Vibroscape analysis reveals acoustic niche overlap and plastic alteration of vibratory courtship signals in ground-dwelling wolf spiders
Authors: Choi Noori , Miller Pat , Hebets Eileen 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Soundscape ecology has enabled researchers to investigate natural interactions among biotic and abiotic sounds as well as their influence on local animals. To expand the scope of soundscape ecology to encompass substrate-borne vibrations (i.e. vibroscapes), we developed methods for recording and analyzing sounds produced by ground-dwelling arthropods to characterize the vibroscape of a deciduous forest floor using inexpensive contact microphone arrays followed by automated sound filtering and detection in large audio datasets. Through the collected data, we tested the hypothesis that closely related species of Schizocosa wolf spider partition their acoustic niche. In contrast to previous studies on acoustic niche partitioning, two closely related species - S. stridulans and S. uetzi - showed high acoustic niche overlap across space, time, and/or signal structure. Finally, we examined whether substrate-borne noise, including anthropogenic noise (e.g., airplanes) and heterospecific signals, promotes behavioral plasticity in signaling behavior to reduce the risk of signal interference. We found that all three focal Schizocosa species increased the dominant frequency of their vibratory courtship signals in noisier signaling environments. Also, S. stridulans males displayed increased vibratory signal complexity with an increased abundance of S. uetzi, their sister species with which they are highly overlapped in the acoustic niche.
Identification of molecular markers of immune cell infiltration in diabetic nephropathy by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA)
Authors: Zhou Jianlong , Zhu Lv 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background
Increasing evidence has indicated that infiltrating immune cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, there are relatively few systematic studies on the immunity in DN.
Methods
The Cell type Identification By Estimating Relative Subsets Of RNA Transcripts (CIBERSORT) algorithm was used to calculate the proportion of immune cells in the GSE96804 and GSE30528 datasets, and to find the differential immune cells between DN and normal samples. The immune cell-related genes were searched by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), and the differentially expressed immune cell-related genes were obtained by taking intersection with differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between DN and normal samples in the two datasets. Moreover, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed to investigate the biological functions of differentially expressed immune cell-related genes. Furthermore, multiple machines learning analyses, including Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression algorithm, XGBoost algorithm, and random forest algorithm, and ROC analyses were used to screen diagnostic genes. Finally, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed to investigate the functions of diagnostic genes. A competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was constructed and the target drugs were queried in the Drug Gene Interaction Database (DGIdb).
Results
The nine immune cells and six immune cells with significant differences between DN and normal samples in the GSE96804 dataset and GSE30528 dataset were intersected to obtain five co-regulated immune cells. In addition, the 321 immune cell-related genes were intersected with 65 DEGs between DN and normal samples to obtain 13 differentially expressed immune cell-related genes, including one down-regulated gene and 12 up-regulated gene in DN samples compared with normal samples. These 13 differentially expressed immune cell-related genes were mainly associated with extracellular matrix, Protein digestion and absorption, and ECM-receptor Interaction pathway responses. Furthermore, NAP1L2, MOXD1, COL1A2, COL15A1, and LUM were identified as diagnostic genes by multiple machine learning analysis and AUC evaluation. Finally, GSEA revealed that NAP1L2, MOXD1, COL1A2, COL15A1, and LUM were mainly related to immune response, amino acid metabolic, EMC-receptor interaction. Based on the diagnostic genes, 647 lncRNA-miRNA pairs were created and used to build the ceRNA network. Two targeted drugs, COL1A2 and COL15A1, were acquired in the DGIdb database.
Conclusion
In conclusion, NAP1L2, MOXD1, COL1A2, COL15A1, and LUM might be used as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Authors: ZHAO Li-dong , ZHONG Ya-dong , Zhang Rui lei , Zhao Hua , LIU Run-jing 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Natural brucite is unstable in aqueous media, was modified with sodium hexametaphosphate(SHMP) as a surface treatment. In order to explore the effect of sodium hexametaphosphate on the surface of brucite were studied by using relative sedimentation measurement, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Zeta potential, infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and extend DLVO theoretical calculation. The sedimentation experiments show that the sodium hexametaphosphate modification have a positive effect on the dispersion of brucite in aqueous media. The sodium hexametaphosphate changes the potential of the burburite particles, which leads to the increase of electrostatic double layer energy between particles. Infrared spectrum analysis shows that sodium hexametaphosphate can form a hydrophilic complex with magnesium ions on the surface of brucite. DLVO extend theoretical calculation shows that the total energy between brucite particles turned from unfavorable to favorable with the increasing particles distance, and the steric hindrance interaction energy plays a dominant role. The results show that sodium hexametaphosphate have a positive effect on the stability of natural brucite suspension.

