The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern (VOC), Omicron, has been characterized by an explosive number of cases in almost every part of the world. The dissemination of different sub-lineages and recombinant genomes also led to several posterior waves in many countries. The circulation of this VOC and its major sub-lineages (BA.1 to BA.5) was monitored in community cases and in international travelers returning to Venezuela by a rapid partial sequencing method. The specific sub-lineage assignment was performed by complete genome sequencing. Epidemic waves of SARS-CoV-2 cases were observed among international travelers during 2022, a situation not seen before December 2021. The succession of the Omicron VOC sub-lineages BA.1 to BA.5 occurred sequentially, except for BA.3, which was almost not detected. However, the sub-lineages generally circulated two months earlier in international travelers than in community cases. The diversity of Omicron sub-lineages found in international travelers was related to the one found in the USA, consistent with the most frequent destination of international travel from Venezuela this year. These differences are compatible with the delay observed sometimes in Latin American countries in the circulation of the different lineages of the Omicron VOC. Once the sub-lineages were introduced in the country, community transmission was responsible for generating a characteristic distribution of them, with a predominance of sub-lineages not necessarily similar to the one observed in travelers or neighboring countries.

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity were associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between markers of inflammation, disease severity, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and outcomes in COVID-19 patients with and without diabetes and obesity. Materials and Methods: Epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory data were collected from the University Hospital of Ioannina COVID-19 Registry and included hospitalized patients from March 2020 to December 2022. The study cohort was divided into three subgroups based on the presence of DM, obesity, or the absence of both. Results: In diabetic patients, elevated CRP, IL-6, TRG/HDL-C ratio, and TyG index, severe pneumonia, and hyperglycemia were associated with extended hospitalization. Increased IL-6, NLR, and decreased PFR were associated with a higher risk of death. In the obese subgroup, lower levels of PFR were associated with longer hospitalization and a higher risk of death, while severe lung disease and hyperglycemia were associated with extended hospitalization. In patients without DM or obesity severe pneumonia, NLR, CRP, IL-6, insulin resistance indices, and hyperglycemia during hospitalization were associated with longer hospitalization. Conclusion: Inflammatory markers and disease severity indices were strongly associated with disease outcomes and hyperglycemia across all subgroups.
Usefulness of Docking and Molecular Dynamics in Selecting Tumor Neoantigens to Design Personalized Cancer Vaccines: A Proof of Concept
Authors: Amaya-Ramirez Diego , Martinez-Enriquez Laura Camila , Parra-López Carlos
Published: June 2023

Personalized cancer vaccines based on neoantigens are a new and promising treatment for cancer; however, there are still multiple unresolved challenges to using this type of immunotherapy. Among these, the effective identification of immunogenic neoantigens stands out, since the in silico tools used generate a significant portion of false positives. Inclusion of molecular simulation techniques can refine the results these tools produce. In this work, we explored docking and molecular dynamics to study the association between the stability of peptide–HLA complexes and their immunogenicity, using as a proof of concept two HLA-A2-restricted neoantigens that were already evaluated in vitro. The results obtained were in accordance with the in vitro immunogenicity, since the immunogenic neoantigen ASTN1 remained bound at both ends to the HLA-A2 molecule. Additionally, molecular dynamic simulation suggests that position 1 of the peptide has a more relevant role in stabilizing the N-terminus than previously proposed. Likewise, the mutations may have a “delocalized” effect on the peptide–HLA interaction, which means that the mutated amino acid influences the intensity of the interactions of distant amino acids of the peptide with the HLA. These findings allow us to propose the inclusion of molecular simulation techniques to improve the identification of neoantigens for cancer vaccines.

Published: June 2023

The 2022 global outbreaks of monkeypox virus (MPXV) and increased human-to-human transmission calls for the urgent development of countermeasures to protect people who cannot benefit from vaccination. Here, we describe the development of glycovariants of 7D11, a neutralizing monoclonal IgG antibody (mAb) directed against the L1 transmembrane protein of the related vaccinia virus, in a plant-based system as a potential therapeutic against the current MPVX outbreak. Our results indicated that 7D11 mAb quickly accumulates to high levels within a week after gene introduction to plants. Plant-produced 7D11 mAb assembled correctly into the tetrameric IgG structure and can be easily purified to homogeneity. 7D11 mAb exhibited a largely homogeneous N-glycosylation profile, with or without plant-specific xylose and fucose residues, depending on the expression host, namely wild-type or glycoengineered plants. Plant-made 7D11 retained specific binding to its antigen and displayed a strong neutralization activity against MPXV, as least as potent as the reported activity against vaccinia virus. Our study highlights the utility of anti-L1 mAbs as MPXV therapeutics, and the use of glycoengineered plants to develop mAb glycovariants for potentially enhancing the efficacy of mAbs to combat ever-emerging/re-emerging viral diseases.

