Curcumin as a Perspective Protection for Retinal Pigment Epithelium
during Autophagy Inhibition in the Course of Retinal Degeneration
Authors: Pinelli Roberto , Ferrucci Michela , Biagioni Francesca , Bumah Violet , Scaffidi Elena , Puglisi-Allegra Stefano , Fornai Francesco
Published: July 2023

Defective autophagy in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is involved in retinal degeneration,
mostly in the course of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is an increasingly prevalent
retinal disorder, eventually leading to blindness. However, most autophagy activators own serious
adverse effects when administered systemically. Curcumin is a phytochemical, which induces autophagy
with a wide dose-response curve, which brings minimal side effects. Recent studies indicating
defective autophagy in AMD were analyzed. Accordingly, in this perspective, we discuss and provide
some evidence about the protective effects of curcumin in preventing RPE cell damage induced by the
autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA). Cells from human RPE were administered the autophagy
inhibitor 3-MA. The cell damage induced by 3-MA was assessed at light microscopy by hematoxylin
& eosin, Fluoro Jade-B, and ZO1 immunohistochemistry along with electron microscopy. The autophagy
inhibitor 3-MA produces cell loss and cell degeneration of RPE cells. These effects are counteracted
dose-dependently by curcumin. In line with the hypothesis that the autophagy machinery is
key in sustaining the integrity of the RPE, here we provide evidence that the powerful autophagy inhibitor
3-MA produces dose-dependently cell loss and cell degeneration in cultured RPE cells, while
inhibiting autophagy as shown by LC3-II/LC3-I ratio and gold-standard assessment of autophagy
through LC3-positive autophagy vacuoles. These effects are prevented dose-dependently by curcumin,
which activates autophagy. These data shed the perspective of validating the role of phytochemicals as
safe autophagy activators to treat AMD.
Caffeine Electrochemical Sensor Constructed by Graphene Oxide and
Reduced Graphene Oxide: A Mini-review
Authors: Yang Gan
Published: July 2023

It is very important to determine the concentration of target substances in food safety, environmental
detection, and drug supervision. Caffeine, a natural alkaloid, is widely found in various drinks
and drugs. In addition to its beneficial functions, caffeine also has certain negative effects. Therefore, it is
very important to determine the concentration of caffeine in drugs, beverages, wastewater, and other media.
Among various analytical techniques, electrochemical sensors occupy a special position because of
their high efficiency, rapidity, and relative ease to obtain the required preparation and measurement conditions.
In the past decades, great progress has been made in the determination of caffeine using graphene
oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as electrochemical sensor materials. GO and RGO have
the advantages of low preparation cost, significant dissolution in polar solvents, such as water, wide
working potential range, and relatively high electrochemical inertia in various redox reactions. Moreover,
due to π-π interaction and other reasons, their reactivity to caffeine is higher; therefore, GO and RGO
applications in caffeine sensors are more popular, and good results have been obtained in selectivity and
sensitivity. In this study, the related literature on caffeine in electrochemical sensors preparation with GO
and RGO in recent years is reviewed, with the aim of helping researchers working in this research field.

Authors: Zhou Mingzhang , Sun Haixin , Wang Junfeng , Xie Zhuofan , Feng Xiao
Published: July 2023

Background:

To resist the time-variant underwater acoustic (UWA) channel, large amounts of channel estimation algorithms for the UWA orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) are presented. An updated review of the recent UWA OFDM channel estimators is suggested in this article.

Objective:

The goal of this work is to review and conclude the development of different types of channel estimators. The possible perspectives about the future UWA channel estimator design are also discussed.

Methodology:

The principles and performances of the linear channel estimators, the compressed sensing (CS)-based channel estimators, and the neural network (NN)-based channel estimators are reviewed and discussed. Simulations are conducted to compare the typical implementations of the different methods.

Conclusion:

To take more channel state characteristics into account, the data-driven methods have been applied in the channel estimator design. Compared with the linear and CS-based methods, the NN-based channel estimator shows the higher performance, robustness and lower complexity, which is promising to be applied with the proper structure and training sets.

