The Key Resolver of Immune Tolerance: The Role of the PD-1/PD-L1 Signaling Pathway in Physiological and Pathological Pregnancy
Authors: Kendirci Remziye , Katirci Katirci and Ertan , Sati Leyla
Published: May 2024

Objective: The PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway contributes to the modulation of the immune system and the maintenance of peripheral immune tolerance. PD-1 and PD-L1 are expressed by various cell types, from T cells to trophoblast cells.
The signaling pathway is responsible for the maintenance of fetomaternal tolerance and the balance between Treg and Th17 cells during pregnancy by regulating the interactions between decidual stromal cells, trophoblast cells, macrophages,
and lymphocytes in the decidua. Despite limited studies in recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway has been shown to have potential importance in immune dysregulation. Therefore, the current review focuses
on the effects of the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway on both physiological and pathological pregnancies including preeclampsia (PE) and RPL, and its potential usage as a promising therapeutic target. Materials and Methods: A literature
search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus to select studies with the keywords: PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway, pregnancy immunology, immune tolerance in pregnancy, PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway and PE, PD-1/PD-L1
signaling pathway, and RPL. Papers published before January 2024 were selected. Drawing on advances in laboratory science and preclinical medicine, we performed a narrative review of the scientific literature to provide an update
on the role of the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway in the immunological response during pregnancy. Findings and Results: The complexity of the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway during pregnancy and its effects on immunological balance
seems to have the potential to open new doors in the development of targeted treatment methods and in understanding reproductive health outcomes.

Snappers (Lutjanus spp.) are the most common reef fish caught in Taka Bonerate National Park due to its high economic value and primarily targeted species. Without proper management measures, intensive fishing activities might result in unsustainable fish stocks.  Therefore, in order to maintain sustainable utilization, it is important to understand the stock status of snapper fisheries. This study aimed to analyze the snappers' stock status in Taka Bonerate National Park's waters. Data were collected from January to December 2022 at three small-scale fisheries landing sites. The results showed that snappers are classified as slow-growing species with growth rates for species L. bohar, L. quinquelineatus, L. gibbus respectively 0,12, 0,39, and 0,35 per year to reach their respective asymptotic lengths of 83,41 cm, 29,5 cm, and 46,80 cm. The stock status of L. gibbus and L. bohar were indicated at overfished status where the exploitation rate (E) was > 0.5 and the SPR was < 0.3,  hence a proper management measures is required. Furthermore, the species of L. quinquelineatus has a value of E is 0.5 and SPR is at 0.3, indicating that the utilization level of this species was at an optimal level.

Before fishing surveillance is one of the important surveillances at fishing ports. A case study at PPS Nizam Zachman Jakarta (PPSNZJ) stated that 22.75% of purse seiners use fishing gear and equipment following did not comply with fishing business license (SLO). This research aims to identify potential violations of fishing vessels at before fishing stage after the SLO was issued and the factors that cause these violations to produce a conceptual model for preventing potential violations of fishing fleets. Primary data were collected using open interview. The secondary data were collected from annual report of the Pangkalan PSDKP Jakarta and PPSNZJ fishing port, and previous studies. This research was approached using 4 stages of a soft system methodology (SSM) approach namely identifying unstructured problems, structuring problems, formulating root definitions, and formulating conceptual models. The results of research show that there are six problems in activities before fishing after the SLO was issued. Based on the SSM approach, issuing supervisory regulations after the SLO was required to prevent illegal addition of fishing gear and fishing equipment. This is due to the absence of supervision after the SLO was issued by fisheries inspectors.

