Authors: Dung Tran Thi Thanh , Anh Le Hoang , Nga Duong Thi Thuy 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Coral reefs are a vital component of coastal and marine ecosystems. They are now under strong environmental challenges and are being harmed by human activities and rising sea surface temperatures, which are reducing the living coral cover. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the mapping accuracy of coral covers using PlanetScope satellite pictures with the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method surrounding Cu Lao Xanh Island in Binh Dinh province. To adjust for the sunglint effect, the bands were corrected using the Hedley technique. After that, the Depth-Invariant Index technique was utilized to reduce the influence of the water column, and the ANN algorithm was employed for mapping. Hard coral, soft coral, seagrass, deep water, and bare bottom were identified as the five kinds of benthic habitat. The accuracy of the classification results was assessed using field data collected on May 10 and 11, 2022. The results indicated that the artificial neural network (ANN) technique had a higher accuracy, with a total classification accuracy of 89.55% and a kappa value of 0.87. Cu Lao Xanh’s coral area is around 68 hectares, with soft corals mostly found west and southwest of the island and hard corals in the east. This finding demonstrates that Planetscope satellite imagery is effective at monitoring shallow coral reefs on small islands, providing a scientific foundation and reliable data for the development of a more comprehensive coral reef ecological monitoring and management.

Abstract
Wetlands account for about 41% of the total global ecosystem services value; therefore, they preserve a role as the most precious ecosystems on Earth. However, 35% of global wetland areas have been lost since 1970 as many wetlands have been exploited unsustainably. In this context, a hydrogeomorphic delineation approach has been developed to divide a wetland landscape into units which have homogeneous hydrological regime, geomorphology, and soil, named as hydrogeomorphic units (HGMUs). These units are fundamental units of a wetland for functional and resilience assessment of a wetland in different uses; then, to determine optimal management strategies for maintaining its complete ecosystem functions. This study used Tram Chim National Park for applying the hydrogeomorphic delineation approach for breaking a landscape of the park down into HGMUs. The findings showed that the park may be divided as three classes, including depression, riverine, and flat. Each class continued to be subdivided as subclasses. The results showed that there were six subclasses, i.e. six HGMUs, which identified in the park. Based on the results, the study described characteristics of HGMUs and created maps of HGMUs distribution of the park. These results will be a basis for next steps of applying functional assessment procedures for analyzing potential of the HGMUs to perform ecosystem functions in our upcoming study for preservation and management purposes in Tram Chim National Park.

Authors: Tra Tran Quang , Than Nguyen Hien 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Recently, using remote sensing to monitor water quality has become popular because of its outstanding advantages. Tri An reservoir, since its construction, has always played an important role in the southern provinces; however, the lake is now highly eutrophicated in which the green algae community, which causes this phenomenon, is strongly influenced by the nutrients in the lake. The aim of this research is to estimate the nutrient pollutants concentration (i.e., NO2
−, NO3
−, NH4
+) for the Tri An reservoir on November 14th 2020 using Landsat 8 OLI images. The study performed correlation analysis between measured nutrient pollutants concentration and spectral reflectance values derived from Landsat 8 image bands. The result showed that they are strongly correlated with each other (Pearson coefficients are larger 0.95 between band 4 and NO2
−, NO3
−, NH4
+ measured concentrations). On that basis, the regression equations estimating the nutrient pollutants concentration in the lake were set up and the optimal equation was chosen (the equations estimated NO2
−, NO3
−, and NH4
+ concentrations had adjusted R2 values 0.94, 0.93, 0.94, respectively), consequently, the nutrient distribution maps in Tri An reservoir were established to identify the high pollution areas. This study has clearly revealed the effectiveness of using satellite images for monitoring water quality.
Groundwater resources in Bac Lieu province, Mekong Delta: current groundwater extraction and related issues

