Authors: Polyong Chan Pattama , Thetkathuek Anamai
Published: September 2023

This cross-sectional study aimed to compare the prevalence of multisystem health symptoms (MHS) of workers in gas station areas before and after their employment and examine the factors affecting the MHS of workers. Data were collected by an interview questionnaire from 200 workers inside and outside refueling areas at eight gas stations in Rayong Province, Thailand. This study found that employees had a statistically significant increase in the prevalence of current MHS in comparison to before starting work (p-value<0.05), with 31.5%. Working overtime for more than 6 hours per week led to respiratory symptoms (OR = 2.63, 95% CI = 1.14–6.07) and psychological symptoms (OR = 2.69, 95% CI = 1.12–6.49). Wearing respiratory protective equipment for less than three hours affected ear/throat/nose systems (OR = 4.26, 95% CI = 1.43–12.65). Petrol refueling resulted in liver (OR = 2.32, 95% CI = 1.4–12.65) and eye symptoms (OR = 2.57, 95% CI = 1.10–5.39). Therefore, gas station owners should set up enclosed rooms to reduce the duration of fuel exposure, and workers should wear personal protective equipment when refueling or near the dispenser.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease caused by gluten. This retrospective cross-sectional study with descriptive and analytical aims was conducted over three years, from 2018 to 2021. The participants were 280 patients diagnosed with celiac disease registered in the Gluten Intolerant and Allergic Association of the North in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region. The prevalence and incidence of celiac disease in this region were 1/135 and 1/253, respectively. The average age was 21.18 ± 1.13, and the first symptoms appeared between 10 and 25 years. The data showed a female predominance of 68% versus 32% for males, with a male/female sex ratio of 0.45. The clinical signs of celiac disease manifested more in gastrointestinal symptoms. This study obtained data on 22.6% of microcytic hypochromic anemia patients and 40.7% of Helicobacter pylori infections. In addition to celiac disease, the patients showed other pathologies with different rates: repeated spontaneous abortions (2.14%), type 1 diabetes mellitus (1.42%), autism (1.42%), dermatitis herpetiformis (0.72%), cancer(0.72%), and epilepsy (0.35%). Serologically, anti-transglutaminase antibodies were positive in 47.2% of patients. Analyses of histological data from intestinal biopsies from 141 patients were positive in 50.8% of patients. There was a minor correlation between the serological profile and the degree of atrophy.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the first pandemic in history where technologies and social media are used on a large scale to make people safe, informed, productive, and connected. At the same time, these technologies enabled the rise of the infodemic, which endangered pandemic control. This study aimed to assess COVID-19 information exposure in the community, the efforts to find related information in online media, and COVID-19 preventive behavior. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 909 participants in Indonesia using the consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire distributed through social media (WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook) and analyzed using univariate analysis, bivariate analysis (Chi-square test), and multivariate analysis (multiple logistic regression). The results showed that about 838 (92.2%) participants said they often or always obtain information about COVID-19 online, 662 (72.8%) participants stated that information from online sources increased their knowledge of the disease, and 728 (80.1%) said that online information enabled them to make preventive efforts. Marital status (AOR: 1.81, p-value = 0.002) and perceived susceptibility (AOR: 1.42, p-value= 0.011) were the most influential factors for COVID-19 preventive behaviors. Information sources and channels frequently accessed by the community must be professionally managed by the government as valuable tools for mitigating an epidemic or pandemic.

Allah has created everything by His power, One of His greatness is the creation of water which is needed by living things on this earth. Water is a very important element for the life of living things. Like plants need water to grow. There are many verses that talk about water in the Quran. In Arabic, water is called the word “al-maa”. This research was conducted to find out the meaning and nature of water in the Qur'an from a scientific perspective and the methods of the mufassirs in interpreting the Kauniyyah verses. This research is library research using the thematic interpretation method (thematic), namely collecting verses of the Qur’an related to water, conducting an analysis with the interpretation of tahlili, and then draw conclusions. The results obtained in this study are water in Arabic is called the word “almanac” It turns out that water is mentioned in the Qur'an 63 times in 41 surah, and has different kinds according to the type and benefits. The method used by the mufassir to interpret the Kauniyyah verses is to pay attention to linguistic rules, verse correlation, established scientific facts, and use a thematic approach.
Universal protocol for the isolation of channel forming membrane proteins with the recombinant expression system of E. coli.
Authors: Piselli Claudio
Published: September 2023

