Functional Characterization of the Tmg-4 Magnesium Transporter with the GQN Motif from Neurospora crassa
Authors: Radarapu Sireesha , Gorityala Neelima , Banala Uday Kumar , Sagurthi Someswar Rao , Korripally Premsagar
Published: December 2023

To unveil the physiological relevance of magnesium and its transport pathways in Neurospora crassa, the vegetative, asexual, and sexual phases of development were investigated. Notably, a regular rate of hyphal growth extension was observed in media without magnesium supplementation. Further, conidia and perithecia formation was completely abolished under the same conditions. By estimating the levels of mycelial cations, magnesium was identified as the 3rd most abundant ion and its transport was found to be mediated by four putative CorA magnesium transporters: Tmg-1, Tmg-2, Tmg-3, and Tmg-4. Among these, the Tmg-4 transporter encoded by the NCU07816.5 (tmg-4) gene possesses a GQN motif instead of the universally conserved GMN motif of CorA magnesium transporters. Phenotypic analysis of the knockout mutant strain, Δtmg-4, revealed stunted vegetative growth, acquired partial cobalt resistance, and reduced levels of mycelial magnesium compared to that of the wild type strain. Further, tmg-4 gene expression remained unchanged during vegetative development but was upregulated by three-fold in the sexual cycle. Collectively, these results validate tmg-4 and its encoded protein as functional novel variant in the CorA superfamily magnesium transporters of fungi.

Abstract: Prolonged sitting with poor posture can lead to discomfort and health issues. This paper presents the design and implementation of a posture-detecting smart chair aimed at promoting ergonomic awareness and preventing discomfort associated with improper sitting positions. The proposed system utilizes an Arduino Uno microcontroller and ultrasonic sensors to monitor the user's posture in real-time. The system consists of an Arduino Uno microcontroller, an ultrasonic sensor (HCSR04), power supply, connectivity. The ultrasonic sensor is strategically positioned to measure the distance between the chair and the user's back. The Arduino Uno processes the sensor data and notify the user to encourage a correct sitting posture when improper positioning is detected. The algorithm involves continuous monitoring of the ultrasonic sensor's readings. When the distance between the user and the chair falls below a predefined threshold, indicative of poor posture, the system notify user to change the posture. Additionally, feedback mechanisms such as LEDs or buzzers provide real-time alerts to the user, enhancing their awareness of their sitting habits. This low-cost, Arduino-based solution offers a practical and accessible means to address the increasingly prevalent issue of poor posture. The proposed smart chair contributes to the growing field of smart furniture, leveraging simple yet effective technology to promote health-conscious behaviors in daily life

Delta and “Boom”: Novels of Mario Vargas Llosa through the Prism of Stylometry
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Kovalev Boris V.
Published: December 2023

The paper deals with the poetics of the novels of the Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa and the evolution of his style. To solve research problems, it is used the Delta method which is the most authoritative and reliable stylometric tool that allows you to compare texts based on the distribution of most frequent words. The work poses three questions: 1) Do Vargas Llosa's early total novels The Time of the Hero, The Green House, and Conversation in the Cathedral differ at the level of style from the later novels, forming a separate group, as the literary hypothesis claims? Answer: the hypothesis is confirmed; 2) Is it possible to divide the fifteen texts of the second period into smaller groups based on stylistic similarities? Answer: novels of the second period are divided into three large groups. Moreover, an interesting correlation is revealed: the novels grouped into separate groups have similarities not only at the level of style, but also at the level of themes, composition and narrative features; 3) Whether the “boom” is a stylistically isolated period in the poetics of its key authors? Answer: the novels written by Latin American authors during the boom period (1960–1970s) are not stylistically isolated: the authorial signal is stronger, and the case of Vargas Llosa with a clear differentiation of groups of novels is unique.
Vetluguin as Frederick Van Ryn: about Vladimir Ryndzyun’s American Literary “Projection”
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Nikolaev Dmitry D.
Published: December 2023

