Salmonella infection, also known as Salmonellosis, is one of the most common food-borne illnesses. Salmonella infection can trigger host defensive functions, including an inflammatory response. The provoked-host inflammatory response has a significant impact on the bacterial population in the gut. In addition, Salmonella competes with other gut microorganisms for survival and growth within the host. Compositional and functional alterations in gut bacteria occur because of the host immunological response and competition between Salmonella and the gut microbiome. Host variation and the inherent complexity of the gut microbial community make understanding commensal and pathogen interactions particularly difficult during a Salmonella infection. Here we present metabolomics and lipidomics analyses along with 16s rRNA sequence analysis, revealing a comprehensive view of the metabolic interactions between the host and the gut microbiota during Salmonella infection in a CBA/J mouse model. We found that different metabolic pathways were altered over the four investigated time points of Salmonella infection (days -2, +2, +6, and +13). Furthermore, metatranscriptomics analysis integrated with metabolomics and lipidomics analysis facilitated an understanding of the heterogeneous response of mice depending on the degree of dysbiosis.
DeltaGzip: Computing Biopolymer-Ligand Binding Affinity via Kolmogorov Complexity and Lossless Compression
Authors: Liu Tao , Simine Lena
Published: March 2024

The design of bio-sequences for biosensing and therapeutics is a challenging multi-step search and optimization task. In principle, computational modeling may speed up the design process by virtual screening of sequences based on their binding affinities to target molecules. However, in practice, existing machine-learned models trained to predict binding affinities lack the flexibility with respect to reaction conditions, and molecular dynamics simulations that can incorporate reaction conditions suffer from high computational costs. Here, we describe a computational approach called DeltaGzip that evaluates the free energy of binding in biopolymer-ligand complexes from ultra-short equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The entropy of binding is evaluated using the Kolmogorov complexity definition of entropy and approximated using a lossless compression algorithm, Gzip. We benchmark the method on a well-studied dataset of protein-ligand complexes comparing the predictions of DeltaGzip to the free energies of binding obtained using the Jarzynski equality and experimental measurements.
MolBar: A Molecular Identifier for Inorganic and Organic Molecules with Full Support of Stereoisomerism
Authors: van Staalduinen Nils , Bannwarth Christoph
Published: March 2024

Before a new molecular structure is registered to a chemical structure database, a duplicate check is essential to ensure the integrity of the database. The Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Specification (SMILES) and the International Chemical Identifier (InChI) stand out as widely used molecular identifiers for these checks. Notable limitations arise when dealing with molecules from inorganic chemistry or structures characterized by non-central stereochemistry. When the stereoinformation needs to be assigned to a group of atoms, widely used identifiers cannot describe axial and planar chirality due to the atom-centered description of a molecule. To address this limitation, we introduce a novel chemical identifier called the Molecular Barcode (MolBar). Motivated by the field of theoretical chemistry, a fragment-based approach is used in addition to the conventional atomistic description. In this approach, fragments are conceptualized using a specialized force field and characterized by physically inspired matrices derived solely from atomic positions. The resulting permutation-invariant representation is constructed from the eigenvalue spectra, providing comprehensive information on both bonding and stereochemistry. The robustness of MolBar is demonstrated through duplication and permutation invariance tests on the Molecule3D dataset of 3.9 million molecules. A Python implementation is available as open source at https://git.rwth-aachen.de/bannwarthlab/molbar.
Bond dissociation energies for alkaline fluorides.
Authors: iakubov Adel
Published: March 2024

Abstract. The whole array of experimental data on the bond dissociation energy (BDE) and bond length values for alkaline fluorides was analysed. To this end the fundamental correlation of bond energy with its length was applied. According to experimental data the bond M-F (M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) is formed via overlapping of the occupied p-orbital of fluorine and unoccupied p-orbital of alkaline metal, which can be considered as “π-bond”. These bonds can be either in degenerate or non-degenerate states. The influence of measuring process on the result, as well as application of the resonance theory to alkaline fluorides, is discussed.

