Published: December 2024

This article presents a project developed by students from the Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Design in partnership with Unisenai/Unesc, involving the creation of historical miniature garments. In the course "Historical Conceptions: Design, Art, and Fashion," students were challenged to recreate historical clothing for dolls using the SENAI Professional Education Methodology (MSEP). The goal was to integrate historical knowledge with creativity, promoting a deep understanding of the evolution of clothing. Students engaged in expository and interactive classes on the chronology of clothing, covering periods from Prehistory to the Renaissance. They explored how fashion evolved from a basic need for protection to a form of cultural and personal expression. During the Renaissance, fashion emerged as a significant cultural phenomenon, reflecting social and artistic changes.The methodology included discussion circles to encourage critical thinking, practical activities in the creativity lab for fashion illustration, and sewing sessions for garment creation. The exhibition of mini looks to the academic community allowed students to connect theory with practice, highlighting the cultural and historical relevance of clothing. The experience provided a deeper understanding of fashion evolution, aligning students' technical training with market demands and promoting an innovative approach to teaching. The MSEP proved effective in developing critical professionals well-prepared to face future challenges.

Published: December 2024

Background: Green gram (Vigna radiata (L.) is a significant pulse crop in India, renowned for its protein content and nitrogen-fixing ability. This research, which explores the impact of rhizobium, putrescine and calcium chloride on green gram’s biochemical properties, yield and yield attributes, provides valuable insights for the agricultural community, enlightening them on potential strategies to enhance green gram production. Methods: The present study was conducted during the summer season for two consecutive years (2022-23). The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with eight treatments and three replications. Treatments included individual and combined biopriming with rhizobium, foliar application of putrescine and calcium chloride. Result: Results demonstrated that all treatments significantly enhanced the measured biochemical properties and yield parameters compared to the control. Among all the treatments, the best results were found in the treatment with the combination of rhizobium, putrescine and calcium chloride (T7), showing statistically significant (p less than 0.05) improvements in most of the parameters at 30 and 60 DAS. The data analysis revealed the substantial increase in total flavanol content (0.541 mg g-1), total flavonoid content (0.816 mg g-1), PAL activity (0.078 mg g-1), bound phenol content (0.230 mg g-1), test weight (45.93 g), seed weight pod-1 (0.49 g), seed weight plant-1 (16.99g), no. of seed pod-1 (9.55), no. of seed plant-1 (34.90), biological yield (3858.77 kg/ha), economic yield (1261.50 kg/ha) and harvest index (32.70%). These findings suggest integrating microbial inoculants, growth regulators and essential nutrients can effectively enhance green gram yield and nutritional quality in summer cultivation.

Authors: Goudet Jean-Pierre
Published: December 2024

Les plantations expérimentales d'espèces à croissance rapide au Gabon (Eucalyptus en particulier) sont liées à des objectifs de production spécifiques : la production de bois d'œuvre, de bois de trituration et de charbon de bois à des fins diverses.Les premières introductions à grande échelle datent de 1962, dans la savane côtière du périmètre de Wonga-Wengué. A partir de 1969, et surtout en 1977, des essais d'Eucalyptus adaptables au Gabon ont été développés dans la région de Kango, en liaison avec le projet SOGACEL (Société Gabonaise de Cellulose). Par ailleurs, à partir de 1979, des essais d'Eucalyptus ont été réalisés dans la savane de la zone de Franceville, en vue d'étudier les possibilités de production de charbon de bois à usage métallurgique.En ce qui concerne le choix des espèces feuillues, les Eucalyptus originaires de la zone de forêt dense donnent actuellement les meilleurs résultats : E. deglupta et E. urophylla. Il faut également souligner la valeur de l'E. torreliana. Les essais en sont actuellement au stade de l'étude de la meilleure provenance. La sélection individuelle en est à ses débuts.En ce qui concerne les résineux, Pinus caribaea hondurensis et certaines provenances de Pinus oocarpa donnent les meilleurs résultats.Les techniques sylvicoles (défrichement, pépinières et plantations) ont été développées. Des études de productivité sont en cours. Compte tenu des coûts de défrichement, les plantations en zone de savane humide sont les plus rentables économiquement. En zone forestière, toute plantation nécessite de tirer parti du potentiel des formations naturelles de bois sur pied.

