Le corps malade comme métaphore de la solitude dans l’œuvre de Marguerite Yourcenar
Authors: Rifki Safaa
Published: April 2024

Soumission à Epi-revel

Solitude is a dominant theme in Yourcenar’s literary production. It’s an inherent characteristic of life itself and is established as an essential condition of humanity. In Yourcenar’s works, solitude takes on various forms, among which illness is an integral part. The motif of the sick body is at the core of Yourcenar’s writing and thus plays a major narrative role. This is often marked by the emergence of protagonists who seek refuge in solitude. This negative rupture is evident through the significant presence of numerous characters afflicted with bodily illnesses. In this article, we will explore this more symbolic type of solitude that seems to haunt the writer, focusing on the symbolic meanings of obsessive aggressor elements that can provide insights into Yourcenar’s imagination due to their repetitive nature. We will address the theme through obsessive metaphors, namely metaphors of mood, metaphors of inaction, metaphors of torment, personification of the human body, and the objectification of the human body.

International audience

La solitude est un thème hégémonique dans la production littéraire de Yourcenar. C’est une caractéristique inhérente à la vie elle-même, et est établie comme une condition essentielle de l’homme. Dans l’œuvre yourcenarienne, la solitude est polymorphe, elle revêt plusieurs formes dont la maladie fait partie intégrante. Le motif du corps malade est au centre de l’écriture yourcenarienne et joue de ce fait un rôle narratif majeur. Celle-ci est souvent marquée par l’apparition des protagonistes qui se réfugient dans la solitude. Cette rupture négative se constate par la présence significative de nombreux personnages porteurs de maladies corporelles. Dans cet article, nous allons décliner ce type de solitude, plus symbolique, qui semble hanter l’écrivaine, en privilégiant les significations symboliques des éléments agresseurs obsessionnels qui sont à même d’informer sur l’imaginaire de Yourcenar de par leur caractère itératif. Nous allons traiter du thème par le biais des métaphores obsessionnelles à savoir les métaphores de l’humeur, les métaphores du non-agir, les métaphores du tourment, la personnification du corps humain et la réification du corps humain.
Rational Mindset In The Perspective Of Hadith and Its Implications For The Use Of Social Media
Authors: Anggun Puspita Ningrum  , Aida Lestari  , Fariz Abdillah
Published: April 2024

This article focuses on discussing the rational mindset taught by the Prophet and its implications for the use of social media. The emphasis on the implications of the Prophet's hadith aims to ensure that in using social media, people are not separated from Islamic norms or teachings, especially in adopting news circulating on social media. In the process, this article uses a qualitative method based on literature data with content analysis. In addition, this article makes the Prophetic traditions that talk about rational thinking as the primary reference and takes some other references, such as verses of the Qur'an as a reference to strengthen the meaning of the hadith presented. Thus, this article concludes that the Prophet has encouraged his people to maximize their intelligence. Rational mindset becomes the main footing in navigating life based on the coffers of Islamic teachings. The implication of the rational mindset taught by the Prophet teaches Muslims that giving news or information must be in accordance with the truth or what it is. All information must be addressed critically by tabayyun, not slandering each other, being polite in communication, using good language, not blaspheming or defaming that can cause hatred.

Exploratory Analysis of Different Types of Adjectives for Sentiment Classification
Authors: Zafar Lubna , Masood Nayyer , Zareen Jawad
Published: April 2024

Online websites available on the internet, Amazon, provide a platform for users to share their valuable opinions. Users’ reviews are available in thousands, and extracting useful information from these reviews manually is a crucial task for managers, companies, and users. Reviews are written in natural language, and to extract useful information from the reviews, there is a need for an automatic technique known as sentiment analysis. Researchers have used polarity features like nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs to mine sentiment using one feature or combination. The studies showed that adjectives remain the most prominent feature. However, previous research has not evaluated many types on a comprehensive dataset. This research focuses on the identification of different kinds of adjectives in a given text, the identification of the best type and the classification of different kinds as positive, negative, and neutral. Understanding the nuanced impact of various adjectives in sentiment classification is crucial for developing more accurate and context-aware natural language processing models, essential for applications ranging from sentiment analysis to customer reviews. We comprehensively evaluate different types of adjectives on machine learning algorithms. The experimental results are performed on an annotated dataset of 58,258 office product reviews collected from Amazon. Out of these evaluated adjectives, opinion adjectives have the highest precision of 0.931 on the Naïve Bayes classifier and show the best sentiments.

