Published: March 2023

The marvels of DNA recombination technology have revolutionized the field of biotechnology. Several hormones, antibody subunits, vaccines, enzymes, and interferons are being produced at the industrial level, in suitable expression systems, under optimized conditions. For recombinant protein production, a range of expression systems are available such as bacteria, yeast, fungi, plant cells, insects and animal cells, etc. Each recombinant protein has different nature due to which it requires different challenges regarding the expression system and production conditions. Every expression system has its advantages and limitations on the basis of which it can be considered or rejected for a particular protein production. Therefore, it is very significant to investigate the potential and limitations of several expression systems to choose the suitable one for particular protein production at an industrial scale. The optimization criteria of an expression system is evaluated on several factors such as productivity, efficiency, physiological characteristics, total cost, safety, convenience, and down-streaming conditions. Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae remained the organisms of choice to produce recombinant proteins for a long time, but now several other microorganisms are also being targeted to evaluate their efficiency toward recombinant protein production. Prokaryotic expression systems can be used to produce eukaryotic proteins as well however, the use of a eukaryotic expression system is preferable because it retains the structural, functional, and regulatory properties of therapeutic proteins. This review illustrates a brief view of a variety of expression systems, their efficiency, and limitations in recombinant protein production.

Published: March 2023

Water contamination is a challenging issue for the maintenance of environmental sustainability. Industrial effluents are considered major sources of water pollution which affect the quality of surface as well as ground water. In the present research work, semiconducting Bismuth Molybdate/Graphene Oxide (Bi2MoO6/GO) composite nanomaterial has been introduced as the solar light-driven catalyst for photodegradation of Direct Violet (DV) 51 dye and industrial wastewater. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), zeta potential, X-ray diffraction analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to characterize the Bi2MoO6 /GO composite material. Experimental findings revealed that flake-like Bi2MoO6 /GO composite exhibits 99.00 % degradation activity against DV dye within 80 minutes. Bi2MoO6 /GO nanoflakes degrade DV dye up to 98.70 % at pH 7 and 99.99 % with a 100 mg catalyst dose within 60 minutes, respectively. The stability/reusability study presented 99.82 % - 93.84 % dye degradation from the 1st to 7th day within 80 minutes while optimizing experimental parameters. According to kinetic studies of experimental outcomes, the pseudo-first-order model was best fitted to the obtained data with a coefficient of determination R2=0.954. Moreover, a 69.23 % reduction was observed in chemical oxygen demand (COD) during the photodegradation study of industrial wastewater. Results indicate that Bi2MoO6 /GO nanoflakes have good photocatalytic potential and stability to degrade organic water pollutants under sunlight. Such materials can be used effectively for the photodegradation of organic water pollutants to enhance environmental safety.

La producción de café está limitada por plagas que reducen las cosechas y disminuyen su calidad. Los objetivos de esta investigación fueron la identificación de bacterias fitopatógenas, descripción de síntomas en campo y sensibilidad in vitro a bactericidas de uso agrícola. Se seleccionaron cuatro fincas cafetaleras en el departamento de Jinotega y una en el departamento Matagalpa, con antecedentes de enfermedades bacterianas; las muestras de tejido colectadas consistieron en hojas, bandolas, frutos, y flores. La identificación de géneros de bacterias fitopatógenas se realizó a partir de características morfológicas de crecimiento bacteriano y presencia de pigmentos fluorescentes en King B. La identificación de especies de bacteria se realizó con prueba de oxidasa y pruebas de producción de ácidos a partir de carbohidratos. La patogenicidad de las bacterias se evaluó mediante la prueba de hipersensibilidad en plantas de tabaco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) como planta no huésped. La sensibilidad e inhibición de las bacterias a bactericidas se determinó mediante el método de Bauer-Kirby (método de difusión en agar) y fue evaluado en diámetros (mm). Los bactericidas evaluados fueron, clorhidrato de oxitetraciclina 5 WP, estreptomicina más oxitetraciclina 16. 5 WP, ácido oxolínico 20 WP y sulfato de cobre 24 SC. Las especies de bacterias identificadas fueron Pseudomonas syringae, Pseudomonas corrugata y Pseudomonas cichorii. En esta investigación Pseudomonas cichorii fue la más frecuente en los diferentes aislados, Pseudomonas syringae, fue aislada en todas las variedades de café muestreadas. Las especies de bacterias aisladas resultaron positivas a la prueba de hipersensibilidad, indicando ser patógenas para el cultivo de café. Los síntomas en hojas, bandolas y flores causados por Pseudomonas spp son manchas de coloración pardo-oscura, de forma y tamaño irregular, rodeada, generalmente por halos amarillentos y traslucidos. El bactericida que mostró mejor efecto al mostrar mayores diámetros en los halos de inhibición bacteriano fue el ácido oxolínico.

