Two sides of the same wing: ventral scales enhance dorsal wing color in the butterfly Speyeria mormonia
Authors: Chappell Daniel R. , Boggs Carol L. , Speiser Daniel I.
Published: September 2023

Biological visual signals are often produced by complex interactions between light-absorbing and light-scattering structures, but for many signals, potential interactions between different light-interacting components have yet to be tested. Butterfly wings, for example, are thin enough that their two sides may not be optically isolated. We tested whether ventral wing scales of the Mormon fritillary, Speyeria mormonia, affect the appearance of dorsal orange patches, which are thought to be involved in sexual signaling. Using reflectance spectroscopy, we found that ventral scales, either silvered or non-silvered, make dorsal orange patches significantly brighter, with the silvered scales having the greater effect. Computational modeling indicates that both types of ventral scale enhance the chromatic perceptual signal of dorsal orange patches, with only the silvered scales also enhancing their achromatic perceptual signal. A lack of optical independence between the two sides of the wings of S. mormonia implies that the wing surfaces of butterflies have intertwined signaling functions and evolutionary histories.
Heterogeneity and Adjuvant Therapeutic Approaches in MSI-H/dMMR Resectable Gastric Cancer: Emerging Trends in Immunotherapy
Authors: Wu Hui , Ma Wenyuan , Jiang Congfa , Li Ning , Xu Xin , Ding Yongfeng , Jiang Haiping
Published: September 2023

Gastric cancer (GC) remains one of the world’s most common and fatal malignant tumors. With a refined understanding of molecular typing in recent years, microsatellite instability (MSI) has become a major molecular typing approach for gastric cancer. MSI is well recognized for its important role during the immunotherapy of advanced GC. However, its value remains unclear in resectable gastric cancer. The reported incidence of microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H)/deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) in resectable gastric cancer varies widely, with no consensus reached on the value of postoperative adjuvant therapy in patients with MSI-H/dMMR resectable GC. It has been established that MSI-H/dMMR tumor cells can elicit an endogenous immune antitumor response and ubiquitously express immune checkpoint ligands such as PD-1 or PD-L1. On the basis of these considerations, MSI-H/dMMR resectable GCs are responsive to adjuvant immunotherapy, although limited research has hitherto been conducted. In this review, we comprehensively describe the differences in geographic distribution and pathological stages in patients with MSI-H/dMMR with resectable gastric cancer and explore the value of adjuvant chemotherapy and immunotherapy on MSI-H/dMMR to provide a foothold for the individualized treatment of this patient population.
Reproducibility and location-stability of radiomic features derived from cone-beam computed tomography: a phantom study
Authors: He Xian , Chen Zhi , Gao Yutao , Wang Wanjing , You Meng
Published: September 2023

Objectives:

This study aims to determine the reproducibility and location-stability of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) radiomic features.

Methods:

Centrifugal tubes with six concentrations of K2HPO4 solutions (50, 100, 200, 400, 600, and 800 mg ml−1) were imaged within a customized phantom. For each concentration, images were captured twice as test and retest sets. Totally, 69 radiomic features were extracted by LIFEx. The reproducibility was assessed between the test and retest sets. We used the concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) to screen qualified features and then compared the differences in the numbers of them under 24 series (four locations groups * six concentrations). The location-stability was assessed using the Kruskal-Wallis test under different concentration sets; likewise, the numbers of qualified features under six test sets were analyzed.

Results:

There were 20 and 23 qualified features in the reproducibility and location-stability experiments, respectively. In the reproducibility experiment, the performance of the peripheral groups and high-concentration sets was significantly better than the center groups and low-concentration sets. The effect of concentration on the location-stability of features was not monotonic, and the number of qualified features in the low-concentration sets was greater than that in the high-concentration sets. No features were qualified in both experiments.

Conclusions:

The density and location of the target object can affect the number of reproducible radiomic features, and its density can also affect the number of location-stable radiomic features. The problem of feature reliability should be treated cautiously in radiomic research on CBCT.
An effective solution to boost generation from waves: Benefits of a hybrid energy storage system integration to wave energy converter in grid-connected systems
Authors: Barelli Linda , Bidini Gianni , Ciupageanu Dana Alexandra , Ottaviano Andrea , Pelosi Dario , Gallorini Federico , Alessandri Giacomo , Atcheson Cruz Mairead
Published: September 2023

Background: Wave energy represents one of the most promising renewable energies due to its great theoretical potential. Nevertheless, the electrical compliance of grid-connected systems is a great issue nowadays, due to the highly stochastic nature of wave energy.

