Proposal (39) to conserve the name Koelerietalia splendentis Horvatić 1973 as a nomen conservandum
Authors: Dengler Jürgen , Vassilev Kiril , Bergmeier Erwin 
Published: August 2024

After a nomenclatural revision of the available names for the order of rocky grasslands of the Balkan Peninsula within the class Festuco-Brometea, based on Article 52 ICPN we propose the conservation of the name Koelerietalia splendentis against the name Halacsyetalia sendtneri. In syntaxonomic concepts not combining the limestone and serpentine rocky grasslands of the Balkans in a single order, the latter name would still be available as it is based on a different nomenclatural type.

NLRP3 Inflammasomes: Dual Function in Infectious Diseases
Authors: Li Yanbo , Qiang Rui , Cao Zhengmin , Wu Qingjuan , Wang Jiuchong , Lyu Wenliang 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The Nod-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome has been the most distinctive polymer protein complex. After recognizing the endogenous and exogenous danger signals, NLRP3 can cause inflammation by pyroptosis and secretion of mature, bioactive forms of IL-1β and IL-18. The NLRP3 inflammasome is essential in the genesis and progression of infectious illnesses. Herein, we provide a comprehensive review of the NLRP3 inflammasome in infectious diseases, focusing on its two-sided effects. As an essential part of host defense with a protective impact, abnormal NLRP3 inflammasome activation, however, result in a systemic high inflammatory response, leading to subsequent damage. In addition, scientific evidence of small molecules, biologics, and phytochemicals acting on the NLRP3 inflammasome has been reviewed. We believe that the NLRP3 inflammasome helps us understand the pathological mechanism of different stages of infectious diseases and that inhibitors targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome will become a new and valuable research direction for the treatment of infectious diseases.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:
Stem cell transplant recipients have an increase in various infections depending on the immunosuppression. The purpose is to explore the effect of the use of proflactıc intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) on transplant recıpıents.

OBJECTIVE:
It was aimed to examine the effect of IVIG on allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
In this study, sepsis status, infection focus causing sepsis, neutrophil and platelet engraftment time of patients the length of stay in the hospital at the time of the stem cell transplant, if the patient died, how many days after the transplant the event developed, and the data of the bone marrow transplant unit were reviewed retrospectively. One hundred and eleven patients who were given IVIG (400 mg/kg/week IVIG intravenous was given to the patients as a weekly prophylactic up to 100 days starting on the 7th day after transplantation) and 190 patients who did not receive IVIG were included in the study.

RESULTS:
There was no statistically significant difference between the IVIG groups in terms of gender, diagnosis, donor characteristics, and event (P > 0.05). Sepsis was observed significantly less in patients who were given IVIG compared to patients who were not given IVIG (P < 0.001). While it was observed that IVIG did not have a significant effect on platelet engraftment and discharge times (P > 0.05), neutrophil engraftment time was significantly higher in patients given IVIG compared to patients not given IVIG (P < 0.009). It was observed that the use of IVIG in patients with sepsis did not have a positive effect on survival. (with sepsis hazard ratio [HR]: 3.890 P = 0.001, IVIG given HR: 3.244 P = 0.035).

CONCLUSION:
It was observed that the use of IVIG in allogeneic stem cell transplantation was associated with a decrease in sepsis, but the use of IVIG did not have a positive effect on survival and could prolong neutrophil engraftment.
Paraquat Poisoning: A Growing Homicidal Threat: Insights and Strategies
Authors: Rupesh Kattamreddy Ananth , Ghosh Victor 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Paraquat is a widely used non-selective herbicide in Indian agriculture. It has gained popularity for its misuse in suicidal poisoning, primarily because it lacks an antidote, and ingestion often leads to death. When examining the historical trends of pesticide-related suicidal poisonings in India, there is a noticeable transition from endrin, organophosphates and rodenticides to the current prevalent use of paraquat. This review delves into globally reported cases of homicidal paraquat poisonings, which are sporadically reported in India as well, although not published in mainstream academia. Clinicians must remain vigilant in homicidal paraquat poisoning situations as there is often improper history at the time of presentation. Such cases typically present with some non-specific symptoms such as oral and pharyngeal burns and appear like any other typical acute gastroenteritis or a flu-like illness which ultimately leads to death as a result of pulmonary complications. At the same time, forensic pathologists need to be well versed in the characteristic autopsy findings and analytical toxicology considerations of paraquat-induced criminal poisoning, given the occasional incidents in India. The use of paraquat as a weapon in poisoning cases is a significant public health concern that underscores the need for a ban on paraquat in India.

