Two mechanisms for the spontaneous emergence, execution, and reprogramming of chemical logic circuits
Authors: Peng Zhen , Adam Zachary R.
Published: September 2023

A key question in origin-of-life research is how primitive life or life-like systems obtained reusable and reprogrammable machineries of processing information to respond to various environmental and internal stimuli. One strategy to approach this question is viewing living systems as universal chemical computers. This approach focuses upon uncovering how reusable and reprogrammable chemical NOT, AND, and OR logic gates could appear under prebiotically possible scenarios where simple chemicals and second- or lower-order reactions are more frequent than macromolecules and higher-order reactions. Here, we model two theoretical mechanisms of forming Boolean gates based on geochemically plausible reaction systems that could have preceded complex biopolymers. The mechanisms exploit simple bistable autocatalytic systems to encode binary variables and use heterogeneous dilution rates to differentially activate or deactivate autocatalysis in different reactors. We found that NOT, AND, and OR gates, as well as more complex logic circuits, can spontaneously arise from connected, well-mixed flow reactors based on (i) catalysis by a heterodimer between mutually inhibitory autocatalysts or (ii) selectively permeable tunnels connecting reactors. Our results suggest that the prebiotic emergence of chemical logic circuits provides new guides for experimentally actualizing chemical computation.
Confucianism and China’s Victims of SGBV
Authors: Seil Caroline
Published: September 2023

The term ‘comfort women’ refers to young Asian females who were forced into prostitution by the Imperial Japanese Army between 1932 and 1945, resulting in gross human rights violations. The paper will explore how pre-existing gender relations and sociocultural dynamics contributed to this violence and will analyse the factors that allowed it to persist. As a conceptual framework, Confucianism, an ancient Chinese belief system that emphasises differentiation of women and men, is used to argue for the facilitation and legitimization of sexual and gender-based violence against Chinese women. Based on arguments of gender hierarchy, the sexual desire of Japanese soldiers, and ethnic victimization, victims faced social ostracization and discrimination.
Keywords: Comfort Women, Confucianism, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), Gender Inequality
MAST4 promotes primary ciliary resorption through phosphorylation of Tctex-1

Published: September 2023

The primary cilium undergoes cell cycle–dependent assembly and disassembly. Dysregulated ciliary dynamics are associated with several pathological conditions called ciliopathies. Previous studies showed that the localization of phosphorylated Tctex-1 at Thr94 (T94) at the ciliary base critically regulates ciliary resorption by accelerating actin remodeling and ciliary pocket membrane endocytosis. Here, we show that microtubule-associated serine/threonine kinase family member 4 (MAST4) is localized at the primary cilium. Suppressing MAST4 blocks serum-induced ciliary resorption, and overexpressing MAST4 accelerates ciliary resorption. Tctex-1 binds to the kinase domain of MAST4, in which the R503 and D504 residues are key to MAST4-mediated ciliary resorption. The ciliary resorption and the ciliary base localization of phospho-(T94)Tctex-1 are blocked by the knockdown of MAST4 or the expression of the catalytic-inactive site-directed MAST4 mutants. Moreover, MAST4 is required for Cdc42 activation and Rab5-mediated periciliary membrane endocytosis during ciliary resorption. These results support that MAST4 is a novel kinase that regulates ciliary resorption by modulating the ciliary base localization of phospho-(T94)Tctex-1. MAST4 is a potential new target for treating ciliopathies causally by ciliary resorption defects.
Yeast recovery in batch ethanol fermentation

Published: September 2023

Yeast recovered after the fermentation of sugars can be reused again to ferment another batch. Based on the quantity of yeast used during fermentation, the amounts that can be recovered from these industries can be enormous. This experiment sought to prove that yeast derived after fermentation of sucrose still have good yeast count and viability of the quantities are just enough for pitching. The settled yeast from the beer well was collected and prepared in propagation vessels, where urea, zinc sulfate, magnesium sulfate, vitamins, ecozyme and food grade phosphoric acid were added. These were the nutrients needed for the growth and multiplication of yeast cells. The recovered yeast from the two fermenters Fv4 and Fv5 has an initial yeast count of 2x108 cell/mL and 2.9x108 cell/mL respectively. Initial viabilities for both samples were at 100%. Experiments are focused on the fermentation of the recovered yeast, which gave an average of 8% v/v ethanol. Therefore, harvesting yeast has a potential to be reused again in fermentation processes thereby reducing costs on procuring fresh yeast for each batch.