1 Abstract

The heterologous expression, isolation and characterization of pore forming protein is one of the most used strategy for understanding permeability properties of the biological membrane into which they are embedded. Some procedures present in literature are so empirical and long to perform, that the user can easily make mistakes. This protocol will teach you how to quantify and therefore optimize the expression of your favorite protein in E. coli using the BL21Gold(de3)ΔABCF strain. Then with a step-by-step approach, it will tell you how to separate the bacterial compartments according their solubility and then how to extract your protein in its native conformation using detergent. Finally, there is a detailed description on how to improve the purity of your protein via anion exchange chromatography. If you want to study bacterial porins reconstituted in their natural environment, here there is even the description on how to drive them into the outer membrane vesicles where they can be copurified. The protocol is easier and less empirical than the ones of most of the other membrane proteins and represents a solid base for soluble proteins as well (like enzyme or pore forming toxins). Expression time and temperature, concentration of the inducer, nature and concentration of the detergent, incubation time and temperature, purification pH, these are all the parameters that you can troubleshoot according to your results. The expression, extraction and purification will not last longer than a full day each and I have not yet found any protein which could not be isolated thanks to a derivation of this protocol.

Authors: Bennett Ryan , Slicer Kayley , Stafford Claire , Cohen Maya
Published: September 2023

Background
When COVID-19 shut down our once-perceived “normal” societal function, university athletics were forced to change how they conducted concussion baseline screening for their student-athletes. The Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Test (ImPACT) is a prominent assessment tool used amongst university athletic departments for identifying cognitive baseline functioning of collegiate athletes. The current study aimed to evaluate environmental and supervisory effects of neurocognitive baseline performance and overall symptom reports among student-athletes who took the ImPACT baseline assessment in a clinical setting or a remote environment.
Results
The four univariate ANCOVAs for Verbal Memory (p = 0.787), Visual Memory (p = 0.917), Visual Motor Speed (p = 0.261), and Impulse Control (p = 0.783) were not significantly different between groups. Additionally, the two Quade ANCOVAs for Reaction Time (p = 0.815) and Total Symptom Score (p = 0.886) were not significantly different.
Conclusion
Preliminary findings provide evidence and support that collegiate athletes can complete their baseline ImPACT in an unsupervised remote location without detriment to their performance.

Sparse Sampling MRI Reconstruction Technique via ANN
Authors: Christilin D M Annie Brighty
Published: September 2023

MRI is a viable tissue of an image. But in slow processing of image acquisition, MRI creates some noisy data. Compressed Sensing is a join mechanism of compression and sensing. So Compressed Sensing method is guiding to decrease the pattern recognition and suppress the some artifacts in MRI. However, MRI has some sparsity image which is obtained by the curvelet transformation and the reconstructed the noise data. But the issue of curvelet transformation is that it could not manipulate the sparse image. So the Patch Based Directional Curvelet Transformation (PBDCT) recovered the problem of that transformation in this research. But sparse sampling is built a hardware which is very difficult. Hence the proposed sparse sampling process is utilized for Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Experimentally, this proposed method is compared with SIDCT and PBDCT based on Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and Relative L2 Norm Error (RLNE)
A Golden-Free Unsupervised ML-Assisted Security Approach for Detection of IC Hardware Trojans
Authors: Ghimire Ashutosh , Alkurdi Mohammed , Amsaad Fathi , Rehman Md Tauhidur
Published: September 2023

