В статье рассматривается вопрос регулирования в Конституции РФ прав коренных малочисленных народов. Сказано, что в 2020 году в Конституцию РФ были внесены поправки, касающиеся, в том числе, законодательного определения статуса коренных малочисленных народов – их гарантии прав получили конституционный статус. Эти поправки направлены на сохранение прав, самобытности коренных народов России. Обращается внимание на то, что ключевым признаком коренных малочисленных народов является обеспечение сохранности самобытности. В связи с этим перечисляются особенности регулирования и защиты прав национальных меньшинств и коренных народов Российской Федерации. Делаются выводы о том, что для эффективной реализации прав коренных малочисленных народов, для их устойчивого развития в России следует применять комплексный подход: правовые, финансовые, организационные меры с целью повышения гармонизация межнациональных отношений и обеспечения стабильности в стране, а также уделять внимание патриотическому и интернациональному воспитанию населения.

В современных реалиях для любого государства особую роль в поддержании нормального функционирования общества занимает обеспечение общественной безопасности посредством противодействия угрозам различного характера. Так, Президентом Российской Федерации В.В. Путиным отмечается, что повышение безопасности дорожного движения является основной задачей государства, которая должна проявляться в укреплении тенденций по снижению аварийности на дорогах. Существует множество направлений по снижению аварийности на дорогах. В данной статье уделяется особое внимание влиянию такого института, как административное наказание – одного из аспектов административной ответственности, её роли и эффективности в данном направлении в силу его восприятия как одного из первостепенных факторов, влияющих на правосознание участников дорожного движения по недопущению ими нарушений правил дорожного движения (далее – ПДД). Профилактике правонарушений в сфере безопасности дорожного движения (далее – БДД) посредством проработки вопроса об административном санкционировании в нашем государстве уделяет большое внимание. Однако в общей системе превентивной политики РФ по обеспечению БДД наказанию как правовому средству борьбы с нарушениями ПДД уделяется мало внимания в вопросах индивидуализации и проработки новых направлений в указанном институте, которые помогут повысить эффективность вышеназванной политике нашего государства. В особенности стоит уделить внимание такому виду ответственности, как административный штраф, который является одним из самых распространенных видов наказания в сфере БДД, а также нельзя пройти мимо зарубежного опыта по эффективности вышеназванного наказания в системе профилактики правонарушений ПДД.
DECONSTRUCTED REALITY, TANGIBLE HARM

Published: January 2025

This paper studies the historical development of the international crime of incitement to genocide, from its origins in Nuremberg to its contemporary online format, identifying the role of the media and fake news in it. Showing this progression and describing its underlying patterns is a research effort for legally interpreting a phenomenon. After identifying the elements of the crime according to international law and presenting the new aspects brought by cybercommunications, the paper analyses the Myanmar case to demonstrate how the existing legal framework may be applied to social media posts spreading fake news. Lastly, concerning speeches falling outside the scope of the norm, the paper proposes a new crime prohibiting the conduct of systematically creating or distributing fake news online when such conduct constitutes computational propaganda with the intent to harm groups protected under the Genocide Convention and assesses the democratic justification of the proposal.
The effect of the transition to IFRS on the value judgement of investors
Authors: Szekeres Alexandra , Tömöri Gergő
Published: January 2025

In our research, we examined the profitability of companies switching to IFRS and the value judgement of investors in the two accounting systems. During the examination, we established that there is no significant difference in the ROS and ROA profitability indicators in the two accounting systems. It is important to note that in the case of both indicators, for companies with a high fixed asset requirement, there is a significant difference in the two accounting systems based on the results of the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Taking into account the number of elements of the clusters, their proportion, and the value of the effect size, in our opinion, the conclusion cannot be drawn for the entire basic population that the indicators significantly differed as a result of the transition, because the difference can only be observed in the cluster with a lower number of elements, or a particularly strong relationship cannot be revealed for any of the indicators. On the other hand, for the ROE indicator, a significant difference can be clearly established in the two accounting systems, as the significant relationship can be demonstrated both in companies with low and high capital requirements. Overall, in the IFRS, the companies showed more favourable profitability with regard to the ROE indicator. The second examination of our research is related to this, which aimed to determine whether the significant deviation of the ROE indicator in the year of the transition can be attributed to the transition to IFRS.

