Authors: Tsvietinskyi Yakiv
Published: March 2024

Мета статті полягає у висвітленні певних принципів спектрального аналізу тембрів джазових інструментів та їх поєднання у джазовому ансамблі. Методологія розробки означеної теми містить взаємодію наступних науково-дослідницьких методів, а саме – опис та узагальнення, порівняльний аналіз, елементи методу спектрального аналізу. Новизна пропонованої наукової статті зумовлюється здійсненням спектрального аналізу звучання інструментів джазового ансамблю та актуалізацією принципу тембрової компенсації. Висновки. Аналіз фізичних властивостей звуку інструментів дає суттєвий об’єм інформації не тільки з точки зору акустики, а й інструментування. Зрозумівши причини існування сталих комбінацій інструментів, принципи їх побудови можливо сформулювати в універсальні правила поєднання тембрів. Подібні норми не тільки можуть призвести до появи нових форматів ансамблю, але і стати відправною точкою до більш глибокого розуміння законів музики в цілому. Використовуючи лише дві базові характеристики тембру, як спектр та ADSR, з’являються безмежні перспективи для дослідження звуку та практичних принципів роботи з ним. Принцип тембрової компенсації вимагає подальшого дослідження з іншими комбінаціями інструментів. Відкритим залишається питання невдалих комбінацій, та обґрунтування фізичних причин тембрової несумісності, або визначення інших способів художнього поєднання звуків, що не відповідають вищезгаданому принципу.

people’s COVID-19 knowledge and HL levels are thought to be effective in managing the pandemic. This study aimed to evaluate candidate soldiers’ HL and COVID-19 knowledge levels in the Altındağ district of Ankara, Turkey.

Material and Methods  A questionnaire form containing socio-demographic characteristics, 16-item European HL Survey Questionnaire, and propositions about COVID-19 was applied to candidate soldiers Who were referred for COVID-19 PCR sampling to the Altindg District Health Directorate before enlistment between December 2021_April 2022.

Results and Discussion  The study was completed with 668 candidate soldiers, most of whom were young adults. HL level of 20.5% was inadequate. The frequency of those who had not been vaccinated against COVID-19 was 16.8%. The COVID-19 knowledge level of those vaccinated was higher (p=0.002). The propositions about COVID-19 symptoms and correct mask use were answered correctly at the highest rate in COVID-19 knowledge level questions. The COVID-19 knowledge level score was significantly higher in those with adequate HL levels, aged 25 and over, non-smokers, and who had university or higher education levels. There was a positive correlation between the COVID-19 knowledge level and HL levels (r=0.108; p<0.001).

Conclusion  This study reveals the determination of HL and COVID-19 knowledge levels of candidate soldiers and related factors and supports the necessity of proactive participation of individuals with immediate action plans to increase HL and COVID-19 knowledge levels in young adults.

Authors: Polevoy Georgiy Georgievich
Published: March 2024

Objective The objective is to increase the level of coordination abilities of schoolchildren diagnosed with myopia.

Methods The study was conducted in the period from September 2022 to June 2023 at secondary school number 13 in the Kirov region. A group (n=21) of 4th grade students was formed to conduct a pedagogical experiment. These are boys and girls aged 10-11 years with a mild degree of myopia (up to 3 diopters) – myopia of the first degree. The level of development of coordination abilities was determined by a 3x10 meter Shuttle run, a long jump from a place with the right and left sides, Balance on 1 leg and Dynamic coordination of movements. The Student’s T-Test was the main method of mathematical statistics.

Results After the end of the pedagogical experiment, the performance of children from the experimental group improved in all indicators. In the shuttle run test, the indicators became higher from 9.36±0.16 to 8.72±0.09 (p<0.05), an increase of 6.8%. The long jump with the right side increased by 10.4% (p<0.05), and with the left side by 7.3% (p<0.05). In the balance on one leg test, the indicators became 13.3% higher (p<0.05), and in the dynamic coordination test, the indicators improved from 8.83±0.89 to 10.05±0.16 (p<0.05), the increase in indicators was 13.8%.

