Systematic Review of Green Building Trends in South Korea from 2001 to 2023 Using Research Topic Words
Authors: Ren Weicheng , Kim Kyunghwan
Published: February 2024

In 2020, South Korea implemented the Green New Deal, and in 2022, it officially proposed the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. To effectively promote the development of green buildings in South Korea, it is crucial to analyze their evolutionary trends and processes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to summarize and predict the development trajectory of green buildings in South Korea by studying the research and development trends in this field. Accordingly, this study used content analysis as a research method to analyze 89 research papers and their subject words published from 2001 to 2023. Further in-depth analysis was conducted on five sub-dimensions: technical, economic, legal, systemic, and the popularization and development of green buildings. Since 2000, research has mainly focused on the improvement and development of evaluation index systems and the exploration of energy-saving technologies. In terms of the research and development of green building materials, there is a problem of slow development. In terms of green building management, there is a lack of specific management methods or systematic research. Economic aspects should be studied from the consumers’ perspective. Hence, opportunities and challenges coexist and require joint efforts from the government, academia, enterprises, and other parties.
Multicriteria Analysis of Cement Mortar with Recycled Sand
Authors: Kępniak Maja , Łukowski Paweł
Published: February 2024

Sustainable development requires a holistic perspective that integrates the different aspects of production and consumption and promotes the transition to a circular economy. This approach aims to balance the needs of the present and future generations, as well as the social, environmental, and economic dimensions of development. By producing products that are durable, recyclable, and reusable, and by minimizing the use of energy and materials, the environmental impact of production can be reduced while also generating economic benefits and enhancing social well-being. The article addresses the multicriteria sustainability of producing mortar modified with sand from recycled concrete rubble. The research explored the possibility of replacing natural sand with recycled sand in proportions from 10% to 100%. The consistency of mixtures, flexural and compressive strengths after 2, 28, and 90 days, as well as the carbon footprint and cost of the aggregate used were analyzed. The waste management index and sustainable use of natural resources were also considered. The research and analysis showed that recycled sand could be successfully used as an alternative for natural aggregate, as there are clear environmental and economic advantages, and the basic technical characteristics do not differ significantly statistically from the unmodified composite.
Impact of Engagement in Campus Sustainability Activities to Competency Development: Change Agents’ Experiences and Perspectives
Authors: Muhamad Noor Muhamad Faisal , Mamat Mohd Zufri , Mohamad Zeeda Fatimah
Published: February 2024

Universities today have increasingly introduced and integrated sustainability elements into their curriculum to nurture students into potential future leaders for sustainability. Although various types of pedagogies have been introduced for the development of sustainability competencies in students, not many studies have investigated engagement in campus sustainability activities as a pedagogical tool. In that respect, this paper attempts to bridge the gap by investigating the potential of engagement as a pedagogical tool and how it can help in developing sustainability competencies in students. The investigation was conducted at three local universities in Malaysia, where purposive sampling was employed for the selection of data. This sampling technique is capable of carefully selecting respondents that are relevant to this investigation given the number of students involved in campus sustainability activities is small in comparison to the total student population. In-depth interviews were conducted with 21 students who have been identified from the purposive sampling and considered as the most active and proactive volunteers in their respective campus sustainability activities. Respondents shared their experiences where ‘interpersonal competency’ was emphasised as the most developed and essential competency for them throughout their engagement. Another interesting finding is the importance of ‘passion’. Having a strong sense of enthusiasm for sustainability not only serves as a push factor that drives these students to put their efforts into achieving the objectives of the campus sustainability activities they are involved in but also acts as an important catalyst to the development of sustainability competencies as a whole.
The Impact of Cultural Capital on Economic Growth Based on Green Low-Carbon Endogenous Economic Growth Model
Authors: Wan Bingyue
Published: February 2024

