Published: February 2024

Morinda citrifolia (L.), also known as Noni or Ahu in Sri Lanka, is infrequently consumed as a dietary supplement within the country due to its association with myths and perceived toxicity. Nonetheless, in Sri Lanka, limited scientific research has been undertaken in the past to explore the therapeutic potential of noni, with public awareness primarily focused on its exportdriven cultivation. The study focused on evaluating the proximate composition, bioactive constituents, and therapeutic potential of hydro-methanolic extracts from pasteurized noni fruit juice, employing an 80% methanol extraction method, filtration, and assessment through standard assays to elucidate its potentia health benefits. The juice showed noteworthy antioxidant potential through DPPH scavenging activity (57.90 ± 0.40 μg/mL) and ABTS scavenging activity (42.95 ± 1.33 μg/mL), as well as high nitric oxide inhibition activity (164.56 ± 3.22 μg/mL), suggesting its anti-inflammatory properties. The juice also displayed potential as an anti-diabetic agent by inhibiting alpha-amylase (27.68 ± 0.36 μg/mL) and alpha-glucosidase (25.67 ± 1.03 μg/mL). Furthermore, it exhibited potential in protecting against certain pathological processes through heat-induced hemolysis inhibition (36.08 ± 1.08 μg/mL), protein denaturation inhibition (56.14 ± 1.11 μg/mL), and proteinase inhibitory activity (38.04 ± 0.56 μg/mL). These findings support the potential use of pasteurized fruit juice as a functional food ingredient, offering benefits to both the food industry and consumers. Further research can be directed towards the development of Noni fruit-incorporated food products that possess desirable sensory attributes to mitigate any potential aversion associated with its taste and odor profiles.
Persistent B Cell–Derived MHC Class II Signaling Is Required for the Optimal Maintenance of Tissue-Resident Helper T Cells
Authors: Son Young Min , Cheon In Su , Li Chaofan , Sun Jie
Published: February 2024

Emerging studies have identified the critical roles of tissue-resident memory CD8+ T (TRM) and B (BRM) cells in the protection against mucosal viral infections, but the underlying mechanisms regulating robust development of TRM and BRM cells remain incompletely understood. We have recently shown that tissue-resident helper CD4+ T (TRH) cells, developed following influenza virus infection, function to sustain the optimal maintenance of TRM and BRM cells at the mucosal surface. In this study, we have explored the cellular and molecular cues modulating lung TRH persistence after influenza infection in C57BL/6 mice. We found that TRH cells were colocalized in tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) with local B cells. Abolishing TLSs or the depletion of B cells impaired lung TRH cell numbers. Of note, we found that persistent TCR signaling is needed for the maintenance of TRH cells after the clearance of infectious influenza virus. Furthermore, selective ablation of B cell–derived MHC class II resulted in partial reduction of lung TRH cell number after influenza infection. Our findings suggest that the interaction between lung-resident TRH cells and B cells, along with persistent Ag stimulation, is required to maintain TRH cells after respiratory viral infection.

Published: February 2024

Macrophages play a crucial role in eliminating respiratory pathogens. Both pulmonary resident alveolar macrophages (AMs) and recruited macrophages contribute to detecting, responding to, and resolving infections in the lungs. Despite their distinct functions, it remains unclear how these macrophage subsets regulate their responses to infection, including how activation by the cytokine IFN-γ is regulated. This shortcoming prevents the development of therapeutics that effectively target distinct lung macrophage populations without exacerbating inflammation. We aimed to better understand the transcriptional regulation of resting and IFN-γ–activated cells using a new ex vivo model of AMs from mice, fetal liver–derived alveolar-like macrophages (FLAMs), and immortalized bone marrow-derived macrophages. Our findings reveal that IFN-γ robustly activates both macrophage types; however, the profile of activated IFN-γ–stimulated genes varies greatly between these cell types. Notably, FLAMs show limited expression of costimulatory markers essential for T cell activation upon stimulation with only IFN-γ. To understand cell type–specific differences, we examined how the inhibition of the regulatory kinases GSK3α/β alters the IFN-γ response. GSK3α/β controlled distinct IFN-γ responses, and in AM-like cells, we found that GSK3α/β restrained the induction of type I IFN and TNF, thus preventing the robust expression of costimulatory molecules and limiting CD4+ T cell activation. Together, these data suggest that the capacity of AMs to respond to IFN-γ is restricted in a GSK3α/β-dependent manner and that IFN-γ responses differ across distinct macrophage populations. These findings lay the groundwork to identify new therapeutic targets that activate protective pulmonary responses without driving deleterious inflammation.

