Equialtervalentes: el diseño es el otro
Authors: Gutiérrez Borrero Alfredo
Published: April 2023

Escribí esta extroducción al número 10 de la revista La Tadeo Dearte en la ciudad de Chía (Cundinamarca, Colombia) durante meses y a partir de algo que me pregunto hace años: ¿Por qué utilizar la práctica (diseño) y las palabras (investigación, proyecto) de algunos como si fueran las “prácticas” y “palabras” de todos? Según aprendí de Gnecco (2016), el diseño colecciona adjetivos que lo refuerzan sin modificarlo, mientras traducido y pluralizado extermina particularidades. Mediante audios de WhatsApp me comuniqué con los autores cuyos trabajos componen este número sobre los equialtervalentes (como “parecidos-distintos”) para averiguar sobre las circunstancias en que los produjeron. Presento el resultado en cinco “todos” (no partes): 1) Afectos y efectos: empezar finales, terminar principios; 2) EQUI: objeciones éticas al mismo mismo; 3) ALTER: reacciones pasionales al mismo otro; 4) VALENTE: expresiones lógicas del otro otro; y 5) DISSOCONS: el kairós de esos para los cuales el diseño es el otro. Todo en un exilio del diseño (y de la arqueología como coprotagonista) para buscar modos otros de creación presente de futuro y pasado. En la aspiración, aunque parezca lo mismo, de convocar lo otro.

Published: April 2023

Mast cell tumors are by far the most common skin tumors in dogs. The traditional treatment approach is the removal of the entire tumor, typically with 2 to 3 cm lateral margins and one deep facial plane. However, due to several factors, including anatomic location, condition of the patient, and potential involvement of vital tissues, it is not always feasible to take adequate lateral or deep margins, which increases the risk of local tumor recurrence. In cases where the traditional approach cannot be used, the use of tigilanol tiglate (Stelfonta®) as local therapy may offer a potential alternative treatment. Tigilanol tiglate has recently been registered as an intratumoral medicine for non-resectable, non-metastatic mast cell tumors. The aim of this narrative review is to provide a practical overview on the use of tigilanol tiglate in canine mast cell tumors. According to the available literature, tigilanol tiglate is a valuable alternative approach when surgical excision with complete margins is not feasible or desirable. Its application is described as easy-to-administer, and therefore this therapy can be applied by general practitioners as well as in specialized veterinary practices.

Authors: Banchi P. , Lannoo J. , Domain G. , Van Leeuwenberg R. , Van Soom A.
Published: April 2023

Neonatale sterfte vormt een belangrijk probleem bij honden gedurende de eerste drie levensweken. Het risico op puppysterfte is vooral groot tijdens de eerste twee levensdagen en de meeste sterfgevallen doen zich in deze periode voor. Zowel infectieuze als niet-infectieuze aandoeningen, zoals dystocie, trauma en aangeboren misvormingen, kunnen neonatale sterfte veroorzaken. Van alle aandoeningen die bij pups tot de dood kunnen leiden, worden hypoxie, hypothermie en hypoglycemie het meest waargenomen. Een nauwkeurig neonataal klinisch onderzoek maakt het mogelijk om pasgeborenen met een verhoogd risico te identificeren en hen een passende behandeling te geven. Apgarscore, geboortegewicht, lichaamstemperatuur en glycemie zijn nuttige parameters voor de beoordeling van pups met een verhoogd risico. Ten slotte is preventie een belangrijk punt om neonatale ziekten en sterfte te beperken. Preventie gebeurt het beste door een nauwgezet fokbeleid en een goed gecontroleerde omgeving.

Published: April 2023

Online information management system (OIMS) contributes to the overall operations of higher education systems, enhancing operations' productivity and facilitating the university's service delivery. This article highlights the use of the OIMS system by SIMAD University (SU). The system is crucial in enhancing the university's productivity and performance. In this research, the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) are combined to provide a stronger understanding of information systems (IS). Other than that, the model was tested based on the sample size of 100 staff and students from different departments using the path coefficient created via a bootstrapping method. According to the obtained results, perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU) have little impact on users' intentions to utilize IS. Still, facilitating condition (FC), performance expectancy (PE), as well as effect expectancy (EE) do have an impact. The knowledge and literature in the field of this study are enriched by looking at the UTAUT and TAM from the standpoint of IS.

