Amino acid fund of blood serum of European migrating species of Chiroptera: Vespertilio murinus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Pipistrellus nathusii (Keyserling et blasius, 1839) of the Ural fauna
Authors: Kovalchuk L. A. , Mishchenko V. A. , Chernaya L. V. , Bolshakov V. N.
Published: September 2024

The amino acid pool of free amino acids in the blood serum of two European migratory bat species: V. murinus and P. nathusii living in the Urals was studied. Statistically significant differences were noted in the formation of the main metabolic groups of free amino acids in yearlings of migratory species: GGAA, NEAA, EAA, SAA (p 0.05). In yearlings of the P. nathusii: GGAA predominates – 79.7% and EAA – 49.4%, and in the yearlings of the V. murinus: GGAA predominates – 74.9% and NEAA – 58.4%. Comparative analysis showed no differences between V. murinus and P. nathusii in the percentage of AAA and BCAA (p 0.05). Statistically significant differences were noted in the formation of metabolic groups of amino acids in the blood of yearlings of migratory species of bats and the resident species of pond bat (p 0.05).
La evaluación formativa para el logro de competencias en matemáticas
Authors: Moreno Castro Jimmy Alexander , Moreno Castro Jairo Guillermo
Published: September 2024

La evaluación de las competencias en matemáticas es un aspecto de singular importancia para involucrar a los estudiantes en su propio proceso de aprendizaje. La evaluación formativa se destaca como una oportunidad para potenciar los niveles de aprendizaje logrados; sin embargo, en algunos contextos se aplica parcialmente o de manera asistemática, privilegiando la evaluación sumativa o final. El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar los procesos que fundamentan la evaluación formativa en términos del logro de las competencias en matemáticas en la educación básica. Para ello, se utilizó la técnica de revisión documental y se empleó una matriz de análisis como instrumento, a fin de dar respuesta al siguiente interrogante: ¿cuáles procesos de la evaluación formativa son pertinentes para el logro de competencias en el área de matemáticas en la educación básica? Los documentos se localizaron en bases de datos como WoS, Scielo, Redalyc y Google Scholar; posteriormente, se aplicó una matriz de análisis. Se concluye que la evaluación formativa es de extraordinaria relevancia para el logro de competencias matemáticas al momento de aplicar procesos de realimentación, tales como la identificación de logros, la autoevaluación y la coevaluación, a partir de los cuales se reconoce al estudiante como el actor principal de su proceso de aprendizaje. Por ello, este tipo de evaluación permite a los estudiantes enfocarse en la demanda interna de aprender, no solo en las áreas de conocimiento que requieren dominar, sino en todos los aspectos de su vida.
Forecasting Commercial Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) in Urban California Areas
Authors: Chung Steve , Kwon Jaymin , Ahn Yushin
Published: September 2024

This study investigates commercial truck vehicle miles traveled (VMT) across six diverse California counties from 2000 to 2020. The counties—Imperial, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and San Francisco—represent a broad spectrum of California’s demographics, economies, and landscapes. Using a rich dataset spanning demographics, economics, and pollution variables, we aim to understand the factors influencing commercial VMT. We first visually represent the geographic distribution of the counties, highlighting their unique characteristics. Linear regression models, particularly the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and elastic net regressions are employed to identify key predictors of total commercial VMT. LASSO regression emphasizes feature selection, revealing vehicle population and fuel consumption as significant predictors in most counties. Elastic net regression, which balances feature selection and multicollinearity, expands the list of predictors to include variables like the number of trips, CO2 emissions, and PM2.5 pollution. Overall, the findings suggest that economic factors, such as fuel consumption and vehicle population, significantly impact the total commercial VMT across the counties. Pollution variables, specifically CO2 and PM2.5, also play a role. These insights underscore the need for nuanced transportation and environmental policies, especially in the face of economic fluctuations, to manage commercial truck VMT effectively and sustainably. Methodology using both LASSO and elastic net regression provides a robust framework for understanding these complex relationships in commercial transportation behavior.

On the use of reactive multiparticle collision dynamics to gather particulate level information from simulations of epidemic models
Authors: Memon Zaib Un Nisa , Rohlf Katrin
Published: September 2024

This paper discusses the application of reactive multiparticle collision (RMPC) dynamics, a particle-based method, to epidemic models. First, we consider a susceptible-infectious-recovered (SIR) framework to obtain data on contacts of susceptibles with infectious people in a population. It is found that the number of contacts increases and the contact duration decreases with increases in disease transmission rate and average population speed. Next, we obtain reinfection statistics for a general infectious disease from RMPC simulations of a susceptible-infectious-recovered-susceptible (SIRS) model. Finally, we simulate a susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered (SEIR) model and gather the exposure, infection, and recovery time for the individuals in the population under consideration. It is worth mentioning that we can collect data in the form of average contact duration, average initial infection time, etc., from RMPC simulations of these models, which is not possible with population-based stochastic models, nor deterministic systems. This study provides quantitative insights on the potential of RMPC to simulate epidemic models and motivates future efforts for its application in the field of mathematical epidemiology.

