Edward Nevin and the evolution of the Welsh economy since 1950
Authors: Nevin Michael J.
Published: January 2025

Introductory Editor's note: Edward (Ted) Nevin produced a considerable body of research on the Welsh economy and regional policy, publishing a total of fifty monographs, academic papers and press articles between the early 1950s and 1990. February 2025 will be the centenary of Nevin’s birth. To mark this milestone, his son, Michael Nevin, has recently published a book ‘Edward Nevin: An impression of his life, times and legacy’ (Nevin, 2024). In addition, Michael Nevin has authored this paper which provides a synthesis of Edward Nevin’s work on the Welsh economy and considers its implications for Welsh economic policy in the 2020s. Edward Nevin’s work was of great significance and importance, in particular the pioneering work he co-authored on the structure of the Welsh economy, producing the first set of input-output accounts relating to Wales. This work formed a foundation and provided inspiration for research in input-output analysis in Wales and beyond. In Wales, much of the activities of the Welsh Economy Research Unit at Cardiff Business School have been based around compiling input-output tables for Wales and applying these in a range of contexts.
Wartości kibicowskie odzwierciedlone w propozycjach nazewniczych oficjalnego sklepu Łódzkiego Klubu Sportowego
Authors: Burska Katarzyna
Published: January 2025

W październiku 2023 r. ŁKS Łódź ogłosił na Facebooku i Twitterze konkurs na nazwę oficjalnego sklepu. Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie, do jakich wartości kibicowskich nawiązywały kreacje onimiczne zamieszczane w komentarzach. Podstawę badawczą stanowią 654 jednostki. Internauci chętnie umieszczali w propriach symbole tworzące tożsamość klubu z Łodzi: jego nazwę, herb, barwy, datę powstania, lokalizację, zastępcze nazwy klubu, zasłużone postacie, ważne sektory na stadionie, tym samym potwierdzając, że wszystko, co związane z drużyną, której kibicują, jest dla nich bardzo istotne. Nie brakowało propozycji zawierających kilka klubowych wyznaczników. Do komponentów będących przejawem wartości klubowych dołączano przede wszystkim elementy informujące o przeznaczeniu lokalu, a zatem polskie i angielskie wyrazy wskazujące, że prowadzona jest tam działalność handlowa (np. sklep, galeria, shop, store), które można by utożsamiać z członami gatunkującymi. Nierzadko internauci umieszczali też wyrazy z pól tematycznych ubiór i moda.

The Pivotal Role of Management Control in Times of Crisis: Enhancing Organizational Resilience and Strategic Adaptation
Authors: Snoussi Nabila , Elhamma Azzouz
Published: January 2025

This article examines the transformation of management control, which has traditionally been regarded as a support function, into a central strategic lever in times of crisis. The study is focused on three core areas: the impact of management control mechanisms on organisational performance; their role in facilitating adaptation in a crisis context; and the influence of adopting new control tools on the company’s strategic direction. The research utilises a quantitative approach and is based on a sample of 97 companies across various sectors and sizes, ensuring diverse representation via non-stratified random sampling. Statistical techniques employed include Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Tests, quantile regression, and Spearman's correlation coefficients to validate the hypotheses.  The findings demonstrate that management control is a key factor in enhancing performance, organisational resilience, and the implementation of a proactive strategy. Specifically, advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems were shown to enable companies to anticipate risks, seize opportunities, and strengthen their competitive advantage during crises.  However, several limitations remain. These include the relatively small sample size, which restricts generalizability, the specific nature of the crises under study (COVID-19 crisis) and the potential for respondent bias, as most participants were senior executives or management controllers. These factors highlight the need for further research, particularly the exploration of additional crisis contexts and the use of mixed methodologies for a more comprehensive analysis.
Autobiographical narrations of sexual harassment on online blogs as tools for Egyptian women’s empowerment: a linguistic and critical analysis
Authors: La Causa Lucia
Published: January 2025

