Sulfanilic acid (SNA) and trimethoprim (TMP) cure bacterial and urinary tract infections. Molecular features like binding sites, electronic states, chemical reactivity, optical properties, and FTIR spectra have been estimated computationally. Sulfonamides and metal-sulfonamide complexes have many medicinal applications. Chemistry researchers and students use ChemOffice to create and use chemical papers and databases. The modules include ChemDraw Ultra, Chem3D Ultra, E-Notebook Ultra, ChemFinder, CombiChem, Inventory, and Bioassay. ChemDraw edits chemicals two-dimensionally. Pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and potency must interact for successful medications. Compound absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) are defined by its pharmacokinetic profile. Molecular docking predicts the preferred binding orientation of molecules in stable complexes, enabling structure-based medication development. Drug development must balance pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety by optimizing drug-like properties. Drug efficacy depends on pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and potency. In general, Overtone's notion and Tweedy's chelation hypothesis explain vanadium ligand complexes' improved actions. Chelation reduces the polarity of the metal ion due to the partial sharing of its positive charge with donor groups and p-electron delocalization on the whole chelating ring. Increased lipophilicity helps complexes penetrate lipid membranes and block all microorganism enzyme metal binding sites. These complexes disrupt respiration and impede protein synthesis, limiting organism growth. While optimal binding qualities of a new medicine to the therapeutic target are important, reaching the target site in adequate concentrations to deliver the physiological effect safely is critical for clinic introduction.
The Stagnation of the Islamic Women's Organization Movement in the Swirl of Gender Stereotypes: Social Contribution in the Midst of Political Change
Authors: LESTARI SOETJI , PRATIWI OKTAFIANI CATUR
Published: July 2024

Examining Muslimat Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in Banyumas Regency, this study looks at how Islamic women's organizations have stagnated in Indonesia in the face of shifting political environments and enduring gender norms. Although these groups make important societal contributions, they face challenges in extending their impact beyond conventional gender norms. The research seeks to examine the role of gender stereotypes on the activities and political involvement of Muslimat NU, with a focus on the conflict between their societal effects and their constrained political power. The study utilized a qualitative methodology, involving in-depth interviews with 20 leaders and members of Muslimat NU, three focus group discussions, and thorough review of relevant documents for a period of six months. The findings indicate that the programs of Muslimat NU primarily strengthen conventional gender norms, with a particular emphasis on education, healthcare, and social welfare. Although these programs fulfill important community needs, they unintentionally reinforce gender stereotypes, which restricts the organization's ability to challenge established power dynamics. Although Muslimat NU has a large number of members, their involvement in politics is limited due to internal hesitations and external patriarchal restrictions. This study enhances our comprehension of the intricate dynamics between religious identity, gender norms, and political engagement in countries where Muslims form the majority. It sheds light on the difficulties encountered by women's organizations in converting social connections into political power.

Published: July 2024

Aiming at the special characteristics of tunnel spatial environment and the problems of confusing smoke and fire in tunnel fires with high real-time detection requirements, an improved algorithm for tunnel smoke and fire detection based on YOLOv5s is proposed. The Focus module is replaced by a convolutional layer, the number of convolutions in B_CSP is reduced, and the spatial pyramid pooling structure SPP is replaced by SPPF, which reduces the number of parameters in the network and improves the detection efficiency of the model. In order to better optimize the anchoring frame, the dynamic, non-monotonically focused Wise-IOU bounding box loss function is used to replace the GIOU, which speeds up the convergence of the network and improves the accuracy of network detection. The CA attention mechanism is incorporated at the end of the Backbone layer to dynamically adjust the importance between channels, which enables the model to better capture the flame features in the image and improve the model performance. The experiments use 2050 tunnel smoke and fire datasets as training samples, and the experimental results show that the accuracy of the improved model on the dataset is increased by 3.2 percentage points, and the network model can achieve 98.9% precision and 95.1% recall as well as 99.2% average precision by testing the network model on the dataset, and the detection speed is increased to 148 FPS. It can meet the real-time prevention and detection of tunnel fire in daytime, nighttime or poor vision, and has good accuracy and robustness.

Echi diderotiani fin de siècle. La controversia tra Coquelin, Irving, Salvini sull’arte dell’attore
Authors: Lepore Ilaria ,   Università Roma La Sapienza
Published: July 2024

Tra il 1880 e il 1910, si accende in Europa un dibattito critico intorno al Paradoxe diderotiano, che, tralasciando le riflessioni filosofiche cui pure Diderot aveva sottomesso la sua teoria della recitazione e passando nelle mani degli attori (C. Coquelin e H. Irving, specialmente) interessa essenzialmente la dimensione della tecnica. Uno dei contributi più interessanti della controversia è dell’attore italiano Tommaso Salvini, che nel dicembre 1890 pubblica un articolo, Some Views on Acting, sulla rivista americana “The Century”, la cui traduzione italiana appare, pochi mesi dopo, sulla rivista “L'illustrazione italiana” col titolo Una questione d'arte drammatica. Le riflessioni pubbliche che questi attori affidano alla stampa sullo sfondo di una crescente mondializzazione culturale, oltre ad avere il merito di contribuire a una riscoperta del testo diderotiano, rispondono a un’esigenza di legittimazione (o autonomizzazione) in ambito socio-culturale, e valgono come tentativi di costruire una precisa autorialità, la messa a punto di una poetica attoriale ove si incrociano invenzione artistica e riflessione critica.

