Published: December 2023

One of the major threats to skin aging and the risk of developing skin cancer is excessive exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation (UVR). The use of sunscreens containing different synthetic, organic, and inorganic UVR filters is one of the most widespread defensive measures. However, increasing evidence suggests that some of these compounds are potentially eco-toxic, causing subtle damage to the environment and to marine ecosystems. Resorting to natural products produced in a wide range of marine species to counteract UVR-mediated damage could be an alternative strategy. The present work investigates marine-inspired thiol compounds, derivatives of ovothiol A, isolated from marine invertebrates and known to exhibit unique antioxidant properties. However, their potential use as photoprotective molecules for biocompatible sunscreens and anti-photo aging formulations has not yet been investigated. Here, we report on the UVR absorption properties, photostability, and in vitro UVA shielding activities of two synthetic ovothiol derivatives, 5-thiohistidine and iso-ovothiol A, by spectrophotometric and fluorimetric analysis. We found that the UVA properties of these compounds increase upon exposure to UVA and that their absorption activity is able to screen UVA rays, thus reducing the oxidative damage induced to proteins and lipids. The results of this work demonstrate that these novel marine-inspired compounds could represent an alternative eco-friendly approach for UVR skin protection.
Identification of Incomplete Annotations of Biosynthesis Pathways in Rhodophytes Using a Multi-Omics Approach
Authors: McKinnie Lachlan , Cummins Scott , Zhao Min
Published: December 2023

Rhodophytes (red algae) are an important source of natural products and are, therefore, a current research focus in terms of metabolite production. The recent increase in publicly available Rhodophyte whole genome and transcriptome assemblies provides the resources needed for in silico metabolic pathway analysis. Thus, this study aimed to create a Rhodophyte multi-omics resource, utilising both genomes and transcriptome assemblies with functional annotations to explore Rhodophyte metabolism. The genomes and transcriptomes of 72 Rhodophytes were functionally annotated and integrated with metabolic reconstruction and phylogenetic inference, orthology prediction, and gene duplication analysis to analyse their metabolic pathways. This resource was utilised via two main investigations: the identification of bioactive sterol biosynthesis pathways and the evolutionary analysis of gene duplications for known enzymes. We report that sterol pathways, including campesterol, β-sitosterol, ergocalciferol and cholesterol biosynthesis pathways, all showed incomplete annotated pathways across all Rhodophytes despite prior in vivo studies showing otherwise. Gene duplication analysis revealed high rates of duplication of halide-associated haem peroxidases in Florideophyte algae, which are involved in the biosynthesis of drug-related halogenated secondary metabolites. In summary, this research revealed trends in Rhodophyte metabolic pathways that have been under-researched and require further functional analysis. Furthermore, the high duplication of haem peroxidases and other peroxidase enzymes offers insight into the potential drug development of Rhodophyte halogenated secondary metabolites.
A Data-Driven Study of the Drivers of Stratospheric Circulation via Reduced Order Modeling and Data Assimilation
Authors: Sherman Julie , Sampson Christian , Fleurantin Emmanuel , Wu Zhimin , Jones Christopher K. R. T.
Published: December 2023

Stratospheric dynamics are strongly affected by the absorption/emission of radiation in the Earth’s atmosphere and Rossby waves that propagate upward from the troposphere, perturbing the zonal flow. Reduced order models of stratospheric wave–zonal interactions, which parameterize these effects, have been used to study interannual variability in stratospheric zonal winds and sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events. These models are most sensitive to two main parameters: Λ, forcing the mean radiative zonal wind gradient, and h, a perturbation parameter representing the effect of Rossby waves. We take one such reduced order model with 20 years of ECMWF atmospheric reanalysis data and estimate Λ and h using both a particle filter and an ensemble smoother to investigate if the highly-simplified model can accurately reproduce the averaged reanalysis data and which parameter properties may be required to do so. We find that by allowing additional complexity via an unparameterized Λ(t), the model output can closely match the reanalysis data while maintaining behavior consistent with the dynamical properties of the reduced-order model. Furthermore, our analysis shows physical signatures in the parameter estimates around known SSW events. This work provides a data-driven examination of these important parameters representing fundamental stratospheric processes through the lens and tractability of a reduced order model, shown to be physically representative of the relevant atmospheric dynamics.
Multimodal Early Birth Weight Prediction Using Multiple Kernel Learning
Authors: Camargo-Marín Lisbeth , Guzmán-Huerta Mario , Piña-Ramirez Omar , Perez-Gonzalez Jorge
Published: December 2023

