Bursa Arkeoloji Müzesi ve Bilecik Müzesi’nden Frig (Anadolu) Tipi Fibulalar
Authors: ERPEHLİVAN Hüseyin
Published: March 2024

Bu makalede, Bursa Arkeoloji Müzesi ve Bilecik Müzesi depolarında bulunan yetmiş üç fibula, iki fibula iğnesi ve bir kemer tokasının değerlendirme ve analizi yapılmaktadır. Değerlendirilen fibulalar, Blinkenberg'in önerdiği sınıflandırma sistemine göre, Küçük Asya (Anadolu) veya Frig Tipi olarak bilinen kategori içerisinde Tip XII olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Ne yazık ki bu eserlerin önemli bir kısmı arkeolojik kontekstlerine ilişkin tutarlı verilerden yoksundur. Bununla birlikte, bu fibulaların onlarca yıl boyunca Kuzeybatı Anadolu'daki bölgelerden toplanmış olması makul bir tahmindir. Çalışma, antik fibulalara bir giriş yaparak, müze koleksiyonlarının içeriğini açıklayarak ve makalede kullanılan metodolojiyi tanımlayarak başlamaktadır. Daha sonra, seçilen eserlerin sınıflandırılması, kapsamlı bir katalog ve envanter bilgileri ile desteklenen Blinkenberg-Muscarella tipolojisine göre sıralama gerçekleştirilmiştir. Makalenin sonuç bölümlerinde bu eserlerin bölgesel bağlamı incelenmekte, Gordion ve diğer arkeolojik alanlardaki keşiflerle karşılaştırmalar yapılmakta ve teknik yönleriyle ilgili ayrıntılı gözlemler sunulmaktadır. Ayrıca makale, güncel Gordion kronolojisine göre tipolojik gruplara yönelik tarihlendirme önerilerini de kapsamaktadır. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına dayanarak makale kapsamında değerlendirilen tüm fibulaların Orta Anadolu'nun Orta Demir Çağı'na, özellikle de MÖ 900-600 zaman dilimine tarihlendirilebileceği öne sürülebilir. Bu tarihlendirmeler, arkeolojik kontekstlerle de uyum içinde olup, bu dönemde Anadolu'nun maddi kültürünün daha geniş bir şekilde anlaşılmasına dair değerli bilgiler sunmaktadır.
Bir Hitit Çağı Masalı: “Appu ve İki Oğlu
Authors: REYHAN Esma , CENGIZ Tülın
Published: March 2024

Hitit Çağına ait, kayıt altına alınmış en eski anlatılardan biri olan Appu Masalı, bünyesinde barındırdığı çocuksuzluk motifi, zıtların mücadelesi döngüsü ve adaleti temel alan kurgusuyla Anadolu’nun binlerce yıl öncesinin, toplumsal değerlerine ve kültürel simgelerine ışık tutmaktadır.

Masalın metni, iyi korunmuş olmakla birlikte, II. ve IV. sütunun son kısımları kırıktır. Masal, Šudul kentinde yaşayan Appu adında varlıklı bir adamın çocuksuzluğunu konu edinmiştir. Güneş tanrısına sunduğu bir adak yardımıyla, özlemini duyduğu çocuğa sahip olan Appu’nun doğal yollardan ikinci bir çocuğu daha olmuştur. Çocuklardan ikisi de erkektir. İlk doğan çocuğun adı “Kötü”, ikinci doğan çocuğun adı “İyi” dir. Yetişkinlik çağına geldiklerinde kendi hayatlarını kurmak için baba evinden ayrılan kardeşler arasında bir mal paylaşımı gerçekleşir. “Kötü”, kardeşini aldatarak mülkün iyisini kendisine ayırır. Bu duruma tanıklık eden Güneş tanrısı adaleti sağlamak için dereye girer. Hikâyenin yazılı olduğu tablet bu kısımdan itibaten kırılmış olduğu için olayın geri kalanı hakkındaki bilinenler çok azdır. Okunabilen kısımlardan, son durumdan memnun olmayan “Kötü”nün, lanetler yağdırması üzerine davayı sonuçlandırmak istemeyen Güneş tanrısının, adaletin tecellisi için kardeşleri Ninive Kenti’nin İštarı’na yönlendirdiği anlaşılmaktadır. Tabletin kırıklı yapısı nedeniyle masalın sonu öğrenilemese de hakkaniyetle özdeşleşmiş olan bu tanrıçanın “İyi” ye övgü dolu sözler sarf etmesinden, adalet terazisinin iyiden yana ağır bastığı söylenebilir.

