The Lower Zeravshan district of Uzbekistan is characterized by the most arid climate and is particularly affected by global warming and anthropogenic pressure. The biodiversity of herpetobiont beetles in this region has not been sufficiently studied, and this makes it difficult to monitor the fauna of the region. This work was carried out to assess the biodiversity and ecological features of some groups of herpetobiont beetles during 2019–2023. Soil and light traps, soil excavations and manual collection were used to collect material. A total of 131 species of beetles were identified. The carabid fauna of the region is represented by 43 species belonging to nine subfamilies, 19 tribes, and 28 genera. For the fauna of the Republic, two species were recorded for the first time (Syntomus obscuroguttatus (Duftschmid, 1812) and Scarites subcylindricus Chaudoir, 1843). The darkling beetle fauna includes 46 species belonging to three subfamilies, 16 tribes, and 30 genera. For the first time, five species were recorded for the fauna of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Cyphogenia lucifuga Adams, 1817, Trigonoscelis apicalis Reitter, 1907, Colpotus sulcatus (Menetries, 1838), Tribolium destructor Uyttenboogart, 1933, Pentaphyllus chrysomeloides (Rossi, 1792)). The fauna of ground beetles and darkling beetles of the Lower Zeravshan consists of two species complexes that differ sharply from each other – xerophilic (inhabiting desert biocenoses) and hygromesophilic (inhabiting agricultural landscapes). The similarity coefficients of the fauna of these two types of biocenoses are very low. The fauna of click beetles is represented by 10 species belonging to four subfamilies and seven genera. The fauna of lamellar beetles consists of 31 species (32 with subspecies), belonging to eight subfamilies, 13 tribes, and 19 genera. In agrocenoses, a significant increase in the number of herpetobionts is observed in the first days of June. But their maximum number is observed in early July. It has been established that seasonal fluctuations in the number of representatives of the families Carabidae, Elateridae, Staphylinidae, and Tenebrionidae occur almost in parallel. Fluctuations in the number of representatives of the Scarabaeidae family do not correspond to the above pattern, and the maximum value is observed at the end of July. The data obtained can be used to assess biodiversity and environmental monitoring of arid zones of Uzbekistan.

AbstractThe rich floristic and faunistic diversity of Türkiye hosts numerous endemic species, particularly in the southeastern region. Climate change could exert negative impacts on the distribution of endemic species and cause their extinction. Hydrothassa anatolica Şahin & Özdikmen, 2019 (Chrysomelidae: Chrysomelinae) is an endemic species distributed in the Hakkari province of Türkiye. This study assessed the impacts of climate change on the habitat suitability of H. anatolica using maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model. The occurrence records of the species were collected through surveys in Yüksekova district of Hakkari province during 2022 and 2023 and used in the modeling exercise. Habitat suitability of H. anatolica was predicted for 2021–2040, 2041–2060, 2061–2080 and 2081–2100 under two shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs), i.e., SSP1-2.6 (low greenhouse gas emissions scenario) and SSP5-8.5 (very high greenhouse gas emissions scenario). A total 12 occurrence records and 9 bioclimatic variables were used to predict the habitat suitability under current and future climatic conditions. The results indicated that bio 6 (minimum temperature of the coldest month) bio18 (precipitation of warmest quarter) will mediate the distribution of H. anatolica under current and future climatic conditions. The areas with wet summers and cold winters were predicted highly suitable for H. anatolica. The model predicted that the species will expand its distribution range in the future under both climate change scenarios.
Nest site selection, nest characteristics, and breeding ecology of the Eurasian tree sparrow, Passer montanus, living in an urban area
Authors: Lee Ju-Hyun , Kim Se-Yeong , Sung Ha-Cheol 
Published: April 2024

AbstractUrbanization has resulted in changes in bird life histories, and some species have successfully adapted to urban environments, resulting in synurbization. Nest site selection in urban areas challenges cavity nesters because natural nest sites are often replaced by artificial holes. This study was conducted to identify the nest site selection and nest characteristics of the Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus) living in an urban environment. This species inhabits artificial structures and tree holes around human settlements. We surveyed nests of tree sparrows on the Chonnam National University campus, located in Gwangju, Republic of Korea, during the first clutch from March to May 2020. We categorized nest types into natural and artificial nest sites. The tree sparrows selected natural nest sites such as woodpecker's holes and cracks in trees, and selected artificial nest sites which included holes in concrete buildings, under roofs, and in steel frames and nesting boxes. No significant differences were found in breeding schedules and reproductive success between birds nesting in artificial and natural holes. The results suggest that tree sparrows can successfully adapt to an urban environment by selecting nest sites regardless of nest hole type, and can reproduce successfully when nesting in both natural and artificial holes.

