Significant role of symbiotic bacteria in the blood digestion and reproduction of Dermanyssus gallinae mites.

Endosymbiotic bacteria significantly impact the fitness of their arthropod hosts. Dermanyssus gallinae, the poultry red mite, is a blood-feeding ectoparasite that exclusively feeds on avian blood. While there is a relatively comprehensive understanding of its microbial community structures across developmental stages based on 16S rRNA sequencing， the functional integration of these microbes within the host's physiology remains elusive. This study aims to elucidate the role of symbiotic bacteria in D. gallinae biology. 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed a prominent midgut-confinement bacterial microbiota with considerable diversity, out of which Kocuria and Bartonella A acted as the predominant bacterial genera inhabiting D. gallinae. The relative abundance of Bartonella A increased rapidly after blood-sucking, suggesting its adaptation to a blood-based diet and its pivotal role in post-engorgement activities. Some of the isolated bacterial strains from D. gallinae display hemolytic activity on blood agar, potentially aiding blood digestion. To corroborate this in vivo, antibiotic-mediated clearance was exploited to generate dysbiosed cohorts of D. gallinae mites, lacking some of the key bacterial species. Phenotypic assessments revealed that dysbiosed mites experienced delayed blood digestion and diminished reproductive capacity. Whole-genome sequencing identified Bartonella A as a new species within the genus Bartonella, exhibiting characteristics of an obligate symbiont. These findings underscore the significance of microbiota in poultry red mites and suggest microbiota-targeted strategies for controlling mite populations in poultry farms.

Seeding a Sustainable Future: Navigating the Digital Horizon of Smart Agriculture

Agriculture is essential to the existence of the human race, as well as the foundation of our civilization, because it provides food, fuel, fiber, and other resources necessary for survival; however, it is facing critical challenges due to anthropogenic climate change, which hampers food and nutritional security. Consequently, the agriculture industry must adjust to farming issues, such as the shift in global temperatures and environmental degradation, the scarcity of farm workers, population growth, and dietary changes. Several measures have been implemented to enhance agricultural productivity, including plant breeding, genetic engineering, and precision agriculture. In recent years, the world has witnessed the burgeoning development of novel scientific innovations and technological advancements enabled by drones, smart sensors, robotics, and remote sensing, resulting in a plethora of revolutionary methods that can be applied to real-time crop modeling, high-throughput phenotyping, weather forecasting, yield prediction, fertilizer application, disease detection, market trading, farming practices, and other environmental practices vital to crop growth, yield, and quality. Furthermore, the rise in big data, advanced analytics, falling technology costs, faster internet connections, increased connectivity, and increases in computational power are all part of the current digitalization wave that has the potential to support commercial agriculture in achieving its goals of smart farming, resilience, productivity, and sustainability. These technologies enable efficient monitoring of crops, soil, and environmental conditions over large areas, providing farmers with data to support precise management that optimizes productivity and minimizes environmental impacts. Though smart farming has significant potential, challenges like high implementation costs, data security concerns, and inadequate digital literacy among farmers remain. In summary, agriculture is rapidly transforming from conventional to digital farming, offering global solutions, efficient resource utilization, and minimized input costs while fostering farmer livelihoods and economic growth. Delivering a comprehensive view of how technology could help in tackling critical issues like environmental degradation and threatened world biodiversity, this perspective emphasizes the perks of digitalization. Future advancements may involve data encryption, digital literacy, and particular economic policies.

Mathematical Modelling of Host-Pest Interaction in the Presence of Insecticides and Resistance: A Case of Fall Armyworm

