The Battle for the Sexual Heritage of Our Children and Youth: The Slippery Slope from Transgenderism to Transhumanism
Authors:   CICA Internation, CICAInternational Foundation, International University of Professional Studies, Spain, Lindhard Tina
Published: December 2024

The transgender movement, better termed the transgender industry, is just the tip of the iceberg to a much bigger agenda where reproduction without copulation or gestation may be the norm as well as serving the political groundwork for the burgeoning rights discourse surrounding the transhumanism movement, which embraces that idea of self-directed human evolution using technology to transcend their current natural state and limitations, i.e. disease, ageing, and even death. The ideology behind the transgender movement can be traced to the objectives specified in the manifestos of the Humanist Association, which, according to this author, also provides the basis for transhumanism. Transgenderism, framed as a human rights movement, promotes the idea that children have the right to change their minds, try out new styles and express themselves. However, this is a cover-up by a vast new industry to win the battle of the minds of innocent children to select to change their sexual heritage using dangerous drugs and mutilate their bodies by removing body parts according to their ‘sexual’ whim. This movement is a prelude to the transhumanism movement as self-selecting to be sterilized through the mutilation of one’s biological sex opens society to ethically loaded issues like hiring mothers, artificial wombs and the selection of sperm and ovaries used to produce the next generation. Transgender individuals, therefore, also play into the hands of the eugenics movement aimed at selective breeding and restraining population growth. Among other issues, this article explores the history, problems, players, and implications of transgenderism. It also opens the debate between novelty as progressive and hereditary as congenital or inbred. Living according to our sexual orientation does not mean we have to mutilate our bodies or deconstruct our inherent biological identity; our gender preference can also change over time. In conclusion, I suggest that we must explore and discover our spiritual nature and the spiritual underpinning of reality to protect our children and create a society that lives in harmony with each other and Nature, including our given inherent nature.

A scaling methodology for the Hybrid-Lambda Rotor – Characterization and validation in wind tunnel experiments
Authors: Ribnitzky Daniel , Petrovic Vlaho , Kühn Martin
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The Hybrid-Lambda Rotor is an aerodynamic rotor concept that enables very low-specific-rating offshore wind turbines in order to increase the power output in light winds and to limit the loads on the very long and slender rotor blades in strong winds. In this paper, the rotor concept is scaled to wind tunnel size and validated under reproducible inflow conditions. The objectives are to derive a scaling methodology, to investigate the influence of the steep gradients of axial induction along the blade span and to characterize the wake of the Hybrid-Lambda Rotor in wind tunnel experiments. The scaling objectives are to match the axial induction distribution and to incorporate the change in the angle of attack distribution when switching between the light-wind and strong-wind operating mode. The derived model rotor with a diameter of 1.8 m is experimentally investigated and compared to a conventional model wind turbine in the large turbulent wind tunnel in Oldenburg under tailored inflow conditions produced with an active grid. A two-dimensional Laser-Doppler-Anemometer is used to measure the axial induction in the rotor plane and the wake is characterised by means of a hot-wire rig. The measurement data is supplemented with free-vortex-wake simulations on both rotors. The results demonstrate that switching the operating modes with the characteristic change in the angle of attack distribution, works similar for the model and the full-scale turbine. The strong gradients of axial induction along the blade span lead to complex three-dimensional flow structures such as an increased radial flow component in the rotor plane. The low-induction design of the outer part of the rotor reduces the load overshoots in gust events compared to the conventional model turbine. The wake characterization reveals an outer annulus with reduced wake deficits, an additional shear layer and vortex system and overall reduced wake deficits over a wide range of wind speeds below rated power. The derived results help to understand the unique flow patterns that are introduced by the Hybrid-Lambda Rotor and provide a valuable complementary data set to the simulations on the full-scale rotor.

