Unfavorable weather and soil conditions reduce rice yield and land and water productivity, aggravating existing encounters of poverty and food insecurity. These conditions are foreseen to worsen with climate change and with the unceasing irrational human practices that progressively debilitate productivity despite global appeals for more food. Our understanding of plant responses to abiotic stresses is advancing and is complex, involving numerous critical processes - each controlled by several genetic factors. Knowledge of the physiological and molecular mechanisms involved in signaling, response and adaptation, and in some cases the genes involved, is advancing. Moreover, the genetic diversity being unveiled within cultivated rice and its wild relatives is providing ample resources for trait and gene discovery, and this is being scouted for rice improvement using modern genomics and molecular tools. Development of stress tolerant varieties is now being fast-tracked through the use of DNA markers and advanced breeding strategies. Large numbers of drought, submergence and salt tolerant varieties were commercialized over recent years in South and Southeast Asia and more recently in Africa. These varieties are making significant changes in less favorable areas, transforming lives of smallholder farmers - progress considered incredulous in the past. The stress tolerant varieties are providing assurance to farmers to invest in better management of their crops and the ability to adjust their cropping systems for even higher productivity and more income, sparking changes analogous to that of the first green revolution, which previously benefited only favorable irrigated and rainfed areas. New breeding tools using markers for multiple stresses made it possible to develop more resilient, higher yielding varieties to replace the aging and obsolete varieties still dominating these areas. Varieties with multiple stress tolerances are now becoming available, providing even better security for farmers and lessening their production risks even in areas affected by complex and overlapping stresses. The progress made in these less favorable areas triggered numerous favorable changes at the national and regional levels in several countries in Asia, including adjusting breeding and dissemination strategies to accelerate outreach and enabling changes at higher policy levels, creating a positive environment for faster progress. Exploiting the potential of these less productive areas for food production is inevitable, to meet the escalating global needs for more food and sustained production systems, at times when national resources are shrinking while demand for food is mounting. However, the success in these areas requires concerted efforts to make use of existing genetic resources for crop improvement and establishing effective evaluation networks, seed production systems, and seed delivery systems to ensure faster outreach and transformation.

The results of this study can be used as basic data for further studies in this field. Method: Data on 1,361 male construction workers from the 5th Korea Working Condition Survey (KWCS) were used for this study. The effects of working conditions were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 and the mediating effects of health and safety information were analyzed with SPSS PROCESS macro using the bootstrap method. Results: The safety and health management system and the self-determination of break time had a statistically significant positive effect on satisfaction with the working environment. Chemical and ergonomic risk factors had a statistically significant negative effect on satisfaction with the working environment. The provision of safety and health information, the mediating variable, had a statistically significant positive effect on satisfaction with the working environment. Therefore, it had a mediating effect between working conditions and satisfaction with the working environment. Conclusion: In order to enhance construction workers' satisfaction with their working environment, the above results suggest that the safety and health management system should be well established; self-determination of break times should be guaranteed; and chemical and ergonomic risk factors should be controlled. In addition, workers should be provided with necessary health and safety information related to their work. This study will be useful if these findings are used as basic data in further studies in related fields.

The article discusses the features of adaptation of the parameters of the physical layer of data transmission in self-organizing networks based on unmanned aerial vehicles operating in the conditions of "smart cities". The concept of cities of this type is defined, the historical path of formation, the current state and prospects for further development in the aspect of transition to "smart cities" of the third generation are shown. Cities of this type are aimed at providing more comfortable and safe living conditions for citizens and autonomous automated work of all components of the urban economy. The perspective of the development of urban mobile automated technical means of infocommunications is shown, one of the leading directions of which is the creation and active use of wireless self-organizing networks based on unmanned aerial vehicles. The advantages of using small-sized unmanned aerial vehicles for organizing networks of this type are considered, as well as the range of tasks to be solved in the conditions of modern "smart cities". It is shown that for the transition to self-organizing networks in the conditions of "smart cities" of the third generation, it is necessary to ensure the adaptation of various levels of OSI network models to dynamically changing operating conditions, which is especially important for the physical layer. To maintain an acceptable level of the value of the bit error probability when transmitting command and telemetry data, it is proposed to adaptively change the coding rate depending on the signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver input (or on the number of channel decoder errors), and when transmitting payload data, it is also proposed to adaptively change the coding rate together with the choice of modulation methods that differ in energy and spectral efficiency. As options for the practical implementation of these solutions, it is proposed to use an approach based on the principles of neuro-fuzzy control, for which examples of determining the boundaries of theoretically achievable efficiency are given.

High production and efficient harvesting of microalgae containing high omega-3 levels are critical concerns for industrial use. Aeration can elevate production of some microalgae by providing CO₂ and O₂. However, it may lower the production of others by generating shear stress, causing severe cell damage. The mixotrophic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium smaydae is a new, promising microalga for omega-3 fatty acid production owing to its high docosahexaenoic acid content, and determining optimal conditions and methods for high omega-3 fatty acid production and efficient harvest using G. smaydae is crucial for its commercial utilization. Therefore, to determine whether continuous aeration is required, we measured densities of G. smaydae and the dinoflagellate prey Heterocapsa rotundata in a 100-L semi-continuous cultivation system under no aeration and continuous aeration conditions daily for 9 days. Furthermore, to determine the optimal conditions for harvesting through centrifugation, different rotational speeds of the continuous centrifuge and different flow rates of the pump injecting G. smaydae + H. rotundata cells into the centrifuge were tested. Under continuous aeration, G. smaydae production gradually decreased; however, without aeration, the production remained stable. Harvesting efficiency and the dry weights of omega-3 fatty acids of G. smaydae + H. rotundata cells at a rotational speed of 16,000 rpm were significantly higher than those at 2,000-8,000 rpm. However, these parameters did not significantly differ at injection pump flow rates of 1.0-4.0 L min^-1. The results of the present study provide a basis for optimized production and harvest conditions for G. smaydae and other microalgae.

