Authors: Indayani Indayani , Izzal Fitriatul
Published: May 2024

Dalam kumpulan cerpennya, praktik sosial Lelucon Para Koruptor karya Agus Noor. Norman Fairclough, seorang analis wacana kritis, menyelubungi analisis teks, praktik wacana, dan praktik sosial. Fokus peneliti dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian praktik sosial. Meskipun analisis wacana deskriptif menganggap wacana sebagai realitas teks bahasa, analisis wacana kritis sering dianggap bertentangan dengannya. Alasan peneliti memilih untuk menggunakan cerpen ini adalah karena mengangkat isu korupsi di bangsa ini, bercerita dengan cara yang unik, dan menunjukkan bagaimana kelompok sosial yang berbeda berjuang mempertahankan ideologi mereka, menegakkan hukum supremasi ketika itu dilanggar, dan memulihkan kekuatan yang telah lama diterima sebagai fakta kehidupan sosial sehari-hari. Analisis wacana kritis adalah metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Pendekatan ini berfokus pada detail linguistik dan situasi yang terkait dengan detail yang berkaitan dengan konten cerita pendek. Interpretasi gramatikal dan interpretasi psikologis adalah dua gagasan utama dalam studi hermeneutika. Kumpulan cerpen Lelucon Para Koruptor karya Agus Noor dijadikan sebagai sumber data penelitian. Dokumentasi melengkapi data penelitian. Komponen praktik sosial dipisahkan menjadi tiga bagian: situasional, institusional, dan sosial, yang menilai kesesuaian situasi dan hubungan antara lingkungan tertentu, pengaruh institusional, dan cita-cita yang berlaku di masyarakat. Sesuai temuan studi yang dimuat dalam kumpulan cerpen Lelucon Para Koruptor, yang meliputi kemiskinan (kekurangan akses terhadap pangan, sandang, dan kasih sayang orang tua), kriminalitas, disfungsi keluarga, politik, dan korupsi. Kumpulan cerpen ini menggunakan cara pencarian yang sinis, interpretatif, dan kocak, baik secara langsung maupun tidak langsung.

АНАЛІЗ КІЛЬКІСНОГО ПРОЯВУ СВОБОДИ ВИБОРУ З ВИКОРИСТАННЯМ ДЛЯ ЦЬОГО ЇЇ БАЗОВИХ ПРОТИЛЕЖНОСТЕЙ
Authors: ТЮЛЬКІН Олександр
Published: May 2024

Анотація. Метою є аналіз феномену свободи вибору, його кількості, використовуючи для цього обмеження як зворотну сторону свободи вибору. Методологічними засадами слід вважати декілька ключових наукових методів, які дозволяють нам обходитися без необхідності сприймати виключно складники свободи, щоб сформувати критерії її кількості у категорії вибору. Наприклад, метод герменевтичного кола, який являє собою взаємозв’язок цілого та частин. Або принцип діалектичного протиріччя, який будучи частиною філософського методу, може бути використаний, щоб зосередитися не тільки на цілих частинах, а й незначних. Та низка інших класичних методів, що були у цьому комплексному дослідженні свободи вибору, обмежень та їх кількісної ознаки. Тому у нашому розумінні свобода вибору не закінчується там, де починаються межі протилежного, вона продовжує набувати ознак, але в різній кількісній та якісній орієнтації. Це так званий «аналіз протилежностей» через реверсивне тлумачення або позиціювання від зворотного елемента. Наприклад, у такому разі свобода – це та кількість обмежень, яка перепадає людині протягом життя. Наукова новизна. Якщо раціонально проводити дослідження стосовно феномену свободи вибору, враховуючи при цьому його реальний прояв у нашому житті, то можна зазначити важливість такого критерію, як кількість свободи. Це умовний критерій, що загалом оцінюється за наявністю дійсних можливостей або їх відсутності. У такому разі було звернено увагу на те, що свобода вибору – це не лише прояв свободи, а так само і її протилежностей. Саме тому нас цікавив не просто факт наявності певного прояву вибору, але і його критерії кількості (які завжди можуть складатися від двох визначень та більше), щоб сформувати відповідне уявлення про дійсність сучасного людського вибору. У межах цієї концепції антиподом свободи вибору були обмеження, якраз вони і виступили формальним прикладом кількісної ознаки свободи вибору. Висновки. Результати цього дослідження доволі прості, але тільки тому, що нам вдалося їх сформувати таким чином, щоб це було просто та доступно. Спочатку це відповіді на окремі питання, наприклад, про реальне існування такого формулювання, як кількість свободи вибору, яку дійсно може бути озвучено, але в основному тільки окремими науковцями, які для цього інтерпретують показник свободи вибору згідно з проявами нашої життєдіяльності на практиці. Для нас такими проявами стали обмеження. Бо вони мають пряме відношення до свободи і їх роль у нашому житті досить обґрунтована. Це якраз відображається на рівні контролю над різними складниками життя. Наприклад, якості життя, яка може послужити показником названої свободи. І наостанок, знаючи все це, нам ще чіткіше стала зрозуміла природа свободи вибору й обмежень, їх невід’ємність та цілісність.

