Text Summarization Using Machine Learning Algorithm
Authors: Dr. Vidyagouri B H  , BibiSadiqa M D
Published: September 2022

In the age of technology, data is critical. The data on the internet is formless and poorly organized. The concept of text summarization is introduced in order to convert data summaries. Text summarization is the process of extracting useful information from raw data without diluting the main theme of the data. Today’s readers must contend with task of reading comments, reviews, news articles, blogs and other forms of informal and noisy communication. It is difficult to retrieve the correct gist of the gist, which is required by all readers. To achieve the benefits of both extractive and abstractive summarization, the proposed approach combines TF-TDF-TR(Term Frequency – Inverse Document Frequency – Text Rank) as an unsupervised learning algorithm and the seq2seq (Sequence to Sequence) model as a supervised learning algorithm. In terms of ROUGE score, the proposed TFRSP approach outperforms existing text summarization methods, resulting in high summary accuracy.

Authors: Philomina Pomaah Ofori  , Adelaide Oduro-Asante
Published: September 2022

The advent of social media platforms has brought various opportunities, and among them is social commerce. The platforms have created a great avenue for users and business owners to interact. This study empirically tests the influence of extraversion, social commerce satisfaction, relational contracts, and word-of-mouth intention on social media users’ decisions towards social media purchases. The data for the study was collected using a structured questionnaire, and 210 valid responses were analysed using SmartPLS 3.3. The findings of the study indicated that social commerce satisfaction (SOCSAT) and extraversion (EXTRA) significantly affect how consumers perceive relational contracts (RECO). Furthermore, extraversion and relational contracts were significant predictors of consumer word-of-mouth intention (WOMI). Social commerce satisfaction and word-of-mouth intention positively contribute to predicting consumers' social media purchase adoption (SOPURCA). This study adds to the literature on social commerce and consumer personality traits.

Introduction. In the post-pandemic period, when all universities are switching to full–time education, the problem of the meaning and place of virtual laboratory work (hereinafter referred to as VLR) in physics at a technical university has arisen in a new way. The following questions have become relevant: about the frequency of the use of different types of VLR in universities in Russia and abroad; about the effectiveness of their use for the formation of practical and intellectual experimental skills; about methods and means of training that allow to increase the effectiveness of the formation of experimental skills when performing VLR in physics. Materials and methods. Our research is based on the methodology of conducting a physical experiment and the requirements of digital learning. The methods of analysis of modern sources on the problem of the use of VLR in physics, questioning of teachers and testing of students on the problem of the formation of experimental skills when conducting VLR in physics in technical universities were used. The questionnaire was attended by physics teachers of MGUPP and the National Research University "MPEI". Testing was conducted among students of 1-2 courses of the named universities. Results. The most common types of VLR are VLR animations and VLR videos and the frequency of their use in technical universities. It was found that the frequency of using VRL animations is 24%, and VRL videos – 53%. It is proved that VLR animations with an interactive component make it possible to effectively form the practical and intellectual skills of students in laboratory classes. To strengthen the independence of students when performing VLR, methods of using interactive tests and using Excel calculation tables are proposed. In the Moodle environment, tests for 15 VLRs have been developed, an example of a test for VLR "Light Interference" is given. 10 Excel calculation tables have been created to monitor the results of laboratory work by students. Such tables for the VLR "Ohm's Law" and "Determination of the Poisson ratio by the Reichardt method" are given in the article. Conclusion. The prospects for further research include the creation of electronic lecture notes and their inclusion together with interactive tests and calculation tables in a demonstration and information complex on general physics.

