Published: July 2024

Butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea L.) is a medicinal plant known for its anthocyanin pigment content, which imparts a blue color to its flowers. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of shading on butterfly pea flower growth and production. The research design utilized a randomized complete block design (RCBD) for shading treatments. We replicated each treatment level four times, resulting in 20 experimental units, each containing four plants, for a total population of 80 plants. We conducted the experiment at the Experimental Garden of Gunadarma University Campus F7, implementing shade nets at different intensity levels (55%, 65%, 75%, and 85%), along with a control treatment without shading. We made observations on various plant growth parameters such as leaf count, plant length, days to first flower appearance, flower count, fresh weight, and dry weight. The results indicated that shading significantly influenced butterfly pea plants' growth. Plants without shading tended to exhibit better growth in several parameters, such as increased leaf count, higher plant length, and earlier days to first flower appearance. These findings underscore the importance of sunlight in supporting the growth and production of butterfly pea plants. Therefore, careful consideration of shade management is essential in agricultural practices to ensure optimal growth and maximum yield from butterfly pea plants.

Research in this paper is focused on defining the appropriate methodology of integrated product development in the process of constructing and practical application of replaceable segments that are installed on the working surface of the rail construction tamping machine. The research presents an innovative solution of segmental cast inserts made of special alloyed steel with manganese as the alloying element. The specially designed segment of the clamp is a spare part that requires timely replacement to ensure optimal operation of the machine and more extended exploitation. In the paper, the innovative solution was compared with the traditional maintenance procedure by hardfacing a layer on the worn surface of the clamp. The innovativeness of the proposed technological procedure for the maintenance of clamps is reflected in the better reliability, i.e. the extension of the shelf life by up to 4.5 times and the reduction of maintenance by 40.62 times compared to the traditional method of reparative hardfacing. Efficiency, as a key factor in maintenance, is reflected in the fact that, with an inventive solution, the replacement of worn segmental inserts can be done in the field without the need to demobilize the tamping machine and send it to the workshop.

This work introduces a new method for comparing two reaction networks of the same or closely related systems through their embedded networks in terms of the shared set of species. Hence, we call this method the Common Species Embedded Networks (CSEN) analysis. Using this approach, we conduct a comparison of existing reaction networks associated with Wnt signaling models (Lee, Schmitz, MacLean, and Feinberg) that we have identified. The analysis yields three important results for these Wnt models. First, the CSEN analysis of the Lee (mono-stationary) and Feinberg (multi-stationary) shows a strong similarity, justifying the study of the Feinberg model, which was a modified Lee model constructed to study an important network property called ``concordance''. It also challenge the absoluteness of discrimination of the models into mono-stationarity versus multi-stationarity, which is a main result of Maclean et al. (PNAS USA 2015). Second, the CSEN analysis provides evidence supporting a strong similarity between the Schmitz and MacLean models, as indicated by the ``proximate equivalence'' that we have identified. Third, the analysis underscores the absence of a comparable relationship between the Feinberg and MacLean models, highlighting distinctive differences between the two. Thus, our approach could be a useful tool to compare mathematical models of the same or closely related systems.

Systemic vasculitis in Kazakhstan: a complex research approach
Authors: Auanassova A.
Published: July 2024

Rare diseases known as systemic vasculitides involve the inflammatory destruction of blood vessels, leading to complex disorders that can affect a single organ or multiple organs and systems. The challenges in diagnosis, coupled with the lack of awareness among healthcare providers, particularly primary care physicians, and delayed treatment, often result in disability and worsen the prognosis of systemic vasculitis patients. We have conducted a comprehensive research approach to understand the features of systemic vasculitis, considering demographic, clinical, and laboratory data in Kazakhstan (Shymkent city and the Turkestan region). This approach, which encompasses a retrospective research method, an analytical research method, and a one-stage cross-examination (online survey), is essential in our quest to improve the understanding and management of systemic vasculitis in Kazakhstan.

