Abstract
Communities are characterized by the dominance of a few species, which are crucial for shaping communities. Bees compete for scarce resources, and offer an ideal system to study the effect of dominance on the diversity of bees. The effect of bee dominance is studied predominantly for the western honeybee, which can have negative effects in introduced sites. Solitary bees, stingless bees, native honeybees, and bumblebees can also be dominant on flowers. We test the hypothesis that dominance, regardless of the identity of the species, negatively influence diversity of bees on flowers. We analyzed 95,160 visits of 58 species of bees belonging to honeybees, solitary bees, and stingless bees on 59,211 flowers of 12 plant species across five years. Visitors were grouped into honeybees, solitary bees, and stingless bees. Proportion of the total abundance accounted by the most abundant species was considered as the estimate of dominance. Dominance negatively associated with richness and visitation rate of bees, but identity of bee functional group predicted the magnitude of the effects. Richness decreased with the dominance of honeybees and solitary bees, but not with the stingless bees. Visits of honeybees decreased when solitary bees dominated the visits. Visits of solitary bees decreased when honeybees or stingless bees dominated the flowers. We have shown that native bees of different functional groups can exert a similar negative effect on bee diversity in flowers like the invasive species do. Honeybees and stingless bees, though native in some parts, deteriorate bee diversity if augmented to ecosystems unnecessarily.
Synthesis, Antimicrobial Activity, and Drug-likeness profiles of 5-Phenylselenanyl-2-benzylthiopyrimidine Analogs
Authors: Jeelan  
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Given literature findings on the biological importance of pyrimidine and thiazolidine, we herein report synthesis and antimicrobial activity of 5-phenylselenanyl-2-benzylthio- pyrimidin-4-yl) thiazolidine-4-one analogs 4(a, b). Compound 5-phenylselenenyl-4-hydrazino-2-benzylthiopyrimidines (2) on condensation with substituted aromatic aldehydes afforded the corresponding Schiff bases 5-phenylselenenyl-4-(substituted benzylidenehydrazino)-2-benzylthiopyrimidine 3(a-c). Finally, the cyclization of compounds 3(a-c) with thioglycolic acid in benzene as solvent yielded target compounds 4(a, b). The structures of synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral studies such as IR, 1H-NMR, and Mass spectra. Results obtained by screening these synthesized compounds for antimicrobial activity reveal that only 1, 2, 3a, 3b, and 4a exhibited good antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa compared to the standard drug gentamycin. Among all pyrimidine analogs, compound 4b has shown good antifungal activity against the fungal strain A. niger and A. terreus. Other compounds have shown moderate to poor antifungal activity when compared with fluconazole. Also, ADMET properties were studied for synthesized compounds.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
The Earth Similarity Index (ESI) has proven to be an essential tool in locating Earth-like planets throughout the universe, yet its limited scope restricts its full potential. ExoPSI is a groundbreaking, open-source Python package that elevates the concept of similarity indexing. It provides the capability to calculate similarity indices of different planetary candidates with respect to any reference values, based on any numerical parameter, yielding a more accurate evaluation of the survivability of different species. ExoPSI offers unparalleled versatility, with the ability to use any planet as a reference point and visualisation functions that allow for easy comparison of the similarity between the interior and surface parameters of different planets. This makes it a critical tool for planetary science researchers, offering a comprehensive solution for evaluating planetary similarities.

