Published: January 2024

Squamous cell lung carcinoma (SCC) is a form of non-small cell lung cancer that commonly arises in the primary airway. The development of SCC is closely linked to changes in squamous cells that line the airways, primarily caused by exposure to tobacco smoke. To gain insights into SCC, bioinformatics techniques have been employed to detect biomarkers and analyze gene expression patterns, utilizing data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, which was preprocessed for analysis. By employing DESeq2, a differential gene expression analysis method, identified genes showed significant variations in expression between smoking and non-smoking groups among the 11,530 genes examined. Notably, five genes, namely CT45A1, GCGR, TPTE, ABCC2, and PI16, were found to play a significant role in tumor development and were susceptible to under- or over-expression due to smoking. The majority of these genes were found to be underexpressed rather than overexpressed. These identified genes hold potential as biomarkers for tumor development and exhibit a strong correlation between smoking history and the development of SCC. However, a limitation encountered during this analysis was the unavailability of data from normal non-tumor patients, which could have facilitated a more comprehensive analysis of differential gene expression. Furthermore, this research gives a deeper implementation regarding the molecular mechanisms and genomics underlying SCC development, identifies differentially expressed genes associated with SCC and smoking history, and highlights potential biomarkers that warrant further investigation.

Published: January 2024

Problem: Certain events are symptomatic of institutional and organisational development in relatively new sports. They therefore deserve to be described and interpreted. This is about a newly established sports association in Poland in the field of sports jujutsu /ju-jitsu.Method: Autoethnography and visual sociology / visual ethnography are the basic methods of the applied qualitative research methodology. The selection and analysis of the photographic material took place.Results: On the basis of the theory of martial arts tourism, the purpose of the meeting of the leaders of the Dan Commission operating within the Polish Ju-Jitsu Sports Association was defined. A solemn promotion to the highest ranks took place. Afterwards there was another meeting of several leaders of martial arts and combat sports.Conclusions: The described meetings of leaders - holders of the highest master degrees - create the history of martial arts and combat sports practiced in Poland. The ceremonies of awarding certificates, the manner of honouring the high-ranking champions, as well as the documentation of achievements and legitimisation of powers are forms of institutionalisation or sometimes ritualisation of activities within a given organisation.

Field experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of micropropagated plantlets inoculated in vitro with Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus on the population counts of diazotroph, plant growth, yield, quality and ultimately planting material of sugarcane cultivar CoS 96268. Maximum cell counts (5.8 × 105 cells/g fresh weight) was obtained in the in vitro, treated micropropagated plantlets-followed by untreated micropropagated plantlets (4.7 × 104 cells/g fresh weight) while it was only 3.7 x104 cells/g fresh weight in conventionally grown plants. The highest cell counts of Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus was recorded at grand growth stage which decreased at maturity. Inoculation with diazotroph improved dry matter accumulation specially in roots accompanied by higher uptake of nitrogen and potassium in micropropagated plantlets. There was significant increase in number of millable canes, cane length, number of nodes, cane diameter and cane yield. Besides, treated plantlets produced 5.45 and 1.52 times higher planting material (3 budded setts) over conventionally grown plants and un-treated micropropagated plantlets, respectively. Results signify the use of inoculation with diazotrophic bacteria in micropropagated plantlets for faster multiplication of disease-free healthy seed cane of sugarcane varieties for their adoption.

Authors: DUBEY S C , TRIPATHI ARADHIKA , SINGH BIRENDRA
Published: January 2024

The efficacy of seed dressing and soil application formulations developed from the isolates of Trichoderma viride (IARI P1; MTCC 5369), T. virens (IARI P3; MTCC 5370) and T. harzianum (IARI P4; MTCC 5371) was evaluated individually and in combinations under pot and field experiments during the winter seasons of 2005–06, 2006–07 and 2007–08 for the management of wet root rot caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kühn and improvement in the yield of chickpea. Under pot experiments, T. virens based seed dressing formulation, viz. Pusa 5SD and soil application formulations, viz Pusa Biopellet 16G (PBP 16G) and Pusa Biogranule 6 (PBG 6) were found to be superior to other formulations in reducing wet root rot incidence and increasing the seed germination, shoot and root lengths in chickpea. Under field experiments, a combination of soil application of PBP 16G (T. virens) and seed treatment with either a combination of Pusa 5SD (T. virens) and carboxin or Pusa 5SD (T. virens) alone was superior to any of these formulations individually in increasing the seed germination, shoot and root lengths and grain yield and reducing the wet root rot incidence in chickpea. Seed treatment was more effective than soil application for all the parameters. Both soil application and seed treatment formulations enhanced the growth of the plants indicating growth promoting ability of the isolates used for development of the formulations. The efficacy of the formulations evaluated for the first time against wet root rot of chickpea.

