Authors: Meng Xinmei , Yang Chen , Zhu Chunyan
Published: November 2023

This study aims to investigate the influence of tie-dye techniques on the durability and aesthetic appeal of textiles. To address the issues of textile damage and visual aesthetics during usage, researchers conducted comparative experiments using five tie-dye fabric techniques and a wax-resist technique. The experimental results revealed that textiles processed through the folding and clamping dye method exhibited notable resistance to breakage in terms of durability. Textiles treated with the stitch and bind dye method demonstrated significant advantages over other processing methods in terms of colorfastness, fabric luster, and visual attractiveness. The study findings indicate a positive impact of tie-dye techniques on the durability and aesthetic appeal of textiles. By employing tie-dye techniques, the durability of the textiles remained uncompromised while enhancing their aesthetic appeal. This technique is suitable for everyday use, and it also improves the visual quality of textiles, making them more competitive in the market. Therefore, tie-dye techniques offer an effective and promising improvement method for the textile industry, with wide potential applications in practical production.

Authors: Norberg Malin , Dahlström Helene
Published: November 2023

In this paper we present our work process, methods and concerns in developing and implementing a model for analysis of multimodal texts. Using a design-based research approach and a multimodal social semiotic framework on communication, we investigated three different groups of students using video recordings and participatory observations. The results revealed the development of the model through three different design cycles into the current version and how students contributed to this process. In addition, we examined how the design process can be understood from the concept of student agency and how it contributes to the understanding of theory. The findings show that by applying a design process, students are offered student agency while creating an opportunity for a joint exploration between students and teachers, which is a rewarding experience that contributes to the development of all participants.

Objective:
This study aimed to assess the outcome of patients with acute respiratory failure and need of mechanical ventilation who stayed for more than 21 days in the ICU.
Methods:
All acute respiratory failure patients in King Saud Medical City, Riyadh Saudi Arabia and adults ICU who required a lengthy intensive care unit stay of more than 21 days between January 2022 and August 2023 were identified in this retrospective study. Information was extracted from the hospital database by trained physicians.
Results:
Total 121 patients (mean age 61.2±15.8 years) were included. Of which, 24.1% patients were more than 70 years. Sepsis was the most common cause of prolonged ICU stay both in survivors and non-survivors with 77.8% and 76.1%, respectively. Compared to patients who survived, non-survivors had higher acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE 4) scores were considerably older. Moreover, non-survivors were more likely than survivors to have renal failure, arrhythmia, hepatic failure, or significant gastrointestinal tract bleeding as reasons for a lengthy ICU stay. Patients who were admitted to ICU because they needed further surgery were more likely to survive.
Conclusion:
When acute respiratory fever (ARF) patients needed a lengthy stay in the ICU, their prognosis was not good. A high risk of in-hospital death was linked to older ages, more than 28 days ICU stay, more than 25 APACHE 4 score, unstable hemodynamic condition, hepatic failure, renal failure, major gastrointestinal tract bleeding, and needing FiO2 ≥40%.

The Potential Regulatory Role of miR-378 in the Expression of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-15 in Infertile Women with Hyperprolactinemia (HPL)
Authors: Kamel Maryam Dhary , Kandala Nuha Joseph
Published: November 2023

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between microRNA 378 and BMP15 gene expression levels in blood samples collected from 50 healthy fertile females as controls and 50 hyperprolactinemia infertile females by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Specific primers were designed for this purpose based on the sequences of microRNA 378 and BMP15 retrieved from NCBI and designed by primer 3 software. The result assessing the expression level of BMP15 in hyperprolactinemia (HPL) was 0.220, while the control group's fold change value was 1.000. The HPL group showed downregulation in the expression of the BMP15 gene. While the fold expression values of the miRNA378 gene in the hyperprolactinemia (HPL) group were 2.227 and the control group's mean value was 1.000, the HPL group showed up-regulation in the expression of the miRNA378 gene. The results of the study revealed that miR-378 has directly regulated BMP15 gene expression; based on this, BMP15 gene expression was obviously decreased. Therefore, the expression level of BMP15 was negatively correlated with miR-378 expression.

