Riqueza y densidad de equinodermos en los arrecifes rocosos de Punta Amapala, El Salvador
Authors: Figueroa Segovia Laura Liseth , Segovia-Prado Johanna
Published: March 2024

Introducción: Los equinodermos son animales estrictamente acuáticos y de los grupos de invertebrados marinos cuya importancia ecológica es crucial para los ambientes en donde habitan. La característica más destacada es su simetría pentarradial. Estos organismos pueden distribuirse en una amplia variedad de ambientes oceánicos, y no ser exclusivamente habitantes de las formaciones arrecifales. Se han registrado el total de 1 539 especies, de las cuales 717 pertenecen a Pacífico y 60 de ellas se han registrado en El Salvador.

Objetivo: El objetivo del trabajo fue registrar la riqueza y densidad de especies de equinodermos en arrecifes rocosos de Punta Amapala (La Unión).

Métodos: El muestreo fue llevado a cabo en cinco sitios, dos a 3 m de profundidad y tres a 6 m. Para esto, se utilizó snorkeling y buceo autónomo, recorriendo dos transectos de banda de 30 x 1 m. Dentro de los transectos, se realizó la identificación (riqueza) y contabilización (abundancia) de los organismos.

Resultados: La especie que presentó mayor densidad en los arrecifes de 3 m fue Echinometra vanbrunti (0.83 indv/m2), seguido por el ofiuroideo Ophiocomella alexandri (0.16 indv/m2) y Ophiocoma aethiops (0.16 indv/m2). Y en los arrecifes a 6 m fueron Ophiothela mirabilis (0.83 indv/m2), Ophionereis annulata (0.21 indv/m2), Ophiothrix rudis (0.08 indv/m2) y Ophiocomella alexandri (0.01 indv/m2).

Conclusiones: Estos organismos, cumplen con diversos roles ecológicos, como ser bioindicadores de calidad de agua al tolerar ciertos cambios en las condiciones físico-químicas, así como cumplir el papel de hospederos de macrofauna por las cavidades que forman algunos erizos. Es por ello que los esfuerzos de muestreo deben incrementarse en estas zonas para monitorear la calidad y salud de los arrecifes rocosos, cuyo papel es clave, por ser junto con Los Cóbanos, los de mayor extensión en el país.
Study of histopathology on Arbacia lixula (Arbaciidae: Arbacioida) and Paracentrotus lividus (Parachinidae: Camarodonta) with bald sea urchin disease symptoms in Gran Canaria Island, Spain

Published: March 2024

Introduction: Sea urchin diseases have been documented in several locations worldwide, with reported occurrences of bacterial, protozoan, fungal, and algal infections.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate pathogen agents in populations of Arbacia lixula and Paracentrotus lividus along the coast of Gran Canaria Island (Central-East Atlantic, Spain).

Methods: Sampling was conducted at San Cristobal beach, on the Northeast side of the island, where sea urchins were manually collected from depths of 1-3 m during June, July, and October 2022. Swab samples were taken from the external and internal areas of the lesions and cultured on various media plates.

Results: Eight different pathogen agents, including bacteria and fungi, were identified, with Vibrio alginolyticus being the most frequently observed bacteria in all diseased sea urchin samples. Additionally, ciliated protozoans were found within the tests, potentially acting as opportunistic parasites.

Conclusions: This research provides a unique perspective on bald sea urchin disease by identifying a significant number of associated pathogens, including Candida, previously unreported in diseased organisms. Furthermore, the study highlights the presence of an inflammatory response in tissues with bacterial colonies, offering crucial insights into understanding this sea urchin disease.
Does the righting behaviour effectively reflect stress in Arbacia dufresnii Arbacioida: Arbaciidae)?
Authors: Chaar Florencia , Rubilar Tamara , Crespi-Abril Augusto C.
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Righting behaviour has been used as a health indicator in response to stressor variables. Using this parameter in aquaculture could help to reduce mortality and improve welfare in the sea urchin Arbacia dufresnii culture.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sex, diameter, and three stressor factors on the righting behaviour of the sea urchin A. dufresnii.

Methods: A total of 300 animals were evaluated for complete righting behaviour (CRB) time, with 100 of them also recording half righting behaviour (HRB) time. Three stressors were applied to the animals: serial repetitions (three successive turnings), temperature (24-hour shock), and spawning induction with KCl injection. A stopwatch was used to record the time, and a precision calliper was used to measure the diameter.

Results: Righting time was discovered to be diameter dependent but sex independent. The upper temperature limit of 19 °C had a significant effect on righting behaviour compared to 16 °C and 13 °C with CRB times up to 150 seconds.  Serial repetitions and spawning had no significant effect. However, based on the recorded times, it can be deduced that spawning had an effect on the health of the animals, with CRB times of up to 150 seconds compared to the control, with lower times.

