Authors: Hao Yingxin , Zhang Lei , Zhang Jing , Gu Jiahui , Yu Li
Published: June 2024

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) represents the most severe manifestation of acute hypoxic respiratory failure. Studies have shown that coagulation and fibrinolysis play an important role in the occurrence of ARDS. However, diagnostic biomarkers related to coagulation and fibrinolysis in ARDS have not been fully elucidated. In the GSE32707 dataset, the differences in gene expression levels between sepsis induced ARDS (Se_ARDS) group and sepsis group were compared, and 9 important genes related to hemolysis and fibrinolysis were identified. Subsequently, we used LASSO and Random Forest to screen these 9 genes and we identified 5 diagnostic markers that may participate in the progression of ARDS, including CCL4, ITIH4, TGM2, PI3 and F13A1. The nomogram built based on markers had good diagnostic efficiency. The same results appeared in the combined validation dataset. Finally, RT-qPCR analysis results revealed significant differences in the expressions of TGM2, PI3, and ITIH4 with sepsis and Se_ARDS patients. In conclusion, we identified 5 diagnostic markers that may be involved in the progression of ARDS, including CCL4, ITIH4, TGM2, PI3 and F13A1. Our analysis can provide a basis for a better understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms of ARDS progression, thereby providing more reliable results for diagnosis.

Published: June 2024

In this study, four novel eutectogel electrolytes were developed by confining four hydrophobic natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) within a solid titania (TiO2) matrix using a non-aqueous sol-gel method and further mediating them with the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF4]). The NADESs were carefully formulated by mixing decanoic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, and palmitic acid with DL-Menthol in optimized molar ratios. The electrochemical properties of these eutectogels were comprehensively investigated utilizing cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) with porous reduced graphene oxide (rGO) electrodes. The findings reveal that the eutectogels exhibit a distinct double-layer capacitive behavior, featuring an impressively broad operating potential window (OPW) of approximately 4 V with decent values of specific capacitance (16.23 – 47.72 F g−1). High room-temperature ionic conductivities (14.53 – 16.28 mS cm−1) were also obtained. While we observed moderate values of specific power (1.7 – 3.5 kW kg−1) due to relatively higher internal resistance, the gels demonstrated specific energy as high as 106 W h kg−1. These results underscore the considerable practical potential of these eutectogels in various electrochemical applications, specifically as electrolytes in high-performance electrochemical supercapacitors.

Published: June 2024

The NMR 1Н and 13С spectra of Zn+ 2 and Cd2+ acetate mononuclear complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline M(phen)n(OAc)2•2H2O (M = Zn2+ and Cd2+, n = 1–3) for their solutions in DMSO-d6, D2O and mixture DMSO-D6–D2O were studied. The effect of the coordination centers and the solvents on the parameters of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra is considered. It is noted that the chemical shifts of the δH protons of the heteroaromatic rings of 1,10-phenanthroline are sensitive to coordination with Zn+ 2 and Cd2+ ions, but the type of solvent has the greatest effect on the δН. For M(phen)n(OAc)2•2H2O (n = 1,2) complexes, the maximum shift to a weak field of δH values occurs for the mixed solvent DMSO-D6–D2O. For complexes [M(phen)3](OAc)2•2H2O in the mixed solvent DMSO-D6–D2O, on the contrary, there is a very weak shift of the values of δH in a strong field compared with the values for DMSO-D6 and in a weak field compared with the values in D2O. The difference in the 1H NMR spectral pattern for compounds M(phen)n(OAc)2•2H2O (n = 1,2) and [M(phen)3](OAc)2•2H2O should be associated with the coordination saturation of the latter, for which the insertion of a solvent – D2O or DMSO-D6 into the internal coordination sphere is practically impossible While the complexes M(phen)n(OAc)2•2H2O (n = 1,2) are coordination-unsaturated structures and allow solvent molecules to penetrate into their internal coordination sphere. Complexes of Zn+ 2 and Cd2+ with 1,10-phenanthroline were synthesized by complexation reactions.