Sexual violence against women is still a global and pervasive problem (International Institute for Global Health, 2019), especially in male-controlled countries like Egypt. These days, an increasing number of Egyptian women is using autobiographical narrations on online blogs to condemn negative ideologies and misogynist practices in their society, denouncing episodes of sexual harassment that they have experienced or witnessed. In this study, it has been observed how they use language on blogs to recount their own experiences of sexual abuse. A sample of five autobiographies retrieved from the Egyptian blog Speak Up has been selected for the purpose of this investigation. These stories have been linguistically and critically analysed through Halliday’s functional grammar (2014) and a Critical Discourse Analysis (Machin & Mayr, 2023), more specifically a Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (Lazar, 2007), with the aim of observing how personal female identities and empowerment are performed through this form of first-person narration (Lazar, 2006; Bamberg, 2010; Schiffrin et al., 2010). A special focus has been on verbal and semiotic choices, which suggest agency, transitivity, and power relationships, and on appraisal elements which give information about the narrators’ “feelings and opinions” (Derewianka & Jones, 2016, p. 25). The analysis has proved to be useful in showing how these Egyptian women narrators consciously or unconsciously present themselves as “empowered victims”.
Étude Exploratoire des Motivations au Choix de la Carrière Salariale chez des Etudiants de l’université Félix Houphouët Boigny d’Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire)
Authors: Edoua Kassi Edoua David Samuel
Published: January 2025

Le présent travail vise à connaitre les motivations au salariat afin d’expliquer l’opiniâtreté de certains jeunes diplômés à obtenir un emploi salarié. Il a eu recours à une approche qualitative (l’analyse de contenu thématique) passant par des entretiens semi-directifs conduit auprès de 36 étudiants inscrits en année de Master et provenant de 9 facultés. Les participants de l’étude ont été sélectionnés grâce à la technique d’échantillonnage par cas multiples.  Les résultats révèlent que 08 sous-catégories de raisons expliquent les motivations au salariat. 78 % de ces motivations émanent de ceux ayant choisi le salariat comme carrière professionnelle et 22 %, de ceux ayant opté pour la carrière entrepreneuriale. Ainsi, les résultats montrent qu’ici c’est plutôt les attitudes cognitives puis, les traits de personnalité qui prédominent dans le choix de la carrière salariale. De fait, les décideurs et spécialistes engagés dans la promotion de l’insertion professionnelle doivent s’intéresser aux dispositions individuelles, aux représentations mentales et sociales des étudiants relatifs au salariat. Une modification réussie des schémas de pensées sur le salariat permettrait aux États de rééquilibrer la balance de l’orientation professionnelle et aussi, aux jeunes diplômés de sortir le plus rapidement possible des longues quêtes d’emploi et du chômage.
 
The aim of this study is to find out what motivates some young graduates to take up salaried employment in order to explain their persistence. A qualitative approach (thematic content analysis) was used, involving semi-directive interviews with 36 students enrolled in a Master's year from 9 faculties. Participants in the study were selected using a multiple-case sampling technique.  The results reveal that 08 sub-categories of reasons were found to explain students' motivations for taking up paid employment. 78 % of these reasons were given by those who had chosen to work for a company as a professional career and 22 % by those who had opted for an entrepreneurial career. The results show that in this case, it is cognitive attitudes and then personality traits that predominate in students' choice of salary career. As a result, decision-makers and specialists working in the field of professional integration must take an interest in the individual dispositions and mental and social representations of students with regard to salaried employment. Achieving a change in thinking about salaried employment would not only enable states to rebalance the balance of career guidance but also enable young graduates to emerge as quickly as possible from the long search for work and unemployment.

