description: Breast carcinoma, one of the most frequent malignancies in women, is a complex disease in which a
number of different factors combine to drive pathogenesis.
The biopathological characterization of these tumors is essential to determine their aggressiveness
and to find the most appropriate therapy.
As in others neoplasms, the deregulation of signal transduction pathways is frequently responsible
for conferring selective biological advantages to the tumor.
Phosphoinositides play an essential role in diverse cellular functions, their metabolism is highly
active, and is tightly controlled. Among the enzymes implicated in this pathway, phospholipase C
beta 1 (PLCβ1) is one of the key regulators, both at the cytoplasmic and the nuclear level.
The PLCβ1 gene maps onto the short arm of chromosome 20, a region that has been shown to be
altered in several solid tumors, including breast cancer.
In the present study a FISH approach was used to investigate the genetic alterations of the PLCβ1
gene in various classes of breast cancer which differ in their invasiveness and proliferation status,
according to their mitotic index. The overall aim was to find out whether this enzyme could be a
suitable prognostic marker for this neoplasm.
Our results show that 83% of cases had aneusomies at the 20p12 level, and the most frequent
alteration is a gain in this specific locus. Indeed, we found that this amplification is not related to
the invasion status since there were no differences in amplified tumor frequencies between in situ
and invasive breast cancer. On the contrary, the gain of PLCβ1 was significantly related to the
mitotic index (p = 0.001).
To verify if the change in genetic dosage influences the expression of PLCβ1 we performed Real
Time PCR and Immunohystochemical analysis. Our results confirmed that amplified tumors have
higher levels of PLCβ1 mRNA, which is the sum of the two splicing isoforms 1a and 1b.
On the other hand, even if protein levels were higher in the majority of cases compared to the nontumoral
specimens, there were no significant associations between gain and overexpression.
Finally, the significant association between the amplification of PLCβ1 and others important
clinicopathological parameters, such as grading and hormonal receptors status, confirmed a
correlation of this enzyme with the aggressiveness of breast cancer. This suggests that PLCβ1 has
the potential to be a prognostic marker in these tumors. However, further work needs to be carried
out to validate these preliminary findings.

description: The X-ray emission of neutron stars enables a probe of their temperatures, geometries, and magnetospheric properties. The current number of X-ray emitting pulsars is insufficient to rule out observational biases that may arise from poorly known distance, age, or location of the neutron stars. One approach to overcome such biases is to create a distance-limited sample with sufficiently deep observations. With the aim of better sampling of the nearby ($\lesssim$ 2kpc) neutron stars population, we started an XMM-Newton survey of pulsars to measure their X-ray fluxes or derive respective constraining upper limits. We investigated 14 nearby pulsars for potential X-ray counterparts using different energy bands and detectors. In addition to our new XMM-Newton data, we also considered archival data and catalogs. We discuss source properties and also check for alternative counterparts to the X-ray sources. In our new XMM-Newton data, we found two pulsar counterpart candidates with significance above over $4σ$ and one candidate with $3.5σ$ by combining EPIC camera detection likelihoods. We also report the detection of potential X-ray counterparts to 8 radio pulsars in the 4XMM-DR10 catalog which have not been reported in the literature.

description: Flavor symmetry ($T^{'} \times Z_2$) where $T^{'}$ is the binary tetrahedral group predicts for neutrino mixing angles $θ_{13} = \sqrt{2} (\fracπ{4} - θ_{23})$ and, with one phenomenological input, provides upper and lower bounds on both $θ_{13}$ and $θ_{23}$. The predictions arise from the deviation of the Cabibbo angle $Θ_{12}$ from its lowest-order value $\tan 2Θ_{12} = (\sqrt{2})/3$ and from the $T^{'}$ mechanism which relates mixing of $(ν_τ, ν_μ, ν_e)$ neutrinos to mixing of $(s, d)$ quarks.

