Analysing Greenhouse Gas Emission Trends of Indian Companies Through Their Disclosures
Authors: Jain Manvi , Sinha Bhaskar 
Published: June 2024

With the increasing trend of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions worldwide and the subsequent evolution of new national and international commitments related to climate change, corporates have started to limit and disclose their emissions. This paper analyses the comprehensiveness of disclosures on Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions of the top 100 Indian companies by market capitalisation and their trend compared to the previous reporting year through their publicly available reports/ websites. The analysis revealed that 66 of these companies reported their scope 1 & 2 emissions, whereas 48 reported on all three scopes, with 35 companies making emission reduction targets voluntarily. This shows that Indian companies are increasingly becoming self-aware of their responsibilities. The analysis of emission targets showed that companies with carbon reduction targets scored better in disclosures than those without foreseeable targets, suggesting that these targets motivate corporates to calculate emissions and report more transparently. Additionally, a rating score of 1 to 5 was assigned to all the National Stock Exchange Fifty (NIFTY) 100 companies to assess their GHG emission disclosure performance, which could be important for setting the benchmark for different sectors/industries on emission reduction targets in India. Furthermore, the study discusses the significance of such analysis in anticipation of India’s regulation on domestic and voluntary carbon markets.

Revealing the Invisible: Imaging Through Non-radiating Subspace
Authors: Siampour Hamidreza , Nezhad Abolghasem Zeidaabadi 
Published: June 2024

This paper presents a novel modification to the subspace optimization method (SOM) for solving inverse scattering problems in diverse background media. By incorporating sequential quadratic programming (SQP), a fast and accurate optimization technique, our approach aims to improve the reconstruction of dielectric objects buried in complex environments. We investigate the influence of non-radiating (NR) subspace reconstruction on imaging quality by analyzing the induced current-exterior field mapping operator's singular values. The scattering formulation of direct problems is performed through numerical methods such as coupled dipole method, finite elements-boundary integral, and electric field integral equations. Radiating and NR objective functions are defined and minimized using SQP to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Numerical experiments demonstrate significant enhancements in imaging quality, robustness, and computational efficiency compared to existing techniques. This modified SOM offers a promising avenue for precise and reliable reconstruction of electromagnetic scattering objects, with potential applications in various fields including medical imaging, remote sensing, and non-destructive evaluation.

Unraveling the Shared Genetic Elements Among COVID-19 and Epilepsy: A Computational and Bioinformatics Analysis
Authors: Nagendran Pavithra , Murugesan Gowtham , Natarajan Jeyakumar 
Published: June 2024

The outbreak of COVID-19 linked to the SARS-CoV-2 virus has raised worries about its potential to worsen pre-existing health issues such as autoimmune conditions. One common autoimmune condition seen across all individuals is epilepsy. Our detailed computational study examined the complex connection between COVID-19 and epilepsy, with a focus on their possible impact on neurodegenerative disorders. Leveraging transcriptome analysis, we aimed to interpret shared pathways and molecular biomarkers between COVID-19 and epilepsy using RNA-seq datasets. Cutting-edge bioinformatics tools facilitated Network, Enrichment, and route analysis, along with the identification of pivotal gene signatures, notably through comprehensive exploration of machine learning methods and protein-protein interactions. This work identified 1040 common differentially expressed genes (DEGs), forming the basis for unraveling shared pathways and potential drug targets. By employing statistical methods and diverse network analyses, we meticulously identified genetic elements shared between COVID-19 and epilepsy. The analysis reveals that 10 key genes, including CATIP, CDC25C, GPR132, NTS, PDE8B, PLK1, SLC12A9, SPC25, TUBAIA, and TYMS, are crucial in bridging transcriptomic alterations across various scenarios. A subset of these genes exhibited existence within distinct regulatory networks, signifying their significant role in the shared disease mechanisms of COVID-19 and epilepsy. Notably, CDC25C, PLK1, and TYMS emerged as prominent genes within the COVID-19 and epilepsy networks, strongly suggesting their vital roles in connecting regulatory mechanisms across these conditions. Further validation through molecular docking studies will confirm the significance of CDC25C, PLK1, and TYMS, potentially shedding light on new opportunities for targeted therapeutic interventions aimed at reducing the risk of seizures in individuals affected by COVID-19 and epilepsy.

