Abstract
The internal structure of the prestellar core G208.68-19.02-N2 (G208-N2) in the Orion Molecular Cloud 3 (OMC-3) region has been studied with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. The dust continuum emission revealed a filamentary structure with a length of ∼5000 au and an average H2 volume density of ∼6 × 107 cm−3. At the tip of this filamentary structure, there is a compact object, which we call a nucleus, with a radius of ∼150–200 au and a mass of ∼0.1 M
⊙. The nucleus has a central density of ∼2 × 109 cm−3 with a radial density profile of r
−1.87±0.11. The density scaling of the nucleus is ∼3.7 times higher than that of the singular isothermal sphere (SIS). This as well as the very low virial parameter of 0.39 suggests that the gravity is dominant over the pressure everywhere in the nucleus. However, there is no sign of CO outflow localized to this nucleus. The filamentary structure is traced by the N2D+ 3–2 emission, but not by the C18O 2–1 emission, implying the significant CO depletion due to high density and cold temperature. Toward the nucleus, the N2D+ also shows the signature of depletion. This could imply either the depletion of the parent molecule, N2, or the presence of the embedded very-low luminosity central source that could sublimate the CO in the very small area. The nucleus in G208-N2 is considered to be a prestellar core on the verge of first hydrostatic core (FHSC) formation or a candidate for the FHSC.
KilonovAE: Exploring Kilonova Spectral Features with Autoencoders

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Kilonovae are likely a key site of heavy r-process element production in the Universe, and their optical/infrared spectra contain insights into both the properties of the ejecta and the conditions of the r-process. However, the event GW170817/AT2017gfo is the only kilonova so far with well-observed spectra. To understand the diversity of absorption features that might be observed in future kilonovae spectra, we use the TARDIS Monte Carlo radiative transfer code to simulate a suite of optical spectra spanning a wide range of kilonova ejecta properties and r-process abundance patterns. To identify the most common and prominent absorption lines, we perform dimensionality reduction using an autoencoder, and we find spectra clusters in the latent space representation using a Bayesian Gaussian Mixture model. Our synthetic kilonovae spectra commonly display strong absorption by strontium 38Sr ii, yttrium 38Y ii, and zirconium 40Zr i–ii, with strong lanthanide contributions at low electron fractions (Y
e ≲ 0.25). When a new kilonova is observed, our machine-learning framework will provide context on the dominant absorption lines and key ejecta properties, helping to determine where this event falls within the larger “zoo” of kilonovae spectra.
Le traitement de l’humour dans les traductions hispanophones d’À la recherche du temps perdu
Authors: Barège Thomas 
Published: January 2024

Les traductologues soulignent assez la difficulté qu’il y a à traduire l’humour, généralement considéré comme propre à une culture. À cette dimension culturelle de l’humour, s’ajoute dans le cas de la Recherche, un paramètre de difficulté supplémentaire, à savoir le caractère très spécifique de l’humour proustien, souvent subtil voire élitiste. Les stratégies mises en œuvre par les traducteurs des six traductions intégrales de la Recherche sont multiples, et il s’agira « tout simplement » de se demander si Proust est/peut être drôle en espagnol.
Recevoir et traduire Proust en espagnol et en portugais : un voyage euro-américain (1920-1960)
Authors: Sauthier Etienne 
Published: January 2024

Dès décembre 1919, le nom de Proust circule tout autour du monde grâce au prix Goncourt remporté par l’auteur pour À l’ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs : c’est en Espagne qu’il est pour la première fois partiellement traduit. À cet égard il est intéressant que les importateurs de l’auteur en Espagne et en Argentine soient en partie les mêmes. Au Brésil, le premier article consacré spécifiquement à l’auteur de la Recherche, en 1923, reprend une critique publiée quelques semaines auparavant dans la presse madrilène. De la même manière, les traductions complètes latino-américaines de Proust précèdent les traductions luso-portugaises. Il semble dès lors évident qu’il y a dans la diffusion de Proust en espagnol et en portugais une forte circulation entre l’Europe latine et l’Amérique latine, celle-ci fait l’usage de passeurs et connaît des particularismes régionaux.