Published: March 2023

Introduction:

It is our hypothesis that physician-specific variables affect the management of distal radius (DR) fractures in addition to patient-specific factors.

Methods:

A prospective cohort study was conducted evaluating treatment differences between Certificate of Additional Qualification hand surgeons (CAQh) and board-certified orthopaedic surgeons who treat patients at level 1 or level 2 trauma centers (non-CAQh). After institutional review board approval, 30 DR fractures were selected and classified (15 AO/OTA type A and B and 15 AO/OTA type C) to create a standardized patient data set. The patient-specific demographics and surgeon's information regarding the volume of DR fractures treated per year, practice setting, and years posttraining were obtained. Statistical analysis was done using chi-square analysis with a postanalysis regression model.

Results:

A notable difference was observed between CAQh and non-CAQh surgeons. Surgeons in practice longer than 10 years or who treat >100 DR fractures/year were more likely to choose surgical intervention and obtain a preoperative CT scan. The two most influential factors in decision making were the patients' age and medical comorbidities, with physician-specific factors being the third most influential in medical decision making.

Discussion:

Physician-specific variables have a notable effect on decision making and are critical for the development of consistent treatment algorithms for DR fractures.

Introduction: In the setting of corneal ectasias, keratoconus (KC) is a bilateral and asymmetrical disease that results in progressive thinning and tilting of the cornea, leading to irregular astigmatism and decreased visual acuity. The condition affects all ethnicities and both sexes. KC prevalence and incidence rates are close to between 0.2 and 4790 per 100,000 people and 1.5 and 25 cases per 100,000 person-years, respectively. For surgeons who implant Ferrara rings, the manufacturer has developed an online nomogram aimed at optimizing patient outcomes. Objective: The present study carried out a systematic review to present the main clinical outcomes of keratoconus treatment using the Ferrara ring. Methods: The systematic review rules of the PRISMA Platform were followed. The literature search was carried out from January to February 2023 in Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. Scientific articles from the last 15 years were selected. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument. The risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 60 articles were found, of which only 21 were part of this systematic review, after an eligibility analysis.It was concluded that the insertion of Ferrara rings in keratoconic eyes with previous cross-linking history using the company's nomogram results in significant improvements in visual, refractive, and tomographic results. Corneal densitometry in the anterior layer of the cornea decreases after the implantation of intrastromal corneal ring segments and correlates with corneal keratometry. Over 5 years, Ferrara-type intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation is a safe, effective, and stable procedure for restoring vision in pediatric patients with keratoconus old.

Authors: Алоян Л. Р. , Аветисян А. А.
Published: March 2023

Из полученных индуцированных спектров кругового дихроизма выявлено, что исследуемый порфирин связывается с ДНК методом интеркаляции, а его Zn-содержащий аналог методом внешнего упорядоченного взаимодействия. Получены спектры поглощения исследуемых комплексов при разных концентрациях ДНК, и по данным этих спектров вычислены параметры связывания (Kb, n) порфиринов с ДНК при двух значениях ионной силы раствора. Показано, что места для связывания порфиринов становятся менее доступны при более высоком значении ионной силы раствора. Наблюдаются также увеличение температуры плавления ДНК в присутствии метал-содержащего порфирина, а также уменьшение стабилизирующего эффекта порфиринов при увеличении ионной силы раствора. In this work, according to the data obtained from the induced circular dichroism spectra, it were revealed the studied porphyrin binds to DNA by the intercalation method and its Zncontaining analogue by the external ordered interaction. The absorption spectra of the studied complexes were obtained at different DNA concentrations, and the binding parameters (Kb, n) of porphyrins with DNA were calculated from the data from these spectra at two values of the ionic strength of the solution. It is shown that sites for binding porphyrins become less accessible at a higher ionic strength of the solution. An increase in the melting temperature of DNA in the presence of a metal-containing porphyrin is also observed, as well as a decrease in the stabilizing effect of porphyrins with an increase in the ionic strength of the solution.
Получение изотопа 111In на мишенях 112,114Sn
Authors: Мартиросян Г. В.
Published: March 2023

