Building Biofoundry India: challenges and path forward

Abstract Biofoundry is a place where biomanufacturing meets automation. The highly modular structure of a biofoundry helps accelerate the design–build–test–learn workflow to deliver products fast and in a streamlined fashion. In this perspective, we describe our efforts to build Biofoundry India, where we see the facility add a substantial value in supporting research, innovation and entrepreneurship. We describe three key areas of our focus, harnessing the potential of non-expressing parts of the sequenced genomes, using deep learning in pathway reconstruction and synthesising enzymes and metabolites. Toward the end, we describe specific challenges in building such facility in India and the path to mitigate some of those working with the other biofoundries worldwide.
The relationship between quality of college life and academic hardiness among college students

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between students’ quality of college life and their academic hardiness. The quantitative method was used in combination with a correlational approach. The measuring instrument used was an adaptation of QCL Measure by Sirgy (2007) and Academic Hardiness Scale by Benishek (2005). The population of the study was 105 students majoring in psychology at a private university in Jakarta, while the sample consisted of 89 students. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation test to obtain the correlation coefficient between the two variables. The results of the study showed that the quality of college life has a significant relationship with students’ academic hardiness. It is suggested that education institutions enforce the quality of college life aspect that has the strongest relationship with academic hardiness, which is the academic aspect. The academic aspect encompasses the quality of lecturers, learning environments, and learning materials.
An adapted Weibull function for agricultural applications

Abstract: The Weibull function is applied extensively in the life sciences and engineering but underused in agriculture. The function was consequently adapted to include parameters and metrics that increase its utility for characterizing agricultural processes. The parameters included initial and final dependent variables (Y0 and YF, respectively), initial independent variable (x0), a scale constant (k), and a shape constant (c). The primary metrics included mode, integral average, domain, skewness, and kurtosis. Nested within the Weibull function are the Mitscherlich and Rayleigh functions where c is fixed at 1 and 2, respectively. At least one of the three models provided an excellent fit to six example agricultural datasets, as evidenced by large adjusted coefficient of determination (RA2 ≥ 0.9266), small normalized mean bias error (MBEN ≤ 1.49%), and small normalized standard error of regression (SERN ≤ 8.08%). The Mitscherlich function provided the most probable (PX) representation of corn (Zea mays L.) yield (PM = 87.2%); Rayleigh was most probable for soil organic carbon depth profile (PR = 96.4%); and Weibull was most probable for corn seedling emergence (PW = 100%), nitrous oxide emissions (PW = 100%), nitrogen mineralization (PW = 58.4%), and soil water desorption (PW = 100%). The Weibull fit to the desorption data was also equivalent to those of the well-established van Genuchten and Groenevelt–Grant desorption models. It was concluded that the adapted Weibull function has good potential for widespread and informative application to agricultural data and processes.
Structural and textural relationships of amphibole and phlogopite in peridotite inclusions, Dish Hill, California

Peridotite inclusions in basanite at Dish Hill and Siberia craters near Ludlow, California, contain abundant amphibole, smaller quantities of phlogopite and apatite, and rare plagioclase. These minerals occur as veins transecting the peridotite and as interstitial components. Veins of undeformed amphibole cut across wehrlite-lherzolite layering and metamorphic foliation in therzolite and offset kink bands in olivine, indicating that the amphibole postdates both anhydrous mineral layering and plastic deformation of the peridotite. Gradations in textural behavior of arirphibole frorn veins to interstitial modes of occurrence suggest that all of the amphibole and associated minerals are post-consolidation additions to the peridotite, unrelated to its original crystallization. This conclusion is supported by the presence of amphibole with the same textural relations in all types of peridotite, irrespective of their modal composition or degree of deformation and recrystallization. The source of the secondary hydrous minerals is not known. They may predate the basanite and have contributed to its formation, or they may have been derived from the basanite or related magma. The absence of amphibole phenocrysts in the basanite, as well as similar occurrences of amphibole in alpine-t1pe peridotites that were not carried into the crust by mafic alkaline magma, support the former view. Both alternatives are currently under investigation.

