Published: June 2024

Two-phase flow occurs in various industries, as in the production of oil and gas. A collimated gamma-ray densitometer is applied for the study of a static gas-liquid system that simulates a stratified flow pattern. It stands out for its non-intrusive measurement capacity, its high sensitivity to density variations and its good spatial resolution. Chordal phase fraction distributions are obtained in a tube containing water and air at room conditions, with the water level varied between 25%, 50% and 75%. The results obtained highlight the usefulness of the collimated gamma-ray densitometer to determine phase fraction distributions along the pipe’s cross section. Furthermore, this study suggests the use of an artificial neural network (ANN) model for predicting holdup in pipeline systems using a dataset of 110 experimental data points. The ANN model considers factors such as absorbed intensity, water cut percentage, and dimensionless h/D ratio. The adopted configuration includes the use of the Adam solver, Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) activation function, a batch size of 3, two hidden layers (60 neurons each), and a learning rate of 0.001. The model achieves good accuracy, with a minimum mean square error (MSE) of 0.3% and a low mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.028.

The growth, development, and quality of Shade-requiring plants are
inhibited by sunlit stress. However, the molecular mechanism underlying
the response to sunlit stress in A. tsao-ko is remains unknown.
Here, we therefore performed a multi-omics investigation of A.
tsao-ko under sunlit stress to determine the mechanisms underlying
A. tsao-ko adaptability to sunlit stress. Compared to the
control, light conditions increase the density of secretory glands but
decrease the content of chlorophyll, total flavonoids, and total
terpene. The multiomics data shown that the volatile in fruits decreased
and the flavonoids in leaves increased significantly to defend the
strong sunlit. In addition, The RNA sequencing showed that sunlit stress
influenced the secondary metabolism, especially the flavonoid pathway,
is strongly enhanced in A. tsao-ko under sunlit stress. Pearson
correlation coefficient analysis identified the key regulatory gene
chalcone synthase 1 (AmTCHI1), which is key enzyme gene in the
phenylpropane pathway. Moreover, luciferase assays indicated that the
AmTbHLH1 and AmTMYB1 transcription factor binds to the
AmTCHS1 promoter to enhance its transcription in sunlit environment.
These results clarify the role of the phenylpropane pathway, especially
flavonoid metabolism, in the response to sunlit stress in A.
tsao-ko.

A toxicity of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) can affect the functioning of
vital organs, in addition to causing ocular and cardiovascular damage.
This study aims to assess the toxicity of hydroxychloroquine through
electrocorticographic evaluation and blood biochemical parameters in
Wistar rats. The animals were subjected to an HCQ dose of 350mg/kg via
intraperitoneal (i.p) every 12 hours for periods of 24 hours, 48 hours,
72 hours, and 96 hours, with each group containing n=9. After the
treatments, the animals underwent electrocorticogram in the motor
cortex, electrocardiogram, and blood samples were subjected to
biochemical tests for hepatic and renal function. At high doses, HCQ
altered the electrocorticographic trace of the animals, decreased
cardiac activity throughout the treatment, and significantly increased
the values of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine
aminotransferase (ALT). Evaluation of renal function after
administration of high doses of HCQ, as determined by serum creatinine
levels, did not show significant changes. The results indicate that
exposure to high doses of HCQ in rats can alter structures and functions
of vital organs.
Optimal scheduling of boiler electrification for process decarbonization
Authors: Lee Jui-Yuan , Foo Dominic , Chen Cheng-Liang , TAN Raymond
Published: June 2024

Process heat electrification offers the prospect of deep decarbonization
of the process industries. Replacing fossil fuel-fired boilers with
electric ones can reduce carbon emissions if power is supplied from a
grid with a high proportion of renewables. For multinational firms with
plants in multiple locations, the electrification decisions should be
scheduled based on grid carbon intensity projections and coordinated
among these subsidiaries; in addition, carbon credits can be traded
among the multiple sites to allow lagging plants to reduce their carbon
footprints. Here we develop a novel mathematical model to optimize
process heat electrification policies in multinational corporations. The
model determines the optimal timing of electrification at each location,
and also the necessary level of carbon trading within the multinational
firm. An illustrative case study demonstrates how the proposed model can
be used to generate electrification plans that are superior to those
based on simple heuristics.

