Published: November 2024

The increasing population, shrinking arable land, and climate change prompt the search for new solutions in agriculture. In a sustainable approach, agriculture should be based on improving the quality and quantity of yields while maintaining biodiversity and protecting the natural environment. Nanotechnology, present in many areas of our lives, offers opportunities to support the development of sustainable agriculture on many levels. Among the numerous solutions and nanomaterials, silicon, which is a natural component of the ecosystem, deserves special attention. In its nanoparticle form, it acquires new, unique properties. This article focuses on the significant role of silicon nanoparticles in organic farming, with particular emphasis on their function as nanofertilizers. The authors analyze the impact of silicon nanoparticles on plant growth and development and their potential in mitigating the negative effects of abiotic stress factors caused by drought, salinity, and exposure to metals. Additionally, the beneficial effects of silicon nanoparticles on plants growing under biotic stress conditions induced by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi are presented. The paper includes a review of original research results conducted in recent years in this area, as well as possible mechanisms and strategies of silicon nanoparticle action at the physiological, cellular, and molecular levels. The issue of the safety of using nanoparticles in agriculture and the prospects for their further use as a factor enhancing the resistance and productivity of crops are also discussed.
Desastres locales a soluciones globales: la percepción social del riesgo en la gestión de Riesgos Catastróficos Globales (RCG)
Authors: Montes Joaquín , Ulloa Ruiz Mónica
Published: November 2024

Los Riesgos Catastróficos Globales (RCG) representan una amenaza apremiante para la humanidad, con el potencial de afectar a una escala global y poner en peligro la continuidad de la civilización. A pesar de su gravedad, la inversión en la mitigación de estos riesgos sigue siendo limitada, debido a varios factores como la competencia por recursos y las percepciones de estos riesgos por parte de comunidades y tomadores de decisiones. Este artículo aborda cómo la percepción social del riesgo desempeña un papel fundamental en la gestión de RCG, considerando que las comunidades evalúan y responden a los riesgos de manera subjetiva, influenciada por factores culturales, sociales e históricos. Se argumenta que comprender esta dimensión puede mejorar la gestión de RCG y reducir su impacto. Para ello, se examinan tres casos de estudio que ilustran cómo la percepción social del riesgo ha influido en la gestión de riesgos a menor escala, considerando factores como la coordinación internacional, las políticas de Estado y el conocimiento experto. Por último, se exploran los beneficios de incorporar esta perspectiva en riesgos de mayor escala, como una mejor toma de decisiones, mayor resiliencia comunitaria y mejor identificación de medidas de gestión.
Analysis of a MMC-Based 12-MW Direct-Drive Wind Energy Conversion System With Level-Shifted and PS-PWM and NLM Strategies
Authors: Almeida Andrei O. , Paulo Matheus S. , Teixeira Daniel P. , Valle Rodolfo Lacerda , Almeida Pedro M. , Barbosa Pedro Gomes
Published: November 2024

This paper analyzes a 12-MW direct-drive wind energy converter system featuring a 6.6-kV, 132-pole permanent magnet synchronous generator, similar to the Haliade-X 12-MW manufactured by General Electric. The proposed system utilizes a back-to-back modular multilevel converter (B2B-MMC) with four submodules per arm. The research investigates three modulation strategies: nearest level modulation and two variants of multicarrier pulse width modulation that incorporate level-shift and phase-shift techniques. Additionally, it examines the interaction between the generator's low frequency and the design parameters of the MMC. Thus, this paper contributes to the understanding of the effectiveness of the B2B-MMC as a viable solution for direct-drive low-frequency wind generators. Furthermore, it analyzes how the modulation strategy and voltage equalization algorithm impact system performance, especially with the implementation of a subsampling technique. Digital simulations carried out with PSCAD/EMTDC provide a comparative analysis of the three modulation strategies investigated.
Intracranial atherosclerosis: the current state of the problem (literature review)
Authors: Tanashyan M. M. , Mazur A. S. , Raskurazhev A. A.
Published: November 2024

