Abstract. Putra KWE, Pitoyo A, Nugroho GD, Rai M, Setyawan AD. 2020. Review: Phytochemical activities of Ficus (Moraceae) in Java Island, Indonesia. Bonorowo Wetlands 10: 98-125. Ficus is a genus of about 850-900 species. Some mention more than 1000 species, making it the largest species in the family of Moraceae. There are approximately 91 species of Ficus found in Java, Indonesia. Some of them have been studied about their traditional uses and phytochemistry. This study aims to know the phytochemical activities of Ficus species in Java. We found at least 40 species of Ficus studied in phytochemistry and biological activities (majority in vitro). Alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, terpenoids, steroids, glycosides, and anthocyanins are found in almost every Ficus. The biological activities include antioxidant activity, antibacterial activity, cytotoxic activity, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities, anti-diabetic activities, hepatoprotective, anti-ulcer activities, wound healing, and other functions. Many species are still unexplored, especially in phytochemistry or pharmaceutical-based folklore. This could be an opportunity to study more deeply in the future.
The potential effects of untreated sleep-related breathing disorders on neuropathic pain, spasticity, and cardiovascular dysfunction following spinal cord injury: A cross-sectional prospective study protocol
Authors: Furlan Julio Cesar , Loh Eldon , Boulos Mark Iskander 
Published: May 2023

Introduction
Sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs), neuropathic pain, spasticity and cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction are common after spinal cord injury (SCI). Prior studies suggest that systemic inflammation following SCI may be implicated in the development of neuropathic pain, spasticity and cardiovascular dysfunction. Given that SRBDs also cause a systemic inflammatory response, we hypothesized that individuals with SCI who develop more severe SRBDs would experience more intense neuropathic pain, more severe spasticity and more significant cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction.

Methods
This cross-sectional prospective study will explore the previously understudied hypothesis that SRBDs are associated with increased neuropathic pain, spasticity, and cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in adult individuals with low-cervical/high-thoracic (injury level at C5 to T6), complete/incomplete (ASIA Impairment Scale A, B, C or D) SCI.

Discussion
To our knowledge, no prior study has addressed this clinically relevant question on whether the degree of SRBDs affects the intensity of neuropathic pain, spasticity, and cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in individuals with SCI. We anticipate that the results of this original study will provide key information for a future clinical trial on the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for moderate-to-severe SRBDs, which may better control neuropathic pain, spasticity, and cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction among individuals with SCI.

Trial registration
The research protocol for this study was registered in the ClinicalTrials.gov website (NCT05687097). https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05687097.

Diagora di Melo e Teodoro di Cirene: due atei?
Authors: Casertano Giovanni 
Published: May 2023

Diagora e Teodoro sono due degli atei ricordati in vari cataloghi sugli atei dell’antichità, il primo dei quali risalente al II sec. a.C., e da allora in poi ricordati, dagli antichi fino ai giorni nostri, immancabilmente con la qualifica di atei. In effetti l’ateismo condannato ad Atene affondava le sue radici nella cultura filosofica e scientifica presocratica, la cui impronta fondamentalmente “materialistica” è autorevolmente testimoniata da Aristotele (Metafisica I 983b5-10). Le filosofie di Anassimandro, Anassimene, Senofane, Eraclito, Anassagora, Diogene di Apollonia, e naturalmente degli atomisti e dei sofisti offrirono, sia pure in maniere diverse, non solo un supporto importante alla critica delle divinità tradizionali, ma anche le fondamenta filosofiche dell’ateismo. Con questa tradizione Diagora non ha nulla a che vedere; anche alcune vicende della sua vita possono al massimo meritargli l’accusa di empio, ma non di ateo.
Di altra tempra culturale appare Teodoro, vicino non solo alla cultura della scuola cirenaica, ma anche dei cinici e dei sofisti. Di lui abbiamo non solo dei riferimenti a dottrine filosofiche, ma anche chiare testimonianze del suo ateismo, essendosi dedicato a «eliminare radicalmente le comuni credenze negli dèi». In conclusione, mentre il nome di Diagora può tranquillamente cancellarsi dai cataloghi degli atei, quello di Teodoro a buon diritto vi fa parte.
¿Nacemos de mujer? El tópico literario del genos gynaikon y su repercusión en Platón y Aristóteles
Authors: Sonna Valeria 
Published: May 2023

