Published: March 2023

About the possibility of time traveling based on several specialized works, including those of Nicholas J. J. Smith ("Time Travel"), William Grey (”Troubles with Time Travel”), Ulrich Meyer (”Explaining causal loops”), Simon Keller and Michael Nelson (”Presentists should believe in time-travel”), Frank Arntzenius and Tim Maudlin ("Time Travel and Modern Physics"), and David Lewis (“The Paradoxes of Time Travel”). The article begins with an Introduction in which I make a short presentation of the time travel, and continues with a History of the concept of time travel, main physical aspects of time travel, including backward time travel in the past in general relativity and quantum physics, and time travel in the future, then a presentation of the Grandfather paradox that is approached in almost all specialized works, followed by a section dedicated to the Philosophy of time travel, and a section in which I analyze Causal loops for time travel. I finish my work with Conclusions, in which I sustain my personal opinions on the time travel, and the Bibliography on which the work is based.

This research paper explores the difficulties in translating English idiomatic expressions into the Russian language. Idiomatic expressions are commonly used in everyday communication, but their meanings may not be easily inferred from their literal translations. This study analyzes the strategies used by translators to convey the intended meaning of idiomatic expressions in the target language. The research methodology involves a comparative analysis of different translations of English idiomatic expressions into Russian, focusing on the nuances and subtleties of meaning that may be lost in translation. The analysis is based on a corpus of authentic texts, including literary works, news articles, and online content, which contain a wide range of English idiomatic expressions. The study aims to identify the main challenges that translators face when translating idiomatic expressions from English into Russian, such as cultural differences, idiomatic equivalences, and the preservation of the figurative language. Additionally, the research examines the impact of context on the translation of idiomatic expressions, as well as the role of translation theory in addressing the challenges of idiomatic translation. Overall, the research paper contributes to the understanding of the complexities of idiomatic translation, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive approach that takes into account linguistic, cultural, and contextual factors.

Pengajaran Paulus Tentang Hidup Benar dalam Kristus sebagai Dasar Tanggungjawab Melayani berdasarkan Galatia 5:1-15
Authors: Nauman Jefry Anugrah , Dwikaryanto Matius I Totok , Kristoadji Alam Purwoko
Published: March 2023

The understanding of Righteous Living in Christ towards the responsibilities of God's servants in serving needs to be taught continuously to God's servants. The attitude of not carrying out responsibilities, and not helping others, shows a lack of concern, it is possible that God's servants do not understand how to live rightly with their responsibilities to serve. For this reason, the author describes Paul's teaching about righteous living as the goal in this article. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach, it can be concluded that the form of love for God is proven by maintaining God's laws, namely those contained in Galatians 5:1-15 in actualizing a devoted service to Him. God has set an example of loving humans with a love that demands nothing in return. Because of God's great love, humans should respond to God who first gave His love through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. In order to increase love for God, the action that needs to be taken is to study and investigate God's word, while praying and realizing the truth of the word in daily life. In the life of God's servants, loving others can be done by reprimanding each other if they make mistakes.AbstrakPemahaman tentang Hidup benar di dalam Kristus terhadap tanggung jawab pelayan Tuhan dalam melayani perlu untuk diajarkan secara terus menerus kepada pelayan Tuhan. Sikap tidak melaksanakan tanggung jawab, dan tidak membantu orang lain, menunjukkan kurangnya kepedulian, ada kemungkinan bahwa pelayan Tuhan belum mengerti bagaimana hidup benar terhadap tanggung jawab melayani. Untuk itu penulis mendeskripsikan Pengajaran Paulus tentang hidup benar sebagai tujuan dalam artikel ini. Mengunakan metode kualitatif deskritif dengan pendekatan studi literature maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa Bentuk kasih kepada Allah dibuktikan dengan memelihara hukum-hukum Allah yaitu yang terdapa dalam Galatia 5: 1-15 dalam mengaktualisasikan pelayanan yang berbakti kepada-Nya. Allah telah memberikan teladan mengasihi manusia dengan kasih yang tidak menuntut imbalan. Karena kasih Allah yang besar, maka sudah seharusnya manusia meresponi Allah yang terlebih dahulu memberikan kasih-Nya melalui pengorbanan Yesus Kristus. Supaya kasih kepada Allah semakin bertambah-tambah, maka tindakan yang perlu dilakukan adalah mempelajari dan menyelidiki firman Tuhan, sambil berdoa serta merealisasikan kebenaran firman tersebut dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Dalam kehidupan pelayan Tuhan mengasihi sesama dapat dilakukan dengan sikap saling menegur satu sama lain jika melakukan kesalahan.