Height assessment from bones plays a vital role in detecting unidentified bodies and parts of bodies or skeletal remnants, the aim of this study was to estimate the height of individual using the length of humerus of selected group of Hausa ethnic Students in Yusuf Maitama Sule University, Kano State, Nigeria. Two hundred and two (202) subjects were selected from the various faculties of the University, using random sampling method. The age range of the participants was between 18-50 years. Ethical approval was required from the Ethical Committee of the College of Health Science of the institution before the beginning of the research, Informed consents were sought from the participants. Using a stadiometer, standing height of individual was measured to the nearest centimeter (cm) with subject standing barefoot in an anatomical position. The humeral length was measured in between two points:- Distal point-Midpoint of elbow joint and Proximal point- Acromian landmarks, line was measured and documented. Length of humerus obtained was put in regression equation for humerus estimation. From the result obtained indicated that height can be estimated from the humeral length with Coefficient of significance (R=0.628) Coefficient of determinant (R2=0.395). The present study found significant differences between the sex in both humeral length and height of the study population and resolved that the maximum height can be estimated from the length of humerus with effective precision so that may help the archaeological, anthropometric and also forensic investigations.

Authors: Umar A. , Doma U.D. , Egbo M.L. , Bello K.M. 
Published: January 2024

An experiment was conducted at the Poultry Unit of the Teaching and Research Farm, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi to investigate the growth performance and cost benefit of broiler chickens fed Masakwa creamy white sorghum supplemented with three selected synthetic enzymes: Natuzyme, Maxigrain and Phytase. Five experimental diets were formula ted for the broiler chickens at both the starter ( 23% CP ) and finisher ( 20% CP ) phases labeled as Diets 1: maize control, Diet 2: sorghum without enzyme, Diet 3: sorghum supplemented with Natuzyme, Diet 4: sorghum supplemented with Maxigrain and Diet 5: sorghum supplemented with Phytase. Three hundred (300) broiler unsexed “Marshal” chicks were randomly allotted to the dietary treatments with four replications each and 15 birds per replicate in a completely randomized design. Feed and water were supplied ad libitum throughout the experimental period of eight weeks. Results showed that at the starter phase, daily feed intake (49.23-60.26g), daily weight gain (23.11-32.28g) and feed conversion ratio(1.87-2.13g); at the finisher (101.11-146.29g; 30.01-69.07g and 2.12-3.37), and the overall phases (75.17-103.22g; 26.57-50.68g and 2.00-2.75) were significantly (P<0.05) different across the treatments. The best performance was obtained on maize diet closely followed by enzyme supplemented sorghum based diets, while the least was observed in unsupplemented sorghum diet. Based on the cost benefit analysis, Diet 1 (maize based diet) had the cheapest feed cost while the highest value was on Diet 2 (unsupplemented sorghum diet) for all the phases. It can therefore be concluded that Masakwa sorghum supplemented with different enzymes can be used in broiler chicken diets for better performance in comparism with the unsupplemented sorghum diet. It is economical to supplement Masakwa sorghum variety with any of the synthetic enzyme because the feed cost ₦/kg gain is lower than the values on unsupplemented sorghum diet.

The presence of mosquitoes in an academic environment is a great threat to both staff and students’ wellbeing due to the possibility of the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases if bitten by infected mosquitoes. Thus, this study surveyed mosquitoes in male students’ hostels in Federal University of Dutse Jigawa State. The study was carried out using the pyrethroid spray catch method from 0600 hours to 0900 hours. A total of nine hundred and eighty-nine mosquitoes were collected. The predominant specie was Culex quinquefasciatus (61.53%) had a mean value of 152.25±0.20 which was significantly higher (P˂0.05) than Culex papien 7.59%, Aedes aegypti (13.0%) and then Anopheles gambiae (s.l) (7.0%) while there was the least with Ae. albopictus with 0.7% value. Mosquitoes’ abundance significantly varied (P<0.05) with the altitude of building floors in favour of ground floor hostel rooms. Transmission indices revealed two (2) mosquitoes/room and as well as one (1) mosquito/student. Up to 50% of mosquitoes caught were from rooms where no insecticide aerosols were used. About 19% of mosquitoes were caught from such rooms where the use of insecticide-treated bed nets and aerosol insecticide were used. Owing to the results recorded in this study, male students living in the hostel should avoid human-vector contact through the informed use of insecticides and treated bed nets.

