Published: December 2022

Chemical fungicides used in plant disease management may have deteriorative effects on humans, animals, and the environment. The use of native strains of Trichoderma spp. against plant diseases may help to reduce the dependence on chemical fungicides. In this study, eleven novel isolates of Trichoderma spp. from virgin forest soils of different agro-climatic zones of Kerala were characterized and evaluated for their efficacy against damping off disease of tomato caused by Pythium aphanidermatum under in vitro and in vivo; and also, against wilt pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum under in vitro conditions. Dual culture assay showed that all the Trichoderma isolates were found to inhibit the growth of P. aphanidermatum and F. oxysporum under in vitro conditions with multiple modes of action. The mycelial colour, texture, and conidial characters varied among all the isolates. The volatile metabolites by isolates of Trichoderma spp. also showed in vitro inhibition of the pathogens. Seed treatment (20 g kg-1) and potting medium addition @ 2 % (w/w) of isolates TRMW-2, TRKR-2, TRPN-3, TRPN-11 and TRPN-17 could effectively reduce pre- and post-emergence damping off of tomato. Among them, isolates TRMW-2, TRKR-2, and TRPN-11 were the most effective ones in reducing pre- and post-emergence damping off to about 72 and 90 percent respectively. Molecular identification of the isolates of Trichoderma spp. using ITS universal primers revealed similarity with certain reference strains of the NCBI Genbank database.

Authors: BAŞARAN Mehmet , KARA Veysel
Published: December 2022

This study aims to examine the attitudes of primary school teachers who have refugee students in their classes towards these students. The convergent parallel pattern, one of the mixed research designs, was used in the study. The study data were obtained from 311 primary school teachers, with 197 female and 114 males, working in Şahinbey and Şehitkamil districts of Gaziantep. In the study, "Demographic Information Form," "Refugee Student Attitude Scale", and "Semi-structured Interview Form" were prepared by the researchers were used as the data collection tools. While the SPSS 23.0 program was used to analyze the quantitative data obtained with the data collection tools, descriptive analysis was employed in the analysis of the qualitative data. According to the statistical analysis results, it was found that the overall scale and proficiency sub-dimension of the scale differed significantly in favor of male teachers in terms of gender variable, proficiency sub-dimension in favor of 51-60 age group in terms of age variable, According to the number of refugee students in teachers' classrooms, in favor of teachers with one refugee student in the overall scale and in the sub-dimensions of adaptation and proficiency Proficiency dimension in favor of teachers who served 21+ years in terms of years of service. In the content analysis of the interviews, it was revealed that the teachers had a language problem with their communication with the refugee students, and they tried to overcome this problem through Turkish-Arabic-speaking students or translators, which was a language problem in the adaptation of the refugee students and those parents had a negative view of co-education, That teachers planned activities and group games to overcome the adaptation problem. In addition, considering that the language problem and reading comprehension are the biggest problems in refugee education, the teachers underlined that there should be no discrimination and that language education should be provided to the refugee students and their parents as the key recommendations. The findings were discussed in the light of the literature, and the recommendations were made for the practitioners and researchers.
Belediyede Çalışan Kuşakların Örgütsel Özdeşleşme ve İşten Ayrılma Niyetlerinin Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli ile Analizi
Authors: AKSU Muharrem
Published: December 2022

Çalışanların örgütleri ile özdeşleşme düzeylerinin yüksek olması onların verimlilik ve performanslarını yükseltebilmektedir. Aynı zamanda örgütler için ciddi maliyet ve kayıplara neden olan yetişmiş işgücünün işten ayrılmalarını da engelleyebilmektedir. Dolayısıyla sektörel bazda çalışanların örgütle özdeşleşmelerinin işten ayrılma niyetlerine etkisinin analiz edilmesi literatüre önemli bir katkı sağlayacaktır. Günümüzde özellikle örgütlerde birkaç kuşağın aynı anda çalışması etkili ve uygun insan kaynakları politikalarının uygulanması açısından önem arz etmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın özgün tarafını oluşturan spesifik bir alan seçilerek belediyelerde taşörenlere bağlı olarak çalışan işgörenlerin örgütsel özdeşleşme ve işten ayrılma niyetleri arasındaki ilişki analiz edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Aynı olgular kuşaklar bağlamında farklılık gösterip göstermediği de çalışmanın diğer bir amacını oluşturmaktadır. Bu amaçla, ilçe belediyesinde taşörenler vasıtasıyla çalışan 355 katılımcıdan oluşan örneklem analiz edilmiştir. Analizde Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli uygulanmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, katılımcıların örgütsel özdeşleme düzeyi arttıkça işten ayrılma niyetlerinin azaldığı görülmüştür. Ancak kuşaklar kontrol edildiğinde, kuşak gruplarının örgütsel özdeşleşme ile işten ayrılma niyetleri arasındaki ilişkide anlamlı bir farklılık bulunamamıştır.