Exploring Gender Based Listening Anxieties in Computer Based IELTS Tests: An In-depth Investigation
Authors: Akram Nazia , Sadiq Maqsooda , Rehman Jawaria
Published: April 2024

The current study investigates diverse listening anxieties experienced by both genders during the computer-based IELTS listening test. Three key anxieties are examined: cognitive and physical stress, pronunciation and accent challenges, and language and vocabulary knowledge issues. A notable difference in responses between genders is observed, with females exhibiting increased anxiety levels when listening and typing simultaneously. In contrast, males face challenges comprehending different accents within the same audio. Both genders express significant apprehension regarding encountering unknown words. Employing a quantitative approach, the study analyses data from 88 participants who have recently appeared in the Computer-Based IELTS exam. Descriptive statistics serve as the primary analytical tool. Results indicate that the transition to screen-based IELTS introduces a few challenges for students accustomed to paper-based testing, exacerbating existing anxieties. The study advocates for integrating realistic practice tests into classroom curricula to alleviate screen related fears and prepare students for the exam environment. This research sheds light on the nuanced dynamics of listening anxieties in screen-based testing contexts, providing insights for educators and test administrators to enhance student preparation and performance.
Reimagining Ecological Harmony and Dissonance: With Special Emphasis on “The God of Small Things”
Authors: Ibrahim Khokhar Muhammad , Ghafoor Abdul , Ahmed Ihsan
Published: April 2024

The 21st century’s climate change has become an eminent threat to humanity, the cosmos and the earth. Homo sapiens, in their pursuit to achieve the quality of life, have conducted irreversible and irreparable damage to the habitat as the good environment of it. This study comprehensively and extensively analyses Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things (1997). She gives a detailed account of nature in her novel and describes nature in the present and past scenarios. The study will be based on the theoretical framework of ecocriticism (Garrad, 2004). The ecocritical theory explicitly looks into the relationship between literature and the physical environment in terms of their influence on each other (Glotfelty,1996). This paper represents how Arundhati Roy has presented her concern for the environment, which human beings have mercilessly misused in the garb of civilization, development and modernization. It also highlights how the deteriorated and detrimental effect of human exploitation of nature directly affects the environment and living space.
COMBINATION OF TWO DIFFERENT C174T AND C235T OF THE ANGIOTENSINOGEN GENE MUTATION AND C677T METHYLENETETRAHYDROFOLATE REDUCTASE GENE MUTATION IN PATIENTS WITH CVD IN THE POPULATION OF AZERBAIJAN
Authors:   Department of Biology, Baku State University, Baku, Azerbaijan, Guliyeva Rana
Published: April 2024

We studied two mutations of C174T (Met174Tre) and C235T (Met235Tre) of the angiotensinogen gene and mutation C677T (Ala677Val) of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene, as well as their combinations among patients with cardiovascular diseases: coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and hypertension, using a complex of modern molecular genetic diagnostic methods. A high frequency of these mutations has been established in the group of patients with severe forms of cardiovascular disorders. Homozygous and compound conditions were found in people with severe diseases. In particular, the heterozygous state of the mutation was found in people with moderate hypertension. It was also found that the presence of close blood relationship between the parents of patients with cardiovascular diseases increases the homozygotization of mutations of the genes AGT and MTGFR in probands. Consequently, such persons are susceptible to the disease or in other words, have an increased risk of developing diseases of the cardiovascular system. For the first time, the frequencies of these mutations in the Azerbaijani population have been determined, which are mostly consistent with the frequencies described in other populations of the world. The studied genetic markers are of interest as genes presumably associated with a wide range of cardiovascular diseases and can be used in further population and epidemiological studies. Therefore, the results of molecular genetic studies obtained by us in people with diseases of the cardiovascular system are of great practical importance. Timely prevention by detecting mutations of C174T, C235T of the AGT gene and C677T of the MTGFR gene in patients will allow doctors to carry out qualified treatment of cardiovascular diseases

