NF-KB P65-subunit activity and T-helpers 1 / T-helpers 2 ratio in pregnant women with placental disorders and premature labor
Authors: Ventskivska I.B. , Kupchik V.I.
Published: June 2023

Objectives: to study the levels of the total, phosphorylated p65-subunit of the nuclear factor NF-kB, activity of p65 and the relation with the level and ratio of T-helpers type I and II in pregnant women with placental dysfunction and different clinical types of the course of preterm labor (with preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) and without it).Materials and methods. The case-control study included 60 pregnant women: 40 women with placental disorders and spontaneous premature labor in the period of 24–34 weeks (group I – 20 women with premature labor and timely discharge of amniotic fluid, group II – 20 women with pPROM) and 20 women of the control group (CG) with normal timely delivery in the head position of a fetus without complications.The value of the total NF-kB p65 subunit and its phosphorylated fraction was determined in all women using ELISA in placenta lysates. On this basis the p65 subunit activity was calculated; number of T-helper I (Th1) and T-helper II (Th2) was determined using flow cytometry in a whole blood sample, with afterward calculation of the Th1/Th2 ratio.Results. Elevated levels of total p65 and its phosphorylated fraction were found in women with placental dysfunction (p < 0.01 in groups I and II compared with CG), as well as the activity p65 (p < 0.01 in group I, p = 0.04 in group II compared with CG). The difference in the Th1 value and the Th1/Th2 ratio was significantly higher in both groups (p < 0.01 in group I, p = 0.03 in group II for Th1; p < 0.01 in both groups for Th1/Th2), the number of Th2 differed significantly only in group I (p < 0.01 compared with CG). A strong positive correlation between p65 activity and Th1/Th2 was also established (r = 0.8).Conclusions. Obtained data indicates the increased NF-kB p65-subunit activity in women with placental disorders and spontaneous premature labor without pPROM, which is impact on the increase of the Th1/Th2 ratio due to the Th1 increase. This mechanism might be considered to be the leading cause of the premature birth in this group of pregnant women. However, for women with the preterm labor activity with pPROM, the difference with GC has a lower level of significance, which may indicate the existence of another leading mechanism for the initiation of premature labor in this group.

Introduction:As an innovative procedure, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) 2.0, which is based on standard EMDR, draws attention with its promising results. The adaptation of EMDR 2.0 to groups will be a significant contribution to the psychology literature. Considering the effectiveness of EMDR 2.0 on individual applications, this is a preliminary study that aims to explore the role of EMDR 2.0 on groups by developing the EMDR 2.0 group protocol (EMDR 2.0 GP).

Methods:In this pilot study, EMDR 2.0 GP is applied to a group of seven participants who had been exposed to a traffic incident. The role of EMDR 2.0 GP (three sessions; 3.5 hours in total) on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, depression, anxiety, and stress was measured. The Impact of Event Scale—Revised and the Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) were used to assess these symptoms at pretreatment, one-week posttreatment, and one-month posttreatment.

Results:The participants (mean age = 47.14 ± 9.65) with a traffic accident experience (mean of the time elapsed = 88.57 ± 38.24 months) received EMDR 2.0 GP. Results showed that the EMDR 2.0 group had significantly lower depression (χ² [2,n= 7] = 9.364,p= .009, Kendall’sW= .668) and stress (χ² [2,n= 7] = 8.667,p= .013, Kendall’sW= .619) on the subscales of DASS-21 and lower intrusions (χ² [2,n= 7] = 6.333,p= .042, Kendall’sW= .452), avoidance (χ² [2,n= 7] = 7.280,p= .026, Kendall’sW= .520), and hyperarousal (χ² [2,n= 7]) = 10.800,p= .005, Kendall’sW= .771) at posttreatment.

Conclusion:The pilot study of EMDR 2.0 GP indicated that this newly developed protocol that was first applied to the group may be effective in reducing depression, stress, and PTSD symptoms among a nonclinical sample. This pilot study supports future randomized controlled EMDR GP applications.

