Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract. Rakarcha S, Saensouk S, Maknoi C, Wongnak M, Thammarong W, Saensouk P. 2022. Curcuma lampangensis and C. sabhasrii, two new species of the family Zingiberaceae from northern Thailand. Biodiversitas 23: 4448-4459. Curcuma lampangensis Saensouk, Maknoi & Rakarcha and C. sabhasrii Saensouk, Maknoi, Wongnak & Rakarcha, two new species of ginger family (Zingiberaceae) from northern Thailand, are described, illustrated and photographed. Additionally, the authors provide their detailed morphological descriptions, as well as illustrations, color photographs, distributions, ecology, etymology, phenology, vernacular, conservation status and its closely related species. The two new species are assignable to the Curcuma subgenus Ecomatae. Curcuma lampangensis and C. sabhasrii are endemic to Lampang and Phitsanulok provinces of northern Thailand, respectively. The morphological characteristics of C. lampangensis are compared to C. rhomba J. Mood & K. Larsen while C. sabhasrii is compared to C. peramoena Souvann. & Maknoi. Curcuma lampangensis is recognized by its glabrous on nearly all parts of the plant, creeping rhizome and the inflorescence usually arises from a new rhizome branch next to the existing pseudostem, flowers that are white to pale pink and white to pale yellow labellum with 2 dark yellow bands at the center and reddish tinge at the base. Curcuma sabhasrii is recognized by having 8-15 greenish to reddish-purple bracts, reddish-purple corolla lobes, white with reddish-purple mottling to reddish-purple staminodes and labellum which is reddish-purple with an embossed yellow path along the midrib from base to apex and reddish-purple mottling on yellow mid-band of lower half. A key to 24 species of Curcuma subgenus Ecomatae in Thailand is presented.
Rethinking Liveness in the Digital Age

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This chapter reconsiders what liveness means in a musical culture saturated with digital technologies. Where once live performance was understood in simple opposition to recordings, the proliferation of electronic audio technologies throughout the second half of the twentieth century and their deployment in myriad performance settings has made the categorical separation of recording from performance impossible. Digital technologies have become even further intertwined with the creation of performative meaning than their analogue predecessors. After explaining the development of the liveness concept, the author emphasises the increasing variability of its configuration in the digital age, drawing on discourses around virtuality, posthuman subjectivity and intermediality. The chapter concludes with case studies in musical activity in Second Life and in the microtiming-based compositions of Richard Beaudoin, emphasising the extent to which liveness has become for some artists an actual element of aesthetic interrogation, rather than just a way of categorising a musical experience.
A Phillips Curve for the Euro Area

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper asks whether a textbook Phillips curve can explain the behavior of core inflation in the euro area.A critical feature of the analysis is that we measure core inflation with the weighted median of industry inflation rates, which is less volatile than the common measure of inflation excluding food and energy prices.We find that fluctuations in core inflation since the creation of the euro are well explained by three factors: expected inflation (as measured by surveys of forecasters); the output gap (as measured by the OECD); and the pass-through of movements in headline inflation.Our specification resolves the puzzle of a "missing disinflation" after the Great Recession, and it diminishes the puzzle of a "missing inflation" during the recent economic recovery.
A Novel Slice-Based High-Performance ALU Design Using Prospective Single Electron Transistor

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is one of the most essential components of any microprocessor or computing system that is capable of performing several arithmetic as well as logic operations. For realizing efficient and high-performance ALU, proper designing, optimum selection of materials and incorporation of advanced devices are utmost important. The single electron transistor (SET) is a prominent advanced device structure for achieving high-end computing system. In this paper, the prospective SET-based ALU is realized to meet next-generation requirements like higher speed, lower power, and volume. Also, the enhancement capability of ALU can be further accomplished by incorporating effective modular design using slice-based approach. The slice-based design approach provides simplicity and extensibility of the design. In this, each slice has the capability to perform arithmetic and logical operations on one-bit input data. Henceforth, cascading of n such slices generates the n-bit ALU. The multiplication operation is executed separately. The incorporation of separate multiplier block aids in achieving fast execution of multiplication operation with a single instruction. The performance of high-end proposed SET-based ALU is compared with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and 18 nm FinFET technology-based ALU designs. It is observed that the SET-based ALU gives 1.9× lesser delay and 19.8× lower power dissipation as compared to its 16 nm CMOS counterpart. Also, with respect to 18 nm FinFET-based technology, proposed SET-based design out-stands extensively in terms of lower transistor count and power.
Night tales: Jim Jarmusch’s nocturnal film poetics

