Managing the affairs of the Union, a brief history of the IUPAC Secretariat
Authors: Mester Zoltan 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Ensuring the efficient functioning of the Union has been the challenge of the Secretaries General for more than a century. The journey of administering the Union began at 49 Rue des Mathurins, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris where the headquarters of the Société de Chimie Industrielle and the French NAO were located. The first Secretary General of the Union, Jean Gérard, also served as Secretary General of these host organizations, and as such the arrangement provided the newly formed Union with stable administrative support and a physical address.

Abstract
Defined as the killing of a newborn individual by a conspecific, infanticide by males is widespread in mammals. Results from this paper used genetic analysis to confirm and characterize the first report of non-parental infanticide in giant armadillos. Genetic evidence demonstrates that the killer male is unrelated to the killed infant but is the father of the next offspring. This evidence supports the sexual selection hypothesis, in which infanticide is used to obtain increased access to breeding females.

Abstract

Background
Malignant lymphoma (ML) is a group of malignant tumors originating from the lymphatic hematopoietic system. Previous studies have found a correlation between circulating immune cells and ML. Nonetheless, the precise influence of circulating immune cells on ML remains uncertain.

Methods
Based on publicly available genetic data, we explored causal associations between 731 immune cell signatures and ML risk. A total of four types of immune signatures, median fluorescence intensities, relative cell, absolute cell, and morphological parameters were included. Primary analysis was performed using inverse variance weighting (IVW) to assess the causal relationship between circulating immune cells and the risk of ML. Sensitivity analysis was conducted using Cochran’s Q test, the Mendelian randomization Egger regression intercept test, and leave-one-out analysis.

Results
ML had a statistically significant effect on immunophenotypes. Twenty-three immunophenotypes were identified to be significantly associated with Hodgkin lymphoma risk through the IVW approach, and the odds ratio values of CD64 on CD14− CD16+ monocyte [2.31, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.41–3.79, P1 = 0.001], IgD+ CD24+ B-cell %lymphocyte (2.06, 95% CI = 1.13–3.79, P1 = 0.018), B-cell %lymphocyte (1.94, 95% CI = 1.08–3.50, P1 = 0.027), CD24+ CD27+ B-cell %lymphocyte (1.68, 95% CI = 1.03–2.74, P1 = 0.039), and CD14+ CD16− monocyte %monocyte (1.60, 95% CI = 1.15–2.24, P1 = 0.006) ranked in the top five. Eleven immunophenotypes were identified to be significantly associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma risk, CD86 on granulocyte (2.35, 95% CI = 1.18–4.69, P1 = 0.015), CD28−CD8+ T-cell absolute count (1.76, 95% CI = 1.03–2.99, P1 = 0.036), CCR2 on myeloid dendritic cell (CD24+ CD27+ B cell, 95% CI = 1.02–1.66, P1 = 0.034), CD3 on effector memory CD8+ T cell (1.29, 95% CI = 1.02–1.64, P1 = 0.012), and natural killer T %lymphocyte (1.28, 95% CI = 1.01–1.62, P1 = 0.046) were ranked in the top five.