Published: January 2024

Purpose: To investigate the applicability of perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) in evaluating the curative effect of endostar (EN) combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in advanced cervical cancer.
Methods: Between January 2021 and December 2022, 85 patients from Gansu Provincial Maternity and Child-care Hospital, China with advanced cervical cancer received NAC intravenously and underwent pre and post-chemotherapy PWI. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) consisted of paclitaxel (135 - 175 mg/m2) and carboplatin (300 - 400 mg/m2). The NAC regimen comprised three courses, with each course lasting three weeks. General data, gross tumor volume (GTV), maximum signal intensity loss rate (MSILR), tumor regression rate (TRR), and post-chemotherapy MSILR reduction were compared between effective and non-effective groups.
Results: There was a significant difference in International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging, pathological types and proportion of lymph node metastasis between effective and non-effective groups (p < 0.05). At the end of 3 cycles of chemotherapy, ORR was 72.94 %. After treatment with EN combined with NAC, GTV and MSILR in effective group were significantly lower compared to non-effective group (p < 0.05). After chemotherapy, the mean relative ratio (MRR) and MSILR in effective group were significantly higher compared to non-effective group (p < 0.05). Also, MSILR before treatment (EN combined with NAC) was positively correlated with TRR after chemotherapy in patients with advanced cervical cancer (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Perfusion-weighted imaging effectively changes tumor volume in patients with advanced cervical cancer after treatment with EN combined with NAC, and this has high application in evaluating the drug’s curative effect.

Authors: Kaya Baştürk , Aladağ Caner 
Published: January 2024

<p>This study aims to reveal the metaphor that Turkish university students have about the concept of "climate change". The research was carried out with the students at Necmettin Erbakan University, Ahmet Keleşoğlu Faculty of Education (Geography 17, Biology 26, History 47) and Faculty of Health Sciences (Nutrition and Dietetics Department 74) in the spring term of 2021-2022 academic year. The research group consisted of a total of 164 students (124 female, 40 male). The data of the research were collected by qualitative research method and the research was organized in a phenomenological design. To determine the perceptions of the students about the concept of climate change, a semi-structured form containing the expression "climate change is like............because........." was prepared and the students were asked to complete the sentence given in the form. The data obtained were subjected to content analysis. Tables were created by calculating the number of metaphors in each category, how many students repeated the metaphor (frequency), and percentage values. When the findings of the research are evaluated, it is seen that a total of 96 valid metaphors were produced by the students. These metaphors were coded by considering their common features and 8 different conceptual categories were formed. Some of these categories are <em>"Climate change leading to uncertainty", </em>"<em>Climate change as a symptom of danger/worry", </em>"<em>Climate change as the beginning of change</em>", "<em>Climate change as the</em> <em>work of insensitivity", "Climate change as a factor forcing to get used to the new situation", "Climate change with a disruptive effect", "Climate change as a cause of despair", "Climate change as a source of different thoughts", </em>and the<em> </em>number of metaphor and frequencies of these categories are calculated and given in tables. When the findings obtained are analyzed, it is seen that the most recurrent metaphor for climate change includes concepts such as <em>human (f=5), mental state (f=4), life (f=3), a sick body (f=3), disappointment (f=3), cancer (f=3), extinction (f=4), moving (f=4), disaster (f=3), end of the world (f=3), and chaos (f=2). </em>When the metaphor produced by the students in this study are analyzed, it is seen that the perceptions of university students about the concept of climate change are diverse and rich.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0660/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Paul Jeyakumari , M Phazani Sankar , Ravishankar Nivetha , Rajan Ravindran 
Published: January 2024

