Problems and Countermeasures to Solve Them in the System of Dance Education in Colleges and Universities in China
Authors: Go Chzhizho 
Published: January 2024

The Chinese nation has a unique tradition of choreographic culture, characteristic of the Indochinese region. Consequently, dance is an obligatory phenomenon of culture, in which the aesthetics of the body, emotions and the nature of social relations of the Chinese are harmoniously correlated. It retains its popularity among students of colleges and universities, as it contributes to their comprehensive development. Therefore, dance education in colleges and universities is of great importance for every student and deserves constant development. By the beginning of the 21st century, the Chinese believe that dance education in the country's universities is still in its infancy, and there are many opportunities.
Dance education in universities in China strives to meet international and global standards. And despite this, in China there are many methods and practices for teaching dance art. But there are also many problems, such as focusing on skills, ignoring theory, indoctrinating teaching, and neglecting differences in individual abilities of students and focusing on their harmonious and all-round development.
The traditional technologies of learning and teaching that were present in the 20th century are now perceived as limiting the development of learners and students. Therefore, at the beginning of the 21st century, China began to improve the overall quality of dance teaching, and teachers were asked to reform the classroom and/or classroom regimen to facilitate them and focus on increasing the educational role of dance practices in society.
Socioeconomic per-case costs of stroke, myocardial infarction, and preterm birth attributable to air pollution in Sweden
Authors: Kriit Hedi Katre , Sommar Johan Nilsson , Åström Stefan 
Published: January 2024

Background
Incident cases of stroke, myocardial infarction, and preterm birth have established exposure-response functions associated with air pollution. However, there are no studies reporting detailed costs per case for these health outcomes that are adapted to the cost-benefit tools that guide the regulation of air pollution.

Objectives
The primary objective was to establish non-fatal per-case monetary estimates for stroke, myocardial infarction, and preterm birth attributable to air pollution in Sweden, and the secondary objective was to ease the economic evaluation process of air pollution morbidity effects and their inclusion in cost-benefit assessments.

Methods
Based on recommendations from the literature, the case-cost analysis considered direct and indirect medical costs, as well as production losses and informal costs relevant for the calculation of the net present value. A literature search was conducted to estimate the costs of each category for each incident case in Sweden. Informal costs were estimated using the quality-adjusted life-years approach and the corresponding willingness-to-pay in the Swedish population. The total average per-case cost was estimated based on specific health outcome durations and severity and was discounted by 3.5% per year. Sensitivity analysis included varying discount rates, severity of health outcome, and the range of societal willingness to pay for quality-adjusted life years.

Results
The average net present value cost estimate was €2016 460k (185k–1M) for non-fatal stroke, €2016 24k (16k–38k) for myocardial infarction, and €2016 34k (19k–57k) for late preterm birth. The main drivers of the per-case total cost estimates were health outcome severity and societal willingness to pay for risk reduction. Varying the discount rate had the largest effect on preterm birth, with costs changing by ±30% for the discount rates analysed.

Recommendation
Because stroke, myocardial infarction, and preterm birth have established exposure-response functions linking these to air pollution, cost-benefit analyses should include the costs for these health outcomes in order to adequately guide future air pollution and climate change policies.
Utilizing machine learning for survival analysis to identify risk factors for COVID-19 intensive care unit admission: A retrospective cohort study from the United Arab Emirates
Authors: AlShehhi Aamna , Almansoori Taleb M. , Alsuwaidi Ahmed R. , Alblooshi Hiba 
Published: January 2024

Background
The current situation of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an innovative tool for addressing the evolving clinical challenges. An example is utilizing Machine Learning (ML) models—a subfield of AI that take advantage of observational data/Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to support clinical decision-making for COVID-19 cases. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and risk factors for COVID-19 patients in the United Arab Emirates utilizing EHRs and ML for survival analysis models.

Methods
We tested various ML models for survival analysis in this work we trained those models using a different subset of features extracted by several feature selection methods. Finally, the best model was evaluated and interpreted using goodness-of-fit based on calibration curves,Partial Dependence Plots and concordance index.

Results
The risk of severe disease increases with elevated levels of C-reactive protein, ferritin, lactate dehydrogenase, Modified Early Warning Score, respiratory rate and troponin. The risk also increases with hypokalemia, oxygen desaturation and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate and hypocalcemia and lymphopenia.

Conclusion
Analyzing clinical data using AI models can provide vital information for clinician to measure the risk of morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 patients. Further validation is crucial to implement the model in real clinical settings.
Ameliorating the impairment of glucose utilization in a high-fat diet-induced obesity model through the consumption of Tucum-do-Cerrado (Bactris Setosa Mart.)
Authors: Araújo Ananda de Mesquita , Arruda Sandra Fernandes 
Published: January 2024

Introduction
We evaluated the effect of Tucum-do-Cerrado on glucose metabolism homeostasis and its relationship with redox-inflammatory responses in a high-fat (HF) diet-induced obesity model.