The Realistic Dilemma of Suburban Life: Upon John Cheever’s Work Bullet Park as an Example for American Middle-Class Families
Authors: Zhiqing Xue
Published: April 2023

Bullet Park is a novel written by American novelist John Cheever in the mid-late 20th century that echos the suburban life of American middle-class families after World War II. As a fictional suburban town, the distinctive existence of Bullet Park is like a utopia attempting to hinder the invasion of real society. The men and women in the town live a glamorous life whilst conceding numerous unknown secrets. Cheever constructs the story into three chapters through the strategy of fragmented writing: Nails, Hammer, and the intersection of Nails and Hammer. The novel fully embodies the hypocritical persona of American middle-class families in social communication, the long-standing disorder & dilemma within the families and the generalized spiritual crisis that exists among the stratum who are lingering in agony. The author combines the personal growth experience of Cheever amid some relevant stories occurs to the protagonists inside to analyze the perplexity and floundering of American middle-class society, families, and individuals during that sensitive period, i.e., the period of “Counter-culture Movement”.

Published: April 2023

In this work, the process sequence optimization for double quantum well structure with compound materials AlAsSb/In0.59Ga0.41As/GaAs0.53Sb0.47 is discussed for fabrication purposes. The optimized parameters of the sequences are selected based on the literature study of the materials properties, nanoscale engineering and MBE growth parameters. The thickness of the material layers in the heterostructure is under our control. This is a significant benefit of heterostructures for device construction. In order for uniform epitaxial growth of ternary material AlAsSb, InGaAs and GaAsSb, the deposition time is chosen very slow i.e. 0.5 micrometers per hour during the process in the MBE.

Published: April 2023

Abstract: Federated learning is a decentralized form of Machine Learning in which data subsets are trained on several edge devices aggregated and brought to the centralized server. Here, federated applications store the local copy on all the edge devices such as smartphones where users can use it accordingly. The model gradually learns and trains itself from inputs by the user’s virtual keyboard and becomes smarter iteratively. Devices transfer the results in the form of parameters to the centralized server where these results are aggregated with the help of federated algorithms. For the purpose of next word prediction using federated learning, we implemented different algorithms such as FedAvg, FedProx, FedSgd. In reference to the traditional ML models, data is collected in a centralized location and is used to train the model. However, unlike ML techniques the Federated Learning techniques give more control over user’s data to themselves since the data is not shared with the central server or other devices. Thus, federated learning adheres to the data privacy and feasibility for its users

Published: April 2023

Abstract: Computational analysis imitates the functioning of biological information systems to anticipate and offer novel perspectives on the biological realm. Genome sequencing analysis interactive techniques with the aim of improving the standards of cancer patient, has progressed greatly over the last decades, and is now considered to be one of the major scientific fields that promote innovation in the technology and healthcare sectors. In the field of bioinformatics, the first widespread application of data analysis was the creation of the first collection of systematic data representing the genome sequences of the eukaryotic organisms, termed as the eukaryotic genome, or the "de novo" genome. Tumor suppressor proteins are a class of proteins that are involved in preventing cancer from occurring. Several tumor suppressor proteins have been found to be mutated in certain forms of cancer, resulting in the loss of their tumor suppressing properties. Lung cancer develops when normal lung cells change, or mutate, in a way that alters their natural growth and death cycle, resulting in unregulated cell division that produces too many cells.Deep sequence analysis of non-small cell lung cancer and integrated analysis of gene expression. Understanding the biology of cancer is required to improve patient outcomes. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a powerful tool for whole genome characterization, enabling comprehensive exploration and understanding of the complex interactions between genes, proteins and their environment. NGS in the field of oncology is still in its infancy and the wealth of data that it is capable of generating is revolutionizing our understanding of cancer. ORFs have led to many exciting discoveries in the field of oncology, including the identification of tumor suppressor proteins. One of the most exciting recent discoveries is in the field of tumor suppressor proteins. Tumor suppressor proteins are proteins that play a role in the regulation of cell proliferation and division. Mutations in certain tumor suppressor genes cause cancer, and as a result, a great deal of research has gone into the identification of new tumor suppressor genes
Agency Theory: Review and Evidence
Authors: Tekwani Kajal
Published: April 2023

