Puns and pain in Palestine
Authors: Vashisht Natasha W.
Published: October 2024

Ahmed Masoud’s The Shroud Maker packs a powerful punch in using the implicative potential of black comedy as a site of resistance. Masoud deploys black comedy to resist and assert control over the exploitative discourse and action against the Palestinians living in Gaza. He does this by using black humour as a tool of alienation to detach people from their trauma, break the fourth wall to make the audience complicit, as a weapon to challenge Israeli dominant discourse, and to assert Palestinian control over the war’s narrative. Dark humour walks the thin line between humour and conflict in the play where “battered by injustice, but still defiant,” the eighty-four-year-old protagonist, Hajja Souad, a shroud maker by profession, introduces trauma through humour and then tips the balance in favour of trauma. Through her offensive jokes and satiric thrust, the play confronts the desensitisation of violence against Palestinians by evoking a reaction in the audience—laughter, followed by reflection on their laughter. While the balancing act between humour and trauma is maintained, The Shroud Maker argues that humour is perhaps the most effective way of communicating and ascribing responsibility to its spectators. Ahmed Masoud puts forth an alternative way of discussing political violence and war beyond the dominant western narrative that marginalises the Palestinian voice. Relaying the tragedy of violence and culture wars through dark humour underscores the message of resistance, coping and persistence in Palestine.

This report, based on the author’s field materials, is devoted to the consideration of the current state of the priesthood of the Trans-Kama (Eastern) Udmurts. It is shown that since the 1990s, with the revival of religious traditions, significant changes have taken place in the organization of the priests’ activities, dictated by the modern realities of life. The main criterion for their choice was the presence of positive moral qualities, in some cases their belonging to the “priestly family”.
Bringing Protection Home: Spatially Mapping the Performance of Medieval Charms Against Thieves
Authors:   Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of Kent, Canterbury, UK, Taylor Heather A.
Published: October 2024

This article examines charms against thieves in medieval English manuscripts that make explicit mention of the domestic residence and its environs. In doing so, it considers a particular medieval anxiety around transgression of the property’s boundary lines. By identifying instructions for the practitioner contained within the texts and their associated rubrics, the article imagines how the performance of these charms may have looked in practice, and how, in some cases, there is a parallel with the parish ritual of ‘beating the bounds’. It argues that the performance of these charms creates a relationship between the practitioner, the words of the invocation, and the space in which the charms are recited, and that this performance is a means of asserting ownership and exerting control over the domestic residence, as well as averting the danger posed by potential thieves.
Cosmogonic Conceptions of the Udmurt People in Naming Stars and Their Images in Folklore
Authors:   Department of Research in Philology, Udmurt Institute of History, Language and Literature, UdmFRC UB RAS, Izhevsk, Russia, Vladykina Tatiana
Published: October 2024

The cosmogonic concepts of the Udmurt people can be detected through the names of stars, the names of which are usually based on mythological cognition. Additional and very significant information about space objects is contained in folklore texts. The images of stars are included in a stable triad of heavenly bodies along with the sun and moon. Their constant feature is ‘bright’ light, opposed to images of negative energy, forces of darkness – diseases or sorcerers. Therefore, images of stars are frequently used in charms, where they are presented as an insurmountable barrier to those who do evil. The stars, along with the sun and moon, became metaphors and comparisons in the song culture, prayers and charms of the Udmurt people. They are used as analogies in the characterization of family and kinship ties, testifying the relationships within the clan. The stars and constellations, when seen as symbols of unattainability and indivisibility, are a kind of guarantor of stability of the world.
Mental illness detection through harvesting social media: a comprehensive literature review
Authors: Shah Shahid Munir , Aljawarneh Mahmoud Mohammad , Saleem Muhammad Aamer , Jawarneh Mahmoud Saleh
Published: October 2024

