Published: June 2024

Various studies and research have been conducted to find alternatives to liquid insulation. One that is considered the most potential is vegetable oil since it has various advantages, including non-toxic, biodegradable, renewable waste products due to reactions in the form of CO2 and water, high flash points, and better thermal characteristics. In this study, Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) was used as the raw material for insulation oil with the addition of an additive in the form of nano-silica, which improves the quality of the insulation oil. As for determining the feasibility of insulation oil, characteristic tests were carried out in the form of density, viscosity, moisture content, acid number, pour point, flash point, and breakdown voltage. Based on the results of the tests, it was obtained that the lowest density in pure oil was 0.8757 g / cm³, the lowest viscosity in oil with the addition of 0.13 wt% nano-silica was 4.0248 cSt, and the lowest acid number in pure oil was 0.5797 mgKOH / g. It was also discovered that the pour point value is the same for each sample, the moisture content is 0.05%, the flashpoint is > 104 °C, and the breakdown voltage is ≥ 60 kV for each sample. The data show that the insulation oil made from POME has the potential to be used as an alternative to insulation oil.

Published: June 2024

Emotion is a psychological and physiological response to an event or stimulus. Understanding students' emotions helps teachers and educators interact more effectively with students and create a better learning environment. The importance of understanding students' emotions in the learning process has led to exploring the use of facial emotion classification technology. In this research, an ensemble approach consisting of ResNet, MobileNet, and Inception is applied to identify emotional expressions on the faces of school students using a dataset that includes emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, and boredom, acquired from students of Darul Imarah State Junior High School, Great Aceh District, Indonesia. Our dataset is available publicly, and so-called USK-FEMO. The performance evaluation results show that each model and approach has significant capabilities in classifying facial emotions. The ResNet model shows the best performance with the highest accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, which is 86%. MobileNet and Inception also demonstrate good performance, indicating potential in handling complex expression variations. The most interesting finding is that the ensemble approach achieves the highest accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score of 90%. By combining predictions from the three models, the ensemble approach can consistently and accurately address emotion variations. Implementing emotion classification models, individually and in an ensemble format, can improve teacher-student interactions and optimize learning strategies that are responsive to students' emotional needs.

Adults’ Perceptions of Studying English in Face-to-Face, Online, and Blended Modalities
Authors: Ginzburg Tatiana , Daniela Daniela
Published: June 2024

Questions regarding the most effective teaching modality in foreign language instruction remain especially important for adult educators, since adult students have conflicting demands on their time and need to see the value of training. This research is centered around three cohorts of students taking courses of English of the same content and volume from the same provider. The students are university faculty and thus, of comparable demographics, and the courses were funded by the university. Over several years, and as the result of COVID-related restrictions, the courses were delivered in face-to-face (F2F), online, and blended modalities incorporating flipped classroom in the latter two. The aim of the research was to investigate the impact of a course modality on the perceived teaching effectiveness of a language course for adults. A quasi-experiment was used as a type of sequential mixed method. Relative perceived effectiveness of each modality was drawn from a combination of student evaluation of teaching (SET) and semi-structured interviews with former students who acted as both alumni and experts in education. SET comparison revealed no significant differences in results among the three modalities while interviews indicated a preference for the blended learning. At the same time, SETs of fee-paying students with comparable demographics taking similar courses at the same institution and analyzed previously showed a distinctive preference for a blended approach. That might be due to the differences in resources these two groups invested in studies: time vs time and money. The results imply that adult language educators have the flexibility to choose a modality while ensuring teaching effectiveness.