Published: January 2024

Two different molecular methods namely, Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Inter Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) were used to measure genetic diversity among thirteen commercially important cultivars of papaya and two species of useful wild papaya. Eleven ISSR and 16 RAPD primers were screened to amplify a total of 75 and 118 bands respectively. Of these, approximately 35% and 37.2% of the bands were polymorphic in each. Genetic similarity was computed and results displayed graphically as dendrogram generated by UPGMA cluster analysis showing the relationships among wild and cultivated papaya cultivars. Both methods revealed different groupings of the eleven cultivars of papaya. On the basis of correlation of data with morphological grouping based on fruit pulp colour and plant height, ISSR was judged to be best method for analyzing all papaya germplasm.

REPRESENTASI ROMANTISME DALAM LIRIK LAGU JATUH SUKA KARYA TULUS: KAJIAN SEMIOTIKA PEIRCE
Authors: Riswari Aninditya Ardhana
Published: January 2024

Lirik lagu Jatuh Suka yang ditulis oleh Tulus secara sederhana menggambarkan rasa suka seseorang terhadap orang lain, yang disajikan dengan mengikuti kaidah kebahasaan yang baik. Setiap kata yang muncul dalam Jatuh Suka menyiratkan simbol atas sesuatu yang menjadikan lagu ini memiliki keunikan. Untuk itu penelitian ini disusun dengan tujuan menganalisis representasi romantisme dalam lirik lagu Jatuh Suka karya Tulus melalui kajian semiotika Peirce. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian kualitatif, yang dibarengi dengan menggunakan teori semiotika Pierce. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa wujud romantisme yang hadir pada lirik lagu Jatuh Suka, pertama, muncul pada penggalan kata, “beginikah surga?” yang memberikan isyarat bahwa seseorang yang disukai adalah representasi dari surga, yakni sebuah tempat yang damai dan indah. Kedua, wujud romantisme muncul pada penggalan, “Ini semua bukan salahmu punya magis perekat yang sekuat itu,” di mana dalam konteks romantisme upaya mencintai seseorang adalah sesuatu yang bersifat abu-abu. Artinya, tidak ada sesuatu yang dirasa benar atau salah. Ketiga, penggalan kata, “maafkan, aku jatuh suka,” menjadi simbol atas representasi romantisme tertinggi yakni rasa ikhlas, di mana penulis menyiratkan rasa rendah hati atas perasaan yang tengah dialami. Oleh sebab itu dapat disimpulkan bahwa lagu Jatuh Suka muncul menjadi antitesis dari sebuah tulisan bergenre asmara yang berhasil “mematahkan” bahwa lagu cinta tidak melulu menyampaikan perasaan secara “terbuka” atau gambling, karena Jatuh Suka justru muncul menjadi tulisan atas menyukai seseorang dalam tatanan yang pas, sederhana, cukup, rendah hati, dan sadar diri.

Coir stripping or known as stripping is also done using a tool made of iron in the form of a crowbar about 80 cm high with the sharp part facing upwards. At the bottom of this tool is given a seat so that the iron does not sink into the ground. Trained workers are able to peel an average of 500-1000 coconuts every day. This study uses a descriptive method that describes the facts that occur in the field. In this review, the researcher addresses the most common ways of gathering information through observation, interviews and documentation. Informants, in this case the residents of the old silo village, are direct sources of this data. This kind of data collection was used, among other things, to collect information from key informants, namely people who immediately knew about the problems being researched. In the old silo village of Teluk Nibung area in Tanjung Balai and Aer Joman in Asahan, the deputy governor visited points. Even though it is part of women’s empowerment, for Nurhajizah, wages of IDR 250-IDR 300 per kilogram are too low to be considered decent. Moreover, working from morning to evening, starting at 9.00-17.00, they receive only around Rp. 15-25 thousand per day. Application of Checking Coconuts In the old silo village to find out how to make and use it, the people in the village have one of their livelihoods, namely picking coconuts even though the wages are which can be obtained at a low nominal. Particularly for the female community, when they clean coconuts using their own knife, the way they peel them is very good and professional, so that the researchers who tried to peel the coconuts found it difficult and it was not as easy as it looked.

