Dynamics of the post/de/secularization process among t he youth groups of the Moscow metropolis
Authors:   Institute of Demographic Research, Branch of the Federal Center of Theoretical  and Applied Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kublitskaya Elena A.
Published: September 2022

This article analyzes the monitoring indicators of sociological studies of the capital of Russia, characterizing the involvement of young people in religious and secularization processes over the past 15 years. The analysis is based on monitoring data conducted by the Institute for Socio-Political Research and the Institute for Demographic Re-search of the Federal Scientific Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2008-2021. The problematic situation is related to the fact that the subject of re-search is at the intersection of the interaction of two changing subjects – youth and society, as well as two cultures – secular and confessional. The general framework of the research methodology is defined by the concepts of post/de/secularization. The orientation of the process of post/de/secularization of Moscow youth was determined through a fixed system of indicators, including: the level of traditional religiosity and atheism of youth groups; the level of "unchurched", non-confessional religiosity of youth; dynamics of post/de/secularization of youth groups; involvement of youth age groups in cult activity. It is noted that the materials of sociological data of recent years continue to reveal a trend towards a gradual decrease in the level of traditional religiosity and "church-mindedness" of the young generation of the capital metropo-lis. Cult activity among the capital's youth does not exceed 7-8%, while among the population as a whole it is at the level of 10-11%. At the same time, the share of reli-gious “non-confessional” youth has increased over the past five years. In general, the religious situation in the youth environment, as well as in society, is characterized by blurring of the boundaries between religious and secular consciousness: a decrease in the level and degree of religiosity with an increase in atheistic sentiments. It was de-termined that the most common motives for the manifestation of cult activity are due not to religious, but to ethno-cultural factors. Based on methodological and methodo-logical principles, researchers record the continuation of negative dynamics in the de-velopment of desecularization, stating the restoration of the process of secularization of the youth of the Moscow metropolis. Acknowledgment: The article was prepared within the framework of the Program of Fundamental and Applied Scientific Research "Ethnocultural Diversity of Russian Society and Strengthening the All-Russian Identity" (Order of the President of the Russian Federation No. PR-71 dated 16.01.2020).

El escenario geopolítico generado por la agresión rusa a Ucrania sigue marcando la actualidad internacional y europea, en particular. Este conflicto en las fronteras exteriores de la Unión Europea ha ralentizado el tímido proceso de recuperación post-Covid iniciado en 2021, al tiempo que ha añadido más incertidumbre. Aparte de la colosal emergencia humanitaria, la guerra en Ucrania está teniendo un impacto económico directo a nivel global, que se refleja principalmente en la subida significativa de la inflación arrastrada por el incremento de los precios de los productos energéticos y la interrupción intermitente en las cadenas internacionales de suministros. Con todo, aún a ritmo más lento, la UE y los Estados miembros continúan con sus planes de recuperación, iniciados con la adopción del mecanismo Next Generation EU in 2020. En este contexto incierto y evolutivo, la UE se afana por adoptar medidas que respondan a los nuevos desafíos. Un ejemplo es el REPowerEU Plan, una nueva estrategia adoptada en mayo de 2022, que incluye financiación adicional, y con la que la UE espera reducir drásticamente su dependencia del gas y petróleo rusos antes de 2030 y acelerar así la transición verde hacia una economía europea climáticamente neutra. Como gesto geopolítico relevante, destaca también el reconocimiento de Ucrania y Moldavia como países candidatos a la adhesión a la UE.