This paper incorporates cultural capital, urbanization development level and carbon emission reduction input as endogenous factors into the endogenous economic growth model. By using optimal control theory and based on empirical analysis, this paper explores the relationship between cultural capital and green low-carbon endogenous economic growth. This paper finds that at the company level, cultural capital improves the technical efficiency and institutional efficiency of firms and then promotes economic growth. At the government level, cultural capital and government investment in urban fixed cultural assets promotes economic growth. At the resident level, the transformation of cultural capital into environmental protection awareness promotes firms and residents to independently practice green low-carbon behaviors. Firms can independently research and develop green low-carbon digital science and technology and produce green low-carbon digital goods, and residents can engage in green digital consumption, thereby reducing carbon emissions and carbon emission input and promoting economic growth. This paper explores the role of cultural capital in firms’ R&D, then promotes green low-carbon transformation of firms by exploring the role of cultural capital in government investment, promoting the government to increase investment in green low-carbon cultural education, exploring the impact of cultural capital on the thinking and behavior of firms and residents, and promoting the independent practice of green low-carbon behavior by firms and residents, ultimately promoting the development of a green low-carbon economy.
Turopolje Pig: Between Conservation and Sustainability
Authors: Škorput Dubravko , Kaić Ana , Špehar Marija , Karolyi Danijel , Luković Zoran
Published: February 2024

The Turopolje pig is a fatty-type pig breed created during the Middle Ages in the Turopolje region in Central Croatia. Although the population of the Turopolje pig is stable today, this breed is still one of the endangered breeds that are severely threatened by inbreeding. The aim of this work was to evaluate the genetic diversity parameters of the recent Turopolje pig population in Croatia and to consider mating strategies to limit the increase in inbreeding in the population using algorithms within an optimal contribution selection frame. The pedigree of 1155 individuals was analysed. In addition to the basic pedigree structure, the following population parameters were analysed: average coefficient of inbreeding; mean rate of increase in coancestry; increase in coancestry between any individuals; effective population size. Based on obtained parameters, mating optimization using estimated kinship between candidates in several scenarios was carried out, restricting maximal kinship between candidates on a minimal possible value 0.07, as the least possible level of kinship, candidates on a value of 0.10, and candidates on a value of 0.25. The average inbreeding coefficient (F) in the population was 0.03, while the average F of inbred animals was 0.10. The effective population size obtained from pedigrees based on the increase in coancestry (0.17) was 29.14. Mating plans were created from 5 active boars and 120 sows in different scenarios with constraint on the level of kinship between candidates. The least possible level of kinship was 0.07, and no available solutions were under this level. With the increase in the allowed kinship between candidates, the level of inbreeding increased from 0.01 to 0.06 in the next generation. Under practical conditions, mating between ideal individuals in local pig populations is not always possible, and the use of optimisation algorithms allows alternative mating within existing populations to be considered. Finally, this approach opens up the possibility of potentially improving sustainable breeding through selection by considering breeding values for economically important traits. This approach can help to differentiate the Turopolje pig breed from other commercial and local breeds, e.g., for meat quality traits.

Published: February 2024

In this paper, we first introduce the notion of generalized Reynolds operators on Hom-Lie triple systems associated to a representation and a 3-cocycle. Then, we develop a cohomology of generalized Reynolds operators on Hom-Lie triple systems. As applications, we use the first cohomology group to classify linear deformations and we study the obstruction class of an extendable order n deformation. Finally, we introduce and investigate Hom-NS-Lie triple system as the underlying structure of generalized Reynolds operators on Hom-Lie triple systems.

Published: February 2024

The 2022–2023 Mpox multi-country outbreak, identified in over 110 WHO Member States, revealed a predominant impact on cisgender men, particularly those engaging in sex with men, while less frequently affecting women. This disparity prompted a focused investigation into the gender-specific characteristics of Mpox infections, particularly among women, to address a notable knowledge gap. This review systematically gathers and analyzes the scientific literature and case reports concerning Mpox infections in women, covering a broad geographical spectrum including regions such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Nigeria, Europe, Vietnam, and the United States. The analysis delves into various aspects of Mpox in women, including clinical features, epidemiology, psychological impacts, preparedness strategies, and case studies, with particular attention to pregnant women and those with underlying health conditions. Empirical data from multiple studies underscore the unique epidemiological and clinical patterns of Mpox in women. In the United States, a small percentage of Mpox cases were reported among cisgender women, with a notable portion involving non-Hispanic Black or African American, non-Hispanic White, and Hispanic or Latino ethnicities. The primary transmission route was identified as sexual or close intimate contact, with the virus predominantly manifesting on the legs, arms, and genital areas. Further, a study in Spain highlighted significant disparities in diagnosis delays, transmission modes, and clinical manifestations between genders, indicating a different risk profile and disease progression in women. Additionally, a case from Vietnam, linked to a new Mpox sub-lineage in women, emphasized the role of women in the transmission dynamics and the importance of genomic monitoring. This review emphasizes the necessity for inclusive surveillance and research to fully understand Mpox dynamics across diverse population groups, including women. Highlighting gender and sexual orientation in public health responses is crucial for an effective approach to managing the spread and impact of this disease. The findings advocate for a gender-diverse assessment in health services and further research to explore the nuances of Mpox transmission, behavior, and progression among different groups, thereby enhancing the global response to Mpox and similar public health challenges.
Evolutionary Events Promoted Polymerase Activity of H13N8 Avian Influenza Virus

