Published: March 2024

Abstract

Objectives
One main challenge for textile implants is to limit the foreign body reaction (FBR) and in particular the fibrosis development once the device is implanted. Fibrotic tissue in-growth depends on the fiber size, the pore size, and the organization of the fibrous construction. Basically, non-woven fibrous assemblies present a more favorable interface to biological tissues than do woven structures. However, they are mechanically less strong. In order to combine both strength and appropriate topography properties, the design of a hybrid fibrous construct was considered and discussed in this work.

Methods
Two polyethylene terephthalate (PET) weaves (satin and plain) were assembled with a non-woven PET mat, using an ultrasound welding process.

Results
The physical and mechanical properties of the construction as well as its ability to interact with the biological environment were then evaluated. In particular, the wettability of the obtained substrate as well as its ability to interact with mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) at 24 h (adhesion) and 72 h (proliferation) in vitro were studied.

Conclusions
The results show that the non-woven layer helps limiting cell proliferation in the plain weave construction and promotes conversely proliferation in the satin construction.

Published: March 2024

AbstractIn the recent industry field, automation has become the most important role in production processes to improve efficiency, increase production, and reduce workers. Sorting the products based on their color is a common task in the industries, but using manual sorting may take a longer time and human error may occur, especially if the production quantities are very large. To contribute to improving the quality and speed of production, we have proposed a new system to automatically separate products based on their color. This article presents a new system for identifying and separating industrial products based on their colors. The implemented system consists of three sensors used to detect the colors of the products, four chutes, and two conveyor belts designed to guide objects along the manufacturing path, and three push mechanisms to place objects in their designated places. The system includes an emergency interface, a reset interface, a stop interface, as well as communication using the PN (PROFINET Process Field Net) protocol, a programmable logic controller, and a 1511-1 central processing unit. This system has been precisely programmed and simulated using FACTORY I/O software and TIA PORTAL software to control and monitor the system effectively. The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system also includes a Human–Machine Interface user interface for maximum control. The performance of this system was tested by sorting 250 objects of different colors. These tests resulted in the successful separation of a total of 85 blue objects, 89 green objects, and 86 gray (metallic) objects within a time period of 20 min. This system shows wide applicability in various industries including diamond mining, recycling, and grain manufacturing sectors.
Rassismus verklagen? Chancen und Grenzen strategischer Klagen gegen rassistische Diskriminierung
Authors: Bartsch Samera , Beckmann Lea 
Published: March 2024

Zusammenfassung
Im Kampf gegen Rassismus in Deutschland bieten auch Recht und Gesetze Möglichkeiten zur Intervention. Dieser Beitrag untersucht das Potenzial antirassistischer Klagen anhand von drei Beispielfällen. Es wird aufgezeigt, dass Klagen gegen ‚Racial Profiling‘ das rechtliche Verständnis von Rassismus geschärft haben. Demgegenüber veranschaulicht ein Fall von Rassismus auf dem Wohnungsmarkt die Hürden der Inanspruchnahme rechtlicher Möglichkeiten. Anschließend wird gezeigt, dass Kooperationen zwischen individuellen Kläger*innen und antirassistischen Initiativen eine gesteigerte gesellschaftliche Aufmerksamkeit hervorbringen können. Zum Schluss diskutiert der Beitrag die Befunde und formuliert auch über die Beispiele hinausgehende Chancen und Grenzen von strategischen Klagen gegen rassistische Diskriminierung.
The role of syntax in hashtag popularity
Authors: Wan Ming Feng 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Research on hashtag popularity presumes hashtag popularity to be correlated with its semantics and lexical clarity, and the popularity of its topic. However, within a single event, hashtags of identical stances can have contrasting popularity; one may attribute this to the assumption that a certain type of hashtag is preferred, but hashtags of identical syntactic format can also have contradictory popularity across events. We theorize that a hashtag’s popularity is heavily impacted by whether there are preexisting popular hashtags of similar syntactic format within the language.
The EU and environmental education: a multimodal ecological discourse analysis
Authors: Zollo Sole Alba 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
In the last few years, the European Union (EU) has been creating a wide range of educational resources for teachers and students to encourage discussion in class on sensitive issues such as environmental protection and sustainability. Following the tradition of multimodal discourse analysis and research on ecolinguistics, this study aims to analyse the webpage “Environment, climate and energy”, from the EU website Learning Corner, focussing on a sample of informative and didactic resources aimed at explaining the institution’s environmental policies to younger generations. In particular, the analysis will try to detect the main verbal and visual discursive strategies employed by the EU in order to communicate the institutional discourse on environmental protection to the young and develop eco-friendly consciousness. Furthermore, the research will also take into account the intersemiotic relation of the collected data and see whether the EU employs any positive discursive features as alternatives to the mainstream environment discourses to promote sustainability and sensitize young citizens to it.
Fractional-order lead networks to avoid limit cycle in control loops with dead zone and plant servo system
Authors: Maione Guido 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe fractional-order controllers (FOCs) have recently had a significant impact on control applications. However, they still need further research for feedback systems with hard nonlinearities, such as dead zones. The above compelling evidence motivates the design of a new robust FOC to avoid limit cycles caused by dead zones in the control loops. The proposed FOC consists of the cascade of two shifted in frequency, fractional-order lead networks. They provide high-value and sufficiently flat phase leads in sufficiently large frequency intervals. In this way, the linear part of the control loop can be easily shaped to achieve avoidance of limit cycles. The article applies classical concepts, such as the Nyquist plot and describing function method, to derive guidelines for designing the free parameters of the FOC. Moreover, a realization algorithm and a parameter setting procedure make the new FOC easily implementable in engineering practice.
Das a-spirierte Selbst

