Published: September 2023

Abstract
Inert gases, despite various uses and industrial applications, may cause asphyxiation, so their detection and monitoring are essentially needed. However, the preparation of inert gas sensors is challenging due to the inactive chemical nature of these gases. This work was carried out to investigate the transport properties of inert gas sensors based on palladium-clusters-decorated-graphene-sheets (Pd-Gr) using Density Functional Theory (DFT) based methodology. The sensors comprising Pd clusters Pdn (n = 2–5) decorated graphene were simulated to investigate the structural stability, adsorption, sensitivity, and electronic characteristics. The transport properties were studied using current-voltage (I-V) curves obtained via non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF). The current appeared small at the start due to higher electrical resistance caused by charge transfer due to the adsorption of inert gases on the sensors. However, a voltage-dependent increase in the current took place afterward. The values of the resistance are found sensitive to the adsorption of the inert gases onto the sensors which helped to detect the gases. The energy difference of frontier molecular orbitals contributing to the conduction exhibited different responsive voltages which helped to points to the gas being adsorbed on the sensor. The findings of the work revealed that Pd2 sensors are sensitive towards xenon and neon, Pd3 and Pd4 are suitable for the detection of krypton and helium respectively whereas the Pd5 sensor is more appropriate for sensing argon and radon gases.

Abstract
Background
NR2F6 is an orphan nuclear receptor with dual tumorigenic activity in the immune system and tumor cells, playing an essential role in tumor differentiation and immunity. This study aimed to investigate the expression level of NR2F6 in various tumors and its effect on neuroblastoma.
Methods
We evaluated the role of NR2F6 in the genesis and development of 34 different tumors through multiple databases. In addition, we investigated the effects of NR2F6 expression levels on neuroblastoma risk factors and prognosis using pathology sections and clinical data from primary retroperitoneal neuroblastoma in children. The effects on cell proliferation, invasion, and migration were explored by knocking down NR2F6 expression in SK-N-BE(2).
Results
The findings showed that NR2F6 was significantly correlated with the prognosis of neuroblastoma and was an important indicator suggesting disease regression. In addition, NR2F6 knockdown slowed down neuroblastoma cells' proliferation, invasion, and migration ability in vitro.
Impact:
In conclusion, our results suggest that NR2F6 plays a crucial role in tumor-promoting effects and can be used as a potential prognostic marker for neuroblastoma.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
This research investigated the viability of using Hibiscus Sabdarifa sepal mucilage (HSSM) in conjunction with glycerol (10, 15 and 20%, w/w) and carboxymethyl cellulose (1%, w/w) to create a new biodegradable edible film. The microstructural, thermal, mechanical, physical, and antioxidant activities of the films made for use in the packaging sector were tested and assessed. Overall, the results demonstrated that increasing the percentage of glycerol in the optimal amount of Hibiscus Sabdarifa sepal mucilage increased the film thickness, moisture content, solubility, water vapor permeability, and elongation at break (EB%). Significant reductions were seen in the tensile strength, melting point, and glass transition temperature (Tg). The color of the films indicated that, despite becoming faintly green or crimson as the glycerol concentration increased, they remained transparent. In addition, the produced film exhibited notable antioxidant properties. Compared to films without glycerol, glycerol-containing film samples exhibited a uniform surface morphology devoid of cavities and fractures in electron microscope images. In combination with carboxymethyl cellulose, the sepal mucilage of Hibiscus Sabdarifa, a novel and innovative source, led to the production of biodegradable edible films with desirable properties.
Association between intraoperative noradrenaline infusion and outcomes in elderly patients undergoing major oncologic surgeries: A retrospective propensity score-matched cohort study
Authors: Yang Ya-Jun , Feng Yu-Mei , Wang Tong-Xuan , Wang Jing-Yun , Pang Qian-Yun , Liu Hong-Liang 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Background:Noradrenaline (NA) is commonly used intraoperatively to prevent fluid overload and maintain hemodynamic stability. Animal and clinical studies provided inconsistent results concerning the effect of NA on postoperative outcomes. As aging is accompanied with various diseases and has the high possibility of the risk for postoperative complications, we hypothesized that intraoperative NA infusion in elderly patients undergoing major oncologic surgeries might potentially exert adverse outcomes.
Methods: In this retrospective propensity score-matched cohort study, elderly patients undergoing major oncologic surgeries were selected, 1837 receiving NA infusion during surgery, and 1072 not receiving NA. The propensity score matching was conducted with a 1:1 ratio and 1072 patients were included in each group. The primary outcomes were postoperative in-hospital mortality and complications.
Results:Intraoperative NA administration reduced postoperative urinary tract infection (OR:0.124, 95% CI: 0.016-0.995), and had no effect on other postoperative complications and mortality, it reduced intraoperative crystalloid infusion (OR:0.999, 95% CI: 0.999-0.999), blood loss (OR: 0.998, 95% CI: 0.998-0.999), transfusion (OR:0.327, 95% CI: 0.218-0.490), but increased intraoperative lactate production (OR:1.354, 95% CI: 1.051-1.744), and hospital stay (OR:1.019, 95% CI: 1.008-1.029).
Conclusions: Noradrenaline has little impact on postoperative complications and mortality in elderly patients undergoing major oncologic surgeries, and can be safely administered intraoperatively.
Improving the remote sensing process of evapotranspiration in the SEBAL algorithm using meta-heuristic models
Authors: Komasi Mehdi , Sharghi Soroush 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This paper investigated how the meta-heuristic models can be used to facilitate the estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) images. Focusing on estimating daily ET directly from received images of the electromagnetic bands of Landsat 8 satellite utilizing metaheuristic models, authors used daily ET images estimated by the SEBAL algorithm to calibrate and verify these models. The results of this research showed that the ANN model with DC and RMSE of 0.98 and 0.09025 mm/day, respectively, is more accurate compared to the ACO (with DC = 0.65 and RMSE = 1.45 mm/day) and PSO (with DC = 0.23 and RMSE = 1.60 mm/day) models in the verification stage in estimating daily ET images. The ACO model compared to the PSO model is more accurate in estimating ET images with DC of 0.65 and 0.23 in the verification step, respectively. While removing half of the training data, the accuracy of the PSO model surpasses the ACO model with DC of 0.85 and 0.80, respectively. Also, the ANN model is more accurate than the other two models in estimating ET, both when considering all the data and half of the training data (with DC = 0.98 and RMSE = 0.09 mm/day).

