Low XIST expression in Sertoli cells of Klinefelter syndrome patients causes high susceptibility of these cells to an extra X chromosome

Published: May 2023

Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most common genetic cause of human male infertility. However, the effect of the extra X chromosome on different testicular cell types remains poorly understood. Here, we profiled testicular single-cell transcriptomes from three KS patients and normal karyotype control individuals. Among the different somatic cells, Sertoli cells showed the greatest transcriptome changes in KS patients. Further analysis showed that X-inactive-specific transcript (XIST), a key factor that inactivates one X chromosome in female mammals, was widely expressed in each testicular somatic cell type but not in Sertoli cells. The loss of XIST in Sertoli cells leads to an increased level of X chromosome genes, and further disrupts their transcription pattern and cellular function. This phenomenon was not detected in other somatic cells such as Leydig cells and vascular endothelial cells. These results proposed a new mechanism to explain why testicular atrophy in KS patients is heterogeneous with loss of seminiferous tubules but interstitial hyperplasia. Our study provides a theoretical basis for subsequent research and related treatment of KS by identifying Sertoli cell-specific X chromosome inactivation failure.
Daoist Eco-Humanism and the Authenticity of Natural Life beyond Deontological Ethics
Authors: Rošker Jana S.
Published: May 2023

Recently, much work has been put into the scholarly understanding and interpretation of the complexities of the Daoist tradition. This includes a critical exploration of its contribution to contemporary environmental issues. In this paper, the author reflects on the intersection of Daoist humanism and ecology and highlights the theoretical and historical implications associated with the Daoist approach to the environment. These starting points can tell us much about how Daoist philosophical thought can be successfully connected to humanism and the sciences of ecology and the environment. The article points to the possibility of an alternative worldview that can help us, in our limited time and space, nonetheless find the possibility of living some kind of sustainable yet here-and-now moment. In doing so, the author starts from some key questions found in classical texts. Through her analyzes, she examines the potential applicability of classical Daoist thought and practice in China and in the West, both in relation to the modern ecological crisis and to the role and place of human beings within nature and society.
Muhammad U. FARUQUE: Sculpting the Self: Islam, Selfhood and Human Flourishing
Authors: Shaker Anthony F.
Published: May 2023

The subject of the self has been around, arguably, since people first began to systematize their thinking about the world and themselves, though it has never been studied as systematically as in the last fourteen centuries. That is to say, after the foundations of institutional learning and scientific investigation had been laid in the Islamicate world, more or less in the form we take for granted today. In this thoughtful and deeply knowledgeable study, Prof. Muhammad U. Faruque turns his attention to a set of themes at a moment of “major crisis” for the “theories of selfhood and subjectivity”. The crisis he has in mind is conceptual in nature and attributable to the myriad technological innovations that have overturned virtually every claim about selfhood inspired by neuroscience, analytic philosophy, phenomenology, anthropology and religious studies.
Perspectives on Chinese, Buddhist, and Environmental Philosophy
Authors: Nelson Eric S.
Published: May 2023

Appeals to the significance of a culture, tradition, or way of life can simultaneously edify and alienate different audiences as they serve an identity-forming and other-excluding function. The imaginary that some cultures are civilized and complex and others natural and simple has been complexly mediated through the historical entanglements and interactions between, on the one hand, colonialism and Eurocentrism and, on the other, varieties of anti-colonial resistance and the postcolonial formation of contemporary national, cultural, and religious identities. It is in this context that claims of the ostensible intrinsic naturalness and “greenness” of a culture or tradition are perceived and debated.

