Published: August 2023

Purpose Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a hereditary disorder caused by germline mutation in TP53. Owing to the rarity of LFS, data on its clinical features are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of Korean patients with LFS.Materials and Methods Patients who underwent genetic counseling and confirmed with germline TP53 mutation in the National Cancer Center in Korea between 2011 and 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Data on family history with pedigree, types of mutation, clinical features, and prognosis were collected.Results Fourteen patients with LFS were included in this study. The median age at diagnosis of the first tumor was 32 years. Missense and nonsense mutations were observed in 13 and one patients, respectively. The repeated mutations were p.Arg273His, p.Ala138Val, and pPro190Leu. The sister with breast cancer harbored the same mutation of p.Ala138Val. Seven patients had multiple primary cancers. Breast cancer was most frequently observed, and other types of tumor included sarcoma, thyroid cancer, pancreatic cancer, brain tumor, adrenocortical carcinoma, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, colon cancer, vaginal cancer, skin cancer, and leukemia. The median follow-up period was 51.5 months. Two and four patients showed local recurrence and distant metastasis, respectively. Two patients died of leukemia and pancreatic cancer 3 and 23 months after diagnosis, respectively.Conclusion This study provides information on different characteristics of patients with LFS, including types of mutation, types of cancer, and prognostic outcomes. For more appropriate management of these patients, proper genetic screening and multidisciplinary discussion are required.
Prognostic role of metformin in diabetes mellitus type 2 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Cigrovski Berkovic Maja , Giovanardi Francesco , Mrzljak Anna , Lai Quirino
Published: August 2023

The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is growing in epidemic proportions and has become one of the most critical public health concerns. Cardiovascular complications associated with diabetes are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The cardiovascular diseases that accompany diabetes include angina, myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral artery disease, and congestive heart failure. Among the various risk factors generated secondary to hyperglycemic situations, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are one of the important targets for future diagnosis and prevention of diabetes. In the last decade, AGEs have drawn a lot of attention due to their involvement in diabetic patho-physiology. AGEs can be derived exogenously and endogenously through various pathways. These are a nonhomogeneous, chemically diverse group of compounds formed nonenzymatically by condensation between carbonyl groups of reducing sugars and free amino groups of protein, lipids, and nucleic acid. AGEs mediate their pathological effects at the cellular and extracellular levels by multiple pathways. At the cellular level, they activate signaling cascades via the receptor for AGEs and initiate a complex series of intracellular signaling resulting in reactive oxygen species generation, inflammation, cellular proliferation, and fibrosis that may possibly exacerbate the damaging effects on cardiac functions in diabetics. AGEs also cause covalent modifications and cross-linking of serum and extracellular matrix proteins; altering their structure, stability, and functions. Early diagnosis of diabetes may prevent its progression to complications and decrease its associated comorbidities. In the present review, we recapitulate the role of AGEs as a crucial mediator of hyperglycemia-mediated detrimental effects in diabetes-associated complications. Furthermore, this review presents an overview of future perspectives for new therapeutic interventions to ameliorate cardiovascular complications in diabetes.

Colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) is defined as a specific cluster of colorectal cancers that develop as a result of prolonged colitis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Patients with IBD, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, are known to have an increased risk of developing CAC. Although the incidence of CAC has significantly decreased over the past few decades, individuals with CAC have increased mortality compared to individuals with sporadic colorectal cancer, and the incidence of CAC increases with duration. Chronic inflammation is generally recognized as a major contributor to the pathogenesis of CAC. CAC has been shown to progress from colitis to dysplasia and finally to carcinoma. Accumulating evidence suggests that multiple immune-mediated pathways, DNA damage pathways, and pathogens are involved in the pathogenesis of CAC. Over the past decade, there has been an increasing effort to develop clinical approaches that could help improve outcomes for CAC patients. Colonoscopic surveillance plays an important role in reducing the risk of advanced and interval cancers. It is generally recommended that CAC patients undergo endoscopic removal or colectomy. This review summarizes the current understanding of CAC, particularly its epidemiology, mechanisms, and management. It focuses on the mechanisms that contribute to the development of CAC, covering advances in genomics, immunology, and the microbiome; presents evidence for management strategies, including endoscopy and colectomy; and discusses new strategies to interfere with the process and development of CAC. These scientific findings will pave the way for the management of CAC in the near future.