Menino Que Passeava
Authors: Lourenço Nunes Marcos Vinicius
Published: April 2024

O artigo visa realizar uma análise fenomenológica-existencial a respeito de uma proposta terapêutica realizada entre 2019-2020 em um CAPS Infantojuvenil, cujo foco seria a realização de caminhadas, sugerida pelo próprio paciente, ao longo dos arredores de seu bairro. A partir daqui, vislumbra-se discutir a aliança possível entre a prática em Saúde Mental e a clínica fenomenológica-existencial – tendo como base autores como Merleau-Ponty, Heidegger, Augras e Feijoo – enquanto uma potente vertente a ser utilizada dentro deste campo de atuação e dentro do prisma de vazão às nuances do indivíduo em meio ao seu horizonte vivencial, sem precisar indicar concepções prévias sobre o que é o homem, uma vez que é ele, em sua relação única com o mundo, que despontará como si mesmo, clareando os passos de seu caminho. Busca-se ainda utilizar algumas obras do quadrinista Jiro Taniguchi para auxiliar nas discussões relacionadas às experiências vivenciadas pelo paciente durante as caminhadas, sendo tais quadrinhos uma ilustração fecunda sobre os possíveis benefícios que o hábito de passear pode acarretar, culminando nas reflexões sobre a sensação de leveza vital que esta prática nos proporciona e sobre as transformações que podem incidir sobre o sujeito em meio às percepções deste horizonte existencial.

O ENCONTRO DA PSICOLOGIA COM O ABSURDO
Authors: Guerra André
Published: April 2024

Este ensaio aproxima da psicologia as contribuições do literato franco argelino Albert Camus. A partir das noções de Absurdo e Revolta, propõe pensar a possibilidade da constituição de uma psicologia perspectivada como uma práxis filosófica que sustente a ocupação ética como sua especificidade. Sugere que o compromisso desse ethos absurdo seja com a dinâmica poética do viver. Menos do que técnicas, métodos ou referenciais, essa psicologia privilegiaria uma práxis criativa. Seu empenho se daria com o viver e o fazer viver de novas aberturas e deslocamentos existenciais, estes sempre renovados pela intensificação do silêncio produtivo da absurdidade radical desse ethos.

Published: April 2024

Ernst Cassirer ao procurar ampliar a crítica da razão kantiana, estabeleceu uma crítica da cultura. Ao questionar as condições da objetivação, vislumbrou a ciência como uma dasformas de acesso e captação da realidade. Mais que isso, vislumbrou-a como uma das formas derepresentação do real, juntamente com o mito, com a religião, com as artes e com a linguagem. Desenvolvimento que encontramos em sua obra capital A Filosofia das Formas Simbólicas. Neste tabalho procuramos apresentar o caminho percorrido pelo filósofo, bem como algumas de suas influências. Abordando os contornos desta Filosofia e a caracterização de cada uma das Formas Simbólicas, explorando a sua ação na constituição simbólica, na sua constituição cultural, do mundo em que vivemos. Nesta linha, nos propomos a explorar em Cassirer rapidamente, a arqueologia epistemológica sobre a qual ele se apoia, onde o espaço apresenta destaque. A partir deste ponto, nos direcionamos para o entendimento da visão cassireriana de espaço, suas implicações e suas dinâmicas, para então podermos discutir finalmente, o binômio Espaço de Ação e Espacialidades. Nesta perspectiva, nos parece haver a partir das Formas Simbólicas novas possibilidades epistemológicas.
A psicologia como ciência: a origem da fenomenologia possui fundamentos na teoria aristotélica?
Authors: Araújo Costa Sâmara
Published: April 2024

Este trabalho analisará as influências da teoria aristotélica nas origens da fenomenologia, especificamente na investigação de Franz Brentano. Debruçaremos sobre a obra em que Brentano se afirma um aristotélico e compararemos com os seus intentos de destacar a psicologia como ciência juntamente com os fundamentos da fenomenologia. Para tal também desenvolveremos a importante noção de intencionalidade para a fenomenologia. E por fim, mostraremos que Brentano não é tão aristotélico o quanto afirma.

