Authors: Romanova T. A. , Ivakhnenko N. N. , Chervan A. N. 
Published: August 2024

A data array (15,000 numbers) for eight soil varieties was examined through the spectrum of properties included in the fundamental research program in genetic soil science. In order to expand the understanding of the essence of soil formation and the nature of soils and the need to clarify the scientific definition of the concepts of “soil”, “soil-forming process” and “hydromorphism”, the properties of soils of autochthonous moisture developed on loess-like loams were studied as the basis for diagnosing their genesis and diversity. The research is based on a large amount of material from many year research into the profile structure, water-and-physical and chemical properties of the most fertile soils of Belarus, formed on loess-like loams of the Minsk ridge. The difference between soils and soil-like bodies has been determined, as well as the role of microbiota as the basis for transformation of rock into soil, models of chemical differentiation of profiles, and bioenergetic potential of soils. The conducted research contributes to deepening the general understanding of soils, water regime as a marker of soil genesis, as well as objective diagnosis of soil genesis, being the basis for the design of sustainable land use, increasing the efficiency of soil use based on genesis with diagnosis of the water regime as a marker, as well as information content of soil maps, ensuring development of precision arable farming systems. Necessity and importance of taking into account the diversity of soil properties for large-scale hydrotechnical melioration is shown.

Authors: Ponidi Ponidi 
Published: August 2024

Penelitian ini memanfaatkan data dari sensor prosonic FMU41 sebagai input variable untuk membatasi pergerakan reclaimer saat digunakan menggaruk material batubara. Data yang diambil merupakan nilai jarak ujung membrane sensor dengan permukaan material. Kemudian pembacaan nilai jarak dari sensor dikonversi menjadi tegangan sinyal 4-20 mA, lalu ditransmisikan ke perangkat PLC untuk dijadikan variable utama pada program. Software yang digunakan untuk memodifikasi program PLC adalah Simatic manager S7. Variabel berupa sinyal tegangan itu dikonversi menjadi nilai real agar dapat digunakan sebagai masukan fungsi logika di Simatic manager S7. Fungsi logika tersebut memprogram pergerakan reclaimer pada saat beroperasi agar berada pada rentang jarak yang telah dikalkulasikan. Sehingga reclaimer akan selalu memiliki batas ujung dengan rentang jarak yang mengecil. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan setelah optimalisasi sensor dan dilakukan modifikasi terhadap program PLC dengan mengatur jarak optimal yakni 15 cm untuk perpindahan rentang jarak travel menunjukkan permukaan material batubara membentuk pola terasering karena reclaimer selalu bergerak dengan rentang jarak yang mengecil. Intensitas kinerja reclaimer saat digunakan operasi juga tinggi karena longsoran material tidak terjadi sehingga pergerakan reclaimer tidak terhambat dan motor-motor listrik tidak mengalami trip.

Encaje de los sistemas de IA en la definición de producto en la legislación de productos defectuosos
Authors: Herbosa Martínez Inmaculada 
Published: August 2024

La legislación vigente de productos defectuosos, resultado de la trasposición de laDirectiva 85/374, está llamada a regular los daños causados por aquellos bienes que adolecen de falta de seguridad, incluidos los sistemas de inteligencia artificial, mientras no entre en vigor la Directiva recientemente aprobada para su sustitución. Dicha normativa constituye una herramienta muy poderosa para asegurar a la víctima una compensación adecuada por los daños que la misma contempla, cada vez más frecuentes en una sociedad digitalizada. Pero quien se enfrenta a la interpretación y aplicación de dicha normativa a los sistemas de inteligencia artificial, se topa con una realidad compleja y difícil de reconducir a los conceptos y definiciones generales que la misma contempla. En el trabajo se abordan, en concreto, las dificultades de encaje de los sistemas de inteligencia artificial (y sus componentes) en la definición de producto en el ámbito de aplicación de esta normativa. El estudio de esta cuestión reviste cierta complejidad, debido a varias razones: no está claro que debe entenderse por inteligencia artificial, su estrecha dependencia de los datos y de ciertos servicios para cumplir alguna de sus funciones, así como su carácter abierto y su continua modificación, mediante actualizaciones y mejoras. A todo ello, debe añadirse que los sistemas de IA pueden comercializarse de distintas formas (como producto autónomo o como parte componente de otro) con consecuencias de régimen aplicable. Y, finalmente, que los propios sistemas de inteligencia artificial se pueden distribuir o comercializar como servicio, lo que exige analizar si los daños causados por estos se hallan o no comprendidos en el ámbito de aplicación de la legislación específica sobre productos defectuosos.

