Authors: Li Huiqin
Published: December 2024

In 2015, with the expansion of the Chinese film, comedy films gradually gained popularity among the public due to its relaxed cheerful styles, those film also suitable for all ages. Moreover, comedy genres has been continuously changing in response to market requirement. However, following the rise as one of the most favored genres, comedies' merits were increasingly exploited for commercial purposes. Consequently, an influx of low brow and crude comedic works results in a decline of indigenous comedic films’quality.This paper focuses on Mahua Funage Films, the representative of Chinese comedic films, gained exceptional success and have positive reception by audiences from 2015 to 2023. According to Maoyan film rankings(film statistics website in China),  among the top 30 domestic comedy films in recent years, there are 9 films in which Mahua Funage (including the production team or actors) participated, and the scores are as high as 9.1, achieving in both box office and reputation in nearly 5 years. Notably, some of Mahua Funage’s films related to the themes of ”Gender Misplacement”.Thus,this paper aims at scrutinizing portrayals with ”gender misplaced” in Mahua Funage's comedies while delving into historical background behind their comic allure and analyzing factors contributing the decline of the reputation by abusing “gender misplaced".

Authors: Jia Haocheng , Ran Qishan
Published: January 2025

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive and deadly malignant glioma of the adult central nervous system (CNS), searching for related genes is very important for the treatment and prognosis of GBM. NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1 alpha subcomplex, 9 (NDUFA9) is a subunit of NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I), plays a significant rule in oxidative stress and metabolic reprogramming in a range of cancerous malignancies. Recently, it has been proved that NDUFA9 can predict prognosis and immunological status in GBM. NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1 alpha subcomplex, 4-like 2 (NDUFA4L2) is a subunit of complex I either which is similar to NDUFA9. Researchers demonstrate that in addition to being significantly upregulated in GBM tissues and cells, increased NDUFA4L2 expression has been found to be a reliable indicator of overall patient survival. Relevant studies on GBM have frequently referred to NDUFA9, as the subunit of the complex I in mitochondria, the mechanism of NDUFA9 on GBM may to do with the activities of mitochondria, oxidative phosphorylation pathway, the electron transfer chain and the production of ROS. However, the specific mechanism of NDUFA9 on GBM still lacks relevant reports and is required for further exploration.

Authors: Qin Feilu , Lan Keying , Sun Yue
Published: December 2024

Today, cancer is still the key threaten to life, and CAFs are one of the mostly studied risk factor. This article reviews the mechanism of respiration of CAFS cells in cancer like Reverse Warburg Effect of CAFs, as well as the mechanism of TGF-β/Smad, the related diseases and corresponding drugs by targeting CAFs production. In tumor microenvironment(TME), CAFs are closely associated with the development, transfer and aggression of tumor cells. ‘Reverse Warburg Effect is one of the ways for CAFs to achieve metabolic cross-talk with tumor cells. Through oxidative glycolysis, CAFs can produce plenty of energy-rich substrate, like pyruvate, fat acid and lactate, those substrates are transported to mitochondria in tumor cells in order to produce many ATP by OXPHOS. Besides, CAFs transfer lactate in hypoxia by MCT4 and then MCT1 on tumor cells surface, which can support themselves. In addition, the TGF-β/Smad, the main pathway promoting the development of CAFs and tumor cells, is also dissected. By conducting a thorough analysis on the mechanism of TGF-β based malignant cells and CAFs production, the relevant drugs are introduced. Those findings can not only enhance our understanding of the complexity of tumor metabolism, but it also provides a theoretical basis for the development of new therapeutic strategies and potential targets.

Membrane allarmate. Lyotard, Lacan e la sensibilità contemporanea
Authors: Vizzardelli Silvia
Published: January 2025

There is a structural proximity between the concept of the sublime and that of anguish; a proximity that, however, does not prevent the scene from being very different in terms of the affects involved. With regard to structure, at stake is a field that involves the pulsating, differential simultaneity of absence and presence, death and life. The principle of mutual exclusion is replaced by the logic of contradictory inclusion.I will limit myself, in this context, to recounting a brief stretch of the history of the sublime, little travelled, in which the juxtaposition with anguish, a heterozygotic twin, brings to the fore the sameness of their structure - centred on the synchrony of opposites - and the inversion of the affects involved. The authors I will summon, in this brief stretch, are Jean-François Lyotard, as regards the sublime, and Jacques Lacan, as regards anguish.The theory of the sublime and that of anguish are frequently accompanied by the metaphorical evocation of membranes, tissue partitions. In what sense do the feeling of the sublime and the affection of anguish have to do with these tissue lacerations that, although belonging to the body, are, in truth, hors-corps? They are organs or parts of organs with such a slender structure as to be almost unreal, they are freed and go their own way, bearers of a pure life that slips and swirls, to the point of disquieting for a trait of immortality that they carry with them.
Dal «Comentum» al «Commento». Il volgarizzamento delle chiose petrine all’«Inferno» tràdito dal ms. Ashburnham App. Dantesca 2
Authors: Lorenzin Bruna
Published: December 2024

