Published: May 2020

COVID-19 has turned out to be a global pandemic within a very short period since its first origin in China in December2019. With the gradual increase in the mortality rate all over the world, there is an urgent need for an effectual drug. Though no clinically approved vaccine or drug is available until now but scientists are trying hard to identify potential antivirals to this new coronavirus. Several drugs like hydroxychloroquine, remdesivir, azithromycin etc. are put under evaluation in more than 300 clinical trials for the treatment of COVID-19. Few of them already show encouraging results. The main agent of disease progression of COVID-19 is SARS-CoV2/nCoV, which is believed to have ~89% genetic resemblance with SARSCoV, a coronavirus responsible for the massive outbreak in 2003. With this hypothesis, a recently developed in silico Human-nCoV network and potential COVID-19 spreader proteins, have been derived from the Human-SARS-CoV protein interactions using SIS model and fuzzy thresholding, followed by a potential FDA drugs target based validation. We then perform a two-way analysis to identify the potential drug targets of COVID-19. In the first analysis, we identify the complete list of FDA drugs for the 37 level 1 and 4948 level 2 spreader proteins in this network followed by the application of a consensus strategy. In the second analysis, the same consensus strategy is applied but on a curated overlapping set of key genes identified from COVID-19 symptoms, risk factors and clinical outcome. The applied consensus strategy in both the analysis reveals that Fostamatinib, a FDA approved drug, has the highest drug consensus score both in level 1 and level 2. Further analysis reveals that Fostamatinib also targets CYP3A4, a level 2 spreader protein and the most common target formost of the potential COVID-19 drugs. A subsequent docking study also reveals that Fostamatinib has also the highest docking score with respect to 6LU7, the crystal structure of COVID-19 main protease in complex with an inhibitor N3, in comparison to other potential drugs like hydroxychloroquine, remdesivir, favipiravir and darunavir. Our computational study suggests that Fostamatinib may also be considered as one of the potential candidates for further clinical trials in pursuit to counter the spread of COVID-19.

"Threatening Others": National Identity and Group Threats Predict Immigration Policy
Authors: Molina Ludwin , Preddie Justin
Published: May 2020

The present research examines the relationship between national identity, perceived group threats, and immigration policy. Across two studies, we examine how patriotism (an arguably critical form of national identity) and nationalism (an ethnocentric and dominance-oriented form of national identity; Sidanius, Feshbach, Levin, & Pratto, 1997) predict strong stances on immigration policy (Studies 1 & 2). Furthermore, does the inclusion of symbolic threats (Studies 1 & 2) and realistic threats (Study 2) decrease the relationship between different forms of national identity and immigration policy? One of the key findings across the two studies is that symbolic threats reduce the relationship between nationalism and immigration policy but not between patriotism and immigration policy. The findings extend previous research (Mukherjee et al., 2012) by providing evidence that symbolic threats (e.g., immigrants are changing what it means to be American) underpin the relationship between nationalism and immigration policy.

AbstractComputer software (software) is a part of a computer system that has no physical form and is not visible because it is a collection of electronic data that is stored and regulated by a computer in the form of a program that can run a command. A software is a connecting bridge that connects users with hardware so that they can carry out certain commands. So, without software the computer is just a machine that cannot execute any commands from the user.Keyword : softwareAbstrak Perangkat lunak komputer (software) adalah suatu bagian dari sistem komputer yang tidak memiliki wujud fisik dan tidak terlihat karena merupakan sekumpulan data elektronik yang disimpan dan diatur oleh komputer berupa program yang dapat menjalankan suatu perintah.

