Ethical, Legal & Participatory Concerns in the Development of Human-Robot Interaction
Authors: Carros Felix , Störzinger Tobias , Wierling Anne , Preussner Adrian , Tolmie Peter
Published: July 2022

Research on Human-Robot Interaction is increasing as system become widely available and reached a level that enables smooth interactions. Yet, many research projects act in a silo mentality, in regard of participatory, ethical, or legal matters of social robotics. Knowledge about specific challenges is not universal and has often to be transferred from non-robotic contexts. We present findings in the three dimensions: participatory design, ethics for social robots and legal aspects. We accompanied eight research projects on social robots in real-world scenarios for three years. During that time, we spoke, observed, and helped (where possible) the research projects. This gave us specific insights into their work. Our findings work in three dimensions. In participatory design we observed that the trust relationship to users is essential to gain truthful insights and that a mixed method approach is promising. Regarding ethical aspects, we could see that ethical matters should be answered early on. And in the legal dimensions we noticed that the GDPR regulations are a challenge that often requires the help of experts. This work is reflecting on the observation of eight projects and is collecting lessons learned to help future projects and to learn from previous work.

Authors: Yuan Shuping , Chen Yang , Ye Chengqiong , Ansari Mohd Dilshad
Published: July 2022

In order to improve the performance of edge detection for noisy images, a new edge detection method based on nonlinear structure tensor is proposed. First, the tensor product of noisy images is calculated. The tensor product is diffused according to the image gradient, which depends on the tensor product itself. Finally, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the diffusion tensor product are calculated, and the edges of the image are detected according to the eigenvalues. The method is compared with other methods. The experimental results show that the average number of edge points detected by method 1, method 2, method 3, and this method are 513.7, 530.0, 509.0, and 719.3, respectively. The average detection time of method 1, method 2, method 3, and this method were 65.3, 54.9, 57.3, and 33.6 s, respectively. When the number of edge detection is the largest, the average detection time of this method is significantly smaller than that of the three comparison methods. Therefore, this method is more suitable for edge detection of noisy images, and the performance of this method is better than that of the comparison method and can improve the performance of edge detection of noisy images.
Angle error control model of laser profilometer contact measurement
Authors: Guan Banggui , Qin Yanfu , Guo Minglei
Published: July 2022

In controlling the angle error of laser profilometer contact measurement, the control model used in the past is subject to more external interference, which affects the measurement of other parameters, resulting in poor error control effect. Therefore, the angle error control model of laser profilometer contact measurement is designed by determining the initial zero position of the profilometer measuring sensor, compensating the non-linear error, designing the interference signal processing circuit, and avoiding the error measurement influenced by external factors. From the main error sources such as the perpendicularity, standard error, sensor error and other errors of the coordinate axis of the profilometer, the accuracy is distributed. According to the equal action principle, the measurement uncertainty of the profilometer is calculated, and the measurement is obtained. According to the interference signal processing circuit and measurement index, the serial communication control circuit is designed, and the angle error control model of laser profilometer contact measurement is constructed. The experimental results show that the designed laser profilometer contact measurement angle error control model has high precision and does not affect other parameters in the control process, which shows that the control model has good effect in practical application.

Published: July 2022

A new fluorescent sensor, N-allyl-4-[(2-(3-methoxysalicylaldimino)ethylamino]-1,8-naphthalimide (HL), for Hg2+ has been developed where the Schiff base substituent acts as a recognition group. This sensor shows a large Stokes shift of 3535–4042 cm−1 and a general fluorescence quantum yield of 0.05, 249–0.11, 866 in organic solvents of different polarity as expected. It also exhibits highly selective and a sensitive response to Hg2+ (Ф
Hg+HL/Ф
HL = 2.28) over other metal ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Al3+, Pb2+, Fe3+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Ag+, Co2+, Cr3+, Mn2+ and Cd2+) in solution (DMF/Tris-HCl buffer, 1:1, v/v, pH = 7.2). The Hg2+-induced fluorescence enhancement at 526 nm is proportional to the concentration of Hg2+ in the range of 0.5–4.0 µm with a detection limit of 0.18 µm. Based on the fluorescence titration and a Job’s plot analysis, the metal-to-ligand ratio of the complex is 2:1 with a binding constant of 1.56 × 1012 m