Abstract: Every month, there are headlines concerning scams on famous online sites. Due to the ease with which scams may be spread, they have become one of the most popular crimes worldwide, inflicting significant emotional, financial, and psychological consequences on millions of people. Despite their significant and pervasive influence, we seem to know very little about why some people fall prey to scams while others remain immune to the strategies used by scammers to entice potential victims. For example, research on the impact of demographic traits (e.g., age) as well as psychological variables (e.g., risktaking) on individuals' vulnerability to scams has yielded inconsistent results. Even little is known about how the type or character of a scam influences a person's susceptibility. Gaining a better knowledge of these issues is essential for developing preventive programs and lowering the occurrence of victimization. We highlight potential interesting directions, present knowledge gaps, and the necessity for decision scientists to solve this crucial challenge.

The priming effect of creativity improves veridical memory in the Deese–Roediger–McDermott paradigm
Authors: Chen Yujie , Zhang Jianing , Wu Xin , Mo Lei
Published: April 2023

The priming effect on creativity refers to the more effective creation of new uses for the second (vs. first) object in a two-item task. This, along with veridical memory loss in the Deese–Roediger–McDermott (DRM) paradigm, is related to mental fixation, and both can be
improved when attention is given to item-specific features. We studied the cognitive mechanism of this priming effect by utilizing the DRM paradigm with a sample of 91 undergraduates recruited from a university in China. We used a two-item task and the DRM paradigm under rapid and slow presentation
conditions to verify our hypotheses by dividing words into high false memory (HFM) and low false memory (LFM) lists. The results showed that the veridical memory of the HFM lists was improved under the slow (vs. rapid) condition for individuals in the high priming effect group, but not for
those in the low priming effect group. Implications are discussed.
Perception of emotion in the facial expressions and body language of athletes
Authors: Huxter Kayla , Atkin Alice Elizabeth , Singhal Anthony
Published: April 2023

Facial expressions are commonly believed to reliably convey emotional information, but some research suggests that people are better at perceiving emotions through body language. We hypothesized that individuals' emotional perception would improve when body imagery was presented, relative
to viewing the face alone. Following musical mood induction, participants were shown images of winning and losing tennis players that were cropped to show either (a) only the face, (b) only the body, or (c) both the face and the body, before rating each player's perceived level of arousal
and emotional experience. Results showed there was a reciprocal emotional rating effect for face imagery, with participants mistakenly rating losing faces as experiencing more positive emotion than winning faces did; when body imagery was shown along with the face, participants' emotional
perception was more accurate. Significant gender differences were observed in ratings of female versus male players. Our study indicates that without further context, emotional perception is unreliable from the face alone. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
Online collective action: Procedural unfairness and action support as predictors based on a dual pathway model
Authors: Shi Jing , Qi Wei , Cui Lijuan
Published: April 2023

To investigate the social-psychological mechanism of online collective action, we explored the impacts of procedural unfairness and action support in accordance with the dual pathway model of coping with collective disadvantage. Our results indicated that manipulated procedural unfairness
and action support independently predicted online collective action intentions in protesting against electrical power restrictions in dormitories during winter for Chinese university students. Procedural unfairness predicted this via emotionfocused coping (group-based anger) but not via problem-focused
coping (group efficacy), whereas action support had a facilitative effect via both emotion- and problem-focused coping. Our findings have both theoretical and practical implications for the mobilization, organization, and prevention of and intervention in online collective action.
Corporate social responsibility and customer loyalty: Does guanxi serve as a mediator?
Authors: Shi Changkuan , Wang Xiaopeng , Liang Huijun , Fu Chenhai
Published: April 2023

This study proposed and tested a model of the direct and indirect impacts of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on customer loyalty through the mediator of guanxi (social connections) of organizations and employees. Participants were 452 life insurance customers in China, who completed
measures of CSR, guanxi, and customer loyalty. Results of structural equation modeling indicated that CSR was positively associated with customer loyalty and that guanxi partially mediated this relationship. The study findings provide new insight into the complex relationship between CSR and
customer loyalty, and may be of use to insurance service providers for increasing customer loyalty.