Published: May 2020

A computationally highly efficient full-wave model of OCT-scan formation by focused beams in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) is presented. Similarly to some previous models, it is based on summation of fields scattered by discrete sub-resolution scatterers and enables accounting for axial and lateral inhomogeneity of the illuminating Gaussian beam. The main feature ensuring high computational efficiency of the described model is that instead of numerical integration of the scattered signal over the receiving aperture we apply analytical description of both the illuminating-beam focusing and collection of the scattered signals over the receiving aperture. Elimination of numerical integration over the receiving aperture has increased the computation speed by a factor of ~ 10^3. This is of key importance for practical feasibility of simulations of 3D OCT data volumes for large amounts (~ 10^5-10^7 ) of scatterers corresponding to realistic densities of cells in biological tissues. We demonstrate the model possibilities by simulating digital refocusing of strongly focused OCT beams in the presence moving scatterers. A novel principle of contrast-agent-free visualization of scatterer flows with velocities typical of blood microcirculation is demonstrated.
Processing symbolic numbers: The example of distance and size effects
Authors: Krajcsi Attila , Kojouharova Petia , Lengyel Gabor
Published: May 2020

According to the dominant view in the literature, several numerical cognition phenomena are explained coherently and parsimoniously by the Approximate Number System (ANS) model, which model supposes an evolutionarily old, simple representation behind many numerical tasks. We offer an alternative model, the Discrete Semantic System (DSS) to explain the same phenomena in symbolic numerical tasks. Our alternative model supposes that symbolic numbers are stored in a network of nodes, similar to conceptual or linguistic networks. The benefit of the DSS model is demonstrated through the example of distance and size effects of comparison task.

Published: May 2020

Background. Deaf American Sign Language (ASL) users represent an understudied linguistic/cultural minority group experiencing social disenfranchisement leading to a myriad of health inequities. Community-engaged and community-based participatory research is a best practice when working with Deaf ASL-users; yet, prior research using large funding mechanisms from governmental organizations is mostly unattainable by community organizations. The purpose of this study was to conduct a pilot survey assessing the feasibility of community-engagement methods to administer a low cost, community-oriented, accessible health survey among Deaf ASL-users in Florida. Methods. We established a community advisory workgroup of representatives from major Deaf-serving organizations and higher density localities. The community-academic partnership developed an accessible health survey available in ASL and English. The pilot survey was administered over a three-month period in summer 2018 using convenience sampling strategies including in-person recruitment at community events, and advertisements through Facebook and community e-mail lists. Results. Our recruitment strategy yielded 92 eligible, and diverse, respondents from across the state of Florida. We provide lessons learned from our strategy including considerations for including community members as translation reviewers; recruiting participants across a large geographic area with limited time; and, informed consent strategies. Conclusions. Limited resource environments are pervasive in public health practice and in the communities we serve. Using data from this pilot survey, we identified recommendations for future study methodology to improve community-orientation and participant recruitment among this priority population.
Leveraging parasympathetic nervous system activity to study risk for psychopathology: The special case of callous-unemotional traits
Authors: Wagner Nicholas J. , Waller Rebecca
Published: May 2020

Callous-unemotional (CU) traits are implicated in the development of severe and persistent antisocial behavior, and appear to arise from distinct behavioral, temperament, physiological, and neural risk factors to other types of externalizing psychopathology. Although existing etiological models have attempted to characterize specific mechanisms underlying the emergence of CU traits, prior empirical work is plagued by a host of inconsistent results. This inconsistency is particularly apparent in research that has investigated variation in physiological functioning, arousal, and reactivity. In this review, we summarize and evaluate studies that have examined the role of parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) functioning in child psychopathology, including studies of CU traits. We argue that the inclusion of measures of PNS activity can significantly enhance our understanding of the etiology of CU traits, provide clarity to the inconsistent findings of prior studies, and advance mechanistically-targeted interventions and treatments. We conclude the review by providing foundational and testable hypotheses about the role that disrupted PNS functioning could play in multiple pathways to CU traits beginning in infancy and across development.
The Relevance of Subjective Benefits in Risky Choice Across ten Domains of Life
Authors: Jarecki Jana Bianca , Wilke Andreas
Published: May 2020

In risk-research, there are two traditions of measurement: the attribute-based and the vignette-based tradition. The attribute-based approach focuses on the impact that the attributes (prob-abilities and outcomes) of risky options have on the processing of risk-related information. The vignette-based approach fo-cuses on responses to questions about contextualized situations involving risk. We bring these two approaches together here to investigate the stability of risk preferences and information processing in risky choice tasks across different contextualized situations. To this end, we employ an evidence-based multi-attribute gamified risky choice task in a retest design. The re-sults (N = 226) show that risk propensities are very stable within domains across time. Participants’ explicit beliefs about risks and returns did not accurately reflect the actual rank order of the costs and benefits of actions in the real world, which we obtained from statistical databases. Also, we find that that pro-spect theory’s risk-attitude parameters are mostly unrelated to the risk-taking in the contextualized task, and that benefit per-ceptions influence risk-taking, in line with a risk-return trade-off view on risk-taking.