Published: June 2023

Background:The need for early and effective medical rehabilitation of combatants is determined by a number of social, ethical and demographic factors.The ethical context of the rehabilitation of combatants is associated with the mental reflection of participants in local wars, considered on the model of the Afghan and Chechen wars. At the same time, the researchersnote that the phenomenon is most fully represented in American and European literature on the example of Vietnam War veterans, known in publications as "trauma and memory studies" and requires the development of similar research practices in domestic science. The purpose of the work is to show the possibilities of medical rehabilitation of NWO combatants using exoprostheses in the context of the ethics of care. Materials and methods: To demonstrate the medical and social prospects for the rehabilitation of pathology and injuries of the upper limbs, a review of domestic and foreign sources of open databases was carried out. The calculation of the needs for orthotics of the upper limbs was carried out on the model of Tatarstan and the Volgograd region. The research materials of the Federal Centerfor Support of the Development and Production of Exoprostheses of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education VolgGMU of the Ministry of Health of Russia were used in the work.Results:Specialists of the Center for Exoprosthetics of the Volg State Medical University developed a passive exoskeleton of the upper limb "EKZAR-34" for habilitation and rehabilitation of patients with symptoms of upper flaccid paresis. The advantages of the development are complemented by affordability, technical feasibility and wide application possibilities. Currently, on the basis of the Center for Exoprostheses of the VolgGMU, participants in combat operations and non-combatants of the Northern Military District are undergoing rehabilitation using the EXAR-34. The need for orthotics, calculated on the model of Tatarstan and the Volgograd region, demonstrates the continuity of rehabilitation of wartime and peacetime, as a general trend in personalized medicine aimed at the needs of a particular patient.Conclusion:Attention to the problem of rehabilitation should be permanent, reflecting the position of society towards vulnerable groups, based on the ethics of respect and care.
Existential therapy of the Sumerian-Akkadian civilization: what the ancestral experience teaches
Authors:   Volgograd State Medical University, Ivanov Konstantin V.
Published: June 2023

Therapy of existential distress of incurable patients is no less important task of palliative medicine than, in fact, relief ofphysical pain. At the same time, the unreliability of the means used in this field, noted by experts, forces us to pay attention to their al-ternative in the form of psychedelics-entheogens, whose therapeutic potential, judging by the content of world mythology, was well known to our distant ancestors. The research of this storehouse of information about the historical experience of mankind could explain a lot about the "historical amnesia" of society in relation to these substances, and perhaps change something in the current campaign for the benefit of the dying. Aim: to investigate the reason for the prohibition of the archaic practice of using entheogens and to find out the source of modern thanatophobia on the model of the first high civilization of Sumer and Akkad in human history.Methods: Analysis of literary sources, the historical method, a systematic approach.Results: The role of the use of entheogens in the therapy of thanatophobia is determined. The destructive influence on the produc-tion sphereof the archaic tradition of free access to these substances within the cult, which threatened the very existence of civilization, is proved.Conclusion: The proposed brief analysis of the well-known plot of Mesopotamian mythology "The Flight of Etana" allows us to see in it literary and artistic evidence of the effectiveness of the archaic tradition of using entheogens as a means of thanatophobia ther-apy. At the same time, the contradictory nature of the influence of this practice on the spiritual, psychological and socio-economic foundations of the Sumerian-Akkadian civilization is revealed, the reason for the objective-historical ban on the use of entheogens is explained, with an illustration of the existential consequences of this event for the population of the Mesopotamia.
Support for Emancipative Values in Russia during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Korsunova Violetta , Sokolov Boris
Published: June 2023

In this article we analyze nationwide and individual trends in emancipative values in Russia during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the correlation between values and various personal COVID-19 pandemic experiences. Using panel data from 3 waves of a survey titled “Values in Crisis” we were able to identify a minor increase in support for choice values and an equally minor decrease in support for equality values between June 2020 and December 2021. Negative personal economic experiences during the pandemic reduce support for equality values whereas future financial concerns are positively, albeit weakly, associated with equality values. Neither personally succumbing to COVID-19 nor health-related anxiety are linked to support for gender equality. Neither indicator of negative pandemic experience correlates with individual choice values. Overall, emancipative value alignments seem to be resistant to shortterm deterioration of living conditions in Russia, both at the societal and the individual level.
Household vs Institutional. Reflecting on the Book “Deprivation of Liberty in the Shadows of Institutions” by L. Series
Authors: Litvintsev Denis
Published: June 2023