Published: June 2024

Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis is usually detected by physicians in patients, coincidentally, during an ultrasound examination of the neck. Therefore, measurable biomarkers in blood are needed to define the presence and severity of atherosclerotic plaque in patients to identify and manage it. We hypothesized that biomarkers that indicate pathways related to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis could be used to identify the presence and severity of plaque in patients. For this purpose, we determined the levels of participants' inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers. On the other hand, kynurenine/tryptophan and neopterin levels were measured as relatively new biomarkers of inflammation in this study. Our study included 57 patients diagnosed with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis and 28 healthy volunteers. Blood kynurenine and tryptophan levels were measured with LCMS/MS. The ELISA assay was used to measure blood catalase, total superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, malondialdehyde, and neopterin levels. According to our results, while the kynurenine and neopterin levels were higher, the tryptophan levels were lower in patients. Furthermore, the kynurenine to tryptophan ratio, which reflects IDO-1 activity, was higher in patients. On the other hand, catalase, total superoxide dismutase, and malondialdehyde levels were higher, while the glutathione peroxidase activity was lower in patients. Increasing the kynurenine/tryptophan ratio and neopterin level in patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis have been associated with an inflammatory state. The oxidative stress and inflammatory response biomarkers may be an effective diagnostic and prognostic tool for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis.
Effects of vertical forest stratification on precipitation material redistribution and ecosystem health of Pinus massoniana in the Three Gorges Reservoir area of China
Authors: Yangyang Yan , Huang Zhihua , Kun Yan , Qin Liu
Published: June 2024

Vertical stratification of forest plays important roles in the local material balance and in maintaining forest health by distributing and redistributing precipitation materials through adsorption, fixation, and release. Differences in runoff nutrient concentrations among vertical layers are closely related to vertical stratification (factors such as the trunk, canopy, forest litter, and soil physical and chemical properties). Long-term forest observations revealed significant spatial differences in Masson pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.) forests in the Three Gorges Reservoir area. Masson pine forests on downslopes were characterized by a dense canopy, green needles, and rich forest vegetation, while those on upslopes were characterized by low vegetation cover, dead trees, and decreases in the tree height, diameter at breast height, and volume per plant with increasing slope. By analyzing the soil at different sites, we found that the pH of the forest land soil differed significantly among different slope positions. Soil on upper slopes was significantly more acidic than soil on lower slopes, indicating that acidic substances were intercepted by filtration through the broad litter layer and the soil surface layer. This filtration process resulted in a normal rhizosphere environment suitable for the absorption of nutrients by vegetation on the lower slopes. In this way, downhill sites provided a good microenvironment for the growth of Masson pine and other vegetation. Our results show that direct contact between needles and acid rain was not the main cause of root death. Instead, the redistribution of rainfall substances by forest spatial stratification caused changes in the soil microenvironment, which inhibited the absorption of nutrients by the roots of Masson Pine and the growth of understory plants in Masson pine forests on upper slopes. These findings emphasize that increasing land cover with forests with vertical structural stratification plays an important role in woodland material redistribution and forest conservation.
Identifying potential ferroptosis-related biomarkers and therapeutic targets for IPAH by integrative bioinformatics approaches
Authors: Tan Mingliang , Qian Tao , Jiang Wei , Yuan Haoyong , Lu Ting , Yin Ni , Wu Zhongshi , Huang Can
Published: June 2024

