Published: November 2021

Lamiaceae familyası birçok cins ve türü içinde barındıran geniş bir familyadır. Bu çalışmada, familyadaki türlerden olan Stachys lavandulifolia, Salvia verticillata, Phlomis herba venti sp. pungens ve Phlomis sieheana bitkilerinin GC/MS yöntemi kullanılarak yağ asidi içerikleri tayin edilmiştir. Buna göre tekli doymamış yağ asidi oranının %18-%34 ve çoklu doymamış yağ asidi oranının ise %24-%49 arasında değiştiği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca her bir bitki için bulunmuş olan majör doymuş yağ asitleri trikozanoik asit ve lignoserik asit olarak bulunmuşken, majör doymamış yağ asitleri ise nervonik asit, eikodadienoik asit ve dokozadienoik asit olarak tespit edilmiştir. Yağlar, başta yüksek bir enerji kaynağı olmak üzere, sağlık üzerinde birçok faydalı etkiye sahiptir. Yüksek miktarda doymamış yağ asidi içeriği sayesinde, bitkilerin sağlık üzerinde pozitif etkisi olduğu desteklenmektedir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, bu bitkilerle yapılacak her bir çalışmaya ışık tutacaktır.
Cancel Culture
Authors: Haskell Samantha
Published: November 2021

Unlike previous forms of public shaming, canceling is a product of Web 2.0 and the boom of social media. The act of canceling is inherently tied to the
word “canceled,” however, how the public defines a cancellation is not static. Instead, how those on social media partake and understand canceling is due
to consistent strategies that emerge during a cancellation. In this research, I conducted a case study of the cancellation of Kevin Spacey that took place
in 2017. Over 1700 tweets discussing Kevin Spacey’s cancellation were captured in order to determine the process of canceling. Through qualitative content
analysis, multiple strategies were revealed that illuminated how the masses on Twitter utilize social media to participate in cancel culture. This research
demonstrates how canceling functions and the strategies that appear throughout the process of a cancellation.
3-D Ambient Noise Tomography of Llaima Volcano, Chile
Authors: Rossavik Claudia Kristina
Published: November 2021

Llaima is a glaciated, basaltic-andesitic stratocone in the South-Central Andean Volcanic Zone. It is one of the largest
and most active volcanoes in Chile. However, uncertainty remains regarding the depths and geometry of where magma is stored
and the routes which it takes towards the Earth's surface. To provide a structural framework for the interpretation of
petrological and geochemical data, I apply ambient noise tomography (ANT) to produce a 3-D shear wave velocity (vs) model
of Llaima's magmatic plumbing. The results of this project show slow shear wave velocity anomalies within the upper 8 km of the
crust which are interpreted as the locations of upper and lower magma reservoirs. Among the structures that are revealed by fast
shear wave velocity anomalies is a geometry that is interpreted as a dike within a cluster of volcano tectonic (VT) activity.
This VT cluster has been suggested to have followed the 2010 M8.8 Maule megathrust earthquake off the coast of Chile
(Mora-Stock et al., 2014; Franco, 2019). I use information that has been derived from previous studies such as
the coordinates of scoria cones along Llaima's flanks, gravitational anomalies, and local seismicity (which includes the
depths and locations of volcano tectonic and long period seismicity) to place the resulting model within a framework that
provides insight on the current state of this magmatic system.
Experiences of incarcerated mothers living with their children in a prison in Lima, Peru, 2020: a qualitative study
Authors: Martínez-Álvarez BM , Sindeev A
Published: November 2021

Objectives: This study explores the experiences of incarcerated women living with their children in the Women Chorrillos Penitentiary, Lima, Peru, 2020. Material and method: Qualitative, exploratory study with a phenomenological design, through semi-structured interviews with inmates who lived with their minor in the prison. In total there were 13 interviews considering the theoretical saturation of categories. Results: The experiences consisted of mostly negative intrapersonal experiences, related to different individual aspects and the conditions of confinement and prison treatment. Serious deficiencies perceived in the health care of inmates and children stand out, with emphasis on mistreatment and indifference on the part of the staff. Other factors involved in the construction of these experiences were identified. Discussion: The results provide evidence of serious structural and organizational deficiencies that violate the fundamental rights of the population group studied. Government efforts to date are partial and insufficient. Sustainable policies and programs are urgently needed that prioritize quality health care and adequate prison treatment for these people with an emphasis on preventivepromotional actions. There is a need for evidence-based interventions to reduce the harmful effects of childhood incarceration.
Situating Petrostate Guyana in the Rise of China Discourse
Authors: Cheong Brandon
Published: November 2021

