Published: October 2024

Most Thai rivers have not yet reached "good" ecological status. Furthermore, the scientific community is deeply concerned about the existence and abundance of microplastics (MPs) in freshwater. The live weirs' river health status was assessed using water quality and a variety of aquatic insect species. The research was conducted along Khlong-La, which was compared in the absence (R1, R2) and presence of living weirs (LWs) (M71, M62, M4, and M2). In 2023, aquatic insects and water samples were gathered during two months: January (rainy season) and July (dry season). The results revealed that the six sampling sites had similar physical and chemical properties, with the exception of total dissolved solids, which varied significantly. A total of 658 aquatic insects from 25 families and 6 orders were identified. The Hydropsychidae dominated the aquatic insect fauna at the LWs locations, followed by Chironomidae, Naucoridae, and Caenidae. Ten genera were discovered at the reference site (R1), whereas 16, 21, 24, and 19 were discovered at LWs (M71, M62, M4, M2), and 16 at the reference site (R2). The results of CCA ordination revealed that the most important factors influencing aquatic insect diversity were dissolved oxygen, water temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, and ammonia nitrogen. This study suggests that because of their significant responses to environmental factors, the species richness of aquatic insects may indicate the conservation value of habitats. The BMWPTHAI score was 41, 51, 57, 58, 73, 54, and the ASPTTHAI score was 5.12, 5.10, 5.18, 5.27, 4.86, and 5.40, respectively. Shannon-Weiner diversity index (Hʼ) values were 2.059, 2.461, 2.839, 2.777, and 2.587, respectively. The results showed that the water quality was average. The physicochemical data, as well as the BMWP and ASPT, revealed that the water at the living well was slightly polluted. Furthermore, larger MPs (>500 µm) were found in the largest concentrations, in the shape of fibers, and primarily in the color violet.

Современное состояние окружающей среды является следствием проводимой десятилетиями политики экстенсивного подхода к развитию производительных сил и эксплуатации природных ресурсов. За годы реформ земельных отношений в Республике Казахстан появились и значительно усилились проблемы, связанные с деградацией почвенного плодородия по причине нарушения и загрязнения земель в результате нерационального физического и химического воздействия на почву. Выведения земель из хозяйственного оборота, а также их перевода из земель сельскохозяйственного назначения в другие категории, прежде всего, под промышленные и градостроительные и другие нужды обострили экологическую ситуацию процессом деградации земельных ресурсов.
Республика Казахстан занимает десятое место в мире по площади своей территории. Для территории страны характерны пустыни, полупустыни и степи, что в сочетании с аридным и континентальным климатом обусловливает уязвимость экосистем к процессам опустынивания/деградации земель. Другим фактором, оказывающим влияние на усугубление проблемы, является антропогенная деятельность. На сегодняшний день проблемы опустынивания/деградации земель особенно актуальны в Приаралье, Прибалхашье, а также зонах, где ведется интенсивная добыча нефти и газа – в Западном Казахстане, на юге страны. В целом около 66% всей территории страны подвержено процессам опустынивания /деградации земель в той или иной форме. Развитие деградации почв также обуславливается как совокупностью природных условий (климата, рельефа, механического состава почв и др.), так и степенью антропогенного воздействия на них и интенсивностью использования земельных угодий, в первую очередь сельскохозяйственных. В зависимости от главного фактора разрушения почв и утраты их плодородия. По данным качественной характеристики земель в Республике Казахстан числится более 90 млн. га эродированных и эрозионно-опасных земель, из них фактически эродированных – 29,3 млн. га. Республика столкнулась с целым комплексом специфических и весьма разнородных проблем деградации земельных угодий, раздробленных между огромным числом мелких и экономически несостоятельных землепользователей.

В данной статье оценивается пригодность для орошения очищенных хозяйственно-бытовых сточных вод на очистных сооружениях малых населенных пунктов Восточно-Казахстанской области, расположенных вблизи р. Ертис, таких как п. Новая Бухтарма и г. Серебрянск.
Анализ пригодности воды для целей орошения проводился по следующим показателям: с помощью коэффициентов ионного обмена И.Н. Антипов-Каратаев и Г.М. Кадер, ирригационному коэффициенту Стеблера, натриевому адсорбционному отношению (SAR), опасности вторичного осолонцевания по SAR, опасности засоления почв, опасности магниевого осолонцевания почвы.
Для исследования химического состава очищенных хозяйственно-бытовых сточных вод осуществлен отбор проб сточной воды г. Серебрянск и п. Новая Бухтарма и определен их химический состав в аккредитованной лаборатории ТОО «Испытательной лаборатории «НПО «ВК-ЭКО».
По результатам лабораторных исследований установлено, что очищенные сточные воды п. Новая Бухтарма и г. Серебрянск по степени минерализации относятся к слабоминерализованным, по составу солей - к сульфатным по Алекину. Согласно расчетам на основании ирригационных коэффициентов, коэффициентов ионного обмена и натриевого адсорбционного отношения очищенные хозяйственно-бытовые сточные воды пригодны для орошения и не вызывают опасности засоления (осолонцевания) почв. Таким образом, очищенные хозяйственно-бытовые сточные воды п. Новая Бухтарма и г. Серебрянск рекомендуется рассматривать как альтернативный источник для орошения. Одновременно, это решает экологические проблемы, такие как снижение объема забора свежей воды из природных источников и возможность утилизации сточных вод.