Анотація. Метою статті є виявлення та обґрунтування філософських тенденцій сучасного українського мистецтва. Методологія дослідження базується на основних положеннях загальнонаукових методів аналізу, синтезу, узагальнення. Також використано синергетичний підхід, який забезпечив можливість розглядати у взаємодії філософію і мистецтво як форми суспільної свідомості і феномени культури. Наукова новизна роботи пов’язана із виявленням філософських тенденцій сучасного українського мистецтва та введенням фактора російсько-української війни (з 2014) як чинника виникнення певних тенденцій (флуктуацій) у сучасному мистецтві. Філософські тенденції сучасного мистецтва виявляємо в інтелектуально-раціональному відображенні дійсності художньо-виражальними засобами різноманітних мистецьких явищ, течій і форм – інтелектуалізму, перформансу, симулякру, віртуальної/доповненої реальності, бодіарту, екоарту, фотореалізму в живописі, акцентованої еклектичності, гіперреалізму, еротичності, толеруванні кітчу, стиранні меж між високим, піднесеним, героїчним і низьким мистецтвом, мистецькій утилізації відпрацьованих артефактів (зокрема, воєнних, зібраних з полів бойових дій російсько-української війни (з 2014 року), естетизації жахливого, потворного, пошуку/утвердженні/змінах ідентичності, масмедійності, іронії, комерціалізації мистецької діяльності, «політизації мистецтва» тощо. Висновки. Сучасне мистецтво є сукупністю сформованих у другій половині ХХ століття художньо-виражальних засобів і форм, що забезпечують концептуальне відображення проблематики взаємин особистості та суспільства, що відтворені у медіамистецтві, а також у традиційних видах мистецтва. Філософські тенденції сучасного українського мистецтва – це екзистенційна потреба його суб’єкта (творця і споживача) відтворити художньо-естетичний самовияв сьогодення, гармонізувати буття, пізнати його сенс, визначити своє місце у ньому.
Characterization Study of Neodymium Doped Tin Oxide Films for Optoelectronic Applications
Authors: Hamdan Suhad A.
Published: May 2024

Tin chloride of 1M concentration was used as the precursor, and neodymium chloride was used as a dopant (with different doping ratios) to create pure and neodymium (Nd) doped tin oxide (SnO2) thin films with varied doping ratios (1, 3 and 5) wt%. Using UV-visible absorbance and XRD patterns, it was possible to analyze the impact of Nd doping ratio on the optical and structural characteristics of the produced thin films. All samples have a polycrystalline structure that is identical to the conventional SnO2 peaks, according to XRD measurements. As the doping ratio rises, the crystallinity falls. At doping ratio of 5wt%, a new phase emerged for Nd2O3. According to optical characteristics, the transmittance rises with doping ratio, from 4.13% to 35.76% at 550 nm. The optical band gap increases from 3.60 to 4.20eV with an increase in Nd content from 0 to 5%, and the energy gap was a direct transition. I-V properties for all samples are examined in dark and light conditions. Photocurrent and dark current increases with increasing doping ratio. The produced films have shown increase in photoconductivity gain.