Résumé : Cet article analyse les facteurs associés à l'expérimentation de la cigarette chez les adolescents scolarisés dans 10 pays de la Communauté Économique des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Pour ce faire, nous avons utilisé un modèle logit et les données d'Enquête mondiale sur le tabagisme chez les jeunes scolarisés de 2000-2009. Les résultats montrent que le prix élevé des cigarettes est associé à une faible probabilité d'expérimentation de la cigarette dans tous les groupes d'âge des adolescents. En outre, le tabagisme parental, la pression exercée par les pairs et les messages en faveur du tabac sont associés à une probabilité plus élevée d'expérimentation de la cigarette chez les adolescents. Une plus grande exposition à des messages pro-tabac par l'intermédiaire d'acteurs de cinéma à la télévision est associée à un risque plus élevé d'expérimentation de la cigarette chez les adolescents de moins de 12 ans et ceux de plus de 15 ans. Mots-clés : Expérimentation de la cigarette ; prix de la cigarette ; mesures de lutte antitabac. Cigarette smoking experimentation of adolescents attending school and factors associated in Economic Community of West African States Summary: This paper analyzes the factors associated with cigarette smoking experimentation of adolescents attending school in 10 countries of Economic Community of West African States. To that end, we used a logit model and data (2000-2009) from the Global Youth Tobacco Survey. Findings show that the high price of cigarettes is associated with low odds of cigarette experimentation among all age groups of adolescents. Moreover, parental smoking, peer pressure, and pro-tobacco messages are associated with higher odds of adolescent cigarette experimentation. Higher exposure to pro-tobacco messages through film actors on television is associated with a higher risk of experimenting with cigarettes among adolescents aged under 12 and those over 15. Keywords: Cigarette experimentation; cigarette price; tobacco control measures. JEL Classification: I12 - P36

Room Steering Temperature Determination with Variable Concerned of Driver Conditions Who are Sleep Deprived and Road Condition
Authors: Ferdinand Ryan , Siswanto Daniel , Susanto Sani
Published: April 2024

Among the main reasons for the high death rate worldwide are traffic accidents. The most common cause of road accidents is driver fatigue. Not getting enough sleep is one thing that makes people tired. A study on how sleep-deprived sleep-deprived drivers felt about themselves was conducted, and the results showed that they were tired. A potential preventive measure against the driver's extreme weariness is the room steering temperature. The goal of this research is to find the room temperature range that produces the most minor drowsiness is this research's goal. The research used six treatments in a 40-minute driving simulator: hot, cold, pleasant room temperature steering, and monotonous and non-monotonous road conditions. With the Electroencephalogram, one may measure one's state of sleepiness by monitoring brain wave activity. Six treatments were administered to each of the study's four young adult male participants. Teta, alpha, and beta wave powers are derived by processing data from brain wave activity using Matlab R2009A. An ANOVA test is used to discover which factors affect the degree of drowsiness by using the ratio of sleepiness level, which is determined using the equation (θ + α) /β. ANOVA test results indicated that while road conditions and room steering temperature impacted sleepiness, their interaction had no effect. Just the hot-cold level is found to be significantly different by the Tukey and Newman Keuls tests. For sleep-deprived drivers, the temperature differences between hot and cold conditions result in varying drowsiness. The research's practical conclusion is that, for sleep-deprived drivers, a hot temperature range (>26°C–29°C) can result in the lowest level of tiredness.
Questioning the Criminal Threat Formulation Policy on Electoral Crime
Authors: Waluyadi Waluyadi
Published: April 2024