Conclusion The results obtained allow us to conclude that our proposed method of using general developmental exercises with objects as a means of developing coordination abilities in children 9-10 years old diagnosed with myopia is effective, which is achieved through regular use of exercises in physical education lessons, as well as by stabilizing the course of myopia during the school day.

Authors: Sultana Rehana , Akhter Hosneara , Salim Airin , Hoshen Md Minudddin , Bristi Priyanka Das , Sultana Taslima , Khandaker Mahmuda
Published: March 2024

Background: Human hands play a significant role in the spread of diseases, especially respiratory and diarrheal diseases, which continue to be the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children worldwide. Hand washing is the most widely used preventive measure to lessen the spread of infectious diseases. It involves washing hands with ordinary or antimicrobial soap and water.  This is especially important for school-age children, since they may be more susceptible to diseases associated with poor hygiene than adults’ age. There is evidence linking the promotion of hand washing habits through health education to a lower incidence of communicable diseases in school-age children. Objectives: To determine the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents and to find out the practice of hand washing among the secondary school children. Materials & Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on 340 school students from 1st June 2022 to 30th November 2022 in Alekjan Memorial High School and College, Durgapur, Adarsha Sadar, Cumilla. Purposive sampling was used to gather all pertinent data using a structured questionnaire. Results: In schools, 69.7% of the respondents washed their hands properly. 96.7% of them used soap to wash their hands. About 98.2%, 95%, 86.8%, 82.9% and 80.3% of school children reported that they wash their hands before eating, after using the restroom, after eating, after playing and after working. Conclusion: According to the study, having access to soap and water is necessary for good hand washing technique as the majority of the students used   soap during hand washing.  By installing hand washing stations in schools, the regional government, that is, the education and health bureaus-should enhance the hand washing practices in schools. It is important for parents and other family members to focus more on behavior guidance related to hand washing.

This study aims first to examine whether there is the influence of perceived tax fairness on

individual taxpayers compliance behaviour. The second bjective is to examine whether there is a

moderating role of financial condition in the relation of perceived tax fairness on individual

taxpayers compliance behaviour. The study was conducted in KPP Pratama Sidoarjo Utara by

questionnaire survey method to 100 individual taxpayers. Moderated Regression Analysis was

used to identify the study variables (perceived tax fairness, financial condition, and tax

compliance). The results of this study indicate that there is a statistically ignificant influence of

perceived tax fairness to the level of tax compliance behavior. The subvariabels of tax fairness

identified are general tax fairness, tax rate structure, self interest, and special provisions, but the

taxpayers consider the exchange with government is not fair enough. The financial condition also

has a significant moderating influence of perceived tax fairness to the level of tax compliance

behaviour.

Photothermal hydrogels for infection control and tissue regeneration
Authors: Sun Siyu , Jiang Guangyang , Dong Jianru , Xie Xi , Liao Jinfeng , Tian Yongqiang
Published: March 2024

In this review, we report investigating photothermal hydrogels, innovative biomedical materials designed for infection control and tissue regeneration. These hydrogels exhibit responsiveness to near-infrared (NIR) stimulation, altering their structure and properties, which is pivotal for medical applications. Photothermal hydrogels have emerged as a significant advancement in medical materials, harnessing photothermal agents (PTAs) to respond to NIR light. This responsiveness is crucial for controlling infections and promoting tissue healing. We discuss three construction methods for preparing photothermal hydrogels, emphasizing their design and synthesis, which incorporate PTAs to achieve the desired photothermal effects. The application of these hydrogels demonstrates enhanced infection control and tissue regeneration, supported by their unique photothermal properties. Although research progress in photothermal hydrogels is promising, challenges remain. We address these issues and explore future directions to enhance their therapeutic potential.
Identification of autophagy receptors for the Crohn’s disease-associated adherent-invasive Escherichia coli

Published: March 2024

Introduction

Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease, of which the etiology involves genetic, environmental and microbial factors. Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) and polymorphisms in autophagy-related genes have been implicated in CD etiology. Autophagy is a key process for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, which allows the degradation of damaged cytoplasmic components and pathogens via lysosome. We have shown that a functional autophagy is necessary for AIEC clearance. Here, we aimed at identifying the autophagy receptor(s) responsible to target AIEC to autophagy for degradation.

