Differentially Expressed Circular RNAs in Stenosed Arteriovenous Fistula Tissues of Uremia Patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract BackgroundArteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the most common renal replacement therapy for uremic patients. However, stenosis in AVF may lead to AVF failure, hence prevention and effective management of AVF failure is an issue to be addressed. circular RNAs (circRNAs) dysregulation may be pivotal for the development and progression of AVF stenosis. MethodsFour stenosed tissues from AVF outflow veins and four normal venous tissues without vascular stenosis were collected for RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). The circRNAs expression profiles were identified by high-throughput sequencing, and the functions and pathways of differentially expressed (DE) circRNAs were annotated by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses. Seven DE circRNAs were screened for quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) validation. circRNA-miRNA interaction network was constructed. ResultsA total of 17,620 circRNA transcripts were examined by RNA-seq, and 208 DE circrRNAs were identified between AG and CG, of which 92 were upregulated and 116 were downregulated. The expression trend in the four selected circRNAs was validated by qRT-PCR, which was consistent with the RNA-seq results. Dysregulated circRNAs may be involved in stenosis by mediating focal adhesion kinase (FAK) pathway. Conclusion﻿Our study revealed abnormal circRNA expression in stenosed tissues of the AVF outflow vein, which was functionally classified. The results indicated that DE circRNAs in the stenosed tissues of AVF and their related FAK pathway have potential to be targets for the prevention and treatment of AVF failure.

MIGRACIJE I IZGNANSTVO U ROMANU „MALI PRINC IZ AFRIKE“ MILANA PETEKA LEVOKOVA

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The analysis of the children’s novel The Little Prince from Africa (2024) by Slovenian author Milan Petek Levokov shows, by using an empathy-ethical reading model, that various aspects of the characterization of the main characters, as well as the portrayal of their mutual relationships, are the key narrative strategies the author uses in order to help young readers understand the complexity of the identity construct and develop empathy towards children/people who face migration and exile in real life. Furthermore, for a more complete understanding of migration and exile, it is significant that the novel emphasizes the racial identity of the refugee boy, clearly stating that it concerns forced migration, as well as presenting the obstacles and injustice the refugee child faces in the host country.

Biocontrol Potential of Endophytic Streptomyces malaysiensis 8ZJF-21 From Medicinal Plant Against Banana Fusarium Wilt Caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Banana (Musa spp.) is an important fruit crop cultivated in most tropical countries. Banana Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4) is the most destructive fungal disease. Biocontrol using endophytic microorganisms is considered as a safety and sustainable strategy. Actinomycetes have a potential for the production of diverse metabolites. Isolation of endophytic actinomycetes with high efficiency and broad-spectrum antagonism is key for exploring biocontrol agents. Our previous study showed that a total of 144 endophytic actinomycetes were isolated from different tissues of medicinal plants in Hainan, China. Especially, strain 8ZJF-21 exhibited a broad-spectrum antifungal activity. Its morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics were consistent with the genus Streptomyces. The phylogenetic tree demonstrated that strain 8ZJF-21 formed a distinct clade with Streptomyces malaysiensis. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) was 98.49% above the threshold of novel species. The pot experiment revealed that endophytic Streptomyces malaysiensis 8ZJF-21 could improve the plant resistance to Foc TR4 by enhancing the expression levels of defense-related and antioxidant enzyme genes. It also promoted the plant growth by producing several extracellular enzymes and metabolites. Antifungal mechanism assays showed that S. malaysiensis 8ZJF-21 extract inhibited mycelial growth and spore germination of Foc TR4 in vitro. Pathogenic cells occurred cytoplasmic heterogeneity, disappeared organelles, and ruptured ultrastructure. Sequencing and annotation of genome suggested that S. malaysiensis 8ZJF-21 had a potential of producing novel metabolites. Nineteen volatile organic compounds were obtained from the extract by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Hence, endophytic Streptomyces strains will become essential biocontrol agents of modern agricultural practice.
Seismo-Stratigraphic Data of Wave-Cut Marine Terraces in the Licosa Promontory (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy)

