Functioning and Control of Phagocytosis
Authors: Turyamuhika Laban , Bosco Agaba , Moses Asiimwe , Benson Musinguzi , Erick Okek
Published: August 2023

Phagocytosis is a very complex and versatile process that contributes to immunity through a series of events that is it’s sometimes referred to the Come and Eat me process. Due to the recognition ingestion and digestion then destruction. It’s also central to tissue homeostasis and remodeling by clearing dead cells. This ability of phagocytes to perform such diverse functions rests in large part on their vast repertoire of receptors. In this book chapter we looked at the processes used by phagocyte to perform there phagocytosis function. This is made possible by the binding of opsonins on the microbes like the C3b of the complement. This works as a chemo attractant to the phagocytes to come and initiate the process of eating. On recognition this microbe or dead cell interacts with the phagocyte with the help of a very big repertoire of receptors the microbe is engulfed with in the phagosome. As microbes interact with the phagocyte receptors a cascade of signaling events downstream that then activate phagocytosis. This membrane and cytoskeleton remodulation lead to the formation of pseudopods that cover the entire microbe forming a phagocytic cup which closes a few minutes to take up the microbe completely. The signal cascade is most known for the Fc receptor activities. Crosslinking of the Fc receptor on the surface of phagocyte activate phagocytosis and any other effector functions such as activation of the oxidative burst, degranulation, antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity and activation of genes for cytokine/chemokine production that are beneficial in microbe destruction and initiation of inflammation. This starts once the interaction of phagocytes receptors and their ligands on the target microbes takes place appropriately. The phagocyte receptors will then aggregate to activate a series of pathways that regulate actin cytoskeleton which helps in the formation of a new vesicle which comes out of the membrane to enclose the microbe. In here a number of processes and stages take place all aimed at killing and denaturing the particle. They include early phagosome, intermediate phagosome, phagolysosome formation and the late phagosome all these participate in eliminating the phagocytized microbe. However with all the above phagocytic efficiency, some pathogens evade phagocytosis using different means and presence of certain capacities that facilitate evasion examples of organisms that evade phagocytosis include Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Listeria monocytogens Escherichia coli etc. all these use different means in evasion. Therefore the concept and science of Phagocytes used to be studied more to explore more pharmaceutical products based on the evasion mechanisms.

Authors: Tabellion Daniel , Alexandersso Jan
Published: August 2023

We aim to empower citizens with special needs in public transport. We shift the role of passengers from being mere objects to self-determined individuals who choose how they travel. Through our socio-technical system, Mobisaar, we extend traditional public transport to accommodate different hindrances like fear or wheelchair use. Our core feature is a human-based door-to-door service facilitated by the so-called “mobility pilots.”, especially educated service persons. Alongside a coordination hub and various user interfaces for interacting with Mobisaar, such as apps and a call center, we aim to provide passengers with up-to-date information on Points of Interest (POI) during their trips. The Mobisaar WORLD database emphasizes easy-to-understand details, such as photos and videos, rather than technical descriptions. In this work, we focus on security, privacy, and trust, adhering to GDPR requirements. We address concerns by ensuring data trust and protecting personal information. We also explore the state-of-the-art in the field, including crowdsourcing platforms, security, privacy, and trust requirements. We aim to make Mobisaar WORLD an effective mechanism for data verification and safeguard personal information, especially regarding location privacy.

