Path loss and group delay investigation for in-human body to on-human body transmission using dipole and loop antenna
Authors: Haque Md Ismail
Published: July 2024

The most critical aspects for a successful transceiver design for wireless body area communication system are path loss and group delay investigation of the human body. In this research, we used a 150 mm length dipole and 40 mm diameter loop antenna to analyze path loss and group delay at 10-60 MHz HBC band for implant communication. An anatomical human body model in the near field constituency was used with FDTD simulations to build the path loss model. For a small dipole antenna, the path loss increases by an exponent of 6.62 with distance, especially along the height direction of the body, and the average group delay is in the order of 1ns. On the other hand, the average group delay is less than 1 ns and the path loss grows by an exponent of 4.65 for a loop antenna. Finally, it is demonstrated that both antennas have good accuracy and have no effect on data speeds below 20 Mbps but the loop antenna has a better overall performance in this investigation.

Antivenom, an Essential Underused Drug
Authors: Ghose Aniruddha , Sayeed Abdullah Abu , Uddin Rabiul Alam Md Erfan , Amin Mohammad Robed , Faiz Md Abul
Published: July 2024

Antivenom has been the cornerstone of management for snake envenomation since its development and clinical use more than 100 years ago. Frequently used antivenoms are polyvalent antibodies, produced by immunizing animals. Like other protein drugs, antivenom has immunogenicity and may cause acute allergic reactions including ‘anaphylaxis’ ranging from mild to life threatening reactions. Premedication with subcutaneous adrenaline has clear benefit evidenced by reduction of number and extent of these events. Due to diversities of venom composition, to be maximally effective, antivenoms should ideally be produced by using the venoms from species of local origin.
For ensuring the ongoing safety and effectiveness of this antivenom, routine pharmacovigilance is necessary. Pharmacovigilance is a systematic, scientific study on adverse events that can be reported to concerned authority (Directorate General of Drug Administration (DGDA) in Bangladesh) by active or passive reporting. Introduction of pharmacovigilance will help to improve the monitoring and management of the AV related risks through identification and assessment of suspected drug adverse reactions,ineffectiveness, and other drug-related problems. Bangladesh drug regulatory authority (DGDA) encourages to report adverse events by health professionals following use of AV. At the same time need based distribution of AV and other logistics to the health care facilities across the country has to be established. Health authority should prioritize the need and take necessary actions to produce AV(s) using the venom from the locally collected medically important venomous snakes. Antivenom is an essential drug for managing a community emergency, snakebite envenomation.

Authors: Zabbar MA , Parveen S , Rahim MA , Huda KMK , Arif MAI , Sharif MR , Jahan I , Rashid M Harun Ur
Published: July 2024

A field experiment was carried out at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University in Dhaka from November 2021 to June 2022 using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications to assess the significance of variance, heritability, genetic advance, correlation, path coefficient and genetic diversity for different yield contributing parameters in twenty brinjal genotypes. High heritability associated with high genetic advance and high genetic advance in percentage of mean was found in plant height, individual fruit weight and percent of brinjal shoot and fruit borer infestation, which indicated selection based on phenotype would be effective. Assessments of character association indicated that fruit yield plant-1 had highest significant positive correlation with days of last harvesting (rg= 0.495, rp= 0.454), number of secondary branches plant-1 (rg=0.356, rp=0.315), leaf blade length (rg = 0.714, rp = 0.462), leaf blade width (rg = 0.674, rp = 0.498) and number of fruits plant-1 (rg= 0.798, rp= 0.787) in both genotypic and phenotypic level. Path analysis revealed that the number of flowers plant-1 (1.421) had the maximum positive and direct effect on yield plant-1. According to PCA, D2 and Cluster analysis, twenty brinjal genotypes were grouped into five different clusters- I, II, III, IV and V with three, three, four, six and four genotypes respectively. Considering magnitude of cluster mean performance and genetic parameters genotypes G10 (Choto Katali), G20 (BARI Bt Begun 2), G11 (BARI Hybrid Begun 2), G8 (BARI Begun 6), G5 (BARI Hybrid Begun 4), G18 (Local Black Long) might be used in future breeding program.