Genetic defects in the ability to deliver effective perforin have been reported in patients with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. We tested the hypothesis that a primary perforin deficiency might also be causal in severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. We recruited 54 volunteers confirmed as being SARS-CoV-2–infected by RT-PCR and admitted to intensive care units or non–intensive care units and age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Compared with healthy controls, the percentage of perforin-expressing CD3−CD56+ NK cells quantified by flow cytometry was low in COVID-19 patients (69.9 ± 17.7 versus 78.6 ± 14.6%, p = 0.026). There was no correlation between the proportions of perforin-positive NK cells and T8 lymphocytes. Moreover, the frequency of NK cells producing perforin was neither linked to disease severity nor predictive of death. Although IL-6 is known to downregulate perforin production in NK cells, we did not find any link between perforin expression and IL-6 plasma level. However, we unveiled a negative correlation between the degranulation marker CD107a and perforin expression in NK cells (r = −0.488, p = 10−4). PRF1 gene expression and the frequency of NK cells harboring perforin were normal in patients 1 y after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. A primary perforin defect does not seem to be a driver of COVID-19 because NK perforin expression is 1) linked neither to T8 perforin expression nor to disease severity, 2) inversely correlated with NK degranulation, and 3) normalized at distance from acute infection. Thus, the cause of low frequency of perforin-positive NK cells appears, rather, to be consumption.

Our main objective was to examine the curative effect of all inside technique and traditional technique in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. In our retrospective study at the First People's Hospital of Jiashan County, we analyzed 88 participants with ACL injuries (50 males, 38 females, average age 27 years). They were randomly divided into two groups: traditional ACL reconstruction (42 participants) and all inside ACL reconstruction (46 participants). We measured and recorded the Visual Analog Scores (VAS), International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), Lysholm scores, operation time, graft diameter and length between the traditional technique group and all inside technique group. There were statistically significant differences in the Lysholm scores and IKDC scores between traditional and all inside technique groups. The all inside technique showed a higher efficacy and effective post-operative recovery with minimal pain and recurrent injuries. Our findings showed that the differences in gender, age, side of injury and operation time were not significant (p> 0.05). Follow-up was conducted at 6 months and 12 months post operations (mean, 7.5 ± 1.1 months). All inside technique minimizing tissue disruption, optimizing graft placement and facilitating early recovery have a significant impact on patient outcomes.

We aimed to investigate sleep disorders in patients with systemic scleroderma (SSc) and its relationship with socio-demographic and medical factors and to provide a suitable solution to better control the disease and improve the quality of life in these patients. This cross-sectional study evaluated SSc patients seen at a rheumatology clinic from September 1, 2022, through April 1, 2023.The patients were examined by the main investigator of the project and entered the study after taking the medical history and meeting the criteria of ACR 2013 Classification Criteria. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and STOP-Bang Questionnaire were employed to investigate sleep disorders. A total of 103 patients were included in the study. The average age of the patients was 48.42 ± 12.4 years. PSQI showed lower quality of sleep scores among SSc (68% of patients), which was significantly related to the degree of skin stiffness in patients, telangiectasia, interstitial lung disease (ILD) in computed tomography (CT) scan, patient age, duration of the disease, and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP). STOP-Bang Questionnaire revealed that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was significantly associated with telangiectasia, ILD, patient age, disease onset age, disease duration, body mass index and PAP. Insomnia had a statistically significant relationship with telangiectasia, ILD and patient age. Drowsiness during daily activities was not significantly related to any of the individual variables and disease-related variables. Sleep disorders are common in patients with systemic scleroderma. Telangiectasia, ILD and patient age were related to all sleep quality disorders and respiratory apnea and insomnia. Furthermore, the amount of skin involvement significantly causes disturbances in the quality of sleep of patients, where in the group with diffuse skin stiffness, 80% of patients exhibited disturbances in the quality of sleep. Therefore, paying attention to sleep health can be an effective factor in improving the quality of life of patients with SSc.
Some fascinating developments in mathematics and music
Authors: Amiot Emmanuel
Published: February 2024

