Mi a helyzet az inflációval?
Authors: Csontos Tamás
Published: March 2023

Az elmúlt hónapokban nem csak a gazdasági szakembereknek, hanem a mindennapi megélhetésüket kereső állampolgároknak is fontos beszédtémájává vált az évtizedek óta nem látott áremelkedés. A heti nagybevásárlás intézése közben szinte lehetetlen nem észre venni, hogy akár hétről hétre milyen mértékben emelkednek egyes termékek árai. Legutóbbi személyes elképedésem akkor ért mikor a pár héttel ezelőtt még 350 Ft körüli áron vett vajat a népnyelven Madaras Teszkónak csúfolt áruház polcain 800 Ft-os áron láttam meg. A másik érdekes megfigyelésem az volt, hogy hiába a forint gyengülése, számos termékből a hazai áruk árai jobban nőnek, mint az import termékeké. A bevásárló kocsi tologatása közben ezeken merengtem, s közben az jutott eszembe, hogy érdemes lenne megvizsgálni kicsit részletesebben az inflációs adatok alakulását regionális összefüggésben. Hogy alakul a környező országokban, a V4-ben az infláció? Kilóg-e Magyarország a régióból? Mióta is beszélhetünk már emelkedő inflációs környezetről? Mi hajtja az inflációt? Ezekre a kérdésekre keresem a választ jelen cikkben.

Mi is az a zöld GHRM?
Authors: Süle Ákos
Published: March 2023

Az elmúlt években a zöld emberi erőforrás menedzsment (Green Human Resource Management, GHRM) témája egyre népszerűbb témává vált a szakmai és az akadémiai körökben. Ez a trend nem meglepő, hiszen a környezeti fenntarthatóság egyre fontosabb motívumát képezi mindennapjainknak, sokan keresik a megoldást arra, hogy hogyan tudunk életünk különböző területein olyan gyakorlatokat elsajátítani, amik a fenntarthatóság felé terelne minket. A GHRM összesíti azokat az eszközöket, amik segítségével egy zöld, környezetére érzékeny munkavállalói mentalitást lehet ösztönözni, amely értékeli és elősegíti a vállalatban a környezettudatos kezdeményezéseket, illetve az ilyen típusú szervezeti kultúra kialakulását. A következőkben a GHRM egyes területein keresztül kerül bemutatásra, hogy a gyakorlatban hogyan néz ki ez a megközelítés. A rekrutálás terén a munkaadók felismerték, hogy a zöld vállalati kultúra vonzó lehet sokak számára és segíthet a tehetségek bevonzásában. Olyan munkaköri leírások születnek, amik kiemelik a vállalat környezettudatos értékajánlatát és a kiválasztásnál is külön figyelmet szentelnek ennek a szempontnak. Ez nem csak az employer brandet növeli, hanem egy közös pontot is jelent a leendő munkavállalók között, ami a beilleszkedést is segítheti.
A csapat egysége

2021-ben Kínában megjelent egy tangping néven elhíresült mozgalom, aminek lényege, hogy arra bátorítja a kínaiakat, hogy hagyjanak fel a karrierépítéssel, ne dőljenek be az üres materialista ígéreteknek, inkább dőljenek hátra és élvezzék az életet. A jelenség alapvetően a 20-as és 30-as éveikben járó, képzett munkaerő körében terjedt el, akik nélkülözhetetlen építőkockái (lennének) a tudásalapú társadalom felépítésének Kínában. Ezek az emberek a középosztályhoz tartoznak, a városokban élnek, alapvető szociális háló védi őket, ezek a körülmények pedig lehetővé teszik számukra a hanyatt dőlést, a mókuskerékből való kiszállást. A középosztálynak megvannak a maga problémái az elszálló ingatlanárak, a növekvő háztartási eladósodottság, a társadalmi ranglétrán való lecsúszás lehetőségének képében – mindez meglehetősen erősen rezonál az USA-beli helyzettel – azonban ez a társadalmi réteg csupán a fele a 1,4 milliárdos kínai népességnek, a populáció közel 48%-a alacsony jövedelmű. Amikor Kína tudásalapú gazdaságra való átállásának lehetőségeiről beszélünk, nem feledkezhetünk meg erről a masszív társadalmi rétegről sem.