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

“Jim is pretty much nocturnal, so the nightscape is pretty much his palette. There is something about things glowing in the darkness that feels to me really Jim Jarmusch.” Tilda Swinton Mystery Train (1989), Night on Earth (1991) and Only Lovers Left Alive (2013): It is certainly no accident that Jim Jarmusch’s films so often tell stories of peculiar night encounters. They speak of his love for quirky and eccentric characters; people that do not quite fit in the framew...

Ion kinetic effects and instabilities in the plasma flow in the magnetic mirror

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Kinetic effects in plasma flow due to a finite ion temperature and ion reflections in a converging–diverging magnetic nozzle are investigated with collisionless quasineutral hybrid simulations with kinetic ions and isothermal Boltzmann electrons. It is shown that in the cold ions limit, the velocity profile of the particles agrees well with the analytical theory, predicting the formation of the global accelerating potential due to the magnetic mirror with the maximum of the magnetic field and resulting in the transonic ion velocity profile. The global transonic ion velocity profile is also obtained for warm ions with isotropic and anisotropic distributions. Partial ion reflections are observed due to a combined effect of the magnetic mirror and time-dependent fluctuations of the potential as a result of the wave breaking and instabilities in the regions when the fluid solutions become multi-valued. Despite partial reflections, the flow of the passing ions still follows the global accelerating profile defined by the magnetic field profile. In simulations with reflecting boundary condition imitating the plasma source and allowing the transitions between trapped and passing ions, the global nature of the transonic accelerating solution is revealed as a constrain on the plasma exhaust velocity that ultimately defines plasma density in the source region.
The SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department at 21: R&D for sustainable aquaculture

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

This paper reviews the research output of the SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department (AQD) over the past 21 years of its existence. These realized studies are compared with the priority problem areas recommended for research by international or regional seminar-workshops convened by AQD in 1983, 1987, 1991 and 1994. Between 1976 and 1994, AQD researchers produced 554 publications, including 274 in journals indexed by the Institute for Scientific Information, 122 in other journals, and 158 in conference proceedings. Another 82 publications from work done outside AQD were authored or co-authored by AQD researchers, mostly during their graduate programs. In addition, AQD published 21 extension manuals and 14 technical reports and monographs by AQD researchers, and co-published two other monographs by non-AQD researchers. AQD's major contributions have been the technologies for tiger shrimp seed production, grow-out culture, feeds, and disease control; milkfish seed production and feeds; rabbitfish seed production; and tilapia feeds and strain selection. Communication and two-way feedback among AQD researchers and representatives of the aquaculture industry and the SEAFDEC Member Countries must be improved to fine-tune AQD research. In the late 1980s, AQD started redirecting some of its research towards environmental problems in aquaculture. Much of the near future will be spent implementing research imperatives in sustainable and responsible aquaculture.
Hour-glass magnetic spectrum in an insulating, hole-doped antiferromagnet

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Superconductivity in layered copper-oxide compounds emerges when charge carriers are added to antiferromagnetically-ordered CuO2 layers. The carriers destroy the antiferromagnetic order, but strong spin fluctuations persist throughout the superconducting phase and are intimately linked to super-conductivity. Neutron scattering measurements of spin fluctuations in hole-doped copper oxides have revealed an unusual `hour-glass' feature in the momentum-resolved magnetic spectrum, present in a wide range of superconducting and non-superconducting materials. There is no widely-accepted explanation for this feature. One possibility is that it derives from a pattern of alternating spin and charge stripes, an idea supported by measurements on stripe-ordered La1.875Ba0.125CuO4. However, many copper oxides without stripe order also exhibit an hour-glass spectrum$. Here we report the observation of an hour-glass magnetic spectrum in a hole-doped antiferromagnet from outside the family of superconducting copper oxides. Our system has stripe correlations and is an insulator, which means its magnetic dynamics can conclusively be ascribed to stripes. The results provide compelling evidence that the hour-glass spectrum in the copper-oxide superconductors arises from fluctuating stripes.
The Efficiency of the Performing Arts: Evidence from Data Envelopment Analysis for Russian Theaters

