Aristotelia chilensis is a species of native tree from Chile which is located from Limarí province to Aysen province. It is characterized by having a berry-shaped- fruit of a dark violet color, astringent and refreshing, characterized by a significant nutritional value in regards to the content of Vitamin C and antioxidants. At present, its use in Chile is very limited, so that innovative ideas are needed to take advantage of it and spread the nutritional value this native fruit has. Three treatments were designed. The first one belonged to pure maqui jam, the second jam with green apple and the third maqui jam with plum. The jams were subjected to a laboratory analysis of Vitamin C by titration method three times, one to the fresh raw material and to the processed product at 35 and 65 days of being stored, respectively. To have knowledge of its antioxidant benefits, the levels of polyphenol were measured at the same times it was done for Vitamin C. Besides, an evaluation of sensorial attributes such as color, flavor, aroma and texture and of its level of acceptability was conducted by 13 previously trained panelists. The results obtained showed that 44 to 46% of Vitamin C was lost after processing, and that there was no effect regarding one-month storage. Regarding the amount of total polyphenol, there was an increase of it after jams were processed, but with a significant degradation after being stored for one month. In regards to the results of the sensorial evaluations, there was a higher level of acceptability for the pure maqui jam, being observed an intense color, a sweet-sour flavor and a fruity fragrance. It is possible to make maqui jam, keeping its main contribution such as total polyphenol, as well as its presentation as a product with excellent organoleptic properties.

Uso de canabidiol em terapia com cão com distúrbio de ansiedade: relato de caso
Authors: De Lima Gabriella Lucio , Batista Thiago Neves
Published: October 2023

O transtorno de ansiedade em cães, conhecido como Medicina Veterinária Comportamental, está intrinsecamente ligado ao medo excessivo, podendo resultar em respostas exageradas a estímulos específicos. Um exemplo notável desse transtorno é a ansiedade de separação (SAS), que pode ser identificada através da observação dos comportamentos dos cães antes e depois da separação de seus tutores. Buscou-se investigar as manifestações clínicas e a melhora clínica de um Spitz Alemão fêmea de 3 anos diagnosticado com SAS. O diagnóstico foi estabelecido mediante filmagens realizadas por terceiros, anamnese e a aplicação do questionário Canine Behavioral Assessment & Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ). Para o manejo do animal, foram adotadas estratégias de enriquecimento ambiental, uma dieta alimentar diversificada e a administração de óleo de cannabis full spectrum com alto teor de CBD (2%, 1 a 2mg/kg). O uso de Canabidiol (CBD) em cães tem demonstrado a capacidade de reduzir a ansiedade, proporcionando um estado mais calmo, relaxado e menos angustiado. Estudos apontam a relação entre à maior presença de receptores canabinoides no cérebro canino, tornando-os mais sensíveis aos efeitos dos canabinoides. Durante o período de acompanhamento, observou-se uma significativa redução nos sinais clínicos de ansiedade por separação na paciente canina. Os comportamentos excessivamente agitados e a angústia demonstrada anteriormente foram substancialmente diminuídos. Além disso, o uso do CBD não apresentou efeitos adversos significativos. Este estudo ressalta a eficácia do uso do Canabidiol (CBD) como parte do tratamento de cães diagnosticados com ansiedade de separação. Os resultados indicam que o CBD pode ser uma opção terapêutica promissora para melhorar o bem-estar de cães com transtornos de ansiedade, proporcionando uma abordagem mais calma e equilibrada para o manejo desses casos clínicos. No entanto, mais pesquisas são necessárias para compreender completamente os mecanismos subjacentes a esses efeitos e sua aplicabilidade.

The current reform processes of modern school systems have been going on for decades with the aim of implementing inclusive education. Accordingly, modern pedeutological research in recent decades has focused on the study and modeling of the system of professional development of teachers. A professional development teacher represents a long-term and consistent process of developing teacher awareness of what he does, why he does it, but also identifies mechanisms by which he can improve his work and himself personally (Hargreaves & Fullan, 1992; Day, 1999; Kostović, 2003). In this continuous process of development, from primary education and throughout the working life, professional development is a way through which teachers improve their work, progress and expand their roles in the modern school. Professional development in work is seen as a complex, continuous process of acquisition, enrichment and systematic adoption of new knowledge, skills and necessities necessary for the realization of increasingly complex teaching roles. The aim of this paper is to look at the dominant characteristics of professional development (teacher preferences, diversity and representation of certain forms of professional development) from the perspective of teachers themselves. The sample consists of 265 primary school teachers in the Republic of Serbia, Vojvodina province. A questionnaire was constructed for the needs of the research. The results of research on the parameter of participation and experience with numerous forms of professional development show that most teachers have experience with each of the forms of professional development defined by the Rulebook on Continuing Professional Development and Advancement as Teachers, Educators and Professional Associates in the Republic of Serbia (Sl. Glasnik RS, No. 48/2018). The ranking of the prevalence of forms of professional development of teachers in the sample shows that the most common forms are: participation in current school projects and seminars. In assessing the usefulness of certain forms of professional development, all forms are generally highly rated. Teachers, however, find it somewhat more useful to take forms of training with a dominant practical dimension: consultation, exchange of experience or solving current problems with colleagues; attendance at demonstration classes of colleagues and professional and study visits to schools. The final part of the paper emphasizes the importance of the obtained results in the context of contributing to a more purposeful and efficient system of professional development of teachers, its adaptation and revision according to the needs of teachers and achieving quality education for all children.

