description: Midwater trawling is a critical component of acoustic-trawl fisheries surveys, and it is used to determine the species and size composition of acoustically sampled fish schools. Changes in midwater trawl gear can influence the catch, and therefore potentially bias the survey data. The Alaska Fisheries Science Center conducts acoustic-trawl surveys of walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) in Alaska waters and recently switched to a new midwater LFS1421 trawl (LFS) from an older Aleutian Wing Trawl (AWT).

Presenter:  Dr Hannah Mary Thomas T, CMC Vellore, India 

  Workshop link, Recorded video presentation (audio is available, Unfortunately due to technical issues, the visuals of presentation are not being recorded) 

The workshop brings together active researchers from academia with industrial experts who use AI to solve real-world problems, and aim to make AI sustainable. It is a platform for exchanging new ideas and fostering future research collaborations on using AI technology responsibly, and understanding its environmental impact. This aim lies at the core of the event’s sponsor, Surrey Institute for People Centred AI and the world-leading research on fundamental AI, carried out at CVSSP. With the advent of technology and computation power in recent years, AI has become widely used by industry and academia across various applications, including natural language processing (NLP), and healthcare. However, the energy efficiency and impact of large-scale AI models like ChatGPTs and Chatbots on the environment have not been well explored yet. AI and Sustainability is one of the six strategic research challenge areas at the core of the Surrey Institute for People-Centred AI (PAI) and supports our ethos to deliver a step-change in AI research, training and innovation . The workshop additionally is grateful for sponsorship from the Institute for Advanced Studies, Institute for Sustainability and EPSRC via the AI for Sound project. @universityofsurrey @EPSRCvideo #AI #sustainability #machinelearning #deeplearning

description: In spite of all efforts to reduce greenhouse gases, climate change has become a new reality that requires regional planning to provide effective solutions. This article focuses on commercial and industrial areas (Gewerbegebiete), which are important but often overlooked spaces, by means of examples in the Berlin-Brandenburg region. The article investigates whether and how regional planning can help these areas adapt to climate change. Three commercial and industrial areas in different spatial settings are examined, using an inventory of place-based measures, general standards, and regional networking of planning actors. This inventory is based on a backcasting analysis that compares normative future images of climate-adapted commercial and industrial areas with their current local situation. Spatially differentiated guidelines for the adaptation of commercial and industrial areas are then developed from a regional planning perspective by “climate-proofing” regional plans. These guidelines provide both place-based and general solutions for integrating and governing climate adaptation measures and standards into existing frameworks using a hands-on regional planning approach.

description: Abstract

Cerebral ischemic stroke is a leading cause of disability globally. There is growing interest in the concept of Neuroprotection as researchers seek new therapies to safeguard brain tissue and improve cognitive and motor functions. [1] The study aims to assess and compare the effectiveness of 70% ethanolic extract from Pongamia pinnata (P.pinnata) leaves on a stroke-induced model using Wistar rats. Male Wistar rats were used to create the stroke models and evaluate the impact of the leaf extract. The research focused on examining the effects of 400 mg of P.pinnata leaf extract on functional motor recovery. The rats were divided into four groups; G1, G2, G3, and G4, with six animals in each group. Rats were divided into 4 groups; G1, G2, G3 and G4, with 6 animals in each. Control (G1-Positive Control, with 0.9% Normal Saline (NS) support; G2-Sham control ( NS), G3- induced control group (NS) and G4- Treated with 400 mg ethanolic extract of PP (400mg + NS). Cresyl Staining was utilized to illustrate the presence of Nissl substance in neurons and cell nuclei, fluorescent microscopy was used for acridine orange staining to identify live and dead cells, and H & E staining was carried out to verify the histologic changes. The application of cresyl violet staining revealed neuroprotective changes in ischemic models treated with P.Pinnata extract. The results from cresyl violet, acridine orange, and H&E staining indicated that P.Pinnata leaf therapy exhibited significant antioxidant effects by preventing lipid peroxidation during ischemic conditions and restoring glutathione peroxidase enzymes to substantial levels.

description: This cross-sectional study explored the relationship between sexual minority stress and substance use among gay emerging adult men, a population vulnerable to health risk behaviors. Despite the documented link between minority stress and substance use problems, research on potential heterogeneity within this relationship among young gay men is limited, reflecting shortcomings in available healthcare and substance use treatment for this demographic. The study, conducted on 205 Internet-recruited participants, used cluster analysis to categorize individuals into homogeneous subgroups based on self-reported experiences of recent minority stress and evaluated between-group differences in (a) past-year alcohol risk behaviors, (b) drug use problems, and (c) negative consequences of substance use. The subgroups exhibited substantial variability in each of the five sexual minority stressors tested: degree of disclosure of sexual minority status to others, degree of concealment of sexual minority status to others, felt stigma, internalized sexual stigma, and self-reported experiences of everyday discrimination. The four groups were labeled: (1) High Identity Disclosure, Low Stigma; (2) High Identity Concealment, Low Stigma; (3) Average Identity Disclosure/Concealment, Highest Stigma; (4) Dual Identity, High Stigma. A MANOVA revealed significant between-group differences in substance use involvement, with the Highest Stigma cluster consistently reporting the highest scores for substance use involvement, and the High Identity Concealment group reporting the lowest substance use involvement. This study supports other research that highlights the need for tailored intervention and treatment services that address minority stressors to tackle co-occurring issues of stigma, discrimination, and harmful substance use.