Results
The HF diet increased energy intake, feed efficiency, body weight, muscle and hepatic glycogen, insulin, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA IR) and beta (β)-cell function, and gut catalase (CAT) activity, and decreased food intake, hepatic glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities, hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (Pck1), and intestinal solute carrier family 5 member 1 (Slc5a1) mRNA levels compared with the control diet. However, the HF diet with Tucum-do-Cerrado decreased hepatic glycogen, and increased hepatic GR activity, hepatic Slc2a2 mRNA levels and serum Tnfa compared with the HF diet. Tucum-do-Cerrado decreased muscle glycogen, intestinal CAT and GPX activities, muscle PFK-1 and HK activities, and increased hepatic protein (CARB) and intestinal lipid (MDA) oxidation, hepatic GST activity, serum antioxidant potential, hepatic phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1) activity, intestinal solute carrier family 2 member 2 (Slc2a2), tumor necrosis factor (Tnf), interleukin-1 beta (Il1b), muscle protein kinase AMP-activated alpha 1 (Prkaa1), solute carrier family 2 member 2 (Slc2a2) mRNA levels, and serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, regardless of diet type.

Conclusion
Tucum-do-Cerrado consumption may ameliorate impaired glucose utilization in a HF diet-induced obesity model by increasing liver and muscle glucose uptake and oxidation. These data suggest that Tucum-do-Cerrado consumption improves muscle glucose oxidation in non-obese and obese rats. This response may be related to the improvement in the total antioxidant capacity of rats.

Authors: June Angelina , Matysik Weronika , Marlicz Maria , Zucker Emily , Wagley Pravin K. , Kuan Chia-Yi , Burnsed Jennifer 
Published: January 2024

Objective
To examine acute seizure activity and neuronal damage in a neonatal mouse model of inflammation-sensitized hypoxic-ischemic (IS-HI) brain injury utilizing continuous electroencephalography (cEEG) and neurohistology.

Methods
Neonatal mice were exposed to either IS-HI with Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or HI alone on postnatal (p) day 10 using unilateral carotid artery ligation followed by global hypoxia (n = 10 [5 female, 5 male] for IS-HI, n = 12 [5 female, 7 male] for HI alone). Video cEEG was recorded for the duration of the experiment and analyzed for acute seizure activity and behavior. Brain tissue was stained and scored based on the degree of neuronal injury in the hippocampus, cortex, and thalamus.

Results
There was no significant difference in acute seizure activity among mice exposed to IS-HI compared to HI with regards to seizure duration (mean = 63 ± 6 seconds for HI vs mean 62 ± 5 seconds for IS-HI, p = 0.57) nor EEG background activity. Mice exposed to IS-HI had significantly more severe neural tissue damage at p30 as measured by neuropathologic scores (mean = 8 ± 1 vs 23 ± 3, p < 0.0001).

Interpretation
In a neonatal mouse model of IS-HI, there was no significant difference in acute seizure activity among mice exposed to IS-HI compared to HI. Mice exposed to IS-HI did show more severe neuropathologic damage at a later age, which may indicate the presence of chronic inflammatory mechanisms of brain injury distinct from acute seizure activity.

Published: January 2024

Background
This study aimed to examine whether post-stroke early body temperature is associated with neurological damage in the acute phase and functional outcomes at three months.

Methods
We included 7,177 patients with acute ischemic stroke within 24 h of onset. Axillary temperature was measured daily in the morning for seven days. Mean body temperature was grouped into five quintiles (Q1: 35.1‒36.5°C, Q2: 36.5‒36.7°C, Q3: 36.7‒36.8°C, Q4: 36.8‒37.1°C, and Q5: 37.1‒39.1°C). Clinical outcomes included neurological improvement during hospitalization and poor functional outcome (modified Rankin scale score, 3–6) at three months. A logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between body temperature and clinical outcomes.

Results
The patient’s mean (SD) age was 70.6 (12.3) years, and 35.7% of patients were women. Mean body temperature was significantly associated with less neurological improvement from Q2 (odds ratios [95% confidence interval], 0.77 [0.65–0.99] vs. Q1) to Q5 (0.33 [0.28–0.40], P for trend <0.001) even after adjusting for potential confounders, including baseline neurological severity, C-reactive protein levels, and post-stroke acute infections. The multivariable-adjusted risk of poor functional outcome linearly increased from Q2 (1.36 [1.03–1.79]) to Q5 (6.44 [5.19–8.96], P for trend <0.001). These associations were maintained even in the analyses excluding patients with acute infectious diseases. Multivariable-adjusted risk of poor functional outcome was higher in patients with early body temperature elevation on days 1–3 and with longer duration with body temperature >37.0°C.

