Cultural unit white – prototype terms
Authors: Almalech Mony 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe article focuses on the Hebrew prototypes terms (PTs) of white in the Old Testament – light, milk, and snow. The aim is to explore the worldview of Hebrew to reveal the original messages of the Bible. The translation is an essential tool that shows which translation elements (the word and its root derivatives) are symmetrical, asymmetric, and dissymmetric to Hebrew due to the different worldviews of languages. The method is interdisciplinary and includes several theories and approaches. Original is Almalech’s methodology for tracking all verbal options to signify color: Basic color term (BCT), prototype term (PT), rival terms to prototype (RT), and terms for the basic feature of the prototype (TBFP). Semiotic osmosis is also an original element of Almalech’s methodology and has a place in the study of colors in the Bible. The phenomenon is observed when Hebrew PT is translated with the BCT, Hebrew TBFP is translated with BCT in the Indo-European language, e.g.,darknessis translated withblack,freshis translated withgreen. In the case of light, semiotic osmosis is when a quality of light is perceived as synonymous with light, e.g., brilliance is synonymous with light in Hebrew, English, Bulgarian, and other languages. The importance of light in religious systems, regional culture, and natural features are taken into account. Almalech’s semiotic approach to color, i.e., treating them as a sign communication system, involves the insisting that a distinction must be made between verbal and visual color because of their different potential to have primary and secondary (figurative and cultural) meanings. The substance of the language sign (sound is a mechanical wave) is physically different from the visual sign (electromagnetic wave). Almalech considered prototypes to be the cognitive interface between verbal and visual colors. Therefore, semiotically understood, color is a cultural unit that contains verbal and visual colors, complemented by social, religious, and folkloric use of primary and secondary color meanings.
Agreeing objects in Zulu can be indefinite and non-specific
Authors: Zeller Jochen 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In a number of Bantu languages, object marking is correlated with a definite or specific interpretation of the agreeing object DP, and similar claims about the semantic effects of object marking have also been made for Zulu (Nguni; S42). This paper examines these claims by applying a range of diagnostic tests for (in)definiteness and (non-)specificity to sentences with object-marked objects in Zulu. The paper’s first finding is that agreeing objects in Zulu can violate the uniqueness requirement that holds for definite expressions, and can therefore appear in contexts in which definite DPs are not tolerated. The second finding is that object-marked objects in Zulu can take narrow scope in relation to intensional verbs and negation, in which case they are interpreted as (scopally) non-specific. Object marking in Zulu therefore cannot be regarded as a morphosyntactic device to mark definiteness or specificity. Rather, it is suggested that the interpretative effects of object marking follow from information structure: agreeing DPs in Zulu are obligatorily dislocated and hence appear outside the focus domain (the vP). Consequently, an agreeing object in Zulu is incompatible with semantic focus, which implies that it can (but crucially, does not have to) be interpreted as denoting a discourse-familiar referent.