Conclusions: Complete righting behaviour appears to be an optimal indicator for evaluating the health and condition of the sea urchin A. dufresnii, but more tests would be performed to confirm the effect of the control treatment on post-spawning stress.

‘Opening up’ Corpus Linguistics
Authors: Le Foll Elen
Published: March 2024

Despite a multitude of empirical studies pointing to the benefits of integrating corpora in second language (L2) teaching and learning, corpus use in the pre-tertiary L2 classroom remains the exception rather than the norm. This much-discussed research-practice gap can be attributed to the limited physical, intellectual and social accessibility of both corpus research and corpus resources. To address this issue, I explore the potential of Open Education in a course aimed at imparting corpus literacy to pre-service EFL teachers. I present the design of a course focused on the collaborative creation of a new Open Educational Resource (OER): a guide to creating corpus-informed teaching materials. The present study evaluates the effectiveness of three iterations of this course in enhancing the physical, intellectual, and social accessibility of corpus linguistics for L2 education. Analyses of pre- and post-course surveys, students’ OER chapter submissions, and reflection statements show that the semester-long course successfully developed participants’ technical and pedagogical corpus literacy. The findings suggest that the adoption of OER-enabled pedagogy in an initial teacher education course can make a positive contribution to bridging the corpus research-teaching gap.
Re-evaluating the Use of Corpus-Based Instruction in a Language Teacher Education Context
Authors: Farr Fiona , Riordan Elaine
Published: March 2024

This paper presents a replication study of research published 16 years ago by one of the authors (Farr, 2008). At that time, research into the use of corpus-based approaches in teacher education was sparse. This has changed somewhat, but is still limited. Existing research shows that teachers identify a number of reservations to the integration of corpus-based approaches in their teaching, including time-related obstacles, and a lack of confidence, awareness and training (Boulton & Tyne, 2014). Clearly there are still challenges to be overcome and further insights to be gleaned from research into the integration of corpus linguistics into teacher education programmes. As with the original study, this paper reports the ways in which corpus approaches have been integrated into a 1-year MA in TESOL programme. It outlines findings from survey results, which explore the student teachers’ perspectives on their experiences of using corpora, both as a language awareness tool for professional development and research, and as a resource for materials development. Additionally, it discusses the potential issues foreseen by practitioners in relation to using such an approach in their careers. The investigation leads to the conclusion that there is generally a positive predisposition towards the use of corpora.

Published: March 2024

Background: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who had epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations sensitive to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) had a high response rate to target therapies. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M mutation is the most common mechanism of acquired resistance to first-generation EGFR TKIs. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of EGFR T790 mutation, the progression-free survival (PFS) in the patients who progress on the first‑ generation EGFR‑TKIs. This study also investigates the correlation between T790M mutation and clinical, subclinical features, progression-free survival of NSCLC Vietnamese patients.

Patients and methods: We analyzed 66 NSCLC patients who had acquired resistance to first-generation EGFR-TKIs. The clinical data, PFS and the mechanism of acquired resistance were obtained. The Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test were used to analyze the PFS and compare between subgroups of patient characteristics. The correlations between the patient’s characteristics and EGFR-T790M mutation status were analyzed by Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests.

Results: At the progressive period, EGFR T790M mutation was detected in 54.5% of patients. The median PFS were 14.48 ± 3.9 months (range: 8- 26 months). Patients who were older than 60 years old or had comorbidities had significantly shorter PFS than the subgroups without (P≤0.05). The age, gender, smoking status, comorbidities, pathological features were not significantly correlated with the development of EGFR-T790M (P > 0.05). The average PFS was not significantly different between the EGFR-T790M group and the non-EGFR-T790M group (P=0.642).

Conclusion: In our cohort study, more than half of all patients had T790M mutation after being treated with first-generation EGFR TKIs. Age and comorbidities were associated with PFS but the EGFR-T790M mutation was not correlated with PFS.

Published: March 2024

Outreach activities (OAs) are structured learning experiences, combining intentional learning goals with services to underserved communities. Oral health students participated on the Phelophepa Train (PT) and school-based programmes (SBPs) as part of their OAs. To evaluate the self-reported experiences of OA amongst undergraduate oral health students. Cross-sectional which included final year dental (N=62) and oral hygiene students (N= 13) registered in 2019. Information was obtained using a modified, self administered questionnaire which included the number and type of procedures performed; work-related limitations,personal work benefits, academic development and civic responsibility. The response rate was 93% (N=65) and students performed more procedures on the train compared to the SBP. Most common procedures undertaken by dental students were screening (64%) and restorations (56%) for oral hygiene students it was screenings (92%) and examinations, fissure sealants and screenings 39% on the train and 31% at SBPs. The most common challenges on both the train and SBPs were inadequate materials (74%) and (41%), poor infection control (15%) and (41% and defective equipment (31%) and (38%) respectively. Although students performed a variety of clinical services they reported to have faced a number of challenges. The majority of students reported that OAs exposed them to the needs of the communities and encouraged them to improve their independence and accountability towards patients.
Oleje roślinne i przeciwutleniacze naturalne jako składniki kształtujące jakość wędlin podrobowych typu pasztetowa
Authors: Bilska Agnieszka
Published: March 2024

