Authors: Jin Xin , Chang Baoliang , Huang Yanqing , Lin Xiaokun 
Published: January 2024

Climate change and land use/land cover (LULC) change have received widespread attention as the two main factors contributing to the shrinking of plant habitats. However, the different effects of these factors on understory economic tree species are not clear. This is not conducive to the conservation and exploitation of forest resources. Here, we used species distribution modeling to predict the extent to which climate change and LULC change will affect changes in suitable habitats for A. elata under different scenarios in the future. The results showed the suitable habitat to be located in the Changbai Mountain Range in northeast China. The current area is 110,962 km2. The main variables that affect the suitable habitat are annual precipitation, LULC, slope, and mean diurnal range. The percentage contributions are 31.2%, 16.8%, 12.8%, and 12.3%, respectively. In the 2070s, the area of high-quality (moderately and highly) suitable habitat was reduced by an average of 6.05% when climate alone changed, and by an average of 10.21% when land use alone changed. When both factors changed together, there was an average decrease of 9.69%. When climate change and land use change acted together, the shrinking area of suitable habitat did not suddenly increase. These findings help to identify potentially suitable habitats for A. elata and to carry out conservation and exploitation efforts to ensure sustainability.

The domains of unknown function (DUF) superfamilies contain proteins with conserved amino acid sequences without known functions. Among them, DUF668 was indicated widely involving the stress response of plants. However, understanding ZoDUF668 is still lacking. Here, 12 ZoDUF668 genes were identified in ginger by the bioinformatics method and unevenly distributed on six chromosomes. Conserved domain analysis showed that members of the same subfamily had similar conserved motifs and gene structures. The promoter region of ZoDUF668s contained the light, plant hormone and stress-responsive elements. The prediction of miRNA targeting relationship showed that nine ginger miRNAs targeted four ZoDUF668 genes through cleavage. The expression patterns of 12 ZoDUF668 genes under biotic and abiotic stress were analyzed using RT-qPCR. The results showed that the expression of seven ZoDUF668 genes was significantly downregulated under Fusarium solani infection, six ZoDUF668 genes were upregulated under cold stress, and five ZoDUF668 genes were upregulated under waterlogging stress. These results indicate that the ZoDUF668 gene has different expression patterns under different stress conditions. This study provides excellent candidate genes and provides a reference for stress-resistance research in ginger.

Published: January 2024

Chironomids are found in all types of freshwater habitats; they are a ubiquitous and highly diverse group of aquatic insects. Plitvice Lakes National Park is the oldest and largest national park in Croatia and consists of numerous and diverse freshwater habitats, making the area an ideal location for long-term research into the chironomid emergence patterns and phenology. The main objectives of this study were to identify the composition of the chironomid community, determine the phenology of the identified species, and assess the main factors influencing their emergence in Plitvice Lakes. During 14 years of research, more than 13,000 chironomids belonging to more than 80 species were recorded. The most abundant species was found to be Parametriocnemus stylatus. The highest abundance of chironomids was recorded in lotic habitats with faster water current over substrates of moss and algae and pebbles. Water temperature and the availability of organic matter were found to be the main factors that drive chironomid emergence at the tufa barrier studied. In the last years of this study, a prolonged flight period was observed. Although this is not statistically significant (at this stage of the study), it could be due to a higher water temperature in winter.