Mental illness is a common disease that at its extremes leads to personal and societal suffering. A complicated multi-factorial disease, mental illness is influenced by a number of socioeconomic and clinical factors, including individual risk factors. Traditionally, approaches relying on personal interviews and filling out questionnaires have been employed to diagnose mental illness; however, these manual procedures have been found to be frequently prone to errors and unable to reliably identify individuals with mental illness. Fortunately, people with mental illnesses frequently express their ailments on social media, making it possible to more precisely identify mental disease by harvesting their social media posts. This study offers a thorough analysis of how to identify mental illnesses (more specifically, depression) from users’ social media data. Along with the explanation of data acquisition, preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification techniques, the most recent published literature is presented to give the readers a thorough understanding of the subject. Since, in the recent past, the majority of the relevant scientific community has focused on using machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models to identify mental illness, so the review also focuses on these techniques and along with their detail, their critical analysis is presented. More than 100 DL, ML, and natural language processing (NLP) based models developed for mental illness in the recent past have been reviewed, and their technical contributions and strengths are discussed. There exist multiple review studies, however, discussing extensive recent literature along with the complete road map on how to design a mental illness detection system using social media data and ML and DL classification methods is limited. The review also includes detail on how a dataset may be acquired from social media platforms, how it is preprocessed, and features are extracted from it to employ for mental illness detection. Hence, we anticipate that this review will help readers learn more and give them a comprehensive road map for identifying mental illnesses using users’ social media data.

Heat stress, low mango yields and inconsistent fruit quality are main challenges for growers. Recently, licorice-root extract (LRE) has been utilized to enhance vegetative growth, yield, and tolerance to abiotic stresses in fruit trees. Potassium sorbate (PS) also plays a significant role in various physiological and biochemical processes that are essential for mango growth, quality and abiotic stress tolerance. This work aimed to elucidate the effects of foliar sprays containing LRE and PS on the growth, yield, fruit quality, total chlorophyll content, and antioxidant enzymes of ‘Osteen’ mango trees. The mango trees were sprayed with LRE at 0, 2, 4 and 6 g/L and PS 0, 1, 2, and 3 mM. In mid-May, the mango trees were sprayed with a foliar solution, followed by monthly applications until 1 month before harvest. The results showed that trees with the highest concentration (6 g/L) of LRE exhibited the maximum leaf area, followed by those treated with the highest concentration (3 mM) of PS. Application of LRE and PS to Osteen mango trees significantly enhanced fruit weight, number of fruits per tree, yield (kg/tree), yield increasing%, and reduced number of sun-burned fruits compared to the control. LRE and PS foliar sprays to Osteen mango trees significantly enhanced fruit total soluble solids ˚Brix, TSS/acid ratio, and vitamin C content compared to the control. Meanwhile, total acidity percentage in ‘Osteen’ mango fruits significantly decreased after both LRE and PS foliar sprays. ‘Osteen’ mango trees showed a significant increase in leaf area, total chlorophyll content, total pigments, and leaf carotenoids. Our results suggest that foliar sprays containing LRE and PS significantly improved growth parameters, yield, fruit quality, antioxidant content, and total pigment concentration in ‘Osteen’ mango trees. Moreover, the most effective treatments were 3 mM PS and 6 g/L LRE. LRE and PS foliar spray caused a significant increase in yield percentage by 305.77%, and 232.44%, in the first season, and 242.55%, 232.44% in the second season, respectively.
A novel gene silencing strategy based on tobacco rattle virus in Hibiscus mutabilis
Authors: Sang Shiye , Liu Yiqiong , Li Xiu , Ma Jiao , Liu Xiaoli , Yang Yuanzhao
Published: October 2024

Background

Hibiscus mutabilis L. is a popular regional characteristic plant in China, cultivated for its attractive flower colors, extended bloom time, and medicinal properties. To enhance molecular breeding and gene function studies, we conducted transcriptome analysis and identified valuable genes in previous research. Nonetheless, the current inefficient and labor-intensive transformation techniques have hindered their applications. Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) provides a precise and effective strategy for post-transcriptional down-regulation of endogenous gene expression.

