Gut Mucosal Immunity in HIV-Exposed Infants: A Review
Authors: Obeagu Emmanuel Ifeanyi , Obeagu Getrude Uzoma
Published: July 2024

Gut mucosal immunity in infants exposed to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) presents a complex interplay of developmental processes, viral dynamics, and therapeutic interventions that significantly impact clinical outcomes. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the mechanisms, clinical implications, and therapeutic strategies concerning gut mucosal immunity in HIV-exposed infants. The gut mucosa serves as a critical site for immune maturation and defense against pathogens, but HIV infection disrupts this delicate balance, leading to compromised immune function and increased susceptibility to infections.  Infants born to HIV-positive mothers experience unique challenges in gut mucosal immunity due to vertical transmission of the virus and exposure to antiretroviral therapy (ART). HIV infection disrupts gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), resulting in early depletion of CD4+ T cells and compromised mucosal barrier function. These alterations contribute to microbial translocation, chronic inflammation, and immune dysregulation, impacting overall immune competence and increasing susceptibility to opportunistic infections. Despite advances in ART, persistent immune activation and residual gut mucosal damage pose ongoing challenges in achieving optimal immune reconstitution and preventing long-term complications in HIV-exposed infants. Clinical implications of compromised gut mucosal immunity in HIV-exposed infants extend beyond gastrointestinal health to encompass systemic immune dysfunction and increased risks of non-AIDS comorbidities. Impaired gut barrier function exacerbates microbial translocation, leading to systemic inflammation that may contribute to neurodevelopmental abnormalities and metabolic disorders.

The epitaph on the monument to Husein-bek
Authors: Gainutdinov Aidar M. ,   Marjani Institute of History of the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2024

Research objectives: The purpose of the article is to identify the correct and most complete text of the epitaph on the monument to Husein-bek which was preserved in the cemetery of Chishma workers’ village of the Chishminsky district of the Republic of Bashkortostan. Research materials: The study was conducted on the basis of an analysis of articles and books by epigraphists, photographs of monuments of the 14th century, as well as materials of the author’s epigraphic expedition. Results and scientific novelty: The text of the monument to Husein-bek is currently only partially preserved, so it is no longer possible to read it completely. But on the basis of a duplicate of this monument, made and installed on the initiative of Mufti M. Sultanov, and a monument from Bulgar which is very similar to the monuments of Husein-bek, it was possible to reconstruct its inscriptions. We believe that we have managed to ascertain which words were written on the front and sides of this stone that were missed or incorrectly read by other specialists, as well as to refute the date of Husein-bek’s death proposed by scientist G.V. Yusupov. According to paleographic features, the object studied by us is very similar to other monuments that have been preserved in the Bulgar of the modern Spasky district of the Republic of Tatarstan. Based on this, it is safe to say that the monument was made by Bulgarian-Tatar carvers. Husein-bek himself was a statesman, a native of the unknown settlement of Tarsas, which was located in the territory of Turkestan. The epitaph on the monument to Husein-bek is written in relief handwriting in the Arabic and Tatar languages. In addition to information about the deceased, the stone contains traditional Tatar religious sayings, prayers, and poems.
The Genoese consuls of Tana (Azak) according to the tax registers from the State Archives of Genoa: the chronology of consulates (1449–1475)
Authors: Karpov Sergey P. ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: July 2024

