Improving pension funds’ performance using data envelopment analysis considering government regulations
Authors: Badrizadeh Maryam , Paradi Joseph C. , Alirezaee Mohammadreza
Published: August 2023

Pension fund managers operate in an investment environment with strict government regulations and a unique taxation system. Also, low birth rates, together with a higher average age of the population and an increase in general life expectancy provide further motivation for investigating pension funds’ performance. Adding to the study by Badrizadeh and Paradi (2020) in which a new model was presented for evaluating pension funds’ performance considering the effects of invisible variables, this study introduces a new methodology based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) which evaluates the pension funds’ performance by considering the importance of different variables based on an expert’s judgements as well as borrowing useful information from the mutual funds’ dataset. Similar variables between pension funds and mutual funds are included. The correlation between mutual fund variables is extracted and tested statistically. Then, these regressions are used to define trade-offs in the pension funds’ model. When these trade-offs and expert’s opinions are added, the results show that the discriminatory power of the DEA increases. Furthermore, three different target levels are defined for inefficient pension plans. This research is applied to Canadian pension funds and mutual funds but could be utilized in similar problems in industry and government
Network Models in Psychosis: A Systematic Review and Nosographic Proposal
Authors: Lopez Mauro Rolando , Ramos Pablo Gaspar , Gleiser Pablo M
Published: August 2023

Introduction: In recent years, an interesting synergy has emerged
between neuroscience and network science, offering a fresh perspective
on the understanding of neuropsychiatric disorders. While psychotic
symptoms can manifest across a wide range of pathologies, their
diagnosis relies only on clinical presentation. In this context, the
integration of network neuroscience holds promise in providing valuable
tools to enhance accuracy when identifying and characterizing psychotic
disorders. Methodology: To comprehensively investigate network models
that provide insights into the development of psychotic symptoms from a
transdiagnostic perspective, we carried out a systematic review using
the PRISMA methodology. The review was conducted using different search
strategies on the Pubmed database. Results:24 articles were selected and
summarized in the following sections: “Excitation-Inhibition
Imbalance” with its two models, the “Triple Network Model” and the
“Circular Belief Propagation Model”; the “Neurocomputational Model of
Cortical Information Processing”; and “Social Cognition Network
Model”. Conclusions: Four pathophysiological mechanisms are proposed
for the development of psychosis: the “Excitation-Inhibition
Imbalance”, the “Alteration of Self-other Distinction”, the
“Failures in the Orthogonalization of Memories”, and the
“Attributional Biases”. Based on this synthesis, the study aims to
investigate the emergence of psychotic symptoms by examining the
potential mechanisms involved.
A double sulfonated mesoporous polydivinylbenzene as a catalyst for the condensation of phenol and cyclohexanone
Authors: Wei Ning , Guo Li , Wang Dan , Chen Tong , Wang Gongying
Published: August 2023

As an excellent substitute for Bisphenol-A, Bisphenol-Z is obtained by
the condensation of phenol and cyclohexanone under acid catalysis. In
this paper, sulfonated mesoporous polydivinylbenzene was prepared by
different sulfonation methods and then as a solid acid to catalyze the
condensation of phenol and cyclohexanone. The physicochemical properties
of the solid acid were characterized by FT-IR, BET, SEM and acid base
titration, then the structure-activity relationship of the solid acid
was studied. The acid base titration results showed that the acid
density of mesoporous polydivinylbenzene solid acid prepared by double
sulfonation (D-SPDVB) was the highest, reaching 4.62 mmol H+/g. The
catalytic results showed that D-SPDVB had better catalytic performance
than sulfuric acid, Amberlyst-15 and other traditional Brønsted acids
due to its high acid density and suitable pore structure. More
importantly, D-SPDVB had good stability, and its catalytic performance
did not decrease significantly after reused 5 times.
The application of all-inorganic solid base materials in heterogeneous catalysis: A mini review
Authors: Zuo Zhixuan , Sha Yuchen , Wang Peng , Da Zhi-Jian
Published: August 2023