AS CRÓNICAS MIGUEL ESTEVES CARDOSO E DE ANTÓNIO LOBO ANTUNES: OLHARES LITERÁRIOS SOBRE O PORTUGAL CONTEMPORÂNEO
Authors: Barradas Maria Filomena 
Published: April 2024

O trabalho que aqui se apresenta resulta do cruzamento de dois autores portugueses contemporâneos, Miguel Esteves Cardoso (1955) e António Lobo Antunes (1942), que, nas suas crónicas escritas entre os anos 80 e 90 do século passado, refletem sobre o momento histórico e as mudanças operadas na sociedade portuguesa.
Entendemos aqui a crónica como um discurso de fronteira entre o jornalismo, a literatura e a historiografia. Inicialmente publicadas em jornais de referência no panorama português (Expresso, O Independente e Público), os textos que abordaremos tiveram tão bom acolhimento que foram pouco tempo depois recolhidos e editados em livro, que têm sido alvo de sucessivas reedições.
Escrevendo em regimes muito diferentes – Miguel Esteves Cardoso é um opinador, enquanto António Lobo Antunes é um ficcionista –, ambos tomaram o Portugal dos anos 80-90 como tema e cenário das suas crónicas, apresentando um retrato de Portugal em crise de identidade, no rescaldo da perda das colónias, mas procurando uma personalidade coletiva, no momento em que uma realidade geopolítica e económica se impunha com a entrada na CEE (1986).
SABERES POPULARES NAS NARRATIVAS ORAIS: MARCAS LINGUÍSTICAS E SÍMBOLO DE RESISTÊNCIA DAS COMUNIDADES QUILOMBOLAS
Authors: Da Silva Plácido Elane , De Souza Silva Andreza 
Published: April 2024

RESUMO
Considerando que as narrativas orais são marcas linguísticas de resistência das comunidades quilombolas e fazem parte da ficção e história como discursos dos constructos humanos pela análise dos vestígios do passado no presente, constituindo uma visão linguística a destacar por meio da variação, discutem-se neste artigo aspectos da variação da língua em narrativas orais, questionando a constituição da identidade quilombola e seu lugar de fala como símbolo de resistência, representado por uma linearidade de histórias orais. Com o objetivo de analisar a variação linguística, como expressão de luta dos africanos que foram submetidos a vários tipos de serviços, castigos e opressões; as narrativas orais são contadas atualmente nas comunidades remanescentes e ainda mantêm viva na memória a resistência dos povos escravizados. Para isso utiliza-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica com embasamento teórico de alguns autores como Acácio Santos e Sérgio Norte (2017); Renato Mendonça (2012); Walter Benjamim (1994). Através dessa pesquisa, é possível observar que a língua africana influenciou na estruturação do português, além de ser símbolo de representatividade e resistência dos africanos.
Palavras-chave: história; narrativas orais; variação linguística; resistência.

Published: April 2024

O presente artigo apresenta um relato de experiências proporcionadas pela realização de oficinas de poesia ministradas pela autora em Rio Grande (RS). Objetiva-se ressaltar o aprendizado adquirido ao longo da preparação, apresentação e realização dos trabalhos, a partir de um projeto que surgiu no meio acadêmico e foi apresentado à comunidade, em um movimento comunidade-academia (PRZYBYLSKI, 2018). Outrossim, quer-se refletir acerca das ideias que levaram à realização da ação, seu planejamento, bem como o aprendizado com a narrativa dos participantes e o retorno das poesias criadas nas oficinas através da publicação dos poemas em página da Internet, entendendo-os como escritores e narradores urbano-digitais (PRZYBYLSKI, 2018). Nesse sentido, salienta-se a importância dos estudos decoloniais, a partir de Santos (2009), 2004), Quijano (2005), entre outros e outras que comprovem a necessidade de termos um olhar mais apurado e crítico para com a nossa produção e de nossos poetas periféricos.

