Arrecifes de coral en el Mioceno Superior de la vertiente norte de la Sierra de Carrascoy (Murcia)
Authors: López-Buendía Ángel M. 
Published: September 2022

El borde meridional de la cuenca neógena de Mula durante el Mioceno superior-Plioceno estuvo constituido por un relieve, la actual Sierra de Carrascoy, formado por materiales de los complejos Maláguide y Alpujárride. En el margen noroccidental de este relieve los sedimentos neógenos son de naturaleza terrígeno-carbonatada, depositados en una estrecha plataforma marina, en deltas y abanicos deltáicos, y en ambientes fluvio-lacustres. Entre los sedimentos de plataforma del Tortoniense superior se encuentran arrecifes de coral de dimensiones reducidas. Se pueden reconocer cuatro fases de construcción arrecifal desarrolladas en condiciones ambientales diferentes. De abajo a arriba estas fases son: a) Nivel de parches de coral de escasa potencia (0,3-0,8 m) con gran extension lateral, y que forman unas estructuras mamelonadas o de media lenteja. Estan constituidos por Porites y Tarbellastraea laminares; b)Armazones arrecifales mayores, construidos por colonias ramosas de Tarbellastraea y Porites laminares. Este nivel puede correlacionarse estratigraficamente con el anterior; c) Pequefios parches de Porites laminares, ocasionalmente son ramosos, y Tarbellastraea en colonias de gran tamafio que se situan en la base de un conjunto de sedimentos calcareniticos; d)Parches aislados de Tarbellastraea y Porites que culminan los sedimentos calcareníticos antes citados.
Comparisons between the Cretaceous and Tertiary floras of central and southwest Europe: a commentary
Authors: Knobloch Erwin 
Published: September 2022

The well documented floras from the Lower Cretaceous of Spain are useful for a comparison with similar floras from Portugal, Germany, France and England. The Upper Cretaceous floras in Spain are characterized by only a few plant remains, in contrast to the rich floras from Bohemia. The genus Fenelopsis occurred worldwide in the Cretaceous. A mangrove vegetation with Nipa and Acrostichum as known from Spain spread along the Eocene shoreline from England-Belgium-France-Spain-Italy-Hungary to Ukraine. The flora from Sarreal near Tarragona is similar to that from Haring in Austria. Arctotertiary elements, whose frequency increased during the Oligocene in Bohemia and Germany, were developed less abundantly in Spain. A warm (subtropical) climatic oscillation during the Early Miocene has not been noted in Spain, but is well known in Central Europe. Leaves identified as Castanea atavia or Quercus kubinyi, which are widespread in Central Europe in Middle-Upper Miocene strata are apparently not well represented in Spain. There are some similarties between the flora from Cerdanya (Rerolle, 1884) and Crespia (Roiron, 1983) in NE Spain and that of Willershausen in Germany. The names of modern plants should not be used for Pliocene leaves. It is not possible to regard the flora from Crespia to be of Pleistocene age for it contains a high percentage of typically Neogene species (e.g. Zelkova zelkovaefolia, Acer integerrimun and Parrotia pristina).

Barriers to Adapting Water Supply Management to Climate Change in Nzoia River Basin, Kenya
Authors: Odwori Ernest Othieno 
Published: September 2022

Water is projected to be the most affected by climate change. Many national and county governments are now developing adaptation policies and plans in response to climate change; however, many factors could stop, delay or divert these adaptation strategies if they are not adequately identified and addressed. Research on adaptation barriers is increasing as the need for climate change adaptation becomes evident, but studies regarding identification and classification of barriers into cartegories and establishing strategies for overcoming such barriers remain limited. This research identified barriers to adapting water supply management to climate change, classified them into cartegories and went ahead to establish strategies for overcoming such barriers in adapting water supply management to climate change in Nzoia River Basin. The study used a cross-sectional survey design and a qualitative technique since major sector players' perspectives are critical in deciding the path of climate change adaptation in the basin. Three counties were randomly selected from Nzoia River Basin for study with Busia representing the lower catchment, Kakamega middle catchment and Trans Nzoia upper catchment. The study was carried out from May, 2017 to September, 2017. Stakeholders were carefully selected and consisted of water and climate change expert decision makers, practitioners, managers, scientists, academia, technology adopters, etc. Stakeholders were chosen based on their work portfolios or by other respondents' recommendations. Data collection involved questionnaires, in-depth expert-interviews, brainstorming sessions, focus group discussions, field observations and literature review. This study identified and ranked in order of priority the barrier clusters/cartegories for adapting water supply management to climate change in Nzoia River Basin as: Institutional and governance; Resources and funding; Leadership; Politics; Adaptation options/process; Science; Understanding; Technology/structural; Expertise; Attitudes, values and motivations of actors; Communication; and Personality issues. Individual barriers are seen to be highly interconnected and interdependent, allowing for the discovery of leverage areas for actions to maximize barrier elimination. This study provides valuable information for the national and county governments as they strive to develop climate change adaptation policies and plans in the basin.

Published: September 2022

Mobile wireless devices are constrained based on resources. Computation offloading provides a unique method for taking advantage of multiple mobile wireless devices to save energy and increase performance of these devices. In order to build a robust serious solution for a mobile wireless sensor network. There must be a scheme to ensure that the resources of the mobile wireless sensor network is managed adequately. However, computational offloading scheme was proposed by researchers. But this solution was dependent on a super node which manages the offloading process and is required to be online on the network at all time which consume time. The objectives of this study is to create a “broadcast and receive” table that can access a given node at a particular time interval without the need of having a super node online all the time. This method ensures that as nodes enter the network, they announce their resources which is then saved in the table. This information is updated at a given time interval by a monitoring service. When a node is to be removed from the network, the details of the resources of the node is removed from the table. The focus of the study is to evaluate the resource aware of node discovery in wireless sensor network.

