Unsteady Squeezing Flow and Heat Transfer Analysis of Magnetohydrodynamic Third-grade Nanofluid between Two Disks Embedded in a Porous Medium subjected to Thermal Radiation using Homotopy Perturbation Method
Authors: Sobamowo Gbeminiyi Musibau , Yinusa Ahmed Amoo , Waheed Mufutau Adekojo , Siqueira Antonio Marcos de Oliveira
Published: November 2022

The non-linear behaviours of non-Newtonian fluids under various flow conditions continue to arouse research interests in recent times. In this work, nonlinear analysis of unsteady squeezing flow and heat transfer of a third-grade nanofluid between two parallel disks embedded in a porous medium under the influences of thermal radiation and temperature jump boundary conditions is studied using homotopy perturbation method. The parametric studies from the series solutions show that for a suction parameter greater than zero, the lower disc's radial velocity increases while that of the upper disc decreases as a result of a corresponding increase in the viscosity of the fluid from the lower squeezing disc to the upper disc. An increasing magnetic field parameter and the radial velocity of the lower disc decrease while that of the upper disc increases. There is a recorded decrease in the fluid temperature profile as the Prandtl number increases due to a decrease in the third-grade fluid's thermal diffusivity. The results of this work can be used to advance the analysis and study of third-grade nanofluid flow behavior and heat transfer processes.

Ruch jako antidotum na negatywne skutki pandemicznego zdalnego nauczania w szkołach
Authors: Umiastowska Danuta
Published: November 2022

Sytuacja, w jakiej znalazły się szkoły, uczelnie, rodzice i dzieci, prowokuje do podjęcia rozważań w poszukiwaniu odpowiedzi na pytanie: „Co dalej?”. Organizacja życia uczących się i nauczających, która zmusiła obie strony do spędzania długiego czasu przed monitorami komputerów, skutkowała znacznym obniżeniem czasu poświęcanego na aktywność fizyczną. Zamknięcie wielu instytucji i ograniczenie dostępu do infrastruktury sportowo-rekreacyjnej uruchomiło mechanizmy twórcze wśród wielu nauczycieli wychowania fizycznego. W wielu też przypadkach zmianom uległo spojrzenie rodziców na pracę szkoły i nauczycieli. Prezentowany tekst jest studium poświęconym refleksjom badacza nad konsekwencjami ograniczeń epidemiologicznych w naszym społeczeństwie.

Ocena jakości wsparcia instruktażowego zawodników przez sędziego podczas rywalizacji dzieci w rugby
Authors: Firek Wiesław
Published: November 2022

Wsparcie instruktażowe zawodników należy do obowiązków sędziego i jest częścią jego edukacyjnej funkcji w sporcie dzieci i młodzieży. Stąd celem badań była ocena jakości interakcji sędziów rugby z zawodnikami w wieku 6‒12 lat w zakresie instruowania zawodników oraz komunikowania decyzji. W pracy wykorzystano metodę obserwacji ustrukturyzowanej. Komunikaty werbalne były rejestrowane przy pomocy bezprzewodowych interkomów, a pracę sędziego rejestrowała kamera wideo. Istotność różnic pomiędzy ocenami w poszczególnych wskaźnikach zbadano testem zgodności Chi-kwadrat, natomiast do porównania średnich ocen zmiennych „instruowanie” oraz „komunikowanie decyzji” użyto nieparametrycznego testu znaków rangowanych Wilcoxona. Test U Manna-Whitneya wykorzystano do sprawdzenia, czy doświadczenie sędziowskie jest czynnikiem determinującym ocenę jakości pracy sędziego z zawodnikami. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań wykazały, że sędziowie w wymiarze instruowania i komunikowania decyzji, w siedmiopunktowej skali, uzyskali średnią ocen na poziomie „średnim”, odpowiednio 4,13 pkt oraz 5,04 pkt. Wyniki te oznaczają, że sędziowie w tych wymiarach edukacyjnej funkcji mają jeszcze możliwość, by się poprawić. Na podstawie wyników sformułowano następujące wnioski: 1. W programie szkolenia i doskonalenia sędziów powinny znaleźć się treści z pedagogiki, szczególnie te dotyczące potrzeb rozwojowych dzieci w różnym wieku; 2. Do programów szkoleniowych należałoby włączyć treści z zakresu umiejętności odpowiedniego komunikowania decyzji, gdyż nie są one bez znaczenia dla doświadczeń edukacyjnych młodych sportowców; 3. Obserwatorzy i ewaluatorzy pracy sędziów Polskiego Związku Rugby powinni zwracać uwagę sędziom na obowiązek odpowiadania na poznawcze potrzeby dzieci i młodzieży związane z nieznajomością przepisów gry lub problemami z ich interpretacją.

