Nísia Floresta e Mary Woolstonecraft
Authors: Duarte Constância Lima
Published: May 2024

Um artigo do caderno mais!, do Jornal Folha de São Paulo (de 10/09/1995), contendo acusações a Nísia Floresta Brasileira Augusta (1810-1885) de haver plagiado escritores europeus em seu livro Direitos das Mulheres e injustiça dos homens (Recife, 1832), é tomado como uma provocação para o presente ensaio. Apesar de reconhecer méritos no artigo, como, por exemplo, a descoberta de outros pensadores que Nísia Floresta leu e assimilou em seu trabalho, discordo do posicionamento assumido pela articulista e considero oportuno o debate em torno de conceitos como “plágio” e “apropriação”, entre outros, principalmente pelo equívoco de se tentar ler e julgar hoje, a partir de uma perspectiva redutora e ingênua, algo que foi escrito há cerca de 160 anos, naturalmente submetido a outros parâmetros, conceitos e procedimentos intelectuais.

Entre ditos e interditos
Authors: Scarpelli Marli Fantini
Published: May 2024

Pretendo demonstrar, neste ensaio, que o narrador do conto “Missa do galo”, de Machado de Assis, trapaceia quando afirma sua incerteza sobre uma experiência de sedução em que ele teria sido envolvido quando jovem. O desenlace do conto revela que sua estratégia discursiva estava investida na construção de uma trama em cujo interior se urdia secretamente uma outra historia, cuja versão colide com a da historia visível. O artifício da simulação culmina na perversão irônica do narrador, cujo logro reside primeiro em burlar o leitor, para, em seguida, passar-lhe a senha mediante a qual ele possa descobrir as regras de um jogo em que é desafiado a participar.

Entre 1954 e 1969 Carlos Drummond de Andrade escreveu trêscrônicas semanais nas páginas do jornal carioca Correio da Manhã, hojedesaparecido, mas que na época era o mais importante jornal brasileiro.Uma ínfima parte dessas crônicas foi publicada em volume. Escolhidaspelo próprio autor através do critério da atemporalidade, ou da literalidade,as crônicas que hoje conhecemos de Drummond são aquelas que o autorestimou merecerem sobreviver ao tempo. Contudo não são as que hojepermitem revelar aspectos desconhecidos do poeta e que dizem respeito àsua relação com a sociedade brasileira. A leitura das crônicas do Correioda Manhã revela um autor presente e participante na vida pública daépoca. Esse Drummond, cúmplice dos leitores com quem partilha ocotidiano, merece e precisa ser resgatado.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic was considered a public health emergency and has generated changes at the economic, political, psychological, and social levels. Previous studies carried out in the context of epidemics have shown highly reactive behaviors associated with quarantine that limit people´s functionality. The study population was defined into two categories: the group with severe mental disorder (which included major depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder), and the group with common mental disorder (which represented the rest of psychiatric emergency consultation diagnoses).
Objective: To determine the prevalence of people diagnosed with a severe mental disorder and common mental disorder during COVID-19 confinement between March and September 2020 in a reference hospital in the Colombian southwest located in Cali, Colombia; and to know mental health behaves in times of social isolation.
Methods: an observational, cross-sectional study was carried out, the sample studied corresponded to 1702 people (median age 39 years; IQR 28-55), 52.5% were men.
Results: The most frequent consultation diagnosis was schizophrenia (26.3%), followed by bipolar affective disorder (21.2%), anxiety disorder (18%), major depressive disorder (10.9%). Significant associations were found between severe mental disorders and sociodemographic variables (p <0.05).
Conclusions: During COVID-19 confinement, the most frequently diagnosed mental disorder in the psychiatric emergency department was schizophrenia, TAB, anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder.

Authors:   Chemistry Department, LIMOME, Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University, Fez, Morocco, Bouayad Asmae
Published: May 2024

This research aims to examine the perceptions of university students and teachers about hybrid teaching in higher education level in Morocco after the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the challenges that both parties face when providing or following this type of teaching. The research methodology is based on a qualitative and quantitative study. This will give us an overview on hybrid teaching in Morocco. A questionnaire was addressed online to teachers and students from various disciplines and different Moroccan universities. Following this, we were able to collect 439 responses. The data were processed using simple statistical analysis. The results of this study show that hybrid teaching is becoming, after the pandemic, increasingly popular in Moroccan higher education and highly appreciated by teachers and students. However, some students have difficulties to follow it. As a result, it can be said that this mode of teaching may provide a future solution to the problem of overcrowding in Moroccan open-access universities.

