Up-to-Date Developments in Homology Modeling
Authors: Muhammed Muhammed Tilahun , Aki-Yalcin Esin
Published: December 2023

Homology modeling is used to predict protein 3D structure from its amino
acid sequence. It is the most accurate computational approach to estimate 3D
structures. It has straightforward steps that save time and labor. There are several
homology modeling tools under use. There is no sole tool that is superior in every
aspect. Hence, the user should select the most appropriate one carefully. It is also a
common practice to use two or more tools at a time and choose the best model among
the resulting models.
Homology modeling has various applications in the drug design and development
process. Such applications need high-quality 3D structures. It is widely used in
combination with other computational methods including molecular docking and
molecular dynamics simulation. Like the other computational methods, it has been
influenced by the involvement of artificial intelligence. In this regard, homology
modeling tools, like AlphaFold, have been introduced. This type of method is expected
to contribute to filling the gap between protein sequence release and 3D structure
determination.
This chapter sheds light on the history, relatively popular tools and steps of homology
modeling. A detailed explanation of MODELLER is also given as a case study
protocol. Furthermore, homology modeling’s application in drug discovery is explained
by exemplifying its role in the fight against the novel Coronavirus. Considering the
new advances in the area, better tools and thus high-quality models are expected.
These, in turn, pave the way for more applications of it.
Molecular Simulation in Drug Design: An Overview of Molecular Dynamics Methods
Authors: Prieto-Martínez Fernando D. , Galván-Ciprés Yelzyn , Colín-Lozano Blanca
Published: December 2023

Molecular interaction is the basis for protein and cellular function. Careful
inhibition or modulation of these is the main goal of therapeutic compounds. In the
pharmaceutical field, this process is referred to as pharmacodynamics. Over the years,
there have been several hypotheses attempting to describe this complex phenomenon.
From a purely biophysical point of view, molecular interactions may be attributed to
pairwise contributions such as charge angles, torsions, and overall energy. Thus, the
computation of binding affinity is possible, at least in principle. Over the last half of the
past century, molecular simulation was developed using a combination of physics,
mathematics, and thermodynamics. Currently, these methods are known as structure-based drug design (SBDD) and it has become a staple of computer-aided drug design
(CADD). In this chapter, we present an overview of the theory, current advances, and
limitations of molecular dynamics simulations. We put a special focus on their
application to virtual screening and drug development.
O cuidado parental em tempos de migração laboral Culturas e tecnologias de multiparentalidade na China rural do início do século XXI
Authors: Santos Gonçalo
Published: December 2023

What happens when young rural couples leave their villages to work in the city? Why do they choose to leave their children in the village under the care of grandparents? Is this a form of parental abandonment, or is it a collective strategy of multiple parenting constructed around the ideal of the patrilineal multigenerational joint family? Based on two decades of longitudinal fieldwork, between 1999 and 2018, in a rural community in Guangdong province, southern China, this article shows how the labor migration of young couples to the city was sustained by the resilience of traditional socio-technical systems of intergenerational sharing of parental duties. It was the reconfiguration of these systems of multiple parenting that helped young migrant couples to find ways of dealing with the double burden of work and family, benefiting from a stable network of familial support in a context of increasing mobility and widespread insecurity. Newly emerged formations of multiple parenting continue to place a large share of the burden of care work on women and continue to depend on a parental coalition between the senior generation and the middle generation of the patrilineal joint family, but the middle generation strengthened its economic power, leading to a weakening of the patriarchal authority of the senior generation. This decline of the power of the senior generation has been accompanied by a growing trend towards the outsourcing of grandparenting to professional care workers and educators under the influence of new visions of intensive parenting and education that are increasingly dominant in urban areas.

