Authors: Yuan ChunHong , Wang Xue , Yan Zhimin , Tang Jingyi
Published: November 2024

This study explores the impact of AIGC-generated sports content on user sentiment and engagement on Xiaohongshu, a Chinese social media platform.Using MediaCrawler, we collected posts and comments related to sports topics generated by AI. Sentiment analysis was performed using SnowNLP to classify comments as positive or negative, with 57.1% showing positive sentiment and 42.9% negative. Despite the prevalence of positive sentiment, no significant difference in engagement (measured by likes) was observed between positive and negative comments.Temporal analysis revealed that user engagement is event-driven, with spikes in positive sentiment during major sports events. Additionally, word cloud analysis highlighted promotional and spam-like themes, suggesting challenges in content moderation. The interaction patterns showed a skewed distribution, with a small number of highly active users dominating discussions.The findings suggest that timing, relevance, and event alignment are more critical than sentiment polarity in driving engagement.The study provides insights for content creators and platforms on optimizing AIGC strategies through trend alignment and effective user collaboration.

ULOGA ORGANIZACIJSKE KLIME U RADU ODGAJATELJA
Authors: Odobašić Amina , Leto Aldina
Published: November 2024

Organizacijska klima definira se kao skup psihološki smislenih događaja, postupaka, odnosa ili pravila unutar neke organizacije. Ona predstavlja autohtoni psihologijski konstrukt koji podrazumijeva uticaj okolnih faktora na ponašanje zaposlenih. Svaka organizacija uvjetovana je organizacijskom klimom. Budući da su ljudi ključni element svake organizacijske klime, oni svojom interakcijom i suodnosima kreiraju prijatnu ili neprijatnu klimu. Kroz rad se ističe činjenica da je i predškolska ustanova podložna promjenama i da određeni segmenti, poput porodice, mogu da utiču na organizacijsku klimu u vrtiću ali i da organizacijska klima, s druge strane, može da utiče na porodične odnose. Posao odgajatelja podrazumijeva niz kompetencija, a odgajatelji se naročito nalaze pred izazovom kada moraju uskladiti profesionalizam sa situacijskim aspektima unutar poslovne zone. Budući da je cilj odgojno-obrazovnog rada u dječijem vrtiću skrbljenje o ukupnoj kvaliteti svakodnevnog življenja te stvaranje optimalnih uvjeta za samoaktualizaciju djeteta i afirmaciju njegovih individualnih potencijala, to ujedno pred odgajatelja postavlja dodatni izazov kreiranja takve organizacijske klime s primarnim ciljem povoljnog uticaja na dijete. Na tom putu potrebno je uskladiti vlastita očekivanja i napraviti distinkciju između poslovnog i privatnog života, te uskladiti način funkcioniranja u kolektivu. Kroz rad je prikazan konstrukt organizacijske klime u predškolskim ustanovama, implikacije nepovoljne organizacijske klime i međuodnos organizacijske klime i odgajatelja. Istraživanja prikazana kroz ovaj rad u nekoliko zemalja ukazuju na činjenicu da organizacijska podrška doprinosi boljoj fleksibilnosti granica rada, dok instrumentalni resursi podrške od strane menadžera mogu uposlenima omogućiti da se uključe u fleksibilne granice rada. Koncem toga, kreirani su i stilovi rukovođenja koji predstavljaju prediktor kvalitete organizacijske klime u ustanovama.