This review presents current data on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of intracranial atherosclerosis — one of the most relevant areas of vascular neurology of the last decade. Intracranial atherosclerosis is a common cause of ischemic stroke worldwide, accounting for up to half of all ischemic strokes in South-East Asia, Latin America and Africa. Research is actively underway to assess the prevalence of intracranial atherosclerosis among the Caucasian race. New diagnostic methods for the study of intracranial atherosclerosis appear every year, in particular, the introduction of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging of the vascular wall, the search for specific blood biomarkers broaden horizons of research in this field even at the earliest asymptomatic stages of the disease. Treatment and prevention in this cohort of patients remain ambiguous, given the high risk of recurrence of ischemic stroke. Most studies (SAMMPRIS, VISSIT, VAST) relate to the comparison of aggressive drug treatment with endovascular surgical treatment techniques. According to the latest research results, antiplatelet therapy has a significant advantage in preventing stroke.
Stolen Kainai Children: A Companion to the Exhibit
Authors: Prete Tiffany Hind-Bull
Published: November 2024

This article explores one example of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada’s, Calls to Action #69, being implemented through the work of the Galt Museum & Archives with a Blackfoot researcher within the Treaty 7 area in Southern Alberta. Call to Action #69 recommends that museums and archives allocate more resources and develop programs which allow Indigenous Peoples’ “inalienable right to know the truth about what happened and why…in the residential schools.” In many instances, the educational policy underpinning Indian residential schools (IRS) was never explained to the schools’ Survivors or their families. The author created a travelling exhibit to rectify the gap in knowledge, whereby Survivors, Intergenerational Survivors, and interested Canadian citizens can learn about the educational policy that drove Canada’s assimilation efforts for over a century and a half. This article is meant to be a companion piece to contextualize and explain the exhibit entitled: “Stolen Kainai Children: Stories of Survival.”
Autonomia procesu kanonicznego a cywilnoprawna ochrona dóbr osobistych
Authors: Rybczyńska-Gryguc Oliwia
Published: November 2024

Możliwość dochodzenia roszczeń z tytułu ochrony dóbr osobistych naruszonych w trakcie procesu sądowego od lat jest przedmiotem rozważań doktryny i orzecznictwa. W przypadku dóbr naruszonych podczas procesu przed sądem kościelnym powstaje jednak pytanie, czy zasada autonomii procesu kanonicznego nie sprzeciwia się ich ochronie na gruncie cywilnoprawnym. Artykuł zmierza do wykazania, że autonomia procesu kanonicznego nie sprzeciwia się cywilnoprawnej drodze dochodzenia swoich praw z tytułu naruszenia dobra osobistego przed sądem kościelnym, ale również jej nie sprzyja. Jest to spowodowane przede wszystkim ograniczeniami w pozyskiwaniu materiału dowodowego pochodzącego z procesów kościelnych. Wypracowanie rozwiązań prawnych regulujących kwestie współpracy pomiędzy sądami powszechnymi i sądami kościelnymi może pozwolić na poprawę skuteczności ochrony dóbr osobistych naruszonych w procesach kościelnych.
Łódź
Authors: Bömelburg Hans-Jürgen , Plęs Łukasz M.
Published: November 2024

