Transsynaptic Assemblies Link Domains of Presynaptic and Postsynaptic Intracellular Structures across the Synaptic Cleft
Authors: Cole Andy A. , Reese Thomas S.
Published: June 2023

The chemical synapse is a complex machine separated into three parts: presynaptic, postsynaptic, and cleft. Super-resolution light microscopy has revealed alignment of presynaptic vesicle release machinery and postsynaptic neurotransmitter-receptors and scaffolding components in synapse spanning nanocolumns. Cryo-electron tomography confirmed that postsynaptic glutamate receptor-like structures align with presynaptic structures in proximity to synaptic vesicles into transsynaptic assemblies. In our electron tomographic renderings, nearly all transcleft structures visibly connect to intracellular structures through transmembrane structures to form transsynaptic assemblies, potentially providing a structural basis for transsynaptic alignment. Here, we describe the patterns of composition, distribution, and interactions of all assemblies spanning the synapse by producing three-dimensional renderings of all visibly connected structures in excitatory and inhibitory synapses in dissociated rat hippocampal neuronal cultures of both sexes prepared by high-pressure freezing and freeze-substitution. The majority of transcleft structures connect to material in both presynaptic and postsynaptic compartments. We found several instances of assemblies connecting to both synaptic vesicles and postsynaptic density scaffolding. Each excitatory synaptic vesicle within 30 nm of the active zone contacts one or more assembly. Further, intracellular structures were often shared between assemblies, entangling them to form larger complexes or association domains, often in small clusters of vesicles. Our findings suggest that transsynaptic assemblies physically connect the three compartments, allow for coordinated molecular organization, and may combine to form specialized functional association domains, resembling the light-level nanocolumns.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTA recent tomographic study uncovered that receptor-like cleft structures align across the synapse. These aligned structures were designated as transsynaptic assemblies and demonstrate the coordinated organization of synaptic transmission molecules between compartments. Our present tomographic study expands on the definition of transsynaptic assemblies by analyzing the three-dimensional distribution and connectivity of all cleft-spanning structures and their connected intracellular structures. While one-to-one component alignment occurs across the synapse, we find that many assemblies share components, leading to a complex entanglement of assemblies, typically around clusters of synaptic vesicles. Transsynaptic assemblies appear to form domains which may be the structural basis for alignment of molecular nanodomains into synapse spanning nanocolumns described by super-resolution light microscopy.
The Moderating Role of Neuroticism on Evaluative Conditioning: New Insights on the Processes Underlying This Relationship
Authors: Casini Erica , Richetin Juliette , Sava Florin Alin , Perugini Marco
Published: June 2023

Evaluative conditioning is an effect consisting of a change in the valence of a neutral stimulus (Conditioned Stimulus, CS) that results from pairing it with a valenced stimulus (Unconditioned Stimulus, US). The present contribution examined whether and how this effect is moderated by Neuroticism, a personality trait articulated in facets and characterized by a high focus on valence. For this purpose, 242 participants completed an EC procedure and a comprehensive survey to assess Neuroticism. Multilevel analyses indicated the EC effect of negative and positive USs to be stronger for people high in anxiety and vulnerability, two Neuroticism facets. This moderation effect was explained by a stronger reaction to the idiosyncratic valence of the US. This result has implications for both EC and personality research. The findings suggest the importance of considering USs’ idiosyncratic evaluation as a potential critical aspect for a significant EC effect and provide novel theoretical insights on how the EC effect takes place in people showing high levels of Neuroticism-related facets.

Sustainable construction in a variety of industries has motivated the use of waste materials in various forms as a substitute for raw materials. Currently, the plastic waste quantity in municipal solid waste is increasing due to population growth and lifestyle changes. Thus, disposal of waste mineral bottles is hazardous to the environment due to their non-biodegradable materials. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the performance of mineral bottles (0,4,8 and 10%) as fine aggregate in hot mix asphalt. The waste mineral bottle was cleaned and crushed into the size passed through 5mm sieve with different contents (0, 4, 8 and 10%) were used as a fine aggregate in the asphalt mixture. Asphaltic concrete AC14 was used in this study. The weight for the total mixing of aggregates used is 1200g, while the bitumen 60/70 penetration grade. The Marshall stability and flow and Cantabro tests were performed to determine the optimum percentage of asphalt mixture incorporated with the mineral bottle as fine aggregate. It has been observed that 8% of mineral bottles as fine aggregates significant improvements the properties of Marshall stability from 17.81kN to 31.87kN and reduced the Cantabro loss of the asphalt mixture from 2.17% to 0.96% compared to the conventional mix. Hence, the use of mineral bottles will not only strengthen the road construction but also increases the road life as well as help to improve the environment.

