Mapping Nutritional Inequality: A Primary Socio-Spatial Analysis of Food Deserts in Santiago de Chile
Authors: Landaeta-Díaz Leslie , Vergara-Perucich Francisco , Aguirre-Nuñez Carlos , Ulloa-Leon Felipe
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the socio-spatial distribution of food deserts in Santiago de Chile, aiming to understand how urban planning and socioeconomic factors influence access to nutritious food. Employing geospatial analysis techniques with data from OpenStreetMap and the 2017 Census, the research identifies areas within Santiago where access to healthy food is limited. The novelty of this study lies in its application of spatial autocorrelation methods, specifically Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA), to reveal clusters of nutritional inequality. The findings indicate significant concentrations of food deserts in both lower socioeconomic peripheral areas and, surprisingly, in some high-income central areas. These results suggest that both poverty and urban infrastructure, including car dependency, play critical roles in shaping access to healthy food. By highlighting over two million residents affected by food deserts, the study underscores the urgent need for integrated urban planning and public health strategies. This research contributes to the understanding of urban nutritional inequality and provides a replicable methodological framework for other cities. The implications extend beyond Santiago, offering insights into how urban design can be leveraged to improve public health outcomes through better access to nutritious food.
Bafilomycin A1 Inhibits HIV-1 Infection by Disrupting Lysosomal Cholesterol Transport
Authors: Song Byeongwoon , Korolkova Olga
Published: August 2024

The productive replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) involves intricate interactions between viral proteins and host cell machinery. However, the contributions of the lysosomal pathways for HIV-1 replication are not fully understood. The goal of this study was to determine the impact of lysosome-targeting compounds on HIV-1 replication and identify the cellular changes that are linked to HIV-1 inhibition using cell culture models of HIV-1 infection. Here, we demonstrate that the treatment of cells with various pharmacological agents known to inhibit lysosomal functions interfere with HIV-1 replication. The vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) inhibitor bafilomycin A1 exerted a potent inhibition of HIV-1 replication. Bafilomycin A1 inhibition of HIV-1 was independent of coreceptor tropism of HIV-1. Our data suggest that bafilomycin A1 inhibits HIV-1 at the post-integration steps of the virus life cycle, which include viral gene expression, virus assembly, and/or egress. Analysis of the cellular alterations following bafilomycin A1 treatment indicates that bafilomycin A1 causes a disruption in lysosome structure and functions. Treatment of cells with bafilomycin A1 caused an accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in lysosomes along with the expansion of the lysosomal compartments. Interestingly, the overexpression of the lysosomal cholesterol transporter Niemann–Pick type C 1 (NPC1) partially relieved bafilomycin A1 inhibition of HIV-1. Collectively, our data suggest that bafilomycin A1 inhibits HIV-1 replication in part by disrupting the lysosomal cholesterol trafficking pathway.

Authors: Jaggi Ujjaldeep , Ghiasi Homayon
Published: August 2024

CD80 is the best-known costimulatory molecule for effective T cell functions. Many different reports have summarized the role of CD80 in HSV-1 and its functions in maintaining adaptive immunity, which is the main player in causing herpes stromal keratitis (HSK). To determine the effects of absence or overexpression of CD80 in HSV-1 infection, we infected CD80-/- and WT mice with a recombinant HSV-1 expressing murine CD80 (HSV-CD80) in place of the latency associated transcript (LAT). Parental dLAT2903 virus lacking LAT was used as a control. After infection, critical components of infection like virus replication, eye disease, early cellular infiltrates into the corneas and trigeminal ganglia (TG), latency-reactivation in the infected mice were determined. Our findings reveal that the absence of CD80 in the CD80-/- mice infected with both viruses did not affect the viral titers in the mice eyes or eye disease, but it played a significant role in critical components of HSV-induced immunopathology. The WT mice infected with dLAT2903 virus had significantly higher levels of latency compared with the CD80-/- mice infected with dLAT2903 virus, while levels of latency as determined by gB DNA expression were similar between the WT and CD80-/- mice infected with HSV-CD80 virus. In contrast to the differences in the levels of latency between the infected groups, the absence of CD80 expression in the CD80-/- mice or its overexpression by HSV-CD80 virus did not have any effect on the time of reactivation. Furthermore, the absence of CD80 expression contributed to more inflammation in the CD80-/--infected mice. Overall, this study suggests that in the absence of CD80, inflammation increases, latency is reduced, but reactivation is not affected. Altogether, our study suggests that reduced latency correlated with reduced levels of inflammatory molecules and blocking or reducing expression of CD80 could be used to mitigate the immune responses, therefore controlling HSV-induced infection.

