Published: March 2024

AbstractPlant protection products (PPP), crucial for agricultural production, are experiencing increased global demand, particularly with the growing need for food production. To meet this demand, robust analytical methods are essential for confirming the presence and determining active substance concentrations in PPP. This study introduces an analytical method utilizing high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) for determination of acetamiprid in water-soluble powder formulations. The method, validated according to SANCO/3030/99 rev.5, demonstrated exhibited adequate accuracy and precision, with repeatability expressed as the ratio of the standard deviation (% RSD) to the relative standard deviation (% RSDr) being lower than 1. Recoveries for the active substance at concentrations above 10% ranged from 97% to 103%. The developed method is also characterized by suitable linearity, confirmed by a correlation coefficient >0.99. Specific chromatographic profiles were generated, and acetamiprid content in 180 formulations was analyzed, including reference products. The developed method aligns with “green chemistry” principles, minimizing solvent use and emphasizing energy efficiency. Overall, it offers a comprehensive approach for qualitative and quantitative analysis, ensuring the reliability of PPP quality control.
Social structure and integration: Occupational classes and integration mechanisms between 2015 and 2021
Authors: Kovách Imre , Kristóf Luca 
Published: March 2024

The topic of the paper is the relationship between social stratification based on occupational classes and the mechanisms of social integration, which was analysed on quantitative data collected in 2015, 2018 and 2021. We sought answers to how we can better understand the interaction of social and integration positions, as well as the functioning of complex integration mechanisms. In the examined six years, a definite homogenization took place in the integration indicators of the occupational groups: this means that indicators measured of occupational group in some integration dimensions took on closer values. It is also part of our research results that there is an interpretable correlation between the hierarchy of occupational groups and the examined integration mechanisms: political participation, number of weak ties, subjective social exclusion and acceptance of norm violation. The upper strata of the occupational class model (mostly entrepreneurs, managers, professionals and other white-collar workers) have consistently reported higher numbers of weak ties, lower sense of exclusion and higher political participation. We also found consistent, yet opposite results in the lower strata, mostly among the unemployed and those with unskilled and semi-skilled work linked to lower qualifications. The strengthening of homogenization and the impact of the hierarchy of occupational groups are simultaneous integrational characteristics of Hungarian society. The future research question is whether homogenization rearranges the integration effect of the occupational hierarchy.

A New Spatial Variation Model for Ground-Motion Intensities Combined with Correlation and Coherency
Authors: Wen Pan , Zhou Baofeng , Shao Guoliang 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Regional seismic risk or loss assessments generally require simulation of spatially distributed ground motions using multiple intensity measures. Hence, in this study, ground-motion model estimation is performed with a spatial correlation. Previously, many researchers have analyzed spatial correlations and developed empirical models using ground-motion recordings. In this study, ground motions occurring in California between 2019 and 2023 were used to analyze spatial correlations using semivariograms for the peak ground acceleration and pseudospectral acceleration in various spectral periods. Based on the analysis results, two aspects need to be revised in the conventional correlation model: (1) the empirical exponential model cannot reasonably reflect the target spatial correlation at a separation distance &lt;10 km, and (2) the variation in the spatial correlation ground-motion intensity cannot be described at a small separation distance &lt;1 km. Owing to these limitations, we revised the fitting model of the semivariogram to better characterize the spatial correlation. In the model, another function called coherency, replaced the spatial correlation to characterize the variation in the Fourier phase rather than the intensity within a separation distance &lt;1 km. This research shows that the spatial variation in any region can be analyzed by combining the coherence and correlation functions for practical seismic-risk or loss assessment problems.

