Abstract
In order to understand the relationship between planet multiplicity, mass, and composition, we present newly measured masses of five planets in two planetary systems: Kepler-323 and Kepler-104. We used the HIRES instrument at the W.M. Keck Observatory to collect 79 new radial velocity (RV) measurements for Kepler-323, which we combined with 48 literature RVs from TNG/HARPS-N. We also conducted a reanalysis of the Kepler-104 system, using 44 previously published RV measurements. Kepler-323 b and c have masses of

C

= 0.004) and mass partitioning (

Q

= 0.03); whereas, the Kepler-323 planets have a mass partitioning similar to that of the Inner Solar System (

Q

= 0.28 and

Q

= 0.24, respectively). For both exoplanet systems, the uncertainty in the mass partitioning is affected equally by (1) individual mass errors of the planets and (2) the possible existence of undetected low-mass planets, meaning that both improved mass characterization and improved sensitivity to low-mass planets in these systems would better elucidate the mass distribution among the planets.

Abstract
BL Lacertae (BL Lac) objects are a subclass of blazar, distinguished by their featureless optical spectrum. The featureless spectrum presents a challenge in measuring the redshift of the BL Lacs. In this paper, we measure the redshift of BL Lacs using the photometric dropout technique. The space-based telescope Swift and the ground-based SARA telescopes are employed to provide magnitudes in the

Published: March 2024

The family Lycaenidae is a widely distributed and species-rich group with approximately 5300 described species. The rare genus Qinorapala Chou & Wang, with Q. qinlingana Chou & Wang as its type species was established as monotypic. In the original description, Q. qinlingana was described from a male holotype; the female remained unknown. To date, the genus is only recorded from the Qinling Mountains (Shaanxi and Gansu Provinces). In this study, two female specimens, from Shaanxi Province and western Sichuan Province (bordering Yunnan Province) are described and illustrated for the first time.
Female specimens of Q. qinlingana from Shaanxi and Sichuan are described for the first time. The species' distribution is updated and a distribution map is provided.

The genus Clavicornaltica Scherer 1974 consists of very small, soil-dwelling flea beetles in South, Southeast and East Asia. Due to their diminutive size and morphological similarities, very little is known about their ecology and taxonomical diversity. It is likely that further studies will reveal this genus to be much more speciose than the 30 species currently recognised.
A new species of Clavicornaltica from Brunei Darussalam is described, C. mataikanensis Otani et al., sp. nov. This is the second species of this genus recorded from Ulu Temburong National Park.

ObjectiveTo conduct an environmental scan and appraisal of online patient resources to support rheumatoid arthritis (RA) flare self-management.MethodsWe used the Google search engine (last search March 2023) using the terms "rheumatoid arthritis" and "flare management." Additional searches targeted major arthritis organizations, as well as regional, national, and international resources. Appraisal of the resources was conducted by 2 research team members and 1 patient partner to assess the understandability and actionability of the resource using the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT). Resources rating ≥ 60% in both domains by either the research team or the patient partner were further considered for content review. During content review, resources were excluded if they contained product advertisements, inaccurate information, or use of noninclusive language. If content review criteria were met, resources were designated as "highly recommended" if both patient partners and researchers' PEMAT ratings were ≥ 60%. If PEMAT ratings were divergent and had a rating ≥ 60% from only 1 group of reviewers, the resource was designated "acceptable."ResultsWe identified 44 resources; 12 were excluded as they did not pass the PEMAT assessment. Fourteen resources received ratings ≥ 60% on understandability and actionability from both researchers and patient partners; 10 of these were retained following content review as "highly recommended" flare resources. Of the 18 divergent PEMAT ratings, 8 resources were retained as "acceptable" following content review.ConclusionThere is high variability in the actionability and understandability of online RA flare materials; only 23% of resources were highly recommended by researchers and patient partners.

Published: March 2024

ObjectiveAlthough exercise therapy is safe, effective, and recommended as a nonpharmacological treatment for axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), there is a lack of guidelines regarding type and dosage. Insufficient knowledge about physical and physiological variables makes designing effective exercise programs challenging. Therefore, the goal of this study was to simultaneously assess trunk strength, spinal mobility, and the cardiorespiratory fitness of patients with axSpA.MethodsIn a cross-sectional study, 58 patients with axSpA (mean age 40.8 yrs, 50% male, mean symptom duration 10.3 yrs) performed maximal cervical and trunk mobility and isometric strength tests in all planes (using David Back Concept devices) and a maximal cardiopulmonary bicycle exercise test (n = 25). Mobility and strength data were compared to healthy reference data. Cut-off values for clinical cardiopulmonary exercise testing interpretation were used to judge normality. Patients were compared based on radiographic involvement and symptom duration.ResultsBoth strength (P≤ 0.02) and mobility (P≤ 0.001) were significantly lower for the patients with axSpA compared to the reference. Strength deficits were comparable between the radiographic and nonradiographic groups (P> 0.05, except trunk extension [P= 0.03]), whereas mobility showed higher deficits in the radiographic group (cervical extension [P= 0.02] and rotation [P= 0.01], and trunk extension [P= 0.03] and rotation [P= 0.03]), regardless of symptom duration. Similarly, symptom duration positively affected oxygen pulse (P= 0.03), relative anaerobic threshold (P= 0.02), and aerobic capacity (P= 0.02).ConclusionIn patients with axSpA, strength is more affected than mobility when compared to healthy controls. Likewise, mainly the metabolic component of aerobic capacity is impaired, affecting cardiopulmonary fitness. These findings indicate that future personalized exercise programs in patients with axSpA should incorporate exercises for cardiopulmonary fitness next to strength and mobility training.

