Prostate cancer (PC) is a deadly oncological disease spread all around the world among elderly men. Existing methods of analysis or detection of traditional biomarkers has proven to be expensive and in some cases less precise. That is why in recent years polyamines are studying as potential PC biomarkers. On the other hand biosensors have already proven themselves as precise and sensitive methods that can be used diagnostics, namely in detection of polyamines. Therefore, the aim of this research was to develop a new type of transducer for SPR biosensor based on use of colloidal gold and compare it with conventional antibody-antigen transducer to detect spermine as prostate cancer biomarker. The analysis was made with help of two biosensing devices Plasmontest and SPR-6 which were used detect spermine in range from 0.5 to 1000 nM During the research it was investigated that transducer treated with colloidal have higher sensivity to spermine comparing with antibody-treated transducer. It was observed that range of detected spermine concentration varies from 0.5 to 1000 nM and oplimum located in range 10-500 nM. This article presents data related to the development of the modern sensitive biosensor capable of detecting spermine as a potential marker of prostate cancer.

Multiple Risk Factors Precipitate Smoking Relapse: a Demonstration Using a Rat Model of Nicotine Addiction
Authors:   Department of Pathology, University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson, Mississippi, USA, Gharib Maysa
Published: May 2023

Relapse to drug addiction behavior in abstinent subjects could be attributable to re-exposure to relevant environments (i.e., environmental cues), drug priming, and stressful life events. In particular, it is common for the abstinent subjects to be imposed with more than one risk factors at any social circumstance. Using a rat model of nicotine addiction, we demonstrated the behavioral effect of exposure to a combination of risk factors on relapse to nicotine-seeking behavior. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were trained to press a level to intravenously self-administer nicotine at a unit dose of 0.03 mg/kg/infusion. In the daily 60-min session, an auditory/visual stimulus was paired with each nicotine infusion so that the stimulus become a nicotine-conditioned cue. After the administration responses were extinguished without nicotine infusion, the reinstatement tests were conducted under five conditions: cue representation, nicotine priming, stress, cue/priming, and cue/stress. The results showed that nicotine priming, pharmacological stressor and re-presentation of the cue respectively reinstated lever responses. The combined presentation of these factors seemed to produce stronger effect. These laboratory findings confirmed the motivational effect of re-exposure to nicotine-associated environmental cues, nicotine priming and confrontation with stressful life events in abstinent smokers. This work would support for behavioral management, in addition to medications, to eliminate exposure to these risk factors.

THE UNDERSTANDING OF DEATH IN SABAHATTIN ALI'S POEMS
Authors: Hamli MUARICH Ammar
Published: May 2023

Sabah al-Din Ali is considered one of the most important writers of Turkish literature in the twentieth century. Although he wrote important works in many fields such as novels and stories; yet, he wrote some very important poems in Turkish literature. Sabah al-Din Ali was born on 25th of February, 1907 in the city of Egridra, in the province of Adirnah in western Turkey. His family was wealthy and he was a government employee. He died on the 2nd of April, 1948, at the age of 41 leaving many original works. He was a victim of a murder crime on the Turkish-Bulgarian border by a person named Ali Artkin, his body was found and identified at a later time. But the place of burial is unknown. Sabah al-Din Ali is the author of very important works of Turkish literature, such as "Madonna in a Fur Coat", "Sirca Koşek", "The Devil Within and Koyu Teshkli Yusuf", which are well known and adopted by the entire Turkish society. Sabah Al-Din Ali has a poetic identity and personality. All of his poems are very simple, understandable, amazing, shocking and comprehensive. He is considered an easy-to-understand poet and at the same time difficult to understand. His poems are so few that they can be collected in a book of 150 pages. Although he did not write volumes of poems, his poems reflect the simplicity of Turkish poetry. He used, very effectively, the syllabic meter, which is the national poetic unit of the Turks. In his introduction, his poems deal with issues such as pain, grief, death, and separation, and similarly, many poems have been written. As we know, death is a surrender of one’s soul, and as a result, the body is no more able to perform its functions. The body decomposes after death. The journey which starts with death differs according to beliefs. Whether there is life after death has been debated throughout human history, as a result there is no position to confirm or falsify this idea. Although the body decomposes, the artifacts left by the person remain alive and from this we can conclude that death has many dimensions. Throughout history scientists, poets and thinkers have expressed their opinions about this issue and contributed to the examination of death from many aspects. Poets, in particular have done this. In fact, due to the nature of poetry, spirituality comes at the forefront. Although death is material, its effects and depth are spiritual. Sabah al-Din Ali is one of the poets who touched upon this poetic aspect in many poems. This paper starts with this comprehensive abstract, then the poet's personal and literary life are handled. The concept of death will be treated with reference to the poet poems..
TRAVEL LITERATURE AND ITS ROLE IN LINKING THE HISTORICAL AND INTELLECTUAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE EAST AND THE MAGHREB: THE JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD HAJJI BOUCHAARA AS A MODEL
Authors: ABOULAID Kaoutar
Published: May 2023