Authors: Marzouk Trifi Ikhlass , Dammak Lasâad , Baklouti Lassaad , Hamrouni Béchir
Published: August 2023

Donnan dialysis is one of the membrane processes. It is based on the cross-exchange of ions having the same electric charge through an ion-exchange membrane. The removal of boron by Donnan dialysis was studied in this work. First, a preliminary study was conducted to determine the experimental field of operating parameters using two membranes (AFN and ACS). Then, a full factorial design was applied to investigate the influence of the operating parameters and their interactions on the boron removal. Response surface methodology using Doehlert design was adopted to predict the optimal conditions. This approach via experimental designs is more efficient than the conventional optimization approach (the “one-at-a-time” method) which is time-consuming and requires a large number of experiments.
Plant-Based Sustainable Self-Cleaners in Nanotechnology Era: From Mechanism to Assembling
Authors: Nakhaei Mojdeh , Ying Chong Jing , Tang Yunlong , Mansouri Shahnaz
Published: August 2023

Nature has always been a resource of inspiration for humans, providing valuable lessons that have led to innovative solutions throughout history. Observing the micro-nano roughness structure of bio-surfaces has led to the discovery of natural self-cleaning surfaces for over 25 years. This has sparked a new field of research with valuable applications. Numerous self-cleaning products made from plant extracts have been created by replicating the natural purifying abilities of plant surfaces. Significant literature exists on the development, classification, extraction, and production of self-cleaning agents for diverse industries through a thorough understanding of bio-cleaning mechanisms. Various methods have been developed to synthesize these surfaces, including immersion, electrochemical deposition, emulsion, electrospinning, phase-separation, Chemical-Vapor-Deposition (CVD), spray coating, wet chemical reaction, and three-dimensional printing (3D-printing), among others. Currently, the primary objective is to gain knowledge from nature and utilize it to develop novel products for food, pharmaceutical, and related industries. Natural plant-based self-cleaning surfaces can be characterized by their superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity regimes. The process of 3D-printing is a computer-based technique that builds up three-dimensional objects through the layer-by-layer deposition of materials. The creation of effective self-cleaning surfaces with unique wettability, chemical properties, and microstructure depends on the design and engineering of solid surfaces.
Autonomous Driving and Cybersecurity by Design
Authors: Bruce-Boye Cecil , Eisenbarth Thomas , Krebbel Moritz , Fechner Andreas , Luyken Robert , David Telse
Published: August 2023

So far, real-time requirements for the overall autonomous driving (AD) have been addressed only in a few cases. Cybersecurity and real-time capability are usually addressed separately. However, with regard to a justifiable mobility quality, these requirements are in direct interaction with each other. Therefore, as suggested here, it makes sense to consider the provision of a suitable IT infrastructure with cybersecurity, QoS (Quality of Service) and simultaneous real-time IoT capabilities. The early integration of security and real-time by design, as well as the architecture concepts mentioned, are measures that limit development costs, make the solution modular, scalable and thus sustainable. We introduce the adaptive-real-time-manager (ARM), an innovative concept for continuous assessment and optimization of the real-time capability of autonomous driving systems. The paper also proposes a cloud-broker-concept and simulation as essential building blocks to accelerate the integration of the ARM into an autonomous driving system (ADS). Furthermore, we discuss aspects of multisensory data acquisition and processing, addressing the integration of various data sources and their qualities. Finally, we highlight the importance of driveability for autonomous vehicles, emphasizing its role in comfort, safety, and user acceptance.
Catalysis with Ruthenium for Sustainable Carbon Cycles
Authors: Ernst Müller Thomas
Published: August 2023

Nestled between the noble and non-noble metals in the periodic table, ruthenium, one of the transition metals, offers a combination of intriguing properties. Due to its variable oxidation states and its ability to form complexes with various Lewis base compounds, ruthenium, has been widely used in the field of catalysis. Its application has led to groundbreaking breakthroughs in a variety of chemical transformations and has attracted considerable attention in both academic research and industrial applications. Ruthenium catalysis is a dynamic and rapidly evolving field, with ongoing efforts to further advance the efficiency and selectivity of these catalysts. Importantly, in the context of sustainability, ruthenium-based catalysts play an important role in promoting green chemistry practices. Because ruthenium catalysts are highly efficient, only small amounts of the element need to be used. Recovery rates at the end of catalyst life are typically very high, minimizing the need to mine fresh ore. The use of ruthenium catalysts promotes the utilization of renewable resources in various chemical transformations, is at the heart of the realization of new energy-related processes, and by enabling efficient and highly selective chemical transformations reduces waste and harmful emissions. These aspects reinforce the metal’s importance in the quest for a more sustainable future.
Anthropogenic Impacts as Determinants of Tropical Lake Morphology: Inferences for Strategic Conservation of Lake Wetland Biodiversity
Authors: O. Adeogun Aina , V. Chukwuka Azubuike
Published: August 2023

