Oncolytic Viruses: From Basics to Challenges to Innovation

The landscape of cancer therapeutics has undergone a transformative shift from broad approaches, such as radiation and chemotherapy, to more precise strategies, encompassing small molecule kinase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies targeting immune checkpoint molecules. Oncolytic viruses (OVs) have recently emerged as a promising and viable option for cancer immunotherapy, particularly for “cold” tumors entrenched in an immunologically-suppressive tumor microenvironment. Genetic attenuation refines the characteristics of OVs, replacing specific genes to enhance conditional viral replication within tumor cells. Despite their potential, the therapeutic use of OVs faces challenges such as pre-mature elimination by the immune system of the host alongside the dense stromal barriers. In this review article, the strategic encapsulation of genetically-engineered OVs within intra-lesional/-tumoral carriers/ vehicles such as mesenchymal stem cells are explored. To further enhance vector delivery strategies and precise targeting, protecting/shielding OVs from host immune responses, via utilizing release-controlled nanoparticles and employing nanofilaments to optimize vector propagation, for example, are discussed. Such innovative approaches not only mitigate challenges related to pre-mature viral clearance and stromal barriers yet also facilitates a localized, controlled, and sustained release of OVs, thereby optimizing their therapeutic bio-safety and -impact. Ongoing clinical investigations are exploring the synergies between OVs and carriers/delivery systems, combined with various anti-cancer therapeutics as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and monoclonal antibodies. These studies hold promise for revolutionizing cancer treatment, ensuring both safety and efficacy, aiming to advance bio-pharmaceutical delivery systems from bench-top to bed-side for enhanced therapeutic results, improved patient survival, and enhanced quality of life or QoL.

Magnetostructural transformation and magnetocaloric response in Mn(Fe)NiSi(Al) alloys

An efficient magnetocaloric refrigerant must have certain characteristics such as a sharp transition near the desired working temperature, a large cyclic magnetocaloric response, and the use of raw materials with reduced costs and low environmental consequences. In this sense, this work focuses on a series of rare-earth- and Co-free Mn0.5Fe0.5NiSi1-xAlx alloys (x = 0.0525, 0.060, 0.0685) with promising magnetocaloric properties. The alloys were synthesized using combined arc melting and induction melting techniques, as this synthesis route provides improved control on the sample composition and homogeneity. We investigated how the heat treatment temperature and Al content affect the magnetostructural and magnetocaloric properties of the alloys. On the one hand, it is found that annealing at 1173 K for 7 days leads to a sharp magnetostructural transformation with no traces of impurities for the alloy with x = 0.0525. Under these conditions, a large isothermal entropy change of –11.5 J kg−1 K−1 for 1 T is obtained near room temperature, significantly improving the value of the as-cast sample. On the other hand, following this optimal heat treatment, the influence of Al content is studied: upon increasing the Al concentration the magnetostructural transformation shifts to lower temperatures, ranging from 320 K for x = 0.0525 to 220 K for x = 0.0685 (measured upon heating).

Transformative Shifts in Informal Reasoning of Pre-Service Teachers in a Real-Time Health Issue

ABSTRACT COVID-19 became a serious health problem all over the world. This health issue also turned into one of the most striking socio-scientific controversies in recent years. The present study utilized qualitative exploratory methodologies to investigate how pre-service science teachers’ informal reasoning transformed over the pandemic’s first two months of social distancing and quarantine. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with N = 26 3rd and 4th year pre-service biology teachers studying at a state university in Türkiye. Analysis revealed that these preservice teachers’ rational decision-making mode and moral-based reasoning decreased in the second interviews, while their emotive and intuitive modes increased. This could be explained by the fact that decision-making mechanisms are likely operating under the influence of different variables in unstructured natural SSI cases, since rational decisions are insufficient for producing solutions during these complex processes. In addition, the results indicated that individuals may hold more than one decision-making mode at the same time when grappling with complex, ill-structured SSIs. Moreover, participants who held multiple perspectives at the beginning tended to consider fewer factors in their decision-making processes at the end of the two-month period. The study contributes to the evolving understanding of science teacher education during times of crisis.

