Application of Injectable Hydrogels as Delivery Systems in Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: Zhu Rong , Liao Hai-yang , Huang Yi-chen , Shen Hai-li
Published: August 2024

Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, though etiologically distinct, are both inflammatory joint diseases that cause progressive joint injury, chronic pain, and loss of function. Therefore, long-term treatment with a focus on relieving symptoms is needed. At present, the primary treatment for arthritis is drug therapy, both oral and intravenous. Although significant progress has been achieved for these treatment methods in alleviating symptoms, certain prominent drawbacks such as the substantial side effects and limited absorption of medications call for an urgent need for improved drug delivery methods. Injected hydrogels can be used as a delivery system to deliver drugs to the joint cavity in a controlled manner and continuously release them, thereby enhancing drug retention in the joint cavity to improve therapeutic effectiveness, which is attributed to the desirable attributes of the delivery system such as low immunogenicity, good biodegradability and biocompatibility. This review summarizes the types of injectable hydrogels and analyzes their applications as delivery systems in arthritis treatment. We also explored how hydrogels counteract inflammation, bone and cartilage degradation, and oxidative stress, while promoting joint cartilage regeneration in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This review also highlights new approaches to developing injectable hydrogels as delivery systems for OA and RA.

Published: August 2024

The current work aims to screen out the phytochemical screening of extract of ethanol extracted from dried leaves of Leucaena leucocephala. Specifically, the soxhlet extraction process was used, along with phytochemical analysis, separations, and the isolation of biologically active compounds using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), column chromatography and HPTLC, respectively. The isolated biologically active compound was then characterized using a variety of spectral analysis namely Infra-Red (IR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR), 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (13CNMR), and mass spectroscopy. Phytochemicals such as carbohydrates, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids, lipids, fixed oils, and phenols are found in the plant's ethanolic leaf extract. Spectroscopic methods were used to characterize the single isolated compound, and the findings presented that the structure of isolated compound LLQ was quercetin. Nootropic action was demonstrated by the secondary metabolites present in the ethanolic extract.
Synthesis of Polynorbornene Based Molecular Self-Assembly for the Detection of Copper Ions Present in the Environmental Water Samples
Authors: Raj* A. Kanni
Published: August 2024

Metal-assisted molecular self-assembly finds applications in optoelectronics, chemical sensing and catalysis. In this article, fluorescein based polynorbornene is synthesized and its molecular self-assembly is used to detect the presence of copper (II) ions in environmental water samples (pond waters). First of all, the sequential procedures of the synthesis of norbornene and polynorbornene are accomplished using simple organic compounds available in the Indian market. Various intermediate compounds and norbornene are characterized by 1H NMR and 13C NMR techniques. Structure of polynorbornene is proved by 1H NMR spectroscope. Molecular weight of polynorbornene is obtained using Acquity advanced polymer chromatography. Particle size of polymer nano-aggregates is derived by using FESEM microscope. This polynorbornene (PNor-Flu) is used for the selective and sensitive detection of the copper(II) ions with an excellent LOD of 0.27 µM, far below the limit decided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of USA. This is achieved with the help of UV-Vis studies and spectroscopic titrations using OD416/OD350. As far the self-assembly is concerned using microscopic analysis, polynorbornene with a higher number of hydroxyl groups shows rod-like self-assembly. Polynorbornene structure is again transformed to a spherical shape in the presence of the copper(II) ions even in micromolar concentration. From this change, it is believed that the poynorbornene has a high potentiality for sensing the copper(II) ions, which helps it to impart unique morphological properties. From the tests performed on real water samples, polynorbornene has proved its high efficiency of selective and sensitive detective power for detecting copper (II) ions in pond waters.

