Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Yeom Eun Yi , Seo Kawoun
Published: January 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effects of caring efficacy on the relationship between aging anxiety and attitude toward caring for the older adults in nursing students.
Methods The participants were 142, 3rd and 4th year nursing students in C and J provinces. Data were collected from May 25 to August 11, 2023, through a self-reported structured questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, hierarchical multiple re-gression, and Sobel test using the SPSS 23.0 program.
Results Aging anxiety correlated negatively with caring efficacy and attitude toward caring for the older adults. Care efficacy correlated positively with attitude toward caring for the older adults. Second, care efficacy was ob-served to have a complete mediating role in the relationship between the subject's aging anxiety and attitude to-ward caring for the older adults. In other words, it was found that aging anxiety among nursing students affects attitude toward caring for the older adults by changing caring efficacy.
Conclusions Through this study, it was confirmed that there is a need to improve care efficacy in nursing students to improve their attitude toward caring for the older adults in the presence of aging anxiety. Therefore, when de-veloping a program on nursing students' attitudes toward caring for the older adults in the future, it is necessary to develop a systematic program that includes elements of care efficacy.
The impact of Koreans' income level and evaluation of one’s lives on overall happiness: Verification of the mediation effect moderated by stress level
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Hyeeun , Keum Changmin
Published: January 2024

Objectives This study aimed to explore the mechanisms linking income and happiness, focusing on how Korean individuals' self-evaluation of their lives and stress levels influence this relationship among various other variables.
Methods To this end, we used the 2022 data from the National Assembly Future Research Institute's ‘Korean Happiness Survey’ to determine how stress regulates the impact of income level and life evaluation on happiness, and 12,998 people were surveyed, excluding those without personal income. The moderated mediation model was verified using the responses.
Results As a result, first, the suitability of the measurement model was verified, and all direct effects between latent variables were found to be significant. Second, in the relationship between Koreans' income level and overall happiness, we confirmed through a conditional indirect effect test whether the indirect effect of life evaluation is moderated by stress. As a result, the conditional indirect effect was found to be significant regardless of the stress level.
Conclusions Discussions and implications were described based on the results of this study, and suggestions for follow-up research were made.
The Effect of Behavioral Activation System and Behavioral Inhibition System on SNS Addiction Proneness: The Mediation Effect of SNS Use Motives and the Moderation Effect of Self-Control and Distress Tolerance
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kang Na-Yeon , Lee Young-Ho
Published: January 2024

