Authors: Cubillos Orjuela Diana Isabel , Rodríguez Montaña Alejandra , Rache Cardenal Leidy Yanira , Borrás Sandoval Luis Miguel
Published: October 2024

La fermentación en estado sólido es un proceso en el cual se aprovecha el metabolismo de bacterias acidolácticas principalmente para obtener productos alimenticios con mayor valor nutricional. Recientemente, se ha logrado potencializar sustratos con bajas composiciones nutricionales como residuos postcosecha haciéndolos más digestibles para los animales. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la utilidad de la fermentación en estado sólido, en la potencialización del valor nutricional del tamo de cereales y el efecto del tiempo y porcentaje de inclusión de este residuo en la fermentación. Para esto se prepararon dos dietas, una con el 10% de inclusión de tamo de cereales y otra con un 20%, se añadió papa, harina de alfalfa, premezcla mineral, urea, melaza, sulfato de sodio, carbonato de calcio y preparado microbiano enriquecido con bacterias acido lácticas (BAL). Los productos fueron sometidos a dos tiempos de fermentación (24 y 48 horas) a temperatura constante de 20ºC. Se analizó el efecto del tiempo de fermentación y el porcentaje de inclusión del material vegetal fibroso en el pH, materia seca, humedad, proteína cruda, cenizas, extracto etéreo, fibra detergente neutra y ácida, hemicelulosa, materia orgánica, digestibilidad in situ de la materia seca y microbiología. Después de 48 horas de fermentación se evidenció que un porcentaje de inclusion del 20% favoreció la disminución del pH, el incremento del recuento de bacterias ácido lácticas, la cantidad de proteína cruda, cenizas y fibra detergente neutra, parámetros que indican la calidad del producto alimenticio, digestibilidad y utilidad para ser suministrado como dieta a ovinos.

Authors: Giraldo Ramón , Zarruk Armando , Riveros Edwin
Published: October 2024

Este trabajo muestra una metodología para estimar por máxima verosimilitud (ML) los parámetros de una distribución Burr XII cuando los datos son simultáneamente truncados por la izquierda y censurados por la derecha. Dado que las ecuaciones de ML no tienen solución definitiva en estas condiciones, se considera un procedimiento iterativo basado en el método de Newton-Raphson. La coincidencia de percentiles se utiliza para establecer valores iniciales en el algoritmo. Los resultados basados en simulaciones y análisis de datos reales indican que la alternativa propuesta tiene un buen desempeño.
Penalized Bayesian D-Optimal Designs for Regression Models of Continuous Response
Authors: López-Ríos Victor Ignacio , Rudnykh Svetlana I.
Published: October 2024

We propose extending the use of desirability functions in Bayesian optimal designs for regression models. This technique generates experimental designs with good statistical inference properties according to Bayesian optimal design theory and practical features, as defined by an investigator. These practical features are defined by a penalty function, using an overall desirability function, which is added to a Bayesian $D$-optimal design criterion to penalize impractical experimental designs. This methodology is illustrated by two examples of regression models: quadratic and exponential. Then, we compare designs obtained for different prior distributions of unknown parameters by efficiency calculations and simulation study. Results show that the $D$-efficiencies of the penalized designs relative to the non-penalized Bayesian D-optimal designs are competitive.

Authors: Rojas Sebastian , Montero Laura , García Luz Angela
Published: October 2024