Methods

We investigated the performance of tobacco rattle virus (TRV) as a tool for targeting and silencing the gene encoding the protein involved in chloroplast development, cloroplastos alterados 1 (altered chloroplast; CLA1), of H. mutabilis through Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated infiltration.

Results

By effectively suppressing the CLA1 gene associated with chloroplast development in H. mutabilis via the TRV-VIGS system, we have illustrated the inaugural implementation of VIGS in this species. Quantitative RT-PCR proved that HmCLA1 expression in agro-infiltrated plants was lower than in the mock-infiltrated (mock) and the control (CK) plants. Phenotypic observations corroborated the albino phenotype in leaves following successful HmCLA1 silencing.

Conclusions

Our study showcases TRV-VIGS as a potential gene silencing tool for H. mutabilis, facilitating functional genomics studies and molecular breeding efforts in this species.

Belleza y calidad de vida en intervenciones estatales de espacios públicos
Authors: Gamboa Wallberg Pía
Published: October 2024

Este estudio examina la incorporación de la estética en los espacios públicos de sectores socioeconómicamente vulnerables en áreas metropolitanas chilenas, explorando su relación con la política, gobernanza e ideología. Se basa en la premisa de que la belleza y la confortabilidad son esenciales para una buena calidad de vida, aspectos clave en la búsqueda del derecho a la ciudad (Ducci, 2007).
La metodología se centra en la revisión de programas gubernamentales y textos académicos, con un enfoque en los gobiernos de Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle (1994-2000) y Ricardo Lagos Escobar (2000-2006). El marco teórico aborda cómo los planes urbanos han integrado discursos estéticos, influyendo en la calidad de vida y el apego al lugar, a partir de los conceptos de Lefebvre sobre la producción del espacio y su impacto en las relaciones de poder.
Se analizan los programas de Frei y Lagos, enfocados en una Política de la Pobreza según Abufhele (2019), particularmente en barrios vulnerables. La hipótesis sugiere que este enfoque diferenció el tratamiento de los espacios públicos. Para evaluar esta hipótesis, se examinan los parques Mahuidahue y Cerrillos y las evaluaciones de sus usuarios.

Cleaning As A Rising Trend Among Social Media Celebrities Around The World
Authors: Günay YAVUZ Uğur , YILDIZ Ahmet Sait
Published: October 2024

Nowadays, people's purposes for using social media platforms have gone beyond socializing or communicating with acquaintances. The ease, speed and accessibility of communication they offer have made these channels extremely popular,
facilitating mutual communication and interaction beyond traditional mass media. At the same time, this medium has gained a feature where you can create and share different content and thus gain significant profits. Within the
scope of this study, we aim to compare and analyze the profiles that create and share cleaning videos, which have recently attracted a lot of attention on social media platforms. We believe that the concept of catharsis plays an
important role in the popularity of these videos. Instagram was chosen as the main platform of this study, and profiles that produced and shared cleaning videos both from Turkey and abroad were chosen as the discussion sample.
After reviewing the literature on the subject, we analyzed Instagram profiles, posts and comments associated with these posts. Being an influencer has become one of the highest-earning professions of our age and one that young
people dream of. People from various geographies, age groups, ethnic origins, income levels, educational levels, socio-cultural and ideological perspectives are actively involved in this medium. They build a following and generate
income through their posts. It's clear that standing out from the crowd, delivering content with visual impact, and building a significant follower base is crucial to success in the social media influencer space.