Published: September 2023

Objective:
This study aimed to investigate spinal involvement in psoriatic arthritis (PsA)
patients using clinical and radiographic methods

Methods:
A cross-sectional clinical study was conducted on 50 PsA patients diagnosed according
to the CASPAR criteria. Clinical examinations and functional assessments were performed. A radiographic
assessment of the spine was performed.

Results:
Out of 50 PsA patients (mean age of 45.50 ± 9.90 years), (males and females constituted
27 (54.0%) and 23 (46.0%) respectively), 76% had radiological axial involvement; (26%) with inflammatory
axial pain and (50%) without inflammatory axial pain (subclinical). Three axial radiographic
patterns were detected including spondylitis without sacroiliitis (15.78%), spondylitis with
sacroiliitis (78.94%), and sacroiliitis without spondylitis (5.26%).
In axial PsA patients, males were more affected than females (χ2=11.679, p = 0.003), with older
age (H = 15.817, p < 0.001) and higher body mass index (BMI) (F = 5.145, p = 0.010), increased
psoriasis duration (H = 9.826, p = 0.007) and severity (Η=25.171, p < 0.001), and more spinal
movement limitations than PsA patients without axial involvement (F = 26.568, p < 0.001).
Cervical involvement was higher than lumbar involvement. Axial radiographic severity assessed
by the PsA Spondylitis Radiology Index was associated with increased disability as assessed by the
Health assessment questionnaire (rs = 0.533, p = 0.001) and decreased quality of life assessed by
short form-36 score (rs = -0.321, p = 0.050).

Conclusions:
This study shows that a high percentage of PsA patients had axial involvement with a
high percentage of them having asymptomatic radiological findings. The cervical spine is more frequently
and severely affected than the lumbar spine. Axial PsA occurs in males more than females
with characteristic older age and higher BMI, increased psoriasis duration, and more limitation of
spinal mobility.
Cancer Stem Cells in Carcinogenesis and Potential Role in Pancreatic Cancer
Authors: Sharma Rishav , Malviya Rishabha 
Published: September 2023

:
A poor prognosis is associated with pancreatic cancer because of resistance during treatment
and early distant metastases. The discovery of cancer stem cells has opened up novel avenues
for research into the biology and treatment of cancer. Many investigations have pointed out the role
of these types of stem cells in the oncogenesis and progression of hematologic and solid malignancies,
specifically. Due to the existence of cancer stem cells in the proliferation and preservation of
pancreatic tumors, such malignancies could be difficult to eradicate using conventional treatment
techniques like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It is hypothesized that pancreatic malignancies
originate from a limited population of aberrant cancer stem cells to promote carcinogenesis, tumour
metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. This review examines the role of pancreatic cancer
stem cells in this disease and their significance in carcinogenesis, as well as the signals which modulate
them, and also examines the ongoing clinical studies that are now being conducted with pancreatic
stem cells.
Advances in Microneedle-Based Approaches for Skin Diseases: A
Comprehensive Review of Therapeutic Applications and Future Perspectives
Authors: Kumar Suraj , Sharma Pramod Kumar , Malviya Rishabha , Alam Aftab , Sagar Sakshi 
Published: September 2023

Background:
Psoriasis is a persistent skin condition for which only symptom management is currently available. Topical and systemic medicines, physical therapy, and other methods are all part of the standard treatment strategy. New medication delivery methods for psoriasis are urgently needed because of the present methods' shortcomings.

Objective:
The objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive description of microneedles as well as their development in the treatment of psoriasis and the clinical challenges associated with them.

Discussion:
The microneedle (MNs) technology is better than other transdermal delivery methods because it has so many benefits, including low invasiveness, painlessness, simplicity, and enhanced patient compliance. Coated microneedles, hollow microneedles, dissolving microneedles, and solid microneedles are the four basic categories into which researchers have so far sorted the fast-expanding area of microneedles. Each of these kinds of microneedles offers its own unique advantages due to their unique properties and layout.

