Notch receptors in GtoPdb v.2024.2
Authors: Arumugam Thiruma V. , Sobey Christopher
Published: September 2024

The Notch signalling pathway is crucial for cell fate decisions during embryogenesis and in fully developed organisms. Notch receptors (4 genes in humans) are single pass trans-membrane proteins that interact with membrane-bound endogenous peptide ligands from the Delta/Serrate/LAG-2 (DSL) family. Receptor-ligand engagement can occur in trans (between adjacent cells) or cis (on the same cell). Notch-ligand complexes formed in trans are endocytosed by the ligand-expressing cell, followed by protease-mediated cleavages that free the intracellular fragment of Notch (NICD) to translocate to the nucleus where it participates in the assembly of transcriptional activation complexes. Cis-formed complexes are inhibitory in function and act to restrict the spread of Notch activity.

Published: September 2024

This study further highlights the relevancy between patent rights and human rights. The impact of the availability and accessibility of essential medicines necessary for Public Health is significant. This study primarily aims to analyze and examine the relationship of patent rights on medicines and pharmaceutical products with human rights and to criticize and evaluate whether the Indonesian government has a policy configuration in the field of essential drugs and the pharmaceutical industry following the principles that support human rights. This research employed qualitative and normative-juridical methods supported by conceptual, statutory, and legal political approaches. Using the theories of legal objectives, utility, and justice, this research focuses on understanding economic law and human rights.  Through in-depth analysis, this study highlights how the patent system for drugs and pharmaceutical products encourages innovation and faces criticism due to limited access for economically vulnerable groups. Hence, the right to health is hampered while the state is responsible for universal access to affordable health care.   The findings of the study indicate that the Patent Rights on drugs and pharmaceutical products are exclusive rights that intersect with human rights in the drug patent system. Several parameters can be used to examine the relationship between human rights and intellectual property. It is necessary to reform the drug patent system to protect the balance and human rights. The findings contribute to a complex understanding of the relevance of patents to human rights while providing a basis for inclusive and sustainable policy development in the global health domain.
Personalidade autoritária: fundamentos freudianos na crítica de Adorno
Authors: Campanharo Claudiana
Published: September 2024

Neste livro discutimos os estudos sobre personalidade autoritária de Theodor W. Adorno (1903-1969). Analisamos como o filósofo caracterizou a origem, o desenvolvimento e a estrutura do caráter do tipo de indivíduo potencialmente fascista que surge na sociedade ocidental em meados do século XX. Para elaborar o conceito de caráter autoritário, que alude ao tipo de indivíduo que combina um alto desenvolvimento tecnológico com tendências irracionais, Adorno reuniu pressupostos da teoria de Sigmund Freud (1956-1939) à teoria crítica da sociedade. Analisamos as categorias freudianos utilizadas na compreensão adorniana de uma das grandes questões na construção da teoria crítica, a saber: por que os indivíduos se adaptam às condições de opressão impostas com a sociedade altamente industrializada? Identificamos o conceito de dominação social como uma possibilidade de ligar o indivíduo isolado e a sociedade. Elemento fundamental da crítica de Karl Marx (1818-1883) à sociedade dividida em classes sociais, a coerção também se apresenta na formação do Superego, realizada por um tipo de formação que a criança recebe no núcleo familiar e na escola. O tipo de personalidade que é formada tem tendências a obedecer a autoridades e a subordinar aqueles que considera mais fracos, manifesta-se potencialmente favorável a aderir às ideologias fascistas. O autoritarismo consiste em um dos temas centrais do pensamento de Adorno, que vê no genocídio administrado pelo Nazismo a expressão mais radical da barbárie. Esperamos que o leitor possa encontrar aqui referências para estudos sobre o autoritarismo e ser instigado a refletir sobre a exigência de uma educação contra a barbárie.
RELIGIOUS MODERATION THROUGH PERSIA-ACEH INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
Authors: Usman Abdul Rani , Sulaiman Azman , Fauzan Ahmad , Zulyadi Teuku , Salahuddin Afrizal , Putri Nanda , Jannah Maisal , Misra Laini
Published: September 2024