Purpose of the study: The Genoese trading station – Tana, which existed on the territory of the Golden Horde and then the Crimean Khanate, was closely connected with the center of Genoese Gazaria – Caffa and served as an important transshipment point in Genoa’s relations with the East, as well as a place for the acquisition of the most important goods – valuable varieties of fish, caviar, salt, spices brought here, furs, leathers, etc., and was also the most important market for the slave trade. However, it has been studied much less in comparison with a similar Venetian settlement in the same place. This applies even more to the last period of its existence, after the Ottomans captured Constantinople and blocked the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits. This period lasted from 1453 to 1475. Moreover, it is poorly supplied with documentary sources. Therefore, the use of new archival data allows us to expand our understanding of Tana, its connections with the Ulus of Jochi and the Crimean Khanate. The names of the highest magistrates of the Genoese Tana – consuls elected by the Bank of St. George of Genoa, who controlled all the Black Sea trading stations of the Genoese Republic since 1453 onwards, were until now known only through random and sporadic mentions. Meanwhile, this is the most important dating feature in the history of the trading post. The article makes a possible reconstruction of the dates of the rule of the magistrates of these settlements on the basis of not scattered, but relatively verifiable data of tax records on their salaries – the so-called stalii. Research materials: archival sources that have not yet been introduced into scientific circulation are used as a source – registers of taxes paid by magistrates, stored in the State Archives of Genoa. Comparisons of these records with the massariae (receipt and expense books) of Genoese Caffa and other sources were carried out. Research results and scientific novelty: the clarification of the dates of the rules of the Genoese consuls of Tana makes it possible to reconstruct the events and circumstances of the political history of the region in the middle of the 15th century, after the capture of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453, to obtain more accurate dates of events, and finally to prove the existence of the Genoese Tana, albeit declining in size until the Ottoman conquest in 1475.

Published: July 2024

Radiotherapy affects not only malignant, but also a healthy tissue adjacent
to tumor by increasing reactive oxygen species generation, with consequent
damage to biomolecules, such as the oxidation of membrane lipids, known as
lipid peroxidation. The end product of lipid peroxidation is
malondialdehyde. Radioprotectors are compounds that could significantly
protect normal cells from radiation, without changing the tumor cell
radiosensitivity. Synthetic radioprotectors usually have side effects and
are toxic. Natural radioprotectors exert protection without adverse effects. In this study, we examined the radioprotective ability of linden
honey in rat blood, by detecting alterations in the activities of
antioxidant enzymes catalase and glutathione peroxidase and malondialdehyde
concentration after the exposure to a therapeutic dose of gamma rays. Sixteen rats were randomly divided into Control and Honey groups. Honey group
received honey (1.5 mL(kgd-1)) orally for four weeks, while at the same time
Control group were given distilled water. After four weeks, blood was
sampled from all animals. Samples were halved, and one series of samples
were gamma irradiated (2 Gy). Radiation induced decreased glutathione
peroxidase activity and increased malondialdehyde level, while honey
treatment attenuated those alterations, keeping glutathione peroxidase and
malondialdehyde at physiological levels. These findings confirm
radioprotective properties of linden honey.

Abstract

Overnutrition has gradually become the primary causative factor of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, how nutritional signals are integrated to orchestrate the transcriptional programs important for NAFLD progression remains poorly understood. Here, we identified hepatic BAF60b as a lipid-sensitive subunit of the switch/sucrose-nonfermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin-remodeling complex and is negatively associated with liver steatosis in mice and humans. Hepatic BAF60b deficiency promotes high-fat diet (HFD)-induced liver steatosis in mice, while transgenic expression of BAF60b in the liver attenuates HFD-induced obesity and NAFLD, both accompanied by a marked regulation of PPARγ expression. Mechanistically, through motif analysis of liver ATAC-Seq and multiple validation experiments, we identified CCAAT/enhancer‐binding protein β (C/EBPβ) as the transcription factor that interacts with BAF60b to suppress PPARγ gene expression, thereby controlling hepatic lipid accumulation and NAFLD progression. This work uncovers hepatic BAF60b as a negative regulator of liver steatosis through C/EBPβ dependent chromatin remodeling.

Article Highlights

• We aim to understand how nutritional signals are integrated to orchestrate the transcriptional programs important for NAFLD progression.

• Hepatic BAF60b is a dietary-lipid sensor and is negatively associated with liver steatosis. We used liver-specific BAF60b knockout and transgenic mice, combining with multi-omics techniques, to study the role of BAF60b in NAFLD progression.

