Exploring Synergistic Effects of Levan and Levan‐MetabolizingBacillaceae in Promoting Growth and Enhancing Immunity of Tomato and Wheat

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Boosting plant immunity by priming agents can lower agrochemical dependency in plant production. Levan and levan‐derived oligosaccharides (LOS) act as priming agents against biotic stress in several crops. Additionally, beneficial microbes can promote plant growth and protect against fungal diseases. This study assessed possible synergistic effects caused by levan, LOS and five levan‐ and LOS‐metabolizing Bacillaceae ( Bacillus and Priestia ) strains in tomato and wheat. Leaf and seed defense priming assays were conducted in non‐soil (semi‐sterile substrate) and soil‐based systems, focusing on tomato‐ Botrytis cinerea and wheat‐ Magnaporthe oryzae Triticum (MoT) pathosystems. In the non‐soil system, seed defense priming with levan, the strains (especially Bacillus velezensis GA1), or their combination significantly promoted tomato growth and protection against B. cinerea . While no growth stimulatory effects were observed for wheat, disease protective effects were also observed in the wheat‐MoT pathosystem. When grown in soil and subjected to leaf defense priming, tomato plants co‐applied with levan and the bacterial strains showed increased resistance to B. cinerea compared with plants treated with levan or single strains, and these effects were synergistic in some cases. For seed defense priming in soil, more synergistic effects on disease tolerance were observed in a non‐fertilized soil as compared to a fertilized soil, suggesting that potential prebiotic effects of levan are more prominent in poor soils. The potential of using combinations of Bacilliaceae and levan in sustainable agriculture is discussed.
Linguosemiotic Mechanisms of Manipulative Potential Formation in Polycoded Nomination in Advertising Discourse

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The article is dedicated to the linguo-semiotic analysis of the functioning of polycode names as a manipulative tool in advertising discourse. The aim of the study is to describe the influence of non-verbal components on the expression of the illocutionary force of the name. The material of the study consists of polycode commercial designations identified through the author’s own internet monitoring and direct observation from 2021 to 2023. An examination of the situational context has been conducted, dominant signs in the structure of nomination have been identified, and the expressed meaning has been established. Word-formation models for creating names have been identified, classified according to the means of expressing illocutionary force. The use of similar models by commercial organizations from different fields of activity allows us to speak about the main trends in naming in advertising discourse. The author puts forward a projective hypothesis of manipulative influence: a stimulus-response situation is applied in advertising communication, and manipulation is realized through the tactic of imposition. It has been established that different situations are implicitly related in the message, for which loosely structured stimuli are used, which influence the formation of the addressee’s attitudes and program their behavior. It is concluded that in polycode commercial nominations, the technique of exploiting linguistic and non-linguistic behavioral stereotypes is used.

OF THESIS: EXPOSURE TO 17β-ESTRADIOL ALTERS REPRODUCTION OF THE ADULT RED SHINER (CYPRINELLA LUTRENSIS) Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are prevalent in aquatic ecosystems worldwide and can lead to developmental and reproductive problems in fishes. Concern exists regarding how exposure to EDCs may be contributing to declines in Great Plains fishes in eastern Colorado. We conducted a study using the red shiner as a model organism to examine how estrogenic EDCs might adversely affect Plains fish populations. Male red shiners were exposed to 17β-estradiol (estradiol), a natural estrogen found in wastewater effluent. Our objectives were to characterize the effects of estradiol exposure on morphometric and behavioral reproductive traits of males, to investigate changes in female mate choice, and to determine whether estradiol exposure reduces fecundity. We also measured reversibility in these reproductive responses when exposures were discontinued. For this purpose, adult males were exposed to nominal concentrations of 120 ngL estradiol, 2.4 ngL estradiol, a solvent control, or a water control for at least one month. Exposures to the highest estradiol concentration resulted in alterations in plasma vitellogenin concentrations, changes in gonadal tissues, and inhibition of mating coloration and tubercles. Furthermore, mating behaviors were altered and reproductive success was reduced; exposed males fertilized fewer eggs and produced no viable progeny. All reproductive endpoints improved when males were removed from the estradiol treatment and allowed to mate in control water. Estradiol had significant adverse effects on adult male red shiners, indicating that wild populations may have low reproductive success if they are chronically exposed to estrogenic compounds in the field.

