Raynaud's phenomenon in a patient with silicone implants: How far is ASIA syndrome and not mixed connective tissue disease?
Authors: Rondón-Carvajal Julián , Escobar-Millán María Clara
Published: June 2024

Raynaud's phenomenon represents a harbinger of polyautoimmunity and although it is usually associated with systemic sclerosis, the discussion surrounding its classification in rheumatology is interesting given the current understanding of capillaroscopic findings in rheumatic diseases and improvements in immunological diagnostics. We present the case of a young woman who presented with biphasic Raynaud's phenomenon (pallor, cyanosis) associated with polyarthralgia affecting small joints of hands and feet in the context of immunological profile suggestive of undifferentiated connective tissue disease (ANA -anti-nuclear antibodies- 1:1280, mottled pattern and anti-RNP -anti-U1 ribonucleoprotein- at high titers: >200). Considering personal history of cohesive silicone buttock implants in 2012, a probable case of ASIA (Autoimmune/inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants) syndrome was considered, given the presence of one major and two minor criteria. However, a debate arises regarding the clinical spectrum of mixed connective tissue disease and the controversial ASIA syndrome.

Published: June 2024

The problem solution is considered for an airstream flow around a rectangular parallelepiped railway car model. The results of computer modeling in ANSYS CFX software system of air flow aerodynamics at its deviation from the longitudinal axis of the car are given. The k-ε turbulence model is used to close the Navier–Stokes equations averaged by Reynolds. The distribution diagrams of the flow velocities and pressures on the frontal and side surfaces of the vehicle are obtained. The values of aerodynamic drag coefficients of the car depending on the attack angle are determined. It is shown that when the attack angle increases from 0 to 10°, the aerodynamic coefficient changes nonlinearly, and this increase corresponds to the experimental values. The developed numerical modeling technique makes it possible to analyze the airflow around both railways rolling stock and automobiles.

The paper presents the results of microarc oxidation of porous aluminum made of alloys AlSi15, Д16 (D16) and AlMg6. According to research, on the surface of the sample, a composite oxide-ceramic coating is formed, consisting of mullite 3Al2O3‧2SiO2 and (or) various forms of aluminum oxide (α-, γ-Al2O3). It is shown that on the surface of porous aluminum, as well as in the pores of a cast sample, a coating is formed consisting of electropositive and electronegative sorption materials, aluminum oxides and aluminosilicates. Moreover, by changing the composition of the aluminum alloy and micro-arc oxidation modes, it is possible to control the phase composition of the coating being formed, which opens up the possibility of creating selective filter devices to retain either anionic or cationic inorganic compounds and microbiological objects.

Authors: KUGEDERA Andrew Tapiwa , MUTERO Ponesai , KOKERAI Letticia Kudzai
Published: June 2024

Soil fertility and moisture management can be sustainable ways to improve crop production in low rainfall areas. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of infield rainwater harvesting and cattle manure on maize yield, rainwater use efficiency, agronomic efficiency, and the value–cost ratio. The experiment used a split plot design with three in situ rainwater harvesting (IRWH) techniques (planting pits, infiltration pits, and conventional tillage (as a control)) as the main treatment factor and cattle manure as the sub-plot factor at four levels (0, 2.5, 5, and 10 t ha−1). The interactive effects of IRWH, cattle manure, and season were significant among all parameters measured (p<0.05). The highest maize grain yield (3990 kg ha−1) was obtained from the planting pits with 10 t ha−1 cattle manure in the 2022/23 cropping season. Maize stover yield increased with an increase in cattle manure, with the highest yield of 6450 t ha−1 at 10 t ha−1 cattle manure. Rainwater use efficiency was significantly (p<0.05) increased by an average of 2.5 kg ha−1 mm−1 from 0 to 2.5 t ha−1. Agronomic use efficiency significantly decreased with the increasing application rate of cattle manure (p<0.05). The interaction of planting pits and 2.5 t ha−1 cattle manure had the highest cost ratio of 6.66 in the 2022/23 season. The interaction between planting pits and 10 t ha−1 cattle manure resulted in higher maize yields and rainwater use efficiency. However, it is recommended that smallholder farmers use planting pits and 2.5 t ha−1 cattle manure to obtain higher yield increments and high profits in high-risk climates.