Asymmetric Image Encryption Based on Singular Cubic Curve with Chaotic Map
Authors: Obaid Mohammed Jabbar , Al Saffar Najlae Falah Hameed
Published: May 2024

Due to the potential security problem of the key management and distribution for the symmetric image encryption schemes, this paper proposes a new asymmetric image encryption method based on a singular cubic curve and chaos theory. The Diffie-Hellman algorithm is used to generate the initial values of a chaotic map by exchanging public keys. The image encryption process is carried out using a chaotic map, in which a random sequence of the same length as the image to be encrypted is generated using the standard map, and then bitwise XOR is used to create confusion in the image's pixels. Also, an Arnold cat map is used to change the location of pixels and diffusion in them is obtained. Gray images with size 256×256 are used in this algorithm. The simulation results and security analysis indicate that the scheme can withstand common attacks such as statistical attacks, differential attacks, and other attacks.
Estimate the Parameters of the Weighted Exponential Regression Model for Panel Data
Authors: Obead Hala Kadhum , Kamar Saifaldin Hashim , Msallam Basim Shlaibah
Published: May 2024

The parameters of the weighted exponential regression model for panel data are estimated using the maximum likelihood method which represents the aim of this paper. Weekly infection and recovery ratios of COVID-19 data are predicted, where the model is converted from its nonlinear into a linear state using the Taylor series. The novelty of this paper lies in dealing with nonlinear panel data. Furthermore, the panel data of the model are tested to determine whether the data follows fixed or random effects by the Hausman test, as well as the exclusion of the pooled effects because the model does not include the intercept term. The simulation is depended on the generated data to compare the fixed and random effects models for different sample sizes (5, 10, 20, 30). COVID-19 data is used for three Iraqi governorates to represent the panel data model. Three months ,May, June, and July of 2022 are taken to represent the research sample and then predict the ratios of infection and recovery for the next three months. Depending on the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) and Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC), the random effects of the weighted exponential regression give better results than the fixed effects. Depending on this, we predict the weekly infection ratios of COVID-19 in Iraq that will decrease during the next ten weeks.
An Evolutionary Algorithm for Improving the Quantity and Quality of the Detected Complexes from Protein Interaction Networks
Authors: Abdulsahib Safa Ahmed , Attea Bara'a Ali
Published: May 2024

One of the recent significant but challenging research studies in computational biology and bioinformatics is to unveil protein complexes from protein-protein interaction networks (PPINs). However, the development of a reliable algorithm to detect more complexes with high quality is still ongoing in many studies. The main contribution of this paper is to improve the effectiveness of the well-known modularity density ( ) model when used as a single objective optimization function in the framework of the canonical evolutionary algorithm (EA). To this end, the design of the EA is modified with a gene ontology-based mutation operator, where the aim is to make a positive collaboration between the modularity density model and the proposed gene ontology-based mutation operator. The performance of the proposed EA to have a high quantity and quality of the detected complexes is assessed on two yeast PPINs and compared with two benchmarking gold complex sets. The reported results reveal the ability of modularity density to be more productive in detecting more complexes with high quality when teamed up with a gene ontology-based mutation operator.

