Authors: Yin Yue , Li Yanning , Peng Xia , Liao Huanjin , Li Li , Shen Wei
Published: August 2023

Background: The diagnosis of Crohn’s disease (CD) is still challenging,
and the search for novel biomarkers is a worthwhile endeavor. Mast cells
can be activated in various ways. Whether serum IgE, anti-IgE and
anti-IgE high-affinity receptor (FcεRI) antibodies are involved in the
pathogenesis of CD was investigated by bridging FcεRI to activate MCs.
The relationship between MCs and CD is also explored in this
research.Methods: Microplates with human FcεRIα were coated and an
enzyme-labeled anti-human IgG was used as the tracer to successfully
establish an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method
for semi-detection of IgG anti-FcεRI. The optimal working conditions
were explored, followed by conducting the method evaluation. The serum
samples and clinical data of 117 CD patients and 75 healthy controls
were collected. IgE was measured by the rate turbidity turbidimetry; IgG
anti-IgE and IgG anti-FcεRI were detected by ELISA. IgG anti-pancreatic
antibody (PAB) and anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibody (ASCA) were
determined by indirect immunofluorescence assay. Data were analyzed
concerning the clinical characteristics.Conclusions: An ELISA for the
detection of anti-FcεRI was established and validated, which may
contribute to facilitating the study of mast cell-related diseases.
Anti-FcεRI positive CD patients were associated with adverse phenotypes,
suggesting its value in the diagnosis and management of CD.

Despite the historical use of T. cordifolia in Ayurveda for
diabetes, its potential for promoting diabetic wound healing remains
unexplored. This study evaluated the diabetic wound healing ability of
aqueous ethanolic stem extract of T. cordifolia (AETC) in
streptozotocin-nicotinamide (STZ-NAD) induced diabetic rats. AETC
extracts were extracted using 70% aqueous ethanolic solvent via Soxhlet
extraction. A full-thickness excision wound was created on the dorsal
skin of STZ-NAD-induced diabetic rats and followed by a 14-day treatment
with AETC extract at high (500 mg/kg) and low (250 mg/kg) doses. The key
parameters, including blood glucose levels, wound contraction
percentage, and epithelisation time were evaluated. Wound tissues were
collected for histopathological analysis. Oral administration of AETC
significantly reduced blood glucose levels over 14 days (p ≤ 0.01) and
notably improved the percentage of wound contraction compared to
diabetic controls (p < 0.05). Both doses also displayed
significant improvement in epithelisation time (p < 0.05).
Histopathological analysis consistently unveiled the healing of the
epidermis, a reduction in inflammation, as well as the enhancement of
granulation tissue formation and collagen deposition. This study
demonstrated the potential ability of AETC not only in lowering the
blood glucose level but also in ameliorating diabetic wound healing.

Published: August 2023

Lithium (Li) metal is an ideal anode candidate for rechargeable
batteries because of its ultra-high theoretical specific capacity.
Unfortunately, the practical application of Li metal anodes is severely
limited by the uncontrollable formation and growth of dendrites and
infinite volume expansion. Thus, a protective layer is essential for
stable and high-performance Li metal anodes. In this work, we
demonstrate an organic-inorganic hybrid interfacial protective layer on
Li foil surface (pa-Li) consisting of the organic polyvinylidene
fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer（PVDF-HFP）and inorganic
Ag-LixAgy composite species. Going beyond conventional protective
layers, we demonstrate that our hybrid protective layer is flexible and
enabled strong interfacial adherence due to an alloying process.
Furthermore, owing to the protective layer’s outstanding lithiophilicity
and mechanical stability, the pa-Li││pa-Li symmetric cell exhibits
satisfactory stability and reversibility for 1000 h at 5 mA cm-2, 5 mA h
cm-2 with a low voltage hysteresis of ~ 70 mV, while the
full cell with a LiFePO4 cathode delivers an excellent reversible
capacity of 128.9 mA h g-1 for 900 cycles at 2 C with a capacity decay
rate of 0.009% per cycle. This work proposes a design protocol for
synergistic effect of PVDF-HFP organic species and Ag-LixAgy inorganic
species and provides a prospective way to practical application of
highly efficient, long lifespan Li metal batteries.

