Proteolysis of Transmembrane Proteins: Degradation or maturation? Case Study of Disrupted in Renal Carcinoma 2 (DIRC2) (rev)
Authors: Savalas Lalu Rudyat Telly
Published: August 2022

Disrupted in renal carcinoma 2 (DIRC2), has been recentlyidentified as a constituent of lysosomal transmembrane protein. Structurally, the protein belongs to a member of major facilitatorsuperfamily (MFS), a large group of proteins with diverse substrates and characterized by the presence of twelve transmembrane domains. DIRC2 shows an intriguing property that it is fragmented into two fragments in the lysosomal fraction of mammalian cells. This study represents the first report of MFSprotein internal fragmentation, and a question raised therefore whether the proteolysis lead to degradation or maturation event. Since both fragments were observed in variety of tissues in enormous stability, with exception in cells lacking of cathepsin L, fragmentation of DIRC2 may be regarded as maturation or modification event, instead of a degradation pathway. Whereas thetransported substrate by DIRC2 is not known, results shown that DIRC2 in full length form is likely an electrogenic transporter protein of lysosomes.

Current Perception of Epidemic between Traditional and Social Media: an Italian Case Study
Authors: Di Sia Paolo
Published: August 2022

Aim. More than two years after the beginning of the global epidemic period, most governments have adopted questionable strategies, aimed at the progressive reductionof the people freedom and pushing in a non-transparent way on the forced use of genic drugs, improperly called vaccines. The purpose of this work concerns the different way in which news relating to the epidemic reached citizens from traditional media (main TV channels and main national newspapers) and from social media, in particular from Telegram.Methods. The paper considers the situation perceived in Italy up to the first months of2022 by analyzing the news appearing on mainstream TV channels and how they aredescribed by national newspapers, as opposed to what can be deduced from somesocial media platforms who are still enough free from censorship.Results. The analysis underlines that there is a clear discrepancy between traditional and social media; the official narration of the traditional media is not only questionable, but does not give rise to the possibility of a free discussion on the hottest issues of this epidemic. Only Telegram appears to be the most censorship free channel among the studied traditional/social media in this paper.Conclusions. The attention placed on the official narrative of Covid-19, on the use ofthe methodology still in force in Italy for fighting the epidemic, on the strong nonsanitary limitation of individual freedom and on a possible underlying plan aboutwhat is globally happening leads to the conclusion that in Italy there is an attempt togive an ambiguous, equivocal and inconsistent version of the facts, contradicted by experimental data and scientific papers appearing more and more numerous inqualified international journals.

A primitive serendipity moment on ancient Earth
Authors: Mindsponge AISDL
Published: August 2022

Energy is the utmost crucial factor for organisms’ survival and biological evolution. In any living being, energy does not come easy. Complex biological systems cannot use raw physical energy sources like machines to power their functions. Humans are no exceptions, as we can think about how much people care about rather “mundane” physiological aspects such as eating and sleeping. To examine the aspect of energy usage, we need to go back to the cellular level.
Distinct roles of cyclones and anticyclones in setting the midwinter minimum of the North Pacific eddy activity. Part II: Eulerian eddy statistics and energetics
Authors: Okajima Satoru , Nakamura Hisashi , Kaspi Yohai
Published: August 2022

The characteristics and dynamics of midlatitude storm-tracks have been long investigated. Nevertheless, our understandings of the storm-tracks, especially the midwinter minimum of the North Pacific storm-track activity, are still limited, partly because Eulerian eddy statistics are incapable of separating cyclonic and anticyclonic contributions. Here we investigate the detailed seasonal evolution of the contributions from cyclonic and anticyclonic vortices, identified with local wind curvature, to the Eulerian eddy statistics, eddy feedback forcing onto the climatological-mean westerly jet, and the energetics associated with the North Pacific storm-track. We demonstrate that the midwinter minimum of the net energy conversion/generation rate normalized by the eddy total energy over the entire North Pacific is more distinct for anticyclonic vortices than for cyclonic vortices, to which the midwinter minimum of the probability of anticyclonic vortices contributes. The main factors include the reduction of the baroclinic energy conversion into midwinter and the reduction of the net energy outflux into spring. To long-term modulations of the MWM of the NP storm-track activity, both cyclonic and anticyclonic vortices contribute constructively. Together with our companion paper, the present study reveals the primal importance of migratory anticyclones for the midwinter minimum of the North Pacific storm-track activity. We posit a viewpoint of considering roles of both migratory cyclones and anticyclones for the storm-track dynamics, the latter of which has been long disregarded unconsciously.
Data mining by watching old documentary TV programs to learn about the relationships between people’s lives and the landscape in Sakha in the perestroika era at the end of the 1980s
Authors: Nagai Shin , Kotani Ayumi , Maruya Yasuyuki , Oishi Yuka
Published: August 2022

