Published: January 2023

The disorganization of natural biorhythms in the modern world is mostly attributed to the violation of circadian rhythms due to light pollution. Urbanization is directly interconnected with an excess of artificial lighting. As a one-time phenomenon, light pollution leads to a reversible shift in circadian rhythms, but in the case of constant influence, it leads to the development of desynchronosis. It is known that light pollution contributes to the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, and metabolic disorders. The study aimed to investigate the changes in micro-morphometric parameters and ultrastructure of hepatocytes of Wistar rats under the influence of normal lighting and constant lighting exposure. This study was conducted on 120 outbred stock male Wistar rats at an age of 6 months, with a body weight of 350 g. The rats were divided into 2 equal groups. The control group included 60 rats, kept in standard laboratory conditions under a normal cyclical «light-dark» lighting regime (10:14, 10 hours of light – from 8:00 to 18:00, 14 hours of darkness – from 18:00 to 8:00) within 3 weeks. The experimental group included 60 rats kept in standard laboratory conditions under constant lighting within 3 weeks. To obtain the results, histological, micro morphometric methods and transmission electronic microscopy were used. The revealed changes of the hepatocytes under the influence of constant lighting indicate that a violation of the illumination regime is a potent factor causing damage and structural changes in the liver. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the liver's response to circadian rhythm disruption and associated damage is important to form patient-specific recommendations on lifestyle and behavioral regimens.

Published: January 2023

Purpose of the study. To assess the sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of the method for non-invasive differential diagnosis of liver diseases by polyhepatography.

Materials and methods. A random sampling method examined 45 primary patients. Polygepatography was performed on all patients to detect disorders of intrahepatic microcirculation during primary contacting. Based on the detected changes in intrahepatic hemodynamics and based on the morphofunctional hemodynamic model, a conclusion was made about the violation of intrahepatic blood flow and an assumption was made about the etiology and stage of liver disease. Subsequently, the diagnosis of liver diseases was verified after a detailed study of clinical-laboratory, instrumental and morphological data generally accepted in hepatology. Puncture liver biopsy by the Mancini method was performed in 11.1 % of the subjects.

Results. All subjects were divided into three groups based on the data obtained on impaired intrahepatic hemodynamics during polyhepatography (PHG). The group I consisted of patients with impaired venous inflow, the group II included patients with impaired arteriovenous inflow, and group III — with impaired venous outflow. The obtained polyhepatographic data were compared with the results of clinical-laboratory, instrumental and morphological data. The high sensitivity, sufficient specificity and accuracy of the polyhepatography method in the diagnosis of chronic liver diseases have been determined.

Conclusion. The studies carried out indicate that PHG is a simple, accessible and not burdensome examination method for the patient, which makes it possible to assess the localization of intrahepatic blood flow disorders, and, with a certain degree of probability, to assume the etiological factor of the disease and the stage of the disease. Given the specificity of changes in liver hemodynamics, de pending on the etiological factor and stage of the disease, assessment of intrahepatic hemodynamics by polyhepatography can be recommended as a screening method for examining patients with liver diseases, which will shorten the diagnostic search time.
Chitosan and its applications in oenology
Authors: Lárez Velásquez Cristóbal
Published: January 2023

This paper reviews the main applications of the biopolymer chitosan, the main derivative of chitin, a material usually obtained from natural sources accessible at low cost, i.e., industrial wastes from fisheries. Due to its natural origin, which confers biodegradability and biocompatibility properties, in addition to its low toxicity, chitosan has been gaining attention in numerous sectors, such as agriculture, food, medicine, pharmaceuticals, etc., including also important oenological applications due to its potential as a green alternative to the use of sulphite. Among the many applications that can be generated from these materials in the wine-making area, their use has been reported for the clarification of must; in the preparation of films for the removal of contaminants, whether organics such as ochratoxin A or inorganics such as some metal ions and their salts; the control of turbidity caused by protein precipitation; the encapsulation of yeasts of oenological interest and enzymes for the control of adverse microorganisms such as Brettanomyces; the manufacture of sensors and nanosensors for the quantification of contaminants, the quality control of starting materials and final products, the optimisation of fermentation processes, the monitoring of storage conditions, etc. As a result of this review, significant development of the applications of this material in the oenological area can be expected, especially due to the possibilities of preparing new derivatives, including the great variety of these that have been recently proposed through click reactions, as well as the growing incursion of chitosan in nanobiotechnology.