Conclusion
This study presents compelling evidence indicating the correlation between circulating immune cells and lymphoma, thus providing guidance for future clinical research.
Research progress on anti-cancer mechanism of salidroside regulating miRNA-mRNA signaling axis
Authors: Wu Xiaoxiong , Zhang Zhendong , Wang Xiaoping 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
MiRNA (MicroRNA) can target and regulate mRNA, thereby influencing the biological processes of tumors. The extract of Tibetan medicine Rhodiola demonstrates anti-tumor effects by targeting and regulating cancer-related signaling molecules and pathways. This review aims to pave the way for integrating salidroside into clinical practice, fully leverage its multi-effective and multi-targeted biological effects, and innovate approaches to tumor prevention and management, thus enhancing cancer prognosis. We initially delve into the occurrence and mechanism of action of miRNA, as well as the anti-tumor mechanism of the miRNA-mRNA signaling axis. Additionally, it was described that salidroside can hinder cancer cell proliferation by inducing autophagy and apoptosis, inhibiting cell metastasis and invasion, and modulating the tumor microenvironment and cell cycle. Moreover, examples from lung cancer, gastric cancer, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma confirm that salidroside regulates the onset and progression of tumors through the miRNA-mRNA signaling axis. This groundbreaking discovery carries significant implications for cancer diagnosis and treatment, offering a novel pathway for therapeutic intervention.
The emerging role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance in the evaluation of cardiac involvement in systemic sclerosis
Authors: Mavrogeni Sophie I. , Pepe Alessia 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune rheumatic disease, characterized by vascular, inflammatory and fibrotic alterations. Cardiac involvement is the « fatal tip of the iceberg» in SSc, as it leads to high morbidity/mortality. Cardiovascular imaging modalities play an important role in the early diagnosis and treatment assessment of cardiac involvement. Echocardiography is the corner stone for evaluation of cardiac involvement, providing information about function, wall motion, pulmonary pressure, pericardium and valvular disease. It is a low-cost modality, widely available, without radiation and with great experience among cardiologists. However, it is a window and operator dependent modality and cannot provide tissue characterization information, absolutely necessary for diagnosis and treatment of cardiac involvement in SSc. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can perform myocardial function and tissue characterization in the same examination without radiation, has excellent reproducibility and is window and operator independent. The great advantage of CMR is the capability to assess peri- myo-vascular inflammation, myocardial ischemia and presence of replacement and diffuse myocardial fibrosis in parallel with ventricular function assessment. The modified Lake Louise criteria including T2, native T1 mapping and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) has been recently used to diagnose inflammatory cardiomyopathy. According to expert recommendations, myocardial inflammation should be considered if at least 2 indices, one T2 and one T1 parameter are positive, whereas native T1 mapping and ECV assess diffuse fibrosis or oedema, even in the absence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). Moreover, transmural/subendocardial LGE following the distribution of coronary arteries and diffuse subendocardial fibrosis not related with epicardial coronary arteries are indicative of epicardial and micro-vascular coronary artery disease, respectively. To conclude, CMR can overcome the limitations of echocardiography by identifying acute/active or chronic myocardial inflammation/fibrosis, ischemia and myocardial infarction using classic and parametric indices in parallel with biventricular function assessment
A morphosyntactic haplology of -i drop in the Korean vocatives
Authors: Yim Changguk 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
An intriguing phenomenon in Korean vocative constructions has not received comprehensive attention in the generative literature: in the vocatives, the morpheme -i undergoes drop, and its absence hinges on its immediate adjacency to the vocative marker -(y)a. This article contributes to the literature by demonstrating that this drop is an instance of morphosyntactic haplological dissimilation. Specifically, I identify two ϕ-features, ϕ[−HON: intimate] and ϕ[animate], and propose the morphosyntactic *<ϕ,ϕ> constraint on the -i drop, targeting adjacent matching ϕ-features. This constraint rules out the illicit sequence of *-i-(y)a because both morphemes share matching ϕ-features and their exponents are immediately string-adjacent, resulting in the -i drop. This analysis offers theoretical insights into the mechanisms underlying the haplological dissimilation pertaining to ϕ-features.

Abstract
The zinc-rich intermetallic phases CaRu2Zn10, SrRu2Zn10 and EuRu2Zn10 were synthesized by induction-melting of the elements in sealed tantalum ampoules followed by annealing to increase the crystallinity. The samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and the structures were refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data: new type, P42/nnm, a = 894.68(14), c = 518.44(9) pm, wR2 = 0.0830, 432 F
2 values, 22 variables for CaRu2Zn10, a = 907.01(10), c = 516.35(6), wR2 = 0.0469, 445 F
2 values, 22 variables for SrRu2Zn10 and a = 902.84(9), c = 515.91(5) pm, wR2 = 0.0469, 434 F
2 values, 22 variables for EuRu2Zn10. The three structures are new ordering variants of the aristotype ThMn12. They are discussed on the basis of a group-subgroup scheme and compared to the known superstructures CaCr2Al10, ErNi10Si2 and ScFe6Ga6. The calcium atoms within the Ca@Ru4Zn16 polyhedra have flattened tetrahedral ruthenium coordination, reducing the calcium site symmetry to