Published: March 2024

Zusammenfassung
Die Rezension behandelt George Pattisons Phänomenologie eines christlichen, a-spirierten Leben im ersten Band seiner dreibändig angelegten Philosophy of Christian Life. Dabei wird insbesondere Folgendes fokussiert: Die Art, wie Pattison die von Franz von Sales entlehnte Person der Philothea als Figuration frommen Lebens nutzt; die Frage nach der Möglichkeit von a-spirierten Leben in institutionellen Machtstrukturen und die medio-passive Konstitution des devout life.
Und zum Schluss: Liebe
Authors: Zeller Kinga 
Published: March 2024

Zusammenfassung
Pattison behandelt in dem letzten Band seiner Philosophie des christlichen Lebens die titelgebende Frage nach einer Metaphysik der Liebe. Die Diskussion fokussiert sich auf eine Wiedergabe dreier zentraler Gedankengänge und Elemente: Zunächst auf die Rolle der Sprache mit ihren Formen als Ruf und Versprechen sowie anschließend auf das Verhältnis von Liebe und Zeit als Chronos und Kairos, in deren Verbindung Pattison seine Gedanken von einer individuellen auf eine kirchliche Ebene ausweitet. Schließlich wird nachgezeichnet, inwiefern für Pattison aus seinen dargelegten Gedanken eine unumgängliche menschliche Solidarität folgt. Kritisch wird hinterfragt, wieso eine universale Liebe, wie sie Pattison vorschwebt, Selbstliebe generell ausschließt.
GSH-related enzyme activity and tumor relation: glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase status under hypoxia in HepG2 cells
Authors: Ozensoy Guler Ozen , Ercan Elif , Uysal Tugba Kevser 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Objectives
In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), tumorigenesis, hypoxia and reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in altering the tumor microenvironment (TME). Until now, the time-dependent alteration of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), the antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) under hypoxic conditions in HCC were not clear. Consequently, our main target was to investigate the role of GPx and GR status in HCC cell line (HepG2) under hypoxic conditions.

Methods
HIF-1α protein levels in cell lysates were determined by ELISA assay and protein expressions were identified using western blot. GPx and GR activity levels of the cell lysates were measured spectrophotometrically.

Results
HIF-1α protein levels were determined under normoxic and hypoxic conditions (p<0.001). Also, HIF-1α protein levels and expressions were observed under time-dependent hypoxic conditions, the HIF-1α protein level is found to be reached its peak point at 4 h in the HepG2 cell line. We also have detected decreased activity levels of GPx and increased GR activity levels under hypoxia for 4 h (p<0.001).

Conclusions
More than 4 h of exposure to hypoxic environment reducted the HIF-1α levels in HCC cells. According to the results, we suggest the ideal exposure time to hypoxic conditions as 4 h for the HepG2 cell line. In addition, hypoxia also stimulated the activity levels of GPx and GR. Our results suggest that the activity levels of GPx and/or GR enzymes may be therapeutic targets in the hypoxia-dependent HCC tumorigenesis process.
Opacité et Intermédialité chez le cinéma de Marguerite Duras
Authors: Guimarães de Oliveira Luciene 
Published: March 2024

Le cinéma de Marguerite Duras, notamment ses films des années 1970, s’oppose au cinéma grand public à travers plusieurs procédés, tel que celui de briser l’illusion réaliste et référentielle, ou le principe de transparence. Par exemple, l’apparition du matériel de tournage dans la mise en scène, ou la caméra, met en évidence l’opacité de son cinéma. Nous proposons donc d’interroger le cinéma durassien selon ses procédés dysnarratifs, ainsi que son rapport de nature intermédiale avec la littérature.

Opacidade e intermedialidade no cinema de Marguerite Duras
Resumo: O cinema de Marguerite Duras, especialmente seus filmes dos anos 1970, opõe-se ao cinema convencional por meio de vários processos, como a quebra da ilusão realista e referencial, ou o princípio da transparência. Por exemplo, a aparição de equipes de filmagem na mise-en-scène, ou a câmera, destaca a opacidade de seu cinema. Para tanto, propomos questionar o cinema durassiano segundo seus processos disnarrativos, bem como sua relação intermediária com a literatura.