Published: February 2024

Wild birds are considered to be the natural reservoir hosts of avian influenza viruses (AIVs). Wild bird-origin AIVs may spill over into new hosts and overcome species barriers after evolutionary adaptation. H13N8 AIVs used to be considered primarily circulated in multispecies gulls but have recently been shown to possess cross-species infectivity. In this study, we analyzed the genetic changes that occurred in the process of the evolution of H13 AIVs. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that H13 AIVs underwent complex reassortment events. Based on the full genomic diversity, we divided H13 AIVs into 81 genotypes. Reassortment experiments indicated that basic polymerase 2 (PB2) and nucleoprotein (NP) genes of the H9N2 AIV significantly enhanced the polymerase activity of the H13N8 AIV. Using the replication-incompetent virus screening system, we identified two mutations, PB2-I76T and PB2-I559T, which could enhance the polymerase activity of the H13N8 AIV in mammalian cells. Notably, these mutations had been acquired by circulating H13N8 AIVs in 2015. These findings suggest that H13N8 AIVs are about to cross the host barrier. Occasional genetic reassortments with other AIVs and natural mutation events could promote this process. It is imperative to intensify monitoring efforts for H13N8 AIVs.
A Comparative Evaluation of eDNA Metabarcoding Primers in Fish Community Monitoring in the East Lake

Published: February 2024

East Lake in Wuhan, China, harbors a high number of freshwater fish species of great conservation value, concurrently serving as vital resources for local livelihoods. However, the ecosystem is threatened by an array of anthropogenic activities, thus requiring consistent monitoring of the local fish community to enable more efficacious conservation management. In place of conventional surveying methods, we undertook the first analysis of the fish distribution within East Lake via metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA). The accuracy and efficacy of eDNA metabarcoding rely heavily upon selecting an appropriate primer set for PCR amplification. Given the varying environmental conditions and taxonomic diversity across distinct study systems, it remains a challenge to propose an optimal genetic marker for universal use. Thus, it becomes necessary to select PCR primers suitable for the composition of fish in the East Lake. Here, we evaluated the performance of two primer sets, Mifish-U and Metafish, designed to amplify 12S rRNA barcoding genes in fishes. Our results detected a total of 116 taxonomic units and 51 fish species, with beta diversity analysis indicating significant differences in community structure diversity between the six sampling locations encompassing East Lake. While it was difficult to accurately compare the species-level discriminatory power and amplification bias of the two primers, Mifish outperformed Metafish in terms of taxonomic specificity for fish taxa and reproducibility. These findings will assist with primer selection for eDNA-based fish monitoring and biodiversity conservation in the East Lake and other freshwater ecosystems.

