Evidence for the potential role of m6A modification in regulating autophagy in models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Authors: An Di , Han Jingzhe , Fang Pingping , Bu Yi , Ji Guang , Liu Mingjuan , Deng Jinliang , Song Xueqin
Published: September 2024

Objective:

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease. Research indicates that N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays a crucial role in cellular autophagy during ALS development. This study investigates the role of autophagy in ALS, with a focus on the effect of messenger ribonucleic acid m6A methylation modification on disease progression.

Material and Methods:

We compared m6A levels and regulatory molecule expressions in transgenic superoxide dismutase (SOD1)-G93A and non-transgenic mice, categorized into end-stage and control groups, using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. The NSC-34 cell line, which was modified to model ALS, enabled the investigation of apoptosis, autophagy, and autophagy disruption through terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labeling assays, Western blotting, and fluorescent staining.

Results:

Our findings indicate significantly elevated m6A methylation levels in ALS mice (0.262 ± 0.005) compared with the controls (0.231 ± 0.003) and in the ALS model cells (0.242±0.005) relative to those belonging to the wild-type control group (0.183 ± 0.007). Furthermore, the proteins involved in m6A RNA modification differed between groups, which suggest impaired autophagy flux in the ALS models.

Conclusion:

These results suggest that m6A methylation may accelerate ALS progression through the disruption of autophagic processes. Our study underscores the role of m6A methylation in the pathology of ALS and proposes the targeting of m6A methylation as a potential therapeutic strategy for disease treatment. Although this study primarily used transgenic SOD1-G93A mice and NSC-34 cell models to investigate ALS pathology, potential differences in disease mechanisms between animal models and humans must be considered. Although a correlation was detected between m6A methylation levels and autophagy disruption in ALS, the study primarily established an association rather than provided detailed mechanistic insights.
DOĞAL KAYNAK GELİRİ, TİCARİ AÇIKLIK, EKONOMİK BÜYÜME VE ÇEVRESEL BOZULMA İLİŞKİSİ: MIST ÜLKELERİNDEN BULGULAR
Authors: Ursavaş Neslihan
Published: September 2024

Sanayi Devrimi ile birlikte artan üretim daha fazla enerji talebini ortaya çıkarmış ve bu durum doğal kaynak kullanımının önemini artmıştır. Ekonomik büyümenin önemli bir bileşeni olan doğal kaynak kullanımı doğrudan üretim sürecini etkilemekte ve ekonomik büyüme süreci içerisinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Ancak hızlı üretim ve büyüme yalnızca doğal kaynak stokunu tüketmekle kalmayıp aynı zamanda ekolojik sürdürülebilirliği kötüleştirerek çevreye de zarar vermektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı MIST (Meksika, Endonezya, G. Kore ve Türkiye) ülkelerinde doğal kaynak geliri, ticari açıklık ve ekonomik büyümenin çevresel bozulma üzerindeki etkisini test etmektir. Çalışmada çevresel bozulmanın bir göstergesi olarak karbonsuz ayak izi değişkeni kullanılmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda 1970-2021 dönemine ait yıllık veriler kullanılarak Pedroni (2004) ve Westerlund (2007) eş bütünleşme testi ve tam modifiye edilmiş en küçük kareler (FMOLS) ve dinamik en küçük kareler (DOLS) yöntemleri uygulanmıştır. Pedroni (2004) ve Westerlund (2007) eş bütünleşme testlerine göre değişkenler arasında uzun dönemde eş bütünleşme ilişkisi bulunmaktadır. Elde edilen diğer bulgulara göre MIST ülkelerinde doğal kaynak geliri ile karbonsuz ayak izi arasında pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca ticari açıklık ile karbonsuz ayak izi arasında negatif ve anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Son olarak ekonomik büyüme karbonsuz ayak izini artırmaktadır. Diğer bir ifadeyle MIST ülkelerinde doğal kaynak gelirleri ve ekonomik büyümedeki artış çevresel bozulmayı artırırken; ticari açıklıktaki artış çevresel kaliteye katkıda bulunmaktadır.
HidroARTE: en busca del agua perdida de Tenochtitlán
Authors: Ramouche Marie-Pierre
Published: September 2024

Entre 2013 y 2019, la SACMEX (Sistema de Aguas de la Ciudad de México) en colaboración con el gobierno de la ciudad de México convocó hidroARTE, un concurso de cultura del agua y arte urbano cuyo objetivo era fomentar el ahorro del agua y el cuidado ambiental de la cuenca del valle de México a través del arte urbano. Analizando algunos de los murales de este concurso, nos proponemos estudiar cómo los artistas que participaron en hidroARTE procuraron rescatar y reinventar la relación entre la ciudad de México y el agua que antaño definía esa antigua ciudad lacustre. Esta reflexión nos llevará a interrogarnos sobre la capacidad y los límites del arte urbano para redefinir las relaciones de los habitantes con ciertos espacios de su ciudad así como su propio papel de ciudadano responsable en una polis cuyos recursos en agua escasean.
Substituent and heteroatom effects on parallel-displaced pi-stacking: Further evidence that short-range pi-pi interactions are not under electrostatic control
Authors: Schramm Brandon , Gray Montgomery , Herbert John
Published: September 2024

