Mimicking the Shape and Function of the ClC Chloride Channel Selective Pore by Combining a Molecular Hourglass Shape with Anion-π Interactions.

ClC is the main family of natural chloride channel proteins that transport Cl- across the cell membrane with high selectivity. The chloride transport and selectivity are determined by the hourglass-shaped pore and the filter located in the central and narrow region of the pore. Artificial unimolecular channel that mimics both the shape and function of the ClC selective pore is attractive, because it could provide simple molecular model to probe the intriguing mechanism and structure-function relevance of ClC. Here we elaborated upon the concept of molecular hourglass plus anion-π interactions for this purpose. The concept was validated by experimental results of molecular hourglasses using shape-persistent 1,3-alternate tetraoxacalix[2]arene[2]triazine as the central macrocyclic skeleton to control the conductance and selectivity, and anion-π interactions as the driving force to facilitate the chloride dehydration and movement along the channel.

TÜRKİYE’DE AFET YÖNETİMİ VE YENİ BİR MODEL ÖNERİSİ: KARDEŞ ŞEHİR AFET YÖNETİM MODELİ

The concept of interaction, which has found more space in international relations with globalization, has also expanded the field of action of local governments. Sister city relations are among the international collaborations of local governments representing cities, regions and states. Managers of Washington-Hyogo, California-Osaka and Hawaii-Hiroshima sister cities in the USA and Japan and managers various regional non-governmental organizations made some recommendations at the end of the three-day conference process where lessons learned and best practices on planning, preparation and response to natural disasters were shared. Taking these recommendations into consideration, sister city relations were considered as a disaster management model in the context of local governments at national level. In the model, city pairings were made by taking into consideration factors such as fault line, population, cities not being close to each other, geographical location, etc. The main purpose of these pairings is to prevent managerial uncertainty and other weaknesses that may arise in the event of a possible disaster and to take action quickly. With the sister city disaster management model, it is thought that sharing the knowledge and experiences of sister cities regarding past disasters among themselves will provide significant contributions to the cities.

A Mathematical Model to Assess the Impact of Tourism Activities on the Economy of Vendors at Bukit Maras, Terengganu, Malaysia

Bukit Maras is one of the recreational spots that has been identified as having great potential to be promoted as a tourist destination in Terengganu. In this study, it is intriguing to see the whether the tourism activities that occurred at Bukit Maras have a positive impact on the economic activity of the local vendors from the point of view of mathematical modelling. The objective of this paper is to formulate a mathematical model in the form of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), inspired by the concept of symbiosis interaction in ecology. Further, some mathematical analyses of this model such as finding the steady states and their stability, were also proved. In addition, some numerical simulations are performed using Maple software to produce the plots of time series as well as phase portraits. To prove the positive impact of the presence of tourists on the economics of vendors, a parameter called the spending rate by the tourists was varied. The results showed that as the spending rate increased, it was expected that the number of vendors would increase too. This indicated that the economics of the vendors have improved. Moreover, it is also predicted that the number of tourists will continuously increase in the future, provided that the attractiveness factors of the Bukit Maras are well preserved. These results are significant for the local government to provide more funding for the development of Bukit Maras so that both tourists and vendors can be sustained in the future.

Unique Possibilities of Dynamic Metal–Polymer Interactions in Selective Hydrogenation

AbstractRationally designed polymers can function as supports or promoters for metal catalysts, imparting distinct catalytic properties in selective hydrogenation. With strongly metal–ligating functional groups, mobile polymer chains can spontaneously decorate the metal catalyst surfaces under mild conditions, forming stable metal–polymer interfaces. We have termed this phenomenon ‘dynamic metal–polymer interaction (DMPI),’ which can be roughly considered as an organic version of the strong metal–support interaction (SMSI) concept. The polymer chains that dynamically interact with the metal surface can control the adsorption of reactants and products through competitive adsorption, significantly improving selectivity and catalyst stability. One of the remarkable advantages of using polymers as catalytic materials is that their molecular structures, such as molecular weight, crystallinity, and chemical functionality, can be tailored using rich organic chemistry. This, in turn, allows us to precisely tune the metal–polymer interactions and catalytic properties. In this Concept, we will discuss how metal–polymer interfaces can be designed and utilized for selective hydrogenation, with a particular emphasis on the industrially relevant acetylene partial hydrogenation reaction.