Introduction: Provision of manual chest compressions in a diving bell using a conventional technique is often impossible, and alternative techniques are poorly evidenced in terms of efficacy and sustainability. The first mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device suitable for use in this environment, the NUI Compact Chest Compression Device (NCCD), has recently been designed and manufactured. This study assessed both the efficacy of the device in delivering chest compressions to both prone and seated manikins, and the ability of novice users to apply and operate it. Methods: Compression efficacy was assessed using a Resusi Anne QCPR intelligent manikin, and the primary outcome was the proportion of compressions delivered to target depth (50–60 mm). The gold standard was that achieved by expert CPR providers delivering manual CPR; the LUCAS 3 mCPR device was a further comparator. Results: The NCCD delivered 100% of compressions to target depth compared to 98% for the gold standard (interquartile range 1.5%) and 98% for the LUCAS 3 when applied to both supine and seated manikins. The NCCD sometimes became dislodged and had to be reapplied when used with a seated manikin. Conclusions: The NCCD can deliver chest compressions at target rate and depth to both supine and seated manikins with efficacy equivalent to manual CPR and the LUCAS 3. It can become dislodged when applied to a seated manikin; its design has now been altered to prevent this. New users can be trained in use of the NCCD quickly, but practise is required to ensure effective use.

These elements of industrial activity are proposed to describe the conditions for improving the quality of the living environment in preschool educational institutions. They include such parameters as children's health, social qualities and improvement of preschool facilities for elementary school students.
¿Cómo se representa el cuerpo gordo desde la literatura?: Leer el cuerpo gordo: miradas a la narrativa mexicana contemporánea desde la adipocrítica
Authors: León Romero Ana Luisa
Published: September 2023

La necesidad de reflexionar alrededor del cuerpo y preguntarnos qué es y cómo se entiende este, qué es una corporalidad considerada normal o marginal, cómo se representa el cuerpo en la literatura y desde qué visión, hace que el libro de David Loría Araujo, Leer el cuerpo gordo: miradas a la narrativa mexicana contemporánea desde la adipocrítica (2022), sea una fuente de información valiosa para profundizar en estos temas. Es importante no perder de vista eso que dice Lucrecia Masson, que “nuestros cuerpos gordos, enfermos, viejos o discapacitados son construcciones sociales. Nuestros cuerpos, así definidos, son resultado de relaciones sociales donde unos cuerpos se privilegian sobre otros. Existe una escenografía de lo social, con cuerpos actuantes que logran diferentes repartos” (Masson Lucrecia et al., citado en Loría Araujo, 2022, p. 226).

Authors:   Institute of Korean Studies, Kwon Hyewon
Published: September 2023

Allowing a foreign military in a sovereign country is often controversial. Yet, the United States has had hundreds of military facilities in foreign nations, including South Korea and Türkiye (Turkey) for nearly seven decades. The two American allies have traded partial autonomy in return for the military assistance of the U.S. This study selects the two G20 member states for a comparative case study, given their geostrategic importance to the U.S. defense agenda from the Cold War era to the present. This article aims to elucidate how American military bases are politically affected by the security situation and anti-Americanism in the host nations. Furthermore, this paper underscores the imperative for both countries to recalibrate their stances on American military bases amid the continuously evolving international political landscape, utilizing the Autonomy Security Trade-off Model as a framework.

COVID-19 has caused widespread disruption, necessitating tough decisions for global economy and services, including one of the central social pillars, education. As in the rest of the world, Greek universities transformed and adapted their educational services to continue to operate during the pandemic. This article presents how a series of a physics laboratory work for thermal concepts was conducted to evaluate its effectiveness on students’ understanding and its impact on their self-efficacy beliefs. The results showed that the post-test performance on students’ understanding of thermal concepts and their self-efficacy beliefs levels toward physics teaching were higher than pre-test performance but still moderate. A critical challenge was to maintain the experiential consistency with the in-person laboratory classes of all the previous academic years and the promotion of group work of students.