Published: May 2024

In recent years, the extensive need for high-quality acquisition platforms for various 3D mapping applications has rapidly increased, especially in sensor performance, portability, and low cost. Image-based UAV sensors have overwhelming merits over alternative solutions for their high timeline and resilience data acquisition systems and the high-resolution spatial data they can provide through extensive Computer Vision (CV) data processing approaches. However, applying this technique, including the appropriate selection of flight mission and image acquisition parameters, ground settings and targeting, and Structure from Motion- Multi-View Stereo (SfM-MVS) post-processing, must be optimized to the type of study site and feature characteristics. This research focuses on optimizing the application of UAV-SfM photogrammetry in an urban area on the east bank of the Tigris River in the north region of Iraq following optimized data capturing plan and SfM-MVS photogrammetric workflow. The research presented the practical application of optimized flight planning, data acquisition, image processing, accuracy analysis, and evaluation based on ground truth targets designed for the proposed optimal routine. This includes investigating the influence of the number and distribution of GCPs, flying heights, and processing parameters on the quality of the produced 3D data. The research showed the potential of low-budget and affordable UAV devices to deliver robust 3D products in a relatively short period by demonstrating the value of UAV-based image techniques when contributed to CV algorithms. The results showed powerful outcomes with validation errors reaching a centimeter-level from 100 m flying height when applying the optimized flight plan settings and the appropriate selection of the number and distribution of GCPs. The study established a streamlined UAV mapping procedure, demonstrated the viability of UAV use for 3D mapping applications, offered suggestions for enhancing future applications, and offered clues as to whether or not UAVs could serve as a viable alternative to conventional ground-based surveying techniques in accurate applications.
Hormonal Changes in a Sample of Iraqi Women and their Relationship to Liver Dysfunction
Authors: Nsaief Reham Kassim , Ibraheem Shaima R.
Published: May 2024

There are numerous bidirectional interactions between the reproductive system and the liver. Sex steroids regulate metabolic health through signaling effects in both peripheral and central metabolic tissues, including adipose tissue, liver, skeletal muscle, and brain, and have a role in the etiology of structural and functional liver diseases. Blood samples were obtained from 90 healthy women (control group) and 90 women that have hormonal changes (patients’ group). The levels of reproductive hormones (follicle stimulation hormone/FSH, luteinizing hormone/LH, estradiol/E2, progesterone/P4) were measured by using fully automated Cobas E411, whereas those of liver enzymes (alanine transaminase /ALT, aspartate aminotransferase/AST, alkaline phosphatase/ALP) were measured by using fully automated Cobas C111. Levels of copper and ceruloplasmin were measured as well. The results demonstrate a strongly significant positive correlation between the levels of FSH and ALT (r = 0.45, p = 0.0001), FSH and AST (r = 0.48, p = 0.0001), and FSH and ALP (r = 0.303, p = 0.005), LH and ALT (r = 0.301, p = 0.005), LH and AST (r = 0.34, p = 0.001), and LH and ALP (r = 0.307, p = 0.004). The reproductive hormones and liver enzymes had a strong positive correlation. The results demonstrate a correlation between estrogen and copper (r = 0.38, p = 0.0001), as well as a highly significant positive correlation between estrogen and ceruloplasmin (r = 0.43, p = 0.0001) and a positive significant correlation between progesterone and copper (r = 0.26, p = 0.01). These findings are consistent with earlier research that has found a clear link between low estrogen levels in the blood and liver disease in women. These findings imply that an abnormally low level of estrogen may render women more susceptible to developing liver damage.
ZnCo2O4 and the Role of K2CO3 for Highly Advanced Oxidation over Methylene Blue Degradation
Authors: Hoang Do Huy , Nguyet Trieu Thi
Published: May 2024

ZnCo2O4 spinel nanomaterial modified in the glass phase of K2CO3 demonstrated the highly advanced oxidation in the mild condition of no light and low temperatures (5 oC) to degrade the pollutant model of methylene blue up to the yield of ~95 % (25 oC) and ~ 51% (5 oC) with a molar ratio of Zn:Co:K = 1:2:1. As-products from degrading the solution of methylene blue expressed no signal for the Uv zone in Uv-vis absorption spectra as the signature for aromatic bones which is the superiority of the material for converting methylene blue to non-aromatic compounds, even to CO2. ZnCo2O4 was prepared through the co-precipitation of bi-metallic hydroxide and then calcination with the presence of K2CO3. By XRD, EDX, SEM, and BET, it was confirmed that the product contains only one phase of cubic spinel nanocrystals with a relatively large size and a small surface area, in which the molar ratio of metals in the product is almost the same with the initial mixture.