By examining the Sino-Guyanese relationship and China’s parastatal involvement in Guyana, this paper seeks to demonstrate that the former’s potential for upending conventional geopolitical realities in Latin America and the Caribbean are overstated. As Western public concern regarding the perils of a China to the international order grows, the case of Guyana draws attention to China’s still deepening integration within the neoliberal global economy. Guyana’s historic relationship with China, geostrategic location as a Belt and Road Initiative partner country, and the recent emergence of the Guyana Basin as an energy nexus, suggests its importance as a bellwether of China’s presence in the region. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, assumptions regarding China’s re-emergence in the global order are being overturned frequently. It remains unclear what impact contemporary socio-economic, political, or ecological instabilities will have on a realignment of the incumbent international system, the need for nuanced and novel approaches for assessing the agency of a risen China is unequivocal.

Published: November 2021

The aim of the present study was to formulate solid dispersion (SD) of Mesalamine to enrich the aqueous solubility and dissolution rate. Mesalamine is used in the management of acute ulcerative colitis and for the prevention of relapse of active ulcerative colitis.

In the present study, Solid dispersion of Mesalamine was prepared by Fusion and Solvent evaporation method with different polymers. SD’s were characterized by % practical yield, drug content, Solubility, FT-IR, PXRD (Powder X- ray diffractometry), SEM (Scanning electron microscopy), in vitro dissolution studies and Stability studies.

The percent drug release of prepared solid dispersion of Mesalamine by fusion and solid dispersion method (FM47, FM67, SE47 and SE67) in 1:7 ratio was found 81.36±0.41, 86.29±0.64, 82.45±0.57and 87.25±1.14 respectively. The aqueous solubility and percent drug release of solid dispersion of Mesalamine by both methods was significantly increased. The PXRD demonstrated that there was a significant decrease in crystallinity of pure drug present in the solid dispersions, which resulted in an increased aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of Mesalamine.

The significant increase in aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of Mesalamine was observed in solid dispersion as the crystallinity of the drug decreased, absence of aggregation and agglomeration, increased wetability and good dispersibility after addition of PEG 4000 and PEG 6000.

Authors: Medina Noelia , Scarone Martin , Sierra Wilson , Coopman Martijn , Correa Cecilia , Gonzalez Maria , Irrazabal Gonzalo
Published: November 2021

De acuerdo con el último informe del Grupo Intergubernamental de Expertos sobre el Cambio Climático publicado en 2021, se están produciendo cambios climáticos sin precedentes. El informe establece que para limitar el calentamiento global a cerca de 1,5C ó 2C será necesaria la reducción inmediata, rápida y a gran escala de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. Se requerirá, por lo tanto, mayores compromisos por parte de los países. Varios países se han comprometido a alcanzar emisiones netas cero para el 2050. Particularmente, el sector energético es uno de los que producen más emisiones de efecto invernadero. Por lo tanto, es de principal interés su descarbonización. El hidrógeno verde se presenta como un potencial vector energético que permitirá contribuir a alcanzar dicha meta. Varios países ya han avanzado en el desarrollo de estrategias y hojas de ruta de hidrógeno y han anunciado varios proyectos. El hidrógeno verde se presenta como una oportunidad para Uruguay, tanto para la descarbonización de su economía como en lo referente a las posibilidades de exportación. La matriz eléctrica del país es altamente renovable, cuenta con un alto potencial de generación con energías renovables no convencionales aún sin utilizar, y la disponibilidad del recurso eólico y solar permiten que estas energías sean altamente complementarias. Asimismo, el país tiene atributos de interés para el desarrollo de inversiones, ha tenido grandes avances en digitalización y cuenta con una buena ubicación geográfica con acceso a puertos y rutas que interconectan el país. Uruguay ya se encuentra impulsando el hidrógeno verde mediante dos líneas principales: la promoción de un proyecto piloto para transporte pesado que permitirá la prueba de la tecnología y la generación de capacidades y conocimiento; y el desarrollo de su estrategia nacional de hidrógeno verde. Esta nota técnica realiza una breve revisión del estado del desarrollo de hidrógeno verde a nivel mundial, analiza las ventajas competitivas de Uruguay como productor y exportador de hidrógeno verde; presenta los principales hallazgos del estudio de prefactibilidad de exportación realizado por MIEM y PoR; analiza los potenciales usos locales de hidrógeno verde y sus derivados y los potenciales beneficios en términos de la reactivación económica; y presenta las principales iniciativas que está desarrollando el gobierno en el marco de la promoción del desarrollo del ecosistema de hidrógeno verde a nivel nacional.

