Authors: S Sowmiya , R. Beena , N Nithya , N Manikanta Ch L 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Rice productivity is significantly impacted by a significant abiotic stress called heat stress. To adapt to current or future heat stress, it is necessary to understand the physiological basis of heat tolerance. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess the physiological, morphological, and yield parameters of fifty traditional rice landraces when subjected to high temperature stress, as well as to identify SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) markers associated with these traits. The experiment was designed in a completely randomised manner, with two treatment levels, control and high temperature stress (36 ± 2oC), each with three replications. Thirty SSR primers were used to analyze genetic diversity and population structure among 50 traditional rice landraces collected from Regional Agricultural Research Station, Pattambi, Kerala. The fifty traditional rice landraces were clustered using the average linkage method to determine their relationship to one another. The accessions were all grouped primarily into three clusters. According to principal component analysis, under high temperature conditions, the first principal component accounted for 24.602 percent of the variation, while the second component accounted for 20.587 percent of the variation. The accessions were clearly divided into three subpopulations based on population structure analysis. Under high temperature and control conditions, GLM (Generalized Linear Model) analysis revealed highly significant marker trait associations.RM5715, RM10793, and RM471 were among those that showed associations with multiple traits. Molecular markers and identified tolerant accessions can be used in breeding programmes to create high-yielding, temperature-tolerant rice landraces.

We have summarized, analyzed and assessed data on radiation accidents and incidents that occurred on the territory of the Russian Federation for the period from 2010 to 2022. The data are presented in the Data bank of radiation accidents and incidents of the Information and Analytical Center of Rospotrebnadzor on radiation safety, in the form of federal statistical observation No. 18 “Information on the sanitary condition of the subject of the Russian Federation”, and in radiation-hygienic passports of territories. The objective of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of information on radiation accidents for the period from 2010 to 2022 contained in the above-mentioned sources. The objective of the study was to perform a comparative analysis of information on radiation accidents for the period from 2010 to 2022 contained in the above-mentioned sources. Comparison of the number of radiation accidents in dynamics has shown the presence of discrepancies between the studied data sources, lack of systematicity of these discrepancies, and multidirectional trends in the number of radiation accidents. From 2010 to 2022, in the Data bank of radiation accidents and incidents of the Information and Analytical Center of Rospotrebnadzor on radiation safety were registered 2,690 cases of radiation accidents in 71 subjects of the Russian Federation, in Forms No. 18 – 2,469 cases in 67 subjects, in radiation-hygienic passports of territories – 2,457 cases in 76 subjects. Differences in the structure of data provision have been established: in the data bank and Form No. 18 radiation accidents are classified, but at the same time the principles of classification coincide partially; there is no classification in the radiation-hygienic passport of territories. The analysis showed that no information on radiation accidents was received from four regions during the study period. Among the subjects that provided information, only six regions have coincidence of data on all sources. Some regions were identified where information was provided to some data bases but not to others. In five regions, a range of more than 50 cases was detected; the coefficient of variation in the number of radiation accidents between sources exceeded 33% in 53 subjects. The identified discrepancies demonstrate the lack of a systematic approach to the procedure for providing information on radiation accidents, which may be related to the failure to fully comply with the requirements for providing information to Rospotrebnadzor and the St. Petersburg Research Institute of Radiation Hygiene after Prof. P.V. Ramzaev, contradictions in the list of information to be provided in Rospotrebnadzor’s offices, and difficulties in determining by Rospotrebnadzor’s offices in the subjects of the Russian Federation what information is to be reported in this or that form of statistical observation.