Published: March 2023

Várias doenças reumáticas autoimunes (DRA) são responsáveis pelo aumento do risco de comorbidades cardiovasculares, seja por aterosclerose, formação de trombos, vasculite ou inflamação miocárdica. O aprimoramento de práticas terapêuticas e o aumento da expectativa de vida dos pacientes trouxe um novo olhar para as complicações cardiovasculares decorrentes de desordens reumatológicas. O presente artigo tece considerações acerca de cardiopatias nas Doenças Reumáticas. Os resultados demonstraram  ser a atividade física uma das intervenções comportamentais mais importantes, como um impacto benéfico na probabilidade de se desenvolver, sofrer sintomaticamente ou morrer de DCV. Dessa forma, manter um estilo de vida saudável reduz os fatores de risco para DCV, incluindo a obesidade, dislipidemia, hipertensão, diabetes mellitus e possivelmente até inflamação. Também mostrou eficácia na prevenção de síndromes coronarianas agudas. O exercício parece ajudar no manejo das DCV estabelecidas, seja ele exercício aeróbico ou o treinamento resistido. Melhoram a contratilidade miocárdica e a qualidade de vida em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca crônica.

A água é um fator presente na vida do ser humano em todos os momentos de sua existência. O correto manejo da mesma, seja para o abastecimento e o usufruto das necessidades sociais, quer do controle das águas pluviais e afins são desafios presentes em praticamente todas os grandes centros populacionais do mundo. Desta maneira a presente pesquisa objetivou o estudo do Canal da Avenida Doutor Moraes, em Belém/PA, inserido na Bacia Hidrográfica da Estrada Nova para avaliar suas condições de desempenho, o cuidado das autoridades para com este sistema, a responsabilidade dos usuários, e o estado físico e de conservação dos componentes de micro e macrodrenagem do mesmo. O canal corta várias avenidas do Bairro da Batista Campos, ficando bem próximo dos bairros das Cremação e do Jurunas. Os componentes do Canal encontram-se bem conservados devido a certa conscientização dos moradores locais e de agenda bem definida das autoridades competentes que realizam limpezas periódicas no local, além de planeamentos para dragagem do canal que em um certo trecho sofre com o assoreamento. As problemáticas giram em torno apenas de situações pontuais de desrespeito por parte dos usuários que despejam de forma irresponsável os resíduos sólidos residenciais, além de realizarem ligações clandestinas sem o devido cuidado com a estrutura em concreto armado do canal. Por fim observou-se que os sistemas só podem ser preservados com a união e trabalho conjunto do poder público com a população, onde cada um realiza o seu papel diante das responsabilidades para os direitos e deveres possam manter o equilíbrio necessário para o bem-estar da população como um todo.

Câncer Bucal e sua Correlação com Micro-organismos da Cavidade Oral
Authors: Tomaz Gabriela Nunes , Santos Katiele Souza Barbosa , Pereira Lara Correia , Amaral Polyana Argolo Souza
Published: March 2023

O carcinona de células escamosas é uma das principais causas de mortalidade por câncer de boca, e diversos hábitos deletérios associados a inflamações crônicas têm sido reconhecidos como fatores predisponentes no seu processo. As bactérias constituintes do biofilme oral foram sugestivas no desenvolvimento do câncer bucal, haja visto que várias hipóteses têm sido propostas para explicar como a microbiota oral pode estar envolvida na patogênese do câncer com evidência, principalmente, à inflamação crônica, síntese microbiana de substâncias cancerígenas e alteração da integridade da barreira epitelial. O objetivo foi apresentar nesta revisão narrativa de literatura a correlação entre o câncer bucal e os possíveis micro-organismos que podem estar presentes na cavidade oral. Para tanto, realizou-se uma busca de publicações via online, entre os anos de 2007 a 2022, com uso de três bases de dados eletrônicas: Lilacs, SciELO e Pubmed. A estratégia de busca incluiu as seguintes palavras-chave: “placa dentária” (dental plaque) AND “patogênese” (pathogenesis), AND “câncer bucal” (oral cancer). Foram incluídos artigos em português e inglês, e excluídas cartas ao editor, teses, editoriais e monografias. Apesar de ainda não apresentar devidamente definida na literatura, o câncer bucal pode estar relacionado com os microrganismos da cavidade oral que, somada a outros fatores de risco, favorece a ação dos pró-carcinogênicos.

