description: Soil microorganisms play crucial roles in soil nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, fertility maintenance and crop health and production. To date, the responses of microorganisms, such as microbial activity, diversity, community structure and nutrient cycling processes, to biochar addition have been widely reported. However, the relationships between soil microbial groups (bacteria, fungi and microscopic fauna) and biochar physicochemical properties have not been summarized. In this review, we conclude that biochar affects soil microbial growth, diversity and community compositions by directly providing growth promoters for soil biota or indirectly changing soil basic properties. The porous structure, labile C, high pH and electrochemical properties of biochar play an important role in determining soil microbial abundance and communities, and their mediated N and P cycling processes, while the effects and underlying mechanisms vary with biochar types that are affected by pyrolysis temperature and feedstock type. Finally, we highlight some issues related to research methodology and subjects that are still poorly understood or controversial, and the perspectives for further research in microbial responses to biochar addition.

description: The rapid growth in the world population resulted in an increase of the freshwater needs in many sectors. Groundwater is the most important freshwater source specially for arid and semi-arid regions due to lack of surface water sources and low precipitation rates in those regions. In this study, monthly groundwater quality data were collected from eleven well fields in Sharjah over the period of 2004-2017. Water quality parameters including bicarbonate, calcium, chloride, fluoride, magnesium, sodium and sulphate were selected for the analysis. In the study, water quality index (WQI) process is used to develop groundwater quality index (GWQI) for Sharjah using above mentioned water quality parameters. Mann-Kendall and Spearman’s Rho tests were adopted as non-parametric trend tests for temporal (trend) analysis of GWQI, whereas inverse distance weighting interpolation was used in GWQI spatial trend analysis. Temporal trend analysis results showed significant trends in 8 out of 11 well fields. Spatial analysis showed the highest values for salinity ions in the well fields closest to the northern region, whereas the lowest values were detected in the southern region.

description: Signals from the pre-T cell receptor and Notch coordinately instruct β-selection of CD4–CD8–double negative (DN) thymocytes to generate αβ T cells in the thymus. However, how these signals ensure a high-fidelity proteome and safeguard the clonal diversification of the pre-selection TCR repertoire given the considerable translational activity imposed by β-selection is largely unknown. Here, we identify the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) machinery as a critical proteostasis checkpoint during β-selection. Expression of the SEL1L-HRD1 complex, the most conserved branch of ERAD, is directly regulated by the transcriptional activity of the Notch intracellular domain. Deletion of Sel1l impaired DN3 to DN4 thymocyte transition and severely impaired mouse αβ T cell development. Mechanistically, Sel1l deficiency induced unresolved ER stress that triggered thymocyte apoptosis through the PERK pathway. Accordingly, genetically inactivating PERK rescued T cell development from Sel1l-deficient thymocytes. In contrast, IRE1α/XBP1 pathway was induced as a compensatory adaptation to alleviate Sel1l-deficiency-induced ER stress. Dual loss of Sel1l and Xbp1 markedly exacerbated the thymic defect. Our study reveals a critical developmental signal controlled proteostasis mechanism that enforces T cell development to ensure a healthy adaptive immunity.

description: As part of an educational exercise designed to introduce school students to the technique of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and enhance their understanding of primary and secondary bonding, a group of nine secondary school students was given the opportunity to prepare new compounds and to solve and refine data collected on the crystalline materials they had prepared. Their investigation of the alkali metal salts of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (H2hba) yielded nine new compounds and their structures are described in this article. Whilst the salts might be expected to have similar atomic arrangements, there are significant differences in their structures. Although H2hba is a relatively simple organic molecule, it displays remarkable coordinative flexibility, forming ionic solids containing the uncharged molecule, the monoanion Hhba- or the dianion hba2-. A common feature of the structures is their layered arrangement: alternating hydrophilic layers made up of closely packed metal-oxygen polyhedra separated by the hydrophobic component of the hydroxybenzoate linking units. Close packing of these units seems to be a dominant influence in determining the overall structure. The hydroxybenzoate units are usually both parallel and antiparallel with their immediate neighbours, with packing that can be edge-to-face, face-to-face or a mixture of the two. Hydrogen bonding plays a key role in the structure of most compounds and a short strong hydrogen bond (SSHB) is observed in two of the networks. The compounds of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, C7H6O3, described here are: poly[di-μ-aqua-μ-4-oxidobenzoato-dilithium], [Li2(C7H4O3)(H2O)2] n, 1, poly[triaqua-μ-4-oxidobenzoato-dilithium], [Li2(C7H4O3)(H2O)3] n, 2, poly[μ-4-hydroxybenzoato-lithium], [Li(C7H5O3)] n, 3, catena-poly[4-hydroxybenzoate [[diaquasodium]-di-μ-aqua]], {[Na(H2O)4](C7H5O3)} n, 4, poly[di-μ-aqua-aqua-μ-4-hydroxybenzoato-potassium], [K(C7H5O3)(H2O)3] n, 5, poly[μ-aqua-μ-4-hydroxybenzoato-potassium], [K(C7H5O3)(H2O)] n, 6, poly[aqua-μ-4-hydroxybenzoato-rubidium], [Rb(C7H5O3)(H2O)] n, 7, poly[aqua-μ-4-hydroxybenzoato-caesium], [Cs(C7H5O3)(H2O)] n, 8, poly[[μ-aqua-aqua(μ-4-hydroxybenzoato)(4-hydroxybenzoic acid)sodium] monohydrate], {[Na(C7H5O3)(C7H6O3)(H2O)2]·H2O} n, 9, poly[[(μ-4-hydroxybenzoato)(μ-4-hydroxybenzoic acid)rubidium] monohydrate], {[K(C7H5O3)(C7H6O3)]·H2O} n, 10, and poly[[(μ-4-hydroxybenzoato)(μ-4-hydroxybenzoic acid)rubidium] monohydrate], {[Rb(C7H5O3)(C7H6O3)]·H2O} n, 11.