Masalları, “kültürün gizli arşivlerinden biri” olarak kabul eden bir bakış açısıyla kaleme alınan bu çalışmada, Anadolu’nun en eski anlatılardan birinin içerik analizi yapılırken dönemin belge ve bilgilerinden yararlanılmıştır.
Antik Lykaonia Kentlerinin İnşa Faliyetlerinde ve Sosyal Hayatında Euergesia Olgusu
Authors: KURT Mehmet
Published: March 2024

Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi’nde kendi kaynakları yanında, imparatorlar tarafından da kentlerin imarına katkıda bulunulduğu bilinmektedir. Bu durumun en iyi örneklerinden birisini de Lykaonia bölgesi oluşturmaktadır. Augustus (MÖ 27-MS 14) tarafından kurulmuş olan Ikonium (Konya) ve Lystra (Hatunsaray) gibi kolonilerde imparatorluk kaynaklarıyla kamu binalarının inşa edildiği bilinmektedir. Ayrıca Augustus’un halefleri döneminde ve özellikle de Claudius’un (MS 41-54) kapsamlı kentleşme faaliyetleri sayesinde Lykaonia’da kurulmuş olan kentlerde imparatorluk tarafından finanse edilen çok sayıda kamu yapısı inşa edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda Laodikeia Combusta (Ladik), Ikonium, Lystra, Pappa/Tiberiopolis (Yunuslar) ve Misthia/Claudiocaesarea (Beyşehir) gibi kentlerle bunların territoriumlarında değişik imparatorlara ithaf edilen yazıtlar ele geçirilmiştir. Söz konusu yazıtlar imparatorların kentlere yapmış oldukları hizmetlerin ve iyiliklerin birer göstergesi olmalıdır. Yazıtlardan imparatorların yanında muhtemelen Lykaonia kentlerindeki imar faaliyetlerine desteklerinden dolayı imparator yakınlarının da onurlandırıldığı anlaşılmaktadır. Öte yandan euergetes adı verilen hayırseverler de Lykaonia kentlerindeki imar faaliyetleri ve sosyal hayatın zenginleşmesine masraflarını kendileri karşılayarak ya da bağışta bulunmak suretiyle yapılar inşa ettirerek katkıda bulunmuşlardır. Öyle ki Lykaonia bölgesinden ele geçmiş çok sayıda yazıt, bölgedeki imar faaliyetlerinde euergesia olgusunun önemli bir yere sahip olduğu ve şehir meclislerinin euergetes denilen hayırseverleri onurlandırdıklarını göstermektedir.

Cavitation significantly impacts the performance of hydraulic machinery. However, cavitation is complex, and the evolution of complex vortical structures in cavitating flow requires further investigation. In this study, the unsteady cavitating flow around a NACA0009 hydrofoil with gap sizes of 1 mm and 10 mm is simulated using grid-adaptive simulation (GAS), which is a novel hybrid method that modifies the turbulent viscosity based on the Kolmogorov energy spectrum. The prediction accuracy of GAS is validated by comparing with experimental and LES results, demonstrating its superiority compared to the scale-adaptive simulation. A detailed study on the effect of gap size with an emphasis on the evolution of complex vortical structures is performed. It is discovered that the gap size plays a crucial role in the development of complex flow structures, as well as their interactions. Moreover, as the gap size increases, the two-layer structure of tip leakage vortex (TLV) becomes more pronounced. The inner TLV core region is generated by the vorticity transport from tip to the TLV. The outer layer structure is formed by the mainstream, tip separation vortex and leakage flow. The complex outer layer significantly influences the stability of the TLV and cavities. The investigation on the TLV structure in this study of cavitation flow aligns with the previous conclusions in compressors, indicating that two-layer structure of the TLV is a universal phenomenon.

