migración no es amenaza ni transgrede regulaciones
Authors: Salazar Moscoso Julio A.
Published: June 2023

La gran ironía de la migración en el mundo (dejar la tierra natal para instalarse en otra distinta) es que lleva miles de años como alternativa de sobrevivencia de una humanidad en su origen y esencia errante, mientras los gobiernos y estados se ahogan en un vaso de agua pensando en cómo liberarse de ella, al considerarla un modo y medio de vida extraña, marginal y amenazante. El hecho de que, a causa de la violencia, la desigualdad y la pobreza, la migración se haya triplicado en volumen y complejidad y convertido en un problema mundial inmanejable, representa ya de por sí un desafío sin precedentes para hacerla más inclusiva en el sentido humanitario y de legalidad. Su naturaleza no debe infundir temores ni rechazos sino entendimiento y soluciones. El reconocimiento de sus derechos debe estar en perfecto equilibrio con el reconocimiento de sus deberes. Alejar la represión y los prejuicios xenofóbicos de su camino debe suponer aproximarla al cauce pleno de la justicia interna e internacional.
Marina de Guerra del Perú como instrumento de paz en el contexto del Tratado de Lima de 1929. Un ejemplo de diplomacia naval
Authors: Laguerre Kleimann Michel
Published: June 2023

El Tratado de Lima firmado el 3 de junio de 1929 puso fin al pendiente diplomático iniciado luego de la guerra por el Guano y el Salitre, guerra iniciada cincuenta años atrás. Muchos de los que lucharon en aquella contienda y vivieron los aciagos años posteriores de la misma, fueron actores y testigos del proceso de negociación que daría por concluido uno de los aspectos más sensibles del tratado de Ancón: la devolución de las provincias cautivas. La participación de la Marina de Guerra del Perú, tanto antes, durante como después de la firma del Tratado, significó un ejemplo de Diplomacia Naval, demostrando su antigua y vigente participación en la Política Exterior de la República del Perú.

Published: June 2023

The paper aims to perform an objective comparative analysis of the business climate for entrepreneurship development in European countries in 2021 and group them according to the quality of the business climate. The research uses thirteen criteria from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor report and TOPSIS methodology combined with entropy to perform a comparative analysis of the business climate for entrepreneurship development in selected European economies in 2021. Usage of TOPSIS and entropy method based on the last available data enabled objective and the most accurate evaluation and ranking of countries, taking into account all observed criteria. According to the study, the ranking of European economies indicates that the Netherlands has the most favorable business climate for entrepreneurship development, considering all observed criteria, while Belarus is ranked in the last position. According to relative closeness to the ideal solution (Ci*), the four clusters of countries are derived. Besides the Netherlands, Lithuania, Norway, and Finland were also dedicated to the first cluster, indicating that these economies obtained the most favorable conditions for entrepreneurship development during the pandemic crisis. On the other hand, former command economies and Greece and Cyprus are placed in Cluster IV since they haven’t supported entrepreneurs with sufficient and appropriate economic policy and regulatory reforms.
Nature, Generation, and Dissipation of Alfvénic Kinks/Switchbacks Observed by Parker Solar Probe and WIND
Authors: Hou Chuanpeng , Zhu Xingyu , Zhuo Rui , He Jiansen , Verscharen Daniel , Duan Die
Published: June 2023

