Abstract
Silicon-based optical switches are integral to on-chip optical interconnects, and mode-division multiplexing (MDM) technology has enabled modes to function as carriers in routing, further boosting optical switches’ link capacity. However, traditional multimode optical switches, which typically use Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) structures and mode (de)multiplexers, are complex and occupy significant physical space. In this paper, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel demultiplexing-free dual-mode 3 × 3 thermal-optical switch based on micro-rings (MRs) and mode exchangers (MEs). All MRs are designed to handle TE1 mode, while the ME converts TE0 mode to TE1 mode, enabling separate routing of both modes. Bezier curves are employed to optimize not only the ME, but also the dual-mode 45° and 90° waveguide bends, which facilitate the flexible and compact layout design. Moreover, our structure can support multiple wavelength channels and spacings by adding pairs of MRs, exhibiting strong WDM compatibility. The switch has an ultra-compact footprint of 0.87 × 0.52 mm2. Under both “all-bar” and “all-cross” configurations, its insertion losses (ILs) remain below 8.7 dB at 1,551 nm, with optical signal-to-noise ratios (OSNRs) exceeding 13.0 dB. Also, 32 Gbps data transmission experiments validate the switch’s high-speed transmission capability.

Asset Management in Islamic Inheritance: A Solution for Economic Empowerment Obstacles
Authors: Puspitasari Indah , Wahyudi Amin 
Published: July 2024

If inheritance assets are transferred, the economic well-being of heirs should increase. However, conflicts among heirs often prevent this, resulting in unproductive or disputed assets with unclear ownership. These disputes significantly hinder the economic progress of the heirs. This article attempts to propose a solution to the problem. According to Islamic inheritance principle, before distribution, there are three obligations must be fulfilled: handling the body's costs, repaying the deceased's debts, and executing their will within limits. Afterward, remaining assets can be distributed among entitled heirs according to Islamic inheritance laws. The remaining assets, termed inheritance, can enhance heirs economic empowerment when distributed. The asset management approach that focuses on Islamic inheritance is expected to further impetus for the economic strengthening of individual beneficiaries specifically, as well as benefit the Muslim community and the general public in the country, such as alleviating conflicts and cultivating heightened economic activity. This qualitative study utilizes a library research approach with phenomenological lens. Based on the literature review conducted, asset management based on the principles of Islamic heritage with the aim of increasing economic empowerment is: providing education to families about Islamic inheritance; accurately record ownership of property, debts, and receivables; the written documents as proof of ownership of asset, and the determination of inheritance rights and their division should be held; utilizing inheritance assets productively to establish sustainable individual or family finances.
The neurocognitive mechanism underlying math avoidance among math anxious people

Published: July 2024

Abstract

This study delves into the cognitive and neural underpinnings of math avoidance behavior in individuals with high math anxiety (HMA), a pattern that contributes to a detrimental cycle of limited practice, poor performance, heightened anxiety, and avoidance of math-related tasks.
We employed a novel experimental paradigm where participants evaluated the economic benefits against the cognitive costs of engaging in a mathematical problem-solving task. Utilizing a general linear model and Hierarchical Drift Diffusion Model regression, we found that the math avoidance tendency in HMA is primarily driven by elevated task difficulty sensitivity, rather than by changes in reward sensitivity. Task difficulty sensitivity emerges as a significant mediator between math anxiety scores and the tendency to avoid math tasks. Neurologically, we pinpointed key networks involved in math avoidance: the ventral valuation network, including the nucleus accumbens and hippocampus, and the cognitive control network, comprising the precuneus, middle cingulate cortex, and temporo-parietal junction. In contrast to their low math anxiety counterparts, HMA individuals exhibit distinct brain activation within these networks. Furthermore, the functional connectivities among these regions effectively differentiate between high and low math anxiety statuses. The altered brain activation and functional connectivities in HMA among both brain networks indicated their deficits in both value processing and cognitive effort allocation. Additionally, activations in the hippocampus, middle cingulate cortex, and posterior insula mediate the relationship between math anxiety scores and the level of math avoidance, further underlining the intricate relationship between neural activity and behavior. Our study illuminates potential cognitive and neural mechanisms，which pave the way for a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with high math anxiety and may inform targeted interventions to mitigate math avoidance behaviors.