Schadenfreude é um termo ligado ao prazer malicioso derivado de observar o infortúnio de outra pessoa, trazendo em seu significado um sentimento infeliz. Lawfare é um termo que não tem definição fixa. É entendido de forma geral como sendo o uso indevido da lei, como meio para alcançar objetivos militares. Estaria preocupado com a instrumentalização da lei para alcançar fins estratégicos políticos. A ideia é eliminar, deslegitimar ou incapacitar os oponentes. É o objetivo deste estudo, rever tais fenômenos para destacar como o direito está situado dentro de um terreno político mais amplo, também moral e social nas tomadas de decisões.

Population of Soil Nematodes in The Treatment of Brassicaceae Plant Waste Brassicaceae plants are known to contain glucosinolates which can be hydrolyzed into biofumigant compounds. This research was conducted to examine the effect of biofumigant derived from Brassicaceae plants waste on soil nematode population dynamics. Greenhouse experiment was carried out on 4 types of Brassicaceae plants waste, consisting of leaf waste of radish (Raphanus sativus), broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica), cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata), and whole parts kamanilan weed (Roripa indica) in polybags containing 5 L of nematode infested soil. Plant waste was chopped ± 1 cm in size, then as much as 117 g per polybag was mixed in nematode infested soil, doused with water until wet and tightly closed for the biofumigation process for 14 days. At the end of biofumigation step, the polybags were opened for 3-5 days, then 7 day - old cucumber seedlings of var. Roberto 92 were planted and the plants were maintained in greenhouse for up to 8 weeks. Observation of the type and population of soil nematodes was carried out three times, i.e. before treatment, after treatment, and 8 weeks after planting. This experiment was designed in a completely randomized design with 6 treatments and 5 replications. The results of the study showed that the population of free-living nematodes (bacteriovorous nematodes and fungivorous nematodes) was increased in all treatment of Brassicaceae plants waste. On the other hand, there was a significant decrease in the phytonematodes population in the treatment of broccoli leaf waste. All Brassicaceae wastes was able to suppress population of Helicotylenchus sp., Rotylenchulus sp., and Xiphinema sp., significantly. Leaf waste of broccoli leaves showed the highest inhibition value against all phytonematodes genera with inhibition reached 100%.

Komunikacja marketingowa czasu pandemii na podstawie portalu społecznościowego Facebook
Authors: Smól Joanna
Published: March 2023

Communications made by marketing specialists during the COVID-19 pandemic differ greatly from the journalistic communications creating a climate of fear. Companies are trying to exert a positive influence on customer attitudes and draw their attention to the marketing offering by neutralising their sense of threat and informing them of protective measures taken and of the potential health benefits of purchasing the products offered or the service provided. The constant trends are to use allusive statements and tabooisation of the language sphere associated with the pandemic. One of the factors that can help attract a potential customer is humour, which creates a distance from the hazard. This article presents the various roles played by marketing specialists in a pandemic-triggered crisis situation (e.g. the role of the victim, the role of the saviour who provides safety, health and good mood). The study examines the posts published on Facebook pages by randomly selected companies between October and December 2020.
Diagnoza dymensjonalna zespołu Aspergera
Authors: Korendo Marta
Published: March 2023

Asperger syndrome has been included in the common category of autistic disorders in current medical classifications. In spite of that, there are still some researches allowing us to see the differences in the structure and functioning of the brains of people with autism and Asperger syndrome. Differentiation at the level of diagnosis is important because of the different educational and therapeutic needs of children with autism and AS. This paper presents the concept of dimensional case assessment of children with Asperger syndrome. The dimensional approach allows for viewing the disorder multidimensionally, taking into account the severity of the phenomenon and in connection with other factors, not only other disorders, which significantly reduces the omission of non-prototypical cases in diagnoses and accelerates the use of therapeutic measures. It is necessary because of the low effectiveness of the diagnostic categorical approach.
Mechanizm nabytej apraksji mowy i sposoby jej diagnozowania
Authors: Rutkiewicz-Hanczewska Małgorzata
Published: March 2023

The subject of this article is the specificity of acquired apraxia of speech and the inclusion and exclusion criteria for diagnosing this type of disorder. The article draws attention to the distinction between apraxia of speech and aphasia or dysarthria with which it very often coexists. It describes the process of diagnosing it, which should include the assessment of the consistency of an utterance, its accuracy and fluency, and therefore the degree of adequacy of repeated statements, differentiation of errors (phonetic, phonological) that accompany it, and speech fluency. The article also discusses the tools for studying apraxia of speech currently existing worldwide, including hierarchical word lists and scales for its assessment.