Published: March 2024

Thermal decomposition of NH3BH3 and Li(BH3NH2BH2NH2BH3) was investigated at temperatures up to 1000°C at various conditions under inert atmosphere. It was found that complete dehydrogenation of ammonia borane towards amorphous boron nitride (a-BN) occurs already at 850°C when using monel reactors or at 1000°C by hot isostatic pressing method (HIP), which is significantly lower than it was earlier reported. Li(BH3NH2BH2NH2BH3) was found to decompose towards hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) at 1000°C by HIP method while at 850°C in monel reactors towards a mixture of a-BN and h-BN. The findings are confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Published: March 2024

As prototypical organic semiconductor material, pentacene is praised in numerous electronic and optical systems for its high charge carrier mobility and important photoabsorbing capacities; still, charge generation, transfer and collection remain a critical challenge, especially when considering hybrid structures with inorganic metal oxides as charge acceptors. This study addresses the deposition of pentacene molecular layers onto indium-tin oxide (ITO) nanostructures that allow for a dynamic modulation of near-infrared radiations in intelligent glazing systems, i.e. plasmonic electrochromism. Multi-modal surface characterizations highlight a reorganization of pentacene molecules, transitioning from a perpendicular orientation when deposited on bare, non-ITO surfaces to more random organization, involving standing-up and face-on orientations, when deposited on ITO. Steady-state and ultrafast spectroscopies further reveal an enhanced optical absorption in the near-infrared resulting from the photoexcitation of the ITO – pentacene bilayers, therefore holding promise as novel photoelectrochromic structures for advanced smart windows applications.

Aim. To study changes in the electrical and viscoelastic parameters of erythrocytes using the method of dielectrophoresis in patients with manifestations of the metabolic syndrome who underwent COVID-19, when exposed to the drug citicoline in an in vitro experiment to reduce the severity of microcirculatory disorders.
Materials and methods. 31 men were examined with manifestations of metabolic syndrome (50.6±9.9 years), COVID-19 convalescences, within 8 to 12 months after the disease, the diagnosis was confirmed by PCR, ELISA. The electrical and viscoelastic parameters of erythrocytes were studied by dielectrophoresis twice: the initial levels of indicators were determined and after 30 minutes of exposure with after 30 minutes of exposure to a solution of the drug Ronocyte (oral solution with the active substance citicoline sodium – 104.50 mg., which is equivalent to 100.00 mg citicoline at a concentration of 0.01 µl per 0.3 µl of red blood cell suspension in 0.3M sucrose solution (pH 7.36).
Results. Exposure of erythrocyte suspension of patients with Ronocyte solution led to change in the levels of electrical, viscoelastic parameters: an increase in the average cell diameter (p=0.0003), the proportion of discocytes (p=0.0004), the amplitude of cell deformation at high frequencies of the electric field (p=0.000002), cell capacity (p=0.000007), the velocity of erythrocytes to the electrodes (p=0.003), dipole moment (p=0.002), polarizability at 106 and 0.5×106 Hz (p=0.000019 and p=0.0015, respectively), relative polarizability (p0.05) and, conversely, to reduce summarized rigidity (p=0.000003), viscosity (p=0.000002), electrical conductivity (p0.000001), aggregation indices (p=0.00003), destruction at frequencies of 106 Hz (p=0.003), 0.5x106 Hz (p=0.00002), 0.1×106 Hz (p0.00001), polarizability at low frequencies of the electric field (p=0.02). Under the influence of the drug, the equilibrium frequency of erythrocytes shifted to the low-frequency range compared to the initial values (p0.0000001). The revealed changes indicate an increase in the surface charge of erythrocytes, their ability to deform, and cell resistance under the action of citicoline.
Conclusion. For the first time, the effect of the drug with the active substance citicoline, improving the rheological properties of erythrocytes, was discovered. Preparations with the active substance - citicoline should be considered promising for conducting a full-fledged clinical study to study the reduction of circulatory disorders at the microcirculatory level in patients with manifestations of metabolic syndrome who have undergone COVID-19 coronavirus infection.

