COL5A3: A prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target in pancreatic cancer
Authors: Li Yongjie , Zeng Min , Wang Ting , Jiang Feng , Li Chengjian
Published: December 2024

Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor of the digestive system with a high mortality rate and a poor prognosis. While type V collagen 3 (COL5A3) is extensively expressed in many tumor tissues, its prognostic significance and immune infiltration in pancreatic cancer remain unknown. As a result, we investigated COL5A3’s predictive function in pancreatic cancer and its relationship to immune infiltration. COL5A3 is significantly expressed in pancreatic cancer tissues compared to normal tissues. High COL5A3 expression is associated with poor clinicopathological characteristics and a worse prognosis of pancreatic cancer. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that pancreatic cancer patients with high COL5A3 expression had a poorer prognosis than those with low COL5A3 expression. According to the ROC curve, COL5A3 has high sensitivity and specificity in the detection of pancreatic cancer. Correlation studies revealed that COL5A3 mRNA expression is associated with immune cell infiltration. This work indicates for the first time that COL5A3 may be a novel predictive biomarker linked to immune infiltration, providing a new target for pancreatic cancer detection and therapy.

Authors: Wang Hui-Chi , Pan Chia-Yen
Published: December 2024

This study adopts an ecological systems perspective to explore the multifaceted experiences of LGBTQ+ social workers under workplace supervision. It examines how gender identity, workplace culture, social environment, and time influence their professional growth. The findings underscore the importance of supervisors' gender sensitivity in fostering psychological safety and professional development for LGBTQ+ social workers. While the implementation of gender-friendly policies can improve workplace conditions, their effectiveness is often constrained by institutional culture. Additionally, gender identity emerges as both a strength and a challenge in supervisory relationships, with client acceptance significantly impacting professional identity and competency. As Taiwan progresses in addressing diverse gender issues, LGBTQ+ social workers are learning to balance their identities with professional roles. This study fills a gap in research on the workplace experiences of LGBTQ+ social workers and provides practical recommendations for improving gender-friendly policies, enhancing supervisory practices, and fostering inclusive workplace cultures.
Violence against Women: Legal, Neuropsychological and Bioethical Analysis in Peru and Mexico
Authors: Rios Liz María Pérez , Bartra Martín Pinchi
Published: December 2024

This research study examines gender violence as an attack on human integrity and life as a supreme principle, and its relationship within the Peruvian and Mexican legal framework, with the commitments assumed from the perspective of bioethics. To do so, it investigates bioethics, human integrity and the theories that could promote violence directed at women. Gender violence constitutes a global and public health problem; it is, undoubtedly, a transgression of human rights, where life, human integrity and the right to medical care are clearly violated either by action or inaction in the management of rights and established commitments; that is why it is necessary to propose anticipatory, integrative measures, identify, manage and counteract invisibility, normalization, impunity and appreciate the recovery of the human integrity of each woman. These elements could serve as starting points to separate women from violence and carry out all the necessary actions to prevent violence.

Authors: Liu Xueying , Yuquan Wang  , Shi Yaobo
Published: December 2024

Improving the quality and level of ecological public goods supply is crucial for enhancing the public happiness index and ensuring ecological welfare. A high-quality ecological environment generates significant positive externalities, making the provision of such goods a key focus of government expenditure. The ability of local governments to adequately fund the supply of ecological public goods depends on the strength of their financial capacity. Based on the panel data of 30 provincial-level regions in China from 2007 to 2019, this paper uses the super-efficiency Slack-Based Measure (SBM) model and the dynamic Malmquist index to measure the supply efficiency of provincial-level regional ecological public goods including undesirable outputs. Furthermore, the panel Tobit model and the system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) model are used to empirically test the impact of local fiscal capacity on the supply efficiency of ecological public goods. The results show that fiscal absorption capacity can significantly improve the supply efficiency of ecological public goods, and the economic growth preference of fiscal allocation capacity can also significantly improve the supply efficiency of ecological public goods, indicating that under the influence of the current economic structure transformation and ecological civilization construction, the distortion of local governments in the supply of public goods has been improved, while the administrative consumption preference of fiscal allocation capacity hinders the improvement of the supply efficiency of ecological public goods, and the fiscal self-sufficiency has a lag in improving the supply efficiency of ecological public goods. Fiscal transfer payments have significantly improved the efficiency of the supply of ecological public goods.