The discovery of very prominent magnetic kinks/switchbacks in the solar wind within 0.3 au has become a scientific highlight of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission. This discovery points at the promising impact of small-scale solar activity on the inner heliosphere. To address the nature, generation, and dissipation of these kinks, we perform a statistical analysis of the plasma and boundary properties of the kinks using PSP multi-encounter observations and WIND measurements at 1 au. The kinks show strong Alfvénicity and velocity fluctuations of the order of the local Alfvén speed. These findings suggest that the nature of the kinks is consistent with large-amplitude Alfvén pulses, and the steepening of these Alfvén pulses is likely the formation mechanism of these kinks. Based on the angle between the normal direction of the kinks’ boundaries and the background magnetic field vector, PSP kinks and WIND kinks can be divided into two groups: quasi-parallel and quasi-perpendicular kinks. We speculate that quasi-parallel kinks form through the coupling of Alfvén and fast waves as launched from coronal interchange magnetic reconnection. In contrast, quasi-perpendicular kinks may come from the steepening of Alfvén waves launched from both coronal interchange magnetic reconnection and from the more inhomogeneous lower solar atmosphere. We find that the kink velocity perturbation gradually decreases during outward propagation and is much lower than expected from WKB theory, suggesting a progressive dissipation of the kinks. Comparing PSP kinks and WIND kinks, we conjecture that the kinks dissipate through merging with the turbulent energy cascade within 0.25 au.
The Merging of a Coronal Dimming and the Southern Polar Coronal Hole
Authors: Ngampoopun Nawin , Long David M. , Baker Deborah , Green Lucie M. , Yardley Stephanie L. , James Alexander W. , To Andy S. H.
Published: June 2023

We report on the merging between the southern polar coronal hole and an adjacent coronal dimming induced by a coronal mass ejection on 2022 March 18, resulting in the merged region persisting for at least 72 hr. We use remote sensing data from multiple co-observing spacecraft to understand the physical processes during this merging event. The evolution of the merger is examined using Extreme-UltraViolet (EUV) images obtained from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on board the Solar Dynamic Observatory and Extreme Ultraviolet Imager, which is on board the Solar Orbiter spacecraft. The plasma dynamics are quantified using spectroscopic data obtained from the EUV Imaging Spectrometer on board Hinode. The photospheric magnetograms from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager are used to derive the magnetic field properties. To our knowledge, this work is the first spectroscopical analysis of the merging of two open-field structures. We find that the coronal hole and the coronal dimming become indistinguishable after the merging. The upflow speeds inside the coronal dimming become more similar to that of a coronal hole, with a mixture of plasma upflows and downflows observable after the merging. The brightening of the bright points and the appearance of coronal jets inside the merged region further imply ongoing reconnection processes. We propose that component reconnection between the coronal hole and coronal dimming fields plays an important role during this merging event because the footpoint switching resulting from the reconnection allows the coronal dimming to intrude onto the boundary of the southern polar coronal hole.

G0.481-0.037, an Isolated Compact H ii Region in Sgr B1
Authors: Simpson Janet P. , Cotera Angela S.
Published: June 2023

We present a near-infrared spectrum of the isolated compact H ii region G0.481-0.037 taken with SpeX on the Infrared Telescope Facility. This spectrum shows strong lines of hydrogen Brγ, Brδ, Pα, and He i 2.059 μm. The radial velocity observed from the strongest line, Brγ, is V
LSR = 77 ± 6 km s−1, significantly larger than the velocities of other ionized components of Sgr B1. We modeled the observed He i 2.059/Brγ ratio, 0.353 ± 0.075, with Cloudy C22.01 using model stellar atmospheres representing both dwarfs and giants. Our model ratios agree with the observed ratio for stellar effective temperatures of ∼34,500 K for dwarfs and ∼33,000 K for giants, from which we estimate late O spectral types for both luminosity classes. These values are consistent with the observed radio fluxes, given that the ionizing star of G0.481-0.037 is probably no longer embedded in its natal molecular cloud.
Social and economic transformations in Bulgarian mountain periphery: A 1986–2014 comparative analysis
Authors: Koulov Boian
Published: June 2023

The goal of this study is to produce a comparative analysis of the socio-economic transformations in a typicalmountain administrative district at the NUTS 3 level since the 1989 transition to market economy in Bulgaria. Demographic and economic indicators are utilized to provide a diagnosis of the current state of affairs, but also to highlight tendencies, which are noteworthy for the investigation and administration of districts that belong to both border and mountain peripheries. The main proposition of this paper is that in the post-1989 conditions the Oblast’s “double” periphery position is severely impairing its overall development in relation to the rest of the country. The large and widening discrepancies between national and regional demographic and economic indicators point to a pronounced process of marginalization of certain areas, which necessitates the implementation of a specifically targeted development policy.
GIS tools and models for mapping and assessment of ecosystem services
Authors: Nedkov Stoyan
Published: June 2023

