Authors: Damayanti Rizki
Published: February 2024

This study aims to discuss Indonesia's efforts to use moderate Islam as its new identity in global politics, especially after the events of 9/11. One of the Indonesian efforts is pursued through inter-faith and inter-civilizational dialogue. This research is library research with qualitative methods. The approaches used are historical, political, and Islamic perspectives in contemporary international relations studies, namely Fiqh Siyasah Dauliyah. The study results show that there are two main relevancies between the inter-faith and inter-civilizational dialogue with the principles concept of international relations based on fiqh siyasah dauliyah. First, diversity in Islam is stated as part of God's plan for the benefit of mankind. In this context, the various inter-faith and inter-civilizational dialogues organized by Indonesia are necessary conditions for promoting peace, tolerance, harmony, and religious coexistence in the world today. Second, the concept of dialogue between civilizations and between religions is based on the study of textual analysis and historical interpretation of the Al-Quran and As-Sunnah. In this case, the Al-Quran shows various examples of dialogue, one of which is contained in the Al-Quran Surah An-Nahl verse 125 which asks Muslims to show the best courtesy and wisdom when arguing with people of other religions.

Keywords: inter-faith dialogue; fiqh siyasah dauliyah; moderate Islam.

Root Colonization by Microorganisms and The Effects of PGPR On Plant Growth: A Mini-Review
Authors: Uyi Gerard Osuyi , Idris Salamatu Musa , Sani Bashir Eya , Upla Peter Uteh , Chuku Aleruchi , Okunade Oluwatosin Adeyemi
Published: February 2024

This brief review provides a concise overview of the impact of microorganisms that colonize roots on plant growth, with a particular focus on plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). At the root-soil interface, microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi interact with plants, providing various advantages, including nutrient acquisition, pathogen protection, and stress tolerance. PGPR, which are bacteria that promote plant growth through mechanisms such as nitrogen fixation, potassium solubilization, induction of plant stress resistance and siderophore production, are among the most beneficial of these microorganisms. The colonization process entails chemotaxis, adhesion, and colonization of both the rhizosphere and endosphere, which are facilitated by exopolysaccharides, biofilm formation, and signaling molecules. PGPR has been shown to boost root and shoot growth, enhance nutrient and water use efficiency, and enhance plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stressors. These effects are mediated by direct and indirect interactions between PGPR and plants, which involve modulation of plant immune responses and systemic resistance. Understanding these mechanisms is critical to the exploitation of PGPR in sustainable agriculture. PGPR can reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, but further research is required to unravel the complex interactions between microorganisms and plants, identify key signaling molecules in root colonization, and optimize the use of PGPR in various crops. This brief review underlines the importance of root colonization by microorganisms, particularly PGPR, in promoting plant growth and sustainable agriculture.

The Impact of Signaling on the 2022 to 2023 Orthopaedic Residency Application Cycle: A Survey of Incoming Residents
Authors: Tarapore Rae , Wieland Mark D. , Haislup Brett , Imbergamo Casey , McCormick Brian , Castillo Wilfrido , Boucher Henry
Published: February 2024

Background:

During the 2022 to 2023 orthopaedic surgery residency application cycle, “signaling” was added, allowing applicants to communicate strong interest to 30 programs of their choosing. This study's purpose was to evaluate signaling's impact on the 2022 to 2023 application cycle.

Methods:

A cross-sectional survey was distributed to applicants who applied to a single residency program. We evaluated how many interviews the average applicant received, what proportion of interviews came from programs they had signaled, and what percentage of applicants matched at a program they had signaled. We stratified data by American Orthopaedic Association status, United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 and Step 2 scores, research items, sex, and race.