Iodine has an anti-proliferative effect on cancer cells; however, its effects have not been explored adequately. The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic potential of iodine and radioiodine by assessing their effects on the viability of various breast cancer cell lines: MCF7, SKBR3, and MDA-MB231. The viability of cells was measured in treated cells exposed to six doses of iodine (5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 µM) and two doses of radioiodine (3.7×104 and 3.7×105 Bq). A 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and modified clonogenic assays were used to assess cell viability. Exposure to 80 µM of iodine significantly reduced the viability of all cell types. The cells were then exposed to a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) dose. When the cells were exposed to the IC50 dose of iodine, the MCF7 cell viability was reduced by 42.6±0.14% (IC50 dose 12.88 µM), 40.2±0.08% for SKBR3 (IC50 dose 11.03 µM) and 47.0±0.02% for MDA-MB231 (IC50 dose 14.09 µM). All cells were also exposed to 3.7×104 Bq and 3.7×105 Bq radioiodine. Both doses significantly reduced the cell viability of MCF7 and SKBR3 cells compared to the unexposed control cells (all had p<0.05), while MDA-MB231 cell viability only reduced significantly after 3.7×105 Bq of radioiodine exposure compared to the unexposed control cells (p<0.05). This study highlighted that iodine had a toxic effect on breast cancer cells, and radioiodine enhanced the toxicity to breast cancer cells. The types of cancer cells and doses of iodine and radioiodine influenced the effect. These findings suggest that iodine and radioiodine hold promise as therapeutic agents for breast cancer, similar to their established use in thyroid disease treatment. However, further in vivo studies are important to provide more evidence.
Integrating epigenetic modification and stem cell therapy strategies: A novel approach for advancing Alzheimer’s disease treatment − A literature review
Authors: Widaja Edhijanto , Pawitan Jeanne A.
Published: December 2024

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most frequent form of dementia and represents an increasing global burden, particularly in countries like Indonesia, where the population has begun to age significantly. Current medications, including cholinesterase inhibitors and NMDA receptor antagonists, have modest effects on clinical symptoms in the early to middle stages, but there is no curative treatment available so far despite progress. Activating or repressing epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation, histone modification and microRNA regulation, appears to play an important role in AD development. These alterations further enact transcriptional changes relevant to the signature AD pathologies of amyloid-β deposition, tau protein malfunctioning, neuroinflammation, and neuronal death. Here, we discuss the feasibility of targeting these epigenetic alterations as a new treatment strategy due to the reversibility of epigenetics and their ability to correct faulty gene expression. We also review the combined promise of stem cell therapies and epigenetic modulation in neurodegeneration, inflammation and cognitive decline. This combined approach may provide a multifaceted strategy to slow disease progression, replace lost neurons, and restore neural function. Despite challenges, including ethical, financial, and methodological barriers, ongoing research in epigenetic modulation and stem cell therapy holds promise for pioneering therapies in AD.

Published: December 2024

Во введении обсуждены биотопические предпочтения сороки и их изменение за последнее столетие, связанные с синурбизацией данного вида в условиях Беларуси. В настоящее время большая часть популяции сороки в стране гнездится в населенных пунктах, преимущественно в городах. С учетом
отсутствия сведений о характере адаптационных изменений у сороки при внедрении в урболандшафт, целью данного исследования явился анализ данных по гнездовой биологии «дикой» популяции сороки, гнездящейся в естественных местообитаниях и агроландшафте. В основной части проанализированы отдельные параметры гнездования сороки в данных типах биотопов. Данные по 226 гнездам сороки были получены в период 1977–2019 гг. Установлено, что при выборе мест для размещения гнезда сорока
использовала 15 видов деревьев и кустарников. Большинство гнезд располагалось на ивах (Salix sp.)
в обоих типах местообитаний, однако в агроландшафте количество древесно-кустарниковых пород было значительно больше. В высоте расположения гнезд (варьировала от 0,5 до 10,0 м) в разнотипных местообитаниях различий выявлено не было. В среднем она составила 3,2 ± 1,5 м. Более 45,0 % всех
гнездящихся пар сорок приступали к откладке яиц во второй декаде апреля, и почти 35,0 % – в третьей. В полной кладке содержалось от 4 до 9 яиц, а 70,6 % всех гнезд – от 7 до 8 яиц. Средний размер кладки яиц у птиц в агроландшафте (7,5 ± 0,9 яйца) был достоверно выше, чем у птиц в естественных местообитаниях (7,1 ± 1,2 яйца). Достоверных различий в размерах яиц сороки, гнездящихся в разнотипных местообитаниях, не выявлено. Практически все зарегистрированные случаи потери кладок яиц или птенцов в результате хищничества приходятся на агроландшафт. Выявленные изменения в гнездовой биологии сороки обсуждаются в связи с внедрением данного вида на антропогенно измененные территории. Полученные данные имеют важное общетеоретическое значение и необходимы для выработки мер по управлению популяцией сороки в населенных пунктах.