Objectives The purpose of the study examines the effects of the behavioral activation system(BAS) and the be-havioral inhibition system(BIS) on social network service(SNS) addiction proneness, the mediation effect of SNS use motives, and the moderated mediation effect of self-control and distress tolerance in the link between BAS, BIS, SNS use motives, and SNS addiction proneness.
Methods BAS, BIS, SNS use motives, self-control, distress tolerance, and SNS addiction proneness of 342 adults were measured online.
Results First, BAS and BIS predicted SNS addiction proneness. Second, positive reinforcement motives mediated the relationship between BAS and SNS addiction proneness, and negative reinforcement motives mediated the relationship between BIS and SNS addiction proneness. Third, self-control moderated the mediation effect of positive reinforcement motives between BAS and SNS proneness among passive users. Fourth, distress tolerance moderated the path from negative reinforcement motives to SNS addiction proneness in the mediation model.
Conclusions These results expanded the understanding of the effect of the organic and motivational factors on SNS addiction proneness, and suggested that distress tolerance could have a significant role in reducing the effect of BIS on SNS addiction proneness.
The relationship between Maternal Ideology and Parenting Stress in Mother of middle and high school students: The Mediated Effects of Mother’s Child-Based Self-Worth and Positive Mother-Child Relationship
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Park Bong-Heon , Baek Yong-Mae
Published: January 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mothering ideology on parenting stress and to access the mediating effects of mother’s child-based self-worth and positive mother-child relationship.
Methods To this end, 279 middle-aged women who live in large cities, including **, **, ** were chosen as subjects for this study. The noted structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data.
Results We compared the model fits of the research model and the competition model, and found that the com-petition model was the best model for the present data. The results of the study showed that there are relation-ships between noted mother’s child-based self-worth fully mediated as noted in the relationship between moth-ering ideology and positive mother-child relationship, and positive mother-child relationship fully mediated as seen in the relationship between mother’s child-based self-worth and parenting stress. These findings indicated that the incident of mothering ideology influenced parenting stress through mother’s child-based self-worth and positive mother-child relationship with dual mediation effects.
Conclusions The deeper the mother's ideology is internalized, the more a mother’s child-based self-worth to child, which means that the mother becomes less positive about her relationship with the child, resulting in pa-renting stress. That’s why the results of this study provides insight into specific psychological mechanisms that mothering ideology effects parenting stress of the middle-aged women. Also, it has significant meaning the can be used as empirical basis data to seek counseling strategies to decrease parenting stress of middle-aged woman.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Nam Young-Sook
Published: January 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for designing a sustainable curriculum by analyzing the curriculum of teacher education universities by using ESG literacy content elements as an analysis tool as a way to introduce ESG in universities.
Methods This study was conducted using a literature study analyzing previous studies related to understanding ESG and extracted content elements necessary for cultivating ESG knowledge. Four teacher training universities were selected as the subjects of this study. To analyze the curriculum, we used the ‘2023 Curriculum’ provided on the websites of four teacher training colleges. In order to improve the validity of the study, four experts were interviewed to collect opinions on the validity of the analysis tool and the validity of the curriculum analysis results.
Results First, the university's ESG education content elements were extracted by dividing them into environment (E), society (S), and governance (G). Second, as a result of analyzing the curriculum of the four teacher training col-leges, it was found that overall, the operation of the curriculum related to ESG understanding was very insufficient. Although it contains some content elements that are related to the E and S dimensions, the subjects of the G di-mension were found to be very insufficient. Third, as a way to include ESG understanding elements in the curricu-lum of teacher training colleges to improve the ESG capabilities of prospective teachers, it is necessary to include ESG content elements in major subjects rather than liberal arts subjects.
Conclusions The significance of this study is to derive implications for curriculum operation by extracting ESG un-derstanding content elements of teacher training colleges for sustainable curriculum operation and analyzing the curriculum based on this. By improving the ESG understanding capacity of prospective teachers in the era of cli-mate crisis and environmental crisis, teachers at school will be able to contribute to sustainable school operation.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Ju Yeong-ju , Kim En-mi
Published: January 2024