Relevance. Breeding for resistance to diseases is one of the current trends in melon growing. The work of the Bykovskaya melon selection experimental station includes breeding pumpkin varieties that are not inferior to zoned varieties in terms of economically valuable traits, disease resistance and taste.Materials and methods. The object of the study was hybrid combinations of large-fruited pumpkin and nutmeg pumpkin, obtained as a result of intervarietal hybridization. The research was carried out in the Bykovsky district of the Volgograd region.Results As a result of the work carried out, the characteristics of the obtained hybrid combinations of pumpkin were given according to the main economically valuable traits: the duration of the growing season, the average weight of the fruit, the thickness of the pulp, the dry matter content, the yield, as well as the resistance to anthracnose and powdery mildew. An assessment was made in comparison with the standards and parental forms. As a result of the research, it was revealed that the shortest duration of the growing season, 115-117 days, is in combinations of large-fruited pumpkin Paradise - Vi x Graceful, Graceful x Paradise - Vi, Marina di Ch x Dawn. Among the nutmeg pumpkin, all samples along the length of the growing season are at the same level of 119-120 days. Average fruit weight and pulp thickness are inherited intermediately. In terms of yield, among the hybrid combinations of large-fruited pumpkin, samples of Marina di Chioggia x Zorka and Paradise - Vi x Graceful stood out. All hybrid combinations of nutmeg pumpkin exceeded parental forms in terms of yield, their yield ranged from 17.0 to 22.0 t/ha. In terms of resistance to powdery mildew and anthracnose, the combinations "Elia x Spaniard" (Uzbekistan) and "Muscat Provence x Vitamin" stood out.Conclusions. Thus, as a result of hybridization, two new hybrid combinations of large-fruited pumpkin and Muscat pumpkin were obtained, which have a complex of economically valuable traits and resistance to powdery mildew and anthracnose.

The results are reflected, which confirm the effectiveness of foliar fertilizing with organic fertilizer Agrohelate for melon plants of early varieties Tamanskaya and Strelchanka. A single treatment of plants in the seed plots in the flowering phase and the beginning of the growth of the first ovary contributed to better pollination. More than half of the fruits with typical varietal characteristics were selected for seed extraction: Tamanskaya varieties – 51.4% and Strelchanka varieties – 51.0%. The mass of fruits in the Tamanskaya variety increased noticeably by 0.16...0.23 kg on average, in the Strelchanka variety – by 0.12...0.42 kg. The data on the increase in the content of dry soluble substances in the pulp of the fruits of the first two harvests of melon variety Strelchanka by 0.8 ... 1.6% are given. In the pulp of Tamanskaya melon fruits, there was a tendency to increase the content of dry soluble substances. Fertilizer Agrochelate had an impact on the seed productivity of melon varieties. In the fruits of the Tamanskaya variety, 122–145 more seeds were ripened, and the number of feeble and unripe seeds was 5.5–7.2% less than in the fruits of the control variant. The number of puny and unripened seeds in the fruits of Strelchanka melon variety was 10% less. In weight terms, on average, 2.6 g more seeds were isolated from each fruit of the Tamanskaya variety than in the variant without treatment. A noticeable increase in the yield of seeds in the variety Strelchanka was not observed. Application of foliar application with organic mineral fertilizer Agrochelate did not affect the mass of seeds. The indicators of sowing qualities of seeds were high in all variants of the experiment: germination energy – from 58.1 to 81.5% and germination - from 90.7 to 97.3%. The analysis of the obtained results substantiates the feasibility of applying top dressing with Agrochelate organic fertilizer.
Effect of the Cutting Process on the Dynamic Properties of Machine Actuator Drives
Authors: Zakovorotny V.L. , Fesenko M.A. , Gvindzhiliya V.E.
Published: September 2022

Virtual cutting system simulations developed using mathematical modelling allow us to consider the relationship between the CNC program, machine actuator trajectories and elastic deformations, as well as the laws guiding trajectory transformation into output processing characteristics. The transformations of these trajectories are defined by a system of nonlinear higher-order differential equations that are difficult to analyse. Another related issue is the difficulty involved in determining the variation patterns in the actuator servomotor dynamics driven by the cutting process. The paper proposes a general approach to analysing a controlled dynamic cutting system based on the asymptotic properties of nonlinear differential equations containing small parameters for derivatives. We focus on drive properties being dynamically determined by their interaction with the cutting process. The paper presents drive properties as functions of elastic matrices pertaining to subsystems representing the tool and the workpiece interacting via the cutting process, said functions derived by mathematical simulation.