The Vulnerability Effect that Wasn’t
Authors: Oh Yoon Ah
Published: July 2022

In response to the outbreak of a new viral infection in the early weeks of 2020, some countries imposed strict entry restrictions on visitors from China, while others opted for less stringent measures. Among the explanations for such variation, this study is focused on the argument that a country’s economic dependence on China, particularly via trade, affected its decision. This economic vulnerability argument posits that countries highly dependent on China for trade avoided imposing a ban because it might have caused (1) primary economic losses from trade disruptions and (2) secondary economic losses from Chinese sanctions. I empirically test this argument using an original data set on entry restrictions on China. The findings do not support such a hypothesis. Using the nonconforming cases of Japan and South Korea, I speculate that country-specific factors, which tend to be idiosyncratic and political, may have played a role.

Published: July 2022

The objective of this study was to investigate the bleaching performance of a Mg(OH)2-based hydrogen peroxide process at a high consistency. In this work, an industrially produced chemimechanical pulp (CMP) was bleached via Mg(OH)2- or NaOH-based hydrogen peroxide processes at 10% and 25% consistencies. The results showed that the pulp bleached under the conditions of 1.5% Mg(OH)2 and 3% H2O2 at 25% consistency had a similar brightness to, a lower yellowness index, and a higher opacity than the pulp produced under the conditions of 2.1% NaOH, 3% Na2SiO3, and 3% H2O2 at the same consistency. The temperature (70 ºC) and time (150 min) of the bleaching were the same for both processes. Under the conditions stated above, the Mg(OH)2-based process had a higher yield than the NaOH-based process did. The bleaching effluent of the Mg(OH)2-based process had a higher residual H2O2, but a lower Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) load and turbidity, compared with that of the NaOH-based process. However, the strength properties and water retention value (WRV) of the pulp bleached via the Mg(OH)2-based process were lower, while its bulk was higher than those of the pulp bleached via the NaOH-based process.
Implementation of the New MABIMS Crescent Visibility Criteria: Efforts to Unite the Hijriyah Calendar in the Southeast Asian Region
Authors: Maskufa Maskufa , Sopa Sopa , Hidayati Sri , Damanhuri Adi
Published: July 2022

This paper discussed the implementation of the new MABIMS hilāl visibility criteria in the unification of the Hijriyah calendar in member countries (Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and Singapore). This research uses the approach of Astronomy and Grindle's theory of policy implementation. The data source comes from the MABIMS Muzakarah results document and related articles. The research results indicate that the new MABIMS moon crescent visibility criteria are part of a public policy that, in its implementation, requires two mutually supportive variables. First, the content of the policy in the form of the moon crescent visibility criteria (3⁰; 6.4⁰) was accepted by all member countries through the signing of an ad referendum on 8 December 2021. This acceptance will receive public support if it is beneficial to time management. Second, the context of implementation is carried out in stages by taking into the characteristics of the institutions involved in preparing the Hijriyah calendar. At the practical level, the policy can be well received by the public, except in Indonesia, which still faces obstacles. This is due to the policy in the three countries being carried out on a top-down basis, while in Indonesia, it is carried out on a bottom-up basis. Furthermore, determining of Ramadan, Shawwal, and Zulhijjah are still waiting for confirmation of the sighting of the moon (ru’yah). It related to the domination of ru’yah, and a strong distinction between the function of the calendar in civil administration and worship practice.  Abstrak Makalah ini membahas penerapan kriteria baru visibilitas hilalMABIMS dalam penyatuan penanggalan Hijriyah di negara-negara anggota(Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia dan Singapura).

