Authors: Ssibukhari
Published: July 2023

Intraperitoneal injection of alloxanmonohydrate (200mg/kg)was used to inducediabetes in mice, with blood glucose levels(fasting) morethan 150mg/dl. Sixty nine mice were dividedinto 4 groups, Group I was non diabetic (normal). Group II was diabetic, Group III was the diabeticand treated with Cinnamomumtamala and group IV was diabetic and Aloe vera treated. There was noincrease in the blood glucoseat random and fasting in group Iwhereas, group II showed an increase inblood sugar level (91.00±2.65mg/dl to 250.00±3.79mg/dl) post 21 days. Cinnamomumtamala(50mg/kg) and Aloe vera (400mg/kg) appeared effective in reducing the blood sugar levels after 21days treatment. There was an increase in intake of feed and drop in body weight of group II comparedto group I. Cinnamomumtamala (50mg/kg) and Aloe vera (400mg/kg) was found effective regardingdecrease in feed intake. Increase in weight of mice occurred treated with Cinnamomumtamala(50mg/kg) and Aloe vera (400mg/kg)as compared to diabetic mice. Cinnamomumtamala and Aloevera were potentially efficient to treat hyperglycemia at recommended oral doses of 50 mg/kg and400mg/kg of body weight respectively.

Authors: R. Rafique
Published: July 2023

This research had been conducted to analyze the natural agents for the antiviral activity that utilized essentially and simply in the field or it had the objective to lessen the animals’ carrier condition as well as to decrease infection during an outbreak of disease or infected animals’ quantity. The antiviral and cytotoxic effects of Olea europaea L. against foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) were observed by using the cell culture technique. FMD virus is considered as the causal agent of the disease which influences domesticated livestock and became a cause of intense sickness that is characterized by low morality, high dismalness of teats, tongue, and nose, fever, vesicular sores on feet, and weakness. It was predicted that the Olea europaea L.’s alcohol leaf extracts had antiviral potent activity at 31.25Hg/mL-250Hg/mL concentration range along with a range of CSP that was fifty-one percent (51%) to sixty-three percent (63%) which followed by chloroforms extract activity in which percentage of cell survival was analyzed fifty-four percent (54%) or fifty-seven (57%) at concentration 31.25 Hg/mL or 62.5 Hg/mL respectively. So, the antiviral activity of Olea europaea L. observed in this research might be due to the presence of oleuropein which inhibited the in vitro infectivity of the Foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV).

Authors: S. Ashraf
Published: July 2023

Increasing concentration of trace metals in the environment and their subsequenthealth effects in living organisms has become a major threat particularly in developing parts of theworld. Therefore present study was designed to investigate the concentration of trace metals such asPb, Cd, Cr and Cu in liver, pectoral muscle, pelvic muscle and blood of two terrestrial (Bank Myna;Acridotheres ginginianus and Jungle Babbler; Turdoides striata) and two aquatic (Grey Heron; Ardeacinerea and Cattle Egret; Bubulcus ibis) bird species collected from the premises of Lahore, Pakistan.The detection frequency of trace metals in collected samples were highest in Cd (100%) followed byPb (83%), Cr (80%) and Cu (76.5%). Species revealed heterogeneous levels of metals in all organs. Ingeneral the mean concentration (µg/g) of trace metals in organs and blood of terrestrial speciesfollowed the pattern as Pb > Cu > Cr > Cd contrary to aquatic species in which the trend was Cu > Pb> Cr > Cd. Highest concentration of Pb (3.23 µg/g) was reported in pelvic muscle of jungle babbler,Cd (0.15 µg/g) in liver of bank myna, Cr (0.40 µg/g) in pelvic muscle of Cattle Egret and Cu (1.89µg/g) in liver of Cattle Egret. Whereas lowest concentration of Pb (0µg/g) and Cd (0.09 µg/g) wasreported in blood and pelvic muscle of Grey Heron respectively, Cr (0µg/g) in blood of Bank Myna,Grey Heron and Cattle Egret, Cu (0 µg/g) in blood of Grey Heron, Cattle Egret and Jungle Babbler.Concentration of metals varied significantly (P<0.05) among organs however, no significant difference(P>0.05) was observed among species except Cu(P<0.05). Further, no significant difference (P>0.05)of metals was observed between feeding guilds and habitat of the species. The increasing concentrationof toxic trace metals in the birds reflects deteriorating environmental health as a result of greater metalsexposure which must be reduced through proper legislation and strict implementation of laws.

