Authors: Chen Amanda 
Published: May 2023

Purpose: This study investigates the impact of microplastic pollution on freshwater ecosystems and effective mitigation measures in Canada.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low-cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The literature review and research findings demonstrate that microplastic pollution is significantly impacting freshwater ecosystems in Canada. Microplastics can accumulate in water, biota, and sediments, leading to water quality changes, ecological disruptions, and potential risks to human health. The study also highlights the ecological and societal impacts of microplastic pollution, such as changes in habitat structure, alterations in food webs, and potential health risks. Various mitigation measures, including source reduction, wastewater treatment, education and awareness, policy and regulatory measures, and ecosystem-based approaches, are effective in reducing microplastic pollution in freshwater environments.
Recommendations: This study contributes to the understanding of microplastic pollution's impact on freshwater ecosystems and effective mitigation measures in Canada. The research advances knowledge in environmental science, freshwater ecology, and pollution management, providing insights into sources, pathways, and impacts of microplastic pollution in freshwater ecosystems, and the effectiveness of various mitigation measures. The findings have practical implications for policymakers, environmental managers, and stakeholders involved in freshwater management and pollution control, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary approaches, stakeholder engagement, and evidence-based policy and management strategies to mitigate the negative effects of microplastic pollution on freshwater ecosystems and safeguard their health and sustainability.

DIVIDEND PAYOUT AND ITS DETERMINANTS IN THE NIGERIAN BANKING SECTOR
Authors: ONUORAH, A.C. (PhD; F, CIFIAN)  
Published: April 2023

The study examined determinants of dividend payout (DP) in the context of the Nigeria banking sector between the periods of 2009-2018. A sample of eight (8) banks was drawn out of the 21 deposit money banks (DMBs) for the study. The study made used of secondary which was sourced from the annual reports and accounts of the various banks and analyzed with descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis using OLS method by using the pooled model with the aid of E-VIEW computer software. The findings revealed that Profitability (PROF) and Bank Size (BS) have significant relationship with DP Ratio (DPR) while Liquidity (LIQ) and Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) does not. The study found a substantial link between DP determinants and DPR in Nigeria DMBs. Since it has the lowest impact on bank DP, the study proposes that banks have optimal loans to deposit to boost LIQ and prevent illiquidity.

A view of the European carbon flux landscape through the lens of the ICOS atmospheric observation network
Authors: Storm Ida , Karstens Ute , D'Onofrio Claudio , Vermeulen Alex , Peters Wouter 
Published: May 2023

Abstract. The ICOS (Integrated Carbon Observation System) network
of atmospheric measurement stations produces standardized data on greenhouse
gas concentrations at 46 stations in 16 different European countries (March
2023). The placement of instruments on tall towers and mountains results in
large influence regions (“concentration footprints”). The combined
footprints for all the individual stations create a “lens” through which
the network sees the European CO2 flux landscape. In this study, we
summarize this view using quantitative metrics of the fluxes seen by
individual stations and by the current and extended ICOS networks. Results
are presented from both country level and pan-European perspectives, using
open-source tools that we make available through the ICOS Carbon Portal. We
target anthropogenic emissions from various sectors, as well as the land
cover types found across Europe and their spatiotemporally varying fluxes.
This recognizes different interests of different ICOS stakeholders. We
specifically introduce “monitoring potential maps” to identify which
regions have a relative underrepresentation of biospheric fluxes. This
potential changes with the introduction of new stations, which we
investigate for the planned ICOS expansion with 19 stations over the next
few years. In our study focused on the summer of 2020, we find that the ICOS
atmospheric station network has limited sensitivity to anthropogenic fluxes,
as was intended in the current design. Its representation of biospheric
fluxes follows the fractional representation of land cover and is generally
well balanced considering the pan-European view. Exceptions include
representation of grass and shrubland and broadleaf forest which are
abundant in south-eastern European countries, particularly Croatia and
Serbia. On the country scale, the representation shows larger imbalances, even
within relatively densely monitored countries. The flexibility to consider individual ecosystems, countries, or their integrals across Europe
demonstrates the usefulness of our analyses and can readily be reproduced
for any network configuration within Europe.
Evaluation of liquefaction triggering potential in Italy: a seismic-hazard-based approach
Authors: Barani Simone , Ferretti Gabriele , Scafidi Davide 
Published: May 2023