Law Number 10 of 2016 should be formulated differently from other laws, as it pertains to the second amendment to Undan-Law Number 1 of 2015, which stipulates government regulations instead of Law Number 1 of 2014, which deals with the election of governors, regents, and mayors into Law. The enactment of the Law coincides with the conduct of elections, which is not less significant, and the Law's unique nature makes it so that regional head election activities are essentially administrative. The Law is enacted every five (five) years. It is essential to take these specifics into account when forming. Both at the time of application and execution, poorly formulated policies will have consequences. Furthermore, the issue that this tulip will highlight is how the Law's policy was formulated, particularly regarding the inclusion of criminal threats for those who commit electoral offenses. This study uses a normative methodology. It is a qualitative kind of study. Secondary data is what is utilized. Researching the literature is how data is gathered. Presenting the facts in a descriptive format, the analysis is prescriptive. As per the study's findings, electoral crimes are defined as administrative infractions or crimes against election provisions. The legal penalties for electoral crimes consist of imprisonment and fines, with no enforcement measures. Election crime resolution is comparatively quick and applies across Indonesia without considering the specific circumstances in each area.

Every region in this region has a distinct culture that has been passed down through the ages. Extinct cultures exist, and cultures continue to exist now. Cultural landmarks in Cirebon include the Sang Cipta Rasa Mosque. The Sang Cipta Rasa mosque's management strategies for protecting the city of Cirebon's cultural heritage have been detailed based on field research. Known for its rhombic ornate motifs known as adhan put, this mosque is distinguished by its nine incredibly short doorways. Symbolizing history, science, education, religion, and culture, this mosque is one of the few remaining examples of Islamic civilization on the island of Java. In terms of strengthening the nation's identity, it also has cultural significance.
Puderummet som sprogmiljø
Authors: Ahrenkiel Annegrethe , Holm Lars
Published: April 2024

Denne artikel diskuterer kritisk dominerende forståelser af højkvalitetssprogmiljøer som baserer sig på en fragmenteret sprogforståelse og en ideologi om “wordism”. Nymaterielle perspektiver på sprog introduceres som en alternativ teoretisk og empirisk ramme til at forstå sprogmiljøer af høj kvalitet i dagtilbud. Disse teoretiske perspektiver bruges til at analysere empiriske eksempler fra et videoetnografisk studie, som undersøgte børns sprogbrug i forskellige kontekster. Vi konkluderer, at sådanne miljøer tager højde for det faktum, at børns sprogbrug er multimodal og multisensorisk og giver børn mulighed for at bevæge sig og tale på samme tid. Børns indbyrdes sprogbrug rummer tålmodige afstemningsprocesser, som er langt mere uforudsigelige end børns kommunikation med voksne. Til sidst diskuteres de sprogpædagogiske implikationer af analyserne.

Artiklen udfolder ’digitale logbøger’ som en metode til at undersøge unges egne forståelser af og fortællinger om deres hverdagspraksisser på og med sociale medier. Med digitale logbøger logger en ung sin praksis på og med sociale medier, og på baggrund af logbogen interviewes den unge. Artiklen foreslår, at pædagoger kan anvende digitale logbøger til praksisnære undersøgelser af unges mediepraksisser som afsæt for at udvikle en fritidspædagogisk praksis med sociale medier. Med digitale logbøger etableres et undersøgende blik på unges mediepraksisser, der aftales og defineres med de unge, og som insisterer på deres ekspertviden og afgrænsningsret i forhold til indhold. Digitale logbøger giver et situeret blik på unges sociale mediepraksisser, hvilket giver mulighed for at skabe forbindelser mellem disse og det fritidspædagogiske arbejde.
Exploring medical curriculum leadership and management training: Perspectives of doctors and medical educators in Botswana
Authors: Turner A , Prozesky D , Kebaetse M , Wolvaardt J
Published: April 2024

Background. The University of Botswana Faculty of Medicine (UB FOM) is the only medical school in Botswana, and was opened to address shortages that other workforce strategies were not achieving at a sufficient rate. The UB FOM programme involves early patient contact at all levels of healthcare. Newly-graduated doctors are expected to perform managerial responsibilities, a role which few medical curricula include formal training for.
Objectives. To explore the perceptions of graduates and medical educators (MEs) on the leadership and management training in the medical curriculum in Botswana.
Methods. A non-theory driven qualitative study using thematic analysis was conducted. Twelve MEs and graduates from UB FOM were interviewed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted until data saturation was reached. Data were transcribed and analysed.
Results. Two themes were developed: Starting small to be tall and Planting the seeds. Theme 1 describes the explicit messages of being future managers and leaders unaccompanied by formal training. Theme 2 acknowledges the insufficient training and describes the call for scaffolded longitudinal leadership and management teaching, and enhanced interprofessional education.
Conclusion. Elements of leadership and management training are already included within the curriculum. The health system expectation that these graduates will immediately assume leadership and management responsibilities necessitates the strengthening of these aspects. The inclusion of critical content and further expansion of interprofessional education can be considered. The UB FOM is in a position to actualise its identified leadership and management competencies to serve the needs of its graduates and those in their care.
Zaniżanie marży handlowej jako przejaw nadużycia pozycji dominującej
Authors: Maziarz Aleksander
Published: April 2024