A magnetic flux threading through magnetic atomic rings can induce topological superconductivity. It provides a novel approach to achieving low-dimensional (2D) topological superconductivity, which requires neither spin-orbit coupling nor helical magnetic order. In this paper, we introduce a topological superconductor model by depositing a ferromagnetic atomic ring on the surface of a 2D s-wave superconductor. When the moments of the magnetic atoms are perpendicular to the external magnetic field, a magnetic flux can induce topological superconductivity. Considering practical experiments, because the magnetic atomic chain breaks the inversion symmetry of the surface of the 2D substrate, the Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is introduced, leading to the appearance of helical magnetic order in the atomic chain. According to previous researches, this helical magnetic order ensures that the magnetic moments of the ring are perpendicular to the external magnetic field, and the patch angle of neighbor moment of the helical order is proportional to the strength of the SOC. However, the helical order or Rashba SOC may introduce topological superconductivity on their own. It is meaningful to investigate the influence of the effects of the Rashba SOC and helical magnetic order on the flux induced topological superconducting states. We find that the Rashba SOC has a disruptive effect on the existing topological state, while helical magnetic order merely shifts its transition position in the parameter space. Therefore, when selecting materials for experiment, it is recommended to choose materials with lower Rashba SOC strength.

With the rapid development of quantum information technology, fully connected multi-user quantum entanglement distribution networks have received increasing attention. Among these, multi-wavelength quantum light sources are key devices for establishing connections between multiple users. Despite recent impressive advances, there are still challenges in increasing the wavelength number of photon pairs due to limitations in the design and fabrication of nonlinear optical devices. The potentials of silicon nitride (Si3N4) microring resonators (MRRs), as scalable platforms for multi-wavelength quantum light sources, are explored in this work.

The key design parameters of the Si3N4 MRRs, including waveguide dimension, resonator dispersion, and coupling condition, are comprehensively analyzed to optimize photon-pair generation. Based on these parameters, a Si3N4 MRR with a free spectral range of 20 GHz and an average quality factor of 1.6 million is designed and fabricated. This small free spectral range can generate more channels of correlated photon pairs by using the same wavelength resources. The high-quality resonator contributes to the enhancement of the rate of generating high photon pairs , which are critical for quantum entanglement distribution. With a continuous-wave pump laser, correlated photon pairs across a wide spectral range are generated through the spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM). The coincidence-to-accidental ratio (CAR) measurements verify the strong quantum correlation between photon pairs, highlighting the reliability of the system for entanglement distribution. Furthermore, the generation and output characteristics of quantum-correlated photon pairs are experimentally investigated with a tunable bandpass filter. The results demonstrate that 71 wavelength-correlated photon pairs within a 25.6 nm spectral range are successively generated as shown in the Fig. A. Our results pave the way for developing the multi-wavelength quantum light sources with Si3N4 platform, thereby advancing the multi-user quantum networks.

The advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) as treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a paradigm in molecularly targeted cancer therapy. Nonetheless, TKI-insensitive leukemia stem cells (LSCs) persist in most patients even after years of treatment and are imperative for disease progression as well as recurrence during treatment-free remission (TFR). Here, we have generated high-resolution single-cell multiomics maps from CML patients at diagnosis, retrospectively stratified by BCR::ABL1IS (%) following 12 months of TKI therapy. Simultaneous measurement of global gene expression profiles together with >40 surface markers from the same cells revealed that each patient harbored a unique composition of stem and progenitor cells at diagnosis. The patients with treatment failure after 12 months of therapy had a markedly higher abundance of molecularly defined primitive cells at diagnosis compared to the optimal responders. The multiomic feature landscape enabled visualization of the primitive fraction as a mixture of molecularly distinct BCR::ABL1+ LSCs and BCR::ABL1-hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in variable ratio across patients, and guided their prospective isolation by a combination of CD26 and CD35 cell surface markers. We for the first time show that BCR::ABL1+ LSCs and BCR::ABL1- HSCs can be distinctly separated as CD26+CD35- and CD26-CD35+, respectively. In addition, we found the ratio of LSC/HSC to be higher in patients with prospective treatment failure compared to optimal responders, at diagnosis as well as following 3 months of TKI therapy. Collectively, this data builds a framework for understanding therapy response and adapting treatment by devising strategies to extinguish or suppress TKI-insensitive LSCs.
Distinct catecholaminergic pathways projecting to hippocampal CA1 transmit contrasting signals during navigation in familiar and novel environments
Authors: Heer Chad , Sheffield Mark
Published: November 2024

