Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Hulias T. , Gryniuk O. ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: May 2024

Studying geography in school helps students develop a comprehensive understanding of the geography of the planet, including the study of their home country and territory, as well as the study of global laws and processes. By mastering geographic knowledge, schoolchildren can realize the role of geographic knowledge in solving various economic and social problems. Geography also has a significant impact on student development. Orienteering is a recreational sport in which participants must overcome a certain number of control points located on the terrain as quickly as possible. In addition, sports orienteering is a recreational activity that strengthens health, promotes the development of physical activity and improves mental activity. Combining orienteering with geography learning is a method that uses the practical application of geographic knowledge to improve a variety of skills.
Knowledge Dilution, Pollution, and Burden in Digital Media
Authors: Sridhar M. S.
Published: May 2024

Knowledge, having glorified as biggest power of present day, has too much repetition, fake/false information and growing at a fast rate with unedited and unchecked for quality of data and information on digital media. The result is obvious dilution and pollution of knowledge. Unchecked growth of the wrong kind also led to knowledge burden. Such knowledge burden cause decidophobia instead of knowledge aiding decision making. General decline in proportion of disruptive research also led to enormous increase of repetitive growth of knowledge. How libraries can overcome these problems in their information services is the biggest challenge of the time.

Authors: Yazzie-Mintz Tarajean , LeClair-Diaz Amanda , Yazzie-Mintz Ethan
Published: May 2024

Community-Based Inquiry (CBI) is a research method in which Indigenous communities engage in asking and answering their own questions about their early childhood practices. Community members are the researchers: they formulate the questions based on community needs, create the methodology to pursue answers to those questions, find solutions, and put those solutions into practice to strengthen early childhood education in their communities. In this introductory piece, we share the philosophical and practical foundations of CBI, and introduce readers to the visionary community and university scholars who, throughout this special issue, share their stories of innovation, insight, and advocacy on behalf of early learners, families, and their communities.

Meeting Our Ancestors’ Legacy: The Community-Based Inquiry of Wicoie Nandagikendan
Authors: Arcoren Jewell , YoungBear-Tibbetts Fawn
Published: May 2024

More than twenty-five years ago, a group of women in South Minneapolis conceived of “a place to learn words,” a place where our children could learn the Dakota and Ojibwe languages. Today that place is Wicoie Nandagikendan Dakota and Ojibwe Immersion Program. For our entire existence, we have partnered with other organizations and borrowed space in others’ buildings to teach our children. Our Community-Based Inquiry began as a process of finding and creating our own space. Our inquiry has evolved into a journey of understanding that space is much more than a physical “place to learn words”; our space will be a place of health, wellness, culture, and language for our children, our organization, and our community.   
Profile of patients coming to the department of physical medicine and rehabilitation for locomotor disability certification: a 5-years observational study
Authors: Saha Sucheta , Gupt Sandeep K. , Mandal Suprakash
Published: May 2024

Background: The persons with locomotor disability are eligible for various social welfare benefits from the Government under ‘The persons with disabilities (Equal opportunities, protection of rights and full participation) Act, 1995’ along with other causes of disabilities like blindness, hearing impairment etc. and recent enactment of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016. Understanding the utilization of services is crucial in enhancing assistance for individuals with certifiable disabilities. This study aimed to observe the clinico-demographic profile of patients coming to outpatient Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitations for locomotor disabilities certification and 5 years’ trend in the number of patients getting disability certificate.
Methods: This retrospective study was based on the data taken at time of disability certification in a multispecialty tertiary care government medical college in Northern India. All persons with locomotor disability who were issued disability certificate between 2014 and 2018 were included in the study.
Results: A total of 857 patients were issued disability certificates during the study period of 2014 to 2018. Among the 744 adult patients, only 149 (20%) were female. Most of them were urban residents. In locomotor disability, post-polio residual paralysis was the most common diagnosis encountered, followed by amputations and cerebral palsy. Most of the applicants were having a disability of 40-50%.
Conclusions: Awareness has to be generated about the disability benefits and disability certification. Utilisation of services by females should be encouraged. Robust data and literature need to be built up for prevention and management of locomotor disability.
The Totos of India: Socioeconomic and Demographic Structure of a Particularly Vulnerable Tribe
Authors: Banerjee Debashmita , Murry Benrithung
Published: May 2024