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Groundwater in coastal cities is facing with various challenges such as contamination, salinization and land subsidence due to poor management and climate change. This research is aimed to summary groundwater issues such as groundwater quality, salinization and land subsidence in Bac Lieu City, a coastal city of Mekong Delta. A datasets of wells survey, wells logs and groundwater sampling were utilized for the study. The results show that saline groundwaters (TDS> 1.5 g/L) cover 99 and 54% area of shallow aquifers including Holocene, Upper Pleistocene and 48, 93, and 82% area of very deep aquifers like middle Pliocene, lower Pliocene, and upper Miocene, respectively. Fresh groundwater (TDS <1.5 g/L) is mainly found from 75 to 227 m in upper middle Pleistocene, lower Pleistocene and middle Pliocene aquifers. Groundwater extraction amount increases sharply during the last decades which induced groundwater level decline to 15 m below mean sea level (bmsl). The decline of groundwater level is even observed in the non-extracted aquifers suggesting that those aquifers are hydraulically connected. Land subsidence is observed in some groundwater extraction wells. Groundwater chemical data reflects that 73, 53, 28, 21, 18, 16, and 8% of total 120 groundwater samples show the concentrations of hardness, NO3
−, Cl−, TDS, Na+, NO2
−, and NH4
+ are greater than those recommended in Vietnam National Technical Regulation on Domestic Water Quality (RDWQ; QCVN 01-1:2018/BYT) suggesting that groundwater in the area should not be used directly for domestic purposes. The occurrence of high Na+, TDS and Cl- concentrations in some groundwater samples may indicate salinization. The observation of high NO3
− is also a strange phenomenon in this area. Finding the sources of NO3 high concentration and salinization are highly recommended for further studies to sustainable practices of groundwater protection and management in the area.

Authors: Chi Hoang Thi Phuong , Hai Ha Quang , Ngoc Vo Nguyen Bao 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Tam Hai commune, Nui Thanh district, Quang Nam province, is located in the Tam Ky-Phuoc Son suture zone, which is part of the Kon Tum high metamorphic massif’s northeastern edge. Its geology is diverse, ranging from late Proterozoic metamorphic rocks to Quaternary sediments. This location also has a distinct landform in which a spit connects the mainland coast to an island known as a tombolo. Furthermore, the Truong Giang River is unique in that it flows parallel to the sea and is separated from it by a vast expanse of sand dunes. As a result, Tam Hai has unique geological and geomorphological properties. Furthermore, due to the long tradition of a fishing village, this geosite has significant additional value. The Tam Hai geosite is evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively for conservation and sustainable tourism development planning using the methods of literature reviews, geosite assessment, GIS, and field survey. The Tam Hai complex (geological, geomorphological, and hydrological) geosite and surrounding area map were created to highlight the scientific and additional values of the geosites: 1) carved rocky coastline in Ban Than mountain, 2) two islets, Mang and Dua, 3) two accumulation-abrasion coasts, and 4) the Truong Giang river. Our study also identifies and assesses the geosite’s risks in order to support the geosite’s conservation and protection, as well as tourism development here.
Shape-defining alginate shells as semi-permeable culture chambers for soft cell-laden hydrogels

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Soft hydrogels have a porous structure that promotes viability and growth of resident cells. However, due to their low structural stability, these materials are fragile and difficult to culture in vitro. Here we present a novel approach for the 3D culture of such materials, where a shape-defining, semi-permeable hydrogel shell is used to provide mechanical stability. These thin hydrogel shells enclose and stabilize the soft materials while still permitting gas and nutrient exchange. Custom alginate-shaped shells were prepared using a thermosetting, ion-eluting hydrogel mold. In a second step, the hydrogel shells were filled with cell-laden infill materials. As an example of the versatility of this technique, materials previously not available for tissue engineering, such as non-annealed microgels or low crosslinked and mechanically unstable hydrogels, were used for tissue culture. Primary human chondrocytes were cultured using this platform, to evaluate its potential for cartilage tissue engineering. To prove the scalability of this technique, anatomically-shaped ears were cultured for 3 weeks. This novel approach has the potential to radically change the material property requirements in the field of tissue engineering: thanks to the shape definition and stability provided by the hydrogel shells, a wide range of materials previously inaccessible for the manufacture of 3D tissue grafts can be re-evaluated.
CBT-based Online Self-help Training to Reduce Fear and Distress After Cancer (CAREST Randomized Trial): 24 Months Follow-up Using Latent Growth Models and Latent Class Analysis
Authors: van Helmondt Sanne Jasperine , Lodder Paul , van Woezik Rosalie , de Vries Jolanda , van der Lee Marije Liesbeth 
Published: April 2023

Abstract

Background
Psychological distress (PD) and fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) are common consequences of surviving cancer. Online self-help training could help many cancer survivors deal with PD and FCR at low costs.