Published: March 2024

ObjectiveTo determine the minimal important change (MIC) and meaningful change value (MCV) of the Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) and the effect size (ES) of DAPSA.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study, recruiting 106 patients who agreed to participate in the research from the Department of Dermatology, Xiangya Hospital, between November 1, 2019, and April 1, 2023. An anchor-based method using linear regression analyses was used to determine the MICs and MCVs of the DAPSA. The anchor question assessed whether the patient’s well-being had changed since their previous visit, employing a 5-point Likert scale that ranged from “much improved” to “much deteriorated.”ResultsThe overall MIC value was 8.4 (95% CI 0.01-16.75). The MIC improvement was 9.5 (95% CI 0.89-18.14) and MIC deterioration was 1.1 (95% CI −9.81 to 12.05). The overall MCV was 10.5 (95% CI 4.34-16.72). MCV improvement was 11.4 (95% CI 5.95-16.95) and MCV deterioration was 1.1 (95% CI −9.81 to 12.05). The ES was 0.6.ConclusionA change in DAPSA of 8.4 is indicative of an MIC, offering physicians an additional means to contextualize the patient’s perception of disease activity during treatment, and a change in DAPSA of 10.5 is likely to be regarded as MCV. These values can enhance the utility of DAPSA in psoriatic arthritis clinical trials.

O estudo visa investigar as inter-relações entre a formação, os saberes e as práticas educativas desenvolvidas pelos professores com a formação na área de Agronomia. A pesquisa foi realizada no período de 2019-2020 com professores que ministram disciplinas nos cursos de Bacharelado de Agronomia em um Instituto Federal de Educação (IF). Na pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, utilizou-se, como procedimento metodológico de recolha de dados, a narrativa autobiográfica com quatro professores. O saber e o fazer docente do professor Agrônomo do IF perpassam desde relatos de histórias de vida, formação até a opção de adentrar na docência e no decorrer de sua trajetória profissional. As narrativas evidenciam que os professores se preocupam com a boa qualidade do ensino que desenvolvem. Contudo, reconhecem que o tempo para a realização das atividades de ensino, pesquisa e extensão e a ausência de formação pedagógica são elementos que desafiam a materialidade de uma práxis docente que contemple as diversas formas de aprendizagens dos alunos. Os professores ainda apresentam dificuldades, no que diz respeito aos saberes e fazeres pedagógicos, pois a sua formação é voltada para a pesquisa e não para a docência. Os resultados sinalizam a necessidade de as instituições de ensino oportunizarem cursos de formação pedagógica de modo a aproximar o professor do saber e fazer docente.
Evolution of trends in Sri Lankan mangrove research and future prospects
Authors: Amarasinghe Mala 
Published: March 2024

The trend of sporadic surveys and qualitative descriptions of Sri Lankan mangrove flora in the first half of the 20th century has gradually changed to include quantitative studies on floristics, nevertheless, studies on quantification of fauna associated closely with mangrove ecosystems are scarce. Microbial diversity, especially in soil, and its ‘contribution to the detritus cycle are the least studied. The tendency to engage in short-term research at convenient sites affects the quality and relevance of research output with some redundancy, resulting in a marginal contribution to the knowledge base on mangrove ecology. Studying mangrove ecosystem functions/ services demands long-term collection of data that would have made them less attractive research ventures. Research on trophic relationships, detritus and nutrient cycling, habitat and pollination functions too have had the same fate. The Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 triggered a considerable interest in the coastal protection function of mangroves, as it was evident that mangroves and other coastal vegetation provided superior resistance to tsunami waves than hard engineering coastal protective structures. This has led to an unprecedented trend of mangrove afforestation for coastal defense, more than to research on planting techniques and maintenance to enhance the survival and growth of seedlings. This is still an under-researched aspect. Escalating recognition of blue carbon as a climate-smart solution and the development of market mechanisms for blue carbon trading have induced a considerable research interest in quantifying the mangrove blue carbon stocks, especially in the soil. Research on atmospheric carbon removal capacity/rates of mangrove plants/forests through photosynthesis however, lags behind for the reason that it requires data collection for a longer period that demands greater financial and labour investment. The urgency created by the current climate change crisis for effective solutions to reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases may provide a conducive environment for mangrove research.
Are the stream macrobenthos impacted by the wastewater from rubber factories?
Authors: Dilhara K. G. A. , Chandrasekara W. U. 
Published: March 2024