(1) Background: SARS-CoV-2 T cell immunity is rapidly activated following SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination and is crucial for controlling infection progression and severity. The aim of the present study was to compare the levels of T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 between cohorts of subjects with hybrid immunity (convalescent and vaccinated), vaccinated naïve (non-exposed) and convalescent unvaccinated subjects. (2) Methods: We performed a retrospective descriptive analysis of data collected from the medical records of adult individuals who were consecutively examined at a large, private Medical Center of Attica from September 2021 to September 2022 in order to be examined on their own initiative for SARS-CoV-2 T cell immunity response. They were divided into three groups: Group A: SARS-CoV-2 convalescent and vaccinated subjects; Group B: SARS-CoV-2 naïve vaccinated subjects; Group C: SARS-CoV-2 convalescent unvaccinated subjects. The SARS-CoV-2 T cell response was estimated against spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) structural proteins by performing the methodology T-SPOT.COVID test. (3) Results: A total of 530 subjects were retrospectively included in the study, 252 females (47.5%) and 278 (52.5%) males ranging from 13 to 92 years old (mean 55.68 ± 17.0 years). Among them, 66 (12.5%) were included in Group A, 284 (53.6%) in Group B and 180 (34.0%) in Group C. Among the three groups, a reaction against S antigen was reported in 58/66 (87.8%) of Group A, 175/284 (61.6%) of Group B and 146/180 (81.1%) of Group C (chi-square, p < 0.001). Reaction against N antigen was present in 49/66 (74.2%) of Group A and in 140/180 (77.7%) of Group C (chi-square, p = 0.841). The median SFC count for S antigen was 24 (range from 0–218) in Group A, 12 (range from 0–275) in Group B and 18 (range from 0–160) in Group C (Kruskal–Wallis test, p < 0.001; pairwise comparisons: groups A–B, p < 0.001; groups A–C, p = 0.147; groups B–C, p < 0.001). The median SFCs count for N antigen was 13 (range 0–82) for Group A and 18 (range 0–168) for Group C (Kruskal–Wallis test, p = 0.27 for A–C groups). (4) Conclusions: Our findings suggest that natural cellular immunity, either alone or combined with vaccination, confers stronger and more durable protection compared to vaccine-induced cellular immunity.

Published: June 2023

A growing population increases the demand for food, but short shelf-lives and microbial hazards reduce supply and increase food waste. Fresh fish is highly perishable and may be consumed raw, such as salmon in sushi. This work aims to identify strategies to improve the shelf-life and safety of fresh salmon, using available methods (i.e., vacuum) and exploring the use of natural preservatives (i.e., seasonings). Vacuum packaging and good hygiene practices (which reduce initial flora) extended shelf-life up to 20 days. Carnobacterium maltaromaticum was dominant in vacuum packaging conditions and showed potential for inhibiting Listeria monocytogenes. For natural preservatives, L. monocytogenes required higher inhibitory concentrations in vitro when compared to the 10 spoilage bacteria isolated from fresh salmon fillets, presenting a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.13% for oregano essential oil (OEO), 10% for lemon juice, 50 mg mL−1 for garlic powder, and >10% for NaCl. A good bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect was observed for a mixture containing 5% NaCl, 0.002% OEO, 2.5% lemon juice, and 0.08 mg mL−1 garlic powder. Finally, using the salmon medium showed an adequate correlation with the commercial culture medium.
A Study on Water Rights Allocation in Transboundary Rivers Based on the Transfer and Inequality Index of Virtual Water
Authors: Xu Xia , Yuan Jing , Yu Qianwen
Published: June 2023