Increasing diversity and racial emotions on campus
Authors: Dingel Molly J. , Punti Gemma
Published: August 2024

Many institutions seek to recruit and retain students of colour. What affective responses occur in the campus racial climate when the percentage of students of colour on campus increases? In this qualitative study, we analyse interviews with first-year students before and after a significant increase in the percentage of students of colour. We find that as racial diversity on campus increases, White students feel threatened and are less able to ignore race and their whiteness. Furthermore, as racial diversity increases, the belief that students of colour receive unearned benefits on campus emerges. We argue that racial emotions are an important component of a campus climate, and call for institutions to attend to emotions as they seek to support students of colour.
Transitional justice and terrorism: socio-legal reflections on the problem of trials, perpetrator responsibility and accountability
Authors: Sandvik Kristin Bergtora
Published: August 2024

Scholars have only recently begun to link transitional justice frameworks to legal settlements after terror. In the wake of Anders Breivik’s 2011 attacks, Norway has witnessed a series of terror and mass violence events, each followed by extensive legal proceedings. These include the 2019 mosque attack, the 2021 Kongsberg killings, and the 2022 Islamist attack during Oslo Pride week. This article examines these trials as a societal, ongoing process. This research contributes to the field of transitional justice by examining how legal systems grapple with the aftermath of terror in the absence of clear-cut criminal narratives. Focus is given to how we can expand our understanding of the meaning of legal accountability in terror contexts. The central contribution of the article is to problematise the relationship between terror trials as vehicles for perpetrator responsibility, and justice and healing. Starting from the mental health narratives surrounding all the perpetrators, the article suggests that there is a tension between holding terrorists accountable and defining them as patients. To contribute to alternative ways of construing legal accountability, the article puts forward examples of how accountability for terror is being navigated and negotiated in bureaucratic, political, and international legal discourse and practice. The article is part of a special issue honouring the contributions of the late Professor Thomas Mathiesen.
A Vanishing Point: Unity in Orthodoxy and the Ukraine Crisis
Authors: Kizenko Nadieszda
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT: Several systemic problems in Orthodox Christianity were revealed by the Ukrainian crisis (the reaction to Constantinople's granting of autocephaly to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, followed by Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine). They included autocephaly, synodality, and the relationship between Church and state. This article examines these problems in the context of factors that historically contributed to "unity in plurality." It then proposes ways forward, including rethinking the territorial principle, broadening councils to include a wider participation of clergy, laymen, and laywomen, and accepting pluralism as an ascetic endeavor.
Shakespeare's Airchives
Authors: Shirilan Stephanie
Published: August 2024

Abstract: This essay draws from recent atmospheric research (in philosophy, ecology, geography, and performance studies) to posit the air as archive. I outline some of the key principles by which early modern natural philosophy and drama instruct in the perception and interpretation of what I call the performance "airchive." I focus on two examples from Shakespeare's plays: the "remarking" of unmarked "sighs and groans and shrieks that rend the air" in Macbeth ; and the sensate atmosphere of a supposedly "senseless Ilium" that brings air's vulnerability into focus as a precondition for its archival legibility in Hamlet . Comparing the first player's speech with Hamlet's advice that the actors not "saw the air," I consider provocations to register in Pyrrhus's pause a challenge both to the logic of the revenge plot and to the archival mnemonics that admit air into historical memory only through the violent rupture of atmospheric unconsciousness.
Method for the determination of the luminance of two-photon vision stimuli
Authors: Kaczkoś Oliwia , Zielińska Agnieszka , Pniewski Jacek , Wojtkowski Maciej , Komar Katarzyna
Published: August 2024

Two-photon vision is a new and developing field in vision science. The phenomenon is based on visual perception of pulsed infrared lasers (800-1300 nm) due to the isomerization of visual pigments caused by two-photon absorption, with color perception corresponding to a wavelength about one-half of the stimulating wavelength in the near-infrared spectral range. Future applications of this effect, both in medical diagnostics and in virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR), require the ability to determine the luminance of the two-photon stimuli. However, the luminous efficiency function V(λ) outside of the visible range is unknown, requiring a non-standard approach to quantifying the luminance of two-photon stimuli. This study proposes a brightness adjustment method to determine the subjective luminance of two-photon infrared stimuli using photometric units. The repeatability of the proposed method with the background on was approximately equal to 407 td, more than twice as good as with the background off. In this report, we present the relationship between the luminance of two-photon stimuli and a physical quantity proposed for the first time: two-photon retinal illuminance. This relationship enables the prediction of stimulus luminance that could achieve nearly 670 cd/m2 within the safe range of laser power for the eye.