Błędy pisowniowe w wiadomościach przesyłanych na kartach pocztowych
Authors: Dzienisiewicz Daniel
Published: March 2023

The aim of the article is to characterise the spelling errors observed in Polish postcard messages. The analysis of the source literature shows that so far little attention has been paid to errors occurring in unsupervised communication. For this reason, nearly 700 errors from around 3,000 texts sent via postcards in the second half of the 20th century were examined. The author discusses individual errors and presents their typology, concluding that the most common mistakes concern the conventional and historical principles of Polish spelling. This conclusion to a large extent confirms the results of previousresearch on the spelling practice of Polish speakers and the so-called “difficult words”.
Direktive Sprechakte in frühneuzeitlichen Fremdsprachenlehrwerken
Authors: Ackermann Tanja
Published: March 2023

Early Modern foreign language textbooks and especially the model dialogues that are typical of such manuals are particularly valuable sources for historical pragmatics due to the imitation of oral communication. However, the potential of this source has hardly been exploited, especially for historical speech act analysis. This study will now, first, empirically investigate the realization patterns for directive speech acts in selected model dialogues from the 16th to 18th century. Second, on the basis of the results, a data-based evaluation of the authenticity and thus the potential of language learning dialogues as a source for historical linguistics will be made.
Literarischer Transfer auf Umwegen: Ironisches Sprechen im ›Löwenritter‹ Chrétiens de Troyes und im Kreuzlied Hartmanns von Aue, ›Ich var mit iuweren hulden‹ (MF 218,5)
Authors: Abel Stefan
Published: March 2023

Chrétien de Troyes’s Old French Arthurian romances have mostly found expression in corresponding German romances such as Hartmann von Aue’s ›Iwein‹. Generally, Chrétien’s romances have not influenced the German poets’ lyrical works, so far as known, with one single exception: an ironic passage from Chrétien’s ›Chevalier au lion‹ could have served as a model for the ironic speech in Hartmann’s crusade song ›Ich var mit iuweren hulden‹ (MF 218,5). In Chrétien, Calogrenant, Yvain’s cousin, informs the Arthurian court of his defeat by Esclados, and Yvain is eager to take revenge for his cousin. By using proverbial expressions which allude, inter alia, to the crusades against Noradin or Saladin, Keu, however, ironically reproaches Yvain for not following his words with action whereas at table, he is talking about heroic deeds he would achieve the following day. The discrepancy between word and deed is also a theme in Hartmann’s crusade song. A much discussed passage in the song’s second stanza first declares true love for God and then for one’s lady as being willing to embark on a crusade. Then, however, a logical break occurs, when the singer, obviously on the point of departing, declares: ›yet if Saladin were alive and all his army, they would never take me a foot out of Franconia‹ (MF 218,19f.). Hartmann undoubtedly knew the ironic Noradin passage from Chrétien. Therefore, the question arises if the Saladin passage in Hartmann’s crusade song should also be read ironically.

CVEM-BEM Coupling for the Simulation of Time-Domain Wave Fields Scattered by Obstacles with Complex Geometries
Authors: Desiderio Luca , Falletta Silvia , Ferrari Matteo , Scuderi Letizia
Published: March 2023

In this paper, we present a numerical method based on the coupling between a Curved Virtual Element Method (CVEM) and a Boundary Element Method (BEM) for the simulation of wave fields scattered by obstacles immersed in homogeneous infinite media.
In particular, we consider the 2D time-domain damped wave equation, endowed with a Dirichlet condition on the boundary (sound-soft scattering).
To reduce the infinite domain to a finite computational one, we introduce an artificial boundary on which we impose a Boundary Integral Non-Reflecting Boundary Condition (BI-NRBC).
We apply a CVEM combined with the Crank–Nicolson time integrator in the interior domain, and we discretize the BI-NRBC by a convolution quadrature formula in time and a collocation method in space.
We present some numerical results to test the performance of the proposed approach and to highlight its effectiveness, especially when obstacles with complex geometries are considered.
Coupling of Finite and Boundary Elements for Singularly Nonlinear Transmission and Contact Problems
Authors: Gimperlein Heiko , Stephan Ernst P.
Published: March 2023