Hans-Jürgen Bömelburg prezentuje nowatorskie, całościowe i bogato udokumentowane ujęcie historii Łodzi, snując pasjonującą opowieść o tym drugim co do wielkości przez cały wiek XX polskim mieście z perspektywy wielokulturowości i wielojęzyczności. Rozkwit tej miejscowości był zasługą niemieckich, żydowskich i polskich fabrykantów tekstylnych, kupców, a także robotników, zwłaszcza robotnic, żyjących często w warunkach ubóstwa i niepewności. Ta społeczność kształtowała wizerunek Łodzi jako „miasta wielu kultur”. Autor pokazuje również jej rozpad na grupy narodowe w latach trzydziestych oraz rozsadzenie jej od środka i zagładę w czasie drugiej wojny światowej (poprzez eksterminację ludności żydowskiej i wymordowanie polskich elit), kiedy okupowana przez Niemców Łódź nosiła nazwę Litzmannstadt. Po 1945 roku wysiedlenia i dyskryminacje (głównie na fali antysemityzmu w 1968 roku) dopełniły dzieła zniszczenia wielokulturowego dziedzictwa metropolii. Łódzki przemysł włókienniczy, niedoinwestowany w Polsce Ludowej, w okresie transformacji nie mógł zaś liczyć na wsparcie ze strony kolejnych rządów, co przy utracie większości rynków zbytu doprowadziło do jego upadku, a w konsekwencji do deklasacji miasta. Dzisiejsza Łódź usiłuje zachować swoją spuściznę historyczną, jednak w obliczu zaniku dawnej wielojęzyczności i wielokulturowości jest to ogromnym wyzwaniem.
Optimization of Chinese Postman Problem Using Fuzzy-Based Priority Weighted Graph
Authors: Yadav Jay Chandra , Rizwanullah Mohammad
Published: November 2024

: In the early 1960s, Chinese mathematician Mei-Ko Kwan (M. Guan) introduced a method aimed at minimizing mail carriers’ route lengths. This method led to the exploration of various formulations of the Chinese Postman Problem (CPP), resulting in at least eight distinct formulations. In response to a practical concern, a new problem formulation called the Priority Constrained Chinese Postman Problem (PCCPP) emerged. In PCCPP, a linear order is provided for a set of significant nodes, and the objective is to traverse all edges at least once while prioritizing the prompt visitation of higher-priority nodes. This paper presents a modified approach to Chinese Postman Problems (CPP) using priorities in a fuzzy environment ranking function applied to priority nodes in CPP to get the optimal result. Finally, this paper also illustrates and justifies the implementation of the modified approach with a numerical problem. The consideration of multi-factors in a multi-graph with priorities gives another scope of research.

Authors: Oghoverere Abiokuta Blessing , Igho Odokuma Emmanuel
Published: November 2024

Comparative anatomy describes the similarities and differences in the anatomy of different species. Comparative anatomical studies do not only provide evidence for evolution but also indicate that various organisms originate from a common ancestor. They assist scientists in classifying these organisms based on similar characteristics of their anatomical structure. The aim of this study was to compare histochemical of the kidney of six mammalian species. The animals were grouped into three based on their dietary patterns i.e herbivores (Capra aegagrus and Bos taurus), carnivores (Canis lupus and Felis catus) and omnivores (Rattus norvegicus and Sus scrofa). Tissues were obtained from each of the studied species and preserved in 10% formal saline for one week until analysis. The tissues were then subsequently processed and stained using general and specific histochemical techniques. It was observed from this study all the mammalian kidneys consisted of similar histological features which explained that these studied mammals undergo the same evolutionary trend, adaptational changes and phylogenic relationship that exist between the kidneys of the studied species. Despite their differences in dietary patterns, the studied species have similar histological features with little observed variation. However, they have little differences in histochemical staining pattern for glycogen and glycoprotein but in reticulin they all stain intensely. This study has established a strong relationship in the histology of the kidney in six mammalian species.