Published: June 2024

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) play a vital role in advancing the hybrid industry, especially in electric vehicles, as clean and sustainable electrochemical energy sources. However, the prevalent use of organic solvents in the liquid electrolytes of these energy storage systems raises environmental concerns. In this study, we investigated the impact of a polar aprotic solvent, ethylene carbonate (EC), on the structural, dynamic and dielectric properties of the LiF electrolyte using molecular dynamics simulations. By employing the CHARMM 36 force field, our goal was to comprehend the various physicochemical phenomena occurring in this electrolytic system across different temperatures within the saturation region. The structural properties were analyzed through the computation of the radial distribution function (RDF) for various pairs, while the dynamic and dielectric behaviors were elucidated by simulating the self-diffusion coefficient (D) and the dielectric constant (?).

Published: June 2024

Background/Aim. Good metabolic control can delay the onset and progression of chronic complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). Intensified insulin therapy (IIT) is the cornerstone of good metabolic control in the treatment of type 1 DM (T1DM) while avoiding hypoglycemia and body weight (BW) gain in those patients. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of IIT with insulin analogs (aspart and glargine) in T1DM patients. Methods. This prospective clinical study included 49 patients with at least one year of T1DM duration, who were on IIT with human insulin at that moment. They commenced therapy with insulin aspart for three months, followed by insulin glargine for another three months. An analysis of blood glucose (BG) control (glycated hemoglobin ? HbA1c, mean BG, fasting BG, postprandial BG, and glycemic variability) and analysis of BW, hypoglycemia, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were performed. Results. The HbA1c level decreased slightly (non-significantly) after three months of insulin aspart therapy (from 9.28% to 8.83%) and decreased significantly after the aspart/glargine combination (to 8.08%; p < 0.001). After the first three months with aspart therapy, a significant reduction in postprandial BG was noted after all three main meals. The mean postprandial rise of BG was significantly reduced. The variability of daily BG was significantly reduced (standard deviation of BG fell from 2.28 mmol/L to 1.90 mmol/L; p < 0.05). The mean BG value in the profiles decreased (from 9.11 mmol/L to 8.31 mmol/L; p < 0.05). All BG values in the profiles after six months were statistically significantly lower compared to the initial values, as well as the mean BG (6.88 mmol/L; p < 0.001) and the variability of daily BG (1.49 mmol/L; p < 0.01). Our results showed a significant reduction in the number of hypoglycemias after three months, especially after the introduction of insulin glargine therapy (significant reduction in the number of symptomatic, asymptomatic, and nocturnal hypoglycemias). The results showed a discrete but significant reduction in BW and a significant reduction in CRP levels (from 3.43 mg/L to 2.25 mg/L; p < 0.001). Conclusion. Treatment of patients with T1DM with insulin analogs (insulin aspart and insulin glargine) in IIT leads to improved BG control with a reduction in the number of hypoglycemia, BW, and CRP levels.
Impact of COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 hospitalised pneumonia on longer term cardiovascular mortality in people with type 2 diabetes: A nationwide prospective cohort study from Scotland
Authors: J McGurnaghan Stuart , M McKeigue Paul , AK Blackbourn Luke , Mello Joseph , M Caparrotta Thomas , Sattar Naveed , Kennon Brian , McAllister David , Wild Sarah , M Colhoun Helen
Published: June 2024

Objective: This study examines if hospitalised COVID-19 pneumonia increases long-term cardiovascular mortality more than other hospitalised pneumonias in people with type 2 diabetes and aims to quantify the relative cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality risks associated with COVID-19 versus non-COVID-19 pneumonia.

Research Design and Methods: Using the SCI-Diabetes register, two cohorts were identified: people with type 2 diabetes in 2016 and at the 2020 pandemic onset. Hospital and death records were linked to determine pneumonia exposure and CVD deaths. Poisson regression estimated hazard ratios (HR) for CVD death associated with both pneumonia types, adjusted for confounders. The median follow-up was 1461 days (2016 cohort) and 700 days (2020 cohort).

Results and Conclusions: The adjusted HR for CVD death following non-COVID-19 pneumonia was 5.51 (95% CI 5.31-5.71) pre-pandemic and 7.3 (95% CI 6.86-7.76) during the pandemic. For COVID-19 pneumonia, the

HR was 9.13 (95% CI 8.55-9.75). Beyond 30 days post-pneumonia, the HRs converged to 4.24 (95% CI 3.90-4.60), for non-COVID-19 and 3.35 (95% CI 3.00-3.74) for COVID-19 pneumonia, consistent even when excluding prior CVD cases. Hospitalised pneumonia, irrespective of causal agent, marks an increased risk for CVD death immediately and over the long term. COVID-19 pneumonia poses a higher CVD death risk than other pneumonias in the short term, but this distinction diminishes over time. These insights underscore the need for including pneumonia in CVD risk assessments, with particular attention to the acute impact of COVID-19 pneumonia.

