Acrocomia aculeata holds cultural and economic importance as the second-largest producer of oleaginous fruits in arid and semi-arid regions, with potential for exploitation as an agricultural crop. It is a tropical arborescent species distributed throughout tropical and subtropical Americas, with a significant occurrence of natural populations in the Cerrado biome. Its broad distribution across various landscapes is supported by a mixed reproductive system, diverse pollination strategies, and resilience to environmental stressors. Despite its resilience in fragmented habitats, anthropogenic habitat fragmentation generally harms populations, affecting gene flow and genetic diversity. In this context, this study aimed to assess genetic diversity and structure of natural populations of A. aculeata from northern Minas Gerais using microsatellites. The five natural populations were named according to the municipality where they were collected, being them Espinosa, Mirabela, Claro dos Poções, Grão Mogol, and Itacambira. The results revealed that four SSR loci amplified 46 different alleles, totaling 1352 alleles. The loci showed significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, with a mean f of 0.288. Among the populations analyzed, ITA was the most genetically diverse, while ESP was the least diverse. As subpopulations, they displayed high genetic structure, with a mean FST of 0.329 and FIT of 0.484. The study suggests the natural populations of Macaw palm in northern Minas Gerais that can be used for germplasm banks, and the ones that requires human intervention to restore genetic diversity.

Addressing the ethnicity degree awarding gap through writing retreats: a case study and reflection
Authors: O'Connell Julia , Daniell Alison 
Published: September 2024

The awarding gap between UK-domiciled full-time Black and white students is a significant problem at HE institutions across the country. This paper examines a case study of a dissertation writing retreat programme which sought to address this awarding gap at a university in the south of England. The programme was based on an innovative ‘three Cs’ framework which focused on three core areas: Community, Culture, and Curriculum. Inspired by the community-building and curriculum elements of the framework, the programme built trust and collaboration between specialists and students, aiming to empower Black students to excel in one of the most important and impactful aspects of their degree, whilst also providing them with a space to engage positively with their peers and the wider university community.

Published: September 2024

Objective: Gastric carcinoma is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early detection can help reduce mortality rates. Biomarkers are being investigated globally for their potential in disease screening, monitoring, and follow-up in various cancers. However, currently, there is insufficient data on the role of biomarkers in gastric carcinoma.
Material and Methods: This single center case control study was conducted from June 2018 to March 2021 from South India. Blood samples were collected from 85 patients diagnosed with gastric carcinoma and 85 apparently healthy individuals serving as the control group. The samples were collected in a fasting state. The serum levels of biomarkers interferon gamma (IFNγ), interleukin 10 (IL-10), and matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP7) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and compared between the two groups. Additionally, the levels of biomarkers were compared within the gastric cancer group based on disease location, stage, and histotype.
Results: The serum levels of IFNγ and IL-10 were found to be significantly elevated in gastric carcinoma patients compared to the healthy control group. Both biomarkers exhibited high sensitivity and specificity in detecting carcinoma of the stomach. However, there was no significant difference in the serum level of MMP7 between gastric cancer patients and control group.
Conclusion: IFNγ and IL-10 show promise as potential molecular biomarkers for the detection of gastric carcinoma. Further, well designed studies, involving larger and more diverse populations matched for stage and histological types, are necessary to establish the screening and monitoring utility of these biomarkers in gastric carcinoma.

Authors: Kedar Shridhar , Kolhalkar Nilesh , Mishra Prerna 
Published: September 2024

In order to address the problem of the reliability of current environmental pollution assessment methods, a comprehensive assessment method of environmental pollution in tourist scenic spots based on improved principle component analysis was proposed. First air, water, and soil pollution for data tourist attractions in the top 5 metropolitan cities of India are collected. Then, the original pollution data is cleaned, the data clustering method is used to classify the pollution data, and the comprehensive evaluation index system of environmental pollution in tourist attractions is established. Finally, the comprehensive evaluation method is implemented to calculate the evaluation values of various indicators, and the comprehensive assessment results of pollution at tourist attractions are obtained. The experimental results show that the correlation of the evaluation index is always controlled above 0.90, the convergence rate of the method is fast, the optimal solution can be approached within 150 iterations, and the application effect is good.

Acquirer ESG, Home Country Policy Enforcement, Country Distance, and Cross-Border Mergers and Acquisitions: Evidence from Chinese Firms
Authors: Guo Jianquan , Kou Jiao 
Published: September 2024

This paper examines the impact of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) on cross-border M&A activities and outcomes from the perspective of emerging economy firms. Using cross-border M&A events of Chinese acquirers between 2009 and 2021 as a sample, we employ logistic regression and multiple linear regression for analysis and conduct robustness tests. The study finds that: (1) Acquirers with lower ESG ratings are more likely to choose other developing countries for M&A, and the home country’s policy enforcement significantly positively moderates this relationship; (2) Lower ESG ratings of acquirers have a significant negative impact on their M&A performance, while the country distance between China and the host country does not have a significant moderating effect on this relationship. These results suggest that under strong home country policy enforcement, emerging economy firms are pressured by their home country’s ESG ratings to choose host countries with lower ESG requirements for M&A. However, this approach is like “drinking poison to quench thirst”; while selecting an “ESG haven” can temporarily reduce ESG rating pressure, low ESG ratings ultimately result in lower M&A performance.