Trade-offs in Static and Dynamic Evaluation of Hierarchical Queries
Authors: Kara Ahmet , Nikolic Milos , Olteanu Dan , Zhang Haozhe
Published: August 2023

We investigate trade-offs in static and dynamic evaluation of hierarchical
queries with arbitrary free variables. In the static setting, the trade-off is
between the time to partially compute the query result and the delay needed to
enumerate its tuples. In the dynamic setting, we additionally consider the time
needed to update the query result under single-tuple inserts or deletes to the
database.
Our approach observes the degree of values in the database and uses different
computation and maintenance strategies for high-degree (heavy) and low-degree
(light) values. For the latter it partially computes the result, while for the
former it computes enough information to allow for on-the-fly enumeration.
We define the preprocessing time, the update time, and the enumeration delay
as functions of the light/heavy threshold. By appropriately choosing this
threshold, our approach recovers a number of prior results when restricted to
hierarchical queries.
We show that for a restricted class of hierarchical queries, our approach
achieves worst-case optimal update time and enumeration delay conditioned on
the Online Matrix-Vector Multiplication Conjecture.
Habilidades socioemocionales en adolescentes de nivel bachillerato tras la pandemia
Authors: Morlett-Villa Zaida Francisca
Published: August 2023

La adquisición y apropiación de Habilidades se da como resultado de la interacción social física, algo que ocurría hasta el año 2019, previo a la pandemia; lo que se recolectó en esta investigación de 2021 a 2022, fue información valiosa y excepcional de adolescentes en confinamiento.

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo con diferenciación por género en una muestra representativa aleatoria simple, de 374 estudiantes del nivel bachillerato en la Unidad Saltillo de la Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila, lo que permitió conocer los capitales con que ellos cuentan, su percepción de emociones y realidad atípica, sentimientos y visión.

Con los resultados, se reafirma que es primero en el entorno familiar, para después en la interacción física social, donde se adquieren, desarrollan y refuerzan las habilidades-capitales- necesarias para la competencia en todas las etapas de la vida. Sin embargo, durante el periodo de confinamiento, la socialización, comunicación e intercambio en la muestra seleccionada, y en general de toda la población, se redujo considerablemente, por lo que las habilidades tanto de pensamiento como sociales se vieron afectadas de forma negativa, lo que no permite acrecentar ni interiorizar el acervo de significados; pero se desarrollaron otras de supervivencia y adaptación para continuar con las pocas actividades virtuales o de recreación.

Abstract 

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of Moringa oleifera (MO) leaf extract in drinking water on the blood profile of finisher broilers. A total of 140 broiler chickens at 21 days old were randomly allocated to 28 cages. Body weight per cage was 4433 ± 242.8 g (CV 5.48%). The experimental design was a completely randomized design with 4 (four) treatments and 7 replications. The four treatments were: P1 (1 L drinking water + 0 g MO leaves), P2 (1 L drinking water + 25 g MO leaves), P3 (1 L drinking water + 50 g MO leaves), and P4 (1 L drinking water + 75 g MO leaves). Moringa oleifera water was given with the patron of 3 days "on" and 2 days "off". Commercial feed was given ad libitum during the study. The variables measured were total erythrocytes, leukocytes, heterophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, Packed Cell Volume (PCV), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH), and Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC). The results showed that the treatment had no significant effect (P>0.05) on all the variables measured. In conclusion, administration of Moringa oleifera leaf up to 75 grams in drinking water did not affect the blood profile of finisher broilers.