Bombax brevicuspe  (Sprague) Roberty (Malvaceae) est une plante médicinale utilisée dans le traitement traditionnel de la fistule obstétricale en Côte d'Ivoire. Cette étude a pour but d’évaluer l’activité antioxydante in vitro des extraits de l’écorce de B. brevicuspe. Les différents extraits (aqueux, éthanol, acétate d’éthyle et hexane) de l’écorce de B. brevicuspe ont été obtenus par décoction et par macération. Après le screening phytochimique, l‘activité antiradicalaire des extraits à différentes concentrations a été déterminée par le test du DPPH et les pourcentages d’inhibition du DPPH (IC50) ont été calculés. Le screening phytochimique a montré que l’écorce de B. brevicuspe est riche en groupes chimiques naturelles (alcaloïdes, flavonoïdes, tanins, coumarines, stérols, triterpénoïdes et saponines). Tous les extraits ont montré une activité antioxydante en piégeant les radicaux libres DPPH selon la concentration. Il a été enregistré une augmentation des valeurs IC50 de (5 à 60µg/ml). L'extrait  hexanique a montré une IC50 (5 µg/mL) proche de la vitamine C (4,5µg/ml). Les résultats obtenus suggèrent que les extraits de l’écorce de tige B. brevicuspe contiennent plusieurs groupes chimiques et présentent une activité antioxydante au test du DPPH.
Bombax brevicuspe (Sprague) Roberty (Mallvaceae) is a medicinal plant used in the traditional treatment of obstetric fistula in Côte d'Ivoire. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant activity of B. brevicuspe bark extracts. The various extracts (aqueous, ethanol, ethyl acetate and hexane) of the bark of B. brevicuspe were obtained by decoction and maceration. After phytochemical screening, the anti-radical activity of the extracts at different concentrations was determined by the DPPH test and the percentages of DPPH inhibition (IC50) were calculated. Phytochemical screening has shown that the bark of B. brevicuspe is rich in natural chemical groups (alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, coumarins, sterols, triterpenoids and saponins). All extracts showed antioxidant activity by scavenging DPPH free radicals depending on concentration. An increase in IC50 values of (60 to 5 μg/ml) was recorded. The hexanic extract showed an IC50 (5 μg/mL) close to vitamin C (4.5 μg/ml). The results obtained suggest that Bombax brevicuspe extracts contain several chemical groups and exhibit antioxidant activity in the DPPH test.
Inégalités cachées : un problème fiscal pour les femmes du marché dans les Etats d’Enugu et de Kaduna, au Nigéria
Authors: Akpan Imaobong , Sempere Kas
Published: January 2025

La question de l’égalité femmes-hommes et la fiscalité est de plus en plus étudiée, pourtant peu de publications existent sur ce sujet dans le cadre des marchés locaux dans les pays à faible revenu. Cependant, il y a aujourd’hui un nombre croissant d’études portant sur cette problématique. Ces études ont soulevé plusieurs problèmes qui ont des répercussions négatives sur les femmes travaillant sur les marchés. Ces problèmes trouvent leur origine dans la collecte de l’impôt et le harcèlement, la faible représentation des femmes dans les administrations fiscales, l’augmentation des taxes, l’imposition multiple, la faiblesse de l’éducation fiscale, les redevances pour l’utilisation des toilettes, les politiques fiscales ignorant les questions de genre, les biais fiscaux implicites, et dans l’imposition forfaitaire.

En complément de ces éléments, notre étude a posé les questions suivantes : les taxes et autres paiements sur le marché sont-ils discriminants envers les femmes des marchés au Nigéria ? Dans quelle mesure la collecte de l’impôt est-elle perçue différemment selon que le commerçant sur le marché local est un homme ou bien une femme ?

L’étude a fait émerger deux éléments principaux : les effets positifs de la présence de femmes perceptrices sur les marchés et les effets négatifs de l’imposition forfaitaire des commerçantes étant donné la faiblesse de leurs revenus.

Az Európai Unió kereskedelmi kitettségének átrendeződése az orosz–ukrán konfliktus hatására
Authors: Iloskics Zita , Gyimesi András , Braun Emese
Published: January 2025

Az orosz–ukrán konfliktus jelentős hatást gyakorol az Európai Unió kereskedelmi kapcsolataira és
ellátási láncaira, különös tekintettel az orosz energiahordozók és az ukrán mezőgazdasági termékek
vonatkozásában. Jelen tanulmány célja, hogy az elérhető legfrissebb, 2021 és 2022 közötti áruforgalmi adatok felhasználásával bemutassa a „teljes kitettség” (TE-) mutatót, annak alkalmazási módját, valamint az EU és Magyarország kitettségének részletes elemzését. A tanulmány az orosz energiahordozók, az ukrán mezőgazdasági termékek, valamint vasalapanyagok TE-értékeinek változását
vizsgálja részletesen. Az eredmények rávilágítanak arra, hogy 2022 során az EU tagállamai közötti
kitettség jelentősen átrendeződött. Az ukrán mezőgazdasági termékek, például a gabonafélék esetében a kitettség nőtt, különösen az Ukrajnával szomszédos uniós országokban, ahol az importarányok
emelkedése az élelmiszer-ellátási biztonság fenntartását célozta. Ezzel szemben az orosz energiahordozók és nyersanyagok importja jelentős mértékben visszaesett, a tagállamok alternatív forrásokból
pótolták az ilyen jellegű keresletüket. Az ukrán vasérckitettség szintén növekedett, amit részben az
infrastruktúra pusztulása miatt bekövetkezett nyersanyagexport-felfutás magyaráz, miközben a
nyersvas és a félkész vas termékek kitettsége csökkent a tagállamok ellátási láncokhoz való alkalmazkodásának köszönhetően. Elemzésünk rávilágít arra is, hogy az országok alkalmazkodóképessége jelentős eltéréseket mutat, amit földrajzi helyzetük, gazdasági erőforrásaik és energiapolitikai
döntéseik befolyásolnak. A tanulmány hangsúlyozza, hogy a TE-mutató jól követi a kitettségi minták
átrendeződését, miközben betekintést nyújt az EU és Magyarország ellátásbiztonságának és kereskedelmi diverzifikációjának stratégiai kihívásaiba. Kutatásunk hozzájárul a konfliktus gazdasági hatásainak mélyebb megértéséhez, és bemutatja a TE-mutató alkalmazásának lehetőségeit a friss adatok elemzése során.