The article examines the American period of V.I. Ryndzyun's life and his work as an American writer and journalist. Vladimir Ryndzyun began publishing in Russia before the Revolution, and in the early 1920s he became famous under the pen-name “A. Vetlugin” thanks to publications in Russian émigré newspapers and books published in Paris and Berlin. He arrived in the USA in 1923 with Sergey Yesenin and Isadora Duncan and decided to stay there. He contributed to American journalism and American cinema as Voldemar Vetluguin, and to American literature as Frederick Van Ryn. In the fall of 1933, his essay “There's No Repealing Tastes”, signed with the pen-name Frederick Van Ryn was published in the first issue of Esquire magazine along with the works of Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, Erskine Caldwell, etc. In 1934 he became an editor of RedBook Magazine as Voldemar Vetluguin. In 1936 he started to contribute in this pulp fiction magazine as Frederick Van Ryn as if he decided to separate his work as an editor and his literary works. Under the name of Frederick Van Ryn, he also collaborated with other magazines: a number of his publications appeared in the 1940s in Liberty; all of them have to do with cinema. His new pen-name made it possible for him to develop the author’s strategy in the USA, but in general it fits into the system of author’s masks / projections, which are typical for V.I. Rynzdyun’s / Voldemar Vetluguin’s works and self-fashioning.
“Dr. Seuss of Beasts and Men: the Cartoonist’s Experience and the Illustrated Tales of the 1930–1950s
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moroz Nina A.
Published: December 2023

The paper deals with the first decades in the work of Dr. Seuss (the pseudonym of Theodor Geisel, 1904–1991), one of the most prominent children’s authors of the 20th century. Seuss was not only the author of children’s tales, but also a talented artist who illustrated his own books and whose manner was deeply influenced by his 15-year experience as a cartoonist. In 1920–1940s he worked for different print media, from humor magazines to a political newspaper, drew cartoons and commercial advertisements. Our aim is to study the mutual influence of Seuss-thecartoonist and Seuss-the-writer and illustrator. Our main focus is the “bestiary” of Dr. Seuss, the animal characters of his cartoons and tales. Seuss created his first eccentric animals in the series of cartoons and anecdotes for a weekly satirical magazine Judge in 1927; he blended the Victorian tradition of nonsense and the features of newspaper cartoons and comic strips of the first decades of the 20th century. The motif of eccentricity is developed in the first children’s tales that Seuss published at the turn of the 1930–40s. The same motif is significantly transformed in his political cartoons for a daily newspaper PM in 1941–1942. Seuss puts the familiar animal images into the context of World War II and gives them different political meaning, from the totalitarian insanity of the Axis leaders to the carelessness and blindness of the “America First” supporters. Interestingly enough, Dr. Seuss used in his political cartoons some plot elements of his tales for children, as well as his old sketches and drawings. In its turn, his post-war tales are peculiar parables that absorb the political issues of the previous historical period. Creating his images of tyrants, Seuss makes use of the techniques of political cartoons. He puts his human and animal characters into the situations of tyranny or isolationism, that can be overcome with the help of common sense.
“Showy”, “Music-hall” America: To the Centenary of Sergey Esenin’s Essay Iron Mirgorod
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Shubnikova-Guseva Natalia I.
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the image of America created by S.A. Esenin after his trip to the West with I. Duncan in the essay “Iron Mirgorod” (1923) and offers a comprehensive analysis of the poetics and the main sources of his text. Esenin was the first Soviet poet to visit America and create an essay about it, taking into account the rich literary tradition and his own vivid impressions. During his four month stay in America the poet lived in the New York City and visited 14 cities, in 11 states: Baltimore, Boston, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis, Cleveland, Toledo, Toronto, Louisville, Memphis, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Chicago. In connection with the history of the creation and publication of the essay, the article pays attention to the ambiguous semantics of its title, its connection with reality and literary sources — the cycle of essays by M. Gorky’s In America (1906) and N.V. Gogol’s works, including the collection of novellas Mirgorod (1835). The researcher analyzes the multilevel content, the correlation between the external and internal dialogue and the creation of a complex and contradictory image, in which the showy, festive, carrying the “banner of industrial culture” is contrasted with the “music hall” America. The article reveals Esenin’s polemics with the poem 150 000 000 writen by Mayakovsky “on the basis of pictures” taken from old magazines, “translating Whitman” (most of Esenin‘s attacks against Mayakovsky were not published) and his controversy with Russian urbanists (those from “Kuznitsa,” “LEF”). Esenin’s deep concern for the problems of modern spirituality and culture was expressed in categorical and sometimes shocking tone of his assessments and judgments, oddity of style and the pecularity of genre — the essay is written in an ironic manner balancing between satire and grotesque. Carrying on a dialogue with Gogol, Esenin extremely sharpens the contradictions of real America and warns against choosing the American path of development with its exceptionalism, false pride of being “cultured”, “immersion in business” and “the power of dollar.”

