The circadian clock is an ascribed regulator found in the cells of creatures, that keeps biological and behavioral processes in sync with daily environmental changes throughout two 24-hour cycles. When the circadian clock in humans malfunctions or is misaligned with environmental signals, the timing of the sleep-wake cycle is altered and several circadian rhythm sleep disorders result. Due to the Earth's rotation on its axis, predictable environmental changes are anticipated by complex processes. The combined term for these systems is the circadian clock. The circadian rhythm regulates photosynthesis, photoperiodism, and photoperiodism, making it the "primary controller of plant life." The circadian clock is made up of post-translational alterations to core oscillators, epigenetic tweaks to DNA and histones, and autoregulatory feedback loops in transcription. In addition, the circadian clock is cell-autonomous and regulates the circadian rhythms of distinct organs. Biochemical elements such as photosynthetic products, mineral nutrients, calcium ions, and hormones are used by the core oscillators to communicate with one another. Arabidopsis is utilized to identify clock-related genes that govern plant growth, germination, pollination, flowering, abiotic and biotic stress responses, and more. The biological cycles of all species, notably humans, are undoubtedly impacted by other elements, including high altitude and changing ecosystems, in addition to the ones already stated. Although it hasn't yet published any experimental or scientific evidence to support them, the implication that living things have lives does appear inescapable. Hence, the present study elaborates on the higher plants related to the circadian clock.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of reducing seepage under a hydraulic structure. This article aims to find positional equations for the control devices that reduce the seepage under the hydraulic structure. Using lengths and angles of sheet-piles under the hydraulic structure where the sheet-pile was placed up- and downstream, respectively, upon the hydraulic structure with anisotropy soil hypothetically affects both uplift pressure and seepage values. The experiments were conducted in two cases: in the first case, a couple of sheet-piles were oriented to the upstream passage; while in the second case, they were oriented to the downstream. Then, the second case was compared with three sheet-piles placed upstream, downstream, and intermediate to the passage. For each experiment (at the hydraulic toe position), the major affecting parameters such as the uplift pressure, gradient exit, and outlet flow rate were found. A correlation equation to correlate the exit gradient and discharge parameters was developed.

