Araştırmada amaç; 3 farklı fenolojik dönemde (ben düşme, ben düşme-hasat ve hasat) uygulanan 3 abiyotik stresin (darbe, yaprak yaralama, UV-C) salkım özelliklerine etkisini belirlemektir. Beş gün süre ile asmalar 3 abiyotik strese tabi tutulmuştur; darbe (plastik çekiç ile 08:00’da birkez ve 19:00’da 1 kez 1 dk), yaprak yaralama (bir kez yaprakların esnek çubuk ile yaralanması) ve UV-C (08:00’de ve 19:00’de 1 kez 1 dk) ve Kontrol. Uyulamaların ardından hasatlar 24.09.2017 ve 27.09.2019 tarihlerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Salkımın özelliklerini ortaya koymak için; salkımdaki tane sayısı (adet), salkım eni-boyu (cm), salkım ağırlığı (g), boşluklu-boşluksuz salkım hacmi (cm3), salkım sıklığı değeri 0.7’den küçük değerlerde çok sık, 0.7-0.9 değerleri arasında sık, 0.9-1.1 değerleri arası orta, 1.1-1.3 değerleri arası seyrek, 1.3 değerinden fazla olduğunda çok seyrek olarak sınıflanmıştır. Salkım ağırlığı en çok ben düşme döneminde (139.52 g) yapılan uygulamalarla düşmüştür. Diğer incelenen kriterler açısından da ben düşme döneminde yapılan stres uygulamalarıyla düşük değerler alınmıştır. Sonuç olarak gerçekleştirilen abiyotik stres uygulamalarının salkım özellikleri üzerinde belirgin bir fark yaratmadığı söylenebilir.

The importance of understanding adolescent to make a productive citizen who can contribute for his/her family, society, overall the country, has been recognized by psychologists. The present study focused on social undermining and aggression of adolescents according to the types of adolescents and levels of education. Among the 144 adolescents (student respondents) included in this study 72 were orphans and 72 were non-orphan adolescents (each group constituted 36 secondary students and 36 college students). Bangla version of the Social Undermining Scale (Ilyas and Hossain 2007) and Bangla version of the Measure of Aggressive Behavior (MAB) scale (Rahman 2003) were used to measure social undermining and aggressive behavior of adolescents, respectively. The social undermining score clearly indicated that orphan adolescents were significantly of more social undermining (t = 5.32, df = 142, p < .05) over non-orphan adolescents. However, there was no significant difference between secondary and college adolescents. On the other hand, orphan adolescents had significantly more aggression (t = 4.17, df = 142, p < .05) over non-orphan adolescents and secondary adolescent students had significantly more aggression (t = 3.47, df = 142, p < .05) than college adolescent students. Furthermore, the social undermining was positively correlated with aggression (r = .19, p < .05).

Authors: Natha Sarfaraz , Fareed Ahmed Jokhio  , Muhammad Shafique  , Ahmed Naeem , Arain Danish Munir
Published: July 2024

In recent years, Closed-circuit Television (CCTV) cameras have been playing a vital role in the surveillance of both public and private areas. The primary objective of surveillance is to monitor human behavior and road conditions. In the real-world situation, detecting, and recognizing abnormal activities poses significant challenges due to the densely crowded environment and the complex nature of transportation systems. These factors make it difficult to automatically identify various anomalies that occur while traveling, leading to emergencies, and endangering human life and property. In response to these challenges, contemporary Road Outlier Recognition Surveillance Systems (RORSS) have been deployed to monitor and mitigate abnormalities on streets, highways, and roads. This research specifically investigated conventional as well as human-centered road anomalies encompassing snatching, accidents, fighting, and car fires. The proposed Real-time Road Outlier Recognition methodology is formulated as a classification task, involving the analysis and processing of real-time CCTV videos. The proposed study investigated different types of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) pre-trained models with the Data Augmentation (DA) approach to address the frame variance problem in real-time videos. Furthermore, we introduced a benchmark real-world Road Outlier Dataset (ROD) containing roads, streets, and highways videos and images that presented different road anomalies performed by vehicles and humans. Experimentation using different pre-trained CNN models i.e., VGG19, InceptionV3, ResNet50, and DenseNet201 with a data augmentation approach has been performed on the ROD dataset. The experimental results demonstrated that the InceptionV3 model performed best with the augmentation approach as compared to other deep learning models that achieved the best accuracy of 98.80% in recognizing road anomalies

