Abstract
This paper presents an exploration of solar flares and solar radio bursts(SRBs) associated with β-γ-δ class active regions (ARs) during the ascending phase of solar cycle 25th, spanning from January 2022 to May 2024. The β-γ-δ ARs have complex magnetic fields with bipolar configurations, which are conducive to the production of intense solar flares. During solar flares, powerful electromagnetic (EM) radiation including solar radio bursts (SRBs) penetrates the outside of the Sun. The investigation was started by collecting the number of β-γ-δ, solar flares and SRBs for statistical evaluation. The details of AR such as the date and number of the active region of β-γ-δ were obtained from the Space Weather Live website. Then, the associated number of solar flares in all classes (Class-B, Class-C, Class-M and Class-X) from SWPC, NOAA and SRBs of Type II, Type III and Type IV from the CALLISTO spectrometer were calculated and recorded. In order to observe changes over the years, the data for solar flares and SRBs were analyzed separately for 2022, 2023, and 2024 and plotted in histograms. The results show that the average occurrence of β-γ-δ ARs in 2024 was 6 days and it was higher than compared to in 2023 and 2022 which had averages of 2 and 3 days, respectively. The production of Class-C, Class-M, and Class-X flares demonstrated significant trends with the ascending phase of the solar cycle. The highest number of Class-X flares occurred in AR 13664, with 10 flares recorded over 9 days. Moreover, the number of SRBs included 12 Type II bursts and 6 Type IV bursts, with the majority of days having both types of bursts. Additional factors contributing to the production number of solar flares and SRBs from β-γ-δ ARs have been studied and discussed in this paper.

Abstract
Danau Rayo, one of the candidate’s geosites, is located in Kecamatan Rupit, Musi Rawa Utara Regency, and consists of the Kasai Formation as the Quaternary volcanic product. This study intends to Aind Danau Rayo’s uniqueness from the geoscience perspective, especially a morphological approach. The shape of the lake, which looks like a perfect circle with a diameter of about 645 meters in the middle of a plain that is not connected to a river, shows its geological uniqueness. The results of 3-dimensional modeling show that there are elevations on several sides, especially the southeast side, allowing the hypothesis that the lake is a meteor fall that formed a crater. The intensive weathering and erosion processes cause the features of the crater rim—characterized by rounded lithology, excellent sorting, open packing, high porosity, and good permeability— to convert into a slip plane when a meteor impacts the northwest lake rim, leaving no trace behind. The unique geological feature of this geosite may add its geological value for geotourism development in this area.

Abstract
Sangiang Island, nestled in the Sunda Strait of Indonesia, is a hidden gem renowned for its unique geological and ecological features. The island is characterized by its volcanic origins, with dramatic coastal cliffs and rugged landscapes shaped by ancient volcanic activity, offering valuable insights into the Earth’s past volcanic processes. A systematic investigation has been conducted in several selected sites on Sangiang Island, including inventory, characterization, classification, assessment, and evaluation. This study aims to assess the potential of Sangiang Island as a geoheritage and geotourism destination. The sites examined include Sangiang Harbour, Begal Hill, Harapan Summit, Panjang Beach, and Bat Cave. Both qualitative and quantitative assessments were conducted, focusing on geoheritage values like Intrinsic and Scientific Value, Educational Value, Economic Value, Conservation Value, and Added Value. The analysis reveals that Sangiang Island’s geodiversity holds promising potential as geoheritage, with final scores ranging from 56.94% to 69.44%. Despite its uniqueness, Sangiang Island remains slightly renowned due to lack of maintenance and promotion. Geoconservation efforts are necessary at all these sites to support research, education, and geotourism.

Abstract
Determining the growth phase of rice is an estimation technique that has been carried out universally using satellite images. However, an estimation model cannot applied in other areas due to different regional characteristics. Lowland areas have different environmental factors than highland areas. Padang City with the characteristics of a coastal area dan including the capital of West Sumatra Province has productive rice fields as one of the rice supplies in Padang City. This study aims to determine a model for estimating the growth phase of rice plants in Padang City using MODIS Imagery. The data used were MODIS image recordings from January 2021 to July 2024 with 60 image output data. Observation locations with grids or image pixels with rice field areas ≥ 50%. Based on the results of image analysis, a model was obtained for estimating the age of rice plants in Padang City, namely y = −0.000095x2+ 0.013743x + 0.310743 with y being the NDVI value and x is the age of the rice plant with a coefficient of determination (R2) value of 0.9554 in the forceful category and an RMSE value of 0.0383. The range of NDVI values for each phase of rice growth in Koto Tangah District, Padang City, is water phase < 0.5063; vegetative phase (1) 0.5063-0.7515; vegetative phase (2) 0.7515-0.8022; generative phase (1) 0.8022-0.7546; generative phase (2) 0.7546-0.5134 and fallow phase 0.5134-0.3198.