The Amazarkanskoye deposit is confined to the intersection node of the northeastern fault zone with tectonic dislocations of sublatitudinal, northwestern and submeridional directions. The Severnaya and Shirotnaya ore zones with vein-embedded stockwork-type mineralization are distinguished. Carbon-bearing sediments are represented by gneisses of the Paleo-Proterozoic Amazar Formation (AR2am), they are gravitated by zones of vein and disseminated mineralization. Gneisses are characterized by elevated gold contents from 0.05 g/t to 2.54 g/t. In terms of the organic carbon content they correspond to high carbonaceous gneisses. Shales of the Amazar Formation correspond to the terrigenous-carbonaceous formation. They were accumulated in shallow epicontinental basins or in the shelf zone in an island-arc environment. The carbon isotopic composition of graphite inclusions in quartz veins indicates its biogenic nature. It was concluded that carbonaceous gneisses of the Amazar Formation were one of the sources of gold ore mineralization.
George Eliot and Cosmopolitanism—An Interpretation from Appiah’s Theoretical Perspectives
Authors: Fu Jingting , Li Tao
Published: November 2024

The fundamental idea of cosmopolitanism is that all human beings, regardless of their political stance or national identity, should share a common ethical framework and responsibilities on a global scale. However, while cosmopolitanism appeals to the concerns of all humanity, it also poses the problem that people may lose focus on their own national affairs. This paper analyzes George Eliot’s two works, Daniel Deronda and Impressions of Theophrastus Such, to illustrate her views on cosmopolitanism, especially the relationship between nationalism and cosmopolitanism. By utilizing philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah’s concepts of cosmopolitanism, such as “cosmopolitan patriotism,” “impartial cosmopolitanism,” and “partial cosmopolitanism,” the paper concludes that it is the “partial cosmopolitanism” that Eliot pursues. In two of her works mentioned in this paper, Eliot is concerned about the indifference to nationalism that cosmopolitanism can bring, yet she also worries about the narrowness that nationalism can foster. Thus, in Daniel Deronda, Deronda combines nationalism and cosmopolitanism, becoming a cosmopolitan patriot who travels East with an inclusive spirit to realize his national ideals. Eliot integrates nationalism and cosmopolitanism, harmonizing the sense of ethnic belonging with the demands of global citizenship, with the hope that people can achieve a better moral state.

Published: November 2024

Objectives. To provide a legal epidemiology review of state-level policies that regulate the direct delivery of recreational and medical cannabis in the United States.

Methods. We conducted a comprehensive review to identify all relevant policies as of July 1, 2024. Specifically, we developed a coding scheme to capture laws governing (1) direct delivery of recreational cannabis, (2) licensing for direct delivery of recreational cannabis, (3) direct delivery of medical cannabis to qualifying patients, and (4) medical cannabis delivery solely from caregivers to qualified patients.

Results. Fourteen states authorized the direct delivery of recreational cannabis to adults. Twenty-six states and the District of Columbia permitted the direct delivery of medical cannabis to qualifying patients. Twelve states allowed the delivery of medical cannabis to patients exclusively through caregivers. There were numerous variations in the licensing and authorization of recreational and medical cannabis delivery.

Conclusions. States varied in how the delivery of cannabis was regulated.

Public Health Implications. A comprehensive review of state-level policies on cannabis delivery highlights the diverse approaches and their implications for recreational and medical cannabis access. ( Am J Public Health. 2025;115(2):178–190. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307874 )
“Tragic Irrationalism” by N.A. Berdyaev and L. Shestov
Authors:   National Research University “Higher School of Economics”, Porus Vladimir
Published: November 2024