Hasilpenelitian menunjukkan bahwa kriteria baru visibilitas hilal MABIMS merupakanbagian dari kebijakan publik yang dalam pelaksanaannya membutuhkandua variabel yang saling mendukung. Pertama, isi kebijakan berupa kriteriavisibilitas bulan sabit (3⁰; 6.4⁰) diterima oleh seluruh negara anggota melaluipenandatanganan referendum pada 8 Desember 2021. Penerimaan ini akanmendapat dukungan publik jika bermanfaat hingga manajemen waktu. Kedua,konteks pelaksanaannya dilakukan secara bertahap dengan memperhatikankarakteristik lembaga yang terlibat dalam penyusunan penanggalan Hijriyah.Pada tataran praktis, kebijakan tersebut dapat diterima dengan baik olehmasyarakat, kecuali di Indonesia yang masih menghadapi kendala. Hal inidisebabkan kebijakan di ketiga negara dilakukan secara top-down, sedangkan diIndonesia dilakukan secara bottom-up. Selanjutnya, penentuan awal Ramadan,Syawal dan Zulhijah masih menunggu konfirmasi penampakan hilal (rukyah).Ini terkait dengan dominasi ru’yah, dan perbedaan yang kuat antara fungsipenanggalan dalam administrasi sipil dan praktik ibadah.
Pregnancies and contraceptive use in four African countries during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Backhaus Andreas
Published: July 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic and the public health measures adopted in response to it have triggered plenty of speculation about the potential impact on fertility in different regions of the globe. This study provides evidence on the fertility response in four sub-Saharan African countries during the first year of the pandemic. Using harmonized data on women of childbearing age from the Performance Monitoring for Action (PMA) data series, this study compares pregnancy rates at the turn of the year 2020/21 to a pre-pandemic baseline. There is no indication of a general increase in pregnancy rates after the beginning of the pandemic. In some of the sample countries, pregnancy rates during this phase of the COVID-19 pandemic instead fell significantly among the youngest and the least educated women of childbearing age, respectively. The findings also indicate that over this period, rates of modern contraceptive usage rose significantly among the surveyed female populations in several sample countries.

Politics of Sufism in Pakistan
Authors: Hussain Ghulam
Published: July 2022

This paper is an attempt to explicate the emancipatory limits of a historical figure in a caste society. As a case study, it offers a critical analysis of a metaphor of Shah Abdul Latif, the eighteenth-century poet who inherited enormous caste capital as a Sayed and custodian of a Sufi shrine. The poetry and life history of Shah Latif are often invoked by Sindhi nationalists to pose an ontological challenge to the narrative of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Situating Latif in the South Asian political context, this paper offers a historiographical analysis of the vernacular literature on the projection of Latif as the prime symbol of emancipation for the Sindhi nation. It contends that Latif, as we know him today, is an anachronistic construct that was initially inspired by the Orientalist motive, and later used by privileged caste Hindus and Ashrafiya morality to feed the performative Sindhi nationalist agenda.

Published: July 2022

In this paper, warped product CRCR-submanifolds in Kahler manifolds and warped product contact CRCR-submanifolds in Sasakian, Kenmotsu and cosymplectic manifolds, are shown to possess a geometric property; namely DTDT-minimal. Taking benefit from this property, an optimal general inequality is established by means of the Gauss equation, we leave cosyplectic because it is an easy structure. Moreover, a rich geometry appears when the necessity and sufficiency are proved and discussed in the equality case. Applying this general inequality, the inequalities obtained by Munteanu are derived as particular cases. Up to now, the method used by Chen and Munteanu can not extended for general ambient manifolds, this is because many limitations in using Codazzi equation. Hence, Our method depends on the Gauss equation. The inequality is constructed to involve an intrinsic invariant (scalar curvature) controlled by an extrinsic one (the second fundamental form), which provides an answer for the well-know Chen's research problem (Problem 1.1???). As further research directions, we have addressed a couple of open problems arose naturally during this work and depending on its results.

This study explores teaching and learning with a range of texts — with a focus on comics — that highlight diverse identities and voices. I asked: What happens when a range of multimodal and nontraditional texts with prominent diverse identity representations are integrated into a 10th grade ELA curriculum? Data was collected in a culturally, racially, and linguistically diverse school with a 10th grade ELA teacher and six students as participants. The comics medium, combined with other media in multimodal text sets, provided opportunities to challenge normative curricula and for students to think about themselves and how they operate in their worlds.