Objectives This study was attempted to determine the correlation between nursing students' problem-solving ability, academic resilience, and nursing professional intuition, and to determine the influence of variables on problem-solving ability.
Methods Data were collected using a structured questionnaire targeting 169 nursing students in County M, and the final 160 copies were analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 program. Data analysis used frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlations, and multiple regression analysis.
Results Nursing students' problem-solving ability had a statistically significant positive correlation with academic resilience (r=.675, p<.001) and nursing professional intuition (r=.498, p<.001). As a result of conducting a hier-archical multiple regression analysis by inputting religious status and grades, which showed significant differences in problem-solving ability among general characteristics, the influence on problem-solving ability was determined by grades (β=.25, p=.002) and academic resilience (β=.65, p<.001) and nursing professional intuition (β=.33, p<.001) explained 58.1% (F=41.10, p<.001), and among the three variables, academic resilience was associated with problem-solving ability. was explained the most at 48.4%.
Conclusions Nursing students' grades, academic resilience, and nursing professional intuition are important influ-encing factors that promote problem-solving ability, and among these, academic resilience was confirmed to be the factor that most explains problem-solving ability. Therefore, in order to improve the problem-solving ability of nursing students, a nursing education strategy that takes into account academic resilience and nursing pro-fessional intuition is needed, and nursing education programs and professional skills that improve the sub-areas of learning control ability, divergent thinking, execution, and risk-taking ability are needed. Specific strategic re-search is needed to expand social awareness of nurses.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Ji-hye
Published: January 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine whether a positive psychology group counseling program had a positive effect on the self-esteem, emotional control, and resilience of the youth at risk.
Methods To this end, we developed a group counseling program for organizational youth based on positive psy-chology through a four-step process of goal setting, preliminary research, program and improvement. In early April 2023, problem youth were identified through a screening scale, and after going through the process of agreeing to participate, on September 10th, starting in April, once a week for 2 hours (100 minutes) for a total of 10 people. The program was explained 7 times, a total of 14 times. Mann-Whitney U insurance is claimed to verify the homo-geneity of the experimental group and comparison group, Wilcoxen Matched Pair Signed-Rank claim is claimed to claim the pre-post score change of the experimental group and comparison group, and group is claimed. Analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test.
Results As a result of analyzing the effectiveness of a positive psychology group counseling program for at-risk youth, the post-average for self-esteem, emotional control, and resilience all increased statistically significantly compared to the pre-average. Through this, it can be seen that the positive psychology group counseling program has a positive effect on the self-esteem, emotional control, and resilience of the youth at risk.
Conclusions The possibility of a positive psychology group counseling program was confirmed as a way to in-crease the self-esteem, emotional control, and resilience of the youth at risk. In other words, it is very important for youth in crisis to focus on positive aspects such as personal strengths and virtues, rather than focusing on neg-ative aspects.
Buckling of Steel Conical Panels Reinforced with Stiffeners
Authors: Semenov Alexey A. , Kondratieva Lidiia N. , Glukhikh Vladimir N.
Published: January 2024

Conical shells and their panels are important elements of building structures, but have not been studied sufficiently. This paper explores buckling of truncated steel conical panels reinforced with an orthogonal grid of stiffener plates. The panels are simply supported and are subjected to external uniformly distributed transverse load acting normal to the surface. A geometrically nonlinear mathematical model that takes into account lateral shearing is used. Two options of describing the effect of stiffener plates are considered: the refined discrete method and the method of structural anisotropy (the stiffness of the plates is “smeared”). The computational algorithm is based on the Ritz method and the method of continuing the solution using the best parameter. The algorithm is implemented using Maple analytical computing software. The values of critical buckling loads were obtained for two cases of conical panels with different stiffener options. The load-deflection curves are presented. The convergence of the methods for describing the effect of stiffeners with the increase in their number is discussed. It was found that for conical panels, when choosing a small number of unknown coefficients in the approximation, the value of the critical load may be “overshot”, and it is necessary to select a larger number of unknowns compared to cylindrical panels or flat shells of double curvature.
Investigation of Structural Characteristics of Carbon Nanomaterials as Modifier Components for Construction Composites
Authors: Tolchkov Yuri N.
Published: January 2024

The study analyzed the structural characteristics of carbon nanomaterials obtained at different time parameters of the synthesis based on X-ray diffractometry, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning microscopy. According to the Raman spectroscopy and X-ray scattering data, the crystallite size of nanotubes is estimated to be in the range from 9 to 38 nm. With the synthesis time of 90 minutes, the nanotube crystallite size remains minimal in comparison with other samples, which is confirmed, among other things, by various diagnostic methods. Based on the X-ray diffraction data, the Lc and La crystallite sizes (longitudinal and perpendicular to the direction of the carbon layers) were calculated using the Selyakov-Scherrer formula. The sizes of nanotube crystallites as a result of increasing the synthesis time are in the range of 9-12 nm in the longitudinal direction and 22-38 nm in the perpendicular direction. The diffraction patterns of the samples do not reflect the presence of a significant amount of graphite; the intensity structure is predominantly in the (002) and (004) peaks, which are characteristic of nanotubes. As a result of the use of nanotubes as a modifier component with a synthesis duration from 40 to 90 minutes, an increase in the performance of the composite up to 20-25 % relative to the control sample is observed.