Authors: СКОПИНА М.Ю. , КУЗНЕЦОВА Е.В. , КОСОЛАПОВ Д.Б. 
Published: July 2024

Бактерии выполняют важные и разнообразные функции в экосистемах крупных рек. В среднем и нижнем течении р. Оби в районах городов и населенных пунктов определяли уровень количественного развития и изучали характер пространственного распределения гетеротрофного бактериопланктона и его размерно-морфологических групп. Вода реки характеризовалась высоким содержанием взвешенных частиц (в среднем (2,22 ± 0,21) × 106 мл-1), к которым была прикреплена значительная часть бактерий: в среднем 41,5 % их общей численности и 35,7 % биомассы. Установлено, что концентрация взвешенных частиц и электропроводность воды находятся среди главных факторов, влияющих на количественное развитие и структуру бактериопланктона. Существенное возрастание его количества, в основном за счет мелких одиночных клеток, зарегистрировано ниже впадения в р. Обь ее крупнейшего притока - Иртыша, и расположенного на его берегах г. Ханты-Мансийска. На этом участке Оби средние значения численности и биомассы бактериопланктона составляли (6,87 ± 4,99) × 106 кл/мл и 142 ± 13 мг С/м3 соответственно, что в 1,6-1,7 раза выше, чем в зонах влияния других городов. Пространственное распределение гетеротрофного бактериопланктона в р. Оби определяется главным образом динамикой водных масс, а также влиянием притоков и городов
Bacteria perform important and diverse functions in the ecosystems of large rivers. The abundance, biomass and spatial distribution of heterotrophic bacterioplankton and its size-morphological groups were studied in the middle and lower reaches of the Ob River in the areas impacted by cities. The river water was characterized by a high content of suspended particles (on average (2.22 ± 0.21) × 106 ml-1), to which a significant part of bacteria was attached: on average, 41.5 % of their total number and 35.7 % of their biomass. The concentration of suspended particles and water conductivity were found to be among the main factors affecting the abundance and structure of bacterioplankton. A significant increase in bacterial abundance, mainly due to small free-living bacteria, was recorded below the mouth of the largest tributary, the Irtysh River, and the city of Khanty-Mansiysk. On this section of the Ob River, the average values of bacterioplankton abundance and biomass were (6.87 ± 4.99) × 106 cells/mL and 142 ± 13 mg C/m3, respectively, which were 1.6-1.7 times higher than in the other sections. The spatial distribution of heterotrophic bacterioplankton in the Ob River is mainly determined by the dynamics of water masses and the influence of tributaries and cities.

Published: July 2024

AbstractBackground and AimsResearch on psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT), a promising treatment option for major depression, has not revealed if potential clients show preferences about the demographic characteristics of providers comparable to those common in other forms of psychotherapy. Previous work suggests that honoring comparable client preferences can enhance therapeutic outcomes. This study aims to investigate the importance ratings for a same-gender and a same-race therapist in both cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and PAT.MethodsParticipants (N = 635) responded between December 2020 and January 2021 on Amazon's Mechanical Turk crowdsourcing platform. Participants rated the import of provider characteristics, including having a provider who is the same-gender or the same-race, for a CBT therapist and a PAT guide.ResultsImportance ratings for a same-gender practitioner varied by both race and gender; racial and ethnic minority and female participants had the highest importance ratings for a same-gender practitioner. A same-gender CBT therapist was more important than a same-gender PAT guide. Importance ratings for a same-race practitioner did not differ by therapy type or gender and only varied by race; racial and ethnic minority participants rated a same-race practitioner as more important than White participants.ConclusionsAccommodating client preferences appears important, particularly for members of racial, ethnic, and gender minority groups. A concerted effort to train diverse CBT therapists and PAT guides to meet this demand seems justified.

This is because in listening skills there are factors that make listening difficult, such as clustering, redundancy, reduced forms of language, and so on. For obtaining the good result in listening instruction, teacher should give attention in factors influencing the teaching-learning process such as learning approach. One of its used in language instruction is a Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT). The TBLT approach increases student activity in listening skills. This approach is centered on the student, not the teacher. It encourages teachers to create assignments that can provide a variety of experiences for students in using French. In the TBLT approach, the teacher's task is to assist students in achieving the learning objectives of mastering listening skills. This paper presents an example of learning listening skills using the TBLT approach in learning French listening skills.Keywords : Task-Based Learning, listening skills, learning French