Aging is an inevitable and universal phenomenon characterized by the decline of physiological systems, making organisms more vulnerable to a variety of age-related diseases. This decline is driven by cumulative cellular damage, oxidative stress, inflammation, and impaired cellular repair mechanisms, leading to increased fragility of tissues and organs. Cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, and strokes, are particularly common in the elderly, often resulting from atherosclerosis. Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, which involve the progressive loss of neurons, also significantly impact cognitive function and motor coordination in aging populations.
Metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis, are closely associated with aging. Type 2 diabetes impairs glucose regulation, while osteoporosis reduces bone density, increasing the risk of fractures. These conditions, along with cancer, arthritis, macular degeneration, and hearing loss, contribute to the overall decline in physical and cognitive function as individuals age. Although aging and its associated disorders cannot be entirely prevented, researchers are focused on understanding the underlying mechanisms to develop treatments that promote healthy aging. Personalized therapies, genetic medicine, biotechnology, regular exercise, a balanced diet, and social engagement are recognized as essential strategies for maintaining health and well-being into old age.
In response to the challenges posed by aging, Google launched Calico (California Life Company) in 2013, aiming to improve health during the final years of life by exploring the biology of aging and developing therapies to combat age-related diseases. Led by Arthur D. Levinson, Calico’s research strategy includes large-scale genomic and proteomic studies, as well as the use of model organisms to identify key biochemical processes involved in aging. The company is actively developing therapies for cancer, neurological diseases, cardiovascular conditions, and other age-related disorders through collaborations with academic institutions and biotech companies.
Calico also utilizes data analytics and machine learning to identify biomarkers of aging, discover new therapeutic targets, and predict individual responses to treatments. This data-driven approach accelerates the discovery process in aging biology and helps prioritize research initiatives. While the goal of achieving immortality remains out of reach, Calico's efforts align with the principles of promoting healthy aging and extending the health span, positioning the company at the forefront of longevity research and offering significant promise for transforming the aging experience.
Adherence to the Singapore 24-hr Integrated Activity Guidelines and Quality of Life of Adolescents Studying in International Schools: A Self-Reported Survey Study (Preprint)
Authors: Turiahdassu Yuvaraj , Chua Terence , Chia Michael Yong Hwa
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Adolescents today are growing up in an era dominated by digital media such that increased screen media use may increase sedentary behaviour, displace physical activity, and lead to higher calorie intake and cause sleep disturbances, potentially increasing health risks in later years. In recent times, there has been a paradigm shift of public health guidelines to an integration of activity guidelines. For example, the Singapore Integrated 24-Hour Activity Guidelines include guideline recommendations for sleep, physical activity, screen time, and diet. While existing research on adherence to activity guidelines and quality of life in adolescents primarily centers on local government schools, such studies on adolescents attending international schools in Singapore are scarce. As such, a research gap surrounding how international school adolescents structure their 24-hour periods on weekdays and weekends, and how it relates to their quality of life exists.

OBJECTIVE

The study aimed to examine how well adolescents in international schools in Singapore adhered to the Singapore Integrated 24-Hour Activity Guidelines, which include sleep, physical activity, screen time, and diet as well as how meeting the guidelines relate to their quality of life.

METHODS

A total of 555 adolescents (15.7 ±1.4 years) completed the Adolescent-surveillance of digital media use Questionnaire (Adolescent-smalQ) and Pediatric Quality of Life Questionnaire (PedsQL) on an online survey platform.

RESULTS

Males slept longer than females on weekdays but had similar weekend sleep. Males also engaged in more moderate-to-vigorous physical activity than females on weekdays and weekends. Screen time was comparable between males and females on weekdays and weekends. Only 6.8% of adolescents met all four guidelines, while 6.0% met none. Those adhering to all guidelines reported higher quality of life than those meeting none (78.5% vs. 65.3%).