On the relationship between the mesospheric sodium layer and the meteoric input function
Authors: Li Yanlin , Huang Tai-Yin , Urbina Julio , Vargas Fabio , Feng Wuhu 
Published: June 2024

Abstract. This study examines the relationship between the concentration of atmospheric sodium and its meteoric input function (MIF). We use the measurements from the Colorado State University (CSU) and the Andes Lidar Observatory (ALO) lidar instruments with a new numerical model that includes sodium chemistry in the mesosphere and lower-thermosphere (MLT) region. The model is based on the continuity equation to treat all sodium-bearing species and runs at a high temporal resolution. The model simulation employs data assimilation to compare the MIF inferred from the meteor radiant distribution and the MIF derived from the new sodium chemistry model. The simulation captures the seasonal variability in the sodium number density compared with lidar observations over the CSU site. However, there were discrepancies for the ALO site, which is close to the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) region, indicating that it is challenging for the model to capture the observed sodium over the ALO. The CSU site had significantly more lidar observations (27 930 h) than the ALO site (1872 h). The simulation revealed that the uptake of the sodium species on meteoric smoke particles was a critical factor in determining the sodium concentration in the MLT, with the sodium removal rate by uptake found to be approximately 3 times that of the NaHCO3 dimerization. Overall, the study's findings provide valuable information on the correlation between the MIF and the sodium concentration in the MLT region, contributing to a better understanding of the complex dynamics of this region. This knowledge can inform future research and guide the development of more accurate models to enhance our comprehension of the MLT region's behavior.

Authors: Le Thi Thanh 
Published: June 2024

On the rice field ecosystem in Cao Lanh district, Dong Thap province, there are 6 species of amphibians distributed: Duttaphrynus melanostictus, Kaloula pulchra and Hylarana guentheri have the most diversity of feed ingredients; Fejervarya limnocharis, Hoplobatrachus rugulosus and Ichthyophis bannanicus have less food diversity; Scolopendomorpha and Polydesmoidea are the least, accounting for 1,2%. Amphibians have the most food frequency in Coleoptera, followed by Hymenoptera and Orthoptera. Amphibians are usually terrestrial, eating mainly insects. The frequency of pests was lowest in the period from sowing seeds until the rice had 3 leaves germinated, the lowest in the period of yellow rice until after harvest, the highest at the stage of rice with milk in the grain to the stage of green - ripened rice. The frequency of encounters of Hoplobatrachus rugulosus and Fejervarya limnocharis is lowest at the stage of seeding until rice germination, decrease gradually in the period of ripe rice until after harvest, stage 4 (Rice with milk in the grain until green ripening) has the highest frequency. In stage 1, there is the lowest frequency of encountering amphibians and pests, frequency increases gradually to stage 2 and peaks at stage 4, decreasing at stage 5.

Changes in land use/land cover (LULC) have a significant impact on the changes in ecosystem service values. This study aims to assess the impacts of LULC changes on provisioning ecosystem services (pES) in the Long Xuyen Quadrangle region (LXQ) from 2000 to 2021. Using Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 8 OLI imagery, this study analyzes the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) time series using MODIS imagery to monitor and evaluate the impacts of LULC changes in the LXQ region. Additionally, interviews with farmers were conducted to estimate the ecosystem service values of different rice cultivation models. The research results in the creation of LULC maps for the LXQ in 2000 and 2021, with relatively high reliability, including overall accuracy (OA) of 83.18% (K = 0.772) and 94.26% (K = 0.9284), respectively. The main LULC change observed in the LXQ region from 2000 to 2021 is the conversion from wetlands to double-cropped rice and triple-cropped rice systems. The study identified an area of 54,667.722 ha (26.24%) where wetlands were converted to double-cropped rice, and an area of 36,779.633 ha (17.65%) where wetlands were converted to triple-cropped rice. Furthermore, the estimated ecosystem service values after the conversion from wetlands to triple-cropped rice were approximately 122,504,931 VND/ha/year, and for double-cropped rice, it was approximately 87,772,604.88 VND/ha/year. The research findings indicate that wetland agriculturalization, including double-cropped rice and triple-cropped rice, has affected the ecosystem service provision in the LXQ region. These research results provide significant considerations for future comprehensive valuation of ecosystem service values in the LXQ, Vietnamese MD.

