Variability in cross-language and cross-dialect perception. How Irish and Chinese migrants process Australian English vowels
Authors: Diskin-Holdaway Chloé , Loakes Debbie , Clothier Josh 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
We investigate how three adult groups – experienced L2 English listeners; experienced D2 (second dialect) listeners; and native L1/D1 listeners – categorise Australian English (AusE) lax front vowels /ɪ e æ/ in /hVt/, /hVl/ and /mVl/ environments in a forced-choice categorisation task of synthesised continua. In study 1, AusE listeners show predictable categorisations, with an effect of coarticulation raising the vowel in perception for nasal onset stimuli, and a following lateral lowering the vowel in perception. In study 2, Irish (D2) and Chinese listeners (L2) have different categorisations than AusE listeners, likely guided by their D1/L1. Coarticulation influences the D1/D2 groups in similar ways, but results in more difficulty and less agreement for the Chinese. We also investigate the role of extralinguistic factors. For the Chinese listeners, higher proficiency in English does not correlate with more Australian-like categorisation behaviour. However, having fewer Chinese in their social network results in more Australian-like categorisation for some stimuli. These findings lend partial support to the role of experience and exposure in L2/D2 contexts, whereby categorisation is likely still driven by native categories, with increased exposure leading to better mapping, but not to a restructuring of underlying phonetic categories.

AbstractWe aimed to determine the association between the seropositivity to Toxoplasma gondii and the ABO and Rh blood groups in 2,053 people. ABO and Rhesus blood groups and anti-T. gondii IgG and IgM antibodies were determined using commercially available assays. Of the 2,053 people studied, 171 (8.3%) were positive for anti-T. gondii IgG antibodies. Sixty-five (38.0%) and 36 (21.1%) of these 171 individuals had high anti-T. gondii IgG antibody levels (≥150 IU mL−1) and anti-T. gondii IgM antibodies, respectively. We found the following prevalences of T. gondii infection among the ABO groups: 8.5% in group A, 4.3% in group B, 4.7% in group AB, and 8.9% in group O (P = 0.19). The prevalences of T. gondii infection among Rh groups were: 8.4% in the Rh-positive group and 7.1% in the Rh-negative group (P = 0.58). Logistic regression analysis showed that the frequencies of ABO and Rh blood groups were similar (P > 0.05) among people with positive and negative serology for anti-T. gondii IgG antibodies, with high (≥150 IU mL−1) and lower (<150 IU mL−1) levels of anti-T. gondii IgG antibodies, and with positive and negative serology for anti-T. gondii IgM antibodies. Results does not support an association between T. gondii infection and ABO and Rh blood groups.

Optimal development is the goal that the child is expected to achieve during maturation which can be categorized into 5 domains, one of which is fine motor development. Fine motor development takes longer to achieve than gross motor development so it is necessary to stimulate one of them with a play approach. This study aims to analyze the development of LADO BALA play therapy (playdough Natural ingredients) on fine motor development and anxiety levels in children in the agricultural area. This research is a quasy experiment research with one group pretest-posttest design. The respondents in this study were 78 pre-school children with purposive sampling techniques. The measuring tools used in this study were DDST sheets to assess development and Faces Image Scale (FIS) to assess anxiety. The novelty in this study is that the media used is the result of the development of researchers, namely playdough with natural ingredients, namely wheat flour, salt, food coloring, warm water by utilizing local resources and wisdom in the agronursing area, namely using coconut oil which is safe and beneficial for children's skin health. The data obtained were analyzed with the Wilcoxon signed ranks test to determine the influence between variables. The results of each analysis were obtained namely p = 0.001 which stated that there was an influence of the development of playdough play on fine motor development and anxiety levels in children in the agriculture area. Playing lado bala facilitates children's development through squeezing, shaking, and increasing creativity in children, as well as making children feel happy so as to reduce anxiety in children.Playing ladobala can be one of the stimulations of fine motor development in pre-shool children in the agronursing area and ladobala media can be made by children with parents with easily available and safe materials.