Authors: KIRANŞAN Kemal
Published: December 2022

Pervari (Siirt) Karstik platosu, Doğu Anadolu Karstik Bölgesi’nin kıvrımlı kuşak karst alanı içerisinde yer alır. Pervari (Siirt) karstik platosunda karstlaşma ile tektonizma arasında çok önemli ilişkiler vardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Pervari (Siirt) karstik platosunda karstlaşma ile tektonizma arasındaki ilişkileri ortaya koymaktır. Bunun için jeoloji ve topoğrafya haritaları, diri fay haritaları, sayısal yükselti modeli, deprem kataloğu verileri, Corine (2018) verileri, meteorolojik veriler, NDVI verileri, Google Earth görüntüleri ve saha çalışması verileri kullanılmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri (CBS) teknolojileri ile jeomorfolojik yöntemler kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda Pervari ilçesinin güneybatı kesiminde bulunan platoluk alanda karstlaşmanın çok iyi geliştiği buna karşın güneydeki yüksek dağlık alanda ise elverişsiz şartlardan dolayı karstlaşmanın daha zayıf olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Yine bu her iki alanda karstik şekillerin uzanışı ile tektonik hatların uzanışı arasında paralelliğin bulunması ve bu sahada çok sayıda morfotektonik şekillerin (basınç sırtı, fay dikliği, asılı vadi, çizgisel vadi) oluşmuş olması bu alanda karstlaşmanın ve morfolojinin tektonizmanın denetiminde geliştiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca çalışma alanında bulanan akarsuların uzanış doğrultularının sahanın güneyinde bulunan sağ yanal atımlı Kozluk-Narlı Fayı’nın uzanış doğrultuları ile uyumlu olması ve bu akarsuların üzerinde çok sayıda sağ yanal atımlı ötelenmelerin bulunması, çalışma alanında Kozluk-Narlı fayının tek bir kol halinde olmayıp bir fay zonu halinde bulunduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
Taming the Glitter Ball: A Diagnosis of Shakespeare ‘for all time’—Sketched from South Africa
Authors: Wright Laurence
Published: December 2022

Shakespeare travels the globe more variously and unpredictably than any other dramatist. In performance his texts have shown themselves hospitable to vastly different ideological interpretations. By making these two points, I do not mean that Shakespeare pops up around the globe, sometimes in quite extraordinary guises, without rhyme or reason. Far from it. Where Shakespeare makes his appearance this is an act of deliberate choice, by a producer, a production company, an arts foundation, a school or university, a national arts authority, or even simply an ad hoc group of Shakespeare enthusiasts. His advent is always intentional, and often contextually explicit, whatever the rationale. But the sheer variety of guises in which his work appears, the disparate cultural and ideological vogues that attach to his work, the geographical spread of art pieces, performances and installations based on Shakespeare, not to mention the diverse artistic disciplines which seize on him as an inspiration, calls for explanation. No other artist in any medium exhibits comparable artistic fertility across time and space. To claim the limelight for more than 400 years without any sign of diminution is remarkable. This article seeks to understand why this ubiquity is possible. Specifically, is there a definable textual mechanism underlying his historical and international success? At the outset it should be indicated that this paper focuses on a technical diagnosis of textual prerequisites for Shakespeare’s international success. It is not about what his plays say or mean, and only incidentally about the values they exemplify. While the paper sets out to describe textual features which make possible some of his manifold theatrical enchantments, there is no intention to describe, evoke, or celebrate those enchantments.
“Effigies magnorum virorum in Republica." O ikonografii obrazu "Hołd carów Szujskich" z zamku w Podhorcach

