Published: February 2024

Introduction:

Angiogenesis, oxidative stress, and epigenetic alterations involved in prostate
cancer (PCa) are associated with different risk factors, such as a high-fat diet (HFD), overweight,
and obesity. Jaboticaba peel extract (PJE) has shown antiproliferative, antiangiogenic, and antioxidant
activities in the prostate of senile mice.

Method:

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of PJE on the dorsolateral prostate microenvironment
in male transgenic mice for the prostate adenocarcinoma model, considering different pathological
alterations, changed or unchanged by HFD, focusing on histopathology, and molecules related to
extracellular matrix (ECM), oxidative stress, angiogenesis, and Dact-1. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry
were performed on Dact-1-associated tumor suppressor genes in transgenic
mice. Mice were fed HFD and received patented jaboticaba peel extract (PJE) treatment. The plasma
levels of systemic oxidative stress were evaluated.

Results:

Our results showed that PJE protected the dorsolateral prostate against proliferation and
increased MMP9, TGFβ, and VEGF levels. PJE reduced oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation by
modulating catalase, SOD 2, and 4HNE. PJE exhibited an epigenetic action, evidenced by increased
Dact-1 gene expression in PCa.

Conclusion:

PJE could be a natural protector of PCa and prostate lesions associated with HFD intake.

Authors: Anbazhaghan N. , Neupane Gaurab , Lakshmanan T. , Jayaprabakar J. , Parthipan J.
Published: February 2024

Background & Aim:

Gasoline engines using alcohol fuels are being researched in the
present trend since they are seen to be viable as diesel engines. The effect of isopropyl acetate and
acetone additive blends on gasoline is explored in this study using a single-cylinder four-stroke
gasoline engine operating at a constant speed of 2500 rpm under all loading conditions.

Methods:

Two gasoline blends are prepared by adding 5 % and 10 % by volume of isopropyl acetate
and acetone separately. Properties are investigated and tested for its engine performance and
emission.

objective:

There are not much research about the effect of Isopropyl acetate as a fuel additive in gasoline engine. Hence the main objective lies on extract information on using this additive in SI engine

Results:

The trial results demonstrated that the A5 (5% Acetone + 95% Gasoline) brake thermal efficiency
improved when compared to pure gasoline. At maximum engine load, all additive blends
have lower brake specific fuel consumption than pure gasoline. However, under full load, the emissions
of various additive blends are lower than those of pure gasoline.

Conclusión:

Results revealed that IA5 (5 % Isopropyl acetate + 95 % Gasoline), IA10 (10 % Isopropyl
acetate + 90 % Gasoline), and A10 (10 % Acetone + 90 % Gasoline) are considered good for
decreasing HC, NOx, and CO emissions respectively. The findings of this study can be considered
as a patent to lay the information on these types of alcohols in gasoline engines.

LIQUIDITY-PROFITABILITY DYNAMICS: IS THE BANKING INDUSTRY RESILIENT IN TIMES OF CRISIS?
Authors: Stevcevska-Srbinoska Dusica , Gjelevska Verica
Published: February 2024

The banking industry contributes to the economic expansion since it is considered the keeper and supplier of liquid capital, essential for all commercial and industrial activity. The primary goal of commercial banks is to generate profits while serving clients and maintaining liquidity positions. Hence, this study aims to examine and evaluate the relationship between liquidity (measured through the Liquid assets and Liquid assets to short-term liabilities ratio) and profitability (measured through ROA and ROE) position of the commercial banking system in North Macedonia and Serbia in order to determine whether changes in liquidity levels influence profitability. Since the ten-year examination period (2012-2021) includes the emergence of the Coronavirus global health pandemic, additional tests were conducted to find out whether the sanitary crisis caused changes in the liquidity-profitability dynamics.By employing descriptive, correlation and regression analysis, and observing two sub-periods (2010-2019 vs 2020-2021), we infer changes in the liquidity-profitability positions in times of crisis in both countries. These findings reinvigorate the knowledge on liquidity and profitability performance in times of instability as this is a pioneer study in evaluating the pandemic impact on liquidity and performance using empirics in these two markets. Furthermore, by scrutinizing the interrelationship between liquidity and profitability, the findings reveal that associations are time-dependent, with policy implications for banks and financial industry regulators.
Censorship: A Reaction to Disinformation on the World Wide Web
Authors: Braga Alexandre Eustáquio Perpétuo , Pinto Adilson Luiz , Muriel-Torrado Enrique , Dutra Moisés Lima
Published: February 2024