description: We present resolved HI synthesis maps from the Very Large Array (VLA) of three interacting dwarf systems: the NGC 3664 dwarf pair, the NGC 3264 dwarf pair, and the UGC 4638 dwarf triplet. All three dwarf systems are captured at various stages of interaction and span a range of environments. We detect clear hallmarks of tidal interactions through the presence of HI bridges, and diffuse HI extensions that surround the dwarfs. We overlay the HI data on Pan-STARRS r-band images and find further evidence of tidal interactions through coincident distorted HI and tidal stellar features in NGC 3264 and UGC 4638, and an unwound spiral arm pointing towards its smaller companion in NGC 3264. In UGC 4638, both the gas and diffuse stars are extended to similar radii east of the primary, which could indicate that the smaller dwarf in the system has already completed one pass through the primary. We additionally find that our three systems, and those from the Local Volume TiNy Titans survey, are not HI deficient and thus the interaction has not resulted in a loss of gas from the systems. A comparison with non-interacting dwarf galaxies shows that the interactions have a significant impact on the kinematics of the systems. Our new resolved HI kinematics, combined with detailed stellar and HI morphologies, provide crucial constraints for future dynamical modelling of hierarchical mergers and the baryon cycle at the low-mass scale.

description: Abstract

Introduction: Intravenous Regional Anesthesia (IVRA) is a concise, stable, and effective treatment with a fast onset of action and speedy recovery after tourniquet release. Although lignocaine is a popular local anesthetic agent, it has the restriction of having a limited duration of anesthesia and being unable to offer postoperative analgesia; hence, other additives were added to it. This randomized control study was conducted to evaluate and compare the quality of anesthesia with Magnesium sulphate and Nitroglycerine as adjuvants to Lignocaine in intravenous regional anesthesia. Materials and methods: This study included upper arm surgery patients, a pneumatic tourniquet was wrapped around the arm to isolate the proximal vascular system.  Totally, 60 patients, belonging to ASA 1and 2 grades posted for elective surgery of upper arm were selected and divided randomly into two groups. Patients in LM group received 10ml of 15% Magnesium sulphate with 3mg/kg 2% Lignocaine diluted up to 40ml with saline and LN group received 200mcg of Nitroglycerine with 3mg/kg 2%Lignocaine diluted up to 40ml with saline. Sensory and motor block onset time, tourniquet pain, intraoperative haemodynamics, sensory and motor recovery time and time for first rescue analgesia were noted and evaluated. Results: The onset time for sensory blockade was shorter in Magnesium group compared to Nitroglycerine, however onset for motor blockade was shorter in Nitroglycerine group. The intraoperative VAS score was significantly low in both the groups and no changes in haemodynamic variables observed between two groups. Sensory and motor recovery was prolonged in Magnesium group. The time for rescue analgesia was prolonged in Magnesium group. Conclusion: The addition of Magnesium sulphate to lignocaine in IVRA produce faster onset of anesthesia and prolonged post-operative anesthesia compared to Nitroglycerine with  no serious side effects.

We also present a symmetry argument on the existence of these quantities and their dependencies on the phase difference across the junction. A physical picture is also given in terms of the Andreev states near the junction.

description: It was shown in the early Seventies that, in Local Quantum Theory (that is the most general formulation of Quantum Field Theory, if we leave out only the unknown scenario of Quantum Gravity) the notion of Statistics can be grounded solely on the local observable quantities (without assuming neither the commutation relations nor even the existence of unobservable charged field operators); one finds that only the well known (para)statistics of Bose/Fermi type are allowed by the key principle of local commutativity of observables. In this frame it was possible to formulate and prove the Spin and Statistics Theorem purely on the basis of First Principles. In a subsequent stage it has been possible to prove the existence of a unique, canonical algebra of local field operators obeying ordinary Bose/Fermi commutation relations at spacelike separations. In this general guise the Spin - Statistics Theorem applies to Theories (on the four dimensional Minkowski space) where only massive particles with finite mass degeneracy can occur. Here we describe the underlying simple basic ideas, and briefly mention the subsequent generalisations; eventually we comment on the possible validity of the Spin - Statistics Theorem in presence of massless particles, or of violations of locality as expected in Quantum Gravity.