Przedmiotem analizy jest monumentalny obraz olejny Stanisław Żołkiewski przedstawia „Zygmuntowi III i królewiczowi Władysławowi na sejmie w roku 1611 pojmanych carów Szujskich ze zbiorów Lwowskiego Muzeum Historycznego. Dotąd uważano go za kopię obrazu Tomasza Dolabelli z drugiej antykamery Zamku Królewskiego w Warszawie. Autor dowodzi, że jest to kopia innego malowidła stropowego, zapewne pochodzącego z ktorejś z rezydencji magnackich, które nie powtarzało dokładnie domniemanego pierwowzoru autorstwa Dolabelli. Król Zygmunt III ukazany tu został wespół z senatorami jako primus inter pares. Zleceniodawcy można upatrywać w jednym z wyobrażonych portretowo senatorów.

Authors: AYIK Öznur , ALPULLU Aytekin
Published: December 2022

Aim: This study aims to examine the relation between trainers’ job satisfaction serving in Youth and Sports Provincial and County Directorates and transformational leadership behaviors they perceive of their managers.Material and Method: In the study, quantitative method, correlational survey model was used, participants were determined by the convenience sampling method and a questionnaire was applied to 381 trainers. In data analyses; percentage (%), frequency (f), normality of data and Pearson correlation were applied. Significance level as p<0,05 and confidence interval were accepted as 95%.Results: The relationship between all dimensions of transformational leadership and job satisfaction was observed. Job satisfaction levels were also increased with rising perceptions of employees regarding transformational leadership. (r= 0,569; p<0,001). Positive relationship between the transformational leadership dimensions and the intrinsic dimension of job satisfaction from (r=0,412) to (r=0,447), and between the extrinsic dimension from (r=0,446) to (r=0,554) were found. Among values, the first highest value was between the dimension of individual attention relation and extrinsic job satisfaction (r=0,554), the second highest value was the between the dimension of individualized consideration and extrinsic job satisfaction (r= 0,523).Conclusion: Trainers' point of view on transformational leadership has shown that the relationship between extrinsic job satisfaction and transformational leadership dimensions is usually stronger than intrinsic job satisfaction. In terms of the job satisfaction of trainers, leadership is not the determining factor alone when it comes to job-related environmental factors. In this study, it has been determined that transformational leadership is related to job satisfaction and when there is an expansion in the perception levels of trainers as to transformational leadership, their job satisfaction levels have also expanded.

Family institution as the basis of the state family policy of the Republic of Belarus
Authors: Andryiashka Maryna V.
Published: December 2022

According to the National Security Concept, approved by Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus dated November 9, 2010 no. 575, strengthening the institution of the family as a social institution that is most favorable for meeting the need for children and their upbringing is the main national interest in the demographic sphere. In connection with the above, the subject of this study is the legislation of the Republic of Belarus, which defines the boundaries of understanding the term “family” as a legally significant category. The purpose of the study is to identify contradictions in the legislation in terms of understanding the term “family” and its individual components. In the course of the study, general scientific methods (functional and system-structural methods), as well as special research methods in law (formal legal method and the method of legal hermeneutics) were used. Thus, in particular, the following was established. The objects of family policy are the family itself, as well as state and public institutions that directly affect its functioning and development. The key parties in the implementation of state family policy measures are the family institution as a social institution, other social institutions (economic, political, cultural, and others), as well as state institutions (parliament, government, presidency, judicial system). The area of possible application of the results of the work can be rule-making activities. Theoretical conclusions are formulated, as well as proposals are made aimed at improving the legislation of the Republic of Belarus.
Prevention of corruption in the field of land and construction relations, criminological aspect
Authors: Orlov Pavel P.
Published: December 2022

