Published: November 2024

Durante su existencia el ser humano tiene que afrontar diversos escenarios en salud que afectan su vida desde complicaciones severas hasta las consecuencias másgraves como la muerte;sin embargo, existen una serie de enfermedades que pueden ser prevenibles, para ello, se requiere de conocimiento acerca de los determinantes sociales que pueden generar riesgo de daño ala salud y,por supuesto,la forma de mitigarlospara evitar su aparición o detener su progreso (1).En este contexto,la prestación de los servicios de saluddebe llevarsea cabo de manera efectiva con el fin de lograrlos cometidos planteados, por ello, es fundamental que los profesionales de estas áreaspuedan identificar las necesidades de sus pacientes para la prevención de enfermedades y la promoción de la salud, es decir, ir más allá de la enfermedad y la forma cómo tratarla (2). La calidad de la relación médico-paciente es un determinante importante de si se cumplirán o no las expectativas de los pacientes y se lograrán resultados de salud favorables. (3), todo ello, en búsqueda de favorecer el bienestar físico, mental y social, necesarios para la consecución del desarrollo humano, garantizando de esta manera la protección de la salud de todos.Entonces la medicina familiar cobra relevancia en este aspecto, pues susprofesionales se forman para prestar una Atención Primaria en Salud(APS) que “se concibe como una estrategia integral que se desarrolla de acuerdo con el contexto político, económico y social del país, centrada en los individuos, las familias y las comunidades, a quienes se hace partícipes de las decisiones relativas al mantenimiento, mejoramiento y recuperación de la salud a lo largo de la vida” (4).
Ante este escenario es pertinente preguntarse si realmente el médico familiar desempeña efectivamente su rol para el beneficio de la comunidad o si solo es un concepto general que se encuentra ajeno a la realidad de esta práctica médica. De lo anterior parte la esencia de este artículo de reflexión, puesto que el médico familiar debe adentrarse en las comunidades para identificar problemáticas que se presentan en el entorno comunitario, entre ellas las desigualdades sociales como determinantes para el acceso a la salud y la calidad de vida.
I DOLORI DEL GIOVANE SERBOFONO ALLE PRESE CON I TEMPI VERBALI ITALIANI

La presente ricerca si pone il compito di illustrare i percorsi di strutturazione del testo narrativo italiano nelle traduzioni dal serbo. Nella transizione dal testo serbo a quello italiano è necessario optare per uno dei tre approcci espositivi attuati in italiano: descrizione vs narrazione, distanziamento e oggettività vs coinvolgimento e soggettività, primo piano vs secondo piano. Mentre nel testo narrativo italiano queste opposizioni si esplicano mediante l’uso di quattro tempi del passato e del presente, il serbo dispone del presente e di un unico tempo passato in uso effettivo e non è in grado di segnalare o riprodurre le opposizioni testuali innescate dai tempi italiani. Per chi è alle prime armi con lo studio dell’italiano, l’asimmetria tra le due lingue genera incoerenze nella produzione in italiano. La presente ricerca è stata condotta su un testo di Andrić, tradotto quattro volte in italiano; l’obiettivo è di segnalare l’esistenza di differenti percorsi di strutturazione del testo applicati dai traduttori, costretti a basarsi su valutazioni personali per distinguere le suddette opposizioni testuali, assenti nel serbo ma indispensabili per il testo italiano.

Authors: Rahman Muhammad Nurhadi , Liligoly Rivaldi D , Pangastuti Nuring
Published: November 2024

Premature rupture of membrane (PROM) and preterm PROM (PPROM) are commonly related with poor maternal and perinatal outcomes. Urinary tract infection (UTI) has been known as one of its risk factors. The aim of study was to ascertain the frequency and pattern of urinary symptoms as well as the risk factors for UTI in PROM and PPROM. A retrospective study was conducted at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. All pregnancy cases with the history of PROM/PPROM from January to December 2015 were included. The research subjects were obtained from medical records, using the format of basic data collection to identify the risk factors of UTI in pregnancy. One hundred cases of complicated pregnancy with either PROM or PPROM were obtained. The mean of maternal age, gestational age, and birth weight were 28 ± 5.99 yr; 34.05 ± 4:28 wk; 2170.79 ± 835.447 g; respectively. Urinalysis was done in 58 patients. The prevalence of bacteriuria was 55.17%. Symptomatic vs. asymptomatic bacteriuria showed statistically significant differences (p

