Published: December 2024

Tami Weir is one of the weirs that has a vital role in human life. Sandtraps have an essential role in the operation of Tami bending. The objective of the evaluation and strategy for holding the Tami Weir sandtrap for irrigation water needs is to know the capacity of the Tami Weir sandtrap, the operation of the Tami Weir sandtrap, and the performance of the Tami Weir sandtrap. The method and technique for collecting data in this research is that data analysis is carried out after all the data has been collected. The results are adjusted to the purpose of writing and presented as conclusions. The results of this research are the capacity of the sandtrap during the flushing period, namely that a sediment volume of 73,134 m3 was obtained with a flushing time of fourteen (14) days. During deposition in mud pockets, the water speed will increase, and the deposition process will begin to decrease; at that time, the sediment will enter the channel. To overcome this situation, the sandtrap must be drained. The performance of the sandtrap at Tami Dam has decreased, where there is much alluvial sediment. The performance of sandtrap at Tami Weir cannot operate correctly due to the large number of sediment deposits, which are as high as the drain gate's threshold, making hydraulic draining impossible

Targeting Androgen Receptor Variants in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC)
Authors:   Faculty of Medicine Kampala International University Uganda, Francis I. Omeye
Published: December 2024

Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) remains a lethal stage of prostate cancer, characterized by resistance to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and poor clinical prognosis. One of the key drivers in CRPC progression is the androgen receptor (AR), specifically the emergence of androgen receptor variants (AR-Vs) that sustain AR signaling even in the absence of androgens. AR-Vs, such as AR-V7, promote androgen-independent activation of oncogenic pathways, leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation and therapeutic resistance. Targeting AR-Vs offers a promising therapeutic strategy to manage CRPC effectively. This review explores the molecular mechanisms underpinning AR-V expression, examines the roles of major AR variants in CRPC progression, and evaluates current and emerging therapies targeting AR-Vs. By summarizing recent advancements and the limitations of current approaches, we highlight potential future directions to improve therapeutic outcomes for CRPC patients.

Shihan
Authors: Aveiga Parra Juan Carlos
Published: December 2024

En el arte marcial japonés, el título de maestro o sensei representaba el nivel jerárquico marcial más alto, que comprometía a la persona a tener un discípulo o alumno que se formaba a imagen y semejanza de su maestro, creando sin duda una dependencia ligada a los valores morales del maestro; un buen maestro formaba un buen alumno pero un mal maestro formaba un mal alumno.Es así que se puede apreciar en las películas marciales antiguas ese equilibrio entre el bien y el mal, donde había la disputa entre maestros de traje blanco que daban una buena enseñanza, y maestros de traje negro que enseñaban a matar y a castigar a cualquiera. Esto lo volvimos a ver en el cine moderno en películas como Karate Kid, donde el Sr. Miyagui trataba de enseñar el arte a Daniel San. Al final siempre ganaban los buenos.Esta figura ha cambiado en las artes marciales occidentales, ese patrón jerárquico tradicional ha sido desvalorizado por diversos motivos, que van desde la misma cultura hasta personas que se hacen llamar así, sin tener los méritos respectivos.Pero existen términos que no se han popularizado aún, y que mantienen esa dignidad.Uno de estos términos es el Shihan que se forman del prefijo Shi. (.) que significa profesor o experto, y el sufijo Han . (.) que significa ejemplo o modelo.Llega a ser tan representativo un shihan que aún después de que ya no está con nosotros,seguimos escuchando sus consejos y recordando sus enseñanzas, en el cine hasta aparecen en diversas formas que van desde sueños hasta figuras densas que se muestran flotando en el aire.Lo escuchas recomendarte qué es mejor, y qué es peor; en el ámbito quirúrgico, dónde se debe usar tijera y dónde el bisturí; a quién debes poner malla y a quién no; lo escuchas dando hipótesis de patogenias de patologías que solo a alguien que le ha pasado mucho, se le podrían ocurrir.De él sigues aprendiendo, porque de repente aparece alguien y te dice una vez vi al maestro hacer esto, y realiza una maniobra nueva, útil, que te ayuda a operar, es como si estuviera presente.Le sigues copiando comportamientos cuando exiges de tus afines el máximo respeto por la especialidad y de los demás el cumplimiento estricto de tus mismosprincipios en el área de trabajo y fuera de ella.Y cada vez y cuando conoces y reconoces más discípulos que durante su vida de maestro fue sembrando y cosechando, y donde dejó ese sentimiento común de agradecimiento eterno, por todo lo que te pudo dar en vida.El Shihan emprendió su viaje, nos ha dejado un vacío terrenal tremendo, pero perdurán sus enseñanzas, perdurará su ejemplo y perdurará su alma.Dedicado al Shihan Ignacio Hanna Musse

Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Approach Based on Correlation Coefficient for Multi-Polar Interval-Valued Neutrosophic Soft Set
Authors: Naveed Hamza , Ali Saalam
Published: December 2024

The correlation coefficient between two factors is crucial in statistical computation, indicating the extent and evolution of the appropriate link. The precision of applicability evaluations frequently relies on the thoroughness and caliber of data obtained from a certain dataset. Statistical research sometimes entails data marked by intrinsic trade-offs and uncertainty. This study seeks to present m-polar interval-valued neutrosophic soft sets (mPIVNSSs) through the integration of m-polar fuzzy sets with interval-valued neutrosophic soft sets. The suggested mPIVNSS structure is a significantly generalized version of m-polar neutrosophic soft sets and serves as a substantial extension of interval-valued neutrosophic soft sets. In this scenario, we delineate the correlation coefficient (CC) and the weighted correlation coefficient (WCC), together with their pertinent features, specifically designed for mPIVNSSs. A multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) technique has been established based on the proposed correlation measures. To demonstrate the efficacy and relevance of the MCDM method, we present a detailed mathematical illustration. The study emphasizes the utility, impact, and flexibility of the created method through comparison analysis with traditional methodologies, illustrating its efficacy in resolving complicated decision-making situations.

Published: December 2024

In this article, we design an informative and reliable technique of bipolar complex intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets with numerous operational laws by merging the model of soft sets, complex fuzzy sets, and bipolar intuitionistic fuzzy sets to handle imprecise data. In addition, an ideal in a BCK-algebra is derived based on bipolar complex intuitionistic fuzzy soft set theory are proposed which can capture the information of hesitancy, vagueness, and non-membership information within the circumstance of BCK-algebra. Moreover, we design union, intersection, AND, and OR based on bipolar complex intuitionistic fuzzy soft ideal and simplify it with the help of numerous illustrations to justify the effectiveness of the invented theory. In the end, we also evaluate numerous results for the above-invented techniques to enhance the worth of the proposed theory.
Comparative Analysis of Multi-Criteria Techniques in Neutrosophic Environment and their Applications to Economic Condition Assessment
Authors: Elsayed Asmaa , Mohamed Mai
Published: December 2024

In economic decision-making, the challenge of evaluating multiple, often conflicting criteria necessitates advanced Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) techniques. Traditional methods can struggle with the inherent uncertainty, ambiguity, and imprecision of real-world data. This paper addresses these challenges by investigating the effectiveness of various MCDM techniques within neutrosophic environments, with a particular focus on the Criteria-wise Alternatives Ranking and Correlation Analysis for Composite Scoring (CARCACS) method. Neutrosophic sets, which incorporate truth, falsity, and indeterminacy, provide a robust framework for addressing the vagueness and inconsistencies found in economic indicators such as GDP growth, employment levels, inflation rates, trade balances, investment activity, and government fiscal policy. This paper conducts a comparative analysis of several MCDM techniques, including N-PROMETHEE II, N-COPRAS, N-GRA, N-ARAS, N-WSM, N-MOORA, N-TOPSIS, and N-WASPAS, assessing their performance using Single-Valued Triangular Neutrosophic Numbers (SVTrNN) in the context of economic condition analysis. The study details the strengths and weaknesses of these methods in managing ambiguous and imprecise data and highlights the neutrosophic CARCACS method's effectiveness in capturing the intricate interactions between criteria and offering a comprehensive evaluation of alternatives. The results reveal the comparative advantages of different MCDM techniques and provide insights into their application in decision-making (DM) under uncertainty. This study contributes to the existing literature by demonstrating how neutrosophic environments can enhance economic DM and by introducing a novel approach for handling economic conditions through the CARCACS method. It aims to assist policymakers and analysts in selecting the most suitable MCDM techniques for complex and uncertain scenarios, leading to more informed and effective decisions. In evaluating MCDM techniques within neutrosophic environments, several sensitivity and comparative challenges arise. The diversity in methods, such as N-PROMETHEE II, N-COPRAS, and N-TOPSIS, introduces variability in handling criteria weightings and alternatives, leading to different results under similar conditions. Sensitivity analysis of the N-CARCACS method also highlights its robustness challenges, particularly how fluctuations in input parameters and criteria weights affect decision outcomes.
Is depression a neuroendocrine disease?
Authors: Gold Philip W.
Published: December 2024