En este trabajo presentamos un análisis estadístico del más reciente catálogo de exoplanetas confirmados. Usamos las propiedades físicas de los exoplanetas y las estrellas que orbitan para calcular la zona de habitabilidad, y una extensión a partir de los errores asociados a la luminosidad de cada estrella, pasando de 89 a 134 exoplanetas dentro de la región que favorece la existencia de agua líquida y una atmósfera estable. Encontramos además que 6 exoplanetas dentro de la zona habitable presentan agua y otra moléculas de biomarcadores, compuestas por hidrógeno, carbono, oxígeno y nitrógeno. A partir del conjunto de datos recolectados por los telescopios cuyo objetivo de ciencia encontrar exoplanetas, y a largo plazo, vida fuera de la Tierra, y sin incluir ningún tipo de modelado de las atmósferas de estos planetas, concluimos que se tiene una probabilidad condicionada del 2.5\% de detectar exoplanetas dentro de la zona de habitabilidad de su estrella y al menos, 0.1\% de probabilidad de observar biomoléculas en las atmósferas de estos exoplanetas. No obstante, las probabilidades calculadas con este método cambiarán sustancialmente con el censo de exoplanetas que arrojará el James Webb Space Telescope en sus próximas campañas de observación, así como otros espectrógrafos de alta resolución.

Authors: Tovar-García Gabriel Felipe , Chila-Cruz Wilmer Orlando , Montoya Giraldo Oscar Danilo , Gil-González Walter , Rivas Trujillo Edwin
Published: October 2024

Este artículo presenta la aplicación del algoritmo de optimización de búsqueda por vórtices y el método de flujo de potencia triangular al problema de balance óptimo de polos en redes de corriente continua bipolares mediante una estrategia de optimización del tipo maestro-esclavo. Este problema consiste en la redistribución eficiente de cargas en los polos positivo y negativo, respecto del polo de neutro, tal que las pérdidas de potencia para una condición de carga determinada son reducidas. El problema de balance óptimo de polos corresponde a un problema de programación no lineal entero-mixto de difícil solución. Para abordar este problema se propone la utilización del algoritmo de búsqueda por vórtices en su etapa maestra y el método de flujo de potencia triangular en su etapa esclava. La etapa maestra se encarga de definir las conexiones de las cargas en los polos positivo y negativo para cada nodo, mientras que la etapa esclava se encarga de evaluar el problema de flujo de potencia resultante y definir el valor de pérdidas para cada condición de carga proveída por la etapa maestra. Los resultados numéricos en los sistemas de 21 y 85 nodos, demuestran la efectividad del modelo de optimización propuesto cuando se compara con métodos combinatorios, disponibles en la literatura especializada. Todas las implementaciones computacionales han sido desarrolladas en el entorno de programación de MATLAB en la versión 2022b.
Advanced Oxidation Technology Using Fe0/H2O2 as an effective treatment for recycling industrial wastewater for irrigation of Lolium perenne crops.
Authors: Valencia Carrasquilla Paola Tatiana , Hernandez Niño Jhon Sebastian , Gil Agudelo Mariana Alejandra , Murcia Mesa Julie Joseane
Published: October 2024

This study focused on developing a new Phenton treatment of water effluent coming from a local industrial estate and staining industry site. Different advanced oxidation technologies (AOTs) such as heterogeneous photocatalysis, Photo-Fenton and UV-Vis/H2O2 using FeSO4, and pure iron were evaluated. To develop this study, water samples were tested before and after each treatment. In general, after AOTs the amount of chlorides, nitrates, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, TOC and bacteria significantly decreased.  Photo-Fenton and UV-Vis/H2O2/TiO2 showed the best performance in the treatment of staining industry and industrial wastewater, respectively. Photo-Fenton mineralized 100% of dyes, reduced by 99% total coliforms, eliminated 76% of TOC and 60% of heavy metals tested. Interestingly, use of iron metal in the Photo-Fenton treatment was found to achieve similar results. This means wastewater can be treated with benign chemicals. Treated wastewater was evaluated as a potential water source for the irrigation of Lolium perenne, a conventional crop in animal feed. In general, the physical characteristics of Lolium perenne such as leaf and roof length and width, were not significantly modified after irrigation with treated wastewater. Similar results were obtained using treated tap water as reference. A trace number of metals remaining from treatment was detected in grass and soil. However, the concentration of Cd, Cr, Cu, and Zn was very similar to tap water. Considering these outcomes, use of non-toxic zero valent iron metal and hydrogen peroxide in a Photo-Fenton reaction is a pilot plant scalable alternative oxidating treatment technology for recycling industrial wastewater in agricultural activities.Top of Form