From Single Cells to 3D Cultures
Authors:   , Hanemaaijer Evelyn Shupi
Published: September 2024

Pediatric cancer is rare and encompasses many cancer entities. It is the lead cause of childhood mortality, even though there has been an increase in overall survival over the years. This increase in survival was in part possible due to fundamental research on tumor biology, as well as testing on experimental models. In this thesis, we aimed to apply fundamental research techniques to better understand neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma biology and to develop new model systems that can help to identify novel treatments. We discuss a multi-cell-of-origin hypothesis for neuroblastoma, evidence based on both clinical and molecular studies. Through single cell sequencing of the developing murine adrenal gland we provide an in-depth depiction of the neural crest derivatives. The gene signature of the Schwann cell precursor (SCP) could be used to identify neuroblastoma tumors that were associated with a less severe disease phenotype. In a subsequent study we optimized the SCP signature and showed that, in a cohort of Princess Máxima Center patients, the SCP signature can stratify patients in groups with different prognoses. For medulloblastoma, we present a novel approach for growing medulloblastoma patient material in 3D, called medulloblastoma tumoroids. We used these tumoroids to test the efficacy of drugs currently in clinical trials for medulloblastoma. Finally, we speculate on the importance of fundamental research in pediatric oncology for the development of new treatments and risk stratification.
Tired of Politics? Survey Satisficing and Respondent Exposure to Political Content
Authors: Anson Ian
Published: September 2024

In this study I examine the effects of exposure to political content on survey satisficing in the United States. I theorize that American political content, due in part to its affective dimension in the present U.S. context, will deplete respondents' cognitive resources more intensively than content with identical item design from nonpolitical topic domains, leading to increased satisficing. I present the results of two preregistered survey experiments conducted in 2024 on the YouGov (N = 3,600) and Prolific (N = 1,245) platforms. In both studies I experimentally manipulate the topic of question batteries, and measure satisficing through attention checks, timing, and the data quality of downstream question batteries. These studies provide evidence that exposure to political content can increase satisficing behavior among survey respondents. The studies show that researchers should take care in the ordering of their questionnaires when surveys include content that invokes political actors, political parties and ideologies.
Reflexões sobre os conceitos da Teoria dos Estilos de Meyer para a performance musical
Authors: Cianbroni Samuel Henrique da Silva , Dos Santos Regina Antunes Teixeira
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar reflexões sobre estilo como um conceito multifacetado que vai além da questão de época/período em certa tradição cultural, envolvendo aspectos ideológicos e psicológicos. Vertentes em referência ao estilo são reveladas através da expressão (composição e performance/interpretação), da organização (análise) e da recepção (audição). Para Meyer, a caracterização dos estilos é dependente de níveis de restrição da linguagem musical, a saber: leis, regras e estratégias. Este conjunto de restrições é ainda demarcado em função do idioma e do dialeto compartilhados e/ou singularizados em uma dada região e época. Visto que tal postulação apresenta uma perspectiva teórico-musicológica e, sobretudo composicional, neste artigo é proposta uma ponderação sobre o percurso em direção à construção de estilos na performance musical, propondo uma disposição inversa à ordem dos elementos da Teoria, tendo principalmente o idioma como o elemento balizador para potencializar escolhas para a construção de uma performance.

Introduction

Antenatal care (ANC) services play a crucial role in safeguarding the health of pregnant women during their reproductive years. This study aimed to evaluate the primary factors influencing the utilization of ANC among women of childbearing age in Isari town, Jigawa State.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study among 400 mothers of childbearing age, selecting them using a simple random sampling method. Data were collected using interviewer-administered questionnaires. The statistical analyses performed were descriptive analysis, Pearson’s chi-square test, and binary logistic regression analysis.

Results

The majority of respondents (92.5%) indicated awareness of ANC, with a significant proportion expressing the necessity of ANC services (85.7%). 57.8% of the respondents indicated attending ANC services at least four times during pregnancy. Furthermore, the number of visits has a significant relationship with age (P < 0.001), educational level (P = 0.003), occupation (P = 0.043), mother’s knowledge of pregnancy danger signs (P = 0.001), and husband’s support for ANC (P < 0.001).

Conclusion

Enhancing ANC utilization will necessitate focusing on women residing in rural areas and those with limited educational attainment.