Published: August 2023

Reliability analysis of a power tiller involves studying the probability of its performance and functionality over a given period. This analysis aims to identify the factors that affect the reliability of the power tiller and to determine ways to improve its performance. The reliability of a power tiller can be evaluated using different methods such as statistical analysis, probability theory, and simulation modelling. These methods enable the assessment of the power tiller's performance in different operating conditions and help to identify the critical components that contribute to its overall reliability. Some of the factors that affect the reliability of a power tiller include its design, manufacturing process, maintenance, and the environment in which it operates. The reliability analysis of a power tiller also involves identifying the failure modes and effects of different components and determining the probability of these failures occurring.

Published: August 2023

The performance of the rocket is determined by atomization, mixing and combustion process. Injectors are used to control these processes. Suitable method should be followed, so that the performance should be increased. The injector implementation in rockets determines the performance of the nozzle that can be achieved. Injectors can be as simple as a number of small diameter holes arranged in carefully constructed patterns through which the fuel and oxidizer travel. The performance of an injector can be improved by either using a superior propellant combustion, increasing the mass flow rate, positioning the angle of the hole or by reducing the size & increasing the number of orifices on the injector plate. In here the position is varied for different angles for injectors to improve the performance of the rocket. The injector is modeled using the Solidworks and a two dimensional combustion analysis to be carried out using ANSYS Fluent for different cases.
Rural Poverty and Small land holdings in Gudibanda
Authors: Dr.S.Jayalakshmi Priya
Published: August 2023

Gudibanda a small town in Chickkaballapur district has been selected to study whether small land holdings can remove rural poverty. Five villages were earmarked and 200 samples collected from these villages where simple random sampling was carried out to find if the relation between rural poverty and farmers with small fragmented lands.Most of these small farmers grew vegetables such as brinjals, cowpeas, tomatoes, potatoes and beans. Also commercial flowers such as jasmine, roses, tuberoses and yellow crysanthamums were also cultivated. They earned a very small income of Rs 500 per month for vegetables and around 2000Rs to 2300Rs per month for flower sales that too during the festival months of January to April 2023.Their earnings depended mainly on the market prices that’s the selling rate of the main vegetable market in Gudibandasanthe or village fair. They also sold outside their villages in small groups and also tried transporting to Gudibanda main market. Can cultivating all these small vegetable farms bring income and sustain these flower and vegetable cultivators? Water scarcity coupled with lack of rural employment measures like MNREGA were the root cause of their problems. It was also the main reasons for rural urban migration.The main objective was to see if the cultivation of small farms could fetch moderate income for the farmers. The main suggestion was to adopt cooperative farming minus the problem of middlemen, how to solve the problem of selling in vegetable markets and finally to tackle the problem of rural unemployment and water scarcity.
A review on medicinal plant extract as an Antimicrobial, Antibacterial and Antifungal
Authors: SusheelaKhatwase  , Bhavin Soni
Published: August 2023

Systemic bacterial and fungal infections have increased in recent years as a result of an increase in the amount of disabling disorders that affect the immune system, such as AIDS, blood cancers, overdose, corticosteroid medications, and broad-spectrum antibiotics. Acute and subsequent candida infections with drug-resistance features, such as fluconazole, are common. Because of the frequency and spread of fungal and bacterial illnesses, the search for remedies is more intense than ever. Because of their unique biocompatibility and bioavailability, plant chemicals are beneficial in the treatment of fungal and bacterial infections. The market for new antifungal and antibacterial drugs remains tiny, although resistance to many antibiotics is growing, particularly in patients receiving long-term treatment. Given the vast antibacterial potentials of natural chemicals derived from plants and endophytes, as an alternate source remains poorly unexplored. Endophytes and medicinal plant species have primary and secondary compounds that can hinder or inactivate infections. Many researches on the antibacterial and antifungal properties of these metabolites have recently been published.