Stacking interactions are a recurring motif in supramolecular chemistry and biochemistry, where a persistent theme is a preference for parallel-displaced aromatic rings over face-to-face pi-stacking. The Hunter-Sanders model purports to explain this preference in terms of quadrupolar electrostatics but that interpretation is inconsistent with accurate quantum-mechanical calculations. Here, we apply symmetry-adapted perturbation theory to dimers composed of substituted benzene and to dimers of heterocycles including pyridine, pyrimidine, triazine, and thiophene. These systems display a wide range of electrostatic interactions, allowing us to investigate the generality of an alternative explanation for offset pi-stacking in which this phenomenon is driven by competition between Pauli repulsion and dispersion, not by electrostatics. Profiles of energy components along cofacial slip-stacking coordinates support this "van der Waals" model, even in cases where dipolar forces are significant. We find no evidence to support continued invocation of the Hunter-Sanders or quadrupolar electrostatics model. Our results suggest that chemical substitutions that primarily affect electrostatic interactions are unlikely to alter the short-range driving forces that contribute to offset-stacking. This has implications for rational design of soft materials and other supramolecular architectures.
Attitudes of Slovenian School Teachers Towards Smart Educational Humanoid Robots in the Classroom
Authors: Zemljak Dejan
Published: September 2024

Robots are becoming an increasingly important part of our everyday lives and, consequently, of the education landscape. They can take many forms in education, from simple robots that students assemble and program to more complex (humanoid) robots that can, for example, travel distances when working remotely. The attitude of Slovenian teachers towards the introduction of smart educational humanoid robots into everyday school life was explored. A questionnaire was designed, and the current state of teachers’ attitudes was analysed based on the responses of participating teachers. The results show that negative attitudes towards the use of robots in the classroom prevail and that teachers do not feel qualified to integrate smart educational humanoid robots in education. Statistically significant differences between male and female teachers also emerge in some of the statements. However, teachers expressed positive attitudes towards concrete examples of robot use.

Published: September 2024

BackgroundPoor nutritional knowledge at an early stage of life suggests developing poor dietary habits that later lead to obesity and attendant complications of non-communicable diseases.ObjectiveThis study examined gender differences in nutritional knowledge, dietary pattern and the prevalence of overweight/obesity among students of a private tertiary institution in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria.MethodsA total of 214 students were recruited to this study from the six colleges of the university. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect information on personal and lifestyle characteristics, dietary patterns and physical activity. Weight and height measures were used to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi square test at 5% level of significance.ResultsThe mean age of the students was 19±1.89years. Monthly allowance of ≥₦50, 000.00 ($70) was received by 64%; 80% and 78% of them had fathers and mothers respectively with university degrees. Physical exercise was not done by 40%, 69% took < 3meals/day and 60% skipped breakfast; 71% and 21% had medium and high dietary diversity scores respectively. The mean BMI was 24.6±3.70; 36% had a BMI ≥25. Regarding their nutritional knowledge, 16% were high. There were no gender differences in BMI, nutritional knowledge or dietary diversity.ConclusionsThe study revealed less than ideal nutritional knowledge and dietary diversity and prevalence of overweight/obesity. Great emphasis needs to be given to nutrition education and promotion among university students.

Published: September 2024

Drones have found extensive utility in both public and personal places. Consequently, the accurate detection and tracking of drones have emerged as pivotal endeavors in terms of ensuring their optimal performance. This research paper introduces a novel application for discerning the movements of humans and drones from cloud points through the utilization of frequency-modulated continuous wave radar. The dynamic density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (Dynamic-DBSCAN) algorithm was employed to classify cloud points into separate groups corresponding to the number of objects within the tracking area. Compared to the original DBSCAN algorithm, this method increased accuracy by about 16.8%, achieving an accuracy of up to 93.99%. Subsequently, a trio of deep learning algorithms— long short-term memory, deep neural network, and residual network (ResNet)—were harnessed to ascertain the categorization of each group as either human or drone. According to the results, ResNet achieved the best accuracy rate of 97.72%. Overall, this study underscores the efficacy of the proposed method in accurately and efficiently distinguishing between human and drone entities for effective monitoring and management.