Published: August 2024

HPV16 is occasionally detected in vaccinated women who received the bivalent HPV16/18 vaccine, usually at low viral loads. This study explored potential differences in HPV16 variants between vaccinated and unvaccinated women. HPV16-postive viral loads were detected in 1.9% (17/875) and 13% (162/760) of vaccinated and unvaccinated women, respectively, showcasing the vaccine’s high efficacy. The L1, E6, and URR regions of HPV16 were sequenced from genital swabs from 16 vaccinated and 25 unvaccinated women in the HAVANA (HPV Among Vaccinated And Non-vaccinated Adolescents) study. The majority of HPV16 variants from vaccinated and unvaccinated women clustered similarly with sub-lineages A1 and A2. Additionally, a separate cluster within lineage A was found, with the variants sharing the L1-located SNP A753G (synonymous) and the URR-located SNP T340C, which did not occur in the other variants. Furthermore, four variants from vaccinated women had relatively long branches, but were not characterized by specific SNPs. The frequency of G712A in the URR was the only SNP observed to be marginally higher among vaccinated women than unvaccinated women. Non-synonymous SNPs T266A in the FG-loop of L1 and L83V in E6 were common among variants from vaccinated and unvaccinated women, but present in similar frequencies. In conclusion, the detection of HPV16 in vaccinated (and unvaccinated) women seemed to be the result of random circulation within this study population.
HSV-2 Manipulates Autophagy through Interferon Pathway: A Strategy for Viral Survival
Authors: Dass Debashree , Banerjee Anwesha , Dhotre Kishore , Sonawane Vaishnavi , More Ashwini , Mukherjee Anupam
Published: August 2024

Autophagy, an evolutionarily conserved cellular process, influences the regulation of viral infections. While the existing understanding indicates that Herpes Simplex Virus type 2 (HSV-2) maintains a basal level of autophagy to support its viral yield, the precise pathways governing the induction of autophagy during HSV-2 infection remain unknown. Therefore, this study aims to explore the role of type I interferons (IFN-I) in modulating autophagy during HSV-2 infection and to decode the associated signaling pathways. Our findings revealed an interplay wherein IFN-I regulates the autophagic response during HSV-2 infection. Additionally, we investigated the cellular pathways modulated during this complex process. Exploring the intricate network of signaling events involved in autophagy induction during HSV-2 infection holds promising therapeutic implications. Identifying these pathways advances our understanding of host–virus interactions and holds the foundation for developing targeted therapeutic strategies against HSV-2. The insight gained from this study provides a platform for exploring potential therapeutic targets to restrict HSV-2 infections, addressing a crucial need in antiviral research.