Several pest management programs have been developed to control rising agricultural pest populations. However, the challenge of rapid evolution and pest resistance towards control measures continues to cause high production losses to maize farmers in Africa. Few models have attempted to address the issue of fall armyworm (FAW) but have barely incorporated the effect of insecticide resistance. Models with resistance would help predict the dynamics of the FAW population, thus mitigating losses. The main objectives of this work were to develop, analyze, and numerically simulate a susceptible-infected deterministic mathematical model expressing the FAW-maize interaction and population dynamics under insecticidal sprays and resistance FAW larvae. Three model steady states are established. Their local stability is conducted using either the eigenvalue or the Routh–Hurwitz stability criteria, and their global stability is analyzed using either the Castillo–Chavez, Perron eigenvector, or the Lyapunov methods. An expression for the basic reproduction number R0, together with the sensitivity analysis of its parameter values, is provided. Numerical analysis is conducted on various model parameter values. The results established all the model steady states to be locally and globally asymptotically stable at R0≤1. Also, resistance ω increased the infection rates by increasing the FAW larvae survival rate λ and reducing the insecticidal efficacy δR and δN. This work informs the agriculturists and policymakers on pest control with the best ways to use insecticides to minimize pest resistance and enhance efficacy in production. Pest control measures should be modified to lower the FAW survival rate and all model parameters contributing to resistance formation by FAW larvae to minimize FAW-host interaction, thus reducing crop damage.

Становление татаро-мусульманской общ­ности в Икско-Бельском междуречье в XIII–XIV веках

To identify and define a complex of historical, archaeological and linguistic materials representing information about the population of the Ik-Belaya interfluve in the 13th–14th centuries. Research materials: The article uses materials of archaeological research, as well as written and epigraphic sources from the territory of the Ik-Belaya interfluve of the 13th–14th centuries. Novelty and results of the study: During the period of the Golden Horde (Ulus of Jochi), the agricultural and Muslim population from the Bulgarian ulus began to actively penetrate into the territory of the Ik-Belaya interfluve (Agidel-yurt) while the steppe zone was inhabited by a nomadic population. Earlier, only the Tatar military aristocracy penetrated into the Bulgarian ulus, but nomadic tribes did not do so. Later, the border between the settled agricultural and nomadic populations became dynamic due to the crisis in the Late Golden Horde period. The northern part of the Eastern Kama region remained exclusively developed by the Muslim agricultural population which later became the basis for the formation of the Tatar people.

The influence of high-temperature frequency variation on the life-history traits of pyridaben-sensitive and -resistant strains of Tetranychus truncatus.

With a generally warming global climate, the number of Tetranychus truncatus specimens in the Hexi region in China has been increasing. As ectotherms, the growth and development of T. truncatus are greatly affected by changes in environmental temperature. The effect of heatwaves on organisms depends on a delicate balance between damage and repair periods. Therefore, we simulated nine patterns of periodically recurring changes in the frequency of high-temperature days using an intraday gradual temperature change model to study and compare the effects on the development and reproduction of pyridaben-sensitive and -resistant strains of T. truncatus. The results showed that the influence of the frequency of high-temperature days on developmental stages, longevity and fecundity was different between the two strains. The egg and immature stages of the sensitive strain were all affected by hot days, whereas the adult stage was less affected by the frequency. The egg stage of the resistant strain was less affected; it was mainly affected in the immature and adult stages. Under the moderate condition of increasing the proportion of days at normal temperature, the longevity of the resistant strain gradually increased and reached a maximum at a 1:3 frequency, and then it decreased with the increase in high-temperature days. The longevity of the sensitive strain was less affected by frequency, and there was no significant difference between most treatment and control groups. In addition, both sensitive and resistant strains were able to complete growth and development under all nine frequencies of high-temperature days, but the reproductive rate was lower than it was at normal temperatures, indicating that both strains of T. truncatus adapted to high temperatures at the expense of reduced reproduction rates. This lays a key theoretical foundation for predicting the occurrence of agricultural pest populations under the background of climate warming and developing appropriate control strategies.

Tailoring interventions through a combination of statistical typology and frontier analysis: a study of mixed crop-livestock farms in semi-arid Zimbabwe