Historical knowledge is a human one consisting of multiple sources and stripes that carries with it diverse and abundant information that concerns a specific period of history for a nation. The trip is considered an essential source of this historical knowledge, as it relies on direct awareness of events and it is not satisfied with transmission and hearing only, which makes it a living testimony to historical facts that may not be included in the history books themselves. It is worth mentioning that the history of Morocco has not been without a book about the journey through the ages, which highlights the interest of Moroccans in this literature to the extent that it has become one of the characteristics of the Moroccan literature, so that Professor Mohamed El Fassi believes that “the most important thing with which Morocco participated in building the edifice of general Arab culture And with juris prudence research, the art of the journey”. The Moroccans have achieved the best luck in this field. Indeed, we can say with confidence and reassurance that the Moroccans have excelled and gained the advantage of being a pioneer and leader in the field of travel. If the historical sources have recorded the names of a large number of Moroccan travellers who roamed the horizons, there are those whom we do not find mentioned , so it can be imagined that a large number of Moroccan trips have been lost or are still hidden in forgotten shelves that have not yet been reached,explored or studied. An example of this is Bouchaara's Hajj trip, whose owner is unknown - despite his scientific status - in the Moroccan and Arab cultural circles. In particular, we mention: Youssef Al-Nabahani. Thus, we have uncovered a cultured Moroccan figure who remained unknown despite the fact that he left a scientific work that enriched the Moroccan treasury. From here came our conviction to present the authentic journey of Bouchaara, so who is this traveller? What are the conditions of his trip and what are its main raised issues ? Where does its importance lay? And what did it add to the series of Moroccan pilgrimages that Moroccans have been taking? These are a set of questions that we will try hard to answer through this research
Philosophy of Utuism and Its Practical Expressions in the Reality
Authors: Waitherero Simon Njuguna
Published: May 2023

The intrinsic nature of man as alluded and discussed by Aristotle, and as seen in the chapter above, demonstrates that the human nature presents for itself uniqueness of being. The rational, the social, the political and the moral are some of the inner qualities that are just proper to the human person. One may argue that these are the realities in the natural make up of man, making him act the way he does. If this assertion is true, then we need to ask ourselves, what is that through which the individual actions can be said to be rational, social, political and moral? This article exemplifies on the practical application and expression of Utuism in the real life. The practical application of Utuism is demonstrated in the life of a man in different perspectives. The paper further looks into hindrances that inhibit the practice of Utuism. The paper presents illustrations of the practical absence or presence of Utuism to enhance better understanding of the theme of the study.