Authors:   Petrozavodsk State University, Borzova Elena V. , Shemanaeva Maria A. ,   Petrozavodsk State University
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The formation of universal competences (flexible skills) is an imperative of the modern education system, while foreign language proficiency is one of the key competences of a modern specialist. A foreign language as a subject has great potential for the interconnected development of both subject and meta-subject, universal competences. The research purpose is to analyze the textbooks and online courses that are actively used by university teachers and evaluate the structure of tasks used and their potential for the interconnected formation of intercultural competence and soft skills. Methodology and methods. Twenty-one teachers of Petrozavodsk State University took part in the survey. Criteria based on the framework of intercultural competence and soft skills were developed to evaluate learning materials. Based on the proposed criteria, six groups of tasks were identified that contribute to the interconnected development of intercultural competence and flexible skills (culturological materials; tasks for critical thinking development; tasks for information analysis and interpretation; tasks based on students’ experience; tasks for generating one’s own ideas and products; tasks for the interaction (in pairs, groups) and creation of a joint product). Results. The study showed that 85.7% of foreign language teachers of Petrozavodsk State University (Russian Federation) agree that the development of intercultural competence and soft skills is possible and necessary. However, only 42.1% of the respondents are satisfied with the quantity and quality of tasks offered in textbooks. Moreover, all respondents use additional tasks and 95.2% do it regularly or often. The analysis of the textbooks confirmed that the respondents have reason to be dissatisfied with the quantity and quality of tasks. Only 19%-25% of the tasks offered in textbooks and/or online courses can be used to develop universal competences and intercultural competence. A more detailed analysis of the tasks revealed that the least presented were tasks for creating one's own product (individually) and group tasks for creating a group product. Conclusion. The results obtained allowed to develop a classification of tasks to be used in foreign language classes at a university for the interconnected development of subject and meta-subject competences. The formulations of tasks for achieving integrated results in foreign language education were proposed.

Published: September 2022

Introduction. The development of students’ collocational competence is one of the main goals of foreign language teaching in a linguistic university. Achieving this goal is possible through the use of corpora. However, the implementation of the methods for the development of students’ collocational competence based on corpora requires the selection of teaching content and the development of learning stages that combine classroom and distant, online and offline learning forms and allow students to work independently with the data of linguistic corpora. The purpose of the study is to develop methods for the development of students’ collocational competence based on corpora. Materials and methods. The study involved 2nd year students (N=44) studying “Linguistics” (profile: “Theory and Methods of Teaching Foreign Languages and Cultures”) and “Pedagogical Education” (profile: “English Language”) programmes at Derzhavin Tambov State University (Russian Federation). In order to test the methods effectiveness for the experimental group, a selection of collocations was carried out and a hybrid learning methods was developed, which includes project activities (classroom and distant) and consists of three stages. Participants in the control group studied a practical English course using traditional printed teaching aids. The subject of control was students’ collocational competence. To process the obtained results, Student’s t-test was used. Research results. The study shows that both teaching methods are quite effective for the development of collocational competence of linguistic university students (control group: t = 12.82, p ≤ 0.005; experimental group: t = 15.64, p ≤ 0.005). At the same time, statistical processing of data when comparing the results of the experimental cut between the control and experimental groups proved the effectiveness of the author’s methods of teaching collocations based on corpora (t = 2.54, p ≤ 0.005). Conclusion. The novelty of the study lies in the formulation of methods for the development of students’ collocational competence based on corpora, which consist of three stages and includes classroom and distant, online and offline forms of education. The results obtained can be used in the development of methods for a foreign language teaching in general and lexical competence in particular on the basis of corpora, as well as in the development of methods for foreign language teaching based on other modern ICTs.