• Our findings uncover BAF60b as a key chromatin remodeling checkpoint factor in controlling hepatic lipid sensing, accumulation, and NAFLD progression through engaging the C/EBPβ/PPARγ axis.

Objetivo: determinar a frequência de infecção pelo Helicobacter pylori em pacientes com queixas dispépticas e avaliar a concordância entre resultado do teste da urease e do exame histopatológico no diagnóstico de infecção. Métodos: estudo observacional, transversal e descritivo, realizado a partir do resultado do teste da urease, do exame histopatológico e do laudo endoscópico de pacientes submetidos à endoscopia digestiva alta (EDA) em hospital universitário na cidade de Teresina, Piauí. Resultados: a amostra foi composta por 300 pacientes, em sua maioria mulheres, com média de idade de 53,93 anos. O teste da urease foi positivo em 34% dos exames e o histopatológico em 55%. A principal justificativa de EDA foi a epigastralgia. A alteração da mucosa gástrica predominante no histopatológico foi a gastrite crônica, enquanto no laudo endoscópico o achado mais comum foi a gastrite erosiva. A acurácia do teste da urease em relação ao histopatológico foi de 76,33%, apresentando nível moderado de concordância. Por outro lado, a acurácia entre a EDA e o histopatológico foi de 67,7%, não apresentando concordância (Kappa 0,05), conforme classificação do teste de Kappa de Landis e Koch (1977). Conclusão: a frequência de infecção por Helicobacter pylori foi elevada. Houve concordância moderada entre diagnóstico por teste de urease e histopatológico, mas não entre achados endoscópico e histopatológico, com maior presença de gastrite identificada no resultado histopatológico.
relação entre religião e política na sociedade brasileira
Authors: Nunes Gilberto Dias
Published: July 2024

A relação entre religião e política não é um fenômeno recente no Estado brasileiro. O tema é atual e complexo. A temática, surge como uma oportunidade para o debate no espaço público entre aa Ciência da Religião e demais Ciências Humanas. Pois, vive-se um momento de transformação no cenário político nacional. Nas mídias sociais, autoridades civis e religiosas polarizam os debates e revelam a grave crise institucional, que atinge o País e o entrelaçamento entre Religião e Estado, que tem se intensificado nas últimas décadas. A problemática em questão requer do pesquisador um olhar atendo para as várias perspectivas de análise do fenômeno religioso. Optamos por uma abordagem sociológica da religião, ancorada nas definições de Émile Durkheim e teóricos da modernidade que possibilitam analisar a religião como um fato social. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, com o objetivo de analisar a estreita relação entre religião e política. Por isso, indagamos: a religião influência na organização social? Como hipótese, verificaremos se a moral judaico-cristã ainda faz parte do inconsciente coletivo e se as religiões contribuem na formação das identidades sociais.
Seismic moment tensor and focal mechanism of the October 9, 2023 earthquake in Eastern Slovakia
Authors:   Carpathian Branch of Subbotin Institute of Geophysics of NAS of Ukraine, Malytskyy Dmytro
Published: July 2024

The accuracy of the focal mechanism solution mainly depends on the number of stations used and becomes problematic especially in the case of weak earthquakes and sparse networks. In our study, we retrieve the seismic moment tensor of the M=5 earthquake on 9 October 2023 (18:23:09 UTC, 21.783°E, 49.086°N, depth 11.5 km) in Eastern Slovakia from its records at only four seismic stations. Our seismic moment tensor inversion is based on the point source approach and the use of only direct waves calculated by the matrix method. Displacements on the surface of an elastic, horizontally-layered medium are generated using the frequency-wavenumber integration technique. The advantage of using only direct P- and S- waves in our inversion method is that they are less sensitive to path effects compared to reflected and converted waves, which reduces the impact of an inaccurate velocity structure and improves the accuracy and reliability of the result. Based on the forward modeling, a numerical technique was developed for the inversion of the observed waveforms for the components of the moment tensor M(t) using the generalized inversion solution. Before applying our method to the earthquake of October 9, 2023, it was also tested on the April 23, 2020 earthquake (23:18:26.42 UTC, 21.945°E, 48.781°N, magnitude M=5, depth 9 km), also in Eastern Slovakia, using data from only three stations. The resulting versions of the mechanism compare well with a very reliable version previously determined from the polarities of the first P-waves at a much larger number of stations, which only confirms the reliability of our inversion method and the very possibility of obtaining useful results from data of only limited number of stations.
Sedimentary markers of modern morphodynamic processes on the sandstone tor "Kamin" (village Urych, Eastern Beskydy, Ukrainian Carpathians

