Authors: Hadadian Shila , Moradzadegan Atousa
Published: September 2023

Background: Curcumin has low side effects and strong antioxidant, anti-diabetic and anti-cancer activities, and other therapeutic properties. Studies have confirmed that visible light can improve curcumin’s antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the toxicity caused by photodynamic therapy with a low-power diode laser with a wavelength of 810 nm compared to curcumin in breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231 cell line). Methods: After culturing cells in a 96-well plate, concentrations of 1, 10, 100, and 500 μM of curcumin alone and also in combination with a low-power diode laser with a wavelength of 810 nm and after 48 hours of incubation, cells’ viability was assessed by MTT method. Also, cell proliferation rate, lactate dehydrogenase enzyme release, and membrane lipid peroxidation were measured. Results: The percentage of survival, cell proliferation rate, and release of lactate dehydrogenase enzyme in the combination of 500 μg/mL with laser was significantly lower than the rest of the groups, while the average concentration of malondialdehyde obtained according to micrograms in the curcumin group with laser was higher than other groups. Conclusions: Overall, combining curcumin with a photodynamic laser may reduce the survival effect and cell proliferation rate of curcumin on MDA cells. Most current research on curcumin combined with photodynamic lasers focuses on in vitro experiments and animal models; however, further clinical research is needed.

Published: September 2023

Background: This study aimed to investigate the combined effects of resveratrol (RES) and saroglitazar (SARO) on a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a rat model. Methods: In this animal study, rats were treated with RES, SARO, or a combination of both. Male rats were fed with an HFD to induce nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and then divided into 4 groups: RES treatment, SARO treatment, combined RES and SARO treatment, and no treatment. Various parameters were measured, including body and liver weight, liver enzymes, gene expression of inflammatory markers and reactive oxygen species (ROS), protein expression levels of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) and p-Smad3, and liver histology. Results: The combination of RES and SARO significantly reduced blood and hepatic lipids, attenuated weight gain, and decreased inflammatory cytokine production in a NAFLD study. The combination diminished hepatic lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, and TGF-β1 expression, suggesting antifibrotic effects. Histological evaluations showed antisteatotic and antifibrotic outcomes of the combined treatment. Improved glycemic index, blood lipids, and reduced NASH indicators (i.e., aspartate aminotransferase [AST] and alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) were observed after 6 weeks. The treatment also decreased ROS and NOX family expression, lessening oxidative stress. The inhibition of the TGF-β-Smad3 pathway in HFD-induced rats resulted in reduced NASH (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The results indicated that the group receiving the combination of RES and SARO showed a more efficient reduction in fibrosis and steatosis in the NASH model induced by an HFD than the groups receiving RES or SARO alone.

Published: September 2023

Background: Substance use disorder (SUD) is a global phenomenon that can negatively impact various aspects of an affected individual’s life. A thorough knowledge of the etiology of this disorder and its contributing factors can help us manage and prevent it more effectively. Objectives: In this research, we aimed to investigate the possible association between substance use disorder, attachment styles, and defense mechanisms. Patients and Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 120 participants divided into two groups; a group of 60 subjects diagnosed with substance use disorder and 60 participants without substance use disorder. The participants were evaluated using the Revised Collins, the Read Adult Attachment Scale, the Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ-40), and a checklist consisting of questions regarding age, sex, marital status, job, income, level of education, and history of psychiatric illnesses. Data were gathered and analyzed using SPSS v. 26 software. Results: Neurotic defense mechanisms were significantly higher in the SUD group than in non-SUD participants (P-value = 0.001). No significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding mature and immature defense mechanisms (P-value > 0.05). Anxious and avoidant attachment styles were significantly more common in the SUD patients compared to the control group (P-value = 0.001 and 0.0001, respectively). Secure attachment style was significantly more common in the non-SUD group (P-value = 0.002). Marital status was associated with attachment style (P-value < 0.05). The probability of having an anxious attachment style for unmarried people was 4.5 times higher than for married people. Other variables had no significant relationship with any attachment style types. Conclusions: These findings suggest a higher prevalence of neurotic defense mechanisms and avoidant and anxious attachment styles in people suffering from substance use disorder. These findings, if proven, can help plan more effective psychological treatments for SUD patients and preventive measures to reduce the prevalence and burden of this disorder.
Microfluidic platform for multiple parameters readouts in a point-of-care
Authors:   , Karimi Shadi
Published: September 2023