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH), a rare and devastating pulmonary vascular disorder, is characterized by cellular proliferation and vascular remodeling. Although previous studies have underscored that ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell death process, plays an important regulatory role in pulmonary artery hypertension, its role remains understudied.
Methods: Gene expression profiles were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened using R software and intersected with a ferroptosis database (FerrDb V1) to identify ferroptosis-related DEGs. GO and KEGG analyses were performed to explore biological functions and potential pathways. LASSO and SVM‐RFE algorithms were used to identify optimal gene biomarkers for IPAH. GSVA and GSEA were conducted to explore biological functions and potential pathways associated with these biomarkers. The CIBESORT software was employed to predict immune genes and functions.
Results: Of 237 ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs), 27 differentially expressed FRGs (DE-FRGs) showed significant differences between IPAH and normal samples in GSE48149, with 15 downregulated and 12 upregulated genes. Six DE‐FRGs, including KEAP1, TNFAIP3, MEG3, NFS1, PRDX1, and BEX1, were identified as predictive diagnostic genes for IPAH. Among these DE-FRGs, PRDX1 and TNFAIP3 were the most promising diagnostic genes for IPAH and may play a corresponding role in IPAH by participating in the cell cycle, lysosomes, immune response, vascular smooth muscle contraction, and various diseases. CIBERSORT analysis revealed a positive correlation between neutrophils and TNFAIP3, whereas macrophages M0 exhibited a negative correlation with PRDX1.
Conclusions: Our analysis revealed six key genes in IPAH: KEAP1, TNFAIP3, MEG3, NFS1, PRDX1, and BEX1. PRDX1 and TNFAIP3, showing consistent expression across datasets, emerge as potential biomarkers and targets for IPAH.
Investigation into the Effect and Mechanism of Temozolomide (TMZ) Inducing Ferroptosis to Inhibit Glioma Cell Proliferation

Published: June 2024

Although temozolomide (TMZ) is a first-line chemotherapeutic agent for treating malignant gliomas, its mechanisms of action remain incompletely understood, and primary or acquired resistance is prevalent in certain patients, severely limiting its clinical efficacy. Therefore, elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying TMZ's mode of action is crucial for improving its therapeutic efficacy.
This study aimed to delineate the effects of TMZ on glioma cells and the molecular mechanisms underlying its induction of ferroptosis. Using human glioma cell lines U87 and U251 as models, we systematically evaluated the impact of TMZ on cell proliferation, cell cycle, DNA integrity, and oxidative stress status through experiments including CCK-8, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence. Further mechanistic investigations utilizing gene silencing and small molecule inducers elucidated the pivotal role of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) in the ferroptosis process induced by TMZ.
Results demonstrated that TMZ inhibited glioma cell proliferation, induced cell cycle arrest and DNA damage, while concurrently promoting reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and glutathione (GSH) depletion, along with downregulation of GPX4 expression. Ferroptosis inducers Erastin or RSL3 significantly augmented TMZ's cytotoxicity, exacerbating lipid peroxidation and GSH consumption. GPX4 gene silencing also enhanced TMZ's cytotoxic effects and synergistically interacted with Erastin to promote ferroptosis. Furthermore, knockdown of the GPX4 downstream target ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCC1 increased sensitivity to TMZ. This study unveiled a novel mechanism by which TMZ induces ferroptosis via the GPX4/ABCC1 pathway, providing important insights into understanding its molecular modes of action and improving clinical therapeutic efficacy.
Aviation in Transition: On the Necessity of Recycling Highly Stressed Primary Structures Post End-of-Life and Appropriate Disassembly Technologies - Part 02 - Mathematical Considerations of the Separation Process
Authors: Kreikemeier Janko , Schwieger Hans Helge
Published: June 2024

In the current effort towards sustainability, the aviation industry faces challenges in repurposing carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) components effectively. Traditional "downcycling" methods fail to maintain CFRP integrity, as they involve cutting load-bearing fibers and re-embedding them with new polymers, which leads to fragmentation and loss of properties.
Innovative solutions like non-destructive disassembly or dismanteling offer precise separation without compromising fiber integrity. This method allows for the direct reuse of materials in similar or new applications and highlights the importance of advanced recycling technologies for fiber-reinforced plastics.
Finite element method (FEM) analysis shows the basic separation mechanism functions without damaging the base material in simulated shell structures. Safety margins are within acceptable ranges, and additional damping forces enhance process safety. Thinner wedges are recommended as they generate lower loads, exhibit less dependency on plate stiffness, and require shorter crack lengths. Fracture risk is influenced by specific parameters.
Critical parameters must be determined during structure development, as they cannot be varied in existing components without design considerations for recyclability. However, green inputs can be directly modified to improve the process. Targeted force applications, such as pressing at the crack tip and relieving force at the wedge contact point, reduce structural load. A cable force mechanism, supported by a lateral roller, effectively relieves wedge contact force.
In summary, the wedge separation process is suitable for non-destructive disassembly of stiffeners, representing a promising approach for developing practical test stands.