The significance of this study is due to the importance of land as the main strategic resource. The relations that develop over land and construction are considered from the standpoint of unified land-building relations based on the principle of the unity of the fate of land plots and objects firmly associated with them. Digital technologies that allow the transition to a digital state include cloud services, quantum technologies, artificial intelligence, etc. The transition itself is a digital transformation. This work is based on this point of view. The purpose is to draw attention to the problem of corruption in the field of land and construction relations. Based on the analysis of statistical data, as well as the study of the opinions of scientists, a number of circumstances have been identified that make it possible to attribute the prevention of corruption in the field of land and construction relations to the most important ones. Touching upon the criminal-legal aspect of the protection of the relations under study in the context of digital transformation, it is proposed to introduce a separate rule into the criminal legislation in order to protect land-building relations. Taking into account the rapid entry of digital technologies into our lives, an attempt was made to comprehend the digital possibilities for preventing corruption at the present stage, the importance of introducing these technologies as a means of preventing corruption in the studied area was noted using the example of the state of China. The opinion on the relevance and necessity of developing personal characteristics in the fight against corruption against the backdrop of the development of digital technologies is indicated.
Community Based Participatory Research: A Ladder of Opportunity for Engaged Scholarship in Higher Education
Authors: Molosi-France Keneilwe , Dipholo Kenneth
Published: December 2022

Higher Education the world over is recognized as a driver of development in the knowledge based economy. It is believed that Higher Education benefits the economy through the formation of human capital and building a knowledge base that contributes to solving problems in society. However, voices of frustration about graduates being unable to relate theory to practice in different contexts raises questions about the quality of teaching and learning in Higher Education Institutions (HEI). Some reports have shown that graduates seem to leave HEI’ s disengaged, ill equipped, and unable to apply acquired university knowledge to real world problems. In addition, even though the mission of the university is inclusive of engagement among others, community engagement priority seems to be emphasized only on the part of faculty members and less so on students. This in part is a result of a curriculum that mainly promotes classroom based learning and the ivory tower mentality of HEI, which places the community in the periphery of knowledge and data production. This conceptual paper argues that in order for HEI’s to produce quality graduates, who are innovative and active citizens, a transformative teaching and learning scholarship that moves beyond “classroom-based theory” is necessary, more especially for students in applied fields of study such as community development.  Borrowing from Nyerere’s educational philosophy, this paper posits that Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR), with its collaborative inquiry, social action and service learning, may provide a basis for engaged scholarship of teaching and learning that promotes engagement for higher education students in applied fields of study. Thus, by exploring the concepts of  engaged scholarship and CBPR and the nuances that exist between them, this paper seeks to underscore the importance of CBPR and how it can contribute to engaged scholarship for students.
¿Psicosis luego de sobredosis por opioides? Lesión isquémica bilateral del globo pálido como causa orgánica insospechada.
Authors: Vélez-Leal Juan Luis , Hoyos-Zuluaga Catalina , Zapata- Álvarez Julián
Published: December 2022

El abordaje de pacientes intoxicados que presentan antecedentes de patología psiquiátrica supone un reto en la atención médica. La presencia de una patología dual puede conducir a que algunos síntomas somáticos sean desestimados y no se consideren como manifestación de una posible patología grave subyacente. Se reporta el caso de una paciente que, durante su hospitalización debida a un episodio depresivo, presentó una sobredosis incidental de opioides. Al recuperarse de ella, sin embargo, presentó comportamiento desorganizado e ideas delirantes, inicialmente atribuidas a la depresión. Estudios ulteriores demostraron una causa orgánica grave subyacente: lesión isquémica bilateral del globo pálido. Se analiza el cuadro clínico a la luz de la literatura pertinente, abordando los temas de delirium, espectro clínico debido a las lesiones del globo pálido y finalizando con una breve descripción sobre la sobredosis y neurotoxicidad por opioides. Frente a síntomas no concordantes con la evolución usual de una descompensación psicopatológica o una intoxicación por drogas, debe ahondarse en la exploración de posibles causas orgánicas, objetivo para el cual se sugiere considerar estudios de neuroimágenes en todo paciente que experimente una sobredosis de opioides y que posteriormente presente graves manifestaciones de una alteración cognitiva.