Abstract
Today, with the development of processing technologies and improvement in cloud networks, a large number of photos are transferred in networks. The need to hide data and maintain security attracted the attention of researchers. In this paper, a reversible data hiding method based on the prediction error histogram shifting is proposed in order to increase the embedding capacity and maintains the visual quality of the image as well. To reach these goals, the original image is transformed into block-wise and for each block the prediction method is figured based on the proposed method to create prediction errors. According to our prediction method, in each block, 75% of the prediction error pixels can find the ability to embed information. The experimental results show a good acceptable embedding capacity as it is clear in a sample test image of an airplane. In this case, the embedding capacity of 206,270 bits and a Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of 50/99 have been reached. These results show the efficiency of our proposed method based on the embedding capacity and visual quality of the images. The outcomes of the proposed method reach better results than the main competitor methods.
Ms.FPOP: an exact and fast segmentation algorithm with a multiscale penalty
Authors: Liehrmann Arnaud , Rigaill Guillem 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Given a time series in Rn with a piecewise constant mean and independent noises, we propose an exact dynamic programming algorithm to minimize a least square criterion with a multiscale penalty promoting well-spread changepoints. Such a penalty has been proposed in Verzelen et al. (2020), and it achieves optimal rates for changepoint detection and changepoint localization. Our proposed algorithm, named Ms.FPOP, extends functional pruning ideas of Rigaill (2015) and Maidstone et al. (2017) to multiscale penalties. For large signals, n ≥ 105, with relatively few real changepoints, Ms.FPOP is typically quasi-linear and an order of magnitude faster than PELT. We propose an efficient C++ implementation interfaced with R of Ms.FPOP allowing to segment a profile of up to n = 106 in a matter of seconds. Finally, we illustrate on simple simulations that for large enough profiles (n ≥ 104) Ms.FPOP using the multiscale penalty of Verzelen et al. (2020) is typically more powerfull than FPOP using the classical BIC penalty of Yao (1989).

Published: March 2023

Background:
Herbicides are routinely used to control noxious plants. Most of these chemicals may cause toxicity and endocrine disruption in humans and wildlife.

Objective:
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of linuron on thyroid hormone levels and some hepatic and renal parameters and organ (thyroid, liver and kidney) structures to assume their toxicity toward experimental animals and to evaluate the endocrine disrupting capacity of this chemical.

Methods:
Two groups (8 rats each) were used for an in vivo study. The lot I served as control. Lot II was exposed to 40mg/200mg/day pesticide for 50 days. Changes in hepatic and renal parameters and histological structure were investigated in different treated groups.

Results:
Data from this study showed that linuron altered thyroid function as evidenced by abnormal TSH, T4, and T3 levels. Furthermore, exposure to linuron induces a significant decrease in body weight and a significant increase in aspartate aminotransferase, alanine transaminase, total bilirubin, uric acid, creatinine, glutathione, and malondialdehyde. Previous data were confirmed through the histopathological examination of different organs.

Conclusions:
The most used phenylurea herbicide, linuron, disrupted thyroid function at a 40mg/200mg/day dose and produced oxidative stress in the liver and kidney in male Wistar rats. The data of this study warrant further investigation.
A Brief Semantic Analysis on The Form and Function of Biak’s article ’ma’
Authors: Arsai Alfons , Sahid Suardi 
Published: March 2023

Biak language, spoken by 50.000 to 70.000 native speakers, belongs to the West New Guinea subgroup of the Austronesian language family and is spoken in West Papua (formerly known as Irian Jaya), Indonesia, which is found in the northern part of the Geelvink Bay. The typology of this language is SVO and has an agglutinative pattern in which the nouns are simple.This article aims to discuss the semantic function of particle ma in Biak language and to describe its form. The technique used to analyze the data is descriptive approach namely describing the data based on what people actually say by applying the morphological paradigm to see potential morpheme by morpheme in order to determine form, function, and meaning. By doing so, this approach helps to classify which morpheme in the morphological process that the particle ma is inflected or not inflected to in the verbs or other word categories. The finding of this study shows that there are eight semantic functions which are indicated by the particle ma which has different meanings such as to show desire or volition, conjunction, reveal future condition, state reflexive pronoun, to derive verb into noun in morphological process of word formation, tense and mood, adverbial conjunction and phrasal verbs. Morphologically, there are two types of the morphemes in which the particle ma is attached to and is not attached namely as bound and free morphemes.

Abstract: Jasminum subtriplinerve Blume Oleaceae is a herbal medicine widely used for weight loss and milk gland stimulation. Extract product has been generally used but has not much scientific evidence about its safety and effects. This study aimed to evaluate the semi-chronic toxicity and lipid-lowering effects of Jasminum subtriplinerve Blume leaf extract. The study was performed on Wistar rats and Swiss mice. For semi-chronic toxicity, extracts at doses of 18 mg/kg/day and 54 mg/kg/day showed their safety after 90 days of continuous oral administration in Wistar rats. There was no effect on body weight, hematopoietic parameters, hepatocellular destruction, or liver and kidney function in experimental rats. For the lipid-lowering effect, the extracts at 36 mg/kg/day and 108 mg/kg/day showed a marked decrease in the blood lipid indexes (total cholesterol, triglycerides, non-HDL-C) after 7 days of dosing in Swiss mice on an endogenous dyslipidemic model induced by Poloxamer-407.
Keywords: Jasminum subtriplinerve Blume Oleaceae, lipid-lowering, dyslipidemia, semi-chronic toxicity.

