Demonstration of Taxonomic Name Data Services through ChecklistBank
Authors: Bánki Olaf , Döring Markus , Jeppesen Thomas , Hobern Donald
Published: September 2023

ChecklistBank is a publishing platform and open data repository focused on taxonomic and nomenclatural datasets. It was launched at the end of 2020, and is a joint development by Catalogue of Life (COL) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). Close to 50K datasets, mostly originating from published literature mediated through Plazi's TreatmentBank, Pensoft Publishers and the European Journal of Taxonomy, are openly accessible through ChecklistBank. Data sets also include sources with (Molecular) Operational Taxonomic Units, such as from UNITE / PlutoF, National Center for Biotechnology Information Taxonomy / European Nuclotide Archive, and the International Barcode of Life / BoLD. Next to various taxonomic datasets (also from regional and national levels, e.g., shared through GBIF) and nomenclatural datasets (e.g., Zoobank, International Plant Names Index), ChecklistBank also links out to the various original initiatives websites (e.g., World Register of Marine Species, Integrated Taxonomic Information System, COL China, Species Files).

ChecklistBank also holds all the tooling that is needed to assemble the COL Checklist, the authoritative global species list of all described organisms. The COL Checklist 2023 (Bánki et al. 2023), containing more than 2.1 million accepted species, is assembled from 164 global taxonomic data sources mediated through ChecklistBank. The COL Checklist contains name usage identifiers, and each checklist version and its underpinning data sources are issued with digital object identifiers.

After the launching of ChecklistBank, the EU funded Biodiversity Community Integrated Knowledge Library (BiCIKL) project contributed to additional improvements to ChecklistBank. These added functionalities include, amongst others, a name usage search, name match, and a taxonomic data comparison. The tooling used to assemble the COL Checklist has been generalised through a ChecklistBank 'project functionality' supporting the assembly of a species list.

During the demonstration, several of the functionalities, developed in the context of the EU BiCIKL project, will be highlighted.
The Role of the CLIP Model in Analysing Herbarium Specimen Images
Authors: Kommineni Vamsi Krishna , Kattge Jens , Gaikwad Jitendra , Tautenhahn Susanne , Koenig-ries Birgitta
Published: September 2023

The number of openly-accessible digital plant specimen images is growing tremendously and available through data aggregators: Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) contains 43.2 million images, and Intergrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio) contains 32.4 million images (Accessed on 29.06.2023). All these images contain great ecological (morphological, phenological, taxonomic etc.) information, which has the potential to facilitate the conduct of large-scale analyses. However, extracting this information from these images and making it available to analysis tools remains challenging and requires more advanced computer vision algorithms. With the latest advancements in the natural language processing field, it is becoming possible to analyse images with text prompts. For example, with the Contrastive Language-Image Pre-Training (CLIP) model, which was trained on 400 million image-text pairs, it is feasible to classify day-to-day life images by providing different text prompts and an image as an input to the model, then the model can predict the most suitable text prompt for the input image.

We explored the feasibility of using the CLIP model to analyse digital plant specimen images. A particular focus of this study was on the generation of appropriate text prompts. This is important as the prompt has a large influence on the results of the model. We experimented with three different methods: a) automatic text prompt based on metadata of the specific image or other datasets, b) automatic generic text prompt of the image (describing what is in the image) and c) manual text prompt by annotating the image. We investigated the suitability of these prompts with an experiment, where we tested whether the CLIP model could recognize a herbarium specimen image using digital plant specimen images and semantically disparate text prompts.

Our ultimate goal is to filter the digital plant specimen images based on the availability of intact leaves and measurement scale to reduce the number of specimens that reach the downstream pipeline, for instance, the segmentation task for the leaf trait extraction process. To achieve the goal, we are fine-tuning the CLIP model with a dataset of around 20,000 digital plant specimen image-text prompt pairs, where the text prompts were generated using different datasets, metadata and generic text prompt methods. Since the text prompts can be created automatically, it is possible to eradicate the laborious manual annotating process.