Depuis 1940, de nombreuses tentatives ont été faites pour introduire des truites arc-en-ciel de Madagascar dans les rivières de l'île de la Réunion.Les œufs fécondés sont fournis par Madagascar, mais le taux de réussite est assez modeste. Pour l'améliorer, il faut utiliser des « boîtes Vibert », mais la dépendance vis-à-vis du monde extérieur reste un facteur limitant de l'élevage de la truite.Les principaux aspects de l'acclimatation des truites étant maîtrisés, l'auteur indique qu'il y a deux alternatives possibles :Rester dépendant de Madagascar, en apportant des œufs fécondés, limitant ainsi la production annuelle à 2.000 ou 3.000 truites.Créer une écloserie locale, qui pourrait répondre aux désirs de certains promoteurs privés et ainsi construire une industrie productive d'élevage de truites.

Authors: Oliveira Danielle Teixeira de , Silva Patrícia Nascimento
Published: November 2024

Introdução: O desenvolvimento tecnológico da sociedade ao longo das últimas décadas permitiu uma maior interação e transparência entre o governo e a sociedade, por meio da consolidação das iniciativas de governo aberto. Nesse contexto, surgiram os Dados Governamentais Abertos (DGA), que são informações do setor público, disponibilizadas em formatos reutilizáveis para livre acesso e utilização. Contudo, para este novo cenário os dados precisam ser representados, organizados, tratados e recuperados, o que atribui relação direta com os conceitos e técnicas da Ciência da Informação (CI). Objetivo: Investigar a produção acadêmica sobre a representação e recuperação dos DGA na CI. Metodologia: Pesquisa de natureza exploratória e descritiva por meio de uma revisão de literatura. O protocolo da revisão foi criado com base na literatura e executado entre julho e agosto de 2023. Resultados: Foram selecionados 40 documentos nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol para análise de conteúdo. Foram identificadas sete categorias de análise, documentos publicados entre 2011 e 2023, a maioria no idioma inglês e classificados como artigos de pesquisa. Dos 40 documentos analisados, 23 abordaram a representação de DGA, sete abordaram a recuperação e 10 abordaram ambos os temas que foram subdivididos em sete temáticas. Conclusão: Diante das abordagens variadas sobre DGA encontradas na literatura, nota-se que poucos estudos focam especificamente nos aspectos de recuperação da informação, sem um foco principal, com apresentação de alguns métodos e técnicas de recuperação de informação no contexto de DGA.

Published: November 2024

An analysis is made of the motion of a particle on a rotating disk equipped with rectilinear blades for different types of particle collisions with a blade. The dynamics of particle motion is considered using equations describing the dynamics of the relative motion of a particle and is studied for the cases of inelastic and elastic interaction with the blade when the coefficient of friction of the particle against the disk has a value that is the most probable from a practical point of view. The impact interaction of the particle with the blade is studied using the Routh hypothesis, which relates the normal and tangential components of the impact impulse by a dependence similar to the Amonton – Coulomb dependence between the normal and tangential components of the interaction force of two rough bodies. The dynamical coefficient of impact friction is taken to be equal to half the kinematic coefficient of friction of the particle against the disk. After an impact, depending on the values of the above-mentioned coefficients and the angle of inclination of the blade, the particle may or may not possess a velocity component tangential and (or) normal to the surface of the blade. In addition, depending on the overall dimensions of the disk and the inclination angle of the blade the moving particle can repeatedly enter into impact interaction with the blade. In this paper we consider all four patterns of motion of the particle after its first and subsequent impacts against the blade of the rotating disk, present graphs of time dependences of the projections of the velocity of the relative motion of the particle, and plot trajectories of the relative motion of the particle for two practically important cases of installation of a blade on the disk’s surface which ensure the initial collision angles equal to 0${}^{\circ}$ and 30${}^{\circ}$. The proposed model is also used to investigate the changes in the antitorque moment acting on the disk. For this purpose, in each of the cases we calculate the resulting moment of impact impulse and the impulse of friction torque throughout the motion of
A NEW HOMOLOGOUS SERIES OF HOPANOIDS (hydrocarbon biomarkers) IN OILS AND NATURAL BITUMENS OF THE NORTHEASTERN SLOPE OF THE ALDAN ANTECLISE
Authors: Kashirtsev V.A. , Zueva I.N. , Chalaya O.N.
Published: November 2024