Acids and bases generally occur in pairs as concepts, and numerous
catalytic reactions can be considered as interactions between them. Many
reactions are a combination of acid- and base-catalyzed processes, so it
is particularly important to understand the mechanisms from acid-base
synergy or acid-base interactions. Compared to the wide research on acid
catalysts, there is a relative lack of research on solid bases. In
addition to the application of basic materials to non-petroleum
processes, recent studies have also applied them to the catalytic
cracking reaction of heavy oils, providing new ideas for the heavy oils
refining. Thus, this paper summarizes the progress of the main types of
all-inorganic solid base catalysts, including the types of catalysts
used in non-petroleum processes and petroleum processes, preparation,
the properties of basic sites and their catalytic role in the reactions,
and provides an outlook on the future research of all-inorganic solid
base materials.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Localization Using Angle of Departure from a Single Base Station and Dead-Reckoning
Authors: Rajasekaran Akash , Meles Mehari , Virrankoski Reino , Jäntti Riku
Published: August 2023

Localization in GNSS-denied environments for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(UAVs) has recently gained significant interest from the research
community. Most of the research is focused primarily on visual
localization. This paper, examines an algorithm which employs Angle of
Departure (AoD) and UAVs payload sensor data for UAV localization. First
the algorithm uses multiple AoDs from a single base station and a travel
calculated by applying dead-reckoning on the UAVs Inertial Measurement
Unit (IMU), to compute UAV location in two-dimensional (2D) coordinates.
The 2D location estimate is then fed into a modified Extended Kalman
Filter (EKF), which employs the estimate, IMU and barometer data to
compute the three-dimensional (3D) coordinates for UAV. For the
simulation, we applied Simulation-in-the-Loop (SITL) accompanied by
Arducopter and MAVLink to simulate different trajectories and collect
the required data for the algorithm. We validated our algorithm by
comparing the EKF estimates with IMU dead-reckoned positions. Three
simulations were performed, consisting of linear, zigzag and curved
trajectories. We achieved a 90th percentile error of 2.5m and 4m for the
x-coordinate and y-coordinate, respectively, on the zigzag and curved
trajectories. Interestingly, the linear trajectory showed a larger
localization error in its y-coordinate.
Improve predictive maintenance through the application of artificial intelligence: A systematic review
Authors: D Anthony Scaife
Published: August 2023

Facility operations and maintenance are defined as the functions,
duties, and labor required daily to operate and preserve a facility
asset to ensure its original function is available for its primary use
and its operations are maintained throughout the facility’s life.
Organizations, facility management professionals, and their stakeholders
expend billions of dollars annually to perform this function in the
United States. Much of the cost is on inadequate facility operations
that may be avoided. This rapid evidence assessment used the theoretical
lens of the adaptive structuration theory and reviewed the current body
of scholarly literature to identify how artificial intelligence is used
with predictive maintenance to reduce a facility operations program’s
operations and maintenance costs. Through an organized systematic review
process, this research shall utilize peer-reviewed scholarly articles
published within the last five years to perform a rapid evidence
assessment of predictive maintenance and artificial intelligence in
facility operations. Through this rapid evidence assessment, the
research finds three common themes that respond to the research
question. The most significant theme is artificial intelligence, once
implemented in the process, provides unbiased investment and repair
recommendations from the analyzed data. An unanticipated discovery of
interest is that the current body of literature identifies insufficient
data as the number one barrier to the full implementation of artificial
intelligence within a facility operations program.

