title: Effect of urea and K<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> on enzyme activity and biochemical changes of date fruit (<i>Phoenix dactilyfera</i> cv. ‘Zahedi’) during ripening

description: This study evaluated the effects of urea and potassium sulfate (K<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>) at three concentrations (0, 0.5, and 1%) on the chemical and organoleptic properties of date fruit (<i>Phoenix dactylifera</i> L. cv. ‘Zahedi’) during ripening. A factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replicates was conducted in 2018 and 2019. Urea at 1% significantly increased antioxidant capacity by 45% in 2018 and 12% in 2019, whereas K<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> at 1% reduced it by 9 and 7% in the respective years. Both antioxidant capacity and phenolic content decreased from the Kimri to Tamar stages. Urea and K<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> treatments enhanced reducing and non-reducing sugar contents, with 1% K<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> increasing reducing sugars by 8 and 1% urea increasing non-reducing sugars by 44% in 2018. Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POX) activities increased by 57 and 44% in 2018, and 48 and 42% in 2019, respectively, with 1% urea treatment. K<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> at 1% also enhanced POX activity over both years. Sensory attributes showed reduced astringency and crunchiness, with improved sweetness during ripening. These findings suggest that urea and K<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> applications significantly influence the biochemical and sensory quality of date fruit. Urea 1% improved antioxidant capacity. Simultaneous spraying of urea and K<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> increased sugar significantly. Urea led to improved organoleptic characteristics such as increased sweetness and reduced astringency. The promoted fruit yield in urea and K<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>, especially 1% was observed. Minerals, antioxidant capacity, and phenolic contents represented a reducing trend from Kimri to Tamar in date fruits. The activity of PME, PG, cellulase, and invertase exhibited a significant elevation during date fruit ripening, and conversely, POX and PPO activity decreased. By the obvious reduction of crunching and astringency as well as improvement of sweetness followed by ripening process, date fruit became edible.

title: First description of alterations of the AQP 2 and 3 expressions in the kidneys of pinealectomized rats

description: This study aims to investigate renal aquaporins (2 and 3) in the pinealectomy and exogenous melatonin administration. 50 rats were separated into 5 groups: Control, Sham Pinealectomy (Sham PiX), Melatonin (MLT), Pinealectomy (PiX), and PiX+MLT groups. PiX included groups operated on the first day of the experiment. The MLT groups received intraperitoneal MLT (10 mg/kg for 30 days) injections. At the end of 30 days, the kidneys of the rats were removed, and histometrical, immunohistochemical, biochemical, and qPCR analyses were performed. AQP 2 and 3 water channels had the highest expressions in the PiX group while experiencing the lowest levels in the MLT group for both immunohistochemical and qPCR results (P˂0.05). Malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine levels showed an increase in the renal tissue, while superoxide dismutase (SOD) and gluthation (GSH) levels decreased in the PiX group (P˂0.05). Glomerulus diameters of the PiX group showed substantial reduction compared to other groups while renal corpuscule diameters were found to be greater (P˂0.05). Pinealectomy results in elevated expressions of Aquaporin 2 and 3 in renal tissue, as evidenced by both immunohistochemistry analysis and qPCR data. The pinealectomy group has elevated levels of MDA, IL-1β, BUN, and creatinine, while exogenous melatonin treatment leads to a reduction in GSH and SOD levels in renal tissue.

title: Modeling the distribution of the rocket-frog, <i>Allobates olfersioides</i> (Anura, Aromobatidae), in the Brazilian northeastern Atlantic Forest: implications for the conservation of a vulnerable species

description: <i>Allobates olfersifoides</i> is a forest-dwelling dendrobatoid frog distributed in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. In northeastern Brazil, it inhabits rainforest fragments in altered landscapes, resulting in imprecise distribution maps. In this study, we model areas with the highest environmental suitability for <i>A. olfersioides</i> based on its ecological niche. We used 32 independent occurrence records and seven environmental variables to model suitable areas using the MaxEnt algorithm. We also evaluated the overlap between these areas and the species’ geographic range polygon proposed by IUCN and areas protected within conservation units. Precipitation in the driest month and the coldest quarter of the year were the most important variables related to <i>A. olfersioides</i>’ potential distribution. Areas with the highest potential for the distribution of the species encompassed nearly 54,547.5 km<sup>2</sup>, almost 7% smaller than the species range predicted by the IUCN. Approximately 42.2% of the IUCN polygon did not overlap with areas with the highest climatic suitability for <i>A. olfersioides,</i> and about 86% of the areas modeled as suitable for the species did not overlap with conservation units. Our results suggest that the areas potentially occupied by <i>A. olfersioides</i> may be more limited than previously thought, and the species is threatened in most of its range.

title: From site-scale to landscape-scale: stormwater benefits of urban trees with SWMM-Canopy

description: Urban trees can reduce stormwater runoff through canopy interception and enhanced infiltration, yet their benefits are often underrepresented in conventional models. This study introduces Storm Water Management Model-Canopy (SWMM-Canopy), a process-based tool that simulates diverse tree types and tree well designs to quantify stormwater runoff reduction. Sensitivity analyses highlight its flexibility across various conditions. To address key research gaps, limited tree hydrology representation and lack of integrated planning tools, we applied SWMM-Canopy with the GreenPlan-IT toolkit in a case study in California. The analysis quantified stormwater benefits from trees, scaled results from site to landscape, and compared the cost-effectiveness of trees and green stormwater infrastructure (GSI). SWMM-Canopy offers a practical approach for integrating urban trees into stormwater management, supporting multi-benefit planning and climate resilience. This work helps inform urban greening strategies and policy decisions by providing a flexible tool to evaluate the hydrologic and economic performance of trees alongside GSI.

