An analysis of modern literature sources to search for mathematical models describing the dynamics of the process of forming a regular microrelief on the inner cylindrical surface of parts, gas transmission equipment operating in severe operating conditions, in order to increase their life. It is established that there are no mathematical models describing this process and the peculiarities of its implementation under the point action of the deforming element on the workpiece surface. The molding movements accompanying the process of forming a regular microrelief on the inner cylindrical surface of the workpiece are considered and the driving forces that accompany this process are analyzed. On the basis of the conducted analysis the mathematical model of dynamic process of formation of a regular microrelief on an internal cylindrical surface of a detail is developed. The peculiarity of this process is that the process of microrelief formation occurs by a concentrated force, the point of application of which in relation to the part is constantly changing in radial and axial directions, and then the mathematical model describing this process will be with a discrete right. It is proposed to model such an action using Dirac delta functions with linear and temporal variables, using the method of regularization of these features, in particular, existing methods of integrating the corresponding nonlinear mathematical models of torsional oscillations of a part. Analytical dependences are obtained, which describe these oscillations in the process of formation of a regular microrelief. Using Maple software, 3D changes in the torsion angle depending on different output values are constructed. The conducted researches will allow to consider torsional fluctuations that is especially actual for long cylindrical details, such as sleeves of hydraulic cylinders, details of drilling mechanisms and others.

Authors: Hamzah Haidar Ali , Afladhanti Putri Mahirah , Romadhan Muhammad Despriansyah
Published: July 2022

Cancer is one of the biggest health problems with lung cancer as the first rank in the number of new cases and deaths. Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is a type of lung cancer which accounts for about 85% cases. Previous research identified the role of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) as the most suitable target to treat NSCLC. This study used a molecular docking technique to identify the potential compounds derived from Camellia sinensis (green tea) leaves as therapeutic agent to treat NSCLC. We tested 12 compounds in green tea leaves along with gefitinib as a comparative drug. Docking was carried out on EGFR as receptor target by Autodock Tools and Autodock Vina. Molecular interactions were visualized by Discovery Studio v16. All compounds met the criteria as drugs based on Lipinski’s solubility test and were safe to use based on toxicity test with AdmetSAR. Docking results showed that all compounds had affinity to EGFR receptor. Catechin and myricetin had the same energy bonds as gefitinib which were -7,9 kcal/mol, while theaflavin gallate, theaflavin digallate, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, catechin gallate, thearubigin, quercetin, and kaempferol were proven to have the strongest binding energy compared to gefitinib which were -10.6, -9.8, -8.9, -8.9, -8.5, -8.3, -8.0, and -8.0 kcal/mol, respectively. All compounds have the potential for development into drugs for NSCLC treatment. Further in vitro and in vivo investigations are needed to bring these compounds to the clinical setting.
Formulemes as a translation issue: a case study of English and Ukrainian
Authors: Borys Dmytro
Published: July 2022

The present article focuses on exploring formulemes in English and Ukrainian from a translatological perspective. The multiword units under study constitute a specific type of clichés alongside nickname clichés, termemes and sentencemes. The distinctive characteristic of this class of phrasemes is that they designate a ritualized speech act which correlates with an internal state of the speaker, a moment of time, or a specific event or state of affairs. Formulemes are to be regarded as a hyponym of formulaic sequences and formulas viewed, in turn, as multiword units. Depending on whether the source language formuleme’s formal and/or semantic constituents are fully or partially retained in the target language, formulemes may be rendered literally or using translation shifts. If the target language formuleme’s form and meaning are identical to those of its source language counterpart, word-for-word translation is used, which, however, proves to be an infrequent occurrence in English-to-Ukrainian and Ukrainian-to-English translation. Far more common are cases when the target language formuleme’s form and/or meaning are non-identical to those of its source language counterpart, and so a translation shift takes place. The three basic shifts employed in rendering formulemes are found to be metaphoric transformation, explicitation and antonymic translation. In addition to the three techniques mentioned, contextual translation of formulemes is occasionally possible when conditioned by the pragmatics of the speech act.