Published: August 2023

Prior studies found hand preference trajectories predict preschool
language outcomes. However, this approach has been limited to examining
bimanual manipulation in toddlers. It is not known whether hand
preference during infancy for acquiring objects (i.e., reach-to-grasp)
similarly predicts childhood language ability. The current study
explored this motor-language developmental cascade in 90 children. Hand
preference for acquiring objects was assessed monthly from 6 to 14
months and language skill was assessed at 5 years. Latent class growth
analysis identified three infant hand preference classes: left, early
right, and late right. Infant hand preference classes predicted 5-year
language skills. Children in the left and early right classes, who were
categorized as having a consistent hand preference, had higher
expressive and receptive language scores relative to children in the
inconsistent late right class. Consistent classes did not differ from
each other on language outcomes. Infant hand preference patterns
explained more variance for expressive and receptive language relative
to previously reported toddler hand preference patterns, above and
beyond socioeconomic status (SES). Results suggest that hand preference,
measured at different time points across development using a trajectory
approach, is reliably linked to later language.
Pretreatment computed tomography-defined sarcopenia, treatment-associated muscle loss and survival in cervical cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Jin Xin , Tian Mengxing , Wang Huifen , Dai Zhu , Ding Chenchen , Guo Huan
Published: August 2023

Background: Sarcopenia has been identified as a predictor of
poor prognosis in various types of cancer. However, the impact of
pretreatment sarcopenia and the reduction of skeletal muscle mass during
treatment on prognosis of patients with cervical cancer is still not
well-understood. Objectives: To investigate the association
between sarcopenia and prognosis in patients with cervical cancer.
Search Strategy: Studies in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and
Cochrane databases were searched. Selection Criteria: Studies
exploring the relationship between computed tomography (CT)-defined
sarcopenia and the prognosis of cervical cancer were included.
Data Collection and Analysis: Our primary outcome was overall
survival (OS), secondary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS).
The pooled hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of OS and
PFS were analyzed by R software. The studies’ quality was assessed using
the Quality in Prognostic Studies tool. Main Results: 12
studies involving 1593 patients with cervical cancer were included in
the analysis, with a prevalence of sarcopenia ranging from
24.8%-55.0%. Meta-analysis results showed that sarcopenia was an
independent predictor of poor OS (HR 1.70, 95% CI = 1.31-2.22; p
<0.01) and PFS (HR 1.35, 95% CI = 1.04-1.74; p =0.02) in
patients with cervical cancer. Skeletal muscle loss during treatment was
significantly associated with a short OS time (HR, 4.00; 95%
CI=2.63–6.08, p <0.01). Conclusions: The prevalence
of pretreatment sarcopenia was high among patients with cervical cancer.
Pretreatment sarcopenia and loss of skeletal muscle during the treatment
all had a negative effect on the prognosis in cervical cancer.
Climatologial analysis of urban heat island effects in Swiss cities
Authors: Canton Jacopo , Dipankar Anurag
Published: August 2023

This work presents a high-fidelity spatiotemporal analysis of the urban
heat island (UHI) effect in Swiss cities during the last six years. The
entire alpine country is simulated at once using the COSMO model at 1.1
km resolution, validated against a dense national measurement network.
Additionally, the bulk parametrisation
TERRA\textunderscore URB is used to model the dynamical
and thermal effects of urban areas. The resulting data allows us to
perform the first comprehensive analysis over the entire Switzerland,
with a focus on the urban heat island effect with intra-urban and across
cities comparisons, and to report on the current state of urban warming.
Despite the medium-small size of the cities, the UHI is of considerable
magnitude especially when considering peak values in ideal weather
conditions. The present results confirm previous analyses performed for
individual cities, and shed new light on the country-wide picture by
highlighting features such as the marked seasonality of the UHI
intensity as well as the influence of local climate and topographical
features on the urban climate. A thorough discussion is also presented
highlighting the absence of simple relationships between UHI intensity
and bulk city parameters and weather patterns.

