Published: November 2022

Electrochemical activation of water (ECAW) is a topical method of reagent-free regulation of physicochemical parameters of aquatic food environments. The properties of solutions of macronutrients based in ECAW may differ from similar solutions on untreated water. In this work, the regularities of the interaction of the anodic and cathodic fractions of ECAW with protein molecules have been investigated. ECAW state and solutions are defined by anomalous physical chemical features (pH, redox potential) that provide ther biological activity. Solutions both low molecular and high molecular compounds prepared on the basis of ECAW can be distinguished from solutions prepared with non activated water. Applying spectral approaches (UV spectrometry, ToF – SIMS), it was shown that the analyzed mono product of protein nature (bovine serum albumin) and the complex food proteins (gelatin, casein) were modified in ECAW fractions. A number of data obtained allows us to suggest that funded effects may be provided with changes of structure in the protein and/ or its fragmentation. The shown results of the anolyte and catholyte impact on properties of bovine serum albumin confirm the perspective of the direct use of ECAW approach in the food industry for aim to improve the parameters of technological process. In the other words, electrochemical activation is the efficacious way to get acidic and alkalic solutions for replacing NaCl acid and sodium hydroxide in the industry of foodstuffs.
Characterization of Martensitic Transformation, Microstructure and a Kinetic Study of Ti-based High Temperature Shape Memory Alloy
Authors: BAĞ Öznur
Published: November 2022

High temperature shape memory alloys (HTSMAs) are widely used in many fiels such as industry, biomedical, aerospace, etc. In order to expand the usage areas of these alloys, it is necessary to improve the materials, especially the martensitic transformation temperatures should be controlled. Third elements are often added to the material to control the martensitic transformation temperature. Ti-12V-8Al (wt. %) alloy, which is prepared for use in aircraft engines in the aviation industry, is a good choice due to its low density. In this study, Ti-12V-8Al (wt. %) alloy was prepared with the help of arc-melting technique. The martensite-austenite transformation temperatures, phase formations, microstructure of Ti-12V-8Al (wt. %) alloy were examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and optical microscope (OM) respectively. In the DSC test, it was determined that the martensitic transformation temperature reduced according as the heating rate of the alloy. In XRD and SEM measurements, it was observed that the alloy has α″ martensitic phases as well as some β austenite phases. Thermal activation energies of the alloy were founded by Kissinger and Ozawa techniques. It was concluded that the activation energy amounts computed by these two techniques are parallel to each other.

Authors: AKPINAR Eşe
Published: November 2022

In this study, the structural and electronic properties of NaxSy (x+y=5) nanoclusters were investigated by density functional theory (DFT). Na-S is a material with potential in battery technologies. Therefore the smallest configurations of Na and S alloys are essential for applications in nanotechnology. Because electronic properties depend on the geometric structure, the minimum energy configurations were presented in detail. The most stable systems were determined as S5 and NaS4. The highest HLG value was obtained for the Na2S3 nanocluster. HLG values decrease with Na and S atom increase in bare clusters. Adding the S atoms to Na clusters or Na atoms to S clusters reduces the HLG values in general. Ionization potential and electron affinity values of clusters were also presented.

Aging effects on extrapersonal (far-space) attention: cancellation and line bisection performance from 179 healthy adults
Authors: Morse Helen , Jolly Amy A. , Browning Hannah , Clark Allan , Pomeroy Valerie , Rossit Stephanie
Published: November 2022