The Internet and the popularization of smartphones in the 21st century have given instantaneity to information. By these same digital means –imbued with the power to influence politics, the market, culture, and health– disinformation blossoms. Censorship, understood as the suppression of content and/or suspension of users on social media, has been used as one way to combat disinformation on the Web. This drive to sanitize digital networks carries inherent risks. In the context of ‘Infodemics,’ investment in user’s media education should be encouraged. As methodology, the phenomenon of disinformation on the Web and the efforts to curb it were researched in both scientific literature and in Brazilian legislation. To combat disinformation, the users’ education (in a sense of enabling them to filter, understand, and interpret the information that they gather) should be the main goal, as entrusting this task to third parties could bring undesirable side effects. Meanwhile, platforms, traditional media, and governments pose as ‘Guardians of the Truth.’ The social impacts of disinformation and of the efforts to suppress false content on the Web are discoursed in this paper through usage of MapReduce Text Mining. The paper concludes that disinformation takes on many connotations –from humorous appeal to manipulation–. As long as the users’ informational competence has not been developed, both the platforms as well as governments must act to minimize the undesirable effects of this phenomenon.

Authors: Aldaiee Y. , Karkhin V. A. , Khomich P. N.
Published: February 2024

The paper presents the analytical solution of one-dimensional problem on hydrogen diffusion in butt heterogeneous welded joints. Such parameters as welded joint thickness, weld thickness, diffusion coefficients, solubilities and initial concentrations of hydrogen in the weld metal and base metal have been taken into account. The effects of microstructure on hydrogen kinetics in homogeneous and heterogeneous welded joints are considered. It is shown that hydrogen concentration in the heat affected zone (HAZ) to a great extent depends on the ratios of the initial concentrations, hydrogen diffusion coefficients and solubilities in the weld metal to those in the base metal. The concentration of hydrogen in the HAZ decreases by three orders of magnitude when welding martensitic steel with austenitic electrodes as compared to homogeneous joints.

The long history of ethnic and religious tolerance in Indonesia has always tended to tell a story about expressions of indifference, and even hidden persuasiveness, which scrutinizes the problems of large organizations such as religion and culture. By concentrating on two contiguous places of worship of two religious’ communities in Muntok City, West Bangka, this article strives to identification from a side that is rarely exposed. The observation, interviews, and the acquisition of literature data elucidate how the application of amalgamated components in the two places of worship is a product of tolerance practices negotiated in the past hence it is of utmost significance to refrain from disregarding this historical substance through the interpretation of anomalous forms or idealized occasionalism. Thus, through Rainer Forst's concept of "Toleration", this article attempts to provide research significance to comprehending the concept of tolerance by discussing the relationship between physical cultural relics and tolerance practices to gain the worldview of the cultural proprietors. In this discourse, the presence of a building that represents a form of tolerance in a region is not only seen from its physical appearance, but also by careful consideration of the intangible relationships that operate in the realm of history and societal change.
Chorography of Contemporary Migrations and Fractured Identities in Kamila Shamshie’s Novel Home Fire
Authors: Tiwari Dr Sandhya
Published: February 2024

In the realm of literature, representation extends beyond mere inclusion; it demands accurate and nuanced portrayals of diverse identities. Identity, a multifaceted construct encompassing dimensions such as race, gender, sexuality, and class, is a central theme explored by authors to unravel the intricacies of human experiences. This research article investigates the theme of contemporary migrations and fractured identities within the context of Kamila Shamsie’s novel Home Fire (2017). Employing the concept of chorography – a method that maps and represents spatial and cultural phenomena – the study delves into the intricate portrayal of identity in the novel. It scrutinizes how characters grapple with their cultural, religious, and personal identities amidst the backdrop of migration.
The article illuminates the challenges faced by migrants, particularly those from Muslim backgrounds, as they navigate cultural assimilation, religious identity, and the clash between tradition and modernity. Migration, as depicted in the novel, becomes a catalyst for the fragmentation of identities, unraveling struggles with belonging, cultural boundaries, and the profound impact of political and social factors. Additionally, the research explores the role of memory and history in shaping characters' identities and their experiences of migration.
This earnest exploration aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the intricate relationship between contemporary migrations and the fractured identity of the Muslim community on a global scale. By contributing to existing literature on migration studies and identity formations, the article sheds light on the profound impact of fractured identities on characters' sense of belonging and their interactions with others. Through a meticulous analysis of the text, the article reveals the intricate ways in which these fractured identities resonate within the narrative, adding depth to discussions on Pakistani English Literature, representation of identities, Muslim religion and individual identity, and the pervasive issue of Islamophobia.