Authors: Du Hongxia , Wang Zihan , Shah Kinjal J. , Sun Yongjun
Published: August 2024

In this article, attapulgite (ATP) as a raw material, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a modifier, and chitosan (CTS) as a composite are used to prepare a natural mineral-based composite adsorbent CTAB-ATP/CTS for the adsorption of norfloxacin in water. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and specific surface area (BET) were used for characterization. When the initial pH is 7, the dosage of adsorbent is 3 g/L, and the initial concentration of norfloxacin is 50 mg/L, the reaction temperature is 25 °C, the shaking time is 4 h, and the maximum removal rate and adsorption capacity of CTAB-ATP/CTS for norfloxacin reached 94.62% and 23.66 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption of norfloxacin by CTAB-ATP/CTS is more consistent with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.9999, 0.9998, 0.9999 at initial concentrations of 25 mg/L, 50 mg/L, 75 mg/L), and the Langmuir isotherm adsorption model(R2 = 0.9903, 0.9935, 0.9933 at temperatures of 25 °C, 30 °C, 35 °C), indicating that the adsorption process of the composite material is controlled by chemical adsorption and its adsorption behavior is mainly single-layer adsorption.
Identification of Groundwater Contamination Sources Based on a Deep Belief Neural Network

Published: August 2024

Groundwater Contamination Source Identification (GCSI) is a crucial prerequisite for conducting comprehensive pollution risk assessments, formulating effective groundwater contamination control strategies, and devising remediation plans. In previous GCSI studies, various boundary conditions were typically assumed to be known variables. However, in many practical scenarios, these boundary conditions are exceedingly complex and difficult to accurately pre-determine. This practice of presuming boundary conditions as known may significantly deviate from reality, leading to errors in identification results. Moreover, the outcomes of GCSI may be influenced by multiple factors or conditions, including the fundamental information about the contamination source boundary conditions of the polluted area. This study primarily focuses on contamination source information and unknown boundary conditions. Innovatively, three deep learning surrogate models, the Deep Belief Neural Network (DBNN), Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Networks (BiLSTM), and Deep Residual Neural Network (DRNN), are employed for identification and validation and to simulate the highly no-linear simulation model and directly establish a mapping relationship between the outputs and inputs of the simulation model. This approach enables the direct acquisition of the inverse identification results of the variables based on actual monitoring data, thereby facilitating rapid inverse identification. Furthermore, to account for the uncertainty of noise in monitoring data, the inversion accuracy of these three deep learning methods is compared, and the method with higher accuracy is selected for uncertainty analysis. Multiple experiments were conducted, such as accuracy identification tests, robustness tests, and cross-comparative ablation studies. The results demonstrate that all three deep learning models effectively complete the research tasks, with DBNN showing the most exceptional performance in the experiments. DBNN achieved an R2 value of 0.982, an RMSE of 3.77, and an MAE of 7.56%. Subsequent uncertainty analysis, model robustness, and ablation study further affirm DBNN adaptability to GCSI research tasks.
Investigating the Spatio-Temporal Evolution of Land Cover and Ecosystem Service Value in the Kuye River Basin
Authors: Wu Yihan , Qin Fucang , Dong Xiaoyu , Li Long
Published: August 2024

Land cover change influences the provision of regional ecosystem services, posing a threat to regional ecological security and sustainable development. The Kuye River Basin, a vital tributary of the Yellow River Basin, has experienced significant land cover changes due to intense human activity. Building on analysing the spatiotemporal evolution of land use cover and ecosystem service values from 1990 to 2022, this study predicted the land cover structure and ecosystem service value with two future scenarios, the NDC and the EPC, to provide insights into guiding sustainable policy interventions. We found the predominant land cover types were greensward and forest land, accounting for 67.22% of the total area. Forest land, greensward, and farmland have increased, while desert, water area, and other land types have decreased from 1990 to 2022. Forest land, greensward, farmland, and water areas are the main contributors to ecosystem service value in the Kuye River Basin. However, water area services have significantly decreased from 1990 to 2022. Under the NDC scenario, land development primarily relies on greensward and farmland, reducing forest and water areas and weakening the ecosystem’s regulatory and supporting functions. In contrast, the EPC scenario enhances ecosystem services by protecting critical ecological regions. Ecological protection measures significantly increase the ecosystem service values of the Kuye River Basin, and well-planned land use can effectively balance economic development with ecological preservation. This study provides scientific evidence to inform policies integrating ecological protection and economic growth, contributing to the sustainable development of the Kuye River Basin.