Published: June 2024

Composite wall panel (CWP) design involves a multidisciplinary approach involving material science, structural engineering and dynamic analysis, using advanced modelling techniques and empirical methods. This paper presents an experimental investigation and numerical analysis carried out to understand the component behaviour of Steel-Concrete composite wall panel using Basalt fibers under explosion test. The examination of plain cement concrete (PCC) and basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) walls with and without profiled steel sheets are casted as the experimental specimens. In this experiment, an explosive with a heat of detonation 1.59 (MJ/kg) is used at a standoff distance range of 1.0 meter and a varied charge weight is used. The Wall Panels experienced the different explosive load conditions, it is observed that minor cracking to moderate deformation is developed and under different charge weight displayed more noticeable deflection and localized damage, despite maintaining structural integrity without catastrophic failure. The experiments results are analyzed numerically; the simulated shock wave overpressure waveforms were compared with that tested. The result shows that the numerically simulated waveform is slightly different from the test waveform, it means that explosive test results achieved more strength than the analytical results. The Profiled sheet composite wall panel with PCC, it functions better and exhibit less spalling and cracking than PCC walls. Although the steel has good ductility properties and strength, it can sustain more significant damage from large explosions. BFRC walls perform better than PCC walls because of the basalt fibres increased tensile strength and ductility properties.

Authors: Rodríguez  Carranza Cinthia Soledad , Lazarte Reátegui Henry Daniel , Peña Corahua Julio Daniel
Published: June 2024

En los últimos años, se han intensificado los problemas de desigualdad social y desorden urbano, debido a la sectorización de la ciudad tras un proceso de modernización urbana desigual que promueve diferencias en los espacios de integración social, equipamientos urbanos y habitabilidad. Ello pone en evidencia el déficit urbano que precariza múltiples dimensiones de las condiciones de vida e inseguridad ciudadana, conllevando a delimitar zonas urbanas, incentivando el desarrollo de programas de intervención de carácter socio-urbano. La investigación se enmarca en el ODS-11.3 con un análisis crítico del pensamiento sistémico compacto y diálogo-debate con especialistas multidisciplinarios. Constituye una investigación sustantiva básica, enfoque mixto, nivel descriptivo – explicativo; diseño no experimental de corte transversal. La muestra fue de 322 unidades. Se emplearon como instrumentos fichas de observación, cuestionarios, entrevistas semi estructuradas a especialistas multidisciplinarios. Se codificaron entrevistas y fichas de observación por medio del programa Atlas ti.09 para un análisis cualitativo. Asimismo, se obtuvieron los resultados por medio del software estadístico MAXQDA. Se concluye que las condiciones de vivencia que experimenta la población y el formato de diseño urbano establecido bajo parámetros empíricos generan el desequilibrio en la calidad de vida con sus especiales características físicas que inhiben y disuaden la probabilidad de que se cometa un delito de manera directa en el ambiente territorial sectorizado. Finalmente, se consideran las recomendaciones para una urbe con una adecuada infraestructura que coadyuva un papel muy importante en la decisión de las personas, puesto que, una calidad de vida precaria genera una sensación de desigualdad en oportunidades ambientales y económicas.

The ability to interpret and create code is known as cryptography and has been used to exchange information between peer parties securely. An encryption algorithm is a type of network security model that consists of designing and putting into practice cryptographic algorithms and the supporting framework to help secure data. This cryptosystem is intended for use with cloud data. Cloud security, usually called cloud computing security, is the technique of securing infrastructure, applications, and data stored in the cloud from cyber threats and attacks. This study proposes a new encryption method based on the (x; y) points generated by circles to protect data in the cloud. Using a map table, a new mapping technique is shown in this study to transfer a plain text value to a point on a predetermined circle over the finite field GF (pm). This mapping technique produces a high dispersion of various spots for recurrent intensity values while being highly quick, simple to use, and with low entropy for plain text input. The implementation of the encryption and decryption processes is extensively studied and analyzed. Security analysis is done after encryption is implemented to determine how resilient the suggested technique is against statistical threats. The results shown in this study prove the superiority of the proposed algorithm.

Cymbopogon citratus (DC) Stapf. is utilized in both culinary and medicinal contexts, wherein its extracts demonstrate a range of therapeutic properties, including antidiabetic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. This investigation aimed to computationally analyze phytochemicals of C. citratus, evaluating their pharmacokinetics and binding dynamics. The findings revealed a combination of high and low gastrointestinal absorption (GIA) for C. citratus (DC.) phytochemicals, with some exhibiting permeability across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase (XDH) emerged as the primary human molecular target of C. citratus phytocompounds, while XDH and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) have central connectivity in the protein interaction network. Orientin has best binding affinity with XDH (−9.083 kcal.mol−1) and MMP9 (−9.051 kcal.mol−1). Molecular dynamic simulations indicated the favorable stability and interactions of XDH with orientin and quercetin, respectively. In summary, this investigation underscores the potential of twenty-six (26) phytochemicals in C. citratus extract to combat cancer and neurodegenerative diseases through mechanisms targeting XDH and MMP9.

