Abstract
Recent works have constrained the binary fraction of evolved populations of massive stars in local galaxies such as red supergiants and Wolf–Rayet stars, but the binary fraction of yellow supergiants (YSGs) in the Hertzsprung gap remains unconstrained. Binary evolution theory predicts that the Hertzsprung gap is home to multiple populations of binary systems with varied evolutionary histories. In this paper, we develop a method to distinguish single YSGs from YSG plus O- or B-type main-sequence binaries using optical and ultraviolet photometry, and then apply this method to identify candidate YSG binaries in the Magellanic Clouds. After constructing a set of combined stellar atmosphere models, we find that optical photometry is, given typical measurement and reddening uncertainties, sufficient to discern single YSGs from YSG+OB binaries if the OB-star is at least ∼5M
⊙ for T
eff,YSG ∼ 4000 K, but requires a ∼20M
⊙ OB star for YSGs up to T
eff,YSG ∼ 9000 K. For these hotter YSG temperatures, ultraviolet photometry allows binaries with OB companions as small as ∼7M
⊙ to be identified. We use color–color spaces developed from these models to search for evidence of excess blue or ultraviolet light in a set of ∼1000 YSG candidates in the Magellanic Clouds. We identify hundreds of candidate YSG binary systems and report a preliminary fraction of YSGs that show a blue/UV color excess of 20%–60%. Spectroscopic follow-up is now required to confirm the true nature of this population.
Current Sheet Broadening due to Turbulence in Three-dimensional Collisionless Reconnection
Authors: Fujimoto Keizo 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The present study has investigated the statistical distribution of the current sheet width across the reconnection diffusion region by means of the 3D particle-in-cell simulations. The 3D reconnection layers are unstable to the flow shear instabilities, which results in electromagnetic (EM) turbulence generating effective magnetic dissipation around the x-line. The simulations are performed for several ion-to-electron mass ratios and computational domain sizes, which determine the fastest-growing mode in each simulation run. When the turbulence is weak, the current sheet width increases with the turbulence intensity, following a theoretical curve independent of the mass ratio and domain size. However, when the turbulence is stronger, the width saturates at a low level around 2 times the local electron inertia length, i.e., much smaller than the ion kinetic scales. It is found that the intense inductive electric field due to the EM turbulence is partly canceled out by the eddy viscous effect. As a result, the reconnection electric field is almost unchanged during the quasi-steady phase, regardless of the turbulence intensity. The result implies that the magnetohydrodynamic turbulence models are unlikely to be applicable to the reconnection diffusion region.
The Distance to Dobashi 6193—A Dark Cloud Shadowing the eROSITA Bubbles
Authors: Yeung Michael C. H. , Freyberg Michael J. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We focus on a prominent gas cloud, Dobashi 6193, toward the western base of the northern eROSITA bubble (eRObub). It can potentially put a tight distance constraint on the eRObubs and clarify the emissions of the Loop I superbubble from the eRObubs. We found its distance to be 700 pc based on Gaia DR3 stellar extinction and parallax measurements, making it one of the most distant clouds shadowing the eRObubs well above the Galactic disk.
Revisiting the taxonomy of Korean Ischnochiton species (Polyplacophora, Ischnochitonidae) based on a combined analysis of morphological and molecular data

Published: October 2024

Chiton species belonging to the genus Ischnochiton J. E. Gray, 1847 are commonly found in intertidal rocky shores worldwide, with the exception of the northern Atlantic and Arctic oceans. Ischnochiton species are characterised by imbricate girdle scales that are uniform in size, rounded, sculpted with striae or occasionally smooth. However, their species-level taxonomy is complicated due to the high variation in their shell microstructures. Despite more than a hundred species reported worldwide, taxonomic studies of this group remain relatively unexplored in Korean waters, with only a few species recorded to date.
In this study, we compared the microstructural characteristics of tegmentum sculpture, girdle scales and radula amongst four Korean Ischnochiton species using high-resolution microscopic images and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Along with mtDNA cox1 sequence comparison, a comprehensive analysis of their morphology revealed that I. hayamii Owada, 2018 was identified for the first time in Korean waters. This species is morphologically distinguished by its small body size of adults, smooth lateral areas on valves and small perinotum scales sculptured with weak longitudinal ribs. Phylogenetic analysis of the mtDNA cox1 sequence provides distinct resolution at the species level, but interrelationships amongst Ischnochiton species remain unresolved. Results from the morphological and molecular analyses presented in this study offer valuable taxonomic information for accurate species identification amongst closely-related Ischnochiton species.

