Endoplasmic reticulum stress-related gene expression patterns in glioblastoma models identified by single-cell RNA sequencing: Implications for prognosis and treatment
Authors: Yang Ya-Qi , Cai Xiao-Xing
Published: June 2024

Objective: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has therapeutic potential for a variety of malignancies, including glioma. In this study, bioinformatics was used to analyze ER stress-related genes (ERGs) in glioblastoma (GBM), explore their functions and pathways, construct prognostic models, and explore new treatment strategies. Methods: Various bioinformatics algorithms were utilized to screen for ERGs and construct a risk model. According to the expression of ERGs, different subtypes were classified using the consensus clustering method. Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) were performed on the subtypes. Based on screened risk genes, GBM patients were divided into Train and Test groups in a 1:1 ratio. The prognostic model was validated through Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and independent prognostic analysis. The model was further validated by comparing the risk scores between high-risk and low-risk groups, and comparisons were made in terms of survival time, immune microenvironment, and pathway regulation. Drug sensitivity was used to screen drugs for low- and high- risk group, and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis were utilized to explore the expression distribution of risk genes in GBM. Results: According to the ERGs, GBM samples can be divided into two groups with significant differences. Cluster A showed better survival rates compared to Cluster B. GSVA and GSEA analysis revealed that Cluster A was mainly enriched in glutamate receptor signaling pathway, synaptic transmission between neurons, postsynaptic density membrane, postsynaptic membrane, and synaptic vesicle membrane functions. It is worth noting that 8 ERGs were screened as model genes, which can effectively and independently predicate the survival risk of GBM patients with high accuracy and discrimination ability. Subsequently, changes in immune cell populations were observed in high-risk and low-risk groups, with differences in memory B cells and resting CD4 memory T cells between the high-risk and low-risk groups. The high-risk group had higher levels of memory B cells, while the low-risk group had higher levels of resting CD4 memory T cells. Furthermore, potential therapeutic strategies were identified, with BI-2536, Daporinad, SB505124, UMI-77, and Vorinostat identified for the low-risk group, while AZD8055, Camptothecin, Gemcitabine, PD0325901, and Topotecan identified for the high-risk group. scRNA-seq identified Ribosomal Protein L10 (RPL10) as one of the eight ER stress-related genes, primarily expressed in malignant cells of various tumors. Conclusion: This study identified eight ERGs and constructed a risk model based on bioinformatics analysis, which can be used for prognosis prediction and drug screening.

This study investigates the diurnal and vertical variations of virtual temperature (Tv) and ambient temperature (T) from 2013 to 2023 in Ilorin. Data analysis reveals that Tv peaks between 1200 and 1400 hours daily, influenced mainly by relative humidity and inversely by temperature changes, with no significant pressure impact. At the planetary boundary layer, Tv and T exhibit marginal differences, converging higher in the troposphere due to diminishing specific humidity. Temporal trends indicate a surface temperature increase of 0.065 degrees and a Tv increase of 0.016 degrees over the past decade. While no simple linear correlation between Tv and relative humidity was found, seasonal patterns suggest potential underlying correlations. This highlights the complex interplay of atmospheric variables in influencing virtual temperature and underscores the need for further investigation into seasonal effects.

Authors: Ivana Grace Sofia Radja  , Leo Riski Sunjaya
Published: June 2024

This article aims to analyze the representation of Jember culture in the Jember Fashion Carnival (JFC) using Stuart Hall's representation theory approach.  The main concepts applied in this analysis are change and resistance, which are used to understand how cultural symbols are represented and interpreted in JFC.  The data collection process was carried out through literature study.  Where the data obtained comes from the results of research and scientific work of other people which is studied and then developed.  Data analysis was carried out by combining the concepts of Stuart Hall's representation theory with the findings found in the JFC event.  The results of the literature study analysis show that JFC is an important forum for representing Jember's cultural identity through costume modifications, dance, music and other performances.  In addition, the media plays an important role in the spread and influence of these cultural representations.  In the context of Stuart Hall's representation theory, change refers to the transformation of cultural symbols in the JFC, while resistance describes the process of building cultural representations through interactions and agreements between JFC actors, the government and society.  Through this process, Jember's cultural identity is represented and interpreted in JFC events.  The implication of the results of this research is the need for continuous support in developing and promoting Jember culture through collaborative efforts between the government, cultural actors and the community.  In this case, JFC can be an effective means of strengthening and expanding understanding and appreciation of Jember's cultural identity.

