Authors: Sikorski Michal , van Dongen Noah N'Djaye Nikolai , Bernard Rene , Curci Antonietta , Marusic Ana , Stanford s. Clare , Stewart Andrew , Richter Helene , Weissgerber Tracey Lynn
Published: December 2024

Objectivity is widely regarded as crucial for scientific practice, yet it remains poorly understood in scientific methodology and, as a result, has limited impact on research practices. Building on recent developments in the philosophy of science, we have created a new methodological tool, an easy to use checklist, for assessing the objectivity of scientific practice reported in academic publications or grant proposals. Developed through an expert-consensus study, this checklist can be used both to retrospectively evaluate objectivity of completed research and to prospectively guide the design of future experiments.
ChatGPT Decreases Idea Diversity in Brainstorming
Authors: Nave Gideon , Meincke Lennart , Terwiesch Christian
Published: December 2024

Lee and Chung explore how ChatGPT augments human creativity in brainstorming. In a series of experiments, they randomized participants to complete a range of creative challenges, either with or without the help of ChatGPT. These challenges included tasks such as coming up with gift ideas, designing toys from various everyday objects, and repurposing household items. Each participant submitted one idea, which external evaluators rated on multiple creativity dimensions, including innovativeness and usefulness. Across tasks, instructing participants to use ChatGPT enhanced the average creativity of ideas, outperforming web searches and unaided human intuition, with creativity measured as the average of aggregated scores of originality (original, innovative, creative) and appropriateness (practical, effective, useful). These results strengthen the empirical evidence for the effectiveness of LLMs in idea generation, contributing to a rapidly growing literature. However, as we further demonstrate analytically, reliance on ChatGPT for idea generation comes with a significant tradeoff: while enhancing individual ideas' creativity, it reduces the diversity of ideas in a pool of ideas—a critical element for effective brainstorming.

Authors: Kshetree Arun Kumar
Published: December 2024

This paper is a part of a research conducted with the support of 'Faculty Research Grant' from the University Grants Commission, Nepal. Different forms of shadow education used by students of high school level were studied and analysed by asking the teachers teaching in high schools and the students studying bachelor level in different universities of Nepal about their school level experiences regarding shadow education activities and the impact of shadow education in their scores. Shadow education is also called private tutoring but it covers many other ways of getting support in studies. It has been very common in Nepal and everywhere in the world since formal education started. It was a survey study based on the information gathered from the students of different faculties at the bachelor level. The research tools used included a questionnaire for the students and a set of interview guidelines for FGD and interviewing the teachers teaching in high schools of three major cities of Nepal; Butwal, Pokhara and Kathmandu. After the analysis of the information gathered, it was found that the trends of getting shadow education and related activities was drastically changed not just in the form but also in the purpose of getting shadow education. The students were found to be using different forms of shadowing in education in Nepal and the trend of shadowing has also been changing with the development and incorporation of ICTs in education and online applications. The paper also presents that the changing trends in shadowing activities have also changed the lifestyles of the teachers as well.

Osteoporosis occupies a leading position in terms of prevalence among non-communicable diseases worldwide. An important task is timely and accurate diagnosis and monitoring of the state of bone mineral density. The gold standard is considered X-ray absorptiometry and dual- energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). With the advent of newpromisingmethods, the issueofcomparability of the results of thesestudiesbecomesrelevant.
Aim. To evaluate the comparability of the main indicators of bone mineral density in patients with diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis according results of X-ray absorptiometry and dual- energy X-ray absorptiometry and bone densitometry by radiofrequency echographic multti-spectrometry (REMS).
Design. A pilotstudy.
Materials and methods. 21 women were randomly assigned to the study. The patients were divided into two groups: those who received and those who did not receive antiresorptive therapy. The results of measuring bone mineral density were compared between REMS and DEXA indicators.
Results. According to research data, the REMS technique has a high accuracy in identifying patients with osteoporosis, with sensitivity and specificity of more than 90% and diagnostic consistency of about 86% for both reference anatomical sites — the lumbar spine and femoral neck. This is consistent with the results of a pilot study conducted in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis.
Conclusion. The REMS technique, like the DEXA, has shown high accuracy in identifying patients with osteoporosis. This is extremely important for the early detection of mineral metabolism disorders in patients, timely and adequate therapy aimed not only at increasing bone mineral density, but also at preventing fractures, which will preserve the quality of life of patients.