Published: January 2024

The major virulence factors of Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) are enterotoxins A (TcdA) and B (TcdB). The study of toxins is a crucial step in exploring the virulence of this pathogen. Currently, the toxin purification process is either laborious and time-consuming in C. difficile or performed in heterologous hosts. Therefore, we propose a streamlined method to obtain functional toxins in C. difficile. Two C. difficile strains were generated, each harboring a sequence encoding a His-tag at the 3′ end of C. difficile 630∆erm tcdA or tcdB genes. Each toxin gene is expressed using the Ptet promoter, which is inducible by anhydro-tetracycline. The obtained purification yields were 0.28 mg and 0.1 mg per liter for rTcdA and rTcdB, respectively. In this study, we successfully developed a simple routine method that allows the production and purification of biologically active rTcdA and rTcdB toxins with similar activities compared to native toxins.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
This paper discusses the impact of SiO2/SiOF on second harmonic (H2) generation in temperature-compensated (TC) film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARs). First, two types of TC-FBARs are fabricated and their H2 behavior is compared with that of the standard FBAR. Next, the H2 characteristics of the TC layer are investigated by the use of a series of TC-FBARs where SiOF and Cr layers are placed on the outside of electrodes. The simulations agree very well with the measurements and can explain well how the H2 response changes with Cr thickness. Not only AlN but also SiOF contributes to the generation of H2 response, and H2 becomes very small at an appropriate Cr thickness. Finally, the TC-FBAR filter operating at 5.9 GHz is fabricated and its H2 response is compared with the simulation. The simulation agrees well with the experiment. It is also demonstrated that the insertion of the TC layer is effective in suppressing H2 generation.
The optical gain variation of Ge nanowires induced by L-valley splitting under the [110] direction stress
Authors: Li Xin , Hou Ning , Xiong Wen 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The electronic structures of Ge nanowires under the [110] direction stress are calculated via effective-mass k·p theory, and the results manifest eight equivalent L-valleys will be split into fourfold degenerate L
1-valleys and L
2-valleys. With increasing stress, the electron levels at the L
1-valleys and L
2-valleys can be pushed close to and away from those at the Γ-valley, respectively, which causes the appearance of a rising inflection point in the Γ-valley filling ratio and gain peak intensity at around 2.5 GPa stress. Moreover, we prove the positive net peak gain with small diameters is apt to be obtained considering the free-carrier absorption loss.

This research aims to compare the regulation of personal data protection in telemedicine services in Indonesia and the European Union. The type of research in this scientific article is Normative Juridical Research with a comparative legal approach. The data sources obtained in this paper are primary data and secondary data. The data collection method is a literature study. The data analysis method in this paper uses a qualitative approach. The results show that personal data protection in Indonesia is regulated by Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection (PDP Law). While in the European Union, Personal Data Protection is regulated in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which regulates the collection and use of personal data by organizations. Some similarities in personal data protection in both telemedicine in Indonesia and in the European Union are that the same consent requires telemedicine providers to obtain clear and explicit consent from patients. Both telemedicine providers must not disclose the patient's personal data to third parties without the patient's consent. Telemedicine providers to implement security measures to protect patient personal data. Both Indonesia and the European Union give patients the right to access, correct, delete, and limit the use of their personal data

Introduction: - Urolithiasis is a widespread health problem. The objective of this research was to contrast the use of shock waves extracorporeals lithotripsies’ (ESWL) versus ureterorenoscopy (URS) for the proximal ureteric stones treatment. Ureteric stone is a common disease of urinary system in Pakistan. Despite ongoing success in endourological stone treatment, question about optimal management of proximal ureteric stone still remains debatable amongst urologist; therefore this study is being performed to find an appropriate and effective tool to treat ureteric stones.
Objective: - For patients with large proximal ureteric gallstones, our goal was to compare the advantages of ureterorenoscopy with shock wave extracorporeal lithotripsy (ESWL) (10–15 mm).
Settings: The Karachi-based Sindh Hospital of Urology & Transplantation's Urology Department.
Duration: 6 months from 28-01-2022 to 28-07-2022
Design: Randomized control trial
Subject and Methods: Sixty people were enrolled in the trial, all of whom had a single, radio-opaque stone in the proximal ureter detected by IVU. Thirty patients received ESWL and thirty received URS, both at random. After 3 weeks, x-ray KUB was used to monitor patients in both groups. A computerized pre-structured proforma was used for all data collection.
Result: - The victims were 27.58 6.20 years old on aggregate.There were 38(63.3%) male and 22(36.7%) female. Efficacy of URS treatment was significantly high as compare to ESWL [93.33% vs. 60%; p 0.002].
Conclusion: - This research shows that the results support the hypothesis that URS is more effective for proximal ureteric stone clearance than ESWL.
