Authors: TARASOV S. V. , KHOMYAKOVA I. P.
Published: November 2024

This article presents the results of a study on the indicators of personal maturity of full-time and part-time students. Personal maturity is a complex psychological construct, thanks to which an individual is able to control his/her life activity as a whole. This is a dynamic phenomenon that develops under the influence of not only external but also internal factors. The study revealed differences not only in the general level of personal maturity of students of different forms of education, but also in its individual indicators, such as assertiveness and modality of socio-perceptual attitudes. The obtained diagnostic data can be used in the work of a psychologist with students on issues of personal maturity.

„Du wirst so verhandelt“: Epistemische Vulnerabilität in musikalischen Bildungsprozessen
Authors: Saner Philipp , Hürlemann Seraina , Kämpf Rudolf
Published: November 2024

Der vorliegende Beitrag problematisiert basierend auf biographischen Interviews mit Lehrpersonen ein mangelndes Bewusstsein für die Situiertheit musikalischen Wissens. Ausgehend von der erhöhten Vulnerabilität, die mit der zentralen Rolle des Körpers in musikpädagogischen Situationen einherzugehen scheint, wird argumentiert, dass die rekonstruierten Vulnerabilitätserfahrungen nicht in erster Linie auf die Gefahr verweisen, körperlich verletzt zu werden. Vulnerabel werden die Lehrenden und Lernenden im Musikunterricht viel mehr in ihrem musikalischen Wissen, das in der Analyse wiederum als ein verkörpertes Selbst- und Weltwissen erkennbar wird. Der Beitrag analysiert musikalisches Handeln als epistemische Praxis und fordert eine vermehrte kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der Situiertheit nichtpropositionaler Wissensformen in der Aus- und Weiterbildung von Lehrpersonen.

Investigating the origin of Automatic Rhodopsin Modeling outliers using the microbial Gloeobacter rhodopsin as testbed
Authors: Barreiro-Lage Dario , Ledentu Vincent , D’Ascenzi Jacopo , Huix-Rotllant Miquel , Ferré Nicolas
Published: November 2024

The Automatic Rhodopsin Modeling (ARM) approach is a computational workflow devised for the automatic build up of hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) models of wild-type rhodopsins and mutants, with the purpose of establish- ing trends in their photophysical and photochemical properties. Despite the success of ARM for accurately describing the visible light absorption maxima of many rhodopsins, for few cases, called outliers, it might lead to large deviations with respect to exper- iments. Applying ARM to Gloeobacter Rhodopsin (GR), a microbial rhodopsin with important applications in optogenetics, we analyze the origin of such outliers in the absorption energies obtained for GR wild-type and mutants at neutral pH, with a total root mean square deviation (RMSD) of 0.42 eV with respect to the experimen- tal GR excitation energies. Having discussed the importance and the uncertainty of one particular amino-acid pKa , namely histidine at position 87, we propose and test several modifications to the standard ARM protocol: (i) improved pKa predictions along with the consideration of several protonation microstates, (ii) attenuation of the opsin electrostatic potential at short-range, (iii) substitution of the state-average com- plete active space (CAS) electronic structure method by its state-specific approach, and (iv) complete replacement of CAS with mixed-reference spin-flip time-dependent density functional theory (MRSF-TDDFT). The best RMSD result we obtain is 0.2 eV combining the protonation of H87 and using MRSF/CAMH-B3LYP.

KNIME Workflows for Chemoinformatic Characterization of Chemical Databases
Authors: Ramírez-Márquez Carlos D. , Medina-Franco José L.
Published: November 2024

In chemoinformatics, chemical databases have great importance since their main objective is to store and organize the chemical structures of molecules and their properties, from basic information such as chemical structure to more complex like molecular fingerprints or other types of calculated or experimental descriptors and biological activity. However, this data can only be utilized in projects to identify novel therapeutic molecules or other fields through their correct characterization and analysis. In this Application Note, we compiled five workflows within the open-source data analytics and visualization platform KNIME that can be implemented for the chemoinformatic characterization of databases. To illustrate the application of the workflows, we used BIOFACQUIM, a compound database of natural products isolated and characterized in Mexico.
Data-Driven Improvement of Local Hybrid Functionals: Neural-Network-Based Local Mixing Functions and Power-Series Correlation Functionals
Authors: Wodyński Artur , Glodny Kilian , Kaupp Martin
Published: November 2024

