Authors: Gulkis Mitchell , Luo Mengxiao , Chipman Paul , Mietzsch Mario , Söderlund-Venermo Maria , Bennett Antonette , McKenna Robert
Published: August 2024

Bufaviruses (BuV) are members of the Parvoviridae of the Protoparvovirus genus. They are non-enveloped, T = 1 icosahedral ssDNA viruses isolated from patients exhibiting acute diarrhea. The lack of treatment options and a limited understanding of their disease mechanisms require studying these viruses on a molecular and structural level. In the present study, we utilize glycan arrays and cell binding assays to demonstrate that BuV1 capsid binds terminal sialic acid (SIA) glycans. Furthermore, using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), SIA is shown to bind on the 2/5-fold wall of the capsid surface. Interestingly, the capsid residues stabilizing SIA binding are conserved in all human BuVs identified to date. Additionally, biophysical assays illustrate BuV1 capsid stabilization during endo–lysosomal (pH 7.4–pH 4) trafficking and capsid destabilization at pH 3 and less, which correspond to the pH of the stomach. Hence, we determined the cryo-EM structures of BuV1 capsids at pH 7.4, 4.0, and 2.6 to 2.8 Å, 3.2 Å, and 2.7 Å, respectively. These structures reveal capsid structural rearrangements during endo–lysosomal escape and provide a potential mechanism for this process. The structural insights gained from this study will add to the general knowledge of human pathogenic parvoviruses. Furthermore, the identification of the conserved SIA receptor binding site among BuVs provides a possible targetable surface-accessible pocket for the design of small molecules to be developed as anti-virals for these viruses.

Published: August 2024

In December 2020, a major vaccination program against COVID-19 commenced in Europe with vaccines such as Pfizer’s mRNABNT162b2 (Comirnaty®). Subsequent reports of immediate and delayed skin reactions emerged. This study presents a case of a 64-year-old male who developed multiple keratoacanthomas approximately two weeks after receiving a second booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine. The patient, who had significant medical history of hypertension and diabetes, presented with erythematous, crateriform lesions on his limbs. A physical examination and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of Generalized Eruptive Keratoacanthoma (GEKA). Treatment involved cemiplimab I.v. 350 mg administered every three weeks. Within two months, the patient showed significant improvement, with the disappearance of all lesions. Dermoscopy and histopathological exams supported the GEKA diagnosis, which is a rare variant of multiple keratoacanthomas. This case suggests a potential immune-mediated mechanism triggered by the COVID-19 vaccine, leading to the rapid development of keratoacanthomas. Treatment with cemiplimab showed promise, highlighting the potential of immune checkpoint inhibitors in managing multiple keratoacanthomas. Further research is needed to explore the efficacy and safety of such treatments.

Published: August 2024

Accurate and reliable short-term runoff prediction plays a pivotal role in water resource management, agriculture, and flood control, enabling decision-makers to implement timely and effective measures to enhance water use efficiency and minimize losses. To further enhance the accuracy of runoff prediction, this study proposes a FA-LSTM model that integrates the Firefly algorithm (FA) with the long short-term memory neural network (LSTM). The research focuses on historical daily runoff data from the Dahuangjiangkou and Wuzhou Hydrology Stations in the Xijiang River Basin. The FA-LSTM model is compared with RNN, LSTM, GRU, SVM, and RF models. The FA-LSTM model was used to carry out the generalization experiment in Qianjiang, Wuxuan, and Guigang hydrology stations. Additionally, the study analyzes the performance of the FA-LSTM model across different forecasting horizons (1–5 days). Four quantitative evaluation metrics—mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), coefficient of determination (R2), and Kling–Gupta efficiency coefficient (KGE)—are utilized in the evaluation process. The results indicate that: (1) Compared to RNN, LSTM, GRU, SVM, and RF models, the FA-LSTM model exhibits the best prediction performance, with daily runoff prediction determination coefficients (R2) reaching as high as 0.966 and 0.971 at the Dahuangjiangkou and Wuzhou Stations, respectively, and the KGE is as high as 0.965 and 0.960, respectively. (2) FA-LSTM model was used to conduct generalization tests at Qianjiang, Wuxuan and Guigang hydrology stations, and its R2 and KGE are 0.96 or above, indicating that the model has good adaptability in different hydrology stations and strong robustness. (3) As the prediction period extends, the R2 and KGE of the FA-LSTM model show a decreasing trend, but the whole model still showed feasible forecasting ability. The FA-LSTM model introduced in this study presents an effective new approach for daily runoff prediction.

