Published: May 2023

El presente artículo explora las prácticas sociopolíticas indígenas en la antigua provincia de Huamachuco (norte del Perú), a través del análisis de un documento legal de la primera década del siglo XVII. Se analiza un pleito sobre la organización política indígena del área, ilustrando sobre la interacción entre un cacicazgo en la sierra de Huamachuco y un cacicazgo en una zona intermedia entre la costa y la sierra, el de Simbal. Basados en este estudio de caso, y el análisis de los argumentos presentados por las partes, se concluye la presencia de una fuerte permanencia de prácticas políticas prehispánicas, incluso preínca, durante el comienzo del periodo colonial, lo que se constituye en un aporte al conocimiento de la historia local y los regionalismos del área referentes a cacicazgos coloniales.
Will Africa meet the challenge of biodiversity conservation in the digital age?
Authors: GANGLO Jean Cossi
Published: May 2023

Digital Accessible Knowledge (DAK) is of utmost importance for biodiversity conservation. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF, www.gbif.org) is a mega data infrastructure with more than two billion and two hundred million occurrence records as of 17 January 2023. It is by far the largest initiative assembling and sharing DAK to support scientific research, conservation, and sustainable development. We decided to analyze plant data published at the GBIF site at the scale of Africa to highlight the contribution of the continent to the GBIF and thereby underline data gaps across taxonomic groups and geographic space. We therefore downloaded data on 17th January 2023 from the Plantae kingdom from Africa. They are available at https://doi.org/10.15468/dl.p2n6um. We achieved data treatment and analysis using R, several packages and related functions. Although Africa is home to rich biodiversity with many hotspots, the global data contribution of the continent to the GBIF (61,176,994 as of 17th January 2023) is still incredibly low (2.69%). Furthermore, there are huge disparities between African countries, with South Africa contributing alone for more than 50% of the data of the continent. The plant data of Africa (9,116,401 occurrence records) accounted for 14.90% of the data of the continent; this underlines huge gaps between taxonomic groups. We deplored important data loss during the process of data cleaning; indeed, the data fitness for purpose in completeness analysis were only 50.94% of the total data records initially downloaded. Efforts for quality check before data publication on GBIF site are still needed across African countries. The Magnoliopsida was the dominant plant class with the highest number of records (71.07%) and the highest number of species (68.36%), followed by Liliopsida, with 22.80% of the records and 19.06% of the species. In geographic space, plant data gaps are also quite large across the continent; data completeness is more achieved in West Africa, Southern Africa, East Africa, and Madagascar. Accessibility by roads and large protected areas (> 10,000 Km²) are limiting factors for data completeness across the continent. The large multidimensional data gaps identified in this study should be in priority addressed in future data collections.
Managing Legg Calve-Perthes Disease in a 12-Year-Old: A Case Study
Authors: Prajapati Manthan , Patel Tanvi , Rathod Mrudangsinh , Mistry Mansi
Published: May 2023

Perthes disease, also known as Legg Calve-Perthes disease, is a rare childhood condition that affects the hip bone. It is more commonly found in boys than girls and typically occurs between the ages of 5 and 10. While the exact cause is unknown, some suggest that persistent ischemia may be a factor. Symptoms of the disease include hip pain, limping while walking, pain that radiates to the knee, and hip stiffness. Upon examination, patients may experience reduced movements and abduction, restricted internal rotation, and shortening. Radiological findings may reveal a collapsed hip head and sclerosis, as well as an increase in the space of the hip joint, and the femoral head may even come out of the acetabulum. Treatment options range from conservative measures to operative procedures such as osteotomy, which can help to revascularize the necrotic bone.