Published: September 2024

PurposeThis study aimed to verify participation and performance in all road and trail-based races in Switzerland over two decades (1999–2019).MethodsThis is a secondary data-based study. We used 1,149,182 race records (788,818 from men and 360,364 from women) from 407,944 unique finishers of the 5 km, 10 km, half-marathon, marathon, and ultra-marathon races in Switzerland, between 1999 and 2019. Data included the athletes’ genders, ages, race distances, and types of races (road or trail). The mento- women ratio was calculated and box plots were used to present differences according to gender, age groups, and race distances in both terrains. Differences between the groups were calculated.ResultsThe men-to-women ratio has generally decreased in all race distances over the years. Runners competing in roadbased races were faster than those in a trail run in all distances. Men had faster finish times than women independent of age, except those competing in 10 km trail races. In road-based races, the men-to-women ratio was higher among older marathoners, while for trail runs, a higher men-to-women ratio was shown for older half-marathoners and participants in 10 km races. For 5 km, 10 km, half-marathon, and ultra-marathon races, a decrease in running speed differences was shown until the age of 50 years.ConclusionsIn Switzerland, most of the runners competed in road-based races, but the interest in trail running has increased. The men-to-women ratio declined over time, which could show an increase in the interest of women to participate in endurance activities.
Possibility to measure the volume of coronary sinus in contrast-enhanced computed tomography
Authors: Młynarska Agnieszka , Młynarski Rafał 
Published: September 2024

IntroductionModern imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) can help in the assessment of coronary sinus volume in a vitro manner, but there is no comprehensive research on this topic so far. Hence, we decided to develop a methodology for measuring the volume of the coronary sinus in multi-detector CT and to try to apply it in practice.Material and methodsForty-nine patients (22 men) were included in this research, with a mean age of 70.08 ± 13.6 years. Scanning with retrospective ECG-gating was performed using a Toshiba Aquilion 64 (slice: 0.5 mm; helical pitch: 12.8; rotation time: 0.4 s). 80 ± 20 cm3 of non-ionic contrast was administered to each patient. The volume of coronary sinus and other data measurements were performed using Vitrea 2 workstations. The organ volume measurement function was used to measure volume objects in CT scans. To standardise the measurements, they were all performed to the place where the vein of Marshall reaches the coronary sinus. In cases of loss of vein of Marshall, the first lateral vein was used as the junction between the coronary sinus and the great cardiac vein.ResultsThe coronary sinus volume varied from 0.96 cm<sup>3</sup> to 8.52 cm<sup>3</sup>. The average volume was 3.71 ± 1.64 cm<sup>3</sup>. There was a significant correlation between end diastolic volume and coronary sinus volume (r = 0.33, p = 0.02). In most cases the quality of visualisation was good – the average was calculated as 4.16 ± 0.87. The Thebesian valve was present in 22 cases (44.9%); however, no statistical relationship between the presence of the Thebesian valve and coronary sinus was observed.ConclusionsIt is possible to visualise and calculate the volume of the coronary sinus in cardiac CT.

Abstract. Quantifying today's topography can provide insights into landscape evolution and its controls, since present topography represents a cumulative expression of past and present surface processes. The Ulsan Fault Zone (UFZ) is an active fault zone on the southeastern Korean Peninsula that was reactivated as a reverse fault around 5 Ma. The UFZ strikes NNW–SSE and dips eastward. This study investigates the relative tectonic activity along the UFZ and the landscape evolution of the hanging-wall side of the UFZ, focusing on neotectonic perturbations using 10Be-derived catchment-averaged denudation rates and bedrock incision rates, topographic metrics, and a landscape evolution model. Five geological segments were identified along the fault, based on their relative tectonic activity and fault geometry. We simulated four cases of landscape evolution to investigate the geomorphic processes and accompanying topographic changes in the study area in response to fault movement. Model results reveal that the geomorphic processes and the patterns of topographic metrics (e.g., χ anomalies) depend on inherited topography (i.e., the topography that existed prior to reverse fault reactivation of the UFZ). On the basis of this important model finding and additional topographic metrics, we interpret the tectono-geomorphic history of the study area as follows: (1) the northern part of the UFZ has been in a transient state and is in topographic and geometric disequilibrium, so this segment underwent asymmetric uplift (westward tilting) prior to reverse faulting on the UFZ around 5 Ma, and (2) its southern part was negligibly influenced by the asymmetric uplift before reverse faulting. Our study demonstrates the utility of topographic metrics as reliable criteria for resolving fault segments. Together with landscape evolution modeling, topographic metrics provide powerful tools for examining the influence of inherited topography on present topography and for the elucidation of tectono-geomorphic histories.

Published: September 2024

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is a plant that requires more N nutrients than other nutrients. The abundance and affordability of rabbit urine bio fertilizer can reduce the cost of cultivation production inputs due to the high price of inorganic fertilizers. Rabbit urine contains higher N nutrients compared to other livestock urine. This study aims to obtain a combination of Rabbit Bio Urine (BUK) fertilizer concentration and NPK fertilizer dosage that can give the best results on the growth of sorghum plants (Sorghum bicolor L.). The research method used is a non-factorial Randomized Group Design (RAK) consisting of 6 levels, namely: P1 (BUK 0 ml/L + 100% NPK), P2 (BUK 41 ml/L + 80% NPK), P3 (BUK 27 ml/L + 80% NPK), P4 (BUK 18 ml/L + 80% NPK), P5 (BUK 9 ml/L + 80% NPK), and P6 (BUK 5 ml/L + 80% NPK). The application of rabbit bio urine fertilizer gives a real effect on the parameters of plant height and stem diameter at the age of 36 HST and 42 HST. In the parameter of the number of leaves, rabbit bio urine fertilizer and NPK gave no significant effect at all observation times. The P2 treatment (BUK 41 ml/L + NPK 80%) gave the highest results in the parameters of plant height at the age of 36 HST and 42 HST which amounted to 98,1 cm and 123,7 cm. In the parameter of stem diameter, the highest result was obtained by P1 (BUK 0 ml/L + NPK 100%) which amounted to 14,8 mm.
