Feminizacja, ale jaka? Rola kobiet w branży public relations w polsce na podstawie badań ilościowych
Authors: Szuba Przemysław , Tworzydło Dariusz , Gizicka Dorota 
Published: December 2023

Artykuł – oprócz kwerendy literatury w kontekście aktualnej sytuacji kobiet na rynku pracy ze szczególnym uwzględnieniu branży PR – obejmuje zagadnienia badawcze dotyczące struktury płci w branży public relations w Polsce wraz z analizą czynników warunkujących sytuację wyjściową. Jednostką analizy są dane demograficzno-zawodowe 1789 specjalistów ds. PR, które zostały zagregowane i poddane analizie statystycznej. Dane pochodzą z kilku projektów badawczych realizowanych przez autorów w latach 2017-2023. Kobiety stanowią w nich blisko 2/3 badanych, czyli jest to dominująca płeć, jeśli chodzi o zatrudnienie w branży PR. Dlatego w ujęciu ogólnej struktury zatrudnienia mamy do czynienia ze zjawiskiem feminizacji branżowej. Jednakże wysoki poziom sfeminizowania nie przekłada się na strukturę zarządczą. W tym wymiarze kobiety odgrywają już znacznie mniejsza rolę niż mężczyźni (22% względem 33%). To z kolei rodzi pytania o obowiązujące zasady równości płci, różnorodności i integracji, a także jest przyczynkiem do analizy poziomu doświadczenia środowiska zawodowego PR. W artykule opracowany został model mediacyjny, za pomocą którego autorzy starali się wyjaśnić zależności pomiędzy zajmowanym stanowiskiem, doświadczeniem zawodowym i płcią.
The Logic and Practical Path of Resilience-Based Emergency Governance in Chinese Universities
Authors: Cao Jing 
Published: December 2023

Resilience governance provides a new governance model for emergency management in higher education institutions facing major public crises. Higher education resilience governance, while achieving short-term objectives such as mitigating external impacts and maintaining core functions, enhances the enduring adaptability of higher education institutions to the increasingly changing natural and social environments. This transformation shifts the emergency management mode in higher education from reactive responses to proactive governance. In terms of value logic, resilience governance upholds the mission of higher education as the primary nurturing ground, ensuring fairness, quality, and sustainability in education. In terms of organizational logic, it emphasizes collaborative cooperation among higher education institutions, government, society, and the market, as well as the integration of functions within higher education institutions and relatively close connections among their personnel. In terms of institutional logic, it relies on both top-down institutional supply and bottom-up institutional demand to support effective participation, resulting in authoritative and complementary behavioral rules. In terms of action logic, it combines vertical coordination mechanisms and horizontal community collaboration to enhance the effectiveness of cooperative governance.
Therefore, the highest value should be placed on the safety of faculty and students, and education planning should be imbued with resilience. It starts with organizational adaptability to develop resilient institutions, focuses on orderly transitions to enhance the emergency management system in higher education, and centers on proactivity and collaboration to build a community of action for emergency governance in higher education.

Cryopreservation is a stressful process for sperm as it is associated with an increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Elevated ROS levels, which create an imbalance with antioxidant capacity, may result in membrane lipid peroxidation (LPO), protein damage and DNA fragmentation. This study aimed to determine whether membrane LPO and DNA fragmentation of frozen-thawed horse sperm relies upon the antioxidant activity, including enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), catalase (CAT), and paraoxonase type 1 (PON1)); non-enzymatic antioxidant capacity (Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), plasma ferric reducing antioxidant capacity (FRAP), and cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC)); and the oxidative stress index (OSI), of their seminal plasma (SP). Based on total motility and plasma membrane integrity (SYBR14+/PI−) after thawing, ejaculates were hierarchically (p &amp;lt; 0.001) clustered into two groups of good (GFE) and poor (PFE) freezability. LPO and DNA fragmentation (global DNA breaks) were higher (p &amp;lt; 0.05) in PFE than in GFE, with LPO and DNA fragmentation (global DNA breaks) after thawing showing a positive relationship (p &amp;lt; 0.05) with SP-OSI levels and ROS production. In addition, sperm motility and membrane integrity after thawing were negatively (p &amp;lt; 0.05) correlated with the activity levels of SP antioxidants (PON1 and TEAC). The present results indicate that LPO and DNA fragmentation in frozen-thawed horse sperm vary between ejaculates. These differences could result from variations in the activity of antioxidants (PON1 and TEAC) and the balance between the oxidant and antioxidant components present in the SP.
The morphodynamics and sedimentology of a seasonally controlled microtidal tidal inlet: the Nariva River tidal inlet, Cocos Bay, Trinidad

