Exploring the Complexity of Protein Structure Determination Through X-ray Diffraction
Authors: Sarah Otun , Ikechukwu Achilonu
Published: November 2023

The determination of a protein structure by using X-ray diffraction encompasses a series of sequential steps (including gene identification and cloning, protein expression and purification, crystallization, phasing model building, refinement, and validation), which need the application of several methodologies derived from molecular biology, bioinformatics, and physical sciences. This article thoroughly examines the complicated procedure of elucidating protein structures within plant biology, using X-ray diffraction as the primary methodology. Commencing with the gene identification process and progressing toward crystallography, this article explores the many obstacles and achievements in acquiring diffraction pictures and their subsequent conversion into electron density maps. The ensuing phases of model construction, refinement, and structural validation are thoroughly examined, providing insight into the inherent complexity associated with each stage. The paper also discusses the critical component of understanding the resultant model and scrutinizing its biological significance. By comprehensively examining these stages, this article presents a nuanced comprehension of the intricate procedure in ascertaining protein structures within plant biology. It offers valuable insights into the obstacles encountered and the biological importance of the acquired structural data.

This study aims to identify the types and functions of deixis used in the movie Spiderman: No Way Home. This study used Spiderman: No Way Home as the object. This study used a qualitative approach. The writer used Levinson's (1983) theory to analyze the data. In the study of deixis in the movie Spiderman: No Way Home, it was found that there are five types of deixis consisting of person, place, time, discourse, and social deixis. In this study, 1,903 tokens were found from various lexemes and deixis types. Of the total, 1,478 tokens can be identified as belonging to the category of person deixis. There are 79 tokens in the category of place deixis, 60 tokens in the category of time deixis, 259 tokens in the category of discourse deixis, and 27 tokens in the category of social deixis. It can be concluded that person deixis is more dominant than other types. Based on the analysis, character  P1  most  frequently  uses  each  type  of  deixis  in  the movie Spiderman: No Way Home. P1 uses 748 person deixis, 30 time deixis, 34 place deixis, 137 discourse deixis, and 20 social deixis, with a total of 969 tokens. The use of a person, place, time, discourse, and social deixis in the film Spiderman: No Way Home is properly used as their function. After analyzing the use of words and phrases related to these aspects in the context of the movie, there is nothing inappropriate. Thus, based on the analysis of the use of a person, place, time, discourse, and social deixis in the film Spiderman: No Way Home, it can be concluded that the characters' uses have been by their functions, none of which are deviant.

ARGO: Ontology of Arguments
Authors: Beverley John , Otte Jeff Neil , Franda Francesco
Published: November 2023

Although the last decade has seen a proliferation of ontological approaches to arguments, many of them employ ad hoc solutions to representing arguments, lack interoperability with other ontologies, or cover arguments only as part of a broader approach to evidence. To provide a better ontological representation of arguments, we present the Arguments Ontology (ArgO), a small ontology for arguments that is designed to be imported and easily extended by researchers who work in different upper-level ontology frameworks, different logics, and different approaches to argument evaluation. Unlike most ontological approaches to arguments, ArgO utilizes Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) as an upper-level ontology, and may be used alongside other commonly used ontologies in the BFO framework, including both the Information Artifact Ontology (IAO), and the Information Entity Ontology (INFO). Critically, our proposal is principled, based on rigorous definitions and formal axioms out of which characterizations of arguments naturally fall. It is our hope that ArgO may assist researchers in many projects, including: integrating heterogeneous sources of evidence, structuring the content of semantic wikis, and enhancing semantic reasoning.
Meta-analyzing non-preregistered and preregistered studies
Authors: van Aert Robbie Cornelis Maria
Published: November 2023

Preregistration is gaining ground in psychology, and a consequence of this is that preregistered studies are more often included in meta-analyses. Preregistered studies likely mitigate the effect of publication bias in a meta-analysis, because preregistered studies can be located in the registries they were registered in even if they do not get published. However, current meta-analysis methods do not take into account that preregistered studies are less susceptible to publication bias. Traditional methods treat all studies as equivalent while meta-analytic conclusions can be improved by taking advantage of preregistered studies. The goal of this paper is to introduce the Hybrid Extended Meta-Analysis (HYEMA) method that takes into account whether a study is preregistered or not to correct for publication bias in only the non-preregistered studies. The proposed method is applied to two meta-analyses on prominent effects in the psychological literature: the red-romance hypothesis and money priming. Applying HYEMA to these meta-analyses shows that the average effect size estimate is substantially closer to zero than the estimate of the random-effects meta-analysis model. Two simulation studies tailored to the two applications are also presented to illustrate the method's superior performance compared to the random-effects meta-analysis model and PET-PEESE when publication bias is present. Hence, I recommend to apply HYEMA as a sensitivity analysis if a mix of both preregistered and non-preregistered studies are present in a meta-analysis. R code as well as a web application (https://rcmvanaert.shinyapps.io/HYEMA) have been developed and are described in the paper to facilitate application of the method.
A Review of Measurement for Quantification of Carbon Dioxide Removal by Enhanced Weathering in Soil
Authors: Clarkson Matthew , Larkin Christina , Swoboda Philipp , Reershemius Tom , Suhrhoff Jesper , Maesano Cara , Campbell James
Published: November 2023