Published: December 2023

Abstract

This study has utilised National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis 1 project meteorological data and the HYSPLIT model to extract the air parcel trajectories for selected historical extreme rainfall events in South Africa. The k-means unsupervised machine learning algorithm has been used to cluster the resulting trajectories, and from this, the spatial origin of moisture for each of the rainfall events has been determined. It has been demonstrated that rainfall events on the east coast with moisture originating from the Indian Ocean have distinctly larger average maximum daily rainfall magnitudes (279 mm) compared to those that occur on the west coast with Atlantic Ocean influences (149 mm) and those events occurring in the central plateau (150 mm) where moisture has been continentally recirculated. Further, this study has suggested new metrics by which the HYSPLIT trajectories may be assessed and demonstrated the applicability of trajectory clustering in a region not previously studied. This insight may in future facilitate improved early warning systems based on monitoring of atmospheric systems, and an understanding of rainfall magnitudes and origins can be used to improve the prediction of design floods for infrastructure design.
A socio-ecological evaluation of the conservation efforts in the Nevado de Toluca protected area, Mexico: Governmental performance and local community perception from a rural context
Authors: Caro Borrero Angela Piedad , Rivera Ramírez Karla Isabel , Carmona Jiménez Javier 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Protected Areas (PA) are the main conservation instrument in Latin America, but rural communities are rarely integrated into the decision-making. In Mexico, many conflicts related to PAs stem from guaranteeing equitable access to resources for local communities against private economic interests. The aim of this manuscript is to present a strategy to evaluate the functioning of the PA from a socio-ecological perspective, including: diagnosis, evaluation of the conservation instrument, and intervention proposal. The results show that the Nevado de Toluca PA was recategorized without adequate characterization of the problems facing its conservation. The impact has been biased towards the development of large-scale activities while local communities have been excluded. This scenario has resulted in a migration of local men to cities in search of work, while women and children face unequal management of natural resources. In terms of aquatic ecological quality, indicators show signs of degradation that have not been improved through the management plan. The activities proposed in the annual operational plans are unrealistic since they include no support and training. We propose participatory monitoring as a strategy for community empowerment in the use of water resources, as well as a cohesive element that reconciles government policies and local needs.

Abstract

Marine fungi communities play a crucial role in the recycling of nutrients, restoration of biological systems, and the overall functioning of ecosystems. While aquatic fungal communities do react to pollution, there is a significant lack of information regarding the changes in the fungal community's structure, caused by marine pollution. In this study, we aim to address this gap in knowledge by investigating the range and makeup of fungal species present in marine environments in a polluted bay in Tunisia, spanning a biodiversity hotspot (Monastir Bay). Sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region from culturable mycobiome and physicochemical parameters were investigated at seven sites in the bay. A total of 32 fungal taxa were identified at the genus and/or species levels and were assigned to four major groups (Aspergillacae 37.5%, Dothiomyceta 21.87%, Sordariamyceta 28.12%, and Yeasts 12.5%) with a remarkable predominance of Aspergillus genus. Assessment of the Shannon–Wiener diversity index and the Simpson dominance index revealed that the highest species diversity index (0.84) was recorded at the Kheniss site. Our results suggest the existence of diverse fungal communities, can be considered a useful community model for further ecological and evolutionary study of fungi in the bay.

Published: December 2023

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted global behavioral restrictions, impacting public mental health. Sentiment analysis, a tool for assessing individual and public emotions from text data, gained importance amid the pandemic. This study focuses on Japan’s early public health interventions during COVID-19, utilizing sentiment analysis in infodemiology to gauge public sentiment on social media regarding these interventions.

Objective
This study aims to investigate shifts in public emotions and sentiments before and after the first state of emergency was declared in Japan. By analyzing both user-generated tweets and retweets, we aim to discern patterns in emotional responses during this critical period.

Methods
We conducted a day-by-day analysis of Twitter (now known as X) data using 4,894,009 tweets containing the keywords “corona,” “COVID-19,” and “new pneumonia” from March 23 to April 21, 2020, approximately 2 weeks before and after the first declaration of a state of emergency in Japan. We also processed tweet data into vectors for each word, employing the Fuzzy-C-Means (FCM) method, a type of cluster analysis, for the words in the sentiment dictionary. We set up 7 sentiment clusters (negative: anger, sadness, surprise, disgust; neutral: anxiety; positive: trust and joy) and conducted sentiment analysis of the tweet groups and retweet groups.