Oil and bitumen shows with previously unknown hydrocarbon biomarkers – 9-­methyl, 8-14-secohopanes – were encountered in the sections of hydrogeological wells on the northeastern slope of the Aldan anteclise. Shows of biodegraded asphaltites are confined to the cavernous horizon in the middle Cambrian limestones of the Tankhai Formation. The relatively high residual concentrations of the “new” biomarkers are due to their very high resistance to biologic oxidation processes. Geologic materials and geochemical data on the studied naphthides suggest that in the region under consideration there is a typical oil deposit sealed in the “head” of the cavernous horizon by highly viscous bitumens.
J. A. Barash. The History between Science and Art: Wilhelm Windelband and the Dilemma of the Neo-Kantian Theory of History
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Machulskaya Olga
Published: November 2024

This article examines the concept of substantiating the theory of history as a science, undertaken in the second half of the 19th century by representative of the Southwestern school of neo-Kantianism, W. Windelband, who creatively interprets Kant’s legacy. The founder of critical philosophy, Kant, gave scientific status only to various areas of natural science. From the point of view of the Koenigsberg thinker, the field of studying social events, culture and human life cannot be considered a science in the strict sense of the word, since it is limited to the description of social phenomena, and not the construction of laws that explain these processes. The law must correspond to the principle of universality, that is, it must have the ability to organize experience through a universal pure form, and not stem from experience. Windelband proposes to revise Kant’s teachings and develops his own concept of history. He introduces into the theory of knowledge, in addition to nomothetic concepts leading to the discovery of universal laws, ideographic concepts through which the history of cultures and worldviews of individual people are described with their personal ideas about values that are objectified in history. Thus, Windelband formulates a special scientific method for explaining causality in the interpretation of historical events, without resorting to the construction of universal laws. Explaining history using ideographic concepts allows us to rethink the very idea of science in relation to the sphere of freedom in which each person is a unique individual who creates values.
Philosophy of History and Its Theological Premises in the Philosophy of N.A. Berdyaev
Authors:   School of Philosophy and Cultural Studies, Faculty of Humanities. HSE University, Platanova Anna ,   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation
Published: November 2024

The category of the meaning of history has long existed in European philosophy as one of its fundamental themes, which has undergone many collisions during its development. The last century has been marked by a radical revision of approaches to this theme both in the philosophy of history and in the tradition of intellectual history. In the twentieth century, Kant’s historical criticism was taken by German thought to its logical conclusion in such a way that the assertion of the meaning of history has actually suffered a fiasco in the field of rationalist philosophy. The purpose of this article is to attempt to show how the Russian philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev, witnessing the spiritual and political crisis of European and Russian culture, seeks a solution to this problem within the philosophy of history, reformulating the problem of the meaning of history in a metaphysical way. To do this, he investigates theologically the foundations on which the historiosophic projects of the New Age are built, and tries to resolve the contradictions in the understanding of Christian revelation that are revealed in them. Returning the question of the meaning of history to its theological source allows Berdyaev to reconcile the contradictory hopes of philosophers of history for the realization of the personal freedom of its subjects with the existence of a universally meaningful sense in it.
The Ideological Foundations of the “Orthodox Intelligentsia” Project by N.A. Berdyaev
Authors:   School of Philosophy and Cultural Studies. International Laboratory for the Study of Russian and EuropeanIntellectual Dialogue. HSE-University, Zhukova Alina
Published: November 2024

This article is devoted to the “Orthodox intelligentsia” project by N.A. Berdyaev. The question of the possibility of its existence was raised by Berdyaev in the article “Does Freedom of Thought and Conscience Exist in Orthodoxy?” (1939), published in defense of G.P. Fedotov in the situation of his conflict with the St. Sergius Institute. The aim of the paper is to identify what ideological foundations underlie Berdyaev’s project of a new spirituality, the bearer of which should be the intelligentsia. The author of the paper applies the methodology of intellectual history, which allows considering Berdyaev’s “Orthodox intelligentsia” project as a way of substantiating the creative meaning of Orthodoxy and the need to reform the church community on a different meaning of sobornost, which should include the values of Christian humanism. The article examines Berdyaev’s historiosophic arguments that allow him to affirm the spiritual and cultural significance of the phenomenon of the intelligentsia as the true bearer of humanized creative Orthodoxy. The author concludes that Berdyaev brings the idea of creativity in Christ closer to the cultural tasks of the intelligentsia and insists that an Orthodox intelligentsia is possible only through an inner spiritual reform of Orthodoxy as a religious tradition and the church as a social institution.
The Great Russian Revolution and Socialism in the Works of N.A. Berdyaev and B.V. Yakovenko of the Mid-1910s–1920s
Authors:   National Research University “Higher School of Economics”, Pilnov Ilya
Published: November 2024

