Comparative analysis of T-cell immunity between Streptococcus agalactiae susceptible and resistant tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is one of the important economic fish species cultured worldwide. However, Streptococcus agalactiae has emerged as a significant bacterial threat, severely impacting the economy of tilapia industry. The immune response underlying the resistance of tilapia to S. agalactiae are not well understood, hindering the reasonable evaluation of breeding and the formulation of effective strategies. In this study, we investigated the differences in T-cell immunity between S. agalactiae-resistant and -susceptible tilapia. Compared with susceptible tilapia, resistant tilapia exhibited a higher percentage of T cells and BrdU+ T cells during infection, indicating a superior proliferative capacity. Whether infected or not, T cells from resistant fish demonstrated a greater ability to resist apoptosis. Additionally, T cell effector genes, including interleukin (IL)-2, interferon (IFN)-γ, perforin A, and granzyme B were expressed at higher levels in resistant tilapia after infection. Along with these T-cell immune responses, resistant fish showed more effective clearance of infection. Our study elucidates the T-cell immune responses in resistant tilapia, which may contribute to the high resistance of tilapia to S. agalactiae, and providing valuable theoretical references for the selection and evaluation of disease-resistant fish strains in the future.

Youth Engagement in Climate Action: Addressing Crime, Education, and Resilience in Coastal Jamaica

If someone were to ask what the Caribbean is like, they would most likely speak of the beautiful beaches and tourist destinations. It’s a common misconception that the Caribbean is only paradise, and due to fewer networks available in the area to produce reports on climate change, it becomes an overlooked issue. Jamaica, a small island nation in the Caribbean, is no exception. Small Island Nations are some of the most vulnerable communities to climate change in the world—they tend to lack resources, a strong population, and have a reliance on imports along with a dependence on ocean resources which are being directly affected by climate change. While Jamaica only contributes an extremely small portion of the world’s carbon emissions, they are left to deal with repercussions of many states’ industrial economies, like the United States and China, who have caused irreversible damage to the environment. It is hard for Small Island Nations like Jamaica to not feel hopeless in the face of climate change—they are dealing with a problem they did not cause, with resources they do not have. But, Jamaica may be able to fend for themselves in creating their own sustainable nation. As a vulnerable country, it is crucial that Jamaica takes the necessary precautions in the next few years to prevent any detrimental weather events that could severely destroy their nation. Building on previous research related to climate action and climate change in Jamaica, this paper presents the voices of Jamaican youth and their experience with climate change.

Factorial design methodology for synthesizing zeolites: A critical review

AbstractThis review shows an outlook about several works which have used the factorial design methodology for synthesizing zeolites and mesoporous materials, included the use of wastes as sources of silicon and aluminum. In the bibliography several interesting works were identified with a complete development of the factorial design methodology. However, there are other works that showed a limited statistical analysis of the results. In spite of these issues, their contribution in the advance of synthesis of zeolites is important. Moreover, different ways to measure the crystallinity were detected being the X‐ray diffraction (XRD) the most used technique. This work also gives a proposal of the complete factorial design methodology as a guide in future works for synthesizing zeolites or zeo‐types materials. This work presents a detailed review of the methodology of designing experiments for the synthesis of zeolite or zeo‐type materials, where it has been shown and analyzed the type of design used, because the choice of a design involves a large number of experiments or few experiments thus facilitating the production of zeolite, in addition to the factors that influence the synthesis give information of the type to obtained zeolites, also includes a guide for applying this methodology. Experiment design methodology can help to produce high quality zeolites from virgin raw material or waste that impact the economy of the zeolite industry.

It contributes for the further development of regional integration and other related theories; (ii) on the practical aspect, this study, taking the CPUA as example, presents an assessment approach that uses multivariate big data to measure the current integrated situation of urban agglomeration. This method provides decision-making support for the development of urban agglomeration integration.