Published: January 2024

Fungicide application has been reported to effectively manage fungal disease that causes 10 to 80 % of the average annual estimated loss, including management costs to potatoes during the production cycle in Russia. The annual agricultural losses caused by these pathogens are highly significant. A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years (2022 and 2023), using a potato varietal line and two fungicides (Zummer and Shirlan) to assess the efficiency of newly introduced and previously used fungicides on potato disease Phytophthora infestans (potato blight), Rhizoctonia solani (Black scurf), Streptomyces scabies (Common scab), and Fusarium spp. (Fusarium dry rot). The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replicates. Generally, treatment 5 exhibited the highest pathogen severity population and lowest fresh tuber yield of potatoes. Treatments 2 and 4 (Zimmer and Shirlan at 0.4 L/ha) concentrations had the lowest pathogen severity population and highest fresh tuber yield of the crop studied in the experiment. Both treatments 2 and 4 had a statistically similar high tolerance to the disease pressure, contributing to an increase in fresh tuber yield of 10.25 t/ha. Treatment 5, which had the highest pathogen population, exhibited the lowest fresh tuber yield of 9.36 t/ha. This research demonstrated that the fungicides Zimmer and Shirlan significantly lowered the severity and interaction of all potato diseases studied. Therefore, the study confirmed that the application of Zimmer and Shirlan fungicides at four spraying intervals at a concentration rate of 0.4 L/ha within the developmental stages (budding, beginning of flowering, flowering, and end of flowering) effectively reduces disease development, damage caused by these potato diseases, and increases yield.
Differentiation as One of the Basic Mechanisms of Language Acquisition
Authors: Dobrova Galina R.
Published: January 2024

In the process of speech ontogenesis, various mechanisms of language acquisition play different roles. Both basic and auxiliary mechanisms can be distinguished. The basic mechanisms are proposed to include generalization, differentiation and imitation. The role of differentiation in speech ontogenesis is very significant, and this mechanism plays a special role in language acquisition by boys, primarily expressive ones. The study is based on records of spontaneous speech of young children, as well as on the experimental data. The main part of the study is based on the data of the experiment with 16 children - 8 referential (4 girls and 4 boys) and 8 expressive (4 girls and 4 boys). As a result, in contrast to previous studies, it is concluded that there is no clear evidence that the role of differentiation in the speech ontogenesis of expressive children is significantly more important than its role in the speech ontogenesis of referential children. At the same time, the assumption made earlier that differentiation is more significant for boys than for girls is confirmed. The obtained results are proposed to be interpreted as follows: the referential children, and girls in the first place, are more capable of generalization as the most basic mechanism of language acquisition. At the same time, all children, both referential and expressive, tend to rely on differentiation, but the lower ability to rely on generalization in expressive children than in referential children leads to the fact that they (especially the expressive boys) are forced to rely on one of the other two basic mechanisms of language acquisition - differentiation or imitation. Since differentiation is a more basic mechanism of language acquisition than imitation, the reliance on differentiation in expressive children is especially significant. Therefore, reliance on differentiation, with an insufficient ability to rely on generalization, plays a particularly significant role in the process of speech ontogenesis of expressive children, and, first of all, boys.
Semiotics of Emoticons and Emoji in the Discoursive Space of Spanish Political Internet Communication
Authors: Larionova Marina V. , Demkina Anastasia V.
Published: January 2024