Published: August 2023

Effective flash flood forecasting and risk communication are imperative
for mitigating the impacts of flash floods. However, the current
forecasting of flash flood occurrence and magnitude largely depends on
forecasters’ expertise. An emerging
flashiness-intensity-duration-frequency (F-IDF) product is anticipated
to facilitate forecasters by quantifying the frequency and magnitude of
an imminent flash flood event. To make this concept usable, we develop
two distributed F-IDF products across the contiguous US, utilizing both
a Machine Learning (ML) approach and a physics-based hydrologic
simulation approach that can be applied at ungaged pixels. Specifically,
we explored 20 common ML methods and interpreted their predictions using
the Shapley Additive exPlanations method. For the hydrologic simulation,
we applied the operational flash flood forecast framework – EF5/CREST.
It is found that: (1) both CREST and ML depict similar flash flood hot
spots across the CONUS; (2) The ML approach outperforms the CREST-based
approach, with the drainage area, air temperature, channel slope,
potential evaporation, soil erosion identified as the five most
important factors; (3) The CREST-based approach exhibits high model bias
in regions characterized by dam/reservoir regulation, urbanization, or
mild slopes. We discuss two application use cases for these two
products. The CREST-based approach, with its dynamic streamflow
predictions, can be integrated into the existing real-time flash flood
forecast system to provide event-based forecasts of the frequency and
intensity of floods at multiple durations. On the other hand, the
ML-based approach, which is a static measure, can be integrated into a
flash flood risk assessment framework for urban planners.
A CloudSat and CALIPSO-based evaluation of the effects of thermodynamic instability and aerosol loading on Amazon Basin deep convection and lightning

Published: August 2023

The Amazon Basin, which plays a critical role in the carbon and water
cycle, is under stress due to changes in climate, agricultural
practices, and deforestation. The effects of thermodynamic and
microphysical forcing on the strength of thunderstorms in the Basin
(75-45° W, 0-15° S) were examined during the pre-monsoon season
(mid-August through mid-December), a period with large variations in
aerosols, intense convective storms, and plentiful flashes. The analysis
used measurements of radar reflectivity, ice water content (IWC), and
aerosol type from instruments aboard the CloudSat and CALIPSO
satellites, flash rates from the ground-based STARNET network, and total
aerosol optical depth (AOD) from a surface network and a meteorological
re-analysis. After controlling for convective available potential energy
(CAPE), it was found that thunderstorms that developed under dirty
(high-AOD) conditions were 1.5 km deeper, had 50% more IWC, and more
than two times as many flashes as storms that developed under clean
conditions. The sensitivity of flashes to AOD was largest for low values
of CAPE where increases of more than a factor of three were observed.
The additional ice water indicated that these deeper systems had higher
vertical velocities and more condensation nuclei capable of sustaining
higher concentrations of water and large hydrometeors in the upper
troposphere. Flash rates were also found to be larger during periods
when smoke rather than dust was common in the lower troposphere, likely
because smoky periods were less stable due to higher values of CAPE and
AOD and lower values of mid-tropospheric relative humidity.
Quantifying uncertainties in the quiet-time ionosphere-thermosphere using WAM-IPE
Authors: Zhan Weijia , Doostan Alireza , Sutton Eric K , Fang Tzu-Wei
Published: August 2023

This study presents a data-driven approach to quantify uncertainties in
the quantities of interest (QoIs), i.e., electron density, plasma
drifts, and neutral winds, in the ionosphere-thermosphere (IT) system
due to varying solar wind parameters (drivers) during quiet conditions
(Kp$<$4) and fixed solar radiation and lower atmospheric
conditions representative of March 16th, 2013. Ensemble simulations of
the coupled Whole Atmosphere Model with Ionosphere Plasmasphere
Electrodynamics (WAM-IPE) driven by synthetic solar wind drivers
generated through a multi-channel variational autoencoder (MCVAE) model
are obtained. The means and variances of the QoIs, as well as the
sensitivities of the QoIs with respect to the drivers, are estimated by
applying the polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) technique. Our results
highlight unique features of the IT system’s uncertainty: 1) the
uncertainty of the IT system is larger during nighttime; 2) the spatial
distributions of the uncertainty for electron density and zonal drift at
fixed local times present 4 peaks in the evening sector which is
associated with the low density regions of longitude structure of
electron density; 3) the uncertainty of the equatorial electron density
is highly correlated with the uncertainty of the zonal drift, especially
in the evening sector, while it is weakly correlated with the vertical
drift. A variance-based global sensitivity analysis is further
conducted. Results suggest that the IMF Bz plays a dominant role in the
uncertainty of the electron density when IMF Bz is 0 or southward, while
the solar wind speed plays a dominant role when IMF Bz is northward.