Peace and security in urban centres remains key to their growth and development; however, slum areas remain dented with numerous aspects of insecurity. While a number of models have been sought, none has drawn a comparisons. This study compares two models of community policing in the quest to enhance peace and security among slum dwellers in Lira City. A qualitative approach was used with a case study research design and personal interviews were used to collect information from participants. While the study established that COP appear to yield more benefits than the traditional model, a combination of both can strengthen efforts to enhance peace and security seeing that majority of the dwellers. It is encouraged that continuous training be offered to key stakeholders so that community policing is treated as key issue of peace and security.

Authors: Nargus Shumaila 
Published: September 2022

Objective: Present studies were carried out to examine the susceptibility of larvae and adults of Aedes aegypti (Ae. aegypti) from laboratory and field populations of Lahore city against four major groups of commonly used insecticides; Imidacloprid 5% SC, phenyl-pyrazoles* (fipronil 2.5% EC), pyrethroids (Deltamethrin 2.5% SC) and organophosphates (DDVP 50% EC) world health organization standard procedures were observed.
Methods: For laboratory strain, adults and larvae were collected from the Insectary of the National Institute of Malaria Research and Training (NIMRT), Lahore, Pakistan. Insecticides of four major groups. Larval bioassays were conducted according to the World Health Organization procedure with minor modifications. Larval mortality was finalized after 48 hours for Deltamethrine, Imidacloprid, DDVP, and 72 hours for Fipronil.
Results: Larval and adult toxicity results were different for wild and laboratory strains exposed to different groups of insecticides. Regression analysis showed non-significant trends in mortality. Imidacloprid proved to be the most toxic to wild larval strains of Ae.aegypti collected from different localities of Lahore while Fipronil was also active for wild larval samples.
Conclusion: Deltamethrin showed the least activity against both adults and larval strains. The susceptibility of the field strains was lower than laboratory strains; the ratio varies from insecticide to insecticide.

Study Design: Frontline healthcare workers (FHW) were recruited in this study through the online survey method of data collection.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in five Regions of Ghana, namely Northern, Savannah, North East, Upper East and Upper West region. Data collection spanned a period of four weeks.
Methodology: A total of 120 frontline health personnel working out in five Regions of Ghana (Northern, Savannah, North East, Upper East and Upper West region) participated in the study. The study was conducted with the diagnostic survey method, using Zarit burden interview scale and a questionnaire of our authorship.
Results: The results revealed that 85% of FHW experienced more than average amount of burden whiles 60% of them suffered severe burden of care levels in pursuit of their duties for COVID-19 patients. The results from chi-square test of association between caregivers’ socio-demographic characteristics and severity of burden revealed that gender, marital status, educational qualification and caring for own children were significantly associated with caregiver burden level (P – value < 0.05). Factor analysis results identified seven psychological factors that underlies caregivers of COVID-19 and they were labeled as consequences of care giving on the caregiver; exhaustion and uncertainty; patient’s dependence; moral-guilt; helplessness; compensation and overwhelmed with care giving, which are consistent with prior studies. A multiple regression model results further affirmed that these seven psychological factors were significantly (P – value < 0.05) influencing the burden levels of FHW.
Conclusion: The ability of policy makers to address these experiences of FHW will have positive consequences on the overall containment of the pandemic.

Abstract

Objective
High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a highly conserved nuclear protein and participates in the immune response to pathogens in bony fish. In this study, the structure and function of HMGB1 in the cyprinid fish Schizothorax prenanti (SpHMGB1) were investigated.

Methods
The spatial structure of SpHMGB1 was predicted by CPHmodels. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR was used to detect the mRNA of SpHMGB1 in different tissues and Streptococcus agalactiae infection. The macrophage was treated with synthetic SpHMGB1-B box peptide to analyze the inflammatory activity.

Result
Structurally, SpHMGB1 had the conserved A box, B box, and acid tail compared with Zebrafish Danio rerio and mice Mus musculus. SpHMGB1 was universally expressed in various tissues, with the highest expression in the middle kidney. In vivo, SpHMGB1 was significantly induced in response to Streptococcus agalactiae infection in the blood and spleen. Synthetic SpHMGB1-B box peptide activated respiratory burst and up-regulated the messenger RNA expression of interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin-10, interferon regulatory factor 1, interferon regulatory factor 7, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 11-1, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 11-2, and toll-like receptor 4 in macrophages.

Conclusion
This study suggested that SpHMGB1 participated in the response to bacterial pathogens and that SpHMGB1-B box peptide played an important role in mediating the immune response of S. prenanti.
Three‐level meta‐analysis of the other‐race bias in facial identification
Authors: Lee Jungwon , Penrod Steven D. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe current research conducted a three‐level meta‐analysis with a total of 159 journal articles on the other‐race bias in facial identification, which had been published between 1969 and 2021. The effect size analysis yielded moderate pooled effect sizes of the other‐race bias on face identification—people showed higher hit rates and discriminability, lower false alarm rates, and more stringent criteria for own‐race faces than for other‐race faces. Results from the sensitivity analysis and publication bias analysis also supported the robustness of the other‐race bias. In moderation analyses, participant race (White vs. non‐White) and retention interval between the study and test phases produced stable moderating effects on estimates of the other‐race bias. Despite an increase in racial diversity for decades in our society, the current meta‐analysis still demonstrated robust effects of the other‐race bias in facial identification, replicating findings from the previous meta‐analyses.