Il saggio è dedicato allo studio dell’unico volgarizzamento integrale oggi noto della prima redazione del Comentum di Pietro Alighieri, relato dal ms. Ashburnham Appendice Dantesca 2 della Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana di Firenze. L’analisi si concentra, in particolare, sul commento all’Inferno, di cui vengono per la prima volta indagati i rapporti con la fonte latina. A partire da una selezione di chiose ritenute esemplificative, si cerca di individuare in quale rivolo della tradizione latina si collochi la fonte del codice, per poi presentare le principali tipologie di intervento operate sul testo e forse mediate dal modello. In ultimo, viene valutata una possibile contaminazione del volgarizzamento tramite il ricorso al testo delle due redazioni seriori.

Paremiologia e retorica epistolare: il proverbio nel «Salut d’amor» provenzale e francese
Authors: Cerullo Speranza
Published: December 2024

Lo spoglio dei testi che compongono il corpus ad oggi ricostruito delle epistole d’amore trobadoriche o salutz d’amor documenta come l’uso del proverbio e dell’espressione sentenziosa sia saldamente attestato nella tradizione del genere, per quanto sia rimasto finora un aspetto poco o affatto studiato. L’articolo propone un’indagine preliminare sull’uso della communis sententia secondo la normativa dell’ars dictaminis prodotta fra XII e XIII secolo, retroterra erudito del genere provenzale (§ 1), con particolare riguardo ai manuali e ai modelli di epistolografia amorosa (§ 1.1); fornisce quindi un censimento strutturato dei proverbi e delle sentenze nei salutz occitanici (§ 4), analizzandone le caratteristiche formali, la connotazione retorica, i temi, fra registro popolare e matrice cortese (§ 2, 2.1, 2.2). L’indagine è quindi estesa al corpus dei saluts in lingua d’oïl (§ 3), nei quali il modello epistolografico sembra disarticolarsi e con esso anche strutture, invarianti tematico-retoriche e stilemi tipici del genere del salut, che appaiono meno vincolanti, a favore di un diffuso adattamento al modello narrativo, prevalente su quello epistolare. La contrazione evidente del numero di espressioni sentenziose e proverbiali nella tradizione francese del salut può quindi essere spiegata come effetto del depotenziamento dei marcatori stilistico-retorici dell’epistola.

Published: January 2025

In MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and other neurological illnesses, autophagy protein Beclin-1 is crucial. Self-eating, a critical neuroprotective function, is faulty; neurodegenerative illnesses have low Beclin-1 expression; hazardous protein clusters are not eliminated. This study investigates if Beclin-1 may target cell metabolism in an experimental MS model. This cross-sectional study examined Beclin-1, oxidative stress biomarkers, and pro-inflammatory cytokines in 100 MS patients and 100 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Quantifying Beclin-1's signaling pathway interactions required molecular docking. The study also examined how Beclin-1 overexpression affected disease onset, inflammation, and demyelination in MS patients (n=30). The study used an ANOVA test to evaluate data, with a significance threshold of p<0.05. In this study, MS patients had lower serum Beclin-1 concentrations (3.15±0.45 ng/ml) compared to the control group (5.02±0.60 ng/ml). Increased MDA (7.33±1.12 µM vs. 4.21±0.90 µM in the control group) and TNF-α levels (21.25±2.30pg/ml vs. 10.12±1.70 pg/ml in the control group). The MS patients with Beclin-1 overexpression demonstrated improved motor function, 25% less demyelination, and 15% less production of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-6 and IL-1β. Several computer studies demonstrated that Beclin-1 may bind to other autophagic pathway proteins and be effective in treatment. Beclin-1 shortage is a crucial component in MS and its restoration can minimize neuronal damage owing to defective autophagy and excessive inflammation. These facts indicate the need for a fresh understanding of Beclin-1-focused therapy in MS.