Contemporary society is characterized by excessive consumption and unrestrained entertainment, which are central to modern capitalism. The expansion of the entertainment industry promotes the creation and circulation of content that encourages relentless consumption, impacting behaviors, values, and individual and collective identities. Entertainment, which should function as a means of leisure and culture, has transformed into a commodity aimed at the continuous sale of products and experiences. In this way, large corporations in the sector maintain a symbiotic relationship with consumption, fueling a cycle of manufactured desires and needs. Digital platforms, social networks, and streaming services reinforce this dynamic by providing audiences with constant access to vast content, conditioning them to nearly uninterrupted consumption. This phenomenon has significant social impacts, such as alienation, the loss of critical autonomy, and the weakening of community and cultural bonds. The relentless search for novelty generates chronic dissatisfaction, fueled by the rapid replacement of products and trends. In a context where excess is encouraged and superficiality normalized, the role of entertainment in capitalist society raises reflections on the direction of culture, consumption, and social behavior within a framework that prioritizes profit over more enduring values.

El sotol es una planta silvestre que se desarrolla en regiones con climas áridos y semiáridos dentro del Desierto Chihuahuense. Representa un importante valor comercial, debido a su uso en la elaboración de bebidas. Es así, que interesarse por su aprovechamiento sostenible, específicamente en la obtención de la materia prima, es prioritario para evitar el deterioro de las poblaciones silvestres; ya que, a pesar de los esfuerzos por mantener un aprovechamiento sostenible de la especie, se presentan irregularidades en su utilización, lo que ha generado la disminución de sus poblaciones y por ende un impacto ecológico. Es imperativo contar con alternativas que se traduzcan en un manejo sostenible. Por lo que se determino el establecio de la propagación masiva de sotol (Dasylirion leiophyllum), mediante la técnica de cultivo in vitro bajo condiciones controladas, de medios de cultivo, reguladores de crecimiento, luz y temperatura. A partir de ello, se logró la determinación de los protocolos de desinfección y germinación in vitro, así como su establecimiento. Esta técnica biotecnológica mostró efectividad en los porcentajes de desinfección y germinación, además de la obtención de plantulas in vitro. Lo anterior, podría traducirse en una propuesta para el abastecimiento de material vegetal a productores sotoleros, con lo cual también se podrá amortiguar el sobre aprovechamiento de la especie, y la disminución de su presencia silvestre.

Authors: Alhilo Karam Wadhah Hameed , Kaya Metin
Published: December 2024

In this study, Matlab/Simulink software was used to create a smart irrigation system that utilizes the electricity produced by photovoltaic cells. The system setup will be carried out considering that the farm needs 90,000 liters of water during its periodic irrigation period. The designed irrigation system will be installed in the rural area of Mosul, Iraq. According to our calculations, a submersible pump compatible with a 1400 W power BLDC model and capable of a 200 m water lifting height is sufficient. It has been observed that using a smart irrigation system is more efficient and economical compared to traditional irrigation systems. Approximately 36% savings were achieved from the design of the 1400 W power BLDC model submersible pump and about 67% savings from the design of the photovoltaic array. Due to its location, Iraq is one of the countries with high annual solar radiation values. We believe that using smart irrigation system models in regions with high electricity energy needs but low coverage rates will contribute positively to national economies.

