description: Xylella fastidiosa (XF) is a phytopathogenic bacterium leading to losses and damage to large agricultural and forestry areas causing great economic and environmental impacts. This quarantine organism (A2 list, European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO)) has its impact determined by the subspecies, the host, the vectors transmission, and environmental factors, but an early detection will help farmers to take preventive measures by reducing impact, costs, and damage. In this line, Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) are two methods that are becoming important due to their rapidity, sensitivity and their portable format applied to various environments and for plant pathogen detection. This present work proposes to make the first step towards developing a simple, accurate and sensitive real time detection tool to be used in the field. This consists in coupling LAMP with a 3rd generation sequencing technology, the ONT MinION MK1c device. LAMP allows, without prior DNA extraction, a portable, simple, fast, and inexpensive sensitive and specific detection and ONT MinION MK1C assures the diagnostic accuracy. For XF LAMP detection, we used previously designed primers for rimM gene and newly designed primers for at least Multi-Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) of three housekeeping genes: cysG, malF and rpoD. Currently, our preliminary results show that we can detect and confirm the XF presence using rimM gene primers. This method allows to reduce diagnosis from weeks to hours. This study is the first step towards applying fast, accurate and sensitive methods to prevent plant diseases in an early stage, avoiding pathogen field dissemination.

description: Intergroup contact has long been considered as an effective strategy to reduce prejudice between groups. However, recent studies suggest that exposure to opposing groups in online platforms can exacerbate polarization. To further understand the behavior of individuals who actively engage in intergroup contact in practice, we provide a large-scale observational study of intragroup behavioral differences between members with and without intergroup contact. We leverage the existing structure of NBA-related discussion forums on Reddit to study the context of professional sports. We identify fans of each NBA team as members of a group and trace whether they have intergroup contact. Our results show that members with intergroup contact use more negative and abusive language in their affiliated group than those without such contact, after controlling for activity levels. We further quantify different levels of intergroup contact and show that there may exist nonlinear mechanisms regarding how intergroup contact relates to intragroup behavior. Our findings provide complementary evidence to experimental studies in a novel context and also shed light on possible reasons for the different outcomes in prior studies.

description: Rhopalorhynchus Wood-Mason, 1873
 Diagnosis. Trunk extremely attenuate, fully segmented; lateral processes widely spaced; abdomen minute, more or less ventral in position; proboscis very slender, spindle-shaped, with a narrow, stalk-like basal part, with single tiny tooth mid-dorsally on inflated part; chelifores lacking; palps slender, 10-segmented with very tiny second segment; oviger in both sexes, slender, 10-segmented, strigilis with rows of spatulate spines often with serrate margin, single large distal spine on tenth segment, with terminal claw; legs slender, with sparse tiny setae; femur inflated distally; tarsus and propodus cylindrical, mostly straight, without spines; auxiliary claws lacking. Cement glands unknown.
 Remarks. The genus Rhopalorhynchus differs from most other pycnogonids in the attenuated body, the spindle-shaped proboscis with dorsal tooth and with elongated stalk, and absence of both chelifores and palps. This genus includes 11 known species.
 In general, Rhopalorhynchus species inhabit shallow tropical waters, whereas Hedgpethia species occur in temperate to cool waters. Species of Rhopalorhynchus inhabit the Indian Ocean, from South Africa and the Red Sea to western Australia, and also the western Pacific Ocean, from the Philippines to southeast of Australia. Rhopalorhynchus claudus Stock, 1975 from Barbados, western Atlantic Ocean, is distributed disjunctly from the rest of the genus. We further discuss distributional differences between Hedgpethia and Rhopalorhynchus in Remarks for Hedgpethia.

description: This communication reviews different results on epidemiological parameters’ inference and risk-based surveillance obtained from the modelling of the Xylella fastidiosa outbreak in France. Firstly, statistical and mechanistic models have been used to infer plausible values for (or the role of) several epidemiological parameters, such as environmental conditions favoring the establishment of the infection, hidden host compartments, the date and location of introduction of the pest in Corse island, as well as host-to-vector and vector-to-host capacities of disease transmission. Secondly, we will show how the aforementioned models can predict the risk of establishment of the disease in previously uncolonized area, and how the resulting risk maps are exploited to design risk-based surveillance strategies. In terms of surveillance, we will also present a newly proposed desktop approach for passive surveillance based on text mining and web-scraping.