Results:

This survey was distributed to 611 applicants, with 124 (20.3%) responding to the survey. Ninety-five respondents (76.6%) matched. The percentage of applicant interviews that came from signaled programs was 78.7%. Ninety-one percent of matched applicants matched at a program they signaled. Sixty-three percent of matched applicants performed an away rotation at their matched programs. Forty-five percent of applicants felt that signaling incentivized reducing the programs they applied to, and applicants gave signaling a high favorability rating of 4/5. Applicants with Alpha Omega Alpha status received more interviews per application (0.18 ± 0.11 vs. 0.10 ± 0.10, p < 0.001) and more interviews from programs they did not signal (74% of interviews from signaled programs vs. 90% of interviews from signaled programs, p < 0.001). Higher Step 1 and Step 2 scores were associated with more interviews per application (Step 1: 0.16 ± 0.12 vs. 0.12 ± 0.08, p = 0.032) (Step 2: 0.16 ± 0.11 vs. 0.12 ± 0.09, p = 0.032).

Conclusion:

Orthopaedic residency applicants received most of their interviews from programs that they signaled, with an overwhelming majority matching at signaled program. Alpha Omega Alpha status and high USMLE scores were associated with more interviews granted per application, regardless of signaling status. Signaling seems to be a favorable option for orthopaedic applicants. Data from future application cycles will help further evaluate signaling's impact on the orthopaedic match.

Published: February 2024

The pandemic has changed the dynamics of the educational system, which has drastically turned toward remote learning. This sudden shift from conventional classroom instruction to online learning has affected the students' performance as second language learners. This study focuses on how undergraduate students perceive language learning anxiety when widespread online learning is implemented. This study used a quantitative approach through an adapted questionnaire to gather perspectives from 168 undergraduate students enrolled in online English language courses at a public institution in Malaysia. An analysis of the items was carried out using SPSS software. The findings showed that communication apprehension and fear of negative evaluation are the most prominent factors contributing to students’ language learning anxiety. Test anxiety, on the other hand, was reported to be the least important element. This study suggested that the implementation of online learning may influence the students’ language learning anxiety, and this was further examined along with recommendations for future research.

Authors: Hayawati Nita Elia , Faizah Ulinnuha Nur
Published: February 2024

One of the characters that must be developed in students is curiosity, namely the desire to know more deeply and broadly about something that is learned, seen or heard. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of the socio-scientific based CIRC model on Students’ Curiosity. The CIRC model is cooperative learning that integrates reading and writing activities using a socio-scientific approach which is new to research. This research uses a quasi-experimental quantitative method. The sample consisted of 25 students as the experimental class and 25 students as the control class. Data collection techniques use tests and observation sheets which are analyzed descriptively quantitatively and inferential statistics. The results of the independent sample t-test produce a P-Value of 0.000, if the P-Value <α = 5% (0.05), then H0 is rejected, meaning there is a significant difference between the curiosity of experimental class and control class students. The results of the one tailed t-test produced a P-Value of 0.000 so that H0 was rejected and the estimated value for difference was 10.80, so the curiosity of experimental class students was better than that of the control class. The ANCOVA test shows a significance of 0.000<α=(0.05), meaning that the socio-scientific based CIRC model is declared effective in increasing curiosity. It can be concluded that the curiosity of students who use the socio-scientific based CIRC model is more effective than those who use the socio-scientific based non CIRC model.

CryoTRANS: Quality Preserved Trajectory for Boosting Resolutions of Rare Conformations in cryo-EM
Authors: Bao Chenglong , Fan Xiao , Zhang Qi , Hu Mingxu , Zhang Hui , Zhu Jianying , Shi Zuoqiang
Published: February 2024

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) single-particle analysis (SPA) has revolutionized structural biology, enabling the efficient determination of structures at atomic or near-atomic resolutions. However, a common challenge arises from the severe imbalance among various conformations of the vitrified particles, leading to low-resolution reconstructions in rare conformations due to a lack of particle images in these quasi-stable states. To address this limitation, we introduce CryoTRANS, a method that enhances the resolution of rare conformations. CryoTRANS constructs a quality-preserved trajectory between density maps of varying resolutions, utilizing an ordinary differential equation parameterized by a deep neural network. This ensures the retention of detailed structures from high-resolution density maps. Leveraging one high-resolution density map, CryoTRANS significantly improves the reconstruction of rare conformations, demonstrating its potential through real-world cryo-EM cases and providing valuable insights into dynamic biological processes.