All pathways which limit global temperature rise to <2oC above pre-industrial temperatures now require carbon dioxide removal (CDR) in addition to rapid greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Novel and durable CDR strategies need to rapidly scale over the next few decades in order to reach Paris Agreement Targets. Terrestrial enhanced weathering (EW) involves the acceleration of natural weathering processes via the deployment of crushed rock feedstocks, typically Ca- and Mg-rich silicates, in soils. While models predict this has the potential to remove multiple gigatonnes of CO2 annually, as an open-system pathway, the measurement (monitoring), reporting, and verification (MRV) of carbon removal and storage is challenging. Here we provide a review of the current literature showing the state-of-play of different methods for monitoring EW. We focus on geochemical characterization of weathering processes at the weathering site itself, acknowledging that the final storage of carbon is largely in the oceans, with potential losses occurring during transfer. There are two main approaches for measuring EW, one focused on solid phase measurements, including exchangeable phases, and the other on the aqueous phase. Additionally, gas phase measurements have been employed to understand CO2 fluxes, but can be dominated by short-term organic carbon cycling. We stress that, although there is complexity in tracing EW CDR in the natural field environment, established literature validates existing approaches, and each approach has strengths and limitations. The complexity inherent in open-system CDR pathways is navigable through surplus measurement strategies and well designed experiments, which we highlight are critical in the early stage of the EW CDR industry.
The 'Beyond Workplace Wellbeing' Framework: A New Framework for the Organisation of Work to Cultivate Wellbeing and Productivity in Workplace.
Authors: Virhia Jasmine , Blavo Yolanda , Lordan Grace
Published: November 2023

Organisations’ attempts to improve wellbeing at work are too narrowly focussed and fail to account for the diverse and individualistic ways employees cultivate wellbeing. Moreover, a clear disconnect exists between the amount of money invested into organisational wellbeing initiatives and the ever-increasing levels of ill-being at work. The ‘Beyond Workplace Wellbeing’ Framework therefore brings together findings from a large qualitative study involving 100 semi-structured interviews across financial and professional services in the UK. We propose that employers should not intervene with wellbeing, but should instead focus more on improving psychological safety and reducing ill-being of employees that is directly attributable to their employment. We also highlight the significance of employees being given autonomy in choosing how and when they carry out responsibilities subject to satisfying operations. This autonomy allows employees to create a work structure that enables them to be both productive and enhance their own wellbeing. Findings are timely in response to Covid-19 and the re-organisation of work. They simultaneously highlight the importance of large and diverse samples in qualitative research.

The answer to improving student learning cannot be to simply spend more time studying (more time in school, more homework, more after-school programs, more summer school, etc.). Decades of cognitive psychology research have shown that classroom instructional time and student self-regulated learning time could be used more efficiently if they incorporate spaced and interleaved retrieval practice. But it is not always easy to translate research to real-life practice. In this paper, we outline the barriers and potential pitfalls in the implementation of time-saving and memory-enhancing strategies in the classroom. We suggest ways to implement these effective strategies, both in instructional design and in students’ own self-regulated study. In particular, we focus on how instructors can support students, not only by modeling effective learning practices in the classroom, but by focusing on ways to empower learners to transfer these strategies into their own study sessions. Finally, we direct researchers’ and practitioners’ attention to future directions that integrate cognitive, metacognitive, and motivational approaches to enhancing student learning.
Preferred Percent Correct in Novel Computer-Based Tasks
Authors: Riley Steven
Published: November 2023