The purpose of the study is to establish significance of graphic symbols - semiotic, cognitive and functional characteristics of emoticons and emoji as paralinguistic means of written communication in Spanish political Internet communication. The materials of the study are the publications of Spanish government bodies, political parties and politicians in the official Twitter accounts. The relevance of the study stems from the need to analyze the functional and impact potential of emoticons and emoji as an integral part of modern Spanish political discourse in the Internet and determine their characteristics from the standpoint of theoretical linguistics, discourse theory, semiotics and pragmalinguistics. The paper concludes that the semiotic characteristics of emoji and emoticons as iconic signs and symbols allow them to perform a number of important functions in the discursive Internet communication, for instance, nominative - identifying referents, due to the fact that they are associated with them by physical similarity; syntactic - structuring the punctuation and intonation contour of the message; cognitive - conveying additional conventional meanings implied by the interpretation of the represented objects; communicative - creating an intonation contour and emotional background of the message; influencing - setting the vector of pragmatic interpretation of the message and its empathic component. At the same time, the verbal and non-verbal components of polycode Internet messages are not opposed to each other, but mutually determine the integral perception, representation and interpretation of reality.
Structural and Semantic Features and National Specificity of English and Russian Proverbs with the Meaning ‘Old’, ‘Young’
Authors: Orlova Tatiana G.
Published: January 2024

The problem of perception of age in the folk consciousness, which is studied on the basis of proverbs in the English and Russian languages with the meaning “old”, “young”, touches on issues that are relevant for all people - awareness of the laws of human existence, therefore, turning to proverb material in the context of this issue seems relevant and productive. The main objective of this study is to compare proverbs of the Russian and English languages on this topic in the aspect of structural and semantic analysis and to reveal important features of the national and cultural thinking of both peoples. The first aim of the study is to identify and systematize the basic meanings of proverbs, which reveal a view on the accomplishments of old people and the inherent advantages of an old age; a look at the problem of the state of the body and spirit, which depends not only on age, but also on the inner determination; the disadvantages of the old age and the problem of its inevitability; the virtues and traits of the youth, as well as its weaknesses; a look at typical traits that are traditionally associated with age, but do not depend on it, and, finally, the opposition of the old age and the youth both in the context of confrontation and in the context of cooperation and complementarity. The second aim is to determine the similarities and differences in the choice of linguistic and figurative means in proverbs of the two languages. Proverbs use linguistic devices such as comparison, conformation, opposition, metaphor, metonymy, personification, gradation, hyperbole, irony, allegory, paradox. Similar means of expressive syntax are distinguished: asyndeton, impersonal sentences, syntactic parallelism, ellipsis, compression, rhythmic and phonetic arrangement of proverbs, imperative and conditional sentences, and for the Russian language - infinitive and generalized-personal sentences. Proverbs use expressive vocabulary: zoonyms, somatisms, and Russian proverbs also more often use archaisms, vernacular, words with reduced stylistic colouring and words with diminutive suffixes (diminutives). The novelty of the study lies in the choice of research methodology based on the systematization of proverbial material into groups within the chosen topic and the comparative structural and semantic analysis of proverbs in each thematic group along with revealing similarities and differences in the choice of methods of expressiveness, figurative motivation, figurative means, as well as lexical components and syntactic structure in the proverbs of two languages. The analysis made it possible to show the nationally specific features of the understanding of the main characteristics of the old and young age by both peoples, as well as to identify the role of linguistic means that reflect the specifics of their mentality.
Stylistic Syntax of the Middle French Poetical Literary Composition
Authors: Vyshenskaya Yuliya P.
Published: January 2024

