ABSTRCT The phenomenon that often occurs in climbing perch culture (Anabas testudineus, Bloch) is a significant size difference between individuals of male and female those lead to high variation in culture yields. In addition to genetic factors, the difference possibly reflects the sexual dimorphism in this fish; female grows faster than male. This research was conducted to examine sexual dimorphism related to growth quantitatively. Sixty individuals of 45-days old juvenile derived from mating of five pairs broods were randomly picked up and reared individually in 20×20×100 cm3 net cages for 135 days. Fish were fed on commercial feed (30% protein) three times a day at 10% feeding rate. Body weight and body length were individually recorded every 15 days, sex was determined at the end of the experiment by surgering the fish and gonad was weighed to calculate gonadosomatic index (GSI). The results showed that growth and specific growth rate of female were 1.17 and 1.48 fold respectively higher than male. This result indicates that female monosex culture of climbing perch is highly promising. Keyword: dimorphism, growth, climbing perch, Anabas testudineus ABSTRAK Salah satu fenomena yang sering dijumpai dalam budidaya ikan papuyu (Anabas testudineus, Bloch) adalah perbedaan ukuran yang mencolok antara individu jantan dan betina yang menyebabkan hasil panen ikan sangat bervariasi. Selain faktor genetik, perbedaan ini diduga disebabkan oleh adanya dimorfisme seksual terkait pertumbuhan. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menguji dimorfisme seksual terkait dengan pertumbuhan ikan papuyu secara kuantitatif. Benih ikan umur 45 hari hasil pemijahan lima pasang induk diambil secara acak sebanyak 60 ekor dan dipelihara selama 135 hari secara individu di dalam 60 unit hapa (20×20×100 cm3). Ikan diberi pakan komersial (protein 30%) tiga kali sehari sebanyak 10% bobot tubuh. Bobot dan panjang semua ikan dicatat setiap 15 hari sekali, jenis kelamin ditentukan di akhir penelitian dengan cara membedah, mengamati gonad, dan menimbangnya untuk menentukan indeks gonadosomatik (IGS). Hasil penelitian membuktikan adanya dimorfisme seksual terkait pertumbuhan pada ikan papuyu; pertumbuhan bobot mutlak dan laju pertumbuhan bobot harian ikan betina masing-masing 1,48 kali dan 1,17 kali lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan ikan jantan. Hasil penelitian ini mengindikasikan bahwa pengembangan budidaya ikan papuyu monoseks betina prospektif untuk dilakukan. Kata kunci: dimorfisme, pertumbuhan, papuyu, Anabas testudineus

Recently, there has been a massive innovation of online loans and good purchases using pay later with installment schemes. The phenomenon inevitably brings into controversies among the public recalling the old discussion about bank interest. Although Islamic scholars have formulated religious edict (fatwa) about bank interest, some look unfirm, such as that of NU (Nahdlatul Ulama’). This writing aims to portray the seemingly unfirm attitude of the organization relying on the assumption that it actually aims to campaign Islamic economic moderation a la NU. This is qualitative research using the phenomenological approach with the interview as the data compilation method. The opinion of 8 Kiais from the East Java NU insiders became the research subjects. The result shows how the dispute of bank interest has been becoming a continuously debatable topic. Among the three opinions about the bank interest, namely haram, halal, and shubhat, most informants choose the moderate one by neither considering it halal nor haram, including categorizing it as a part of riba type. This intersubjective opinion resonates with organizational opinion which reflects tolerance of the Indonesian monetary reality, such as Islamic banking and conventional banks which are respectively used by Indonesians. This sort of contestation takes a form of formalist and substantial moderation for bridging extreme opinions about the bank's interest.

‘Greening’ an Oil Exporting Country: a Hydrogen, Wind and Gas Turbine Case Study
Authors: Rawesat Abdulwahab , Pilidis Pericles 
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT

In the quest for decarbonisation, it&#039;s essential for different sectors of the economy to collaborate and invest significantly. This study presents an innovative approach that merges technological insight with philosophical considerations at a national scale, with the intention of shaping national policy and practice. The aim of this research is to assist in formulating decarbonisation strategies for intricate economies. Libya, a major oil exporter aiming to diversify its energy revenue sources, is used as the case study, although the principles can be applied to create decarbonisation strategies across the globe.
The decarbonisation framework evaluated in this study encompasses wind based renewable electricity, hydrogen, and gas turbine combined cycles. A comprehensive set of both official and unofficial national data was assembled, integrated and analysed to conduct this study. The developed analytical model considers a variety of factors including consumption in different sectors, geographical data, weather patterns, wind potential, and consumption trends, amongst others. Even when gaps and inconsistencies were encountered, reasonable assumptions and projections were used to fill these. This model is seen as a valuable foundation for developing replacement scenarios that can realistically guide production and user engagement towards decarbonisation. The aim of this model is to maintain the advantages of the current energy consumption, assuming a 2% growth rate, and to assess changes in energy consumption in a fully green economy. While some level of speculation is present in the results, important qualitative and quantitative insights emerge, with the key takeaway being the use of hydrogen and the anticipated considerable increase in electricity demand. Two scenarios were evaluated: achieving energy self-sufficiency and replacing current oil exports with hydrogen exports on an energy content basis.
This study offers, for the first time, a quantitative perspective on the wind-based infrastructure needs resulting from the evaluation of the two scenarios. In the first scenario, energy requirements were based on replacing fossil fuels with renewable sources. In contrast, the second scenario included maintaining energy exports at levels like the past, substituting oil with hydrogen. The findings clearly demonstrate that this transition will demand vast changes and substantial investments. The primary requirements identified are 14876 or 24532 square kilometres (for self-sufficiency and exports), and 47 single-shaft 600 MW combined-cycle gas turbines. This foundational analysis could represent the commencement of the research, investment, and political agenda on the journey to decarbonisation.

Published: September 2023

Case:
A 4-year-old boy sustained an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound to the left forearm. Radiographs revealed a comminuted mid-diaphyseal ballistic radius fracture with a critical-sized bone defect. The fracture was treated with the placement of a flexible intramedullary nail and antibiotic cement spacer, followed by second-stage bone grafting and open reduction and internal fixation of the radius 6 weeks later. Four months after the second-stage procedure, the radial defect healed appropriately without complications.

Conclusion:
In this case of a pediatric comminuted mid-diaphyseal radius fracture with bone loss, the induced membrane technique resulted in healing across a critical-sized bone defect.

Abstract
Objectivesand Design: A retrospective study examining progress towards diversity at the intersection of gender and ethnicity amongst senior higher education academics and managers in England and Wales. The study aimed to assess any evidence of competing diversity agendas and the impact of diversity initiatives on female racial minorities.
Data Sources: Employment records of senior higher education staff were used to assess trends in race and gender. Data on the receipt of Athena SWAN or Race Equality Charter awards by higher education institutions were also collected.
Study Selection: The study included higher education institutions in England and Wales, analysing employment records of senior academics and managers for the academic years 2012/2013 to 2018/2019.
Data Extraction and Preparation: Employment records were used to extract information on the race and gender of senior staff. Mixed-effects modelling was employed to analyse the relationship between receiving diversity awards (Athena SWAN Silver or Race Equality Charter Bronze) and female racial differences.
Results: Ethnic minority females experienced increasing representation in senior staff positions over the study period. However, disparities were observed, with Black females showing fewer signs of advancement. Institutions that received Athena SWAN Silver or Race Equality Charter Bronze awards demonstrated increasing gender and racial diversity, with no evidence of competing diversity effects.
Conclusion: The study found evidence of progress in advancing gender and ethnic diversity in senior academic and leadership positions in higher education in England and Wales. Despite this, certain racial groups, such as Black females, faced greater challenges in advancement. The positive impact of diversity initiatives was observed, with no evidence of conflicting diversity agendas. Further research is recommended to investigate structural factors affecting ethnic minorities in higher education, as well as potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the diversity agenda.

Abstract

Bioprinting that can synchronously deposit cells and biomaterials has lent fresh impetus to the field of tissue regeneration. However, the unavoidable occurrence of cell damage during fabrication process and intrinsically poor mechanical stability of bioprinted cell-laden scaffolds severely restrict their utilization. As such, on basis of heart-inspired hollow hydrogel-based scaffolds (HHSs), a mechanical-assisted post-bioprinting strategy is proposed to load cells into HHSs in a rapid, uniform, precise and friendly manner. HHSs showed mechanical responsiveness to load cells within 4 s, a 13-fold increase in cell number, and partitioned loading of two types of cells compared with those under static conditions. As a proof of concept, HHSs with the loading cells showed an enhanced regenerative capability in repair of the critical-sized segmental and aging-related osteoporotic bone defects in vivo. We expect that this post-bioprinting strategy can provide a universal, efficient, and promising way to promote cell-based regenerative therapy.

