Study of microwave hardwood board modification and drying: experiments and technical-economic assessment
Authors: Torgovnikov Grigory , Leshchinskaia Alexandra 
Published: October 2024

The very low permeability of many hardwood species causes problems during lumber drying. These include very long drying times, drying defects, large material losses after drying, high energy consumption, and expensive drying processes. Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) is a species which very difficult to dry. Microwave (MW) wood modification and MW drying can provide an increase in wood permeability and solve some hardwood drying problems. Two 60 kW MW conveyor plants at frequencies 2.45 and 0.922 GHz were used for experiments. The study of MW Jarrah (29x87mm) board drying after pre-drying MW modification showed that it is possible to dry boards in the moisture content range from 70 to 10% during 147-159 hours (6 -7 days) using the cycle method of MW power application. Such intensive MW drying does not bring perceptible damage to the wood and provides low variability of moisture content in the board cross sections. The shorter drying times reduce associated capital, space, energy and labor costs whilst the reduction in drying defects can increase yields. A short time of MW drying provides an opportunity to develop conveyor systems for hardwood sawn timber drying. Economic assessment of MW Jarrah board drying showed that a specific drying cost ranges from US$ 50 to $277/m3 at electricity prices from US$0.08 to $0.32/kWh. The electricity costs form the largest share in total specific drying costs - 44 to 82%. Jarrah boards are expensive product and MW drying costs can be acceptable for industry taking into consideration savings provided by fast drying and wood loss reduction.

The method of medication develops following the world of thought and culture of humans. The beliefs in the nonmaterial world have profoundly affected in the early days of traditional medication methods. The period of modern medicine eliminates this belief and offers a more logical understanding of health. The traditional healing methods are not completely lost in these modern times. Its existence can still be found amid rural communities whose minds are reconstructed and isolated by traditional beliefs. The thoughts about health and diseases which come from witchcraft then become a benchmark for them to choose witchery medicine too, which in this case known as dukun. This is then becoming a big problem for the citizens in Silanga Village, where as a result of the belief in black magic possessed by humans to hurt other humans, which in the Kaili Rai Ethnic Language they call the topeule. Those then became the origin of the people to choose dukun (sando) for their medication process. The results of this study indicate that supernatural medical practices are still alive in the midst of the Silanga Village community and are trusted by the community who use them.

Recent efficacy and long-term survival of Astragalus polysaccharide combined with gemcitabine and S-1 in pancreatic cancer
Authors: Li Guang-Yu , Jiang Jing 
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND
Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor with a rapid progression rate and a high susceptibility to infiltration and metastasis. Astragalus polysaccharide (APS), a pure Chinese medicine preparation primarily made from the traditional Chinese herb Astragalus , plays a positive role in the treatment of many malignant tumors.
AIM
To explore the recent efficacy of APS combined with gemcitabine plus tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium capsule (S-1) (GS) regimen in the treatment of pancreatic cancer and assess its effect on the immune function and long-term survival of patients.
METHODS
A total of 97 patients who were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and received GS chemotherapy at The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University (Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine) from March 2021 to December 2021 were included in the retrospective analysis. Among them, 41 patients received APS combined with GS chemotherapy, and 56 patients received GS chemotherapy only. The recent efficacy, immune function, adverse reactions, and long-term survival were compared among these patients.
RESULTS
After 4 cycles of treatment, the objective response rate of patients receiving the combined therapy of APS and GS was 51.22%, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 56.10%, higher than those of patients receiving the monotherapy with GS alone (30.36% and 35.71%, respectively). Besides, the percentages of CD3+ T cells (50.18% ± 9.57%) and CD4+ T cells (31.52% ± 5.33%) in the peripheral blood of patients receiving the combined therapy of APS and GS were higher compared with those treated with GS regimen alone [(44.06% ± 8.55%) and (26.01% ± 7.83%), respectively]. Additionally, the incidences of leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and fatigue in patients receiving the combined therapy of APS and GS were significantly lower than those in patients receiving the monotherapy of GS alone (17.07%, 9.76%, 31.71% vs 37.50%, 28.57%, 60.71%). Moreover, the median survival time of patients receiving the combined therapy of APS and GS was 394 days, significantly longer than that of patients receiving the monotherapy of GS alone (339 days) (hazard ratio (HR): 0.66; 95%CI: 0.45-0.99; P = 0.036). All these differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The combined therapy of APS and GS improved the recent efficacy and long-term survival of patients with pancreatic cancer and alleviated chemotherapy-induced immune suppression and adverse reactions.

