Published: January 2024

Waste banks and households in Indonesia have handled the problem of organic and inorganic waste through the principle of recycling. Plastic waste is a very serious problem to manage because it takes thousands of years to decompose plastic waste. Waste processing needs to change the pattern of waste management which is based on the collection and handling of waste, both organic and inorganic waste (especially plastic waste). The Piyungan Final Disposal Site (TPA) for the Special Region of Yogyakarta has been overloaded so that the Yogyakarta City Government at the end of 2022 issued a circular letter of the Zero Inorganic Waste Movement (GZSA). Household inorganic waste is prioritized to be taken to the waste bank in each region, including plastic waste. The purpose of the service is to facilitate a plastic shredder machine at the Notoprajan Garbage Bank Association to process plastic into small pieces. The results of the evaluation showed that most members of the waste bank association did not know how to operate a thrasher, were not yet able to operate a thrasher, and did not have the courage to operate a thrasher during trials. But most were willing to operate a chopper, knew how to maintain the machine, and were willing to perform frequent maintenance. Most members of the association will need a plastic shredder machine in the future.

Authors: Sabet Vida Khorsand , Khosravifard Elham , Keith Robert William , Mohammadkhani Ghassem 
Published: January 2024

Background and Aim: The Persian version of the University of Cincinnati Auditory Processing Inventory (P-UCAPI) is used to evaluate auditory processing disorders in Iranian people using six subscales, each focusing on different auditory skills. In this study, we aimed to compare the total score and the subscale scores of the P-UCAPI among three age groups to evaluate the impact of aging on auditory processing.
Methods: Participants in three age groups of 20, including 21–39 years (group A), 42–60 years (group B), and 61–80 years (group C) completed the P-UCAPI. One-way ANOVA and Welch’s t-test was used to compare the mean scores of each subscale among the three groups.
Results: The mean scores of listening and concentrating (p<0.001), understanding speech (p<0.001), attention (p=0.010), and other (p<0.001) were significantly lower in group C compared to group A. The mean scores of listening and concentrating (p=0.001), understanding speech (p<0.001), and other (p<0.001) were significantly lower in group C compared to group B. The mean total score was not significantly different between groups A and B (p=0.333). However, the difference was significant between groups A and C (p<0.001) and between groups B and C (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The increase of age affects the auditory processing and generally reduces the auditory performance.

Auditory Recognition of Words-in-Noise in Normal Hearing and Mild-to-Severe Sensorineural Hearing Loss with Different Configurations
Authors: Nasiri Elahe , Jalilvand Hamid , Ebrahim Mahdavi Mohammad , Koravand Amineh 
Published: January 2024

Background and Aim: Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL) reduces audibility and causes distortion, which result in difficulty with speech processing, especially in noisy environments. One of the new speech-in-noise tests is the Words-in-Noise (WIN) test. This study aimed to further investigate the Signal-to-Noise Ratio 50% (SNR-50) in subjects with mild to severe SNHL and different configurations using the Persian version of the WIN test compared to normal-hearing people.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 54 patients with SNHL aged 17– 75 years and 49 normal-hearing people aged 20–48 years. The auditory recognition in the presence of multi-talker babble noise was evaluated by the Persian version of the WIN test (named ARWIN).
Results: The mean SNR-50 in the normal-hearing group was 2.56±1.2 dB, which increased significantly in subgroups with mild (10.13±4.8 dB), moderate (14.51±4.7 dB) and moderate-to-severe (16.61±4.3 dB) SNHL (p<0.001).
Conclusion: People with SNHL need more SNR by nearly 4–6 times than the normal- hearing group for recognition of monosyllabic Persian words in the presence of multi-talker babble noise.

Published: January 2024

Background and Aim: There is limited study on the role of rostral efferent auditory pathway on Outer Hair Cell (OHC) activity. We investigated the effect of integrating alternate auditory attention (ALAUDIN©) tasks with White Noise (WN) and its reliability using contralateral suppression of Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission (TEOAE).
Methods: This study was conducted at the Audiology Clinic, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, with fifty normal-hearing adults. All subjects underwent standard audiological testing to ensure normal hearing, middle ear, and cochlear function. Contralateral suppressors with and without attention tasks were delivered randomly to the non-test ear while simultaneously measuring TEOAE amplitude in the test ear to investigate the effect of auditory attention on OHC electromotility. Suppressors with and without attention refer to the combination of a 1000 Hz tone and speech stimulus embedded in WN and WN alone, respectively. Subsequently, the difference in TEOAE amplitude during the presence and absence of suppressors was calculated, and thus suppression magnitude was determined.
Results: Intraclass correlation revealed that 4 suppressors produced high reliability. In paired sample t-tests, the tasks significantly reduced the amplitude of the TEOAE in the right ear compared to the left ear (p<0.05). However, the suppression magnitude did not differ significantly between ears (p>0.05). Descriptively, females showed greater TEOAE suppression.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that directing ALAUDIN© tasks to one ear can affect OHC electromotility, as evidenced by TEOAE amplitude changes, but it did not impact the overall suppression magnitude. Additionally, it hinted at potential gender differences in TEOAE suppression, warranting further investigation.