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Some seismo-stratigraphic evidence on the occurrence of wave-cut marine terraces in the Licosa promontory (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) based on Sub-bottom Chirp seismic sections is herein presented. Such evidence is provided by marine terraced surfaces situated at various water depths below sea level and etched into the rocky acoustic basement, which are extensively extending in the seaward extension of the Licosa promontory. It is possible that the isotopic stratigraphy and the terraced marine surfaces are connected, so they can be attributed and dated indirectly. The geologic study of seismic profiles has pointed to the prominence of the acoustic basement, extending to the seabed close to the coast and subsiding seawards under the Quaternary marine succession. Ancient remains of marine terraces, found at a range of water depths between 5 m and 50 m, have documented the major morphological changes of the acoustic basement during the Late Quaternary.
Design a wing flange lever mechanism using Giza pyramid algorithm

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this work, a well-known mechanism that is referred to as piston lever mechanism is design to control the wing's flange. The design targets the mechanism components and their location while maintaining the minimum oil level required to lift the flanges from 0 to 45 degrees. The design is considered a multi-objective optimization problem; in which we propose the Giza Pyramid Algorithm (GPA) to optimize. GPA is a newly developed metaheuristic technique of type ancientinspired that was developed in 2021. The GPA shall obtain the best design while satisfying four constrains. The algorithm will be tested in Monte Carlo simulation to show its effectiveness in terms of stability and robustness. The performance is then compared to the particle swarm optimization. The proposed method shows a superior result compared to the PSO. Keywords: Giza pyramid, metaheuristic, optimization, design.
Real-time pricing strategy of micro-grid energy centre considering price-based demand response

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

With the development of energy conversion technology such as power to gas (P2G), fuel cell and so on, the coupling between energy sources becomes more and more closely. Centralized dispatch among electricity, natural gas and heat will become a trend. With the goal of maximizing the system revenue, this paper establishes the model of micro-grid energy centre based on energy hub. According to the proposed model, the real-time pricing strategy taking into account price-based demand response of load is developed. And the influence of real-time pricing strategy on the peak load shifting is discussed. In addition, the impact of wind power predicted inaccuracy on real-time pricing strategy is analysed.

Thermal human phantom for testing of millimeter wave cameras

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Screening cameras working in millimetre band gain more and more interest among security society mainly due to their capability of finding items hidden under clothes. Performance of commercially available passive cameras is still limited due to not sufficient resolution and contrast in comparison to other wavelengths (visible or infrared range). Testing of such cameras usually requires some persons carrying guns, bombs or knives. Such persons can have different clothes or body temperature, what makes the measurements even more ambiguous. To avoid such situations we built a moving phantom of human body. The phantom consists of a polystyrene manikin which is covered with a number of small pipes with water. Pipes were next coated with a silicone "skin". The veins (pipes) are filled with water heated up to 37 C degrees to obtain the same temperature as human body. The phantom is made of non-metallic materials and is placed on a moving wirelessly-controlled platform with four wheels. The phantom can be dressed with a set of ordinary clothes and can be equipped with some dangerous (guns, bombs) and non-dangerous items. For tests we used a passive commercially available camera TS4 from ThruVision Systems Ltd. operating at 250 GHz. We compared the images taken from phantom and a man and we obtained good similarity both for naked as well as dressed man/phantom case. We also tested the phantom with different sets of clothes and hidden items and we got good conformity with persons.
Latina College Student Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence: A Psychosociocultural Approach to Their Etic and Emic Well-Being