Manipulation of the Sun’s Look Angles Using Linear Equation to Develop Fuzzy Logic Rules for Dual-Axes Solar Tracking system
Authors: Motlatsi Cletus Lehloka
Published: December 2024

Increasing the energy production of solar array systems is crucial, but increasing the time duration during which the energy collected is even more critical. As solar energy becomes more mainstream, installers and enthusiasts must find new methods to maximize its potential. Solar tracking systems, along with cutting-edge innovation, increase energy capture and efficiency. Due to its ability to move panels on both horizontal and vertical axes, dual-axes solar tracking systems enable better energy optimization. The purpose of this paper is to present the manipulation of the sun’s look (or lookout) angles in order to develop fuzzy logic rules for dual-axes solar tracking system for optimization. The look angles for the summer season were obtained from the solar elevation angle calculator, which is an online application that is used to calculate the solar angles. The linear equation was used to manipulate the look angles of the sun for the day from which the fuzzy logic rule set was derived. Results indicated system’s accuracy and more power harvesting for the fuzzy logic look angles-based tracking system. The study was conducted only in the summer season, and since the other seasons have lower levels of solar radiation, it is crucial to test the findings for those times of year.
Electrical and Optical Studies of Polymer Electrolyte (PVA+KI) Films Doped with CuO Nanofillers
Authors: Ashish Raj
Published: December 2024

In this study, we investigate the impact of copper oxide (CuO) nanofillers on the electrical and structural properties of polymer composite electrolyte films. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and Potassium iodide (KI) were chosen for the polymer electrolyte and nano-CuO was synthesized and used as nano-filler in the PVA-KI matrix. PVA-KI films are doped with varying concentrations of CuO nanoparticles to explore their influence on the film's conductivity, dielectric behaviour, and optical transmittance. Electrical measurements reveal that the addition of CuO nanofillers significantly enhances the ionic conductivity of the PVA-KI matrix. The conductivity increases with the concentration of CuO up to an optimal doping level, beyond which it decreases, likely due to agglomeration of nanoparticles. The dielectric constant and loss tangent also show a notable dependence on the CuO content, reflecting improved charge transport and polarization effects within the films. The combined electrical and optical data suggest that CuO nanofillers can be effectively utilized to tailor the properties of PVA-KI polymer electrolytes for various applications, including energy storage and optoelectronic devices. These findings provide insights into the mechanisms of ion conduction and light interaction in doped polymer systems, paving the way for further research and optimization of functional polymer-based materials.

Os atuais desafios biotecnológicos estão relacionados com a busca de novos produtos ou processos que aprimorem ou sanem problemas existentes nas indústrias alimentícias, energéticas e farmacológicas. Uma dessas problemáticas envolve a produção de biocombustíveis de 2º geração, que apesar de promissores, apresentam algumas limitações. Os moluscos da família Teredinidae, conhecidos como vermes perfuradores de madeira, estão presentes nas regiões marítimas e nas regiões de mangue e contam com o auxílio de sua complexa microbiota associada a qual realizam a degradação de polissacarídeos complexos e lenhosos. A Teredinibacter turnerae é uma das principais bactérias responsáveis por essa atividade metabólica e estão alojadas na região das brânquias do molusco. Com base nas informações levantadas em artigos, dissertações e teses, foi conduzido uma investigação bibliográfica a fim de investigar o potencial para o aprimoramento do atual processo que permite o reaproveitamento dos resíduos do setor sucroalcooleiro, assim revolucionado o processo brasileiro de obtenção de energia. Denotou-se, portanto, o grande potencial gnômico da T. turnerae em processos que necessitam da quebra da celulose. Entretanto, observou-se também a participação de outros protagonistas que favorecem ou potencializam esta resposta metabólica secundária.

The main aim of the work was to study the behavior of some seedless grapevine varieties (Apiren negru de Grozești, Apiren roz and Apiren basarabean) to various pruning methods – at 2+3-4 and 2+7-8 buds, also the reaction of each variety to the norming of inflorescences/grapes. The parameters characterizing the production and quality of grapes were determined: the average weight of a grape, the yield per plant and hectare, the sugar and titratable acidity content of the must. The results are generalized over three years of study (2019–2021) and, from a statistical point of view, a significant influence of the climatic conditions of the years on the values of the studied characters was found. The significant difference between the variants on pruning length was found only in the accumulation of sugar content for the Apiren roz variety and insignificant in the rest of the characters.

The article presents the processing of experimental drying curves, obtained in different regimes of convective drying of pumpkin (temperature 50–100 ºC; air velosity 1.3–4.1 m/s). The individual drying curves in the form of a generalized dependence in the coordinates (U–Ue)/(Ucr1 –Ue) – N τ /( UcrI –Ue) are presented, and the 2nd critical point at a moisture content of 2.0 g/g s.u. in the period of decreasing the drying velocity, was identified. Mathematical models were obtained to express the generalized drying curves in two ranges of the moislegumicultură ture content (6,9–2,0) and (2,0–0,1) g/g s.u., also a very high degree of compliance with the experimental data was detected. The influence of special processing before drying (blanching, blanching + spraying with a cornstarch suspension), the packaging medium (air, carbon dioxide, nitrogen) and the storage duration on the carotene content of gradually dried pumpkin samples, so that the product temperature did not exceed 66 ºC, was studied.