Psychoanalytikerin und Mutter – Eine Gesprächsrunde
Authors: Luif Vera
Published: September 2022

Der Mutterschaft der Psychoanalytikerin kommt im psychoanalytischen Diskurs der letzten 30 Jahre eine marginale Bedeutung zu. In einer von der Autorin moderierten, offenen Gesprächsrunde tauschten sich acht Psychoanalytikerinnen, die vor, während oder nach ihrer Weiterbildung Mutter geworden waren, über die Herausforderungen der veränderten Lebenssituation im Zusammenhang mit ihrer psychoanalytischen Tätigkeit aus. Vor allem die Schwangerschaft bedeutet eine Zäsur im psychoanalytischen Arbeiten und wird von zentralen klinischen und behandlungstechnischen Fragen und mannigfaltigem Übertragungs- und Gegenübertragungsgeschehen begleitet. An die oft am Beginn ihrer psychoanalytischen Tätigkeit stehende Psychoanalytikerin werden hohe Anforderungen an ihre berufliche Identität und ihren Umgang mit Schuldgefühlen, dem “acting out” der Analysand:innen und dem – zumindest temporären – Aufgeben des «Zwei-Personen-Modus» gestellt. Zudem akzentuiert sich die Frage über ihre Fähigkeiten als Mutter insbesondere in einem Arbeitsfeld, in dem es in den verschiedensten Variationen um die Frage der «guten» bzw. «schlechten» Mutter geht. Die psychoanalytischen Konzepte über Weiblichkeit und Sexualität, vor allem älteren Datums, eröffnen zudem ein Spannungsfeld, in dem das Frau- und Muttersein sich mit der Assoziation eines Mangels verbindet. Dem steht das Erleben der Diskussionsteilnehmerinnen gegenüber, die ihre Mutterschaft als einhergehend mit mehr Potenz und einer Erweiterung ihres Erfahrungs- und Handlungsspielraumes – sowohl in ihrer beruflichen als auch privaten Lebensrealität – wahrnehmen.

The Scientific Community between Confusion and Reactionarity
Authors: Shuper Viacheslav
Published: September 2022

Attempts to avoid discussing the catastrophic situation in science and higher education can have the most severe consequences for the country in wartime. The most important goal of the special operation in Ukraine is the nationalization of the elites. It was obviously not possible to nationalize the scientific community. The off–scale percentage of disapproval of thisoperation among scientists (85%) is quite an adequate assessment of the policy in the field of science and higher education. The legacy of Vladimir Vernadsky is now of particular importance. Being a hereditary opponent of the tsarist autocracy, and in Soviet times – a brave critic of the government and the dominance of official ideology, the great scientist clearly divided thegovernment and the country, which allowed him to always stand on patriotic positions, putting fundamental national interests, unchanged under any government at the forefront. If the planned economy in its Soviet outgrowth grew on domestic soil, then all the worst that destroys science, grossly deforming the value orientation of scientists and destroying the institution of reputations, came from the West. In the field of science, the West still retains its dominance to the greatest extent, having significantly lost its position in other areas – economy, politics, ideology, military power. The pro-Western orientation of most of our scientific community is due precisely to this dominance, and not to devotion to the great ideals of science, whichwere betrayed in the West much earlier than at us. These ideals require the maximum degree of separation between the science and the politics, but in practice there is a tendency to mix them. The revolutionary transformations in the country not only open up a huge front of work for science, but will allow it to dramatically increase its social status. However, this requires scientists to return resolutely from internal emigration. It is necessary to move not to the side of power, but to constructive opposition. The latter presupposes close cooperation with the authorities in some issues with its harsh criticism in others
Science, Culture, World

As knowledge about nature and society deepened, the composition of the sources of socio-economic development expanded to include entrepreneurship, science, innovation, environmental restrictions, education, etc. The growth in the number of significant development factors and the need to take into account their impact on socio-economic concept,within which it will be possible to develop a common framework for assessing the role of traditional and new sources of growth. Already today, politicians, economists and managers, when developing state strategies, plans and programs, are faced with the need to take into account such characteristics of society as trust, inclusiveness, a sense of justice, the cultural level of the population, etc. The importance of these factors is increasing in the face of growing processes of change, the increasing role of innovation and weakening the stability and stability of the world political and economic systems under the influence of globalization processes. In modern conditions, the development and implementation of socio-economic policy requires an assessment of the ability of states to perceive and assimilate innovations, avoiding disorganization and slipping into systemic crises. The question arises, in relation to which object should such an ability be assessed? The article substantiates the choice of a cultural system as such an object. The dynamics of culture and the generalized drivers of its changes are considered, as which coding, language and communications are substantiated. It is shown that over time, science has become the main communication of culture. The globalization of scientific activity leads to the convergence of cultural systems. This process is getting new acceleration as a result of digitalization.
The life and fate of Bruno Pontecorvo. Reflection on the books of Boris Bulyubash and Mikhail Sapozhnikov
Authors: Skazochkin Aleksander
Published: September 2022