Assessment of cognitive impairments is a vital part of clinical practise. Cancellation (visual search) and line bisection are commonly used tasks to assess visuospatial attention. Despite the fact visuospatial attention is engaged in both near (within reach) and far-space (out of reach), most studies have been conducted in near-space alone. Moreover, despite their use in clinical practice, it is unclear whether cancellation and bisection tasks are related. Here, we investigated the impact of aging on cancellation and line bisection performance in far-space in a large healthy sample. We provide age-related norms for assessing visuospatial attention in far-space calculated from a sample of 179 healthy adults, between the ages of 18-94 (mean age = 49.29). Cancellation and bisection were presented on a large television screen in far-space and completed using a wireless remote. Aging was accompanied by longer task duration for both tasks, slower search speed, and poorer quality of search. However, there was no significant effect of aging on line bisection error. There was a significant correlation between the two tasks in that longer task duration in line bisection was associated with slower search speed and poorer quality of search. Overall, participants presented a leftward bias during cancellation and line bisection akin to pseudo-neglect. Moreover, we also found that irrespective of age, search speed was faster in males than females. We offer novel evidence that performance on cancellation and line bisection tasks are related to one another in far-space, but are also sensitive to age-related decline, and even sex differences.

The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between academic self-attributions and subclinical social anxiety in a sample of Spanish adolescents and examine statistically significant differences in academic self-attributions among subgroups of socially anxious youth. Random cluster sampling was conducted. The final sample consisted of 717 Spanish students enrolled in Secondary Education (51% girls) aged 14 to 17 years (M = 15.68, SD = 1.16). The Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A) and the Sydney Attribution Scale (SAS) were administered. Cluster analysis identified three clusters: (1) students with high social anxiety (n = 102) and high scores on fear of negative evaluation (FNE), anxiety toward strangers or new social situations (SAD-N), and anxiety in social situations in general (SAD-G); (2) students with moderate social anxiety (n = 290) and moderate scores on FNE, SAD-N, and SAD-G; and (3) students with low social anxiety (n = 325) and low scores on FNE, SAD-N, and SAD-G. Multivariate analyses (MANOVA) examined differences in the academic self-attributions across the three clusters of subclinical social anxiety, finding statistically significant differences in the six types of academic self-attributions (Wilks Lambda = .89, F(12,714) = 7.11, p < .001, η2 = .06), including success attributed to ability, success attributed to effort, success attributed to external causes, failure attributed to ability, failure attributed to effort, and failure attributed to external causes. The implications of these findings for Psychology and Education professionals are discussed.

Published: November 2022

Critical qualitative health researchers typically occupy and navigate liminal academic spaces and statuses, with one foot planted in the arts and social sciences and the other in biomedical science. We are at once marginalized and empowered, and this liminality presents both challenges and opportunities. In this article, we draw on our experiences of being (often the lone) critical qualitative health scholars on thesis advisory committees and dissertation examinations, as well as our experiences of publishing and securing funding, to illuminate how power and knowledge relations create conditions that shape the nature of our roles. We share strategies we have developed for standing our theoretical and methodological ground. We discuss how we use the power of our liminality to hold firm, push back, and push forward, to ensure that critical qualitative research is not further relegated to the margins and its quality and integrity sustained.

Authors: Qin Rui , Tian Gengren , Liu Junbao , Cao Lu
Published: November 2022

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease, that often leads to pain and infertility. At present, the specific pathogenesis of endometriosis has not been clarified, but it may be closely related to an imbalance of sex hormones in the body, ectopic hyperplasia stimulated by immune inflammation, and invasion and escape based on tumor characteristics. Gut microbiota is associated with many inflammatory diseases. With the further study of the gut microbiota, people are paying increasing attention to its relationship with endometriosis. Studies have shown that there is an association between the gut microbiota and endometriosis. The specific ways and mechanisms by which the gut microbiota participates in endometriosis may involve estrogen, immune inflammation, and tumor characteristics, among others. Therefore, in the future, regulating gut microbiota disorders in various ways can help in the treatment of endometriosis patients. This study reviewed the research on the gut microbiota and endometriosis in order to provide ideas for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Applications of machine learning in metabolomics: Disease modeling and classification
Authors: Galal Aya , Talal Marwa , Moustafa Ahmed
Published: November 2022

Metabolomics research has recently gained popularity because it enables the study of biological traits at the biochemical level and, as a result, can directly reveal what occurs in a cell or a tissue based on health or disease status, complementing other omics such as genomics and transcriptomics. Like other high-throughput biological experiments, metabolomics produces vast volumes of complex data. The application of machine learning (ML) to analyze data, recognize patterns, and build models is expanding across multiple fields. In the same way, ML methods are utilized for the classification, regression, or clustering of highly complex metabolomic data. This review discusses how disease modeling and diagnosis can be enhanced via deep and comprehensive metabolomic profiling using ML. We discuss the general layout of a metabolic workflow and the fundamental ML techniques used to analyze metabolomic data, including support vector machines (SVM), decision trees, random forests (RF), neural networks (NN), and deep learning (DL). Finally, we present the advantages and disadvantages of various ML methods and provide suggestions for different metabolic data analysis scenarios.