The cultural encounter between Aceh and Persian traditions occurred through the approach of Sufism during the early spread of Islam in the Nusantara, where Islam was embraced as a socio-cultural ideology by the Acehnese people. The formalization of structural Islamic law in Aceh today has effectively closed off the possibility of religious moderation within the diversity of new cultural expressions. One of these measures is the establishment of Shafi'i school regulations as the main model in Aceh, which impacts the restriction and adjustment of certain traditions and arts that do not align with this school of thought. As a result, intercultural communication becomes an alternative approach to rebuilding mutual understanding, emphasizing the importance of tolerance, and appreciating cultural differences in Indonesia. However, the desired form of moderation has not yet materialized, as evidenced by the emergence of coercive attitudes within a singular religious perspective. Through an intercultural communication approach, this study reveals the moderation attitudes manifested from the cultural encounter between Aceh and Persia. The presence of Persian-style gravestones, still visible in several areas of Pidie (such as Giging, Bungiy, Meunasah Raya Paleue, and Cot Satu), serves as evidence of this cultural exchange. The descriptive-analytical method employed in this research uncovers several findings, including that history demonstrates the intense cultural communication between Persia and the Acehnese people as an expression of religious moderation. However, over time, with the implementation of structural Islam, the attitude of religious moderation has gradually eroded, either directly or indirectly.
Desire vs Biopower: Dance Revolution of the Twentieth Century
Authors: Sirotkina Irina
Published: September 2024

The article deals with the dance revolution of the twentieth century - the emergence of "new dance” in which desire is produced, and not simply represented. Contemporary dance places the emphasis on spontaneity, the autonomous functioning of the body, and improvisation. There are at least two basic conceptions of desire in philosophy: the first is mimetic desire of the other (longing for a recognition from the other) and bodily desire (which corresponds to libido in psychoanalysis). The first conception had been proposed by Hegel and developed by A. Kojève and René Girard, the second - by Nietzsche and later by J. Deleuse and F. Guattari. Some scholars place their hopes in bodily desire (and corporeality in general) for putting resistance to the repressive biopower. The affirmative conception of desire critiques therefore Michel Foucault's theory of biopower and biopolitics. In the article, it is suggested that contemporary dance is a mechanism of producing desire, in the positive, affirmative meaning of the term. Dance can be considered literally a "machine of desire”: it makes the body to move awakening its energies, enhancing vitality and triggering emotions. The production of desire happens in the viewer as well as in the dancer. The spectator perceives movement through kinaesthetic empathy, a direct bodily imitation of the dancer's movement. The article presents the cases of Isadora Duncan, the founder of "free”, or "early modern dance”, and of Yvonne Rainer, a postmodern dancer and the author of the "No Manifesto”. Both performers reformulated dance and movement as a value in itself and a machine for both representing and creating desire.
Neural Network Nebulae: 'Black Boxes’ of Technologies and Object-Lessons from the Opacities of Algorithms
Authors: Kuznetsov Andrei
Published: September 2024

The paper deals with the quandary of the neutrality and transparency of technologies. First, I show how this problem is connected with the image of the opening of 'black boxes' that is pivotal to much of science and technology studies. Second, methodological and socio-political dimensions of the 'black box' metaphor are discussed. Third, I analyze three typical solutions to the problem of the neutrality of technologies outside and inside constructivist technology studies. It is demonstrated that despite their apparent differences, these solutions are similar in their logic of conceptualizing technology as a neutral intermediary. Forth, I look for an alternative to this logic in the actor-network theory of Bruno Latour. Here technologies are conceived in terms of an eventful association of heterogeneous entities irreducible to its conditions of possibility. The construction of technologies is understood as mediation, or as a 'making-do' process where creators are surprised by their creations and vice versa. In Latour's actor-network, technologies are interpreted as opaque and non-neutral entities. Finally, I turn to some object-lessons from smart technologies powered by neural networks to demonstrate that these are empirical vindications of Latour's conception of technical mediation. Particular attention is paid to the opacity and (non)interpretability of machine learning algorithms.
Political agency of children in the new sociology of childhood and beyond
Authors: Erpyleva Svetlana
Published: September 2024