Neuromodulatory inputs to the hippocampus play pivotal roles in modulating synaptic plasticity, shaping neuronal activity, and influencing learning and memory. Recently, it has been shown that the main sources of catecholamines to the hippocampus, ventral tegmental area (VTA) and locus coeruleus (LC), may have overlapping release of neurotransmitters and effects on the hippocampus. Therefore, to dissect the impacts of both VTA and LC circuits on hippocampal function, a thorough examination of how these pathways might differentially operate during behavior and learning is necessary. We therefore utilized two-photon microscopy to functionally image the activity of VTA and LC axons within the CA1 region of the dorsal hippocampus in head-fixed male mice navigating linear paths within virtual reality (VR) environments. We found that within familiar environments some VTA axons and the vast majority of LC axons showed a correlation with the animals’ running speed. However, as mice approached previously learned rewarded locations, a large majority of VTA axons exhibited a gradual ramping-up of activity, peaking at the reward location. In contrast, LC axons displayed a pre-movement signal predictive of the animal’s transition from immobility to movement. Interestingly, a marked divergence emerged following a switch from the familiar to novel VR environments. Many LC axons showed large increases in activity that remained elevated for over a minute, while the previously observed VTA axon ramping-to-reward dynamics disappeared during the same period. In conclusion, these findings highlight distinct roles of VTA and LC catecholaminergic inputs in the dorsal CA1 hippocampal region. These inputs encode unique information, with reward information in VTA inputs and novelty and kinematic information in LC inputs, likely contributing to differential modulation of hippocampal activity during behavior and learning.

Published: November 2024

Weed infestation is a major problem in upland rice of Kerala. Pendimethalin is a selective pre-emergent herbicide used to control broad-leaved and grassy weeds in rice fields. However, herbicides like pendimethalin often face losses in the agroecosystem through various pathways, reducing their effectiveness and potentially contaminating the environment, including groundwater. Encapsulation of herbicides is an innovative method designed to enhance their efficacy while minimizing environmental contamination, making herbicide application more efficient for weed control. A field experiment was carried out at the Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Vellayani, Kerala, India to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of Nano Encapsulated Pendimethalin (NEP) for weed management in upland rice. Synthesis of nano encapsulated pendimethalin was done at Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Vellayani. The study revealed that nano encapsulated pendimethalin had significant influence on growth attributes over normal commercial formulations. Among all the growth parameters Nano Encapsulated Pendimethalin (NEP) with 4% starch aqueous phase at 1.0 kg ha-1 showed comparable result with hand weeding at 15 and 30 Days After Sowing (DAS). The nano encapsulated formulation had a particle size of 486.6 nm and zeta potential of -18 mV.

Published: November 2024

In the arid regions of Rajasthan, water scarcity poses a significant challenge to both agriculture and livestock productivity. Sustainable practices in such climates require effective management of limited water resources. This study focuses on optimizing water productivity through the conjunctive use of canal water and borewell water to address the problem of water scarcity while maximizing output per unit of water. The experiment involved eighteen healthy lambs of aged 2-3 months which were managed intensively and divided into three groups of six lambs each based on a randomized block design. All groups were fed Pennisetum glaucum (pearl millet) and Medicago sativa (lucerne) ad-libitum along with concentrates adjusted according to their body weights. The groups were offered three types of drinking water: canal water (G1), a combination of canal and borewell water (G2) and borewell water (G3) in a clean bucket twice a day. No significant effect on total feed intake and body weight of the lambs was found based on the drinking water source. However, G1 and G2 lambs, which were offered canal water, consumed significantly (p<0.05) less water (74.4 ± 1.84 liters) compared to the lambs in G3 (81.6 ± 1.91 liters). The virtual water requirement per kilogram of weight gain, calculated from both direct water intake and indirect intake through feed was lowest in G1 lambs (5771.34 liters) followed by G2 lambs (6129.00 liters) and G3 lambs (6312.00 liters) per kilogram of weight gain, respectively. These results indicate that water productivity was highest with canal water (G1) and lowest with borewell water (G3) per kilogram of weight gain. This study underscores the importance of efficient water management in maximizing productivity and resource use efficiency in water-limited arid regions.