Global warming, improper solid waste and environment degradations are the major challenges facing humankind. One way to lower the effect global warming is to use less energy intensive materials optimally in construction and proper solid waste disposals to protect the environment from it harmful effects. In this study, the mechanical properties of Pulverized Animal Bone (PAB) and Pulverized Animal Bone Ash (PABA) as cement replacement in concrete were examined and the mechanical properties of concrete containing PAB/PABA optimised using response surfaces methodology (RSM). Central composite Design (CCD) method of experimental design of RSM was used to design the experiment using the key variables in the mechanical properties of Pulverised Animals Bone Ash concrete (PABC) and Pulverised Animals Bone Concrete Ash (PABAC). The variables considered in the model’s development are Bone powders percentages replacement of cement in concrete at five levels (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% levels) and curing age (3, 7, 28, 60 and 90-days). The Test conducted on fresh PABC/BAPAC was slump test while on hardened concrete were, Density, water absorption and compressive strength tests. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicates that the variables PAB/PABA and curing age influence the variability in the generated models and all the models are statistically significant at 95% level in all the factors levels. Numerical method of optimisation was applied to determine optimum mix proportions for PABC/PABAC.  The optimum mix for PABC was obtained by addition of 5.00% PAB after curing for 42.24-days with 0.736 desirability. In PABAC, 5.00% PABA and 44.87-days curing with desirability 0.736 was the optimum.

A study was conducted to investigate the concentrations of seven essential elements: Copper (Cu), iodine (I), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) as well as three non-essential elements: Arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in nine ready-to-eat market vegetables collected from Kuantan, Pahang. Samples of vegetables were obtained from a local market, acid-digested with nitric acid and then analysed for elements using Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The mean concentration of essential elements decreased in the following order: Mn>Zn>Mo>Cu>I>Ni>Se, with individual concentrations ranging from below detection limit (bdl) to 207 mg/kg dw. Cadmium, a non-essential element, was detected in 8 samples at a mean concentration of 0.06 mg/kg dw, while Pb and As were not detected (bdl) in all samples. The estimated daily dietary intake (EDI) as well as the potential health risk associated with vegetable consumption were calculated. Hazard quotient (HQ) values less than one were obtained for both children and adults, indicating that consumption of these vegetables poses low risk to health.

Redox enzyme and protein modified biosensors are commercially triumphant bioelectronic devices used in the point-of-care analysis. The use of nanotechnology derived nanomaterials during enzyme immobilization creates a synergistic effect by integrating enzyme’s recognition and catalytic properties with the electronic properties of nanomaterials. This synergy improves the biosensor’s sensitivity, conductivity stability, surface-to-volume ratio, selectivity, detection limit and other analytical features. This critical review focuses on the redox enzymes and proteins most frequently used in glucose and hydrogen peroxide sensing, such as horseradish peroxidase (HRP), glucose oxidase (GOx), hemoglobin (HB), and cytochrome C (Cyt c). Besides, we evaluate the state of art of this approach, selection of nanomaterials, preparation and immobilization mechanisms, their role and sensing applications. Besides advantages, the discussions have discussed on the pressing challenges of developing these sensors. This review will guide the research community to develop rational and highly efficient nanomaterial immobilized biosensors.

Published: June 2023

The functionalization arose as a technique to improve the physicochemical properties of the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and consequently enhance the supercapacitor performance. The functionalization compound, phenothiazine (PTZ) introduces nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms into rGO via the one-pot hydrothermal method at different mass ratio produced PTZ-rGO 5 and PTZ-rGO 10. Incorporation of PTZ on the rGO sheets in PTZ-rGO 5 contributes to the high surface area (163.49 m2 g−1) and pore volume (0.3187 cm3 g−1) properties. Contradictory, overloaded PTZ not only shows a lower reduction effect but also reduces the amount of PTZ functionalized in the PTZ-rGO 10 and consequently shows lower electrochemical performance. The excellent properties enable PTZ-rGO 5 enable it to achieve 119.5 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 for its specific capacitance and drive it to be the promising electrode material for supercapacitors.