Summary An innovative methodological approach combining statistical typologies and stochastic frontier analysis was applied to data collected from 1840 mixed crop-livestock farms in six districts of Zimbabwe, representative of semi-arid areas of the country. The average annual cereal production was 362 kg farm–1, and the average annual livestock offtake was 0.64 ± 1.32 Tropical Livestock Units (TLU) farm–1. Our results demonstrate there is scope to increase cereal and livestock production by 90.7% and 111.9% relative to current production levels, respectively, with more efficient use of existing resources and technologies. Rainfall was found to have a strong effect on cereal production, highlighting the need for climate-smart practices. Livestock mortality (0.59 ± 1.62 TLU farm–1) was found to be in the same order of magnitude as livestock offtake (0.64 ± 1.32 TLU farm–1). Cereal production was supported by livestock, demonstrating the importance of crop-livestock interactions in these mixed farming systems. Three farm types were identified in our analysis. Crop-oriented mixed farms (31%) are likely to be the ones most responsive to crop-specific interventions e.g., crop rotation and integrated pest management. Livestock-oriented mixed farms (34%) are likely to benefit the most from livestock-specific interventions, e.g., home feed. Mixed farms dependent on off-farm activities (36% of the sample) may require nutrition-sensitive and labour-saving sustainable intensification technologies to benefit from their limited resources. Reducing cattle mortality is a priority for all three farm types. The method proposed here could be adapted to other contexts characterized by heterogeneous farming populations to target interventions.

Design and development of a manual groundnut planter for smallholder farmers

This article presents the design and development of a manual groundnut planter, specifically tailored for smallholder farmers cultivating less than two hectares of land. The planter serves as an intermediate technology between hand tools and tractor-drawn multi-row planters, addressing the financial constraints faced by a significant portion of the farming population. The planter’s design focuses on minimizing drudgery by eliminating continuous bending and standing up, ultimately improving efficiency and reducing time wastage. Key considerations during the design phase include affordability, ease of construction using locally available materials, and low technological complexity, requiring minimal training for operation and maintenance. Operational functionality involves a single-row tiller drawn type planter, utilizing a feed-in disc roller principle. Seeds are poured into the hopper, picked up by the metering plate, and introduced into the chute. The furrow opener continuously opens the soil, and the seeds fall into the furrow, simultaneously closed by the leveller. The planter achieves a continuous planting at a 30 cm intra-row spacing. The article further details the description of the groundnut planter, highlighting its components such as the handle, seed hopper, furrow opener, seed discharge tube, main body (frame), and metering roller housing. The planter’s power is derived from the rotation of the wheel, and motion is transmitted through the shaft to the metering unit. The methodology is outlined, including a flowchart illustrating the design process and the use of AutoCAD software for the 2D design. Mechanical factors considered for the planter design include uniformity of seed depth placement, distribution along rows, transverse displacement, and soil cover. Design considerations prioritize the ease of fabrication, operator safety, simplicity for small-scale farmers, and the use of locally available materials. The viability and nature of the seed, including orientation and moisture content, are also taken into account. The article concludes with a discussion on the collection of required materials, including the seed box, seed metering disc, seed transmission hose, and main frame. The presented manual groundnut planter aims to enhance the planting process for smallholder farmers, offering an affordable and efficient solution to improve agricultural practices.

Глобальная бедность и структурные сдвиги в экономике

Over the past 30 years, the world has achieved significant success in the fight against global poverty. However, progress in reducing its scale varies greatly in different parts of the world. Today, the epicenter of this calamity lies in Sub-Saharan Africa. The concentration of poverty in several places on the planet does not make the study of sources and dynamics of this phenomenon any less relevant. It is simultaneously both the root cause and the consequence of many current global challenges. The article focuses on analyzing the connection between the dynamics of poverty and structural shifts in the economies of developing countries. The authors note that for a long time, an important mechanism for reducing poverty in poor countries was the outflow of unskilled labor from the agricultural sector to the industrial one. As long as labor-intensive technologies were used in industry, it effectively absorbed the uneducated agricultural population, increasing their income and lifting them out of poverty. However, innovative labor-saving technologies and the digitization of economy have slowed down this process.Modern economy requires fewer workers while placing high demands on the quality of human capital. Poor African countries, caught up amid global technological shifts, have faced major challenges. One of the main ones includes the low level of education and vocational training, as well as the absence of not only computer literacy but also basic literacy. Under such conditions, innovation cannot organically develop, create high-tech jobs, and contribute to poverty reduction. Our contribution to academic literature lies in the demonstration, based on empirical materials, of various models of reducing global poverty in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. We also draw attention to possible mechanisms of this reduction and their transformation against the backdrop of the implementation of modern advanced technologies.