A tanulmány a magyarországi magánfinanszírozott egészségügyi szolgáltatások kiválasztását befolyásoló tényezőket vizsgálja, különösen a betegek preferenciáit illetően. Az elemzés során a best–
worst scaling (BWS-) módszert alkalmaztuk, amely lehetővé teszi a szolgáltatási attribútumok fontossági sorrendjének megállapítását. A kutatást 421 valid válaszadó részvételével, kvantitatív online
adatgyűjtéssel végeztük. Az eredmények szerint a legfontosabb szempontok közé tartozik a szolgáltatás ára, az egészségügyi szakemberek hozzáállása és a gyors hozzáférés a szolgáltatásokhoz. Kevésbé jelentős szempontokként értékelték a várakozási időt és a barátok ajánlásait. Az eredmények
segíthetnek a jövőbeni szolgáltatásfejlesztésben, és alapul szolgálnak a mostani kutatást követő
diszkrét választási kísérlet (DCE) kísérleti elrendezésének kialakításában.

Published: January 2025

En México hay pocos datos sobre la presencia y abundancia de microplásticos (MP) en mamíferos acuáticos. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar la presencia de éstos en el tracto digestivo de toninas (Tursiops truncatus) varadas en la isla del Carmen, Campeche durante el periodo 2019-2020, así como en peces que son parte de su dieta. De las toninas se extrajeron las cavidades gástricas de dos hembras y dos machos; los contenidos estomacales fueron tamizados y filtrados para contabilizar y clasificar los MP por forma, color y tamaño. El 100 % de los contenidos estomacales tuvieron microplásticos, con un total de 254 partículas; de estos, el 90.94 % (231) fueron fibras plásticas y el 9.05 % (23) fragmentos plásticos (red). El color más común fue el azul con 69 % (176); el intervalo de longitud de las fibras fue de 8.322 - 1466.4 µm. Una hembra cría con una longitud total de 165 cm presentó el mayor número de MP. Hubo diferencias significativas en el color de las fibras plásticas y fragmentos con la clase edad. No hubo diferencia significativa al comparar el sexo de las toninas con el número de fibras plásticas y fragmentos. También se encontraron fibras predominantemente azules en estómagos de peces presa capturados en la zona (Bagre marinus y Anisotremus virginicus). Este es el primer estudio realizado sobre el contenido de microplásticos en toninas para el sur del golfo de México, los cuales se asume que provienen de tierra adentro o de la zona norte de la Península de Yucatán.

Time Evolution of Schrödinger’s Equation Using Quantum Phase Estimation and Non-Self-Adjoint Hamiltonian
Authors: Soltani Mehrzad , Balas Mark J. , Gehlot Vinod , Quadrelli Marco B.
Published: January 2025

Quantum computing, leveraging the principles of superposition and entanglement, speeds up the computational process in dynamical systems. Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) which is a core of many quantum algorithms is an oracle to determine a significant invariant of systems, namely the eigenvalues of the state transition matrix. In addition to showing the scalability of QPE, this paper illustrates the time evolution of phase in the Schrödinger’s equation through Python Code executed in the Qiskit/Aer simulator. In addition, this paper proposes an efficient method for phase estimation of a non-self-adjoint Hamiltonian, which offers great potential in solving complex quantum systems.
Fast Infrared Detection for Multi-Messenger Astronomy
Authors: Drago Alessandro
Published: January 2025