Theologically free will is God's gift to humans to be distinguished from other creatures. In human free will to be the noblest creation that should be grateful. Humans receive free will from God since he was born but that free will is for the purpose of glorifying God. Man is responsible to God with the freedom inherent in him, if man uses his freedom wrongly he falls into sin. In all things God gives freedom for humans to do something and make their own choices, as long as those choices do not come out of God's law. Man needs to be aware of who he is before God if he is not given freedom.

Measurement of the electrical quantities of the wet scrubber

Published: March 2023

With the aim of reducing environmental, energy and quality problems in the field of farming of animal species, laboratory for agricultural technique in animal husbandry, Department of Agricultural Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Novi Sad, integrally develops a system for wet air purification, wet scrubber, and its energy control. The goal of electrical measurements in a wet scrubber is to determine instantaneous and interval-accurate values of electrical quantities, defined by physical methods. Devices for electrical measurements give precise values of basic electrical quantities: current, electromotive force, voltage, impedance, electrical work, power, and energy. Simple periodic voltages and currents are crucial for wet scrubber drive elements. They are determined by three quantities: amplitude, frequency, and phase. The paper presents the basic patterns for the measured values of wet scrubber drive elements: AC operation, AC power, AC power with active resistances in the circuit and AC power with impedance in the electric circuit. The presence of many drive elements for partial operational actions in a wet scrubber is the basic reason for choosing a central atomizer, as the object of methodologically original energy analysis of this work.
International jurisdiction in disputes over infringiment of personality rights on the internet: Serbian and EU Law
Authors: Đundić Petar
Published: March 2023

Invention and wide-spread use of the internet pose particular challenges for Private International Law. Ubiquitous nature of content placed online, the fact that internet-users are able to create the content themselves and the absence of any meaningful geographic connection between transactions conducted online and a territory of any given country are factors which are, on the one hand, increasing the number of cases with cross-border implications while, as the same time, rendering the use of traditional rules of jurisdiction and choice of law increasingly difficult. This is particularly the case with cross-border infringements of personality rights via the internet. The paper discusses the issue of jurisdiction for this particular category of internet-torts. Based on the analysis of the case law created by the Court of Justice of the European Union and the practice of courts in certain national jurisdictions, the author concludes that a reasonable and purposeful interpretation of the notion "place of damage" as a criterion of special jurisdiction for torts used in Article 53(1) of the Serbian Private International Law Code, entails that for the acceptance of jurisdiction by Serbian courts it is not enough that the relevant content is accessible from the territory of Serbia. It is also necessary that a victim's habitual residence or main place of business is in Serbia. Such interpretation allows Serbian courts to accept jurisdiction in circumstances in which there is a real and meaningful connection of a dispute with Serbia, provides the plaintiff with efficient legal protection of his rights and guarantees the defendant a reasonable opportunity to foresee a competent forum.

Terra diatomácea melhora as características agronômicas e induz resistência a artrópodes-praga em physalis?
Authors: Melo Elias Silva , Assis Franscinely Aparecida de , Carvalho Fabio Janoni , Assis Gleice Aparecida de , Rodrigues Filipe Almendagna
Published: March 2023

