BackgroundElevated rates of alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis use are observed in both patients with psychotic disorders and individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR-P), and strong genetic associations exist between substance use disorders and schizophrenia. While individuals with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22qDel) are at increased genetic risk for psychosis, initial evidence suggests that they have strikingly low rates of substance use. In the current study, we aimed to directly compare substance use patterns and their neurobehavioral correlates in genetic and clinical high-risk cohorts.MethodsData on substance use frequency and severity, clinical symptoms, and neurobehavioral measures were collected at baseline and at 12-month follow-up visits in two prospective longitudinal cohorts: participants included 89 22qDel carriers and 65 age and sex-matched typically developing (TD) controls (40.67% male, Mage = 19.26 ± 7.84 years) and 1,288 CHR-P youth and 371 matched TD controls from the North American Prodrome Longitudinal Study-2 and 3 (55.74% male; Mage = 18.71 ± 4.27 years). Data were analyzed both cross-sectionally and longitudinally using linear mixed effects models.ResultsControlling for age, sex, and site, CHR-P individuals had significantly elevated rates of tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis use relative to TD controls, whereas 22qDel had significantly lower rates. Increased substance use in CHR-P individuals was associated with increased psychosis symptom severity, dysphoric mood, social functioning, and IQ, while higher social anhedonia was associated with lower substance use across all domains at baseline. These patterns persisted when we investigated these relationships longitudinally over one-year. CHR-P youth exhibited significantly increased positive psychosis symptoms, dysphoric mood, social functioning, social anhedonia, and IQ compared to 22qDel carriers, and lower rates of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared to 22qDel carriers, both at baseline and at 1 year follow-up.ConclusionIndividuals at genetic and CHR-P have strikingly different patterns of substance use. Factors such as increased neurodevelopmental symptoms (lower IQ, higher rates of ASD) and poorer social functioning in 22qDel may help explain this distinction from substance use patterns observed in CHR-P individuals.

Authors: Mat Su Ahmad Suhaizi , Adamchuk Viacheslav I. 
Published: April 2023

Measuring apparent soil electrical conductivity (ECa), using galvanic contact resistivity (GCR) and electromagnetic induction (EMI) techniques, is frequently conducted to reveal spatial soil heterogeneity. Various studies have demonstrated the possibilities for significant changes in the measured quantities over time with relatively stable spatial structure representations. The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of temporal drift and operational noise for three popular ECa mapping instruments. They were placed in stationary positions approximately 8 m apart in an area with relatively low ECa. Temporal drift was assessed using a series of 4.5-h data logs recorded under different weather conditions (from extremely hot to near freezing temperatures). The two EMI instruments were also used to quantify the effect of minor changes in the height, pitch and roll of the sensor with respect to the ground. These operational noise tests were replicated over several days. Our results reveal the GCR measurements of ECa, along with perpendicular coplanar EMI measurements, have shown relatively strong stability over time. Each operational effect introduced measurement uncertainties comparable to the impact of a change in temperature and soil water content.
Phase coherence of solar wind turbulence from the Sun to Earth
Authors: Nakanotani Masaru , Zhao Lingling , Zank Gary P. 
Published: April 2023

The transport of energetic particles in response to solar wind turbulence is important for space weather. To understand charged particle transport, it is usually assumed that the phase of the turbulence is randomly distributed (the random phase approximation) in quasi-linear theory and simulations. In this paper, we calculate the coherence index, Cϕ, of solar wind turbulence observed by the Helios 2 and Parker Solar Probe spacecraft using the surrogate data technique to check if the assumption is valid. Here, values of Cϕ = 0 and 1 indicate that the phase coherence is random and correlated, respectively. We estimate that the coherence index at the resonant scale of energetic ions (10 MeV protons) is 0.1 at 0.87 and 0.65 au, 0.18 at 0.29 au, and 0.3 (0.35) at 0.09 au for super (sub)-Alfvénic intervals, respectively. Since the random phase approximation corresponds to Cϕ = 0, this may indicate that the random phase approximation is not valid for the transport of energetic particles in the inner heliosphere, especially very close to the Sun (∼0.09 au).