The research showed that the partial replacement of animal fat with vegetable oils resulted in products characterised by high sensory attractiveness and oxidative stability. In comparison with the samples containing linseed oil, maize oil, sunflower oil or soybean oil, the samples with rapeseed oil were characterised by the highest oxidative stability and the most favourable n-6 to n-3 fatty acids ratio, which was similar to nutritional recommendations. On average, the content of -linolenic acid in these products was 8 times greater than in the samples with corn or sunflower oil. The research showed that the addition of natural antioxidants, such as lactic acid, sodium lactate, rosemary extract, mulberry leaf and yellow tea extract to the liver pˆat´e and the replacement of 20% of fine animal fat with rapeseed oil, increased the stability of the fat fraction in the experimental products. Among the antioxidants under study, the water mulberry leaf extract was the most effective inhibitor of the increase in the peroxide value and the TBARS index in the experimental meat products during their storage. Apart from that, the samples with the water mulberry leaf extract were characterised by better sensory quality. The extract increased the content of flavonols and phenolic acids, especially chlorogenic, caffeic, vanillic and gallic acids, as well as the content of rutin and quercetin in the processed meats. The water mulberry leaf extract inhibited AChE more than BChE. The extract also inhibited the activity of angiotensin I converting enzyme, which depended on the concentration of the extract in the sample.

Quantification of fibrosis extend and airspace availability in lung: a semi-automatic ImageJ/Fiji toolbox (step-by-step protocol) v1
Authors: Ségard Bertrand-David
Published: March 2024

The evaluation of the structural integrity of mechanically dynamic organs such as lungs is critical for the diagnosis of numerous pathologies and the development of therapies. This task is classically performed by histology experts in a qualitative or semi-quantitative manner. Automatic digital image processing methods appeared in the last decades, and although immensely powerful, tools are highly specialized and lack the versatility required in various experimental designs. Here, a set of scripts for the image processing software ImageJ/Fiji to easily quantify fibrosis extend and alveolar airspace availability in Sirius Red or Masson’s trichrome stained samples is presented. The toolbox consists in thirteen modules: sample detection, particles filtration (automatic and manual), border definition, air ducts identification, air ducts walls definition, parenchyma extraction, MT-staining specific pre-processing, fibrosis detection, fibrosis particles filtration, airspace detection, and visualizations (tissue only or tissue and airspace). While the process is largely automated, critical parameters are accessible to the user for increased adaptability. The modularity of the protocol allows for its adjustment to alternative experimental settings. Fibrosis and airspace can be combined as an evaluation of the structural integrity of the organ. All settings and intermediate states are saved to ensure reproducibility. These new analysis scripts allow for a rapid quantification of fibrosis and airspace in a large variety of experimental settings.

Candida auris sequencing by Illumina miSeq using Illumina DNA Prep v1
Authors: M McGruder Rawson Brenna
Published: March 2024

Candida auris sequencing is becoming more important for public health and surveillance. This protocol is designed to guide individuals experienced in sequencing in setting up a SOP for sequencing C. auris. This protocol is designed for Illumina short-read sequencing. While the miSeq is the described instrument it is generally not difficult to scale up or down to other instruments. We have not validated using 150x150 read lengths. The DNA prep kit is the recommended kit. The NexteraXT kit produces varying fragment sizes across samples and usually results in lower coverage and sequencing quality than samples prepared with DNA Prep. This does not include bioinformatic analysis- however you can contact the author for more information.

The paper is devoted to the development of the calibration method for MEMS-sensors based inertial measurement unit (IMU). The general purpose of this work was to create the industrial-grade MEMS IMU calibration method. The method was supposed to reduce the temperature instability of inertial sensors static signal to a level of 100 °/h for rate sensors and 1 mg of accelerometers. The article provides a general description of the error types and accuracy classes of inertial sensors. The inertial sensors calibration principle using a known inertial impact series and the obtained dependence approximation by the n-th power polynomial is described too. The calibration methods for single axis and triaxial accelerometers and rate sensors using low and high precision stands are considered. Based on the considered materials, the digital inertial sensors calibration method using a triaxial high precision stand was developed. The method includes the ARS calibration over the entire measurement range and accelerometers calibration within the ±1 g range. The inertial module calibration experiment showed that the developed method allows achieving the required output signal stability level of the calibrated product over the temperature range.
THE APPLICATION OF THE TAGUCHI METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING THE COMPRESSION STRENGTH OF PLA SAMPLES PRODUCED USING FDM
Authors: TUNÇEL Oğuz , BAYRAKLILAR Mehmet Said
Published: March 2024

