Authors: Sentil Ahlam , Rosa Paolo , Tourbez Clément , Dorchin Achik , Bogusch Petr , Michez Denis
Published: June 2024

Morocco is considered to be one of the main diversity hotspots of bees in the Mediterranean basin. However, this fauna remains largely understudied in both urban and natural eco-systems. Bee monitoring primarily conducted during 2023 in an urban area (i.e. Safi) has unveiled three new bee species for Morocco: Lithurgus tibialis, Tetralonia aff. lanzarotensis and Coelioxys ruficauda as well as records of 28 new bee species for the region Marrakech Safi. This work provides descriptions of the spatial distribution, the diagnostic characters, and host plants of these three species. We also take the opportunity to highlight the quality of urban areas as habitats for bees and the importance of implementating bee-friendly management practices to preserve bee species.
A deep clustering framework integrating pairwise constraints and a VMF mixture model
Authors: Ma He , Wu Weipeng
Published: June 2024

We presented a novel deep generative clustering model called Variational Deep Embedding based on Pairwise constraints and the Von Mises-Fisher mixture model (VDEPV). VDEPV consists of fully connected neural networks capable of learning latent representations from raw data and accurately predicting cluster assignments. Under the assumption of a genuinely non-informative prior, VDEPV adopted a von Mises-Fisher mixture model to depict the hyperspherical interpretation of the data. We defined and established pairwise constraints by employing a random sample mining strategy and applying data augmentation techniques. These constraints enhanced the compactness of intra-cluster samples in the spherical embedding space while improving inter-cluster samples' separability. By minimizing Kullback-Leibler divergence, we formulated a clustering loss function based on pairwise constraints, which regularized the joint probability distribution of latent variables and cluster labels. Comparative experiments with other deep clustering methods demonstrated the excellent performance of VDEPV.

Authors: Ismail Firas Basim , Izzuan Muhammad Faizul , Abdulwahab Abdulkareem , Kazem Hussein A. , Rahmat Muhammad Aqil Afham
Published: June 2024

The advantages of natural light in construction include connecting to the outside world, giving rooms a bigger appearance, and allowing a sense of time and knowing the weather. Additionally, it reduces the energy consumption associated with artificial lighting. The sun, moon, stars, and thermal heat are all sources of natural light. Energy-saving measures and design elements are integrated into natural lighting in buildings. By developing systems, natural lighting has been improved in efficiency. Solar energy can be directly used, and artificial lighting can be reduced. Vision can be enhanced by creating an unobstructed environment but can also be impaired by it. This study aims to define visual comfort in built environments by using natural light and energy-saving methods. Higher latitudes experience warmer temperatures due to the spreading of solar radiation over a larger surface area, while lower latitudes experience cooler temperatures. Creating daylight requires four stages: a consideration of neighborhood conditions, a consideration of the depth and geometry of the space, a consideration of specific spaces, and a consideration of the middle layers without direct access to daylight. In Malaysia, one of the top countries for absorbing solar energy, architects should utilize cutting-edge science and technology to improve the quality of their projects.
A Review Study on Modifying Vortex Generators to Improve Thermal Performance in Single- and Two-Phase Flow in Circular Tubes
Authors: Alnasur Fawzi Sh. , AL-Turaihi Riyadh S.
Published: June 2024

The literature about various modifications to the vortex generators as passive techniques and some combined techniques was discussed numerically and experimentally. In general, all vortex generators have a good coefficient of thermal performance compared to a plain tube. Most vortex generators don’t consume any amount of energy to perform their function, so can be considered a good tool to enhance the thermal performance coefficient in industrial applications, but they have the disadvantage of high pressure drop. When using vortex generators in two phase flow accelerated the process of transition between phases pattern in addition to increasing heat transfer. The inserted twisted tapes have a low pressure drop and good heat transfer efficiency, resulting in a thermal performance factor of 1.6.In addition, the easier to manufacture where can be changed in size and shape in proportion to the place of use inside the tubes also having a low cost, and do not consume any amount of energy to perform its function, the hybrid methods can be used with it, such as a twisted tape with nonfluids, which had proven effective in thermal performance coefficients, but their disadvantages include the high cost and risk of dealing with these materials ,bubble injectors can also be used, despite the fact that they require energy to operate. So, the twisted tapes inserted can be considered a best tool to be used in enhancing the thermal performance coefficient in various Industrial fields.Based on the reviewed literature, it was determined that the following research is limited and could garner more attention in the future: multiple coaxial cross-twisted tapes with different perforations, and twisted tapes with variable cross-section, typical twisted tapes with regular wavy edge, hybrid methods such as nanofluids and twisted tape can be used in multiphase flow.