Published: May 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly influenced daily life all over the world. The present study assesses what factors influenced inhabitants of the United Kingdom to comply with lockdown and social distancing measures. It analyses data from an online survey, conducted on April 6-8, 2020, amongst a nationally representative sample of 555 participants who currently reside in the UK. The results show that compliance depended mostly on people’s capacity to comply with the rules, and the normative obligation they feel to obey the law. As such, compliance was not associated with deterrence or obedience out of fear, but rather with people’s practical abilities and intrinsic motivation to comply. The paper discusses policy implications for effective mitigation of the virus.
Equilibrium in Nash’s mind
Authors: Penchev Vasil Dinev
Published: May 2020

Donald Capps suggested the hypothesis that “the Nash equilibrium is descriptive of the normal brain, whereas the game theory formulated by John van Neumann, which Nash’s theory challenges, is descriptive of the schizophrenic brain”. The paper offers arguments in its favor. They are from psychiatry, game theory, set theory, philosophy and theology. The Nash equilibrium corresponds to wholeness, stable emergent properties as well as to representing actual infinity on a material, limited and finite organ as a human brain.
Cultural Schemas: What They Are, How to Find Them, and What to Do Once You've Caught One
Authors: Boutyline Andrei , Soter Laura
Published: May 2020

Cultural schemas are a central cognitive mechanism through which culture affects action. In this manuscript, we develop a theoretical model of cultural schemas that is better able to support empirical work, including inferential, sensitizing, and operational uses. We propose a multilevel framework centered on a high-level definition of cultural schemas that is sufficiently broad to capture its major sociological uses but still sufficiently narrow to identify a set of cognitive phenomena with key functional properties in common: cultural schemas are socially shared heuristic representations deployable in automatic cognition. We use this conception to elaborate the main theoretical properties of cultural schemas, and to provide clear criteria that distinguish them from other cultural or cognitive elements. We then propose a series of concrete tests empirical scholarship can use to determine if these properties apply. We also demonstrate how this approach can identify potentially faulty theoretical inferences present in existing work. Then, moving to a lower level of analysis, we elaborate how cultural schemas can be algorithmically conceptualized in terms of their building blocks. This leads us to recommend improvements to methods for measuring cultural schemas. We conclude by proposing fruitful sensitizing questions for future scholarship.
Subjective social mobility and health in Germany
Authors: Präg Patrick , Gugushvili Alexi
Published: May 2020

One’s current socioeconomic position is intimately tied to one’s health status. Further, childhood living conditions also exert lasting effects on the health of adults. However, studies on changes in one’s socioeconomic position over the life course rarely find important effects of social mobility for individual health and wellbeing. Such studies always draw on objective measures of social mobility and do not consider subjective appraisals of social mobility by individuals themselves. Using cross-sectional, representative German survey data, we explore the question as to how subjective perceptions as opposed to objective accounts of occupational status mobility affect five self-reported health and wellbeing outcomes differently. We show that objective and subjective accounts of social mobility overlap, yet this association is far from perfect. Further, there are relatively small associations between objective and subjective mobility accounts and health outcomes. Associations between subjective mobility perceptions and health outcomes are intriguingly independent of objective social mobility trajectories. Mismatches between objective and subjective mobility are also correlated with some health outcomes. We discuss implications of our finding that social mobility is associated with those aspects of health which are more closely related to psychological wellbeing rather than physical health.
Mood Disorders Specialized Services: An Overview of Existing Practices and Models
Authors: Kolar Dusan , Mana Aishah Al , Kolar Dusan
Published: May 2020

