Everything you always wanted to know about Bakhtin (but were afraid to ask Groys): Pop culture and the persistence of hieratic senses
Authors: Ponce Ariel Gómez
Published: September 2024

This article examines the intersection of Boris Groys’ and Mikhail Bakhtin’s cultural theories, with the aim of elucidating how the concept of carnivalization informs Groys’ thought. It argues that engaging in a dialog between these two thinkers provides a framework for understanding pop culture as a significant place where market forces, consumer society, and mass media interact in complex ways, challenging traditional theoretical perspectives. The article reaches such an interpretation, suggesting that Bakhtin proposes a secularized view of popular culture, where meaning-making retains traces of religious significance. This hieratic dimension, marked by the persistence of fetishistic and cult practices, is also observed by Groys in his analysis of contemporary media culture, which is imbued with ritualistic and cultic imagery. Through documentary analysis and critical interpretation, the article contends that the ecstatic dissolution of individuality and the enduring sacredness of icons are key features of current pop culture, where a strong semiotic dynamic drives the continual mutation and transformation of signs. The conclusions highlight the importance of Bakhtin’s influence on Groys’ thought and his concept of carnivalization, proposing further research into its implications for the study of pop culture.
“Push out” and “pull in” factors of institutional delivery among rural women in central Myanmar
Authors: Sandar Mon Aye , Kyi Phyu Myo
Published: September 2024

Myanmar continues to face the burden of maternal mortality, with most maternal deaths occurring during or immediately after childbirth. Many women, particularly those in rural areas, do not deliver in health institutions offering comprehensive obstetric care. Despite the importance of institutional delivery, few studies have examined its determinants among rural women in Myanmar. This community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in selected villages in the Magway region, located in central Myanmar, and exhibited a maternal mortality ratio higher than the national average. A total of 500 married women who had delivered in the two years before the survey were selected using multistage sampling and interviewed with a semi-structured questionnaire. Independent determinants were identified using a generalized linear mixed model under a logistic regression framework. Approximately one-third (35.6%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 31.5 – 39.9%) of the respondents delivered their last child at a health institution. The “pull in” factors of institutional delivery included being aged 25 – 35 years (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.96; 95% CI: 1.21 – 7.22), having a secondary or higher education (AOR = 2.83; 95% CI: 1.50 – 5.32), receiving information from health-care providers (AOR = 2.01; 95% CI: 1.11 – 3.83), recognizing high-risk pregnancies (AOR = 5.47; 95% CI: 1.42 – 21.11), and completely taking up antenatal care (AOR = 3.04; 95% CI: 1.42 – 6.49). The “push out” factors that deterred institutional delivery included a lack of women’s autonomy (AOR = 0.26; 95% CI: 0.14 – 0.50) and inadequate birth preparedness (AOR = 0.37; 95% CI: 0.19 – 0.72). The institutional delivery rate among rural women was considerably low. To improve it, it is crucial to provide information about high-risk pregnancies and the importance of institutional delivery during antenatal visits, empower women, and encourage birth preparedness in rural Myanmar.

Published: September 2024

Bu çalışmada Daphnia magna kullanılarak tatlı sulara çeşitli yollar karışan toksik maddelerin canlılar üzerindeki etkileri araştırılmıştır. Daphnia magna su ekosisteminde birincil tüketicidir. Bu deneyde permethrin, atık motor yağı, çinko nitrat ve sodyum bifosfat maddeleri kullanılmıştır. Deneyde kullanılan toksik maddelerin üç farklı konsantrasyonu ve 10 adet D. magna ile kurulan akvaryum düzeneklerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Permethrin, atık motor yağı, çinko nitrat ve sodyum bifosfat maddelerinin D. magna üzerindeki etkileri birinci saat, dördüncü saat ve yirmi dördüncü saat sonunda gözlemlenerek kaydedilmiştir. 24 saatlik süre sonunda 1 ve 1,5 g/L permethrin uygulanan tüm D. magna’ları öldüğü görülmüştür. Atık motor yağı ile kurulan deney düzeneklerinde ise madde konsantrasyonu arttıkça ölüm oranı da artmıştır. D. magna’lar atık motor yağına yapıştığı için hareket edememiştir. Çinko nitrat kullanılan deneylerde 24 saat sonunda tüm bireyler ölmüştür. Hatta en hızlı ölüm çinko nitratta gerçekleşmiştir. Sodyum bifosfat D. magna için ölüm oranı en az olan maddedir. Deneyler sonucunda elde ettiğimiz veriler sayesinde permethrin, atık motor yağı, çinko nitrat ve sodyum bifosfatın D. magna üzerindeki etkilerini tespit ederek su ekosisteminde yaşayan ve hatta su ekosisteminde dolaylı yollarla etkilenen canlılara bu maddelerin toksik etkileri hakkındaki veri tabanına katkı sağlanmış olunacaktır. Ölümcül etki gösterdiği tespit edilen bu maddelerin kullanımına kısıtlama getirilerek canlıların ve ekosistemlerin korunması büyük önem taşımaktadır..