El decir que todos y todas hemos nacido de mujer parece una perogrullada. Esta es, como lo expresa Rich, la única experiencia unificadora, innegable, compartida por mujeres y hombres: aquellos meses que pasamos dentro del cuerpo de una mujer, desarrollándonos. Sin embargo, es usual encontrar en el discurso cívico de las ciudades griegas, la idea de que la mujer no tiene relación alguna con el origen de la especie. Las mujeres son con frecuencia representadas como un grupo separado y cerrado sobre sí mismo, el genos gynaikon, que viene a agregarse al anthropos genos una vez que este ya existe. La hipótesis del presente escrito sostiene que hay dos aspectos conceptuales que acompañan la narrativa del genos gynaikon: (i) la ambigüedad en la clasificación del grupo de las mujeres y (ii) el lugar secundario que se les asigna respecto del origen de la humanidad. Como objetivo general propongo mostrar que el tópico del genos gynaikon está presente, a través de estos aspectos conceptuales, en la concepción platónica y aristotélica de la reproducción y la diferencia sexual.
Santiago y sus rivalidades con Toledo y Roma a principios del siglo XII. Sus huellas en el género historiográfico
Authors: Isla Frez Amancio 
Published: May 2023

A principios del siglo XII en la sede de Santiago se desarrollaron diferentes propuestas que pretendieron resaltar la relevancia de Santiago frente a sus rivales. Diego Gelmírez, obispo y después primer arzobispo de Santiago, mantuvo una crispada disputa con Toledo combatiendo sus pretensiones. Para ello Diego Gelmírez y quienes escribieron la Historia Compostelana acudieron en algunas ocasiones a materiales y argumentos históricos. El autor del Chronicon Iriense fue más lejos incluso, desarrollando una pequeña crónica que quiere promocionar la legitimidad y un rango paralelo al de Roma y superior al de Toledo. Las leyendas troyanas, la conversión y primeras actuaciones de los reyes suevos y los míticos viajes del presbítero Zanelo fueron usados para dar forma a una historia de legitimidad y grandeza de Santiago.

Para tal, trabalhou-se com a categoria Juventude, problematizada por meio da noção de trajetórias acadêmicas. Do ponto de vista metodológico, empregou-se, nesta investigação, uma pesquisa de campo desenvolvida por meio da abordagem qualitativa. Como instrumentos de coleta de dados, foram feitas entrevistas semiestruturadas com os estudantes e egressos que se constituem público-alvo da pesquisa. Comparando as trajetórias dos jovens aqui apresentados percebe-se que eles têm em comum o fato de serem filhos de agricultores e terem superado os pais no que se refere ao grau de estudo. Todos são oriundos de escolas públicas e encontraram dificuldades no transcorrer de suas trajetórias escolares e durante o percurso acadêmico. Os resultados mostraram que uma das maiores dificuldades dos sujeitos da pesquisa durante as trajetórias na universidade foi acompanhar os conteúdos e se adaptarem às metodologias dos professores, tendo lacunas de aprendizagem dos conteúdos em decorrência de um ensino básico de pouca qualidade. Com base na análise dos dados obtidos nas entrevistas, concluiu-se que os jovens do campo que ingressam no ensino superior estão em constante mudança no modo de agir e de pensar, devido às variadas experiências que acontecem no espaço acadêmico.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Circulating cell-free microRNAs (cfmiRNA) are an emerging class of biomarkers that have shown great promise in the clinical diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of several pathological conditions, including cancer. However, validation and clinical implementation of cfmiRNA biomarkers has been hindered by the variability introduced during different or suboptimal specimen collection and handling practices. To address the need for standardization and evidence-based guidance, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) developed a new Biospecimen Evidenced-Based Practices (BEBP) document, entitled “Cell-free miRNA (cfmiRNA): Blood Collection and Processing”. The BEBP, the fourth in the document series, contains step-by-step procedural guidelines on blood collection, processing, storage, extraction, and quality assessment that are tailored specifically for cfmiRNA analysis of plasma and serum. The workflow outlined in the BEBP is based on the available literature and recommendations of an expert panel. The BEBP contains the level of detail required for development of evidence-based standard operating procedures (SOPs) as well as the flexibility needed to accomodate (i) discovery- and inquiry-based studies and (ii) the different constraints faced by research labs, industry, clinical and academic institutions to foster widespread implementation. Guidance from the expert panel also included recommendations on study design, validating changes in workflow, and suggested quality thresholds to delineate meaningful changes in cfmiRNA levels. The NCI cfmiRNA: Blood Collection and Processing BEBP is available here as supplementary information as well as through the NCI Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research Branch (BBRB) (https://biospecimens.cancer.gov/resources/bebp.asp).