CONCLUSIONS

The study highlights the benefits of guideline adherence and emphasizes the need for better monitoring and education to encourage guideline adherence and promote health and wellbeing among international school adolescents.

Psychological, clinical and socio-demographic predictors of pain catastrophizing in chronic pain patients: insights from a cross-sectional study
Authors: Asanova A. , Khaustova O. , Skrynnyk O. , Mukharovska I.
Published: January 2025

Background. Considering the complexities surrounding chronic pain and its profound psychological impact, including the role of maladaptive pain beliefs like pain catastrophizing, it becomes essential to delve deeper into the factors contributing to this phenomenon. The aim was to study the characteristics of pain catastrophizing in the Ukrainian population of patients with chronic pain. Materials and methods. This research was a cross-sectional observational study involving 150 participants suffering from chronic pain who consented to take part. A set of socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as the results of some psychological assessments, such as the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, were used to study and describe the structure and correlates of pain catastrophizing in patients with chronic pain. To assess pain intensity, the visual analog scale was used. Results. The study identified significant associations between pain catastrophizing and various socio-demographic factors, with females exhibiting higher levels of rumination, magnification, and helplessness compared to males. Notably, marital status and financial stability were found to influence catastrophizing levels, while psychological factors, such as anxiety and depression, also demonstrated a strong correlation with pain catastrophizing. Additionally, poorer sleep quality and a higher number of pain localizations were linked to increased catastrophizing, highlighting the complexity of these interrelationships. Conclusions. These findings emphasize the need for early intervention strategies aimed at reducing pain catastrophizing among chronic pain patients to improve treatment outcomes. Future research should explore targeted management approaches that incorporate socio-demographic, clinical and psychological factors influencing pain catastrophizing to enhance therapeutic efficacy and patient quality of life.
The phenomenon of neurological components prevalence in influencing the quality of life of patients with the atopic dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis overlap syndrome in modern realities
Authors: Konovalenko L. , Litus O. , Konovalenko S.
Published: January 2025

Background. Over the last decade, the incidence of atopic dermatitis (AD) has increased significantly and reaches from 5 to 20 % in different countries, which is obviously related to the improvement of the diagnostic algorithm. According to modern data, the course of AD has significantly worsened despite the improvement of comprehensive treatment methods. To a certain extent, this may be due to the presence of a comorbid condition, or overlap syndrome, of AD and allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). The purpose was to develop a scale for assessing the quality of life of patients with the AD and ACD overlap syndrome based on an integrated questionnaire and to evaluate the neurological component of the course of the disease. Materials and methods. Based on the analysis of world publications over the past 5 years, the authors developed a questionnaire that considers the main components of the quality of life of patients with the AD + ACD overlap syndrome, and for its designation, they proposed the Latin abbreviation QLI-OS-AD/ACD-2024 (Quality of Life Index Overlap-Syndrome Atopic Dermatitis/Allergic Contact Dermatitis-2024). It is proposed to evaluate the results of the questionnaire based on the score: 0–7 — overlap syndrome of AD and ACD does not significantly affect the quality of life, 8–14 — significantly affects and 15–20 — significantly worsens the quality of life. Results. From the selected cohort, 16 (29.1 %) patients, according to the results of the survey, received a total score from 1 to 7 points and characterized the impact of the disease on their quality of life as not significant, 32 (58.2 %) assessed the impact of the AD and ACD overlap syndrome as substantial, having from 8 to 14 points. The quality of life significantly worsened in 7 (12.7 %) patients who received a total score of 15 to 20 points. It was found that the greatest influence in the quality of life panel is exerted by the overlap syndrome on the quality of sleep and cognitive functions: a negative impact on sleep was noted by a total of 42 (76.4 %) participants, of which in 31 (56.4 %) — sometimes and in 11 (20.0 %) — always; deterioration of memory and attention was recorded in 43 (78.2 %) cases, of which in 35 (63.6 %) — sometimes and in 8 (14.5 %) — always. Conclusions. The QLI-OS-AD/ACD-2024 questionnaire makes it possible to assess the degree of the AD and ACD overlap syndrome influence on the quality of life of dermatological patients, and the detection of the neurological component prevalence phenomenon in the negative impact on the quality of life allows patients to be referred to a neurologist in a timely manner and to develop an adequate approach to the comprehensive treatment of the AD and ACD overlap syndrome.
An Integrated in Silico-In Vitro-In Vivo Approach for Pharmacokinetic Studies of Andrographolide Using Aqueous Extract of Andrographis Paniculata (Burm.F.) Wall. Ex Nees