Hardware Trojans are deliberate malicious hardware modifications inserted in semiconductor Integrated circuits (ICs) for the purpose of stealing or leaking sensitive information, as well as disrupting critical systems upon activation, underscoring the importance of robust detection mechanisms. Emerging hardware security research highlight the criticality of employing AI for effective detection within the semiconductor IC supply chain. The efficient detection of these malicious Trojan circuits is of utmost significance, as it holds paramount importance in cultivating trust within the semiconductor IC supply chain. However, prevailing detection methodologies, predominantly reliant on side-channel analysis, often necessitate the utilization of golden chips for validation. This paper heralds a new era in Hardware Trojan detection, harnessing the prowess of unsupervised machine learning in conjunction with side-channel analysis to eliminate the need for golden data. Through FPGA-based experimentation involving Trojans of varying dimensions, the efficacy of this innovative approach was evaluated. Employing unsupervised clustering, the methodology effectively uncovered anomalies. The application of unsupervised learning techniques not only showcased a superior false positive rate but also demonstrated a comparable accuracy level when compared to supervised counterparts such as the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) classifier, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Gaussian classifier—methods reliant on the availability of golden data for training. Notably, the proposed model exhibited an impressive accuracy rate of 93%, particularly excelling in pinpointing diminutive Trojans triggered by concise events, surpassing the capabilities of preceding techniques. In conclusion, this research advances a groundbreaking paradigm in hardware Trojan detection, accentuating its potential in bolstering the integrity of semiconductor IC supply chains.

Authors: Aldausari Rayed , Kumar Abhishek , Suzuki Ayumi , Pegelow Marie , Grigoriadis Anastasios
Published: September 2023

Objectives
To evaluate orofacial muscle strength, masticatory and swallowing function in children indicated for orthodontic treatment.
Materials and Method
Sixty-two volunteers were equally divided into an experimental group (mean age:14.9 ± 2.8, 15 girls) and a control group (15.2 ± 2.3, 15 girls) based on their orthodontic treatment needs. The orofacial muscle strength was measured by recording the maximum voluntary bite force (MVBF), tongue and cheek pressure. Additionally, the participants also performed a food comminution and mixing ability tests to measure their masticatory performance. Swallowing function was assessed with a standardized Test of Masticating and Swallowing Solids (TOMASS).
Results
The results showed significant differences in the MVBF (P = 0.009) but no differences in tongue pressure (P = 0.208) and cheek pressure (P = 0.925) between the groups. The results also showed no significant differences in food comminution test and mixing ability test between the two groups (P = 0.553, P = 0.269, respectively). The results of the TOMASS test showed significant differences in the number of bites to eat the cracker (P = 0.003) but no significant differences in number of chewing cycles (P = 0.855), number of swallows (P = 0.149) or duration to eat the cracker (P = 0.275).
Conclusions
Patients indicated for orthodontic treatments show poor orofacial muscle strength in terms of lower MVBF with the age and sex matched controls. However, the patient group does not show any signs of impaired masticatory or swallowing function.
Clinical relevance:
A comprehensive assessment of oral functions in children can enhance clinicians' evaluation of orthodontic treatment needs. MVBF could be a simple and useful tool to evaluate the orthodontic treatment needs.
GroupMO: A Memory-augmented Meta-optimized Model for Group Recommendation
Authors: Yang Wen , Hong Jiawei , Zhao Jing , Fang Junhua , Qu Jianfeng , Chao Pingfu , Zhang Ruoqian
Published: September 2023

Group recommendation aims to suggest desired items for a group of users. Existing methods can achieve inspiring results in predicting the group preferences in data-rich groups. However, they could be ineffective in supporting cold-start groups due to their sparsity interactions, which prevents the model from understanding their intent. Although cold-start groups can be alleviated by meta-learning, we cannot apply it by using the same initialization for all groups due to their varying preferences. To tackle this problem, this paper proposes a memory-augmented meta-optimized model for group recommendation, namely GroupMO. Specifically, we adopt a clustering method to assemble the groups with similar profiles into the same cluster and design a representative group profile memory to guide the preliminary initialization of group embedding network for each group by utilizing those clusters. Besides, we also design a group shared preference memory to guide the prediction network initialization at a more refined granularity level for different groups, so that the shared knowledge can be better transferred to groups with similar preferences. Moreover, we incorporate those two memories to optimize the meta-learning process. Finally, extensive experiments on two real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority of our model.
The adaptive community-response (ACR) method for collecting misinformation on social media