Editorial

Published: December 2024

We write this editorial in June 2024, in the middle of an intense period of exam marking at Cambridge—and a moment of soul-searching for universities. In recent months, educational institutions across the world have scrambled to respond to the new challenges posed by ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence tools. At the heart of these efforts is an age-old dilemma: how do we know this is really the student's work? How do we know they aren't just faking it? But such initial attempts to suppress exam fraud open up further questions: do timed, closed-book exams genuinely reflect what students have learned, or are they a poor proxy for the real thing? Are there better ways of engaging with artificial intelligence than simply demonising it as a fake essay mill? What are the potential knock-on effects of emerging measures to mitigate exam fraud?
‘They Will Not Police Us’
Authors: Goodman Zoë
Published: December 2024

Rumours about fake or harmful vaccines came sharply into view during the COVID-19 pandemic. Such rumours are widely dismissed as misinformation. Based on ethnographic research in Mombasa, Kenya, I argue vaccine rumours are better understood as sources of information, which emerge from and express discontent about discriminatory patterns of policing in the name of health. Through vaccine rumours that, in Mombasa, took the form of claims about fake vaccines, urban residents expressed contempt for the over-policing they are subjected to as Muslims and as Africans, and frustration with the under-policing of capital and corporations. Claims about fake vaccines mobilised a new, often fantastic, discursive mode that reveals the highly unequal nature of health policing and regulation.

Curcumin-Cobalt Complex: Theoretical, Software-Oriented Safety, and Pharmacokinetics Investigations
Authors: Khan Khan Ziya , Khatri Ravi
Published: December 2024

Aim: To synthesize and evaluate a novel curcumin-cobalt complex to enhance curcumin’s stability, solubility, and pharmacokinetics, thereby overcoming its limitations in clinical applications. Methodology: The curcumin-cobalt complex was synthesized and subjected to theoretical investigations using molecular docking and density functional theory (DFT) to analyze binding interactions and electronic properties. In silico ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) analysis was conducted using various software tools to assess the complex’s pharmacokinetic profile and safety. Results: The curcumin-cobalt complex demonstrated improved stability and solubility compared to curcumin alone. Molecular docking and DFT studies revealed strong binding interactions and favorable electronic properties. In silico ADMET analysis indicated enhanced pharmacokinetic parameters, including better absorption and distribution, along with low toxicity potential. These findings suggest the complex as a promising candidate for therapeutic use with reduced metabolic limitations. Conclusion: The curcumin-cobalt complex successfully addresses curcumin’s bioavailability and stability issues, offering enhanced pharmacokinetic properties and a favorable safety profile. This research highlights the potential of metal complexation to optimize curcumin’s therapeutic efficacy. Future in vivo studies are necessary to validate these results and explore the complex’s potential in managing chronic diseases, expanding curcumin’s therapeutic applications.
Impact of phosphate-solubilizing and nitrogen-fixing bacteria on growth and yield of upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) fields
Authors: SUHERMAN CUCU , SAGALA MELYN THERESIA DEBORA , ROSNIAWATY SANTI , AMIEN SUSENO
Published: December 2024

Oil palm is typically planted in wider spacing (9×9m), creating gaps that can facilitate weed growth but also provide opportunities for intercrops like upland rice. Inceptisols, commonly used for oil palm cultivation, often have low yield potential due to limited phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) content and acidic soil pH. This limitation can be addressed by applying a biofertilizer mixture of Phosphate-Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) and Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria (NFB), which can enhance upland rice's growth and yield. This study investigates the impact of various doses of a PSB and NFB mixture on the growth and yield of upland rice grown alongside oil palm. Conducted from January to May 2024 at the Ciparanje Experimental Garden, Faculty of Agriculture, Padjadjaran University. The research utilized a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with six different treatment levels and four replications. The treatments involved applying different quantities of Pseudomonas sp. and Azotobacter sp. combined with carrier compost to the upland rice plants. The doses tested were 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 kg/ha. The results showed that the application of a mixture of PSB and NFB at a dose of 40 kg/ha was able to increase 33.48% of plant height, 38.14% of the number of leaves, 30% of the stomatal conductance index, and 32.91% of the number of grains per panicle of upland rice plants compared to without the application of a mixture of PSB and NFB. Meanwhile, intercropping upland rice on oil palm land did not affect the growth of oil palm plants.

Published: December 2024

New data on phase states and structural phase transitions in alloys Fe73Ga27 alloys doped with Dy, Er, Tb, and Yb in an amount of ~0.5 at% are presented. Structural data were obtained in neutron diffraction experiments performed with high resolution and in continuous temperature scanning mode during heating to 850°C and subsequent cooling at a rate of ±2°C/min. It has been established that both the sequence of forming and disappearing structural phases and the final state of the alloy depend on the type of rare earth element. Phase transitions in the alloy with Dy are similar to those in the initial Fe73Ga27 alloy, excluding the final state. The procedure of doping with Er and Tb leads to the formation of disordered A1 and A3 phases instead of the L12 and D019 ordered close packed phases, respectively. In the case of doping with Yb, neither of the above phases is observed. The formation of the L60 (m-D03) and D022 tetragonal structural phases previously discovered in similar alloys by the electron diffraction method is not confirmed.