Positive solutions for nonlinear fractional Laplacian problems
Authors: Hollifield Elliott
Published: July 2023

We consider a class of nonlinear fractional Laplacian problems satisfying the homogeneous Dirichlet condition on the exterior of a bounded domain. We prove the existence of a positive weak solution for classes of nonlinearities which are either sublinear or asymptotically linear at infinity. We use the method of sub-and-supersolutions to establish the results. We also provide numerical bifurcation diagrams, corresponding to the theoretical results, using the finite element method in one  dimension.

Neuropathy in prediabetes
Authors: Ziegler Dan , Herder Christian , Papanas Nikolaos
Published: July 2023

Diabetic neuropathies are the most frequent complications of diabetes, contributing to high morbidity, excess mortality, reduced quality of life, and increased healthcare costs. Prediabetes is characterised by glucose levels within an intermediate range above normoglycaemia yet below the diagnostic threshold for diabetes. In 2021, 10.6% and 6.2% of adults worldwide were estimated to have impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glucose, respectively, the majority of whom are unaware of having prediabetes. Evidence has accumulated suggesting that prediabetes is a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and increased mortality. The past 2 decades have witnessed an extensive debate, particularly among diabetologists and neurologists, as to whether prediabetes is associated with peripheral neuropathy. In this review, we elaborate on the current evidence, particularly from population‐based studies supporting an increased risk of distal sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in people with prediabetes. Moreover, we discuss whether lifestyle interventions showing efficacy in preventing or delaying the transition from prediabetes to diabetes in persons with prediabetes may also exert favourable effects on the development and progression of DSPN and CAN. This review should help in raising the awareness of and translating the current knowledge on neuropathies in people with prediabetes into clinical practice and public health. The current recommendation that adults who are overweight or obese should be screened for prediabetes and referred to or offered preventive interventions should ultimately culminate in preventing not only CVD but also prediabetic neuropathy.

Published: July 2023

The ARRIVE (A Randomized Trial of Induction Versus Expectant Management) trial demonstrated lower rates of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) among low-risk nulliparous patients undergoing labor induction at 39 weeks of gestation. We conducted a population-based cohort study in which we evaluated the association between the routinization of 39-week induction and the rate of HDP by comparing rates before and after the ARRIVE trial publication, using the National Vital Statistics System. Logistic regression models were used to project what the HDP rate would have been based on trends seen pre-ARRIVE. Despite an overall increase in the rate of HDP from pre-ARRIVE to post-ARRIVE (4.9% pre vs 6.3% post, adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.26, 95% CI 1.24–1.27), the HDP rate was significantly lower in the post-ARRIVE group among patients undergoing induction at 39 weeks of gestation (14.7% pre vs 14.1% post, aOR 0.91, 95% CI 0.90–0.93), decreasing by 12.0% per year (P<.001). The rate of HDP among all other delivering patients was higher in the post-ARRIVE group (4.1% pre vs 5.5% post, aOR1.32, 95% CI 1.30–1.34). Our findings may suggest that, as the overall HDP rate rises, the relative advantage of 39-week induction will rise similarly.

Published: July 2023

Expansion microscopy (ExM) is a promising technology that enables nanoscale imaging on conventional optical microscopes by physically magnifying the specimens. Here, we report the development of a strategy that enables i) on-demand labeling of subcellular organelles in live cells for ExM through transfection of fluorescent proteins that are well-retained during the expansion procedure; and ii) non-fluorescent chromogenic color-development towards efficient bright-field and photoacoustic imaging in both planar and volumetric formats, which is applicable to both cultured cells and biological tissues. Compared to the conventional ExM methods, our strategy provides an expanded toolkit, which we term as expansion fluorescence and photoacoustic microscopy (ExFLPAM), by allowing on-demand fluorescent protein labeling of cultured cells, as well as non-fluorescent absorption contrast-imaging of biological samples.

Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) plays an important role in the regulation of immune responses, growth, and development in plants and animals. Here, the identification, characteristic investigation, and molecular verification of circRNAs inApis cerana ceranalarval guts were conducted, and the expression pattern of larval circRNAs duringAscosphaera apisinfection was analyzed. This was followed by exploration of the potential regulatory part of differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) in host immune responses. A total of 3178 circRNAs in the larval guts ofA. c. ceranawere identified, with a length distribution ranging from 15 nt to 96007 nt. Additionally, 45, 33, and 48 up-regulated circRNAs, as well as 110, 62, and 38 down-regulated circRNAs were identified in theA.-apis-inoculated 4-, 5-, and 6-day-old larval guts in comparison with the corresponding uninoculated larval guts. These DEcircRNAs were predicted to target 29, 25, and 18 parental genes, which were relative to 12, 20, and 17 GO terms as well as 144, 114, and 61 KEGG pathways, including five cellular and four humoral immune pathways containing melanization, phagosomes, lysosomes, endocytosis, apoptosis, MAPK, Ras, and Jak-STAT signaling pathways. Furthermore, complex competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory networks were detected as being formed among DEcircRNAs, DEmiRNAs, and DEmRNAs. The target DEmRNAs were engaged in 36, 47, and 47 GO terms as well as 331, 332, and 331 pathways, including six cellular and six humoral immune-related pathways. In total, nineteen DEcircRNAs, five DEmiRNAs, and three mRNAs were included in the sub-networks relative to three antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione S-transferase (GST). Finally, back-splicing sites within 15 circRNAs and the difference in the 15 DEcircRNAs’ expression between uninoculated andA.-apis-inoculated larval guts were confirmed utilizing molecular methods. These findings not only enrich our understanding of bee host–fungal pathogen interactions, but also lay a foundation for illuminating the mechanism underlying the DEcircRNA-mediated immune defense ofA. c. ceranalarvae againstA. apisinvasion.

Published: July 2023

Background & Aims

PNPLA3 rs738409 has been associated with an increased risk of liver‐related events in patients with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this study, we investigated the epidemiology of NAFLD and the impact of PNPLA3 on prognosis in Japan.

Methods

A longitudinal multicentre cohort study, the JAGUAR study, includes 1550 patients with biopsy‐proven NAFLD in Japan. We performed genetic testing and evaluated outcomes from this cohort. Liver‐related events were defined as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and decompensated liver cirrhosis events.

Results

During follow‐up (median [range], 7.1 [1.0–24.0] years), 80 patients developed HCC, 104 developed liver‐related events, and 59 died of any cause. The 5‐year rate of liver‐related events for each single‐nucleotide polymorphism was 0.5% for CC, 3.8% for CG, and 5.8% for GG. Liver‐related deaths were the most common (n = 28); only three deaths were due to cardiovascular disease. Multivariate analysis identified carriage of PNPLA3 CG/GG (hazard ratio [HR] 16.04, p = .006) and FIB‐4 index >2.67 (HR 10.70, p < .01) as predictors of liver‐related event development. No HCC or liver‐related death was found among patients with PNPLA3 CC. There was a significantly increased risk of HCC, liver‐related events, and mortality for CG/GG versus CC, but no difference between the CG and GG genotypes.

Conclusions

In Japanese individuals, the main cause of death from NAFLD is liver‐related death. The greater risk of liver‐related events incurred by PNPLA3 G allele was shown in Japan. Risk stratification for NAFLD in Japan is best accomplished by integrating PNPLA3 with the FIB‐4 index.