BackgroundWith the development of anatomical segmentectomy, the thoracic surgeons must master the anatomical variations of the pulmonary bronchi and vessels. However, there are only a few reports showing anatomic variations of the lingular segment (LS) using three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography (3D-CTBA). Thus, the present study aimed to analyze the bronchovascular patterns of the LS and explore the correlation between the lingular segment artery (LSA) and left superior division veins (LSDV).Materials and methodsThe 3D-CTBA data of the left upper lobe (LUL) were collected from patients who had undergone lobectomy or segmentectomy at Hebei General Hospital between October 2020 and October 2022. We reviewed the clinical characteristics and variations in bronchi and pulmonary vessels and grouped them according to different classifications.ResultsAmong all 540 cases of 3D-CTBA, the branching patterns of LSA included 369 (68.3%) cases with the interlobar origin, 126 (23.3%) cases with the interlobar and mediastinal origin, and 45 (8.3%) cases with the mediastinal origin. The branching pattern of LSDV could be classified into three forms: Semi-central vein type (345/540, 63.9%), Non-central vein type (76/540, 14.1%), and Central vein type (119/540, 22.0%). There were 51 cases (9.4%) with Non-central vein type, 50 cases (9.3%) with Central vein type, 268 cases (49.6%) with Semi-central vein type in the interlobar type, and 7 cases (1.3%) with Non-central vein type, 9 cases (1.7%) with Central vein type, 29 cases (5.4%) with Semi-central vein type in the mediastinal type. Moreover, the Non-central vein type, the Central vein type, and the Semi-central vein type accounted for 18 (3.3%), 60 (11.1%), and 48 (8.9%) in the interlobar and mediastinal type. Combinations of the branching patterns of the LSA and LSDV were significantly dependent (p &lt; 0.005). The combinations of the interlobar and mediastinal type with the Central vein type, and the interlobar type and the mediastinal type with the Semi-central vein type were frequently observed.ConclusionsThis study found the relationship between the LSA and LSDV and clarified the bifurcation patterns of the bronchovascular in the LS. Our data can be used by thoracic surgeons to perform safe and precise LS segmentectomy.

The aim of this research was to investigate the bioremediation conditions of copper in synthetic water. In the present study, copper ions accumulation efficiency was determined using various genetically modified strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (EBY100, INVSc1, BJ5465, and GRF18), Pichia pastoris (X-33, KM71H), Escherichia coli (XL10 Gold, DH5α, and six types of BL21 (DE3)), and Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) OverExpress expressing two different peroxidases. Viability tests of yeast and bacterial strains showed that bacteria are viable at copper concentrations up to 2.5 mM and yeasts up to 10 mM. Optical emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma analysis showed that the tolerance of bacterial strains on media containing 1 mM copper was lower than the tolerance of yeast strains at the same copper concentration. The E. coli BL21 RIL strain had the best copper accumulation efficiency (4.79 mg/L of culture normalized at an optical density of 1.00), which was 1250 times more efficient than the control strain. The yeast strain S. cerevisiae BJ5465 was the most efficient in copper accumulation out of a total of six yeast strains used, accumulating over 400 times more than the negative control strain. In addition, E. coli cells that internally expressed recombinant peroxidase from Thermobifida fusca were able to accumulate 400-fold more copper than cells that produced periplasmic recombinant peroxidases.

The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of anti-T. gondii and anti-N. caninum antibodies in equids that carry out traction work in Northeastern Brazil, and to establish the potential risk factors associated with seropositivity for these agents. Blood samples were collected from 322 traction equids (horses, donkeys and mules) in urban areas of 16 municipalities in the State of Paraíba, Brazil. The samples were sent for serological diagnosis using the Immunofluorescence Antibody Test (IFAT). Epidemiological questionnaires were given to the owners to assess the possible risk factors associated with infections. It was observed that 13.7% (44/322, CI: 10.9–16.5) of the equids tested positive for anti-T. gondii antibodies and 5% (16/322, CI: 2.6–7.4) tested positive for anti-N. caninum antibodies. Conducting traction work for over four years was considered a risk factor associated with T. gondii infection (odds ratio: 6.050; CI: 4.38–8.54, p = 0.025). There were no risk factors associated with N. caninum infection. It was concluded that traction equids have a significant prevalence of anti-T. gondii and anti-N. caninum antibodies in urban areas in the State of Paraíba, with an identified risk factor for seropositivity for anti-T. gondii as conducting traction work for more than four years.

Las enterobacterias presentan un perfil de resistencia natural que las hace capaces de hidrolizar los antibióticos betalactámicos mediante la producción de enzimas denominadas betalactamasas y además su material genético es capaz de mutar y adquirir mecanismos de resistencias múltiples, por lo que son los principales microorganismos implicados en el origen de enfermedades en el ser humano, como la bacteriemia, peritonitis, neumonía nosocomial, infecciones urinarias y meningitis. En el estudio realizado en el Hospital General IESS de la ciudad de Portoviejo, se analizó la prevalencia de bacterias Gram negativas productoras de carbapenemasas aisladas de pacientes hospitalizados, el género con mayor frecuencia fue el masculino con un 70% siendo la edad media mayor a 61 años, cuya situación resulta de consideración, al ser estos pacientes más susceptibles y difíciles de tratar. De 1.139 aislamientos en diversas áreas y que correspondían en su mayoría a clínica de varones (63%). Se obtuvo una prevalencia del 4% de bacterias Gram negativas con mecanismos de resistencia a los carbapenémicos, donde las de mayor frecuencia en aislamiento fueron Klebsiella pneumoniae y Acinetobacter baumannii; mientras que la distribución fenotípica fue de 100% de carbapenemasas tipo KPC (Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemasas). La prevalencia de las bacterias Gram negativas correspondió en un 60% a Klebsiella pneumoniae productoras de carbapenemasas.