Przestrzenie Assunty Norwida. Uwagi interpretacyjne
Authors: Abriszewska Paulina
Published: November 2021

Artykuł jest aspektową analizą poematu Assunta Cypriana Norwida. Pierwszym z celów analizy jest przyjrzenie się sposobom kreowania przestrzeni, mechanizmom ich kontrastowania (ogród / salon; kopalnia / klasztor) i powiązania zmian, różnorodności przestrzeni z ruchem myśli bohatera. Drugi cel to zbadanie przestrzeni rozumianej metaforycznie – jako kontekstu intertekstualnego – w tym głównie zestawienie z poematem Juliusza Słowackiego W Szwajcarii. W ogólniejszej perspektywie istotne jest przedstawienie, w jak oryginalny sposób Norwid jako interpretator czyta Słowackiego. Na marginesie powracam również do kwestii pojawiającej się w literaturze przedmiotu – zestawiania Assunty z tradycją platońską – rewiduję niektóre sądy, pokazuję, iż rolę Sokratesa pełni zarówno bohater (wobec odbiorcy), jak i Assunta (wobec bohatera).

Kiedy debiut jest pożegnaniem. Ostatni mój sonet Norwida i Adieux à la poésie Louise Ackermann
Authors: Kowalska Magdalena
Published: November 2021

W artykule przedstawiono interpretację porównawczą utworów: Ostatni mój sonet Cypriana Norwida i Adieux à la poésie Louise Ackermann. Autorów dzieli płeć i narodowość, a także styl artystyczny oraz krajowa i europejska recepcja, ich wiersze powstały w odstępie czterech lat. Te dwa utwory okazują się interesującym materiałem do badania z powodu ich jednoczesnego debiutanckiego i „późnego” charakteru: opisano w nich gesty pożegnania z poezją w ogóle i w pewnym jej wymiarze. Obecność samotniczej egzystencji „ja” lirycznego w wierszu Ackermann oraz jednostajnie smutnego nastroju w tym utworze, a relacji między „ja” i „ty” lirycznym w utworze Norwida oraz większej skali emocji prowadzi do wniosków, że tym, co łączy omawiane dzieła, jest motyw ludzkiej obojętności wobec uczuć innych i niezrozumienia ich poezji przez odbiorców. U Ackermann dominuje lęk przed tym brakiem współodczuwania, Norwida zaś uwypukla problem konwencji, które uniemożliwiają prawdziwą komunikację. Udowodniono zatem hipotezę, że tym, co w istocie żegnają w swoich debiutach twórcy, są tylko pewne właściwości poezji typowe dla liryki im współczesnej (ekspresja uczuć osoby mówiącej w wierszu, konwencje sonetowej liryki miłosnej), a utwory te stanowią przejście do innego etapu ich poetyckiej kreacji.
Conceptual issues of professional education of specialists in the "Environmental Protection Technologies"
Authors: Andrianova I.S. , Gerasimov O.I. , Kuryatnikov V.V. , Spivak A.Ya
Published: November 2021

Composing the programs for the education of specialists in the field of environmental protection requires clear ideas about the concepts, place of basic disciplines and the main issues of the future specialty. Peculiarities of methodological aspects of description of levels and assessment of quality of education in terminology of competences and learning outcomes are considered. They consist in the predominance of competencies, that have a physical meaning and ensure the filling of the "core" of the educational program with physical principles, methods and models.

The study of polluting processes in natural objects requires knowledge of the physics of aerodisperse systems in connection with the solution of aerosol emissions into the atmosphere, knowledge of the physics of the dispersible silt-covered upcasts into the aquatic environment, knowledge and understanding of physical phenomena of heat and mass transfer processes in soil, as in the granular system, knowledge of the physics of external radiation, including sound, heat, electromagnetic, in particular, ionizing radiation, and their impact on the environment.