In conclusion, we present our experimental testing of the CLIP model on digital plant specimen images with varied settings and how the CLIP model can act as a potential filtering tool. In future, we plan to investigate the possibility of using text prompts to do the instance segmentation to extract leaf trait information using Large Language Models (LLMs).
Implementing the CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance in Biodiversity Data Management
Authors: Taitingfong Riley , Carroll Stephanie
Published: September 2023

Indigenous data governance is a critical aspect of upholding Indigenous rights and fostering equitable partnerships in biodiversity research and data management. An estimated 80% of the planet’s biodiversity exists on Indigenous lands (Sobrevila 2008), and the majority of Indigenous data derived from specimens taken from Indigenous lands are held by non-Indigenous entities and institutions. The CARE Principles (Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, and Ethics) are designed to guide the inclusion of Indigenous peoples in data governance, and increase their access to and benefit from data (Carroll et al. 2020). This talk will share emerging tools and resources that can be leveraged to implement the CARE Principles within repositories and institutions that hold Indigenous data.

This talk highlights two primary tools to promote Indigenous data governance in repositories:

a phased framework to guide third-party holders of Indigenous data through foundational learning and concrete steps to apply the CARE principles in their respective settings, and

the CARE criteria, an assessment tool by which researchers and institutions can evaluate the maturity of CARE implementation, identify areas for improvement, and allow other entities such as funders and publishers to evaluate CARE compliance.

The features of logistics network structures and prospects for their transformation in the BRICS countries
Authors: Mokhammad Arshad
Published: September 2023

The ongoing global transformation processes have led to changes in logistics systems that are now being restructured at a new technological level. The formation of new inter-country groupings and the leap in the volume and quality of infrastructure have a key impact on logistics parameters; the increases in risk and uncertainty make it necessary to diversify supply capabilities and create reserve capacities in order to balance unforeseen situations. The paper first examines the formation of new logistics networks and diversification of existing ones using the evidence both from the BRICS countries, primarily Russia, India and China, and from candidates for accession to this organization; then, it analyses the prospects of their integration in the new geopolitical and technological environment. The study is based on the systematic approach, using comparative analysis and statistical methods; it aims to assess the prospects for cooperation between Eurasian members of BRICS in the field of logistics systems and to identify the national specifics of their financing, design and formation. The paper systematizes information on industry, maritime, air and land transport, paying special attention to the shipping of hydrocarbons and developing of latitudinal and meridional corridors on a new technological basis. It also gives an overview of the benefits gained from complex integrated initiatives and transformation of the logistics industry as a whole.
Assessing the FAIR Digital Object Framework for Global Biodiversity Research
Authors: Islam Sharif , Beach James , Ellwood Elizabeth R. , Fortes Jose , Lannom Larry , Nelson Gil , Plale Beth
Published: September 2023

In the first decades of the 21st century, there has been a global trend towards digitisation and the mobilisation of data from natural history museums and research institutions. The development of national and international aggregator systems, which focused on data standards, made it possible to access millions of museum specimen records. These records serve as an empirical foundation for research across various fields. In addition, community efforts have expanded the concept of natural history collection specimens to include physical preparations and digital resources, resulting in the Digital Extended Specimen (DES), which also includes derived and related data. Within this context, the paper proposes using the FAIR Digital Object (FDO) framework to accelerate the global vision of the DES, arguing that FDO-enabled infrastructures can reduce barriers to the discovery and access of specimens, help ensure credit back to contributors and increase the amount of research that incorporates biodiversity data.
The genus Pseudophanias Raffray (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Pselaphinae) from Nanling Priority Area for Biodiversity Conservation, China
Authors: Zhang Yong-Qin , Yin Zi-Wei
Published: September 2023

Prior to this study, no species of Pseudophanias Raffray had been reported from Nanling, a vast biodiversity conservation area that spans five provinces in southern China. In this paper, three new species of the genus are described: Pseudophanias furcilobussp. nov. (Guizhou, Guangxi), P. leigongsp. nov. (Guizhou), and P. mulunsp. nov. (Guangxi), suggesting that additional study on the diversity of this group in the area is required. These species are characterized, keyed, and compared to similar congeners, supplemented with illustrations of the habitus and other morphological characters.
Complexe fraternel et relations entre pairs
Authors: Dirkx Liliane
Published: September 2023

En psychanalyse, le complexe fraternel n’a été reconnu que tardivement comme un véritable organisateur de la vie psychique, au même titre que le complexe d’Œdipe. Il met en évidence le travail psychique nécessaire à l’élaboration des difficultés qui surgissent dans les relations entre frères et sœurs, réels ou imaginaires, au sein du triangle « ma fratrie, mes parents et moi ». Le complexe fraternel prend une forme qui dépend du niveau auquel le sujet a accès à l’objet et de la manière dont il s’entrecroise avec son complexe d’Œdipe. On peut penser que l’issue du complexe fraternel détermine les relations que le sujet est capable d’établir avec ses pairs.
Groupe thérapeutique d’enfants : un chœur d’anges ou de démons ?
Authors: Vander Vorst Cécile
Published: September 2023

