Abstract. Objectives. The objectives of this study were twofold: to analyze the composition and content of fatty acids in various adipose tissues (including kidney, abdominal, subcutaneous, and omental) of Yanbian yellow cattle and to observe the morphology of adipocytes within these tissues and to assess the level of expression of specific genes – kinase insert domain receptor (KDR), apolipoprotein L domain containing 1 (APOLD1), stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1), secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4), fatty-acid-binding protein 5 (FABP5), and sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP2) – in different adipose tissues (kidney, abdominal, posterior belly, ribeye, prothorax, striploin, upper brain, and neck) of Yanbian yellow cattle.
Method. Castrated Yanbian yellow cattle, 24 months old, with identical genetic backgrounds and raised under the same breeding management conditions, were selected. The fatty acid composition and content were assessed using gas chromatography, while the size and diameter of adipocytes were analyzed via paraffin sectioning. The level of expression was determined using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results. In total, 16 distinct fatty acids were identified in abdominal adipose tissue. Additionally, henicosanoic acid (C21:0) and behenic acid (C22:0) were detected exclusively in subcutaneous adipose tissue. Caprylic acid (C8:0) was found in both kidney and omental adipose tissues. The size of individual adipocytes in kidney adipose tissue was notably larger compared to the adipocytes in the other three regions (p<0.05). Regarding gene expression, APOLD1 exhibits its highest expression in striploin adipose tissues (p<0.05), while SCD1 shows its peak expression in prothorax adipose tissues (p<0.05). Moreover, both FABP5 and SCP2 demonstrate their highest level of expression in prothorax adipose tissue (p<0.05). Furthermore, the level of expression of KDR and SFRP4 across these seven adipose tissue regions exhibits significant differences (p<0.05). Conclusion. In conclusion, Yanbian yellow cattle exhibit variations in both the composition and content of fatty acids across different adipose tissue depots, including the kidney, abdominal, subcutaneous, and omental regions. Moreover, adipocytes display distinct morphological differences across these tissue types. Furthermore, the level of expression of KDR, APOLD1, SCD1, SFRP4, FABP5, and SCP2 varies significantly among adipose tissues located in the kidney, abdominal, posterior belly, ribeye, prothorax, striploin, upper brain, and neck regions.

Abstract. The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is highly susceptible to climate change, and nitrogen-containing organic compounds (NOCs) in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) represent one of the largest uncertainties with respect to their impact on the climate in high-altitude areas. Previous studies have shown that NOCs play a vital role in the nitrogen budget of PM2.5. However, our understanding of the composition and sources of NOCs in PM2.5, particularly in the TP, is limited. Here, we aim to enhance our understanding of NOCs in the TP region by examining their identification, concentration levels, sources, and origins. We conducted field sampling at a regional background sampling site in Gaomeigu, in the southeastern margin of the TP from 11 March to 13 May 2017, followed by laboratory analysis of the NOCs collected on the filters. The daily mass concentrations of NOCs ranged from 714.4 to 3887.1 ng m−3, with an average of 2119.4 ± 875.0 ng m−3 during the campaign. This average concentration was approximately 40 % higher than that reported at a typical regional site in the North China Plain (NCP), highlighting a more significant presence of NOCs in the Tibetan area. Biomass burning and secondary sources were identified as the major contributors to total NOCs. This was further substantiated by a regional air quality model, which indicated that over 80 % of the aerosol in the southeast of the TP originated from neighboring countries. This study improves our understanding of NOCs' contribution to PM2.5 in the TP and their potential impacts on climate stability in high-altitude areas.

Abstract. In this study, we demonstrate the utility of available correlative measurements of carbon species to identify regional and local air mass characteristics as well as their associated source types. In particular, we combine different regression techniques and enhancement ratio algorithms with carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4) total column abundance from 11 sites of the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) to infer relative contributions of regional and local sources to each of these sites. The enhancement ratios provide a viable alternative to univariate measures of relationships between the trace gases that are insufficient in capturing source-type and transport signatures. Regional enhancements are estimated from the difference between bivariate regressions across a specific time window of observed total abundance of these species (BERr for bulk enhancement regression ratio) and inferred anomalies (AERr for anomaly enhancement regression ratio) associated with a site-specific background. Since BERr and AERr represent the bulk and local species enhancement ratio, respectively, its difference simply represents the site-specific regional component of these ratios. We can then compare these enhancements for CO2 and CH4 with CO to differentiate between combustion and non-combustion air masses. Our results show that while the regional and local influences in enhancements vary across sites, dominant characteristics are found to be consistent with previous studies over these sites and with bottom-up anthropogenic and fire emission inventories. The site in Pasadena shows a dominant local influence (> 60 %) across all species enhancement ratios, which appear to come from a mixture of biospheric and combustion activities. In contrast, Anmyeondo shows more regionally influenced (> 60 %) air masses associated with high-temperature and/or biofuel combustion activities. Ascension Island appears to only show a large regional influence (> 80 %) on CO / CO2 and CO / CH4, which is indicative of transported and combustion-related CO from the nearby African region, consistent with a sharp rise in column CO (3.51 ± 0.43 % ppb yr−1) at this site. These methods have important applications to source analysis using spaceborne column retrievals of these species.
The weather of 1740, the coldest year in central Europe in 600 years