Aim: The aim of this research was to generate new peptide molecules with cytotoxic activity against cervical cancer that can become effective in mitigating the impact of the disease and preventing its progression. The design is based on the hybrid peptide formation strategy that allows new chemical entities to be obtained from the union of fragments of different bioactive peptides. Specifically, we worked by combining the RWQWRWQWR sequence derived from bovine lactoferricin with different functional peptides such as anticancer peptides, cervical cancer cell-targeting peptides, and cell-penetrating peptides.
Methods: Hybrid peptides and precursors were synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis using the Fmoc/tBu strategy, purified via reverse phase (RP)-solid phase extraction, and characterized by RP-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) chromatography and mass spectrometry. In vitro cytotoxicity of hybrid peptides in human cervical cancer cells lines HeLa and Ca Ski was determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay.
Results: All hybrid peptides were obtained with high purity and the experimental mass corresponds with the theoretical mass. Some hybrid peptides exhibited significant, fast, and selective cytotoxic activity against the cancerous cells evaluated, specifically those containing sequences of anticancer peptides and cell-penetrating peptides. The cytotoxic effect exerted by the monomeric and dimeric hybrid peptides depended on the concentration of the peptide, which allowed the determination of the IC50 values and the selectivity index (SI).
Conclusions: We obtained hybrid peptides with the core sequence RWQWRWQWR that are active against HeLa and Ca Ski cell lines. The combination of the RWQWRWQWR sequence with short anticancer peptides and cell-penetrating peptides allowed the creation of hybrid peptides with improved cytotoxic potency against cervical cancer. Hybrid peptides constitute a novel, viable, and useful strategy for the design and identification of peptide drugs with anticancer activity.

Published: September 2024

Aim: Biofilms of pathogenic bacteria are phenotypically resistant to antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents, host immune systems, and adverse environmental conditions, and are responsible for most chronic infections. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (APDT) is based on using of photosensitizers (PS), which generate reactive oxygen species when exposed to visible or infrared light. Previously, we demonstrated the high efficacy of new polycationic bacteriochlorins as PS against biofilms of Gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vitro. Now, we compared the toxicity of these PS to bacteria and human fibroblasts, under irradiation and in the dark. Another goal was to study the interaction of the PS with the biofilm matrix without irradiation. Methods: Photodynamic inactivation of eucaryotic cells was obtained with MTT test, and with plating of planktonic bacteria P. aeruginosa and biofilms after disrupting. The interaction of PS with the matrix was studied with electron microscopy, alcian blue staining, and quantitative evaluation of polysaccharides. Results: The absence of dark toxicity of polycationic bacteriochlorins BCl-6 and BCl-7 for human fibroblasts WI-38 at concentrations up to 200 µM and the selectivity of the studied PS to P. aeruginosa 32 bacteria, including these in biofilms, under irradiation, were found. After incubation of P. aeruginosa 32 biofilms with tetracationic BCl-6 and BCl-5 without irradiation, gross disturbances in the structure of the biofilm matrix were observed by SEM, as well as a significant reduction of Alcian blue staining and polysaccharides in the matrix. Conclusions: Polycationic bacteriochlorins BCl-6 and BCl-7 had no dark toxicity for human fibroblasts and were selective to P. aeruginosa 32 bacteria, including these in biofilms, under irradiation. The incubation of biofilms of Gram-negative bacteria with polycationic bacteriochlorin led to the destruction of the matrix without irradiation.