Authors: Iñonan Moran Marcos Jose , Orduña Fernandez Pablo , Hussein Rania
Published: December 2023

La introducción de herramientas tecnológicas en la educación ha generado entornos que simplifican la transmisión de conocimiento hacia el estudiantado. Sin embargo, no todas las personas tienen igualdad de acceso a estas herramientas y diversos estudios han investigado sobre los factores de esta brecha digital. Específicamente en el ámbito de la educación de ingeniería, los laboratorios remotos están ganando terreno, al ofrecer la oportunidad de experimentar con equipos especializados de manera remota desde cualquier sitio por medio del Internet. A medida que estos laboratorios se integran cada vez más en los planes de estudio universitarios, también pueden generar desigualdades digitales entre el estudiantado debido a su avanzado requerimiento de conocimiento en hardware y software. Por lo tanto, el propósito fundamental de este ensayo es adaptar el Laboratorio de Ingeniería Remota para Acceso Inclusivo (RELIA, por sus siglas en inglés) que opera dispositivos de la tecnología de radio definida por software (SDR, por sus siglas en inglés), al contexto latinoamericano, con el fin de abordar y estudiar en el futuro las desigualdades digitales que los laboratorios remotos generan en la educación de radiofrecuencia en América Latina. Para lograr esto, se ha empleado una metodología que identifica las necesidades de la audiencia latinoamericana, a través de una revisión bibliográfica que explora la literatura existente sobre las desigualdades digitales en los Estados Unidos y América Latina. Además, como objetivo futuro, se planea comparar estos hallazgos con investigaciones similares y encuestas realizadas en los Estados Unidos.

Published: December 2023

El objetivo de este aporte es brindar algunas recomendaciones sobre el uso de ChatGPT® para la corrección de textos académicos. La revisión constituye una fase fundamental del proceso de escritura que involucra mejorar tanto los aspectos retóricos como de contenido de los textos. Sin embargo, por tratarse particularmente de una tarea difícil que requiere, además de conocimientos lingüísticos, de una carga reflexiva importante, es común que el estudiantado la omita o se limite a valorar únicamente aspectos ortográficos, dejando de lado otros niveles de mayor complejidad. Debido a esto, resulta necesario desarrollar iniciativas que guíen y faciliten esta tarea. Al respecto, el análisis propuesto ensaya algunas de las posibilidades que ofrece la inteligencia artificial para apoyar a estudiantes que recién ingresan en la universidad con la revisión y reescritura de sus textos. Para ello, se utilizaron y adaptaron fragmentos de textos escritos por estudiantes con el fin de poner a prueba la efectividad de la plataforma para diagnosticar y corregir problemas relacionados con la cohesión. Como conclusión principal, se obtiene que herramientas como ChatGPT® pueden contribuir al mejoramiento de los procesos de escritura, al tiempo que favorecen el aprendizaje autónomo en torno a la revisión de textos desde una perspectiva innovadora; sin embargo, no sustituyen la responsabilidad que tiene la persona escritora de revisar su texto, solo lo complementa.