Published: September 2024

La capacidad de intercambio catiónico (CIC) es una de las propiedades más importantes al evaluar la fertilidad del suelo. El método más usado es mediante acetato de amonio 1 N, pH 7.0; sin embargo, este método presenta errores durante la determinación. Se compararon varios métodos para medir la CIC: acetato de amonio (NH₄OAc) 1 N pH 7.0, acetato de sodio (NaOAc) 1 N pH 8.2, sumatoria de cationes extraídos con NH₄OAc 1 N a pH 7.0 (CICE), cloruro de bario (BaCl2) 0.01 M y tiourea de plata (AgTU) 0.01 M. Los suelos analizados tenían características variables en pH, textura, materia orgánica y carbonatos. Los mayores valores de CIC se obtuvieron con la sumatoria de cationes, seguidos por acetato de amonio y tiourea de plata. El método de acetato de sodio presentó valores intermedios debido a los errores del método. Hubo asociación entre la CIC mediante AgTU y NH₄OAc a diferencia de CICE y NH₄OAc; el costo de determinación con NH₄OAc superó en ocho al de AgTU. Los cationes Mg2+, K+ y Na+ extraídos mediante cloruro de bario, acetato de amonio y acetato de sodio presentaron alta asociación; sin embargo, no hubo relación entre K+ y Na+ extraídos con NH₄OAc y AgTU. El calcio fue el catión que más se sobreestimó, seguido del magnesio y potasio extraído con NH₄OAc 1 N a pH 7.0, donde la sobreestimación varió de 10 a 498 veces con relación al que originalmente está en los sitios de intercambio, mientras que el magnesio y potasio se sobreestimaron de 11.2 a 141.7 y de 3.7 a 33.3 veces, respectivamente. El método de AgTU fue la mejor alternativa para determinar la CIC, ya que es rápido, de bajo costo, minimiza errores y es aplicable a suelos con diferentes características de pH, textura, materia orgánica y contenido de carbonatos.

Avocado is a fruit (Persea americana), that has increased its consumption worldwide. Mexico is the main producer and exporter of avocado in the world, representing more than 30% of the world harvest, of which 73.2% of the total avocado production in Mexico was concentrated in the state of Michoacán. In the state of Michoacán, there is a constant production of avocado fruit throughout the year, but this production is affected by the variation in climate, water management and flowering type, putting agricultural production and sustainable development at risk. The objective of this study was to evaluate the climatic effect, water management, and flowering type on fruit nutrient content in six orchards in the state of Michoacan. Six orchards were evaluated in the towns of Basilia, Cheranguerán, Tecario, Araparicuaro, Peribán and Patamburu in the state of Michoacan, which represent 90% of the climate types (TC), predominant in the state (ACW1, ACW2 and CW1)., with 100% of the water regime (irrigated and seasonal, RH) and 97% of the type of fruit produced (loca and normal, FF). The dry matter contents and total mineral content of the fruit were evaluated. The arrangement of treatments was a factorial [A= water regime (RH); B= type of climate (TC); C= floral flow (FF)], distributed completely randomly with 20 repetitions taking each tree as a repetition. The results indicated that the dry matter content is affected by TC, but not by RH and FF, FF affects the nutritional content more than TC and RH. The type of climate is the factor with the least impact on the mineral content of the fruit. In floral flow, the total nutritional content was significant in four elements with higher values for N, Cl, and Zn in crazy fruit and Na in normal fruit.

Authors: Hocagil Hilal , Hocagil Abdullah Cüneyt , Akkaya Hocagil Tuğba
Published: September 2024

Introduction: With a lifetime frequency of 10-15% and a recurrence rate of up to 50% within 10 years, urinary stone disease is a major cause of comorbidity. Recently, it has become widely recognized that urinary system stone disease is not only limited to kidney stone development but is also linked to cardiovascular disease and various other illnesses. Malignant arrhythmias (sudden cardiac death and ventricular arrhythmias) are consequences of coronary artery disease. Despite numerous studies demonstrating that urinary system stone disease is a risk factor for coronary artery disease, no electrocardiographic parameters have been evaluated in this patient group
This prospective observational study aims to assess ventricular repolarization parameters using electrocardiography, which are risk indicators for malignant arrhythmias in patients with urinary stones disease.
Materials and Methods The study included patients diagnosed with urinary stone disease and healthy volunteers. All patients underwent 12-lead electrocardiography. The electrocardiographys were evaluated for QTc interval, QTc dispersion, T peak-end interval, and Tp-e/QTc, and compared with the control group.
Results: When comparing the QTc interval, QTc dispersion, T peak-end interval, and Tp-e/QTc parameters between the patient and control groups, no statistically significant differences were found.
Conclusion: Contrary to existing knowledge, this study found that malignant arrhythmias in patients with urinary stone disease were not significantly different from the normal population.
Central Government Political Intervention in the Implementation of Educational Autonomy in Indonesia
Authors: Lubis Sopian , Sirozi Muhammad , Sumanti Solihah Titin
Published: September 2024