description: This study explores the epidemiological trends of pathogens and respiratory co-infections in Messina, focusing on various age groups from pediatric to elderly patients. Acute respiratory tract infections (ARI) significantly impact global morbidity and mortality rates, particularly in children under five. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data indicates 17.2 billion cases of upper respiratory tract infections globally in 2019. The study analyzes the prevalence of respiratory pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Post-summer 2022, there was a significant rise in respiratory diseases, with peaks in different viruses, especially among vulnerable age groups. A retrospective study on 1,286 patients at the University Hospital "G. Martino" in Messina employed the FilmArray (Biofire RP2.1 by Biomerieux) for pathogen detection. The results identified SARS-CoV-2, Human Rhinovirus, and RSV as the most frequently isolated pathogens. Co-infections were prevalent, particularly in children aged 0-4 years, with seasonal infection peaks in the winter months. The study concludes that improving diagnostic tools and surveillance systems enhances patient management and reduces antibiotic use and ICU admissions. The findings highlight the necessity for ongoing surveillance and targeted preventive measures, particularly for young children and the elderly. The introduction of new vaccines and monoclonal antibodies offers promising future prevention strategies. This research underscores the critical need for robust surveillance and prevention programs to mitigate the impact of respiratory infections, thereby improving public health outcomes.

description: Global change is currently inducing shifts in the distribution of many species, including harmful pests. In the present study, we addressed the potential future response of Xylella fastidiosa-related diseases to ongoing climate change. Using available data documenting the worlwide Xf distribution and bioclimatic data, we fitted correlative species distribution models to depict the climatic niche of harmful Xf-related diseases (e.g. Pierce’s disease). We then predicted the potential climatic suitability in Europe for these diseases under future climate conditions simulated by global circulation models considering various future scenario of greenhouse gas emissions. Models predict that some region including economically important agricultural areas (e.g. most of wine-producing regions of Western Europe) might likely experience an important increase in climatic suitability for the pathogen by the period 2040-2060. These results are crucial for European agriculture and, are important for the design of future control and monitoring strategies as well as the implementation of research projects.

description: We study the current noise through an unbiased quantum electron pump and its mesoscopic fluctuations for arbitrary temperatures and beyond the bilinear response. In the bilinear regime, we find the full distributions of the noise power and the current-to-noise ratio for a chaotic quantum dots with single-channel and many-channel ballistic point contacts. For a dot with many-channel point contacts we also calculate the ensemble-averaged noise at arbitrary temperature and pumping strength. In the limit of strong pumping, a new temperature scale appears that corresponds to the broadening of the electron distribution function in the dot as a result of the time-dependent perturbations.

description: Background:  Early diagnosis of breast cancer is essential for effective treatment and improved survival rates. A longer gap between the appearance of symptoms and the initiation of therapy results in advanced disease and lower survival.

Objectives: to assess burden of the diagnosis delay and its associated factors among Sudanese women with breast cancer.  

Methods:  A prospective, descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at Radiation and Isotope Centre of Khartoum (RICK) in Khartoum, Sudan. Relationship between the independent variables and the main outcome of the study was determined by Chi-square test and Spearman's rho correlation.

Results: A total number of 149 women participated in the study. A total of 58.4% of patients delayed seeking medical advice for more than three months. The delay was associated with older age (p = .001), seeking traditional healing (p < .001), fear of stigma (p < .001), and fear of treatments side effects (p < .001).

Conclusion: This study sheds light on the high prevalence of delayed presentation and the role of factors such as limited access to healthcare services, financial strains, and cultural beliefs contributing to the delay. These findings show the need for collaborative approaches to address the challenges surrounding breast cancer in Sudan