Reduced fitness associated with introgression within the Western Mediterranean admixed population of European seabass
Authors: Leitwein maeva , Ernande Bruno , vandeputte marc , clota frederic , Allal François
Published: June 2024

Unraveling the consequences of hybridization on fitness is of main
concern in ecology and evolution. Many studies report how evolutionary
mechanisms modulate the mosaic of introgression within genomes but few
assessed the associated effect of admixture on fitness traits. Here we
took advantage of the Western Mediterranean population of the European
seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax), a population resulting from
hybridization between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean lineage in the
Alboran Sea. By genotyping 1850 admixed fish with the Axiom Sea Bass 57k
SNP DlabChip array, we assessed the relationship between individual
admixture levels and fitness traits in different thermal regimes (19°C,
21°C, 23°C and 25°C). We first reveal that admixed individuals with more
Atlantic ancestry displayed a biased sex ratio toward males, and were
more sensitive to temperature variation. Then we show that admixed
individuals with more Atlantic ancestry also had a lower body weight
(which is correlated to fecundity in fish), compared to fish with less
Atlantic ancestry. These results highlight the fact that introgression
of Atlantic ancestry is disadvantageous in the Mediterranean basin which
is consistent with the previously observed purging of Atlantic ancestry
tracts following hybridization.
Historic disturbance events overruled climatic factors as drivers of ruderal species distributions in the Scandinavian mountains

Published: June 2024

The contemporary interaction of climate and disturbance drives
vegetation composition and species distribution shifts, making their
respective roles difficult to disentangle. This study describes the
long-term ruderal plant species distributions along the ‘Rallarvägen’ in
Abisko, subarctic Sweden. This trail currently serves as a hiking trail
but was initially created as a construction road for a railroad from
1898 to 1903 and is paralleled by the E10 Highway since 1982. Using
vegetation and climate data from 1903, 1913, 1983, and 2021, we found
that warm-adapted ruderal plant species were common along the
Rallarvägen shortly after railroad construction in the early 20th
century. Interestingly, many of these native and non-native ruderals
with relatively high temperature affinity that were present in 1903 and
1913 have since disappeared and have not reappeared, despite the
substantial increase in regional temperature in recent decades. In
addition, the historical disturbances have had long-lasting effects on
the current spatial distribution of the ruderal vegetation. Most
ruderals still reside close to the railroad tracks and are progressively
filtered out with increasing distance from anthropogenically disturbed
introductory points, such as train stations, where they peak in species
richness – a process we term “Horizontal Directional Ecological
Filtering”, in parallel to the established concept of “Directional
Ecological Filtering” along elevational gradients. The historical
record of ruderal plant species in the region, influenced by a
century-old railroad construction, emphasizes the importance of knowing
a system’s disturbance history for understanding current vegetation
dynamics and anticipating its future in a changing climate.
A set of nematode rRNA cistron databases and a primer assessment tool to enable more flexible and comprehensive metabarcoding
Authors: Charrier Eléonore , Chen Rebecca , Thundathil Noelle , Gilleard John
Published: June 2024

The ITS-2-rRNA has been particularly useful for nematode metabarcoding.
but does not resolve all phylogenetic relationships and reference
sequences are not available for many nematode species. This is a
particular issue when metabarcoding complex communities such as wildlife
parasites or terrestrial and aquatic free-living nematode communities.
We have used markerDB to produce four databases of distinct regions of
the rRNA cistron; the 18S rRNA gene, the 28S rRNA gene, the ITS-1
intergenic spacer and the region spanning ITS-1_5.8S_ITS-2. These
databases comprise 2645, 254, 13461, and 10107 unique full-length
sequences representing 1391, 204, 1837, and 1322 nematode species,
respectively. The comparative analysis illustrates the complementary
value but also reveals a better representation of Clade III, IV, and V
than Clade I and Clade II nematodes in each case. Although the ITS-1
database includes the largest number of unique full-length sequences,
the 18S rRNA database provides the widest taxonomic coverage. We also
developed, PrimerTC; a tool to assess primer sequence conservation
across any reference sequence database and have applied it to evaluate a
large number of previously published rRNA cistron primers. We identified
sets of primers that currently provide the broadest taxonomic coverage
for each rRNA marker across the nematode phylum. These new resources
will facilitate more comprehensive metabarcoding of nematode communities
using either short-read or long-read sequencing platforms. Further,
PrimerTC is available as a simple WebApp to guide or assess PCR primer
design for any genetic marker and/or taxonomic group beyond the nematode
phylum.
Novel regulators identified by quantitative phosphoproteomics analysis during ticagrelor-induced inhibition of platelet
Authors: Song Jiangman , Xu Zhe , Yang Siyu , Hua Zixin , Ling Xi , Zhang Shenyan , Ma Ning , Li Xingang
Published: June 2024