Authors: Turi Olivér
Published: December 2023

The medieval Minorite church of Nyírbátor  suffered serious damages and became abandoned at the end of the 17th century. In the 18th century, the baroque reconstruction of the church began, and later a second period of Baroque modifications took place. After this, the church remained untouched for a long time. Then, in the 20th century once again renovations were deemed necessary, because of its poor condition at the time. During the 19th and until the end of the 20th century, several restoration works and archaeological excavations took place, which focused on certain aspects of the church. In this article, I would like to present a summary of the notes concerning the construction history of the church and the results and methods of the photo scanner survey I carried out.
Comparative analysis of the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, glycated hemoglobin and indicators of lipid metabolism in women of Lviv and Kyiv regions
Authors: Moskva Kh.A. , Kikhtyak O.P.
Published: December 2023

Background. The prevalence of thyroid diseases, including endemic goiter and autoimmune disorders, has been consi­dered by scientists for more than a century as a cause for reducing the working capacity of the population and also affects the cognitive ability of future generations. Geographically, Lviv region is in an endemic iodine deficiency zone, while Kyiv region suffered negative radiation exposure as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Since both factors affect the state of the thyroid system, the study on the levels of thyroid hormones among women in the specified areas makes it possible to identify the risks of thyroid pathologies and to develop a strategy for their prevention. The purpose of the study: to find out and analyze the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), glycated hemoglobin and indicators of lipid metabolism in women of Lviv and Kyiv regions. Materials and methods. One hundred and fifty women were examined, their average age was 48 ± 7 years. The criterion for inclusion in the study were: absence of diabetes or treatment for thyroid pathologies, as well as other serious diseases. The survey was conducted once, in July-August 2022. The level of pituitary TSH, antibodies to thyroid peroxidase (TPO-Ab), glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein was evaluated. Results. In examined women of the Kyiv region, the average TSH was 2.21 ± 0.30 mIU/l, while in those from the Lviv region it was within 2.42 ± 0.17 mIU/l (p > 0.05). A significant difference was found between the average values of TPO-Ab, some women had high levels of antibodies without manifestations of hypothyroidism and clinical complaints. The average value of TPO-Ab in patients from the Kyiv region was 81.21 ± 19.41 IU/ml and in women from the Lviv region it was 38.41 ± 5.97 IU/ml (р < 0,05). When analyzing carbohydrate metabolism, no significant changes were found between the levels of glycated hemoglobin in the examined women of Kyiv and Lviv regions, 5.81 ± 0.09 % and 5.66 ± 0.04 %, respectively (р > 0.05). Some women showed a slight increase in glycated hemoglobin over 5.6 %, which did not reach the level of 6.5 %. This group of examinees were at risk of developing type 2 diabetes and is characterized by the term “prediabetes”. Regarding lipid metabolism, we found no significant changes in the level of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein. Conclusions. The conducted observation revealed differences in TSH, TPO-Ab indicators in healthy women living in Lviv and Kyiv regions. We can assume that the obtained results of Lviv region reflect the problems of the endemic zone of the Western regions of Ukraine. In turn, significantly higher levels of TPO-Ab among residents of Kyiv region are most likely a consequence of the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which can still affect the health of the population of this region.

This research shows that activities in new media actually involve individual activities in everyday life. The popularity of coffee shop culture cannot become an urban culture without the role of new media. The presence of new media allows individuals or influencers to share photos and videos while in coffee shops. A coffee shop is also a good, aesthetic, contemporary object for all the services, food and drinks provided to consumers. This condition is what coffee shop consumers take advantage of to share their activities through new media. The aim of this research is to find out if activities in coffee shops are widely seen in new media by fellow users, friends and family, so that they attract a lot of interest from urban communities. This research uses qualitative methods and data collection techniques through in-depth interviews and field observations (coffee shops). The result of this research is that in the end each individual tries to produce interesting video and photo content in order to get comments, likes/dislikes in new media. Based on the results and discussion The presence of new media makes it possible for each user to be able to interact flexibly and produce content according to their abilities and wishes.

Authors: Ali Chaidir
Published: December 2023

The Development Planning Conference is a means for government at all levels to gather development aspirations in all areas of community life. However, unfortunately, so far Musrenbang activities at all levels still face low participation from women's groups, in fact their participation tends to be considered only symbolic. As a consequence, many planned programs are gender biased, where discussions are dominated by infrastructure and economic development plans. Based on this, the author is interested in comparing the level of women's participation in the Village Development Planning Conference (Musrenbangdes) in Gampong Beurawe and Gampong Jawa which have quite different levels of development to see the level of women's participation in Musrenbangdes in the two gampongs. Apart from that, we will see what factors influence high or low participation in the two gampongs. This research uses a comparative analysis method with a qualitative approach and data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews and documentation obtained from the two variables studied. The results of this research show that the level of women's participation in Gampong Beurawe is better than the level of women's participation in Gampong Jawa in the Musrenbangdes in both gampongs. The factors that influence high and low levels of participation are educational, cultural and political factors.
THE INTERSECTION OF ISLAM AND POLITICS IN INDONESIA'S LOCAL AUTONOMY ERA
Authors: Mukrimin Mukrimin
Published: December 2023

