Christian “anarchism” of three cosmists (st. Francis of Assisi, N.F. Fedorov, Pope Francis)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The philosophy of three prominent Christian thinkers is considered: St. Francis of Assisi, Nikolai Fedorovich Fedorov and Pope Francis. Despite the time distance, each of them sets forth common ideas. It is claimed that the link between these individuals is the philosophy of cosmism. A typical representative of this trend is Nikolai Fedorov, but thinking in the categories of cosmism is also noted in the works of St. Francis of Assisi and Bishop of Rome. It is proposed to call them Christian anarchists who violate the fossilized structure of the church and society. The specificity of their anarchism is emphasized, devoid of negative features, built in the image of Christ and leading to the renewal of the sacred space, the Earth. The basic concepts of each of the three Christian anarchists are considered. The analysis of their philosophy allows for the formulation of the thesis that the ideas they propose to restructure the world and society are based on the principle of Christ – “not by force, but by love”.
The use of gum arabic in the washing compositions of surfactants

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Gum Arabic (GA) is a unique polysaccharide which has excellent emulsifying and encapsulating properties. GA is very widely used in food and non-food industry. Emulsive stability depends on concentration, temperature as well as on homogenization time. Thus the priority task of this research work is to improve the quality of final products by getting stable emulsions under the conditions that allow to vary the time of homogenization.

The hazard of erosion in the Xeropotamos river drainage basin on the eastern side of Kastoria lake is examined in this paper, through G.I.S. techniques (methodology).Eight levels of information were taken into account: The channel network, the Digital Elevation Model (DEM through TIN), the surface slope degree and orientation, the lithology, the vegetational cover, the rainfall distribution and the wind blown factors.The combination of the above levels of information allowed the production of two alternative erosional hazard assessment maps. One counts for equal and another counts for not equal influence of all the above factors in the model. The erosional capacity of Xeropotamos is reflected on the flatlands of the eastern side of Kastoria lake,where the river deposits heavy sediment loads, thus forming a deltaic lobe into the lake. It threatens to split the lake, unless antierosional measures on the drainage basin reduces its capacity.

Riboflavin content in selected traditional foods from Black Sea Area countries

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is an essential water-soluble vitamin present in a wide variety of foods, namely in milk, dairy products, cereal products, meat products and green leafy vegetables. The primary form of the vitamin is an integral component of the coenzymes flavin mononucleotide and flavin-adenine dinucleotide. It is in these bound coenzyme forms that riboflavin functions as a catalyst for redox reactions in numerous metabolic pathways and in energy production. The daily recommended allowance for riboflavin is 1.3 mg/day and 1.1 mg/day, for males and females, respectively. Due to its unquestionable importance in human nutrition, riboflavin was determined in the selected traditional foods analysed in the frame of the European Project BaSeFood (Sustainable exploitation of bioactive components from the Black Sea Area traditional foods). Riboflavin was determined according to the method EN 14152:2003. The sample is extracted after acid hydrolysis followed by dephosphorylation (with enzymatic treatment) and quantified by High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence detection. The quantification limit of the method is <0.02 mg/100 g. This is an accredited method and the laboratory participates successfully in proficiency testing schemes. All the analyses were carried out protected from light because riboflavin is very sensitive to light. Analysis are being carried out in selected traditional foods from six Black Sea Area countries, which belong to the following groups: cereals and cereal based foods; vegetables; fruits; products from oilseeds; herbs, spices and aromatic plants; and fermented products. Our results show that 76.5 % of the analysed traditional foods had riboflavin content higher than 0.02 mg/100 g per edible portion. Roasted sunflower seeds presented the highest concentration of riboflavin (0.19 mg/100 g per edible portion). Therefore, traditional foods from Black Sea Area countries can give a good contribution to riboflavin dietary intake.
Regulated Membrane Trafficking of the Insulin-Responsive Glucose Transporter 4 in Adipocytes

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Since the discovery of insulin roughly 80 yr ago, much has been learned about how target cells receive, interpret, and respond to this peptide hormone. For example, we now know that insulin activates the tyrosine kinase activity of its cell surface receptor, thereby triggering intracellular signaling cascades that regulate many cellular processes. With respect to glucose homeostasis, these include the function of insulin to suppress hepatic glucose production and to increase glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissues, the latter resulting from the translocation of the glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) to the cell surface membrane. Although simple in broad outline, elucidating the molecular intricacies of these receptor-signaling pathways and membrane-trafficking processes continues to challenge the creative ingenuity of scientists, and many questions remain unresolved, or even perhaps unasked. The identification and functional characterization of specific molecules required for both insulin signaling and GLUT4 vesicle trafficking remain key issues in our pursuit of developing specific therapeutic agents to treat and/or prevent this debilitating disease process. To this end, the combined efforts of numerous research groups employing a range of experimental approaches has led to a clearer molecular picture of how insulin regulates the membrane trafficking of GLUT4.
A hybrid of adaptive genetic algorithm and pattern search for stock index optimized replicate