DEPICTING THE MOROCCAN MUSLIM WOMAN'S STRUGGLE AGAINST THE PATRIARCHAL AFRICAN-MUSLIM CONTEXT IN THE POSTCOLONIAL MOROCCO
Authors: El Aissi Hanane , Muflichah Siti 
Published: January 2024

This essay aims to show how much Leila Abouzeid, the author of the novel Year of Elephant, has developed her own discursive space in order to express the unspoken and depict the abrupt trauma of postcolonial Morocco from a postcolonial feminist perspective. The concept of "the Future" or "l'Avenir" of Jacques Derrida should unquestionably be implied in the aftermath of postcolonial Morocco. In this setting, Morocco's post-colonial fallout is obvious and predictable. The marriage, education, and administrative institutions have all been severely corrupted. Women who gave their lives in the armed resistance are now abruptly subject to patriarchy, mistreated by customs, and shunned by the law. Through qualitative description, this paper claims that the experiences of women in colonialism are celebrated. Using feminist research, experiences of women from postcolonial Morocco have been voiced and the novel portrays a woman’s spiritual journey, and it is an event of cross-cultural literary history. Published in 1989, Year of the Elephant has had a great impact on promoting Moroccan women’s legal situation in contemporary Morocco. The new millennium has signaled a new phase for women’s legal triumph.

Porcine Monocyte DNA Traps Formed During Infection With Zoonotic <em>Clostridioides difficile</em> Strains
Authors: Lawrence Jade , Barrow Paul , Foster Neil 
Published: January 2024

Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile is an enteric pathogen of neonatal pigs with zoonotic transmission remaining a significant problem in humans, including nosocomial resurgence, following oral administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics. To date, the immune response to C. difficile has mostly focused on neutrophils and cytokine/chemokines, particularly in human infection.
We show that porcine monocytes respond to C. difficile differently compared with many other bacterial infections. Infection of porcine monocytes with human C. difficile strains CD630 (Ribotype 078) or R20291 (Ribotype 027) for 3 or 24h post-infection (pi) resulted in a lack of oxidative burst or nitrite ion production when compared to uninfected controls (P &gt;0.05). The survival dynamics of both CD630 and R20291 in monocytes were similar with intracellular bacterial numbers being similar at 3h pi and 24h pi (P &gt;0.05). However, we show that porcine monocytes entrap C. difficile via extracellular DNA traps. This process began as early as 3h pi and at 24h pi the nuclei appeared to be depleted of DNA, although extracellular DNA was associated with the cell membrane. Our preliminary study also suggests that entrapment of C. difficile by extracellular DNA may occur via a process of monocyte etosis.

Abstract
In recent times, trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) a gut metabolite generated by constitutive oxidation and reduction by gut microbial and host enzymes is gaining increased attention of scientists as it has been linked to the development of atherosclerosis and other ailments such as chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus , etc. TMAO which acts as a biomarker for health risk is generated by the oxidation of trimethylamine (TMA), produced by human gut microflora from proteinaceous food material. Microbial degradation of TMA can be a predicted approach towards the reduction of the effect of TMAO on human health. The isolated Paracoccussp. strain PS1 could rapidly grow in mineral salt medium supplemented with TMA as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen. Its TMA degrading capacity was further confirmed through spectrophotometric, Electrospray Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (ESI TOF-MS) and High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. In silico analysis of the TMA/TMAO degrading enzymes were performed using bioinformatics tools.