Effect of the COVID-19 Global Pandemic on Illinois Children Tested for Blood Lead Level and Exposure
Authors: Fokum Frida D. , Entezar Tara , McAfee Kert
Published: December 2022

Objectives. To determine whether the number of children tested for lead exposure and the number of case rates increased (rate ratio [RR] > 1), decreased (RR < 1), or remained stable (RR = 1) during COVID-19 pandemic year 2020 compared with prepandemic year 2019.

Methods. We analyzed more than 415 000 children’s records reported to the Illinois Department of Public Health in 2019 and 2020 by demographic characteristics. The testing rate was the number of children tested yearly per population. The case rate was the proportion of children whose yearly tests showed a blood lead level of 5 or more micrograms per deciliter. RR was the 2020 case rate divided by the 2019 case rate.

Results. In 2020, 19.6% of children were tested for lead compared with 25.5% in 2019. Testing decreased in 97% of counties. The 24% decreased testing in 2020 was notably in African Americans (36.4% decrease), high-risk zip codes (29.8% decrease), and rural counties (26.9% decrease). Case rates increased in rural counties, high-risk zip codes, Whites, and Hispanics.

Conclusions. During pandemic year 2020, the number of children tested for lead decreased by 24%, and case rates increased in 51% of counties.

Public Health Implications. Redesignation of high-risk zip codes is recommended to increase the testing of at-risk populations. (Am J Public Health. 2023;113(1):89–95. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.307109 )

Published: December 2022

Objectives. To assess the effectiveness of vaccine-induced immunity against new infections, all-cause emergency department (ED) and hospital visits, and mortality in Indiana.

Methods. Combining statewide testing and immunization data with patient medical records, we matched individuals who received at least 1 dose of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines with individuals with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection on index date, age, gender, race/ethnicity, zip code, and clinical diagnoses. We compared the cumulative incidence of infection, all-cause ED visits, hospitalizations, and mortality.

Results. We matched 267 847 pairs of individuals. Six months after the index date, the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection was significantly higher in vaccine recipients (6.7%) than the previously infected (2.9%). All-cause mortality in the vaccinated, however, was 37% lower than that of the previously infected. The rates of all-cause ED visits and hospitalizations were 24% and 37% lower in the vaccinated than in the previously infected.

Conclusions. The significantly lower rates of all-cause ED visits, hospitalizations, and mortality in the vaccinated highlight the real-world benefits of vaccination. The data raise questions about the wisdom of reliance on natural immunity when safe and effective vaccines are available.

Representaciones e imaginarios urbanos a través de los opening de tres series estadounidenses: The Sopranos, Weeds y House of Cards
Las secuencias de apertura de una serie o de una película funcionan como preámbulo en el que se encapsulan elementos denotativos de la trama o se insertan atributos estéticos e iconográficos directamente relacionados con la historia. Este trabajo analiza la representación de la ciudad contemporánea estadounidense a través de los openings de tres series recientes con notable recepción: The Sopranos (HBO, 1999–2007), Weeds (Showtime, 2005–2012) y House of Cards (Netflix, 2013–2018). Se lleva a cabo una caracterización de estos espacios urbanos, la representación y uso que se hace de sus elementos, la diferenciación (o no) entre “realidad” y ficción en cuanto a la configuración de su dimensión espacial y urbana, junto con la proyección mediática de los distintos contextos urbanos. The Sopranos y House of Cards dan cuenta de la figuración y funcionalidad de núcleos urbanos conocidos globalmente (Nueva York y Washington DC) y de su espacio metropolitano. Weeds, pero también The Sopranos, detalla lugares del ámbito suburbano, ejemplo del urban sprawl estadounidense e ideal residencial familiar, en contraposición con la ciudad vinculada a la cultura y la historia de House of Cards. Las tres secuencias de apertura conforman y representan los estereotipos del imaginario colectivo que tenemos del paisaje urbano de la costa este y oeste del país.