Technology has always been playing a significant role in interpretation and presentation of cultural heritage, both the objects exhibited in museums and heritage present in situ. Enhancement in the field of extended reality can be seen as the gamechanger for the heritage presentation, with the immersiveness and gamification having the potential of turning nonvisitors into visitors. Cultural institutions, city governments, tourist offices and heritage sites are turning towards the concepts of immersive and gamified heritage, trying to reach new segments of visitors and tourists. The paper brings an extensive contemporary literature review on the immersive technologies in museums and heritage sites, and audience development trends in museums in general. The paper deals with the research problem of immersive technologies as audience development strategies of Croatian museums. The research questions are the following: Is the general population interested in current museums' offerings? Will the interest for the museums' offerings rise if they would offer an immersive and gamified experience? The research has been conducted on the general population as cultural audiences, exploring their attitudes towards museums, video games, immersive realities, and use of gamification and immersiveness in museum offerings.

Published: January 2024

Pigeon breeding is culturally significant worldwide, including in Pakistan, where highflyers have been valued because of their exceptional flight capabilities and genetic traits. The Present study aimed at exploring the unique genetic traits. Eight representative pigeons of different breeds were selected, which include Teddy, kalsira, lakha, kamghar, Sialkoti, Salar, Cheena Chapra and Golden. The total time for training was 7 weeks, and after the training, data from two successive releases was recorded. The starting time for the flight and the landing back to home time was also recorded. It was seen that the Sialkoti pigeon breed fly with exceptional ability of 11hr27min during first release, followed by Teddy pigeons that flew about 1hour and 9min, and Kalsira (an ancient breed from the Mughal era) flew at about 10hr 04min. The morphological parameters (plumage colour, Iris colour, head type, tarsi, claws colour) were also examined. This study is important in two aspects.  Culturally, this study shows highflyers' importance in preserving traditional knowledge of Punjab heritage. From a scientific point of view, this study contributes to understanding the genetic conservation of avian genetics and flight behaviour. Further research on the molecular level may confirm the present studies.

For patients suffering from pathological conditions, Intravenous infusion serves to be the go-to treatment, it requires for a medical practitioner to set up the IV infusion device up as per the doctors’ instructions, followed by periodic supervision as abnormalities may occur. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the construction of an automated intravenous infusion control system. Medical and laboratory fluid control has previously been achieved using pressure-based flow sensing, ultrasonic flow measurement, optical flow sensors, capacitive flow sensing, and thermal flow sensing. Due to its reduced susceptibility to external factors, our approach utilizing an IR sensor is particularly advantageous in IV scenarios for accurately detecting fluid drops. An IR sensor, microcontroller, servo motor/peristaltic pump, and an affordable microcontroller are used in this system to allow precise saline circulation rate control. An input control system can be implemented through either a matrix keypad or a single control network server. Controls the drops per minute and allows internet-based server-side control via IR sensor, 3x4 matrix keypad, and Bluetooth module. To accurately measure the saline flow rate and count drops, an IR sensor is integrated into the drip chamber of the saline container. In order to achieve the desired blood flow rate, the microcontroller continuously compares the sensor readings with the commands and adjusts the servo motor/peristaltic pump accordingly. Testing of the completed hardware provided satisfactory results, proving the device's ability to enhance patient care.

Role of Decision-Making Dynamics and Farm Participation in Succession: The Case of Philippine Coffee Farming Households
Authors: Deluna Jr. Roperto S.
Published: January 2024

Succession is crucial to ensure agricultural sustainability, food security, and rural development in the agriculture sector. Existing succession studies focus on analyzing how demographics, farm, and social characteristics affect the likelihood of having a successor. There is scarce literature on how household members' decision-making involvement and farm participation affect the likelihood of succession. The effect of access to agricultural services was also examined in this study.  A Probit model was used in the analysis using information from 755 coffee farming households in nine (9) regions of the Philippines. Our result shows that gender-specific farm activity participation is more important than the degree of decision-making involvement in the likelihood of farm succession. To increase the likelihood of farm succession, any interventions and extensions should include a component that enhances youth participation in the actual farm activities. Membership of head to an agricultural organization, and women's access and participation in training enhance succession. The study supplements theoretical literature on farm succession by providing measurements on inclusive farm activity participation, decision-making within the household, and how it affects farm succession likelihood. A critical factor that should be considered in analyzing farm succession.