Purpose: Communication is the passport of success. The objective of this undertaking was to fabricate a neural network ready to group which letter of the American Sign Language (ASL) letters in order is being marked, given a picture of a marking hand.
Design/Methodology/Approach: It was developed using Python programming with the help of TensorFlow for all AI-related tasks and Deep Learning.
Findings/Result: This examination is an initial move towards building a potential communication via gestures interpreter, which can take correspondences in communication through signing and make an interpretation of them into composed and oral language. Such an interpreter would enormously bring down the hindrance for some hard of hearing and quiet people to have the option to more readily speak with others in everyday collaborations. This objective is additionally propelled by the seclusion that is felt inside the hard of hearing local area. Dejection and sorrow exist at higher rates among the hard of hearing populace, particularly when they are drenched in a conference world.
Originality/Value: Enormous obstructions that significantly influence life quality originates from the correspondence disengagement between the hard of hearing and the conference. A few models are data hardship, impediments of social associations, and trouble coordinating in the public eye.

The reproductive traits that contribute to the invasive success of Mediterranean onionweed (Asphodelus fistulosus)
Authors: Guerrero-Eloisa Oscar Sandino , Golubov Jordan , Mandujano María C. , Valverde Pedro Luis
Published: May 2023

Background and aims – Understanding the traits that lead to the invasion potential of invasive alien species (IAS) provides insight for their management. The reproductive traits of IAS help us understand the mechanisms that allow for their invasive potential, and colonization into new ranges. Asphodelus fistulosus is a native Mediterranean species commonly found invading Australia, South-East Asia, South Africa, and North America.

Materials and methods – Two populations of A. fistulosus in the Chihuahuan Desert were monitored for reproductive phenology. Floral visitors and their behaviour were described, and we assessed the breeding system through floral morphological characters and the mating system in controlled pollination experiments.

Key results – Reproductive phenology showed continuous reproduction throughout the year. Floral morphology suggested a facultative autogamous breeding system, but the mating system was mixed with autonomous selfing. Flowers lasted one day, with anthesis lasting 11 h. Floral visitors of A. fistulosus consisted of a variety of taxa including species of Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, and Lepidoptera, the exotic Apis mellifera being the most frequent visitor.

Conclusions – The reproductive traits of A. fistulosus in the invaded range provide the biological potential for further invasion. The continuous production of reproductive structures attracts many diverse pollinators, and the autonomous self-pollination implies that a single plant has the potential to develop a new population, which makes the control of this IAS a global challenge.
Recurrent depression relates to worse outcomes than single episode depression among Hispanic adolescents with diabetes
Authors: Rivera-Santiago Keiliany , Cumba-Aviles Eduardo , Gómez-Rivera Demivette
Published: May 2023

Background

Adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at increased risk for depression. A history of recurrent depression (HRD) may relate to worse health outcomes than single-episode depression. However, no study has explored this issue among T1D adolescents.

Participants and procedure

We examined differences in psychosocial and diabetes-related outcomes between T1D adolescents with (G1; n = 33) and without (G2; n = 18) HRD. Participants were 51 youths (aged 12-17 years) enrolled in a depression treatment study. Youths and one caregiver each completed several measures. Using MANOVA, followed by individual ANOVAs, and chi-square tests, we compared groups in continuous and categorical variables, respectively.

Results

MANOVA results were significant, F(7, 43) = 3.97, p = .002. Adolescents from G1 obtained higher scores than youths in G2 in self-esteem/guilt problems, cognitive alterations, and sadness due to T1D. Their caregivers reported more burden and rated their offspring as having more internalizing problems, facing more barriers to complying with T1D treatment, and using a medical ID less frequently than their counterparts did. A higher percentage of G1 participants presented clinical anxiety and inadequate glycemic control, and reported a history of major depression. According to caregivers, a higher proportion of G1 members had experienced multiple diabetes-related hospitalizations, were non-compliant with insulin treatment, and lived in homes with a conflictive environment.

Conclusions

Our study documents important differences in outcomes between T1D youths with vs. without any HRD. Clinicians may need an intensive and integrative approach to treat mental and physical aspects of health among these patients.

