Authors: Moldaliev Zhoomart , Ozdemir Hasan
Published: October 2023

Plants has an important place in people's lives since the existence of the world. Plants have always been in our lives, sometimes as food, and sometimes to find healing. Plants have been one of the biggest reasons why people settled down. While people obtained great healing from plants, they also used it for different purposes. For example, the accidentally discovered taxane plant was once used to poison people. In addition, the taxane plant is one of the most used plants in breast cancer today. While morphine was used as a great pain reliever in the past, it is also used as a recreational drug today. A substance that is a great source of healing also causes serious damage to the human body, even death. At the same time, even if the plants are not used for wrong purposes, their misuse also has negative consequences for humans. For example, while the chasteberry is a miraculous plant for women, it is a plant that men should stay away from. Since it increases the estrogen level, it gives good results in women and causes infertility in men. Examples like this would not end by counting. With this article, while explaining what kind of healing the plants contain and their harms; In addition, there is information about how people should use it according to age, gender and disease status.

Published: October 2023

Cancer has become one of the most critical health issues, with an increasing incidence and mortality in recent years. Meanwhile, many studies are carried out on discovering new compounds which reflects effective results on cancer cells. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the cytotoxic, anti-proliferative and apoptotic effects on cancer cell lines by using the extract obtained from Uludağ Fir ($\textit{Abies nordmanniana subsp. bornmülleriana Mattf }$) resin. Uludağ Fir resin extract was obtained by applying the methanol extraction method. In our study, fibroblast cell L-929, human metastatic prostate cancer PC-3 and human metastatic prostate cancer DU-145 cell lines were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium. The effects of the resin extract concentrations on the viability of the cells were determined with the Muse™ Cell Count & Viability test. In addition, apoptosis and cell cycle phases of the cells were determined using the Muse™ cell analyzer. Finally, RT-qPCR analysis was performed to determine the resin extract effect on pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic gene expression. The apoptotic effect of Uludağ Fir resin extract on cancer cell lines was significantly higher in contrast to the healthy normal cells. In addition, it was determined that Uludağ Fir extract caused G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in cancer cells. In RT-qPCR analysis, the pro-apoptotic gene expression levels were apparently increased in cancer cells, which was followed by a decrease in the anti-apoptotic gene expression levels. All taken together, these results indicate that Uludağ Fir resin extract exerts two prong effects as it induces a cell cycle arrest and apoptotic pathway activation on human prostate cancer cell lines.

The mammalian gut is colonized by microorganisms that affect development, immune system, energy metabolism, and reproduction. The majority of studies focused on laboratory or domestic animals in artificial setups, leaving the research focused on wild species underrepresented. The Anatolian Blind Molerat (hereafter ABMR), $\textit{Nannospalax xanthodon}$, is a subterranean rodent that receives much attention due to its unique traits, such as tolerance to extreme hypoxic stress, resistance to cancer, and longer lifespan compared to similarly sized rodents. In this study, we characterize the gut microbiota of ABMR from its northernmost geographic distribution using 16S rRNA metabarcoding and compare our results with the microbiome characteristics of a few other ABMR populations studied previously, as well as other rodent species. The 16S rRNA barcode dataset revealed that approximately 90% of the ABMR gut microbiota comprises Firmicutes and Bacteriodota bacterial phyla, typical of most mammals. In addition, the ABMR gut microbiota has a high abundance of performance- and longevity-linked bacterial families. Overall, our results generally align well with the previous studies on blind molerats and emphasize the importance of studying the microbiome of natural populations.

Authors: Fan Liangjie , Chiang Juiching
Published: October 2023

In the era of human-computer symbiosis, extensive research has examined the influence of educational technologies on education. The nascent field, metaverse, driven by advancements in 5G, VR, and AR, has emerged as a new frontier. Although some scholars have explored the application of the metaverse in education, there is a lack of research specifically focusing on its implications for language education. This systematic literature review aims to comprehensively examine empirical studies on the use of metaverse in language education, including, research topics, methodologies, common tools, impacts, and challenges. Through searching authoritative databases (i.e., Web of Science and Scopus) following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines (i.e., PRISMA), 12 relevant articles were selected. Statistical analysis showed that South Korea and China are active contributors in this field, primarily investigating university students. Platforms like Ifland, Gather Town, and Metaverse Studio were commonly used for metaverse construction, along with tools such as VR. Quantitative and mixed-method approaches were favored, with research mostly focused on student and teacher perspectives and language proficiency outcomes. Overall, findings suggest positive attitudes towards metaverse implementation and its beneficial impact on learning outcomes, but caution against considering it a complete solution for language learning. Despite valuable insights, the existing literature on metaverse in language education remains limited compared to other technological domains. Further research is necessary to enrich the understanding of research directions, sample choice, experimental findings and so on.