Authors: Zhang Hao , Li Rongxin , Shi Yue , Pan Fuxia
Published: February 2024

Nitrogen pollution of surface water is still a critical issue worldwide. In this study, a total of four treatments were conducted in horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands (HSSFCWs) to explore the removal rate of nitrogen in the carbon-deficient wastewater, including combination of aeration and external carbon source (CW_CA), external carbon source (CW_C), aeration (CW_A), and control group without aeration and carbon source (CW_CK). Results showed that the removal rates of total nitrogen (TN) in the enhanced treatments were increased compared with CW_CK. The highest removal rates of COD (66.56%), NH4+-N (73.51%), NO3−-N (79.31%), and TN (76.19%) were observed in the CW_CA treatment. The bacterial community structure at the fore and rear ends of HSSFCWs was simultaneously changed in the CW_CA and CW_C treatments, respectively. The highest richness index at both the fore and rear ends of HSSFCWs was found in the CW_CA treatment. The richness and diversity indices of CW_C declined at the fore ends of HSSFCWs, but increased at the rear ends of HSSFCWs. Furthermore, the functional bacteria and genes significantly changed among different treatments. At the fore ends of HSSFCWs, the highest relative abundance of nitrifiers and absolute abundance of amoA and nxrA were obtained in CW_A, and the highest relative abundance of denitrifying bacteria and absolute abundance of nirS, nirK, nosZ were found in CW_C. However, at the rear ends of HSSFCWs, the highest relative abundance of nitrifiers and denitrifying bacteria as well as the absolute abundance of related genes were also observed in the CW_CA treatment. Overall, CW_CA improved the nitrogen removal rate by increasing the abundance of nitrogen-converting functional microbes and the genes associated with nitrification and denitrification.
Numerical Simulation and Application of Radial Steel Gate Structure Based on Building Information Modeling under Different Opening Degrees
Authors: Sun Shaonan , Zhang Ruijie , Liu Xiaojie , Liu Chunlu , Wang Ailing
Published: February 2024

The safe and stable operation of the radial gate is highly essential for hydropower stations. As the dynamic load of gate, water flow generally causes the irregular distribution of strength, stiffness, and the stability of the gate structure. Traditional simulation technology is usually used to investigate the impact of water flow on gate structure; however, there is a lack of integration and interaction of building information modeling (BIM) and numerical simulation technology to study this issue. Therefore, this paper proposed a computational framework combing BIM and numerical simulation to calculate and analyze the large complex hydraulic radial steel structure. Firstly, the 3D model of the radial gate was established by MicroStation2020, then, the finite element model was output by using it. Secondly, the change laws of strength, stiffness, and stability of the radial gate were analyzed by Ansys-Workbench2020R2 under different opening degrees. The numerical simulation results show that the maximum equivalent stress value was 142.19 MPa, which occurred at the joint between the lower longitudinal beam and the door blade. The maximum deformation was 3.446 mm, which occurred at two longitudinal beams’ middle in the lower part of the panel. When the opening degree is 0.0 m–9.0 m, the natural vibration frequency increases irregularly with the increase in the opening of the gate. Three main vibration modes of the gate vibration were obtained. It proves that it is feasible to analyze the structural performance of radial gates by using BIM and numerical simulation. Finally, the BIM and numerical simulation information management process was established to make the simulation results more valuable. This study expands the application value of BIM and provides a new research idea for large complex hydraulic steel structural analysis. The information management process described in this research can serve as a guide for gate operation and maintenance management.
Bridging the Cyber–Physical Divide: A Novel Approach for Quantifying and Visualising the Cyber Risk of Physical Assets
Authors: Keenan Cael , Maier Holger R. , van Delden Hedwig , Zecchin Aaron C.
Published: February 2024

Critical infrastructures and their physical assets are under increasing threat of cyber-attacks as technological integration creates cyber–physical systems (CPSs). This has led to an urgent need to better understand which physical assets in these systems are most at risk, but this requires crossing the divide between cyber and physical risk assessments. However, existing cyber-security methods generally focus solely on the vulnerabilities and security of the cyber network and efforts to quantify the impacts of these cyber vulnerabilities on physical assets are generally limited to the consideration of individual attacks, rather than system-wide risk assessments. Similarly, risk assessments of physical infrastructure systems generally ignore potential impacts due to cyber-attacks. To overcome this cyber–physical divide in risk assessment, we introduce a novel approach for assessing risk across this divide. The proposed approach assesses the cyber risk of physical assets as a function of the vulnerabilities of their connected cyber components, and the contribution of cyber components to this risk. The approach is demonstrated with a case study of the C-Town water distribution system. The results indicate that the approach shows a modified prioritisation of risk compared to that obtained using conventional cyber or physical assessments, highlighting the importance of considering the connection between cyber and physical components in risk assessments of critical infrastructure and their physical assets.
Simulation of Diurnal Evolution of Evaporation Zone during Soil Drying after Rainfall
Authors: Han Jiangbo , Han Hongtao , Lin Jin , Zhang Lu
Published: February 2024

