Published: September 2023

In the present study, a zinc(II) complex with 4-ethynyl-2,2?-bipyridine (ebpy), [Zn(ebpy)Cl2], was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic (1H-NMR, IR and UV?Vis) methods and molar conductivity measurement. The crystal structure of the [Zn(ebpy)Cl2] complex was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, confirming the bidentate coordination of the ebpy ligand through its two nitrogen atoms, while the remaining two coordination sites are occupied by two chloride ions. With the aim to investigate the reactivity of the synthesized zinc(II) complex toward biologically important molecules, its binding affinity to calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by fluorescence emission spectroscopy. From the obtained results, it can be concluded that [Zn(ebpy)Cl2] complex binds to bovine serum albumin reversibly, while the combination of ethidium bromide (EthBr) and Hoechst 33258 (2?-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-[5-(4-methylpiperazine- 1-yl)benzimidazo-2-yl]-benzimidazole) competitive binding study suggests that this complex interacts with ct-DNA through the minor groove binding, which is in agreement with molecular docking study.
Association of Both Short-term and Long-term Glycemic Variability With the Development of Microalbuminuria in the ACCORD Trial

Published: September 2023

Both long- and short-term glycemic variability have been associated with incident diabetes complications. We evaluated their relative and potential additive effects on incident renal complications in the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes trial. A marker of short-term glycemic variability, 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), was measured in 4,000 random 12-month postrandomization plasma samples (when hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] was stable). Visit-to-visit fasting plasma glucose coefficient of variation (CV-FPG) was determined from 4 months postrandomization until the end point of microalbuminuria or macroalbuminuria. Using Cox proportional hazards models, high CV-FPG and low 1,5-AG were independently associated with microalbuminuria after adjusting for clinical risk factors. However, only the CV-FPG association remained after additional adjustment for average HbA1c. Only CV-FPG was a significant risk factor for macroalbuminuria. This post hoc analysis indicates that long-term rather than short-term glycemic variability better predicts the risk of renal disease in type 2 diabetes.

Article Highlights

The relative and potential additive effects of long- and short-term glycemic variability on the development of diabetic complications are unknown. We aimed to assess the individual and combined relationships of long-term visit-to-visit glycemic variability, measured as the coefficient of variation of fasting plasma glucose, and short-term glucose fluctuation, estimated by the biomarker 1,5-anhydroglucitol, with the development of proteinuria. Both estimates of glycemic variability were independently associated with microalbuminuria, but only long-term glycemic variability remained significant after adjusting for average hemoglobin A1c. Our findings suggest that longer-term visit-to-visit glucose variability improves renal disease prediction in type 2 diabetes.
Numerical analysis of the effect of energy distribution on weld width during oscillating laser welding of aluminum alloy
Authors: Ai Yuewei , Yan Yachao , Han Shibo
Published: September 2023

The weld morphology of aluminum alloy oscillating laser welding has an important influence on the quality of welded joints. To understand the formation process of the weld morphology, the three-dimensional numerical simulation model and energy distribution model for circular shaped oscillating laser welding of 6061 aluminum alloy are developed in this paper to analyze the characteristics of weld morphology and the effect of the energy distribution on the weld width. The cross section of the weld and the energy distribution on the processing surface are obtained under the conditions of different oscillation frequencies. It is found that the left width of the weld is larger than the right width of the weld and the energy density on the left side of the weld is more concentrated than that on the right side of the weld. With the oscillation frequency increases, the weld width and peak of energy density decrease. Furthermore, the formation mechanism of the difference in weld width is revealed based on the energy distribution law of the oscillating laser welding process, which is of great significance for improving the quality of aluminum alloy oscillating laser welding.

