From Ashes to Life - The Indestructible D. radiodurans
Authors: João DT Arruda-Neto , Henriette Righi , Amanda M Lacerda
Published: July 2024

Deinococcus radiodurans (D. radiodurans) was accidentally discovered in 1956 when cans of ground meat were exposed to massive doses of ionizing gamma radiation, intended to kill dangerous bacteria. The bacterium can survive doses of radiation, even up to 1,000 times that which is deadly to humans. Among biologists and biophysicists, D. radiodurans is often humorously called “Conan the Bacterium.” This extreme radioresistance of the bacterium has been attributed to its ability to protect the proteome from ROS, which originates from water radiolysis, and also to carry out the effective repair of a large amount of DNA damage.
La Alameda en ojos decimonónicos: evolución y representación de un espacio de sociabilidad (1807-1905)
Authors: Quilodrán Rubio Carolina , Romero Pavéz Diego
Published: July 2024

El artículo estudia la forma en la que fue percibida la transformación de la Alameda de las Delicias en el siglo XIX por sus contemporáneos, pasando de ser un espacio periférico y el límite de la urbanidad a un eje articulador de la ciudad de Santiago de Chile. A través de relatos de viajeros, memorias políticas, autobiografías y periódicos se analizará la forma en la que la socialité representó la transformación de la Alameda a lo largo del periodo, demostrando que, si bien se pretendió otorgarle un uso oficial que evidenciara el progreso y civilidad de la naciente república, los distintos cambios e identidades socioculturales le imprimieron usos y costumbres que redefinieron, con una dinámica local, este paseo “a la usanza europea”.
Itinerario documental sobre el tocuirico: discursos, saberes y representaciones en el virreinato del Perú, siglo XVI
Authors: Ferreira Rubio Ignacio
Published: July 2024

El artículo analiza la construcción de discursos, saberes y representaciones sobre el funcionario incaico conocido como “tocuirico” en el virreinato del Perú durante el siglo XVI. Producto de una constante inestabilidad sociopolítica, tanto letrados como autoridades virreinales comenzaron a visualizar en el pasado incaico una posible solución para instaurar el buen gobierno que, hasta entonces, había sido esquivo. El llamado “tocuirico”, identificado como “el que todo lo ve”, destacó en la documentación temprano-colonial por su efectividad y utilidad para asegurar el orden social y administrativo bajo el orden del inca. Dicha situación condujo a que los letrados del siglo XVI declararan su admiración por dicho funcionario, a pesar de ser parte de un cuerpo administrativo definido en múltiples ocasiones como tiránico. Metodológicamente, el trabajo se inserta en los estudios del siglo XVI peruano, a través del análisis y comparación diacrónica de fuentes primarias publicadas e inéditas.

Authors: Romero-Sandí Hairol , Núñez Gabriel , Rojas Elvis
Published: July 2024

The accelerated development of applications related to artificial intelligence has generated the creation of increasingly complex neural network models with enormous amounts of parameters, currently reaching up to trillions of parameters. Therefore, it makes your training almost impossible without the parallelization of training. Parallelism applied with different approaches is the mechanism that has been used to solve the problem of training on a large scale. This paper presents a glimpse of the state of the art related to parallelism in deep learning training from multiple points of view.  The topics of pipeline parallelism, hybrid parallelism, mixture-of-experts and auto-parallelism are addressed in this study, which currently play a leading role in scientific research related to this area. Finally, we develop a series of experiments with data parallelism and model parallelism. The objective is that the reader can observe the performance of two types of parallelism and understand more clearly the approach of each one.

Published: July 2024

The current popularity in the application of artificial intelligence to solve complex problems is growing. The appearance of chats based on artificial intelligence or natural language processing has generated the creation of increasingly large and sophisticated neural network models, which are the basis of current developments in artificial intelligence. These neural networks can be composed of billions of parameters and their training is not feasible without the application of approaches based on parallelism. This paper focuses on studying pipeline parallelism, which is one of the most important types of parallelism used to train neural network models in deep learning. In this study we offer a look at the most important concepts related to the topic and we present a detailed analysis of 3 pipeline parallelism libraries: Torchgpipe, FairScale, and DeepSpeed. We analyze important aspects of these libraries such as their implementation and features. In addition, we evaluated them experimentally, carrying out parallel trainings and taking into account aspects such as the number of stages in the training pipeline and the type of balance.

