Sleep and spatial memory: Mechanisms, relationships, applications, and potential
Authors: Fan Yuanxi
Published: March 2024

More and more attention is being paid to the study of sleep and memory because of the immense potential the field has to offer, with the majority of studies focusing on episodic and procedural memory. However, another type of declarative memory spatial memory is relatively lesser-known. This review discusses the scientific community's current understanding of spatial memory and its relationship with sleep using both animal and human studies as examples, exploring, in particular, existing knowledge on spatial memory, whether sleep can affect spatial memory, the nature of such a relationship, and cellular mechanisms. The discussion then moves onto some potential applications of recent findings, including actions that researchers have already taken to better incorporate the enhancing properties of sleep on spatial memory into solutions for clinical problems. The review also points out future directions for research, considering the uncertainties in sleep and memory research and the significance of investigating such topics.

Authors: Wang Cancan
Published: March 2024

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have garnered significant attention for their potential applications in cancer therapy. This study developed a novel formulation of AuNPs, named AuX2R, utilizing surface modification techniques to enhance biocompatibility and targeting capabilities for cancer treatment. The innovation of AuX2R lies in its simultaneous surface modification with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and lipidized peptides (pepducin), aimed at improving stability and cancer cell specificity. The study compared the stability of three different formulations of AuNPs in various solutions, indicating that PEGylation significantly increased nanoparticle stability, while the incorporation of pepducin enhanced their internalization and targeting towards cancer cells. This research not only provided a detailed analysis of the physicochemical properties and stability of the novel AuNPs but also investigated their internalization in prostate cancer cells, presenting new strategies for cancer therapy.
Research and future directions of HPV-related vaccines
Authors: Wu Xiaofei
Published: March 2024

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a major cause of cervical lesions such as cervical cancer in women. Prophylactic vaccines developed against HPV have been widely used, but these vaccines are only effective against certain types of HPV and do not work in people who are already infected. Therefore, the development of therapeutic vaccines is also particularly important. The use of the modified poxvirus (MVA) as a vector for HPV vaccinations has garnered attention in recent years. It has been found that modified poxvirus vaccines are able to combat human papillomavirus infection and have significant safety and efficacy profiles. Based on the study of the distribution of HPV types in different regions and populations, this paper finds that there are differences in the prevalence of high-risk HPV subtypes in different regions, and that a large number of infected people need more effective treatments. At the same time, by comparing the advantages and disadvantages of preventive and therapeutic vaccines, we recognize that both have roles that cannot be replaced by the other in the task of fighting HPV, and that the two vaccines need to be developed together and complement each other in order to minimize the harm of HPV. Based on these findings, this paper provides a constructive reference for future targeted prevention and treatment of HPV in different regions of the world with different HPV distributions.

Research on the application of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology in traditional Chinese medicine
Authors: Hu Yang
Published: March 2024

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is the collective term for the medical practices of all ethnic groups in China (both Han Chinese and ethnic minorities), reflecting the Chinese understanding of life, health, and illness over thousands of years. In addition, traditional herbal medicine has demonstrated its effectiveness in treating complex diseases that have challenged modern Western medicine, such as the use of Artemisia annua extracts to treat malaria, preparations based on traditional Chinese pharmacology to combat large-scale influenza outbreaks, and herbal preparations as an adjunctive therapy to cancer treatment. Currently, the development of traditional Chinese medicine is facing problems such as the loss of prescription knowledge and the degradation of the quality of cultivated species of herbs. This paper uses a literature review to analyze the application of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology in medicinal plants. It also proposes directions that can solve the challenges facing traditional Chinese medicine based on the arrangement of existing literature, and foresees the future application of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology in medicinal plant editing.

Published: March 2024

Introduction:

Total joint arthroplasties (TJAs) have recently been shifting toward outpatient arthroplasty. This study aims to explore recent trends in outpatient total joint arthroplasty (TJA) procedures and examine whether patients with a higher comorbidity burden are undergoing outpatient arthroplasty.

Methods:

Medicare fee-for-service claims were screened for patients who underwent total hip, knee, or shoulder arthroplasty procedures between January 2019 and December 2022. The procedure was considered to be outpatient if the patient was discharged on the same date of the procedure. The Hierarchical Condition Category Score (HCC) and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) scores were used to assess patient comorbidity burden. Patient adverse outcomes included all-cause hospital readmission, mortality, and postoperative complications. Logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate if higher HCC/CCI scores were associated with adverse patient outcomes.