The research is motivated by real applications, such as pasteurization plant, water networks and autonomous system, which each of them require a specific control system to provide proper management able to take into account their particular features and operating limits in presence of uncertainties related to their operation and failures from component breakdowns.
According to that most of the real systems have nonlinear behaviors, it can be approximated them by polytopic linear uncertain models such as Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) and Takagi-Sugeno (TS) models. Therefore, a new economic Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach based on LPV/TS models is proposed and the stability of the proposed approach is certified by using a region constraint on the terminal state. Besides, the MPC-LPV strategy is extended based on the system with varying delays affecting states and inputs. The control approach allows the controller to accommodate the scheduling parameters and delay change. By computing the prediction of the state variables and delay along a prediction time horizon, the system model can be modified according to the evaluation of the estimated state and delay at each time instant. To increase the system reliability, anticipate the appearance of faults and reduce the operational costs, actuator health monitoring should be considered. Regarding several types of system failures, different strategies are studied for obtaining system failures. First, the damage is assessed with the rainflow-counting algorithm that allows estimating the component’s fatigue and control objective is modified by adding an extra criterion that takes into account the accumulated damage. Besides, two different health-aware economic predictive control strategies that aim to minimize the damage of components are presented. Then, economic health-aware MPC controller is developed to compute the components and system reliability in the MPC model using an LPV modeling approach and maximizes the availability of the system by estimating system reliability. Additionally, another improvement considers chance-constraint programming to compute an optimal list replenishment policy based on a desired risk acceptability level, managing to dynamically designate safety stocks in flow-based networks to satisfy non-stationary flow demands. Finally, an innovative health-aware control approach for autonomous racing vehicles to simultaneously control it to the driving limits and to follow the desired path based on maximization of the battery RUL. The proposed approach is formulated as an optimal on-line robust LMI based MPC driven from Lyapunov stability and controller gain synthesis solved by LPV-LQR problem in LMI formulation with integral action for tracking the trajectory.

Published: September 2023

Los mecanismos leva-palpador en los que el cierre del par superior se realiza por la configuración geométrica de la leva y del palpador son denominados desmodrómicos o levas con cierre geométrico. Estos mecanismos son poco tratados dentro del tema de levas, en especial aquellos que son planos. Así, el objeto de estudio de la presente tesis lo constituyen los mecanismos leva-palpador desmodrómicos planos. La investigación tiene por objetivos: aportar elementos teóricos y proponer métodos de generación de perfiles de levas desmodrómicas planas, de modo que se facilite el estudio y la aplicación de dichos mecanismos. El estudio se ha centrado en los mecanismos de levas conjugadas y de anchura y diámetro constante. La investigación de los mecanismos mencionados abarca las etapas de definición de la ley de desplazamiento del palpador y de generación del perfil de la leva.
Dentro de la primera etapa citada, se han obtenido las características que tienen las leyes de desplazamiento del palpador para poder generar perfiles de anchura y diámetro constante, y en el caso de palpadores rotatorios se expone como diseñar dichas leyes. En esta etapa se han utilizado curvas de Bézier no paramétricas y B-spline no paramétrico para la definición de las leyes de desplazamiento del palpador. En lo referente a la obtención del perfil de la leva, se propone un método analítico-vectorial que permite obtener perfiles de levas conjugadas y de anchura y diámetro constante como caso particular de las conjugadas, estableciendo ciertas restricciones de diseño. El método es conciso y comprensible. En el trabajo se ha utilizado como herramienta básica de simulación el Software Mathematica®, para diseñar las leyes de desplazamiento y generar los perfiles de levas. Se proponen recomendaciones que pueden dar lugar al desarrollo de otros trabajos de investigación.

