Published: December 2023

In the course of attracting the public to the work of cultural institutions in the context of building a communist society in the Penza Region, libraries were created on a voluntary basis since 1961. Public libraries in the USSR were a form of Public participation in cultural and educational work, the popularization of books, and library management. The study of the formation of a network of libraries on a voluntary basis at the regional level allows you to recreate an objective picture of the daily life of the population within the indicated chronological framework; supplement historical knowledge of the content and forms of activity of the authorities and the public to improve the cultural and educational level of citizens.
The study of the practice of libraries on a voluntary basis in the early 1960s. in the Penza Region made it possible to identify the main trends and difficulties in the development of such a form of providing books to the Soviet population, to determine the vector of the subsequent study of the scientific problem.

Creating strategies of rare and endangered plants conservation requires studying the intraspecific genetic diversity of each particular species. Thus, efficient marker systems are necessary for implementing these objectives. In this study, the efficiency of 36 SCoT markers were evaluated for characterizing the intraspecific genetic diversity of Cyclamen сoum Mill., Helleborus caucasicus A. Brown, Galanthus woronowii Losinsk., Paeonia caucasica Schipcz. collected from different habitats of the Sochi National Park. Single markers, such as SCoT16 (58,2 %), SCoT6 (50,3 %), SCoT7 (49,6 %), SCoT8 (48,1 %), SCoT30 (42,8 %), SCoT29 (41,1 %), and SCoT20 (39,3 %) showed high levels of polymorphism, indicating good applicability of these markers to assess the intraspecific genetic diversity of the studied of the Western Caucasus flora species. In addition, the results of the study are important for the implementing conservation measures for these species and combating genetic erosion.

Penggunaan energi listrik di Indonesia setiap tahun semakin meningkat pertumbuhannya. Tindakan konservasi dan analisis terhadap penghematan energi di sisi konsumen perlu dilakukan guna mencegah pemborosan energi listrik. Gedung Rektorat Universitas Katolik Soegijapranata dipilih menjadi objek audit dan analisis penghematan karena sebelumnya belum pernah ada yang meneliti penghematan energi listrik. Audit energi dilakukan dengan metode IKE (Intensitas Konsumsi Energi) dan PES (Pengguna Energi Signifikan). IKE digunakan untuk menentukan efisiensi suatu gedung berdasarkan Permen ESDM No 13 tahun 2012 yang mempertimbangkan data tagihan listrik. Sedangkan PES digunakan untuk menentukan distribusi konsumsi daya di seluruh yang terpasang di lapangan sehingga PHE (Peluang Hemat Energi (PHE) dapat dihitung. Hasil perhitungan IKE, Gedung Rektorat Universitas Katolik Soegijapranata Semarang masuk ke dalam kategori Efisien, dengan nilai IKE ber-AC dan non-AC berturut-turut di tahun 2022 sebesar 12,4 dan 2,7 sehingga bisa ditingkatkan menjadi Sangat Efisien. Langkah penghematan dilakukan dengan menggunakan kategori No/Low Cost dengan penghematan sebesar Rp48.239.226/tahun, kategori Medium Cost sebesar Rp3.486.240/tahun, dan kategori High Cost sebesar Rp17.280.000/tahun. Penghematan tersebut meliputi setting temparatur AC, pengurangan jam operasional, pergantian lampu ke jenis LED, dan pergantian PC konvensional ke AiO PC. Serta dilakukan analisis dan simulasi terhadap sistem pencahayaan di Gedung Rektorat Universitas Katolik Soegijapranata yang bertujuan agar seluruh ruangan mencapai lux yang sesuai dengan SNI 6197-2020. Hasil penghematan ini akan digunakan sebagai laporan rekomendasi penghematan energi listrik untuk pengelolaan energi yang lebih baik supaya mampu menekan biaya tagihan listrik.