Pengaruh Kemandirian Belajar Terhadap Minat Belajar IPA Siswa Kelas VIII SMP
Authors: Linasari Reni , Arif Syaiful
Published: December 2022

Pada dasarnya pendidikan IPA penting untuk diajarkan pada setiap jenjangnya. Pada jenjang SMP pendidikan IPA merupakan sebuah pembelajaran yang diajarkan secara terpadu secara utuh dan tidak dapat dipisahkan. Karena begitu kompleknya pembelajaran IPA maka diperlukan sebuah mental dan minat belajar yang tinggi dalam diri peserta didik. Minat belajar haruslah ditumbuhkan pada diri peserta didik. Karena kompleksnya pendidikan IPA, diketahui semangat dan minat belajar  peserta didik kelas VIII di SMPN 1 Sambit terhadap mata pelajaran IPA mulai menurun. Menurunnya minat belajar dapat dipengaruhi oleh  rendahnya kemandirian belajar peserta didik. Oleh karena itu peneliti tertarik untuk meneliti lebih dalam tentang pengaruh kemandirian belajar terhadap minat belajar IPA di SMPN 1 Sambit.  Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kemandirian belajar peserta didik terhadap minat belajar IPA kelas VIII di SMPN 1 Sambit. Pendektan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kuantitatif, dengan jenis penelitian ex post facto. Teknik pengambilan data dilakukan secara random sampling.

An Improved Equilibrium Optimizer for Optimal Placement of Distributed Generators in Distribution Systems Considering Harmonic Distortion Limits
Authors: Pham Thai Dinh , Nguyen Thang Trung , Le Chi Kien
Published: December 2022

This paper proposes an improved equilibrium optimizer (IEO) for determining optimal location and effective size of distributed generation units (DGUs) in the distribution systems in order to minimize the total power loss on distribution branches, investment cost, and operation and maintenance cost. To reach good solutions of DGUs placement, limits regarding voltage, current and harmonic flows are also seriously concerned and they must be satisfied exactly within a predetermined range. Especially, individual harmonic distortion (IHD) and total harmonic distortion (THD) of bus voltage must falls into IEEE Std. 519. The proposed IEO is developed from the original equilibrium optimizer (EO), which was motivated by control volume mass balance models. This novel algorithm can effectively expand the search area and avoid the premature convergence to low quality solution spaces. With the determined solutions from IEO, not only are the voltages well improved, but also the harmonics are mitigated from the offending values down to the allowable values of IEEE Std. 519. Moreover, the total power loss is significantly reduced from 0.2110 MW to 0.0815 MW, 0.2245 MW to 0.07197 MW and 0.3161 MW to 0.1515 MW for IEEE 33-bus, IEEE 69-bus and IEEE 85-bus radial distribution systems, respectively. Not only that, the total cost of DGUs is also more economical and consumes only $3.4753 million, $3.2840 million and $3.0593 million corresponding to the three systems for a 20-year planning period. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared to three other implemented methods consisting of artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, salp swarm algorithm (SSA) and EO, and eight previously published methods for the three test systems. The comparisons of results imply that IEO is better than other methods in terms of performance, stability and convergence characteristic.

Background
Past research has identified the family of Serum Amyloid A (SAA) proteins to be intricately involved in inflammatory signaling and various disease pathologies. In cancer patients, SAA proteins have been reported to be upregulated in blood and tumor tissue, correlating in many instances with disease progression. However, the exact role of SAA proteins in cancer pathology remains to be fully elucidated. We, therefore, investigated systemic SAA1 and SAA2 (SAA1/2) in modulating the inflammasome, cell cycle, apoptosis, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
Methods
Breast cancer allografts were established in wild-type mice (WT), and mice lacking the SAA1/2 orthologs (SAADKO). Subsequently, tumor volume was monitored, species survival determined, the inflammatory profiles of mice assessed with a multiplex assay, and tumor molecular biology and histology characterized with western blotting and H&E histological staining.
Results
WT tumor-bearing mice had increased levels of plasma SAA compared to WT control mice, while SAADKO control and tumor-bearing mice presented with lower levels of SAA in their plasma. SAADKO tumor-bearing mice also displayed significantly lower concentrations of the systemic inflammatory markers, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10 compared to WT tumor-bearing mice. Tumors from SAADKO mice overall had lower levels of SAA compared to tumors from WT mice, decreased apoptotic (cytochrome c, caspases 9/3, PARP), and inflammasome (NFκB, caspase 1, NLRP3) signaling, with little to no tumor necrosis.
Conclusions
We show that systemic SAA1/2 promotes the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in breast cancer tumors and the generation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which promotes apoptosis and tumor necrosis. Based on these findings, we hypothesize that SAA1/2-mediated necrosis is due to NLRP3-mediated pore formation in membranes, while apoptosis signaling is likely mediated via the TIF-IA-NF-κB-apoptosis axis.
Analysis of Convergence in Energy Intensity of GDP in ASEAN-5 Countries: A Fractional Integration Approach with Fourier Function after Wavelet Transform
Authors: TATAR Havanur ERGÜN , KONAT Gökhan
Published: December 2022