Mechanization in Cotton Farming: Addressing Labor Shortages and Enhancing Productivity in India

Cotton is a globally significant crop, playing a vital role in both the agricultural and industrial economy. Cotton is a crucial raw material for the textile and apparel industries, driving international trade and commerce. Its global demand influences market dynamics, trade policies, and economies worldwide. The cotton industry provides livelihoods for millions of people, particularly in developing countries, from farming to manufacturing, making it a key source of employment globally. In India, approximately 59% of the raw material for India's textile industry comes from cotton. However, cotton cultivation is challenged by lower yields and high costs associated with various operations such as sowing, weed management, pest control, and harvesting. Mechanization significantly improves cotton yield and profitability by enhancing efficiency, reducing labor, and enabling the cultivation of larger areas with better resource utilization. Precision tools like seed-cum-fertilizer drills and mechanized planters ensure optimal seed placement and spacing, boosting plant health and yield potential. Additionally, mechanized harvesting reduces labor costs, minimizes harvest losses, and ensures better-quality cotton, leading to higher market returns and overall profitability. The innovative concept of High Density Planting Systems (HDPS) shows great potential for improving yields, particularly in rainfed cotton. This system involves planting five to ten plants per square meter, which enhances yield and is compatible with mechanized operations for seeding, weeding, pest management, and harvesting. The key objective of using improved sowing equipment is to achieve precise seed distribution within the row, facilitating operations like weeding and fertilizing at predetermined distances and depths. Proper seed placement by planters is critical to achieving optimal germination. Implementing efficient mechanical weeders could motivate small-scale farmers, boosting production and reducing poverty. A power weeder, a mechanized tool commonly used for preparing soil beds, offers significant savings in time, labor, and fuel. Furthermore, the adoption of mechanical cotton pickers would help ensure timely harvesting operations, increasing yields and contributing to higher cotton production. India’s low cotton productivity can be attributed to the limited adoption of modern agronomic practices and the low level of mechanization. Embracing these innovations could lead to significant improvements in the cotton sector Cotton pickers and strippers play a vital role in modern, large-scale cotton cultivation by significantly reducing harvesting time and labor costs, making them indispensable for efficient operations. These machines increase productivity by enabling faster harvesting across larger areas, minimizing the reliance on manual labor, which can be costly and scarce. Additionally, they reduce harvest losses and enhance yield by ensuring more cotton is collected with minimal waste. Cotton pickers, being gentler, help preserve fiber quality, while strippers are ideal for bulk harvesting in regions growing lower-grade cotton. Overall, mechanized harvesting ensures timely and efficient cotton collection, improving both yield and quality.

Некоторые основные проблемы экономического развития современной России

The work provides assessments of trends and factors of economic growth in modern Russia. The research was carried out on the basis of constructing econometric models using Rosstat data. Research results show that the main trends in economic development consisted of a decrease in the rate of economic growth and the rate of growth in labor productivity. The main factor of economic growth was the growth of labor productivity. There were no significant trends in changes in the growth rate of employment and the growth rate of accumulated fixed capital. The growth in labor productivity was achieved, to a large extent, due to an increase in the capital intensity of production. The basis for economic development was largely an ineffective archaic mechanism, the mechanism for the formation of an industrial economy. Employment growth had a negative impact on economic growth rates. The results obtained indicate that the most important factors of competitiveness and economic growth - human capital and new technologies - are insufficiently and ineffectively used. They did not ensure an increase in labor productivity due to investing in outdated technologies, attracting workers who do not have high qualifications, which is due to a decline in the quality of education and a reduction in the scale of scientific research and development. Education has largely lost its function of forming human capital. The research and development system does not sufficiently serve as a source of new technologies. The identified problems are obviously due to shortcomings in economic policy, shortcomings in financial management and investment processes, insufficient funding and ineffective management of the education system, research and development.

Light-Driven, Reversible Spatiotemporal Control of Dynamic Covalent Polymers.