BACKGROUND
Intracranial epidermoid cyst (IEC) transformation to malignant squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is extremely rare, and its etiology is yet unknown. Currently, SCC is treated by performing surgery, followed by a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It is crucial to identify efficient and trustworthy therapeutic targets for SCC to improve its diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.
CASE SUMMARY
In this study, we report the case of a 47-year-old female patient with SCC, which progressed from IEC in the left internal capsule region. The patient was sought treatment at our hospital for severe diplopic vision, accompanied with speech disorder and memory loss. Based on the clinical and postoperative pathology, this patient was finally diagnosed with SCC. To identify disease-causing variants, whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on the proband. WES revealed two pathogenic missense mutations on Gap junction protein beta 2 (GJB2) (c.257C>T) and Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) (c.1039A>G), respectively.
CONCLUSION
This study provided the first clinical evidence for demonstrating the role of GJB2 and TLR2 in IEC development and treatment. We further confirmed WES as a robust and reliable technique for underlying rare and complex disease-related genetic factor identification.
Forough Farrokhzad’s “Let Us Believe in the Beginning of the Cold Season”
Authors: Pope Elizabeth Christine 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Forough Farrokhzad’s “Let Us Believe in the Beginning of the Cold Season” is an exploration of the poetic form of an elegy, encountering nuances of gender, sexuality, mourning, depression, and unrequited love within the containment of religious and cultural laws that dominate leadership in the Islamic country of Iran. Her poetry extends traditional boundaries of lament and elegy to explore oppositions of love and longing, birth and death, seasonality versus time’s continuance, and winter as entrance rather than ending.
Ferdowsi’s Shāhnāma Narratives as Epic Episodes: A Case Study
Authors: Hillmann Michael Craig 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The article begins with a recapitulation of attention to the Shāhnāma in America and proceeds to an overview of the Shāhnāma in the context of the epic species of narrative, with attention to Hamid Dabashi’s critique in The Shahnameh: The Persian Epic as World Literature of Western writing on world literature and Ferdowsi. The article also here reviews Amin Banani’s much reprinted essay first called “Ferdowsi and the Art of Tragic Epic.” There follow a suggestive list of Shāhnāma parts and a conclusion that, as a whole, it seems not to function as a single narrative, but rather as a collection of epic episodes. As an illustration, the article turns to the story of Rustam and Suhrāb. First comes a cursory American formalist analysis of “The Tale of Sohrab” in Shahnameh: The Persian Book of Kings translated by Dick Davis. Then comes a discussion of poetic features and effects in Mujtabā Mīnuvī’s edition called Dāstān-i [story of] Rustam va Suhrāb az Shāhnāma.

This study adopted a quantitative approach to explore learning adjustment in terms of the students’ perceived adjustments in teaching, cognitive and social presence in the community of inquiry (CoI) framework from face-to-face classroom to online learning, and then from online to blended learning in the case of a higher education institution in Hong Kong. The online CoI survey was conducted to collect data from a convenience sample of 212 participating students who experienced the transition from classroom to online learning, and then the transition from online to blended learning in the case of the higher education institution. Analysis of variance, pairwise comparisons, correlation and multi-group analyses were performed on the collected data. The analytical results indicated that the students perceived four adjustments in their CoI presences in the online classroom and blended learning. (1) Classroom learning exhibited the strongest CoI presence while online learning rendered the weakest CoI presence. (2) Cognitive presence was the most important while social presence was the least important for learning. (3) All correlations among the CoI presence were positive with large correlations in online and blended learning modes. (4) All the teaching, cognitive and social adjustments were positively and largely correlated. These findings provide implications for further studies on exploring the explanation for the student’s learning adjustment and investigating the learning improvement strategies for online education.

Published: October 2024

International organizations’ analyses of Mexican students have shown that the nation's educational system is currently facing significant challenges in its ability to support the development of academic skills at all educational levels. Evaluations carried out by international organizations on Mexican students have revealed that the educational system in this country currently presents serious difficulties in effectively contributing to the development of academic skills at all educational levels. Models that consider learning styles and other factors that support academic performance such as intrinsic motivation, mastery goals, beliefs, control and Regulation of the Value of Tasks (RVT) have been developed since the last century to improve the skills of both high school and university students. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study was conducted to identify the relationship between Regulation of the Value of Tasks (RTV) and learning style (LS). RTV data collection used the motivated strategies for learning questionnaire while EA was assessed using the Honey-Alonso Learning Styles Questionnaire (CHAEA). The study involved 108 university students enrolled in a public institution located in southeastern Mexico. The results indicate a "very weak" relationship between SRL and the active, pragmatic and theoretical learning styles. According to the literature review conducted for this study, there are very few similar investigations making it difficult to compare the results with previous data. Further research is suggested to explore the relationship between these variables in other populations.