Purpose: To study the antiplatelet mechanisms of ticagrelor.
Experimental design: Platelets underwent activation with 20 μM ADP for
30 seconds followed by inhibition with 2 nM ticagrelor for another 30
seconds. Mass-spectrometry-based phosphoproteomic technique was applied
to obtain phosphorylation spectra in platelets. Results: We successfully
quantified 2285 phosphopeptides with high confidence in 1189
phosphoproteins. Compared with intact platelets, ADP-activated platelets
showed significant upregulation of PDE5ASer102 and downregulation of 178
phosphopeptides in 154 proteins. Gene Ontology analysis showed that
downregulated phosphoproteins were enriched in molecular functions and
pathways associated with RNA processing and surveillance. After
ticagrelor treatment, we identified 53 significantly regulated
phosphopeptides, including 17 upregulated and 36 downregulated, in 45
phosphoproteins. Eight phosphopeptides in STIM1, DENND4C, TNIK, BCL9L,
DBN1, DOCK10, FRMD4B, and PRKAR2B were significantly downregulated after
ADP stimulation and significantly upregulated after adding ticagrelor.
They were mainly implicated in regulation of Ca2+ flow, Wnt/β-catenin
signaling, and cytoskeleton remodeling, suggesting their potential role
as mediators in ticagrelor-related signaling pathways. Conclusions and
clinical relevance: By sequential activation and inhibition of platelets
using mutual competitive inhibitors, ADP and ticagrelor, we demonstrated
alternations in phosphorylation status of phosphoproteins, which could
help to interpret the mechanism of bleeding complications associated
with ticagrelor.

SCATTERING PROPERTY FOR A SYSTEM OF KLEIN-GORDON EQUATIONS WITH ENERGY BELOW GROUND STATE
Authors: CUI YAN , XIA BO
Published: June 2024

In the previous work [6], we classified the solutions to a family of
systems of Klein-Gordon equations with non-negative energy below the
ground state into two parts: one blows up in finite time while the other
extends to a global solution. In the present work, we strengthen this
result, showing that these global solutions are indeed scattering in the
energy space. Here we adapted Kenig-Merle’s concentration-compactness
approach to the system.
Tracheobronchomalacia is common in children with primary ciliary dyskinesia -- a case note review
Authors: Kennelly Synne S. , Hovland Vegard , Matthews Iren Lindbak , Reinholt Finn P. , Skjerven Håvard O. , Heimdal Ketil , Crowley Suzanne
Published: June 2024

Background: The estimated prevalence of tracheobronchomalacia
(TBM) in children is about 1:2100. Tracheomalacia (TM) prevalence is
higher in patients with chronic lung disease such as bronchiectasis and
cystic fibrosis (CF) and may contribute to increased morbidity.
Objective: To determine the prevalence and assess clinical
features of TM, TBM and bronchomalacia (BM) in patients with primary
ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Methods: We performed a retrospective
case-note review of all children with a confirmed or highly likely
diagnosis of PCD attending Oslo University Hospital between 2000-2021.
We selected those who had undergone flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy
(FB) and in whom the presence of TBM was assessed. We retrieved
demographic and clinical data, including airway symptoms, PCD-diagnostic
criteria, indication for bronchoscopy, the presence of lobar
atelectasis, bacteriology and the descriptive and unblinded
video-recorded results of FB. Complications occurring during and after
bronchoscopy were noted. Results: Of 71 children with PCD, 32
underwent FB and were included in the review. The remaining 39 were
included for TBM prevalence calculation only. Median age at FB was 6.0 y
(3.1 – 11.9). Twenty-two children (69%) had intrathoracic airway
malacia. Four (13%) had isolated TM, seven (22%) had TBM, and 11
(34%) had isolated BM affecting either main (n=4) or lobar bronchi
(n=7) (LBM), including four with associated lobar atelectasis. FB
related complications, one major, 12 minor, were documented in 13
children (41%). Conclusion: We found a high prevalence of TBM
among children with PCD undergoing FB. This may represent a significant
comorbidity and have implications for patient management.
Regional population and seascape genomics of the smooth hammerhead shark Sphyrna zygaena reveals adaptive clinal variation despite high gene flow