Virtual water exerts an essential effect on water resources, yet such effect is rarely considered in current studies on water rights allocation in transboundary rivers. Hence, this paper ran a case study on Taihu Lake Basin, collecting data from 2017 to make clear the physical water rights of four regions—Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province, Anhui Province, and Shanghai City—in the Basin. After that, the multiregional input–output (MRIO) approach was utilized to measure the trade in value-added (TiVA) transfer and virtual water transfer (VWT) and construct an inequality index of VWT (VWI). Next, water efficiency coefficient was employed to convert the VWT into riparian level. Finally, VWT and VWI were incorporated into the water rights allocation model to form up a water rights allocation scheme for Taihu Lake Basin. Results showed: (1) Jiangsu enjoys the most allocated physical water rights, followed by Zhejiang, and Anhui ranks the lowest; (2) Anhui and Jiangsu are net virtual water exporters (2.259 billion m3 and 1.78 billion m3, respectively), while Zhejiang and Shanghai are net importers (2.344 billion m3 and 1.695 billion m3, respectively); (3) Anhui suffers the most inequality—0.4401—followed by 0.5076 of Jiangsu, while Zhejiang has the most equal environment—0.7012; (4) after the inclusion of virtual water, the quantity of water rights allocation changes, whereas Anhui experiences the largest growth—144 million m3—due to the dual effects from the highest VWT and inequality. In conclusion, the effect of virtual water is indispensable, so VWT and VWI should both be considered in the physical water rights allocation of transboundary rivers.
A New Model for Solving Hydrological Connectivity Inside Soils by Fast Field Cycling NMR Relaxometry
Authors: Conte Pellegrino , Nicosia Alessio , Ferro Vito
Published: June 2023

In this paper, a new quantitative approach for estimating the structural and functional connectivity inside soil by Fast Field Cycling (FFC) NMR relaxometry is presented, tested by measurements carried out in three samples with different texture characteristics. Measurements by FFC NMR relaxometry have been carried out using water-suspended samples and Proton Larmor frequencies (νL) ranging in the 0.015–35 MHz interval. Two non-degraded soil samples, with different textural characteristics, and a degraded soil collected in a badland area, were analyzed. For a given soil and any applied Proton Larmor frequency, the distribution of the longitudinal relaxation times, T1, (i.e., relaxogram) measured by FFC NMR has been integrated, and the resulting S-shaped curve (i.e., relaxogram integration curve) was represented, for the first time, by Gumbel’s diagram. This new representation of the relaxogram integration curve, transforming the S-shaped curve into a straight line, allowed for distinguishing three linear components, corresponding to three different relaxation time ranges, characterized by three different slopes. Two points, identified by the abrupt slope changes of the relaxogram integration curve plotted in Gumbel’s diagram, are used to identify two characteristic values of relaxation time, T1A and T1B, which define three well-known pore size classes (T1 < T1A micro-pores, T1A < T1 < T1B meso-pores, and T1 > T1B macro-pores). The relaxogram integration curve allowed for calculating the non-exceeding empirical cumulative frequency, F(T1), corresponding to the characteristic T1A and T1B values. The analysis demonstrated that the relaxogram can be used to determine the pore-size ranges of each investigated sample. Finally, using the slope values of the three components of the relaxogram integration curve, a new definition of the Structural Connectivity Index, SCI, and Functional Connectivity Index, FCI, was proposed.

The Maintenance of dental and oral health is one of the efforts to improve body health. One of the causes, why a person is less concerned with dental and oral health problems, is the lack of knowledge about dental and oral health. Caring is one form of real action, which is done by someone in response to a problem. Based on Lawrence Green's theory, the behavior itself is influenced by predisposing factors, which include knowledge, confidence, beliefs, and attitudes. The goal of this study is to determine the relationship between dental and oral health knowledge and concern for maintaining dental and oral health among Junior High School students 2 Solokanjeruk. The research method used analytical research with a cross-sectional approach. The population of this study amounted to 146 people. The data is processed and presented in a frequency distribution table and cross-tabulation. The results of this study showed that there was no relationship between the level of dental and oral health knowledge to concern about maintaining the dental and oral health of Junior High School students 2 Solokanjeruk.

Good oral health can be realized through knowledge and good and correct behavior towards the maintenance of dental and oral health. Knowledge is a factor that forms erroneous behaviors and attitudes towards maintaining dental and oral health. A person who has never experienced dental care is more likely to arise anxiety. This study aims to analyze the knowledge picture of the impactation of the third molar teeth and the level of anxiety of the odontectomy action. This type of research is a literature study. Data collection based on the study of literature data is then analyzed. The results of the literature analysis study concluded that the third molar dental impaction knowledge was in the moderate category with a percentage of 74.1%. The results of the study on the level of anxiety showed that before odotectomy, they did not experience anxiety with a percentage of 57%. The results of the literature from Pratiwi's research (2021) show that having a level of knowledge either does not experience anxiety or has lower anxiety. So it can be concluded that the higher a person's knowledge, the lower the level of anxiety felt. Supported by the research of Bachri (2017) that the level of knowledge affects the awareness and understanding of stimuli.

