Authors: Adnan Adnan , Dyah Aryani Perwitasari  , Rita Maliza  , Nanik Sulistyani
Published: March 2024

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common form of genetic variation in humans. Missense SNPs can change protein structure and function. This study aimed to determine missense SNPs of the IRAK1 gene that can affect the amino acid sequence and lead to changes in protein structure and function, as well as their relationship as a risk factor for SLE. In this in silico method, several bioinformatics tools have been used to identify missense SNPs, including their properties and impacts, as well as their interaction networks with proteins. The tools used were PolyPhenv2, SIFT, PhD-SNP, PROVEAN, SNAP, Panthers, I-Mutant 3.0, and GeneMania. Four missense SNPs, rs11465830, rs1059702, rs1059703, and 10127175, were obtained from the NCBI SNP database. The SIFT test results showed that all the SNPs were tolerant. In the test results obtained using PolyPhen, the four SNPs were benign. The results of the probe test indicated that the four SNPs were neutral. When tested with SNAP, one SNP was neutral, and three others had an impact. In the PhD-SNP test, all SNPs were neutral. In the panther test, all SNPs were benign. The I-mutant assay showed that the four SNPs could decrease protein stability. Tests with GeneMania have reported that most interactions between genes were between IRAK1 and MYD88, and physical interactions were the most dominant form of interaction. Conclusion. rs10127175, rs11465830, rs1059702, and rs1059703 are missense SNPs in IRAK1, which can disrupt protein stability and be a risk factor for SLE.

Published: March 2024

Long-Term Evaluation-Licensed Assisted Access (LTE-LAA) has good potential for fair coexistence with Wi-Fi in an unlicensed spectrum. Though the LTE-LAA utilizes the same listen before-talk technique as the distributed coordination function in IEEE 802.11, it utilizes completely different parameters and transmission durations. For this reason, a fair coexistence between LTE-LAA and Wi-Fi leaves an open question on how the LTE-LAA network should choose its parameters. To tackle this issue, an analytical framework considering the effects of varying important parameters, which are the different initial back-off window sizes, the numbers of sensing durations, the maximum back-off stages, the number of retransmissions and the transmission opportunities for LTE-LAA and Wi-Fi nodes on their performances has been developed. The node and network airtime performances are evaluated by using the current standard parameters setting to see how this setting affects the node and network airtime performances. From there, optimal settings of the initial backoff window size and number of sensing durations are applied by using the obtained node airtime equation that is derived from the Markov renewal process and evaluated as functions of system parameters. The optimum initial backoff window size and number of sensing durations of LTE-LAA are evaluated and verified by the calculation and simulation using MATLAB software. The analysis shows that LTE-LAA maintained unfair coexistence with Wi-Fi by using the current standard parameter setting as its initial back off window size or sensing duration. But in contrast, using the optimum initial backoff window size and number of sensing durations of LTE-LAA shows that they can maintain proportional fairness. It is unconcealed that the initial backoff window size tuning of LTE-LAA carries a high possibility of achieving fairness because it needs less system data and achieves a higher exactness result.

Readings in queer pleasure
Authors: Kurowicka Anna , Kotwasińska Agnieszka
Published: March 2024

This article analyzes the queer pleasures of the 2015 sf movie by the Wachowski sisters,Jupiter Ascending. We find that these pleasures operate on two intertwined levels: the movie’s campy villains and over-the-top aesthetics reflect the themes of queer temporality and reproduction on the textual level, while the straight romance of the protagonist draws on the queer archive of fan fiction. We engage with queer studies and fan studies as critical frameworks that allow us to center affective pleasures of recognizing well-established romantic tropes and character archetypes. Critical debates surroundingJupiter Ascendingpoint to a larger discussion concerning the space for pleasure within sf texts and sf fan communities, while the movie’s commitment to fan fiction tropes and narrative practices anticipates recent changes in media consumption and production patterns.