Published: June 2024

Las relaciones públicas son una herramienta indispensable para desarrollar y mantener la reputación de las organizaciones. Pero qué tanto, las y los egresados de la Licenciatura en Ciencias de la Comunicación de la Universidad Autónoma de Guerrero están ejerciendo las competencias de relaciones públicas en el campo laboral, cuáles son las habilidades que las organizaciones públicas y privadas les exigen, en qué situaciones potenciales de gestión de conflictos las practican y qué tan importantes son para el desempeño de su trabajo.  Para aproximar la práctica profesional de las relaciones públicas con el ámbito laboral, es que se optó por una investigación cuantitativa-deductiva, no experimental, transversal con un alcance exploratorio-descriptivo. La unidad de análisis fue de 60 egresados laborando en organizaciones gubernamentales, a quienes se aplicó una encuesta con 11 reactivos. Se desmostró que sí están ejerciendo como relacionistas públicos con exigencia en habilidades para la gestión de redes sociales con fines informativos y de vinculación a los medios de comunicación y no en generar un clima de paz en sus organizaciones. Asi mísmo, se encontró que el perfil profesional de los egresados impacta en el fortalecimiento de la reputación de las instituciones educativas privadas

Las vasculitis son lesiones que muestran daño en las paredes del vaso, cuya característica principal a nivel macroscópico es púrpura palpable en zonas declives del cuerpo. La vasculitis leucocitoclástica cutánea o vasculitis por hipersensibilidad es generalmente producida por depósito de complejos inmunes y/o anticuerpos que interactúan con antígenos de la pared vascular y puede ser causada por infecciones, fármacos, neoplasias o enfermedades inflamatorias sistémicas. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 58 años, que derivado de la ingesta de metamizol, mostró dermatosis diseminada en extremidades superiores, tronco, abdomen, pelvis, pliegues interglúteos y con predominio en extremidades inferiores, caracterizada por manchas eritematovioláceas, purpúricas, simétricas. La biopsia de piel reveló vasos sanguíneos de la dermis superficial con infiltrado inflamatorio en sus paredes y necrosis fibrinoide leve, compatible con vasculitis leucocitoclástica cutánea. Dentro del abordaje se logró integrar Lupus Eritematoso Sistémico como condición clínica preexistente, esta entidad pudo influir exacerbando la reacción de hipersensibilidad tipo III tras la ingesta de metamizol. Este caso ilustra que las dermatosis pueden presentarse como exteriorización de otras patologías sistémicas preexistentes, por lo que es indispensable considerar siempre un enfoque integral del paciente enfermo de la piel.

On specifics of adaptive logging method implementation
Authors: Suprunenko Illia , Rudnytskyi Volodymyr
Published: June 2024

Relevancy of this work is based on the fact that having an understanding of why given code behaves the way it does, both during normal execution and when encountering erroneous states, is an invaluable part of a good software design. As software systems become more complex, the demand for solutions, that can give deeper insight into code execution, remains high. The goal of this work is to formalize a software tool able to provide better observability of a program. Main methods used are: analysis of common approaches such as monitoring and logging, formalization of main components and modeling of an example implementation based on the Singleton software pattern. As a result, “severity only” based logging was analysed and core parts of “adaptive logging method” were described in a similar manner. There are two distinct features of this method: log tagging and subsequent introduction of a configuration schema that is capable of adapting to changing requirements during software program execution. Systems utilizing such approach gain the ability to extract more precise information about execution flow and also can focus on particular components that might behave incorrectly. As this switch is designed to happen without restarting the observed program, it should be possible to debug and investigate some issues without the need to try and reproduce from scratch the state of an environment where those have occurred. An example of formal description based on the Singleton software pattern is also presented, describing necessary methods and their signatures required to set up a basic variant of an adaptive logging method. This approach could be utilized by a variety of different applications and programming languages as it is developed in general terms and all required abstractions should be present in multiple environments

