Selective flocculation of ultrafine hematite with sodium polyacrylate
Authors: Niu Fusheng , Chen Yuying , Zhang Jinxia , Liu Fei , Wang Ziye
Published: August 2024

The separation of ultrafine hematite and kaolinite using classical flotation and magnetic separation techniques is challenging due to their very fine particle size, which easily contaminates the concentrate, resulting in low grades. This research examines the flocculation effects and mechanisms of sodium polyacrylate (PAAS) on hematite and kaolinite through flocculation experiments, particle size analysis, zeta potential measurements, FTIR, and XPS analysis. The flocculation tests indicated that with a PAAS dosage of 2.25 mg·L-1, ultrafine hematite exhibited good flocculation, with the average particle size increasing from 2.59 μm to 42.88 μm, and the fractal dimension could reach 1.59. Changes in zeta potential and adsorption amount showed that at a PAAS dosage of 2.25 mg·L-1, the zeta potential reached a peak of -3.53 mV, and the adsorption amount was 0.01 mg/g. The adsorption isotherm fitting results suggested that PAAS adsorption on hematite and kaolinite follows the Langmuir equation more closely, with hematite demonstrating better PAAS adsorption properties. FTIR analysis showed that sodium polyacrylate was chemisorbed on the surface of hematite. It was determined by XPS analysis that Fe3+ on the hematite surface reacted with the reactive group -COO - in sodium polyacrylate.
Computing Excluded Minors for Classes of Matroids Representable over Partial Fields
Authors: Brettell Nick , Pendavingh Rudi
Published: August 2024

We describe an implementation of a computer search for the "small" excluded minors for a class of matroids representable over a partial field.  Using these techniques, we enumerate the excluded minors on at most 15 elements for both the class of dyadic matroids, and the class of 2-regular matroids.  We conjecture that there are no other excluded minors for the class of 2-regular matroids; whereas, on the other hand, we show that there is a 16-element excluded minor for the class of dyadic matroids.
The Combinatorics Behind the Leading Kazhdan-Lusztig Coefficients of Braid Matroids
Authors: Gao Alice L.L. , Proudfoot Nicholas James , Yang Arthur L.B. , Zhang Zhong-Xue
Published: August 2024

Ferroni and Larson gave a combinatorial interpretation of the braid Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials in terms of series-parallel matroids. As a consequence, they confirmed an explicit formula for the leading Kazhdan-Lusztig coefficients of braid matroids with odd rank, as conjectured by Elias, Proudfoot, and Wakefield. Based on Ferroni and Larson’s work, we further explore the combinatorics behind the leading Kazhdan-Lusztig coefficients of braid matroids. The main results of this paper include an explicit formula for the leading Kazhdan-Lusztig coefficients of braid matroids with even rank, a simple expression for the number of simple series-parallel matroids of rank $k + 1$ on $2k$ elements, and explicit formulas for the leading coefficients of inverse Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials of braid matroids. The binomial identity for the Abel polynomials plays an important role in the proofs of these formulas.
Lysophospholipid receptors in neurodegeneration and neuroprotection
Authors: Birgbauer Eric
Published: August 2024

The central nervous system (CNS) is one of the most complex physiological systems, and treatment of CNS disorders represents an area of major medical need. One critical aspect of the CNS is its lack of regeneration, such that damage is often permanent. The damage often leads to neurodegeneration, and so strategies for neuroprotection could lead to major medical advances. The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family is one of the major receptor classes, and they have been successfully targeted clinically. One class of GPCRs is those activated by bioactive lysophospholipids as ligands, especially sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). Research has been increasingly demonstrating the important roles that S1P and LPA, and their receptors, play in physiology and disease. In this review, I describe the role of S1P and LPA receptors in neurodegeneration and potential roles in neuroprotection. Much of our understanding of the role of S1P receptors has been through pharmacological tools. One such tool, fingolimod (also known as FTY720), which is a S1P receptor agonist but a functional antagonist in the immune system, is clinically efficacious in multiple sclerosis by producing a lymphopenia to reduce autoimmune attacks; however, there is evidence that fingolimod is also neuroprotective. Furthermore, fingolimod is neuroprotective in many other neuropathologies, including stroke, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Rett syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease, and others that are discussed here. LPA receptors also appear to be involved, being upregulated in a variety of neuropathologies. Antagonists or mutations of LPA receptors, especially LPA1, are neuroprotective in a variety of conditions, including cortical development, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke and others discussed here. Finally, LPA receptors may interact with other receptors, including a functional interaction with plasticity related genes.