Ortaçağ’dan günümüze az sayıda resmî belge ulaşmıştır. Bu belgeleri daha ziyade muafiyet vesikaları oluşturmaktadır. Atanma fermanları ile görevden azil belgeleri ise yok denecek kadar azdır. Bu açıdan günümüze ulaşan tüm atanma yarlıkları kıymete değerdir. Söz konusu ferman vezirlik gibi devlet bürokrasisinin tepesindeki görev ile ilgili olunca daha da önem arz etmektedir. Celayırlı zamanı (1340-1431) müelliflerinden Muhammed b. Hindûşâh Nahcevânî 1366 yılında yazımını tamamladığı Düstûru’l-Kâtib fî T’ayîni’l-Merâtib (Rütbelerin Tayininde Kâtibin Kullanacağı Kılavuz) adlı eserde, İlhanlı ve Celayırlı dönemlerine ait bir takım idarî ve askerî görevlere atanma yarlıkları kaydedilmiştir. Bu fermanlardan biri de Şemseddin Zekeriya’nın Şeyh Üveys (h. 1356-1374) zamanında vezirliği atanma yarlığıdır. Bu atanma fermanı dışında, adı geçen vezir hakkında bildiklerimiz, bazı Timurlu dönemi (1370-1506) müelliflerinin kayıtlarından oluşmaktadır. Bu açıdan çalışmanın odak noktası Timurlu tarihçilerinin Şemseddin Zekeriya’nın hayatı hakkında aktardıkları ile Hindûşâh Nahcevânî’nin kaydettiği vezarete atanma yarlığıdır.

Published: November 2024

Bazı terimlerin insanlığın gözünde zamanı aşan bir gücü vardır. Geçen yıllar bu terimlerin anlam gücünü eksiltmez. Aksine bu terimlerin anlam gücü o kadar keskinleşir ve derinleşir ki, günümüz insanlarını geçmişte yaşamış olan insanlarla aynı duyguda birleştirmeyi başarır. Düşman sözcüğü de hiç şüphesiz böyle bir güce sahiptir. Bu çalışmada Eski Mezopotamya uygarlıklarının düşman kavramına yaklaşımları, düşmanı tanımlamak için kullandıkları Sumerce ve Akadca kelimeler yoluyla incelenmiştir. Orijinal metinlere dayanarak hazırlanmış sözlük ve dilbilgisi eserleri ile dijital kaynakların taranmasıyla ulaşılan terimler, uzmanlar tarafından hazırlanmış ikincil çalışmalarla birlikte değerlendirilmiştir. Böylece terimlerin sahip oldukları anlamlar üzerinden çıkarımlar yapılarak düşman ve düşmanlığın Eski Mezopotamya’daki kökeni ve doğası üzerine yorumlar yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak gücü elinde bulunduranlar tarafından oluşturulan düşman anlatımlarının insanların bilinçaltını gösteren kutuplaştırıcı ve karşılaştırmalı bir dile hizmet ettiği; kullanılan düşman terimlerinin ise iki taraf arasında negatif bir ilişki kurulmasını sağladığı anlaşılmıştır.

Background In joints, structure dictates function and consequently pathology. Interpreting wrist structure is complicated by the existence of multiple joints and variability in bone shapes and anatomical patterns in the wrist. Previous studies evaluated lunate and capitate shape in the midcarpal joint, and two distinct patterns have been identified.

Purpose Our purpose was to further characterize the two wrist patterns in normal wrist radiographs using measurements of joint contact and position. Our hypothesis was that we will find significant differences between the two distinct anatomical patterns.