Authors: Kammara Rajagopal , Nellikka Anagha
Published: January 2023

The population of Bifidobacterium spp in faecal samples from breast-fed and formula-fed infants were investigated and developed antibiogram. The common bacterial growth media such as Man Rogos Sharpe (MRS), Brain Heart Infusion (BHI), Luria Bertani (LB) broth and Bifidobacteria agar were evaluated by the enumeration of Bifidobacterium spp. in faecal material. The results demonstrated that the population of Bifidobacterium spp. in the faecal samples of breast-fed infants is numerically high and, low in formula-fed infants. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA, (Xylose/Fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase) xfp, and RFLP map of Bifidobacteria isolates suggested a presence of possible new and different Bifidobacterium spp. The intensity of the reddish brown colour formed during the f6ppk (Fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase) assay confirms the presence of variable Bifidobacteria. The highest recovery and diversity of Bifidobacteria were obtained from Bifidobacteria agar media. Growth in various media resulted in the formation of small (SCV) and big colony variants (BCV). We understand that the various antibiotic minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values obtained by applying different media, growth conditions, after bile salt treatment, and at low pH can vary. This study concludes that the variation of microbiological conditions differentiating resistant and susceptible strains is influenced by the test conditions as well.
Role of Fly Ash in Concrete Construction Industry
Authors: Akhnoukh Amin
Published: January 2023

This paper discusses the use of fly ash in concrete construction industry. Fly ash is incorporated as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete in partial replacement of cement, and is recently used as a geopolymer cement in the development of geopolymer concrete (GPC) mixes. Class C and Class F fly ash high aluminosilicate content, and fine granular size contributes to concrete improved workability, lower permeability, and reduced heat of cement hydration. Due to its chemical properties, the use of fly ash in producing OPC and GPC results in increased compressive strength, higher tensile strength evaluated by measuring hardened concrete modulus of rupture (MOR), and higher modulus of elasticity (MOE). The fine size of fly ash particles increases the concrete mix packing order, and reduce the ingress of moisture, and mitigates the impact of aggressive environmental attacks through the reduction of sulfates and chlorides rate of concrete penetration. Thus, fly ash improves concrete resistivity to alkali-aggregate reactions (AAR), and reduces the corrosion of reinforcing steel, and prestressing strands. Fly ash as an economic byproduct of coal industry results in reduced material cost, increased durability, and a higher sustainability of concrete construction projects.

Published: January 2023

Представлена методика определения типов разрывов при численном решении различных задач газовой динамики. Актуальность темы определяется тем, что в сложных газодинамических постановках требуется корректное определение областей, занятых волнами разряжения, контактными разрывами и ударными волнами. От правильного определения таких областей зависит выбор той или иной схемы численного решения задачи. В настоящей работе представлена методика, которая позволяет единым образом определять границы областей, содержащих разрывы и волны различных типов. Для этого в терминах искомых газодинамических функций выведены неравенства, выделяющие такие области. Эта информация используется при модификации известных или при построении новых разностных схем с целью повышения их устойчивости и/или монотонности. Например, полученные неравенства позволяют выделять численные схемы, решения которых удовлетворяют требованию неубывания энтропии. Основное рассмотрение излагается в одномерном случае. Дается обобщение методики на многомерный случай. Приводятся примеры применения методики при решении ряда известных тестовых задач газовой динамики.

Published: January 2023

В рамках потенциальной теории несжимаемой жидкости в приближении мгновенной деформации дна построена двумерная ($0xz$) численная модель, позволяющая рассчитать начальное возвышение поверхности воды в очаге цунами в бассейне переменной глубины. Благодаря использованию $\sigma$-координаты модель позволяет учесть вклад горизонтальной компоненты деформации дна и «сглаживающий эффект» водного слоя. Для тестирования численной модели получено аналитическое решение задачи о начальном возвышении в бассейне с плоским наклонным дном при деформации дна треугольной формы. Результаты тестирования показывают, что при типичной для численных моделей цунами величине шага по пространству наблюдается хорошее соответствие между численным и аналитическим решением. С помощью построенной $\sigma$-модели рассчитаны начальные возвышения поверхности воды во время Курильского землетрясения 13.01.2007 и Великого восточно-японского землетрясения Тохоку 11.03.2011 (вдоль произвольно выбранных разрезов). Полученные результаты использованы для проверки приближенного метода расчета начального возвышения, известного под названием фильтр Каджиуры, в рамках которого глубина океана полагается постоянной во всей области очага цунами.