Технологии взаимодействия государства с молодёжью в 2000–2020-е

The relevance of this article is related to the development of interaction between the state and youth in 2000–2020s and is determined by the development of patriotic state youth policy implemented in the conditions of a special military operation. Until the end of the 2010s the communication of state bodies with youth was much less active, and the interaction was more hierarchical. The author of the article examines the evolution of com-munication technologies of public authorities with young people in the 2000s and 2020s. This article is both theoretical and applied in nature. That is, the theoretical aspect consists in analyzing the concepts of interaction between the state and youth. The applied aspect consists in a brief analysis of the activities of public opinion leaders and youth social movements that disseminate pro-state information agenda.

Temporal Interactions between Maintenance of Cerebral Cortex Thickness and Physical Activity from an Individual Person Micro-Longitudinal Perspective and Implications for Precision Medicine.

Maintenance of brain structure is essential for neurocognitive health. Precision medicine has interests in understanding how maintenance of an individual person's brain, including cerebral cortical structure, interacts with lifestyle factors like physical activity. Cortical structure, including cortical thickness, has recognized relationships with physical activity, but concepts of these relationships come from group, not individual, focused findings. Whether or how group-focused concepts apply to an individual person is fundamental to precision medicine interests but remains unclear. This issue was studied in a healthy man using concurrent micro-longitudinal tracking of magnetic resonance imaging-defined cortical thickness and accelerometer-defined steps/day over six months. These data permitted detailed examination of temporal relationships between thickness maintenance and physical activity at an individual level. Regression analyses revealed graded significant and trend-level temporal interactions between preceding activity vs. subsequent thickness maintenance and between preceding thickness maintenance vs. subsequent activity. Interactions were bidirectional, delayed/prolonged over days/weeks, positive, bilateral, directionally asymmetric, and limited in strength. These novel individual-focused findings in some ways are predicted, but in other ways remain unaddressed or undetected, by group-focused work. We suggest that individual-focused concepts of temporal interactions between maintenance of cortical structure and activity can provide needed new insight for personalized tailoring of physical activity, cortical, and neurocognitive health.

Meanings and implications of love: review of the scholarship of love with a sub-Saharan focus

Love, as an emotion, binds people together in social practices that are contingent on culture, historical processes, and social trends. As such, love is a perfect site to study how people interact and to understand how power, equality, and sustainability play out in human relations. Despite its importance and much attention, love as a concept and form of interaction is not fully understood, especially not across cultures. In our research, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa, we show that alongside other emotions, love matters not only for passion in life or for wellbeing but also for improved resource use, increased gender equality, and, subsequently, higher food security and sovereignty – all signs of sustainability. While love is understood as a universal human phenomenon, definitions and expressions of love vary across time and cultures. Since love drives human interaction in many intertwined ways there is no single best way to define it. Yet, scholars have advanced the theory of love by identifying at least 40 major distinct but interdependent ‘love constructs’ fitting into the four main dimensions of affection, closeness, compassion, and commitment (Karandashev et al. 2022). In parallel to this and based on our review of the scholarship of love in a subset of 45 relevant academic articles from an 80-article systematic literature search of ‘love’ we find four core (and partly overlapping) types of how to speak about love as an expression and experience. These include: 1/ contextual love influenced by culture, space, and time; 2/ romantic and compassionate love; 3/ transactional love; 4/ post-humanist perspectives and ‘harmony love’. Finally, we examine love in relation to power; love-related emotions; and how understandings of love and culture impact gender relations.