The Clinical and Microbiological Characteristics of Fungal Keratitis in COVID-19 Period

Abstract Context: In India, the incidence of fungal keratitis ranges from 44% to 47%, due to its tropical environment and huge at-risk agricultural population. The emergence of COVID-19 has influenced the medical management of fungal keratitis. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and microbiological characteristics of fungal corneal ulcers during COVID-19 period. Settings and Design: This was a cross-sectional study of 1-year duration. Subjects and Methods: Fifty-two KOH mount-positive and fungal culture-positive patients were included in the study. Ophthalmic examination, including best-corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp examination, fluorescent staining was done, Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT). Corneal scraping was sent for 10% KOH mount and fungal cultures with Sabouraud’s dextrose agar for growth. Statistical Analysis Used: The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (Version 20) was used for statistical analysis. Results: Fifty-two KOH mount and fungal culture-positive patients were included, with a mean age of 50.88 years. 53.8% were farmers. 55.6% had a history of trauma with organic matter. The common signs noted were an irregular, dry looking, central corneal ulcer measuring 2-5mm extending 20-50% deep, mid stromal infiltration, satellite lesions and surrounding stromal oedema. Eleven presented with perforation. The best-corrected visual acuity was hand movements (32.7%). The KOH mount positive among the screened patients was 46.7%, of which 52 were culture positive. Aspergillus fumigatus (61.5%) was the predominant cause of mycotic keratitis. Conclusion: Mycotic keratitis was mostly caused by filamentous fungus and was most frequently observed among farmers. COVID-19 has increased the cases of perforated corneal ulcers, and ASOCT was the noninvasive, feasible tool to assess the cornea.

Iodine content in components of ecosystems of Yakutia

The problem of iodine deficiency in the ecosystems of Yakutia has a serious impact on human and animal health, affects vital processes and causes damage to agriculture, which requires systematic study. The aim of this study is to investigate the processes of iodine cycling in various components of the ecosystem, including air, soil, water, plants and animals. Research in this direction is becoming increasingly important in view of the widespread problem of iodine deficiency, which affects both the health of the local population and production activities in agriculture. In order to gain an in-deep understanding of the iodine cycle in the ecosystems of Yakutia, the study was conducted in various biogeochemical provinces identified on the basis of landscape and soil criteria. Laboratory methods of biochemical analysis included the kinetic rhodanide-nitrite method, the titrimetric method and the oxidation reaction of the rhodanide ion. The study of the iodine content in the studied components of the ecosystems of Yakutia revealed significant differences in its concentration in various types of water and soils, depending on the biogeochemical characteristics of the provinces. Pasture plants in the Central Yakutia province had a significantly low iodine content than in the Kolyma province, which does not meet the needs of local livestock. This is a potential problem for livestock production and is related to the general trends in iodine concentration in the soils of this province. In general, these results highlight the importance of understanding the biogeochemical characteristics of ecosystems in order to develop effective strategies for managing iodine content in order to ensure human and animal health in Yakutia.

「스마트농업 육성 및 지원에 관한 법률」 제정에 따른 향후 과제

The Act on Promotion and Support of Smart Agriculture, which was approved during the plenary session of the National Assembly in June 2023, is scheduled to take effect from July 2024. Comprising 6 chapters and 25 articles, this legislation addresses key aspects such as the framework for nurturing and supporting smart agriculture, the establishment of a foundation dedicated to smart agriculture, and the promotion and expansion of smart agricultural practices. Anticipated to serve as a foundational milestone, the Act is poised to facilitate diverse policy initiatives grounded in legal principles in the future. Additionally, it will play a crucial role in consolidating the objectives and orientations of various policy endeavors that have, until now, lacked a clear legal foundation.
 However, as many of the provisions are focused on supporting policy projects currently being implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, there are still some issues that are insufficient in content or require further consideration. Primarily, it may be deemed inappropriate to explicitly designate ‘promoting unmanned agriculture’ as the primary objective of the law, for various reasons. Considering the various social issues related to smart agriculture, it seems somewhat inappropriate that the Act does not include a provision stipulating the priority of application of laws to prevent contradictions or conflicts in the interpretation and enforcement of laws in the future. In addition, the absence of provisions related to support for domestic and international sales of products or treatment of smart farm by-products is also considered to be an area that needs to be supplemented in the future.
 In fact, Korea's ‘smart agriculture’ did not initially rely on clear definitions and concepts. Instead, it evolved by incorporating and refining similar or adjacent concepts, such as facility agriculture, precision agriculture, and digital agriculture, to a certain extent. This development was guided by addressing specific issues and aligning with policies. It is also a major characteristic of smart agriculture in Korea that the discourse on smart agriculture has been spread by the government, rather than naturally growing the pie of related industries centered on the private sector and the market like major countries abroad. Despite these limitations, smart agriculture has emerged as a major topic in agriculture, not only as a response to the agricultural sector's transition to a digital economy, but also as a way to increase agricultural productivity for food security, respond to the declining and aging farm population, and address climate change and environmental issues in the agricultural sector.
 Therefore, complementary work such as revising the law prior to the full-scale implementation of the Act on Promotion and Support of Smart Agriculture, resolving doubts and building consensus in the agricultural field, emphasizing the agricultural mission of stably supplying food and maintaining rural society, upgrading the smart agriculture policy promotion system centered on ‘data’, and setting goals and strategies for ‘Korean-style smart agriculture’ in a way that broadly recognizes and utilizes the problems and resources of the agricultural field as well as domestic climate conditions will be the future challenges of domestic smart agriculture sector laws and policies.