To better understand processes involved in the evaporative drying of the soil, simulations on the dynamics of the evaporation zone, condensation zone, and dry surface layer (DSL) were conducted during a 10-day drying event under diurnal atmospheric conditions. Simulated water contents and soil temperatures matched well with the measured data in the lysimeter. Surface evaporation predominantly occurred during the early period each day, while subsurface evaporation dominated during the remaining part of the day. The evaporation zone presented a distinctly diurnal pattern, moving toward the deeper soil layer during the daytime and back toward the soil surface during the nighttime. The DSL and condensation zone, located immediately above and below the evaporation zone, respectively, also presented diurnal patterns following those of the evaporation zone. As soil drying progressed, both the position of the evaporation zone within the profile and the DSL width exhibited an overall increasing trend, reaching about 4.9 mm by the end of the study period. The occurrence of condensation zones was limited to the daytime when there was a downward surface temperature gradient present. Diurnal patterns observed in both evaporation zones and DSL could potentially be determined by quantifying changes in the near-surface profile’s soil water content, relative humidity, pressure head, and vapor density.

Authors: Soudachanh Souphaphone , Campitelli Alessio , Salhofer Stefan
Published: February 2024

One of the largest issues facing countries, particularly emerging nations with high population, production, and consumption growth, is an inadequate waste management system (WMS). This paper analyzes the development of the waste management systems of nine capital cities in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region by using a recently developed approach, the Waste Management System–Development Stage Concept. This concept comprises five development stages and various components, including Collection and Transport, Waste Disposal, Energy Recovery, Waste Recycling, and Waste Prevention and Reuse. The findings indicate that in terms of waste collection, waste disposal, and energy recovery, Singapore is at a higher development stage (Stage 5) and is more advanced than other ASEAN cities. For most of the components, Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and Manila fall into stages 2 to 4, whereas the early development stages 1 to 3 are present in Bandar Seri Begawan, Hanoi, Phnom Penh, and Vientiane. The results will be used to determine the next steps in developing the WMSs, including the introduction of separate collection for recycling or the installation of a waste-to-energy plant. The environmental impact of each measure will be later assessed using the LCA approach, and the most effective measures shall be identified in future studies.
Recent Advances in Preparation and Supercapacitor Applications of Lignin-Derived Porous Carbon: A Review
Authors: Park Hae Woong , Ahn Hyo-Jun , Roh Kwang Chul
Published: February 2024

Lignin-derived porous carbon has been identified as a versatile electrode material for supercapacitors (SCs) in energy storage systems (ESSs) owing to their intrinsic advantages including good electrical conductivity, low cost, high thermal and chemical stability, and high porosity, which stem from high surface, appropriate pore distribution, tailored morphologies, heterostructures, and diverse derivates. In this review, to provide a fundamental understanding of the properties of lignin, we first summarize the origin, historical development, and basic physicochemical properties. Next, we describe essential strategies for the preparation of lignin-derived porous carbon electrode materials and then highlight the latest advances in the utilization of lignin-derived porous carbon materials as advanced electrode materials. Finally, we provide some of our own insights into the major challenges and prospective research directions of lignin-derived porous carbon materials for supercapacitors. We believe that this review will provide general guidance for the design of next-generation electrode materials for supercapacitors.

Thétis et Achille à Apollonia d’Illyrie
Authors: Cabanes Pierre
Published: February 2024

Le dégagement de deux bases de statues portant dédicace à Thétis et Achille, hors de la ville d’Apollonia d’Illyrie, témoigne, pour la première fois, d’un culte rendu au héros achéen et à sa mère dans la cité qui a choisi Apollon, le protecteur des Troyens, comme fondateur. Datant de la seconde moitié du IVe s. av. J.-C. ou du début du IIIe s., elles marquent l’existence hors les murs d’un culte rendu à Thétis et à Achille et posent question sur la vie religieuse de la cité, sur les liens tissés par elle avec la tradition troyenne connue plus au Sud et peut correspondre à une résurgence de traditions coloniales anciennes marquées par les rivalités entre Eubéens et Corinthiens. Elle traduit aussi l’acceptation d’une double origine achéenne et troyenne.
Dark Age Aeolian colonists : evidence for ancestral relations with their colonial territories
Authors: Demir Muzaffer
Published: February 2024