A model for railway induced ground vibrations in the frame of preliminary assessment studies
Authors:   , Arcos Villamarín Robert
Published: September 2023

This thesis focuses on the development of an analytical model for the generation and
propagation parts of a global model of ground induced vibrations to be used in preliminary
assessment studies for the case of at-grade railway infrastructures. The model is
designed prioritising its speed, simplicity and usability ahead its accuracy modelling the
real railway system. This model takes into account the subgrade as a viscoelastic and
homogeneous half-space, the superstructure as a 2-layer supporting model and the vehicle
as 1DOF system. With the aim of simplify the model, the superstructure/subgrade
interaction is studied in terms of the wheel/rail contact dynamics, bounding in what
cases this interaction can be neglected. The adaptation of this model when a far eld
semi-analytical model is desired to be used as the propagation model is fully developed,
by means of the dimensioning of the near eld and far eld regions.

Authors: Mumbru Laporta José , Ochoa Vives Manuel , Orellana Almendras Márilyn
Published: September 2023

El contenido de esta monografía es el resultado de una reflexión sobre el proceso del diseño básico. Desde antiguo se conocen los movimientos a base de giros, simetrías, traslaciones y homotecias; no obstante, su utilización no ha sido completamente explotada por falta de una clasificación y ordenación de sus múltiples y variadas posibilidades para la creación de diseños. Algunos de estos movimientos han sido incorporados a los diferentes sistemas de CAD, pero no con toda la amplitud requerida. La presente obra expone una representación gráfica esquematizada que permite analizar las múltiples interrelaciones existentes, estableciendo todas las combinaciones entre los principales parámetros que rigen la elaboración de diseños y aportando unos recursos que amplían poderosamente las capacidades creativas. Los estudiantes de diseño pueden encontrar en esta monografía unas vías que simplifiquen la generación de motivos en función de los caminos seleccionados.

Misuse of State Property in The Form of State-Owned Houses
Authors: Andriani Rina , Subekti Imam , Rusydi Mohamad Khoiru
Published: September 2023

The management of class III state houses begins with the transfer of status of class II state houses to class III state houses, transfer of rights, lease purchase agreements, and transfer of property rights. This study aims to determine the process of managing class III state houses and the problem of misuse of state property in the form of class III state houses. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research method with a case study approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews and documentation. The results showed that a lack of internal control could cause the problem of abuse of country houses. The solution to these problems is following up with applicable regulations and strengthening the internal control system. This research implies that it becomes the basis for compiling clear and detailed guidelines or guidelines on the management of class III state houses. These guidelines will assist the authorities in establishing rules that are more transparent, accountable, and efficient in managing these state houses.
Paul of Venice and the Plurality of Forms and Souls
Authors: Jeschke Thomas ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: September 2023

In this paper, I focus on Paul of Venice’s plurality of forms and souls, i.e., his “two total souls” theory. I argue that this specific theory is a result of Paul’s reception of various positions originating from fourteenth-century Parisian philosophers like John of Jandun, the Anonymous Patar, Nicole Oresme, John Duns Scotus, and Walter Burley. By receiving these positions and by making use of merely parts of their doctrines, Paul creates a theory of the hylomorphic compound that fits well within an Aristotelian framework of an Averroistic flavor. Although his position is not Averroistic in any strict sense, it mirrors quite well the growing interest in an Averroistic interpretation of Aristotle in Padua at his time. By looking at some of his successors, such as Gaetano da Thiene, Nicoletto Vernia, and Agostino Nifo, I show that Paul is on the borderline between a traditional, scholastic philosophical psychology or hylomorphism of Parisian origin and an Averroist reading of philosophical psychology or hylomorphism, which had its promoters in fifteenth-century Padua.
Derived Quantity and Quantity as Such—Notes toward a Thomistic Account of Modern and Classical Mathematics
Authors: Kearns Timothy ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: September 2023

Thomists do not have an account of how modern mathematics relates to classical mathematics or more generally fits into the Aristotelian hierarchy of sciences. Rather than treat primarily of Aquinas’s theses on mathematical abstraction, I turn to considering what modern mathematics is in itself, seen from a broadly classical perspective. I argue that many modern quantities can be considered to be, not quantities as such or in themselves, but derived quantities, i.e., quantities that can be defined wholly in terms of the principles of number or magnitude. I also interpret the parts of modern mathematics that study quantitative change as being properly-speaking parts of natural philosophy, for example, probability theory, statistics, calculus, etc. In conclusion, I consider the place that quantity as such has in the order of the world and why we should expect the world to be highly mathematical, as we have found it to be.

