Authors: Al-Sulami Zainab Amin , Abduljabbar Zaid Ameen , Nyangaresi Vincent Omollo , Ma Junchao
Published: August 2023

There is a lack of extensive research on the development of smart universities (SU). The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of knowledge management (KM) on the development of SU (DSU) in Iraq. According to the knowledge-based view (KBV), resource-based view (RBV), and KM capability model, this study suggests that the KM process (KMP) and KM infrastructure (KMI) have a positive impact on SUs development. Furthermore, the study suggests that KMI functions as a mediator. The study was conducted using a sample of five public universities in Iraq. A purposive sampling method was utilised to collect data from a total of 209 academic staff members. The study's results demonstrate that KMP (knowledge acquisition, knowledge sharing, and knowledge application) and KMI (IT infrastructure and human KM) have a significant impact on the DSU. Additionally, it was discovered that KMI plays a role in mediating the influence of KMP on the DSU. The findings indicate that successful KM can support the progress of SU. Further cross-national and variable-based studies are required to enhance the validity of this conclusion.

Published: August 2023

The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between academic success and personal development in students, as measured by their grades. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of policies in higher education institutions that promote both academic achievement and personal growth. The analytical method used is confirmatory factor analysis. The result of this study shows that students' personal development has no impact on the determination of online learning policies. Hence online learning policy determination cannot affect the assessment of online learning outcomes. Nonetheless, student’s personal development undertaken can influence the assessment of online learning outcomes, and implementing online learning policies can mediate the effect of personal development on online learning outcomes assessment. Therefore, a student's future achievement should be determined only by the academic performance that does not have to depend on local government policy.

Published: August 2023

The view of Radiotherapy (RT) as a simple inducer of DNA damage resulting in tumor cell death has dramatically changed in recent years, and it is now widely accepted that RT can trigger an immune response which provides a sound basis for combining RT with immunotherapy. Given that, radiation can be delivered with different regimens, its effect on immune responses and Tumor Immune Microenvironment (TIME) may vary with dose and fractionation schedule. This fractional dose dependency may need to be more considered because of recent developments in RT delivery techniques making it possible to deliver precisely higher dosages per fraction (hypofractionation) while reducing exposure to normal tissues. Although combining radiotherapy with immunotherapy could be a promising strategy for synergistic enhancement of treatment efficacy, the selection of the best-matched combination of immunotherapy with each radiotherapy scheme remains to be addressed. Thus, for designing better therapeutic combinations, it is necessary to understand the immunological effects of RT. Here, we review the impact of conventional and different hypofractionation radiation schedules on the TIME. Subsequently, we highlight how knowing about these interactions may have implications for choosing a rational combination with targeted therapies.

Authors: Arasteh Amir , Karimpour Morteza , Fallah Faezeh , Kiani Sara , Kakavan Maedeh
Published: August 2023

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent chronic neurodegenerative disorders. The present study aims to better understand the mechanism by which Citrus aurantium (C. aurantium) and Lavandula angustifolia (L. angustifolia) hydro–alcoholic extracts were used to treat AD and anti­–oxidant issues in a laboratory model.
Methods: 15 male Wistar rats, weighing 250±20 gr, aged 6–8 weeks, were used. Amyloids in the brain were found and identified using the shuttle box and Congo red test. ELISA testing for norepinephrine and serotonin, Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Malon-dialdehyde (MDA), and Real–time PCR for expression of the APP and GLT1 genes were done.
Results: The shuttle box test demonstrated that AD produces behavioral harm, since it significantly reduces passive avoidance learning. The Congo red test revealed that the AD models had much more amyloid beta in their brain tissue than the control. Norepinephrine levels were also decreased by using both extracts in test group. Treatment with both extracts led to a substantial rise in SOD activity and fall in MDA concentration.
Conclusion: The gene expression data indicated that the relative expression of the APP and GLT1 genes was shown to be lower in the groups treated with both extracts. C. aurantium and L. angustifolia may therefore offer a multi–target treatment strategy for AD, which calls for more research in this area.