Abstract
Background: Plasma phospho-tau biomarkers, such as p217+tau, excel at identifying Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) neuropathology. However, questions remain regarding their capacity to inform AD biological PET stages at group level and maintain the same precision at individual patient level.
Method: Participants included 248 cognitively unimpaired (CU) and 227 cognitively impaired (CI) individuals, with Janssen plasma p217+tau Simoa® assay, 18F-NAV4694 Aβ PET (A) and 18F-MK6240 tau PET (T) data. Biological PET stages were defined based on the draft NIA-AA Revised Criteria (July 2023): Initial (A+T-), Early (A+TMTL+), Intermediate (A+TMOD+), and Advanced (A+THIGH+). We used thresholds for A+ of 25 Centiloid and for THIGH of 80 Centaur (2.68 SUVRtemporo-parietal). Adding an A-T- stage for comparison, we assessed the performance of p217+tau in discriminating between these stages at the group level using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis and at the individual level using logistic regression.
Results: Plasma p217+tau concentrations increased across the stages, with significant differences between them, except for the Initial and Early stages. Screening for Advanced (vs. lower stages), combined Intermediate/Advanced (vs. lower stages), or all stages (vs. A-T-), p217+tau showed good group-level discriminations (AUC 0.91, 0.92 and 0.92; CI only: AUC 0.83, 0.89, 0.93, respectively). At the individual level, the likelihood of PET stage vs. p217+tau level showed good discrimination of A-T- vs any A+ stage and of combined Intermediate/Advanced disease stage vs lower stages in the CI.
Conclusion: In addition to accurately screening for A+ individuals, plasma p217+tau shows promise for separating persons with either Intermediate or Advanced stage AD from those at a lower stage, providing prognostic information and informing better selection for trials and disease modifying therapies.
A Peptidomics Method for Assessing Sex from Modern and Ancient Bovine Tooth Enamel.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Identification of the sex of fossil and archaeological animal remains offers many insights into their demography, mortality profile and domestication pathways. However, sex determination of fossils is often impossible due to the absence of sex-specific diagnostic features on the remains or ambivalence in extrapolating dimorphism from body size and limited organic material preservation for analysis using aDNA. To counter this, we have developed an innovative protocol employing peptidomic techniques of tooth enamel in bovines. We discovered male-specific amino acid variations in AmelY (Asp44, Leu46, Tyr48 and Val58) unique to modern cattle and then successfully applied this same method to sex bovine tooth enamel from Neolithic sites in the Southern Levant (ca. 9,000 BP). We also compared diagenesis of AmelX using peptide length and site-specific post-translational modifications. Additionally, site-specific post-translational modifications (PTMs) of AmelX were identified and can be used to validate the antiquity of ancient enamel. Since teeth are usually better preserved than bones in the fossil and archaeological record, this innovative protocol has the potential to enable sex-determination is ancient bovine remains that currently cannot be sexed.
Safe and sustainable fish and seafood system and per-and poly-fluorinated substances occurrence: the role of PFAS toxicity in the assessment
Authors: Brambilla Gianfranco 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Fish and seafood are valuable sources both of nutrients and organic contaminants. The expansion of the analytical per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) panel with a toxicological characterisation necessitates an update of PFAS intake assessment and management within the context of cumulative exposure. Benthic and demersal seafood such as clams, squid, and cuttlefish, are more prone to contamination with C9-C14 perfluoro-carboxylic acids, exhibiting the highest Relative Potency Factors in terms of immuno-toxicity, according to the grid recently proposed by the European Commission Scientific Committee on Health, Environment, and Emerging Risk. Based on the Italian food consumption database referred to demersal and benthic biota such as squid, cuttlefish, crustaceans, and clams, a toxicological-based intake scenario has been drafted to highlight the relevant contribution of such wild species to PFAS intake, well above the provisional health-based guidance value of 4.4 ng/kg body weight per week proposed by the European Food Safety Authority. Ensuring consistency between PFAS reduction and substitution policies, environmental quality standards for water bodies and the issuance of advisories and regulations regarding fish and seafood safe&sustainable intake is crucial. This, to prevent a loss of accountability for institutional bodies, which aim to protect fragile (sensitive and vulnerable) groups from PFAS exposure and simultaneously promote the 'Blue Growth' as sustainable food production system.

Abstract
Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV), an emerging Alpha-coronavirus, brings huge economic loss in swine industry. Interferons (IFNs) participate in a frontline antiviral defense mechanism triggering the activation of numerous downstream antiviral genes. Here, we demonstrated that TRIM25 overexpression significantly inhibited SADS-CoV replication, whereas TRIM25 deficiency markedly increased viral yield. We found that SADS-CoV N protein suppressed IFN production induced by Sendai virus (SeV) or poly(I:C). Moreover, we determined that SADS-CoV N protein interacted with RIG-I tandem caspase activation and recruitment domain and TRIM25 CCD domain. The interaction of SADS-CoV N protein with RIG-I and TRIM25 caused TRIM25 multimerization inhibition, the RIG-I-TRIM25 interaction disruption, and consequent the IRF3 and TBK1 phosphorylation impediment. Overexpression of SADS-CoV N protein facilitated the replication of VSV-GFP by suppressing IFN-I production. Our results demonstrate that SADS-CoV N suppresses the host IFN response, thus highlighting the significant involvement of TRIM25 in regulating antiviral immune defenses.