Objective: This paper presents a brief overview of specialized mood disorders centres in North America,
shedding light on the type of services it offers and exploring which types of specialized mood disorders
service is more efficient. One-time consultation type service, which is the mandate of most specialized mood
disorder services in Canada and USA functioning primarily as a consultation clinic in which patients receive
an extensive single-visit assessment and recommendations. The other type employed offering short-term
follow up. Advantages and disadvantages of each type of services were elaborated.
Method: We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, Ovid Medline, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library and Google
search for papers addressing organizational aspects of mood disorders services, systematic reviews and
research papers comparing different type of specialized mood disorders services published in the past 10
years. The literature on this topic is sparse.
Results: The available literature on the organizational aspects of specialized mood disorders services is
extremely sparse. Based on the review of existing practices, the one-time consultation should be the standard
of care in specialized mood disorders programs. Family medicine supported by collaborative mental health
and ACTT would be viable follow-up options for patients with treatment resistant mood disorders.
Conclusion: Applying the role of community services, aid moving back to one -time consultation type of
mood disorders services, facilitating the access of clients who are most in need of specialized mood disorder
programs is fundamental.
The Synergistic Effect of Anabolic Steroid and Loading on Intercellular Calcium Signaling Via Gap Junctions in Human Supraspinatus Tendon Cells
Authors: Triantafyllopoulos Ioannis K. , Triantafyllopoulos Ioannis K. , Dede Natasa
Published: May 2020

Objective: We hypothesized that anabolic steroid administration would act synergistically with substrate
strain in two-dimensional cultures of human supraspinatus tendon cells, to upregulate the expression of
connexin-43 and to increase the Ca2+ wave propagation through gap junctions.
Methods: Supraspinatus tendon cells were isolated intra-operatively from human specimens during
shoulder arthroscopy. Cells were plated in two-dimensional spot cultures and arranged into four
experimental groups: 1) non-load, non-steroid (NLNS, n=12 wells); 2) non-load, steroid (NLS, n=12 wells);
3) load, non-steroid (LNS, n=12 wells); and 4) load, steroid (LS, n=12 wells) in order to produce bioartificial
tendons (BATs). The load groups were stretched in culture plates and the steroid groups were given
nandrolone decanoate. When BATs were macro- and microscopically mature, at five days, they were
evaluated with immunocytochemistry for connexin-43 staining, fluorescence microscopy for calcium
imaging and mechanical stimulation with a micropipette tip manipulation for calcium propagation. Dose
response test was performed in order to establish any relation between nandrolone decanoate dose and
calcium signaling response. ATP was applied to the spot culture cells from all groups and all patients to
determine if the cells were sensitive to extracellular ATP.
Results: Load-steroid group demonstrated the greatest density of cnx43 in comparison to all other groups.
There were no significant differences between the groups considering the percentage of cells responding
after mechanical stimulation (cell recruitment). The cells of load-steroid group showed a significantly
greater mean peak [Ca2+]ic compared to the values of the other groups (p<0.05). The propagation time was
significantly decreased in the LS group compared with the other groups (p<0.05). There were no significant
differences between the groups considering the number of cells that were responding spontaneously prior
to stimulation or the number of responding cells that were oscillating after the stimulation.
Conclusion: Nandrolone decanoate and loading seem to have a synergistic effect on the upregulation of the
gap junction protein cxn43 enhancing calcium signaling via gap junctions. Consecutively, anabolic steroid
administration and load may enhance the formation of a better-organized cytoskeleton and particularly the
actin stress monofilaments.
Surgical Management of Disseminated Pulmonary Mucormycosis in the Immunocompromised
Authors: Blasberg Justin D. , Sotolongo Alex , Detterbeck Frank , Blasberg Justin D.
Published: May 2020

Background: Pulmonary mucormycosis is a rare and aggressive fungal infection that is known to
predominantly affect immunocompromised hosts. Early surgical resection with prolonged antimycotic
therapy is an established therapy for localized disease; however, the role of surgery in multifocal pulmonary
disease is less clear.
Case: We report successful treatment of medically refractory disseminated pulmonary mucormycosis with
a salvage lobectomy and intrapleural antibiosis in a 58-year-old immunocompromised female.
Conclusion: Surgery resection of necrotic foci in disseminated pulmonary mucormycosis is a viable
surgical treatment option even if extensive resection is required. This treatment option should be considered
early, given the high incidence of medically refractory disease.