This study introduces a novel analytical method for the assessment of pralsetinib impurities and degradation products (DPs), addressing critical gaps in existing methodologies. This research aims to develop a robust HPLC method for impurity analysis, characterize degradation products using LC-MS, and evaluate the environmental impact of the method. The study began by optimizing HPLC conditions with various columns and buffers, ultimately achieving successful separation using an XBridge^® RP-C18 column with ethanol as solvent A and 50 mM formic acid at pH 2.9. This setup provided excellent peak resolution and symmetry, essential for reliable stability studies. The developed HPLC method was then adapted for HPLC-MS/MS, enhancing sensitivity and detection efficiency of DPs. Stress degradation studies of pralsetinib under different conditions (acidic, basic, oxidative, thermal, and photolytic) revealed significant degradation under acidic (29.3 %) and basic (21.5 %) conditions, with several DPs identified. Oxidative stress resulted in 19.8 % degradation, while thermal and photolytic conditions caused minimal degradation. HPLC-MS/MS analysis identified structures of five degradation products, providing detailed insights into pralsetinib's stability and degradation pathways. Method validation followed ICH guidelines Q2(R1), confirming method's specificity, selectivity, sensitivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, and robustness. The method exhibited strong linearity with a coefficient of determination (r²) greater than 0.999 for pralsetinib and its impurities. This method advances impurity detection and DPs characterization, ensuring the quality and safety of pralsetinib. Additionally, method's environmental impact was assessed, aligning with sustainable analytical practices. These findings provide essential data on pralsetinib's stability, guiding storage conditions and ensuring its efficacy and safety in pharmaceutical applications.

도로전광표지(VMS: Variable Message Signs)는 지능형교통체계(ITS: Intelligent Transport Systems)를 구성하는 주요 서브시스템 중의 하나로서, 불특정 다수를 대상으로 실시간 교통소통 및 돌발상황 정보를 제공해 주는 유용한 기능을 수행한다. VMS에서 표출되는 교통정보는 운전자가 보다 쉽게 이해하고, 눈에 잘 띄고, 적정거리 내에서 판독하기 쉬워야 하는 조건을 만족 시켜야 한다. VMS 판독거리 (Legibility Distance)는 운전자가 VMS 메시지의 문자를 읽기 시작할 수 있는 지점에서 해당 VMS의 설치지점간의 거리를 의미하는데, 도로 및 교통여건, 운전자 특성 등을 고려한 적정 판독거리의 산정은 차량의 주행속도, VMS 메시지 정보량 등과 함께 효과적인 VMS 메시지의 설계 및 운영을 위한 필수조건이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 실제 도로교통환경에 노출된 운전자의 작업부하를 고려한 보다 현실적인 판독거리 추정모형을 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위해 서울시 도시고속도로, 영동 및 경부고속도로에 설치된 27개 VMS에 대한 운전자의 판독거리, VMS 메시지 특성, 운전자 특성, 도로기하구조 및 교통특성 등의 자료를 수집하고 분석하였다. 실제 주행환경에서 운전자의 판독위치 수집을 위해서는 DGPS(Differential Global Positioning System)장비를 이용하였다. 본 연구의 결과물인 판독거리 모형은 VMS 메시지 설계 및 운영을 위한 기본도구로서 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

부산광역시는 2007년부터 시내버스 준공영제를 시행하고 있으며 급격히 증가하고 있는 재정지원금이 큰 문제로 대두되었다. 현재 부산시의 재정 상태를 감안한 경우 시내버스 준공영제의 성공 여부는 매년 투입되어야 하는 재정지원금을 연차적으로 감소시켜 나가야 하는 부분이다. 부산시 재정부담을 완화하기 위해서는 시내버스 이용을 보다 편리하게 하여 버스 이용객의 수요를 지속적으로 증가시켜야 할 것이다. 교통수요에 영향을 미치는 기상조건을 살펴보면 눈, 안개, 비 등이 있으며 이러한 기상조건은 통행자들의 수단선택에 영향을 미쳐 결과적으로 버스 이용의 감소를 가져온다. 그리하여 기상 악화시 이용률 저하는 수익금 감소로 이어지게 되어 부산시의 막대한 공공재정 부담으로 돌아오게 된다. 본 연구에서는 기상 상태에 따른 교통수단간 수송 분담률을 파악하여 기상 악화시 버스 승객이 타 교통수단으로 전환하는 패턴을 분석하고 설문조사를 통해 타 수단으로 전환하는 이유를 분석함으로써 향후 대중교통시설 및 환승체계 구축 등 버스정책 수립에 필요한 정책적 시사점을 도출하는데 목적이 있다.
