Abstract
Thrips is a very small insect pest that causes severe economic damage to important crops all over the world. Owing to their morphological complexities, they are often difficult to identify. A molecular tool was developed for easy identification of different species of the same organism using DNA barcoding by utilizing the sequence variation in the mitochondrial COI gene region. We studied barcode sequence variation among five thrips species, T.palmi, T.florum, T.hawaiiensis, Ayyariachaetophora, and Scirtothrips dorsalis in Kerala state, India. Neighbor-Joining analysis revealed the highest similarity sequences between Thripsflorum and Thripshawaiiensis. Data regarding specimens was deposited into the BOLD database. Unique IDs and barcodes were generated. The percentage of genetic distance computed within T. florum was upto 0.005%. The distance between T. florum and T. hawaiiensis was 0.003–0.005%. The distance between A. chaetophora and T. palmi was 0.259 to 0.267%. Phylogeny analysis has distinctly laid out the fact that the two species T. hawaiienesis and T. florum are closely related species. These unique barcodes designed for each thrips species could be used as a tool for their identification.

Published: November 2023

Abstract

Background
Small and medium-sized hospitals, which account for 60% of the nursing workforce across all healthcare institutions, play a crucial role in enhancing peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) practices. This study aimed to identify the extent to which the PIVC practice knowledge of nurses, the nursing working environment, and the patient safety-culture perception affect PIVC practices and thereby provide basic data for improving the PIVC practices in small and medium-sized hospitals.
Methods
This study had a descriptive research design to identify the factors affecting PIVC nursing practices in small and medium-sized hospitals. Questionnaires returned by 149 nurses collected data on general characteristics, practical knowledge of PIVC nursing, nursing working environment, patient safety-culture perception, and PIVC practices. The questionnaire data were analysed using descriptive statistics, the independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé’s test, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression.
Results
The mean score for PIVC practices was 4.60. The level of PIVC practices was significantly correlated with the practical knowledge of PIVC nursing and the patient safety-culture perception. Length of clinical experience, practical knowledge of PIVC nursing and patient safety-culture perception were significant factors affecting the PIVC practices, with these variables explaining 26.2% of the variance therein.
Conclusions
The PIVC practices of nurses in small and medium-sized hospitals can be improved by providing education and training based on the latest scientific evidence to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and skills, and to establish and spread a continuous institutional safety-culture perception and thereby strengthen patient safety-culture perception .

Abstract

There is a lack of objective evaluation indicators and methods for comparing the uniqueness of plant communities in different urban parks. In this study, we propose two uniqueness evaluation indicators for woody plant communities in urban parks based on the ecological importance value (IV): the mean non-overlapping IV (MNIV) and the local contribution to beta diversity based on IV (LCBD1). Subsequently, we investigated and evaluated the diversity and uniqueness of woody plant communities in eight hill parks (numbered Parks 1‒8) in Qingdao. A total of 101 woody plant species were found, with an average of 23.88 ± 5.96 species found in each hill park. The Shannon‒Wiener index and Pielou index of woody plants in Qingdao hill parks were in the range of 2.54‒3.40 and 0.94‒0.98, respectively. The results of MNIV, LCBD1, principal coordinate analysis and cluster analysis all indicate that Park 4 and Park 8 are the two most unique woody plant communities among the eight Qingdao hilltop parks. There was a very significant (P < 0.01) positive correlation between MNIV and LCBD1. MNIV and LCBD1were significantly (P < 0.05) negatively correlated with the IV of Pinaceae plants and significantly (P < 0.05) positively correlated with the IV of Anacardiaceae, Cannabiaceae, and Ginkgoaceae plants. In conclusion, this study offers indicators and methods for assessing the uniqueness of woody plant communities in urban parks and other green spaces. This is a valuable contribution to the research and evaluation of park green spaces.