Methods

The levels of autophagy receptors p62, NDP52, NBR1, TAX1BP1 and Optineurin were knocked down in human intestinal epithelial cells T84 using siRNAs. The NDP52 knock-out (KO) and p62 KO HeLa cells, as well as NDP52 KO HeLa cells expressing the wild-type NDP52 or the mutated NDP52Val248Ala protein were used.

Results and discussion

We showed that, among the tested autophagy receptors (p62, NDP52, NBR1, TAX1BP1 and Optineurin), diminished expression of p62 or NDP52 increased the number of the clinical AIEC LF82 strain inside epithelial cells. This was associated with increased pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Moreover, p62 or NDP52 directly colocalized with AIEC LF82 and LC3, an autophagy marker. As the NDP52Val248Ala polymorphism has been associated with increased CD susceptibility, we investigated its impact on AIEC control. However, in HeLa cell and under our experimental condition, no effect of this polymorphism neither on AIEC LF82 intracellular number nor on pro-inflammatory cytokine production was observed. Together, our results suggest that p62 and NDP52 act as autophagy receptors for AIEC recognition, controlling AIEC intracellular replication and inflammation.

Edwardsiella piscicida, a significant intracellular pathogen, is widely distributed in aquatic environments and causes systemic infection in various species. Therefore, it’s essential to develop a rapid, uncomplicated and sensitive method for detection of E. piscicida in order to control the transmission of this pathogen effectively. The recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) assay is a newly developed, rapid detection method that has been utilized for various pathogens. In the present study, a real-time RAA (RT-RAA) assay, targeting the conserved positions of the EvpP gene, was successfully established for the detection of E. piscicida. This assay can be performed in a one-step single tube reaction at a temperature of 39°C within 20 min. The RT-RAA assay exhibited a sensitivity of 42 copies per reaction at a 95% probability, which was comparable to the sensitivity of real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay. The specificity assay confirmed that the RT-RAA assay specifically targeted E. piscicida without any cross-reactivity with other important marine bacterial pathogens. Moreover, when clinical specimens were utilized, a perfect agreement of 100% was achieved between the RT-RAA and qPCR assays, resulting a kappa value of 1. These findings indicated that the established RT-RAA assay provided a viable alternative for the rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of E. piscicida.

Introduction

Systematic evaluation of long-term outcomes in survivors of H1N1 is still lacking. This study aimed to characterize long-term outcomes of severe H1N1-induced pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Method

This was a single-center, prospective, cohort study. Survivors were followed up for four times after discharge from intensive care unit (ICU) by lung high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), pulmonary function assessment, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and SF-36 instrument.

Result

A total of 60 survivors of H1N1-induced pneumonia and ARDS were followed up for four times. The carbon monoxide at single breath (DLCO) of predicted values and the 6MWT results didn’t continue improving after 3 months. Health-related quality of life didn’t change during the 12 months after ICU discharge. Reticulation or interlobular septal thickening on HRCT did not begin to improve significantly until the 12-month follow-up. The DLCO of predicted values showed negative correlation with the severity degree of primary disease and reticulation or interlobular septal thickening, and a positive correlation with physical functioning. The DLCO of predicted values and reticulation or interlobular septal thickening both correlated with the highest tidal volume during mechanical ventilation. Levels of fibrogenic cytokines had a positive correlation with reticulation or interlobular septal thickening.

Conclusion

The improvements in pulmonary function and exercise capacity, imaging, and health-related quality of life had different time phase and impact on each other during 12 months of follow-up. Long-term outcomes of pulmonary fibrosis might be related to the lung injury and excessive lung fibroproliferation at the early stage during ICU admission.
Multimodal cohesion and viewers' comprehension of scene transitions in film: an empirical investigation
Authors: Markhabayeva Dayana , Tseng Chiao-I
Published: March 2024

