The maturing moral perception of crime: The development of moral correspondence and its association with emerging adults’ delinquent involvement
Authors: Kessler Georg 
Published: October 2021

Abstract

Purpose: This study scrutinizes Situational Action Theory’s (SAT) implications of how internal and external criminogenic factors concerning the rule of moral correspondence develop conjointly over the life-course and how this affects offending during emerging adulthood.Objectives: The main objective is to empirically explore whether the development of moral correspondence displays heterogeneity that can be theoretically linked to heterogeneous offending developments. Additionally, the paper also discusses unexpected co-occurrences arising specifically for the new opportunity structures to commit crimes in emerging adulthood via the broader developmental perspective proposed by the Developmental Ecological Action model of SAT (DEA).Methods: Results from two separate classification models (latent class growth analysis and repeated-measurement latent class analysis) following a German non-offender sample’s (N = 1810) transition between adolescence and emerging adulthood (ages 14 to 28) are cross-tabulated.Results: Five moral correspondence pathways differentiated by the timing, speed and completeness of achieving pro-social states can be extracted. The longer individuals resist this maturitation process during adolescence, the higher their chances are to follow a trajectory during emerging adulthood characterized by proclivities for youth crimes. However, these also follow a diminishing trend. Contrary, rising trajectories fueled by proclivities to commit adult crimes are less often associated by a remiss to maturity. Social selection into specific activity fields seems to play an important role in the availability and accessibility to either type of crime, thus, offering an explanation for these diverging results.Conclusion: SAT and its developmental framework DEA serve as useful blueprints to map the development of changes in crime and its related causes even with non-situational data through its analytical rigor to integrate micro-, meso-, and macro-levels of explanation.
Resident stem cells in the heart

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mobility and morality worldwide, in which the ischemic heart disease is the most common type of the diseases. During last decade, a major progress in the study of the pathogenesis of heart disease has been achieved. For example, the discovery of adult stem/progenitor cells in the heart and vessel tissues may play a role in tissue regeneration. However, the issue of 31 retractions for cardiac stem cell work has caused a “storm of trust” in the heart stem cell field, in which both founders and scientists have become cautious and conservative in stem cell research of the heart. Despite that the existence of adult cardiac stem cells has been denied, recent studies confirmed that there are many other resident stem/progenitor cells in adult heart. Although these cells cannot differentiate into cardiomyocytes, the role they played in heart repair after injury should not be ignored. The purpose of this short article is to briefly review the current research progress in resident stem/progenitor cells in the heart, to discuss how they function during cardiac repair and to point out unanswered questions in the research field.
The role of caveolae in endothelial dysfunction
Authors: He Jinlong , Cui Zhen , Zhu Yi 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Caveolae, the specialized cell-surface plasma membrane invaginations which are abundant in endothelial cells, play critical roles in regulating various cellular processes, including cholesterol homeostasis, nitric oxide production, and signal transduction. Endothelial caveolae serve as a membrane platform for compartmentalization, modulation, and integration of signal events associated with endothelial nitric oxide synthase, ATP synthase β, and integrins, which are involved in the regulation of endothelial dysfunction and related cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and hypertension. Furthermore, these dynamic microdomains on cell membrane are modulated by various extracellular stimuli, including cholesterol and flow shear stress. In this brief review, we summarize the critical roles of caveolae in the orchestration of endothelial function based on recent findings as well as our work over the past two decades.