Published: August 2023

Hypopigmented mycosis fungoides is a rare form of mycosis fungoides that is characterized by achromic lesions, early onset of disease, a predilection for darker skinned populations, and a predominance of CD8+ T cells. Due to the rarity and heterogeneous presentation of hypopigmented mycosis fungoides, there are no criteria that clearly define the clinical characteristics and treatment regimens for this condition. This retrospective study of 44 paediatric patients with hypopigmented mycosis fungoides aimed to summarize their epidemiological and clinical characteristics and assess the effectiveness and safety of different treatment regimens. Clinical manifestations were further classified into 3 morphological groups: hypopigmented lesions, papules overlying hypopigmented lesions, and erythematous plaques overlying hypopigmented lesions. In addition, the results of this study suggest that interferon alpha might be an effective and well-tolerated therapy that could shorten the treatment time to complete response compared with other treatments. Maintenance therapy and long-term follow-up reduced the recurrence rate.
Psychopathology Associated with Chronic Pruritus: A Systematic Review
Authors: Ferreira Bárbara R. , Misery Laurent
Published: August 2023

There are no previous studies of the psychopathology associated with different aetiologies of chronic pruritus. A systematic review was performed of cohort and case-control studies comparing healthy controls with patients with chronic pruritus related to primary dermatoses, systemic diseases, psychogenic pruritus, idiopathic pruritus, prurigo nodularis and/or lichen simplex chronicus. The review was registered in PROSPERO and performed according to the PRISMA statement, which allowed the inclusion of 26 studies. The quality of eligible studies was assessed using the modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Most of the studies concern primary dermatoses and systemic diseases. Sleep disorders are a common comorbidity interrelated with pruritus, anxiety and depressive symptoms, in primary dermatoses. Sleep disorders are linked with pruritus and depressive symptoms in end-stage renal disease and hepatobiliary disease. Depressive and anxiety symptoms are associated with psychogenic pruritus. Psychogenic pruritus, lichen simplex chronicus and some primary dermatoses are linked with personality characteristics. Further studies are required to explore in depth the psychopathology linked with psychogenic pruritus and prurigo nodularis, as well as psychopathology linked with other primary dermatoses and systemic disorders associated with chronic pruritus, and to better differentiate psychogenic pruritus from psychopathological characteristics linked with other aetiologies of chronic pruritus, in order to improve the management of patients with chronic pruritus.

Published: August 2023

The epitaxial growth of coarse and columnar grain structures along the build direction of additive manufactured metals is a usual phenomenon. As a result, as-built components often exhibit pronounced anisotropic mechanical properties, reduced ductility, and, hence, a high cracking susceptibility. To enhance the mechanical properties and processability of additive manufactured parts, the formation of equiaxed and fine grained structures is thought to be most beneficial. In this study, the potential of grain refinement by ultrasonic excitation of the melt pool during laser wire additive manufacturing has been investigated. An ultrasound system was developed and integrated in a laser wire deposition machine. AISI 316L steel was used as a substrate and feedstock material. A conversion of coarse, columnar grains (dm = 284.5 μm) into fine, equiaxed grains (dm = 130.4 μm) and a weakening of typical <100>-fiber texture with increasing amplitude were verified by means of light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction analysis. It was demonstrated that the degree of grain refinement could be controlled by the regulation of ultrasound amplitude. No significant changes in the dendritic structure have been observed. The combination of sonotrode/melt pool direct coupling and the laser wire deposition process represents a pioneering approach and promising strategy to investigate the influence of ultrasound on grain refinement and microstructural tailoring.