In this work, a novel multimodal learning approach for early prediction of birth weight is presented. Fetal weight is one of the most relevant indicators in the assessment of fetal health status. The aim is to predict early birth weight using multimodal maternal–fetal variables from the first trimester of gestation (Anthropometric data, as well as metrics obtained from Fetal Biometry, Doppler and Maternal Ultrasound). The proposed methodology starts with the optimal selection of a subset of multimodal features using an ensemble-based approach of feature selectors. Subsequently, the selected variables feed the nonparametric Multiple Kernel Learning regression algorithm. At this stage, a set of kernels is selected and weighted to maximize performance in birth weight prediction. The proposed methodology is validated and compared with other computational learning algorithms reported in the state of the art. The obtained results (absolute error of 234 g) suggest that the proposed methodology can be useful as a tool for the early evaluation and monitoring of fetal health status through indicators such as birth weight.
High-Precision Carton Detection Based on Adaptive Image Augmentation for Unmanned Cargo Handling Tasks
Authors: Liang Bing , Wang Xin , Zhao Wenhao , Wang Xiaobang
Published: December 2023

Unattended intelligent cargo handling is an important means to improve the efficiency and safety of port cargo trans-shipment, where high-precision carton detection is an unquestioned prerequisite. Therefore, this paper introduces an adaptive image augmentation method for high-precision carton detection. First, the imaging parameters of the images are clustered into various scenarios, and the imaging parameters and perspectives are adaptively adjusted to achieve the automatic augmenting and balancing of the carton dataset in each scenario, which reduces the interference of the scenarios on the carton detection precision. Then, the carton boundary features are extracted and stochastically sampled to synthesize new images, thus enhancing the detection performance of the trained model for dense cargo boundaries. Moreover, the weight function of the hyperparameters of the trained model is constructed to achieve their preferential crossover during genetic evolution to ensure the training efficiency of the augmented dataset. Finally, an intelligent cargo handling platform is developed and field experiments are conducted. The outcomes of the experiments reveal that the method attains a detection precision of 0.828. This technique significantly enhances the detection precision by 18.1% and 4.4% when compared to the baseline and other methods, which provides a reliable guarantee for intelligent cargo handling processes.
Performance Verification of Autonomous Driving LiDAR Sensors under Rainfall Conditions in Darkroom
Authors: Choe Jaeryun , Cho Hyunwoo , Chung Yoonseok
Published: December 2023

This research aims to assess the functionality of the VLP-32 LiDAR sensor, which serves as the principal sensor for object recognition in autonomous vehicles. The evaluation is conducted by simulating edge conditions the sensor might encounter in a controlled darkroom setting. Parameters for environmental conditions under examination encompass measurement distances ranging from 10 to 30 m, varying rainfall intensities (0, 20, 30, 40 mm/h), and different observation angles (0°, 30°, 60°). For the material aspects, the investigation incorporates reference materials, traffic signs, and road surfaces. Employing this diverse set of conditions, the study quantitatively assesses two critical performance metrics of LiDAR: intensity and NPC (number of point clouds). The results indicate a general decline in intensity as the measurement distance, rainfall intensity, and observation angles increase. Instances were identified where the sensor failed to record intensity for materials with low reflective properties. Concerning NPC, both the effective measurement area and recorded values demonstrated a decreasing trend with enlarging measurement distance and angles of observation. However, NPC metrics remained stable despite fluctuations in rainfall intensity.
Novel Results on SNR Estimation for Bandlimited Optical Intensity Channels
Authors: Gappmair Wilfried
Published: December 2023