The article presents a description of the content and possible significance for the history of science of the books by Boris Bulyubash and Mikhail Sapozhnikov about the outstanding Italian and Soviet physicist Bruno Pontecorvo. The “spy version” and “political version” of the transition of the scientist to the USSR are presented in detail, as well as the possible reasons for the transition associated with the socio-political situation of the 50s of the 20th century are described. The necessity to take into account the internal vector of beliefs, views and worldview of a scientist when explaining his actions is emphasized. Facts are given demonstrating that the “ideal” dominated in the worldview of Bruno Pontecorvo, which makes it possible toexplain many events in his life. It is noted that both books summarize a significant amount of information about Bruno, as well as the high quality of the description of many physical experiments in which Pontecorvo took part, the accessibility for understanding the essence when presenting complex issues of elementary particle physics and high energy physics.
The Russian Science during the Period of Sanctions in Relation to the Problem of Modernization of the Russian Economy
Authors: Khanin Girsh
Published: September 2022

The article consists of two parts. The first part called Retrospective analyzes the reasons for declining Russian science and higher education and considers them as the factors for the modernization of the Russian economy and society. It is shown that the roots lie in the reorganization of science and higher education carried out by the Soviet leadership at the end of the 20s of the 20th century.This degradation was caused by separated science and higher education, the extensive development of science and higher education, the deprivation of their autonomy and freedom of scientific research, especially in the humanities, the persecution of dissidents, and the restriction on international contacts between scientists. In the late Soviet period, these problems of the Soviet science and higher education were exacerbated by declining prestige and low demand for science and higher education. In the post-Soviet period, despite new opportunities for self-expression, independence, and international contacts, the scientific and higher education performance kept on declining, due to a huge reduction in funding, small demand, and low-qualified professional staff. The second part called Prospects considers the ways to revive science and higher education under economic and scientific sanctions. It is offered to redirect the larger part of thegross domestic product into highly increased investments into physical and human capital. The author explains the necessity to reorganize the system of science and higher education by reducing the number of institutions of science and higher education; by downsizing the number of their staff; by providing possibilities for self-administration; and by changing the policy of state, public, and commercial institutions.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is a particularly hazardous virus due to its rapid transmission. The spread of COVID-19 is so rapid that the WHO has labeled it a pandemic, and Indonesia has declared it a national catastrophe. The purpose of this essay was to summarize the management of cancer patient care during the COVID-19 epidemic.

Methods: In this review, we used the PRISMA method and article sources from databases, including Scopus, Science Direct, SAGE, and CINAHL/EBSCO, from the years 2019 to 2020.. Inclusion criteria include research conducted in human, using nursing management strategies in cancer patients, and article written inEnglish and have been published in 2020. Exclusion criteria include research on non-human, articles that did not mention cancer care management during the COVID-19 epidemic, review and survey studies.

Result: This review looked at 14 articles from different nations. Two studies used phone massage as an intervention, three studies used a combination of phone massage and phone call with smartphone technology, five studies used a video call to monitor cancer care management, one study used email or social media to monitor cancer care management, and three studies used web applications that are connected to the internet.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, our findings suggest that continuing anticancer treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic is safe and possible if appropriate and stringent infection control measures are implemented. In the future, more extensive research of COVID-19 infection in cancer patients may aid in the care of oncology patients
The Electromagnetic Wave Without a Magnetic Component: A Thought Experiment

Published: September 2022

The well-known coupling between the magnetic and electric fields in electromagnetic radiation is revisited in light of the recent introduction of a microscopic theory for the Ørsted magnetic field induction. I argue that, if the Ørsted magnetic field induction does indeed have a microscopic origin rather than the continuum solution offered by the Maxwell-Ampere equation, the "electromagnetic wave"' propagating in vacuum will not have a magnetic component.

