Sources of valuable traits for the selection of varieties and hybrids of agricultural crops on the Yaltushkiv EBS
Authors: Orlov S. D. , Kornieieva M. O. , Hrytsyshyna L. H. 
Published: December 2023

Purpose. To identify sources of economic and valuable traits for the breeding process of industrial, grain and bioenergy crops at the Yaltushkivska Experimental Breeding Station of the Institute of Bioenergy Crops and Sugar Beet of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences.
Methods. Hybridization, selection, field tests, analytical, mathematical and statistical.
Results. The best breeding genotypes of beets of foreign and domestic selection that are the donors of valuable traits, are concentrated at the Yaltushkivska EBS. The best hybrid combinations created on the basis of the Yaltushkivska EBS materials and evaluated in the variety test under the Beta cross program significantly exceeded the group standard: in yield (103.6–114.9%), sugar content (96.4–105.7%), sugar yield (110.1–110.8%). A highly productive buckwheat variety ‘Yuliana’ with a yield of 2.2 t/ha and a protein content of 15.0% was created and submitted for state variety testing. The best highly productive and energy valuable varieties of switchgrass were selected for cultivation in areas of insufficient and unstable soil moisture, which ensure the yield of dry biomass at the level of 7.5–16.2 t/ha, the yield of solid biofuel of 8.2–17.2 t/ha, and energy of 112.5–243 GJ/ha. Genotypes from the Miscanthus genus have been identified, which combine signs of tolerance to osmotic and salt stress and high energy yield.
Conclusions. Selected sources of breeding-valuable traits became the basis for creating varieties and hybrids of agricultural crops (sugar beet ‘Barskyi’, ‘Chereshnevyi’, ‘Ruthenia 11’, ‘Ruthenia 12’, ‘Ruthenia 13’, etc., buckwheat ‘Yuliana’, switchgrass ‘Morozko’ and ‘Liadovske’ and varieties of miscanthus resistant to abiotic factors of the environment). Breeding genotypes and original lines of these crops were transferred to the National Center of Plant Genetic Resources of Ukraine.

Published: December 2023

Esse artigo buscou averiguar a situação vacinal, o conhecimento e as práticas de prevenção adotadas por estudantes de odontologia em relação a hepatite B. Para tal, foi realizada uma revisão de literatura nas bases de dados Pubmed e Scielo utilizando os descritores: “Hepatite B”, “Estudantes de odontologia”, “Imunização”. Após aplicar os critérios de inclusão e exclusão, 11 artigos entre os anos de 2018 e 2023 foram selecionados para discussão. Percebeu-se que o nível de conhecimento e práticas adotadas contra a hepatite B pelos acadêmicos de odontologia é insuficiente e a cobertura vacinal entre eles sofreu um declínio. Logo, dentro das limitações deste estudo, foi possível observar que a cobertura vacinal, o conhecimento e práticas dos estudantes de odontologia no Brasil e no mundo acerca da Hepatite B é insatisfatório. Sugere-se a necessidade de ampliar os conhecimentos sobre promoção e prevenção de riscos ocupacionais na graduação bem como incentivar a ampliação da cobertura vacinal.

Abstract. Between 2018 and 2022, four pearl farming Tuamotu atolls of French Polynesia were monitored with autonomous oceanographic instruments to measure the hydrodynamics of atoll lagoons and the ocean–lagoon water exchanges. These surveys were conducted within the framework of the ANR-funded MANA (Management of Atolls) project and its extensions to additional sites. The overarching goal was to improve knowledge on the processes influencing the spat collection of the pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera, the oyster species used to produce black pearls. These data sets are also critical for the calibration and validation of 3D high spatial resolution hydrodynamic models used to study oyster larval dispersal within lagoons. The observational strategies focused on the characterization of ocean–lagoon exchanges through passes and hoa (i.e., shallow reef flats), lagoon circulation, incident waves breaking on the forereef, water elevation inside the lagoon as well as spatial temperature variability. Chronologically, the investigated atolls were first Raroia Atoll with 9 months of measurements between May 2018 and March 2019 during which the MALIS1 and MALIS2 cruises on-board the R/V ALIS took place. It was followed by a 4 month deployment in Takapoto Atoll (November 2021 to March 2022). In late April 2022, Apataki Atoll was instrumented until end of July, followed by Takaroa measurements between July and October 2022. Apataki (Leg2) and Takaroa Atoll were conjointly instrumented during the MALIS 3 oceanographic cruise. Altogether, those multi-atoll data bring a worldwide unique oceanographic atoll data set that is useful for addressing local pearl farming questions but potentially beneficial for other fundamental and applied investigations. Each data set was post-processed, quality controlled and converted into NetCDF format. Files are available in open source into dedicated repositories in the SEANOE marine data platform.