Objective

Lifestyle habits after middle age significantly impact the maintenance of cognitive function in older adults. Nutritional intake is closely related to lifestyle habits; therefore, nutrition is a pivotal factor in the prevention of dementia in the preclinical stages. Matcha green tea powder (matcha), which contains epigallocatechin gallate, theanine, and caffeine, has beneficial effects on cognitive function and mood. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study over 12 months to examine the effect of matcha on cognitive function and sleep quality.

Methods

Ninety-nine participants, including 64 with subjective cognitive decline and 35 with mild cognitive impairment were randomized, with 49 receiving 2 g of matcha and 50 receiving a placebo daily. Participants were stratified based on two factors: age at baseline and APOE genotype. Changes in cognitive function and sleep quality were analyzed using a mixed-effects model.

Results

Matcha consumption led to significant improvements in social acuity score (difference; -1.39, 95% confidence interval; -2.78, 0.002) (P = 0.028) as evaluated by the perception of facial emotions in cognitive function. The primary outcomes, that is, Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study Activity of Daily Living scores, showed no significant changes with matcha intervention. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores indicated a trend toward improvement with a difference of 0.86 (95% confidence interval; -0.002, 1.71) (P = 0.088) between the groups in changes from baseline to 12 months.

Conclusions

The present study suggests regular consumption of matcha could improve emotional perception and sleep quality in older adults with mild cognitive decline. Given the widespread availability and cultural acceptance of matcha green tea, incorporating it into the daily routine may offer a simple yet effective strategy for cognitive enhancement and dementia prevention.

Published: August 2024

Pig farming in Mexico is critical to the economy and food supply. Mexico has achieved advancements in swine health and established an electronic database that records swine movements (Sistema Nacional de Avisos de Movilización, SNAM). In this study, we characterized swine movement patterns in México between 2017 and 2019 to identify specific areas and periods that require concentrated efforts for effective epidemiological surveillance and disease control. We employed a Social Network Analysis (SNA) methodology to comprehensively describe and analyze the intricate patterns of pig movement. In addition, we sought to integrate swine population density into the analysis. We used metrics to characterize the network structure and identify the most critical nodes in the movement network. Cohesion metrics were used to identify commercial communities characterized by a high level of interconnectivity in swine movements between groups of nodes. Of a cumulative count of 662,255 pig shipments, 95.9% were attributed to slaughterhouse shipments. We observed that 54% of all Mexican municipalities were part of the network; however, the density of the movement network was less than 0.14%. We identified four Swine Production Centers in Mexico with high interconnectivity in the movement network. We detected moderate positive correlations (ρ ≥0.4 and <0.6, p < 0.001) between node metrics and swine population indicators, whereas the number of commercial swine facilities showed weak correlations with the node metrics. We identified six large, geographically clustered commercial communities that aligned with the Swine Production Centers. This study provides a comprehensive overview of swine movement patterns in Mexico and their close association with swine production centers, which play a dual role as producers and traders within the swine industry of Mexico. Our research offers valuable insights for policymakers in developing disease prevention and control strategies.

Investigating novel compounds has become necessary due to the need for sophisticated materials in optoelectronic devices and spintronics. Because of their unique properties, magnesium-based spinels MgSm2X4 (X = S and Se) are very promising for these applications. We used the spin-polarized PBEsol for structural properties and the PBEsol functional for mechanical behavior, both using the WIEN2k code. Both compounds’ stability in the magnetic and non-magnetic phases was validated by the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state, and their stability in the cubic phase was verified by the Born stability criterion. Their ductile character was shown by the computation of Pugh’s ratio and Poisson ratio. Both MgSm2S4 and MgSm2Se4 display metallic behavior in the spin-up channel and semiconducting behavior in the spin-down channel, indicating a half-metallic nature, according to TB-mBJ potential calculations. With total magnetic moments of 20 μB, both materials showed ferromagnetic properties. Samarium ions contributed 5.27 μB for MgSm2S4 and 5.34 μB for MgSm2Se4. Furthermore, we computed optical parameters in the energy range of 0 to 15 eV, such as absorption, extinction coefficient, reflectivity, dielectric function, and refractive index. Our results demonstrate the potential of MgSm2X4 spinels for future technological developments by revealing their prospective optoelectronic and spintronic applications.