Published: June 2023

A well-designed and properly validated primer produces a specific and efficient qPCR assay. The primer’s melting temperature, G-C content, its size, as well as the amplicon’s size are the principal considerations while designing the primer for this study and it was in accordance with the MIQE guidelines. Subsequently, the designed primer was evaluated prior to the analysis to verify its efficiency and precision for the relative quantification of the gene transcription analysis. The validity of a qPCR assay is reliant on three elements; the qPCR efficiency (E) and the R2 as well as the slope, that were derived from constructed standard curve. The resulted E for the genes lasI, lasR, rhlI, rhlR and rplS are 92%, 93%, 96%, 92% and 94%, respectively. While the R2 and the slope value for these genes are 0.9991 and -3.523 for the lasI, 0.9991 and -3.501 for the lasR, 0.9989 and -3.434 for the rhlI, 0.9999 and -3.535 for the rhlR, and 0.9935 and -3.487 for the rplS. Melt curve analyses carried out post qPCR assay resulted in amplification of a single product. Resulted E, R2 and slope for all studied genes fell between the acceptable range, validating the use of designed primer for further analysis in the changes in transcription level of quorum sensing genes in treated Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Authors: Prabawathi Raman  , Fatimah Mahmud  , Shabir Shaharudin
Published: June 2023

Carbon emissions were one of the most critical contributors to climate change, and the recent climate agreement had agreed for all participating countries to reduce their emissions. Malaysia has pledged to reduce 45 per cent of its carbon emissions by 2025. However, reducing carbon emissions from the industry was still limited due to voluntary reporting, particularly among manufacturers. Thus, it is ambitious for the Malaysian government to achieve its target by 2025. A complete review is performed to go through the literature and determine the review's research path. This review aims to investigate the low carbon performance based on the manufacturing industry's low carbon supply chain practices. The findings show that low carbon production was insignificant in reducing overall carbon emissions. In contrast, the rest of the low carbon supply chain practices were by the Natural Resource-Based-View (NRBV) theory. It helps to identify companies' low carbon supply chain practices to reduce carbon emissions and meet environmental regulations. Additionally, the review also provided new insight into mediating effect that contributes to the organizational theory of NRBV. The theoretical hypotheses were tested with bias-corrected and accelerated (BCA) bootstrap confidence intervals. The instrument used in this review is a questionnaire, and the questionnaire consists of five (5) scales which tapped on (LCSCM), energy management, and low carbon performance. Responses from the respondent were collected via an online survey between Malaysian manufacturing industries. SmartPLS was used to perform the model and structural analyses. The result shows that LCSCM influence carbon performance directly and indirectly, so the hypotheses are supported. This review is one of the earliest attempts to record empirical evidence regarding companies’ low carbon supply chain practices and performance. Thus, the review shows results can be used and extended to develop low-carbon supply chain frameworks.

Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country, consisting of thousands of islands, which causes Indonesia to have various types of diversity, one of which is the diversity of languages. Javanese is the most widely used regional language as a daily communication language among Indonesians. The distinctive feature of this language is that it has Javanese script. The government has introduced the Javanese script through learning Javanese in every school. However, the interest and curiosity of students are still relatively low. Moreover, the learning media used are also limited. Learning media is an important component in achieving the success of an optimal learning process. As a result, learning media should be able to become an effective and efficient channel of learning information, allowing students to easily comprehend what they are learning. Jable Board is the result of the development of learning media in Javanese script in the form of a scrabble game using Javanese script. The method used is the research and development method (Research and Development, or R&D) using the 4-D (four D) research model. From the product validation results, two types of data were obtained: qualitative data in the form of voice response, button accuracy, and battery life, as well as quantitative data in the form of a product-related questionnaire to teachers