The Interplay of Social Norms and Legal Systems: Unraveling the Complexity of Domestic Violence in China and Paving the Path for Change

This research investigates the perpetuation of domestic violence (DV) in China by analyzing how social norms and institutional practices collectively contribute to the challenges faced by individuals experiencing DV. Despite the implementation of China's Anti-Domestic Violence Law in 2016, its effectiveness in protecting DV survivors' rights has been subject to scrutiny among researchers. This research aims to understand whether law enforcement and judicial responses post-legislation effectively align with policy objectives to mitigate DV issues. It hypothesizes a dissonance between the DV legislation and social norms emphasizing family and social harmony and non-interference in family affairs. Focusing on specific DV cases and incorporating the meta-analysis of secondary empirical data, archived governmental reports, periodicals, interviews, Confucian writings, and prior scholarly insights, this study examines how social norms and institutional practices in governmental agencies impact the framing and responses to DV cases. Findings suggest that entrenched social and gender norms shaped by Confucianism and traditional Chinese cultural values legitimize and reinforce institutional norms regarding how police and judges should downplay DV cases, leading to indifference and ineffective DV interventions. This research highlights the importance of adopting a social norms approach to effectively address this problem and the need for a transformative shift in social attitudes toward DV. It contributes to a nuanced understanding of DV and policy implementation in China, potentially serving as a significant step towards devising practical strategies to improve the protection of DV survivors at the local level.

Attention-Guided and Topology-Enhanced Shift Graph Convolutional Network for Skeleton-Based Action Recognition

Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) have emerged as a game-changer in skeleton-based action recognition. However, most previous works are resource-heavy, with large FLoating-number OPerations (FLOPs) limiting the model’s potential. A recent work involving shift operators to GCN (Shift-GCN) has successfully introduced a lightweight GCN, but there is still a performance gap compared to previous results. Inspired by Shift-GCN, we propose an innovative and novel model named attention-guided and topology-enhanced shift graph convolutional network (AT-Shift-GCN), which continues the lightweight benchmark and provides a more powerful performance. We employ a topological transfer operation to aggregate the information flow of different channels and extract spatial information. In addition, to extract temporal information across scales, we apply attention to interacting with shift convolution kernels of different lengths. Furthermore, we integrate an ultralight spatiotemporal attention module to fuse spatiotemporal details and provide robust neighborhood representation. In summary, AT-Shift-GCN is a breakthrough in skeleton-based action recognition that provides a lightweight model with enhanced performance on three datasets.

Despite the widespread acknowledgment of this digital shift, there remains a substantial gap in understanding of how libraries are adapting to these changes, particularly in terms of integrating digital innovations to enhance user access and engagement. This study aims to bridge this knowledge gap by examining the directional trends of library development in the context of digital transformation. By analysing library services in three regions - Europe, the United States of America, and Asia - critical adaptations and innovations are identified that are shaping the future of library services. The goal is to illuminate the current landscape and propose strategic directions to help library stakeholders with planning and implementation.

Single-pixel deep phase-shifting incoherent digital holography

Incoherent digital holography technology reduces the requirement for coherence of light sources, greatly expanding the application range of digital holography. In this paper, we designed a Multi-head attention single-pixel (MHASP) phase-shifting network for incoherent digital holography. The trained network has the capability to effortlessly predict three interferograms, encompassing phase shifts of 0, 2/3 π, and 4/3 π, solely from one-dimensional input data. Utilizing the conventional three-step phase-shifting method, we are able to effectively eliminate the DC and twin terms from the holographic reconstruction process, subsequently achieving a high-fidelity reconstruction facilitated by the employment of the back propagation algorithm. The comprehensive experimental findings clearly indicate that, beyond facilitating high-precision reconstruction, the introduced MHASP phase-shifting approach efficiently preserves 3D information through calibrating the back propagation distance, even when confronted with a reduced volume of holographic data. Furthermore, the introduced approach uses a network to replace the actual phase shift operation, which can better improve the utilization of object light energy. This approach not only circumvented the constraints posed by area array sensors but also facilitated high-fidelity imaging with minimal data volume, thereby expanding the horizons of incoherent digital holography applications in the realm of 3D imaging.