Published: August 2023

Long-term studies of cyclic rodent populations have contributed
fundamentally to the development of population ecology. Previous
research has shown macroecological patterns of population dynamics in
relation to latitude, but without disentangling the role of underlying
ecological and climate drivers. We collected 26 rodent time-series from
the tundra biome and assessed how population dynamics characteristics of
the most prevalent species varied with latitude and environmental
variables. While we could not find a relationship between latitude and
population cycle peak interval, other characteristics of population
dynamics had latitudinal patterns. The environmental predictor variables
provided insight into causes of these patterns, as i) increased
proportion of optimal habitat in the landscape led to higher population
cycle amplitudes in all species and ii) mid-winter climate variability
had negative impacts on cycle amplitude in Norwegian lemmings and
grey-sided voles. These results indicate that biome-scale climate and
landscape change can be expected to have profound impacts on rodent
population cycles and that the macro-ecology of such functionally
important tundra ecosystem characteristics is likely to be subjected to
transient dynamics.
The Formation Mechanism of Volatile Compounds in Chinese Traditional Fragrant Rapeseed Oil
Authors: Wang Xiangyu , LI Xiaolong , Hui Ju , Huang Honggang , Sun Dongzhe , Chu Baijun , Zhao Huimin
Published: August 2023

Rapeseed oil is one of the most popular types of edible oil worldwide
due to its nutrition and flavor properties. The flavor and odor of
rapeseed oil depend on the species and amounts of volatile compounds,
including aldehydes, alcohols, thiocyanates, isothiocyanates, furans,
pyrazines and other heterocyclic compounds. These compounds primarily
derived from three pathways during oil processing, including lipid
oxidation, glucosinolate degradation and Maillard reaction. In order to
improve and modulate the flavor properties of rapeseed oil, it is
essential to understand the mechanisms of the three pathways. Lipid
oxidation is determined by radical reaction. Glucosinolate degradation
can be attributed to enzymatic process or thermal pyrolysis. Maillard
reaction is the most important approach but quiet complex. To date, many
studies were performed to clarify the formation pathways of flavor
compounds. By summarizing the reaction mechanisms, it can be helpful to
understand and improve the quality and flavor of rapeseed oil to meet
customer’s desire.
SYSTEMIC NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNALS OF AUDITORY PREDICTIVE CODING
Authors: Muñoz-Caracuel Manuel , Muñoz Vanesa , Ruiz-Martínez Francisco J. , Morejón Antonio J. Vázquez , Gómez Carlos
Published: August 2023

Predictive coding framework posits that our brain continuously monitors
changes in the environment and updates its predictive models, minimizing
prediction errors to efficiently adapt to environmental demands.
However, the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms of these
predictive phenomena remain unclear. The present study aimed to explore
the systemic neurophysiological correlates of predictive coding
processes during passive and active auditory processing.
Electroencephalography (EEG), functional near-infrared spectroscopy
(fNIRS) and autonomic nervous system (ANS) measures were analyzed using
an auditory pattern-based novelty oddball paradigm. A sample of
thirty-two healthy subjects was recruited. The results showed shared
slow evoked potentials between passive and active conditions that could
be interpreted as automatic predictive processes of anticipation and
updating, independent of conscious attentional effort. A dissociated
topography of the cortical hemodynamic activity and distinctive evoked
potentials upon auditory pattern violation were also found between both
conditions, whereas only conscious perception leading to imperative
responses was accompanied by phasic ANS responses. These results suggest
a systemic-level hierarchical reallocation of predictive coding neural
resources as a function of contextual demands in the face of sensory
stimulation. Principal component analysis permitted to associate the
variability of some of the recorded signals.

Authors: Wang Leyi , Lei Tonghao , Zhang Wenchang , He Changjian , Shi Wence , Zhang Da , Liu Tengfei , Zhao Zihan , Ding Chunhua
Published: August 2023

Aim: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and
angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) have been reported to manifest
controversial relationships with cancer, and recent focus concerning the
tumorigenic effect of ACEIs mainly falls on lung cancer. We compared
ACEIs with ARBs for their impact on the risk and prognosis of lung
cancer and non-lung cancers, respectively. Methods: A
meta-analysis was performed to explore the impact of ACEIs on the risk
of lung cancer and non-lung cancers, while a systematic review was
performed to further analyze ACEIs’ influence on the prognosis of lung
cancer. Terms concerning ACEIs and cancer were searched, and 10 cohort
studies were included for risk analysis, while 5 cohort studies were
included for analyzing the prognosis of lung cancer. Results:
Initial pooled result revealed that ACEIs prescription is associated
with an observed increase on the risk of lung cancer (RR 1.28, 95% CI
1.02-1.61), colorectal cancer (RR 1.46, 95% CI 1.13-1.87) and hepatic
cancer (RR 2.00, 95% CI 1.01-3.94) when compared with ARBs, but further
sensitivity analyses suggested the results unsolid, thus neither the
development of lung cancer nor non-lung cancers could be proved
associated with ACEIs prescription. However, systematic review suggested
that ACEIs prescription is associated with an improved lung cancer
prognosis. Conclusion: There has been no adequate evidence to
demonstrate that ACEIs are associated with a higher incidence of lung
cancer or non-lung cancers, but an improved prognosis of lung cancer was
observed in patients taking ACEIs. Large-scale RCTs are needed and
underlying mechanisms need further exploration.