This article attempts a comparative analysis of the problems of revolution and socialism in the philosophical work of Nikolai Berdyaev and Boris Yakovenko. The author aims to compare the key philosophical and political concepts of the two thinkers to identify the commonalities and differences in their views. The subject of consideration are the works of Berdyaev and Yakovenko of the period of the mid-1910s – 1920s. The article shows that from the historical-philosophical point of view it is this period of work of both thinkers that provides the basis for a comparative analysis of their revolutionary analytics. After writing “The History of the Great Russian Revolution” Yakovenko did not return to the comprehension of the event of the revolution in Russia, while Berdyaev after 1924 begins to use other approaches in the discussion of philosophical-historical and socio-political problems. The closeness of the positions of the two philosophers is manifested in the similarity of their conceptual apparatus, while the differences are in the initial philosophical intuitions and metaphysical views that define their philosophical horizon. The article concludes that Berdyaev and Yakovenko have a certain convergence of views, discussing the question of freedom and various forms of unfreedom, viewing it through the prism of the philosophical and political program of socialism and the events of the revolution and revealing their religious and spiritual nature.
The Embodiment of the Idea of the “Golden Mean” in the Aesthetics of Confucius
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Panli Chen , Kostikova Anna ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: November 2024

This article examines the aesthetic ideas associated with the concept of zhong yong zhi dao 中庸 之道 (“golden mean”) by Confucius. Particular attention is paid to the following provisions of Confucian aesthetics: wen zhi bingbin 文质彬彬 “appearance and essence are equally perfect”, le er bu yin, ai er bu shang 乐而不淫，哀而不伤 “being joyful is not obscene; being sad does not hurt”, jin shan jin mei 尽善尽美 “quite beautiful and quite moral”. The author comes to the conclusion that Confucian aesthetics expresses the idea of zhonghe zhi mei 中和之美 “the beauty of middle harmony”, embodying the ancient Chinese thought of “the balance of yin and yang”. Confucius advocated the equality of wen “appearance” and zhi “essence”, which should complement each other and correspond to the principle of the “golden mean”. The philosopher praised the music of 關雎Guan Ju (“Meeting the Bride”), claiming that it was “cheerful but not obscene, sad but not hurtful” and believed that sadness and joy generate each other and adapt to each other. Confucius clearly distinguished beauty from goodness, and the combination of beauty and goodness that he adheres to is actually based on the reverence of morality.
From Brentano to Wittgenstein: What Forced Rush Rhees to Quit His Study of the Continuum?
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Zolotkov Grigory ,   National Research University “Higher School of Economics”
Published: November 2024

This paper discusses the reasons for Rush Rhees’ sudden cancellation of his study of the phenomenon of continuity. Before he became a follower of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Rhees studied the philosophy of Franz Brentano. In his unfinished PhD, Rhees developed Brentano’s phenomenological interpretation of continuity, more specifically, his theory of “plerosis”. Nevertheless, after Rhees aborted his work on continuum, he never returned to it or to Brentano’s philosophy. One of the last events leading up to this ending was the conversation between Rhees and Wittgenstein, which took place in 1938. The author of the article discusses the extent to which Wittgenstein’s reflections may have influenced Rhees’ rejection of Brentano’s philosophical approach and contributed to a fundamental rethinking of his earlier position. The hypothesis of the work is that Wittgenstein’s philosophy caused Rhees to become disillusioned with the phenomenological approach and the traditional way of posing philosophical problems

Resilience to Abrupt Global Catastrophic Risks Disrupting Trade: Combining Urban and Near-Urban Agriculture in a Quantified Case Study of a Globally Median-Sized City
Authors: Boyd Matt , Wilson Nick
Published: November 2024