Published: August 2023

Background: Cholera is an acute intestinal infection caused by Vibrio cholera (V. cholera). The development of antibodies against specific V. cholerae may have a therapeutic effect. In the present research, we investigated the protective effect of egg yolk Immunoglobulin (IgY), which was produced by immunizing hens with formaldehyde-killed V. cholerae O1 and subsequently the isolated IgY was orally administrated to the V. cholerae O1 infected mice for evaluation of its immunizing capability.
Methods: In the current study, hens were immunized three times with formaldehyde-killed V. cholerae O1 (1.5×107 CFU/ml) and an equal volume of adjuvant. The IgY was isolated from egg yolk by polyethylene glycol method. The validity and activity of isolated IgY were confirmed with SDS-PAGE and ELISA methods, respectively. Subsequently IgY was orally administered to suckling mice following challenge with V. cholerae O1. ELISA results showed high antibody titer in the serum and egg yolk. Also, SDS-PAGE analysis showed successful purification of IgY and anti-V. cholerae IgY prevented the death of mice infected with V. cholerae O1. The anti-V. cholera IgY was administered at 2, 4, 6 hr intervals after 3 hr of inoculation of mice with V. cholerae O1.
Results: Results showed that the rate of surviving mice (2 mg/ml of IgY) were 60% after 4 hr and 40% after 6 hr and the rate of surviving mice (5 mg/ml of IgY) was 70% after 4 hr and 60% after 6 hr.
Conclusion: The findings suggested the egg yolk-driven IgY as a natural antibacterial protein, could be effective in the prevention and treatment of cholera disease.

Published: August 2023

Background: There are many studies which strongly suggest that the pathophysiology of Temporomandibular joint Disorder (TMD) may also be influenced by genetic conditions. The current study was aimed to evaluate the hypothesis that the polymorphism of estrogen receptor genes, estrogen receptor 1 and 2 (ESR1 and ESR2), and the gene Catechol -O-Methyl-Transferase (COMT) could be Predisposing factor for TMD.
Methods: In this case-control study, blood sample were taken from 100 TMD diagnosed patients based on Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) and 103 healthy individuals as the control group. Tetra ARMS-PCR method was used to amplify and identify COMT rs4680, ESR1 rs1643821, and ESR2 rs1676303 gene polymorphism.
Results: ESR1 genotype AA and GA showed significantly increase probability (OR= 4.80, OR=2.98, respectively) of TMD. ESR2 T/T homozygosity was associated with decreased risk for TMD (OR=0.41). The relationship between COMT and TMD was not statistically significant (p>00.05). The relationship between the severity of TMD and ESR1 was significant (p=0.003). According to the inheritance pattern the COMT and ESR1 gene, in the dominant pattern can be susceptible to TMD and in ESR2 gene, in the recessive pattern can be protective to TMD.
Conclusion: It seems that SNPs of ESR1 rs1643821 has a susceptible role and ESR2 rs1676303 has a protective role against TMD. Also, we add evidences that various genotype of COMT rs4680 were not statistically different between case and control, but allele A in the dominant inherence pattern can be susceptible to TMD.

Transient processes in an active vibration isolation system with the vibroactive forces inertial compensator
Authors: Buryan Yu.A. , Shalai V.V. , Sitnikov D.V. , Buryan A.A.
Published: August 2023

Transient processes were analyzed in the automatic control system of the vibroactive forces electrodynamic compensator. Active vibration isolation system was considered, where a pneumatic spring based on the rubber-cord shell and the vibroactive forces electrodynamic compensator with a hydraulic inertial motion transducer were combined in a single construct. The paper shows that to ensure high efficiency of the vibration isolation, the gain in the electrodynamic compensator control circuit should be sufficiently large, but this leads to an increase in the transient process and the oscillation period duration. The proportional-integral controller could be introduced to reduce the oscillation index in the control system. However, the inertial mass oscillation center is shifting in the electrodynamic compensator in this case, which could lead to losses in its performance. An approach to solving this problem is proposed using the mechanism of averaging the measured current in the control coil and subtracting it from the current value, which makes it possible to eliminate the inertial mass shift while maintaining the transient process short duration, when a proportional-integral controller is included in the control circuit. It is shown that reducing the transient process period due to inclusion of the proportional-integral controller in the control circuit significantly increases the vibration isolation efficiency in the vibroactive forces non-stationary mode, for example, in the start-stop mode.