Authors: Khan Abdul , Al-Obeidat Feras , Khalid Afsheen , Amin Adnan , Moreira Fernando
Published: August 2023

Online discussion forums are repositories of valuable information where users interact and articulate their ideas and opinions, and share experiences about numerous topics. These online discussion forums are internet-based online communities where users can ask for help and find the solution to a problem. A new user of online discussion forums becomes exhausted from reading the significant number of irrelevant replies in a discussion. An automated discussion thread summarizing system (DTS) is necessary to create a candid view of the entire discussion of a query. Most of the previous approaches for automated DTS use the continuous bag of words (CBOW) model as a sentence embedding tool, which is poor at capturing the overall meaning of the sentence and is unable to grasp word dependency. To overcome these limitations, we introduce the LSTM Auto-encoder as a sentence embedding technique to improve the performance of DTS. The empirical result in the context of the proposed approach?s average precision, recall, and F-measure with respect to ROGUE-1 and ROUGE-2 of two standard experimental datasets demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach and outperforms the state-of-the-art CBOWmodel in sentence embedding tasks and boost the performance of the automated DTS model.

Authors: Dini Annisa Rahma , Setiawan Bayu , Ali Yusuf
Published: August 2023

Conflict is unavoidable. Regardless of the nature of the conflict, war is the last alternative when the peace effort has failed to take. Russia's attack on Ukraine is the last stage in resolving the conflict due to the failure of peace negotiations between the two sides. This study aims to analyze the national interest of Russia in invading Ukraine through the perspective of realism. The method used in this research is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The data collection technique is secondary data through documentation or literature study. In this case, the researcher conducted previous research with the research topic studied from scientific articles in libraries and cyberspace. This study's results indicate an iceberg phenomenon in Russia's national interest in invading Ukrainian territory. Western expansion into the territory of Ukraine has created a security dilemma for Russia, so the war is used as momentum for Russia to achieve its national interests. Through the war, Russia played zero-sum to achieve its national interests, as a balance of power from Western powers, power expansion into the territory of Ukraine, and the power struggle. The armed conflict between the two countries is a challenge that must face by countries around the world, including Indonesia. In response to it, Indonesia used an independent-active principle based on Indonesia's national interests.

Published: August 2023

Good financial management by minimizing findings is determined by the selection of the right model. This study aims to develop a policy formula for financial management patterns with Sharia principles in the Bogor City Regional General Hospital. The qualitative research method uses the decision-making method with Analytic Network Process (ANP) to determine the financial management policy model with Sharia principles. This research was conducted through interviews and focus group discussions. The results obtained show that the Islamic financial management model, in part, has the highest priority with cluster restrictions reaching 0.191007. So that the chosen Islamic financial management formula is financial management with partial Islamic principles. This research provides a new breakthrough regarding the application of Sharia policy. The application of Sharia can be carried out in stages with the Sharia model in advance. This will have an impact on the ease of implementing Sharia because it does not need to be full of all the difficulties. Partial implementation of Sharia is still considered a strong enforcement effort to step up to become perfect Sharia.
Developing Student Affairs as a Profession in Africa
Authors: Wildschut Angelique , Luescher Thierry M.
Published: August 2023

This article discusses the nature of the professionalization of student affairs and services (SAS) in Africa by analyzing the discourses evident and legitimated through the Journal of Student Affairs in Africa (JSAA). The analysis is driven by three research questions: What is the extent of the journal’s engagement with the terms profession, professionalism, professional, and professionalization? How are these terms used in the journal and how do these uses relate to the social justice imperative in SAS? Overall, the analysis shows that the professionalization discourse in JSAA draws strongly on notions that certain professional traits and high-level knowledge and skills must be possessed by SAS personnel for the field to be professionalized. Furthermore, the analysis reflects a stronger social justice discourse than a discourse on SAS as a profession. Finally, this article considers opportunities for a scholarship on the development of SAS as a profession.

Adobe ceremonial o la metáfora del tiempo: reflexiones antropológicas en torno a la mezquita de Djenné en Malí
Authors: Ochoa Rodríguez Daniel
Published: August 2023

Este artículo contiene una disertación sobre el tiempo, no en su dimensión física, sino como elemento social que configura una parte cardinal de la historia, la tradición y la identidad. El estudio de caso es la mezquita de Djenné, pues sus características permiten movilizar diferentes conceptos antropológicos sobre el tiempo. El objetivo principal es indagar sobre la manera como los pobladores de esta ciudad, mientras celebran el acto ceremonial de restauración de la mezquita, construyen un conjunto de símbolos sobre el tiempo que influye en sus relaciones sociales, sus construcciones culturales y sus nociones sobre el paso de la vida. Como referentes principales, recurro a la teoría del eterno retorno de Mircea Eliade, por un lado, y a los planteamientos sociológicos sobre el tiempo de Norbert Elias, por otro. A lo largo del documento se enriquece este debate con diferentes aportes de la lingüística cognitiva y de la filosofía del lenguaje.