The Impact of Male Guardianship on Arab Women’s Careers in the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Cundiff Katlin
Published: July 2024

Arab countries have taken numerous steps to increase women’s labor force participation. Yet, according to many Arab countries’ labor laws, Muslim women are required to provide their potential employers a written permission to work from their legal male guardians (Mahram in Arabic). Her economic participation or career development would not be possible without Mahram’s permission. This study aims to broaden the understanding of the impact of family members on Arab women’s careers by exploring the factors that are important for Mahrams when considering allowing their female family members to work. This paper challenges the conventional career choice theories, such as the social cognitive career theory, by addressing one of its major shortcomings: the question of how free individuals are in their career choices.

Published: July 2024

The incidence of non-infectious uveitis (NIU) is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. This disease has a clinical picture similar to other eye pathologies, it becomes difficult to obtain accurate diagnosis. The research aims to review the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic approach of NIU. To achieve this objective, there was a bibliographic review study based on therapeutic guidelines and scientific articles published in MedLINE from 2018 to 2023. The evidence presented based on the investigated literature gives us that before starting to the Therapy, it is necessary to perform the proper diagnosis and choose the best therapy that preserves anatomical structures and improves the patient's vision. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the base of NIU treatment remains immunosuppressants and corticosteroids, the latter known for having eye and systemic side effects. Currently to minimize these effects, therapy has been introduced with biological products, which provides better visual acuity, reduces intraocular inflammation, decreases the systemic dose of corticosteroids and minimizes adverse effects. However, its use requires caution as it has already been reported to occur demyelinating disorders in a small group of patients. NIU is always associated with a systemic or idiopathic autoimmune condition. Thus, for a good clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic approach, it is necessary that there is close collaboration between the ophthalmologist and doctors of other specialties (rheumatologist) to have an accurate diagnosis and discard other associated comorbidities, avoiding complications that cause blindness.

Evaluating the influence of press and pulse disturbances on community dynamics of the Northeast US Large Marine Ecosystem
Authors: Fenwick IF , Heim KC , Pershing AJ , Mills KE , Lucey SM , Nye JA
Published: July 2024

As climate change intensifies, there is a pressing concern regarding how ecological communities respond to disturbances occurring at different intensities and time scales. We explored how the type of disturbance influences the dynamics of a marine community. A pulse disturbance is an abrupt, high-magnitude shift in conditions that can cause immediate and significant impacts to an ecological community. Alternatively, press disturbances are long-term, multi-generational pressures acting on communities over time. The Northeast US Continental Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem (NES LME) is one of the fastest-warming regions in the world and has experienced historic overfishing. Assemblage shifts in the NES LME have previously been characterized; however, these were prior to an unprecedented pulse disturbance marine heatwave (MHW) event in 2012 followed by punctuated MHWs over the last decade. We quantified community change across the NES LME using a community trajectory analysis, a multivariate tool that utilizes geometric analyses and comparisons of community trajectories, to quantify shifts in dynamic beta diversity. We hypothesized that the pulse MHWs would strongly influence ecosystem structure; however, no significant impact was detected. Our analysis indicates that the NES LME continues to tropicalize. However, it was not the pulse MHW events that seemed to drive change but rather ecosystem overfishing and rising temperatures. We quantified beta diversity over time in marine communities undergoing abrupt environmental changes and press disturbances. When expanded globally, this analysis can compare how variable disturbance pressures may result in different manifestations of beta diversity change within marine assemblages.

Authors: Fachrurazi Fachrurazi , Eva Faridah  , Edy Surya  , Nurdin Bukit
Published: July 2024

Aktivitas pemecahan masalah sangat jarang disentuh guru dalam proses pembelajaran matematika di kelas. Salah satu faktor penyebabnya adalah kemampuan penalaran guru sekolah dasar yang masih rendah terhadap kemampuan pemecahan masalah. Keadaan ini akhirnya berdampak pada rendahnya kemampuan penalaran siswa yang dapat diketahui salah satunya melalui hasil PISA. Maka dari itu para guru sekolah dasar perlu dibekali untuk meningkatkan kemampuan penalaran melalui pendekatan problem solving berbasis open ended. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian quasi eksperimen dengan pre-test and post-test group design. Adapun sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 29 guru sekolah dasar yang ada di kabupaten Bireuen yang dipilih secara acak berasal dari 10 sekolah dasar. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat diketahui bahwa ada perbedaan signifikan kemampuan penalaran guru sekolah dasar antara sebelum dan sesudah pelaksanaan pembelajaran dengan menggunakan pendekatan problem solving berbasis open ended. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa pendekatan problem solving berbasis open ended dapat meningkatkan kemampuan penalaran matematis guru sekolah dasar.