description: The number of classical paths of a given length, connecting any two events in a (pseudo) Riemannian spacetime is, of course, infinite. It is, however, possible to define a useful, finite, measure $N(x_2,x_1;σ)$ for the effective number of quantum paths [of length $σ$ connecting two events $(x_1,x_2)$] in an arbitrary spacetime. When $x_2=x_1$, this reduces to $C(x,σ)$ giving the measure for closed quantum loops of length $σ$ containing an event $x$. Both $N(x_2,x_1;σ)$ and $C(x,σ)$ are well-defined and depend only on the geometry of the spacetime. Various other physical quantities like, for e.g., the effective Lagrangian, can be expressed in terms of $N(x_2,x_1;σ)$. The corresponding measure for the total path length contributed by the closed loops, in a spacetime region $\mathcal{V}$, is given by the integral of $L(σ;x) \equivσC(σ;x)$ over $\mathcal{V}$. Remarkably enough $L(0;x) \propto R(x)$, the Ricci scalar; i.e, the measure for the total length contributed by infinitesimal closed loops in a region of spacetime gives us the Einstein-Hilbert action. Its variation, when we vary the metric, can provide a new route towards induced/emergent gravity descriptions. In the presence of a background electromagnetic field, the corresponding expressions for $N(x_2,x_1;σ)$ and $C(x,σ)$ can be related to the holonomies of the field. The measure $N(x_2,x_1;σ)$ can also be used to evaluate a wide class of path integrals for which the action and the measure are arbitrary functions of the path length. As an example, I compute a modified path integral which incorporates the zero-point-length in the spacetime. I also describe several other properties of $N(x_2,x_1;σ)$ and outline a few simple applications.

description: Wheat blast (Magnaporthe oryzae Triticum) in Bangladesh and South America is recognized as one major limiting factor of wheat production. Its control using chemical pesticides raises concerns about food safety and pesticide resistance, which have dictated the need for alternative blast management approach, nutrient supplementation could be an ecofriendly alternative. Experiments were carried out under confined net house condition for two consecutive cropping seasons. Single doses of the nutrients (Si, B and Zn) were incorporated during soil preparation. Plants of the wheat blast susceptible variety BARI Gom-26 were inoculated with spores (1 x 107 spores ml-1) of Magnaporthe oryzae Triticum at blast vulnerable pre-heading stage of 52 days age. Typical wheat blast symptoms of spike bleaching from top to downward appeared on sight 14 days after inoculation i.e., 66 days age of the crop. Incidence and severity of blast bleaching of spike were scored for four times starting from 68 days age @ three day’s interval. None of the nutrients could stop the incidence of blast on wheat; however, some nutrients reduced the blast incidence significantly. Solo application of Si, B and Zn or combination of two caused significant reduction of spike bleaching. With the mixed application of Si, B and Zn, > 47% reduction of wheat blast severity was obtained. The results revealed that the soil application of silicon, zinc and boron had a synergistic effect on the intensity of blast disease of wheat.

Family Physician Program

description: Background: Family physicians hold a central role within the healthcare service delivery systems of most nations. In the context of Iran, although the family physician program has been introduced in only two provinces, its expansion to other provinces has encountered certain obstacles and is presently suspended. This study is centered on elucidating the barriers and challenges that hinder the effective implementation of the family physician program in urban areas of Iran.
Methods: The qualitative nature of this study dictated the selection of participants via purposeful sampling, comprising health system policy-makers, senior administrators, and physicians. To gather the insights of these experts, a semi-structured interview approach was employed. The interviewing process persisted until data saturation was achieved, yielding a total of 32 participants. Analytically, the grounded theory approach was employed to meticulously analyze the collected data. This involved the formulation of open and axial codes, subsequently progressing to selective coding, which facilitated the identification of overarching themes and corresponding sub-themes.
Results: The preeminent challenge encountered in the endeavor to implement the urban family physician program was ascribed to conflicting interests among stakeholders, a challenge that occupied the central position as the core category. Delving deeper, factors precipitating this challenge included the intricacies of the payment mechanism, and contextual variables encompassing stewardship, structural intricacies, financial considerations, and cultural elements. The main stakeholders, including specialist physicians, reacted resistance against the implementation. Reverse referral was also another coping strategy by specialist physicians. This collective array of factors coalesced to thwart the nationwide rollout of the policy initiative.
Conclusions: The resolution of the impediments to implementing urban family physician policies necessitates a comprehensive re-evaluation of stakeholders and restructuring of payment system. Furthermore, proactive efforts towards resolving the intricate contextual challenges within the healthcare system are imperative to facilitate the successful implementation of these policies.

description: A numerical study is presented of the 3d Gaussian Random Field Ising Model at T=0 driven by an external field. Standard synchronous relaxation dynamics is employed to obtain the magnetization versus field hysteresis loops. The focus is on the analysis of the number and size distribution of the magnetization avalanches. They are classified as being non-spanning, 1d-spanning, 2d-spanning or 3d-spanning depending on whether or not they span the whole lattice in the different space directions. Moreover, finite-size scaling analysis enables identification of two different types of non-spanning avalanches (critical and supercritical) and two different types of 3d-spanning avalanches (critical and subcritical), whose numbers increase with L as a power-law with different exponents. We conclude by giving a scenario for the avalanches behaviour in the thermodynamic limit.