Musicking for healthy musical identities is approached as holistic and inclusive, highlighting the integration of social and creative interactions in the concept of musical virtuosity. Implications and examples of the new virtuosity framework for research and practice are discussed, including perspectives on diversification, decolonisation, and widening participation. The paper emphasises “humble” to foreground a fluid interdisciplinary debate, while also stressing the importance of these proposals in the form of a manifesto.
Long-term outcomes of acute kidney injury in acute decompensated heart failure: identifying true cardiorenal syndrome and unveiling prognostic significance
Authors: Thanapongsatorn Peerapat , Tanomchartchai Atiwat , Assavahanrit Jarin
Published: June 2024

Background: Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) type 1 defined as acute kidney injury (AKI) in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), is complicated due to diverse definitions. Recently, a more precise CRS type 1 definition was proposed, mandating concurrent AKI and signs of unimproved heart failure (HF). Our study explores the incidence, predictors, and long-term outcomes of AKI in ADHF under this new definition. Methods: A prospective observation study of ADHF patients categorized into the CRS type 1, pseudo-CRS, and non-AKI groups, followed for 12 months. CRS type 1 involved AKI with clinical congestion, while pseudo-CRS included AKI with clinical decongestion (clinical congestion score <2). The primary outcome was a 1-year composite of mortality or HF rehospitalization. Results: Among 250 consecutive ADHF patients, 46.0% developed CRS type 1; chronic kidney disease (CKD) and blood urea nitrogen were significant risk factors (odds ratios, 1.37; p = 0.002 and OR, 1.05; p < 0.001, respectively). The CRS type 1 group exhibited shorter times to AKI development and peak serum creatinine than the pseudo-CRS group (1 day vs. 4 days and 2 days vs. 4 days, respectively). At 12 months, composite outcomes of mortality or HF rehospitalization and CKD progression were significantly higher in the CRS type 1 group than in the pseudo-CRS and non-AKI groups (63.5% vs. 31.7% vs. 36.1%, p < 0.001; 28.1% vs. 16.2% vs. 11.4%, p = 0.024, respectively). Conclusion: Distinguishing between CRS type 1 and pseudo-CRS is vital, highlighting significant disparities in short-term and longterm outcomes. Notably, pseudo-CRS exhibits comparable long-term cardiovascular and renal outcomes to those without AKI.

Published: June 2024

The lack of parental attention to children's character education makes parents' parenting patterns less than optimal, so children's interest in learning decreases, which causes student learning outcomes not to meet the KKM at school. Therefore, this research aims to partially and simultaneously examine the influence of learning interests and parenting patterns on the economic learning outcomes of class XI students. This type of research is causal research. The population in this research was 107 students, and the sample used was 84 students. Data collection methods using questionnaires and documents were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Hypothesis testing using the t-test and F-test was processed using the SPSS 20.0 for the Windows program. This research shows that interest in learning and parenting patterns partially and simultaneously influence students' social studies learning outcomes, which are expressed at a significance level of 0.000 <0.05. Based on this, it is concluded that formal education must also be balanced with informal education provided by parents through good parenting. This will increase students' interest in learning so that student learning outcomes will improve. This research provides theoretical implications that the solution to increasing student interest in learning and learning outcomes can be done by applying informal education to balance formal education.

Published: June 2024

The stress state of the cylindrical elastic rod is studied under the influence of a uniformly distributed impulse load of rectangular shape applied to the surface. The first convergent wave shows the nature of the change in radial tension over time. The results of the calculations show that, despite the fact that the given load is compressive, after its sudden removal, the stresses in the converging wave become tensile and increase as they move towards the axis of the rod. The problem is investigated using the Laplace transform. The solution is obtained in the form of Fourier-Bessel series, which is converted to asymptotic form (for short time).

