Authors: Li Yihua , Yao Meidan , Xie Fei , Qiu Yijun , Zhao Xinjun , Li Rong 
Published: July 2024

BackgroundThe gut microbiota (GM) is widely acknowledged to have a significant impact on cardiovascular health and may act as a residual risk factor affecting cardiac structure and function. However, the causal relationship between GM and cardiac structure and function remains unclear.ObjectiveThis study aims to employ a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate the causal association between GM and cardiac structure and function.MethodsData on 119 GM genera were sourced from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis (13,266 European participants) conducted by the MiBioGen consortium, while data on 16 parameters of cardiac structure and function were obtained from the UK Biobank’s GWAS of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (up to 41,135 European participants). Inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger, and weighted median (WM) methods were utilized for causal association assessments, with sensitivity analyses conducted to reinforce the findings. Finally, biological annotation was performed on the GWAS data of GM and cardiac phenotypes with causal associations to explore potential mechanisms.ResultsThe MR analysis, predominantly based on the IVW model, revealed 93 causal associations between the genetically predicted abundance of 44 GM genera and 16 cardiac structure and function parameters. These associations maintained consistent directions in MR-Egger and WM models, with no evidence of pleiotropy detected. Biological annotations suggest that GM may influence cardiac structure and function through pathways involved in myocardial cell development, cardiac contractility, and apoptosis.ConclusionThe MR analysis supports a causal association between certain abundances of genetically predicted GM and cardiac structure and function, suggesting that GM could be a residual risk factor impacting cardiac phenotypes.

IntroductionPhantoms mimicking tissue motion have become a valuable tool for quality control in various fields of medical physics including lung phantoms for image-guided radiotherapy and functional imaging in nuclear medicine or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the body. In MRI, precise kinematic models are more difficult to realize owing to the requirements of MR-compatibility. Pneumatic stepper motors built entirely of non-conducting materials can be safely used in an MR environment, with pressurized air supply and switching residing outside the magnet room.MethodsIn this research, a torso phantom was built adopting a 3D-printed linear stepper drive for use with high-field MR scanners. It was possible to simulate respiratory motion of a 3D-printed left ventricle phantom using the stepper.Results and discussionPrecise and accurate motion for a time of 15 min over a range of 8 cm were achieved with speeds up to 5.5 mm/s when the stepper was loaded with the left ventricle phantom. It was shown that the motor is an effective tool for quality control in multi-modal medical imaging.
Becoming first time father of premature newborn during the first wave of the pandemic: a case study approach

Published: July 2024

IntroductionThe aim of this paper is to delve into the emotional and psychological challenges that fathers face as they navigate the complexities of having a preterm infant in the NICU and in an unprecedented sanitary context.MethodsWe used three data collection methods such as interviews (narrative and the Clinical Interview for Parents of High-risk Infants- CLIP) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) to gain a comprehensive understanding of the cases.ResultsThe following analysis explores two individuals’ personal experiences of becoming a first-time father during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic through a close examination of two superordinate themes: “A series of separations through the experienced COVID- 19 restrictions” and “Moments of connection.” The transition to fatherhood is essentially with a medicalized form of connection with their newborn and the perceived paternal identity. In terms of temporality, these fathers experienced a combination of concerns about their infants’ long-term development and COVID-19 health concerns. Furthermore, they showed indications of phobic or hypochondriac tendencies using a psychoanalytic framework, along with an increased risk of postpartum depression.
Taxonomic revision and identification keys for the giant honey bees
Authors: Kitnya Nyaton , Brockmann Axel , Otis Gard W. 
Published: July 2024