Introduction. The relevance of creating this methodology is due to the need to obtain an objective “portrait” of a modern preschooler aged 3-4 (36-51 months). The presented methodology covers all aspects of children’s development in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education, in contrast to labor-intensive methods aimed at assessing individual components of development. Materials and methods. In the diagnostics, psychophysiological methods were used to assess attention, visual and auditory memory, visual-spatial perception, speech, voluntary regulation of activity and some indicators of physical development. Results. As a result of the development and testing of a comprehensive diagnostic methodology in several regions of the Russian Federation, specialists in preschool educational organizations have a diagnostic tool that allows them to “lead” one child from the beginning of his stay in an organization to entering school. This takes into account the continuity of tasks at different ages, since the presented methodology, which allows assessing the development of children aged 3-4, is an adapted version of diagnosing the development of preschool children aged 5-6 and 6-7. This makes it possible to trace the development of certain functions in a child aged 3-7 and map his individual development. As an example, the results of diagnostics of two children and recommendations for planning an individual trajectory of their further development were given. Conclusion. The uniqueness of this methodology lies in its accessibility for a wide range of specialists working in preschool educational organizations (preschool teachers, psychologists, speech therapists). Diagnostic results are easily communicated to parents. Along with the possibility of a comprehensive assessment of individual characteristics of the development of each child, the obtained results can be used for effective interaction of all adults surrounding the child.

The problem and the aim of the study. Training of specialists in informatization of education involves formation of competences in development of software tools and automated systems and development of the foreign language communicative competence. Formation of appropriate qualities in the conditions of higher education is complicated by a number of problems. The authors propose to organize project activities to create dialogue programs (training bots) to improve foreign language training of future specialists. Research methods. The construction of a chat bot takes place during teamwork and foreign language communication. The authors' testing is carried out, which includes checking knowledge of syntax, vocabulary and grammar, skills of professionally oriented communication and digital skills. The experimental study was carried out at Vyatka State University during the study of the discipline "Foreign Language", "Development and Use of Computer Games in Education". 43 first- and second-year students of the training program 44.03.01 Pedagogical education (Master's degree programme) were involved in foreign language communication with the support of automated systems. The average age of the respondents was 25 (90% female and 10% male). When constructing chat bots, the BorisBot resource is used. Fisher's test was used to find out statistically significant differences. Results. The students studied services for creating chat bots, the didactic potential and functionality of the dialogue programs. The students of the experimental group used them to do professionally oriented and foreign language communication tasks. Statistically significant differences were revealed in the changes φCRIT=1.64<φEMP=2.514. Conclusion. The features of the presented version of using chat bots when teaching a foreign language are described: teamwork, using templates and scripts, choosing project topics. The problematic questions are formulated, the answers to which make it possible to determine the directions of work on designing chat bots: discussing the development goal and didactic goal, modeling scenarios of foreign language interaction, etc.
The impact of educational environment of the pedagogical university on the pedagogue’s professiogenesis
Authors:   Moscow Pedagogical State University, Kozilova Lidia V. , Chvyakin Vladimir A. ,   Moscow Polytechnic University
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The need to implement the Global action plan 2030 in the sphere of education, as well as the preparation of a new UNESCO’s Futures of Education global initiative (until 2050), have brought the problems of professiogenesis of university teachers to the forefront. The radical transformation of educational activity conditions imposes radically new requirements for professional and pedagogical self-development and professiogenesis in general. The aim of the study is to identify the specific features of educational environment of a pedagogical university and its impact on pedagogue’s professiogenesis. Materials and methods. The survey participants were represented by faculty members (68 persons) as well as the students of Moscow Pedagogical State University (72 persons). The questioning was carried out remotely with the use of Google Forms. The descriptive method (descriptive approach) was used, which is based on analytical descriptive methodology and, as applied to pedagogical research, provides information of evidently explanatory, though not prescriptive, nature. Results. It was found out that the students disapproved (76%) of the practice of simplifying the learning process at the university. Such attitudes of students towards the level of complexity of educational activities can be considered as one of the criteria of educational environment at a pedagogical university. The students consider the ability to comprehend and appreciate every student (92%) and to build trusting relations with students not only in the classroom, but also in social networks (76%) as important professional qualities of a teacher. Such parameters can be treated as a kind of humanitarian competence since they reflect the humanism of the educational environment and are an important characteristic of it, according to the students. Conclusion. A certain shift of activity towards the learners is observed in the structure of modern subject-to-subject communication. This is expressed in the need to take the students’ demand for high-quality education into account, since the functional characteristics of professiogenesis at a pedagogical university include not only the content of professiogenesis as a process of teacher’s self-development, but also the needs of learners (future educators).