Quem é o aluno bilíngue?
Authors: Mizukami Adriana Carvalho , Lodi Ana Cláudia
Published: September 2023

Este artigo busca compreender, por meio da análise dos Projetos Político-Pedagógicos de duas escolas (A e B) que se autodenominavam bilíngues, quem é o aluno que elas pretendem formar. Observou-se que, enquanto a proposta da escola A visava que os alunos se tornassem bilíngues a partir da vivência das línguas no ambiente escolar, transitando entre elas e colocando-as em constante contato, a proposta da escola B partia do pressuposto de que o aluno bilíngue é aquele que aprende uma língua estrangeira de forma independente da língua nativa, portanto em ambiente monolíngue. Conclui-se assim, que da mesma forma que há diferentes maneiras de se compreender bilinguismo, também não existe uma única maneira de se pensar a educação bilíngue. Em comum entre as propostas há, apenas, a promessa de um futuro melhor àqueles que souberem uma língua estrangeira, em especial o inglês.

Innovación, productividad y diseño desde la complejidad
Authors: Fragoso Susunaga Olivia
Published: September 2023

Este trabajo es una reflexión sobre el fenómeno de la Innovación-Productividad-Diseño (IPD) desde la óptica de la complejidad. Se expone la necesidad de hablar de la importancia de este vínculo desde un punto de vista que considere una lógica alterna para entender la realidad que posibilite la comprensión de fenómenos como la desigualdad y la pobreza como un problema urgente de ser atendido desde las políticas públicas de desarrollo, específicamente aquellas que se generan en el contexto de las instituciones públicas de educación superior. Hablar de IPD en un país como México, en el que hay un serio problema de pobreza y desigualdad que ha sido expuesto en diversas obras como la de Carlos Tello (2012), debería dejar en segundo plano abordajes centrados en posiciones que favorecen el enriquecimiento de grupos, sujetos o naciones a costa de la explotación, la marginación y el ejercicio del poder económico para el aumento del capital privado.

Bioactivation effects of spirulina microalga and humic acid on safflower (Carthamus tinctorius)
Authors: Mohsenzadeh Sasan , Doorandish Faeze , Mobarakeh Arefeh Mohammadian , Mohsenzadeh Mahdi
Published: September 2023

The Carthamus tinctorius, commonly known as safflower, is an annual plant with numerous branches and thorns from the Asteraceae family. For this experiment, three treatments were applied to the pots: humic acid, spirulina microalgae, and a mixture of both to analyze their bioactivation effects. These treatments were applied three times per week over the course of two weeks, with irrigation taking place every other day. The wet weight of the aerial parts of the harvested plants was measured and placed in liquid nitrogen, then stored in a freezer. Chlorophyll, carotenoids, proline, protein, phenol, antioxidants, and malondialdehyde were measured. The results show that several bioactivators significantly increased the growth, chlorophyll, carotenoids, protein, and proline of safflower plants when compared to the control. The three treatments reduced the antioxidant and malondialdehyde content significantly. In contrast to the control condition, the mixture of humic acid and spirulina microalgae, as well as humic acid alone, decreased the phenolic content. The findings demonstrated that humic acid and spirulina microalgae can serve as positive plant bioactivators for safflower by boosting its growth and reducing stress.

Published: September 2023

Apple farming is a new production venture across the North Shewa Zone. Its production, harvest, postharvest handling, and marketing status are not well known. This study was conducted to assess the above-lined situations across the district. Four representative locations, Asabahir, Tsigereda, Tengego, and Godnamamas were selected based on their apple production status. Then, a total of 88 respondents were randomly selected and interviewed by a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics of percentage, standard deviation, and chi-square tests. A larger percentage of farmers are male (82.9%), in their active production age (41.7%), and produce apples in their backyard (85.25%). The agronomic management of fertilization, pruning, training, and plant spacing deviate from the recommended practices of apple farming. Whereas varietal distribution, irrigation, and post-harvest treatments are better practiced. Loss of fruits by fruit drops and discrimination on the market due to small fruit size are serious problems across the locations. Regarding apple farming, the farmers think of it as a productive venture and got a better price per kg and single fruit sale. They sell mainly in local collectors (60.2%) and nearby cities. As for institutional support, the farmers got apple seedlings, training, and capacity buildings by Agriculture Offices and NGOs, even if the farmers are still in higher need of better support. Therefore, it can be concluded that if not outwaited by poor tree management, destructive product transportation, and higher loss of fruits from trees and in the market, the attitude of the farmers can be capitalized in better production of apples.

