IntroductionThis research aims to determine the effects of an integrative warm-up method on the range of motion in joints of the lower extremities, the strength of the stabilizer trunk muscles, and the quality of the basic movement patterns in older adolescents.MethodsThe study sample consisted of 88 male students (age 20.1 ± 0.5). They were randomly divided into four groups: one control group (CG) (n = 17; 180.8 ± 7.9 cm; 82.3 ± 8.3 kg) and three experimental groups (EG): EG1 (n = 23; 180.9 ± 7.0 cm; 78.5 ± 9.5 kg), EG2 (n = 31; 182.2 cm ± 7.3 cm; 79.5 ± 11.5 kg), and EG3 (n = 17; 183.3 ± 4.9 cm; 77.5 ± 11.8 kg). The participants were subjected to a 6-week experimental treatment: EG1 once, EG2 twice, and EG3 three times a week. The experimental treatment consisted of four sub-phases representing the integrative warm-up Method: 1) Inhibition (self-myofascial release using a foam roller); 2) Lengthening (Static stretching in a maximum range of motion position); 3) Activation (Positional isometrics muscle activation of the trunk and gluteus); 4) Integration (Integrated all the previous phases into one complex movement pattern). Based on the covariance analysis (ANCOVA), statistically significant treatment effects were observed and positive changes were determined in all experimental groups.ResultsThe differences between groups were observed in the following variables: Overhead Squat Assessment (p = 0.000;ηp2=0.318), range of motion of left hip flexion (p = 0.000;ηp2=0.371), range of motion of right hip flexion (p = 0.000;ηp2=0.051) and range of motion of right hip extension (p = 0.051;ηp2=0.088), Double Leg Lowering Test (F = 2.411;p = 0.014;ηp2=0.014) and range of combined motion (plantar and dorsiflexion) of left ankle joint (p = 0.000;ηp2=0.299). There was no significant difference in the Plank Test (F = 1.007;p = 1.007;ηp2=0.035), range of combined motion (plantar and dorsiflexion) of right ankle joint (p = 0.088;ηp2=0.170) and range of motion of left hip extension (p = 0.158;ηp2=0.060). The participants of CG statistically significantly differed from EG1, EG2, and EG3 in the squat performance after the applied treatment.DiscussionThe effect of the treatment was the occurrence of a transformational processes in almost all measured variables. It can be concluded that the integrative method is effective and applicable in practice for both young adults and recreational athletes.

Published: March 2024

IntroductionA history of concussion is recognized as a risk factor for musculoskeletal injury, which is likely associated with physiological effects that warrant better understanding. This study aimed to assess the potential of measurements obtained from an immersive virtual reality (VR) test to identify a subtle perceptual–motor impairment that may be prospectively associated with the occurrence of a core or lower extremity sprain or strain.MethodsA cohort of 68 high school athletes (41 female soccer players and 27 male football players) provided survey responses and completed an immersive VR test several days prior to the initiation of preseason practice sessions. Measurements of eye, neck, arm, and whole-body displacements were obtained during 40 successive lunging/reaching responses to visual stimuli moving horizontally across the VR headset display. Injury occurrences were electronically documented from the initial preseason practice session to the final game of the season.ResultsA statistically significant and intrinsically credible two-factor prediction model for core or lower extremity injury occurrence included an interaction between female sex and a self-reported history of two or more concussions, along with slow response time (RT) for arm reach (OR = 4.67; 95% CI, 1.51–14.43). Follow-up analyses identified sex-specific cut points for arm reach RT associated with elevated injury risk, which were ≥1.385 s for females and ≥1.257 s for males.DiscussionHigh school female soccer players who have sustained more than one concussion appear to be highly vulnerable to core or lower extremity sprain or strain, with the risk of injury compounded by a slow arm reach RT. Male football players as a group demonstrated significantly faster arm reach RT than that of female soccer players, but slow perceptual–motor RT for arm reach was also identified as a potentially important injury risk factor for male players. Immersive VR appears to provide precise measurements of behavioral performance characteristics that depend on brain processing efficiency. Given that the speed, accuracy, and consistency of perceptual–motor responses may be modifiable, future research should explore the potential benefits of VR training for reducing the risk of sport-related injuries.