Background
Abrupt global catastrophic risks (GCRs) are not improbable and could massively disrupt global trade leading to shortages of critical commodities, such as liquid fuels, upon which industrial food production, processing and distribution depends. Previous studies have suggested urban agriculture as a resilience measure in the context of climate change and other natural hazards.
Aims
To estimate the contribution a radical pivot to urban agriculture could have in building resilience to GCRs and the near-urban industrial agriculture needed to supplement urban food production.
Methods
We determined optimum crops by food calorie and protein per area for urban and near-urban agriculture. We calculated the land area available for food production within a temperate globally median-sized city using Google Earth image analysis of residential lots and open city spaces. We calculated the population that could be fed through urban agriculture alone, and the extra near-urban land required for cropping with industrial agriculture to feed the remaining city population, under both normal climate, and potential nuclear winter conditions.
Results
Peas (normal climate), and sugar beet/spinach (nuclear winter) were the optimal crops for urban agriculture, with potatoes (normal climate), and wheat/carrots (nuclear winter) optimal for industrial near-urban production. Urban agriculture could feed 20.4% of the population. At least 1140 hectares of near-urban cultivation could make up the shortfall. Another 110 hectares of biofuel feedstock like canola (rapeseed) could provide biodiesel to run agricultural machinery without fuel trade. Significantly more cultivated area is needed in nuclear winter scenarios due to reduced yields.
Conclusion
Relatively little optimized near-urban industrial agriculture, along with intensified urban agriculture could feed a median-sized city in a GCR, while minimizing fuel requirements. Governments and municipal authorities could consider land use policy that encourages development of urban agriculture and near-urban cultivation of optimal crops, along with processing and local biofuel refining capacity.
Using additive manufacturing to transition away from OEM-repaired failures: a protection-level preservation constrained life-cycle cost model
Authors: Chen Shao-Peng , Sandborn Peter , Rovere Tom
Published: November 2024

Additive manufacturing (AM) provides many potential benefits over conventional manufacturing (CM) for critical systems. This paper is focused on quantifying the value of the possible time savings associated with AM when supporting a fleet of critical systems. The model developed in this paper focuses on systems that currently use CM and need to be returned to their original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for repair when they fail; AM allows some failures to be resolved without requiring return to the OEM and thereby reduces the spare resupply time. The model monetizes the cost avoidance associated with using AM parts based on a constraint that the protection level provided by a spare subsystem inventory for a fleet utilizing conventional manufacturing (CM) parts equals that of a fleet employing AM parts. Protection level is the probability that at least one spare will be available in the inventory all the time. Models for single-echelon and multi-echelon sparing are developed. A case study of an Electronic Support Measures (ESM) system used in helicopter fleets deployed on aircraft carriers is provided. The results of the case study demonstrate that although manufacturing costs are larger when using AM parts, the life-cycle cost for a fleet of systems can be substantially less due to decreases in failure resolution times enabled by AM part repairs in the field.
Isoaspartate formation and irreversible aggregation of collapsin response mediator protein 2: implications for the etiology of epilepsy and age-related cognitive decline
Authors: Zhu Jeff X. , Aswad Dana W.
Published: November 2024

Collapsin response mediator protein 2 (CRMP2) functions in the genesis and activity of neuronal connections in mammalian brain. We previously reported that a protein coincident with CRMP2 on 2D-gels undergoes marked accumulation of abnormal L-isoaspartyl sites in brain extracts of mice missing the repair enzyme, protein L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase (PIMT). To confirm and explore the significance of isoaspartyl damage in CRMP2, we expressed and purified recombinant mouse CRMP2 (rCRMP2). A polyclonal antibody made against the recombinant protein precipitated CRMP2 from brain extracts of PIMT-KO mice, but not from WT mice, suggesting that (1) the rCRMP2 antigen underwent significant isoAsp formation in the process of antibody production and (2) the isoAsp form of CRMP2 is considerably more immunogenic than the native protein. In vitro aging of rCRMP2 at pH 7.4, 37°C for 0–28 days led to robust accumulation of isoAsp sites that were repairable by PIMT, and also induced a progressive accumulation of apparent dimers and higher-mass oligomers as judged by SDS-PAGE. A similar pattern of CRMP2 aggregation was observed in mice, with levels increasing throughout the lifespan. We conclude that CRMP2 is indeed a major target of PIMT-mediated protein repair in the brain; that isoAsp forms of CRMP2 are highly immunogeni; and that CRMP2 dysfunction makes a significant contribution to neuropathology in the PIMT-KO mouse.
The effectiveness of interventions that support women, girls, and people who menstruate to participate in physical activity: a rapid overview of reviews
Authors: Csontos Judit , Brown Natalie , Edwards Adrian , Edwards Deborah , Gillen Elizabeth , Hounsome Juliet , Kiseleva Meg , Lewis Ruth , Macey Steven , Mann Mala , Sidhu Amrita , Cooper Alison
Published: November 2024