Abstract
Background
Different mosquito control strategies have been implemented to mitigate or prevent mosquito-related public health situations. Modern mosquito control largely relies on multiple approaches, including targeted, specific treatments. Given all this, it is becoming increasingly important to supplement these activities with rapid and mobile diagnostic capacities for mosquito-borne diseases. We aimed to create and test the applicability of a rapid diagnostic system for West Nile virus that can be used under field conditions.
Methods
In this pilot study various types of adult mosquito traps were applied within the regular mosquito monitoring activity framework for mosquito control. Then the captured specimens were used for the detection of West Nile virus RNA under field conditions with a portable qRT-PCR approach within 3–4 hours. Then positive samples were subjected to NGS sequencing in the laboratory to obtain genome information of the virus. We implemented phylogenetic analysis to characterize circulating strains.
Results
54 mosquito pools were processed and tested for the presence of West Nile virus, of which 2 pools were positive, containing specimens of Culex pipiens and Anopheles atroparvus mosquito species. As a result of subsequent sequencing, we present the complete genome of West Nile virus.
Conclusion
The rapid identification of infected mosquitoes is the most important component of quick response adulticide or larvicide treatments to prevent human cases. The conceptual framework of real-time surveillance can be optimized for other pathogens and situations not only in relation to West Nile virus. We present an early warning system for mosquito-borne diseases and demonstrate its application to aid rapid-response mosquito control actions.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Purpose: There have been significant advances in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (BC) over the past years, and long-term outcomes after a diagnosis of brain metastases (BM) are lacking. We aimed to identify predictors of brain metastases at initial breast cancer diagnosis, describe overall survival (OS) in the past decade, and identify factors associated with OS after BM diagnosis.
Methods: We evaluated patients with de novo stage IV BC using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database from 2010-2019. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to assess predictors of brain metastases at initial breast cancer diagnosis. OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and log rank test was used to compare differences between groups. Cox regression was used to assess the associations of several variables with OS.
Results: 1,939 patients with brain metastases at initial breast cancer diagnosis were included. Factors associated with this presentation were grade III/IV tumors, ductal histology, hormone receptor (HR)-negative/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive subtype, and extracranial metastases. Patients with HR-positive/HER2-positive disease had the longest OS (median 18 months) and 12.2% were alive at 8 years. Factors associated with shorter OS included older age, lower income, triple-negative subtype, higher grade, and visceral metastases.
Conclusion: Over the last decade, the median OS of brain metastases at initial breast cancer diagnosis remained poor; however, a substantial minority survive 5 or more years, with rates higher in patients with HER2-positive tumors. In addition to tumor subtype, OS varied according to age, extracranial metastases, and sociodemographic factors.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
This research focuses on developing a novel ransomware detection methodology leveraging the capabilities of the open source large language model LLaMA-7b and image analysis of Portable Executable (PE) files. By transforming PE files into grayscale bitmap images and analyzing these using the LLaMA-7b model, the study introduces an innovative approach in cybersecurity. The model demonstrates high accuracy in distinguishing ransomware from benignware, with a significant true positive rate and minimal false positives and negatives. This method overcomes the limitations of traditional static and dynamic analysis, proving effective against modern ransomware variants. The findings suggest that integrating advanced technologies like LLMs in cybersecurity offers a promising direction for enhancing ransomware detection and prevention.
The Equity Impact of the Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL) in the UK
Authors: Saksena Rhea , Dahiya Aditya 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background
The Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL), announced in the UK in 2016, aimed to reduce SSB consumption. A criticism is its economic regressivity as those with lower incomes pay a greater proportion compared to higher incomes. We use the Extended Cost-Effectiveness Analysis methodology to analyze the equity impact of the SDIL.
Methods
We computed overall change in SSB consumption from the SDIL by income group and levy charges as a proportion of SSB expenditure per group. We considered averted cases of obesity and diabetes prevalence across income groups. We analysed averted direct and indirect costs due to reduction in health costs across income groups.
Results
After introduction of the SDIL, additional SSB costs were £42,334,968 for the lowest income tertile, £26,238,564 for the middle tertile and £35,474,062 for the highest tertile. 87,500 overweight cases and 59,900 obesity cases were averted in the highest income tertile; 82,300 overweight cases and 47,700 obesity cases in middle tertile; and 145,300 overweight cases and 97,300 obesity cases in lowest tertile. Direct diabetes cost savings due to cases averted annually is £18.52 million with greatest savings of £8.18 million in the lowest income tertile, £6.29 million in the middle tertile and £4.1 million in the highest tertile. The indirect savings saved include the savings of reduced absenteeism is £24.16 million overall, with greatest savings in the lowest income tertile of £10.66 million, £8.2 million in the middle tertile and £5.3 million in the highest tertile. Pension savings were calculated to be £23.5 million, £18.1 million, and £11.7 million across income tertiles lowest to highest respectively. Savings due to reduced expenditure on social welfare were £8.4 million saved overall, with £3.75 million saved in the lowest income tertile, £2.88 million in the middle tertile and £1.86 million in the highest income tertile.
Conclusion
We found that the distributional impact of these factors across income tertiles demonstrates that the SDIL is not regressive as is assumed with many SSB taxes. The net savings are greatest in those of the lowest income tertile, and the net costs are greatest in those of highest income tertile.