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

How to allocate the weights of stocks is an interesting technology in stock index optimized replicate. This paper proposed a hybrid algorithm of adaptive genetic algorithm and pattern search (AGA-PS) to find the optimal portfolio weights. In AGA-PS, the crossover probability and mutation probability are adjusted adaptively. The weight from adaptive genetic algorithm is as the search start point of pattern search. The experiment result of AGA-PS, which has smaller tracking error compared with GA and AGA, has shown that AGA-PS model is feasible and effective to the stock portfolio.
SH3600772.08FU

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.
Anesthesia for cataract surgery and its complications

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Along with the rapidly improving techniques and approaches to cataract surgery, various approaches to anesthesia have evolved. In just a few years, the popularity of general anesthesia gave way to local anesthesia by retrobulbar which in turn, has been increasingly challenged by peribulbar anesthesia and, most recently, by the use of topical anesthesia. Unfortunately, some of these techniques have been published in ophthalmic newsletters or in special interest journals and have not been presented in a manner that can be adequately validated by follow-up and peer review. Cataract anesthetic techniques continue to evolve and as complications are reported with one technique, other methods are tried to achieve the correct balance of efficacy and safety. Today, an increasing volume of data confirms the safety and effectiveness of anesthesia that is localized to the anterior segment.
Experimental Zinc Deficiency in Humans

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

During the past two decades, essentiality of zinc for man has been established. Deficiency of zinc in man due to nutritional factors and several disseased states, has been recognized. A marginal deficiency of zinc appears to be prevalent in many segments of population in developed countries and more severe deficiencies are widespread in many parts of the world. In our experimental human model, a marginal deficiency of zinc was induced by dietary means. Loss of body weight (less than 10% in six months on zinc restricted diet), testicular hypofunction, hyperammonemia and a decrease in plasma, urinary and neutrophil zinc concentration were observed. Changes in zinc dependent enzymes such as deoxythymidine kinase in newly synthesized connective tissue and plasma alkaline phosphatase were also observed as a result of zinc restriction and repletion in our model.
Recent Advances in Mechanisms of Odor Perception

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

This paper summarizes recent findings on the olfactory system and on its functioning. Studies in molecular biology indicate that odor receptors are extremely numerous and diverse. These remarkable findings, along with recent data on the functional organization of the olfactory bulb and cortex, provide a framework for revisiting traditional views on odor coding. Both spatial and temporal neural codes seem to participate in the representation of odors in the olfactory system.
Don't Overlook Importance of Off‐the‐Job Safety Training

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The author suggests that on‐the‐job safety programs should address off‐the‐job safety issues. The author believes that employees who are careful at home will carry that attitude to their jobs. While the article does not address specific safety issues, it presents reasons for emphasizing off‐the‐job safety and how to present the concept to employees.
The value of an operative wound swab sent in transport medium in the prediction of later clinical wound infection: A controlled clinical and bacteriological evaluation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Operative wound swabs taken at 214 transperitoneal operations were examined during the course of three controlled clinical trails to determine the value of transport medium in the carriage of specimens. The use of Stuart's transport medium more than doubled the number of swabs yielding pathogens in the laboratory compared with a control series of duplicate swabs not sent in transport medium. Anaerobes were even more severely affected than aerobes by ‘dry’ carriage. A polyester foam swab was shown to have no advantage over the standard cottonwool variety. Bacteriological swabs from superficial wound fat were shown to be superfluous if a peritoneal wound swab had already been taken. We suggest that operative abdominal wound swabs should not be accepted for processing by a microbiological laboratory unless sent in transport medium. Wound infection, assessed on the fifth postoperative day, was shown to be related to the result of operative swab culture only when the swab was sent in transport medium. When the operative culture was negative at 48 h, only 1 per cent later became infected. When the operative swabs grew obligate anaerobes alone, 13 per cent became infected–aerobes alone, 23 per cent, and mixed aerobes plus anaerobes, 71 per cent. The growth of mixed aerobes plus anaerobes from the operative swab was a far superior predictive factor for later infection than the degree of operative contamination or the type of operation, and provided a simple, rapid means of identifying a subgroup of patients at high risk (71 per cent) of developing infection who might benefit from planned antibiotic therapy.
Harty’s <i>Ode to a Nightingale</i>: A Confluence of Wagner and Elgar

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Hamilton Harty, a figure readily associated with an assimilation of Irish culture, in 1907 composed a setting of Keats’s Ode to a Nightingale specially for his wife, the soprano Agnes Nicholls. Nicholls had become a pre-eminent Wagnerian soprano in London thanks largely to the encouragement of Hans Richter who engaged her for many of the major female roles in productions at Drury Lane and Covent Garden. A further aspect of her success were the roles she played in Elgar’s heavily informed Wagnerian oratorios, and especially the role of Mary in The Kingdom at Birmingham in 1906. Hamilton Harty, in his capacity as one of Britain’s finest accompanists, ‘coached’ Nicholls for this role and, in response, composed his own thoroughly Wagnerian Ode to a Nightingale the following year. This article seeks not only to connect Harty’s work with the influence of Wagner and Elgar but also to identify the powerful connection poetically and musically between Harty’s ‘scena’ and Wagner’s Tristan.
Melting heat transfer of a quadratic stratified Jeffrey nanofluid flow with inclined magnetic field and thermophoresis