Local hybrid functionals (LHs) are a modern class of density functionals that use a real-space position-dependent admixture of exact exchange (EXX), governed by a local mixing function (LMF). While many model LMFs have been proposed and evaluated over the past 10-20 years, their systematic construction has been hampered by a lack of exact physical constraints on their valence behavior. Here we exploit a data-driven approach and train a new type of "n-LMF" as a relatively shallow neural network. The input features of this n-LMF are of meta-GGA character, while the W4-17 atomization-energy and BH76 reaction-barrier test sets have been used for training. Simply replacing the widely used "t-LMF" of the LH20t functional by the n-LMF provides the LH24n-B95 functional. Augmented by DFT-D4 dispersion corrections, LH24n-B95-D4 remarkably improves the WTMAD-2 value for the large GMTKN55 test suite of general main-group thermochemistry, kinetics and noncovalent interactions (NCIs) from 4.55 kcal/mol to 3.49 kcal/mol. As we found the limited flexibility of the B95c correlation functional to disfavor much further improvement on NCIs, we proceeded to replace it by an optimized B97c-type power-series expansion. This gives the LH24n functional. LH24n-D4 gives a WTMAD-2 value of 3.10 kcal/mol, the so far lowest value of a rung 4 functional in self-consistent calculations. The new functionals perform moderately well for organometallic transition-metal energetics while leaving room for further data-driven improvements in that area. Compared to complete neural-network functionals like DM21, the present more tailored approach to train just the LMF in a flexible but well-defined human-designed LH functional retains the possibility of graphical LMF analyses to gain deeper understanding. We find that both the present n-LMF and the recent x-LMF suppress the so-called gauge problem of local hybrids without adding a calibration function as required for other LMFs like the t-LMF. LMF plots show that this can be traced back to large LMF values in the small-density region between the interacting atoms in NCIs for n- and x-LMFs and low values for the t-LMF. We also find that the trained n-LMF has relatively large values in covalent bonds without deteriorating binding energies. The current approach enables fast and efficient routine self-consistent calculations using n-LMFs in Turbomole. Further routes toward improved functionals are delineated.
Atomically Precise [Cu23H4(SC7H7)18(PPh3)6] Nanocluster: Structural Integration of Johnson Solids through a Cu(0) Center and Electrocatalytic Functionality
Authors: Biswas Sourav , Shingyochi Yamato , Kamiyama Maho , Ogami Masaki , Song Haohong , Kawawaki Tokuhisa , Jiang De-en , Negishi Yuichi
Published: November 2024

In recent years, the synthesis of copper (Cu) nanoclusters (NCs) has attracted significant attention due to their promis-ing catalytic applications. However, the high reactivity of Cu(0) often renders these NCs unstable, limiting the synthe-sis primarily to Cu(I)-based NCs. This limitation also restricts the utility of these NCs in catalysis. Here, we present a synthetic strategy to fabricate a stable Cu(0)-containing, [Cu₂₃H₄(SC₇H₇)₁₈(PPh₃)₆] NC, where the Cu(0) center is atomically protected by two Cu(I)-based Johnson solids and stabilized by the additional Cu(I) units, thiolate ligands and interstitial hydrides. Although neutral PPh₃ ligands are present, their attachment is positioned away from the Cu(0) center, primarily serving to stabilize the overall geometry and prevent further structural distortions. This ro-bust architectural framework enables the NC to maintain exceptional structural stability and catalytic performance in electrochemical CO₂ reduction reactions, facilitating a consistent selectivity for the end product over time. Additionally, theoretical calculations corroborate the experimental findings, confirming a preference for HCOOH formation over CO. This is attributed to a lower limiting potential for the formation of *HCOO compared to *COOH at the active site, which favors HCOOH as the primary product.