Published: November 2022

Sepsis is a highly heterogeneous disease and a major factor in increasing mortality from infection. N7-Methylguanosine (m7G) is a widely RNA modification in eukaryotes, which involved in regulation of different biological processes. Researchers have found that m7G methylation contributes to a variety of human diseases, but its research in sepsis is still limited. Here, we aim to establish the molecular classification of m7G gene-related sepsis, reveal its heterogeneity and explore the underlying mechanism. We first identified eight m7G related prognostic genes, and identified two different molecular subtypes of sepsis through Consensus Clustering. Among them, the prognosis of C2 subtype is worse than that of C1 subtype. The signal pathways enriched by the two subtypes were analyzed by ssGSEA, and the results showed that the amino acid metabolism activity of C2 subtype was more active than that of C1 subtype. In addition, the difference of immune microenvironment among different subtypes was explored through CIBERSORT algorithm, and the results showed that the contents of macrophages M0 and NK cells activated were significantly increased in C2 subtype, while the content of NK cells resting decreased significantly in C2 subtype. We further explored the relationship between immune regulatory genes and inflammation related genes between C2 subtype and C1 subtype, and found that C2 subtype showed higher expression of immune regulatory genes and inflammation related genes. Finally, we screened the key genes in sepsis by WGCNA analysis, namely NUDT4 and PARN, and verified their expression patterns in sepsis in the datasets GSE131761 and GSE65682. The RT-PCR test further confirmed the increased expression of NUDTA4 in sepsis patients. In conclusion, sepsis clustering based on eight m7G-related genes can well distinguish the heterogeneity of sepsis patients and help guide the personalized treatment of sepsis patients.
MYCN mRNA degradation and cancer suppression by a selective small-molecule inhibitor in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma
Authors: Liu Tao , Gu Lubing , Wu Zhongzhi , Albadari Najah , Li Wei , Zhou Muxiang
Published: November 2022

Amplification of the MYCN gene leads to its overexpression at both the mRNA and protein levels. Overexpression of MYCN mRNA may also have an important role in promoting neuroblastoma (NB) beyond the translation of MYCN protein. In the present study, we report a small molecule compound (MX25-1) that was able to bind to the 3’UTR of MYCN mRNA and induce MYCN mRNA degradation; this resulted in potent cell-growth inhibition and cell death specifically in MYCN-amplified or MYCN 3’UTR overexpressing NB cells. To evaluate the role of MYCN 3’UTR-mediated signals in contributing to the anticancer activity of MX25-1, we examined the status and activation of the tumor suppressor microRNA (miRNA) let-7, which is a target of MYCN 3’UTR in MYCN-amplified NB. We first observed that overexpression of MYCN mRNA was associated with high-level expression of the let-7 oncogenic targets DICER1, ARID3B and HMGA2. Following MYCN mRNA degradation, the expression of DICER1, ARID3B and HMGA2 was downregulated in MX25-1-treated cells. Inhibition of let-7 reversed the downregulation of these oncogenic mRNAs and significantly increased resistance of NB cells to MX25-1. Our results from this study supported the notion that overexpression of MYCN mRNA due to gene amplification has an independent function in NB cell growth and disease progression and suggest that targeting MYCN mRNA may represent an attractive strategy for therapy of MYCN amplified NB, both by inhibiting MYCN’s cell-survival effects and activating the tumor-suppressor effect of let-7.