In recent years - the years of geopolitical instability - the public expects political scientists to understand the upcoming threats and scientifically based political forecasts. Among the existing methods and approaches of political analysis, praxeology mains the most non-theoretical subject of political science. The historical development of praxeology has shown that today it can be applied to a system of hostile actions that are an integral part of international relations. Using the example of K. Boulding’s threat system, a praxeological approach was applied to the EU’s sanctions policy against Russia. The key factors that increase the likelihood of threats and corresponding responses to them were identified. The results of the contextual study of praxeology have shown the prospect for further theoretical developments in the field of political analysis and the development of praxeology as an actual subdiscipline of political science.

Background: Severe mental disorders are associated with increased risk of metabolic dysfunction. The objective of this study was to compare metabolic profiles across three proposed pathophysiological subtypes of common mood disorders (“hyperarousal-anxious depression”, “circadian-bipolar”, and “neurodevelopmental-psychosis”). Methods: 790 young people (aged 16 to 25; mean age 20.70 ± 4.91) were recruited from early intervention mental health services between 2004 and 2024 and assigned to three mood disorder subgroups (hyperarousal-anxious depression (n = 656), circadian-bipolar (n = 95), and neurodevelopmental-psychosis (n = 39)). We conducted cross-sectional assessments and between-group comparisons of metabolic and immune risk factors. Immune-metabolic markers included body mass index (BMI), fasting glucose (FG), fasting insulin (FI), Homeostasis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA2-IR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and blood lipids. Results: There were significant between-group differences in FG (F = 3.159, p = 0.043), FI (F = 3.488, p = 0.031), and HOMA2-IR (F = 3.907, p = 0.020). Post-hoc comparisons showed fasting insulin and HOMA2-IR were significantly higher in the circadian-bipolar group as compared to hyperarousal-anxious depression (p = 0.049 and p = 0.028, respectively). We then differentiated those with the hyperarousal-anxious subtype on the on the basis of low versus high BMI (< 25kg/m2 vs. > 25kg/m2 respectively). The circadian-bipolar group had higher fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA2-IR, and HDL cholesterol than those with low BMI. Conclusions: Circadian disturbance may be driving increased rates of metabolic dysfunction among youth with emerging mood disorders, while increased BMI also remains a key determinant. Implications for assessment and early interventions are discussed.

Paleotocas são cavidades naturais que foram escavadas pela Megafauna Pleistocênica. No município de Porto União - SC existem grutas cuja origem é atribuída aos indígenas pré-colombianos. Nesse sentido, o objetivo foi testar se tais grutas foram construídas por humanos ou pela megafauna. Entre 2015-2016 foram realizadas expedições em um morro testemunho da formação Botucatu, situado na transição entre o segundo e terceiro planalto paranaense. Foi realizada a topografia subterrânea, aferindo variáveis geomorfológicas e descrição de icnofósseis. Foram identificados dois grandes túneis. O túnel “A” apresenta maior extensão enquanto o “B” exibe duas entradas que se fundem e possui menor extensão, este também exibe uma ramificação. Ao longo dos túneis predominam diferentes marcas de escavações. Os resultados permitem inferir que se tratam de paleotocas. Nesse sentido, este estudo representa um marco importante em termos de paleotocas, uma vez que os registros para o estado de Santa Catarina eram escassos.

