Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of large and medium-sized arteries underlying cardiovascular disease (CVD), such as myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular stroke and peripheral vascular disease, which is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. It is characterized by deposition of modified lipoproteins, accumulation of immune cells and formation of fibrous tissue in the vessel wall. The disease occurs in vessels throughout the body and affects the function of almost all organs, including the lymphatic system, bone marrow, heart, brain, pancreas, adipose tissue, liver, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract. Many clinical trials of anti-atherosclerotic drugs have not provided satisfactory results, and their use is associated with a significant residual risk of cardiovascular disease and various side effects.Probiotics have recently attracted considerable interest for their potential use to prevent atherosclerosis. This review will discuss the mechanisms of effect and impact of probiotics on atherosclerosis risk factors, as well as the potential use of probiotics in the prevention of atherosclerosis, based on a review of the available literature in the PubMed database from 2019 to 2023 using key words on studies related to this topic.

Institutional Management and Planning for Droughts: A Comparison of Ireland and Ontario, Canada
Authors: Jobbová Eva , McLeman Robert , Crampsie Arlene , Murphy Conor , Ludlow Francis , Hevesi Celina , Sente Laura , Horvath Csaba
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT: Severe drought conditions in 2018 prompted concerted efforts by Irish authorities to establish a formal planning process for drought risks as part of the wider national water management strategy. More than two decades had passed since Ireland had experienced a socioeconomically significant drought, but recently reconstructed long-term data have shown that drought is a much more frequent hazard here than previously thought. With climate change impacts likely to affect the temporal and spatial distribution of precipitation in coming decades, there is an ongoing need for further planning and preparation to reduce the vulnerability of the Irish water system to droughts. In this article we report results of a systematic comparison of Irish drought management plans and policies with those in southwestern Ontario, Canada, a region that shares many similar drought risk factors and management challenges but has longer established institutional practices for managing droughts. Key recommendations for Irish water managers emerging from this project include fostering a culture of water conservation among the Irish public; using catchments as the spatial unit for drought monitoring and management decisions; creation of standing drought management teams that involve and broaden key stakeholders and user groups; and further refining data collection to support planning for future challenges associated with climate change. Pursuing future opportunities for peer-to-peer learning between Irish water managers and their counterparts in other jurisdictions is a wider opportunity for developing best practices for drought management in the Irish context.
Bird-Catching as a Love Allegory: A Comparison of Greco-Roman and Early Modern English Literature
Authors: Green Ashleigh
Published: August 2023

Abstract: In the literature of early modern England, particularly Lyly, Shakespeare, and Spenser, love and sexual desire are commonly allegorised in terms of luring, trapping, and shooting birds. This paper investigates the classical origins of this symbolism, revealing how authors used Greek and Roman metaphors of love-as-fowling to inform their own works, with Cupid himself often imagined as a bird. It reconstructs technical and terminological aspects of fowling, arguing that we can only understand why bird-catching was used to express desire once we have answered fundamental questions of how, when, and by whom birds were traditionally caught.

Authors: Mirkhan Sawan M. , Omar Taha J.
Published: August 2023

Fungi are eukaryotic, heterogeneous, unicellular to filamentous, spore-bearing, and chemoorganotrophic organisms which lack chlorophyll. This present study was carried out to isolate and identify fungi from petroleum-contaminated soil. Several fungal genera which included Rhizopus spp., Mucor spp., Penicillium spp., Rhizoctonia spp., Aspergillus spp., Alternaria spp., and Cladosporiumspp. were isolated using potatoes dextrose agar, Czapek-Dox Agar, and Aspergillus flavus Differentiation Agar culture media that comparable with co-amoxiclav (1g) and chloramphenicol to prevent the growth of any bacteria. The direct plate and serial dilution agar plate methods were used for the isolation of fungi. Based on results, Aspergillusand Mucor spp. were the most predominant genera and had the highest number of colonies in the soil samples. In this investigation, seven out of 27 soil samples were morphologically (macroscopically and microscopically) identified, such as A. flavus. Aflatoxigenicity of A. flavus was detected using characteristics in Aspergillus differentiation agar and colony fluorescence on exposure to ultraviolet light. Moreover, molecular approaches were used for the detection of aflatoxigenic of the A. flavus isolates. Three structural (aflD, aflO, and aflP) and one regulatory (aflR) gene of the aflatoxin gene cluster of A. flavus were targeted for amplification by the polymerase chain reaction method. The aflatoxigenic of all six A. flavus isolates was detected molecularly which contained two structural (aflD, aflP)genes out of three structural genes, while there was no specific amplification of the aflO gene in the fourth, fifth, and sixth A. flavus which issimilar to the aflR gene in the first and second A. flavus.

