Published: December 2023

For the first time, the complex study of influence of gold, titan dioxide and magnetite nanoparticles on the catalytic properties, thermo-inactivation and aggregation of oligomeric enzyme was performed on the example of aspartate aminotransferase. It has been established that coating of nanoparticles with dextran sulphate contributed to the increase of thermostability of mAspAT, which was observed at 60 0C and higher. The antiaggregation strength of nanoparticles can be ranged as follows: TiO2 NP > Au NPs > Fe3O4 NPs. The aim of the research - comparative study of the kinetic of thermal inactivation of mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (mAspAT) in the presence of native and dextran sulfate-modified TiO2 and Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NP). Both, native and dextran sulphate-modified NPs showed the strongest thermal protection at 60 0С and above. The thermal inactivation rate constant (kin) of mAspAT was significantly decreased in the presence of NP-TiO2. Modification of NP surface with dextran sulphate enhanced that effect. Magnetite NP had revealed lower thermal protecting properties. Structural stability of mAspAT in the presence of NPs was characterized by the following thermodynamic parameters: Еаin (inactivation energy), ∆H (enthalpy), and ∆S (entropy) and ∆G (Gibbs free energy). In conclusion, interaction between mAspAT and NPs leads to increase of conformational rigidity of the enzyme and depends mainly on the nature of NP. Stability of gold colloid nanoparticles (Au NPs) is dependent on many factors like buffer concentration and pH values of medium, as well the recombinant AspAT can protect gold colloid nanoparticles from aggregation caused by influence of acidity of buffer or medium

Biomimetic Dentistry: Less Drilling More Healing
Authors: Albeshti Rawan M.
Published: December 2023

Biomimetic dentistry is an alternative approaching dentistry for dental caries management. It takes the potential advantageous features of maintaining, mimicking and replacing of natural dental tissues (enamel & dentin) in the mouth without using toxic restorative materials. Ultraconservative treatment is recommended for treating cavitated dentin lesions. Thus, Atraumatic Restorative Treatment is the most commonly used technique these days by dental clinicians worldwide. It is intended to both prevent dental caries and also to stop its further progression in the long-term. This short over view will attempt to provide a better understanding of biomimetic dentistry in terms of preventive/conservative approach for carious lesion removal and also to give a clinical perspective for Libyan dental clinicians.

Humoral cancer detection
Authors:   , Bach Sander
Published: December 2023

Cancer has a major impact on health and is a leading cause of death in developed countries. While advancements in diagnostics and treatment have improved the overall prognosis, for many types of cancer this is not the case. One major reason is the inability to timely detect the tumor or to accurately trace tumor activity. Many cancers are diagnosed at an advanced stage, when curation is not feasible anymore. Reliable and more sensitive means for early cancer detection, would ultimately improve mortality rates. Furthermore, current diagnostic modalities that monitor tumor activity before, during or after anti-cancer therapies lack sensitivity. The use of liquid biopsies, which can detect tumor-specific molecules in bodily fluids, provides a non-invasive approach for real-time cancer diagnostics. These tests offer both quantitative and qualitative data about tumor activity, making them a promising tool for monitoring cancer. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is the most studied substrate and these blood-based liquid biopsies are currently being implemented in clinical care. A still relatively unexplored medium for obtaining liquid biopsies is urine, which has many potential advantages compared to blood sampling. This thesis explores the potential of ctDNA in blood and urine to detect colorectal cancer (CRC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Part 1 of this thesis evaluates blood ctDNA for the purpose of cancer detection but also other clinical modalities such as prognosticating and monitoring of therapy response. Part 2 explores the pre-analytical variables that are required for a sensitive detection of ctDNA in urine. Finally in part 3, evidence is shown that detection of cancer DNA in urine is feasible in cancers of different subtypes.
Formalizing Fundamental Algebraic Number Theory
Authors:   , Baanen Anne
Published: December 2023

The research described in my thesis involves the extension and maintenance of the library of formal mathematics Mathlib for the interactive theorem prover Lean. The process of mechanization that results in formal mathematics rests on a detailed, uniform and unambiguous translation of mathematical knowledge. Thus, it requires suitable design choices, which needs a thorough understanding of the functionality provided by Lean.

After giving a general overview of Lean and Mathlib, the thesis extensively covers a specific mechanism of Lean: the instance parameter. This makes possible the design pattern of typeclasses. Related mechanisms for organizing mathematical structures can be found in many other interactive theorem provers. Based on characteristic practical examples, I describe a variety of design choices that help in applying this functionality. Based on this research, changes and additions were made to Mathlib, also on fundamental levels. Many of the design choices are also applied in the subsequent chapters.

After this follows a part of the thesis with the emphasis on formal mathematics, beginning with an overview of the mathematics that is covered. As part of a dynamically changing group of contributors, I worked on formalizing subjects that lie at the basis of algebraic number theory, and these formalizations have since been added to Mathlib. An important theme of this chapter is that it becomes possible to treat different occurences of the same situation in an equal manner, if the right formulation is chosen.

Next, we apply the previous work to the solution of concrete problems, namely the formal computation of class numbers and a formal description of all integer solutions to certain Diophantine equations. This required us to face the challenge of writing down definitions that are useful both in the case of high abstraction, and when very specific objects are involved. Computing the desired properties for now remains a matter of manually applying calculation steps, although computer algebra systems can supply the outcome (without a formal proof) within mere moments.

Finally, I describe proof tactics I developed, that make it possible to automatically prove certain classes of equalities in the study of rings. By applying these, many manual and tedious calculation steps can be left to the computer.