Authors: Sousa Christian Gustavo de , Colling Leandro , Casteleira Rodrigo Pedro
Published: December 2024

O artigo evidencia uma transformação, ainda em curso, nos estudos queer/cuir no Brasil. Inicialmente, por aqui, o queer/cuir produziu reflexões em torno da interseccção entre sexo, sexualidade e gênero. Nos últimos anos, produções acadêmicas e artísticas têm ampliado, modificado e questionado esses estudos através dos feminismos negros, trans, indígenas e decoloniais. Emerge assim o pós-queer/cuir, uma estratégia teórica e artística sudaca artivista para (re)pensar as teorias e poéticas.

Authors: Angkawidjaja Katharina Merry Apriliani , Suryadinata Rivan Virlando
Published: December 2024

The general definition of psychopathic is an individual who focuses on self-perspective, is feelingless, without compassion, lacks empathy, lacks/disloyalty, and lacks the ability to form close relationships (less intimacy). Psychopathy is also known as psychopathic, antisocial, disocial, and sociopathic personality disorder. In Indonesia, clinical diagnosis guidelines for psychopathic individuals still refer to Dissocial Personality Disorder according to the Guidelines for Classification and Diagnosis of Mental Disorders Edition III (PPDGJ-III), coupled with other commonly used supporting examinations, namely the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory), LSRP (Levensone Self-Report Psychopathy Scales), PCL:SV (Psychopathy Checklist: Screening Version). This Narrative Literature Review aims to summarize findings about brain imaging in Psychopath. As for psychopathic-related brain imaging, namely aberrant brain activity was found in the prefrontal area, temporal cortex, limbic (amygdala- hippocampus complex), striatum, corpus callosum, and insular. These findings hope to be able to explain the basic etiological of deviant behavior in psychopathic perpetrators. Thus, psychopathic neuroanatomy is a research area that has the potential to contribute as a preventive and curative measure of psychopathy on a scientific basis.

Published: December 2024

Excessive amounts of iron in the body can lead to damage to various organs, including the kidneys. Iron chelators have been demonstrated to effectively reduce the accumulation of this excess iron. This study aims to investigate the impact of administering sappan wood extract (Caesalpinia sappan) as an adjuvant to iron chelators on the structure and function of kidneys in a rat model of iron overload. The experimental research, spanning 28 days, employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) involving 30 male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) distributed across 6 test groups. Iron dextran at 60 mg/kg bb induced iron overload, while a comparative iron chelator, deferiprone, was given at 1.35 mg/kg bb. Various doses of Sappan wood extract (SWE) 100, 150, and 200 mg/kg bb were administered to separate test groups. The parameters that are being observed include the distribution of iron and the structure of kidney injury. At a 95% confidence level, the acquired data were examined using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the Duncan test was used to see whether there were any differences. The study's findings demonstrated that each treatment group's kidney iron levels differed from the excess iron-containing control group (p <0.05). The histological investigation results demonstrated a significant difference in damage scores (p <0.05) between the groups administered secang wood extract and the excess besei control group. Adminstered of 100 mg/kgbw dose of EKS might lower their organ iron levels and lessen the harm that the iron did to their kidneys.

Background:

The use of systemic antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) and antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) is the accepted practice to reduce the risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in primary total knee arthroplasty (pTKA). However, practice varies internationally. This study's primary aim was to compare the risk of PJI revision after pTKA with ALBC + SAP vs. plain bone cement (PBC) + SAP, and the secondary aim was to assess whether the risk of PJI revision varies with the number of SAP doses.