The article is a review of theoretical discussions about children's agency in the new sociology of childhood, on the one hand, and a review of empirical studies of children's political agency, on the other. These two fields often discuss the same problem, but look at it from different perspectives. Childhood theorists debate what children's agency is and whether the search for it should be critical. Some of them continue to postulate the need to consider children as social actors, while others criticize this position for its ahistorical nature, normative charge, and simplified understanding of agency and subjectivity. Empirical researchers of children's political participation are not too concerned with the conceptualization of the very concept of agency, but the materials of their research allow us to understand how children themselves in different situations discursively construct their agency - as more progressive than that of an adult; as no different from an adult; as interconnected with an adult; or even as inferior to an adult. Children do not deprive themselves of agency out of nowhere; such deprivation can be explained by both class factors and factors associated with the characteristics of socialization. Thus, studies of children's political participation strengthen the grounds for criticizing the "naive" attitude to seek children's political agency a priori, but at the same time they call into question the possibility of one, "correct" definition of children's (political) agency. The review of discussions and findings in both areas ends with a formulation of problems and questions that childhood researchers, including Russian ones, have yet to resolve.

Authors:   , Rosa Ana Claudia Martins
Published: September 2024

Esta dissertação de mestrado tem como foco o espaço físico e as ações educacionais da biblioteca universitária como locus de ensino. A intenção é analisar o espaço físico da biblioteca universitária na perspectiva do novo paradigma da biblioteca física como espaço ativo de aprendizagem e suas funções multivariadas sob a perspectiva do bibliotecário. A pesquisa é baseada em revisão bibliográfica, livros, artigos científicos, teses e dissertações, além de entrevista com bibliotecários de instituições de ensino superior de Sorocaba-SP. A pergunta norteadora é: Que espaços e profissionais são necessários para que a biblioteca universitária seja dedicada à convivência e à troca de experiências para a comunidade local? Com as mudanças significativas nos últimos anos, observa-se que a biblioteca universitária é muito mais que emprestar livros. Elas funcionam como um espaço de lazer e entretenimento, promovendo ações culturais, eventos, networking e coworking, sendo consideradas espaços de convivência e de troca de experiências pela comunidade local. Assim, é necessário refletir se esses espaços e profissionais estão preparados para este novo momento. Como justificativa,acredita-se que a biblioteca universitária possa contribuir para a inserção do aluno no mercado de trabalho, visto que pode ajudar a desenvolver competências relevantes a a fim de auxiliá-lo a entrar e manterse no mercado de trabalho. Para esta pesquisa foram utilizados autores das áreas de biblioteconomia e de educação escolar com foco no ensino superior.
Conselho escolar sob o foco da gestão democrática na escola pública
Authors:   , Guariglia Denise Sanches da Silva
Published: September 2024

O objetivo desta dissertação é discutir os conselhos escolares dentro de uma proposta de gestão democrática nas escolas públicas. Esse é um estudo centrado na literatura especializada a partir de uma pesquisa exploratória, com observações sobre o surgimento e desenvolvimento destes conselhos no Brasil. A presente pesquisa, no seu todo, aborda discussões sobre os elementos essenciais para legitimar os Conselhos Municipais de Educação, com foco na participação e gestão democrática, com olhar especial para o município de Sorocaba-SP. A partir deste ponto, este trabalho se divide em três partes: a) Democracia e Participação, b) A importância do Conselho Escolar para a Democracia e c) Conselho Escolar: implantação e outros casos). Analisam-se os mecanismos e estratégias dos conselhos escolares como uma forma de organizar a participação da comunidade nas decisões que envolvem a instituição – isto será feito a partir de experiência em uma escola pública de Sorocaba. Os conselhos representam a participação popular organizada dentro da comunidade escolar, de acordo com a Lei Nº 14.644, de 2 de agosto de 2023, que alterou a Lei nº 9.394, de 20 de dezembro de 1996 (Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional), que prevê a instituição de Conselhos Escolares e de Fóruns dos Conselhos Escolares. A relevância desta pesquisa é justificada pelo fato de que a democracia brasileira ainda é recente e passou por transformações e uma evolução ainda insuficiente nas últimas décadas. Tais mudanças serão discutidas na primeira parte. Este estudo revelou também que o instrumento da democracia, a participação popular, não acontece de modo efetivo, ou seja, há falhas no processo. Um dos motivos seria a falta de compreensão total do que seria uma democracia plena e quais agentes da comunidade escolar poderiam de fato participar das decisões. Esta pesquisa mostrará diversos autores que discutiram a formação dos conselhos escolares e as maneiras mais eficazes de orientar a gestão escolar no caminho da democracia inclusiva.