Abstract
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) has a poor prognosis and can be diagnosed with systemic metastases. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of SCLC are unclear, requiring further investigation. The current research aims to identify relevant biomarkers and available drugs to treat SCLC. The bioinformatics analysis comprised three Gene Expression Omnibus datasets (including GSE2149507, GSE6044, and GSE30219). Using the limma R package, we discovered differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the current work. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses were made by adopting the DAVID website. The DEG protein–protein interaction network was built based on the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins website and visualized using the CytoHubba plugin in Cytoscape, aiming to screen the top ten hub genes. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was adopted for verifying the level of the top ten hub genes. Finally, the potential drugs were screened and identified using the QuartataWeb database. Totally 195 upregulated and 167 downregulated DEGs were determined. The ten hub genes were NCAPG, BUB1B, TOP2A, CCNA2, NUSAP1, UBE2C, AURKB, RRM2, CDK1, and KIF11. Ten FDA-approved drugs were screened. Finally, two genes and related drugs screened could be the prospective drug targets for SCLC treatment.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
We propose two designs of low-loss and temperature-insensitive single-mode waveguide crossing on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform with 415-nm operation bandwidth covering all optical communication bands. Both designs are enabled by subwavelength grating (SWG) modeled as an anisotropic metamaterial. The initial design applies straight SWG as the lateral cladding of the waveguide crossing to minimize the refractive index contrast and reduce the insertion loss (IL), but needs a relatively long taper. An improved design is then proposed where the curved SWG is introduced to replace the straight SWG to decrease the taper length and improve the performance. The waveguide crossing with the improved design achieves a calculated maximum IL of 0.229 dB and maximum crosstalk of −35.6 dB over a 415-nm wavelength range from 1260 nm to 1675 nm. The proposed devices are fabricated and characterized. Measured results of the improved design show a maximum IL of 0.264 dB and maximum crosstalk of −30.9 dB over a 230-nm wavelength range including O-, C-, and L-bands, which accord well with the simulation. Low temperature sensitivity has also been demonstrated in both simulations and experiments.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Fermatean fuzzy sets (FFSs) are invented to resolve the underlying limitations of intuitionistic fuzzy sets and Pythagorean fuzzy sets. The major goal of this study is to introduce Fermatean fuzzy semi-prime ideals of ordered semigroups. Fermatean fuzzy semi-prime ideals and Fermatean fuzzy prime ideals are introduced. Also, we illustrate some novel concepts to construct Fermatean fuzzy intra-regular and regular ideals. Using the conception of function of the characteristic of ordered semigroups of FFSs, we show certain fundamental facts. Several relations are given for the family of Fermatean fuzzy regular ideals of ordered semigroups.

AbstractThe peptide toxin candidalysin, secreted by Candida albicans hyphae, promotes stimulation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). However, candidalysin alone triggers a distinct mechanism for NET‐like structures (NLS), which are more compact and less fibrous than canonical NETs. Candidalysin activates NADPH oxidase and calcium influx, with both processes contributing to morphological changes in neutrophils resulting in NLS formation. NLS are induced by leucotoxic hypercitrullination, which is governed by calcium‐induced protein arginine deaminase 4 activation and initiation of intracellular signalling events in a dose‐ and time‐dependent manner. However, activation of signalling by candidalysin does not suffice to trigger downstream events essential for NET formation, as demonstrated by lack of lamin A/C phosphorylation, an event required for activation of cyclin‐dependent kinases that are crucial for NET release. Candidalysin‐triggered NLS demonstrate anti‐Candida activity, which is resistant to nuclease treatment and dependent on the deprivation of Zn2+. This study reveals that C. albicans hyphae releasing candidalysin concurrently trigger canonical NETs and NLS, which together form a fibrous sticky network that entangles C. albicans hyphae and efficiently inhibits their growth.
The other side of capacitation: role of mouse male molecules in the regulation of time and place of capacitation
Authors: Nicolli Anabella R , Cesari Andreina 
Published: October 2023

In brief
Capacitation is regulated by decapacitation factors secreted by male ducts and accessory sex glands. This revision is focused on targets and events regulated by decapacitation factors in Mus musculus and their potential use for fertility control.

Abstract
Sperm capacitation is a necessary process for mammalian spermatozoa to acquire fertilization capability. This process occurs when the sperm enters the female’s reproductive duct, involving a vital interplay with the uterine and oviductal environment, leading to morphological, physiological, and biochemical modifications in the male gamete. Besides, for a successful sperm capacitation, molecules are incorporated onto the sperm’s surface during its passage through the male reproductive tract followed by their subsequent removal. These molecules, referred to as decapacitation factors (DFs), also regulate capacitation, preventing this process from occurring in the wrong site or at the wrong time. While decapacitation factors have been extensively studied in recent decades in species such as Mus musculus, there is no comprehensive report consolidating information on all the identified decapacitation factors and the molecular basis of their function. The aim of this review is to summarize the data related to decapacitation factors discovered and characterized in Mus musculus. Concurrently, this review aims to elucidate the implications of different decapacitation factors throughout the fertilization process (i.e. capacitation, acrosomal reaction, and fertilization), as well as the methodologies employed for their investigation. Given that mice (Mus musculus) have served as a valuable model in reproductive research due to their genetic similarity to humans, this review contributes to our understanding of the role of decapacitation factors in male fertility.