El exilio del sujeto : mitos modernos y posmodernos
Authors: Rizo-Patrón de Lerner Rosemary
Published: November 2022

La "muerte", "elisión" o "exilio del sujeto", frecuentemente declarada, no es algo que caracteriza solamente a la filosofía contemporánea, post-heideggeriana y posmoderna. La crítica que Husserl dirigió a los filósofos modernos racionalistas y empiristas por igual consisitió precisamente en reprocharles que sus interpretaciones "objetivistas, tecnisistas y fisicalistas" de la ciencia moderna —matematizada desde Galileo— no solamente introdujeron un "olvido" de su fundamento de sentido en el mundo de la vida, sino que terminaron concibiendo a la conciencia como una res, una substancia cogitans, esto es "un pequeño pedazo de mundo". Reduciéndola a una simple y parte de la natura naturata, se les terminó escapando el sentido más profundo y más inasible desde el paradigma naturalista clásico— de la "vida del sujeto". Rosemary Rizo Patrón de Lerner, autora de este libro, mencion que fue precisamente Hume quien, con su escepticismo pirrónico, se aproximó más que cualquier otro filósofo moderno a poner en tela de juicio dicho paradigma; lamentablemente, a ojos de Husserl, Hume se quedó en el umbral del descubrimiento de un nuevo dominio de la experiencia debido a que permaneció todavía preso del naturalismo empirista. De haber vivido Husserl durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX, y haber constatado la incomprensión del sentido de su obra que caracterizó a varios de los propios fenomenólogos post-heideggerianos, no habría quizás dudado en preguntarse si de alguna manera ellos no compartían con los modernos por lo menos un prejuicio del que precisamente querían distanciarse. En efecto, modernos y posmodernos por igual ignoran o distorsionan el sentido de aquella esquiva dimensión espiritual que Husserl caracterizó como "trascendental".

Published: November 2022

La importancia de las actitudes en el aprendizaje de la Matemática-Estadística ha sido reconocida en la literatura a través de diversos trabajosempíricos que las relacionan. No obstante, en las concepciones acerca de las actitudes se la identifica comoparte del dominio afectivo. En este trabajo hacemos una revisión acerca de las concepciones predominantessobre la afectividad y las actitudes en la educación y, presentamos una propuesta que ubica las actitudes dentrode un modelo de aprendizaje de la Matemática-Estadística. Este modelo nos permite brindar una definiciónde las actitudes, que resulta más útil para explicar diversos resultados de la literatura, así como para el trabajoeducativo, al reconocer que esta se organiza en el plano de las representaciones, considerando los dominioscognitivo, afectivo y conativo, y que determina aprendizajes a través de procedimientos productivos, emotivosy volitivos, elaborados a través de información psíquica; y a su vez al reconocer que los aprendizajespueden mediar como información social futura para la estabilidad o no de la actitud.
Participación, cultura local y calidad educativa en áreas rurales del Perú
Authors: Tirado Taipe Carlos Alberto
Published: November 2022

