There were two separate methods of this study: firstly, to identify LULC changes across three different periods, spectral imagery from the Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) for the years 2001 and 2011, and the Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) for 2021 were used as the primary data sources. The satellite images were preprocessed for various forest classes, including pretreatment of the top of atmosphere reflectance by using QGIS software’s semi-automatic classification plug-in (SCP), and ArcGIS was used for post-classification. A supervised classification approach was applied to the satellite images from 2001, 2011, and 2021 to generate diverse maps of LULC. Secondly, a household survey dataset was used to investigate influential factors. Approximately 220 households were interviewed in order to collect socio-economic information (including data on population growth, increased business activities, location of the area, agriculture land expansion, and need for settlement land). Household survey data was analyzed by using SPSS. Descriptive statistics, including frequency distributions and percentages, were applied to observe characteristics. Additionally, a binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the socioeconomic factors related to LULC change in DNPF. Key findings indicated a decline in natural forest areas within the study site. Specifically, both dry dipterocarp forest (−11.35%) and mixed deciduous forest (−0.18%) decreased from 2001 to 2021. The overall accuracy of the LULC maps was 94%, 86%, and 89% for the years 2001, 2011, and 2021 respectively. In contrast, agricultural land increased significantly by 155.70%, while built-up land, and water bodies increased by 65.54% and 35.33%, respectively. The results also highlighted a significant increase in construction land, up to 65.54%. Furthermore, the study found a correlation between agricultural expansion and a reduction of forest areas, along with an increase in built-up land along the forest areas’ boundaries. Timber exploitation and charcoal production also contributed to the decline in forest cover. The logistic regression model identified significant determinants of LULC change, including the area’s location, agricultural land expansion, increased business activity, and the need for settlement land. These factors have influenced the management of DNPF. Urgent sustainable management practices and actions, including forest ecosystem protection, village agricultural zoning, water source and watershed protection and public awareness, are required to preserve the forest areas of DNPF.展开更多

As a constitutively active receptor, EBI2 signals via Gai, and TM-II plays an important role in the signal transduct/on process. EBI2 is expressed mainly in mature, B cells and the expression level increases at the early stage of activation; subsequently, B cells are transferred into GC and the expression level is down-regulated. EBI2 can regulate independently and mediate synergistically the migration of B cell towards the extrafollicular areas and GC depending on chemo- kine receptors CXCR5 and CCR7 （EBII）. Differential expression of EBI2 receptor is conducive to accurate migration of B cells at different stages, thereby leading to appropriate irranunologic responses to T-dependent antigens. Recently, two research groups identified a specific oxysteml as the natural ligand for EBL2. Among all the oxysterols, 7α, 25-Dihydrexycholesteml （7a, 25-OHC） is the most effective ligand and activator, and EBI2-Oxysterol signal pathway plays an important role in adaptive immune responses. In addition, EBI2 is also closely related with specific kinds of autoimmune diseases, so it is considered as a negative regulator of the innate immune response in macrophages.展开更多