Objective. To determine the influence of social factors on the desire among adolescents from different countries to correct their appearance. Materials and methods. A survey of 1040 respondents (with an average age of 17 ± 1.0 years) was conducted. Of the respondents, 540 (51.9%) were high school students and 500 (48.1%) were medical university students. Of them, 566 (54.4%) were girls and 474 (45.6%) were boys. All respondents were divided into 2 groups: students from Russia (260 (52%)) and students from other countries (240 (48%)). Results. Every second teenager (50.9%) had complaints about appearance, and regardless of sex, the majority (56.3%) of them wanted to look like their idols. Media imposition of physical appearance standards caused respondents of both sexes to feel dissatisfied with their bodies (p = 0.08). Unsatisfactory evaluation of teenagers' appearance by relatives formed the desire for its correction, regardless of sex (p = 0.8). At the same time, the opinion of friends was more significant for girls than for boys (p = 0.04). Russian students were significantly more often dissatisfied with their body image compared to international students (p = 0.006). For them the negative assessment of their appearance by peers (p = 0.0001) and the inconsistency with the standards of physical attractiveness promoted by the media (p = 0.0000001) were of greater importance in the perception of their appearance. Conclusion. The most significant factors influencing the desire of adolescents to change their appearance were unsatisfactory evaluation by peers and inconsistency with the media’s standards of physical attractiveness.

The limited mineral content in cookies makes cookies must be added to an ingredient that can increase minerals, namely clam shells. The high content of calcium in clam shells can be used as an option in making cookies. This study aims to determine the chemical, physical and sensory properties of cookies added with different types of shellfish flour. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with treatment of 3 different types of clam shell flour, namely batik clam shell flour, blood clam shell flour, and green mussel shell flour. The test results showed that the control cookies were not significantly different from cookies with the addition of batik clam shell flour, cookies with the addition of blood clam shell flour, and cookies with the addition of green mussel shell flour. While cookies with the addition of batik clam shell flour were significantly different from cookies with the addition of blood clam shell flour and cookies with the addition of green mussel shell flour. The addition of clam shell flour had a significant effect on the ash content of cookies. The addition of clam shell flour causes the color of the cookies to be darker. Descriptive organoleptic testing of cookies with the addition of clam shell flour did not have a significant effect on control cookies. Hedonic organoleptic testing of cookies with the addition of clam shell flour did not have a significant effect on the color, taste, aroma, and texture of cookie.

Nowadays, several education approaches exist in this smart society 5.0 era, specifically in English language teaching. One of them is the integrative learning approach which means the process of making connections among concepts, experiences, and subjects. This study aimed to explore the integrative learning approach, challenges, and opportunities in Indonesian Islamic EFL classes. This study was held in a research class at Islamic Senior High School in Malang. This qualitative field research used observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation to collect primary data from five EFL students and one EFL teacher. The result shows that an integrative learning approach is needed; this class integrates both EFL and Islamic values because they must implement the values of Islam in their daily life. In addition, some of the challenges include difficulty translating from Arabic to English, pronunciation, and soon. On the other hand, this class also found that tajweed makes it easier to read English text by comparing maharijul huruf and its phonology. Also, mastering this integrative class makes it easier to find Islamic literature in the English language. Thus, this study significantly gave EFL teachers insights into implementing the integration between English language skills and Islamic teaching in the EFL classroom.

Persistent Criminalization and Structural Racism in US Drug Policy: The Case of Overdose Good Samaritan Laws
Authors: Pamplin John R. , Rouhani Saba , Davis Corey S. , King Carla , Townsend Tarlise N.
Published: January 2023

The US overdose crisis continues to worsen and is disproportionately harming Black and Hispanic/Latino people. Although the “War on Drugs” continues to shape drug policy—at the disproportionate expense of Black and Hispanic/Latino people—states have taken some steps to reduce War on Drugs–related harms and adopt a public health–centered approach. However, the rhetoric regarding these changes has, in many cases, outstripped reality.

Using overdose Good Samaritan Laws (GSLs) as a case study, we argue that public health–oriented policy changes made in some states are undercut by the broader enduring environment of a structurally racist drug criminalization agenda that continues to permeate and constrict most attempts at change.

Drawing from our collective experiences in public health research and practice, we describe 3 key barriers to GSL effectiveness: the narrow parameters within which they apply, the fact that they are subject to police discretion, and the passage of competing laws that further criminalize people who use illicit drugs. All reveal a persisting climate of drug criminalization that may reduce policy effectiveness and explain why current reforms may be destined for failure and further disadvantage Black and Hispanic/Latino people who use drugs.