Published: December 2023

Abstract. We have assembled 2 851 702 nearly cloud-free cutout images (sized 144 km × 144 km) of sea surface temperature (SST) data from the entire 2012–2020 Level-2 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) dataset to perform a quantitative comparison to the ocean model output from the MIT General Circulation Model (MITgcm). Specifically, we evaluate outputs from the LLC4320 (LLC, latitude–longitude–polar cap) 148∘ global-ocean simulation for a 1-year period starting on 17 November 2011 but otherwise matched in geography and the day of the year to the VIIRS observations. In lieu of simple (e.g., mean, standard deviation) or complex (e.g., power spectrum) statistics, we analyze the cutouts of SST anomalies with an unsupervised probabilistic autoencoder (PAE) trained to learn the distribution of structures in SST anomaly (SSTa) on ∼ 10–80 km scales (i.e., submesoscale to mesoscale). A principal finding is that the LLC4320 simulation reproduces, over a large fraction of the ocean, the observed distribution of SSTa patterns well, both globally and regionally. Globally, the medians of the structure distributions match to within 2σ for 65 % of the ocean, despite a modest, latitude-dependent offset. Regionally, the model outputs reproduce mesoscale variations in SSTa patterns revealed by the PAE in the VIIRS data, including subtle features imprinted by variations in bathymetry. We also identify significant differences in the distribution of SSTa patterns in several regions: (1) in an equatorial band equatorward of 15∘; (2) in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), especially in the eastern half of the Indian Ocean; and (3) in the vicinity of the point at which western boundary currents separate from the continental margin. It is clear that region 3 is a result of premature separation in the simulated western boundary currents. The model output in region 2, the southern Indian Ocean, tends to predict more structure than observed, perhaps arising from a misrepresentation of the mixed layer or of energy dissipation and stirring in the simulation. The differences in region 1, the equatorial band, are also likely due to model errors, perhaps arising from the shortness of the simulation or from the lack of high-frequency and/or wavenumber atmospheric forcing. Although we do not yet know the exact causes for these model–data SSTa differences, we expect that this type of comparison will help guide future developments of high-resolution global-ocean simulations.

Published: December 2023

This research study aims to explore the impact of political skills on perceived employability, focusing on the mediating effect of career self-efficacy among faculty of higher education institutes in Pakistan. By examining the employability issues faced by faculty in Pakistan’s higher education institutes, this study shed light on the challenges and opportunities for professional development in this domain. The survey was conducted using an administered questionnaire. A sample of N= 340 was selected through convenience sampling technique, ensuring representation from various higher education institutes of Pakistan. Data was collected from respondents through online Google forms. The questionnaires determine three variables: perceived employability, career self-efficacy, and political skills.
The results indicated that career self-efficacy has a mediating role between political skills and perceived employability. Regression analysis also confirmed that political skills are positively correlated with perceived employability. Faculty members in higher education institutions should prioritize Self-managed career behaviors, such as developing career goals and implementing career tactics, as a means of enhancing their employability. In addition, management should launch formal and informal training programs for employees to strengthen feeling of success and career development. Providing employees with sufficient support and resources can help them improve their career self-efficacy and ensure their future employability.

Late Medieval Central Greece in Turmoil: Thessaly, Thirteenth to Fifteenth Centuries C.E.
Authors: Savvides Alexios G. C. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Thessaly’s importance in the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries, within the framework of the study of medieval Greek history in the final phase of the later Byzantine period (1204–1461/1479), warrants its bibliographical promotion, so to speak, as well as its placement alongside the other Byzantine exiled states of the post-1204 period, that is, those of the Lascarids of Nicaea (1204–1261), the Angeli-Ducae-Comneni of Ep(e)irus (1204/1205–1348/1449/1479), the Grand Comneni of Trebizond (1204–1461), as well as the Cantacuzeni and the Palaeologi of the later Despotate of the Morea/Mystras (1262/1348–1460/1461), while the early (thirteenth-century) history of this Thessalian Byzantine “state” should be studied on a parallel basis with that of the Latin Empire of Constantinople (“Romania”: 1204–1261) and the other major by-product of the Fourth Crusade, that is, the Latin/Lombard Kingdom of Thessalonica (1204/1207–1224). The article covers the period from C.E. 1204/1212–1213 to C.E. ca. 1470, with particular emphasis from the years 1212 or 1213/1222 onward, when the Thessalian area was initially incorporated in the rising Epeirote state (principality), until the final phases of the Ottoman annexation of the area, between ca. 1454 to ca. 1470.
On the the generation of closed trajectories from two separatrix loops of a sewn saddle-node passing through a fork
Authors: Ройтенберг В.Ш. 
Published: December 2023

Рассматривается двухпараметрическое семейство кусочно-гладких разрывных векторных полей на плоскости. При нулевых значениях параметров предполагается, что векторное поле имеет особую точку на линии разрыва типа сшитый седло-узел, выходящая сепаратриса которой разветвляется и идет в сшитый седло-узел, образуя две петли. В случае общего положения получено разбиение окрестности нуля на плоскости параметров по числу и типу замкнутых траекторий, рождающихся из указанных петель.
We consider a two-parameter family of piecewise-smooth discontinuous vector fields in the plane. At zero values of the parameters, it is assumed that the vector field has a singular point on the discontinuity line of the sewn saddle-node type, the outgoing separatrix of which branches out and goes to the sewn saddle-node, forming two loops. In general position, we obtain a partition of the neighborhood of zero on the parameter plane by the number and type of closed trajectories born from these loops.