Authors: Teixeira da Silva Jaime A. , Tsigaris P.
Published: July 2024

The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) guidelines are widely employed as an set of ethical standards for biomedical journals, and thus for biomedical researchers. In this paper, we revisit the topic of acknowledgements in academic papers, noting that the former serve as a lesser form of recognition relative to authorship. We note the possible existence of bias, such as a power imbalance due to a status imbalance, as well as the risk of “ghost” acknowledgements. To further ground our ideas, we turned to ChatGPT-4 for input, noting some curious and informative supplementary findings. Curiously, ChatGPT-4 offered a set of recommendations and guidance, comparable to those of the ICMJE.

Treatment of the disorders affecting skull base and craniovertebral junction (С1-С2, C1-C3) associated with craniovertebral instability is an unresolved issue of modern neurosurgery. Patients are often denied surgical care due to the disorder complexity, and treatment is limited to conservative methods (cervical collar, halo apparatus) that are palliative in nature. Patients with craniovertebral pathology have been considered to be radically inoperable until recently. Advanced methods for treatment of patients with various disorders affecting skull base and craniovertebral junction are used and developed in the Burdenko Neurosurgical Center.

Published: July 2024

Arterial hypertension and periodontitis are among the most common chronic diseases in the world. Poor periodontal health associated with an increased prevalence of hypertension may affect blood pressure control. Epidemiological data point to a potential association of periodontitis with elevated blood pressure levels and the prevalence of arterial hypertension. However, in the recommendations of Russian and European cardiologists, this connection is not considered. At the same time, in the last few years, possible mechanisms of the relationship between arterial hypertension and periodontal pathology have been actively discussed, and the results of large-scale studies, reviews and meta-analysis have been published. The review is devoted to the analysis of data on the relationship between arterial hypertension and periodontitis using the PubMed and Scopus electronic information databases. Possible mechanisms of this relationship include common risk factors, low-grade systemic inflammation, immune responses, periodontal bacteria, and endothelial dysfunction. The latest clinical studies and reviews confirming the relationship between arterial hypertension and periodontitis are considered. A positive effect of periodontal treatment on blood pressure control has been noted. The data available today indicate a close relationship between periodontitis and arterial hypertension, which necessitates the clarification of possible dental complaints and examination of the oral cavity during the collection of a patient's history of possible dental complaints and examination of the oral cavity during the supervision of patients with arterial hypertension by internists, and if they are present, referral of patients for consultation and treatment to a dentist . On the other hand, in order to increase the effectiveness of the treatment of periodontal diseases, it is advisable for the dentist to clarify the existing somatic pathology by sending the patient for consultation and treatment to an internist.

Published: July 2024

Asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) are concomitant diseases that are based on common pathogenetic mechanisms and have negative impact on the each other severity. A modern strategy in the severe asthma and CRSwNP treatment is the use of biologicals – monoclonal antibodies that block various pathways of the T2-inflammation, which underlies the development of these diseases. Despite the fact that biologicals used in the asthma and CRSwNP treatment are highly effective and safe, they are not universal and have some limitations associated with their action mechanism.

Literatura e Filosofia em Maurice Blanchot
Authors: Ferraz Adriano H. S.
Published: July 2024

O presente trabalho busca reconstituir os momentos nos quais a primeira obra literária de Blanchot se abre para o pensamento filosófico. Em Thomás, L´Obscur, os temas de um vitalismo a contrapelo, que segue de perto os problemas colocados pela morte imanente à vida, se transpõem numa caracterização importante do que compreende como espaço literário. Tentamos mostrar como sua criação se estende para além do campo literário, dando a ver uma ontologia da linguagem e uma experiência intensiva do real. Apesar de serem incorporados criticamente alguns conceitos bergsonianos (ao invés de vida, duração e memória, o que se passa em Blanchot é morte, instante e esquecimento), não se trata propriamente de ir numa contramão. Tal inversão é ambígua, pois não se falseia propriamente o tipo de realidade para a qual o bergsonismo apontava, mas sim para aprofundá-la.