Authors: Elfaki Imadeldin , Mir Rashid , Tayeb Faris , Alalawy Adel I. , Barnawi Jameel , Dabla Pradeep Kumar , Moawadh Mamdoh Shafig 
Published: November 2023

Aim:
To evaluate the associations of the pathogenic variants in Kruppel-like Factor
14 (KLF 14) and Adiponectin (ADIPOQ) with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus
(T2DM).

Background:
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a pandemic metabolic disease characterized
by increased blood sugar and caused by resistance to insulin in peripheral tissues and damage to
pancreatic beta cells. Kruppel-like Factor 14 (KLF-14) is proposed to be a regulator of metabolic
diseases, such as diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity. Adiponectin (ADIPOQ) is an adipocytokine
produced by the adipocytes and other tissues and was reported to be involved in
T2DM.

Objectives:
To study the possible association of the KLF-14 rs972283 and ADIPOQ-rs266729
with the risk of T2DM in the Saudi population.

Methods:
We have evaluated the association of KLF-14 rs972283 C>T and ADIPOQ-rs266729
C>G SNV with the risk to T2D in the Saudi population using the Amplification Refractory Mutation
System PCR (ARMS-PCR), and blood biochemistry analysis. For the KLF-14 rs972283
C>T SNV we included 115 cases and 116 healthy controls, and ADIPOQ-rs266729 C>G SNV,
103 cases and 104 healthy controls were included.

Results:
Results indicated that the KLF-14 rs972283 GA genotype and A allele were associated
with T2D risk with OR=2.14, p-value= 0.014 and OR=1.99, p-value=0.0003, respectively. Results
also ADIPOQ-rs266729 CG genotype and C allele were associated with an elevated T2D
risk with an OR=2.53, p=0.003 and OR=1.66, p-value =0.012, respectively.

Conclusion:
We conclude that SNVs in KLF-14 and ADIPOQ are potential loci for T2D risk.
Future large-scale studies to verify these findings are recommended. These results need further
verifications in protein functional and large-scale case control studies before being introduced
for genetic testing.

Published: November 2023

The aims of this article to analyze and evaluate soybean self-sufficiency and import policies in Indonesia through policy simulations for the development of soybean self-sufficiency and imports in Indonesia. The data used in this study are annual secondary data in the form of a time series from 1995 to 2020. This research uses descriptive analysis methods, simultaneous equation models (2SLS) and alternative policy simulations. The results shows that The GDP per capita in Indonesia and the considerable 5% increase in the price of soya beans are just two of the favorable factors influencing imports. However, it also demonstrates that there are no external variables influencing Indonesia's export of soy beans. The yield of soy beans is also positively and significantly impacted by the area of the land. On the other hand, Indonesia's soya bean net export is negative and significant. There are several alternative scenarios for Indonesia's soybean policy, including the escalation of land-size (20%), GDP per capita (30%), and official exchange rate (10%). The result of the policy simulation shows that the land-size is important factor to encouraging Indonesian soybean self-sufficiency due to essential input factors.

The postmodernism perspective may influence the interpretation of archives which leads to archival discourse. This study aims to investigate the postmodernism perspective of archives in the knowledge production process in a more impartial and democratic way.
Data Collection Methods. This study used a qualitative approach through literature study.
Results and Discussion. The postmodernism perspective has opened up new viewpoints on the role and function of archives in the knowledge production process for searching and reading archives in a more diverse manner. In this study, several discussed archives were related to human rights, community engagement, accountability, and power relations, as well as social and transitional justice. The postmodernism perspective of archives as intellectual control in the production of knowledge through interdisciplinary collaboration and as one of the sustainable international projects may establish intellectual networks between countries.
Conclusion. The postmodernism perspective has provoked new ideas and expanded the discourse on archives needed in the development of the archival field. Archivists as well as historians play a new role as users of archives who have a responsibility in intellectual control to write democratic historical narratives.