Published: January 2025

Andrographis paniculata is a herbal plant that has been used traditionally for decades to treat a wide range of diseases. To this date, no research on the integration of in silico, in vitro, and in vivo pharmacokinetics (PK) has been documented on andrographolide (AG), the primary bioactive compound in A. paniculata. In this study, we employed an in silico approach to predict the physicochemical properties, metabolism, and toxicity of AG. PK properties were validated using in vitro assays and further tested in Wistar rats. Based on in silico prediction, AG demonstrated to be a soluble, permeant, and lipophilic drug. AG was regarded as a non-mutagenic and non-carcinogenic drug with a low risk of oral absorption. In vitro assays showed that AG was stable at all pH levels tested, had a high equilibrium solubility and moderately stable in the mouse plasma. AG was also permeant across the Caco-2 monolayer with Papp values of 9.627 × 10−6 cm/s (apical) and 18.1 × 10−6 cm/s (basolateral). It had a stable metabolism in the liver microsomes and did not have any inhibitory effects on the enzymes CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4 (MDZ). Based on in vivo results, the volume of distribution and clearance were both high, with a short elimination half-life (0.17 ± 0.0 h) contributing to the low oral bioavailability (~2%). Rapid oral absorption was shown with Tmax of 0.25 h. Our data revealed promising drug-like properties of AG, and its pharmacokinetics profiles support its potential in developing andrographolide-based products from natural resources.

Published: January 2025

Whitening cosmetics with anti melanogenesis activity are very popular in the world. Many studies are trying to identity new ingredients that exhibit antimelanogenesis effect for the developing of new products. There has been a rapid increase in the use of natural anti hyperpigmentation agents from marine sources for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. The aims of this review is to provide an overview of the antioxidant and anti melanogenesis effect of brown seaweed which contains a large amount of  fucoxanthin as a skin whitening agent. Fucoxanthin from brown algae sources has also developed for use in cosmetics. Most of the articles we reviewed lack detailed investigations of molecular target, which are essential for meeting the criteria of  cosmetic and pharmaceutical use. Recently, several carotenoids have been discovered from brown seaweed by examining their anti-melanogenesis and mechanisms. Despite the rarity of in vivo and clinical investigations of marine molecular mechanism algae derivates whitening agents.  The novelty of this review is to discuss fucoxanthin as a major carotenoid in brown algae as an antioxidant and anti-melanogenesis. An anti-melanogenesis test is generally preceded by an antioxidants activity test.  Almost all brown algae have a good antioxidant effect (compared to control). This suggests that brown seaweed has antioxidant properties. In addition, the melanogenesis effecf of brown algae was better compared to the control

¿Cuáles son las consideraciones de la ciudadanía mexicana para confiar en la presidencia? La confianza política se ha estudiado a partir de parámetros como la ausencia de corrupción y la presencia de libertades civiles. Este artículo propone un análisis de la confianza política no solo a partir de la relación entre la ciudadanía con sus instituciones, sino también por medio de interrelaciones de confianza ciudadana. De igual manera, se complementa el modelo con condiciones sociales como la confianza generalizada y la confianza particularizada. La presente investigación busca explicar la variación de confianza política en los cuatro presidentes postransición democrática en México (2000-2022). Se realizó un análisis cualitativo comparativo para especificar qué condiciones o configuración explica la asignación de confianza política. Entre los principales hallazgos se encontró que ninguna de las variables se erigió como condición suficiente o necesaria, también que la dimensión política tuvo mayor relevancia para la asignación de confianza y, finalmente, que existió un marcado impacto contextual al inicio de los sexenios.