description: Functional carbon-based nanomaterials (FCNs) are novel carbon-based nanomaterials with functional groups attached to the sp2 hybridized carbon backbone and carbon-based small-molecule compounds. Addition of FCNs to growth medium has demonstrated growth promoting effects on the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana including accelerated vegetative growth, increased leaf chlorophyll contents, and enhanced root activity. The time-course RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data hereby deposited at CNGB provide snap shots of the transcriptomic dynamics in A. thaliana leaf tissues in response to FCN treatment, representing the first step towards dissecting the physiological mechanism underlying the FCN-induced growth promotion effect on Arabidopsis and other plant species. Specifically, the compressed fastq files contain raw pair-end RNA-seq reads generated on the Illumina NovaSeq platform from Arabidopsis leaf tissue cultivated on Murashige-Skoog media with or without FCN addition for 2 or 6 hours. Untargeted analyses of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) reveal that FCN induces widespread changes in the transcriptomic landscape, with disproportional promoting effects on photosynthesis- and cellular transport-related genes while suppressing genes involved in DNA repair and translation process. Targeted analyses of genes involved in specific phytohormonal signaling pathways suggest that FCN may accelerate vegetative growth by promote cell expansion regulated by the auxin/gibberellic acid/brassinosteroid transcriptional regulatory module.

description: Introduction: Considering the specificity of the sporting context and the influence of sleep on athletic performance, the “athlete sleep behavior questionnare” (ASBQ) was developed to evaluate sleep behavior in English-speaking athletes. Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the ASBQ in Brazilian athletes. Methods: The cross-cultural adaptation was processed by procedures of translation and back-translation. Content validity was performed by 9 experts, calculating the coefficient of content validity for the equivalence of the individual items (Cvci) and the total global score (Cvct), in addition we conducted a pilot study using the translated version of the questionnaire. The next phase of the study included 52 athletes completing the translated ASBQ. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM) and by Cronbach’s alpha (α). Results: The ASBQ passed the process of cross-cultural adaptation, obtaining the Brazilian Version of the ASBQ (ASBQ-BR), and with acceptable values of Cvci (0.89-1.00) and Cvct (0.96). Additionally, the ASBQ-BR showed acceptable values of reliability (ICC=0.857; Cronbach’s α=0.78) and a SEM of 3.05 AU. Conclusion: The ASBQ was translated to a newly developed ASBQ-BR, resulting in acceptable values for content validity and reliability. The ASBQ-BR provides a valuable tool for monitoring sleep behaviors in Brazilian athletes.

description: Context: Cow survival measures the ability of cows to survive from the current to subsequent lactation. In addition to economic gain, genetic selection for survival could improve animal welfare by increasing the adaptability and resilience of the cows to both environmental and health challenges. However, survival is a complex trait because it results from a diverse range of reasons for culling of cows from the herd. Consequently, the accuracy of genetic predictions of direct survival are often low. Aims: Our aim was to increase the accuracy of predictions of survival in Holstein and Jersey sires by including important predictor traits in multi-trait evaluation models. Methods: Phenotypic and genetic correlations between survival trait deviations (TDs) and 35 routinely measured traits (including milk yield, fertility and type traits) were estimated using bivariate sire models. Survival TDs for 538 394 Holstein and 63 839 Jersey cows were used in our study; these cows or their close relatives also had milk, fertility and type traits records between 2002 and 2019. These genetic parameters were required to assess the potential usefulness of predictor traits for the prediction of survival. Key results: Survival was genetically correlated with milk, fat and protein yields, overall type, composite mammary system and fertility TDs in both Holstein and Jersey. Further, most of the type traits related to feet and legs, and rump, were also correlated with survival TDs in Jersey. For sires, the accuracy of predictions for survival increased by 0.05 for Holsteins (from 0.54 to 0.59) and for Jerseys (from 0.48 to 0.53) through the use of multivariate models compared with univariate models. Conclusions: Survival was genetically associated with traits affecting voluntary and involuntary culling and when included in multi-trait genetic evaluation models, they moderately improved the accuracy of genetic prediction of survival. Implications: Predictor traits can be used to increase the accuracy of predictions of survival through the use of multi-trait models. The inclusion of breed-specific predictor traits should be considered, especially for Jerseys in genetic evaluations of survival.