L’article met en évidence la complexité du lien aux pairs à partir de l’expérience de groupes thérapeutiques pour enfants. La relation à l’autre éveille les passions telles que l’amour et la haine. Elle favorise également l’agressivité et offre la possibilité de l’amitié. La présence de l’autre permet l’identification. Les groupes, les collectivités peuvent mener à l’élection d’un bouc émissaire. Les groupes thérapeutiques permettent d’expérimenter ces différents enjeux au sein d’un cadre balisé qui limite la destructivité réelle d’autrui.

Braine-l’Alleud, commune amie des aînés : une action collective fondée sur le Développement du Pouvoir d’Agir
Authors: Leleu Myriam , Gabriel Aurélie
Published: September 2023

Cet article reprend l’histoire d’une action collective menée à Braine-l’Alleud, une commune de la Région wallonne en Belgique à partir d’une impulsion externe, le programme de recherche-action participative Wallonie Amie des Aînés (WADA). Les étapes de développement de ce programme se sont déroulées de 2017 à 2019, avec un point d’attention au passage d’un collectif à une collectivité et l’affirmation d’une identité commune, celle de personnes qui se sont rassemblées et organisées pour soutenir un vieillissement actif et en santé sur leur territoire. La mise en mouvement du groupe, sa cohésion, sa pérennisation ont été rendues possibles grâce à la volonté de personnes concernées, d’intervenants professionnels et des autorités locales. Tous ont mis leurs expertises et leurs expériences au service de l’amélioration des conditions du vieillissement, avec en filigrane l’approche centrée sur le Développement du Pouvoir d’Agir des Personnes et des Collectivités (DPA-PC).
« Que devenir ? » : un nouvel ordre des passions de jeunesse dans le récit du xix e siècle
Authors: Tavernier Grégoire
Published: September 2023

Cet article se propose de faire l’état des lieux des passions du jeune homme que le récit, en particulier de mœurs, dresse au xix e  siècle. Apparaissent en effet, dès la fin de la Restauration, et bientôt en lien étroit avec la démocratie libérale en essor, une perturbation des âges de la vie et des passions correspondantes. À un ordre traditionnel, idéaliste et injonctif, des passions du jeune homme, sentimentales et dévouées notamment, révélant à l’état brut une jeunesse naturelle , est substitué un ordre moderne des passions « factices », où se manifestent les préoccupations sérieuses de la vanité. Cette substitution se présente dans les termes d’une précocification  et d’une dégradation : le jeune homme, adoptant prématurément les passions tristes de l’âge viril, s’y transforme en « jeune vieux ». L’examen de la distribution dans le roman de mœurs et dans le personnage de passions préférentielles, permettra de s’en persuader.
Être étudiant dans les révolutions européennes de 1848-1849
Authors: Dubois Antonin
Published: September 2023

Les étudiants ont été des acteurs à part entière des révolutions européennes de 1848-1849. Cet article formule l’hypothèse que l’ouverture des possibles en 1848 permet de saisir ce que signifie être étudiant dans l’Europe du milieu du xix e  siècle. En se concentrant sur ceux qui se sont mobilisés en faveur des révolutions, il propose à la fois un tour d’horizon de leurs activités, idées et divisions, et des pistes pour de futures recherches. Après avoir exposé les multiples sens, encore flottants, du terme « étudiant » dans différents pays, il s’attache à montrer l’importance de la structuration du champ universitaire dans les possibilités et formes d’engagement politique en 1848. Il souligne enfin la centralité de l’idéal et de l’objectif de l’État-nation chez les étudiants révolutionnaires qui, peut-être, a conduit à limiter leurs échanges et circulations dans l’espace européen.
Le regard masculin, ou male gaze : le roman réaliste français du xix e siècle à l’épreuve d’un outil d’analyse féministe
Authors: Marpeau Anne-Claire
Published: September 2023

Cet article se penche sur les manifestations narratives et poétiques du male gaze , ou regard masculin, dans des romans canoniques du xix e  siècle. Ce regard masculin construit une image de « la femme », réifiée et sexualisée, qui participe à l’association du désir masculin et de la violence dans les fictions étudiées. Il s’agit alors d’interroger les paradoxes d’une littérature réaliste qui, tout en représentant des personnages féminins placés sous la tutelle d’un regard patriarcal, laisse pourtant une place à l’expérience féminine et produit ainsi, par les techniques narratives qu’elle développe, des effets contradictoires.