Published: October 2021

Abstract
In the current research work, an Al-Si-Mg aluminum alloy-based composite (AMCs) was prepared via stir casting. The AA6082 matrix was incorporated with 0, 3, 6 and 9 wt.-% zirconium diboride (ZrB2) particles for manufacturing composites. The manufactured AA6082/ZrB2 composites were evaluated by employing scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Flexural strength, macro-hardness and wear rate of the composites were examined. XRD confirms the development of ZrB2 peaks and also proves that no reaction products are found in the AMCs. The SEM examination depicts the homogeneous dissemination of ZrB2 in the Al alloy. The tribological and mechanical characterization of the AMCs improved after the inclusion of ZrB2 contents. The experimental outcomes attained indicate that the tribological and mechanical behavior of the AMCs was enriched by an escalation in mass proportionate to the ZrB2 filler content.
C.A.P.I. Project in the Making: 3D Applications at Poggio Imperiale Between Materiality and Virtual Reality (Poggibonsi, IT)
Authors: Bertoldi Stefano 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
The archaeological project on the hill of Poggio Imperiale began in 1992. From the beginning this project was characterized by intense experimentation with a range of IT applications. During 2014, the University of Siena began a new project focused on the valorisation of archaeological data with the creation of an Open-Air Museum of the Carolingian village, one of the archaeological phases of the settlement. Over the last several years, the use of three-dimensional (3D) data in archaeology has increased exponentially due to the application of photogrammetry to record every stratigraphic unit. This ever-increasing amount of data fostered the development of the C.A.P.I. project (Collina Accessibile di Poggio Imperiale – Accessibility of the Hill of Poggio Imperiale), which involved the construction of a 3D model of the archaeological area of Poggio Imperiale. The project modeled the three main life stages of the hill using 3D computer graphics. Virtual tours can be experienced through PCs, tablets, smartphones, and even virtual reality headsets, offering users a fully immersive experience. However, virtual reality will not be a replacement for the materiality of the archaeological site. On the contrary, it will provide an additional tool to make the site accessible and inclusive to any potential visitor, regardless of physical distance, physical ability, or time zone.
Surviving a natural disaster as a semiotic reformation of the self and worldview
Authors: Delante Nimrod L. 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Theoretically, this study is framed within the semiotic tradition of communication theory, which theorizes communication as the intersubjective mediation by signs. Methodologically, this study is guided by Peirce’s semiotic ideas, especially his writing about the commens and commind, or the sign and the object, and the power of a community (constitutive of the self as researcher and the self as one with participants) as the final interpretant performing the process of sensemaking. Results showed how the survivors of a natural calamity symbolically interacted with such calamity, and how this led to a reformation of the way they view themselves and the world. The survivors’ symbolic images captured in narratives, in sketches and drawings, and in poetry helped them to reframe their sense of self and their worldview by believing in common sense and intuition, and by valuing the power of courage, initiative, preparedness, hope, and resilience. An unfortunate irony emerged in their symbolic interaction with the disaster such that their sinning and self-inflicted blame made them think they were worthy of punishment. Nonetheless, this unfortunate irony will change if the survivors continue to reflect on their civic roles, interrogate their environmental and political contexts, and expand their awareness and social consciousness. As these unfold, the survivors will be able to accomplish empowerment, emancipation, and an independent mind.

The first Hungarian city monograph, the Antiquitatum et Historiae Sabariensis ab origine usque ad praesens tempus libri novem by István Schönvisner was published in 1791, commissioned by János Szily, the first bishop of Szombathely. Their correspondence can be found in the Library of the Diocese of Szombathely, from which we can get aquinted with the process of the creation, throught about sixty letters: for example the selection of the resources, the illustration, or the other professionals involved in the publication of the book. In this paper I seek to figure out a few particular essential phases of the nearly five years of work, the problems appeared during this time, based on their correspondence.
Effect of dydrogesterone on the hormonal profile and concentration of progesterone-induced blocking factor in pregnant women with threatened abortion
Authors: Kalinka Jaroslaw , Szekeres-Bartho Julia 
Published: October 2021

Problem: The therapeutic value of progestogens in threatened abortion is still under debate. In the presence of sufficient progesterone levels during pregnancy, lymphocytes synthesize a mediator [progesterone-induced blocking factor (PIBF)] that is anti-abortive in mice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dydrogesterone on pregnancy outcome of threatened aborters.
Method of study: Twenty-seven threatened aborters were treated for 10 days with dydrogesterone (30-40 mg/day). Sixteen healthy pregnant controls received no treatment. Serum progesterone and estradiol concentrations as well as urine PIBF concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results: Pregnancy outcomes in dydrogesterone-treated threatened aborters did not statistically differ from those in healthy controls. Serum progesterone concentrations in control patients, but not those in threatened aborters increased as pregnancy progressed. Following dydrogesterone treatment, initially low PIBF concentrations of threatened aborters significantly increased (P = 0,001) to reach the PIBF level found in healthy controls.