Published: June 2024

Objective: The study aimed to examine the association between allergic rhinitis and early-life indoor environmental exposure in preschool children in Haikou City, providing a scientific theoretical basis for the prevention of allergic rhinitis in this population.
Methods: In January 2021, we conducted the China Child and Home Health (CCHH) study using a case-control approach with 1090 preschool children in Haikou City, Hainan Province, including 218 cases and 872 controls. The study included baseline demographic information, residential and indoor environmental characteristics, living habits, and children's allergies. Two-level logistical regression analysis was used to examine the association of Early-Life Exposure indoor environment with preschool children allergic rhinitis in terms of odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results: Mother with an educational level of university or above (OR=1.443, 95% CI=1.024~2.035), having parental atopy (OR=4.604, 95% CI=3.339~6.349), damages or molds found in the mother's residence prior to pregnancy (OR=1.613, 95% CI=1.044~2.493), and passive smoking of the mother during pregnancy (OR=1.833, 95% CI=1.282~2.623) were risk factors for allergic rhinitis in preschool children.
Conclusions: In this case-control study, we found significant associations between parental atopy, mother's education, and indoor environment in early life with the development of allergic rhinitis in preschool children. Therefore, prophylactic measures should be actively implemented in preschool children with allergic parental atopy, as well as preventing the mother's exposure to harmful factors in the indoor environment before and during pregnancy.

Published: June 2024

With the rapid development of modern Internet of Things (IoT) technology, thehandwritten signature verification system becomes a typical Human-ComputerInteraction (HCI) application, which is often applied to many authorization documents with legal uses. To build a high-performance verification system, featureextraction is one of the most crucial steps. However, the generalization abilityof traditional deep learning-based feature extractors is not always satisfactorysince most feature extractors are only suitable for source signature datasets.In this paper, to improve the generalization ability of existing deep learning-based feature extractors for the offline signature verification task, we proposea novel multi-view learning-based framework, named Deep Canonically Corre-lated Denoising Autoencoders (DCCDAE). Specifically, the DCCDAE generatesthe joint features as the final features based on original deep learning-basedfeatures and another noisy view of them by optimizing the Canonically Cor-related Analysis (CCA) objective and minimizing the reconstruction error oforiginal features. Extensive experiments and discussions on four publicly avail-able datasets, GPDS, CEDAR, MCYT-75, and PUC-PR demonstrate that theproposed DCCDAE can improve the generalization ability of the original deeplearning-based feature extractor and achieve the state-of-the-art performancecompared with other offline signature verification systems.

Published: June 2024

Background
Angiostrongylus vasorum, the “French heartworm” is a nematode belonging to the Metastrongyloidea superfamily. This parasite was first identified in Toulouse, France by Serres in 1853 infecting the pulmonary arteries and the right side of the heart of a Pointer dog. There is no report regarding this nematode in Algeria. This report aims to investigate the presence of lungworms among different mammal species in different Algerian regions.
Materials and methods
Between February 2022 and September 2023, 47 road-killed animals were collected from six departments in Algeria. All carcasses were subjected to a full parasitological investigation, and lung tissues were preserved in 10% buffered formalin and 70% ethanol. All collected samples were subjected to histology and PCR for lungworm identification.
Results
In a single golden African wolf (Canis lupaster) collected from Constantine, the histological examination revealed the presence of nematode eggs and larvae in the alveolar space and the interstitium-associated chronic obstructive vascular changes. The molecular identification confirmed the presence of Angiostrongylus vasorum. All the other animals were negative for lungworms.
Conclusion
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of A. vasorum infecting a golden African wolf (Canis lupaster), reporting a new host association, highlighting the importance of further studies to update the geographical distribution and its epidemiology across Algeria.

