Bridging the Gap: The Role of the Charity in Voluntary Public Good Provision
Authors: Karol Stephanie 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This paper investigates how donors to food assistance charities respond to exogenous changes in recipients’ unmet needs. When food insecurity rises by one percentage point, the average food assistance charity increases fundraising by 0.9 %. Without this response, private contributions would have fallen by at least 0.2 %. These results are consistent with a model in which economic inequality simultaneously raises the donor’s marginal benefit of giving and reduces their awareness of the recipient’s circumstances. Charitable fundraising plays a key role in maintaining the charity’s revenues at a time when they are most needed.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to characterize the phytochemical composition of essential oil from Juniperus thurifera (L.) fruits (EOFT) and study its antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal effects. EOFT was extracted by hydrodistillation and fingerprinted by using GC–MS. The antioxidant effect of EOFT was evaluated using 2,2-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric iron reduction assay (FRAP), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) assays. Importantly, the antimicrobial activity of EOFT was performed against Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium oxysporum, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Proteus mirabilis. In addition, the inhibitory capacity of NADPH oxidase and human acetylcholinesterase was also investigated using molecular docking. The results of the chemical composition reveal that EOFT constituted 11 terpenic compounds with dominance of elemol (33.86%), terpinen-4-ol (27.80%), and cryptomeridiol (18.36%). The antioxidant power of EOFT recorded IC50 values of 197.07 ± 0.09 μg/mL (DPPH) and 216.34 ± 0.06 μg/mL (FRAP), while TAC of EOFT was determined to be 181.06 μg AAE/mg. The antibacterial potency on solid medium revealed that EOFT induced inhibition zone diameters reaching 14 mm, and a minimum concentration up to 2.78 µg/mL against the studied bacterial strains. The EOFT also showed an important antifungal effect as the inhibition reached 42%, and the MIC was between 7.50 and 22.25 µg/mL. The in silico study showed that o-Cymene was the most active molecule against NAD(P)H oxidase followed by cadinol with a Glide score of −5.344 and −5.143 kcal/mol, respectively. Due to their promising results, the outcome of this work suggests that EOFT could be used as an interesting natural weapon to control microbial and freed radical-related diseases.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
High loadings of coarse alumina trihydrate (ATH), commercially used in polymers as a fire-retardant filler, cause uneven dispersion and reduce workability and affect physicomechanical properties. Better tensile properties can be achieved by uniform dispersion of nanosize ATH in polymers while maintaining its flame-retardant properties. Consequently, mechanical milling, being a sustainable approach towards the creation of nano-size materials, was carried out to reduce the particle size of coarse ATH in a high-energy planetary ball mill. Investigations were carried out to optimize the milling parameters such as time, rotational speed, milling media size and feed size. During milling, some of the physical properties of ATH change. The energy profile was studied to get the desired product properties. Nano-ATH within the PP matrix reduces the loadings with improvement in tensile and flexural strength. Hence, lightweight PP/nano-ATH composites for suitable use can be developed.
Molecular mechanisms involved in fetal programming and disease origin in adulthood
Authors: Aguayo-Guerrero José Alfredo , León-Cabrera Sonia , Escobedo Galileo 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Fetal programming occurs during the gestational age when exposure to environmental stimuli can cause long-term changes in the fetus, predisposing it to develop chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCD) in adulthood. Herein, we summarized the role of low-calorie or high-fat diets during pregnancy as fetal programming agents that induce intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), amplified de novo lipogenesis, and increased amino acid transport to the placenta, which favor the CNCD onset in the offspring. We also outlined how maternal obesity and gestational diabetes act as fetal programming stimuli by reducing iron absorption and oxygen transport to the fetus, stimulating inflammatory pathways that boost neurological disorders and CNCD in the progeny. Moreover, we reviewed the mechanisms through which fetal hypoxia elevates the offspring’s risk of developing hypertension and chronic kidney disease in adult life by unbalancing the renin-angiotensin system and promoting kidney cell apoptosis. Finally, we examined how inadequate vitamin B12 and folic acid consumption during pregnancy programs the fetus to greater adiposity, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance in adulthood. A better understanding of the fetal programming mechanisms may help us reduce the onset of insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and other CNCD in the offspring during adulthood.

