Abstract
Specific and accurate diagnostic tools are important to determine diagnosis for various lung diseases with complex characteristics. In this study, high-energy milling (HEM) was utilized to prepare micro-sized carbon from palm kernel shell charcoal as a potential aerosol agent for lung ventilation scintigraphy. The HEM parameters investigated in this experiment were milling time and ball-to-powder ratio (BPR), while the characterization of the obtained powder involves particle size distribution, porosity, specific surface area, and XRD pattern. The optimization of technetium-99m (99mTc) labeling of the obtained carbon powder was carried out concerning SnCl2 amount, carbon dosage, incubation time, and pH. The optimal milling time and BPR were 180 min and 5:1, respectively, resulting in Dx(50) of 1.71 µm. Generally, the 99mTc labeling yield increased with the increase of SnCl2 amount, carbon dosage, and incubation time, while it decreased as the pH increased. The optimal 99mTc labeling condition, SnCl2 amount of 300 µg, carbon dosage of 50 mg, incubation time of 30 min, and pH 5, resulted in an adsorption capacity of 178.89 TBq of 99mTc/g carbon. These results demonstrate that aerosol scintigraphy agents can potentially be prepared from palm kernel shell charcoal with optimization of radiolabeling method, milling process, and further in vitro aerosol performance prior to pre-clinical and clinical stages.

BackgroundAdiposity may be associated with thyroid nodularity. However, its impact on the number of nodules and the risk of malignancy is unclear.AimTo evaluate the impact of adiposity on thyroid nodules using body mass index (BMI), ultrasonographic (US) data and cytological data.MethodsA retrospective cohort study of 310 patients with thyroid nodules was performed. Patients were categorized based on their BMI, and grayscale US data and fine-needle aspiration cytology results were evaluated.ResultsPatients with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 were found to have a higher number of thyroid nodules compared to those with BMI < 25 kg/m2 (4.25 ± 2.42 vs 3.66 ± 1.93) (P value = 0.05). Patients with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 had more suspicious and malignant cytology than those with BMI < 25 kg/m2 (P value = 0.029). Patients with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 had more nodules with intermediate and high suspicion sonographic patterns. However, this did not reach statistical significance.ConclusionOverweight and obese patients have a trend for more thyroid nodules and have a higher risk of being diagnosed with thyroid malignancy.
Altered uterine leptin signalling in obese mothers: from impaired decidualisation to pregnancy complications

Published: December 2024

In briefMaternal obesity impairs uterine function, compromising embryo implantation and pregnancy establishment, posing also long-term risks to offspring health. We explore the contribution of impaired decidualisation to failed embryo implantation and placentation in obese mothers, highlighting the role of altered uterine leptin signalling in the dysregulation of extracellular matrix remodelling, vascularisation and cell proliferation and differentiation.AbstractObesity drastically affects maternal health and reproductive outcomes, being often associated with endocrine imbalance, compromised ovarian function and pregnancy complications. The plastic nature of pregnancy may render the developing foetus particularly vulnerable to oscillations in maternal metabolism, ultimately shaping the health trajectories of the offspring. Presently, we discuss the effect of maternal obesity on decidualisation, a critical step for embryo implantation and placental development. Decidualisation encompasses the differentiation of endometrial stromal cells into specialised decidua. Impaired decidualisation was linked to pregnancy complications, and recent studies suggest that maternal obesity has a detrimental effect on decidualisation. Leptin, an adipokine significantly increased in the circulation of obese women, is known to regulate endometrial function and decidualisation, modulating immune response, angiogenesis and cell proliferation. Furthermore, hyperleptinaemia in obese mothers was linked to altered leptin signalling in the uterus and compromised endometrial function. In this review, we explore the underlying molecular mechanisms linking altered uterine leptin signalling to impaired decidualisation and early pregnancy complications in obese mothers.
Interclusión. Aproximaciones epistemológicas y didácticas para el devenir educativo contemporáneo
Authors: Román-Soto David 
Published: December 2024