description: For riverine fishes threatened by fragmentation and flow modification, effective management requires an understanding of when and where key life history processes (spawning, recruitment and movement) take place. The structural and chemical properties of otoliths provide a unique means to recount a fish's life in time and space. We investigated the age structure of the migratory, pelagic-spawning golden perch (Macquaria ambigua) in the Murray River, Australia, and used water and otolith 87Sr/86Sr ratios to delineate the natal origin and movement of fish from discrete cohorts. Water 87Sr/86Sr was distinct among the Darling River (a major tributary) and lower and mid-Murray River. Otolith chemistry revealed golden perch collected in the lower Murray River were progeny of spawning in either the Murray or Darling rivers, during years characterised by within-channel rises in flow, or in both rivers in a year of overbank flooding. Movement of juvenile fish from the Darling River substantially influenced population structure in the lower Murray River, whereby post-flood population growth was largely due to the immigration of age-1+ fish. This study demonstrates the potential importance of tributary recruitment sources, dispersal and connectivity on main-stem population dynamics and the utility of otolith chemistry for spatially reconciling population structure and the life histories of freshwater fishes.

description: During the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world witnessed major economic, school and daycare closures. We sampled respondents in Australia and the U.S. during the height of the first restrictions to understand how the first quarantine structured their emotional strain and financial worry (825 Australians and 835 Americans aged between 18–65; May 2–3, 2020; source YouGov). We apply structural equation modeling to demonstrate that the emotional well-being impacts of COVID-19 are not only gendered but also vary between childless people and parents. Specifically, we show that compared to Australians, Americans were more impacted by changes in their financial circumstances. Further, while the financial worry and emotional strain impacts were similar between childless people and parents in Australia, significant differences existed between the two groups in the United States. In particular, we identify American mothers as the most disadvantaged group–feeling the most anxious and financially worried about both employment and domestic changes under COVID-19. Policy wise, we argue that COVID-19 is exacerbating gender inequality in emotional health. To slow down this trend, more adequate mental health supports are needed, particularly for mothers.

description: Abstract: Soil salinity has a serious impact on plant growth and agricultural yield. Inoculation of crop plants with fungal endophytes is a cost-effective way to improve salt tolerance. We used metabolomics to study how Trichoderma harzianum T-22 alleviates NaCl-induced stress in a sensitive barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivar (Gairdner) and compared this to the response in a more tolerant cultivar (Vlamingh)GC-MS was used to analyse polar metabolites and LC-MS to analyse lipids in roots during the early stages of interaction with Trichoderma. Inoculation reversed the severe effects of salt on root length in cv. Gairdner and, to a lesser extent, improved root growth in cv. Vlamingh. Biochemical changes showed a similar pattern in inoculated roots after salt treatment. Sugars increase in both cultivars with ribulose, ribose and rhamnose specifically increased by inoculation. Salt stress caused large changes in lipids in roots but inoculation with fungus greatly reduced the extent of these changes. Many of the metabolic changes in inoculated cv. Gairdner after salt treatment mirror the response of uninoculated cv. Vlamingh but there are some metabolites that changed in both cultivars only after fungal inoculation. Further study is required to determine how these metabolic changes are induced by fungal inoculation.

description: Experimental research examining Later Acheulian handaxes often equates their production with expert knapping skill. Yet knapping mishaps, including step and hinge fractures, mismanaging cross-sectional proportions and transverse breaks are common throughout manufacturing stages and may represent an important source of morphological variability. Recent investigations of handaxes from the ~400 ka Area 1 locality at Amanzi Springs have suggested that the large and asymmetric proportions of these tools may relate the abundance of step and hinge fractures and excessive thick edges that impeded reduction. This study uses both geometric and traditional morphometric techniques to explore the effects of knapping mishaps on the reduction and morphology of Amanzi Springs handaxes. Results suggest that interpretations of Acheulian technological skill can benefit from examining the occurrence of production errors, which may account for some of the morphological differences in handaxes observed on both diachronic and geographic scales.