Lakes as essential ecosystems for diverse life forms, including humans, have suffered altered morphology with adverse effects on biodiversity including amphibians and amphibious species. Thus, it is imperative for effective conservation strategies to simultaneously consider lake morphology, landscape variables, and the role of keystone species as ecosystem engineers for biodiversity preservation. Keystone species, particularly birds and large-bodied predators, i.e., crocodylians, play a critical role in maintaining the health of lake ecosystems as ecosystem engineers, bringing about large-scale changes in lake morphology and hydrology that determine the abundance and survival of other species in the ecosystem. Conservation strategies should, therefore, prioritize the protection of these keystone species and their habitats. To balance the needs of human society with the protection of lake ecosystems and their biodiversity, conservation practices must involve stakeholder engagement, including government agencies, local communities, traditional ecological knowledge, and scientists. A multidisciplinary approach, incorporating ecological, hydrological, and social factors, is considered necessary for effective lake conservation. This approach will encompass the preservation of lake biodiversity and consider important variables such as lake morphology, landscape variables, and the role of keystone species as ecosystem engineers in providing insights for strategic conservation practices.
The Connection between Entrepreneurial Intentions and Community Member Priorities for Asset-Based, Sustainable Development to Improve Well-Being
Authors: Kammer-Kerwick Matt , Takasaki Kara , Kellison Bruce
Published: August 2023

This chapter analyzes survey data collected from 5487 residents across 85 communities in Texas, USA, ranging from rural areas to large urban centers. Our analysis examines the impact of a community’s degree of urbanity and rurality, as well as individual factors such as social position, values, and satisfaction with local assets, on their economic and quality-of-life development project preferences. We argue that community development processes should take a broader, multicriteria approach that considers a range of factors impacting community needs and well-being. Our findings demonstrate the viability of this human-centered approach, highlighting the opportunity to direct societal capitals toward enhancing well-being within various systems. We analyze six community development project concepts, including renovations to downtown buildings, opening a community health center, deploying high-speed internet, enhancing public libraries, offering early-college-credit programs, and creating a co-working and startup space. Our study shows that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to community development, and participatory processes can guide collaboration between experts and community members. We find that entrepreneurial intention can positively or negatively impact community development concepts and should be considered as part of a well-being strategy. However, social governance structures, both governmental and non-governmental, need to address common-cause aspects of well-being such as community health and education.
Interferometric Phase Transmitarray for Millimeter-Wave MIMO System
Authors: Luo Yu , Guo Xiaoxuan
Published: August 2023

A millimeter-wave (mmW) interferometric phase transmitarray for the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system is proposed, and its phase distribution is the interference superposition of electromagnetic waves radiated by two patch antennas at different locations. Its characteristic is that when multiple EM waves illuminate the center of the array, the transmitted waves are formed into high-directivity beams. In addition, when the plane wave illuminates the interference phase transmitarray vertically, the transmissive plane wave will be scattered and focused to two different positions. A novel MIMO system can be implemented based on the above two characteristics. Compared with the conventional lens MIMO, the advantage of the MIMO system integrated by the interferometric phase transmitarray is that multiple antennas can share one transmitarray, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the MIMO transceiver. More critically, all channels can efficiently transmit information and increase channel capacity.
Suspense and Unease in Patricia Highsmith’s Ripliad
Authors: Brusberg-Kiermeier Stefani
Published: August 2023