Mapping and assessment of ecosystem services (ES) is a complex activity which includes spatial data acquisition, its organization into databases and generation of maps for the areas of ES supply and demand. GIS is an integral part of these activities and plays key role for the mapping and assessment of ES. There is a significant advance in the development of various tool and models for mapping and assessment during the last decade. The use of GIS in ecosystem services mapping can take three general approaches, analysis tools built into GIS software packages, disciplinary biophysical models applied for ecosystem service assessment and modeling tools designed specifically for ecosystem service assessment. This paper presents the main advantages of the GIS application in these three approaches through analysis of the available tools, models and techniques. The applications are illustrated by examples of mapping works in different areas in Bulgaria.

The map - "evergreen" in geography education
Authors: Vasileva Maya
Published: June 2023

The geographic map is a diagrammatic symbolic depiction of the earth's surface or a part of it, typically represented on a flat surface. The maps are widely used in geography science as a model of the studied territories and phenomena. At the same time, the importance of maps as a learning tool in geography education is immense. The maps are labeled as "the second language of geography", "alpha and omega of geography"; "litmus paper that shows what is geographic" The map for geography is what is the microscope for biology. So why and what is it all about? What is so special about the geographic map? The current paper will try to find the answers of these difficult questions. It will be presented an up-to-date interpretation and the most general didactical and methodological characterization of the geographic map as a "special source" of information in geography education. Also the author explores map essence, its meaning and peculiarities, and the place of map in regard to the goals, content and methodology of geography training. In the paper is presented an open for discussion model of cartographic competence achieved by pupils in the training process. Consequently, the stages of cultivation of cartographic competence are explored: reading the map - decoding the graphic images and map description; map interpretation – reading and evaluation of the map.

Opportunities for Remote Sensing Applications in Organic Cultivation of Cereals – a Review
Authors: Chanev Milen , Filchev Lachezar , Ivanova Dimka
Published: June 2023

In recent years, a number of studies have proven that the conventional agricultural system is not sustainable, toxic to the environment, human health, and its potential to feed humanity is limited to the next 50 years. With this in mind, as well as the increasing demand for healthy and safe foods, and the increase in the proportion of people who care about how the food they consume was produced, how much it does not harm the environment and health, farmers are starting to reorient their production into organic. Over the past 40 years, remote sensing methods and technologies have increasingly been used in agriculture. They have proved extremely useful for optimizing the working processes in the sector, as well as solving many of the problems in it. With this report, we aim to draw the scientific community's attention to the possibilities provided by remote sensing methods and technologies to solve a range of problems related to organic cultivation of cereals.

Published: June 2023

The paper presents the results of studying the spatial and seasonal atmospheric temperature characteristics of Jalingo metropolis, Nigeria, with the aim of assessing seasonal temperature variations for thermal comfort planning. Temperature data for this study was collected across the local climate zones, otherwise known as thermal climate zones (TCZ), following the TZC classification of the area. Temperature data was collected for 30 days continuously and simultaneously across the TCZ. The collection of temperature data was done in the months of April and August 2021, and January 2022 – representing the dry season, the rainy season and the Harmattan period respectively. A Thermochron Ibutton sensor by Maxim Incorporation was used to collect temperature data, while the specific series used was DS1921. An improvised automated weather station was constructed to house the sensor. The result of the study indicates that air temperature varies considerably within Jalingo metropolis, as well as throughout the seasons, thus affecting human thermal comfort in the study area, as temperature is found to correlate well with both human morbidity and mortality, especially regarding cardiovascular diseases. The paper recommends increasing ventilation and nature-based solution to reduce high temperatures through tree planting in order to improve human thermal comfort in Jalingo metropolis area.
Le Comité de coopération transfrontalière (CCT) franco-allemand : de la coopération à l’intégration dans l’espace transfrontalier
Authors: Gräber Cathrin , Muller Vincent
Published: June 2023