Background:
Sickle cell disease (SCD) causes recurring crises that lead to changes in organs such as the spleen, liver, and kidneys, resulting in high morbidity and mortality.

Materials and Methods:
This study was carried out in the Adult Haematology Clinic and the Radiology Department of Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja Nigeria. Consenting SCD participants in a steady state and consenting blood donors with HbAA phenotype, representing controls were subjected to an abdominal ultrasound scan. The sizes of their spleen, liver, and kidneys were measured.

Results:
There were 82 participants, 41 in each group (SCD and HbAA controls). The mean age for SCD was 25.9 ± 7.49 years and for HbAA was 26.49 ± 4.35 years. In each group, there were 41 participants, comprising 19 males and 22 females. Individuals with HbAA had spleen sizes approximately one and a half times larger than those with SCD (SCD: 6.81 ± 3.83 cm, HbAA: 9.97 ± 1.11 cm, P = 0.01). Conversely, participants with SCD exhibited larger liver, right kidney, and left kidney measurements compared to those with HbAA (Liver SCD: 14.91 ± 1.60 cm, HbAA: 13.32 ± 1.56 cm, P = 1.00), (right kidney SCD: 10.52 ± 1.16 cm, HbAA: 9.92 ± 1.04 cm, P = 0.02), (left kidney SCD: 10.76 ± 1.45 cm, HbAA: 10.58 ± 1.60 cm, P = 0.53).

Conclusion:
The study found that SCD affects the sizes of abdominal organs, including the spleen, kidneys, and liver, compared to those without the condition.

Authors: Schöpfel Joachim , Prost Hélène , Jacquemin Bernard , Kergosien Éric , Thiault Florence 
Published: August 2024

This article presents the results of a qualitative analysis of the use of the HAL platform by research laboratories. The analysis is based on semi-directive interviews with representatives from 50 laboratories affiliated to the ten Udice research universities. It focuses on the function that HAL fulfils for the laboratories, on its added value for their operation and their development. In particular, we are questioning the purposes of the use of HAL by the laboratories, the use of internal and external tools, and the trajectories of practices. We discuss the results from three angles: the discourses and communities of practice in the laboratories; the scope and challenges of the systems put in place by the laboratories upstream and downstream of HAL; and the transformation of HAL from a platform for self-archiving and direct scientific communication to an infrastructure for monitoring and evaluating scientific performance. This is the first in a series of three articles from the HAL/LO project.

Published: August 2024

Введение. В статье анализируется правовая публицистика европейской и азиатской ветвей российской эмиграции. Показана деятельность юристов-международников по освещению правовых событий и анализу соответствующих документов. Цель статьи заключается в том, чтобы на основе доступных в настоящее время русскоязычных публикаций провести историко-юридический и культурологический анализ международно-правовой науки русской эмиграции как социально-культурного феномена, раскрыть и осветить важнейшие моменты научно-издательской деятельности юристов-международников, протекавшей в своеобразных условиях русского зарубежья. Методы: теоретические методы формальной и диалектической логики, эмпирические методы описания и интерпретации, текстологический, формально-юридический, сравнительно-правовой, сравнительно-исторический методы, методы анализа, обобщения. Результаты: обозначено проблемное поле – значительный пласт международно-правовой культуры, наработанный российской эмиграцией, по-прежнему закрытый временем и пространством. Но и то, что найдено, проанализировано и освещено, свидетельствует о создании русской зарубежной науки международного права стараниями ученых- эмигрантов. Исследование направлено на воссоздание целостной картины развития постреволюционной российской международно-правовой науки, реконструкцию ее эмигрантской составляющей, продолжившей лучшие традиции и показавшей высокий профессионализм дореволюционной научной мысли, что представляется чрезвычайно важной задачей современной российской науки международного права, переживающей сложный процесс переосмысления старых представлений. Делается вывод о важности изучения этого исключительно ценного и склонного к исчезновению багажа знаний.

