Don Kichoci, Podziemni i Rewizjoniści. Postawy środkowoeuropejskich pisarzy wobec wolności
Authors: Firlej Agata 
Published: August 2021

The article uses comparative methodology and juxtaposes the attitudes of Polish, Czech and, to a lesser extent, Ukrainian authors towards freedom obtained after 1989. The author distinguishes three main attitudes, calling them “Don Quixotes”, “Undergrounders” and “Revisionists”. The first type is related to retrotopic thinking and means attempts to mystify reality in order to counteract the degradation of the writer’s role in society. Don Quixotes try to fight the rules of the new postcommunistic time, emphasizing their role in the idealized past. The writers associated with the underground during the communism, such as Yuri Andrukhovych, Jáchym Topol, Petr Placák or Tomasz Jastrun, react differently: they are sensitive to attempts of political misusing of the works of culture. The younger generation of authors, called in this text “Revisionists”, born most often after the collapse of totalitarianism, tries to revise the social discourse and historical myths and express all what has been so far unspoken and “rotting”. This formation includes, among others, Radka Denemarková, Kateřina Tučková, Magdalena Platzová or Stanislav Biler.

The presented text includes a review of various philosophical approaches to freedom categories, which, according to the author, is a relational term and experience. In his arguments, the researcher discusses freedom in correlation with i.a. such topics as independence, rootedness, sovereignty, the ability to act autonomously and to make independent decisions, etc. In his contemplations, the author elucidates the category of freedom both from a negative and a positive point of view, referring to the thoughts of Epictetus, G.W.F. Hegel, H. Bergson, F. Nietsche, E. Mounier, J.P. Sartre, R. Ingarden, and M. Buber.
Zajełdyz. O postkolonialnych aspektach Jakucji Jegora Radowa
Authors: Łaniewski Paweł 
Published: August 2021

The author analyzes the relationship between post-colonialism and postmodernism on the basis of Egor Radov’s novel Yakutia. The two currents are interrelated and affect both the aesthetics and the structure of the works. Their Russian variants, due to their particular interpretation of the colonial issue, are very different from the Western models. Yakutia is an example of a postmodern novel in which the post-colonial context is a background for philosophical and socio-political reflections. The novel combines various motifs characteristic of the genre of dystopia, popular in Russian postmodernism.

WITHDRAWN: Atropine Reverts the Neurobehavioral Toxicity Elicited by Acute Exposure to Buprofezin in Sprague Dowley Rats
Authors: Aslam Muhammad 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Buprofezin (BPFN) is a thiadiazine insecticide that inhibits chitin synthesis and the moulting in case of white flies, mealybugs and leaf hoppers. The exposed insects are unable to shed their cuticle and ultimately die as moulting ensue. Neurobehavioral toxic effects elicited by buprofezin remained unclear. Furthermore, the reversal of buprofezin induced neurobehavioral toxicity by atropine was not elaborated. Thus, we explored the neurobehavioral toxic consequences of acute buprofezin exposure in adult male rats and effective reversal of these changes by pretreatment with atropine as an antidote. Acute administration of commercial buprofezin (87.9mg/kg/day through oral gavage with corn oil as vehicle) induce a wide range of neurobehavioral toxicity including damage to pyramidal cells of hippocampal CA1, and CA3,region and behavioral impairments as demonstrated through, loss of motor coordination, locomotor activity, fear loss, hearing, sensorimotor, cognitive and spatial navigation impairment following the exposure .These neurobehavioral toxic effect of acute buprofezin exposure were significantly reversed by the 15 min pre-treatment of atropine antidote before the buprofezin administration. Pre-treated atropine (20mg/kg/day;i.p) attenuates the neurobehavioral toxicity induced by buprofezin in male rats. It was suggested that acute buprofezin exposure elevated the acetylcholine level, by inhibiting the synthesis and release of acetylcholine esterase (AChE) in synapse. But the complete mechanisms are remained to be elucidated
Ganga River Water Quality Assessment using Combined Approaches: Physico-Chemical Parameters and Cyanobacterial Toxicity Detection with Special Reference to Microcystins and Molecular Characterization of Microcystin Synthetase (Mcy) Genes Carrying Cyanobacteria