Exploring information or new knowledge from existing data sets is an important point of the data mining process, such as a collection of course value data that has been stored, but its potential has not been raised to find new benefits. While on the other hand there is the problem of how to find the concentration of studies that are in accordance with the competencies of the students themselves. This study was conducted to find the concentration selection pattern, based on some of the best value data from the courses that have been taken using the Apriori Algorithma, where the rules in this method will be used to find the pattern in question. Using a minimum support value of 70% produces rules with 5 item sets, namely courses in logic and algorithms, system analysis, system design, web programming and software engineering. The pattern / rule produced can be a guide for students in choosing concentration.

Geoelectric resistivity method is one method that can be used to characterize water-bearing rock layers (aquifers). This method is based on the existence of differences in type resistivity in the layers of rock that are flowed electrically. The use of this method is based on easy application, faster data acquisition with broad data coverage (lateral and vertical), and lower costs. Data acquisition uses two configurations or electrode arrangement, namely sclumberger and wenner-schlumberger configurations. The number of trajectories for data acquisition uses one path with a total of 28 electrodes and the spacing between the electrodes is 20 meters. The data obtained in the form of data resistivity type of each underground layer and its depth will be further analyzed using AGISSAdmin software. The results are obtained in the form of a 2-dimensional (2D) cross-sectional value of underground layers laterally and vertically. The low resistivity value will be interpreted as a layer containing ground water, which was previously corrected against the geological and hydrological data of the area. From the cross section of the type resistors, values of 20 - 317 Ωm were obtained for the wenner and wenner-schlumberger arrangements. Selaru Village consists of two rocks unit, the first rock (≤ 120 Ohm.m) in the form of Tanjung Formation rocks, with large porosity and small permeability and groundwater potential in this unit is small (0 - 40 m depth). The second rock (≥ 120 Ohm.m) is Pre Tertiary, with very little porosity and permeability, except secondary porosity in rock fractures.

Mining excavator working equipment load forecasting according to a fuzzy-logistic model
Authors: Velikanov V.
Published: May 2020

Due to the fact that the loads occurring in the working equipment of mining excavators are determined by a large number of random factors that are difficult to represent by analytical formulas, for estimating and predicting loads the models must be introduced using non-standard approaches. In this study, we used the methodology of the theory of fuzzy logic and fuzzy pluralities, which allows to overcome the difficulties associated with the incompleteness and vagueness of the data in assessing and predicting the  forces encountered in the working equipment of mining excavators, as well as with the qualitative nature of these data.As a result of computer simulation in the fuzzyTECH environment, data comparable with experimental studies were obtained to determine the level of loading of the main elements of the working equipment of mining excavators. Based on a representative sample, a statistical analysis of the data was performed, as a result of which the equation of linear multiple stress regression in the handle of mining excavators was obtained, which allows to make an accurate forecast of the loading of the working equipment of the excavator.

Published: May 2020

The analysis of the existing systems of mechanical grippers of various operating principles and operating environments, in the design of which both soft and hard magnetic materials are executed. The characteristics of existing prototypes are shown and the results of our own research are presented.The article presents a study of the effect of the intermediate magnetic circuit length on the characteristics of magnetic gripper, the principle of which is based on the control of the field of a permanent magnet. The gripper based on this principle of action does not require constant energy expenditures to maintain both on and off states.The description of the magnetic gripper design and the design of the test bench is given, as well as the results of a series of experiments to determine the strength of the release of the gripper at different lengths of the magnetic circuit in the on and off states, followed by statistical processing of the data. The intervals of the ranges in which with a high degree of probability there will be a value of the gripping disengagement force for various lengths of the intermediate magnetic circuit are identified. The nature of the distribution of a random variable, which is the force of decoupling of the gripper, is determined. The dependences of the gripper decoupling force on the length of the intermediate magnetic circuit for each of the gripper states are constructed. It has been established that a decrease in the length of the intermediate magnetic circuit is the cause of a decrease in the gripping adhesion force. Plots of the dependence of the gripper decoupling force were constructed using the modes of the force values varieties to visually display the experimental results. The maximum adhesion force of magnetic pickup – 9.5 kg – was achieved with an intermediate magnetic core length of 50 mm, the minimum with a length of 25 mm – 5.6 kg.