Published: July 2022

Abstract. Introduction. The school breakdown in spring 2020 made both teachers and learners all overthe world face new challenges: how to cope with distance learning (DL). It was not simple even in the welldeveloped countries. In Ukraine teachers tried to find different solutions. This period was a sudden but hugestep towards implementing ICT into the learning process. Purpose. The aim of the present study was to get aninsight into the way learners see distance learning, to hear their opinion and see their attidude to this form ofeducation, the difficulties and challenges they encountered during this period in the learning process in generaland in foreign language (FL) learning in particular. The focus was made on the learning habits, motivation,assessment, applications used, time spent on learning and stress students might have experienced. Methods.An online questionnaire containing closed-ended and open-ended questions was compiled and filled in bylearners of the upper grades of different schools. The data analysis was interpretive and statistical. Results.The material was sent mainly in the form of written text or video links and recordings via Messenger, emailor Google Classroom, very few online lessons were held. Most learners had difficulties; the most problematicarea in FL learning was grammar. Feedback and assessment were mainly in written form. The attitude tolearning was quite serious, learners developed their digital skills but some became demotivated. It was moretime-consuming, more difficult but less stressful and also less effective than face-to-face learning. Conclusion.Despite all the difficulties faced learners developed learner autonomy, digital skills and gained experience ina new form of learning that can be useful for them in their future studies as in the digital age DL is gainingground worldwide.

Design and Validation of an Accurate Low-Cost Data Acquisition System for Structural Health Monitoring of a Pedestrian Bridge
Authors: El Dahr Reina , Lignos Xenofon , Papavieros Spyridon , Vayas Ioannis
Published: July 2022

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is an effective operating technique devoted to enhance the robustness of an infrastructure, and to validate its safety requirements. The aim of SHM is to determine a structure’s reaction when subjected to any type of excitation, by means of identifying modifications in basic vibration measurements and modal parameters such as natural frequencies, damping and mode shapes. Consequently, sensors are mounted on a structure intending to record data on equal time intervals basis prior to, during and after an induced stimulation. Therefore, the necessity to adopt a computer-based data acquisition (DAQ) technique is required in this analytical approach in order to evaluate vibrational signals collected by sensors placed on a structure. In this work an accurate microcontroller-based DAQ system is proposed to monitor a pedestrian bridge located in Athens Greece for the purpose of characterizing the system state and evaluate the modal properties of the investigated structure. Four low-cost yet accurate triaxial accelerometers were systematically placed along the bridge intending to report the system response toward different generated perturbations. The proposed monitoring and computational system was tested in laboratory conditions prior to the bridge assessment. Three triaxial accelerometer were installed on a steel cantilever beam. A comparative analysis between the results of the suggested DAQ system and that of the standard laboratory DAQ system National Instrument DAQ was performed to test the accuracy of the suggested framework.
Ride-sourcing Service Pricing and Cancellation Penalty under Service Arrival Time Uncertainty
Authors: Li Manzi , Lo Hong K.
Published: July 2022

This study investigates ride-sourcing service pricing and order cancellation penalty in a duopoly market under service arrival time uncertainty. Order cancellation is wasteful to the service provider and society as a whole due to the incurred unproductive congestion and therefore, should be minimized either by penalty or regulation. Certain cancellations are inevitable, due to customer trip changes; others, however, arise from ordering from two service providers, necessitating the need for cancellation. We model the service arrival time perception via an inhomogeneous Poisson process and derive the cancellation behavior in a stochastic manner. A game-theoretic approach is then developed to formulate the competitive market equilibrium. For comparison, we also study the monopoly market as a benchmark. The monopoly market is found to be better in terms of order cancellations and service waiting times, but worse in trip fares for large markets. Based on these results, we propose possible regulatory interventions to reduce wasteful order cancellations.
Stereotyping, prejudice, and the role of anxiety for compensatory control
Authors: Schneider Lisa Juliane
Published: July 2022