Assessing the diffusion of photovoltaic technology and electric vehicles using system dynamics modeling

Amidst the sweeping changes in the global electricity and automotive sectors, we observe a rapid surge in the proliferation of distributed generation (DG) and electric vehicles (EVs), primarily driven by the widespread deployment of photovoltaic systems. The widespread embrace of EVs necessitates a dual approach of financial incentives and infrastructure development to enhance the appeal of these vehicles. The findings presented in this paper hold significant importance for policymakers, underscoring the urgency of transitioning toward sustainable decentralized power systems and promoting EV adoption. While this transition offers promising opportunities, it also presents formidable challenges. Successful integration of DG and EVs demands careful attention to policy and regulatory frameworks. Some experts advocate for simultaneous adjustments in design, addressing mobility limitations and offering incentives for DG and EVs. Given the multitude of uncertainties, the authors suggest employing a system dynamics model to analyze the impact of photovoltaic technology and EV diffusion. The paper concludes that, within the Colombian context, the potential exists, under specific conditions, to increase the adoption of solar panels and EVs in households. This, in turn, contributes to a reduction in CO2 emissions and a transformative shift in the composition of the automotive fleet toward EVs.

Enhancing PVT property predictions for black oil reservoirs through the application of supervised machine learning techniques

The study presents an innovative approach utilizing machine learning (ML) techniques to forecast essential characteristics of black oil reservoirs, namely the oil formation volume factor (Bo) and the solution gas-oil ratio (Rs). A suite of four established ML algorithms-Random Forest, Linear Regression, Ada Boost, and Gradient Boost were extensively conditioned using a dataset that includes 297 individual data points and evaluation is done using test data and a blind test of models. The study showcases the practical efficacy of ML in accurately predicting Bo and Rs, even with a relatively modest dataset. The potential of ML models to save time and costs by reducing the dependence on laborious laboratory measurements is underscored, presenting a transformative shift in reservoir engineering practices. Furthermore, the current research extends its impact by comparing ML predictions with various empirical correlations and actual values, demonstrating that ML models, particularly Gradient Boost, consistently outperform traditional correlations and it can be used to predict values in the undersaturated region too. It is observed from the blind test results that for the prediction of Bo Gradient boost and random forest models (R2 0.97, RMSE 0.01) is a preferable choice and for the prediction of Rs the Gradient boost model (R2 0.97, RMSE 22) can be preferred. The adaptability of ML models to integrate new data over time is a significant feature, ensuring continuous improvement in accuracy. This study adds to the expanding reservoir engineering knowledge base, highlighting the practical use of machine learning for accurately predicting crucial reservoir properties. Its significance goes beyond theoretical progress, providing tangible tools for reservoir engineers and geologists to improve decision-making in the management of oil and gas reservoirs.

The fine spectra of a difference of weighted shift operators acting in some classical sequence spaces

In this paper we investigate the fine spectra, the ergodic properties and the linear dynamics of the operatorC(x)=(−nxn+n(n−1)xn−2)n∈N0,x=(xn)n∈N0∈CN0, and of its formal adjoint C′ acting in the classical sequence spaces s, s′, ω and φ. The operators C and C′ acting in s are conjugate to the one-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck differential operator Ou=u″−xu′ and to the differential operator O′u=u″+xu′+u acting in S(R), respectively.

Integration of a novel 3D chaotic map with ELSS and novel cross-border pixel exchange strategy for secure image communication

This paper proposes a robust image encryption algorithm that utilizes a Novel three-dimensional (3D) Chaotic map and an Enhanced Logistic Sine System (ELSS). We leverage the unpredictability of 3D chaotic dynamics alongside the complexity of ELSS and DNA Sequence to forge a formidable image encryption scheme. Firstly, the image pixels are converted from decimal to hexadecimal notation and sorted in a 1D pixel array carrying a unique sequence of three channels of the RGB image. Secondly, the secret key is appended to XOR, the values with that 1-D pixels array. Thirdly, values are sorted by performing the binary right shift operation and encoded into DNA. Fourthly, a novel chaotic map is used to perform scrambling operations. Lastly, a novel enormous keyspace ELSS is used to perform efficient Border and Cross-Border (B &CB) pixel exchange, further enhancing the encryption quality of the proposed algorithm. Comprehensive security analysis proved that the proposed algorithm exhibits remarkable resilience against powerful known and chosen plaintext attacks and other prevalent cryptanalysis attacks, including differential attacks and exhaustive key search attacks. Henceforth, the proposed algorithm’s superior security and low computational cost make it an ideal choice for real-time secure image communication across various platforms, including satellite, multimedia, and military communications.