Authors: Abdulkarem Mais A. , Rasool Dalia Adil , Nabhan Baydaa Jabber
Published: June 2024

The utilization of waste materials in concrete production can provide potential technical and environmental benefits. In this study, the incorporation of recycled waste glass and olive stone aggregates as partial replacements for fine and coarse aggregates in concrete mixtures was evaluated. Coarse aggregate was replaced with crushed bottle glass, while fine aggregate was replaced with processed olive stones from agricultural waste. Five concrete mixtures were tested, with a control mixture containing 0% waste aggregates and others containing 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% replacements by weight of aggregates with waste glass and olive stones. The compressive strength, flexural strength, and thermal conductivity of standard concrete and specimens were evaluated. The results indicate that compressive strength was equal to or higher in the waste aggregate concretes compared to the control, with 20-30% of replacements showing the best performance. The olive stones increased flexural strength, while the glass reduced it compared to control samples. Thermal conductivity decreased linearly with increasing waste aggregate content due to the lower density and non-crystalline structures. These findings provide evidence that recycled glass and olive stone aggregates can be successfully used as sustainable substitutes for natural aggregates in concrete mixtures.
Performance of Beams Incorporating Geopolymer and FRP Bars: A Review
Authors: Kadhim Ahlam Jebur , Zinkaah Othman Hameed
Published: June 2024

Recently, civil engineering fields are seeking for the use of cost-effective, lightweight, durable, and environmentally friendly materials, giving less maintenance and providing long durability and resistance to hostile conditions. Therefore, there has been significant progress in the utilization of sophisticated composite materials as a reinforcement for various structural elements in the context of new construction buildings or rehabilitation.Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) are composite materials that have emerged as a potential method for enhancing the strength of concrete structures. FPR has been recommended for its many benefits, including thermal insulation properties, corrosion resistance ability, high tensile strength, fatigue resistance, and lightweight. Environmental deterioration increases the need for sustainable, durable, and mechanically sound reinforced concrete (RC) elements. Thus, geopolymer concrete (GPC) made from industrial byproducts like fly ash, slag, aluminum-rich materials, and the alkali activators (needed for alkaline solutions to activate the geopolymerization process) stands as a promising substitute for conventional Portland cement, owing to its engineering characteristics and sustainable nature (low CO2 emissions and industrial waste).In conclusion, Results discovred that the compressive strength of GPC can reach values of 70-100 MPa within 28 days. FRP-reinforced geopolymer concrete has a wide range of possible applications, however, there are still many barriers to commercializing FRP in the construction industry. Review indicated that the distinct properties of FRP bars embedded in GPC can provide a promising technology for the construction of new structures with high sustainability, sufficient strength, and structural integrity. Ductility ratios for GPC beams were 5% to 34% higher than those for reinforced OPC beams. Compared to steel-GPC beams, FRP-GPC beams deflect and fracture more due to their lower modulus of elasticity. Therefore, it is possible to use geopolymer concrete with a combination of steel bars and FRP in order to overcome the disadvantages of using only FRP or steel.

Published: June 2024

A four-pass cross-flow heat exchanger was developed and manufactured in this practical study for two types of tubes: smooth and triangular finned tubes. The length of the tube is 250 mm, for a smooth tube the inner and outer diameter (19, 21 mm), and (19, 21 and 24 mm) the inner, outer diameter and the fin root for the finned tube respectively. Water is used as a hot fluid inside the tubes and air is used as a cold fluid outside the tubes. Inlet hot fluid temperatures were 50, 60, 70, and 80 °C, with three air speeds (1, 2, and 3 m/s), and volumetric flow rate (2, 3, 4, and 5 l / min) held steady at 25 ° C. The finned tube outperformed the smooth tube in terms of heat transfer rate, heat transfer coefficient, total heat transfer coefficient, and effectiveness, according to the findings.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

RAS , BRAF , and mismatch repair (MMR)/microsatellite instability (MSI) are crucial biomarkers recommended by clinical practice guidelines for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, their characteristics and influencing factors in Chinese patients have not been thoroughly described.

AIM

To analyze the clinicopathological features of KRAS , NRAS , BRAF , and PIK3CA mutations and the DNA MMR status in CRC.