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Water quality assessment relies mostly on physico-chemical based characterization however, eutrophication and climate change advocate the abundance of toxic microcystins (MCs) producing cyanobacteria as emerging bio-indicator. In the present study, a spatial-temporal analysis was carried out at ten sampling sites of Prayagraj and Varanasi during June 2017 and March 2018 to determine the Ganga River water quality using physico-chemical parameters, cyanobacteria diversity, detection of MCs producing strains and MC-LR equivalence. Coliform bacteria, COD, NO3-N and phosphate are the significant contaminated parameters favoring the growth of putative MCs producing cyanobacteria. National Sanitation Foundation WQI (NSFWQI) indicates water quality, either bad or medium category at sampling points. The morphological analysis confirms the occurrence of diverse cyanobacterial genera such as Microcystis, Anabaena, Oscillatoria, Phormidium etc. PCR amplification affirmed the presence of toxic microcystin (mcy) genes in uncultured cyanobacteria at all the sampling sites. The concentration of MC-LR equivalence in water samples by protein phosphatase 1 inhibition assay (PPIA) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods was observed in the range of 23.4–172 ng/L and 13.2–97.5 ng/L respectively which is lower than the harmful exposure limit by World Health Organization (WHO). Ganga isolate 1 was identified as Microcystis based on partial 16S rDNA sequence and its toxicity was confirmed due to presence of mcy genes and MCs production potential. These findings suggest the presence of MCs producers as new emerging parameter to monitor water quality index and identification up to species level will be valuable for restoration strategies of river Ganga.

Authors: Mohadesi Majid , Gouran Ashkan , Seifi Kiarash 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
This study investigated the removal of an organic drug called ibuprofen from the wastewater containing this drug. Iron oxide supported on modified Iranian clinoptilolite was used as the photocatalyst in the presence of the light of a solar lamp. XRD, SEM, EDAX and FT-IR analyses were performed to detect the prepared photocatalyst. The results of photocatalytic identification analyses proved the suitable loading of iron oxide supported on modified Iranian clinoptilolite. This study investigated the effect of initial concentration of ibuprofen (5–25 mg/L), photocatalyst concentration (100–300 mg/L), and process time (10–240 min) on the removal from ibuprofen from wastewater containing this drug. The experiments were performed in a setup in the presence of a solar lamp with a flux of 300 W/m2. The results indicated that with the initial ibuprofen concentration of 25 mg/L, photocatalyst concentration of 300 mg/L, and time of 210 min, the highest percentage of ibuprofen removal was 99.80%. Kinetic modeling was then performed using the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model, and a quasi-first-order kinetic model showed a good agreement with the results obtained. Finally, the recovery of the photocatalyst was investigated and the results showed that under optimal conditions about 91% of ibuprofen was removed after five re-uses of the photocatalyst.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background: The social isolation due to the COVID-19-related lockdown has had an impact on social media consumption around the world. This study examines the relationship between fear of COVID-19, maladaptive Facebook use and disordered eating. Methods: Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyse two-wave survey data (T0: Italian first lockdown; T1: after two months) from 115 Italian subjects (91.3% females; mean age = 28.60 ± 7.31) with self-reported dysfunctional eating behaviors. Participants were assessed on Facebook use, dysfunctional eating cognitions, and fear of COVID-19. Results: Participants’ disordered eating cognitions increased during the pandemic. At T0, higher fear of COVID-19 was positively associated to time spent on Facebook, which in turn predicted disordered eating cognitions at T1. Moreover, maladaptive Facebook use mediated the relationship between daily time on Facebook and Shape concerns.Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest an influence of dysfunctional Facebook use in increasing disordered eating cognitions during the pandemic.