Published: November 2023

Thirty-two soil samples were collected from the study area in October 2020 for geochemical and pollutants investigation of Shwan Sub-basin soil. All soil samples were analysed for different geochemical analyses. The analysis results revealed that the pH values in soil samples ranged from 7.12 to 7.56 with a mean of 7.327. According to the pH values detected in the soil samples, the soil is classified as neutral soil. The electrical conductivity ranged from 0.92 mmhos/cm to 7.8 mmhos/cm with a mean of 1.53 mmhos/cm. Thus, according to the detected electrical conductivity values, the soil was classified as non-saline to slightly saline. The organic matter ranged from 1.14% to 1.45% with a mean value of 1.326 %, while total organic carbon ranged from 0.66 % to 0.84 % with a mean value of 0.769 % which indicated the soil was characterized by low organic content. The results of the geochemical analysis revealed that the major and minor element mean concentrations were in the order Si> Ca> Al> Fe> Mg > K> Ti> Na> P> Mn> S> Cl> N. The average concentrations of trace elements in soil samples followed the decreasing order Sr > Cr> Ba> Zr> Ni> V> Zn> Ta> Rb> Cu> Nb> Y> Pb> Co> Ga> Mo> As> Th> Br> Sn> I. Furthermore, the comparison between heavy metal concentrations in the soil of the study area and metal concentrations in the world soil limit and Indirect Geochemical Background revealed an increase in metal concentrations of Cr, Ni, Zn, Co, As, Mo and Ta.  Multivariate statistical analyses, such as Principal Component Analysis and Agglomerative Hierarchal Cluster Analysis, identified the potential sources of pollutants in the soil. Most metals are from natural sources and some of them are from anthropogenic sources mostly from agricultural activities mainly fertilizers use and the waste of animals breeding on farms. Besides industrial activities such as deposits of pollutants from emissions of petroleum refineries located inside or close to the study area. In addition, building blocks and paint factories.

Developing the Complexity and Security of the Twofish Algorithm Through a New Key Scheduling Design
Authors: Hattab Anwar Abbas , Saieed Ali Hussein
Published: November 2023

The Twofish cipher is a very powerful algorithm with a fairly complex structure that permeates most data parsing and switching and can be easily implemented. The keys of the Twofish algorithm are of variable length (128, 192, or 256 bits), and the key schedule is generated once and repeated in encrypting all message blocks, whatever their number, and this reduces the confidentiality of encryption. This article discusses the process of generating cipher keys for each block. This concept is new and unknown in all common block cipher algorithms. It is based on the permanent generation of sub keys for all blocks and the key generation process, each according to its work. The Geffe's Generator is used to generate subkeys to make each explicit block a new key that differs from block to block, gaining protection against attacks. Finally, this algorithm works almost like a One-Time Pad.

Published: November 2023

This study explored the preservative effects of the alcoholic leaves’ extract of Ficus carica plant on beef refrigerated for 15 days. Phytochemical analysis showed that the plant extract contained terpenoids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids. Furthermore, the alcoholic extract of plants significantly reduced the total viable counts of psychrotrophic bacteria, pathogenic bacteria (Proteus, Salmonella typhimiurum, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus), and yeasts (Candida kruse, Candida lambica, and Zygosaccharomyces) isolated from meat samples, particularly at 100 and 200 mg/ml concentrations.
The antioxidant activity of the extract was determined by using TBA and TVN values. The results showed that meat samples treated with 100 and 200 mg/ml of the alcoholic extract of F. carica had significantly lower TBA values (25, 0.24 mg/kg respectively) on day 5 which became 0.92, 0.53 mg/kg on day 15. Whereas the control values increased from 0.25 to 1.75 mg/kg on day 15,f ollowed by the TVN values of treatment meat samples with 100 and 200 mg/ml 5.57, 5.12 mg N/100 g meat respectively on day 5 which became 12.16, 10.65 mg N/ 100 g meat on day 15, while the TVN in control samples increased significantly (p < 0.05) from 7.35 to 15.76 mg N/100 g meat.
All results confirmed that the alcoholic extract of F. carica, which is rich in bioactive compounds is more effective as a natural antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant, than synthetic antioxidants that maintain the quality of beef, compared to the control by reducing lipid oxidation and microbial growth at refrigeration temperatures, especially at 100 and 200 mg/ml concentrations of the plant extract.