Published: August 2024

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of malignancy in children. ALL prognosis after initial diagnosis is generally good; however, patients suffering from relapse have a poor outcome. The tumor microenvironment is recognized as an important contributor to relapse, yet the cell-cell interactions involved are complex and difficult to study in traditional experimental models. In the present study, we established an innovative larval zebrafish xenotransplantation model, that allows the analysis of leukemic cells (LCs) within an orthotopic niche using time-lapse microscopic and flow cytometric approaches. LCs homed, engrafted and proliferated within the hematopoietic niche at the time of transplant, the caudal hematopoietic tissue (CHT). A specific dissemination pattern of LCs within the CHT was recorded, as they extravasated over time and formed clusters close to the dorsal aorta. Interactions of LCs with macrophages and endothelial cells could be quantitatively characterized. This zebrafish model will allow the quantitative analysis of LCs in a functional and complex microenvironment, to study mechanisms of niche mediated leukemogenesis, leukemia maintenance and relapse development.
Abusing the unprotected ‘poor’: The prevalence of povertyist stigma and hate speech on unmoderated newspaper comment threads
Authors: Morrison James
Published: August 2024

The UK-wide Equality Act 2010 forbids discrimination based on age, sex, race, religion/belief, disability, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership, and pregnancy and maternity – yet no such protections apply to people experiencing poverty and/or class-based inequalities. This legislative ‘blind-spot’ extends to UK media regulation, with most industry ethical codes prioritizing the same ‘protected characteristics’ as the law. As a result, legacy print news outlets and their audiences can freely publish statements about people in poverty that would be defined as hate speech; ruled in breach of ethical codes; and liable for potential prosecution if directed at protected groups. This article explores the prevalence of povertyist hatred on comments published on two conservative-leaning news-sites (www.telegraph.co.uk and www.dailymail.co.uk) in response to articles about rising labour shortages and ‘economic inactivity’ rates during the post-COVID-19 ‘cost-of-living crisis’. It exposes serious gaps in the legal and regulatory framework(s) around protected characteristics, while also posing difficult questions for editors and moderators about the (in)adequacy of their existing policies for safeguarding groups already protected by law.
‘Ski masks’, spectacles and solidarity: Mainstream Irish media representations of housing activists and activisms
Authors: Reid-Buckley El , Brennan Daniel
Published: August 2024

This article demonstrates how Irish mainstream media supports the neo-liberal policy responses of successive governments in relation to housing through a particular focus on how housing organizers, activists and movements are framed. We suggest here that this framing facilitates the maintenance of binaries of both ‘acceptable’ and ‘unacceptable’ homelessness and the associated actions which challenge the housing crisis, which in turn compromises the ability for broad-based coalitions of solidarity to be mobilized.

SOBRE A EDUCAÇÃO CONTEMPORÂNEA: DIÁLOGOS E SOLICITAÇÕES
Authors: Lima Paulo Gomes
Published: August 2024

As solicitações e diálogos destacadas no presente número da Ensaios Pedagógicos, vol.3, n.1 de 2019, são mostras de que anúncios, denúncias e encaminhamento à educação contemporânea são possíveis e tangíveis de visibilidade. Primeiro pela aproximação/distanciamento entre o que é registrado pelas políticas públicas atuais e as demandas populacionais que colocam a necessidade de também se pensar o eixo da justiça social. Segundo pela necessidade de se ter e construir instrumentos de fiscalização e monitoramento sobre o que é feito e como é desenhado as seleções de ações políticas sobre a necessidade social e finalmente, pela apreensão do que deveria estar sendo contemplado, na orientação do mercado laboral. Os trabalhos aqui apresentados, reunidos em oito artigos reúnem informações, argumento e propostas sobre a leitura da e na educação na contemporaneidade, eixos que podem listar possíveis caminhos que orientarão o Brasil para anos posteriores.