The study suggests some evidence of studying the “poetic style” of the initial stage. The stage corresponds to the mediaeval European period. The actual character of the work is determined by the stable interest to the category under study in the scientific society as well as by the unstable character of the contents of its meaningful volume. The analytical procedure being realized on the literary heritage of troubadours and trouvères, contributes to the research challenge of the paper. The analysis made is aimed at the study of the specific features of the style generating processes on the poetic texts in the universal context of the medieval culture. The purpose of the work makes necessary solving a number of particular tasks, namely, clarifying and description the poetic style connections with its original roots, the role of the literary-stylistic traditions and medieval aesthetic conceptions in the style generating processes, stylistic traditional and individual proportion. Thus, the study contributes to the number of complex investigations of textual categories within the scope of diachrony and synchrony to be expanded. To achieve the tasks traditional methods are used, i.e., descriptive-analytical, contextual, philological interpretation of the text. Ancient texts study, a case of particular practical applying of the triad “text - style - discourse”, causes the address to the idea of particular and universal discourses. Style, the materialized aesthetic emotion, is considered as the result of the materialization of courtois ideals by means of a certain set of stylistic devices, differentiated in the literary compositions of the courtois Provençal school. Syntactic segment gains in the course of time the etalon status. Due to the volatility of particular discourses of the universal courtois cultural discourse the courtois etalon of the mature stage of the courtois lyrics development, under some altering turned into the etalon of the Northern courtois modification, close to the Provençal one. The analysis also confirms the fact of some existence courtois universalia modified in the courtois discourse.

Armas y política la constante histórica: política sin armas condición para consolidar la paz y la buena administración
Authors: Pineda Jiménez Jacinto
Published: January 2024

Este ensayo hace una reflexiona sobre la relación política, armas y administración pública en la historia de Colombia. Relación inmersa en un acumulado de hechos violentos con sus disímiles actores e intereses donde el recurrir a las armas fue marcando la configuración del Estado y la ausencia de relaciones ciudadanas de convivencia. A partir de los acuerdos de paz de la Habana, en especial el punto dos sobre participación política y la carta iberoamericana de los derechos y deberes del ciudadano en relación con la administración pública, aprobada por el CLAD en el año 2013 el ensayo se propone analizar los obstáculos hacia la buena administración, que a su vez es condición sine qua non para alcanzar una paz estable y duradera.La relación entre armas y política ha modelado el Estado colombiano a partir de la apropiación violenta de lo público por parte de los diversos actores armados en la historia de Colombia. El uso de la violencia en la política es también un impedimento para la consolidación de un espacio público, por antonomasia el escenario del encuentro entre la sociedad y el Estado, lo cual da al traste con una buena administración, entendida como aquella que promueva los derechos fundamentales y la dignidad de las personas.

Authors: Taylor Christine , Badawi Nadia , Novak Iona , Foster Jann
Published: January 2024

Feeding difficulties in children with cerebral palsy are common, yet
there is no comprehensive view of the caregivers’ experiences. This
review utilized the JBI meta-aggregation approach to synthesize
qualitative literature regarding the feeding experiences of caregivers
of children with cerebral palsy. Using a comprehensive search strategy
databases and grey literature were searched that identified 619 studies
for screening, with 11 studies included in the review: 239 findings were
extracted for analysis resulting in 22 categories and six synthesized
findings. The synthesized findings included the impact of feeding on
caregivers and the family, feeding and feeding difficulties, caregivers’
perceptions of support, feeding as an essential part of being a mother
and family, feeding decisions, and impact of a gastrostomy tube. The
review captured studies that varied in country (income type) and method
of feeding. Credibility and dependability for all synthesized findings
were at the moderate level.

Published: January 2024

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of GeneXpert MTB/RIF Ultra
(Ultra) for the early diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis (TBM).
Methods: Seventy-nine patients were analyzed. Mycobacterium tuberculosis
was measured in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), using Ultra, GeneXpert
MTB/RIF (Xpert), Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing (mNGS), and
Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) assays. The detection
performance and rifampicin drug sensitivity of each method were analyzed
based on clinical diagnoses. Results: The sensitivity (56.4%), area
under the curve (AUC, 0.782), and Kappa value (0.521) of Ultra were
higher than the sensitivity, AUC, and Kappa value of MGIT (20%, 0.600,
0.236), Xpert (40%, 0.700, 0.236), and mNGS (32.7%, 0.664, 0.352). In
the 31 Ultra positive cases, 24 were rifampicin susceptible, and 7 were
rifampicin indeterminate. Conclusion: The Ultra assay detected
Mycobacterium tuberculosis in CSF with higher sensitivity, compared with
other assays. Thus, the Ultra test can be used for the early diagnosis
of TBM.

