Authors: Kamel Elshaarawy Mohamed , Eltarabily Mohamed Galal
Published: August 2024

Assessing groundwater quality is vital for irrigation, but financial constraints in developing countries often result in infrequent sampling. This study comprehensively analyzes the groundwater quality of the El Moghra aquifer in Egypt's arid Western Desert, for its suitability for irrigation uses. Detailed hydrochemical analysis and advanced machine learning (ML) techniques, including geographic information systems, were employed to enhance spatial analysis and predictive accuracy. Various ML models, such as random forest, adaptive boosting, and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), were optimized using Bayesian optimization to predict the irrigation water quality index (IWQI) accurately. The evaluation incorporated visual and quantitative methods, alongside ranking analysis, to validate model effectiveness. Shapley Additive exPlanations feature importance analysis and a graphical user interface (GUI) model were developed based on the best predictive model. The results indicated that the groundwater quality is generally suitable for irrigation, with XGBoost showing the best performance, achieving a root mean square error of 5.602 and a determination coefficient (R²) of 0.872. Sodium concentration was identified as the most significant factor affecting the IWQI. The GUI facilitates easy prediction of IWQI, aiding agricultural water management and resource allocation within the region.
Ribosome Biogenesis and Cancer: Insights into NOB1 and PNO1 Mechanisms
Authors: Ragunath Muthu , Shen Aling , Wei Lin , Peng Jun , Thiruvengadam Muthu
Published: August 2024

:

Post-transcriptional modifications (PTMs) are pivotal in the regulation of gene expression, and pseudouridylation
is emerging as a critical player. This modification, facilitated by enzymes such as NOB1 (PNO1),
is integral to ribosome biogenesis. PNO1, in collaboration with the NIN1/RPN12 binding protein 1 homolog
(NOB1), is vital for the maturation of ribosomes, transitioning 20S pre-rRNA into functional 18S rRNA.
Recent studies have highlighted PNO1's potential involvement in cancer progression; however, its underlying
mechanisms remain unclear. Relentless growth characterizing cancer underscores the burgeoning significance
of epitranscriptomic modifications, including pseudouridylation, in oncogenesis. Given PNO1's emerging
role, it is imperative to delineate its contribution to cancer development to identify novel therapeutic interventions.
This review summarizes the current literature regarding the role of PNO1 in cancer progression and
its molecular underpinnings in oncogenesis. Overexpression of PNO1 was associated with unfavorable prognosis
and increased tumor malignancy. At the molecular level, PNO1 facilitates cancer progression by modulating
mRNA stability, alternative splicing, and translation efficiency. Its role in pseudouridylation of oncogenic
and tumor-suppressor transcripts further underscores its significance in cancer biology. Although disruption of
ribosome biogenesis is known to precipitate oncogenesis, the precise mechanisms by which these alterations
contribute to cancer remain unclear. This review elucidates the intricate process of ribosomal small subunit maturation,
highlighting the roles of crucial ribosomal proteins (RPs) and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) as well
as the positioning and function of NOB1 and PNO1 within the 40S subunit. The involvement of these components
in the maturation of the small subunit (SSU) and their significance in the context of cancer therapeutics
has been thoroughly explored. PNO1's burgeoning significance in oncology makes it a potential target for cancer
therapies. Strategies aimed at modulating PNO1-mediated pseudouridylation may provide new avenues for
cancer treatment. However, further research is essential to unravel the complete spectrum of PNO1 mechanisms
in cancer and harness this knowledge for the development of targeted and more efficacious anticancer
therapies.

:

Organo-modified carbon nanotubes have recently gained the interest of many research groups. The potential for applying a new generation of organo-modified carbon nanotubes in many technological fields reveals the importance of covalent modifications on nanotubes. In this study, using the microwave synthesis method, multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) thiophenol derivatives were obtained with a thioesterification reaction. For this purpose, MWCNT-COOH was obtained from MWCNT by oxidation, and MWCNT-COCl was synthesized from MWCNT-COOH. The MWCNT-CO-S- (ortho/meta/para-methyl/methoxy-phenyl) (MA1-MA6) compounds were synthesized through both microwave synthesis methods starting with MWCNT-COCl and Steglich ester reaction of MWCNT-COOH. Products were characterized using Fourier Transform- Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Transmission Electron Spectroscopy (TEM) methods. Furthermore, step numbers, reaction times, and temperatures of obtained molecules, MA1-MA6, were compared. Steglich esterification was found to be the most effective technique for creating these compounds. The photoluminescent characteristics of MWCNT, MWCNT-COOH, and MA1-MA6 compounds were examined. The intensity of the photoluminescence (PL) was found to vary with the location of the functional group. It was detected that the MA2 compound had the highest photoluminescence intensity (6.9x102 a.u.), while the MA1 compound had the secondhighest photoluminescence intensity (6.9x102 a.u.). MA1 and MA2 were radiated at low wavelengths of 475- 490 nm with high PL values. Possible transitions were n→π* transitions, with high PL values obtained because of the oxygen atom in the methoxy group. It is expected that these materials will find use in imaging devices operating at high temperatures, particularly because structures containing methoxy groups exhibit favourable photoluminescence properties.