Critical Discourse Studies on Language and Identity of Social Actors Represented in UK Prime Minister Elizabeth Truss’ Speech of Announcing Resignation
Authors: Bustam Muhammad Rayhan
Published: August 2024

The study aims to reveal the social actors, the discourse strategies, and the representation of the actors that UK Prime Minister, Elizabeth Truss, brought up in her resignation speech. Besides, the study also sees how she uses language to construct the identitiesof the social actors in the speech. The method used in the study is qualitative descriptive since the data are the language used in the speech, and they will be presented descriptively in analysis. The grand theory of this research is Theo van Leeuwen’s representation of social actors (2008), and it is also supported by MAK Halliday’s SFL theory (2004). The grand theory provides a set of analysis to reveal how the social actors are represented in the discourse; The set consists of two strategies, exclusion and inclusion. Exclusion means eliminating the social actors through some linguistic mechanisms while inclusion means putting the actors in the center of attentionand being presented in the discourse clearly. The results show that both strategies are used by Elizabeth Truss in her speech, but the most strategy used is inclusion. In addition, as for labeling the social actor's identity in her speech, she tries to do it proportionally; however, she also tries to post herself in a superior position to her political opponents and subordinates, and post herself in an inferior position to those she respects. In conclusion, from the study conducted it can be stated that through the resignation speech, Lizz Truss still tried to maintain her authority as prime minister by trying to be respectful and admitting her weaknesses while on duty, and also by constructing a proportional identity in the speech, she also tried to spread new optimism to the public in welcoming the new leadership that will replace her. Finally, the study can bring impacts on providing valuable insights of understanding political discourse, identifying the patterns of communication, and also evaluating the prime minister's legacy.

The study aimed to compare the chemical composition and in vitro antioxidant activity of an extract obtained from Cannabis sativa L and golden root (Rhodiola rosea L), which are both used as natural anxiolytics. The phytochemical profile (HPLC - DAD analysis), total polyphenol content (TPC), and antioxidant capacity (AOC) of the combination of Rhodiola rosea extract and Cannabis sativa oil were investigated to study their effects. To determine the DPPH radicalscavenging activity, an electron paramagnetic radical spectrometer (EPR-X-band) was used as a promising technique. The results indicated that the new extract derived from the combination of Rhodiola rosea and Cannabis sativa was richer in phenolic compounds and exhibited higher antioxidant activity. These findings provide valuable insights for potential in vivo studies that involve the simultaneous use of the two plants.

In this study we developed new thermodynamic models for solution behavior and solid-liquid equilibrium in eight acetate binary systems from low to very high concentration at 25oC: six systems of the type 1-1 (X(CH3COO)-H2O with X= (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Tl)) and two systems of the type 2-1 (Y(CH3COO)2-H2O with Y= (Mg, and Ba)). Models were developed on the basis of Pitzer ion interactions approach. To parameterize models for binary systems we used all available experimental osmotic coefficients data (φ) for the whole concentration range of solutions. To develop models, we used different versions of the standard molality-based Pitzer approach. It was established that for all acetate systems under study application of extended approach with 4 parameters (β0 , β1 , β2 and Cφ ) and variation of 1 and 2 terms in fundamental Pitzer equations leads to the lowest values of standard model-experiment deviation. The predictions of new developed here models are in excellent agreement with experimental φ data, and with recommendations on the mean activity coefficients (±) from low to very high concentration: up to 23.8 m in K(CH3COO)-H2O, up to 39.2 m in Rb(CH3COO)-H2O, and up to 52.2 m in Cs(CH3COO)-H2O. On the basis of evaluated binary parameters important thermodynamic characteristics (Deliquescence Relative Humidity DRH, thermodynamic solubility products Ko sp; standard molar Gibbs free energy of formation, fGo m) for 7 acetate solids were determined at 25oC. The calculated DRH and fGo m values were compared with those reported in the literature. The models described in this study are of high importance, especially in development and improvement of technology for production and purification of acetate solutions and solid phases.

The article examines the concept of collaborationism, its main features and types. The issues of collaboration in modern Ukraine are especially relevant referring to the ongoing occupation of part of the sovereign territory, which is connected with the beginning of the Russian war against the Ukraine. Collaborationism is defined in modern science as a complex and ambiguous socio-political phenomenon that arises as a result of interaction between subjects of the communication process and enemies, or occupiers. The work identifies international legal acts that reveal the phenomenon of collaborationism; it is shown that some of them were developed even before World War I. Today, there is an agreed position of the EU countries on collaborationism, which is presented in many modern documents. Collaborationism is shown as a complex and ambiguous psychosocial and ethical phenomenon arising from the interaction between subjects of the communication process (individuals, certain political organizations and participants). The paper specifies that collaboration should be interpreted as voluntary or forced cooperation with the enemy in all spheres of life, in particular political, military, economic, socio-cultural, household, etc. It is concluded that the modern concept of collaborationism includes certain forms of treasonous cooperation of the population with the occupying power, its representatives, and the aggressor state through various actions in the military, economic, political and other spheres of life. The common goal of collaborative activities is to cause great damage to the sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of own state. Modern researchers specify collaborationism, which involves the presence of a political agreement with the occupier, "cooperation" with the occupiers in civilian territories, as well as "joint warfare" on the side of the invader. Key words: collaborationism, collaborator, types of collaborationism, criteria for the classification of collaborationism.
التفريق بين قول اللسان وعمله في تعريف ابن تيمية للإيمان ومسالك العلماء في توجيهه