Abstract
The geomorphology and sedimentology of the Nariva River tidal-inlet complex, a microtidal fluvially influenced tidal-inlet complex, was analyzed. The complex comprises a recurved spit, an ebb-tidal channel, and an ebb-tidal delta. Morphological trends in the spatio-temporal evolution of the inlet complex were observed and recorded from Google Earth™ timelapse satellite images taken from 2003 to 2019. The two-dimensional internal architecture of the inlet complex and the sedimentary succession of the recurved spit, an ebb spit, the swash platform (of the ebb-tidal delta), a mouth bar (associated with the wet-season river-dominated inlet complex erosion), the ebb-tidal channel, and the adjacent foreshore were observed and documented from six shallow sedimentary cores.
The Nariva River inlet width ranges from 17 to 40 m through its seasonal evolution, has a tidal prism of ∼ 2.17 × 105 m3, a cross-sectional area of 29.52 m2, and a depth ∼ 1.4 m (calculated at peak dry season near the inlet throat). The inlet complex undergoes an annual geomorphological evolution linked to the seasonally induced migration of the fluvial-to-marine transition zone (FMTZ). Increased fluvial discharge during the wet and hurricane seasons results in the basinward migration of the FMTZ rendering the inlet river dominated and resulting in the erosion of the inlet complex. During the dry season, low fluvial discharge, tidal dominance, and fair-weather conditions promote sedimentation in the inlet and the redevelopment of the inlet complex. The inlet has a complex (CX) internal architecture (fill pattern) defined by the laterally migrating recurved spit and ebb spit on their updrift margin, and conformable, mounded elements on their downdrift (e.g., mouth bar, swash platform, and foreshore). Two sedimentary successions were developed for ebb-tidal-delta deposits: off-axis of the ebb-tidal channel and on-axis. The off-axis succession is considerably similar to the adjacent foreshore-to-shoreface succession which can pose a challenge when attempting to identify these deposits in the rock record. The on-axis succession, however, despite thickness variability, showed a positive correlation to studied mesotidal tide-dominated inlet successions.

Abstract
Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a serious pest of several summer crops in hot and dry climates with diverse cryptic species complex worldwide. Among 7 major clades of B. tabaci; Asia-II is predominant in the cotton zone of Punjab-Pakistan. Cotton is one of the favorite hosts of B. tabaci, where it feeds and spread different plant viruses. In Pakistan, the primary approach used to manage B. tabaci in the cotton environment is through the use of synthetic pesticides. A vital tool for the effective management of B. tabaci is the monitoring of insecticidal resistance. Different cotton field strains were collected from the four major cotton growing districts of South-Punjab to assess their genetic variability and resistance levels compared with the laboratory susceptible population against most commonly used insecticides during the years 2020 and 2021. Leaf-dip bioassays were performed on 2nd instar nymphal (N2) stage; while adult bioassays were conducted on G1 stage on field collected populations. Genetic analysis of mtCOI revealed that all the populations were belonged to Asia II-1 clade. A mixture of three haplotypes of Asia II-I including haplotypes-2, haplotype-3 and haplotype-4 was identified from Jampur and Bahawalpur samples. However, haplotype-4 and haplotype-3 were identified from Multan population while Vehari samples comprised of haplotype-4 and haplotype-2. Buprofezin (RR ranged 25.75–36.71), pyriproxyfen (RR ranged 7.98–12.78) and diafenthiuron (RR ranged 20.59–28.12) were least efficient products in adult bioassays and had moderate to low level of resistance. However, spirotetramat and flonicamid both were relatively effective against adults with low to very low resistance during both the years. Pyriproxyfen demonstrated least efficacy for reducing adult emergence followed by flonicamid and buprofezin with moderate to very low resistance ratio respectively. In contrast spirotetramat (RR ranged 2.20–4.01), was highly effective against nymphs followed by diafenthiuron (RR ranged 4.63–7.68), having very low resistance ratio. However an upward trend of resistance development was observed against all the five tested insecticides during both the monitoring years. Current study concluded that different mitotypes/haplotypes of B. tabaci have various level of insecticidal resistance to the old conventional insecticides. These results establish a regional baseline that can serve as a reference for future monitoring and management of B. tabaci resistance to the tested insecticides.

