Life in the hole: practices and emotions in the cultural political economy of mitigation deterrence
Authors: Markusson Nils , McLaren Duncan , Szerszynski Bronislaw , Tyfield David , Willis Rebecca 
Published: March 2022

AbstractNegative emissions techniques (NETs) promise to capture greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and sequester them. Since decarbonisation efforts have been slow, and the climate crisis is intensifying, it is increasingly likely that removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere will be necessary to meet internationally-agreed targets. Yet there are fears that pursuing NETs might undermine other mitigation efforts, primarily the reduction (rather than removal) of greenhouse gas emissions. This paper discusses the risk of this phenomenon, named ‘mitigation deterrence’. Some of us have previously argued that a cultural political economy framework is needed for analysing NETs. Such a framework explains how promises of future NETs deployment, understood as defensive spatio-temporal fixes, are depoliticised and help defend an existing neoliberal political regime, and its inadequate climate policy. Thus they risk deterring necessary emissions reductions. Here we build on that framework, arguing that to understand such risks, we need to understand them as the result of historically situated, evolving, lived practices. We identify key contributing practices, focussing in particular but not exclusively on climate modelling, and discuss how they have been reproduced and co-evolved, here likened to having dug a hole for ourselves as a society. We argue that understanding and reducing deterrence risks requires phronetic knowledge practices, involving not just disembodied, dispassionate technoeconomic knowledge-making, but also strategic attention to political and normative issues, as well as emotional labour. Reflecting on life in the hole hurts.
A review of academic literacy research development: from 2002 to 2019
Authors: Li Dongying 
Published: March 2022

AbstractAcademic literacy as an embodiment of higher-order language and thinking skills within the academic community bears huge significance for language socialization, resource distribution and even power disposition within the larger sociocultural context. However, although the notion of academic literacy has been initiated for more than twenty years, there still lacks a clear definition and operationalization of the construct. The study conducted a systematic review of academic literacy research based on 94 systematically selected research papers on academic literacy from 2002 to 2019 from multiple databases. These papers were then coded respectively in terms of their research methods, types (interventionistic or descriptive), settings and research focus. Findings demonstrate (1) the multidimensionality of academic literacy construct; (2) a growing number of mixed methods interventionistic studies in recent years; and (3) a gradual expansion of academic literacy research in ESL and EFL settings. These findings can inform the design and implementation of future academic literacy research and practices.

Abstract

Context
Limited studies have compared the effects of combined oral contraceptives (COCs) containing natural estrogens and synthetic ethinylestradiol (EE) on reproductive hormones.

Objective
To compare estradiol valerate (EV) + dienogest (DNG), EE + DNG, and DNG alone (active control) on levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), ovarian steroids, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), and the free androgen index (FAI).

Methods
This spin-off study from a randomized trial enrolled 59 healthy, 18 to 35-year-old ovulatory women, outpatients at Helsinki and Oulu University Hospitals, Finland, who were randomized to EV 2 mg + DNG 2-3 mg (n = 20); EE 0.03 mg + DNG 2 mg (n = 20); and DNG 2 mg (n = 19) for 9 weeks. Blood samples were drawn at baseline, and at 5 and 9 weeks. Age and BMI were comparable between groups; 3 women discontinued.

Results
EV + DNG suppressed FSH by −27% (−51% to −3%) (median [95% CI]) vs EE + DNG, −64% (−78 to −51), P = 0.04, but AMH levels decreased similarly by −9% (−18 to −0.1) vs −13% (−28 to 0.2), P = 0.38, respectively. EV + DNG increased SHBG levels by 56% (30% to 82%) and EE + DNG by 385% (313% to 423%), P &lt; 0.001. Total testosterone decreased by 16% (−27% to −5%) in the EV + DNG group but it did not decrease in the EE + DNG group, whereas the FAI decreased by −39% (−54% to −25%) vs −72% (−78% to −67%), P &lt; 0.001. DNG alone did not induce changes in any of these parameters.

Conclusion
Compared with EE + DNG, treatment with EV + DNG resulted in milder pituitary downregulation and reduced induction of hepatic SHBG synthesis—potentially carrying more beneficial health effects.