Historic Redlining Practices and Contemporary Determinants of Health in the Detroit Metropolitan Area
Authors: Mehdipanah Roshanak , McVay Katelyn R. , Schulz Amy J.
Published: January 2023

Objectives. To examine how redlining, a historical racially discriminatory housing policy implemented by the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC), is associated with current neighborhood determinants of health in the Detroit Metropolitan Area.

Methods. We analyzed associations between census tract‒level HOLC color grades (red = “hazardous”; yellow = “declining”; blue = “desirable”; and green = “best”) and a developed neighborhood determinants of health index (DOHI) consisting of 8 indicators of economic, social, governance, and physical environment characteristics using spatial regression analysis and controlling for change in the census tract’s percentage of White residents.

Results. A total of 484 Detroit Metropolitan Area census tracts had HOLC grades. The mean redlining score across all census tracts was 3.02 (min = 1.0; max = 4.0). The mean contemporary DOHI was 19.11 (min = 8.0; max = 36.0). Regression models show significantly higher DOHI scores in yellowlined (b = 2.71; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.52, 3.91), bluelined (b = 5.33; 95% CI = 3.65, 7.01), and greenlined (b = 9.25; 95% CI = 6.86, 11.64) neighborhoods compared with redlined neighborhoods.

Conclusions. Historical redlined neighborhoods experience contemporary determinants of health conditions that are less conducive to health compared with those in nonredlined neighborhoods. These differences also reflect the accumulation of resources essential for health in greenlined neighborhoods.

Public Health Implications. Neighborhood development initiatives should consider the impacts of historical redlining on contemporary neighborhood conditions. (Am J Public Health. 2023;113(S1): S49–S57. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.307162 )
Restorative Justice in the New Criminal Code in Indonesia: A Prophetic Legal Study
Authors: Flora Henny Saida
Published: January 2023

The existence of Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code (UU KUHP) as the new Criminal Code (KUHP) in Indonesia seeks to apply the legal ideals of Restorative justice is one of the concepts substantively constructed in the newly ratified Criminal Code. This study aims to analyze the existence and implications of restorative justice after ratifying the Draft Criminal Code (RKHUP) as a law. This research is normative legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches. The results of the study confirm that the existence of the concept of restorative justice from a prophetic law perspective fulfills the three fundamental values of prophetic law, namely: divinity, humanity, and justice. So, that the application of restorative justice in a prophetic law perspective strengthens the substance of the legal state of Indonesia as a nation-state based on the Godhead. Almighty. The implications of restorative justice after the ratification of the RKUHP became the Criminal Code Law in the perspective of prophetic law; that is, the substance of restorative justice has been facilitated in the Criminal Code Law and is spread across various articles. One of the affirmations in the Criminal Code Law is that punishment must not demean human dignity, which means protecting human dignity is God's commandment and a person who ignores the dignity of fellow human beings is a person who transgresses limits. Thus, who can conclude that the substance of restorative justice facilitated in the Criminal Code Act is relevant to prophetic law.

Published: January 2023

Pesantren is an Islamic educational institution with advantages in terms of its scientific tradition and the transmission and intensity of Muslims. The swift current of globalization has threatened the existence of Islamic boarding schools. The idea of ​​modernization emerged within the pesantren environment to answer the challenges of social transformation needs. However, many people are worried about the idea of ​​modernizing pesantren, which is oriented to the present. It can affect the identity and primary function of pesantren. This research focuses on the Problems and Efforts to Reform Institutional, Curriculum, and Islamic Boarding School Methodologies from Azyumardi Azra's Perspective. The purpose of this study is to find out the Problems and Efforts to Reform Institutional, Curriculum, Islamic Boarding School Methodology from Azyumardi Azra's perspective. The result of this research is that the modernization of pesantren in institutions such as agriculture, fisheries, or public schools within the pesantren environment has led to a decline in the identity of pesantren as educational institutions for Tafaqquh fi Al-Din and producing ulama'. The idea of ​​orienting pesantren to the "current" curriculum needs to be revisited because this idea may hurt the existence of the main tasks of the pesantren. Islamic boarding schools should be oriented towards improving the quality of their students towards the mastery of Islamic religious sciences. The use of strict and rigid methodologies in the curriculum system that prioritizes cognitive knowledge alone, according to it, can result in the process of forming the character and personality of students being neglected. So the pesantren must maintain its methodology, namely towards the learning process, taklim, and takdib so that pesantren can shape santri to become pious Muslims.

