Groundnut, predominantly cultivated as a rainfed crop, is highly susceptible to significant price volatility. This study aimed to investigate and enhance the performance of traditional models for forecasting the realized volatility of groundnut price returns across five Indian states (Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Gujarat) by evaluating traditional models and neural network-based frameworks. Using groundnut price returns data spanning fourteen years and six months (01 January 2010 to 30 June 2024), weekly realized volatility was computed. The predictive behaviour of Heterogeneous Autoregression (HAR)-based neural network frameworks was evaluated. Neural networks were assessed using time series crossvalidation, and model metrics were employed to generate Model Confidence Sets (MCS). These sets were ranked based on model inclusion. The Extended Cochran–Armitage test was applied to identify and compare the best-performing models. Subsequently, model forecasts were tested and compared using the two-sided Diebold-Mariano test, and Model Confidence Sets were generated to evaluate predictive performance. For this unconventional weekly realized volatility forecast, the HAR (1,6,12) framework emerged as the most effective. Notably, the implementation of Convolutional Neural Network (CNNs) combined with RNNs, such as Conv1D -GRU and Conv1D-LSTM, demonstrated superior and consistent predictive performance across all states. Among standalone neural networks, GRU performed on par with CNN-based RNNs. These findings highlight the potential of CNN and GRU models as effective and accurate methods for forecasting agricultural price volatility.
Wybrane „Wergiliana” w zbiorach kórnickich (Selected Works of Virgil in the Kórnik Library Collections)
Authors: Bering Piotr
Published: January 2025

The main purpose of this paper is to present selected manuscripts and old prints containing Virgil’s poetic works preserved in the collections of the Kórnik Library. A luxurious parchment manuscript from 1466, probably written for King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary, and an old-print with commentaries by Philip Melanchthon from the end of the 16th century were selected for deeper analysis. The latter book is preserved in two separate volumes in different libraries, which provided an opportunity to compare the two. Some attention was paid to the old-print containing the Italian translation of the Aeneid.

While total RNA concentrations putatively represent ribosome content, there is a need to homologize various quantification approaches. Thus, total RNA concentrations ([RNA]) provided through UV–Vis spectroscopy (UV), fluorometry‐only (Fluor), and fluorometry‐based microfluidic chip electrophoresis (MFGE) were examined in C2C12 myotubes and mouse skeletal muscle to determine if values aligned with [18S + 28S rRNA] (i.e., criterion ribosome metric). A novel antibody cocktail (termed RiboAb) was also tested and compared to [18S + 28S rRNA] in these models. In myotubes, 24‐h IGF‐1 treatments increased [18S + 28S rRNA] (~2.0‐fold) and [RNA] based on UV (~1.9‐fold), Fluor (~2.3 fold), and MFGE (~2.1‐fold). In C57BL/6 mice, 10 days of mechanical overload (MOV) elevated plantaris [18S + 28S rRNA] (~1.7‐fold) and [RNA] according to UV (~1.5‐fold), Fluor (~1.6‐fold), and MFGE (~1.8‐fold). Myotube and mouse plantaris RiboAb levels were significantly higher with IGF‐1 treatments and MOV, respectively, versus controls (1.3‐fold and 1.7‐fold, respectively), and values correlated with [18S + 28S rRNA] (r = 0.637 and r = 0.853, respectively, p ≤ 0.005). UV, Fluor, and MFGE [RNA] are seemingly valid surrogates of cell/tissue ribosome content, although each method has advantages (e.g., ease of use) and disadvantages (e.g., magnitudes of bias) discussed herein. Finally, the RiboAb cocktail may also represent ribosome content, although this should be further explored in other models.

Objectives

This study aims to assess the potential mechanism of rutin to treat triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) based on network pharmacology followed by in vitro experiments.

Methods

The potential rutin targets were predicted, and the DisGeNET database was used to obtain the disease targets. The intersection targets were identified with Venny 2.1 software, with the String database subsequently used as input to produce the “drug-target-disease” visual network employing Cytoscape 3.7.2. Gene ontology. Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes analyses were performed for intersection targets, while AutoDock Vina was used for molecular docking and visualization. Cell viability was assessed using the Colorimetric CCK-8 test, and apoptosis was analyzed using PI/Annexin V. The predicted core targets were confirmed by qPCR and western blotting assays.

Results

EGFR, IL6, TNF, and INS were found as the primary targets. The molecular docking analysis revealed the rutin interaction with the core targets. The in vitro results confirmed that rutin inhibited the growth of the MDA-MB-231 cell line. Rutin also induced cell death and decreased the expressions of IL6, TNF, INS, and EGFR.

Conclusion

Rutin’s multi-target effects and molecular mechanism for treating TNBC were confirmed through preliminary results. The results provide a theoretical base for rutin’s possible function in breast cancer treatment.
Reference dietary patterns in Portugal: Mediterranean diet vs Atlantic diet
Authors: Guiné Raquel P. F. , Florença Sofia G. , Amaral Ana Luisa , Costa Cristina A.
Published: January 2025

Portugal is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. Thus, the dietary patterns in Portugal include both the Mediterranean diet (MD) and the Atlantic diet (AD). This review examines the characteristics of both diets, highlighting their commonalities and unique features. This descriptive literature review analyses scientific articles on the MD and AD. It addresses the health effects of both diets based on published evidence. It includes a review of 15 studies specifically focused on the Portuguese population. Most of the studies were conducted with younger people (children or adolescents) or older people, and some were made with patients suffering from a specific pathology, like heart disease, AIDS, or macular degeneration. Both diets emphasize natural, local, and seasonal foods prepared using traditional methods. They consist of foods rich in macronutrients, micronutrients, and bioactive compounds that offer health benefits. Both the MD and the AD are recommended as healthy diets, associated with physical activity as fundamental elements of a healthy lifestyle promoting general well-being. While the health effects of the MD have been extensively studied, the AD remains under-researched.

Published: January 2025

Composites based on ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM) were prepared using a mechanical rotary mill. EPDM loaded with 10 phr (part per hundred part of rubber) banana fiber (BF) treated with potassium permanganate (KMNO4), maleic anhydride (MA), or silane. These composites were subjected to various electron beam radiation doses up to 150 kGy. The physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of these composites as a function of irradiation dose were investigated. Ionizing radiation led to a significant improvement in the properties of all compositions. Besides, an improvement in the mechanical properties was attained with the addition of treated banana fiber especially that treated with silane.