This article discusses the well-posedness and error analysis of the coupling of finite and boundary elements for interface problems in nonlinear elasticity.
It concerns 𝑝-Laplacian-type Hencky materials with an unbounded stress-strain relation, as they arise in the modelling of ice sheets, non-Newtonian fluids or porous media.
We propose a functional analytic framework for the numerical analysis and obtain a priori and a posteriori error estimates for Galerkin approximations to the resulting boundary/domain variational inequality.
Tones and paradigms: a study of grammatical tones in Mande verbal inflection
Authors: Konoshenko Maria
Published: March 2023

This paper explores how grammatical tones (GTs) are organized into inflectional paradigms in a sample of 20 Mande languages (Niger-Congo), where tonal morphology plays a central role in the expression of TAMP meanings. Adopting the Canonical Typology approach, I assess the degree of canonicity in Mande GTs based on their formal and semantic properties. I show that verbal grammatical tones are mainly realized as replacive in Mande; they are independent from segmental morphemes and may be strongly influenced by surface phonology. Verbal GTs tend to be used in idiosyncratic sets of TAMP constructions and form phonologically determined inflectional classes in Mande, as in many other African languages. I argue that GTs attested in Perfective and Irrealis constructions in modern Mande languages are likely to be an old phenomenon already present in Proto Mande. The consistency of morphological tone assignment in Mande verbs suggests that GTs may be genetically quite stable morphological markers.

Published: March 2023

Lung cancer is one of the malignant tumors, and genetic background is a risk factor in lung cancer that cannot be neglected. In this study, we aimed to find out the effect of MRPS30-DT and NINJ2 variants on lung cancer risk. In this study, the seven selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of MRPS30-DT and NINJ2 were genotyped in 509 lung cancer patients and 501 healthy controls based on the Agena MassARRAY platform. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated by logistic regression analysis to evaluate association between gene polymorphisms and lung cancer risk. False-positive report probability was also used to assess false-positive results. Furthermore, the interaction between SNPs was analyzed by multifactor dimensionality reduction to predict lung cancer risk. We identified the genotype TA of rs16901963 (T < A) in MRPS30-DT as a protective factor against lung cancer, while rs16901963-TT was significantly associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. We also revealed that the effect of MRPS30-DT and NINJ2 variants on the risk of lung cancer was dependent on age, gender, smoking, and drinking status. In conclusion, this study first proved that MRPS30-DT and NINJ2 variants played important roles in affecting the susceptibility to lung cancer.
Controlled compression, amplification and frequency up-conversion of optical pulses by media with time-dependent refractive index
Authors: Löhr Alexander Gabriel , Ivanov Misha Yu , Khokhlova Margarita A.
Published: March 2023

Control over the time dependence of the refractive index of a material allows one to modify and manipulate the properties of light propagating through it. While metamaterials provide a promising avenue in this context, another route has been extensively explored by the ultrafast community — the so-called molecular modulators. Indeed, impulsively-aligned diatomic molecules provide a unique medium, where periodic rotational revivals induced by a pump pulse persist for tens of picoseconds, offering an excellent opportunity for the controlled modification of the refractive index and, therefore, of femtosecond laser pulses propagating through these media. Here we present an analytical theory which describes this process and stumble across a novel mechanism revealing exponential transformations of the probe pulse — its compression, amplification and frequency up-conversion. In particular, our analytical results predict the generation of amplified ultrashort (about 20 fs) ultraviolet pulses centered around 550 nm, starting with near infrared input pulses centered on 1 μm of about 30 fs duration, under very realistic experimental conditions.
The calcium oxidotellurates Ca2(TeIVTeVIO7), Ca2(TeIVO3)Cl2 and Ca5(TeIVO3)4Cl2 obtained from salt melts
Authors: Wolflehner Tobias , Stöger Berthold , Weil Matthias
Published: March 2023