Authors: Anufrieva V. G. , Lebedenko E. Yu. , Voloshin V. V. , Gaida O. V.
Published: July 2023

Objective: To improve the management of mild cervical dysplasia by correcting serum folic acid as an epigenetic risk factor for disease progression.

   Materials and methods: 90 patients with different outcomes of dynamic follow-up of LSIL associated with one type of HPV VCR were included in the study (16, 18, 33). Group I — 43 patients with regression of the disease; Group II — 30 patients with persistence of HPV infection and group III — 17 patients with LSIL progression. The effectiveness of the differentiated approach to the management of patients in the study groups was assessed based on the results of cytology of cervical smears and immunocytochemical reaction, the level of viral load, the results of colposcopic examination, and the dynamics of serum folic acid levels. Statistical processing of the results was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 28.0.1.1, STATISTICA 13.5.0.17 and MedCalc 20.027.

   Results: the prognostic significance of a number of anamnestic parameters and serum folate deficiency, the totality of which can be used as predictors of disease outcome progression, has been established; a computer program has been developed to calculate the individual risk of disease progression (IRD), which facilitates the use of the developed method for calculating progression in clinical practice.

   Conclusions: The proposed method with a high degree of reliability and informativeness allows predicting the progression of LSIL without violating the algorithm of current clinical recommendations, timely forming among patients a high-risk group for the development of a more severe form of the disease (HSIL) and individually determining further treatment tactics.

Authors: Alimurzaeva M. M. , Izudinova S. M. , Dzhafarova A. M. , Khalilov R. A.
Published: July 2023

Objective: to study the effects of a new coronovirus infection on a number of standard biochemical blood parameters in patients of different ages.

   Materials and methods: 514 patients of 3 age groups (group 1st — 25–35 years old, group 2nd — 36–50 years old and group 3rd — over 51 years old) with a diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia caused by COVID-19 infection were studied. All biochemical parameters of the blood of patients were determined using an Indiko biochemical analyzer.

   Results: the study of nitrogen metabolism indicators showed that in patients of all age groups, the content of total protein and urea does not undergo significant changes, however, there is an increase in the concentration of creatinine and uric acid, which is most pronounced in patients of the group 3rd. The study of the activities of AST, ALT in the blood of patients showed a significant increase in all age categories, more significant in persons of the groups 2nd and 3rd. At the same time, the activity of α-amylase, the concentration of bilirubin increase with age, and the levels of iron decrease, reaching pathological values. The content of the inflammation marker — CRP shows the most pronounced dependence on the age of patients: in patients of the group 1st, it increases by 6.9 times, in the 2nd group — by 12.3 times, in patients over 51 years old — by 17.25 once.

   Conclusion: with an increase in the age of patients, the deviations of many biochemical parameters from the control levels corresponding to each group become more pronounced and reach values that deviate significantly from the reference.
Application of a Comprehensive Evaluation Framework to COVID-19 Studies: Systematic Review of Translational Aspects of Artificial Intelligence in Health Care
Authors: Casey Aaron Edward , Ansari Saba , Nakisa Bahareh , Kelly Blair , Brown Pieta , Cooper Paul , Muhammad Imran , Livingstone Steven , Reddy Sandeep , Makinen Ville-Petteri
Published: July 2023

Background

Despite immense progress in artificial intelligence (AI) models, there has been limited deployment in health care environments. The gap between potential and actual AI applications is likely due to the lack of translatability between controlled research environments (where these models are developed) and clinical environments for which the AI tools are ultimately intended.

Objective

We previously developed the Translational Evaluation of Healthcare AI (TEHAI) framework to assess the translational value of AI models and to support successful transition to health care environments. In this study, we applied the TEHAI framework to the COVID-19 literature in order to assess how well translational topics are covered.

Methods

A systematic literature search for COVID-19 AI studies published between December 2019 and December 2020 resulted in 3830 records. A subset of 102 (2.7%) papers that passed the inclusion criteria was sampled for full review. The papers were assessed for translational value and descriptive data collected by 9 reviewers (each study was assessed by 2 reviewers). Evaluation scores and extracted data were compared by a third reviewer for resolution of discrepancies. The review process was conducted on the Covidence software platform.