Hiponatremia associada a antidepressivos: uma revisão
Authors: Castilho Érica Lopes , Zampiroli Izadora Zucolotto , Vieira Fernanda Henriques Miranda , Nava Jusciellyson da Silva 
Published: August 2024

Introdução: A hiponatremia é um distúrbio metabólico caracterizado por reduzidos níveis séricos de sódio no organismo. Desidratação, doenças renais, hepáticas e uso de medicações, são algumas das causas para tal distúrbio. O presente estudo tem por objetivo avaliar através de uma revisão bibliográfica a relação entre a hiponatremia e o uso de antidepressivos. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Estudo de caráter observacional. Foram avaliados criticamente artigos encontrados nas plataformas PubMed, Scielo e Capes, utilizando as palavras chaves “hiponatremia” e “antidepressivo”. Resultados e discussão: Observa-se que o uso de antidepressivos possuem relação direta com o risco de hiponatremia. Os inibidores seletivos de serotonina são a classe que apresenta maior risco para esse, principalmente escitalopram e citalopram, uma vez que a serotonina age diretamente sob o hormônio anti-diurético (ADH), que quando secretado de forma inapropriada causa hiponatremia. Considerações finais: Vários fatores têm que ser avaliados antes da prescrição de antidepressivos. Idade, sexo, medicações de uso contínuo, comorbidade, como também avaliar quais os efeitos colaterais que essas medicações podem gerar no organismo de cada um. Antes do início do tratamento, é importante a solicitação dos níveis sérios de sódio dos pacientes, mas também se faz necessário a dosagem desse durante o tratamento visto que a hiponatremia é um efeito-colateral comum em pacientes que utilizam antidepressivos e esse quando em níveis extremamente baixos podem levar a consequências sérias, como letargia, sonolência, crises convulsivas e estado comatoso.

Published: August 2024

Despite its intermittent nature, volleyball places significance on a high aerobic capacity, particularly evident in multiset games that demand sustained high-performance levels. Various training approaches exist to enhance the endurance of volleyball athletes. Thus, the fundamental aim of this research is to examine the contrasting effects of utilizing high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and circuit training methods to enhance volleyball athletes' endurance. The study used an Experimental group that partook in a HIIT training regime, and a Contrast group that undertook a Circuit training program. Thirty male volleyball players aged between 17 and 22 years (M=19.14; SD±1.61) were purposefully selected for the study and split into Contrast and Experimental groups of 15 each. At the beginning and end of the intervention programs both groups underwent physiological assessments for Maximum Oxygen Consumption (VO2max), Heart Rate Recovery (HRR), Peak Inspiratory Flow (PIF), Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF), and Force Vital Capacity (FVC). As result a meaningful Time x Group interaction for the VO2max, HRR, PIF, PEF and FVC was observed. This represents a significant improvement in the treatment group (p < 0.001). No material change was observed in the comparison group. Findings revealed that the HIIT training approach outperformed the circuit training method in enhancing volleyball athletes' endurance. Consequently, it is should be beneficial for volleyball players to incorporate HIIT into their standard training regimens.

Music has been and will continue to be a part of people's lives, so it is important to investigate bringing it to the field of education. This article discusses the effects of musical education on children’s linguistic skills. It also, if applicable, seeks to find throughlines and common threads between curricula that achieve successful results with children to isolate the important factors that make music more beneficial. Musical education was found to improve phonological awareness abilities in children, most commonly 4-6 years old, and a wide variety of musical curriculums were further found to have a positive impact on children’s linguistic skills.
Microbial Engineering for PHB Production and E-Waste Biomining: A Sustainable Approach
Authors: Nagrani Kush , Zytnick Alexa 
Published: August 2024