Aim: Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) is a well-established prognostic and predictive biomarker. It is an FDA-approved therapeutic target for HER2 positive breast, gastroesophageal, and more recently, lung and colon cancers. It is an emerging biomarker in biliary tract, bladder, cervical, endometrial, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers. The emergence of new indications warrants further characterization of HER2 expression in diverse cancer populations. This study investigated HER2 expression in solid tumour samples and the feasibility of obtaining these results.
Methods: Prospective consent was obtained at a Canadian tertiary academic cancer center from adult oncology patients who were referred for molecular genetic testing of malignant tissue samples. Standard HER2-targeted malignancies were considered breast and gastroesophageal, and were excluded from this study. Between July 2020 and November 2023, 499 samples of solid tumors underwent immunohistochemistry (IHC) HER2 staining. A median turnaround time (TAT) of 14 days would be considered feasible for clinical decision making.
Results: The mean age (± SD) of participants was 67 ± 12.5 years, with 270 (54%) male and 229 (46%) female. HER2 protein expression was measured in 42 unique cancer types. IHC levels of 0, 1+, 2+, and 3+ were reported and were 43%, 12%, 35%, and 10% of all analyzable samples respectively (tissue inadequate in 3% of samples). The median TAT for HER2 expression results from time of request to result in release was 18 (interquartile range, 11 to 30) days.
Conclusions: HER2 protein expression varies widely between different cancer types. TAT for HER2 IHC results was a median of 18 days, which is close to our feasibility cut-off.

Supporting out-of-school girls and children and youth from marginalised groups in the ASEAN region: A review of promising practices
Authors: Dabrowski Anna , Ahmed Syeda Kashfee , Goundar Payal , Wong Debbie , Spink Jeaniene
Published: August 2024

Investing in girls’ and women's education can transform the experiences of individuals, as well as shape communities into the future. Girls who are given opportunities to receive an education are more likely to lead productive lives, participate in decision making processes, and shape the trajectories of others. The work of the ASEAN-UK SAGE programme reflects an overarching aim to better understand the challenges facing different types of girls and women in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, identify promising practices that can support girls and women, and create tangible recommendations for those responsible for supporting girls and women's educational trajectories across the lifespan. Data shows concerning levels of children and youth not completing lower-secondary and upper-secondary schooling. While primary completion rates hover around 80% in Cambodia, Myanmar, Lao PDR and Timor-Leste, rates fall to just over 50% in lower-secondary. While half of students complete upper secondary in Timor-Leste, only 20-30% in Cambodia, Myanmar and Lao PDR do. Even though girls now remain in the education system for longer, they are less likely to be in employment, further education, or training in the ASEAN region. From the age of 15, women also earn less than men in the seven ASEAN member states for which data are available, impacting on household financial stability and resiliency. Girls also face ongoing risks of forced and early marriage, period poverty, violence and trafficking, female genital mutilation, adolescent pregnancy, and sex-selection before birth. Given the gains made by girls in the region, and the importance of acknowledging that other gender groups can also be vulnerable within ASEAN education systems, this report focuses on two broad groups: out-of-school girls, and children and youth from marginalised groups. Understanding ways to better support the complex needs of these different groups is a key focus of the SAGE initiative. As part of a three-part series examining ways to support girls, women, and other vulnerable and marginalised populations, this report focuses on understanding the current challenges ASEAN countries face in supporting out-of-schoolgirls, and children and youth from marginalised groups and examines effective practices for supporting these underrepresented and hard to reach populations.
Can you help me? Using others to offload cognition
Authors: Armitage Kristy L. , Redshaw Jonathan
Published: August 2024