Saccharum officinarum L. has a high amount of silica content, which can be used as the main component of zeolite synthesis. Silica was isolated from Saccharum officinarum L. bagasse with NaOH and HCl. This research aims to synthesize zeolite using silica from Saccharum officinarum L. with black stem and alumina from aluminium foil. The Saccharum officinarum L. used in this research was sourced from Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Silica was sourced from Saccharum officinarum L. using the sol-gel method. The silica from the isolation of dregs ash obtained 20 g of silica with a high percentage (yield) of 50%. This study found that 5.29 g of aluminium foil produced 14.29 g of alumina with the addition of 22.50 g of Na2CO3. The zeolite obtained was 3.88 g with a SiO2:Al2O3 ratio of 5:3. From this study, the percent (%) of obtained zeolite was 48.5% from the weight of the silica and alumina produced. The zeolite results synthesized from Saccharum officinarum L.  ash were characterized using FTIR. Based on the FTIR results, absorption was found at wave numbers (cm-1) 960, 729, and 668. The zeolite obtained was pure white and had a FTIR spectrum similar to that of Zeolite X from previous research. It can be predicted that the zeolite obtained from this research has been formed. This research is expected to be useful in increasing the effectiveness of the silica extraction process from Saccharum officinarum L. with black stem. Further analysis using XRD and SEM is needed to determine the characteristics of the zeolite produced.

Published: May 2024

Facing the challenges of the 21st century, learning must be able to produce learners into creative individuals to solve problems. The ability to think creatively is closely related to a person's character or creative habits; good character can trigger good skills. This study aims to determine how applying the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model improves students' creative disposition and creative thinking skills. The method in the form of Quasi-Experimental Design uses Pre-test and post-test control Group Design on as many as 64 X students at one of Aikmel State High Schools, NTB. The 32-person experimental class used the CTL model of the guided inquiry method, and the 32-person control class of the discussion method. Data on students' creative dispositions were collected using creative disposition questionnaires given before and after good treatment in both groups. Data on students' creative thinking skills were collected with a creative thinking skills test developed referring to the Torrance Creative test. The data were obtained and analyzed using the t-test to determine the comparison of the two classes and the N-gain test to see the improvement in each class. The results showed significant differences in creative disposition and creative thinking skills between the experimental class and the control class. Increased creative disposition in the experimental class with an N-gain of 0.45 means an increase in the medium category and an N-gain of 0.08 in the control class, which means an increase in the low category. Meanwhile, the creative thinking skills of experimental class students amounted to an N-gain of 0.48, which means there was an increase in the medium category, and an N-gain of 0.05 in the control class, which means there was an increase in low theory. This study concludes that applying the CTL model can improve creative disposition and thinking skills.

Non-invasive Serological Markers of Hepatic Fibrosis – Mini Review
Authors: Elena Popa , Raluca Ioana Avram , Andrei Emilian Popa , Adorata Elena Coman
Published: May 2024

Aim: This study examines the pathological outcomes of chronic liver injuries, with a focus on liver fibrosis. It emphasizes understanding the structural changes within the liver that may lead to cirrhosis and functional impairments, crucial for developing targeted antifibrotic therapies. Methods: Our approach reviews existing literature detailing the use of traditional diagnostic methods—biochemical and serological tests alongside liver biopsies. Additionally, we evaluate the reliability and efficacy of non-invasive techniques such as serological test panels and imaging examinations. These methods are compared to understand their viability as supplementary or alternative diagnostic tools to liver biopsy. Significance: Liver fibrosis, if unmanaged, can progress to severe conditions such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, making it vital to understand its progression and treatment options. This study underscores the need for precise and non-invasive diagnostic tools in the clinical management of liver fibrosis, providing insight into the progression of chronic liver diseases and potential therapeutic targets. Conclusion and future perspectives: The research confirms that while liver biopsy remains the definitive method for staging liver fibrosis, its risks and limitations necessitate the use of enhanced non-invasive diagnostic techniques. These methods have shown promising results in accuracy and are critical for broadening clinical applications and patient safety. It is recommended that the scientific community continue to develop and validate non-invasive diagnostic tools. Enhancing the accuracy and reliability of these tools can provide a cost-effective, accessible, and safer alternative for large-scale screening and management of liver fibrosis in asymptomatic populations. Additionally, integrating advancements in radiologic and serological markers can further refine these diagnostic methods, improving overall patient outcomes.
TRADICIONALISMO CATÓLICO NO NORTE FLUMINENSE
Authors: Dos Santos Júnior Paulo Jonas , Caetano Figueira Pedro Henrique
Published: May 2024