Background
Adults (age 18–64 years) are recommended 150–300 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous or 75–150 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity per week. Irrespective, the number of women not meeting recommended physical activity is 5% higher than men globally. Women, girls and people who menstruate face multiple barriers to participating in physical activity, including gender bias, low perceived exercise competence, and insufficient support from peers and/or family. Moreover, menstruation is often reported as a barrier. Numerous interventions have been proposed to increase physical activity participation of women and girls, while little is known about interventions for people who menstruate. Therefore, the aim of this rapid overview of reviews was to investigate the effectiveness of interventions that support women, girls, and people who menstruate to participate in physical activity. Additionally, this review examined whether any of these interventions incorporated managing physical activity participation throughout the menstrual cycle.
Methods
Bibliographic databases (MEDLINE, Emcare, and AMED on OVID platform; CINAHL and SPORTDiscus on EBSCO; Epistemonikos, and Cochrane Database) and grey literature were searched in March 2024. Title/abstract screening was conducted by one reviewer and 20% of records checked by a second. Full-texts screening was performed by two reviewers. Data extraction and critical appraisal (using JBI systematic review checklist) were conducted by one reviewer with another checking accuracy. Findings were summarised narratively.
Results
Fifteen systematic reviews across 16 reports (published between 2008–2024) met the inclusion criteria. The population included young and adolescent girls (n = 9), adult women (n = 3), mothers and daughters (n = 2), and mixed population (n = 1). A wide range of interventions were identified which were educational, environmental or multicomponent. None of the included systematic reviews described interventions focusing on managing physical activity participation throughout the menstrual cycle. Most reviews found mixed effectiveness in increasing physical activity participation, leading to inconclusive results.
Conclusion
There is a need for further research to better support women, girls, and people who menstruate to participate in physical activity, with particular focus on addressing barriers related to the menstrual cycle. The findings can inform workplace, educational and other relevant physical activity recommendations for women, girls and people who menstruate.
Analyzing the Impact of Symbols in Taiwan’s Anti-Disinformation Campaign on TikTok during Elections
Authors: Bhattacharya Sayantan , Agarwal Nitin , Poudel Diwash
Published: November 2024

Social, cultural, and political (SCP) symbols in campaigns play vital roles in connecting emotionally with people, representing identity, simplifying complex issues, and reinforcing political ideologies. This study investigates the impact of SCP symbol content on engagement, emotional responses, and trust in electoral process in TikTok-based anti-disinformation campaigns during Taiwanese 2024 general elections. Utilizing advanced natural language processing and machine learning, we analyzed posts and comments, categorizing them for presence and type of SCP symbols. We employed a multi-faceted approach, examining engagement metrics, emotional responses, and trust evaluations across different symbol categories. Our novel categorization ranged from content without symbols to those incorporating multiple symbol types, providing nuanced understanding of symbolic influence. Findings reveal a strong positive correlation between the complexity of symbolic content and user engagement, with cultural symbols emerging as potent in driving interaction and fostering trust. Emotional analysis showed symbol-rich content elicited more positive emotional responses, especially with cultural symbols. Trust evaluations showed increases in symbol diversity increased trust, with cultural and political symbols generating the highest trust levels towards Taiwan’s democratic and electoral process. Statistical validation through non-parametric tests confirmed that the observed effects were not artifacts of data distribution or follower count variations. Our findings have significant implications for public affairs, strategic communications, policymakers, and platform managers, providing a framework for crafting more 1 effective, culturally resonant content in digital socio-political campaigns. This study also opens avenues for further research into the long-term effects of symbolic communication on political behavior and democratic participation in the digital age.
Enhanced Therapeutic Effects of Hypoxia-Preconditioned Mesenchymal Stromal Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles in Renal Ischemic Injury