A Study on Factors for Impulsiveness of damaging Electronic Tagging: Focusing on the theory of deterrence and resistance
Authors:   Korean Association of Public Safety and Criminal Justice, Lee Jooyoung , Cho Younoh
Published: January 2023

Recently, the Electronic Monitoring has been expanded and applied as a way to increase the efficiency of correctional administration. Therefore, in order to operate the system more stably and effectively, based on the theory of deterrence and resistance among criminology theories, we would like to explore what factors affect the impulse to damage the Electronic Tagging. This study analyzed statistical data from the “Survey on the Operation of the Electronic Monitoring System of Sexual Offenders, 2013” conducted by the Korean Institute of Criminology and Justice. As a result of analysis, the statistically significant results are as follows. Low awareness of “certainty of punishment” based on the theory of deterrence increased the impulse to damage the Electronic Tagging. In addition, the more 'stigmatized perception of punishment' based on the theory of resistance, the more impulse to damage the Electronic Tagging. And the more 'recognition of shame', the more the impulse to damage the Electronic Tagging increased. Through these research results, it can be confirmed that measures to emphasize 'certainty of punishment' and induce a criminal's responsibility and attitude of reflection should be combined rather than simply strengthening the sentence.
A Study on the Establishment of Performance Evaluation Guidelines for Local Police
Authors:   Korean Association of Public Safety and Criminal Justice, Park Oi Byung
Published: January 2023

With the introduction of the local police system, it is divided into national police affairs and local police affairs, raising the need to revise the previously implemented national police performance evaluation system to suit the circumstances of each region. Accordingly, the municipal police committees stipulate the evaluation of autonomous police affairs as their jurisdiction, but there are still no specific guidelines for evaluating the performance of autonomous police. Therefore, this study aims to establish guidelines for the performance evaluation of autonomous police by the municipal police committees. Accordingly, three out of six performance indicators have significantly improved the current indicators, two quantitative performance indicators have been maintained, and new traffic indicators have been developed so that the municipal police committees can actually play a role in evaluating the performance of the autonomous police. In addition, it proposes a performance evaluation system to motivate evaluators to pay attention and passion by proposing various incentives such as special pledges for excellent performance, on-site inspections of overseas autonomous police, individual commendations, group commendations, and prize money. As a result, the qualitative performance indicators proposed in this study are expected to increase local residents' trust in local police by autonomously preparing plans for local police affairs, continuously executing them regardless of personnel changes or accidents, and raising appropriate policing performance.

Background With this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of coordination-based movement education model on the development of balance in five-year-old children.
Methods The research was designed with a control group pretest-posttest design, which is one of the quasi-experimental research models. The research group consists of a total of 42 (n=20 experimental n=22 control) five-year-old children formed by using the convenient sampling method, which is one of the purposeful sampling methods. Each participant’s age, body weight, body length and lower extremity limb lengths were measured. As a data collection tool and used the three-part Y Balance Test (YBT) platform, which was previously stated to have high reliability (ICC=0.85-0.93). Reach distances of the participants were measured in 3 directions, anterior posteromedial and posterolateral. YBT scores were determined by calculating the average and normalized values for lower extremity limb length for each reach direction of the obtained scores, and composite YBT scores were determined by taking the averages of anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral reach distance scores. In order to determine whether the collected data are suitable for normal distribution, Levene test was applied first and it was determined that p>0,05 for all parameters as a result of the test. Independent sample T test from parametric tests was used to determine the differences between groups. Paired-group T-test was used to determine within-group differences.
Results According to the results of the research, it was found that the balance motor capacity levels between the experimental and control groups did not differ significantly compared to the pre-test, but there was a significant difference in all reach directions scores in favor of the post-test and experimental group compared to the control group and the pre-test.
Conclusion As a result, it was concluded that coordination-based movement education model had a positive effect on the balance motor capacities of five-year-old children.