Purpose
To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of the CAncer REcurrence Self-help Training (CAREST trial) to reduce PD and FCR. Moreover, to evaluate the relation between FCR and PD across time and identify subgroups representing different change trajectories in FCR over time and their predictors.

Methods
This multicenter randomized controlled trial included 262 female breast cancer survivors, assigned to online self-help training or care as usual. Participants completed questionnaires at baseline and four times during the 24-month follow-up. The primary outcomes were PD and FCR (Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory). Latent growth curve modeling (LGCM) and repeated measures latent class analysis (RMLCA) were performed, both according to the intention-to-treat principle.

Results
LGCM showed no differences between the average latent slope in both groups for both PD and FCR. The correlation between FCR and PD at baseline was moderate for the intervention group and strong for the CAU group and did not significantly decrease over time in both groups. RMLCA revealed five latent classes and several predictors of class membership.

Conclusions
We did not find a long-term effect of the CBT-based online self-help training in reducing PD or FCR, nor in their relation. Therefore, we recommend adding professional support to online interventions for FCR. Information about FCR classes and predictors may contribute to improvement of FCR interventions.
CARD*Shark: automated prioritization of literature curation for the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database
Authors: Edalatmand Arman , McArthur Andrew G 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Scientific literature is published at a rate that makes manual data extraction a highly time-consuming task. The Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD) utilizes literature to curate information on antimicrobial resistance genes and to enable time-efficient triage of publications we have developed a classification algorithm for identifying publications describing first reports of new resistance genes. Trained on publications contained in the CARD, CARD*Shark downloads, processes and identifies publications recently added to PubMed that should be reviewed by biocurators. With CARD*Shark, we can minimize the monthly scope of articles a biocurator reviews from hundreds of articles to a few dozen, drastically improving the speed of curation while ensuring no relevant publications are overlooked.

Labour Taxes, Market Size and Productivity Growth
Authors: Ferraro Domenico , Ghazi Soroush , Peretto Pietro F 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
How do changes in labour taxes affect innovation and aggregate productivity growth? To answer this question, we propose a quantitative, general equilibrium growth model featuring product and quality innovation with endogenous market structure, estimate its parameters and provide empirical validation for the propagation mechanism of labour tax changes. We find that a temporary cut in flat-rate labour taxes produces a growth acceleration in aggregate productivity, permanently increasing the path of real GDP per capita. Moreover, such permanent gains are sizeable even without long-run growth effects.
Genome-Wide Admixture Mapping Identifies Wild Ancestry-of-Origin Segments in Cultivated Robusta Coffee

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Humans have had a major influence on the dissemination of crops beyond their native range, thereby offering new hybridization opportunities. Characterizing admixed genomes with mosaic origins generates valuable insight into the adaptive history of crops and the impact on current varietal diversity. We applied the ELAI tool—an efficient local ancestry inference method based on a two-layer hidden Markov model to track segments of wild origin in cultivated accessions in the case of multiway admixtures. Source populations—which may actually be limited and partially admixed—must be generally specified when using such inference models. We thus developed a framework to identify local ancestry with admixed source populations. Using sequencing data for wild and cultivated Coffea canephora (commonly called Robusta), our approach was found to be highly efficient and accurate on simulated hybrids. Application of the method to assess elite Robusta varieties from Vietnam led to the identification of an accession derived from a likely backcross between two genetic groups from the Congo Basin and the western coastal region of Central Africa. Admixtures resulting from crop hybridization and diffusion could thus lead to the generation of elite high-yielding varieties. Our methods should be widely applicable to gain insight into the role of hybridization during plant and animal evolutionary history.

