AbstractBackground and aimsCognitive control and reward-related abnormalities are centrally implicated in addiction. However, findings from longitudinal studies addressing neurocognitive predictors of addictive behaviors are mixed. Further, little work has been conducted predicting non-substance-related addictive behaviors. Our study aimed to assess predictors of substance and non-substance addictive behaviors in a community sample, systematically evaluating each neurocognitive function's independent influence on addictive behavior.MethodsAustralians (N = 294; 51.7% female; M[SD] age = 24.8[4.7] years) completed online neurocognitive tasks and surveys at baseline and 3-month follow-up. Self-report scales assessed problematic alcohol use, addictive eating (AE), problematic pornography use (PPU), and problematic internet use (PUI) at 3- and 6-month follow-ups. Linear regressions with bootstrapping assessed neurocognitive predictors for each addictive behavior across a 6-month period.ResultsNeurocognition at baseline did not predict AE or PUI severity at 6-month follow-up. Less delay discounting at baseline predicted higher PPU at 6-month follow-up (β = −0.16, p = 0.005). Poorer performance monitoring at baseline predicted higher AE at 3-month follow-up (β = −0.16, p = 0.004), and more reward-related attentional capture at 3-months predicted higher AE at 6-month follow-up (β = 0.14, p = 0.033). Less reward-related attentional capture (β = −0.14, p = 0.003) and less risk-taking under ambiguity (β = −0.11, p = 0.029) at baseline predicted higher PUI at 3-month follow-up. All findings were of small effect size. None of the neurocognitive variables predicted problematic alcohol use.Discussion and conclusionsWe were unable to identify a core set of specific neurocognitive functions that reliably predict multiple addictive behavior types. However, our findings indicate both cognitive control and reward-related functions predict non-substance addictive behaviors in different ways. Findings suggest that there may be partially distinct neurocognitive mechanisms contributing to addiction depending on the specific addictive behavior.

Seaweed is a rich source of phycocolloids, which include agar, alginate, and carrageenan. Low molecular weight polysaccharides, namely oligomers or oligosaccharides, can be produced from seaweed polysaccharides through enzymatic degradation. Most of these enzymes are produced by microorganisms closely associated with seaweed. This study aimed to isolate and select polysaccharidases-producing (SPases) bacteria associated with wild seaweed from the sea around Ambon Island, an area famous for its high marine biodiversity index. A total of 11 types of marine algae samples could be collected, and as many as 92 bacterial isolates could be cultured from all these algae samples. Screening used a clear zone method on a solid medium containing substrates agar, alginate, or carrageenan and followed by Lugol’s iodine staining solution showed that a total of 74 of the 92 bacterial isolates obtained were SPases-producing with the composition: agarase-producing (28 isolates), and alginate lyase-producing (26 isolates), and carrageenaseproducing (20 isolates). The 16S rRNA identification results showed that the 74 bacterial isolates were representative of 13 species and belong to 2 classes, namely Gammaproteobacteria and Bacillus. The bacterial isolates in the Gammaproteobacteria class obtained consisted of three genera: Pseudoalteromonas (32 isolates), Cobetia (18 isolates), and Microbulbifer (15 isolates). Bacterial isolates in the Bacillus class obtained only contain a genus consisting of 8 isolates. In conclusion, the sea around Ambon Island is a potential source of polysaccharidases-producing algal symbiont bacteria.
Estimating the Maximum Magnitude of Induced Earthquakes in the Groningen Gas Field, the Netherlands
Authors: Bommer Julian J. , van Elk Jan , Zoback Mark D. 
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT
Gas production in the Groningen field in the northern Netherlands began in 1963. Since 1991, many production-induced earthquakes have occurred—the largest reaching magnitude M 3.5 in 2012. In October 2023, the Dutch government closed the field—a decision that was justified by the potential threat of larger earthquakes occurring with continued gas extraction. This outcome highlights how the estimation of maximum magnitude for induced earthquakes can have important implications for risk perception by regulators and the public. Thus, the estimation of maximum magnitude for induced earthquakes that are not physically realizable can lead to unwarranted conservatism. Over almost three decades, considerable effort has been invested by several researchers to estimate the maximum magnitude of induced earthquakes in Groningen. These efforts culminated in international workshops focusing exclusively on this question in 2016 and 2022. The purpose of these workshops was to inform the decision-making of an expert panel charged with formulating a logic tree for the maximum magnitude of Groningen earthquakes. We argue that the evaluation of the final distribution of maximum magnitudes is overly conservative in terms of the largest events induced in the reservoir and, most importantly, the likelihood of triggering even larger tectonic earthquakes outside the gas-producing reservoir. Given the serious and far-reaching consequences of maximum magnitude estimates, we reconsider the approach of these assessments to draw lessons that may be critical for future energy-related projects associated with induced seismicity.