Применяя методы анализа, синтеза, сопоставления и дискурсивного анализа, автор рассматривает семантические особенности придаточных конструкций с союзом if и обосновывает риторические (дискурсивные) функции данных конструкций в письменном судебном дискурсе. Такие конструкции вводят: 1) пропозициональные ответы на вопросы, связанные с толкованием юридических норм; 2) цитирование; 3) расширение ситуации. Предложенная классификация указывает на свойственную судебному дискурсу внутреннюю диалогичность. Таким образом, указанные функции конструкций демонстрируют, как юридический контекст преобразуется в процесс дискурсивного взаимодействия автора и косвенных (подразумеваемых) участников анализируемой в судебном деле ситуации. Рассмотренные конструкции также являются средствами проспективного взаимодействия автора и читателя текста. Предложенный автором подход объединяет синтаксический и прагматический уровни функционирования судебного дискурса, что позволяет получить более полное представление о лингвопрагматических характеристиках письменного судебного дискурса.

The paper aims to demonstrate inner dialogical nature of the written English judicial discourse using the analysis of the semantic and functional role of if-clauses in the context of law reports. To that end the author invokes the methods of linguistic analysis and synthesis, comparative method and means of discourse analysis and reveals that the rhetorical functions of if-clauses can be divided into the following: 1) they support and introduce propositional answers to the questions regarding legal construction and interpretation; 2) they are part of citations; 3) modification (extension) of the situation in question. These functions appear to be the determinants of the inherent dialogical nature of written judicial discourse. In other words, if-clauses allow for the transformation of the existing legal context into a discursive process maintained by the writer, the reader and the relevant (implied) parties. Thus, the author asserts that the rhetorical model of law reports is that of an inner dialogue. By accepting this model we also accept that the writer of the text expresses their rhetorical aims and achieves them using various linguistic means. Those means build up the discursive interaction within the written judicial discourse which is translated by means of prospection and distancing. The proposed approach integrates syntactic and pragmatic levels of judicial discourse functioning, which allows for a more nuanced examination of the written legal discourse and its inherent linguistic and pragmatic characteristics.

Authors: Ладыжникова Т.Д. , Ладыжникова В.И.
Published: August 2023

Авторы рассматривают и обсуждают важнейшие вопросы национального проекта Министерства просвещения «Образование» (2019–2024 гг.) по модернизации педагогического образования, ставящего целью личностно-ориентированный подход за счет внедрения новых образовательных технологий, обновления содержания, повышения мотивации к обучению и вовлеченности обучающихся в образовательный процесс. Обучение иностранному языку студентов неязыковых специальностей педагогических вузов направлено на иноязычную повседневную и профессионально-ориентированную коммуникацию, тесно связано с интеграцией иностранного языка и профилирующих дисциплин, отражает основные черты современной системы образования. Авторы считают эффективной и перспективной в иноязычном образовании технологию смешанного обучения, имеющую высокий дидактический потенциал. Это ставит задачу создания ее системно-интегративной модели. Ключевые слова: трансформация педагогического образования, инновации, иноязычное образование, смешанное обучение, системно-интегративный подход

The article considers and discusses the most important issues of the National Education Project (2019–2024) on the modernization of teacher education, which aims at a personality-oriented approach through the introduction of new educational technologies, updating content, increasing motivation for learning and involvement of students in the educational process. Teaching a foreign language at non-linguistic faculties of pedagogical universities is aimed at daily foreign language and professionally-oriented communication, is closely connected with the integration of a foreign language and core disciplines, and reflects the main features of the modern education system. The authors consider the technology of blended learning to be effective and promising in foreign language education at non-linguistic faculties, having a high didactic potential, which sets the task of developing its system-integrative model.
Phraseological units with the component blokadnyi (blockade) in the latest world picture
Authors: Бодрова Е.В.
Published: August 2023

Статья посвящена проблемам фразеологизации как процесса закрепления в узусе сверхсловных выражений. Объектом анализа становится отобранная автором в современной речевой практике совокупность устойчиво воспроизводимых сверхсловных единиц с компонентом блокадный, являющихся вербализаторами национально-специфичного концепта «Блокада». Вновь образующиеся единицы свидетельствуют об изменении структуры концепта и возрастании его специфичности. Отмечается, что большая часть рассмотренных единиц образуется по устойчивой модели. Особое внимание уделено вопросу вариативности в области фразеологии.