Published: July 2024

Various types of smartphones come with different prices and specifications, causing sellers to sometimes struggle with providing recommendations to consumers who want to buy a smartphone that meets their desired specifications and price range. This challenge arises because it is difficult for sellers to remember the specifications of each smartphone for sale. K-Means Clustering aims to group existing specification data into several clusters, where the data in each cluster share similar characteristics. By forming these smartphone groups, it becomes easier for sellers to recommend appropriate smartphones to customers. The research results show that various smartphone brands are categorized into three groups: the Recommended Group, which includes 225 items; the Most Recommended Group, which includes 98 items; and the Less Recommended Group, which includes 27 items. This clustering is expected to help sellers easily increase the stock of recommended smartphones according to consumer needs in terms of price and specifications.

Adolescents are often the most vulnerable to risky behaviors due to their quest for independence, experimentation, and identity development, resulting in deep-rooted patterns that affect health across the life course. This review examines the prevalence and determinants of substance use and sexual risk behaviors among adolescents in the United States. A systematic search of peer-reviewed literature published between 1980-2023 was conducted using multiple databases. Studies focusing on U.S. adolescents aged 12-19 and reporting on prevalence or associated factors of substance use (alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, or any illicit drugs) or sexual risk behaviors (early sexual initiation, multiple partners, or inconsistent condom use) were included. The review synthesized data from 40 studies meeting inclusion criteria. Results indicate concerning rates of substance use and sexual risk-taking, with variations by demographic factors. Alcohol and marijuana use were most prevalent, reported by 30-40% of adolescents. Nearly half of high school students reported having sexual intercourse, with 40% not using condoms consistently. Prevalence was generally higher among older adolescents, sexual minorities, and some racial minority groups. Key determinants of risk behaviors were reviewed based on socioecological models including individual, interpersonal, community and societal factors. The review highlights the multilevel nature of influences on adolescent risk behaviors. Findings underscore the need for tailored interventions addressing multiple determinants. Particular attention to vulnerable groups such as African American Adolescents and social determinants of health inequities is warranted. More research on risk and protective factors and effective interventions is needed. This synthesis can inform the development of evidence-based policies and programs to reduce substance use and sexual risk behaviors among U.S. adolescents.

Objective Patients with late life depression sometimes refuse to receive electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) owing to its adverse reactions. To alleviate patient’s resistance, a novel ECT stimulation strategy named mixed-strategy ECT (msECT) was designed in which patients are administered conventional ECT during the first three sessions, followed by low energy stimulation during the subsequent sessions. However, whether low energy electrical stimulation in the subsequent stage of therapy affect its efficacy and reduce adverse reactions in patients with late life depression remains unknown. To explore differences between msECT and regular ECT(RECT) with respect to clinical efficacy and side effectsMethods This randomized, controlled trial was conducted from 2019 to 2021 on 60 patients with late life depression who were randomly assigned to two groups: RECT or msECT. A generalized estimating equation (GEE) was used to compare the two stimulation strategies regarding their efficacy and side effects on cognition. Chi-squared test was used to compare side effects in the two strategies.Results In the intent-to-treat group, the GEE model suggested no differences between-group difference in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 score over time (Wald χ2=7.275, p=0.064), whereas the comparison of side effects in the two strategies favored msECT (Wald χ2=8.463, p=0.015) as fewer patients had adverse events during the second phase of treatment with msECT (χ2 =13.467, p=0.004).Conclusion msECT presents its similar efficacy to RECT. msECT may have milder side effects on cognition.

Objective Vulnerability to internet gaming disorder (IGD) has increased as internet gaming continues to grow. Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) is a hormone that plays a role in reward, anxiety, and stress. The purpose of this study was to identify the role of CART in the pathophysiology of IGD.Methods The serum CART levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the associations of the serum CART level with psychological variables were analyzed in patients with IGD (n=31) and healthy controls (HC) (n=42).Results The serum CART level was significantly lower in the IGD than HC group. The IGD group scored significantly higher than the HC group on the psychological domains of depression, anxiety, the reward response in the Behavioral Activation System and Behavioral Inhibition System. There were no significant correlations between serum CART level and other psychological variables in the IGD group.Conclusion Our results indicate that a decrease in the expression of the serum CART level is associated with the vulnerability of developing IGD. This study supports the possibility that CART is a biomarker in the pathophysiology of IGD.