Apesar de 40,1% terem relatado que tiveram consultas marcadas duas vezes ou mais no ano, consideraram o atendimento favorável. Portanto, a satisfação das mães quanto ao serviço de saúde, ao atendimento, ao acesso à atenção primária e à estrutura da unidade influenciam positivamente no tratamento da criança.
Análise de dados fora do padrão sobre a água de abastecimento da região metropolitana de Salvador
Authors: Rios Israel Henrique Ribeiro
Published: April 2023

Os sistemas de informação do Ministério da Saúde são importantes ferramentas de planejamento das ações de saúde no território brasileiro. O Sistema de Informação de Vigilância da Qualidade da Água para Consumo Humano (Sisagua) oferece para toda a população dados sobre a situação do abastecimento de água para consumo humano, juntamente com eventuais problemas de qualidade que possam existir. É imprescindível para os gestores da área da saúde entender os maiores problemas de cada prestador de serviço de abastecimento a fim de oferecer água de boa qualidade para todas as pessoas, pois, uma vez que se trata de um bem público, todos têm direito à água de qualidade independentemente de sua condição social. Este trabalho averiguou os dados sobre a qualidade da água do estado da Bahia no período de janeiro de 2014 a março de 2022, com o objetivo de observar qual parâmetro de qualidade é responsável pela contaminações do recurso hídrico a ser consumido pelas pessoas, tornando-o fora de padrão conforme a Portaria nº 888/2021 do Ministério da Saúde. Através de gráficos de pizza gerados pelo Excel, foram averiguados os parâmetros que mais levaram a inconformidades. Foram observados, em porcentagem, os municípios que frequentemente ultrapassaram o padrão de potabilidade dentro da região. Dentro da região metropolitana de Salvador, o parâmetro cloro residual livre se destacou, seguido de cor e coliformes totais. A oferta de água doce limpa para a população é um dos pilares da saúde pública, sendo importante a constante evolução dos sistemas de abastecimento.

Authors: Martins-Guimarães Túlio Guilherme , Monteiro Pedro Ivo Duarte , Hardman Carla Menêses , Carvalho Paulo Roberto Cavalcanti
Published: April 2023

Perante um contexto de rápida disseminação do novo coronavírus, inúmeras secretarias municipais e estaduais de saúde adotaram medidas cautelares para diminuir a contaminação. Tais medidas ocasionaram o fechamento de espaços públicos e, igualmente, os ambientes típicos de prática de atividade física foram limitados. Além disso, o isolamento ressoou na população, acarretando diferentes sentimentos que provocaram medos e incertezas, que, adicionado a um frequente estado de luto, atingiram a saúde mental da população. Desse modo, diferentes estratégias e ações intersetoriais foram utilizadas nesse período, visando amenizar os efeitos prejudiciais do isolamento e superar as barreiras para a manutenção de um estilo de vida saudável. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa é relatar uma experiência de desenvolvimento de estratégias e ações de cuidado realizadas com usuários de um programa de promoção à saúde com ajuda das práticas corporais em Recife, Pernambuco.

Published: April 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é compreender a percepção dos gestores municipais de saúde sobre as condições de financiamento do Sistema Único de Saúde na região oeste catarinense. Trata-se de um estudo de caso quanti-qualitativo, descritivo. Participaram gestores municipais de saúde que integravam a Comissão Intergestores Regional. A coleta de dados ocorreu por entrevista semiestruturada e com dados do Sistema de Informação de Orçamento Público em Saúde. As entrevistas foram analisadas pelo método do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo, que resultou em duas ideias centrais: transferências intergovernamentais e planejamento e gestão de recursos municipais de saúde. Evidenciam-se as competências e esforços dos gestores municipais frente ao financiamento do Sistema Único de Saúde, as dificuldades de cooperação regional, o excesso de condicionalidades para uso dos recursos, indicando a necessidade de revisão dos instrumentos indutores da política de saúde, a necessidade de maior comprometimento financeiro do Governo Federal, e o fortalecimento de instâncias com atuação potencializadora de coordenação e cooperação dos entes federados na operacionalização das políticas. Nota-se a falta de espaço fiscal para aplicação de recursos que contribuam para a retomada da atividade econômica e uma nova agenda de financiamento. As principais dificuldades estão relacionadas ao excesso de condicionalidades e à desconsideração das necessidades da região no empenho de recursos públicos.
Desfechos do tratamento de tuberculose nos casos de coinfecção por HIV na Amazônia Legal
Authors: Mariano Amanda Silveira , Orfão Nathalia Halax
Published: April 2023