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Intimate partner violence (IPV) does not discriminate based on gender, culture, or background, making IPV a universal (i.e., etic) phenomenon; however, Latinas’ cultural realities (i.e., emic) can be overlooked if their IPV experiences are only examined through an etic lens. Therefore, the present study implemented an emic-etic approach to examine Latina student survivors’ well-being. Utilizing the Psychosociocultural Framework, the present study examined if psychological (resilient coping), social (perceived social support), and cultural ( marianismo ) variables explicate Latinas’ emic and etic well-being. Resilient coping, social support, and marianismo collectively explained emic (19%) and etic (38%) well-being. Limitations and future directions are presented.
"Mi no whiteman, I mean" : language ideologies and attitudes toward English and Pijin among Solomon students, between social mobility and national consciousness

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This thesis explores the attitudes of university students toward Pijin, a Melanesian Creole that is the de facto national language, and English, the official language of the country, in Honiara, the capital city of Solomon Islands. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the summer of 2007 on the Solomon Island Campus of the University of the South Pacific (USP), it draws on the concepts of language ideologies and creolization to show that students' linguistic attitudes and behaviours are informed by different ideological influences, which coexist, compete and combine in complex ways. The research argues that, in a post-colonial context where national consciousness is growing, the residual but pervasive effect of the colonial ideology which disparages Pijin as "broken English" is in fact detrimental to the practice of English, a language of high instrumental value for social mobility in Solomon Islands. The tensions that students experience in classrooms with regard to their language practices reveal larger contradictions, related to current processes of nation building and class differentiation, in which Solomon students, as the future elite of a young nation-state, are enmeshed.

The creative works of writer observed certain patterns transition period - generic and genre syncretism began. On the one hand, this was due to the feature of the worldview of the author, his aesthetic worldview, experience objectivity. On the other - reflects the desire to reproduce writer social problems and contradictions of life in a new way - not through the prism of Ethnography and pobutopysannya, and a direct show existential situations, experiences Heroes certain circumstances episodes that reflected in their speech communication. Under proven that means dramatic events are playing in their objectification through speech characters, no narrative elements directly disclosure character actors locality timespace have shaped the genre and change the appearance of the synthetic type as scapular-scene. Events are sent directly life characters. The descriptive elements of narrative almost leveled.Direct speech is kind of characters means copyright psychology. V. Stefanik tends not "tell" about the events not to reveal their author's assessment and understanding and to "show" inner feelings of the characters, to focus attention on a dramatic, emotional situations. This is particularly felt in the monologues, scenes sketches writer who often played in the form of internal communication dialogue with an imaginary companion. Often in the minds of imaginary hero through simulated communication situations dramatic events played out the whole "drama". In such a defining speech designs is the use of taking dramatic "scenes on stage." Thus, innovation modifications genre short fiction Stefanik modification appears in the plot-compositional, narrative features works means of character and picture images of characters associated with the process of synthesizing epic and dramatic characters in the poetics of short story writer.
Simulating Network Architectures with GNS3

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

A network simulator is a software program, free or paid, which is used to create virtual representations of IT networks. In the context of networks, simulation refers to the reproduction of the architecture of a network without using any physical equipment. The interest of the simulation lies in its ability to test the features and operation of a network architecture at no cost. Network simulators enable an architect or network engineer to build and assess an experimental model of a network. This chapter introduces graphical network simulator-3 (GNS3) which is a graphical network emulator that is free to use, open source and reliable. GNS3 is based on three concepts: simulation, emulation and virtualization. Emulation does not allow modeling, but actually identically reproduces the behavior of a software program and its hardware architecture. The chapter discusses the functionalities and limitations of GNS3. It also describes the installation and operating procedures of GNS3.
Nasal Adenocarcinoma in a Taiwan Macaque