Background
Emergency Department (ED) crowding is a common healthcare issue. The causes are multifactorial, and some causes may be found by analyzing patient trajectories prior to ED visits. The aim of this scoping review is to identify and examine studies that describe patient trajectories prior to ED arrival.
Methods
The scoping review was performed according to the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis and the PRISMA-SCR checklist. A literature search was done to identify studies describing where patients come from and/or their pathway of care before the ED visits. The search was conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from inception up to March 17th, 2022 and updated on December 5th, 2022. Two reviewers independently screened the records at all stages of the review process.
Results
Out of 6,465 records screened, 14 papers from Australia, Canada, Haiti, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Indonesia and the UK met the inclusion criteria. Four studies reported on where patients originated from. Seven studies reported on who referred them. Ten reported how patients were transported and five reported if alternative care or advice was sought prior to visiting an ED. Data were sparse for these categories of information; not all studies reported the full spectrum of patients within each category.
Conclusion
There are knowledge gaps when it comes to describing patients’ pathways to the emergency department. The data reported provided limited insight, and the lack of uniform data prohibits comparisons across studies. Further studies that comprehensively describe patient trajectories prior to an ED visit are paramount to help understand the reasons for the increased patient influx and ED crowding.

Emitting light towards on-demand directions is important for various optoelectronic applications, such as optical communication, displaying, and ranging. However, almost all existing directional emitters are assemblies of passive optical antennae and external light sources, which are usually bulky, fragile, and with unendurable loss of light power. Here we theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate a new conceptual design of directional emitter, by using a single surface-emitting laser source itself to achieve dynamically controlled beam steering. The laser is built on photonic crystals that operates near the band edges in the continuum. By shrinking laser sizes into tens-of-wavelength, the optical modes quantize in three-dimensional momentum space, and each of them directionally radiates towards the far-field. Further utilizing the luminescence spectrum shifting effect under current injection, we consecutively select a sequence of modes into lasing action and show the laser maintaining in single mode operation with linewidths at a minimum of 1.8 MHz and emitting power of ~ten milliwatts, and we demonstrate fast beam steering across a range of 3.2°× 4° in a time scale of 500 nanoseconds. Our work proposes a novel method for on-chip active beam steering, which could pave the way for the development of automotive, industrial, and robotic applications.

Gastric cancer is highly prevalent in Iran (approximately 26.1 cases per 100,000). However, the worldwide incidence of this cancer is dramatically declining. Late diagnosis is one of the leading factors that contribute to the high mortality rate of gastric cancer in Iran. Therefore, discovering non-invasive biomarkers for early detection and treatment of gastric cancer is eminently required. Here we aimed to evaluate the changes of BTG1 and pepsinogen one (PG1) in the serum and tissues of patients with gastric atrophy and gastric cancer. Patients were referred to the special clinic of Dezful University of Medical Sciences, and healthy individuals participated from 2016-to 2020. BTG1 and PG1 gene expression was measured in 30 gastric cancer tissue samples, 30 atrophic gastritis samples, and 30 healthy tissue samples using qRT-PCR. ELISA was used to assess the serum levels of PG1 protein in serum. After performing the data distribution test, the Mann-Whitney U test and independent T-test were used to compare the groups. The qRT-CR results showed that the expression of BTG1 and PG1 genes in gastric cancer and atrophic gastritis tissue was significantly lower than in healthy tissue. Moreover, compared to cancer patients, serum PG1 levels of healthy individuals were considerably higher. There is also a significant difference in the expression of these genes in gastric and atrophic gastric cancer tissue and serum levels. In light of these observations, BTG1 and PG1 seem to be qualified as therapeutic and diagnostic targets for gastric cancer.
WITHDRAWN: Design, Modelling and Performance Evaluation of Compressive sensing integrated DTCWT OFDM for mm-wave Wireless Network-On-Chip

Published: January 2023

Scaling technology and shrinking transistor size have enabled the integration of multicore modules on a single chip for high-performance computing. Wireless Network-On-Chip (WNOCs) has been demonstrated to be a viable choice for on-chip communication compared with wired communication, considering latency, energy, and data rate as performance metrics. Limitations in on-off keying (OOK) modulation schemes have been addressed using OFDM modulation methods. In this paper, a new method based on the compressed sensing integrated dual tree complex wavelet transform (CS-DTCWT) is presented for OFDM modulation and demodulation operating in the mm-wave band. The CS-DTCWT-based OFDM model is developed in MATLAB and evaluated for its performance in the mm-wave operating frequency band of 20 GHz to 60 GHz and for subcarriers of 128 to 1024. The BER performances of CS-DTCWT-based OFDM are demonstrated to be an improvement of 80% compared to FFT-based OFDM techniques. In addition, it can save 3.11% more energy than existing works. The proposed OFDM model is suitable for wireless NOC applications.
