Abstract
During 2018–2022, the local breeding population of the long-legged buzzard (Buteo rufinus) in southeastern Bulgaria was monitored in the territory of three districts of Sliven, Yambol and Burgas. Diet data were collected in 15 breeding pairs. Overall, we identified 290 prey items. We used three methods for diet analysis that produced different results: (1) collecting prey remains (68 individuals, 23.5%), (2) collecting pellets and skeletal materials (42 individuals, 14.5%), and (3) collecting data on a diet using trail cameras (180 individuals, 62.1%). The dominant part of the diet formed mammalian species (69.3%, ten species and some undetermined Rodentia and other Mammalia). Birds were less represented but with similar species richness (21.0%, 11 species and pigeons (Columba sp.), thrushes (Turdus sp.), undetermined Passeriformes and Galliformes). Compared to birds, the proportion of Reptilia was lower (9.3%, two species). Amphibia were represented only with one specimen of the common toad (Bufo bufo). The dominant diet of long-legged buzzards in southeastern Bulgaria was European souslik (Spermophilus citellus, 31.0%), followed by sibling vole (Microtus mystacinus, 25.5%). Less abundant taxa were undetermined Passeriformes (6.9%), lesser mole rat (Nannospalax leucodon, 5.9%), pigeons (4.5 %), blotched snake (Elaphe sauromates, 3.8%), Balkan green lizard (Lacerta trilineata, 3.5%), European hare (Lepus europaeus, 3.1%), common magpie (Pica pica, 2.8%), Colubridae (1.7%), common blackbird (Turdus merula, 1.4%), domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus, 1.0%) and Eurasian skylark (Alauda arvensis, 1.0%). Spermophilus citellus was the most abundant species in the Yambol district samples and the most abundant species in the data obtained from trail cameras. In the Burgas district, the dominant species was Microtus mystacinus. When comparing the diet spectrum of Buteo rufinus from other authors, birds occurred more frequently than reptiles in our material.

Green Open Space Planning (RTH) for urban areas needs to support ecological functions, education facilities, and social interaction facilities for urban communities and regional identity. As green open spaces, Complex Elementary Park and Reading Park in Palopo, South Sulawesi have not yet fulfilled their functions and benefits optimally. The two parks that are located in the heritage area become a unique/distinctive potential to show the historical connotation of the location in its design. This study aims to provide landscape design recommendations by exploring the potential of the location through the historical and cultural approach of the Luwu Kingdom. The research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method that refers to the landscape planning of Seymour M. Gold through the stages of preparation, inventory, analysis, synthesis, and planning. The results of this study resulted in an Education Park site plan that elaborated the physical and philosophical characteristic of three cultural heritages, namely the Datu Luwu Palace Complex, the Jami' Mosque, and the Post and Giro Office. Konsep Taman Edukasi pada Perencanaan Ruang Terbuka Hijau melalui Pendekatan Sejarah dan Budaya. Perencanaan Ruang Terbuka Hijau (RTH) Kawasan Perkotaan perlu menunjang fungsi ekologis, wadah pendidikan, sarana interaksi sosial masyarakat urban dan identitas daerah.

Published: March 2023

Фракционный состав является одним из ключевых показателей качества нефти, определяя ее потенциал и направления переработки. Рассмотрена история развития методов определения компонентного состава нефти на примере зарубежного опыта, в частности разработок американских ученых и инженеров, которые одними из первых начали исследования в этой области. Показаны этапы совершенствования фракционного анализа в связи с развитием нефтяной промышленности и актуальными задачами производства. Мощным стимулом для развития перегонки, в том числе анализа компонентного состава нефти, стал стремительный рост потребности в различных видах топлива в начале XX века. В настоящее время методы определения фракционного состава нефти регулируются в США стандартами ASTM. При этом очевидной является потребность современного производства в новых разработках в этой области.
The fractional composition is one of the key indicators of oil quality. This article discusses the history of the development of methods for determining the component composition of oil based on the example of foreign experience, in particular, the developments of American scientists and engineers. The stages of improvement of fractional analysis are shown in connection with the rapid development of the oil industry. The rapid growth in demand for various types of fuel at the beginning of the 20th century became a hefty boost for the development of distillation in general and the analysis of the component composition of oil in particular. Currently, methods for determining the fractional composition of oil are regulated in the USA by ASTM standards. At the same time, the need of modern production in novel solutions in this area is obvious.