Gesetzlicher Mindestlohn: Auswirkungen auf Frauen und Männer
Authors: Ohlert Clemens
Published: February 2024

Since its introduction, minimum wage has led to greater increases in average hourly wages and monthly earnings for women than for men. The effects of minimum wage on the hourly wages of women and men affected by the minimum wage have been similar on average. However, women are more frequently employed in the minimum wage sector than men and therefore benefit from it more often. Reductions in working hours due to the introduction of minimum wage were lower for women than for men in the short term. Minimum wage did not have a significant effect on employment for women or men and therefore contributes to reducing pay inequality by gender.

Euphemistic Means of the Erotic Narrative in the Cycle Dark Alleys by I. Bunin
Authors: Isachenko O. M. , Sin He
Published: February 2024

Purpose. The article analyses the features of the erotic narrative of I. A. Bunin in his cycle Dark Alleys, which became a phenomenon in Russian classical literature – a kind of artistic “encyclopedia of love”, written in defiance of ethical and ideological prohibitions.

Results. Erotica in this cycle is presented in descriptions of the physiology of sex and sexual communication. The research examines 209 contexts extracted from the cycle. They describe actions of a sexual nature, including violent or commercial ones, human physiology and anatomy (59 contexts), which determine human sexual behavior. The writer widely uses various methods of euphemization of erotic meanings: synonymous replacements, generalization techniques, allusion, ellipsis, silence. Quantitative data show that the main speech strategy in the Bunin cycle is silence, which is implemented in a whole series of stylistic tropes and figures. I. A. Bunin uses a diverse arsenal of units of the lexical, lexico-morphological and syntactic levels. Euphemisms appear in areas of maximum erotic tension. With their help, the author reduces the “emotionogenicity” of erotica in accordance with his own ideas about the boundaries of what is acceptable and permissible.

Conclusion. In the vertical context of Russian culture, I. Bunin’s erotic narrative, his restraint and precision in the choice of linguistic means, the deliberate exclusion of naturalism and reduced style serve to preserve harmony in the triad “LOVE – PASSION – SEX”. The Bunin language of Dark Alleys can be considered a classic standard of the sacrament of physical love, which the writers of the 20th century were guided by, accepting or rejecting it.
Reminiscence of A. S. Pushkin’s Tale about the Dead Princess in B. L. Pasternak’s Poem Hoarfrost
Authors: Aksionova A. A.
Published: February 2024

Purpose. The poem Hoarfrost among the other works of B. L. Pasternak shows a problem of borders in three different ways: as the inner world of the lyrical hero, as a correlation of a fairy-tale and casual aspects of life, and as a state of nature. It is no coincidence that Hoarfrost is included in the “boundary”, transitional to the late stage of Pasternak's work, the Peredelkino cycle.

Results. On the one hand, the theme of an end of a unique human life (in contrast to the endlessly reproduced cycle of death and rebirth of nature) is revealed in images of fear, deceptive order and mistrust. On the other hand, the creative gift of poetic (and childlike) vision brings semantics of consolation. The most surprising thing that happens to the lyrical hero is the discovery of correlations: all the solemn harmony of the environment turns out to be a living representation of the poetical harmony, such as Pushkin's quatrain in The Tale of the Dead Princess.

Conclusion. Thus, the everyday world is an extension of the ideal, sacred sense. This discovery requires the efforts of the hero, who moves from a sense of discord between a human and the world to a dialogue with nature and the hope of being heard.
Derivation of the non-stationary Schrödinger equation from the stationary one
Authors: Vinokurov N. A.
Published: February 2024

A derivation of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation from the time-independent one is considered. Instead of time, the coordinate of an additional degree of freedom, the clock, is introduced into the original time-independent Schrödinger equation. It is shown that the standard time-dependent Schrödinger equation can be obtained for the semiclassical clock only. For elucidation of the physical meaning of the equation obtained in this way, various types of clocks are discussed. In addition, the corresponding equation for the density matrix and formulas for the mean values of operators are derived.

