Published: August 2024

In this study we aimed to study the protective effect of RuXian-1, which is a traditional Mongolian medicine on hyperplasia of mammary glands in rats and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods: The rat model of breast hyperplasia was induced by intramuscular injection of estradiol benzoate. The rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: saline treatment group (negative control), estrogen treatment group (model group), RuXian-1 treatment group and raloxifene treatment group (positive control). RuXian-1 group and raloxifene group were given 3.0 g/kg of RuXian-1 and 1.8 mg/kg of raloxifene daily for 4 weeks, respectively. After treatment, the breast tissue of each group was harvested and confirmed the expressions levels of glucose-related protein 78 (GRP78), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), and protein kinase R (PKR)-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) which were known that functions as an endoplasmic reticulum stress marker by Western blotting. Results: Compared with the normal group, the GRP78, PERK and CHOP protein levels in the breast tissue of the model group were significantly decreased. Compared with the model group, the expression of GRP78, PERK and CHOP in RuXian-1 group significantly increased, the expression of GRP78 and CHOP of raloxifene significantly increased (p < 0.05), and the expression of PERK did not change. Conclusion: The Mongolian medicine RuXian-1 has therapeutic effect on mammary hyperplasia in rats, and its therapeutic mechanism is related to activating the GRP78/PERK/CHOP signaling pathway and promoting mammary gland cell apoptosis.
Influence of the Electrical Test Setup on the Voltage Gain Measurement of an Unloaded Rosen-Type Piezoelectric Transformer Vibrating in the First Three Modes
Authors: Boukazouha Faiza , Barkat Hamza , Rouabha Abdesselam , Herbadji Abderahim , Rguiti Mohamed
Published: August 2024

In recent years, Piezoelectric Transformers (PTs) have become a great success due to their excellent properties, especially in applications requiring high voltage. The Rosen-type PT is well known for this performance, as its voltage gain at the resonant frequency can reach few thousands. However, the high output impedance of this device can make an accurate electrical measurement of the output voltage difficult, hence the need to ensure good impedance matching along the measuring electrical test setup. For this purpose, two high impedance oscilloscope probes were successively added to the secondary side to further emulate the measurement chain and match the experiments as closely as possible with the developed 1D model. Accordingly, for an unloaded Rosen type piezoelectric transformer, made of hard ceramic (pz26) with corresponding dimensions 2L×w×t =25 mm×3 mm×2 mm and operating in the first three modes, the corresponding input impedances Zin were evaluated at 665 Ω - 225 Ω and 1974 Ω, while the output impedances Zout were evaluated at 19.2 MΩ - 15.4 MΩ, and 1.8 MΩ. A voltage gain of 164, 179 and 23 at frequencies of 69.4 kHz, 136 kHz and 204.6 kHz, respectively was successfully measured, with a precision of less than 5%. In addition, a detailed equivalent circuit of the transformer was built and all its lumped RLC components were experimentally identified using the Nyquist diagram showing, on the whole, a well-accepted agreement with the expected results.
Accurate Solution of Adjustment Models of 3D Control Network
Authors: Zhe Chen , Baixing Fan
Published: August 2024

The spatial Three-Dimensional (3D) edge network is one of the typical rank-lossless networks. The current network adjustment usually uses Least Squares (LS) algorithm, which has the complexity of linearization derivation, computational volume and other problems. It is based on high-precision ranging values. This study aims to minimize the sum of the difference between the inverse distance of the control point coordinates and the observation distance, the composition of the non-linear system of equations to build a functional model. Considering the advantages of the intelligent optimization algorithm in the non-linear equation system solving method, such as no demand derivation and simple formula derivation, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is introduced and the improved PSO algorithm is constructed; at the same time, the improved Gauss-Newton (G-N) algorithm is studied for the calculation of the 3D control network adjustment function model to solve the problems of computational volume and poor convergence performance of the algorithm with large residuals of the unknown parameters. The results show that the improved PSO algorithm and the improved G-N algorithm can guarantee the accuracy of the solution results. Compared with the traditional PSO algorithm, the improved PSO algorithm has a faster optimization speed. When the residuals of the unknown parameters are too large, the improved G-N algorithm is more stable than the improved PSO algorithm, which not only provides a new way to solve the spatial 3D network, but also provides theoretical support for the establishment of the spatial 3D network.