This work examines the influence of personal control and anxiety on stereotyping and prejudice. In two experiments, personal control was manipulated in an autobiographical experience task. In Experiment 1, participants then completed measures of implicit and explicit gender stereotypes. In Experiment 2, implicit and explicit racial prejudice was assessed. Anxiety was tested as a possible mediator of the relationship between personal control and stereotyping and prejudice, respectively. Low personal control was associated with greater gender stereotyping and racial prejudice in explicit measures. Anxiety mediated the relationship between personal control and stereotyping but not between personal control and prejudice. Also, ingroup identification was found to moderate some of the relations between personal control, anxiety and stereotyping and prejudice. The results provide support for stereotyping and prejudice as compensatory control mechanisms, but evidence is mixed regarding the role of anxiety in mediating the processes.
THE LEGALITY OF CANING IN SINGAPORE
Authors: Mahaseth Harsh , Qureshi Shifa
Published: July 2022

Caning, also known as flogging and whipping, is a form of corporal punishment that is exclusively practised in Singapore, Brunei, and Malaysia. There has been an ongoing discussion over whether caning falls within the definition of ‘torture’ under various international treaties. This article intends to look into the history of caning and further analyse the arguments for the legality of caning in Singapore. It mentios the reasons for and problems of the present form of caning in these three nations. After analysing the international law and position of caning, the article affirms the reasons for not changing the existing caning laws. The efficacy of caning as punishment can be demonstrated by statistics from various reports that showed low crime rates in Singapore, Brunei, and Malaysia. Caning is among the few punishments that are retributive, deterring, as well as disciplining. The findings revealed that the offenders may not be able to walk or even sit comfortably for the first few weeks after being subjected to caning as punishment. Furthermore, the humiliation, fear, and suffering leave a permanent psychological scar on the offenders. Hence achieving the objective of judicial punishments. Nevertheless, given the lack of literature, caning has not been highlighted previously. In the final analysis, this article concluded that despite the severity and humiliation, caning still contributes to the overall aversion to crime in Singapore and thus should not be abolished and should continue to be inflicted on offenders.
CONSUMER RIGHTS PROTECTION AGAINST PRICE GOUGING DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN INDONESIA
Authors: Atikah Ika
Published: July 2022

This study investigated consumer rights protection in Indonesia on price gouging during the Covid-19 outbreak. This research employed normative law with a statutory approach and an analytic approach. The Consumer Protection Act, the Anti-Monopoly and Unfair Business Law, the Civil Law, and the Trade Law were the primary sources. Meanwhile, the supporting sources included books, journals, and articles on the internet. The object of research focused on consumer protection from price gouging for necessities during the Covid-19 pandemic. The results revealed that unhealthy business competition during the pandemic have harmed Indonesian people in fulfilling their basic needs to stay healthy. Goods in urgent demand such as masks and hand-sanitizers have a lower consumer buying interest due to the unfair selling power set by several business actors. The Indonesian government has prohibited business actors from deliberately gouging product prices during the Covid-19 pandemic. It has also played a central role in establishing and enforcing civil and criminal laws on business actors who set unreasonably high prices, resulting in consumer economic difficulties amid the outbreak of Covid-19.
Getting on Track: Accessibility Policy and the Design of the Mumbai Metro
Authors: Rotenberg Sara , Nooruddin Irfan
Published: July 2022