Les chefs des colonisateurs éoliens de l’Âge des Ténèbres et ceux qui les soutenaient préferaient établir des colonies à Lesbos, en Éole du sud, à Mysia et Troade et ce, environ quatre-vingt ans après la guerre troyenne et sur une longue période. Cet article tente de mettre en avant le fait que les colonisateurs Éoliens de l’Âge des Ténèbres semblent avoir recoloniser les territories de leurs ancêtres. Une des raisons de leur choix d’installation dans ces territoires a pu être la possibilité de revendications légitimes et ancestrales sur ces territories nouvellement colonises fondées sur des liens généalogiques et de participation plus ancienne dans la vie politique datant du dernier quart du quatorzième siècle avant J.C.
Les flèches d’Éphyre
Authors: Eck Bernard
Published: February 2024

Deux passages de V Odyssée (1, 255-266 ; II, 325-330) suggèrent l’usage, à l’époque archaïque, du poison à des fins homicides, dans des circonstances exceptionnelles et privées. Le poison, venu d’Éphyre, une localité mal connue, aurait enduit les flèches d’Ulysse. Il est difficile de préciser la nature de ce pharmakon ; il est conçu dans une pensée magique et il appartient au règne végétal, comme tous les pharmaka homériques. La pratique des flèches empoisonnées est universelle et atemporelle. Certains commentaires, qui tentent sous divers prétextes de déclasser le texte homérique, sont à réviser. Les scholies à Homère sont, en revanche, d’un grand intérêt. Une telle utilisation du poison est probablement un acte l'hybris.
Vertus iréniques et civilisatrices du chant sur le chant. «L’association poétique des citharèdes légendaires (Amphion, Arion et Orphée) chez Horace et Silius Italicus»
Authors: Jourdan Fabienne
Published: February 2024

Dans la littérature ancienne, la fréquente réunion d’Orphée, Amphion et Arion vise à exalter la puissance de la musique vocale, conçue comme reflet de la poésie elle-même. Horace insiste sur l’œuvre civilisatrice des deux premiers. Silius Italicus loue l’apaisement cosmique produit par le chant de chacun des trois. L’analyse de leurs vers montre que le poète qui rappelle les bienfaits des chantres mythiques aspire toujours à se voir doté d’un pouvoir semblable à celui qu’il décrit. Cette commune évocation est conçue comme une mise en abyme du chant et de ses vertus. Au IIe siècle ap. J.-C., Clément d’Alexandrie proposera semblable développement de la légende avant de la transposer dans la sphère chrétienne pour chanter cette fois la puissance du chant nouveau.

Temples affrontés d’époque romaine : origine et avatars d ’un modèle architectural
Authors: Bouet Alain , Saragoza Florence
Published: February 2024

The appearance of the Imperial cult did not lead to architectural modifications in the religious field however the Flavian works were to break this continuity. The building of the Porticus Divorum on the Field of Mars follows a innovative plan set around two temples facing each other and dedicated to Vespasian and Titus, the representatives of the dynasty. This architectural model is then revived under Trajan who was the first to adapt the eponymous forum to the celebration of the imperial couple. Being particularly in favor during Hadrian’s reign, the model moves from the Imperial sphere outside the Urbs and into the religious and civilian sector.

Induction of p16Ink4a Gene Expression in Heme Protein–Induced AKI and by Heme: Pathophysiologic Implications
Authors: Nath Karl A. , Singh Raman Deep , Croatt Anthony J. , Ackerman Allan W. , Grande Joseph P. , O'Brien Daniel R. , Garovic Vesna D. , Adams Christopher M. , Tchkonia Tamara , Kirkland James L.
Published: February 2024

Key Points

In heme protein–mediated AKI (HP-AKI), a senescence phenotype promptly occurs, and increased expression of p16Ink4a contributes to HP-AKI.

Renal p16Ink4a expression is induced by hemoglobin, myoglobin, and heme in vivo and in renal epithelial cells exposed to heme in vitro.

Impairing the binding or degradation of heme by hemopexin deficiency or heme oxygenase-1 deficiency, respectively, further upregulates p16Ink4a.

Background

Understanding the pathogenetic basis for AKI involves the study of ischemic and nephrotoxic models of AKI, the latter including heme protein–mediated AKI (HP-AKI). Recently, interest has grown regarding the role of senescence as a mechanism of kidney injury, including AKI. We examined whether senescence occurs in HP-AKI and potential inducers of and the role of a key driver of senescence, namely, p16Ink4a, in HP-AKI.