Published: May 2024

Technology is being increasingly used in education to develop various forms of media that effectively support instruction and learning. The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which students majoring in electronics engineering education at Higher Education benefit from the use of different learning applications and how much influence they have on the overall level of student performance, by exploring the area of the correlation between the independent variable of Learning Strategy and student performance, with the consideration of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a possible mediator in this correlation. The current study utilized purposive sampling to collect a representative sample of 229 participants. The data was then analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM), utilizing the Partial Least Square (PLS) method as the initial approach. The software used for this analysis was SmartPLS 4.0 and Network Analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between items in this study. Based on the results of this study, effective learning strategies and a high level of student acceptance of technology will have a positive impact on student performance or lead to improved student performance. Educational applications provide the potential to be streamlined and utilized by students through a pedagogical approach, as their user-friendly nature facilitates effective deployment.
A small consideration on the partial amendment of the Labor Standards Act (draft) related to worker representatives
Authors:   The Legal Studies Institute of Chosun University, Kang Jung Soo
Published: May 2024

The worker representative system has been expanded as the subject of written agreement and hearing opinions in labor laws, including the Labor Standards Act. Workers' representatives are recognized as important in determining working conditions at workplaces in a situation where the limitations of the traditional working condition determination system are faced due to the low labor union organization rate and diversification of employment types. However, in fact, there are no legal protection regulations for the selection procedure, method, status and activity guarantee of worker representatives, so they are not functioning properly.
On October 16, 2020, the Economic, Social & Labor Council announced the results of the Labor-Management Agreement on the Improvement of the Workers' Representation System, and on March 6, 2023, the government announced the legislation of a partial amendment to the Labor Standards Act related to the Workers' Representation System based on the Economic, Social & Labor Council.
However, it cannot be said that the government's legislative amendment bill has sought legislative measures in line with the principle of equal working conditions, and legislative reorganization should be prepared to enable equal decisions by labor and management, including when there is no labor union in the workplace based on Article 32 (3) of the Constitution or in light of the basic ideology of equal working conditions in labor contracts.
Considering the relationship with the labor union, it is not easy to achieve its legal intention properly without an agreement between labor and management and constant efforts by labor and management to realize the system as originally intended. It will be necessary to seek an institutional search to realize the principle of equal working conditions even under realistic constraints, and giving workers' representatives a role in writing and changing employment rules is also positive in that sense.
Implications and Legal issues following the Termination by sunset clause of the Gold and Scraps tax credit
Authors:   The Legal Studies Institute of Chosun University, Paik Hae-Yeong
Published: May 2024

The Act On Restriction On Special Cases Concerning Taxation has established the ‘Special Taxation for Payment of Value-Added Tax by Purchasers of Gold-Related Products, Scraps’ to fundamentally prevent tax evasion and disrupt the market's trading order, and also created a ‘Deduction of an input tax amount for scraps, etc.’ to expedite the settlement of the Special Taxation for Payment of Value-Added Tax by Purchasers. This entails deducting the tax amount for the increase in import amounts, etc.
Although this Deduction of an input tax amount for scraps, etc. sunsetted on December 31, 2023, after termination by the sunset clause, it is considered necessary to improve the ‘Special Taxation for Payment of Value-Added Tax by Purchasers of Gold-Related Products, Scraps’ itself to ensure the continued promotion and maintenance of trade activation in the gold and scrap markets through value-added tax payer payments. It is necessary to induce smooth taxpayer cooperation by improving the system in the direction of reducing taxpayer cooperation costs. As specific improvement measures, suggestions include: ① reducing the difficulty of account management by assigning dedicated accounts by target business rather than item-specific accounts as current practice, ② limiting the compulsory use of dedicated transaction accounts to pay the value-added tax amount, without forcing the deposit of product values, and ③ proposing flexibility in the value-added tax payment date by not mandating the deposit of the value-added tax amount until the day after the date of supply.
Alternative Forum Requirement and Enforceability of Judgment Factor Regarding the Forum Non Conveniens Doctrine: Focusing on the United States
Authors:   The Legal Studies Institute of Chosun University, Ham Eunhye
Published: May 2024