The article reveals the specifics of irrationalism, which habitually characterizes the philosophical views of N. Berdyaev and L. Shestov, and the influence that F. Dostoevsky had on these views. The irrationality of a person, as Berdyaev understands it, is expressed in the fact that the desire for personal freedom is incommensurable with the desire for prosperity, pleasure, and benefit everything that is considered as the rational goals of the individual and society. It elevates a person above everyday life and leads to a rebellion against culture. Such irrationality is opposed not to rationality as an epistemic value, but to “formal rationality” (in the sense of M. Weber), claiming primacy among cultural universals. “Formal rationality” in modern culture has become a fake value, under the sign of which hypocrisy and cruel indifference are located, especially when it comes to the “unfortunate”, rejected by the culture of people. Therefore, Berdyaev’s “irrationalism” is nothing more than a protest against culture as a sphere of simulacra in the role of cultural universals. The same protest is characteristic of Shestov. Both philosophers proclaim “human tragedy” as the main theme of philosophy. The difference between them is that Berdyaev sees an eschatological perspective in which the “philosophy of tragedy” leads to the apotheosis of freedom, and Shestov, not trusting such a perspective, rearranges the craving for freedom of specific religiosity, the meaning and content of which he persistently but unsuccessfully sought.
The Concept of Religious Experience by F. Schleiermacher in the Works of “Secular” Religious Thinkers of the early 20th Century
Authors:   Saint Tikhon’s Orthodox University, Koreneva Nadezhda
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the reception of the concept of religious feeling by F. Schleiermacher in the works of such Russian philosophers of the early 20th century as S.L. Frank, I.A. Ilyin, S.N. Bulgakov, F.A. Stepun, V.V. Zenkovsky, etc. The author of the article identifies the following ways of interpreting this concept: religious feeling can be understood as “psychologism” and “immanentism”, either detracting from the meaning of Revelation (reducing religion exclusively to personal experiences), or evaluated positively in terms of the existential significance for a person of these experiences (in this case, Schleiermacher is considered as a precursor of modern psychology); religious feeling can be interpreted closely to Dilthey’s ideas as the original unity of consciousness. In addition, religious feeling in the works of Schleiermacher (as well as other representatives of German Romanticism) becomes the subject of analysis of research on the psychology of religion. In general, the study of the interpretations by Russian philosophers of the concept of religious feeling in Schleiermacher’s teaching helps, rather, to approach the understanding of religious experience by the considered thinkers themselves, in whose works this concept is of great importance, but is often not explicated.

Enhancing low-voltage ride-through capability of wind turbine based double-fed induction generator using ANFIS controller and crowbar circuit
Authors: Abdelaal Ashraf , El-Fergany Attia
Published: November 2024

The ultimate target of this paper is to increase the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) of the Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) driven by wind turbine. This task is realized, initially, by inserting a crowbar circuit (CB) into rotor circuit, in case of voltage dip (VD), to guard it from high current and high voltage that could result from the transient flux produced by the VD. In case of no CB circuit, the system may be vulnerable to instability. Secondly, an ANFIS-controller is proposed to control both the rotor side converter (RSC) and the grid side converter (GSC). While the RSC controller regulates the electromagnetic torque, the GSC controller control both the real power and reactive power delivered to the system during normal operation conditions beside with it keeps the value of the dc link voltage fixed. To enhance the LVRT capabilities, the GSC is controlled such that it injects the necessary reactive power required during severe voltage dips to improve the LVRT capability of the DFIG. From the results, it is obvious that the hybrid ANFIS and CB circuit provide an improved LVRT responses in challenging operating conditions and within the acceptable criteria’s.
Computational Simulation of Contact Fatigue Life for a Hypoid Gear Drive
Authors: Lisboa João Pedro Basílio Machado , Júnior Pedro Américo Almeida Magalhães
Published: November 2024

This paper presents an estimate of the contact fatigue life for a hypoid gear, by finite element method (FEM). The contact stresses are obtained by nom-linear static analysis, using the Abaqus software, along the tooth path of contact, making it possible to determine the region where the greatest stress occurs. The dynamic load spectrum during meshing is obtained through multibody analysis, using the MSC Adams software. Finally, these results are combined with the material's mechanical and fatigue properties in the FE-Safe software, and so the contact fatigue S-N curve (stress - number of cycles) is numerically generated. The results obtained are consistent with the behavioral expectations for the proposed model, as described in the literature.