Published: September 2022

У статті розглянуто прийняття управлінських рішень як процес, проаналізовано підходи, методи та можливості їх реалізації; визначено, що прийняття управлінських рішень має безпосереднє відношення до теорії прийняття рішень у психології, економіці, менеджменті, системному аналізі, низці інших наук та базується на аналізі ситуації, наявних ресурсів та поставлених цілей. Авторами виокремлено, що психологія управління приділяє значну увагу емоційному станові, особливостям спілкування, ефективності взаємодії та робочим відносинам у колективі, а також інструментам та методам їх налагодження. Підтверджено, що передумовами результативної роботи є налаштування взаємодії між працівниками керівних та виконавчих ланок, ефективне та своєчасне вирішення конфліктів, оптимізація взаємин у колекти- ві задля виконання поставлених завдань, налагодження дієвих керівних процесів та використання оптимальних методів прийняття рішень. Вибір оптимального рішення передбачає використання механізму прийняття рішень, що включає підбір методів прийняття рішень, серед яких розрізняють формальні, евристичні та методи експертних оцінок. Саме застосування методів експертних оцінок робить доречною участь не лише особи фахівця – експерта, але й фасилітатора. Встановлено, що фасилітатор сприяє спрощенню взаємодії між членами колективу, як на рівні «керівник-керівник», так і на рівнях «керівник-виконавець» та «виконавець-виконавець». Результатом такої взаємодії є прийняття, затвердження та впровадження рішень, покращення взаємодії в колективі та нормалізація емоційного фону в установі. При цьому суб’єктом прийняття рішення є особа або колектив керівників. Структуровано методи та техніки, які використовуються фасилітаторами (методи групової роботи, активізації розумової діяльності, унормування емоцій клієнтів та власне оптимізації прийняття рішень клієнтами). Підкреслено перспективність використання різноманітних варіантів моделювання, теорії ігор та інших способів активізації творчого пошуку. В сучасному світі професійна фасилітація набуває статусу важливого інструменту, що підвищує ефективність реалізації проектів в економічній, політичній та інших сферах суспільного життя.

Objective: To assess the effect of different yeast levels and fermentation times on the chemical, fermentative, and microbiological composition of cassava in order to produce a cassava-based fermented food.
Design/Methodology/Approach: We used a completely randomized design with a factorial arrangement, three yeast inoculum levels (0, 5, and 10%), and five fermentation times (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 days).
Results: We found significant interaction of the studied factors with the pH and crude protein (CP) variables. The highest pH values were obtained adding 10% yeast inoculum (YI) (8.67). CP values of 16.55% were found. No differences caused by the studied inoculum levels and fermentation times were found in true protein (TP) and the in situ degradation of dry matter (IDDM). TP and IDDM had 8% and 80% values, respectively.
Study Limitations/Implications: A behavior test with bovines must be conducted to demonstrate the potential of cassava-based fermented foods in meat and/or milk production.
Findings/Conclusions: The yeast inoculum and the fermentation days did not increase the TP in the cassava-based fermented food.

Objective: To obtain cellulose from oil palm agroindustrial waste that meets standard physicochemical characteristics to produce value-added products.
 
Design/methodology/approach: Bagasse fibers from the palm agroindustry were used to obtain cellulose, by means of the acid – alkaline hydrolysis methodology. The samples obtained in each stage and the cellulose obtained were characterized by the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) technique and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
Results: The final characterized product presented a band corresponding to 1370 cm1 which is a characteristic value of cellulose. The peak at 1731 cm-1 is related to C=O bonds of unconjugated ketones present in hemicellulose. A major thermal event for treated fiber near 355 °C and the high residual mass indicate a good chemical treatment for hemicellulose and lignin elimination.
Study limitations/implications: A fiber yield of 39.3% cellulose was obtained during the process from oil palm bagasse.
Findings/conclusions: Obtaining cellulose from a highly polluting residue such as palm bagasse and with high production figures in our state, makes it a potential for use to generate biopolymers in combination with natural polysaccharides, providing sustainable benefits and economic impact and promoting sustainable development by replacing conventional fossil plastics, in addition to obtaining value-added products for the same agribusiness and in sectors such as the food industry.