To accurately evaluate the spatiotemporal variability of ecosystem functions and services, as well as biodiversity, under a rapidly changing climate and shifting anthropogenic activities, it is an important but challenging task to retrieve information about past relationships among society, people’s lives, and the landscape. We watched documentary TV programs broadcast by the Japanese public broadcasting station (NHK) about 30 years ago to examine these past relationships in the Republic of Sakha (formerly the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic) in eastern Siberia at the end of the 1980s (the “perestroika era”). We viewed 3 episodes of the documentary “NHK Special: The Arctic Circle” and summarized the content of the episodes. The importance of discovering mammoth tusks in this Arctic region to acquire foreign currency was highlighted, as was the relationship between nomadic peoples in Chukchi and managers of their sovkhoz. A trip down the Lena River featured the relationships of economic activities and ethnic minorities in the perestroika era, highlighting the importance of natural resources and the local environment. Despite limitations caused by production choices and historical background and unconscious bias of people at that time, and copyright and privacy issues, we concluded that old TV programs can be useful resources to retrieve information about people’s lives and landscapes in the past.
DNA sequencing, microbial sensors, and the discovery of buried mineral resources

Published: August 2022

New mineral resources are critical to both sustaining human population growth and technological improvements that will enable global decarbonization. New and innovative exploration technologies that enable detection of deeply buried mineralization and host rocks are required to meet these demands. Here we show that DNA amplicon sequencing of soil microbial communities resolves anomalies in microbial community composition and structure that reflect the surface expression of kimberlite ore bodies buried under 10s of meters of overburden. Indicator species derived from laboratory amendment experiments were employed in an exploration survey in which the species distributions effectively delineated the surface expression of buried kimberlites. Additional indicator species derived from field observations improved the blind discovery of kimberlites buried beneath similar overburden types. Application of DNA sequence-based analyses of soil microbial communities to mineral deposit exploration provides a powerful illustration of how the sensing capabilities of environmental microbial communities can be leveraged in the discovery of critical new resources.
Algorithm theoretical basis document for GEDI footprint aboveground biomass density
Authors: Kellner James , Armston John , Duncanson Laura
Published: August 2022

The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) lidar is a multibeam laser altimeter on the International Space Station (ISS). GEDI is the first spaceborne instrument designed to measure vegetation height and to quantify aboveground carbon stocks in temperate and tropical forests and woodlands. This document describes the algorithm theoretical basis underpinning the development of the GEDI Level-4A (GEDI04_A) footprint aboveground biomass density (AGBD) data product. The GEDI04_A data product contains estimates of AGBD for individual GEDI footprints and associated prediction intervals. The algorithm uses GEDI02_A relative height (RH) metrics and 13 linear models to predict AGBD in 32 combinations of plant functional type (PFT) and world region within the observation limits of the ISS. GEDI04_A models for the release 1 and release 2 data products were developed using 8,587 quality-filtered simulated GEDI waveforms associated with field estimates of AGBD in 21 countries. Although this is the most geographically comprehensive data available for the development of AGBD models using lidar remote sensing, important regions are underrepresented, including the forests of continental Asia, deciduous broadleaf forests and savannas of the dry tropics, and evergreen broadleaf forests north of Australia. We describe the scientific and mathematical assumptions required to develop globally representative estimates of AGBD using GEDI lidar, including generalization beyond training data, and exclusion of GEDI02_A observations that do not meet requirements of the GEDI04_A algorithm. The footprint-level predictions generated by this process provide globally comprehensive estimates of AGBD. These footprint-level predictions are a prerequisite for the GEDI GEDI04_B gridded AGBD data product.
Conceptualising and Measuring Pro-Environmental Morality: A Review and Proposal of the Moral Expression Theory
Authors: Zaikauskaite Laura
Published: August 2022

Research into pro-environmental morality offers no consistent use of such terminology, suggesting that the concept is not well defined in the literature. To clarify the term, I review the studies investigating the relationship between morality and pro-environmental behaviour. Of particular focus is the metaphoric understanding of how humans relate to the words ‘environment’ vs. ‘nature’. Here, I propose that metaphoric relation to nature is the underexplored factor, which could improve the predictive capacity of climate change-related behaviour studies. By synthesising the current shortcomings of academic scholarship, I outline the theory of Moral Expression as conceptually new framework within which to re-interpret the studies in the sustainability domain. This paper suggests the directions for the refinement of the moral theory of eco-friendly behaviours and their measurement methods in order to close the ‘attitude-behaviour’ gap.
The Experience of Music Perception: A Review and Synthesis of Physiological, Neural, and Psychological Responses
Authors: Kayne Joseph
Published: August 2022