Published: September 2023

Changes in labor demographics have become an important factor influencing various aspects of human resource management in the modern era. This study aims to investigate talent management strategies that can be used to address challenges arising from changing workforce demographics. Through a qualitative approach, this research conducts an in-depth analysis of case studies on several large companies in various industrial sectors. In-depth interview methods were used to collect data from HR practitioners directly involved in the implementation of talent management strategies. The collected data is analyzed with a thematic approach to identify common patterns and themes related to effective strategies. The results of this study show that effective talent management strategies in facing the challenges of changing workforce demographics cover several aspects. First, companies need to adopt an inclusive approach that enables the recruitment and development of human resources from different demographic groups. Second, a clear and flexible career development strategy helps retain potential employees, especially those from the younger generation. Third, efforts to create an inclusive and collaborative work culture support the retention and engagement of employees from diverse backgrounds. This research has important implications for HR practitioners and organizational leaders in designing and implementing talent management strategies that are responsive to changing workforce demographics. By understanding effective strategies, companies can be better prepared to face the challenges posed by shifting workforce demographics, and build inclusive and innovative work environments
13. YÜZYIL VİETNAM TARİHİNDE MOĞOLLAR VE ETKİLERİ

Published: September 2023

13. yüzyılda bozkır konar göçerliğinin Cengiz Han’ın şahsında yeni ve dinamik bir lider altında teşkilatlanması dünya tarihinde köklü izler bırakacak olayların da başlangıcı olmuştur. Moğolların geniş bir coğrafi sahada yaptıkları etkinin yol açtığı tarihsel değişimler çeşitli cepheleriyle yaygın bir inceleme konusu olmuştur. Diğer yandan ülkemizde Moğol yayılmasının Asya’nın çeşitli bölgelerindeki ve bu meyanda Güneydoğu Asya’daki etkileri ise görece daha az incelenmiştir. Bununla birlikte Güneydoğu Asya’da Kubilay Han’ın hâkimiyet devrinde girişilen seferler, her ne kadar askerî açıdan başarıya ulaşmış olmasalar da bölge tarihi açısından büyük öneme sahiptir. Bu önem Moğollara karşı direnişin Vietnam kimliğinin oluşumunda oynadığı rol ile açığa çıkar. Bu çalışmada Kubilay Han zamanında Vietnam coğrafyasına dönük askerî harekâtlar, bu coğrafyanın tarihsel arka planı temelinde değerlendirilecektir. Bu bağlamda Moğollara karşı direnişin Vietnam tarihinde bıraktığı ize de değinilecek, kökünü ortaçağda yaşanan olaylardan alan birleştirici kolektif kimlik motiflerinden biri olarak Moğol kuvvetlerine karşı son mücadeleyi veren Dai Viet prensi Tran Hung Dao üzerinde durulacaktır.

According to this doctrine, India can militarize in a quick way and use small retaliatory attacks on Pakistan without trespassing into their nuclear part. Cold Start gives an advantage to India for being more capable of a conventional mobilization when acting together with their Air Force. This might escalate the risk of nuclear war in the subcontinent. In this paper, the strategic balance of Pakistan and India is compared. It also examines how the Cold Start doctrine of India affected Pakistan's nuclear weapon policy and Pakistan moved toward 'First Strike Use'.

The study sought to determine the extent to which students perceive level of self-directedness, motivation, and their performances as a Grade 10 students. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design. This focused on describing the students' perceptions of the level of self-directedness in TLE in terms of being a dependent learner, interested learner, involved learner, and self- directed learner. The study's findings revealed that student respondents' perceptions of their level of selfdirectedness fall only on being a dependent learner which is the stage 1 on self-directed learner. They are merely dependent on extrinsic variables which most of the learner-respondents always perceive and consider themselves as a dependent learner. This reflected the result on their perceived level of motivation which findings shown that the learners corresponded a lot on extrinsic variables. The study revealed that self-directedness and student’s performance have no significant relationship. However, there is a weak relationship between the learner’s level of motivation and written performance variable. Further research must be conducted along this light, to explore the extent of self-directedness to have positive effect to the students’ performance in TLE.
