Tres décadas y trece congresos de la SEE: interculturalidad e interdisciplinariedad de los estudios emblemáticos (y II) / Three Decades and Thirteen Congresses of the See: Interculturality and Interdisciplinarity of Emblematic Studies (& II)
Authors: Azanza López Javier
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT: The origins of the Spanish Society of Emblematics (SEE) go back to the 1st International Emblematic Symposium, organized in Teruel in 1991 by Santiago Sebastián, a pioneer of iconological-iconographic studies in Spain. Since then, the SEE has ensured the consolidation, development and dissemination of emblematic research in Spain through various activities, including its international conferences. Three decades and thirteen congresses later, the half thousand studies presented in them constitute a representative example of Hispanic emblematic production, susceptible of an analysis from different perspectives. This article does so from the perspective of its border-crossing nature embodied in its interculturality and interdisciplinarity, two of the identifying signs of emblematic research and two of the main challenges of the Humanities for the 21st Century.

Features of the formation of value orientations of modern youth in Russia
Authors: Zelenkov Mikhail
Published: January 2024

The article discusses the distinctive features of the process of formation of value orientations characteristic of modern youth in Russia. For young people of the XXI century, it is the features of behavior that can have a significant impact on the nature of decision-making in different spheres of their life, and therefore require more detailed study. The purpose of the article is to identify the characteristic features of this process in relation to the youth of Russia at the present stage of its development. Based on the analysis of scientific theoretical and empirical sources, it is concluded that the government youth policy carried out in Russia does not achieve its goal and has certain costs in the forms, methods and means used. As a result, young people in Russia do not always respond adequately to changes in social space and in some cases of their behaviorism, conflicts are observed. The methodological basis of the study was a systematic approach, which allowed to reveal the problems of modern youth, from the point of view of their value orientations and to determine the basic values for conducting a sociological study. The application of the activity approach made it possible to identify the structural elements of the process of forming value orientations and the connections between them, as well as to build its model. The main scientific result is the conclusion that the basis of the value-oriented behavior of the youth of Russia is a humanistic orientation based on the desire for self-determination and responsibility to the family, an identical group, society and the state, and the necessary component is a cultural and ideological tradition that has its origins in the family. As characteristic features of the formation of the value orientation of young people, high trust in social networks as the main means of this process, as well as a certain trust in the educational context as an environment for instilling certain traditional values are highlighted. The ranking of subjects, methods and means of forming value orientations of Russian youth identified and carried out in the course of the study will provide practical assistance in further improving the effectiveness of this process.

Published: January 2024

The article examines two studies of the early period of Mstislav Dobuzhinsky's work, relating to the time of his life and studies in Germany (Munich): "A Street in Munich" (circa 1899-1901) and "Workshop of the Anton Ashbe School" (1899). The author of the article, based on the artistic and critical literature devoted to Dobuzhinsky's work, as well as correspondence and memoirs of the artist and his contemporaries, examines the urban pastel landscape and interior sketch of the late 90s. In the context of the tasks that the artist set himself during his studies abroad at the schools of Anton Ashbe and Shimon Holloshi, as well as in line with the conceptual searches of the artist both in the early and mature periods of creativity. In the analysis of the works under consideration, the author of the article uses formal stylistic, descriptive methods, the study of the features of artistic manner, the nature of the figurative and plastic language of the works, emotional and aesthetic assessment. The author of the article discovers an unconditional coincidence of artistic images, mood and texture of the early sketches of the artist's Munich period with verbal descriptions of the atmosphere of Munich in the late 1890s and the school of Anton Ashbe and his method, left by the artist and his contemporaries in letters, memoirs, art-critical and historical notes. Summing up the analysis of the "Streets of Munich" and the "Workshop of the Anton Ashbe School" by Mstislav Dobuzhinsky, the author of the article concludes that the special, subtle poetic mood of the two works under consideration, a gloomy autumn landscape and a bright sunny interior sketch, representing the early stage of the evolution of the artistic manner of the master, thoughtfully and figuratively reflect the concept "quiet poetry", characteristic of the artist's mature graphics and paintings, consistently developed by him in his further work.