Authors: Hartatik Erna , Rondhianto Rondhianto , Helianti Dina 
Published: January 2024

Background: Providing healthy latrines for each family is an effort to reduce open defecation. However, there are still many open defecation incidents, which can increase the risk of fecal-oral transmission of disease. Many factors influence open defecation behavior, one of which is socio-demographic factors. Purpose: This study aims to analyze socio-demographic factors' influence on family latrine utilization behavior. Method: This type of research is observational analytic with a cross-sectional design. The sample size was 138 respondents using the cluster random sampling technique. The independent variables are age, gender, education, income, and number of family members.
Meanwhile, the dependent variable is the behavior of using the family toilet. The instrument used was a questionnaire that was analyzed using multiple logistic regression and mean difference tests. Results: Most respondents were aged 41 – 60 years (73.2%), women (57.3%), secondary education (55.8%), with family members of less than four people (81.88%), and all respondents earned less than the minimum wage (100%). Most respondents had family latrine utilization behavior in the high category (66.7%). The modeling test showed the model fit (p = 0.034; R2 = 0.162). It showed that age, gender, education, income and number of family members simultaneously significantly affect family latrine utilization behavior by 16.2%. However, partially, only the educational factor had a significant effect (p=0.001). In addition, the mean difference test shows significant differences in family latrine utilization behavior based on age and education level (p=0.002; p=0.001). Conclusions: The socio-demographic factor that significantly influences latrine use behavior is the level of education. In carrying out health promotion efforts to increase family latrine utilization behavior, health workers should consider educational level factors to achieve the goal and reduce open defecation behavior.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
The Tibetan Plateau is currently the widest and highest elevation orogenic plateau on Earth. It formed as a response to the Cenozoic and is still ongoing collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates. The Xigaze fore-arc basin distributed along the Indus–Yarlung suture zone in southern Tibet preserves important information related to the late Cenozoic tectonic and topographic evolution of the plateau. In this study, apatite fission track (AFT) thermochronology was carried out on twelve sandstone samples from the middle segment of the Xigaze basin and additionally on four sedimentary rocks from the neighboring Dazhuka (Kailas) and Liuqu Formations. Inverse thermal history modeling results reveal that the fore-arc basin rocks experienced episodic late Oligocene to Miocene enhanced cooling. Taking into account regional geological data, it is suggested that the late Oligocene-early Miocene (~27–18 Ma) cooling recognized in the northern part of the basin was promoted by fault activity along the Great Counter thrust, while mid-to-late Miocene-accelerated exhumation was facilitated by strong incision of the Yarlung and Buqu rivers, which probably resulted from enhanced East Asian summer monsoon precipitation. Sandstone and conglomerate samples from the Dazhuka and Liuqu Formations yielded comparable Miocene AFT apparent ages to those of the Xigaze basin sediments, indicative of (mid-to-late Miocene) exhumation soon after their early Miocene burial (&gt; ~3–4 km). Additionally, our new and published low-temperature thermochronological data indicate that enhanced basement cooling during the Miocene prevailed in vast areas of central southern Tibet when regional exhumation was triggered by both tectonic and climatic contributing factors. This recent and widespread regional exhumation also led to the formation of the high-relief topography of the external drainage area in southern Tibet, including the Xigaze fore-arc basin.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Reliable data on yield potential is crucial for identifying areas with opportunities for production improvement. Here, we integrated an agronomically robust bottom-up approach with machine learning to generate high-resolution global maps of yield potential for maize, wheat, and rice. Our machine learning metamodel leverages site-specific yield potential derived from locally evaluated crop growth simulations and gridded climate, soil, and cropping system global databases. The metamodel showed high accuracy in predicting yield potential for the three crops, but the prediction uncertainty was higher in regions where local estimates of yield potential were missing. Our work demonstrates the benefits of integrating bottom-up and machine learning methods to achieve global coverage at high spatial resolution and ensure local relevance. The novel global yield potential maps can help to identify areas with large room to increase crop yields and serve studies assessing food security, land use, and climate change from local to global levels.
A Dense matching method for remote sensing images fused with CPS denoising
Authors: ZHU BO , Tan Xiao , Li Houpu 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Dense matching of remote sensing images is crucial for 3D reconstruction. This study proposes an enhanced dense matching method employing the CPS image denoising algorithm, aiming to boost the SGM algorithm's accuracy and efficiency in remote sensing image matching. The stereo image pair's quality is evaluated using the PSNR index, and a decision-making criterion based on the CPS algorithm is incorporated to determine the need for noise reduction. Preprocessing steps, including image cropping and pixel coordinate transformation, significantly reduce computational requirements. An epipolar line model, minimizing the disparity between two pixels, is used for calculations. This model is employed to construct an epipolar image, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of the process. Experimental validation and analysis confirm that this method effectively addresses dense matching challenges in the presence of image blur and noise, thereby improving the operational efficiency and accuracy of the dense matching algorithm.