Published: August 2024

:

An important sensation that warns of potential harm to a specific area of the body is
pain. The prevalence of pain-related conditions globally is a significant and growing public health
issue. Chronic pain affects an estimated 1.5 billion people worldwide, with prevalence rates varying
by region and demographic factors. Along with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer,
pain is among the most frequent medical diseases. Opioid analgesics are the mainstay of current
pain therapies, which are ineffective. Opioid addiction and its potentially fatal side effects necessitate
novel treatment strategies. Nanotechnology offers potential advantages in pain management
by enabling targeted drug delivery, which can enhance the efficacy and reduce the side effects of
analgesic medications. Additionally, nanoparticles can be designed to release drugs in a controlled
manner, improving pain relief duration and consistency. This approach also allows for the delivery
of therapeutics across biological barriers, potentially enhancing treatment outcomes for chronic
pain conditions. Nanomedicine enables sensitive and focused treatments with fewer side effects
than existing clinical pain medicines; it is worth exploring as a potential solution to these
problems. Furthermore, medication delivery systems that use nanomaterials are being used to treat
pain. Whether it's the distribution of a single medication or a combination of therapies, this review
seeks to summarise the ways in which drug delivery systems based on nanomaterials can be
utilised to successfully treat and alleviate pain. For the purpose of writing this paper, we consulted
several online libraries, including Pubmed, Science Direct, Pubmed Prime, and the Cochrane Library,
to gather fresh and up-to-date material. This overview delves into the ins and outs of pain's
pathophysiology, the present state of pain treatment, potential new pain treatment targets, and the
various initiatives that have been launched and are still in the works to address pain with nanotechnology.
Recent developments in nanomaterials-based scavenging, gene therapy for pain aetiology,
and nanoparticle-based medicine delivery for side effect reduction are highlighted. Analgesics
have been further covered in our discussion on FDA-approved pharmaceuticals and clinical advancements.

Authors: Prasad Anchita , Suravajhala Prashanth , Nigam Vinod Kumar
Published: August 2024

Background:

Hypothetical proteins (HPs) are those proteins whose functions are unknown;
therefore, the present study was carried out to predict similarity-based functionality of
HPs in selected bacteria Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and Neisseria meningitidis.

Methods:

Annotation-based approaches using Pfam, orthology, String, Bi-directional Best Blast
Hit, PSLpred, Subloc, Cello, homology modeling, and computational tools were used in evaluating
the functionality of HPs.

Results:

Thirty-one domains in both bacterial species were retrieved based on the E-value score
and compared with bacterial species already existing in databases. Statistical analysis was duly
done to check which features performed well

Conclusion:

Out of 31 HPs found in Streptomyces coleicolor strain A3(2), 14 domains were found
to be uncharacterized in their functionality, while 2 uncharacterized domains in the case of Neisseria
meningitidis were assigned a function on similarity-based approaches. The annotation of HPs
is a challenge in bacteria as these are based on the similarity of proteins in other species.

Post-surgical adhesion is a medical challenge, especially following abdominal and pelvic surgeries. This refers to the formation of fibrotic scars
that form from connective tissue in the gynecological tract or abdominal cavity. Dysfunctional Adipose Tissue (AT) by surgical injuries and
hypoxia increases the risk of post-surgical adhesion through different molecular mechanisms. Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs)
and Hypoxia-induced factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) produced during surgery trauma and hypoxia induce AT dysfunction to promote inflammation,
oxidative stress, metabolic alterations, and profibrotic pathways, which contribute to post-surgical adhesions. HIF-1α and DAMPs can be
considered therapeutic targets to prevent AT dysfunction and diminish the formation of adhesions in obese patients undergoing abdominal or
pelvic surgeries.

Published: August 2024

Solar thermal collectors are widely applied in various areas; one of them is solar water heating system. Inside the solar water heating system, there is a heat exchanger system located on thermal storage tank. It needs to develop the most efficient heat exchanger with some limited installation area. Helical coil heat exchanger is chosen as an alternative for saving the installation space by the coil helix geometry. The main difference between the helical heat exchanger and shell and tube heat exchanger is the geometry. This geometry causes differences in heat transfer process, as a result of the secondary flow in the fluid. This study analyzed the effect of the pipe diameter variance to heat transfer of helical coil heat exchanger, applied to solar water heating systems, performed by using three helical coils with pipe diameters variation, with an outer diameter of 6.4; 4.9; 2.95 mm. The heat transfer performance was analyzed by dimensionless number relationship with Wilson Plot technique. The experiment showed that, the performance of helical coil heat exchanger is better at bigger diameter. Forced convection inside the pipe obeyed Nui=ci.Re^0.7 with various  ci  number. The values of  ci  are bigger at bigger pipe diameter and higher hot water temperature.