The outcome of this research was not merely to extend the list of theorems available in Mathlib, but to enrich the possibilities of effectively formalizing mathematics.
Detection And Characterisation Of Chemical Induced Mitochondrial Perturbations utilising
human in vitro models
Authors:   , Carta Giada
Published: December 2023

The increasing utilization of novel chemical substances and the repurposing of existing ones across diverse industries, including agriculture, cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals, underscores the imperative to assess potential environmental and human risks. Within these concerns, mitochondrial toxicity emerges as a notable challenge, often unintentionally resulting from drug interactions and leading to adverse health consequences. Mounting evidence indicates that mitochondrial dysfunction assumes a central role in various pathologies, such as metabolic disorders, accelerated aging, neurodegenerative diseases, and xenobiotic-induced organ toxicity. Notably, only in the past two decades has the concept of mitochondrial dysfunction as a direct toxic effect of drug exposure gained substantial consideration.
Understanding mitochondrial dysfunction is pivotal for ensuring the safety of drugs and chemicals, unraveling disease mechanisms, and conducting risk assessments concerning different compounds and environmental factors. Our research focuses on elucidating cellular damage induced by chemicals in in vitro models, with a specific emphasis on mitochondria as a crucial target. This characterization is achieved through the utilization of mitochondrial-specific assays and transcriptomics, employing different models with distinct metabolic profiles that may exhibit varying susceptibilities to mitochondrial toxicity. This initiative highlights the importance of using appropriate cellular models, understanding cellular responses, and refining experimental parameters to achieve a deeper understanding of compound effects. Ultimately, these endeavors contribute to the development of more effective methods for toxicity assessment and the prompt identification of issues related to mitochondrial function.

Published: December 2023

The 19th century in the history of the Ottoman Empire and Azerbaijan was marked by a number of political events that led to a change in the direction of the socio-cultural development of the Turkic societies in both countries. The reforms of the first half of the 19th century in the field of education and culture with their development of new socio-political programs, the emergence of new socio-cultural phenomena, new genres of literature, ideological and political trends gave rise to a new social stratum - the intelligentsia. This stratum, as the main bearer of the advanced ideas of the time, will play a significant role in the enlightenment of their own peoples. And the interaction between representatives of both intellectual circles will contribute to the spread of new knowledge and ideas throughout the region. The present article deals with the interrelations between the Azerbaijani and Ottoman intelligentsia in the 19th century. The interpretation and analysis of historical context via structural-diachronic methods help us better understand the nature of these relations and the effect they had on the events of the early 20th century.

La natación es un deporte individual con una alta carga de entrenamiento a lolargo de las etapas de desarrollo. Las dificultades para compaginarlo con una segundaactividad durante el transcurso de la carrera deportiva de élite son grandes.El objetivo principal de este trabajo fue analizar el proceso de la retirada deportivaen la natación. Se analizaron 262 unidades de contenido de las entrevistas semiestructuradasrealizadas a 5 nadadores ex olímpicos siguiendo el guion de Martínez,Jiménez, Moreno y Lorenzo (2013). Los nadadores que dieron prioridad al deportefrente a una segunda actividad (trayectoria convergente) tuvieron mayores dificultadesen el proceso de adaptación en la transición de la retirada que aquellos quepriorizaron por igual ambas facetas (trayectoria paralela). La mayor dificultadexpresada por todos ellos viene en el plano emocional. Las dificultades para conciliarsu vida deportiva con su formación académica van en aumento al ir superandoetapas académicas. En relación con los facilitadores, los nadadores mencionan suentorno familiar como un apoyo incondicional. En cuanto a las barreras para desarrollarsu carrera dual los nadadores expresaron las resistencias dentro del entornofederativo. Resulta fundamental el mantener el vínculo con una segunda actividadque implique una vocación con el fin de poder preparar al deportista para su segundacarrera.

Authors: Díez Rico Carlota , Gambau i Pinasa Vicente
Published: December 2023

El término educador físico se ha empleado desde hace más de un siglo. Lasprimeras referencias encontradas para este estudio datan de finales del siglo XIX.Esta nomenclatura de profesión se ha asociado a la Educación Física en su sentidomás amplio, no solamente a la realizada en enseñanza en edades escolares. Uno delos impulsores de la Educación Física en España, D. Marcelo Sanz, ya empleabael término para describir la profesión y las necesidades formativas de ésta. Se hanencontrado referencias que asocian profesor de Educación Física y educador físicocon un uso indistinto. El educador físico, o profesor de Educación Física, desempeñabasu labor, además de en enseñanza, en preparación física y dirección deportiva.Actualmente existe una necesidad de denominación de la profesión del tituladouniversitario en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte para su ordenación.La propuesta de la organización colegial, todavía pendiente de su aprobación poruna mayoría cualificada, es “educador físico deportivo”, muy similar a las referenciashistóricas que abarcan todos los ámbitos de desempeño de los titulados. Unaperspectiva histórica sobre el uso del término educador físico podría ser valiosapara conocer su conceptualización real y si se adapta a las necesidades futuras.

Opium is an alkaloid derivative of Papaver somniferum commonly known as poppy. The other derivatives of this plant are Heroin, Morphine, Codine and Papaverum, ganja. Derivatives like Morphine have long been used as medicine.  Ages of male addicts are from 20 years onwards. Addiction cause varies. It is seen among youngsters mostly. Opium is sold as per tola, roughly equivalent to 10 grams. This paper attempts to explore the reasons responsible for drug addiction. The reasons are examined in relation to eight hypothetical factors, such as peer group, enjoyment, frustration/tension, sufficient leisure, and excess pocket money, imitation of family elders, easy availability and curiosity. Moreover, the remedial measures undertaken by the Drug De-addiction centres and their benefits among the addicts are also analyzed.