Introduction. The present work was carried out with the aim of dental caries risk assessment in children with congenital heart defects (CHD). Material and methods: a case-control clinical study was performed on a sample of 76 children divided into 2 groups identical in structure. The research group consisted of 38 children with CHD aged between 7 and 18 years (L1). The control group (L0) consisted of 38 healthy children. Cariogram software was applied to assess the risk of developing dental caries (DC). Results: the caries risk was 20.72% higher in CHD subjects compared to L0 children. The main caries risk factors identified in L1 children were: the impact of congenital cardiac pathology and its medication, including decreased oral fluid flow due to diuretic preparations; unsatisfactory oral hygiene; Streptococcus mutans number in saliva >5x105 CFU/ml and lack of implementation of preventive measures. Conclusions: personalized prediction of DC in children with CHD is important for the development of effective methods to prevent Streptococcus mutans invasion of the blood stream and ultimately the endothelium of cardiac tissues.

Published: December 2024

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common inherited diseases what shortens life expectancy in European countries (1 in 3.500 children) (Southern et al., 2007). The disease is characterized by a systemic lesion of exocrine glands, both mucus-forming: glands of the respiratory tract, intestine, pancreas and serous glands: salivary, sweat, lacrimal and requires treatment throughout the life of the patient (С.В.Рачинский, Н.И.Капранов, 1990). A broad evidence base confirms the negative impact of chemical and metabolic disorders accompanying diseases and pathological conditions on the state of oral organs and tissues. Watersalt metabolism disorders, salivary glands lesions, long courses of antibacterial, hormonal and enzyme therapy in cystic fibrosis affect the dental health of these patients. Exfoliative and angular cheilitis, oral mucosal candidiasis, xerostomia and haemorrhages on the oral mucosa have been observed in CF patients. A number of CF patients have a combination of several signs of tongue pathology; non-carious lesions of hard tissues of teeth and periodontal diseases are widespread. Although the dento-facial system is also involved to a greater or lesser extent in the pathologic process in CF, few studies have been devoted to the study of the dental status of these patients.

This study describes the multifaceted experiences of children with cancer and their parents throughout the cancer trajectory. Being a mixed method study it explores both the quantitative and qualitative aspects from children and parents point of view in a selected oncology hospital. For this research, the researcher did purposive sampling of 50 children with cancer and 50 parents of children with cancer from January 2024-June 2024. Children with first time diagnosis of Cancer (0-3 months of diagnosis) and (4-7 months of diagnosis) in two cohorts aged 12-18 years, admitted in the ward or coming to day care were selected as sample. Similarly parents of children with first time diagnosis having children in the same age group were selected. Two standardized tool were selected-Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale (MSAS) to assess the experience of children with cancer and WHO QOL BREF (AUSTRALIAN VERSION) to assess the experience of parents of a children with cancer .-In the first cohort-For the qualitative part detailed interview was taken from children and parents. The results of the study are as follows-Using MSAS “How often did you have”—In the first cohort-Feeling sad had the highest mean of 1.9. In the second cohort nausea had the highest mean of 2.2. “How severe was it usually”-in the first cohort-Feeling sad had the highest mean of 1. In the second cohort lack of energy had the highest mean of 1.5. “How severe did it DISTRES or BOTHER you?” In the first cohort feeling sad had the highest mean of 1.6, in the second cohort lack of appetite had the highest mean of 1.7. In section II of MSAS scale “How severe was it usually “-In the first cohort -Hair loss had the highest mean of 1.6, in the second cohort also –hair loss had the highest mean of 1.6. For “How severe did it DISTRESS or BOTHER you?”-In the first cohort-hair loss had the highest mean of 1.4, in the second cohort also hair loss had the highest mean of 1.4.For WHO QOL (BREF) Australian Version researcher found that in the first cohort (0-3) months of diagnosis,among the four domains-Domain 4-Environment had the highest mean of 13.9. In the second cohort (4-7) months of diagnosis- Domain 3-Social relationship had the highest mean of 14.4. In the Qualitative part of the study two themes emerged after interviewing children and their parents. Progress in the initial stage of the disease, development in the treatment process. In the last part a Clinical Guideline for Psychological support in Pediatric Oncology was prepared. The results of this study suggest that it is very much important for the nursing staff working in Pediatric wards to know the experiences of children with cancer and their parents during the cancer trajectory to help them cross the difficult journey.