title: The effect of grammatical aspect on mental representations of events: ERP evidence from English and Russian

description: Grammatical aspect encodes the stage of an event: in progress (imperfective) or completed (perfective). However, little is known about the effect of aspect on mental representations of event stage. To fill this gap, we conducted an ERP study in two languages with distinct aspectual systems: dual-aspectual Russian and partially-aspectual English. Native speakers of Russian (<i>n</i> = 20) and English (<i>n</i> = 20) looked at pictures of in-progress and completed events and read their perfective or imperfective descriptions. In Russian, late positivity elicited by perfective after in-progress pictures indicated a bottom-up process triggered by the violation of a highly specific expectation based on the event stage in the picture. In English, perfective after in-progress pictures elicited a sustained negativity. This effect suggested a top-down effort to update the initial mental model to reconcile it with the non-matching aspectual information.

title: The “Truth” About NGOs: How the Brazilian Media Frames the Attempt to Criminalize Socio-environmental Organizations

description: Environmental NGOs in Brazil have become a target of disinformation campaigns, despite their long-standing role in advocating for sustainable policies. This paper investigates how Brazil’s digital media framed the 2023 Parliamentary Inquiry Commission into NGOs operating in the Amazon, revealing the media’s role in advancing legal harassment and disinformation. Using a mixed-methods approach that combines computational text analysis and critical discourse analysis, we examine 1,925 articles published by 230 outlets before, during and after the commission. Findings show that <i>Junk News</i> (low-credibility outlets) and <i>Minor Brands</i> (small and regional outlets) echoed one another by churning out anti-NGO conspiracies, accusing these organizations of corruption and foreign allegiance. In contrast, <i>Major Brands</i> (national mainstream outlets) offered limited coverage, avoiding any scrutiny of the commission’s motives. Our main contribution is a systematic and critical approach that reveals how media narratives wrongfully portray and criminalize NGOs as threats to national sovereignty.

title: Deep listening the ancient <i>fora</i> of Pompeii, Rome, and Ostia

description: This paper introduces and develops a listening method based on Deep Listening, a practice and a pedagogy of listening invented by American composer Pauline Oliveros. The method is applied in sensory archeology, in which approaches that use researchers’ bodily experiences to convey information about past sensations have become more sought-after. The fieldwork is conducted in three ancient <i>fora</i> (central squares) in Pompeii, Rome, and Ostia. These sites were the focal points of ancient civic life and today are important cultural heritage sites and popular tourist attractions. Our listening ethnography shows why aural inspection is necessary for a holistic understanding of ancient built environments and the materiality of acoustics. The application of Deep Listening in archeology alone shows why it is important to develop methods for listening ethnography and to promote better understanding of listening as a tool of observation.

title: Saturated by Commerce: A Computational Analysis of Eighteenth-Century British Political Discourse

description: John Pocock, Istvan Hont, and scholars of the Scottish Enlightenment have profoundly shaped how historians understand eighteenth-century debates about commerce and ‘commercial society’. Their influential interpretations – ranging from republican anxieties about corruption to the political-economic dynamics of trade and state power – continue to frame the field. This paper takes these positions as analytical starting points and examines them computationally. Using the largest existing corpus of eighteenth-century printed publications, we extract and model large-scale linguistic patterns to test three hypotheses about the discursive relationship of commerce to other topics of political thought. Against the backdrop of overall ‘commercialisation’ of political thought taking place, the evidence aligns most strongly with Hont’s account of ‘jealousy of trade’, in which commerce is entwined with foreign rivalry and power-political concerns. Pocockian republican scepticism receives more limited support, and the broader Scottish Enlightenment narrative is only weakly reflected at scale. By situating early modern authors within these wider discursive structures, the paper demonstrates how computational methods can clarify, modify, and challenge established historiographical interpretations.

title: Echinoderm limestone boulders from the Åland Islands, Finland (mid Sandbian, Ordovician) – earliest evidence of Baltscandian shallow water patch reefs

description: On the Åland Islands, Finland, rare erratic boulders with a pelmatozoan pack-, grainstone lithology occur. These boulders contain predominantly crinoid columnal fragments with columnal diameters of up to 12 mm. Based on petrographic characteristics, the boulders can be interpreted as representing clinoform flank deposits, probably of small patch reefs. The stratigraphic age of one of the boulders can be precisely constrained as belonging to the mid-Sandbian <i>Baltoniodus viirae</i> conodont zone, Dalbyan Regional Stage, Ordovician. It corresponds in age to the pelmatozoan-rich Dalby Limestone of Sweden. The occurrence of erratic boulders of pelmatozoan limestone on the Åland Islands suggests a mid-Sandbian existence of pelmatozoan-rich patch reefs on the proximal, now eroded part of the carbonate platform. This is significantly older than the previously known oldest echinoderm-rich reefs of Baltoscandia.