Ambalaj tasarımları, tüketicileri satın alma noktasında doğrudan etkileyebilen bir iletişim aracıdır. Tüketiciler, alışveriş için kısa bir süreye sahiptir. Dolayısıyla markalar, ambalaj tasarımları ile rakip ürünlerden farklılaşmayı sağlamaktadır. Bu sebeple ürünler için dizayn edilen ambalaj tasarımları ve materyalleri günümüz dünyası için önemli bir yer tutmaktadır.
Bireyler için farklı tasarımlar oluşturan markalar, çocuklar için de farklı ambalajlar tasarlamaktadır. Literatürde bu konu kapsamında yapılmış çalışmalar mevcuttur. Ancak konunun önemi ile kıyaslandığında bu alan için yapılan çalışmaların sayıca yetersiz olduğu görülmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, ambalajlarda kahraman kullanımının, okul öncesi çocukların satın alma davranışı üzerindeki etkisini ortaya koymaktır. Literatürde bu konuda yeterli çalışmanın bulunmaması araştırmanın özgün değerini oluşturmaktadır. Ayrıca literatürdeki çalışmalardan farklı olarak, iki farklı veri toplama aracı ile gerçekleştirilmesi araştırmanın ikinci özgün değerini oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın ilk kısmında deneysel serim, ikinci kısmında anket kullanılmıştır. Kolayda örneklem yoluyla toplamda 813 veri elde edilmiştir. Verileri test etmek için One Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov ve Ki-Kare analizlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçları çocuk tüketicilere yönelik ambalaj tasarımında kahraman kullanımının önemine işaret etmektedir.
Inventing the New Art World: On Art Institutions and Their Audience
Authors: Grigar Ewa 
Published: October 2021

Howard S. Becker (2005 [1982]) and Vera L. Zolberg (1990) suggested the advent of new audiences to be one of the main common motors of change in artistic practice, where art institutions play an important role in delivering both aesthetic and educational experiences, but can also be criticized for persistent exclusivity and for how they create a participatory environment.
The aim of this article is to examine the present-day relationship of art museums and galleries with their audiences while taking into account the role played by the advent of a new sociology of art, museum sociology, and the audience development, with all of them questioning the role of museums as socio-cultural institutions focused on the democratization of culture. By employing empirical research conducted in selected art institutions in the Czech Republic and Poland, I will examine how young visitors view art institutions in light of their recent quest for becoming the inclusive platforms of gaining knowledge about art, which promote and facilitate active participation rather than passive consumption.

Abstract

The cellular mechanisms underlying cognitive impairments in heart failure (HF) remain unknown. Although HF-induced neuroinflammation and hypoxia in the hippocampus have been reported in humans and rodents, whether and how these processes are causally connected remains unexplored. Here we report that microglial Angiotensin II (AngII) signaling in the hippocampus is a crucial component in HF-induced neuroinflammation. We found microglial-specific upregulation of the AngII receptor AT1a that coincided with a hypoxic state, but preceded cytokine production. In addition to hippocampal apoptotic clusters, HF rats displayed progressive angiogenesis, migration of AT1a-positive microglia to blood vessels, and disruption of BBB integrity. Treatment of HF rats with the AT1 receptor antagonist losartan reversed neuroinflammation (but not hypoxia), apoptosis and cognitive impairments in HF rats. Taken together, we present here a novel mechanism by which microglial AngII signaling triggers a microglia-dependent neuroinflammatory cascade that contributes to neuronal apoptosis, hippocampal structure deterioration and cognitive decline.