On the regularization and matrix Lyapunov functions for fuzzy differential systems with uncertain parameters
Authors: Martynyuk Anatoliy , Stamov Gani , Stamova Ivanka , Martynyuk–Chernienko Yulya
Published: September 2023

In this paper, for a regularized fuzzy system, a generalization of the direct Lyapunov method is adapted on the base of matrix-valued Lyapunov-like functions. First, the new concept of a regularization scheme for fuzzy systems is discussed and the matrix-valued Lyapunov function technique is introduced. Then, sufficient conditions are established for the boundedness and stability of the equilibrium set of solutions of the regularized fuzzy system of differential equations. Scalar and vector Lyapunov-type functions are used based on an auxiliary matrix-valued function. Finally, a discussion is offered for the future directions of the proposed approach. Since the strategies for the analysis of the stability of fuzzy models are very important in numerous aspects, we expect that our results will inspire researchers to develop the introduced concept.
Metric geometric means with arbitrary weights of positive definite matrices involving semi-tensor products
Authors: Ploymukda Arnon , Chansangiam Pattrawut
Published: September 2023

We extend the notion of classical metric geometric mean (MGM) for positive definite matrices of the same dimension to those of arbitrary dimensions, so that usual matrix products are replaced by semi-tensor products. When the weights are arbitrary real numbers, the weighted MGMs possess not only nice properties as in the classical case, but also affine change of parameters, exponential law, and cancellability. Moreover, when the weights belong to the unit interval, the weighted MGM has remarkable properties, namely, monotonicity and continuity from above. Then we apply a continuity argument to extend the weighted MGM to positive semidefinite matrices, here the weights belong to the unit interval. It turns out that this matrix mean posses rich algebraic, order, and analytic properties, such as, monotonicity, continuity from above, congruent invariance, permutation invariance, affine change of parameters, and exponential law. Furthermore, we investigate certain equations concerning weighted MGMs of positive definite matrices. It turns out that such equations are always uniquely solvable with explicit solutions. The notion of MGMs can be applied to solve certain symmetric word equations in two letters.
La règle du trentième indivisible non conforme à la Charte sociale européenne
Authors: Boussarie Thomas
Published: September 2023

En confrontant la règle du trentième indivisible à la Charte sociale européenne, le Comité européen des droits sociaux prend part à un débat aussi ancien que passionnel relatif à l’exercice du droit de grève. Il se positionne – sans surprise – contre les retenues sur traitement effectuées par l’administration française qui prélève l’équivalent d’une journée de travail pour toute grève inférieure à journée. Cette décision de non-conformité permet de revenir sur une règle dont l’histoire et la pratique demeurent assez méconnues malgré les nombreuses controverses qui jalonnent son existence. Au-delà des postures antagonistes, remplacer la règle du trentième indivisible par un dispositif prorata temporis pourrait être autant défavorable aux agents grévistes qu’à l’administration…
Exploring Models, Training Methods, and Quantum Supremacy in Machine Learning and Quantum Computing
Authors: Muthusamy Arvindhan
Published: September 2023

In this chapter, the authors will discuss some of the many models and training methods that have been developed in the field of machine learning to address this learning challenge. Models like neural networks and stochastic gradient descent have their own “go-to” training algorithms, each with their own set of supporting terminology and communities of experts. Since the specifics of gate decomposition, compilation, and error correction all depend heavily on the physical implementation of qubits and quantum gates, it has been difficult to design quantum hardware capable of running such algorithms. Therefore, the authors can only provide asymptotic estimations of total execution times. Since developing quantum hardware is so prohibitively expensive, researchers are incentivized to use terms like “superior quantum algorithms” to justify their work. This has given rise to the contentious term “quantum supremacy” to describe experiments that definitively show a difference between classical and quantum levels of computational complexity.
Quantum Engineering
Authors: Hunagund Shivakumar
Published: September 2023