Shared Leadership and its Impact on Team Members' Motivation and Productivity
Authors:   , Hawatian Sarine
Published: June 2024

Past research has examined the impact of shared leadership on organizational and team effectiveness. The literature on the subject has also emphasized the importance of shared leadership and how it is utilized to accomplish organization goals. This study will focus mainly on shared leadership in teams and its impact on team members’ motivation and productivity in Lebanese Organizations. The study’s main emphasis is on teams and the shared leadership behavioral characteristics that they demonstrate and whether these characteristics ultimately lead to team members being more productive and motivated. Although, shared leadership and its effects on Team members’ motivation and productivity is the main focus of this study, however, both the literature and the findings of the study do not eliminate the role of the “vertical leader”. The “vertical leader” is still an essential part of organizations and although the role of a “vertical leader” is reduced, however it is not diminished.
Foreign Exchange Reserves and the Macro-economy in GCC Countries
Authors:   , Wael Abou Khodor
Published: June 2024

This research looks into foreign exchange reserves accumulation and macro-economic growth in GCC countries, namely Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates. Using yearly covering the period from 1996 through 2015, the empirical results show positive relationships between foreign exchange reserves accumulation on one hand, and oil prices, GDP, current account to GDP, and broad money to GDP on the other hand. Moreover, the results point to negative relationships between foreign exchange reserves accumulation on one hand, and real effective exchange rate, debt to GDP, and call money rate on the other hand. However, the results show that the stockpile of foreign exchange reserves in GCC countries is less sensitive to nominal effective exchange rate, imports to GDP, and interest rates on US Dollar. Furthermore, and most importantly, the study shows that both foreign exchange reserves and oil prices appear to spur economic growth in these countries by raising GDP and GDP per capita.
IS THIS THE REAL LIFE? INVESTIGATING THE CREDIBILITY OF SYNTHESIZED FACES AND VOICES CREATED BY AMATEURS USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOLS
Authors: Gregory Daniel , Monteiro Diego Vilela , Monteiro Rita de Cássia Rigotti Vilela , Almeida Luis Fernando de
Published: June 2024

The widespread availability and accessibility of artificial intelligence (AI) tools have enabled experts to create content that fools many and needs deep scrutiny to be discernible from reality; nevertheless, it is unclear whether presented with the same tools amateurs can also create synthesized faces and voices with similar ease. The possibility of creating this kind of content can be life-changing for smaller movie makers. Thus, it is important to understand how, can amateurs be supported and guided into creating similar media and how believable are their results. This paper aims to propose a framework that can be used by amateurs to create completely artificial content and investigate the credibility of synthesized faces and voices created by amateurs using AI tools. Specifically, we explore whether an entirely AI-generated piece of media, encompassing both visual and audio components, can be convincingly created by non-experts. To achieve this, we conducted a series of experiments in which participants were asked to evaluate the credibility of synthesized media produced by amateurs. We analyzed the responses and evaluated the extent to which the synthesized media could pass as authentic to the participants. Our findings suggest that, while AI-generated media created by amateurs may appear visually convincing, the audio component is still lacking in terms of naturalness and authenticity. However, we also found that participants’ perceptions of credibility were influenced by their prior knowledge of AI-generated media and their familiarity with the source material. Our findings also suggest that while AI-generated media has the potential to be highly convincing, current AI tools and techniques are still far from achieving perfect emulation of human behavior and speech, when done by amateurs without artistic interference.