METHODS

We enrolled 2271 Chinese CRC patients at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital. MMR proteins were tested using immunohistochemical analysis, and the KRAS/NRAS/BRAF/PIK3CA mutations were determined using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Microsatellite status was determined using an MSI detection kit. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS software and logistic regression.

RESULTS

The KRAS , NRAS , BRAF , and PIK3CA mutations were detected in 44.6%, 3.4%, 3.7%, and 3.9% of CRC patients, respectively. KRAS mutations were more likely to occur in patients with moderate-to-high differentiation. BRAF mutations were more likely to occur in patients with right-sided CRC, poorly differentiated, or no perineural invasion. Deficient MMR (dMMR) was detected in 7.9% of all patients and 16.8% of those with mucinous adenocarcinomas. KRAS , NRAS , BRAF , and PIK3CA mutations were detected in 29.6%, 1.1%, 8.1%, and 22.3% of patients with dMMR, respectively. The dMMR was more likely to occur in patients with a family history of CRC, aged < 50 years, right-sided CRC, poorly differentiated histology, no perineural invasion, and with carcinoma in situ , stage I, or stage II tumors.

CONCLUSION

This study analyzed the molecular profiles of KRAS , NRAS , BRAF , PIK3CA , and MMR/MSI in CRC, identifying key influencing factors, with implications for clinical management of CRC.
Bidirectional effects of the tryptophan metabolite indole-3-acetaldehyde on colorectal cancer
Authors: Dai Ze , Deng Kai-Li , Wang Xiao-Mei , Yang Dong-Xue , Tang Chun-Lan , Zhou Yu-Ping
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

Colorectal cancer (CRC) has a high incidence and mortality. Recent studies have shown that indole derivatives involved in gut microbiota metabolism can impact the tumorigenesis, progression, and metastasis of CRC.

AIM

To investigate the effect of indole-3-acetaldehyde (IAAD) on CRC.

METHODS

The effect of IAAD was evaluated in a syngeneic mouse model of CRC and CRC cell lines (HCT116 and DLD-1). Cell proliferation was assessed by Ki-67 fluorescence staining and cytotoxicity tests. Cell apoptosis was analysed by flow cytometry after staining with Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate and propidium iodide. Invasiveness was investigated using the transwell assay. Western blotting and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction were performed to evaluate the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition related genes and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) downstream genes. The PharmMapper, SEA, and SWISS databases were used to screen for potential target proteins of IAAD, and the core proteins were identified through the String database.

RESULTS

IAAD reduced tumorigenesis in a syngeneic mouse model. In CRC cell lines HCT116 and DLD1, IAAD exhibited cytotoxicity starting at 24 h of treatment, while it reduced Ki67 expression in the nucleus. The results of flow cytometry showed that IAAD induced apoptosis in HCT116 cells but had no effect on DLD1 cells, which may be related to the activation of AhR. IAAD can also increase the invasiveness and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of HCT116 and DLD1 cells. At low concentrations (< 12.5 μmol/L), IAAD only exhibited cytotoxic effects without promoting cell invasion. In addition, predictions based on online databases, protein-protein interaction analysis, and molecular docking showed that IAAD can bind to matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9), angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2), and myeloperoxidase (MPO).

CONCLUSION

Indole-3-aldehyde can induce cell apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation to prevent the occurrence of CRC; however, at high concentrations (≥ 25 μmol/L), it can also promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition and invasion in CRC cells. IAAD activates AhR and directly binds MMP9, ACE, PARP1, MMP2, and MPO, which partly reveals why it has a bidirectional effect.

Authors: Bae Jun Yong , Ryu Chang Beom , Lee Moon Sung , Dua Kulwinder S
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for over 2 cm in size undifferentiated type (UD type) early gastric cancer (EGC) confined to the mucosa is not only challenging, but also long-term outcomes are not well known.

AIM

To evaluate the long-term outcomes of ESD done for UD type EGCs confined to the mucosa over 2 cm in size and compare the results with those where the lesions were less than 2 cm.

METHODS

143 patients with UD type EGC confirmed on histology after ESD at a tertiary hospital were reviewed. Cases with synchronous and metachronous lesions and a case with emergency surgery after ESD were excluded. A total of 137 cases were enrolled. 79 cases who underwent R0 resection were divided into 2 cm or less (group A) and over 2 cm (group B) in size.