The strength of the bonds between music and mathematics goes without saying. This popular belief hides a subtler misconception, that this relationship involves old-school mathematics: arithmetics in the Greek School (Pythagoras), diophantine approximations in tuning theory (Euler, Rameau), Fourier series for the decomposition of sound signal, and little else. However, there is much more than that and these two sciences still advance hand in hand as of today. This paper will present by way of example three musical situations involving contemporary mathematical topics: Galois theory in a rhythmic canon problem in the field of minimalist music; a graph theory question raised by Ludwig van Beethoven which had to wait almost two centuries for an answer; and a neat word theory theorem discovered in a construction originating in combinations of mystical octaves and fifths in Plato’s Timaeus.
Review of Gabriele Münnix: Das Bild vom Bild: Bildsemiotik und Bildphänomenologie in interkultureller Perspektive
Authors: Pozzo Riccardo
Published: February 2024

Images shape how we perceive reality, how we think and feel, and how we live together. Gabriele Münnix shows that cultural traditions play an essential role in these processes. Her book is about providing an overview of the different ways of dealing with images. She presents authoritative approaches to the philosophy of images such as those of C.S. Peirce, Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Nelson Goodman, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Umberto Eco, and of others. What is new in her analysis is the inclusion of the intercultural perspective, which makes a new approach to the controversies about the nature of the image as signs or as presence possible that can also be effective in establishing a relation between philosophy of religion an undogmatic metaphysics.
Poetics of hypertimbralism in music
Authors: Teodorescu-Ciocanea Livia
Published: February 2024

My presentation is an attempt to introduce and clarify an original concept which I called Hypertimbralism, that refers to music based on Hypertimbre as the foundation for musical composition. It points to either orchestral, chamber or solo instruments music which relies on unusual timbre involving polyspectral energy. In contemporary music, two factors led to the arousal of Timbre-based aesthetics: sound mass (very dense textures) and extended instrumental techniques. Hypertimbralism embraces already written music and at the same time opens imagination for new insights in this matter. A poetics of hypertimbralism would provide a musicological background for composition based on an enhanced vocabulary of timbre and on a higher understanding of timbre perception.

Published: February 2024

Load-carrying transportation has recently increased due to cargo and online home
shopping. As a result, there is a growing demand for vehicles that can pass
through narrow streets and carry loads for short distances. Electric vehicles
are vital in the automotive industry due to their zero emissions and further
promotion through new regulations. This study is focused on determining the
spring coefficients of helical springs for a micro-truck vehicle, which will be
used for cargo transportation and has a leaf spring with a specific spring
coefficient on the rear axle and an independent double wishbone suspension
system on the front axle. In addition to being vehicles with low weight values,
micro-trucks have the axle capacity required for urban transportation due to
their low track width and dimensions. Correctly determining the leaf spring is
essential as it will directly affect the loads on the suspension system, wheel
life, energy consumption, and comfort level. When determining the spring
coefficient, it is essential to decide on the bounce, pitch, and ride frequency
values and evaluate the vehicle’s bump passing and comfort. In this context,
along with theoretical calculations, quarter-vehicle, half-vehicle, and
full-vehicle models were established, and the characteristics of the front
suspension and the whole vehicle were determined.

The power system has existed for more than a hundred years and is constantly evolving, making it one of the largest man-made systems. Any change and upgrade of the system must be justified, both from a technical and economic point of view. For this reason, it is necessary to examine these factors before and after the change is made. One of the most common changes in the power system is the expansion or withdrawal ("retirement") of generation capacity. New wind and solar power plants are being built at an increasing rate, while conventional power plants are shutting down to be replaced. When planning and exploiting new conditions caused by these changes, one of the first problems that arises is the problem of optimal unit commitment (Unit Commitment Problem). Optimal unit commitment is the coordination of production of each unit with the primary goal of meeting the demand for electricity, and then reducing system costs or increasing profits. Optimization problems are mathematically and time-consuming and in practice impossible to solve without the use of computers. In this paper, the theoretical foundations of optimal unit engagement, modeling of system elements of interest (primarily from the production side) and optimization methods used for this calculation will be described, and then their application will be checked in the example of power system, made in PLEXOS- u