Peculiarities of the educational system of training specialists in the field of environmental protection take into account the tasks of systemic radioecology, among which the tasks of radiation monitoring are especially important. The conceptual approach to the study of radioecology is proposed not as a whole, mixing the laws of physics, chemistry and, for example, biology, but by individual branches, and systematically.
PHYSICS OF MOSFET NANOTRANSISTORS: FUNDAMENTAL LIMITS AND RESTRICTIONS
Authors: Kruglyak Yu. A. , Strikha M. V.
Published: November 2021

In the last one from the series of the tutorial review articles, devoted to physics of modern nanotransistors and aimed to serve reseachers, ingeneers, students and teachers in the universities, it is demonstrated that the existence of the minimal energy for recording of 1 bite of information leads to fundamental restriction on minimal MOSFET channel length and on minimal time of transistor swithching. The obtained simple estimation Lmin = 1.2 nm (for room temperature) is somewhat lower, than in reality, and it looks like that Si FETs with a channel shorter than 2.5–3 nm would newer be fabricated. This correlates with the results of numerical modeling of electron transport through the channel, which demonstrate that for short channels the greater part of current passes by tunneling below the barrier top, and the transistor loses its functionality, because the current in source-drain circuit is no longer governed by gate voltage.

Published: November 2021

Background: Diseases involving urinary system are very common in dogs causing significant morbidity and mortality in dogs. Renal failure and urinary obstruction are frequently encountered in clinical cases. Early diagnosis and treatment increase the survival rate and decreases the chances of complications related to renal failure. The present study was conducted to evaluate haemato-biochemical alterations in dogs having urinary system dysfunction. Methods: The study was conducted on 38 dogs to observe the haemato-biochemical parameter changes in dogs suffering from obstructive and non-obstructive renal system affections as compared to healthy dogs. Various haemato-biochemical parameters viz. Hb, PCV, TEC, TLC, DLC, BUN, creatinine, ALT, AST, ALP, TP, albumin and A:G ratio were evaluated. Qualitative analysis of urine was done using Multistix dip stick method. Result: In the present study the values of various haemato-biochemical parameters showed different pattern in both obstructive and non-obstructive renal diseases. Significant haematobiochemical changes reported in renal failure dogs were anemia, azotemia, increased alkaline phosphatase and AST values and decreased A:G ratio and in dogs with urinary obstruction the significant changes were uremia and leukocytosis. The results of the study suggested that the evaluation of various haemato-biochemical parameters help in diagnosis and predicting the prognosis of a renal disease.

Published: November 2021

Background: Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell transplantation can treat metabolic syndrome, but the tracing of cells in the body after transplantation has always been a problem. Tree shrew umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were labeled with the dark red fluorescent dye DIR and a metabolic syndrome model in tree shrew was generated. The migration, distribution, colonization and survival of the cells were observed. Methods: Tree shrew umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were labeled with the dark red fluorescent dye DIR. Three days after the tree shrew model was generated, the pancreas, kidney and liver were placed in a small animal live imager to observe the distribution of the labeled cells. Result: The labeled cells showed deep red fluorescence in the live imager. After treatment with the transplanted cells, dark red fluorescent signals were observed in the liver, kidney and pancreas of the tree shrews but not in the untreated group and no dark red fluorescent signal was observed in the cell distribution.

Authors: Bhandhari Divya , Singh Amar , Patel J.V. , Banyal D.K.
Published: November 2021

