Published: December 2023

Background: Hereditary hearing loss (HHL) accounts for approximately 50-60% of all hearing loss (HL) cases, highlighting the significant role genetics play in this condition. HHL can be mostly classified into two main forms: syndromic and non-syndromic. Of these, non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is the most prevalent, contributing to over 70% of HHL cases. The hearing process involves a complex interplay of various components inside the ear, working together to convert sound waves into comprehensible signals for the brain. Non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is known for its extraordinary diversity and complexity, influenced by a vast array of genes, with more than 120 identified thus far. These genes can be categorized into distinct functional groups, encompassing cochlear ion homeostasis, hair bundle development and cell adhesion, synaptic transmission, transcriptional regulation, and mitochondrial function. The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has been instrumental in unraveling the genetic underpinnings of NSHL. Among NGS techniques, whole exome sequencing (WES) appeared as a revolutionary advancement, outperforming other approaches like targeted panel sequencing and whole-genome sequencing in terms of cost-effectiveness and efficiency. WES not only aids in deciphering the genetic basis of hearing loss but also offers the potential to revolutionize patient care and diagnosis. It paves the way for a new era for precision medicine in the realm of hearing loss, promising more accurate and tailored treatments for affected individuals. This transformative approach is poised to bring about substantial advancements in our understanding of hereditary hearing loss and its clinical management.
Biogeographical diet variation within and between the rabbitfishes Siganus corallinus, Siganus virgatus, Siganus doliatus and the endemic Siganus trispilos
Authors: Zarco-Perello Salvador , Hoey Andrew , Martin Storm
Published: December 2023

Feeding habits of herbivorous fish play an important role in the form and function of coastal marine ecosystems. Rabbitfishes (Siganidae) have been recognized as important consumers of macroalgae in the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific region. However, it is unclear how their diet varies among and within species at biogeographical scales. The present study assessed the inter- and intra-specific diet variation of rabbitfishes (Siganus trispilos, Siganus coralinus, Siganus virgatus, and Siganus doliatus) factored by phylogenetic and morphological relatedness among populations from Ningaloo (western Australia), the Great Barrier Reef (GBR, eastern Australia) and Okinawa (Japan). Results showed a strong effect in diet by geographic distribution, effectively reducing the expected effect of phylogenetic and morphologic relatedness. While intra-specific differences were only significant when populations inhabited different regions as expected; inter-specific differences were not as predicted, with different morphotypes (non-sister species) having similar diets when populations inhabited the same regions. Differences were driven by higher consumption of corticated and filamentous macroalgae by populations from the GBR, higher consumption of foliose and membranous macroalgae by rabbitfishes in Okinawan reefs and higher diet proportions of leathery macroalgae in populations from Ningaloo reefs. The findings indicate that rabbitfishes possess a relatively high diet plasticity, potentially driven by regional differences in algal resources, and hence their functional role as mediators of competition between macroalgae and corals can change across biogeographic regions. This highlights the importance of considering local context when assessing the diet of herbivorous fishes to know their functional role in the ecosystem accurately. As climate change unfolds, shifts in the distribution, trophic behaviour and function of species are expected, making the study of trophic plasticity more crucial.

Published: December 2023

Obat merupakan input penting dalam pelayanan kesehatan. Bila obat tidak tersedia, dapat berpengaruh negatif terhadap hasil terapi pasien. Tujuan penelitian observasional ini adalah untuk mengetahui proses pengadaan obat puskesmas di Jakarta, yang seluruhnya berstatus Badan Layanan Umum Daerah, guna memetakan permasalahan dan upaya penyelesaiannya. Data primer diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam dan focus group discussion dengan Apoteker dan Pejabat Pembuat Komitmen dari 20 puskesmas yang mewakili 5 kotamadya, ditambah 1 puskesmas Kepulauan Seribu, menggunakan 20 jenis obat indikator yang 4 di antaranya adalah obat antihipertensi. Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan pada Januari sampai Maret 2019 ini menunjukkan bahwa dari 21 puskesmas yang melakukan pengadaan e-Purchasing, 11 puskesmas berhasil; 3 puskesmas gagal namun menindaklanjuti melalui pengadaan langsung; dan 10 puskesmas lainnya yang gagal tanpa menindaklanjuti, sehingga terjadi kekosongan obat antihipertensi. Puskesmas yang memenuhi kebutuhan obat ditemukan memiliki apoteker penanggung jawab pengadaan obat. Pada puskesmas yang terjadi kekosongan obat, apoteker yang ada tidak diberi peran dalam pengadaan obat, kondisi tersebut berdampak pada rerata proporsi rujukan pasien hipertensi yang mencapai 12%, atau 4 kali lipat dari puskesmas yang memenuhi kebutuhan obat, yaitu 3%. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pelaksanaan pengadaan obat JKN di puskesmas di Jakarta masih mengalami hambatan, yang memerlukan dukungan peraturan pengadaan BLUD dan peran apoteker dalam pengadaan obat.