Published: September 2023

Social media can be a major accelerator of the spread of misinformation, thereby potentially compromising both individual well-being and social cohesion. Despite significant recent advances, the study of online misinformation is a relatively young field facing several (methodological) challenges. In this regard, the detection of online misinformation has proven difficult, as online large-scale data streams require (semi-)automated, highly specific and therefore sophisticated methods to separate posts containing misinformation from irrelevant posts. In the present paper, we introduce the adaptive community-response (ACR) method, an unsupervised technique for the large-scale collection of misinformation on Twitter (now known as 'X'). The ACR method is based on previous findings showing that Twitter users occasionally reply to misinformation with fact-checking by referring to specific fact-checking sites (crowdsourced fact-checking). In a first step, we captured such misinforming but fact-checked tweets. These tweets were used in a second step to extract specific linguistic features (keywords), enabling us to collect also those misinforming tweets that were not fact-checked at all as a third step. We initially present a mathematical framework of our method, followed by an explicat algorithmic implementation. We then evaluate ACR on the basis of a comprehensive dataset consisting of > 25 million tweets, belonging to > 300 misinforming stories. Our evaluation shows that ACR is a valid and useful tool for large-scale collection of misinformation online: Text similarity measures clearly indicate correspondence between claims of false stories and collected tweets. Taken together, ACR's efficacy is based upon three pillars: (i) the adoption of prior, pioneering research in the field, (ii) a well-formalized mathematical framework and (iii) a robust empirical proof. This triad leads us to the conclusion that ACR has the potential to make a valuable contribution to further resolve methodological challenges of the field.
An Expert System for Clinical Risk Assessment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome under Uncertainty
Authors: Karim Rezaul , Khaliluzzaman Md. , Mahmud Tanjim , chy Deepak Kumar
Published: September 2023

This paper describes a prototype clinical expert system for risk stratification of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age. It is a heterogeneous disorder of uncertain cause. Since the symptoms of PCOS are seemingly unrelated to one another the condition is often overlooked and undiagnosed. The determination of accurate degree or intensity of PCOS signs is difficult for the physician. Hence, the accuracy of the diagnostic process is difficult to achieve. The signs and symptoms of PCOS are usually expressed in qualitative and quantitative ways. Since the qualitative factors cannot measure in a quantitative way, various types of uncertainties may occur, such as incompleteness, vagueness and imprecision. For that, it is necessary to address the issue of uncertainty by using appropriate methodology. However, no existing system is able to address this issue of uncertainty. Therefore, this paper demonstrates the application of a novel method, named belief rule-based inference methodology-RIMER; this prototype can deal with uncertainties in both clinical domain knowledge and clinical data. This paper reports the development of a Belief Rule Based Expert System (BRBES) using RIMER approach, which is capable of detecting the PCOS by taking account of signs and symptoms.
A Workflow to Systematically Design Uncertainty-Aware Visual Analytics Applications
Authors: Maack Robin G. C. , Raith Felix , Perez Juan , Scheuermann Gerik , Gillmann Christina
Published: September 2023

Visual Analytics (VA) is a paradigm for insight generation by using visual analysis techniques and automated reasoning by transforming data into hypotheses and visualization to extract new insights, feeding them back into the data. This enhances the data until the desired insight is found. Many applications use this principle to provide meaningful mechanisms to assist decision-makers in achieving their goals. This process can be affected by a variety of uncertainties that can interfere with the user decision-making process. Unfortunately, there is no methodical description and handling tool to systematically include uncertainty in VA. We provide a unified workflow to transform the classic VA cycle into an uncertainty-aware Visual Analytics (UAVA) cycle consisting of five steps. Three real-world applications represent examples of the implementation of the UAVA cycle and the described workflow to prove its usability.