Background: Colocasia is cultivated globally for its edible corm and leaves. Leaf blight incited by Phytophthora colocasiae is the most destructive disease of colocasia. The current study aims at biological management of the disease. Methods: Nine Trichoderma isolates from the colocasia rhizosphere soil along with five designated isolates of Trichoderma spp. already available in the Department of Plant Pathology, CSK HPKV, Palampur were tested in vitro for antagonistic activity against P. colocasiae. Similarly, six unidentified bacterial strains isolated from colocasia phylloplane and available Pseudomonas fluorescens were evaluated for antagonistic activity against P. colocasiae under in vitro conditions. The bioagents found best under in vitro conditions were evaluated in vivo. Result: Trichoderma isolate Ti-6 was found significantly superior bioagent as it resulted in 72.9 per cent mycelial growth inhibition of P. colocasiae followed by Ti-5 (63.2%), Ti-4 (60.1%) and Ti-1 (54.5%). Amongst bacterial antagonists, Pseudomonas fluorescens gave maximum mycelial growth inhibition of 50.5 per cent followed by Pb-3 (31.4%) and Pb-6 (30.5%). The efficacy of five Trichoderma spp isolates viz., Ti-6, Ti-5, Ti-4, Ti-1, T. viride and one bacterial isolate of P. fluorescens found effective under in vitro were also evaluated in vivo using three delivery systems under net house condition. Corm treatment with bioagents was found superior for management of colocasia blight. Corm treatment with Ti-6 was found to be significantly superior to other treatments as 93.74 per cent of disease control was observed. For drenching, bioagent Ti-6 was proved best in managing blight disease (88.91%) followed by Ti-5 (88.90%). However, Ti-5 isolate of Trichoderma sp. as soil application was found superior with 90.02 per cent disease control.

Published: November 2021

Background: In an effort to develop micronutrient-rich chickpea lines, a study to examine the variability in yield and nutritional traits was conducted. Methods: 99 genotypes were studied, the data was recorded and analyzed on yield traits, protein, iron and zinc content in Rabi 2019-20. Result: Maximum variability was recorded in plant yield followed by iron concentration (mg/kg), hundred seed weight and number of pods per plant. Of the total entries, nine entries namely, RGH4, RGH56, RG2016-84, ICC251762, RGH53, IPC98-12, RG2016-03, ICC1053 and RGH58 recorded high protein content ( greater than 20%). All these entries possessing high protein had pink flower. One chickpea accession (RGH53) accumulated the highest concentration for both protein and zinc, with an average of 21.86% and 73.00 ppm, respectively, but it showed low iron concentration (20.77 ppm). The first six principal components provided a reasonable summary of the data and explained 80.19% of the total variation. Ninety nine genotypes were grouped into ten clusters. Maximum inter cluster distance was observed between clusters VI and IX; VI and VII and IV and VI. The genotypes of these clusters are suggested for utilization in the crossing programs to breed varieties of chickpea for high yield with amenability to nutrients.
Organizing for business digitalization and innovation : theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence on the role of top managers and inter-organizational networks
Authors:   , Reck Fabian
Published: November 2021

Especially in times of digitalization and digital transformation, firms need to generate and commercialize innovations in order to reinvent their business model, to build and expand their competence base, and to secure their long-term survival. Questions of how firms should “organize for innovation” and which organizational factors determine firms’ innovation performance have for long been subject to academic discussion. Most prominently, past research has identified factors such as “top management and leadership”, “strategy”, “structures and processes”, “organizational culture”, “resources, skills, and expertise”, or “networks and external partners” as major determinants of organizational innovation. However, the pervasiveness of digital technologies and innovations entails two major challenges that will most likely dictate the rules of the “innovation game” in years to come: (1) business digitalization entails holistic organizational transformation; (2) distributed and combinatorial innovation are the major modes of digital innovation. In the light of those challenges, especially the factors “top management and leadership” and “networks and external partners” might be crucial differentiators between innovation leaders and laggards. Hence, my cumulative dissertation centers around those two focus areas. In this thesis, I first identify pressing research gaps with regard to the dominant theoretical perspectives on both topics (upper echelon/strategic leadership theory for “top management and leadership”; stra-tegic network perspective for “networks and external partners”). Then, I present five empiri-cal studies that each address a specific set of the identified limitations in theory and research literature. In all, my work advocates the use of either multi-level research models or typological/taxonomic frameworks as core elements for theoretical reasoning in innovation management research. Doing so, I aim to help overcome theoretical fragmentation in both focus areas and support the development of mid-range theories that adequately reflect the complex and interdependent nature of organizations and of the causal mechanisms at play.