We assessed how the wastewater generated from raw rubber factories affected the water quality parameters and how such changes influenced the stream macrobenthic assemblages in some streams in the wet zone of Sri Lanka. For this assessment, water quality parameters viz. DO, COD, BOD5, conductivity, TDS, T, pH, and OMC in the sediment were measured, and the macrobenthic fauna were sampled during the dry season at six sampling sites established based on judgemental sampling technique viz. rubber factory wastewater effluent canal (site A), point of wastewater discharge in the stream (site B), 50 m upstream site from site B (site C), 50 m downstream site from site B (site D), 100 m downstream site from site B (site E), and 150 m downstream site from site B (site F) following standard field sampling techniques. Secondary research data (dry season) from two other streams subjected to rubber factory wastewater effluents, namely Rakwatte Ela (2001) and Gurugoda Oya (2011), were also used for this assessment. Results revealed that the COD, BOD5, OMC, conductivity, and TDS levels were elevated, and the DO level was reduced significantly in the highly polluted A and B sites in all three streams. Parallel to them, the macrobenthic diversity decreased significantly (p<0.5; ANOVA) at these two sites. However, the complete opposite was observed at the furthermost downstream site F, where the water quality parameters and the microbenthic composition became almost the same as that in the upstream control site C. It is evident that the changes made to the stream water quality and the macrobenthic assemblages by the rubber factory wastewater are never permanent and disappear within a relatively short stretch of 150 m along the streams, most probably due to the dilution of wastewater along the stream. The pollution-tolerant tubificids and chironomids were bioindicator candidates to detect such changes where they became highly abundant at the highly polluted wastewater effluent canal (i.e., Site A) and point of wastewater discharge in the stream (i.e. Site B), but their abundance gradually decreased along the downstream sites probably due to wastewater dilution by the fresh water supply from the stream.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Exposure to allergens produced by a variety of otherwise harmless microbes, including fungi, predisposes individuals to immunopathologic disease upon subsequent encounters with allergen. We developed a mouse model that employs a purified protease produced by Aspergillus (Asp f 13) to investigate the contributions of CD4+ Th cells to recurrent lung inflammation. Notably, memory CD4+ T cells enhanced the eosinophil response of sensitized/rechallenged animals. In addition, memory CD4+ T cells maintained allergenic features, including expression of GATA-binding protein 3 and IL-5. Th2 memory T cells persisted in the peribronchiolar interstitium of the lung and expressed markers of tissue residence, such as CD69, CCR8, and IL-33R. Lastly, we identified a peptide epitope contained within Asp f 13 and generated a peptide–MHC class II tetramer. Using these tools, we further demonstrated the durability and exquisite sensitivity of memory T cells in promoting lung eosinophilia. Our data highlight important features of memory T cells that strengthen the notion that memory T cells are principal drivers of eosinophilic disease in murine models of allergic sensitization and episodic airway inflammation.

Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a major concern for older patients with cancer. The goal of cancer care in most older patients is maintaining the quality of the remaining years of life rather than prolonging survival.

Objectives:
We aimed to evaluate the quality-of-life (QoL) domains in treatment-naïve older patients with cancer.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional observational study was done in the Outpatient Department of Geriatric Medicine of the All India Institute of Medical Science, New Delhi, India from July 2015 to June 2017. Treatment-naïve patients aged 60 years and above with a histological diagnosis of malignancy were enrolled. The QoL questions were asked in Hindi/English (as per the patient’s comfort) using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ- C30). The scores on the different domains of the QoL were noted; scoring was as per the EORTC QLQ-C30 scoring manual. Continuous scores were converted into dichotomous variables by using a cut-off of 50, i.e. scores less than 50 were graded as “low scores” while scores of 50 and above were graded as “high scores.”

Results:
Out of the total of 419 questionnaires obtained, 360 were analyzed. Fatigue was reported in 248 (68.9%) patients, loss of appetite in 239 (66.4%), and pain in 180 (50%). Poor functioning (score <50) was seen in 238 (66%) patients in the global QoL domain (overall health and quality of life in the preceding one week), in 248 (68.9%) in the role functioning domain, in 200 (55.5%) in the physical functioning domain, and in 268 (74.3%) in the emotional functioning domain. Financial constraints were reported by 239 (66.4%) patients.

Conclusion:
In older patients with cancer, fatigue, loss of appetite, and pain were the predominant symptoms affecting QoL. Poorer scores were reported in the global health status domain, financial difficulties, and the domains of physical, role, and emotional functioning. These results can help in planning early interventions, targeted at improving the QoL in these patients.