Abstract
The present study focused on the molecular characterization and toxicity analysis of the Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) isolate T121 against Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata (F.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). Colonies of T121 growing on solid media were circular, with creamy white hues and raised centers. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the presence of cuboidal and spherical crystals in liquid media. Polymerase chain reaction screening confirmed the presence of binary toxin vip1 and vip2 in addition to cry3Aa gene. Sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed four prominent bands at 74, 65, 48, and 31 kDa. In toxicity assays, T121 exhibited a median lethal concentration of 4.675 µg/ml against H. vigintioctopunctata. These findings demonstrate that the Bt isolate T121 offers promising prospects for development as a component of a sustainable pest management strategy against H. vigintioctopunctata and perhaps other coleopteran pests.

Nigeria’s economic growth posed to be a serious concern to policymakers, economics and scholars due to the challenges of economic characteristics, consequences and contradictions. Despite the effort made by the Central Bank of Nigeria in implementing several policies such as tightening of monetary policy rate and heavy borrowing for infrastructural development to stimulate economic growth in the past few years. The economic growth in Nigeria between 1999-2007 was 6.95 percent, between 2008-2010, it was stood 7.98 percent and it was 4.80 percent between 2011-2015 and from 2016 till day the economic growth stood at 0.81 percent. In this study, we estimate parameters to determine Nigerian economic growth in the presence of multicollinearity and outliers. We employed the FMKL-GLD quantile model to quarterly data from 1986 to 2021 obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria. Exploratory data analysis (EDA) and diagnostic test carried out ascertained the presence of multicollinearity and outlier. However, it was discovered that in model that INDT, RINR, REXR and OPEN contributed positively to the economic growth to the turn of 0.15%, 0.24%, 0.06% and 1.76% while, it was revealed that EXDT contributed negatively to the economic growth in Nigeria thus, reduced economic growth by 0.02% and as such showed the tendency and potential macroeconomic variables under study as a veritable determinant of economic growth. The location, scale and space parameters , , , and for the fitted FMKL-GLD model were -0.0253, 34.1488 -0.3303, and -0.5758. Therefore, it can be concluded based on the location, scale and space parameters from FMKL-FGLD and GLD Q,Q plots as well as the estimated parameter of RGDP, FMKL-FGLD was the best model that described the economic situation in Nigeria by showing that economy was growing in retrogressive direction and the need for drastic effort and strong willed to curtail the situation. To achieve this, the adoption of economic openness to the development and the growth of economy in Nigeria is a veritable policy direction that must be strictly followed.

Profiles of Patients with Low Back Pain Caused by Disc Herniation in the Neurology Outpatient Clinic of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya during the Period of 2021
Authors: Agindra Bani , Hidayati Hanik Badriyah , Widhiyanto Lukas , Herawati Lilik 
Published: August 2024

Highlight:

The degenerative process plays a dual role, both protecting from and causing disc herniation.
Men have a quicker degeneration rate at a younger age, while women have a quicker rate at an older age.
Occupational factors such as physical workload, repetition, bending, and sitting periods all contribute to disc herniation.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) refers to a sensation of pain or discomfort occurring in the region between the lowest costal and gluteal crease, with or without leg pain. Damage to the annulus fibrosus causes disc herniation, allowing the nucleus pulposus to herniate into the spinal canal. In less than 5% of cases, LBP is caused by disc herniation. Objective: This study examined the profiles of individuals with herniated LBP discs and related factors at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya. Methods: The study was conducted at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya using secondary data from medical records, which was then analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Fifty-eight LBP patients with herniated discs were enrolled in this study. The patient sample ranged from 23 to 74 years old, with a mean of 47,98±14,92. The majority of patients (29.3%) were 31–40 years old. Male and female prevalence rates were the same. Employees have the highest percentage of any occupation group, with 56.9%. Conclusion: Some of the findings clarify previous studies. Age, gender, and occupation were all linked to the occurrence of either LBP or disc herniation. However, our data cannot indicate whether or not these factors contribute to the occurrence of LBP and disc herniation. Therefore, more research is required to understand these factors and their relation to disc herniation and LBP.