Background: Stress most certainly plays a significant role in everyday life. The natural biological balance is disrupted by stressful events, which has a negative impact on normal physiological and psychological function. In the last 20 years, there hasn't been much advancement in the creation of medications, efficient drug delivery systems, or treatments for Central Nervous System (CNS)-related issues. The ancient Ayurvedic herb Celastrus paniculatus (CP) has been used for millennia as a memory booster, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, sedative, and antiepileptic drug. The neuropharmacological effects of the seed extract have been thoroughly studied in a variety of laboratories, and there are numerous findings that support their nootropic function. Aim: To investigate the effects of Celastrus paniculatus against restraint stress, induced behavioral and biochemical changes in male Wistar albino rats. Methods: The animals were divided into five groups. Each group includes six animals. Group I: Control, Group II: Restraint stress (6hrs for 21 days), Group III: Celastrus paniculatus (400mg/kg, orally) and restraint Stress, Group IV: Celastrus paniculatus alone, Group V: Vehicle. The behavioral changes are assessed by Place Preference test, Elevated plus Maze. Animals were euthanized and the discrete regions of the brain were homogenized for biochemical estimation, such as Catalase, SOD, LPO, GPX, GSH, Vitamin C. Animal’s cognitive and anxiety-related behavior and antioxidants were examined the following day after the stress procedure and treatment. Results: Following a period of 21 days of being subjected to restraint stress, the behavioral changes were reduced in stress group when compared to control group, and also the levels of Lipid peroxidase significant (P<0.05) increased in the restraint stress group as compared to the control group. Enzymatic antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), Vitamin C, Glutathione experienced a significant (P<0.05) reduction in the restraint stress group as opposed to the control group. Conclusion: Chronic restraint stress has adverse effects on the animal’s cognition, memory, and learning abilities as well as anxiety-related behavior. However, Celastrus paniculatus treatment shows enhanced performance in anxiety-related Behavior and antioxidant properties.

Published: January 2024

Background: In siddha system of medicine diarrhoea can be compared with kazhichal. Diarrhoea results from several factors like intestinal hyper-motility, malabsorbtion of water, inflammation of GIT or use of laxatives. In siddha literature, the preparation named lagu gangathara chooranam is indicated for kazhichal. Aim: The study aims to perform the in-silico computational studies of phytoconstituents of the siddha formulation lagu gangathara chooranam targeted against m3 muscarinic acetyl choline receptor for anti-diarrhoeal activity. Methods: The retrieved phytocomponents were subjected for docking calculations against target enzyme m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. Results: The computational analysis retrived 11 bio-active compounds from herbal formulation. It includes limonene, α-humulene, cyperolone, lupeol, beta amyrin, betulinic acid, mangiferin, quercetin, caryophyllene and luteolin. These compounds significantly bind against the target m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. Hence these phytocompounds may produce significant anti-diarrheal activity by hindering the activity of m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor in the intestinal region which mediates the diarrhoea. Conclusion: Further clinical trials or experimental studies could be conducted to confirm the effectiveness of this siddha formulation lagu gangathara chooranam against diarrhoea.

Recent years have seen significant improvements in the identification, management, and study of metabolic illnesses, particularly diabetes. In addition to the present synthetic medicines, current research is focused on developing an alternate source of medication from natural resources for managing diabetes. Objective: To investigate the antioxidant and antidiabetic efficacy of a poly-herbal formulation (PHF) by in vitro models. Methods: The Polyherbal formulation was screened for the presence of phytochemical constituents. The total phenolic and flavonoids content of the formulation was also analysed. The in vitro antioxidant and antidiabetic activity of the formulation (PHF) were calculated. Results: The Polyherbal formulation showed presence of phenols, flavonoids, steroids, and saponins. The IC50 value of PHF4 was found to be 42.70µg/ml in DPPH radical scavenging assay. It has shown high levels of phenols (172.6±0.68 mg/g), flavonoids (137.3±0.91 mg/g) and had IC50 values of 422.50 µg/ml and 438.71 µg/ml for amylase and glucosidase, respectively. Conclusion: The results indicate that Polyherbal Formulation (PHF4) had significant antioxidant activity as well as a strong inhibitory effect on α -amylase and α -glucosidase. However, for further validation of the above findings, in vivo antidiabetic study of polyherbal formulation will be carried out using animal models.