Background: Stroke is a common cardiovascular disease and the biggest cause of death and disability in the world. Treatment in affected patients aims to stabilise their condition and prevent further deterioration. One of the therapies in stroke patients is the administration of antiplatelet which may also cause adverse reactions in the form of gastrointestinal bleeding.
Objectives: This study aims to analyse the factors that can predict the emergence of gastrointestinal bleeding in hospitalised Ischemic stroke patients.     
Methods: A cohort study was conducted within a population of hospitalised patients diagnosed with Ischemic stroke. Patients' data from the hospital stroke registry was analysed. The significance of factors that can predict gastrointestinal bleeding incidence and the main predictor was determined.
Results: The results showed that out of the 96 patients included, 49 experienced gastrointestinal bleeding. Factors that had significant relationships with the incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding were symptoms of decreased consciousness with OR 9.03; 95% CI: 3.361 – 24.22, and loading dose OR 5.769; 95% CI: 1.191 – 27.941. In addition, the main predicting factor was symptoms of decreased consciousness with a p < 0.05 (<0.010), and OR value of 2.165 with 95% CI: 3.177 – 23.906.     
Conclusion: The occurrence of decreased consciousness can be a predictor of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Forward Kinematics Based Prediction for Bending Motion of Soft Pneumatic Actuators with Various Air Chambers
Authors: Do Phuoc Thien  , Le Hoai Phuong
Published: May 2023

This study proposes a forward kinematic model for soft actuators that utilize pneumatic control to predict their bending motion, which is simulated using Ansys software. Firstly, a bending motion test is conducted with a 2-air chamber actuator to derive an equation that establishes the relationship between the bending angle and input pressure. Next, a serial model for the overall soft actuator is developed using forward kinematics with the DH method. The angle variables in the soft actuator are then replaced with an equation that relates the deformed angle and compressed air. Finally, the proposed serial model is used to predict the bending motion of 4-air and 6-air chamber actuators, and the results are compared to simulations and real experiments. The comparison shows that the proposed model could accurately predict the bending motion of the real actuators within an acceptable tolerance of 10%.

ФИГУРА ПЕСНИКА У ЦИКЛУСУ „КРИТИКА ПОЕЗИЈЕ” БРАНКА МИЉКОВИЋА
Authors: З. Арва Сара
Published: May 2023

The aim of this research was to analyse the figure of the poet within the cycle „The Criticism of Poetry” from Miljković’s book of poetry Origin of Hope (1960). By interpreting several poems from the presented cycle, this paper questions the position of the lyrical subject, while seeking out the possibilities of the lyrical self being identified with poets and thus interpreted as a poetic subject – a poet within the poem or a poet who possibly leads metapoetic dialogues with other poets. The figure of the poet is also considered through Nietzsche’s and Hegel’s philosophical approach to the ambivalent knowledge that is inherent to contemplatives and creators, but which conditions their destruction as well. Through the end of the cycle, this research also problematizes the social position of the poet and the possibility of interpreting the cycle through the title inversion – as poetry of criticism – criticism of future poetics, the disappearance of poetic language, poems and poets in general.
РАНЕ ПЈЕСНИЧКЕ ЗБИРКЕ ТИНА УЈЕВИЋА
Authors: А. Ђорем Борис
Published: May 2023

В виде общего обзора мы указали наиболее важные черты первых сборников сти- хов Тина Уевича, Плач себра 1920 г. и Колайна 1926 г., сборников, которые – поэтически, стилистически, по письму и языку – в равной степени принадлежат к сербской и хорват- ской литературе в первые три десятилетия 20-го века. Мы также попытались указать на обстоятельства создания сборников, тематические и мотивные особенности стихотворе- ний из них, а также на своеобразное отношение книги к модерну и авангарду в литературе. Плач себра и Колайна, его первые книги, отличаются по форме, темам и мотивам от других, которые он опубликовал или имел в рукописи. В 34 песнях в первой и 48 во второй книге излилась вся душа, всё, с чем она борется, что ей мешает. Боль ни в коем случае не искус- ственная, это не просто поза. Сегодня многим трудно понять, что книги изначально были напечатаны на кирил- лице и экавице, потому что более поздние издания поэзии Тина Уевича содержат стихи из сборников иекавского и такие связанные стихи в литературных центрах (бывшая Югос- лавия), изданные без исключения на иекавице. Экавица имеет не политическую, а, нао- борот, поэтическую черту. Все последующие восклицания, исходили ли они от редактора или от самого писателя, вели к потере единства фразы, утрате музыкальности, нарушению метрики, т.е. получение девять слогов в ушерб восьми, а также получение тринадцать и четырнадцать слогов в ущерб двенадцати. И особенно двенадцатый не является противо- естественным в южнославянской литературе – его пели в дубровницкой литературе, а в народной литературе двенадцатый есть в лирических песнях, а также в богатырских песнях и причитаниях.