Published: October 2023

In brief
Preeclampsia (PE) is a severe complication that leads to major maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity, and one of its causes is extravillous trophoblast (EVT) dysfunction. This study revealed the role of CD74 in the invasion and proliferation of EVTs.

Abstract
PE is a severe hypertensive disorder during pregnancy, and one of its causes is the dysfunction of EVTs. In this study, we analyzed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data of placentas from PE patients and the sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) heterozygous knockout mouse model, which exhibited typical PE-like symptoms. We identified 134 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with similar trends in EVTs of PE patients and in parietal trophoblast giant cells (P-TGCs) of Sirt1−/− (HO) placentas from Sirt1+/− (HE) pregnant mice. Interestingly, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that 134 overlapping genes were related to the MAPK signaling pathway. We validated several DEGs using immunofluorescence at the protein level. Finally, we selected CD74 for further experiments, which showed a decrease in EVTs of PE patients and in P-TGCs of Sirt1−/− placentas from Sirt1+/− pregnant mice. Additionally, cell proliferation assays and transwell assays showed that the proliferation and invasion abilities were decreased in CD74 knockdown HTR8/SVneo cells using lentivirus transfection, which can be improved by adding the SIRT1 agonist SRT1720 or metformin, an agonist of the MAPK signaling pathway. Importantly, the expression of CD74 can be positively regulated by SIRT1. These data suggest that CD74 plays an important protective role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia by regulating the MAPK signaling pathway, which can be regulated by SIRT1.
Memories of Academician Professor Vyacheslav Vsevolodovich Ivanov, on the Occasion of the Fifth Anniversary of His Death
Authors: Eckert Rainer 
Published: October 2023

Born on August 21, 1929 in Moscow, Vjačeslav Vsevolodovič Ivanov died on October 7, 2017 in Los Angeles. The beginning of an unprecedented scientific career of Vjačeslav Vsevolodovič was interrupted by a ruthless political campaign of the MGU management in 1959, which ended with Vjačeslav Vsevolodovič's expulsion from the university. Those in power at the time condemned Vjačeslav Vsevolodovič Ivanov for his public ne gation of the official verdict on the novel by B.L. Pasternak doctor Živago and in support of the scientific views of the world-renowned linguist prof. dr. Roman Osipovic Jacobson. The life and work of VJAČESLAV VSEVOLODOVIČ IVANOV, based on the many languages and the literatures that existed through them, which he researched and communicated to people (and especially to student youth) in a rarely encountered way, were through a constant intrusion in science about man and in art and closely linked with a deep humanism and an exemplary empathy.
From the Editor. The memoirs of the famous German baltist Rainer Eckert about Vyacheslav Vsevolodovich Ivanov, member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, director of the Institute of World Culture at Moscow State University and professor in the Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Literatures at the University of California, an outstanding scholar of encyclopedic outlook, are dedicated to the fifth anniversary of his death. The Memoirs of Prof. Rainer Eckert are published without changes, with the author's references to the books and articles mentioned in the text.
The Importance of Constitutional Awareness for the Exercise of Electoral Rights – Reflections on Guarantees for the Involvement of Social Actors in the Electoral Process
Authors: Chmielarz-Grochal Anna 
Published: October 2023

In the context of the 2018 amendments to the Electoral Code of the Republic of Poland, which aimed to increase the participation of citizens in elections and ensure the transparency of the electoral procedures, this article analyses the impact of constitutional awareness and the perception of the essence of the mechanisms of government implementation on the active interest of citizens and their involvement in electoral procedures. The author aims to describe the essential aspects of the electoral reform and to determine whether the transformation of the electoral administration model, instead of promoting citizen participation in the electoral process, has reduced their confidence in the credibility and fairness of the electoral procedures. This article was prepared in the framework of the National Science Centre funded research project No. 2017/27/L/HS5/03245 Constitutional Consciousness as a Remedy for the Crisis of Discourse and Democracy Deficit in the European Union (No. DEC-2017/27/L/HS5/03245).

