In Silico Predictive Homology Modeling of PKHD-1 Protein: A Comparative Study among Three Different Species
Authors: SB Arunannamalai 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
PKHD-1 (Polycystic Kidney and Hepatic Disease-1) gene encodes a vital pro- tein critical for renal and hepatic functions. Mutations in PKHD-1 lead to a severe type of disorder in early infancy called Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD). The PKHD-1 protein structure remains unavailable in databases such as PDB, with only a few low-resolution structures accessible in the Swiss Model Template Library. Therefore, Homology Modeling was employed to generate structural models of PKHD-1 proteins derived from three different species [Homo sapiens (Human), Mus musculus (Mouse), Canis lupus familiaris (Dog)]. The mouse PKHD-1 protein was structurally predicted by employing the AlphaFold DB model based on the PKHD1 ciliary IPT domain of fibro- cystin/polyductin from Rattus norvegicus as a reference template. Additionally, the human and dog PKHD-1 proteins were modeled using the AlphaFold DB model of the G8 domain-containing protein from Marmota monax as the template for the prediction process. In addition, we employ GOR4 for analyzing secondary structure, ProtParam for assessing physicochemical properties, QMEAN for eval- uating the quality of protein structure, and MolProbity for validating protein structures along with obtaining the Ramachandran plot. The binding pockets were also predicted using P2Rank tool (PrankWeb web server).

Published: October 2023

Abstract

International collaborative research projects conducted at academic research institutions, including complex basic science, clinical, and translational HIV/AIDS research, require intensive communication, coordination, and thoughtful relationship-building at all institutional levels and especially require the support of experienced and well-trained Research Administrators. To be successful, global research teams must be not only scientifically adept, but supported by a staff skilled in identifying opportunities, submitting proposals, and managing all aspects of award administration and reporting. Using a National Institutes of Health, Fogarty International Center funded training grant, the project team aimed to develop a comprehensive Research administration capacity-building program that would improve the support provided to investigators at Mbarara University of Science and Technology in Uganda through collaboration with the University of Virginia in the United States and expand future funding success for innovative HIV/AIDS and HIV-related research. The experiences and achievements of conducting a comprehensive, primarily remote training program are documented for other global partnerships to highlight successes and uncover opportunities to ensure sustainability. Despite the hurdles of the COVID-19 pandemic, this program was able to succeed through a long-term relationship of mutual respect between the two institutions. Project success was achieved by the team’s unwavering commitment to collectively explore and implement various methods to achieve its goals.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
The article presents the outcomes of an assessment of hydrographic network changes within the Almaty city, utilizing geographic information system (GIS) technology and Earth remote sensing data. Two gauge stations were selected along the main rivers within the Almaty city. To identify distinctive alterations in these rivers, hydrological data series encompassing the maximum runoff from 1970 to 2021 were collected and subjected to statistical analysis. Differential integral curves were constructed to pinpoint periods corresponding to peak and trough runoff levels. For each of these identified periods, the processing of satellite imagery allowed for the computation of meandering coefficients for the river channels. Additionally, refinements were made to the slope values of the rivers during these same timeframes, and connectivity graphs were established to elucidate the relationship between slope and liquid runoff for each period. The analysis encompassed an assessment of the impact of anthropogenic factors on both artificial and natural bodies of water while also considering shifts in the boundaries of the Almaty city. The findings derived from this study have practical applications in the planning and design of water supply systems and in the implementation of measures aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of anthropogenic factors on water bodies.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
This work reports the use of Mangifera kemanga leaves (MKL) treated with ethanol and nitric acid as an adsorbent to remove Cr(VI) and Pb(II) ions at different pHs, adsorbent dosages, times, initial metal ion concentrations, and temperatures. The MKL's maximum adsorption capacity was 213 mg/g for Cr(VI) at pH 2 and 89 mg/g for Pb(II) at pH 6. Batch experiments showed that MKL follows the Langmuir isotherm model in absorbing Cr(VI) and Pb(II). The Cr(VI) and Pb(II) adsorption kinetics are best suited by the pseudo-second-order kinetics model. Thermodynamic data studies indicated that surface complexation coexisted with ion exchange as the preliminary removal means. The results implied that MKL could potentially remove Cr(VI) and Pb(II).