Chili peppers were treated with gamma irradiation to develop anthracnose disease resistance. Seeds of chili peppers were irradiated with gamma rays at 0, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 Gy to determine the optimal dose for mutation breeding. The LD50 value was calculated to be 264.83 Gy. The 300 Gy gamma-irradiated chili pepper seeds (Capsicum annuum L.) were planted in the experiment field at Nan Agricultural Research and Development Center, Thailand for mutation selection. The results showed that the irradiated chili plants not only survived the anthracnose infection but also produced fruits. These fruits were less affected or unaffected by the anthracnose disease compared to the control group (unirradiated) which showed damages on every part of chili plant. The 28 healthy chili pepper plants in M3 generation that showed anthracnose resistant traits were selected as seeds for M4 generation. Two chili pepper lines in M4 generation exhibited the highest resistance to anthracnose. From the pathogenicity test, those 2 chili pepper lines were found to have resistance to anthracnose disease caused by both Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Colletotrichum capsici.
HIGHLIGHTS

Gamma irradiation has been applied to induce mutation in chili peppers to increase anthracnose resistance
The gamma-ray dose of 300 Gy was found to be optimum for inducing anthracnose resistance characteristics in chili peppers
Two chili pepper anthracnose resistance mutant lines were discovered, with additional desired characteristics: Shrub-shaped plant and erect or upright fruits which are convenient for harvesting

NAZİ ALMANYA’SI KARŞITI SOVYET PROPAGANDASINDA ÇOCUKLARIN KULLANIMI
Authors: Darı Abdülhakim Bahadır
Published: June 2024

1939’da Sovyetler Birliği, Alman-Sovyet Saldırmazlık Paktı’nı imzalayarak Nazi Almanya’sıyla ilişkilerini düzenlemiş, ancak kısa bir süre sonra Polonya’nın işgaliyle savaşa dâhil olmuştur. Almanya’nın Sovyetler Birliği’ne ani bir saldırısıyla 1941’de savaş başlamış, Sovyetler Birliği Batı sınırlarında toprak kaybı yaşamış ve Nazi orduları Moskova’ya kadar ilerlemiştir. Sovyetler Birliği, halkı Alman işgaline karşı motive etmek için etkin bir propaganda stratejisi izlemiştir. Propagandada hüzün, mizah, korku ve öfke unsurları kullanılmış, çocuklar ise bu görsellerde ön plana çıkarılmıştır. Analizler, Sovyet propaganda görsellerinde Nazi Almanya’nın çocuklara zarar verdiği ve Sovyet halkının birlik olması gerektiği mesajının verildiğini göstermektedir. Bu propaganda, Nazi işgaline karşı halkı harekete geçirmeyi amaçlamıştır. İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nda Sovyet propagandasında, Nazi Almanya’sına karşı çocukların nasıl öne çıkarıldığını belirlemek açısından bu çalışma önemlidir. Bu kapsamda Sovyetler Birliği tarafından gerçekleştirilen Nazi Almanya’sı karşıtı propaganda faaliyetlerinde mizah, hüzün, korku ve öfke çekicilikleri kullanılmıştır. Sovyetler Birliği’nin hüzün çekiciliğinden yararlandığı kimi propaganda görsellerinden de çocuklar ön plana çıkarılmıştır. Çalışmada İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nda Sovyetler Birliği’nin hüzün çekiciliği bağlamında çocukları ön plana çıkardığı görsellerde propaganda boyutunda ne tür mesajların verildiğinin tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla çalışma kapsamında konuya ilişkin görseller, hüzün çekiciliği boyutunda Louis Hjelmslev’in semiyoloji modeli üzerinden analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgular ışığında propaganda görsellerinde Nazi Almanya’sının çocukların mağdur olmasına yol açtığı mesajının verildiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu kapsamda da propaganda görselleri üzerinden Nazi Almanya’sının üzerine sert bir şekilde gidilerek, Nazi Almanya’sının işgalinin sonlandırılması için Sovyetler Birliği halkının seferber edilmeye çalışıldığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çocukların yaşadığı acılar hüzün çekiciliğiyle vurgulanarak Almanlara karşı nefret söylemi güçlendirilmiştir. Bu şekilde Sovyet halkı, Nazi işgaline karşı birlik olmaya yönlendirilmiştir.
AGROTECHNOLOGICAL METHODS OF PEST CONTROL OF SPRING WHEAT
Authors: B. G. Beisen
Published: June 2024

To obtain a good yield of grain crops, including spring wheat, specialists use various techniques to prevent grain losses. One of the factors affecting the yield of spring wheat is the impact of pests. There are about 300 species, but 140 of them are the most significant. Their degree of harmfulness depends on climatic conditions and the phase of vegetation of plants [4]. The main pests of spring wheat are: wheat thrips, meadow moth, bug harmful turtle, bread beetle, dark nutcracker, striped nutcracker, bread bug, common cereal aphid, gray grain scooper and other insects. The following methods of control are used to combat these pests: agrotechnological, biological and chemical [6]. Agrotechnical methods include: observing crop rotation, sowing dates, plowing and weeding the soil on time, timely harvesting of grain crops, cleaning of plant residues from fields. In addition, it is important to use high-quality varieties. Keywords: Spring wheat, agrotechnological methods, silverbeard, pests, sowing dates, varieties.