Es escasa la información referente al potencial productivo del cultivo de Hibiscus sabdariffa en diferentes ambientes y densidades de plantación. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el efecto sobre los cálices de las variedades Alma Blanca, Escarlata, Quinba y Sudán, en función del ambiente (estados de Guerrero, Oaxaca, Puebla y Quintana Roo) y la densidad de 15625, 20833, 31250 y 41666 pl·ha-1). Se empleó un diseño de bloques al azar, con cuatro repeticiones y tratamientos en arreglo factorial 4x4x4. Los resultados indican que a los 200 días después del trasplante se obtuvo más del 85 % de cálices maduros (con color rojo y separación de brácteas). Sudán desarrolló cálices con mayor diámetro y peso seco por cáliz (7,42 cm y 2,61 g, respectivamente), y hasta 20 semillas por fruto en Quintana Roo a 15625 pl·ha-1. El pH (2,88) y la acidez (24 %) de los extractos fueron más altos en Alma Blanca, en Oaxaca a 41666 pl·ha-1; mientras que los sólidos solubles totales (85 %) y las antocianinas (4,0 mg·g-1) lo fueron en Sudán, en Oaxaca a 15625 pl·ha-1. Las antocianinas más importantes fueron delfinidina-3-sambubiósido y cianidina-3-sambubiósido, con 62,56 y 25,49 %, respectivamente, se obtuvieron en Sudán, en Guerrero a 15625 pl·ha-1. Se concluye que la variedad, el ambiente de producción y la densidad de plantación influyen en la calidad y composición química de los cálices.

La quinua es un cultivo con alto potencial económico y social en la Región Puno, Perú; sin embargo, su producción está afectada por la baja fertilidad de los suelos. Una forma de enfrentar este problema sin afectar el ambiente es mediante el uso de microorganismos benéficos. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el efecto de cepas de Trichoderma sp. en la nutrición de la quinua var. Salcedo INIA y en las características químicas del suelo. La investigación se desarrolló en el Laboratorio de Fitopatología e instalaciones de la Escuela Profesional de Ingeniería Agronómica, ubicado en la ciudad de Puno durante los meses de enero a julio de 2015. Se emplearon cinco cepas de Trichoderma sp. para la inoculación en plantas de quinua mediante la aplicación al suelo o usando semilla peletizada. Al final del ciclo del cultivo (seis meses) se evaluaron los niveles de N, P y K tanto en el tejido vegetal como en el suelo. No se detectaron efectos de la inoculación con Trichoderma en los niveles de los nutrientes en el suelo, pero las plantas inoculadas mostraron contenidos de P y K superiores a los del testigo (P≤0.05). Los resultados no lograron sustentar la tesis del efecto solubilizador de Trichoderma sobre los nutrientes del suelo, pero sustentan la idea que la planta mejoró su eficiencia en la absorción de nutrientes atribuido al mayor crecimiento del sistema radical.

Mediante el uso de la hidroponía es posible aumentar el aprovechamiento de los nutrientes por los cultivos; sin embargo, el balance de la solución nutritiva (SN) debe ser adecuado, o de lo contrario, se puede afectar negativamente la respuesta de la planta. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar, durante tres etapas, el crecimiento de plantas de lechuga en hidroponía, usando macronutrientes (NO3-, H2PO4-, SO42- y K+, Ca2+, Mg2+) en las siguientes cinco proporciones: 60:5:35 y 35:45:20 (SN-1, Steiner-testigo); 80:2,5:17,5 y 35:45:20 (SN-2); 40:7,5:52,5 y 35:45:20 (SN-3); 60:5:35 y 43,7:38,9:17,3 (SN-4); y 60:5:35 y 20:55,4:24,6 (SN-5). El ensayo se condujo en un diseño de bloques al azar con seis repeticiones. Se determinó el índice de clorofila (IC), área foliar (AF) y peso fresco de la planta (PF), así como peso seco de hojas (PSH), cogollo (PSC) y raíz (PSR). La SN-2 superó en las tres etapas a otros tratamientos propuestos en las variables de PF, AF e IC, y en determinadas etapas superó al tratamiento testigo. En las variables de peso seco, sólo hubo diferencias en la etapa final para PSH y PSR en la que la SN-2 superó a otras SN propuestas, pero no se diferenció de la SN de Steiner (testigo). El tratamiento con alta proporción de nitrato (SN-2) superó al resto de los tratamientos en diferentes variables, así como eventualmente a la SN de Steiner, por lo que se debería considerar en futuras evaluaciones de soluciones nutritivas para cultivos de hoja.