Abstract

Archaeoseismic analysis performed in Western Sicily point to deformed archeological remains at Lilybaeum, a Punic coastal city founded in 397 B.C. at the Island’s westernmost edge. Starting from the direct observation of deformed ruins, an interdisciplinary work-strategy, which has included field-structural analysis, drone-shot high-resolution aerial photogrammetry, and geophysical prospecting, was employed to investigate whether the identified deformations may represent the ground effects of a previously unknown large earthquake in the area. Among the unearthed remains, some mosaics and a stone-paved monumental avenue show evidence of tectonic deformation being fractured, folded, and uplifted. Trend of folding and fracturing is consistent with the NNW-SSE oriented tectonic max stress axis to which western Sicily is currently undergoing. Displacement along a fracture deforming the Decumanus Maximus together with the finding of a domino-type directional collapse, enable us to interpret the observed deformation as the ground signature of a coseismic slip. Seismic rupture occurred along a previously unmapped deformation front that well fits in the seismotectonic context of Western Sicily. Measured offset, geophysical prospecting, and age-constraints all point to the possibility that a highly-energetic earthquake nucleated in the area following a coseismic rupture along a NE-SW trending back-verging reverse fault towards the end of the IV century A.D. Since seismic catalogs do not provide evidence of such a large earthquake, the latter might represent a missed event in the historical seismic record. This finding provides constraints to redefine the seismic hazard of Western Sicily, a region where recurrence-time intervals for large earthquakes are still unknown.
Spatial memory impairment is associated with oxidative stress, neurodegeneration and abnormalities neuromorphology in the hippocampus of rotenone-induced Parkinson’s mouse model: neuroprotective role of a specialized Bacopa monnieri extract (CDRI-08)
Authors: Gupta Vartika , Prasad S. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disorder linked with ageing, is associated with both motor and non-motor problems. Memory loss is a common non-motor symptom of PD, particularly as the disease progresses, and it can lead to cognitive impairment.The objective of this study was to investigate the underlying biochemical, molecular, and neuroanatomical pathways that contribute to learning and memory impairment in PD. The study investigates the potential neuroprotective and neurotherapeutic effects of the Bacopa monnieriextract (CDRI-08), a natural nootropic medication, on memory deterioration associated with PD. To comprehend the information provided, we developed a PD mouse model by administering rotenone subcutaneously at a dose of 2mg/kg BW. Spatial working memory and the expression of α-Synuclein in the hippocampus was examined. Additionally, evaluation of the oxidative stress parameters, neuronal cell density, apoptosis in subregions of the hippocampus, and dendritic arborization and dendritic spine density in CA1 pyramidal neurons of the hippocampus. Results showed that PD exhibited a decline in their ability to remember spatial information, which can be correlated with high oxidative stress characterized by increased reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation levels whereas decreased activity of SOD and catalase. This oxidative stress resulted in a drop in the density of neurons due to increased cell death characterized by increased caspase-3 expression and TUNEL-positive cells, leading to a loss of dendritic length, branching, and dendritic spine density. Administering BME (CDRI-08) orally effectively alleviates the illness and additionally improves neuroprotection by strengthening and nourishing neurons by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes and decreasing the expression of pro-apoptotic factor caspase-3. Collectively, these findings indicate that Bacopa monnieri extract can be utilized as a herbal remedy to treat memory impairment induced by PD.

Abstract

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), neurons transmitting visual information via the optic nerve, fail to regenerate their axons after injury. The progressive loss of RGC function underlies the pathophysiology of glaucoma and other optic neuropathies, often leading to irreversible blindness. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify the regulators of RGC survival and the regenerative program. In this study, we investigated the role of the family of transcription factors known as nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), which are expressed in the retina; however, their role in RGC survival after injury is unknown. Using the optic nerve crush (ONC) model, widely employed to study optic neuropathies and central nervous system axon injury, we found that NFATc4 is specifically but transiently up-regulated in response to mechanical injury. In the injured retina, NFATc4 immunolocalized primarily to the ganglionic cell layer. Utilizing NFATc4−/− and NFATc3−/− mice, we demonstrated that NFATc4, but not NFATc3, knockout increased RGC survival, improved retina function, and delayed axonal degeneration. Microarray screening data, along with decreased immunostaining of cleaved caspase-3, revealed that NFATc4 knockout was protective against ONC-induced degeneration by suppressing pro-apoptotic signaling. Finally, we used lentiviral-mediated NFATc4 delivery to the retina of NFATc4−/− mice and reversed the pro-survival effect of NFATc4 knockout, conclusively linking the enhanced survival of injured RGCs to NFATc4-dependent mechanisms. In summary, this study is the first to demonstrate that NFATc4 knockout may confer transient RGC neuroprotection and decelerate axonal degeneration after injury, providing a potent therapeutic strategy for optic neuropathies.