Objective:This article aims to conduct a scoping review of what constitutes effective relational interactions between caregivers (CGs) and older persons (OPs) across formal residential care settings.Methods:A scoping review of publications between January 2000 and December 2021 yielded 10,929 articles, and after removing duplicates and applying exclusion criteria, 36 articles were analysed.Results:Articles were scrutinised for interactions involving both CGs and OPs, using a thematic framework analysis to identify effective relational constructs. Four themes emerged: 1) Diverse perspectives on the same context: for OPs it is home, and for CGs, workplace. 2) CGs move for a one-up position and OPs submit to a one-down, or as friends. 3) Relational qualities have been mostly associated with CGs, confirming care as a unidirectional action 4). Relationships between CGs and OPs result either in effective or ineffective care outcomes.Conclusion:The dual meanings attached to the same context limit the authentic interactions between CGs and OPs. We propose a relational caregiving approach by considering the interactions of both CGs and OPs, changing the relational definition, and demonstrating effective relational qualities.

Downy mildew is a severe disease that leads to significant losses in grape yields worldwide. It is caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola. The study of the distribution of this agent and the search for endophytic organisms that inhibit the growth of P. viticola are essential objectives to facilitate the transition to sustainable and high-yield agriculture, while respecting the environment. In this study, high-throughput sequencing of the ITS (ITS1f/ITS2 region) and 16S (V4 region) amplicons was employed to analyze 80 samples of leaves and stems from different grapevine species and cultivars grown in the Russian Far East (Vitis amurensis Rupr., Vitis coignetiae Pulliat, and several grapevine cultivars). The analysis revealed the presence of P. viticola in 53.75% of the grape samples. The pathogen P. viticola was not detected in V. amurensis samples collected near Vladivostok and Russky Island. Among the P. viticola-affected samples, only two (out of the eighty analyzed grape samples) from the Makarevich vineyard in Primorsky Krai exhibited disease symptoms, while the majority appeared visually healthy. We also found six distinct P. viticola ASVs in our metagenomic data. Based on phylogenetic analysis, we hypothesize that the P. viticola population in the Russian Far East may have originated from the invasive P. viticola clade aestivalis, which has spread around the world from North America. To identify putative microbial antagonists of P. viticola, a differential analysis of high-throughput sequencing data was conducted using the DESeq2 method to compare healthy and P. viticola-affected samples. The in silico analysis revealed an increased representation of certain taxa in healthy samples compared to P. viticola-affected ones: fungi—Kabatina sp., Aureobasidium sp., and Vishniacozyma sp.; bacteria—Hymenobacter spp., Sphingomonas spp., Massilia spp., Methylobacterium-Methylorubrum spp., and Chryseobacterium spp. This in-silico-obtained information on the potential microbial antagonists of P. viticola serves as a theoretical basis for the development of biocontrol agents for grapevine downy mildew.

Citizen science reinforces the development of emergent tools for the surveillance, monitoring, and early detection of biological invasions, enhancing biosecurity resilience. The contribution of farmers and farm citizens is vital, as volunteers can strengthen the effectiveness and efficiency of environmental observations, improve surveillance efforts, and aid in delimiting areas affected by plant-spread diseases and pests. This study presents a robust, user-friendly, and cost-effective smart module for citizen science that incorporates a cutting-edge developed hyperspectral imaging (HI) module, integrated in a single, energy-independent device and paired with a smartphone. The proposed module can empower farmers, farming communities, and citizens to easily capture and transmit data on crop conditions, plant disease symptoms (biotic and abiotic), and pest attacks. The developed HI-based module is interconnected with a smart embedded system (SES), which allows for the capture of hyperspectral images. Simultaneously, it enables multimodal analysis using the integrated environmental sensors on the module. These data are processed at the edge using lightweight Deep Learning algorithms for the detection and identification of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), the most important invaded alien and devastating pest of tomato. The innovative Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based module offers open interfaces to passive surveillance platforms, Decision Support Systems (DSSs), and early warning surveillance systems, establishing a seamless environment where innovation and utility converge to enhance crop health and productivity and biodiversity protection.