The mixed-valent calcium oxidotellurate(IV,VI) Ca2(Te2O7) (= Ca2(TeIVTeVIO7)) and the two calcium oxidotellurate(IV) dichlorides Ca2(TeIVO3)Cl2 and Ca5(TeIVO3)4Cl2 were obtained from metal chloride salt melts. Structure determination from single crystal X-ray data revealed a unique crystal structure in each case. A common motif in the three crystal structures is the formation of a framework perforated by channels into which the stereochemically active 5s
2 electron lone pairs E of the TeIV atoms are directed. Ca2(Te2O7) belongs to category I of the Robin-Day classification of mixed-valent compounds. Its crystal structure features a double chain of condensed trigonal-pyramidal [TeIVO3] and octahedral [TeVIO6] units embedded within a framework of [CaO
x
] polyhedra (x = 7–8). The Cl atoms in the crystal structures of Ca2(TeIVO3)Cl2 and Ca5(TeIVO3)4Cl2 act as spacers between isolated trigonal-pyramidal [TeO3] units and exhibit weak interactions with the 5s
2 electron lone pairs E, with Cl⋯E distances <3.6 Å.

Here the effectiveness of a C-S-H–PCE nanocomposite admixture on early strength development of eco-friendly cements (clinker blended with up to 35% fly ash or calcined clay) was investigated. First, C-S-H–PCE nano-composites were synthesized from Ca(NO3)2/Na2SiO3 via a co-precipitation method and their particle size distribution was analyzed. Differently structured PCE comb polymers based on IPEG chemistry were used in the synthesis. Nanofoils of ∼50 nm length were identified as most promising seeding material. Furthermore, addition of such C-S-H–PCE nanofoils was found to substantially increase mortar strength at early ages, particularly after 6–24 h of curing. Isothermal heat flow calorimetry and in-situ XRD measurements indicate that silicate hydration in cement is significantly accelerated. Most remarkably, C-S-H–PCE also was confirmed to speed up the pozzolanic reaction of fly ash and calcined clay and to stimulate the formation of hemicarbo aluminate (Hc), especially in calcined clay cement. Thus, C-S-H–PCE can foster the more widespread use of eco-friendly CEM II/III cements.

Las rizobacterias promotoras del crecimiento vegetal interactúan con distintos tratamientos o metales presentes en suelos enriquecidos con composta, que mejoran las condiciones del suelo y benefician al crecimiento de la planta. El objetivo fue analizar el desarrollo de Medicago sativa con rizobacterias en condiciones de estrés. Se germinaron semillas de alfalfa de dos variedades (Victoria y Aragón), inoculadas con dos rizobacterias; se trasplantaron en invernadero y se adicionó sulfato de cobre, composta, en dos tipos de suelo (regado con aguas residuales y aguas de pozo). El suelo residual presentó significancia en el número de hojas y altura de la planta, la variedad Victoria en el número de hojas, la cepa M40 en el diámetro del tallo y la composta con 37 g en longitud de raíz. El uso de rizobacterias asociadas a la raíz en combinación con composta y metales pesados permite desarrollar tecnologías con beneficios para la Medicago sativa.

Authors: Lámbarry-Vilchis Fernando
Published: March 2023

El fin de esta investigación fue proponer indicadores y estrategias para desarrollar resiliencia en el sector restaurantero independiente de México ante el coronavirus 2019 (covid-19). Para dar cumplimiento a ello, el método de investigación implicó una fase de análisis descriptivo sobre el estatus del covid-19 y las medidas y programas implementadas para mitigar su impacto en los restaurantes de la Ciudad de México, además de un análisis correlacional de los modelos bidimensionales de Prayag y de Whitman. Se concluye que la capacidad de planeación y la capacidad de adaptación se correlacionan positiva y significativamente con la resiliencia. Ante ello, los restaurantes que prosperarán durante el covid-19 en una nueva normalidad son aquellos que muestren interés por los clientes y empleados; establezcan tanto estrategias de prioridades de recuperación como de habilidades y capacidades de recursos externos; y mejoren la mentalidad de silo, las estructuras de liderazgo, la gestión y gobernanza, así como la innovación y creatividad.

