Systematic evaluation of clinical efficacy of CYP1B1 gene polymorphism in EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer observed by medical image
Authors: Zhang Shaofeng , Li Danqing , Han Xia 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Lung cancer is the cancer with the highest mortality rate and the highest incidence in the world at this stage. Among them, non-small lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer, and most small cancers have disappeared, which is the optimal time for surgery at the time of diagnosis. To explore and systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of CYP1B1 gene polymorphism in the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) Mutant non-small cell lung cancer, this article proposes the principles of lung cancer screening based on CYP1B1 gene polymorphism and polarization imaging and explores the diagnosis and treatment of non-EGFR mutant lung cancer. Based on a large number of medical image data, imageomics can directly reflect the correlation between tumor molecular phenotype and image characteristics by deeply mining some imaging features of the image, which has important value in the early diagnosis of disease, the formulation of personalized treatment plan, and efficacy evaluation and prognosis prediction. A total of 141 NSCLC patients with sensitive EGFR mutation were included in this study, including 101 patients with EGFR single-gene mutation and 40 patients with EGFR multigene mutation coexisting mutation. Both groups of patients were female, aged ≥60 years, no smoking history, no family history of leukemia, adenocarcinoma, lung cancer, stage IV, lymph node metastasis, living, far from metastasis, and ECOG score of 0–2. This study examined the relative number of gene expression and PFS in EGFR multigene co-existing mutations. When the number of mixed genes is 1, 2, and higher, the PFS is 9 months, 8 months, and 6 months, respectively. The PFS time of this group of patients gradually shortened. Therefore, this study examined the benefit of polygenic mutation in estimation by comparing the clinical characteristics of patients with EGFR single-gene mutation and polygenic mutation, to provide measurement of EGFR-TKI and to provide suggestions for future drug selection.

Abstract

Curcuma sahuynhensis Škorničk. & N.S. Lý has been discovered recently whose antiviral potential is unknown, thus deserved for discovery-phase screening. A combination of experimental characterization, quantum calculation, molecular docking simulation, physicochemical analysis, and absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) was designed for the theoretical argument on the potentiality of oil-based components (1−27) against H5 hemagglutinin in influenza A virus (PDB-5E32), wild-variant SARS-CoV-2 main protease (PDB-6LU7), and SARS-CoV-2 Omicron spike protein (PDB-7T9J). Theoretical arguments based on various computational platforms specify the most promising bio-inhibitors, i.e. 23 (bio-compatibility: ground energy −966.73 a.u., dipole moment 3.708 Debye; bio-inhibitability:

DS

\bar{{\rm{DS}}}

−12.5 kcal mol−1; drug-likeness: mass 304.7 amu, log P 1.31; polar-interactability: polarizability 32.8 Å3) and 26 (bio-compatibility: ground energy −1393.66109 a.u., dipole moment 5.087 Debye; bio-inhibitability:

\bar{{\rm{DS}}}

−11.9 kcal mol−1; drug-likeness: mass 437.5 amu, log P 4.28; polar-interactability: polarizability 45.7 Å3). The pkCSM-ADMET model confirms their favorable pharmacokinetics and pharmacology. The total essence is unsuitable for use as an antiviral source in its pure form since the most bioactive candidates are accountable for the small content. Particularly, 23 (7β-hydroxydehydroepiandrosterone) and 26 (ethyl cholate) are recommended for further experimental efforts of isolation and bioassaying trials.
Analysing and developing linguistically responsive tasks within the frame-work of the cross-disciplinary Erasmus+ project sensiMINT
Authors: Lembens Anja , Krebs Rita Elisabeth 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Scientific literacy is required to judge and act in an informed and responsible manner. Science education strives to enable learners to become scientific literate. To achieve this, there are science-specific and linguistic challenges to overcome. When teaching and learning chemistry, it is important to be aware that language varies according to the discourse topic, the relationship between the interlocutors, and the medium of communication. In the context of chemistry education, students are meant to learn how to extract information from subject-specific text-types such as lab reports, diagrams, etc., and to produce them autonomously. To do so, understanding and applying the conventions of academic language and the subject-specific scientific registers is necessary. To deal with these challenges, the Erasmus+ project sensiMINT was initiated to support both teachers and learners. In cross-disciplinary communities of practice, linguistically responsive tasks are analysed, developed, and refined. The paper presents the theoretical background and introduces genre charts of different chemistry-specific text-types as constructed by the sensiMINT experts. The application of the genre charts for understanding and producing chemistry-specific text-types is demonstrated with concrete examples.