Published: May 2020

O presente artigo trata do estudo do Direito de Laje, analisando sua aplicação ao tutelar os direitos propostos pelo novel dispositivo legal. O estudo demonstra que a questão sobrepõe-se a um problema de caráter registral e de regularização fundiária, antes, questões como saúde, educação e segurança pública precisariam ser tratadas. O objetivo geral desse estudo é analisar a tutela do direito Constitucional à moradia e ao Princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana. Para que tal objetivo seja atingido, buscaram-se referências doutrinárias, além da análise do texto legal, correlacionado com a realidade social do Brasil. Concluiu-se, que o Direito de Laje não atende os fins que se pretende a norma, porém, é inegável o avanço da legislação, normatizando uma dinâmica habitacional largamente utilizada no Brasil, até então sem viabilização legal.

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a atuação dos idosos no mercado de trabalho, diante do crescente aumento desse grupo etário na população brasileira. Para isso, são correlacionadas questões como o motivo pelo qual os idosos estão procurando se manter no seu trabalho, ou ainda, retornar para esse ambiente laboral, bem como observar se as políticas públicas e privadas, isto é, os incentivos, já vem sendo consolidados. Assim, o referencial teórico aborda os temas acerca dos mencionados itens. Para tanto, os tipos de pesquisas utilizados foram bibliográfica e documental, ao amparo de doutrinas, leis e textos de autores que relatam sobre o tema. Ainda assim, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo na cidade de Rio das Flores, Rio de Janeiro, tendo como método adotado uma entrevista pessoal realizada com uma idosa de 82 (oitenta e dois) anos, atuante no mercado de trabalho. Concluiu-se, desse modo, pela existência de um avanço em torno do tema discutido, mas também, pela necessidade de se observar, ainda mais, a importância dos idosos, que no futuro, representarão uma parte considerável da população brasileira.

PALAVRAS-CHAVES: IDOSO. DIGNIDADE DA PESSOA HUMANA. MERCADO DE TRABALHO. ATUAÇÃO. IMPORTÂNCIA.
O Desenho institucional do Conselho Municipal de Habitação de Juiz de Fora em um contexto de democracia deliberativa
Authors: Lopes de Almeida Marcos Felipe
Published: May 2020

O presente trabalho busca verificar as contribuições do Conselho Municipal de Habitação de Juiz de Fora para a concretização da democracia deliberativa. Referido modelo democrático foi proposto por Jürgen Habermas e se baseia na participação racional de cidadãos interessados. Então, procede-se à análise documental dos diplomas normativos que regulamentam o Conselho. A partir desses dados, traçam-se inferências com o intuito de identificar o desenho institucional do órgão colegiado, relacionando-o com a democracia deliberativa. Por fim, constata-se que o Conselho é um importante elemento para concretização desse paradigma, contudo há alguns elementos que bloqueiam a máxima efetividade do seu potencial deliberativo.

Published: May 2020

A partir do ideal de que profissionais recém-formados nas áreas de Gestão possam se revelar aptos a criarem e lançarem novos negócios, gerando trabalho e renda, este estudo consistiu em explorar e conhecer opiniões de 30 estudantes universitários de Administração, matriculados em uma faculdade particular, em Juiz de Fora (MG). Por meio das análises de conteúdo do que relataram em entrevistas, foi possível observar que, embora o estudo do Empreendedorismo seja indispensável para a formação de administradores, ainda se revela necessário promover maior credibilidade à alternativa de se desenvolver habilidades empreendedoras. Para tanto, é imprescindível propor métodos de aprendizagem com abordagens e práticas que se configuram além das tradicionais perspectivas adotadas no ensino de capacidades empreendedoras. Sugere-se, assim, ênfases sobre como os aprendizes percebem suas próprias competências e autoeficácia, bem como o que analisam das realizações de outros empreendedores. Infere-se tais proposições com base nas análises das respostas dos entrevistados que se apresentaram dispostos à ideia de empreenderem e aplicarem, num possível próprio negócio, os conhecimentos adquiridos na graduação (inclusive alguns cogitam se tornarem consultores na área de Gestão). Com isso, a realização desta pesquisa viabilizou levantar novos questionamentos sobre como melhor estimular futuros administradores a considerarem a proposta de projeções às carreiras empreendedoras.
Curcumin inhibits proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells through down regulation of DJ-1
Authors: Han Lina , Wang Yu , Sun Shulun
Published: May 2020