Published: July 2023

Tendo por objetivo trazer um outro olhar para a discussão teórico-metodológica acerca do território, valorizando as subjetividades presentes nas formas como ele se transforma e se constitui na contemporaneidade, propomos, neste artigo, pensar o território a partir da espiritualidade da Nova Era. Assim, demonstrando que através da materialidade, há um movimento sobremaneira invisível que ocorre no campo das ideias, fazendo do território, inegavelmente, (i)materialidade. O campo empírico foi pautado em entrevistas semiestruturadas para a qual foi definido o município de Santa Cruz do Sul (RS) como o espaço/tempo em que as experiências espirituais foram objeto do respectivo estudo. Na análise dos dados percebeu-se que a territorialização na Nova Era afeta indivíduos que não somente os buscadores espirituais, o que nos indica que o território das espiritualidades não é somente aquela paisagem que está aparente aos nossos olhos, mas ele necessariamente presume imaterialidades, outras subjetividades, e também, ainda outros sujeitos, produtores de outros territórios: uma nova dinâmica ao movimento da totalidade; logo, uma Nova Era de territórios.

Authors: Prabowo Wahyu Eko , Sulistyaningsih Erma , Rachmawati Dwita Aryadina
Published: July 2023

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is an endemic infectious disease in Indonesia. This disease is caused by dengue virus and transmitted by Aedes aegypti as a vector. Vector control is an important approach to control DHF. Citrus suhuinensis contains active compounds such as saponins, tannins, flavonoids, and D-limonene that can kill Ae aegypti larvae. This study aimed to determine the effectivity and lethal dose of C. suhuinensis peel extract against Ae aegypti larva. This was an experimental study using randomized control-group posttest design on Ae aegypti instar III and IV larvae which were divided into 10 groups, i.e., positive control, negative control, 8 treatment groups of serial doses of 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1 %. Each group consisted of 25 larvae. Observations on the larvae were conducted after 24 and 48 hours of treatment. The results showed that C. suhuinensis peel extract has larvicide effect as shown by the Lethal Dose value, i.e., LD50, LD95 and LD99 were 5.77, 9.34 and 11.39%, respectively. In conclusion, the C. suhuinensis peel extract has potential as an Ae. aegypti larvacide.

In this note, we consider a pseudo-differential operator $T_a$ defined as \begin{align*} T_a f(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}e^{2\pi ix\cdot\xi}a(x,\xi)\widehat{f}(\xi)d\xi. \end{align*} It is well-known that $T_a$ is not bounded on $L^2$ in general when $a$ belongs to the forbidden H\"{o}rmander class $S^{n(\rho-1)/2}_{\rho,1},0\leq \rho \leq 1$. In this note, when $s>0,0\leq \rho \leq 1,1\leq r\leq 2$ and $a\in S^{n(\rho-1)/r}_{\rho,1}$, we prove that $T_a$ is bounded on the Triebel-Lizorkin space $F^s_{p,q}$ if $r

Dialogue systems have attracted growing research interests due to its widespread applications in various domains. Existing studies on classification tasks in dialogue systems majorly focus on the sentence-level intent recognition of users’ utterances. While in real-world applications, classification of the entire dialogue, also benefits many downstream tasks such as customer satisfaction analysis, service quality assurance, dialogue topic categorization, etc. In this paper, we propose DialGNN, a heterogeneous graph neural network framework tailored for the problem of dialogue classification which takes the entire dialogue as input. Specifically, a heterogeneous graph is constructed with nodes in different levels of semantic granularity. The graph framework allows flexible integration of various pre-trained language representation models, such as BERT and its variants, which endows DialGNN with powerful text representational capabilities. The experimental results on two real-world datasets demonstrate the robustness and the effectiveness of the proposed DialGNN framework. The implementation of DialGNN and related data are shared through https://github.com/anonymous-auth/ DialGNN.