Published: June 2024

Single image super-resolution (SISR) neural networks for optical microscopy have shown great capability to directly transform a low-resolution (LR) image into its super-resolution (SR) counterpart, enabling low-cost long-term live-cell SR imaging. However, when processing time-lapse data, current SISR models failed to exploit the important temporal dependencies between neighbor frames, often resulting in temporally inconsistent outputs. Besides, SISR models are subject to inference uncertainty that is hard to accurately quantify, therefore it is difficult to determine to what extend can we trust the inferred SR images. Here, we first build a large-scale, high-quality fluorescence microscopy dataset for the time-lapse image super-resolution (TISR) task, and conducted a comprehensive evaluation on two essential components of TISR neural networks, i.e., propagation and alignment. Second, we devised a deformable phase-space alignment (DPA) based TISR neural network (DPA-TISR), which adaptively enhances the cross-frame alignment in the phase domain and outperforms existing state-of-the-art SISR and TISR models. Third, we combined the Bayesian training scheme and Monte Carlo dropout with DPA-TISR, developing Bayesian DPA-TISR, and designed an expected calibration error (ECE) minimization framework to obtain a well-calibrated confidence map along with each output SR image, which reliably implicates potential inference errors. We demonstrate the unique characteristics of Bayesian DPA-TISR underlie the ultralong-term live-cell SR imaging capability with high spatial fidelity, superb temporal consistency, and accurate confidence quantification on a wide variety of bioprocesses.

Authors: Erkalan Çakır Nesibe , Demir Yasin Murat
Published: June 2024

In the texts of the comics, it is aimed to convey the message to the target audience by creating a humorous effect through metaphoric language and puns. In the translation of such texts, the same humorous effect is expected to be conveyed with similar metaphoric language and puns. This expectation is one of the difficulties that translators may encounter during the translation of comics. At this point, it is assumed that the translator will overcome these difficulties by following various translation strategies and methods in the translation process, as long as s/he has a grasp of both cultures and languages. In this study, we tried to figure out how the songs we frequently encounter in comics are translated into another language. In this context, the songs in the comic book series Les Aventures de Tintin (The Adventures of Tintin), whose original language is French, were analysed according to Hurtado Albir's "fidelity approach in translation". Overall, this study highlights that during the translation of the songs in the comics, the translator can reflect the humorous effect in a similar way to the target language when s/he deverbalizes the source text and translates the song under the norms of the target language.

Published: June 2024

En este texto se develan los modos en que se expresa la violencia género en las estructuras jurídicas de tratamiento legal a las denuncias de las mujeres víctimas de maltratos en relaciones de pareja en Colombia. Las actuaciones y fallos judiciales referidos a estos casos derivan en acciones de revictimización e inoperancia de la justicia, que perpetúan las lógicas de dominación masculina y de daño moral a las mujeres. Mientras el sistema normativo colombiano no reconozca que en sí mismo, constituye una de las estructuras elementales del patriarcado, será ineficaz en garantizarles a las mujeres una vida libre de violencias.

La Paz entre judíos y cristianos. El aporte de Juan Pablo II, a la paz interreligiosa en el siglo xx
Authors: Bolaños Motta José Ignacio , Daza Arango Angela María , Espinosa Tabares Angela Patricia
Published: June 2024

Juan Pablo II no sólo expresó sus ideas políticas y sociales a través de Encíclicas y discursos, sino también a través de la diplomacia y diversas acciones cargadas de simbolismo. Acciones que tuvieron por objetivo mostrar como ejemplo a los pertenecientes de ambas religiones, la paz subyacente entre sus líderes religiosos. De lo anterior, aunque muchos datos biográficos y logros han sido tenidos en cuenta por los biógrafos de Wojtyla, el acercamiento generado entre cristianos y judíos es quizás uno de los puntos menos profundizados en las reflexiones históricas sobre la labor de Wojtyla.

Son los Pueblos Indígenas y sus luchas quienes han venido dando carácter a la noción de interculturalidad. Y es el campo de la educación un escenario en el que la interculturalidad ha emergido y se ha labrado. Hay experiencias de educación de los Pueblos Indígenas que se han planteado como alternativas de superación de la colonialidad. La lucha del movimiento indígena, al lado de estas experiencias, ha venido configurando una plataforma de confrontación que permite presentarle a los Estados, en el caso concreto de Ecuador a los gobiernos y a la población, desafíos en torno a la comprensión de la nación y del carácter de la misma y de la educación y del carácter de la misma igualmente.
Diseño de Estrategias para la Inclusión Laboral de Personas con Diversidad Funcional Cognitiva en la segunda Ciudad más importante del Huila
Authors: Guzmán Pacheco Juan Felipe , Pinilla Diaz Carlos Andrés
Published: June 2024