Published: March 2023

The highly-conserved stomatin domain has been identified in genes throughout all classes of life. In animals, different stomatin domain-encoding genes have been implicated in the function of the kidney, red blood cells, and specific neuron types, although the underlying mechanisms remain unresolved. In one well-studied example of stomatin domain gene function, theCaenorhabditis elegansgenemec-2and its mouse homologStoml3are required for the function of mechanosensory neurons, where they modulate the activity of mechanosensory ion channels on the plasma membrane. Here, we identify an additional shared function formec-2andStoml3in a very different sensory context, that of olfaction. In worms, we find that a subset of stomatin domain genes are expressed in olfactory neurons, but onlymec-2is strongly required for olfactory behavior.mec-2acts cell-autonomously and multiple alternatively-spliced isoforms ofmec-2can be substituted for each other. We generate aStoml3knock-out (KO) mouse and demonstrate that, like its worm homologmec-2, it is required for olfactory behavior. In mice,Stoml3is not required for odor detection, but is required for odor discrimination. Therefore, in addition to their shared roles in mechanosensory behavior,mec-2andStoml3also have a shared role in olfactory behavior.

There is substantial variation in the mean and variance of light levels (luminance and contrast) in natural visual scenes. Retinal ganglion cells maintain their sensitivity despite this variation using two adaptive mechanisms, which control how responses depend on luminance and on contrast. However, the nature of each mechanism and their interactions downstream of the retina are unknown. We recorded neurons in the magnocellular and parvocellular layers of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) in anesthetized adult male macaques and characterized how their responses adapt to changes in contrast and luminance. As contrast increases, neurons in the magnocellular layers maintain sensitivity to high temporal frequency stimuli but attenuate sensitivity to low-temporal frequency stimuli. Neurons in the parvocellular layers do not adapt to changes in contrast. As luminance increases, both magnocellular and parvocellular cells increase their sensitivity to high-temporal frequency stimuli. Adaptation to luminance is independent of adaptation to contrast, as previously reported for LGN neurons in the cat. Our results are similar to those previously reported for macaque retinal ganglion cells, suggesting that adaptation to luminance and contrast result from two independent mechanisms that are retinal in origin.

Tauopathies including Alzheimer's disease, are characterized by progressive cognitive decline, neurodegeneration, and intraneuronal aggregates comprised largely of the axonal protein Tau. It has been unclear whether cognitive deficits are a consequence of aggregate accumulation thought to compromise neuronal health and eventually lead to neurodegeneration. We use theDrosophilatauopathy model and mixed-sex populations to reveal an adult onset pan-neuronal Tau accumulation-dependent decline in learning efficacy and a specific defect in protein synthesis-dependent memory (PSD-M), but not in its protein synthesis-independent variant. We demonstrate that these neuroplasticity defects are reversible on suppression of new transgenic human Tau expression and surprisingly correlate with an increase in Tau aggregates. Inhibition of aggregate formation via acute oral administration of methylene blue results in re-emergence of deficient memory in animals with suppressed human Tau (hTau)0N4Rexpression. Significantly, aggregate inhibition results in PSD-M deficits in hTau0N3R-expressing animals, which present elevated aggregates and normal memory if untreated with methylene blue. Moreover, methylene blue–dependent hTau0N4Raggregate suppression within adult mushroom body neurons also resulted in emergence of memory deficits. Therefore, deficient PSD-M on human Tau expression in theDrosophilaCNS is not a consequence of toxicity and neuronal loss because it is reversible. Furthermore, PSD-M deficits do not result from aggregate accumulation, which appears permissive, if not protective of processes underlying this memory variant.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTIntraneuronal Tau aggregate accumulation has been proposed to underlie the cognitive decline and eventual neurotoxicity that characterizes the neurodegenerative dementias known as tauopathies. However, we show in three experimental settings that Tau aggregates in theDrosophilaCNS do not impair but rather appear to facilitate processes underlying protein synthesis-dependent memory within affected neurons.

Conditions related to cardiometabolic disease, including metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, are common among men with Klinefelter syndrome (KS). The molecular mechanisms underlying this aberrant metabolism in KS are largely unknown, although there is an assumption that chronic testosterone deficiency plays a role. This cross-sectional study compared plasma metabolites in 31 pubertal adolescent males with KS to 32 controls of similar age (14 ± 2 years), pubertal stage, and body mass index z-score of 0.1 ± 1.2 and then between testosterone-treated (n = 16) and untreated males with KS. The plasma metabolome in males with KS was distinctly different from that in controls, with 22% of measured metabolites having a differential abundance and seven metabolites nearly completely separating KS from controls (area under the curve > 0.9, P < 0.0001). Multiple saturated free fatty acids were higher in KS, while mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids were lower, and the top significantly enriched pathway was mitochondrial β-oxidation of long-chain saturated fatty acids (enrichment ratio 16, P < 0.0001). In contrast, there were no observed differences in metabolite concentrations between testosterone-treated and untreated individuals with KS. In conclusion, the plasma metabolome profile in adolescent males with KS is distinctly different from that in males without KS independent of age, obesity, pubertal development, or testosterone treatment status and is suggestive of differences in mitochondrial β-oxidation.
PRODUCCIÓN DE LUGARES HEGEMÓNICOS EN LA INDUSTRIA MUSICAL. LA MÚSICA COMO GENERADORA DE SUSTRATO ONTOLÓGICO EN LA POSMODERNIDAD
Authors: Baceiredo Pérez Rebeca
Published: March 2023