Published: October 2023

Abstract

This study was conducted in two natural meadows: first, soils were irrigated with raw wastewater (SIRWW) and in the second, soils were irrigated with treated wastewater (SITWW). Earthworms were sampled in eight soil blocks spaced 10 m apart at each site. Earthworm community was characterized and compared using density, biomass, composition, structure, species richness, and diversity parameters. At both meadows, 459 earthworm individuals from two families and seven species were collected. The highest earthworm density and species richness were recorded at SIRWW. Nicodrilus caligenus was the most abundant species. Most of earthworm community parameters decreased significantly at SITWW. Only two species (N. caligenus and Octodrilus complanatus) were common between the two grasslands. Among the seven species identified at both meadows, four (Allolobophora longa, Eisenia foetida, Allolobophora rosea, Allolobophora chlorotica) were exclusively present in SIRWW, whereas a single species (Amynthas sp.) was characterized in SITWW. Three ecological earthworm groups (epigeic, endogeic, and anectic) were represented in SIRWW, with the dominance of endogeics. Further studies are needed to quantify pollution in this soils and the accumulation of pollutant load in earthworms. It is also important to highlight the relationship between the abundance and diversity of earthworms in these two ecosystems with soil biological activity.

Wstęp. Zawał mięśnia sercowego, jest dużym zagrożeniem zdrowia i życia wielu Polaków. Choroby układu krążenia w wielu przypadkach doprowadzają do niepełnosprawności a często i śmierci. Chory po zawale mięśnia sercowego powinien wprowadzić kilka zmian dotyczących jego trybu postępowania, ma to również wpływ na jakość życia.
Cel pracy. Celem badań jest ocena jakości życia pacjentów po przebytym zawale mięśnia sercowego.
Materiał i metody. Badania zostały przeprowadzone w Wojewódzkim Szpitalu Specjalistycznym im. Bł. Ks. Jerzego Popiełuszki we Włocławku. W badaniu udział wzięło 100 pacjentów po przebytym zawale mięśnia sercowego. Badania były anonimowe i dobrowolne. Narzędziem badawczym był kwestionariusz ceny jakości życia SF – 36 oraz ankieta własnego autorstwa składająca się z 5 pytań. W pierwszej części ankiety, pierwsze 5 pytań dotyczy danych społeczno- demograficznych, natomiast druga część to kwestionariusz oceny jakości życia. Badania poddano analizie statystycznej testem t dla prób niezależnych i jednoczynnikowej ANOVA.
Wyniki. W aspekcie funkcjonowania fizycznego badani mogli uzyskać od 0 do 45 pkt. Średni wynik wyniósł 15,70 pkt. przy odchyleniu standardowym równym 12,188 pkt. W aspekcie ograniczenia z powodu zdrowia respondenci mogli uzyskać od 0 do 20 pkt. Wynik średni wyniósł 11,68 pkt przy odchyleniu standardowym SD=7,339.
Wnioski. Płeć, wiek oraz wykształcenie badanych po przebytym zawale serca nie różnicowała oceny jakości życia, natomiast miejsce zamieszkania wpływało na różnicowanie oceny stanu zdrowia przez badanych, niżej oceniali swój stan zdrowia mieszkańcy miasta niż wsi. Stan emocjonalny i fizyczny pacjenci oceniali gorzej niż sprzed wystąpienia zawału mięśnia sercowego. Występowały liczne ograniczenia fizyczne oraz problemy emocjonalne takie jak, np. występowanie depresji. Współwystępowanie chorób różnicowało ocenę aspektu Funkcjonowanie fizyczne. Istotnie niżej aspekt ten ocenili badani chorujący poza sercem także na otyłość niż chorzy na cukrzycę i nadciśnienie tętnicze.
Tensorial Principal Component Analysis in Detecting Temporal Trajectories of Purchase Patterns in Loyalty Card Data: Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Autio Reija , Virta Joni , Nordhausen Klaus , Fogelholm Mikael , Erkkola Maijaliisa , Nevalainen Jaakko 
Published: October 2023

Background
Loyalty card data automatically collected by retailers provide an excellent source for evaluating health-related purchase behavior of customers. The data comprise information on every grocery purchase, including expenditures on product groups and the time of purchase for each customer. Such data where customers have an expenditure value for every product group for each time can be formulated as 3D tensorial data.

Objective
This study aimed to use the modern tensorial principal component analysis (PCA) method to uncover the characteristics of health-related purchase patterns from loyalty card data. Another aim was to identify card holders with distinct purchase patterns. We also considered the interpretation, advantages, and challenges of tensorial PCA compared with standard PCA.

Methods
Loyalty card program members from the largest retailer in Finland were invited to participate in this study. Our LoCard data consist of the purchases of 7251 card holders who consented to the use of their data from the year 2016. The purchases were reclassified into 55 product groups and aggregated across 52 weeks. The data were then analyzed using tensorial PCA, allowing us to effectively reduce the time and product group-wise dimensions simultaneously. The augmentation method was used for selecting the suitable number of principal components for the analysis.