Published: September 2023

Objective Phentermine is a commonly used weight-loss agent in the United States, but there is a little information about the use of phentermine for patients with obesity taking antipsychotic medications.Methods We gathered 57 patients with obesity taking antipsychotic medications whose phentermine treatment was simultaneous with or after any type of antipsychotic exposure and collected data of clinical information, initial/follow-up anthropometric variables, and adverse events (AEs) for the 6-month study period.Results In total, the mean body weight reduction (BWR) was 4.45 (7.04) kg, and the mean BWR percent (BWR%) was 3.92% (6.96%) at 6 months. Based on the response to phentermine, the patients were classified into two groups: the responder (n=25; BWR% ≥5%) and nonresponder (n=32; BWR% <5%) groups. The responder group’s mean BWR and BWR% were 10.13 (4.43) kg and 9.35% (4.09%), respectively, at 6 months. The responders had higher rates of anticonvulsant combination therapy (ACT; responder, 72.0% vs. non-responder, 43.8%; p=0.033) and a shorter total antipsychotic exposure duration (responder, 23.9 [16.9] months vs. non-responder, 37.2 [27.6] months; p= 0.039). After adjusting age, sex, and initial body weight, ACT maintained a significant association with phentermine response (odds ratio=3.840; 95% confidence interval: 1.082–13.630; p=0.037). In the final cohort, there was no report of adverse or new-onset psychotic symptoms, and the common AEs were sleep disturbances, dry mouth, and dizziness.Conclusion Overall, phentermine was effective and tolerable for patients with obesity taking antipsychotic medications, and ACT (predominantly topiramate) augmented the weight-loss effect of phentermine.

Bu savaştaki tecavüz vakaları sayısal veri açısından dünya tarihinde en fazla olanlardandır. Alman askerleri savaşın seyrine göre öncelikli olarak Sovyetler Birliği ve diğer işgal ettikleri ülkelerin kadınlarına tecavüz etmiş, savaşı kaybetmeye başladıklarında ise Sovyet ve müttefik askerleri intikam amacıyla Alman kadınlarını cinsel açıdan hedef almışlardır. Tecavüzü en çok gerçekleştirenler ise Rus Kızıl Ordu askerleridir. Tecavüzler tek tek değil kitlesel olarak gerçekleşir. Onlarca asker tek bir kadına günlerce hatta aylarca tecavüz eder. Müttefik askerleri intikam alırcasına Alman asker ve yerine göre sivil halkı öldürür, yerleşim yerlerini bombalar ve milyonlarca kadına tecavüz ederler. Alman kadınları hiçbir zaman bu savaştaki kadar utandırılmamış, kişilikleri psikolojik açıdan bu kadar sarsılmamıştır. Tecavüze direnenlerin çoğu öldürülmüş, on binlercesi ise intihar etmiştir. Tecavüz ve intihar olayları hem savaş hem de savaş sonrası Almanya’sında sürmüş, çoğu Alman kadını Almanya’nın tekrar bağımsızlaştığı 1955 yılına kadar müttefik askerlerinin tecavüzlerine katlanmak zorunda kalmıştır.

De superventas en su época a un perfecto desconocido: rescatando del semiolvido a Eduardo López Bago
Authors: Herranz Miguel
Published: September 2023

El presente artículo tiene por objeto indagar en cuáles fueron algunos de los motivos por los que Eduardo López Bago fue excluido del canon literario decimonónico en España. Para ello, se analizan tanto el contenido como las circunstancias que rodearon la publicación de cuatro de sus obras: El periodista, La prostituta, La pálida y El cura. Al mismo tiempo, se ponderan otros elementos que tienen que ver con cuestiones ideológicas para observar cómo su preterición canónica está fundamentada, en gran parte, en el profundo rechazo que ciertos sectores conservadores sentían con respecto a la temática, estilo y amoralidad de varias de sus novelas.
De novela de tesis a novela de crisis: El escándalo de Pedro Antonio de Alarcón (1875) frente a la homosexualidad
Authors: Rios-Font Wadda
Published: September 2023