Results
The analysis revealed a mix of positive and negative sentiments, with “joy” significantly increasing in the retweet group after the state of emergency declaration. Negative emotions, such as “worry” and “disgust,” were prevalent in both tweet and retweet groups. Furthermore, the retweet group had a tendency to share more negative content compared to the tweet group.

Conclusions
This study conducted sentiment analysis of Japanese tweets and retweets to explore public sentiments during the early stages of COVID-19 in Japan, spanning 2 weeks before and after the first state of emergency declaration. The analysis revealed a mix of positive (joy) and negative (anxiety, disgust) emotions. Notably, joy increased in the retweet group after the emergency declaration, but this group also tended to share more negative content than the tweet group. This study suggests that the state of emergency heightened positive sentiments due to expectations for infection prevention measures, yet negative information also gained traction. The findings propose the potential for further exploration through network analysis.

Актуальність. Аналіз динаміки медико-демографічних показників в Україні виявляє несприятливу демографічну картину з ознаками явищ депопуляції, що актуалізує вирішення пріоритетних завдань із збереження репродуктивного здоров’я не тільки жінок фертильного віку, а й чоловіків. Метою дослідження є ретроспективний аналіз формування структури та рівнів захворюваності, поширеності хвороб сечостатевої системи серед населення України в цілому та чоловічого населення, зокрема. Матеріали та методи. Матеріалами для дослідження слугували медико-демографічні дані офіційної статистичної звітності щодо захворюваності та поширеності хвороб за класом хвороб сечостатевої системи в розрізі основних адміністративних територій областей України та м. Києва за період 2010-2017 рр. з розподілом за статтю. Використані методи дослідження: системного підходу, бібліосемантичний, медико-статистичний, графічного аналізу, контент-аналізу. Результати. Аналіз гендерних аспектів формування захворюваності за класом хвороб сечостатевої системи виявив суттєве переважання як абсолютної кількості випадків вперше встановлених діагнозів за цим класом хвороб у жінок (у 5,5 рази (р<0,001)), так і відносних показників захворюваності за класом хвороб сечостатевої системи в розрахунку на 100 тис. відповідного населення (в 4,5 рази (р<0,001)). Наведена структура захворюваності жінок та чоловіків за означеним класом хвороб. Регіональні особливості захворюваності населення України за класом хвороб сечостатевої системи проявилися найвищими її рівнями за підсумками 2017 р. у Дніпропетровській (8 209,7) області та в м. Києві (6 980,5 на 100 тис. населення). Аналіз динаміки поширеності хвороб сечостатевої системи виявив зростання питомої ваги цього класу в загальній структурі поширеності хвороб серед населення України з 3,18 % у 2010 р. до 3,5 % у 2017 р. Регіональні особливості поширеності хвороб сечостатевої системи проявилися традиційно найвищими значеннями показника в м. Києві (16 270,5) та Дніпропетровській області (15 870,7) з мінімальним значенням показника в Луганській (4 906,6) та Закарпатській (5 745,6 на 100 тис. населення) областях. У структурі поширеності хвороб сечостатевої системи у чоловіків найбільшу питому вагу мали: хвороби передміхурової залози (35,6 %, або 1 810,9); інфекції нирок (22,7 %, або 1 155,3); хронічний пієлонефрит (21,1 %, або 1 071,0 на 100 тис. відповідного населення). Найвищі рівні поширеності хвороб передміхурової залози традиційно виявлялися в м. Києві (932,0 та 5 156,8 відповідно), Миколаївській (883,8 та 2 833,9 відповідно) та Харківській (749,0 та 3 107,3 на 100 тисяч чоловічого населення відповідно) областях. Висновки. Моніторинг регіональних, гендерних особливостей формування показників захворюваності, поширеності хвороб сечостатевої системи може стати аргументованим інформаційним підґрунтям для формування регіональних програм та заходів із збереження та зміцнення репродуктивного здоров’я серед чоловіків та жінок України.