It is seen that the convergence phenomenon, which emphasizes equality in the income levels of the countries, has recently intensified in energy studies. In this study, the convergence of the GDP in energy intensity was examined with the data for the period 1980–2019. The wavelet transform method was used by following a different path from the existing literature. In this way, the convergence phenomenon has been examined in different time periods as short-term, medium-term, and long-term. At this point, the study is an original study that tests the energy density convergence of GDP for ASEAN-5 in different time periods. The results reveal that countries show different convergence trends in the medium and long term. Since the convergence hypothesis is valid only in the short term, it is important that countries implement different policies for different time periods in the medium and long term, since short-term policies will be valid.

Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases diagnosed among the population across the globe. The number of cases is increasing each year so are the different diagnosis tools and techniques and technologies. Significant increase in the mortality rate worldwide leads to tremendous scope to device and implement latest computer aided diagnostic systems for early detection. One such technique is machine learning coupled with medical imaging modalities that have proved to be efficient in diagnosing various medical conditions. Current study presents a review of different machine learning techniques applied on emerging modalities for cancer diagnosis from 2018 to 2022. It was found that traditional machine learning algorithms like SVM, GMM performed very well in classification. But overall deep learning has dominated the field of medical image analysis. Researchers have achieved 100% accuracy in classification of cancerous and normal tissue images using medical image analysis with the help of machine learning. This survey presents the studies based on Lymphoma cancer analysis based on HIS systems

Published: December 2022

Background
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent the main cause of death in Mexico, while high blood pressure is suffered by about half of the adult population. Sodium intake is one of the main risk factors for these diseases. The Mexican adult population consumes about 3.1 g/day, an amount that exceeds what is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) < 2g sodium/day. The objective of this study was to estimate the impact of reducing sodium intake on CVD mortality in Mexico using a scenario simulation model.
Methods
The Integrated Model of Preventable Risk (PRIME) was used to estimate the number of deaths prevented or postponed (DPD) due to CVD in the Mexican adult population following the following sodium intake reduction scenarios: a) according to the WHO recommendations; b) an “optimistic” reduction of 30%; and c) an "intermediate" reduction of 10%.
Results
The results show that a total of 27,700 CVD deaths could be prevented or postponed for scenario A, 13,900 deaths for scenario B, and 5,800 for scenario C. For all scenarios, the highest percentages of DPP by type of CVD are related to ischemic heart disease, hypertensive disease and stroke.
Conclusions
The results show that if Mexico considers implementing policies with greater impact to reduce sodium/salt consumption, a significant number of deaths from CVD could be prevented or postponed.

Radio-frequency accelerators are engines of discovery, powering high-energy physics and photon science, but are also large and expensive due to their limited accelerating fields. Plasma-wakefield accelerators (PWFAs) provide orders-of-magnitude stronger fields in the charge-density wave behind a particle bunch travelling in a plasma, promising particle accelerators of greatly reduced size and cost. However, PWFAs easily degrade the beam quality of the bunches they accelerate. Emittance, which determines how tightly beams can be focused, is a critical beam quality in for instance colliders and free-electron lasers, but is particularly prone to degradation. We demonstrate, for the first time, emittance preservation in a high-gradient and high-efficiency PWFA while simultaneously preserving charge and energy spread. This establishes that PWFAs can accelerate without degradation—essential for energy boosters in photon science and multistage facilities for compact high-energy particle colliders.