Methods: In this paper, a Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) consisting of a Li-ion battery and a flywheel is coupled to a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) that operates in grid connected mode. The study is performed using real yearly wave power profiles relating to three different sites located along the European coasts. The Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (SPSA) principle is implemented as real-time power management strategy for HESS in wave energy conversion systems.

Results: Obtained results demonstrate how the proposed HESS and the implementation of the SPSA power management coupled to a WEC allow a reduction of more than 80% of power oscillations at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC), while proving the robustness of the developed management strategy over the investigated sites. Moreover, the average energy penalty due to the HESS integration results slightly higher than 5% and battery solicitation is reduced by more than 64% with respect to the flywheel solicitation, contributing to extend its lifetime.

Conclusions: HESS integration in renewable generation systems maximizes the WEC production while smoothing the power at the PCC. Specifically, flywheel-battery HESS together with the implemented power management strategy could provide a great flexibility in the view of increasing power production from waves, strongly mitigating the variability of this source while enhancing grid safety and stability.
What inclines us towards collective decisions
Authors: El Zein Marwa , Rouault Marion , Wurzer David , Haggard Patrick , Deroy Ophelia
Published: September 2023

Collective decisions are ubiquitous, but so is the drive for autonomy. What makes people choose one over the other? Previous literature mainly contrasts how people take decisions when they are in groups or on their own, leaving it open when and why they would opt for either in the first place. To tackle this question, we will ask participants to make perceptual decisions and subsequently to choose whether they wanted their rewards or losses to depend only on their decision or to have their decision pooled with those of other participants. First, we will examine whether the preference for collective or individual decisions is a trait, and if so, on which individual characteristics it may depend. We will then consider whether being less certain about one’s decision and risking a loss makes people more prone to join a group, and if this is reflected in feeling less responsible for the decision outcome.

On binary opposition and binarism: A long-distance dialogue between decolonial critique and the Lotmanian semiotics
Authors: Gherlone Laura
Published: September 2023

While addressing the decolonial critique of Eurocentric modernity and the call for alternative cosmo-visions, this article retraces Juri Lotman’s culturological exploration towards the concept of ternarity [тернарность]: the scrutiny of the so-called binarism is what connects – without overlapping – the two perspectives.

This long-distance dialogue will be built starting with the key notion of binary opposition, which will be analysed as a decolonial problem (Part I) and as a culturological problem (Part II). The analysis will focus on two central issues that stem from the either-or logic: the “othering mindset”, and the culture–nature dualism.
Theosemiosis: An essay on consilience and the perennial philosophy
Authors: Kalkman Matthew L.
Published: September 2023

Can the divide between science and religion be bridged? The current article will present the case for semiotics – and specifically the process of theosemiosis – as that platform of connection. In order to present this argument a key issue that must be tackled is whether there is one underlying function within the category of religion that can be extracted and held accountable in its knowledge claims: what has generally been termed the perennial philosophy. This extracted principle must then be capable of conforming to a broader model of consilience that can contain the knowledge captured in both science and religion. A model that can equally explain the work of Aristotle, Bacon, Galilee, and Einstein as it does Moses, Buddha, Jesus and Krishna, both in an ontological and epistemological sense; and thus a modification and extension of Enlightenment principles in such a way that they can capture the western and eastern notions of that light. In this regard, seeing truly is ‘knowing’.
The prevalence and dynamics of the test anxiety in foreign students before and within COVID-19 pandemic in Ukraine
Authors: Bogutska Nataliia , Khilchevska Victoria
Published: September 2023

Test anxiety (TA) is a psychological condition of a person’s distress before, during, or after a test or other assessment. The prevalence and dynamics of TA before and after COVID-19 pandemic in foreign graduate medical students in Bukovinian State Medical University (Ukraine) was investigated. After receiving informed consent 6 year foreign students: 234 on the eve of COVID-19 pandemic and 74 students in spring 2023 anonymously filled in the TA questionnaire (Sarason I.G., 1980), total points ≥ 12 signified presence of TA. The average level of TA before COVID-19 pandemic was 6,3±2,8 points, while later in 2023 it increased significantly to 8,0±3,8 points, p<0,01. In 2023 more than 70% of students answered that they “feel very panicky when they have to take a surprise exam” and more than 30% of graduates when taking tests, find that “their emotional feelings interfere with their performance”. More than 48% of students answered, that they “find themselves thinking of the consequences of failing during test”. Physical manifestations of TA included positive answer for the question “I sometimes feel my heart beating very fast during important examinations” in 74% of students and in 38% of cases students struggle with excessive perspiration. Around 30% of students “usually get depressed” or deal with any gastrointestinal problems after important tests. Totally in 2023 34% of examined students demonstrated borderline or present TA as compared to 15% before (p<0,02). Thus, TA causing somatic and/or psychological distress is present in every third medical foreign student and has significantly increased within COVID-19 pandemic period in Ukraine, that’s why it deserves more attention.
Lekcja z „Cyfrowego Panoptikonu”