DOSKONAŁOŚĆ W EDUKACJI – REFLEKSJE O POTRZEBIE PRAWDY W EDUKACJI
Authors: Chrobak Stanisław
Published: September 2023

Doskonałość nie ma jednego wzoru. Zawsze możemy być doskonalsi nie tylko w tym, kim jesteśmy, ale także w tym, co robimy. W tym też kontekście zakłada się odejście od wizji wyłącznie instrumentalnej edukacji, postrzeganej jako koniecznej drogi do osiągnięcia określonych rezultatów (umiejętności, nabycie różnych zdolności, cele o charakterze ekonomicznym) i traktowanie jej funkcji w sposób integralny: spełnienie jednostki, która: uczy się, aby być. Właściwością osoby jest poznawanie, dążenie do prawdy. Prawda jako wartość poznawcza, jest zawsze związana z intelektualną pracą osoby ludzkiej. Dlatego edukacja powinna dążyć do uświadomienia jednostce jej korzeni, aby mogła mieć punkt odniesienia pozwalający usytuować się w świecie, a jednocześnie do uczenia szacunku dla innych kultur. Edukacja jest więc, z jednej strony, czynnikiem kształtowania tożsamości człowieka, z drugiej zaś nieodzownym warunkiem jego naturalnego rozwoju.

Authors: Gola Beata
Published: September 2023

Jednym z najpilniejszych wyzwań edukacyjnych w kontekście kryzysu klimatyczno-ekologicznego jest edukacja na rzecz klimatu. Obecnie łączy się ona z edukacją do zrównoważonego rozwoju, edukacją globalną i edukacją konsumencką. Zmiany klimatu przyczyniają się do nierówności i pogłębiania niesprawiedliwości społecznej. Stąd konieczność jednoczesnego przeciwdziałania utracie bioróżnorodności i kryzysowi klimatycznemu oraz ich skutkom społecznym. Pedagogika otwierając się na aktualne, globalne problemy może kształtować filozofię wychowania i kształcenia, wpływać na politykę edukacyjną, programy szkolne etc. Humanistyka ekologiczna, także za sprawą pedagogiki, może tworzyć perspektywę zmiany współczesnych paradygmatów na takie, w których w większym stopniu dostrzeżona zostanie nieinstrumentalna wartość istot pozaludzkich i potrzeba integralnej troski o całą biosferę. W artykule przedstawione zostaną rekomendacje Okrągłego Stołu w zakresie edukacji klimatycznej  w Polsce.

Published: September 2023

In our study, we wanted to determine how parents of children on the autistic spectrum, assessed their child's therapy during and before the pandemic. We tried to determine the children's participation in therapy, the change in frequency, the form and type of therapy, parental evaluation of competence and satisfaction with the therapy. For this purpose, we used a questionnaire. The results showed that almost all children participated in therapy during this period despite the limitations caused by the pandemic. However, the number of hours of therapy provided to children in institutions decreased, while that provided remotely increased. The effectiveness of the conducted therapies decreased compared to the time before the pandemic. The most negative changes in children's functioning occurred in the areas of social functioning, sensory and sensory integration. The results showed that the competence of the parents either increased or held at the same level, whilst their satisfaction in their child's therapy significantly decreased during the pandemic.

W artykule podjęto problematykę dotyczącą znaczenia relacji rodzic-dziecko dla zaangażowania rodziców w podejmowanie wspólnych inicjacji czytelniczych z dziećmi. Badania ilościowe przeprowadzone w grupie rodziców dzieci ze specjalnymi potrzebami rozwojowymi (N=198) oraz bez specjalnych potrzeb rozwojowych (N=194) pozwoliły na ustalenie związków pomiędzy deklarowanym przez obie badane grupy rodziców zaangażowaniem w podejmowanie wczesnych inicjacji czytelniczych a przejawianymi przez nich zachowaniami wspierającymi lub przymusowymi, samooceną własnych zachowań w kontakcie z dzieckiem oraz oceną zachowań dziecka, a także na rozpoznanie predyktorów zaangażowania rodziców dzieci ze specjalnymi potrzebami rozwojowymi i bez specjalnych potrzeb rozwojowych w podejmowanie wspólnych inicjacji czytelniczych z dziećmi. Wyniki badań wskazują m.in., że głównym predyktorem zaangażowania rodziców w podejmowanie wspólnych inicjacji czytelniczych w obu badanych grupach są działania wspierające/zaangażowane. Dodatkowo w grupie rodziców ze specjalnymi potrzebami rozwojowymi  wskazano na mediacyjną rolę dokonywanej przez rodziców dzieci ze specjalnymi potrzebami rozwojowymi oceny zachowań dziecka w relacji między ujawnianymi przez nich zachowaniami wspierającymi/zaangażowanymi  a  zaangażowaniem w podejmowanie wczesnych inicjacji czytelniczych z dziećmi.