The work presented herein outlines the ongoing structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies centered around a potent, efficacious, and selective activator of the GIRK1/2 channel. Optimization studies centered around the pyrazole privileged scaffold, the N-1-position of the pyrazole and the right-hand ether. The work confirmed the necessity of the pyrazole, and we have identified a more potent GIRK1/2 activator with ~12-fold selectivity against GIRK1/4. We also report the metabolite ID study which shows the instability of the amide bond as the major site of metabolism (non-NADPH mediated). This work discovered another highly potent and selective GIRK1/2 activator. As preclinical proof of concept studies in rodents, the lead 3 has demonstrated that direct activation of GIRK1/2 channels can produce potent analgesic effects on neuropathic pain model in mice induced by spared nerve injury. In addition, 3 was active in an inflammatory pain model of osteoarthritis (OA) induced by a single intra-articular (IA) injection of monosodium-iodoacetate (MIA) in the knee of the rat. Our studies shed light into a role of direct activation of GIRK1/2 channels in modulation of chronic pain.

Accurately predicting the diverse bound-state conformations of small molecules is crucial for successful drug discovery, particularly when detailed protein-ligand interactions are unknown. Established tools exist, but exploring the vast conformational space efficiently remains a challenge. This work introduces Moltiverse, a novel protocol using enhanced sampling molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for conformer generation. The extended adaptive biasing force (eABF) algorithm combined with metadynamics, guided by a single collective variable (RDGYR), efficiently navigates the conformational landscape of each molecule. Benchmarked against established software like RDKit, CONFORGE, ConfGenX, Torsional diffusion, and Conformator, Moltiverse demonstrates comparable accuracy while achieving competitive performance in several test cases. Using eight quantitative metrics and statistical analysis, we present a systematic ranking of conformer generation algorithms and provide recommendations for their improvement based on our findings. We introduce the Cofactorv1 dataset, a complementary resource for conformer generator evaluation. Unlike traditional datasets with thousands of single-conformer molecules, Cofactorv1 dataset features only seven small molecule cofactors but with hundreds to thousands of experimental conformers per molecule (sourced from the PDB). This diversity, encompassing 15-29 rotatable bonds, poses a great challenge for conformer generation benchmarks. Cofactorv1 is a complementary dataset that serves as a valuable resource for developing and evaluating conformer generation methods like Moltiverse, pushing the boundaries of accuracy and diversity in this relevant field.

Riga-Fede Disease – A Review
Authors: . Abhishek , Gupta Megha
Published: November 2024

The term Riga-Fede disease has been used historically to describe traumatic ulceration that occurs on the ventral surface of tongue in neonates and infants. It is most often associated with natal and neonatal teeth in newborns. The lesion begins as an ulcerated area on the ventral surface of the tongue with repeated trauma. As a result there is difficulty in feeding and suckling for the infant.Failure to diagnose and treat this lesion can result in dehydration and inadequate intake for the infant. Treatment should begin conservatively and should focus on eliminating the source of trauma. Aclose association between a pediatrician and pedodontist i.e. medical and dental specialties is required for the early diagnosis and prompt treatment of the lesion.Further an important aspect is that this lesion may be the initial presentation for some serious underlying medical problems therefore it is imperative to review the pertinent medical and dental literature.nbsp

Authors: K.B Vinitha , Sangur Rajashekar
Published: November 2024

Molars are often the most commonly lost teeth in the oral cavity owing to their complex root morphology and presence of furcations. Periodontal diseases involving the furcations make it difficult for the patients to maintain proper oral hygiene. In severe periodontal diseases the treatment may involve sectioning and removal of part of the multi rooted tooth and salvaging the other portion. This article gives an overview of various stages of furcation involvement in maxillary and mandibular molars and the respective treatment modalities followed. Also reports some of the cases where periodontally compromised teeth were salvaged by techniques like hemisection and premolarization. The restoration of such a tooth should provide and allow easy maintenance of oral hygiene by the patients for the longevity of the teeth.

Published: November 2024

The styloid process is a slender osseous projection derived from the second branchial arch or Reichartrsquos cartilage. The apex of the styloid process is connected with the lesser cornu of hyoid bone via stylohyoid ligament. This ligament represents from embryological viewpoint the continuation of the apex of styloid process termed the stylohyoid chain. The normal length of the styloid process ranges from 2 to 4.77 cm most are less than 3cm. The elongated styloid process ESP can be presumed if the styloid process or the ossification of the stylohyoid ligament shows an overall length in excess of 3cm.Studies in India have estimated that in 19.4 ndash 52.1 of the general population there was radiographic evidence of an elongated styloid process the highest 52.1 being recorded in the region of Mathura north India. The symptoms and clinical signs associated with an elongated styloid process ESP were first described by Eagle in 1937 and were later called Eaglersquos syndrome or stylalgia. This is a case series of a retrospective study conducted at the Vydehi Institute of Dental Sciences amp Research Center Bangalore Karnataka India wherein 8 patients who were surgically treated for Eaglersquos syndrome.