In a globalized world, business activities are becoming increasingly de-nationalized and with that cross-border disputes are also on the rise. Parties seeking to resolve international disputes through trial may have an incentive to engage in forum shopping, which is the practice of selecting a forum where they believe they are more likely to receive a favorable judgment. In response to such a complaint, the defendant may assert forum non conveniens as a defense. Under the forum non conveniens doctrine, the court may dismiss a claim if it would cause undue inconvenience to the defendant, even if the forum has jurisdiction. The forum non conveniens doctrine has been developed mainly in the common law system, but Korea also introduced the doctrine in 2022 with the comprehensive revision of the Private International Law Act jurisdiction rules and has adopted it to a limited extent in line with the civil law system. Article 12, which stipulates this doctrine, however, does not specify specific standards for applying the doctrine, leaving it open to interpretation. Therefore, focusing on the United States, which has accumulated precedent on the forum non conveniens doctrine, this paper examines what constitutes an alternative forum and what the factors are for the enforceability of the judgment.
The forum non conveniens doctrine in the United States involves first, examining whether an alternative forum exists, and second, applying a balancing test that weighs private and public interest factors, and determine whether deference should be given to the plaintiff's chosen forum. The enforceability factor is one of the private interest factors, which is important for plaintiffs' access to justice and judicial economy. Accordingly this study examines how the forum non conveniens doctrine is interpreted and applied in the United States, and then examines the forum non conveniens doctrine in Korea.
Artificial Intelligence and Human Right
Authors:   The Legal Studies Institute of Chosun University, Kim Byeongrok
Published: May 2024

Human rights and artificial intelligence are two important concepts that interact with each other in today's rapidly developing digital age. How will artificial intelligence technology affect human rights that are spreading throughout people's lives? This question has become an increasing focus of attention. Artificial intelligence is the field that enables computer systems to simulate human-like thinking and decision-making capabilities. However, some of the problems that arise from artificial intelligence may have a direct impact on human rights.
The interaction between human rights and artificial intelligence is a complex problem. While artificial intelligence technology has the potential to harm people and human rights, it also has great potential to be used to protect and promote human rights.
Therefore, artificial intelligence technology must be developed and used while observing human rights through an approach supported by an ethical and legal framework. In this paper, after reviewing human rights issues such as artificial intelligence and freedom of expression, artificial intelligence and freedom of privacy, artificial intelligence and bias, hate, discrimination, artificial intelligence and defamation, artificial intelligence and copyright, we will discuss the issue of legal response to artificial intelligence.
Regarding the relationship between the state and science and technology, the Constitution stipulates that “the state shall endeavor to develop the national economy through innovation of science and technology and the development of information and manpower (Article 127), and the rights of authors, inventors, and scientists are protected by law (Article 22).” It declares that the state will actively plan and form for the promotion of science and technology and lead in a certain direction. In relation to these constitutional provisions, the establishment and implementation of science and technology policies can be seen as an important duty given to the Republic of Korea as a democratic welfare state.
It can be said that the main legislative duty is to achieve a balance between the value of promoting the development and utilization of artificial intelligence systems and the appropriate response to the risks that artificial intelligence can pose. To achieve a balance between artificial intelligence and human rights, it is necessary to comply with ethical values, use transparent and responsible systems, update legal regulations, and adopt an approach that guarantees stakeholder participation. By doing so, we will be able to build a future where human rights are protected while taking advantage of the potential benefits of artificial intelligence.
The Positive and Negative Regulation as Regulation Form: Focus on their meaning and backgrounds
Authors:   The Legal Studies Institute of Chosun University, Yang Chun-Soo
Published: May 2024

As the so-called 4th Industrial Revolution is progressing, regulatory innovation is emphasized. In this context, negative regulation is proposed as a preferred form of regulation instead of positive regulation. However, contrary to these requests, it is not easy to apply the form of negative regulation to the entire regulatory system. There is a gap between theoretical claims and actual regulatory reality. Various reasons can be considered for this. One of them is that there are limits to solving many regulatory problems that arise in modern society through negative regulations alone. This shows that there are reasons why many positive regulations could be found in the regulatory area. In this context, this article examines the meaning of positive and negative regulation and then handles the theoretical and historical backgrounds of these forms of regulation. This article argues that there are many reasons why the form of positive regulation is expanding in place of negative regulation today. Accordingly, this article argues that it is not valid to understand positive and negative regulation as a dichotomy of ‘regulation <-> innovation’. This article argues that what we need is to explore regulatory measures that can support social innovation on the one hand while taking modern society’s complexity into account on the other hand.