Published: November 2024

Background
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) provide significant protection against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Hypoxia is considered an important method for enhancing the tissue repair capabilities of MSCs. However, the specific effects of hypoxia on MSCs and MSC-EVs, as well as their therapeutic potential for renal IRI, remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the alterations in MSCs and the production of MSC-EVs following hypoxia pre-treatment, and further explored the key intrinsic mechanisms by which hypoxic MSC-EVs treat renal IRI.
Methods
Human umbilical cord MSCs were cultured under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Proliferation and related pathways were measured, and RNA sequencing was used to detect changes in the transcription profile. MSC-EVs from both normoxic and hypoxic conditions were isolated and characterized. In vivo, the localization and therapeutic effects of MSC-EVs were assessed in a rat renal IRI model. Histological examinations were employed to assess the structure, proliferation, and apoptosis of IRI kidney tissue respectively. Renal function was measured by analyzing serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels. In vitro, the therapeutic potential of MSC-EVs were measured in renal tubular epithelial cells injured by antimycin A. Protein sequencing analysis of hypoxic MSC-EVs was conducted, and the depletion of Glutathione S-Transferase Omega 1 (GSTO1) in hypoxic MSC-EVs was performed to verify its key role in alleviating renal injury.
Results
Hypoxia alters MSCs transcription, promotes their proliferation, and increases the production of EVs. Hypoxia-pretreated MSC-EVs exhibited a superior ability to mitigate renal IRI, enhancing proliferation and reducing apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells both in vivo and in vitro. Protein profiling of the EVs revealed an accumulation of numerous anti-oxidative stress proteins, with GSTO1 being particularly prominent. GSTO1 knock down was significantly reduced the antioxidant and therapeutic effects in renal IRI of hypoxic MSC-EVs.
Conclusions
Hypoxia significantly promotes MSC-EVs generation and enhances the therapeutic effect of EVs on renal IRI. The effect of antioxidant stress induced by GSTO1 is one of the most important underlying mechanisms. Our findings underscore that hypoxia-pretreated MSC-EVs represent a novel and promising therapeutic intervention for renal IRI.

Published: November 2024

Gastrodia elata (G. elata) is a dual-purpose herb for medicine and food. Wild resources are depleted, and there is a significant decrease in yield or quality when they are cultivated artificially. However, what factors led to the decline is still unclear. In this study, based on comprehensive data under multiple production regions, hierarchical partitioning and partial least squares path modeling were used for the first time to quantitatively evaluate the dominant influencing factors and mechanism for the yield and quality of cultivated G. elata. The results showed that Armillaria relative abundance, soil available potassium and temperature seasonality were the key factors. Their independent effects were 74.14%, 24.78%, and 20.36% on yield, and 36.83%, 25.63%, and 21.30% on quality, respectively. Plant subspecies directly determined the yield and quality (P < 0.01). Soil physical properties affected chemical properties, which in turn affected biological properties and ultimately yields (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, soil physical properties affected quality by influencing soil chemical properties (P < 0.01). Our study contributes novel insight to optimize cultivation strategies of G. elata, providing a more comprehensive knowledge on improving the yield and quality of G. elata and achieving large-scale greenhouse cultivation.

Background: The prognosis of endometrial cancer(EC) is good in the early stage, but not in the late stage and relapse stage. Its morbidity and mortality are increasing. Traditional pathological classification and risk stratification have obvious limitations. Thus, It is of great urgency to search for more prognostic molecules of endometrial cancer to develop individualized treatment strategies.
Methods: Two gene expression profiling datasets (GSE39099, GSE63678) were found from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO) database. The differentially expressed genes(DEGs) among EC were screened using GEO2R technique. Then these genes were analyzed by DAVID tool, STRING and Cytoscape tool to obtain the hub genes of EC prognosis. Finally, we verified them through Gepia2 platform .
Results: A total of 103 DEGs were obtained, and the top 37 hub genes of them involved the prognosis of EC, but only two (GSPT2 and CIRBP) had statistical significance: GSPT2 is related to poor prognosis of EC while CIRBP is connected with a good prognosis of EC. The expression of GSPT2 increased with the increase of clinical stage, while CIRBP decreased. And the expression of GSPT2 was higher in EC tissues as compared to normal tissues by High-throughput sequencing, and the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05).
Conclusions: GSPT2 and CIRBP are expected to be prognostic genes for clinical diagnosis and treatment of EC.

In recent years, interest in biodegradable polymers has surged due to their diverse properties, including some remarkable characteristics such as piezoelectricity, which holds promise for next-generation sustainable electronics. This growing focus underscores the importance of understanding piezoelectric materials like Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), which requires no poling. It has been demonstrated that increasing the crystallinity in PLLA significantly enhances its piezoelectric properties, making it an ideal candidate for various biomedical applications. This paper presents an innovative, low-cost method to improve the crystallinity and crystal phase transformation of PLLA through post-processing techniques. Results indicate that the mechanical properties of the stretched PLLA films are highly dependent on the stretch ratio applied during processing. By examining how stretching influences the internal structure of PLLA, we aim to explore the material's potential for various applications and obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the piezoelectric performance. We introduce a novel approach to studying the fabricated PLLA films using Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy (THz-TDS). THz-TDS revealed anisotropy and birefringence caused by the proposed post-processing technique. This was achieved by measuring changes in the absorption spectra and refractive indices as the films were rotated, providing insights into the molecular orientation. Lastly, THz-TDS was used to quantify the crystallinity of the fabricated PLLA films. The combination of THz-TDS and traditional approaches such as Wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FITR) supports our findings and better explains PLLA's behavior under various conditions. This comprehensive approach emphasizes the promise of optimizing PLLA for advanced biomedical devices.