111In является одним из наиболее употребляемых диагностических изотопов. Обсуждается возможность получения 111In из мишеней 114Sn и 112Sn. Анализ проведен на основе расчетных данных, полученных с использованием кода TALYS-1.95. В то время как облучение мишени 114Sn приводит к крайне низкому выходу 111In, реакция 112Sn(p,x) является перспективной из-за высоких выходов
непрямых каналов образования. Согласно результатам моделирования выход 111In в реакции 112Sn(p,x) выше, чем в коммерчески используемой реакции 111Cd(p,n) 111In, и сравним с выходом в реакции 112Cd(p,2n)111In.
111In is an important diagnostic medical radioisotope. We discuss the possibility of its
production from 114Sn and 112Sn targets in proton-induced reactions. Analysis made on the base
of TALYS-1.95 calculations. While the irradiation of 114Sn target leads to unfeasibly low yield
of 111In, 112Sn(p,x) production route is promising because of high yields of indirect production
channels. According to simulation results, the yield of 111In in 112Sn(p,x) reactions is higher than
in the commercially used reaction 111Cd(p,n)
111In and is comparable to yield in 112Cd(p,2n)

Электронные состояния в цилиндрической квантовой точке под воздействием гауссова и бесселева лазерных пучков
Authors: Саргсян Т. А.
Published: March 2023

Рассмотрены электронные состояния в цилиндрической квантовой точке
с ограничивающим модифицированным потенциалом Пешля–Теллера под воздействием высокочастотного лазерного излучения. Рассмотрены два типа лазерного излучения: гауссово и бесселево. Под воздействием высокочастотного
лазерного излучения ограничивающий потенциал квантовой точки преобразуется к новому – эффективному ограничивающему потенциалу. Например, в случае бесселева пучка, вместо потенциальной ямы Пешля–Теллера в аксиальном
направлении получается двойная потенциальная яма. Это приводит к интересному поведению энергетических состояний электрона. В частности, происходит
антикроссинг состояний, а также слияние соседних пар энергетических уровней.
The electronic states in a cylindrical quantum dot with a modified Pöschl–Teller
confinement potential under the influence of high-frequency laser radiation are considered. Two
types of laser radiation are considered: Gaussian and Bessel. Under the influence of highfrequency laser radiation, the confinement potential of the quantum dot is converted to a new,
effective confinement potential. For example, in the case of a Bessel beam, instead of a Pöschl–
Teller potential well, a double potential well is obtained in the axial direction. This leads to an
interesting behavior of the energy states of the electron. In particular, the abovementioned leads
to the formation of anti-crossing of the states, as well as to the merging of the neighboring pairs
of energy levels.

Wheat germ oil (WGO) is a natural source of antioxidant such as glucosylated hydroquinones, tocopherols and it is an excellent source of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The point of the present study is to see how efficient is the WGO against phenylhydrazine (PHZ) induced hemotoxicity in rats. Rats were divided into five groups (six rats each); control group (normal rats), WGO group (administrated by daily oral dose of WGO, 300 mg/kg b.w.), PHZ group (injected intraperitoneally with a daily dose of PHZ, 60 mg/kg b.w. for 3 consecutive days), treated group (injected with PHZ then after 3 days administered by WGO) and protective group (administrated daily by WGO for 11 days then injected with PHZ). The experimental trial was continued for a total period of 14 days. The results showed that the PHZ induced significant decreases in hematological parameters (RBCs, Hb, Hct, PLT), serum proteins (total protein, albumin and globulin) and antioxidant enzymes (CAT, GPX and SOD) activity and significant increases in white blood cells (WBCs), erythropoietin hormone, serum ferritin level, serum liver function parameters (ALT, AST, TBIL and ALP), serum kidney function parameters (creatinine, urea and uric acid) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content. Administration of WGO improved the hematological parameters, erythropoietin hormone, ferritin level, serum proteins, liver function enzymes, kidney function parameters, antioxidant enzyme activities and MDA content in rats injected with PHZ. In conclusion, the results of the present study revealed that the WGO has a therapeutic and protective roles in improving the hemolytic anemia and toxicity induced by PHZ.