Zaniżanie marży handlowej stanowi nadużycie pozycji dominującej, które to nie jest wymienione bezpośrednio w art. 102 TFUE. To właśnie orzecznictwo TSUE oraz Sądu UE uznało tę praktykę za antykonkurencyjną, lecz początkowo trak­towaną ją jako antykonkurencyjną odmowę dostaw. Z uwagi na wiele podobieństw zachodzących między tymi praktykami wątpliwości budzi, czy zaniżanie marży handlowej powinno stanowić niezależny przejaw nadużycia pozycji dominującej. Celem artykułu jest poddanie analizie w tym zakresie stanowiska Komisji Euro­pejskiej z poglądami wyrażonymi w orzecznictwie, a także porównanie uregu­lowań przyjętych w Stanach Zjednoczonych.
Nadzór nad przetwarzaniem danych osobowych przez Trybunał Stanu jako naruszenie niezależności sądu

Published: April 2024

Konstytucja Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej sytuuje obowiązki spoczywające na organach władzy publicznej w granicach, w jakich mogą one przetwarzać dane osobowe, co jest niewątpliwym wzmocnieniem praw jednostki. Konstytucyjne ograniczenie zostało wyznaczone zarówno przez zasadę legalizmu, jak i zasadę demokratycz­nego państwa prawnego. Ustalenie administratora danych osobowych, a także inspektora ochrony danych osobowych w związku z postępowaniem trybunalskim, staje się istotne z punktu podmiotu, którego to dane są przetwarzane. Określenie Trybunału Stanu jako administratora danych osobowych nowelą ustawy o Trybuna­ le Stanu prowadzi do przypisania temu organowi licznych obowiązków wynikają­cych z rozporządzenia Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady (UE) 2016/679 z 27.04.2016 r. w sprawie ochrony osób fizycznych w związku z przetwarzaniem danych osobo­wych i w sprawie swobodnego przepływu takich danych oraz uchylenia dyrektywy 95/46/WE. Działając jako organ upoważniony do przetwarzania danych osobowych, Sąd odpowiada także za zgodność ich przetwarzania z prawem. Trybunał Stanu jest gwarantem realizacji praw i wolności jednostek, których to dane są przetwarzane w ramach prowadzonych przez niego działań.
Abuse of Private Vehicle Strobe Lights and Sirens: Law Enforcement from the Islamic Perspective
Authors: Rahmatullah Prayudi , Wang Basthomi
Published: April 2024

The community continues to be disturbed when strobe lights and sirens are abused. While sirens are used by private vehicles, they cause other drivers to automatically move aside to give way to the oncoming vehicle, strobes or light beams cause other drivers to feel blinded. This study employs a sociological method of empirical legal research. This study aims to examine how law enforcement uses Siyasah Dusturi­yah and Law No. 22 of 2009 to target the usage of strobes and sirens on private vehicles. Law enforcement has taken steps to enforce the law on the use of strobes and sirens, including outreach with vehicle communities, based on the findings of the research. In line with Islamic teachings, the community and students have taken into consideration various aspects, particularly when viewed through the lens of Siyasah Dusturiyah. These include highlighting the advantages of promot­ing legal compliance and awareness as well as enhancing traffic safety and comfort.

