Using micro spheres as reference artifacts for the in-situ characterization of tactile 3D micro probes along the probing sphere’s equator
Authors: Oertel Erik , Manske Eberhard
Published: March 2024

Nano and micro coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) have been developed for the characterization of small dimensional features. They require a procedure which enables a traceable and precise characterization of probing spheres. In this contribution we explore the use of well characterized micro spheres as reference artifacts for the in-situ characterization of probing spheres along the probing sphere’s equator. The spheres are characterized using a strategy which is based on a set of tactile surface scans in conjunction with a stitching-algorithm. These micro spheres serve as a reference for the in-situ characterization of a tactile 3D micro probe on a nano measuring machine (NMM-1). Our investigations are based on a sample of eight spheres sourced from two different suppliers. Although the sample is small, we could already observe characteristics which seem to be typical for spheres of a certain type (i.e. nominal radius and material). The experiments indicate that micro spheres are a suitable reference artifact for tactile 3D micro probes. We were able to reproduce the measured mean radius of the probing sphere with a standard deviation of 31 nm using reference spheres whose nominal radius covers a range of 89 µm (61 µm up to 150 µm).
Afterword: Running with the Metaphor of Social Invisibility
Authors: Peeren Esther
Published: March 2024

In this afterword, I reflect on the contributions gathered in this special issue, which make clear that social invisibility is multivalent, as visibility, invisibility, and the oscillation between them have different meanings and effects in different social and literary contexts. To the points made about social invisibility in the contributions, I add three more. First, after considering social disappearance as a possible alternative to social invisibility, I conclude that the lack of clear boundaries between these two highly elastic metaphors should not be seen as a problem, but as fruitful: running with both metaphors allows us to arrive at a better understanding of the lives led by particular precaritized groups, and to compare these lives across historical and cultural contexts, as well as across approaches and methods. Second, while social invisibility and social disappearance have predominantly been used to figure disempowerment, it should be acknowledged that escaping notice can also empower. A brief reading of Don DeLillo’s Cosmopolis illustrates the power self-chosen invisibility may impart to the privileged. Third, I argue that humanities approaches to fictionality and narrative and visual form, as found across different types of art and media, provide ways of thinking through social invisibility that add something valuable to empirical and ethnographic approaches in the social sciences. The main reason for this is that narrative and visual form can defamiliarize our perception of the social world, enabling us to notice again or notice differently what has become unremarkable.

The formation and development of diabetic retinopathy in conditions of myopization of the eyeball is accompanied by the features of the clinical picture of retinopathy. With myopia, the incidence of especially proliferative retinopathy, as well as the rate of progression of these diabetic changes in the retina, can be reduced. The aim of our work was a comparative study of the ultrastructure of the neurosensory elements of the retina in rats in the simulation of streptozotocin-induced diabetes and deprivation axial myopia. Experiments were performed on rats aged from 2 to 10 weeks, which were divided into 4 groups. The 1st control group included intact animals, the 2nd - with myopia, the 3rd - with diabetes; the 4th - with myopia and diabetes. Two-week-old rats were modeled with a high degree of axial myopia by blepharorrhaphy of both eyes and exposure to low light for another 2 weeks. In rats with axial myopia and intact rats, streptozotocin-induced diabetes was modeled by repeated intraperitoneal administration of subdiabetic doses of streptozotocin (15.0 mg/kg body weight) for 5 days. After 2 months, all animals were removed from the experiment under anesthesia and their eyes were enucleated. The tissue samples were photographed in a PEM-100-01 electron microscope and the ultrastructure of the neurosensory elements of the retina was studied. The obtained results of the study indicate that ultrastructural retinal neurosensory elements differed in different groups. When modeling diabetes against the background of axial myopia, some areas with signs of hydropic dystrophy with large fields of organelle destruction were observed in the cells of the inner layers of the retina, mainly in the inner nuclear layer, which is inherent in diabetes, but there were also areas whose ultrastructure was close to normal. This indicates that the process of myopization of the eyeball of rats with the lengthening of the anterior-posterior axis can mitigate the severity of ultrastructural changes of the retina in the simulation of diabetic retinopathy.