A partir de insumos de la teoría del populismo, se explora la gramática de producción de la identidad “libertaria” y los desplazamientos discursivos que le permitieron hegemonizar sentidos y lograr éxito electoral. De igual manera, este artículo identifica tensiones y posibles futuros de este proceso reciente y abierto.
El tiempo histórico de larga duración: de la Nueva España a la Iberosfera. Comunicación y economía-mundo
Authors: Váquez-Bravo Luz Elena
Published: January 2025

A partir de identificar la intervención de varios grupos empresariales españoles en México, se analiza la relación económica y política entre Europa y América. Se parte de categorías teóricas establecidas por el historiador francés Fernand Braudel (1949-2015) y el binomio economía-mundo. Desde esta mirada, el espacio geográfico y las formaciones económicas que ponen en tensión tecnología, materia prima, recursos y comercio, permanecen a lo largo de los siglos y atraviesan formas económicas preindustriales, industriales y ahora, postindustriales. En la exploración de la relación entre Europa y México, sugerimos el término “bisagra” para determinar el papel que ha jugado España. Desde una mirada europea, se habla de Virreinatos, Atlantismo, Hispanoamérica, Iberoamérica e Iberosfera; todas, categorías que revelan una estructura de larga duración. También se analizará la corrupción como un elemento constante en esta relación. La investigación se despliega en dos niveles: se ha hecho una búsqueda de noticias referentes a dichas empresas y, además, una de esas empresas, Prisa, figura como parte de los conglomerados mediáticos trasnacionales.

El objetivo de la presente investigación, fue analizar el sistema productivo de amaranto en la comunidad de Huixcazdhá, Hidalgo, México, así como identificar el papel que juega este cultivo en la vida cotidiana de los productores. Se diseñó y aplicó una encuesta dirigida a 20 productores, de un total de 25, que habitan en la comunidad. Su edad, varía entre 30 y 58 años, con un promedio de 44 años. Del total de entrevistados, 66%, fueron del sexo masculino y todos dijeron ser jefes de familia; 34%, eran del sexo femenino y solo algunas, eran jefas de familias. Los entrevistados, comentaron que ellos cultivan amaranto, maíz y frijol en sus terrenos y en terrenos que prestan las organizaciones: “San Miguel de Proyectos Agropecuarios, S.P.R. de R.S” y “Asociación Civil Utopía Huixcazdhá”. La superficie máxima prestada, es de dos hectáreas y tienen el compromiso de sembrar al menos, media de amaranto y vender la cosecha a las empresas. Estas empresas, favorecen la presencia del amaranto en la comunidad. Se encontró una rentabilidad negativa del cultivo, sin embargo, los productores, no han considerado dejarlo de sembrar, ya que perderían la oportunidad de sembrar las dos hectáreas que se les prestan y han optado, por incrementar las innovaciones en el sistema de producción, la comercialización y el consumo del grano.

This study addresses the crisis of maturity in contemporary times, exploring its possible causes and illnesses, in addition to presenting interventions based on the Winnicottian approach. The methodology used consists of a bibliographical review focused on Winnicott's studies on the coming-of-age crisis, using periodicals, dissertations, theses and relevant books. The qualitative approach is adopted to provide a comprehensive understanding of reality, especially with regard to the profile of the contemporary generation. The Literature Review offers a wide range of materials for the critical analysis of theoretical data. The specific objectives include the analysis of differences between generations, the identification of possible causes and illnesses arising from the maturational crisis, and the description of possible interventions based on the Winnicottian approach. This study seeks to contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon of the coming-of-age crisis in contemporary times and provide relevant insights for effective therapeutic approaches. The research addressed the crisis of contemporary maturity, highlighting the importance of psychological and emotional maturity, creativity and cultural impact, especially related to the use of technology in young people's mental health. Limitations were identified, such as the lack of empirical data and the temporal delimitation of the studies reviewed. Future research with mixed methodologies is recommended, considering cultural and contextual aspects to support young people in the transition to adulthood.
Literature as a mode of thought: Derrida’s institution of différance
Authors: Ó Fathaigh
Published: January 2025