Hungarian auxiliaries revisited
Authors: Kalivoda Ágnes , Prószéky Gábor 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis paper uses a corpus linguistic approach to investigate finite verbs co-occurring with infinitives. It aims to explore a range of similar verbs along a set of formal-distributional features based on Kálmán C. et al.'s (1989) study. We used hierarchical agglomerative clustering to analyze the data. The analysis identifies four clusters, two comprising verbs more auxiliary-like than the others. The results of this experiment are broadly similar to those of Kálmán C. et al. (1989); however, we also find remarkable differences. Most importantly, the so-called stress-avoiding verbs are likely to occur between the preverb and its associated infinitive, indicating that they are much closer to central auxiliaries than previously assumed.

One of the causes of under-five nutrition problems is the lack of knowledge of nutrition and health, attitudes and behavior of mother's feeding. This study aims to analyze differences in mothers' knowledge and dietary diversity of toddlers before and after being given health food education with video media and leaflets 2 times for 14 days.
Method: This is a quasi-experimental design with pre-post test control group design. The research subjects were 44 divided into 2 groups. The statistical test results showed p value < 0.05 on the variables of mother's knowledge and dietary diversity of toddlers before and after healthy food education from 2 groups.
Result: The knowledge of mothers of toddlers in The Intervention Group, before education was partially in the sufficient category as many as 12 people (59,1%), and almost all of them were in the good knowledge category as many as 19 people (86,4%) after education with a mean±SD value of 76,5 ± 23,2 before education, increased to 90,1 ± 10,8 after education. The Intervention Group's average dietary diversity score of toddlers was 4,27 ± 0,9. After education, most of the toddlers' dietary diversity was in the high category, namely 13 (59.1%), the moderate category was 9 (40,9%), and none were in the low category with an average score of 5,91 ± 1,27.
Conclusion: This study has identified a significant difference in knowledge of mothers and toddlers' dietary diversity before and after education with video media and leaflets. Education with video media and leaflets effectively increases mother's knowledge and toddler's dietary diversity.

Introduction: Irregular menstrual cycle is one indicator of reproductive health disorders. Nutritional status and behaviour are risk factors for menstrual cycle irregularities. This study aimed to analyse the correlation between nutritional status and behaviour with the menstrual cycle in adolescent girls.
Methods: This research was a cross sectional study with 73 students from High School Sidoarjo, Indonesia as respondents. Nutritional status of respondents was obtained from anthropometric measurements, food intake with three times 24 hours food records, body image with MBSRQ-AS questionnaire, and physical activity was collected from the IPAQ questionnaire. Data were analysed using Spearman's test on SPSS 26.0.
Results: The most common menstrual cycle problem experienced by respondents was oligomenorrhea (8.2%). The majority of respondents had good nutritional status based on BMI/A (67.1%) while 50.7% of respondents had a risk of chronic energy deficiency. The majority of respondents had intake less than needed. As much as 82.2% of respondents had moderate physical activity, while the body image score of respondents showed that 72.6% of respondents had a positive body image. The p-value in the correlation test was <0.05 in each variable. Menstrual cycles had the strongest correlation with nutritional status.
Conclusion: Nutritional status and behaviour factors are related to the menstrual cycle in adolescent girls. Health promotion regarding reproductive health and nutrition in adolescent girls can be further improved, considering that the menstrual cycles may have an impact on fertility in the future.

Introduction: Honey and Garlic is recognized to offer several health advantages due to its numerous constituents, one of which being flavonoids. Flavonoids’ pharmacological activity includes antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal, antiviral, and immunomodulatory properties. Honey's immunomodulatory action plays a vital role in immune system boosting. The purpose of this study is to determine the immunomodulatory effect of fermented garlic honey, which is considered to have a synergistic effect, using two alternative techniques.
Methods: Macrophage phagocytic activity is the first approach, while the delayed type hypersensitivity is the second. Each method used 30 male rats (Rattus norvegicus) divided into 5 groups, where each group consisted of 6 rats. Group I negative (Placebo 0,005 g/kg BW), group II positive (Stimuno 0,005 g/kg BW), group III FGH dose I (1,5 g/kg BW), group IV FGH dose II (3 g/kg BW), group V FGH dose III (4,5 g/kg BW). The dosage form was orally given for 21 days. The Macrophage phagocytic activity method measured %activity of macrophage phagocytosis using a microscope. The rats were injected with an antigen which is Staphylococcus aureus by intraperitoneal route.
Results: The Delayed Type Hypersensitivity was measured volume change of the rat’s feet at the 4, 24, and 48 hours using a plethysmometer. Based on the results, fermented garlic honey had an immunomodulatory effect. The dose 2 (3 g/kg BW) has the highest effectiveness as an immunomodulator. Fermented Garlic Honey may be concluded to be efficient as an immunomodulator by enhancing the macrophage phagocytic activity indicator and lowering the edema volume of the rat.
Conclusion: Fermented garlic honey can increase the immune system and can be used as an immunostimulant. The most effective dose of fermented garlic honey as immunomodulator is dose 2 was 3 g/kg BW.