Published: October 2023

This article is based on the theory of speech acts and J. Searle's classification of speech acts to investigate and categorize speech acts of children in communication with adults according to three age types: children aged 4-6 with adults, children aged 6-11 with adults, and children aged 11-15 with adults. The research results show that in their communication with adults, children employ all five categories of speech acts, consisting of 64 speech acts and 4,275 times of speech acts. There are variations in the number of speech acts within each types, influenced by communication factors such as the communication context, communication topic, and communication content. This reflects the children's natural, innocent, yet resolute and responsible language abilities and characteristics in their interactions with adults.

Authors: Casas Baamonde María Emilia
Published: October 2023

La STJUE de 12 de diciembre de 2019, WA c. Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social, C-450/2018, declaró que el artículo 60.1 de la Ley General de la Seguridad Social, que completaba las pensiones contributivas de las mujeres con un complemento por su maternidad, denominado por "su aportación demográfica a la Seguridad Social", discriminaba directamente a los hombres, a lo que se oponía el Derecho de la Unión Europea. La sentencia de la Sala de lo Social Tribunal Supremo determina que el proceso especial de tutela de los derechos fundamentales y libertades públicas es modalidad procesal adecuada al ejercicio por un pensionista varón de sus pretensiones de cese de la conducta discriminatoria y de condena al Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social al abono del complemento de maternidad.

The STJUE of December 12, 2019, WA c. National Social Security Institute, C-450/2018, declared that article 60.1 of the General Social Security Law, which supplemented women's contributory pensions with a supplement for their maternity, referred to as "their demographic contribution to social security", discriminated directly to men, which was opposed by European Union law. The judgment of the Social Division of the Supreme Court determines that the special procedure for the protection of fundamental rights and public freedoms is a procedural procedure appropriate to the exercise by a male pensioner of his claims for cessation of discriminatory conduct and condemns the National Social Security Institute to pay the maternity allowance.
Spatial and linguistic mobility in the narrative of a transnational speaker between Peru and Italy
Authors: Bonomi Milin
Published: October 2023

The aim of this paper is to explore the language-space relationship by analysing the way Latin American transnational speakers experience mobility processes and the way these shape their linguistic practices and identities. Namely, the focal point of this study is the way spatial and sociolinguistic bordering are constructed and conceived by analysing the narrative of a transnational woman who experienced back and forth migration between Peru and Italy with her family. I will analyse this aspect from a theoretical point of view in the first part of the paper, where I will refer to that part of the literature that, while studying the relationship between language and migration, addresses questions about how language ideologies, the centre-periphery dynamics, as well as the material conditions of diaspora influence language practices and the construction of social identity in contemporary societies. I will then explore these epistemological aspects through the voice of a Peruvian transnational woman relating the social and sociolinguistic cross-bordering she experienced with her family through her spatial mobility.

Synthesis of potent flavonoid sulfamate inhibitors of the enzyme steroid sulfatase (STS), a topical target in treating postmenopausal women with hormone-dependent breast cancer, is described in the current article. Novel compounds were examined for estrone sulfatase (E1-STS) inhibition in intact MCF-7 breast cells. The strategies adopted to develop STS inhibitors which, while active in vivo, are devoid of any estrogenicity that would limit their use for breast cancer therapy (e.g. estrone 3-O-sulfamate, EMATE), were broadly successful. Several molecules of flavonoid sulfamates were synthesized that potentially possess both aromatase and steroid sulfatase inhibitory properties. The isoflavane-4',7-O,O-bis-sulfamate (equol bis-sulfamate) and flavone-6,4'-O,O-bis-sulfamate were found to be the most potent inhibitors of all the flavonoid sulfamate analogs in vitro, inhibiting STS by about 99% at 0.1μM in MCF-7 cells. Some of these flavonoid sulfamates were also found to be active against both enzymes’ STS and aromatase (e.g., 5-hydroxy-7-methoxyflavone-4'-O-sulfamate, 5-hydroxy-flavone-4',7-O,O-bis-sulfamate, and 5,7-dihydroxy flavanone-4'-O-sulfamate), thus demonstrating the novel concept of a dual inhibitor. The availability of flavonoid sulfamates as STS inhibitors may enable to use of them as a therapy in the treatment of breast cancer.

