In-depth exploration of the genomic diversity in tea varieties based on a newly constructed pangenome of Camellia sinensis.

Tea, one of the most widely consumed beverages globally, exhibits remarkable genomic diversity in its underlying flavour and health-related compounds. In this study, we present the construction and analysis of a tea pangenome comprising a total of 11 genomes, with a focus on three newly sequenced genomes comprising the purple-leaved assamica cultivar "Zijuan", the temperature-sensitive sinensis cultivar "Anjibaicha" and the wild accession "L618" whose assemblies exhibited excellent quality scores as they profited from latest sequencing technologies. Our analysis incorporates a detailed investigation of transposon complement across the tea pangenome, revealing shared patterns of transposon distribution among the studied genomes and improved transposon resolution with long read technologies, as shown by long terminal repeat (LTR) Assembly Index analysis. Furthermore, our study encompasses a gene-centric exploration of the pangenome, exploring the genomic landscape of the catechin pathway with our study, providing insights on copy number alterations and gene-centric variants, especially for Anthocyanidin synthases. We constructed a gene-centric pangenome by structurally and functionally annotating all available genomes using an identical pipeline, which both increased gene completeness and allowed for a high functional annotation rate. This improved and consistently annotated gene set will allow for a better comparison between tea genomes. We used this improved pangenome to capture the core and dispensable gene repertoire, elucidating the functional diversity present within the tea species. This pangenome resource might serve as a valuable resource for understanding the fundamental genetic basis of traits such as flavour, stress tolerance, and disease resistance, with implications for tea breeding programmes.

A cross-sectional questionnaire study: Impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia remains prevalent in adults with type 1 diabetes and is associated with the risk of severe hypoglycaemia.

Impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH) is a risk factor for severe hypoglycaemia (SH) in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Much of the IAH prevalence data comes from older studies where participants did not have the benefit of the latest insulins and technologies. This study surveyed the prevalence of IAH and SH in a tertiary adult clinic population and investigated the associated factors. Adults (≥18 years) attending a tertiary T1D clinic completed a questionnaire, including a Gold and Clarke score. Background information was collected from health records. 189 people (56.1% female) with T1D (median [IQR] disease duration 19.3 [11.5, 29.1] years and age of 41.0 [29.0, 52.0] years) participated. 17.5% had IAH and 16.0% reported ≥1 episode of SH in the previous 12 months. Those with IAH were more likely to report SH (37.5% versus 11.7%, p = 0.001) a greater number of SH episodes per person (median [IQR] 0 [0,2] versus 0 [0,0] P<0.001) and be female (72.7% versus 52.6%, p = 0.036). Socio-economic deprivation was associated with IAH (p = 0.032) and SH (p = 0.005). Use of technology was the same between IAH vs aware groups, however, participants reporting SH were more likely to use multiple daily injections (p = 0.026). Higher detectable C-peptide concentrations were associated with a reduced risk of SH (p = 0.04). Insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor use was comparable in IAH versus aware groups. Despite this, IAH remains a risk factor for SH and is prevalent in females and in older people. Socioeconomic deprivation was associated with IAH and SH, making this an important population to target for interventions.

Estimation of flea beetle damage in the field using a multistage deep learning-based solution

Estimation of damage in plants is a key issue for crop protection. Currently, experts in the field manually assess the plots. This is a time-consuming task that can be automated thanks to the latest technology in computer vision (CV). The use of image-based systems and recently deep learning-based systems have provided good results in several agricultural applications. These image-based applications outperform expert evaluation in controlled environments, and now they are being progressively included in non-controlled field applications.A novel solution based on deep learning techniques in combination with image processing methods is proposed to tackle the estimate of plant damage in the field. The proposed solution is a two-stage algorithm. In a first stage, the single plants in the plots are detected by an object detection YOLO based model. Then a regression model is applied to estimate the damage of each individual plant. The solution has been developed and validated in oilseed rape plants to estimate the damage caused by flea beetle.The crop detection model achieves a mean precision average of 91% with a mAP@0.50 of 0.99 and a mAP@0.95 of 0.91 for oilseed rape specifically. The regression model to estimate up to 60% of damage degree in single plants achieves a MAE of 7.11, and R2 of 0.46 in comparison with manual evaluations done plant by plant by experts. Models are deployed in a docker, and with a REST API communication protocol they can be inferred directly for images acquired in the field from a mobile device.

Напрямки подолання наслідків впливу пандемії COVID-19 на м’які навички кадрового потенціалу України

The purpose of the work is to develop a single comprehensive system that will helpto overcome the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the soft skills of the personnel potential of Ukraine. In order to determine the main methods of overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic consequences, a survey of random respondents was conducted. In addition, the purpose of the survey was to assess respondents’ own soft skills during the pandemic and their changes before and after it. The article used the historical method, methods of abstraction, forecasting and analysis. The method of systematization became one of the main ones in achieving the goals and objectives of the research. Thus, we were able to systematize the research results, assess the possibilities for developing a mechanism for overcoming the consequences of the COVID-19 crisis, and form them in a single system. It has been established that the COVID-19 pandemic has a direct impact on the soft skills of personnel potential in Ukraine. People learned how to adapt to new working conditions, how to communicate in an unfamiliar mode, thereby acquiring new skills. The concepts of self-motivation, stability, and adaptability have become more important. The survey conducted in this study confirmed the importance of all these components. The authors of the article propose several strategies for coping with the consequences of the pandemic. The first is independent continuous development and improvement of skills. It can be online training, participation in events, etc. It is also important to provide employees with online tools for collaboration so that employees feel comfortable using the latest technologies. Providing employees with flexible working conditions is also an important aspect, as this will allow them to learn and develop more willingly and effectively. A favorable working environment will help maintain psychological health. Employers can offer employee assistance programs, counseling services, and more. These approaches can significantly increase the effectiveness of the functioning of employees and improve the development of soft skills in the conditions of any crisis. The research is valuable for economic science and has practical significance. The article reveals an understanding of how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the soft skills of employees, their ability to solve problems, make decisions, communicate, etc. This is how we can formulate people’s ideas about how to improve their skills, how to learn to solve problems that arose during the pandemic. An effective mechanism for overcoming the consequences of the pandemic on the soft skills of human resources (both private and public sectors) is becoming an urgent task for companies, government structures and educational institutions, and therefore important for analysis and research in academic circles. The research is very relevant in modern conditions, as the ability to overcome a crisis is important not only during a pandemic, but also in connection with other factors, in particular, with the beginning of a war and its impact on people’s lives.