Published: March 2024

In grapes under drought stress, polyols accumulate through tight coordination at the molecular level between increased membrane transport of polyols and inhibition of polyol oxidation. Here, the effects on grape metabolism of an exogenous foliar application of polyols as a potential sustainable viticultural practice to increase grapevine performance and berry quality were thoroughly assessed. Grapevines were pulverised with a polyol solution containing 2 mM mannitol and 2 mM sorbitol, and the metabolome of grape berry exocarps and important metabolic pathways associated with berry quality and polyol metabolism were analysed at véraison and mature stages. By combining metabolomics analysis using UPLC-MS, enzyme activity assays and targeted transcriptional analyses, it was demonstrated that foliar application of polyols stimulated by 3.5-fold and 6-fold abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis at véraison and mature grape berries, respectively. It also stimulated the concentration of anthocyanins, stilbenes and total phenolics in exocarps through the upregulation of phenylpropanoid, stilbenoid and anthocyanin biosynthetic pathways shown by increases in phenylalanine-ammonia lyase (PAL) activity (3-fold) and VviPAL1 expression, stilbene synthase 1 (VviSTS1) transcripts (ca. 5-fold), UDP-glucose:flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase (UFGT) activity and VviUFGT1 expression, among other results, at the mature stage, when these changes were most noticeable. Many secondary metabolites synthesised in these pathways identified by UPLC-MS analysis were present at higher quantities in exocarps from polyol-treated plants such as fertaric acid, E-resveratrol, E-piceatannol, piceid, pallidol, E-ε-viniferin, myricetin-hexoside 1, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside and malvidin-3-O-(6-p-coumaroyl)-glucoside. Foliar application of low-concentration polyols is, therefore, a promising biostimulant-based strategy to improve grape berry quality and nutritional value in the current context of climate change.

Abstract

The phyto-climatic diversity in a region presents the life form of vegetation. Plants produce vast and diverse variety of phytochemicals to communicate and minimize the climatic threats. In the current study, the variations in the phytochemical attributes of four plant species (Nerium oleander, Ricinus communis, Calotropis procera and Withania somnifera)from three ecological zones of Pakistan (sandy desert, irrigated & rain-fed plains) were investigated. The phenolic acids, flavonoids and tannins were quantitatively analyzed by methanolic extraction and standardized methods. The results revealed that zone rainfed lands and zone sandy desert showed the maximum amount of phytochemicals in all species and also exhibited the extreme environmental conditions. The irrigated plains had less stressful environmental condition and maximum amount of soil organic matter that resulted in minimum amount of phytochemicals in plant species. Previous research also supports the evidence that environmental stresses like temperature stresses, water stresses, high light intensities increase, and organic matter hinders the accumulation of phytochemicals. This study proved that same species in different ecological zones show different amounts of phytochemicals due to environmental variations, although environmental stresses exert the effects on plants to produce more phytochemicals.
A Novel method for Delineating Thick and Thin Sub Surface layers of the Earth using Wavelet Local Maxima Lines
Authors: N.E Ramesh , S Pushpa Mala. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The earth's subsurface layers are investigated using seismic reflection signals. The reflection signals contain data on both the velocity and the thickness of the various layers. The wavelet transforms are a useful technique for seismic stratigraphy because they can detect abrupt changes in subsurface layers. Seismic data is recorded using a single channel and a single sensor with two different offsets using a typical common mid-point (CMP) data acquisition method. The Morlet continuous wavelet transform is shown to be the most effective for resolving discontinuities in thin and thick layers among the wavelets tested. Additionally, it is concluded that the continuous wavelet transform's local maxima lines, which are formed from frequency atoms, are the best places to look for velocities to be interpreted. Decomposing a 1D time domain signal into a 2D image with time and frequency domain is more advanced than traditional amplitude-based 1D time domain signal analysis. The velocity of the various layers can be calculated using the local maxima lines' arrival times at two different offsets. It is possible to determine the depth of the layers by utilizing the velocity and the offset distance in the calculation. Different velocities can lead to a misinterpretation of the layers 'it can be avoided by reordering the layers based on the actual depth to the surface.