Background: Septic shock is one of severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) complication with high mortality. Various laboratory parameters had been associated with poor outcome including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), red cell distribution width (RDW), procalcitonin, neutrophil to albumin ratio (NAR), and bun to albumin ratio (BAR). This study aimed to know the relationship between inflammatory markers with mortality of severe CAP patients with septic shock.
Methods: This study is an observational analytic study using a cohort retrospective design conducted in Prof. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital over a 3 years’ period (January 2020 to July 2023). The relative risk (RR) values showed relative risk of each parameter to mortality.
Results: Of total 73 subjects, mortality was found in 68.5%. Male predominance was found (65.8%). Comorbid disease was reported in 69 subjects (94.5%), most found was cardiovascular disease (63%). Majority of the subjects did not have history of prior antibiotics use (86.3%). In multivariate analysis, it was found that NLR with cutoff ≥16.5 (p value 0.044; 95% CI 1.039-14.011; RR 3.816), procalcitonin ≥1.82 (p value 0.029; 95% CI 1.148-13.560; RR 3.945), and BAR ≥8.13 (p value 0.003; 95% CI 1.961-21.912; RR 7.399) are associated with mortality. There was no relationship between RDW ≥14.65 (p value 0.159; 95% CI 0.658-12.877) and NAR ≥4.5 (p value 0.436; 95% CI 0.429-7.106) with mortality in this study.
Conclusions: Mortality of severe CAP patients with septic shock in this study is high. Higher NLR, procalcitonin, and BAR values have a significant relationship with mortality of severe CAP patients with septic shock.
Polski słownik asocjacyjny. Dwie dekady. Tom 1. Od bodźca do reakcji
Authors: Gawarkiewicz Roman
Published: May 2024

“Polish Associative Dictionary. Two decades” comprises two volumes. The first one, authored by Roman Gawarkiewicz, contains empirical linguistic material organised according to the scheme from stimulus to response. The second volume, authored by Barbara Rodziewicz, presents linguistic data in the order from response to stimulus.
The linguistic material included in both volumes of the dictionary was obtained as a result of association studies conducted in 2003 and in 2023. Students of various faculties and specialisations studying at Polish universities participated in both studies. The respondents were given questionnaires containing 110 stimulus words – the same in 2003 and 2023 – and were asked to write the verbal reactions they evoked in the form of a single word or phrase next to the stimulus words. The list of stimulus words included, among others, concepts covering such headword categories as anti-values, ideas and attitudes, names of actions, activities and states, names of communities and members of those communities, temporal symbols and concepts, names of objects of the surrounding natural world, and quantitative and qualitative categorisers.
In our opinion, the concept of both volumes of the dictionary, which contains a compilation of linguistic data obtained in the association studies of 2023 and 2003, can serve as a basis for intra-linguistic comparative analyses. This is because it makes it possible to infer both the scale of the linguistically determined perceptual limitations of the respondents and to describe the influence of the current socio-cultural background on this process, i.e. the current factors of decisive importance for the respondents in the process of choosing categorisation schemes for objects and phenomena of the surrounding world. In fact, the dictionary material will make it possible to come closer to answering questions about how people accumulate current experiences, what they remember and what they treat with conviction as norms and patterns around which their linguistic and cultural community unites.
Volume One contains headwords compiled on the basis of the data obtained in the 2023 and 2003 surveys. In the structure of each headword labelled with the date of the surveys, next to the stimulus word there are all the response words ordered according to the indicators of their frequency given by the respondents – from response words indicated most often to single response words. The entries are concluded with the following data – number of respondents who responded to the given stimulus word, number of different response words, number of respondents who did not respond, number of single responses.
The second volume was developed according to the key from response to stimulus. It contains a complete list of the collected results of the 2023 and 2003 association tests in the form of verbal responses given in alphabetical order, together with the numerical data characterising them.