Physalis peruviana (Solanaceae) é uma frutífera exótica ainda pouco cultivada no Brasil quando comparada a outras espécies. Em função disso, informações relacionadas ao manejo que possam contribuir para o desenvolvimento da cultura e controle de pragas são escassas. Assim, objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar os efeitos da pulverização da terra diatomácea (TD) nos parâmetros fitotécnicos da cultura e de qualidade dos frutos, bem como na resistência induzida a artrópodes-praga em P. peruviana.  O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, com cinco tratamentos, que se referem as concentrações de TD (T1 - 0 g L-1; T2 - 1 g L-1; T3 - 3 g L-1; T4 - 6 g L-1 e T5 - 9 g L-1) e oito blocos. Foram avaliadas características fitotécnicas da cultura e de qualidade (sólidos solúveis) dos frutos, bem como a indução de resistência mediante avaliação da incidência dos artrópodes-praga. Não houve diferença significativa entre as concentrações de TD para as variáveis fitotécnicas, de qualidade e aquelas relacionadas à preferência alimentar dos insetos herbívoros (número e porcentagem de folhas com orifícios). Contudo, as plantas tratadas com TD foram menos preferidas para oviposição por Bemisia tabaci e Lema bilineata, sendo registrado também menor número de adultos da mosca-branca e de larvas e adultos de L. bilineata. Dessa forma, conclui-se que a TD não apresenta efeito nos parâmetros fitotécnicos e de qualidade da physalis, mas induz resistência contra artrópodes-praga como B. tabaci e L. bilineata.

Published: March 2023

High-throughput transgenesis using synthetic DNA libraries is a powerful method for systematically exploring genetic function. Diverse synthesized libraries have been used for protein engineering, identification of protein-protein interactions, characterization of promoter libraries, developmental and evolutionary lineage tracking, and various other exploratory assays. However, the need for library transgenesis has effectively restricted these approaches to single-cell models. Here we present Transgenic Arrays Resulting in Diversity of Integrated Sequences (TARDIS), a simple yet powerful approach to large-scale transgenesis that overcomes typical limitations encountered in multicellular systems. TARDIS splits the transgenesis process into a two-step process: creation of individuals carrying experimentally introduced sequence libraries, followed by inducible extraction and integration of individual sequences/library components from the larger library cassette into engineered genomic sites. Thus, transformation of a single individual, followed by lineage expansion and functional transgenesis, gives rise to thousands of genetically unique transgenic individuals. We demonstrate the power of this system using engineered, split selectable TARDIS sites in
Caenorhabditis elegans
to generate (1) a large set of individually barcoded lineages and (2) transcriptional reporter lines from pre-defined promoter libraries. We find that this approach increases transformation yields up to approximately 1000-fold over current single-step methods. While we demonstrate the utility of TARDIS using
C. elegans
, the process is adaptable to any system where experimentally generated genomic loci landing pads and diverse, heritable DNA elements can be generated.

Apicomplexan parasites use Ca 2+ -regulated exocytosis to secrete essential virulence factors from specialized organelles called micronemes. Ca 2+ -dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) are required for microneme exocytosis; however, the molecular events that regulate trafficking and fusion of micronemes with the plasma membrane remain unresolved. Here, we combine sub-minute resolution phosphoproteomics and bio-orthogonal labeling of kinase substrates in Toxoplasma gondii to identify 163 proteins phosphorylated in a CDPK1-dependent manner. In addition to known regulators of secretion, we identify uncharacterized targets with predicted functions across signaling, gene expression, trafficking, metabolism, and ion homeostasis. One of the CDPK1 targets is a putative HOOK activating adaptor. In other eukaryotes, HOOK homologs form the FHF complex with FTS and FHIP to activate dynein-mediated trafficking of endosomes along microtubules. We show the FHF complex is partially conserved in T. gondii , consisting of HOOK, an FTS homolog, and two parasite-specific proteins (TGGT1_306920 and TGGT1_316650). CDPK1 kinase activity and HOOK are required for the rapid apical trafficking of micronemes as parasites initiate motility. Moreover, parasites lacking HOOK or FTS display impaired microneme protein secretion, leading to a block in the invasion of host cells. Taken together, our work provides a comprehensive catalog of CDPK1 targets and reveals how vesicular trafficking has been tuned to support a parasitic lifestyle.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the components recognized for its potential to transform the way we live today radically. It makes it possible for machines to learn from experience, adjust to new contributions and perform tasks like human beings. The business field is the focus of this research. This article proposes implementing an incident classification model using machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP). The application is for the technical support area in a software development company that currently resolves customer requests manually. Through ML and NLP techniques applied to company data, it is possible to know the category of a request given by the client. It increases customer satisfaction by reviewing historical records to analyze their behavior and correctly provide the expected solution to the incidents presented. Also, this practice would reduce the cost and time spent on relationship management with the potential consumer. This work evaluates different Machine Learning models, such as support vector machine (SVM), Extra Trees, and Random Forest. The SVM algorithm demonstrates the highest accuracy of 98.97% with class balance, hyper-parameter optimization, and pre-processing techniques.