In this article, I argue that literature represents a privileged modality for
thinking institutionality in Derrida?s work and, moreover, that literature
represents a model for institutions. The first section presents Derrida?s
understanding of literature as anti-essentialist and a mode of experience
which resists the transcendence of identity. In the second section, I
propose that literature attends to its own fragility, lacking any definite
foundation or external referent. I then consider the political implications
of this position, demonstrating that literature not only encourages us to
attend to its own fragile foundations, but also the foundations of
socio-political institutions in general. It achieves this attention through
its specific relationship to performative language. In the fourth section, I
argue that literature reveals institutions as an effect of diff?rance;
rather than understanding diff?rance as an infinite delay, institutions
emerge in the process of diff?rance. Literature underscores the
inescapability of institutions. Our aim, as Derrida stresses, should not be
to do away with institutions, but to form a new relation to institutions. I
conclude by outlining some of these implications for literature as an
institution which can serve as a model for the new relation to
institutionality that Derrida valorises.
Foucault’s twisty spatial history of exclusion from ‘madness’ to ‘badness’
Authors: Philo Chris
Published: January 2025

A little-noticed shift - potentially of great interest to socio-spatial
theorists, human geographers and what might be termed ?spatial historians? -
occurred in Foucault?s thinking from his work on ?madness? (Madness and
Civilization, originally 1961) to that on ?badness? (Discipline and Punish,
originally 1975). Whereas the former revolved chiefly around space as
distance and barrier, enforcing exclusion-as-exile, the latter took more
seriously space as a complex resource for organising, distributing and
operating upon troublesome populations in the guise of
inclusion-as-confinement. This article charts this big-picture shift in
Foucault?s oeuvre, particularly pulling out what occurs in his now
published/ translated lecture course The Punitive Society (delivered in
1973). Often regarded as little more than a prototype for Discipline and
Punish, it is actually the case that The Punitive Society stages a switch
from a stark-exclusionary reading of how society chases away its troublesome
?others? to a more nuanced-inclusionary reading of how society works on
these ?others? with the goal of rendering them potentially acquiescent and
useful. That the former reading was how Foucault initially envisaged his
spatial history of prisons is itself revealing, but so too is what he says
about harsher punitive and exclusionary logics still lying at the heart of
inclusion-as-confinement.
Choice without an alternative: The governmental rationality of the EU Green Deal
Authors: Hristov Todor
Published: January 2025

The article discusses the governmental rationality of the EU Green Deal. Even
though it shares some of the distinguishing features of liberal and
neoliberal security apparatuses described by Michel Foucault, the Green Deal
involves a new mode of risk calculation, a different concept of crisis and a
modulated mechanism of control: danger is evaluated by the distance from
normative targets rather than as a deviation from the normal probability
distribution; the potential crisis is inscribed as a reference point in any
economic or social calculation; the threat is mitigated by creating a market
on which the economic actors exchange reduced risks for funding. The article
argues that the concepts of crisis, security and market developed by Michel
Foucault provide a coherent description of the rationality of present-day
climate governance. Moreover, in contrast to rationalchoice or system
theories, the Foucauldian concepts are able to account for the hidden cost
of the green transition: the dissemination of the global threat into a
series of local economic, financial, political or everyday-life crises. The
latter are illustrated by the unintended consequences of a recent attempt by
the Bulgarian government to translate the EU climate goals into national
regulations.
A critical review of Foucault’s approach to military doctrine in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries - where has the resistance gone?
Authors: Sekulic Nada
Published: January 2025

Foucault discusses military doctrine and drills in several of his works, each
with different research aims, utilizing fragmentary and heterogeneous
examples from various spheres of social life to address a broader
theoretical question: how power manifests in society, how it is shaped
within discourse and linked to knowledge, and in what ways it acts upon
individuals. The paper challenges Foucault?s analysis of military doctrine
and the development of military drills in the 17th and 18th centuries as
partial, overly linear, and excessively focused on structures rather than on
people. By situating the research within Foucault?s concepts of the
genealogy of power, episteme, and resistance, the paper argues that
Foucault?s approach has effectively precluded the possibility of addressing
and exploring the space of human freedom.
Integrative proteogenomic analyses provide novel interpretations of type 1 diabetes risk loci through circulating proteins
Authors: Lu Tianyuan , Manousaki Despoina , Sun Lei , D. Paterson Andrew
Published: January 2025