description: Abstract

Introduction: Chronic stress significantly impacts physiological and neurological health, causing hormonal imbalances and potentially contributing to neurodegenerative conditions. This study investigates the effects of Moringa oleifera (MO) leaves, recognized for their anti-diabetic and neuroprotective properties, on stress-induced cognitive and behavioral changes in an animal model. Materials and Methods: Rats were divided into five groups: control, stressed, positive control (standard treatment), Moringa-treated healthy rats (MTHR), and Moringa-treated stressed rats (MTSR). Over a 3-week treatment period, behavioral assessments and neurochemical analyses were conducted. Statistical analysis was performed to determine significance. Results: Stress altered acetylcholine (Ach) levels in the brain, indicating cholinergic dysfunction in stress-related behaviors. MO leaf extract supplementation normalized oxidative stress markers and Ach levels in both stressed and healthy rats. This normalization was associated with reduced anxiety and depression in MTSR and improved memory function. Chronic stress significantly increased anxiety, depression, and memory impairment in rats, accompanied by elevated malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and reduced activities of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione). Conclusion: These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of MO leaves in mitigating stress-induced behavioral and neurochemical disruptions. By modulating acetylcholine levels, reducing oxidative stress, and enhancing memory function, MO supplementation shows promise for alleviating stress-related symptoms and preventing associated health complications. Further research in human trials is necessary to refine these insights and optimize clinical applications.

description: We present here the first-principles dynamical CPA (coherent potential approximation) combined with the tight-binding LMTO LDA+U method towards quantitative calculations of the electronic structure and magnetism at finite temperatures in transition metals and compounds. The theory takes into account the single-site dynamical charge and spin fluctuations using the functional integral technique as well as an effective medium. Numerical results for Fe, Co, and Ni show that the theory explains quantitatively the high-temperature properties such as the effective Bohr magneton numbers and the excitation spectra in the paramagnetic state, and describes the Curie temperatures semiquantitatively.

description: Excerpts from the report: A fighting war calls for the best effort of all men, women, and young people. World War II is no exception. The next year will see 5 to 10 millions of our men in the armed forces. More millions of men and women will be engaged in backing up the fighting men with munitions and supplies, right down to the little girl who holds yarn while her mother winds it, or the boy who fills the wood box that fuels the stove that feeds the men who grow the crops that feed the United Nations. War has always taken men from farms. Today, the tank and plane assembly lines are adding to this draft of farm manpower. The constantly increasing needs for men in the armed forces and the war industries make it difficult, in some cases impossible, for farmers to get as much hired help as they want. And these difficulties are arising at a time when record production of farm products is needed. This publication is concerned with the labor problems of the farm itself and of the farm family. The Nation has a big job which must be done with the least possible waste effort. Idle time on the farms and elsewhere must be reduced. How can it best be done? Here are a few suggestions gathered from every section of the country. They may make you think of other ways to save time on the farm, to save our heels by better use of our heads, or to use the family to back up the fighting line.
Magnetized Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton model under external electric fields

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We employ an analytic solution of a magnetized Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity system whose parameters have been determined so that its holographic dual has the most similarity to a confining QCD-like theory influenced by a background magnetic field. Analyzing the total potential of a quark-antiquark pair in an external electric field, we are able to investigate the effect of the electric field on the different phases of the background which are the thermal AdS and the black hole phases. This is helpful for better understanding the confining character and also the phase transitions of the system. We find out that the field theory dual to the black hole solution is always deconfined. However, although the thermal AdS phase describes the confining phase in general, for the quark pairs parallel to $B$ (longitudinal case) and $B>B_{\mathrm{critical}}$ the response of the system to the electric field mimics the deconfinement. We moreover consider the effect of the magnetic field and the chemical potential on the Schwinger effect. We observe that when we are in the black hole phase with sufficiently small values of $μ$ or in the thermal AdS phase, and for both longitudinal and transverse cases, the magnetic field increase leads to the enhancement of the Schwinger effect, which can be termed as the inverse magnetic catalysis. This is deduced both from the decrease of the critical electric fields and from the decreasing the height and width of the total potential barrier that the quarks are facing with. However, by increasing $μ$ to high enough values, the inverse magnetic catalysis turns into magnetic catalysis, as can also be observed from the diagram of the Hawking-Page phase transition temperature versus $B$ for the background geometry itself.