Results
Using tensorial PCA, we were able to systematically search for typical food purchasing patterns across time and product groups as well as detect different purchasing behaviors across groups of card holders. For example, we identified customers who purchased large amounts of meat products and separated them further into groups based on time profiles, that is, customers whose purchases of meat remained stable, increased, or decreased throughout the year or varied between seasons of the year.

Conclusions
Using tensorial PCA, we can effectively examine customers’ purchasing behavior in more detail than with traditional methods because it can handle time and product group dimensions simultaneously. When interpreting the results, both time and product dimensions must be considered. In further analyses, these time and product groups can be directly associated with additional consumer characteristics such as socioeconomic and demographic predictors of dietary patterns. In addition, they can be linked to external factors that impact grocery purchases such as inflation and unexpected pandemics. This enables us to identify what types of people have specific purchasing patterns, which can help in the development of ways in which consumers can be steered toward making healthier food choices.
Characteristics and Range of Reviews About Technologies for Aging in Place: Scoping Review of Reviews
Authors: Bergschöld Jenny M , Gunnes Mari , Eide Arne H , Lassemo Eva 
Published: October 2023

Background
It is a contemporary and global challenge that the increasing number of older people requiring care will surpass the available caregivers. Solutions are needed to help older people maintain their health, prevent disability, and delay or avoid dependency on others. Technology can enable older people to age in place while maintaining their dignity and quality of life. Literature reviews on this topic have become important tools for researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and decision makers who need to navigate and access the extensive available evidence. Due to the large number and diversity of existing reviews, there is a need for a review of reviews that provides an overview of the range and characteristics of the evidence on technology for aging in place.

Objective
This study aimed to explore the characteristics and the range of evidence on technologies for aging in place by conducting a scoping review of reviews and presenting an evidence map that researchers, policy makers, and practitioners may use to identify gaps and reviews of interest.

Methods
The review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews). Literature searches were conducted in Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus using a search string that consisted of the terms “older people” and “technology for ageing in place,” with alternate terms using Boolean operators and truncation, adapted to the rules for each database.

Results
A total of 5447 studies were screened, with 344 studies included after full-text screening. The number of reviews on this topic has increased dramatically over time, and the literature is scattered across a variety of journals. Vocabularies and approaches used to describe technology, populations, and problems are highly heterogeneous. We have identified 3 principal ways that reviews have dealt with populations, 5 strategies that the reviews draw on to conceptualize technology, and 4 principal types of problems that they have dealt with. These may be understood as methods that can inform future reviews on this topic. The relationships among populations, technologies, and problems studied in the reviews are presented in an evidence map that includes pertinent gaps.

Conclusions
Redundancies and unexploited synergies between bodies of evidence on technology for aging in place are highly likely. These results can be used to decrease this risk if they are used to inform the design of future reviews on this topic. There is a need for an examination of the current state of the art in knowledge on technology for aging in place in low- and middle-income countries, especially in Africa.
Una mirada a las primeras reglamentaciones de automóviles de Ciudad de México (1903) y Santiago de Chile (1908)
Authors: Rodríguez Herrejón Guillermo Fernando 
Published: October 2023

Desde finales del siglo XIX e inicios del siglo XX los automóviles se convirtieron en verdaderos signos de modernidad alrededor del mundo, al representar imaginarios de adelanto tecnológico y al constituirse en la forma de movilidad urbana por excelencia, en un proceso que remplazó a la movilidad animal, de vapor y eléctrica en favor de la mecanizada por medio de combustión. Este trabajo tiene como finalidad reflexionar sobre el uso de las primeras reglamentaciones automovilísticas en dos ciudades Latinoamericanas, Ciudad de México y Santiago de Chile, para ayudar a entender cómo fue el proceso de caracterización de esos aparatos como signos de modernidad, y esto se hará por medio de observar el contenido discursivo de esas normativas, que pintaban a los aparatos como medios de adelanto tecnológico, de civilidad y de urbanidad, que necesitaban ser controlados para garantizar sus usos correctos y evitar sus peligros. Concretamente se observarán los contenidos de las reglamentaciones de 1903 (México) y 1908 (Chile), para realizar un ejercicio de contraste, al centrarse en puntos en común y en diferencias en cuanto a cómo se buscaba controlar a esos novedosos artefactos al momento de su introducción en esas ciudades.
Predicting physiological traits of rice from hyperspectral data under CO2 and drought treatments
Authors: Ting To-Chia , Park Sylvia , Couture John J. , Wang Diane R. 
Published: October 2023