Authors:   Kazan State University of Architecture and Engineering, Pimenov S. I.
Published: June 2024

Reliable and complete information about the current construction system can be regarded as the basis for effective management processes. It is assumed that with a more extensive use of information modeling technology, not only at the design stage, but also at the construction stage, the efficiency of the construction production management system (CPMS) will increase. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of the construction information model (CIM) on the effectiveness of the CPMS. It is established that the use of CIM, which provides for a change in the control mode from discrete to continuous, as well as a change in the structural links of the CPMS, will improve both the individual parameters of the CPMS (consistency, flexibility, adaptability, efficiency, reliability) and the integral parameter. Thus, it is possible to increase the efficiency of CPMS when using Building Information Modeling at the construction stage.

El papel de España en las Relaciones entre Europa, Latinoamérica y China: La 'triangulación” imposible
Authors: Ramírez-Ruiz Raúl , Ramos Rovi Mª José
Published: June 2024

Las relaciones con China han cobrado una gran importancia en la política exterior de todos los países a partir del extraordinario crecimiento del gigante asiático desde finales del pasado siglo. Como veremos a lo largo de este trabajo, las relaciones hispano-chinas son asunto prioritario en nuestra política exterior, pero no son exclusivos del siglo XXI. España tiene una larga y vieja historia de sus encuentros con China. Asimismo, ocupa una posición "clave" como puente geográfico y cultural entre el Mar Mediterráneo y el Océano Atlántico, entre Europa y África y entre Europa y América Latina. Además, con esta última región, España posee una comunidad cultural y de intereses. Por tanto, España es el punto central de tres encrucijadas: la histórica, la cultural y la económica, que puede utilizar para compensar su posición periférica respecto a los ejes centrales de la “Iniciativa de la Franja y la Ruta”, y quizás jugar un papel importante en un futuro próximo, a través de lo que en España se llama la “triangulación”, fundamentalmente, con Latinoamérica. Este artículo intenta acercarse de una manera crítica a esa aspiración española de “triangulación” respecto a Europa y la América de lengua española.

¿Rápidos o moderados? Las dos percepciones de la política exterior española hacia la reunificación alemana
Authors: De la Torre Muñoz Rodrigo
Published: June 2024

La política exterior española adoptó una actitud positiva y asertiva ante la reunificación alemana, pero no estaba completamente cohesionada. Mientras que desde la Presidencia del Gobierno y el Ministerio de Economía se promovió una metodología rápida para la unión de las dos Alemanias, desde el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores se discrepó en el ritmo con el que tenía que llevarse a cabo. En su lugar, se inclinó más a favor de una reunificación gradual y regulada debido a la posible desaceleración que podía causarle a la integración europea. No obstante, aunque ambas posiciones derivaban de un pragmatismo institucional, terminó predominando la postura más favorecida por el Presidente del Gobierno, lo cual redundó en un incremento de la presidencialización de la política exterior española

Authors: Dueñas Castrillo Andrés Iván
Published: June 2024

La libertad de expresión ha sido tratada por la jurisprudencia constitucional y europea como uno de los derechos fundamentales sin los cuales no se podría afirmar que estamos realmente ante una sociedad democrática. Sin embargo, en los últimos años la doctrina y asociaciones defensoras de los derechos humanos han llamado la atención acerca de que España está limitando en exceso esta libertad en relación con conductas que, en algunos casos, se han interpretado que cumplen con el tipo de enaltecimiento del terrorismo establecido en el artículo 578 del Código Penal (en adelante, CP).

Consumo sostenible y transición ecológica. La acción normativa de la Unión Europea contra el greenwashing
Authors: San Martín Calvo Marina
Published: June 2024

La sostenibilidad se ha convertido en una prioridad importante de la Unión Europea, debido a la creciente conciencia de los desafíos medioambientales y sociales. Comprometida con un desarrollo que satisfaga las necesidades del presente sin comprometer la capacidad de las generaciones futuras para satisfacer sus propias necesidades, la UE está adoptando un enfoque integral para promover prácticas comerciales sostenibles, con regulaciones, incentivos y políticas que alienten a las empresas a considerar su impacto en el medio ambiente. El presente trabajo estudia el conjunto de medidas implementadas por la Unión Europea en favor del desarrollo sostenible y contra el blanqueo ecológico en el marco del Pacto Verde Europeo, en orden a la consecución de una vida digna para todos dentro de los límites del planeta que concilie la prosperidad económica y la eficiencia, las sociedades pacíficas, la inclusión social y la responsabilidad medioambiental.
En el mundo de entreguerras. La Sociedad de Naciones: una visión desde Europa pensando en Iberoamérica
Authors: Pérez Sánchez Guillermo , Martín de la Guardia Ricardo
Published: June 2024