Published: January 2024

This paper is an exploratory study that aims to identify, describe, and compare the level of social capital on two types of cooperatives that have existed for a long time. The factors are determined by examining the structure of the organization and the members social capital. There were 120 respondents who were interviewed using the survey questionnaire to determine the members socio-demographic characteristics and ascertain the members level of social capital. A concurrent mixed method was used in the gathering and analysis of data. This study found that the member-respondents of the cooperatives have shown a high level of social capital in three dimensions: trust, norms, and reciprocity; networks and collective actions; and information and empowerment. However, the result of the T-test shows a significant difference between cooperatives in two dimensions: 1) trust, norms, and reciprocity, and 2) networks and collective actions. An examination of the profile of the organizations and their members revealed that the members ethnicity, religiosity, close family ties, and neighborliness may have contributed to a significant difference in these dimensions. Furthermore, the factors mentioned were found to impact how the cooperatives respond to, cope with, and mitigate threats, crises, and disasters. Furthermore, between cooperatives, better social capital is associated with better resiliency. This study recommends a more robust network affiliation with cooperatives in Bukidnon, Philippines and other cooperatives in the locale. It also recommends that the cooperatives may conduct routine risk assessments and create innovative ways to sustain the members social capital.

Published: January 2024

O objetivo desta pesquisa é examinar a literatura sobre contratações públicas nacionais e internacionais aderentes à abordagem teórica da Análise Econômica do Direito. Em seguida, analisar a parcela da literatura sobre contratações públicas cujo enfoque seja na mitigação dos custos de transação e promoção do bem-estar social, convergindo os conceitos de eficiência e justiça. Isto é, mostra-se em que medida pesquisadores se preocupam em antever os efeitos das alterações na legislação de licitações para evitar a implementação de regras e incentivos ineficazes ou injustos e reduzir a ineficiência e os elevados custos de transação do processo de contratações públicas. Os resultados sugerem que uma parte significativa da literatura sobre contratações públicas não é fundamentada em teoria, isto é, e se limitam à análises de natureza empírica Esse baixo percentual de pesquisas fundamentadas em teoria é mais frequente em periódicos nacionais da administração e em periódicos com foco em contratações públicas. Essa constatação é um sinal de que a literatura sobre contratações públicas pode não estar madura e que se encontra aberta para novas abordagens teóricas.
PESSOA, ORDEM, DIREITOS E LIBERDADES:

Published: January 2024

O ensaio aborda o debate sobre os direitos das pessoas com deficiência, considerando como pilar da ordem liberal a antropologia baseada em uma ordem hierárquica de desejos. A hipótese é de que esta antropologia se desenvolve pela ideia de Liberalismo Político formulada por John Rawls, que propõe uma ordem ideal na qual todas as reivindicações estão sujeitas à capacidade dos sujeitos de serem razoáveis. Em sentido diverso e com fundamento na teoria de Thomas Humphrey Marshall, proponho que os direitos sociais sejam baseados em uma antropologia absolutamente diversa, a partir da qual cidadãos e cidadãs não são responsáveis por suas preferências. Nessa perspectiva, o paternalismo é analizado a partir do famo caso do arremesso de anões e suas repercussões sobre a dignidade, concluindo ao final que os direitos não devem ser concebidos como parte de uma ordem ideal, mas como instrumentos de procedimentalização dos conflitos políticos.

Published: January 2024

This study investigated the influence of personal skills for telework on organisational commitment as mediated by the intensity of telework. Data collected from a survey of 320 employees whose organisations provided the option of remote work were analysed. The results reveal that the influence of personal skills for telework on the affective, continuance, and normative organisational commitment dimensions is partly mediated by the perceived intensity of telework. The study revealed that this relationship is mediated at different levels by the intensity of telework. Good personal telework skills have the strongest influence on emotional attachment to the organisation, a somewhat weaker influence on continuance commitment that is linked to the fear of changing jobs, and the weakest influence on normative commitment, which emphasises the sense of responsibility to remain with an organisation. This study fills a research gap and contributes to existing telework intensity studies in the context of crisis (i.e., the COVID -19 pandemic).