A Givónian perspective on the relation of verbal and non-verbal person suffixes in Hungarian
Authors: Alberti Gábor , Saypasheva Felvizi-Veress Anastasia , Ouma Atieno Linda , Farkas Judit
Published: September 2024

Our point of departure is Givón’s (2017) hypothesis that the sources of the affixes of pronominal agreement in person and number are the corresponding independent pronouns, and depending on whether the given type of agreement is diachronically young or old in a language, the etymological link to independent pronouns is highly transparent or rather tenuous. We claim, first, that the Nilo-Saharan Luo language serves as a better illustration of the ‘diachronically young’ type than Givón’s (1976, 2017) own poster-child examples. Hungarian, however, belongs to the ‘diachronically old’ type. Nevertheless, the synchronic system of Hungarian can be claimed to preserve the distinguished role of the pronominal basis in a strange but surprisingly regular way. We also illustrate two promising directions of future research concerning the expansion of the basic, personal-pronoun related, agreement markers. Their widespread proliferation in the morphology of several categories in all Uralic languages is itself obviously worth systematic comparative descriptive research, in the background of which it promises high-level explanatory adequacy to apply the morphosyntactic theory of person-hierarchy sensitive languages, especially to the analysis of such puzzling expressions as, for instance, engem ‘me’ (literally, ‘my-me’).

Authors: Davidyuk Tatiana
Published: September 2024

This study investigates agreement patterns in sentences with disjoined subjects, focusing on cases in the Russian language where the disjuncts differ in person. Using acceptability judgment experiments, I analyzed how different agreement patterns are rated by native speakers. The findings confirm that the resolved agreement received the highest ratings, while third-person plural, third-person singular and closest disjunct agreement are also possible patterns. These results align with patterns seen in conjoined subjects but show additional complexities unique to disjoined constructions. The type of conjunction (coordinating ili ‘or’ vs. correlative ili … ili ‘either … or’) did not significantly affect agreement patterns. This may suggest that the semantics of disjunction has little influence on the choice of agreement patterns, despite the correlative conjunction typically indicates an exclusive disjunc¬tion. Future research should explore the effects of different word orders and disjunctions with first and second-person pronouns to clarify these findings further.

A doença celíaca (DC), ou enteropatia sensível ao glúten, é uma condição autoimune que afeta o intestino delgado, sendo desencadeada pela ingestão de glúten em indivíduos geneticamente predispostos. O diagnóstico da DC evoluiu significativamente com o desenvolvimento de testes sorológicos e biópsias intestinais, além da genotipagem para haplótipos HLA-DQ2 e HLA-DQ8. A prevalência da doença tem aumentado globalmente, com manifestações que variam de sintomas gastrointestinais clássicos a manifestações extraintestinais, o que torna o diagnóstico desafiador. O tratamento permanece restrito à adoção de uma dieta isenta de glúten (DIG), mas a adesão pode ser difícil devido à contaminação cruzada e ao impacto na qualidade de vida. Cerca de 20% dos pacientes podem não responder à dieta, levando a condições como a doença celíaca refratária. A pesquisa está em andamento para terapias alternativas, incluindo enzimas para degradar o glúten e vacinas para induzir tolerância. A DC está frequentemente associada a outras condições autoimunes, o que reforça a necessidade de um acompanhamento multidisciplinar contínuo. Este artigo revisa o manejo da doença celíaca, destacando avanços no diagnóstico e tratamento e explorando os desafios enfrentados pelos pacientes.

A esquizofrenia é um distúrbio neuropsiquiátrico complexo que se manifesta por sintomas como delírios, alucinações e dificuldades cognitivas, impactando severamente a vida dos pacientes. Embora a etiologia desse transtorno envolva componentes genéticos e neuroquímicos, estudos recentes sugerem que o microbioma intestinal desempenha um papel crucial em sua patogênese. Esta revisão explora a ligação entre a composição microbiana intestinal e a esquizofrenia, avaliando as evidências mais recentes sobre as alterações microbianas observadas em indivíduos diagnosticados, os mecanismos fisiopatológicos associados e as possíveis intervenções terapêuticas. Há indicações de que pessoas com esquizofrenia apresentam um desequilíbrio em sua microbiota intestinal, com redução de microrganismos benéficos e aumento de bactérias que promovem inflamação, contribuindo para processos neuroinflamatórios. A revisão também discute o potencial terapêutico de intervenções que modulam a microbiota, como o uso de probióticos, prebióticos e transplantes de microbiota fecal, que têm mostrado promessas na melhora de sintomas psiquiátricos e funções cognitivas.

Published: September 2024

Writing a thesis in English is challenging for students, especially Indonesian Master's students for whom English is not their first language. Inherently, each chapter presents challenges to address when organizing a thesis. One of the crucial parts of the thesis is the conclusion chapter. It serves as a summary and a place to express suggestions and potential lines for further study. Thus, this study examined how Indonesian students wrote conclusion chapters of TEFL Master's theses. A total corpus of 3897 words was generated as the present study's data. Based on Chen & Kuo (2012) as the analytical framework of the present study, we found that move 2 step 1 (summarizing the study) was frequently used. Both move 1 (introducing the conclusion) and move 3 (evaluating) are obligatory. We also found optional moves and steps providing supporting and complementary roles: Move 4, step 2, and Move 3, step 1. These findings indicate that Indonesian master's students in the TEFL program used the conclusion writing of genre-based method characterized by the ability to adapt to conventional genre-framework and add additional steps. Understanding and using these variations can help Indonesian students craft concluding chapters that demonstrate scholarly engagement and the academic rigor of their study.