Examining the Influence of Locus of Control and Perceived Behavior Control on Fraud Prevention with Whistleblowing as an Intermediate Variable: A Case Study of PT. Lintang Kejora Semarang
Authors: Andika Arditya Dian , Martadi Nana Storada Dwi , Paramita Patricia Dhiana , Ratnawati Juli
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the intricate relationship between locus of control, perceived behavior control, and fraud prevention, with whistleblowing as a mediating construct. The research adopted a comprehensive sampling strategy known as a census approach, which encompassed the entirety of the employee population at PT. Lintang Kejora, comprising a total of 100 individuals, thereby ensuring their inclusion as research respondents. The data analysis methodologies employed in this study comprised two-stage least-squares regression and path analysis. The results of the data analysis indicate that locus of control and perceived behavior control exert a partially positive and statistically significant influence on whistleblowing. However, locus of control and perceived behavior control do not appear to have a significant impact on fraud prevention. Additionally, whistleblowing exhibits a positive and statistically significant influence on fraud prevention. Nevertheless, whistleblowing does not mediate the impact of locus of control and perceived behavior control on fraud prevention to a significant extent. These findings shed light on the multifaceted interplay between individual psychological attributes, whistleblowing, and fraud prevention within organizations. Addressing these implications can aid in the development of more effective strategies for preventing and managing fraud in organizational settings. Keywords:locus of control, perceived behavior control, personal cost, whistleblowing, fraud prevention

Migration and Culture
Authors: Berggren Erik
Published: July 2024

This report is written by students in the Ethnic and Migration Studies Master’s Programme, part of the Research Institute in Migration, Ethnicity, and Society (REMESO) at Linköping University, based on the Norrköping campus. REMESO is an internationally renowned institute that pursues research in migration and ethnic relations. The Master’s Programme is highly sought after, with students coming from all over the world to attend. Their interest in how migration transforms the world and how it influences other social phenomena has fuelled their work in this publication. In their first year of studies, students take the course Critical Cases in Ethnic and Migration Studies, led by Erik Berggren as course coordinator and Kenna Sim-Sarka. The course is designed for students to apply the theoretical knowledge and experiences gained throughout the first year’s courses to produce articles beyond an academic audience for the broader public. Each REMS report is based around a specific theme, with previous themes including migration and Covid-19, migration and Ukraine, and migration and democracy. The REMS report is one of the many ways in which we, as students, are trained to identify and analyse issues related to migration, integration, and diversity and to make research accessible to a wider audience. This year’s overarching theme is Migration and Culture, sparked by recent developments in Sweden’s and Norrköping’s politics of decreasing and cutting funds for cultural activities. Arts and culture are both areas of expression for migrant communities and people on the move, as well as those fighting against racism, discrimination, and exclusion. The current debate on “Swedish culture” and on a “Swedish cultural canon” recalls monolithic understandings of culture as a natural and immutable construct, contributing to the polarisation of views rather than the multiplication of perspectives and conceptions of it. Like culture, which can be visualised as a tapestry created from different threads, different contributions, woven together to form something complex, this report is also a collection of varied articles, united by a common theme. Some articles in this report look at the accessibility of culture in Sweden and its transmission through all kinds of mediums, such as TV programmes; others engage artists or “social artists” who care about issues like migration and the fight against racism and discrimination, and some focus on specific aspects of culture and arts, such as language, food, and music.

Published: July 2024

Karst is a rocky area that is known and categorized as an area with the title of natural beauty because of its unique shape, but it is rarely known to the wider community that karst areas hold a lot of potential and historical values, for example, the karst area in Maros- Pangkep that needs to be preserved. Preservation is considered difficult to realize because there are many mining permits for karst areas that exist for the manufacture of raw materials for cement and marble. Seeing the large number of people at large who do not understand what karst is and what its potentials are in it, the authors designed a social campaign for the preservation of karst areas using promotional media that can educate the public. This social campaign invites the general public to take part in safeguarding the karst area and use it more wisely. In designing this social campaign, theories such as layout theory, color theory, typography theory, and environmental theory are used. Main focus of the social campaign of this karst area is for the environmental preservation and human survival in the future.