Изучение раннесредневекового костюма Бухарского оазиса на основе терракоты
Authors: Султанова Н.Ш.
Published: March 2024

История одежды с древнейших времен до наших дней – это зеркало, в котором отражается все прошлое человечества. Среди материальных и духовных культурных памятников она рассматривается как критерий, отражающий национальную идентичность народа и демонстрирующий его этнические особенности. Археологические находки показывают, что одежда появилось в самые ранние периоды развития человека. Одежда является неотъемлимой частью повседневной жизни, поэтому её эволюцию можно изучать на основе сохранившихся материальных образцов прошлых веков. Узнать, как одевались наши предки, можно с помощью миниатюр, фотографий, настенной живописи, рукописных источников и археологических находок. Например, люди делали глиняные фигурки богов, которым они поклонялись. Одежда этих фигурок и стала объектом нашего изучения. В статье проведен анализ терракот и изображенных на них предметов одежды и украшений. Фокус внимания автора был сосредоточен на терракотах, представленных в фондах и музейных экспозициях Бухарского государственного музея-заповедника. Проанализированы их сходства и различия. Рассмотренные детали одежды использованы как источник по истории костюма региона периода раннего средневековья. (Публикация на английском языке).
The history of clothing from ancient times to the present day is a mirror in which the entire past of mankind is reflected. Among the material and spiritual cultural landmarks, they are considered as a criterion reflecting the national identity of peoples and showing their ethnic characteristics. Since clothing is considered the main part of everyday life, we can study it by looking at the preserved material samples of the past. We can analyze the clothes of the previous periods with the help of miniatures, photographs, wall decorations, handwritten sources and archaeological finds. Archaeological finds show that clothing appeared in the earliest periods of human development. People made clay figurines of the gods they worshipped, and we study the patterns of clothing on these figurines. This article discusses costumes based on terracottas found during archaeological excavations. The author focused on the terracotta figurines stored in the fund of the Bukhara State Museum-Reserve and in museum expositions. Their similarities and differences were analyzed. The considered clothing details are used as a source on the history of the costume of the region during the early Middle Ages.
Женские групповые практики на примере «женских кругов»: история, структура, функции, лидеры и участники
Authors: Гуревич К.В.
Published: March 2024

В статье рассматривается концепция женских кругов — групп, созданных женщинами для общения, поддержки и развития в различных сферах жизни. Исследование основано на анализе результатов опросов, цифровых данных, интервью с участницами кругов, а также на включенном наблюдении за ними в период с декабря 2021 г. по сентябрь 2022 г. Одним из главных выводов автора является то, что многие женщины присоединяются к этим видам объединений, чтобы улучшить свое эмоциональное и духовное состояние. Общение в женских кругах позволяет женщинам поделиться своими эмоциями, получить поддержку и наставления от других участниц, а также развить личностные качества и умения. Кроме того, некоторые женщины присоединяются к женским кругам с надеждой на продвижение в карьере или для того, чтобы наладить свою личную жизнь. В рамках коллективных встреч они имеют возможность получить не только практическую помощь и советы, но поддержку и взаимодействие с другими женщинами, которые находятся в похожих ситуациях. Участницы считают, что женские круги могут служить не только средством для улучшения настроения, но и для достижения конкретных целей в различных областях жизни.
This article explores the concept of women's circles — groups created by women to communicate, support each other, and inspire self-development in various aspects of life. The study is based on the analysis of the results of surveys, digital research and interviews with the participants of women's circles. One of the main conclusions of the article is that women in general join women's circles hoping to improve their emotional and spiritual well-being. Participation in women's circles allows them to share their emotions, receive support and guidance from other participants, and develop their personal qualities and skills. In addition, some women join women's circles in an attempt to advance in their careers or to improve their personal lives. Within women’s circles, they can receive not only practical help and advice, but also support and advice of other women who are in a similar situation. Thus, women’s circles can serve not only to improve emotional and spiritual well-being, but also to achieve specific goals in various areas of life.
Религиозная идентичность русского населения Республики Татарстан: деконструкция или локализация традиции
Authors: Козлов В.Е. , Титова Т.А.
Published: March 2024