Results

We observed a significant trend for studies to attain high scores for technical capability but low scores for the areas essential for clinical translatability. Specific questions regarding external model validation, safety, nonmaleficence, and service adoption received failed scores in most studies.

Conclusions

Using TEHAI, we identified notable gaps in how well translational topics of AI models are covered in the COVID-19 clinical sphere. These gaps in areas crucial for clinical translatability could, and should, be considered already at the model development stage to increase translatability into real COVID-19 health care environments.
Prospective Association Between Video and Computer Game Use During Adolescence and Incidence of Metabolic Health Risks: Secondary Data Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Lebby Stephanie R , Shyam Sangeetha , Ramadas Amutha , Bohm Andrew R , Hill Julia C , Fortuna Karen L , Zoltick Stephanie R
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND

Video and computer games are popular activities, with 72% of adolescents aged 13 to 17 years reporting video game use on either a computer, game console, or portable device. Despite high levels of video and computer game use in adolescence, relatively little scientific literature exists examining the association and effects of video and computer games on adolescents.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence of video and computer game use among US adolescents and rates of positive screens for obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure (BP), and high cholesterol.

METHODS

A secondary data analysis was conducted using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) data, including adolescents aged 12 to 19 years between 1994 and 2018.

RESULTS

Respondents (n=4190) who played the most video and computer games had a significantly (P=.02) higher BMI and were more likely to self-report having at least one of the evaluated metabolic disorders: obesity (BMI >30 kg/m2), diabetes, high BP (BP >140/90), and high cholesterol (>240). With increased video or computer game use, there was a statistically significant increase in high BP rates in each quartile, with those with more frequent use also having higher rates of high BP. A similar trend was observed for diabetes, though the association did not reach statistical significance. No significant association was observed between video or computer game use and diagnoses of dyslipidemia, eating disorders, or depression.

CONCLUSIONS

Frequency of video and computer game use is associated with obesity, diabetes, high BP, and high cholesterol in adolescents aged 12 to 19 years. Adolescents who play the most video and computer games have a significantly higher BMI. They are more likely to have at least one of the evaluated metabolic disorders: diabetes, high BP, or high cholesterol. Public health interventions designed to target modifiable disease states through health promotion and self-management may support the health of adolescents aged 12 to 19 years. Video and computer games can integrate health promotion interventions in gameplay. This is an important area for future research as video and computer games are integrated into the lives of adolescents.

Determinant grammar of the Russian language as an academic grammar of a new type
Authors: Valentinova Olga I. , Rybakov Mikhail A. , Ekshembeeva Lyudmila V.
Published: July 2023

The relevance of the research is caused by the need to find a method that provides a complete and systematic presentation of Russian grammar. The aim of the study is to discuss the prospects for creating a grammar that will clarify the reasons for the features of each level of the language and the principle of mutual functional coordination of all levels. Structural and systemic models for constructing grammatical theory became the object of the study, and a comparative systemic analysis of these models was used as a method. The authors show that there are objective prerequisites for the successful creation of a new model of academic grammar - determinant theory of language developed by the founder of modern systemic linguistics G.P. Melnikov. The most stable property of the language system (internal determinant), acquired as a result of its adaptation to the conditions of communication, makes it possible to explain the interdependence of the composition of vowels and consonants, the structure of the syllable, morpheme and word form, the means of syntactic connection of words in a sentence, the features of the internal form of the language, the non-randomness of the composition of grammatical categories and grammatical ways of expressing them. The internal determinant of the inflectional Russian language, formed in the conditions of poor awareness of the interlocutors about each other, formulated as the need to save the length of the speech stream due to the appearance of a large number of joint-meaning morphemes, makes it possible to explain and link such features of the Russian language as the widespread use of internal inflection and fusion, the preparedness of word forms, methods and functions of affixation, the non-randomness of the grammatical categories of tense, person and case, and ways of expressing them. Research prospects are associated with the uniqueness of the determinant approach, which synthesizes the possibilities of typological and historical approaches and makes it possible to establish the meaning and mutually agreed function of each element of the form. Therefore, it allows to create an academic grammar not of a descriptive, but of an explanatory nature.