Objective. This essay aims to reflect on the pressing issue of migration in the Latin American region, and particularly Chile, a country that has experienced a considerable increase in the influx of foreign population into its territory in recent years. Discussion. This analysis addresses the challenges and possibilities that migration presents to socio-educational transformation, from a new epistemic perspective of inclusion and interculturality. This perspective favors the full integration of foreign students into diverse educational contexts. Although inclusion and interculturality are relevant to the current reality and theoretically enrich each other, they do not engage in dialogue concerning public policy and, therefore, do not promote the development of a new local and diverse identity. Conclusion. From an intersectional perspective, this article proposes the concept of interclusion, which emerges from the interrelation of inclusion, interculturality, and identity. Interclusion serves as a response to reflection, analysis, and development of pedagogical and learning practices that are attentive to multicultural realities. It also serves as a response to the constant challenge of improving pedagogical and didactic processes to advance in the construction of Latin American knowledge.

Authors: В.А. МУКИН , А.О. ФЕДОРОВ 
Published: December 2024

Рассматривается вопрос о возникновении науки как целостного корпуса достоверного знания. Предложен новый синтетический подход, в рамках которого возникновение науки интерпретируется как столкновение двух кардинально разных традиций: средневековой схоластики и естественной философии Нового времени.
The article considers the emergence of science as a totality of reliable knowledge. A new synthetic approach is proposed that interprets the emergence of science as a collision of two radically different traditions - medieval scholasticism and natural philosophy of modern times. The theory of types of scientific rationality by V.S. Stepin is reconstructed and an extrapolation of post-non-classical rationality tendencies to the near future is proposed.

ПРИЧИННОСТЬ В СОЦИАЛЬНЫХ НАУКАХ
Authors: А.А. САНЖЕНАКОВ 
Published: December 2024

В статье рассматривается проблема применения понятий «причина» и «причинность» в социальных науках. Автор обращается к аналитической философии, где активно обсуждались вопрос легитимности использования этих понятий в научном исследовании и проблема возможности построения общественных наук по образцу естественных наук. На основании проведенного исследования показано, что позиция того или иного философа по стратегии построения наук об обществе зависит от его понимания роли причинности в объяснении действий отдельного человека. Сторонники стандартной (каузальной) теории действия настроены позитивистски и полагают, что общественные науки должны использовать методы и подходы естественных наук. Представители антикаузального крыла, напротив, считают, что социальные науки должны использовать свою методологию. Таким образом, решение данной проблемы должно предваряться разработкой теории действия.
The article deals with the problem of applying the concepts of “cause” and “causality” in social sciences. The author refers to analytical philosophy, where the issue of the legitimacy of using these concepts in scientific research and the problem of the possibility of building social sciences on the model of natural sciences were actively discussed. The study shows that the position of a particular philosopher concerning the strategy of building social sciences depends on his understanding of the role of causality in explaining the actions of an individual. Proponents of the standard (causal) theory of action take a positivist position and believe that social sciences should use the methods and approaches of natural sciences. On the contrary, representatives of the anti-causal wing believe that social sciences should use their own methodology. Hence, the solution of this problem should be preceded by the development of a theory of action.

Authors: Rubini P.E. , Kavitha P. 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThe automated system for enhancing plant growth presents an innovative approach to optimize quality of sugarcane cultivation for four main sugarcane growing zones. It includes issues like recommendation of crops based on soil nutrients, diagnosis of disease in the leaf and stem images of sugarcane, weed detection and harvesting time prediction. The research work proposed in the article presents an innovative two-stage approach for object detection and classification in agricultural imagery. Initially, YOLOv8 (You Only Look Once) is employed to accurately detect objects within images, delineating them with precise boundary boxes. Subsequently, the focus of hybrid model integrating Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, known as Contextual Long Short-Term Memory (CLSTM), is employed. This dual-stage methodology harnesses the speed and accuracy of YOLOv8 for robust object localization, while the CLSTM model ensures nuanced classification, contributing to comprehensive and accurate approach for object detection and crop-weed differentiation in agricultural scenarios. The proposed approach is compared with the four DL algorithms for identifying weeds in sugarcane crops and subsequently assessed their accuracy and F1 score performance. At a learning rate of 0.002, the findings of CLSTM showcase superior precision at 98.5%, recall at 97.8%, F1 score at 98.1%, and an overall accuracy of 97.7%. The subsequent task is harvesting time prediction, which entails identifying the best time to harvest sugarcane based on the planting period, weather predictions, and sugarcane brix value. The implementation of this automated system not only enhances the productivity of sugarcane cultivation but also serves as a model for sustainable and resource-efficient agriculture.