Effect of Size Fractions of Foraminifera on Reconstructing the Paleoceanography of Cretaceous Oceanic Anoxic Event 2
Authors: Londoño Vanessa , Collins Laurel S. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The globally recognized Cretaceous Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 was recorded at Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Site U1407 in the North Atlantic in sediments that were deposited under varying oxygen concentrations, conditions often associated with decreased foraminiferal test size. A &gt;63-µm size fraction is typically used for collecting foraminifera that live in low-oxygen and deep-sea settings, particularly for paleoceanographic reconstructions where key environmental indicator species may be under-represented or absent in coarser sizes. Using 31 sediment samples from the site, we test the best size fraction to utilize when exploring biotic responses to an oceanic anoxic event. Counts of benthic and biserial (heterohelicid) planktic foraminifera from the standard &gt;63-µm and finer 38–63-µm sieve sizes are compared to determine if critical information is lost if the smaller size fraction is not used. Results show similar trends in relative abundances for both size fractions. There are higher abundances in 38–63-µm residues, but species identification and counts are overly time-consuming for obtaining the general trends. We recommend the use of &gt;63-µm sieves for foraminifera collected from low-oxygen sediments but encourage examination of the 38–63-µm fraction to verify intervals recognized as barren are truly absent of foraminifera.

Published: April 2024

Summary
Pipes with diameter reduction and direction variation are very common in deepwater extraction. While the high-pressure and low-temperature conditions may trigger severe hydrate problems, current studies on hydrate particle migration and deposition are mainly carried out in pipes with a constant diameter, whereas the law of diameter reduction has been less explored; in particular, the effect of diameter reduction + direction variation in pipe has not been reported. In this study, a model of hydrate particle migration and deposition in special pipelines is established based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-discrete element solver (DEM)-application programming interface (API) method, which can be used to carry out real-time visualization calculations of hydrate particles. Simultaneously, this paper reveals the mechanism of hydrate particle migration and deposition at the diameter reduction and direction variation, which provides a new idea for the design of the pipe. Furthermore, for the pipe with diameter reduction + direction variation, the entire process of deposition blockage is simulated, and dangerous locations of pipe clogging are identified. The simulation results found that there is a maximum hydrate deposition particle diameter (MHDPD) for hydrate deposition in the pipe. The results of this work may provide valuable references for accurate prediction of particle deposition in deepwater development.

Published: April 2024

Abstract

This paper presents a systematic literature review of published studies on AI-based automated speech therapy tools for persons with speech sound disorders (SSD). The COVID-19 pandemic has initiated the requirement for automated speech therapy tools for persons with SSD making speech therapy accessible and affordable. However, there are no guidelines for designing such automated tools and their required degree of automation compared to the conventional speech therapy given by Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs). In this systematic review, we followed the PRISMA framework to address four research questions: 1) what types of SSD do AI-based automated speech therapy tools address, 2) what is the level of autonomy achieved by such tools, 3) what are the different modes of intervention, and 4) how effective are such tools in comparison with the conventional mode of speech therapy. An extensive search was conducted on digital libraries to find research papers relevant to our study from 2007 to 2022. The results show that AI-based automated speech therapy tools for persons with SSD are increasingly gaining attention among researchers. Articulation disorders were the most frequently addressed SSD based on the reviewed papers. Further, our analysis shows that most researchers proposed fully automated tools without considering the role of other stakeholders. Our review indicates that mobile-based and gamified applications were the most frequent mode of intervention. The results further show that only a few studies compared the effectiveness of such tools compared to the conventional mode of speech therapy. Our paper presents the state-of-the-art in the field, contributes significant insights based on the research questions, and provides suggestions for future research directions.