SLOW AND FAST SUBSYSTEMS FOR COMPLEX UNCOMPETITIVE INHIBITOR MECHANISMS
Authors: Hamad Honar , Khoshnaw Sarbaz Hamza Abdullah , Shahzad Muhammad
Published: July 2023

To fully understand intricate enzyme reaction models, one must explore beyond the confines of chemical and biological tools and look toward mathematical modeling and model reduction techniques. Mathematical modeling and model reduction techniques have the potential to provide a vast array of analysis tools for such models. This piece of work entails a review and discussion of a complex noncompetitive inhibitor model. This model is composed of seven non-linear differential equations with constant rates. We propose two efficient model reduction techniques: quasi- steady-state approximation (QSSA) and quasi-equilibrium approximation (QEA). By utilizing the suggested methods, the model equations are segregated into slow and fast subsystems, leading to the attainment of reduced models and slow manifolds with fewer variables and parameters. The outcomes manifest some analytical approximate solutions for the proposed model and establish a profound agreement between model dynamics for both the original and the reduced models. Observing that the reduced models can accurately identify certain critical model parameters is intriguing.
Towards numeracy literacy development: A single-case study on the use of the living book homeschooling model
Authors: Dewantara Andi Harpeni , Setiawati Farida Agus , Saraswati Sari
Published: July 2023

Public schools are not always believed to be able to support the development of an individual's potential comprehensively. Homeschooling, an educational program where students learn from home, is currently an alternative education. This study aims to reveal why parents choose to homeschool their children and describe how a homeschooler parent as a single tutor develops her child’s numeracy literacy skills in living book homeschooling. This research is a holistic single-case study with two subjects: a homeschooler (J) and his mother (UPL) as the tutor. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and document analysis of J’s learning activities. Thematic analysis with Atlas.ti software was employed. Findings reveal that the parents’ main reasons for homeschooling are dissatisfaction with public school instruction and flexibility to comprehensively develop homeschoolers’ skills. In addition, the integration of RME (Realistic Mathematics Education) in the living book homeschooling model is a very powerful support to students’ literacy numeracy development. Practically, there are three main strategies implemented; the use of real contexts and concrete teaching aids, as well as an emphasis on conceptual understanding and high-order thinking skills.
How art made me (in)sane
Authors: Nabila Ayu Aviani
Published: July 2023

From the moment I was born, my grandmother said the following words to my mother about me:

“Be careful with this one, this child will be tough as a rock.”

My grandmother was not wrong. I was a tough child – I am a tough child. It was not until later during my teenage years that I was diagnosed with the disorders that would completely shift my world. I spiralled down deeper into agony and self-destructive behaviours. My mental health consistently deteriorated, my disorders consuming every bit of me, and I felt insane.

In art, I found my escape. Through Edvard Munch, a mastermind who was able to decipher and express his troubles in art, I felt less alone. Unable to cope with my intense emotions, I have always been convinced that I am, in one way or another, insane.

And for the first time, through art, I felt somewhat sane.

Indonesia has entered a decline in Covid-19 cases. Based on this, the government is considering implementing the Face-to-Face Learning (PTM) process in early 2021. Readiness for the implementation of PTM carried out in schools must pay attention to readiness from an internal and external perspective. The readiness for the implementation of PTM from an internal perspective is the support from parents and teachers. This support can be in the form of managing the child's stress, encouragement to express the child's feelings, as well as important mental support for the child. This study uses a qualitative research approach. The method used is literature study and the data collection method is in the form of documentation. This study was used to understand the mental health of elementary school students in dealing with the implementation of PTM. The analytical method used in this study is the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method. The readiness for the implementation of PTM on the mental health of elementary school students can be handled in three ways, namely providing students with knowledge about Covid-19, knowing their own health conditions and being able to take steps according to their own health conditions. The readiness for the implementation of PTM from schools greatly affects the mental health of children. Therefore, there is a need for careful preparation both internally and externally.Keywords: Face-to-face Learning Readiness; Mental health; Elementary School Student