Published: July 2024

The paper studies the types of modern morphodynamic processes on the sandstone tor “Kamin`” (“Stone”) in the village Urych (Eastern Beskydy, Ukrainian Carpathians) as a nature monument and historical and cultural reserve. It reveals interrelationships between the modern manifestations of the processes and the sedimentological facies of the Paleogene rocks of the Yamna Formation. During the formation of the Carpathian trust fault structure, they were created in the geodynamic conditions of the Outer Carpathian deep-water oceanic paleobasin and deformed during the stages of accretion and orogeny. The main research methods were morphological, morphodynamic, sedimentological, and lithological. Modern morphodynamic processes on the tor walls are classified by their origin, localization within the studied object, and the amount of tor wall coverage. Morphodynamic processes can be classified into different types such as soaking and very small pits; destruction; flaking; spalling; dimples weathering; alveolar weathering; corrasion and washing away the grains; linear underground erosion; biogenic superficial weathering; biogenic linear weathering; block collapses; joint-guided weathering: along tectonic, tensile, weathering, lithological cracks; gravity cascade folds. According to the amount of coverage of the tor walls, the following are distinguished: microprocesses (local manifestations), medium-scale and large-scale processes, with a destruction depth of 1-10 сm. Medium-scale processes that occur on tor superficials are related to primary sedimentary structural-textural features of rocks and their lithological composition. Fractured paragenesis of the Sub-Carpathian and Anti-Carpathian directions dominate large-scale processes. Studies of the tor destruction processes are important to determine the preservation methods of the sandstone tor “Kamin`” as a valuable object of historical, cultural, and geotourism heritage. The obtained results indicate that individual tor blocks are strongly affected by superficial processes, on which deep polygenetic cracks are superimposed. This provides a basis to implement measures for strengthening the stability of the tor.

Published: July 2024

A high failure rate in physics subjects is caused by students' inability to understand the material. The physics learning process certainly requires an appropriate learning approach. The learning analytics approach is one of the innovations in learning. It allows students to analyze problems. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the learning analytics approach's effect on improving students' multiple representation skills. This research is experimental. The validation of the lesson plan obtained excellent results based on two material experts and four practitioners. Furthermore, the empirical test was carried out on 504 students. The research design was the pretest-posttest control group design. The control and experimental groups were determined using cluster random sampling. The findings of this research include (1) the normality test results that are higher than 0.05, which means that the research data was normally distributed. (2) The homogeneity test results were higher than 0.05, which indicated that the data was homogeneous. (3) The paired sample T-test obtained a value lower than 0.05, which means that there was an influence of the multiple representation approach. (4) The N-gain value in the experimental class was higher than the control class. Lastly, (5) only 47.2% of students used graphical and mathematical representation skills. Based on these findings, the effect of the learning analytics approach on students' multiple representation skills was fairly good with moderate criteria. For further research, learning products or models can be developed to improve multiple representation skills focused on a combination of graphics and mathematics.
Glocal yet National-German Soccer Culture, Identity, and Vereinsgeschichte
Authors: Holznienkemper Alex
Published: July 2024

In order to better understand current efforts by German soccer fans to defend the game they love, this article sheds light on the deeper relevance of the broad history of association formation in Germany. German soccer culture stands out among the “Big 5” leagues of European soccer for more proactive engagement of club fans, but to date, there has been scarce consideration of how the long history of Vereine and their civic relevance figure in today’s public debates surrounding soccer culture. The value of Mitbestimmung, so central to fans’ fight for soccer today, has strong roots in the widespread formation of associations in the long 19th century. Retracing these roots reveals that while these values are not unique to professional sports, it is in soccer that we see social engagement amid modern paradoxes crystallize in a glocal battle to maintain deeply held social values that reach beyond the playing field of one sport.