Published: September 2022

The increasing demand for rice and the increasing population growth rate require sustainable rice production. Direct seeding of rice (DSR) combined with the use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is needed to achieve sustainable food production. This study aims to determine the effect of the planting method and mycorrhizal inoculation on the diversity, composition and dominance of weeds in a rice field for the sustainability of agricultural production. The research used a split-plot design with three replications. The main plot was the planting method consisting of on row, drum seeder and transplanting, while the subplot was mycorrhizal inoculation divided into with mycorrhizal inoculation and without mycorrhizal inoculation. The observed variables were light penetration, weeds population, weeds composition, weeds biomass, summed dominance ratio and community coefficient. The results showed that there were 34 kinds of weeds consisting of 13 families and the dominant weed was annual weeds, most of which were broadleaf weeds. The dominant weed was Alternanthera sessilis (L.) R. Br. ex DC. (sessile joyweed). The planting methods affected the weed population in 24 days after sowing (DAS) and the composition of broadleaf weeds in 24 DAS but did not affect weed biomass. The AMF inoculation did not affect weed population, composition, or biomass. It is necessary to find mycorrhizal species that can affect weed growth.

Seedlings is the initial part of seed plant’s growth and development including areca nut palm which germination is an essential part of it. Organic mulching is one of the utmost sustainable practices, therefore, it has been employed to enhance areca nut seedlings growth. The study aims to evaluate the effect of several types of organic mulch on areca nut seedlings shoot-root growth. The 3-month long experiment was conducted according to completely randomized design, with four treatments, namely no mulching (control) (M0), gliricidia (Gliricidia sepium) mulching (M1), imperata (Imperata cylindrica) mulching (M2) and lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala) mulching (M3). The treatments were repeated 5 times with 20 experimental units. The findings revealed that no significant differences (p < 0.05) were found on the application of different organic mulching among all of the parameters. The treatment covered by imperata mulch tended to score the highest compared to other mulches on germination time, seedling height and shoot fresh weight while the minimum yield was recorded in M1 where gliricidia mulch was used. Application of organic mulch displayed better results for most of the parameters than that of the control resulting from an optimal growing environment for areca nut seedlings growth.

The flavonoid compounds in black rice (Oryza sativa L. indica) are very important for health, they serve, for instance, as antioxidants and anticancer. Giving compost tea of oyster mushroom waste (COMW) can increase plant growth and flavonoid content to black rice. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of COMW to increase the growth and flavonoid content of black rice. This experiment using completely randomized design with single factor of five COMW concentrations, four replicates respectively. The COMW was given at five different concentrations (0, 25, 35, 45 and 55%) from 25 to 45 days after planting. Parameters observed including plant height, fresh and dry weight of plants, fresh and dry weight of roots, fresh weight of grain, fresh and dry weight of total and flavonoid content. The results showed that COMW significantly increased black rice growth, the best growth was obtained by the concentration of 45% and the highest flavonoid content is by 35% concentration. No significant effect on crown height and canopy dry weight. There were significant effects on root fresh weight, shoot fresh weight, grain fresh weight, total fresh weight, root dry weight, dry weight grain, total dry weight and increased levels of flavonoids in black rice. From the research, it can be concluded that COMW increased both growth and flavonoids content of black rice.
Farmers, Traders and Households' Preference to IVegRI’s Open-Pollinated Chili Varieties in Lembang, West Java, Indonesia

Published: September 2022

The majority of Indonesian farmers plant open pollinated (OP) chili because the seed price is affordable. However, the chili has weaknesses, such as the productivity is lower and the seed is not uniform. Indonesian Vegetables Research Institute (IVegRI) attempts to create high-quality OP chili varieties that farmers could access. The study aimed to identify farmers, traders and households’ preferences for OP chili varieties that IVegRI has released. The study was carried out in Lembang Sub-district, West Java Province, Indonesia, from March to November 2019. A total of 82 respondents, consisting of farmers, traders and households, were asked about their preference for three OP chili varieties, namely Tanjung, Carvi and Ciko. The respondents were selected purposively. Data were analyzed using perceived quality. The results of this study have revealed that production per plant was the most important chili attribute for farmers, while fruit shape and color were the most essential chili attributes for traders and households, as evidenced by the final scores of 4.93, 4.83 and 4.45, respectively. Traders preferred Tanjung chili variety, as indicated by a score of 1.04. Meanwhile, the farmers and households preferred Carvi to Tanjung and Ciko varieties, with a score of 1.05. Farmers' preference for Carvi for all attributes was higher than the average among varieties, especially for production per plant and fruit weight. This implies that Carvi, as the IVegRI OP chili variety, can be disseminated widely to other locations in West Java and other provinces in Indonesia. The findings of this study are expected to provide useful information for a better understanding of factors necessarily considered to further improve IVegRI's OP chili varieties.
Analytic methods for establishing restoration trajectories