One of the most ancient and widely used forms of cognitive offloading is the outsourcing of cognitive operations onto other humans. Here, we explore whether humans preferentially seek out and use information from more competent compared with less competent others in an ongoing cognitive task. Participants (N = 120) completed a novel computerised visuospatial working memory task where each trial required them to remember either one, five, or ten target locations and recall them after a brief delay. Next, participants watched two virtual people compete in a distinct memory game, where one performed relatively well, demonstrating a stronger memory, and the other performed relatively poorly, demonstrating a weaker memory. Finally, participants completed the initial memory task again, but this time, either the strong-memory person or the weak-memory person was available to help with recall on each trial. Our results showed that, through observation and without direct instruction, participants acquired beliefs about the virtual people’s cognitive proficiencies and could readily draw upon these beliefs to inform offloading decisions. Participants were typically more likely to ask for help from the strong-memory person, and this tendency was independent from other factors known to drive cognitive offloading more generally, like task difficulty, unaided cognitive ability, and metacognitive confidence.
Flexible word position coding in reading: Roles for attention and memory
Authors: Snell Joshua
Published: August 2024

Readers may fail to notice the error in 'Do love you me?': this is the recently established transposed-word (TW) phenomenon. Word position coding is a novel cognitive construct, and researchers are presently debating the underlying mechanisms. Here I investigated roles for attention and memory. Participants (N = 54) made grammaticality judgements to four-word sequences that formed correct sentences ('The man can run', 'The dog was here'), TW sentences ('The can man run', 'The was dog here'), or ungrammatical control sentences ('The man dog run', 'The was can here'). Sequences were replaced by post-masks after 200 ms, and that post-mask was accompanied by a 50-ms retro-cue in the form of an 'X' presented at a critical location (where one could have locally inferred grammaticality; e.g., between the first and second word of 'The was dog here') or a non-critical location (e.g., between the third and fourth word of 'The was dog here'). TW sentences were harder to reject than control sentences – the classic TW effect – and crucially, this effect was modulated by cue validity, with valid cues attenuating TW effects compared to invalid cues. The present results suggest that focused attention aids the process of binding words to locations. Furthermore, as cues appeared after sentence offset, these results suggest that word position coding may take place in memory.
Visual experience modulates the sensitivity to the distributional history of words in natural language
Authors: Anceresi Giorgia , Gatti Daniele , Vecchi Tomaso , Marelli Marco , Rinaldi Luca
Published: August 2024

Different experiential traces (i.e., linguistic, motor, and perceptual) are likely contributing to the organization of human semantic knowledge. Here, we aimed to address this issue by investigating whether visual experience may affect the sensitivity to distributional priors from natural language. We conducted an independent reanalysis of data from Bottini et al., in which early blind and sighted participants performed an auditory lexical decision task. Since previous research has shown that semantic neighborhood density—the mean distance between a target word and its closest semantic neighbors—can influence performance in lexical decision tasks, we investigated whether vision may alter the reliance on this semantic index. We demonstrate that early blind participants are more sensitive to semantic neighborhood density than sighted participants, as indicated by the significantly faster response times for words with higher levels of semantic neighborhood density shown by the blind group. These findings suggest that an early lack of visual experience may lead to enhanced sensitivity to the distributional history of words in natural language, deepening in turn our understanding of the strict interplay between linguistic and perceptual experience in the organization of conceptual knowledge.

INNOVATIVE LANGUAGE LEARNING
Authors: Dewi Kadek Yati Fitria
Published: August 2024

AbstractTraditional teachings are often seen as practices that lead students to view language learning as a set of theories with less or no relevance to the real world. Teachers in traditional classrooms tend to pose children with many grammatical rules. As a result, children will only be able to memorize or master the rules of the target language, while they are less capable of applying what they learn in school to their daily lives. Therefore, educators now find it necessary to rethink how we teach language. This article discusses some innovative language teaching methods to help learners learn the target language as a holistic and contextual part.Keywords: innovative, language learning