Published: January 2024

Non-albicans Candida (NAC) species are emerging causes of all Candidemia
infections, but relatively less is known about the immune responses
induced by these species. In this study, we compared the ability of
cytokine production by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)
upon stimulation with different Candida species. We measured secreted
cytokines by ELISA and checked the functional profile of T cell
responses at a single-cell level by multi-color flow cytometry
technique. Though there was a differential expression of cytokines
against the Candida species, a significant difference was observed in
the levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-10, IL-12p40, and IL-23
(p<0.05) between the Candida species. There is a significant
difference was observed between C. albicans and C. glabrata (p-0.026) in
the levels of TNF-α. C. glabrata showed significant difference with C.
albicans, C. parapsilosis and C. krusei in the levels of IL-10. Despite
the percentages of CD4+ and CD8+ expressing Th1, Th2 and Th17 cytokines
being higher in stimulated PBMC, none of the Candida species showed
significant differences. The levels of secreted IL-17A and IL-23 were
consistently lower in Candida species regardless of the stimulus used.
Here we showed the differential regulation of the Th1, Th2 and Th17
during Candida species stimulation of the immune system in vitro. Our
results also indicate that while C. albicans induces a Th1 response, C.
glabrata induces Th2 cellular responses. This study could enhance our
knowledge of differential immune responses induced by Candida species
and may help to develop immunotherapeutics and vaccines.

Published: January 2024

Electrochemical conversion of NO3- to NH3 production is of great
environmental significance for water pollution treatment and can
artificially close the nitrogen cycle. However, direct nine proton and
eight electron transfer leads to low Faraday efficiency (FE) and yield.
Herein, the single copper site immobilized on N, P co-doped carbon
substrates (Cu-N4/P) was prepared for efficient NO3–to-NH3 conversion.
Benefiting from electronic redistribution of Cu site induced by the
introduction of the less electronegative element P, Cu-N4/P catalyst has
superior catalytic properties to the comparison sample, including 100%
NO3- conversion, high FE (96.12%) and NH3 yield (124.22 mmol/(h·gcat)).
Density functional theory (DFT) explains the effective operation
mechanism that P doping can promote the spontaneous hydrogenation of *NO
to form *NOH, thus promoting the formation of NH3 from NO3- reduction
reaction. The heteroatom doping strategy mentioned proposes a new
approach for promoting NO3–to-NH3 conversion at atomic level catalytic
sites.

Flexible sodium-ion batteries are considered as the most promising
flexible energy storage devices due to their bendability, low cost and
high safety. However, the development of anode materials with high rate
and long cycle stability is a key step in the development and
application of flexible sodium ion batteries. Here, a simple vacuum
filtration method is reported to obtain a bimetallic heterojunction
structure. The heterojunction exhibits better performance than any
single-phase material in sodium ion diffusion and storage. The results
show that the electron rich Se site and the internal electric field
generated by the electron transfer between cobalt selenide and nickel
selenide in the heterojunction structure can provide abundant
electrochemically active sites and effectively promote the electron
transport in the process of sodiation/desodiation. The reversible
capacity of NiCoSex/CG electrode obtained by heterojunction design is up
to 338 mAh·g-1 at 0.1 A·g-1, and the capacity attenuation is ignorable
at 2 A·g-1 for 2000 cycles. In addition, the assembled flexible full
battery shows very good reversibility and output stability under bending
and crimping. This idea of obtaining high performance anode of sodium
ion battery by designing heterojunction structure can provide a new
vision for the design and synthesis of other materials.