Um dos grandes desafios para o controle da coinfecção de tuberculose (TB) e do vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV) é o tratamento, que, apesar de ser disponibilizado gratuitamente no Sistema Único de Saúde, apresenta baixos índices de adesão, bem como abandono do tratamento de ambas as doenças por diversos motivos, por exemplo, ausência de vínculo com os serviços de saúde, difícil ingestão dos múltiplos medicamentos e suas possíveis reações adversas, entre outros, consequentemente levando a desfechos desfavoráveis. Nesse sentido, este artigo pretende analisar os desfechos do tratamento de TB em pessoas vivendo com HIV em Rondônia, entre 2008 e 2018. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico com abordagem quantitativa, a partir do levantamento das variáveis clínicas, município de residência e notificação dos casos de coinfecção TB/HIV, com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos, residentes do estado e que não apresentassem a variável “situação de encerramento” em branco. Os dados foram analisados espacialmente no TabWin. Dos 721 casos selecionados, identificou-se baixo percentual de cura (50-84%) e elevado de abandono (6-49%), com tempo médio entre diagnóstico e tratamento de nove dias e, de tratamento, de 158 dias. Somente 25 municípios do estado notificaram casos de coinfecção, embora 34 se caracterizassem como municípios de residência. Com isso, verificam-se centralização das notificações e dificuldades nas estratégias de adesão e vínculo, tal como o tratamento diretamente observado, repercutindo nas ações de controle e, consequentemente, nos desfechos desfavoráveis para o tratamento da TB em pessoas vivendo com HIV em Rondônia.

Authors:   Federal Scientific Agroengineering Center VIM, TSENCH YULIYA , MIRONOVA ANASTASIYA
Published: April 2023

The production of crop production depends on the condition and level of use of agricultural land. (Research purpose) The research purpose is identifying general trends in the change of acreage from 1920 to 2020. (Materials and methods) We have identified three historical periods of the development of land use by soil lands. Characterized the reforms of the formation and development of agriculture in Russia (Results and discussion) A retrospective analysis of the dynamics of the acreage of agricultural crops of three time historical periods was carried out. It was established that in the first historical period (1920-1941), as a result of collectivization and industrialization of agriculture, the area of agricultural land increased from 113.0 to 150.4 million hectares. It was revealed that in the II historical period (1945-1990), the development of virgin and fallow lands increased the area of agricultural land by 56.7 million hectares and in 1960 amounted to 203 million hectares. The peak values of the increase were observed in 1985 - 210.3 million hectares. It was noted that in the III historical period (1991-2021) there is a systematic reduction of the tractor fleet, which led to the disposal of agricultural land. If in 1990 the acreage was 117.7 million hectares, then in 2020 this indicator decreased by 37.8 million hectares and amounted to 79.9. (Conclusions) It was established that the reproduction process in agriculture is impossible without land resources. Of the lost 32.68 million hectares of land, it is necessary to restore and return to active agricultural use, first of all, the most valuable lands for agriculture - arable land, pastures and hayfields.

Circuit simulators are complex tools that depend highly on modeling of
electrical circuit components. Therefore, employing an open-source
circuit simulator within individuals’ learning processes of electronics
can be beneficial, as in both a stronger grasp of circuit component as
well as circuit theory, and deeper understanding of software
development. This paper demonstrates the development of an analogous
circuit simulator of passive electrical components, aiming to provide a
useful and open-source tool that can be used as a study project or be
expanded by being further developed for practice purposes. In order to
validate the correctness of the outputs of the terminal-based simulator,
the simulation results of an exemplary circuit of the terminal-based
simulator were compared to the simulation results of LTSpice for the
same circuit.