Chirurgia bariatryczna w ostatnich latach jest najbardziej rozpowszechnioną, a zarazem najskuteczniejszą metodą w leczeniu otyłości. Jest najskuteczniejszą opcją terapeutyczną dla pacjentów otyłych, wiąże się jednak z dużym ryzykiem zabiegu operacyjnego, oraz powikłaniami późnymi związanymi z zaburzeniami hormonalnymi, hipoglikemią, osteoporozą, zespołem złego wchłaniania. W ostatnich latach zwiększa się liczba operacji bariatrycznych z udziałem niezależnych procedur medycznych. Pacjent oraz lekarze biorący udział w planowanej operacji i dalszym leczeniu powinni być świadomi możliwych zagrożeń i powikłań związanych z otyłością patologiczną i zastosowanym leczeniem. Rakowiak żołądka (GC) zwany guzem neuroendokrynny żołądka jest rzadkim nowotworem wywodzącym się z komórek enterochromafinopodobnych żołądka. Ponad 75% GC to widoczne zmiany w endoskopii, pozostała część znajduje się w błonie śluzowej i nie jest identyfikowana w badaniu endoskopowym. Dlatego wymagana jest mapa żołądka z biopsjami odbytu i dna żołądka, aby potwierdzić jego obecność. W aktualnych klasyfikacjach NET zaleca się, aby guzy neuroendokrynne (pNET) guzy trzustki oraz guzy NET w innych lokalizacjach, były klasyfikowane jako guzy neuroendokrynne (NET)

Abstract. Wakhidah AZ, Silalahi M, Yudiyanto. 2021. Ethnobotanical study of traditional steam bath bafufu in Lako Akediri Village, West Halmahera, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 765-774. Indonesia's high biological and cultural diversity has resulted in various plant uses for medicinal purposes, including for health steam bath or spa. Bafufu is a traditional steam bath performed by Lako Akediri villagers in West Halmahera, Indonesia which uses concoctions made from various plant species. It is usually used to maintain women's bodies after postpartum and treat menstrual pain. This study was conducted to study the local knowledge of Lako Akediri villagers about bafufu spa concoction, including the diversity of plant and plant parts used to make the concoction and the community's management of such plants, and the efficacy of the concoction. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 30 respondents, comprised of indigenous medical practitioners and local women. Additionally, we collected and identified the specimens of plants used in bafufu. We recorded 20 plant species used in bafufu with the most used parts of plants being leaves and fruits. The local community obtained plants from 3 sources, i.e., cultivation, semi-wild, or wild. As many as 7 species were cited more than 6 times with kananga [Cananga odorata (Lam.) Hook.f. & Thomson] is the most cited (10 citation). Those plants have been well studied regarding their phytochemical content in maintaining women's reproduction health. Such most used plants have chemical compounds including liriodenine, punicalagins, curcumin, myristic acid, eugenol and citral a-citral b. The bafufu spa concoction has various benefits, such as maintaining the health of the reproductive organs reducing menstrual pain and body odor.

Abstract. Witasari LD, Huang FC, Schwab W. 2022. Identification and characterization of strawberry FvGELP1 (Fragaria vesca GDSL esterase/lipase).Biodiversitas 23: 907-915. Fruit softening is primarily the result of the hydrolytic enzymes activity. Esterases are reasonable candidates due to their putative role in cell wall components degradation. This study aimed to identify and characterize a new enzyme related to strawberry fruit ripening. Esterase activity was detected in the native PAGE of protein extract isolated from Fragaria ×ananassared fruit. Amino acid sequence analysis of the protein band revealed several esterases as possible candidates. GDSL esterase/lipase from Fragaria vesca(gene27964; FvGELP1) was chosen for cloning purposes and further analysis. Quantitative RT-PCR of FvGELP1in plant tissues of F. vescaindicated high expression levels in fruit, in particular in early developmental stages. The gene FvGELP1(1,161 bp) was amplified from F. vescafruit cDNA and expressed as a 43 kDa HisTag fusion protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.FvGELP1 possesses four conserved residues Gly43-Asp44-Ser45-Asn46. FvGELP1 contains Ser45, Asp364, and His367 as the catalytic triad. Esterase assays of FvGELP1 resulted in high levels of the aromatic alcohol products by applying ?-naphthyl acetate (?NA), p-nitrophenyl acetate (pNPA), phenyl acetate, and benzyl acetate as substrates. It could be suspected that FvGELP1 plays a role in strawberry fruit ripening and might be involved in the hemicellulose degradation, presumably by deacetylation of the polysaccharide.