Background: Indigenous populations are more vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the macroeconomic population. Due to poor social connections, the level of education, socioeconomic advancement, and sickness risk of the tribal population of India were affected. Thus, indigenous cultures are more susceptible to COVID-19. The present research aims to explore the population structure, socio-economic condition, and COVID-19 vaccination status among the Toto population of Alipurduar, West Bengal. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional design to collect household data among the Totos (PVTG), a vanishing sub-Himalayan population. The entire Toto community, comprising 294 households with 1374 individuals, was covered in Totopara. Data were collected through a pre-tested, semi-structured schedule and analyzed using Stata 14. Results: Demographic analysis has revealed a sharp decline in the sex ratio and decadal growth rate compared to the 2011 census. From the multiple logistic regression, it has been found that unmarried people were less likely to get fully vaccinated compared to married individuals. The employed population was 1.97 times more fully vaccinated compared to unemployed individuals. Similarly, smartphone non-users were less likely to get fully vaccinated and partially vaccinated compared to those individuals who do possess smartphones (p<0.001). Conclusion: Therefore, inactive government initiatives, low fertility, a lack of community involvement, and the policy inactivity of local institutions are the main causes of negative decadal growth. It is believed that participatory implementation is essential to improving awareness of neglect as well as the acceptance rate of public health care services.
İSİS’TEN GÜNÜMÜZE KUTSALIN PERDESİ

Published: May 2024

Bu makalede, perde (ya da peçe) imgesi; insanın kutsal olanı anlamasına engel oluşturan, kendi algısının kusurluluğu üzerinden bir metafor olarak ele alınacaktır. Doğu ve batı sanatında perde ve peçe imgeleri örtülü olanın kutsal oluşu ve insanın anlayamayacağı sırlar barındırdığına dair göndermeler içerir. Bu perdenin ortadan kalkabilmesi için, insanın sınırlı algılarından kurtulması gerekecektir. Dolayısıyla perdenin açılması metaforuyla anlatılmak istenen bir çeşit aydınlanmadır. Sais’te olduğu söylenen Peçeli İsis heykelinin üzerinde de “Hiçbir ölümlü peçemi açamadı daha” sözünün yazılı olduğu söylenir. İsis peçesinin açılmasını, ölümsüzlükle ilişkilendirir. Bu bağlamda perdenin kalkması, peçenin açılması insanın kendi sınırlı zihnine ait bilgisinin tamlığına işaret eder ki, bu aynı zamanda kendi dışındaki dünyaya ait bilgisinin de tamlığıdır. İmgeler, bilincin görsel dönüşümleridir. Bu nedenle imgelerin insan zihninde uyandırdığı anlam, insandan insana değişir. Anlayış ve bakış açısı genişledikçe, imgenin ifade ettiği anlam da değişecektir. Bu bağlamda perde imgesi, farklı inanışlara ve coğrafyalara göre değişen kutsalın, değişmeyen örtüsü olmuştur.

Published: May 2024

With the increase in life expectancy, there is an increase in the number of elderly people among the population, therefore, an important task for Russian health care is to ensure healthy aging. An examination of a group of centenarians can help in studying the factors and causes that contribute to a long life without development or with the later development of age-associated diseases. In many ways, the long life expectancy and better health of such people are genetically determined. At the same time, longevity, as a complex sign, is influenced by many genetic polymorphisms, often with a small individual effect. Identification of hereditary determinants and their effects on the mechanisms of aging is necessary to identify the foundations of healthy longevity and to find protector mechanisms and targets by which it is possible to prevent the occurrence or slow the progression of age-related diseases.

The pathology of the cardiovascular system is the most significant of the diseases associated with aging, since it is the leading cause of mortality according to world statistics. Thus, cardiovascular aging is an important factor in determining a person’s life expectancy.