В статье проанализированы особенности религиозной идентичности у русского населения Республики Татарстан. Охарактеризовано ее место в структуре социальных идентичностей, роль в повседневной и духовной жизни у различных социально-демографических групп русских. Выявлены предпочтения в религиозных практиках и их взаимосвязь с этнокультурными потребностями у горожан и сельских жителей. Теоретической основой исследования является герменевтический подход, позволяющий интерпретировать феномены социальной реальности, имеющие высокую символическую значимость. Источником для теоретических обобщений послужили материалы комплексного этносоциологического исследования современного русского населения Республики Татарстан, проведенного осенью 2022 г. с использованием как количественных (массовый опрос), так и качественных (глубинные интервью, фокус-группа) методов. Полученные результаты свидетельствуют о сложном характере взаимосвязи религиозного, этнокультурного и секулярного в различных социальных и демографических группах русских Татарстана.
In the article we examined the religious identity of the Russian population in the Tatarstan Republic, characterized its place in the structure of social identities and its role in the daily and spiritual life of different socio-demographic groups of Russians. We also revealed the preferences in religious practices and their interrelation with the ethno-cultural needs of urban and rural people. The theoretical basis of the research is the hermeneutic approach which allows to interpret the symbolic significance of the social reality phenomena. The theoretical generalizations are based on the data of a comprehensive ethno-sociological study of modern Russian population in Tatarstan conducted in the autumn of 2022 using both quantitive (mass survey) and qualitive (in-depth interview, focus group) methods. The results obtained show the complex nature of interaction between the religion, ethnic culture and the secularity in different social and demographical groups of Russians in Tatarstan.
Бегущая по волнам времени. Строительство и первые испытания увеличенной копии модели микронезийского каноэ из Центрального военно-морского музея
Authors: Лебедева А.А.
Published: March 2024

Статья является второй в серии исследований модели каноэ жителей Маршалловых островов, построенной по чертежам, сделанным во время экспедиции русского мореплавателя О. Е. Коцебу (1787–1846) и хранящейся в Центральном военно-морском музее. Первая статья была посвящена истории создания самой модели, а также теоретическому рассмотрению феномена микронезийского судостроения и истории миграций протомикронезийцев на отдаленные архипелаги Тихого океана. Чтобы не повторяться, оставляем ссылку на эту публикацию (Лебедева 2020). На тот момент работа была закончена на стадии снятия обмеров с модели и создания 3D копии. Во второй статье описывается дальнейшая работа с полученными данными. Они были использованы для построения увеличенной копии модели и экспериментов с ней на открытой воде с целью анализа особенностей поведения каноэ в различных ветро-волновых условиях. Такие эксперименты, в свою очередь необходимы для понимания мореходных возможностей микронезийских судов в том навигационном и географическом окружении, в котором происходило освоение островов Пацифики.
This article is the second one in a series of studies of the model of the Micronesian canoe of the Marshall Islands from the Central Naval Museum, built according to the drawings made during the expedition of Otto von Kotzebue. The first article was devoted to the history of the creation of the model itself and a theoretical consideration of Micronesian shipbuilding and the migrations of Proto-Micronesians to the remote archipelagos of the Pacific Ocean (Lebedeva 2020). It also described the process of taking measurements from the model and creating a 3D copy. The present article is devoted to further work with these data, used to build an enlarged copy of the model. The model was tested in open water to analyze the canoe’s behavior in various wind-wave conditions. Such experiments are necessary to understand the seafaring capabilities of Micronesian ships in the navigational and geographic environment in which the development of the Pacific islands took place.
Старообрядцы юго-восточной Беларуси в середине ХІХ – начале ХХ в.: особенности расселения и динамика численности
Authors: Овсейчик В.Е.
Published: March 2024

В статье выявляются особенности расселения и прослеживается динамика численности старообрядцев в юго-восточной части Беларуси на основе статистических и демографических данных середины ХІХ–начала ХХ в. В соответствии с административно-территориальным делением этого периода географические рамки исследования ограничены центральной и южной частями Могилевской губернии, а также юго-восточными уездами Минской губернии. Анализ источников показал, что в данный период на этой территории проживало значительное количество русских староверов. По их численности регион был лидером на белорусских землях. Согласно официальным данным, в 1860-е гг. здесь насчитывалось около 20 тыс. староверов, а в 1914 г. – свыше 45 тыс. В юго-восточной части страны в середине ХІХ–начале ХХ в. старообрядческое население довольно компактно проживало на территории Гомельского, Бобруйского, Могилевского, Игуменского и Рогачевского уездов. В регионе локализировались два больших ареала расселения старообрядцев: Гомельско-Ветковский и Бобруйский. Основное количество староверов юго-восточной Беларуси в исследуемый период проживало в сельской местности, а доля горожан была небольшой. Основным городским центром региона, где насчитывалось значительное число старообрядческого населения, был Гомель. Некоторое количество также фиксировалось в Бобруйске, Рогачеве и Речице. В других городах региона старообрядцы не жили.
The article focuses on the settlement patterns and the dynamics of the number of Old Believers in the south-eastern part of Belarus based on statistical and demographic data of the mid-19th - early 20th century. The geographical framework of the research is limited to the central and southern parts of the Mogilev Province and the south-eastern districts of the Minsk Province according to the administrative division of that period. The analysis of the sources showed that during this period a significant number of Russian Old Believers lived in this territory, more than in any other Belorussian region. According to official data, in the 1860s there were about 20 thousand Old Believers, and in 1914 – over 45 thousand. In the middle of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Old Believers' population lived rather compactly in Gomel, Bobruisk, Mogilev, Igumen and Rogachyov districts. Two big areas of their settlement were localized in the region: Gomel-Vetka and Bobruisk. Most Old Believers in the south-eastern Belarus resided in rural areas, and the share of city dwellers was small during the investigated period. Gomel was the main urban centre of the region with a significant number of Old Believers. Some of them also lived in in Bobruisk, Rogachev and Rechitsa. There were no Old Believers in other cities of the region.
Русины Галиции глазами посетителей из России (1914–1917 гг.)
Authors: Парфирьев Д.С.
Published: March 2024