Abstract. Sofiyanti N, Fitmawati, Isda MN, Agesti ARA, Sari M, Pranata S. 2022. Baccaurea Lour. (Phyllanthaceae Martinov-Malpighiales), underutilized plant from Riau, Indonesia and its phytochemical study. Biodiversitas 23: 937-946. Baccaurea (Phyllantaceae) is one of underutilized plants in Riau Province, Indonesia. Our finding in some districts shows the variation of morphological characters of Baccaurea members. However, there is no detailed morphological study of these genera reported from this province. This study aimed to identify Baccaurea species from Riau and characterized their morphology, as well as, phytochemical contents. The specimens were collected from the field, documented and observed in detail their morphological characters. Phytochemical screening had been conducted using qualitative tests of a total of six secondary metabolites (alkaloid, terpenoid, steroid, tannin, flavonoid and saponin). A total of seven Baccaurea species were identified in this study. The main characteristic that can be used to distinguish each species are leaf characteristics (venation, size and shape), floral pattern and fruit characters. The phytochemical contents vary among the examined Baccaurea. Steroid and tannin are absent from all of examined specimens. Terpenoid is commonly found in all fruit parts of all specimens. The result of this study provides the first detailed morphological record as well as phytochemical data of Baccaurea from Riau.

Abstract. Darmawati S, Ethica SN, Prastiyanto ME, Depamede SN, Putri EO, Kamaruddin M. 2022. Molecular characterization of a 42 kDa subunit pili protein of Salmonella typhi causes typhoid fever. Biodiversitas 23: 962-968. Blood culture is the gold standard for diagnosing typhoid fever, but it has limitations such as media and laboratory equipment, specimen volume, and examination time. However, the Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend serology due to its low sensitivity.The purpose of this study was to determine the molecular properties of the protein pilli of Salmonella typhi(S. typhi) that the findings can be used to develop a typhoid fever diagnostic reagent. The SDS-PAGE method was used, as well sequence analysis with ProtParam, ProtScale, and PSIPRED. The SDS-PAGE profile reveals one major protein (42 kDa) and fourteen minor proteins. The pili protein subunit 42 kDa had an amino acid (AA) sequence with a length of 390 AA, according to bioinformatics analysis. According to the ProtParam results, the pili protein subunit 42 kDa has good stability with a value of 40 and is a hydrophilic protein with an average GRAVY value of -0.950. PSIPRED results show that among the secondary structural elements, coil strand predominates, followed by -helix and -strand. It is concluded that this protein is immunogenic and that it can be used to develop a more specific and sensitive diagnostic reagent for typhoid fever.

Abstract. Putri ND, Sulistyowati L, Aini LQ, Muhibuddin A, Trianti I. 2022. Screening of endophytic fungi as potential antagonistic agents of Pyricularia oryzae and evaluation of their ability in producing hydrolytic enzymes. Biodiversitas 23: 1048-1057. One of the most important phytopathogenic fungi is Pyricularia oryzae, as it is the causative agent of rice blast diseases, which is the most destructive and detrimental disease in rice. Biological control using endophytic fungi can be an alternative to control blast diseases. Endophytic fungi are fungi that colonize internal plant tissues without apparently damaging the host. The aim of this study was to isolate endophytic fungi that produce hydrolytic enzymes and to investigate their ability to suppress blast disease. In this study, fifty strains of endophytic fungi were successfully obtained from rice leaves. Three fungi with the highest inhibition against P. oryzae were identified as Trichoderma asperellum, Curvularia chiangmaiensis, and Fusarium solani by analyzing fungal ITS sequence. They can produce chitinase ranging from 1.43 to 151 ?g/mL and cellulase ranging from 1.83 to 4.09 ?g/mL, which were hydrolytic enzymes that account for the lysis of phytopathogens. This enzymatic activity can cause damage and degradation of cell walls. SEM results revealed that these endophytic fungi probably excreted wall lytic enzymes or antifungal substances, inflicting wrinkles and disintegrating P. oryzae mycelium.
LiDAR-camera-system-based 3D object detection with proposal selection and grid attention pooling
Authors: An Pei , Liang Junxiong , Ma Jie 
Published: March 2022