The delivery of genetically encoded fluorescent sensors via adeno-associated viral vectors (AAVs) enables the quantification of biological analytes with high spatiotemporal resolution in living animals. In this study, we expose an unreported problem of the approach, in which the presence of repeated subsequences in the sensor’s DNA sequence triggers recombination during AAV production. In the case of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) sensors, recombination leads to a mixture of fluorescent products, severely compromising in vivo functionality. To counter this phenomenon, we introduced Abundance-Biased Codon Diversification (ABCD), a computational method that prevents recombination without sacrificing codon optimization for a target organism. We demonstrate that ABCD greatly facilitates in vivo studies by restoring the functionality of FRET sensors and advanced inducible expression systems delivered via AAV vectors. We thereby offer a robust solution to a previously overlooked challenge for quantitative imaging and genetic manipulation in living animals using AAV-mediated strategies.

Published: February 2024

Climate change is one of the most challenging and inevitable global environmental problems affecting mankind and its environment regardless of urban and rural areas. Its effect on watershed hydrology is challenging the sustainable water resources management and its availability across the globe. In order to develop a sustainable climate change adaptation strategy, understanding watershed hydrological response to the ever increasing climate change is highly important. Hence, the main objective of this study was investigating role of watershed hydrological response in developing climate resilience and adaptation strategy as a case study in Gilgal Gibe watershed, Omo Gibe river basin, Ethiopia. To achieve the main objective of the study, three regional climate models (RCM) derived from one global climate model (GCM) under two greenhouse gas emission scenarios (RCP4.5 & RCP8.5) were collected from CORDEX Africa. These data were analyzed against the 1986–2016 baseline data and projected for near future term (2020–2050) and for near future term (2051–2080). The climate dataset trend analysis over the specified period was conducted using Mann-Kendall test and the hydrological modeling was performed using the calibrated and validated HEC-HM model. From the analysis it was found that hydro-climate variability over the proposed time horizon was clearly observed from all RCM under both greenhouse gas emission scenarios. The stream flow revealed an oscillating trend over the course of the operation years under RCP4.5 and RCP8. Hence, this information is important for water resources manager, decision makers and policy makers to develop sustainable climate change resilience and adaptation.

Published: February 2024

Background
Physical frailty is an age-related clinical condition that is accompanied by deterioration in physiological capacity. In aged mice, we had shown that changes in RNA expression of metabolism-related genes in circulating white blood cells significantly altered with muscle weakness.
Methods
In this explorative analysis, 20 elderly volunteers were enrolled and link between RNA expression profiles in circulating white blood cells and physical frailty was investigated.
Results
There were significant differences in RNA expression of metabolism-related genes, such as glucose transporter 1 (Glut1), Glut3, AMP-activated protein kinase A (AMPKa) and prolyl hydroxylase 3 (PHD3) between elderly individuals with and without swallowing dysfunction and masticatory disturbance. Furthermore, the level of metabolism-related RNA expression of circulating white blood cells was significantly different between the elderly with and without exercise habit. Subsequent mechanism of action studies in mice have revealed a direct link between circulating cells and endothelium/satellite cells in muscle tissue.
Conclusions
Our results indicate the level of metabolism-related RNA expression in circulating white blood cells can serve as a marker of physical frailty in the elderly and provide evidence of a significant role of direct cellular interaction between circulating white blood cells and cells in muscle tissue.