Ukraine in German plans for the redistribution of Europe during the First World War (1914-1916)
Authors: Konovalov D.
Published: October 2024

The paper studies the Ukrainian issue in the context of the policy of the German Empire during the First World War (1914-1916). The author considers the Ukrainian issue in Germany’s plans to reorganize Europe; German state structures and their ways of interaction with national movements. The study demonstrates the change in Germany’s policy towards the Ukrainian movement in the context of the events of the First World War: from supporting plans to organize an uprising in Russia and create a Ukrainian state to curtailing official cooperation and switching to supporting the main competitor of the Ukrainian movement in the struggle for statehood – the Poles.
Language legislation in interwar Poland as an element of national policy: historiography of the problem
Authors: Zagidulin A.
Published: October 2024

The paper deals with the language policy of Poland as an element of national policy. The international treaties on the protection of national minorities, the Constitution of Poland of 1921 and the laws adopted on July 31, 1924 “On the State language and working language in State institutions and self-government institutions”, “On language and organization of school work for national minorities”, “On language in courts, prosecutor’s office and notary institutions” are considered.
In the Second Polish Republic, one third of the population consisted of national minorities, for whose rights the Polish Sejm adopted these laws. The laws provided for the limited use of the languages of national minorities – Lithuanian, Belarusian and Ukrainian. In certain cases, Polish civil servants were required to use the languages of national minorities in their activities. Due to their inconsistency and half-heartedness, the laws were not actually implemented and caused discontent both among representatives of national organizations and among the majority of Polish political circles. Among historians and in journalism, the laws “On Language...” also caused a discussion. Most researchers believe that the Polish language legislation did not aim to actually improve the situation of national minorities, but only to imitate their protection in order to form a positive image of a “democratic” Poland in the international arena.

Sondeos para explotación de acuíferos
Authors: Arranz Revenga Roberto , Herrera Herbert Juan
Published: October 2024

El agua es el recurso natural más importante que existe. Se usa para consumo humano, agrario, ganadero e industrial. Aunque para grandes ciudades la mayor parte del agua proviene de ríos y embalses, existen otros puntos donde también es necesario el agua y no existen infraestructura para su transporte. En estos casos se suele optar por agua de procedencia subterránea. Para obtenerla existe una serie de tecnologías, perfeccionadas a lo largo de los milenios y que están ligadas a las técnicas mineras de los sondeos y la perforación.

Existe un delicado equilibrio entre los acuíferos y su entorno debido a que son un disolvente natural de sales y sustancias minerales y, además, albergan vida microbiana. Es por esto por lo que es imprescindible ser muy escrupulosos, tanto con la normativa legal vigente como con las buenas prácticas en la construcción y puesta en servicio de un sondeo de agua. Esto es extensible a los sondeos de investigación hidrogeológica o de control.

En este documento se tratan el proceso de construcción de sondeos para la explotación e investigación de acuíferos. Abarcando aspectos como la tramitación legal, el proyecto, la construcción, el acondicionado, la desinfección y por ultimo el cierre del sondeo. También se trata, de manera introductoria, las tecnologías de bombeo empleadas en este tipo de sondeos.

A Hybrid Improved Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm for Energy Efficient Task Offloading in Industrial IoT Edge Computing Network
Authors: Boopalan Vijayaram , V Vasudevan
Published: October 2024