Published: August 2024

Background: Earlier research focuses primarily on the cognitive changes due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD); however, little is known with regard to changes in language competence across the lifespan. Objective: The present study aims to investigate the decline of language skills at the grammatical and syntactic levels due to changes in cognitive function. Methods: We administered the Litmus Sentence Repetition Task (SRT) to 150 native speakers of Greek who fall into five groups: 1) young healthy speakers, 2) cognitively intact elder healthy speakers, 3) speakers with subjective cognitive impairment (SCI), 4) speakers with mild cognitive impairment (MCI); and 5) speakers with AD dementia at the mild/moderate stages. All participants underwent a physical and neurological examination and cognitive screening with a standardized neuropsychological battery to assess cognitive status comprehensively and evaluate aspects like working memory, executive function, attention and memory to appropriately classify them. Results: The data analysis revealed that the SRT had high discriminatory value in the development of AD; specifically, both accuracy and grammaticality indices were related to cognitive decline. Additionally, syntax significantly affected the performance of speakers with structures such as clitics being particularly challenging and in most structures the performance of speakers with MCI drops significantly compared to speakers with SCI. Conclusions: Linguistic indices revealed subtle early signs of cognitive decline that can be helpful in the early detection of AD, thus facilitating the clinical process offering support to language-based assessment tools such as sentence repetition, a non-invasive type of assessment to evaluate symptoms of AD.
Regulatory mechanism of DDX5 in ox-LDL-induced endothelial cell injury through the miR-640/SOX6 axis
Authors: Li Shuo , Wang Yu 
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND: Endothelial dysfunction is an early and pre-clinical manifestation of coronary heart disease (CHD). OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the role of DDX5 in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced endothelial cell injury to confer novel targets for the treatment of CHD. METHODS: Endothelial cells were induced by ox-LDL. DDX5, pri-miR-640, pre-miR-640, miR-640, and SOX6 expressions were analyzed by RT-qPCR and Western blot. DDX5 expression was intervened by shRNA, followed by CCK-8 analysis of proliferation, flow cytometry detection of apoptosis, and tube formation assay analysis of angiogenic potential of cells. The binding between DDX5 and pri-miR-640 was determined by RIP, and the pri-miR-640 RNA stability was measured after actinomycin D treatment. Dual-luciferase assay verified the targeting relationship between miR-640 and SOX6. RESULTS: DDX5 and miR-640 were highly expressed while SOX6 was poorly expressed in ox-LDL-induced endothelial cells. Silence of DDX5 augmented cell proliferation, abated apoptosis, and facilitated angiogenesis. Mechanistically, RNA binding protein DDX5 elevated miR-640 expression by weakening the degradation of pri-miR-640, thereby reducing SOX6 expression. Combined experimental results indicated that overexpression of miR-640 or low expression of SOX6 offset the protective effect of DDX5 silencing on cell injury. CONCLUSION: DDX5 elevates miR-640 expression by repressing the degradation of pri-miR-640 and then reduces SOX6 expression, thus exacerbating ox-LDL-induced endothelial cell injury.