Lowering head computed tomography radiation dose for craniosynostosis: An institutional change and review of literature
Authors: Bauerle Luke , Lin Steven , Tucker Cody , Eskandari Ramin
Published: August 2023

Definitive diagnosis of Craniosynostosis (CS) with computed tomography (CT) is readily available, however, exposure to ionizing radiation is often a hard stop for parents and practitioners. Lowering head CT radiation exposure helps mitigate risks and improves diagnostic utilization. The purpose of the study is to quantify radiation exposure from head CT in patients with CS using a ‘new’ (ultra-low dose) protocol; compare prior standard CT protocol; summarize published reports on cumulative radiation doses from pediatric head CT scans utilizing other low-dose protocols. A retrospective study was conducted on patients undergoing surgical correction of CS, aged less than 2 years, between August 2014 and February 2022. Cumulative effective dose (CED) in mSv was calculated, descriptive statistics were performed, and mean ± SD was reported. A literature search was conducted describing cumulative radiation exposure from head CT in pediatric patients and analyzed for ionizing radiation measurements. Forty-four patients met inclusion criteria: 17 females and 27 males. Patients who obtained head CT using the ‘New’ protocol resulted in lower CED exposure of 0.32 mSv ± 0.07 compared to the prior standard protocol at 5.25 mSv ± 2.79 (p < 0.0001). Five studies specifically investigated the reduction of ionizing radiation from CT scans in patients with CS via the utilization of low-dose CT protocols. These studies displayed overall CED values ranging from 0.015 mSv to 0.77 mSv. Our new CT protocol resulted in 94% reduction of ionizing radiation. Ultra-low dose CT protocols provide similar diagnostic data without loss of bone differentiation in CS and can be easily incorporated into the workflow of a children’s hospital.

With increasing demand for oil and gas resources, oil and gas well drilling is performed challenge and harsh environment. One of the drilling campaign challenges facing the oil and gas industry now an issue of lost circulation while drilling. Great strides have been made in understanding and solving this problem. The lost circulation is the most troublesome and costly problem in drilling for oil and gas, Althoughyearly costs in materials, lost time and lost holes reach millions of dollar, no functionally new lost circulation materials or techniques have been developed in the past ten years. However, most products and measures to combat loss of circulation tend to promote specific service businesses. Although many experiment and modelling studies have been conducted over the past three decades, there are still divergent view on the underlying mechanisms of leakage and borehole reinforcement. The purpose of this study was to develop a practical method guide that is generic and not specific to service company products, but also serves as a tecnical guide for drilling crew to avoid lost circulation issues in drilling operation.

Most of netizens are fond of traveling. Though they are interested to travel, majority of them are confused about where to go. Whenever the netizens planed for a travel, they spent hours searching for an interesting place that matches their point of interest. Therefore, there is a need for a recommender system which can recommend several interesting travel venues based on their preferences. Hence, information regarding different users prefers different travel locations are required. In this paper, Google review is used as a reference to divide the users into clusters of similar interests. The data has been divided into six scenarios which consist of the original data, scaled data, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) data, PCA scaled data, MinMax scaled data and Robust scaled data. The distance metric technique is performed in all these scenarios. Minkowski distance metric is used to measure the distance between the data points in the dataset and the elbow method to these scenarios to know the inertia values. This has revealed that the PCA with scaled data has lower distance and inertia value. The K-Means clustering is performed on this PCA-scaled data which divided the data into four different clusters. The results revealed are imperative to build any recommender system based on the users' preference.

PT. SPM is a steel cutting manufacturing company. PT. SPM encountered difficulties during the manufacturing process as a result of the large number of production products classified as defective, particularly flat steel products of the Flat LM type. The company will undoubtedly suffer a loss as a result of the high number of defective products. To reduce the number of defects in manufactured products and to minimize company losses, a study was conducted using the six sigma DMAIC method to ascertain the primary causes of defects and possible improvements. According to the results of the DMAIC analysis, the most prevalent types of defects were dimensional defects that did not match the percentage of 58 percent; non-elbow defects that did not match the percentage of 24 percent; and scratch defects that did not match the percentage of 17 percent. The value of the company's process capability remains less than one (0.776), and the sigma level remains less than six (3.88). There are numerous factors that contribute to defects, including operator negligence, suboptimal machine performance, and an unsupportive work environment. Numerous improvement proposals were made in response to priority issues, including developing SOPs for worker training, developing OPL for the cutting process, and developing machine maintenance checksheets.