control chart is frequently used for monitoring a multivariate process. The existence of outlying observations in the Phase I data used to determine the control limit can have a significant impact on the accuracy of such control charts, as is well known. Based on the robust reweighted orthogonalized comedian estimates, a robust multivariate quality control chart for individual observations is proposed in this study. Control limit of the proposed robust control chart is estimated by modelling the simulated quantiles for any sample size. A Simulation study has been conducted to examine the performance of the proposed method and compare it with the performances of the classical Hotelling

The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, even under high-dimensional settings or when the contamination in the Phase I data is high, with both independent and correlated variables. Performance of the proposed method is also illustrated by implementing in a real-world example
Sklaverei, Heirat und „Menschenrechte“ in der iberischen Welt des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts
Authors: Allemann Daniel 
Published: September 2023

Zusammenfassung
Versklavte Personen hatten im iberischen Kolonialreich der Frühen Neuzeit ein einklagbares Eherecht. Ausgehend von dieser Beobachtung betonen sozialhistorische Studien die Handlungsspielräume von Sklavinnen und Sklaven vor dem Hintergrund vermeintlich allumfassender Rechte christlicher Sklavenhalter. Der vorliegende Beitrag diskutiert die Frage nach der Agency von Versklavten aus einer neuen Perspektive, indem er den Blick weg von den Gerichtsakten auf die Schriften der intellektuellen und politischen Autoritäten der Zeit richtet. Die iberischen Kolonialtheoretiker – eine Gruppe von Theologen, Juristen und Missionaren – verstanden das Recht auf Ehe als Naturrecht, das grundlegender als das Recht der Sklaverei war. Zugleich aber, so die Argumentation des Aufsatzes, formulierten sie zahlreiche juristische Schlupflöcher zugunsten derer, die Versklavte als „menschliche Waren“ besaßen und handelten. Auch wenn die iberischen Theologen und Juristen immer wieder mit den Ursprüngen der Menschenrechte in Verbindung gebracht werden, haben sie mit unserem heutigen Rechtsdiskurs nichts gemein – denn sie verstanden die Rechte von Versklavten als äußerst fragil und instabil.
The Return of the Accuser as God’s Defender: A Diabolical Reception of Elihu in Elie Wiesel’s The Trial of God
Authors: McDonnell Eric D. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
While a wealth of recent scholarship and popular reception has suggested the Elihu speeches in Job 32–37 are redundant and perhaps do not belong, still others maintain the character’s status as revelatory and divinely-inspired within the narrative. This article highlights Elie Wiesel’s little-noticed contribution to the discourse on Elihu through a reading of Wiesel’s play, The Trial of God. The play expands on an interpretation of Elihu first found in the pseudepigraphal Testament of Job and suggests that Elihu is a truly diabolical character who threatens the faithfulness of the righteous sufferer. This article begins with a brief survey of recent scholarly reception of Elihu, then offers a close reading of Wiesel’s analogue to Elihu in his play. The article concludes with a discussion of the ways Wiesel’s reception of Elihu can aid biblical scholars and theologians in their work on the Book of Job.

Abstract
Shear wall structure is one of the options as an appropriate lateral load-bearing system for new structures or as a means of retrofitting existing buildings. There are many types of shear walls, including steel plate shear walls (SPSWs). In enhancing its function, a thin SPSW is added with a stiffener. However, steel shear walls with stiffeners increase construction costs due to the time-consuming factor and the high cost of welding thin plates. Therefore, the infill shape was modified to increase the energy dissipation capacity of the SPSW. This study conducted simulations by varying the geometry, mesh, load factor, and materials used in SPSW. The specimen was modeled and tested using the ABAQUS application’s finite element analysis. The simulation was done by ignoring welded joints, fish plates, and bolts. The result that was the output of the simulation was hysteresis behavior. In addition, the contours that occurred were also observed in this study. The H1 shape had the best hysteresis force–displacement graphics among the nine other geometric shapes. Ten mesh sizes were tested, starting from 25 mm and increasing by multiples of 10 up to 115 mm. The results showed significant differences, with a 33.3% increase at the 115 mm size, which was considered irrational. The load factor represented the applied load in each substep, and a load factor of 2 means the load was doubled compared to a load factor of 1. Seven materials were tested, and high carbon steel outperformed others as it can handle loads up to 1,000 kN, demonstrating excellent energy dissipation capabilities.