No doubt internet technology has provided us lot of benefits; however, it also operates as a breeding environment for certain undesirable behaviours, one example of such undesirable behaviour is cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is the misuse of technology with the intention to harass and harm others. Due to the fact that it is a common problem among youngster and has more harmful effects than expected. It has many negative consequences on its victims such as stress, anxiety, social dissatisfaction, negative school attitude and in some cases substances abuse, depression, physical harm, mental strain and in extreme cases suicide also. That is the reasons why it is treated as the disease in the 21st century. The tragic events and increased incidence of this new kind of bullying have therefore made researchers, educators, government officials, and parents aware of its severe ramifications. The main aim of this paper is to highlight cyberbullying and its expected consequences on the youngsters in the present digital age.

Authors: Deepika Lohan , Dr. Rajesh Kumar
Published: September 2023

All individuals are blessed with certain abilities to cope with difficult situations. The important question, however, is what types of coping behavior contribute to favorable outcomes. The aim of the research was to study coping skills (approach and avoidance), and pain disability among persons with hemophilia. A total of 50 PWH participated in the study and were divided into 2 age groups (19-24) and (25-30). The data was collected from all over India. Hemophilia A and B, both were included in the sample along with all three severity types (mild, moderate & severe). Standardized scales such as The Brief Cope (Charles S. Carver.,1997) and Pain Disability Questionnaire (Anagnostis C, Gatchel, R J. & Mayer, Tom G 2004) were used. The obtained results were tabulated, and correlation and independent t-test was used to compare the means of two age groups. The correlation of pain disability was found to be positive and significantly related to approach coping (r= .08) and avoidance coping (r=0.10). There was not a significant difference in approach coping between the (19-24) age group (M = 36.96, SD =7.18) and (25-30) age group (M = 37.36, SD = 6.54); t(48) = -0.22. This paper highlights the dire need to equip psychosocial assessment and counseling to complete the comprehensive care of hemophilia. To comprehend the PWH coping dynamics, it’s critical to identify the current support network.

Urban Land Use Dynamics and Assessment of Environmental Risks in Bhowali Urban Zone, Kumaon Lesser Himalaya, India using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System
Authors: Kweera Manika , Tiwari P.C.
Published: September 2023

The study monitored the land use dynamics and its environmental risks in the fast-growing township of Bhowali situated in Kumaon Lesser Himalaya, district Nainital, Uttarakhand, India using an integrated geospatial technique. The major objective of the study is to assess the trends and magnitude of land use changes and assess its environmental implications over the past three decades. The supervised digital interpretation of Landsat TM data of 1991 and Landsat OLI/TIRS data of 2021 was carried out using QGIS 3.16 software to map and monitor land use dynamics. The drivers of urban growth and its environmental impacts have been investigated by analyzing the information generated from field surveys, focused group discussions and key respondents’ interviews and interpretation of secondary data collected from diverse sources. The study’s findings indicate that the built-up area and vegetation cover of the Bhowali urban zone have increased by about 26.68% (i.e. 1.83 km²) and 6.27% (i.e. 0.43 km²) respectively. In contrast, the area under the cultivated land decreased by about 32.95% (i.e. 2.26 km²) over the past three decades. This clearly indicated that the urban built-up area has been fast encroaching upon the natural forests and prime cultivated land in the absence of an urban land use policy. The study also observed that 55% of the built-up area of the town is located in an environmentally unsafe zone disrupting hydrological processes and increasing the vulnerability of the town to the risk of slope failures, landslides and flash-flood under climate change. Further, the unplanned urban growth is increasing the socio-economic disparities by increasing the proportion of urban poor and the population with no access to drinking water, toilets and road, increasing the susceptibility of a large population, particularly underprivileged and poor, to a variety of climate change-induced risks. It is, therefore, inevitable to evolve and implement a comprehensive urban land use policy and a framework for climate-smart urban development considering the environmental sensitivity, ecological carrying capacity and projected trends in climate change.