In 1995, India passed the Persons with Disabilities Act to legislate the principles and requirements of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Persons with Disabilities. As part of this, the Government of India boldly committed to achieving universal design in its public transit systems. Despite legal provisions for ensuring accessibility of public transport and strong harmonized guidelines, Mumbai’s suburban rail network lacks adequate considerations for people with disabilities. From limited elevators and ramps to uneven surfaces and unmarked pathways, the suburban rail system is notoriously dangerous for people with disabilities, and a recent audit suggests that fewer than 40% of railway stations are compliant with accessibility standards. However, inaccessibility is not limited to decades-old transit systems: even the recently constructed Mumbai Monorail and Metro Line One enact only some, not all of the required accessibility standards. With its Metro currently under construction, Mumbai has the opportunity to prioritize universal design, which is a cost-effective, inclusive method, and avoid previous accessibility mistakes, which are exclusionary and inefficient. This paper reviews the current state of transport accessibility across Mumbai’s existing networks in the context of established best practices around the world to suggest ways to strengthen accessibility in constructing the new Metro. It argues that in order to achieve the government’s publicly stated commitment to universal accessibility in this next generation of rail, the Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority should host consultations with people with disabilities, use architects with universal design training, and implement the guidelines for barrier-free built spaces outlined by the Central Ministry of Urban Development. These steps must also be complemented by applying the same principles in concerted effort to tackle the issue of inaccessibility on Mumbai’s streets and existing rail lines to achieve universal accessibility and greater opportunities for people with disabilities.

What Do the Students Want?
Authors: Manuturi Vanesha , Asterina Nina , Utama Febpry Ghara
Published: July 2022

Many public spaces in Indonesian cities are inaccessible to vulnerable groups such as children, elderlies, and persons with disabilities (PwDs), partly due to a lack of infrastructure and limited understanding by citizens and government agencies. The design and planning of these spaces are typically conducted in a top-down approach, with little participation of citizens. Regulation by the Indonesian Transportation Ministry1 stipulates that school areas with heavy traffic and high risk of accidents should have a Safe School Zone (Zona Selamat Sekolah, in Indonesian). The regulation details a technical guideline for the Safe School Zone, i.e., traffic signs, crossroads, speed bumps, but its implementation does not yet consider inclusive principles and universal design. To build a more inclusive and accessible city for all in accordance with the UN-HABITAT New Urban Agenda, a participatory design process with multiple stakeholders—teachers, local government, and most importantly, students—plays a vital role in ensuring inclusive planning in cities. This abstract reflects on the experience of Kota Kita and the Banjarmasin City Transportation Agency implementing a participatory Safe and Inclusive School Zone pilot project in Banjarmasin, Indonesia, to promote inclusive city planning and build the community’s capacity to improve their living spaces.

The Accessibility Chain: a Challenge and an Opportunity for Cities and People with Disabilities
Authors: Mestres Petit Alba , Morera Sergi , Trujjillo Parra Laura , Valladares Meritxell
Published: July 2022

Barcelona has been working to become a completely accessible city where the rights of people with disabilities are fully guaranteed for over 40 years. Helping the city to achieve this is the Municipal Institute for People with Disabilities, an independent body that works with every area of the City Council to promote accessibility and inclusion in the city’s public policies. In 2008, following its initial Accessibility Plan (1997-2006) which focused on accessibility in the city’s streets and public spaces, the City Council reaffirmed its commitment to guaranteeing the rights set out in the United Nations’ Convention. More recently (in 2017) it approved a Government Measure for drafting the 2018-2026 Universal Accessibility Plan for Barcelona (PAUB in Catalan), which will deal with improving physical, communication and cognitive accessibility in a wide range of venues and facilities.The Government Measure, inspired by Sustainable Development Goal 11 “Sustainable cities and communities” and targets 11.2 and 11.3 of the 2030 Agenda, established a three-phase implementation of the new Accessibility Plan: a first phase diagnosing the degree of accessibility of the various public spaces and services; a second, participatory phase, aimed at reaching consensus on the best accessibility solutions to be implemented in the city, and third and final phase, where the Plan will be implemented with the requisite budget.