Abstract
Integrated water vapor (IWV) has been widely perceived through machine learning (ML) strategies. During this investigation, we employed IWV time series from weather stations to determine the oscillations and patterns with IWV across two latitudes namely VBIT, Hyderabad (India) and PWVUO station, Oregon (US). The GPS derived IWV and meteorological data such as pressure (P), temperature (T) and relative humidity (RH) dataset for the year 2014 has been taken from VBIT station and from PWVUO station for 2020. Five machine learning algorithms namely Optimized Ensemble (OE) model, Rational Quadratic Gaussian Process Regression model (RQ-GPR), Neural Networks model (NN), Cubic Support Vector Machine (CSVM) and Quadratic Support Vector Machine (QSVM) algorithms are used. The GPS derived IWV data revealed the maximum variation during summer monsoon period specifically in the month of July. The correlation analysis between GPS-IWV and optimized ensemble technique showed the highest correlation for the VBIT station with correlation coefficient as (ρ) = 99 % and at PWVUO station as (ρ) = 88 % for two different datasets. The residual analysis has also showed less variation to the optimized ensemble model. The performance metrics obtained for OE at VBIT station are mean absolute error (MAE) as 0.64 kg/m2, mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) as 3.80 % and root mean squared error (RMSE) as 0.94 kg/m2 and at PWVUO station the values are MAE = 1.91 kg/m2, MAPE = 11.76 % and RMSE as 1.97 kg/m2, respectively. The results explained that the OE method has shown a better performance compared to the remaining models.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
In the era of big data, data information has exploded, and all walks of life are impacted by big data. The arrival of big data provides the possibility for the realization of intelligent financial analysis of enterprises. At present, most enterprises’ financial analysis and decision-making based on the analysis results are mainly based on human resources, with poor automation and obvious problems in efficiency and error. In order to help the senior management of enterprises to conduct scientific and effective management, the study uses big data web crawler technology and ETL technology to process data and build an intelligent financial decision support system integrating big data together with Internet plus platform. J Group in S Province is taken as an example to study the effect before and after the application of intelligent financial decision support system. The results show that the crawler technology can monitor the basic data and the big data in the industry in real time, and improve the accuracy of decision-making. Through the intelligent financial decision support system which integrates big data, the core indexes such as profit, net asset return, and accounts receivable of the enterprises can be clearly displayed. The system can query the causes of financial changes hidden behind the financial data. Through the intelligent financial decision support system, it is found that the asset liability ratio, current assets growth rate, operating income growth rate, and financial expenses of J Group are 55.27, 10.38, 20.28%, and 1,974 million RMB, respectively. The growth rate of real sales income of J Group is 0.63%, which is 31.27% less than the excellent value of the industry 31.90%. After adopting the intelligent financial decision support system, the monthly financial statements of the enterprises increase significantly, and the monthly report analysis time decreases. The maximum number of financial statements received by the Group per month is 332, and the processing time at this time is only 2 h. According to the results, it can be seen that the intelligent financial decision support system integrating big data as the research result can effectively improve the financial management level of enterprises, improve the usefulness of financial decision-making, and make practical contributions to the field of corporate financial decision-making.
Issues of informed consent for non-specialists conducting colorectal cancer screenings
Authors: Bohler Forrest , Garden Allison 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The United States is currently facing a physician shortage crisis including a lack of specialist providers. Due to this shortage of specialists, some primary care providers offer colorectal cancer screenings in communities with few gastroenterologists, especially in under-resourced areas such as rural regions of the United States. However, discrepancies in training and procedural outcomes raise concerns regarding informed consent for patients. Because osteopathic physicians play a critical role in addressing the physician shortage in these under-resourced communities, this commentary may be especially useful because they are likely to encounter these ethical complexities in their day-to-day practice.
Japanese national university faculty publication: A time trend analysis
Authors: Gallagher Nicole , Muller Theron 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The dominance of English in academic discourses is well established, with increased English publication used to evidence its increasing use at the expense of national language publication. However, while English publication frequency has increased over time, few studies have examined how university faculties outside higher education’s Anglophone center have changed their language of publication frequency. Thus, in this investigation, we analyzed a Japanese national university’s medical faculty’s overall frequency of publication along with publication frequency by language medium, expanding on an earlier diachronic analysis of university publication reports. We previously found English language publications largely replaced Japanese language publications for journal articles and that overall publication frequency dramatically increased. However, that initial diachronic analysis did not show when those changes manifested. The current investigation explores this through a decennial time trend historical document analysis of publication reports from 1979 to 2020. This analysis elucidates how publication frequency, type, and language medium have changed. Specifically, we find that the largest change in the overall frequency of publication is between 1989–1990 and 1999–2000. These changes are primarily driven by conference papers and other publications, publication types not typically examined in analyses of journal citation databases. Our findings establish a foundation to discuss potential causes of the trends we identify in this Japanese national university’s medical faculty’s publications.

Abstract

Objectives
To determine the ideal timing of labor for term pregnancies using oxidative stress determiners.

Methods
A total of 150 low-risk pregnant women were divided into three groups according to gestational week periods: early term, full term, and late-term. Groups were matched in terms of age and body mass index. Thiol/disulfide homeostasis parameters were obtained from maternal blood samples at the beginning of the active phase and from cord blood immediately after delivery.

Results
Maternal and fetal native and total thiol, which indicates antioxidant status, were found to be significantly higher in full terms (maternal 397.5 ± 78.8, 435.9 ± 84.5, and fetal 472.5 ± 78.4, 513.7 ± 89.2 respectively; for all parameters p<0.05). The maternal oxidant balance was not significantly different between the groups; 1st-minute APGAR scores were significantly correlated with maternal antioxidant levels (p=0.042; r=0.199).