Determinants of bank profitability: Evidence from the emerging economy
Authors: Mashamba Tafirei , Chikutuma Chisinga N.
Published: December 2023

This study examines the determinants of bank profitability in Zimbabwe, a country that has faced severe economic challenges in the past decade. To address this issue, we use a panel data analysis of 11 commercial banks over the period 2011–2020 and apply the system generalised method of moments (GMM) estimator to control heterogeneity and endogeneity issues. We find that bank specific factors, such as non-interest income, liquidity, cost efficiency, capital adequacy, and bank stability, have a positive and significant impact on bank profitability, while the industry factor, bank concentration, has a negative and significant impact on bank profitability. We also find that macroeconomic factors, such as gross domestic product (GDP) and inflation, do not have a significant influence on bank profitability. This result is surprising given the high inflation and low growth rates experienced by Zimbabwe in recent years. Moreover, we find that regulatory capital weakens the positive effect of bank stability on bank profitability in Zimbabwe. This result suggests that higher capital requirements may reduce the risk-taking incentives or opportunities of banks, which may lower their profitability potential. Finally, we find no evidence of a moderating effect of fintech on bank performance. This result implies that fintech may not significantly impact the competitiveness and performance of banks in Zimbabwe in non interest income activities. Our study concludes that bank profitability in Zimbabwe is mainly determined by internal factors that are under the control of bank managers and regulators, rather than external factors that are beyond their influence. Based on these findings, we provide several policy implications and recommendations for enhancing bank profitability and fostering a sound and resilient banking sector in Zimbabwe.

Authors: Krasinskaite Karina , Valciukiene Jolanta , Jukneliene Daiva
Published: December 2023

The article presents an analysis of changes in the agrarian landscape and the subdivision of its plots, using three Lithuanian municipalities as examples (Kaunas, Trakai and Šilutė). Statistical, comparative and multicriteria analysis methods were applied in the study. It was found that in all the studied municipalities, the area of the agrarian landscape was decreasing during the study period. The largest decreasing trends were in the municipality of Šilutė district, where the area covered by agrarian landscape decreased by more than 3%. At the same time, in the municipalities of Kaunas and Trakai districts, the area of agrarian landscape decreased quite evenly and did not reach 3%. It was also found that the number of agricultural holdings also decreased: by 27% in Kaunas district municipality and by over 33% in Trakai district municipality, but the area of agricultural holdings increased in all of the studied municipalities: in Kaunas district by over 5%, in Trakai district by over 37% and in Šilutė district by over 8%. The average size of a farm in Kaunas district remained rather stable, increasing by only 1%, in Šilutė district municipality the average farm size increased by more than 71% and in Trakai district municipality the tendency was the opposite, i.e. the average farm size decreased by more than 36%. The multicriteria analysis shows that the most common factors influencing changes in the agrarian landscape and its subdivision of plots vary between municipalities, but in general the following factors influence the changes in the agrarian landscape and its subdivision of plots: the land productivity score, the number of inhabitants, the distance to the centre of the city, the average size of the farms, the number of holdings, and the amount of land area occupied by bodies of water. The information collected and the results obtained show that in the municipalities analysed, the causes of change in the agrarian landscape and its subdivision of plots have a positive impact on the sustainable development of agriculture and rural areas.
The nexus between household consumption, consumer protection, and consumer confidence in European countries. A statistical-mathematical analysis
Authors: Ferrentino Rosa , Vota Luca
Published: December 2023

In this manuscript, the authors face the following research question: do
consumer protection and consumer confidence have predictive power on
household consumption? In order to provide an answer, the authors adopted a
proper mathematical-statistical method. In particular, they collected
cross-sectional data on 27 European countries and then estimated a
consumption function accounting for both the Post-Keynesian Absolute Income
Hypothesis and the Neoclassical Life-Cycle Hypothesis. This consumption
function comprises, as a control variable, the Consumer Conditions Index, a
measure of consumer protection calculated by the EU Commission. Moreover,
the authors distinguished the effects on household consumption of three
different aspects of consumer protection: Consumer knowledge of their rights
and trust, Compliance and enforcement of consumer law, and Complaints and
dispute resolution between consumers and retailers. The authors? findings
suggest that consumer protection may represent a transmission channel for
consumer confidence.
Associations Between Postdischarge Care and Cognitive Impairment–Related Hospital Readmissions for Ketoacidosis and Severe Hypoglycemia in Adults With Diabetes

Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE

Patients with severe hypoglycemia (SH) or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) experience high hospital readmission after being discharged. Cognitive impairment (CI) may further increase the risk, especially in those experiencing an interruption of medical care after discharge. This study examined the effect modification role of postdischarge care (PDC) on CI-associated readmission risk among U.S. adults with diabetes initially admitted for DKA or SH.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We used the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) (2016–2018) to identify individuals hospitalized with a diagnosis of DKA or SH. Multivariate Cox regression was used to compare the all-cause readmission risk at 30 days between those with and without CI identified during the initial hospitalization. We assessed the CI-associated readmission risk in the patients with and without PDC, an effect modifier with the CI status.