description: Abstract

Background: A one-step therapy option for problematic infections is antibiotic-impregnated nailing, which provides stability. Unlike cement beads, it offers stability across the fracture site. The present study aimed to study compound fractures of the shaft of the tibia managed with an antibiotic-eluting tibial nailing system. Material and Methods: The current investigation was single-center, prospective, observational research, performed in patients over 18 years of either sex, who had open (complex Grade II, Grade IIIA) shaft of tibia fracture. Commercially available cytocompatible Gentamicin eluting tibial nail was employed. Results: In the present study, 50 cases were studied. Most of the surgeries are done less than 6 hours from the time of injury. The average time is about 8.05 hours +/- 3.45 hours. 48 patients achieved union (96 %). In the current study, a 96% union rate was attained, with 96% achieving excellent to good scores on the Lysholm scale, 4% achieving a fair result at the 6-month follow-up, and 100% achieving an excellent score at the 1-year follow-up. Conclusion: Antibiotic eluting nailing is a very successful one-stage treatment that reduces problems and achieves early bone union with less morbidity.

description: Abstract

This study investigated the utilization of Fermented Golden Apple Snail (FGAS) as a natural feed supplement for Philippine native pigs. The research aimed to determine the nutritive value of snail-derived amino acids, evaluate the impact of FGAS supplementation on pig production performance, and analyze its economic feasibility. FGAS was prepared through a fermentation process using indigenous microorganisms (IMO), and its proximate analysis revealed significant changes in nutrient composition compared to fresh golden apple snails. A feeding trial was conducted using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three treatments: a control group receiving only formulated ration, and two groups supplemented with 20 ml and 40 ml of FGAS per liter, respectively. Results indicated that pigs supplemented with FGAS exhibited higher weight gains and improved feed conversion ratios compared to the control group. Economic analysis revealed that despite higher initial expenses, pigs supplemented with FGAS, especially at a rate of 40 ml per liter, yielded higher gross sales and net profits per head, with lower feed costs per kilogram of weight gain. The study concluded that FGAS supplementation positively influenced growth performance, health, and economic feasibility in native pig farming operations. Recommendations included the utilization of FGAS as a sustainable feed supplement, optimization of supplementation levels, promotion of indigenous microorganisms in fermentation processes, and continued monitoring and evaluation of production practices. Overall, the findings suggest that FGAS holds promise as a valuable natural feed solution for enhancing the productivity, profitability, and sustainability of native pig farming in the Philippines.

description: Nu'uuli Pala Lagoon, located on the island of Tutuila, American Samoa, is the largest remaining and most threatened wetland in American Samoa. Various non-point pollution sources, such as solid waste, sewage, and animal feeding operations, have been documented in the vicinity of the Pala. In this study, the natural tracers radium (Ra) and radon (Rn) were used to characterize spatial and temporal variability in submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) into the Pala, estimate the residence time of water in the Pala, and quantify SGD. Kayak-based Rn surveys were conducted to map areas of high and low SGD, and samples were also collected from streams and springs flowing into the Pala. Fieldwork was conducted in August 2022 (dry season) and March 2023 (wet season). River discharge (m3/d) was greater in the wet season (18,854 – 34,157 m3/d) than in the dry season (1,780 m3/d). SGD into the Pala was also higher in the wet season (46,754 m3/d) than in the dry season (26,879 m3/d). This study also calculated radon fluxes (Bq/d) and SGD fluxes (m3/d), where the dry season had lower levels (22,925,592 Bq/d and 33,177 m3/d, respectively) than the wet season (33,006,545 Bq/d and 49,589 m3/d, respectively). Concentrations of nutrients (nitrate, ammonia, and phosphate) were measured, and nutrient fluxes into the Pala from rivers and SGD were estimated. Sampling of benthic macroalgae for δ15N in March 2023 found that all primary producer samples had a δ15N value (4.77 - 7.05‰, mean of 5.84‰) higher than fertilizer or atmospheric levels. Therefore, sewage or manure must be contributing some of the nitrogen supporting the Pala’s primary productivity. This study will be useful to local residents and environmental managers as it will allow for better understanding and better mitigation of pollution that threatens the ecological health of the Pala.