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Recently, researchers are facing great challenges to form the homogeneous solutions of various liquids at biomedical and industrial levels. Such homogeneous solutions can be controlled through stratification phenomenon directly which is ignored by the researchers in the existing literature specifically quadratic stratification and melting heat mechanism which is valid only for higher temperature processes. Thus, to form the homogeneous and stable liquid solutions for various industrial processes, we investigate the melting heat phenomenon in quadratic stratified Jeffery Nano fluid flow deformed due to linearly stretching sheet along with stagnation point. Inclined constant magnetic field is implemented on the fluid through an arbitrary angel. Characteristics of heat and transportations are disclosed through viscous dissipation, Brownian motion and thermphoresis. Temperature and concentration of the surrounding fluids are assumed higher than the stretching surface. The resultant governing equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations through proper transformations. Convergent analytical series solutions are computed via homotopic approach. Impact of various emerging parameters on temperature, velocity and concentration fields are illustrated and discussed comprehensively. Sherwood and Nusselt numbers and drag force are scrutinized mathematically, physically and graphically. It is analyzed from the study that (i) dominant melting reduces the temperature field (ii) higher thermal and solutal stratification decay the temperature and concentration fields respectively (iii) higher thermophoresis enhances the temperature field. Further, it is concluded that stable and homogeneous solutions may be made by increasing melting and reducing stratification phenomena. This study will help us to provide actual amount of heat for heating processes in industries and biomedicine which is the basic requirement for excellent quality of products.
The relationship between morpho‐physiological changes and expression of transcription factors in NTT local rice cultivars as a response to drought stress

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Response by plants to drought occurs through a series of mechanisms that involve transcription regulation. This research was conducted to study transcription factors (TF) and physiological changes in the drought response of local rice cultivars from East Nusa Tenggara (Nusa Tenggara Timur, NTT) during drought stress. Using three NTT local rice cultivars (Boawae Seratus Malam (BSM), Gogo Jak (GJ), and Kisol Manggarai (KM)) and the fraction of transpirable soil water (FTSW) method with two treatment levels, FTSW 1 (control) and FTSW 0.2 (severe stress), we analyzed the TF expression of OsDREB1A, OsDREB2A, OsWRKY45, and OsNAC6. Based on the result, the highest level of TF expression occurred in the BSM, followed by the GJ and KM cultivars. Analysis of physiological characteristics showed an association between TF expression levels and physiological response, with the BSM cultivar showing high pigment levels, high proline content, and lower H2O2 levels. A linkage was also found in relation to water conservation, as indicated by the higher relative water content and cell membrane stability index in the BSM cultivar in contrast to lower electronic leakage and malondialdehyde percentage when exposed to drought. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the BSM cultivar can be considered as a drought‐tolerant local cultivar according to morpho‐physiological analysis. In this study, all NTT local rice cultivars showed a subtle upregulation of stress‐responsive transcription factors OsDREB1A, OsDREB2A, OsWRKY45, and OsNAC6 as responses to drought stress.
Revealing the Shape of Genome Space via K-mer Topology

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Despite decades of effort, understanding the shape of genome space in biology remains a challenge due to the similarity, variability, diversity, and plasticity of evolutionary relationships among species, genes, or other biological entities. We present a k-mer topology method, the first of its kind, to delineate the shape of the genome space. K-mer topology examines the topological persistence and the evolution of the homotopic shape of the sequences of k nucleotides in species, organisms, and genes using persistent Laplacians, a new multiscale combinatorial approach. We also propose a topological genetic distance between species by their topological invariants and non-harmonic spectra over scales. This new metric defines the topological phylogenetic trees of genomes, facilitating species classification and clustering. K-mer topology substantially outperforms state-of-the-art methods on a variety of benchmark datasets, including mammalian mitochondrial genomes, Rhinovirus, SARS-CoV-2 variants, Ebola virus, Hepatitis E virus, Influenza hemagglutinin genes, and whole bacterial genomes. K-mer topology reveals the intrinsic shapes of the genome space and can be directly applied to the rational design of viral vaccines.
Saliency Based Assessment of Videos from Frame-Wise Quality Measures

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Video quality assessment aims to compute the formalmeasure of perceived video degradation when video is passedthrough a video transmission/processing system. Most of theexisting video quality measures extend Image Quality Measuresby applying them on each frame and later combining the qualityvalues of each frame to get the quality of the entire video. Whencombining the quality values of frames, a simple average or invery few metrics, weighted average has been traditionally used. In this work, saliency of a frame has been used to compute theweight required for each frame to obtain the quality value ofvideo. The goal of every objective quality metric is to correlateas closely as possible to the perceived quality, and the objectiveof saliency is parallel to this as the saliency values should matchthe human perception. Hence we have experimented by usingsaliency to get the final video quality. The idea is demonstratedby using a number of state of art quality metrics on some of thebenchmark datasets.