Role Of Endodontic Biofilms
Authors: Viswanath Deepak , MLV Prabhuji
Published: November 2024

Biofilms are highly structured hydrated microbial communities containing sessile cells embedded in a self-produced extracellular polymeric matrix containing polysaccharides DNA and other components. The formation of biofilms might facilitate certain survival and virulence characteristics under some situations. Several mechanisms have been postulated in the biofilm antimicrobial resistance which includes slow penetration of the antimicrobial agent into the biofilm changes in the chemical micro-environment within the biofilm leading to zones of slow or no growth adaptive stress responses and presence of a small population of extremely resistant ldquopersisterrdquo cells. Biofilm biology has become an expanding field of research and the knowledge accumulated suggests that organisms growing in biofilms develop properties different to those dwelling in the planktonic stage. This review article covers the concept of biofilms and its role in endodontic infections.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the causes of the unsatisfactory condition and death of pine crops in the forest fund of the Republic of Karelia. The data on the assessment of the state of forest crops in the predominant forest types in the Karelian north-taiga region are presented. The objects of the study are pine forest crops of different ages in conditions of lingonberry and blueberry forest types. A complex of works was carried out at the research sites to assess the condition of pine forest crops. During the accounting work, the survival rate, safety and basic indicators for the transfer of forest crops to forested lands were evaluated. The species composition and structure of the formed young plants in the areas of forest crops were taken into account. It was found that the proportion of dead forest crops from the total area of the surveyed sites is 77% in the conditions of the blueberry type of forest and 8.4% in the lingonberry type of forest. Forest crops of unsatisfactory condition were found on 3.1% of the area in the conditions of the blueberry type of forest, 2.7% – in the conditions of the lingonberry type of forest. The composition of young trees in areas of forest crops of unsatisfactory condition includes 49% of pine in the cranberry type of forest and 26% in the blueberry type of forest. The proportion of pine trees of dead forest crops was 34 and 12%, respectively. The number of pine forest crops in such areas is 256 and 232 pcs/ha, respectively. The projective coverage and species composition of the living soil cover were recorded in the areas of forest crops. 6 species with a projective coverage of more than 10% have been identified

For the considered hydrogeological conditions of the Kulikovo Pole museum complex, located in the Kimovsky district of the Tula region, there is no necessary design of the drainage system, the method of its construction and the calculation method to ensure the drainage of groundwater from the basement. A vertical drainage design and calculation method necessary for the normal operation of the Kulikovo Pole museum complex were proposed. The purpose of the work is to develop a drainage design and substantiate a method for calculating the drainage of deep basements using the example of the Kulikovo Pole museum complex. The proposed design of vertical drainage makes it possible to increase the reliability of the drainage system due to the installation of a filter bed and a geotextile winding. The calculation of the proposed vertical drainage design consists of determining the following positions: the radius of the depression curve (the influence of drainage away from the basement of the building); drainage flow rate; water inflow into the drain; reducing the pressure in the middle between the row drains, selecting vertical drainage pumps. The proposed drainage design, the method of its construction (a patent for the invention was received) and the calculation method were tested when draining the deep basements of the Kulikovo Pole museum complex. The created system drains excess groundwater and eliminates the “barrage” effect. It is noted that the construction of drainage systems currently underway requires careful consideration of the experience of design and operation of drainage systems of the previous period and the use of new promising, cost-effective solutions.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of biomeliorants on soil electrical conductivity and salinity under the arid conditions of the Syrian Arab Republic. Field experiments were conducted using compost, biopreparations based on Bacillus bacteria, and their combination. Electrical conductivity was measured at four depths: 0-25 cm, 26-50 cm, 51-75 cm and 76-100 cm. The methodology included the use of graphite electrode cells and a conductometer calibrated with standard potassium chloride (KCl) solutions. Soil samples were collected from various depths, dried at 105°C, sieved through a 2 mm sieve, mixed with distilled water in a 1:2 ratio, stirred, and left for 24 hours. Three measurements of electrical conductivity were then taken for each sample. The results showed a significant reduction in soil electrical conductivity with the application of biomeliоrants particularly at the 0-25 cm depth. Two-factor ANOVA and Tukey’s test confirmed statistically significant differences between the experimental treatments. The combination of compost and biopreparations demonstrated the greatest effectiveness in reducing electrical conductivity. These findings indicate the high efficiency of biomeliorants in improving soil conditions and reducing salinity, which is crucial for sustainable agriculture in arid regions. The introduction of biomeliorants helped reduce the content of soluble salts and improve soil structure, ultimately leading to increased crop yields.