La creación de la Sociedad de Naciones (SdN) estaba auspiciada por los «Catorce puntos» del presidente Wilson, en concreto en su Punto 14: «Debe crearse por conciertos particulares una unión general de naciones, se suerte que se establezca una seguridad mutua para la independencia política y la intangibilidad territorial de las naciones grandes y pequeñas». Así, la Sociedad de Naciones, salida del Tratado de Versalles en 1919, y que entró en vigor en 1920, venía a sustituir al tradicional sistema de bloques o alianzas, que habían marcado las relaciones internacionales en tiempos pasados, con la finalidad fundamental de preservar la paz y la independencia de las naciones. Pero la SdN nació hipotecada, ya que el país que la había impulsado, los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica, no formó parte de ella. Sin embargo, para los países hispanoamericanos -o iberoamericanos contando a Brasil- fue la gran oportunidad de vincularse a la nueva sociedad internacional en igual de condiciones que las demás naciones del mundo, curiosamente, su vinculación a la SdN coincidía en el tiempo con el primer centenario de sus independencias. La presencia en la SdN de las naciones hispanoamericanas o iberoamericanas (su número ascendió a veinte) le dio un carácter especial, «universal», a la organización ginebrina y marcó indeleblemente el compromiso de estas con la nueva sociedad internacional en el marco de la SdN durante la época de entreguerras hasta el punto de llegar a tener un protagonismo inicial de relevancia en la heredera de la SdN, es decir, en de la Organización de Naciones Unidas (ONU) una vez puesta en marcha después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
La Sociedad de Naciones y América Latina. Chile ante Perú y Bolivia en la primera mitad del siglo XX
Authors: Iglesias Segura Ricardo , Aceituno Silva David
Published: June 2024

Tras la guerra de 1879 que enfrentó a Chile con Perú y Bolivia, se inició un complejo proceso de negociaciones que llevaron a establecer nuevos límites fronterizos y a tratados que sintetizaban los pasos a seguir en años siguientes. Con el paso de los años, algunos de los principios establecidos, por tardanza o incumplimiento, llevaron a estos países a exponer su situación en la recientemente creada Sociedad de las Naciones (1919). En este estudio analizamos las posiciones adoptadas por Chile, considerando los costos y beneficios de ser partícipe de la organización internacional en vista de sus intereses y su relación con el “vecindario”.
Ciclo de viaje de turistas inteligentes: impacto en la satisfacción, la intención de volver y la recomendación del destino turístico
Authors: Bianchi Enrique Carlos , Zanfardini Marina
Published: June 2024

La presente investigación analiza el impacto del turismo inteligente en la satisfacción, intención de volver y recomendación de turistas del mercado emisor de Córdoba, Argentina. Una muestra de 472 encuestados mayores de 18 años que habían viajado en el último año, reveló que el comportamiento turístico inteligente se relaciona con niveles más altos de satisfacción, mayor intención de volver y recomendar el destino. Específicamente, el comportamiento previo al viaje influye positivamente en la satisfacción, intención de volver y recomendación. Durante la estadía, el impacto se observa principalmente en la intención de volver y recomendación. Sin embargo, en la etapa posterior al viaje, el comportamiento turístico inteligente parece no tener un efecto significativo en la lealtad hacia el destino. Estos hallazgos abren nuevas oportunidades para desarrollar tecnologías y servicios turísticos inteligentes que mejoren la experiencia del turista y su relación con el destino.
Antes (1927-28) e depois (1935) da casa modernista da rua Santa Cruz
Authors: Gurgel Ana Paula Campos , Cabral Tamires de Oliveira
Published: June 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar, por meio do aparato teórico-metodológico da Sintaxe Espacial, a configuração interna da casa modernista da Rua Santa Cruz, projetada em 1927 por Gregori Warchavchik (1896-1972), em contraponto com a posterior reforma empreendida em 1935. Construída para sua família, a casa é por muitos considerada o marco inicial da aplicaçãodas novas gramáticas compositivas vanguardistas. Diversos estudos já foram feitos acerca desse projeto, mas acrescenta-se aqui uma nova abordagem buscando ir além das questões da caixa mural, aprofundando-se na espacialidade. A Sintaxe Espacial é uma teoria que visa articular padrões espaciais às apropriações sociais sobrepostas, de modo a correlacionarcomo diferentes qualidades dos espaços – entendidos como um sistema de permeabilidades e barreiras – dependem de diferentes lógicas sociais. Os resultados encontrados demonstram uma rígida separação funcional, onde os espaços de transição oferecem distribuição de fluxos e de controle de acesso entre os ambientes. Em termos da integração visual, a concepção espacial anseia por espaços mais fluidos, especialmente no setor social. Entretanto, pouco se rompe com espaço tradicional da casa brasileira até então: patriarcal, segregado, controlado e profundo. Há, portanto, uma contradição entre o avanço e retrocesso – corroborando os estudos precedentes sobre a plástica do edifício: mesmo que se almeje romper com certas tradições, as amarras culturais, sobrepostas aos espaços domésticos, prevalecem.
Como vai, jovem arquiteto?