Outbursts from young Class 0 protostars are now being detected using 3–5 μm light curves assembled from Spitzer and WISE/NEOWISE photometry. For comparison, we present a 4–8 μm light curve of the erupting, more evolved protostar V1647 Ori (HOPS 388), assembled from photometry obtained with the ISOCAM camera on ISO, the IRAC camera on Spitzer, and from WISE and NEOWISE. Covering 26 yr, this light curve spans the longest available time interval from infrared space-based telescopes capable of separating individual young stellar objects in nearby molecular clouds. This curve does not include a two year interval where the visible-light photometry shows a large drop in brightness. In the case of V1647 Ori, we find that the increase in brightness (3.1 mag) and duration (16 yr) are similar to infrared (3–5 μm) outbursts found toward Class 0 protostars in Orion.

Authors: Idowu Titilayo
Published: March 2024

Mass shootings and school violence have significantly increased in the last decade. As a result, the critical importance of school nurses as part of a school team in identifying risk factors to mitigate violence among students has been amplified. Promptly identifying risk factors can prevent violence-related traumas, including mass shootings, a frequent public health issue in the United States. Unfortunately, little emphasis has been placed on defining the pivotal role of school nurses in identifying risk factors and mitigating school shootings. Ensuring that school nurses are well prepared and confident in their self-efficacy to identify violence in students and address this public health issue will undoubtedly save lives and inform nursing education and practice. There has been no comprehensive list of training/ documents supporting a school nurse in preventing and mitigating violence at school. As a result, a comprehensive list of training/documents supporting nurses is provided.

Clinical Instruction in Nursing: A Leveraging Tool
Authors: Kantar Lina
Published: March 2024

Background:

Clinical educators influence the preparation of nursing students for complex professional roles. Although classroom instruction is well-structured and guided by an array of frameworks, clinical instruction remains vague. This study explored components of effective clinical instruction and the support needs of clinical educators.

Method:

A qualitative multiple case study design was used to examine the teaching experiences of 14 clinical faculty and preceptors, guided by Danielson's teaching framework.

Results:

When teaching domains of “planning” and “instruction” were emphasized, assessment of students' needs, behavioral management, and reflective practice were understated. Findings identified events and concepts deemed essential for effective clinical instruction, and participants' needs for ongoing support and guidance concurred with teaching gaps.

Conclusion:

This study attested to the complexity of clinical instruction, yet generated a clinical tool that may guide academia on designing professional programs to advance instruction in challenging clinical environments.

Extended existence results for FDEs with nonlocal conditions
Authors: Aljurbua Saleh Fahad
Published: March 2024

This paper discusses the existence of solutions for fractional differential equations with nonlocal boundary conditions (NFDEs) under essential assumptions. The boundary conditions incorporate a point $ 0\leq c < d $ and fixed points at the end of the interval $ [0, d] $. For $ i = 0, 1 $, the boundary conditions are as follows: $ a_{i}, b_{i} > 0 $, $ a_{0} p(c) = -b_{0} p(d), \ a_{1} p^{'}(c) = -b_{1} p^{'}(d) $. Furthermore, the research aims to expand the usability and comprehension of these results to encompass not just NFDEs but also classical fractional differential equations (FDEs) by using the Krasnoselskii fixed-point theorem and the contraction principle to improve the completeness and usefulness of the results in a wider context of fractional differential equations. We offer examples to demonstrate the results we have achieved.

Published: March 2024

The current study is based on the mechanism of mixed convection and solar thermal radiation in Walters'-B fluid considering tera-hybrid nano-structures using convective boundary constraints (CBC) and (CHF) constant heat flux. The heat transmission phenomenon of the current study is taken into account under the influence of triple-suspended nanoparticles. The current problem has several potential applications, including improvements in solar thermal energy systems, nanofluids, aerospace, cooling processes, automotive engineering, and numerical modeling methods. A numerical approach, namely Crank-Nicolson, is utilized in the modeling of 3D Walter's B fluid past over a 3D circular cylinder whose radius varies sinusoidally for evaluation of velocity and temperature distributions. For mathematical modeling, the Cartesian coordinate system was used for the current study. Comparative analysis between constant heat flux (CHF) and convective boundary constraints (CBC) was demonstrated graphically against multifarious parameters towards the temperature profile and velocity profiles along the x-axis and in the y-axis. Moreover, comparative analysis for dissimilar parameters was manifested for Nusselt number through tables, and graphically for skin friction co-efficient and Nusselt number and has shown excellent accuracy. It was estimated that by enhancing values of Qsr, C, Hs and Ec, it was addressed that temperature curve increases for CHF and CBC cases.