Published: October 2024

Bu araştırma makalesi namus ile ilgili tartışmaların ekşi sözlük platformunda nasıl şekillendiği ve hangi kodlara sahip olduğu merakından doğmuştur. Çalışmanın amacı literatürde namus özelinde kayda geçen sosyolojik ve tarihsel verinin,
sanal ortamdaki tartışmalar ile olan ilişkisini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Metafor analizi çalışmanın yöntemidir. Ekşi sözlük platformunda namus ile ilgili 177 paylaşımın analizi yapılmış ve kırk (40) metafora ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen
veri yığınını daha anlaşılır hale getirmek için çeşitli başlıklar oluşturulmuş ve ilgili veriler bu başlıklara dağıtılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda “vicdan, ahlak, koruma/denetleme, kültür, siyaset/ideoloji ve diğer” başlıkları oluşturulmuştur.
Yorumlar büyük ölçüde vicdan, ahlak ve kültür başlığında yoğunlaşmıştır. Vicdan boyutunda bireyin verecek utandırıcı hesabının olmaması, vicdani rahatlık; ahlak boyutunda ise ahlaksızlık yapmaktan utanma, ahlak kurallarına bağlılık,
mutluluk, dürüstlük ve kendini aklama yorumları öne çıkmıştır. Namus, ahlaki vicdan ve içselleştirilen otorite olarak bir denetim mekanizması işlevi görmektedir. Namus bu yönüyle bireye mutluluk veren bir disiplin çizgisi olup
güvenli alanın sınırlarını belirlemektedir. Kültür temasında ise namus, çocuğun sahibinin belli olmasına yarayan bir toplumsal araç gereç olarak ele alınmıştır. Geleneksel görgünün uzantısı olarak algılanan namus Anadolu mezesi,
ipek mendil, cildindeki şeytan, kuş, kitle imha silahı, toplumsal araç-gereç, isyankârlık, baskı aracı, denetim mekanizması, disiplin, dürüstlük, söz, sömürü, hukuk, mülkiyet şeklindeki metaforlar üzerinden yorumlanmıştır. Namusun
siyasi söylemde öne çıkan sömürgecilik, iktidarın inşası /meşrulaştırılması, milliyetçilik, vatan ve sınır argümanlarıyla ilişkisi zayıf düzeydedir.

Sivas'ın güneybatısındaki Çongar köyü, il merkezine 63 km uzaklıktadır. İlbeyli Türkmenlerinin yaşadığı köy, Sivas’taki 42 İlbeyli köyünden biridir. Çongar köyünde Osmanlı Dönemi’ne ait özgün plan şemasını ve bezeme özelliklerini büyük
ölçüde korumuş olan bir cami tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Sivas ili, merkez ilçesine bağlı Çongar köyünde yer alan cami, mimari ve süsleme özellikleri bakımından tanıtılacak ve değerlendirilecektir. 1876-1877 yılında inşa edilen
kare planlı cami, üç sahınlı harim ile kuzey duvarına bitişik olarak yerleştirilmiş müştemilat bölümünden oluşmaktadır. Cami, güney cephedeki üç, doğu cephedeki bir pencereyle aydınlatılmıştır. Düz ahşap atkılı pencereler, dikdörtgen
formludur. Caminin kuzey duvarına bitişik olarak yapılmış olan müştemilat doğu-batı doğrultusunda dikdörtgen planlıdır. Bu müştemilat, doğu duvarındaki iki mazgal pencere ile aydınlatılmaktadır. Kabayonu taş ve moloz taş ile yığma
tekniğinde inşa edilen cami, ahşap tavanlıdır. Caminin iç beden duvarları yeşil boyalı olup üzerinde duvar resimleri bulunmaktadır. Bitkisel süslemeli bir bordürün dolaştığı güney, doğu ve batı duvarda; vazodan çıkan çiçek ve çiçek
demetleri gibi bitkisel süslemeler, Kâbe, Mescid-i Aksa ve cami gibi mimari tasvirler, manzara kompozisyonları ile dini içerikli ayet ve yazılardan oluşan hat süslemeler bulunmaktadır. Yapı, mimari özelliklerinden ziyade Osmanlı
dönemi duvar resimleri geleneğini yansıtması ve devam ettirmesi bakımından önem taşımaktadır. Korunması gereken kültür varlığı olarak tescillenmiş olan bakımsız durumdaki Çongar Köyü Eski Camisi’nin özgün durumuna uygun onarılarak
gelecek nesillere aktarılması elzemdir.