Conclusions
Post-stroke early high body temperature is independently associated with unfavorable outcomes following acute ischemic stroke.
JAVANESE ISLAM AND GLOBALIZATION: A STUDY ON THE SUSTAINABILITY THE ABOGE ISLAM COMMUNITY IN INDONESIA
Authors: Sofyan M Ali , Wahyuni Tri , Arifin Win Listyaningrum 
Published: January 2024

The indigenous religion of Java has a longer historical existence compared to the currently recognized state religions. Similarly, Javanese Islam has evolved through religious syncretism with Javanese culture. Javanese Islam has served as a means to reconcile the two opposing poles of this entity, as well as a way to attract followers. Aboge Islam in Purbalingga, Central Java is one form of Javanese Islam. The existence of Aboge Islam is facing increasing threats, particularly in the era of globalization. This article will provide an overview of the current reality, obstacles, and threats faced by the Aboge Islamic community, and discuss their future. This research is conducted using the qualitative ethnographic method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with members of the Aboge Muslim community, as well as observations and document studies. The findings revealed that the Aboge Muslim community has undertaken various adaptation processes as a survival strategy to maintain its existence amidst the challenges posed by globalization. This form of adaptation is the inheritance of community values by passing down their traditional values to the younger generation, which includes 'ngormati leluhur' (the practices of ancestor worship), "melu gawe" (a Javanese term for working together), and "Turki" (Tuturan Kaki, oral transmission of knowledge and advice from parents or elders). Through this process, they hope their community will survive in the future.Religi lokal di Jawa memiliki usia lebih tua dari agama yang sekarang diakui oleh negara. Begitu juga Islam Jawa yang merupakan hasil sinkretisme religi dengan kultur Jawa. Islam Jawa menjadi jalan untuk mendamaikan dua kutub ekstrim entitas ini, sekaligus sebagai ‘jalan’ untuk mendapatkan pengikut. Islam Aboge di Purbalingga Jawa Tengah merupakan salah satu bentuk dari Islam Jawa tersebut. Keberadaan Islam Aboge semakin hari kian terancam terutama di era globalisasi. Tulisan ini akan menguraikan keberadaan komunitas Islam Aboge di masa depan, dengan melihat realitas, hambatan dan ancaman yang terjadi sekarang. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif etnografi. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap pemeluk Islam Aboge, observasi, dan studi dokumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa untuk menjaga eksistensi komunitasnya di tengah pusaran globalisasi, mereka telah melakukan sejumlah proses adaptasi sebagai pilihan untuk bertahan. Bentuk adaptasi tersebut adalah pewarisan nilai-nilai komunitas melalui pengajaran kepada anak-anak mereka, seperti ngormati leluhur, melu gawe, dan Turki (Tuturan Kaki, nasehat orangtua). Melalui proses ini mereka berharap komunitas mereka akan tetap bertahan di masa depan.

Effective quasistatic evolution models for perfectly plastic plates with periodic microstructure: The limiting regimes
Authors: Bužančić Marin , Davoli Elisa , Velčić Igor 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
We identify effective models for thin, linearly elastic and perfectly plastic plates exhibiting a microstructure resulting from the periodic alternation of two elastoplastic phases. We study here both the case in which the thickness of the plate converges to zero on a much faster scale than the periodicity parameter and the opposite scenario in which homogenization occurs on a much finer scale than dimension reduction. After performing a static analysis of the problem, we show convergence of the corresponding quasistatic evolutions. The methodology relies on two-scale convergence and periodic unfolding, combined with suitable measure-disintegration results and evolutionary Γ-convergence.