Abstract. In the present study, we analyze ground-motion hazard
maps and hazard disaggregation in order to define areas in Italy where
liquefaction triggering due to seismic activity can not be excluded. To this
end, we refer to the triggering criteria (not to be confused with
liquefaction susceptibility criteria, which essentially take into account
soil type and depth to groundwater) proposed by the Italian Guidelines for
Seismic Microzonation, which are described in the main body of the
paper. However, the study can be replicated in other countries that
adopt different criteria. The final goal is the definition of a screening
map for all of Italy that classifies sites in terms of liquefaction
triggering potential according to their seismic hazard level. The map, which
is referred to with the Italian acronym MILQ – Mappa del potenziale d'Innesco
della LiQuefazione (i.e., map of liquefaction triggering potential), and the
associated data are freely accessible at the following web address:
https://distav.unige.it/rsni/milq.php (last access: 28 April 2023). Our results can be useful to guide
land-use planners in deciding whether liquefaction is a hazard that needs to
be considered within the planning processes or not. Furthermore, they can
serve as a guide for recommending geological and geotechnical investigations
aimed at the evaluation of liquefaction hazards or, conversely, rule out
further studies with consequent savings in efforts and money.

Pathogenetic variants of sepsis in oncologicy practice
Authors: Freynd G. G. , Buldakova A. A. 
Published: May 2023

Introduction Over the past 30 years, sepsis has been an urgent interdisciplinary problem of modern medicine due to the increase in morbidity and a consistently high mortality rate. Patients of oncological hospitals have a high predisposition to the development of sepsis, both in the postoperative period and in the departments of chemo and radiation therapy. In addition, sepsis may be a complication of the postoperative period in patients undergoing surgical treatment. Of interest is not only the clinical and laboratory diagnosis of sepsis in this category of patients, but also the features of its morphological picture, due to uniform diagnostic criteria. The greatest difficulties arise in the study of autopsies, after antitumor chemotherapy, which causes a secondary immunodeficiency condition characterized by the absence of a classical morphological picture of sepsis. The use of modern antibacterial drugs, as well as pathogenetic therapy of sepsis also leads to its pathomorphosis, which also complicates diagnosis.The aim of the study is to systematize the literature data and the results of our own research on the features of morphological manifestations of sepsis in oncological pathology, depending on cancer treatment.Material and methods The search and selection of literary sources was carried out in PubMed, GoogleScholar, electronic library systems elibrary.ru, the search depth is 30 years.Results and Discussion Sepsis in cancer patients after surgical interventions is characterized by hyperergic type of tissue reactions with hyperplasia of lymphoid and myeloid tissue and classic manifestations of septicopyemia of varying severity of purulent metastatic process: from macroscopically distinguishable abscesses to mini-foci of purulent inflammation. Against the background of antibiotic therapy, there is a pathomorphosis of sepsis with a predominance of microcirculation disorders and small focal ulcers. In patients after chemotherapy, accompanied by leukopenia and agranulocytosis, with sepsis, hypoplasia of myeloid and lymphoid tissue is noted, and in the internal organs, along with microcirculation disorders, foci of necrosis, severe dystrophic changes with the absence of neutrophil infiltration are found.Conclusion Sepsis in cancer patients from pathogenetic positions is heterogeneous, depending on the characteristics of the body and the nature of treatment, it should be divided into hyper- and anergic. The diagnosis of sepsis is clinico-morphological, which requires not only the use of clinical and laboratory diagnostic scales, but also the definition of criteria for morphological diagnosis.