Published: March 2023

Driving under the influence of alcohol is one of the leading causes of car accidents, according to risk analysis. If drunk drivers were deterred from operating vehicles through the deployment of alcohol-detecting systems, many lives could be spared. In this investigation, a sensor called the MQ-3 is used to measure the amount of alcohol in human breath. A prototype spark plug-producing ignition system is constructed to act as the ignition starter for the engine. Depending on the blood alcohol content (BAC) of a person's breath, the alcohol sensor will decide how the ignition system operates.

Authors: COZZER Roney
Published: March 2023

A Hermenêutica bíblica é uma disciplina teológica fundamental para a Igreja, uma disciplina à qual o autor deste livro refere-se sempre como sendo uma “disciplina de base”. Isso porque a Bíblia é usada pela Igreja para fundamentar o ensino, a pregação, a liturgia, a música cristã, enfim, o próprio modus vivendi das comunidades de fé. Isso sinaliza para a importância fundamental de uma interpretação dos textos bíblicos que seja responsável e confiável quanto ao que eles estão, de fato, comunicando. E a Hermenêutica Bíblica, como “ciência e arte da interpretação”, é absolutamente necessária para essa compreensão adequada da mensagem da Bíblia.
O espiritismo na imprensa – de 1870 a 1889
Authors: THEODORIDIS Nicolas
Published: March 2023

O Espiritismo de matriz europeia da segunda metade do século XIX estava inserido entre as correntes que propunham uma leitura da realidade e, em seu caso, pretendia adequar razão científica a crença transcendental. Adentrando em terras brasileiras, a doutrina sofreu um processo de reinterpretação, que, conforme a argumentação de Geertz (2004), as diferenças observadas no espiritismo francês e de sua adaptação no Brasil não se configuram como um “desvio”, mas de um ato criativo, vindo a ser este, conforme o título do livro de Stoll (2003), um “Espiritismo à brasileira”, uma versão, portanto, original da matriz fundante. A imprensa foi o local de grande debate que permeou os intelectuais da época, sendo identificados na pesquisa de doutoramento a existência de 13 periódicos que circularam no corte temporal estudado.

Vom 23. bis 31. August 2017 traten vom Pizzo Cengalo bis nach Bondo in einer aussergewöhnlichen Ereignisabfolge ein Bergsturz, ein Schuttstrom und mehr als zehn Murgänge auf. Bei diesem historischen Ereignis ging der Bergsturz von gut drei Millionen Kubikmeter unmittelbar in einen Schuttstrom über, was bisher weltweit ausserordentlich selten beobachtet wurde. Seit dem Bergsturz werden acht Personen auf einem Bergwanderweg vermisst. Der Schuttstrom und die Murgänge haben insgesamt 500 000 Kubikmeter Schuttmaterial bis nach Bondo geführt. Im vorliegenden Artikel werden Erfahrungen aus Sicht der kantonalen Fachstelle zu Monitoring, Entscheidungsgrundlagen, Gefahrenbeurteilung und Sofortmassnahmen sowie zur Räumung und Wiederinstandstellung geschildert. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Ereignisbewältigung, die nur mit ausserordentlicher Teamleistung zu bewerkstelligen war, sowohl im Bereich Naturgefahren als auch gesamthaft. Die vielfältigen Herausforderungen zeigen, dass das Geschehene durchaus als «Umgang mit Extremereignissen» einzuordnen ist. Abschliessend werden neue Fragen zu den Ursachen des Ereignisses und deren Verkettungen im Hinblick auf mögliche Entwicklungen und Lösungen aufgelistet.