PTEN exerts tumor suppressor role through inhibiting PI3K/AKT signaling. DJ-1 plays an oncogenic role through negatively regulation of PTEN expression. Curcumin (Cur) is a phenolic compound extracted from a variety of plant roots, with multiple anti-tumor pharmacological effects. This study aims to investigate whether Cur plays a role in the regulation of DJ-1-PENT/PI3K/AKT signaling as well as the proliferation and apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Normal human hepatocyte HL-7702 and hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines SMMC-7721 and HepG2 were cultured followed by analysis of the expression of DJ-1 and PTEN. SMMC-7721 and HepG2 cells were treated with different concentrations of Cur (0, 5, 10 μM) followed by measuring cell proliferation by CCK-8, caspase-3 activity as well as DJ-1 expression by western blot. In addition, SMMC-7721 or HepG2 cells were divided into two groups: Cur+pcDNA3.1-Blank and Cur+pcDNA3.1-DJ-1 for analysis of the expression of DJ-1, PTEN and p-AKT, cell apoptosis and proliferation. Compared with HL-7702, SMMC-7721 and HepG2 cells displayed significantly higher DJ-1 expression and lower PTEN expression. Cur treatment significantly inhibited proliferation of SMMC-7721 and HepG2 cells, increased caspase-3 activity and downregulated DJ-1 expression. Transfection of pcDNA3.1-DJ-1 significantly increased DJ-1 and p-AKT expression, promoted cell proliferation, but decreased PTEN expression and cell apoptosis. In conclusion, Cur inhibits proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells and PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway via the reduction of DJ-1 expression, which provides new insights to the anticancer effects of curcumin in hepatocellular carcinoma.

The supply chain management philosophy has often been used by organizations to achieve a competitive advantage, but this has led to increased vulnerability of these supply chains (SC) to certain risks. This paper proposes a supply chain risk evaluation model based on the analysis of existing risk evaluation systems. This paper accomplishes the following goals. First, it integrates key indicators to compensate for the shortcomings of traditional risk indices. Second, the proposed model also measures the risk of a company’s supply chain effectively. We propose a subjective group preference weight allocation algorithm for a comprehensive evaluation. The simulation experiment shows that the proposed model can measure quantitative and qualitative indices in the supply chain effectively.
Fuzzy-inspired decision making for dependability recommendation in e-commerce industry

Published: May 2020

Recommender System has become one of the most effective tools for provisioning user-interest based decision-making services. With its capability to generate efficient recommendations, users are directed towards items that are optimal with compliance to their needs, and preferences. Inspired from these aspects, this paper presents a novel recommendation technique based on context-specific information and social network analysis for determining dependable items. Context specific information provides a quantifiable measure of user interest for dependability whereas social network analysis determines the degree of similarity among other users. Both types of information are acquired and analyzed in the form of linguistic terms. This fuzzy-based quantification provides an effective way to evaluate social-ratings and social-similarity. For validation, it is evaluated in the on-line mobile purchase scenario. Based on the numerous simulations performed on different data sets, performance estimators in the form of Temporal Delay, Statistical Analysis and System Stability are estimated. It is concluded that the proposed mechanism of recommendation is effective and efficient in comparison to state-of-the-art recommender systems.
Nonlinear system modeling using the takagi-sugeno fuzzy model and long-short term memory cells
Authors: Yu Wen , Vega Francisco
Published: May 2020

The data driven black-box or gray-box models like neural networks and fuzzy systems have some disadvantages, such as the high and uncertain dimensions and complex learning process. In this paper, we combine the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model with long-short term memory cells to overcome these disadvantages. This novel model takes the advantages of the interpretability of the fuzzy system and the good approximation ability of the long-short term memory cell. We propose a fast and stable learning algorithm for this model. Comparisons with others similar black-box and grey-box models are made, in order to observe the advantages of the proposal.