Published: June 2024

Globally, hammerhead sharks have experienced severe declines owing to
continued overexploitation and anthropogenic change. The smooth
hammerhead shark Sphyrna zygaena remains comparatively understudied
compared to other members of the family Sphyrnidae, and despite its
Vulnerable status, a comprehensive understanding of its genetic
landscape remains lacking. The present study aimed to conduct a
fine-scale genomic assessment of Sphyrna zygaena within the highly
dynamic marine environment of South Africa’s coastline, using thousands
of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) derived from restriction
site-associated DNA sequencing (3RAD). A combination of
differentiation-based outlier detection methods (OUTFlank and pcadapt)
and Genotype-Environment Association (GEA) (Redundancy Analysis)
analysis in Sphyrna zygaena were employed. Subsequent assessments of
putatively adaptive loci revealed a distinctive south to east genetic
cline. Amongst these, notable correlations between adaptive variation
and sea-surface dissolved oxygen and salinity, in addition to spatial
factors were evident. Conversely, analysis of 110, 965 neutral SNP
markers revealed a lack of regional population differentiation, a
finding that remained consistent across various analytical approaches,
including an assessment of isolation-by-distance (IBD) and
isolation-by-environment (IBE), genetic clustering analyses (LEA,
fastSTRUCTURE, and find.clusters), and a discriminant analysis of
principal components (DAPC). These results provide evidence for the
presence of differential selection pressures within a limited spatial
range, despite high gene flow implied by the selectively neutral
dataset. This study offers notable insights regarding the potential
impacts of genomic variation in response to fluctuating environmental
conditions in the circumglobally distributed Sphyrna zygaena.
Himalayan Blackberry (Rubus bifrons) in eastern Canada: a timely discovery
Authors: Sollows David , Blaney Sean , Nickerson Shayla , Hill Nicholas
Published: June 2024

Currently, the invasive Himalayan Blackberry (Rubus bifrons Vest) is sparsely distributed in eastern Canada and the northeastern United States, documented in Ontario, Quebec, and New England. In summer 2022, patches of this plant were found in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, at the shrubby edges of gravel parking lots and in the town maintenance area. Of most concern is its occurrence along a former railway line that is now a trail system connecting many communities. In the fall and winter of 2022 established populations were noticed at three locations in Digby County, Nova Scotia, between 80 km and 100 km northeast of Yarmouth, where the evergreen thickets were noticeable from a distance. Climate warming and a variety of dispersal agents have likely contributed to the recent spread. Control is recommended to protect native biodiversity from this highly competitive invasive shrub.

Este artigo científico tem como principal objetivo identificar a exigência do comum acordo, como requisito processual para o ajuizamento de dissídio coletivo de natureza econômica. Para tanto, analisar-se-á a utilização do requisito no Tribunal Regional do Trabalho da 9ª Região, com competência territorial no Estado do Paraná, e do Tribunal Superior do Trabalho com os resultados e as formas de resolução do comum acordo, após a Emenda Constitucional 45/2004, chamada de reforma do judiciário, na qual foi inserida a exigência do comum acordo, no § 2º, do art. 114 da Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988. A inclusão do requisito gerou grande discussão no meio jurídico; isto também o artigo enfrentou. Esta análise buscará fundamentos doutrinários, da análise de legislação e da jurisprudência. Constata-se com a pesquisa realizada que as responsabilidades normativas do Estado em um conflito de interesses coletivos entre empregados e empregadores, que buscam melhores condições de trabalho, visam uma forma de evitar conflitos em longo prazo. A dúvida é se isto será alcançado com a exigência do comum acordo como requisito processual para o ajuizamento de dissídios coletivos de natureza econômica.