There are twelve significant Upanisad scriptures. These scriptures described about God, soul and universe in an esoteric philosophical way. Furthermore, Upanisad main scriptures explicitly explained about an education system that can develop students’ intelligence holistically. Education system in Upanisad scriptures emphasized on an integrated learning aspects to build a cognitive, affective and psychomotoric behavior which involves the relationship between the teacher and the students. The excellence values of Upanisad scriptures that need to be evaluated to create an education system that can produce qualified students physically and mentally as described in the national education system. Upanisad education system should be able to be realized in Indonesia’s education system, particularly in teaching Hindu religion. Currently, Indonesia’s education system has not reached an ideal and optimal condition to produce qualified students. In Upanisad scriptures, we can say that it is a qualified system if it can create qualified students who not only have cognitive intelligence, but also spiritual intelligence in their behavior. Therefore, the education system in Upanisad scriptures emphasized on the process of experiencing rather than memorizing all theoretical formulas. The focus of this research is about the excellence values in Upanisad scriptures in creating qualified students.

Inorganic phosphorus fractions and phosphorus availability in long term fertilizer cum manurial trials under coconut cultivation
Authors: Neenu S. , Bhat Ravi , Selvamani V. , Subramanian P.
Published: November 2023

Phosphorus is one of the major nutrients required for coconut production. The information about the fate of native and applied phosphorus in soil is essential for better management of the nutrient. The changes on inorganic P fractions and P availability in soil after 43 years of coconut cultivation were studied from a long term fertilizer cum manurial experiment at CPCRI, Kasaragod. There were 6 treatments viz. tillage with organic and inorganic fertilizer, tillage with inorganic fertilizer, inorganic fertilizers with basin forking, tillage alone, herbicide application without tillage and fertilizer and the control. Soil samples were taken at two depths (0-30 and 30-60 cm) from coconut basin for analysis. Phosphorus was fractionated into Easily Soluble P (ES-P), Aluminium P (AI-P), Iron P (Fe-P), Calcium P (Ca-P) and Reductant Soluble P (RS-P) through sequential extraction. The dominant phosphorus fraction in the coconut basin at 0-30 cm depth was Ca-P and the trend is as follows: Ca-P> Fe-P> RS-P>Al-P>ES-P. However, at 30-60 cm depth, Fe-P became the dominant fraction and the trend is Fe-P>Ca-P>RS-P>Al-P>ES-P. Long-term phosphorus fertilization would facilitate the accumulation of soil Ca-P, and thus improve soil P availability. In the interspaces, Fe-P was the dominating fraction in both the depths followed by Ca-P and RS-P. The diﬀerence in P fractions in fertilized and non-fertilized plots clearly showed that the fertilized plots have high content of all the inorganic phosphorus fractions in both the depths. Application of mineral P along with forking in basin showed a high concentration of all the inorganic P fractions compared to other fertilizer applied treatments.

Use and Efficacy of Porcine Urinary Bladder Matrix for Tissue Regeneration: A Review
Authors: Baum Jaxon , Baum Gracie , Cox Cameron , Valerio Ian , MacKay Brendan
Published: November 2023