The study is aimed at investigating the impact of exogenous melatonin and quercetin on indices of systemic inflammatory response and indicators of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in the blood serum of male rats exposed to round-the-clock lighting (RCL) with 1500 lx intensity during the last 30 days of being kept on a 60 day high-calorie carbohydrate-lipid diet (HCCLD, 20% fructose solution and the proper chow). The study has demonstrated that the restoration of serum melatonin concentration in rats by its exogenous administration during the RCL exposure and keeping them on HCCLD did not fully correct the indicators of the systemic inflammatory response such as the content of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and C-reactive protein (CRP), as well as indices of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism such as concentration of insulin, highdensity lipoprotein (HDL), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and triglycerides, HOMA-IR insulin resistance index. The administration of quercetin under the experimental conditions was accompanied by a significant increase in the serum melatonin concentration (by 85.9%), a decrease in the content of TNF-α (by 53.9%), CRP (by 54.4%), glucose (by 49.2%), insulin (by 49.6%), VLDL (by 49, 2%) and triglycerides (by 49.3%), and an increase in HDL concentration (by twofold), but these indicators (with the exception of the HOMA-IR index, which decreased by 62.4%) did not reach the values of the intact group. The combined effect of melatonin and quercetin under RCL exposure and HLLD significantly improved the indicators of systemic inflammatory response, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism that is confirmed by a more significant decrease in serum levels of TNF-α, CRP, insulin, VLDL and triglycerides, an increase in HDL concentration, and a decrease in the HOMA-IR index compared with the separate use of melatonin and quercetin.

The choice of solution for the initial infusion therapy to restore the volume of circulating blood (CBV) has been a subject of debate for many years. The purpose of our study was to compare the effect of different routes of administration of infusion solutions on CBV. The study was conducted on 250 rats weighing 200-260 g and aged 3-4 months. Animals were born from different females. The dynamics of the neutral red concentration in the gastric perfusate were measured using a 0.9% sodium chloride solution and a 10% albumin solution, which were administered in three different ways. It was established that the intravenous administration of a 0.9% sodium chloride solution at the 60th minute of the experiment reduced the concentration of an aqueous solution of neutral red in the gastric perfusate by 35%, and a 10% albumin solution by 22% compared to the control. This indicates an increase in CBV. When a 0.9% solution of sodium chloride was administered intraosseously, the concentration of an aqueous solution of neutral red significantly decreased by 33% at the 45th minute and by 44% at the 60th minute. On the other hand, under the influence of 10% albumin solution, CBV decreased by 22% at the 45th minute and by 41% at the 60th minute, but not significantly compared to the control. Therefore, the use of these solutions causes an increase in CBV in experimental animals both when administered intravenously and intraosseously, that is, it has similar hemodynamic effects. The retroperitoneal route of administration did not affect CBV changes.

Investigation of the mechanism of neuronal communication underlies the fundamental discoveries that promote health. The studies of oxytocin signaling in neurons from or within different brain areas are directed to explore the role of this neurohormonal modulator in the regulation of synaptic transmission and plasticity, neuronal excitability that contributes to the reproduction, social behavior and learning capacity, anxiety, inflammation and differentiation in the brain. Oxytocin is synthesized in supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus and when secreted into the bloodstream from the posterior pituitary, it produces a significant effect on uterine contraction and lactation. At the same time this nonapeptide being released within the limbic system and brain cortex modulates neuronal activity by affecting ion channels on their membranes. The oxytocin receptor is primarily coupled to Gq/11 proteins causing phospholipase C activation, Ca2+ release and store-operated Ca2+ entry. These pathways are central for the regulation of the activity of different types of TRP channels, especially of the canonical subfamily (TRPC). Here we highlight the link between oxytocin signaling, which is particularly well investigated in the myometrium, and receptor-operated TRPC4 and multimodal TRPV4 ion channels that participate in oxytocin-dependent regulation of the uterine smooth muscle contractility under various conditions. Importantly, similarly to oxytocin, these channels have been implicated in neuropathic pain behavior, anxiety, fear and depression. Since similar signal transduction pathways are likely to be functional in neuronal cells, we propose that future studies of oxytocin effects in the CNS should also consider the role of these Ca2+-permeable channels.

Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da inoculação com rizóbios associado à adubação nitrogenada sobre o crescimento e produtividade de cultivares de feijão-caupi. O experimento foi conduzido no campus experimental, onde foram testados dois isolados nativos e a estirpe BR3262 (recomendada para cultura) acrescidos de adubação nitrogenada (30,60 e 90 kg ha-1de N) e um controle sem adubação e inoculação e  duas cultivares de feijão-caupi (BRS Guariba e Novaera). O delineamento experimental empregado foi em blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições, em esquema fatorial triplo (4 x 4 x 2). No florescimento, foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros: Altura de plantas, diâmetro do colmo, massa seca de parte aérea, Índice SPAD e número de nódulos. Na colheita foram coletados dados dos componentes de produção: Número de vagens por planta, comprimento de vagem, número de sementes por vagem, massa de 100 grãos e produtividade. A inoculação com as estirpes de rizóbios favorecem a redução da adubação nitrogenada, resultando em incrementos no crescimento e produção da planta. O isolado nativo UESB R5 promoveu o maior lucro final e redução de gastos com adubação nitrogenada, nas duas cultivares.
Net-zero produced water strategy on gas production in marine gas hydrate bearing sediment
Authors: Yu Shuman , Uchida Shun
Published: March 2024