Published: November 2022

Introduction

The aim of this study is to conduct a meta-analysis to assess the efficacy of yttrium-90 selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) in treating patients with breast cancer with hepatic metastasis.

Method

PubMed and The Cochrane Library were queried from establishment to January 2021. The following keywords were implemented: “breast”, “yttrium”, and “radioembolization”. The following variables and outcomes were collected: publication year, region, sample size, study design, presence of extrahepatic disease, tumor burden, infused radioactivity, breast cancer subtype, previous treatment, median survival time (MST), length of follow-up, adverse events, and radiographical response such as Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), modified RECIST (mRECIST), and Positron Emission Tomography Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST).

Results

A total of 24 studies from 14 institutions were included in the present meta-analysis. On the basis of the data from 412 patients, post-embolization MST was 9.8 [95% confidence interval (CI): 9.0–11.6] months. Patients with additional extrahepatic metastasis had a poorer survival rate compared with those with localized hepatic metastasis only (MST: 5.3 vs. 15 months, p < 0.0001). Patients with <25% liver tumor burden exhibited more promising survival than those with >25% (MST: 10.5 vs. 6.8 months, p < 0.0139). On the basis of RECIST, mRECIST, and PERCIST criteria, tumor response rate was 36% (95% CI: 26%–47%), 49% (95% CI: 34%–65%), and 47% (95% CI: 17%–78%), respectively, whereas tumor control rate was 85% (95% CI: 76%–93%), 73% (95% CI: 59%–85%), and 97% (95% CI: 91%–100%), respectively.

Conclusion

On the basis of the available published evidence, SIRT is feasible and effective in treating patients with breast cancer with liver metastasis. Patients with lower hepatic tumor burden and without extrahepatic metastasis demonstrated more survival benefit. Future randomized controlled trials are warranted.

Published: November 2022

Introduction

A deeper understanding of intratumoral heterogeneity is essential for prognosis prediction or accurate treatment plan decisions in clinical practice. However, due to the cross-links and degradation of biomolecules within formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens, it is challenging to analyze them. In this study, we aimed to optimize the simultaneous extraction of mRNA and DNA from microdissected FFPE tissues (φ = 100 µm) and apply the method to analyze tumor diversity in lung adenocarcinoma before and after erlotinib administration.

Method

Two magnetic beads were used for the simultaneous extraction of mRNA and DNA. The decross-linking conditions were evaluated for gene mutation and gene expression analyses of microdissected FFPE tissues. Lung lymph nodes before treatment and lung adenocarcinoma after erlotinib administration were collected from the same patient and were preserved as FFPE specimens for 4 years. Gene expression and gene mutations between histologically classified regions of lung adenocarcinoma (pre-treatment tumor in lung lymph node biopsies and post-treatment tumor, normal lung, tumor stroma, and remission stroma, in resected lung tissue) were compared in a microdissection-based approach.

Results

Using the optimized simultaneous extraction of DNA and mRNA and whole-genome amplification, we detected approximately 4,000–10,000 expressed genes and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) driver gene mutations from microdissected FFPE tissues. We found the differences in the highly expressed cancer-associated genes and the positive rate of EGFR exon 19 deletions among the tumor before and after treatment and tumor stroma, even though they were collected from tumors of the same patient or close regions of the same specimen.

Conclusion

Our integrated spatial analysis method would be applied to various FFPE pathology specimens providing area-specific gene expression and gene mutation information.
Across-language masculinity of oceans and femininity of guitars: Exploring grammatical gender universalities
Authors: Dubenko Elena
Published: November 2022

This is the first cross-language study to reveal nouns with invariable masculine or feminine grammatical gender assignments in nine gendered languages from different groups of one linguistic family. It evidences that many cases of gender universality have semantic motivation-an entity’s grammatical gender correlates with either traditional masculine/feminine connotations, or cultural and symbolic implications. The study’s findings also testify thematic preferences: most masculine grammatical gender universalities are found for the nouns denoting artifacts, whereas most feminine universalities are identified for abstract concepts. The apparent existence of grammatical gender universalities has a cognitive significance. From a psycholinguistic perspective, grammatical gender is viewed as a built-in personification pattern for speakers’ mental representations. This research presents cross-linguistic constants in conceptualizing the natural kinds, artifacts, and abstract concepts denoted by the considered nouns, as “male” or “female”.