O joão-de-barro constrói ninhos que são utilizados por outros animais, assumindo um importante papel ecossistêmico na reprodução de outras espécies, principalmente na área urbana. Neste sentido, os estudos com esta espécie têm avançado, mas os resultados são fragmentados. Portanto, esta pesquisa objetivou quantificar e sintetizar conhecimentos acumulados sobre a ave na região neotropical. Os 43 estudos encontrados foram obtidos através de busca sistemática em plataforma especializada. Como resultado, obteve-se que há acumulo de estudos sobre a espécies em uma taxa média de 0,44 estudos por ano, com significativo aumento nos últimos 20 anos. Dos três países observados o Brasil se destacou com 60,4% das pesquisas, seguido pela Argentina com 30,23% e Uruguai com 13,95%. Dentre as 11 ecorregiões em análise, a Pampa úmida se sobressaiu com 25,49% dos estudos. As linhas de pesquisa que ganharam destaque, desde os primeiros estudos no início do século XX, até ao mais recentes, continuam focados em aspectos de ecologia que envolvem a nidificação.

A despeito da escala urbana, a segregação socioespacial é um processo que expressa as dinâmicas que envolvem a produção do espaço urbano capitalista. Por se tratar de um tema de grande complexidade, reconhecemos que nossa pesquisa não busca esgotá-lo, mas evidenciar a necessidade de aprofundamento na temática em questão. Priorizamos esta pesquisa com base na cidade de Campo Mourão (PR) a partir da análise da segregação socioespacial engendrada pelo próprio Estado através do financiamento para moradias populares na constituição do Conjunto Habitacional Moradias Avelino Piacentini e do Conjunto Residencial Fortunato Perdoncini. A metodologia utilizada pautou-se em leituras bibliográficas, pesquisa documental e mapeamento, onde utilizamos imagens do Google Satélite com auxílio do software de Sistema de Informação Geográfica QGis@. Com a realização desta pesquisa, foi possível compreender as dinâmicas espaciais no espaço urbano de Campo Mourão no que concerne à segregação socioespacial expressa pela localização dos dois conjuntos habitacionais, evidenciando as diversas formas de exclusão e a dificuldade do acesso à cidade pelos seus moradores.
KLF4 is an epigenetically modulated, context-dependent tumor suppressor
Authors: Frazzi Raffaele
Published: July 2024

The epigenetic layer of regulation has become increasingly relevant in the research focused on tumor suppressors. KLF4 is a well-described zinc-finger transcription factor, mainly known for its role in the acquisition of cell pluripotency. Here we report and describe the most relevant epigenetic regulation mechanisms that affect KLF4 expression in tumors. CpG island methylation emerges as the most common mechanism in several tumors including lung adenocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, among others. Further layers of regulation represented by histone methylation and acetylation and by non-coding RNAs are described. Overall, KLF4 emerges as a crucial target in the fight against cancer.

The human gut microbiome (GM) impacts various physiological processes and can lead to pathological conditions and even carcinogenesis if homeostasis is disrupted. Recent studies have indicated a connection between the GM and prostatic disease. However, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. This review aims to provide a summary of the existing information regarding the connection between the GM and various prostatic conditions such as chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer (PCa). Furthermore, the review aims to identify possible pathogenic mechanisms and suggest potential ways of targeting GM to prevent and treat prostatic disease. Due to the complexity of the mechanism between GM and prostatic diseases, additional research is required to comprehend the association between the two. This will lead to more effective treatment options for prostatic disease.

Introduction

An important concern of research about self-regulated learning is to determine the most effective methods for its instruction in different educational settings. This also happens in foreign language learning as improving proficiency is challenging for students and self-regulation has proven effective in different educational levels.

Methods

A quasi-experimental study was designed with a treatment and a control group, and pre- and post-test for 70 undergraduate students majoring in English as a foreign language at a Chilean university. A 10-week intervention was conducted to develop self-regulation during emergency remote teaching.

Results

Findings revealed that the intervention, as implemented in the study, was successful in improving self-regulated learning, and in participants’ recognizing the practical utility of tools acquired. On the other hand, while the level of engagement remained similar after the intervention, this was seen as a protective effect of the teaching-learning strategy on motivational states.

Discussion

This research underscores the importance of self-regulated learning training in higher education to allow for students’ autonomy and agency, as well as connectedness with instructors and peers, especially during the harsh teaching conditions of sanitary confinement.