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a growing concept that expands on cloud computing technology. It leverages edge infrastructure to efficiently manage computationally intensive and time-sensitive tasks. By tapping into the capabilities of 7G network infrastructure, MEC can effectively reduce latency by transferring computing tasks from edge devices to edge servers. As part of Industrial 4.0 revolution, the use of large number of IOT sensors, edge devices, and edge servers are increasing at rapid phase. To effectively process these sensor and device data with less power and low latency is a key challenge. Here comes the need for an effective task offloading strategy to edge servers. This strategy must meet the industrial automation requirements of reduced energy usage and faster processing. A solution based on an Improved Particle Swarm Optimization with Genetic Algorithm (IPSOGA) is designed. It harnesses the power of effective exploration using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and maintain genetic diversity within the population using Genetic Algorithm (GA). This hybrid approach is powerful in solving complex optimization problems with the aims to effective resource allocation, faster task offloading decisions, and consequently reduce processing delays. The proposed IPSOGA is compared with popular metaheuristic algorithms like Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Simulated Annealing (SA), and it has been proven to be superior in task offloading strategy by effectively reducing processing delays, energy consumption, and optimizing resource allocation efficiently.
РН Homeostasis During Dual-Species Biofilm Formation by Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli Strains
Authors: Ganchev Ivo Todorov
Published: October 2024

In a large part of ecological niches, bacterial species are united in communities and develop together in the form of heterogeneous structures called biofilms, which are formed on surfaces of different nature and nature with the participation and as a result of the interaction of two or more bacterial species. The main objective of the present work is to study the effects of pH-value in the culture medium on the bioﬁlm development and architecture of biofilms of the bacterium (B. subtilis) during their interactions with Escherichia coli K-12 1655 strain. Effects of pH-value in the culture medium on bacterial bioﬁlm formation and the mechanisms were analyzed by the crystal violet staining method combined with cultivated microbial analysis, and confocal laser scanning microscopy. In the presence of phosphate at pH-value of pH 6,0 , the bacterial growth rates of single-species biofilms of Bacillus subtilis strains and biofilms as result of their interaction with Escherichia coli strains were similar and determines the mutualism between two strains in the structure of biofilms, formed by the participation of B.subtilis 170 and E.coli K-12 1655, B.subtilis 168 and E.coli K-12 1655 strains. Considering that static growth in a biofilm is a highly relevant growing state for many soil bacteria, more research on phosphate acquisition and pH homeostasis by model soil bacteria in static cultures is required to draw a more comprehensive picture of the role of biofilm production in phosphate use efficiency and pH homeostasis.
Evaluating Institutional Discursive Power in Regional Intergovernmental Organisations
Authors: Horesh Edward
Published: October 2024

Member states of regional intergovernmental organisations exert institutional discursive power by influencing regional narratives and policy frameworks. This influence operates through formal communications that validate specific viewpoints. The effectiveness of such discursive practices is predicated on the organisation's credibility, structure, and regional geopolitics. The interaction between institutional rhetoric and national interests often yields nuanced discursive outcomes, reflecting a synthesis of supranational and state-level priorities. At the centre of interstate dynamics is the pursuit of institutional discursive power, which has become a crucial avenue for states to participate in the creation of international governance guidelines. We consider the institutional discursive power of nations within Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) to see how it impacts the establishment of global fisheries governance systems and order. As intergovernmental organisations, RFMOs have significant influence on global fisheries governance. In order to evaluate and compare the institutional discursive power of different countries within RFMO, this study has developed an evaluation framework and model that includes competitiveness, constructiveness, and influence as its three main dimensions. It does this by drawing on a thorough understanding of the institutional discursive power within RFMO and its formation mechanisms, as well as by integrating theoretical principles from evaluation science.
Establishment of a System Dynamics Model for Sustainable Development of Ecotourism in Oceanic Island National Parks
Authors: Chuang Laurence Zsu-Hsin , Chen Eric Li-Hau
Published: October 2024

The establishment of protected areas and the practice of ecotourism are generally considered to be one of the crucial means for achieving sustainable development. This study focused on the development of ecotourism in oceanic island national parks, applying System Dynamics theory to explore the core mechanisms, system behaviors, and promotion strategies of sustainable development. We adopted the driving force–state–response (DSR) indicator framework and combined it with System Dynamics theory to construct a sustainable development model for ecotourism in oceanic island national parks. Through this model, we discovered that the intricate causal relationships between indicator factors form three dominant causal feedback loops that drive system behavior. The three causal feedback loops comprise one reinforcing loop and two balancing loops. Through the interaction and mutual regulation between these three loops, preliminary estimates can be made regarding the specific behavioral trends that promote ecotourism in oceanic island national parks. In addition, we further investigated whether the implementation of fee-based policies in oceanic island national parks contributes to these parks’ sustainability goals. Subsequently, this model could be developed into a numerical simulation program based on System Dynamics theory, thereby enabling the computer simulation of system behavior under various scenarios and conditions.