Dynamic covalent polymer networks exhibit a cross-linked structure like conventional thermosets and elastomers, although their topology can be reorganized through externally triggered bond exchange reactions. This characteristic enables a unique combination of repairability, recyclability and dimensional stability, crucial for a sustainable industrial economy. Herein the application of a photoswitchable nitrogen superbase is reported for the spatially resolved and reversible control over dynamic bond exchange within a thiol-ene photopolymer. By the exposure to UV or visible light, the associative exchange between thioester links and thiol groups is successfully gained control over, and thereby the macroscopic mechanical material properties, in a locally controlled manner. Consequently, the resulting reorganization of the global network topology enables to utilize this material for previously unrealizable advanced applications such as spatially resolved, reversible reshaping as well as micro-imprinting over multiple steps. Finally, the presented concept contributes fundamentally to the evolution of dynamic polymers and provides universal applicability in covalent adaptable networks relying on a base-catalyzed exchange mechanism.

Tracking the Economic Contributions West Virginia’s Forest Products Industry During the COVID-19 Pandemic Era: A Look at 2019 Through 2022 Data

Abstract West Virginia’s forest products industry’s (FPI) contributions to the state’s economy have historically been influenced by factors such as increasing global competition, increasing automation, recessions, the shale gas boom, and more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there are limited data regarding the impact of the pandemic on the industry and state economy. Given its importance to the state economy, it is therefore important to examine the effect of the pandemic on the industry and the state economy and its recovery postpandemic. This study quantifies the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on West Virginia’s FPI from 2019 through 2022, highlighting significant recovery postpandemic. As expected, during the peak of the pandemic spanning the periods of 2019 and 2020 marked a decline in the West Virginia FPI performance across all measures of economic contributions. However, the magnitude and length of the adverse impact is not as significant as the impact of the Great Recession. The forestry sector experienced the largest decline in terms of direct and total economic contributions while the furniture sector remained relatively resilient. By 2021, the industry already experienced recovery which continued through 2022. In fact, 2022 levels were higher than the prepandemic levels except for employment and direct employee compensation. In general, most sectors of the industry have shown recovery and are even performing better than before the pandemic, except for the logging sector. The West Virginia FPI has proven its resiliency during the pandemic and capitalized on opportunities to respond to the changing demand for forest products.

Use of Metallic Nanoparticles Against Eimeria-the Coccidiosis-Causing Agents: A Comprehensive Review.

Coccidiosis is a protozoan disease caused by Eimeria species and is a major threat to the poultry industry. Different anti-coccidial drugs (diclazuril, amprolium, halofuginone, ionophores, sulphaquinoxaline, clopidol, and ethopabate) and vaccines have been used for their control. Still, due to the development of resistance, their efficacy has been limited. It is continuously damaging the economy of the poultry industry because under its control, almost $14 billion is spent, globally. Recent research has been introducing better and more effective control of coccidiosis by using metallic and metallic oxide nanoparticles. Zinc, zinc oxide, copper, copper oxide, silver, iron, and iron oxide are commonly used because of their drug delivery mechanism. These nanoparticles combined with other drugs enhance the effect of these drugs and give their better results. Moreover, by using nanotechnology, the resistance issue is also solved because by using several mechanisms at a time, protozoa cannot evolve and thus resistance cannot develop. Green nanotechnology has been giving better results due to its less toxic effects. Utilization of metallic and metallic oxide nanoparticles may present a new, profitable, and economical method of controlling chicken coccidiosis, thus by changing established treatment approaches and improving the health and production of chickens. Thus, the objective of this review is to discuss about economic burden of avian coccidiosis, zinc, zinc oxide, iron, iron oxide, copper, copper oxide, silver nanoparticles use in the treatment of coccidiosis, their benefits, and toxicity.

Alternative Fine Aggregates to Natural River Sand for Manufactured Concrete Ensuring Circular Economy

To address SDG12 (ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns), and to provide technical evidence for alternative concrete constituents to traditional natural river sand, stone fine aggregate (SFA), brick fine aggregate (BFA), ladle-refined furnace slag aggregate (LFS), recycled brick fine aggregate (RBFA), and washed waste fine aggregate (WWF), ready-mix concrete plants were investigated. Concrete and mortar specimens were made with different variables, such as replacement volume of natural sand with different alternative fine aggregates, water-to-cement ratio (W/C), and sand-to-aggregate volume ratio (s/a). The concrete and mortar specimens were tested for workability, compressive strength, tensile strength, and Young’s modulus (for concrete) at 7, 28, and 90 days. The experimental results show that the compressive strength of concrete increases when natural sand is replaced with BFA, SFA, and LFS. The optimum replacement amounts are 30%, 30%, and 20% for BFA, SFA, and LFS, respectively. For RBFA, the compressive strength of concrete is increased even at 100% replacement of natural sand by RBFA. For WWF, the compressive strength of concrete increases up to a replacement of 20%. Utilizing these alternative fine aggregates can be utilized to ensure a circular economy in construction industries and reduce the consumption of around 30% of natural river sand.