Background
Basic health literacy and trust in physicians can influence medication adherence in patients receiving dialysis. However, how high-order health literacy is associated with medication adherence and how trust in physicians mediates this association remain unclear. We assessed the inter-relationships between health literacy, trust in physicians, and medication adherence. We investigated the mediating role of trust in physicians in the relationship between health literacy and medication adherence.

Methods
This multicenter cross-sectional study included Japanese adults receiving outpatient hemodialysis at six dialysis centers. Multidimensional health literacy was measured using the 14-item Functional, Communicative, and Critical Health Literacy scale. Trust in physicians was measured using the five-item Wake Forest Physician Trust scale. Medication adherence was measured using the 12-item Adherence Starts with Knowledge scale. A series of general linear models were created to analyze the associations between health literacy and Adherence Starts Knowledge scores with and without trust in physicians. Mediation analysis was performed to determine whether trust in physicians mediated this association.

Results
In total, 455 patients were analyzed. Higher functional and communicative health literacies were associated with less adherence difficulties (per 1-point higher: −1.79 [95% confidence interval (CI): −2.59 to −0.99] and −2.21 [95% CI: −3.45 to −0.96], respectively), whereas higher critical health literacy was associated with greater adherence difficulties (per 1-point higher: 1.69 [95% CI: 0.44 to 2.94]). After controlling for trust in physicians, the magnitude of the association between health literacies and medication adherence decreased. Trust in physicians partially mediated the association between functional or communicative health literacy and medication adherence (especially beliefs) and completely mediated the association between critical health literacy and medication adherence (especially behaviors).

Conclusions
Functional and communicative health literacies were positively associated with medication adherence, whereas critical health literacy was negatively associated with it. Each association was mediated by trust in physicians.
Strategi Pembinaan Aqidah dan Akhlak pada Anak Disabilitas (Tunagrahita) dI SLB Kota Banda Aceh
Authors: Umam Khairul 
Published: December 2023

Intellectually disabled children are children who have an intelligence level that is below average and has difficulty in adapting their behavior as they grow. SLB TNCC Banda Aceh is a special education program that aims to support the development and expression of the potential of students with special needs, including developing aqidah and morals. Therefore, the role of school principals and teachers is crucial in developing the faith and morals of children, especially tunagrahita children. The aims of the research are: 1) to find out strategies for fostering aqidah and morals in children with disabilities (Tunagrahita) at SLB TNCC Banda Aceh; 2) to find out the supporting and inhibiting factors for strategies for fostering faith and morals in children with disabilities (Tunagrahita) at SLB TNCC Banda Aceh. The research method used in this study is a descriptive-qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of 7 people, namely: the principal, 2 class teachers and 4 mentally retarded children. Data collection techniques were carried out using observation, interviews, and documentation. The research results found that 1) there are four strategies used by teachers in developing the aqidah and morals of tunagrahita children at SLB TNCC Banda Aceh City, those are through habituation, exemplary strategies, discipline strategies, and through mauidzah (giving advice) strategies. 2) There are several obstacles in the strategy of developing aqidah and morals for mentally retarded children at SLB TNCC Banda Aceh. Tunagrahita children are difficult to talk to because they are not very capable of speaking. Hence, the children prefer to remain silent, and it is also related to the background of the children, who come from a variety of different backgrounds and families, so they often bring behavioral patterns or traditions from the environment before they join the school. The solutions provided are: 1) Holding a meeting with the child's parents; this aims to guide parents on the best way to support their children who have special needs for mental retardation. 2) Implement training and habituation strategies, because with the habituation strategies that are implemented, children continue to repeat or practice the habits they do.