This paper presents three empirical studies that unravel how the devices of multimodal cohesion support viewers' narrative interpretation of scene transitions in film. The linguistics-informed method of cohesion analysis in film uncovers the establishment of cohesive ties between characters, objects, settings and characters' actions. Previous studies using eye-tracking and comprehension tests already indicate the significance of multimodal cohesion in people's comprehension of background settings within a continuous scene. The present paper investigates further whether film cohesion impacts viewers' story comprehension across different scenes and settings. Moreover, it also explores whether the spatio-temporal relations between scenes is a significant factor, along with cohesive devices, in viewers' scene comprehension. Methodologically, we create contrasting film situations by manipulating cohesion structures and spatio-temporal orders of scenes. Our comparative analyses of viewers' comprehension of these different film situations reveal that the presence of cohesive cues significantly can influence viewers' accurate scene comprehension. Through testing the inter-relation of cohesion, spatio-temporal order, characters' intention and viewers' time perception, this paper offers new avenues for further exploration of space, time and coherence in film.
The UK public’s trust in tobacco industry involvement in science – an experimental survey
Authors: Legg Tess , Bero Lisa , Lewandowsky Stephan
Published: March 2024

Introduction

Despite the tobacco industry’s (TI) decades-long history of manipulating science, Philip Morris International (PMI) now frames itself as a benevolent funder of science and, in 2017, launched a new scientific organisation, the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World (FSFW). With concerns mounting that PMI’s actions are echoing historical TI influence on science, we aimed to understand the extent to which the public trusts PMI’s involvement in science, and whether channelling funds through a third-party organisation affects these levels of trust.

Methods

Through a representative survey of the UK public (n=1580) we investigated trust in direct (PMI), indirect (FSFW), and no (Cancer Research UK) TI involvement in science. Conservative worldview was investigated as a possible predictor of trust. Structural equation modelling was used to explore associations between variables.

Results

Although PMI was significantly less trusted than FSFW and Cancer Research UK, the public did not completely distrust it as a scientific source. Trust in FSFW’s involvement in science was higher before participants understood its TI funding. People with conservative worldviews demonstrated greater trust in TI involvement in science.

Discussion

The UK public needs to be better informed that the TI is not a trustworthy scientific source. Since channelling TI research funds through a third party increases the perceived trustworthiness of its science, steps to prevent such relationships are warranted. People with conservative leanings hold concerning views on TI involvement in science, which may be particularly hard to correct.
Complex network theory and game theory-based partitioning decision-making of parallel restoration for resilient power grid
Authors: Wei Xin , Pan Lianrong , Xie Daiyu , Yang Sheng , Wei Boyao
Published: March 2024

The ability of fast restoration reflects power system resilience and safety. This paper proposes a partitioning decision-making method for parallel restoration based on the label propagation algorithm and the cooperative game theory. The topological and physical characteristics of blackout systems are considered as the edge weight and the node importance simultaneously for formulating the partitioning model. By the label propagation algorithm, various labels representing different subsystems mark all buses. To accelerate the speed of convergence and prevent the label oscillation, this paper proposes a game strategy of cooperation between buses and subsystems by evaluating the Shapley value of buses. The partitioning constraints are integrated into each label propagation process to assess the feasibility of the partitioning strategy. Finally, case studies on the IEEE 39- and 118-bus test systems and an actual urban power system in South China verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Published: March 2024

In the process of multi-energy system optimal scheduling, due to the high data processing requirements of the multi-energy devices and loads and the complexity of the operating states of the multi-energy devices, the scheduling optimization of the system is to some extent more difficult. To address this problem, this paper proposes a regional multi-energy system optimal scheduling model based on the theory of cloud-edge collaboration. First, based on intelligent data sensors, a cloud-edge cooperative scheduling framework of the regional multi-energy system is constructed. Then, the physical model of operating state data of multi-energy system equipment and the allocation mechanism of system scheduling tasks are studied. With the cloud service application layer and the edge computing layer as the upper and lower optimization scheduling layers, the double-layer optimization scheduling model of the regional multi-energy system is established. The objectives of the model are optimal scheduling cost and minimum delay of scheduling data transmission. The multi-objective whale optimization algorithm is used to solve the model. Finally, a simulation model is built for verification. The simulation results show that the scheduling model established in this paper can effectively improve the scheduling data processing capability and improve the economy of regional multi-energy system scheduling.