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Although a variety of neoplasms have been reported in nonhuman primates [ 5 ] , tumors of the nasopharyngeal region are rare. Amelobastic odontomas have been found in the Celebes [2] and Rhesus monkeys [6]; oral soft tissue tumors have been found in the spider monkey [4], and bone neoplasms of the cranial-facial region of Rhesus monkeys [ 3 ] . We report a nasal cavity adenocarcinoma with metastasis t o the lung in a Taiwan monkey, Mucaca cyclopis. The macaque was a 10-year-old male that had been housed with 20-25 healthy monkeys in a primate holding room. The other monkeys were used for trachoma virus studies in Taiwan. The macaque had not been used in any study for 18 months prior to discovery of the tumor. A mass about 3 centimeters in diameter was found in the left nasal cavity causing swelling in the left maxilla. Biopsy of the lesion showed it to be a papillary adenocarcinoma. The tumor continued to grow to about 6 centimeters in diameter and eventually ulcerated through the nasal dermis. The mass was surgically removed and the face reconstructed by plastic surgery. Three months later the mass reappeared and was again removed (fig. 1). Because malignant nasal tumors are common in Asians, virologists at the College of Medicine, National Taiwan University, requested that the disease be allowed to progress for several months in order to attempt virus isolation from the tumor. These studies were unfruitful. Thoracic radiographs showed pulmonary metastasis. After erosion of facial bone had become extensive the animal was killed. The tumor had ulcerated through half the facial dermis and was encroaching upon the bony orbit of the left eye. The protruding tumor was gray-tan and friable. In addition, the tumor had replaced the anterior half of the hard palate including the associated dental arcade. Cutting was easy in this area. All lobes of the lung contained foci of various sized metastatic tumors which were harder t o cut than was the primary focus. There were no metastasis in other organs o r structures. The biopsy (fig. 2) taken about a year before the macaque was killed showed papillary adenocarcinoma of interconnecting fronds and islands of neoplastic cells. Mitotic figures were numerous. The neoplastic foci in the lungs tended to be solitary adenocarcinomatous nodules (fig. 3) with numerous mitotic figures. Special stains showed mucin in some areas. Since the history on this monkey included exposure to the trachoma virus only and since it had not been exposed to any other experimentation, speculation on
Shintō, the disenchanter

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In 1920 Emperor Meiji (1867-1912) was venerated as a god at a Shintō shrine in central Tokyo: was this an archaic cult for the hero of modernity? While nothing suggests that religion cannot play a role in the modernisation process, the evolution of Shintō in the modern era took the form of a destruction of syncretic traditions, and thus a kind of secularisation, all under the pretext of a return to Japan's ancient origins. Denying the recent past reinforced a linear conception of time and allowed the solar calendar to be rapidly adopted. Furthermore, reactivating the mythical past enabled the deification of the country – the Japanese version of Western nationalism and its attachment to the land of the ancestors. The sacred royalty invoked in order to restore imperial rule paved the way for a deification of the sovereign, which was the Shintō version of the providential man of twentieth-century dictatorships. The official Meiji Shintō, far from being a minor phenomenon, can thus be considered a major part of Japanese modernity.

920 Improving the Management of Post-Operative Hypocalcaemia In Thyroid Surgery

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Aim Hypocalcaemia is a frequent, and potentially dangerous, complication of total thyroidectomy [1, 2] due to the removal of the parathyroid glands. This quality improvement (QI) project was undertaken in a large Ear, Nose and Throat department in the East of England over a year. The project improved postoperative guideline compliance by optimising the recognition and management of patients at risk of hypocalcaemia. This process focussed on improving parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium blood testing, appropriate prescribing and the monitoring and management of hypocalcaemia. Method A baseline audit was conducted to determine initial guideline compliance. The QI process subsequently involved the introduction of a new intraoperative PTH pathway and the amendment of trust guidelines. In addition, there was a focus on improving clinician awareness of guidelines, junior doctor education, communication between operating surgeons and junior doctors and the optimisation of patient handover. Results The measurement of PTH at four hours improved from 42.5% to 52.2%. The project saw a significant improvement in the monitoring of hypocalcaemia (from 22.2% to 83.3% for patients with an intermediate risk of hypocalcaemia) and in the prescribing of prophylactic calcium supplements from 7.5% to 43.5%. Conclusions By optimising postoperative care this QI project improved patient safety as well as impacting on the duration, and overall cost, of inpatient stay.