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This article addresses the problem of efficiency measurement in the performing arts by investigating the highly heterogeneous Russian theater market. We adopt data envelopment analysis and explore efficiency drivers, focusing on two groups of public theaters, classical academic and leading regional theaters. The scope of programming, observed through touring and new productions, is shown to have a negative impact on efficiency. The implications highlight the importance of accounting for the sector's heterogeneity for more accurate and meaningful measurements of efficiency. The results can inform decisions on programming and resource allocation to optimize both artistic and financial goals.
MON-279 Correlation Between Haemolitic Complement Activity (CH50) and Growth Hormone Response to Stimulation in Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency: Preliminary Data

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract It is known that GH, directly or via IGF-1 activity, influences many aspects of immune response; both humoral and cellular branches are modulated, but no data are available about complement function. CH50 is a screening assay for the activation of the classical complement pathway and it is sensitive to the reduction, absence and/or inactivity of any component of the pathway. The CH50 tests the functional capability of serum complement components of the classical pathway to lyse sheep red blood cells (SRBC) pre-coated with rabbit anti-sheep red blood cell antibody (haemolysin). On the other hand, a low inflammation is present in GH deficiency (GHD) and it is related to cardiovascular risk of such situation, also in partial forms.Therefore, we performed a cohort study in a group of adult GHD patients evaluating CH50 levels to further explore the pattern of inflammatory markers in this condition.We included 17 patients with total GHD (GH peak after stimulation with GHRH+arginine &lt;9 ng/ml with BMI&lt;30 or &lt;4 ng/ml with BMI≥30 Kg/m2; n=15) or partial GHD (peak between 9 and 16 ng/ml with BMI&lt;30 Kg/m2 n=2) with mean±SEM BMI 27.7±2.6 kg/m2 and mean±SEM age 52.5±2.6 ys. The etiology of GHD, assessed by MRI, was: primary empty sella (n=7); post-surgical (n=1) pituitary adenoma (n=4); idiopathic (n=4), pineal cyst (n=1); CH50 has been assayed by turbidimetric method. Mean±SEM CH50 of entire cohort was 50.75±2.5 U/l (normal range 12.5-100 U/ml); however, a significant inverse correlation was observed between GH AUC and CH50 levels (Spearman r=-0.49; p=0.04).This datum joint to our previous observations about increased free light chains of immunoglobulins in GHD, substantiating the hypothesis of chronic low-grade inflammation affecting this condition, which in turn could negatively influence GH secretion. These data could be of interest especially in patients recognized as “idiopathic” GHD, where no pituitary morphologic alterations or anamnestic information (previous surgery, trauma or irradiation) were found. However, these data cannot be conclusive and further studies are needed to establish the causal relationships between these parameters, also in a greater cohort of patients.
Evaluation and Estimation of Fatigue on Long-distance Driving

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Traffic accidents caused by fatigue and/or overwork driving on driving for ling-time never ceased and we are attempting to evaluate and estimate fatigue. 3 participants drove on a highway course consisted of a slow lane and a passing lane for about an hour and were measured their R-R interval. Their fatigue level was analyzed based on LF/HF, which is calculated by Fast-Fourier-Transformed (FFT) R-R interval. From experiment and data analysis, 2 participants were seemed to get to be fatigue state judging from increasing of LF/HF.
Words and patterns: lexico-grammatical patterns and semantic relations in domain-specific discourses

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The underlying assumption of this study is the understanding of a specialized term as a summary of disciplinary knowledge, formalized at a textual level in the contextual relations which structure disciplinary lexical knowledge and are therefore essential for the successful interpretation of a text. With that aim this paper carries the analysis of the lexico-grammatical patterns which signal the hyponymy and meronymy relations of the term building, a key disciplinary concept in a corpus of construction engineering textbooks, using the WordNet database for reference. The linguistic analysis of the repertoire of lexico-grammatical patterns employed brings to the fore the dual role of hyponymy and meronymy as both semantic and metalinguistic discourse-organizing lexical resources, key in the rhetorical organization of the discourse of this discipline.
Atrial fibrillation mortality trends in individuals with heart failure