Reservoir operation rule function is a functional mapping method that reflects specific operational rules to guide reservoir operations. With the deepening of research, the scheduling function has changed from linear to nonlinear forms, from single-objective functions to integrated multi-objective functions, from ignoring uncertainty to incorporating uncertainty analysis, from using fixed parameters to parameters that dynamically change over time, and the system has been continuously refined. Different dispatching rule functions have different actual dispatching effects (flood control, power generation benefits, water resource utilization rate and reliability). Reservoir optimal dispatching aims to identify the best rule functions to achieve the specified objectives. Through advanced computing technologies, the complex relationships between dispatch-related factors and decision variables can be extracted from large amounts of historical reservoir operation data, thus facilitating the extraction of reservoir dispatch rules. With the construction of more and more reservoirs, the hydraulic connections between reservoir groups are complex, with mutual influences occurring across both spatial and temporal scales. These complex correlation factors need to be considered when extracting dispatch rule functions. Compared to conventional operation charts, the operation rule functions extracted through data mining methods offer greater convenience in reservoir group operations. This study adopts a machine learning model based on an autoencoder and self-attention mechanism, focusing on key reservoirs along the Yangtze River and its tributaries. A combined model of these techniques is proposed, and the natural gradient boosting scheduling comparison model is applied to optimize and compare the extracted scheduling rules. The applicability of the model is verified through analysis, and the results are further explained using SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) theory, which provides interpretability for the model results.

Background
This study aimed to compare the effects of different intraoperative positions on the Lavage efficacy and adverse outcomes of whole lung lavage (WLL).
Methods
Patients who underwent whole lung lavage surgery at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital between 2016 and 2023 were included in the study. Patient demographic information was collected and summarized. Patients were divided into two groups based on their intraoperative position, supine or lateral. Baseline characteristics, and lavage efficacy and the occurrence of adverse reactions after surgery were compared between the two groups.
Results
Forty-five procedures of WLL were performed at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital between 2016 and 2023 in 22 patients with an average age of 43 years, with the male : female ratio was 13:9. Among them, 26 and 18 patients were placed in the supine and 18 cases in the lateral position, respectively. There was no significant difference in the volume instilled between the two position groups (10,000 [10,000–11,250] ml vs. 10,000 [6,375–13,000] ml, P = 0.78) or in the volume drained (11,000 [9,950–12,650] ml vs. 10,060 [6,175–13,250] ml, P = 0.324). However, the lavage balance in the prone position group was greater than in the lateral position group (-739.23 ± 735.59 ml vs. 1.11 ± 887.08 ml, P = 0.004), and the lavage rate showed a significant difference (1.08 [1.03, 1.10] vs. 1.00 [0.94, 1.05], P = 0.003). Neither group experienced serious complications and no significant differences in the postoperative adverse events between the two groups in terms of hypoxemia, fluid extravasation, pleural effusion, fever, wheezing, prolonged intubation, respiratory acidosis, and transient cerebral ischemia.
Conclusion
Compared to the lateral position, the supine position had higher efficacy in whole lung lavage. There was no significant difference in postoperative adverse reactions between the two positions.

Navigating the Challanges: Strategies of Migrant Workers in Turkey to Cope With Workplace Bullying
Authors: uyan umut , Ibin Adil
Published: November 2024

Despite being discussed by the scientific community and practitioners for decades; bullying remains a severe problem in modern work life. The problem will likely continue to grow exponentially with the reality of migration. In fact, immigrant workers have been reported to be in the highest risk group in terms of being exposed to workplace bullying. The aim of the study is to understand the extent to which migrant textile workers in Turkey are exposed to bullying behaviors and the strategies they develop to cope with these unintended behaviors. The data of the research, which has a qualitative design, was collected through in-depth interviews (N = 24) and analyzed thematically. The study demonstrates that migrant workers utilize a range of strategies to handle workplace bullying, which can be classified into three primary categories: Enhancing work-related competencies, eliminative and preventive measures. Enhancing professional skills and expanding work-related networks are central to building resilience, while preventive measures include forging alliances with native counterparts and choosing supportive work environments. Eliminative strategies such as mental support, quiet quitting, and alternative employment options underscore the multifaceted nature of coping mechanisms among migrant workers.