Music allows artists to express and connect themselves with broad and diverse audiences. Certain musical choices can greatly impact the amount of influence the artists’ message has on an audience. To best share messages through a musical work, it can be beneficial for an artist to understand the biological processes with which the audience may experience the perception of music. The physiological, psychological, and neural responses represent the bodily effects of music and are thus informative to study in relation to the individual experience of a musical work on an individual. This paper will review the biological view of music and create a narrative to show how physiology, psychology, and neurology can be applied to influence a social or individual atmosphere toward an artist's desired message. After synthesizing the biological effects of musical feature changes (such as tempo, rhythm, volume, pleasantness, structure, music type, emotions, and audience type) this paper will make three conclusions relating to the intersection of physiology, neurology, and psychology. First, the ability to prefer or expect a musical change or feature can have a large emotional impact. Second, the arguably most important musical emotion of empathy can likely be created through rhythmic features of tempo and synchronization. Third, peak musical experiences are emotionally arousing and largely influenced by musical structure and audience setting.
Sans Forgetica font does not improve Cognitive Reflection Test performance despite differences in legibility
Authors: Cui Lucy , Harrison Lindsay , Liu Jereth
Published: August 2022

Many studies have failed to replicate the disfluency effect (i.e. disfluent font better than fluent font) on Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) performance shown in Alter et al. (2007). Those studies manipulated perceptual disfluency using color, style, size, and/or typefaces. The new Sans Forgetica (SF) typeface, designed to promote desirable difficulty, creates perceptual disfluency through fragmented letters, which make it difficult for readers to use good continuation and perceptual completion to identify letters. Here, we compare CRT performance and font legibility ratings when CRT problems are presented in SF or in Arial. After solving CRT problems, participants who solved the problems in SF rated Arial to be harder to read than participants who solved the problems in Arial, suggesting that after prolong use of SF, participants viewed Arial as being closer in legibility to SF.
APOE ε4 positivity predicts centrality of episodic memory nodes in patients with mild cognitive impairment: A cohort-based, graph theory-informed study of cognitive networks
Authors: De Marco Matteo , Wright Laura , bermejo Jose Manuel Valera , Ferguson Cameron
Published: August 2022

Published research reports inconsistent links between APOE-ε4 and cognition. We hypothesised that these links can be reliably captured by graph-theory analyses.Cognitive networks were calculated in 8,118 controls, 3,482 MCI patients and 4,573 Alzheimer’s dementia patients, recruited as part of the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center (NACC) database. Differences in nodal centrality were tested in two independent NACC sub-cohorts between ε4-carriers and non-carriers.A significant APOE-dependant effect emerged from the analysis of the Logical-Memory nodes in MCI patients in both sub-cohorts. While non-carriers showed equal centrality in immediate and delayed recall, the latter was significantly less central among carriers. These findings were replicated in the sub-groups of sole amnestic-MCI patients (n = 2,971). No effects were found in the other two diagnostic groups.APOE ε4 influences nodal properties of cognitive networks at the MCI stage. This highlights the importance of characterising the impact of risk factors on the entire cognitive network.
La cultura no es humana: permea a la naturaleza
Authors: Maldonado Carlos Eduardo
Published: August 2022

This paper claims that we are currently entering into a naturalization of culture, which is not simply an epistemological shift, but corresponds to a change of civilization. It is namely the process through which the frontiers between the human and the natural fade away. There is certainly not a unique understanding of culture; however, the concept is taken up here as a set of aspects that contribute to the civilizatory process of mankind. Nonetheless, this paper argues that culture is not a specific or distinctive feature, but, quite on the contrary, it pervades nature, from mammals down to trees. This text elaborates an archeology of culture in non-human species as a support of the argument., and at the end some conclusions are drawn.
The 'Doomsday Argument' and Ecological Catastrophe.