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is an important beverage crop, commercially grown as a plantation crop. In the changed climate-scenario, tea mosquito bug species complex viz., Helopeltis theivora, H. bradyii and H. antonii are emerging as major threat to cocoa cultivation in India. Among these species, H. theivora is responsible for causing substantial crop-damage. The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the toxicity, eﬃcacy, and residual eﬀects of various test-insecticides (Bifenthrin, Clothianidin, Flonicamid, Imidacloprid, Quinolphos and Thiamethoxam) against H. theivora, a major pest of cocoa. The results revealed that bifenthrin exhibited the highest toxicity with an LC 50value of 0.36 ppm, while flonicamid displayed the least toxicity with an LC50 value of 130.20 ppm. Quinalphos exhibited higher toxicity than flonicamid, with an LC50 value of 100.48 ppm. Imidacloprid and thiamethoxam recorded higher toxicity, recording lower LC 50 values of 47.23 and 64.98 ppm, respectively. Clothianidin showed moderate toxicity with an LC50 value of 75.31 ppm against H. theivora. Field experiments assessed the eﬃcacy of the screened insecticides, revealing that bifenthrin and clothianidin were the most eﬀective in managing H. theivora infestations, resulting in the lowest pod infestation percentages of 10.11% and 13.84%, respectively. Conversely, flonicamid exhibited the least eﬀectiveness, with 37.82% pod infestation. Furthermore, this study investigated the residual toxicity of the insecticides in the field. Bifenthrin and clothianidin displayed persistent eﬀects, causing over 25% mortality of H. theivora even up to 30 days after application. Flonicamid, however, showed rapid loss of residual toxicity compared to other insecticides, with less than 25% residual toxicity reported after 10 days. Imidacloprid and thiamethoxam demonstrated more than 25% residual mortality on day 20 after application. In conclusion, this research underscores the varying toxicities and eﬃcacies of diﬀerent insecticides against H. theivora in cocoa plantations, with implications for eﬀective pest management strategies.

This study uses a normative descriptive legal method with secondary data analyzed qualitatively for deductive conclusions. The analysis shows that the Directors cannot be held accountable because they fulfilled their fiduciary duty by implementing the SOP on commodity pricing. The judge's decision was based on Article 1367 of the Civil Code, not Article 97 (5) of the Company Law, as the loss was not due to employee negligence. In conclusion, PT. Antam's directors are not responsible for the secret gold sale agreement since they complied with SOP 700 01. Additionally, the judge's decision can be criticized because the secret agreement by Eksi Anggraen and Budi Said does not meet subjective requirements, making it invalid for PT. Antam and revocable.

This paper examines the experimental flexural performance of the strengthening composite concrete asymmetrical castellated steel beam of double channel shape by connecting two castellated hot rolled steel channels back-to-back using bolts along its length to obtain a built-up I-shaped form with a new total beam depth heightened by 52.4%. This research tested four specimens: the first was a reference specimen without any strengthening techniques; the second was strengthened with RPC (Reactive Powder Concrete) in the steel web region; the third was strengthened by RPC reinforced with a lacing rebar. Also, this study investigated the welding effects in web posts for the top and bottom parts of the castellated steel in the fourth specimen. All specimens were tested under simply supported conditions by applying two-point static loads on the concrete deck slab of the composite beams. The ultimate load deflection, stiffness, ductility, energy absorption capacity, and failure mode were investigated and discussed. According to the experimental results, the ultimate load capacity increased 24.01% and 48.34% in the second and third specimens, respectively, with increased stiffness, ductility, and energy absorption capacity compared with the first specimen. In contrast, the ultimate load capacity decreased by 11.02 % in the fourth specimen (strengthening without welding in web posts), reducing stiffness and ductility compared with the first specimen (reference).