Authors: Hussain H. M. , Mahmood M. B. , Yaaqoob L. A.
Published: August 2024

This study aimed to demonstrate the biosynthesis procedure of zinc oxide nanoparticles (Zn-O NPs) by using extracellular components from environmental isolates of Escherichia coli as reducing and stabilizing agent by adding 1 g of zinc sulfate to 10 ml of bacterial extract to prepare of zinc oxide nanoparticles. These organic pollutants are considered one of the most important causes of poisoning that have great health risks to humans and are also considered one of the most dangerous environmental pollutants as they are toxic and harmful to the environment. The optimum condition for Zn-O biosynthesis was characterized through several devices and techniques such as ultraviolet- visible (UV-Vis) Atomic force microscope (AFM) X-Ray diffractometer (XRD) Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). In particular, a cutoff phenomenon of the biological synthesized Zn-O was found at around 325 nm using UV-Vis, while spherical shape particles were noticed using FE-SEM techniques. Also, the results of the AFM analysis revealed that Zn-O NPs have an average diameter of 37.15 nm. Determining the FTIR spectrum of the biosynthesized Zn-O nanoparticles showed Zn-O at the broad peak at 694.33 cm.

Published: August 2024

Gram-positive enterococciare opportunistic and resistant to many antibiotics. This study aimed to investigate the presence of Enterococcus spp. in our community and whether these isolates are resistant to the macrolides class of antibiotics. Fifty isolates from 112 clinical samples were recognized as Enterococcus spp. and confirmed using Vitek-2 system. The current study found that 50/112 (44.6%) represented the total isolates, 38/50 (76%) of which were Enterococcus faecalis, while 12/50 (24%) were Enterococcus faecium, twenty (40%) isolates from root canals and 30 (60%) isolates from urine were isolated. The sensitivity of the enterococcal isolates to various macrolides (erythromycin, azithromycin and clarithromycin) antibiotics was determined by using the disk diffusion approach. Later, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for erythromycin and the most resistant drug among this group  were investigated using the agar dilution technique. And then molecular detection for mef gene was done using two specific primers via PCR technique. The current findings revealed high resistance rates to macrolide antibiotics which were reported in 21/50 (42%) of total isolates and at significant levels of MIC values for most isolates (57%). And as for the PCR results, it was negative for mef gene in all tested isolates.

Authors: Gani Sayl , Hussein M. S.
Published: August 2024

In this work, the pseudoparabolic problem of the fourth order is investigated to identify the time -dependent potential term under periodic conditions, namely, the integral condition and overdetermination condition. The existence and uniqueness of the solution to the inverse problem are provided. The proposed method involves discretizing the pseudoparabolic equation by using a finite difference scheme, and an iterative optimization algorithm to resolve the inverse problem which views as a nonlinear least-square minimization. The optimization algorithm aims to minimize the difference between the numerical computing solution and the measured data. Tikhonov’s regularization method is also applied to gain stable results. Two examples are introduced to explain the reliability of the proposed scheme. Finally, the results showed that the time dependent potential terms are successfully reconstructed,  stable and accurate, even in inclusion of noise.

Authors: Benameur Okba , Leghrib Fouad , Laroui Abdelbasset
Published: August 2024

The rapid urbanization of Mostaganem, Algeria, has led to significant challenges in the accessibility of urban green spaces (UGS), crucial for promoting environmental sustainability and public health. This study uses a space syntax approach, specifically angular segment analysis (ASA), to assess UGS accessibility at city-wide and local scales. By integrating quantitative measures like "Choice" and "Integration" with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the research identifies spatial disparities in green space distribution and accessibility, with global integration values ranging from 0.469 to 0.801. Results reveal unequal distribution, infrastructure inadequacies, and safety issues affecting accessibility. The study highlights areas like Boudjemaa and Emir Abd El Kader, which offer high connectivity, while others like Jannat El Aarif suffer from limited accessibility. Recommendations include enhancing transportation infrastructure, prioritizing green spaces in urban planning, and diversifying facilities to improve accessibility and promote social inclusion. This research provides a comprehensive framework for policymakers and urban planners, aiming to optimize urban green space accessibility and contribute to sustainable urban development in Mostaganem, aligning with global efforts towards equitable urban environments.