Avalanche single photon detector detects the presence or absence of photons and their reception frequency. One of the most important challenges of using InGaAs semiconductor in single-photon detectors is detecting error pulses in two categories of dark counting and afterpulse counting. Dark counting is the revealing output pulses that are created in conditions of no photon reception. its leading cause is due to temperature effects on the carriers. Afterpulse is another undesirable factor that occurs due to the trapping of carriers after the avalanche failure event in the detector. The trapped carriers accelerate due to the electric field applied to the detector and create another avalanche breakdown called afterpulse. Due to the importance of the error resulting from dark and afterpulse counting in photon detection and the need to analyze, optimize and reduce its effects, it is necessary to simulate their behavior. In this article, a new method of simulating noise of SPADs is presented. In the proposed model, FPGA chip is used to generate error pulses. The proposed FPGA model is XC3S400 from Xilinx. By the VHDL hardware design code, the parameters effective in creating the dark pulse, and afterpulse are placed in their simulator equations. the results appear in the output as unwanted pulses next to the photon pulses.

The success of chemical control is dependent on crop tolerance to herbicides and their efficiency in controlling weeds. Thus, knowledge of the tolerance level of cultivated plants and the tolerance mechanism involved is crucial for safe herbicide use. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of metabolization (malathion) and conjugation (NBD-Cl) inhibitors on the tolerance of white oats to the herbicides mesotrione and tembotrione. The experiment was carried out under field conditions in the 2021 crop, in an RBD, with nine treatments, namely: T0- control (no application); T1- malathion; T2- NBD-Cl; T3- mesotrione; T4- mesotrione+malathion; T5- mesotrione+NBD-Cl; T6- tembotrione; T7- tembotrione+malathion and T8- tembotrione+NBD-Cl. The plant characteristics were evaluated for plant intoxication, SPAD index, levels of chlorophyll a, b and total carotenoids, yield components, yield and industrial grain quality. Symptoms of intoxication in oat plants started at 7 DAA and increased up to 14 DAA in treatments containing mesotrione or tembotrione. Plant recovery started at 21 DAA, and it was intensified at 28 DAA. Intoxication levels were not affected by the addition of the metabolization inhibitors malathion (43.1%) and NBD-Cl (36.2%). There was no change in other variables tested under the control treatment. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that there was no change in the level of tolerance of white oats to the herbicides mesotrione or tembotrione after application of malathion and NBD-Cl. This outcome suggests that metabolization or conjugation is not the main mechanisms that make white oat tolerant to HPPD enzyme inhibitors.

The objective of this work is to evaluate and select backcrosses of passion fruit progenies resistant to soil diseases. This selection contributes to the improvement of the passion fruit genetic improvement program. A cross of the interspecific hybrid UNEMAT 124-3 resistant to Fusarium solani was carried out. The hybrid arose from crossing the resistant species P. nitida with a commercial cultivar of P. edulis. P. edulis, cultivar BRS Sol do Cerrado, was a recurrent parent. The BC1 resistance tests were evaluated twice. The first test was carried out with BC1 adducts that are in the field; for this, clone seedlings were produced from cuttings of each plant for the resistance test. The second test comprised inoculation directly into BC1s that were planted in pots without replications. In addition, clones of P. nitida and HI were used as a positive (resistant) control and clonal seedlings of P. edulis as a negative (susceptible) control. The evaluation of resistance of the genotypes to F. solani was quantified considering ten resistance variables. In the first trial with plants from cuttings, it was possible to identify the BC1s 02, 14, and 24 as resistant to F. solani. In the second trial with Passiflora spp. seedlings, considering the results of UPGMA, hierarchical methods of torch optimization and graphical dispersion per genotype considering the importance of characters, it was possible to identify the BC1s 25, 26, 27, 28, 31, 43, 45, 48, 53, 57, 58, 61, 63, 66, 68, 71, 72, 73, 74, 80, 81, 83, 84, 86, and 87 as resistant. These should be selected to continue the passion fruit improvement program