The rules for the use of reservoir water resources need to be constantly updated, considering a significant number of factors affecting the effectiveness of management. Anthropogenic changes in morphometric functions, partial siltation of dead volume, and changes in basic hydrological characteristics have a significant impact on reservoir parameters and flow regulation regime. Justification of the regulatory regime remains an urgent and traditionally difficult engineering task of the IRP, discussed at professional meetings and in scientific publications. The article discusses a methodological approach based on the introduction of a given control algorithm into the process of assigning an interval request to the reservoir. In this case, the request is formulated as a two-parameter power function of the predicted resource for the estimated time interval (month). The degree indicator and the relative length of the range of uninterrupted water requirements coverage are the arguments of the query function. Nomograms illustrating the influence of the degree indicator on the outline of the dependence of requirements on the reservoir are constructed. In our opinion, this approach significantly reduces the Pareto set, excluding a significant part of the set of formal optima. The algorithm of the proposed model is focused on two-criteria optimization, where the relative values of the total annual water output and the sum of the relative interval ordinates of water consumption are considered as criteria. The unified functional is formed by linear convolution of criteria. The model was tested on the example of the resources of the Zhizdra River for a series of two low-water years. In the process of balance modeling and optimization, Excel tools are used, including “solution search” and VBA procedures. It is noted that it is necessary to use more powerful optimization algorithms for calculations based on multiyear hydrological series.

The article presents data on fattening young sheep of different genotypes obtained as a result of crossing ewes of the North Caucasian breed with rams of meat breeds of foreign selection. The introduction into the feeding diet of young sheep of different genotypes of starter feed containing milk replacer in an amount of 5.0% of the feed weight during early weaning from ewes (at 3 months) had a positive effect on the consumption of feed nutrients: in crossbred rams of the North Caucasian genotype, meatwool × Ile-de-France (SK × IDF) dry matter ingestion was higher than that of peers of purebred North Caucasian animals (NC) by 0.03 kg, crossbreds of North Caucasian × Charolais (SK × Sh) by 0.06 kg or 8.4 and 18.4%, respectively, for metabolic energy - 8.2 and 17.9%, for crude protein - 8.1 and 17.6%. A positive effect of the use of starter feed in the diet on the growth rate of young sheep killed at an early age was revealed. The absolute and average daily increases in live weight were highest at the age of 5.5 months in crosses of the SK × IDF genotype than in analogues of purebred SK and SK × Sh crosses by 6.1 and 8.3% and 5.9 and 8.5%. The results of the control slaughter showed that in terms of slaughter weight, rams of the SK × IF genotype were superior to peers of purebred SK and SK × Sh crosses by 6.4 and 7.3%, in meat-pulp weight by 11.1 and 12.1%, and meatiness coefficient by - 0. 40 and 0.43 abs. units.

Authors: Lu-Ibarra Gilberto Alfredo
Published: November 2024

El enoturismo es una alternativa para diversificar fuentes de ingresos en zonas rurales que tienen las condiciones climáticas favorables para cultivar uva de vino. Como tema de investigación, este ha sido estudiado desde mediados de la década de los noventa, pero en México se comenzó a publicar sobre él casi veinte años después. En este estudio de tipo descriptivo se resalta la creciente producción de artículos sobre enoturismo en este país. Además, se identifica a los investigadores más destacados en este campo, se enlistan las principales revistas donde se han publicado artículos, se analiza la distribución de las investigaciones por región (principalmente Baja California y Querétaro) y se revela que se enfocan principalmente en el producto enoturístico. Se sugiere que hay un amplio espacio para que futuros trabajos exploren otras líneas de investigación del enoturismo en las diversas regiones vinícolas de la república mexicana.