After the detection of the gravitational wave GW170817 from a binary neutron star merger and the simultaneous detection of the electromagnetic signals, multi-messenger astronomy enters a new era. Furthermore, the GRBs (Gamma-Ray Bursts) and the mysterious FRBs (Fast Radio Bursts) have sparked interest in the development of new detectors and telescopes dedicated to the time-domain astronomy across all the electromagnetic spectrum. Fast Infra-red Bursts (FIRBs) have been relatively understudied, often due to the lack of appropriate tools for observation and analysis. In this scenario, the present contribution proposes a new detection system for mid-infrared ground-based telescopes. Experience developed in the diagnostics for lepton circular accelerators has been used to design temporal devices for astronomy. At SINBAD, the infrared beam line of DAFNE, the detector has acquired fast infrared pulses with 2-12 µm wavelengths and 1 ns rise times with sensitivity up to 1 photon implementing the proper amplification. A dedicated data acquisition system has been designed, including simulations for smart triggers and AI pattern recognition techniques. The classification of the most interesting transient candidates found is performed by implementing an off-line fast instability analysis derived from accelerator physics techniques. This contribution aims to be a step toward a feasibility study report.
Automated Phonocardiogram Segmentation\linebreak via a 1D U-Net Convolutional Neural Network: A Binary Approach
Authors: Maya Venegas Victor , García Barrientos Abel , Hernández Herrera Paul , Camacho Juárez José Sergio , Macias-Velasquez Sharon , Pérez Cortez Obed , Reyes Bersaín Alexander
Published: January 2025

This project explores the development of a 1D version of the U-net convolutional neural network (CNN) for automated segmentation of heart sounds from phonocardiogram (PCG) signals. The approach begins with a feature extraction process designed to identify the onset and offset of each heart sound (HS) as binary markers. This process is similar to the image segmentation techniques used in biomedical image analysis, where 80 PCG signals, each 30 seconds long and annotated with heart sound positions, were used to train the CNN. The model receives PCG signals as input and returns the exact onset and offset for each heart sound. By combining classical feature extraction with advanced image-based segmentation techniques, this method offers a more robust and scalable solution for automated heart sound analysis. The results show that the trained model outperforms traditional segmentation methods, demonstrating the potential for deep learning architectures to be adapted for 1D biomedical signal analysis.

Achieving economic growth and inclusive development for all are among policymakers' priorities. There is a growing recognition of the threat to stability posed by prolonged political grievances and a prevailing fragile state in Somaliland, often marked by serious internal conflict with the potential to destabilize the state further. This study highlights the importance of examining the determinants of state stability and leading national development goals. It aims to explain the nexus between instability and the decline of institutional factors that adversely influence economic growth and development by describing major political events in Somaliland from 2022–2023. The nexus between leading sustainable development and stability is critical because stability is a prerequisite for inclusive development, particularly in social, human, and cultural dimensions. Instability, in all its forms and levels, remains a major concern that hampers continuity and incremental progress toward economic growth, social inclusion, human development, and effective state institutions. The study concludes that institutional and structural instability, frequent cabinet reshuffles, and two composite indicators of political instability significantly influence economic growth, impacting Somaliland’s economic growth and development initiatives.
Matching TCP Packets for Stepping-Stone Intrusion Detection Resistant to Intruders’ Chaff-Perturbation
Authors: Wang Lixin , Yang Jianhua , Mphande Kondwani , Zhou Yi
Published: January 2025

Hackers usually launch cyberattacks through several stepping-stone hosts to reduce the chance of being detected. With stepping-stone intrusion (SSI), the attacker’s identity is hidden behind a long interactive connection chain of stepping-stones, and thus very difficult to reveal. Many algorithms to detect SSI have been proposed since 1995. Most of these known detection algorithms for SSI only worked for network traffic without intruders’ session manipulation. These known SSID algorithms are either weak to resist intruders’ chaff-perturbation manipulation or having very limited capability in resisting attacker’s session manipulation. This paper proposes an innovative SSID algorithm resistant to intruders’ chaff-perturbation through matching TCP packets by using crossover of packets. Our proposed SSID algorithm is verified by well-designed network experiments. Our experimental results show that the proposed SSID algorithm works effectively in detecting network intrusion as well as resisting intruders’ chaff-perturbation.
Pitfalls and Challenges in Specific Absorption Rate Evaluation for Functionalized and Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles Used in Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia
Authors: Iacob Nicusor I
Published: January 2025