O Conselho Estadual de Educação do Paraná instituiu as Diretrizes Curriculares Complementares e o Referencial Curricular do Novo Ensino Médio por meio da Indicação n.º 04/2021, e criou o componente curricular Educação Financeira, a partir da Matemática. Entretanto, tais ações não contemplam toda a abrangência da temática, tampouco exploram questões mais específicas sobre finanças, seu caráter crítico e interdisciplinar. O presente artigo explora trabalhos recentes publicados em periódicos nacionais, com o intuito de incitar reflexões acerca de avanços e limitações da Indicação CEE/PR n.º 04/2021. Como resultados, verificou-se pouca preocupação com a matemática crítica, bem como com conceitos fundamentais para a compreensão das teorias e aplicações em finanças, largamente exploradas nas áreas de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas.

ABSTRACT
The Conselho Estadual de Educação do Paraná instituted the Complementary Curriculum Guidelines and the Curriculum Reference for New Secondary Education through Indication No. 04/2021, and created the Financial Education curricular component, based on Mathematics. However, such actions do not contemplate the entire scope of the theme, nor do they explore more specific questions about finance, its critical and interdisciplinary nature. This article explores recent works published in national journals, with the aim of inciting reflections on the advances and limitations of Indication CEE/PR n.º 04/2021. As results, there was little concern with critical mathematics, as well as with fundamental concepts for understanding theories and applications in finance, largely explored in the areas of Applied Social Sciences.
Keywords: financial education; new high school guidelines; CEE/PR indication No. 04/2021.

THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES AS PROMOTION STRATEGIES FOR MADEIRA’S MUSEUMS
Authors: Margarida Farias Coelho Patrícia , Pereira Correia Pedro A. , Pereira Carvalho Andrea Nicole , Garcia-Medina Irene
Published: August 2024

This paper emphasizes the importance of adopting strategies to attract and retain audiences within cultural organizations, more precisely in museums. Gradually, cultural institutions evolved from product-driven to consumer-driven organisations, seeking to attract and serve different groups with appropriate offers. In this sense, museums turn to marketing to expand their audiences, as well as to create and maintain long-lasting relationships. In order to identify the strategies that are put into practice in Madeira’s museums, a sample of local museums was selected. Afterwards, open-ended questionnaires were created for later interviews with directors and visitors of these museums. The results show that educational services play a key role in attracting and managing the relationship with the local community, mainly with the school audiences. However, there is a weak promotion of the offer within the tourist audiences.
Epistemologia e pesquisa em educação a distância: algumas considerações e questionamentos
Authors: Lopes Luís Fernando , Sopchaki Carlos Henrique
Published: August 2024

RESUMO Este artigo tem como escopo analisar pesquisas que têm como objeto a Educação a Distância (EaD) enfatizando o aspecto epistemológico. A educação, antes de ser adjetivada por qualquer modalidade ou outra característica específica, é educação, aqui considerada como um processo histórico-social de criação do ser humano pela sociedade e para a sociedade e, ao mesmo tempo, de transformação da sociedade pelo ser humano em benefício de si mesmo. É nesta perspectiva que caminha a análise do texto, procurando demonstrar que a ausência de uma base epistemológica, ou seja, a falta de uma teoria do conhecimento científico em um trabalho de pesquisa conduz ao descrédito e à falta de sentido. A pesquisa em educação a distância não pode negligenciar essa constatação sob pena de tornar-se ingênua e inadequada, incapaz de tratar com eficácia do seu objeto. No seu desfecho, o texto traz algumas reflexões e questionamentos acerca da utilização da EaD na formação continuada de professores. Palavras-chave: Pesquisa. Educação a distância. Epistemologia. ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze research that has as its object the Distance Education with an emphasis on the epistemological aspect. Education, before being an adjective by any means or another specific characteristic, is education, here regarded as a socio-historical process of creation of man by and to society. At the same time, it is a social transformation issue by humans so that it can benefit them. Under this perspective the text analysis will be developed. It seeks to demonstrate that the absence of an epistemological basis, that is, the lack of a theory grounded on scientific knowledge in a research leads to discredit and the absence of direction. Research in distance education cannot neglect this statement under penalty of becoming ingenious and inadequate, unable to deal effectively with its subject. In its conclusion, the text presents some reflections and questions about the use of distance education in the continuing teacher training. Key words: Research. Distance education. Epistemology.
Temporalidades plebeyas. La construcción de lo político en el gaitanismo
Authors: Morera Aparicio Esteban
Published: August 2024