The article focuses on the problems of phraseologization as the inclusion of supra-word expressions into usage. The object of analysis is supra-word set units with the blokadnyi (blockade) component, which are verbalizers of the national specific concept "Blockade", selected by the author in modern speech practice. The newly formed units testify to a change in the concept structure and an increase in its specificity. The author highlights that the majority of the considered units are formed according to a stable model. Particular attention is paid to the question of variability in the field of phraseology.
Instagram Kullanımı, Nesneleştirme ve Kilo Damgalaması: Korelatif ve Deneysel Bir Çalışma
Authors: Şahin Merve Nur , Abayhan Yasemin
Published: August 2023

Bu çalışmanın amacı, 18 ve 25 yaş aralığındaki üniversite öğrencilerinin Instagram kullanımları ile kendini nesneleştirme, diğerlerini nesneleştirme ve kilo damgalaması düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Alanyazındaki sosyal medya konulu çalışmaların çoğunlukla korelatif çalışmalar oldukları ve bu nedenle neden-sonuç çıkarımına imkân sağlamadıkları görülmüştür. Bu eksikliği gidermek amacıyla mevcut çalışmada hem korelatif hem de deneysel yöntemler kullanılmıştır. Biri korelatif (N=104) ve ikisi deneysel (sırasıyla N=70 ve N=80) olmak üzere üç çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. İlk çalışmada katılımcıların günlük Instagram kullanım sıklıkları, kendini nesneleştirme, diğerlerini nesneleştirme ve kilo damgalaması düzeyleri incelenmiştir. Instagram kullanım sıklığı arttıkça kendini nesneleştirme ve diğerlerini nesneleştirme düzeylerinin de arttığı görülmüştür. İkinci ve üçüncü çalışmalarda ise katılımcılar, seçkisiz olarak atandıkları gruplarda farklı Instagram fotoğraflarına maruz bırakılmışlar (idealize beden, şişman beden ve uzay) ve bunun kendini nesneleştirme (Çalışma 2), diğerlerini nesneleştirme (Çalışma 3) ve kilo damgalaması düzeylerine olan etkisi incelenmiştir. Bulgulara göre Instagram fotoğraflarına maruz kalmak, diğerlerini nesneleştirme ve kilo damgalaması düzeylerinde bir fark yaratmazken, kendini nesneleştirme düzeyini düşürmüştür. Farklı fotoğraflara maruz kalmak ise gruplararası fark yaratmamıştır. Çalışma bulguları ilgili alanyazın çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır.
Antioxidant and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitory Activity of Cereal Grain
Authors: Khatun Soyema
Published: August 2023

Phenolic compounds are important products from secondary metabolism in plants. These cannot be synthesized in the human body and are mainly taken from plant source. Cereal grains are important sources of dietary polyphenols. Phenolic compounds are the main source of antioxidant that reduces the incidence of chronic diseases including heart disease, blood cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetic etc. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are medications that help to relax the veins and arteries to lower blood pressure. The aim of this experiment was to study the phenolic compounds identified in eight cereal grain (white rice, viscosity rice, brown rice, black rice, sticky rice, oatmeal, millet and sorghum) with their antioxidant and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity level. The phenolic content determined according to the Folin Ciocalteu’s method. Black rice contains maximum phenolic compound (94.90 mg Tannic acid equivalent/g of extract) that was statistically different from other cereal grains (p<0.05) but followed by oatmeal and sorghum (58.82 and 58.57 mg Tannic acid equivalent/g of extract respectively). Antioxidant activities were comparatively assessed by ABTS (2, 2′-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) free radical decolorization assay method. It was observed that maximum cereal grain has no antioxidant activity. Among eight cereal grain, only black rice, oatmeal and sorghum showed considerable free radical scavenging capacity by ABTS radical. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition rate was determined by using L-hippuryl-histidyl-leucine (HHL). Maximum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity was also found in black rice (66.80%) followed by oatmeal (48.62%) and sorghum (37.45%). It might be concluded that polyphenol content was closely related to antioxidant activity and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor activity. Black rice, oatmeal and sorghum can be used as functional food for their high phenolic content, antioxidant activity as well as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity against chronic diseases.