The study assesses the impact of financial inclusion initiatives on improving the socio-economic conditions of these marginalized groups, as well as the extent to which India's efforts contribute to achieving the SDGs. An important initiative, in Financial Inclusion is JAM. JAM (short for Jan Dhan-Aadhaar-Mobile) trinity refers to the government of India initiative to link Jan Dhan accounts, mobile numbers and Aadhaar cards of Indians to plug the leakages of government subsidies.

Factors Affecting Post-Weaning Growth of Boer and Boer Cross Goats in a Closed Breeding Farm Population

This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the post-weaning growth of Boer and Boer cross goats in a closed breeding farm population. A total of 1,083 female kids were selected from a record of 1,501 weaned kids produced by mating Boer bucks with Boer does, Jawarandu does, and Boer × Jawarandu does. The data collected at a private company's goat farm represent a closed breeding population from January 2013 to January 2016. The data were selected based on the weaning weight and at least one post-weaning weight at approximately 6, 9, or 12 months. Two-step linear models were applied: complete model and reduced model. The complete model factors included genetic group, buck, litter size, birth season, weaning season-year, and their interactions. The reduced model included only significant factors and two-way interactions. The results showed that the genetic group, bucks, litter size, birth season, and weaning season-year significantly affected Boer and Boer cross goats' post-weaning weight and average daily gain. Additionally, interactions between the genetic group with the buck, litter size, and birth season were observed. In conclusion, genetic and non-genetic factors significantly influence the post-weaning growth of Boer and Boer cross goats. Non-genetic factors should be considered in the model and selection to achieve optimal goat performance.

The Colorado Delta, 1771–1776: Rereading Francisco Garcés

The ethnohistory of the Colorado River delta has been substantively misunderstood, owing to the widespread neglect and/or misinterpretations of the writings of Francisco Garcés. In 1771, 1774, and 1775–76, Garcés undertook three entradas into the delta, and wrote a series of valuable ethnographic accounts. Not only have Garcés’s locations and routes frequently been misidentified by earlier scholars, his observations on agricultural production and population size have been ignored or marginalized, enabling misconceptions about delta historical demography and adaptation to flourish. The present paper seeks to restore Garcés’s accounts, making his locations and ethnographic observations intelligible and interpretable, and to show how these can help resolve extant misconceptions. Part I focuses on some key texts, tying his locations to a master map. Part II focuses on ethnolinguistic groups and settlement sites, and discusses the implications for a better understanding of historical demography and agricultural adaptation in the delta.

A Sustainable Risk Management Model and Instruments for Young Farmers in EU Agriculture

Young farmers are ready to embrace innovation, smart agriculture, and science-based research to ensure that their work has long-term viability, profitability, and productivity. To prevent the farming population from aging and to ensure farming success, financial support must be provided through instruments that are specifically aimed at young farmers. It is necessary that youth have access to agricultural land policy throughout the EU for the agricultural sector to remain sustainable. In the European Union, young farmers manage farms that are in the lowest-size group. The limited financial possibilities available to young people in the EU exacerbate this. The relationships between risk management instruments and other interventions (such as direct payment and ex-post instruments) and the integration of these tools into national and EU policy frameworks must be thoroughly examined in future policy. Evaluating the possible repercussions of risk management being widely implemented as well as measuring the anticipated variations in farm revenue and the volatility of agricultural commodity prices are equally crucial. Therefore, the present article utilized extant data to conduct a comparative analysis and ultimately present a set of multidisciplinary and quantitative indicators of supportive measures for young farmers in the EU, while also identifying the requisite areas for improvement.