The Future Isn’t Now

In a world of negation, it is exhilarating to imagine possibilities. Such is evident in the strain of critique that asserts there is something radically productive in opening up possibilities. This makes sense: critical theory seeks to illuminate something beyond endless torrents of death and destruction. But, this essay contends, the thrill of possibility-creation has created a new aporia: the affect gesture of possibility risks overshadowing the realization of radical possibilities. Various strains of scholarship presume that scholarly politics is a matter of perceiving and awakening possibilities. The impulse is most readily clear in utopianist scholarship like that of José Esteban Muñoz, but it’s also evident in work by Saidiya Hartman, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and even Rita Felski. All these materials propose that cultural materials can coordinate possible worlds, and by extension, scholarship competency is to schematize them. But, I argue, the scholarship that follows these thinkers risks becoming trapped by possibility. It’s captivating to imagine new ways of being or living or knowing, but there exists neither the professional incentive nor the affective discipline to realize those possibilities. In our reverie at imagining the construction of a better world, our blueprints don’t necessarily reach the builder—and the indulgence of possibility risks sliding back into despair. This essay does not argue for dismissing the scholarship above, but rather suggests we haven’t read them well enough. Muñoz, Hartman, and Sedgwick are not drunk on hope; their openness to possibility comes from the mute agony of living in an unlivable world. Although a variety of material factors stand in the way of scholar-activism, this affective trap remains one of the most pressing—for if we do not recognize the feelings that structure political scholarship, we will only be playing a language game, projecting possibilities that could never come to fruition.
Timing of surgical intervention in peripheral nerve injuries from gunshot wounds: Management and review of the literature
Authors: Tigre Joseph Yunga , Puerto Aiko , Khalafallah Adham M. , Burks S. Shelby
Published: May 2024

Background:

Gunshot wounds (GSWs) can result in various peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs), ranging from direct nerve transection to neuropraxia caused by the ballistic shockwave mechanism. PNIs from GSWs can be treated with either early or delayed intervention, with the literature supporting both approaches and sparking a debate between early and delayed intervention for PNIs from GSWs. Here, we present a case that underwent delayed exploration of the right common peroneal nerve after GSW and a literature review comparing early versus delayed intervention for PNIs from GSWs.

Case Description:

A 29-year-old male underwent right common peroneal nerve exploration 2 months after he sustained a GSW to the right lower extremity at the level of the fibular head tracking to the lateral malleolus. Initially, after the injury, he was offered supportive care. On evaluation, 1 month later, he reported a right-sided foot drop and paresthesias in the right lower extremity. A partial-thickness injury of the right peroneal nerve was seen on ultrasound, and a bullet fragment in the distal right lower extremity was revealed on computed tomography. The surgical intervention consisted of the right common peroneal nerve decompression proximally to distally and removal of the bullet fragment. Postoperatively, the patient did well with improvements in his right ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion seen at his 1.5-month follow-up visit.

Conclusion:

Many factors must be considered when treating PNIs from GSWs. For each case, clinical judgment, injury mechanism, and risk-benefit analysis must be evaluated to determine each patient’s optimal treatment strategy.
Minimally invasive craniotomy for putaminal hemorrhage using a tubular retractor: A technical note
Authors: Kuwajima Takuto , Beppu Mikiya , Yoshimura Shinichi
Published: May 2024

Background:

Minimally invasive endoscopic and stereotactic surgery have been established as surgical treatments for putaminal hemorrhage. However, facilities that do not have equipment for endoscopic or stereotactic surgery will likely have to perform conventional craniotomy. Using a tubular retractor, we were able to perform minimally invasive surgery, such as endoscopic surgery.

Methods:

A craniotomy was performed for left putaminal hemorrhage after cerebral infarction treatment. A 3–4 cm craniotomy centered at Kocher’s point was performed under general anesthesia. A 2 cm incision was made in the cortex, and a tubular retractor was inserted under a microscope. The hematoma was reached at a position 4–5 cm from the cortex.

Results:

Thanks to the tubular retractor, it was relatively easy to observe the hematoma, and it was possible to remove it and confirm hemostasis without difficulty. Brain injury caused by the retractor insertion cavity was small, and no hemostasis was required. The surgery was completed by dura mater closure, bone flap fixation, and wound closure as per the standard. Most of the putaminal hemorrhage could be removed, and there was no rebleeding after the operation. The patient is still undergoing rehabilitation because of aphasia and muscle weakness. Manual Muscle Testing was at three points in the upper limb, and four points in the lower limb remained.