Gempa bumi adalah fenomena alam yang sering terjadi di Indonesia, termasuk di Provinsi Papua. Untuk mengurangi risiko dampak gempa bumi, diperlukan analisis untuk mengidentifikasi daerah-daerah yang rawan terha  dap gempa bumi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis klasterisasi kerawanan gempa di Provinsi Papua menggunakan algoritma Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO). Metode ini dipilih karena dapat menghasilkan klaster yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan algoritma klasterisasi lainnya. Data yang digunakan adalah data kejadian gempa di Provinsi Papua yang terdiri dari atribut latitude, longitude, magnitude, dan depth mulai tahun 2018 sampai Februari 2023 yang diperoleh dari website Badan Geologi Amerika Serikat yaitu United States Geological Survey (USGS). Tahapan penelitian meliputi normalisasi data, klasterisasi menggunakan algoritma IWO, dan evaluasi hasil klasterisasi menggunakan SSE dan F-Measure. Jumlah klaster terbaik yang dihasilkan oleh metode Elbow yaitu sebanyak enam klaster kerawanan gempa di Provinsi Papua, yang diberi label Sangat Tidak Rawan, Tidak Rawan, Kurang Rawan, Cukup Rawan, Rawan dan Sangat Rawan. Dengan nilai parameter sinitial sebesar 8, algoritma IWO menghasilkan nilai SSE dan F-Measure terkecil dibanding nilai parameter sinitial lainnya, yaitu masing-masing sebesar 19.1002 dan 0.5137. Evaluasi hasil klasterisasi menggunakan SSE menunjukkan nilai yang baik dari 30 kali percobaan, dengan rata-rata SSE sebesar 19.218, lebih kecil dibanding dengan rata-rata SSE hasil metode k­-Means dan DBSCAN yaitu masing-masing sebesar 19.307 dan 59.910.
Can a Coarse-grained Water Model Capture the Key Physical Features of the Hydrophobic Effect?
Authors: Ghosh Kuntal , Loose Timothy , Voth Gregory
Published: September 2023

Coarse-grained (CG) Molecular Dynamics can be a powerful method for probing complex processes. However, most CG force fields use pairwise non-bonded interaction potentials sets, which can limit their ability to capture complex multi-body phenomena such as the hydrophobic effect. As the hydrophobic effect primarily manifests itself due to the non-polar solute affecting the nearby hydrogen bonding network in water, capturing such effects using a simple one CG site or “bead” water model is a challenge. In this work, we systematically test the ability of CG one site water models for capturing critical features of the solvent environment around a hydrophobe as well as the Potential of Mean Force (PMF) of neopentane association. We study two bottom-up water models: a Simple Pairwise (SP) Force-Matched water model constructed using the Multiscale Coarse-Graining method and the Bottom-Up Many-Body Projected Water (BUMPer) model, which has three-body correlations implicitly embedded into it. We also test the top-down monatomic (mW) and the Machine Learned mW (ML-mW) water models. We find that the top-down models perform well in capturing the structural correlation in the water functions near the hydrophobe, but not the energetics of the PMF. BUMPer outperforms the SP water model in capturing structural correlations, but also gives an accurate PMF in contrast to the two mW models. Our study highlights the importance of including three-body interactions in CG water models, either explicitly or implicitly, while in general highlighting the applicability of bottom-up CG water models for studying hydrophobic association effects in a quantitative fashion.