Published: June 2024

O capitalismo tem passado por mudanças que alteraram a base material e os mecanismos de controle do trabalho, fenômeno que tem sido denominado nova morfologia do trabalho. Seus reflexos no campo da arquitetura têm recebido pouca atenção do meio acadêmico. Frente a essa lacuna, a presente pesquisa questionou: que traços dessa nova morfologia se manifestam no cotidiano laboral dos jovens arquitetos? Para respondê-la, foram entrevistados 30 jovens arquitetos. A estrutura de análise das respostas foi construída a partir de cinco atributos: flexibilidade, informalidade, captura da subjetividade, impacto na saúde mental e desorganização de classe. Os resultados sugerem a penetração desses atributos no cotidiano laboral dos profissionais que, se não surgiram no atual contexto, encontraram nele terreno fértil para se expandir e justificar. Reconhecemos, entretanto, a existência de formas menos puras (ou híbridas) dessa nova morfologia entre os profissionais entrevistados.

The purpose of the study was an assessment of LiDAR point clouds for automating the mapping of land use and land cover changes, mainly land abandonment and the process of secondary forest succession. Detailed information about land cover was determined based on airborne laser scanning data. The presented study focuses on the analysis of the spatial range and structure of vegetation. The study area was located in Milicz district in the voivodeship of Lower Silesia – the central west part of Poland. The areas of interest were parcels where agricultural land had been abandoned and forest succession processes had progressed. Analysis of the spatial range of the secondary forest succession was carried out using a reclassified nDSM. Reclassification of the nDSM was done using > 1 m, > 2 m and > 3 m for the pixel values, representing the height of vegetation above the ground. Parameters such as height of vegetation, standard deviation of height and cover density were calculated, to show the process of the increase in forest succession on abandoned agricultural land. The results confirmed a discrepancy between the cadastral data and the actual use of the plots. In the study area, more than three times as much forested and wooded area was detected than had been recorded in official databases. Analyses based on airborne laser scanning point clouds indicated significant diversity in the vertical and horizontal structure of vegetation. The results demonstrated gradual succession of greenery in the research area.

Heat shock proteins 70 (Hsp70) are potential thermal stress markers as they play a pivotal role in safeguarding cells against heat shock-induced damage. The Hsp70s are present in several variants with each containing its peculiar importance due to their specific functions such as cell protection during elevated thermal stress. The present investigation evaluated the gene expression profiles of all Hsp70 genes in Glaciozyma antarctica PI12 during a heat wave condition. In this study, we exposed G. antarctica PI12 cells to a realistic heat wave to understand the impacts of the extraordinary, unprecedented heat waves that hit Antarctica at nearly 40°C above the average in 2022. The experiment was carried out through eight days where cells were exposed gradually at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 25 and 30°C. The gene expression profiles were obtained during the simulated heat wave along with non-stressed control treatments by real-time PCR. Out of the six Hsp70 genes in G. antarctica PI12, five were expressed under the conditions tested. Among the expressed genes, gahsp70-1, gahsp70-5, and gahsp70-6 showed significant upregulation. Specifically, their expression levels increased by five- to eightfold after exposure to heat shock at 4°C. Gene expression patterns at 20°C and 30°C also showed induction with the highest at 3.6 folds and 5.8 folds, respectively. These results indicate that the expression of Hsp70 genes in G. antarctica PI12 was inducible under thermal stress, indicating their importance in cells during the heat waves. These results conclude that the gene expression patterns of Hsp70 during heat waves contribute vital information on thermal adaptation in the Antarctic marine ecosystem under climate stress.
