Abstract
Two-line hybrid rice based on Photoperiod/thermo-sensitive genic male sterile (P/TGMS) lines has been developed and applied widely in agriculture due to the freedom in making hybrid combinations, less difficulty in breeding sterile lines, and simpler procedures for breeding and producing hybrid seed. However, there are certain risks associated with hybrid seed production; if the temperature during the P/TGMS fertility-sensitive period is lower than the critical temperature, seed production will fail due to self-pollination. In a previous study, we found that the issue of insufficient purity of two-line hybrid rice seed could be initially addressed by using the difference in tolerance to β-triketone herbicides (bTHs) between the female parent and the hybrid seeds. In this study, we further investigated the types of applicable herbicides, application methods, application time, and the effects on physiological and biochemical indexes and yield in rice. The results showed that this method could be used for hybrid purification by soaking seeds and spraying plants with the bTH benzobicylon (BBC) at safe concentrations in the range of 37.5-112.5 mg/L, and the seeds could be soaked in BBC at a treatment rate of 75.0 mg/L for 36–55 h without significant negative effects. The safe concentration for spraying in the field is 50.0-400.0 mg/L BBC at the three-leaf stage. The two methods of hybrid seed purification can reach 100% efficiency without compromising the nutritional growth and yield of hybrid rice. Unlike BBC, Mesotrione (MST) can only be sprayed to achieve hybrid purification at concentrations between 10.0 and 70.0 mg/L without affecting yield. bTH stress significantly increases the index of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the hybrid LLY942 in the safe concentration range. The peroxidase (POD) enzyme activity showed a significant upward trend with increasing herbicide concentration, which kept the content of the lipid peroxide malondialdehyde (MDA) within a certain range that did not affect the normal growth of the rice hybrids. Our study establishes a foundation for the application of the bTH seed purification strategy and showed that it is the most economical, convenient, and effective way to improve the purity of two-line hybrid rice seeds.

Abstract
Background: Bronchiectasis is a chronic airway disease characterized by permanent and irreversible abnormal dilatation of bronchi. Several studies have reported the development of bronchiectasis after renal transplantation (RT), but no prospective study specifically assessed bronchiectasis in this population. This study aimed to compare features of patients with bronchiectasis associated with RT to those with idiopathic bronchiectasis.
Methods: Nineteen patients with bronchiectasis associated with RT (RT-B group) and 23 patients with idiopathic bronchiectasis (IB group) were prospectively included in this monocentric cross-sectional study. All patients underwent clinical, functional, laboratory and CT-scan assessments. Sputum was collected from 25 patients (n = 11 with RT-B and n = 14 with IB) and airway microbiota was analysed using an extended microbiological culture.
Results: Dyspnea (>2 on mMRC scale), number of exacerbations, pulmonary function tests, total bronchiectasis score, severity and prognosis scores (FACED and E-FACED), and quality of life scores (SGRQ and MOS SF-36) were similar in the RT-B and IB groups. By contrast, chronic cough was less frequent in the RT-B group than in the IB group (68% vs96%, p = 0.03). The prevalence and diversity of the airway microbiota in sputum was similar in the two groups.
Conclusion: Clinical, functional, thoracic CT-scan and microbiological characteristics of bronchiectasis are overall similar in patients with IB and RT-B. These results highlight that in RT patients, chronic respiratory symptoms and/or airway infections should lead to consider the diagnosis of bronchiectasis. Further studies are required to better characterize the pathophysiology of RT-B including airway microbiota, its incidence and impact on therapeutic management.

Abstract
Background
Multicystic biliary hamartoma (MCBH) is an extremely rare benign liver lesion characterized by a gross well-circumscribed multicystic honeycomb appearance. This report presents a MCBH case with a marked peribiliary gland component which showed unusual histology.
Case presentation:
A 63-year-old Japanese male was admitted to our hospital for a detailed examination of a hepatic cystic lesion, which was originally detected 14 years ago and had slowly enlarged. A preoperative imaging study revealed a well-demarcated multicystic lesion without communication to the biliary tracts. The possible clinical diagnoses were mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) or MCBH. The lesion was successfully resected by purely laparoscopic right anterior sectionectomy considering the malignant potential of the lesion and hepatic functional reserve of the patient. The cut surfaces of resected specimens grossly exhibited a well-circumscribed multicystic lesion with a thick septum. Histologically, the cyst wall was covered by cuboidal epithelial cells resembling epithelium of the bile duct while abundant small ducts, which morphologically resembled peribiliary glands, were observed among the fibrous stroma of the thick septum. Although possible pathological diagnosis varied, including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct, biliary adenofibroma, MCN and MCBH, the lesion was finally diagnosed as MCBH with a marked peribiliary gland component.
Conclusions
MCBH can contain abundant peribiliary glands in the fibrous stroma. A pathologist should be careful not to diagnose such peribiliary glands in MCBH as neoplastic glands.

Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) networks have become an increasingly attractive target of cyberat-tacks. Powerful Machine Learning (ML) models have recently been adopted in the implementation of network intrusion detection systems to protect IoT networks. For the successful training of such ML models, selecting the right data features is crucial, maximising the detection accuracy and computational efficiency. This paper comprehensively analyses the importance and predictive power of feature sets for the detection of network attacks. Three feature selection algorithms: chi-square, information gain and correlation, have been utilised to identify and rank data features. The attributes are fed into two ML classifiers: deep feed-forward and random forest, to measure their attack detection performance. The experimental evaluation considered three datasets: UNSW-NB15, CSE-CIC-IDS2018, and ToN-IoT in their proprietary flow format. In addition, the respective variants in NetFlow format were also considered, i.e., NF-UNSW-NB15, NF-CSE-CIC-IDS2018, and NF-ToN-IoT. The experimental evaluation explored the marginal benefit of adding individual features. Our results show that the accuracy initially increases rapidly with adding features but converges quickly to the maximum. This demonstrates a significant potential to reduce the computational and storage cost of intrusion detection systems while maintaining near-optimal detection accuracy. This has particular relevance in IoT systems, with typically limited computational and storage resources.

Abstract
Numerous skarn-type Sn deposits have been identified in the Nanling Range (South China), of which the Shizhuyuan W-Sn-Bi-Mo, Xianghualing Sn, Jinchuantang Sn-Bi, and Hehuaping Sn deposits are the largest. The Xianghualing deposit, which is the focus of this study, hosts a resource of 0.17 Mt Sn grading 0.93–1.39 wt% SnO2. Whether the distal skarn-type mineralization and the cassiteritesulfide vein-type orebody in the Xianghualing district are genetically related to the Laiziling granitic pluton, which produced the proximal skarn-type Sn mineralization, however, is still unknown. The Xianghualing Sn mineralization occurs exclusively as cassiterite and has been subdivided into four ore-types: (1) lenticular proximal skarn ore (Cst I) containing the mineral assemblage cassiteritepyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-actinolite-wollastonite; (2) layered distal skarn ore (Cst II) containing the mineral assemblage cassiterite-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-actinolite; (3) vein cassiterite-sulfide ore (Cst III) distal from the skarn and associated granite containing the mineral assemblage cassiterite-arsenopyrite-pyrrhotite-muscovite-fluorite; and (4) veinlet Sn-Pb-Zn ore (Cst IV) distal from the skarn and associated granite containing the mineral assemblage cassiterite-galena-sphalerite-topaz-quartz. Here, we report the results of in situ laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric (LA-ICPMS) U-Pb age determinations for garnet from the Xianghualing skarn and the above four types of cassiterite. Our age determinations indicate that there were two independent magmatic-hydrothermal events at ~160 and 156~150 Ma, both of which led to Sn mineralization. The first Sn mineralization event at ~160 Ma (Cst IV U-Pb ages of 159.6 ± 1.4 to 158.5 ± 0.8 Ma) is interpreted to have been associated with a speculative unexposed granitic pluton, which is coeval with the nearby Jianfengling granite intrusion. The second Sn mineralization event at 156~150 Ma (Cst I to Cst III U-Pb ages of 155.9 ± 0.7 to 152.3 ± 1.1 Ma and garnet U-Pb ages of 153.6 ± 7.6 to 151.5 ± 3.5 Ma) is genetically related to the adjacent Laiziling granitic intrusion (152.8 ± 1.2 Ma, zircon U-Pb age). This event was responsible for the bulk of the Sn resource (&gt;95%). Our age determinations provide convincing evidence for superimposed Jurassic Sn mineralizing systems at Xianghualing. They also show the value of combining garnet and cassiterite U-Pb age determinations to constrain the timing of skarn and Sn mineralization and distinguish discrete Sn mineralizing events in a protracted metallogenic history.