Incorporating Speed in a Traffic Conflict Severity Index to Estimate Left Turn Opposed Crashes at Signalized Intersections
Authors: Persaud Bhagwant , Anarkooli Alireza Jafari , Milligan Craig , Penner Joel , Saleem Taha
Published: July 2022

  

Rigorous evaluation of implemented safety treatments, especially for innovative treatments and those targeted at rare crash types, is challenging to accomplish with conventional crash-based analyses. This paper aims to address this challenge for treatments at urban signalized intersections by providing a methodology that uses surrogate measures of safety obtained from video analytics to predict changes in crashes. To develop this approach, left turn opposed traffic conflicts based on post encroachment times, along with corresponding conflicting vehicle speeds, are first measured from video observations at signalized intersections. The conflicts are then classified into three severity levels using a risk score function defined by these measures. Multiple linear regression models are developed to relate left turn opposed crashes at the same intersections in the period 2009-2014 to the correspondingly classified conflicts. The results show strong relationships between the classified conflicts and crashes for total and fatal/injury crashes, respectively). The results also reveal that the contribution of conflicts to the risk of crashes varies based on speed dimension of their severity, suggesting that neglecting speed as a factor in conflict severity levels may be at the expense of losing meaningful information. The models can be applied to estimate the change in crashes following a safety treatment by observing, through video analytics, the change in conflicts and speeds and using the crash-conflict-speed model. The methodological approach is viable for quickly evaluating all treatments and, in particular, innovative ones for which knowledge on safety effects is sparse or non-existing.

Published: July 2022

The New Zealand White (NZW) rabbit is a rabbit originating from America that has now spread to Indonesia. NZW rabbits have the advantage that they have large meat weight, small bones and a harvest period of about 3.5 months. However, the quality of the rabbits produced is very influential in the initial selection of seeds. Therefore, a decision support system is needed to select so that the resulting rabbits are as expected. One of the selection methods used in selecting the best rabbit seeds is the Visekriterijumsko Kompromisno Rangiranje (VIKOR) method. VIKOR is a decision-making method that works by looking at the closest solution / alternative as an approach to the ideal solution in ranking. The purpose of this study is to recommend the selection of the best NZW rabbit seeds using the VIKOR method. The results showed that the VIKOR method was able to select the best NZW Rabbit seeds from a number of existing data.

In data communication systems, digital signatures are a form of electronic signature security services based on the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) which are considered resistant to certain types of attacks. Attacks on digital signature schemes aim to fake a signature or are called forgery which is said to be successful if the key pair and signature generated by the attacker are accepted by the verifier. Mathematical schemes used to prove the authenticity of messages or digital documents or guarantees that the data and information actually come from the correct source. ECDSA-based digital signatures rely on discrete logarithmic problems as the basis for mathematical calculations. Q = kP where Q and P are the points of the elliptic curve in the finite field  or  and k is a positive integer number. The hash function generated from the algorithm process is then encoded (encrypted) with an asymmetric key cryptographic algorithm. In this work use p = 149 to encrypt plain text by converting the original message using dots on a curve with the help of Python programs.
Cooling temperature humidity index-days as a heat load indicator for milk production traits
Authors: Mbuthia Jackson M. , Eggert Anja , Reinsch Norbert
Published: July 2022

Well-defined and accurate climatic indicators are important for evaluating heat stress in dairy cattle. This is imperative for sound management decisions for mitigating production losses. The most popular indicator for heat stress is the temperature humidity index (THI). Other heat stress indicators have been developed but remain largely unexploited. There is, therefore, possibly room to improve the THI and explore new indicators suitable for predicting production losses due to heat stress in dairy cattle. In this study, we apply the degree-day concept to develop temperature humidity index-day (THI-day). We defined the cooling THI-day as the hourly cumulative THI units above the heat stress threshold for milk production traits over the entire day. We then modeled reaction norms for cooling THI-day to analyze the effect of cumulative heat load expressed by THI-day on milk production traits. Milk performance records were from 16,216,145 monthly test-day records for the Fleckvieh breed for the period 2010 to 2019 in southern Bavaria, Germany. Individual cow records were averaged by herd and test-day resulting in 797,455 herd test-day records from 9,726 herds. Weather data for the same period were provided by the German Meteorological Service. Results indicated that cooling THI-day provided significant (p < 0.001) additional information to the conventional THI models. We found out that reaction norm models of average herd milk yield that do not account for the cumulative heat load tend to underestimate the effects of heat stress on milk production traits. Reaction norms modeled with cooling THI-day were more plausible for milk production traits that have a defined heat stress threshold including milk yield, protein yield, and milk urea.

