Published: April 2024

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is a horticultural plant with high economic value, consumed as fresh fruit or a processed product. However, this plant still requires serious handling, especially in tomato seeds. The seeds are coated with quite slimy flesh and need to be separated using a suitable method so that the flesh layer can be cleaned optimally. Tomato seeds have a high water content, causing the seeds to easily damaged and quickly decrease their viability. Therefore, it is necessary to dry the seeds properly to lower the water content while maintaining the seed’s quality. This research aimed to calculate the time needed to reduce the water content of tomato seeds in a dehumidified drying machine, analyze the germination percentage of tomato seeds resulting from dehumidified drying using various separation techniques, and measure the effect of separation techniques. The temperature of dehumidified drying affects the germination and vigor of tomato seeds. The experiment was carried out using a two factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method, namely separation technique (i.e., left for 24 hours, using 2% HCl, and using 10% Na2CO3) and temperature in a dehumidified drying machine (i.e., 30, 40, 50, and 60 °C). The highest germination percentage and vigor index were produced in the treatment with 2% HCl for 2 hours with a drying temperature of 40°C. The separation technique and drying temperature influenced the germination percentage and vigor index, but the interaction between separation techniques had no effect.

The use of tobacco and electronic cigarettes is harmful to health and can cause genetic damage, increasing the
risk of cancer and other serious diseases. Although e-cigarettes contain fewer toxic chemicals than
conventional tobacco, recent studies have shown that the vapor caused by burning produced by e-cigarettes
can also be toxic and carcinogenic. Various studies have found that those exposed to tobacco and vaping have
significantly higher levels of damage to their DNA in different types of cells and tissues. Evidence has
accumulated that e-cigarette vaping can alter cellular functions and DNA itself, increasing the risk of cancer
and aging. The present work evaluatesthe cytogenetic damage in individuals exposed to conventional cigarette
vapors by burning with nicotine and vapors without nicotine, compared with a non-smoking population. The
study included participants with an average age of 30 years (+/-10), with a majority of men representing 70%
of the sample. The Chi-square test found no significant statistical differences between the men and women
exposed (p<0.05). The results of chromosomal fragility found in the four groups studied (control group,
conventional smokers, vapers with nicotine and vapers without nicotine) showed breaks and gaps in one or
both of the chromatids in all exposed individuals, with highly significant statistical differences (p<0.001)
compared to the unexposed control group. No statistically significant differences were found between the
group of conventional smokers and the vapers with and without nicotine, nor between the two types of vapers
(p>0.05). In conclusion, cytogenetic evidence of DNA damage produced by vaping is shown in the same
proportions as a normal cigarette. This will significantly impact public health, which must be considered in
preventive actions.

Authors: Sritharan Mithusha , Siraj Samyah , Brunton Ginny , Dubrowski Adam
Published: April 2024

Background

Advancements in technology have enhanced education, training, and application in health care. However, limitations are present surrounding the accessibility and use of simulation technology (eg, simulators) for health profession education. Improving the accessibility of technology developed in university-based research centers by nonprofit organizations (NPOs; eg, hospitals) has the potential to benefit the health of populations worldwide. One example of such technology is 3D-printed simulators.

Objective

This scoping review aims to identify how the use of open-source databases for the distribution of simulator designs used for 3D printing can promote credible solutions for health care training while minimizing the risks of commercialization of designs for profit.

Methods

This scoping review will follow the Arksey and O’Malley methodological framework and the Joanna Briggs Institute guidance for scoping reviews. Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and PsycINFO will be searched with an applied time frame of 2012 to 2022. Additionally, gray literature will be searched along with reference list searching. Papers that explore the use of open-source databases in academic settings and the health care sector for the distribution of simulator designs will be included. A 2-step screening process will be administered to titles and abstracts, then full texts, to establish paper eligibility. Screening and data extraction of the papers will be completed by 2 reviewers (MS and SS) for quality assurance. The scoping review will report information on the facilitation of distributing 3D-printed simulator designs through open-source databases.

Results

The results of this review will identify gaps in forming partnerships with NPOs and university-based research centers to share simulator designs. The scoping review will be initiated in December 2024.

Conclusions

The information collected will be relevant and useful for stakeholders such as health care providers, researchers, and NPOs for the purpose of overcoming the gaps in research regarding the use and distribution of simulation technology. The scoping review has not been conducted yet. Therefore, there are currently no findings to report on.