Authors: Snizhok O. , Shevchenko T. 
Published: April 2023

Goal. Determine the impact of tillage and protection system on weed species and the development of diseases and pests of corn on grain in the Western Polissia zone.
Methods. The research is based on field experiments using methods: visual — to determine phenological phases of growth and development of culture; calculation — to determine the development of diseases, pests, parameters of the structure of crop and harvest capacity of culture; chemical — to determine the content of nutrients in the soil; mathematical and statistical — to assess the reliability of research results; calculation-comparative — for the analysis of economic efficiency.
Results. It has been established that tillage has a significant impact on the accumulation of harmful organisms. First of all, this is clearly observed by the number of weeds. For example, with overdeep tillage, the number of weeds was 277.1 pcs./m2, while with soil loosening it was 2.0 times higher (545.6 pcs./m2). The number of weeds, depending on the tillage, when spraying with herbicides, was in the range of 12.5—53.5 pcs./ m2, which is 22.2—10.2 times lower than in the variants without herbicides. A slightly smaller difference in the influence of soil cultivation was monitored on the development and spread of diseases and pests.
Conclusions. Under tillage and spraying with herbicides, the number of weeds was 96.8% lower compared to the control. Technical efficiency fungicide Retengo, k.e. (pyraclostrobin, 200 g/l) (0,5 l/ha) against fusarium was at the level of 87.1—90.0%, gray rot — 78.3—80.1% and helminthosporiosis 79.4—81.4%, depending on the tillage. Against them, the main deterrent was still chemical protection. In the variants without an insecticide, the population of maize hairy aphids was 85%. The use of Belt 480 SC, k.s. (flubendiamide 480 g/l) (0.15 l/ha) made it possible to reduce the plant population by the pest by 3.5 times. The 20—22 cm overdeep tillage and 10—12 cm shallow tillage ensured corn yields of 6.90 and 6.28 t/ha of grain, respectively, compared to the 6—8 cm soil loosening (5,36 t/ha). However, the combination of tillage with an intensive protection system allowed to increase the yield to 11.83 and 10.63 t/ha.

Goal. To specify the species composition of phytophages and to investigate their harmfulness in winter rapeseed crops.
Methods. The research was conducted in the Steppe zone in 2022 (Odesa region, Odesa district, Khlybodarske settlement, «Odesa State Agricultural Research Station of the Institute of Water Problems and Land Reclamation of the National Academy of Sciences»). Clarification of the species composition and the dynamics of the number of phytophages was carried out according to generally accepted methods.
Results. During the surveys, insects belonging to 6 orders (Coleoptera, Heteroptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera) were found, of which 47,3% were direct pests of winter rape, 10.8% were pests of grain crops (there were fields nearby, and research plots of grain and ear crops), and 41.9% are entomophages. At the time of research, there were an average of 46 rapeseed plants per 1 m2, with 36.7 ± 2.19 pods per plant. During visual inspections before harvesting, characteristic damage by the cabbage stem borer (Ceutorhynchus quadridens Panz.) was noted on the rape stalks — 31.0% of plants/ m2, and the plants were broken near the root neck. During the growth of the stem, the larval stages of this pest were found, which penetrated into the middle, biting the petiole of the leaf, then moved to the root neck, where they fed on the tissues of the plant for a long time, causing its fragility. It was found that damage to pods per 1 m2 was 21.9%. Of them, the seed gnat (Ceutorhynchus assimilis Payak.) — 18.0%, the cabbage pod mosquito (Dasyneura brassicae Winn.) — 3.9%. Total crop losses from the above-mentioned pests on winter rapeseed crops amounted to — 52.9%.
Conclusions. It was established that the share of pests in the entomocomplex of rape agrocenosis was — 47.3%. Damage to winter rapeseed crops by cabbage seed borer was — 18.0%, cabbage pod mosquito — 3.9%, and cabbage stem borer — 31.0%, which in total resulted in 52.9% yield loss.

ABSTRACT-World is upgrading day by day and education system is going side by side using that technologies. Automatic data inputs is a data entry process which means taking information from different sites and sorting them out in a particular section. This is very important part for any business and automating process helps this work easy as it is quite tough to do all the work for a single person. It is very essential for one student to get knowledge about machine language as it will be helpful for them in the future. Machine learning technology helps to keep all the data up to date and also for cyber security. Children are always finding something which is easy to remember and funny, hence learning new thing using robotic function helps them a lot. After COVID-19, most of the education filed has started online classes and using MI and robotic things, it is easy for them to gaining knowledge that are not able to attend schools.