Participación, cultura local y calidad educativa son conceptos extensamente usados en estudios de desarrollo pero con diferentes significados. Entender el uso de estos términos en un contexto específico es esencial para reconocer las relaciones de poder que existen a nivel local e identificar si estas relaciones promueven o dificultan determinadas prácticas de desarrollo. Este artículo se justifica en razón de que existen grandes presiones que promueven la homogenización y adecuación de las culturas indígenas de acuerdo a modelos globales. Asimismo, existen enormes presiones a favor de hacer de la educación un proceso mecánico o una inversión eficiente, lo cual dificulta la valoración de la educación como un derecho humano, la alegre satisfacción por aprender y el fortalecimiento de la libertad. Esta investigación busca clarificar las concepciones de estos tres conceptos y sus efectos en y a través del Proyecto Educativo en Áreas Rurales (Pear). El estudio revela conceptos de participación en el Banco Mundial, el Ministerio de Educación del Perú, y de diversos participantes en el nivel educativo local. Además analiza los efectos prácticos de estos conceptos y su influencia en el desarrollo del proyecto Pear. De igual modo, el estudio evalúa las perspectivas acerca de la inclusión de la cultura quechua en el currículo como parte del Pear, así como un análisis de las dificultades asociadas a la incorporación de la cultura local en el proyecto. Finalmente, la investigación revela descubrimientos acerca de los significados de calidad educativa enunciados por las personas involucradas en el proyecto y analiza las dificultades para proveer calidad educativa en las escuelas de educación rural primaria como parte del Pear . Los resultados obtenidos afirman las tres hipótesis del estudio: la falta de entendimiento de la cultura local quechua dificulta la participación de comunidades dentro del Pear ; la incorporación de la cultura local en el currículo es afectado por el modelo educativo de Occidente; y, la perspectiva de calidad educativa del Banco Mundial como Capital Humano está influenciando la práctica educativa del Pear.

Authors:   University of Southeastern Norway, Horten, Norway, Midje Hilde Hovda , Torp Steffen ,   University of Southeastern Norway, Horten, Norway, Øvergård Kjell Ivar ,   University of Southeastern Norway, Horten, Norway
Published: November 2022

Background: Assuring high-quality, person-centred practice in long-term care organisations requires attention to the wellbeing of the staff who deliver it – a factor sometimes overlooked amid the increasing challenges such organisations confront internationally. Research has shown that job demands and job resources are distinct aspects of the working environment that interact in predicting staff wellbeing and motivation. Work engagement can serve as a means to improve job motivation and performance, and also potentially facilitates activities that operationalise person-centred practice. Aims: To explore the influence of job demands and job resources on work engagement and person-centred processes, and examine whether engagement moderates or mediates the effects of demands and resources on person-centred processes. Method: A cross-sectional survey design with standardised self-report questionnaires was used to collect data on job resources, job demands, work engagement and person-centred processes from 128 registered nurses and nursing assistants in municipal care homes and nursing homes for older adults in Norway. Findings: Both work engagement and person-centred processes were positively associated with job resources. There was no significant negative association between person-centred processes and job demands. Work engagement was neither a significant moderator nor a mediator between job resources and person-centred processes. Conclusions: Enhancing job resources for nursing staff can positively impact their work engagement and support person-centred processes. In contrast to predictions by the dominant Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, work engagement did not moderate nor mediate the influence of job resources on person-centred processes. Implications for practice: Providing job resources such as meaningful tasks, colleague fellowship, development and autonomy is important to enhance nursing staff’s work engagement Improving organisational and psychosocial working conditions could build an organisational culture that is favourable for person-centred processes Building a supportive working environment within long-term care organisations is strategically important to resource-efficient delivery of person-centred care

Published: November 2022

Cilj ovog rada jeste da se čitaocima približi pojam profesionalnog zagovaranja / zastupanja u kontekstu profesije pedagoga i pedagoške delatnosti. Profesionalno zagovaranje predstavlja pokretač socijalne promene i obuhvata niz aktivnosti koje izmđu ostalog mogu imati za cilj unapređivanje statusa profesije. Profesionalna uloga pedagoga je multidimenzionalna i zahteva delovanje na više nivoa. Teorija ekoloških sistema zbog toga predstavlja dobru osnovu za sagledavanje ove centralne uloge pedagoga. U radu su predstavljene aktivnosti profesionalnog zagovaranja u mikrosistemu, mezosistemu, egzosistemu i makrosistemu, sa akcentovanjem različitih domena u kojima je moguće zastupati interese profesije pedagoga, kao i sa akcentovanjem različitih ljudskih i materijalnih resursa koje postoje u svakom sistemskom okruženju. Pored toga, u radu su razmatrane različite klasifikacije kompetencija za zagovaranje u kojima su predstavljena znanja, veštine i osobine ličnosti koje su pedagogu potrebne za uspešno zastupanje određene ideje i postizanje postavljenog cilja. U radu se zaključuje da pedagog treba da razvija opšte i za zagovaranje specifične kompetencije, ali i da kroz samorefleksiju identifikuje svojstva ličnosti i navike koje mogu da mu predstavljaju prepreke u procesu zagovaranja kako bi mogao da ih otkloni i razvije ona svojstva ličnosti koja doprinose uspešnom sprovođenju ove aktivnosti.