Abstract
It was investigated whether shellac nanoemulsion coating might preserve the internal quality of chicken eggs and increase their shelf life. Using a high energy approach with an ultraturrax set at 16,000 rpm, shellac, purified water, tween 80, and biosilica were emulsified. A total of 120 chicken eggs were divided into 4 groups: 1) uncoated (control), 2) coated with 0.5% w/w of biosilica, 3) coated with 1.0 % w/w of biosilica, 4) coated with 1.5% w/w of biosilica in shellac nanoemulsion. The eggs were stored at room temperature for 6 weeks and their quality parameters were observed weekly. The results showed that coating eggs with shellac nanoemulsion and biosilica at concentrations of 0-1.5% w/w significantly affected their internal quality (p<0.05) compared to uncoated eggs. The shellac nanoemulsion formulation with 1% w/w of biosilica concentration showed the best internal quality parameter values up to week 6 of storage as follows: yolk index 0.18; egg white index 0.03; pH 9.10; HU value 42; weight loss 2.89%. The addition of biosilica to a shellac-based nanoemulsion shows promise as an eco-friendly coating material that can prolong the shelf life and maintain the internal quality of chicken eggs.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is a very popular tropical fruit that is rich in nutrients, but its shelf life is short due to its climacteric nature. In this study, the effect of coating with aloe vera gel (AVG) modified by virgin coconut oil (VCO) to preserve post-harvest guava fruit was investigated. The coating formula was prepared by mixing 75% AVG with variations of VCO (0.0%, 1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%, and 4.0%), along with other additives such as Tween 80 (0.6%), CMC (1.5%), glycerol (1%), and distilled water. The physicochemical properties of the guava were measured over a storage period of 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 days. The optimal coating, which can extend the shelf life to 15 days compared to 3 days for the uncoated fruit, was found with the addition of 2.0% VCO, resulting in a weight loss of 28.25%, a decay incidence of 10.00%, texture of 4.37N, total soluble solids of 10.67 °BRIX, water content of 78.28%, total titratable acidity of 0.66%, total phenolics of 774.69 mg GAE/gFW and total antioxidants of 679.64 mg AAE/gFW. In conclusion, the addition of VCO to aloe vera gel-based edible coatings effectively preserves the post-harvest quality of guava fruit.
GOS dual-metal split-gate step channel dielectrically modulated DG-TFET biosensor: A label-free non-ideal case study and analysis
Authors: Shaw Namrata , Mukhopadhyay Bratati 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article performs an extensive analysis of the ideal and non-ideal case of hybridization of biomolecules in the nano-gap cavity present in a biosensor device. A gate-on-source (GOS) dual metal, split-gate, step channel dielectrically modulated (DM) double gate TFET-based label-free biosensor is proposed in this paper. The commercial TCAD simulation software (Silvaco TCAD) is used to simulate the proposed device. The paper focusses on both the performance improvement of the TFET device used to implement the biosensor and the sensitivity of the biosensor device. This proposed label-free bio-sensing device exhibits a high drain current sensitivity ∼ 108 (for dielectric constant k in the range of 15) irrespective of the presence/absence of charge on the biomolecules. A high ION/IOFF ratio of the range ∼ 108 is obtained for the proposed device. A low sub-threshold swing (less than 60 mV dec−1) is seen to be given by the proposed device. There are several non-ideal cases investigated in this work to allow the comprehension of the viability of this biosensor in practical applications. The non-ideal cases with fill factors ranging from 30% to 80% are analysed alongwith steric hindrance effects n the device sensitivity. The integration of electrical FET device with the biological sensing module to develop a biosensor is successfully achieved in this work to allow the attainment of a feasible solution for everyday needs.

Abstract
Understanding how phytoplankton response to elevated CO2 and/or warming through long-term genotypic adaptation is critical for predicting future phytoplankton distribution and community structure. In this study, we conducted a 4.5-year experimental evolution with the model marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin under four environmental regimes: ambient conditions, high CO2, warming, and combined high CO2 + warming. Following this long-term adaptation, we exposed the populations to a broad CO2 gradient in a short-term (7-day) experiment, assessing their multi-trait responses. Our results demonstrate that P. tricornutum Bohlin populations adapted to different regimes exhibit significant multi-trait variation across CO2 gradients. Notably, the variability driven by long-term adaptation exceeded that induced by short-term CO2 changes. Furthermore, both long-term adaptation and short-term CO2 exposure altered trait co-variations, highlighting the complex interplay between environmental history and immediate conditions. This study emphasizes the importance to assess long-term genetic changes in marine phytoplankton under global change, as short-term experiments alone may underestimate their capacity for adaptation and the broader implications for marine ecosystems under future climate scenarios.

Abstract

Introduction
Sexual health concerns are common and significantly impact quality of life, but many people do not seek treatment due to embarrassment and other barriers. A biopsychosocial model of assessment and treatment acknowledges the biological, psychological, and social contributors to sexual difficulties and suggests that all these domains should be evaluated.