Parce que la littérature-monde a généralement été réduite à une littérature « en français », notre étude veut montrer que tel n’a pas toujours été le cas. Avant la publication du manifeste des 44 et de l’anthologie Pour une littérature-monde, la notion, liée aux activités menées autour du festival Étonnants Voyageurs, a largement évolué. En prenant partie pour une lecture rétrospective des espaces géographiques modélisés par les discours manifestaires et l’association des contributeurs à un pays dans les anthologies publiées sous l’effigie de ce mouvement, nous montrons que ce concept renvoie tour à tour à une littérature européenne, postcoloniale, extra-hexagonale et internationale de langue française en France.
Introduction to Design for Additive Manufacturing
Authors: Rosen David , Wong Janet 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) processes fabricate parts in a layer-by-layer manner by which materials are added and processed repeatedly. This article introduces the general concepts and approaches to design for AM (DFAM) and outlines important implications for part characteristics, design opportunities, manufacturing practices, supply chains, and even business models. It presents contrasting perspectives on DFAM, followed by a discussion on more general and overarching opportunistic design methods and on design for constraints, similar to conventional DFM. It concludes with a presentation of a design approach to the AM process chain, acknowledging that AM-fabricated parts typically undergo several postprocessing steps and that it is important to design taking into account these steps.

Published: March 2023

Background:Chlorophytumborivilianum L. is a recognized herbal medicine for the management of impotency in South Asian countries. In Ayurveda, it is used for the management of multiple health conditions, including diabetes, infection, and cardiovascular diseases. Parts of the plant have been used as excellent antioxidants and scavengers of free radicals. Since oxidative stress plays an important role in spermatogenesis and fertility in male populations, this study evaluated the role of ethanolic extract of C. borivilianum roots in epididymal sperm maturation against adversities posed by ionizing gamma irradiation.Materials and methods: Antioxidant potential of C. borivilianum root extract (CRE) was evaluated through DPPH (2,2-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl) and NO (nitric oxide) scavenging assays. Four groups of healthy Swiss albino mice were constituted, which were labeled as follows: Group I: sham control, Group II: 7-day pre-treatment with 50 mg/kg CRE, Group III: 6 Gy irradiation without pre-treatment, and Group IV: 7-day pre-treatment with 50 mg/kg CRE and 6 Gy irradiation on day 7. Swiss albino mice were observed for 30 days and later sacrificed to evaluate sperm quality parameters.Results: CRE showed a remarkable antioxidant potential with IC50 values of 46.37 μg/ml and 98.39 μg/ml for DPPH and NO, respectively. A significant decline (p &lt; 0.001) in cauda epididymal sperm count, motility, and viability was observed in Group III animals. Group IV also showed a substantial decline (p &lt; 0.01) in all three parameters compared to Group I; nonetheless, these were significantly higher than Group III. Morphological alterations indicated a coiled and bent tail, with the presence of cytoplasmic droplets in Group III, which declined substantially in Group IV. The ultrastructure of sperm indicated higher curvature of hook in Group III than Group IV, indicating specific interferences in the sperm maturation process.Conclusion: It was concluded that pre-treatment with 50 mg/kg body weight of CRE could protect sperm during epididymal maturation against oxidative stress.

BackgroundPostoperative risk stratification is challenging in patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) who undergo artificial liver treatment. This study characterizes patients’ clinical parameters and laboratory biomarkers with different in-hospital outcomes. The purpose was to establish a multi-subgroup combined predictive model and analyze its predictive capability.MethodsWe enrolled HBV-ACLF patients who received plasma exchange (PE)-centered artificial liver support system (ALSS) therapy from May 6, 2017, to April 6, 2022. There were 110 patients who died (the death group) and 110 propensity score-matched patients who achieved satisfactory outcomes (the survivor group). We compared baseline, before ALSS, after ALSS, and change ratios of laboratory biomarkers. Outcome prediction models were established by generalized estimating equations (GEE). The discrimination was assessed using receiver operating characteristic analyses. Calibration plots compared the mean predicted probability and the mean observed outcome.ResultsWe built a multi-subgroup predictive model (at admission; before ALSS; after ALSS; change ratio) to predict in-hospital outcomes of HBV-ACLF patients who received PE-centered ALSS. There were 110 patients with 363 ALSS sessions who survived and 110 who did not, and 363 ALSS sessions were analyzed. The univariate GEE models revealed that several parameters were independent risk factors. Clinical parameters and laboratory biomarkers were entered into the multivariate GEE model. The discriminative power of the multivariate GEE models was excellent, and calibration showed better agreement between the predicted and observed probabilities than the univariate models.ConclusionsThe multi-subgroup combined predictive model generated accurate prognostic information for patients undergoing HBV-ACLF patients who received PE-centered ALSS.
Proteomic analysis reveals semaglutide impacts lipogenic protein expression in epididymal adipose tissue of obese mice
Authors: Zhu Ruiyi , Chen Shuchun 
Published: March 2023