Abstract
Ryabchikovite, ideally CuMg(Si2O6), a new pyroxene-group mineral (IMA No. 2021-011) was discovered in exhalations of the active Arsenatnaya fumarole, Tolbachik volcano, Kamchatka, Russia. The associated minerals are diopside, hematite, cuprospinel, fluorophlogopite, anhydrite, johillerite, tilasite, and aphthitalite-group sulfates. Ryabchikovite forms thin (up to 25 μm), light brown to reddish-brown epitactic crusts on short-prismatic brownish-gray crystals of diopside (up to 0.5 mm). The new mineral is optically biaxial (+), α = 1.685(5), β = 1.690(5), γ = 1.703(4), and 2V (meas) = 60(15)°. The average chemical composition (wt%, electron microprobe data) is: MgO 18.05, CaO 0.77, CuO 26.46, ZnO 2.23, Al2O3 0.93, Fe2O3 1.89, SiO2 50.10, total 100.43. The empirical formula calculated based on 6 O atoms per formulas unit is (Mg1.05Cu0.78Zn0.06Fe0.063+Ca0.03)(Si1.96Al0.04O6). Electron backscattered diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction show that ryabchikovite is a Cu,Mg-ordered analog of clinoenstatite. Ryabchikovite adopts the space group P21/с and has the following unit-cell parameters: a = 9.731(9), b = 8.929(8), c = 5.221(4) Å, β = 110.00(6)°, V = 426.3(7) Å3, and Z = 4. Ryabchikovite is named in honor of the outstanding Russian geochemist and petrologist Igor Dmitrievich Ryabchikov (1937–2017). Our studies reveal that copper analogs of rock-forming minerals could be found in fumarolic systems. Their crystallization does not require high temperatures or/and pressures (below 500 °C/Pa).
Assessment of limited downstream nitrate dosing for sulphide control in pressure sewers: case study in Germany
Authors: Despot Daneish , Reinhold Luisa , Barjenbruch Matthias 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Odour release from sewer systems is an established environmental issue affecting many cities worldwide. A key indicator for the severity of the odour problem in sewer systems is linked to the amount of sulphide produced and released as hydrogen sulphide (H2S) into the urban environment. For this reason, an in-depth understanding of the biochemical processes of sulphurous compounds in sewer systems is an underlying base point for designing and implementing odour control strategies for sewer systems. This contribution focuses on a field study on the monitoring and assessing chemical dosing on a 9.0 km pressure sewer in Ueckermünde, Germany. Online H2S measurements indicated a daily reoccurrence of sulphide spikes between 4:00 and 8:00 am during the monitoring period. During this period, the wastewater slugs exiting the sewer section remained in the dosed section of the pipe the longest, and regeneration of sulphide production began after 3 hours, causing the hydrogen sulphide spikes. The proposed dosing strategy provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for sulphide build-up in long pressure sewers that connect rural areas to centralised wastewater collection and treatment systems.

Retain or Rotate: The Association between Frequent Auditor Switching and Audit Quality
Authors: Cowle Elizabeth N. , Decker Ryan P. , Rowe Stephen P. 
Published: September 2022

SYNOPSIS
Regulators have long expressed concerns about auditor changes and the detrimental impact of opinion shopping on the audit market. Whereas prior studies have examined how single-instance auditor switching impacts audit outcomes, we examine whether frequent auditor switching impacts audit outcomes. We find that more frequent auditor switching is associated with lower audit quality, but that this effect is mitigated in the presence of higher internal and external monitoring. We also find that frequently switching companies have lower audit quality than companies that switch auditors, but do not frequently switch auditors. Taken together, our evidence indicates that a subset of companies participates in frequent auditor switching and that such behavior is detrimental to the audit market. Our findings can inform regulators and practitioners about some of the ramifications of frequent auditor switching and help inform auditor switching regulations and client acceptance procedures.