Published: September 2022

We apply Bayesian Linear Regression to estimate the response rate of drivers to variable message signs at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, or SEA. Our approach uses vehicle speed and flow data measured at the entrances of the arrival and departure-ways of the airport terminal, and sign message data. Depending on the time of day, we estimate that between 5.5 and 9.1% of drivers divert from departures to arrivals when the sign reads “departures full, use arrivals”, and conversely, between 1.9 and 4.2% of drivers divert from arrivals to departures. Though we lack counterfactual data (i.e., what would have happened had the diversionary treatment not been active), adopting a causal model that encodes time dependency with prior distributions rate can yield a measurable effect.
Causes of poor dregs settling in a green liquor clarifier
Authors: MEYER TORTSEN , MUNN HEATHER , TRAN HONGHI
Published: September 2022

A study was conducted to examine the most likely parameters responsible for poor dregs settling at a kraft mill over a 2.5-year period, using multivariate data analysis (MVDA) and machine learning (ML) techniques. The dregs settling behavior seems to be seasonally influenced, implying that wood quality variation can be a factor. The results from the MVDA/ML analysis show that poor dregs settling is correlated to incomplete combustion and/or low load conditions in the recovery boiler, low sulfidity in the causticizing plant, and high flow in the green liquor–weak wash cycle. Compositions of dregs and black liquor were also examined to identify correlations with impaired dregs settling. The results show that poor dregs settling strongly correlates with high silicon (Si) content in dregs and moderately correlates with high iron (Fe) and high aluminum (Al) contents, and with low bulk density in dregs. For mills that experience dregs settling or green liquor filtering issues, regular compositional analyses of dregs, green liquor, weak wash, and black liquor are recommended in order to monitor the dynamics of silicon and other constituents in the recovery cycle.

Program Redesign to Prepare Transformative Special Educators
Authors: Golloher Andrea , Love Matthew , Simpson Lisa , Krishnan Sudha
Published: September 2022

Teacher educators are in a unique position to prepare future educators to disrupt the status quo and enact changes that ensure equitable access to educational opportunities for all students, including those with disabilities. It is critical that those who prepare future special education teachers (SETs) ensure they are prepared to engage with the broader school community to foster inclusivity and positive outcomes for all students, in addition to designing specially designed instruction (SDI) responsive to the unique learning needs of individual students with disabilities. Addressing this task requires candidates who are prepared to employ high leverage and evidence-based practices, culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogy, and universal design for learning. In this article, we describe how one small Department of Special Education sought to reinvent its program to center anti-racism and anti-ableism to inspire the next generation of SETs to adopt a transformative vision for public education. The result was a cohesive course roadmap that employs a “common trunk” of classes aligned with differentiated coursework needed for specialization for each credential that centers these principles while reducing assignments. The newly aligned road- maps ensure candidates in our programs will be ready to situate their work with students with identified disabilities within the context of the broader goals of public education.
Working Smarter: Using Universal Design for Learning to Spiral Curriculum in Small Special Education Preparation Programs
Authors: Jennifer Walker  , Lohmann Marla , Boothe Kathy , Ruby Owiny
Published: September 2022

Although small teacher education preparation programs (STEPP) may struggle to implement robust program design frameworks compared to their larger preparation program peers, a collaborative design can help smaller programs with resource limitations. This collaboration can facilitate the design of effective and efficient teacher preparation programs (TPP) with a spiraled curriculum. Through scaffolding in TPPs, a spiral of support is defined as the process of learning continuous threads of information, gradually building to content mastery. These scaffolded components include case studies, role playing/modeling/feedback, and mentoring within the UDL framework. The use of case studies throughout a TPP provides a “continuum” of learning to prepare teachers to develop knowledge, skills, and practical experience within a diverse K-12 student population. Given a spiral of instruction to include role-play, modeling, feedback, and mentorship, preservice teachers can also engage in real world teaching and learning that go beyond the constraints of a classroom.