RESULTS

We identified 23,775 SH patients (53.3% women, mean age 65.9 ± 15.3 years) and 140,490 DKA patients (45.8% women, mean age 40.3 ± 15.4 years), and 2,675 (11.2%) and 1,261 (0.9%), respectively, had a CI diagnosis during their index hospitalization. For SH and DKA patients discharged without PDC, CI was associated with a higher readmission risk of 23% (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.23, 95% confidence interval 1.08–1.40) and 35% (aHR 1.35, 95% confidence interval 1.08–1.70), respectively. However, when patients were discharged with PDC, we found PDC was an effect modifier to mitigate CI-associated readmission risk for both SH and DKA patients (P < 0.05 for all).

CONCLUSIONS

Our results suggest that PDC can potentially mitigate the excessive readmission risk associated with CI, emphasizing the importance of postdischarge continuity of care for medically complex patients with comorbid diabetes and CI.
Evaluation of surface tortuosity on the corrosion resistance of organic coatings using laser texturing process
Authors: Caraguay Santiago , Pereira Thiago Soares , Ratuznei Francisco , Sejas Miriam Parra , Pereira Milton , Xavier Fabio Antônio
Published: December 2023

Surface tortuosity is a quantitative measure of the complexity of a material's surface. It is commonly defined as the ratio between the real length of the surface over the shortest distance between two points on the surface. An increase in surface tortuosity has been found to have advantageous effects on the durability of coated parts when exposed to corrosive and humid conditions. Laser surface texturing, a versatile process, can be used to modify the surface tortuosity by creating various structure patterns on the surface of steel. This study aims to investigate the impact of V-shaped groove dimensions on the resistance against corrosion creep of an organic coating applied to textured surfaces. Comparative surface tortuosity measurements were obtained for different groove dimensions while keeping the aspect ratio and textured areas constant. V-shaped grooves with an aspect ratio of 1 and sizes of 50, 100, and 200 μm were machined on carbon steel AISI-A36. The distance between adjacent grooves was varied to achieve different textured areas, ranging from 10% to 60%. The surface roughness (Sa) and surface tortuosity were characterized. The performance of the coating was evaluated using an accelerated corrosion test based on ISO 12944-9. The results indicate that V-shaped grooves with dimensions of 100 μm and a textured area of 40% exhibit the lowest coating delamination. It is worth to mention that the performance of organic coatings is enhanced up to a certain optimal point by an increase in surface tortuosity. However, beyond this optimal point, further increases in tortuosity do not lead to an increased resistance to the propagation of corrosion.

Character education in Indonesia has now become the concern of every group, this is due to the many deteriorating characters that occur in Indonesian society, such as corruption, law, theft and so on. Indonesia is not a country that lacks character education figures. In the 19th century, many Indonesians became big and influential scholars in the cities of Mecca and Medina, one of which was Sheikh Muhammad Nawawi al-Bantani al-Jawi. He has hundreds of students, and wrote 155 works in the form of bald Arabic (yellow book) which until now are scattered throughout Indonesia. This study aims to determine the concept, type and relevance of character education according to Sheikh Muhammad Nawawi al-Bantani in the Maraqi al-‘Ubudiyah book. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with discourse analysis and data analysis in steps: first determining the theme, second arranging the problem, third formulating the problem according to the theme, fourth collecting data, and fifth concluding. The concept of religious character education according to Sheikh Nawawi has two concepts, the first is to worship both morals and behavior. The religious characters contained in the book Maraqi al-‘Ubudiyah are: adab associating with God, the behavior of righteous people, santri behavior to teachers, adab children to parents, adab to friends, emotion, gratitude, humility, glorifying God's creatures, Character education according to Syekh Nawawi is still relevant if applied to education in Indonesia.