Patients and Methods A database of 172 normal adult wrist posteroanterior (PA) radiographs was evaluated for radial inclination, height, length, ulnar variance, volar tilt, radial-styloid-scaphoid distance, and lunate and capitate types. We measured and calculated percent of capitate facet that articulates with the lunate, scapholunate ligament, scaphoid, and trapezoid. These values were compared between the wrist types and whole population.

Results Type-1 wrists (lunate type-1 and spherical proximal capitate) were positively associated with a longer facet between capitate and distal lunate (p = 0.01), capitate and base of middle metacarpal (p = 0.004), and shorter facet between the capitate and hamate (p = 0.004). The odds ratio of having a type-1 wrist when the interface between the capitate and lunate measures >8.5 mm is 2.71 (confidence interval [CI] 1.07, 6.87) and when the line between the capitate and the base of middle metacarpal >9.5 mm is 3.5 (CI 1.38, 9.03).

Conclusion We characterized the two-wrist patterns using intracarpal measurements. Translating these differences into three-dimensional contact areas may help in the understanding of biomechanical transfer of forces through the wrist.

Level of Evidence This is a Level II, diagnostic study.

Published: June 2018

We investigated the effect of six ionic liquids (ILs), and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) as a typical molecular liquid (organic solvent), on the hatching of Artemia salina cysts. The effect of an IL on the hatching of Artemia salina strongly depends on the specific combination of cation and anion. Of the ILs tested, choline acetate and choline chloride had a significantly lower toxicity. The level of inhabitation followed the order [chl][dhp] > [bmim][NO3] > [MAN][NO3] > [bmim][Ac] > DMSO > [chl][Ac] ≥ [chl][Cl].

Goals:

To evaluate agreement of MCM6-13910 with self-report of dairy sensitivity (DS) and lactose hydrogen methane breath test (LHMBT) results in subjects with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Background:

IBS is a functional gastrointestinal disorder with symptoms including abdominal pain, variable bowel habits, and bloating. Adult patients with lactose malabsorption may present with similar symptoms. Patients with lactose malabsorption have a lactase nonpersistent (LNP) phenotype. Recent studies found 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with LNP: G/A-22018 and C/T-13910.

Study:

Genotyping the MCM6-13910 variant of LNP in 538 IBS patients and 317 controls (without IBS). Subjects completed questionnaires pertaining to gastrointestinal problems and dietary consumption, with charts abstracted.

Results:

Self-reported DS was higher in IBS (45%) than controls (9.8%, odds ratio=6.46, P<0.001). The C/C-13910 genotype was similar in IBS cases and controls, 81 (15.1%) and 47 (14.8%). Among subjects reporting DS, 49 (18.0%) had the C/C genotype. Overall agreement between genotype and self-reported DS was 0.06 in IBS and 0.07 in controls. There were 20 subjects with LHMBT results; 3 had positive results, 17 were negative. LNP genotypes were found in all 3 of positive LHMBT results; 16 had negative LHMBT among the 17 who were lactase persistent. Agreement between C/C-13910 genotype and LHMBT was excellent with κ-statistic of 0.83 (0.50-1.00).

Conclusions:

In IBS patients, self-report of lactose intolerance are highly prevalent but are a poor indicator of underlying C/C-13910 genotype. LHMBT had excellent agreement with C/C-13910 genotype.
Probability Distributions of Means of IA and IF for Gaussian Noise and Its Application to an Anomaly Detection
Authors: Sakai Kazuki , Kaneyama Masato , Oohara Ken-ichi , Takahashi Hirotaka
Published: June 2018

The Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) extracts the intrinsic oscillation modes of input data, and estimates instantaneous amplitude (IA) and frequency (IF) for each mode. The HHT is applied to detection of some anomaly structures of signals as well as to analysis of signals. However, only qualitative discussions have been conducted on the applications to the detections. To make more statistically-based arguments on the application of the HHT, we investigated the probability distribution of the means of IA and IF for white Gaussian noise and found that it fits the Pearson distribution rather than the normal distribution. We defined a feature value for an anomaly detection by using the probability density function estimated on the basis of the Pearson distribution. Our method does not require different models for different lengths of the segment over which the mean is calculated, and therefore it is useful especially for the case that the length cannot be fixed.
Controversy in Deprivation of Citizenship on Charges of Terrorism and Separatism
Authors: DEREVYANKO Bogdan , ZOZULYA Evgeniy
Published: June 2018

The manuscript deals with the issues of reasonability of involuntary loss of citizenship of Ukraine and presentation of conclusions to the public, including politicians and legislators. Research was conducted using normative, sociological approaches, methods of induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, comparison and contrast to compare the penalty of deprivation of citizenship (allegiance) in modern world with the exile from tribe at the time of primitive society and from the state in ancient times; the manuscript provides a list of benefits and privileges (with focus on civil, political, social, economic, humanitarian rights and freedoms) of the citizens of Ukraine, which, accordingly, may be lost in the event of involuntary loss of citizenship of terrorism and separatism suspects. Such measure would have a serious effect of punishment if the state guaranteed fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens of Ukraine to the extent defined by internationally recognized standards, significant economic benefits for the citizens of Ukraine, or inability to obtain citizenship of another state. Conclusion was made about the inexpediency of introduction of such penalties at the current stage of development of the economy and civil society in Ukraine.

This paper presents a study of pomochi as an example of the practices of mutual assistance among Russian peasants, and of the transformation of these practices in the course of modernisation. The study relies on various sources, including materials from ethnographic surveys conducted in the nineteenth century, and the archive of life-histories of villagers, recorded in 1991–2 in the Saratov region. The practices of mutual assistance are considered from the methodological position, which derives from works of Winch and Schutz, who emphasised the fundamental distinction between social conceptions, which are constitutive of social life, and sociological concepts, which are tools of sociologists and are constructed according to the rules of their academic discipline. This position assigns a subsidiary role to sociological concepts and theories, suggesting a pragmatic choice of those, and requires heightened sensitivity in the interpretation of data. Accordingly, the practices of mutual assistance have been considered in terms of Sahlins’ typology of reciprocities, as a relic of the ancient communal farming system, in terms of a broadly Marxist approach as a form of production cooperative, and in terms of Chayanov’s theory of peasant economy – each illuminating particular features of mutual assistance among peasants or certain aspects of peasant life in general. The study has shown how the practices of mutual assistance were an essential feature of the peasant way of life, and traced their gradual disintegration as that way of life was itself falling apart.

Ânimo persecutório do magistrado: a quebra do dever de imparcialidade e sucessivas decisões contrárias ao direito à prova defensiva
Authors: Fayet Fábio Agne , Poll Roberta Eggert
Published: June 2018

O tema do presente artigo é o ânimo persecutório do magistrado em desfavor do acusado. O objeto de análise do trabalho é a verificação da quebra do dever de imparcialidade do magistrado quando da análise dos autos, mediante a aplicação de sucessivos entendimentos contrários aos interesses do acusado. O objetivo de pesquisa é a verificação da existência ou não de um dever de imparcialidade do magistrado diante de decisões motivadas, proferidas no exercício independente da atividade jurisdicional e impugnáveis por recurso ou ação autônoma, com nítido caráter persecutório. O método de abordagem será o dedutivo, adotando-se como procedimento o bibliográfico. Destarte, em primeiro, propõe, o presente artigo, uma leitura sobre a imparcialidade e o protagonismo do magistrado de modo a indicar como a literatura contemporânea vem enxergando a postura do juiz frente ao acusado, para, depois, analisar-se a questão da quebra do dever de imparcialidade diante de sucessivas decisões que se traduzem em uma atuação persecutória do juiz.