In this study, the Taguchi method was applied to optimize the compressive strength of PLA samples produced using Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). The study used Taguchi L9 experimental design to optimize three different process parameters (wall thickness, filling pattern, and printing speed). S/N ratios and ANOVA methods were used to analyze the experiments. The results of the experiments using the Taguchi technique were analyzed according to S/N ratios and the parameter levels with the best results were determined. The best levels for wall thickness, filling pattern, and print speed parameters were determined and the effects of these parameters were analyzed. It was concluded that wall thickness was the most effective parameter and filling pattern and print speed were less effective. ANOVA analysis confirmed the influence of the parameters on the compressive strength. It was observed that wall thickness contributed the most (70.20%) and filling pattern contributed the second most (29.11%).

Published: March 2024

Renewable energy resources are vital for addressing the universal concerns of air quality, energy security, and sustainable development. Solar energy has several benefits over other popular renewable energy sources, such as its accessibility and increased predictability. The device used for conversion of solar energy to electrical energy is known as photovoltaic panel, which is highly sensitive to the temperature. A significant reduction in efficiency is observed with an increment in temperature hence cooling of photovoltaic panel is highly desirable. Among the different cooling techniques, water cooling is attractive and widely used due to its good thermal properties and availability. Generally, panel cooling through water circulation in tubing is explored in past, however, these tubing structures are having some limitations such as heat transfer barrier, limited surface area, leakage issues, clogging and cost of material. These issues can be partially resolved by using direct contact water jacket cooling system. Therefore, the present study focuses on in enhancing the thermal and electrical characteristics of the solar photovoltaic module through a direct contact water jacketed cooling system.
Initially, a 3D numerical model is developed and the outcome of the numerical model is compared with the experimental work. The results obtained are found in good agreement for solar cell temperature and water outlet temperature. The solar panel performance is investigated with different flow rates such as 0.01, 0.05, 0.1 and 1 cm/s. The direct contact water jacketed cooling system offers simplicity, light weight and cost effectiveness and is found promising over the indirect system. Temperature reduction up to 20 °C is observed over uncooled PV panel whereas enhancement in electrical efficiency up to 9.6 % is observed. The cooled PV solar cell maintain 40.2% low temperature compare to uncooled solar cell temperature.

Ingesting fluoride for prolonged periods or in doses higher than those recommended during enamel formation produces changes from the appearance of very thin white lines to serious structural defects, resulting in a pathological entity known as dental fluorosis. The severity of the changes depends on the amount of fluoride ingested; it is a disease that has an epidemiological behavior with endemic characteristics. The indicated management for TF1 and TF2 lesions is dental whitening or infiltrating resin; for TF3 and TF4 micro abrasion and/or whitening and in TF5 combined technique with macro, micro abrasion and dental whitening. It is essential that public health actions be prioritized to mitigate potential complications due to fluorosis, especially in areas identified as endemic.

Pada penelitian ini membuat pencarian data tugas akhir mahasiswa dengan memanfaatkan web semantik ontologi agar data yang dimiliki tidak hanya memiliki nilai, tetapi juga memiliki pengetahuan tentang relasi antar informasi yang saling berkaitan. Komponen yang digunakan dalam teknologi semantik adalah RDF yang dipergunakan sebagai representasi pengetahuan yang digunakan, kemudian SPARQL yang digunakan sebagai query untuk mengambil informasi yang terdapat dalam Ontologi RDF. Selain itu juga digunakan Algoritma Boyer Moore untuk mendapatkan nilai similarity antara data yang didapatkan dari hasil pencarian dengan keyword yang dimasukkan. Jenis pencarian yang dirancang ada 3 pencarian yaitu keyword search, simple search dan advanced search. Dan ketiga pencarian tersebut juga akan di kombinasikan dengan algoritma Boyer Moore.  Hasil pencarian dengan ontologi dengan pencarian dengan ontologi dan Algoritma Boyer Moore dihasilkan bahwa pencarian dengan Boyer Moore membutuhkan waktu lebih lama secara rata-rata sekitar >=0,0001 perdetik dalam 5 kali percobaan dibandingkan pencarian dengan ontologi saja. Untuk Algoritma Boyer Moore dilakukan pengujian dengan ROC didapatkan hasil akurasi sebesar 99,84% untuk 16 kali percobaan.