Authors: Salman Daud , Sanı Hamet Elhadji Bachir
Published: December 2024

This article examines the value of religious social capital in both the Republic of Niger and Nigeria. More specifically, it analyses the role of Islam in social cohesion, peace, and politics. The emphasis in this context on religious associations and leaders as well as the various activities they conduct. Moreover, the paper examines and analyses these activities and their impacts on social groups in both Niger and Nigeria, as well as the extension of social networks and interactions. Overall, this paper shows that there is a direct and close link between Islamic practice, peace and development in Niger and Nigeria, as has been demonstrated in several other countries (Senegal, Guinee). Indeed, far from being a simple religion, Islam is so deeply rooted in Niger and northern Nigeria society that it is confused with its culture and lifestyle. Islam is one of the rare values on which there is consensus amongst a significant proportion of Nigeriens and Nigerians.
Remifentanil versus Nitroglycerin for Controlled Hypotensive Anesthesia During Primary Open Rhinoplasty: A Comparative Study
Authors: Saber Hiwa Fateh , Rahman Ari Ibrahim
Published: December 2024

Background: Controlled hypotensive anesthesia is commonly utilized to reduce blood loss and provide a desirable surgical field during perioperative procedures, particularly in facial plastic operations. Objective: To assess the hypotensive effects of nitroglycerine and remifentanil for controlled hypotension anesthesia in primary open rhinoplasty. Methods: A prospective, comparative, randomized, double-blind study was carried out from June to October 2021 at Rizgary Teaching Hospital in Erbil, Iraq. Eighty patients were randomly divided into two groups and given either nitroglycerin or remifentanil to keep their mean arterial blood pressure between 50 and 60 mmHg. Heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, intraoperative blood loss, surgical field quality, and surgery duration are all measured and compared. Results: Patients in the nitroglycerin and remifentanil groups met the systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure objectives with similar results. However, there is a statistically significant difference in operation duration between the remifentanil and nitroglycerin groups (135.3 and 145.3 minutes, respectively). The heart rate differed significantly between the two groups. The remifentanil group had decreased intraoperative blood loss, a higher surgical field quality, and significantly greater surgeon satisfaction. Conclusions: Continuous infusion of nitroglycerine and remifentanil is a dependable and effective method for achieving controlled hypotension by reaching the target mean arterial pressure. Remifentanil outperforms nitroglycerin in terms of limiting blood loss, reducing surgical time, and maintaining superior hemodynamics (particularly heart rate).

Ahmad Sadali Perintis Seni Lukis Abstrak Indonesia
Authors: Sungkar Anna
Published: December 2024

Karya-karya Ahmad Sadali pada masa awal menunjukkan suatu persamaan dari segi bentuk dan isi dengan Ries Mulder, gurunya. Dimana Ries Mulder terpengaruh oleh Jacques Villon (1875-1963), yang banyak bermain-main dengan pola kubisme geometris demi membentuk figur atau alam benda yang dipadukan warna-warni pastel yang lembut. Namun dalam perkembangan waktu, pengaruh Ries Mulder mulai pudar, karya-karya Sadali di era tahun 60-an banyak mengikuti pola karya Nicolas de Stael (1914-1955) yang mengandung blok-blok warna dengan tekstur tebal membentuk citra lanskap. Mulai dekade 1970an, tema karya-karya Ahmad Sadali bergerak ke arah spiritualitas, dengan menampilkan simbol-simbol seperti Gunungan, huruf Alif, dan aksara Arab yang dipetik dari Al Quran. Karya-karya dekade itu banyak mengarah pada visual Antoni Tapies (1923-2012), Mark Rothko (1903-1970) dan Barnett Newman (1905-1970), dengan inovasi pada aksen prada dan pola gunungan untuk membuat karya abstrak Sadali terlihat cantik.

Authors: Balcı Kuru Esra , Ertuğrul Ömer
Published: December 2024

Ordu province is the leader in hazelnut production in Türkiye and therefore has an important potential in terms of hazelnut shells and husks. The aim of this study is to determine the biomass potential of the province of Ordu, to investigate the energy potential of hazelnut waste and to provide querryable database using geographic information systems. By collecting data on the geographical distribution of hazelnut production areas and their calculated potential for biomass and energy production in the province of Ordu, a database has been created that allows spatial queries. This database was visualized and analyzed through GeoMedia Professional 6.1. It was determined that the districts with the highest biomass production potential are the central province, Ünye and Fatsa, respectively. In addition, the energy potential was calculated at 2,321 GWh, which is significantly higher than the electricity consumption of the province of Ordu, which is 1,375 GWh. The results showed that hazelnut waste, which has low economic value, has a high potential for biomass and energy production. Using hazelnut waste as biomass in the region both promotes sustainable energy production and prevents dependence on fossil fuels by enabling the city to use clean energy sources.
Evaluating the Impact of Edge-Seal on the Performance of Double-Glass Solar Photovoltaic Modules
Authors: Genç Melikenur , Gök Abdülkerim
Published: December 2024