Published: January 2024

Background: In diabetic patients, lipid profile (LP) management is crucial. Quercetin (QUE), as an antioxidant supplement, has received a great deal of attention in improving the LP. Objectives: The current study aimed to investigate the simultaneous effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and QUE on LP in male diabetic rats. Methods: Fifty Wistar male rats were randomly assigned to healthy control (HC; n = 10), diabetic control (DC; n = 10), high-intensity interval training (HIIT; n = 10), quercetin supplement (QS; n = 10), high-intensity interval training and quercetin (HIIQ; n = 10). QUE was given (20 mg/kg/d) to the animals daily for six weeks. HIIT has performed five sessions per week for six weeks in 8-10 sets with 85 - 65% of the maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) on the treadmill. Blood samples were taken directly from the animal’s heart 48 hours after the last training session, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low-density lipoproteins (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG) cholesterol (CHOL), and fasting blood glucose (FBS) were measured in the serum. To analyze the data, two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's post hoc test were used. Results: There was no significant difference between HIIQ with HIIT, QS in LDH-C and LDL-C (P > 0.05). Also, no significant difference was seen between HIIT, QS, and HIIQ in TG concentration after intervention (P > 0.05). CHOL was significantly lower in HIIT than QS (P = 0.001), while there was no significant difference between the HIIQ with QS (P > 0.05). Also, there was no significant difference between QS and HIIQ in FBS (P > 0.05). Conclusions: It seems that high-intensity interval training and quercetin alone can be effective in improving lipid profile. However, quercetin does not have a synergetic effect with high-intensity interval training in ameliorating lipid profile in diabetic male rats.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common and debilitating sleep disorder with both mental and physical complications. Although medical treatments may improve OSA symptoms, they may not affect its mental sequelae. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of training the components of compassion-focused therapy (CFT) on sleep quality, anxiety, and memory in patients with OSA. Methods: This experimental study was performed on 37 patients (18 to 65 years old) with confirmed OSA diagnosed in the past year with a minimum apnea index score of 5 and no history of medical or psychiatric diseases. The study was conducted between 2022 and 2023. Exclusion criteria were being absent from more than two training sessions, experiencing stressful events, and refusing to continue the study. The intervention group (n = 19) received the training component of CFT in 8 sessions (once a week), while the control group received no psychological intervention. The Pittsburg sleep quality index (PSQI), Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), Rey-Osterrieth complex figure (ROCF), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), as well as a demographic information questionnaire, were filled out by the participants at the baseline and after the intervention. Results: There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of demographic variables. The training component of CFT was effective in reducing anxiety and improving sleep quality, as well as the auditory-verbal and visual-spatial components of short-term memory in patients with OSA (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The training component of CFT was efficient and beneficial in reducing anxiety and improving immediate memory and sleep quality in patients with OSA.

Published: January 2024

Background: Acute psychiatric problems are increasingly observed following substance abuse in emergency departments. To address this significant societal issue, it is essential to understand its various dimensions in order to develop comprehensive control policies. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate substance use and its related factors in patients admitted to a psychiatric emergency ward in Sari, Mazandaran, Iran. Methods: In this cross sectional investigation, all patients who were admitted to the emergency department of Zare referral psychiatry hospital during the previous one year were studied. A checklist of demographic and psychiatric factors was completed for each patient based on their medical records. Urine rapid tests were routinely conducted in this department to screen for drug consumption. Descriptive statistics, central and dispersion indices, and the chi-square test were used to analyze the data. Results: A total of 578 cases, comprising 406 males (70.2%) and 172 females (29.8%), were examined. The mean age of patients was 34.7 ± 11.2 years. The most common symptoms reported were aggression (50.5%), insomnia (11.2%), paranoia (10.7%), and self-talk (8.1%), respectively. The most frequent final clinical diagnosis was bipolar disorder in 145 cases (25.1%), followed by schizophrenia in 131 cases (22.7%), and substance-induced psychotic disorder in 63 cases (10.9%). In the substance use screening among patients, the urine test was positive for morphine in 17.6% of the patients. Methamphetamine, methadone, and cannabis tests were positive in 16.1%, 9.5%, and 3.5% of cases, respectively. Among patients with positive urine tests (for methamphetamine, methadone, or morphine), the most common clinical diagnosis was substance-induced psychotic disorder, followed by schizophrenia. Schizophrenia and substance-induced psychotic disorder were the two most common diagnoses in patients with positive cannabis urine tests, respectively. Conclusions: The high rate of substance abuse among psychiatric emergency patients, often co-occurring with other psychiatric disorders, the high prevalence of psychosis, and the behavioral risks associated with these patients emphasize the need for special attention to this biopsychosocial problem.