Hilsa is the national pride of Bangladesh. In the last few decades, production of Hilsa has
declined rapidly due to various natural and artificial factors (Reduced River erosion,
environmental degradation, arbitrary erosion, and over-harvesting of Jatka). To
overcome this Govt. of Bangladesh has taken some excellent initiatives; the sanctuary
establishment is one of them. The present study was conducted from 2010 to 2015 at five
sampling sites along the five (5) tributaries of the Meghna River in Barisal District,
Bangladesh. In periodic months, data including length-weight, and CPUE of Hilsa fish
(Hilsa Larvae and Jatka) were randomly collected from fisherman's commercial catch
and BFRI's experimental catch at each sampling site. CPUE of Jatka was found to be
gradually increased from 2.0 to 3.25 kg/100m net/Haul. The river water Temperature,
dissolved oxygen (DO), Free carbon dioxide (CO2), pH, Total hardness, Total alkalinity,
Conductivity, and Ammonia were found suitable for the biodiversity of the River. It has
been shown that the abundance of phytoplankton is high, which ensures the abundance
of fish food. Based on the BFRI research results, it was recommended to establish the 6th
(Six) Hilsa Sanctuary in the region covering a total area of 82 km which was declared by
the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock.

Published: December 2024

Bu araştırma, Niğde Ömer Halisdemir Üniversitesi, Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli Üniversitesi ve Aksaray Üniversitesinde öğrenim gören öğretmen adaylarının siber aylaklık davranışlarını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı öğretmen adaylarının sanal ortamda zaman geçirme alışkanlıklarını ele alan siber aylaklık nedenlerini belirlemek ve bu konuda mevcut literatüre katkı sağlamaktır. Bu doğrultuda, 787 öğretmen adayına uygulanan "Siber Aylaklık Nedenleri Ölçeği" ile verilerin toplandığı araştırma, tarama modelindedir. Katılımcılar; cinsiyet, yaş, sınıf düzeyi, akademik not ortalaması, günlük internet kullanım süresi ve öğrenim gördükleri bölümden memnuniyet değişkenleri üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde betimleyici istatistikler ve parametrik testler uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada kullanılan ölçeklerin iç tutarlılığı Cronbach’s Alpha katsayısı .72 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, öğretmen adaylarının siber aylaklık davranışlarının büyük ölçüde "yürütücü kaynaklı nedenler" ile şekillendiğini ve bu durumun derslere odaklanma güçlükleri ile ilişkili olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Özellikle çevresel faktörler ve derslerin zorluk düzeyi gibi unsurlar, öğretmen adaylarının siber aylaklığa yönelmelerine neden olmaktadır. Araştırmada sınıf düzeyi, günlük internet kullanımı ve akademik not ortalaması gibi demografik değişkenler açısından anlamlı farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir. Örneğin, birinci sınıf öğretmen adaylarının siber aylaklık düzeylerinin ikinci sınıflara kıyasla belirgin derecede daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bir diğer önemli bulgusu ise öğretmen adaylarının öğrenim gördükleri bölümden duydukları memnuniyetin, siber aylaklık davranışları, güdülenme ve derslere yönelik tutumları üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğudur. Öğrencilerin öğrenim gördükleri bölüm memnuniyeti yükseldikçe siber aylaklık davranışlarında azalma gözlemlenmektedir. Ayrıca, yüksek memnuniyet düzeyine sahip öğrencilerin güdülenmelerinin ve derslere yönelik tutumlarının belirgin bir şekilde daha olumlu olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlar, öğretmen adaylarının eğitim ortamlarında dikkat ve motivasyonlarının korunması için ders içi ve dışı çevresel faktörlerin yanı sıra öğrenci memnuniyetinin artırılmasının önemini vurgulamaktadır.