Göksu Çayı (Isparta) Üzerindeki Gökkuşağı Alabalık Tesisleri Su Kalitesi Etkilerinin Çok Değişkenli İstatistiki Analizi ve Tahmini Azot-Fosfor Yükleri
Authors: ERGÜN Mustafa , BULUT Cafer , KOÇER Gürkan
Published: July 2022

Türkiye’de ilk olarak 1970’li yıllarda yetiştiriciliğine başlanan gökkuşağı alabalığı (Oncorhynchus mykiss), bugün yıllık üretimi 100.000 tonu aşan üretim miktarıyla su ürünleri yetiştiriciliğinde önemli bir tür konumuna gelmiştir. Artan tesis sayısı ve üretim miktarları ile birlikte son yıllarda su ürünleri yetiştiriciliğinin sucul çevreye çeşitli potansiyel etkilerinin olduğu ve bu durumun izlenmesi gerekliliği ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu kapsamda su ürünleri yetiştiriciliğinin çevresel etkilerini izlemek önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada Isparta ili sınırları içerisinde yer alan Göksu Çayı üzerinde gökkuşağı alabalığı tesislerinin etkilerinin çok değişkenli istatistiki analizler kullanılarak izlenmesi ve azot ve fosfor yüklerinin tahmin edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ocak-Aralık (2019) aylık olarak gerçekleştirilen çalışmada yerinde ölçümler ve laboratuvarda analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Daha sonra tesislerin tahmini azot ve fosfor yükleri, tesislerin alabalık çiftliklerinin toplam balık üretim miktarları, yem dönüşüm oranı, toplam tüketilen yem miktarı ve azot ve fosfor içerikleri dikkate alınarak hesaplanmaya çalışılmıştır. Göksu Çayı’nda yemle gelen fosfor girdisi 13,9 ton, balıkla uzaklaştırılan fosfor miktarı 5,3 ton ve sisteme giren fosfor yükü 8,6 ton olarak tahmin edilirken yemle gelen azot girdisi 111,1 ton; balıkla uzaklaştırılan azot miktarı 29,6 ton ve sisteme giren azot yükü ise 81,5 ton olarak tahmin edilmiştir. Hesaplanan değerler literatürün üzerinde bulunmuştur. Veriler faktör analizi ve kümeleme analizleri değerlendirilmesinde ise 1. ve 2. istasyon ile 3. ve 4. istasyonlar arasında özellikle azot ve fosfor parametreleri açısından anlamlı bir fark olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bu durum alabalık tesislerinin dere üzerine etkilerinin olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu kapsamda tesislerin atıklarının kesinlikle akarsuya verilmemesi gerekmektedir.

Several studies indicate the influence of olanzapine on bone metabolism; however, the results are contradictory. We evaluated the effects of olanzapine on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, physiological alveolar bone turnover, and alveolar bone modeling due to an applied orthodontic force. Adult male rats (n=48) were treated with either olanzapine or a vehicle for 21 days; then 8 rats from each group were sacrificed and the rest were divided into 4 groups: control, appliance-only, olanzapine-only, and olanzapine-appliance. The rats in the appliance groups were mounted with a superelastic closed coil spring that maintained constant orthodontic force between molars and incisors. We studied the effects of olanzapine on physiological alveolar bone turnover on day 21 of the experiment, and on alveolar bone modeling due to orthodontic force on day 56. We determined tooth movement, alveolar bone volume, activity of bone-specific cells, serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and gene expression levels of Wnt/β-catenin signaling target genes. During forced bone modeling, olanzapine increased osteoblast volume (P<0.0001) and ALP activity (P=0.0011) and decreased osteoclast volume (P<0.0001) and gene expression of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling target genes Fosl1, Axin2, and Dkk1(P=0.001, P=0.0076, and P=0.036, respectively), and the osteocyte markers Sost and Dmp1 (P=0.0432 and P=0.0021, respectively). Similar results were obtained during physiological alveolar bone turnover on day 21, when olanzapine downregulated the gene expression of osteocyte markers and Wnt/β-catenin signaling target genes. We concluded that olanzapine attenuated osteocyte maturation during forced bone modeling and physiological alveolar bone turnover, potentially through downregulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Alport syndrome (AS) and thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN) are part of the spectrum of kidney disorders caused by pathogenic variants in α3, α4, or α5 chains of the collagen type IV, the major structural component of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). Using targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS), 34 AS/TBMN patients (58.8% male) from 12 unrelated families were found positive for heterozygous c.2881+1G>A variant of the COL4A3gene, that is considered disease-causing. All patients were from the continental or island part of Croatia. Clinical, laboratory, and histopathological data collected from the medical records were analyzed and compared to understand the clinical course and prognosis of the affected patients. At the time of biopsy or first clinical evaluation, the mean age was 31 years (median: 35 years; range: 1 – 72 years). Hematuria was present in 33 patients (97.1%) and 19 (55.9%) patients had proteinuria. There were 6 (17.6%) patients with hearing loss, 4 (11.8%) with ocular lesions, and 11 (32.4%) with hypertension. Twenty-three (67.6%) patients had proteinuria at follow-up, and 5 (14.7%) patients with the median age of 48 years (range: 27-55) progressed to kidney failure, started dialysis, or underwent kidney transplantation. Of the 13 patients who underwent kidney biopsy, 4 (30.8%) developed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and 8 (66.7%) showed lamellation of the GBM, including all patients with FSGS. It is essential to conduct a detailed analysis of each collagen type IV genetic variant to optimize the prognosis and therapeutic approach for affected patients.