Morphology, molecular phylogeny and toxicity of Fukuyoa paulensis (Dinophyceae) from the Bay of Bengal, North Indian Ocean
Authors: Oyeku Oyeshina G. , Mandal Subir K. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Fukuyoa species are potential producers of polyether neurotoxins that are toxic to aquatic biota and humans. A strain of Fukuyoa (CSIRCSMCRI 004) was isolated from India’s Bay of Bengal coast. The clonal culture was identified using light and scanning electron microscopy and molecular phylogenetic analysis of the LSU rRNA gene and ITS (ITS1-5.8S gene-ITS2) sequences. Its toxicity was assessed using a 48 h Artemia bioassay. The morphological features observed included globular shape, descending cingular displacement, broad pentagonal 1′ plate, and large second apical plate (2′). The identity of the strain was confirmed to be F. paulensis based on the LSU rRNA gene and ITS sequences phylogenies. Strain CSIRCSMCRI 004 shared an identical sequence with the type strain of F. paulensis and other strains reported from different locations, based on the LSU rRNA gene and ITS sequences phylogenies. Exposure of brine shrimp larvae to its cellular lysate resulted in lethality (48 h LC50 = 0.256 mg ml−1) and behavioral abnormalities. The current study provides the first evidence of F. paulensis in the Bay of Bengal. It also reveals that CSIRCSMCRI 004 is toxic to susceptible biota like the brine shrimp and could produce ciguatera-associated toxins. The findings of this study highlight the need for sampling and screening of ciguatera-related species in the Bay of Bengal region to understand the associated public and environmental health risks.
TidyGEO: preparing analysis-ready datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus
Authors: Mecham Avery , Stephenson Ashlie , Quinteros Badi I. , Brown Grace S. , Piccolo Stephen R. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
TidyGEO is a Web-based tool for downloading, tidying, and reformatting data series from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). As a freely accessible repository with data from over 6 million biological samples across more than 4000 organisms, GEO provides diverse opportunities for secondary research. Although scientists may find assay data relevant to a given research question, most analyses require sample-level annotations. In GEO, such annotations are stored alongside assay data in delimited, text-based files. However, the structure and semantics of the annotations vary widely from one series to another, and many annotations are not useful for analysis purposes. Thus, every GEO series must be tidied before it is analyzed. Manual approaches may be used, but these are error prone and take time away from other research tasks. Custom computer scripts can be written, but many scientists lack the computational expertise to create such scripts. To address these challenges, we created TidyGEO, which supports essential data-cleaning tasks for sample-level annotations, such as selecting informative columns, renaming columns, splitting or merging columns, standardizing data values, and filtering samples. Additionally, users can integrate annotations with assay data, restructure assay data, and generate code that enables others to reproduce these steps.

Authors: Liu Ziqin , Song Qinwei 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Objectives
The GnRH stimulation test has been used as the gold standard for the diagnosis of central precocious puberty (CPP), but it has some practical barriers. This study intends to build a diagnostic model of CPP in girls based on the population in northern China.

Methods
A total of 163 girls with precocious puberty (PP) were included from December 2018 to December 2019. Multifactor logistic regression analysis was conducted. Based on the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis, a nomogram was established for clinical application.

Results
A multi logistic regression model showed that LH (OR=1.238, 95 % CI: 1.067–1.436, p=0.005), inhibin B (OR=1.066, 95 % CI: 1.032–1.100, p<0.001), bone age (OR=1.563, 95 % CI: 1.037–2.358, p=0.033), and uterine length (OR=1.180, 95 % CI: 1.034–1.348, p=0.014) were diagnostic factors for CPP. The prediction model AUC was 0.906 (95 % CI: 0.852–0.959, p<0.001).

Conclusions
We successfully developed a nomogram model for CPP patients based on clinical data. The diagnostic prediction model included four indicators: basal LH, inhibin B, bone age, and uterine body length.
Liquid biopsies and those three little words: finding the perfect match for the MTB
Authors: Wahida Adam , Buschhorn Lars 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Monitoring ctDNA by liquid biopsies seems to represent the perfect match for precision oncology and its cornerstone clinical framework: the molecular tumour board (MTB). Detecting and scrutinising the success of targeted therapies or tracking and, for that matter, addressing the therapy with the evolutive nature of a tumour are some of the main advancements one considers to be important for the MTB. One challenge is correlating the estimated allele frequency of each identified genetic alteration determined by analysing the ctDNA sequencing results and matching these with the range of suitable drugs, which may limit the simultaneous treatment of all tumour variations. This limitation arises because a new biopsy would typically be required to evaluate the response to treatment. As a result, evaluating the success of MTB recommendations relies on traditional staging methods, highlighting an existing diagnostic gap. Thus, optimising liquid biopsy technology could enhance the efficacy of MTB treatment recommendations and ensuing tailored therapies. Herein, we discuss the prospect of ctDNA analyses in the molecular tumour board.
Zur Wahrnehmung des generischen Maskulinums in Erstgliedern von Komposita und maskuliner Epizöna
Authors: Bross Fabian , Kurz Lea-Sophie 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Most German nouns that can be used to refer to people or groups of people have a masculine (e.g., Lehrer ‘male teacher’) and a derived feminine (e.g., Lehrerin ‘female teacher’) form. The grammatically masculine nouns are typically viewed as being ambiguous between a reading which can only be used to refer to men and a reading which can be used to refer to mixed-gender groups (the so-called “generic masculine“). The main question of the present article is whether this generalization also holds for the first elements of nominal compounds (e.g., Lehrer- in Lehrerzimmer ‘teachers’ room’) and for inherently masculine nouns from which no feminine form can be derived (e.g., Gast which is inherently masculine). The empirical data discussed suggest that generic masculine forms used as the first elements of N-N compounds as well as inherently masculine nouns are interpreted rather generically, i.e., not as referring to male individuals only.

particles is formulated in momentum space based on basis states being not expanded in partial waves. No sequential calculations with increasing angular momentum are performed to reach physical convergence, which depends on the scattering energy and the interaction range. Both nonrelativistic and relativistic cases are described. We put forward for consideration the utilization of this approach. By taking some simple interaction models we show some advantages in calculations representing those of high energy scattering as well as those of scattering governed by long range interactions.

