Abstract
Tropical rainforests in Sri Lanka are considered as biodiversity hotspots. However, their existence is threatened by multiple climatic and anthropogenic drivers. Our objective was to assess the diversity, endemism and conservation status of these rainforests across a wide altitudinal range. We conducted a complete census of all trees having ≥ 10 cm diameter at breast height in ten one-hectare permanent sampling plots of tropical rainforests from 100 to 2200 m above mean sea level and determined altitudinal trends in tree diversity, floristic composition, endemism and conservation status of tree taxa. While community-scale tree diversity decreased with increasing altitude, substantial altitudinal differentiation of tree taxa was observed. Increasing day-night temperature difference (DTR), decreasing rainfall and increasing cumulative maximum soil water deficit (CSWDmax) with increasing altitude decreased tree diversity and the percentage of endemic species while increasing the percentage of endangered species. These trends show that the ability to colonize the higher altitudes, where lower temperatures and higher soil water deficits act as climate constraints, is a major determinant of tree diversity and endemism in Sri Lankan rainforests across altitude gradients. This hypothesis is supported by the observed increases of the percentages of endangered and vulnerable species from mid- to high altitudes. Most of the dominant species at different altitudes were endemic and are endangered or vulnerable. We conclude that the decrease in diversity and endemism is most likely driven by cold- and drought-sensitivity of these predominantly tropical-adapted tree species so that conservation efforts are most needed at altitudes above 1000 m.
Research on concentration detection algorithm of embedded gas detection system based on deep learning
Authors: Sun Shuyong 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
In daily life, whether it is the house where people live or the car they drive, air pollution can be seen almost everywhere, and human life and health are seriously threatened. There is an urgent need for a detection system for fast and accurate detection and assessment of ambient air quality. On the other hand, in the medical field, the detection of human exhaled gas can realize non-invasive and rapid early disease screening, but to achieve this purpose, a fast, accurate, highly sensitive and selective gas detection system is also required. At present, the research and development of gas detection system has attracted more and more attention of scholars, and the gas detection technology using porphyrin sensor array (PSA) chip is a hot topic in this research direction in recent years. Compared with traditional methods, this method has many obvious advantages and can meet the needs of fast, accurate and sensitive detection. In this paper, a PSA chip is used as a gas sensor, a set of PSA image acquisition and processing software is designed and developed on the Linux platform, and successfully transplanted to the ARM platform to build a complete gas detection system. Next, the data was collected and processed with ammonia gas as the detection object, and the quantitative analysis model of gas concentration was studied.

Abstract
To evaluate the effectiveness of autogenous periosteal graft as a barrier membrane on the clinical parameters when used in the treatment of intrabony defects in chronic periodontitis patients. Four databases MEDLINE (by PubMed), Cochrane database, EBSCO, and Google Scholar were explored to identify studies in English up to December 2022. Three independent reviewers screened the retrieved articles using the particular inclusion criteria. Randomized control trials (RCTs) evaluating the effectiveness of autogenous periosteal grafts used in the treatment of intrabony defects in chronic periodontitis patients were included in the study. Outcome variables examined were pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), radiographic bone defect fill (BDF), gingival recession (GR), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP). The mean differences and 95% confidence interval were used to illustrate the estimate of effect size. Six relevant articles were recognized for data procurement. A total of 117 patients with 68 sites and an age range between 18 years and 55 years were selected as paricipants.There was an equal effect in both groups for PI, GI and BOP reduction. For PD reduction, the result was in favor of periosteal graft with open flap debridement (OFD). For CAL gain, radiographic BDF and GR, the results also favored the periosteal graft but no statistically significant difference was found. Within the limitations of the study, it seems that the autogenous periosteal graft can be used successfully along with OFD to treat intrabony defects in chronic periodontitis patients.