This book by Lucy Series, largely based on the ideas of E. Goffmann’s total institutions and M. Foucault’s disciplinary mechanisms, is devoted to the problem of the elderly and people with disabilities in need of social care being deprived of freedom in the carceral and post-carceral era. However, unlike other reviewers, the author of this article sees a significant contribution of L. Series not so much to the development of the theory of social inclusion, based on historical and modern cases from the UK, but to the development of theoretical and methodological ideas about the home and the institutions that, unlike the home environment, form a space where freedom of choice is restricted. Essentially the book allows answering the question of what a house is as a socio-cultural unit and why it can be opposed to social institutions due to a rather rigid demarcation of their respective spaces.

Authors: Serrano Suárez Víctor
Published: June 2023

Introducción: Los hospitales privados, a pesar de su enorme peso dentro de la economía y de la sociedad, tradicionalmente han tenido poca presencia en la prensa. En el presente estudio, analizaremos el impacto que tuvo la creación del Xanit Hospital Internacional dentro del panorama de los hospitales privados malagueños en la prensa local. Objetivo: Analizar si un hecho tan relevante y significativo como la creación del mediático Xanit, les ha ayudado a lograr una mayor presencia mediática. Metodología: Analizaremos todas las noticias de los 6 principales hospitales privados de la provincia de Málaga en los 3 periódicos de mayor importancia de la provincia, durante un periodo de 5 años. Resultados: Los centros sanitarios privados han incrementado su presencia en las noticias de la prensa local, siendo además el Xanit Hospital Internacional el que ha aparecido un mayor número de veces en prensa, a pesar de no ser el hospital privado más importante de la provincia. Conclusiones: La repercusión de los hospitales en la prensa local es baja, y con noticias de bajo impacto. Sin embargo, la creación del Xanit ha provocado un ligero aumento en esta tendencia.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: Social media have become one of the leading health communication channels among the exponents of Health 2.0. Twitter has particularly noteworthy features for providing information quickly and easily. However, there is still controversy about the convenience of its use. Objectives: This paper aims to identify the main topics of health covered, the uses of Twitter in health communication and to characterize the valences (positive and negative) associated with each use. Methodology: To do that, we conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines. Two databases (Web of Science and Pubmed) were searched, and 610 articles were retrieved. After removing duplicates, screening the titles and abstracts and assessing the full texts, 83 papers met the inclusion criteria. Results: The review identified five uses of Twitter: Conversation, Engagement, Information, Prevention, and Awareness, and it established the definitions of the positive and negative valences associated with each use. The most common uses found were Conversation and Engagement. Likewise, the two areas most studied were Public Health and Infectious Diseases. Conclusion: There is no consensus on the usefulness of Twitter as a tool for information or for generating debate, although the platform’s effectiveness for measuring the impact of health campaigns was highlighted.

O visível e o invisível na obra de Elaine Tedesco
Authors:   Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Wächter Adriane Schrage
Published: June 2023

Nessa pesquisa analiso a ideia de visível e invisível, conceito de Didi-huberman em seu livro ?o que vemos, o que nos olha? em relação ao trabalho que contém uma escada a beira da lagoa da artista Elaine Tedesco. A obra de Elaine, considerada paisagem traz o elemento escada, objeto que juntamente com a artista compõe o cenário da praia sul-riograndense que foi registrado por meio da fotografia. A paisagem é um elemento construído dentro da arte, por isso é considerada uma invenção, como explica Anne Cauquelin em seu livro ?A invenção da paisagem?. Não se sabe exatamente quando ela surgiu, mas alguns momentos em que sofreu influencias de outros elementos como os jardins ou mesmo as pinturas. O seu conceito teria surgido mais fortemente no século XVII com o desenvolvimento da arte flamenga. A paisagem esta relacionada com o espaço e o lugar, que no caso do espaço e local da obra de Elaine Tedesco seria a praia.