Abstract

A causal relationship between salt intake and hypertension, stroke, and kidney disease has been established. However, whether reduced salt intake leads to lower blood pressure has been intensely debated. In this prospective, open-label, randomized controlled trial, we examined the impact of low-salt diet on blood pressure, renal function, and other metabolic parameters. Herein, 194 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 1–3 were randomized into the low-salt (intervention) and control groups. The intervention group was provided a salt diet (1.5 gm/day) for 3 months. The control group consumed their usual diet; daily food intake was recorded. Renal function tests; 24-hour urinary sodium excretion; urinary protein; and serum calcium, phosphorus, and electrolyte levels were recorded monthly. Blood pressure decreased significantly in both groups; systolic blood pressure reduction at 3 months was significantly greater in intervention group (-6.57, p < 0.001) compared to control group (-0.58, p = 0.072). Mean reduction in 24-hour urine sodium excretion were greater in intervention group and reached significant level at month 2 (-14.45, p = 0.032). Mean reduction in estimated glomerular filtration rate was significantly higher in control group. Thus, a sodium-restricted diet can help reduce blood pressure and slow the progression of renal insufficiency in patients with CKD.

Investigation of cross-opsonic effect leads to the discovery of PPIase- domain containing protein vaccine target to prevent infections by Gram-positive ESKAPE pathogens
Authors: SADONES Océane , Kramarska Eliza , Laverde Diana , Berisio Rita , Huebner Johannes , Romero-Saavedra Felipe 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background:
Enterococcus faecium and Staphylococcus aureus are the Gram-positive pathogens of the ESKAPE group, known to represent a great threat to human health due to their high virulence and multiple resistances to antibiotics. Combined, enterococci and S. aureusaccount for 26% of healthcare-associated infections and are the most common organisms responsible for blood stream infections. We previously showed that the peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase) PpiC of E. faecium elicits the production of specific, opsonic, and protective antibodies that are effective against several strains of E. faecium and E. faecalis. Due to the ubiquitous characteristics of PPIases and their essential function within Gram-positive cells, we hypothesized a potential cross-reactive effect of anti-PpiC antibodies.
Results:
Opsonophagocytic assays combined with bioinformatics led to the identification of the foldase protein PrsA as a new potential vaccine antigen in S. aureus. We show that PrsA is a stable dimeric protein able to elicit opsonic antibodies against the S. aureus strain MW2, as well as cross-binding and cross-opsonic in several S. aureus, E. faecium and E. faecalis strains.
Conclusions:
Given the multiple antibiotic resistances S. aureusand enterococci present, finding preventive strategies is essential to fight those two nosocomial pathogens. The study shows the potential of PrsA as an antigen to use in vaccine formulation against the two dangerous Gram-positive ESKAPE bacteria. Our findings support the idea that PPIases should be further investigated as vaccine targets in the frame of pan-vaccinomics strategy.
Mendelian Randomization Investigation: Exploring the Relationship Between Sphingomyelin levels and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Risk through Interleukin-10 levelsExpression
Authors: shi jian , li han 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
In our Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis, we explored the intricate association between sphingomyelin concentrations and the susceptibility to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), with a particular emphasis on the intermediary role of interleukin-10 (IL-10) expression. This investigation was propelled by the pivotal functions that lipids and inflammatory mechanisms serve in the realm of cardiovascular health and pathology, noting the involvement of various lipid species, sphingomyelin included, in the etiology of HCM. As a principal constituent of cellular membranes, sphingomyelin is recognized for its capacity to modulate cellular architecture, signal transduction, and regulatory mechanisms, thereby potentially influencing myocardial rigidity and the propensity towards fibrotic changes. Our research underscored sphingomyelin's capacity to influence HCM risk via the IL-10 mediated inflammatory pathway, given IL-10's anti-inflammatory attributes. The targeting of the lipid-inflammatory nexus presents itself as an innovative therapeutic avenue for HCM management. Subsequent inquiries should endeavor to corroborate these outcomes through expanded genetic and environmental examinations, delve into additional mediatory factors, and ascertain the therapeutic viability of modulating sphingomyelin metabolism and inflammatory pathways across varied demographic cohorts.