Abstract
Melanin is an almost ubiquitous pigment of brown to dark black color synthesized by living organisms. It has excellent potential for application in several fields, especially in pharmaceuticals. Yeasts are known for their ability to synthesize pigments, including melanin. These yeasts are considered black yeasts. However, there is little information on the synthesis of melanin by these yeasts. This work was designed to study the ability of black yeast to produce a diffusible dark pigment on agar. Two strains of black yeast, SN1 and SN2, were isolated from hydrocarbon-polluted soils. Based on morphological, physiological, and molecular analyses, the two strains SN1 and SN2 were identified as new species of the Exophiala phaeomuriformis strain. After pigment extraction, melanin was characterized using UV and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. We found that melanin synthesis is strongly affected by light and optimal parameters such as temperature 30°C, salinity between 10 and 30 ppt, and basic pH. Both melanin extracts also showed inhibitory activity against pathogenic germs, and activities were observed on E. coli (33.33 ± 2.88 mm), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (29.33 ± 4.61 mm), and Staphylococcus aureus (24.3 ± 7.65 mm). It was concluded that the melanin of the E. phaeomuriformis strain isolated from oil-polluted soils had high antibacterial activity. This high antibacterial activity could be a suitable source of new antibacterial natural products.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass extracted from plants that contain rich amounts of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin content can replace synthetic fibers in many engineering applications and is biodegradable. However, e-waste is rapidly evolving into one of the most serious environmental issues in the world owing to the presence of several toxic compounds that can contaminate the environment and pose a threat to human health. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are one of the major components available in e-waste. In this research work, waste PCB (WPCB) powder is mixed in suitable proportions of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% with a lignocellulosic sisal woven fabric fiber mat, and blended with epoxy resin using the vacuum-assisted hand lay-up method. To determine the effect of particle size on the fabricated composites, mechanical, thermal, water absorption, surface roughness, and wear tests were conducted. It was found that the composition that contains 15% nanofiller composites gave better results in mechanical testing than the composition that contains 10% microfiller composites. Pin-on disc wear test and differential scanning calorimetric thermal test results show that 10% microfiller composites show better outcome results than 15% nanofiller composites. Testing values indicate that lignocellulosic sisal fiber composites with WPCB nano- and microfillers can be substituted for many engineering applications instead of being disposed of in landfills.
Weak base drug-induced endolysosome iron dyshomeostasis controls the generation of reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial depolarization, and cytotoxicity

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Approximately 75 % of marketed drugs have the physicochemical property of being weak bases. Weak-base drugs with relatively high pKa values enter acidic organelles including endosomes and lysosomes (endolysosomes), reside in and de-acidify endolysosomes, and induce cytotoxicity. Divalent cations within endolysosomes, including iron, are released upon endolysosome de-acidification. Endolysosomes are “master regulators of iron homeostasis”, and neurodegeneration is linked to ferrous iron (Fe2+)-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation via Fenton chemistry. Because endolysosome de-acidification-induced lysosome-stress responses release endolysosome Fe2+, it was crucial to determine the mechanisms by which a functionally and structurally diverse group of weak base drugs including atropine, azithromycin, fluoxetine, metoprolol, and tamoxifen influence endolysosomes and cause cell death.

Methods
Using U87MG astrocytoma and SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, we conducted concentration-response relationships for 5 weak-base drugs to determine EC50 values. From these curves, we chose pharmacologically and therapeutically relevant concentrations to determine if weak-base drugs induced lysosome-stress responses by de-acidifying endolysosomes, releasing endolysosome Fe2+ in sufficient levels to increase cytosolic and mitochondria Fe2+ and ROS levels and cell death.

Results
Atropine (anticholinergic), azithromycin (antibiotic), fluoxetine (antidepressant), metoprolol (beta-adrenergic), and tamoxifen (anti-estrogen) at pharmacologically and therapeutically relevant concentrations (1) de-acidified endolysosomes, (2) decreased Fe2+ levels in endolysosomes, (3) increased Fe2+ and ROS levels in cytosol and mitochondria, (4) induced mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization, and (5) increased cell death; effects prevented by the endocytosed iron-chelator deferoxamine.

Conclusions
Weak-base pharmaceuticals induce lysosome-stress responses that may affect their safety profiles; a better understanding of weak-base drugs on Fe2+ interorganellar signaling may improve pharmacotherapeutics.
CaO-enhanced polyester for safety: experimental study on fabrication, characterization, and gamma-ray attenuation
Authors: Marashdeh Mohammad W. , Mahmoud Karem A. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The current work deals with studying the influence of cheap, widespread CaO on improving the γ ray-protection capacity of the lightweight, sealing polyester. Therefore, polyester composites were filled with different concentrations of CaO fillers. The fabricated CaO-reinforced polyester composites’ density ranged between 1.177 g/cm3 and 1.377 g/cm3, when CaO filler concentrations increased between 0 wt% and 60 wt%, respectively. Fabricated composites’ morphology and chemical composition, as well as CaO fillers’ grain size and distribution, were proved using SEM and EDX spectroscopy. Additionally, the influence of CaO fillers on the gamma-ray shielding properties of the fabricated composites was evaluated using the Monte Carlo simulation and confirmed using the experimental measurements. The recorded results show an enhancement in the synthesized composites’ linear attenuation coefficient from 0.091 cm−1 to 0.106 cm−1 at a gamma ray energy of 0.662 MeV. Moreover, the excess in CaO concentration from 0 wt% and 60 wt% reduces the fabricated composites’ half-value thickness values from 7.64 cm to 6.51 cm, respectively.