Introduction: To consider the growing health issues caused by antibiotic resistance from a “one health” perspective, the contribution of meat production needs to be addressed. While antibiotic resistance is naturally present in microbial communities, the treatment of farm animals with antibiotics causes an increase in antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) in the gut microbiome. Pigs are among the most prevalent animals in agriculture; therefore, reducing the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the pig gut microbiome could reduce the spread of antibiotic resistance. Probiotics are often studied as a way to modulate the microbiome and are, therefore, an interesting way to potentially decrease antibiotic resistance.

Methods: To assess the efficacy of a probiotic to reduce the prevalence of ARGs in the pig microbiome, six pigs received either treatment with antibiotics (tylvalosin), probiotics (Pediococcus acidilactici MA18/5M; Biopower® PA), or a combination of both. Their faeces and ileal digesta were collected and DNA was extracted for whole genome shotgun sequencing. The reads were compared with taxonomy and ARG databases to identify the taxa and resistance genes in the samples.

Results: The results showed that the ARG profiles in the faeces of the antibiotic and combination treatments were similar, and both were different from the profiles of the probiotic treatment (p < 0.05). The effects of the treatments were different in the digesta and faeces. Many macrolide resistance genes were detected in a higher proportion in the microbiome of the pigs treated with antibiotics or the combination of probiotics and antibiotics. Resistance-carrying conjugative plasmids and horizontal transfer genes were also amplified in faeces samples for the antibiotic and combined treatments. There was no effect of treatment on the short chain fatty acid content in the digesta or the faeces.

Conclusion: There is no positive effect of adding probiotics to an antibiotic treatment when these treatments are administered simultaneously.

Introduction

Acute liver failure (ALF) is defined as acute loss of liver function leading to hepatic encephalopathy associated with a high risk of patient death. Brain injury markers in serum and tissue can help detect and monitor ALF-associated brain injury. This study compares different brain injury parameters in plasma and tissue along with the progression of ALF.

Method

ALF was induced by performing an 85% liver resection. Following the resection, animals were recovered and monitored for up to 48 h or until reaching the predefined endpoint of receiving standard medical therapy (SMT). Blood and serum samples were taken at Tbaseline, T24, and upon reaching the endpoint (Tend). Control animals were euthanized by exsanguination following plasma sampling. Postmortem brain tissue samples were collected from the frontal cortex (FCTx) and cerebellum (Cb) of all animals. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and tau protein and mRNA levels were quantified using ELISA and qRT-PCR in all plasma and brain samples. Plasma neurofilament light (NFL) was also measured using ELISA.

Results

All ALF animals (n = 4) were euthanized upon showing signs of brain herniation. Evaluation of brain injury biomarkers revealed that GFAP was elevated in ALF animals at T24h and Tend, while Tau and NFL concentrations were unchanged. Moreover, plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) levels were negatively correlated with total protein and positively correlated with both aspartate transaminase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (AP). Additionally, lower GFAP and tau RNA expressions were observed in the FCTx of the ALF group but not in the CB tissue.

Conclusion

The current large animal study has identified a strong correlation between GFAP concentration in the blood and markers of ALF. Additionally, the protein and gene expression analyses in the FCTx revealed that this area appears to be susceptible, while the CB is protected from the detrimental impacts of ALF-associated brain swelling. These results warrant further studies to investigate the mechanisms behind this process.

Authors: Wang Siyao , Gong Xu , Xiao Fei , Yang Yun
Published: March 2024

Microbial communities in the human gut play a significant role in regulating host gene expression, influencing a variety of biological processes. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying host-microbe interactions, tools that can dissect signaling networks are required. In this review, we discuss recent advances in molecular tools used to study this interplay, with a focus on those that explore how the microbiome regulates host gene expression. These tools include CRISPR-based whole-body genetic tools for deciphering host-specific genes involved in the interaction process, Cre-loxP based tissue/cell-specific gene editing approaches, and in vitro models of host-derived organoids. Overall, the application of these molecular tools is revolutionizing our understanding of how host-microbiome interactions contribute to health and disease, paving the way for improved therapies and interventions that target microbial influences on the host.