Published: September 2023

Niedawno uruchomiona strona internetowa Cyfrowego Panoptikonu (Digital Panopticon) to wynik 15 lat wspólnej pracy naukowców nad tworzeniem zasobów cyfrowych opartych na zdigitalizowanych raportach i postępowaniach prowadzonych w sądzie Old Bailey. Po uruchomieniu w 2003 roku Old Bailey Online wspomniane raporty i postępowania włączono do rozszerzonych baz danych wzbogaconych o specjalistyczne wyszukiwarki. Cyfrowy Panoptikon to więc kompendium 50 zbiorów danych, które pozwala na prześledzenie życia 100 tysięcy skazańców od narodzin aż do śmierci. Projekt pokazuje, co można osiągnąć, stosując innowacyjne metodologie cyfrowe.
Cyfrowy Panoptikon jest doskonałym przykładem pracy zespołowej humanistów cyfrowych, ponownego wykorzystania danych i już istniejących zasobów udostępnianych online, opracowania nowych metod łączenia ze sobą rekordów i wizualizacji oraz stworzenia ważnego i otwartego zasobu publicznego. W ciągu niecałego roku cieszył się zainteresowaniem 50 tysięcy użytkowników i był wykorzystywany w nauczaniu uniwersyteckim i szkolnym; umożliwił także zainicjowanie i prowadzenie przełomowych badań historycznych. Jednak wskutek ograniczeń związanych z działalnością platformy internetowej, wpływem społecznym oraz niewystarczającym finansowaniem w projekcie nie zrealizowano wszystkich założonych celów. W artykule wskazano więc najlepsze rozwiązania na przyszłość, zwłaszcza stworzenie elastyczniejszych platform cyfrowych zorientowanych na badania wykorzystujące wiele baz danych, skupiające naukowców z różnych dziedzin naukowych i łączące ze sobą odmienne metodologie.

Las formas de vida para un habitar transindividual: una genealogía intencionada desde tres marcos reflexivos.
Authors: Lahata Sarah
Published: September 2023

Esta reflexión explora las posibilidades para una arquitectura que se abre a la vida política afirmativa y un habitar como espacio de y para la vida más allá de la lógica universal, exclusiva y antropocéntrica del Humanismo. Se propone repensar y recomponer un marco teórico alternativo y complementario para la arquitectura y el habitar, fundamentado en el concepto de formas de vida de Ludwig Wittgenstein y su apropiación como formas-de-vida por Giorgio Agamben que, se extiende al Posthumanismo neomaterialista y al Feminismo de Rosi Braidotti, las aportaciones de Roberto Esposito que abogan por una concepción de vida inherentemente expuesta al mundo y a los demás, y a otras investigaciones más localizadas, emancipadoras y plurales. Éstas contribuyen a iluminar los debates del presente y renovar las historias y teorías humanocéntricas de la arquitectura escritas y enseñadas. La apertura e indeterminación de esta vía puede ofrecer para las formas-de-vida posthumanas emergentes un habitar por hacer, abierto y mutante apto para su nueva forma en continua mutación que, en un contexto de crisis de habitar e incertidumbre vital, desconoce las metamorfosis por las que va a pasar. Esta genealogía trata de ser un dispositivo de investigación que se define y se refuerza a través de aperturas, fugas y evocaciones. Opera de un modo transdisciplinar permitiendo una existencia y una habitabilidad no represivas para componer un mundo común en mutación.
Sobre la necesidad de un cambio de cosmovisión para afrontar la actual crisis sistémica global.
Authors: Campos Ana
Published: September 2023