Emeğin Mülkiyeti: Locke, Proudhon ve Marx’ın Gözünden Mülkiyet Kavramı
Authors: ÇAVUŞOĞLU Alper
Published: December 2023

Mülkiyet iktisadi hayatın merkezinde yer alan, bu nedenle çokça tartışılmış bir kavramdır. Bu tartışmaların amaçlarından birisi, toplum içerisinde gözlemlenen mülkiyet olgusunun felsefi dayanaklarını bulmaktır. John Locke, mülkiyet hakkının yaşama hakkından doğduğunu ve emek aracılığıyla gerçekleştirildiğini ortaya atarak, mülkiyetin dayanaklarına dair modern yorumu yapmış ve mülkiyeti hakların merkezine yerleştirmiştir. Buna karşılık olarak Proudhon, emek ile mülkiyet arasında böyle bir ilişki kurulamayacağını iddia ederek mülkiyeti “hırsızlık” olarak nitelemiş ve mülkiyet yerine zilyetliği yaşama hakkının kullanılması için elzem görmüştür. Marx ise, yaşamak için gerçekleştirilmesi gereken üretimden doğan mülkiyet ile burjuva özel mülkiyeti arasına bir çizgi çekerek burjuva özel mülkiyetinin oluşumundaki emek sömürüsü olgusuna dikkat çekmiş ve burjuva özel mülkiyetinin kaldırılması gerektiğini savunmuştur. Farklılıklarına rağmen üç düşünürün de emek kavramına merkezi önem atfettiğini söylemek mümkündür. Elinizde bulunan makalede, bu üç düşünürün gerek kendi görüşlerine gerekse de birbirlerine eleştirilerine yer verilmiş, sonrasında emek ve mülkiyet arasındaki ilişkinin 21. yüzyılda değişen görünümleriyle birlikte eleştirel bir incelemesinin yeniden yapılması gerekliliği ortaya konmuştur.

Published: December 2023

A variety of soil- and air-borne pathogens can attack faba bean plants, leading to rust and chocolate spot diseases that seriously affect plant yield. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of certain essential oils as abiotic agents and biotic agents as safe alternatives to fungicides for both diseases. Double foliar applications of these essential oils and biotic agents significantly reduced the development of faba bean rust and chocolate spot incidence. The highest reduction in faba bean rust (92.7%) was achieved after spraying with jojoba oil, followed by 88.9% and 85.3% for grape and bitter orange oils, respectively. Furthermore, biotic inducers such as Bacillus subtilis, Trichoderma harzianum, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae reduced chocolate spot incidence by 100.0%, followed by a 72.3% reduction with bitter orange, thyme, black seed, and jojoba oils. The second foliar treatment with B. subtilis, T. harzianum, black seed oil, jojoba oil, and chitosan increased faba bean protein contents more than the first treatment. Individual foliar sprays with chitosan and grape oils enhanced catalase (CAT) specific activity, with the highest levels achieved after the first and second foliar applications, respectively. S. cerevisiae and lemongrass oil induced the highest peroxidase (POD) specific activity after both spray applications. Black seed oil induced the highest chitinase (CHIA) specific activity after the first foliar application, while lemongrass oil achieved the highest level after the second spray. The second foliar application of moringa oil, black seed oil, jojoba oil, chitosan, B. subtilis, and S. cerevisiae stimulated the formation of new protein bands in treated faba bean plants, which were not found after the first application. Therefore, the abiotic and biotic agents used in this study could be considered good and safe alternatives for resistance against these foliar diseases, reducing the harmful effects of synthetic fungicides.