In recent decades, considerable interest has been observed in the field of cancer treatment research in relation to magnetic hyperthermia (MH), due to its ability to target tumors and generate localized effects with a high degree of specificity. Using of biocompatible mag-netic nanoparticles, coated with specific organic molecules and functionalized with vec-torizing molecules, has enabled the targeting of particular intracellular components of the diseased tissue. The application of localized radiofrequency magnetic fields results in the excitation of magnetic nanoparticles through specific relaxation mechanisms and hyste-resis-driven processes, leading to temperatures that exceed physiological thresholds. This triggers a series of apoptosis processes. Additionally, the effects of low-frequency AC fields on high anisotropy magnetic nanoparticles, whether intra- or extracellular, have been shown to be highly effective in disrupting the internal functional structure of cells. A cru-cial parameter measuring the efficiency of magnetic nanoparticle systems in MFH is the specific absorption rate (SAR), which is experimentally evaluated by different calorimetric and magnetic techniques and methodologies. This review highlights the experimental pitfalls encountered in SAR evaluation and indicates the necessity of standardizing the devices and protocols involved in magnetic hyperthermia SAR evaluation. It also dis-cusses the challenges that arise in magnetic hyperthermia at the cellular level, pointing to a more localized and specialized magnetic hyperthermia perspective.

Utilizing the concept of rough upper approximation neighborhood
systems in simple graphs, this paper introduces a novel class of
topologies on vertex sets. We delve into identifying the specific
graphs that induce either the indiscrete or discrete topology,
unraveling essential topological properties within this
classification. Exploring further, we delve into the continuity and
isomorphism of graph mappings. Subsequently, we apply these findings
to enhance radar chart graphical methods through the analysis of

Machine Learning Approach to Shield Optimization at Muon Collider
Authors: Castelli Luca
Published: January 2025

Muon collisions are considered a promising mean for exploring the energy frontier, leading to a detailed study of the possible feasibility issues. Beam intensities of the order of 1012 muons per bunch are needed to achieve the necessary luminosity, generating a high flux of secondary and tertiary particles from muons decay that reach both the machine elements and the detector region. To limit the impact of this background on the physics performance tungsten shieldings have been studied. A machine learning-based approach to the geometry optimization of these shieldings will be discussed.

Published: January 2025

An ultra-low-power, high-performance online learning and anomaly detection system has been developed for edge security applications. Designed to support personalized learning without relying on cloud data processing, the system employs sample-wise learning, eliminating the need for storing entire datasets for training. Built using memristor-based analog neuromorphic and in-memory computing techniques, the system integrates two unsupervised autoencoder neural networks—one utilizing optimized crossbar weights and the other performing real-time learning to detect novel intrusions. Threshold optimization and anomaly detection are achieved through a fully analog Euclidean Distance (ED) computation circuit, eliminating the need for floating-point processing units. The system demonstrates 87% anomaly detection accuracy, achieves a performance of 16.1 GOPS—774× faster than the ASUS Tinkerboard edge processor—and delivers an energy efficiency of 783 GOPS/W, consuming only 20.5 mW during anomaly detection.
Bias-Corrected and Variance-Corrected MLE for The New Median Based Unit Weibull Distribution (MBUW)
Authors: Attia Iman
Published: January 2025

As the maximum likelihood method is the most commonly used method for parameters estimation being unbiased, consistent, efficient, and asymptotically normal, MLE is used to fit the new distribution (MBUW). But in small to moderate sample size, this MLE estimator is biased unlike the MLE estimators obtained from large sample sizes. In this paper, the Bias-corrected approach for this distribution is discussed and applied to real data analysis. The MLE estimators of MBUW obtained from some optimization techniques like derivative free Nelder Mead algorithm suffers from significant high correlation that is reflected on high covariance between the parameters. Also this association between the parameters affects the variances which may be inflated enough to approach infinity hampering construction of confidence intervals for each parameter. This problem may arise with any optimization technique which necessitates remedies trying to fix it. The author also elaborates a variance correction approach heavily relaying on re-parameterizing the negative log likelihood.
Investigating the Possibility of Integrating Quantum Mechanics with General Relativity Through a Novel Way of Treating Time
Authors: Alamanos Georgios
Published: January 2025

