Authors: Ogunmola Gabriel Ayodeji 
Published: January 2025

Since the gain of independence in 1991, Uzbekistan has worked through diverse economic transformations with a transition from a central economy to a Market economy. These have sought to develop entrepreneurship and encourage FDI inflows, at the same time business is still shaped by history, culture and institutions. For this investigation, the affect of the cultural dimensions including collectivism, power distance, and long term orientation towards the adoption of modern management practices, green innovation and digitization in Uzbekistan is examined. Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions Theory, Theory of Planned Behavior, and the Technology-Organization-Environment are used to analyze these influences in the present research. The study shows that collectivism positively influences the implementation of the modern management practices while high power distance negatively influence it. Long-term orientation to a very large extent influences green innovation and appropriate attitude toward technology is essential for digitalization. Subjective norms which are highly endorsed scale and perceived behavioral control further enhance green innovation and digitization respectively. Furthermore, other adoption conditions such as the technological and environmental support for the adoptions are important while size and centralization of organizations present adoption challenges. Thus, this work enriches the scientific literature by revealing the dependencies of business activities in a transitional economy with respect to cultural values. The conclusions for business and authorities stress the importance of cultural contingency approach to improve organization performance and improvement in Uzbekistan. The future research should incorporate longitudinal studies and pay attention to such other cultural dimensions and characteristics of organizations.
Highlights:

Uzbekistan transitions from central to market economy, shaping business by culture.
Collectivism aids modern management; power distance hinders; long-term orientation boosts innovation.
Cultural values, technology, and environment critical for green innovation, digitization success.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Terrestrial ecosystem respiration (ER) is a key component of the carbon cycle and is highly temperature sensitive. While ER has often been modeled as an exponential function of temperature, recent evidence shows that ER exhibits an optimal temperature (Topt) and a monotonic response beyond this threshold. However, the temporal dynamics of Topt under climate warming remain poorly understood. This study analyzed data from 135 long-term FLUXNET sites, each with at least five years of observation. Our results show that Topt of ER increased with rising temperatures, indicating thermal acclimation, with a global average acclimation magnitude (Topt change per unit change in maximum temperature across years within the site) of 0.82°C. More interestingly, this acclimation magnitude showed a negative correlation with mean annual temperature. This negative correlation suggests that ecosystems in colder regions exhibit higher acclimation magnitudes compared to warmer regions, potentially reducing the variation in Topt across biomes under future warming. These findings indicate a homogenization of Topt under warming conditions. Our scenario analysis suggested that neglecting thermal acclimation may lead to inaccurate Topt estimates under future climate scenarios, underscoring the need to incorporate variable thermal acclimation responses of Topt into Earth System Models.

Abstract

The Southern Ocean (SO) plays a key role in regulating global biogeochemical cycles and climate, yet microbial genes sustaining its biological activity remain poorly characterized. We introduce a comprehensive SO microbial genes collection from 218 metagenomes sampled during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition, the majority of which are missing from functional databases. 38% even lack homologs in current reference marine gene catalogs, defining a singular genetic seascape. We show that SO gene assemblages exhibit a common polar signature with the Arctic Ocean while being structured by water masses at the SO-scale. We analyze genomic markers of diverse SO biomes, focusing on adaptations to organic matter consumption in the blooming Mertz polynya and temperature-dependent trace metal utilization by the ubiquist Bacteria Pelagibacter. Our work takes a step towards a more comprehensive understanding of SO’s plankton ecology and evolution, capturing the current state of the unique microbial diversity in this rapidly changing Ocean.
Eosinophils Enhance Granuloma-Mediated Control of Persistent Salmonella Infection

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Salmonella enterica can persist asymptomatically within tissues for extended periods. This remarkable feat is achieved through intricate host-pathogen interactions in immune cell aggregates called granulomas, wherein Salmonella find favorable cellular niches to exploit while the host limits its expansion and tissue dissemination. Here, using a mouse model of persistent Salmonella infection, we identify a host-protective role of eosinophils in control of Salmonella Typhimurium (STm) infection within the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN), the main lymphoid tissue of STm persistence. Combining spatial transcriptomics and experimental manipulations, we found that macrophages responding to STm infection recruited eosinophils in a C-C motif chemokine ligand 11 (CCL11)-dependent manner and enhanced their activation. Eosinophil deficiencies increased Salmonella burdens, which was associated with altered granuloma size and impaired type-1 immunity in the MLN. Thus, eosinophils play a vital role in restraining Salmonella exploitation of granuloma macrophages at a key site of bacterial persistence.

Abstract

Schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease, is transmitted by freshwater snails. Interruption of transmission will require novel vector-focused interventions. We performed a genome-wide association study of African snails, Biomphalaria sudanica, exposed to Schistosoma mansoni in an endemic area of high transmission in Kenya. Two snail genomic regions, SudRes1 and SudRes2, were significantly associated with snail immunity to schistosomes. SudRes1 includes receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatases while SudRes2 includes a class of leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptors, both comprising diverse extracellular binding domains suggestive of host-pathogen interaction. Resistant and susceptible haplotypes show numerous coding differences including presence/absence of entire genes. No loci previously tied to schistosome resistance in neotropical snail species showed any association with compatibility suggesting that loci involved in the resistance of African vectors are distinct. Snail ancestry was also strongly correlated with parasite compatibility. These results will inform future efforts to predict and manipulate immunity of a major schistosome vector.