В статье на материале широкого круга релевантных свидетельств показано то, как русские посетители воспринимали и описывали русинов Галиции, занятой русскими войсками во время Первой мировой войны. С началом военных действий многие жители России, прежде почти не знавшие этого региона, в основном военнослужащие, получили возможность соприкоснуться с его восточнославянским населением. Опыт взаимодействия с русинами показал, что лозунги властей и правой публицистики о «чисто русском» характере Галиции и её жителей не соответствуют действительности: быт, внешний облик и язык русинов устойчиво ассоциировались не с русскими вообще, а именно с малороссами, униатское богослужение обнаруживало заметные отличия от православного, а лояльность местного населения русским войскам вызывала большие сомнения. Больше всего русинам не доверяли военные, особенно после неудач России на Юго-Западном фронте летом 1915 г.

Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nose and paranasal sinus cavities that significantly affects well-being and social function, particularly in young adults and middle-aged populations. CRSwNP is a common health condition in the Western world, with an estimated prevalence of 3%. Despite worldwide evidence-based treatment guidelines such as the European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (EPOS) 2020 and the European Forum for Research and Education in Allergy and Airway Diseases (EUFOREA) chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) pocket guide, a significant number of patients remain undiagnosed and/or uncontrolled with repeated oral corticosteroids (OCS) treatments and/or (multiple) endoscopic sinus surgeries (ESS).
Isolation and identification of a novel phage targeting clinical multidrug-resistant Corynebacterium striatum isolates
Authors: Wang Jiao , Zhang Meng , Pei Jiao , Yi Wei , Fan Li , Wang Chunhua , Xiao Xiao
Published: March 2024

Introduction

Over the past decade, Corynebacterium striatum (C. striatum), an emerging multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogen, has significantly challenged healthcare settings, especially those involving individuals with weakened immune systems. The rise of these superbugs necessitates innovative solutions.

Methods

This study aimed to isolate and characterize bacteriophages targeting MDR-C. striatum. Utilizing 54 MDR-C. striatum isolates from a local hospital as target strains, samples were collected from restroom puddles for phage screening. Dot Plaque and Double-layer plate Assays were employed for screening.

Results

A novel temperate bacteriophage, named CSP1, was identified through a series of procedures, including purification, genome extraction, sequencing, and one-step growth curves. CSP1 possesses a 39,752 base pair circular double-stranded DNA genome with HK97-like structural proteins and potential for site-specific recombination. It represents a new species within the unclassified Caudoviricetes class, as supported by transmission electron microscopy, genomic evolutionary analysis, and collinearity studies. Notably, CSP1 infected and lysed 21 clinical MDR-C. striatum isolates, demonstrating a wide host range.

Background

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is associated with aberrant gene expression that is a common peripheral vascular disease. Here, we aimed to elucidate that the epigenetic modification of forkhead box protein 3 (FOXP3) at the post-transcriptional level, which might be the key trigger leading to the down-regulation of FOXP3 expression in DVT.