With the development of medicine and the aging population, the demand
for more effective therapies is escalating. A tool that facilitates the discovery and
introduction of new therapeutic drugs is High-Throughput Screening (HTS). These tests, consisting of a wide set of various assays, allow testing hundreds of thousands of compounds in a short period of time. The aim is to accurately identify active compounds that could become potential therapeutic candidates in the pharmaceutical industry. HTS is the first step in the quest for potential drugs, therefore it is one of the crucial tests that determine whether a particular drug candidate will be discovered. In this review, different stages of high-throughput screening studies will be described, as well as methods utilized in these studies. The necessary steps in the optimization of these tests, selection of equipment, automation  and key quality control parameters for reliably performed screening will also be presented.
Experimental Animal Models in Neurological Diseases
Authors: Şirin Neslihan , Demir Şerif
Published: May 2024

The human brain is a structure that controls billions of neurons and trillions of connections. Having a unique anatomy with countless neurons and connections makes its understanding even more complex. The brain, divided into different regions for specialized functions such as memory, movement, sensation, and emotions, holds great significance in human cognition and behavior. Centuries of research, coupled with advancements in technology, have propelled neuroscience forward, facilitating the understanding of the neurological, behavioral, and structural characteristics of the brain. Developing treatments for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, migraine, epilepsy, and schizophrenia as well as understanding the complex mechanisms of these diseases, require the exploration of new treatment methods, drugs, and products through direct experimentation on humans, which raises ethical concerns. Therefore, experimental animal models are needed in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. There are currently many experimental animal models developed to elucidate the pathophysiological characteristics of neurological disorders. The aim of this review was to summarize the experimental models of neurodegenerative diseases developed today in sections. While recognizing that an experimental animal model may not fully replicate the disease process in humans, it can at least provide guidance in understanding the disease.
Iluminação como uma infraestrutura de cuidado
Authors: Duarte Artur Souza
Published: May 2024

This integrative literature review addresses the relevance of illumination. Through the lens of infrastructures of care, it proposes three analysis categories: (a) "illumination, culture, and life in society" gather studies on cultural and social aspects involving lighting; (b) "access to lighting, technology, and sustainability" demonstrates how access to light and technologies needs discussion considering structural disparities, resource scarcity, and sustainability; (c) "illumination in healthcare" explores its influence on the environment and perception of users in care settings. These themes intersect and demand a transdisciplinary approach. Analyses suggest that lighting projects and systems can contribute to feelings of welcoming, well-being, and belonging, while ensuring good visibility for services and procedures, alongside controlling glare and reflectance. Expanding exploratory research in social and community settings through case studies and prototype implementation is recommended. There is room for additional research considering illumination as an infrastructure of care, focusing on access and the positive experience of users and citizens.
Sobre la posición de la negación: la estructura
Authors: Fábregas Antonio , González Rodríguez Raquel
Published: May 2024

This paper studies the structure in which negation precedes a participle, following the scheme ; specifically, establishing the conditions under which that sequence is possible. It is argued that there are two requirements that determine the possibility of having that construction: on the one hand, the participle must contain verbal structure and, specifically, the projection corresponding to the causative subevent; on the other hand, negation must not interfere between the heads that form the participle. The second condition allowing to understand why  is possible in the nominal domain, but not in verbal periphrases. The first one accounts for the fact that not all participial forms that modify a noun accept the anteposition of no.

Osteosarcoma After Total Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Martínez-Collado Pablo , Pujol Oriol , Bustos Andrés , Plomer Martí , Carrasco María G. , Silva Tulio , Vélez Roberto , Minguell Joan
Published: May 2024

Case:

A 79-year-old woman presented with a periprosthetic fracture 8 years after a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Radiographs demonstrated tibial implant loosening with severe osteolysis. A high-grade osteosarcoma around the prosthesis was diagnosed, and a supracondylar femoral amputation was performed. After 2 years, no complications have occurred.

Conclusions:

A malignant tumor around a TKA is extremely rare. Surgeons should remain vigilant with patients who present with rapidly progressive or very aggressive implant loosening with osteolysis. Owing to its complexity and potentially devastating prognosis, treatment should be guided by a specialist multidisciplinary team. Complex limb salvage procedures or amputation is usually required.