A Highlight on Reasons for Tattoo Regrets and Removal

Results Sixty percent of the patients seeking tattoo erasing services were women (α=0.001), an average of 30 years, with a high educational level (46.6% of them were university or tertiary). Most of the tattoos (89%) had a professional origin, 60% were done with black color and 65% were in exposed areas. More than half of the patients (51%) gave dissatisfaction as the main reason for erasing their tattoos. More than half of patients (51.2%) regretted their tattoos between the same day of being tattooed and five years later.
Frontal Alpha Asymmetry and Psychosocial Interactions in Medical Students: A Pilot Study

Frontal alpha asymmetry (fAA) is a neurophysiological marker for anxiety and depression. This study tests the hypothesis that greater left-sided frontal alpha voltage is associated with negative thoughts about oneself. A group of eight healthy 28-41-year-old right-handed male medical students were subjected to an extensive interactive self-inventory (ISI) evaluating perceptions of their psychosocial interactions. Quantitative EEG (qEEG) was done with eyes closed. fAA in the alpha bandwidth (8-13 Hz) at the F7 and F8 scalp electrodes was the percent difference between mean voltages at F8 minus F7. Significance of associations between fAA and ISI scores was determined by Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient, at P≤0.05. “Depressed” scores were positively correlated with right-sided fAA (P=0.01). “Relaxed” (P=0.05), “regulated” (P=0.02), “cooperative” (P=0.05) and “dependent scores” (P=0.004) were negatively correlated with right-sided fAA. These findings imply that right-sided fAA may be associated with more perceptions of “depressed” psychosocial interactions involving negative thoughts about oneself, as well as, more reliance on others (“dependence” score), less sharing (“cooperative” ISI score), less trust (“regulated” ISI score) and less initiative (“relaxed” ISI score). These results support the hypothesis that right-sided fAA may identify individuals with a predilection for negative thoughts about themselves and negatively-valenced perceptions of their psychosocial interactions.
New Hindman spaces

We introduce a method that allows to turn topological questions about Hindman spaces into purely combinatorial questions about the Kat\v{e}tov order of ideals on $\mathbb{N}$. We also provide two applications of the method. (1) We characterize $F_\sigma$ ideals $\mathcal{I}$ for which there is a Hindman space which is not an $\mathcal{I}$-space under the continuum hypothesis. This reduces a topological question of Albin L. Jones about consistency of existence of a Hindman space which is not van der Waerden to the question whether the ideal of all non AP-sets is not below the ideal of all non IP-sets in the Kat\v{e}tov order. (2) Under the continuum hypothesis, we construct a Hindman space which is not an $\mathcal{I}_{1/n}$-space. This answers a question posed by Jana Fla\v{s}kov\'{a} at the 22nd Summer Conference on Topology and its Applications.
Image analysis of molecular complexes present in cryo-tomograms of neuronal synapses

We employed Cryo-electron tomography to study the native, three-dimensional supramolecular architecture of the postsynaptic density (PSD) both isolated and within the postsynaptic terminal. Template matching was used to detect CaMKII in our cryo tomograms. Our data suggests that the core structure of the PSD consists of a dense network of filaments, oriented parallel and perpendicular to the synaptic cleft, that serve the role of a foundation on top of which additional PSD components can attach. Furthermore, we obtained the 3D structures of activated and non-active recombinantly expressed mouse CaMKII by a combination of sub-tomogram averaging and single particle analysis.
Student engagement in K12 online education during the pandemic: The case of Turkey

Abstract Student engagement has become a challenge for K-12 students and teachers in online education during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study explored the factors underlying student engagement and the strategies teachers developed to engage students. Thematically analyzed interview data coming from 22 teachers and 20 students of public high schools revealed teachers’ and students’ similar perceptions of the factors affecting student engagement. The four themes identified were instructional and student related factors along with those related to the learning environment and policies. The teacher strategies for the facilitation of student engagement were instructional, managerial, and affective. Teachers also discussed which of these strategies were helpful in fostering student engagement.
Ultrasound-assisted Extraction of Plant-Based Proteins: A Novel Technique

Ultrasound has been explored in recent times by researchers and food processing industries due to its capacity to increase extraction efficacy by enhancing mass transfer and rupturing cells due to acoustic cavitation. In protein extraction ultrasound treatment is generally used as a pretreatment in combination with the traditional method of extraction as it breaks the cell wall and improves the extractability. Ultrasound treatment not only improves the extraction rate but can also modify the functional properties of the protein product. The rate and yield of protein extraction depend on the operating conditions like power density of ultrasound, pulse, duration of ultrasonication, solid to solvent ratio, temperature, extraction solvent, pH, and so on. The current paper aims to present the impact of incorporating ultrasound technology with traditional technologies on the yield and functional properties of protein extraction from plant sources.
Parental Support on College Students’ Career Adaptability: The Role of Proactive Personality as Mediator