This chapter argues that Patricia Highsmith’s most famous character can be regarded as a transatlantic and cross-class invention of the 1950s. The novels featuring Tom Ripley must also be placed in the context of the transnational literary developments of the crime novel and especially the suspense novel. The contribution focuses on the construction of suspense and suggests that the emotional state of unease plays a central role, mainly in the construction and presentation of the protagonist, but also in the impact of the novels on the readers. In contrast to research on the Ripliad so far, this contribution does neither adopt a psychoanalytical approach nor does it focus on emotions that are easily readable: it is routed in narrative theory, explores the subtle emotional state of unease, and thus contributes to affective narratology.
The Impact of the Self-Determination Learning Model of Instruction in Improving School Task Performance Behaviors in Students with Mild to Moderate Intellectual Disabilities: A Multiple Baseline Design Study
Authors: Cristea Mihaela
Published: August 2023

The development of programs aimed to promote self-determination in students with disabilities is a very popular research topic. Many of these programs have obtained the status of evidence-based practices, one being the Self-Determination Learning Model of Instruction. Although the literature emphasizes the link between self-determination and the school performance of students with disabilities, in Romanian research and educational practice there is a weak focus on specific programs to improve self-determined abilities, attitudes, and behaviors, these being rather in an early phase of study and application. The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of the impact of the Self-Determination Learning Model of Instruction on the academic performance of five students with intellectual disabilities. In this multiple baseline across participants design study, school performance is operationalized in reading comprehension skills, vocabulary communication skills, math problem solving, choice making, and goal setting and attainment. The preliminary adapted AIR Self-determination scale for Romanian students and individual observation checklists were used for each dependent variable to evaluate the competencies and indicators related to school performance in the baseline, treatment, and maintenance stages. Study findings indicated significant increases in the scores of behaviors and abilities observed throughout the experimental conditions, especially in the final intervention phase and maintenance stage. The academic performances of the five students were on an upward trend, remaining stable and robust over time. The results of the study showed improvements in students’ abilities for self-determination expressed through knowledge, abilities, and perception. Conclusion: The study is a novelty in self-determination research in Romania, directions for future research and implications for practice are discussed.
What Predictors Explain Holocaust and Human Rights Education in Spain? A Study with in-Service Secondary School Teachers
Authors: Ortega-Sánchez Delfín , Barba-Alonso César
Published: August 2023

From the perspective of the pedagogy of teaching collective trauma, and the educational dialogue between historical memory and contemporary social responsibility, this research seeks to determine the socio-demographic, formative and didactic factors that explain the teaching of the Holocaust and Human Rights education in a sample of Spanish secondary school teachers (n = 1125). Through a non-experimental, cross-sectional, explanatory and predictive design, and the application of the instrument Teaching the Holocaust and Human Rights Education (THRE), the results obtained show that the initial and on-going training of teachers is one of the explanatory axes of the curricular inclusion of the Holocaust and Human Rights as specific contents of education for democratic citizenship. Age, gender and level of teacher education, on the other hand, are not proposed as explanatory factors for the inclusion of Holocaust and human rights as specific content in education for democratic citizenship.

Published: August 2023

Digital signatures are used to detect unauthorized modifications to data and to authenticate the identity of the signatory. In addition, the recipient of signed data can use a digital signature as evidence in demonstrating to a third party that the signature was, in fact, generated by the claimed signatory. This is known as non-repudiation since the signatory cannot easily repudiate the signature at a later time. This standard specifies ML-DSA, a set of algorithms that can be used to generate and verify digital signatures. ML-DSA is believed to be secure even against adversaries in possession of a large-scale quantum computer.