La création d’un espace franco-allemand intégré constitue un objectif politique majeur du traité d’Aix-la-Chapelle (22 janvier 2019) : absente du traité de l’Élysée, la coopération transfrontalière est l’une des principales innovations de ce nouvel accord qui met les citoyens des deux nations au cœur de leur partenariat. Depuis 2020, le Comité de coopération transfrontalière (CCT) franco-allemand met en œuvre cette priorité, notamment par l’adoption de délibérations proposant au Conseil des ministres franco-allemand (CMFA) des solutions concrètes aux « irritants » de la vie quotidienne des habitants, des collectivités territoriales et des entreprises des régions voisines des deux pays. Le traité s’est inspiré d’un rapport parlementaire français qui avait précisé les attentes locales. Grâce à la volonté des deux gouvernements, il est entré très rapidement en vigueur, même si le fonctionnement du CCT a été impacté par la pandémie de la Covid-19. Les années 2021 et 2022 ont permis la mise en œuvre d’un programme de travail très large, allant de projets de proximité à des priorités structurelles pour le développement des échanges entre territoires limitrophes. Pour améliorer le fonctionnement des mécanismes décisionnels, plusieurs mesures administratives pourraient être implémentées d’ici 2024, afin d’accélérer les réformes nécessaires et renforcer la visibilité du Comité. Pour l’Allemagne et la France, l’enjeu dépasse le cadre diplomatique bilatéral, puisque l’intégration transfrontalière – qui concerne également la Suisse et le Luxembourg – est un véritable laboratoire pour l’unité européenne.

Authors: Hargasser Reinhold , Ziemer Ortwin
Published: June 2023

L’article part du constat de la surprenante vivacité des cours d’allemand à La Réunion à tous les niveaux (dans le primaire, le secondaire et le supérieur) et en résume d’abord les raisons à la fois structurelles et historiques en mettant l’accent sur le rôle joué d’abord par quelques pionniers à l’instar de Christiane André et Michel Polényk et par la suite sur celui de différents partenaires comme le Rectorat, l’Office franco-allemand pour la Jeunesse (OFAJ) ou encore l’Association des Amis de la Culture allemande à La Réunion (ACAR). Les auteurs mettent en relief l’importance prépondérante des échanges entre La Réunion et les pays de langue allemande et en présentent l’intérêt et les enjeux pour les élèves et les étudiants. Sont ensuite évoqués quelques grands projets pédagogiques structurants menés ces dernières années qui ont été décisifs pour la motivation des apprenants de l’allemand de cette académie ultramarine. C’est dans cette perspective que les auteurs présentent enfin la Semaine académique franco-allemande qui a été organisée en février 2023 dernier dans l’île pour marquer le 60 e  anniversaire du Traité de l’Élysée qui revêt d’une signification particulière dans ce département d’outre-mer.

Un tour d’horizon des premières productions de miroirs en pierre et en métal de la Préhistoire et de la Protohistoire, depuis le Néolithique jusqu’à l’âge du Fer, permet de proposer une nouvelle histoire du reflet dans les régions orientales et méditerranéennes, dont les racines plongent en Égypte et au Proche-Orient ancien. Guidée par une perspective historique, cette démarche a pour but d’enserrer chronologiquement et géographiquement le phénomène dans et autour de l’espace méditerranéen, et de définir son intégration dans les circuits régionaux.
Tensions mémorielles Empire/Canada/Québec à travers la mise en place des monuments aux morts québécois dans l’Entre-deux-guerres
Authors: Djebabla Mourad
Published: June 2023

La Première Guerre mondiale au Canada est un événement porteur tant d’union, autour de l’action des hommes au front, que de désunion avec les tensions nées au pays autour de l’ampleur de l’effort de guerre. La guerre terminée, le souvenir des combattants disparus, dont les corps demeurent outre-mer, fait naître un besoin de matérialisation de l’hommage à rendre à leur sacrifice. À la mémoire des combattants disparus se greffe les attentes politiques des vivants qui évoluent, dans les années 1920-1930, dans une société canadienne qui se détache progressivement de la tutelle impériale pour faire valoir une identité nationale canadienne. À travers la mobilisation pour la construction d’un monument aux morts, mais aussi par la forme choisie ou les inscriptions qui les composent, pour qui sait les décoder, il en transparait des indices du rapport de la société canadienne de l’entre-deux-guerres au sens à donner au sacrifice des combattants de 1914-1918.
Le mythe de Dunkerque dans l’imaginaire britannique, de 1940 au Brexit
Authors: Davis Richard
Published: June 2023