Solução Semi-Analítica por meio da injeção de polímeros
Authors: Nogueira José Roberto
Published: June 2024

Neste trabalho apresentamos o método semi-analitico para o cálculo da solução de um sistema de leis de conservação, usado na simulação da recuperação de óleo por meio da injeção de polímeros. Por razões econômicas bancos d’água com polímeros são injetados durante o processo de recuperação. Portanto as condições de fronteira são dadas por funções do ´step´. A não linearidade das curvas de fluxo fracionário e as condições de fronteira são responsáveis pelas descontinuidades que surgem na solução do sistema. Dissipações numéricas para discretizações usuais aparecem na aproximação numérica da solução.Usamos composições da solução do problema de Riemann propostas em Johansen (541-566) e o cálculo das curvas de descontinuidades da solução global do sistema de leis de conservação com condições iniciais e de fronteira. Um programa computacional foi desenvolvido para o cálculo de alguns passos necessários, como as interseções das curvas , pontos tangentes, etc. Apresentamos uma aplicação do método analisando a influência da adsorção do polímero pelo meio através do histórico da produção. Este método rápido pode ser usado para pequenos bancos, concentrações de polímero e outros aspectos do processo da injeção de polímeros.

Published: June 2024

Na formação de pastagens de inverno, cultivada isoladamente ou consorciada com outras forrageiras de clima temperado, devido à alta produção de matéria verde e seca, além de uma alta qualidade nutritiva, a aveia preta se toma a principal forragem utilizada; além disso, possui alta resistência ao pisoteio e possibilita a elaboração de feno e silagem durante o inverno. opresente trabalho científico teve como principal objetivo avaliar a produtividade da cultura da aveia preta, em relação ao seu custo de implantação em três sistemas de manejos do solo (TI = plantio direto, T2 = com escarificação e T3 = convencional: (uma aração e duas gradagens leve)) através de um experimento em blocos casualizados, com cinco repetições, instalado e conduzido no ano de 200 I, no município de Lages. Informações técnicas obtidas neste trabalho auxiliaram na escolha adequada de máquinas agrícolas, visto que a maioria dos trabalhos encontrados ainda utiliza bibliografias internacionais, o que não necessariamente atinge os melhores resultados nas condições da região experimental. A metodologia estatística para base de estudo foi a análise da variância testando as múltiplas médias através do teste Tukey, com 5% de significância. Os resultados mostraram que a produtividade não foi influenciada pelo sistema de manejo do solo. A capacidade operacional do conjunto tratorsemeadora foi maior no plantio direto, enquanto que a patinagem no sistema plantio direto foi menor. Quanto aos custos, verificou-se que o sistema de plantio direto foi mais viável, pois apresentou um menor custo por hectare e uma produtividade que não diferiu dos demais tratamentos.

Published: June 2024

Foram utilizados 40 ratas e 20 ratos, previamente testados e comprovadamente férteis, divididos em 4 grupos: L Controle; lI. Parotidectomizados; m. Controle injetados com Parotin e IV Parotidectomizados injetados com Parotin. Os animais dos quatro grupos foram acasalados na proporção de 2 remeas para cada macho, sendo que as ratas dos grupos IIIe IV receberam, intraperitonialmente, injeções semanais de Parotin desde a constatação do "plug" vaginal até o nascimento dos filhotes do terceiro cruzamento sucessivo. Os filhotes de cada ninhada foram contados e os dados obtidos demonstraram que, em relação aos animais controle, a parotidectomia ocasionou ace~tuada redução do número de filhotes; a administração de Parotin em ratas não parotidectomizadas ocasionou discreto aumento do número de filhotes; a administração de Parotin em ratas parotidectomizadas impediu nestas, o decréscimo acentuado número de filhotes. A análise de variância demonstrou diferenças, estatisticamente significantes, quanto ao número de filhotes, quando comparados os diversos grupos.