Parental Preferences and Non-Spatial Factors Influencing Home-to-school Distance in Urban India: Insights From Visakhapatnam
Authors: Reddy Rohinikumar , Pasupuleti Ram Sateesh
Published: August 2024

The school in the neighbourhood unit has been a significant and irreplaceable element in promoting active school commutes, and physical activity needs for children. However, urban areas in India are currently witnessing long school commutes. This study explores parental preferences for school selection in an urban Indian context, focusing on non-spatial attributes of schools associated with home-to-school distance. A questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, with a sample size of 409 families. Data were collected under four parameters: family demographics, socio-economics, neighbourhood environment, and non-spatial attributes of the schools. Pearson's chi-square (χ2) test of independence was adopted to identify the association between the dependent and predictor variables. Further, a multinomial logistic regression model was employed to predict the odds in home-to-school distance. These methods were chosen for their ability to provide robust and reliable results. The findings, which indicate that child age, number of school-going children, annual household income, school's board of affiliation, and education level significantly predict home-to-school distance, have practical implications. They suggest that policy interventions aimed at reducing school commute times should consider these non-spatial factors. Enhancing local school attributes could encourage shorter commutes, promoting healthier lifestyles for children. This understanding can guide the development of policies and interventions that effectively reduce school commute times.
Comparing FAHP and FANP Methods in Locating Multi-storey Parking Sites Shiraz’s CBD
Authors: Dehghani Alireza , Soltani Ali
Published: August 2024

The substantial rise in automobile ownership and expansion of metropolitan areas in recent decades, especially in emerging nations, has resulted in a severe shortage of parking spaces. This problem not only causes significant traffic congestion and an increase in accidents but also places a considerable financial burden on individuals and worsens air pollution. Despite extensive research on addressing the parking issue, there is still a notable deficiency in effective approaches for selecting the best locations for multi-story parking structures, particularly in major cities in Iran. Hence, acknowledging the significance of effective parking management in addressing these problems, This study aimed to provide a comprehensive framework for choosing parking locations in Shiraz's business district. This study combined the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Analytic Network Process (ANP) with a Geographic Information System to make fuzzy multi-criteria decisions. To determine suitable locations, factors such as proximity to business hubs, key roads, land prices, population density, and construction feasibility were assessed. The findings identified districts 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 in Shiraz's core as having the highest potential for multi-story parking facilities among the 30 central districts. Additionally, the findings showed that accessibility to major roads, population density, and proximity to trip generators were the most relevant factors in deciding where parking facilities should be located in Shiraz. Policymakers and urban planners can use the insights provided by the outcomes of these models to make well-informed decisions on parking infrastructure expenditures.

Authors: Manjhi Mukesh , Sagar Vivek , Yadav Pravesh , Dabas Garima , Gupta Aditi , Pratap Punit
Published: August 2024

Objectives:

Medium-depth peels are dynamic tools when used as part of office procedures for the treatment of acne scars. Most of the available literature on chemical peels focuses on their role in skin rejuvenation and hyperpigmentation. There is a paucity of well-conducted studies that have compared peels in the treatment of acne scars in Asian patients.

Material and Methods:

The study aimed to compare the efficacy of 70% glycolic acid (GA) and 30% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) chemical peels in the treatment of facial atrophic acne scars. A longitudinal, right-left study was conducted to assess the effectiveness and side effects of 70% GA and 30% TCA in 30 patients with acne scars. A total of four peeling sessions were performed every 4 weeks. Evaluation of the response was done using Goodman and Baron’s quantitative global acne scarring grading system (GBASG), physician visual analog scale (VAS), and patient VAS at baseline and 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks. Relevant statistical tests were employed to study the effectiveness of both TCA and GA peels.