The estimated particle diameter size range for crystallites is 10–16 nm. In addition, the obtained Ag/ZrO2 nanocomposites were analyzed the biocidal activity of two separate bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and two separate fungal Aspergillus niger (A. niger), Candida albecans, pure AgO, ZrO2 and Ag doped ZrO2 nanocomposites were also examined. This Ag doped ZrO2 (10 %) nanocomposites have a larger zone of inhibition than other human diseases, according to the results of the biocidal activity.
Stress and Anxiety in Neurosurgical Patients before Surgery
Authors: Ponczek Danuta , Piątkowska Aleksandra 
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Stress is an inevitable part of everyone’s life. It is the body’s response to unfamiliar and unpredictable situations that people often have to face. Hospitalisation and surgery are among the factors that contribute to stress and anxiety.
Aim. The aim of this study was to assess the severity of stress, anxiety and depression in neurosurgical patients before surgery and the factors affecting them.
Material and Methods. The study included 100 patients residing in the Department of Neurosurgery of the 10th Military Research Hospital with Polyclinic IP HCC in Bydgoszcz, who were qualified for surgery. The study was conducted using the author’s questionnaire, the PSS-10 scale, the anxiety and depression subscales of the HADS-M questionnaire.
Results. In the study group, the mean stress score was 6.07±1.31 points, anxiety 9.73±2.84 points and depression 4.76±3.15 points. An increase in stress levels resulted in an increase in anxiety and depression levels (p<0.001). Talking to hospital ward staff about the planned surgery reduced depression levels (p=0.045), but had no effect on levels of perceived stress and anxiety. Anxiety and depressive disorders increased with the age of the subjects.
Conclusions. Preoperative assessment of stress, anxiety and depression can help to identify patients with high levels of these disorders and take appropriate measures to reduce them. (JNNN 2023;12(2):55–62)

Authors: Yildiz Esra , Bingöl Nuray 
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Many people believe that there is something predetermined in their life. Fatalism affects people’s adaptation to their diseases in epilepsy as well as in every disease.
Aim. The study was conducted methodologically to determine the fatalism towards epilepsy disease.
Material and Methods. “Information Form” and “Epilepsy Fatalism Scale” were used as data collection tools. With the literature review, a pool was created from the items of the previously developed fatalism scales. After removing the items with low factor load as a result of confirmatory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis was performed again.
The data of the research were collected through social media. Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett test, Principal Component Analysis, and Varimax Rotation were used for exploratory factor analysis in the evaluation of the data. For construct validity, confirmatory factor analysis was performed within the scope of explanatory and structural equation modeling χ², χ²/SD, RMSEA, CFI, IFI compatibility tests were used for Confirmatory Factor analysis.
Results. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the entire scale was found to be 0.768. It was determined with the results of the fit index analysis χ²/SD: 3.736, GFI, 0.922, AGFI 0.909, CFI 0.904, TLI 0.914, RMSEA: 0.062, RMR: 0.041 that the validity of the scale was ensured.
Conclusions. The scale consisted of 10 items and three dimensions. The scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool in evaluating epilepsy fatalism. (JNNN 2023;12(2):63–68)
Assessment of the Myasthenia Gravis Patients’ Quality of Life
Authors: Jung-Plath Weronika , Skrzypek-Czerko Marcelina , Bilińska Małgorzata , Zdun-Ryżewska Agata 
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Myasthenia gravis is an immune-mediated disease associated with a disorder of the neuromuscular junction. MG belongs to the group of chronic diseases with variable clinical courses. Patients struggling with this disease must remain under the constant care of a neurologist and take medications regularly. Talking about myasthenia gravis, we can divide it into two forms: ocular and generalized. In patients with the generalized form, a lower level of quality of life can be observed. As patients age, their quality of life increases. This may be due to the fact that younger people, leading a more active life, find it more difficult to accept disabilities resulting from the disease.
Aim. The aim of the study is to present the specificity of the functioning of patients with myasthenia gravis.
Material and Methods. To write the above work, an analysis of the literature and a diagnostic survey were used, an original questionnaire consisting of three parts and six ready-made scales was used.
Results. The study showed that the quality of life of patients with myasthenia gravis is reduced. A lower level of quality of life can be observed among women, younger people and those suffering from the general form of this disease. Myasthenia gravis negatively affects the daily functioning of patients. The negative impact of physical, mental and general fatigue as well as the degree of everyday life difficulties due to fatigue on the quality of life of patients with MG was also demonstrated. In the case of myasthenia gravis, however, we must distinguish between fatigue and muscle fatigue.
Conclusions. Myasthenia gravis and the problems faced by people with this disease is a topic rarely discussed in scientific works. The quality of life of this group of patients is significantly reduced, which contributes to the occurrence of anxiety and depression among this group of patients. The biggest problem among MG patients is fatigue, which has a significant impact on their quality of life. More attention should be paid to the problem of quality of life and more research related to this topic should be carried out in the future. (JNNN 2023;12(2):74–83)