Background: Indonesia is a tropical country with high humidity and temperatures, making dermatophytosis a persistent health issue. Dermatophytoses are superficial mycoses caused by dermatophytes affecting the skin, hair, and nails. Also known as tinea infections. Purpose: To determine the incidence of dermatophytosis and types of dermatophytosis among boarding school students in Sei-Kijang, Pelalawan, Riau Province. It was conducted from August 2023 until October 2023. Methods: This research is a simple descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The aim of the study was to detect dermatophytes in the skin lesions. Dermatophytosis examination was carried out by microscopic examination of skin scrapings with 10-20% potassium hydroxide (KOH) and fungal culture using Sabouraud’s dextrose agar and then examined with a light microscope (lactophenol cotton blue staining). Result: In this study, there were 339 research subjects with 51% male students and 49% female students with an average age of 14.3 years. This study found that the incidence of dermatophytosis was 4.1%, with male students in the 10 to 14-year-old age group having a higher infection rate (71%) than female students. The incidence of tinea corporis was 64.3%, followed by tinea cruris, tinea pedis, and tinea faciei, depending on the type of dermatophytosis. Tinea capitis and tinea unguium were not found. Conclusions: This study demonstrates a high incidence of dermatophytosis, tinea corporis being the predominant type among boarding school students in Bandar Sei-Kijang.
Questioning Sexual Diversity in Andre Aciman’s Call Me by Your Name and Brent Hartinger’s Geography Club
Authors: Pramesti Tri , Litaay Adeline Grace Mariana 
Published: August 2024

This paper discusses sexual diversity exposed in Andre Aciman’s Call Me by Your Name and Brent Hartinger’s Geography Club. Both novels tell stories about sexual orientation and its impact on the daily lives of the main characters, who are high school students. In Call Me by Your Name, Aciman depicted Elio as a teenager who admires people of the same sex, and in Geography Club, Russell Middle Brook disguises his sexual orientation because he is gay. Using Sociology of Literature as an approach, more specifically queer theory as a means of carrying out queer criticism, this research aims to discuss sexual diversity exposed in these two fictions. It also talks about the heteronormative pressures experienced by the two figures above during their high school years as students who had different sexual orientations. The research results show that although schools and society always emphasize diversity, sexual diversity is not yet accepted. The heteronormative pressure that the experience of Elio and Russel comes from their close environments, such as parents, friends, and school. Elio and Russel need to keep their true sexual identities because showing sexual diversity for high school students is taboo. They also have to keep their sexual orientation to safeguard their lives from rejection and bullying. Selecting the two novels as the data sources helps to understand each text individually and acknowledge how different authors approach similar themes.

Abstract

Sericulture is the rearing of silkworms for the production of raw silk. Over the past 50 years, the use of synthetic pesticides for crop protection has rapidly expanded around the world. The need for innovative low-risk control methods and new chemical classes of pesticides, like nano-pesticides has increased as a result of the increasing concern for the environment and health. The rapid development of nano-materials in various fields of science results in the need of understanding their toxicity on non-target organisms. In the present study, Chitosan, Silver and Zinc oxide nanoparticles at seven different concentrations were used on Eri silkworm (Samia cynthia ricini, Boisduval) (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae). In the larval and pupal stages of the length, girth and cocoon weight decreased with increased concentrations and corrected larval mortality increased with increased concentrations of the nanoparticles. At 500 ppm deformities like absence of silken cocoon in the pupae, pupal death and deformed wings in the adults were observed. The midgut tissues of the dead larvae treated at 500 ppm nanoparticles observed under Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) exhibited alterations in the epithelial layer, basement membrane and muscle layer. In all the three nanoparticles absence of microvilli, empty cell contents and disruption of mitochondria was observed.

Abstract

Extractive fisheries and marine aquaculture share space and target species. Several regional-scale examples exist of escapees entering wild fisheries landings, yet no study has assessed the influence of aquaculture on landings at an ecosystem scale. We examined the effects of farmed fish escapes on fisheries using FAO data and published escape rates for Gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) and European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax). Seabream landings were significantly correlated with the estimated biomass of escaped seabream entering the wild. There was a similar pattern for seabass until 2005, but the overall relationship between landings and escapes was not significant due to the dramatic drop in catches in recent years. We argue that seabass escapees’ relatively high mortality, lower capturability, and minor ‘leaking’ from farms may obscure their influence on landings. Significant positive fisheries regime shifts were detected for both species, matching the onset of aquaculture in the Mediterranean and the period when escapees from aquaculture surpassed landings. Our results suggest that fish escapes of these two iconic species may mask wild stock overexploitation, confound stock assessments, alter genetic diversity, increase the risk of spreading pathogens and parasites, and compete with wild conspecifics.

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is leading to an increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Our study developed a model using retinal image data from fundus photographs taken during comprehensive health check-ups to classify metabolic syndrome. The model achieved an AUC of 0.77523 (95% CI: 0.77188 - 0.77858) using retinal images, and an AUC of 0.87249 (95% CI: 0.86686 - 0.87812) when combining retinal images with basic clinical features. Furthermore, we propose a method to improve the interpretability of the relationship between retinal image features and metabolic syndrome by visualizing metabolic syndrome-related areas in retinal images. The results highlight the potential of retinal images in classifying metabolic syndrome.