La novela El escándalo de Pedro Antonio de Alarcón (1875) presenta la historia de un joven aristócrata desheredado, en su trayectoria de una vida disoluta—marcada sobre todo por una intensa relación rayana en la homosexualidad con su amigo Diego--a la recuperación de título, fortuna y reputación a través del matrimonio con la joven Gabriela, todo bajo el consejo del jesuita P. Manrique. Aunque la novela se ha visto insistentemente como ficción religiosa conservadora, aquí se plantea su lectura a través de las connotaciones morales y jurídicas del concepto de escándalo en la España del siglo xix. Vista de esta forma, la obra puede considerarse una reflexión sobre la aparición de la heterosexualidad obligatoria en una sociedad en transición de la noción de sodomía a una identidad homosexual esencializada. Así, sería uno de los poquísimos textos del xix español que da cuenta de las reacciones provocadas por esta historia cultural.

FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI PENGGUNAAN BENIH TIDAK BERSERTIFIKAT DI KAMPUNG TANAH MERAH DISTRIK WARMARE KABUPATEN MANOKWARI
Authors: Isir Yuliana , Supri Hadi  , Hutabarat Martua
Published: September 2023

Tanaman Padi (Oryza sativa) merupakan salah satu  jenis tanaman pangan  yang banyak dikembangkan di Kabupaten Manokwari, hal ini terjadi karena kebutuhannya terus meningkat seiring meningkatnya jumlah penduduk yang mengkonsumsi beras.  Jenis tanaman padi yang  diusahakan  adalah padi sawah dan padi ladang. Dalam  proses produksi  petani di Kampung Tanah Merah  umumnya tidak menggunakan  unsur teknologi yang cukup mendukung seperti pupuk pestisida (obat-obatan), benih bersertifikat  maupun peralatan-peralatan lain yang dapat memperlancar proses produksi, serta teknik budidaya yang diterapkan juga masih sangat sederhana. Lahan yang digunakan masih relative kecil yaitu kurang lebih 0,5 ha.  Hal ini terjadi diduga akibat kurangnya faktor pendukung berupa modal dalam pengadaan sarana produksi dan kurangnya pengetahuan yang baik dalam kegiatan usahatani padi ladang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui besarnya penggunaan benih padi tidak bersertifikat dan mengetahui faktor-faktor yang diduga berpengaruh  terhadap penggunaan  benih tidak bersertifikat di Kampung Tanah Merah Distrik Warmare Kabupaten Manokwari. Hasil penelitian meninjukan  Jumlah penggunaan benih padi tidak bersertifikat oleh petani di Kampung Tanah Distrik Warmare Kabupaten Manokwari adalah sebesar 905 kg/ha /musim tanam, dengan  rata-rata  sebesar 30,16 kg/kk. Berdasarkan hasil analisis regresi linear berganda secara simultan bahwa persamaan regresi dari hubungan variabel pendidikan formal (X1), pendidikan non formal (X2), dummy motivasi tinggi menggunakan benih tidak bersertifikat (X3.1), Dummy motivasi rendah menggunakan benih tdak bersertifikat, modal (X4) dan luas lahan (X5) secara bersama-sama berpengaruh sangat nyata (signifikan) terhadap penggunan benih padi tidak bersertifikat (Y).  Sedangkan secara parsial hanya variabel luas lahan yang berpengaruh sangat nyata (signifikan) terhadap penggunaan benih padi tidak bersertifikat.