Published: March 2023

Abstract: Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) is a common disease, especially increasing in young people, and affects the quality of life. Clinical signs of TMDs are various and complex. Diagnosis of symptoms and prognosis is essential. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study on 61 patients aged 19-23 who participated voluntarily from February to June 2022 at the Odonto-Stomatology clinic at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vietnam National University. The results showed that the proportion of women with symptoms was higher than that of men. For the clinical symptoms, percentages of the limited range of mandibular movements and mouth gap deviation were quite high (77.0% and 68.9%, respectively). Joint sounds and arthralgia took 31.1% and 24.6%, while myalgia accounted for only 11.5%. In the joint, the pain was detected mainly on the outer surface of the joint (24.6%). In both genders, the masseter muscle was the most painful muscle group. Clinical symptoms are very important in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
Keywords: Clinical signs, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, students.

LANGUAGE ELEMENTS AFFECTING MANIPULATION IN ADVERTISING: LINGUISTIC, SEMANTIC, AND EMPHATIC ELEMENTS
Authors: Zumrud Farzaliyeva  
Published: March 2023

Advertising is a tool, without which it would be difficult for our society to develop from the economic point of view. By means of advertisements one can sell his/her products, services and also buy or get whatever he wants. Thus, the role of advertisement is very great in the lives of everybody, beginning from children to elderly ones. Nowadays, advertisements have the biggest power to manipulate customers. The manipulation in different types advertising has become a tool that advertisers use to attract people. It would be just to say that manipulation has moved away the mission of marketing that of meeting the needs of customers and widens the asymmetries of power between the company and the consumer. Some of manipulative advertisements are too difficult to prove because they do have controversial content and nature. In the current article, the main language elements that affect the manipulation process of advertisements are analyzed. To be more exact, three language elements – linguistic, semantic and emphatic elements that manipulate consumers are investigated deeply here. Some unhelpful features of them are also described here, to help future advertisers to avoid ineffective advertisement text or slogans.
¿Es la medicina la más humana de las ciencias y la más científica de las humanidades?
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Mayorga Madrigal Alberto Cuauthémoc 
Published: March 2023

From a proposition that synthesizes the thought of Edmund Pellegrino, we offer an analysis of three positions on the relationship between medicine, science and the humanities.	Starting from the question: Is medicine the most humane of sciences and the most scientific of the humanities? I intend to reflect on the forcefulness of the phrase that the American doctor and philosopher held and repeated in various places: "Medicine is the most humane of sciences and the most scientific of the humanities" (De Santiago, 2014a, p. 78).	The proposition is relevant because it supports a proposal for harmony between apparently distant disciplines, vindicates the role of the humanities in various areas of culture, and proposes a foundational criterion for bioethics as a discipline that, in order to achieve its objectives, needs to engage in dialogue. the humanities with the life sciences.	Edmund Pellegrino was an American physician who lived between 1920 and 2013. Much of his life was dedicated to reflecting on the link between the humanities and medicine, giving a great boost to bioethics in the United States and the world through his collaboration with UNESCO.

BackgroundAn increasing number of patients have been subjected to prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation due to COVID-19 infection, leading to a significant number of post-intubation/tracheostomy (PI/T) upper airways lesions. The purpose of this study is to report our early experience in endoscopic and/or surgical management of PI/T upper airways injuries of patients surviving COVID-19 critical illness.Materials and MethodsWe prospectively collected data from patients referred to our Thoracic Surgery Unit from March 2020 to February 2022. All patients with suspected or documented PI/T tracheal injuries were evaluated with neck and chest computed tomography and bronchoscopy.ResultsThirteen patients (8 males, 5 females) were included; of these, 10 (76.9%) patients presented with tracheal/laryngotracheal stenosis, 2 (15.4%) with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) and 1 (7.7%) with concomitant TEF and stenosis. Age ranged from 37 to 76 years. Three patients with TEF underwent surgical repair by double layer suture of oesophageal defect associated with tracheal resection/anastomosis (1 case) or direct membranous tracheal wall suture (2 cases) and protective tracheostomy with T-tube insertion. One patient underwent redo-surgery after primary failure of oesophageal repair. Among 10 patients with stenosis, two (20.0%) underwent primary laryngotracheal resection/anastomosis, two (20.0%) had undergone multiple endoscopic interventions before referral to our Centre and, at arrival, one underwent emergency tracheostomy and T-tube positioning and one a removal of a previously positioned endotracheal nitinol stent for stenosis/granulation followed by initial laser dilatation and, finally, tracheal resection/anastomosis. Six (60.0%) patients were initially treated with rigid bronchoscopy procedures (laser and/or dilatation). Post-treatment relapse was experienced in 5 (50.0%) cases, requiring repeated rigid bronchoscopy procedures in 1 (10.0%) for definitive resolution of the stenosis and surgery (tracheal resection/anastomosis) in 4 (40.0%).ConclusionsEndoscopic and surgical treatment is curative in the majority of patients and should always be considered in PI/T upper airways lesions after COVID-19 illness.