A Systematic Study of Motif Pairs That May Facilitate Enhancer-Promoter Interactions
Authors: Wang Saidi , Hu Haiyan , Li Xiaoman 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background
Pairs of interacting transcription factors (TFs) have previously been shown to bind to enhancers and promoters and contribute to their physical interactions. However, to date, we have limited knowledge about such TF pairs. To fill this void, we systematically studied the co-occurrence of TF-binding motifs in interacting enhancer-promoter (EP) pairs in seven human cell lines.
Results
We discovered 423 motif pairs that significantly co-occur in enhancers and promoters of interacting EP pairs. We demonstrated that these motif pairs are biologically meaningful and significantly enriched with motif pairs of known interacting TF pairs. We also showed that the identified motif pairs facilitated the discovery of the interacting EP pairs. The predicted motifs and motif pairs are available at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.14192000.
Conclusions
Our study provides a comprehensive list of motif pairs that may contribute to EP physical interactions, which facilitate to generate meaningful hypotheses for experimental validation.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common type of interstitial pneumonia. Lung cancer, mainly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), is a complication of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. IPF is also an independent risk factor of lung cancer. Some studies have shown that the complement system can promote the progression of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis. In addition, C1q has also demonstrated to exert a tumor-promoting effect in many tumors. However, the role of C1q in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer still remain unclear.Methods: We selected common differentially expressed genes in IPF and non-small cell lung cancer using datasets from GEO, and investigated common hub gene. The hub genes were validated in IPF by establishing mouse model of IPF and using another four datasets from the GEO. Multiple databases were analyzed including those of Kaplan–Meier Plotter, Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER2.0) and the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) for NSCLC. Results: In this study, 37 common DEGs were identified in IPF and NSCLC including 32 up-regulated genes and 5 down-regulated genes, and C1q was identified as common hub gene. The methylation status of C1q decreased and the expression levels of C1q increased in both lung cancer and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer and IPF patients with high levels of C1q is poor. Conclusions: These results show that C1q participates in pulmonary fibrosis and non-small cell lung cancer, and may be a potential diagnostic / prognostic biomarker or a therapeutic target.
Effects of Algal Utilization of Dissolved Organic Phosphorus by Microcystis Aeruginosa on its Adaptation Capability to Ambient Ultraviolet Radiation