Towards digitalization of the circular economy in the furniture industry

Fashionable, cheap furniture of questionable quality is often used for short-term economic gain. If the furniture is not liked, it is quickly discarded. The need to reduce CO2 emissions, dwindling resources and social and political demands contradict this practice and require the implementation of closed-loops material cycles and the introduction of circular business models. A systematic literature review and a case study were conducted to provide a comprehensive overview of current circular economy strategies (e.g. reuse, refurbishment and recycling) implemented in the furniture industry in relation to various key activities of platform companies. As part of the case study, interviews were conducted with stakeholders and experts from the furniture and interior design industry. The European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform was also consulted. The literature review and the case study show that the furniture industry is in a state of transition. By incorporating designs that allow for improved remanufacturing, refurbishment and reuse, companies in the industry are increasingly starting to consider circular economy patterns. Increasing digitization and servitization are driving new circular business models. Another key finding is that digital platforms are suitable for connecting stakeholders such as manufacturers, service providers and consumers, taking into account the relevant business models. The study also identified motivations, barriers and requirements for the implementation of circular and digital business models in the furniture and interior design industry. There is still a large gap between what can be achieved with a circular economy and its actual implementation.

Digital economy and green transformation of regional industries: New insights from sustainability.

Studying the impact of the digital economy on carbon emissions in the distribution industry is of great significance for realizing sustainable development goals and coping with climate change. This study finds that increasing the level of digital economy development can reduce the carbon emission intensity of the circulation industry through fixed-effects modeling. Moreover, the effect is different in different geographic regions, and the improvement of the digital economy development level in the east and central regions can significantly reduce the carbon emission intensity of the distribution industry. The digital economy can simultaneously reduce the carbon emission intensity of the circulation industry by reducing the degree of labor factor mismatch in the circulation industry and improving the regional green innovation capacity. Therefore, in order to promote the green development of the distribution industry, it is also necessary to make efforts to improve the construction of network infrastructure, accelerate the process of research and development and cultivation of green technology, and break down the barriers of cross-regional mobility of talents.

Стратегические перспективы развития отрасли цветных металлов: проблемы и задачи отечественных производителей

The non-ferrous metallurgy industry in Russia is undergoing profound changes due to geopolitical shifts, the transition to green energy, and the need to develop processing industries. Non-ferrous metals, as strategically important products, can play a decisive role in achieving the global goals of the Russian economy related to economic security, the development of domestic markets, the reconstruction of high-tech industries, the modernization of stably functioning industries, and the improvement of the quality of life for the population. The purpose of this research is to study the trends and risks affecting non-ferrous metal producers and to assess the opportunities and challenges for developing both external and domestic markets, ultimately aiming to ensure sustainable demand for the products of mining companies and metal producers. The primary research methods used include general scientific approaches such as comparative analysis, synthesis, and decomposition. This paper reviews the current state of Russia's non-ferrous metallurgy sector and explores its development prospects, with a specific focus on Norilsk Nickel, a key player operating in the Arctic. The main results of the study include an assessment of the current global market for non-ferrous metals, their role in the energy transition, and the formation of a low-carbon economy. The study also analyzes and summarizes the challenges facing domestic non-ferrous metallurgy and suggests potential directions for its development in the current economic context. A critical analysis of the Strategy for the Development of the Metallurgical Industry of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2030 reveals that several important aspects and issues are not adequately addressed in the document. For example, it lacks a strategic planning methodology and fails to consider the specific characteristics and potential of the Arctic’s non-ferrous mineral resource base. The practical significance of this study lies in clarifying the prospects for utilizing non-ferrous metals to support the revitalization of high-tech industries in the national economy.