The novelty of the research is determined by the content of the methods used and the rationale for the effectiveness of their use directly to improve the quality of performing combat fighting techniques.
EIN MUSIKINSTRUMENT ALS SPANNUNGSFELD DER INTERMEDIALITÄT: ÜBER DIE PARADOXEN FUNKTIONEN DER ESRAJ IN DER MUSIKKULTUR SANTINIKETANS
Authors: Roy Romit
Published: January 2024

The Indian string-instrument, the esraj, is closely associated with the music-culture of Santiniketan. Three musicians influenced the aesthetic and intermedial aspects that eventually defined the function of the instrument there based on the familiar but inconclusive controversy between verbal language and non-verbal music, between vocal and instrumental music. This article investigates the role and musical contributions of RabindranathTagore (1861–1941), Aseshchandra Bandyopadhyaya (1920–1992) and Ranadhir Roy (1943–1989).
Hypoxia-inducible factor induces cysteine dioxygenase and promotes cysteine homeostasis in Caenorhabditis elegans
Authors: Warnhoff Kurt , Bhattacharya Sushila , Snoozy Jennifer , Breen Peter C. , Ruvkun Gary
Published: January 2024

Dedicated genetic pathways regulate cysteine homeostasis. For example, high levels of cysteine activate cysteine dioxygenase, a key enzyme in cysteine catabolism in most animal and many fungal species. The mechanism by which cysteine dioxygenase is regulated is largely unknown. In an unbiased genetic screen for mutations that activate cysteine dioxygenase (
cdo-1
) in the nematode
C. elegans,
we isolated loss-of-function mutations in
rhy-1
and
egl-9,
which encode proteins that negatively regulate the stability or activity of the oxygen-sensing hypoxia inducible transcription factor (
hif-1
). EGL-9 and HIF-1 are core members of the conserved eukaryotic hypoxia response. However, we demonstrate that the mechanism of HIF-1-mediated induction of
cdo-1
is largely independent of EGL-9 prolyl hydroxylase activity and the von Hippel-Lindau E3 ubiquitin ligase, the classical hypoxia signaling pathway components. We demonstrate that
C. elegans cdo-1
is transcriptionally activated by high levels of cysteine and
hif-1
.
hif-1-
dependent activation of
cdo-1
occurs downstream of an H
2
S-sensing pathway that includes
rhy-1, cysl-1,
and
egl-9. cdo-1
transcription is primarily activated in the hypodermis where it is also sufficient to drive sulfur amino acid metabolism. Thus, the regulation of
cdo-1
by
hif-1
reveals a negative feedback loop that maintains cysteine homeostasis. High levels of cysteine stimulate the production of an H
2
S signal. H
2
S then acts through the
rhy-1/cysl-1/egl-9
signaling pathway to increase HIF-1-mediated transcription of
cdo-1,
promoting degradation of cysteine via CDO-1.

Mammalian sperm delve into the female reproductive tract to fertilize the female gamete. The available information about how sperm regulate their motility during the final journey to the fertilization site is extremely limited. In this work, we investigated the structural and functional changes in the sperm flagellum after acrosomal exocytosis and during the interaction with the eggs. The evidence demonstrates that the double helix actin network surrounding the mitochondrial sheath of the midpiece undergoes structural changes prior to the motility cessation. This structural modification is accompanied by a decrease in diameter of the midpiece and is driven by intracellular calcium changes that occur concomitant with a reorganization of the actin helicoidal cortex. Although midpiece contraction may occur in a subset of cells that undergo acrosomal exocytosis, live-cell imaging during in vitro fertilization showed that the midpiece contraction is required for motility cessation after fusion is initiated. These findings provide the first evidence of the F-actin network’s role in regulating sperm motility, adapting its function to meet specific cellular requirements during fertilization, and highlighting the broader significance of understanding sperm motility.In this work, we demonstrate that the helical structure of polymerized actin in the flagellum undergoes a rearrangement at the time of sperm-egg fusion. This process is driven by intracellular calcium and promotes a decrease in the sperm midpiece diameter as well as the arrest in motility, which is observed after the fusion process is initiated.