Quantum dots are semiconductor nanostructures that exhibit unique electronic and optical properties. These structures are formed through lithographic patterning of quantum wells or spontaneous growth techniques, and can be considered as 3D quantum wells with no degrees of freedom and quantized levels for all three directions of motion. Due to their small size, quantum dots have dimensions that are similar to the Bohr exciton radius, and they confine electrons in all three spatial directions to produce discrete energy levels that are similar to those found in atoms. One of the key features of quantum dots is that their electronic and optical properties can be tailored by altering parameters such as size and shape. In this chapter, the authors will use the Schrödinger equation to solve for the energy levels of different types of quantum dots, including infinite (1D and 2D) and finite potential wells. They will also use Matlab programs to solve for a realistic model of a quantum dot, investigating the effects of changing parameters such as potential and well widths.
A Systematic Review of the Literature on Financial Applications of Predictive Analytics
Authors: Nanda Sudhansu Sekhar
Published: September 2023

To assist the management and support the strategic decisions, statistical and computational methodologies are being progressively incorporated into decision support systems. To accurately anticipate the financial data, researchers must properly comprehend its utilization. Therefore, a method-based literature evaluation with an emphasis on the predictive analytics field is proposed in this chapter. Regression, clustering, association, and time series models are thoroughly covered in this research. It extends current statistical explanatory modelling into the field of computational modelling. These model results help financial managers and risk management experts get better results. The numerous financial predictive analytic techniques are brought together in this review under one area. This is regarded as a solid foundation since it shows that when more than 40 papers have been identified as eligible, systematic reviews can be employed at the domain level. This search was conducted by the SPAR-4-SLR (scientific procedures and rationales for systematic literature reviews) protocol.

One off the most powerful assembly technique is the shrink-fitting process.It is found in many fields such us mechanics, petroleum, military industries as well as in nuclear power plants etc. This article developed an analytical formulation of shrink-fitted Functionally Graded Material axisymmetric thick-walled cylinder based on the linear plane elasticity theory. The stresses and displacement fields in the thick cylindrical shells are calculated using the laws of linear elasticity. The resulting displacements and stresses are analyzed, and particularly the residual contact pressure and her relationship with the interference values. The results show that the variation of the FGM material composition has a clear effect on the fit pressure in the intersection area of the two fitted cylinders. The value of this pressure affects the distribution of radial and tangential stresses in the FGM cylinder walls. Subsequently, we highlighted the influence of the interference value, on the residual contact pressure which increases with the increase of the interference value. The stresses are modeled for a case study using MATLAB software. keywords. shrink-fit, FGM, Interference, residual stress, Elasticity.

Human health would be at risk if water which is essential for every human activity is contaminated with carcinogenic substances including heavy metals, this present study evaluated potentially toxic metal concentration in some selected rivers in Ijebu-North of Nigeria to determine the concentration of heavy metals and evaluate the pollution index. Ten (10) rivers were randomly selected for the purpose of this study. Samples were collected using a labelled acid pre-cleaned polyethylene container so as avoid wall absorption, the samples were collected from different points at different locations along the course of the river. The samples were filtered, acidified with HNO3 and analysed for heavy metals using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS). Concentrations of Pb, Ni, Cr and Cu in all the rivers were higher than the WHO limit. However Hg, Cd, Ag, Al, and Mn values are below the recommended values. The contamination factor (C_f) for the Pb varied from 2.18-4.04, Ni varied from 3.0-14.0, Hg was between 0.00-0.03333, Cd was between 0.16667-0.6667, Cr varied between 8.00-48.40, Cu varied between 4.00-12.00, Ag varied between 0.01-0.02, Se varied from 0.05-1.25, Al varied between 0.12-0.46 and Mn varied from 0.020-0.028, Cu values fall within the range of very severe pollution. The results from this study revealed that some rivers within the study area were polluted and recommended for treatment before they can be used domestically and for other purposes.
Fertility Cult in Pre-Buddhist Sri Lanka

The Mahāvaṃsa contains a significant description of the faiths and beliefs of Pre-Buddhist Sri Lanka. The belief of Yakśa and Yakśani has been a major among these faiths. The Yakśa and Yakśani beliefs of Sri Lanka are often similar to the Hindu beliefs of ancient India. The purpose of having these kinds of rituals is to generate wealth. In Hinduism, Śiva and Pāravtī appear under other aliases in the chronicles of Sri Lanka. The goddess Pārvatī appears as Valavamukhī, and it is clear from the chronicles that Śivika Śāla was associated with Śiva Linga. Hence, worship of Śiva was established in Sri Lanka. The remanence of Yakśa belief in Pre-Buddhist Sri Lanka was present after the arrival of Buddhism, and it is clear that the carvings of Yakśas and Yakśanis are found in several places in Sri Lanka. The Yakśa images in Abhayagirya, Yakśani images of Kubera in Dhakkina thūpa in Anurādhapura, and Kaṇṭaka chaitya in Mihintalē could be considered worthy examples.