Published: August 2022

The so-called ‘Doomsday Argument’ of Carter, Nielsen, Leslie, Gott, and Bostrom is examined, in conjunction with attempts to refute it, in relation to the real-world prospects of catastrophic climate and environmental change, and loss of biodiversity. If the late James Lovelock was right in his hypothesis that the biosphere is protected by a ‘Gaia’ self-defence mechanism, humans may well face extinction precisely because they constitute a threat to the survival of the biosphere.
Navigating a Female Led Relationship
Authors: Danwa Alif
Published: August 2022

In the past, men always took the lead in almost all aspects of life, including work, home life, and social relationships. And society has cemented the mindset that men should be in charge of relationships too. But times have changed; paradigms have shifted. Women are now stepping up, and many of them are doing an excellent job at the forefront. That includes many women fulfilling a dominant role in their Female Led Relationship (Female Led Relationship) .However, some men are not yet ready to accept this concept. They feel that their egos will get crushed should they succumb to this relationship dynamic. Meanwhile, other men openly accept the power and leadership of the women in their lives.In this article, we will tackle the concept of a Female Led Relationship. That includes understanding what it is, what it's not, its types, tips on how to navigate it, and what it means to be in one, and the most common Female Led Relationship rules or Female Led Relationship rules.
Roles and digital identities on Twitter and Instagram: An ethnographic study of Chilean journalists
Authors: Mellado Claudia
Published: August 2022

On the basis of a digital ethnography and in-depth interviews with Chilean journalists, this study analyzes how news professionals reinterpret and redefine their professional roles on Twitter and Instagram through their practices and discourse, building different digital identities. The results of our analyses show that Twitter and Instagram strengthen and render a more complex construction of journalists’ digital selves, allowing them to build a multi-dimensional identity that goes beyond the framework defined by the media in which they work through the performance of emerging and more traditional roles: (1) the service role becomes a resource for creating community-oriented identities and for helping to resolve individuals’ everyday challenges; (2) the celebrity role supports the construction of an identity that plays with distances and social status, distinguishing and differentiating the journalist from others; (3) the promoter role allows them to promote their work and that of their media outlets as well as products and services, which generates a material benefit and gives the practices an instrumental meaning; and (4) the joker role allows them to entertain the audience and engage in a playful and critical way of observing the world through humor, irony, and sarcasm. Journalists make these roles compatible and decide which they want to use depending on their target audience and the specific platform used, validating certain practices and media strategies. In the case of Twitter, we observe a reinterpretation of traditional practices, and on Instagram we found a clearer redefinition of journalistic roles.

Published: August 2022

Abstract: The development of smart grids (SG) in the electrical network is the subject of many studies nowadays. This new technology seems to be as an additional tool and the perfect solution which the D.R. Congo could use to achieve the objectives of the efficient management of electrical energy, electrical network security, and the inclusion of renewable energy sources. The rise of these new networks brings together many economic issues.

This study is essentially focused on the incapability of the National Electricity Company (SNEL) which still retains the monopoly of production and distribution of energy to individuals, industries and mining companies. The incorporation of a system of control and management of the two-ways energy flow between the sources of electricity production and users via an intelligent distribution network, considering several specific constraints and performance required, will allow us to highlight the influence of intelligence in a distribution network as complex as that of the city of Lubumbashi. This study reviews the challenges of renewable energies in the environment of the city of Lubumbashi, the modeling of the distribution network, the introduction of intelligence control in the network and simulation using computer tools to see the contribution of these results to the entire electrical system. Finally, the integration of new renewable energy sources associated with its monitoring system is planned to stabilize this network by increasing the efficiency of the system with 25 percent in power quality.

Patient data is one of the datasets managed by the hospital. Patient data in the form of examination results and other data is important data that is private and confidential. Therefore, patient data needs to be secured so that there is no misuse of data by parties who are not responsible for things that can harm the data owner. One of the several methods that can be used to secure data is cryptography. Cryptography itself has several algorithms, one of which is blowfish. This study applies the blowfish algorithm to secure patient data in the database to reduce the possibility of data misuse by irresponsible parties. This study succeeded in implementing the blowfish algorithm for securing patient data. The data stored in the database is the result of encryption using the blowfish algorithm, the results of which are difficult to understand because there is a combination of symbols and text. The application of the algorithm affects the data storage time in the database, which originally took 0.12 seconds to save data and now takes 0.28 seconds to store data.