Published: September 2022

This special report identifies metrics (standard and novel) and analytic approaches to developing trajectories and then describes the conceptual process of using those metrics and approaches to develop restoration trajectories to inform adaptive management in salt-marsh systems. We identify the composite time series trajectory (CTST) approach, in which metrics are measured from restoration sites of different ages within a small spatial range, and the retrospective single-site trajectory (RSST) approach, in which the same restoration metrics are measured over time at one restoration site. In all, we assessed the metrics of 39 studies of salt-marsh restoration in the United States between 1991 and 2019.

Regions of difficult drilling including Alaska's North Slope with easily destabilized shales and formations in the Alberta's Deep Basin with inherently narrow drilling windows offer numerous drilling challenges. Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) techniques are implemented for a multitude of reasons including reducing pressure cycling, ensuring wellbore stability limits are adhered to, managing swab and surge while tripping, and managing rollover style fluid to fluid displacements.

Effective MPD techniques require accurate surge, swab, and annular friction models as they are critical to drilling operations. A comparison of modelled data to Pressure While Drilling (PWD) measurements indicate that established fluid models alone cannot be relied on for accurate modelling. A series of data comparisons show the limitations of established models to accurately predict wellbore hydraulics. The implications of model limitations on MPD operations specifically are shown and their differences to actual data are quantified.

Empathy is a critical element of subjective well-being and is an important personality trait for undergraduate students. To improve undergraduate students’ empathy, the current study examines the relationship between self-compassion and empathy and the mediating role of self-esteem underlying this relationship. Participants were six hundred and twenty-two (320 males and 302 females) students from five Vietnamese universities, aged 18-21 years ( M age = 19.5; SD age = 0.95 years), who completed self-compassion scale (SCS), empathy scale in adults (BES-A), and self-esteem scale of Toulouse (ETES).The results indicated that (1) self-compassion was positively associated with empathy; (2) and self-esteem mediated the relationship between the two variables. Therefore, enhancing undergraduate students’ self-compassion may be an efficacious way to improve undergraduate students’ empathy. However, additional study is needed to elucidate the roles of self-compassion in the educational context.

Immune cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment is associated with cancer prognosis. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play an essential role in tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis. Follistatin-like protein 1 (Fstl1), a glycoprotein widely expressed in human and mouse tissues, is a tumor suppressor in various cancers and a regulator in macrophage polarization. However, how Fstl1 affects the crosstalk between breast cancer cells and macrophages remains unclear. Analyzing the public data, we found that Fstl1 expression significantly decreases in breast cancer tissues compared with normal breast tissues, and high expression of Fstl1 in patients means prolonged survival. Using flow cytometry, we found that total macrophages and M2-like macrophages increased in the metastatic lung tissues during breast cancer lung metastasis of Fstl1+/- mice. Cellular experiments in vitro showed that Fstl1 inhibited macrophage migration towards 4T1 cells via decreasing colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFB1) and vascular endothelial growth factor-α (VEGF-α) expression of 4T1 cells. We demonstrated that Fstl1 inhibited M2-like tumor-associated macrophages recruitment towards the lung and suppressed TGFB1/Smad2/3 pathway and relevant cytokines expression of 4T1 cells. Thereby we find a potential therapeutic strategy contributing to breast cancer.