The Impact of Digital Self-Monitoring of Weight on Improving Diabetes Clinical Outcomes: Quasi-Randomized Study (Preprint)
Authors: Fundoiano-Hershcovitz ‪Yifat , Ritholz Marilyn D , Horwitz David L , Behar Ephraim , Manejwala Omar , Goldstein Pavel
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND

The management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity, particularly in the context of self-monitoring, remains a critical challenge in health care. As nearly 80% to 90% of patients with T2D have overweight or obesity, there is a compelling need for interventions that can effectively manage both conditions simultaneously. One of the goals in managing chronic conditions is to increase awareness and generate behavioral change to improve outcomes in diabetes and related comorbidities, such as overweight or obesity. There is a lack of real-life evidence to test the impact of self-monitoring of weight on glycemic outcomes and its underlying mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to assess the efficacy of digital self-monitoring of weight on blood glucose (BG) levels during diabetes management, investigating whether the weight changes may drive glucose fluctuations.

METHODS

In this retrospective, real-world quasi-randomized study, 50% of the individuals who regularly used the weight monitoring (WM) feature were propensity score matched with 50% of the users who did not use the weight monitoring feature (NWM) based on demographic and clinical characteristics. All the patients were diagnosed with T2D and tracked their BG levels. We analyzed monthly aggregated data 6 months before and after starting their weight monitoring. A piecewise mixed model was used for analyzing the time trajectories of BG and weight as well as exploring the disaggregation effect of between- and within-patient lagged effects of weight on BG.

RESULTS

The WM group exhibited a significant reduction in BG levels post intervention (P<.001), whereas the nonmonitoring group showed no significant changes (P=.59), and both groups showed no differences in BG pattern before the intervention (P=.59). Furthermore, the WM group achieved a meaningful decrease in BMI (P<.001). Finally, both within-patient (P<.001) and between-patient (P=.008) weight variability was positively associated with BG levels. However, 1-month lagged back BMI was not associated with BG levels (P=.36).

CONCLUSIONS

This study highlights the substantial benefits of self-monitoring of weight in managing BG levels in patients with diabetes, facilitated by a digital health platform, and advocates for the integration of digital self-monitoring tools in chronic disease management. We also provide initial evidence of testing the underlying mechanisms associated with BG management, underscoring the potential role of patient empowerment.

Authors: Shi Yihai , Liu Jinpei , Qiu Yifan , Liu Yilong , Xu Wenping , Ning Weichen , Shi Peimei , Yuan Zongli , Wang Fang
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND

Gastrointestinal endoscopy represents a useful tool for the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. Video platforms for spreading endoscopy-related knowledge may help patient understand the pros and cons of endoscopy on the premise of ensuring accuracy. However, videos with misinformation may lead to adverse consequences. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the quality of gastrointestinal endoscopy-related videos on YouTubeTM and to assess whether large language models (LLMs) can help patients obtain information from videos more efficiently.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to evaluate the quality of gastrointestinal endoscopy-related videos on YouTubeTM and to assess whether large language models (LLMs) can help patients obtain information from videos more efficiently.

METHODS

Methods: We collected information from YouTubeTM videos about three commonly used gastrointestinal endoscopes (gastroscopy, colonoscopy and capsule endoscopy) and assessed their quality (rated by the modified DISCERN Tool, mDISCERN), reliability (rated by JAMA), and recommendation (rated by Global Quality Score, GQS). We tasked LLM with summarizing the video content and assessed it from three perspectives: accuracy, completeness and readability.

RESULTS

A total of 167 videos were included. According to the indicated scoring, the quality, reliability and recommendation of the three gastrointestinal endoscopy-related videos on YouTubeTM were overall unsatisfactory, and the quality of the videos released by patients was particularly poor. Capsule endoscopy yielded significantly lower GQS than did gastroscopy and colonoscopy. LLM-based summaries yielded accuracy scores of 4 (4-5), completeness scores of 4 (4-5), and readability scores of 2 (1-2).

CONCLUSIONS

The quality of gastrointestinal endoscope-related videos currently on YouTubeTM is poor. Moreover, additional regulatory and improvement strategies are needed in the future. LLM may be helpful in generalizing video-related information, but there is still room for improvement in its ability.