Background. Asthenia is one of the most common symptoms in the clinical practice of a doctor of any specialty. This is due to the high incidence of this pathology: in patients with chronic somatic diseases from 45% to 90%, with an acute pathological process – about 55%. There are no uniform standards for the treatment of asthenic disorder; however, the basis for the medical correction of this pathology is nootropic drugs.
Aim. To study the clinical efficacy and safety of the nootropic drug Actitropil (fonturacetam) in patients with various types of asthenic disorder.
Materials and methods. The observational clinical program included 50 patients (average age 43.22±14.60) with asthenic symptoms. Patients received Actitropil (fonturacetam) at a dose of 200 mg per day, divided into two doses. The duration of therapy was 30 days, the total duration of follow-up was 60 days. The effectiveness of treatment was evaluated before and after the course of therapy, as well as in the delayed period according to the scales of asthenia MFI-20, well-being, activity, mood SAN, anxiety and depression HADS (part 1), sleep quality Spiegel, quality of life EQoL-5D-3L. Patients' satisfaction with the treatment and tolerability of therapy were also assessed on 5-point scales; adverse events were recorded and the number of patients with good, satisfactory and unsatisfactory treatment results was calculated based on the subjective assessment of the subjects. Blood parameters analysis was used as laboratory assessment methods: erythrocytes, leukocytes, reticulocytes, platelets, hemoglobin, hematocrit, blood sedimentation rate, total protein, glucose, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, prothrombin and thrombin time, prothrombin, international normalised ratio, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen.
Results and conclusion. The results of the study showed high efficacy (98%) and safety of the use of Actitropil (absence of adverse events, low adverse events level during the course of treatment, no negative effect on liver function, blood coagulation and carbohydrate metabolism) in the treatment of various types of asthenic syndrome, including those associated with comorbid diseases. There is a significant therapeutic effect of Actitropil on concomitant symptoms of asthenia: anxiety, sleep status and quality of life. The antiasthenic effect of the drug does not differ depending on age and increases in the delayed period.

In running their business, cooperatives need to conduct performance evaluation to determine its health level and improve the quality in the following years. KSPPS BMT Huwaiza is one of the cooperatives that provides loan and financing with mudharabah, murabahah, and ijarah contracts. In the midst of this Covid-19 pandemic, BMT Huwaiza managed to get government trust to receive revolving fund in order to support its activities. Thus, it is important to analyze the health level of BMT Huwaiza considering that this cooperative is responsible for the sustainability of the revolving fund. The performance evaluation on KSPPS BMT Huwaiza in 2017 - 2019 resulted in a health level of "Fairly Healthy" in 2017 with the score of 67.30 and 2018 with 70.95, and "Healthy" in 2019 having score of 84.60. Nevertheless, it is necessary for BMT Huwaiza to carry out further evaluation, particularly in capital and earning asset quality aspect which is still not optimal based on the assessment of health level of this cooperative. For cooperative members, by knowing the condition of current health level of the cooperative, it is hoped that they will increasingly believe that the fund managed by BMT Huwaiza will be able to continue providing benefits in the years to come.