Thesis is mandatory for final year students as one of the requirements for completing the undergraduate program. The method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Descriptive approach is a method that explains, describes and describes the phenomena that occur as they should. This research departs from final semester students at Raden Mas Said Surakarta State Islamic University who have difficulty writing a thesis. Data collection was carried out by interviewing 5 students from different faculties, namely the Ushuludin Da'wah Faculty, the Sharia Faculty, the Adab and Language Faculty, the Tarbiyah Faculty, and the Islamic Economics and Business Faculty. The results of this study revealed that students who experienced problems in completing their thesis were caused by internal factors and external factors. Internal factors are factors from within a person which include self-motivation, emotions, thesis writing ability, and activities outside of academics. While external factors are factors that come from outside, including family factors, communication with peers, as well as faculty policies and meetings with supervisors.

La asociación estudiantil del Instituto de Ciencias de Zacatecas y su lucha por la obtención de sus libertades
Authors: Tarango Rodríguez Liliana Libertad
Published: July 2023

Tras la obtención de la autonomía de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) en 1933, ante el avance de la doctrina socialista en diversos países del mundo y frente a los cambios que esta corriente política, económica e ideológica proponía, las instituciones escolares de Zacatecas, México, se vieron forzadas a plantear un cambio en sus modelos educativos. Estas transformaciones también cambiaron la manera en la que los estudiantes se agrupaban para luchar por sus objetivos, como la libertad de cátedra y de pensamiento. La presente investigación analiza la participación de las asociaciones de estudiantes del Instituto de Ciencias de Zacatecas (ICZ) en la década de 1930, período en la que los postulados socialistas tomaron mayor relevancia. La participación estudiantil del ICZ forjó una intervención más activa de los alumnos en asuntos políticos y académicos, lo que se vio plasmado en la creación de congresos y mesas directivas. Además, la construcción y consolidación de un ICZ autónomo y colaborativo que sería el basamento ideológico en el que se instauraría la Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas (UAZ) en 1968.
Discurso parlamentario sobre la censura de prensa durante la guerra del Chaco (1932-1934)
Authors: Alvarado Oliver
Published: July 2023

El artículo estudia el discurso de los diputados bolivianos con respecto a la política de censura de prensa establecida durante la guerra del Chaco. Se plantea que existieron dos discursos en oposición: por un lado, el fomento de una política parlamentaria de censura de prensa amparada en las categorías de defensa nacional, libertinaje y traición a la patria; y, por otro, la interpelación a la censura parlamentaria sustentada en el principio constitucional de la libertad de expresión. Ambos discursos expresaron distintas visiones sobre la guerra y el papel de la prensa; y fueron flexibles en el tiempo acorde a la dinámica del conflicto bélico y la disputa política interna entre liberales, republicanos y conservadores. A nivel metodológico, se trabajó mediante el análisis del discurso de los Diarios de Debates de la Honorable Cámara de Diputados durante el contexto que va de 1932 a 1934.
Hemerografía, gráfica y paz en los comienzos del siglo XX colombiano
Authors: Ayala Diago César Augusto
Published: July 2023

Se caracteriza la hemerografía colombiana del siglo XX por su carácter bélico. Los periódicos fueron arma de combate en las campañas electorales dando continuidad a la guerra del siglo XIX a través de la política. Sin embargo, hubo una parte de la hemerografía nacional, la que corría por cuenta de la gráfica que se propuso una alternativa distinta: la de la paz. Se trata de El Gráfico, Cromos y la Revista Universidad. Revistas dispuestas para: dibujantes, pintores, caricaturistas, ilustradores, fotógrafos, etc. A través de ellas otro país se percibe, distinto al de la confrontación política, y al de las carencias sociales; más leve, vivible e interesante. Un arte divorciado del Estado, al cual no le interesa el uso del arte para el desarrollo de la cultura nacional. ¿Qué hubiera pasado con el arte colombiano de no haber existido los medios que hemos abordado, que los descubrió, acogió y reconoció? Es la pregunta que ronda en el espíritu de este artículo.
Screening H3 histone acetylation in a wild bird, the house sparrow (Passer domesticus)