Authors: Usman Muhammad , Hussain Akhtar , Ali Hassan , Zaman Fiazuddin , Abbas Naseem
Published: June 2024

This study delves into the exploration of three distinct envelope solitons within the nonlinear dispersive modified Benjamin Bona Mahony (NDMBBM) equation, originating from seismic sea waves, and the Kudryashov-Sinelshchikov (KS) equation. The solitons emerge naturally during the derivation process, and their existence is scrutinized using the ansatz approach. The findings reveal the presence of non-topological (bright), topological (dark) solitons, and rogue wave (singular) solitons, presenting significant applications in applied research and engineering. Additionally, two-dimensional and three-dimensional revolution plots are employed with varying parameter values to scrutinize the physical characteristics of these solitons.
Simulation studies on hemodynamic models for blood flow
Authors: İzgi Zehra Pınar
Published: June 2024

One of the most important fluid flows is blood flow seen in hemodynamics, which is a vital process and carries many components from one place to another in the interior of the body. Blood is a special suspension; it is a non-Newtonian fluid as the blood flow cannot be compressed due to the imbalance in strain force and velocity. Blood flow is modelled by various equations which are based on fundamental equations such as the Korteweg-De Vries (KdV) equation and the nonlinear Schrödinger type equations. In this study, some new solitary solutions of the blood flow models are obtained in explicit form via the Bernoulli method which is one of the ansatz-based methods. Moreover, 3D and 2D simulations under the suitable values of the parameters of the solutions obtained are plotted.

The Saudi National Diabetes Registry focuses mainly on adult patients. In 2020, the National Guard Health Authority (NGHA) launched the Saudi Pediatric and Youth Diabetes Registry (SPYDR), for children and adolescents with diabetes. We report on the first data and the challenges we faced during SPYDR initiation.
Patients were identified from the electronic medical records of the Saudi NGHA hospitals using International Classification of Disease (ICD-10). A trained coordinator verified the diagnosis and entered patients' details into the registry and a random sample was validated by experienced endocrinologists. The data were analyzed according to patients' demography, diabetes subtypes, duration, control, and complications. The challenges faced the team were identified and addressed.
At the time of manuscript submission, 2344 individuals were enrolled. Their mean age at diagnosis was 9.08 (±4.27) years and 1,136 (48.46%) were females. Of these, 91.3% have type 1 (T1D) and 6.4% have type 2 diabetes (T2D). The mean HbA1c was 10.45% (±2.36) and duration of diabetes was 5.31 (±3.05) years. The main challenges included COVID-19 pandemic, data validation and centers' participation. However, within 12 months of initiation enrolled subjects matched the expected number.
Despite the challenges, the first step of SPYDR was achieved. The initial data confirmed that T1D is the commonest form of childhood diabetes, and the frequency of T2D is comparable to regional and international data. SPYDR provides infrastructure to data sharing and collaborative research; hence; we plan to expand it to enroll patients from other Saudi healthcare institutes.

Published: June 2024

The ongoing and persistent endeavour to discover effective new anticancer medications remains a steadfast objective. Presently, the focus of this research lies in exploring novel substituted derivatives of 1,2,3-triazole carboxamide. A set of novel derivatives of 1,2,3-triazole carboxamide(5a-5n) were successfully synthesized with yields ranging from satisfactory to excellent. These compounds underwent characterization using various analytical methods, such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry. Their cytotoxic potential against four cancer cell lines—HeLa, PANC-1, HCT-116, and A-549—was evaluated in vitro. Notably, compounds 5j, 5i, 5m, and 5f displayed significant anticancer activity. Molecular docking experiments were conducted on the synthesized compounds, revealing strong binding interactions with the active sites of EGFR and CDK4-Cyclin D3. However, out of all the derivatives tested, namely 5i, 5j, 5g, 5f, and 5h, it was observed that these compounds displayed a favourable binding affinity towards both the EGFR and the CDK4-Cyclin D3 active site. The results of the study suggest that the synthesised compounds have potential as agents for cancer therapy. Furthermore, further alterations to the structure of triazole-carboxamide derivatives could lead to the development of effective anticancer drugs.