Authors: Bashorun Musediq Tunji , Idogun-Omogbai Esther Kehinde , Muhammad Jamiu Oladele
Published: November 2021

Background of study: Preservation and conservation of the cultural, social and technical context of our heritage are germane.
Purpose: The study examined the preservation and conservation of information resources in selected private university libraries in South-west Nigeria. Eight (8) selected private universities in South-west, Nigeria with the population consisted of one hundred thirty-seven respondents which comprised of library professionals and para-professionals.
Method: The study employed a survey research design and random sampling technique. Data collected with aids of semi- structured questionnaire and was analysed using frequency, mean and standard deviation with the aid of a Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM-SPSS) version 20.0
Results: The findings revealed that book becoming torn is the highest nature of deterioration followed by vandalisation, mutilation and brittle of print library materials. Moreover, the study revealed that digital preservation level of utilisation is low and is not extensively used in selected private university libraries.
 Conclusion: The study concluded that preservation and conservation techniques are recognized in the selected university libraries, but the digital preservation techniques are not adequately used due to various constraints. One of the recommendations made was the provision of formal training for library staff on preservation and conservation of information resources.
Solving the problem of mathematical models overparameterization for some nonlinear oscillating systems
Authors: Gorodetskyi Viktor , Osadchuk Mykola
Published: November 2021

This study proposes a numerical-analytical method that allows us to simplify the model, which is obtained on the basis of the single observable variable of an object under the study, and which may be overparameterized. As a model, we consider a system of ordinary differential equations with polynomial right-hand sides. To solve this problem, the so-called differential model is used, that is, a system in which unknown variables are replaced by derivatives of the observed variable, and which is derived on the basis of a system under the study so that the observed variables of these systems coincide. The method of simplification of a system under the study is based on the fact that using a numerical method, a simpler differential model can be obtained. Next, an analytical transition from a simplified differential model to a simplified original system is performed. In this case, the time series error remains within given limits even for systems with deterministic chaos, despite their high sensitivity to the initial conditions.
A Compass to Guide Insights into TH17 Cellular Metabolism and Autoimmunity
Authors: Wilson Adrianna N. , Mosure Sarah A. , Solt Laura A.
Published: November 2021

T cells rapidly convert their cellular metabolic requirements upon activation, switching to a highly glycolytic program to satisfy their increasingly complex energy needs. Fundamental metabolic differences have been established for the development of Foxp3+ T regulatory (Treg) cells versus TH17 cells, alterations of which can drive disease. TH17 cell dysregulation is a driver of autoimmunity and chronic inflammation, contributing to pathogenesis in diseases such as multiple sclerosis. A recent paper published in Cell by Wagner, et al. combined scRNA-seq and metabolic mapping data to interrogate potential metabolic modulators of TH17 cell pathogenicity. This Compass to TH17 cell metabolism highlights the polyamine pathway as a critical regulator of TH17/Treg cell function, signifying its potential as a therapeutic target.

This paper gives both a general canonical quantum gravity theory and the general canonical quantum gravity theories of the Universe and general black hole, and discovers the relations reflecting symmetric properties of the standard nonlinear gravitational Lagrangian, which are not relevant to any concrete metric models. This paper concretely shows the general commutation relations of the general gravitational field operators and their zeroth, first, second and third style, respectively, of high order canonical momentum operators for the general nonlinear system of the standard gravitational Lagrangian, and then has finished all the four styles of the canonical quantization of the standard gravity.
Virtual Screening with Gnina 1.0
Authors: Sunseri Jocelyn , Koes David
Published: November 2021

Virtual screening - predicting which compounds within a specified compound library bind to a target molecule, typically a protein - is a fundamental task in the field of drug discovery. Doing virtual screening well provides tangible practical benefits, including reduced drug development costs, faster time to therapeutic viability, and fewer unforeseen side effects. As with most applied computational tasks, the algorithms currently used to perform virtual screening feature inherent tradeoffs between speed and accuracy. Furthermore, even theoretically rigorous, computationally intensive methods may fail to account for important effects relevant to whether a given compound will ultimately be usable as a drug. Here we investigate the virtual screening performance of the recently released Gnina molecular docking software, which uses deep convolutional networks to score protein-ligand structures. We find, on average, that Gnina outperforms conventional empirical scoring. The default scoring in Gnina outperforms the empirical AutoDock Vina scoring function on 89 of the 117 targets of the DUD-E and LIT-PCBA virtual screening benchmarks with a median 1% early enrichment factor that is more than twice that of Vina. However, we also find that issues of bias linger in these sets, even when not used directly to train models, and this bias obfuscates to what extent machine learning models are achieving their performance through a sophisticated interpretation of molecular interactions versus fitting to non-informative simplistic property distributions.