Published: November 2022

This research was designed to examine the mediating role of coronavirus anxiety in the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and suicide probability among emerging adults. The study included 301 individuals (69.1% Female, 30.9% Male) aged 18-25. Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale, and Suicide Probability Scale were used in the study. When the results were examined, it was found that those who had difficulty adjusting to the new normal and did not see quarantine as an opportunity were significantly more likely to suicide probabilities. They had higher levels of intolerance of uncertainty and coronavirus anxiety. In addition, coronavirus anxiety appears to play a partial mediating role between intolerance of uncertainty and suicide probability. The research indicated that emerging adults' intolerance of uncertainty and coronavirus anxiety levels affected their suicide probability.

The Covid-19 pandemic has been a trouble and deeply affected the economic conditions of countries. Economy administrators and particularly central banks have been tested seriously in this period. In this period, one of the essential tasks of central banks is to provide the need of liquidity of markets. However, the main objective of Central Banks is price stability. Monetary policies should be applied sensitively by central banks, especially in crisis periods. While liquidity needs of markets taking place, central banks intervene and effort to support declining liquidity. This study examined central banks' monetary policies in the fragile five countries (Turkey, Brasil, India, Indonesia, and South Africa). We investigated these countries' central bank policies, including interest rate, inflation, central bank reserve, exchange rate, and fragile states index in the pandemic period. We determined that the most fragile country among the five countries is Turkey according to the fragile states index, inflation, interest rate, and central bank reserve in the pandemic period.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Mold may affect the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in workplace dormitories. This study aims to investigate indoor air factors that affect molds growth in a dormitory of an LNG Company in Indonesia. Several indoor air determinant factors, including relative humidity, general temperature, wet temperature, dry temperature, air velocity, illumination, particulate matter, and carbon dioxide concentration were assessed against the growth of microorganism colonies. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study using a 2 (two)-stage Andersen sampler based on NIOSH 0800 Bioaerosol Sampling Method for Indoor Air Quality for viable bioaerosol sampling. Bioaerosol samples were collected from 50 indoor, corridor, and outdoor sampling points. The total colony count for bioaerosols (TCC) was then determined (CFU/m3). Ten indoor air quality parameters, i.e., relative humidity, general temperature, wet temperature, dry temperature, air velocity, illumination, particulate matter, and carbon dioxide concentration, were measured. Results: The average mold colony concentration in the dormitory rooms was higher (703.1 CFU/m3) than the maximum standard issued by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia (< 700 CFU/m3) while the relative humidity was very high (84.4% RH on average), with a direct relation between the humidity and the mold colony concentration. A significant correlation was also identified between mold colony concentration, wet temperature, and CO2 concentration. Conclusion: Significant correlations between bioaerosols, relative humidity, wet temperature, and indoor CO2 concentration indicate insufficient ventilation and poor indoor air quality in the dormitory.