Methods:

Cohort of 289,926 pTKAs for osteoarthritis from arthroplasty registries in Denmark, New Zealand, Norway, Romania, and United States registered from 2010 to 2020. One-year revision for PJI following pTKA with ALBC + SAP vs. PBC + SAP, and single vs. multiple SAP doses was compared. We computed cumulative percent revision (1 minus Kaplan-Meier) using distributed analysis method and adjusted hazard rate ratios (HRRs) using Cox regression analyses within each registry. Advanced distributed meta-analysis was performed to summarize HRRs from all countries.

Results:

Among all pTKAs, 64.4% were performed with ALBC + SAP. Each registry reported a 1-year cumulative percent revision for PJI of <1.00% for both pTKAs with ALBC + SAP (0.34%-0.80%) and with PBC + SAP (0.54%-0.69%). The distributed meta-analysis showed HRR = 1.21; (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.79-1.87) for ALBC + SAP compared with PBC + SAP. Similar risk of PJI revision was observed between pTKAs with ALBC + single vs. multiple doses of SAP: 2 doses (0.95; 95% CI, 0.68-1.33), 3 doses (1.09; 95% CI, 0.64-1.87), and 4 doses (1.23; 95% CI, 0.69-2.21). Comparable results were found for the PBC + SAP group except for higher risk of PJI revision with 4 doses of SAP (2.74; 95% CI, 1.11-6.75).

Conclusions:

ALBC and PBC entailed similar risk of PJI revision when patients received SAP in pTKA, regardless of number of SAP doses. ALBC or PBC used in combination with SAP in pTKAs, with one single preoperative dose of SAP may be sufficient without compromising the patient safety.

Vulnerability study of groundwater using interaction-based model in Musi River Basin, Telangana, India
Authors: Mondal N. C. , Chandrapuri S.
Published: December 2024

This article aims to develop an interaction-based model for assessing hydrogeological risks by quantifying uncertainties in parameters such as precipitation, soil moisture, evapotranspiration, surface water runoff, and groundwater level. The model is applied to eight sub-basins of the Musi River in Telangana, India, to compare their hydrogeological vulnerabilities. The results indicate that the Musi basin receives substantial annual rainfall, with significant variability in precipitation levels across different sub-basins and years. A large proportion of the precipitation occurs during the monsoon season from June to September. Increased rainfall significantly raises water levels, demonstrating a direct correlation between rainfall and groundwater depth. This relationship is crucial for effective water management. Rainfall variability is considerable, leading to significant fluctuations in water levels, reflecting the basin's hydrological responsiveness. Entropy measures highlight the complexity and predictability of hydrological interactions. During the monsoon, M7-Osman Sagar sub-basin shows significant recharge, but the M4-Shamirpet sub-basin the least. Whereas the M6-Hussain Sagar exhibits a stable recharge pattern year-round. Evapotranspiration and depth to water level interactions vary across sub-basins, indicating differences in water availability and atmospheric conditions. The highest soil moisture interaction, particularly during the monsoon has observed at a few sub-basins. Surface runoff and depth to water level interactions also vary, with M3-Bikkeru having the highest interaction, suggesting high responsiveness to runoff. Groundwater vulnerability classifications based on two diverse hydrological attributes indicate varying levels of risk across the sub-basins. These findings underscore the importance of understanding basin-specific interactions for effective water resource management and planning, particularly in regions with varied hydrological responses to rainfall and groundwater resources. This nuanced approach aids in designing effective strategies for irrigation, water storage, and flood management tailored to each basin's unique characteristics.