Optimizing Agricultural Data Analysis Techniques through AI-Powered Decision-Making Processes

The agricultural sector is undergoing a transformative paradigm shift with the integration of advanced technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), to enhance data analysis techniques and streamline decision-making processes. This paper delves into the integration of advanced technologies in agriculture, focusing specifically on optimizing data analysis through artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen decision-making processes in farming. We present a novel AI-powered model that leverages historical agricultural datasets, utilizing a comprehensive array of established machine learning algorithms to enhance the prediction and classification of agricultural data. This work provides tailored algorithm recommendations, bypassing the need to deploy and fine-tune numerous algorithms. We approximate the accuracy of suitable algorithms, highlighting those with the highest precision, thus saving time by leveraging pre-trained AI models on historical agricultural data. Our method involves three phases: collecting diverse agricultural datasets, applying multiple classifiers, and documenting their accuracy. This information is stored in a CSV file, which is then used by AI classifiers to predict the accuracy of new, unseen datasets. By evaluating feature information and various data segmentations, we recommend the configuration that achieves the highest accuracy. This approach eliminates the need for exhaustive algorithm reruns, relying on pre-trained models to estimate outcomes based on dataset characteristics. Our experimentation spans various configurations, including different training–testing splits and feature sets across multiple dataset sizes, meticulously evaluated through key performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure. The experimental results underscore the efficiency of our model, with significant improvements in predictive accuracy and resource utilization, demonstrated through comparative performance analysis against traditional methods. This paper highlights the superiority of the proposed model in its ability to systematically determine the most effective algorithm for specific agricultural data types, thus optimizing computational resources and improving the scalability of smart farming solutions. The results reveal that the proposed system can accurately predict a near-optimal machine learning algorithm and data structure for crop data with an accuracy of 89.38%, 87.61%, and 84.27% for decision tree, random forest, and random tree algorithms, respectively.

Deconstructing the Politics of Linguistic Mutation in Tom Stoppard’s Dogg’s Hamlet, Cahoot’s Macbeth

Tom Stoppard’s theatrical works, Dogg’s Hamlet, Cahoot’s Macbeth, serve as a significant exemplification of linguistic and political power dynamics. These plays represent a transformative shift that depicts the workings of hegemony in Czechoslovakia during the Cold War era. Stoppard, a Czechoslovakian native, crafted these satirical works in response to the brutal persecution of critical intellectuals and censorship of their dissident works. The plays voice the intellectual restlessness of the time, resisting the status quo, and illustrating the tensions that led to the 1989 Velvet Revolution. Stoppard’s innovative linguistic experimentation transforms Shakespeare’s plays, Hamlet and Macbeth, into an entirely novel linguistic system, named “Doggspeak,” which derives inspiration from Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations. This new linguistic transformation acts as a catalyst for social and political change, resisting surveillance and censorship of free speech. Stoppard’s plays, therefore, use language to alter power relations, creating space for political defiance. This paper delves into two key questions: How does Stoppard modify language in the dramatic setting, and how does this linguistic transformation shift power relations within the plays? By creating a new linguistic system, Stoppard outmanoeuvres oppressors and wittingly turns language into an instrument for political rebellion. He stages a truncated, mutant version of Shakespeare’s plays where they are banned, giving voice to the intellectual restlessness of Czechoslovakia in the 1970s. Stoppard’s plays posit that language is not merely a tool for communication, but also a vehicle for social and political transformation. Through linguistic mutation, Stoppard subverts the existing power structures and challenges the hegemony of the oppressors. This essay argues that Stoppard’s plays showcase the crucial significance of language in the struggle for political and social change, emphasizing the crucial role that language plays in shaping our perceptions and understanding of the world.

Pre-Clinical Models for CAR T-Cell Therapy for Glioma.

Immunotherapy represents a transformative shift in cancer treatment. Among myriad immune-based approaches, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has shown promising results in treating hematological malignancies. Despite aggressive treatment options, the prognosis for patients with malignant brain tumors remains poor. Research leveraging CAR T-cell therapy for brain tumors has surged in recent years. Pre-clinical models are crucial in evaluating the safety and efficacy of these therapies before they advance to clinical trials. However, current models recapitulate the human tumor environment to varying degrees. Novel in vitro and in vivo techniques offer the opportunity to validate CAR T-cell therapies but also have limitations. By evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of various pre-clinical glioma models, this review aims to provide a roadmap for the development and pre-clinical testing of CAR T-cell therapies for brain tumors.