Encapsulation as a Way to Improve the Phytogenic Effects of Herbal Additives in Broilers – An Overview
Authors: Sugiharto Sugiharto , Ayasan Tugay 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The prohibition of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) and the restriction of synthetic antioxidants have had a negative impact on the productivity and health of broiler chickens. To ensure sustainability in broiler production, poultry nutritionists continue to look for alternatives to AGP and antioxidants. Using herbal ingredients is one alternative that is widely used today. However, the use of herbal ingredients in small doses is often constrained by bioavailability problems, thereby reducing the effectiveness of using herbal additives for broiler chickens. At higher doses, the use of herbal ingredients can increase feed costs and negatively impact palatability, digestion and protein utilization, and liver health. Encapsulation is a method that can improve the stability, palatability, and bioavailability of herbal additives, which may enhance the efficacy of herbs as AGP and antioxidant alternatives for broilers. This review article provides a comprehensive insight into the application of and problems related to herbal additives, benefits of encapsulation technology on herbs, and use of encapsulated herbs in broiler production.

Abstract
Currently, alternative plant oils with pro-health properties are sought. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of feeding strawberry, raspberry and rapeseed oils in rats’ diet on the fatty acid profile of muscle tissue. Adult rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=7) and fed with the addition of rapeseed, raspberry or strawberry seed oil, respectively, or control group. After a 6-week treatment period, the fatty acid profile in m. latisssimus dorsi, was analyzed using gas chromatography. The dietary strawberry or raspberry seed oil led to a significant increase in C-18:2 n-6 ad C-18:3 n-3 level in muscle fat when compared to control group. At the same time, in the group receiving raspberry oil, an unfavorable phenomenon of lowering the EPA content was observed, while a tendency towards a decrease in DHA level was observed in groups supplemented with both raspberry and strawberry oil. Both oils as a source of PUFA n-3 and n-6, increased ALA n-3 and LA n-6 fatty acids in latissimus dorsi muscle, but due to different activity of enzymes taking apart in conversion of polyunsaturated fatty acids to their long chain derivatives in rats, the research on pig model would be advisable.
Feeds of animal origin in rabbit nutrition – a review
Authors: Gugołek Andrzej , Kowalska Dorota 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Rabbits are classified as obligate herbivores. However, under natural conditions, some members of the family Leporidae incorporate animal products into their diets. Therefore, it seems biologically justified to supplement the diets of farmed rabbits with feeds of animal origin as sources of protein, fat and minerals. The aim of this review was to describe, from a historical perspective, the use of various feeds of animal origin in rabbit nutrition. The applicability of by-products from mammal, poultry, fish and invertebrate processing for rabbit feeding was evaluated, including the future prospects for their use. A review of the available literature revealed that various animal-based feeds can be valuable protein sources in rabbit diets, but their inclusion levels should not exceed 5-10%. Studies investigating their efficacy have been conducted since the 1970s. In some regions of the world, the use of animal-derived protein in livestock feeds was prohibited due to the risk of spreading bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). However, the interest in animal by-products as protein sources in livestock diets is likely to increase since the above ban has been lifted.

Authors: Mikicin Mirosław 
Published: September 2022

Abstract

Study aim: The most important psychological mechanisms that are responsible for sports activity are arousal and attention. Study aim the relationships between the level of arousal and the level of attention, an attempt has been made to explain the mechanisms responsible for sportsman activity.

Material and method: The study was conducted in a group of sportsman-students (68 individuals) using the Vienna Test System: FLIM, a test of flicker/fusion frequency, which is a measurement procedure allowing to determine the functional readiness of the central nervous system in terms of arousal and COG (Cognitron), which is a test measuring the level of attention.

Results: The following in statistical analysis of the data were observed: inversely proportional relationships of image fusion frequency (FLIM1) during the recording of the level of arousal with: the correct acceptance of stimuli (COG1, r = –0.287), the correct rejection of stimuli (COG2, r = –0.320), the time of correctly accepted stimuli (COG3, r = –0.299), and with the time of correctly rejected stimuli (COG4, r = –0.317) in the attentional activity.

Conclusion: Fusion frequency indicates the level of fatigue and is inversely proportional to the correctly accepted stimuli in attentional activity, the correctly rejected stimuli in attentional activities, and the duration of the attentional actions.