Objective: A nationally representative sample of US adults was used to
examine the prevalence of COVID-19 cases, testing, symptoms, and vaccine
uptake, and associations with tobacco product use. Methods: Data came
from the 2021 National Health Interview Survey. The 2021 Sample Adult
component included 29,482 participants with a response rate of 50.9%.
We investigated COVID-19-related outcomes by tobacco product use status
and reported national estimates. Multivariable regression models were
performed accounting for demographics (e.g., age, sex, poverty level),
serious psychological distress, disability, and chronic health
condition. Results: In our regression analyses, odds of self-reported
COVID-19 infection were significantly lower for combustible tobacco
product users (vs. non-users; Adjusted Odds ratio [AOR=0.73; 95%
confidence interval [CI]=0.62-0.85]. Combustible tobacco users
also were less likely to report ever testing for COVID-19 (AOR=0.88;
95% CI=0.79-0.98), ever testing positive for COVID-19 (AOR =0.66; 95%
CI=0.56-0.77), and ever receiving COVID-19 vaccine (AOR=0.58; 95%
CI=0.51-0.66) compared to their non-user peers. Compared to non-users,
users of any type of tobacco who contracted COVID-19 had higher odds of
losing smell (AOR=1.36; 95%CI=1.04-1.77), which was more pronounced
among exclusive e-cigarette users. The odds of receiving vaccine were
lower for all current exclusive tobacco product users compared to
non-users (AORs= 0.40 to 0.70). Conclusions: Continued monitoring of
tobacco product use amid the COVID-19 pandemic is crucial to inform
public health policies and programs. In addition, efforts to promote
COVID-19 vaccination, especially among tobacco product users, are
warranted.

Published: April 2023

Objective: The present paper is to determine the effects and underlying
mechanisms of ivabradine (IVA) on atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods:
Electrophysiological changes were determined using Langendorff-perfused
hearts and patch-clamp techniques. Parameters of Ca
handling were evaluated by using calcium imaging and western blotting.
Results: IVA (0.1-10 μM) slowed HR in a concentration-dependent manner
in isolated hearts of rabbit. IVA induced atrial arrhythmias in 26.1%
and 76.9% of hearts paced at a basic cycle length of 350 and 570 ms,
respectively. In hearts pretreated with either acetylcholine (ACh) or
anemone toxin-II (ATX-II) which caused no inducible atrial arrhythmias,
adding to IVA administration caused atrial arrhythmias in 61.9% (13/21)
and 44.4% (8/18) of hearts, respectively. In atrial myocytes, IVA
induced DADs by 41.7%, 62.5% and 50.0%, respectively, in the absence
and presence of either ACh or ATX-II. IVA increased the frequency,
amplitude and full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of
Ca sparks and decreased Ca
transport in association with increased protein expression of RyR2 and
NCX1 and decreased SERCA2. Conclusion: IVA increases atrial
proarrhythmic risk in hearts with a slow HR, enhanced vagal tone and
increased late sodium current by inducing DADs resulting from an
enhanced intracellular Ca inhomeostasis.

Although a high-resolution three-dimensional mapping system has made it
possible to treat complicated atrial tachyarrhythmia (AT), there remain
cases that are difficult to diagnose and treat.
When a single atrial tachycardia is present and stable, mapping is
relatively easy. However, when multiple different ATs alternately
appear, mapping and diagnosis of those are more difficult. Parallel
mapping module is well known as a good option to simultaneously map two
or more different ATs when they alternately appear.
When performing parallel mapping of two different ATs, one bipolar
signal of the reference catheter is used as a timing reference and a
cycle length filter is used for differentiating AT1, AT2, and others,
including sinus rhythm, fusion beats, or catheter-induced premature
atrial complex. Therefore, it has some limitations for differentiating
multifocal ATs. We present a case wherein multifocal ATs were
successfully eliminated by combining parallel mapping module and
dual-chamber intra-cardiac pattern matching technique that we have
previously reported.
Construction of energy efficiency assessment index system and energy efficiency assessment for beer production enterprises

Published: April 2023

In response to the lack of an accurate and comprehensive understanding
of the specific use of energy and the benefits it generates by beer
producers in the brewing industry. Causes the difficult problem of
energy loss and waste in the production process，For the first time, an
energy efficiency evaluation index system was constructed based on the
seven factors affecting energy efficiency in breweries; using this index
system and the quantitative evaluation model, the seven primary indices
affecting energy efficiency can be ranked, and the superior links can be
found to continue to build on and the weak links to be rectified.
Combining the actual monitoring data of a brewery over a period of time
with the scores scored by on-site experts, and the proposed scheme was
simulated and experimented by Python. The results show that the
assessment results are consistent with the actual situation of the
enterprise and prove the effectiveness and feasibility of this energy
efficiency assessment index system.
Effective transfer of plum pox virus resistance from transgenic plum rootstocks to apricot scions