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar as bases que sustentam o pensamento tradicionalista católico no norte fluminense. Esse assunto é de suma importância, uma vez que em período pandêmico o embate entre o pensamento progressista e o tradicionalista, aflorou. O tradicionalismo católico em Campos dos Goytacazes, em muitos aspectos se assemelha com a base teológica que oferece apoio popular ao atual governo do Presidente Jair Messias Bolsonaro. Para a discussão teórica, o trabalho se ancorou nos postulados de Rifan (2014), Mayer (1971), Sölle (1970), Py (2020), dentre outros. Essa análise demonstrou que o discurso e a prática dos grupos tradicionalistas de Campos dos Goytacazes pode se aproximar dos ideais propagados por grupos católicos ultraconservadores. Igualmente, o artigo realizou análises da história e do pensamento de Dom Antônio de Castro Mayer, um importante bispo tradicionalista que liderou o catolicismo campista no período entre 1941 e 1981

Em tese, o princípio que rege a atitude das Testemunhas para com a Igreja Católica é o seguinte:
Diz-se freqüentemente que as testemunhas de Jeová são contra os católicos, protestantes, judeus, etc. É falso. Não são contra ninguém pelo fato de serem católicos, protestantes ou judeus. Não são contra ninguém por causa de sua religião. As testemunhas de Jeová amam a todo o povo de boa vontade sem consideração de raça, credo, côr ou nacionalidade. Mostram o seu amor por oferecer imparcialmente, de casa em casa, a mensagem verdadeira sôbre o caminho à vida eterna sob o reino de Deus. O apóstolo declara ser esta a maneira de incitar outros ao amor. — Hebreus 10: 24, 25...

Sustainable forest management is linked to stakeholder involvement, openness, accountability of decision-makers, adherence to the rule of law, predictability, efficient and effective management of natural resources. It is essential in accomplishing the goal of good governance. This study was conducted to evaluate the involvement of the forest-dependent people in the management of the Akure forest Reserve in Ondo state, Nigeria. Two-hundred structured questionnaires were distributed to respondents in four specifically chosen communities out of the twelve communities bordering the Reserve. A total of fifty structured questionnaires were distributed to respondents in each of the four chosen localities. Data were examined using descriptive statistics and chi-square analysis. The results revealed that the majority of the community's population consists of males (72.5%) and individuals aged 43 and above (38.5%), followed by individuals aged 31-36, accounting for 28.0% of the population. The majority of the residents (40.5%) visit the reserve on a daily basis, while thirty percent (30%) visit weekly to collect firewood and for agricultural production. The level of participation of community dwellers in Forest Management and Conservation is significantly influenced by their age (χ²= 9.456, df = 6, p = 0.024), marital status (χ² = 11.873, df = 2, p = 0.003), and occupation (χ²= 44.237, df = 4, p = 0.000). The primary endeavours undertaken by the inhabitants of the reserve are agricultural in nature. Age, household size, marital status and monthly income were the primary factors influencing their decision not to participate in forest governance in the Reserve

Published: May 2024

The biogas production potentials of palm oil mill effluent (POME) and cow manure (CM) substrates were evaluated using anaerobic digester. The first two digesters (D1 and D2) were charged with POME and CM for mono-digestion respectively. However, co-substrates digestion was done in digesters D3 (60/40 % POME-CM), D4 (70/30 % POME-CM), and D5 (80/20 % POME-CM) and all the digestion lasted for 21 days. The biogas yield of the digesters and performance of the digestions were measured by the analysis of moisture content, pH, total suspended solids (TSS), total solids (TS), volatile solid (VS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total organic carbon (TOC) using standard analytical methods. The results showed that D4 (70/30 % POME-CM) has the highest biogas yield (1875±0.11 mL) while D2 (100 % CM) gave the lowest biogas yield (443±0.15 mL). The BOD of D3, D4 and D5 were not detected. The concentrations of COD, TS, TSS and TOC showed a significant (p<0.05) decrease in D1, D3, D4 and D5 compared to D2. While D2, D3, D4 and D5 showed a significant (p<0.05) decrease in moisture content compared to D1. However, D1, D3, D4 and D5 showed increasing level of alkalinity compared to acidic level of D2. Therefore, this study suggests that co-substrates anaerobic digestion of palm oil mill effluent and CM are suitable for biogas production.