Circulating proteins may be promising biomarkers or drug targets. Leveraging genome-wide association studies of type 1 diabetes (18,942 cases and 501,638 controls of European ancestry) and circulating protein abundances (10,708 European ancestry individuals), Mendelian randomization analyses were conducted to assess the associations between circulating abundances of 1,560 candidate proteins and the risk of type 1 diabetes, followed by multiple sensitivity and colocalization analyses, horizontal pleiotropy examinations, and replications. Bulk tissue and single-cell gene expression enrichment analyses were performed to explore candidate tissues and cell types for prioritized proteins. After validating Mendelian randomization assumptions and colocalization evidence, we found that genetically predicted circulating abundances of CTSH (OR=1.17 per one standard deviation increase; 95% CI:1.10-1.24), IL27RA (OR=1.13; 95% CI:1.07-1.19), SIRPG (OR=1.37; 95% CI:1.26-1.49), and PGM1 (OR=1.66; 95% CI:1.40-1.96) were associated with the risk of type 1 diabetes. These findings were consistently replicated in other cohorts. CTSH, IL27RA, and SIRPG were strongly enriched in immune system-related tissues, while PGM1 was enriched in muscle and liver tissues. Amongst immune cells, CTSH was enriched in B cells and myeloid cells, while SIRPG was enriched in T cells and natural killer cells. These proteins may be explored as biomarkers or drug targets for type 1 diabetes.

Solar air collectors (SAC) are usually used for space heating and drying of agricultural products. In SACs, thermal efficiency is low due to the low heat transfer between the absorber plate and fluid. In this study, a novel absorber plate geometry is designed and manufactured for enhancing the thermal efficiency. A comparative test system consisting of a flat absorber plate with staggered conical springs and a collector with flat absorber plate was established. It is aimed to increase the thermal efficiency by increasing the turbulence effect of the surface area, the interaction between the fluid and the absorber plate with the staggered conical springs. The performance of the systems was tested experimentally. In the experiments, inlet and outlet temperature of the collectors, global radiation, the exit velocity of air from the collectors, the absorber plate temperatures, backside surface temperature and transparent cover temperatures were measured. The thermal efficiency was calculated based on the measurements. Consisting of the fuzzy logic model of the system with the experimental data obtained, the outlet air temperature of the collector and thermal efficiency is modeled based on the input parameters according to three different membership functions (Triangle- Gaussian-Trapeze). As a result, it is concluded that the model based on the triangular membership function with fuzzy logic is 96% for the outlet temperature and 94-95% for the thermal efficiency.

Objective: The study aims to describe and analyze the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of persons aged ≥45 years in the canton of Bern, Switzerland.
Material and Methods: Community dwellers were recruited by random sampling from the canton of Bern. Data were collected by a questionnaire (demographic factors, medical history, oral health behavior, dental patient-reported outcomes [dPROs]) and a clinical examination (dental caries, periodontal disease, oral hygiene, mastication). dPROs were evaluated using the OHRQoL-questionnaire Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index with items related to four domains: functional limitations, pain and discomfort, psychological impact, behavioral impact. χ2 tests, Cochrane Armitage trend tests and binary logistic regression were performed with P < 0.05 statistical significance.
Results: The highest prevalence (199/44%, n [total] = 275 participants) of reported problems was observed in the psychological impact domain. Binary logistic regression shows that participants with rheumatoid arthritis (odds ratio [OR] = 4.86, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.70–13.87) and chewing deficiencies (OR 28.43, 95% CI = 2.11–382.68) had higher odds of having functional limitations, while participants with bleeding gums (OR = 1.69, 95% CI = 1.02–2.81) had higher odds of experiencing pain and discomfort. Participants with depression had higher odds of having pain and discomfort (OR = 2.44, 95% CI = 1.03–5.81), suffering a behavioral impact (OR 5.89, 95% CI = 1.57–22.20) and a low OHRQoL (OR = 2.33, 95% CI = 0.09–0.58). 
Conclusions: The study shows that poor oral hygiene, high DMFT, chewing deficiency, rheumatoid arthritis, and depression are associated with low OHRQoL.
Optimization and Modelling for the Remediation of Brilliant Green Dye and Ni2+ ions from Water Using Advanced gC3N4/PVA@ Alginate Bio-Polymeric Hydrogel Beads
Authors: EA* Motawea
Published: January 2025