Published: March 2024

The article clarifies the essence and systematizes the principles of reconstruction and recovery processes in communities, substantiates the role of budgetary instruments in the public administration of these processes at the local level in Ukraine in war conditions and considering the prospects of post-war recovery.
The main principles of reconstruction and recovery in Ukraine are considered, including the immediate start and gradual escalation of the process, increasing well-being based on the principles of justice, integration into the European Union, orientation to the process of better reconstruction for the future, stimulation of private investments, focus on reforms, transparency, accountability and rule of law, democratic participation and multi-stakeholder engagement, gender equality and sustainable development, etc.
The main spheres of reconstruction and restoration in Ukrainian communities include both economic and social spheres, including reconstruction of infrastructure, housing stock, security and demining, social support, support of local enterprises, creation of new jobs, stimulation of economic development, etc.
The role of the budget in the processes of reconstruction and recovery in communities was studied not only as a source of financing, but also considering its administrative potential. Along with the instruments of direct financing of reconstruction projects from the state and local budgets (local budgets, reserve fund, subventions, recovery funds, assistance of international partners), the importance of the administrative and organizational potential of the budget has been proven. It has been proven that the program-target budget is an important tool for public administration of reconstruction and recovery processes, as it provides strategic planning, targeted financing, prioritization of measures, determination of results, cost effectiveness, monitoring and evaluation, transparency and openness, public involvement.
Considering the significant potential of the budget as an administrative tool, the direction of further research is determined by the theoretical justification of the essence, structure, goals, and objectives of the complex financial and budgetary mechanism of public administration of reconstruction and restoration processes in communities.
Teologías Feministas y Movimientos de Mujeres en Argentina: aportes para pensar la construcción del poder popular
Authors: García Marianela
Published: March 2024

Las reflexiones sobre el poder representan una demanda de la hora para los pueblos de América Latina. Si bien siempre estuvieron presentes en la academia y en los movimientos sociales, las categorías de comprensión acerca del poder han sido múltiples y en disputa: desde el entendimiento del poder como un valor negativo, hasta la relativización de las estructuras hegemónicas y la desaparición del sujeto como agente social. Es en este marco histórico, político y social que resulta indispensable, desde el campo de los estudios en comunicación, volver a conceptualizar el poder desde una mirada popular; para comprender los procesos sociales y culturales presentes en los países “periféricos” de cara a los bloques hegemónicos mundiales, que representan una verdadera amenaza a los procesos de emancipación y soberanía. Recuperar las discusiones acerca del poder y de los sujetos, plantea la necesidad de encontrar claves que nos permitan generar articulación y unidad en los movimientos populares, así como generar transformaciones políticas de bases más sólidas. En este sentido, los movimientos de mujeres presentan hoy el desafío de consolidarse como un muro de contención de los proyectos neofascistas, rompiendo con visiones conservadoras del orden social y con discursos del “sálvese quien pueda”, para dar paso a una otra forma de relación-vincular que permita trazar puentes de comprensión y sororidad con el padecimiento de la otredad. El presente trabajo intenta recuperar reflexiones y prácticas dentro de los movimientos de mujeres en Argentina a fin de evaluar las propuestas de construcción de poder popular que representa su accionar en el espacio público, dentro y fuera de las organizaciones políticas tradicionales. Asimismo, esta reflexión incorpora la articulación de dichos movimientos con la Teología Feminista Latinoamericana, bajo la hipótesis de que la propuesta ética de dichas religiosas se articula con las prácticas de transformación del orden social que proponen los movimientos de mujeres, femineidades y diversidades en la órbita nacional.

Este artículo resulta de una etnografía inmersiva en la vereda El Carmen en La Macarena, y en la zona campamentaria de Playa Rica en el Yarí; ambos lugares en el departamento del Meta, sur de Colombia. Mediante entrevistas, observaciones de campo, conversaciones y todo su sensorium etnográfico, el investigador revela una realidad compleja: la comunicación, al igual que la nación imaginada, presentan límites evidentes. Campesinos, indígenas, firmantes de paz e instituciones públicas emergen como esferas privadas, operando como autarquías comunitarias sin diálogo entre ellas. Estas entidades resisten la construcción de espacios comunicativos compartidos, rechazando las visiones contemporáneas y tecnológicas que se conectan con el posacuerdo y la paz. No obstante, esta resistencia no es caprichosa; persisten las economías de la guerra, en particular la vinculada al narcotráfico, que obstaculizan la unión y el progreso colectivo. Este análisis profundiza en los desencantos de la dinámica social y política de La Macarena y su relación con la comunicación en la era posacuerdo.

