The study aimed to assess the acute toxicity and anti-diabetic activity of Halimeda gracilis (green marine alga). The Halimeda gracilis were collected from the coastal area of the Gulf of Mannar biosphere reserve and shade dried. Methanolic extract of Halimeda gracilis (MEHG) was prepared and it was screened for acute toxicity and anti-diabetic activity in the Zebrafish model. In the Acute toxicity study, the Zebrafishes were grouped into 6 groups and dosed with 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100mg/L of MEHG and observed at 0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours' intervals. For anti-diabetic activity analysis diabetes was induced using streptozotocin (STZ). The Zebrafish were divided into six groups-control group, positive control, diabetic Zebrafish with three doses of MEHG, and standard control (treated with metformin). Acute toxicity study showed no significant behavioral changes and LC 50 was determined as 100mg/L. In the diabetic study, test groups when compared to the control group showed: a significant reduction in both fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels and significant changes in the regeneration of pancreatic â-cells, and reduced vacuolization in the islets of Langerhans. Images of the regenerating caudal fins taken at 24, 48 and 72-hours post-amputation displayed significant limb regeneration in MEHG treated fish compared to the control group. These results prove that MEHG in STZ-induced diabetic Zebrafish possess potent anti-diabetic action by ameliorating blood glucose regulation, promoting pancreatic cell regeneration, minimizing long-term diabetic complications by preventing the emergence of metabolic memory but no behavioral changes.

I commend the authors for their interest in this relevant and singular feature (westerlies!) within the low-level atmospheric circulation over the tropical far eastern Pacific. In particular, I find it very relevant their objective of tracking the Choco jet since the 19th Century using historical wind observations, by introducing and computing the so-called CHOCO-D index. That said, I think that the manuscript is far from being ready for publication in Earth Syst. Dynam., and that major and minor comments need to be dealt with in detail in the revised version.

The research objective is to analyze the effect of work design, organizational culture and work motivation on the performance of village officials; analyze the effect of work design and organizational culture on work motivation; analyze the effect of work design on the performance of village apparatus through work motivation; analyze the effect of organizational culture on the performance of village apparatus through work motivation. The population of this study were all village officials in the Wirosari District, Grobogan Regency, with BUMDES management activities not running, namely 63 village officials from a number of 9 villages. The sampling technique uses a saturated sample. Therefore, the number of samples taken was also 63 village officials. Data analysis techniques using smartpls. The results of the study found that all hypotheses had a positive and significant direct effect, except for work design on facilitator performance. In the mediation hypothesis, work motivation is able to mediate the influence of work design and the performance of village apparatus, but is unable to mediate the influence of organizational culture and the performance of village apparatus.

This issue, which brings together prestigious contributors from several different continents, pursues the evolution that got underway in the previous issue. In particular, we will now be bringing out three issues per year -April / May, August / September, and late December -with each issue including six or seven texts. This format will allow for greater modularity in the treatment of the themes, and a more flexible reflection of research projects in psychoanalysis in progress.

Abiotic stress is a primary factor limiting crop productivity world-wide. Understanding the complex regulatory mechanisms that mediate the responses of plants to stressful conditions is necessary if we are to use these systems to optimize stress tolerance and increase crop productivity. We have begun to characterize the functions of a group of genes that encode zinc-finger containing proteins with sequence similarity to mammalian ubiquitin ligases. Expression of these genes in strongly activated in response to abscisic acid and exposure to stressful conditions. Functional analysis of the function of these genes in the model plant Arabidopsis indicates that they up-regulate stress responsive gene expression pathways, which leads to substantial increases in tolerance to abiotic stresses including water deficit. The effectiveness of these genes in promoting stress tolerance is now being tested in transgenic lines of cotton and other crop species.

NCDs are, for example, cancer, heart diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes. These are statistically shown to be the leading cause of death in the world. By 'attacking' these, the assumption is that by better managing these conditions, the risk from COVID-19 will be reduced. pandemic; an empirical calculus of the threat of infection, illness and death for individuals. But these analyses ignore an even wider context -the politics of life -espoused through reactions to the accentuated assemblage of threats. The dissemination of scientific expertise, but also questioning thereof, brought fundamental aspects of biopolitics to the surface and made them visible in the old, renewed and innovative responses to what became known as 'the pandemic'. The contributions in this special issue draw attention to this wider biopolitical context and show how much more than just the virus was implicated during and after the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic, (or syndemic), has attracted rich debate on how life could and should be best ordered and vitalized in practice -'managing the virus is about managing people' 5 and interspecies relations. It is also a debate that has renewed theoretical interest in Foucauldian biopolitics, reaching scholars who were previously unfamiliar with the biologization of life and its changing historical expressions. Similar to previous cases of epidemic and pandemic threats, knowledge about the outbreak in 2020 mainly targeted human connectivity conceived as a matter of life and death. And when threats in any form rapidly flow through the population, so does the quest for new knowledge coupled with innovative ways of governing oneself and others. Depending on geographical positions and epidemiological preferences, the regulation of life via science, statistics and responsibility did, with COVID-19, not only diffuse logistically, motivated by biological longevity with racist implications, 6 but also opened up for ideas of future bodies and an expanded administration of life on a planetary scale. If the 'right to health' 7 originally demanded biopolitical intervention in the form of novel technologies of power that were flexible, economical and alluring enough, responses to COVID-19 have been suggested to permeate both discipline and sovereignty to remould and enforce them anew. 8 In India, for example, the government response often sought to victimize the poor, 9 and migrant workers became the necessary casualties in the effort to portray the impression of quick and 'strong' leadership. The migrants were forced to walk back home, to a domestic sphere, often hundreds of miles, going unfed and untreated during the hurriedly imposed lockdown. 10 Some of them were killed by heavy vehicles while walking, and how many 5