The role of labour productivity within Algeria's sustainable economic development

Despite Algeria's abundant natural resources, achieving sustainable growth and prosperity remains challenging. Amid this, labour productivity within the agricultural sector stands as a silent warrior, holding within its grasp the secrets to propel the Algerian economy forward. Therefore, this study tries to uncover the pivotal role of labour productivity in Algeria's agricultural sector as a beacon for sustainable economic development. Using an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model from 1990-2021, the results reveal that agricultural gross production value, inflation, and population growth are significant determinants of GDP per capita in the short-run, while agricultural value added per worker also emerges as an essential long-run driver. However, agricultural employment is shown to have an insignificant impact, indicating declines in the sector's workforce and neglect in recent years. Overall, the analysis confirms the hypotheses of either short-term or long-term connections between labour productivity and sustainable economic development within Algeria's agricultural sector. These findings illuminate a pathway that suggests revitalising the labour productivity within Algeria's agricultural sector could be a key lever in transforming Algeria's economic landscape towards a more prosperous and sustainable future.

How does industrial transformative process shape the spatial dynamics of urban development?

Rapid global expansion of built-up areas and industrialization has led to significant environmental challenges, particularly in terms of anthropogenic carbon emissions. Consequently, it has become crucial to comprehensively understand the spatial dynamics of urban built-up areas and the associated socioeconomic transitions. This understanding serves as a critical foundation for formulating effective land use and industrial policies that not only promote economic sustainability but also contribute to the pursuit of environment related- sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, our knowledge about the dynamic relationship between urban industrial structure and built-up area patterns is limited. To address this gap, we use partial redundancy analysis (PRDA) to quantify the relative impact of key industrial employment sectors. The results indicate that the transformation of industrial structure has a significant influence on the spatial dynamics and morphologies of urban built-up areas. In addition, we found that the decline in agricultural population is associated with an increase in spatial isolation, while the growth of the manufacturing population affects changes in spatial extent and regularity. Furthermore, the combined impact of industrial and economic drivers accounts for up to 24.4% of the dynamics of urban built-up areas, with industrial transformation having a 3.82% greater impact than economic growth. These findings provide a valuable understanding of the interconnectedness between the spatial evolution of built-up areas and socioeconomic transitions, not only in China but also in other city clusters worldwide. Moreover, they might contribute to the knowledge of carbon neutrality pathways, further promoting sustainable development efforts.

Medically Significant Vector-Borne Viral Diseases in Iran.

Vector-borne viral diseases (VBVDs) continue to pose a considerable public health risk to animals and humans globally. Vectors have integral roles in autochthonous circulation and dissemination of VBVDs worldwide. The interplay of agricultural activities, population expansion, urbanization, host/pathogen evolution, and climate change, all contribute to the continual flux in shaping the epidemiology of VBVDs. In recent decades, VBVDs, once endemic to particular countries, have expanded into new regions such as Iran and its neighbors, increasing the risk of outbreaks and other public health concerns. Both Iran and its neighboring countries are known to host a number of VBVDs that are endemic to these countries or newly circulating. The proximity of Iran to countries hosting regional diseases, along with increased global socioeconomic activities, e.g., international trade and travel, potentially increases the risk for introduction of new VBVDs into Iran. In this review, we examined the epidemiology of numerous VBVDs circulating in Iran, such as Chikungunya virus, Dengue virus, Sindbis virus, West Nile virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus, Sandfly-borne phleboviruses, and Hantavirus, in relation to their vectors, specifically mosquitoes, ticks, sandflies, and rodents. In addition, we discussed the interplay of factors, e.g., urbanization and climate change on VBVD dissemination patterns and the consequent public health risks in Iran, highlighting the importance of a One Health approach to further surveil and to evolve mitigation strategies.