Authors:   Mariupol State University, Lanska S.
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the definition of modern characteristics of the labor market of Ukraine, which have become widespread in the conditions of the development of digitalization of the economy. Approaches to defining the content of the “digital economy” category in scientific literature are analyzed. The author's interpretation of the digital economy is offered. It was concluded that transformational changes in the labor market are conditioned by the influence of the digital economy. The main global trends in the labor market, which were caused by the rapid development of the digital economy, are considered. The conditions for the formation of the digital economy in Ukraine have been studied. The main goals of the digital development of the state and the main tasks of the development of digital competences approved in regulatory documents were considered. The existing forecasts regarding the ratio of labor supply and demand in Ukraine have been studied and evaluated. It was concluded that it is impossible to make reliable forecasts regarding the indicators of the development of the Ukrainian labor market in the near future. It is substantiated that it is extremely important for Ukraine to take into account the two-vector impact of digitalization on the labor market (reduction in the need for labor due to the automation of production processes and the probability of creating new jobs as a result of digitalization). Also of great importance are the leading global macro trends in the economy in terms of employee empowerment. The achievements of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine regarding the improvement of digital literacy and the development of digital skills of citizens (in particular, those services related to the regulation of relations on the labor market) are emphasized. It was concluded that Ukraine should already today form a scientifically based plan for the development of the national labor market, taking into account the introduction of information and communication technologies. This plan will be of great importance during the recovery of the state's economy in the future. Keywords: digital economy, digitalization, digital technologies, modernization, labor market, employment.

El Museo de la Patagonia “Dr. Francisco P. Moreno” perteneciente al Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi de la Administración de Parques Nacionales (MP) es el reservorio por excelencia de colecciones arqueológicas, etnográficas e históricas de Norpatagonia y la zona andina. Dentro de los objetivos del Plan de Gestión del Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi se estableció como prioridad la actualización de su inventario arqueológico. En ese contexto se abordó la colección “Andrés Giai” producida como resultado de exploraciones encomendadas por la dirección del museo en 1943. Posibles desacuerdos entre Giai y la gestión institucional produjeron que los objetos arqueológicos se resguardaran sin documentación asociada complejizando su conservación y estudio. Desde una perspectiva transdisciplinar, que propone sumar aportes de los campos de la arqueología, la historia y el análisis de ciencia de los materiales, el presente artículo da cuenta del entramado de evidencias documentales asociadas a las exploraciones, colecciones y gestión del Museo. Así logramos identificar documentación, trazar el recorrido de la misma y contexto histórico a la colección arqueológica del MP, principalmente, rearmar un repositorio múltiple para el conjunto de la colección Giai. En este sentido, este trabajo permite comenzar a transformar las condiciones de patrimonialización y accesibilidad de estas colecciones museológicas.

En este trabajo analizo los sentidos generizados de lo público que se ponen en juego cuando un grupo de mujeres se apropia de un espacio construido históricamente como masculino: la cancha de fútbol. Basándome en el trabajo de campo etnográfico realizado junto a La Nuestra Fútbol Feminista y adoptando una perspectiva histórico-dialéctica de lo público, examino las relaciones sociales, los significados y las prácticas que (re)constituyen los sentidos de lo público (y lo privado) en torno a la cancha Güemes de la Villa 31. Identifico las rupturas generadas por la irrupción de las mujeres en este espacio, analizo los relatos que se articulan en torno a la conquista de la cancha, y exploro las reconfiguraciones de la relación entre lo público y lo privado que conlleva este proceso. Por último, muestro que la politización del oikos y la oikonización del espacio público pueden ser procesos simultáneos y mutuamente interdependientes.