Published: December 2024

AbstractThe development of new solar materials for emerging perovskite photovoltaics poses intricate multi-objective optimization challenges in a large high-dimensional composition and parameter space, with in some cases, millions of potential candidates to be explored. Solving it necessitates reproducible, user-independent laboratory work and intelligent preselection of innovative experimental methods. Materials Acceleration Platforms (MAPs) seamlessly combine robotic materials synthesis, characterization, and AI-driven data analysis, enabling the exploration of new materials. They revolutionize material development by replacing trial-and-error methods with precise, rapid experimentation and generating high-quality data for training machine learning (ML) algorithms. Device Acceleration Platforms (DAPs) focus on optimizing functional energy films and multilayer stacks. Unlike MAPs, DAPs concentrate on refining processing conditions for predetermined materials, crucial for disordered semiconductors. By fine-tuning processing parameters, DAPs significantly advance disordered semiconductor devices such as emerging photovoltaics. This article examines recent advancements in automated laboratories for perovskite material discovery and photovoltaics device optimization, showcasing in-house-developed MAPs and a DAP. These platforms cover the entire value chain, from materials to devices, addressing optimization challenges through robot-based high-throughput experimentation (HTE). Ultimately, a self-driven Autonomous Material and Device Acceleration Platforms (AMADAP) laboratory concept is proposed for autonomous functional solar material discovery using AI-guided combinational approaches.

Published: December 2024

Introduction. The definition of psychological predictors of teacher emotional burnout can enhance scientific understanding of the specific factors contributing to its occurrence in contemporary pedagogical contexts. Additionally, it can identify the individual psychological characteristics of educators that are most susceptible to burnout, thereby facilitating targeted interventions that will aid in the development of effective preventive measures.Aim. The present research aimed to identify and describe the psychological risk factors associated with the occurrence of emotional burnout among teachers.Methodology and research methods. The study of emotional burnout and the psychological characteristics of teachers’ personalities was conducted remotely using the Yandex Forms tool in 2024. A total of 1,054 educators participated in the study. The diagnostic tools package included the following methods: the Emotional Burnout Diagnosis (V. V. Boyko), the Emotional Intelligence Inventory – EmIn (D. V. Lyusin), the Integrative Anxiety Test (A. P. Bizyuk, L. I. Wasserman, B. V. Iovlev), the Motivation of Professional Activity Diagnosis (K. Zamfir, modified by A. Rean), and a methodology for assessing overall job satisfaction. The mathematical and statistical analysis of the results was conducted using descriptive statistics and linear regression analysis, which involved both forced inclusion and sequential exclusion of independent variables.Results. The research findings indicate that the issue of emotional burnout syndrome is indeed a pressing concern for the pedagogical community. Specifically, 16.3% of respondents exhibit a phase of tension, 40% demonstrate a pronounced phase of resistance, and 19.8% of teachers have been diagnosed with a developed phase of exhaustion. Based on regression analysis, a model of psychological risk factors contributing to teachers’ emotional burnout has been constructed.Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty lies in the examination of emotional burnout not only in terms of its prevalence among educators in various educational institutions but also in identifying potential predictors that may serve as risk factors for the development of this professional deformation among teaching staff.Practical significance arises from the potential to utilise the obtained results in developing targeted measures to prevent emotional burnout among teachers.