This study aims to determine the caffeine content of Argopuro Jember robusta coffee beans based on differences in post-harvest processing methods. The research was conducted at the Jember State Polytechnic Agricultural Products Processing (PHP) Laboratory and the Jember State University Integrated Testing Unit Laboratory in June-September 2022. The samples were robusta coffee logs originating from the Argopuro area of ​​Jember. The post-harvest coffee processing process is divided into four (4) methods, namely natural processing (dry process), semi-wet processing, wet (full wash process), and honey processing. Green beans from the results of each processing method are roasted at light, medium, and dark levels. The roasted bean caffeine content test from each post-harvest processing method at each roasting level was carried out descriptively (simple, without repetition). Overall, the caffeine content of the roasted beans produced in this study still meets the SNI 01-3542-2004 standard, a maximum of 2%. The caffeine content of Argopuro Jember robusta coffee roast beans at the light roast level ranges from 1.44-1.65%, 1.38-1.92% for medium roast, and 1.61-1.81% for dark roast. The highest caffeine content in roasted beans at each roasting level is 1.65% (dry process), 1.92% (full wash process), and 1.81% (full wash process), respectively. Meanwhile, roasted beans with the lowest caffeine content with a value of 1.38% are produced using the semi-wet process processing method at a medium roast level. The fluctuations in caffeine values ​​produced in this study indicate that post-harvest processing methods do not affect the caffeine content of roasted beans at light, medium, or dark roast levels.

Published: October 2024

The moth orchid (Phalaenopsis amabilis) is a popular ornamental plant due to its beautiful flowers. Propagation of moth orchids can be performed using tissue culture or in vitro methods. The medium used in moth orchid tissue culture is the MS (Murashige and Skoog) medium, which is enriched with plant growth regulators (PGRs). The use of natural PGRs, such as onion extract and coconut water, can serve as an alternative and potential source nutrition substitute for synthetic PGRs in orchid tissue culture media. This study aims to determine the effect of using natural PGRs, namely onion extract and coconut water, on moth orchid plantlets. The method employed is a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) factorial experiment with two factors: the first factor is the concentration of onion extract (0 g/L, 20 g/L, 30 g/L, and 40 g/L), and the second factor is the concentration of coconut water (0 mL/L, 50 mL/L, 100 mL/L, and 150 mL/L). Observations were focused on the increase in the number of roots and leaves. The results showed that a concentration of 20 g/L onion extract had a significant effect on the increase in the number of roots but did not affect the increase in the number of leaves. Meanwhile, the concentration of coconut water did not affect the increase in the number of roots or leaves.
Islamic Perspective and Socio-Cultural Aspects of Pre-Marital Medical Test in Sokoto Metropolis
Authors: Aliyu Barmo Shafa'atu , Yahaya Atiku Garba
Published: October 2024

The foundation of an egalitarian society is rooted in the family system, and a healthy marital atmosphere is needed to achieve the objective of marriage. Pre-marital medical test plays a vital role that cannot be overemphasized, particularly in limiting the spread of some infectious diseases, such as sickle cell, HIV, thalassemia, etc. However, the fact that some resistance was relatively recorded on the pre-marital medical tests among people in the Sokoto metropolis does not mean it has no place in Islam. The study intends to assess the level and attitudes of Muslims of Sokoto State towards the pre-marital test. The paper specifically examines the extent to which the pre-marital medical test is observed in the metropolis and the societal perception of it from the Islamic perspective, bearing in mind that preserving human life is among the significant goals of Shari'ah in Islam. Hence, the paper discovers less patronage of pre-marital medical tests by people in the Sokoto metropolis, which many attributed to ignorance of their existence and poor perception of them. The paper underpins the importance of having these tests by would-be couples before marriage as well as the position of Islam on them so that people in the state can embrace them accordingly. The paper adopted a qualitative survey where interviews were conducted with individuals and the researchers purposively selected participants. In conclusion, the study highlighted some of the importance of pre-marital medical tests among the Muslim Ummah.