Conclusions
The highest level of antioxidants in thiol/disulfide homeostasis in full-term pregnancies can be explained by the mechanism that increases the antioxidant level of the mother, which works best in the period between 39 and 41 weeks of pregnancy.

Published: September 2023

AbstractDELLA proteins are master regulators of gibberellic acid (GA) signaling through their effects on gene expression. Enhanced DELLA accumulation in rice and wheat varieties has greatly contributed to grain yield increases during the green revolution. However, the molecular basis of DELLA‐mediated gene repression remains elusive. In this work, we show that the rice DELLA protein SLENDER RICE1 (SLR1) forms a tripartite complex with Polycomb‐repressive complex 2 (PRC2) and the histone deacetylase HDA702 to repress downstream genes by establishing a silent chromatin state. The slr1 mutation and GA signaling resulted in dissociation of PRC2 and HDA702 from GA‐inducible genes. Loss‐of‐function or downregulation of the chromatin regulators impaired SLR1‐dependent histone modification and gene repression. Time‐resolved analysis of GA signaling revealed that GA‐induced transcriptional activation was associated with a rapid increase of H3K9ac followed by H3K27me3 removal. Collectively, these results establish a general epigenetic mechanism for DELLA‐mediated gene repression and reveal details of the chromatin dynamics during transcriptional activation stimulated by GA signaling.

Authors: Lestari Saffa Aulia , Munir Ahmad 
Published: September 2023

Speaking is a God-given human ability to communicate with one another using voices and language that other humans can recognize. The education team hopes that students will be able to employ and master speaking strategies as a result of teaching and learning activities both inside and outside the classroom using the Technology SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) Model. The study aims to determine whether there is a significant difference in student’s ability to speak English when using the SAMR Model compared to when using the Manual Model and also to learn about the experiences students have while learning to use the SAMR Model. This study conducts quasi-experimental research in order to collect significant improvement data on the use of the SAMR model to improve students' ability to speak procedure text. Taking the results of the pre-test and post-test scores on the type of presentation test and showing a high level of agreement between researchers and observers, the t-test and ANCOVA test showed a significant change in student learning outcomes, indicating that the SAMR Model follows the requested process and has an impact on student learning.

Published: September 2023

Objetivo: realizar una revisión sistemática sobre el efecto que tiene el ejercicio y la actividad física respecto a la calidad de vida en pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson.
Metodología: bajo los elementos de informe preferidos para revisiones sistemáticas y metaanálisis de la metodología PRISMA, se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica utilizando las bases de datos de Scopus, Springer, Oxford académico. Se establecieron criterios de inclusión donde los documentos fueron filtrados, clasificados y seleccionados según su relación con el objeto de estudio y criterios de exclusión bajo los criterios establecidos para la estrategia PICOS. La revisión no se registró a priori en ninguna base de datos y no se publicó un protocolo de revisión. Se incluyeron dieciséis estudios en la revisión.
Resultados: los datos evidencian que los factores que inciden en el efecto del ejercicio físico sobre la calidad de vida en pacientes con EP están relacionados a los bajos niveles de actividad física y la falta de ejercicio físico agudo. En cuanto a las intervenciones se resalta el ejercicio asesorado por fisioterapia, boxeo, taichí, aquaterapia y diferentes tipos de entrenamientos.
Conclusión: se determina que el efecto del ejercicio y la actividad física en los pacientes con EP está relacionado con el bienestar que experimenta cada persona en su calidad de vida. A su vez, se presume que intervenciones de ejercicio y actividad física dentro de las 6 y 12 semanas mejora síntomas motores, cognitivos, y alteraría la actividad cerebral en personas con EP. Esta revisión puede guiar estudios futuros que apunten a llenar los vacíos existentes con respecto a los efectos del ejercicio y actividad física respecto a la calidad de vida en pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson.
Humanismo: innatismo y construcción: Reflexiones sobre el debate entre Chomsky y Piaget
Authors: Morales Estrella David 
Published: September 2023