L’accueil des mineurs étrangers non accompagnés en Belgique
Authors: Dermine Céline 
Published: October 2024

Le 27 janvier 2003, le Conseil de l’Union européenne a pris une directive relative aux normes minimales pour l’accueil des demandeurs d’asile dans les Etats membres1. Cette directive constitue la première étape d’un processus, initié suite à l’entrée en vigueur du Traité d’Amsterdam2 et suite aux Conseils européens de Tampere3 et de La Haye4, visant l’établissement d’un régime d’asile commun et d’un statut de réfugié uniforme au niveau de l’Union européenne. Son objectif est de fixer des normes minimales sur les conditions d’accueil des demandeurs d’asile afin de leur assurer une vie digne, de leur accorder des conditions de vie comparables dans tous les Etats membres, ainsi que de limiter les mouvements secondaires des demandeurs d’asile, motivés par la diversité des conditions d’accueil.
Politiche e pratiche di accoglienza dei minori stranieri non accompagnati in Italia
Authors: Giovannetti Monia 
Published: October 2024

Nella storia d’Italia la consuetudine ad emigrare in giovanissima età ha origini antiche con particolare accentuazione nel corso dell’800. Come narrano gli storici dell’emigrazione italiana “nelle compagnie di artigiani che già in età moderna si riversavano periodicamente nelle città al di là delle Alpi per offrire i loro servizi o manufatti - venditori di passamanerie, spazzacamini, ramai, impagliatori di sedie, bottai, chiodai, stucchinai e arrotini - i minorenni erano sempre presenti. Nelle zone appenniniche e nelle vallate alpine i bambini, a partire dai 10 anni, venivano consegnati a suonatori e artigiani in base ad un contratto della durata di 30 mesi” [Bianchi, 2002].

Published: October 2024

There is an increased frequency of floods in different parts of the world due to Climate Change and many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa face WASH challenges which have worsened during flood and drought incidences. Tsholotsho District has been experiencing an increased frequency of floods over the years and WASH situation has continuously deteriorated. To build the resilience of communities, there are so many programmes that have been introduced toaddress WASH challenges. The paper aimed at assessing the various determinants influencing the adoption of WASH programmes in flood prone Tsholotsho District. A quantitative approach was used to collect data from Household heads in wards 5, 6, 7, and 8 using Questionnaires. A total of 218 Questionnaires were administered in all four wards. A Probit regression analysis and Zero-inflated ordered logit regression analysis were then done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). This study revealed that the coefficient of access to treated water, gender, source of water, level of education, and marital status is positive and statistically significant with the adoption of WASH programmes by the household head in the study area. These factors were also revealed to influence the level of adoption of WASH programmes.Contribution: There is a positive and significant relationship between access to safe water, source of water, level of education, gender, age and marital status and WASH programmes. Therefore, there is a need to consider the determinants of the adoption of WASH programmes to effectively build the resilience of communities.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT.
Amoebic liver abscess (ALA) is a significant public health concern in tropical countries. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as microscopy, have low sensitivity, and nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) has lengthy turnaround times. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay for detecting Entamoeba histolytica in amoebic liver pus samples. The assay was tested on 150 clinical pus samples collected from suspected ALA patients in the emergency department of a tertiary care center located in Chandigarh, northern India. For comparison with RPA, nPCR was also performed on these samples. Of 150 samples, 79 (53%) tested positive for E. histolytica using the RPA assay, and similar (79; 53%) number of samples tested positive with nested PCR. In addition, sequences obtained through Sanger sequencing showed high similarity with other sequences in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database and were submitted to the database. Our findings highlight the potential of RPA as a valuable tool for the accurate diagnosis of ALA.

Published: October 2024

Purpose: To investigate the effect of SNEDDS containing Curcuma longa extract on hormonal and histological improvement of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) rat model.
Method: A total of 36 female Wistar rats, aged between 8 and 10 weeks, were randomly divided into 6 groups, including control (normal rats), PCOS (untreated PCOS rats), PCOS + M (treated with 20 mg/kg bw/day metformin), PCOS + SC25, PCOS + SC50, and PCOS + SC100 (treated with Curcuma longa extract at 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg/day with SNEDDS, respectively). This study used a posttest-only control group design. The rats were euthanized on day 15, and blood samples were taken to examine malondialdehyde (MDA) and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels. Ovarian tissue was prepared on a histological slide, and various follicles were observed. Data was analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Kruskal-Wallis tests.
Results: Curcuma longa extract, at 50 and 100 mg/kg, incorporated in SNEDDS resulted in a significant reduction in the corpus luteum number and width of the granulosa layer (p < 0.05). Also, Curcuma longa significantly reduced malondialdehyde (MDA), anti-mullerian hormone (AMH), preantral follicles, and follicular cysts (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Curcuma longa extract in SNEDDS reduces MDA and AMH levels and improves the histology of the ovaries in PCOS model rats. There is a need to conduct further studies of C. longa extract or isolates in SNEDDS using human cell lines of PCOS model.

Authors: Wang Dingjun , Shi Lei , Yuan Zhangan 
Published: October 2024

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and safety of lentinan combined with docetaxel and nedaplatin (DN) in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis complicated by non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: A total of 100 patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis combined with NSCLC in Ankang People's Hospital, Ankang, China were randomized equally into study and control groups. Control group received standard anti-tuberculosis therapy and intravenous chemotherapy regimen based on docetaxel (75 mg/m² on day 1) and nedaplatin (80 – 100 mg/m²), while the study group received, in addition, lentinan (given intravenously every two days). The patients received a total of 2 courses of treatment. Tumor response, survival, adverse reactions, quality of life score, and pulmonary function indices were compared before and after treatment.
Results: The study group showed significantly higher total response rate than the control group (p < 0.05). Median overall survival and progression-free survival in the study group was significantly higher than in the control group (p < 0.05). Also, the study group showed significantly lower incidence of adverse reactions compared to control group (p < 0.05). Quality of life score, maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) levels in the study group was significantly higher compared to control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Lentinan combination with DN chemotherapy regimen improves response rate, prolongs survival, reduces incidence of adverse reactions, improves quality of life and pulmonary function in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicated by NSCLC. These findings provide a new perspective for future studies on the application of lentinan in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis complicated by NSCLC.