Published: October 2023

In this study, we design a hybrid BiFeO3/SrTiO3 p–n heterojunction to enhance the photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of the sample. The experimental results reveal that the heterojunction can significantly improve the PEC performance. The optimized BiFeO3/SrTiO3 heterojunction sample shows a photocurrent density of −20.8 μA·cm−2, which is 2.9 times higher than that of the pristine BiFeO3 (−7.2 μA·cm−2). The improvement in PEC performance is attributed to the p–n heterojunction formed between BiFeO3 and SrTiO3, leading to the efficient separation and transport of carriers. Our work provides a promising route to develop the high-performance PEC system.

Clinical significance of MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels as potential biomarkers in patients with breast cancer in Maiduguri – Nigeria
Authors: MUHAMMAD Kashim Ibrahim , DIGE Mohammed Abba , KIDA Zulkifli Hussaini
Published: October 2023

Breast cancer (BC) is a significant public health challenge globally, affecting women of all races and ages. In Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa, BC is the most common cancer among women, with high mortality rates. In BC, a number of MMPs are overexpressed thereby causing tissue disruption and making tumour cell’s capable of invasion and metastasis. IDCA, ILCA and MCA are histological types of BCs that were seen in this study, they are classified into grade 1, 2 and 3 tumours. This present study investigated the expression of Matrix Metalloproteinases -2 and -9 in formalin fixed tissues from BC patients and correlated with some clinico-pathological parameters. Thirty-four (34) BC samples were analysed for the expression of the MMP-2 and -9 genes using real-time qPCR. The data analyses were performed using SPSS. The real-time qPCR results indicated that there was downregulation of MMP-2 in grade -2 cancer samples and upregulation of MMP-9 in both grade-2 and -3 samples when compared to normal breast tissues. MMP-2 and -9 were expressed in all the histological types we found during this study (IDCA – 78.1%, ILCA – 12.5% and MCA – 9.4%). Therefore, this differential regulation of MMP – 2 found during our studies on BC tissues can be an indication of their roles in tumour invasion, also the overexpression of MMP-9 in higher grades might be an indicator in tumour invasion and metastasis. Thus, MMP-2 and -9 are of immense significance to be considered and used as drug targets and diagnostic markers.

Authors: Muharram Arief Purnama , Sajid Fahmi
Published: October 2023

Diabetes mellitus, particularly type-2 diabetes, remains a prevalent health issue, raising concerns due to its associated risk of complications. Among these, cardiovascular complications pose a significant threat, exhibiting high morbidity and mortality rates. Health screening plays a pivotal role in stratifying the risk levels of diabetes patients, facilitating proactive measures to prevent the progression of complications. As such, the primary objective of this study is to develop a predictive model system for assessing cardiovascular risk in diabetes patients. Our study used the Cardiovascular Disease dataset and conducts experiments with various supervised machine learning algorithms, such as Naive Bayes, decision tree, random forest, AdaBoost, and XGBoost. The results reveal that ensemble learning algorithms based on boosting, particularly AdaBoost and XGBoost, outperform other supervised machine learning methods. However, even with the best performance achieved using the dataset, the accuracy stands at 0.71, and the F-1 score is 0.69, which is still acceptable for screening purposes. Although these results provide valuable insights, indicating individuals at higher risk for cardiovascular complications in diabetes, further improvements are needed to enhance early prevention strategies.
Ultrahighand complex nonlinear optical absorption in 2D MXene films
Authors: Moss David
Published: October 2023