This article deals with the theories of Jean Piaget and Noam Chomsky, concerning the origins of language and knowledge, to formulate some ideas about how to reach a synthesis between both authors. The purpose is to raise an argument in favor of the need for a New Humanism, an ethical-philosophical and epistemological perspective promoted by the Ibn Khaldun, which has been the focus of interest and research by a group of academics from the Centre for General Studies at The National University of Costa Rica. Constructivism, genetic epistemology, and psychogenesis of knowledge are proposals by Piaget, and Chomsky’s are the generative grammar, innate structures and psycholinguistics. Both perspectives represent scientific revolutions that went against the notion of tabula rasa but are oftentimes considered apparently non reconcilable due to the contrast between the notions of innate structures and transformative structures. This is important for Humanism given the fact that understanding knowledge and language as biological competencies and the epistemic subject as the center of its progressive development is conducive to a better understanding of humanism in its biological sense, thus, to a deeper insight into our innate tendency towards self-emancipation, genetically conditioned and within a socially systemic process.
Experiencias de la Danza descentralizada
Authors: Rocha Godoy Vladimir 
Published: September 2023

This article develops a theoretical and historical analysis concerning the need to apply what Rudolf Von Laban proposed with respect to dance as a fundamental artistic expression for mankind and as a means for strengthening the expressive demands of dancers. The methodology employed consisted of bibliographic review combined with practical experiences as professor of Dramatic Art techniques at the National University of Costa Rica. In addition, a discussion on the contributions of Laban (1975) is developed; especially with respect to his notion in the teaching of dancing it has been introduced a new understanding of the elements of movement based upon modern research. The basic idea in the acquisition of the new dance, as in all forms of human physical activity, consists in a series of movements in which a certain effort is required and is specific to each of them; each action consist of a combination of effort elements which are derived from the attitudes and characteristics of each person towards a certain movement: Weight, Space, Time and Flow. Based upon the above, this work intends to examine with theoretical foundations the need to apply Laban´s proposals to strengthen the expressive competencies of the dance interpreter.
La Práctica Pedagógica de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación y su Relación con los Enfoques Constructivistas
Authors: Sáez López José Manuel 
Published: September 2023

El uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) en los contextos educativos mantiene una evolución lenta debido a la necesidad de adaptar los nuevos enfoques a las prácticas pedagógicas existentes, y a la gran dificultad, barreras y resistencias que presentan las tecnologías en su aplicación. Se considera, asimismo, importante vincular su uso hacia una metodología activa, en la que el alumno no sea un receptor pasivo, y aproveche las ventajas motivadoras, de interactividad y participación que brindan las tecnologías. En este sentido, el uso de las tecnologías en el aula debe ir acompañado de un giro en el enfoque metodológico, o por el contrario se pierde efectividad, eficiencia y eficacia, lo que sería perjudicial para las valoraciones posteriores relativas al uso pedagógico de las TIC. En definitiva, las actitudes y opiniones de los docentes respecto a los enfoques constructivistas, enfoque colaborativo y el uso de las TIC son muy positivas, con valores altísimos. En la práctica se reconocen algunas buenas prácticas, como potenciación de aprendizajes significativos, aprendizaje activo y autónomo, sin embargo, apenas se potencia la enseñanza mediante la búsqueda ni los métodos de proyectos. Es preocupante el hecho que se aprecia en las entrevistas de que gran parte de los docentes reconocen que no aplican las TIC en el aula. Se puede concluir brevemente que hay mucho que mejorar respecto al uso pedagógico de las TIC y las metodologías activas vinculadas a la construcción del aprendizaje. A pesar de estas evidencias, se reafirma un dato positivo relativo a las buenas valoraciones y actitudes que mantienen los docentes respecto al uso de las tecnologías y las buenas valoraciones relativas a la metodología constructivista.