The differentiation of naive CD8+ T cells into effector cells is important for establishing immunity. However, the effect of heterogeneous naive CD8+ T cell populations is not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that steady-state naive CD8+ T cells are composed of functionally heterogeneous subpopulations that differ in their ability to differentiate into type 17 cytotoxic effector cells (Tc17) in inflammatory disease models. The differential ability of Tc17 differentiation was not related to T-cell receptor (TCR) diversity and antigen specificity but was inversely correlated with self-reactivity acquired during development. Mechanistically, this phenomenon was linked to differential levels of intrinsic TCR sensitivity and basal SMAD3 expression, generating a wide spectrum of Tc17 differentiation potential within naive CD8+ T cell populations. These findings suggest that developmental self-reactivity can determine the fate of naive CD8+ T cells to generate functionally distinct effector populations and achieve immense diversity and complexity in antigen-specific T-cell immune responses.

Authors: Zeng Siyu , Du Lei , Lu Guojing , Xing Yiqiao
Published: May 2023

Purpose The irreversible death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. Cellular repressor of E1A-stimulated genes (CREG), a secreted glycoprotein involved in cellular proliferation and differentiation, has been shown to protect against myocardial and renal ischemia‐reperfusion damage. However, the role of CREG in retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to explore the effect of CREG on RGCs apoptosis after RIRI.Methods We used male C57BL/6J mice to establish the RIRI model. Recombinant CREG was injected at 1 day before RIRI. The expression and distribution of CREG were examined by immunofluorescence staining and western blotting. RGCs survival was assessed by immunofluorescence staining of flat-mounted retinas. Retinal apoptosis was measured by the staining of TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling and cleaved caspase-3. Electroretinogram analysis and optomotor response (ERG) were conducted to evaluate retinal function and visual acuity. The expressions of Akt, phospho-Akt (p-Akt), Bax, and Bcl-2 were analyzed by western blotting to determine the signaling pathways of CREG.Results We found that CREG expression was decreased after RIRI, and intravitreal injection of CREG attenuated RGCs loss and retinal apoptosis. Besides, there was a significant recovery of the ERG a- and b-wave amplitudes and visual function after treatment with CERG. Furthermore, intravitreal injection of CREG upregulated p-Akt and Bcl-2 expression and downregulated Bax expression.Conclusion Our results demonstrated that CREG protected RGCs from RIRI and alleviated retinal apoptosis by activating Akt signaling. In addition, CREG also improved retinal function and visual acuity.

The issue of mitigating natural disasters in various regions that the Baribis Fault passes is a matter of great importance, given the significant physical damage and loss of life that can result from such events. However, existing studies have tended to focus on the empirical aspects of such disasters resulting from the movement of the Baribis Fault, neglecting the fundamental cultural dimensions involved. Moreover, these studies have failed to recognize disaster mitigation resulting from the Baribis Fault as a socio-cultural issue that requires careful cultural analysis. To address these limitations, this study aims to investigate the strategies employed by local communities to cope with the difficulties caused by Baribis Fault-related disasters. To this end, a qualitative study was conducted on a range of cultural strategies that have been used to mitigate disasters in relevant areas. These cultural strategies were selected based on the criteria of locally based traditional oral and written knowledge, obtained through intensive interviews. The study reveals that technological and earth science solutions are not always sufficient to resolve disasters resulting from Baribis Fault activity, and that local culture and knowledge also play a crucial role in disaster mitigation. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of how cultural strategies employed by local communities can help to avoid disasters caused by the Baribis Fault, and highlights the need for a transformation of local knowledge regarding effective cultural strategies for mitigating such disasters. This transformation can have positive psychological implications and enhance community harmony.