This paper presents the design and fabrication of a prototype model of a novel solar tracker that exploits the unique properties of shape memory alloy for its actuator. As against the conventional solar trackers, the proposed tracker does not use a motor for changing the position of the PV cell. The shape memory alloy is in the form of a spring and is used for actuating. SMA spring moves the solar panel to track the Sun during day time and back to its original position at the end of the day. The proposed structure of the tracker not only increases the efficiency but also proves to be compact, light weight and robust.
The early years of Philosophy in the City: A retrospective dialogue
Authors: Artaud de La Ferrière Alexis , Forstenzer Joshua
Published: August 2023

Philosophy in the City (or PinC, as it came to be known) is an outreach programme led by student volunteers from the University of Sheffield's Department of Philosophy. It aims to bring philosophy out of the university and into the wider urban community, stimulating young and older minds through events and activities organised with local partners, including schools, charities, and a homeless shelter. Since its inception in 2006, the project has seen hundreds of student volunteers from the university engage in philosophical conversations with thousands of local residents from a wide variety of backgrounds. Sixteen years on, what can we learn from the achievements and shortfalls of this initiative? The present paper is not a systematic review of the project’s history, but a retrospective dialogue between the two authors who both participated in its foundation and its early development: Alexis Artaud de la Ferrière was the project’s first President and Joshua Forstenzer its third. In the course of this dialogue, they revisit the initial motivations and ambitions undergirding the project, discuss the obstacles faced throughout their respective tenures of leadership, and analyse the evolving mission of the project against the backdrop of historic changes in English higher education which occurred during this period.
Philosophy outreach through teacher education
Authors: Schaffalitzky Caroline
Published: August 2023

Building a university outreach programme is a complex task that requires coordination of funding, regulations, research aims, practical activities and recruitment strategies. This article describes the building of an outreach programme based on the Philosophy with Children practice and the associated changes in the programme’s research focus, practical activities and organisation over the first five years. Where did the initial inspiration come from, what form did it take eventually, and what have we learned? The article outlines our strategies and activities and I argue that two shifts in focus made the programme stronger in terms of impact and research. First, instead of sending university students into classrooms, we turned to teacher training programmes. Second, conversations with teachers indicated that the most interesting research questions were not about cognitive gains but about learning environments, teacher roles, facilitation techniques and other topics from educational studies. The article also assesses the strategies and research from the first six years of the programme and how they have demonstrated both challenges and opportunities in Philosophy with Children.
The philoSURFERS: Reflections on utilising pre-collegiate students as Philosophers in Residence to support the p4c Hawai‘i movement in our public schools
Authors: Miller Chad , Lukey Benjamin , Matsukawa Katie , Shiroma Ceriesse , Fox Emily
Published: August 2023

Since 1984, the philosophy for children (p4c) Hawai‘i movement, a partnership between the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (UHM) and Hawai‘i’s public schools, has experienced success in creating a more philosophical schooling experience. UHM’s Uehiro Academy for Philosophy and Ethics in Education supports this movement by offering a ‘Philosopher in Residence’ who aids teachers in bringing philosophical inquiry into practice (Lukey 2013). Philosophers in Residence continue to support p4c Hawai‘i at Kailua High School, Waimānalo Intermediate and Elementary School, and Waikīkī, Ka‘elepulu, and Sunset Beach Elementary Schools.

As the movement grows, we continually ask, how can we support teachers in making p4c a ‘living and reliable educational option’ (Lipman 1988, p. vii) with limited resources? One solution is the philoSURFER Internship Project, where pre-college students intern with university Philosophers in Residence and assist kindergarten through to ninth grade teachers in ‘doing’ philosophy with students. Kailua High School started their first philoSURFERS cohort in the fall of 2015, and Sunset Beach Elementary School adapted the model and had their first cohort of philoSURFERS in the fall of 2021. Since 2015, 151 philoSURFERS have supported over 65 teachers and thousands of students at eight schools to engage in philosophical inquiry.