Published: August 2024

Background: Exercise promotion interventions for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) are often offered on a face-to-face basis, follow a generic “one-size-fit-all” approach, and are not typically delivered at diagnosis. Considering PD’s heterogenous nature, the existing evidence on the merits of exercise on symptom management and the expressed wishes of people living with PD for access to timely and tailored evidence-based information, there is a demand for interventions that are easily accessible, scalable and co-designed with people living with PD. Objective: Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a co-designed digital intervention promoting exercise and physical activity, in people newly diagnosed with PD. Methods: Thirty people living with PD for less than one year participated in an assessor-blinded randomized feasibility trial from June 2022 to April 2023. The intervention group received the 8-week Knowledge, Exercise Efficacy and Participation (KEEP) intervention comprising 6 interactive digital modules and 4 online live group discussions facilitated by a specialist physiotherapist. Assessments were performed at baseline, post intervention and at 6-month follow up. Results: Thirty participants were recruited to target with a 64% recruitment rate (30/47). All but one participant completed the 6-month follow-up assessment. There was high retention (97%), module completion (91%), and online discussion attendance (88%). Outcome measure collection was feasible, including accelerometer data with a daily average wear time of 23.9 hours (SD:0.295). Conclusions: The KEEP intervention was feasible and acceptable in people newly diagnosed with PD. A larger trial is needed to assess intervention efficacy and correlation between knowledge, self-efficacy, and activity levels.

Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB), primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains a significant global health concern. Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing (tNGS) has emerged as a rapid and comprehensive diagnostic tool for tuberculosis, offering advantages over traditional methods and serving as an effective alternative for drug susceptibility testing and the detection of drug-resistant tuberculosis. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the clinical characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis patients. After explore the application value of targeted next-generation sequencing technology in this patient population, providing valuable insights for clinical diagnosis and treatment. METHODS: In this retrospective study, we analyzed data from 65 patients with laboratory-confirmed tuberculosis admitted to Tianjin Baodi Hospital from November 14, 2020, to February 1, 2023. Patients underwent bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) testing, including acid-fast staining, culture, and tNGS. Biopsies and histopathological examinations were performed on some patients, along with comprehensive radiological assessments for all. RESULTS: Among the 65 pulmonary tuberculosis patients, targeted next-generation sequencing detected pathogens in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid with a positivity rate of 93.8%, significantly higher than traditional methods such as acid-fast staining, culture, and pathology. Compared to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid smear, targeted next-generation sequencing demonstrated significantly higher diagnostic sensitivity (98.46% vs. 26.15%) and accuracy (98.46% vs. 26.15%). CONCLUSION: Targeted next-generation sequencing, with its high sensitivity and specificity compared to traditional methods, provides unique advantages in detecting pathogens among these patients, highlighting its importance in disease management.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: Hydronephrosis (HN) refers to the dilation of the pelvicalyceal system. The current study aims to evaluate various presentations and causes of HN in children and adults with the help of ultrasound (US) as the primary diagnostic modality.
Methodology: This cross-sectional prospective study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Lahore, Pakistan on patients between 0-70 years of age, who were diagnosed with HN in the US. Data was collected using self-designed proforma including gender, age, symptomatology, and anthropometry. Percentages and frequencies were calculated for categorical data. chi-square test was applied to compare urinary calculi in gender, age, BMI, and side.
Results: The total number of patients was 73. The mean age was 31 years. Adults were 74% (54) while 26% (19) were of the pediatric age group. Males were 67.6% (50) and 31.5%(23) were females. Lumbar pain was the commonest presenting complaint. Hydronephrosis was bilateral in 20.5%(15), 43.8% (32) in the left and in the right kidney (35.6%) 26. In adult patients, renal calculi were the commonest cause of 69.9%(51) of HN. In the case of children, PUJ obstruction and renal calculi were equally common 31.6%(6) each. The ureter was the most common site of calculi 35.6% (26). A significant association was found between HN with side of involvement (p-value < 0.001) and age of the patient (0.041).
Conclusion: Ultrasound imaging is helpful in the diagnosis, determination of etiology, and grading of hydronephrosis. Ureteric calculi is the most frequent cause of hydronephrosis followed by pelvic ureteric junction obstruction.