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is one of the most important complications in gastrointestinal cancer patients. However, there were few studies that predict pulmonary embolism using machine learning (ML). The purpose of this study was to develop an ML based prediction model for PTE in gastrointestinal cancer patients, and to compare its performance with the conventional model. In a tertiary hospital, patients who underwent computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) were reviewed retrospectively from 2010 to 2020. Demographic and predictor variables including the Wells score and D-dimer were investigated. A total of 446 gastrointestinal cancer patients were analyzed in this study. The overall incidence of PTE was 30.0%. Compared with the conventional model (AUROC 0.605), the performance of ML model predicting PTE was improved (0.706, P = 0.002) and was further improved with additional input of further demographic factors including age and sex (0.743, P < 0.001). The number of patients classified as requiring CTPA was significantly reduced according to the prediction with ML (1.8% vs 9.4%, P < 0.001). Prediction model based on ML might have advantages to improve the diagnostic performance and reduce the number of CTPA compared to the conventional model for PTE in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.

Published: September 2022

Background
It has been reported that EIF3c (Eukaryotic initiation factor 3c) was associated with carcinogenesis of several cancer. However, the role of EIF3c in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is still unknown. The aim of present study was to explore the relationship between EIF3c and ESCC, and further investigate the effect of EIF3c in ESCC cells and potential molecular mechanism.
Methods
The MRNA expression data and the clinical information of ESCC patients was obtained from TCGA and used for the analysis of association between EIF3c and ESCC. SiRNA transfection was performed to knock down EIF3c in ESCC cells. Cellomics ArrayScan, colony formation and CCK-8 assay was used to test cell proliferation. Flow cytometry assay was used to test apoptosis and cell cycle. Western blot assay was used to measure protein expression. Microarray assay and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) was used to profile gene expression and physiological processes effected by EIF3c in ESCC cells.
Results
Firstly, EIF3c exhibited higher expression in ESCC tissue compared with normal esophageal tissue. Furthermore, silencing EIF3c resulted in cell proliferation inhibition in ESCC cells. In addition, EIF3c knockdown induced cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Moreover, microarray assay and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) revealed 1081 differentially expressed genes (DEGS) including 593 upregulated genes and 488 downregulated genes, and the related canonical pathways and possible up-regulators after silencing EIF3c in ESCC cells.
Conclusion
Our study for the first time demonstrated the role of EIF3C as oncogene in ESCC and the underlying molecular mechanism.

Published: September 2022

Background
The role of regular physical activity in preventing vascular and non-vascular disease are well established. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major cause of global morbidity and mortality and largely preventable, but it is uncertain if regular physical activity can reduce the risk of CKD. Using a systematic review and meta-analysis of published observational cohort studies in the general population, we sought to assess the association between physical activity and CKD risk.
Methods
Relevant studies with at least one-year of follow-up were sought from inception until 02 May 2022 in MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and manual search of relevant articles. Relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the maximum versus the minimal amount of physical activity groups were pooled using random effects meta-analysis. The quality of the evidence was evaluated using the GRADE tool.
Results
A total of 12 observational cohort studies comprising 1,281,727 participants and 66,217 CKD events were eligible for the analysis. The pooled multivariable-adjusted RR (95% CI) of CKD comparing the most versus the least physically active groups was 0.91 (0.85–0.97). The association was consistent across several study level subgroups. Exclusion of any single study at a time from the meta-analysis did not change the direction or significance of the association. There was no evidence of small study effects among contributing studies. The GRADE quality of the evidence was low.
Conclusion
Habitual physical activity may be associated a lowered risk of CKD compared to those who are not or least physically active in the general population.

Reliability assessment with uncertain thresholds considering degradation-shock
Authors: Wei Chun , Shi Haiyan , Zhang Zhiqiang , Liu Baoliang , Wei Lei
Published: September 2022

There are often many reasons for equipment failure. When the performance of a certain aspect drops to a certain threshold, the equipment will fail. Affected by other factors, the threshold is uncertain. A reliability model of uncertain thresholds where degradation and external shocks compete with each other is established, and the reliability of the model are evaluated according to uncertainty theory. Under three different shock types, the reliability of the equipment is obtained. The reliability with uncertain thresholds and the reliability with constants thresholds are compared. The results show that in different periods of equipment operation, the reliability of the uncertain thresholds is different with the reliability of the constants thresholds. If the threshold is simply regarded as a known constant, it will cause inaccuracies in the reliability assessment of the system, and miss the best maintenance time, causing unnecessary losses. Taking the microelectronic mechanical system as an example, the superiority of the proposed model is illustrated.