Depression, according to the World Health Organization, stands as one of the most impactful disabilities worldwide. Its toll reaches beyond mood and thought, extending into physical health risks like coronary artery disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and stroke, leading to a lifespan reduction of approximately 7 to 10 years in those affected. This paper explores the view of depression as a neuroendocrine disorder, especially focusing on the subtype of melancholic depression. Structural and functional disruptions in brain areas—such as the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus—reveal a misalignment in the stress response system that might drive depressive symptoms. Specifically, the roles of corticotropin-releasing hormone, norepinephrine hyperactivity, glucocorticoid levels, and inflammation-related mechanisms are investigated here. These insights point to promising new treatments targeting these neuroendocrine pathways that may enhance therapeutic responses.
Liver X and thyroid hormone receptors in neurodegeneration
Authors: Warner Margaret , Song Xiaoyu , Gustafsson Jan-Åke
Published: December 2024

The role of thyroid hormone (TH) in the development and function of the central nervous system (CNS) has been known for many years. However, the role of liver X receptors (LXRs) in TH function and protection against neuronal degeneration was not recognized until recently. The relationship between thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) and LXRs became apparent with the cloning of steroid hormone receptors, leading to the discovery of the nuclear receptor superfamily. This family includes not only receptors for classical steroid hormones but also many newly discovered ligand-activated nuclear receptors. LXRs and TRs regulate overlapping pathways in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, as well as in overall CNS development and function. These CNS pathways include neuronal migration during cortical and cerebellar layering, myelination, oligodendrocyte maturation, microglial activation, and astrocyte functions. Furthermore, LXRs likely have unique functions, as evidenced by the inability of TH to compensate for microglial activation, oligodendrocyte maturation, spinal motor neuron death, and degeneration of retinal and cochlear neurons in LXRβ knockout mice. The common and unique functions of these two receptors are the subject of this review. We analyzed some of the most relevant literature on the regulation and function of LXRs and TRs and investigated why both receptors are required in the human body. We conclude that LXRs and TRs do not represent parallel pathways but rather constitute a single pathway through which the TH endocrine system regulates cholesterol homeostasis. Subsequently, LXRs, activated by cholesterol metabolites, function as a paracrine/autocrine system that modulates the target cell response to TH.
La contingencia en el corazón de la necesidad: las ontologías de Hegel y Deleuze
Authors: Aristizábal Jara Germán Andrés , Bedoya Cortés Sergio
Published: December 2024

El presente texto busca, a contracorriente, una aproximación entre la filosofía de Hegel y Deleuze. El centro de esta conexión se puede encontrar en sus respectivas ontologías desplegadas en la Ciencia de la Lógica y Diferencia y repetición, respectivamente. Se busca una rearticulación de la relación entre contingencia y necesidad, especialmente en Hegel. Lo anterior debido a que las lecturas hegemónicas de este autor se centran excesivamente en la necesidad y ponen en segundo plano la contingencia. Una nueva lectura del carácter contingente de la necesidad en Hegel puede acercar a este autor al filósofo francés que tantas veces denostó del idealista alemán.

Paisaje Sonoro: Creatividad Interdisciplinaria y Tecnologías Aplicadas para el Registro del Canto de las Aves
Authors: Rubio Vargas Pablo , Sigal Sefchovich Jorge Rodrigo
Published: December 2024

El artículo introduce al paisaje sonoro como herramienta interdisciplinaria directamente vinculada al uso de distintas tecnologías las cuales permiten observar cómo el humano interactúa con el entorno acústico. Este trabajo aborda el uso de desarrollos tecnológicos contrastantes que expanden el estudio y el desarrollo del paisaje sonoro, además de presentar algunas consideraciones, como la locación seleccionada y la tecnología de grabación empleada, lo cual no sólo configura la composición acústica de los elementos que lo integran, sino también su potencial aplicación científica. Se tomó en cuenta el avance tecnológico que ha permitido obtener mejores estrategias de captura acústica, así como ejemplos contrastantes entre sí, que posibilitan ampliar nuestro estudio en la catalogación y análisis del canto de las aves. Se observaron diferentes problemas durante la realización del paisaje sonoro, como el ruido de fondo, ubicación de micrófonos, reconocimiento algorítmico, entre otros, las cuales dificultan el reconocimiento algorítmico del canto de las aves encontradas en los paisajes sonoros, resultando en obras artísticas interdisciplinarias que emplean tecnologías distintas y contrastantes que posibilitan creaciones tanto artísticas como científicas.
De pregones y afiladores: conexiones improbables entre la música de Enrique Iturriaga y la de José Ignacio López Ramírez Gastón
Authors: Cuentas Peralta Marco Sadiel
Published: December 2024