Methods

The long-established murine glycerol model of HP-AKI was used, and indices of senescence were examined. To evaluate the interaction of heme and p16Ink4a expression, murine models of genetic deficiency of hemopexin (HPX) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) were used. To determine the involvement of p16Ink4a in HP-AKI, the population of p16Ink4a-expressing cells was reduced using the INK-ATTAC model.

Results

Using multiple indices, a senescence phenotype appears in the kidney within hours after the induction of HP-AKI. This phenotype includes significant upregulation of p16Ink4a. p16Ink4a is upregulated in the kidney after the individual administration of myoglobin, hemoglobin, and heme, as well as in renal epithelial cells exposed to heme in vitro. Genetic deficiencies of HPX and HO-1, which, independently, are expected to increase heme content in the kidney, exaggerate induction of p16Ink4a in the kidney and exacerbate HP-AKI, the latter shown in the present studies involving HPX

−/−
mice and in previous studies involving HO-1

−/−
mice. Finally, reduction in the population of p16Ink4a-expressing cells in the kidney improves renal function in HP-AKI even within 24 hours.

Conclusions

The pathogenesis of HP-AKI involves senescence and the induction of p16Ink4a, the latter driven, in part, by hemoglobin, myoglobin, and heme.
Is it possible to implement the idea of zero waste in waste management in Poznań?
Authors: Lewandowski Piotr
Published: February 2024

The aim of the study was to find out the awareness and readiness of Poznań residents to implement the Zero Waste (ZW) idea in the city. Residents' knowledge of the hazards of municipal waste generation and their familiarity with and degree of adherence to ZW principles were investigated. The research was carried out through a questionnaire survey. The article is a form of answering whether the inhabitants of a large city in Poland are ready to implement the ZW idea. The research presents the level of preparation (readiness) of the inhabitants of Poznań and the conditions enabling the implementation of ZW in the city. The results were statistically analysed.

In this paper, systems of linear equations on sparse matrices investigated through modified improve method using Gauss-Seidel and successive overrelaxation (SOR) approach. Taking into adapted convergence rate on the Improve refinement Gauss-seidel outperformed the prior two Gauss-Seidel methods in terms of rate of convergence and number of iterations required to solve the problem by applying a modified version of the Gauss-Seidel approach. to observe the effectiveness of this method, the numerical example is given. The main findings in this study, that Gauss seidel improvement refinement gives optimum spectral radius and convergence rate. Similarly, the SOR improved refinement method gives. Considering their performance, using parameters such as time to converge, number of iterations required to converge and spectral radius level of accuracy. However, SOR works with relaxation values so that it greatly affects the convergence rate and spectral radius results if given greater than 1.

This research aims to determine the role of library managers or teachers at State Middle School (SMP) 4 in Manado City in utilizing library collections to support student learning activities. The model used in this research employs a descriptive qualitative method that can provide a detailed depiction of the actual conditions. The SMPN 4 Manado library has its own room with a collection of fiction and books according to the Merdeka Curriculum. The existing collection of books is not well arranged on bookshelves and is only arranged on tables, some are stacked on the floor. Another condition where users get hot quickly is because the room does not have a fan or AC. Existing deficiencies can be improved for the better, because the library management is committed to improving the library at SMP Negeri 4 Manado, but is hampered by support from the previous school principal. It was only then that the new principal had the intention to make the library better. The arrival of the research team also strengthened the principal's commitment to organizing the library.

The aim of this research is to determine the dynamics of community participation in out-of-school education in the case of the Mandhala Senom Education Village by trying to capture the extent of community awareness to educate their children. Apart from that, it will examine the extent of Mandhala Senom's contribution to awareness of children's education. The qualitative method is used through a descriptive approach as a basis for describing and analyzing community participation using theory according to Theresia (2018) which consists of four indicators, namely participation in decision making, participation in implementing activities, participation in enjoying the results, participation in evaluation. Furthermore, the problem of community participation in the development of out-of-school education was identified by conducting in-depth interviews with Mandhala Senom Volunteers and the surrounding community, especially in East Barurambat. Based on the results of the research and discussion, it can be concluded that community participation is going well.