Abstract
Background: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a leading cause of disability worldwide across domains of health and cognition, affecting overall quality of life. Approximately one third of individuals with depression do not fully respond to treatments (e.g., conventional antidepressants, psychotherapy) and alternative strategies are needed. Recent early phase trials suggest psilocybin may be a safe and efficacious intervention with rapid-acting antidepressant properties. Psilocybin is thought to exert therapeutic benefits by altering brain network connectivity and inducing neuroplastic changes that endure for weeks post-treatment. Although early clinical results are encouraging, psilocybin’s acute neurobiological effects on neuroplasticity have not been fully investigated. We aim to examine for the first time how psilocybin acutely (intraday) and subacutely (weeks) alters functional brain networks implicated in depression.
Methods: Thirty-six participants diagnosed with MDD or Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD) will be recruited from a tertiary mood disorders clinic and undergo 1:1 randomization into either an experimental or control arm. Participants will be given either 25 mg psilocybin or active placebo (100 mg niacin) for the first treatment. Three weeks later, those in the control arm will cross over and all participants will receive 25 mg psilocybin. We will investigate whether treatments are associated with changes in arterial spin labelling and blood oxygenation level dependent contrast neuroimaging assessments at acute and subacute timepoints. Primary outcomes include testing whether psilocybin demonstrates acute changes in 1) cerebral blood flow and 2) functional brain activity in networks associated with mood regulation and depression when compared to placebo. Secondary outcomes include changes in MADRS score over time compared to placebo, and changes across complementary clinical psychiatric, cognitive, and functional scales from baseline to final follow-up. Serum peripheral neurotrophic and inflammatory biomarkers will be collected at baseline to examine relationships with clinical response, and neuroimaging measures.
Discussion: This study will investigate the acute and additive subacute neuroplastic effects of psilocybin on brain networks affected by depression using advanced serial neuroimaging methods. Results will improve our understanding of psilocybin’s antidepressant mechanisms versus placebo response and whether biological measures of brain function can provide early predictors of treatment response.

Hierarchical diversity partitioning of microscopic epibiont community on intertidal molluscan shells and inert surfaces over three geographic regions in Japan
Authors: Takada Yoshitake , Kanavillil Nandakumar 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Microscopic epibionts on molluscan shells are a component of the biodiversity of intertidal coastal areas. Because molluscan shells are discrete habitats for the epibiont community, and the molluscan basibionts belong to the local community, epibiont diversity can be evaluated hierarchically by basibiont categories including species. To evaluate the structure of epibiont diversity and effects of taxonomic resolution on the evaluation, epibionts on molluscan shells and inert surfaces were investigated at three geographically distant sites in Japan. In total, 95 species-level taxonomic units of epibionts were obtained from 31 basibiont molluscan species and inert surfaces (plastics and rock chips). The density and the species richness at the site of the lowest latitude were significantly lower than those at the other sites. The epibiont community differred between the three sites, although the major portion of the epibionts were diatoms. Between-site diversity contributed most of the total diversity of the species richness and Simpson diversity in the five levels of the hierarchical partitioning: sample (individual basibiont), basibiont species (molluscan species including rock chips and plastics), surface group (bivalves, chitons + limpets, globose gastropods, and inert surfaces), site, and the total. The taxonomic resolution did not markedly affect the variability of communities between the three sites, although the taxon richness reduced to 51 in the genus-level analysis. The lower taxonomic resolution (genus level) however increased the contribution of the within-sample and decreased the contribution of β diversities at the higher hierarchies, leading to a possible overestimation of biotic homogenization between the communities.
An environmentally friendly cement: Preparation and Property Studies of Ferric Sulfoaluminate Cement Based on Bayer Red Mud and Phosphogypsum

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The Bayer red mud and phosphogypsum accumulation has caused significant environmental contamination. However, practical and effective resource utilization technologies are still lacking currently. This study aims to develop ferric sulfoaluminate cement (FSAC) using low-cost materials including Bayer red mud, phosphogypsum, and limestone while investigating the influence of different red mud dosages on cement mineral formation, workability, and mechanical properties. The impact of phosphogypsum on FSAC properties, including the hydration process, workability, mechanical properties, hydration products, and morphology, is investigated. It discovers that the C4AF formation in clinker increases as the dosage of Bayer red mud rises. During the calcination process, the maximum replacement of Al3+ in C4A3\(\stackrel{\text{-}}{\text{S}}\) by Fe3+ generates a crystal transformation, leading to more highly reactive cubic C4A3\(\stackrel{\text{-}}{\text{S}}\) minerals (C4A3\(\stackrel{\text{-}}{\text{S}}\)-C) formation, thereby accelerating FSAC hydration kinetics with enhanced early strength and shorter setting time. When phosphogypsum replaces natural gypsum as a retarder agent, P2O5 forms a Ca3(PO4)2 protective film on cement particle surfaces during hydration, and PO43- readily generates AlPO4 with Al3+, reducing the concentration of Al3+ in the system, slowing down hydration, and decreasing the driving force for AFt generation, which increases structure densification. When the Bayer red mud and phosphogypsum contents are 17.64% and 9.21%, respectively, and the dosage of retarder phosphogypsum is set at 20%, the prepared FSAC exhibits satisfactory performance conforming to engineering requirements, showing a significant curing effect on heavy metal ions. It demonstrates compressive / flexural strengths of 34.6 MPa / 4.6 MPa at 3 days and 52.3 MPa / 6.2 MPa at 28 days.
Increased extinction probability and altered physiological characteristics in carbamate tolerant Daphnia magna

