    Serendipita indica (former Piriformospora indica) is a non-obligate endophytic fungus and generally a plant growth and defence promoter with high potential to be used in agriculture. However, S. indica may switch from biotrophy to saprotrophy losing its plant growth promoting traits. Our aim was to understand if the free-living stage growth conditions (namely C availability) regulate S. indica’s phenotype, and its potential as plant-growth-promoting-microbe (PGPM). We grew S. indica in its free-living stage under increasing C availabilities (2–20 g L–1 of glucose or sucrose). We first characterised the effect of C availability during free-living stage growth on fungal phenotype: colonies growth and physiology (plasma membrane proton pumps, stable isotopic signatures, and potential extracellular decomposing enzymes). The effect of the C availability during the free-living stage of the PGPM was evaluated on wheat. We observed that C availability during the free-living stage regulated S. indica’s growth, ultrastructure and physiology, resulting in two distinct colony phenotypes: compact and explorer. The compact phenotype developed at low C, used peptone as the major C and N source, and displayed higher decomposing potential for C providing substrates; while the explorer phenotype developed at high C, used glucose and sucrose as major C sources and casein and yeast extract as major N sources, and displayed higher decomposing potential for N and P providing substrates. The C availability, or the C/N ratio, during the free-living stage left a legacy to the symbiosis stage, regulating S. indica’s potential to promote plant growth: wheat growth promotion by the explorer phenotype was ± 40% higher than that by the compact phenotype. Our study highlights the importance of considering microbial ecology in designing PGPM/biofertilizers. Further studies are needed to test the phenotypes under more extreme conditions, and to understand if the in vitro acquired characteristics persist under field conditions.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Introduction: Health professionals are constantly dealing with death and difficult decisions that can affect their physical and mental well-being. Burnout Syndrome (BS) is a psychosocial illness that appears as a response to chronic interpersonal stressors related to the work environment. The COVID-19 pandemic has therefore brought new challenges, especially in the health sector, causing burnout among health professionals and culminating in an increase in BS in this group. Objective: To identify and evaluate the prevalence and risk factors for Burnout Syndrome in nursing technicians in the state of Sergipe working during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional, quantitative study of 150 nursing technicians and assistants working with COVID-19 patients in Sergipe (2021-2022), carried out via Google Forms, using the Informed Consent Form (ICF). A sociodemographic and professional profile was assessed, and the Lipp Inventory of Stress Symptoms for Adults (ISSL) was applied. A chi-square or Fisher's exact test was used, with the effect size based on the odds ratio (OR). Approved by the Research Ethics Committee under protocol number 4.578.896. Results: Regarding the risk of burnout, the prevalence was low (44.7%), followed by moderate (36.7%) and severe (18.7%). The variables analyzed that were most associated with Burnout Syndrome in nursing technicians and assistants were : age group (p=0.03), the association between feeling anxious or not when working with COVID-19 patients (p<0.001), with anxiety increasing the chances of having a moderate risk of burnout by 2.46 times (95%CI=1.16; 5.25) and the chances of having a high risk by 4.62 times (95%CI=1.80; 11.87), impaired sleep quality (p=0.06), with a 2.16 times (95%CI=1.01; 4.64) of being at moderate risk of burnout, professionals who had experienced some family conflict were 4 times (95%CI=1.56; 10.23) more likely to be at high risk of burnout compared to those who had not experienced any conflict, professionals who had experienced some conflict with the team were 4.62 times (95%CI=1.80; 11.87) more likely to be at high risk and 3.34 times (95%CI=1.53; 7.30) more likely to be at moderate risk of burnout. Conclusion: All levels of burnout risk were found among nursing technicians and assistants, most of whom were at low risk, followed by moderate and severe risk, with a significant association with age, having had family and team conflicts, loss of sleep and feeling anxious when working during the pandemic.Introdução: Os profissionais de saĂșde lidam a todo o tempo com a morte e com as decisĂ”es difĂ­ceis que podem afetar seu bem estar fĂ­sico e mental.

    Measurement of the cosmic ray spectrum above 4×10184{\times}10^{18} eV using inclined events detected with the Pierre Auger Observatory

    Full text link
    A measurement of the cosmic-ray spectrum for energies exceeding 4×10184{\times}10^{18} eV is presented, which is based on the analysis of showers with zenith angles greater than 60∘60^{\circ} detected with the Pierre Auger Observatory between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2013. The measured spectrum confirms a flux suppression at the highest energies. Above 5.3×10185.3{\times}10^{18} eV, the "ankle", the flux can be described by a power law E−γE^{-\gamma} with index Îł=2.70±0.02 (stat)±0.1 (sys)\gamma=2.70 \pm 0.02 \,\text{(stat)} \pm 0.1\,\text{(sys)} followed by a smooth suppression region. For the energy (EsE_\text{s}) at which the spectral flux has fallen to one-half of its extrapolated value in the absence of suppression, we find Es=(5.12±0.25 (stat)−1.2+1.0 (sys))×1019E_\text{s}=(5.12\pm0.25\,\text{(stat)}^{+1.0}_{-1.2}\,\text{(sys)}){\times}10^{19} eV.Comment: Replaced with published version.

    Energy Estimation of Cosmic Rays with the Engineering Radio Array of the Pierre Auger Observatory

    Full text link
    The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) is part of the Pierre Auger Observatory and is used to detect the radio emission of cosmic-ray air showers. These observations are compared to the data of the surface detector stations of the Observatory, which provide well-calibrated information on the cosmic-ray energies and arrival directions. The response of the radio stations in the 30 to 80 MHz regime has been thoroughly calibrated to enable the reconstruction of the incoming electric field. For the latter, the energy deposit per area is determined from the radio pulses at each observer position and is interpolated using a two-dimensional function that takes into account signal asymmetries due to interference between the geomagnetic and charge-excess emission components. The spatial integral over the signal distribution gives a direct measurement of the energy transferred from the primary cosmic ray into radio emission in the AERA frequency range. We measure 15.8 MeV of radiation energy for a 1 EeV air shower arriving perpendicularly to the geomagnetic field. This radiation energy -- corrected for geometrical effects -- is used as a cosmic-ray energy estimator. Performing an absolute energy calibration against the surface-detector information, we observe that this radio-energy estimator scales quadratically with the cosmic-ray energy as expected for coherent emission. We find an energy resolution of the radio reconstruction of 22% for the data set and 17% for a high-quality subset containing only events with at least five radio stations with signal.Comment: Replaced with published version.

    Measurement of the Radiation Energy in the Radio Signal of Extensive Air Showers as a Universal Estimator of Cosmic-Ray Energy

    Full text link
    We measure the energy emitted by extensive air showers in the form of radio emission in the frequency range from 30 to 80 MHz. Exploiting the accurate energy scale of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we obtain a radiation energy of 15.8 \pm 0.7 (stat) \pm 6.7 (sys) MeV for cosmic rays with an energy of 1 EeV arriving perpendicularly to a geomagnetic field of 0.24 G, scaling quadratically with the cosmic-ray energy. A comparison with predictions from state-of-the-art first-principle calculations shows agreement with our measurement. The radiation energy provides direct access to the calorimetric energy in the electromagnetic cascade of extensive air showers. Comparison with our result thus allows the direct calibration of any cosmic-ray radio detector against the well-established energy scale of the Pierre Auger Observatory.Comment: Replaced with published version.