Hydrothermal Upgrading of Waste Plastics: An Environmental Impact Study
Authors: Ozoemena Matthew , Coles Stuart
Published: November 2022

This paper presents the life cycle assessment results of a study of plastic recycling via hydrothermal upgrading (HTU), a chemical recycling technology. It was investigated due to its potential to address current gaps in the plastic recycling system, largely due to several plastic packaging materials and formats that cannot be processed by traditional mechanical recycling technologies (primarily due to technoeconomic reasons). As society transitions towards a net-zero-based circular economy, assessments should be conducted with a futuristic outlook, preventing costly mistakes by employing the right technologies in the right areas. HTU can generate up to 76% reduction in climate change impacts when compared with comparable end-of-life treatment technologies whilst conserving material with the system. Additionally, further reductions could be achieved by changes in electricity consumption within the study. This represents a new insight to chemical recycling of polymers by establishing a prospective life cycle assessment study that looks to introduce a step-change in the recycling system. By creating a transparent cut-off model with consistent allocation, it highlights the benefits of introducing this technology as opposed to the current model of disposal through incineration or landfill.
Sagnac Eﬀect with Non-Zero Mass Particles and Light: the Transition from Classical to Relativistic
Authors: Rouaud Mathieu
Published: November 2022

On a rotating disk, two particles bounce at the vertices of a regular polygon in opposite directions. On the return to the entry point, a clock measures the time difference, called Sagnac effect. Due to Coriolis effects, the counterclockwise and clockwise paths are different. The particular case of the slow disk where the two trajectories are very close and almost polygonal is studied. The existence of a transition between a classical and a relativistic regime is proved. An experimental verification is proposed. Although the two Sagnac effects seem analogous, in detail their behavior is quite different.

Published: November 2022

Transgender (TG) describes individuals whose gender identity differs from the social norms. Some TG people undergo gender-affirming hormone therapy (HT) and may be considered as a sub-group of population susceptible to environmental contaminants for their targets and modes of action. Aim of the work is to set appropriate HT doses and identify specific biomarkers to implement TG animal models. Four adult rats/group/sex are subcutaneously exposed to 3 doses of HT (plus control) selected starting from available data. Demasculinizing-feminizing model (dMF): β-estradiol plus cyproterone acetate: 0.09+0.33, 0.09+0.93 and 0.18+0.33 mg, 5 times/week. Defeminizing-masculinizing model (dFM): testosterone 0.45, 0.95 and 2.05 mg, 2 times/week. Clitoral gain and sperm count, histophatological analysis of reproductive organs and liver, hormone serum levels and gene expression of sex-dimorphic CYP450 are evaluated. In dMF model, the selected doses, leading to T serum levels at the range of the corresponding cisgender, induced strong general toxicity and cannot be used in long-term studies. In dFM model, 0.45 mg of testosterone represents the correct dose. In addition, the endpoints selected are considered suitable and reliable to implement the animal model. The sex-specific CYP expression is a suita-ble biomarker to set proper (de)masculinizing/(de)feminizing HT and to implement TG animal models.
3D-QSAR and Relative Binding Affinity Estimation of Focal Adhesion Kinase Inhibitors
Authors: Ghosh Suparna , Cho Seung Joo
Published: November 2022

Precise binding affinity predictions are essential for structure-based drug discovery (SBDD). Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a member of the tyrosine kinase protein family and is overexpressed in a variety of human malignancies. Inhibition of FAK using small molecules is a promising therapeutic option for several types of cancer. Here, we conducted computational modeling of FAK targeting inhibitors using 3-dimensional structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR), molecular dynamics (MD), and hybrid topology-based free energy perturbation (FEP) methods. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies between the physicochemical descriptors and inhibitory activities of the chemical compounds were performed with reasonable statistical accuracy using CoMFA and CoMSIA. These are two well-known 3D-QSAR methods based on the principle of supervised machine learning (ML). Essential information regarding residue-specific binding interactions was determined using the MD and MM-PB/GBSA methods. Finally, physics-based relative binding free energy (〖∆∆G〗_RBFE^(A→B)) values of analogous ligands were estimated using the alchemical FEP simulation. An acceptable agreement was observed between the experimental and computed relative binding free energies. The overall results using ML and physics-based hybrid approaches could be useful for the rational optimization of accessible lead compounds with similar scaffolds targeting the FAK receptor.
Chronic Inflammation and Blood Cancer
Authors: Tzenios Nikolaos , Tazanios Mary , Chahine Mohamad
Published: November 2022