Published: May 2023

В статье рассматриваются рассказы на тему смерти в раннем творчестве современ- ного русского писателя Виктора Пелевина. Литературная переработка инстинктов жизни и смерти приобрела ярко выраженный смысл в постмодернистской поэтике и современ- ном литературном процессе в России, тогда как в творчестве Виктора Пелевина особенно отразилась в 90-е годы ХХ века в связи с экзистенциальной проблематикой переходного периода. В статье анализируются три характерных текста Пелевина с такой мотивной осно- вой с целью выделения некоторых ключевых закономерностей отношения автора к фено- мену смерти. Выбор рассказов («Вести из Непала», «Мордонги» и «Бубен Верхнего мира») мотивировался тем, что в этих текстах наиболее конкретно проявлялись танатологические мотивы, и таким образом была выработана модель, которая будет повторятся в более позд- ном периоде творчества писателя.

The paper first deals with the basic theoretical assumptions concerning the genre definition of travelog. Taking into account the history and development of travelogue as a literary-scientific genre, one of the key issues is the relationship between factography and fiction. Dealing with this relationship, the relationship to other genres is also taken into account. In the second part of the paper, Savannah Grace’s travelog I grew my boobs in China was analyzed, as an example of the narrative possibilities that the development of modern technologies offer, and show how the travelogue genre has adapted to the 21st century. In the end, we will conclude that the travelogue has found its place in the contemporary discourse and that it is a very lively genre, and that it represents a fertile ground for narrative production.
REWRITING GENDER NARRATIVES IN KAMALA MARKANDAYA’S POSSESSION
Authors: P. Mužar Ana
Published: May 2023

Through the analysis of Kamala Markandaya’s Possession, this paper delves into postcolonial gender narratives that question the colonial and patriarchal mode of thought traditionally shaping gender discourse and thus shows how social and cultural paradigms determine the postcolonial gender roles and power relations in the novel. The aim of the paper is to elucidate how the interconnectedness of race, class and gender redefines the very norms of gender identity, defying gender-stereotypical narratives. This paper discloses that gender roles are constructed by the social, cultural and historical context rather than biology itself. Therefore, femininity does not necessarily correlate only with female sex, just as masculinity is not inextricably linked only with male sex. Still, female energy is continually suppressed by the dominant masculine social framework. Furthermore, the analysis of the novel reveals that the Western vs. non-Western dichotomy can be likened to the male vs. female one – the colonizer assuming male identity, the colonized female one.

LES CORRESPONDANCES INTERTEXTUELLES ENTRE CHARLES BAUDELAIRE ET RICHARD WAGNER
Authors: M. Lujić Natasa
Published: May 2023

Dans un premier temps, cet article aborde la relation intertextuelle entre l’oeuvre du poète français Charles Baudelaire et celle du compositeur allemand Richard Wagner. Dans un deuxième temps, nous allons nous intéresser à la musicalité que l’on retrouve dans la poésie de Baudelaire à travers trois poèmes : Correspondances, Le Chat I et La Musique. Afin d’examiner les poèmes et d’en tirer des conclusions, nous avons utilisé la méthode intertextuelle. De plus, cette oeuvre tend à éclairer la musicalité de l’oeuvre poétique de Baudelaire. Lorsque Baudelaire a vu l’opéra Tannhäuser de Wagner joué à Paris, il a tout de suite été séduit par la musique du compositeur allemand. Après avoir vu les réactions négatives des spectateurs et des critiques français, Baudelaire, également critiqué par le public français à la suite de la publication de son recueil Les Fleurs du Mal, savait qu’il devait prendre parti pour Wagner afin de protéger l’art. Baudelaire a écrit une lettre au compositeur dans laquelle il tend à exprimer son admiration pour la musique et pour le compositeur lui-même. Après avoir découvert cette lettre, nous avons souhaité approfondir nos recherches sur le sujet.