EDUCAÇÃO, MEMÓRIAS E CULTURA DIGITAL: reflexões para hoje e os próximos futuros
Authors: Kenski Vani Moreira
Published: August 2023

A complexidade e amplitude apresentadas pelo trinômio – educação, memórias e cultura digital – extrapolam os limites desta breve reflexão. A urgência de tratar do tema, no entanto, me encaminha para primeiras aproximações para melhor compreensão dessas relações na contemporaneidade e nos próximos futuros. O tema, ou melhor ainda, esses temas, unidos ou separados são relevantes. Eles me provocam e me fascinam de formas distintas há algum tempo. Diremos, décadas. Desde o início dos anos 90 do século passado tenho pesquisado e produzido publicações sobre as transformações ocasionadas pelas mídias nas relações entre memórias e educação. A memória individual é parte essencial do processo de educação que permeia todos os momentos de nossas vidas. Define nossos conhecimentos, lembranças, hábitos, paixões, valores e movimentos pessoais. Nossas escolhas em cada época são sempre mediadas pelas memórias que temos do que já vivemos, aprendemos e valorizamos, ou não. Escolas são instituições de memórias culturais, definidoras das nossas formações. Elas se pautam pelos valores, construções e práticas históricas e sociais características de cada época. Assim, o privilégio de acompanhar o progressivo e ágil processo desencadeado pela incorporação massiva dos meios digitais em nossas vidas e na sociedade, nos leva a considerar a urgente necessidade de compreender essa nova realidade em que a memória se articula com a cultura digital e a educação na atualidade e nos próximos futuros.

Governança global humanitária e linchamentos de gênero no Estado Brasileiro. Para essa investigação, que segue sendo implementada e é fomentada pela Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa e ao Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico do Maranhão (FAPEMA) e pelo Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPQ), elegeu-se o problema central: Em que consistem, como se relacionam e repercutem as diversas tensões, racionalidades e dispositivos de controle e dominação de corpos femininos nos casos de linchamentos de gênero ocorridos no Brasil pós-2016? A pesquisa faz abordagem predominantemente qualitativa, possui natureza exploratória e fará uso da triangulação de métodos, combinando procedimentos que permitam a compreensão da realidade, com prevalência do método crítico-dialético, rompendo com estruturas postas e observando as tensões nas diversas relações sociais permeadas por contradições que demarcam o fenômeno dos linchamentos de mulheres, com as suas circunstâncias veladas e reveladas na ótica da desigualdade de gênero. Portanto, o estudo dos linchamentos que vitimizam mulheres afigura-se como um contributo à literatura especializada para a compreensão do sacrifício de grupos vulneráveis, inovando a partir da escolha do critério para análise determinante, a saber a desigualdade de gênero, e expressão de processos históricos de dominação e de busca pela afirmação de direitos de mulheres.

Prostate cancer is the second most prominent form of cancer in men and confers the highest mortality after lung cancer. The term “extracellular vesicles” refers to minute endosomal-derived membrane microvesicles and it was demonstrated that extracellular vesicles affect the environment in which tumors originate. Extracellular vesicles’ involvement is also established in the development of drug resistance, angiogenesis, stemness, and radioresistance in various cancers including prostate cancer. Extracellular vesicles influence the general environment, processes, and growth of prostate cancer and can be a potential area that offers a significant lead in prostate cancer therapy. In this review, we have elaborated on the multifaceted role of extracellular vesicles in various processes involved in the development of prostate cancer, and their multitude of applications in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer through the encapsulation of various bioactives.

Bone cement is commonly utilized in a variety of orthopaedic procedures and contains methylmethacrylate (MMA) monomer. MMA is a colorless, clear, flammable liquid of intense odor. Its vapor concentration in the immediate breathing zone can vary considerably in the operative setting and, in higher concentrations, can become an occupational health hazard. Therefore, reducing MMA vapor is desirable. The aim of this study was to compare the MMA vapor levels emitted during mixing among 5 commercially available cement-mixing systems across 2 operative settings: an operating room (OR) with conventional ventilation (CV) and an OR with laminar airflow (LAF).

Methods:

A prospective, in vitro study was conducted at a single hospital in an OR with LAF and in an OR with CV. MMA vapor release during the cement preparation of a SAWBONES femoral canal was measured with use of a calibrated MiniRAE 3000. A total of 5 different vacuum cement-mixing systems were utilized to mix the same cement type according to the manufacturer instructions of each system. MMA vapor concentrations were measured during 5 phases of mixing, and each mixing system was randomly utilized 10 times in each OR.

Results:

When comparing the MMA concentration levels of each system between the 2 settings, emissions remained generally higher in the CV setting for every system and in nearly every phase. Among the 5 systems analyzed, System #5, the only entirely closed system, had the lowest overall emissions for each of the 5 phases in the CV setting.

Conclusions:

This study demonstrated that an operative environment with LAF is conducive to clearing the fumes of MMA during mixing as well as limiting the amount of time that residual fumes linger after mixing. Additionally, the entirely closed cement-mixing system was the most effective in minimizing fume levels within the CV setting. Utilizing this closed system, especially in an OR with CV, may reduce exposure to MMA fumes from bone cement, potentially creating a more favorable working environment.