Using hyperspectral technology for high-throughput plant phenotyping is
a potentially useful method in crop sciences. To examine its
effectiveness, we collected leaf-level hyperspectral and
ground-reference data from rice plants grown in controlled-environments
under drought and CO treatments at Ag Alumni Seed
Phenotyping Facility at Purdue University. By applying RReliefF, we
found that short-wave infrared region (SWIR) was important for leaf
water potential (LWP), near-infrared region was linked with specific
leaf area (SLA) and both red-edge and SWIR regions were related to gas
exchange traits (net assimilation [A], stomatal
conductance to water vapor [gsw] and transpiration
[E]). Based on those results, we found that LWP
and SLA were moderately predictable and gas exchange traits were
predictable (R ≥ 0.60 and root mean
squared error of prediction for A, gsw and
Ewere
7.706 μmolms,
0.282 molms, and 3.906
mmolms in validation datasets,
respectively) by using partial least squares regression. Furthermore,
treatment effect on A from cross-validation predictions
agreed with ground-reference data. In contrast, photosynthetic
parameters (V and J) could not be
estimated from hyperspectral data. Hyperspectral data can provide
potential insights about plant growth and water status. When the effect
of treatments is pronounced, model predictions are consistent with
ground-reference data.
“Hungarian Supremacy Cannot Be Debated”. Hungarian Conservative Sociologists on the Nationalities Question (1908–1918)
Authors: Harsányi Péter 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Magyar Társadalomtudományi Szemle (MTSZ), i.e. Hungarian Review of Social Sciences, was published between 1908 and 1918, and it was the highest-toned journal of contemporary Hungarian conservative sociology. At that time, in the last years of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, one of the most pressing social issues was the nationalities question: what rights belong to non-Hungarian-speaking nationalities living in the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary? This question was answered by two schools of tender-aged Hungarian social science. In general, liberal-left sociologists following Western scientific patterns believed that the language and cultural rights of national minorities need to be expanded. Conservatives, on the other hand, called for a restrictive policy to maintain the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Hungary. The analysis of the authors and writings in favour of the extension of rights has been completed (Litván 1978, 2006; Litván–Szücs 1973). Conservative sociologists who support the restriction, however, have so far received almost no attention in the history of sociology. In this writing, I would like to fill this gap. After the short institutional presentation of contemporary conservative sociology, I will focus on their central journal, MTSZ. I will analyse the articles in which the authors have taken a position on the nationalities question. I argue that the articles published in the MTSZ have primarily addressed the nationalities question as a political and demographic issue. Therefore, I will describe these two types of writing. (Beyond that, some articles focused on social theory, culture, or education when writing about the rights of non-Hungarian-speaking minorities.) My basic question is how those aspects of the nationalities question appeared in MTSZ and how those all create a specific political store of knowledge. If we get answers to this, not only will we shed light on one of the forgotten but exciting schools of early Central European social science, but perhaps the history of the first quarter of the 20th century will also be better understood.
The Peculiarity of Sociographic Knowledge in Hungary
Authors: Ale Éva 
Published: October 2023

AbstractHungarian sociography describes society and social problems in an easily understandable way. Sociographic writings do not neglect the political purpose, which creates a specific knowledge about the society within a limited public. Despite the heterogeneity of the genre, the central element of sociographic work is the critique of the dysfunctionality of the existing social system, urging social change. Sociography has not had the conditions to become a science. It remained an area on the border of politics – science – literature. All three at once; however, neither of them. The problem of the institutionalization of sociography means that its importance can be determined through the examination of its task.Burawoy’s theory on public sociology argues that the knowledge of society expressed in scientific language needs to be adapted to the common language. Based on the characteristics of Hungarian sociography, the main goal is to adapt Burawoy’s approach on public sociology to sociography. This article presents the peculiarities of Hungarian sociographic knowledge production and transmission during the 20thcentury and attempts to place sociography in Burawoy’s system.

Summary
Climate change scenarios predict more frequent and intense drought periods for 2071–2100 in the most important and intensively used agricultural region of Austria, the Marchfeld. Current and predicted lower precipitation scenarios were simulated at a lysimeter station for 9 years. Plant biomass, nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) content, and δ13C and δ15N values of plant compartments were monitored in years 7–9. Aboveground biomass of cereals and grain yield decreased under the predicted scenario, while the quality of grain (% N) was unaffected. Weed and catch crops grown in winter were not affected or were even positively affected, possibly due to the accumulation of nutrients in the soil following the lower plant uptake in summer. Accordingly, low plant δ15N values were mainly attributed to the presence of higher proportion of mineral fertilizer in the predicted precipitation scenario. As expected, water stress significantly increased δ13C values in plants grown over summer, while this was not seen for plants growing over winter. Fertile agricultural soil might ameliorate but cannot outbalance the negative impact of more frequent and intense drought periods.