ANN-based PCA to predict evapotranspiration: a case study in India
Authors: Abraham Marykutty , Mohan Sankaralingam 
Published: May 2023

Abstract

The Penman–Monteith evapotranspiration (ET) model has superior predictive ability to other methods, but it is challenging to apply in several Indian stations, owing to the need for a large number of climatic variables. The study investigated an artificial neural network (ANN) model for calculating ET for various agro-climatic regions of India. Sensitivity analysis showed that the overall average changes in ET0 values for 25% change in the climatic variables were 18, 16, 14, 7, 5, and 4%, respectively, for Tmax, RHmean, Rn, wind speed, Tmin, and sunshine hours. The dominant climatic variables were identified from the principal component analysis (PCA) and ET0 was computed using an ANN with dominant climatic variables. The ANN architecture with backpropagation technique had one hidden layer and neurons ranging from 10 to 30 for all climatic variables and from 5 to 10 for PCA variables. The new ET models were statistically compared with Penman–Monteith ET estimate, and found reliable. PCA variables guaranteed an estimate of ET0 accounting for 98% of the variability. The average values of coefficient of determination, standard error of estimate, and percentage efficiency were observed as 0.96, 0.24, and 94%, respectively.
A Research Update on Exendin-4 as a Novel Molecule Against
Parkinson’s Disease
Authors: Singh Niraj Kumar , Singh Ashini , Varshney Mini , Agrawal Ritik 
Published: May 2023

Abstract:
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative
disorder, and its consequences severely influence the quality of a patient’s life and
mobility. PD is characterized by bradykinesias with tremors and/or rigidity.
Pathophysiologically, PD is associated with the gradual degeneration of dopaminergic
neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta of the midbrain, neuroinflammation,
increased accumulation of the alpha (α)-synuclein, overburden of oxidative stress, and
mitochondrial dysfunction. To date, there are no effective therapies with underlying
shreds of evidence that alters the progression of PD. Exendin-4, a glucagon-like peptide
1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has gained attention for its tremendous neuroprotective
potential against numerous neurodegenerative disorders, including PD. Further, several
pieces of research evidence have suggested the beneficial role of Exendin-4 in PD-like
experimental models. The present review article highlights the preclinical and clinical
evidence of the therapeutic benefits of Exendin-4 against PD. Exendin-4 reverses the
PD-like symptoms in experimental animals by dramatically minimizing the loss of
dopaminergic neuronal and accumulation of α-synuclein in the PD-like brain. Further, it
also reduces the mitochondrial toxicity and expression of pro-inflammatory mediators
such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β. These observations
designate that Exendin-4 is a multifactorial compound that could be considered a safe,
effective, and new ingredient for developing clinically useful pharmacotherapy for
managing PD-like manifestations.

Published: May 2023

Objective:
The purpose of this study was to assess the performance of computed tomog-raphy (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting sacroiliitis in non-radiographic SpA (nr-SpA).

Methods:
This cross-sectional monocentric double-blind study included 63 patients consulting for symptoms suggestive of SpA between February 2014 and February 2017. Patients with convention-al radiographs showing a confirmed sacroiliitis (grade 3 or 4) were not included. Eligible patients underwent CT and MRI of sacroiliac joints (SIJ). CT and MR images were interpreted by 2 experi-enced musculoskeletal radiologists blinded to clinical and laboratory data. Two professors in rheu-matology blinded to radiologists’ conclusions analyzed clinical data, laboratory tests, HLA typing, X-rays, CT and MRI images, and divided the patients into 2 groups: confirmed nr-SpA or no SpA. This classification was considered the gold standard when analyzing the results.

Results:
46 women and 17 men were included in this study. 47 patients were classified as con-firmed nr-SpA (74.6%) and 16 patients as no SpA (25.4%). Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of CT and MRI for detecting sacroiliitis were, respectively, estimated at 71.7%, 71.4%, 89.2%, 43.5%, and 51.2%, 100%, 100%, and 40%. CT and MRI findings were found to be statistically associated (p<0.001).

Conclusion:
SIJ MRI is a highly specific method in the detection of sacroiliitis, but with a moderate sensitivity. SIJ CT scan, usually known as the third option after radiography and MRI, has much greater diagnostic utility than it has been documented previously.

Desde que en 1882 se descubriera el bacilo de la tuberculosis, se desencadena una carrera científica para vencer a una enfermedad que se convirtió durante la primera mitad del siglo xx en la principal causa de mortalidad en España.
Una de las medidas para luchar contra ella fue la puesta en marcha por parte del Patronato Nacional Antituberculoso (PNA) de un ambicioso plan de construcciones que consiguiera crear una completa red de sanatorios donde alojar y atender en las mejores condiciones posibles a los enfermos. Estudios como los de los doctores Bassols o Valenzuela comenzaron a crear las bases documentales para establecer y dar a conocer tanto a médicos como arquitectos los lugares y condiciones más idóneas para construir estos sanatorios.
¿Dónde se construyeron finalmente estos gigantes de la sanidad española? ¿En qué situación se encuentra actualmente este legado arquitectónico y cultural de nuestra historia? Muchas de las piezas hoy heredadas y diseminadas por todo lo ancho del territorio español se encuentran en un alarmante estado de abandono.
Este artículo pretende otorgar justicia a todo el conjunto de la operación de diseño y construcción del PNA sacando a la luz una obra realmente espectacular que recorre toda la geografía española.