Authors: Faulve Mary Nena M.
Published: January 2024

This study introduces an innovative investigation into the development and utilization of a specially designed jack screw tailored for lifting lightweight objects. While screw jacks are well-established for their efficacy in mechanical lifting applications, this research aims to broaden their adaptability by specifically addressing the unique demands of lifting lighter loads. The exploration encompasses a thorough examination of the design principles, materials, and operational facets associated with the proposed screw jack innovation. The primary impetus behind this research is to fill an existing void in lifting solutions that are customized to the requirements of tasks involving light objects. By delving into the intricacies of screw jack design, the study seeks to improve the efficiency and safety of lifting operations in diverse contexts, such as small-scale workshops, where precision and controlled lifting of lighter loads are crucial. Anticipated outcomes of this study include the development of a specialized screw jack prototype that provides a dependable, cost-effective, and ergonomic solution for lifting light objects. The research findings aim to contribute valuable insights to the fields of mechanical engineering and lifting technology, laying the groundwork for further advancements in the design and application of lifting devices tailored to specific load requirements. Based on the study's findings, the following conclusions were drawn: the device effectively raises objects with a 2-ton capacity, its safety has been successfully verified, and the materials used are locally available. However, it is essential to note that this design is limited to light loads. Therefore, in applications requiring a screw-type mechanical jack for heavy loads, a different design is necessary. Recommendations include adherence to the device's capacity, implementation of safety measures to prevent accidents during operation, and potential modifications for further enhancement in future research endeavors.

Heavy metal pollution of surface waters from anthropogenic activities is constantly increasing. Monitoring techniques must therefore be more precise and more sensitive. One of the effective methods available is the development of sensitive electrochemical sensors, dedicated to the analysis of pollutants in aqueous solution. The carbon paste electrode (CPE) in this study was modified with Moringa Oleifera seed powder, a flocculant-adsorbent used to treat water. This chemically modified electrode presented improved electrochemical reactivity in cyclic votammetry towards the redox marker Ferri / Ferrocyanide compared to the bare carbon paste electrode. The 10 % modifier presented the most interest during the analysis. The Modified electrode was used to detect mercury (II) in anodic stripping voltammetry. The detection current of mercury (II) is seven times that of carbon paste electrode (CPE). The calibration curve is linear in the range from 0.002 μmol/L to 0.009 μmol/L (0.4 μg/L to 1.8 μg/L) with a detection limit of 0.4 ηmol/L (i.e.0.08 μg/L). This new technique can be used for routine monitoring of real aqueous matrices.

Nutrition security therefore has to be addressed by both availability and accessibility of nutrient-rich foods at the household level, which is central to Farming System for Nutrition (FSN). The present scientific inquiry with research objectives of to conduct rapid appraisal on food and nutritional security of farmers by using GIS through UAV data has been performed in the three adopted villages of the research project—DHaBReT at Bhoirymbong C&RD block, Ri-bhoi, Meghalaya. A Descriptive research design and Mixed-method sampling procedure were followed in the study. Fifty four (54) respondents have been identified from three villages, namely (i) Thadnongiaw, (ii) Kdonghulu, and (iii) Liarkhla from Bhoirymbong C&RDB of Ri-bhoi district of Meghalaya. Performance of Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA) using UAV data could ascertained that about 38% and 73% of arable land had aspect toward North-West (very low sunshine) and situated in a steep location, wherein administration of improved scientific agriculture was a challenge. Therefore, the study recommends that agricultural research institutions and department of agriculture, state government etc. should take prime initiatives in order to incept FSN to farmers of Bhoirymbong, Ri-bhoi, Meghalaya.

A field trial was carried out as an experiment during the Rabi season of 2022–23 at the farm of R.M.P. (P.G.) College Gurukul–Narsan, Haridwar (U.K.) to identify optimum Nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers rates. Sand loam soil with a pH of 7.5, electrical conductivity (EC) of 0.26 dSm-1, organic carbon content of 0.60 percent, and available nutrients at levels of 217.0, 19.66, and 196.66 kg ha-1 for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), respectively, was used for the experiment. Uttar Pradesh. "Effect of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilization on the Growth and Yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)" was the main topic of the study. The common dosage for the experimental design was 40 kg N + 80 kg. P2O5 was administered to every treatment. The experiment was designed using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 12 treatments spread across three replications, along with a control group. Based on the results, it was found that the mixture of 40 kg/ha P2O5 and 50 kg/ha (N) significantly improved yield, growth, and other yield parameters. The data for treatment 5 showed the highest values for the following parameters: plant height (97.62 cm),), number of tillers m-2 (375.00), dry matter accumulation (16.53 g /plant), test weight (44.99g, grains /ear (12.93), effective ear head per (m-2) (282.66), and straw yield (47.59 quintals/ha).