فكرة البحث الرئيسة تدور حول عبارة مشكلة لابن تيمية في العقيدة الواسطية حين عطف (عمل اللسان) على (قول اللسان) في تعريفه للإيمان. وتظهر أهمية البحث في أنه يعتبر أول دراسة مستقلة تطرقت لهذا الإشكال. ومشكلة البحث: تكمن في أن بعض الذين فرقوا بين قول اللسان وعمله من شراح العقيدة الواسطية قد يلتبس قولهم بأحد أقوال المرجئة من بعض الوجوه، لا كلها، فيهدف البحث إلى استجلاء المقصود من مصطلح (عمل اللسان) عند أهل السنة، وبيان مسالك العلماء في توجيه عبارة ابن تيمية المشكلة، والكشف عن المسلك الأقرب للصواب منها. ومنهج البحث الذي استخدمه الباحث هو المنهج الاستقرائي التحليلي في اتجاهين؛ الأول: فيما يتعلق بالمقصود بإطلاق مصطلح (عمل اللسان) عند أهل السنة من خلال مدوناتهم التراثية، والثاني: مصنفات ابن تيمية للوصول إلى مقصوده بهذه العبارة. وقد أظهرت الدراسة عدة نتائج توصل لها الباحث منها: أن أهل السنة يطلقون على ما ينطق به اللسان، أنه: قول اللسان، وعمله، وفعله، فهي تسميات متعددة لمسمى واحد. وأن الذين يفرقون بين قول اللسان وعمله، لا دليل عندهم على هذا التفريق، ولم يسبقهم إليه أحد. وأن القول بأن عمل اللسان: حركته، قول مخالف للصواب غير مسبوق بأحد من أهل السنة، بل مسبوق بالمرجئ: شَبَابَة بن سَوَّار، وقد حذّر من قوله الإمام أحمد. وأن الخلاف لفظي بين المفرقين بين قول اللسان وعمله، والنافين للتفريق طالما أن الجميع يدخلون عمل الجوارح في مسمى الإيمان. ولذلك يرى الباحث اعتماد شرح العبارة المشكلة بعدم التفريق بين قول اللسان وعمله، وألا يقال بأن عمل اللسان هي حركته، مع التأكيد على ركنية جنس عمل الجوارح.

Objective:
Skin wound exposed to complex external environment for a long time is highly susceptible to bacterial infection.
Impact Statement:
This work designs a Janus adhesive dual-layer hydrogel containing in situ silver nanoparticles (named PSAP/DXP@AgNPs) with integrated attack and defense to simultaneously kill the existing bacteria and prevent foreign bacterial contamination.
Introduction:
The current gauze dressing fixed by tape fails to well fit at skin wound and lacks intrinsic antibacterial property, making it highly prone to causing secondary infection. Moreover, foreign bacteria may contaminate the wound dressing during use, further increasing the risk of secondary infection.
Methods:
In this work, a Janus adhesive dual-layer PSAP/DXP@AgNPs hydrogel is prepared by sequentially building the PSAP gel layer containing zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylamide) (PSBMA) on the DXP@AgNPs gel layer containing in situ catechol-reduced AgNPs.
Results:
The flexible PSAP/DXP@AgNPs can adapt shape change of skin and adhere to skin tissue with interfacial toughness of 153.38 J m
−2
relying on its DXP@AgNPs layer, which is beneficial to build favorable fit. The in situ reduced AgNPs released from the DXP@AgNPs layer of PSAP/DXP@AgNPs exhibit obvious antibacterial effects against
Escherichia coli
and
Staphylococcus aureus
, with antibacterial rates of 99% and 88%, respectively. Meanwhile, the hydrated PSAP layer of PSAP/DXP@AgNPs containing PSBMA is able to prevent the bacterial contamination, decreasing the risk of secondary infection. Besides, cell experiments demonstrate that PSAP/DXP@AgNPs is biocompatible.
Conclusion:
The PSAP/DXP@AgNPs hydrogel with integrated attack and defense simultaneously possessing bacteria-killing and bacteria-antifouling properties is a potential alternative in treating infected skin wound.