description: Abstract

Due to the existence of the "digital paradox", the mechanism and results of enterprise Digital transformation have been a hot topic of discussion among scholars in recent years. This article is based on the background of the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta in China, with high-tech enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta as the research object, and collects sample data on Digital transformation and performance development of 375 enterprises. Based on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), path relationships were constructed. The research results indicate that Digital transformation of enterprises has a significant positive impact on Enterprise performance through the comprehensive effects of value chain digitization, business process digitization, product and service digitization, and digital technology application. Meanwhile, Digital transformation of enterprises also has a significant positive impact on business model innovation, green innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit. Among them, green innovation and entrepreneurial spirit have a significant positive impact on Enterprise performance, while business model innovation has no significant impact on Enterprise performance. Further exploration can lead to the conclusion that green innovation and entrepreneurial spirit have a significant mediating effect between Digital transformation and Enterprise performance, while business model innovation has no mediating effect.
Active compounds in biomimetic membranes - translating external trigger signals into mechanical responses of a lipid matrix
Creators: name: Shen, Chen
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2017

description: The most essential compounds in biomembranes are lipoids and proteins. Herein, the proteins are usually considered to be the key players by actively carrying out the essential functions in a living active membrane. As a general feature, active compounds exhibit conformational changes in the host membrane upon external signals such as light absorption. For this project, two potential active
 compounds in membranes were chosen. These are an artificially designed lipoid, azobenzene-cholesterol (azo-chol), and a natural protein complex, namely Photosystem-1 (PS-1). Their potential role as a membrane activator was studied in model systems. The isomerization of azo-chol in a host membrane upon illumination was tracked by use of UV-VIS spectroscopy. The responses of the model membranes were characterized by use of neutron spectroscopy, grazing incidence X-ray diffraction, neutron and X-ray reflectometry, and Langmuir compression. The PS-1 compound was probed in a buffer solution. Its dynamics is associated with light-induced action and was investigated by use of neutron spectroscopy. The results show the capability of both candidates to translate light illuminations into modifications of the neighouring matrix. First results are presented and discussed in view of the hypothesis that local disturbances do propagate into the membrane matrix.

description: Global warming imposes significant physical, regulatory and reputational risks to listed corporations. Consequently, climate-related issues have recently received increased attention from investors, creditors and stock market regulators. In February 2010, The United States (US) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an interpretative guidance requiring publicly listed firms to disclose material climate change risks (CCR) in their annual securities filings (10Ks). However, considering the level of enforcement and managerial discretion in the definition of materiality, market participants raised concerns about the lack and quality of CCR disclosure. This research explores the effects of family control as an important determinant of CCR disclosure strategies. Family firms are the world’s most common form of economic organizations, dominating the global economy. The socioemotional wealth (SEW) theoretical perspective argues that family firms behave differently from their nonfamily counterparts and exhibit significant heterogeneity depending on the level of family control and involvement. Using a sample of S&P 500 companies, I examine whether family firms differ from their non-family peers in their climate change disclosure strategies. Additionally, I further explore the effects of two dimensions (i.e. family control and influence, family identity) of socioemotional wealth on CCR disclosures. Overall, I find that family ownership has no impact on CCR disclosure decisions, but is negatively related to CCR disclosure quality. Moreover, I find a positive relationship between family firms prioritizing family identity and CCR disclosure quality. The findings of this research have implications for regulators, investors, and academic researchers.

description: Abstract

The legal philosophy used in juvenile criminal decisions must be based on transcendental values for the sake of justice based on belief in one and only God, guided by the principles of the best interest for the children. Type of the study is a normative-legal research by using philosophical, theoretical, and conceptual approach. It was conducted in the Provinces of Bali and West Papua, Indonesia. This paper provides information on the latest trend in research. The results show that the concept of legal discovery by judges in providing additional punishment in the form of fulfilling customary obligations towards children should consider aspects of moral justice and social justice by exploring the legal values that live in society (the living law). Judges have mixed and matched theological and sociological aspects by paying attention to legal values and a sense of justice in their decisions, in these circumstances the Judge has studied things that are meta- juridical in nature, namely the values behind statutory rules with the method of interpreting legal hermeneutics. Legal considerations by judges in the decision also pay attention to the sense of priority of justice enforcers.