Published: August 2024

AbstrakDalam mengadopsi suatu tanaman yang berfungsi sebagai obat, minimal kita harus mengetahui secara pasti mengenai senyawa yang dikandung oleh bagian-bagian tanaman yang bersangkutan dalam kaitannya sebagai obat suatu penyakit. Seperti misalnya, air rebusan daun tanaman sirsak dapat digunakan sebagai obat kanker. Hal ini disebabkan oleh daun tanaman sirsak mengandung senyawa acetogenin dan ribosome inactivating protein (RIP). Senyawa acetogenin berfungsi untuk memblok ATP yang dihasilkan oleh mitokondria yang diintervensi oleh sel kanker, sehingga tidak berfungsi sebagai sumber energi dalam: pembelahan sel kanker, produksi telomerase transkriptase balik (TERT), dan penyalinan gen-gen telomer saat pembelahan sel kanker. Sedangkan ribosome inactivating protein berperan untuk memblok telomerase transkriptase balik (TERT) dalam menyalin gen-gen telomer saat pembelahan sel kanker. Melalui pemblokan fungsi ATP dan telomerase transkriptase balik (TERT) menyebabkan sel-sel kanker tidak mampu untuk melakukan pembelahan sel, yang selanjutnya mengalami apoptosis.Kata kunci: Sirsak, kanker, dan biologi sel molekuler.

Published: August 2024

A pesar de realizarse varias evaluaciones integrales de especies endémicas de plantas en el Ecuador, la presión de las amenazas sobre ellas no ha disminuido. esto no sorprende si se considera que el deterioro que sufren sus hábitats naturales no cesa dado que la colonización desorganizada, expansión de la frontera agrícola y ganadera y la deforestación en el país continúa, siendo de las más altas en Sudamérica. Hay que destacar la enorme utilidad de la flora endémica del Ecuador para tratar prácticamente todo tipo de enfermedades o desórdenes, potencial terapéutico reconocido desde el punto de vista etnobotánico y catalogado dentro del saber ancestral. Este trabajo recopila información sobre cuatro especies endémicas del Ecuador evaluadas en diferentes categorías de amenaza, según los criterios utilizados por la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN), y sus usos etnobotánicos y etnofarmacológicos como contribución al conocimiento tradicional de recursos andinos, sus potencialidades y manejo sostenible. Aristeguietia glutinosa, empleada como astringente, antirreumática, antimicrobiana y para tratar el estómago, úlceras, diarrea y dolores de cabeza; Croton elegans para la inflamación, dolor molar, como cicatrizante y para afecciones respiratorias; Lepechinia rufocampii Epling & Mathias contra las afecciones gástricas e intestinales, contra la inflamación de las vías respiratorias, tos y tuberculosis y Oreopanax ecuadorensis Seem para limpiar heridas producidas por dermatitis, salpullidos y granos. Las partes de las plantas más utilizadas son: hojas, tallos y flores consumidas principalmente en infusión, decocción y baños. Los principales metabolitos secundarios identificados incluyen alcaloides, aceites esenciales, terpenos, esteroides, flavonoides, fenoles, taninos, resinas, catequinas y quinonas, los cuales se reconocen poco investigados si se tiene en cuenta que son los responsables de las propiedades farmacológicas o toxicológicas en humanos y animales. La última evaluación de estas especies data del año 2003, lo cual es muy preocupante por las amenazas que confrontan sus poblaciones.

Analysis of Toddler Eating Patterrn on the Incidence of Stunting in the Coastal Ponelo Islands of North Gorontalo District
Authors: Febriyona Rona , Muhamad Zuriati , Sali Nurdiyanti R.
Published: August 2024

Malnutrition especially stunting, is a major public health issue in many parts of the world including the Ponelo Islands of North Gorontalo. Stunting among toddlers is associated with the dietary patterns adopted in the communities and the accessibility of government relations such as the PMT – Supplementary Feeding Program of ‘this area’. Fresh from interviews with health officials, health cadres and parents of stunted children in Ethiopia, the study identified poor dietary diversity and improper feeding schedules as common factors for stunting. Despite enriching enough nutritional support through PMT program, its effectiveness is limited by problems like the erratic implementation and the absence of wide ranging and permanent solutions for the malnutrition problems. The study underscores the necessity of a dual approach, initial nutritional interventions accompanied by a focus on issues affecting pre-school children’s access to nutritious foods, availability and procurement authorities vested in caregivers. By addressing these causes, it becomes possible to empower a community to ensure all children when given opportunity grow to their full potential in eliminating stunting.