Abstract
Impurity-vacancy centers in diamond offer a new class of robust photon sources with versatile quantum properties. While individual color centers commonly act as single-photon sources, their ensembles have been theoretically predicted to have tunable photon-emission statistics. Importantly, the particular type of excitation affects the emission properties of a color center ensemble within a diamond crystal. While optical excitation favors non-synchronized excitation of color centers within an ensemble, electron-beam excitation can synchronize the emitters excitation and thereby provides a control of the second-order correlation function g
2(0). In this letter, we demonstrate experimentally that the photon stream from an ensemble of color centers can exhibit g
2(0) both above and below unity, thereby confirming long standing theoretical predictions by Meuret et al. [S. Meuret, L. H. G. Tizei, T. Cazimajou, et al., “Photon bunching in cathodoluminescence,” Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 114, no. 19, p. 197401, 2015.]. Such a photon source based on an ensemble of few color centers in a diamond crystal provides a highly tunable platform for informational technologies operating at room temperature.
Stanley Cavell on the “Disgusting Child”: Ordinary Aesthetics and the Mental Health Crisis in Schools
Authors: Frank Jeff 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis article explores Stanley Cavell’s ordinary aesthetics through a close reading of one passage inThe Claim of Reason. This close reading leads to the suggestion that educating our aesthetic sense and responsiveness has ethical implications, especially as these relate to the mental health crisis in schools. The article draws implications for individuals in caring relationships with young people, suggesting that Cavell’s thinking on ordinary aesthetics is a powerful tool in our time.

Abstract
Exchange of oxygen stable isotopes (δ18O values) between precipitation waters and uranium oxides is governed by thermodynamics or kinetics. It has been assumed that meteoric waters can be related to precipitation waters in uranium ore concentrates and their calcined and reduced uranium oxide products. With this assumption, the δ18O values of uranium materials could provide forensic signatures that identify the production history and geolocation of nuclear materials. To further exploit the potential of δ18O values in nuclear material analysis, this study examines the oxygen stable isotope exchange in two UOCs, magnesium diuranate (MDU) and sodium diuranate (SDU). MDU and SDU were synthesized from solutions of uranyl nitrate hexahydrate using precipitation waters with unique oxygen isotope compositions. The structures of the MDU and SDU were analyzed using powder X-ray diffraction (p-XRD) and thermal mass loss curves, while the δ18O values of waters generated during thermal decomposition were analyzed using a thermogravimetric analyzer coupled to an isotope ratio infrared spectrometer (TGA-IRIS). By p-XRD, the MDU was uniform and amorphous across all syntheses with residual crystalline material incorporated as a minor component. Combined with the TGA results, all of the MDU is likely amorphous MgU2O7·3H2O with MgO impurities present throughout. In contrast, the SDU synthesis resulted in multiple phases with many samples exhibiting crystalline phases including a combination of Na(UO2)4O2(OH)5·5H2O and Na2(UO2)6O4(OH)6·8H2O with a Na2U2O7 minor phase. A small fraction of the SDU samples were amorphous with no crystalline XRD peaks observed. Mass loss curves of the SDU samples revealed that the amorphous samples contained inclusions of similar crystalline phases compared to the crystalline materials. The uniformity of the MDU samples enabled highly reproducible measurements of δ18O values of the water vapor yielded from two dehydration events at 170 °C and 500 °C. In contrast, the multiphase composition of the SDU samples resulted in poor reproducibility in δ18O values. Neither system revealed any correlation between the δ18O values of precipitation water and the waters released during dehydration of the UOCs.

Published: May 2023

Abstract

Objective
MiRNAs play a key role in ischemic stroke (IS). Although miR-101-3p can participate in multiple disease processes, its role and mechanism in IS are not clear. The aim of the present study was to observe the effect of miR-101-3p activation on IS in young mice and the role of HDAC9 in this effect.

Methods
The young mice were first subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) or sham surgery, and the cerebral infarct area was assessed with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. Meanwhile, the expressions of miR-101-3p and HDAC9 were tested using RT-qPCR or western blot. Besides, neuron morphology and apoptosis were confirmed using Nissl staining and TUNEL staining.

Results
We first verified that miR-101-3p was downregulated and HDAC9 was upregulated in the brain tissue of tMCAO young mice. Moreover, we proved that overexpression of miR-101-3p could improve cerebral infarction, neuronal morphology, and neuronal apoptosis in tMCAO young mice by lowering the expression of HDAC9.