description: Although radio observations have been historically seen as less valuable than optical observations, today's broadband radio spectra of peaked spectrum sources reveal detailed physics from within the inner region of the galaxy, on spatial scales beyond what an optical telescope can resolve. Peaked radio spectra are thought to be evolving into large scale radio galaxies, although an over-abundance of the most compact sources reveals that a significant fraction are confined within their host galaxies. Furthermore, at the lowest luminosities, these sources are largely unknown, and may reveal the small scale precursors of FR-I galaxies. Here I summarise the previous work exploring the properties of low luminosity peaked radio sources, and the future work that extends on this within even deeper radio observations of well studied fields.

Equivalently, any number which is both a Giuga and a Carmichael number must have at least 19,908 decimal digits. This bound has not been achieved through exhaustive testing of all numbers with up to 19,908 decimal digits, but rather through exploitation of the properties of Giuga and Carmichael numbers. This bound improves upon the 1996 bound of one of the authors. We present the algorithm used, and our improved bound. We also discuss the changes over the intervening years as well as thechallenges to further computation.

description: In organic solar cells, photogenerated singlet excitons form charge transfer (CT) complexes, which subsequently split into free charge carriers. Here, we consider the contributions of excess energy and molecular quadrupole moments to the charge separation process. We investigate charge photogeneration in two separate bulk heterojunction systems consisting of the polymer donor PTB7-Th and two non-fullerene acceptors, ITIC and h-ITIC. CT state dissociation in these donor-acceptor systems is monitored by charge density decay dynamics obtained from transient absorption experiments. We study the electric field dependence of charge carrier generation at different excitation energies by time delayed collection field (TDCF) and sensitive steady-state photocurrent measurements. Upon excitation below the optical gap free charge carrier generation becomes less field dependent with increasing photon energy, which challenges the view of charge photogeneration proceeding through energetically lowest CT states. We determine the average distance between electron-hole pairs at the donor-acceptor interface from empirical fits to the TDCF data. The delocalisation of CT states is larger in PTB7-Th:ITIC, the system with larger molecular quadrupole moment, indicating the sizeable effect of the electrostatic potential at the donor-acceptor interface on the dissociation of CT complexes.

description: Abstract

The prevalence of chronic diseases in Jambi City has tended to increase in the last three years, especially hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Chronic diseases that are high risk, high volume and high cost have an impact on the household economy of sufferers who tend to incur health costs that exceed the family's financial capacity (catastrophic). The existence of the Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis) from BPJS Health should contribute to reducing the number of chronic diseases, reducing the burden of disease and improving the social relations of chronic disease sufferers, however the coverage of Prolanis activity is still low and several responses from community experience indicate there are problems with the acceptability of the program. This research aims to measure the level of community acceptability of health interventions and social relations in the Prolanis practice as assessed by analyzing affective attitudes, burden, ethics, intervention coherence, costs, perceived effectiveness and self-confidence of chronic disease sufferers in Jambi City in 2023. The research was conducted with Quantitative research methods use a cross-sectional design. Respondents were selected based on a purposive sampling technique totaling 180 respondents spread across five Puskesmas work areas in Jambi City. The research instrument is a questionnaire. The research results show that the indicators of burden, ethics and effectiveness are the most dominant factors in influencing the acceptability of Prolanis participants. As a recommendation, it is suggested to the government and BPJS Health to increase public understanding of the importance of using Prolanis in an effort to reduce the number of chronic diseases in Jambi City.