Kültür ve tarih hem korunması hem de gelecek nesillere aktarılması gereken iki önemli değerdir. Bu iki bileşeni de içeren geleneksel yapılar kentsel ve toplumsal bellek açısından da ayrıca önemlidir. Bundan dolayı tarihi yapıların
korunması, onarılması ve yaşatılması çok değerlidir. Kültürden eğitime, sosyal yaşantıdan turizme kadar her alanda katkısı olan tarihi yapılar ile ilgili çalışmaların yürütülmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada İstanbul ili Çatalca
ilçesinde bulunan, mülkiyeti farklı kişilerde olmakla birlikte iç içe geçmiş iki konuta dair restorasyon ve yeni işlev verilerek yaşatılmasına yönelik kararların alınması amaçlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda yapıların rölöveleri dijital
ve klasik yöntem ile hazırlanmış, ilk özelliklerini göstermeye yönelik restitüsyon çalışması yapılmış ve tüm veriler değerlendirilerek restorasyon ve yeniden kullanıma yönelik kararlar oluşturulmuştur. Mevcut fonksiyonu ile kullanımının
mümkün olmayacağı değerlendirilmiş ve mimarlık/tasarım ofisi işlevi verilerek değerlendirilmesi gerektiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışma hem tarihi yapıların yaşatılması hem de sahip oldukları değerleri korumak amacıyla kararlar
içermesi dolayısıyla önemlidir. Ayrıca bitişik nizamda olmalarına rağmen amorf bir birleşim göstermeleri ile bunun sebeplerine yönelik analizleri de içeren çalışma bir farklılık göstermektedir. Çalışmanın sadece bu bölgede bulunan
yapıların değil aynı zamanda diğer alanlarda bulunan tarihi konutların farklı işlev verilerek değerlendirilmesine de katkı sağlayacağı değerlendirilmektedir. Bitişik olan ancak girift yapıda bulunan konutların özelliklerinin belirlenmesinde
ve bunlara yönelik nasıl kararların alınabileceği noktasında da bir kaynak teşkil etmektedir.

Türk Müziği Usûlleri’nin tarif ve tasnif edilişlerine yönelik kuram, kavram ve kaidelerin tam manası ile anlaşılabilmesi için kadim ile cedid arasındaki farka hâkimiyet zaruri bir durum olmaktadır. Zira Türk Müziği’nin nazari her cihetinin
yaşadığı değişim/dönüşümlerden usûl kuramı da etkilenmiştir. Bu etki içerisinde ortaya çıkan öncü çalışmalar son dönem Osmanlı sürecinde Rauf Yekta Bey, erken Cumhuriyet dönemi sürecinde ise Dr. Suphi Ezgi ve Hüseyin Sadeddin Arel
Bey’lere ait çalışmalar olmaktadırlar. Bahse konu bu çalışmaların ve dahi müelliflerin ortak noktaları, temelde Batı Müziği ölçü yapılarından etkilenilerek, esinlenilerek oluşturmaya çalıştıkları usûl-ölçüóölçü-usûl yaklaşımları
ve bu yaklaşımlar dâhilinde meydana gelen Modern Türk Müziği Kuramı içerisindeki usûl tasnifleridir. Bu nedenlerden ötürü de bu makalede Batı Müziği ölçü tasniflerinden esinlenilerek oluşturulan ve Cumhuriyet dönemi içerisinde
de kaideleşen Türk Müziği Usûl tasnifleri üzerinde durulmaktadır. Çalışmada ilk olarak Batı Müziği nazariyatındaki -basit ve birleşik ölçü- yapıları ifade edilmiştir. Akabinde, bu -basit ve birleşik ölçü- yapılarının Türk Müziği
Usûlleri’nin tasnifine nasıl adapte edildiği, kuramın temelini teşkil eden Türk Müziği kaynakları ve kuramcıları üzerinden izah edilmiştir. Bahse konu tasnifin kaideleri olan -basitlik, birleşiklik, küçüklük, büyüklük- kavramları,
kuramın da temelini teşkil eden Batı Müziği ölçü yapıları bakımından da mukayese edilerek, kuram açısından gerekliliği, kuramı ifade etme noktasındaki yeterliliği hususları bakımından da irdelenmeye ve izah edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
Bu bağlamda, çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi ve tarama modeli kullanılmış, veriler kaynak tarama ve doküman inceleme veri toplama teknikleri aracılığıyla elde edilmiştir. Modern Türk Müziği Kuramı’nın genel yaklaşımlarının bir
tezahürü olarak meydana getirilen Türk Müziği Usûl Tasnifleri’nin usûlleri, kuram ve icrâ dinamikleri bakımından izah, ifade, tarif ve tasnif etme noktalarında yetersiz kaldığı sonucu belirgin bir şekilde ortaya konulmuştur.