Objective Positive airway pressure (PAP) compliance is important in treating obstructive sleep apnea. Previous studies have suggested that patients with economic burdens, discomfort using machines, and insufficient education have difficulty tolerating PAP machines. This study explored the factors affecting short-term adherence to PAP in a veterans medical center.Methods The medical records of patients who underwent polysomnography at the Veterans Health Service Medical Center, Seoul, Republic of Korea, between July 2018 and January 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15 were included (n=579). PAP adherence was defined as continuous use for ≥21 days for ≥4 hours daily for 30 consecutive days for 90 days from the date of PAP prescription.Results The PAP-adherent group (n=265, age 66.16±11.28 years) was younger and had more years of education, higher body mass indices, and lower scores in the Insomnia Severity Index and Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) than those of the PAP-nonadherent group (n=314, age 68.93±10.91 years). Patients who tolerated PAP had a higher AHI, longer duration of oxygen desaturation (less than 90%), and less dream enactment behavior (DEB) than that in those who did not. After adjusting for age, years of education, BDI-II, duration of oxygen desaturation, and presence of DEB, there were more patients with National Health Insurance (NHI) in the PAP-adherent group than in the PAP-nonadherent group (p<0.001).Conclusion We showed that patients with NHI recorded significantly higher adherence compared to that in patients without NHI, among other factors.

Objective In South Korea, there were 12,906 suicides in 2022. This number is 4.7 times higher than the number of traffic accident deaths—i.e., 2,753—in the same year. Suicide is so serious that it is the fifth leading cause of death in South Korea. We would like to discuss how the National Assembly Suicide Prevention Forum was established, what role it has played in preventing suicide, and what role it should play in the future.Methods We will look into the representatives and lawmakers who made up the National Assembly Suicide Prevention and summarize the topics of seminars conducted in each period.Results Through the establishment of the National Assembly Suicide Prevention Forum in 2018, which is referred to hereafter as the “Forum,” various efforts have been made to garner the attention of government ministries, which has led to an increase of 6.7 times in the budget for suicide prevention compared to 2017. With the launch of the forum, private organizations that had previously been working independently in their own fields were able to come together and speak with a unified voice. The formation of the Forum has brought the issue of suicide, which had previously been buried in the dark corners of our society, to the forefront as a social problem, and it has provided an impetus for seeking solutions.Conclusion In the 22nd National Assembly of South Korea, the National Assembly Suicide Prevention Forum is expected to play a more prominent role, which is expected to lead to substantial achievements in suicide prevention.

Published: July 2024

This study employed the MIKE 21HD modeling framework, integrating data from the future climate database, "Policy Decision Making for Future Climate Change (d4PDF)" on selected critical ensembles to investigate the impact of climate change on storm surge height (SSH) along the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia during the Northeast Monsoon season. Three scenarios, including past-historical data, future climate with a 2°C increment (+2K), and future climate with a 4°C increment (+4K), were analyzed. The study had validated model accuracy through root mean square error (RMSE), demonstrating alignment with observed data. Results indicated a correlation between temperature increase and storm surge height (SSH), with higher temperature scenarios leading to more severe surge outcomes. The analysis identified the Future +4K scenarios as yielding the most critical SSH across all stations, with recorded SSH at Kuala Pahang (SSHmax = 1.379 m), Chendering (SSHmax = 1.344 m), Geting (SSHmax = 1.251 m), and Tanjung Sedili (SSHmax = 1.251 m) stations. Considering the findings, it was recommended to reassess the baseline provision for coastal engineering projects, suggesting a storm surge resilience design exceeding the observed maximum. The utilization of d4PDF data in this study laid the groundwork for targeted strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate-induced storm surges in vulnerable coastal regions.

Testing the association of affective flexibility with autistic traits and emotion regulation using an adapted Flexible Item Selection Task

Affective flexibility refers to the ability to shift cognitive processes, strategies or mental sets in response to situational demands within an emotional context. It plays a crucial role in effective emotion regulation (ER), an aspect that individuals with autism or high autistic traits often struggle with. While previous self-reported studies have indicated reduced flexibility in autistic individuals, the relationship between affective flexibility and ER difficulties remains unclear. This study used an experimental approach to examine whether affective flexibility is associated with individual differences in autistic traits and ER difficulties. Affective flexibility was measured in 60 neurotypical adults using an adapted version of the affective Flexible Item Selection Task (affective FIST) with emotion-laden images as stimuli. Participants exhibited degraded performance during negative flexibility trials compared to neutral flexibility trials. Importantly, regression analyses revealed that poorer behavioral performance in both negative and neutral flexibility conditions predicted greater difficulties in switching as an autistic trait, as well as greater difficulties in ER. Our findings advance the understanding of the role of affective flexibility in ER within the context of autism research and demonstrate that the adapted affective FIST holds promise as an objective measure of affective flexibility in autistic individuals.