This research investigated whether computer users preferred moderate levels of difficulty when encountering new tasks. This research attempted to quantify the preferred percentage correct (PPC) on three computer-based tasks (one verbal, one visual and one kinesthetic) for a sample of Internet users. PPC was defined as the point where participants gave no net preference to the change in difficulty level upon completion of ten trials of a computer- based task with fixed difficulty level. The sample included 102 individuals of mean age 24.1 who were recruited through posts on Reddit, Facebook and Craigslist. Most participants were White (75%) and low-income (66% had incomes of less than $25,000/year), and about half of them were female (46%). Sixty-two of these participants spent at least five hours per week on average playing video games. Two constructs were used to measure PPC with significant evidence for convergent validity. Correcting for guessing, the data yielded PPC values of 58.7%, 54.5%, and 56.7% on the visual, verbal and kinesthetic tasks, respectively, all with standard errors < 3%. These data fit the relationship PPC = .57 + .43*g, where g is the chance of a correct guess on a task.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the commonest cancer in females globally. The scenario in Nepal is also similar. Breast cancers are now not only limited to older age group but younger females are also visiting hospital with breast malignancies. An increase in trend of breast cancer in young females have been noticed. They are reported to have a more aggressive clinical and pathological features.
Material and methods: We conducted a retrospective study of breast cancers in mastectomy specimen with focus on young females of less than or equal to forty years of age. The data collection period was from January 1st to December 31st 2021. Data were collected from the records of department of pathology. All those cases of post neoadjuvant chemotherapy with no residual masses microscopically and cases of male breast carcinoma were excluded.
Results: A total of 273 cases of mastectomies were analyzed. 75 cases were from patients of ≤40 years of age and 198 belonged to age group of >40 years. Invasive breast carcinoma of no special type and histological (Nottingham Histological score) grade of Grade 2 was common in both groups. However grade 3 was more prevalent in younger group. Left breast was most frequent laterality for the cancer. Perineural invasion was found more in older females.
Conclusion: Breast cancer is no longer a disease of older females only. More and more cases are being diagnosed at younger age group and they are more aggressive in them. Hence there is a greater need to spread awareness regarding breast cancer in the younger population as well.

Introduction: Immunohistochemistry test is used to characterize intracellular proteins or various cell surfaces in all tissues. It is used to solve diagnostic problems or for determining prognosis and response to therapy in breast pathology. ER, PR and HER2 are well established biomarkers for breast cancer prognosis and for guiding treatment.
Materials and methods: This is retrospective study at Department of Pathology of B P Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital in Bharatpur, Chitwan, Nepal effective from 15 April 2020 to 14 April 2021. All the data were retrieved and analyzed.
Results: Total 205 breast cancer cases were analyzed, among them 198 cases were females accounting 96.5 % and 7 cases were males accounting 3.5 %. Altogether 125 (60.9%) cases had immunohistochemistry panel of ER, PR and HER2 tests done. 48% cases were ER positive, 42.4% cases were PR positive, 34.4% were HER2 positive and 9.9% cases were triple negative.
Conclusion: Breast cancer is more common in females than in males. Most common affected age group was 41-50 years. Most common histological type was invasive ductal carcinoma NST. In order to improve breast cancer outcomes and survival, early diagnosis, immunohistochemistry hormone analysis and screening tests should be done.

Introduction: Ultrasonography (USG) is one of the modality of choice for detection of breast lesions due to its advantage over radiation exposure, differentiation between solid tumor and cyst filled with fluid, especially for imaging of young age females. The aim of the study is to find out the prevalence of breast cancer among the patients undergoing scanning of USG and estimate its sensitivity, specificity and accuracy to detect breast lesion in comparison with histopathology.
Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from 15th April to 10th September, 2022. A sample size of 426 was taken in convenience sampling method. Collected data were entered and analyzed on SPSS 25.0. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of USG to detect breast lesion in comparison to histopathology findings.
Results: Among 426 patients sample coming from OPD, breast cancer was seen in 53 (12.44%) patients. Among 426, 418 were female and 8 were male patients. Age ranged from 13-75 years. The sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value and accuracy of USG to detect breast lesion are 94%, 100%, 94.23%, 100% and 97% respectively.
Conclusion: The sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value and accuracy of USG to detect breast lesion is quite high. USG is highly recommended in examination of breast lesions.

A Need for New Standards: Communicating Shape Transformations in the Technical Documentation of Products
Authors: Pei Eujin , Leung Christopher
Published: November 2023

Advances in additive manufacturing have enabled functional grading and multi-material deposition to produce “4D printed” parts that are net or near net shape; creating highly complex features that are difficult to produce with conventional manufacturing processes. This article addresses the fundamental challenge of how to ensure that the design, manufacturing, and functional intent for 4D printed parts can be accurately and unambiguously communicated across the design, manufacturing, inspection, and supply value chain. The use case of a generic mini-gripper sheds light on the benefits that a new standard could bring to the engineering and design of shape memory materials.