Published: June 2023

Esse artigo propõe-se uma apresentação da pesquisa em fase inicial de desenvolvimento no doutorado em Estética e História da Arte. A proposta é analisar a composição e a significação do acervo de obras de arte pertencente ao Ministério das Relações Exteriores brasileiro. As obras e os artistas coligidos para figurar nesse acervo foram chamados a representar o Brasil, tal qual é a função do MRE, e consequentemente, constrói-se um discurso a partir de uma ideia do que é o Brasil artisticamente. O acervo em análise é altamente revelador da postura do Estado brasileiro em relação às artes e à cultura, pois os itens dessa coleção são peças da narrativa oficial produzida pelo órgão responsável pela "imagem" do país externamente.
O silêncio e a estética na pintura de Edward Hopper: a iconografia norte americana
Authors:   Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie, Susigan Cristina
Published: June 2023

As obras de arte falam. O silêncio é apenas o incompreendido, o espanto, a purgação da alma. Como se existisse uma verdade dentro de cada quadro e o silêncio dentro de cada pensamento. É um conflito. Olhar a obra e tentar entendê-la. Nos quadros de Eward Hopper (1882 – 1967), pintor norte americano, silêncio, solidão e o vazio dos cenários revelam a ausência de comunicação entre seus personagens, perdidos em seus pensamentos, que olham pela janela, em um mundo à parte; o silêncio é gritante.

O presente artigo parte de uma questão que já foi explorada exaustivamente pela historiografia da arte brasileira: a relação das obras de José Ferraz de Almeida Júnior (1850-1899) com a sua personalidade supostamente caipira. A razão para a insistência no assunto é simples: seu autorretrato, de 1878, pertencente hoje à Pinacoteca Rubem Berta, em Porto Alegre [Figura 1], e as eventuais implicações que traz para a sua imagem enquanto artista.
Negro, mas belo: São Benedito, o santo preto da Idade Moderna
Authors:   Universidade Federal de São Paulo, Oliveira Joyce Farias de
Published: June 2023

Em Santos, na Igreja da Irmandade de São Benedito, localizada no altar-mor deste templo, está a escultura da segunda metade do século XIX de São Benedito. De origem portuguesa e apresentando uma tendência neoclássica com formas mais lineares, de anatomia mais longilínea, de policromia em tons mais rebaixados, nem sempre com a utilização do douramento, esta peça permite explorar modificações estilísticas acerca da produção de arte religiosa no século XIX, no entanto, esta comunicação pretende abordar apenas o histórico da iconografia de São Benedito, na tentativa de ressaltar o problema da "cor preta" na construção de uma santidade negra no catolicismo tridentino. Isso porque esta peça possui um detalhe incomum, sendo importante frisá-lo neste começo.
Ofélia na França do século XIX: do texto shakespeariano às imagens na pintura
Authors:   Universidade de Brasília, Rocha Lívia Zacarias
Published: June 2023

Ofélia, personagem secundária do Hamlet shakespeariano, peça escrita entre 1599 e 1601, é uma figura frequentemente retratada na pintura. Suas representações nas artes visuais superam com vantagem até mesmo as do protagonista. Na trama, a jovem é filha de Polônio, conselheiro do reino da Dinamarca. Apaixonada por Hamlet, se mostra desequilibrada após descobrir que o príncipe fora o responsável pela morte de seu pai. Em seu último encontro com o protagonista, ele a maltrata muito e, somado à tristeza pela morte do pai, Ofélia enlouquece.
A Utopia Realista de Thoré-Bürger

Published: June 2023

Théophile Thoré, figura de certa relevância no mundo da arte europeu por volta da metade do século XIX e cuja influência sobre o cânone é sentida até hoje, permanece sem receber grande atenção acadêmica. Livros gerais de historiografia da arte como os de Germain Bazin (1989), Udo Kultermann (1996) e Lionello Venturi (1964) dedicam-lhe breves parágrafos, e seu nome é por vezes sucintamente citado em obras sobre a pintura holandesa, quando se fala de sua ?redescoberta?. Pois esta foi, de fato, a grande contribuição de Thoré: artistas como Frans Hals e, em especial, Johannes Vermeer (antes praticamente desconhecido) não seriam hoje considerados dois dos mais importantes pintores da arte ocidental sem seu consciente e diligente trabalho de recuperação.
Musealias dos mártires: a musealização dos bustos relicários no Museu de Arte sacra
Authors:   Universidade Federal da Bahia, Bulcão Menderson Correia
Published: June 2023