Published: May 2023

Background- Inter- and intra-species exchange of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) primarily via mobile genetic elements take place in the gut. ARGs or antibiotic-resistant isolates can be transferred to neonate from the mother’s gut. This study evaluated carriage of mcr in pregnant mothers and their neonates along with deciphering transmission dynamics of mcr.Methods- Sample collected from pregnant mothers (rectal) and ill neonates (rectal & blood) were analyzed in terms of presence of mcr genes and its transmissibility, occurrence of plasmids and genome diversity of mcr-positive isolates, within an individual and across different individuals, to understand the exchange of mcr between isolates. Mother-to-baby transmission of mcr could not be assessed as babies of mcr-positive mothers were healthy and not included in the study.Results- mcr-1.1 was found in rectal samples of healthy pregnant mothers (0.9%), but not in the neonates. mcr-1.1 was detected in Escherichia coli. Isolates were susceptible to most antibiotics except colistin with few virulence genes and primarily belonged to phylogroup A and B1, which are considered as commensals. Twenty-five mcr–negative E. coli isolated from samples that carried mcr-positive isolates, were also studied. All E. coli were highly diverse and belonged to varied sequence types (STs), of which five were novel. Study isolates showed relatedness with mcr-bearing isolates from Bangladesh, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand and Laos. mcr-1.1 was mainly found in conjugative IncHI2 (~ 216-241kb), bracketed between ISApl1 on Tn6630. One isolate had mcr-1.1 in IncX4 (~ 33kb). Clonal spread of mcr-bearing bacteria between different mothers (inter-mother), and spread of identical mcr-bearing plasmid in same or different mothers was noted. Spread of identical mcr-1.1-bearing IncHI2 plasmid in different mothers suggested a role of the plasmid in spread of this gene. Unlike global isolates, study isolates were susceptible to most antibiotics tested, but showed similar IncHI2 plasmid harboring mcr-1.1.Conclusion- This is the first study to analyze presence of mcr-1.1 in pregnant mothers’ and neonates’ gut. This study highlighted transmission of mcr-1.1 within and between different healthy mothers, further underlining efficiency of mcr-1.1 plasmid in transmission. Such an event is concerning since it may enhance the chances of mother-to-neonate transmission.

PurposeThe current cadaveric case series evaluates and reports the morphology of the coracobrachialis muscle (CB), and the related musculocutaneous nerve (MCN) origin, course, and branching pattern, as well as associated adjacent muscular and neural variants.Materials and MethodsTwenty-seven formalin embalmed cadaveric arms (24 paired from 12 cadavers and 3 unpaired), were dissected to identify the CB possible variants with emphasis on the MCN course and coexisted neural variants.ResultsFour morphological types of the CB were found: a two-headed in 62.96% (17/27 arms), a three-headed in 22.2% (6/27), a one-headed in 11.1% (3/27) and a four-headed in 3.7% (1 arm). A CB variant morphology was identified in 37.04% (10/27). A three-headed biceps brachii coexisted in 23.53% (4/17). Two different MCN courses were recorded: a course between CB superficial and deep heads (in cases of two or more CB heads) (100%, 24/24), and a medial course in case of one-headed CB (100%, 3/3). The interconnection of the lateral cord with the median nerve median root was identified in 18.52%, the MCN with the median nerve in 7.41% and of the radial with the ulnar nerve in 3.71%. Duplication of the median nerve lateral root was identified in 11.1%.ConclusionsThe knowledge of the morphology of the muscles of the anterior arm compartment, especially CB variant morphology and the related MCN variable course, is of paramount importance for surgeons. Careful dissection and knowledge of relatively common variants play a significant role in reducing iatrogenic injury.

Published: May 2023

Powders of Titanium Carbide (TiC) along with Cupronickel (70Cu-30Ni) and Chromium (Cr) as binders, were deposited over SS316 steel specimens by using High Velocity Oxy Fuel (HVOF) process for obtaining novel composite coatings. Characterization of the developed coatings were analyzed by using Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Surface hardness, surface roughness, and porosity values of the developed coatings were evaluated. High stream water jet rig was availed for cavitation erosion tests, in which submerged specimens were pounded by high velocity water stream of water under variable impingement conditions comprising of stream velocity, Stand-off Distance (SOD), and angle of attack. Cavitation Erosion was evaluated and compared with coated and uncoated specimens. From the acquired data, it was deduced that HVOF coated specimens were more effective in resisting cavitation erosion with contrasted to uncoated steel specimens, owing to better microhardness. Moreover, coatings with titanium carbide (TiC) + 50% of cupronickel-chromium (70Cu-30Ni)-Cr were found to be more repellent to induced pressure waves than any other proportion of coatings for cavitation erosion tests due to the intermediate hardness and better damping effect imparted due to higher porosity. Further, mixed manner of failure was analyzed in case of TiC+50%(70Cu-30Ni)-Cr coating.
How do elementary students read poetry together? Elementary students’ reading practices using digital annotations
Authors: Song Miji , Lee Hyelin , Ko Jeonghee
Published: May 2023