Abstract
Objective: The WHO has stressed to regularly monitor the mental health of populations during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we conducted this study to examine anxiety and depression among recovered and recovering COVID-19 patients. Subjects and Methods: An online survey was conducted using social media platforms. The study participants were COVID-19 infected individuals who had recovered or still were in the recovery phase from COVID-19. We collected information on demographics, clinical characteristics and physical complications of COVID-19. Anxiety and depressive symptoms were assessed using previously validated tools. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were applied to analyze the data. Results: 53.4% of respondents reported that they had a fear of getting COVID-19 again. Anxiety and depressive symptoms were present in 71.7% and 97.6% of respondents respectively. Both disorders were present in 71.3% of respondents. The respondents with shorter durations of physical symptoms (< 2 weeks) demonstrated less anxiety (OR = 0.19; 95% CI: 0.05 - 0.67) and depression (OR = 0.03; 95% CI: 0.01 - 0.37). Conclusion: Anxiety and depression appear as common psychological complications in COVID-19 recovering and recovered patients. Longer durations of COVID-19 related physical symptoms were associated with an increased likelihood of anxiety and depression.
Detecting Forest Fire Area using Landsat Images: A Case Study of Manang District, Nepal
Authors: Thapa Pawan 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Background: Wildfires are on the rise for various reasons, including hunting, the growth of new plants, and the encroachment of forest regions, particularly in developing countries. As a result, it will lose its environment, property, wildlife, and human life. Methods: It generates a burn severity map that can estimate the extent of wildfire damage. The nine bands and vegetation indices are derived using Google Earth Engine (GEE) and the Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) platform from Landsat 8 satellite imagery. The Manang district employs wavelengths near-infrared (NIR) and shortwave-infrared (SWIR) to determine burnt patches and burn severity. Results: According to the evaluation, 26 percent of forest fires have moderate, low, high, and higher severity; however, 30 percent of unburned and low-severity fires receive a severity rating of 37 percent. Thus, it shows a considerable rise in wildfires in the Manang area. Conclusion: In general, it has been a novel technique for recognizing wildfire hotspots and mapping their intensity in higher elevations that takes fewer resources and time. Such necessary data assists vital stakeholders, communities, and decision-makers in making well-informed decisions.
The Role of Agricultural Extension Programs On Crop Farming Technical Efficiency
Authors: Lampach Nicolas , Nguyen-Van Phu , To-The Nguyen , Nguyen-Anh Tuan 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Extension services have become the gold standard for agricultural development programs to spur farm productivity and enhance farmers’ livelihood. Scholars from distinct strands of research have contested the virtues of these programs as systematic reviews failed to disentangle the different causal paths. We aim to unpack the relationship between these two constructs, and more specifically explore the main determinants causing systematic variabilities of the technical efficiency estimates from well-known published crop-farming studies. A meta-regression analysis is implemented by collating 335 observations from 199 farm-level studies to review the direct impact of agricultural extension activities on farming performance. While the implementation of expansion programs tends to be non-randomly distributed in our sample, we employ the inverse probability of treatment weighting to correct for potential selection bias. The absence of a publication bias in found studies our meta-analysis is empirically identified. Our empirical findings are robust when multiple imputation method is employed to mitigate the missingness of observations. Consonant with the theory of agricultural extension, we find that extension significantly improves technical efficiency by 4.8% to 7.6%. Farm productivity significantly differs in country level characteristics, type of crops and model specification.JEL Classification: Q16, O18, C14, C29
Phenotypic Characterization and Molecular Mapping of Recessive Resistance To Meloidogyne Javanica in Cucumber, Cucumis Sativus
Authors: Rutter William Brock , Hajihassani Abolfazl , Wang Yuhui , Wang Yiqun 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
The Javanese root-knot nematode (JRKN, Meloidogyne javanica) is a serious pest of cucumber (Cucumis sativus) grown in tropical and subtropical regions. The recessive mj resistance gene first identified in the wild cucumber (C. sativus var. hardwickii), is the only known source of resistance to JRKN within the C. sativus gene pool. Despite its potential utility as a nematode management tool, the mj trait has yet to be fully characterized or widely incorporated into commercial cucumber lines. In this study, we mapped the mj resistance locus to a 148-kb interval on cucumber chromosome 1 by phenotyping a recombinant inbred line (RIL) and targeted backcross populations. The genomic interval is predicted to contain 36 candidate genes, including several known to be directly related to plant defense against pathogens. We also conducted histological comparisons of nematode development in mj resistant and susceptible lines, providing evidence that the mechanism of action for this gene may be different from that of known RKN resistance genes. These results provide a set of tightly linked markers that can assist breeding programs seeking to incorporate mj resistance into new cucumber varieties. The candidate genes will also provide a starting point for further research into the mechanisms of action that underlay the mj-regulated JRKN resistance.

Published: October 2021

Abstract
Purpose: About 30% to 40% of patients with pituitary adenoma require surgery. About 25% to 40% of those who have had surgery will have an aggressive outcome. The purpose of this study was to see if certain clinicopathologic factors such as size, type/subtype, invasiveness, proliferative (ki-67, mitotic rate, and p53), and grade influenced the aggressiveness of postoperative pituitary adenomas. Methods: The factors mentioned in the research objectives were examined as independent variables. Ten studies out of 736 were chosen. The 10 studies had 2727 participants and 632 cases. The monitoring lasted 3-11 years. The studies' quality ranged from fair to excellent. Results: The results of the meta-analysis were: size ≥10mm OR 1,79 (1,29-2,48), corticotroph OR 1,91 (1,41-2,58), invasive OR 3,67 (1,95-6,90), proliferative OR 4,78(3,61-6,32), Ki-67 ≥ 3% OR 4,13 (2,94-5,81), mitotic rate > 2 OR 3,91 (2,74-5,57), p53 positive OR 1,92 (1,28-2,90), and grade 2b OR 4,56 (3,0-6,91). Conclusions: Size, type/subtype, invasiveness, proliferative (ki-67, mitotic rate, and p53), and grade of postoperative pituitary adenoma influenced the postoperative aggressiveness outcome.