In dealing with the changes posed by the industrial era 4.0, college students need to have career adaptability. One of the factors that influence the development of career adaptability is parental support. However, some previous studies have shown inconsistencies in the influence of parental support on career adaptability. The inconsistency of the results indicates that there is the involvement of internal factors, namely proactive personality. This study aims to examine the role of proactive personality in mediating the effect of parental support on a student’s career adaptability. Participants involved in this research were undergraduate students (N equals 551) from various universities in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi, who are in their 6th semester or more. The three research variables were measured using The Career Adapt-Ability Scale (CAAS), The Career-Related Parent Support (CRPSS), and the Proactive Personality Scale (PPS). Data processing was performed statistically using Pearson Correlation and PROCESS macros from Hayes. The results showed that parental support can influence career adaptability through proactive personality. Based on the limitations of this study, further research is suggested to consider the role of personality in parents, the characteristics of participants, and other factors that are likely to affect career adaptability.
In vivo toxicity study of dialkyl disulphides

As a result of the industrial purification of hydrocarbons from mercaptans, tens of thousands of tons of dialkyl disulphides and their mixtures, the toxicity and hazard of which has not been fully understood, are accumulated annually. The exposure standards have been developed only for dimethyl disulphide. The study was aimed to define toxicometry parameters for diethyl disulphide, disulphide oil, and the mixture of dialkyl disulphides. Toxicology studies involving male outbred rats made it possible to define the median lethal doses and concentrations: diethyl disulphide — after intragastric injection DL50 = 1575 mg/kg, after the 4-hour inhalation exposure CL50 = 18,700 mg/m3, after intraperitoneal injection DL50 = 1134 mg/kg, and after skin application DL50 ˃ 2500 mg/kg; mixture of dialkyl disulphides — after intragastric injection DL50 = 428 mg/kg, after the 4-hour inhalation exposure CL50 = 4510 mg/m3, after intraperitoneal injection DL50 = 212 mg/kg, and after skin application DL50 ˃ 2500 mg/kg; disulphide oil — after intragastric injection DL50 = 448 mg/kg, after the 4-hour inhalation exposure CL50 = 4534 mg/m3, after intraperitoneal injection DL50 = 156 mg/kg, and after skin application DL50 ˃ 2500 mg/kg. The hazard assessment for dialkyl disulphides and their mixtures was performed.
Anti-Crisis Management In A Regional Industrial Company

This article deals with the structure of an anti-crisis management system at an industrial company in Kursk Oblast as a typical Russian regional company. This topic is relevant in the context of the aggravating economic conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the search for methods that ensure businesses’ economic security. The economic security of project activities is one of the key elements of the general economic stability of a business. Project activities can be seen as one of the economic security objectives for the company. Providing the economic security of project activities stipulates the existence of the company’s own economic security system whose elements would be linked to those of the economic entity as a whole. The analysis of anti-crisis management in terms of the economic security of the company's project activities allowed us to identify two key problems: a) the lack of forecasting the project implementation impacts on the economic security of the company as a whole, and b) the absence of actions to determine and analyze real and potential threats. These setbacks restrict the capacities of anti-crisis company management because they hinder the optimization of the company development strategy taking into account all possible development scenarios and lead to responsive anti-crisis management. The constant influence of factors that threaten the economic security of project activities as well as the regular emergence of new such factors requires deploying a threat monitoring system not only at the project planning stage but also at the project implementation stage.
Pivoting Engineering Entrepreneurship Education Following the COVID-19 Pandemic