Published: November 2024

Purpose
The aim of this paper was to use Pinus pumila (Pall.) Pinecone from Northeast China to extract essential oils to inhibit Escherichia coli and improve its utilization.
Methods
The study used hydrodistillation to extract essential oil from Pinus pumila (Pall.) pinecone. Inhibition analysis of E.coli using extracted essential oils was evaluated to reveal the inhibitory activity by assessing growth curves, conductivity, nucleic acids, proteins, enzyme activities, and protein synthesis.
Results
The primary constituents, as shown by GC-MS chemical composition study, were α-pinitol, β-pinene and limonene. The results of the bacteriostatic activity indicated that the inhibitory zone (DIZ) had a diameter of 14.93±0.14 mm, the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) was 16.0 µL/mL, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was 8.0 µL/mL. Sweeping electron microscopy and laser confocal also demonstrated the disruption of cell wall and cellular enzymes, analyzed by CATase and ATPase activities, which showed a decrease in enzyme activity, and SDS-PAGE analysis showed its ability to inhibit protein synthesis, which leads to cellular damage.
Conclusion
The present study emphasizes the sustainable use of Pinus pumila (Pall.) Pinecone for economic opening of food preservation in addition to inhibition of spoilage bacteria.
Optical coherent perfect absorption and amplification in a time-varying medium
Authors: Galiffi Emanuele , Harwood Anthony , Vezzoli Stefano , Tirole Romain , Alu Andrea , Sapienza Riccardo
Published: November 2024

Time-invariant photonic structures amplify or absorb light based on their intrinsic material gain or loss. The coherent interference of multiple beams in space, e.g., in a resonator, can be exploited to tailor the wave interaction with material gain or loss, respectively maximizing lasing or coherent perfect absorption. By contrast, a time-varying system is not bound to conserve energy, even in the absence of material gain or loss, and can support amplification or absorption of a probe wave through parametric phenomena. Here, we demonstrate theoretically and experimentally how a subwavelength film of indium tin oxide, whose bulk permittivity is homogeneously and periodically modulated via optical pumping, can be dynamically tuned to act both as a non-resonant amplifier and a perfect absorber, by manipulating the relative phase of two counterpropagating probe beams. This extends the concept of coherent perfect absorption to the temporal domain. We interpret this result as selective switching between the gain and loss modes present in the momentum bandgap of a periodically modulated medium. By tailoring the relative intensity of the two probes, high-contrast modulation can be achieved with up to 80% absorption and 400% amplification. Our results demonstrate control of gain and loss in time-varying media at optical frequencies and pave the way towards coherent manipulation of light in Floquet-engineered complex photonic systems.

Authors: Kopp Matias , Anabalón Pedro , Rocha Sebastian , Gonzalez María Eugenia , Romero-García juan Miguel , Castro Eulogio , Cea Mara
Published: November 2024

The study aimed to develop an iron oxide/activated hydrochar composite (FeOHC) to remove 2-chlorophenol from water through adsorption or oxidation processes. Two preparation methods were used: (1) incipient wetness impregnation of biomass via hydrothermal carbonization, and (2) coprecipitation of iron oxide on the hydrochar surface (FeOHC-C). Both materials were activated at 400°C under nitrogen. Characterization revealed mesoporous structures with surface areas of 44–66 m² g⁻¹ and magnetite presence. Adsorption experiments showed a capacity of 7.71 and 5.14 mg g⁻¹ within 24 hours, with the Elovich model best describing the kinetics. Equilibrium adsorption ranged from 24.63 to 18.70 mg g⁻¹, with FeOHC showing the highest capacity, fitting the Sips isotherm model. Thermodynamic analysis suggested a physical adsorption process. Fenton reactions demonstrated faster removal at pH 3.0, while reusability tests confirmed the materials could act as both adsorbents and self-regenerative catalysts for water remediation.