Este artículo examina las inesperadas conexiones entre composiciones de Enrique Iturriaga y José Ignacio López Ramírez Gastón, dos figuras importantes de la música contemporánea peruana que representan polos opuestos en el espectro de la composición musical en el Perú. A través de un análisis del discurso musical en Pregón y danza de Iturriaga y Filo errante 2.1 de López, se explora cómo ambos compositores, a pesar de sus trayectorias y métodos divergentes, encuentran un terreno común en su intento por capturar la esencia de una Lima en constante transformación. El estudio destaca cómo la innovación técnica y la riqueza temática de estas obras sirven como vehículos para expresar la nostalgia y la crítica a los cambios socioeconómicos y culturales de la capital peruana. A través de un análisis estructural y espectrográfico, se demuestra que, más allá de las diferencias estilísticas y generacionales, Iturriaga y López comparten un enfoque narrativo subyacente que refleja una preocupación común por la identidad cultural peruana. Este artículo no sólo arroja luz sobre la complejidad de la música académica contemporánea del Perú, sino que también invita a una reconsideración de las categorías estéticas tradicionales y las percepciones de la innovación en la composición musical.

HOW ARE HONG KONG SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS INSPIRED BY CHINESE ART AND CULTURE IN DESIGNING NEW FASHION?
Authors:   School of Fashion and Textiles, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hunghom, Hong Kong, Ling Phoebe
Published: December 2024

Chinese traditional culture has been widely used and provides a rich resource for modern fashion design. Through the “Stitchable Chinese Art” fashion design competition 2024, organized by the Arts Education Section of the Education Bureau and the School of Fashion and Textiles of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, secondary school students deeply explored the meanings embedded in traditional Chinese culture and create new fashion styles with distinct Chinese characteristics. This study aimed to motivate students’ appreciation of Chinese art and culture and investigate how Hong Kong secondary students were inspired when designing new fashionable clothing. Mixed research methods were adopted. The quantitative method was used to analyze all 844 submitted works to determine the most frequently used Chinese artistic and cultural themes. Qualitative methods, comprising an in-depth examination of the 30 shortlisted design works, were used to identify how inspiration was drawn from traditional Chinese cultural elements. The key findings suggest that their most favorable design elements are: the conventional dragon as the main design inspiration; cheongsam style as the core silhouette; red as the major color; embroidery patterns as the featured design detail and silk fabric as the foremost fabrication.

Authors:   Muş Alparslan University, Muş, Turkiye, Mutlu Avinç Güneş
Published: December 2024

Nature serves as a data source for many disciplines, offering strategies such as sensitivity, adaptability, robustness, high resilience, lightness, energy efficiency, self-healing and self-improvement. The characteristics within this data pool provide alternatives for solving similar problems in different disciplines. Terms such as biomimicry, bio-informed, bio-inspired, nature-inspired, used to denote the process of deriving solutions from natural strategies, involve learning and adapting from nature. It is recognized as a significant tool not only in fields such as engineering, materials and robotics but also in the advancement of architectural knowledge. In recent years, research has prominently focused on adaptive, adaptive and kinetic biomimetic facade designs for energy efficiency. Within the scope of this study, publications on adaptive, adaptive and kinetic biomimetic facades were systematically reviewed and the state of the literature and contributions to the field were highlighted using bibliometric methods. In this context, a search was conducted in the Scopus database using predefined keywords to access relevant studies, evaluating aspects such as publication years, types of publications, countries of publication, Scopus category of the article, journal names and frequently used keywords. Subsequently, a content analysis was conducted for the most cited studies. As a result, it was observed that biomimetic adaptive/sensitive/kinetic facade designs in architecture, particularly in the context of energy efficiency, contribute to innovative studies, addressing aspects such as thermoregulation, natural ventilation and the use of renewable materials.