Authors: Langari Despoina , Mantzouridou Fani Th.
Published: September 2024

Table olives are one of the most widespread fermented foods in the Mediterranean area, presenting an exponential increase in global consumption in the latest years. As a fermented product, its microbiota consists of a complex ecosystem, the composition of which depends on a multitude of factors and affects the quality attributes of the final product. The swiftly developing and constantly evolving field of omics technologies is being applied to unravel the profile of the microbial ecosystem and enable a deeper understanding of the fermentation process. In particular, the use of amplicon metagenomics facilitates the thorough analysis of the microbiota involved as it encompasses both culturable and unculturable microorganisms. Volatilomics aims at the identification and quantification of the volatile metabolites formed during fermentation with a direct involvement in the safety and quality evaluation of the food product. The integration of metagenomic and volatilomic data, through the application of bioinformatics can enhance the understanding of the interplay between the microbial profile and volatilome, resulting in a more comprehensive view of the system. This review summarized the overall amplicon metagenomics and volatilomics analytical approaches, along with the currently available bioinformatics tools for the data analysis in the field of table olives. Emphasis is given to the integration of amplicon metagenomic and volatilomic data employed to characterize the diversity of microbial populations and reveal the relationships between them and the volatile compounds. The latter may provide an extensive view of the microbial community dynamics, which is key in table olive fermentation and the microbiota’s functional properties. The potentiality to evaluate their effect in shaping the quality and unique features of the final product is highlighted.

New Energy Management System for RES-based Microgrid Operations using SGO
Authors: Das Madhab Chandra , Patel Pritam , Swain Sarat Chandra , Nayak Binay Kumar
Published: September 2024

Due to advantages such as abundant energy sources, environmentally friendly perspectives, and straightforward power extraction, there has been increasing research on integrated microgrids incorporating photovoltaic (PV), wind, and biogas systems. Efficient utilization of renewable energy sources (RES), backup distributed generators (DGs), and storage devices within the microgrid is essential to meet power demands. Consequently, Energy Management Systems (EMS) have been introduced to microgrids, focusing on monitoring various energy resources and regulating energy consumption at specific locations. In this manner, the EMS effectively coordinates the integrated DGs within the microgrid to ensure optimal power supply to loads with minimal operational costs. The aid of decision-makers lies in comprehending a location’s strengths and constraints, enabling them to regulate usage effectively. To enhance productivity, all potential distributed generators (DGs) must be integrated into the microgrid and optimized. Despite numerous global research efforts in devising energy management systems, certain challenges persist. Ensuring a microgrid provides reliable, high-quality power is demanding, primarily due to geographical dispersion, restricted availability of distributed resources, and the seasonal and intra-day variability inherent in renewable resources. Managing a microgrid becomes intricate given these factors.
Gauss–Legendre Numerical Integrations for Average Run Length Running on EWMA Control Chart with Fractionally Integrated MAX Process
Authors: Peerajit Wilasinee
Published: September 2024

The performance of a process running on an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart is contingent upon the ability to detect changes in the process mean rapidly. This entails determining the shortest average run length (ARL) for when a process becomes out-of-control (ARL1). Herein, we propose a numerical integral equation (NIE) method to approximate the ARL for a long-memory fractionally integrated moving-average process with an exogenous variable with underlying exponential white noise running on an EWMA control chart using the Gauss-Legendre quadrature. In a numerical evaluation to compare its performance with that derived by using explicit formulas for this scenario, both performed equally well in terms of accuracy percentage (> 95%) and showed very consistent ARL1 values. Therefore, the NIE approach is acceptable for approximating the ARL for this specific situation. In addition, comparing their standard deviations of the run length (SDRLs) illustrates that the NIE method performed better in rapidly detecting a shift in the process mean. Real data consistent with an FI-MAX process were also analyzed to demonstrate the applicability of using the proposed method for FI-MAX processes on EWMA charts.