Prediction analysis of T and B cellepitopes showed that ORF124 KHV protein had 14 and 11 T cell epitopes (IAd, Rothbard/Taylor pattern),and had 10 B cell epitopes, suggested that the protein can be used as a vaccine candidate. ORF124 gene hasbeen expressed in Escherichia coli under pET32-a(+)vector.
The Black American Church: A Reactionary and Ideological Apparatus of Slavery
Authors: Mocombe Paul C.
Published: April 2024

This work argues that Denmark Vesey, Nat Turner, Gabriel Prosser, David Walker, Henry Highland Garnet, amongst a few others, were the reactionary (dialectical) exceptions to the black church, not the norm, an (ideological) institution established to interpellate and indoctrinate blacks to accept their conditions in slavery and integrate them into the Protestant Ethic and the spirit of capitalism. In other words, the aforementioned were the enslaved who used Christian dogma to (negative dialectically) respond to the barbarity of slavery by violently convicting white Christian society for not living up to its values, ideas, and ideals given the treatment of African people by so-called Christians. In the latter sense it was reactionary; in the former, it was an ideological apparatus of domination and control for the institution of slavery and black integration into the bourgeois living of the Protestant Ethic and the spirit of capitalism. The contemporary attempt to racially vindicate the black church as a sui generis revolutionary institution overflowing with Africanisms that stood against the Protestant Ethic and the spirit of capitalism is ahistorical and ideological reaped in pseudoscientific propositions stemming from postmodern and post-structural theories.

Authors: Shabeena Shabeena , Ashiq Iqra , Rehman Chaudhary Saud Ur
Published: April 2024

This study investigates the determinants of digital financial inclusion (DFI) and its influence on the ease of doing business for micro-enterprises in India. Utilizing data from the World Bank's Enterprises Survey of Micro Firms (ESM) 2022, encompassing 998 micro-enterprises, this research examines variables related to access and usage of digital finance. Two categories of independent variables—digital resource capability and firms' and owners' characteristics—are analyzed as explanatory factors for DFI. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is employed to assess disparities in perceived business obstacles between micro-enterprises with and without access to digital finance. Additionally, a logistic regression model is constructed to identify the determinants of DFI. The findings indicate that DFI plays a significant role in mitigating business obstacles related to regulation and market externalizes for micro-enterprises. Moreover, results from both the logistic regression model and marginal effects estimation underscore the importance of factors such as internet access, educational attainment, and owner experience in facilitating DFI among micro-enterprises. This study offers insights valuable to diverse stakeholders including government agencies, entrepreneurship promoters, financial institutions, and international organizations involved in promoting digital financial inclusion. A noteworthy contribution of this study lies in its examination of the determinants of DFI specifically among micro-enterprises in India, leveraging extensive and specific data collected by the World Bank. By shedding light on this under explored area, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of the factors influencing digital financial inclusion in the context of India's micro-enterprise sector.

Анализ механизма внедрения инновационной продукции в лифтовой отрасли
Authors: Савостина Алла Алексеевна
Published: April 2024

В статье указывается, что для повышения уровня безопасности проживания и потребления электроэнергии, а также для дальнейшего развития многоэтажного строительства необходимо внедрять новые инновационные технологии в лифтовую отрасль. В статье проводится исследование организационно-экономических механизмов, при помощи которых осуществляется замена лифтов, отработавших свой срок эксплуатации, на современные, т.е. соответствующие требованиям ТР ТС 011/2011 энергоэффективные лифты, в уже существующую застройку. Отмечается использование для этого административного метода, т.е. запрета эксплуатации лифтов, не соответствующих нормам ТР ТС 011/2011 после 25.02.2025 г. Эта мера стимулирует сбор средств от собственников помещений в многоквартирных домах и также обеспечивает содействие Правительства РФ и регионов по предоставлению отсрочки платежей за установленный лифт и оплате процентов по кредиту на покупку отечественного инновационного оборудования в период до кризиса 2022 г. В результате этих мер в первом квартале 2023 г. был достигнут значительный рост производства отечественных современных лифтов, по сравнению на тот же период 2022 г. Отмечено, что поставка лифтового оборудования по новому экономическому механизму в условиях кризиса, т.е. с 50 %-ной оплатой и 50 %-ной беспроцентной рассрочкой на пять лет, увеличила в 2023 г. закупку лифтового оборудования для замены в многоквартирных домах. Предложены варианты совершенствования отечественного лифтостроения по включению в развитие лифтостроения финансирования за счет программы «зеленых облигаций», которые представляют собой долговой финансовый инструмент для привлечения средств экологического проекта; кроме того, для внедрения передовых инновационных технологий в отечественную лифтовую отрасль необходимо заключить офсетную сделку с ведущим лифтовым производителем.