The widespread adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) for understanding natural language makes us believe to be the de-facto standard for natural language processing tasks. In practice, natural language conversations are not limited to monolingual conversations. A significant number of internet users are multi-lingual. Such multi-lingual userbase has led to exponential growth in code-mix text content. In this study, inclusive of monolingual we evaluate the true capabilities and weaknesses of LLMs for understanding sarcastic code-mix conversations on the internet. Considering the morphological linguistic features of sarcastic instance, we have proposed an Ensemble-learning inspired novel architecture, MuKX. MuKX outperforms the state-of-the-art code-mix by 12.68% and monolingual by 8.42%. MuKX is a continuous effort, and we will expand it with more low-resource languages and tasks.

As healthcare systems increasingly adopts fog computing to improve responsiveness and data processing at the edge, security challenges associated with decentralized architectures become more pronounced. The traditional security models, reliant on defined perimeters, are ill-suited for the dynamic and open nature of fog environments, where sensitive data traverses multiple nodes, creating potential vulnerabilities. This paper proposes a novel security framework combining Blockchain (BC) and Software Defined Network (SDN) technologies underpinned by Zero Trust (ZT) principles, specifically designed using fog networks. This model integrates BC to ensure immutable and traceable transaction logs, while SDN provides dynamic and adaptable network configuration to enforce comprehensive access controls and real-time threat management. The primary advantage of our approach is the robust enhancement of security across the fog network by adopting a ZT architecture that never inherently trusting any node and requiring continuous verification of all network interactions. This method drastically reduces potential attack vectors. Furthermore, the synergy between BC and SDN enables decentralized, auditable, and flexible security management capable of adapting to evolving threats instantaneously. Finally, experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in Intrusion Detection Rates (IDR) by 40%, system responsiveness to security threats improved by 35%, and Data Integrity (DI) enhanced by 30%. These findings underscore the efficacy of the proposed framework in fortifying the security of fog networks, marking it as a vital upgrade for secure and efficient operations in modern healthcare environments.

Winter faba beans exhibit significant yield advantages over spring cultivars and hold promise for enhancing local protein production and agricultural sustainability. However, the threat of winter kill limits wider cultivation and the genetics of faba bean winter hardiness remain unresolved. Here, we develop a highly improved faba bean reference genome and combine this with resequencing and phenotyping of winter and spring faba bean accessions to identify genetic determinants of winter hardiness. Genome-wide association analysis of frost tolerance traits identifies a major winter hardiness locus where the most strongly associated variant explains the vast majority of phenotypic variation and accurately differentiates between winter and spring types. Furthermore, we identify additional signals within the winter faba bean gene pool that pave the way for further improvement of winter hardiness. Our work provides improved genomic resources and resolves the genetics of a key agronomic trait in a global protein crop to facilitate future breeding efforts.

Published: November 2024

Sentiment analysis stands as a focal point in the current landscape of natural language processing research with deep neural network models as being prevalent tools of choice. While these models have exhibited noteworthy performance, their intricate nature frequently renders them akin to black boxes, resulting in a lack of transparency regarding the internal mechanisms of the sentiment classification process. The lack of interpretability in such models raises concerns regarding the reliance on outcomes from opaque systems. This study introduces an approach for distilling knowledge from complex deep neural network models into simpler and more interpretable ones while maintaining performance and ensuring global interpretability. Three distinct knowledge distillation pipelines are proposed to transfer the knowledge acquired by teacher models, including Long Short-Term Memory, Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory, Convolutional Neural Network and AraBERT into Logistic Regression and Decision Tree models. Conducting thorough assessments across three separate datasets for Arabic sentiment analysis, the study’s proposed approach consistently demonstrates performance levels that surpass those of complex models.