RESULTS

Among 79 patients who underwent R0 resection, the number in group A and B were 51 and 28, respectively. The mean follow-up period (SD) was 79.71 ± 45.42 months. There was a local recurrence in group A (1/51, 2%) and group B (1/28, 3.6%) respectively. This patient in group A underwent surgery while the patient in group B underwent repeated ESD with no further recurrences in both patients. There was no regional lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, and deaths in both groups. With R0 resection strategy for ESD on lesions over 2 cm, 20.4% (28/137) of patients were able to avoid surgery compared with expanded indication.

CONCLUSION

If R0 resection is achieved by ESD, UD type EGCs over 2 cm also showed good and similar clinical outcomes as compared to lesions less than 2 cm when followed for over 5 years. With R0 resection strategy, several patients can avoid surgery.

OS DESAFIOS POR RECONHECIMENTO DE TERRITÓRIO DAS COMUNIDADES REMANESCENTES QUILOMBOLAS DO NORTE DE MINAS GERAIS
Authors: Damascena Barbosa Clarice , Santos Cardoso Zimar
Published: June 2024

O reconhecimento de Comunidades Quilombolas pelo Estado brasileiro demorou muito tempo porque sempre encontrou resistência por parte dos grandes proprietários de terra. Esse reconhecimento, à medida que significava admitir que famílias quilombolas tinham direito legítimo sobre as terras que habitavam, só foi consolidado a partir da Constituição Federal de 1988. O aparato legal para reivindicação de direitos, de reparação histórica e da recuperação das terras para os donos de direito das Comunidades Remanescentes Quilombolas –CRQs não atinge a dimensão do que hoje, representa um território quilombola. O Norte de Minas Gerais, de acordo os dados da Fundação Palmares (2022), conta com vários territórios quilombolas reconhecidos e certificados.  Entre as comunidades certificadas no Norte de Minas Gerais até janeiro de 2022, somente uma comunidade, de Brejo dos Crioulos teve seu território identificado, delimitado e decreto publicado do Diário Oficial da União.

The probe-forming system of a nuclear scanning microprobe based on a quadruplet of magnetic quadrupole lenses with three independent power supplies has been studied. In the stigmatic focusing mode, the third power supply is a free parameter affecting the ion-optical properties of the microprobe. The optimal system was selected as
a result of solving an optimization problem in which the figure of merit was the reduced collimated acceptance. The numerical simulation of the beam focusing process in that one-parametric system, taking into account the experimentally measured distribution of protons in the trajectory phase space, showed that the dimensions of the beam
spot on the target can be reduced several times compared to the working system. At the same time, the current density in the focused spot increases by about one order.

This research focuses on the impact of the Oyomi application on the comprehension of Japanese word classes (part of speech) and sentence structures. The primary issue addressed is the need for efficient and effective language learning tools. The objective is to explore the role of artificial intelligence (AI) within the application in enhancing Dokkai learning. The methodology encompasses a comprehensive analysis of the two principal features contributing to Dokkai learning, the utilization of AI technologies, and a comparison between traditional learning vs AI-powered mobile learning methods. Data collection involved simple linear regression statistical analysis using an F-test and correlation coefficient to gauge the relationship between the usage of the AI-powered Oyomi application and the comprehension of word classes in Dokkai learning. The F test results of 0.01 < 0.05 indicate a significant contribution and a correlation coefficient of 0.8 means the strength of the relationship is very strong. These findings show that AI, when integrated into language learning applications like Oyomi, can provide a more efficient and effective learning experience, especially in Japanese reading comprehension.

The solution to the issue of developing the physical qualities of young football players can be obtained through the introduction of general physical exercises during the preparatory period of training. The objective is to document the increase in the level of physical fitness of young football players due to specific training. T The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0 statistical software. The study was conducted for 11 weeks. The children from the CG were engaged in the usual 90-minute lesson program for football players of sports schools. The children in the EG performed various physical exercises to develop certain physical qualities. Results showed that regarding pre-to-post comparisons, for experimental and control groups, better results were recorded after compared with pre-training for running 30 m (p<0.001and p=0.017, respectively), shuttle running (both p<0.001), long jump (both p<0.001), pull-up (both p<0.001), 6min test (both p<0.001) and leaning forward (both p<0.001). Concerning comparisons at post-training between the two groups, the experimental group resulted in better performances than the control in shuttle running (p<0.001), long jump (p<0.001) and leaning forward (p=0.018) as well as for delta change (i.e., the difference between pre and post for each group) in the running 30 m (p<0.001) and 6min test (p<0.001). After athletes from the experimental group performed a special set of physical exercises to develop physical qualities, their performance improved significantly. This indicates the effectiveness of the tools and methods used to develop physical qualities.