We outline principles identified for effective service-learning and describe how to embed them to integrate community service. We discuss service-learning with academic skills and content in mind, as well as reflection related to the experience, while ensuring the service-learning partnership includes the voice of the community partner. Lastly, a phase-by-phase guide for teacher educators is presented that we used in our small teacher preparation program through literacy instruction.
Special Education in South Korea: Policies and Issues
Authors: Kang Jeongae , Shin Mikyung
Published: September 2022

Although South Korea has a relatively short history of special education, the country has made remarkable improvements following the Special Education Act (1974) and Act on Special Education for Persons with Disabilities (2008) mandates. The meaningful social inclusion of individuals with disabilities is a fundamental goal documented through the law and five-year development plans for special education in South Korea. However, multiple areas require more intensive attention, such as preparing general and special educationteachers, promoting the public’s disability awareness, and designing quality special education curricula. The present article provides an overview of the overall special education system in South Korea and discusses contemporary issues.

Isopod parasite influences prawn responsiveness and activity

Most bopyrid isopod parasites, which are crustaceans themselves, settle in the branchial chamber of decapod crustaceans and feed on host haemolymph. Here we report the results of an experiment on the common prawn Palaemon serratus and the parasite Bopyrus squillarum. Infected and uninfected prawns were stimulated with pokes of a plastic rod until an escape response was triggered; the number of pokes was recorded as an indicator of prawn responsiveness, whereas the time spent moving following stimulation was used as an indicator of prawn activity. Our results show that bopyrid infection affects both prawn responsiveness and activity, with infected prawns requiring more pokes to move, and moving for less time compared to uninfected prawns. In nature, such behavioural changes may impact defence mechanisms and survival of infected prawns. This could contribute to decreases in P. serratus abundance, thereby affecting the coastal ecosystems home to this species and the fisheries reliant on it, such as the Irish shrimp fishery.
Effects of temperature and pH on the growth, calcification, and biomechanics of two species of articulated coralline algae

Ocean warming and acidification are predicted to impact the physiology of marine organisms, especially marine calcifiers that must deposit calcium carbonate and resist dissolution. Of particular concern are articulated coralline algae, which must maintain both calcified segments (intergenicula) and uncalcified joints (genicula) in order to thrive along wave-swept rocky coastlines. We examined the effect of pH and temperature, both individually and in combination, on the growth, calcification, and biomechanical properties of 2 species of articulated coralline algae,Corallina vancouveriensisandCalliarthron tuberculosum, common on wave-exposed shores in the NE Pacific. Increased temperature and reduced pH were found to reduce growth rates in both species (30-89% lower) but had little influence on the amount of intergenicular calcium carbonate or on the genicular biomechanical properties of these species. Results suggest that although growth rates may decline, these 2 coralline species will maintain the integrity of their tissues and continue to persist under future climate stress.
Tocilizumab-Associated Ventricular Tachycardia Case in a COVID-19 Patient

Published: September 2022

COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease-2019) which is dependent on SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) virus started as a pandemic which affected every sphere of life. The disease progresses more heavily and higher mortality is observed in the COVID-19 patients who had cardiovascular disease before or cardiovascular risk factors (smoking habit, male gender, old age, obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hypertension). Both COVID-19 disease and the drugs used during treatment lead to cardiac arrhythmia. In this study, a case that was followed up in intensive care unit because of COVID-19 disease and had ventricular tachycardia following Tocilizumab treatment was presented.