The problem in this research is the ability of students' critical thinking in the learning process is low, especially on science subjects in IV grade of SDIT PERSIS 99 Rancabango. It's caused by conventional learning that makes class become static and monotonous so that students aren't trained to solve a contextual question, requires reasoning, argumentation and creativity in completing it. Thís research aims to find out the influence of Quantum Learning model on students critical thinking skills of science learning  in  IV grade.The research used method of Quasi Experiment with Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sampling technique in this research is Total Sampling, which is the entire population used as a sample in research with class IVA as a control group with 25 students and class IVB as an experimental group with 25 students, so the total sample in this research amounted to 50 students. The instrument used in this research are test,  it is multiple choice questions and description questions. The Technical analysis  in this research used t-test to find out whether the Quantum Learning model of learning influences students' critical thinking abilities. The results showed the Quantum Learning model of learning had a significant influence on students' critical thinking skills in Natural Sciences subject of  IV grade in SDIT PERSIS 99 Rancabango on the subject of Conservation of Natural Resources and the environment. This is based on the result of calculate data from both of group class,  there are differences in the price of tcount with ttable, where tcount> ttable or 6.37> 2.02. So it can be concluded that the application of the Quantum Learning model can influence students' critical thinking skills in the cognitive aspects of science learning of students in fourth grade of SDIT persis 99 Rancabango Keywords: Quantum Learning, Students Critical Thinking Ability.
Elastic Trust Management in Decentralized Computing Environments

Published: August 2022

Today, the Internet trust is a critical framework that forms a fundamental premise for network security. Several identity federations are deployed to embody the classic theory of trust framework. However, in an emerging blockchain-based decentralized system, we need to model dynamically grown/shrunken trust. This paper models the trust elasticity by formalizing PDP(policy decision point)s of enrolling entities and introducing Trust PDP. In the proposed formalization, assertions are exchanged among participating nodes to express the knowledge of the PDP of nodes. The knowledge may grow by exchanging assertions. Furthermore, we propose exchanging assertions on the trust relationship to express the elasticity of trust. The judgment on trust is operated by Trust PDP that affects the elasticity of trust. The proposed theory is applied to the trust establishment of blockchain and an authorization management system based on blockchain. The trust in the blockchain environment is expressed in terms of Trust PDP.

Traffic psychology covers not only the act of driving but also includes inherent phenomena such as accidents, violations, and the generation of emotions. This article proposes the development of a driving simulator within the video game Grand Theft Auto V, taking advantage of the artificial intelligence of characters that interact with the player, as well as other drivers and pedestrians. The implementation includes the adaptation of steering wheel type controls and the creation of a mod in C# for data collection and export. This implementation seeks to obtain useful data for the analysis of the behavior of the drivers evaluated during the driving tests carried out in three virtual circuits within a city. By performing the tests with drivers of different levels of experience, it was possible to verify the effectiveness of the tool in its use and realism. According to the individuals evaluated, the simulator achieved an average realism of 4.6 on a Likert scale from 1 to 5. Likewise, the results obtained show that the data collected by the simulator is less biased than those obtained through a post-driving survey.

When a major public health incident breaks out, in order to prevent the explosion of multiple types of public opinion, relevant government departments need to guide the online public opinion according to the needs and characteristics of different audiences in order to achieve reasonable regulation and control. In this process, gender differences among the participating public in areas such as comprehension ability often affect the effectiveness of government guidance. A proper understanding of these differences will enable the government to allocate resources on the basis of needs to save resources and achieve the same goals with half the effort. This paper takes the outbreak of the COVID-19 as an example to analyze the gender differences among users in terms of the overall volume of participation and specific participation behaviors from the dimension of time and geographical locations. A total of 735,271 comments posted by users in responding to tweets published by 144 official government accounts on Weibo during the COVID-19 outbreak were collected and analyzed with a combination of the methods of natural language processing and propensity score analysis. The results show that in comparison to male users, female users participated more, and their responses were more emotionally expressive. Female users tended to respond faster than male users by 30 minutes to an hour, which allowed female users to play a more important role in the process of government guidance of public opinion during major public health incidents. Therefore, this study further provides policy recommendations for the government to provide reasonable guidance of public opinion and give future direction.

The increasingly effective managing of risks in construction projects requires the stakeholders to collaborate, resulting in the need to integrate the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to mitigate the risks in project collaboration. Our understanding of strategic planning of BIM adoption amidst a pandemic is still limited, and it is widely accepted that COVID-19 is a long-term pandemic that require a constant and innovative range of mitigation approaches to protect public health. The significant construction advances emphasize remote work and digital tools that assist in the project’s on-time completion. A fully digitalized approach is necessary for service continuity and rapid processing, particularly during a pandemic. Therefore, this study develops an adaptive digital collaboration framework based on Cloud-Based BIM technology to reduce risks while increasing workplace productivity and mobility. It resulted in a new way of managing the project information, enhancing the design team collaboration, and transforming 2D plans into 3D models. It integrates information to take a building through a virtual construction process long before it is completed, and each team member has access to the most up-to-date and current project information.