Young adolescents are in particular increasingly experiencing obesity and overweight due to their sedentary lifestyles, excessive electronic media use, and lack of physical activity (PA). This trend is linked to the development of non-communicable diseases in later life. Moreover, data regarding the lack of PA is available in Pakistan, but a gap exists in the comparative analysis of physical activity levels between rural and urban adolescents. Rural and urban areas exhibit distinctions in both geographical settings and technological advancements, potentially influencing the PA levels of their respective inhabitants.
Purpose
The study aimed to compare physical activity levels among school-age adolescents in rural and urban areas of Swat, KPK, Pakistan. In addition, the study also aimed to explore how gender, age, grade, and school type influenced the PA levels of adolescents.
Method
A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out with a sample size of 287 school-age adolescents (aged 10 to 14 years) selected from 08 public and private middle schools in rural and urban areas of district Swat, KPK, Pakistan. The data about physical activity was collected using a researcher-administered questionnaire adapted from the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C). In addition, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 was used for the analysis of data.
Findings
The mean PA score for rural adolescents was 3.65±0.38, whereas the mean PA score for urban adolescents was 2.22±0.47. Thus, there was a mean difference of 1.43 which was significant at 0.05 level of significance (t= 28.11, p value=<0.001). In addition, a significant difference between private and government school-age adolescents’ PA levels was found (t-value (3.73), df (285) p-value of (<0.001). Moreover, there was no significant difference in PA levels in terms of gender and grade of adolescents. Further, a very low negative correlation was found (r = -0.1) between the age and PA scores of school-age adolescents.
Conclusion
Place of residence has an impact on the PA level of adolescents because the study found a significant difference in the mean PA levels of school-age adolescents in rural and urban areas. It is recommended to conduct future research to identify the factors that contribute to disparities in PA among adolescents residing in rural and urban areas.

The objective of this paper is to design an adaptive intrusion detection system that combines Signature Based Intrusion Detection System (SNIDS) and machine learning/deep learning techniques to enhance the anomaly detection.The rapid advancement of digital technology has fueled an unprecedented growth in computer networks, which has played a vital role in fostering social and economic development. These networks have become indispensable across critical sectors and within leading multinational corporations. However, the number of security threats targeting computer networks has increased significantly over the past decade, becoming increasingly audacious and pervasive. The networks display significant heterogeneity and are subjected to a relentless stream of diverse and evolving attacks, emphasizing the necessity for an adaptive IDS system capable of adjusting to new and changing network environments.In this study, we propose a Adaptive hybrid NIDS designed to detect cyber attacks in an heterogeneous attack environment. Our NIDS framework leverages the adaptive learning techniques used along with the signature base IDS and machine learning based IDS to detect unknown attacks. Various machine learning models, including LSTM, CNN, MLP, and Decision Tree are used in this adaptive system. Our hybrid Network intrusion detection model is based on Snort-3 as the SNIDS, which provides high efficiency and better prediction results. The network baseline includes the set of benign traffic patterns and self generated datasets using Metasploit and Scapy. Our study compares the results of models trained on CICIDS2017 dataset and the generated dataset. The generated dataset provides better flexibility and performance in real-time setup due to the use of Zeek-flowmeter instead of CICFlowmeter. To detect real-time dynamic traffic attacks, a dashboard integrated with SNIDS and ML/DL-based IDS is developed. This dashboard is subsequently utilized to assess the Adaptive NIDS in a real-time dynamic network environment.