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) plays an important role in eutrophication and algal adaptation to environmental stresses; therefore, a better understanding of the impact of P is essential to control cyanobacterial bloom. In this study, Microcystis aeruginosa was treated with 5-h of ambient irradiation in the culture medium with different availability of dissolved organic P (DOP) and dissolved organic matter (DOM), to explore algal responses. Compared to photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), ambient UV-A and UV-B radiation exerted oxidative stresses and had inhibitive effects on the growth and photosynthesis of M. aeruginosa in DOP-rich medium. However, M. aeruginosa had a strong adaptation capability and the negative effects of UV radiation were eliminated with DOM addition (5 mg L− 1 humic acid [HA]). Combining dissolved inorganic P (DIP) and DOP contents in the culture medium, adaptation of M. aeruginosa to UV radiation in the DOP-rich waters could be mainly achieved through the hydrolysis of DOP and metabolism of DIP, and the DOP utilization behaviors of M. aeruginosa greatly affected its UV adaptation capability. In DOP-rich medium without DOM, APase inactivation after UV radiation negatively affected DOP utilization by M. aeruginosa, and algal P demand for UV adaptation could not be fully met. DOM could act as an antioxidant and greatly decreased APase inactivation after UV radiation, when M. aeruginosa utilized DOP faster to produce more DIP and to increase algal carotenoid, phycocyanin production and its superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the DOP-rich medium, resulting in a strong UV adaptation capability. Consequently, M. aeruginosa showed the lowest adaptation capability to UV radiation in the DOP-free medium. Overall, our findings indicated the close relationship of algal DOP utilization and its adaptation to ambient UV radiation of typical cyanobacteria in DIP-limited and DOP-enriched natural waters.
A Hybrid Bandwith Allocation Algorithm for EPON-WiMAX Integrated Networks Based on Auction Process
Authors: Maher Mohamed Ahmed , El-samie Fathi Abd , Zahran Osama 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Integration of Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) and WiMAX technologies is viewed as a great solution for next-generation broadband access networks. In the systems adopting this strategy, weighty bandwidth allocation schemes are fundamental to fulfil the quality of service (QoS) and fairness requirements of different traffic classes. Existing proposals to overcome the bandwidth allocation problem in EPON/WiMAX networks dismiss collaboration between the self-interested EPON and WiMAX service providers (WSPs). This study presents a novel EPON-based semi-dynamic bandwidth allocation (S-DBA) method that shows points of interest in the integration process. In the proposed algorithm depending on the auction process, the optical line terminal runs an auction to adequately post the optical network unit bandwidth that distributes the most elevated bidders based on the measurement of the accessible bandwidth. Simulation results demonstrate massive upgrades compared with fair sharing using dual-service-level agreements, ‘limited service’ interleaved polling with adaptive cycle time methods, bandwidth allocation strategy using Stackelberg game, and bandwidth allocation strategy using coalition game regarding the quality of service parameters such as throughput and time delay. This will be extremely helpful for optical system upgrading and improvement with minimal effort.
Universe: the dynamics of the minimum and maximum expansion states
Authors: Petrakis Sócrates 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Two hypotheses stand out in describing the evolution of the Universe. The predominant one predicts that the current expansion began at a certain instant and will not preserve any variation of energy that performs work; apparent flat Universe (Ω = 1) is advocated by relativistic calculations and observational data, with an end or thermal death at its maximum expansion (3D Space). The other hypothesis considers that the Universe is cyclical (always alternating phases of expansion and contraction). This proposal aims to demonstrate that both hypotheses can be correct by not being distinct, but complementary. Supported by the immutability of physical laws, analyses of concepts such as space, mass, energy, gravity, spin, and entropy define an exclusive presence of 1D Space in the minimum and maximum expansion states of the Universe. With our 3D Space Universe created and existing between these extreme states, a complete universal evolution is outlined. More objectively, all the exposed dynamics complements the usual relativity. The concept of complete rest energy (1D Space) was able to be applied, demonstrating that the complete evolution of the Universe is spatially dynamic in a perpetual time dimension, always recreating our Universe.
Genome-wide Survey of the Dehydrin Genes in Bread Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) and its Relatives: Identification, Evolution and Expression Profiling Under Various Abiotic Stresses
Authors: Hao Yongchao , Hao Ming , Wang Hongwei 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background: Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is an important and fundamental cereal worldwide. With increasingly severe environmental stress, it is very important to mine stress-resistant genes for wheat breeding. Dehydrin (DHN) genes are primary candidates because they are involved in the response to many stressors. Results: Here, a genome-wide analysis of this gene family was performed on the genomes of wheat and its three relatives. A total of 55 DHN genes in Triticum aestivum, 31 in Triticum dicoccoides, 15 in Triticum urartu, and 16 in Aegilops tauschii were identified. The phylogenetic, synteny, sequence and protein structure analyses showed that the DHN genes were divided into five groups, Genes in the same group share similar conserved motifs, protein structures, and potential functions. The tandem TaDHN genes responded strongly to drought, cold and high salinity stresses, while the non-tandem genes were responded weakly to all stress conditions. Further, multiple DHN proteins cooperation maybe an important way to prevent plants from abiotic stress according to the interaction network analysis. Conclusions: Conserved, duplicated DHN genes may have played an important role in the adaptation of wheat to a variety of conditions, hence, contributing to the distribution of bread wheat as a global staple food. This research illuminates the contributions of DHN genes to abiotic stresses in Triticeae species and offers helpful information for further functional study of DHN genes in these crops.