The Zoom platform provided students in recent online classes, which had been necessitated by COVID-19, with opportunities for active expression using digital annotations. This study explores the experience of elementary students reading poetry using digital annotations and its usefulness as social constructivist reading. As such, we conducted a case study of an out-of-school literature class that used Zoom annotations, and collected data through participatory observation, activity materials, and interviews from 16 participating students. The data were analyzed by coding and categorizing common themes in two processes—annotation generating and sharing. We found that the digital annotations facilitated students’ comprehension of challenging texts. They shared their thoughts and reflected on each other’s opinions while generating and sharing annotations and socially constructing their appreciation. Digital annotations are significant in that they reveal the cooperative reading processes of students transparently, and they allow social annotations in literature classes in accordance with the interests and needs of the elementary students.
Lacing topological orders in two dimensions: Exactly solvable models for Kitaev's sixteen-fold way
Authors: Jin Jin-Tao , Miao Jian-Jian , Zhou Yi
Published: May 2023

A family of two-dimensional (2D) spin-1/2 models have been constructed to realize Kitaev’s sixteen-fold way of anyon theories. Defining a one-dimensional (1D) path through all the lattice sites, and performing the Jordan-Wigner transformation with the help of the 1D path, we find that such a spin-1/2 model is equivalent to a model with \nuν species of Majorana fermions coupled to a static \mathbb{Z}_2ℤ2 gauge field. Here each species of Majorana fermions gives rise to an energy band that carries a Chern number \mathcal{C}=1𝒞=1, yielding a total Chern number \mathcal{C}=\nu𝒞=ν. It has been shown that the ground states are three (four)-fold topologically degenerate on a torus, when \nuν is an odd (even) number. These exactly solvable models can be achieved by quantum simulations.

Bandgap tuning of TiO2 by Cu nanoparticles applied in photocatalytic antifouling-coated PES membranes through PAA-plasma grafted adhesive layer
Authors: Nguyen Hieu Trung , Bui Ha Manh
Published: May 2023

This study developed an antifouling coating for polyethersulfone (PES) membranes by tuning the bandgap of TiO2 with Cu nanoparticles (NPs) via a polyacrylic acid (PAA)-plasma-grafted intermediate layer. Cu NPs were synthesized at different molar ratios and precipitated onto TiO2 using the sol-gel method. The resulting Cu@TiO2 photocatalysts were characterized using various techniques, showing reduced bandgap, particle size range of 100–200 nm, and generation of reactive free radicals under light irradiation. The 25% Cu@TiO2 photocatalyst displayed the highest catalytic efficiency for Acid Blue 260 (AB260) degradation, achieving 73% and 96% with and without H2O2, respectively. Photocatalytic membranes based on this catalyst achieved an AB260 degradation efficiency of 91% and remained stable over five cycles. Additionally, sodium alginate-fouled photocatalytic membranes fully recovered water permeability after undergoing photocatalytic degradation of foulants. The modified membrane displayed a higher surface roughness due to the presence of photocatalyst particles. This study demonstrates the potential application of Cu@TiO2/PAA/PES photocatalytic membranes for mitigating membrane fouling in practice.
Natural Polymers with Bioactive Glass Additives for Bone Regeneration:
Chemistry and Trends
Authors: Duminis Tomas
Published: May 2023