Recent studies have shown that exosomes are involved in pathogenesis and
in the treatment of various tumors and inflammatory diseases. We
examined the impacts of exosomes released from Talaromyces marneffei (T.
marneffei)-infected macrophages on human macrophages to determine
whether they play a role in the pathogenesis of T. marneffei infection.
Exosomes derived from macrophages were extracted using commercial kits
and characterized by transmission electron microscopy and western blot.
Further, we examine exosomes that regulate IL-10 and TNF-α production
and activation of p42 and p44 extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1
and 2 (ERK1/2) and activation of autophagy. We found that exosomes
induced activation of ERK1/2 and autophagy, IL-10 and TNF-α production
in human macrophages. Furthermore, exosomes decreased the replication of
T. marneffei in T. marneffei-infected human macrophages. Interestingly,
exosomes isolated from T. marneffei-infected but not from uninfected
macrophages can stimulate a proinflammtory response in resting
macrophages. Our studies are the first to demonstrate that exosomes
isolated from T. marneffei-infected macrophages can induce a
proinflammatory response, and we hypothesize that exosomes play
significant roles in activation of ERK1/2 and autophagy, the replication
of T. marneffei and cytokine release during T. marneffei infection.
Identification of Ferroptosis-Related Genes in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Based on the Machine Learning

Published: January 2024

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which has a high incidence
and several harmful consequences, poses a severe danger to human health.
More research is being done on ferroptosis’ function in T2DM. This study
uses a bioinformatics technique to look for new diagnostic T2DM
biomarkers associated with ferroptosis. Methods: In order to identify
ferroptosis-related genes (DEGs) that are differently expressed between
T2DM patients and healthy individuals, we first obtained T2DM sequencing
data and ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) from the Gene Expression
Omnibus (GEO) database and FerrDb database. Then, drug-gene interaction
networks and ceRNA networks linked to the marker genes were built after
marker genes were filtered by two machine learning algorithms (LASSO and
SVM-RFE algorithms). Finally, to confirm the expression of marker genes,
the GSE76895 dataset was utilized. Results: We obtained 58 DEGs
associated with ferroptosis. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that
these DGEs were significantly enriched in hypoxia and ferroptosis.
Subsequently, eight marker genes (SCD, CD44, HIF1A, BCAT2, MTF1, HILPDA,
NR1D2 and MYCN) were screened by LASSO and SVM- RFE machine learning
algorithms, and a model was constructed based on these eight genes. This
model also has a high diagnostic power, and three ferroptosis genes
(HIF1A, HILPDA and SCD) are strongly associated with hypoxia and lipid
metabolism in T2DM. These newly discovered marker genes may be linked to
alterations in the immune microenvironment in T2DM patients. In
addition, based on these 8 genes, we obtained 48 drugs and a complex
ceRNA network map. Conclusions: The diagnosis and etiology of T2DM can
be greatly aided by eight ferroptosis-related genes, opening up novel
therapeutic avenues.

Published: January 2024

Converting CO2 with various epoxides to cyclic carbonates is extremely
important. However, most of catalysts for such conversion either require
complicated fabrication or are obtained from unsustainable sources.
Motivated by this problem, we prepare biomass-based “all-in-one”
carbon dots as nano-organocatalysts for firstly converting CO2 to cyclic
carbonates. In this work, carbon dots (CD@KI) with high catalytic
performance and good recyclability are prepared from sodium phytate
(SP), polyethylenimine (PEI) and KI using one-pot hydrothermal treatment
featuring cheap precursors and simple operation. Assisted by highly
catalytic activity of CD@KI, up to 99.5% yield is achieved for
converting CO2 and various epoxides to cyclic carbonates under mild
conditions (solvent-free and 1 atm of CO2). Moreover, the conversion
yield is maintained for reactions up to ten grams in scale.
Significantly, by taking advantage of the inherent luminescence of
CD@KI, the as-formed cyclic carbonates catalyzed by CD@KI can be
directly converted to afterglow polymer composites.