Toward A Holistic Psychology of Valuing

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Recent trends in moral development theory, especially those proposed by Kohlberg, point in the direction of a holistic approach. Intuitive modes are now more appreciated, as is the perspective religious experience gives. Because cognitive‐developmentalism seems stretched beyond its limits, Dabrowski's theory of cognitive disintegration is proposed as having the potential (a) to meet the need for a holistic theory, and (b) to penetrate the sources of value objectivity.
Cirrus Cloud Microphysical Property Retrieval Using Lidar and Radar Measurements. Part II: Midlatitude Cirrus Microphysical and Radiative Properties

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The lidar–radar algorithm described in Part I of this set of papers is applied to ∼1000 h of Raman lidar and millimeter wave cloud radar (MMCR) data collected at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement program Southern Great Plains Clouds and Radiation Testbed site in Oklahoma during the period from November 1996 to November 2000. The resulting statistics of cirrus microphysical and radiative properties show that most cirrus clouds are optically thin (mean optical depth of 0.58 with a standard deviation of 0.67) with low ice water path (mean 12.19 g m−2 with a standard deviation of 19.0). The seasonal changes of cirrus properties are relatively small except for the general effective radius (Dge). Strong temperature dependencies of ice water content, Dge, and extinction coefficients are found in the dataset, which are well described by second-order polynomial functions. The temperature and thickness dependencies of the cirrus properties are studied in detail, providing information useful in the validation and improvement of cirrus parameterizations in general circulation models. The limitations of the MMCR for cirrus detection are also considered through comparisons with results from the Raman lidar, which show that the MMCR fails to detect most thin cirrus with τ ≤ 0.1 and consistently underestimates physical cloud thickness. Comparisons with available data describing cirrus microphysical and radiative properties are made, and an improved cirrus particle extinction coefficient parameterization based on the combined lidar–radar approach is offered.
Lactic Acid Fermentation of Lupinseed Milk

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Seven different strains of lactic bacteria and 13 combinations of these microorganisms were tested for their acid forming capacity on a vegetable milk made from lupinseed protein concentrate(LPC). L acidophilus, L casei, S. lactis, L. mesenteroides, mixed culture of L. acidophilus and S. thermophilus, and mixed culture of S. lactis and L. mesenteroides were selected and further tested for their growth pattern and acid forming property on lupinseed milk both untreated and partly hydrolized one with carbohydrate decomposing enzymes. The enzyme hydrolized lupinseed milk had 1.5 folds of total free sugar, 8.2 folds of fructose, 3 folds glucose, 2.3 folds maltose, compared to the untreated lupinseed milk. For the untreated lupinseed milk, L. mesenteroides was appeared to be most suitable microorganism having the maximum cell concentration of 1.0 10 and the final pH 4.40 with the acidity 0.46％. For the enzyme treated lupinseed milk, mixed culture of L. acidophilus and S. thermophilus showed the best performance having 1.910 maximum cell number and the final pH and acidity were 3.69 and 1.13％, respectively. Lactic acid fermentation altered the physical property of lupinseed milk; by fermentation the viscosity generally increased with untreated lupinseed milk, but decreased with enzyme hydrolized one. The viscosity change and sedimentation rate of fermented milk varied with the type of lactic bacteria. The results of sensory evaluation indicated that S. lactis, L. casei, mixed culture of S. lactis and L. mesenteroides, and mixed culture of L. acidophilus and S. thermophilus, grown on enzyme hydrolized lupinseed milk, could produce acceptable lactic beverage.
Adaptive real-time data management for cyber-physical systems