The Hubble Tension Produces New Physics
Authors: Baruch John 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
The Hubble constant measures the rate of expansion of the universe. Measurements of the Hubble constant, using the flash from the Big Bang, are in conflict with recent measurements using distant exploding stars. This conflict is referred to as the Hubble Tension. The exploding stars measurements also indicate that the rate of expansion of the universe is accelerating. The distance measurement tool is based on the brightness of Cepheid stars in our Milky Way galaxy. Recently, the Gaia satellite which measured the distance of these Cepheid stars from the Earth physically found that their measurements do not coincide with the brightness measurements made by other researchers. The conflict between the two distance measurements of these Cepheid stars has been reviewed (1), declared void and the Hubble tension maintained. Here we show the opposite:- that is, that a different approach to the same data decisively indicates that the Cepheid light is absorbed in the Milky Way. We know that a large amount of the mass of the Milky Way is of an unknown form called Dark Matter. Here we also show that the data of Freedman et al, (2), using stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud indicates strongly that dark matter is the absorber of the star light in both cases. We show that this Dark Matter absorption dismisses the Hubble Tension and the apparent acceleration in the expansion of the Universe. “New Physics” is proposed whereby the Stephen Hawking radiation from the extreme gravitational fields of Black Holes has an additional converse such that Dark Matter particles in the form of binaries absorb the light from the stars. It is shown that the mass of such particles is a billion times the mass of particles that the CERN hadron collider in Geneva can produce: about 2x1013GeV.
The effects of rehospitalization rate on transitional care using information communication technology in patients with heart failure: a scoping review
Authors: qikaixin  , Tomoko Koike , Youko Yasuda , Satoko Tayama , Itsumi Wati 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Background: The number of people with heart failure is increasing. They have a high readmission rate and need ongoing health care and follow-up after hospital discharge. However, face-to-face nursing care is expensive; therefore, remote care options are required.
Objective: To reveal whether there are differences in effects (rehospitalization rate, and drug adherence) between face-to-face transitional care and remote technology, such as information and communication technologies, for transitional care in patients with heart failure within 30 days after discharge.
Design: Review
Setting: Patients with heart failure who received an information and communication technologies intervention within 30 days of discharge after being hospitalized for heart failure based on a review of published studies.
Methods: Eight English, Japanese, and Chinese databases were searched for research papers that examined outcomes such as readmission rates in patients with heart failure who received transitional care using remote technology. The search period was from 2000 to November 2021. This study was screened according to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, and at least 17 papers were accepted.
Results: Seventeen studies were included in this review. In 14 studies, the readmission rates were lower in the transitional care group using information and communication technologies than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant in ninestudies. In addition, one paper showed that the transitional care group improved patient satisfaction and quality of life more effectively.
Conclusions: Transitional care using information and communication technologies can provide necessary guidance according to the patient's timing, regardless of the patient's residence and time. Patients can send their self-monitored information to medical practitioners and receive timely feedback and guidance. With continuous follow-up support from the medical practitioner, the patient can adjust the plan to achieve a high degree of execution, and the patient's doubts and anxieties can be quickly resolved, increasing the patient's self-confidence. As a result, patients' self-care ability has improved, and it has become easier to control symptoms and prevent deterioration. We inferred that the transitional care group obtained a higher self-care ability than the control group. Transformational care using remote technologies such as information and communication technologies can help reduce readmission rates within 30 days after discharge compared to face-to-face care. In addition, the study showed that it may contribute to improving the quality of life and patient satisfaction.
Tweetable abstract: Information communication technology interventions after hospital discharge can decrease readmission rates in patients with heart failure.

Investigating the Role of Upward Comparisons and Self-compassion on Stigma in People With Acne: Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Adkins Kate , Overton Paul G , Moses Julia , Thompson Andrew 
Published: April 2023

Background
The use of image-laden social media is hypothesized as being implicated in psychological distress in individuals with conditions affecting their appearance. However, relatively little is known about the mechanisms involved in this relationship.

Objective
This cross-sectional study examined the relationship between photo-orientated social media use and feelings of stigmatization in adults with acne, and tested whether upward skin comparisons mediate and self-compassion moderates this relationship.

Methods
Adults (N=650) with acne symptoms completed web-based measures of social media use (daily Facebook or Instagram use, Facebook function use), self-compassion, skin appearance comparisons, and internalized stigmatization.

Results
Moderated-mediation and mediation analyses indicated that there was a significant indirect effect of Facebook photo use on stigmatization, mediated by upward appearance comparisons (estimation of indirect effect 11.03, SE 5.11, 95% CI 1.19-21.12). There was no significant relationship between Instagram use and feelings of stigmatization (estimation of indirect effect 0.0002, SE 0.005, 95% CI −0.011 to 0.009), yet upward appearance comparisons predicted feelings of stigmatization (B=0.99, P<.001). Self-compassion did not moderate the indirect or direct relationships between photo-orientated social media use and stigma. However, self-compassion was negatively correlated with upward appearance comparisons and feelings of stigmatization in both Facebook and Instagram users.

Conclusions
The way that individuals engage with social media, and in particular make appearance comparisons, should be considered when working with individuals with skin-related distress. Interventions aimed at boosting self-compassion and reducing appearance comparisons may provide avenues for protecting against feelings of stigma.
Sonidos en peligro de extinción: la música frente al cambio climático
Authors: Mendoza Ponce Alma 
Published: April 2023

El clima y la música vibran juntos. Por ejemplo, a través del impacto que tiene la variabilidad climática en los materiales con los que se crean los instrumentos. Uno de los casos más famosos es el de los Stradivarius, que fueron resultado de una maestría inigualable del laudero italiano, pero también consecuencia de un período de enfriamiento en Europa entre los siglos xiv y xix, que causó características acústicas únicas en la madera. En el mismo sentido, las nuevas condiciones climáticas están extinguiendo sonidos por la desaparición de los materiales: esto ya sucede con ciertos modelos clásicos de guitarras Fender. En este artículo se narran algunas historias del clima y la música, y las perspectivas que el cambio climático trae consigo en los sonidos del mundo.