This article examines the methodological aspects of studies involving centenarians, and also provides an overview of genes that affect both life expectancy and longevity, as well as the development and course of cardiovascular diseases.
“You have served me well:" The Shakespeare Empire in Central Europe
Authors: Drábek Pavel
Published: May 2024

Shakespeare has often served as an instrument of cultural colonialism. In this essay I argue that the current practice of Shakespeare studies in many ways replicates this pattern. By priming the discourse through Shakespeare, it perpetuates logocentric regimes of knowledge that tend to impose reductive perspectives—such as the binaries of Shakespeare’s original–adaptation and that of the author–adapter, but also scripture–exegesis, London–province or London–Continent, centre–periphery and empire–colonial subjects. Drawing on case studies from five centuries—of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century travelling performers, through eighteenth-century German theatre, to twentieth- and twenty-first-century writing and performance, I argue for a need to revisit the logocentric and colonial epistemology. I call for breaking away from the critical heritage of the “Shakespeare Empire,” for reconceptualising how we use Shakespeare, and for refocusing our critical attentions to the thick descriptions of cultures and crafts that make and host Shakespeare.
“This is one Lucianus, nephew to the king!:” Political Dynamics of Four Hungarian Translations of "Hamlet"
Authors: Almási Zsolt
Published: May 2024

In this paper I endeavour to retell a partial history of the Hungarian translation of Hamlet’s commentary: “This is one Lucianus, nephew to the King!” (3:2:239) on the “Murder of Gonzago,” aiming to elucidate the intricate interplay between translation, cultural discourse, and socio-political dynamics. Hamlet’s commentary, seemingly straightforward yet laden with complexity, poses implications capable of reshaping the trajectory and purpose of his theatrical experiment, crafted to probe and establish Claudius’ guilt. The partial history of translations encompasses the epochs of Ferenc Kazinczy (18th century) and János Arany (19th century) up to the modern renderings of István Eörsi and Ádám Nádasdy (20th-21st centuries). Within this framework, I claim that exploring these translations of Hamlet’s commentary offers a gauge of Hamlet’s position in Hungarian cultural discourse. The evolving connotations of words, reflective of linguistic shifts, imbue layered meanings not only onto the statement itself but also onto the theatrical experiment it encapsulates. This exploration of translation, interpretation, and linguistic evolution sheds light on Shakespeare’s and Hamlet’s socio-cultural-political role in Hungary, as translations serve not merely as transparent channels of meaning but also as reflections on the political and cultural commitments of translators and their audiences.
AS COMEMORAÇÕES DO SESQUICENTENÁRIO DA INDEPENDÊNCIA DO BRASIL NOS JORNAIS DE BELÉM (1972)
Authors: Almeida Paixão Karine
Published: May 2024

O artigo discute como os jornais de Belém cobriram as celebrações do Sesquicentenário da Independência do Brasil em 1972 e como o regime militar usou essa data para reforçar os valores e princípios propagados pela ditadura, o que pode ser entendido como um fato baseado na categoria da "tradição inventada" de acordo com Hobsbawm (2008). Destacamos a importância das fontes históricas na pesquisa e análise do passado, apresentando o método de análise de conteúdo de Franco (2018) como uma abordagem produtiva e consistente na pesquisa histórica. O artigo também enfatiza que, em regimes autoritários, festivais cívicos e exaltação de heróis nacionais são métodos frequentemente apropriados pelo Estado como meio de propagar sua ideologia e justificar a manutenção do poder. Apesar da cobertura da imprensa local ter sido influenciada pelo discurso patriótico, uma análise crítica das fontes permite identificar nuances e contradições que desafiam uma interpretação simplista dos eventos históricos. A análise de fontes iconográficas, como fotografias e cartazes, revela a presença de elementos de dissidência e subversão nas celebrações, indicando a presença de vozes dissidentes que desafiam as narrativas oficiais da história.
CATÁLOGO ILUSTRATIVO E TRILHA ECOLÓGICA COMO ESTRATÉGIAS DE ENSINO NA MITIGAÇÃO DA IMPERCEPÇÃO BOTÂNICA
Authors: Dos Santos Silva Daniella , Neves Delgado Marina
Published: May 2024