Published: July 2024

The Toyota Prius MG2 electric motor and its upgrades, since its first appearance in 1997, are presented in this paper. This electric motor has an Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) fitted with Rare Earth (RE) magnets, which presents clear advantages over the more widely used Induction Motors (IM). The principal advantage is its high power-density value that makes it a leader in the Electric Vehicles (EV) market. This technology, however, faces a problem, in so far as the global production of RE magnets is an exclusive monopoly of China, (motivating the United States and Japan, among others, to investigate alternative systems). In this paper, the proposal is to substitute the sintered magnet in current use by the bonded type of magnet. The use of bonded magnets permits curved geometric forms, reducing the use of dysprosium, one of the most controversial elements of sintered magnets. These materials are compared using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in the design of various rotor models including the proposal of a model with bonded magnetic materials, with the advantages of curved magnets and a dual layer arrangement. The proposed rotor model yielded a considerably higher power density than the model developed by Toyota. Keywords PMSM, Finite Element Analysis, Rare Earth Magnets.

Main historical stages in the field of physical culture and sports management (analysis of the past, present, future forecast)
Authors: Filonenko N. V.
Published: July 2024

The article substantiates the need for a theoretical analysis of the main historical stages in the field of industrial management. Attention is focused on the military–applied and professionally applied orientation of physical culture, which has been preserved for more than a century, including the present. In connection with the identified shortcomings, it is proposed to increase the number of hours for teaching basic military training in the form of a separate subject in grades 5–11, as was the case in Soviet secondary schools. Also, approval at the legislative level of the introduction of communicative and digital forms of industrial gymnastics in all organizations, regardless of the types of activities and organizational and legal forms of ownership, as it was during the existence of the Soviet Union. A structural unit of educational organizations is a boarding school with a sports profile, 24 hours a day, accepting children from the age of 7 at the expense of budget funding, as was the case in the USSR. This will make it possible to prepare a reserve for the national teams of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the country in aesthetic sports, the specificity of which is early specialization. The resulting socio–economic and political circumstances in the early 1990s prompted the emergence of industry–specific sports management and many innovations. But time shows the need to study the past to avoid shortcomings in the present, to use the positive experience of continuity from the Soviet management of physical culture and sports for its application in modern Russia.
Mutual insurance risks

Published: July 2024

The article considers the risk status of mutual insurance organizations. The growing popularity of mutual insurance among representatives of the field of material production, carriers, tourism business and other market participants, on the one hand, and the widespread opinion about the increased stability of the activities of a mutual insurance organization, on the other hand, sets the task of determining the risk status of a mutual insurance company, which will make it possible to formulate the main directions of risk–oriented regulation of such organizations. According to the author, the mutual insurance organization is subject to a significant number of various risks of risks, both event and economic and social. It is suggested that at least the following risk groups are inherent in a mutual insurance organization: risks due to the nature of insurance; risks arising from reciprocity as a technology; market risks of the mutual insurance organization; risks of an individual participant in mutual insurance in the part affecting the interests of the functioning of mutual insurance. Analysis of these risk groups makes it possible to come to the conclusion that the risk management of mutual insurance organizations should be built differently for organizations uniting individuals or large legal entities. For mutual companies of individuals, it is necessary to provide for built–in risk management mechanisms; for mutual societies that unite legal entities, risk management should be systemic and combine both the risks of the organization and its participants (enterprises).