Authors: Rudi Trianto
Published: August 2023

Buzzer merupakan individu atau kelompok yang memiliki kemampuan mempengaruhi opini publik melalui media sosial dengan cara membagikan konten-konten tertentu secara intensif dan sistematis. Fenomena buzzer semakin marak terjadi dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, terutama dalam konteks politik. Studi tentang buzzer sebagai komunikator politik bukan sebagai komunikator politik masih terus berlangsung. Hal inilah yang melatarbelakangi penulis untuk melakukan kajian secara teoritis tentang buzzer sebagai komunikator politik.

Penelitian ini menggunakan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, dengan metode analisis literatur atau studi pustaka sebagai teknik pengumpulan data. Penelitian ini membahas dan menganalisis buzzer sebagai komunikator politik. Melalui tinjauan literatur, penelitian ini menguraikan konsep dasar tentang konsep dasar komunikator politik dan buzzer politik.

Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa buzzer dapat dikategorikan sebagai komunikator politik karena mereka memiliki peran penting dalam mempengaruhi opini publik dan mempercepat penyebaran pesan politik melalui media sosial. Selain itu, buzzer juga memiliki kemampuan untuk membangun citra politik dan memobilisasi dukungan massa. Buzzer juga dikategorikan sebagai komunikator politik karena kegiatan mereka memenuhi kriteria sebagai komunikator politik, yakni memiliki kredibilitas (communicator credibility), mempunyai daya tarik (communicator attractiveness), memiliki kesamaan senasib seperasaan (communicator similarity), dan kekuatan (communicator power).

Terdapat argumen yang menyatakan bahwa buzzer tidak sepenuhnya dapat dikategorikan sebagai komunikator politik karena kegiatan mereka lebih bersifat promosi atau kampanye dibandingkan dengan proses komunikasi yang seimbang dan terbuka. Hal ini memerlukan penelitian lanjutan untuk memperdalam pemahaman mengenai fenomena buzzer sebagai komunikator politik.

Ushul Fiqh sebagai Kerangka Berpikir Santri Milenial Dalam Memecahkan Problematika Sosial Keagamaan
Authors: Arifin Zaenal
Published: August 2023

Studying the science of ushul fiqh in the pesantren tradition is significant for the discovery and formation of Islamic law. In fact, ushul fiqh is a mandatory subject that must be mastered by students from the Ibtidaiyah, Aliyah to Ma'had aly levels today. However, the majority of students who study ushul fiqh in Islamic boarding schools are stuck in a conservative paradigm, where studying ushul fiqh is only limited to something that is consumptive, read and memorized, without being contextualized and applied. In fact, Ushul fiqh must be able to be presented in the midst of society in a grounded logical and realistic manner, even ushul fiqh as the primary commodity of the santri in the methodology istinbat al-hukm must address the problems faced by contemporary society. That is the challenge for the students millennial generation in studying ushul fiqh today. In this paper, how to describe the activities of studentsnow salafiyah Islamic boarding schools (not salafi) in studying and understanding ushul fiqh with a descriptive-qualitative research approach model. So that what is studied in this paper is the paradigm of thinking in a community of millennial students in studying and developing ushul fiqh, when faced with social, cultural, political and economic environmental issues that require juridical Islamic law in the frame of religious texts. From the results of this discussion it can be seen that the millennial students' style of thinking in the development and dynamics model of ushul fiqh athoriqotul `Amala (work method) exploration of Islamic law is centered on; revitalization of ushul fiqh, text diversification (fahm nushus asy-syari'ah) and extension maqashid as-syari'ah, that is, the expansion in understanding the purpose of Sharia'h (Fahm maqashid as-syari'ah). Besides that, millennial students can use the ushul fiqh method as a methodthariqatu al a'mal, (work pattern). First, making maslahah a tool in setting the law.Second, match like the legal fatwa of the clergy, with the current situation and conditions.Third, operationalize Ushul Fiqh in Islamic law istinbat as a deductive method. And fourth, complete with Qawaid al-Fiqhiyyah.