Erneuerbar, zuverlässig und am liebsten einheimisch soll sie sein: Die zukünftige Energieversorgung der Schweiz. Kaum jemand mag bestreiten, dass die verstärkte Nutzung erneuerbarer Ressourcen wie Wasser, Biomasse, Wind und Sonne eine gute Sache ist – nicht zuletzt auch fürs Klima. Doch auch neue Technologien oder Ressourcennutzungen, die auf den ersten Blick sinnvoll, innovativ, grün und gut erscheinen, haben Nebenwirkungen.
Wo der Bund die Prioritäten bei der Waldbiodiversität setzt
Authors: Schnidrig Reinhard , De Sassi Claudio , Stadler Bruno
Published: March 2023

Im 19. Jahrhundert und in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts ist die Biodiversität im Schweizer Wald stark unter Druck gekommen. Die Lage hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten wieder verbessert. Ökologische Defizite sind aber weiterhin vorhanden und werden von Bund und Kantonen, in Zusammenarbeit mit der Waldbranche, aktiv angegangen. Es stellt sich die Frage, wie zusätzlich zu den bestehenden Defiziten wie Totholz, standortfremde Bestände und fehlende Altersphasen der Bestände aktuelle Herausforderungen wie Stickstoffeinträge und der Klimawandel bewältigt werden können. Zusätzlich gilt es, die vielfältigen Interessen und Funktionen des Waldes in einer zukunftsfähigen Vision für den Naturschutz im Wald zu vereinen. Der Bund und die Kantone setzen die Priorität auf den Schutz von Waldreservaten, Altholzinseln und Biotopbäumen sowie auf die Aufwertung der Lebensräume für national prioritäre Arten und Waldgesellschaften. Die Bedeutung des Waldes als Grosshabitat im Netz der ökologischen Infrastruktur der Schweiz muss aufgezeigt, verstärkt und auch in anderen Sektoralpolitiken wie der Landwirtschaft verbessert werden.
Entwicklung der Strukturindikatoren und Gehölzartenvielfalt im Schweizer Wald - Ergebnisse aus 30 Jahren Landesforstinventar LFI. Ein Auszug aus den Ergebnissen der vierten Erhebung (Brändli et al. 2020)

Der Schweizer Wald spielt für die Erhaltung der biologischen Vielfalt eine zentrale Rolle. Mehr als ein Drittel der bei uns vorkommenden Tiere und Pflanzen sind auf den Wald angewiesen. Die Ergebnisse des LFI4 zeigen, dass der Schweizer Wald ein relativ naturnahes Ökosystem ist. Die Baumarten- und die Strukturvielfalt haben weiter zugenommen, ebenso die dicken Bäume und besonders das Totholz, eine Lebensgrundlage für viele Waldarten. Im Gegensatz zum Mittelland sind die Wälder der Alpen und Alpensüdseite dichter geworden, was dort zur Folge haben kann, dass licht- und wärmeliebende Arten seltener werden. Auch sind viele Waldränder noch eintönig, auch wenn dort die Gehölzartenvielfalt und in geringerem Masse auch die Strukturvielfalt zugenommen haben. Zugenommen hat die Fläche der Waldreservate auf einen Anteil von 5,8 % der Schweizer Waldfläche nach LFI-Definition. Mächtige Bäume sind dort wie auch im übrigen Wald noch immer relativ selten.
Die funktionelle Bedeutung der biologischen Vielfalt in mitteleuropäischen Wäldern
Authors: Scherer-Lorenzen Michael
Published: March 2023

Der global zu beobachtende Rückgang der biologischen Vielfalt hat zu verstärkten Anstrengungen in der Forschung geführt, die Konsequenzen dieser Veränderungen für das «Funktionieren» von Ökosystemen zu untersuchen. Neben ökologischen Prozessen rückt vor allem die Bereitstellung von Ökosystemleistungen in den Vordergrund des Interesses: Leistungen, welche essenziell für das menschliche Leben sind und welche von Ökosystemen «frei Haus» zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Wälder, mit ihrem komplexen Zusammenspiel zwischen Organismen untereinander und ihrer Umwelt, stellen eine Vielzahl solcher Leistungen zur Verfügung. Eine spannende und auch praxisrelevante Frage ist, welche Rolle die Biodiversität hierbei spielt. Aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse legen nahe, dass die Erhaltung der genetischen, strukturellen und funktionellen Diversität in Waldgemeinschaften eine Grundvoraussetzung für eine multifunktionale und nachhaltige Waldnutzung darstellt.