Published: December 2024

In connection with the requirements of International and national organizations to comply with the principles of humanization of experiments using animals, alternative test systems are being searched and tested to replace animals in ecological, toxicological and genotoxicological studies. One such alternative may be the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, which has a biotransformation system of chemical compounds similar to the mammalian system. The genotoxicity of the pesticides paraquat and the antibacterial agent furacilin was studied on C. elegans by horizontal gel electrophoresis of total DNA in order to assess its integrity. It has been shown that paraquat in concentrations of 0.01 to 0.05 mol/l and furacilin f in concentrations of 0.0001 and 0.00025 mol/l, caused DNA breaks in nematode cells. The antioxidant N-acetylcysteine at a concentration of 0.01 mol/l reduced the genotoxicity of both compounds.

In mammals, cartilage tissue has a low potential for regeneration. Typically, the defect site is replaced by connective tissue. The Acomys cahirinus mouse is a relatively new model for studying tissue regeneration processes, specifically the elastic cartilage of the auricle. To investigate the molecular genetic mechanisms responsible for these processes and gain insight into the cellular and tissue composition of the intact auricle, we utilized the method of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). This method enables quantification of gene expression in the sample and modeling of cell clustering based on expression profiles. This allows for assessment of sample heterogeneity in terms of specific cell populations. Annotation of cell types, particularly in non-model organisms, should be supported by classical morphological studies to allow for more detailed identification of cell populations. This is necessary to separate clusters of cells that are grouped statistically based on similar expression profiles of a group of genes into smaller subpopulations. The objective of this study was to annotate all cell types present in the intact Acomys cahirinus auricle using a combination of transcriptomic approaches and classical histology methods. The study resulted in the annotation of 24 cell clusters based on known marker genes and by comparing genetic and morphological data.
Novel ToxA Insertion Element in Pyrenophora tritici-repentis
Authors: Mironenko N. V. , Orina A. S. , Kovalenko N. M.
Published: December 2024

Pyrenophora tritici-repentis is the causative agent of tan spot in wheat. Among the necrotrophic effectors produced by the fungus, the most studied is the necrosis-inducing protein toxin Ptr ToxA, encoded by the ToxA gene. Previously, we identified 10 strains of P. tritici-repentis from Kazakhstan and Russia, the amplified fragment of which with ToxA-specific primers turned out to be larger than expected. Sequencing of these fragments of three P. tritici-repentis strains revealed the presence of a 170 bp insertion element PtrHp2 located in exon 2 of the ToxA gene. The PtrHp2 sequence includes three pairs of mutually complementary regions of 16, 8 and 6 bp in length, forming a hairpin-type secondary structure. The inability of P. tritici-repentis strains possessing PtrHp2 in the ToxA gene to cause necrosis on the leaves of cv. Glenlea, which differentiates the presence of Ptr ToxA in the pathogen has been established. This fact indicates a violation of the expression of the mutant ToxA gene. However, the mutant ToxA gene with PtrHp2 is retained in 45% of the fungal mitotic progeny. The fragments homologous to the PtrHp2 are found in non-coding parts of ToxB gene and its homologues in P. tritici-repentis strains, as well as in the genomes of other fungi. This observation indicates the transposon nature of PtrHp2.
Polymorphisms in the transit peptide of phytoene synthase ZmPSY1 link to the white color of grain endosperm in maize inbred lines

Published: December 2024

The yellow and orange color of Zea mays L. grain is determined by the presence of carotenoids, the first enzyme of the biosynthesis pathway of which is phytoene synthase PSY. In this study, we analyzed allelic variants of the ZmPSY1 gene in accessions of yellow-grain and white-grain maize inbred lines of domestic selection. In four lines with different grain colors, full-length ZmPSY1 cDNAs were amplified and sequenced, and their variability was characterized. In the cDNA sequence of ZmPSY1 from white-grain lines, nonsynonymous SNPs were found that lead to substitutions of four amino acid residues (L47I, W52S, E53D and A54V) in the N-terminal transit peptide responsible for the plastid localization of the enzyme. A primer system has been developed for PCR identification of the ZmPSY1 allele type in maize accessions. Testing of primers on 44 maize lines showed the presence of the wild-type ZmPSY1 allele and the absence of the mutant allele in the genome of all 22 yellow-grain lines analyzed. The mutant ZmPSY1 allele was detected in the genome of 41% of the 22 tested white-grain lines. The use of the developed primer system may be promising in the selection of corn with altered carotenoid content in the grain endosperm.