Gas hydrates, commonly found in deep marine sediments, have been considered a potential long-term energy source. Recent field trials demonstrated that well depressurisation, converting solid gas hydrates into fluid in situ, is the most efficient method for gas production. However, this process involves continuously pumping a large volume of water from the ocean that cannot be simply disposed of due to environmental concerns. The produced water, with temperature, salinity and residues different from those of shallower seawater, could impact marine species, habitats and ecosystems if directly discharged into the sea. Storing or transporting this water for treatment is economically impractical. Furthermore, as hydrate dissociation increases sediment permeability, water production rates rise over time. Therefore, re-injecting produced water into gas hydrate reservoirs emerges as a promising net-zero produced water strategy. This study investigates the effects of produced water re-injection on gas productivity and sediment deformation through coupled thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical numerical analysis. The results indicate that re-injecting the water could improve gas productivity but may cause heave and differential displacement near the injection well. This highlights the importance of considering thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical processes in comprehensively evaluating energy production strategies and suggests that further studies are necessary for future commercial gas production from gas hydrate reservoirs.
Mettre en mots un phénomène impensé en conditions extrêmes à Mayotte

Mettre en mots une catastrophe naturelle telle l’aléa sismique est un sujet abordé en situation éducative partout dans le monde. Mais certaines sociétés épargnées par ces aléas n’ont pour tradition ni d’en parler, ni de les comprendre, encore moins de les transmettre. Tel est le cas pour Mayotte (océan Indien) qui a subi un essaim de séismes à partir de mai 2018, à la faveur de l’émergence d’un volcan sous-marin. En milieu linguistique multilingue, les habitants ont été confrontés au défi de communiquer en plusieurs langues sur cet événement inconnu suscitant la peur et l’incompréhension. Il était question de s’adapter linguistiquement pour survivre dans une condition représentationnelle quasi extrêmophile. A travers deux corpus de données longitudinales, ce chapitre explore la manière dont les Mahorais 1) mettent en mots en langues locales ce phénomène inédit et 2) s’approprient le discours scientifique et émotionnel à propos de la crise. Un corpus oral en Shimaore (journal du soir ; N = 13.700 mots) et un corpus écrit en Kibushi (bulletin scientifique simplifié ; N’= 2.846 mots) se focalisent sur la manière dont les connaissances traditionnelles et les discours scientifiques sont appropriés, traduits et transformés (Eco, 2007) en langue locale.

Published: March 2024

To address inconsistencies in prior research, this meta-analysis examines the potential link between serum copeptin levels and the risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Previous studies have reported mixed results regarding the relationship between serum copeptin levels and GDM risk. Our objective was to comprehensively evaluate this association. We systematically reviewed observational studies from Medline, Web of Science, Embase, Wanfang, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases up to October 15, 2023, employing a random-effects model to integrate the data while considering heterogeneity. This analysis incorporated 10 studies comprising 625 women with GDM and 1212 healthy pregnant controls. Our findings showed no significant difference in serum copeptin levels between women with GDM and those without (standardized mean difference [SMD] 0.01, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.22 to 0.24, P = 0.92, I2 = 75%). Univariate meta-analysis indicated a positive correlation between the body mass index (BMI) of the participants and the outcomes (coefficient = 0.11, P = 0.002). Further subgroup analysis demonstrated that women with a mean BMI ≥ 26 kg/m2 and GDM had significantly higher serum copeptin levels compared to their non-GDM counterparts (SMD 0.31, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.57, P = 0.02, I2 = 46%). Conversely, no difference was observed in women with a BMI < 26 kg/m2 (SMD -0.23, 95% CI -0.37 to -0.09, P = 0.002, I2 = 0%, P for subgroup difference = 0.003). Variables such as the country of study, maternal age, timing of blood sampling, copeptin measurement methods, or GDM diagnostic criteria did not significantly affect the results. In summary, the association between serum copeptin levels and GDM risk is influenced by the BMI of pregnant women, indicating that elevated serum copeptin might be linked to GDM in individuals with a BMI ≥ 26 kg/m2.