Epigenetic mechanisms are increasingly understood to have major impacts
across ecology. However, one molecular epigenetic mechanism, DNA
methylation, currently dominates the literature. A second mechanism,
histone modification, is likely important to ecologically relevant
phenotypes and thus warrants investigation, especially because molecular
interplay between methylation and histone acetylation can strongly
affect gene expression. There are a limited number of histone
acetylation studies on non-model organisms, yet those that exist show
that it can impact gene expression and phenotypic plasticity. Wild birds
provide an excellent system to investigate histone acetylation, as
free-living individuals must rapidly adjust to environmental change.
Here, we screen histone acetylation in the house sparrow (Passer
domesticus); we studied this species because DNA methylation was
important in the spread of this bird globally. This species has one of
the broadest geographic distributions in the world, and part of this
success is related to the way that it uses methylation to regulate its
gene expression. Here, we verify that a commercially available assay
that was developed for mammals can be used in house sparrows. We
detected high variance in histone acetylation among individuals in both
liver and spleen tissue. Further, house sparrows with higher epigenetic
potential in the Toll Like Receptor-4 (TLR-4) promoter (i.e., CpG
content) had higher histone acetylation in liver. Also, there was a
negative correlation between histone acetylation in spleen and TLR-4
expression. In addition to validating a method for measuring histone
acetylation in wild songbirds, this study also shows that histone
acetylation varies in an ecologically relevant way, adding a new study
option for ecological epigenetics.
A mm-Wave Radio Frequency Power Amplifier based on Transformers Coupling and 2 nd Harmonic Termination Network using 130 nm CMOS Technology for 5G Applications

Published: July 2023

An efficient and linear power amplifier (PA) for millimeter wave
applications using a 130nm CMOS process is presented in this paper. The
proposed PA uses transformer coupling for output, inter-stage, and input
matching and also utilizes inter-stage inductors to boost RF
achievement. The Ansoft high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) is
used to analyze and design the coupling transformers and inter-stage
matching inductors to achieve a high coupling coefficient and quality
factor over the frequency range of 19 to 29 GHz. The 2
harmonic termination networks are connected at each
stage of the proposed power amplifier to enhance the gain and
efficiency. The suggested radio frequency power amplifier consists of
three stages, the input stage operates in class-B operation to increase
the efficiency without an influence on the DC power consumption, while
the driver and power stages work in class-AB to improve the RF output
power. Also, the power stage is a parallel combination of class-B and
class-AB to improve the one-dB compression point and enhance the
linearity. The proposed RF power amplifier operates in the frequency
range from 19 to 29 GHz. The suggested PA achieves a saturated output
power of 15.1 dBm, a maximum power added efficiency (PAE) of 19.35 %,
and a peak power gain of 22.72 dB. Moreover, the peak output 1-dB
compression point for the proposed power amplifier is 13.1 dBm and
consumes a DC power of 98.09 mW. Lastly, the die and overall areas of
the suggested power amplifier are 0.4 mm and 0.67 mm
, respectively.

Single phase cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) with nanoparticles of similar sizes (15.7-19 nm) was obtained by different synthesis methods: coprecipitation, ultrasonically assisted coprecipitation, coprecipitation followed by mechanochemical treatment, microemulsion and microwave assisted hydrothermal synthesis. The obtained CoFe2O4 samples have been studied using a variety of characterization techniques: X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, far infrared (FIR) reflectivity and attenuated total reflectance (ATR) in combination with Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in mid IR spectra. Different methods of synthesis produced nanoparticles with different lattice constants, internal stresses and different cation inversion values. This is confirmed in the subtle changes in the Raman and IR spectra of different CoFe2O4 nano-powders. The Raman spectra of CoFe2O4 were compared with the spectra of other ferrites and some cubic oxide spinels in an attempt to evaluate the contribution of tetrahedral and octahedral oscillations in certain Raman modes.