Authors: Rasu Karthick , Veerabathiran Anbumalar 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The mechanical, thermal, and morphological analysis of red mud filled sisal/glass fiber–reinforced polyester composites have been investigated. In this study, four composite specimens were prepared through hand layup technique by changing the weight percentage of sisal fiber and red mud. Weight percentage of glass fiber and polyester resin are kept constant. The fabricated composite specimens were subjected to mechanical properties such as hardness, impact and tensile behavior, thermal, and morphological analysis. From the results, it is observed that, maximum tensile strength of 45.6 MPa was obtained for C1 specimen. Maximum hardness and impact strength of 85.67 and 391.5 J m−1 was achieved for C2 specimen. In TGA study, C1 and C2 specimen exhibited 85 % of weight loss with the temperature ranges from 300 °C to 400 °C. From SEM analysis, good bonding between fiber and matrix, voids, fiber breakages, fiber pullout, delamination, rich matrix area, poor adhesion between fiber and matrix, poor arrangement of fibers, interlinked fibers, and crack propagation were observed. Based on the results, C2 specimen which contains 30 wt% of sisal fiber and 5 wt% of red mud is performed well than other composites and it is suitable for various applications such as marine, automobile, and aeronautical.

Abstract

Introduction
Members of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been well known for their antimicrobial activities against various bacterial pathogens in aquaculture species. Thus, the present study aimed at isolating LAB members from the intestinal tract of wild-caught catfish, Clarias gariepinus, and screening them for antimicrobial production against one of the most common bacterial pathogens, Edwardsiella ictaluri.

Material and methods
LAB were isolated from the intestinal tract of wild catfish caught at the Brantas River, East-Java Indonesia. Then, LAB were screened for antimicrobial activity against E. ictaluri by in vitro assays and further assessed for probiotic candidates.

Results
A total of 29 LAB were successfully isolated and further screened for anti-edwarsiella activities. Of the 29, six isolates had strong anti-edwardsiella activity (diameter of inhibition zone, >10 mm). Based on their 16 s rRNA gene sequences, these LABs were identified as Lactococcus lactis, Enterococcus hirae, Weissella confusa, Weissella cibaria, and Enterococcus faecalis (two isolates). Further in vitro assays indicated that E. faecalis, L. lactis, W. confusa, and W. cibaria had good viability in the intestinal tract condition, having good adhesion capacity to intestinal mucus, and being harmless to catfish. However, two species (E. faecalis and W. cibaria) were resistant to novobiocin and enrofloxacin, respectively.