Water quality problems are a major challenge that humans encounter in the 21st Century. Water security presents a pressing concern in South Africa due to persistent difficulties in ensuring water availability, accessibility, and quality. Given the numerous activities that are taking place adjacent to riverbanks, there has been a decline in water quality. This study determined the state of the Crocodile River’s intermediate water quality and assessed the effects of various human-induced activities. Water samples were collected during 2016–2023 in different sites within the Crocodile River, and physicochemical parameters were analysed in an accredited laboratory. The Python package Seaborn was used for statistical analysis of the data to provide visualizations and data variations. Overall, the results show that elevated concentrations of electrical conductivity (EC) and sulphate (SO42−) were recorded in the Crocodile River. The presence of elevated EC levels in R571 Bridge exceeded 133.90 µs/cm between 2020 and 2021, whilst the highest concentration levels (114 mg/L) for SO42− were recorded in Malelane in the year 2020. The elevated concentrations of concern were recorded during the dry season (winter) and the wet season (spring). Overall, the comparisons of the spatiotemporal concentration indicate that the water quality parameters fluctuate over time. Moreover, the monitoring practice of detecting the water quality change over time is also fundamental for providing valuable information necessary for the management of integrated water resources.
The ‘Community of Schools and Services’ (COSS) Model of Early Intervention: A System-Changing Innovation for the Prevention of Youth Homelessness
Authors: MacKenzie David , Hand Tammy , Gill Peter
Published: August 2024

Prevention and early intervention have become part of the Australian policy discourse; however, the prevention and early intervention of youth homelessness remain significantly underdeveloped and underfunded in practice. Consequently, too many young people experience homelessness. This article presents the ‘Community of Schools and Services’ (COSS) Model as an innovative approach to the prevention of youth homelessness. The COSS Model is an Australian place-based collective impact approach that uses data gathered via population screening in secondary schools to identify and then support adolescents at risk of homelessness and also reorganizes the local support system available to vulnerable young people and their families. This paper is not the result of a research project. Rather, this paper presents the findings of the Embedded Development and Outcomes Measurement (EDOM) report, which is a feature of the COSS Model. This paper is limited to findings from the COSS Model implementation in Albury, NSW, known as the Albury Project, from 2019 to 2023. The Albury Project has demonstrated significant reductions in the risk of homelessness and entry into the local homelessness service system. Findings reveal that: (1) when COSS Model support is delivered to identified at-risk students, 40–50% of individuals are no longer at such high risk of homelessness 12-months later; (2) only 3–5% of students identified as at risk of homelessness and supported through the COSS Model sought assistance from local homelessness services in the following two years; and (3) the flow of adolescents (12–18 years) into the local homelessness services was reduced by 40% from 2019 to 2023. As an evidence-based, complex innovation, there are major policy, funding, and implementation challenges in scaling the model to multiple community sites.

Published: August 2024

O conceito de sustentabilidade, promovido como uma pretensa solução para a crise ambiental e social global, enfrenta sérias contradições e limitações práticas. Embora recorrente em discursos políticos e empresariais, sua aplicação frequentemente se desvia dos princípios de equilíbrio ecológico e justiça social. O objetivo deste ensaio é realizar uma análise crítica do conceito de sustentabilidade, investigando suas contradições e limitações no contexto socioeconômico atual. Pretende-se examinar como o termo "sustentabilidade" é apropriado por discursos políticos e empresariais para promover agendas que perpetuam a exploração ambiental e social. Este estudo emprega uma metodologia qualitativa e interpretativa, fundamentando-se em revisão bibliográfica e documental ampla.  Este ensaio discute as contradições e limitações da sustentabilidade ambiental, frequentemente apropriada por discursos políticos e empresariais que perpetuam a exploração socioambiental. Embora considerada uma solução universal, a sustentabilidade pode servir aos interesses do capitalismo global, justificando práticas insustentáveis. Uma sustentabilidade efetiva requer profundas transformações sociais e econômicas.