Knowledge of the ability of species to acclimate to light environments allows for the most appropriate selection for the restoration of different sites. Casearia sylvestris Sw. is a species C3 with important functional characteristics, geographic distribution and described for its plasticity, and was used as a reference for the present investigation. Thus, this study aims to investigate the morphophysiological changes of species planted in pots under different conditions: High irradiance (full sun around 106175 ± 1.246 lux), moderate irradiance (moderate shade under 61775 ± 2.333 lux), and low irradiance (understory under 425 ± 57 lux). The sampling design was a totally random design. The survival rate was calculated by the total number of seedlings per treatment. For the other analyzes (variables) 5 random repetitions were used for the evaluations. We found that the plants altered their morphophysiological characteristics with varying light intensity. Under higher light availability, the species responded with increased photosynthetic rates, stomatal conductance, transpiration, survival (100%), reduced specific leaf area, pigment reduction, quantum yield of photosystem II. In the understory (425 ± 57 lux), the species modulates the photosynthetic apparatus, increasing chlorophyll concentration and specific leaf area, seeking to increase light capture, with a survival rate of 86%. The variables with the highest plasticity index were predominantly physiological (transpiration, stomatal conductance, photosynthesis, and photochemical quenching) and they contributed most to the acclimation process. It was confirmed by the plasticity index analysis, where the least plastic variables were specific leaf area and chlorophyll index total, water use efficiency, and photosystem II quantum efficiency. It is concluded that the plasticity of the species to light intensity is provided by aspects related to the photosynthetic capacity of plants, providing a higher rate of survival and growth in plants without water or nutritional restriction.
Evolving dunes under flow reversals: from an initial heap toward an inverted dune

Sand dunes are ubiquitous in nature, and are found in abundance on Earth
and other planetary environments. One of the most common types are
crescent-shaped dunes known as barchans, whose mid-line could be assumed
to behave as 2D dunes. In this work, we (i) compare the morphology of
the mid-line of 3D barchans with 2D dunes; and (ii) track the evolution
of 3D barchan and 2D dunes under bi-modal changes in the flow direction.
We performed experiments in a 2D flume on 2D dunes and Euler-Lagrange
simulations of 3D bedforms. The reversal experiments start with an
initial heap deforming into a steady-state dune, which is then perturbed
by reversing the flow, resulting in an inverted dune. We show that
during the reversal the grains on the lee side immediately climb back
onto the dune while its internal part and toe remain static, forming a
new lee face on the previous stoss slope of varying angle. We determine
that (i) the characteristic time for the development of 2D dunes scales
identically with that for 3D barchans, (ii) that the time for dune
reversal is twice the time necessary to develop an initial heap to
steady-state, and (iii) that a considerable part of grains remain static
during the entire process. Our findings reveal the mechanisms for dune
reversal, and highlight that numerical computations of 2D barchans,
which are more feasible in geophysical scales, predict realistic
outcomes for the relevant time-scales.

The purpose of this study is to determine the dynamics of ugamo malim adherents in fighting civil rights. The research used qualitative methods through observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews with ugamo malim figures to understand the facts that exist in society. Furthermore, the researchers conducted data reduction before drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that people who adhere to ugamo malim are always faced with intolerance and discrimination. The incorrect understanding of the function and meaning of religion in life, including the views of the minority of ugamo malim adherents, makes it difficult for ugamo malim adherents to be accepted by the general public and government circles. The discriminatory actions felt by religious people from various regions in Indonesia united them in a social movement to gain official recognition from the state. Groups of adherents from various regions in Indonesia submitted a request for judicial review to the Constitutional Court (MK) and it was granted. The efforts of followers of ugamo malim to continue to exist and preserve the values and traditions of the Toba Batak people in social movement theory are called new social movements. The main and first social movement carried out by the ugamo malim community was marhamalimon. Through marhamalimons, various rituals were established, a new center of worship was established, and the organizational structure of the parmalim was also determined. Efforts to fight civil rights were also carried out by ugamo Malim through education. Various negative prejudices against ugamo malim people have been identified by various achievements in the field of education. Ugamo malim people have worked in many government and private institutions and occupy strategic positions.