Mitigation strategies based on plant–microbe interactions to increase the performance of plants under water-deficit conditions are well documented. However, little is known about a suitable consortium of bacterial inoculants and underlying physiological and enzymatic events to improve drought tolerance in maize. This study aimed to investigate the synergistic interactions among plant growth-promoting bacteria to alleviate drought-induced damages in maize. In pot culture experiment endophytic bacterial consortium inoculated treatments imposed with moisture stress (75% water holding capacity) with full dose (T9) and 75% recommended dose of fertilizers (T8) were found to excel in many plant biochemical properties when compared to un-inoculated control. For instance chlorophyll stability index T9 (138.67%) T8 (133.33%), relative water content T9 (95.20%), The N, P and K uptake was found significantly higher in T9 with 13.98 g plant-1, 3.38 g plant-1 and 17.29 g plant-1 respectively. Thus, the current research advocates the use of endophytic microbial consortium to mitigate moisture stress and to improve plant biochemical properties which ultimately enhances the plant health and yield.

An experiment was conducted in the Experimental Farm, Department of Horticulture, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat to study the effect of time of sowing on growth, yield and quality of the fruit and standardize the optimum time of sowing in watermelon.
The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomised Block Design with two varieties- Saraswati (V1) and Kiran (V2) and five different time of sowing- October(M1), November (M2), December (M3), January (M4) and February (M5). Observations on growth, yield and quality parameters were recorded at 60, 90 and 120 days after sowing.
Results revealed that the variety Kiran sown in November recorded significantly the highest female flowers per plant (11.33), fruit set percentage (27.98 %) and fruit retention percentage (44.04 %). In addition this treatment combination was also able to register the maximum number of fruits per plant (2.67), fruit weight (4.32 kilogram), yield per plant (9.77 kilogram), yield per ha (44.58 tonnes), Total Soluble Solids (9.97 0 Brix), total sugar (9.12 %) and ascorbic acid (7.03 milligram per 100 gram).
Thus, it may be inferred that watermelon variety Kiran sown in the month of November was the best treatment combination in terms of yield and yield attributing parameters and quality parameters as well.

Global demand for food is increasing daily due to increase in population growth. Hence to meet these food demands for the growing population crop productivity must be enhanced. Plant pests and diseases are major threats to crop productivity causing an annual reduction of 20 to 40% in global crop production. For management of these pest and diseases spraying using manual sprayers is quite laborious and also not precise.  Further manual spraying is hazardous to farmer’s health, World Health Organization (WHO) reported one million incidences of illness as a result of manually application of insecticides to crop fields. As a result, new automated drone technology techniques were unveiled. This review examines the application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) sprayers in modern agriculture, highlighting their transformative role in enhancing crop management and increasing efficiency. UAV technology has emerged as a vital tool for precision agriculture, offering benefits such as targeted pesticide and fertilizer application, reduced labor costs, and minimized environmental impact. This paper discusses the various types of UAV sprayers, their operational mechanisms, and the advantages they provide over traditional methods. Additionally, we explore challenges associated with UAV adoption, including regulatory issues, technical limitations, and the need for operator training. The review emphasizes the future potential of UAV sprayers in sustainable agriculture, suggesting that continued advancements in technology and regulatory frameworks will further integrate UAVs into mainstream agricultural practices.