Muitos estudantes apresentam desinteresse pelas plantas, o que intensifica a falta de percepção das mesmas por eles, fenômeno denominado impercepção botânica. Posto isso, o presente trabalho apresentou como objetivo mitigar a impercepção botânica dos estudantes que cursavam o componente Morfologia e Taxonomia de Fanerógamas do curso de Licenciatura em Biologia do Instituto Federal de Brasília – Campus Planaltina (IFB-CPLA) a partir da leitura de um catálogo confeccionado com a flora das áreas antrópicas do IFB-CPLA, além da realização de uma trilha ecológica no local. Para tanto, a pesquisa foi desenvolvida em seis etapas: 1ª etapa – Realização do pré-questionário; 2ª etapa – Aplicação do catálogo; 3ª etapa – Realização do pós-questionário; uma semana depois, 4ª etapa – Realização do pré-questionário; 5ª etapa – Execução da trilha ecológica; 6ª etapa – Realização do pós-questionário. A partir dos pré e pós-questionários, foram aplicados testes estatísticos para comparação dos dados. Os resultados comprovaram a hipótese geral de que o uso das estratégias de ensino (catálogo e trilha) reduziria a impercepção botânica, visto que o somatório total de acertos das questões após as estratégias foi maior que a soma de acertos antes da aplicação. Entretanto, os dados das análises de comparação refutaram a hipótese específica em que se afirmava que o catálogo ilustrativo poderia obter melhor eficiência na aprendizagem do que a trilha, pois não houve diferença estatística entre ambas. Portanto, ressalta-se a importância do desenvolvimento de recursos didáticos diferentes e complementares, como leituras de guias de campo e as saídas de campo, que tenham a finalidade de suscitar a curiosidade e atração dos estudantes para o aprendizado da flora.

O uso de embalagens com atmosfera modificada em produtos de peixe facilita a manter o frescor, a segurança alimentar e aumentar a estabilidade comercial. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar os parâmetros de qualidade de produtos de filés de Macrodon ancylodon embalados em atmosferas modificadas armazenados a 2°C. As alterações foram acompanhadas através de avaliação sensorial, com aplicação do Método de Índice de Qualidade (QIM), determinação do pH, bases voláteis nitrogenadas totais (N-BVT), quantificação das aminas biogênicas, cor instrumental, composição gasosa das embalagens e análises microbiológicas. Foram elaborados produtos de filés de M. ancylodon embalados em atmosferas a vácuo (V) e com misturas gasosas de 50% CO2/50% N2 (G1), 60% CO2/40% N2 (G2) e 70% CO2/30% N2 (G3). A dissolução do CO2 na fase aquosa do músculo dos filés nos primeiros dias de estocagem foi influenciada pelo teor desse gás nas embalagens e ocasionou as principais alterações nos parâmetros de qualidade avaliados. As principais alterações sensoriais nos produtos G2 e G3 foram cor, o odor e as mudanças no aspecto do muco dos filés. Os efeitos bacteriostáticos do CO2 sobre o crescimento dos micro-organismos deteriorantes prolongaram a estabilidade comercial do produto G3. A perda de frescor dos produtos pelo aumento do pH, acúmulo de N-BVT e quantidade de putrescina e cadaverina também foi influenciado pela composição da mistura gasosa nos produtos. A correlação entre os parâmetros avaliados indicou que a estabilidade comercial dos produtos foi de 6 dias para G2 e 10 dias para G3.

The Impact of Islamic Financial Deepening on Economic Growth in Indonesia
Authors: Anwar Moh
Published: May 2024

Indonesia is starting to pay attention to this trending issue to boost national economic growth because Indonesia is still below other countries regarding the development of its financial sector, especially in Islamic finance. This study employs a quantitative research approach, utilizing multiple linear regression analysis, to investigate the influence of various aspects of Islamic finance on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as an indicator of economic growth in Indonesia. This research is expected to be able to examine in more detail the role model of Islamic financial deepening in Indonesia and how it affects economic growth. Through a comprehensive discussion, we examine the potential impact of Islamic financial instruments, including Murabahah, Mudharabah (Islamic deposit), total assets of Islamic banking, Islamic stock market capitalization, and Islamic stock transaction volume, on economic growth. Findings suggest that while certain components, such as government bonds (sukuk), have a significant positive influence on GDP through infrastructure financing and investor confidence, others, like corporate bonds (sukuk), may have limited direct impact due to their focus on specific corporations rather than broad-based economic growth. This research contributes to the understanding of the role of Islamic finance in Indonesia's economic development and informs policymakers, practitioners, and academics on optimizing its contributions while ensuring financial stability and inclusion.