Methods

In order to explore the relationship between microRNAs (miRNAs) and FOXP3, mRNA and microRNA microarray analysis were performed. Dual luciferase reporter assay was used to verify the upstream miRNAs of FOXP3. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, flow cytometry and Western blot were used to detect the relative expression of miR-6132 and FOXP3. Additionally, DVT models were established to investigate the role of miR-6132 by Murine Doppler Ultrasound and Hematoxylin-Eosin staining.

Results

Microarray and flow cytometry results showed that the FOXP3 expression was decreased while miR-6132 level was increased substantially in DVT, and there was significant negative correlation between miR-6132 and FOXP3. Moreover, we discovered that overexpressed miR-6132 reduced FOXP3 expression and aggravated DVT formation, while miR-6132 knockdown increased FOXP3 expression and alleviated DVT formation. Dual luciferase reporter assay validated the direct binding of miR-6132 to FOXP3.

Conclusion

Collectively, our data elucidate a new avenue through which up-regulated miR-6132 contributes to the formation and progression of DVT by inhibiting FOXP3 expression.

The precise characterization of the rock microstructure is crucial for predicting the physical characteristics, flow behavior, and mechanical properties of rocks. This is particularly important for carbonate rocks, which depict a complex microstructure with multimodal pore radius distribution and natural fractures. Here, topological features that are typically ignored are taken into account to quantify the carbonate microstructure. Carbonate samples used are obtained from the Gaoshiti–Moxi block of the Sichuan Basin, which showed remarkable potential for oil and gas. Specifically, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP) techniques are performed to describe the topological and geometric characteristics. The results indicate that NMR and MICP techniques can describe more rock pores than micro-CT. However, due to the presence of pore shielding in MICP tests, the pore radius obtained by MICP is smaller than that obtained by micro-CT and NMR. Furthermore, the effective method used for characterizing the pore structure is NMR technology. The hardest part is that the coefficient between the pore radius and T2 relaxation time is difficult to calculate. Therefore, a better calculation method must be found. In addition, micro-CT is an irreplaceable technique for obtaining a large number of topological and geometric features, and multi-phase or single-phase flow simulations can be conducted via digital rock models. However, for carbonates, micro-CT is not sufficient to describe the complete pore systems because macropores cannot be fully represented and sub-resolution micropores cannot be described. Those macropores and micropores have a very important effect on their seepage properties. Therefore, multi-scale digital rock modeling involving small and large pores is essential for complex rocks, which is of great significance for the analysis of pore systems and the simulation of rock physical properties.

Published: March 2024

The accuracy of photovoltaic (PV) power forecasting techniques relies not only on high-quality spatiotemporal data but also on an efficient feature-mining methodology. In this study, a spatiotemporal power forecasting model based on the broad learning system (BLS) and the improved backtracking search optimization algorithm (IBSOA) is proposed. The objective is to enhance the accuracy of PV power predictions while reducing the time-intensive training process associated with an extensive set of broad learning system parameters. The spatiotemporal attributes of historical data from multiple PV sites are clustered using a self-organizing map. The clustering analysis explores the spatiotemporal correlation among five photovoltaic (PV) power stations for each season between 2017 and 2018. Subsequently, the IBSOA is employed to optimize the hyperparameters of the BLS model, particularly the mapping and enhancement nodes. By utilizing hyperparameter optimization, a BSOA-based broad learning model is introduced to achieve superior accuracy. The results are assessed using the proposed method in comparison with three popular optimization algorithms: 1) genetic algorithm (GA), 2) bird swarm algorithm (BSA), and 3) backtracking search optimization algorithm (BSOA). All scenarios are validated and compared using PV plant data from the DKA center in Australia. The root-mean-square error (RMSE) indicators of the proposed prediction method are consistently lower than the worst-case scenario in each season, decreasing by 3.2283 kW in spring, 3.9159 kW in summer, 1.3425 kW in autumn, and 1.4058 kW in winter. Similarly, the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) exhibits a reduction compared to the worst case, with a decreases of 0.882% in spring, 1.2399% in summer, 1.803% in autumn, and 1.087% in winter. The comprehensive results affirm that the proposed method surpasses alternative optimization techniques, delivering high-quality power forecasts for the given case study.