As a rapidly expanding family of two-dimensional (2D) materials, MXenes have recently gained considerable attention due to their appealing properties. Here, by developing a solution-based coating method that enables transfer-free and layer-by-layer film coating, we investigate the layer-dependent nonlinear optical absorption of Ti3C2Tx films ‒ an important member of the MXene family. By using the Z-scan technique, we characterize the nonlinear absorption of the prepared MXene films consisting of different numbers of monolayers. The results show that there is a strong and layer-dependent nonlinear absorption behavior, transitioning from revisable saturable absorption (RSA) to saturable absorption (SA) as the layer number increases from 5 to 30. Notably, the nonlinear absorption coefficient β varies significantly within this range, changing from ~7.13 × 102 cm/GW to ~-2.69 × 102 cm/GW. We also characterize the power-dependent nonlinear absorption of the MXene films at various incident laser intensities, and a decreasing trend in β is observed for increasing laser intensity. These results reveal the intriguing layer-dependent nonlinear optical properties of 2D MXene films, highlighting their versatility and potential for implementing high-performance nonlinear photonic devices.
Constrained-MMSE Combining for Spatial Domain Self-Interference Cancellation in Full-Duplex Massive MIMO Systems
Authors: Chen Xuan , Savaux Vincent , Crussière Matthieu , Savelli Patrick , YAO Koffi-Clément
Published: October 2023

This paper deals with a new spatial domain-based self-interference cancellation (SIC) method called constrained minimum mean square error (C-MMSE) for massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) full-duplex (FD) communication systems. The main idea is to treat the self-interference (SI) signal emitted from an FD node as a particular spatial stream arriving at the receiver part of that same FD node which needs to be spatially postcoded along with other useful signals coming from other transmitters, so that it falls into the null space of the MIMO channel that includes the FD node transmitter part as an input. On this basis, we first adapt the expressions of the spatial combiners with respect to the conventional zero forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error combining (MMSE) criteria and show that the latter is not capable to efficiently cancel the SI signal unless an additional constraint is added to properly perform SIC. We hence design the new so-called C-MMSE combiner and derive its expression. In addition to our proposal, the originality of our work lies in the consideration of spherical wave model (SWM) for modeling the SI channel, which is justified by the close proximity of the transmit and receive antenna panels in the FD node.

We examine and compare the SIC performance of the adapted ZF combiner, the adapted MMSE combiner and the newly introduced C-MMSE combiner by evaluating the obtained spectral efficiency (SE). We also highlight the robustness of the SWM-based SI channel modelling compared to conventional planar wave modelling (PWM) and therefore the relevance of using it.

Published: October 2023

Ensuring safety and achieving human-level driving performance remain challenges for autonomous vehicles, especially in safety-critical situations. As a key component of artificial intelligence, reinforcement learning is promising and has shown great potential in many complex tasks; however, its lack of safety guarantees limits its real-world applicability. Hence, further advancing reinforcement learning, especially from the safety perspective, is of great importance for autonomous driving. As revealed by cognitive neuroscientists, the amygdala of the brain can elicit defensive responses against threats or hazards, which is crucial for survival in and adaptation to risky environments. Drawing inspiration from this scientific discovery, we present a fear-neuro-inspired reinforcement learning framework to realize safe autonomous driving through modeling the amygdala functionality. This new technique facilitates an agent to learn defensive behaviors and achieve safe decision making with fewer safety violations. Through experimental tests, we show that the proposed approach enables the autonomous driving agent to attain state-of-the-art performance compared to the baseline agents and perform comparably to 30 certified human drivers, across various safety-critical scenarios. The results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our framework while also shedding light on the crucial role of simulating the amygdala function in the application of reinforcement learning to safety-critical autonomous driving domains.

Introduction

Proton craniospinal irradiation (pCSI) is a treatment option for leptomeningeal disease (LMD), which permits whole neuroaxis treatment while minimizing toxicity. Despite this, patients inevitably experience progression. Adding systemic therapy to pCSI may improve outcomes.

Methods

In this single-institution retrospective case series, we present the feasibility of treatment with pCSI (30Gy, 10 fractions) and an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) in two sequential patients with LMD from melanoma.

Results

The first patient developed LMD related to BRAF V600E-mutant melanoma after prior ICI and BRAF-targeted therapy. After pCSI with concurrent nivolumab, the addition of relatlimab, and BRAF-targeted therapy, he remained alive 7 months after LMD diagnosis despite central nervous system progression. The second patient developed LMD related to BRAF-wildtype melanoma after up-front ICI. He received pCSI with concurrent ipilimumab and nivolumab, then nivolumab maintenance. Though therapy was held for ICI hepatitis, the patient remained progression-free 5 months after LMD diagnosis.

Conclusion

Adding an ICI to pCSI is feasible for patients with LMD and demonstrates a tolerable toxicity profile. While prospective evaluation is ultimately warranted, pCSI with ICI may confer survival benefits, even after prior ICI.