El mango de azúcar (Mangifera indica L.) es cultivado en el departamento del Magdalena, municipios de Santa Marta y Ciénaga principalmente, lugar donde expresa su mejor comportamiento agronómico y mejor calidad de la fruta. Su alta demanda ha generado la necesidad de aumentar las áreas del cultivo; sin embargo, no existen criterios definidos para identificar zonas potenciales para su establecimiento. El estudio consistió en construir un índice de calidad de suelo para la producción de mango en función de doce indicadores físicos y quince indicadores químicos de los suelos. En seis fincas de mango de azúcar del departamento del Magdalena se seleccionaron tres parcelas de 350 m2 por finca y en cada parcela se caracterizaron las propiedades físicas y químicas de los suelos. Las características de los suelos donde el cultivar expresa su mayor rendimiento y calidad de fruta fueron los indicadores de referencia para cada variable estudiada. El indicador de calidad de suelo se formuló en función de las variables que explicaban mayor variabilidad y fueron más redundantes en base a sus correlaciones. Adicionalmente, se dio un peso a cada variable dependiendo de su importancia para el comportamiento agronómico del cultivar. Los indicadores del suelo mostraron variación, especialmente los nutrientes Zn, Cu, Fe, S y P en las propiedades químicas y la infiltración y el índice de estructura en las propiedades físicas. Las variables químicas y físicas con mayor peso fueron el pH y el contenido de arena, respectivamente. El índice de calidad de suelo propuesto resultó ser un buen método para clasificar la calidad del suelo para la producción de mango de azúcar en función de indicadores físicos y químicos del suelo.

Bu makale, Türk modernleşme sürecinin Tanzimat, II. Meşrutiyet ve Erken Cumhuriyet aşamalarında merkezî rol oynayan kadın ve ideal kadın söylemlerindeki değişime odaklanmaktadır. Makalede bu üç dönemde eğitim, çalışma, aile hayatı ve gündelik yaşamdaki kadın değişimini bütüncül ve süreklilik ilişkisi içerisinde ele almak amaçlanmaktadır. Bu sebeple çalışmada, uzun süreli tarihsel ve toplumsal dönüşümleri, makro ve mikro etkileşimleri ihmal etmeden bütünsel olarak analiz eden tarihsel sosyoloji yaklaşımı kullanılmıştır. Makalede birçok disiplinin kesişme noktasında bulunan kadın konusuna odaklanıldığı için farklı bilim dallarına ait pek çok kaynaktan yararlanılmıştır. Çalışma neticesinde her üç dönemde de gelecek nesilleri yetiştirme rolü nedeniyle kadınların eğitilmesinin merkeze alındığı ve aile odaklı bir kadın söyleminin geliştirildiği tespit edilmiştir. Kadının toplumsal hayata katılımı bakımından ise Cumhuriyet’in ilanından sonra farklı bir yol haritası çizilmiş, Batılı giyim tarzı ile mesleklerini icra eden kadınlar, Cumhuriyet’in sembolü hâline gelmişlerdir. Her üç dönem kadının eğitimi ve aile içi rolleri bakımından benzerlik arz etse de iyi Müslüman, iyi anne, iyi eş olarak formüle edilen Osmanlı yeni kadını, Cumhuriyet Dönemi’nde iyi anne, iyi eş, iyi yurttaş kadına evrilmiştir.