Published: February 2024

IT Infrastructure is one of the core components of a business’ scalability and reliability, thus having an efficient way on managing the IT Infrastructure would be one of the core decisions for a business. IT Infrastructure itself has evolved throughout the years, with the rise of virtualization technology, containerization became more relevant as ever, one such example is Containerization Infrastructure, an IT Infrastructure that uses Containerization as its backbone. With the push of the technology, a new way of managing Containerization Infrastructure efficiently is needed. There are multiple researches regarding the implementation of GitOps already, but none of them explained the connection between GitOps and Containerized Infrastructure, this paper is intended to discuss the connection by implementing GitOps in a Containerized infrastructure. This resulted in a quite steep learning curve and preparation time, but in the end all the changes and deployment of the application would be done automatically, this resulted in maximized focus on the development of the application rather than reflecting the changes later on. Other than that, GitOps itself is not limited to Containerized Infrastructure, although since GitOps is designed with virtualization in mind, theoretically, the efficiency would be reduced if it’s implemented in other kind of IT Infrastructure
Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs)—A Review for Diagnosis and Vaccination
Authors: Batta Anil
Published: February 2024

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are a group of more than 150 related viruses. They are called papillomaviruses because some of them cause papillomas, which are more commonly known as warts. Some types of HPV only grow in skin, while others grow in mucous membranes such as the mouth, throat, or vagina. All types of HPV are spread by contact (touch). More than 40 types of HPV can be passed on through sexual contact. Most sexually active people are infected with one or more of these HPV types at some point in their lives. At least a dozen of these HPV types are known to cause cancer. While HPV infections are very common, cancer caused by HPV is not. Most people infected with HPV will not develop cancer-related to the infection. However, some people with long-lasting infections of high-risk HPV types are at risk of developing cancer. HPV infections of the mucous membranes can cause genital warts, but they usually have no symptoms. There are no effective medicines or other treatments for HPV, other than removing or destroying cells that are known to be infected. But in most people, the body’s immune system controls the HPV infection or gets rid of it over time. To learn more, see HPV and HPV Testing.

Published: February 2024

The chemical soil stabilization method is an effort to improve soil bearing capacity according to soil work specifications in construction. The use of conventional stabilization materials, such as cement and lime, is considered environmentally unfriendly. Utilizing by-products from the mining industry becomes an alternative that can be developed in soil improvement efforts. This research aims to examine the influence of nickel slag on the enhancement of soil bearing capacity as observed through its unconfined compressive strength value. In this study, the concentration of added nickel slag as a stabilization material is 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12% by dry soil weight. The test specimens used are cylinders with a diameter of 5 cm and a height of 10 cm. Unconfined compressive strength testing is conducted after the specimens are cured for 14 days. The results of this study indicate that the clay soil used is classified as organic clay with high plasticity based on the USCS classification, with an unconfined compressive strength value of 0.2 kg/cm2. The addition of nickel slag with concentrations of 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12% results in respective increases in unconfined compressive strength by 46%, 50%, 68%, and 47%. These findings demonstrate that the optimum nickel slag content of 6% provides the maximum unconfined compressive strength. Therefore, it can be concluded that nickel slag, as a source of silica, has the potential to be used as an alternative material in soft soil improvement.
The Inter-Ethnic Folklore: An Appraisal of the Areas of Affinity in the Igbo and Yoruba Customary Lore
Authors: Nnyagu Uche , Ozoh Ngozi Jacinta , Umeh Deborah
Published: February 2024

Nigeria is a nation comprising different ethnic groups. Each ethnic group is distinct from the other as the people are bounded by a unique belief system. Being bounded by a belief system – tradition and culture, the people live gregariously in a particular place – society. The distinguishing factor of societies is culture. Culture entails the totality of the way of life of a people including the people’s language. As a binding factor of a society, distinguishing each society from the other, it is therefore a popular belief that juxtaposition of two alien cultures heralds conflict. The belief system of any society is understood through parsing of the society’s folklore. Even as culture differs from society to society, the researchers are of the view that certain aspects of folklore of societies overlap. In this paper, therefore, the researchers appraise the customary aspect of folklore with the aim to explore the areas of affinity in the Igbo and Yoruba belief system.