Published: August 2024

Forests promote the conservation of biodiversity and also play a crucial role in safeguarding the environment against erosion, landslides, and climate change. However, illegal logging remains a significant threat worldwide, necessitating the development of automatic logging detection systems in forests. This paper proposes the use of long-range, low-powered, and smart Internet of Things (IoT) nodes to enhance forest monitoring capabilities. The research framework involves developing IoT devices for forest sound classification and transmitting each node's status to a gateway at the forest base station, which further sends the obtained data through cellular connectivity to a cloud server. The key issues addressed in this work include sensor and board selection, Machine Learning (ML) model development for audio classification, TinyML implementation on a microcontroller, choice of communication protocol, gateway selection, and power consumption optimization. Unlike the existing solutions, the developed node prototype uses an array of two microphone sensors for redundancy, and an ensemble network consisting of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models for improved classification accuracy. The model outperforms LSTM and CNN models when used independently and also gave 88% accuracy after quantization. Notably, this solution demonstrates cost efficiency and high potential for scalability.

Introdução: Sabe-se que as instituições particulares buscam constantes estratégias para que consigam atingir os objetivos de formarem adequadamente o seu alunado e, consequentemente, conseguir ascensão no ramo de atuação. Dessa forma, se faz necessário alinhar os objetivos da instituição enquanto empresa, da escola enquanto espaço de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento humano, bem como as estratégias necessárias para tal. Objetivo: o estudo teve como objetivo estudar a gestão de conhecimento como fator influente na qualidade educacional em colégios particulares. Método: Foi desenvolvido uma pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico de caráter exploratório, pois possibilitou a construção de conhecimento teórico e a compreensão aprofundada do assunto, por meio da revisão crítica da literatura. Resultados: Os resultados evidenciaram que o sucesso da escola enquanto empresa é justamente o mesmo da escola enquanto espaço de aprendizagem, ou seja, o desenvolvimento dos alunos. E para desenvolvê-los adequadamente, se faz necessário um espaço escolar adequado, mas que vai muito além de uma arquitetura moderna, coerente e recursos materiais. Conclusões: Portanto, é preciso uma equipe bem formada, engajada, que trabalhe em conjunto e que entenda a necessidade de oferecer bases sólidas aos educandos, por meio da parceria de gestores, professores, familiares e comunidade escolar como um todo.

Good stories overwrite creativity: the three eras of city competition
Authors: Koudela Pál
Published: August 2024

Today cities in national and global competition focus on creativity. Although the creative city concept was invented by Gunnar Törnqvist in 1983, today the dominant concept is creative class articulated by Richard Florida in 2004. Cities are engaged to strengthen their social and cultural environment in the direction indicated in the works by Törnqvist, Peter Hall, Charles Landry, and Florida, and take effort to embed their fame as creative cities to their city branding. This let them communicate a creative image and develop an emotional bond to this image among larger social groups of tourists, employees and beyond. Consequently, their position in competition is improving. The emergence of creativity basically changed the characteristics of city competition since the turn of the millennia, cities – stakeholders in particular – focused on investment and infrastructure development beforehand. As the concept of the creative city already stabilized itself in worldwide city development and branding a new turn might come, and the market of good stories is emerging in city communication which can dim or even overwrite the importance of creativity. While good stories were always part of marketing, and contributed to city planning since the 1980s, their growing importance in city branding can reach a hypothetical point where a new market level develops, and a narrative turn occurs. In such cases, cities themselves carry good stories and the represented virtual reality creates a new market, where creativity will be only one among other stories. In this study we sketch up the three eras of branding in city competition, focusing on the emerging and fading role of creativity.
Contribution of the Moon-forming Impactor to the Volatile Inventory in the Bulk Silicate Earth