Pertussis is a vaccine-preventable disease caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. Over the past years, the incidence and mortality of pertussis increased significantly. A possible cause is the switch from whole cell to acellular pertussis vaccines, although other factors may also contribute. To develop future vaccines and improve current vaccination strategies, it is critical to understand factors influencing the generation of immunological memory. We applied high-dimensional flow cytometry to investigate changes in B cells in individuals of different ages and distinct priming backgrounds upon administration of an acellular pertussis booster vaccine. These findings were correlated to vaccine-specific plasma cells and serum Ig levels. Expansion and maturation of plasma cells 7 days post-vaccination was the most prominent cellular change in all age groups, and was most pronounced for more mature IgG1+ plasma cells. Cellular responses were stronger in individuals primed with whole cell vaccine than in individuals primed with acellular vaccine. Moreover, IgG1+ plasma cell expansion weakly correlated with Prn- and PT- specific serum IgG levels. Our study points at plasma cells as a potential early cellular marker of an immune response and contributes to understanding differences in immune responses between age groups and priming backgrounds.
A New Class of Autopoietic and Cognitive Machines
Authors: Mikkilineni Rao
Published: November 2021

Making computing machines mimic living organisms has captured the imagination of many since the dawn of digital computers. However, today’s artificial intelligence technologies fall short in replicating even the basic autopoietic and cognitive behaviors found in primitive biological systems. According Charles Darwin, the difference in mind between humans and the higher animals, great as it is, certainly is one of degree and not of kind. Autopoiesis refers to the behavior of a system that replicates itself and maintains its own identity and stability while facing fluctuations caused by external influences. Cognitive behaviors model the system’s state, sense internal and external changes, analyze, predict and take action to mitigate any risk to its functional fulfilment. How did intelligence evolve? what is the relationship between the mind and body? Answers to these questions should guide us to infuse autopoietic and cognitive behaviors into digital machines. In this paper we use recent advances in our understanding of general theory of information, and the role of structures in managing the transformations between information and knowledge to pave the path to infuse autopoietic and cognitive functions into digital computing and build a new class of intelligent machines going beyond the current state of the art.
Cross-Sectional Analysis of the Resistance of Rc Members Subjected to Bending With/without Axial Force
Authors: Lechman Marek
Published: November 2021

The paper presents section models for analysis of the resistance of RC members subjected to bending moment with or without axial force. To determine the section resistance the nonlinear stress-strain relationship for concrete in compression is assumed, taking into account the concrete softening. It adequately describes the behavior of RC members up to failure. For the reinforcing steel linear elastic-ideal plastic model is applied. For the ring cross-section subjected to bending with axial force the normalized resistances are derived in the analytical form by integrating the cross-sectional equilibrium equations. They are presented in the form of interaction diagrams and compared with the results obtained by testing conducted on RC columns under eccentric compression. Furthermore, the ultimate normalized bending moment has been derived for the rectangular cross-section subjected to bending without axial force. It was applied in the cross-sectional analysis of steel and concrete composite beams, named BH beams, consisting of the RC rectangular core placed inside a reversed TT welded profile. The comparisons made indicated good agreements between the proposed section models and experimental results.
A Facial Expressions Recognition Method Using Residual Network Architecture for Online Learning Evaluation
Authors: Long Duong Thang ,   Hanoi Open University B101 House, Nguyen Hien Street, Hai Ba Trung District, Ha Noi City, Viet Nam
Published: November 2021

Facial expression recognition (FER) has been widely researched in recent years, with successful applications in a range of domains such as monitoring and warning of drivers for safety, surveillance, and recording customer satisfaction. However, FER is still challenging due to the diversity of people with the same facial expressions. Currently, researchers mainly approach this problem based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) in combination with architectures such as AlexNet, VGGNet, GoogleNet, ResNet, SENet. Although the FER results of these models are getting better day by day due to the constant evolution of these architectures, there is still room for improvement, especially in practical applications. In this study, we propose a CNN-based model using a residual network architecture for FER problems. We also augment images to create a diversity of training data to improve the recognition results of the model and avoid overfitting. Utilizing this model, this study proposes an integrated system for learning management systems to identify students and evaluate online learning processes. We run experiments on different datasets that have been published for research: CK+, Oulu-CASIA, JAFFE, and collected images from our students (FERS21). Our experimental results indicate that the proposed model performs FER with a significantly higher accuracy compared with other existing methods.