IntroductionThe taxonomy and phylogeny of the giant honey bees (Apis; subgenus Megapis) remain controversial and unresolved. The species boundaries within the subgenus are unclear, and some species that are recognized on the basis of genetic differences lack supporting morphological characteristics. Two species are now well accepted: Apis dorsata Fabricius, 1793, of tropical regions of Asia, and Apis laboriosa Moore et al., 1871, an inhabitant of the foothills of the Himalayas and neighboring mountain ranges. In addition, researchers have suggested that the two allopatric populations of giant honey bees that inhabit Sulawesi, Indonesia (Apis binghami Cockerell, 1906) and the oceanic Philippine islands (Apis breviligula Maa, 1953), as well as the South Indian form also deserve species status. We evaluated morphological characters of all of these taxa in order to revise the taxonomy of the subgenus.MethodsWe conducted a taxonomic study based on morphological characters of Megapis from throughout Asia. In addition, we created taxonomic keys to workers and drones for the giant honey bee species that we recognize.ResultsOur study confirms that A. laboriosa is a distinct species based on numerous morphological characters. Moreover, A. dorsata of mainland Asia differs from the two island taxa based on coloration, ocellus size, and the spacing of compound eyes and ocelli. We found no evidence that breviligula of the Philippines has a distinctively short tongue. Moreover, we detected only one minor character (the shape of sternum 5) that differed statistically between bees from Sulawesi and the Philippines. We conclude that the bees from these islands represent a single morphological species, A. binghami, with two subspecies, A. b. binghami and A. b. breviligula. A. dorsata from the Andaman Islands are smaller than but conspecific with dorsata of mainland Asia. We found no morphological autapomorphies in the giant honey bees of southern India that are known to differ in mtDNA from A. dorsata from elsewhere in mainland Asia.DiscussionOur morphological examination of Megapis specimens firmly supports three species of giant honey bees: A. laboriosa, A. dorsata, and A. binghami. More detailed examination of specimens is required to reconcile our three morphological species with the five clades that have been identified with genetic analyses.
Bedding material properties and slurry C/N ratio affect the availability of nitrogen in cattle slurry applied to soil

Published: July 2024

IntroductionCattle slurry used as fertilizer in crop production is a mix of feces, urine, water, and bedding material from the housing system. Previous studies have shown that slurry nitrogen (N) availability to crops is dependent on C/N ratio. As the bedding material can contribute a significant part of total slurry carbon (C), its characteristics may affect the C/N ratio of the slurry. There is increasing interest in using the solid fraction from mechanical slurry separation as bedding material, and therefore this study investigated the potential effect of this fraction on slurry N availability, compared with more commonly used bedding materials such as straw and sawdust.MethodsIn two parallel 28-day laboratory incubations, net mineral N release and C mineralization from slurries applied to sandy loam soil were measured. The slurries comprised a liquid fraction (LF) from mechanical cattle slurry separation with a screw-press and different added bedding materials. Liquid fraction was mixed with two types of bedding material, solid slurry fraction (SF) and chopped straw, in different proportions, resulting in C/N ratios of 10, 12, and 14 in the slurry. In additional treatments, two other bedding materials, ground straw and sawdust, with slurry C/N ratio 12, were used.ResultsFor SF and chopped straw, similar negative linear correlations were seen between slurry C/N ratio and net mineral N release after 28 days. Carbon mineralization, expressed as a percentage of total C added, was higher from the mixture containing SF than that containing straw, while no clear relationship with C/N ratio was found. At slurry C/N ratio 12, net release of mineral N was 28–39% of total N and decreased in the order: sawdust&gt;chopped straw=SF=ground straw. Net C mineralization at the same slurry C/N ratio was 33–46% and decreased in the order: SF=ground straw&gt;chopped straw&gt;sawdust.DiscussionFor bedding materials with similar fiber composition (i.e., SF and straw), differences in C availability due to particle size or degree of degradation by microorganisms did not influence slurry N availability measurably. For sawdust, with high lignin content, the results indicate that limited C availability may lead to lower slurry N immobilization.

Published: July 2024

Drought stress significantly impacts plant growth, productivity, and yield, necessitating a swift fine-tuning of pathways for adaptation to harsh environmental conditions. This study explored the effects of Arabidopsis BTB-A2.1, BTB-A2.2, and BTB-A2.3, distinguished by their exclusive possession of the Broad-complex, Tramtrack, and Bric-à-brac (BTB) domain, on the negative regulation of drought stress mediated by abscisic acid (ABA) signaling. Promoter analysis revealed the presence of numerous ABA-responsive and drought stress-related cis-acting elements within the promoters of AtBTB-A2.1, AtBTB-A2.2, and AtBTB-A2.3. The AtBTB-A2.1, AtBTB-A2.2, and AtBTB-A2.3 transcript abundances increased under drought and ABA induction according to qRT-PCR and GUS staining. Furthermore, the Arabidopsis btb-a2.1/2/3 triple mutant exhibited enhanced drought tolerance, supporting the findings from the overexpression studies. Additionally, we detected a decrease in the stomatal aperture and water loss rate of the Arabidopsis btb-a2.1/2/3 mutant, suggesting the involvement of these genes in repressing stomatal closure. Importantly, the ABA signaling-responsive gene levels within Arabidopsis btb-a2.1/2/3 significantly increased compared with those in the wild type (WT) under drought stress. Based on such findings, Arabidopsis BTB-A2s negatively regulate drought stress via the ABA signaling pathway.