Published: April 2023

Trans-grafting could be a strategy to transfer virus resistance from a
transgenic rootstock to a wild type scion. However contradictory results
have been obtained in herbaceous and woody plants. This work was
intended to determine if the resistance to sharka could be transferred
from transgenic plum rootstocks to wild-type apricot scions grafted onto
them. To this end, we conducted grafting experiments of wild- type
apricots onto plum plants transformed with a construction codifying a
hairpin RNA designed to silence the PPV virus and studied if the
resistance was transmitted from the rootstock to the scion. Our data
support that the RNA-silencing-based PPV resistance can be transmitted
from PPV-resistant plum rootstocks to non-transgenic apricot scions and
that its efficiency is augmented after successive growth cycles. PPV
resistance conferred by the rootstocks was robust, already occurring
within the same growing cycle and maintained in successive evaluation
cycles. The RNA silencing mechanism reduces the virus titer
progressively eliminating the virus from the wild type scions grafted on
the transgenic resistant PPV plants. There was a preferential
accumulation of the 24nt siRNAs in the scions grafted onto resistant
rootstocks that was not found in the scions grafted on the susceptible
rootstock. This was coupled with a significant lower quantification of
the hpRNA in the resistant than in the susceptible or tolerant
rootstocks. Using transgenic rootstocks should mitigate public concerns
about transgenes dispersion and eating transgenic food and allow
conferring virus resistance to recalcitrant to transformation cultivars
or species.

Published: April 2023

There is abnormal wear and fracture of the retainer in the faulty piston
pump. To investigate the early failure mechanism of the fractured
retainer, a model for the calculation of the transient contact between
the overturning retainer and the slipper is presented. The equations of
the trajectory between the overturning retainer and the slipper are
established based on the transformation matrix and the operating
mechanism of the slipper in the oil sucking and discharging areas. The
trajectory of the push points between the overturning retainer and the
slipper is solved. The failure mechanism of the retainer extrusion wear
is determined. The results show that with the increase of the degree of
overturning, the degree and range of extrusion and wear between the
failure retainer and the slipper is increased. The research elucidates
the failure mechanism of the retainer and lays the foundation for the
dynamics modeling and coupling vibration analysis of the overturning
retainer.
How do plants maintain pH and ion homeostasis under saline-alkali stress?
Authors: Yang Yongqing , Li Jing
Published: April 2023

Salt and alkaline stresses often occur together, severely threatening
plant growth and crop yields. Salt stress induces osmotic stress, ionic
stress, and secondary stresses, such as oxidative stress. Plants under
saline-alkali stress must develop suitable mechanisms for adapting to
the combined stress. Sustained plant growth requires maintenance of ion
and pH homeostasis. In this review, we focus on the mechanisms of ion
and pH homeostasis in plant cells under saline-alkali stress, including
regulation of ion sensing, ion uptake, ion exclusion, ion sequestration,
and ion redistribution among organs by long-distance transport. We also
discuss outstanding questions in this field.

Published: April 2023

Background and purpouse Psychological disorders, such as anxiety and
anhedonia are pain comorbidities, however how pain affects male and
female individuals and through which mechanism is not well understood.
Previous research show pain-induced alterations in the dynorphinergic
pathway in the mesocorticolimbic system (MCLS) together with a
relationship between corticotropin-releasing system and dynorphin
release in the MCLS. Here, we analyse the sex and time course-dependent
effects of pain on negative affect. Additionally, we study the
implication of dynorphinergic and corticotropin releasing factor
involvement in these pain related behaviours. Experimental approach We
used behavioural pharmacology and biochemical tools to characterize
negative affective states induced by inflammatory pain in male and
female rats, and the alterations in dynorphinergic and corticotropin
systems in the MCLS. Key results. Female rats showed a persistent
anxiety-like together with a reversible anhedonia-like behaviours
derived from inflammatory pain. Additionally, we found alterations of in
both dynorphin and corticotropin releasing factor in NAc and amygdala
that suggest sex-dependent dynamic adaptations. Finally blockade on the
kappa opioid receptor in the NAc confirmed its role in pain-induced
anxiety-like behaviour in female rats. Conclusions and implications Our
results show sex and time dependent anxiety- and anhedonia-like
behaviours induced by the presence of pain in female rats. Furthermore,
we replicated previous data pointing to the KOR/dyn recruitment in the
NAc as key neurological substrate mediating these behaviours. This
research encourages the study the mechanisms underlying these
behaviours, to better understand the emotional dimension of pain.