Desde la perspectiva de complejidad, mostramos la criticidad del balance entre egoísmo y empatía en el diseño de las estructuras que emergen de los colectivos sociales, y como éstas se retroalimentan con la colectivización de las creencias por un mecanismo de causación descendente. La nuestra es una cultura eminentemente egoica que hunde sus raíces en la cosmovisión heredera de la modernidad eurocéntrica, reforzada por la mitología posmoderna. La historia de los últimos siglos, canalizada por la idiosincrasia de esta sociedad egoica, ha desembocado en la actual crisis sistémica global. Afrontar con éxito la crisis requiere un cambio profundo de la forma en la que interaccionamos entre nosotros, dando peso a la empatía en detrimento del egoísmo. Para ello Occidente necesita renovar las creencias colectivizadas, su cosmovisión actual, por otra noantropocentrista y no-reduccionista que ponga el énfasis en la interdependencia.
Resource-Window Reduction by Reduced Costs in Path-Based Formulations for Routing and Scheduling Problems
Authors: Bianchessi Nicola , Gschwind Timo , Irnich Stefan
Published: September 2023

Many routing and scheduling problems are modeled through variables that represent paths (routes, schedules, etc.). For such extensive formulations, branch-price-and-cut (BPC) algorithms nowadays constitute the leading exact solution technique, and most of the time, the pricing problem is a shortest-path problem with resource constraints that can be solved by a dynamic-programming labeling algorithm. For this setting, variable fixing techniques based on the reduced costs of the paths have been proposed with the aim of eliminating arcs from the underlying network and speeding up the solution process of the pricing problem as well as of the overall BPC algorithm. For an efficient variable fixation, bidirectional labeling must be possible. We move one step forward and show how the reduced costs of paths can also be exploited to reduce the resource windows for many types of resources, including the time resource and a load-related resource. This can be achieved without modifying the pricing problem network and altering the structure of the pricing problem itself. Moreover, different resources can be considered simultaneously. A straightforward reduction of the resource windows associated with the vertices of the network can tighten them, but this reduction does not translate into savings in computation times. On the contrary, the reduction of the resource windows is effective when distinct forward and backward resource windows are defined for each arc and reduced independently based on the traversal direction of the arc itself. Moreover, an arc can be eliminated when one of its arc-specific resource windows becomes empty, and the explicit use of variable fixing techniques can be avoided. Computational results obtained for benchmark instances of the vehicle-routing problem with time windows show that the overall computation times of the BPC algorithm can be significantly reduced compared with a fully fledged BPC algorithm using variable fixing techniques.

Optimal Routing Under Demand Surges: The Value of Future Arrival Rates
Authors: Chen Jinsheng , Dong Jing , Shi Pengyi
Published: September 2023

When having access to demand forecasts, a crucial question is how to effectively use this information to make better resource allocation decisions, especially during demand surges like the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the emergence of various advanced prediction models for hospital resources, there has been a lack of prescriptive solutions for hospital managers seeking concrete decision support, for example, guidance on whether to allocate beds from other specialties to meet the surge demand from COVID-19 patients by postponing elective surgeries. In their paper “Optimal Routing under Demand Surge: the Value of Future Arrival Rate,” the authors present a systematic framework to incorporate future demand into routing decisions in parallel server systems with partial flexibility and quantify the benefits of doing so. They propose a simple and interpretable two-stage index-based policy that explicitly incorporates demand forecasts into real-time routing decisions. Their analytical and numerical results demonstrate the policy’s effectiveness, even in the presence of large prediction errors.
Systemic bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) infection and accompanying warm autoimmune haemolytic anaemia following intravesical BCG immunotherapy
Authors: Güven Alper Tuna , Demiroğlu Yusuf Ziya , Koçer Nazım Emrah
Published: September 2023

Intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is used for urothelial carcinoma. Systemic side effects are rare and commonly include organ involvement but rarely include bone marrow. We describe a patient who had received intravesical BCG and presented shortly afterwards with constitutional symptoms. Initial work-up revealed pancytopenia and immune haemolysis. He was presumptively diagnosed with systemic BCG infection and secondary warm autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. Isoniazid, rifampin and ethambutol was started. The bone marrow biopsy revealed granulomas. Within 6 weeks of treatment, the patient's clinic and laboratory results were dramatically improved. A high level of suspicion is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

MEDIAÇÃO E EXPERIÊNCIA TURÍSTICA: BLOGS E INDIVIDUAÇÃO NA CONSTRUÇÃO DE VIAGENS INDEPENDENTES
Authors: Brito Caroline
Published: September 2023