Porcine-derived UBM, a type of acellular ECM, has demonstrated clinical utility for tissue repair and regeneration across various body systems. UBM acts as a full-thickness, exogenic skin substitute and scaffolding for soft tissue reconstruction while mimicking the function and properties of human ECM. This review presents an overview of the current literature evaluating UBM’s clinical and preclinical utility across a broad range of applications. A compilation of studies of human and animal patients with a multitude of tissue defects resulting from various pathologic or injurious processes were systematically reviewed. The types of reconstructions included were categorized by the following surgical domains: abdominal wall; cardiothoracic and pulmonary; gastrointestinal; neurosurgery; oral and maxillofacial; otolaryngology or head and neck; ophthalmology; orthopedic or plastic or orthoplastic surgery; burn and wound care; and urology and gynecology. This systematic review illustrates that UBM may perform as well as or better than other ECM mimetics across various parameters, including reduced time to definitive wound closure, recurrence of wound, infection and/or complication rates, and immunogenic transplant rejection; reduction in overall cost burden to the patient, improved patient satisfaction, and ease of use and maintenance for providers; increased cellular recruitment, invasion, differentiation, and proliferation; and increased repair and regeneration of tissue. This tissue regeneration tends to be more functionally, mechanically, and histologically similar to native tissue through tissue-specific functional remodeling and maturation. This clinical outcome can be seen in various tissue types, levels of injury, and/or defect severity. UBM also proves valuable because of its ability to be used off-the-shelf in surgical, nonsurgical, or office and in-the-field treatment settings.

Methylation of adenine N6 (m6A) is the most frequent RNA modification. On mRNA, it is catalyzed by the METTL3-14 heterodimer complex which plays a key role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and other types of blood cancers and solid tumors. Here we disclose the first proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) for an epitranscriptomics target. For design-ing the PROTACs we made use of the crystal structure of the complex of METTL3-14 with a potent and selective small-molecule inhibitor (called UZH2). The optimization of the linker started from a desfluoro precursor of UZH2 whose syn-thesis is more efficient than the one of UZH2. The first nine PROTAC molecules featured PEG- or alkyl-based linkers but only the latter showed cell penetration. With this information in hand, we synthesized 26 PROTACs based on UZH2 and alkylic linkers of different lengths and rigidity. The formation of the ternary complex was validated by a FRET-based biochemical assay and an in vitro ubiquitination assay. Three PROTACs with three different rigid extensions of UZH2 showed 50% or higher degradation of METTL3 and METTL14 measured by Western blot in MOLM-13. Substantial degra-dation was measured also on three others AML cell lines and the prostate cancer cell line PC3.
Non-bonded force field parameters from MBIS partitioning of the molecular electron density improve binding affinity predictions of the T4-lysozyme double mutant
Authors: Macaya Luis , González Duván , Vöhringer-Martinez Esteban
Published: November 2023

Binding affinity prediction using computer simulation has been increasingly incorporated in drug discovery projects. Its wide application, however, is limited by the prediction accuracy of the free energy calculations. The main error sources are force fields used to describe molecular interactions and incomplete sampling of the configurational space. To improve the quality of the force field, we developed a Python-based computational workflow. The workflow described here uses the Minimal Basis Iterative Stockholder method (MBIS) to determine atomic charges and Lennard-Jones parameters from the polarized molecular density. This is done by performing electronic structure calculations on various configurations of the ligand, both when it is bound and unbound. In addition, we have validated a simulation procedure that accounts for the protein and the ligand degrees of freedom to precisely calculate binding free energies. This was achieved by comparing the self-adjusted mixture sampling and non-equilibrium thermodynamic integration methods using various protein and ligand conformations. The accuracy of predicting binding affinity is improved by using MBIS derived force field parameters and the validated simulation procedure. This improvement surpasses the chemical precision for the eight aromatic ligands reaching a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.7 kcal/mol.

Efficient, facile, and energy-efficient desorption processes are highly sought after in industrial processes. Visible light exists all around us and can be considered a ubiquitous energy source that can be used to drive photothermal processes such as the release of guest molecules from porous sorbents. Herein, we present four sustainably synthesized porous coordination polymers, M(dhbq)(H2O)2 (where dhbq = 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone, and M = Fe, Mg, Mn, or Zn) with visible light photoresponsive properties. Efficient desorption of CO2 corresponding to up to 47.6 % of the total uptake capacity was achieved upon visible light irradiation for 10 min. A negligible decrease (< 97 %) in CO2 uptake was observed for up to 10 light-swing adsorption cycles and working capacities of up to 37.5 g kg- were obtained in Fe(dhbq). M(dhbq) possess highly desirable properties that make them interesting for applications related to cost-effective and energy-efficient desorption processes.
Accessing Rare α-Heterocyclic Aziridines via Brønsted Acid-catalyzed Michael Addition/Annulation: Scope, Limitations, and Mechanism