Authors: Suryanti Neni , Rauf Muhammad A
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Kerosene to Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) conversion program as part of the Indonesian government's strategy to reduce kerosene subsidies and improve budget efficiency. 
Purposes of the Research: Analyze the imperfection of the implementation of the supply, distribution and pricing of liquified petroleum gas cylinders of 3 kilograms, especially related to price abuse by some business actors.  
Methods of the Research: The type of research in this paper is sociological legal research, which observes the characteristics of community behavior in a region in a certain aspect of social life.
Results Originality of the Research: From the research results, three main points can be concluded. First, data analysis shows that there are still differences in the retail prices of 3 Kg LPG Gas, which exceed the Highest Retail Price (HET) set by the government. Furthermore, there are discrepancies in the distribution of 3 Kg LPG Gas to the poor, and sales to those who should not qualify. Despite regulations and sanctions, not all distributors comply with the rules. Second, inhibiting factors in the implementation of 3 Kg LPG Gas sales in Hutaraja Tinggi District, Padang Lawas Regency, involve limitations in human resources, lack of participation from the surrounding community, weak sanctions from the Department of Cooperatives, SMEs, Industry, and Trade of Padang Lawas Regency, lack of awareness from agents and officers, as well as infrastructure problems. Third, efforts that can be made by the Department of Cooperatives, SMEs, Industry, and Trade include coordination with relevant parties, such as distributors, retailers, and LPG gas agents, to ensure smooth distribution. Efforts to collaborate with relevant parties are expected to accelerate the distribution process and address potential obstacles in the field. Additionally, the department can monitor the stock of 3 kg LPG gas in the Hutaraja Tinggi District and monitor the distribution route to ensure the availability of gas evenly. Outreach and education programs for the community are also proposed to ensure the safe and efficient use of LPG gas. Supervision of prices and availability of LPG gas, opening of complaint channels for the public, and the use of information technology are also included in the proposed efforts. Furthermore, the department is expected to collaborate with private parties, including local traders or entrepreneurs, to support the distribution of LPG gas in the area.

В статье рассматриваются особенности подготовки пожарных и спасателей с применением технологий виртуальной реальности. Отмечается, что в деятельности по тушению пожаров и проведению аварийно-спасательных работ практическая подготовка играет первостепенную роль, позволяя спасателям быть постоянно готовыми к действиям в случае крупных инцидентов, аварий или чрезвычайных ситуаций. Помимо классических методов обучения, а именно тренировок в непригодной для дыхания среде, виртуальная реальность все чаще используется в обучении во многих сферах деятельности, помогает смоделировать опасности, которые невозможно создать в реальности (взрывы, пожары, падения с большой высоты), и, таким образом, перебороть страх перед такими опасностями. Возможности тренажеров виртуальной реальности позволяют создавать сценарии тренировок, подчеркивающие степень физической подготовки спасателей, с учетом их физиологических параметров, которые отслеживаются на протяжении всей тренировки.

The article discusses the features of training firefighters and rescuers using virtual reality technologies. It is noted that in firefighting and rescue operations, practical training plays a primary role, allowing rescuers to be constantly ready to act in the event of major incidents, accidents or emergencies. In addition to classical teaching methods, namely training in an inhospitable environment, virtual reality is increasingly used in training in many fields of activity, helps to simulate dangers that cannot be created in reality (explosions, fires, falls from a great height), and thus overcome the fear of such dangers. The capabilities of virtual reality simulators allow you to create training scenarios that emphasize the degree of physical fitness of rescuers, taking into account their physiological parameters, which are monitored throughout the training.

Authors: Лунева Е.А.
Published: June 2024

В статье представлена авторская интерпретация сущностной стороны потребностей как ключевой экономической категории. Останавливаясь на содержательной теории А. Маслоу, автор делает попытку разрешить некоторые противоречия, высказываемые критиками пирамиды в связи с её иерархическим характером. Предложено в рамках каждой категории различать степень удовлетворения. Оценивать такую степень предлагается через угол наклона кривой «Возможности-Удовлетворение потребностей».

Maslow, the author makes an attempt to resolve some contradictions expressed by critics of the pyramid in connection with its hierarchical nature. It is proposed to distinguish the degree of satisfaction within each category. It is proposed to evaluate this degree through the angle of inclination of the “Opportunities-Satisfaction of needs” curve.