The purpose of this article is to determine the objectives of public finance law, which is part of financial law. The research problem is to answer the question of whether the findings regarding the objectives of a given branch of law can be useful in developing the specific axiology for that very branch of law. The article proves the hypothesis that the objectives of public finance law are closely linked to the protection of public values to be true. Hence, it was considered particularly expe­dient to apply axiological analysis of law to the study of axiological issues of financial policy, which plays a secondary role in relation to economic and social policy.

In birds and insects, the female uptakes sperm for a specific duration post-copulation known as the ejaculate holding period (EHP) before expelling unused sperm and the mating plug through sperm ejection. In this study, we found that Drosophila melanogaster females shortens the EHP when incubated with males or mated females shortly after the first mating. This phenomenon, which we termed male-induced EHP shortening (MIES), requires Or47b+ olfactory and ppk23+ gustatory neurons, activated by 2-methyltetracosane and 7-tricosene, respectively. These odorants raise cAMP levels in pC1 neurons, responsible for processing male courtship cues and regulating female mating receptivity. Elevated cAMP levels in pC1 neurons reduce EHP and reinstate their responsiveness to male courtship cues, promoting re-mating with faster sperm ejection. This study established MIES as a genetically tractable model of sexual plasticity with a conserved neural mechanism.

Proton-coupled oligopeptide transporters (POTs) are of great pharmaceutical interest owing to their promiscuous substrate binding site that has been linked to improved oral bioavailability of several classes of drugs. Members of the POT family are conserved across all phylogenetic kingdoms and function by coupling peptide uptake to the proton electrochemical gradient. Cryo-EM structures and alphafold models have recently provided new insights into different conformational states of two mammalian POTs, SLC15A1, and SLC15A2. Nevertheless, these studies leave open important questions regarding the mechanism of proton and substrate coupling, while simultaneously providing a unique opportunity to investigate these processes using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Here, we employ extensive unbiased and enhanced-sampling MD to map out the full SLC15A2 conformational cycle and its thermodynamic driving forces. By computing conformational free energy landscapes in different protonation states and in the absence or presence of peptide substrate, we identify a likely sequence of intermediate protonation steps that drive inward-directed alternating access. These simulations identify key differences in the extracellular gate between mammalian and bacterial POTs, which we validate experimentally in cell-based transport assays. Our results from constant-PH MD and absolute binding free energy (ABFE) calculations also establish a mechanistic link between proton binding and peptide recognition, revealing key details underpining secondary active transport in POTs. This study provides a vital step forward in understanding proton-coupled peptide and drug transport in mammals and pave the way to integrate knowledge of solute carrier structural biology with enhanced drug design to target tissue and organ bioavailability.

Introduction. A specialized service for antifungal blood level determination is not available in Colombia. This service is essential for the proper follow-up of antifungal therapies.Objective. To standardize and validate a simple, sensitive, and specific protocol based on high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector for voriconazole blood level quantification.Materials and methods. We used an Agilent HPLC™ series-1200 equipment with a UVdiode array detector with an analytical column Eclipse XDB-C18 and pre-column Eclipse-XDB-C18 (Agilent). We used voriconazole as the primary control and posaconazole as an internal control. We performed the validation following the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendations.Results. The best chromatographic conditions were: Column temperature of 25°C, UV variable wavelength detection at 256 nm for voriconazole and 261 nm for posaconazole (internal standard); 50 μl of injection volume, 0,8 ml/min volume flow, 10 minutes of run time, and mobile phase of acetonitrile:water (60:40). Finally, retention times were 3.13 for voriconazole and 5.16 minutes for posaconazole. Quantification range varied from 0.125 μg/ml to 16 μg/ml.Conclusion. The selectivity and chromatographic purity of the obtained signal, the detection limits, and the standardized quantification make this method an excellent tool for the therapeutic monitoring of patients treated with voriconazole.
Association of rotating night shift work with tooth loss and severe periodontitis among permanent employees in Japan: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Sato Yukihiro , Yoshioka Eiji , Saijo Yasuaki

Background

The modern 24/7 society demands night shift work, which is a possible risk factor for chronic diseases. This study aimed to examine the associations of rotating night shift work duration with tooth loss and severe periodontitis.