In a previous work of the author about non-data-aided estimation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for bandlimited optical intensity channels, a couple of limitations have been identified in terms of error performance and computational complexity. In the current paper, these deficiencies are avoided by the introduction of a second receiver filter with specific properties that is operated in parallel to the receiver filter normally used in this respect. Although not initially intended, the concept is also applied to data-aided SNR estimation by deriving a maximum likelihood algorithm and the Cramer–Rao lower bound (CRLB) as the theoretical limit of the error performance. In the next step, the dual-filter framework is used in the context of SNR estimation without knowledge about data symbols. The most significant benefit of this method is that the number of payload data employed for the estimation procedure might be selected arbitrarily long without impacting the spectral efficiency of the link. Since the computation of the true CRLB was out of scope due to complexity reasons, an asymptotic variant for very low SNR values is analyzed, which ends up in a closed-form solution. Furthermore, an algorithm based on first- and second-order moments of the samples at the dual-filter output is investigated, which turned out to be very attractive in terms of error performance and computational complexity.

Thoracic endometriosis is a rare pathology that significantly affects the quality of life of women. The pathogenesis of endometriosis continues to be intensively studied. One of the latest achievements in its study is the identification of oxidative stress as an active link in the development of a pathological condition. The nitric oxide molecule is a free radical and, as a result, an important component of oxidative processes. Violation of its metabolism makes a significant contribution to the occurrence of oxidative stress. The NOS3 endothelial synthase gene controls nitric oxide metabolism. We have studied the polymorphism of the NOS3 endothelial synthase gene at points 786 T/C and 894 G/T. The data obtained indicate the active participation of the NOS3 endothelial synthase gene at points 786 T/C and 894 G/T in the pathogenesis of various forms of endometriosis. The difficulties of diagnosing and treating this disease at the present stage are not least due to the fact that the problem of thoracic endometriosis is at the junction of the specialties of obstetrics-gynecology and thoracic surgery, which in other situations practically do not intersect. Our observations make it possible to consider thoracic endometriosis as a pathological process that is not associated with fertility and parity of patients. At the same time, thoracic endometriosis is most likely associated with genital endometriosis, which has a negative impact on fertility. The most common complaints of patients with thoracic endometriosis are pain and discomfort in the chest area associated with menstruation and dry cough. Histological verification of the disease is difficult. A promising method for preventing exacerbations of the disease is the combined prescription of аGnRG and dienogest.

Aesthetic gynecological operations in children and adolescents are aimed at eliminating congenital anomalies of the structure of the external genitalia, which usually occur as a result of a violation of the formation of sex. In addition, operations are often performed to achieve a cosmetic effect in conditions such as hypertrophy of the labia minora, clitoromegaly (not associated with genetic defects), atrophy and narrowing of the entrance to the vagina. At the moment, there is no consensus on at what age to perform aesthetic reconstructive surgery for abnormalities of the development of external genitalia in pediatric patients. At the same time, many techniques have been developed that are actively used in clinics around the world. The article considers the most practical and least traumatic, with a low percentage of complications, methods of plastic surgery in children and adolescents with congenital malformations and cosmetic defects of the external genitalia. A search for literature reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and clinical studies on the topic of aesthetic gynecological operations in gynecology of children and adolescents was conducted in the PubMed and Embase. The search was carried out using combinations of MESH terms: feminizing genitoplasty, atypia of the external genitalia, pediatrics, disorders of sex formation, congenital hyperplasia of the adrenal cortex. The articles were analyzed, the full text of which was in the public domain, with a detailed description of the course and results of the operation, a description of clinical cases and studies in the field of pediatric and adolescent gynecology, mainly surgical treatment of congenital disorders of the reproductive system. As a result of a search in the PubMed, Embase databases with a diverse combination of keywords, 498 publications were found that were screened by name and abstract. 120 articles were selected for full-text analysis, 31 of them were selected for citation.