Solar energy is a vital component of the renewable energy landscape. Nevertheless, photovoltaic (PV) modules face numerous challenges during operation due to environmental stress factors, which can lead to various degradation issues such as delamination, encapsulant discoloration, corrosion of cell metallization, and potential-induced degradation. Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), despite being a prominent encapsulant material, is notably vulnerable to moisture. Upon degradation, EVA releases acetic acid, severely impacting the long-term performance of PV modules. This study investigates the effectiveness of using a polyisobutylene-based edge-seal to minimize moisture ingress in double-glass modules. One-cell mini-modules encapsulated with EVA, with and without edge-seal, are subjected to damp heat testing (85°C / 85% RH) for up to 5000 hours and their performance are evaluated though current-voltage characteristics. Mini-modules without edge-seal exhibit a significant 70% loss in power, primarily due to a 37% decrease in short-circuit current, a 56% decrease in fill factor, and a staggering 650% increase in series resistance. However, mini-modules with edge-seal see only a 33% loss in power, driven mainly by a 21% decrease in fill factor and a 76% increase in series resistance. The use of edge-seal does not completely prevent but effectively reduces moisture ingress and mitigates its detrimental effects on module performance. Additionally, the Network Structural Equation Modeling approach is applied to analyze current-voltage characteristics, enabling the identification of statistically significant relationships, the construction of degradation pathway diagrams, and the determination of key factors contributing to power degradation. This analysis reveals increased series resistance and reduced fill factor as primary causes of power degradation for both mini-module configurations. Although the encapsulant materials exhibit minimal degradation in optical, chemical, and thermo-chemical properties, the presence of moisture within the module construction can still cause corrosion of cell metallization. This results in a decline in power performance even without substantial acetic acid formation. This study highlights the critical importance of preventing moisture ingress to enhance the durability and reliability of PV modules, ensuring their optimal performance throughout their intended service lifetime.

In recent years, global concern about the preservation of agricultural products for usage and exports through drying has been outstanding. Solar Parabolic Trough Collectors (SPTC) are used to dry various agricultural products for effective moisture removal. A heat transfer fluid (HTF) flows through a receiver tube pipe that absorbs solar radiation reflected from the stainless-steel sheet surfaces of the SPTC. In order to reduce the heat losses, the pipe was linked through a flexible, thermally insulated cross-linked polyethene pipe to the copper tubes inside the drying chamber. The heat transfer analysis of the SPTC is essential to understand the thermal behavior and its performance during the drying process. This paper examined the heat exchanges developed in the designed concentrated-type solar dryer, and the heat transfer rates in the receiver tube and the drying chamber, as well as the heat transfer coefficients for the solar drying of ginger, were determined. The thermal analysis of the convective heat exchanges within the receiver tube and the drying chamber is presented. The heat transfer coefficients hRec and hDC for the convective heat transfer process in the receiver tube and the drying chamber were 1372.48W/m.K and 17.60W/m.K, respectively. The dryer’s thermal efficiency was 30%, showing considerable moisture removal from the ginger samples. The mean temperature difference between the drying chamber and the ambient showed a considerable increase of about +11oC. This resulted in considerable moisture removal, and the final moisture content achieved by the concentrated solar dryer for the ginger samples was 11.1%, compared to the 23.74% achieved by the open-air solar (OAS) drying method.

Published: December 2024

There is approximately 500,000 tonnes of potential end-of-life banknote waste worldwide, which is increasing by 2-3% per year. This waste consists of cotton and polymer-based banknotes printed on substrates whose raw materials are cotton and polypropylene, respectively. The vast majority of banknotes in circulation are cotton-based banknotes. End-of-life cotton banknotes, which are lignocellulosic biomass, are generally disposed of by landfill and incineration. Studies to reduce the environmental impact of these wastes to find more effective ways of using them is becoming increasingly important. Syngas, which can be used for the production of electricity, energy and chemicals is obtained by gasification of end-of-life cotton banknotes. In this study, DSC and FTIR analysis were performed as part of the characterization tests of the cotton-based banknote sample. As a result of the analysis, the sample was found to have characteristics similar to those of cotton. Within the scope of the investigation of thermal decomposition kinetics, activation energies were calculated as 134-171 kJ/mol by the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) methods. Experiments were performed in a fluidized-bed reactor at 800°C with an inlet H2O/O2 ratio of 25. The content of the producer gas formed during gasification was examined according to the maximum mole fraction achieved. In order to facilitate handling, storage and transportation and to improve fuel quality, the effect of torrefaction pre-treatment on the producer gas content was studied by conducting torrefaction to the cotton-based banknote sample at 250°C for 10 min. To overcome the disadvantages of plastic gasification in terms of operational sustainability, the cotton and polymer-based banknote samples were co-gasified. With the torrefaction pre-treatment, the mole fractions of H2, CO and CH4 increased, while the mole fraction of CO2 decreased. This finding revealed the effects of Boudouard, hydrogasification, water-gas and steam reformation reactions. With the co-gasification of cotton and polymer-based banknote samples, H2, CO and CO2 mole fractions decreased while CH4 mole fraction increased. This result showed that as the proportion of polymer-based banknote samples in the feedstock increased, the conversion efficiency decreased and the hydrogasification reaction became dominant.