Conclusion:

For putaminal hemorrhage, microscopic craniotomy was performed using a tubular retractor and an approach such as endoscopic surgery. Craniotomy, hematoma removal, and hemostasis operations are also considered to be minimally invasive surgeries.

Controlling the assembly of high-order structures is a central aim of soft-matter research. This is also crucial when working with biopolymers in the context of engineered biomaterials in view of medical applications. Here, we show how oriented linear dichroism (OLD) spectroscopy, coupled with other techniques, is used to probe the ordering of chiral collagen molecules in the dense state. Collagen triple helices were aligned by solvent evaporation, relying on the high aspect ratio of the triple helices (ca. 300 nm in length, 1.5 nm in diameter). The high-order packing of the helical structure in the dense state gives rise to a strong LD signal that changes sign and intensity with varying sample orientations with respect to the linear polarized beam. LD, which allows to identify orientation of samples, is complementary to circular dichroism (CD), which is routinely used to probe the structure of chiral (bio)molecules. LD allows to shift from the molecular to the supramolecular scale, and from the investigation of the conformation to interactions. In this work, supported by two-photon microscopy and X-ray scattering, we show that LD spectroscopy provides a straightforward route to probe the alignment of collagen triple-helices packed in the dense state, determine the packing density, and monitor the denaturation process. This approach could be readily adapted to any biological chiral molecule and assembly, as well as synthetic polymers, with a key advantage being its ability to detect large-scale assemblies with high specificity to both aligned and chiral molecules, and improved sensitivity compared to more conventional techniques.
Accurate prediction of antibody deamidations by combining high-throughput automated peptide mapping and protein language model-based deep learning
Authors: Niu Ben , Lee Benjamin , Wang Lili , Chen Wen , Johnson Jeffrey
Published: May 2024

Therapeutic antibodies such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), bispecific and multispecific antibodies are pivotal in therapeutic protein development and have transformed disease treatments across various therapeutic areas. The integrity of therapeutic antibodies, however, is compromised by sequence liabilities, notably deamidation, where asparagine (N) and glutamine (Q) residues undergo chemical degradations. Deamidation negatively impacts the efficacy, stability, and safety of diverse classes of antibodies, thus necessitating the critical need for early and accurate identification of vulnerable sites. In this article, a comprehensive antibody deamidation-specific dataset (n = 2285) of varied modalities was created by using high- throughput automated peptide mapping, followed by supervised machine learning to predict the deamidation propensities as well as extents throughout the entire antibody sequences. We propose a novel chimeric deep-learning model, integrating protein language model (pLM)- derived embeddings with local sequence information for enhanced deamidation predictions. Remarkably, this model requires only sequence inputs, eliminating the need for laborious feature engineering. Our approach demonstrates state-of-the-art performance, offering a streamlined workflow for high-throughput automated peptide mapping and deamidation prediction, with potential of broader applicability to other antibody sequence liabilities.

Post-translational modification (PTM) of histones dynamically regulates gene transcription and is closely related to cancer development. Altering the epigenome is thus a promising strategy for cancer chemotherapy. However, there have been no methods to artificially introduce physiologically relevant histone PTMs and their transcription profile without genetic engineering in living cells. Here we report a cell-permeable histone acetylation catalyst, BAHA-LANA-PEG-CPP44, enabling cancer epigenome manipulation. The catalyst selectively entered leukemia cells, bound to chromatin, and selectively acetylated H2BK120 of endogenous histones in a short reaction time. The catalytic histone acetylation attenuated chromatin binding of negative elongation factor E (NELFE), an RNA polymerase II regulatory factor, and changed the transcription profile in leukemia cells. The in-cell chemical catalysis slowed proliferation of leukemia cells and reduced their tumorigenic potential in mice. As this approach requires no genetic engineering and is orthogonal to canonical epigenetic drugs, it may represent a new modality of cancer chemotherapy.