Studies have been carried out to determine the effect of seeds of varieties of coleseed (Brassica rapa L.) on the productivity of broiler chickens of the "Cobb 500" cross. According to the scheme of the experi-ment, the control compound feed did not contain coleseed seeds, 7.5% (by weight) were taken into the compound feed of the first experimental group seeds of winter coleseed of the Zarya variety, and in the compound feed of the second experimental group — 7.5% seeds of spring coleseed of the Nadezhda va-riety. The introduction of coleseed seeds into the starting and finishing compound feeds for broiler chick-ens reduced the use of soybean meal and sunflower oil by 3.7 and 4.0% (rel.). The data of physiological experience showed that the digestibility of the nutrients of the compound feed of all groups was at a high level. The digestibility of crude protein was at the control level. Lower digestibility of raw fiber by chick-ens of the first experimental group (less by 3.06%) is associated with a higher content of lignin in the seed shell of the Zarya variety. By the end of the experiment, the live weight of broiler chickens increased 66.8 times, 66.4 times and 66.9 times, respectively, according to the control of the first and second experimen-tal groups. Inclusion of coleseed seeds (7.5% by weight) slightly reduced the consumption of compound feeds by chickens of the experimental groups — by 1.43 and 1.13%, compared with the control. This was facilitated by the higher energy saturation of experimental compound feeds with coleseed seeds, contain-ing a high level of crude fat. The reduction in the use of compound feed and its lower cost affected the efficiency of growing an experienced bird. The efficiency index of poultry meat production by groups in the control was 97.62% and 113.41, 114.54% in the 1st and 2nd experimental groups, respectively.

MicroRNAs (miRs) have gained scientific attention due to their importance in the pathophysiology of allergic diseases as well as their potential as biomarkers in allergen-specific treatment options. Their function as post-transcriptional regulators, controlling various cellular processes, is of high importance since any single miR can target multiple mRNAs, often within the same signalling pathway. MiRs can alter dysregulated expression of certain cellular responses and contribute to or cause, but in some cases prevent or repress, the development of various diseases. In this review article, we describe current research on the role of specific miRs in regulating immune responses in epithelial cells and specialized immune cells in response to various stimuli, in allergic diseases, and regulation in the therapeutic approach of allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT). Despite the fact that AIT has been used successfully as a causative treatment option since more than a century, very little is known about the mechanisms of regulation and its connections with microRNAs. In order to fill this gap, this review aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge.

The developmental stage of the mosquito is one of the main factors that affect its response to ionizing radiation. Irradiation of adults has been reported to have beneficial effects. However, the main challenge is to immobilize and compact a large number of adult male mosquitoes for homogenous irradiation with minimal deleterious effects on their quality. The present study investigates the use of nitrogen in the irradiation of adult Aedes albopictus and Ae. aegypti. Irradiation in nitrogen (N2) and in air after being treated with nitrogen (PreN2) were compared with irradiation in air at gamma radiation doses of 0, 55, 70, 90, 110, and 125 Gy. In both species, approximately 0% egg hatch rate was observed following doses above 55 Gy in air versus 70 Gy in PreN2 and 90 Gy in N2. Males irradiated at a high mosquito density showed similar egg hatch rates as those irradiated at a low density. Nitrogen treatments showed beneficial effects on the longevity of irradiated males for a given dose, revealing the radioprotective effect of anoxia. However, irradiation in N2 or PreN2 slightly reduced the male flight ability. Nitrogen treatment was found to be a reliable method for adult mosquito immobilization. Overall, our results demonstrated that nitrogen may be useful in adult Aedes mass irradiation. The best option seems to be PreN2 since it reduces the immobilization duration and requires a lower dose than that required in the N2 environment to achieve full sterility but with similar effects on male quality. However, further studies are necessary to develop standardized procedures including containers, time and pressure for flushing with nitrogen, immobilization duration considering mosquito species, age, and density.