Acordurile de la Helsinki reflectate în presa comunistă din România
Authors: Florin-Daniel Mihai
Published: August 2024

This paper presents the interpretations of the Romanian communist press on the Helsinki Accords from 1975. The Helsinki Final Act was signed that year, the result of a conference attended by 35 European and North American states. The main stipulations of the Helsinki Final Act related to human rights issues, especially for Eastern European states, and to respect for state sovereignty and territorial integrity. Romanian communist press paid special attention to the last two issues, being interested in acquiring independence from Moscow. Whole passages of the Final Act were reinterpreted, an action that suited state policy, but, unfortunately, lots of humanitarian stipulations were ignored.
New Developments in the Pitesti Re-Education Experiment File in the Communist Romania (1949-1951). Case of Constantin Botez
Authors: MITRIC-CIUPE Vlad
Published: August 2024

Recently, I have edited the memoirs of Nicolae Stroescu-Sovarna, a former political prisoner, who also got acquainted with the Pitești reeducation experiment. Apart from countless details, the author provides some surprising information, mainly about an obscure and almost unidentified figure, a so-called Chief Commissioner from the Securitate, named Constantin Botez. By conducting research in the C.N.S.A.S. archives, I managed to partly document the case, thus validating much of Stroescu’s inkling and intuition. This refers to circumstances in which the topic of the re-education still holds grey areas, if not black spots, even though the topic has been extensively dealt with in memoirs and has been rigorously studied by historians. Some questions got clear answers, while others are even more complicated. What type of missions Botez had, how he accomplished them, the results of his activities and the role he played within this phenomenon – these are things that can only be guessed until future research bring further clarifications.
Politica de extindere a Uniunii Europene în Balcanii de Vest
Authors: NAKEVA Marijana
Published: August 2024

The period of peace and stability that Europe has gone through is largely due to an unprecedented political and legal construction: the European Union. Witnessing the violence that has ravaged the countries of Europe twice in just half a century, the elites of that time have seen in regional integration the right solution to remove the causes of military conflagrations. Of course, the idea of politically uniting Europe was not new, but as old as the “old continent”. This time, however, the polarization of the post-war world between capitalism and communism convinced the European West to embrace the desire for economic interdependence. Today, three decades after the collapse of the Iron Curtain and the first withdrawal of a Member State (UK), enlargement to the Western Balkans appears to be a top priority for European construction. The European integration of the countries of the Western Balkans is, without a doubt, a strategic investment in a stable, strong, united Union.

Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja yang diberlakukan di Indonesia pada tahun 2020 memberikan berbagai perubahan signifikan dalam regulasi ketenagakerjaan. Salah satu aspek yang menjadi perhatian utama adalah Pemutusan Hubungan Kerja (PHK). Penelitian ini akan membahas mengenai perlindungan hukum pekerja atas PHK pasca Undang-undang Cipta Kerja ditinjau dari Kepastian Hukum dan bagaimana hal ini berhubungan dengan upah proses yang diatur dalam Surat Edaran Mahkamah Agung (SEMA) No. 3 Tahun 2018 dalam kasus PHK yang dianggap tidak sah dan menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum terhadap Pekerja Waktu Tertentu (PKWT) yang berubah status menjadi Pekerja Waktu Tidak Tertentu (PKWTT) yang mengalami PHK yang mana Pekerja tidak berhak atas upah prosesnya. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif. Berdasarkan penelitian ini, kepastian hukum pekerja atas PHK pasca Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja belum ada kepastian hukum karena adanya SEMA No. 3 Tahun 2018 yang melemahkan undang-undang ketenagakerjaan di atasnya. Selain itu, ketetapan dalam SEMA tersebut mendapatkan kecaman dari masyarakat karena memberikan kerugian dan ancaman bagi pekerja dalam mendapatkan upah prosesnya.