Published: July 2024

Dalam peraturan perundang-undangan pidana yang berlaku di Indonesia, tidak ada ketentuan yang secara tegas mengatur tentang penerapan Restorative Justice dalam sistem peradilan pidana kecuali, dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 tentang Sistem Peradilan Anak. Namun dalam praktik penerapan aturan teknis Restorative Justice saat ini, telah dibuat, disahkan dan di sosialisasikan dalam bentuk Peraturan Kebijakan yang dikeluarkan oleh MA, Kejaksaan dan Kepolisian guna mempertegas peran para aparat penegak hukum. Keadilan restoratif (restorative Justice) merupakan alternatif penyelesaian perkara tindak pidana yang dalam mekanisme tata cara peradilan pidana berfokus pada pemidanaan yang diubah menjadi proses dialog dan mediasi yang melibatkan pelaku, korban, keluarga pelaku/korban, dan pihak lain yang terkait untuk bersama-sama menciptakan kesepakatan atas penyelesaian perkara pidana yang adil dan seimbang bagi pihak korban maupun pelaku dengan mengedepankan pemulihan kembali pada keadaan semula, dan mengembalikan pola hubungan baik dalam masyarakat. Hukum yang adil di dalam keadilan restoratif (restorative justice) tentunya tidak berat sebelah, tidak memihak, tidak sewenang-wenang, dan hanya berpihak pada kebenaran sesuai aturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku serta mempertimbangkan kesetaraan hak kompensasi dan keseimbangan dalam setiap aspek kehidupan. Penelitian ini menggunakan tipe penelitian normatif, yaitu penelitian yang tinjauannya memfokuskan diri pada ketentuan hukum positif untuk menjawab kedua rumusan masalah yang telah ditetapkan.  Penelitian hukum normatif dapat didefinisikan juga sebagai penelitian hukum yang dilakukan dengan cara meneliti bahan pustaka belaka. Objek kajian penelitian hukum normatif adalah pada hukum yang dikonsepkan sebagai norma atau kaidah. Norma yang menjadi objek kajiannya, meliputi Undang-Undang, Peraturan Pemerintah, dan lain-lain.

Spatiotemporal proteolytic susceptibility of allergens: positive or negative effects on the allergic sensitization?
Authors: Jacquet Alain , Soh Wai Tuck
Published: July 2024

From their expression in their respective allergenic source to their processing by antigen presenting cells, allergens continuously encounter proteases. The ability of allergens to resist to proteolysis by digestive enzymes or host-cell/microbial proteases is considered as an important property that influences their allergenic potential. However, the relationship between proteolytic stability and allergenicity is much more complex and depends on various factors, such as the protein structure dynamics, the exposure level, the route of sensitization, and their respective protease susceptibility. In this review, we summarize and discuss the current knowledge on several aspects of allergen proteolytic stability in different environments including the allergenic sources, routes of sensitization (skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract) and endolysosomal compartment of antigen-presenting cells. Proteolytic stability alone cannot represent a definitive criterion to allergenicity. The proteolytic susceptibility of allergens in processed extracts can affect allergy diagnosis and immunotherapy. Furthermore, the fine tuning of allergen stability during antigen processing can be exploited for the development of novel immunotherapeutic strategies.

Hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPUs) are still an important worldwide issue related to the safety and quality of patient care, which are among the top five adverse events reported. Patients who develop HAPUs have longer stays in the hospital than necessary, are at a greater risk of infections, and are more likely to die. Surgical patients are prone to developing PUs because they often remain immobile for extended periods of time, and their surgical procedures may limit the flow of blood oxygen and nutrition and lead to a decrease in muscle tone. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent an attractive stem cell source for tissue regeneration in clinical applications, which have been demonstrated to improve wound healing through re-epithelialization, increased angiogenesis, and granulation tissue formation. Here, we present the case of an emergency surgical patient who developed an ulcer on the right heel during hospitalization. The human umbilical cord Wharton’s jelly-derived MSCs (WJ-MSCs) re-suspended in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) were injected into ulcer margins. Four days after the WJ-MSC application, the patient showed progressive healing of the PU. From days 4 to 33, granulation tissue formation and re-epithelialization were clearly observed. The ulcer was almost healed completely on day 47, and the pain in the patient’s wound area also decreased. Thus, intradermal transplantation of WJ-MSCs and PRP was safe and effective for treatment in patients with pressure ulcers. WJ-MSCs, together with PRP, may offer a promising treatment option for wound healing.
Ferroptosis: a novel strategy to overcome chemoresistance in gynecological malignancies
Authors: Xu Jing , Zheng Bohao , Wang Wei , Zhou Shengtao
Published: July 2024

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of cell death, distinct from apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy, and is characterized by altered iron homeostasis, reduced defense against oxidative stress, and increased lipid peroxidation. Extensive research has demonstrated that ferroptosis plays a crucial role in the treatment of gynecological malignancies, offering new strategies for cancer prevention and therapy. However, chemotherapy resistance poses an urgent challenge, significantly hindering therapeutic efficacy. Increasing evidence suggests that inducing ferroptosis can reverse tumor resistance to chemotherapy. This article reviews the mechanisms of ferroptosis and discusses its potential in reversing chemotherapy resistance in gynecological cancers. We summarized three critical pathways in regulating ferroptosis: the regulation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), iron metabolism, and lipid peroxidation pathways, considering their prospects and challenges as strategies to reverse chemotherapy resistance. These studies provide a fresh perspective for future cancer treatment modalities.
Combination of HDAC and FYN inhibitors in synovial sarcoma treatment