Published: December 2024

Life skills are essential for students and educators in the modern era. Students should cultivate their character traits, including their demeanor and conduct. We have an immense amount of knowledge to impart to our students, not just in academics, but also in essential life skills. In today's challenging times, it seems that many young individuals are not prioritizing their mental and physical well-being, nor are they nurturing healthy relationships with their family, teachers, friends, and even neighbors. This lack of focus on self-care and interpersonal connections may have significant implications for their overall development and happiness. Therefore, educators create a joyful and supportive learning environment to foster various life skills and improve school management. Developing the right mindset to think and make intelligent decisions while being mindful and aware is the essence of life skills, and a positive mindset enables individuals to effectively manage the demands and obstacles of daily life. The teacher plays a crucial role in shaping their mindset and keeping them focused. This paper emphasizes the significance of life skills education and the advantages of providing life skills training to teachers and students (such as developing social, emotional, and critical thinking skills) to enhance the quality of education, as they are the crucial foundational elements for a proactive citizen who can confront future challenges and thrive.

Efficient management of water resources is essential for sustaining the global food supply amidst growing populations and climate change. Traditional irrigation methods are often plagued by inefficiencies, leading to significant water wastage. This paper presents the development and validation of an autonomous drone-based irrigation system that leverages advanced image processing and machine learning techniques to optimize water usage in agriculture. The system employs standard low-cost cameras to capture high-resolution aerial images, which are processed to accurately predict the water needs of the plants and inform irrigation decisions in real-time also it can do autonomous watering by controlling the electrical water valve in the specified irrigation areas. Comprehensive field tests conducted on pepper crops demonstrate the system's ability to enhance water use efficiency and improve crop yields. By integrating state-of-the-art technologies such as TensorFlow techniques for machine lear-nig, image analysis and autonomous navigation capabilities, the proposed solution represents a significant advancement in precision agriculture. The results indicate that the autonomous drone-based irrigation system can substantially reduce water consumption while maintaining or enhancing crop productivity, thereby promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

Published: December 2024

OBJETIVO: Este estudio se enfoca en analizar la creencia comúnmente aceptada de que la certificación ISO 9001 es sinónimo de alta calidad en los productos. El objetivo principal es describir y analizar detalladamente el impacto real de esta certificación en la calidad percibida de los productos. MÉTODO: Para alcanzar este objetivo, se llevó a cabo un análisis cuantitativo mediante la recopilación y evaluación de datos de consumidores sobre su conocimiento y experiencias con productos certificados por ISO 9001. RESULTADOS: Los hallazgos revelaron que, a pesar de la creencia generalizada de que la certificación garantiza una calidad superior, no existe una correlación directa que respalde esta percepción. CONCLUSIONES: El estudio enfatiza la necesidad de mejorar las estrategias de comunicación y educación dirigidas a los consumidores para esclarecer lo que realmente implica la certificación ISO 9001. Es crucial alinear las expectativas de los consumidores con lo que esta certificación abarca en términos de procesos y gestión de calidad, no necesariamente en la calidad final del producto. Tal alineación es esencial para prevenir malentendidos y mejorar la satisfacción del cliente con los productos certificados.

Authors: Gutiérrez Espíndola Carlos Jesús
Published: December 2024

El mundo de las matemáticas es motivo permanente de análisis profundo con la finalidad de obtener mayores conocimientos y mejor entendimiento del mismo; muchas veces no es sencillo alcanzar una comprensión plena de forma solo abstracta o solo mediante el razonamiento deductivo. Por ello la presente investigación o análisis matemático, propone la visualización del “Factorial de un número” (es decir poder apreciar visualmente) partiendo de postulados y axiomas validas de grandes matemáticos y/o filósofos, entre ellos Euclides; que nos permite deducir las figuras geométricas que representan el factorial de un numero dado. La visualización del factorial de un número dado, se fundamenta y complementa con deducciones lógicas de relaciones matemáticas entre Aritmética, Álgebra y Geometría, con énfasis en la proposiciones matemáticas realizadas por Mahammed Hajari. Así, el presente trabajo es la demostración y “visualización” de factoriales de número como 2!, 3!, 4!; y poder apreciarlos de forma concreta, real, tangible mediante figuras geométricas.