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Real-time data from sensors are the first-class citizens in cyber-physical systems (CPS) since they interconnect cyber elements and physical elements of CPS. A real-time data service, which maintains the freshness of data while satisfying other key performance goals such as timeliness of transactions and small resource consumption, is an essential architectural component in many CPS applications. In this dissertation, architecture and algorithms to accomplish such real-time data services are presented in a stepwise fashion.
First, a mechanism to make systematic trade-offs between transaction timeliness and data freshness for data-intensive CPS applications is discussed. The proposed solution does not require that the entire data reside in main-memory; hence, it has much broader application for CPS than previous real-time database approaches. To satisfy multi-dimensional performance goals, such as transaction timeliness and energy consumption, a power-aware buffer cache management algorithm, which exploits a Multiple Inputs/Multiple Outputs control structure, is developed and the characteristics of flash storage devices are considered. For efficient fusion of distributed sensor data, we present PRIDE (Predictive Replication In Distributed Embedded systems) that provides a global view on underlying physical processes to all participating embedded devices. The model-driven approach of PRIDE not only reduces the communication cost of potentially massive amounts of sensor data, but also provides an accurate estimation of the true states of physical processes. Finally, DRACON (Decentralized Replication And CONtrol)'s replica-sharing and decentralized feedback control mechanisms provide a scalable and timely real-time data access mechanism when a large number of small-scale CPS are inter-connected in Internet-like wide area networks.
The proposed work is evaluated using several methods: analysis, simulation, and full embedded implementation. Results from experiments show that the proposed adaptive solutions provide robust and controlled behavior in terms of guaranteeing the desired performance under highly unpredictable cyber/physical environments.
Diuretic regimens in essential hypertension

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

To the Editor. —The article, Diuretic Regimens in Essential Hypertension, by Licht et al 1 in the September Archives was quite interesting but was poorly conceived and contained erroneous conclusions. The ultimate conclusion of the authors was that Furosemide appears to be the most cost-effective alternative in patients with hypertension in whom intolerable side effects or hypokalemia develops while taking hydrochlorothiazide. While I applaud the authors for addressing a very common and widespread problem such as hypertension and giving a sound clinical and fiscal answer to this problem, I hardly think that their approach was correct. As best as I could tell from reading their article, there was no comment regarding baseline BP measurements in any of the innumerable groups that they examined. They have shown, for example, that when one compares 50 mg/day of hydrochlorothiazide with 40 mg/day of furosemide (Lasix), the BP is absolutely equal in both groups,
An Input Observer-Based Stiffness Estimation Approach for Flexible Robot Joints

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This letter addresses the stiffness estimation problem for flexible robot joints, driven by variable stiffness actuators in antagonistic setups. Due to the difficulties of achieving consistent production of these actuators and the time-varying nature of their internal flexible elements, which are subject to plastic deformation over time, it is currently a challenge to precisely determine the total flexibility torque applied to a robot's joint and the corresponding joint stiffness. Herein, by considering the flexibility torque acting on each motor as an unknown signal and building upon Unknown Input Observer theory, a solution for electrically-driven actuators is proposed, which consists of a linear estimator requiring only knowledge about the positions of the joints and the motors as well as the drive's dynamic parameters. Beyond its linearity advantage, another appealing feature of the solution is the lack of need for torque and velocity sensors. The presented approach is first verified via simulations and then successfully tested on an experimental setup, comprising bidirectional antagonistic variable stiffness actuators.
Molecular Cloning and Functional Analysis of IFRG in Rabbit Oocytes and Preimplantation Embryos