Published: April 2023

ABSTRACTThe role of intraoperative computer-assisted modalities for periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), as well as the perioperative and post-operative outcomes for these techniques, remains poorly defined. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the techniques and outcomes of intraoperative computer-assisted modalities for PAO. Three databases (PubMed, CINAHL/EBSCOHost and Cochrane) were searched for clinical studies reporting on computer-assisted modalities for PAO. Exclusion criteria included small case series (&lt;10 patients), non-English language and studies that did not provide a description of the computer-assisted technique. Data extraction included computer-assisted modalities utilized, surgical techniques, demographics, radiographic findings, perioperative outcomes, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), complications and subsequent surgeries. Nine studies met the inclusion criteria, consisting of 208 patients with average ages ranging from 26 to 38 years. Intraoperative navigation was utilized in seven studies, patient-specific guides in one study and both modalities in one study. Three studies reported significantly less intraoperative radiation exposure (P &lt; 0.01) in computer-assisted versus conventional PAOs. Similar surgical times and estimated blood loss (P &gt; 0.05) were commonly observed between the computer-assisted and conventional groups. The average post-operative lateral center edge angles in patients undergoing computer-assisted PAOs ranged from 27.8° to 37.4°, with six studies reporting similar values (P &gt; 0.05) compared to conventional PAOs. Improved PROs were observed in all six studies that reported preoperative and post-operative values of patients undergoing computer-assisted PAOs. Computer-assisted modalities for PAO include navigated tracking of the free acetabular fragment and surgical instruments, as well as patient-specific cutting guides and rotating templates. Compared to conventional techniques, decreased intraoperative radiation exposure and similar operative lengths were observed with computer-assisted PAOs, although these results should be interpreted with caution due to heterogeneous operative techniques and surgical settings.
Treatment-related problems and their cost among patients hospitalised with asthma exacerbation
Authors: Tabaza Haya , Abu Farha Rana , Naser Abdallah Y , Awwad Oriana 
Published: April 2023

Abstract

Objectives
Treatment-related problems (TRPs) are events associated with patients’ managements adversely affecting the patients’ optimum outcomes. Asthma is a common chronic condition characterised by acute episodes of exacerbation. In Jordan, data regarding TRPs in asthma exacerbations are lacking. This study aimed to identify/classify TRPs among patients hospitalised with asthma exacerbation in Jordan and to estimate their costs.

Methods
A retrospective observational cohort study (Jan 2017–Jul 2021) was conducted in a tertiary centre in Jordan. TRPs were identified during hospitalisation and at discharge using a standardised classification tool and assessed for their severity. Potential cost savings (the extra cost of medication/procedure associated with TRPs) and potential cost avoidance (the cost avoidable by preventing TRPs and their associated adverse drug events) were investigated.

Key findings
A total of 494 cases were included in the study. A total of 3933 TRPs (2931 during hospitalisation; 1002 at discharge) were identified with a mean of 4.7 ± 2.2 and 2.0 ± 1.2 TRPs during hospitalisation and at discharge, respectively. ‘Unnecessary drug therapy’ (40.8%) and ‘ineffective/incomplete drug therapy’ (44.1%) were the most common TRPs during hospitalisation and at discharge, respectively. In 82% of the cases, systemic corticosteroids were administered for a longer period than recommended. Most of the TRPs were of moderate severity. Potential cost savings and cost avoidance were estimated to be USD 30 919.3 and USD 734 179.9 respectively, with a total cost of USD 766 046.8.

Conclusions
The prevalence and cost of TRPs among asthma exacerbations are relatively high. Interventions to reduce such problems are necessary to avoid the negative clinical outcomes of TRPs and their economic burden on patients and healthcare systems.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal malignancies constitute the most common neoplasms with increasing prevalence worldwide, which portend a dismal morbidity and higher mortality rate. Epigenetic phenotypes and field cancerization impute a cutting edge for precursor of several gastrointestinal malignancies; this genetic aberration has been implicated in tumorigenesis and recurrence of gastrointestinal malignancies. This systematic review aims at assessing the effect of epigenetics and field cancerization on carcinogenesis and recurrence of gastrointestinal malignancies. This systematic review and meta-analysis will administer the provisions of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis 2020 guideline, and the review protocol has been registered at PROSPERO. The literature search will be executed through several electronic databases including EMBASE, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, Global Index Medicus, Semantic Scholar and Google Scholar. All original research articles reporting on the effect of epigenetic signatures, epigenetics and field cancerization on the carcinogenesis and recurrence of gastrointestinal cancers in adults will be included. Only articles with Newcastle–Ottawa Scale score above 4 and low risk of bias based on D1–D5 for randomized controlled trials will be included for a meta-analysis. There is no involvement of human subject participation in this review, thus giving no effect to ethical clearance approval. The evidence report of this review will be disseminated on scientific conferences and will be published to a reputable journal of gastroenterology oncology. This review has been registered at PROSPERO registry ID CRD 42023391339.