The timing and mechanism by which the present-day inventory of life-essential volatiles hydrogen–carbon–nitrogen–sulfur (H–C–N–S) in the bulk silicate Earth (BSE) was established are debated. In this study we have modeled the equilibrium partitioning of H–C–N–S between core, magma ocean (MO), and atmosphere to determine whether the Moon-forming impactor (MFI) was the primary source of volatiles in the BSE. Our findings suggest that the MFI’s core and MO-degassed atmosphere were its primary H–C–N–S reservoirs. Since the MFI likely lost its MO-degassed atmosphere before the giant impact, most of the BSE’s volatiles must come from the small fraction of the MFI’s core which reequilibrated with Earth’s post-impact MO. This implies a high H–C–N–S inventory in the MFI (up to 50% of volatile-rich carbonaceous chondrites) to establish the BSE’s volatile budget. Although isotopic compositions of nonvolatile elements do not rule out the possibility of substantial volatile-rich, carbonaceous material accretion, MFI’s collisional growth from thermally metamorphosed/differentiated planetesimals makes it improbable that it contained ∼50% carbonaceous chondrite equivalent of H–C–N during its differentiation. Therefore, the MFI was unlikely the primary source of volatiles in the BSE. A significant portion of the BSE’s volatile inventory (especially H and C) likely predates the Moon-forming event. To prevent loss to space and segregation into Earth’s core, volatile-bearing materials must be delivered during the final accretion event(s) preceding the Moon-forming event. The substantial size of the proto-Earth at this stage, combined with limited metal–silicate equilibration during the Moon-forming event, facilitated the retention of these volatiles within the BSE.

Our understanding of solar system evolution is closely tied to interpretations of asteroid composition, particularly the M-class asteroids. These asteroids were initially thought to be the exposed cores of differentiated planetesimals, a hypothesis based on their spectral similarity to iron meteorites. However, recent astronomical observations have revealed hydration on their surface through the detection of 3 μm absorption features associated with OH and potentially H2O. We present evidence of hydration due mainly to OH on asteroid (16) Psyche, the largest M-class asteroid, using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) spanning 1.1–6.63 μm. Our observations include two detections of the full 3 μm feature associated with OH and H2O resembling those found in CY-, CH-, and CB-type carbonaceous chondrites, and no 6 μm feature uniquely associated with H2O across two observations. We observe 3 μm depths of between 4.3% and 6% across two observations, values consistent with hydrogen abundance estimates on other airless bodies of 250–400 ppm. We place an upper limit of 39 ppm on the water abundance from the standard deviation around the 6 μm feature region. The presence of hydrated minerals suggests a complex history for Psyche. Exogenous sources of OH-bearing minerals could come from hydrated impactors. Endogenous OH-bearing minerals would indicate a composition more similar to E- or P-class asteroids. If the hydration is endogenous, it supports the theory that Psyche originated beyond the snow line and later migrated to the outer main belt.
A Plant Propagation Algorithm for the Bin Packing Problem

Published: August 2024

We consider the one-dimensional Bin Packing Problem (BPP) and its solution using a novel heuristic approach namely the Plant Propagation Algorithm (PPA). The problem can be stated as follows: given a set of objects of various weights, sizes, or any measure, and a set of bins each with fixed capacity, find the minimum number of bins needed to pack all the items such that the sum of the elements packed inside each bin does not exceed its capacity. BPP is a well-studied problem, however, being NP-Hard, the search for a computationally viable solution approach for it continues. In this paper, we report on our implementation of PPA for BPP and its performance against other algorithms on number of non-trivial instances. Computational results and their discussion are included.
Determinants of citation impact
Authors: Dengler Jürgen
Published: August 2024

This article aims to quantitatively assess how different formal aspects – beyond the relevance and quality of a study – influence how often a scientific paper is cited. As a case study, I retrieved all publications co-authored by myself from the Scopus database, of which 174 could be used for regression modelling. The citation impact was quantified as Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI), which is the citation number normalised by year, subject area and article type. I examined 13 easily accessible numeric and binary predictor variables, including the Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP), open access, special feature, number of authors, length of article and title, as well as formal aspects of the title. In the minimal adequate model, these formal aspects explained 50.2% of the variance in FWCI, with the SNIP alone explaining only 26.8%. Other strong positive predictors were title brevity, article length, special feature and the use of a colon in the title. By contrast, open access and the formulation of titles as factual statements did not have a significant effect. For authors who wish to make their articles more impactful, the main recommendation is to shorten the title and to disregard using factual statements that make the title longer.