The power transformer is an invaluable piece of device in the power system. To prevent catastrophic failures and the ensuing power outages, the status of a transformer linked to a system must be examined for any possible faults. Despite using DGA as a global tool for detecting faults, it is limited by the inability to accurately solve the problem associated with results variability due to the intrinsic nature of the IEC TC 10 database. This study proposed a data-driven fault/defect diagnostic model using four ensemble models with three base classifiers respectively. The base classifiers are comprised of SVM, C4.5 decision tree, and naive Bayes while the ensemble methods are comprised of stacking, voting, boosting and bagging respectively. The DGA dataset used comprises seven features and 168 instances split into training (i.e. 56%) and test (i.e. 44%) datasets respectively. The results indicate that C4.5 obtained a 98.33% accuracy while stacking obtained a 99.89% accuracy as the best-performing base and ensemble models respectively. The high classification performance accuracy achieved by our proposed models indicates its capacity for real-world applications. It can be applied to advance automation in mobile-based technology.

Authors: السرحاني سعيد بن مرعي محمد
Published: August 2024

عُني هذا البحث بتحقيق رسالة تراثية فقهية لأحد أئمة الشافعية المتأخّرين، وهو العلامة محمد بن أحمد، الشهير بابن الجوهري (ت1215هـ)، وقد قصد فيها الردّ على منع دخول الغني (الموسِر)، وشريف النسب عند النّذر بالصدقة لهم، وقد أبان فيها جواز ذلك بالحجج النقلية عن أئمة المذهب في المنقول من نصوصهم والمعقول من كلامهم.  وقد اتبع البحث منهج التحقيق على النص المختار بإقامة النص دون تعليق والعناية بموارد المخطوط ومصادر المؤلف التي نقل منها، وقُسّمَ البحث إلى مقدمة وقسمين؛ القسم الأول: في التعريف بالمصنّف والرسالة؛ وفيه مبحثان: المبحث الأول: التعريف بالمصنف؛ وفيه مطلبان: المطلب الأول: اسمه ونسبه ومولده ووفاته. المطلب الثاني: نشأته ومؤلفاته. المبحث الثاني: التعريف بالرسالة؛ وفيه ثلاثة مطالب: المطلب الأول: موضوع الرسالة. المطلب الثاني: التحقيق في نسبة الكتاب للمؤلف. المطلب الثالث: وصف المخطوط ونماذج منه. القسم الثاني: نص الرسالة المحقّق. وتوصّل البحث إلى أن هذه الرسالة أبانت عن منزلة العلاّمة ابن الجوهري في الفقه عموما، وفي مذهب الشافعي على وجه الخصوص، وهي لا تقلّ أهمية عما ألف فيه من أئمة المذهب قبله. وأن لابن الجوهري إسهامات في تجلية بعض المواضع المشكلة في كتب الفقه الشافعي.

Published: August 2024

Objective: to examine family demands and resources in adapting to care for preterm babies at home from the maternal perspective. Method: qualitative, descriptive, exploratory study guided by the theoretical framework of Resilience, Stress, Adjustment and Family Adaptation. Twenty-two mothers of children whose gestational age at birth was less than 32 weeks were interviewed. The mothers acted as informants on the daily dynamics of the family for the care of preterm babies. The MAXQDA© software was used to support the thematic analysis. Results: from the maternal perspective, the family demands identified were increased household chores, constant dedication and care for the child, greater availability of time to attend health care appointments, less social contact and purchase of products for child care. To meet the demands, the family used its own resources, such as spirituality, financial resources and reorganization of the routine, as well as external resources, such as access to health services and the support network, represented by the family and its members individually. Conclusion: demands require effort to be met, indicating that they can contribute to increased family tension and changes in daily life; however, the families' own and external resources contributed to coping with the situations experienced. In practice, nurses' recognition of demands allows them to direct actions to identify and use family resources seeking their adaptation.