En aquest article presentem les darreres novetats del projecte de recerca al castellum de Puig Castellar de Biosca, un enclavament de caràcter militar que es pot datar entre el 180 aC i el 120 aC, situat a la rereguarda dels esdeveniments bèl·lics que tenien com a escenari principal la vall de l’Ebre. En el present treball volem posar el focus en els aspectes que fins ara no havíem tractat: els espais d’allotjament de la tropa destinada en aquesta fortificació. En les darreres campanyes, hem pogut excavar aquests espais, que ens han proporcionat un interessant model de com podien ser aquestes construccions en assentaments militars estables però de dimensions modestes, i que suposen un contrapunt als models coneguts de grans campaments estables d’aquest període.

Every year the use of fossil fuels has increased, which requires finding alternative energy sources to replace fossil fuels. The existence of plastic waste, especially HDPE plastic and rice husks, is a potential to be used as renewable energy in the form of briquettes. This research was conducted to determine the potential use of plastic powder and biomass as an alternative fuel. The biomass used in this research is rice husk and HDPE plastic. To determine the quality of briquettes, several variations of the mixture of rice husks were used, namely: sample 1 = 90% rice husk + 10% High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic, sample 2 = 80% rice husk + 20% High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic, sample 3 = 70% rice husk + High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic 30%, sample 4 = 100% rice husk. The test parameters used are proximate test (calorific value), flame length test, briquette resistance test. The test results obtained briquettes in sample 3 have a calorific value of 7586,853 cal/g and have a combustion rate value of 0,83 grams/minute.Keywords: Briquettes, Rice Husk, High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Plastic, Calorific Value

В статье представлено улучшение алгоритма распознавания контуров. Идея алгоритма основана на вычислении геометрических характеристик двумерной поверхности в $R^{3}$, кодирующей данное изображение. Для получения результирующей картины контуров вычисляется фрактальная размерность Минковского по всему изображению. Описывается алгоритм постобработки предварительно полученных контуров цифровых изображений в части их утончения. Также представлена оценка скорости работы алгоритма с учетом новой процедуры в сравнении с широко известной реализацией алгоритма Канни (Canny), использующей библиотеку компьютерного зрения OpenCV и параллельную архитектуру CUDA. Приведены примеры, демонстрирующие работоспособность новой процедуры алгоритма.

Published: March 2023

Ridging has been discovered as a mechanized alternative to mounding and flat-land forms in root and tuber crop production. While manual ridging is possible, evidence reveals that manual ridging is laborious, time-consuming; hence, the need to mechanise the ridging process. A double-row disc ridger was developed and tested. The approaches of functional analysis (FA) and computer-aided design (CAD) were used. The implement was fabricated from locally available materials and tools, making it an adaptable, resilient and affordable technology for small-scale farmers. The prototype was tested at varied tractor speed ranging from 1.67 – 2.5 m/s (6 – 9 km/h) and disc angle from 40o - 45o to determine the draught force, fuel consumption, wheel-slip, depth and width of cut. Preliminary results indicate that optimum performance was achieved at disc and tilt angle of 42.5o and 25o and tractor speed of 2.23 m/s. The ridger recorded a field capacity of 1.45 ha/h and average fuel consumption of 6.3 l/ha (9.14 l/h). It was observed that increased tractor speed and disc angle resulted in increased draught force from 1.8 – 2.4 kN, increased fuel consumption from 5.2 – 7.04 l/ha (7.81 – 10.45 l/h) and increased depth and width of cut from 30 – 40 cm and 250 – 280 cm, respectively. Further research is necessary to establish the effect of different moisture and soil type on its performance. Wear and durability tests on different agro-ecologies are also recommended.