Results:

A total of 69,520, 116,411, and 41,922 respective total knee, hip, and shoulder arthroplasties were identified, respectively. Despite earlier removal from the inpatient-only list, outpatient knee and hip surgical volume did not markedly increase until the pandemic started. By 2022Q4, 16%, 23%, and 36% of hip, knee, and shoulder arthroplasties were discharged on the same day of surgery, respectively. Both HCC and CCI risk scores in outpatients increased over time (P < 0.001).

Discussion:

TJA procedures are shifting toward outpatient surgery over time, largely driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. TJA outpatients' HCC and CCI risk scores increased over this same period, and additional research to determine the effects of this should be pursued.

Level of evidence:

Level III, therapeutic retrospective cohort study.
Ultranationalism and Ultra-Orthodoxy: The Case of Shas
Authors: Leon Nissim
Published: March 2024

Israeli scholarship has noted the prominence of hawkish and ultranationalist views among the Shas electorate, as well as the structural and historical conditions responsible for them. Attention has not, however, been paid to the contexts and the ways in which Mizrahi-Haredi discourse processes these views in its encounter with this population. The present article looks at one of the main components of the relationship between Shas and its supporters in Israel’s social periphery – the teshuva movement. Fieldwork on the discourse of local teshuva preachers shows that they have used the ultranationalist message to illustrate the importance of adhering to Jewish religious tradition and relying on its rabbinical authorities. A complex and fluid version of religious ultranationalism was detected as well, one that demands communal separation but is not, however, averse to cultural interaction between Jews and Arabs.
“On the Side of the Good”: Political Alliances of Religious Zionists and Israeli Conservatism in the Quest to Hegemony
Authors: Miller Mordy , Katsman Hayim
Published: March 2024

This article discusses the recent political alliance between IC and the “Hardal” (acronym for Haredi-Dati-Leumi, meaning Ultra-Orthodox-Religious-Zionists) followers of Rabbi Zvi Thau. This new cooperation is surprising, due to Thau’s tendency to criticize groups that do not adhere to his strict interpretation of Judaism. In this article we analyze the recent developments within Thau’s circle, and determine that this cooperation is a consequence of a unique interpretation of a spiritual state of emergency. We conclude by analyzing the circumstances in which IC was formed, as a lesson religious Zionists took from the 2005 disengagement from Gaza plan. The article demonstrates that IC intentionally intended to enable the creation of this sort of political alliance.

Published: March 2024

In the context of Vietnam's strong economic development and increasing demand for healthcare, enhancing healthcare infrastructure and addressing the issue of overcrowding in public hospitals has become a crucial government objective. This study focuses on identifying the factors influencing cost escalation in public hospital construction projects funded by public investment. The research applies a non-probability sampling method, using convenient sampling and Referral/Snowball sampling techniques. A total of 120 individuals participated in the study, including investors, project managers, design and construction contractors, subcontractors, and relevant suppliers. The study's findings have identified and ranked the ten most significant factors affecting cost escalation in public hospital projects. These factors include inadequate functional design, inadequate functional design, delay in disbursing public investment capital, unforeseeable events, design errors leading to repetitive construction, impact of exchange rate fluctuations on imported medical equipment, unfavorable weather conditions during construction, delay in providing adjusted contract prices or approving adjusted investment amounts, complex geological conditions, and use of estimated quantity estimates in bidding when design is incomplete. The results of this research contribute significantly to the management of construction costs in public hospitals, particularly in the context of public investment funding.
Influence of moisture states of recycled sand from construction sites on mechanical strengths of cement-based mortar
Authors: Hung  , Bui Phuong Trinh , Lai Tang Linh Khang
Published: March 2024