L’évacuation des troupes alliées des plages de Dunkerque en mai-juin 1940 a suivi leur défaite écrasante lors des semaines précédentes. Malgré cet indéniable revers majeur, Dunkerque était très vite présentée non pas comme une défaite, mais comme un « miracle » et comme une délivrance. « L’esprit de Dunkerque », de résistance et détermination, était au cœur des représentations des événements, à la fois dans les récits officiels et dans les médias. Depuis la fin de la guerre, il y a eu plusieurs appels à cet « esprit de Dunkerque » en temps de crise nationale. Dunkerque est souvent représentée dans les films et livres et sert de point de référence dans de nombreux débats sur l’identité nationale britannique et sur les relations entre la Grande-Bretagne et l’Europe, surtout lors du débat sur le Brexit.
L’usage d’un « éveillant » par les soldats français durant la guerre du Golfe (1991)
Authors: Guérin Vincent
Published: June 2023

Durant la guerre du Golfe (1990-1991), l’armée française ouvre une brèche dans l’histoire déjà longue de l’usage de la psychopharmacologie en utilisant pour la première fois une substance qui a pour nom de code virgyl. Découvert par les laboratoires Lafon, testé par l’armée dans le cadre de l’opération dite « Dauphin », le modafinil permet au soldat de rester « éveillé » pendant plus de 48 heures, sans effets secondaires apparents et ce contrairement aux amphétamines. Après quelques éléments contextuels sur la guerre du Golfe, l’objectif de cet article est de revenir sur les origines de ce produit puis, au travers de témoignages, explorer l’écologie de sa prise par les soldats durant l’intervention militaire et son écho, après coup, dans la société civile. L’article se termine par une mise en perspective de l’usage du modafinil jusqu’à maintenant.

Plurilinguisme, entreprises, économie et société
Authors: Montenay Yves
Published: June 2023

J’ai eu à connaître de la question de la langue de travail en tant qu’ancien responsable d’une entreprise internationale puis en tant qu’universitaire. Je suis d’une génération où les cadres dirigeants parlaient souvent peu et mal anglais, et pensaient qu’une part des difficultés de leur entreprise venait de là, d’autant que leurs collaborateurs plus jeunes et plus anglophones faisaient tout pour les en persuader afin de mieux se valoriser. Je me suis vite aperçu que cette question était secondaire par rapport aux autres qualités et défauts de l’entreprise, et que l’anglais n’avait qu’une nécessité circonstancielle et que son usage était donc gérable sans envahir l’entreprise. Et surtout que l’anglicisation entraînait un immense gâchis de compétences avec promotion de bons anglophones, voire de « native speakers » au détriment de meilleurs « créatifs » ou techniciens qui ne pouvaient plus défendre efficacement leurs idées, situation aggravée par le sentiment de supériorité de celui connaissant mieux « la langue internationale ». Même à l’étranger, j’ai veillé à ce que les francophones puissent travailler entre eux en français et à les mettre en contact avec les réseaux francophones locaux (tels les Libanais de la péninsule arabique ; idem pour les germanophones dans d’autres pays) tandis que les autres travaillaient dans leur langue maternelle ou de scolarisation. Pour ces questions, je pense que l’intérêt de l’entreprise est le même que celui des salariés.