Published: May 2024

Case:

A 71-year-old woman presented with post-traumatic arthritis 11 months after open reduction and internal fixation for a left proximal humerus fracture (PHF) dislocation. After revision to reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA), the patient's left upper extremity was found to be avascular. An emergent thrombectomy was performed with restoration of arterial flow after removal of an acute-on-chronic axillary artery thrombus.

Conclusion:

Although rare, as rTSA becomes more common for management of PHF, incidence of associated vascular injuries is likely to rise. Screening methods and clinical vigilance in diagnosis are advised for patients with anterior PHF dislocations and arterial injury risk factors.

Pressure Dependent Nonlinearities of a Compact Hydro-Pneumatic Strut with Integrated Gas-Oil Chamber
Authors: Seifi Abolfazl , Rakheja Subhash , Yin Yuming
Published: May 2024

Hydro-Pneumatic Struts (HPS) are widely implemented in automobile, aerospace, and construction industries, mainly for the purpose of vibration and shock absorption. The HPS design with integrated gas-oil chamber is relatively more compact and robust, while mixing gas and oil inside the HPS generates gas-oil emulsion and more nonlinearities. This study formulated a nonlinear analytical model of the compact HPS with gas-oil emulsion, considering the real gas law and pressure-dependent LuGre friction model. The polytropic version of the van der Waals (vdW) method for real gas is applied to represent the thermodynamic behavior of nitrogen. The experimental data were collected at a near constant temperature of 30°C with three charging pressures under excitations in the frequency range of 0.5-6Hz, considering two flow connection configurations between chambers as one- and two-bleed orifice. The nonlinear behavior of the gas volume fraction of the emulsion was identified based on peak strut velocity and charge pressure. Discharge coefficients of bleed and check valves were determined as a function of the instantaneous pressure difference between chambers. The parameters of the pressure-dependent LuGre model, such as the Stiction force and Coulomb force apart from stiffness and damping coefficient of bristle deflection, were also investigated considering the effect of pressure variation. Compared to the generally used ideal gas and Coulomb friction models, the proposed model considerably improved the prediction accuracy of the total force and pressures of HPS, with normalized root-mean-square deviations of about 8%.

On January 1, 2024, Japan was hit by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake. While the victims are receiving assistance, Japan must also begin to recover from the disaster. To facilitate recovery from the Noto Peninsula earthquake, we introduce a community-based participatory research program, implemented in cooperation between universities and local communities after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. In this project, the university and the town of Shichigahama, one of the affected areas, collaborated to hold annual workshops in the target area, which evolved into a climate monitoring survey. Even in Japan, where disaster prevention planning is common, various problems arise in the process of emergency response, recovery and reconstruction, and building back better when disasters beyond expectations occur. It is difficult for residents and local governments to solve these problems alone, and it is desirable for experts to participate in the response process. In this paper, we interviewed town hall official and university officials as representatives of local residents regarding this project and discussed their mutual concerns. The community-based participatory research framework developed in the Shichigahama project could be used effectively in recovering from the Noto Peninsula Earthquake as well as in future reconstruction and disaster management projects.

Published: May 2024

Over the past decades, multimodal transportation has played a crucial role in modern logistics and transportation systems due to its high capacity and low cost. However, multimodal transportation, which is mainly driven by fossil fuels, potentially contributes to significant carbon emissions. In the context of global sustainable development, reducing carbon emissions from the transportation sector has far-reaching implications for supporting society-wide carbon neutrality. In this paper, we have developed for the first time a many-objective multimodal transportation route optimization (MTRO) model that simultaneously considers economic cost, carbon emission cost, time cost, and customer satisfaction, and solve it using the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm Version III (NSGAIII). Second, to further improve the convergence performance, we introduce a fuzzy decision variable framework to improve the NSGAIII algorithm. This framework can reduce the search range of optimization algorithm in the decision space and make it converge better. Finally, we conducted a large number of simulation experiments on test problems to verify the applicability and superiority of the improved algorithm, and applied it to MTRO problems under uncertain demand. This work fills the research gap for MTRO problems and provides guidance for relevant departments to develop transportation and decarbonization plans.