Authors: Wen Shuangshuang , Zhao Peng , Chen Siyu , Deng Bo , Fang Qin , Wang Jishi
Published: March 2024

B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is a malignant blood disorder, particularly detrimental to children and adolescents, with recurrent or unresponsive cases contributing significantly to cancer-associated fatalities. IKBKE, associated with innate immunity, tumor promotion, and drug resistance, remains poorly understood in the context of B-ALL. Thus, this research aimed to explore the impact of the IKBKE inhibitor MCCK1 on B-ALL cells. The study encompassed diverse experiments, including clinical samples, in vitro and in vivo investigations. Quantitative real-time fluorescence PCR and protein blotting revealed heightened IKBKE mRNA and protein expression in B-ALL patients. Subsequent in vitro experiments with B-ALL cell lines demonstrated that MCCK1 treatment resulted in reduced cell viability and survival rates, with flow cytometry indicating cell cycle arrest. In vivo experiments using B-ALL mouse tumor models substantiated MCCK1's efficacy in impeding tumor proliferation. These findings collectively suggest that IKBKE, found to be elevated in B-ALL patients, may serve as a promising drug target, with MCCK1 demonstrating potential for inducing apoptosis in B-ALL cells both in vitro and in vivo.

Published: March 2024

This study investigated the effect of rock-water interaction on microstructural properties of various weathering grade sandstone. Sandstone samples were acquired from the Sor-Range coal mine area, Pakistan, and were investigated using a tabletop scanning electron microscope (SEM). The characteristics of microstructures from micrographs were obtained using ImageJ software. According to the findings an increase in wet and dry cycles significantly affects the microstructures (pore spaces and microcracks). The porosity and microcracks density of sandstone increases with the number of wet and dry cycles. Furthermore, the length of microcracks increases as the weathering grade increases. As variation in rock macroscopic mechanical characteristics is directly associated with the deterioration of microstructures. Therefore, analyzing the effect of water-rock interaction in various weathering grades of rock can offer a more accurate reference index for assessing the stability of geotechnical structures.

The highest diversity index based on Shannon's diversity index and Margaleff's species richness index is in APL 17 with a secondary forest habitat type near to coffee plantations (H'=3.14, R=7.08) and the lowest is in Cluster 9 (H'=2.11, R=3.23) which is a secondary forest near to a geothermal power plant. Meanwhile, the highest evenness index was found in APL 17 (E=0.97) and the lowest in Cluster 7 (E=0.87) with a riparian habitat type. During the research, protected species were recorded, namely Troidesamphrysus and Troideshelena.

Silica nanoparticles (SNPs) have many important applications including anti-reflection coating, self-cleaning surface and drug carriers. They are usually synthesized from the commercial precursor such as tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). On the other hand, the natural silica can be found abundantly in organic materials such as rice husk and palm shell or in inorganic material such as beach sand and clay. Therefore, obtaining SNPs from the natural resources is very strategic for economic and technology considerations. This motivates the current study performing the synthesis and characterization of SNPs derived from the beach sand as one of natural resources available. Fort this purpose, the silica sands were mixed with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for 2 hours at 90⁰ C, prior to filtering process for gaining the sodium silicate solution (SSS) which was further refluxed with hydrochloric acid (HCl) of 3 and 5 M until its pH reached the value of 7, and finally dried. The characterizations carried out on the resulting SNPs included UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopies, XRD and SEM. The XRD study confirmed that the resulting samples are amorphous silica phase with the average crystallite size of 4.8 and 2.9 nm for the SNPs synthesized with 3 and 5 M chloric acid, respectively. The image analysis of SEM results revealed that the obtained SNPs have the average diameter of 11.6-12.00 nm. The formation of SNPs was further confirmed with the UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopies. On the basis of investigation results, it was shown that the desired silica nanoparticles can be successfully derived from the beach sand.