Serbia is characterized by a high degree of biodiversity due to its ecologically favorable location. According to previous research, 74% of the avifauna of Europe is located on the territory of our country, with 42 areas important for birds (IBA - Important Bird Area). One of the products of rapid development of the modern world and the growing need for electricity are omnipresent transmission lines. Overhead high voltage lines, as linear infrastructure elements for the transmission of electricity, according to research, have been identified as one of the causes of bird mortality induced by humans. The need to protect wildlife has become more important than ever due to the current climate and environmental crisis. The strategy of preserving the increasingly disappearing bird fund requires primarly the identification and protection of the most important bird habitats, which requires the cooperation of experts from several different scientific fields. This paper represents technical and technological methods for reducing the negative impact of overhead high voltage lines on natural habitats and migration routes of birds, in other words, it represents methods for reducing bird mortality caused by collision with conductors and ground wires, both in Serbian transmission system and in the world. Furthermore, models for monitoring and analyzing the impact of overhead high voltage lines on birds, whose application in the future is also considered in our transmission system, are also presented.

The paper demonstrates the procedure of risk assessment of electrical equipment insulation failure due to atmospheric lightning using various software tools. When applying any method for determining the risk of insulation failure, it is necessary to repeat a number of simulations of the transient process due to atmospheric lightnings in order to see the statistical influence of random lightning parameters on the numerical value of failure risk. The hazardous parameter curve method is one way to determine the risk of insulation failure. It represents the dependence of the critical shock current of lightning on the slope of the shock wave. The application of the method of the curve of dangerous parameters was performed in two ways. The first method is through the software tool ATP / EMTP, where the modification of the parameters of atmospheric lightning and processing of the results was performed in the tool MATLAB. The second way involves forming the same scheme in the SIMULINK tool, a subroutine of the MATLAB tool. After the analysis, a critical review of these two approaches will be discussed. As the results can be read from the MATLAB tool, a direct comparison of the two methods will be performed. A 110 kV switchyard with two transmission line fields was used to demonstrate the application of software tools. The process of modeling all elements important for analysis is described in detail. Within the simulations, the amplitude and slope of the front of the lightning current waves were varied. The paper presents a comparison of two software tools and an automated calculation of different insulation failure risk analyzes.

Adding new power power plants and generating units into a certain power system may lead to a significant increase in the system short circuit levels. One of the possible solutions for preventing outlimiting pre-defined short circuit values is implementation of a series reactor (SR) into the system. The need to decrease the short circuit level while maintaining voltage drops and overall system losses in allowed limits is the main factor in choosing the right dimension of this SR. As a result of implementation of the adequate SR into the system, it becomes possible to keep the existing breakers instead of replacing them with circuit breaker with higher levels of breaking current. Replacement of the existing equipment (circuit breaker and auxiliary equipment) is required in case of omitting the use of SR. However, implementing SR in the system may also have negative impact on the elements of the power system. It can lead to the increase in the levels of temporary and switching overvoltages and/or increase of the amplitude of transient recovery voltage and rate of rise of recovery voltage on the existing circuit breakers and in some cases may even lead to violation of the limits required by international standards/grid code. Main objective of this paperwork is analysing the effects which might occur after the implementation of a series reactor in the existing 400kV power system. Model is formed so that it includes detailed models of the elements in the system at least two buses away from the observed point of coupling. Simulations are performed using PSCAD/EMTDC, a state-of-art software analysis tool for this kind of studies. Results of the simulations show the impact of the series reactor on the transient recovery voltage of the nearest 400kV circuit breaker, comparisson of overvoltages values which are the result of the switching operations with withstand limits provided by IEC Standard and suggestion of mitigation measures, if needed.