Disordered hemostasis associated with life-threatening hemorrhage commonly afflicts patients in the emergency room, critical care unit, and perioperative settings. Rapid and sensitive hemostasis phenotyping is needed to guide administration of blood components and hemostatic adjuncts to reverse aberrant coagulofibrinolysis. Here, resonant acoustic rheometry (RAR), a technique that quantifies the viscoelastic properties of soft biomaterials, was applied to assess plasma coagulation in a cohort of bleeding patients with concomitant clinical coagulation assays and whole blood thromboelastography (TEG) as part of their routine care. RAR captured the dynamic characteristics of plasma coagulation that were coagulation activators-dependent. RAR coagulation parameters correlated with TEG reaction time and TEG functional fibrinogen, especially when stratified by comorbidities. A quadratic classifier trained on RAR parameters predicted transfusion of fresh frozen plasma and cryoprecipitate with high overall accuracy. These results demonstrate the potential of RAR as a bedside hemostasis assessment to guide transfusion in bleeding patients.

Objective To explore the differential gene expression in peripheral blood immune cells of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), comparing those with and without non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR).Methods From 117 potential participants, 51 were selected for detailed analysis: 9 healthy donors (HDs), 19 with DM, and 23 with NPDR. We analyzed peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using RNA sequencing and qPCR to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and used flow cytometry to assess protein expression.Results In NPDR patients compared to those with DM alone, MerTK—a gene linked to inherited retinal dystrophies—was notably downregulated in PBMCs. Flow cytometry revealed MerTK predominantly in monocytes and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), with reduced expression in CD4 + and CD8 + T cells and natural killer T (NKT) cells. DM patients showed significant deviations in PBMC composition, especially in B cells, CD4 + T cells, and NK cells, compared to HDs.Conclusions The study indicates that MerTK expression in T cells within PBMCs could act as a viable blood biomarker for NPDR risk in DM patients. Furthermore, the regulation of T cells by MerTK might represent a critical pathway through which DM evolves into NPDR.

Patients with acute cardiovascular disease require out-of-hospital care during the most critical and vulnerable periods of their illness. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the influence of musical intervention in patients with acute cardiovascular disease during transfer in Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulances by means of an analytical randomized controlled case-control experimental study conducted according to CONSORT guidelines. Forty-one subjects took part in the study. Statistically significant differences were found for blood pressure (p < 0.05). The 26.8% of the patients required the administration of cardiovascular drugs, 12.2% antiemetics and 17.1% opioids. Statistically significant differences were found for blood pressure and the variable cardiovascular drugs between groups. The use of music therapy to complement other health measures in ALS ambulances lowers blood pressure values and reduces the need to administrate cardiovascular drugs, thus avoiding their possible side effects. It is easy to implement and has a low cost and should be monitored and controlled as a specific nursing intervention. Music intervention should be monitored and controlled as a specific nursing intervention, included in the care of patients transferred by ambulances on a routine basis.

Excessive DNA damage triggers various types of programmed cell death (PCD), yet the regulatory mechanism of DNA damage-induced cell death is not fully understood. Here, we report that PANoptosis, a coordinated PCD pathway including pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis, is activated by DNA-damage. The Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1) is the apical sensorof PANoptosis and essential for PANoptosome assembly in response to DNA damage. We find endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are activated by DNA damage and act as ligands for ZBP1 to trigger PANoptosis. By using ZBP1 knock-out and knock-in mice disrupting ZBP1 nucleic acid-binding activity, we demonstrate that ZBP1-mediated PANoptosis contributes to toxic effects of chemotherapeutic drugs, which is dependent on ZBP1 nucleic acid-binding activity. We found ZBP1 expression is downregulated in tumor tissue. Furthermore, in colorectal cancer patients, dsRNA is induced by chemotherapy and sensed by ZBP1 in normal colonic tissues, suggesting ZBP1-mediated PANoptosis is activated by chemotherapy in normal tissues. Our findings indicate ZBP1-mediated PANoptosis is activated by DNA damage and contributes to toxic side effects of DNA-damage based chemotherapy. These data suggest that ZBP1 could be a promising therapeutic target to alleviate chemotherapy-related side effects.