Published: May 2024

Background: White spot lesion is a demineralization process indicated by the increased of enamel microporosity. A tegillarca granosa shell contains 98.7% calcium and Vitis vinifera contains phytochemical compounds with fluoride, which has a potential to stimulate remineralization. Purpose: To analyze the Tegillarca granosa shell combination with Vitis vinifera and fluoride in decreasing enamel microporosity. Methods: The cream was prepared by combining 10% and 20% Tegillarca granosa shell with 10 grams of Vitis vinifera extract and 100 mg of fluoride. The cream was tested beforehand for viscocity and pH. Furthermore, 16 premolars were etched and divided into four groups. Group 1 was smeared with placebo (negative control) and Group 2 was smeared with casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (positive control). The other groups were smeared with cream 10% (Group 3) and 20% (Group 4) Tegillarca granosa shell combination with Vitis vinifera and fluoride. Teeth were treated three times a day for 30 minutes and soaked in artificial saliva. After 14 days, the enamel microporosity was carried out using a scanning electron microscope. The data was analyzed with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test followed by post-hoc least significant difference (LSD). Results: The enamel microporosity showed significant difference between Group 1 and the other groups. There was no significant difference between Groups 2, 3, and 4 (p<0.05). Although there was no significant difference between Group 3 and 4, the lowest one was in Group 4 (p>0.05). Conclusion: The cream, prepared by combining Tegillarca granosa shell with Vitis vinifera and fluoride, is effective in decreasing the enamel microporosity.

Background: One of the benign tumors of the salivary glands is Warthin’s Tumor (WT), which consists of cystic bilayer papillary epithelial cells accompanied by the presence of a lymphoid stroma. Several cases have been reported to turn malignant. One of the markers developed to identify tumor proteins is fibrinogen-like protein 1 (FGL1). Along with lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3), FGL1 establishes an immune checkpoint pathway that plays a role in the mechanism of tumor immune escape. Not much has been reported regarding FGL1 expression in WT, but some studies have reported that its expression is associated with tumor growth. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the location of FGL1 expression in WT and its relation to the mechanism of tumor immune release through the interaction between FGL1 and LAG-3. Methods: Cases of WT (n = 11) and breast cancer (n = 1) were used as positive controls. All cases were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and Recombinant Anti-FGL1 antibody. The FGL1 expression was observed in the cell membrane, cytoplasm, and lymphoid stroma. The results are presented in the form of figures. Results: All cases of WT expressed FGL1 in the cell membrane, cytoplasm, and lymphoid stroma. Its expression in the cell membrane and cytoplasm is possibly related to the process of tumorigenesis and the increasing size of the lesion. Additionally, its expression is seen in the lymphoid stroma, which is closely related to immune escape by inhibiting lymphocytes against tumor cells. Conclusion: Warthin’s tumor cells express FGL1, and this expression plays a role in tumor immune escape mechanisms and tumor growth.

Background: It is not uncommon for a dentist to encounter endodontic cases of severely curved root canals. Performing endodontic treatment on severely curved root canals can be a daunting task due to the notable risk of creating an iatrogenic error including ledge, perforation, or even instrument separation. Therefore, radiograph image analysis, proper endodontic treatment planning, selection of appropriate instruments and technique is essential to ensure success in endodontic treatment of severely curved root canals. Purpose: This case series aims to elaborate the instruments and technique to safely negotiate, clean, shape, and seal root canals with severe curvature. Cases: Three patients came to Universitas Airlangga Dental Hospital due to a severe toothache. After anamnesis and examination, diagnosis was established, and endodontic treatment was deemed necessary. During radiographic image analysis, it is visible that the root canal had a severe curvature. Case Managements: Access opening was performed to allow a straight-line access, orifices were preflared, root canals were negotiated, and glide path was established. Then, shaping, cleaning, and sealing can be performed conveniently until the root canal terminus. Subsequently, coronal restoration was fabricated to restore function and esthetics. Conclusion: With proper knowledge, case analysis, appropriate instruments and techniques, severely curved root canals can be safely and predictably negotiated, cleaned, shaped, and sealed.

Background: Poor bone quality, sometimes caused by osteoporosis, can lead to dental implant failure. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) can differentiate into osteoblasts and offer an alternative therapy for poor bone conditions. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effect of hUCMSCs induction on the extent of osseointegration by the new bone formation area of dental implants in osteoporotic animal models. Methods: The samples were divided into two groups, i.e., control and induced hUCMSCs groups at different times. An ovariectomy was performed to assess the osteoporosis condition. The control group was injected using gelatin, and the treatment group was administered hUCMSCs. Terminations were conducted at 2 and 4 weeks, respectively. The collected samples were then subjected to histological examination to analyze new bone formation and its proportion. In addition, alkaline phosphatase staining was also performed to evaluate the mineralization area. The data was analyzed using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: Both for new bone formation area as well as the proportion of new bone, it was observed that the best results were in the group with induction of hUCMSCs at 2 weeks. Alkaline phosphatase staining also confirmed that the highest mineralization was observed in the same group. Conclusion: hUCMSCs induced new bone formation in the implant placement in osteoporotic animal models.