Se intenta establecer el papel de la música dentro de la cultura como factor de producción de subjetivación. Se analiza el concepto de cultura en su evolución, desde las concepciones etnográficas esencialistas hasta las posiciones materialistas, que, tras la crítica marxista, incorpora la teoría de la agencia. Finalmente, con la ayuda de los estudios latinoamericanos, se entiende el proceso cultural como una modulación especializada en la transmisión de la estructura social, y la producción musical contemporánea como el fetiche que asegura la ilusión de los valores dominantes. Además, incorporando los análisis sociológicos musicales contemporáneos realizados en el mundo anglosajón, se expone que serviría para producir un sustrato ontológico para el yo fragmentado de una posmodernidad que, en realidad, no ha querido superar la metafísica tradicional.
Snake and fish in the architectural decoration of the Christian the churches in Caucasus in medieval period: some observations
Authors: Endoltseva Ekaterina
Published: March 2023

The article deals with the images of fish and snake in the architectural decoration of the Christian churches in Caucasus in 10 – 14 centuries. The theme of the dragon fighters is not in the focus of the research. The research is dedicated to the images of snake (without paws and fangs, in contrast to dragon-snake) when represented in heraldic position, in the scenes of the prophet Jonas devoured by the sea-monster and in isolated position. It is also dedicated to the image of the fish. The earliest representations of the snakes and dragon-snakes appear on the facades of the Christian churches in Caucasus as early as the Xth century on the territory of the Northern Caucasus and Georgia. Later they are turned in hybrid creatures, dragon-snake (with paws and fangs, sometimes covered with fish scales). Two heads of snake on the earliest representations as well as cirсles on its body underline the apotropaic meaning of the image. The appearance of the snake (not the dragon-snake) on the territory in question could be explained by the influence of the local archaeological culture (Cobano-Colchis). Being represented on the facades of the Christian churches they function as apotropaia. The appearance of the isolated images of fishes in the architectural decoration could also be influenced by the local archaeological culture. The way of the sketching the scales on its body (on the relief from Anacopia) proves its biological identification as trout (the widest spread fish in the mountains of Caucasus). The image of the fish carved on the facades of the Christian churches could also have apotropaic function.
Revisiting the nature of dark sunspots: magneto-optical nature of darkness and heating of sunspots
Authors: Kuzmich Soika Alexander
Published: March 2023

A critical analysis of the state of modern sunspot physics and the closely related physics of the sun as a whole is given. It is shown that the appearance and existence of dark and cold sunspots in the photosphere of the Sun is impossible, since this contradicts the second law of thermodynamics. The physical mechanism is described by which the magnetic field of a sunspot affects the processes of emission of light photons by the photospheric gas in the continuous spectrum of visible radiation, as a result of which it becomes dark and hot. Experimental evidence for the model of hot dark sunspots is presented. Estimates are given of the thermal power of sunspots as sources of solar wind energy and heating of the corona. A possible mechanism for the acceleration of solar wind particles in the solar atmosphere is proposed, which is based on the principle of the Laval nozzle.

Keeping the plasma stable throughout the plasma discharge is now considered a massive undertaking in today’s Tokamaks. In this study, the part that the current rise up phase plays in the total plasma stability was investigated, toroidal magnetic field on IR-T1 Tokamak was altered to reach the least amount of instabilities in current rise up phase. In this experiment, in order to provide rigorous and details affirmation, SVD, FFT and hard X-ray analyses were employed. The results state that with toroidal magnetic field increment to a specific amount (3.10 KV), the plasma experiences the least amount of Mirnov oscillations (almost 25%) and instabilities during current rise up phase.