Investigating the Seasonal Variations of Event, Recent, and Pre-Recent Runoff Components in a Pre-Alpine Catchment using Stable Isotopes and an Iterative Hydrograph Separation Approach
Authors: Hoeg Simon
Published: December 2023

An analysis of the runoff generation processes in terms of event, recent, and pre-recent runoff components is demonstrated for the Swiss pre-Alpine Alp catchment (46.4 km2) and two smaller tributaries (Erlenbach, 0.7 km2, and Vogelbach, 1.6 km2), whereas, recent water is understood as the contribution of the respective three prior rainfall-runoff events. A four-years time series of daily stable water isotope data in stream water and precipitation is used for the analysis of seasonal variations. In addition, high-frequency data (10 minutely intervals) are used for a detailed visualization of the rapid mobilization of recent water for single events. An iterative extension of the standard two-component hydrograph separation method is applied; this approach can be interpreted as a discretization of the catchment water and tracer mass balance along the event and pre-event time axis. Furthermore, the calculated event, recent, and pre-recent runoff components can be used to estimate time-varying backward travel time distributions.

Antiscarring agents in glaucoma surgery: a literature review
Authors: Manoharan Sangeetha , Md Din Norshamsiah
Published: December 2023

Glaucoma filtering surgery has been gaining popularity as an early surgical intervention in glaucoma management. A thorough review of the literature revealed that the incidence of failure in glaucoma filtering surgery may be reduced with the use of antiscarring agents. Based on the published research, we hereby discuss the available types of antiscarring agents, their regimes, and their complications. Among the drugs used, mitomycin C and 5-fluorouracil are the most prominent. We discuss the indications for their use, mode of action, dosage, techniques, and duration of usage as well as complications. Although these agents have proven efficacy, they also increase the risk of complications. While newer agents have shown promising results, the long-term complications of these drugs are still inconclusive. We also explain the new agents and methods under investigation to control wound healing after filtration surgery. This is a crucial area to explore, as most of these agents are not tissue-selective and therefore their benefits must be weighed against their possible risks.

Clinical phenomenology of mental disorders in patients with COVID-19
Authors: Leshchyna I.V.
Published: December 2023

Today, we already know for sure that COVID-19 has a negative impact on both the physical and mental health of the population in every country. Almost everyone has a fear of coronavirus infection, which is associated with the possible risk of infection, the unpredictable course of the disease, the lack of pathogenetic treatment and total uncertainty, which causes negative psychological reactions. Organic changes from coronavirus infection are exacerbated by the influence of military stress and contribute to the development of psychological and pathopsychological disorders. The purpose of the research was to study the clinical phenomenology of mental disorders in patients who suffered from COVID-19. A comprehensive examination was conducted of 125 people (68 women and 57 men) of middle age (36.0±3.4) years who suffered from COVID-19 2–6 weeks ago. All the examinees were in a special psycho-emotional state due to COVID-19. This state was caused on the one hand by direct damage to the central nervous system by SARS-Cov2 infection, on the other hand by fear for life and health, and that of loved ones. Other factors of the special condition were social derivation, limitations in the usual way of life; adaptation to new working conditions; change in motor activity; change in diet and sleep; lack of knowledge about infectious diseases and mental health; informational stress: alarming news and fake news (disinformation), which are easily spread through social networks, increasing fears and anxieties. As a result of COVID-19, adjustment disorders, depressive and anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress and somatoform disorders, and organic anxiety-depressive disorders occurred.

Keywords: depression, anxiety, somatoform disorders, organic disorders, adaptation disorders.