Oil flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is a valuable agricultural crop with potential uses in industries including oil production, nutrition, and medicine. It has a good reputation in Afghanistan as an oil crop. The objective of the current research was to compare the most significant morphological parameters and fatty acid compositions of some local oilflax. The study used a randomized complete block design and was conducted on the research and experimental farm of Parwan University's (REFPU) Faculty of Agriculture in Parwan, Afghanistan, during the 2022 growing season. In this experiment, four seed samples from various regions of Afghanistan [Parwan (V1), Badakhshan (V2), Baghlan (V3), and Kunduz (V4)] were used. The results showed no significant difference between the local varieties on all growth parameters except for the number of seeds per capsule (NSC) and the weight of a thousand seeds (WTS). The maximum NSC was significantly observed in the V1 (10.8), followed by the V3 (7.13) and the V4 (7.33), and the lowest was recorded in the V2 (6.7). The heaviest WTS were significantly produced by V1 (9 gr) compared to V2 (4.67 gr), V3 (5.67 gr), and V4 (4.67 gr). Also, there was not a noticeable difference in the concentration of linoleic acid (LA) and linolenic acid (LLA) between the varieties. Each of the studied local varieties can be used because of their similar performance.

Thin films of (CuFe(1-x) CrxO4) with weight ratios (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1) were prepared using the chemical deposition method on glass bases with dimensions x 1cm (1cm) at (700°C) temperature. Studying the optical properties of the prepared films includes recording the absorbance spectrum and the optical energy gap for the wavelength range (300-900 nm). Moreover, studying the optical constants is represented by the extinction coefficient, the refractive index, and the real and imaginary part of the dielectric constant as a function of wavelength. The optical properties show the appearance of a peak, an absorbance at a wavelength of 370 nm when adding a chromium ion as a substitute for the iron ion. The intensity of this peak increases directly with the increase in the percentage of chromium in the sample. It was also observed that the energy gap decreases significantly to 3eV. There is a slight increase in the value of the optical energy gap to 3.1eV when the percentage increases to x=0.8 due to decrease in size.

Стаття присвячена аналізові страхового ринку України за умов пандемії та воєнних дій у 2021-2023 рр. Страховий ринок України характеризується помірними темпами розвитку: на ньому функціонують 128 страхових компаній із загальним обсягом активів 70338 млн грн, проте за період 2017-2022 рр. кількість компаній на ринку зменшилась у 2,3 раза. У дослідженні розглядаються ключові фактори, що сприяють негативному трендові розвитку фінансового ринку в Україні загалом та страхового зокрема. У роботі використані методи кореляційно-регресійного аналізу, узагальнення, групування, а також табличний та графічний методи представлення результатів.Позитивним аспектом розвитку страхового ринку України, який забезпечує високий рівень довіри до страховиків, є щорічне нарощення обсягів страхових резервів і зі страхування life, і зі страхування non-life. Характерною для страхового ринку України є пріоритетність укладання договорів страхування щодо страхування КАСКО, медичного страхування, ОСЦПВ та страхування життя.У розвинутих країнах установлено надзвичайно тісний зв’язок між купівельною спроможністю населення й щільністю страхового покриття, однак залежність ступеня проникнення страхування від купівельної платоспроможності населення є значно нижчою. Із рівнем достовірності в понад 80% установлено, що в європейських країнах при нарощенні купівельної спроможності населення на 10 тис. євро відбудеться зростання щільності страхування до 7000 євро на 1 особу за страхуванням non-life і до 105 тис. євро за страхуванням life. Стосовно України, то страховий ринок розвиватиметься за зростаючим трендом і в перспективі, за умови збільшення купівельної спроможності населення на 20000 грн, буде прирощено страхових премій на 100 грн. Страховий ринок України наразі перебуває в стані поступового відновлення від шокового стану у зв’язку зі збройною агресією, водночас він напрацьовує низку інструментів та має потужні перспективи, які здатні позитивно вплинути на розвиток самого страхового ринку й економіки держави загалом.

Membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, have played a crucial role in the evolution of plant cells. In this study, we investigate the presence of heteroplasmy and genomic variation in liverworts, a group of non-vascular plants, using nanopore sequencing technology. We selected four liverwort species representing different lineages: Riccia fluitans, Apopellia endiviifolia, Aneura pinguis, and Scapania undulata. Through nanopore sequencing, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated the
organellar genomes of selected liverwort species. The plastid genomes of Riccia fluitans, Apopellia endiviifolia, Aneura pinguis, and Scapania undulata exhibited high conservation with previously published genomes, while the mitogenome of
Scapania undulata represents the first report for this species. The analysis of the liverwort organellar genomes revealed conserved gene content, structure, and order. We further investigated heteroplasmy within the liverwort species. The plastome
analysis did not detect structural heteroplasmy, which is observed in some angiosperms but seems limited to seed plants. However, in the mitogenomes, we found evidence of heteroplasmy in Aneura pinguis, Apopellia endiviifolia, and Scapania undulata. The heteroplasmic sites in the mitogenomes were mainly represented by substitutions, indels, and short tandem repeat polymorphisms.
Some of the identified substitutions resembled RNA editing patterns observed in liverworts. This study highlights the utility of nanopore sequencing for studying organellar genomes and detecting heteroplasmy in liverworts. The findings expand our understanding of organellar genomic variation in non-vascular plants and provide insights into the mechanisms underlying heteroplasmy in liverwort mitogenomes.
Further research is needed to explore the functional significance of heteroplasmy and its implications for liverwort evolution and adaptation.
From “Neti” to “Deathless Goddess”: The Feminine in Nandini Sahu’s Sita and Shedding the Metaphors
Authors: Namita Sethi
Published: October 2023

In both Sita and Shedding the Metaphors, Nandini Sahu offers revolutionary interpretations of womanhood, effortlessly embracing nature, tradition, and modern cultural norms. She says she "pours" her own "image" and "personality" into her characters and stories, drawing on her own experience and interactions (Shedding the Metaphors, Preface, 13). Her approach embraces subjectivity and empiricism as well as her broad variety of readings, including both literary and academic works, even though it is not necessarily autobiographical. Nandini Sahu also makes Sita her own in Sita, revitalizing Sita's mythology in the process and giving her a strong sense of modern relevance in poetry that is never prosaic and is driven by argument. Her women characters emerge as strong and impressive, with a strong emotional maturity and a marked sense of empathy and morality but willing to reveal their raw emotions and spontaneity. Their exploitation by uncaring individuals is seen in keeping with a patriarchal society, that is destructive of both femininity and nature. The strong single mothers and single working women manage to draw on their capacity to love and take care of others to feed their strength. Her women are Goddess-like and like primal Nature: abundant, giving, strong, eco-feminist, and ready to break free from stereotypes and conventional metaphors. The subjectivity of Sahu's Sita is strongly Indian feminist and highly modern. She moves fluidly between the past, conceptions of the past, and present patriarchy, where female foeticide still haunts India, without missing a beat (of argument or metre). She probes into every facet of women's existence, connecting old conceptions of male supremacy with present clichés.
Reading Past through the Present: A Comparative Analysis of Nandini Sahu's Sita with Valmiki's Ramayana through an Indic Perspective
Authors: Bhaskar Bhushan

The intellectual exercise is always related to either deconstruction of the meaning or embellishment of meanings by interpretation of a text. It has always been the intellectual rigour of the thinking human, to find out more and to make sense of it, at the same time. Ramayana, for me, has always been one text that has always stayed imminently relevant in my memory by the sheer virtue of its literary oeuvre and all the teaching it imparts, either metaphysically or metaphorically. For a long time, I have always yearned for an opportunity to write something about it or anything closely or even remotely related to it. And in the words of Tulsi, “everything happens according to Rama's wish only”. I have finally been endowed upon with the opportunity to do so by expressing my opinions about Nandini Sahu's Sita, a poetic memoir of the heroine of the epic in the first-person narrative.
Traces of Standpoint Theory in Select Poems of Kishwar Naheed
Authors: Aisha Haleem
Published: October 2023

The fact is that South Asian nations have a history of keeping women from speaking up in public, but literature in the area does quite the opposite by serving as a voice for feminism. Kishwar Naheed, through the power of her pen, has contributed a lot to raising issues related to female subjugation and deprivation. The knowledge that results from situations and experiences that girls and women share is highlighted by the feminist Standpoint theory. The idea that our work—the activity in which we participate—shapes what we know and how we behave is central to Marxist theory, where this emphasis on experiences comes from. This study aims to identify the feminist underpinnings of a few poems by Pakistani-Urdu poet Kishwar Naheed. Her work is grounded in the experience of the subcontinent as a whole, allowing for a better understanding of the development of resistance against chauvinist revivals that impose their idea of a "submissive good woman" on subcontinental women. Her "transgression" poetry rejects the limitations imposed by a false, chauvinist spirituality and tries to sketch out the contours of the oppressed yet rebellious feminine personality.