Authors: Kurniawati Ajeng Dyah
Published: June 2023

Konsentrat tomat adalah salah satu produk olahan tomat yang banyak digunakan di industri. Konsentrat tomat lebih banyak digunakan di industri karena memiliki umur simpan yang lebih lama sehingga lebih awet dibandingkan tomat segar serta mempermudah dalam proses distribusi dan penyimpanan. Evaporasi merupakan proses yang penting dalam pembuatan konsentrat tomat. Hal ini karena suhu yang digunakan pada proses evaporasi memungkinkan terjadinya kerusakan komponen pigmen karotenoid yang dapat mempengaruhi warna dan nilai gizi dari produk yang dihasilkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan parameter kinetic pada reaksi degradasi thermal karotenoid pada proses evaporasi pembuatan konsentrat tomat. Pada penelitian ini, pengaruh suhu evaporasi pada kadar karotenoid dilakukan pada suhu 50 – 70 °C. Proses evaporasi mengakibatkan penurunan konsentrasi karotenoid pada produk akhir yang dihasilkan. Kinetika degradasi thermal karotenoid pada proses pembuatan konsentrat tomat ini mengacu pada orde reaksi satu dengan nilai R2 > 0.90. Model Arhennius mampu menjelaskan perubahan yang terjadi pada karotenoid selama proses evaporasi. Energi aktivasi dari reaksi degradasi karotenoid yang diperoleh adalah 73,03 KJ.mol-1.

It is of great significance to design and innovate electrode materials with unique structures to effectively optimize the electrochemical properties of the secondary battery. Herein, inspired by neuron networks, an ingenious synthesis is proposed to fabricate NiSe with multidimensional micro-nano structures, followed by in situ construction of NiSe/NiO heterostructures via a temporary calcination. The major structure of bulk NiSe synthesized by the solvothermal method is 3-dimensional micron cluster spherical particles interwoven by uniform one-dimensional nanofibers. Such structures possess the synergistic advantages of nano and micro materials. After a temporary calcination in air, NiSe/NiO heterostructures should be formed in the bulk NiSe, which provides a built-in electric field to enhance diffusion kinetics of sodium ions. This special neural-like network and heterojunction structures ensure the excellent structural stability combined with rapid kinetics of the electrode, releasing 310.9 mAh g

This is beneficial for passivating nonradiative recombination defects, suppressing halide phase segregation, and facilitating carrier extraction. Subsequently, the device with GHJ delivered a champion efficiency of 20.30% and superior stability in ambient air and under 85 °C. Finally, we achieved a recorded efficiency of 30.91% for 4-terminal WBG perovskite/TOPCon tandem silicon solar cells. Our findings demonstrate a promising approach for fabricating efficient and stable WBG PSCs through the formation of GHJ.

The article explores the opinion of officers of Independent Counter-Terrorist Sub-Division of the Regional Police Headquarters in Cracow (ICTS RPH) on police counter-terrorism preparedness in Poland. In view of the many clandestine activities in the field of counter-terrorism, it was concluded that only the assessment of those involved in counter-terrorism can be reliable. It is assumed that only knowledge of the issue gives proper basis for reliable conclusions and recommendations. Therefore, the opinions of one of the sixteen ICTS RPH in Poland were chosen as the subject of the study. The research aim was to determine how officers evaluate the activities of the Police in the field of counter-terrorism in Poland, and what change(s) would they recommend? The study was conducted using the diagnostic survey method. The empirical research has a sample representing 96% of the surveyed population. The theoretical part locates ICTS RPH in the hierarchy of counter-terrorism authorities in Poland and explains it’s legal regulations. The structure of the ICTS RPH and selected aspects of its activities are also described in that section. Empirical studies have shown that officers bound the effectiveness of counterterrorism operations to the quality of training. They also made recommendations for changes to improve counter-terrorism operations.

Authors: Butoracová Šindleryová Ivana , Garaj Michal
Published: June 2023

Technological advances and the use of websites have become mandatory tool for any political entity trying to succeed in the competition for votes. The main objective of the study is to identify the level of effectiveness of political communication on the websites of selected political parties in Slovakia. The evaluation is based on the application of the framework for functionality and effectiveness of communication of political parties and their candidates on websites. According the framework applied, the partial objectives represent the identification of information flows on website in five different ways: from the bottom up, from the top down, horizontal, asynchronous and synchronous. A structured review of the research on the issue provides a basic perspective for identifying similarities, differences, challenges, and positives, as well as the possibility to carry out a comprehensive confrontation with the study’s findings. The analysis focuses on the environment of the Slovak Republic, looking at the example of eight selected political parties from the period of the last elections – 2020. The data collection used techniques according to the nature of the examined indicators set according to the framework. To evaluate the data, we apply basic statistical analyses with a comparative form of presentation. The findings demonstrate a medium to higher degree of effectiveness of the communication of selected political parties on the websites. The quality and scope of the information provided on websites is also currently related to the length of time in the party system, regardless length of representation in the parliament. According to study results the deficits primarily appear when providing answers to questions outside of published information, using an interactive form of content or more active cooperation with partner websites. The observed state of the selected cases demonstrates the one-way nature of the provision of information from the subject to the recipient.