Published: October 2024

Thoracophelia Ehlers, 1897 is a genus of Opheliidae characterised by the body divided into three distinct regions, modified parapodia in chaetiger 10 and a ventral groove restricted to the posterior half of the body. To date, 18 species have been described in the genus. Amongst them, six species have been recorded in northeast Asia.
A new species, Thoracophelia foliformis sp. nov., was discovered in the intertidal zone of the Yellow Sea, South Korea. This is the first Thoracophelia species report from the Yellow Sea. This new species is closely related to T. dillonensis (Hartman, 1938) from California and T. ezoensis Okuda, 1936 from Japan in having pectinate branchiae. However, the new species can be distinguished from the two species by the unique combination of the following characteristics: 15 pairs of wrinkled pectinate branchiae with 12–15 filaments at best development and a foliaceous mid-ventral plate in the pygidium instead of one or two thick ventral cirri. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of T. foliformis sp. nov. are provided. Sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), nuclear 18S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and 28S rDNA of the new species were determined and analysed.

LSVT as a fundamental therapeutic technique for improving voice in parkinsonism: Evidence from three cases
Authors: Narayanan Nayana , Rahman Zaba N. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) is one of the main treatments proposed for improving the loudness of hypokinetic dysarthria clients. It follows the modus operandi of training the client to achieve maximum loudness of voice with the highest effort and calibrating the voice at that level. It is very important to pool the evidence obtained from the patients to understand the effectiveness of the technique. My study aims to collect evidence of LSVT treatment from three patients with various stages and severities of Parkinsonism. Results reveal that the loudness level has significantly increased after LSVT treatment in comparison to pre-therapy levels. The percentage of shimmer value has decreased post-therapy. From the result, it is evident that LSVT was highly successful in elevating the loudness of all three clients. The reduction in shimmer percentage coincided with an improved overall quality of voice. Hence, we can conclude that LSVT is an apt treatment method for improving loudness in hypokinetic dysarthria clients.
Extendability of differential forms via Cartier operators
Authors: Kawakami Tatsuro 
Published: October 2024

Let

X

be a normal variety over a perfect field of positive characteristic and

B

a reduced divisor on

X

. We prove that if the Cartier isomorphism on the log smooth locus of

(X,B)

extends to the entire

X

, then

(X,B)

satisfies the logarithmic extension theorem for differential forms. As an application, we show that the logarithmic extension theorem holds for good quotients of smooth varieties by actions of reduced linearly reductive group schemes. In addition, the logarithmic extension theorem for one-forms holds for singularities of higher codimension under assumptions about Serre’s condition. We also prove that tame quotients satisfy the regular extension theorem.
PhysiMeSS - a new physiCell addon for extracellular matrix modelling
Authors: Noël Vincent , Ruscone Marco , Shuttleworth Robyn , Macnamara Cicely K. 
Published: October 2024

The extracellular matrix, composed of macromolecules like collagen fibres, provides structural support to cells and acts as a barrier that metastatic cells degrade to spread beyond the primary tumour. While agent-based frameworks, such as PhysiCell, can simulate the spatial dynamics of tumour evolution, they only implement cells as circles (2D) or spheres (3D). To model the extracellular matrix as a network of fibres, we require a new type of agent represented by line segments (2D) or cylinders (3D).
Here, we present PhysiMeSS, an addon of PhysiCell, introducing a new agent type to describe fibres and their physical interactions with cells and other fibres. PhysiMeSS implementation is available at https://github.com/PhysiMeSS/PhysiMeSS and in the official PhysiCell repository. We provide examples describing the possibilities of this framework. This tool may help tackle important biological questions, such as diseases linked to dysregulation of the extracellular matrix or the processes leading to cancer metastasis.

Published: October 2024

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is the most common type of diabetes. The main adverse effect of diabetes type 2 involves a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Diabetes patients with this type are more likely to suffer cardiovascular problems. Consequently, this study investigated demographics, CVR factors, age, gender, physical activity, BMI, hemodynamics, HbA1c stage, and lipid profile of 120 patients with type 2 diabetes in Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan. The current study covered 120 patients with type 2 diabetes, out of which 40 were male (33.3%) and 80 were female (66.6%), aged 50 to 70. Out of these 120 patients, 17 (14.1%) had coronary artery disease, 15 (12.5) had atherosclerosis, and 8% (6.6) experienced a stroke, according to the findings. Approximately 37.5% of patients had overweight obesity, 54% had poor diabetes control, and 10% had reasonable control based on their HbA1c readings. Furthermore, 55% were hypertensive, and around 12.5% had both macro and microvascular problems. In general, around 33.3% of all Type 2 DM patients have cardiovascular diseases (CVD), indicating that patients with Type 2 DM have a greater risk of increasing CVD. As a result, proper strategies should be implemented to avoid catastrophic outcomes and disease development.