Abstract. The winter of 1739/40 is known as one of the coldest winters in Europe since early instrumental measurements began. Many contemporary sources discuss the cold waves and compare the winter to that of 1708/09. It is less well known that the year 1740 remained cold until August and was again cold in October and that negative temperature anomalies were also found over Eurasia and North America. The 1739/40 cold season over northern mid-latitude land areas was perhaps the coldest in 300 years, and 1740 was the coldest year in central Europe in 600 years. New monthly global climate reconstructions allow us to address this momentous event in greater detail, while daily observations and weather reconstructions give insight into the synoptic situations. Over Europe, we find that the event was initiated by a strong Scandinavian blocking in early January, allowing the advection of continental cold air. From February until June, high pressure dominated over Ireland, arguably associated with frequent eastern Atlantic blocking. This led to cold-air advection from the cold northern North Atlantic. During the summer, cyclonic weather dominated over central Europe, associated with cold and wet air from the Atlantic. The possible role of oceanic influences (El Niño) and external forcings (eruption of Mount Tarumae in 1739) are discussed. While a possible El Niño event might have contributed to the winter cold spells, the eastern Atlantic blocking is arguably unrelated to either El Niño or the volcanic eruption. All in all, the cold year of 1740 marks one of the strongest, arguably unforced excursions in European temperature.

Abstract. Chilean Patagonia is confronted with several geohazards due to its tectonic setting, i.e., the presence of a subduction zone and numerous fault zones, e.g., the Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault Zone (LOFZ). This region has therefore been the subject of numerous paleoseismological studies. However, this study reveals that the seismic hazard is not limited to these large tectonic structures by identifying past fault activity near Coyhaique in Aysén Region. Mass-wasting deposits in Lago Pollux, a lake located ca. 15 km SW of this region's capital, were identified through analysis of reflection-seismic data and were linked to a simultaneous event recorded in nearby Lago Castor. Furthermore, a coeval ∼50-year-long catchment response was identified in Aysén Fjord based on the multiproxy analysis of a portion of a sediment core. Assuming that this widely recognized event was triggered by an earthquake, ground-motion modeling was applied to derive the most likely magnitude and source fault. The model showed that an earthquake rupture along a local fault, in the vicinity of Lago Pollux and Lago Castor, with a magnitude of 5.6–6.8, is the most likely scenario.

Published: October 2024

There are many factors due to the increasing number of graduate students experiencing anxiety during their studies. One of the factors can be related to time management since many graduate students are students that have jobs, families, and other responsibilities. Having so much on their plate might be a cause of anxiety when it is done with poor time management on their end. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out whether there is a relation between time management and anxiety, and whether gender plays important role in time management among the students of Master of Education Graduate Students of XYZ University. This research paper is a quantitative study which uses inferential statistics. The sample of this study was selected using purposive sampling technique. A total of 40 participants were recruited for this study. The data of time management were collected using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from Seldom True (1) to Very Often True (5), meanwhile for anxiety the Likert scale ranging from Not Present (1) to Very Severe (5). The questionnaire was presented using Google Form in Bahasa then distributed through WhatsApp group. The data reliability was measured using Cronbach's Alpha with the result of 0.70. According to the survey 5 (12.5%) students had high time management, 29 (72.5%) students had moderate, and 6 (15%) students had low time management. This study concludes that there is no correlation between time management with anxiety and the average of female students’ time management is as same as male students’ time management. In addition, regarding time management skill, it can be synthetized that most of the Master of Education Graduate Students of XYZ University are having moderate time management. Nevertheless, it is recommended that a thorough further research regarding this study should aim to investigate additional variables and factors that may contribute to the understanding of the relationship between time management and anxiety among Master of Education graduate students, so that it can have a better comprehensive evaluation in the future.