The aim of this academic reflection is to share the lessons the five authors and project coordinators have learned over the last eight years of this school-university partnership for other organisations interested in utilising pre-collegiate students as catalysts for making philosophy an integral aspect of our schools.
Classroom Discussions in Education, edited by P Karen Murphy (2018), Routledge, New York and London.
Authors: Sprod Tim
Published: August 2023

We hear a lot about bubbles and echo chambers these days. People talk only to others who have similar ideas to themselves. Supporters of political parties, believers in conspiracy theories (such as QAnon), members of many other groups continually talk to fellow believers, and seldom seriously consider what outsiders say. However, we need to acknowledge that we ourselves also exist within bubbles. While perhaps not in the same league as the examples above, philosophy for/with children (P4/wC) advocates and researchers can also fall into the trap of listening only to others within our field. In many ways, this is understandable. Over more than 50 years, the P4/wC literature has ballooned, and it is unlikely that any one person has had the time to be able to read it all, let alone chasing down other literature. Yet we are not the only people who are interested in classroom discussions. For example, when I was doing my PhD, I read a fascinating and informative book by JT Dillon—Using Discussion in Classrooms—which I have never seen referenced in the P4/wC literature. The book under review here is another example. Published in the Ed Psych Insights series by Routledge, it is edited by P Karen Murphy, the Harry and Marion Royer Eberly Faculty Fellow and Professor of Education at The Pennsylvania State University. Of the eight other contributors to this book, seven are doctoral students, and one a post-doc, at either The Pennsylvania State University or the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This is quite a tight little bubble: the Quality Talk bubble. Quality Talk (QT) is the name of the approach to classroom discussions devised by Murphy and her collaborators.

Authors: Zainal Mohammed Sh. , Abdul Razzak Mohammed I.
Published: August 2023

The aim of this research is to support the geophysical field survey results in a manner of vertical electrical sounding (VES) by the results of the engineering examination represented by the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) of some wells drilled in one selected sites near Baghdad province, namely (Al-Musayyib site), for the purpose of evaluating the geometric position of the foundation layer and thus the possibility of the application of electrical method in such Engineering investigations. Measurements of 25 VES's distributed in five parallel traverses were carried out by using Schlumberger array in which this results were correlated with SPT results and available geological information. The main outcomes in the study area revealed five continuous and homogeneous subsurface layers in which the fourth layer of very dense brown weakly cemented sand with little amount of gravel having SPT values of more than 50 represents the foundation where engineering construction can be set on it. Finally, encouraging results about the possibility of the application of electrical method in this situation were obtained.

Total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), major ions Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, Cl-, SO4 2- and HCO3-, and chemical analysis were determined. To evaluate the suitability of analyzed water for irrigation, Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), sodium percent (Na%) and electrical conductivity were applied. The based on electrical conductivity classification of the analyzed water indicated that both the groundwater and drainage water are unacceptable for irrigation, except for very salt-tolerant plants (EC> 2250 μs/cm). These samples mostly have no harmful effects and no hazard in terms of RSC (RSC < 0), while for SAR, the groundwater samples have no harmful effects of sodium (SAR < 10) but it is unsatisfactory for irrigation for drainage water samples ( SAR > 26) and groundwater samples are good (Na% range from 20 to 40) to permissible (Na% > 40) in terms of Na%, while, the drainage water samples indicate doubtful class for the three samples (Na% > 60). Applying the water-sediment relationship experiments with respect to dry and wet periods show that about 2.2% – 4.8% of the TDS were librated after the drying condition which is believed to be of the water-soluble salts that exist within the sediment column.