Published: June 2023

Learning to write geguritan is one of the materials that are difficult for students to master. Limited diction, students' disinterest in learning literature, teachers who are less creative in learning, and students' difficulties in getting ideas are the main factors of student difficulties. Knowing these problems, the researchers are trying to improve students' skills in writing geguritan using the 3M learning method using short film media. The researcher used the penelitian tindakan kelas (PTK) method with 32 students in class IX B, SMP Negeri Kroya, as the subject. PTK is carried out in two cycles, which produce data based on test and non-test instruments. The data analysis technique used is quantitative and qualitative. In the pre-cycle action, the average value is 73, this value is in the sufficient category. Cycle 1 increased the average score to 75 in the sufficient category, but there were still 17 students whose scores were below the KKM. Observation results in cycle 1 with the target teacher showing a score of 81, while student observations get a value of 80. The average value of cycle 2 is 85 with a good category, the observations show that the teacher's score obtained is 90 with a good predicate, while students get a score of 95 or a very good predicate. Increasing students' skills in writing geguritan brings positive changes. Students become more active in asking questions to the teacher, discussing with friends, and enthusiastic in participating in learning.
Morphological Evolution of a Commercial Setting: The Study of Konya Uzum Bazaar
Authors: Kuyrukçu Zafer , Çınar Raziye
Published: June 2023

Urban morphology aims to formally study the movement in space and to detect the changing character of cities in the context of time, space and physical environment. When the morphology of Konya in the historical process was examined, the first formation developed around the settlement center known as the historically prominent Alâeddin Hill. Over time, the Mevlâna Dargah and its surroundings, which are religiously prominent, appear as the second focal point. The commercial texture that was born and developed between these two focuses in Konya is the traditional Konya Bazaar. In this commercial texture, the “Uzum Bazaar”, located to the west of the second focal point of the city, was formed in harmony with the surrounding texture during its period. After the Uzum Bazaar continued its life for many years, it was demolished, and Mevlâna Bazaar was built in its place, described as a contemporary ‘passage’ in its period. At the beginning of the 21st century, this commercial texture was included in the scope of the transformation project, and the Altın Bazaar period began. The morphological change of this historical and commercial texture, which was called the Uzum Bazaar in the past, according to the periods, was studied by the Space Syntax method and evaluated comparatively. As a result of the analyses and evaluations conducted, it has been determined that the gate counts and intelligibility values have been continuously decreasing in the process following the Uzum Bazaar period, which is characterized as self. According to the integration value, it has been seen that the Uzum Bazaar period, which was formed as part of the traditional Konya Bazaar, has a higher value compared to the Mevlâna Bazaar and Altın Bazaar periods. Although the numerical values of the Altın Bazaar period are close to the Uzum Bazaar period in the connectivity analysis, they are higher than the values of both the Uzum Bazaar period and the Mevlâna Bazaar period. As a result, when the formation of the Uzum Bazaar in the first period is described as ‘essence’, it can be said that steps have been taken towards the “return to essence” with the transformation of the Altın Bazaar in the last period.
Evaluation of Optimal Criteria for Designing Solar Greenhouses in Cold Climate Residential Buildings (Case Study: Tabriz, Iran)
Authors: Babaei Arian , Alavi Pari , Almardani Mohammad , Jamei Nasrin
Published: June 2023

Since a major part of energy in cold climates is spent on heating, using alternative methods to heat buildings is of particular importance for buildings. Solar greenhouses are inactive building solutions that absorb solar energy to provide heating in the side spaces. Greenhouse efficiency depends on several factors. The research carried out so far has used these factors in the design of a solar greenhouse to reduce energy consumption, which has finally been compared with the non-applied state of this system. The purpose of this study is to investigate the physical characteristics such as “depth”, “protrusion”, “roof slope”, and “orientation” of solar greenhouses and the influence of each factor in different modes and hours in the cold climate of Tabriz. For this purpose, a simulation has been made using “Energy Plus” software. In the next step, the optimal modes of solar greenhouse design are presented by comparing the different states of each physical factor on the first and the middle day of each month in a 6-hours period. Research results show; increasing the surface while the sun is shining and using more depth when there is no sun will maintain indoor temperature. Also, using two or three-way greenhouses (east and south) increases the efficiency of the greenhouse by 30%. The roof slope has no effect on heating the room adjacent to the greenhouse. Also, the absence of protrusions helps adjust the room temperature relative to the outside environment by up to 20 %. No significant effect on temperature was observed in calculating the ratio of greenhouse area to room area in summer. But in the cold season, a large greenhouse area greatly impacts by up to 15 %.