Kidney fibrosis is considered to be the ultimate aggregation pathway of chronic kidney disease (CKD), but its underlying mechanism remains elusive. Protein kinase C-delta (PKC-δ) plays critical roles in the control of growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. In this study, we found that PKC-δ was highly upregulated in human biopsy samples and mouse kidneys with fibrosis. Rottlerin, a PKC-δ inhibitor, alleviated unilateral ureteral ligation (UUO)-induced kidney fibrosis, inflammation, VDAC1 expression, and cGAS-STING signaling pathway activation. Adeno-associated virus 9 (AAV9)-mediated VDAC1 silencing or VBIT-12, a VDAC1 inhibitor, attenuated renal injury, inflammation, and activation of cGAS-STING signaling pathway in UUO mouse model. Genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of STING relieved renal fibrosis and inflammation in UUO mice. In vitro, hypoxia resulted in PKC-δ phosphorylation, VDAC1 oligomerization, and activation of cGAS-STING signaling pathway in HK-2 cells. Inhibition of PKC-δ, VDAC1 or STING alleviated hypoxia-induced fibrotic and inflammatory responses in HK-2 cells, respectively. Mechanistically, PKC-δ activation induced mitochondrial membrane VDAC1 oligomerization via direct binding VDAC1, followed by the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release into the cytoplasm, and subsequent activated cGAS-STING signaling pathway, which contributed to the inflammation leading to fibrosis. In conclusion, this study has indicated for the first time that PKC-δ is an important regulator in kidney fibrosis by promoting cGAS-STING signaling pathway which mediated by VDAC1. PKC-δ may be useful for treating renal fibrosis and subsequent CKD.

BBX transcription factors have a transcriptional regulatory role in response to light, circadian cues, and brassinosteroid-light crosstalk signaling. However, the functions of BBX in soybean resistance to seed deterioration have not been shown. In our previous study, a soybean gene GmSBH1 and a HSE cis-element of GmSBH1 promoter were found in response to high temperature and humidity (HTH) stress, respectively. GmCOL4 was a candidate protein, which bound to HSE cis-element. In the present study, GmCOL4 was isolated and characterized. Subcellular localization and transcriptional activation assays showed that GmCOL4 was a nuclear protein with transcriptional activation function. The BBOX2 domain was found to play an obvious role in transcriptional activation activity of GmCOL4. Furthermore, GmCOL4 interacted with GmZTL1 was confirmed in vivo and in vitro. GmCOL4 and GmZTL1 presented different expression patterns among diverse soybean tissues and were synergistically involved in response to HTH stress in developing seeds, respectively. Overexpression of GmCOL4 and GmZTL1 could alter tobacco phenotypes and enhance developing seed tolerance to seed deterioration under HTH stress, respectively. Based on these results, a regulation network was conjectured, GmCOL4 interacts with GmZTL1 to co-regulate the GmSBH1 via directly binding to the HSE cis-element, thereby enhancing the soybean resistance to seed deterioration under HTH stress and affecting leaf growth and development.
DANI: Fast Diffusion Aware Network Inference with Preserving Topological Structure Property

Published: May 2024

The fast growth of social networks and their data access limitations in recent years have led to increasing difficulty in obtaining the complete topology of these networks. However, diffusion information over these networks is available, and many algorithms have been proposed to infer the underlying networks using this information. The previously proposed algorithms only focus on inferring more links and ignore preserving the critical topological characteristics of the underlying social networks. In this paper, we propose a novel method called DANI to infer the underlying network while preserving its structural properties. It is based on the Markov transition matrix derived from time series cascades, as well as the node-node similarity that can be observed in the cascade behavior from a structural point of view. In addition, the presented method has linear time complexity (increases linearly with the number of nodes, number of cascades, and square of the average length of cascades), and its distributed version in the MapReduce framework is also scalable. We applied the proposed approach to both real and synthetic networks. The experimental results showed that DANI has higher accuracy and lower run time while maintaining structural properties, including modular structure, degree distribution, connected components, density, and clustering coefficients, than well-known network inference methods.
Probabilistic estimation of stop words from document-term matrix for topic analysis application.
Authors: Harada Nami , Kano Yutaka
Published: May 2024

In topic analysis, it is important to remove stop words to make inference about topics. Prior knowledge about the data is necessary to remove stop words. Stop words imply no contribution and interference of topic estimation. There is a suggestion of probabilistic inference of stop words. Probabilistic inference of stop words without prior knowledge about the data will assist in topic analysis application to unfamiliar languages and other various data fields.