The electrical parameters of the semiconductor-metal phase transition in vanadium dioxide nanostructures synthesized by chemical vapor deposition on a silicon substrate (100) and decorated with gold nanoparticles with a surface concentration from 3∙109 to 3∙1010 cm–2 are studied. X-ray phase analysis revealed that the synthesized nanostructures of vanadium dioxide contain a monoclinic M1 phase undergoing a phase transition at a temperature of about 68 °C. The morphology of the surface of vanadium dioxide nanostructures coated with gold nanoparticles was studied using a scanning electron microscope and an atomic force microscope. The characteristics of the temperature phase transition of the initial nanostructures and nanostructures decorated with gold nanoparticles are determined. The temperature dependence of the resistance near the phase transition point of the initial nanostructures showed that the resistance jump is about four orders of magnitude, which confirms their high quality. It is shown that an increase in the surface concentration of gold particles to a value of 3∙1010 cm–2 increases the conductivity of vanadium dioxide at room temperature by about two times, and shifts the phase transition temperature by 5 °C: from 68 °C to 63 °C. Optical switching in vanadium dioxide with an array of gold particles with a size of 9 nm is considered by numerical modeling methods. It is established that the response of the electromagnetic wave from the VO2 material during the phase transition is enhanced due to the excitation of localized plasmon resonance in gold nanoparticles and reaches a local maximum in the region of 600 nm. Additionally, this effect is enhanced at angles of incidence near the pseudo-Brewster angle for vanadium dioxide. The considered hybrid VO2–Au nanostructures are promising as basic nanoelements for next-generation computers, as well as for ultrafast and highly sensitive sensors.

At present, information technologies are an integral part of many spheres of life of a modern person, and the market for digital products is rapidly developing. An important segment of the digital market is gaming content. However, the sanctions policy against the Russian Federation, which intensified in the third decade of the 21st century, has imposed serious restrictions on the possibility of consuming foreign-made game content for domestic consumers. The purpose of the article is to identify changes in the demand for gaming content among Russian gamers in the face of increased sanctions pressure. The relevance, as well as the scientific novelty of the study, lies in the verification of trends in the consumption of gaming content by Russian consumers. This will allow using the information obtained in the development of new and transformation of old digital gaming products, the formation of product and marketing policies of the creators of gaming and entertainment content. In addition, the study of gamers as a social group in modern society is currently an important area of scientific research. The object of the study were young people aged 16 to 22 living in Irkutsk. The data obtained by the authors during the field study, as well as their comparison with the results other studies of a similar nature, made it possible to identify a number of changes in the consumption of gaming content among young people that occurred under the influence of sanctions. The authors come to the conclusion that the impact of sanctions, although it had an impact on Russian consumers of gaming content, nevertheless could not significantly change the popularity of this form of entertainment among young people.

Published: February 2024

The relevance of the study of trade in the regions of Siberia and the Republic of Kyrgyzstan is due to the high, but poorly realized potential of their cooperation in the space of Central Asia. As well as the reversal of Russia’s geopolitical interests to the east. The purpose of the study is to analyze the potential and prospects for trade interaction between the Siberian Federal District (SFD) and Kyrgyzstan. The work is based on a scientific analysis of published results on the economic, social and foreign trade development of the Siberian Federal District and Kyrgyzstan. The paper provides an empirical analysis of trade based on regional customs data with the use of statistical packages and database analysis tools. The analysis was made for the period from 2010 to 2021. The dynamics presents the regional aspect of trade with Kyrgyzstan, considers the distribution of trade flows by counterparty countries and regions of Siberia, the commodity specialization of exports and imports of regions in the market of Kyrgyzstan. The study showed that despite the modest place of Kyrgyzstan in the trade of the SFD, there are opportunities for the growth of mutual cooperation, especially in the field of tourism, industrial cooperation and trade based on small and medium-sized businesses. Most regions of Siberia have untapped opportunities, and for some regions there is a need to realize the need for interaction. Тoday integration with Kyrgyzstan is one of the conditions for economic development, and an important solution to the issues of its economic security. The paper provides directions for improving cooperation and increasing mutual trade between the regions of the Siberian Federal District and Kyrgyzstan, taking into account internal and external factors of influence.
The Characteristics of Long-term Care Reform in the Netherlands and Its Implications for Korea
Authors:   Korean Journal of Research in Gerontology, Kim Jong Sung
Published: February 2024