description: The literature of higher education widely notes the importance of reflection and reflective practice as a critical aspect of professional practice. This enables learners to act and think professionally by combining theory and practice. As such, many teaching and learning strategies and activities to enhance reflection have been incorporated into professional degrees. Notwithstanding the support for reflective practice, critical reflection remains a contested concept with a lack of consensus as to its definition and best practice. The frameworks chosen by higher institutions may be influenced by course context, ideology and expectations around the course/unit learning outcomes. This paper commences with a discussion of reflection and critical reflection. By examining different notions of reflection, the paper will discuss why the concept of critical reflection is important for practitioners in the 21st Century. It is advanced that critical reflection can encourage learners to better understand professional practice by linking discipline knowledge and theories to professional practice and wider insights. Whilst reflective practice is a desirable capability for law graduates, legal education in Australia largely fails to incorporate and assess critical reflective skills, as it is directed at producing a technically skilled and ideologically compliant legal workforce. The authors advance that adherence to a solely doctrinal approach to legal education is no longer justified in the 21st Century, which is characterised by profound change and uncertainty that impacts on the legal profession and society at large. Law schools have a positive role to play in the education of their students through instilling doctrinal knowledge, professional practice skills and critical thinking skills, which foster an understanding and analysis from multiple perspectives, to ensure that law graduates are able to holistically understand the reasons for changes within their profession and effectively adapt to change through informed choices. The final part of the paper outlines how critical reflection can be implemented in legal education.

The Euro as a Dysfunctional Marriage

description: - This article examines the functioning of the euro area with emphasis on the desirability of its further enlargement.- This is based on theoretic research regarding optimal currency areas, empirical studies on the euro area in the past 20+ years, as well as historical experiences of two monetary unions in Europe in the late nineteenth andearly twentieth centuries.-The discussion highlights a number of problems in the euro area’s design and documents the damage caused especially in the periphery (southern) countries.-Consequently, the analysis implies that it would be too risky for the seven countries on the accession list (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary,Poland, Romania and Sweden) to adopt the euro at this point. It is also argued that in most of these countries voters do not seem to be sufficiently informed to adequately assess all the pros and cons of euro accession.-The article concludes by outlining structural reforms that could in principle alleviate the euro area’s key problems, and potentially make its enlargement desirable in the future

description: Since 1994, dengue fever (DF) transmission rates have increased significantly in Saudi Arabia (KSA). Climatic, geographic, and demographic conditions make KSA especially suitable for DF’s spread. Still, there are insufficient strategies for controlling the Aedes species that transmit DF virus (DENV). To develop effective management strategies, it is necessary to identify Aedes species and the ecological habitat of larvae in Makkah Al-Mokarramah, KSA. We conducted a longitudinal survey of Aedes mosquitoes in 14 localities from January 2015 to December 2015. World Health Organization (WHO) inspection kits for larvae were used to detect and sample larvae, along with pictorial keys. A total of 42,981 potential Aedes larval breeding sites were surveyed. A total of 5403 (12.6%) sites had at least one water source positive for Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) mosquitoes. Among the total of 15,133 water sources surveyed within the sampled sites, 1815 (12.0%) were positive for Aedes aegypti. Aedes aegypti was the only Aedes species identified in the course of the survey. The presence of such a large immature population may indicate an imminent outbreak of DF in the near future unless proper implementation of control and elimination of Aedes aegypti are undertaken. Additionally, the adaptation of Aedes aegypti to the arid climate of Makkah needs further investigation.

description: Abstract

The primary objective of this paper is to throw light on one of the most importance concept during the wealth creation journey i.e. TIME VALUE OF MONEY (TMV) and to focus on the basic calculations which form the backbone for the different personal financial calculators showcased on the web as well mobile apps. The calculation to The concept of time value of money can be summarised in one line – The value of money today is less than it was yesterday, or in other words money available in hand now has more worth than the same money available in future. During the course of wealth creation, one must understand that for the number crunching to arrive at the future value of investment, present value of investment, amount to be invested at regular time periods or amount to be received at regular time periods in future, the bottom line is time value of money and its related concepts. There are multiple personal financing calculators which are mostly used as a market tooling by many financial advisors, wealth managers and asset management companies. However one should stay updated with the logical calculations behind these calculators. The paper would also highlight the logical calculations behind the multiple personal financial calculators which are available on the internet and quite widely used by the investor base. The base working of most of calculators has been elaborated using the applicable formulae in MS Excel in this paper. The paper also focus on the syntax of the formulas as well as the necessary examples so as to understand it from a practical perspective.