The increasing prominence of rapeseed-mustard on the global stage as vital oilseed crop is attributed to its high yield, low moisture requirements, cost effective production, and adoptability to diverse farming condition indicating the potential for a forthcoming yellow revolution role in India's oilseed production, facing challenges from various factors affecting yield and seed quality. Notably, white rust stands out as a significant biotic stressor, causing substantial losses in both yield and seedily, 17–34% yield particularly in oil content. To address this, utilizing resistant varieties is the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach for disease management. However, the available resistant sources are limited. In a recent study during the Rabi seasons of 2021-22 and 2022-23, thirty rapeseed mustard genotypes were assessed under white rust prevalent conditions. Out of 30 genotypes tested, none were found to be free of white rust disease infection and none were classified as resistant. However,11genotypes were registered as as moderately resistance, while, 19 genotypes fell under the were in the susceptible category. Promisingly, some genotypes exhibited resistance to white rust, offering potential for developing superior cultivars to effectively manage the disease in regions where mustard cultivation is prevalent.
Aims: The study aimed to evaluate 30 rapeseed-mustard genotypes during the Rabi sessions of 2021-22 and 2022-23, focusing on their resistance to white rust. The primary objective was to identified genotypes with potential resistant traits, contributing to the development of superior cultivars for effective white rust management in regions where rapeseed-mustard cultivation is prominent.
Study Design: Randomized Block Design.
Place and Duration of Study:  Experimental field of the Department of Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture, BUAT, Banda session 2021-22 and 2022-23.
Results and Conclusion: None of the tested genotypes were found to be entirely free from white rust infection, and none of these achieved under resistance. However, the study identified 11 genotypes as moderately resistance and 19 genotypes fell into the susceptible category. Despite the challenges posed by white rust, sum genotypes demonstrated resistance, offering promising potential for the development of advanced cultivars. This finding holds significant for regions where rapeseed-mustard cultivation faces the threat of white rust, providing the basis for future efforts enhancing crop resilience and productivity.

A rare β‐thalassemia mutation at the splicing junction [namely, G→C in intervening sequence (IVS) I‐1] was found in a Japanese family. The proband and his mother were heterozygous for the mutation. Analysis of mRNA extracted from the reticulocyte‐rich fraction obtained from the proband's mother revealed that the mutant β‐globin gene did not produce any detectable, stable mRNA including exon 1 and exon 2, since the polymorphism in exon 1 on her mutant gene was not detected in the RT‐PCR products.

We studied the effects of cyclosporin A (CsA) on the erythroid differentiation of human erythroid leukemia cell line K562. After K562 was treated with CsA for 4 days, the percentage of hemoglobinized cells was increased by 3.3 times. Because it was reported p38 MAPK (p38) and ERK are involved in erythropoietin‐induced erythroid differentiation, we studied their roles using specific inhibitors. p38 inhibitor (SB203580) prevented CsA‐induced hemoglobin synthesis in K562 cells, although MEK/ERK inhibitor (U0126) enhanced it by 3.3 times in K562 cells. These results indicate activation of p38 and inactivation of ERK are involved in CsA‐induced erythroid differentiation of K562 cells. Am. J. Hematol. 72:67–69, 2003. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Autoimmune hemolysis associated with primary biliary cirrhosis responding to ursodeoxycholic acid as sole treatment

Published: January 2003

Coombs' positive autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) has been rarely described in association with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). The previously reported cases have responded to treatment with a combination of corticosteroids and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). We report a case of AIHA occurring in association with PBC, which has responded to treatment with UDCA alone. Possible mechanisms of autoimmune hemolysis in this patient include bile salt induced immune dysregulation and direct damage to red cell membranes by bile salts leading to exposure of neoantigens and development of red cell autoantibodies. A trial of UDCA as a single agent should be considered as initial treatment in this rare disorder. Am. J. Hematol. 72:31–33, 2003. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Myelofibrosis is characterized by reticulin fibrosis of the bone marrow with resulting features of myelophthisis. Besides hematopoietic malignancies and other neoplasms involving the bone marrow, myelofibrosis has been described in association with autoimmune disorders, especially systemic lupus erythematosus. We describe the clinicopathologic features of a primary form of autoimmune myelofibrosis (AIMF) in patients who do not have systemic lupus erythematosus or another well‐defined autoimmune syndrome. Absence of marked splenomegaly, peripheral blood cytopenias with mild teardrop poikilocytosis and leukoerythroblastosis, bone marrow lymphoid aggregates, and presence of autoantibodies are some of the salient features of primary AIMF. AIMF should especially be differentiated from chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis, a neoplastic myeloproliferative disease. Primary AIMF appears to have an excellent prognosis, with all patients reported in this series responding to a short course of corticosteroid therapy. Am. J.