This study focuses on investigating the influence of moisture states of recycled sand (RS) from construction sites on properties of cement-based mortars. The major goal of this study was to utilize the amount of RS as a waste at the construction sites, as well as to reduce the burden on natural sand extraction and to save the construction cost. The use of RS as a partial replacement for natural river sand (NS) at various percentages (0% and 50% by mass of fine aggregate) was employed. Various investigations of properties including consistency of fresh mortar, compressive and flexural strengths of hardened mortar specimens, were conducted. The two moisture states for both sands were saturated surface dry (SSD) and dry state (DS). When increasing the percentages of RS replacement, regardless of the moisture states of sand, the results indicated that consistency of fresh mortar, compressive and flexural strengths at 28 days tended to decrease by 11.1–20.0%, 7.8–8.9%, and 7.4–13.8%, respectively. When compared with mortar using sand at DS state, the improvement of consistency, compressive and flexural strengths at 28 days of mortar using sand at SSD state was 20.0–33.3%, 72.2–74.3%, and 23.3–32.4%, respectively, depending on the type of sand (NS or RS). Furthermore, the correlation between compressive and flexural strengths of the mortar was linear. In conclusion, the replacement of NS by RS at 50% reduced the consistency and mechanical strengths of the cement-based mortar, while the use of RS in SSD state can be considered as an effective solution for enhancing the strengths of cement-based mortar compared to that in DS state.
Does the Size of Local Councils Affect Fiscal Expenditures?: An Empirical Analysis in Japan
Authors:   Center for Civic Politics Research, k Shin’ichi Ijima
Published: March 2024

This paper examines whether there exists an impact of the size of local councils on government spending in Japanese local governments. I focus on the fact that the maximum number of council members of municipal councils in Japan has been bound by law, and estimates this by RDD. Then, we examine the existence and positivity or negativity of the effect of council size. My estimation results show that an increase in council size leads to an increase in government spending for the “small and medium-sized groups,” while the opposite is true for the “medium and large groups. The author believes that the common pool problem of increasing government spending does not change with the size of the municipality. Therefore, the difference in the estimated results may be due to differences in the oversight function of councils. A result of this paper suggest that the size of local council members may contribute to the achievement of sound public finances.

We talk about the quantitative approach to computer architecture in this paper. We also go over Amdahl's Law, scalability, parallelism, and the principle of locality in relation to quantitative measurement. We also demystify computer architecture by focusing on smart technical design and cost- performance-power trade-offs. In the context of computer architecture, we think the field has continued to develop and move toward the exacting quantitative foundation of venerable scientific and technical disciplines. The pipelining principles in processor design are the focus of this study.The fundamentals of the instruction pipeline are covered, and an example-based explanation of how to reduce a pipeline delay is provided.The primary goal is to comprehend how a processor's pipeline functions.The different risks that lead to pipeline deterioration are described, along with ways to reduce them. Architecture-based development environments are emerging as a useful tool for building reliable distributed systems. By means of the abstract characterization of intricate software Software reuse and evolution are encouraged in terms of system topologies that involve the interface- level interaction of software parts. Furthermore, as evidenced by research findings in the field of software architecture, it becomes possible to offer formal annotations for the accurate characterization of configuration behavior together with related CASE tools for automated analysis. Nevertheless, while being essential to attaining software resilience, software fault tolerance—and specifically exception management in that context—has received little attention.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) have become a paramount concern in occupational health, significantly affecting the well-being and efficiency of laborers across diverse sectors. This research aims to investigate the effects of a community-based participatory educational program on enhancing knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) for preventing WMSD risks among rural workers in Phayao province, Thailand. A single-group quasi-experimental design was employed, with assessments conducted at the baseline (T1), post-program (T2), and follow-up post-program (T3) stages. The participants attended an eight-week educational program. Data collection tools included demographic characteristics, assessment of KAP related to WMSDs, and evaluation of WMSD risks. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and repeated-measures analysis of variance. In total, 90 participants were included in the study, with an average age of 47.6 ± 10.6 years. More than two-thirds of the participants were classified as general workers. The results indicated a significant increase in knowledge scores, rising from 6.78 ± 1.59 at baseline to 9.56 ± 0.70 post-program and maintaining at 8.59 ± 1.06 after follow-up (p-value < 0.001, η2 = 0.681). Attitude scores also demonstrated a significant improvement, increasing from 36.43 ± 6.92 to 46.66 ± 1.94 post-program and remaining at 45.97 ± 2.05 after follow-up (p-value < 0.001, η2 = 0.674). Practice scores witnessed a substantial increase from 19.31 ± 6.49 at baseline to 38.54 ± 1.18 post-program, maintaining at 37.79 ± 1.34 after follow-up (p-value < 0.001, η2 = 0.881). Furthermore, the results indicated a notable decrease in WMSD risks post-program intervention, sustained after follow-up. The study suggests that integrating a community-based educational program successfully enhanced participants’ KAP related to WMSD risks. These findings provide valuable insights to the expanding body of evidence, offering pertinent information for policymakers.