Esta pesquisa "Os Bustos relicários da igreja do antigo Colégio dos Jesuítas: o potencial histórico das imagens de arte sacra", tem como objeto de estudo a musealização de uma coleção de Relicários em formato de bustos que entre os séculos XVI e XVIII eram receptáculos de hierofanias, pois continham as relíquias sacralizadas (partes de corpos de santificados ao modo cristão) pela igreja. A estética jesuítica e a perspectiva da imitatio é questão fundante para a apreciação da disseminação de um tipo de cultura visual vinculada à propaganda da fé cristã e a sua política de representação com a pregnância dos postulados definidos pela igreja a partir dos cânones e da mediação destas imagens e da projeção dos conceitos da História da Arte e Museologia, Comunicação e Artes e os desdobramentos que tangenciam as suas interrelações.

Como no episódio da Madeleine em Proust, ao nos colocarmos recentemente diante das imagens arqueológicas da Vila Amaury, dos resquícios da favela sob o lago artificial de Brasília, nossa memória foi ativada por vários outros silenciamentos do passado sobre a construção da capital. Essas recordações nos fizeram ver este afogamento não como um caso isolado, como poderia parecer, mas como uma recorrência e, talvez mesmo, como uma vocação planejada da cidade capital moderna.

Se certa tradição ocidental nos condicionou a compreender o silêncio a partir da ideia de vazio, inação, obscuridade, morte, tédio e categorias afins, a arte vem à tona como um descortinamento das múltiplas possibilidades discursivas contidas neste elemento. Sob esta perspectiva, sua dimensão interpretativa e os processos de atribuição de significado que o envolvem tornam-se potencialmente irrestritos, assim como os meios pelos quais ele pode se tornar manifesto.

Remembrance and oblivion in vaccine development and vaccination coverage rates in Brazil: addressing vaccinology based on the One Health perspective
Authors: Chies José Artur Bogo , Ellwanger Joel Henrique
Published: June 2023

Lack of funds or interest from industry delays vaccine development. In 2016, a SARS vaccine was listed among the top ten in Research & Development (R&D), but this and several other vaccines were "put in a freezer" for different reasons. This can have devastating public health consequences when a pandemic such as COVID-19 emerges. In Brazil, vaccine coverage rates have dropped significantly in recent times, facilitating the reemergence of diseases that were "forgotten" by the Brazilian population. In past years, Brazil was considered by the international community as a good example and model concerning mass immunization programs. These achievements need to be remembered and rescued as a public health strategy. Investing in vaccine R&D is fundamental to the prevention and control of infectious diseases. However, this action must be integrated into a broader strategy considering the prevention of emerging diseases by maintaining ecosystems' function and preserving human, animal and environmental health (One Health perspective). Otherwise, advances in vaccine R&D will be constantly overtaken by the emergence of new disease outbreaks. Discussion on how to accelerate vaccine development and licensure is still needed, and the One Health perspective can help us to face emerging health challenges. These and other critical points involving vaccine-related issues are addressed in this article, with a focus on the Brazilian context. Finally, some solutions to deal with these problems are suggested.
Optimization of route distance using k-NN algorithm for on-demand food delivery
Authors: Paithane Pradip , Wagh Sarita Jibhau , Kakarwal Sangeeta
Published: June 2023

Customers are now more able to purchase goods over the phone or the Internet, and the ability for those purchases to be delivered safely to the customer’s location is proliferating. On-request meal delivery, where customers submit their food orders online, and riders deliver them, is growing in popularity. The cutting-edge urban food application necessitates incredibly efficient and adaptable continuous delivery administrations toward quick delivery with the shortest route. However, signing up enough food parcels and training them to use such food-seeking frameworks is challenging. This article describes a publicly supported web-based food delivery system. IoT (Internet of Things) and 3G, 4G, or 5G developments can attract public riders to act as publicly sponsored riders delivering meals using shared bikes or electric vehicles. The publicly funded riders are gradually distributed among several food suppliers for food delivery. This investigation promotes an online food ordering system and uses K-Nearest Neighbor calculations to address the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) in directing progress. The framework also uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) on Android-compatible mobile devices and the TOM-TOM Routing API to obtain coordinates for planning purposes. To evaluate the presentation of the proposed approach, recreated limited scope and certifiable enormous scope on-request food delivery occurrences are used. Compared to the conventional methodology, the proposed strategy reduces the delay time. Each rider will receive the most direct route to the order delivery address. The delivery delay time is reduced by approximately 10–15 minutes for every order. The food supplier can determine whether an item is available to the rider; thus, the food supplier can add an order to the rider having the shortest way.