Conclusion
Three LAB species (E. faecalis, L. lactis, and W. confusa) are potential probiotic candidates in aquaculture to prevent enteric septicemia of catfish disease. However, further studies are needed to evaluate the use of probiotics in vivo.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
In this study the interaction between the esterified amide gemini surfactant C12-(BAE)-C12, where BAE stands for the bis(acetoxy)ethane linking group, and the non-ionic polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was investigated by the surface tension method. It was found that there was no apparent interaction between them. The interaction between C12-(BAE)-C12 and sodium polyelectrolyte polyacrylate (NaPAA) was investigated by surface tension, micropolarity and turbidity measurements. The results showed that there was a strong interaction between them. The aggregates were formed by electrostatic attraction between the molecules of C12-(BAE)-C12 and NaPAA in the bulk. This process led to the appearance of two inflection points, the critical aggregation concentration (cac) and the critical micelle concentration (CMC), on the surface tension and micropolarity curves. In addition, the inorganic salt NaBr had two opposite effects, promoting or inhibiting the interaction between C12-(BAE)-C12 and NaPAA. This was related to the concentration of NaBr itself.
NS-Kontinuitäten oder persönliche Mythenbildung?
Authors: Glahé Philipp 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
2012 geriet das Karlsruher Institut für Technologie in die Schlagzeilen, als öffentlich bekannt wurde, dass der Jurist Rudolf Greifeld, von 1956 bis 1974 Geschäftsführer des Kernforschungszentrums Karlsruhe (KfK), als Ehrensenator der Universität geführt wurde. 1975 hatte es um Greifeld einen Skandal gegeben, als der ehemalige KfK-Mitarbeiter Léon Grünbaum mit Beate und Serge Klarsfeld einen antisemitischen Vermerk Greifelds aus dem Jahr 1941 öffentlich gemacht hatte. In einem nie publizierten Manuskript untersuchte Grünbaum die personellen Kontinuitäten der deutschen Kernforschung und warf Greifeld vor, ein untergetauchter NS-Verbrecher zu sein. Die Vorwürfe wurden wissenschaftlich mehrfach widerlegt, was in der öffentlichen Debatte in Karlsruhe jedoch nahezu unbeachtet blieb.
Die „schwarze Pantherin“ vor Gericht
Authors: Caviglia Marco , Consiglio David Di , Osti Guerrazzi Amedeo 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Celeste Di Porto erlangte als „schwarze Panterin“ traurige Berühmtheit. Die junge Jüdin aus Rom hatte sich 1944 einer Gruppe italienischer Kollaborateure angeschlossen, die in der Ewigen Stadt untergetauchte Jüdinnen und Juden aufspürten, an die deutschen Besatzer verrieten und dafür Kopfgeld kassierten. Im Mittelpunkt der Dokumentation steht das Urteil, das ein Schwurgericht 1947 in Rom gegen Celeste Di Porto und ihre Spießgesellen gefällt hat. Aus diesem Urteil, das exemplarisch für einen in der deutschen Forschung weitgehend unbekannten Quellenbestand steht, lassen sich die Vorgehensweisen der Gruppe um die „schwarze Panterin“ ebenso rekonstruieren wie die Mechanismen der Zusammenarbeit zwischen der deutschen Vernichtungsbürokratie und ihren willigen italienischen Helfern. Zudem wirft das Urteil ein Schlaglicht auf den Umgang der italienischen Nachkriegsgesellschaft mit Faschismus, Kollaboration und Judenverfolgung.

Abstract
The six new trinuclear fluorocarboxylates with tetrahydrofuran (THF) molecules as terminal ligands are presented. The structures of compounds have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. According to the structure data, complexes of nickel (II) and cobalt (II) form isomorphous series, namely [K(CF3COOH)6][M3(μ3-F)(CF3COO)6(THF)3] (M = Co (I) and Ni (II)), Na[M3(μ3-F)(CF3COO)6(THF)(CF3COOH)2] (M = Co (III) and Ni (IV)) and [Li(CF3COOH)4][M3(μ3-F)(CF3COO)6(THF)3] (M = Co (V) and Ni (VI)). In crystal structures of I, II, V and VI, previously unknown cations [K(CF3COOH)6]+ and [Li(CF3COOH)4]+ have been detected. All substances were studied by IR spectroscopy, and bands sensitive to the nature of metal atoms included in the compounds have been found. The inverse coordination of tridentate fluoride-ion in cobalt (II) and nickel (II) fluorocarboxylates is discussed in the article.
Quantum Ericson Engine with Multiple States in One Dimensional Potential Well
Authors: Hasan Nailul 
Published: September 2023

A quantum ericson-engine that consists of a single particle with multiple states, has been explored. It is a quantum analogy to the classical ericson-engine consisting of a combination of two isothermal processes and two isobaric processes. By analogizing a particle in a one-dimensional infinite potential well as a gas in a piston-cylinder, quantum thermodynamic processes in a quantum ericson-engine can be explained from the analogies of classical processes such as isothermal, and isobaric. The results of the research show that the thermal efficiency of the quantum ericson-engine has similarities with the classical ericson-engine.
Rework investigation in residential building projects: Cost, factors and effects
Authors: Mahamid Ibrahim 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis article aims at investigating rework cost, factors and effects in residential building projects in the West Bank – Palestine. Questionnaire survey is used to collect and rank the main factors and effects of rework from consultants' and constructors' point of view. Respondents show that more than 80% of the projects completed with rework cost of value greater than 5% of the total project cost. Overall, respondents' view concludes that the top rework factors include: mistakes in design, unskilled labors, unqualified subcontractors, non-conformance with required specifications, and bid awarding policy. Respondents indicate that the main effects of rework are cost overrun, project time extension, material waste excess and profit reduction. Spearman correlation test concludes a good correlation between contractors and consultants in ranking of rework factors and effects. Data collected from 47 residential projects reveal a high rework impact on cost overrun in construction projects. The results of this study would be helpful for researchers and professionals to guide their efforts to minimize rework in construction projects and to improve projects outcomes in term of cost, time and quality.