A personagem e a ação na dramaturgia de José Saramago. Uma leitura de A Noite
Authors: Camargo Pirani Luciana de Cassia 
Published: May 2023

As obras A Noite (1979), Que farei com este livro? (1980), A segunda vida de Francisco de Assis (1987), In nomine Dei (1993) e, por fim, Don Giovanni ou o dissoluto absolvido (2005) constituem o conjunto de dramaturgia publicado por José Saramago. Nesses textos ficcionais, as relações entre o eu e o outro promovem a ação, não distante do que acontece na vida. Este trabalho analisa a articulação entre a ação, a criação e o desenvolvimento da personagem dramática saramaguiana em A Noite. O objetivo é identificar se as ações praticadas pelos personagens vão além do motivo e causa última da existência do personagem dramático, se dialogam com princípios de uma ideologia ética que influenciaria, e de que forma, a estética de Saramago. Perante esta hipótese, para além das obras acima referidas, contribuíram para esta análise textos não ficcionais de José Saramago: Discursos de Estocolmo, Cadernos de Lanzarote, Carta de Deveres e Obrigações dos Cidadãos, associados às obras de Patrice Pavis, Edélcio Mostaço, Robert Abirached e Luigi Pirandello. A opção pelo diálogo entre ficção, não ficção e os textos dos referidos teóricos contribuiu para a compreensão das peculiaridades do texto teatral e de seus elementos, em especial, o personagem e a ação; compreender os conceitos de ideologia, ética e estética, bem como identificar a ideologia ética de Saramago e como ela se manifesta na estética do texto dramático por ele produzido. A análise sugere que a transição entre espaços nas obras de José Saramago pode ser entendida como uma estratégia que vai além da realização artística do personagem. O movimento e a ação importam para o exercício da ideologia ética de Saramago: o dever de ter deveres para com o outro, não basta ser personagem, é preciso ser cidadão, é preciso ser personagem-cidadão.

Quantifying sector-resolved methane fluxes in complex emissions
environments is challenging yet necessary for inventory validations. We
separate energy and agriculture sector methane using a dynamic linear
model of methane, ethane, and ammonia mixing ratios measured at a
Northern Colorado site from November 2021 to January 2022. Combining
observations with spatially resolved inventories and inverse methods,
energy and agriculture methane fluxes are constrained across a
~850 km area. Optimized energy sector
fluxes were 22% lower than the inventory despite a
~360% increase in regional energy production since the
inventory was constructed, suggesting a regional decline in emissions
factors. In contrast, optimized agriculture fluxes were 3× larger than
the inventory; we demonstrate this discrepancy is consistent with the
spatial distribution of agricultural sources. These results highlight
the utility of sector-apportioned methane observations for multi-sector
inventory optimization in complex environments, which may prove valuable
for national and global quantification of sector-resolved methane
fluxes.
Impact of Job Security on Turnover Intention Mediated by Job Satisfaction in the Context of Covid-19 in Pakistan
Authors: Atiq Nazia , Usmani Sania 
Published: May 2023

Retaining intellectual capital and understanding the reasons behind Turnover intentions s are the most crucial tasks for any industry, especially in the era where organizations have the most diverse workforce in terms of generation. A high turnover carries detrimental effects for any sector. The education industry gets affected more adversely due to this factor. The primary purpose of this study is to verify the effects of lack of Job Security on the Turnover Intention with the mediation effects of job satisfaction, particularly in a covid context. Generation Y and Z were compared to understand how they both reacted to the lack of Job Security in the private education sector. Results showed that Job Security elevates Job Satisfaction and reduces intention of turnover in Gen Y. While in the case of Gen Z, the negative relationship between Job Security and turnover is stronger but Job Satisfaction will not decrease Turnover Intention rather it increases. This is quite interesting and provides a vast area for further research in this regard. These findings offer implications for creating an environment where a diverse workforce senses and achieves high Job Satisfaction along with security to retain them, especially for Gen Y. while for Gen Z there should be some challenging tasks to keep them enthusiastic and passionate about their work.