Model kreowania zintegrowanego wizerunku przedsiębiorstwa
Authors: Dewalska-Opitek Anna
Published: September 2024

Wykreowanie zintegrowanego wizerunku przedsiębiorstwa jest jednym ze sposobów sprostania konkurencji rynkowej. Dzięki silnym pozytywnym asocjacjom przedsiębiorstwo może się wyróżnić i zająć wyjątkowe miejsce w świadomości różnych podmiotów otoczenia. Organizacje chętnie podejmują działania wizerunkowe w odniesieniu do klientów zewnętrznych, jednakże nie są one wystarczające. Niezbędne staje się kształtowanie wizerunku firmy jako pracodawcy po to, aby pozyskać i utrzymać pracowników o odpowiednich kompetencjach i potencjale intelektualnym. Budowanie wizerunku pracodawcy jest procesem komplementarnym wobec tradycyjnie rozumianego wizerunku przedsiębiorstwa. Studia nad literaturą przedmiotu dowodzą możliwości budowania image’u korporacyjnego w obu obszarach (zewnętrznym i wewnętrznym) w oparciu o uniwersalny model, co prowadzi do wykreowania zintegrowanego, kompleksowego wizerunku przedsiębiorstwa.

Authors: Matysik-Pejas Renata , Szlachta Szymon
Published: September 2024

W opracowaniu przedstawiono istotę product placement jako sposobu komunikacji marketingowej, będącego alternatywną formą w stosunku do tradycyjnej reklamy. Przedstawiono także wyniki badań konsumenckich dotyczące zauważalności product placement w mediach. W związku z trudnościami jednoznacznej klasyfikacji product placement do któregoś z narzędzi promocji, na potrzeby badania i analizy przyjęto, iż jest to rodzaj reklamy. Wyniki badania wskazują, iż większość ankietowanych potrafi rozpoznać tę formę promocji w mediach i utożsamia ją głownie z produktami żywnościowymi. Respondenci mają na ogół pozytywne opinie dotyczące zastosowania product placement do promowania produktów żywnościowych. Może to zachęcać potencjalnych zleceniodawców do częstszego wykorzystywania tej formy komunikacji marketingowej do promowania swoich wyrobów.

Published: September 2024

The increased criminal activity associated with unauthorized entry into facilities has become a global concern. Traditional mechanical locks suffer from drawbacks such as key loss, theft, duplication risks, and time-consuming operation. Therefore, biometrics has been explored as a key to accessing a restricted area. However, some challenges still need to be solved in developing such systems, including user registration, response speed, maintainability, and the ability to distinguish between real and fake individuals. This paper proposes and develops a biometric lock system (BLS) whose opening is performed by recognizing a person?s face. It solves the challenges of re-training, antispoofing, real-time response, and works inside an embedding system. The proposed BLS overcomes these challenges using a pre-trained network called FaceNet for feature extraction and coding into 128-dimensional vectors.We use the characteristic vector provided by FaceNet and a cosine distance to recognize the persons. It also incorporates ResNet18 + remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) to avoid spoofing. The architecture was implemented in a BLS, demonstrating an impressive false acceptance rate of 0% under varying lighting conditions, with an average response time of 1.68 seconds from facial detection to door opening. The BLS has easy maintainable devices, providing enhanced security by accurately identifying individuals and preventing unauthorized access. The system can distinguish between real and fake people without using specialized hardware. Making it a versatile solution suitable for homes, offices, and commercial spaces. The results underscore the potential efficacy of our proposed BLS in mitigating security challenges related to unwarranted access to restricted facilities.
TRL-PROTAC: A pre-trained generator of PROTACs targeting specific proteins optimized by reinforcement learning
Authors: Dai Yuhao , Zhu Fei
Published: September 2024

Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) introduce a novel paradigm in drug development, incorporating three essential components: the warhead, the E3 ligand, and the linker. The complexity of the ternary structure, particularly the intricate design of the linker, presents a significant challenge in PROTACs drug design. Here an integrated protocol for design and evaluation of PROTACs targeting specific proteins, called TRL-PROTAC is proposed. TRL-PROTAC is focused on the de novo design of complete PROTACs by effectively joining the designed ligands targeting the proteins of interest (POI) with linkers. The ligands for POIs and E3 ligases are generated by a molecular generation model for targeting proteins, and the linker design is generated by a sequence-to-sequence model consisting of a transformer variant and the policy-based reinforcement learning method which is employed to optimize the reward values for generating PROTACs. The three components are then integrated and optimized based on their pharmacokinetic (PK) and degradation (DEG) properties. The experimental results have strongly confirmed that TRL-PROTAC is superior in optimizing properties. For existing PROTACs, TRL-PROTAC improves DEG scores by 0.45 and lowers PK scores by 1.20. Moreover, TRL-PROTAC enhances binding affinity by 2.15 in PROTACs generated from scratch.
BLSAE-SNIDS: A Bi-LSTM sparse autoencoder framework for satellite network intrusion detection
Authors: Shuxin Shi , Bing Han , Zhongdai Wu , Dezhi Han , Huafeng Wu , Xiaojun Mei
Published: September 2024

Due to disparities in tolerance, resource availability, and acquisition of labeled training data between satellite-terrestrial integrated networks (STINs) and terrestrial networks, the application of traditional terrestrial network intrusion detection techniques to satellite networks poses significant challenges. This paper presents a satellite network intrusion detection system named Bi-LSTM sparse selfencoder (BLSAE-SNIDS) to address this issue. Through the development of an innovative unsupervised training Bi-LSTM stacked self-encoder, BLSAE-SNIDS facilitates feature extraction from satellite network traffic, diminishes dimensionality, considerably reduces training and testing durations, and enhances the attack prediction accuracy of the classifier. To assess the efficacy of the proposed model, we conduct comprehensive experiments utilizing STIN and UNSW-NB15 datasets. The results obtained from the STIN dataset demonstrate that BLSAE-SNIDS achieves 99.99% accuracy with reduced computational and transmission overheads alongside enhanced flexibility. Furthermore, results from the UNSW-NB15 dataset exhibit BLSAE-SNIDS? proficiency in detecting various network intrusion attacks efficiently. These findings indicate that BLSAE-SNIDS suits general satellite security networks and offers a novel approach to designing security systems for polar satellite networks, thus exhibiting practical utility.

Published: September 2024

Introduction/Objective. Green dentistry as a term has been introduced into dental practice in Serbia in recent years. Minimal amount of research on the topic of medical waste disposal in health care institutions is available at the moment. The aim of this research is to determine how familiar the professional public as well as dental students are with this term and whether they apply the recommended environmental protection measures in their daily clinical work. Methods. The study was conducted in the form of a survey that referred to the attitude of the professional public regarding environmentally friendly dental practice, in the period from June 1, 2022 until November 1, 2022. The survey includes demographic information, as well as 21 questions related to awareness and application of green dentistry in daily clinical practice. Results. Results indicate a very low level of information among the professional public regarding the mentioned concept, where as much as 36% of the total number of respondents do not have any information about green dentistry (n = 45) and only 6% (n = 8) are fully informed about the given concept. Conclusion. On the basis of the obtained results, it can be concluded that the professional public?s attitude towards green dentistry is such that its application is expected to reduce the consumption of available resources, as well as to improve the environment.