Flexural behavior of carbon/glass inter-ply hybrid FRP composites under elevated temperature environments
Authors: Dasari Srinivasu , Yadav Pankaj , Prusty Rajesh Kumar , Ray Bankim Chandra 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
In this research work, the three-point flexural performance of carbon and/or glass inter-ply hybrid epoxy composite by altering the hybrid ratio and stacking position was studied. These materials were tested at various temperatures (30 °C, 50 °C, 70 °C and 110 °C). The test results of hybrid composites results were compared with neat glass/epoxy and carbon/epoxy composites. The stacking position of carbon fibers in hybrid composite plays a vital role while doing a flexural test. Incorporation of two stiffer carbon fibers in glass/epoxy composite i.e., C2G3 and C1G3C1, resulted in a remarkable increment in the case of flexural strength. All composites exhibited ductile behavior at 110 °C. The fractured surfaces revealed the failure mechanism of the composites.
Extracapsular extension of pN2 lymph node metastases is not prognostically significant in surgically resected patients with non-small cell lung cancer
Authors: Müller Christin , Taber Samantha , Pfannschmidt Joachim , Griff Sergej 
Published: May 2023

Abstract

Objectives
In patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) the pathologic lymph node status N2 is a heterogeneous entity, with different degrees of lymph node involvement representing different prognoses. It is speculated whether extra capsular nodal extension may help to define a subgroup with implications on long-term survival.

Methods
We retrospectively identified 118 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (65 men, 53 women), who were treated between 2013 and 2018 and found to have pathologic N2 lymph node involvement. In all patients lung resection with systematic mediastinal and hilar lymph node dissection was performed with curative intent. In N2 lymph node metastases capsules of affected lymph nodes were examined microscopically as to whether extracapsular extension was present.

Results
51 patients (43 %) had extracapsular extension (ENE). Most of these patients (n=35) only had ENE in a single lymph node (69 %). The overall 5-year survival rate was 24.6 % and progression-free survival rate 17.8 %. In the multivariate analysis OS was worse for patients with multiple affected pN2 stations, concurrent N1 metastases, increasing age, and larger tumor size. For the percentage of lymph nodes affected with ENE (of total examined) only a non-significant trend towards worse OS could be observed (p=0.06).

Conclusions
Although we could not demonstrate significant prognostic differences between N2 extra capsular nodal involvement within our patient population, other analyses may yield different results. However, clinicians should continue performing thorough lymph nodes dissections in order to achieve local complete resection even in patients with extra capsular tumor spread