Abstract
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the three leading neurodegenerative diseases worldwide. Genes expression profiles studies play important role in recognition and prevention of disease. Considering the inherent ability of biomarkers to diagnose and prognosis the occurrence of a disease, with the aim of gene therapy and changing gene expression, it can be helped to treat it. In this study, by examining the gene interaction and expression of non-coding gene in patients with multiple sclerosis, using bioinformatics analyzes and laboratory research, to find the gene expression pattern and the interaction of potential biomarkers of this disease for It was tried to find suitable treatment targets.
Materials and methods: First, by using microarray data analysis of GEO database, the expression status of Lnc RNA A2M-AS1 gene was investigated in patients with MS. Then lncRNA-mRNA interaction analysis was performed in the lncRRisearch and ENCORI database. After sample collection, the total RNA extracted using the RNA extraction kit from 20 patient samples and 20 healthy samples was synthesized into cDNA with the synthesis kit. In the following, two pairs of forward and reverse primers were designed for A2M-AS1 gene, and finally, the expression level was measured by Real Time-PCR technique.
Result: Based on bioinformatic and laboratory analysis, the expression of A2M-AS1 gene in MS samples showed a significant decrease in expression compared to healthy samples. Also, based on the ROC analysis, lncRNA A2M-AS1 can be introduced as an acceptable diagnostic biomarker to distinguish MS samples from healthy samples.
Conclusion: lncRNA A2M-AS1 by reducing its expression as an acceptable diagnostic biomarker can increases the risk of developing MS.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Background and aims: Recent studies have shown that the negative effects of uric acid (UA) on coronary arteries determine the severity of atherosclerotic disease and may serve as a non-invasive biomarker for assessing the degree of coronary artery stenosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between serum uric acid levels and the Gensini score, which reflects the severity of coronary artery disease.
Methods:860 individuals with suspected coronary heart disease, who had undergone coronary angiography, were selected as the participants for this study. Based on the findings of the angiography, they were categorized into two groups: the coronary heart disease (CHD) group (n=625) and the control group (n=235). The uric acid levels and other clinical data were compared between these groups. Additionally, the prevalence of coronary heart disease and Gensini score were compared between the groups, considering gender-specific quartiles of uric acid levels. The clinical baseline data were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify independent risk factors for coronary heart disease.
Results: Of 860 patients (mean age, 63.97±11.87 years), 528 were men (mean age, 62.06±11.5 years) and 332 were women (mean age, 66.99±10.11 years). The proportion of smoking, diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia in the coronary heart disease group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). HbA1C, Gensini score, BMI, TG and hsCRP in the coronary heart disease group were higher than those in the control group (P <0.05), and HDL-C was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in age, heart rate, Cr, TC, LDL-C and ca2+ between the two groups (P> 0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, hypertension, hsCRP and SUA levels increased the risk of coronary heart disease, and the difference was statistically significant(OR=1.034,95%CI 1.016-1.052, P=0.001; OR=1.469,95%CI 1.007-2.142, P=0.046;OR=1.064,95%CI 1.026-1.105, P=0.001; OR=1.011,95%CI 1.008-1.014, P<0.001).
Conclusion: Uric acid exhibits a positive correlation with the Gensini score, serving as a standalone influential determinant for evaluating the extent of coronary artery stenosis and possessing a foretelling impact on the severity of coronary artery disease.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
High entropy alloys (HEAs) are gaining extensive interest in materials science, and their facet engineering has long been a pursuit for materials design and advanced applications. However, limited by the poor compatibility of crystal face regulation in high entropy scenarios with the existing extreme-condition synthetic techniques, the synthesis of HEA polyhedra is still scarce and challenging. Herein, we proposed the strategy of biphasic-modulated dewetting for self-confinement growth under near-equilibrium conditions, thus realizing facet engineering of HEAs. We discovered that liquid metal endowing low surface energy could enhance the polyhedra stability by decreasing the whole-system energy. This strategy could also be extended to various HEA polyhedra with tunable chemical composition and crystal structure, with formation mechanism elucidated through density functional theory calculation and dynamic simulation.
1b1 splitting in the X-ray emission spectrum of liquid water is dominated by ultrafast dissociation

Abstract
The 1b1 splitting observed in the K-edge non-resonant X-ray emission spectrum (XES) of liquid water has been a subject of intense debate. Some argue that it represents two distinct structural motifs, while others suggest that it is evidence of ultrafast dissociation within the core-hole lifetime. In this study, we use a theoretical approach to provide a nearly quantitative description of both non-resonant and pre-edge resonant XES. Our theoretical predictions indicate that the 1b1 splitting arises due to ultrafast dissociation, with the dynamics of this process dependent on the X-ray absorption energy. For non-resonant radiation, hydrogen is ejected as H+, while for pre-edge resonant radiation it is ejected as a neutral atom. This leads to near-dissociation for non-resonant radiation, as ~ 20% of all core-ionized molecules do not dissociate and dissociated protons still remain in close proximity to the parent hydroxyl fragment. In contrast, for pre-edge radiation, all core-excited molecules dissociate and the neutral H atom moves further away from the hydroxyl fragment, completely leaving the first solvation shell in most cases. Our simulations also predict the observed isotope effects in both non-resonant and pre-edge resonant XES and reveal that the so-called lower-energy 1b1 peak in the non-resonant XES is primarily of 3a1 symmetry. Additionally, we found that hydrogen bonding plays a significant role in explaining the XES behavior across different temperatures and phases.