Published: December 2023

Abstract
We evaluated the physiological characteristics of chemical-tolerant cladocerans. Over the course of 26 generations (F25), D. magna was continuously exposed to pirimicarb (carbamate) solutions (0, 3.8, 7.5, and 15 µg/L) in sub-lethal or lethal levels. The 48 h EC50 values (29.2–29.9 µg/L) for 7.5 and 15 µg/L exposure groups were found to be two times higher than that in the control (17.2 µg/L). Subsequently, we investigated whether the extinction probability changed when the chemical-tolerant daphnids were fed two different types of food, Chlorella vulgaris and Synechococcus leopoliensis. Furthermore, we ascertained how chemical tolerance influences respiration and depuration rates. The 48 h EC50 value was positively related to the extinction probability when the daphnids were fed S. leopoliensis. Because the measured lipid content of S. leopoliensis was three times lower than that of C. vulgaris, the tolerant daphnids struggled under nutrient-poor conditions. Respiration rates across all pirimicarb treatment groups were higher than those in the control group, suggesting that respiration efficiency may decrease in tolerant clones. Since the pirimicarb depuration rate for 7.5 µg/L exposure groups was higher than that in the control, the altered metabolic/excretion rate may be one factor for acquiring chemical tolerance. These altered physiological characteristics are crucial parameters for evaluating the mechanisms of chemical tolerance and associated fitness costs.
Removal of neonicotinoids present in secondary effluents by ferrate(VI)-based oxidation processes
Authors: Real Francisco J , Acero Juan L , Matamoros Esther 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Neonicotinoids are a new class of insecticides derived from nicotine. However, their persistence in the environment and potential harmful effects have raised some concerns and proposed several measures for remediation. The main five neonicotinoids mainly used are: thiamethoxam (THM), imidacloprid (IMI), clothianidin (CLO), thiacloprid (THC), and acetamiprid (ACE). The aim of this work was to study the reactivity of these neonicotinoids with ferrate (Fe(VI)), focused on the determination of the second-order rate constants and the effect of pH and the organic matter present, and to evaluate the improvements in neonicotinoid removal reached by the ferrate-based processes Fe(VI)/peroxymonosulfate and Fe(VI)/sulfite. The most reactive compound with Fe(VI) was THC, followed by CLO and THM. ACE did not significantly react with Fe(VI). The second-order rate constants obtained at different pH confirm this trend. The optimum pH for efficient removal of the compounds was around 8, considering the predominance of the most reactive species HFeO4- and the decreasing self-decomposition of Fe(VI) with pH. The oxidation of the selected pollutants in secondary effluents by single Fe(VI) was rather slow, and only THC could be efficiently removed. The additional presence of peroxymonosulfate (Fe(VI)/PMS system) slightly increased the removal of neonicotinoids due to the formation of hydroxyl and sulfate radicals, being both the main reactive oxygen species. Finally, the additional presence of sulfite (Fe(VI)/sulfite system) considerably increased the oxidation rate of selected pollutants, with enhanced formation of hydroxyl and, especially, sulfate radicals. Results suggest that Fe(VI)/sulfite system can be applied efficiently to remove all the neonicotinoids.
Carbon Emission Prediction of Construction Industry in Sichuan Province Based on the GA-BP Model
Authors: Peng Shanbi , Tan Jiayi , Ma Hongyan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The reduction of the carbon emissions of construction industry is urgent. Therefore, it is essential to accurately predict the carbon emissions of the provincial construction industry, which can support differentiation emission reduction policies in China. This paper proposes a carbon emission prediction model that optimizes the back propagation (BP) neural network by genetic algorithm (GA) to predict carbon emission of construction industry, or “GA-BP”. To begin with, the operational carbon emissions of construction industry in Sichuan Province from 2000 to 2020 are calculated by the emission factor method. Further, the electricity correction factor is introduced to eliminate the regional difference in electricity carbon emission coefficient. Finally, four factors are selected by the grey correlation analysis method to predict the operational carbon emission of construction industry in Sichuan Province from 2021 to 2025. The results show that the operational carbon emissions of construction industry in Sichuan Province have been trending up in the past two decades, with an average increase rate of 10.51%. The GA-BP model is a high precision prediction model to predict carbon emissions of construction industry. The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of the model is only 6.303%, and its coefficient of determination is 0.853. Moreover, the operational carbon emissions of construction industry in Sichuan Province will reach 8,891.97 million tons of CO2 in 2025. The GA-BP model can effectively predict the future operational carbon emissions of construction industry in Sichuan Province, which provides a new idea for the green and sustainable development of construction industry in Sichuan Province.