Innovation allows learners to cope with changes and discover new opportunities. This study aimed to investigate the students’ level of innovativeness in learning mathematics amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. A non-probabilistic sampling of 132 students enrolled in Mathematics from Visayas State University were the respondents. Descriptive measures were used to summarize the results, and econometric modeling was constructed to determine significant determinants affecting students’ innovativeness. On average, it was found that students considered themselves as “late majority adopters” during the pandemic. This implies that students during the pandemic are considered to have a low level of innovativeness in adopting the new normal activities in distance learning. Result revealed that household assets, monthly household expense, submission of outputs, and health significantly influence students’ innovativeness in learning mathematics. Hence, the government must support the students with regard to learning technologies, and teachers should motivate students to adapt to the new setup of classes with an appropriate platform and meaningful activities. Furthermore, the government must prioritize the health of students as they learn during the pandemic.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a central role in economic growth, income distribution, and national stability. Digital marketing is key for MSMEs to promote their products and services, overcome time and distance constraints, and expand market reach. The implementation of digital marketing has a positive impact, enhancing visibility and market reach through website optimization, social media, and SEO strategies. Furthermore, digital marketing significantly contributes to increasing MSMEs' sales through the utilization of social media, e-commerce, and data analysis to understand consumer behavior. However, challenges such as limited resources and a lack of understanding of digital marketing still hinder MSMEs. Therefore, efforts for training and support are needed, along with the design of strategies tailored to the MSME business model to optimize the potential of digital marketing for their business success. In conclusion, the implementation of digital marketing is a strategic step that can provide a positive contribution to the growth and development of MSMEs in this digital era.
THE APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY AND INFORMATION DEVELOPMENT IN ELECTRONIC TRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT (ETLE) TO SHAPE PUBLIC AWARENESS
Authors: Valensia Utami Putri
Published: June 2024

The legal system in Indonesia requires breakthroughs amidst the increasingly sophisticated technological developments today. Indonesia has Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (ETLE) as one of the implemented technologies, which electronically records traffic violations. This is done due to limited human resources in traffic police and high legal needs. The use of electronic fines (E-Tilang) is also intended to address public complaints about the ineffectiveness of fines that enter the state treasury because the process of paying court tickets is often inefficient and time-consuming. The method used in this research applies a descriptive-qualitative method. The results of this study state that in practice, ETLE can only detect certain violations such as traffic sign violations. This shows how important it is to comply with traffic regulations and therefore, the ETLE system must be integrated with the national database, and to address these violations, a specific big data system must be created. Thus, it can be concluded that the enforcement of ETLE is still ineffective in addressing traffic violations on the roads in Indonesia.
Elements of a safe learning environment: A student perspective
Authors: Kempen E , Labuschagne M J , Jama M P
Published: June 2024

Background. There is evidence that any learning experience should happen in a safe learning environment as students interact, experiment and construct new knowledge. It is therefore important to investigate a learning environment from student perspectives on what elements will make them feel safe.
Objective. This study aimed to identify the elements contributing to a safe learning environment for millennial optometry students.
Methods. An intrinsic qualitative case study was undertaken with undergraduate optometry students from the University of the Free State, South Africa (N=68). An open-ended questionnaire was completed after applying nine different teaching-learning methods based on Kolb’s experiential learning cycle. To supplement the data, two focus group interviews (N=17) were also conducted.
Results. The response rate to the questionnaire was 99.42%, and 15 students participated in the focus group interviews. Students feel safe in an environment where they are familiar with each other, the educators and the surroundings. Peer learning also creates a safe and familiar environment. These elements create an environment where they feel safe to ask questions. Students value an environment where they can learn without influencing their marks or disadvantaging patients. They enjoy learning from their peers but also need personal contact with educators. Elements such as consistency and an achievable objective have also been identified.
Conclusion. The study findings suggest that to respond to the real learning environment needs of students, insights must be gained into their experiences and perceptions, thereby identifying their needs and suitable learning environment to optimise learning pedagogies.