By concentrating on the few recognised instruments of private international law, the article analyses problems in international commercial dispute resolution arising from Brexit. In particular, the paper deals with the relevance of, firstly, the 2007 Lugano Convention on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters; secondly, the 2005 Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements; and, thirdly, the 2019 Hague Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Civil or Commercial Matters, all in the context of Brexit. Contextual analysis of each of the said instruments pays particular attention to the challenges specific to each of them. Therefore, for example, the article discusses the EU’s arguments in relation to its refusal to allow the United Kingdom to join the aforementioned 2007 Lugano Convention as well as varying perspectives on the moment when the 2005 Hague Convention begins to apply to the United Kingdom. Finally, the paper discusses the relevance of the recent 2019 Hague Convention in the context of Brexit.

AbstractOpen science refers to a set of practices that aim to make scientific research more transparent, accessible, and reproducible, including pre-registration of study protocols, sharing of data and materials, the use of transparent research methods, and open access publishing. In this commentary, we describe and evaluate the current state of open science practices in behavioral addiction research. We highlight the specific value of open science practices for the field; discuss recent field-specific meta-scientific reviews that show the adoption of such practices remains in its infancy; address the challenges to engaging with open science; and make recommendations for how researchers, journals, and scientific institutions can work to overcome these challenges and promote high-quality, transparently reported behavioral addiction research. By collaboratively promoting open science practices, the field can create a more sustainable and productive research environment that benefits both the scientific community and society as a whole.

The purpose of this study is to present a scoping review of the measurements of tongue strength available, particularly in adult patients, following partial glossectomy. The subsequent impact on functionality and quality of life were also explored.
Materials and methodsThis study used a scoping review and the study selection comprised two stages of screening: the review of the title and abstract followed by a full-text review. During the first stage of screening, the title and abstracts of all retrieved references were reviewed against the predetermined inclusion criteria. In the second stage of screening, all studies were reviewed at full-text level, utilising the Full-Text Screening Relevance measure. A total of 20 articles were reviewed as they met the inclusion criteria
Results The study found that subjective and quality-of-life measures may still be useful in measuring tongue strength in developing contexts as they closely approximate objective measures and are reliable as an interim measure. However, there is still a need for the development of other objective measures, should funding be available.

Authors: Rezende Cicero Eduardo , Marçal Danielle Cristina Pereira , Freitas Rilke Tadeu Fonseca 
Published: October 2023

The world fish production has been growing in response to the great demand for healthy food and Brazil has the conditions to export fish. However, the development of the chain is necessary, with the use of production techniques and tested genetic material. Tilapia is an excellent breeder, however studies on specialized varieties need to be conducted. In view of the above, the present study aimed to evaluate the applicability of the MGTUFLAP variety as a matrix in diallel crossings with two commercial varieties widely spread in the territory and the performance of the offspring. Data from offspring originating from nine distinct genetic groups produced in the 2015/2016 aquaculture year were collected in the fish farming sector of the Federal University of Lavras. All animals were weighed and had their morphometry measured, then slaughtered and processed in order to obtain the weight of the cuts and processing residues. The general and specific combining ability and the maternal effect were estimated and the morphometric averages, cuts and yields were grouped using the Skott Knott method (p<0.05). In general, the genetic groups descending from MGTUFLAP variety showed worse performance for head size and filet weight, but obtained higher filet yield and lower carcass yield. The adapted variety showed good general and specific combining ability, as well as better maternal effect on the traits of head weight and filet yield. We conclude that the variety MGTUFLAP presents good results in crossbreeding and the females are an excellent option for maternal line.