La prise en charge du burn-out en médecine thermale
Authors: Douillard Jean-Luc
Published: June 2023

La médecine thermale est une médecine douce, naturelle, efficace et surtout moderne pour soigner les maux de la société, ceux du corps et ceux de l’âme. La société moderne est touchée par différentes crises, sociales, politiques, économiques, sanitaires, climatiques et les professionnels libéraux ou des institutions de santé publics ou privés sont démunis face aux détresses multiples de personnes qui souffrent de troubles anxieux, de troubles dépressifs, de douleurs chroniques, de fatigue intense, d’épuisement professionnel avec des répercussions fortes sur leur santé somatique et surtout psychique. Le burn-out est donc un exemple de souffrances liées à la modernité sociale et à la place que prennent aujourd’hui nos identités professionnelles et le surinvestissement du travail et dans le travail. C’est une indication médicale pour une cure thermale dans une station spécialisée en santé mentale comme Les Thermes de Saujon qui permet d’associer aux soins thermaux un programme complémentaire de psycho-éducation en groupe à partir d’ateliers thématiques et d’entretiens psychologiques venant compléter le suivi médical. Une efficacité prouvée par des travaux de recherche publiés ces dernières années, complétés par les retours d’expériences des curistes et des professionnels experts en santé mentale qui prennent en charge et organisent ces programmes complémentaires en cure thermale conventionnée. Les programmes spécifiques développés par l’École thermale du stress de Saujon sont un modèle de prise en charge de certaines souffrances psychiques et/ou somatiques comme le burnout, les douleurs chroniques, les troubles du sommeil, et doivent se développer en s’adaptant aux réalités de société comme la médecine thermale a toujours su le faire depuis 2000 ans.
Le toucher émotionnel et soins hydrothermaux
Authors: Kuntz Fabrice , Kanny Gisèle , Danan Jane-Laure
Published: June 2023

Le toucher est un sens présent dès la naissance chez tous les mammifères. Des fibres spécifiques afférentes CT reliées aux follicules pileux transmettent une sensation de toucher agréable de la peau. Les caresses sont mémorisées au niveau de structures complexes insulaires et limbiques impliquant la mémoire et les émotions. Le toucher que ce soit lors de massage ou par la médiation de l’eau minérale naturelle renforce le lien psychoaffectif entre la personne et son environnement immédiat en y associant une tonalité émotionnelle. La répétition des soins agréables conduit à une sensation de bien-être ressenti tout au long de la cure. Cette expérience vécue lors de soins répétés participe au lâcher-prise, facteur déterminant de succès d’une cure thermale. La mémorisation de cette séquence sensorielle peut être activée ultérieurement à l’occasion de la prise en charge des phénomènes douloureux chroniques en dehors de la cure.
A simple and efficient numerical method for the Allen–Cahn equation on effective symmetric triangular meshes
Authors: Hwang Youngjin , Ham Seokjun , Lee Chaeyoung , Lee Gyeonggyu , Kang Seungyoon , Kim Junseok
Published: June 2023

In this paper, we propose a novel, simple, efficient, and explicit numerical method for the Allen–Cahn (AC) equation on effective symmetric triangular meshes. First, we compute the net vector of all vectors starting from each node point to its one-ring neighbor vertices and virtually adjust the neighbor vertices so that the net vector is zero. Then, we define the values at the virtually adjusted nodes using linear and quadratic interpolations. Finally, we define a discrete Laplace operator on triangular meshes. We perform several computational experiments to demonstrate the performance of the proposed numerical method for the Laplace operator, the diffusion equation, and the AC equation on triangular meshes.
Analysis of information measures using generalized type-Ⅰ hybrid censored data

Published: June 2023

An entropy measure of uncertainty has a complementary dual function called extropy. In the last six years, this measure of randomness has gotten a lot of attention. It cannot, however, be applied to systems that have survived for some time. As a result, the idea of residual extropy was created. To estimate the extropy and residual extropy, Bayesian and non-Bayesian estimators of unknown parameters of the exponentiated gamma distribution are generated. Bayesian estimators are regarded using balanced loss functions like the balanced squared error, balanced linear exponential and balanced general entropy. We use the Lindley method to get the extropy and residual extropy estimates for the exponentiated gamma distribution based on generalized type-Ⅰ hybrid censored data. To test the effectiveness of the proposed methodologies, a simulation experiment was carried out, and the actual data set was studied for illustrative purposes. In summary, the mean squared error values decrease as the number of failures increases, according to the results obtained. The Bayesian estimates of residual extropy under the balanced linear exponential loss function perform well compared to the other estimates. Alternatively, the Bayesian estimates of the extropy perform well under a balanced general entropy loss function in the majority of situations.