In this study,Lippia origanoidesKunth, native to the Alto Patía region in Southwest Colombia, and Pichia guilliermondiiLV196, an inactivated yeast from the germplasm bank of Agrosavia (Colombian Agricultural Research Corporation), alone or combined, were tested for their long-term effect on rumen fermentation and methanogenesis whilst also characterising their effect on bacterial and methanogen communities. Whereas essential oils act through selective inhibition of microbial groups, yeasts are thought to work through the selective stimulation of key microbes in the rumen. We hypothesized that yeast supplementation could modulate the antimicrobial effect of a high thymol-containing oregano oil, allowing a more efficient feed utilization whilst decreasing methane production. When added to a rumen simulating fermentor (RUSITEC),L. origanoidesKunth at 132 µL/d had a detrimental effect on rumen fermentation which was accompanied by a reduction in the relative abundance of protozoa and fungi and a profound impact on the bacterial and archaeal communities.P. guilliermondiiLV196 at 0.5 g/L, however, had no effect on fermentation parameters or nutrient utilization, and neither changes in microbial abundances or in the structure of bacterial and archaeal communities were observed.P. guilliermondiiLV196 did not stimulate microbial numbers nor activity and, consequently we could not test whether it could have counterbalanced the antimicrobial effect of the essential oil. Future studies need to both investigate lower levels of essential oil addition, but also to re-examine the effects ofP. guillermondiiin the rumen and/or to replace it with other yeast of known biological activity when combined with oils extracted fromL. origanoidesKunth.

The June 23 2020 OaxacaMw 7.4 interplate thrust earthquake struck the state of Oaxaca in Mexico, generating strong shaking and a long-lived tsunami. This earthquake is well recorded by the teleseismic, high-rate Global Positioning System (GPS) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data, which provides an opportunity to understand the rupture characteristics of the Mexican subduction zone. Here, an integrated inversion strategy involving centroid moment tensor inversion and kinematic finite-fault inversion is used to study the rupture history of the 2020 Oaxaca earthquake. The fault geometry and source duration time derived from the centroid moment tensor solution are used as prior information in linear kinematic finite-fault joint inversion. The rupture initial point and relative weight of each dataset are determined to estimate a well-constrained rupture model. The finite-fault model shows the rupture expanded bilaterally around the hypocenter, the peak slip is 3.5 m, the main slip was located at a depth of 15–30 km, the whole rupture lasted about 20 s, and a 95% moment rate was released at 15 s. The half-duration of the finite-fault inversion is consistent with the centroid moment tensor inversion results (half-duration 9 s), which shows the good resolution of the temporal information. The total scalar moment was 1.5 × 1020 Nm, equivalent to a moment magnitude ofMw 7.4. The integrated inversion strategy used in this study is useful since the prior information can be derived and used to constrain the rupture process. Both the centroid moment tensor and finite-fault inversion mainly rely on identical temporal information provided by teleseismicPwaveforms. The 2020 Oaxaca earthquake was mainly the interaction between Cocos and the North American plate, and the slow slip events may be the key factor affecting the seismogenic zone width in the Oaxaca region.