¿En verdad hay uno bueno y uno malo? Conceptos actuales del metabolismo del colesterol
Authors: Torre Villalvazo Ivan
Published: July 2024

El colesterol es un lípido fundamental para el organismo ya que es el precursor de todas las hormonas esteroideas y al formar las sales biliares permite la absorción intestinal de los lípidos de la dieta. Por esa razón, el organismo requiere un aporte continuo de colesterol, el cual podemos obtener de la dieta o sintetizarlo a partir de otros nutrimentos. El metabolismo del colesterol en los diferentes órganos es regulado a nivel transcripcional por los factores de transcripción LXR, FXR, SREBP2 y PPARα, los cuales controlan la absorción intestinal y la síntesis hepática de colesterol, así como su transporte en las lipoproteínas y su eliminación en la bilis. Sin embargo, una alteración en este sistema de control resulta en el incremento en la síntesis endógena de colesterol y en la reducción en su captura y eliminación. La elevación en el contenido de colesterol circulante favorece su oxidación en las lipoproteínas de baja densidad y su captura por macrófagos en el endotelio vascular, lo cual da origen a la ateroesclerosis y enfermedad coronaria. La dieta tiene un impacto importante en el metabolismo del colesterol. Por un lado, la fibra dietaria captura el colesterol y ácidos biliares dentro del lumen del intestino, reduciendo su absorción. Otro mecanismo involucra la competencia de algunas moléculas de los alimentos con los metabolitos del colesterol por la unión al sitio activo de las enzimas, modulando la velocidad de las rutas metabólicas. Finalmente, los compuestos con actividad biológica como el β-sitoesterol, la genisteína, las catequinas y la naringenina, son capaces de activar de manera directa algunos receptores nucleares que regulan el metabolismo de colesterol, modulando su acción. Entender los mecanismos moleculares que regulan el transporte y metabolismo de colesterol en los diferentes órganos permitirá desarrollar estrategias farmacológicas e incluso aproximaciones no farmacológicas, como la dieta para evitar las enfermedades cardiovasculares.
Theoretical Origins, Generative Logic, and Spiritual Traits of Xi Jinping’s Ideology on the Rule of Law
Authors: Wang Yali
Published: July 2024

At a time when the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century, Xi Jinping’s Ideology on the Rule of Law has been formed as a major theoretical achievement in order to build a modern socialist country governed by the rule of law and a new form of Chinese-style modern human civilization. The Marxist rule of law theory is the theoretical origin of Xi Jinping’s Ideology on the Rule of Law. The traditional philosophical thoughts of Confucianism and Legalism in traditional Chinese legal culture, as well as the accumulation of legal practice and excellent cultural traditions of ancient Chinese dynasties have created the cultural roots of Xi Jinping’s Ideology on the Rule of Law. The Communist Party of China’s more than one hundred years of exploration in leading the construction of the rule of law has laid a practical foundation for it. The organic unity of “people first” and “rule of law” thinking in Xi Jinping’s Ideology on the Rule of Law demonstrates the theoretical background, the Marxist view of human rights, the view of the rule of law and the “two combinations”. The integrated combination highlights the theoretical penetration of Xi Jinping’s Ideology on the Rule of Law. In-depth study and implementation of Xi Jinping’s Ideology on the Rule of Law has important value and connotation of the times.

Africanos e afrodescendentes na metrópole portuguesa (século XX): regresso ao “arquivo imperial”
Authors: CLÁUDIA CASTELO
Published: July 2024

RESUMO: Pouco se sabe sobre os africanos e afrodescendentes que viviam em Portugal no período que medeia entre o fim da escravatura e a independência das colónias portuguesas em África. Nestas notas de pesquisa, apresento um breve balanço da produção científica sobre a presença africana em Portugal em perspetiva histórica, para evidenciar o hiato que subsiste relativamente àquele período. Depois, identifico fontes impressas que podemos mobilizar e caminhos imprevistos no “arquivo imperial” que podemos seguir, para dar visibilidade aos habitantes, naturais e nacionais de origem africana no país e, em particular, em Lisboa. Concluo que uma história social das pessoas negras na metrópole imperial está ainda por fazer e exige criatividade heurística e metodológica, mas poderá também contribuir para desmistificar a homologia equívoca entre africano/negro e imigrante/estrangeiro na sociedade portuguesa.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Africanos; afrodescendentes; arquivo imperial; história contemporânea; Portugal
ABSTRACT: Little is known about Africans and Afro-descendants who lived in Portugal in the period between the end of slavery and the independence of Portuguese colonies in Africa. In this research notes, I present a brief overview of the scholarship on the African presence in Portugal in historical perspective, to highlight the gap that remains in relation to the abovementioned period. Then, I identify printed sources and unforeseen paths on the “imperial archive” to shed light on the inhabitants, naturals and nationals of African origin in the country and, in particular, in Lisbon. I conclude that a social history of Black lives in the imperial metropolis is not yet written and requires heuristic and methodological creativity. It may also contribute to demystify the equivocal homology between African/Black and immigrant/foreigner in Portuguese society.
KEYWORDS: Africans; Afro-descendents; imperial archive; modern history; Portugal
