Published: October 2023

Abstract
The use of mudbricks in Early Iron Age ramparts is an uneven feature of defensive architecture on the Iberian Peninsula. The use of mudbricks as a building material has been linked to the arrival of Levantine building traditions with the Phoenicians, and its appearance among local societies varies between the eighth and sixth centuries BC according to the public or domestic nature of the structures. In this article, we present the geoarchaeological analyses of the mudbricks used in constructing one of the defensive towers or bastions at Villares de la Encarnación (Caravaca de la Cruz, Spain). This site, endowed with two complex fortification lines and towers, is one of the main settlements for understanding the development of the Early Iron Age among the inland and mountain communities of the region. The analytical program includes wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence, CHN elemental analysis, and thin-section petrography and provides new data about soil procurement and manufacturing choices. These results highlight the technical and social complexity behind mudbrick constructions and the adoption of new earthen practices among Early Iron Age communities in order to build more imposing and elevated towers that might convey an image of the power and strength of these inland settlements.

Abstract

Background
The high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)/receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) signaling pathway holds promise as a potential therapeutic target for ischemic brain injury. The effects of FPS-ZM1 and electroacupuncture (EA) on activation of the HMGB1/RAGE signaling pathway after cerebral ischemia remain uncertain.

Methods
Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was established. Neurological function was assessed using Longa scores. Nissl staining was used to observe the morphology of neurons. The expression levels of HMGB1 and RAGE were assayed with immunofluorescence staining and western blot.

Results
The results showed that EA and FPS-ZM1 could reduce the neural function score and neurons cell injury in cerebral ischemia rats by inhibiting the expression of HMGB1 and RAGE in primary motor cortex (M1) region. In addition, EA combined with FPS-ZM1 had a better therapeutic effect.

Conclusions
The HMGB1/RAGE pathway could be activated after cerebral ischemia. Both EA and FPS-ZM1 improved neurological deficits and attenuated neuronal damage in rats. They had synergistic effects. These interventions were observed to mitigate brain damage by suppressing the activation of HMGB1/RAGE.

AbstractDepression is a frequent and serious illness, and stress is considered the main risk factor for its onset. First-line antidepressants increase serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) levels in the brain. We previously reported that anN-acetyltransferase, Shati/Nat8l, is upregulated in the dorsal striatum (dSTR) of stress-susceptible mice exposed to repeated social defeat stress (RSDS) and that dSTR Shati/Nat8l overexpression in mice (dSTR-Shati OE) induces stress vulnerability and local reduction in 5-HT content. Male mice were used in this study, and we found that dSTR 5-HT content decreased in stress-susceptible but not in resilient mice. Moreover, vulnerability to stress in dSTR-Shati OE mice was suppressed by the activation of serotonergic neurons projecting from the dorsal raphe nucleus (dRN) to the dSTR, followed by upregulation of 5-HT content in the dSTR using designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADD). We evaluated the role of GABA in modulating the serotonergic system in the dRN. Stress-susceptible after RSDS and dSTR-Shati OE mice exhibited an increase in dRN GABA content. Furthermore, dRN GABA content was correlated with stress sensitivity. We found that the blockade of GABA signaling in the dRN suppressed stress susceptibility in dSTR-Shati OE mice. In conclusion, we propose that dSTR 5-HT and dRN GABA, controlled by striatal Shati/Nat8l via the dSTR-dRN neuronal circuitry, critically regulate stress sensitivity. Our study provides insights into the neural processes that underlie stress and suggests that dSTR Shati/Nat8l could be a novel therapeutic target for drugs against depression, allowing direct control of the dRN serotonergic system.

Published: October 2023

Fiscal transfer policies and road infrastructure are essential in reducing inequality in Indonesia. However, previous research examining the effect of fiscal transfer policies and road infrastructure still came up with inconclusive findings, thus making it necessary to conduct further research on rural, urban, and sub-national areas in Indonesia. This study examines the impact of fiscal transfer policies and road infrastructure on reducing income inequality in rural, urban, and sub-national areas. The authors utilized time-series data from 2012 to 2021 and 34 provinces. The fixed effect GLS model showed that Kuznets' hypothesis existed at rural, urban, and sub-national levels. The results also showed that the special allocations fund significantly reduced income inequality in rural, urban, and sub-national areas. However, road infrastructure was significant only in urban areas. The findings suggest that the special allocation fund policy can be expanded in scope and increased in number to accelerate the reduction in income inequality.JEL Classification: O15, L92, O18, O23