Quality control analysis for 10X snRNA-seq v2
Authors: Jacobsen Daniel
Published: July 2022

Here we describe a computational protocol for performing quality control analysis on shallow sequencing data obtained from 10X snRNA-seq experiments. The workflow starts with raw MiSeq run folders and uses cellranger to generate count matrices. The raw count matrices are analyzed and sequencing saturation plots are generated. The saturation plots are then compared against plots from a reference set of libraries with varying qualities (bad, fair, good, great), thus allowing for the determination of sequencing requirements as well as an assessment of the overall quality of each 10X snRNA experiment.

Simple Two‐step, High Yield Protocol for Isolation and Amplification of Bacteriophages Against Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) v1
Authors: Khan Atif
Published: July 2022

Bacteriophages are bacteria-targeting viruses that may prove useful as therapeutic agents against multidrug-resistant bacterial strains. Though phage therapy is a century-old concept, there is very limited progress on its therapeutic application due to the rapid expansion of antibiotics portfolios in the last few decades. However, the emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms has brought our attention back to bacteriophages. The first step towards developing effective phage therapy against multidrug-resistant bacteria is isolation, amplification, and purification of specific bacteriophages. There are many reported protocols for isolating host-specific bacteriophages from the environment. However, most of them are complex, multistep, low-yielding, resource-intensive protocols, requiring elaborate laboratory setup. We have demonstrated a simple two-step, high-yielding protocol for isolating and amplifying bacteriophages against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). We have shown that mixing various environmental samples (i.e., sample pooling) and phage amplification at two different temperatures significantly enhance the yield of MRSA phages

Knowledge of teachers about suicidal behavior in adolescents
Authors: Soja Santos Laura Maria , Wesner Ana Cristina , Algeri Simone , MariaZarth Silvana
Published: July 2022

Objective. To identify the knowledge of teachers about suicidal behavior in adolescents.

Methods. Qualitative exploratory-descriptive study conducted in a state school in the municipality of Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. Twelve teachers participated in the study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews analyzed using Bardin’s Content Analysis.

Results. Three categories were built: "Warning signs of suicide", related to the signs identified by the professionals; "Risk factors for suicide", which indicate the reasons that may lead adolescents to present this type of behavior; and "Difficulties in dealing with the behaviors", referring to the behaviors adopted by adolescents and the difficulties of teachers before the theme.

Conclusion. It was possible to identify that teachers recognize some signs of suicidal behavior, as well as some risk factors. Nonetheless, it is necessary to qualify them to approach the subject, since they feel insecure to act in more critical moments, thus generating mainly feelings of sadness, guilt and powerlessness.

Authors: Quemba Mesa Mónica Paola , Diaz Fernández Jenny Katherine , Vargas Rodríguez Leidy Yemile , Bautista Plazas Leila , Pulido Barragán Sandra Patricia
Published: July 2022

Objective. To understand the experiences and perceptions of care dyads (person and caregiver) when having a permanent discharge ostomy.