Results:

Significant reduction was noted in mean GBASG scores on both sides at 8, 12, and 16 compared to baseline score (P = 0.000). Mean GBASG scores decreased from 12.67 ± 3.19 to 8.97 ± 2.73 on the 70% GA side while that on the 30% TCA side reduced from 13.20 ± 3.56 to 6.83 ± 2.60 (P = 0.003). The results were much better on the TCA peel side as compared to GA peel as per physician VAS (P = 0.000) and patient VAS (P = 0.000). Side effects such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and acne were seen on both sides while dryness and crusting were more common on the TCA peel side.

Conclusion:

A 30% TCA peel is efficacious and well-tolerated for mild-to-moderate acne scars. About 70% GA peel is an effective alternative to TCA peel, especially for patients not tolerating TCA or requiring lesser downtime.

Morpholines are common heterocycles in pharmaceutical and agricultural products, yet methods to synthesize them from 1,2-amino alcohols are inefficient. We report the simple, high yielding, one or two-step, redox neutral protocol using inexpensive reagents (ethylene sulfate and tBuOK) for the conversion of 1,2-amino alcohols to morpholines. Key to this methodology is the identification of general conditions that allow for the clean isolation of monoalkylation products derived from a simple SN2 reaction between an amine and ethylene sulfate. Experiments suggest that the degree of selectivity is dependent upon the structure of reacting 1,2-amino alcohol as well as the unique properties of ethylene sulfate. This method can be used for the synthesis of a variety of morpholines containing substituents at various positions, including 28 examples derived from primary amines and multiple examples contained in known active pharmaceutical ingredients. We have conducted multiple examples on >50 g scale. We have also demonstrated the formal synthesis of a morpholine from a simple primary amine using ethylene sulfate. Overall, while this new methodology has many environmental and safety benefits relative to the traditional methods used to prepare morpholines from 1,2-amino alcohols the most striking feature is the facile selective monoalkylation of a variety of primary amines. We have also explored various reactions beyond those related to the synthesis of morpholines, including obtaining proof-of-principle that ethylene sulfate can be used for the synthesis of piperazines and as a 2-carbon electrophile for fragment couplings.

The primary photodissociation events of acetylacetone and its fluorinated analogs reveal that the translational energy distribution profiles of the CH3 and CF3 radicals follow a barrier-impulsive model for the C–C bond cleavage. Analysis based on the one-dimensional potential energy surfaces in the T1 state as well as dynamics simulations using on-the-fly semi-empirical potentials suggest that the C–C bond cleavage with OH in syn orientation, in general, is accompanied by proton migration. Interestingly, the near identical fragment translational energy distribution profiles of CH3 radical release from acetylacetone and trifluoroacetylacetone, as well as CF3 radical release from trifluoroacetylacetone and hexafluoroacetylacetone, suggest that the dynamics of formation of CH3 / CF3 radicals in acetylacetones appears to be independent of nature of the substituent on the other end of the molecule and the behaviour is akin to “let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth.” In the case of acetylacetones the C–C bond cleavage is governed by the local intramolecular vibrational redistribution (IVR) is either statistical or non-statistical along the ‘complex’ reaction coordinate yielding CF3 and CH3 radicals, respectively, and remains non-statistical over the entire molecular framework.
Unsupervised machine learning-based image recognition of raw IR spectra: Toward chemist-like chemical structural classification
Authors: Fuku Kentarou , Yoshida Takefumi
Published: August 2024