Objective:

Diabetes mellitus affects 537 million people globally, with 34% expected to develop foot ulceration in their lifetime. Diabetes-related foot ulceration cause strain on healthcare systems worldwide, necessitating provision of high-quality evidence to guide their management. Given heterogeneity of reported outcomes, a Core Outcome Set (COS) was developed to standardize outcome measures in studies assessing treatments for diabetes-related foot ulceration.

Research Design and Methods:

The COS was developed using COMET methodology. A systematic review and patient interviews generated a long-list of outcomes that were rated by patients and experts using a 9-point Likert scale (from 1-not important to 9-critical) in the first round of the Delphi survey. Based on predefined criteria, outcomes without consensus were reprioritized in a second Delphi round. Critical outcomes and those without consensus after two Delphi rounds were discussed in the consensus meeting where the COS was ratified.

Results:

The systematic review and patient interviews generated 103 candidate outcomes. The two consecutive Delphi rounds were completed by 336 and 176 respondents, resulting in an overall second round response rate of 52%. Of 37 outcomes discussed in the consensus meeting (22 critical and 15 without consensus after the second round), eight formed the COS: wound healing, time to healing, new/recurrent ulceration, infection, major amputation, minor amputation, health-related quality of life and mortality

Conclusions:

The proposed COS for studies assessing treatments for diabetes-related foot ulceration was developed using COMET methodology. Its adoption by the research community will facilitate assessment of comparative effectiveness of current and evolving interventions.

As políticas ambientais são de grande importância na garantia do desenvolvimento econômico sustentável e na mitigação dos problemas ambientais como o efeito estufa. O estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma discussão historiográfica do surgimento da ideia de proteção do meio ambiente, da assinatura do Protocolo de Kyoto e a participação do Brasil em relação ao enfrentamento proposto pelo acordo. Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, com abordagem descritiva utilizando-se da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. A partir do estudo evidenciou-se que o Brasil para além da vigência do documento de Kyoto, teve no Mecanismo de Desenvolvimento Limpo (MDL) a sua principal contribuição em âmbito global. Apesar das controvérsias sobre os dados de emissões de Gases de Efeito Estufa (GEE), constatou-se a existência de um robusto arcabouço jurídico-normativo atinente à questão climática.

Poverty alleviation policies and elitist approach in Nigeria: An assessment
Authors: Adebajo Adeola Aderayo , Chukwudi Celestina Ekene , Olu-Owolabi Fadeke Esther , Salako Samuel Anuoluwapo
Published: September 2024

Poverty, as a phenomenon, remains an obstacle to global sustainable development. Although a universal malaise, it is more prevalent in underdeveloped countries, including Nigeria. However, because of its devastating impacts on the Nigerian economy, such as increasing death rates, high crime rates, insecurity difficulties, threats to national cohesion, and so on, successive administrations have implemented poverty alleviation programs to mitigate the consequences of this disease. Worryingly, despite a multiplicity of projects and massive human and natural resources invested to match global standards, Nigeria remains impoverished. The curiosity at how these programs fail, either because of implementation hiccups or because elites’ wealth and power influence these programs spurred the paper to assess poverty alleviation policies and elitist approaches in Nigeria. The study employed the desk study approach, as it examined secondary sources such as books, journals, articles, and magazines. Its theoretical underpinning was the elite theory. The paper discovered that several factors such as corruption, the elitist nature of the policies which in disguise reflect public interests, lack of continuity, lack of coordination and monitoring system, misappropriation of public resources, and others, led to the poor performances of government in alleviating poverty in Nigeria. The paper concludes that, while the rate of poverty index in Nigeria rises year after year, poverty alleviation efforts in Nigeria have had little or no influence on the Nigerian economy, since most of these projects are purely reflective of the elites’ interests rather than the masses. Therefore, the paper recommends that for there to be a reduction in poverty incidence in Nigeria, a holistic developmental approach should be adopted, the policies formulated and implemented should sync with the needs of the citizens, and quality and viable programs should be sustained and financed irrespective of change in government; public accountability should be instilled; proper coordination and monitoring system should be domesticated, etc.