description: The calibration process of long baseline stellar interferometers requires the use of reference stars with accurately determined angular diameters. We present a catalog of 374 carefully chosen stars among the all-sky network of infrared sources provided by Cohen et al. 1999. The catalog benefits from a very good sky coverage and a median formal error on the angular diameters of only 1.2%. Besides, its groups together in a homogeneous handy set stellar coordinates, uniform and limb-darkened angular diameters, photometric measurements, and other parameters relevant to optical interferometry. In this paper, we describe the selection criteria applied to qualify stars as reference sources. Then, we discuss the catalog's statistical properties such as the sky coverage or the distributions of magnitudes and angular diameters. We study the number of available reference stars as a function of the baseline and the precision needed on the visibility measurements. Finally, we compare the angular diameters predicted in Cohen et al. 1999 with existing determinations in the literature, and find a very good agreement.

description: The reverse shock in the ejecta of core-collapse supernovae is potentially able to destroy newly formed dust material. In order to determine dust survival rates, we have performed a set of hydrodynamic simulations using the grid-based code AstroBEAR in order to model a shock wave interacting with clumpy supernova ejecta. Dust motions and destruction rates were computed using our newly developed external, post-processing code Paperboats, which includes gas drag, grain charging, sputtering and grain-grain collisions. We have determined dust destruction rates for the oxygen-rich supernova remnant Cassiopeia A as a function of initial grain sizes and clump gas density. We found that up to 30 % of the carbon dust mass is able to survive the passage of the reverse shock if the initial grain size distribution is narrow with radii around ~10 - 50 nm for high gas densities, or with radii around ~0.5 - 1.5 $μ$m for low and medium gas densities. Silicate grains with initial radii around 10 - 30 nm show survival rates of up to 40 % for medium and high density contrasts, while silicate material with micron sized distributions is mostly destroyed. For both materials, the surviving dust mass is rearranged into a new size distribution that can be approximated by two components: a power-law distribution of small grains and a log-normal distribution of grains having the same size range as the initial distribution. Our results show that grain-grain collisions and sputtering are synergistic and that grain-grain collisions can play a crucial role in determining the surviving dust budget in supernova remnants.

description: В статье рассматривается механизм муниципального контроля и влияние изменений в законодательстве на эффективность его работы при управлении земельными ресурсами субъектов. Муниципальный контроль в настоящее время выступает важнейшей частью общей регуляторной политики государства, оказывает заметное влияние на такие сферы общественной жизни как земельные отношения, благоустройство, архитектурных облик населенных пунктов, качество окружающей среды, развитие малого бизнеса и многое другое. Все эти сферы напрямую влияют на качество жизни граждан. Поэтому место муниципального контроля в системе регуляторной политики государства должно быть понятным, а формы его реализации обеспечивать достижение установленных целей. Как видим все выше сказанное определило актуальность темы статьи.

description: Background: Equity in health service delivery ensures that resources are distributed based on need, minimizing barriers to access and reducing health disparities. Hospital beds are a critical healthcare resource, essential for providing timely and effective medical care. This study aims to evaluate the equity in the distribution of hospital beds in Lorestan Province, western Iran, using the Gini coefficient and Lorenz curve as analytical tools.


Methods: Data on the number of hospital beds and population statistics for each city in Lorestan were collected from the Lorestan University of Medical Sciences and the Statistical Center of Iran. The equity of hospital bed distribution was assessed using the Gini coefficient and Lorenz curve, with analyses conducted using R statistical software.


Results: Lorestan Province, with a population of 1,678,873, has significant disparities in hospital bed distribution. The Gini coefficient for hospital beds was 0.27, indicating moderate inequality. The Lorenz curve showed a substantial deviation from the equity line, highlighting the imbalance. Khorramabad and Aligudarz exhibited the highest inequality, while Rumeshkan, Kuhdasht, and Poldokhtar had more equitable distributions.