Authors: Jebari Hakim , Hayani Mechkouri Meriem , Rekiek Siham , Reklaoui Kamal
Published: June 2023

Poultry farms have played a significant role throughout human history, in feeding the growing population. A good environment is a perfect condition for the growth of poultry, preventing disease, and effective production. The temperature higher and the humidity favor the growth of bacteria and hence the production of ammonia (NH3) by the decomposition of organic matter. Ammonia (NH3), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are poisonous gases that can cause poultry diseases and mortality. The combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and Edge Computing offer efficient and intelligent stand-alone systems of monitoring in real-time, predicting, and advanced automation. The paper aims to monitor in real-time and predict poultry barns' environmental conditions using an artificial intelligence algorithm. An intelligent system called Poultry-Edge-AI-IoT has been developed to gather, hash, store, pretreat, filter, knowledge extract, and transmit information from a heterogeneous wireless sensor network. The Poultry-Edge-AI-IoT system is based on IoT, AI, and Edge Computing for the detection of potential stress, the harmful gas concentration, and the prediction of poultry barns' environmental conditions. The system is modular and upgradeable.

Biomaterial products for bone repair are needed to support accelerated tissue healing. This research aimed to synthesize and characterize carbonate hydroxyapatite (CHA) from Pinctada maxima (P. maxima) using the precipitation method with a short aging time, 15 min. CHA was dried with oven-dry at 100°C for 12 h (CHA A) and a furnace-dry at 1000°C for 2 h (CHA B). Short aging time succeeded in producing CHA B-type with lattice parameters and of CHA A is 9.382 and 6.964 , while 9.451 and 6.962 for CHA B. The high temperature treatment made the diffraction peak indicating CHA more detected and crystallinity increased to 97.87%. The appearance of C–O bond and diffraction peaks of CHA verified substituted carbonates hydroxyapatite.

The Covid-19 virus, which started in 2019 and has taken the whole world under its influence has negatively affected normal living conditions and accordingly, increased awareness to prevent anti-microbial diseases transmitted by contact. In almost all sectors, precautions have been taken considering the transmission of diseases by contact. As a requirement of our age, they enrich their product ranges by developing new methods and making innovations for companies whose sector is dominated by industrial locks, hinges, and handles, both in terms of hygienic product design and in terms of the raw material of the part used in production. For example, it is preferable that the products in the air-conditioning sector have anti-microbial properties. The evaluation of the effect of microorganisms on plastic raw materials and the determination of whether this effect causes future deterioration in plastic materials has been examined in our article. Currently, the products supplied to the sectors are products produced from raw materials such as PA6 GFR30, ABS, PA6, which are available on the market. It is aimed to provide anti-microbial properties of products in accordance with the needs of the sector and the era by changing the raw material used or adding additives in certain proportions to the raw material.
Nonbinary Roles for T Follicular Helper Cells and T Follicular Regulatory Cells in the Germinal Center Response
Authors: Chen Qiang , Dent Alexander L
Published: June 2023

Development of high-affinity Abs in the germinal center (GC) is dependent on a specialized subset of T cells called “T follicular helper” (TFH) cells that help select Ag-specific B cells. A second T cell subset, T follicular regulatory (TFR) cells, can act as repressors of the GC and Ab response but can also provide a helper function for GC B cells in some contexts. Recent studies showed that, apart from their traditional helper role, TFH cells can also act as repressors of the Ab response, particularly for IgE responses. We review how both TFH and TFR cells express helper and repressor factors that coordinately regulate the Ab response and how the line between these two subsets is less clear than initially thought. Thus, TFH and TFR cells are interconnected and have “nonbinary” functions. However, many questions remain about how these critical cells control the Ab response.