Today, phishing attacks have become a sig-nificant threat to online security. These false fronts areused to mislead people and businesses into clicking onmalicious URLs, revealing their password, credit cardinformation, or personal data. Infiltrating fraudulentwebsites or fake apps: Cybercriminals are upping theirgame by creating more and more representative de-signs of what to the inexperienced user seems like a“trustworthy” site, where they can be misled to entertheir username and password. Various methods such asblacklist, whitelist, heuristic exchange features, and vi-sual similarity-based techniques are being proposed foranti-phishing. Modern browsers come to help and limitthe way users can be phished into a vicious agenda,but yet, users fall prey to these obvious attacks and re-veal their secret data. In earlier research, the authorsintroduced a machine-learning approach for detectingphishing websites, achieving an accuracy of 96.85% with87 features. In this paper, we present new phishingURL detection models based on a Deep Neural Net-work (DNN) using the same dataset and 87 featuresfrom the previous work. The proposed method achievesa higher accuracy of 99.43% with DNN. Additionally,cross-validation is employed to enhance robustness andimprove the speed of phishing detection

Published: November 2024

This study presents the synthesis, characterization and evaluation of novel phthalonitrile derivatives for their inhibitory effects on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), crucial enzymes in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Since the progression of AD is characterized by progressive memory loss, therapeutic strategies often target these cholinergic enzymes to alleviate symptoms. Using the Claisen-Schmidt condensation and the Debus-Radziszewski reaction, phthalonitriles with potential biological significance were synthesized in this study. Among the derivatives, compound B4 with an imidazole ring showed potent inhibitory activity against both AChE and BChE in the low nanomolar range, surpassing the efficacy of conventional inhibitors. Molecular docking confirmed the binding affinity of B4 to the active sites of the enzymes, suggesting that it is a leading compound for Alzheimer's therapy. This work contributes to the treatment of AD by presenting phthalonitrile derivatives as promising candidates for further therapeutic development.

Background and Objective: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disease characterized by damage and potential loss of articular cartilage for which there is no effective treatment. YangHe Decoction (YHD), a traditional Chinese herbal formula used for the treatment of OA, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may be an effective strategy for the treatment of OA. The objective of this study is to investigate the potential mechanism of YHD and its main active ingredient for inhibiting ferroptosis in chondrocytes and for the treatment of OA. Methods: Possible targets and processes of YHD and OA were forecasted using network pharmacology, including relationships between cross-targets of YHD and OA, obtaining key potential targets through PPIs, and revealing possible mechanisms of YHD on OA through GO and KEGG pathway enhancement analyses. Subsequently, in vitro experiments confirmed the expected underlying process. Finally, an in vivo model of DMM-induced C57BL/6 mice model was constructed to validate that YHD ameliorates cartilage degradation and delays the progression of OA. Result: Utilizing a comprehensive approach encompassing network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experimental validation, we have demonstrated that YHD effectively mitigates cartilage degeneration and hinders OA progression in mice in vivo by suppressing IL-1β-mediated ferroptosis within chondrocytes. Conclusion: Our study revealed that YHD was able to slow down osteoarthritis (OA) progression by inhibiting ferroptosis in chondrocytes via the P53/SLC7A11/GPX4 axis.

The traditional clinical trial monitoring process, which relies heavily on site visits and manual review of accumulative patient data reported through Electronic Data Capture system, is time-consuming and resource-intensive. The recently emerged risk-based monitoring (RBM) and quality tolerance limit (QTL) framework offers a more efficient alternative solution to traditional SDV (source data verification) based quality assurance. These frameworks aim at proactively identifying systematic issues that impact patient safety and data integrity. In this paper, we proposed a machine learning enabled approach to facilitate real-time, automated monitoring of clinical trial QTL risk assessment. Unlike the traditional quality assurance process, where QTLs are evaluated based on single-source data and arbitrary defined fixed threshold, we utilize the QTL-ML framework to integrate information from multiple clinical domains to predict the clinical QTL of variety types at program, study, site and patient level. Moreover, our approach is assumption-free, relying not on historical expectations but on dynamically accumulating trial data to predict quality tolerance limit risks in an automated manner. Embedded within ICH-E6 recommended RBM principles, this innovative machine learning solution for QTL monitoring has the potential to transform sponsors’ ability to protect patient safety, reduce trial duration, and lower trial costs.