The Behavioral Assessment Screening Tool (BAST) measures self-reported neurobehavioral symptoms commonly experienced by adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI). To assess the convergent, discriminant, and known-groups validity of the BAST among community-dwelling adults with chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI), we conducted correlation analyses and tests of group differences with previously validated symptom measures in two samples (n = 111, n = 134). Measures used for comparison were: Patient Health Questionnaire (depression), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (anxiety), Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Frontal Systems Behavior Scale (Executive Dysfunction, Apathy, Disinhibition), Modified Fatigue Impact Scale, PROMIS Fatigue, Aggression Questionnaire (anger, hostility, physical and verbal aggression), and Alcohol Use Disorders Test (alcohol misuse). BAST subscales had stronger correlations with measures of similar (|r|=.602-.828, p < .001) and related (|r|>.30, p < .001) constructs and weaker correlations (|r|<.300) with measures of dissimilar/unrelated constructs, supporting hypotheses of convergent and discriminant validity, respectively. Statistically significant group differences (p’s < .001) in BAST subscales were found, with large effect sizes (Cohen’s d = 1.2–1.9), for known-groups with moderate-severe depression, moderate-severe anxiety, clinically significant fatigue, problematic disinhibited and frontal-executive behaviors, and alcohol use. Conclusions: Results support the convergent and discriminant validity of the BAST subscales. The BAST was specifically developed as a self-reported measure for remote symptom reporting, supporting its incorporation into mobile health platforms to improve chronic symptom monitoring in community-dwelling adults with TBI. With further validation research, the BAST could be used for early identification of persons with TBI who could benefit from intervention.
Is increased life stress associated with similar changes in Big-Five Personality across Cognitive Impairment or Dementia (CI/D) and Non-CI/D cases?
Authors: Oi Katsuya
Published: February 2024

Objective: This study investigates how life stress correlates with changes in Big-Five personality factors among individuals with and without cognitive impairment or dementia (CI/D).
Methods: Utilizing data from 12,445 participants aged 50 or above in the Health and Retirement Study (2006-2020), we examined personality changes over an 8-year period. Participants were categorized into CI/D and Non-CI/D groups based on a cut-off score in the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status-modified (TICS-m). Our analysis regresses estimated personality changes on baselines and variations of a Life Stress index during the same timeframe.
Results: Increased life stress is associated with heightened neuroticism and reduced conscientiousness, extraversion, and openness across both CI/D and Non-CI/D cases. These correlations persist irrespective of TICS-m score variations within each group.
Discussion: life stress as a significant factor in personality changes, cautioning against diagnostic interpretations of cognitive impairment that rely solely on personality assessments.
Non-parametric quantile regression-based modelling of additive effects to solar irradiation in Southern Africa

Modelling of solar irradiation is paramount to renewable energy management. This warrants the inclusion of additive effects to solar irradiation. To help develop the frameworks, this current study modelled solar irradiation using non-parametric quantile regression (QR). The approach applies quantile splines when finding the best relationships between covariates and the response variable. As a result, the method was very suitable because relationship structures between covariates and solar irradiation are unknown. However, some additive effects are perceived as linear. Thus, the study included the partially linear additive quantile regression model (PLAQR) in our quest to find how best the additive effects can be modelled. The PLAQR model compared very well on reliability analysis, but it was outperformed by the new quantile generalised additive model (QGAM) we proposed, on all other metrics. Modelling of solar irradiation using QGAM is new to renewable energy studies. The Winkler score is another metric where QGAM was inferior, however, an additive quantile regression model was the best. Even though the models had also approximately the same continuous rank probability score in all cases, the QGAM was the best in most metric evaluations. The three models performed differently in different locations, but the location was not a significant factor in their performances. In contrast, forecasting horizon and sample size influenced model performance differently in the three additive models. The performance variations also depended on the metric being evaluated. Therefore, the study has established the best forecasting horizons and sample sizes for the different metrics. It was finally concluded that a 20% forecasting horizon and a minimum sample size of 10000 data points are ideal when modelling additive effects of solar irradiation using non-parametric QR.