Será analisado como o ensino superior tem se transformado num rentável instrumento de negócios pelas empresas da educação. O texto problematiza a educação como “mercadoria” e trata a questão da universidade enquanto bem público, que merece ser tutelada pelo Estado, mas que está no domínio da iniciativa privada.
O ENSINO SUPERIOR NA AMERICA LATINA: INTERNACIONALIZAÇÃO, MERCADORIZAÇÃO E INCLUSÃO
Authors: Macedo Maria do Socorro Alencar Nunes
Published: August 2024

A internacionalização do ensino superior na América Latina ocorre a passos lentos se comparada ao processo de Bolonha na Europa. Muitos são os documentos resultantes de acordos formais nas três últimas décadas entre os representantes dos diferentes países, com a participação de  agências supranacionais como a UNESCO, o Banco Mundial, a CEPAL, O MERCOSUL, a UNASUL evidenciando uma tentativa de articulação para a criação de um espaço de educação superior para a região. Os desafios complexificam-se se levarmos em conta a necessária discussão das políticas de inclusão para o ensino superior implementadas a partir dos anos 2000, especialmente no Brasil, país que detém a mais robusta rede de instituições do ensino superior da região. Tal processo de inclusão não ocorreu sem a ampliação do processo de mercadorização do ensino superior, a partir do momento em que instituições privadas com fins lucrativos passaram a ter sua atuação regulamentada no Brasil.

Authors: Donato Sueli Pereira , Ens Romilda Teodora , Ribas Marciele Stiegler , Santos Simone Rachel Cunico
Published: August 2024

Este estudo objetiva analisar os elementos de profissionalidade docente presentes nas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (2015) para a formação inicial em nível superior (cursos de licenciatura, cursos de formação pedagógica para graduados e cursos de segunda licenciatura) e formação continuada. Na primeira parte, trazemos reflexões sobre o contexto em que se insere a formação de professores no Brasil e as representações sociais. Na segunda, estudamos a relação entre formação inicial e DCNs (2015). Na sequência, traçamos o caminho percorrido pela análise textual possibilitada pelo software Iramuteq, a partir da Classificação Hierárquica Descendente (CHD) e da análise documental do tipo exploratória, o que permitiu compreender como esses elementos são regulados pela legislação e propõem, na subjetividade da prática docente, a relação teoria e prática.

Published: August 2024

INTRODUCTION:

The advent of artificial intelligence–powered large language models capable of generating interactive responses to intricate queries marks a groundbreaking development in how patients access medical information. Our aim was to evaluate the appropriateness and readability of gastroenterological information generated by Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer (ChatGPT).

METHODS:

We analyzed responses generated by ChatGPT to 16 dialog-based queries assessing symptoms and treatments for gastrointestinal conditions and 13 definition-based queries on prevalent topics in gastroenterology. Three board-certified gastroenterologists evaluated output appropriateness with a 5-point Likert-scale proxy measurement of currency, relevance, accuracy, comprehensiveness, clarity, and urgency/next steps. Outputs with a score of 4 or 5 in all 6 categories were designated as “appropriate.” Output readability was assessed with Flesch Reading Ease score, Flesch-Kinkaid Reading Level, and Simple Measure of Gobbledygook scores.

RESULTS:

ChatGPT responses to 44% of the 16 dialog-based and 69% of the 13 definition-based questions were deemed appropriate, and the proportion of appropriate responses within the 2 groups of questions was not significantly different (P = 0.17). Notably, none of ChatGPT’s responses to questions related to gastrointestinal emergencies were designated appropriate. The mean readability scores showed that outputs were written at a college-level reading proficiency.

DISCUSSION:

ChatGPT can produce generally fitting responses to gastroenterological medical queries, but responses were constrained in appropriateness and readability, which limits the current utility of this large language model. Substantial development is essential before these models can be unequivocally endorsed as reliable sources of medical information.