Through a Monte-Carlo simulation study, we have illustrated the effect of the estimation of the starting parameters of the considered waiting system on the statistical properties of its performance measures estimates, when these latter are obtained using the plug-in method. In addition, several types of convergence (bias, variance, MSE, in law)
of these performance measure estimators have also been showed by simulation.
Numerical thermo-mechanical analysis of a railway train wheel
Authors: Bulut Mehmet , Karagöz Nail , İbrahim Acar Halil , Duman Netice 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
In this paper, the variation of thermal stresses, strains and deformations created by combined thermal and mechanical loads is investigated in block braked railway wheels. Thermo-mechanical analyses of the railway wheel were performed by using finite element (FE) for the numerical analysis. Before performing FE analyses, input parameters, e.g. heat flow, heat conduction, heat convection, applied loads and boundary conditions were transferred from railway wheel conditions in reality. The thermal analysis of wheel structure in the analysis calculation was evaluated experimentally, and validated with numerical result used in current model. In this purpose, ANSYS Workbench module package was used to simulate the distribution of stress and temperature field over the wheel. Combined thermal and mechanically induced damage surfaces of the railway wheel in reality were compared with numerical results in ANSYS. It was concluded from the results that 3D simulations in this wheel model showed a significant effect of thermal loading rather than mechanical loading on wheel braking tread, and combination of thermal and mechanical loading caused the detrimental effect on railway wheel structures those used in this model.

Abstract
All-inorganic lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have been widely investigated as highly promising optical gain materials due to their compelling electrical and optical properties. Although many efforts have been carried out, a deep understanding of perovskite NC vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) is elusive, which is very important in the development of photoelectronic integrated circuits. Along these lines, in this work, a low lasing threshold (22 μJ/cm2) single-mode VCSEL consisting of CsPbBr3 NCs film and two distributed Bragg reflectors was successfully constructed. The CsPbBr3 NCs were synthesized by using the supersaturated recrystallization method. Interestingly, benefiting from the strong coupling between the active layer and the optical field in the cavity, a single-mode lasing at 527 nm was demonstrated under femtosecond optical pumping. The carrier dynamics of the perovskite NC VCSEL was also thoroughly investigated by performing pump intensity-dependent time-resolved photoluminescence measurements. The typical gain-switching phenomenon was observed with an ultrafast decay of the laser pulse of ∼10 ps. Our work provides valuable insights for the implementation of the CsPbBr3 NC VCSEL for various optoelectronic applications.

Authors: Inusah Abdul-Wahab , Collins Gbeti , Kwarteng Peter Gyamfi , Dzomeku Peter , Asumah Mubarick Nungbaso , Ziblim Shamsu-Deen 
Published: May 2023

Abstract

Objectives
This research aimed to determine the prevalence of diaper need and diaper dermatitis (DD) and associated risk factors in children aged 1–24 months.

Methods
Data were collected through face-to-face exit interviews with 456 mothers at a Child Welfare Clinic. A chi-square, correlation, and multivariate logistic regression analyses at a significance level of p < 0.05 were conducted.

Results
The prevalence of diaper need was found to be 53.5%, with lower odds observed in households with monthly incomes greater than $167 and in children on breastmilk only. Diaper need was higher in parents with no formal education and use of disposable diapers. The prevalence of DD was 27.4%, with lower odds observed in households with monthly incomes greater than $167 and in children less than 6 months old and on breastmilk only. There was a moderately positive correlation between diaper need and DD.

Conclusion
The researchers recommend affordable alternative diapering methods and educating parents on the importance of frequent diaper changes to improve the prevalence of diaper need and DD. Overall, this study highlights the significant prevalence of diaper need and DD among children and identifies the important associated risk factors.
Post-Brexit: Do board interlocks make banks take similar relocation decisions?
Authors: Panitz Robert , Glückler Johannes 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Because Brexit has implied a surge of relocation decisions by financial service firms during a short period of time, we examine the locational decisions of the financial industry in Europe. Adopting a relational perspective we analyze the association between similar relocation decisions of UK-based banks and the connectivity of their decision boards. Based on an analysis of relocation announcements in the media, press releases, and annual reports, as well as of interlocking directorships within the financial sector, our study connects research streams on relocation and internationalization with cross-board memberships and interlocks. Our findings suggest that the higher the competition between two banks and the stronger the connectivity in interlocking board memberships between them, the more likely are these banks to announce different relocation decisions. We interpret these robust findings as a behavior that effectively reduces competition for limited localized resources.