O argumento principal deste artigo é que os blogs se apresentam como espaço de construção não apenas de uma imaginação sobre a viagem, mas de uma experiência de viagem independente. Inicio por situar o discurso dos blogs dentro de um quadro ético que os caracteriza como mídia alternativa e democrática, erguida com os valores da liberdade e da sinceridade. Em seguida, demonstro como a narrativa de si é acompanhada de um projeto compartilhado de construção e democratização de conhecimentos. Com a aposta na potência do múltiplo e da individuação, os blogs de viagens desafiam os especialistas, apresentando-se como fontes de experiências diretas, que produzem discursos não mediados por interesses de mercado. Finalmente, os guias e agências de viagens são percebidos como instâncias mediadoras da experiência turística, uniformizada em pacotes e narrativas generalistas, em contraposição à caracterização do blog como mídia capaz de reconfigurar o campo das viagens.
TOPOFILIA E EXPRESSÕES IMAGÉTICAS SOBRE O TURISMO: CONTRIBUIÇÕES E PERSPECTIVAS DA COMUNIDADE QUILOMBOLA DA RASA (ARMAÇÃO DOS BÚZIOS – RJ)
Authors: Rodrigues Milena Manhães , Santos Renato De Oliveira dos , Nasri Yasmin Xavier Guimarães , Raimundo Sidnei
Published: September 2023

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar o turismo e a relação afetiva da comunidade quilombola local com o território da Rasa, em Armação dos Búzios (Rio de Janeiro), a partir de fotografias participativas, com foco nas imagens associadas ao território dessa comunidade. A metodologia utilizada foi a abordagem qualitativa, exploratória, com locus na comunidade da Rasa, selecionada como estudo de caso, tendo sido realizada uma pesquisa participante, com trabalho de campo de inspiração etnográfica e fotografia participativa, prioritariamente, pela técnica photovoice. O estudo revelou que, em detrimento do reconhecimento da atratividade dos locais/elementos fotografados diante das dinâmicas de inclusão/exclusão do turismo em Armação dos Búzios, a narrativa imagética dos participantes-fotógrafos retrata a topofilia da Rasa, na medida em que o critério de seleção das fotografias está relacionado à memória afetiva e à valorização da história social associada aos locais aprazíveis desse território.
Constituição psíquica infantil e o brincar mediado: estudo a partir da teoria histórico-cultural
Authors: Lumertz Fábia Daniela Schneider , Oliveira-Menegotto Lisiane Machado de Oliveira
Published: September 2023

O artigo tem como tema central o brincar e o papel da mediação nesse processo, tendo como objetivo principal refletir sobre a mediação do brincar no processo de constituição psíquica infantil desde o início da vida, quando o brincar é marcado fortemente pela intervenção de um outro humano que nomeia os objetos e aponta as suas funções para a criança, até o brincar simbólico, fruto da ação da imaginação sobre os objetos e sobre as situações sociais da vida.  Trata-se de um estudo teórico, de revisão narrativa da literatura, feito com pesquisa bibliográfica qualitativa fundamentada na base conceitual da teoria histórico-cultural do desenvolvimento psíquico humano. O estudo destaca o brincar mediado como fundamental para o desenvolvimento das funções psicológicas superiores e para a humanização infantil. Assim, este trabalho pode contribuir para o entendimento da aprendizagem mediada desde o início da vida e da imprescindibilidade do brincar no desenvolvimento psíquico infantil.
Entrelaçando linguagens e história: práticas de torturas a partir da visão do letramento crítico
Authors: Aguiar André Effgen , Milea Arasy González
Published: September 2023

O presente trabalho pretende conectar, de forma transdisciplinar, o ensino de linguagens e História, por meio da discussão e elaboração de uma proposta didática, orientada pelos preceitos filosóficos-educacionais-culturais do letramento crítico (DUBOC, 2014; AGUIAR, 2021; SHOR, 1999; BISHOP, 2014; CARBONIERI, 2016; LEWISON, FLINT, VAN SLUYS, 2002; GONZÁLEZ-MILEA; GARCÍA-RUIZ, 2021). A ideia é refletir sobre as práticas de tortura institucionalizadas, sobretudo na época da Ditadura Militar brasileira (1964-1985), e entender suas heranças na contemporaneidade por meio de métodos torturas veladas, cada vez mais sofisticadas. O importante aqui é dar nome ao que está ocultado, e construir com os alunos caminhos alternativos para entender a história que a história não conta.