Chronic inflammation may have a detrimental impact on human health as it tends to result in cancer. In addition, it is often linked to different steps that participate in tumorigenesis, including cellular transformation, survival, promotion, invasion, proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Hence, inflammation predisposes cancer development and plays a vital role in promoting all tumorigenesis stages. Inflammation is caused by many factors, such as bacterial and viral infections, tobacco smoking, autoimmune diseases, obesity, asbestos exposure, and many others, increasing cancer risk. Moreover, cancer can be enhanced by mutations that proceed to cancer progression. Consequently, it leads to immunosuppression and provides a favorable background for tumor development. Although many studies address the question of relationships between inflammation and cancer development, little attention is paid to the link between inflammation and blood cancer. Therefore, the current study reviews the role of inflammation in cancer development, particularly in blood cancer. A meta-analysis research approach meets the research objective and answers the research question. The review results indicate that chronic inflammation directly relates to the development of many cancer types, blood cancer in particular.

Published: November 2022

This review provides an understanding of the teaching and practising of forensic accounting across the globe. It includes a review of published forensic accounting studies that conclude that forensic accounting is of benefit to both students and professionals. Despite this, there are areas of concern; namely, the insufficiency of an appropriate structure of regulation and a lack of control over the academic qualifications to enter the profession. This review of both the teaching and practising of forensic accounting provides an overview of the vital issues and concerns that must be understood in order to advance the essential application of forensic accounting. It is expected that this review will influence future policy that will advance business and limit episodes of fraud. The amount of published literature on the subject of forensic accounting is widespread and diverse. However, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the strengths and weaknesses of forensic accounting; this review will address this and provide policymakers with a thorough explanation of the subject.

Nigella sativa's thymoquinone (TQM), a water-insoluble phytonutrient exhibits nephroprotective effects. This study intends to develop a self-micellizing solid dispersion (SMSD) of TQM for better biopharmaceutical and nephroprotective performance. Soluplus®-based SMSD of TQM was created and tested for physicochemical properties, solubility, and pharmacokinetics in rats. Plasma creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), nephrotoxic indicators, and oxidative stress biomarkers were also tested. During SMSD preparation, TQM was found amorphous, boosting solubility. Minimal band changes between TQM and Soluplus® indicate insignificant drug-carrier interactions. SMSD-TQM generated fine micelles in water, improving TQM's solubility by 97.8% in 60 min. SMSD-TQM was 4.9 times more bioavailable orally in rats than crystalline TQM. In a rat model of acute renal damage by cisplatin (6 mg/kg, i.p.), SMSD-TQM (10 mg-TQM/kg, p.o.) reduced blood creatinine and BUN by 56% and 63.2%, respectively. These findings imply that SMSD-TQM may be a potent dosage option for enhancing TQM's nutrient value.

Glaciers in northern Pakistan are a prime source of freshwater, providing headwater in the Indus river system and serving as a lifeline to millions of people in the region. These glaciers undergo continuous changes by melting due to global warming or accumulation due to snowfall/precipitation at higher altitudes. In this study, we used remote sensing data to quantify glacier changes in spatiotemporal variability in the past three decades. Five glaciers in the Gilgit region (near the junction of the Hindukush and Karakoram Mountains) with an extent of less than 5 square kilometers were selected, namely Phakor glacier, Karamber glacier, East Gammu glacier, Bhort glacier, and Bad-e-Swat glacier. The fluctuations in these glaciers were monitored using a digital elevation model (DEM) and a cloud-free continuous series of Landsat satellite pictures from the minimal snow cover season. The annual climatic trends were studied through spatially interpolated gridded climate data WοrldClim version-1 climate database for 1970 – 2000. We used it to study the variations of minimum and maximum temperature, solar radiation, and precipitation through the preparation of sub-sets from the original global grids. Because of its exact delineation in the Gilgit sub-basin, the characterized watersheds were visually compared to optical Landsat 8 OLI data for mountainous ridge matching, revealing that SRTM 30m (radar-based) demonstrated greater accuracy than other DEMs. The temporal assessment of Bhort, Bad-e-Sawat, East Gammu, Karamber, and other rivers was also carried out. It is observed that the glaciers in the Gilgit watershed are rather stable. The little variability of glaciers is due to their geographic condition, altitude, topography, and orientation. Validation of the mapped glacier classes has been performed to check the accuracy assessment through an error matrix method. The kappa coefficient from the error matrix has been calculated to be 84 %. The study makes a critical input to a greater understanding of watershed controlling and hydrological processes in the upper Indus catchment's Gilgit watershed.

Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease and affects more than 350 million people worldwide. However, there are no vaccines for humans, and current treatment is hampered due to its high cost, numerous side effects, and painful administration routes. Ending its epidemics by 2030 has become a United Nations goal, and the multitarget drug strategy emerges as a promising alternative. Flavonoids are an example of multitarget compounds and organic synthesis represents a tool to obtain high yields of these molecules. In our study, we synthesized 17 flavonoid analogs using a scalable, easy-to-reproduce, and inexpensive method. All compounds demonstrated an impressive inhibition capacity against rCPB2.8, rCPB3, and rH84Y, which are highly expressed in the amastigote stage, the target form of the parasite. Compounds 3c, f12a, and f12b stood out as effective against all isoforms and intermolecular interactions were investigated through a molecular modeling study. The compounds were highly potent against the parasite and demonstrated low cytotoxic action against mammalian cells. The results were pioneering, representing an advance in the investigation of the mechanisms behind the antileishmanial action of flavonoid derivatives. Furthermore, compounds have shown to be promising leads for the design of other cysteine protease inhibitors for the treatment of leishmaniasis diseases.

The solid particle erosion at room and elevated temperatures of pure and filled hot-curing epoxy resin on anhydride hardener was experimentally tested using accelerated method on special bench. Micro-sized dispersed industrial wastes were used as fillers: fly-ash from a power plant and spent filling material from a copper mining and processing plant. The results showed that the unfilled resin wear significantly decreases with increasing temperature, while the dependence on the temperature of the wear intensity at an impingement angle of 45o is linear inversely proportional, and at an angle of 90o non-linear. The decrease in wear intensity is probably due to an increase in elasticity (an increase in the fracture strain limit) because of heating. Solid particle erosion of the examined filled epoxy compounds is considerably higher than that of unfilled compounds at impingement angles of 90o and 45o. Filled compounds showed ambiguous dependences of intensity of wear from temperature (especially at an angle of attack 45o), probably, character of dependence is defined by a filler share and the structural features of the samples caused by distribution of particles of the filler. Intensity of wear of the considered compounds at impingement angles 90o and 45o has high direct correlation with density and the modulus of elasticity (i.e., increases with their increase), and low correlation with bending strength of the considered materials. The data set for determining the correlation between mechanical properties and wear included characteristics due to both compound filling and test temperature.

The molecular mechanisms underlying heat stress tolerance in animals to high temperatures remain unclear. This experiment was performed with Sprague-Dawley rats housed at 22 ℃ (control group; CT), and 42 ℃ for 30 min (H30), 60 min (H60), and 120 min (H120). Transcriptomic analysis using RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) from blood (CT and H120), liver (CT, H30, H60, and H120), and adrenal glands (CT, H30, H60, and H120) was performed. The differentially expressed mRNA isoforms (DEIs) were identified and annotated by the CLC Genomics Workbench. Biological process and metabolic pathway analyses were performed using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database. A total of 225, 5,764, and 4,988 DEIs in the blood, liver, and adrenal glands were observed. Furthermore, the number of novel differentially expressed transcript lengths with annotated genes and the novel differentially expressed transcript with non-annotated genes were 136 and 8 in blood, 3,549 and 120 in the liver, as well as 3,078 and 220 in adrenal glands, respectively. A total of 35 genes were involved in the heat stress response, out of which Dnaja1, LOC680121, Chordc1, AABR07011951.1, Hsp90aa1, Hspa1b, Cdkn1a, Hmox1, Bag3 and Dnaja4 were commonly identified in the liver and adrenal glands, suggesting that these genes may regulate heat stress response through interactions between liver and adrenal glands. The results suggest that the identified mRNA isoforms could be considered as potential candidates for selecting mammals to improve thermotolerance.