We report an approach to the diastereoselective synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted heterocyclic aziridines. A Brønsted acid-catalyzed conjugate addition of anilines to trisubstituted heterocyclic chloroalkenes provides an intermediate 1,2-chloroamine. Diastereocontrol was found to vary significantly with solvent selection, with computational modelling confirming selective, spontaneous fragmentation in the presence of trace acids, proceeding through a pseudo-cyclic, protonated intermediate and transition state. These chloroamines can then be converted to the aziridine by treatment with LiHMDS with high stereochemical fidelity. This solvent-induced stereochemical enrichment thereby enables an efficient route to rare cis-aziridines with high dr. The scope, limitations, and mechanistic origins of selectivity are also presented.

Authors: Iparraguirre-Bernaola Álvaro
Published: November 2023

El constante desarrollo de los medios digitales y esencialmente los aportes de los videojuegos en términos de animación e inmersión, han favorecido la aparición de nuevos espacios para la comunicación, generando entornos virtuales como el metaverso. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo reconocer las posibilidades y limitaciones existentes en la libertad sin límites que presenta el metaverso, a fin de establecer el nivel de control por parte de los diseñadores a los usuarios y viceversa. Para ello, se propone una investigación cualitativa que partirá del estudio de la bibliografía seleccionada, así

como del análisis de los avatares y los sistemas de mediación en las experiencias Vans World y Nikeland de Roblox. A través de este análisis, se evidencian las características interactivas que componen estos entornos y se visibiliza la narrativa que se produce a partir de la construcción de la libertad simulada. Los resultados de la investigación indican que la libertad simulada propuesta por el metaverso no difiere del condicionamiento y control ya empleado en otros medios, pues a medida que crecen las posibilidades, también aumenta el control, lo que obedece a las tendencias impuestas por la tecnología de lo virtual, la cual crea la ilusión de tener lo que no se tiene.

Accurate and reliable relative humidity forecasting is important when evaluating the impacts of climate change on humans and ecosystems. However, the complex interactions among geophysical parameters are challenging and may result in inaccurate weather forecasting. This study combines long short-term memory (LSTM) and extreme learning machines (ELM) to create a hybrid model-based forecasting technique to predict relative humidity to improve the accuracy of forecasts. Detailed experiments with univariate and multivariate problems were conducted, and the results show that LSTM-ELM and ELM-LSTM have the lowest MAE and RMSE results compared to stand-alone LSTM and ELM for the univariate problem. In addition, LSTM-ELM and ELM-LSTM result in lower computation time than stand-alone LSTM. The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid models outperform the comparative methods in relative humidity forecasting. We employed the recursive feature elimination (RFE) method and showed that dewpoint temperature, temperature, and wind speed are the factors that most affect relative humidity. A higher dewpoint temperature indicates more air moisture, equating to high relative humidity. Humidity levels also rise as the temperature rises.

Digital solutions have emerged as powerful tools for addressing the challenges associated with garbage and waste management. This study proposes the implementation of a smart garbage monitoring system to support the Malawi Cleaning Council in their efforts to efficiently manage waste in Malawi. The system utilizes sensor technology integrated into garbage bins to monitor fill levels and transmit data to a central platform. This data is then analyzed to optimize waste collection routes and schedules, ensuring timely and cost-effective waste pickups. The smart garbage monitoring system also enables the Malawi Cleaning Council to proactively address overflowing bins and illegal dumping by receiving real-time alerts and location information. By leveraging digital technology, the system enhances the council's ability to allocate resources effectively, reduce operational costs, and improve overall waste management efficiency. The findings of this study highlight the potential of digital solutions for transforming garbage waste management and contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment in Malawi.