EVALUATION OF PARTICIPANT’S OPINIONS REGARDING TÜBİTAK 4007 “A PINCH OF SCIENCE A SLEW OF FESTIVALS” PROJECT

ABSTRACT

Science festivals are public events, usually held in a particular region or country. These activities are considered a fun and educational activities especially for children, increasing their scientific curiosity and improving their abilities. The current study was carried out to determine the views of the participants who participated in the A Pinch Science A Slew of Festivals Project organized within the scope of the TÜBİTAK 4007 special call. A Pinch of Science a Slew of Festivals Project consists of 11 workshops. The study universe consists of 300 participants living in the Hüdayi container Kırıkhan district of Hatay. The study sample including 300 participants was determined by the convenience sampling method and participated in the science festival. Personal Information Form and Science Festival Attitude Scale were data collection tools. The data were collected by applying the single group pre-test and post-test, which is the experimental research design, and the data were analyzed with the SPSS 22.0 program. The study findings show that there is a significant difference between the views of the participants who participated in the A Pinch of Science a Slew of Festivals Project workshops before and after the event.

ÖZ

Hızla artan kentleşme ile kentlerde yeşil alan varlığı giderek azalmaktadır. Kentlerde kullanılmayan ya da atıl kalmış alanlar yeşil alanlara kazandırılarak yaşanabilir mekânlar üretilmeye ihtiyaç vardır. Cep parkları ve parkletler, küçük ve atıl kalmış alanları değerlendirmek ve kent ekolojisine katkı sağlamak açısından geliştirilen yenilikçi uygulamalardır. Bu çalışmada Çankırı ilinde kentsel koridor olan Tatlıçay üzerinde yer alan yeşil alanlarda cep park ve parklet uygulamalarının geliştirilmesi ve yeşil altyapıya katkı sağlanması amaçlanmıştır. Tatlıçay çevresindeki park alanları imar planları ve arazi çalışmaları doğrultusunda analiz edilmiş ve geliştirilmesi gereken yeşil alanlar saptanmıştır. Alanda kullanılmayan ve gelişime açık olan park alanlarında cep park ve parklet uygulamaları tasarlanarak sketchUp aracında üç boyutlu modellerle öneriler sunulmuştur. Çalışma sonunda mevcut parklar ile yeni üretilen parkların yeşil ağ bağlantılılığı sağlanarak kent ekosistemine ve topluma katkı sağlamak için öneri tasarımlar geliştirilmiştir. Kent içinde yürünebilirliği teşvik ederek, yaşanabilir kamusal mekânlar oluşturulmuştur. Cep park ve parklet uygulamaları yeşil alanların sürdürülebilirliğinde katkısı olup kentlerde tasarım önerileriyle geliştirilmelidir.

Based on quantitative cyto- and receptor architectonic analyses, we identified 35 prefrontal areas, including novel subdivisions of Walker’s areas 10, 9, 8B, and 46. Statistical analysis of receptor densities revealed regional differences in lateral and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex. Indeed, structural and functional organization of subdivisions encompassing areas 46 and 12 demonstrated significant differences in the interareal levels of α2 receptors. Furthermore, multivariate analysis included receptor fingerprints of previously identified 16 motor areas in the same macaque brains and revealed 5 clusters encompassing frontal lobe areas. We used the MRI datasets from the non-human primate data sharing consortium PRIME-DE to perform functional connectivity analyses using the resulting frontal maps as seed regions. In general, rostrally located frontal areas were characterized by bigger fingerprints, that is, higher receptor densities, and stronger regional interconnections. Whereas more caudal areas had smaller fingerprints, but showed a widespread connectivity pattern with distant cortical regions. Taken together, this study provides a comprehensive insight into the molecular structure underlying the functional organization of the cortex and, thus, reconcile the discrepancies between the structural and functional hierarchical organization of the primate frontal lobe. Finally, our data are publicly available via the EBRAINS and BALSA repositories for the entire scientific community.