Published: April 2024

Большинство университетов нашей страны являются сложными многофункциональными комплексами, решающими задачу повышения качества высшего образования, которая является одной из самых приоритетных на данный момент. Одно из условий решения этой задачи — создание специальной образовательной среды, обеспечивающей подготовку специалистов не только сегодня, но и в обозримом будущем. Современный университет — это уникальная форма организации и развития образовательной среды, которая повышает эффективность образовательных пространств, способствует объединению образования, науки, исследований, инновационных технологий и бизнеса, интегрированная с городом и отраслью, повышающая региональную привлекательность. Значительное внимание и содействие процессу стремительной трансформации системы российского высшего образования со стороны государства и региональных властей в последние годы обусловлено повышением практической значимости высшего образования, ценности межвузовской кооперации и партнерства с ведущими профильными компаниями. Но изменения происходят и внутри университета: появляются новые образовательные технологии, меняется образовательная среда, обновляется материально-техническая база, само образование становится более гибким и адаптивным, повышается значимость кросс-дисциплинарных связей. При этом та же внешняя среда требует от университетов большей устойчивости, более развитой инфраструктуры и многофункциональности, чтобы объединить образование, научную деятельность, инновации и культуру. По этой причине материальное пространство должно отвечать четким функционально-технологическим требованиям к процессам, которые будут разворачиваться и развиваться внутри университета и на его территории в соответствии с принятой функциональной моделью всего учебного комплекса, а также иметь возможность адаптироваться к изменениям. Как и с помощью каких инструментов могут быть решены эти задачи на современном уровне развития высшего образования, архитектуры, строительства?

Social entrepreneurship as a special type of business is aimed at reducing social tension in society, ensuring employment, accessibility and variety of social services. Most social entrepreneurs in Russia belong to the category of small businesses. Improving state regulation of the development of small social entrepreneurship helps to reduce the severity of social problems and strengthen interaction between the state and business on this issue. The purpose of the article is to assess trends in the development of small social entrepreneurship in the country, current measures of state regulation and develop proposals for their improvement. The study revealed trends in the development of small businesses in the social sphere in Russia, reflecting high growth rates in the number of small social entrepreneurship entities, its spread to various areas of activity with a predominance in the areas of education, social services and sports and leisure. The growth in the number of social entrepreneurs is mostly observed in large conglomerations. However, the continuing low share of social enterprises in the total number of small businesses in the country, the analysis of the implemented measures of state support for them, does not allow us to draw a conclusion about the sufficiency of the conditions created in the country for the support and promotion of social entrepreneurship. State regulation of the development of small social entrepreneurship is proposed to be carried out in the direction of improving the institutional environment, expanding the range of entities that ensure the development and promotion of small businesses in the social sphere.

The article examines the feedback between authorities and management and citizens in the general system of politics and management while identifying not only the social, but also the political meaning of it. The political and semantic content of the feedback is seen by the authors in the fact that only by stabilizing the general social background and solving the social problems of the population is it possible to preserve and strengthen the political stability of the state and its national sovereignty. Feedback is studied through such a popular mechanism as citizen requests, which, within the framework of political analysis, are interpreted as a resource: the involvement of citizens in management processes; formation of social and political culture of citizens; strengthening the cohesion of people in local areas; increasing the level of citizens' trust in the state as the most important political resource. The authors propose expedient directions for increasing the relevance of feedback from the state and citizens, taking into account modern challenges and risks, as well as internal political milestones.

The article reveals the basics of extremism and terrorism in cyberspace. Given the development of the Internet, there is a growing interest among extremist groups and terrorist organizations in using cyberspace, as a result, cyberterrorism and cyber extremism have become a potential threat worldwide. It has been revealed that information necessary for people to learn, develop, and create new ideas can be used by terrorists and extremists as a means of committing a crime. Despite the complex of measures aimed at combating this category of destructive phenomena, by the end of 2023, an almost 30 percent increase in cybercrimes was recorded compared to 2022. In this regard, it is important to understand that preventing such a socially dangerous category of crimes is a much more effective measure than combating them.