Recent advances in artificial intelligence have significantly improved spectral data analysis. In this study, we used unsupervised machine learning to classify chemical compounds based on infrared (IR) spectral images, without relying on prior chemical knowledge. The potential of machine learning for chemical classification was demonstrated by extracting IR spectral images from the Spectral Database for Organic Compounds and converting them into 194300-dimensional vector data. Hierarchical clustering of 227 compounds revealed distinct main clusters (A–G), each with specific subclusters exhibiting higher intracluster similarities. Despite the challenges, including sensitivity to spectral deviations and difficulty of distinguishing delicate chemical structures in spectra with low transparency in the fingerprint area, the proposed image recognition approach exhibits good potential. The Tanimoto coefficient was used to evaluate the molecular similarity, providing valuable insights. However, some results deviated from chemists’ intuitions. The study also highlighted that the scaling composition formulas and molecular weights did not affect the classification results because high-dimensional features dominated the process. Overall, this study demonstrates the feasibility of using machine learning with IR spectral image data for chemical classification and offers a novel perspective that complements traditional methods, although the classifications may not always align with chemists’ intuitions.
A ONIPOTÊNCIA E SEUS PARADOXOS
Authors: PEREIRA VITOR GRANDO DA SILVA
Published: August 2024

Neste artigo analisamos a coerência do conceito de onipotência, atributo tradicionalmente atribuído ao Deus das grandes tradições monoteístas. Inicialmente propomos uma descrição adequada do conceito para que, então, possamos analisar alguns paradoxos tradicionais que procuram demonstrar a suposta incoerência do conceito de onipotência. Em nossa análise, fazemos a distinção do (1) conceito de onipotência quando considerado isoladamente do (2) conceito de onipotência quando considerado em conjunto com os demais atributos tradicionais de Deus, porque a resposta aos paradoxos será diferente, a depender de estarmos considerando (1) ou (2).

OIKONOMIA, ESTADO DE EXCEÇÃO E ESCATOLOGIA: SOBRE A FIGURA DO KATECHON NA GENEALOGIA TEOLÓGICA DA GOVERNAMENTALIDADE DE GIORGIO AGAMBEN
Authors: DIÓGENES FRANCISCO BRUNO PEREIRA
Published: August 2024

Este artigo intenciona pôr em evidência a figura bíblico-escatológica do katechon dentro da obra do filósofo italiano contemporâneo Giorgio Agamben. A ideia do presente texto seria visitar a “genealogia teológica da economia e do governo” empreendida pelo filósofo a partir, especialmente, do seu livro O Reino e a Glória [2007], mas com o aporte teórico de outros escritos, fundamentais para este tema, como O tempo que resta [2000] e O mistério do mal [2013]. Trata-se, então, de levar a efeito uma genealogia dentro da perspectiva daquilo que se chamou de governamentalidade, o que significa, no caso de Agamben, também ter em vista a noção de exceção como fundamento e técnica política do governo dos homens. Mas, nesse ínterim, é fundamental compreender melhor os temas teológico-escatológicos da oikonomia e do katechon ”“ este último, melhor trabalhado neste artigo ”“, investigados por Agamben nas referidas obras, na medida em que constituem noções-chave para a presente reflexão do autor.
Jahe Dan Kayumanis Dalam Fermentasi Minuman Fungsional

Minuman fungsional merupakan bagian dari pangan fungsional yang memiliki fungsi utama sebagai penyedia nutrisi dan fungsi kesehatan yang harus dibuktikan secara ilmiah. Pangan fungsional terutama hasil dari proses fermentasi dinilai mampu mengatasi berbagai dampak pola makan yang berkaitan dengan meningkatnya berbagai macam penyakit, terutama penyakit degeneratif. Definisi pangan fungsional menurut The International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) dalam Handito et al. (2020) adalah pangan yang karena mengandung senyawa yang aktif secara fisiologis, dapat memberikan keuntungan kesehatan di luar zat-zat gizi dasar. Sedangkan Badan Peneliti Obat dan Makanan (BPOM) menetapkan definisi pangan fungsional sebagai pangan olahan yang mengandung satu atau lebih komponen fungsional yang berdasarkan kajian ilmiah mempunyai fungsi fisiologis tertentu, terbukti tidak membahayakan dan aman bagi esehatan (BPOM, 2005). Karena pangan fungsional bukan sebagai treatment yang efeknya harus dirasakan segera seperti halnya obat, maka pangan fungsional hanya berfungsi sebagai pengurang resiko terhadap penyakit, manfaatnya dirasakan perlahan dan bertahap.