3D object detection is an important module for autonomous driving. A LiDAR camera optical system is suitable for accurate object detection, for it provides both 3D structure and 2D texture features. However, as LiDAR and a camera have different sensor properties, it is challenging to generate effective fusion features. Motivated by this, we propose, to the best of our knowledge, a novel LiDAR–camera based 3D object detection method. First, proposal selection is presented to utilize accurate 2D proposals predicted from RGB images to improve the quality of 3D proposals. It contains a (i) proposal addition and (ii) proposal filter. To increase the recall rate, the proposal addition generates extra 3D proposals via back-projecting 2D proposals on LiDAR depth. The proposal filter removes unrelated 3D proposals by matching 2D proposals with intersection-over-union thresholds. Then, considering the LiDAR mechanism, grid attention pooling is employed to estimate weights of grid points from LiDAR and image features to generate salient pooling features. Comparisons and ablation studies demonstrate that the proposed method achieves better performance and benefits the advanced application of a LiDAR camera system.
Fission product isotope ratios as event characterization tools Part I: Particulate debris, isotopic activity ratios
Authors: Finkelstein Y. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The main goal of this work is to develop quantitatively reliable tools that can be used to identify the origin of a nuclear event, e. g. discriminate between a nuclear explosion and an accidental reactor release. A model has been developed, which takes into account the wide range of conditions and parameters, which may exist in connection with nuclear events. Using the model, specific isotope activity ratios are defined, promising to be effective in event characterization, while reducing the influence of various nuclear scenarios to a minimum. Besides, an attempt was made to quantify the concept of “short irradiation reactor” and to set its limits, as related to an event characterization method.
Graphene-substrate fabricated oxides and zinc oxide catalysts for the degradation of the methylene blue in the industrial wastewater
Authors: Khan Adil , Muhammad Sayyar 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The release of unsafe color dyes into various industrial effluents can harm the environment and human health and therefore needs remediation. The current research assesses the environmental friendly photo-less catalytic performance of zinc oxide/reduced graphene oxide (ZnO/RGO) nanocomposites, prepared via green synthetic route, for the degradation, and decontamination of methylene blue (MB) dye from industrial aqueous effluents and compared with that of zinc oxide (ZnO), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and reduced graphene oxide (RGO). The materials were characterized for surface morphology, functional groups, and crystallinity by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, respectively, showing that ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) were well-formed on the RGO surface and were having uniform pore sizes and large surface area. The degradation pattern of MB from its 40, 60, 80, and 100 ppm solutions by employing the degradation materials were examined using UV–Visible spectral analysis. The pH before and after the degradation of the MB in all the sample solutions was noted and found to change slightly after the degradation of MB. The results demonstrate that the ZnO/RGO nanocomposites display a better catalytic degradation efficiency (99.57%) as compared to the other degradation materials with the order of efficiency as ZnO/RGO > RGO > H2O2 > ZnO which shows that the degradation efficiency of ZnO (∼14%) can be significantly improved while fabricating its nanocomposite with RGO (99.57%). These findings can be utilized on a large-scale decontamination of dyes from industrial wastes without the involvement of light i.e., photo-less degradation.

Published: March 2022

Substantial variances in the bulk band gap of lithium tetraborate single crystal determined from numerous theoretical calculations as well as from experimental measurements give rise to the problem what is the true value of Eg for that crystal. In this review, we analyze in detail all available theoretical and experimental data regarding the bulk band gap published by different authors and suggest that the experimental value of = (7.5 ± 0.3) eV determined from the optical absorption edge is the most appropriate value. This is in good agreement with Eg = 7.5 eV calculated via modified linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) method.

Authors: Malyk O.P. , Syrotyuk S.V. 
Published: March 2022

In the present paper the way to describe the energy spectrum, the wave function and self- consistent potential in a semiconductor with a sphalerite structure at a predetermined temperature is proposed. Using this approach within the framework of the supercell method the temperature dependences of the ionization energy of intrinsic acceptor defects in cadmium telluride are calculated. In addition, on the basis of this method, the temperature dependences of the heavy holes effective mass, optical and acoustic deformation potentials, as well as of the heavy holes scattering parameters on ionized impurities, polar optical, piezooptic and piezoacoustic phonons were established. Within the framework of short-range scattering models the temperature dependences of the heavy hole mobility and Hall factor in CdTe crystals with defects concentrations 5´*1022 - 5*´1024 cm-3 are considered.