Climate change is expected to have significant and uncertain impacts on methane (CH4) emissions from northern peatlands. Biogeochemical models can extrapolate site‐specificCH4 measurements to larger scales and predict responses of CH4 emissions to environmental changes. However, these models include considerable uncertainties and limitations in representing CH4 production, consumption, and transport processes. To improve predictions of CH4 transformations, we incorporated acetate and stable carbon (C) isotopic dynamics associated with CH4 cycling into a biogeochemistry model, DNDC. By including these new features, DNDC explicitly simulates acetate dynamics and the relative contribution of acetotrophic and hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis (AM and HM) to CH4 production, and predicts the C isotopic signature (δ13C) in soil C pools and emitted gases. When tested against biogeochemical and microbial community observations at two sites in a zone of thawing permafrost in a subarctic peatland in Sweden, the new formulation substantially improved agreement with CH4 production pathways and δ13C in emitted CH4 (δ13C‐CH4), a measure of the integrated effects of microbial production and consumption, and of physical transport. We also investigated the sensitivity of simulated δ13C‐CH4 to C isotopic composition of substrates and, to fractionation factors for CH4 production (αAM and αHM), CH4 oxidation (αMO), and plant‐mediated CH4 transport (αTP). The sensitivity analysis indicated that the δ13C‐CH4 is highly sensitive to the factors associated with microbial metabolism (αAM, αHM, and αMO). The model framework simulating stable C isotopic dynamics provides a robust basis for better constraining and testing microbial mechanisms in predicting CH4 cycling in peatlands.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing in prevalence worldwide and has been identified as a risk factor for cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, there is no effective pharmacologic treatment for NAFLD. FABP1 is a liver‐specific fatty acid‐binding protein (FABP) that plays important roles in intracellular lipid metabolism in the liver. We investigated the effect of repression of FABP1 expression on NAFLD, using adenovirus‐mediated silencing of FABP1. FABP1 knockdown in the liver decreased the liver weight and hepatic triglyceride (TG) accumulation. The expression of inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in the liver was also reduced. The level of thiobarbituric acid‐reactive substances, a marker of lipid peroxidation, in the liver of FABP1 knockdown mice was significantly decreased. These results suggest that FABP1 reduction in the liver is an effective approach against NAFLD.

Wound healing is a complex biological process that involves integration of hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and tissue remodeling. An extract of pineapple (Ananas comosus) stem demonstrates several therapeutics properties, including acceleration of wound healing. Tacorin is a water crude extract derived from the stem of A. comosus with high protein content. The effect of tacorin on wound healing in vivo was examined using rats with an induced injury. Wound closure was faster with tacorin treatment than in the untreated group. An in vitro study was conducted on mammalian cells (3T3‐L1) to observe the effect of tacorin on cell proliferation. Tacorin was first heated to inactivate its proteolytic activity. It increased the viability of 3T3‐L1 cells in a dose‐dependent manner. Excessive inflammation was suppressed by tacorin as shown by decreased tumor necrosis factor α expression. Treatment with tacorin increased the expression of transforming growth factor β, a major player in tissue remodeling. Moreover, tacorin also reduced the expression of MMP‐2 to accelerate the recovery of the wound. Taken together, tacorin is able to accelerate the wound‐healing process by increasing cell proliferation, suppressing inflammation and accelerating tissue remodeling.

Objective

To assess performance of the 2016 macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) classification criteria for patients with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) who develop MAS while treated with biologic medications.