En el municipio de Pitalito-Huila (Colombia) se evidencia un alto grado de desconocimiento sobre la diversidad funcional cognitiva, generando una problemática social que levanta barreras e impide la inclusión de personas en esta condición. Es así que, el problema de inclusión laboral para personas con diversidad funcional surge del desconocimiento de esta condición, de la percepción errada sobre sus capacidades, de las deficiencias educativas en torno a las competencias laborales y de la falta de intervención gubernamental en la divulgación de las políticas públicas de inclusión. Finalmente, se proponen estrategias bajo el modelo de innovación de la triple hélice para lograr efectividad en los procesos inclusivos de inserción social, educativa y laboral.
Las propiedades de la constitución y la justificación de su interpretación especial en el Estado constitucional
Authors: Celis Vela Dúber Armando
Published: June 2024

En el constitucionalismo contemporáneo suele afirmarse que la interpretación constitucional es especial respecto de la interpretación jurídica ordinaria. Una de la razones que fundamentan esta tesis se sustenta en las propiedades atribuidas a la constitución. El propósito de este texto es reconstruir el trasfondo de la tesis sobre la interpretación especial de la constitución en el Estado constitucional. En términos generales, argumento que el trasfondo de la tesis debilita su naturaleza interpretativa. La especialidad de la interpretación constitucional puede ser entendida como una reacción a la objeción democrática contra el control judicial de constitucionalidad.

Published: June 2024

The Korean Wave, also known as Hallyu, is a phenomenon of globalization of South Korean culture that has influenced many aspects of life in various countries. Indonesia is a country affected by the Korean Wave due to globalization through the media. This paper aims to analyze the impacts of four detailed movie-related Korean Wave variables (visual, vocal, celebrity, and language) on intention to visit South Korea, with country image as a mediating variable. The research sample consisted of 302 fans and non-fans of the Korean Wave who either experienced or were interested in Korean Wave cultural contents. Data were collected from September to October 2023. The results were analyzed using the Partial Least Squared Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM). The results confirm that four Korean Wave traits positively affect Indonesian tourists’ desire to travel to Korea. Improving the movie quality, including visuals, voice, celebrity, and language, might motivate Indonesian tourists to visit Korea. Likewise, the country’s image is positively and significantly influenced by each of the four Korean Wave variables. The findings were statistically significant at 5% significance level. Moreover, the study discovered that the perception of the country considerably affected the desire to travel and served as a go-between for the effects of film visuals, celebrity presence, and language on the decision to visit.

Local government finance has a critical impact on regional sustainability and governance. This study seeks to conduct comprehensive analyses of evolving trends and future directions in municipal finance research. It aims to address the insufficient longitudinal studies and fragmented understanding of how municipal finance practices and policies evolve by providing systematic evidence on dynamic trends and potential future trajectories. The study employed bibliometric analysis using Scopus and Google Scholar databases and Publish or Perish (PoP) software to analyze literature dynamics and associated topics and research trends and improve understanding of local government financial research. The results show a strong focus on local governance. Key themes included transparency, accountability, and financial sustainability, highlighting the critical need for good governance and fiscal prudence. The promising directions are technology (e-government) and comprehensive actions on the economic side through public-private partnerships and financial sustainability. Critical themes are fiscal stress, budgeting, and local government finance. However, new trends in sustainability, public-private partnerships, financial resilience, municipal bonds, and land finance are emerging as significant research areas. It highlights the field’s adaptability to evolving social and economic conditions. Through a thorough synthesis of these insights, stakeholders are better positioned to gain a deeper understanding of the current landscape of local government finance studies and their broader implications within a constantly changing global environment.