Methods

This cross-sectional study used data from a self-administered questionnaire survey conducted among 3,044 permanent employees aged 20–64 years through a Japanese web research company in 2023. The duration of rotating night shift work was assessed using a question from the Nurses’ Health Study. Tooth loss was assessed based on self-reported remaining natural teeth count. Severe periodontitis was assessed using a validated screening questionnaire comprising four questions related to gum disease, loose tooth, bone loss, and bleeding gums. We employed linear regression models for tooth loss and Poisson regression models for severe periodontitis, adjusting for demographic, health and work-related variables and socioeconomic status.

Results

Among participants included, 10.9% worked in rotating night shifts for 1–5 years, while 11.0% worked in such shifts for ≥6 years. In fully adjusted models, rotating night shift work duration of 1–5 years was associated with tooth loss (beta −0.74, 95% confidence interval (CI) [−1.55 to 0.08]) and severe periodontitis (prevalence ratio 1.80, 95% CI [1.33–2.43]); however, the association with tooth loss was not statistically significant.

Conclusions

This study supports that employees who work short-term rotating night shifts may experience poor oral conditions. Further research is needed to determine whether long-term rotating night shift work is associated with deteriorated oral health.

Assembly Systems assist the human in manufacturing by providing easy access to the assembly procedure. However, they are static systems that provide the same information to all users. Assembly Systems 4.0 are a relatively new concept that use data-driven insights to assist the human by providing context-specific information about the assembly process. Assembly Systems 4.0 should have a positive impact on reducing human error in manufacturing. In this research the utility of an Assembly System 4.0 is evaluated. Two experiments are conducted to investigate potential effects on human performance from the lens of error and failed quality parts. Through the first experiment, a laboratory simulation, it is proven that the Assembly System 4.0 can detect human error. In the second experiment, the system is compared against a traditional Assembly System. Four hundred assemblies are conducted, in a two-independent sample test. It is found that neither system prevents human error from occurring. However, how the error is treated is significant. The users of the Assembly System 4.0 detected, and corrected the errors, producing higher quality products.

Published: April 2024

The adsorption equilibrium characteristics for single and binary components of phenol and lead ions on Bamboo Chitosan Composite Bead (BCB) were studied. The surface areas of BCB beads increased with the increasing amount of Bamboo Activated Carbon (BAC) contained. Adsorption equilibrium data for the single component of phenol and lead ions on the adsorbents could be represented by the Langmuir equation. The maximum adsorption amount of lead ions on chitosan bead was 0.85 mol/kg. Multicomponent equilibrium data were correlated by the extended Langmuir and Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory (IAST). The IAST gave the best fit to our data. The adsorption capacity of lead ions on the different adsorbents was in the following order: chitosan (0.85) > BCB-1 (0.49) > BCB-2 (0.23) > BAC (0.2 mol/kg). On the other hand, that of phenol was: BAC (1.81) > BCB-2 (0.93) > BCB-1 (0.61) > chitosan (0.03 mol/kg).

Published: April 2024

Se propone un esquema computacional mediante el método de elementos discretos (DEM) combinado con el método de partículas unidas (BPM) en tres dimensiones para describir el comportamiento de fractura de rocas tipo granodiorita bajo impacto de insertos de un martillo perforador. La roca es representada por un paquete denso de partículas esféricas unidas entre sí en sus puntos de contacto. Se incluyen propiedades mecánicas y resistencia de las partículas y enlaces para obtener representaciones de daño acumulado explícitamente como enlaces rotos cuando se aplica una carga. Además, se incluye la influencia de las condiciones de operación del martillo como es la velocidad con la que impacta la superficie rocosa y el diseño de geometrías complejas, observando el desgaste del martillo y la propagación de grietas radiales producto de la interacción bit-roca. Para validar el modelo computacional, se desarrolla un estudio mediante la simulación de un ensayo de prueba brasileña y se comparan los resultados de campos de esfuerzos y gráficos de fuerza vs tiempo, con ensayos experimentales presentes en la literatura. Para ello, se investiga la influencia de las propiedades del material, cantidad de enlaces entre partículas y el tamaño de las partículas, concluyendo que estos no son parámetros libres y que al variarlos existe una correlación directa con el daño y la forma en que se fractura la roca.