This article presents a critical analysis of the central government's political intervention in the administration of educational autonomy in Indonesia. In reference to developed countries, education is a fundamental commodity and a top priority for developing national potential in global competition. In democratic countries, it is imperative to manage the government and its related elements using a democratic system. In the context of education in Indonesia, as a democratic country, educational institutions should ideally have ample space to determine their direction in accordance with the needs and demands of the times within the framework of national educational goals. Therefore, the expectation is that the education system should be developed in a decentralized (autonomous) manner rather than centralized. However, in reality, the national education system law has become a political tool for the government to set centralized policies without considering regional situations and conditions. In this issue, the central government seems to enforce the implementation of all educational policy products, particularly in the curriculum sector. The findings of this study indicate that the national education curriculum has undergone 11 changes from 1947, 1952, 1964, 1968, 1975, 1984, 1994, 2004, 2006, 2013, and 2022 based on the central government's political policies. These curriculum changes have both positive and negative impacts on the improvement of education quality. The positive impact is that students acquire current knowledge in line with contemporary demands, while the negative impact is that teachers are confused in responding to these changes, which in turn lowers student achievement.

This research analyzes the role of teachers as philosophers at MAS Babul Khairat, the teaching practices implemented, and the challenges faced. The findings show that teachers at this madrasah not only function as academic teachers but also as moral and intellectual mentors who integrate Islamic values ​​in teaching. They use a variety of innovative methods, such as discussions, group projects, and problem-based approaches, to encourage students' critical and reflective thinking. In addition, teachers act as role models in everyday behavior, which helps students understand and apply ethical values ​​in their lives. However, the research also identified a number of challenges faced by teachers, including limited resources, high workloads, lack of ongoing professional training, and pressure to meet high academic standards. These challenges highlight the need for greater support from schools and government, including restructuring teacher duties, increasing educational resources, and ongoing professional training. With adequate support, teachers at MAS Babul Khairat can continue to develop effective and innovative teaching practices, and better play their role as philosophers. This research confirms that with strong commitment and the right support, teachers can create a learning environment that is conducive to students' intellectual, moral and spiritual development.

Published: September 2024

This article underscores the crucial role of regulatory bodies in insolvency processes, providing the audience with a comprehensive understanding of their functions. They play a significant part in creating a conducive environment for restructuring viable businesses and rehabilitation. The Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) implementation under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016, has transformed the corporate insolvency regime of India and has affected the economic growth, wealth distribution, employment stability and ultimately socio-economic development of India. This paper evaluates the CIRP by scrutinising the legislative provisions and analysing case studies of various distressed companies to determine how far it has facilitated corporate distress resolution and protected the interests of its stakeholders. It focuses on the practical implementation of the CIRP and identifies the challenges in the CIRP, like judicial interpretation, procedural delays, and regulatory ambiguities. Ultimately, it provides suggestions for improving the efficiency and efficacy of insolvency resolution in India to promote sustainable socio-economic development, reassuring the audience of the regulatory bodies’ commitment to the process.
Every voice counts – Embedding the principles of Universal Design for Learning into higher education online course design
Authors: Fournier Elaine
Published: September 2024

University classrooms are diverse settings. With online courses becoming increasingly more common instructors in post-secondary institutions must create inclusive learning environments that meet the needs of adult learners with exceptionalities. Goldberg et al. (2003) asserted that innovative technological tools can be used to promote student engagement, motivation, and enhance the quality of learning for students with disabilities.
One such tool is the Voice Thread which can be thoughtfully and intentionally incorporated into the course design phase. Friedman and Lee (2009) contend that using visual images to present content is a necessary pedagogical strategy and provides an opportunity to reduce visual clutter. Making content visual and auditory rather than exclusively in print is a Universal Design for Learning strategy that makes the information more accessible to all students not just those who struggle with reading.
Hampton and Mason (2003) reminded us that many students with learning disabilities require additional time to formulate their thoughts to make meaningful contributions to an online discussion. The features of the program offer a comfortable way for students to share their knowledge and understanding, analytical skills and personal reflections related to a particular concept. Offering a choice in the response format allows students to utilize their strengths and concentrate more fully on demonstrating their learning.
Fostering an inclusive learning environment using innovative technologies, such as Voice Thread, offers online instructors a meaningful way to adopt inclusive approaches to curriculum and assessment. Pre-existing structures such as the Community of Practice (Lave & Wenger, 1991) provide inclusive leaders the opportunity to share these innovations with colleagues and ensure that every voice counts.