Published: July 2024

Abstract

Tumor development, both malignant and benign, is multifactorial and linked both to genetic and epigenetic alterations. DNA methylation, an essential mechanism of epigenetic modification, plays a pivotal role in the development of various diseases, including cancer. Therefore, the development of multi-omic high throughput sequencing methods with the ability of parallel genetic and epigenetic profiling can leverage discoveries in biomedical studies. We recently introduced a novel combination of methodologies, called GBS-MeDIP (Genotype by sequencing integrated with Methylated DNA ImmunoPrecipitation), for the parallel identification of genetic and epigenetic markers in the same reduced fraction of the genome across individuals. In the present paper we show its application in two case studies to investigate methylomic and genetic variations (single nucleotide polymorphisms and copy number variations) in two types of human tumors, gastric and parathyroid. Our method identified epi/genetic markers covering the whole human genome. Our method is a simple, cost-effective approach, which uses small starting amounts of DNA, and enables the interrogation and integration of different levels of omic data in tumor research.

Abstract

Heart failure (HF), the terminal stage of various forms of cardiovascular disease, is a severe disorder characterized by pathological cardiac fibrosis, ventricular remodeling, and reduced heart function. Chamber remodeling is the basic pathological mechanisms of HF. Aerobic exercise training (AET) as one of the non-pharmacological treatments of cardiac rehabilitation, has become one of the important therapeutic means for the long-term management of chronic HF, but how AET can improve the process in HF has not been well clarified. This study aims to determine the role of AET in pathological cardiac remodeling in HF and its potential mechanisms. We identified AET promoting the clearance of apoptosis cardiomyocytes by boosting interactions of cardiomyocytes-macrophages in HF. Lgmn was associated with the efferocytosis elevation of macrophages by AET. In addition, AET, improving the ventricular remodeling and strengthening heart function ultimately, upregulation of the anti-inflammatory mediators and downregulationof the proinflammatory mediators by boosting the expression of Lgmn in chronic repair stage of HF.Our results link AET to efferocytosis elevation of macrophages in the chronic repair stage of heart injury and identify AET as a significant prevention and therapeutic of ventricular remodeling in HF to mediate proper inflammation resolution and cardic function increase.
Interactions between Helcococcus kunzii and Staphylococcus aureus: How a commensal bacterium modulates the virulence and metabolism of a pathogen in a chronic wound in vitro model

Abstract

Background
Staphylococcus aureus is the predominant pathogen isolated in diabetic foot infections. Recently, the skin commensal bacterium Helcococcus kunzii was found to modulate the virulence of this pathogen in an in vivo model. This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between these two bacterial species using a proteomic approach.
Results
Our results demonstrate that H. kunzii can coexist and grow with S. aureus in a Chronic Wound Media (CWM), mimicking an in vitro chronic wound environment. We observed that the secreted proteome of H. kunzii induced a transcriptional effect on S. aureus virulence, leading to a decrease in the expression level of agrA, a gene involved in quorum sensing. The observed effect may be attributed to specific proteins secreted by H. kunzii including polysaccharide deacetylase, peptidoglycan DD-metalloendopeptidase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, trypsin-like peptidase and an extracellular solute-binding protein. These proteins potentially interact with the Agr system, affecting S. aureus virulence. Additionally, the virulence of S. aureus was notably impacted by alterations in iron-related pathways and components of cell wall architecture in the presence of H. kunzii. Furthermore, the overall metabolism of S. aureus was reduced when cocultured with H. kunzii.
Conclusion
Future investigations will focus on elucidating the role of these excreted factors in modulating virulence.