Unravelling the Ethical Enigma of Human Cloning in Nancy Farmer’s The House of the Scorpion
Authors:   Department of English, Periyar University, Dhandapani M. , Boopathi S.
Published: June 2024

Nancy Farmer’s novel The House of the Scorpion deals with complex ethical dilemmas stemming from scientific advancements, particularly in cloning. The story unfolds in a dystopian society, focusing on the treatment of clones—subhuman beings relegated to slaughter or servitude. These clones provoke profound questions about human rights, autonomy, and the impact of technology. The paper scrutinizes their status as human entities, revealing the ethical violations perpetrated against them. By drawing insights from scholars like Childress, Beauchamp, Leon R. Kass, and James Q. Wilson, the study provides a nuanced exploration of the ethical dimensions surrounding clone treatment and its broader implications for autonomy.
Loving and Terrible Mother: An Archetypal Redefinition of African Motherhood in Beloved
Authors:   Department of English, Christ University, Bangalore, Latha Aviti , S Bhavani
Published: June 2024

The memories of past experiences have an unconscious influence on the present. In her novel Beloved, Toni Morrison vividly portrays the atrocities of slavery, shedding light on the enduring psychic wounds inflicted upon subjugated Black women and their motherhood. This study explores the embedded memories, trauma, and dehumanization that control and distort the ability of Black individuals to respond to the human experiences of maternal bonds. While existing literature has extensively explored motherhood, a gap remains in understanding the archetypal development within the fragmented psyche of tormented mothers. Drawing from Carl Jung and Eric Neumann’s collective unconscious and mother archetype concept, this interdisciplinary research aims to identify and examine the dual nature of motherhood – the loving and the terrible. By analyzing the reasons behind this duality, we seek to redefine motherhood, considering the exhibition of two contradictory natures among oppressed mothers.
Rules and regulations

Published: June 2024

This chapter covers the legal framework and technical regulations that must or should be observed for the strategic asset management (AM) of urban drainage systems over the entire life cycle (planning, construction, maintenance, and dismantling). A distinction is made between rules and regulations that deal with network management in general (strategic level) and rules and regulations that address the management of individual network components and/or certain activities (e.g., CCTV-inspection and condition assessment of reaches or stormwater basins). These activities are subsumed under ‘operative level’.

It should be noted that both the legal framework and the applicable technical regulations vary widely from region to region. In some cases, different regulations apply even in different provinces or federal states of a country. Against this background, only case studies can (such as regulations that apply to Germany, France, Colombia or Canada) and will be presented in this chapter.

It is thus made clear that AM in the sense of ISO 55000 to 55002 (AM) enables a structured approach to a multi-layered field of tasks. In this way, goals and conflicting goals can be identified and prioritized at various levels and, in conjunction with the continuous improvement process in accordance with ISO 9000 and 9001 (Quality Management Systems), efficient ways can be found to achieve these goals.

Published: June 2024

Monitoring the technical state of an urban drainage (UD) system is at the core of asset management, the deployment of visual inspection technology (either using direct visual access for inspection of applying photo and/or video cameras) was and has remained the main method of gathering information on the technical state. Despite some known fundamental shortcomings visual inspection is expected to remain the main source of information for inspection for the foreseeable future. This chapter discusses the virtues of visual inspection but also provides insight into other technologies that have been tried and/or deployed on a more limited scale but do offer access to more and more exact information when compared to the visual methods. Although not much experience is available, inspection techniques for nature-based solutions will be discussed as well.

Urban drainage operation, management and rehabilitation can be divided into two distinct segments: traditional grey infrastructures (i.e. pipes and associated components) and green infrastructures. For piped systems this boils down to maintaining the operational safety, stability and tightness of the sewers and special structures. However, this chapter provides an overview on both realms and highlights that, while there is a lot of standardization for grey infrastructures, the knowledge on green ones is much more fractured. They are often composed of both engineered and natural elements such as pipes, flow control systems, vegetation, micro-organisms in the soil or growing media, and also deliver a broad range of beneficial services to our communities and their inhabitants. Existing terminology for pipe networks is adapted by defining a similar distinction for green infrastructures based on the severity of the necessary actions. There will be no focus on other special structures and machinery. Adopting these distinctions, this chapter consists of three parts: (1) pipe network operation and maintenance (O&M), (2) structural rehabilitation of pipe networks and the connected manholes and (3) green infrastructure rehabilitation including O&M focusing on some examples. Consequently, this chapter can be used as guidance on available technologies, existing guidelines and research gaps.