Published: October 2023

AbstractMalignant canine mammary tumours (CMTs) are subdivided as carcinomas (C), sarcomas (S) and carcinosarcomas (CS) according to their histological type. Due to the varying responses to different treatments, novel therapeutic approaches are required. Sodium butyrate (NaBu) is the first histone deacetylase inhibitor and exhibits anti-cancer activity in different types of human cancers. However, no study is available in the literature evaluating the effects of NaBu on CMT cells. Therefore, for the first time, we aimed to investigate the in vitro efficacy of NaBu on three subtypes of CMT cells. Primary cells were isolated from neoplastic tissues of three dogs with CMT. Cell viability, apoptotic percentage and changes in the cell morphology, apoptosis-associated gene and protein expression levels were evaluated. Our findings showed that NaBu decreased the growth of the cells and increased the percentage of apoptosis in three subtypes of CMT cells. Additionally, NaBu treatment affected the expression levels of genes and proteins associated with apoptosis, especially in S cells. Our preliminary results, for the first time, revealed the efficacy of NaBu in CMT cells and the importance of the histological subtype in NaBu response. However, the molecular classification of CMT and the underlying mechanisms of the different NaBu responses should be further investigated.

The development of facilities and infrastructure that is increasingly being carried out in urban areas and the rapid growth of population causes limited green open space. Green open space itself has many benefits if its existence is cared for and managed well. Green open spaces are also being intensely procured in cities, provinces and schools. It is known that if a green open space is provided at school it can be one of the learning resources that can optimize learning achievement. Because unwittingly green open space which contains a place to grow plants with a green color that can reduce boredom when students feel monotonous learning activities. So it is hoped that the opening of green open land in schools as a source of learning can increase student motivation and can improve student’s critical thinking processes about everyday phenomena.

Background: The Achilles tendon (AT) is the widest and most resistant of the osteoarticular system and has the greatest load-bearing capacity. It is involved in daily functioning and sports activities performance. Exposure to excessive stress on the calcaneus tendon (CT) can prevent an effective repair process and favor permanent injuries. Tendinopathy is a clinical syndrome resulting from disorientation of AT fibers, and inflammatory signs characteristic of tendinitis or tissue degeneration present in tendinosis can be found. The condition can manifest itself through functional changes accompanied by clinical signs such as crackling, tenderness, pain and edema. Infrared thermography is used to trace thermographic profiles, capable of detecting thermal changes related to pathologies. Objectives: The main goal of this study was to correlate AT region thermograms with clinical and functional characteristics in healthy individuals with CT pathology. Methods: The present work consists of a double-blind pilot randomized trial, of qualitative and quantitative nature. Individuals with TC tendinopathy, classified in the Tendinopathy Group (TG) and individuals without tendinopathy, classified in the Control Group (CG) participated. Assessments were performed to characterize the subjects belonging to the TG and CG: anamnesis, infrared thermography, referred pain, crepitation and thickness on palpation, algometry, arch sign test and Royal London Hospital test, pain on passive dorsiflexion, pain on lifting the heel and long jump. Results: The results obtained in infrared thermography were consistent with those obtained in the clinical evaluation for TG and GC. The results demonstrate that healthy tendons presented an average temperature difference of 0.24 ± 0.15 ºC between legs with a maximal difference of 0.4 ºC. On the other hand, unilateral tendinopathy presented an average temperature difference of 1.2 ± 0.9 ºC, however, this difference could be as big as 5.1 ºC. Conclusion: It is concluded that infrared thermography can be used safely and non-invasively to aid in the diagnosis of Achilles tendon tendinopathy.
A ironia romântica e a educação do olhar: uma reflexão sobre a obra de José Saramago
Authors: Carreira Shirley de Souza Gomes 
Published: October 2023

Este artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a ironia em obras de José Saramago, não apenas como estratégia retórica, mas principalmente como ironia romântica. Desde Memorial do Convento, Saramago teceu um elo entre as intrusões dos seus narradores e um projeto subliminar de educação do olhar que veio a se revelar explicitamente por meio da epígrafe de Ensaio sobre a cegueira. Ao usar ostensivamente o discurso irônico que David Muecke (1995) categoriza como instâncias de ironia situacional e ironia verbal, Saramago aponta para “valores éticos [que] nascem entranhados no valor estético” (GRAÇA apud JAMES, 1995, p.11); valores que continuam a interpelar o passado e o presente. Assim, o artigo propõe a análise do ethos irônico que se manifesta nos romances de Saramago como presentificação da mundividência do autor.