Published: March 2024

Alternaria leaf blight has recently been described as an emerging fungal disease of apple trees which is causing the significant damage in the apple-growing areas of Tianshui and Jingning, Gansu, China. In the present study, the pathogen species involved in apple leaf blight and its biological characteristics were identified, and the inhibitory activity of different botanical fungicides against the pathogen was evaluated in vitro. Four strains were isolated from the symptomatic areas of necrotic apple leaves, and initially healthy leaves showed similar symptoms to those observed in orchards after inoculation with the ABL2 isolate. The ABL2 isolate was identified as Alternaria tenuissima based on the morphological characteristics of its colonies, conidiophores, and conidia, and this was also confirmed by multi-gene sequence (ITS, OPA10-2, Alta-1, and endoPG) analysis and phylogenic analysis. The optimum temperature, pH, carbon source, and nitrogen source for the growth of A. tenuissima mycelia were 28 °C, 6–7, soluble starch, and soy flour, respectively. In addition, the botanical fungicide eugenol exhibited the highest inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth and conidia germination of A. tenuissima, and the median effective concentration (EC50) values were 0.826 and 0.755 μg/mL, respectively. The protective and curative efficacy of eugenol were 86.85% and 76.94% after inoculation in detached apple leaves at a concentration of 4 μg/mL. Our research provides new insights into the control of apple leaf blight disease by applying botanical fungicides.

The distribution law of the ground stress field is of great significance in guiding the design of coal mine roadway alignment, determining the parameters of roadway support, and preventing and controlling the impact of ground pressure in coal mines. A geostress inversion method combining Rhino surface modeling and FLAC3D 6.0 numerical simulation software is proposed. Based on the geological data of the coal mine and the results of on-site measurements, a three-dimensional geological model of Yingcheng Coal Mine is established for the geostress inversion, and the distribution law of the geostress field in Yingcheng Coal Mine is obtained. Research shows the following: (1) The horizontal maximum principal stress values of the Yingcheng Mine are between 33.9 and 35.3 MPa, the horizontal minimum principal stress values are between 23.6 and 25.4 MPa, and the direction of the horizontal maximum principal stress is roughly in the southwest to west direction; (2) the three-way principal stress magnitude relationship is σH > σv > σh, indicating that the horizontal stress dominates in the study area, which belongs to the slip-type stress state; (3) The maximum principal stress of No. 3 coal seam is 33.1–34.8 MPa, the middle principal stress is 27.5–29.2 MPa, and the minimum principal stress is 17.3–22.9 MPa. Due to the influence of topography and burial depth, there is a phenomenon of stress concentration in some areas. By comparing the inversion values with the measured values, the accuracy of the geostress inversion is high, and the initial geostress inversion method based on Rhino surface modeling accurately inverts the geostress distribution pattern of the Yingcheng coal mine.

Relevance. Periodontal diseases are among the most prevalent conditions affecting the oral cavity, often leading to tooth loss. Comorbid conditions, especially type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), can significantly influence the health of periodontal tissues by altering microcirculatory dynamics.Materials and methods. This study aimed to evaluate periodontal tissue health in patients with chronic periodon titis, both with and without DM2 comorbidity. Periodontal microcirculation was examined using the Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) technique, specifically with a LAKK-M device (Russia). A total of 106 patients were recruited and categorized into four groups based on their DM2 status and the severity of chronic periodontitis.Results. The study revealed group-specific differences in periodontal microcirculation parameters, analyzed through nonlinear dynamics. Notably, patients with chronic periodontitis and comorbid DM2 exhibited the most significant alterations. A phase portrait analysis further delineated the microcirculation health disparities between groups.Conclusion. There were marked differences in microcirculation health among chronic periodontitis patients with and without DM2 comorbidity, as evidenced by significant changes in the nonlinear dynamics-based phase portraits.