Natural polymers, such as chitosan (CH) and gelatine (GE), have a wide range of uses in biological
environments. This is primarily attributed to their biocompatibility and the body’s recognition of
them being as “self” as opposed to “foreign”. These polymers provide a dynamic and cell-friendly interaction
environment which is a crucial factor for tissue repair and regeneration. Bone regeneration is a
highly intricate multistep process involving a plethora of biomolecules, signalling pathways, and stages in
cellular activity. Critically-sized bone defects do not regenerate without an implant due to the cessation of
the cellular stimulus associated with new bone formation. Therefore, natural polymers have been combined
with bioactive glasses (BGs) to provide a biocompatible delivery matrix and to stimulate bone formation
via the release of osteogenic ions from the BG particles. The addition of BG particles in natural
polymers has been shown not only to result in an osteogenic response at a cellular level but also result in
per se formation of hydroxyapatite (HA) on implant surfaces and regeneration of new bone in vivo. This
review discusses the recent trends over the last decade in this field, keeping a focus on the chemistry and
properties of CH and GE composites containing a bioactive glass additive.
Preparation of La2O3-modified BaSn Composite Nanorods and Photocatalytic
Properties toward Crystal Violet
Authors: Pei Lizhai , Feng Chenxu , Cong Qianmin , Tao Feihu , Zhou Jiong , Sun Zizhan
Published: May 2023

Background:

The separation efficiency of the electron and hole pairs of the BaSn composite
nanorods is limited due to a wide band gap energy restricting the photocatalytic treatment ability of the
composite nanorods. It is an efficient route to improve the photocatalytic properties of the semiconductor
photocatalysts by La2O3 modification.

Objective:

This study aims to synthesize La2O3-modified BaSn composite nanorods through a simple
method and research the photocatalytic performance of the La2O3-modified BaSn composite nanorods for
crystal violet degradation.

Methods:

La2O3 modified BaSn composite nanorods were synthesized by a facile method using lanthanum
acetate as the lanthanum raw material and evaluated by electron microscopy, solid diffuse reflectance
spectra, X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence and photocatalytic measurement for crystal violet
degradation under ultraviolet light irradiation.

Results:

BaSn composite nanorods consist of orthorhombic SnO2, monoclinic BaSn(OH)6, and monoclinic
Ba(OH)2. La2O3 suppresses the growth of the monoclinic BaSn(OH)6, and orthorhombic SnO2. The
La2O3-modified BaSn composite nanorods possess coarse surface covered with the La2O3 nanoscale particles
with an average size of about 50 nm. The absorption edge red-shifts to 373 nm and the band gap
energy reaches 3.32 eV of the La2O3 modified BaSn composite nanorods compared with the BaSn composite
nanorods. 20 mL 10 mg·L-1 crystal violet solution can be entirely removed by 20 mg composite
nanorods with 15wt.% La2O3 content under ultraviolet light irradiated for 120 min. The reaction rate constant
is 2.4 times higher than that of the non-modified composite nanorods. Hydroxyl radicals and holes
are the reaction active substances for crystal violet degradation in the composite nanorod reaction system.

Conclusion:

La2O3 modification decreases the band gap energy, enhances the light absorption ability, and
suppresses the recombination of the electron and hole pairs of the composite nanorods.

Authors: Acim Subhan Abdullah
Published: May 2023

This research discusses the interpretation of the obligation to wear hijab for Muslim women according to various sources, such as hadith scholars and also verses of the quran. Moreover, it has received a series of inputs from literary sources in the form of books and also writings of Islamic committees, which we have reviewed to obtain answers to the research questions. The data were processed through data review system to verify, code, interpret and summarize the results to obtain accurate data and high validity. Based on the data, we can convey that the obligation to wear the hijab is legally obligatory following the hadith which states that women should wear their headscarves all over their bodies. In closing, women are required to cover their private parts, which means Muslim women must wear clothes that cover their bodies from heads to toes except for their faces and palms; and if this is violated, they will receive sanction.

To justify the bank's interest (RIBA) although it is not a threat of unrest and exploitative, different. While Muhammad Syafi'i Antonio argued that bank interest as something unlawful because bank interest is a principal loan burden to be paid at maturity, even if the effort or project suffered losses. So the borrower feels burdened with the increase in interest of the bank.