description: We construct cosmological spacetimes with null Kasner-like singularities as purely gravitational solutions with no other background fields turned on. These can be recast as anisotropic plane-wave spacetimes by coordinate transformations. We analyse string quantization to find the spectrum of string modes in these backgrounds. The classical string modes can be solved for exactly in these time-dependent backgrounds, which enables a detailed study of the near singularity string spectrum, (time-dependent) oscillator masses and wavefunctions. We find that for low lying string modes(finite oscillation number), the classical near-singularity string mode functions are non-divergent for various families of singularities. Furthermore, for any infinitesimal regularization of the vicinity of the singularity, we find a tower of string modes of ultra-high oscillation number which propagate essentially freely in the background. The resulting picture suggests that string interactions are non-negligible near the singularity.

description: The Gaia space mission is a major project for the European astronomical community. As challenging as it is, the processing and analysis of the huge data-flow incoming from Gaia is the subject of thorough study and preparatory work by the DPAC (Data Processing and Analysis Consortium), in charge of all aspects of the Gaia data reduction. This PhD Thesis was carried out in the framework of the DPAC, within the team based in Bologna. The task of the Bologna team is to define the calibration model and to build a grid of spectro-photometric standard stars (SPSS) suitable for the absolute flux calibration of the Gaia G-band photometry and the BP/RP spectrophotometry. Such a flux calibration can be performed by repeatedly observing each SPSS during the life-time of the Gaia mission and by comparing the observed Gaia spectra to the spectra obtained by our ground-based observations. Due to both the different observing sites involved and the huge amount of frames expected (≃100000), it is essential to maintain the maximum homogeneity in data quality, acquisition and treatment, and a particular care has to be used to test the capabilities of each telescope/instrument combination (through the “instrument familiarization plan”), to devise methods to keep under control, and eventually to correct for, the typical instrumental effects that can affect the high precision required for the Gaia SPSS grid (a few % with respect to Vega). I contributed to the ground-based survey of Gaia SPSS in many respects: with the observations, the instrument familiarization plan, the data reduction and analysis activities (both photometry and spectroscopy), and to the maintenance of the data archives. However, the field I was personally responsible for was photometry and in particular relative photometry for the production of short-term light curves. In this context I defined and tested a semi-automated pipeline which allows for the pre-reduction of imaging SPSS data and the production of aperture photometry catalogues ready to be used for further analysis. A series of semi-automated quality control criteria are included in the pipeline at various levels, from pre-reduction, to aperture photometry, to light curves production and analysis.
ECONOMY-WIDE ESTIMATES OF THE IMPLICATIONS OF INDC POLICIES FOR ETHIOPIA (A RECURSIVE DYNAMIC CGE MICRO-DATA ANALYSIS)

description: Economic and Environmental Effects of INDC Policies for Ethiopia (A Recursive Dynamic CGE Analysis) Mitigation of climate change has become unavoidable discussion item in policy making agendas in both developed and developing counties. Having understood the important role played by developing nations in fighting against climate change, Ethiopia submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) to the UNFCCC secretariat with an emission reduction goal of 64% in 2030 compared to the BAU scenario. The main objective of this study is to analyse the economic and environmental effects of the implementation of Ethiopia?s INDC policy in the form of carbon tax. In doing so, a recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model is employed and is calibrated on the updated 2009/10 SAM of Ethiopia with the corresponding emission data of the same year. Four simulation scenarios have been introduced. In the first simulation, carbon tax revenue has been allocated entirely for government consumption, whereas in the second simulation, the carbon tax revenue has been equally divided between government consumption and households in form of lump sum transfer. In the third and fourth simulations, productivity gains from government expenditure allocated to health and education sectors are combined with the respective first two simulations. The results of simulation experiments on selected macroeconomic variables indicate that, in real terms, GDP, national absorption and household consumption are found to be adversely affected relative to the baseline scenario, the impact being considerably high in the first simulation. The simulations with productivity gains, in relative sense, have improved the negative effects of the carbon tax abatement policy on the economic variables. The implication of this is that policies that increase productivity of government expenditure have better spillover effects on GDP than those of household consumption. Finally, to achieve the emission reduction target set out in the INDC policy of Ethiopia with reasonable cost to the economy, the country has to invest in clean technologies that are meant to improve emission efficiency as most of the emissions emanate from activities in the agricultural sector, and for this end, huge international support is required.