Badan Permusyawaratan Desa (BPD) merupakan mitra pemerintah desa yang solid dalam membangun dan mensejahterakan rakyat serta pemegang dan pelaksana sepenuhnya kedaulatan masyarakat desa dan berperan bukan sebagai perpanjangan tangan dari pemerintah, tetapi lebih merupakan wakil dari masyarakat sekaligus perantara antara masyarakat dengan Pemerintah Desa. Pengelolaan Desa harus memenuhi prinsip-prinsip: (1) Kepastian Hukum, (2) Tertib Penyelenggaraan Pemerintahan, (3) Tertib Kepentingan Umum, (4) Keterbukaan, (5) Proporsionalitas, (6) Profesionalitas, (7) Akuntabilitas (8) Efektivitas dan efisiensi, (9) Kearifan lokal, (10) Keberagaman, dan (11) Partisipatif. Dari seluruh prinsip pengelolaan desa, prinsip akuntabilitas dan keterbukaan sering tidak dipenuhi sehingga meningkatkan peluang terjadinya fraud sehingga diperlukan pendampingan penyusunan program kerja BPD dalam meningkatkan akuntabilitas Desa. Kegiatan pendampingan berhasil meningkatkan kompetensi perangkat desa dalam penyusunan program kerja BPD untuk meningkatkan akuntabilitas dan transparansi yang baik. Hal ini terlihat dari nilai yang semakin meningkat dari perolehan nilai pretest diatas 70 sebesar 69% dan nilai posttest diatas 70 sebesar 89%.

Como a política externa do governo Lula (2003-2010) afeta o combate ao tráfico de drogas na fronteira com a Bolívia? A emergência do narcotráfico, como ameaça não-estatal, é um dos maiores problemas sociais e securitários do sistema internacional. Isto posto, o objetivo geral da pesquisa é analisar as estratégias brasileiras de política externa para o combate ao narcotráfico na fronteira Brasil-Bolívia. De maneira específica, objetiva-se relacionar a Teoria dos Complexos Regionais de Segurança com o narcotráfico internacional para identificar a efetividade das políticas públicas implementadas para combatê-lo. Esse estudo concentra-se na relação fronteiriça entre Bolívia, o terceiro maior país produtor mundial de cocaína, e Brasil, utilizado como rota para o envio de drogas à Europa. Por meio de um estudo de caso descritivo, sustenta-se que o combate ao narcotráfico se intensifica na medida em que é tratado como um problema de segurança. São analisados acordos, reuniões e operações para a formulação de política pública de fiscalização e repressão. Como resultado, foi possível observar, a partir da pesquisa qualitativa e da análise dos dados quantitativos obtidos, que há uma correlação positiva entre a apreensão de ilícitos e a adoção de novas legislações de repressão ao narcotráfico.

O Brasil possui 8,5 milhões de km² de área e faz fronteira com 10 países, o que se traduz em uma extensão de aproximadamente 16.900 km de faixa de fronteira. A presença militar ao longo do território tem sido utilizada como estratégia para a consecução dos objetivos constitucionais de garantia da soberania, da lei e da ordem, da integração nacional, do desenvolvimento e da Defesa Nacional. O Programa Estratégico do Exército SISFRON (Sistema Integrado de Monitoramento de Fronteiras) desponta como uma ferramenta tecnológica que contribui para ampliar a capacidade do Exército Brasileiro de exercer a sua Estratégia da Presença na área da faixa de fronteira terrestre. Diante da importância do SISFRON e da dinâmica orçamentária do setor de Defesa, partiu-se da seguinte pergunta de pesquisa: orçamento brasileiro de Defesa é adequado aos investimentos necessários para a implementação do SISFRON, conforme apresentado pelo Plano de Articulação e Equipamento de Defesa (PAED)? Para tanto, o trabalho investigou o SISFRON utilizando como referência as metas estabelecidas nos documentos estratégicos brasileiros e a alocação orçamentária disposta na Lei Orçamentária Anual (LOA)e nos Planos Plurianuais (PPA).