Published: December 2024

Taraxacum kok-saghyz dandelion is a leading alternative natural rubber-producing plant that thrives in temperate climates. Latex, rubber and rubber transferase (RTase) activity of genetically identical clonal plants, produced in tissue culture, and then grown in the field for six months to one year was quantified throughout development. Induction of rubber transferase activity and rubber accumulation occurred between two and three months. RTase activity increased with age up to 16 weeks, while latex concentration increased up to week 20. When enzymatically active WRP were saturated with 5 mM [14C]-isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and 12 µM farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP), reaction velocity was 85% higher at 16 weeks than at 12 weeks of plant growth. The RTase FPP Km was about 0.263 µM, through most of the growth period, in line with other laciferous species. High molecular weight rubber was produced in very young roots. 0.9 Mg/mol in only 6 weeks and 1.1 Mg/mol in 8 weeks.

Published: December 2024

The Cre-driven tdTomato reporter system is widely used to visualize gene expression and cellular dynamics. Here we tested the impact of the tdTomato reporter system on the progression of both central and peripheral manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in dLckCre mice. We crossed dLckCre mice with ROSA26floxed-Stop-tdTomato mice to generate the conditional dLck-driven tdTomato reporter mice (DT mice). Then, SLE models were induced by pristane injection in DT mice or by crossing DT mice with B6/lpr mice. Central and peripheral manifestations of SLE were tested by. Surprisingly, we found DT mice exhibited a significant reduction in the progression of peripheral manifestations of SLE, evidenced by decreased severity of lymph node and splenic lesions, and improved renal pathology. However, DT mice showed similar central manifestations of SLE as control mice, evidenced by similar behavioral performance, CD4+ T cell infiltration in the choroid plexus, and microglial activation in the hippocampus. Flow cytometry revealed a significant reduction in the proportion of double-negative (DN) T cells in the peripheral blood of the DT mice. Thus, conditional tdTomato expression alleviated peripheral but not central manifestations of SLE in dLckCre mice, suggesting a diverse role of dLck-labeled T lymphocytes in SLE development. Our results also provide additional evidence supporting the existence of a distinct separation mechanism between peripheral and central manifestations of SLE.
Improved TODIM method for Probabilistic Linguistic MAGDM based on New Distance Measure
Authors: Li Ke , Xu Lei , Liu Yi , Wang Hongjuan , Rong Yuan
Published: December 2024

Probabilistic linguistic term sets (PLTSs) offer a superior means of capturing decision-makers’ evaluations, accurately and reliably reflecting their opinions. It account for both the inherent ambiguity of linguistic terms and the uncertainty associated with those terms. In this article, we elaborate on the application of the Frank operator within the context of probabilistic linguistic multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM), leveraging its adjusted rules. In addition, we introduce a novel distance measure, rooted in linguistic scale functions, to address the limitations of existing distance metrics. Based on this new distance measure, we develop an extended TODIM method specific to the PLTSs environment.Concurrently, we enhance the rationality of attribute weighting by integrating the criteria importance though intercrieria correlation(CRITIC) method and the best-worst method (BWM) within the PLTSs framework. To demonstrate the practical application of our proposed approach, the purchase selection of electric vehicles was taken as an example to show the procedure of the proposed method. We outline the step-by-step procedure and conduct sensitivity and comparative analyses to validate the effectiveness and rationality of our methodology.

Published: December 2024

Humic acid (HA), a complex organic compound of natural matter, is harmless on its own but can form carcinogenic disinfection byproducts such as trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids during water chlorination and disinfection processes, posing serious risks to aquatic organisms and human health. We present a B-site dual-metal-doping strategy to fabricate ferromagnetic perovskite-type adsorbents for rapid and efficient HA degradation. Through B-site modification with Ti and Co, the resulting perovskite absorbent exhibits a rapid HA adsorption rate with a high adsorption capacity of 381 mg/g. We demonstrate that the adsorbent can be regenerated in situ or magnetically recovered for Fenton regeneration. The dynamic adsorption behavior of HA is accurately described and predicted by the Bed Depth Service Time (BDST), Thomas, and Yoon-Nelson models while computational simulations provide insights into the interactions between the perovskite adsorbent and HA molecules. Our findings reveal the potential of perovskite materials as highly effective catalytic adsorbents for organic compounds that can be efficiently regenerated, paving the way for their development in water remediation applications.