Some considerations regarding the relationship between the central terms of pedagogical terminology and its semantics are discussed in this article. Also, it is difficult to imagine pedagogy and its content as a field, a science without field terminology. We know that the study of the pedagogical terminology of the Uzbek language serves to solve not only the problems of the pedagogical field, but also the theoretical and practical problems of professional education in all fields.

Despite the significant impact of vaccination on reducing child mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases like measles, polio, tuberculosis, and haemophilus influenza, vaccine uptake and coverage remain a challenge, particularly in countries like Nigeria. While the government provides free routine immunization up to age two, many children miss out on essential vaccines beyond this age due to various factors. This study aimed to investigate the awareness, attitudes, and practices of mothers regarding childhood immunization, particularly beyond the age of two, in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos, Nigeria. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 291 mothers, collecting data on immunization awareness, attitudes, and practices using a modified, pretested questionnaire administered through an online survey. Descriptive and inferential Chi-square statistics were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that the majority of participants were Yoruba (77.3%), semi-employed (53.6%), and had tertiary education (92.1%). Although 76.6% of the women demonstrated poor knowledge of immunization, a significant majority (79.4%) had positive attitudes towards vaccination. While no significant association was found between socio-demographic variables and knowledge about immunization, ethnicity (p = 0.026), employment status (p = 0.016), and educational level (p < 0.001) were strongly associated with positive attitudes towards immunization. The overall knowledge and attitudes of mothers in Alimosho Local Government Area were found to be lower than reported in other regions of Nigeria. To address these findings, it is recommended that targeted health promotion strategies be developed to improve knowledge and awareness about immunization among mothers in this area. These strategies should leverage various media platforms to reach a wider audience and emphasize the importance of completing the full immunization schedule for children. Additionally, efforts should be made to enhance access to immunization services and address socio-demographic disparities that may influence vaccine uptake.

Studies on rock extraction sites have been of great importance for understanding the dynamics of societies, especially hunter-gatherer societies, within the framework of the territories they inhabited. In this sense, the areas with availability of lithic resources present a diverse and complex archaeological record that accounts for multiple social practices. These range from technological operations linked to the extraction of raw materials, the processing of resources and products, the manufacturing of instruments and/or their final disposal, to actions that are related to the logistics of people, the organization of work, the use of space and factors of a symbolic and/or ideological nature. In other words, these are places that bring together various techno-economic and social behaviors; spaces loaded with a particular significance where numerous knowledge, worldviews and ways of living were deployed over time. Its analysis and approaches are multiple, both from a theoretical and methodological point of view, and currently, its study is unquestionable, despite the problems of palimpsest, the difficulties in knowing the temporality of the events of obtaining rocks and the reconstruction of the dynamics of the environments where the outcrops are located.

Objetivo: Avaliar o desempenho das características vegetativas e produtivas da cultura do milho, sob a aplicação de diferentes doses de nitrogênio no município de Marcelândia-MT. Métodos: O trabalho foi conduzido entre os meses de fevereiro a junho de 2020 no município de Marcelândia, MT. Foi cultivado do híbrido de milho KWS 9822 VIP3. Os tratamentos eram compostos por 5 doses de nitrogênio (0,50,100,150 e 200 kg de N ha-1), com 4 repetições. As características que avaliadas foram: altura de planta e da inserção da espiga, diâmetro do colmo e da espiga, comprimento da espiga, peso médio da espiga, número de grãos por espiga, número de fileiras de grãos, massa de 100 grãos e produtividade. Resultados: As doses de nitrogênio influenciaram diretamente a maioria das características vegetativas e produtivas da cultura do milho, resultando em maiores produtividades. Observou-se uma resposta linear crescente na maioria das características, sugerindo que a cultura responderia positivamente a doses mais elevadas de nitrogênio. As doses de nitrogênio testadas variaram de 0 a 200 kg ha-1, com a ureia como fonte, e todos os tratamentos apresentaram melhorias significativas em altura de planta, diâmetro do colmo e produtividade de grãos. Conclusão: A maioria das características teve uma resposta linear crescente, indicando que a cultura do milho responderia a maiores doses de nitrogênio.