This study was designed to derive policy implications for Korea by identifying the status of the current Dutch long-term care system through analyzing the content and direction of the system reformed in both 2007 and 2015. The research method of this study was to analyze a number of research results, press reports, Internet data, and policy data released by the Dutch health authority. The current Dutch long-term care insurance system has been operated within the community-based integrated care system that was reformed twice. The key elements of this integration system are locality and comprehensive meaning. Locality is to strengthen the aging in place, to identify individual long-term care needs based on the living area to seek solutions based on regional characteristics, customs and values, and to emphasize the importance of community participation. Comprehensive meaning is to integrate various services, to diversify the service provider, and to include the service target. While the Korean government has recently began to present the project of establishing a community care system, it is stated that Dutch reform cases are seen as a model of long-term strategy for designing and adopting an effective health, care and welfare integration system.
The eXact integral simplified time-dependent density functional theory (XsTD-DFT)
Authors: de Wergifosse Marc , Grimme Stefan
Published: February 2024

In the framework of simplified quantum chemistry methods, we introduce the eXact integral simplified time-dependent density functional theory (XsTD-DFT). This method is based on the simplified time-dependent density functional theory (sTD-DFT) where all semi-empirical two-electron integrals are replaced by exact one- and two-center atomic orbital (AO) two-electron integrals while all other approximations from sTD-DFT are kept. The performance of this new parameter-free XsTD-DFT method was benchmarked to evaluate excited state and (non)linear response properties, including ultra-violet/visible absorption, first hyperpolarizability, and two-photon absorption. For a set of 77 molecules, results from the XsTDA approach (or XsTD-DFT considering the Tamm-Dancoff approximation) were compared to corresponding TDA data. XsTDA/B3LYP excitation energies only deviate absolutely by 0.14 eV in average from those obtained from standard TDA while drastically cutting computational costs by a factor of 20 or more depending on the single energy threshold chosen. The absolute deviations of excitation energies with respect to the full scheme are decreasing when the system size is increasing, showing the suitability of XsTDA/XsTD-DFT to treat large systems. Comparing XsTDA and its predecessor sTDA, the new scheme globally improves excitation energies and oscillator strengths. Particularly, the XsTDA scheme can faithfully reproduce TDA results for charge transfer states. Among the various results, TD-DFT first hyperpolarizability frequency dispersions for a set of push-pull $\pi$-conjugated molecules are faithfully reproduced by XsTD-DFT while the sTD-DFT method always provides red-shifted resonance energy positions. Excellent performance with respect to experiment is observed for the 2PA spectrum of the enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP). The generally excellent results with an accuracy similar to TD-DFT but at a fraction of its computational cost opens the way for a plethora of applications considering large systems as well as high throughput screening studies.
La utilidad de la historia. De Heródoto a la posmodernidad
Authors: García Higueras Gabriel
Published: February 2024

Desde los inicios de la historia como estudio sistemático del pasado humano, se ha planteado el problema acerca de su utilidad práctica. Las reflexiones sobre tal asunto han provenido, en lo fundamental, de historiadores de oficio y de filósofos en las distintas épocas de la historia universal. Desde una aproximación a la historia de la historiografía y a la filosofía de la historia, el presente artículo examina, junto con el concepto de historia, los planteamientos formulados acerca de la función social y la utilidad pragmática de su conocimiento. Una de las principales cualidades atribuidas a la historia en cuanto a su valor y utilidad, se refiere a las enseñanzas que el conocimiento del pasado puede proporcionar en el presente.
Cholesterol and COVID-19—therapeutic opportunities at the host/virus interface during cell entry
Authors: Grewal Thomas , Nguyen Mai Khanh Linh , Buechler Christa
Published: February 2024

The rapid development of vaccines to combat severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections has been critical to reduce the severity of COVID-19. However, the continuous emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 subtypes highlights the need to develop additional approaches that oppose viral infections. Targeting host factors that support virus entry, replication, and propagation provide opportunities to lower SARS-CoV-2 infection rates and improve COVID-19 outcome. This includes cellular cholesterol, which is critical for viral spike proteins to capture the host machinery for SARS-CoV-2 cell entry. Once endocytosed, exit of SARS-CoV-2 from the late endosomal/lysosomal compartment occurs in a cholesterol-sensitive manner. In addition, effective release of new viral particles also requires cholesterol. Hence, cholesterol-lowering statins, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 antibodies, and ezetimibe have revealed potential to protect against COVID-19. In addition, pharmacological inhibition of cholesterol exiting late endosomes/lysosomes identified drug candidates, including antifungals, to block SARS-CoV-2 infection. This review describes the multiple roles of cholesterol at the cell surface and endolysosomes for SARS-CoV-2 entry and the potential of drugs targeting cholesterol homeostasis to reduce SARS-CoV-2 infectivity and COVID-19 disease severity.