The spread of COVID-19 has significantly disrupted the educational landscape since March 2020.Instructors at higher education institutions had to quickly transition to an online environment for remote delivery of their academic programs. Even though academic programs are relatively easy to adapt for remote delivery as compared to other industries, educators were still tasked with redesigning their courses to guarantee the quality of education delivered to their students. This challenge is particularly true with engineering entrepreneurship educators since their course structures heavily focus on developing intangibles such as an entrepreneurial mindset and team collaboration through immersion into hands-on learning experiences. To create this experiential learning environment, engineering entrepreneurship educators have, in general, relied uponface-to-face interactions with students. Little has been published in the existing literature to report the challenges, strategies, and innovations that can help transition effectively and deliver such academic programs remotely. In this paper, the authors from four major Canadian higher education institutions report our experience from ‘trial-byfire’ mode to redesign and deliver various courses for remote learning. This paper is by no means presenting validated “best practices” but aims to trigger discussions surrounding tools available to educators considering such a transition. We hope that this paper will provide insights and strategies for our colleagues to employ in their future course design and delivery. We also hope to invite a conversation to learn more about our colleagues’ experiences and explore opportunities to identify and validate approaches for effectively teaching engineering entrepreneurship in a remote learning environment.
Music education and distance learning during COVID-19: a survey

Abstract In the spring of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic moved American schools to a distance learning modality for the duration of the school year. In an effort to document, examine, and learn from the various “stages” of this pandemic, the purpose of this paper was to describe the spring 2020 move to distance learning and how the policies put in place affected music educators. We focus on describing district/school policies, teacher response, and stakeholder perceptions of success and associated challenges. The study employed a survey of a broad sample of music educators (N = 1,368), which featured questions on music education-related policies during the spring 2020 distance learning period. Findings suggested a variety of policies were in place governing instructional modality, frequency of instruction, and teacher-student contact. Disparities especially existed between elementary and secondary music educators, with elementary teachers discussing greater frustration at their relative prioritization within the distance learning setup. The findings have important implications for policymakers and music educators.
Multi‐Core–shell TiO2NPs@ZIF‐8 Composite for Enhanced Photocatalytic Degradation and Adsorption of Methylene Blue and Rhodamine‐B

Multi-Core–shell TiO2NPs@ZIF-8 composites were synthesized by in situ encapsulation of different amounts of TiO2NPs (150, 300 and 500 μL suspension of TiO2NPs in methanol) in ZIF-8 at room temperature. Encapsulation of TiO2NPs in ZIF-8 was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. ZIF-8 and its core–shell composites have similar crystal structure and morphology as confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The detailed photocatalytic degradation and adsorption studies of methylene blue and rhodamine-B were investigated by considering various factors, viz. amount of loading of TiO2NPs in ZIF-8, amount of photocatalyst, pH and initial concentration of the dye. At higher pH (11.5−12.6), TiO2NPs@ZIF-8 composite exhibited higher (≈ 8 times) photocatalytic activity as compared to TiO2NPs and the optimum amount of TiO2NPs@ZIF-8 composite was 10 mg for the maximum photodegradation of 3.19 mg L−1 (93 %) and 2.4 mg L−1 (57 %) of methylene blue and rhodamine-B, respectively.
Condensation and evaporation processes during CB chondrite formation: Insights from Ge isotopes and highly siderophile element abundances

We analyzed the highly siderophile element (HSE) contents and bulk Ge isotopic compositions of large metal grains in the CB chondrites Bencubbin (CBa), Gujba (CBa), and HaH 237 (CBb). Our results suggest that the large grains were formed by the aggregation of smaller condensed grains, and the two Benccubinite groups are distinguishable based on their bulk metal δ74/70Ge mass‐dependent isotopic values of 0.99 ± 0.30‰ (CBa) and −0.65 ± 0.10‰ (CBb). Based on our observations of these three samples, the isotopic compositions of metal in CBa chondrites are best explained by condensation at slow cooling rates in the center of an impact plume, whereas the metal in CBb chondrites formed under fast cooling rates along the plume edges. We also analyzed the Ge contents and isotopic compositions of the core, intermediate, and rim fractions of two Gujba metal grains, which were separated by sequential digestion. These results show a gradual decrease in δ74/70Ge and [Ge] from core to rim. We suggest that these δ74Ge zonations result from near‐equilibrium condensation and evaporation processes in a heterogeneous plume. We propose a model for their formation in which (1) small grains (to become grain cores) condensed at equilibrium; (2) these grains were transported to a warmer region of the plume where they reached temperatures lower than that of Fe‐Ni condensation, but high enough for the rapid evaporation of Ge; (3) Ge evaporation followed by slow cooling enriched the grains in heavy Ge isotopes and the surrounding gas in light Ge isotopes; and (4) equilibrium recondensation of metal from the gas and around the small grains formed the light Ge isotopic zonations observed in grain rims.