Published: September 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender acerca da formação continuada de professores que atuam nos anos iniciais em escolas do campo, como resultado de um recorte de estudo de dissertação. A proposta de educação do campo prevê que as práticas pedagógicas estejam alinhadas às peculiaridades do contexto do camponês, neste sentido, se faz necessário refletir sobre a formação docente nesta realidade. Este universo requer que a formação oportunize aos professores a fundamentação teórica referente à modalidade de educação do campo. Neste sentido, a pesquisa é de abordagem qualitativa do tipo estado do conhecimento. Para tanto, foram mapeados no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior – Capes, onde foram utilizados os descritores educação do campo e formação continuada de professores, com a finalidade de conhecer os resultados das produções científicas sobre a formação continuadas de professores, atuantes nos anos iniciais, nas escolas do campo. Foram selecionadas sete dissertações de mestrado, publicadas em um lapso temporal entre os anos de 2017 e 2021. Após análise e sistematização destas produções, foi possível concluir que embora sejam identificados avanços positivos nos dispositivos de formação continuada disponibilizados às escolas do campo, ainda existe a demanda de formação continuada específica aos docentes que atuam neste cenário. A formação continuada para essa modalidade de ensino implica em assumir uma configuração que estimule os docentes à compreensão da proposta de educação do campo.

Authors: Conte Elaine , Trevisan Amarildo Luiz , Santos Fabiane Rodrigues dos
Published: September 2023

O objetivo da discussão é realizar um mapeamento e discussão da produção sobre políticas e gestão da educação no Brasil e suas interfaces no campo da formação política de professores da educação básica. Para isso, analisamos o sentido das políticas e gestão emergentes na educação, e também averiguamos as possíveis propostas contemporâneas para a formação política de educadores, lançando as bases teóricas de modos (trans)formadores de prática, na contramão do mundo capitalista neoliberal. O trabalho contempla algumas políticas da educação e os saberes que insurgem e se renovam no tempo presente, alimentando formas de (re)existência do ser professor. Em tempos de crise, a jornada do professor brasileiro da educação básica à pós-graduação é exaustiva e desvalorizada, exigindo ações imediatistas, rápidas e desconectadas de projetos conjuntos. A pesquisa hermenêutica contextualiza a atitude permanente de revisão de estudos, tendo como horizonte de criação as estratégias formativas conectadas às políticas educacionais. É inspirada na (re)construção de conhecimentos e referências do campo, buscando entender a experiência da formação política e cidadã do professor que estamos vivendo, para que seja possível abrigar a pluralidade do humano.

Banana Fusarium wilt is a devastating banana disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), seriously threatening the global banana industry. However, knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of pathogenicity and the interaction between the host and Foc is limited. In this study, we confi rmed the changes in gene expression and pathways in the Cavendish banana variety “Brazilian” during early infection with Foc1 and Foc4 by comparative transcriptomic analysis, including pathogenesisrelated protein genes, leucine-rich repeat type genes, and plant hormone genes. In the early stages of Foc inoculation, more differentially expressed genes were identifi ed in roots infected with Foc1 than in those infected with Foc4. According to Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses, bananas with Foc1 infection caused differential accumulation and expression of various defence-related compounds and genes at the early stage of infection. In contrast, changes in the expression of defence-related genes in the early stages of Foc4 infection were small or weak and were not apparent until 24 h post-infection. Therefore, plant immune responses may occur at this stage of infection. This study could help clarify the interaction between banana plants and Foc and develop control measures for banana Fusarium wilt.

Composite materials, among them Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP), have become a key material in structural applications for lightweight structures such as spacecraft and aircraft.
CFRP can be found under various quality grades and their mechanical performances increase with their cost and quality grade. In order to limit the costs of the material without degrading technical performances, hybridization could be of interest. However, assessing the conservation of quality standards of hybridized CFRP is crucial. This paper investigates the off-axis mechanical response of ply-level hybrid carbon composites, with varying thickness and material quality. Two types of carbon
fiber prepregs were combined in the same laminate using symmetric and asymmetric stacking sequences. Monotonic quasi-static off-axis tests were performed to evaluate the non-linear stress-strain behavior of the laminates, with Digital Image Correlation used to measure strain. The apparent elastic modulus and the in-plane shear modulus were evaluated from the tensile tests at three off-axis angles.
The results indicate that the hybrid laminates exhibit higher failure stress levels compared to simple laminates, with an intermediate failure strain. Overall, this study provides insights into the off-axis mechanical behavior of ply-level hybrid carbon fiber composites, with potential applications in the design of composite structures.