Conclusion: The study reveals notable inequities in hospital bed distribution in Lorestan Province, emphasizing the need for targeted policy interventions. Strategic resource allocation, infrastructure development, and policy reforms are essential to enhance healthcare equity. Continuous monitoring and consideration of additional healthcare resources and socioeconomic factors are recommended for comprehensive future assessments.

description: Ag(111) films were deposited at room temperature onto H-passivated Si(111)-(1x1) substrates, and subsequently annealed at 300 C. An abrupt non-reactive Ag/Si interface is formed, and very uniform non-strained Ag(111) films of 6-12 monolayers have been grown. Angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy has been used to study the valence band electronic properties of these films. Well-defined Ag sp quantum-well states (QWS) have been observed at discrete energies between 0.5-2eV below the Fermi level, and their dispersions have been measured along the GammaK, GammaMM'and GammaL symmetry directions. QWS show a parabolic bidimensional dispersion, with in-plane effective mass of 0.38-0.50mo, along the GammaK and GammaMM' directions, whereas no dispersion has been found along the GammaL direction, indicating the low-dimensional electronic character of these states. The binding energy dependence of the QWS as a function of Ag film thickness has been analyzed in the framework of the phase accumulation model. According to this model, a reflectivity of 70% has been estimated for the Ag-sp states at the Ag/H/Si(111)-(1x1) interface.

description: Болезни органов пищеварения занимают четвертое место среди причин смертности в России. Доля умерших от них растет. К 1990 году она не достигала 3% от общего числа умерших, а уже в 2016 году составила 3,8% (51,8 случаев на 100 тысяч населения). По распространенности заболеваний в 2016 году болезни органов пищеварения занимают третье место и составляют 9,74%, а среди людей старшего возраста – второе место – 10,10%. В последнее время значительно возросла частота и распространенность заболеваемости поджелудочной железы. Заболеваемость хроническим панкреатитом в странах Европы составляет 4-8 случаев, а распространенность – 25 случаев на 100 тыс. населения. По данным исследований в России уровень заболеваемости патологией поджелудочной железы в 2012 г. составил 226 случаев на 100 тыс. населения, распространенность – 2471 на 100 тыс. Первичная инвалидизация при этом виде патологии достигает 15%, занимая второе место после инвалидизации больных с заболеваниями печени.

description: Wavefront cleaning by single-mode fibers has proved to be efficient in optical-infrared interferometry to improve calibration quality. For instance, the FLUOR instrument has demonstrated the capability of fluoride glass single-mode fibers in this respect in the K and L bands. New interferometric instruments developped for the mid-infrared require the same capability for the 8-12 um range. We have initiated a program to develop single-mode fibers in the prospect of the VLTI mid-infrared instrument MIDI and of the ESA/DARWIN and NASA/TPF missions that require excellent wavefront quality. In order to characterize the performances of chalcogenide fibers we are developping, we have set up an experiment to measure the far-field pattern radiated at 10 um. In this paper, we report the first and promising results obtained with this new component.

description: Following the outbreak of the plant bacterium Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca ST53 in 2013, the “Olive Quick Decline Syndrome” has wreaked havoc in Italy’s Puglia region, wiping out hundred thousands of olive trees throughout the southernmost provinces. Over the years, various degrees of susceptibility and symptom expression have been confirmed. Two Xylella-resistant olive varieties, Leccino and FS17 or Favolosa, have been identified and authorised for planting within the Infected Area in a move to boost the revival of the hard-hit olive oil industry, as per Resolution of the Regional Council N. 200 of 5 February 2019, and in keeping with EU Plant Protection Regulations. In order to hasten fruit set in newly-established orchards, given that self-sterility and/or self-incompatibility are commonly reported in olive and all potential pollinisers of the self-sterile Leccino are known to be susceptible to the bacterium, a trial was conducted in 2019 and 2020 to assess sexual compatibility of FS17 (self-compatible) and Leccino. A Leccino orchard was identified in the countryside of Gagliano del Capo where 6 plants in the preflowering stage were randomly selected. On each mother plant 4 combinations were tested with 2 replicates each: non-pollinated Leccino; Leccino exposed to free pollination; Leccino (seed stock) x Leccino (with pollen originating from plants raised in the same plot); Leccino x FS17. Fruits were counted 30 days after treatment, following the physiological fruit drop of July and at harvesting. The findings demonstrate that FS17 may be considered a polliniser of Leccino, as the average fruits exceed the percentage (3%) of treated flowers, in line with yield data available in the literature. Their sexual compatibility is based on genetic factors as well on phenological factors due to a partial overlapping of the flowering periods with Leccino that reaches the full flowering around one week later FS17.