Analysis of the application of Risk Based Inspection method in the primary and secondary cooling pipe of TRIGA 2000 Bandung Reactor was conducted with the aim of obtaining a risk level value. To obtain the risk level value is carried out secondary cooling pipe thickness measurement using Ultrasonic Testing first. Furthermore, to obtain the risk level value, data such as pipe specifications, flowing fluid specifications, management system factors, measured pipe thickness data and previous inspection results, and pipe maintenance history will be used to calculate probability of failure (PoF) and Consequence of Failure (CoF) values. Probability of Failure and Consequence of Failure values are then plotted into a risk matrix to find out the level of risk that the component has. Risk level results can then be used to determine inspection methods and inspection intervals. The result of the risk level obtained from the calculation of the primary cooling pipe triga reactor 2000 is MEDIUM, lower than the risk level in the primary cooling pipe Kartini Reactor is MEDIUM HIGH. For the risk level of secondary cooling pipe Triga Reactor 2000 is MEDIUM is the same as the risk level of secondary cooling pipe Kartini Reactor. The recommended inspection methods for both reactors are the same using ultrasonic thickness measurement and visual examination inspection methods. Next inspection intervals for primary cooling pipes were 2068, 2092, 2104, 2110 and 2113 and for Kartini Reactor primary cooling pipes every 20 months. For Secondary cooling pipe Triga Reactor 2000 next inspection interval is 2067, 2090, 2101, 2106 and 2108 and for Kartini Reactor secondary cooling pipe every 10.11 years.

Develop an obstacle detection system for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) especially for small UAV is challenging. A robust system should be able to not only detect obstacles but the free region for the avoidance path as well. Besides, the configuration of the obstacles in the operating environment should never be disregard. In this paper, expansion cues from the detected feature points with the help of convex hull will be used to categorize the regions in the image frame. A micro LIDAR sensor is used as the initial detector of obstacle and queue for image capturing by the camera. Next, ORB algorithm is applied to find the obstacle regions and free space regions. This is done through the principal of object size changes and distance relationship in an image perspective. The proposed system was evaluated through series of experiments in a real environment which consist of different configuration of obstacles. The experiments show the proposed system was able to find the safe avoidance region regardless of the configuration of the obstacles in the operating environment.

Clinical profile and outcome of acute kidney injury in children admitted to paediatric intensive care unit: A prospective observational study
Authors: Rajput Gouri Chandrapalsing , Dhanawade Sara Subodh
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a commonly encountered problem in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU). There are limited reports on paediatric AKI from the Indian subcontinent. 
Objective: To determine the incidence, aetiology and outcome in paediatric AKI using Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria. 
Method: This prospective observational study was conducted in the PICU of a teaching hospital in Western Maharashtra, India, from July 2016 to June 2017 on patients aged 1 month to 17 years.
Results: The incidence of AKI was 18.8% (80/426). The mean age was 70 ± 60 months. Most (66.3%) cases had stage I AKI and 54% developed AKI within 72 hours. Sepsis (35%), pneumonia (25%) and tropical febrile illnesses (18.7%) were the common aetiologies. Complete recovery (CR) was seen in 79% and partial recovery (PR) in 21%.  CR was highest in stage I (91%) as compared to stages II and III (p=0.005). Mortality was 22% (18/80). Mortality significantly increased with the stage of AKI (p=0.003). Mechanical ventilation, inotrope support, shock and the stage of AKI had a significant association with mortality on bivariate analysis. Mechanical ventilation was found to be a significant independent predictor of mortality (p= 0.011). Renal replacement therapy was needed in 6 (8%) cases.
Conclusions: About one-fifth of children admitted to ICU developed AKI and most experienced mild transient AKI.  Moderate to severe AKI carried high mortality suggesting a dose-response effect. Infections remain the commonest cause and mechanical ventilation was an independent predictor of mortality.
Representations of Young People Aged 15-17 About Their Cultural Orientations and the Cultural Orientations of Their Immediate Social Environment

Published: March 2024

Psychological research into the influence of culture, intercultural interactions on different aspects of a person's life is still relevant. The presented research is devoted to identifying what values of what type of culture (traditional modern and dynamic according to J. Townsend) are shared by contemporary high school students aged 15-17 in Russia. Their own idea of values and how they represent the values of their immediate environment were studied. The measure of the coincidence of these ideas may indicate the state of cultural self-determination of high school students: they have their own values, different from the immediate environment, or, on the contrary, share the values of the immediate environment. The study revealed that the values of contemporary culture are the most popular among these young people. In general, the ideas of high school students about their values and the values of their inner circle coincide, since no significant differences have been revealed. Thus, the values of contemporary teenagers have been identified – the culture that allows them to be in harmony with themselves and their environment (society and nature).