Background: Metabolic conditions such as Type2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity have become worldwide public health important. Numerous evidences indicate that gut Proteobacteria and Bacteriodetes are associated with these co-morbidities. Thus, the gut microbiota serves as a promising target for prognosis of metabolic disorders. The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of gut Proteobacteria and Bacteriodetes on obese related Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The gut microbiota signature of 10 adults was studied using 16S rRNA sequencing targeting V3–V4 hypervariable regions and obtained data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS version 26). Result: The Pearson correlation analysis showed that phyla Bacteriodetes was significant positive when correlated with Body mass index (BMI) (r = 0.666, p = 0.002*), followed by phyla proteobacteria (r = 0.464, p = 0.045*), Firmicutes versus BMI (p>0.05), Actinobacteria versus BMI (p>0.05), while Firmicutes versus Glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c) (p>0.05), Bacteriodetes versus HbA1c (p>0.05), Proteobacteria versus HbA1c (p>0.05), Actinobacteria versus HbA1c (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The study revealed the abundance of phyla Proteobacteria and phyla Bacteriodetes were significantly associated with obese related type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although, these Phyla/ taxa showed no significant correlation with Hb1Ac in obese related type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Importance

Cholesteatoma in the middle ear is not regarded as a hereditary disease, but case reports of familial clustering exist in the literature, as well as observed familial cases in the clinical work. However, the knowledge regarding cholesteatoma as a hereditary disease is lacking in the literature.

Objective

To assess the risk of cholesteatoma in individuals with a first-degree relative surgically treated for the same disease.

Design, Setting, and Participants

In this nested case-control study in the Swedish population between 1987 and 2018 of first-time cholesteatoma surgery identified from the Swedish National Patient Register, 2 controls per case were randomly selected from the population register through incidence density sampling, and all first-degree relatives for cases and controls were identified. Data were received in April 2022, and analyses were conducted between April and September 2022.

Exposure

Cholesteatoma surgery in a first-degree relative.

Main Outcomes and Measures

The main outcome was first-time cholesteatoma surgery. The association between having a first-degree relative with cholesteatoma and the risk of cholesteatoma surgery in the index persons was estimated by odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs through conditional logistic regression analysis.

Results

Between 1987 and 2018, 10 618 individuals with a first-time cholesteatoma surgery (mean [SD] age at surgery, 35.6 [21.5] years; 6302 [59.4%] men) were identified in the Swedish National Patient Register. The risk of having a cholesteatoma surgery was almost 4 times higher in individuals having a first-degree relative surgically treated for the disease (OR, 3.9; 95% CI, 3.1-4.8), but few cases were exposed overall. Among the 10 105 cases with at least 1 control included in the main analysis, 227 (2.2%) had at least 1 first-degree relative treated for cholesteatoma, while the corresponding numbers for controls were 118 of 19 553 control patients (0.6%). The association was stronger for individuals under the age of 20 years at first surgery (OR, 5.2; 95% CI, 3.6-7.6) and for a surgery involving the atticus and/or mastoid region (OR, 4.8; 95% CI, 3.4-6.2). There was no difference in the prevalence of having a partner with cholesteatoma between cases and controls (10 cases [0.3%] and 16 controls [0.3%]; OR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.41-2.05), which implies that increased awareness does not explain the association.

Conclusions and Relevance

In this Swedish case-control study using nationwide register data with high coverage and completeness, the findings suggest that the risk of cholesteatoma in the middle ear is strongly associated with a family history of the condition. Family history was nevertheless quite rare and can therefore only explain a limited number of all cases; these families could be an important source for information regarding the genetic background for cholesteatoma disease.