Methods

A systematic literature review was performed to identify patients with MAS while being treated with interleukin (IL)‐1 and IL‐6 blocking agents. Clinical and laboratory information was compared to a large previously compiled historical cohort.

Results

Eighteen publications were identified, and after removing duplicates, 35 patients treated with canakinumab and 49 patients with tocilizumab were available for analysis; 5 anakinra‐treated patients were excluded due to limited numbers. MAS classification criteria were less likely to classify tocilizumab‐treated patients as having MAS compared to the historical cohort or canakinumab‐treated patients (56.7%, 78.5%, and 84%, respectively; P < 0.01). Patients who developed MAS while treated with canakinumab trended towards lower ferritin at MAS onset than the historical cohort (4,050 versus 5,353 ng/ml; P = 0.18) but had no differences in other cardinal clinical or laboratory features. In comparison, patients who developed MAS while treated with tocilizumab were less likely febrile and had notably lower ferritin levels (1,152 versus 5,353 ng/ml; P < 0.001). Other features of MAS were more pronounced in patients treated with tocilizumab, including lower platelet counts, lower fibrinogen, and higher aspartate aminotransferase levels. Mortality rates for patients with MAS treated with tocilizumab or canakinumab were not significantly different from the historical cohort.

Conclusion

These findings show substantial alterations in MAS features that may limit utility of defined criteria for diagnosis of systemic JIA patients treated with biologic agents.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a main cause of chemotherapy failure in cancer treatment. It is associated with complex cellular and molecular mechanisms including overexpression of drug efflux transporters, increased membrane rigidity, and impaired apoptosis. Numerous efforts have been made to overcome efflux transporter‐mediated MDR using nanotechnology‐based approaches. However, these approaches fail to surmount plasma membrane rigidity that attenuates drug penetration and nanoparticle endocytosis. Here, a “one‐two punch” nanoparticle approach is proposed to coordinate intracellular biointeraction and bioreaction of a nanocarrier material docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and an anticancer prodrug mitomycin C (MMC) to enhance mitochondrion‐targeted toxicity. Incorporation of DHA in solid polymer‐lipid nanoparticles first reduces the membrane rigidity in live cancer cells thereby increasing nanoparticle cellular uptake and MMC accumulation. Subsequent intracellular MMC bioreduction produces free radicals that in turn react with adjacent DHA inducing significantly elevated mitochondrial lipid peroxidation, leading to irreversible damage to mitochondria. Preferential tumor accumulation of the nanoparticles and the synergistic anticancer cytotoxicity remarkably inhibit tumor growth and prolonged host survival without any systemic toxicity in an orthotopic MDR breast tumor model. This work suggests that combinatorial use of biophysical and biochemical properties of nanocarrier materials with bioreactive prodrugs is a powerful approach to overcoming multifactorial MDR in cancer.

Fluorine‐based additives have a tremendously beneficial effect on the performance of lithium‐ion batteries, yet the origin of this phenomenon is unclear. This paper shows that the formation of a solid‐electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the anode surface in the first five charge/discharge cycles is affected by the stereochemistry of the electrolyte molecules on the anode surface starting at open‐circuit potential (OCP). This study shows an anode‐specific model system, the reduction of 1,2‐diethoxy ethane with lithium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide, as a salt on an amorphous silicon anode, and compares the electrochemical response and SEI formation to its fluorinated version, bis(2,2,2‐trifluoroethoxy) ethane (BTFEOE), by sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy under reaction conditions. The SFG results suggest that the CF3 end‐groups of the linear ether BTFEOE change their adsorption orientation on the a‐Si surface at OCP, leading to a better protective layer. Supporting evidence from ex situ scanning electron microscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth profiling measurements shows that the fluorinated ether, BTFEOE, yields a smooth SEI on the a‐Si surface and enables lithium ions to intercalate deeper into the a‐Si bulk.