Published: July 2024

El siguiente ensayo busca dar cuenta de la construcción teórica que propone el Plan de Educación Básica (PEB) (SEP, 2022) con respecto al Campo Formativo, esté tendrá la función de concentrar parcelas de conocimiento en cuatro campos que cobrarán sentido a través de los ejes articuladores que se darán a través de la problematización de la realidad que hagan las y los docentes para sus programas de analíticos. Está problematización de la realidad es la propuesta devenida del texto, La labor de maestras y maestros, formar y formarse (2006) del autor México-chileno Hugo Zemelman, uno de los textos fundamentales en la explicación que se da para el campo formativo en el PEB. En donde el autor abordado propone un curriculum formado por campos que permitan la integración del conocimiento que posibilite una visión más compleja y completa de la realidad, observada desde distintos ámbitos de la vida (2022, pág. 143). Ha sido una preocupación constante por parte de Zemelman el entendimiento de la realidad como se puede observar en su texto Conocimiento y Sujetos Sociales (1987), en donde propone una teoría social y metodológica para la comprensión de la realidad presente para un proyecto político. Hugo Zemelman comienza por el estudio del presente y su diagnostico argumentando la dificultad por comprenderlo, desarrollando supuestos, directrices de análisis, metodología, terminando con una propuesta de conceptos ordenadores generadores de una propuesta para observar la realidad. Es por ello que la segunda parte del texto se analizó la propuesta de Conceptos Ordenadores, del libro antes mencionado (ZEMELMAN, 1987, pág. 109), ya que esto dará luz para el entendimiento de realidad y por lo tanto al Campo Formativo.

Mobilization Potential of the Political Internet in Russia
Authors: Кургачева К.Д. 
Published: July 2024

В современной России наблюдается диспропорция между использованием мобилизационного потенциала интернета и представленностью политсил в офлайн-политике. Ведущие политические игроки формально подходят к развитию сетевого контента. Оппозиция как таковая также не уделяет достаточного внимания онлайн-ресурсам. Тем не менее, именно в оппозиционной среде существуют полит-акторы, осознающие потенциал интернет-мобилизации и использующие его максимально эффективно. В случае если власть не осознает необходимость качественного сетевого присутствия, это создаст угрозу существующей политической системе и нарушит сложившийся статус-кво.
In modern Russia, there is a disparity between the use of the Internet's mobilization potential and the representation of political forces in offline politics. Leading political players formally approach the development of online content. The opposition as such also does not pay enough attention to online resources. However, it is in the opposition environment there are political actors who are aware of the potential of Internet mobilization and use it as effectively as possible. If the authorities do not realize the need for a high-quality network presence, this will create a threat to the existing political system and violate the status quo.

Analysis of the methodological foundations of the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ)
Authors: Семенов Сергей Николаевич 
Published: July 2024

Статья посвящена анализу современной критики теории решения изобретательских задач (ТРИЗ) – теории, разработанной еще в советское время группой изобретателей. Суть теории в том, что процесс изобретения нового можно представить в виде алгоритма определенных мыслительных действий, и этому алгоритму можно обучать людей. Эта теория внесла вклад в научно-технический прогресс страны во второй половине XX века. В статье показано, что несмотря на попытки ревизии основных положений этой теории, она остается актуальной в современных условиях вхождения мира и России в шестой технологический уклад.
The article is devoted to the analysis of modern criticism of the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) – a theory developed in Soviet times by a group of inventors. The essence of the theory is that the process of inventing something new can be represented in the form of an algorithm for certain mental actions, and this algorithm can be taught to people. This theory contributed to the country's scientific and technological progress in the second half of the 20th century. The article shows that despite attempts to revise the main provisions of this theory, it remains relevant in modern conditions of the entry of the world and Russia into the sixth technological order.

Специальные права заимствования является сложным по структуре и нестабильным финансовым активом. Его главное свойство состоит в способности обмена на основные мировые валюты. Даже с учетом возможной в будущем периоде эволюции этого актива нет оснований полагать, что он способен трансформироваться в мировые деньги, однако, сам инструмент должен пройти существенную трансформацию, чтобы сохранить роль эффективного финансового актива.
Special drawing rights are a complex and volatile financial asset. Its main property is its ability to exchange for major world currencies. Even considering the possible evolution of this asset in the future, there is no reason to believe that it can transform into world money, however, the instrument itself must undergo a significant transformation to maintain its role as an effective financial asset.