Background and objectivesObesity is a global health problem with few pharmacologic options. Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue that induces weight loss. Yet, the role of semaglutide in adipose tissue has not yet been examined. The following study investigated the mechanism of semaglutide on lipid metabolism by analyzing proteomics of epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) in obese mice.MethodsA total of 36 C57BL/6JC mice were randomly divided into a normal-chow diet group (NCD, n = 12), high-fat diet (HFD, n = 12), and HFD+semaglutide group (Sema, n = 12). Mice in the Sema group were intraperitoneally administered semaglutide, and the HFD group and the NCD group were intraperitoneally administered an equal volume of normal saline. Serum samples were collected to detect fasting blood glucose and blood lipids. The Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT) was used to measure the blood glucose value at each time point and calculate the area under the glucose curve. Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) were used to study the expression of eWAT, while cellular processes, biological processes, corresponding molecular functions, and related network molecular mechanisms were analyzed by bioinformatics.ResultsCompared with the model group, the semaglutide-treated mice presented 640 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), including 292 up-regulated and 348 down-regulated proteins. Bioinformatics analysis showed a reduction of CD36, FABP5, ACSL, ACOX3, PLIN2, ANGPTL4, LPL, MGLL, AQP7, and PDK4 involved in the lipid metabolism in the Sema group accompanied by a decrease in visceral fat accumulation, blood lipids, and improvement in glucose intolerance.ConclusionSemaglutide can effectively reduce visceral fat and blood lipids and improve glucose metabolism in obese mice. Semaglutide treatment might have beneficial effects on adipose tissues through the regulation of lipid uptake, lipid storage, and lipolysis in white adipose tissue.
Distribution of a novel CYP2C haplotype in Native American populations

Published: March 2023

The CYP2C19 gene, located in the CYP2C cluster, encodes the major drug metabolism enzyme CYP2C19. This gene is highly polymorphic and no-function (CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*3), reduced function (CYP2C19*9) and increased function (CYP2C19*17) star alleles (haplotypes) are commonly used to predict CYP2C19 metabolic phenotypes. CYP2C19*17 and the genotype-predicted rapid (RM) and ultrarapid (UM) CYP2C19 metabolic phenotypes are absent or rare in several Native American populations. However, discordance between genotype-predicted and pharmacokinetically determined CYP2C19 phenotypes in Native American cohorts have been reported. Recently, a haplotype defined by rs2860840T and rs11188059G alleles in the CYP2C cluster has been shown to encode increased rate of metabolism of the CYP2C19 substrate escitalopram, to a similar extent as CYP2C19*17. We investigated the distribution of the CYP2C:TG haplotype and explored its potential impact on CYP2C19 metabolic activity in Native American populations. The study cohorts included individuals from the One Thousand Genomes Project AMR superpopulation (1 KG_AMR), the Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP), and from indigenous populations living in Brazil (Kaingang and Guarani). The frequency range of the CYP2C:TG haplotype in the study cohorts, 0.469 to 0.598, is considerably higher than in all 1 KG superpopulations (range: 0.014—to 0.340). We suggest that the high frequency of the CYP2C:TG haplotype might contribute to the reported discordance between CYP2C19-predicted and pharmacokinetically verified CYP2C19 metabolic phenotypes in Native American cohorts. However, functional studies involving genotypic correlations with pharmacokinetic parameters are warranted to ascertain the importance of the CYP2C:TG haplotype.
Molecular tracking of insulin resistance and inflammation development on visceral adipose tissue
Authors: Bensussen Antonio , Torres-Magallanes José Antonio , Roces de Álvarez-Buylla Elena 
Published: March 2023

BackgroundVisceral adipose tissue (VAT) is one of the most important sources of proinflammatory molecules in obese people and it conditions the appearance of insulin resistance and diabetes. Thus, understanding the synergies between adipocytes and VAT-resident immune cells is essential for the treatment of insulin resistance and diabetes.MethodsWe collected information available on databases and specialized literature to construct regulatory networks of VAT resident cells, such as adipocytes, CD4+ T lymphocytes and macrophages. These networks were used to build stochastic models based on Markov chains to visualize phenotypic changes on VAT resident cells under several physiological contexts, including obesity and diabetes mellitus.ResultsStochastic models showed that in lean people, insulin produces inflammation in adipocytes as a homeostatic mechanism to downregulate glucose intake. However, when the VAT tolerance to inflammation is exceeded, adipocytes lose insulin sensitivity according to severity of the inflammatory condition. Molecularly, insulin resistance is initiated by inflammatory pathways and sustained by intracellular ceramide signaling. Furthermore, our data show that insulin resistance potentiates the effector response of immune cells, which suggests its role in the mechanism of nutrient redirection. Finally, our models show that insulin resistance cannot be inhibited by anti-inflammatory therapies alone.ConclusionInsulin resistance controls adipocyte glucose intake under homeostatic conditions. However, metabolic alterations such as obesity, enhances insulin resistance in adipocytes, redirecting nutrients to immune cells, permanently sustaining local inflammation in the VAT.