This article examines the representation of the cultural identity of political science students within the discipline “Intercultural Communication” in several aspects (“I” - “Other”, group culture, discourse and pragmatics). The article emphasizes the need to rethink such concepts as “group culture”, “identity”, “political discourse” and “intercultural competence” for the development of cultural identity and the formation of intercultural communicative competence of future political scientists in accordance with modern realities. The article examines how a written text (essay) represents the cultural identity of students in situations of intercultural interaction, what markers activate cultural identity in intercultural communication, and determines the extent to which the intercultural communication of interlocutors depends on the influence of their cultural identity. The research data were collected from 25 students of the Political Science major studying in 2023–2024. Although the results of the study are not conclusive, they indicate that cultural identity dominates students' ethnocentric views and that stereotypes continue to influence the negotiation of identities in intercultural communication.

O dano existencial a partir da concepção de dignidade humana em Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola
Authors: Moreira Mota da Silva Amanda , Nascimento Santana Lelis Mariana
Published: April 2024

Objetivo: o presente artigo visa analisar o instituto do dano existencial no campo da responsabilidade civil a partir da noção de dignidade pensada por Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola. Apesar da extensa distância temporal que separa o filósofo das novas concepções de dano no direito civil, este trabalho buscou estabelecer o diálogo entre a liberdade em Pico e a dimensão existencial tutelada pelo dano ao projeto de vida. Para tanto, ampara-se no recorte epistemológico da constitucionalização do direito civil, no qual houve o privilégio do ser sobre o ter e a ampla contemplação da pessoa como pressuposto da ordem jurídica, albergados no princípio – e valor supremo – da dignidade da pessoa humana. Para atingir o objetivo final, a categoria analítica de pesquisa foi o existencialismo, sobretudo relacionado à autodeterminação da pessoa humana. Ademais, a problemática apresentada se refere à possibilidade de aplicação do dano existencial no ordenamento brasileiro com amparo na ideia de dignidade construída por Pico Della Mirandola. Resultado: toda essa análise revela como resultado a pertinência do diálogo entre a filosofia de Pico e as modernas noções da responsabilidade civil, sobretudo quando ancorada no existencialismo, com destaque à autodeterminação como essencial na tutela do projeto de vida. Método: por fim, foi utilizada como metodologia a abordagem qualitativa, com natureza básica e objetivo exploratório, mediante pesquisa bibliográfica.

Akademisk frihet og sikkerhet i fare? Finlands forskningssamarbeid med autoritære stater
Authors: Mäkinen Sirke
Published: April 2024

Denne artikkelen drøfter Finlands forskningssamarbeid med to autoritære stater, Kina og Russland, som begge har vært viktige partnere for finske forskningsinstitusjoner siden år 2000. I den siste tiden har det imidlertid vært økende uro rundt forverring av forhold rundt akademisk frihet i Kina og Russland og de mulige sikkerhetsrisikoene et samarbeid med kinesiske og russiske institusjoner og forskere kan innebære. Med tanke på denne nye situasjonen spør vi hvordan endringene på dette området betraktes og oppleves av forskere som er basert i Finland, og som gjennomfører studier eller samarbeider med aktører i Kina eller Russland innen samfunnsvitenskap og humaniora. Undersøkelsen er basert på intervjuer med Kina-eksperter og en spørreundersøkelse blant Russland-eksperter, begge utført i 2023. Artikkelen framholder at i forbindelse med samarbeidet med autoritære stater har det oppstått et dilemma mellom våre kunnskapsinteresser på den ene siden og etiske og (geo)politiske hensyn på den andre. Til tross for dette dilemmaet anbefaler ekspertene på Kina og Russland at person-til-person-kontaktene ivaretas.
Abstract in English:Academic Freedom and Security at Risk? Finland’s Research Collaboration with Authoritarian StatesThis paper discusses Finland’s research collaboration with two authoritarian states, China and Russia. China and Russia have both been significant partners in Finland’s international research collaboration in the 2000s. Recently, however, there have been growing concerns regarding the decline of academic freedom in China and Russia and potential security risks in collaborating with them. In this new situation, we should ask how the given changes have been viewed and experienced by the experts studying (and/or having collaborations with) China or Russia in the field of social sciences or humanities in Finland. This article asks, for example, why we should collaborate (or not) with such authoritarian states. The research for the paper is based on author-conducted interviews of China experts as well as a survey with Russia experts in 2023. The paper argues that a dilemma between our knowledge interests and ethical and (geo)political considerations of international research collaboration persists in collaboration with authoritarian states. Despite this dilemma, China and Russia experts advocate safeguarding person-to-person contacts, if not research collaboration, with scholars from the given states.