This study aims to find out how the position of tax law according to the view of Islamic law. This is very important to do because 82% of the source of state revenue of the Republic of Indonesia comes from taxes. In conditions of such high dependence on taxes, in the midst of society there are still pros and cons about the existence of tax law. This research is focused on seeing how the practice of collecting Income Tax (PPh), Value Added Tax (VAT) and Land and Building Tax (PBB) as the three largest sources of state revenue in Indonesia, then comparing it with the practice of collecting state revenue during the reign of the Prophet SAW, analyzing the causes of the emergence of taxes in Islamic governments, formulating tax criteria according to sharia and implementing taxes according to shari'a in collection PPh, VAT, and UN in Indonesia. This study uses a conventional research model that uses a qualitative approach and data collection methods based on documents and literature. The results showed that taxes have existed since the reign of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the form of Jizya, Kharaj, 'Usyr, in addition to the main sources of income of Ghanimah, Fa'i and Zakat. Of the 6 types of income sources above, currently only Zakat can be collected, resulting in the emergence of Ijtihad in the form of Tax (Dharibah) by Ulil Amri to overcome the lack / vacancy of Baitul Mal. Although Ulama allows taxes (Dharibah), but in collecting income tax, VAT and UN in Indonesia it is still not in accordance with Shari'ah, so there are taxes that need to be improved and some types of taxes must be removed.

In Islamic teachings, a human being lives according to religious norms. Real social change really covers all aspects of social life, thereby requiring a very long process to create a civilized social order in accordance with the guidance of the Al-Qur'an. To be able to do this, humans must mingle, or humans must interact which ultimately takes the form of integration. In a theoretical context, sociology places a transformation in the social environment as an event that occurs around society that is universal. The above studies in the current context are often explained using the term multiculturalism. In the Al-Qur'an, Al-Hujurat verse 13 states that the description of the purpose of creating humans by Allah for the same purpose is not necessarily in a narrow sense. M. Quraish Shihab tried to provide a way out, although in the end he still tended towards rational theology. Meanwhile, Hamka gave answers through preaching without any coercion through Al-Azhar interpretations.

Penelitian ini penting dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui tentang  analisis penyelesaian permasalahan hukum terkait tindak pidana pengalihan objek jaminan fidusia kepada pihak ketiga. Undang-Undang Nomor 42 Tahun 1999 tentang Jaminan Fidusia (selanjutnya disingkat UUJF) merupakan produk hukum yang dijadikan ketentuan hukum yang menjamin kepastian hukum serta mampu memberikan perlindungan hukum bagi para pihak yang berkepentingan. Disamping maraknya kasus penyalahgunaan hak yang banyak terjadi dalam masyarakat terutama dalam segi perjanjian jaminan fidusia, seperti kasus pengalihan objek jaminan fidusia yang dilakukan oleh debitor selaku pemberi fidusia tanpa persetujuan kreditor selaku penerima fidusia, hal ini terbukti telah melenceng dari ketentuan pasal 23 ayat (2) UUJF yaitu “Pemberi Fidusia dilarang mengalihkan, menggadaikan, atau menyewakan kapada pihak lain Benda yang menjadi objek Jaminan Fidusia yang tidak merupakan benda persediaan, kecuali dengan persetujuan tertulis terlebih dahulu dari Penerima Fidusia”. Dengan menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif didukung dengan metode normatif empiris Hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa penyelesaian hukum terkait tindak pidana pengalihan objek jaminan fidusia tanpa persetujuan kreditor dapat diselesaikan baik melalui hukum perdata maupun hukum pidana, namun dalam ketentuannya debitor telah melanggar Pasal 23 ayat (2) maka dapat ditempuh jalur hukum sesuai dengan ketentuan pada Pasal 36 UUJF dan Pasal 372 KUHP. Serta perlindungan hukum dalam perjanjian fidusia muncul terhadap perjanjian yang telah didaftarkan dan memiliki akta jaminan fidusia, dan perlindungan hukum terhadap kreditor di dalam UUJF belum diatur secara signifikan terkait apa saja jenis perlindungannya, namun demikian di dalam UUJF telah terdapat pasal-pasal yang menegaskan terkait larangan-larangan yang wajib ditaati oleh debitor sehingga hal ini dapat memberikan jaminan kepada kreditor untuk memperoleh perlindungan hukum.