The Effect of Medically Tailored Meal Program Length on Malnutrition Risk
Authors: Bartholomew Kaitlyn Ann , Henstenburg Jule Anne , Crafford Adrian Glass
Published: December 2024

Introduction: The Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance (MANNA) provides medically tailored meals (MTMs) to individuals in the Philadelphia area with nutritional risk and chronic illness (cancers, renal disease, heart disease, diabetes, HIV/AIDS). Registered dietitians prescribe 3 or 6 months of MTMs depending on risk severity. This study investigates the impact of MTM prescription length on malnutrition risk.

Methods: Demographic, health, and program enrollment data for clients who received ≥2 months of MTMs and completed the intake and follow-up Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) from 2020-2022 were extracted from client records and entered in REDCap. Paired t-tests and chi-square tests were used to assess change in MST scores within the 3-month and 6-month prescription groups and the difference in change between groups.

Results: The 3-month prescription group (n=387; 41%) and 6-month prescription group (n=554; 59%) were similar in sociodemographic variables. The 6-month group had higher prevalence of cancer and malnutrition risk at intake. There was significant decrease in MST scores in both the 3-month (p<.001) and 6-month (p<.001) groups. A greater proportion of clients experienced a decrease in malnutrition risk in the 6-month group (51%) compared to the 3-month group (42%)(p=.019).

Conclusion: Malnutrition risk and cancer were more prevalent in the 6-month prescription group reflecting MANNA’s program criteria. While malnutrition risk dropped significantly in both 3- and 6-month groups, there was a greater reduction observed in the 6-month group, indicating that increasing the length of services may be associated with greater risk reduction.

Resonant Inductive Coupling Power Transfer for Mid-Sized Inspection Robot
Authors: Hassan Mohd Norhakim Bin , Watson Simon , Zhang Cheng
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a wireless power transfer (WPT) for a mid-sized inspection mobile robot. The objective is to transmit 100 W of power over 1 meter of distance, achieved through lightweight Litz wire coils weighing 320 g held together with a coil structure of 3.54 kg. The Wireless Power Transfer System (WPTS) is mounted onto an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). The study addresses an investigation of coil design, accounting for misalignment and tolerance issues in resonance-coupled coils. In experimental validation, the system effectively transmits 109.7 W of power over a 1-meter distance, with obstacles present. This achievement yields a system efficiency of 47.14%, a value that is remarkably close to the maximum power transfer point (50%) when the WPTS utilises the full voltage allowance of the capacitor. The paper shows the WPTS charging speed of 5 minutes for 12 V, 0.8 Ah lead acid batteries.
D. I. Mendeleev on the unity of measures, weights and money: an analysis from the point of view of modern metrology
Authors: Krutikov V. N. , Okrepilov V. V.
Published: December 2024

The article analyzes the validity of D. I. Mendeleyev's statement made in 1867 about the need to maintain the unity of measures, weights and money to ensure fair trade and rapprochement between nations. It is shown that under the conditions of the monetary system and the “gold standard” monetary system, it was the observance of the unity of measures, weights and money that allowed states to sovereignly establish and maintain a stable value of their money for a sufficiently long time. This, in turn, ensured confidence in the stable value of money, equality of trading parties, and fair trade in states that supported the unity of measures, weights and money. The global financial and market system created in the 21st century abandoned the observance of the metrological principles of the unity of measures, weights and money, replacing the stable “material” value of national money with its market price. The negative consequences of this step became apparent quite quickly. The value of national currencies ceased to be stable, the international market became unequal. It is shown that in the conditions of the modern global financial and market system, fair international trade is impossible in principle. The article proposes and substantiates the need to return to the unity of measures, weights and money, which allows ensuring the stability of means of payment, equality of trading parties.

It was noted that the detection time of West Nile virus protein E by standard methods – immunoenzyme assay for West Nile virus antigen, antibody seroconversion, polymerase chain reaction with reverse transcription, virus isolation and neutralization assay, is at least one hour. West Nile virus (genus Flavivirus) belongs to the Japanese encephalitis antigenic complex of the family Flaviviridae and is capable of causing West Nile fever or severe West Nile disease. To increase the detection rate of recombinant protein E of West Nile virus, an express detection method using the developed promising biosensor-based analytical device was proposed. The biosensor is based on a field-effect transistor fabricated by optical lithography using silicon-on-insulator technology. The biosensor design was modernized – the topology of the crystal was changed (one ground electrode was formed in the center, around which 20 field-effect transistors are located), and the crystal surface was additionally covered with a hafnium oxide layer to stabilize the electrical characteristics. Protein detection by means of the biosensor is based on the measurement of current amplitude in the source-to-source circuit of the biosensor with monoclonal antibodies immobilized on the surface of its gate in response to the appearance of the antigen – recombinant protein E of West Nile virus – in the analyzed sample. It was experimentally established that the biosensor is capable of detecting protein concentration of 10 pg/μl. It is necessary to continue further studies to determine the error of measured concentrations and statistical reliability of the results obtained by the biosensor.