Authors: Warchoł Tomasz
Published: September 2023

The article presents the results of a quantitative-qualitative study and establishes how emotional activation of elementary school students who took part in non-formal education classes occurs. The study involved a target population of 1,496 elementary school students from the Subcarpathian region, from which, the study population of 536 elementary school students was drawn. The main research method was the diagnostic survey method, in which the technique was a survey and the tool was a survey questionnaire. The research was based on five characteristics of non-formal education, which was characterized based on the subject matter of the classes held, the teacher-student relationship, motivation to learn, the use of information and communication technologies, as well as the acquisition of practical skills. Based on the research, it can be concluded that emotional activation of students participating in non-formal education classes occurs only in the form of positive emotions, i.e. ecstasy, joy, trust. It can also be concluded that the isolated scopes of emotional activation of students had the highest degree of emotional activation in the context of information and communication technologies, as well as the development of practical skills.
THE ACTIVITIES OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH REGARDING THE EXISTENCE OF BABY HATCHES AS PLACES OF CHILD CARE
Authors: Krajewska Beata
Published: September 2023

Wszelkie działania wobec dziecka powinna przenikać odpowiedzialność rodziców, troska o dobro dziecka, o jak najlepsze zaspokojenie jego potrzeb, o jakość opieki. Powinno to być elementem naturalnego środowiska wychowawczego jakim jest rodzina, ale także innych miejsc opieki nad dzieckiem, które mają na czas jakiś zastąpić rodziców w procesie wychowania, bądź ratują życie i zdrowie dziecka, otwierając możliwość jak najlepszej pieczy zastępczej. Chodzi więc o tworzenie i istnienie miejsc opieki nad dzieckiem, w czym partycypuje Kościół katolicki, który w całym swoim rozbudowanym instrumentarium wsparcia i pomocy udziela ich także dzieciom. W systemie opieki nad dzieckiem szczególna rola przypada oknom życia. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest ukazanie ich roli, ale w szczególności poprzez wpisanie jej w aktywność społeczną oraz aktywność Kościoła katolickiego, jako że to on jest przede wszystkim organizatorem takich miejsc oraz podmiotem je prowadzącym, co nie wyklucza podejmowania się przez inne podmioty aktywności w tym zakresie. Spojrzenie na okna życia przez pryzmat działalności Kościoła katolickiego jest głównym obszarem rozważań niniejszego tekstu, a poszerzone zostało o treści ukazujące wymiar tej aktywności, mianowicie dane statystyczne opieki nad dziećmi w oknach życia oraz pozytywne ich oceny, jak też zarzuty czy słowa krytyki wobec nich.
Astragaloside IV Regulates Insulin Resistance and Inflammatory Response
of Adipocytes via Modulating MIR-21/PTEN/PI3K/AKT Signaling
Authors: Guo Xuxi , Yin Taoqing , Chen Dongni , Xu Shuai , Ye Renqun , Zhang Yue
Published: September 2023

Background:

The progression of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) can lead to various complications. Compounds derived from natural products have been found to be effective in com-batting T2DM. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) on insulin resistance and the inflammatory response of adipocytes. The study also aimed to determine the downstream signaling pathways involved.

