Recent changes in ENSO’s impacts on the summertime circumglobal teleconnection and mid-latitude extremes by Shankai Tang, Shaobo Qiao, Bin Wang, Fei Liu, Xian Zhu, Taichen Feng, Guolin Feng, Wenjie Dong

“…Here, we show that the CGT’s circulation structure has been displaced westward by half a wavelength since the late 1970s, more severely impacting heatwaves and droughts over East Europe, East Asia, and southwestern North America. We present empirical and modelling evidence of the essential role of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in shaping this change. …”

The role of Beringia in human adaptation to Arctic conditions based on results of genomic studies of modern and ancient populations by B. A. Malyarchuk

“…The results of a paleogenomic analysis also show that during the last glacial maximum Beringia was populated by human groups that had arisen as a result of interaction between the most ancient Upper Paleolithic populations of Northern Eurasia and newcomer groups from East Asia. Approximately 20 thousand years ago the Beringian populations began to form, and the duration of their existence in relative isolation is estimated at about 5 thousand years. …”

Development and Assessment of the Sand Dust Prediction Model by Utilizing Microwave-Based Satellite Soil Moisture and Reanalysis Datasets in East Asian Desert Areas by Hyunglok Kim, Muhammad Zohaib, Eunsang Cho, Yann H. Kerr, Minha Choi

“…We have first developed a modeled aerosol optical depth (AOD) dataset by utilizing Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS), Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2), and the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) soil moisture datasets in order to estimate dust outbreaks over desert areas of East Asia. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer- (MODIS-) based AOD products were used as reference datasets to validate the modeled AOD (MA). …”

Debates on the Role of the U.S. Theater Missile Defense in the Regional Deterrence of North Korea and Iran by O. O. Krivolapov

“…All this time, there has been an ongoing debate among American politicians, strategists, and academic experts on the prospects and specifics of the regional missile defense architectures, levels of U.S. allies’ participation in their development, as well as the very need to deploy these systems in North-East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. The paper attempts to summarize and analyze the arguments of both the proponents and opponents of the idea to use the regional missile defense systems in the regional deterrence of North Korea and Iran.The first section examines approaches of different U.S. administrations to this issue. …”

Distribution of the arctic variant of the CPT1A gene in indigenous populations of Siberia by B. A. Malyarchuk, M. V. Derenko, G. A. Denisova, A. N. Litvinov

“…Population screening of the Arctic variant, which has arisen due to the G > A mutation at locus rs80356779 in the CPT1A gene, has been performed for the first time among indigenous peoples of Siberia (Chukchi, Koryaks, Evens, Evenks, Yakuts, Buryats and Altaians) and East Asia (Koreans). It is assumed that CPT1A Arctic variant originated from Eskimo ancestors, probably as a result of adaptation to a high-fat diet and/or to the extremely cold environment. …”

A study of the genetic diversity in the world soybean collection using microsatellite markers associated with fungal disease resistance by A. K. Zatybekov, Y. T. Turuspekov, B. N. Doszhanova, S. I. Abugalieva

“…The principal coordinate analysis suggested that the local accessions were genetically most close to the accessions from East Asia. As the collection showed a robust resistance to three studied fungal diseases in Almaty Region during 2018–2019, the distribution of the studied SSR markers in the population was not significantly associated with resistance to the analyzed diseases under field conditions.Conclusion. …”

Global trends and age-specific incidence and mortality of cervical cancer from 1990 to 2019: an international comparative study based on the Global Burden of Disease by Juan Du, Han Xiao, Meng Yang, Hong Mei, Hui Lu, Feiyan Xiang

“…Although the ASIR and ASMR have declined overall from 1990 to 2019, an increasing or stable trend was also observed in East Asia and Southern sub-Saharan Africa. Particularly, we found that the age-specific AAPC of incidence showed an increasing trend in the age group of 15–49 years globally, and the high Sociodemographic Index region increased the most.Conclusions Cervical cancer remains a concerning disease that affects women all over the world, although the ASIR and ASMR are decreasing. …”

Mathematical models of Plasmodium vivax transmission: A scoping review. by Md Nurul Anwar, Lauren Smith, Angela Devine, Somya Mehra, Camelia R Walker, Elizabeth Ivory, Eamon Conway, Ivo Mueller, James M McCaw, Jennifer A Flegg, Roslyn I Hickson

“…Plasmodium vivax is one of the most geographically widespread malaria parasites in the world, primarily found across South-East Asia, Latin America, and parts of Africa. One of the significant characteristics of the P. vivax parasite is its ability to remain dormant in the human liver as hypnozoites and subsequently reactivate after the initial infection (i.e. relapse infections). …”

Advances in the Research on Brown Carbon Aerosols: Its Concentrations, Radiative Forcing, and Effects on Climate by Shuai Li, Hua Zhang, Zhili Wang, Yonghang Chen

“…Recent research suggests that: (1) Climate effects of aerosols can be represented more accurately when including BrC absorption in climate models; the regions with the highest global mean surface BrC concentrations estimated by models are mostly Southeast Asia and South America (biomass burning), East Asia and northeast India (biofuel burning), and Europe and North America (secondary sources); estimates of BrC radiative forcing are quite erratic, with a range of around 0.03–0.57 W m−2. (2) BrC heating lead to tropical expansion and a reduction in deep convective mass fluxes in the upper troposphere; cloud fraction and cloud type have a substantial impact on the heating rate estimates of BrC. …”