Published: November 2022

Objectives

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major public health issue worldwide, which is preventable through physical activity (PA) promotion and sedentary behavior (SB) reduction. However, the joint association of PA and SB with MetS was not well-investigated, particularly in elderly people. This study aimed to examine separate and joint associations of PA and SB with MetS among elderly urban men in China.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study conducted in mid-2018, participants were urban men aged 60+ years randomly selected from in Nanjing of China. Exposure variables were PA and SB. The outcome variable was MetS. A participant was categorized as “having MetS” or “not having MetS” in the analysis. Independent variables were PA and SB, which were categorized as “sufficient PA or insufficient PA” and “shortened SB or prolonged SB”, respectively. Mixed-effects logistics regression models were applied to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the association of PA and SB with MetS.

Results

Totally, 5,520 from 5,792 eligible participants were randomly recruited and their mean age was 68.9 (standard deviation: 16.9) years. The prevalence of MetS was 30.8% (95%CI = 29.6%, 32.0%) among urban men aged 60+ years in the study. After adjustment for potential confounders, subjects with sufficient PA were less likely (OR = 0.77, 95%CI = 0.67, 0.88) to experience MetS, independently of SB, relative to their counterparts with insufficient PA, while a lower odds (OR = 0.74; 95%CI = 0.61, 0.89) of experiencing MetS was examined for participants with shortened SB, also independently of PA, compared to those with prolonged SB in the study. Furthermore, compared to participants with insufficient PA and prolonged SB, those either within categories of insufficient PA and shortened SB (OR = 0.81; 95%CI = 0.65, 0.99), sufficient PA and prolonged SB (OR = 0.80; 95%CI = 0.70, 0.92), or sufficient PA and shortened SB (OR = 0.41; 95%CI = 0.26, 0.63) were at significantly lower risk to experience MetS, respectively.

Conclusions

PA was negatively associated with MetS, and SB was positively linked to MetS, which were independent of each other. Moreover, sufficient PA and shortened SB might exert additively joint influence on MetS. This study has important implications that concurrent PA promotion and SB reduction shall be encouraged for people to optimize the effectiveness of MetS prevention.

Modification of the petrophysical properties of artificially consolidated core samples with supercritical CO2 treatment
Authors: Varga Gyula , Pintér-Móricz Ákos , Zákányiné Mészáros Renáta
Published: November 2022

During the evaluation of certain hydrocarbon fields, for the petroleum engineering tests, natural rock core samples are needed. If there is a shortage of such samples, preparation and development of artificially consolidated rock samples become necessary. These samples can be made of different compositions and by using different technologies. The used model materials can play a role in the exploitation of petroleum and natural gas, and they can also promote the development, selection or application of secondary or tertiary technologies in conventional and non-conventional reservoirs. The process developed and used by us makes it available to construct these rock samples from different raw materials, under different pressure and temperature conditions and by using different post-treatment methods. In this paper, the changes of petrophysical parameters (porosity, permeability) originating from a CO2-rich environment ensured by a post-treatment (cure) were analyzed. The authors proposed further investigations of additional important parameters – zeta-potential, wettability – which could alter during different preparation methods of artificially consolidated rock samples, and by this, they could also enhance the research of geological storage of CO2 and EOR technologies.