Due to its widespread distribution, the problem of pollen allergy does not lose its relevance for practical healthcare: the variety of clinical forms, the possibility of polyvalent sensitization and pathogenetic treatment in the form of allergen-specific immunotherapy determine the importance of studying its clinical and epidemiological features.Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 119 discharge summaries of children with diagnoses of “Allergic rhinoconjunctivitis”, “Bronchial asthma”, “Atopic dermatitis”, occurring with clinically significant pollen sensitization, was carried out in the period 2015–2022. The prevalence, clinical features, prevailing symptoms and atopic comorbidity of patients with pollen allergy living in the Nizhny Novgorod region were assessed.Results. Pollen allergy is characterized by a variety of clinical manifestations, which are mainly represented by allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, bronchial asthma, and oral allergic syndrome. In the study, in the majority of patients, polyvalent sensitization was combined with a pronounced variety of products that provoke oral allergic syndrome. Manifestations of pollen allergies requiring seeking medical help are equally distributed among residents of Nizhny Novgorod and the region’s villages.Conclusions. Clinical and epidemiological features of the course of pollen allergy are of great interest to the practicing physician. The variety of manifestations of pollen allergies determines the need for a clinically effective treatment method, which today is ASIT. One of the needs of modern healthcare is to increase the awareness of primary care physicians about atopic diseases, incl. pollen allergy, with the aim of timely referral of patients to a specialist. Currently, allergen-specific immunotherapy is the most effective method of treating manifestations of pollen allergies.

Exploring the implementation of whole school emotionally based school non-attendance (EBSN) guidance in a secondary school
Authors: Ward Sarah , Kelly Catherine 
Published: June 2024

Aim:This research aims to explore the implementation of whole school guidance for Emotionally Based School Non-Attendance (EBSN).Method/Rationale:School attendance is an area of increasing concern and many local authorities have produced guidance to support schools and others in their practice. How such guidance is implemented is likely to have a key influence on improving outcomes however, available implementation frameworks tend to focus on time-limited, specific universal or group programmes with little guidance on the implementation of more complex multi-component whole school approaches. Action research within a mainstream secondary school in the Northwest of England was used to explore the implementation of EBSN guidance through the following research question: What do school staff perceive as key factors (facilitators and barriers) influencing implementation of EBSN guidance in their school context?Findings:Key factors identified as influencing implementation in the school context were leadership and compatibility of practice and expectations; staff knowledge, perceptions and attitudes; and resources. These themes require communication, cohesion and consistency, and they sit within the current context and its internal and external systems, including parents and the community.Limitations:Initial stages of implementation are explored but timescales did not allow for exploration of how implementation of the guidance would be sustained.Conclusions:Key reflections are explored, and findings are used to further delineate a recently developed framework relating to facilitators and barriers to implementing whole school approaches. Implications for practice and future research are outlined.
Parent experiences of school distress or school refusal in their autistic child
Authors: Smart Raechel , Adams Dawn , Simpson Kate 
Published: June 2024

Aims:School distress or school refusal is the most common reason autistic children miss school. Qualitative investigation of school distress and school refusal in autistic children is limited in the literature. This study aimed to identify school refusal behaviours in autistic children and explore parent experiences supporting their children.Method:Fifteen parents of school-aged autistic children completed semi-structured interviews. Directed content analysis was used to identify school refusal behaviours and inductive content analysis to explore impact on family systems.Findings:Parents reported a range of school refusal behaviours, many of which occurred before school or outside of school settings on days when their child attends school. This may mean many indicators of school refusal are missed by school attendance or behaviour data.Limitations:All participants were Australian and responded to an advertisement about autism and school refusal so had previously identified school refusal behaviours in their child.Conclusion:School refusal impacts upon the child, their attendance and their outcomes, but also upon family systems and supports. Implications of these findings for supporting autistic children, schools, and families are discussed.
Challenges and Interventions of Physical Education Teachers in Assessing Students' Learning in the Online Modality
Authors: C. Balay-as Claire Irish , O. Bandoc Maureen Jane 
Published: June 2024

Despite the emergence of several studies on online learning in Physical Education (PE) research, little has been mentioned about the assessment of learning outcomes in PE. This qualitative research aimed to understand the challenges and intervention strategies of PE teachers in assessing learning outcomes in the online modality. Nine elementary PE teachers from the laboratory elementary schools in Baguio City, Philippines participated in a semi-structured interview. The findings revealed that elementary PE teachers were faced with challenges in assessing PE learning online, but made interventions to these challenges. Three themes surfaced to describe the challenges: challenges in viewing students’ output, challenges in trusting, and challenges in monitoring students. The two themes described the interventions as differentiating students’ requirements and collaborating with parents. In assessing the PE learning outcomes online, the participants found it difficult; however, they realized that finding ways to overcome these difficulties is part of what teachers should do. The findings offer valuable insights that can inform and guide PE teachers in effectively assessing students' learning outcomes in the online learning modality.