With the outbreak of COVID-19 in the latter half of 2019 many fields got affected severely and museums faced a noticeable downfall among them. Especially social distancing imposed by the government, museums worldwide resulted in a clear reduction in museum visitors. Since a museum is a bridge that connects the knowledge and discoveries of past human culture and the public while interacting with the community, this situation forced the museums to look for alternatives to go up against the challenge. Hence, this research attempts to identify the innovations proposed and applied by the museums during the pandemic period redefining their traditional role in various approaches. In this study, the problem statement ‘How are the museums able to face the challenges encountered during COVID-19?’ is selected and the research objective is to mainly identify various measures taken by museums around the world during the particular time. To compile this research museum websites, research papers, articles, and case studies were studied to find out the methods used by the museums for their exhibitions and other basic functions during the pandemic occurrence. During the study, it was able to discover different efforts taken by the museums, especially with the upgrading of digital usage and technological advancements including promoting virtual museums, digitalizing museum collections, organizing webinars, and increasing the use of various smartphone activities and engagements through social media while focusing on recreating the visitor experience beyond physical space. They have resulted in yielding promising benefits not only during the pandemic but also following the crisis in enhancing the visitor experience, exhibition methods, and management. Consequently, from this study, it was able to be identified that the museums have taken pivotal measures to adapt to the new normal condition in society in the context of COVID, -19 acting as a steppingstone in introducing a new paradigm and an essential change in the relationship between museums and its visitors.
Calcification in Peyronie's disease: Its role and clinical influence on the various symptoms and signs of the disease, including psychological impact. Our study of 551 patients
Authors: Paulis Gianni , Paulis Andrea

Background: The aim of study was to evaluate the impact of plaque calcification on symptoms of patients with Peyronie’s disease (PD) and to evaluate mental health in PD patients with or without calcification. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of the clinical database of a single andrology clinic. We extracted 551 PD patients, and we sorted them into two groups: the first group included 201 PD patients with plaque calcification; the second group included 350 PD patients without plaque calcification. The inclusion criteria for both groups were as follows: aged between 21 and 81 years; thorough and available data on clinical history; baseline levels of blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, cholesterol, and triglycerides; photographic documentation of the penile curvature; dynamic penile eco-color Doppler ultrasound with plaque measurements and volume calculation; and completion of the generalized anxiety disorder—7 questionnaire, patient health questionnaire—9 (for depression), visual analog scale for penile pain measurements, and the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire. Results: Plaque calcification was present in 36.4% of cases. The presence of calcification affects the presence and severity of penile curvature. Calcification is associated with the presence of hypertension. In PD patients, the prevalence of significant anxiety and significant depression was 89.1% and 57.3%, respectively. Calcification is associated with the presence of anxiety and depression but does not lead to an increase in their prevalence. Conclusions: In PD patients, the calcification was present in more than one third of cases. The size of the plaque calcification was < 15 mm in most cases. Calcification influences the presence of the curve and influences its severity. There was a prominent prevalence of anxiety and depression in PD patients.

Introduction: Erythema Nodosum Leprosum (ENL) is an immunological complication of leprosy characterized by acute inflammation of the skin, nerves, and other organs. Identifying laboratory parameters are important to early diagnosis of leprosy reactions. Various cytokine biomarkers have been examined and only a few studies have reported on angiogenesis in leprosy. This study aims to understanding the pathomechanism of ENL by examined IL-7 and PDGF-BB mRNA expression that can be the development and consideration of new effective therapies to prevent reactions, recurrences, and defects in leprosy. Materials and Methods: The study used a cross-sectional analytic design. Sampling was done by peripheral blood from the patient and measuring mRNA expression with specific primers RT-PCR. Results: The expression of mRNA IL-7 and PDGF-BB was significantly different between multibasilar patients without reaction and with ENL reaction, where there was increased expression in ENL patients. This could be used as the development of potential biomarkers in ENL and development of new therapeutic intervention pathways in ENL.