This review delves into the potential of microbial biotechnologies in tackling two major environmental issues that face modern society: the manufacturing of petroleum-based plastics and the management of electronic waste (E-waste). E-waste contains valuable and critical metals that are conventionally extracted using methods that pose a threat to the environment (Gopikrishnan et al., 2020). Through the novel process of biomining, microorganisms have been found to offer a more sustainable way of extracting these metals. Similarly, the production of ecologically-damaging petroleum-based plastics can be mitigated by biologically modifying microorganisms that are naturally capable of producing bioplastics, like polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), intracellularly (Tsang et al., 2019). This study addresses the current state of these microbial technologies as well as their drawbacks, ultimately culminating in a set of solutions that provide ways for these processes to be scaled up to an industrial level.
The Effect of Antioxidants on Olfactory Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease
Authors: Pandey Neelesh , Schmidt Tiffany 
Published: August 2024

Parkinson’s disease is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, with approximately 10 million people worldwide being affected in 2016. Olfactory dysfunction is a common hallmark of early Parkinson’s disease, and research indicates that antioxidants work against reactive oxygen species(ROS) in Parkinson’s disease. Lewy bodies, alpha-synuclein protein aggregates, are the cause of the death of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson’s disease. Given olfactory dysfunction is one of the first symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, it has intrigued many to discover its underlying importance. When Lewy bodies are found in the olfactory bulb, there was a greater than 90% correlation with the presence of Parkinson’s disease. It has been observed that alpha-synuclein aggregation may begin in the olfactory bulb before moving to other parts of the brain. Free radicals, such as ROS, are related to dopamine such as oxidized dopamine, and can help sustain alpha-synuclein toxic forms, leading to aggregation. Therefore, antioxidants could play a substantial role in mediating the effects of ROS. This paper will review our current understanding of the usage of antioxidants in alleviating the symptoms posed by oxidative stress and what that could mean for Parkinson’s disease models by providing a critique of 4 papers. Each paper will discuss the usage of treatment for olfactory dysfunction and the potential implications that follow the results. After, the paper will propose new studies to determine whether antioxidants are effective in diminishing the extent of olfactory dysfunction in patients with Parkinson’s disease.
Adaptive Therapy: Using Evolutionary Game Theory to Combat Cancer Treatment Resistance
Authors: Iyer Leela , Brooks Becca 
Published: August 2024

Adaptive therapy is a cancer treatment based upon the principles of evolutionary game theory (EGT) utilized to minimize treatment resistance as a cause of tumor evolution. This treatment strategy incorporates a foundation of Darwinian evolutionary principles with mathematical modeling and clinical data. As a result, adaptive therapy ameliorates the negative effects of traditional cancer treatments such as therapy resistance and a debilitated quality of life. By eliminating the use of maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the hallmark of traditional therapies, the evolutionary properties of tumors to develop drug resistance are circumvented and the probability of a prolonged life for patients is significantly increased. This paper explores the effectiveness of an expanded usage of adaptive therapy through an evaluation of current oncological research.
Effect of Distributed and Instructional Leadership of Chinese School Principals on the Job Satisfaction of Teachers: A Conceptual Paper
Authors: Xin Zhao , Tahir Suhaidah Binti 
Published: August 2024

School principals’ leadership behaviours influence the job satisfaction of the teacher, which in turn, defines the effectiveness of the school climate. Therefore, it is crucial to know how the leaderships styles, specially the distributed and instructional leadership, affect the job satisfaction of the teachers in the Chinese school context. So, the aim of the study is to analyse the effect of distributed and instructional leadership of Chinese school principals on the job satisfaction of teachers along with the mediating roles of reward, motivation, and effectiveness. In order to achieve the aim, the study adopted a “review-style” research method and explored the relevant past literature. The researcher confined the time frame from 2019 to 2024 to include the most recent studies and the theses, books, and discussions were not utilized as they did not fit into the standard of research articles. In the context of educational policy and school management practices worldwide, the implications of this study are significant. Therefore, suitable leadership interventions would improve teachers’ work satisfaction and consequently, the students’ achievements.