Statistics Evolution and Revolution to Meet Data Science Challenges

AbstractThe advent of the Big Data era has necessitated a transformational shift in statistical research, responding to the novel demands of data science. Despite extensive discourse within statistical communities on confronting these emerging challenges, we offer our unique perspectives, underscoring the extended responsibilities of statisticians in pre-analysis and post-analysis tasks. Moreover, we propose a new definition and classification of Big Data based on data sources: Type I Big Data, which is the result of aggregating a large number of small datasets via data sharing and curation, and Type II Big Data, which is the Real-World Data (RWD) amassed from business operations and practices. Each category necessitates distinct data preprocessing and preparation (DPP) methods, and the objectives of analysis as well as the interpretation of results can significantly diverge between these two types of Big Data. We further suggest that the statistical communities should consider adopting and rapidly incorporating new paradigms and cultures by learning from other disciplines. Particularly, beyond Breiman’s (Stat Sci 16(3):199–231, 2021) two modeling cultures, statisticians may need to pay more attention to a newly emerging third culture: the integration of algorithmic modeling with multi-scale dynamic modeling based on fundamental physics laws or mechanisms that generate the data. We draw from our experience in numerous related research projects to elucidate these novel concepts and perspectives.

The Impact of Digital Inclusive Finance on the Sustainable Growth of Income of Herdsmen in China’s Pastoral Areas

The sustainable growth of income for farming households in pastoral areas represents a crucial challenge not only for China but also for other developing nations in the process of transition to ecologically friendly models. The scarcity of assets available for collateral, along with vulnerable production conditions and developmental shortcomings, pose significant barriers to the consistent expansion of herdsmen’s income. This paper analyzes the impact of digital financial inclusion on the income of herdsmen in ethnic minority regions using panel data models from nine major pastoral provinces in China from 2011 to 2022. Through a fixed-effects model approach, the analysis delves into the influence of digital financial inclusion and subjects it to multi-dimensional and robustness tests to ensure the reliability of the findings. Furthermore, the research explores the underlying mechanisms through which digital financial inclusion contributes to income enhancement for herdsmen in these areas, employing mediation effect techniques to provide deeper insights into the relationship between digital financial services and economic upliftment in remote ethnic communities. The research findings indicate that digital financial inclusion has a positive impact on the income of herdsmen in ethnic minority regions. The breadth of coverage, depth of usage, and level of digitalization of digital financial inclusion all play a significant role in enhancing the income levels of herdsmen. In terms of the degree of influence, the impact of digital finance on the income of ethnic minorities follows this order: depth of usage > degree of digitalization > breadth of coverage. Notably, through financial backing that catalyzes a shift in herdsmen’s production methodologies and propels industrial upgrading, there is a profound potential to increase herdsmen’s output efficiency. This, in turn, alleviates the ecological strain on China’s environmentally delicate zones. Moreover, financial backing can condense the breeding periods for herdsmen, thereby ameliorating the ecological degradation associated with excessive grazing in pastoral regions. A mediating-effect analysis reveals that digital financial inclusion can boost economic development in ethnic minority regions by increasing wage income, raising per capita GDP levels, and promoting industrial structure upgrading. This, in turn, leads to an improvement in the income of herdsmen in these regions. This is particularly pertinent in China, where the eco-fragility of pastoral regions coincides with the modest income of herdsmen, underscoring the critical importance of herdsmen’s finance. To foster sustainable progress in these regions, financial backing is imperative to elevate herdsmen’s income and to induce a transformative shift in production approaches and industrial layout, paving the way for the sustainable development of these pastoral regions.

Uncountable group of continuous transformations of unit segment preserving tails of Q_2-representation of numbers

We consider two-base Q2-representation of numbers of segment [0;1] which is defined by two bases q0 ∈ (0;1), q1 = 1-q0 and alphabet A={0,1}, (αn) ∈ A × A × .... It is a generalization of classic binary representation q0=1/2. In the article we prove that the set of all continuous bijections of segment [0;1] preserving "tails" of Q2-representation of numbers forms an uncountable non-abelian group with respect to composition such that it is a subgroup of the group of continuous transformations preserving frequencies of digits of Q2-representation of numbers. Construction of such transformations (bijections) is based on the left and right shift operators for digits of Q2-representation of numbers.