Published: August 2023

The study area is located near Razazza Lake, southwest Karbala City, middle of Iraq. Data collections depended on field natural surveys. Geodiversity includes: rocks and minerals, land forms, type of soil and water resources. The main rock bed units are: sandstone, siltstone, mudstone, marl, limestone, dolostone, and gypsum. Landforms are: plateaus, dry wadis, hills, caves, sand sediments, lakes, marshes, ephemeral streams, Shithatha Plain, springs and sabkha. Types of soil are sandy on the plateau and near south part of Razaza Lake peach, while muddy and clayey soil near Shithatha and surrounding. Water resources are: Al-Majara canal, Al- Hassainiya canal, Karbala drainage canal, Razaza Lake, Shithatha springs and drilled wells, Ephemeral stream (Wadi Al-Ubaidh). Geodiversity is provides habitats and enhance biodiversity, therefore many habitats has been recognized, such as: Plateaus, Hills, Cliffs and Wadis, Sand sediments, Razaza Lake, marshes, Wadi Al- Ubaidh, Shithatha plain, Springs, sabkha. Vertebrate diversity in Razzaza Lake and adjacent areas belongs to five classes; Pisces, Amphibia, Reptilia, Aves, and mammalian. It comprises 89 species including 78 genera, 57 families and 22 orders. It is found that structural units of habitats of the area have their own vertebrate faunas. Results showed that some species are common to all habitats mentioned here for example Merops superciliosus, Upupa epops ,Vulpes vulpes and Pipistrellus kuhlii; others seem to be utilize more than one habitat in the area for example Gambusia affinis, Canis aureus, Hyaena hyaenam Hystrix indicam Prinia gracilis, Phoenicopterus ruber, and Uromastyx microlepis. Few species were recorded from one type of habitat for example Diplometopon zarudnyim Stenodactylus affinis, Bubo bubo, Scincus scincus and Taphozous nudiventris magnus. Of the species recorded, some were found of special interest from the conservation point of view for example Stenodactylus affinis and Hypocolius ampelinus. A comparison between the statuses of present vertebrate biodiversity and three decades ago was provided emphasizing on the environmental changes happened to the Razzaza Lake and the adjacent areas with the shortage of water quantity and deterioration of its quality.
THE DEADLY ANGELS AND THEIR JUNGIAN REDEMPTION, A TALE OF A SOUTHERN MILITIA
Authors: Naguio Clemente Noel IV C.
Published: August 2023

Becker (1996) said that militias are right-wing populist movements that form from frustrations, in particular when the economy is poor. Outwardly, unrest fuels paramilitary forces, the unconscious incarnation of its hero-myths, and the accompanying symbols in the racial unconscious. Here, heroes are born out of necessity, specifically by some who rose above poverty. Using the Jungian model, Frye proposes the seasons as the phases where a hero follows the seasonal narratives from birth to tragedy, death and rebirth. Here, the Angels, a paramilitary force, reaches the pinnacle of their achievement, the Redemption of their identity via all four phases, fully vindicated in the memories of their survivors despite their pejorative origins. After furtive sessions with the survivors, the deepest unconscious embedded in Jungian archetype of the collective psyche was discovered. The undertones were deeply religious and arresting to discover that the militia provided for the needs of the townsfolk for immediate relief and basic needs such as food, shelter and clothing which explains the positive impression of those who have survived the phenomenon.

Improving Metro Access in India: Evidence from Three Cities
Authors: Mukherjee Aloke , Muruganantham Sowmya , Balachandran Archana , Maiti Sudeept , Kumar Ganesh Prasanna
Published: August 2023

Poor access (last-mile connectivity) to metro rail systems in India has contributed to lower-than-planned ridership, causing the underutilization of over US$25 billion in investments in the sector. There is little understanding of what metro commuters seek from their last-mile commute. This paper draws from a three-city survey of 7,200 metro commuters to understand current metro user demographics and last-mile choices and preferences. Our data shows that Indian metro systems attract young, middle-income commuters. Indian metro commuters are highly sensitive to last-mile wait times and costs. The paper suggests that robust, periodic data collection and analysis are required to plan viable commuter-centric last-mile services.

Abstract

The Banten Province Land Transportation Management Office (BPTD) Region VIII oversees many Service Units (SATPEL) such as type A bus terminals, crossing ports, and weigh stations in Banten Province. The General Bureau is a Work Unit (Satker) tasked with handling requests for goods/services. Some problems occur in the process of requesting goods/services in the Office of the Land Transportation Management Center (BPTD) Region VIII of Banten Province, namely the submission process is still manual, so it takes a long time and the status of approval from each party who has a decision-making policy cannot be known directly. So to overcome the problems faced, it is necessary to design an information system for requests for goods and services that use the Waterfall method and the PHP and MySQL programming languages ​​to create an expected information system, so that data processing can be processed more quickly and in control. Thus each Service Unit (Satpel) can submit a letter of submission of goods by accessing the goods/services procurement web online.