The article examines the impact of local governance on Islam and politics in Indonesia, examining how decentralization of power has allowed local politicians to collaborate with Islamic organizations and parties to affect local policy. Local officials have been accused of Islamization, which entails promoting Islamic ideals and practices through governmental policy. The article examines the issue of mixing religion and politics, stressing that some Indonesians feel Islam should be crucial in the country's political landscape. In contrast, others believe religion and politics should be kept separate. After reviewing the many perspectives on Islam and politics in Indonesia, the article finishes by underlining the need for a more harmonious interaction between these two sectors. It emphasizes the existence of inter-religious conflicts in Indonesia, some of which have been fuelled by politicians' exploitation of sectarianism to further their interests. As a result, the paper suggests that politicians and policymakers adopt a more inclusive approach that respects religious diversity and encourages communication among different religious groups. This essay proposes that education and the media can promote inter-religious harmony and tolerance, resulting in a more peaceful and prosperous society.

This study investigates governance dynamics in family firms, examining the relationship between governance mechanisms, family dynamics, and sustained performance. Combining qualitative interviews and a survey of 242 family firms, we tested hypotheses involving effective governance mechanisms, well-managed family dynamics, adoption of best practices, and successful challenge navigation. Findings supported these hypotheses. Family firms with effective governance showed better-sustained performance. Managed family dynamics correlated with improved governance outcomes. Adoption of best practices aligned with enhanced financial performance, reduced agency conflicts, and improved access to resources. Successful challenge navigation was associated with greater long-term sustainability and success. The results provide actionable insights for family firms, highlighting the importance of governance strategies. Future research could explore specific governance mechanisms’ impacts and the role of family culture. This study contributes to understanding governance dynamics’ influence on family firm performance, offering guidance for effective governance in family-owned businesses. Beyond practical insights, this study holds theoretical implications, advancing our comprehension of the intricate interplay between governance, family dynamics, and performance in family firms (Camisón-Zornoza et al., 2020; Gómez-Mejia et al., 2011).

In this work, we present and analyze a fishery model with a price variation. We take into account the evolution in time of the fish biomass and the harvesting effort, while the price of fish is dependent on supply and demand. Assuming that the price variation occurs at a fast time scale. We assume that the stock and the effort evolution follow a slow time scale. Considering the different time scales, the model is reduced to a 2D model. We analyze the obtained model, and depending on the value of a parameter, there are two main cases that can arise: a fish exclusion case and a sustainable fishery. To avoid Fish Extinction we introduce a control parameter and we study the impact of the number of sites on the catch that allow the undesirable case to be avoided.

In this paper, we are interested in modifying inconsistent pairwise comparison matrix which is a critical step in the AHP methodology, where decision makers have to improve the consistency by revising the process. To this end, we propose an improved genetic algorithm (GA) to allow decision makers to find an appropriate matrix and adjust the consistency of their judgment without loss of original comparison matrix. Numerical results with different dimensions of matrices taken randomly show the effectiveness of these strategy to improve and identify the consistency of pairwise matrix which mean that GAs are a very good tool to generate the consistent pairwise comparison matrices with different number of criteria.

The boundary layer flow and heat transfer of hybrid carbon nanotubes over a moving surface with magneto-hydrodynamic effect are studied numerically in this paper. Single-wall (SWCNT) and multi-wall (MWCNT) carbon nanotubes are combined with water as the base fluid to form hybrid carbon nanotubes. The governing partial differential equations were transformed into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using the similarity transformation, which were then numerically solved in the Matlab software using bvp4c. The influence of the nanoparticle volume fraction, magnetic parameter and velocity ratio parameter, on velocity and temperature profiles, local skin friction and local Nusselt number are discussed and presented in graphical forms. The results show that dual solutions appear when the free stream and plate move in the opposite direction, and the rate of heat transfer for hybrid carbon nanotubes is higher than viscous fluid and carbon nanotubes.