As per the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the liver and kidney dysfunction are important pathogenies for premature ovarian failure (POF). POF is a common gynecological disease that reduced the pregnancy rate. Electro-acupuncture (EA) is a useful non-pharmaceutical therapy that supposedly regulates the function of the liver and kidney in the treatment of POF with TCM. However, the underlying mechanism of EA in the treatment of POF has not been adequately studied through metabonomics with reference to the theory of TCM. Accordingly, we investigated the effect of EA on the liver and kidney metabolites in POF mice through metabolomics. POF mice were established via intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin. Both Sanyinjiao (SP6) and Guanyuan (CV4) were stimulated by EA for 3 weeks. The biological samples (including the serum and the ovary, liver, and kidney tissues) were evaluated by histopathology, molecular biology, and hydrogen-1 nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR)–based metabolomics to assess the efficacy of EA. 1HNMR data were analyzed by the orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). The results revealed that EA was beneficial to ovarian function and the menstrual cycle of POF. Both the energy metabolism and neurotransmitter metabolism in the liver and kidney were regulated by EA. Notably, EA played an important role in regulating energy-related metabolism in the kidney, and the better effect of neurotransmitter-related metabolism in the liver was regulated by EA. These findings indicated that the ovarian functions could be improved and the metabolic disorder of the liver and kidney caused by POF could be regulated by EA. Our study results thus suggested that the EA therapy, based on the results for the liver and kidney, were related to POF in TCM, as preliminarily confirmed through metabolomics.

Although using letrozole (LE) during in vitro fertilisation and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) has many advantages, it remains unclear whether LE induces an increase in progestogen during the late follicular phase. The objective of this study was to investigate whether progesterone levels increased under antagonist protocols supplemented with LE on the trigger day using a retrospective cohort study. The study included 1,133 women who underwent IVF/ICSI cycles from January 2018 to June 2020. After propensity score matching (PSM) for baseline characteristics, 266 patients with gonadotropin-releasing hormone-antagonist (GnRH-ant) were matched to 266 patients with letrozole + GnRH-ant (LE GnRH-ant) (PSM 1 cohort), and 283 patients with gonadotropin-releasing hormone-agonist (GnRH-a) were matched to 283 patients with LE GnRH-ant (PSM 2 cohort). In the PSM 1 cohort, patients in the LE GnRH-a group presented higher progesterone levels (1.22 ± 0.95 ng/mL vs 0.86 ± 0.60 ng/mL, P < 0.001), with a higher proportion of patients with progesterone level > 1.5 ng/mL (24.81% vs 7.52%, P < 0.001). In PSM 2 cohort, patients in the LE GnRH-a group presented higher progesterone levels on trigger day (1.23 ± 0.91 ng/mL vs 0.98 ± 0.61 ng/mL, P < 0.001), with a higher proportion of patients with progesterone level > 1.5 ng/mL (25.45% vs 12.70%, P < 0.001). In the PSM 1 cohort, progesterone levels on the trigger day increased by 0.05 ng/mL, with an increase in every retrieved oocyte in the LE GnRH-ant group (β 0.05 ng/mL [95% CI 0.04, 0.06], P < 0.001), whereas an increase of 0.02 ng/mL was observed in the GnRH-ant group (β 0.02 ng/mL [95% CI 0.01, 0.03], P < 0.001), with P for interaction being 0.0018. In the PSM 2 cohort, progesterone levels on the trigger day increased by 0.05 ng/mL with an increase in every retrieved oocyte in the LE GnRH-ant group (β 0.05 ng/mL [95% CI 0.04, 0.06], P < 0.001), whereas an increase of 0.02 ng/mL was observed in the GnRH-a group (β 0.02 ng/mL [95% CI 0.01, 0.03], P < 0.001), with P for interaction being 0.0002. LE supplementation on the antagonist protocols may increase progesterone levels in the late follicular stage.

Renal fibrosis is the result of renal tissue damage and repair response disorders. If fibrosis is not effectively blocked, it causes loss of renal function, leading to chronic renal failure. Metabolic reprogramming, which promotes cell proliferation by regulating cellular energy metabolism, is considered a unique tumor cell marker. The transition from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis is a major feature of renal fibrosis. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 α (HIF-1α), a vital transcription factor, senses oxygen status, induces adaptive changes in cell metabolism, and plays an important role in renal fibrosis and glucose metabolism. This review focuses on the regulation of proteins related to aerobic glycolysis by HIF-1α and attempts to elucidate the possible regulatory mechanism underlying the effects of HIF-1α on glucose metabolism during renal fibrosis, aiming to provide new ideas for targeted metabolic pathway intervention in renal fibrosis.