In coal mine production activities, unsafe behaviours of workers are one of the important factors leading to frequent accidents. In view of the complex and changing working environment of coal mines, the safety risks faced by workers are high, therefore, exploring the internal mechanism of the unsafe behaviours of coal mine workers and the action mechanism between the influencing factors has become the top priority of studying the unsafe behaviours of coal mine workers. First of all, with the help of text mining techniques, this paper extracts a total of 26 factors affecting the unsafe behaviours of coal mine workers. Then, DEMATEL-ISM method is used to construct the mutual influence mechanism among the factors influencing unsafe behaviours and the hierarchical logical relationship among the factors, and then the key cause nodes affecting the unsafe behaviours of coal mine workers are obtained, which are work experience and psychological status. Then, Arena simulation technology was used to analyse the risk transmission path among the factors influencing unsafe behaviours, taking work experience and psychological status as the starting point, and the risk transmission rule among the factors influencing unsafe behaviours of coal mine workers was obtained. Finally, specific control countermeasures for coal mine workers' unsafe behaviours are proposed from five aspects: safety management, individual, group, safety leadership and physical environment. The results of this study can provide important theoretical support and practical guidance for coal mine safety production, help to reduce the accident rate, ensure the life safety of coal mine workers and the sustainable development of enterprises.

Background: The widespread application of computed tomography (CT) for pulmonary disease screening has led to an increased detection of pulmonary nodules. However, this has also resulted in a high false-positive rate for suspected malignancies that ultimately prove to be benign. It is crucial to explore the clinical and imaging characteristics of these patients to avoid unnecessary major pulmonary resections. This study aims to evaluate the characteristics of surgically resected benign nodules that were initially presumed to be lung cancers based on lung CT scans.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 203 cases of benign lung nodules at the First Medical Centre of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) General Hospital from January 2017 to June 2023. Pathological examination following surgical resection confirmed pulmonary granulomatous inflammation in these cases. The study cohort was divided into two groups: 86 patients with benign nodules and 117 with malignant nodules, all diagnosed based on imaging features. Given the overlapping imaging features of benign and malignant nodules, the clinical and imaging characteristics of both groups were compared to reduce the incidence of unnecessary surgeries. Various machine learning models, including Random Forest, SVM linear, SVM nonlinear, Logistic Regression, XGBoost, and k-Nearest Neighbor, were constructed. With the optimal model selected based on performance on a validation set, A framework was developed to identify personalized risk factors using a feature importance ranking algorithm.
Results: Analysis of data from 203 patients revealed significant differences in maximum lesion size (pathological diagnosis), nodule density, boundary, calcification, satellite nodules, vascular aggregation sign, vacuole sign, spiculation sign, lobulation sign, pleural indentation sign, and nodule location (p<0.05). The SVMlinear model, which achieved the highest AUC (0.867), was selected for the final predictive model.Using recursive feature elimination method and manual feature selection, the feature of lesion size, lobulation sign, vacuole sing and enlarged lymph nodes have been screened in predicting and distinguishing the nature of nodules through imaging.
Conclusion:Benign pulmonary nodules that are unexpectedly resected often present with features typically associated with malignancy, such as larger volumes, lobulation, vacuole signs, and enlarged lymph nodes. This study highlights the importance of accurately distinguishing between benign and malignant nodules to minimize unnecessary surgical interventions.