This protocols is part of the ANU Biosecurity mini-research project #1 "Plant Pathogen Diagnostics: Visuals, subcultures, and genomics". You will be provided four pots of 3-4 week old wheat plants that have been infected with different wheat pathogens. Each pot has been infected with one major pathogen. You will not know which pot has been infected with which pathogen. However, you will be provided a compendium of 10-15 wheat pathogens that will guide you to identify the infective agent for each treatment group. The fifth treatment group will be uninfected wheat plants which will be clearly identified. You can use treatment group #5 as negative control for your experiments. In total, each group will obtain five pots each: This specific protocol describes the molecular biology and a step-by-step guide for rapid barcoding of total native DNA extracted from the five treatment groups followed by Nanopore sequencing. We will perform sequencing of all five native DNA samples from three research groups to enable us to have three independent replicates per sample. Replications make our observation and analyses more robust. Total native DNA contains all the DNA extracted from your leaf material plus any contamination that was part of the extraction process. We did not include a negative extraction control this time round. We will select the samples of three research groups based on their quality control values such as DNA concentration and DNA size measured by gel electrophoresis. Most of the class need not be present for these library preparations [Step 1-3] but will join in for loading the final library and starting sequencing runs. We will also explain more about the theory during the lab. This protocol is applicable for week 6. Conceptual overview: Bring all DNA samples to same concentration and same volume. Barcode individual samples with transposase loaded with specific DNA barcodes. Pool all samples and clean up with magnetic beads.

Published: March 2024

The essence of independent Playing in the context of early childhood education is to provide meaningful play experiences so that they get the opportunity to explore their environment, solve problems, and become leaders in the learning process. One of the efforts to realize the freedom of play is to develop student agency in the child. Student agency is a child's competence to determine his learning process through expressing ideas and opinions, making choices, and making decisions to create a sense of ownership for what he does. This study aims to analyze the development of student agency which is packaged in a school program, namely the Aksi Pasukan HEPI at the TK Negeri Pembina, Subang Regency. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach, with data collection being observation, interviews, and documentation. The result of the research is that the Aksi Pasukan HEPI program can develop early childhood student agency, by empowering all assets owned by the school and its environment.

Authors: Jaswandi Lathiffida Noor , Kurniawati Farida
Published: March 2024

Efforts to foster acceptance of children with disabilities can be done by providing knowledge about disabilities through picture storybooks. Unfortunately, researchers have not found picture storybooks about disability in Indonesia that are aimed at kindergarten-age children, so this study aims to test the effectiveness of picture storybooks in increasing knowledge about disability in children aged 5-6 years. This research is a quasi-experimental study with mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative). The intervention was carried out by reading two picture story books, each read three times. Participants in this study were 28 non-disabled children aged 5-6 years and attending inclusive kindergartens. The measuring tool used is the achievement test to measure the increase in knowledge from the information provided. Quantitative results found an increase in knowledge about disability in non-disabled children aged 5-6 years. In addition, the qualitative results show that children can identify the characteristics of disabilities in the story content and are able to relate them to information that children already have. The implication is that teachers and parents can use picture storybooks to introduce disabilities to children aged 5-6 years in Inclusive Kindergarten.

The main characteristics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) lay on the ability to communicate and interact with others. Meanwhile, communication and interaction are highly related to the ability to understand language and ability to convey information. This qualitative study was conducted to identify the language ability of adolescent students with ASD receptively and expressively. Data were collected at seven junior and senior special high schools through assessments using the instruments of Deteksi Dini Gangguan Kemampuan Berbahasa (DDGKB) and Pemahaman Bahasa Secara Auditori (PBSA). 45 students consisting of 37 boys and 8 girls with their age ranging from 11 to 19 years old were assessed using the instruments. The collected data were then analysed by comparing the data to the language development milestones and indicators of receptive and expressive ability from the Education Ministry. Results show the number of male autistic students is greater than the number of female students. Around 13% or 6 out of 45 teenage autistic students already have receptive and expressive language skills over the mental age of 5 years. Meanwhile, 5. 87% or 39 students still have receptive and expressive abilities under the mental age of 5 years.

Published: March 2024

Children with physical disability often face stereotypes and stigmatization that affect society's perception of their abilities and potential. The aim of this research is to investigate the stereotypes experienced by children with physically handicapped, find out where the source of these stereotypes comes from, how they impact children, and what efforts have been made to reduce these stereotypes. This article uses a literature review method to explore the dimensions of these stereotypes, including their sources, their impact, and efforts to reduce them. The results show that stereotypes stem from assumptions about physical and intellectual disabilities, which are reflected in the media, personal experiences, and a general lack of understanding. These stereotypes can negatively impact children's psychological, emotional, and social well-being, and limit their participation in social activities. Efforts to reduce stereotypes through community education, family support, and inclusive approaches in schools are needed to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for children with motor disabilities. In conclusion, raising public awareness and ensuring the adaptation of individuals with disabilities in social life are key steps to prevent stigmatization.