The work is aimed at creating a mathematical model of cryochemical synthesis of nanoforms of pharmaceutical substances. The therapeutic efficacy of pharmaceutical substances largely depends on the size and morphology of the particles. Reducing the particle size of pharmaceutical substances to nanoscale makes it possible to obtain highly effective drugs, which makes it possible to use smaller doses of drugs and, thus, reduce side effects and toxicity. Cryochemical synthesis is one of the most powerful methods for obtaining nanoforms of medicament. The method, which is completely new, is based on sublimation or evaporation of the initial pharmaceutical substance under high vacuum conditions and the introduction of the resulting vapors into an inert gas stream, followed by low-temperature condensation of the flow of molecules of the substance from the gas phase on the cooled surface. The first step in the mathematical modeling of cryochemical synthesis processes is the calculation of the temperature field in the carrier gas flow interacting with the cooled surface. For this purpose, a stationary equation of thermal conductivity with mass transfer is used for the one-dimensional case. We prove existence and uniqueness theorems of the solution. Analytical solutions of the equation for Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin boundary conditions are found.

Word Parts and Language Learning
Authors:   LALS, Victoria University of Wellington, Nation Paul
Published: October 2023

Research with Japanese learners of English (Brown et al., 2020) has shown that Japanese learners of English typically have inadequate knowledge of the word parts of English. Research with other groups of learners also tend to show a wide range of degrees of knowledge of word parts (Laufer & Cobb, 2020; Sasao & Webb, 2017). This lack of knowledge has important implications for vocabulary size and reading in English because a very large proportion of Level 6 word families (Bauer & Nation, 1993) include many family members that contain prefixes and suffixes. Related to this, a large proportion of the tokens in any text are complex words (Nation, 2022), that is, words containing affixes. The study of word parts is called morphology, and occasionally I will use this term and its adjective, morphological, when referring to word parts, largely because first language research on word parts uses the terms morphological awareness and morphological knowledge. Word part knowledge is closely related to vocabulary size, and vocabulary size is closely related to proficiency level. This article looks at this relationship and tries to relate these three factors using the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) levels. Brown et al. (2020)によると、日本人英語学習者は接辞や語根などの単語構成要素(word parts)に関する知識が不十分であるとされている。他の同分野における研究(Laufer & Cobb, 2020; Sasao & Webb, 2017)でも、単語構成要素に関する知識は学習者によって大きく異なることが示されている。こうした知識が欠けていることは、英語における語彙サイズや読む能力に大きな影響を与えることになる。なぜなら、Bauer and Nation (1993)の分類によるレベル6の単語の多くが、接頭辞や接尾辞を含んでいるからである。同様に、どのような文書でもかなりの部分が、接辞を含む複合語であるからだ(Nation, 2020)。こうした単語構成要素に関する学問を「形態論」という。単語構成要素について言及する場合、私はしばしばこの「形態論」やその形容詞形である「形態論的」という言葉を使う。母語における単語構成要素の研究では、「形態論的認識」や「形態素の知識」という言葉を使うからである。単語構成要素に関する知識は語彙サイズと密接な関係があり、語彙サイズは熟達度と密接な関係がある。この論文ではこうした関係を吟味し、CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Language) レベルを用いて、この3つの要素を結び付けることを試みる。

The lack of an effective system of raw material quality assessment during acceptance in the field is the reason for writing this article. The article describes important scientific and practical tasks related to this problem, such as the development of methods of raw material quality control, creation of algorithms of intellectual support for fast and accurate assessment of raw material quality in real time. The authors have analyzed domestic and foreign scientific papers describing approaches and methods for raw material quality control and concluded that the YOLOv5 algorithm and visual transformer are the most suitable for the present study, their combination has not been previously used in the literature. The paper presents the problem statement for the development of an intelligent raw material quality system, description of object detection algorithms, their comparative characterization. The description of the working principle of the one-stage algorithm of object detection in the image YOLOv5 and its advantage over the existing analogs of deep learning methods, which are widely used for object detection, is given. Also presented are the results of neural networks, the task of which is to identify defective raw materials from the total amount stored in a particular railcar and belonging to a particular supplier. An intelligent system for analyzing the quality of bulk raw materials includes cameras located above and to the side of railcars. The quality of raw materials is determined by transferring images from the loading cameras to a neural network for further processing. YOLOv5 algorithm is used to detect the railcar number, which provides accurate detection of railcar number. To determine the percentage of rejected cargo, in the first step, YOLOv5 approach is used to select the image region with cargo and then visualization is applied to detect the percentage of rejected cargo. Implementation of the proposed intelligent system will allow more efficient production management, reduce costs and improve the quality of delivered bulk raw materials.