En enero de 2019, las autoridades incrementaron el salario mínimo y redujeron la tasa del impuesto al valor agregado (IVA) en la frontera norte de México con el objetivo de estimular la actividad económica. En este documento se estiman los efectos en los precios al consumidor de cada una de las políticas. Se encuentra que las presiones al alza sobre los precios atribuibles al aumento del salario mínimo fueron más que contrarrestadas por las presiones a la baja asociadas a la reducción del IVA. En ausencia de la política de reducción al IVA, los precios promedio en la frontera norte habrían sido más altos. Se estima que los efectos del salario mínimo sobre los precios tendieron a ser menores para aquellos bienes o servicios producidos con una mayor proporción de trabajo informal.
Arithmetic of binary equivalents of decimal numbers
Authors: Spiridonov Iouri
Published: November 2022

Within the framework of the concept of decimal calculations proposed in the article using binary arithmetic, a theory of binary equivalents of decimal floating-point numbers has been developed. According to this theory, basic decimal arithmetic operations on finite decimal numbers are performed with decimal precision by a binary processor according to the rules of binary arithmetic on the binary equivalents of decimal numbers. These calculation results are entirely consistent with the classical decimal finite number arithmetic and do not require the use of test programs. The identity of calculation results in decimal and binary equivalent arithmetics guarantees the repeatability of results on any platform. The article shows that implementing binary equivalents arithmetic with an acceptable decimal calculation error requires significantly fewer bits of binary processor registers than in modern computers. Because of the uniqueness of binary decimal equivalents, the difference between equal, properly rounded binary decimal equivalents is strictly zero. The presence of an explicit zero in the arithmetic of binary equivalents of decimal numbers makes it possible to implement a bitwise comparison of such numbers and introduce the concept of an infinitesimal number when the significand of a floating-point number is equal to zero.

В октябре 1924 г. в Саратове в целях рационального использования свободных земель, потребностей мелиорации и централизованного подхода в колонизации свободных земель была образована Поволжская колонизационно-мелиоративная экспедиция. Ее деятельность распространялась в Самарской, Саратовской, Царицынской и Астраханской губерниях, в том числе и в кочевом регионе – Калмыцкой автономной области. Перспективы переселения крестьян из других территорий страны в КАО и проведение земельной реформы оценивались комиссией как более сложные в силу довольно многочисленного кочевого населения с низкой обеспеченностью воды. При этом признавалось неизменное первостепенное значение развития скотоводства в экономике этого степного региона.

Desa Cikande merupakan salah satu Desa yang berada di daerah Banten. Salah satu isu yang menjadi sorotan di Desa ini adalah pada bidang pendidikan, secara khusus pada kemampuan literasi. Kesibukan orang tua untuk mencari nafkah dan memenuhi kondisi ekonomi keluarga menyebabkan mereka tidak dapat menemani dan mendukung anak-anaknya untuk mendapatkan pendidikan yang layak. Hal tersebut juga diperparah dengan kondisi bahwa mayoritas anak usia 5-7 tahun di Desa tersebut masih belum dapat membaca dan menulis dengan lancar. Maka dari itu, salah satu cara yang menarik untuk anak-anak dapat meningkatkan kemampuan mereka dalam bidang literasi ini adalah melalui salah satu metode belajar yaitu membaca nyaring. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan minat anak-anak dalam membaca buku dan terbiasa untuk mau membaca buku. Metode pelaksanaan yang digunakan adalah melalui kegiatan bimbingan belajar yang menerapkan teknik membaca nyaring terhadap anak-anak. Metode membaca nyaring merupakan salah satu metode membacakan buku yang disampaikan melalui suara dengan memperhatikan pula pola kalimat, intonasi, pengucapan, kelancaran, dan kenyaringan bersuara. Untuk dapat menarik jumlah partisipan yang cukup dan membagikan informasi mengenai kegiatan ini, tim bekerjasama pula dengan TK Tiara Veritas Cikande sebagai mitra yang bekerjasama dengan UPH sejak 2019. Kegiatan bimbel dengan metode membaca nyaring ini dilakukan sebanyak tiga kali. Hasil pelaksanaan kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa anak-anak sebagai target partisipan memiliki respon yang baik ketika mendengarkan cerita dari guru maupun mahasiswa pendamping, serta membantu mereka pula untuk mengembangkan kosakata dan bahasa, serta pada akhirnya anak-anak dapat memiliki ketertarikan dalam membaca dan menerapkan kebiasaan membaca tersebut dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.