The study focuses on the generation of multiple numerical solutions and stability analysis for the case of an unsteady copper-alumina/water hybrid nanofluid subjected to a shrinking sheet. Heat generation as the potential contributing factor in the heat transfer progress is considered as well as the suction effect. The governing model (partial differential equations) is developed based on the boundary layer assumptions, which then are transformed into a set of ordinary (similarity) differential equations. The bvp4c solver is used to search all possible solutions and conduct the stability analysis for the generating solutions. Suction induces the movement of heated fluid particles towards the wall, resulting in increased velocity and heat transfer and a decrease in temperature. The first solution is proved to be the stable real solution as compared to the other solution.

Researchers have become attracted with ternary hybrid nanoparticles because of its effectiveness in enhancing heat transfer and have gone on to further analyze the working fluid. This study is focusing on magneto-ternary nanofluid flow in a porous medium over a moving plate with Joule heating. The combination of TiO2, SiO2, and Al2O3 with water, H2O, as the based fluid is used for the analysis. Using similarity transformation, the complexity of partial differential equations (PDEs) is reduced into ordinary differential equation (ODE) systems, which are then numerically solved in MATLAB using the bvp4c function for various values of the governing parameters. The impacts of different dimensionless physical parameters on velocity, temperature as well as skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are reported in the form of graphs. Two solutions are achieved when the plate and free-stream are moving along mutually opposite directions. Further, local Nusselt number increases with permeability parameter and suction parameter. Also, increments in permeability parameter and the suction parameter lead to the delay in the boundary layer separation. Furthermore, by combining TiO2 with a volume percentage of SiO2-Al2O3/H2O, the heat transfer is enhanced. With an increase in nanoparticle volume fraction, the similarity solutions to exist decrease.

Terveyden lukutaito käsittää yksilön kyvyt hankkia, ymmärtää, arvioida ja soveltaa terveyteen liittyvää tietoa päätöksenteossaan. Matala terveyden lukutaito on yhteydessä heikompaan terveyteen ja korkeampaan sairastavuuteen. Väestön ikääntyessä tarvitaan lisää tietoa muistisairauksiin ja terveyden lukutaitoon liittyvistä tuen tarpeista sekä ammattilaisten osaamisvaatimuksista. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tuottaa tietoa, jonka avulla sosiaali- ja terveysalan ammattilaiset voivat tukea muistisairausriskissä olevia, muistisairaita ja heidän läheisiään sekä huomioida paremmin heidän terveyden lukutaitoonsa liittyviä tarpeitaan. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin yhdessä fokusryhmähaastattelussa ja neljässä asiantuntijahaastattelussa. Aineisto analysoitiin aineistolähtöisellä sisällönanalyysillä. Tulokset osoittivat terveyden lukutaidon olevan tärkeä voimavara, joka edistää muistisairaiden, muistisairausriskissä olevien sekä heidän läheistensä toimijuutta terveydenhuollossa. Tukeakseen muistisairausriskissä olevia, muistisairaita sekä heidän läheisiään ammattilaisten tulee hallita riittävä muistisairauksiin liittyvä osaaminen ja ymmärrys sekä hyvät viestintä- ja vuorovaikutustaidot. Ammattilaisten tulisi myös varmistaa, että potilas- ja asiakaslähtöisyys toteutuu ja että muistisairaat ja heidän läheisensä saavat tarvitsemansa tuen, riippumatta heidän taustoistaan, terveyden lukutaidostaan tai kognitiivisista kyvyistään.
Health literacy and memory disorders: Perspectives on the need for support and competency requirements
Health literacy encompasses an individual’s abilities to access, understand, appraise, and apply health-related information in their decision-making. Low health literacy is associated with poorer health outcomes and higher morbidity. As the population ages, there is a need for more information on dementia and the support needs related to health literacy, as well as the competence requirements for professionals. The aim of this study was to generate knowledge to support individuals at risk of dementia, individuals with dementia, and their caregivers, and to better address their health literacy needs by social and healthcare professionals. The data were collected through one focus group interview and four expert interviews and analyzed using an inductive content analysis. The results indicated that health literacy is an important resource that enhances the agency of individuals with dementia, those at risk of dementia, and their caregivers in healthcare settings. To support them, professionals need sufficient expertise and understanding of dementia, as well as good communication and interaction skills. Professionals should also ensure patient-centeredness and the availability of necessary support for individuals with dementia and their caregivers, regardless of their backgrounds, health literacy, or cognitive abilities.