Published: July 2024

The SS18-SSX fusion protein is an oncogenic driver in synovial sarcoma. At the molecular level, SS18-SSX functions as both an activator and a repressor to coordinate transcription of different genes responsible for tumorigenesis. Here, we identify the proto-oncogene FYN as a new SS18-SSX target gene and examine its relation to synovial sarcoma therapy. FYN is a tyrosine kinase that promotes cancer growth, metastasis and therapeutic resistance, but SS18-SSX appears to negatively regulate FYN expression in synovial sarcoma cells. Using both genetic and histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi)-based pharmacologic approaches, we show that suppression of SS18-SSX leads to FYN reactivation. In support of this notion, we find that blockade of FYN activity synergistically enhances HDACi action to reduce synovial sarcoma cell proliferation and migration. Our results support a role for FYN in attenuation of anti-cancer activity upon inhibition of SS18-SSX function and demonstrate the feasibility of targeting FYN to improve the effectiveness of HDACi treatment against synovial sarcoma.

Background

Human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) show tremendous promise for cardiac regeneration following myocardial infarction (MI), but their transplantation gives rise to transient ventricular tachycardia (VT) in large-animal MI models, representing a major hurdle to translation. Our group previously reported that these arrhythmias arise from a focal mechanism whereby graft tissue functions as an ectopic pacemaker; therefore, we hypothesized that hPSC-CMs engineered with a dominant negative form of the pacemaker ion channel HCN4 (dnHCN4) would exhibit reduced automaticity and arrhythmogenic risk following transplantation.

Methods

We used CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene-editing to create transgenic dnHCN4 hPSC-CMs, and their electrophysiological behavior was evaluated in vitro by patch-clamp recordings and optical mapping. Next, we transplanted WT and homozygous dnHCN4 hPSC-CMs in a pig MI model and compared post-transplantation outcomes including the incidence of spontaneous arrhythmias and graft structure by immunohistochemistry.

Results

In vitro dnHCN4 hPSC-CMs exhibited significantly reduced automaticity and pacemaker funny current (If) density relative to wildtype (WT) cardiomyocytes. Following transplantation with either dnHCN4 or WT hPSC-CMs, all recipient hearts showed transmural infarct scar that was partially remuscularized by scattered islands of human myocardium. However, in contrast to our hypothesis, both dnHCN4 and WT hPSC-CM recipients exhibited frequent episodes of ventricular tachycardia (VT).

Conclusions

While genetic silencing of the pacemaker ion channel HCN4 suppresses the automaticity of hPSC-CMs in vitro, this intervention is insufficient to reduce VT risk post-transplantation in the pig MI model, implying more complex mechanism(s) are operational in vivo.
Numerical simulation of residual oil distribution characteristic of carbonate reservoir after water flooding

Published: July 2024

Carbonate reservoirs are characterized by abundant reserves and are currently focal points for development in oil and gas producing regions such as the Ahdab oilfield, Tarim Basin, Sichuan Basin, and Ordos Basin. The primary method for exploiting carbonate reservoirs is waterflooding. However, due to the complex pore structure and pronounced heterogeneity of carbonate rocks, the waterflooding process often leads to an unclear distribution of remaining oil and low waterflooding recovery efficiency, significantly impacting the stable and high production of carbonate reservoirs. This paper presents a two-phase flow model of oil and water in distinct pore structures by integrating fluid flow equations and interface tracking equations. It visually represents the waterflooding process at the pore scale, elucidates the distribution and formation mechanism of remaining oil, and discusses the mechanism of microscopic displacement efficiency change. The study reveals that: 1) After waterflooding, the distribution patterns of remaining oil can be categorized into dead-end remaining oil, pressure balance remaining oil, wall-bound remaining oil, Jamin effect remaining oil, and water-encapsulating remaining oil, which are governed by microscopic pore structure, wettability, and preferential flow paths; 2) From the perspective of actual reservoir displacement efficiency, intergranular pores > intergranular dissolved pores > visceral foramen > mould pore, with this trend being more pronounced under hydrophilic wetting conditions; 3) Given the oil-wet to strong oil-wet wettability characteristics of these carbonate rocks, capillary forces pose significant resistance during waterflooding. The conclusion underscores the importance of leveraging the reservoir’s microscopic pore structure and wettability characteristics for actual oil wells, elucidating the evolutionary law of the mechanical mechanism of oil-water interface advancement, clarifying oil-water percolation characteristics at the pore scale, and understanding the microscopic displacement physical mechanism, all of which are crucial for guiding the design of schemes aimed at enhancing reservoir recovery efficiency.