En el presente artículo presentaré los fundamentos de un modelo metodológico que posibilita el estudio de la comunicación política de los sectores populares a través del análisis de las temporalidades. Partiendo de la base de que lo político se encuentra invariablemente atravesado por la articulación de diferentes temporalidades, me propongo indagar cómo los sectores populares colombianos de la década de 1940 se movilizaron en el marco del gaitanismo a través de la forma como leían y escribían lo político. Poniendo en relieve diferentes subjetividades que se articulan dentro de las luchas populares y revelando la heterogeneidad de lo político, hago un análisis de la correspondencia del líder político Jorge Eliécer Gaitán. Tomando como punto de partida la carta de Maruja Zapata, una mujer que luchaba por el acceso a la educación de su hija “natural”, mostraré como el análisis de las temporalidades de los lenguajes políticos, sustenta una propuesta epistémica que permite ver las formas en que los actores sociales construyeron su cosmovisión de lo político, así como los diferentes caminos que se ingeniaron para construir su participación democrática más allá de los marcos institucionales y de las agendas de los líderes políticos.

Published: August 2024

The development of technology and information makes it possible to disseminate information in a matter of seconds, thereby changing the government's mindset in providing public services so that it can meet the needs of the community efficiently. Banten Province, especially Serang City as the capital, has launched the RAGEM Application as a form of e-Government based public service. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of the RAGEM application managed by the Information and Communication Office (Diskominfo) of Serang City as a form of e-government-based public service. The research problems formulated in this study are: (1) How is the public's knowledge of the RAGEM application? (2) What is the effectiveness of the RAGEM application as a form of public service in the context of e-government in Serang City? (3) What is the Evaluation and Strategy of Diskominfo Serang City in developing the RAGEM application? This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive design. The subjects of this study are the staff of the e-government field of Diskominfo Serang City and the citizens of Serang City who use services at Diskomnfo Serang City. The data analysis technique involves data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The results of this research indicate that the RAGEM application as an e-government-based public service is effective, as seen from the indicators of goal achievement, integration, and adaptation that have been running well. However, there are aspects that need improvement, as observed from the limited knowledge of Serang City residents regarding the RAGEM application. In response to this, Diskominfo Serang City has conducted internal evaluation, particularly in terms of service integration from various government agencies and the enhancement of application features, as well as a strategy for equalizing socialization to ensure information reaches all layers of Serang City society.
Strategi Meningkatkan Akuntabilitas dan Transparansi Pengelolaan Kas Badan Layanan Umum

Pertumbuhan jumlah BLU menunjukkan trend meningkat hingga awal 2022. Seiring dengan peningkatan jumlah tersebut, kontribusi BLU atas penerimaan negara bukan pajak (PNBP) juga menunjukkan grafik yang menanjak positif. Hampir setiap tahun penerimaan negara dari BLU terus mengalami peningkatan. Namun pencatatan pendapatan ini ke kas negara dilakukan hanya setiap tiga bulan sekali, sehingga Menkeu sebagai BUN tidak bisa mengetahui secara real time. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: menilai transparansi pengelolaan keuangan BLU, memberikan usulan alternatif pengelolaan rekening BLU, dan mengembangkan hasil penelitian yang sudah ada sebelumnya. Peneliti mendalami obyek penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan lebih fokus ke arah analisis kebijakan. Dalam penelitian kebijakan yang diteliti adalah kebijakan yang sedang diimplementasikan. Obyek peneltian adalah empat satker BLU yang berada di Jambi. Langkah-langkah dalam penelitian ini diantaranya adalah melakukan identifikasi terhadap isu-isu utama, kemudian merusmuskan masalah, dilanjutkan dengan menyusun rencana aksi terhadap pengimplementasian kebijakan dan yang terakhir adalah melakukan monitoring dan evaluasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan ada selisih antara data di SPAN dan laporan satker. Satker melakukan pelaporannya tiga bulan sekali sehingga kesalahan tersebut baru diketahui setelah dilakukan pengesahan SP3B. Delay pelaporan menimbulkan masalah jika ada kesalahan pencatatan. Perbaikan harus dilakukan dengan mekanisme yang cukup rumit dan akan membutuhkan daya dan upaya cukup besar. Untuk mengatasi kondisi yang terjadi saat ini, perlu adanya penyempurnaan kebijakan agar pendapatan yang dikelola BLU dapat dimonitor kapan saja oleh BUN. Rekomendasi dari penelitian ini adalah memasukkan semua rekening BLU dalam sistem Treasury Single Account (TSA).