Clinical Relevance:

This study provides evidence that a closed cement-mixing system utilized under vacuum in both an OR with CV and an OR with LAF is effective in keeping MMA fume levels below those considered harmful by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Introduction. The article presents the results of studies of hydrodynamic processes in the quarries of the Klinskoye deposit using methods for controlling them in rock masses. The Klinskoye deposit is planned to be developed by open pits: Klinskoye and Vostochny (hereinafter referred to as Klinskoye), which have a common surface contour, as well as Western, located 370 m north of Klinskoye. Materials and methods. The work was carried out using hydrodynamic, graph-analytical, hydraulic methods, as well as on the basis of probability theory and mathematical statistics. In rocks with pronounced fracturing, to determine the hydrogeological parameters, 5 hydrogeological wells were drilled, located in the direction of the prevailing fracturing and perpendicular to it. Results. It has been established that the main features and conditions of watering of the field are determined by the following factors: climatic conditions of the region; the amount and mode of precipitation and the intensity of evaporation; a complex system of multidirectional faults; features of aquifers; non-pressure regime of fissure-ground underground waters. Discussion. During the operation of the lower part of the section and the drainage of the zone of watered faults, most likely, the influence of drainage from the quarries of the Klinskoye deposit on the systems of domestic and drinking water supply of settlements, as well as the zone of sanitary protection of water supply sources, will not occur, due to the fact that the calculation was made for pressure fractures – veined groundwater of aquifers not used for these purposes. Conclusion. A set of studies has been carried out, including: analysis and generalization of scientific and technical information in the areas of predicting the stability of quarry walls and sloping soil structures, methods for monitoring the state and properties of a rock mass; monitoring of geo-mechanical and hydrodynamic processes in techno-genic soil mass. Resume. Based on the data obtained during pumping, the hydrogeological parameters were determined: filtration coefficients and water conductivity. Suggestions for practical application and direction for future research. The research results can be useful in a comprehensive assessment of hydrodynamic processes in quarries using methods for managing them in rock masses.

Objective: Nasopharyngealadenoid cystic carcinoma (NACC) is a rare malignancy with special biological features. Controversies exist regarding the treatment approach and prognosticfactors in the IMRT era. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes and management approaches in NACC.
Methods: Fiftypatients with NACC at our institution between 2010 and 2020 were reviewed. Sixteenpatients received primary radiotherapy (RT), and 34 patients underwent primary surgery.
Results: Between January 2010 and October 2020, a total of 50 patients with pathologically proven NACC were included in our analysis. The median follow-up time was58.5 months (range: 6.0–151.0 months). The 5-year overall survival rate (OS) and progression-free survival rate (PFS) were 83.9% and 67.5%, respectively. The 5-year OS ratesof patients whose primary treatment was surgery and RT were 90.0% and 67.3%, respectively (log-rank P =0.028). The 5-year PFS rates of patients whose primary treatment was surgery or RT were 80.8% and 40.7%, respectively(log-rank P= 0.024). Multivariate analyses showed that nerve invasion and the pattern of primary treatment were independent factors associated with PFS.
Conclusions: Due to the relative insensitivity to radiation, primary surgery seemed to provide a better chance of disease control and improved survival in NACC. Meanwhile, postoperativeradiotherapy should be performed for advanced stage or residual tumours. Cranial nerveinvasion and treatment pattern might be important factors affecting the prognosis of patients with NACC.

In this study a front surface spray water cooling system with a zigzag pattern was experimentally and theoretically designed and investigated. Since the effectiveness of any photovoltaic panels can be adversely affected by various weather-related conditions such as solar radiation intensity, ambient temperature and dust accumulation, and the temperature and rate of flow of water that is used for cooling. ANSYS Fluent was utilized to predict the effects of the proposed system on photovoltaic (PV) power production. The findings indicated that the proposed system, when operating at a rate of 5 L/min water, enhanced efficiency of PV by 20.25%, whilst providing a pristine and dust-free surface. The simulation results indicated that the solar radiation is mostly affecting parameter in increasing the power production with implementation of water-cooling system, upon an increase of 100 watt/m2 in solar radiation, the PV power production augmented by 16.6%. Furthermore, decreasing the water inlet temperature by 5°C with a 5 L/min volume flow rate resulted in an increase in panel power production by 2.25%. Though, the ambient temperature has a slight influence on PV power production at all water volume flow rates.