By gaining a deeper understanding of the bugs associated with agroecosystems, we can effectively identify both pests and beneficial species, thereby improving agricultural production. The findings of our study hold immense importance in implementing effective control measures. This paper aims to present a comprehensive checklist of bugs associated with agroecosystems in the north-west region of Morocco. Our study was conducted between the spring and summer of 2019 and 2020, encompassing three different crop fields that represent the major plant formations of the area, namely cereal, broad bean, and alfalfa fields. To ensure a thorough examination, we employed two distinct sampling techniques: mowing net and sight hunting. A total of 6 families of Hemiptera were identified: Reduviidae, Lygaeidae, Pentatomidae, Cercopidae, Scutelleridae, and Alydidae. The information presented in this paper serves as a valuable resource for future studies on Hemiptera associated with agroecosystems in Morocco. By harnessing this data, we can delve into the realm of potential control strategies and craft effective measures to tackle the challenges presented by these insects. This deeper understanding of the bugs within agroecosystems will serve as a catalyst for the development of sustainable and highly productive agricultural practices in Morocco.

Mango is one of the most important fruit crops all over the world. It is the second-most significant fruit crop in Pakistan. The standardization of irrigation needs for the mango crop is one of the primary and most crucial factors for reducing frost injury, improving fruit quality, and yield, which must be taken into account. Low moisture content in the soil increases the likelihood of frost injury, so it is essential to maintain an ideal amount of moisture to mitigate such damage. To conserve valuable irrigation water, apply water only during critical stages. Research was conducted at the Experimental Orchard of Makhdom Ahmad Aalam Anwar, Mohsin Abad, during 2020-21 and 2021-22. Mango trees of the Sindhri variety were of uniform age (20 years) for this experiment. The experimental layout was a randomized complete block design. Irrigation was applied to mango trees at three different moisture levels (35-40%, 30-35%, and 25-30%) that were measured and maintained via the HH2 Moisture Meter (Version 2.3). The mango trees showed good results at the 35-40% soil moisture level compared with the rest of the treatments, especially in terms of vegetative growth. Fruit size, yield per tree, and total soluble solids of the fruit were maximum in mango trees irrigated at 35-40%. Minimum frost incidence (21%) was observed at the 35-40% moisture level, while maximal damage by frost (37%) was noticed in plants subjected to the 25-30% moisture level. This study concludes that moisture level is more important for enhancing mango yield. It will be more supportive for future work on the impact of frost injury in the mango crop.

Modified pure-viscoacoustic wave propagation and compensated reverse-time migration in transversely isotropic media
Authors: Zhang Yabing , Chen Tongjun
Published: December 2023

Previous studies demonstrated that seismic attenuation and anisotropy can significantly affect the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of wavefields. If these effects are not incorporated into seismic migration, the resolution of the imaging results will be reduced. Considering the anisotropy of velocity and attenuation, we derive a new pure-viscoacoustic wave equation to simulate P wave propagation in transversely isotropic (TI) attenuating media by combining the complex dispersion relation and modified complex modulus. Compared to the conventional complex modulus, the modified modulus is derived from the optimized relationship between angular frequency and wavenumber, which can improve the modeling accuracy in strongly attenuating media. Wavefield comparisons illustrate that our pure-viscoacoustic wave equation can simulate stable P wavefields in complex geological structures without S-wave artifacts and generate similar P wave information to the pseudo-viscoacoustic wave equation. During the implementation, we introduce two low-rank decompositions to approximate the real and imaginary parts and then use the pseudo-spectral method to solve this new equation. Since the proposed equation can simulate decoupled amplitude attenuation and phase dispersion effects, it is used to perform Q-compensated reverse-time migration (Q-RTM). Numerical examples demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed method for pure-viscoacoustic wavefield simulations and migration imaging in transversely isotropic attenuating media.
Morphological awareness predicts reading comprehension in first grade students
Authors: Sparks Erin , Metsala Jamie L.
Published: December 2023