Attention is brought to the measures BRICS nations adopted to continue providing quality education despite the imposed restrictions and challenges. As explained in the text, transformations imposed by the pandemic affected the functioning of the entire education system and adapted responses depended on the available resources and overall capacity to adapt to the crisis by individual institutions and contexts. Furthermore, the transformations pointed out the existing inequalities and many unknowns for which various educational stakeholders were not always prepared. As evident from the account, strategic planning must better prepare education systems for emergencies such as the Covid-19 pandemic. It is also paramount that the narrative of the strategic planning and the vision for the future focuses on thriving instead of surviving.

The importance of agricultural programs in reducing poverty, improving livelihoods, and increasing productivity cannot be overstated. Poverty and unemployment remain the most pressing developmental concerns in rural communities of Africa in general and South Africa in particular. The study was derived from the contribution of the agricultural development programs and sought to discover how the Fortune 40 initiative impacted rural livelihoods of youth in Bushbuckridge Local Municipality. Primary data using cross-sectional research design was collected from beneficiaries of the Fortune 40 program, through use of a questionnaire. An ordered probit model was used to analyse the impact of Fortune 40 initiative to rural livelihoods. Empirical results revealed that age of beneficiaries, household size, type of farming, credit access and land size were the factors with the likelihood to influence the impact of the Fortune 40 program. Therefore, it can be concluded that the land size for production should increase or expanded to enhance production of vegetables; provision of credit facilities for youths in agriculture through micro-finance and rural commercial banks is essential; also, youth, such as agricultural graduates looking for practical experience and on-farm training, should be considered in the program.

Conducting an accurate hydrological water balance at the regional and country-wide scales is paramount to assessing available water resources and adequately allocating them. One of the main components of these balances is the anthropogenic recharge of groundwater either intentionally, through managed aquifer recharge (MAR), or unintentionally, where infiltration from dams and dykes can play a significant role. In Spain, proper management of water resources is critical due to the arid to semiarid conditions prevalent in most of the territory and the relevance of water resources for maintaining a robust agricultural sector. Spanish Previous work has estimated country-wide recharge from MAR at 150-280 Mm3/year. Recently, water authorities have pointed out that, according to hydrological water balances, the total volume from "unintentional recharge" from water courses may exceed 500 Mm3/year. The present research aims to present a new inventory of transverse structures in Spain and use it to estimate country-wide unintentional recharge. The inventory, compiled by the Spanish Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, has more than 26,000 structures and includes construction characteristics, which allow for estimating the wet perimeter and the infiltration area. Structural data from the inventory was crossed through map algebra with thematic layers, such as lithology, permeability, the digital elevation model, the average groundwater levels, etc., in a GIS environment to arrive at the objective. Different analytical formulas to compute infiltration from small dams and dykes were also employed. The resulting volume of unintentional recharge from transverse structures in Spain is about 800 Mm3/year. This quantity can help close the hydrological balance at the national and river basin levels. Furthermore, this figure provides an order of magnitude for anthropogenic recharge at a national scale, which is difficult to obtain.

The most recent and non-invasive approach for studying early-stage biomarkers is liquid biopsy. It implies the extraction and analysis of non-solid biological tissues (serum, plasma, saliva, urine and cerebrospinal fluid) without undergoing invasive procedures to determine disease prognosis. Liquid biopsy can be used for the screening of several components such as extracellular vesicles, microRNAs, cell-free DNA, cell-free mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, circulating tumor cells, circulating tumor DNA, transfer RNA and circular DNA or RNA derived from body fluids. Its application includes early disease diagnosis, surveillance of disease activity, and treatment response monitoring, with growing evidence for validating this methodology in cancer, liver disease, and central nervous system (CNS) disorders. This review will provide an overview of mentioned liquid biopsy components, which could serve as valuable biomarkers for the evaluation of complex neurological conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, stroke, traumatic brain injury, CNS tumors, and neuroinfectious diseases. Furthermore, this review highlights the future directions and potential limitations associated with liquid biopsy.