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Interferons (IFNs) play important physiological roles in early embryo development, but its mechanism is still unclear. The full length cDNA of interferon responsive gene (IFRG) was cloned in rabbit ovary (Accession No. AJ584672). The expression profile of IFRG in oocytes and preimplantation embryos was detected using RT-PCR. IFRG was expressed in oocytes and preimplantation embryos in rabbit, which provided some clues for better understanding the role of IFNs during embryo development. In situ hybridization showed that IFRG was highly expressed in granulosa, thecal and cumulus cells, which were consanguineous interrelation to follicles development. So it was proved that IFRG expression was involved in the follicles development, maturation and ovulation in rabbit.
The Impact of Different Extraction Techniques on Antioxidant Activity of Faba Bean (<em>Vicia faba</em> L.)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The effects of three extraction techniques (shaking, soaking and stirring) and two solvents (80% methanol and 80% ethanol) on the antioxidant attributes of extracts from seeds of faba bean have been investigated. The yield of faba bean extracts varied between 5.45 and 7.69 g/100 g of dry matter. Faba bean extracts contained a considerable amount of phenolics (1.35-1.65 g GAE/100 g) and flavonoids (2.01-2.31 g CE/100 g). An appreciable level of reducing power (1.24-2.14) at 10 mg/mL extract concentration, inhibition of linoleic acidperoxidation (84.6-90.2%) and DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC50 value 17.4-45.1 &mug/mL) were also documented. Overall, the efficacy of an extraction system in isolating potent antioxidant components from faba bean seeds followed the order: shaking, 80% methanol>shaking, 80% ethanol>stirring, 80% methanol>stirring, 80% ethanol>soaking, 80% ethanol>soaking, 80% methanol. The yield and antioxidant activity of the faba bean extracts varied significantly (p<0.05) as function of extraction techniques and solvents employed.
Nuclear DNA content and prognosis in Hürthle cell tumours of the thyroid gland.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The prognostic value of nuclear DNA content in Hürthle cell tumours of the thyroid was studied in 23 patients with more than 10 years follow up. Eleven of these neoplasms were classified as Hürthle cell carcinoma and 12 as adenoma. DNA measurements in morphologically identified single tumour cells were performed either on fine needle aspiration biopsy material or on histological sections from the primary tumours. The nuclear DNA content identifies those patients with a good versus a bad prognosis. These results correlate well with the findings in earlier studies about papillary, follicular and medullary thyroid tumours.

The Influence of Knowledge Level and Family Support on Medication Adherence in Tuberculosis Patients

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Introduction; Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health issue both in Indonesia and globally, caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Knowledge and the role of the family are crucial factors influencing an individual's adherence to medication. Understanding these factors is essential for designing effective interventions to improve treatment compliance among TB patients. Objectives; The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and the role of the family with medication adherence in TB patients within the working area of the Ciruas Health Center, Serang Regency, in 2024. Methods; This study employed a quantitative correlational design using a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 210 TB patients undergoing treatment at the Ciruas Community Health Center in 2023. Purposive sampling was used to select participants. Data collection utilized validated questionnaires on knowledge, family roles, and medication adherence. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of <0.05. Results; The Chi-Square test revealed a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and medication adherence among TB patients (p=0.000). Additionally, a significant relationship was found between the role of the family and medication adherence (p=0.000). The analysis categorized the patients' level of knowledge as moderate, family roles as poor, and medication adherence as moderate. Conclusions; The study highlights that both knowledge and family support play a vital role in influencing medication adherence among TB patients. These findings emphasize the need for educational interventions and family-centered strategies to enhance compliance with TB treatment regimens. Implementing these measures could contribute to better treatment outcomes and a reduction in TB incidence
Applying the comprehensive LED approach : the case of Croatia

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Five years after the return to peace, Croatia is now faced with a number of critical challenges: creating new employment opportunities in local communities, towns and cities for school leavers, young adults, returned refugees and displaced persons; achieving the framework conditions for eventual integration into the European Union and, finally, the challenge of competing and establishing a niche for Croatian products in the global market place. Given the country's recent history, the International Labour Organization (ILO) recognizes that Croatia's long-term success in meeting these challenges will ultimately depend on nurturing models of enterprise and economic decision-making that are conducive to socially sustainable development. In line with the European Union's stated goals of economic and social cohesion, existing resources and assets must be managed by, and made to work in favour of, local stakeholders in ways that not only generate wealth, but also preserve a good living environment and foster harmony within local communities. The promotion of a Local Economic Development (LED) Process in Croatia has been a positive step in this direction. This study highlights some of the successes encountered in the implementation of LED initiatives against the backdrop of Croatia's national development goals and targets. It is hoped that the issues presented will provide inspiration to any governments thinking about, or having already established, similar structures in their own countries.
Continuous Linear Finite Element Method for Biharmonic Problems on Surfaces

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents an innovative continuous linear finite element approach to effectively solve biharmonic problems on surfaces. The key idea behind this method lies in the strategic utilization of a surface gradient recovery operator to compute the second-order surface derivative of a piecewise continuous linear function defined on the approximate surface, as conventional notions of second-order derivatives are not directly applicable in this context. By incorporating appropriate stabilizations, we rigorously establish the stability of the proposed formulation. Despite the presence of geometric error, we provide optimal error estimates in both the energy norm and $L^2$ norm. Theoretical results are supported by numerical experiments.