Research examining a role for morphological awareness in first grade students’ reading comprehension is scarce, although it is a well-established predictor for students in mid-to-late elementary school. One question that remains is whether morphological awareness explains unique variance in these young readers’ comprehension after accounting for other oral language skills. In this longitudinal study, we assessed Grade 1 students’ inflectional morphological awareness as a predictor of their concurrent (n = 58) and Grade 2 (n = 55) reading comprehension. When controlling for decoding and vocabulary, Grade 1 morphological awareness explained unique variance in concurrent and subsequent reading comprehension (4% and 5%, respectively). In novel analyses that controlled for decoding, vocabulary, and syntactic awareness, morphological awareness explained unique variance in Grade 2 reading comprehension (5%), but not in concurrent reading comprehension. This unique contribution only in second grade may be because decoding skills accounted for less of the overall variance in second than in first grade comprehension or due to the expectation that polymorphemic words are more frequent in second grade texts. Overall, morphological awareness emerged as the strongest oral language predictor in all models. These results support morphological awareness’ relevance to reading comprehension from early in children’s reading development and highlight the need for research to further explore the effects of targeting English morphological awareness with young students.
Comprehensive analysis of disulfidptosis-related lncRNA features for prognosis and immune landscape prediction in colorectal cancer

Published: December 2023

Disulfidptosis is a novel mechanism underlying actin-cytoskeleton-associated cell death, but its function in colorectal cancer (CRC) is still elusive. In this study, we investigated the potential role of Disulfidptosis-Related Long Non-Coding RNAs (DRLs) as prognostic indicators in CRC. Through transcriptome data from TCGA CRC cases, we identified 44 prognosis-correlated DRLs by Univariate Cox Regression Analysis and observed a differential expression pattern of these DRLs between CRC and normal tissues. Consensus clustering analysis based on DRL expression led to subgroup classification of CRC patients with distinct molecular fingerprints, accompanied by a superior survival outcome in cluster 2. We are encouraged to develop a score model incorporating 12 key DRLs to predict patient outcomes. Notably, this model displayed more reliable accuracy than other predictive indicators since DRLs are intimately related to tumor immune cell infiltration, suggesting a considerable potential of our DRL-score model for tumor therapy. Our data offered a valuable insight into the prognostic significance of DRLs in CRC and broke a new avenue for tumor prognosis prediction.

Introduction: Aflatoxins (AFT) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants that are extremely dangerous for both human beings as well as animals. A safe, effective, and considerate strategy is therefore credited with controlling AFT intoxication. Therefore, our study aimed to evaluate the mitigating properties of Chlorella vulgaris (ChV) against AFT-induced nephrotoxicity and altered egg quality.

Methods: Quails were randomized into Control group (receiving a normal diet); ChV group (1 g/kg diet); AFT group (receiving an AFT-containing diet); and the AFT-ChV group were given both treatments.

Results and discussion: AFT provoked kidney injury, exhibited by increased renal biochemical parameters and reduced protein levels. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels dramatically increased as a consequence of AFT exposure, and glutathione (GSH) levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities were also decreased. Substantial up-modulation of the mRNA expression of the inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) was additionally reported. Furthermore, AFT residues were detected in the egg compromising its quality and nutritional value. Contrarily, ChV supplemented diet suppressed the AFT-prompted oxidative stress and inflammation, together with enhancing the nutritional value and quality of eggs and decreasing AFT residues. These beneficial impacts are proposed to be attributed to its antioxidant and nutritional ingredients. The molecular docking dynamics confirmed the inflammatory and apoptotic protein targets for ChV. Our findings recommend that adding ChV supplements to foods might guard against nephrotoxicity brought on by AFT exposure.

Laser micro-thrust technology is a type of propulsion that uses a laser beam to ablate a propellant such as a metal or plastic. The ablated material is expelled out the back of the spacecraft, generating thrust. The technology has the advantages of high control precision, high thrust–power ratios, and excellent performances, and it has played an important role in the field of micro-propulsion. In this study, a solid propellant laser micro-thruster was developed and then applied for the attitude control of satellites during on-orbit tests. The micro-thruster had a volume of 0.5 U, a weight of 440 g, and a thrust range of 10 μN–0.6 mN. The propellant, 87% glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) + 10% ammonium perchlorate (AP) + 3% carbon nano-powder, was supplied via a double-layer belt, and the average power was less than 10 W. We present the development of the laser micro-thruster, as well as the results regarding the thruster propulsion performance. The thruster was launched into orbit on 27 February 2022 with the Chuangxin Leishen Satellite developed by Spacety. The on-orbit test of the thruster for satellite attitude control was carried out. The thruster was successfully fired in space and played an obvious role in the attitude control of the satellite. The experimental results show that the thrust is about 315 μN.