Published: June 2023

This paper comes out of a scientific study concerning development of an AR model for the presentation the archaeological site of Alexandria Troas for the visitor experience, and on-site application of this model, through a case, namely the Podium (or Forum) Temple, to investigate the nature of that experience provided by AR and its implications as well. The study is established upon the proposition that “AR is tailored to fit to provide a compatible, accessible, and sustainable presentation of historical built environments and archeological sites to public experience, while respecting much of the problem(atics) coming along with norms and privileges of historical heritage preservation and conservation.” Departing from this ultimate proposition, it sets out a framework of questions to address. This paper provides a summary of the whole research, followed by the detailed description of the methodology and process concerning the developed model’s on-site application, and a succinct presentation of its findings, finally, an account of the research as a means of testing the research questions. Findings confirm much of the assumptions deriving from the initial proposition and showed the great potential of AR towards this end as expected. A number of issues and problems were surfaced as well, some of which are oriented from the technologies concerning the AR itself, while others are related to the limitations of the proposed model and its on-site execution. Furthermore, the research indicated a number of matters to address and possible ways to expand such research. All in all, we argue that the research yielded a number of valuable results and insights in addressing the departing problem situation, while it also posed new questions and research paths to follow for new research.

Published: June 2023

Facilities has decreased due to the developing technologies around the world. The main objective of this study is to offer an alternative solution in terms of architecture to the use of copy-type projects which are still used by the Ministry of Education in Turkey. In this direction, it is aimed to develop a software to make the spatial configuration of an educational structure in the design process controllable. In this study it is planned to design a feedback mechanism that architects can use in the educational structure design process. The data obtained as a result of expert interviews, examination of guidelines by the ministry and examination of existing types of projects with the space syntax technique were transformed into software language. As a result of analysis done, evaluations were presented in line with the obtained data and findings. Out of these a pre-notification mechanism was designed to be used in the design process of educational buildings. The feedback system, which is defined as educational buildings in the current article, can be applied in different areas such as clinics, hospitals, shopping centres and university buildings in the next stages. By using the mobile application that is emerged as a result of the research, the designers will be able to identify problematic spatial relationships by providing data to the application at different stages in the process of designing an educational structure. Thus, it will be able to intervene in a timely manner based on the problems it detects.

Phenomenological Attitude in Descriptive Phenomenological Psychological Research
Authors: Dragan Tatjana , Sondaitė Jolanta
Published: June 2023

Phenomenological approach is one of the leading approaches in the practice of qualitative psychological research. Two perspectives can be distinguished in it: descriptive phenomenology and interpretive phenomenology. A researcher intending to apply a phenomenological strategy is expected to be able to practice the phenomenological attitude, which plays a key role both in the process of data collection and analysis. This article focuses on the field of descriptive phenomenology based on E. Husserl’s philosophy and represented by A. Giorgi and F. Wertz in the context of phenomenological psychology. The purpose of the article is to reveal the essential characteristics of the phenomenological attitude, to unfold theoretical emphases and to provide certain practical insights for those researchers who decided to conduct a descriptive phenomenological study. Literature analysis is used to achieve the goal. The phenomenological attitude is described using two contexts – E. Husserl’s phenomenological philosophy and the phenomenological psychology based on its assumptions – briefly presenting both, revealing their connections and distinguishing features.

Authors: Costa Junior Valdir , Silva de Oliveira Josiane
Published: June 2023

O objetivo deste artigo foi compreender a dimensão das emoções nas práticas organizativas de uma organização sem fins lucrativos que presta auxílio a população em situação de rua na cidade de Maringá, Paraná. Para tanto, realizamos uma aproximação teórica dos Estudos Baseados em Práticas, em específico a partir de Theodore Schatzki, e das emoções a partir de uma abordagem antropológica. A metodologia adotada para esta pesquisa foi a etnografia, realizada de abril de 2018 a maio de 2019 na cidade de Maringá, Paraná. Postulamos que as emoções são uma parte importante não apenas de nossas práticas sociais, mas também de nossas práticas organizativas, possibilitando rompermos com o dualismo de compreensão do cotidiano organizacional. Este olhar mais próximo sob as emoções pode nos ajudar a compreender diferentes dinâmicas organizativas entre diversas constelações de práticas e organizações, visto que as organizações não se conectam apenas pelas práticas, mas também pelas pessoas e suas emoções. Desta forma, compreendemos sernecessário expandir os estudos que concebam as práticas como produtoras de nossa realidade social e organizacional.  Palavras-chave: Emoções; Estudos Baseados em Prática; Práticas Organizativas; Etnografia.