A análise de cenas explicita essa relação, ancorada nos conceitos de cultura e representação. O artigo conclui que a narrativa é concebida como uma das representações possíveis dos conflitos, vivenciados na Índia pós-guerra, evidencia conflitos étnicos e territoriais indianos e considera que o ato de recepção deve se distanciar de um discurso homogêneo para legitimar a pluralidade de pontos de vista.
aniquilação simbólica dos afro-brasileiros pelo Império do Brasil nas Exposições Universais (1867-1889)
Authors: MALANSKI Daniel
Published: December 2023

Durante a segunda metade do século XIX, as Exposições Universais eram os maiores megaeventos do mundo. Nações periféricas, impérios europeus e suas ex-colônias compartilhavam um espaço físico onde podiam exibir com orgulho seus avanços sociais e tecnológicos em direção a um modelo utópico de sociedade moderna. O recém-criado Império do Brasil (1822-1889) aproveitou essas oportunidades para forjar sua própria identidade. No entanto, os comitês organizadores brasileiros desses eventos pareciam incomodados com o fato do país pertencer ao grupo das últimas nações do Hemisfério Ocidental que ainda não haviam abolido a escravidão. Neste artigo, utilizamos o conceito de aniquilação simbólica(termo que vem das ciências da comunicação) para analisar os meios utilizados pelos comitês brasileiros para fugir o tema da escravidão.

Neste artigo pretendemos realizar uma reflexão acerca do sistema educacional brasileiro durante o regime militar (1964-1985). Trata-se de um período em que as políticas públicas educacionais sofreram inúmeras interferências do governo visando especificamente o controle ideológico nas escolas e a implantação de uma educação técnica pautada na formação de mão de obra barata para atender os interesses liberais que vinham sendo implementados no país. Esse modelo desigual e excludente gerou uma violação dos direitos humanos básicos.

A Cidade Educadora pressupõe a ocupação do território promovendo a inclusão e o sentimento de pertencimento. Descrever a experiência e a dinâmica das redes que se formam é importante para compreender a elaboração de políticas públicas. Os educadores ao conhecer a cidade, o território e as comunidades ali presentes promovem o diálogo entre a escola e a cidade. A experiência da reorganização curricular na Rede Municipal de Educação da Cidade de São Paulo, que ocorreu no período de 2013 a 2016, na gestão do Prefeito Fernando Haddad, considerou como princípio a educação como um direito dos nossos bebês, crianças, jovens e adultos. A questão que se apresenta é se há relação entre a percepção do território na construção do currículo vivido e se os espaços do CEUs contribuíram para garantia de Direitos para a comunidade do seu entorno.

Introduction: Nowadays vaccination is the most effective, safe and cost-effective means of preventing infectious diseases. Along with the obvious successes of vaccination, there are problems in its organization, often associated with compliance of both parents and medical workers.
Objective: To establish commitment to vaccination among parents and healthcare professionals at children’s polyclinics and the main barriers to vaccination.
Materials and methods: In February–March 2022, we conducted a questionnaire-based survey of 226 parents and 184 medical workers based on educational institutions and children’s polyclinics of the city of Ivanovo and the region. The sampling was targeted and conducted in gathering places. The collected data were then analyzed using SPSS version 12.0.
Results: The study showed poor parental adherence to vaccination. The main barriers to vaccination among them were disbelief in vaccination efficacy, the opinion that commercial interests of pharmaceutical companies prevail, imaginary concerns about safety of vaccination, distrust of the population in certain vaccines, and poor commitment to vaccination against certain infections. At the same time, the overwhelming majority of the health professionals surveyed supported vaccination and reported such major barriers to vaccination as an increasing number of children with chronic diseases not covered by vaccination, medical advice to refuse vaccination, and the anti-vaccine activism.
Conclusion: It is important to promote adherence to vaccination of both parents and medical workers. The primary task is to eliminate the lack of information about the efficacy and safety of immunization in children using all possible information and educational resources.