The subject of this paper is the analysis of errors made in tests from Libya during the intermediate course of Serbian (realized in 1981 at the People’s University in Kruševac). This paper aims to identify and classify the most common mistakes of Arabic speakers when learning Serbian. The research material consisted of twenty-eight tests, which the students solved after the first ten lessons. We used a descriptive method, the method of theoretical analysis with the technique of analysis of archival content and the contrastive method analysis. Statistical analysis of students’ answers showed that out of a total of 420, as many as 338 answers (80.48%) were partially correct, 27 answers (6.43%) correct, 4 answers (0.95%) incorrect, while students did not give 51 answers (12.14%). The students made the most mistakes at the morphological level (197), then at the orthographic level (110) and, of course, at the syntactic level (35). Errors occurred for at least four reasons: 1) insufficient mastery of the grammatical system of Serbian literary language (given the fact that they conducted the test after only ten lessons), 2) the impact of the process of non-differentiation, i.e. indistinguishability of grammatical categories due to their non-existence in native Arabic, 3) the influence of super differentiation, i.e. the introduction of features from the Arabic language (which are not characteristic of Serbian) and 5) the appearance of hypercorrection.

Taking into account all the complexity of the case of this polemic (seriality, multiple intentionality; explicit and implicit poetics of serial polemics; the status of actors and audience; the circumstances of the daily newspaper and the Belgrade poetic bohemian circle, as well as Drainac’s overall poetics), we come to the conclusion of the multiple conditioned functionality of literary polemics, to which the specifics of the actor, topic and style contribute proportionately, but also the publication itself, whose choice, in the case of the serial polemic of the “ready” Drainac and the no less ready Ujević, is indicated by practical reasons and the desire for publicity.

The objective of this study was to design and validate an Augmented Gamified Environment (AGE) for improving communicative skills in students with ASD. The study used a mixed methodology: a) qualitative, focused on a single case to describe the AGE design process. The environment uses a pirate adventure story which includes gamified activities supported by augmented reality. It promotes immersive learning through activities that encourage social, linguistic, and cognitive skills linked to symbolic play; and b) quantitative, based on the Delphi method in which experts (N=12) evaluated the environment using 14 indicators in four dimensions: adaptability to the pace of learning, suitability of the base and code for presenting the content, didactic potential for developing competence, and the suitability of the gamification process for students with ASD. The expert assessment helped to improve the adaptability, flexibility, and functionality of the AGE, which incorporated versatile and augmented reality activities and applications to provide the student with playful linguistic and socio-emotional development in an immersive environment.

Background, Ependymal tumors are uncommon in intracranial tumors. Ependymal origin usually involves an intraventricular localization. Exceptional intraparenchymal extra ventricular locations have been described. We report a case of extra ventricular ependymoma managed in our department.

Description du cas. Une fillette de 8 ans a été admise pour une hémiparésie gauche qui progressait depuis deux semaines associée à des maux de tête chroniques. L’examen neurologique a noté une force musculaire évaluée à 4/5 dans l’hémicorps gauche. L’imagerie médicale a permis de mettre en évidence une masse pariétale temporale droite volumineuse mixte, intraparenchymateuse, évoquant d’abord un astrocytome diffus (grade II de l’OMS). Après excision totale macroscopique, l’histologie et l’immunohistochimie ont conclu qu’il s’agissait d’un épendymome de grade II de l’OMS. Cinq mois après l’opération, le patient était asymptomatique et la tomodensitométrie de contrôle n’était pas remarquable. Après un suivi de 4 ans, le patient est resté asymptomatique.

Conclusion. Le diagnostic d’épendymome extraventriculaire était une surprise histologique. L’ablation chirurgicale de cette lésion n’était pas un problème. Le cours était satisfaisant en l’absence de traitement adjuvant (chimiothérapie et/ou radiothérapie).