Introduction: The inheritance of different religions is one of the contemporary problems in contemporary Islamic legal thought. As time progresses, cases involving inheritance law from different religions are becoming increasingly common. One of the contributing factors is the heirs' (non-Muslim) disagreement with the distribution of assets which is considered unfair.Purposes of the Research: Analyze the application of law in the implementation of the division of inheritance of different religions and the legal consequences in the implementation of the division of inheritance of different religions.Methods of the Research: The research method used is normative legal research relying on a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. Meanwhile, the sources of legal materials used include primary, secondary and tertiary sources of legal materials collected through literature studies and analyzed juridically.Results of the Research: The results of this research show that the legal consequences of resolving inheritance from different religions in its implementation give rise to different interpretations of Judges in considering the law in rulings, as well as giving rise to legal uncertainty, both in the implementation process and the legal status of heirs of different religions, this is because there is no There are definite legal rules, but the implementation of mandatory wills for non-Muslim heirs of Muslim heirs is a form of love and affection between fellow human beings and is an effort to uphold justice and benefit for non-Muslim relatives because their right to inherit is obstructed.

Introduction: Indonesia, as a country under the rule of law, upholds the principle of equality before the law. This principle is also applied in the freedom to contract, which requires a valid agreement to meet four conditions: agreement, competency, specific object, and lawful cause. The Fixed-Term Employment Agreement is a form of employment relationship between employers and workers that suffers from shortcomings in its implementation. Many employers do not understand the rules, leading to deviations in practice.Purposes of the Research: The aim of this research is to examine and analyze the implementation of the Fixed-Term Employment Agreement system from the perspective of positive law in Indonesia.Methods of the Research: This research is a normative juridical research, using a descriptive analytical research type using primary, secondary and tertiary legal sources. The approach used is a statutory approach (Statute Approach) and conceptual approach (conceptual approach). The technique of collecting legal materials uses a literature study which is then analyzed qualitatively in order to answer the problems studied.Results of the Research: Based on the research results, it is shown that the protection of workers in Fixed-Term Employment Agreements is not optimal in its implementation due to frequent violations. This is attributed to the unclear regulations regarding the application of The Fixed-Term Employment Agreement, particularly concerning types of work that are one-time, temporary, seasonal, or related to new products. Furthermore, the lack of government supervision in the The Fixed-Term Employment Agreement creation process enables employers to easily violate regulations without legal repercussions.

Mayoritas petani budidaya udang di Indonesia menggunakan kincir air tambak secara terus menerus untuk mengontrol kadar oksigen ataupun suhu air. Pompa air juga digunakan dalam waktu lama untuk meningkatkan level air. Namun, kedua hal tersebut sering menimbulkan masalah berupa kerusakan mesin penggerak kincir dan/atau pompa air (motor listrik) akibat panas berlebih. Selain itu, peningkatan biaya produksi juga terjadi akibat penggunaan kincir air yang tidak optimal. Oleh karena itu, sebuah sistem proteksi dan peningkatan efisiensi penggunaan kincir dan pompa air berbasis internet of things (IoT) diperlukan untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut. Sistem tersebut tersusun dari tiga sensor, yaitu sebuah sensor suhu tipe contactless (MLX90614), dua buah sensor tipe waterproof, yaitu sensor suhu air (DS18B20) dan sensor level air berbasis ultrasonik (JSN-SR04T). Sebuah prosesor ESP32 digunakan untuk menampilkan hasil sensor pada monitor dan mengirimkannya ke pengguna melalui jaringan internet. ESP32 juga berfungsi untuk mengontrol kincir dan pompa air secara otomatis. Serta mengirimkan notifikasi kepada pengguna secara otomatis juga jika suhu dan level air tidak optimal. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian yang telah dilakukan bahwa sistem yang dihasilkan mampu menghentikan kerja motor listrik secara otomatis jika suhu motor listrik terlalu panas (>65oC). Sistem juga mampu mengontrol kincir air untuk mempertahankan suhu air di antara 29oC - 32oC dan mengontrol pompa air untuk mempertahankan level air di antara 80cm – 90cm secara otomatis. Sistem yang dihasilkan telah mampu memproteksi motor listrik secara otomatis dari panas berlebih. Selain itu, sistem juga mampu mengontrol kerja kincir dan pompa air agar bekerja lebih efisien.