The positive Arctic–methane (CH
4
) feedback forms when more CH
4
is released from the Arctic tundra to warm the climate, further stimulating the Arctic to emit CH
4
. This study utilized the CLM-Microbe model to project CH
4
emissions across five distinct Arctic tundra ecosystems on the Alaska North Slope, considering three Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios using climate data from three climate models from 2016 to 2100. Employing a hyper-resolution of 5 m × 5 m within 40,000 m
2
domains accounted for the Arctic tundra’s high spatial heterogeneity; three sites were near Utqiaġvik (US-Beo, US-Bes, and US-Brw), with one each in Atqasuk (US-Atq) and Ivotuk (US-Ivo). Simulated CH
4
emissions substantially increased by a factor of 5.3 to 7.5 under the SSP5–8.5 scenario compared to the SSP1–2.6 and SSP2–4.5 scenarios. The projected CH
4
emissions exhibited a stronger response to rising temperature under the SSP5–8.5 scenario than under the SSP1–2.6 and SSP2–4.5 scenarios, primarily due to strong temperature dependence and the enhanced precipitation-induced expansion of anoxic conditions that promoted methanogenesis. The CH
4
transport via ebullition and plant-mediated transport is projected to increase under all three SSP scenarios, and ebullition dominated CH
4
transport by 2100 across five sites. Projected CH
4
emissions varied in temperature sensitivity, with a Q
10
range of 2.7 to 60.9 under SSP1–2.6, 3.8 to 17.6 under SSP2–4.5, and 5.7 to 17.2 under SSP5–8.5. Compared with the other three sites, US-Atq and US-Ivo were estimated to have greater increases in CH
4
emissions due to warmer temperatures and higher precipitation. The fact that warmer sites and warmer climate scenarios had higher CH
4
emissions suggests an intensified positive Arctic–CH
4
feedback in the 21st century. Microbial physiology and substrate availability dominated the enhanced CH
4
production. The simulated intensified positive feedback underscores the urgent need for a more mechanistic understanding of CH
4
dynamics and the development of strategies to mitigate CH
4
across the Arctic.

Abstract
In our previous study, we analyzed the contrast of blood flow echo, and non-speckle regions were more frequently detected in the porcine blood with the high flow velocity. However, this contrast method is dependent on the degree of smoothing and threshold for outliers. This study developed a new U-Net model incorporating domain adaptation with both in silico and experimental data. This model segments blood flow echo into speckle and non-speckle regions. The performance of the developed U-Net model with several conditions of scatterer number density from 0.1 to 1.5 scatterers mm−3 and scatterer amplitude from 2 to 50 times against the speckle component was assessed using in silico data and experimental data with blood-mimicking fluid. The results indicated that the developed U-Net model with adversarial learning could stably detect non-speckle regions compared to the model without the adversarial learning and the contrast analysis method, in both in silico and experimental data.
Mahar and Dui' Menre' in Bugis Marriage, Sidenreng Rappang District
Authors: Basiruddin Basiruddin 
Published: March 2024

One of the efforts of Islamic law to elevate the dignity of women is to oblige a man who will become her husband to give her a dowry. Apart from being an obligatory right for him, dowry is a respect for the rights of a woman, dowry is not intended as a self-respect for a woman. Mahar and dui' menre' of the Bugis community in Sidenreng Rappang Regency according to the reality that from the preparation of the proposal until the prospective groom prepares the dowry and dui' menre' from 2018 to 2020 it is a habit that has been ingrained in society that dui' menre ' is one of the things that must be fulfilled in carrying out every marriage so dui' menre is very difficult to make changes.
The research method used is a qualitative method, by approaching existing theories, such as Theory of Maqasid Shari'ah, Theory of Al 'Urf, Social Law Change Theory and Youth Perception.
the conclusion obtained from this study is that Giving dui' menre' based on Islamic law is mubah or permissible because in general dui' menre' is only a tradition, but mahar and dui’ menre’ in a Bugis traditional marriage are an inseparable unit. Youth in Sidenreng Rappang Regency do not fully understand dowry and dui' menre'. Especially in determining the dowry and dui' menre' because almost all young people who get married only use a gold ring as a dowry while the dui' menre' is even higher in value than the dowry.