In physics, the two most successful theories, quantum mechanics and general relativity, appear to be incompatible with each other. Many theorists believe that the reason behind this, is that these theories treat space and time very differently, thus focus their attempts on finding a new way of modelling our universe and more specifically of modelling time [1]. In this paper we take a different approach to modelling the time dimension. We do not treat time as a fixed dimension which is experienced the same way for every phenomenon or interaction of any dimensionality. Instead, we model time to always be the plus one (+1) dimension relative to the dimensions through which a given phenomenon propagates and interacts. This means that time for one phenomenon can behave as space for a higher dimensional phenomenon whose time is a different +1 dimension. Through this dynamic modelling of time, we aim to integrate some of the mathematical tools of both quantum mechanics and general relativity such as Operators, Complex Functions (Wavefunctions), Probabilistic Behaviour, the Metric Tensor and the Einstein Energy Equation. Finally, we investigate the compatibility of our results with other theories and the possible testability of our framework.
Characterization of Amino Acids Critical in Transport and Selectivity of the Plant Na+/H+ Exchanger Plasma Membrane SOS1
Authors: Ullah Asad , Dutta Debajyoti , Fliegel Larry
Published: January 2025

SOS1 is the plant membrane Na+/H+ antiporter of Arabidopsis thaliana and is the major transporter extruding Na+ across the plasma membrane of cells in exchange for an intracellular H+. The first 450 amino acid are the membrane transport domain. We examined nine different mutations that may either change specificity or improve salt tolerance. E261K had minor negative effects on the ability to confer LiCl and NaCl tolerance. Mutation A399V had minor effects lowering LiCl tolerance and slightly improving NaCl tolerance as did the double mutant E261KA399V. Four different mutations of amino acid Y346 had varying effects. The Y346R mutation resulted in a major improvement in LiCl tolerance but did not affect NaCl tolerance. The L375I mutant was impaired in NaCl tolerance and the Q362L mutant had minor effects on salt tolerance. Our results demonstrate that amino acid Y346 is critical in ion selectivity and its mutation can dramatically improve LiCl salt tolerance. Some other mutations showed minor improvements in the ability to confer NaCl tolerance (Y346F, A399V, Y346F and Y346A) leaving open the possibility that such mutations might improve salt tolerance in intact plant species.
CRISPR/Cas9 Targeting of Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 1A1 Reveals Heterogeneous Roles in Radiation Response and Redox Stress Across Clonal Lines in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Published: January 2025

The metabolic enzyme Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1), a cancer stem cell marker associated with poor outcomes in breast cancer, has emerged as a promising therapeutic target in TNBC. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of ALDH1A1 in radiation resistance and redox stress in TNBC. Functional knockouts of ALDHA1A1 were generated by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion of ALDH1A1 in the SUM159 cell line, and three distinct clonal populations were isolated. Genetic targeting was confirmed by Sanger sequencing, and loss of ALDH1A1 protein expression was validated by Western blotting. Functional assays assessed ALDEFLUOR activity, cell viability, self-renewal capacity, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels with or without radiation in both the bulk population and clonal lines. Interestingly, ALDEFLUOR activity was uniformly lost across all clonal lines; however, functional effects of ALDH1A1 loss on redox stress, survival, and radiation sensitivity were observed in only one clonal population. These findings highlight significant variability in the role of ALDH1A1 among clonal populations, reflecting the complexity of tumor heterogeneity. This underscores the importance of accounting for tumor heterogeneity when targeting ALDH1A1, as certain TNBC subpopulations may rely more heavily on ALDH1A1 function. These insights are critical for developing effective ALDH1A1-targeted therapies.

Published: January 2025

Exercise plays a key role in managing Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). Virtual Reality-based exercise offers an innovative solution to enhance motivation and deliver meaningful health ben-efits for patients often hesitant to engage in physical activity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of VR-based exercise on biological and psychological parameters of indi-viduals with T1DM compared to traditional exercise, as well as to evaluate their acceptance, in-tention for future use, usability, and preference. In or study, 11 patients with T1DM participated, who underwent two exercise trials. The first was cycling in a cycle ergometer and the second VR-based cycling. A greater reduction in blood glucose was observed after VR-based trial, com-pared with typical cycling. Moreover, there were statistically significant improvements in mood following the VR-based trial, as well as increased interest/enjoyment compared to typical cycling. Additionally, high scores were observed for preference, acceptance, and usability of the VR ex-ercise system. In conclusion, VR-based exercise can enhance mood and increase inter-est/enjoyment of T1DM patients compared to traditional cycling, although no differences were observed in biological parameters such as blood glucose, blood pressure, and heart rate. More-over, the system proved to be user-friendly and well-accepted by these patients without any contraindications.