Accidents involving construction machinery often result in injury and fatality. In this study, fatal work accidents involving construction machinery, which play an important role in the execution of work, in Türkiye between 2013 and 2018 are examined. The research utilized notifications made by workplaces to the Social Security Institution (SSI). The parameters used to statistically analyze the data were classified into three categories: accident time, the victim, and the cause of the accident. Based on the available data, the highest number of accidents occurred in 2017 with 23.03%, while September recorded the highest number of monthly accidents at 10%. Trucks were the most frequent construction machinery involved, accounting for 51.18% of all cases, and traffic accidents ranked first as the leading cause at 28.06%. This highlights the necessity of considering traffic accidents in workplace safety statistics and emphasizes the importance of traffic safety in ensuring occupational safety and health. Notably, truck accidents comprise more than half of all fatal incidents involving the 16 types of construction machinery analyzed.

Earthquakes, whose physical, economic, psychological, and social damages can last for many years, are of vital importance for Türkiye, which is located in the most active earthquake zone that causes many earthquakes in the world. The North Anatolian Fault (NAF) is one of Türkiye's most important tectonic elements as it is the world’s fastest-moving right-lateral and strike-slip active fault zone consisting of many segments. The recent 5.8 magnitude 2019 Silivri earthquake, which occurred in the part of the NAF zone crossing the Marmara Sea, is an indicator that earthquake activity continues in the region. Aftershocks play a crucial role in seismicity research and seismic hazard assessments in terms of providing data and usable information in the examination of seismic dynamics with the changes observed in their time-dependent behavior and regional distribution. In this study, the aftershocks of the Silivri earthquake were examined as a natural laboratory using nonlinear analysis methods. Within the scope of the study, aftershocks of the Silivri earthquake were analyzed with a hybrid artificial neural network as well as different neural network structures, and for this purpose, data from 361 aftershocks with a magnitude greater than 1.5 in the year following the earthquake were used.
UKnow-Net: Knowledge-Enhanced U-Net for Improved Retinal Vessel Segmentation
Authors: Kuş Zeki
Published: December 2024

Retinal vessel segmentation plays a critical role in diagnosing and managing ophthalmic and systemic diseases, as abnormalities in retinal vasculature can indicate disease progression. Traditional manual segmentation by expert ophthalmologists is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to variability, underscoring the need for automated methods. While deep learning approaches like U-Net have advanced retinal vessel segmentation, they often struggle to generalize across diverse datasets due to differences in image acquisition techniques, resolutions, and patient demographics. To address these challenges, I propose UKnow-Net, a knowledge-enhanced U-Net architecture designed to improve retinal vessel segmentation across multiple datasets. UKnow-Net employs a multi-step process involving knowledge distillation and enhancement techniques. First, I train four specialized teacher networks separately on four publicly available retinal vessel segmentation datasets—DRIVE, CHASE_DB1, DCA1, and CHUAC—allowing each to specialize in the unique features of its respective dataset. These teacher networks generate pseudo-labels representing their domain-specific knowledge. We then train a student network using the ensemble of pseudo-labels from all teacher networks, effectively distilling the collective expertise into a unified model capable of generalizing across different datasets. Experiments demonstrate that UKnow-Net outperforms traditional handcrafted networks (such as U-Net, UNet++, and Attention U-Net) and several state-of-the-art models in key performance metrics, including sensitivity, specificity, F1 score, and Intersection over Union (IoU). Specifically, our two variants, UKnowNet-A and UKnowNet-B, show well performance; UKnowNet-A, trained solely on pseudo-labels, achieved higher sensitivity across all datasets, indicating a superior ability to detect true positives, while UKnowNet-B, which combines pseudo-labels with ground truth annotations, achieved balanced precision and recall, leading to higher F1 scores and IoU metrics. The integration of pseudo-labels effectively transfers the collective expertise of the teacher networks to the student network, enhancing generalization and robustness. I aim to ensure fair comparison and reproducibility in future research by publicly sharing our source code and model weights.