Generative AI in the Era of Transformers: Revolutionizing Natural Language Processing with LLMs
Authors: Yadav Archna Balkrishna
Published: March 2024

The advent of Transformer models is a transformational change in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), where technologies are becoming rather human-like in understanding and mirroring human language. This paper highlights the impact of Generative AI, specifically the Large Language Models such as GPT, on NLP. The analysis presents the prototypical units fuelling Transformer architectures, with attention given to their applications for complex language tasks and advantages from the angle of efficiency and scalability. However, the evidence highlights substantial progress in MT, text summarization, and SA versus the baseline NLP models. This work, therefore, emphasizes the key role of using a Transformer-based LLM system as a means to grow the NLP field and can lay the foundations for developing more natural and intuitive human-computer interactions.

The Politics and Policies of Climate Change in Brazil: mapping out the field
Authors: Milani Carlos R.S. , Doctor Mahrukh
Published: March 2024

Climate issues have altered power relations and become a political problem in the field of political science and international relations. Since the 1980s, climate debates have problematized and contributed to redefine the boundaries between national and international politics, hierarchies between economic and environmental priorities, and connections between human and natural dimensions, thus intervening in the definition of modes of regulation and conflict resolution nationally and globally. Therefore, climate change has also led to debates on the role of the State, international organizations, economic operators, corporations, and CSOs. Climate change has become a fundamental issue in the contemporary world, in all dimensions of social life, from local to global, affecting the way knowledge is produced and taught in various disciplines, including political science and international relations. This article introduces the Special Issue on ‘The Politics and Policies of Climate Change in Brazil’, addressing the subject from the perspective of political science, political sociology and international relations.

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o impacto das tecnologias educacionais no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. No contexto atual, em que a tecnologia está cada vez mais presente no cotidiano dos estudantes, é fundamental explorar seu potencial no ambiente educacional. Inicialmente, discute-se a relevância das tecnologias no contexto educacional, enfatizando seu papel como ferramenta de apoio ao ensino e como facilitadora da construção do conhecimento. Além disso, são abordados os desafios enfrentados na implementação das tecnologias nas escolas, como a infraestrutura adequada e a formação docente. Para ilustrar os benefícios proporcionados pelas tecnologias educacionais, são apresentados exemplos de aplicação em sala de aula, como o uso de softwares educativos, aplicativos móveis e recursos digitais interativos. Nesse contexto, destaca-se a possibilidade de personalização do ensino, atendendo às necessidades individuais dos estudantes. Também são exploradas as transformações nos papéis dos professores e alunos, ressaltando a importância do docente como mediador do processo de aprendizagem e do aluno como agente ativo na construção do conhecimento. No entanto, é necessário considerar as limitações e desafios do uso das tecnologias educacionais, como a dependência excessiva, a desigualdade de acesso e a necessidade de uma abordagem crítica e reflexiva no uso dessas ferramentas. Por fim, são apresentadas reflexões sobre as oportunidades e desafios do uso das tecnologias educacionais, com o objetivo de promover uma educação mais dinâmica, participativa e eficaz no século XXI.

O câncer de colo uterino é uma das causas de morte prematura em mulheres, alcançando a terceira posição da morbimortalidade feminina, no Brasil, sendo um desafio para a saúde pública, por ser uma doença prevenível, curável e de fácil diagnóstico, além de estadiamento lento. Contudo, grande parte dos casos dessa neoplasia são detectados tardiamente, promovendo enorme impacto socioeconômico no país. O objetivo desta revisão é identificar e mapear quais as tecnologias utilizadas por enfermeiros nas consultas de enfermagem ginecológicas para a prevenção e o rastreamento do câncer cervicouterino que auxiliam na tomada de decisão na Atenção Primária à Saúde. O protocolo foi desenvolvido com base nas recomendações metodológicas atualizadas do Joana Briggs Institute (JBI) Scoping Review Methodololy Group, alinhadas com a estratégia Prisma Extension For Scoping Reviews. Adotaram-se como estratégia de busca os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS/MeSH), associados aos identificadores booleanos AND/OR, nas bases de dados: Medline (via PubMed), Lilacs (via Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde), Embase (via Elsevier) e Scopus (via Portal Capes). Com o estabelecimento desse protocolo, torna-se possível o direcionamento de uma scoping review, identificando as lacunas do conhecimento.