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently occurs concurrently with heart failure (HF). The two conditions can exacerbate each other, resulting in higher morbidity and mortality. In our analysis, we evaluated mortality trends related to AF in individuals with underlying HF. Cross-sectional analyses were performed using publicly available data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention database to compare AF-related age-adjusted mortality rates across age, gender, racial/ethnic, and geographic subgroups. Mortality trends were evaluated by fitting log-linear regression models followed by calculation of the average annual percentage change (AAPC) using the Monte Carlo permutation test. We identified a total of 55,917 deaths within the United States from AF with comorbid HF between 1999 and 2020. Males, older adults, White populations, and non-metropolitan regions had higher age-adjusted mortality compared to females, younger adults, Black populations, and metropolitan regions, respectively. The AAPC among younger adults was significantly higher compared to older adults. Our results demonstrate existing disparities among age, gender, racial, and geographic subgroups related to AF mortality among individuals with comorbid HF. Although decreased overall mortality was observed within younger populations compared to older populations, the prominent AAPC seen in younger populations warrants further investigation. Detection of AF among younger adults with comorbid HF should prompt the intensification of preventative and treatment measures.
Impaired phonetic learning in Parkinson's Disease

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder primarily associated with its motor consequences. However, it also has important implications for cognitive functions, including speech production (Altmann and Troche, 2011), the perception of speech intensity (Richardson and Sussman, 2019), and visual category learning (Shohamy et al., 2008), due to its effects on subcortical brain systems that rely on dopamine. In the present study, we examine the effects of PD on a variety of speech perception tasks: one of non-native phonetic learning, one of learning to comprehend rate-compressed speech, one of learning to understand accented speech, and one probing the use of speech rate to guide word segmentation. People with PD showed significant deficits when compared to young and age-matched controls in their ability to adapt to rate-compressed speech. Within the population of those with PD, participants using levodopa-based medication performed significantly worse on the non-native learning task than a small subset of participants without such medication. This suggests that changes in dopamine regulation and use associated with PD have significant effects on higher-level aspects of speech perception such as speech learning.

Functions of Myc-associated genes in zebrafish ciliogenesis

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

Cilia are filamentous cellular protrusions that are highly conserved amongst eukaryotic organisms. There are two classes of cilia: motile and immotile. This project focus on motile cilia, and uses the zebrafish as the model organism —due to its genetic amenability — to investigate FoxJ1 induced genes (FIG) that are associated with the motile ciliogenic programme, such as mycbp, mycbpap, and maats1. The roles of these Myc-associated genes in ciliary differentiation and function were investigated by carrying out a loss-of-function study as well as expression pattern analysis. The mycbp morphants exhibited a variety of ciliary defect-associated phenotypes including hydrocephalus and curved axis. In the morphants, the loss of mycbp lead to 58% depletion of motile cilia in the zebrafish pronephric duct. In situ hybridization of mycbp showed that it is ubiquitously expressed in the zebrafish embryo. Further work is required for maats1 and mycbpap. Ciliary dysfunction leads to a host of human diseases. By using the zebrafish as a model organism, it is hoped that the study can provide new insights to cilia biology, which might contribute positively to emulating ciliary disease models in humans, whereby suitable treatments may be generated.
The Anti-Trafficking Bill, 2018: Does it Fulfill India’s Commitment to the International Community?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Trafficking in persons is one of the most complex and challenging problems faced by the world today. The United Nations has attempted to build a global momentum to combat this crime, commencing with the 1949 Convention for Suppression of the Traffic in Persons, and the millennial Convention against Transnational Organized Crimes and its Protocol (after this Palermo Protocol). The Conventions call upon State parties to adopt a comprehensive approach to prevent and combat trafficking in persons while emphasizing the human rights protection of the victims thereof. India, the epicenter of trafficking in the South-Asian region, owing to its geographical porosity and socio-economic condition, has pledged to join the fight not only by ratifying the Palermo Protocol in 2011 but also brought forth its enabling legislation, the Trafficking in Persons (Prevention, Protection, and Rehabilitation) Bill, 2018. With existing legislation already in vogue, the latest iteration merely appears to add to the entire cacophony, without addressing the core issues. The present paper analyzes the proposed legislation in the light of international standards and argues that the legislation emphasizes criminalization over a human rights perspective.