Materials and Methods:

The glucose consumption of adipocytes was assessed using a glucose assay kit. qRT-PCR, Western blot, and ELISA assays were used to measure mRNA and protein levels. The interaction between miR-21 and PTEN was assessed using a Dual-luciferase reporter assay.

Results:

The results showed that AS-IV increased glucose consumption and the expression of GLUT-4 in adipocytes with insulin resistance in a concentration-dependent manner. However, AS-IV decreased the protein levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in these cells. Additionally, AS-IV up-regulated miR-21 expression in adipocytes with insulin resistance in a concentration-dependent manner. Fur-thermore, miR-21 overexpression increased glucose consumption and GLUT-4 expression but de-creased TNF-α and IL-6 protein levels in adipocytes. Conversely, miR-21 inhibition attenuated the AS-IV-induced increase in glucose consumption and GLUT-4 expression and the decrease in TNF-α and IL-6 protein levels in adipocytes. MiR-21 also inversely regulated PTEN in adipocytes, and PTEN overexpression had effects similar to miR-21 inhibition in AS-IV-treated adipocytes. Fi-nally, AS-IV up-regulated p-PI3K and p-AKT protein expression in adipocytes, which was atten-uated by miR-21 inhibition.

Conclusion:

The study concluded that AS-IV attenuated insulin resistance and the inflammatory response in adipocytes. The mechanistic studies indicated that AS-IV modulated the miR-21/PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling in adipocytes to exert these effects.
7. Constituição, Descentralização e Regionalização
Authors: Oliveira António Cândido de
Published: September 2023

De acordo com a Constituição da República Portuguesa, a organização democrática do Estado compreende, desde há 47 anos, para além de freguesias e de municípios em todo o território, a existência de regiões administrativas, no Continente, e de regiões autónomas, nos arquipélagos dos Açores e da Madeira. No entanto, a Constituição está por cumprir no que diz respeito às regiões administrativas. Tal ficou a dever-se a um recuo do Partido Socialista, em 1997, cedendo a um ultimato do Partido Social Democrata, e à atual redação da Constituição que resultou da revisão feita nesse mesmo ano. Dela adveio um regime da criação de regiões que é convidativo a uma rejeição de qualquer divisão regional do país. A essa luz, entende-se que, no contexto da revisão em curso, deveria retirar-se da Constituição a obrigatoriedade da criação de regiões, tornando-a facultativa. Haveria regiões no Continente apenas se a vontade da maioria na Assembleia da República e um eventual referendo popular fossem nesse sentido. No quadro institucional atual, pode afirmar-se que temos uma democracia consolidada a nível nacional e local, mas não a nível regional. A falta de uma democracia regional afasta-nos dos países da Europa com democracias consolidadas.

Biografía de un cimarrón. Relato testimonial y parcial acerca de la evolución de la esclavitud en Cuba
Authors: Luna Tolentino José Oscar , Gálvez Gutiérrez Pablo Aftab
Published: September 2023

En el presente artículo analizamos la Biografía de un cimarrón (1966) de Miguel Barnet, quien compila los testimonios del otrora esclavo Esteban Montejo. Nuestro análisis se basa en la teoría de la decolonización, principalmente en obras como el Discurso sobre el colonialismo de Aimé Césaire, Los condenados de la tierra de Frantz Fanon, y los conceptos “zona del ser” y la “zona del no-ser” de Ramón Grosfoguel. Analizamos y reflexionamos sobre los procesos de colonización que se desarrollan en la obra de Barnet, enfocándonos en tres ejes fundamentales: la esclavitud, las formas de violencia basadas en el racismo, y los aspectos de la cultura afrocubana. También, complementamos nuestro abordaje con referencias históricas, sociales, políticas y culturales de grandes pensadores como Juan Bosch, Germán Arciniegas, y Eduardo Galeano, cuyas ideas permiten ahondar en este proceso tan complejo que aún puede percibirse en las neocolonizaciones, opresiones, y formas de control y dominio que se ejercen no sólo en el Caribe, sino en toda América Latina. Con todo este trasfondo a la vista, nos animamos a proponer una premisa que hemos dado en denominar cimarronaje ideológico.