Conclusion:
MNs may significantly improve transdermal medication penetration by mechanically opening skin micropores. Meanwhile, this method demonstrates distinct benefits over injection and oral delivery, such as painless application, the least amount of intrusion, the simplicity of self-administration, and avoiding the first-pass impact.

Kalibrasi Model Mock pada Stasiun AWLR di Wilayah Sungai Lombok
Authors: Noviadi Satia Cahya 
Published: September 2023

Di Indonesia terdapat pemodelan ketersediaan air seperti metode Nreca, Tanki, Mock maupun Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Pada penelitian ini dilakukan kalibrasi model hujan-aliran menggunakan model Mock pada beberapa Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) di Wilayah Sungai (WS) Lombok yang memiliki stasiun Automatic Water Level Recorder (AWLR). Hal ini dikarenakan model Mock sangat cocok untuk kalibrasi model rain run di WS Lombok yang memiliki sungai dengan tipe perennial. Penelitian ini melakukan analisis menggunakan model rain run Mock dengan input berupa data curah hujan, data evaporasi, data debit, dan data fisik DAS. Kalibrasi model Mock pada 19 stasiun AWLR dalam WS Lombok mendapatkan hasil 11 stasiun AWLR memiliki korelasi ≥ 70% yang menunjukan korelasi tinggi atau memiliki hubungan yang sangat erat antar variabel dan 8 stasiun AWLR memiliki korelasi antara ≥ 40% dan < 70% yang menunjukan korelasi sedang atau memiliki hubungan cukup erat antar variabel. Sedangkan terdapat 10 stasiun AWLR yang memiliki error ≤ 30% dan 9 stasiun yang memiliki error > 30%. Beberapa error yang tinggi pada kalibrasi disebabkan oleh adanya AWLR yang memiliki pengurangan debit dalam daerah tangkapan air dimana terdapat bangunan pengambilan air (bendung, embung maupun bendungan) yang disadap melalui sungai.
Полевые отчеты как источники информации об археологических памятниках Республики Калмыкия, исследованных в 1929–1991 гг.
Authors:   Kalmyk Scientific Center of the RAS (8, Ilishkin St., 358000 Elista, Russian Federation), Kekeev Erdni A. 
Published: September 2023

Introduction. A field report summarizing archaeological works — like findings proper — is a key source of information on conducted investigations. In the Soviet Union and present-day Russia, it has been common practice that findings be distributed among public museums or repositories affiliated to institutions in charge of those excavations, while field reports be obligatorily stored at scientific archives. Goals. The study attempts a comprehensive analysis of Kalmykia’s field reports (1929–1991) and shall thereto enumerate field reports and identify repositories they are stored at, assess their availability in scientific discourse and forecast further studies. Results. The work clarifies scientific archives of the Institute of History of Material Culture (RAS) and the Institute of Archaeology (RAS) contain a total of 76 such reports (1929–1991), while Kalmyk Scientific Center (RAS) houses 42 reports compiled in 1975–1991. The latter period witnessed deliveries of 59 reports to the Institute of Archaeology (RAS), i.e. KalmSC never received 17 reports at all. In terms of availability in scientific discourse, the field reports can be divided into two clusters: those of 1929–1976 were published almost completely, and those of 1977–1991 have been published in fragments only. However, a number of experts, such as P. Rykov, I. Sinitsyn, U. Erdniev, P. Koltsov, E. Shnaidshteyn, M. Ochir-Goryaeva, have published virtually all field survey-related documents of theirs from the period between 1929 and 1991. Conclusions. The conducted analysis shows that appropriate use of field reports for scholarly purposes requires that efforts aimed at investigating the latter be duly integrated: further research and publication endeavors can be planned only after one gathers complete data together. To facilitate this, it is urgent to gain copies of reports missing at KalmSC, and this shall be possible only after all the reports be made completely available. This shall prevent cases characterized by that — when it comes to compile a selection within one cultural-chronological group or some category of grave goods — individual parts of material simply make a ‘white spot’ resulting from unavailability of particular reports.

The present study aims to record the effectiveness of cooperative learning techniques in teaching English communication skills to engineering students. When communicating in English during various activities in and out of the class, engineering students are observed having various inhibitions which affect their performance. Cooperative learning is an instructional technique developed to increase academic achievement of students through social and interpersonal skills development. It is widely recognized as a pedagogical practice that promotes socialization and learning among students. One hundred first year Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) students from a private University in Maharashtra are the subjects of the present research. Two cooperative techniques viz. Role Play and Jigsaw were used to teach two units Communication Process and Report Writing. Students’ performances were video recorded. The findings showed a remarkable development in the students’ understanding and implementation of various terms in communication process. Moreover, selected students learnt how to write and present technical reports effectively. After the experiment, a questionnaire was developed and administered to the subjects to know their views on effectiveness of cooperative learning techniques. Present paper analyses and discusses the students’ views on use of cooperative learning techniques.