This work offers an innovative technique for creating a ternary composite adsorbent material using ultrasonic synthesis
that consists of exfoliated graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets, polyvinyl alcohol, and alginate beads. FTIR, FE-SEM-Mapping,
XPS analysis, and X-ray diffraction were among the characterizations that verified the ternary composite beads's successful
synthesis and structure. Nickel ion removal and brilliant green (BG) dye adsorption from an aqueous solution were examined
using the ternary composite beads' adsorption capabilities, and the influence of pH and the adsorbate's dose was assessed
and optimized with response surface methodology (RSM). According to the data, the sorption phenomena are dependent
on both the starting concentration of Ni2+ & BG dye and pH, with a maximal sorption capacity of 56.8 and 52.2 mg/g for
BG dye and Ni2+ ions, respectively, at 318K. The Langmuir sorption model provides a good description of the chemisorption
process that eliminates Ni2+ ions & BG dye, which follows pseudo-second-order kinetics. Additionally, a tenable mechanism
for the adsorption of Ni2+ ions & BG dye onto the surface of gC3N4/PVA@ alginate ternary composite beads is proposed. More
importantly, without exhibiting any discernible decrease in sorption ability, gC3N4/PVA@ alginate beads frequently used at
least five cycles and showed remarkable regeneration ability. The characteristics of the ternary beads and their synthesis
method offer a cost-effective and feasible wastewater remediation option.
Novel Porous Polymers as Flame Retardant and Gas Separation Materials
Authors:   , Wu Yue
Published: January 2025

Nowadays, polymer materials have permeated every aspect of our daily life, bringing not only convenience but also fire hazards. The limiting oxygen index of most polymer materials is lower than 21, that means they are flammable or combustible in air. A large amount of toxic and corrosive smoke and gas are released during combustion, that pose a big threat to people's safety and cause environmental pollution. Therefore, the development of flame retardant materials has attracted the attention of researchers around the world. This project aims to develop novel PIM-based flame retardant additives. Specifically, we designed three series of PIM materials. The first discussion chapter includes the preparation of boroxine and boronic ester-based PIMs. We verified the feasibility of boroxine network polymerisation and its satisfactory thermal decomposition behaviour. Boronic ester-PIMs containing different contorted units were synthesized using two different heating devices and compared in terms of purity, thermal stability and porosity, especially to understand if porosity influences the flame retardation capability. It was shown that their thermal properties meet the requirements of standard flame retardant additives. The second series shows PIMs composed of hexaphenylbenzene core units and Tröger’s Base linkages with different C/N ratios and porosities, as it is known that increasing the amount of N per repeat unit improves the thermal stability. It was confirmed that these polymers have excellent thermal properties, which can be enhanced by increasing their functionality, i.e., improving their content of nitrogen and porosity. In the third series, cyclophosphazene was polymerised respectively with catechols and amines using two heating methods. This is a very challenging and new method to make phosphorous-containing PIMs. Two catechol-based polymers were successfully obtained and exhibited desirable thermal decomposition behaviours. The preparation of the amine-based polymer was preliminarily explored as well. Furthermore, the performance of the novel PIMs from series 1 and 2 in gas separation was also investigated. (Polymers from series 3 were excluded due to their low specific surface areas.) The results also indicated that the high heteroatom content, specific surface area and narrow microporosity helped to improve both the CO2 uptake and CO2/N2 selectivity of the materials.