Published: March 2024

Fluvial islands are vital from both morphological and ecological perspectives and consequently have been hotspots of morphodynamic research in large rivers around the world. This study selected 14 representative fluvial islands in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and explored their spatial-temporal evolution, including their shape and area dynamics during 1945–2016, by interpreting remote sensing images and analyzing the hydrological data. Results indicated that the total area of the 14 fluvial islands showed a growing trend at an average rate of 0.30 km2 yr−1 during the 72 years. The island Fenghuangzhou experienced the largest change in area, while Xiaohuangzhou (XHZ) had the smallest change in area. Sediment discharge and flooding were assumed to be the primary natural factors controlling the island dynamics. Furthermore, dam construction and bank reinforcement also played a critical role in preventing shoreline collapse, improving channel conditions, and promoting the stability of fluvial islands. From 1976 to 2016, the maximum erosion occurred on the left XHZ, while the maximum accretion was found on the Qingjiezhou island. Almost the entire river section experienced an accretion process on the right bank, which was assumed to be caused by the construction of erosion control structures. Besides, the dynamics of the fluvial islands along the lower Yangtze River appears to follow the erosion processes of the river bank. Our findings can provide an important reference for sustainable utilization and management of fluvial islands.

Introduction: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by aberrations in social interaction and communication associated with repetitive behaviors and interests, with strong clinical heterogeneity. Genetic factors play an important role in ASD, but about 75% of ASD cases have an undetermined genetic risk.

Methods: We extensively investigated an ASD cohort made of 102 families from the Middle Eastern population of Qatar. First, we investigated the copy number variations (CNV) contribution using genome-wide SNP arrays. Next, we employed Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to identify de novo or inherited variants contributing to the ASD etiology and its associated comorbid conditions in families with complete trios (affected child and the parents).

Results: Our analysis revealed 16 CNV regions located in genomic regions implicated in ASD. The analysis of the 88 ASD cases identified 41 genes in 39 ASD subjects with de novo (n = 24) or inherited variants (n = 22). We identified three novel de novo variants in new candidate genes for ASD (DTX4, ARMC6, and B3GNT3). Also, we have identified 15 de novo variants in genes that were previously implicated in ASD or related neurodevelopmental disorders (PHF21A, WASF1, TCF20, DEAF1, MED13, CREBBP, KDM6B,SMURF1, ADNP, CACNA1G, MYT1L, KIF13B, GRIA2, CHM, and KCNK9). Additionally, we defined eight novel recessive variants (RYR2, DNAH3, TSPYL2, UPF3B KDM5C, LYST, and WNK3), four of which were X-linked.

Conclusion: Despite the ASD multifactorial etiology that hinders ASD genetic risk discovery, the number of identified novel or known putative ASD genetic variants was appreciable. Nevertheless, this study represents the first comprehensive characterization of ASD genetic risk in Qatar's Middle Eastern population.
Causal relationship between inflammatory cytokines and autoimmune thyroid disease: a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis

Published: March 2024

Background

Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) ranks among the most prevalent thyroid diseases, with inflammatory cytokines playing a decisive role in its pathophysiological process. However, the causal relationship between the inflammatory cytokines and AITD remains elusive.

Methods

A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed to elucidate the causal connection between AITD and 41 inflammatory cytokines. Genetic variations associated with inflammatory cytokines were sourced from the FinnGen biobank, whereas a comprehensive meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) yielded data on Graves’ disease (GD) and Hashimoto thyroiditis. Regarding the MR analysis, the inverse variance-weighted, MR-Egger, and weighted median methods were utilized. Additionally, sensitivity analysis was conducted using MR-Egger regression, MR-pleiotropy residual sum, and outliers.

Results

Seven causal associations were identified between inflammatory cytokines and AITD. High levels of tumor necrosis factor–β and low levels of stem cell growth factor–β were indicative of a higher risk of GD. In contrast, high levels of interleukin-12p70 (IL-12p70), IL-13, and interferon-γ and low levels of monocyte chemotactic protein–1 (MCP-1) and TNF-α suggested a higher risk of HD. Moreover, 14 causal associations were detected between AITD and inflammatory cytokines. GD increases the levels of macrophage inflammatory protein–1β, MCP-1, monokine induced by interferon-γ (MIG), interferon γ–induced protein 10 (IP-10), stromal cell–derived factor–1α, platelet-derived growth factor BB, β–nerve growth factor, IL-2ra, IL-4, and IL-17 in blood, whereas HD increases the levels of MIG, IL-2ra, IP-10, and IL-16 levels.

Conclusion

Our bidirectional MR analysis revealed a causal relationship between inflammatory cytokines and AITD. These findings offer valuable insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying AITD.