For the digestive system, there exists one common malignant tumor, known as gastric cancer. It is the third most prevalent type of tumor among different tumors worldwide. It has been reported that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), participate in various biological processes of gastric cancer. However, there are still many lncRNAs with unknown functions, and we discovered a novel lncRNA designated as FBXO18-AS. Whether lncRNAFBXO18-AS participates in gastric cancer progression is still unknown. Bioinformatic analysis, immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, and qPCR were carried out to explore FBXO18-AS and TGF-β1 expression. In addition, EdU, MTS, migration and transwell assays were performed to investigate the invasion, proliferation and migration of gastric cancer in vitro. We first discovered that FBXO18-AS expression was upregulated in gastric cancer and linked to poorer outcomes among patients with gastric cancer. Then, we confirmed that FBXO18-AS promoted the proliferation, invasion, migration, and an EMT-like process in gastric cancer in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, FBXO18-AS was found to be involved in the progression of gastric cancer by modulating TGF-β1/Smad signaling. Therefore, it might offer a possible biomarker for gastric cancer diagnosis and an effective strategy for clinical treatment.

Symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB), including urinary incontinence, affect a person's quality of life and cause many personal, social and economic problems. Patients were randomly divided into three groups and received transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (cTTNS) with fixed parameters or with variable parameters (vTTNS) and Solifenacin drug. The main outcomes including quality of life questionnaire and OAB score and other secondary outcomes were evaluated before and after treatment for 6 weeks. ANOVA test did not show any significant difference between the three groups in quality of life score (p=0.672), OAB symptom score (p=0.159) and incontinence severity (p=0.422). The t-test demonstrated that the post treatment average quality of life score, OAB score, and incontinence severity were significantly different when compared with before treatment in all three groups (p < 0.05). All three methods were effective in treating symptoms of OAB. However, based on the clinical symptoms, cTTNS is recommended as a preferred and acceptable and safe strategy for the treatment of OAB in women over 50 years old.

Post-traumatic fibro-osseous lesions (PTFOL) are a rare and benign tumor that typically affects the ribs and is probably caused by an excessive post-traumatic reactive process. PTFOL primarily affects the sixth, seventh, and eighth ribs. Here, we report a case of a PTFOL with an unusual location and expansion that simulated a malignant chest tumor. A 28-year-old male patient with a history of minor chest trauma presented with pain. Chest radiography revealed a large, well-defined lesion on the left fourth rib, and computed tomography (CT) of the chest revealed a lytic lesion-type IC on the posterior and middle arches of the left fourth rib with a cartilaginous matrix and discontinued periosteal reaction without soft tissue mass extension. Additionally, magnetic resonance imaging of the chest revealed an ovoid, expansive mass with cystic lobules and lobulated contours extending almost over the entire left fourth rib, measuring 134×47 mm in size. This mass has a low signal on T1-weighted images and a heterogeneous intermediate signal on T2-weighted images, with intense enhancement after gadolinium injection suggestive of a malignant chest tumor. A CT-guided bone biopsy confirmed the presence of an intramedullary lesion consisting of fibrous connective tissue with fusiform fibroblastic cells without atypical signs. The lesion was delimited by bone trabeculae with nibbled edges, indicating exaggerated osteoclastic activity compatible with a diagnosis of PTFOL. The patient was treated with simple analgesics, and chest pain was relieved, with an unchanged volume of the lesion at 1 year of follow-up.

Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) has emerged as a feasible alternative to surgical reoperation in failed bioprostheses and rings. Residual mitral regurgitation following TMVR can present as a valve-in-valve paravalvular leak (PVL) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Current therapies for valve-in-valve PVL are limited. We present a case of a symptomatic patient with severe valve-in-valve PVL after TMVR for a previous surgical bioprosthesis leak, who then underwent a second TMVR as a valve-in-valve-in-valve implantation with a 29 mm Edwards SAPIEN 3 valve via transseptal approach using three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography. This unique case highlights the complexity of this clinical entity and recognizes 3D transesophageal echocardiography as a valuable tool to guide valve-in-valve PVL closures.