Conclusions
Activation of miR-101-3p can protect against IS in young mice, and its mechanism is relevant to the inhibition of HDAC9. Therefore, miR-101-3p and HDAC9 might be the latent targets for IS therapy.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Highly conductive and stable β″-Al2O3 electrolyte powder is achieved via the solid-state reaction technique when sintered at 1200 °C, 1250 °C, 1300 °C, 1350 °C, and 1400 °C temperature, correspondingly. The findings show that the ionic conductivity has improved slightly from 1200 °C to 1400 °C. As the sintering temperature is increased, the EIS curve shows a short curve of resistance. A maximum ionic conductivity of 7.07 × 10−4 S cm−2 is achieved at 1400 °C (1800 Ω). This is caused by the large β″ contents in Al2O3, as inspected by the X-ray diffraction results. Furthermore, the morphology of Al2O3 shows less porosity and denser particles within the powder.
Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Therapy: Past, Present, and Future
Authors: Han Xinqiang , Dong Jianzeng , Benditt David G. 
Published: May 2023

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, is increasing in incidence and prevalence worldwide. AF significantly increases the risk of intracardiac thrombus formation and, if left untreated, ischemic stroke. In patients with nonvalvular AF (NVAF), the left atrial appendage (LAA) has been determined to be the source of thrombus development in 91% to 99% of cases. In this regard, oral anticoagulants (OACs) have become the standard treatment for stroke prevention in most patients with AF; however, OACs are associated with a risk of bleeding complications, and their efficacy depends on optimal patient compliance. Among alternative approaches to embolic stroke prevention, surgical LAA excision for stroke prevention for valvular AF was attempted as early as the late 1940s. LAA excision remains recommended in surgical guidelines for patients with NVAF requiring open-heart coronary bypass or valvular replacement/repair surgeries. However, owing to the traumatic/invasive nature and suboptimal outcomes of conventional surgical LAA intervention, clinical application of this approach is limited in current cardiology practice. Percutaneous LAA occlusion (LAAO) is increasingly being performed as an alternative to OAC for stroke prevention, particularly in patients with elevated bleeding risk.Substantial progress has been made in percutaneous LAAO therapy since its inception approximately 20 years ago. This article systematically reviews the literature leading to the development of LAAO and the evidence-based clinical experience supporting the application of this treatment strategy for NVAF, with a focus on recently published critical evaluations of US FDA and CE mark approved LAAO devices. Future perspectives regarding knowledge and technology gaps are also discussed, recognizing the many ongoing clinical trials that are likely to be transformative and the critical unanswered questions regarding LAAO therapy.

AbstractThe facultative intracellular pathogen Brucella abortus interacts with several organelles of the host cell to reach its replicative niche inside the endoplasmic reticulum. However, little is known about the interplay between the intracellular bacteria and the host cell mitochondria. Here, we showed that B. abortus triggers substantive mitochondrial network fragmentation, accompanied by mitophagy and the formation of mitochondrial Brucella‐containing vacuoles during the late steps of cellular infection. Brucella‐induced expression of the mitophagy receptor BNIP3L is essential for these events and relies on the iron‐dependent stabilisation of the hypoxia‐inducible factor 1α. Functionally, BNIP3L‐mediated mitophagy appears to be advantageous for bacterial exit from the host cell as BNIP3L depletion drastically reduces the number of reinfection events. Altogether, these findings highlight the intricate link between Brucella trafficking and the mitochondria during host cell infection.

Published: May 2023

Purpose- This study aims to reveal the spirit and motivation of learners in studying Qiro'ah, specifically the study is focused on the description of the forms of motivation of learners, factors that affect the motivation of learners in learning qiro'ah, as well as the steps taken by teachers in improving the spirit of learners in learning qiro'ah.
Design/Methodology/Approach- Research is carried out with a qualitative approach, data collection techniques are observation, interview and documentation studies. This approach was chosen considering that the research data found and analyzed is natural without treatment.
Findings: The results of the study are first, the spirit of learners in learning qiro'ah is very low, this is evidenced by the tasks given by Arabic teachers are not completed thoroughly by many students. Second, low motivation is influenced by internal and external factors, ineternal factors include weak ability to apply qawa'id al-lughah in reading Arabic scripts, knowledge that is less related to the urgency of reading ability, while external factors include less support from more able friends, improper media selection, methods used by teachers sometimes out of sync with learners. Third, teachers make efforts to increase reading motivation by providing reinforcement for learners related to the importance of reading skills, finding and using the right qiro'ah learning media, updating qiro'ah learning methods, increasing supervision of established tasks.
Research Limitation/Implications-Researchers have not revealed anything related to the ability to read Arabic, therefore researchers and observers of Arabic learning can continue research on various aspects relevant to this study, such as studying the correlation of motivation to study qiro'ah with understanding of Arabic reading manuscripts.