Authors: Taqi Ali H. , Saber Fahema  A.
Published: August 2023

In this paper, energy-level schemes and reduced electric transition strengths of neutron-rich Tin isotopes 102, 110, 116, 120, 122Sn (Z=50) are studied using collective models, that is, particle-particle Tamm-Dancoff Approximation and particle-particle Random Phase Approximation. According to these models, the excited states of closed-core A+2 systems with multipolarity J and isospin T can be described as a linear combination of particle-particle pairs. In our investigation, the low-lying states of the investigated isotopes 102, 110, 116, 120, 122Sn are described by acting two-particle operators on a correlated core 100Sn, 108Sn, 114Sn, 118Sn, and 120Sn, respectively. The Hamiltonian is diagonalized within the model space include {1g7/2, 2d5/2, 2d3/2, 3s1/2 and 1h11/2} orbits, using the matrix elements of neutron-neutron interaction and modified surface delta interaction. The calculated values are checked by using the resultant eigenvalues and eigenvectors to calculate the excitation energies and reduced electric transition strengths. Our calculated results are compared to the available experimental data, and these comparisons led to reasonable agreements. Effective charges are also used to account for the core polarization effect.

Published: August 2023

Digital information, especially multimedia and its applications, has grown exponentially in recent years. It is important to strengthen sophisticated encryption algorithms due to the security needs of these innovative systems. The security of real-time audio applications is ensured in the present study through a framework for encryption. The design framework protects the confidentiality and integrity of voice communications by encrypting audio applications. A modern method of securing communication and protecting data is cryptography. Using cryptography is one of the most important techniques for protecting data and ensuring the security of messaging. The main purpose of this paper is to present a novel encryption scheme that can be used in real-time audio applications. We encrypt the sound using a combination of an infinite series of hyperbolic functions and the Laplace transform, and then decrypt it using the inverse Laplace transform. The modular arithmetic rules are used to generate the key for the coefficients acquired from the transformation. There is no loss of data or noise in the decryption sound. We also put several sound examples to the test

The objective this study is to explore the contributions of artisans, especially potters, smiths, and tanners, for historical and cultural identities of Wolaita people. The researchers used qualitative approach for data collection and analysis inline with study objectives. Observation, key informants interview, focus group discussions (FGD), and case study methods were used to collect field data and secondary data were collected from published and unpublished sources. The findings imply that artisans are producing the early hunting and gathering tools, agricultural and war implements, the earl local currency termed as Marccuwaa, cultural costumes, music, and musical implements and providing ceremonial services to the entire people of Wolaita. This confirms that artisans (potters, smiths, and tanners) play the pivotal roles for preservation and promotion of cultural and historical identities of Wolaita people. However, though the entire people are widely using artisan products as the part of their cultural and historical identities artisans were subjected to the existing marginalization and taking the lesser societal recognition.  Because of this, artisans were socially disrespected, economically disadvantaged, and historically disfavored in the context of Wolaita. Therefore, the issue needs strategic approach to create societal awareness about the contribution of artisans to Wolaita people in general otherwise it is difficult to improve the life conditions of artisan groups. Not only this but also it will put the sustenance of cultural and historical identities of Wolaita people under question.