Colorectal cancer is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer in both genders and the fourth foremost cause in respect to cancer-associated mortality. The metastasis mechanism of colorectal cancer shows that it gradually developed in the form of polyps under granular cells in the large intestine, which damages blood and lymph vessels. At present, chemotherapy and surgery are the major clinical approaches in treatment. Therefore, developing novel and effective drugs are requiring use of natural derivative compounds, a potent and significant effect in restricting the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). The present research investigates the in vitro anticancer properties of various extracts of plant Oxalis corniculata counter cell viability of CRC cell line (HCT116) using an MTT assay. In silico docking studies of hexadecanoic acid were performed with cytochrome P450CYP17A1 protein (3RUK) to predict potential inhibitors and druglikeness as potential CRC inhibitors using ADME profiling adhered to five rule of Lipinski. The finding indicated the extracts of the Oxalis corniculata have anticancer and anti-proliferative activity.  The cell cytotoxic observed against chloroform extract exhibited the highest inhibition against the HCT116 cell line, following ethanol and aqueous extract. The determined IC50 values for the ethanol, aqueous, and chloroform extracts were 53.94±1.29 µg/ml, 61.85±0.43 µg/ml, and 47.34±1.24 µg/ml, respectively The in silico molecular docking result shows that n-hexadecanoic acid compound was found to be effective against 3RUK protein associated with CRC. Therefore, the finding suggests Oxalis corniculata plants could be used to formulate potential therapeutic drugs for the development of anticancer agents.

Bougainvillea spectabilis has long been utilized for its diverse range of medicinal characteristics, including antibacterial, antiviral, hepato-protective, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, antifertility, antiulcer, anticancer and antiviral effects. The objective of this research was to find out how B. spectabilis (both ethanolic and aqueous extract) affected the development of duodenal ulcers. The investigation was conducted on a model of duodenal ulceration utilizing the chemical cysteamine hydrochloride, which has the potential to induce ulcers in conjunction with ranitidine, a conventional medicine. Then, a treatment group consisting of the plant’s ethanolic and aqueous extract was compared to the chemical that causes duodenal ulcers. The ethanolic extract derived from the B. spectabilis plant demonstrated a strong ability to treat duodenal ulcers produced by the chemical cysteamine hydrochloride. The ethanolic extract effectively protected the duodenum and stomach regions from chemical-induced damage, as demonstrated by its superior performance compared to the conventional treatment. Both stomach as well as duodenal ulcer healing and protection against experimentally induced duodenal ulcers in rats were improved by the plant B. spectabilis.

Alzheimer’s disorder is the most prevalent type of insanity. It can start with a slight loss of memory and progress to a loss of response to stimuli and interaction. Deregulation of the antioxidant response and neurotransmission has been linked to neuro-decadence illnesses, likely Alzheimer’s disorder. Metals, along with microelements, support the proper operation of the nervous system. Heavy and essential metals both increase tau protein hyperphosphorylation and Aβ assemblage. The root of Alzheimer’s disorder is summarized in this article, along with the roles played by daily exposure to substances like pesticides and some macro and microelements. So, by knowing them, we can limit their exposure of them in day-to-day life. Gaining insight into these functions in brain health and illness could lead to discovering new curative targets for neuro-decadence diseases. Since metal ions are implicated in most degenerative diseases, future treatments may target them. One method is to limit the ions’ ability to obstruct oxidative processes or disturb protein folding by chelating and sequestering them.