En este artículo se analiza el rol de la dirigencia política argentina en la adopción de las reformas neoliberales en los inicios de la década de los noventa. En especial, estudia una etapa de transición (1987-1991) hacia un consenso entre los dos partidos mayoritarios del sistema político respecto de la adopción de las reformas neoliberales, que profundizaron una inserción internacional dependiente. Se analizarán las posiciones de la Unión Cívica Radical y del Partido Justicialista respecto de tres dimensiones de la política exterior y de la política económica doméstica en dicho período, y las condiciones de gestación de dicho consenso.
Derechos Humanos y Empresas: un enfoque radical
Authors: CAMPOS SERRANO Alicia 
Published: December 2023

En los últimos años se han multiplicado las denuncias de empresas transnacionales por violar derechos humanos en los lugares donde tienen sus actividades productivas o comerciales. Y también han proliferado los códigos de conducta corporativos que incluyen referencias a estos derechos, así como documentos e iniciativas internacionales de distinto carácter relacionando derechos y procesos económicos. Este artículo recorre la historia de la creciente utilización de los derechos humanos, en conjunto o en conflicto con otros lenguajes, en el marco más amplio de los debates en torno a la regulación de las empresas transnacionales y de la economía mundial. Además, ensaya una reflexión sobre las implicaciones de este proceso para principios fundamentales de las actuales relaciones internacionales, como la soberanía y la libertad de mercado, y sobre el potencial de transformación social de los derechos humanos.
Mitologías australianas contemporáneas: comunidad, seguridad, alteridad, territorialidad
Authors: ARGOUNÈS Fabrice 
Published: December 2023

En la primera década del siglo XXI, los diferentes libros blancos de la defensa de Australia reflejan la evolución de la relación de fuerzas en la región asiática y del Pacífico, y notablemente el impulso de China como actor principal. Entre el final de los años noventa y el final de la década del 2000, las acciones australianas se inscriben en las prioridades marcadas por una definición de la seguridad que reposa en gran parte en una verdadera “mitología” de la identidad australiana y de la protección frente a la alteridad regional. La “seguridad ontológica” se convierte en un elemento de referencia de la relación de Australia con su vecindad asiática y del Pacífico, en nombre de la necesaria protección del espacio nacional australiano. Las acciones australianas, como “gendarme” del Pacífico, como aliado de referencia en la lucha contra el terrorismo o al buscar la cooperación regional en la gestión de los refugiados, están guiadas por imperativos identitarios, construidos a partir de la alianza americana o de una supuesta responsabilidad particular en la región, tanto como por la voluntad de mantener una distancia con los riesgos supuestos de la vecindad. Este artículo busca remarcar esta evolución contemporánea, ligada a los acontecimientos internacionales y a la experiencia de otras acciones occidentales; y a poner en marcha un instrumento de análisis de la seguridad a partir de la identidad australiana y de las percepciones de los dirigentes sobre su entorno. Desde las evoluciones de la teoría de Relaciones Internacionales sobre la seguridad y de los estudios sobre la identidad y la relación entre el mismo y el otro, buscamos presentar las prioridades australianas en la región como consecuencia de las “racionalidades alternativas” llevadas por los dirigentes.
Repensar y rehacer la realidad contemporánea tras la expansión filosófica de las Relaciones Internacionales
Authors: JATOBÁ Daniel 
Published: December 2023

Las Relaciones Internacionales (RRII) como área del conocimiento social han sostenido una relación contradictoria con las ciencias sociales afines que ha creado una tensión entre la identidad del campo y su reivindicación de abertura a los influjos de otras disciplinas. Esto ha promovido una serie de cambios interesantes en las discusiones teóricas de las RRII. En las últimas décadas se ha elevado el nivel de abstracción de la elaboración teórica y ha ocurrido lo que se denomina aquí una “expansión filosófica de las RRII”, en el sentido de que se hicieron presentes las discusiones sobre las bases epistemológicas, ontológicas y axiológicas de las teorías vehiculadas en la disciplina. En el presente trabajo se intenta dar cuenta de estos movimientos a través del debate positivismo-pospositivismo y sus límites, las bases epistemológicas de la disciplina y sus dimensiones prácticas.