Preserving residual limb health in lower-limb amputees is of paramount significance, given its pivotal role in their overall well-being and mobility. This work reports that the elevated vacuum suspension (EVS) system improves blood hemoglobin oxygenation and reduces the potential risk of limb ischemia compared to the standard-of-care (SOC) socket-liner system via a global oxygen mapping modality of spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) to assess skin oxygenation and hemoglobin perfusion qualitatively and quantitatively in individuals with lower-limb loss. Conventional methodologies, such as pulse oximetry, are recognized for their inherent limitations in yielding localized tissue oxygenation measurements, thereby failing to offer a comprehensive evaluation. The introduced imaging modality is postulated to provide a more holistic and detailed analysis of the content of tissue chromophores compared to traditional point measurement techniques. The research protocol enlisted six subjects who participated in a protracted 32-week regimen. This encompassed an array of assessments, including evaluations of limb health, socket fit tests, and surveys gauging the impact of socket pressure on the limb skin, both pre-, and post-physical activity. This study also sought to ascertain the efficacy of an experimental prosthesis incorporating EVS technology, contrasting its performance against standard-of-care prostheses. The findings indicate that compared to SoC, the use of the EVS socket system has benefited the effects of residual limb as measured by improved tissue oxygen and better deeper tissue hemoglobin perfusion. Such insightful data holds substantial promise in aiding clinicians to render more informed decisions about managing individuals with limb loss.

Background: To investigate the predictive validity of GCS, GCS-Pupils and FOUR for patients admitted to the Neuro-Surgical ICU.
Methods: In this retrospective study, all the adult patients admitted to Neuro-Surgical ICU from January 2017 to January 2020 were recruited. The GCS, GCS-pupils and FOUR scores were obtained at their ICU admission. Correlation analyses were conducted between the scores and the outcomes.
Results: 181 patients were included in the outcomes analysis. The average scores of GCS was 5 (3-9), GCS-Pupils was 5 (1-10) and FOUR was 7 (0-16).The scores of all the three scales were correlated with the primary outcome (6-month GOSE), FOUR had the best predictive value(OR=0.5, 95%CI: 0.4~0.5) and the most refined cut-off value.The scores of the FOUR and GCS-Pupils were correlated with all the secondary outcomes(p<0.05), the scores of GCS was not correlated with the ICU LOS and MV time(p>0.05).
In the subgroup analysis of more severe patients, the scores of FOUR were correlated with all the outcomes(p<0.01) except the ICU LOS and MV time(p>0.05), the scores of the GCS-Pupils were not correlated with the outcomes(p>0.05).
Conclusions: FOUR has the best predictive validity for patients admitted to NSICU, especially for those with severe consciousness disorders or mechanical ventilation.

Published: February 2024

A novel Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage, PaYy-2 was isolated from a lake in China and its genome has been sequenced and characterized. Payy-2 has a 92,348 bp double-stranded DNA genome encoding 168 proteins, which has 68% similarity with the genome of the known Pseudomonasphage YS35. According to the phylogenetic analysis, the putative RNA polymerase was similar to that of Pseudomonasphage SRT6（similar index 94%）and the putative terminase_large_subnit was similar to that of the phages YS35（similar index 96%）which belongs to the Pakpunavirus genus. We also observed the morphology of the new phage by TEM whcih demonstrated the phage tails and particles morphology. All these findings indicate that the PaYy-2 phage can be classified as a new species of the Pakpunavirus genus of the family Myoviridae for the first time.

Published: February 2024

The conventional residual chi-square detection method has a low detection rate for slow-changing faults in the integrated navigation system of the Inertial Navigation System/Global Navigation Satellite System (INS/GNSS). To tackle this issue, we propose an improved Levenberg-Marquardt-Gauss-Newton (LM-GN) algorithm to aid the integrated navigation system in detecting slow-changing faults. The algorithm is designed to tackle this issue. When constructing the detection statistics, the measurement data is assessed independently for failures. The paper proposes a dual-threshold detection method. It then divides the measurement data into three parts for classification processing. When the detection data falls within the two thresholds, the trust region technology is used. It improves the iteration speed and accuracy of the LM algorithm and improves the sensitivity of fault detection. An experiment is conducted to validate the proposed method's effectiveness. It tests fault detection in the INS/GNSS integrated navigation system. The experimental results demonstrate that the improved LM-GN algorithm-assisted dual-threshold fault detection reduces the system's missed fault alarm rate by 46.7%. It also improves speed accuracy by 43.9% compared to the traditional dual-threshold residual chi-square detection method. Additionally, the positional accuracy has increased by 16.9%.