Research on the aetiology of neural tube defects (NTDs) has made progress in recent years. However, the molecular mechanism of apolipoproteins underlying NTDs development remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the function of apolipoprotein M (ApoM) in the pathogenesis of NTDs and its underlying mechanisms. We demonstrated that ApoM expression was reduced in the spinal cord samples of rat models and human fetuses with NTDs respectively. Specifically, lack of ApoM resulted in reduced cytosolic localisation of Elavl2 and caused Nnt mRNA degradation, which further led to impaired cell homeostasis by suppressing PINK1-PRKN-mediated mitophagy and promoting apoptosis and subsequent NTDs formation. Moreover, Zic3 directly interacted with the promoter of ApoM and activated its transcription. Lastly, intra-amniotic delivery of adenoviral recombinant Zic3 or ApoM could promote mitophagy and alleviate apoptosis in spinal cords of NTDs. Collectively, these findings highlight the important role of the Zic3-ApoM-Elavl2-Nnt axis in cellular homeostasis during neural tube development, thereby revealing an intracellular molecular regulatory mechanism of ApoM, providing a mechanistic basis for understanding embryonic neural development, and offering experimental evidence for potential therapeutic targets for NTDs.
Nonlinear System Identification and PID Control: A Combined Approach using Structure Selection and Particle Swarm Optimization
Authors: Nabavi Hossein
Published: May 2024

System identification is a crucial first step in controller design. It involves selecting an appropriate identification model and estimating the model's parameters. This paper proposes a PSO algorithm that balances global exploration and local exploitation to overcome these issues. PSO incorporates the differences between particles and takes feedback from particle memories to accurately reflect the search process. The paper also discusses the use of PSO for PID controller design, specifically for tuning the proportional gain (Kp), integral gain (Ki), and derivative gain (Kd) parameters. This paper aims to utilize PSO for both parameter identification and control of nonlinear systems. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been investigated on two nonlinear systems. The PID parameters obtained based on the proposed method and the genetic algorithm are compared, showing that the PSO-based method is superior in faster convergence, higher accuracy, improved dynamic characteristics, and optimization time.

This study aimed to explore potential biomarkers and mechanisms following bariatric surgery. Two gene expression profiles from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were analysed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in subcutaneous adipose tissue (AT) post-bariatric surgery. Subsequently, Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Gene-Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), and Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network analyses were employed to identify hub genes and associated pathways. Among the DEGs, 29 genes were downregulated. Enrichment analysis revealed that the downregulated DEGs significantly participated in inflammatory responses. GSEA provided comprehensive evidence that most genes were enriched in pro-inflammatory pathways before surgery, while after surgery, most genes were enriched in metabolism. In the PPI network, five key genes, including TREM2, MNDA, HP, C5AR1, and S100A8, were identified, with most validated as highly expressed in obesity by the Attie Lab Diabetes and another dataset, GSE72158. Bariatric surgery induces a significant shift from an obesity-promoting inflammatory state to an anti-inflammatory state, accompanied by improvements in adipocyte metabolic function. This represents a key mechanism for the enhancement of adipose tissue function following bariatric surgery. This study deepens the understanding of the benefits of bariatric surgery and provides potential biomarkers or therapeutic targets.

The Author analyze the transitional mode of movement of a passenger train caused by sudden braking by the driver. To study the possibility of derailment of passenger cars, a simulation model of the movement of a train consisting of a locomotive and twenty passenger cars was developed in the Universal Mechanism software environment, designed to study the dynamics and kinematics of mechanical systems, which include railway rolling stock. The developed model allows taking into account the longitudinal, transverse and vertical vibrations of all cars and locomotive. All bodies in the model are assumed to be absolutely rigid. The assumption of non-deformability of the bodies is based on the fact that the stiffness of the spring suspension and elastic connections is significantly less than the structural rigidity of the bogie frames and the bolster structure, and the frequency of elastic vibrations of these bodies is much higher than the frequency of their vibrations on the spring suspension. Passengers and cargo in a wagon are considered to be non-deformable and integral with the wagon body, similarly in the case of a locomotive body. Between the elements of the system, connections are involved that regulate certain relative movements of these elements.