Objective: The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of two different local anesthetic concentrations on rebound pain following Fascial Iliac Compartment Block (FICB) retreat in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Method: 48 patients undergoing unilateral TKA under elective general anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups (n=24): the 0.1% ropivacaine group (Group A) and the 0.3% ropivacaine group (Group B). Before anesthesia, two groups of patients underwent a single ultrasound guided- FICB above the inguinal ligament, with 40 mL of 0.1% or 0.3% ropivacaine; all patients underwent perioperative multimodal analgesia. The first outcomes are incidence and degree of postoperative rebound pain; secondary outcomes are remedial analgesia rate within 48h postoperatively, opioid consumption from 0-24 h and 24-48 h postoperatively, NRS scores and muscle strength scores at rest and exercise at 24h and 48h postoperatively, and intravenous serum concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) before surgery and at 24 and 48 h after surgery.
Results: In group A, the incidence of postoperative rebound pain was lower (P<0.01), and the degree of rebound pain was milder (P<0.01). The remedial analgesia rate was lower within 48 h after surgery (P<0.05); opioid consumption was lower at 0-24 h after surgery (P<0.01); the postoperative NRS score at 24 h was lower (P<0.01), while the muscle strength score was higher (P<0.01); There was no statistically significant difference in intravenous serum concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α before surgery, and at 24 and 48 h after surgery.
Conclusion: The incidence of rebound pain after the resolution of FICB with low-concentration ropivacaine was lower, and low-concentration ropivacaine FICB was more suitable for multimodal analgesia in TKA patients.

Background: Craniopharyngioma (CP) surgery in children leads to high rate of recurrence, and morbid complications. Transcranial approach is the most frequently proposed surgical technique, but transsphenoidal endoscopic approach is also used.
Pre and post-operative complications of the tumor are well known, but early multidisciplinary management could improve the long-term outcome of these patients.
The aim of this study was to analyze the risk factors for pre-and post-operative long-term complications in a series of patients operated with an aggressive removal for CP.
Methods: A retrospective study of 26 children diagnosed with CP was carried out.
The surgical total removal was possible in 88% of cases after the revision of the post-operative MRI realized in the first 48 hours.
Results: Children with hypothalamic involvement were more likely to have endocrine deficits and to be overweight or obese pre-operatively. They also had a higher risk of early post-operative complications, and late morbidities.
Conclusion: Children with CP and strong hypothalamic involvement, have a higher risk of pre and post-operative complications but complete removal is associated with an high rate of cure with global good neuropsychological results. Early multidisciplinary post-operative management should be reinforced to improve the long-term outcome but surgery with total removal can insure definitive acceptable clinical results.

Developing early-heading wheat cultivars is an important breeding strategy for saving photo-terminal resources, and facilitating the multiple-cropping systems and annual grain yield. Psathyrostachys huashanica Keng (2n = 2x = 14, NsNs) is a potentially useful germplasm of early heading and maturation for wheat improvement. In this study, we found that a wheat–P. huashanica 7Ns disomic addition line, namely 18-1-5, showed earlier heading and earlier maturation than its wheat parents. Morphological observations of spike differentiation revealed that 18-1-5 developed distinctly faster than its wheat parents from the double ridge stage during spike development. To explore the potential molecular mechanisms on the early heading, we performed transcriptome analysis at four different developmental stages of 18-1-5 and its wheat parents. A total of 10,043 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified during spike development. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis showed that these DEGs were linked to carbohydrate metabolic process, photosynthesis, response to abscisic acid, and ethylene-activated signaling pathway. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis showed that these DEGs were mainly involved in plant hormone signal transduction (ARF, AUX/IAA, SAUR, DELLA, BRI1, and ETR), starch and sucrose metabolism (SUS1 and TPP), photosynthesis-antenna proteins (Lhc), and circadian rhythm (PRR37, FT, Hd3a, COL, and CDF) pathways. In addition, several DEGs annotated as transcription factors (TFs), such as bHLH, bZIP, MADS-box, MYB, NAC, SBP, WRKY, and NF-Y, may be related to flowering time. Our results provide valuable information for further studies on the regulatory mechanism, candidate genes, and genetic resources of early-heading breeding in wheat.