Thalassemia is a heterogeneous congenital hemoglobinopathy common in the Mediterranean region, Middle East, Indian subcontinent, and Southeast Asia with increasing incidence in Northern Europe and North America due to immigration. Iron overloading is one of the major long-term complications in patients with thalassemia and can lead to organ damage and carcin-ogenesis. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies in both transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) and non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia (NTDT). The incidence of HCC in patients with thalassemia has increased over time, as better chelation therapy confers a sufficiently long lifespan for the development of HCC. The mechanisms of iron overloading-associated HCC development include the increased　reactive oxygen species (ROS), inflammation cytokines, dysregulated hepcidin, and ferroportin metabolism. The treat-ment of HCC in patients with thalassemia was basically similar to those in general population. However, due to the younger age of HCC onset in thalassemia, regular surveillance for HCC development is mandatory in TDT and NTDT. Other supplemental therapy and experience of novel treatment for HCC in thalassemia population were also reviewed in this article.

This paper presents the results of the study of carbon films deposited on substrates of quartz, mica and silicon by the method of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). This study has identified the dependences of the intensities of the EPR signal, the g- factor, and the line width on the temperature of carbon films on various substrates with perpendicular and parallel arrangement of the sample plane relative to the orientation of the magnetic field are presented. The results of this study show that the dependence of the line width on temperature measurements does not change under both conditions for recording the EPR spectra. The research has also shown that with increasing temperature, the normalized intensity of the EPR signal line increases when carbon is deposited on various substrates (quartz, mica, and silicon) by the method of plasma decomposition of a mixture of CH4 and H2.

Ultra-high temperature oxidation-resistant alloys (UTORAs) have received a lot of attention due to the increased research demand for deep space exploration around the world. But UTORAs have the disadvantages of easy oxidation and chalking. So, in this study, a UTORA was prepared by hot-press sintering on VZrHfNbTa (HEA) substrate coated with hafnium.
The bonding mechanism, resistance to high-temperature oxidation, and hardness of the sample tests were carried out. The results show that zirconium in the matrix will diffuse into the hafnium coating during the high-temperature sintering process and form the HfZr alloy transition layer, the coating thickness of the composite is about 120 μm, and the diffusion distance of zirconium in the hafnium coating is about 60 μm, this transition layer chemically combines the hafnium coating and the HEA substrate into a monolithic alloy composite. The results of high-temperature oxidation experiments show that the oxidation degree of the hafnium-coated VZrHfNbTa composite material was significantly lower than that of the VZrHfNbTa HEA after oxidation in air at 1600 °C for 5 h. The weight gain of the coated sample after oxidation is 56.56 mg/cm2, which was only 57.7 % compared to the weight gain of the uncoated sample (98.09 mg/cm2 for uncoated), and the surface of the uncoated HEA showed obvious dents, oxidation, and pulverization occurred on the surface and interior of the sample. In contrast, the coated composite alloy sample mainly underwent surface oxidation sintering to form a dense HfO2 protective layer, and the internal oxidation of the hafnium-coated VZrHfNbTa composite alloy was significantly lower than that of the uncoated VZrHfNbTa HEA.

Abstract: Based on the survey data of 5 large grain-producing provinces in China, this paper studies the effect of agricultural production trusteeship on agricultural carbon emission reduction by using a propensity score matching method. The empirical results show that the carbon emission of wheat reduces by 7.107kg/mu, with a decrease rate of 15.5% after participating in agricultural production trusteeship. Among them, chemical fertilizers, manpower input, agricultural chemicals and diesel oil respectively reduces with rates of 14.2%, 27.7%, 14.1%, and 6%. However, there are differences in the facilitation effects of different trusteeship services, with the best promotion effect of field management services, followed by cultivation, planting and harvest services, and then agricultural material supply services, the ATT is -6.160, -5.732 and -5.530, respectively. Meanwhile, there are differences in the promotion effects for farm households with different factor endowments. The promotion effect is better for small farm households with 1 type of agricultural machinery or less, and an operation scale of 7 mus or less. Therefore, in order to better play the role of agricultural production trusteeship on agricultural carbon emission reduction, the government should vigorously support its development and guide more smallholders to choose agricultural production trusteeship.