High-speed, accessible, and robust in vivo imaging of the human retina is critical for screening of retinal pathologies, such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and others. Scanning light ophthalmoscopy (SLO) is a retinal imaging modality that produces digital, en face images of the human retina with superior image gradability rates when compared to the current standard of care in screening for these diseases, namely the flood-illumination handheld fundus camera (HFC). However, current-generation commercial SLO systems are mostly tabletop devices, limiting their accessibility and utility in screening applications. Moreover, most existing SLO systems use raster scan patterns, which are both inefficient and lead to undesired subject gaze drift when used with visible or pseudo-visible illumination. Non-raster scan patterns, especially spiral scanning as described herein, promise advantages in both scan efficiency and reduced subject eye motion. In this work, we introduce a novel “hybrid spiral” scan pattern and the associated hardware design and real-time image reconstruction techniques necessary for its implementation in an SLO system. Building upon this core hybrid spiral scanning SLO (HSS-SLO) technology, we go on to present a complete handheld HSS-SLO system, featuring a fiber-coupled portable patient interface which leverages a dual-clad fiber (DCF) to form a single-path optical topology, thus ensuring mechanically robust co-alignment of illumination and collection apertures, a necessity for a handheld system. The feasibility of HSS-SLO for handheld, in vivo imaging is demonstrated by imaging eight human volunteers.
Super-resolution imaging method assisted by a left-handed medium slab based on a neural network
Authors: Zhang Qianqian , Yin Chengyou , Li Anqi
Published: September 2023

In this study, a super-resolution imaging method is proposed that combines the physical properties of a left-handed medium (LHM) slab and the mathematical methods of a neural network. Firstly, for the problem of super-resolution information loss in the received scattering field in general scenes, the LHM slab is used to construct a perfect lens to recover the evanescent wave component that carries super-resolution information. Secondly, the compressed sensing (CS) method is applied to image the sparse targets under the LHM environment. However, the perfect focus only occurs in spot or line positions. Therefore, the imaging width of conventional methods is limited and a more powerful mathematical method is needed. Finally, the neural network method is introduced to relax the limitations of target imaging width due to its strong non-linear fitting capability. The simulation results demonstrate that the imaging resolution can reach λ/10 with the assistance of LHM, while the CS method can realize super-resolution imaging of λ/20 based on prior information of spatially sparse targets. In addition, the neural network method proposed in this paper relaxes the limitation of targets, realizing super-resolution imaging of λ/20 for general targets.
Mutual aid instead of mutual restrain： Interactive probing for topological charge and phase of a vortex beam of large aberrations
Authors: Lei Zhang , Wu Shengyang , Yu Benli
Published: September 2023

An imperfect propagation environment or optical system would introduce wavefront aberrations to vortex beams. The phase aberrations and orbital angular momentum in a vortex beam are proved to be mutually restrictive in parameter measurement. Aberrations make traditional topological charge (TC) probing methods ineffective while the phase singularity makes phase retrieval difficult due to the aliasing between the wrapped phase jump and the vortex phase jump. An interactive probing method is proposed to make measurements of the aberrated phase and orbital angular momentum in a vortex beam assist rather than hinder each other. The phase unwrapping is liberated from the phase singularity by an annular shearing interference technique while the TC value is determined by a Moiré technique immune to aberrations. Simulation and experimental results proving the method effective are presented. It is of great significance to judge the characteristics of vortex beams passing through non-ideal environments and optical systems.

Born in Singapore, Chris Morton moved with his family to England as a young child, settling in the north-east in the early 1960s. His passion and talent for drawing was reflected in his love of comics and animation, later with a combined interest in music leading him to underground magazines and posters associated with the hippie counterculture. After having to leave art college early in 1975, he found himself in the right place at the right time and was commissioned to create a graphic identity for a new independent record label based in London – Stiff Records. Still running a design studio in Newcastle, he discusses punk, new wave, typography, print technologies, humour, parody and graphic design with Russ Bestley.
Why startups fail in emerging entrepreneurial ecosystems?