Objectives
This paper provides an overview of the major psychological factors contributing to sexual difficulties and offer an evidence-based approach for primary care clinicians to assess and treat these issues.

Methods
A comprehensive literature review was undertaken focusing on articles published since the last consultation in 2016. The study findings were synthesized, critiqued, authors assigned a Grading of Recommendation as Weak or Strong following a year-long process of discussions among the committee. When a particular well-established psychological practice was not evaluated in the literature, we assigned an expert opinion recommendation.

Results
Since the 2015 ICSM, there have been a number of high-quality trials of psychological treatments addressing sexual dysfunctions, as well as meta-analyses and systematic reviews. In some domains, there is strong evidence of psychological treatment, and primary care providers should be aware of such approaches and refer when appropriate.

Conclusions
This paper offers a practical guide for primary care clinicians to understand the psychological factors underlying sexual dysfunction and outlining what approaches may be appropriate for this clinician, and when the patient should be referred to a specialist. We emphasize an evidence-based approach to managing sexual dysfunctions in primary care, allowing for timely interventions. A comprehensive evaluation of biopsychosocial factors is recommended to personalize psychological interventions to overall context, including chronic diseases, mental health issues, and relationship conflicts. The initial assessment is key to developing an individualized intervention plan, which may include psychoeducation, referral for cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, or couple therapy, and consideration of medical or digital health interventions.

Published: December 2024

Purpose:
Long COVID (LC) is an ongoing public health crisis due to the persistent and debilitating symptoms that many individuals develop after surviving an acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. Neurocognitive impairments associated with LC are prevalent and difficult to treat. This study describes the clinical characteristics and outcomes from a cohort of patients with LC and examines how cognitive dysfunction is related to various other health domains such as function, neuropsychiatric issues, and quality of life.

Methods:
Retrospective cross-sectional analyses were conducted using self-reported data collected by online survey: demographic information, questions about symptoms, perceived deficits, functional limitations, and other measures of well-being from various standardized instruments. The relationship between cognitive dysfunction and these variables was assessed by Spearman correlations and chi-square tests.

Results:
The sample included 427 subjects: 29.7% male, median 45 (14–89) years old. Based on normative cutoff, a large majority (72.4%) presented with cognitive dysfunction, which was significantly associated to fatigue (P < .001), disability (P < .001), reduced employment (P < .001), and difficulty in usual activities (P < .001).

Conclusions:
These findings align with and expand on previous studies investigating the negative impact of LC. Impaired cognition seems linked to adverse effects and daily functioning but causality cannot be determined without further research. Ongoing efforts are needed for identifying feasible and effective treatment options that may improve management of this complex condition.

Authors: Anderson Meaghan , Bauer Naomi 
Published: December 2024

Background and Purpose:
As a result of COVID-19 infection, millions of individuals are now affected by Long COVID, and this number continues to increase. These individuals experience a multitude of symptoms and limitations that make accessing conventional rehabilitative care challenging. The traditional model of in-person physical therapy presents unique challenges for these individuals. Providing physical therapy virtually allows more individuals with Long COVID to receive physical therapy who otherwise would not be able to tolerate it or have access. The purpose of this paper is to outline the case for virtual care to become the preferred option for rehabilitation of individuals with Long COVID.

Objective:

Camellia nitidissima Chi, a Chinese medicine commonly used by ethnic minorities in Guangxi, China, is beneficial for clearing heat, detoxifying, inducing diuresis, and suppressing swelling. It has various pharmacological properties, including antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. However, its potential application in radioprotection remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to determine whether Camellia nitidissima Chi has radioprotective effects against radiation-induced gastrointestinal and hematopoietic damage.

Methods:
The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical and 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) techniques were used to assess the ability of Camellia nitidissima Chi to scavenge free radicals. We conducted a 30-day survival rate experiment to evaluate the radioprotective capabilities of Camellia nitidissima Chi. Additionally, we developed models of radiation-induced intestinal and hematopoietic damage. Alterations in the white blood cell (WBC) count, total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), glutathione (GSH), and protein expression linked to apoptosis were observed.

Results:

Camellia nitidissima Chi scavenged 84.72% and 93.47% of DPPH and ABTS, had a certain radiation protection potential, and increased the survival rate of mice to over 90%. Moreover, following exposure, Camellia nitidissima Chi enhanced WBC, T-SOD, and GSH levels. Camellia nitidissima Chi increased B-cell lymphoma-extra large (BCL-XL) expression and suppressed Bcl-2 associated X protein (BAX) expression, providing radioprotection to cells.

Conclusions:

Camellia nitidissima Chi has a strong antioxidant ability; it can improve the survival rate of mice after lethal dose irradiation and protect against radiation-induced hematopoietic and gastrointestinal damage. These findings can serve as a guide for using Chinese medicines for radioprotection.