Methods. Meta-synthesis that followed the ENTREQ standards and was registered in PROSPERO CRD42020221755; It was developed in three phases: (i). Search for studies in academic search engines, with MeSH terms: [(Patients) AND (Ostomy)) AND (Caregivers)], including qualitative primary studies published between 2000 and 2020; (ii). Assessment of the methodological quality with the CORE-Q instrument and the credibility of qualitative findings under the guidelines of the Johanna Briggs Institute; and (iii). Comparative analysis according to the guidelines by Sandelowski and Barroso.

Results. The work identified 664 studies; in screening, 35 passed to full-text analysis; 22 to methodological quality evaluation; and 10 to meta-synthesis. The study found 43 qualitative findings that constituted four categories: dyads perform instrumental and emotional care; ambivalent family caregiving feelings and actions; assertive and effective family care; and rejection of bodily changes and sexual dysfunction. These categories constitute the central meta-theme: “The dyads experience a life rupture, which is restored in a sea of ​ambivalent ​emotions and learning; at the same time, affective, instrumental and assertive care is constructed”.

Conclusions: People who experience having a permanent discharge ostomy express their rejection to the change in bodily image, alterations in sexual life and as a couple. Caregivers and families are the main source of support by being facilitators in self-care, through relationships of mutuality and reciprocity.

Published: July 2022

Analysis of information space parameters is necessary to understand the specificity of scientific interests, in response to events in the world. The submitted review shows the content of information space in foreign higher school studies, within the framework of preschool age psychology and the focus of such researches in 2021—2022. A tendency to shift scientific interests towards the problems of preschooler psychological safety, under the influence of destructive factors and cumulative risks, has been revealed here too. At the same time, traditional studies that continue to study details of preschooler s psychological portrait, can be assimilated to one degree or another by security block and used by it. The basic information blocks inside concentrate the problems of ill-treatment, which remain acutely relevant, as well as behavioral problems as a result of psychological pressure, and other destructive moments. Adjacent blocks focus on the issues of psychophysiology of perception, educational expectations of parents, and others.

Authors: Bukhalenkova D.A. , Veraksa A.N. , Chichinina E.A.
Published: July 2022

The article presents a review of 60 works researches carried out within the period from 2007 to 2021. The purpose of the review was to summarize current research on the relationship between the use of digital devices and the quality of sleep, physical activity and eating behavior in preschoolers. These aspects of development were chosen in connection with their proven influence on the cognitive and socio-emotional development of preschoolers. The analysis of studies has shown that screen time is associated with the risk of overweight and obesity in preschoolers. Also, the review has shown that long screen time and digital devices presence in bedroom negatively affect sleep duration and sleep quality. Additionally, excessive screen media use in preschoolers is associated with poor motor skills and physical activity. But on the opposite side there are special active videogames, apps and exergames which can promote physical activity and eating behavior. An analysis of the studies led to the conclusion about the important role of executive functions that mediate the relationship between screen time and the amount of sleep, physical activity and eating behavior. This review allows to articulate the recommendations for further investigations in this direction according to analyzed researches limitations. The review also confirms the importance of recommendations for parents on the safe use of digital devices by preschoolers.
Fuzzy Logic based Intrusion Detection System against Black Hole Attack in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Authors: Moudni Houda , Er-rouidi Mohamed , Mouncif Hicham , El Hadadi Benachir
Published: July 2022

A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a group of mobile nodes that rely on wireless network interfaces, without the use of fixed infrastructure or centralized administration. In this respect, these networks are very susceptible to numerous attacks. One of these attacks is the black hole attack and it is considered as one of the most affected kind on MANET. Consequently, the use of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) has a major importance in the MANET protection. In this paper, a new scheme has been proposed by using an Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for mobile ad hoc networks to detect the black hole attack of the current activities. Evaluations using extracted database from a simulated network using the Network Simulator NS2 demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, in comparison to an optimized IDS based ANFIS-GA.

Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: The study sends to quantify type 9 matrix metalloproteinase in serum in patients with coronary heart disease, since this enzyme is able to provoke an immunoinflammatory process leading to destabilization of atherosclerotic plaque, the development of unstable angina and acute coronary syndrome.
AIM: Is to conduct a comparative analysis of the quantitative content of MMR-9 in serum in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) with a different course of angina and atherosclerosis and in relatively healthy individuals.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Blood serum samples of 66 CHD patients were examined. All patients based on clinical examination were divided into 3 groups, depending on the severity of the disease. Quantitative MMR-9 analysis was performed using the Thermo Fisher ELISA kits (BMS2016-2). Determination of the amount of MMR-9 in serum was recorded in the ELX 800 ELISA reader plate. Data processing was carried out using Statistica 6.0 statistical analysis (StatSof, USA). The results were presented as means and mean errors.
RESULTS: The obtained results indicate a significant decrease in the concentration of MMR-9 in the serum of patients with an unstable course of the disease compared to the control group (relatively healthy people). This is probably due to the effect on the content and activity of its MMR-9 inhibitor TIMP-1. Further studies will investigate whether MMR-9 can be considered as a marker of destabilization of atherosclerotic plaque and act as an independent predictor of acute clinical complications in patients with cardiovascular pathology.
CONCLUSIONS: The study made it possible to establish a significant decrease in the concentration of MMR-9 in the serum of patients with an unstable course of atherosclerosis compared to the control group (relatively healthy people). In addition, in patients with an unstable course of atherosclerosis, a tendency to reduce the concentration of this enzyme compared to persons with stable atherosclerosis was revealed.
Molecular mechanisms of drug resistance of glial tumor of brain. Part 2: Proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis and recurrency
Authors: Chernov Alexander N. , Galimova Elvira S. , Shamova Olga V.
Published: July 2022

The main reason for the low efficiency of glioblastoma therapy is its resistance to therapeutic procedures. The development of multidrug resistance occurs as a result of the selection of tumor clones during therapy. The resistant cell clones to radiotherapy and chemotherapy can proliferate, leading to tumor growth, in which its own vascular network is formed (angiogenesis), which promotes cell migration, invasion and the appearance of metastases and recurrent glioblastoma. The review examines the relationship at the molecular level of multidrug resistance with proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, metastasis, and the formation of glioblastoma relapses, with an emphasis on identifying new targets among proteins, microRNAs, signal transduction kinases, transcription factors, tumor-supressor genes and oncogenes.
Metabolic and structural changes in the myocardium of rats with hypercholesterolemia after prolonged administration of simvastatin
Authors: Belousova Elena  S. , Mikashinowich Zoia I. , Vinogradova Elena V.
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: The use of statins in cardiovascular pathologies in some cases is associated with the risk of developing statin-induced myopathy, the mechanisms of which are not fully understood. Only a few studies of molecular changes in the myocardium in statin myopathy are presented in the literature. However, the myocardium, as a type of muscle tissue, can also be involved in the pathological process. In this regard, in our opinion, it is advisable to analyze the biochemical changes in the rat myocardium against the background of the use of simvastatin.
AIM: To analysis of the dynamics of changes in the end products of glycolysis and the isoform composition of the giant protein titin in the heart muscle in animals with experimental hypercholesterolemia on the background of long-term administration of simvastatin.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was carried out on outbred male rats divided into 3 groups: control group (35 individuals) intact animals; comparison group (35 animals) intact animals treated with simvastatin for two months; experimental group divided into: subgroup 1 (35 individuals) animals with induced alimentary hypercholesterolemia, subgroup 2 (35 individuals) animals with induced alimentary hypercholesterolemia, which were administered simvastatin for two months. During the experiment, the content of the giant sarcomere protein titin, as well as changes in the concentration of pyruvate and lactic acid in the myocardium of the animals of the studied groups were studied.
RESULTS: In animals with a physiological course of metabolic processes, the administration of simvastatin caused the accumulation of lactic acid in the myocardium. Under conditions of alimentary hypercholesterolemia under the influence of simvastatin, a decrease in the elevated level of pyruvate and lactic acid was revealed, which is obviously due to a decrease in pathobiochemical shifts in energy metabolism. The determination of the isoform composition of titin made it possible to establish that the administration of simvastatin under conditions of alimentary hypercholesterolemia contributed to the appearance of early dystrophic changes in the myocardium, which is consistent with the results of earlier studies of impaired myocardial contractile activity under the influence of statins.
CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained indicate the need for a more thorough study of statins in terms of their safe use in patients with cardiovascular pathology.