Kelangkaan pupuk anorganik dan sulitnya memperoleh varietas benih padi unggul akan menyebabkan terjadinya penurunan produktivitas dan selanjutnya terjadi penurunan produksi. Dampaknya target swasembada beras tidak akan tercapai. Salah satu upaya yang dilakukan adalah dengan inovasi teknologi yang ramah lingkungan, yaitu metode SRI (System of Rice Intensification). Tujuan kajian ini adalah mengkaji perbaikan sistem usahatani dengan metode SRI (System of Rice Intensification) terhadap produktivitas usahatani petani di Kabupaten Teluk Bintuni. Tujuan khusus menganalisis penggunaan pupuk organik dan anorganik yang paralel dengan perbaikan sistem usahatani melalui jenis varietas/ galur padi, dan penggunaan sistem tanam tandur jajar terhadap produktivitas padi di beberapa sentra produksi padi sawah di Kabupaten Teluk Bintuni. Metode yang digunakan melalui pembuatan demplot usahatani tentang penerapan sistem pertanian semi organik dengan berbagai varietas, galur, dan cara penanaman yang telah digunakan petani. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa perbaikan sistem usahatani dengan metode System of Rice Intensification (SRI) melalui demonstrasi plot mampu meningkatkan produktivitas padi sawah sebesar 6,48 Ton GKP/Ha/MT. Hasil ini jauh lebih tinggi dibandingkan produktivitas padi sawah milik masyarakat petani di Kabupaten Teluk Bintuni selama delapan tahun terakhir sebesar 3,83 ton/ha.

Published: September 2023

SCIENTIFIC RELEVANCE. One of the challenges associated with the development of medicines lies in creating a quality management system (QMS) and tools to assess its performance.

AIM. The study aimed to propose a QMS model for the development of biotechnology-derived medicinal products and a performance evaluation tool for this QMS universally applicable in the research centre of the company regardless of the specific activities of its individual divisions.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study analysed internal audit outcomes, noncompliance responses, and the document flow of the research centre. Parameter values for quality index (QI) calculations were entered into validated Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Data analysis and visualisation involved using the Microsoft Power Business Intelligence (BI) business analytics platform (mainly, the Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service components).

RESULTS.The QMS was implemented, and the authors proposed their QMS performance evaluation tool universally applicable to all the divisions of the research centre. CONCLUSIONS. The authors proposed their QMS model for the development of biotechnology-derived medicinal products and the QI tool for collecting digital data, carrying out standardised monitoring, and tracking QMS status changes. The QI tool is universal for all company departments regardless of their requirements, easy to use, and customisable by adding individual company-specific quality parameters. This makes the QI tool applicable not only to drug development departments but also to other research units.

Published: September 2023

In this study, β-Ti3Au lattice structure was proposed for the first time in the literature as a filling material to increase the energy absorption performance of thin-walled tubes. In this context, the energy absorption performances of conventional lattice structure (i.e., BCC and FCC) filled thin-walled tubes and proposed novel β-Ti3Au lattice structure filled thin-walled tubes with proposed were compared experimentally. BCC hybrid, FCC hybrid and β-Ti3Au hybrid structures produced by additive manufacturing technology using PA2200 powder were crushed and evaluated by considering various crashworthiness criteria such as EA and SEA. The results showed that the β-Ti3Au hybrid structures are better crashworthiness performance than that of traditional filling BCC and FCC lattice structure filled thin-walled tubes. In particular, the β-Ti3Au hybrid structure has 18.17% and 19.39% higher EA values than BCC hybrid and FCC hybrid, respectively. These values are 16.50% and 15.66% for SEA values, respectively. As a result, the current investigation showed that the suggested β-Ti3Au lattice structures as a filler material can be a significant alternative for applications where energy absorption performance is critical.
Euro-optimism Intertwined with Pragmatism: Elite and Popular Discourses on Georgia’s Europeanization through Q Methodology
Authors: Tsuladze Lia
Published: September 2023

The article discusses Georgian political and intellectual elites’ and citizens’ discourses on the country’s Europeanization in the context of pragmatic and identity considerations. The research is based on Q methodology that, in contrast to its traditional use, has been integrated into in-depth interviews with political and intellectual elites and focus group discussions with citizens. Q analysis reveals that both elites and citizens are characterized by Euro-optimistic views perceiving Georgia’s Europeanization in light of pragmatic considerations. The major pragmatic factors are related to the improved protection of human rights and the safeguarding of the country’s security. Unlike previous studies, the current research shows that, at least at the rhetorical level, Georgia’s Europeanization is not perceived as a threat to the national identity.