Published: September 2023

Objective: Entrepreneurs are responsible for innovation, but they do not act in the vacuum, the greater the support for their action, the improve the chances of success. Startups - technology-based companies with high potential for growth and impact - are associated with the existence of entrepreneurial ecosystems that facilitate entrepreneurial action. This paper goal is to provide evidence that help to explain why startups fail in an emerging entrepreneurial ecosystem. Method: We perform exploratory research in which entrepreneurs whose startups failed in the emerging entrepreneurial ecosystem of Porto Alegre, Brazil, were interviewed. We complement the analysis with the collection of secondary data. Results: Building on Isenberg’s (2011) six domains, we generate ideas on how each of them in emergent entrepreneurial ecosystem may influence startup mortality. Our results indicate that emerging entrepreneurial ecosystem could be much better in avoiding the premature failure of startups. Policy and Finance are the most problematic domains, while culture, support, and markets are the three middle-ground dimensions. These last three need improvement, but they are not as critical as the first two. Contributions: This paper contributes to the entrepreneurial ecosystems literature by exploring how emergent ecosystems contribute for discontinuity of promising startups. Originality: Besides entrepreneurial mistakes, problems that are out of the entrepreneur control can also cause a venture's death (Cardon et al., 2011). Building on this, we use Isenberg's (2010; 2011) model for understanding the influence of the entrepreneurial ecosystem on the circumstances that entrepreneurs faced that determined their startup failure (Jenkins & McKelvie, 2016). Social Contributions: by better understanding why startups fail in emerging entrepreneurial ecosystems, we support policymakers in their focus on possible improvements of the features that seem most relevant to entrepreneurs. The public agents can then work to provide a better environment for future entrepreneurial endeavors.

Published: September 2023

Penyakit ginjal tahap akhir (PGTA) adalah penyakit ginjal kronik (PGK) stadium 5 yang ditandai dengan laju filtrasi glomerulus (LFG) < 15 mL/menit/1,73m2 selama tiga bulan atau lebih, atau suatu kondisi dengan pasien memerlukan terapi pengganti ginjal seperti hemodialisis, dialisis peritoneal, atau transplantasi ginjal. Pasien dengan PGTA sering mengalami gangguan saluran cerna, termasuk perdarahan saluran cerna, yang dapat terjadi dari atas maupun bawah. Perdarahan saluran cerna atas lebih umum ditemukan dan berkaitan dengan erosi saluran cerna. Pada pasien anak dengan PGTA, erosi saluran cerna umum ditemukan namun angka kejadian perdarahan saluran cerna berkaitan dengan erosi pada anak dengan PGTA belum diketahui. Patofisiologi perdarahan saluran cerna pada pasien PGTA belum sepenuhnya diketahui, namun diduga berkaitan dengan disfungsi trombosit akibat uremia, anemia, dan penggunaan obat-obatan. Mekanisme perdarahan saluran cerna tergantung etiologinya, terutama erosi dan angioektasia. Belum ada pendekatan dan tata laksana perdarahan saluran cerna khusus pada anak dengan PGTA yang terbukti secara uji klinis, namun optimalisasi dialisis dan tata laksana anemia dapat dilakukan sebagai tindakan pencegahan.

Latar belakang. Kolestasis adalah suatu kondisi gangguan aliran empedu yang memengaruhi asupan nutrisi dan perkembangan anak. Tujuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi hubungan status nutrisi dan morbiditas pada anak dengan kolestasis kronik. Metode. Studi ini menggunakan metode kohort retrospektif yang melibatkan 97 pasien anak dengan kolestasis kronik. Data antropometri, usia, jenis kelamin, penyebab dasar penyakit, dan morbiditas pasien kemudian dikumpulkan dan dievaluasi. Status nutrisi dinilai berdasarkan kurva WHO 2006. Hasil. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa 46% pasien mengalami kondisi gizi buruk dan 27% gizi kurang berdasarkan pengukuran Lingkar Lengan Atas (LLA) per usia, sementara 66% pasien termasuk ke dalam kategori pendek dan 30% sangat pendek berdasarkan tinggi badan (TB) per usia. Studi ini menunjukkan hubungan antara common cold dan gizi buruk pada anak dengan kolestasis kronik. Kesimpulan. Meski terdapat hubungan antara pruritus, gangguan gastrointestinal, dan perdarahan saluran cerna dengan status gizi, tetapi tidak menunjukkan hasil yang signifikan setelah analisis multivariat. Faktor lain seperti organomegali, asites, dan defisiensi nutrisi tertentu juga berkontribusi terhadap penurunan nafsu makan dan berpotensi mengakibatkan gizi buruk pada anak. Penemuan ini menegaskan pentingnya tatalaksana gizi yang komprehensif dan penanganan dini bagi pasien anak dengan kolestasis kronik.