Abstract
In photosynthetic organisms light acts as an environmental signal to control their development and physiology, and as energy source to drive the conversion of CO2 into carbohydrates used for growth or storage. The main storage carbohydrate in green algae is starch, which accumulates during the day and is broken down at night to meet cellular energy demands. The signalling role of light quality in the regulation of starch accumulation remains unexplored. Here, we report that in the model green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii blue light perceived by the photoreceptor PHOTOTROPIN causes dephosphorylation of the PHOTOTROPIN-MEDIATED SIGNALLING KINASE 1 that then suppresses starch accumulation by inhibiting the expression of GLYCERALDEHYDE-3-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE. Our results provide an in-depth view of how photoreceptor-mediated signalling controls microalgal carbon metabolism.
Vulnerability Assessment of Intelligent Weapon Systems Based on Combined Weighting Method and Cloud Model

Published: April 2024

Abstract

With the rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities into weapon systems, vulnerabilities arising from the inherent limitations of AI technologies have emerged as a critical issue that jeopardizes system reliability and stability. This study presents a quantitative model for assessing the vulnerabilities of intelligent weapon systems by combining the weighting technique with cloud models. Through a review of literature and expert elicitation, a hierarchical index system comprising 5 primary indices and 14 secondary indices is constructed to facilitate vulnerability appraisal. The subjective Analytic Hierarchy Process is combined with the objective entropy method to calculate indicator weights for reducing subjectivity. The cloud model ingeniously transforms the ambiguity and randomness associated with evaluating qualitative indices into quantifiable cloud characteristics, thereby enabling the effective management of uncertainties. A case study assessing the vulnerability of a specific unmanned aerial vehicle system invites 10 field experts to validate the feasibility of the proposed methodology. The calculation of the similarity between the derived comprehensive cloud and predefined benchmark clouds can accurately classify the vulnerability level. The research conclusions provide essential guidelines for enhancing algorithm transparency, improving data diversity, and strengthening redundancy designs to mitigate vulnerabilities. With the accelerating integration of AI capabilities into weapon systems, it will be an ongoing imperative to continually assess and address vulnerabilities stemming from the inherent limitations of AI.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Recently, social media has gradually become an important topic in public opinion analysis field. Among social media, Microblog is one of the most important platforms because it is short, convenient, mobile and instantaneous. Social media microblog recognition well reflects the attitudes from an enormous big colony to a specific incident, either positive or negative, which can be used for deriving competitive intelligence, marketing strategies, detecting depression and so on. However, the existing methods usually use only text or image from internet but not take advantages of their complementary information to finalize the recognition, it limits the performance and robustness of the algorithms. In this paper, we present a collaborate decision network (CDN) based on cross-modal attention to exploit the discriminative attributes of multi modalities by data- and knowledge joint driven strategy in depth, and further improve the recognition performance. In addition, we collect and construct a visual-text microblog recognition dataset with 2854 samples to support the subsequent research of related fields. Finally, experimental reuslts on the collected dataset show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed CDN.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a widespread nosocomial pathogen with a significant capacity to cause both severe acute infections and biofilm-related chronic infections. Small RNAs (sRNAs) are noncoding regulatory molecules that are stabilized by the RNA chaperone Hfq, triggering various signaling pathways. Here, we identified an Hfq-binding sRNA in P. aeruginosa PAO1, named PqsS, which promoted bacterial pathogenicity and the pseudomonas quinolone signal quorum sensing (pqs QS) system. Specifically, PqsS enhanced bacterial acute infections by inducing host cell death and promoting rhamnolipid-regulated swarming motility. Meanwhile, PqsS reduced chronic infection traits including biofilm formation, antibiotic resistance, macrophage survival, and ROS production. Moreover, PqsS repressed the pqsL transcript, leading to the increased PQS levels for pqs QS system, while a PQS-rich condition promoted PqsS expression, thus forming a positive feedback loop. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the PqsS-Hfq complex interacts with and destabilizes the pqsL mRNA by recruiting RNase E to drive degradation. Finally, PqsS promotes membrane vesicles (MVs) production and is abundantly detected in MVs. Our work revealed a novel Hfq-binding sRNA PqsS signaling pathway, which enhances pqs QS and acute infections in P. aeruginosa. These findings provide insights for future research on P. aeruginosa pathogenesis and targeted treatment strategies.