Published: October 2024

Purpose: To assess the relationship between interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression and the protective effect of curcumin and cacao extract on hepatotoxicity caused by ribociclib.
Method: Sixty adult male albino rats (9 – 10 weeks old) were utilized in this experiment. The rats were separated into six groups (n = 10 each). Group 1 (control) rats received 2 mL of normal saline daily. Group 2 rats were administered 5 mg/kg ribociclib and group 3 rats received 5 mg/kg ribociclib with a cacao dose of 200 mg/kg daily. Group 4 rats were administered 5 mg/kg ribociclib treated with curcumin (200 mg/kg) daily. Groups 5 and 6 were administered cacao and curcumin doses of 200 mg/kg daily. All rats were sacrificed and liver immunohistochemical and histological examinations were performed.
Result: The findings demonstrated that ribociclib administration caused liver damage and morphological changes at a histological level in liver tissue. The immunohistochemical investigation revealed that IL-6 levels were significantly increased in group 2 and control group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, co-administration of curcumin and cacao with ribociclib suppressed the levels of IL-6 expression in the liver tissue of rats compared to control group 1.
Conclusion: Co-administration of curcumin and cacao protects the liver against ribociclib-induced liver damage. It is necessary to determine the effect of long-term administration of these extracts on the functions of some organs such as the liver and kidney.

Authors: Li Sailian , Xing Zengshu , Xu Bao , Huang Xiaoxi , Zhang Jiankang , Zhang Mengyu 
Published: October 2024

Purpose: To study the effect of evodiamine on the signaling pathway of ROS/ICAM-1/Nrf2 in rats with acetic acid-induced stomach ulcers.
Methods: The rats were randomly assigned to five groups containing 10 rats each. Prior to acetic acidinduction of gastric ulcers, omeprazole (4.0 mg/kg/day), low-dose evodiamine (L-EVD, 20 mg/kg/day), and high-dose evodiamine (H-EVD, 40 mg/kg/day) were orally administered to the respective groups for 15 days. Following ulcer induction, the same treatments continued for an additional 7 days, for a total treatment duration of 22 days. The control (0.9 % saline) and acetic acid (model) groups were administered 0.9 % sodium chloride solution (10 mL/kg) for the same period. Thereafter, oxidative stress, inflammatory markers, macroscopic and microscopic evaluations were conducted on the gastric mucosa.
Results: The acetic acid group showed significantly higher levels of oxidative and inflammatory markers, as well as damage and degeneration of the gastric mucosa when compared to control group (p < 0.05). However, both low-dose and high-dose evodiamine treatment groups demonstrated significant gastric healing. Administration of low-dose and high-dose evodiamine resulted in significantly lower levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1, p < 0.05). Furthermore, evodiamine treatment led to significantly increased levels of glutathione (GSH) and nuclear facterythroid factor 2 (Nrf2).
Conclusion: Evodiamine reduces oxidative stress, suppresses inflammatory reactions, and exerts an anti-ulcer effect on acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers in rats by modulating ROS/ ICAM-1/Nrf2 signaling pathway. More studies into the integration of evodiamine into conventional pharmaceutical treatments for gastric ulcers should be conducted.
Genesis of Polish Populism (1945–2023) and its Impact on the Transformation and Support of “Law and Justice”
Authors: Mirzadzhanov T. E. 
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the formation of Polish populism at the present stage represented by the ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS, Prawo i Sprawiedliwosc) using the theoretical apparatus of neoinstitutionalism, as well as historical and comparative approaches. Both general features of populism and those specific to Eastern Europe are considered. The process of development of ideas, practices and results contributing to the rooting of populist values and a picture of the world in the Polish public consciousness is also studied within the framework of the path dependence concept. The final part describes the essential guidelines, ideology, program and electorate of PiS. The party is compared with its main competitor Civic Platform (PO, Platforma Obywatelska) in terms of its strategy, and specific results of PiS rule are also mentioned. Poland is characterized by weak and unstable connections between voters and parties, which leads to the absence of a stable social base and support for parties and, in turn, leads to their constant fragmentation and high party volatility. Parties in Poland have historically been organizations with the lowest level of public trust. In such a context, parties that can truly attract voters will immediately find themselves in a more advantageous position. One of the most suitable methods is therefore simple, often primitive slogans, intransigence of discourse, aggressive rhetoric, unrealistic promises of universal abundance, sharp opposition to everyone else and the rejection of democratic norms of representation in favor of strong leadership, that is, classic populism.