Weak determinism and the computational consequences of interaction

Recent work has claimed that (non-tonal) phonological patterns are subregular (Heinz 2011a,b, 2018; Heinz and Idsardi 2013), occupying a delimited proper subregion of the regular functions—the weakly deterministic (WD) functions (Heinz and Lai 2013; Jardine 2016). Whether or not it is correct (McCollum et al. 2020a), this claim can only be properly assessed given a complete and accurate definition of WD functions. We propose such a definition in this article, patching unintended holes in Heinz and Lai’s (2013) original definition that we argue have led to the incorrect classification of some phonological patterns as WD. We start from the observation that WD patterns share a property that we call unbounded semiambience, modeled after the analogous observation by Jardine (2016) about non-deterministic (ND) patterns and their unbounded circumambience. Both ND and WD functions can be broken down into compositions of deterministic (subsequential) functions (Elgot and Mezei 1965; Heinz and Lai 2013) that read an input string from opposite directions; we show that WD functions are those for which these deterministic composands do not interact in a way that is familiar from the theoretical phonology literature. To underscore how this concept of interaction neatly separates the WD class of functions from the strictly more expressive ND class, we provide analyses of the vowel harmony patterns of two Eastern Nilotic languages, Maasai and Turkana, using bimachines, an automaton type that represents unbounded bidirectional dependencies explicitly. These analyses make clear that there is interaction between deterministic composands when (and only when) the output of a given input element of a string is simultaneously dependent on information from both the left and the right: ND functions are those that involve interaction, while WD functions are those that do not.

ESG: Transformation of interpretations

Purpose: to identify directions of transformation in the ESG interpretations in the system of interrelated scientific conceptions. Methodology: the study is based on the interpretation of the abbreviation ESG as a term element that forms ESG issues acting as specific ESG factors. The consideration of these factors meaningfully transforms the conceptions that explain the interaction between business, society and nature. Findings: acknowledging ESG factors fills new meanings in the content of the following conceptions: responsible investment, risk management and business responsibility in general. Also, it stimulates the reinterpretation of the “umbrella” conception of interaction between business, society and nature including the conception which exists in the form of ideological preference. Originality and contribution: the work identifies the directions and presents an original model for transforming the interpretations of ESG in the relevant interrelated scientific conceptions that explain the interaction between business, society and nature. The incorrectness of using the term “ESG conception” in scientific research is substantiated.

The Interaction between Dramatic Writing and the Construction of National Identity in the Southern National Society Period

Abstract Starting from the background of the development of Chinese and Western cultures, this paper analyzes the textual themes and interprets the ideas of the dramas created during the period of the Nanguosha. Taking into account the specificity of the era and the national perception of Nanguosha’s theatrical works, the concept of theatrical cultural interaction is put forward to analyze the basis of cultural interaction in the cultural acceptance behavior of drama. Audience interaction behavior and audience emotional intelligence are chosen as intermediary and moderating variables respectively, and a four-variable research model is constructed for the creation of Nanguosha’s dramas, the construction of national identity, audience interaction behavior and audience emotional intelligence. Introduce the causal mediation effect model based on Nanguosha theater culture, explain the symbolic variables, and discuss the estimation method for the causal mediation effect. Combine the empirical data with the descriptive analysis and correlation analysis of the variables, and carry out the main effect test, mediation effect test, moderating effect test, and moderated mediation effect test of the research hypotheses in order to verify the interaction of the variables. After introducing the mediator variable of audience interaction behavior, the regression coefficient of Nanguosha’s drama creation on national identity construction is β =0.198, P<0.01, which confirms that there is a relationship of positive influence of Nanguosha’s drama creation on national identity construction, and that the audience interaction behavior plays a partly mediating role in the process of Nanguosha’s drama creation’s role in national identity construction.

Blockchain-based key-value store to support dynamic smart contract interaction in the agricultural sector

<span>In the era of supply chain digitalization, adaptability and transparency are key to enhancing efficiency and trust. Although blockchain technology and smart contract offer innovative solutions, the limitations of static smart contract hinder their full potential. This article introduces a new approach using dynamic smart contract capable of managing various commodities in the supply chain with a key-value store. While this advantage provides flexibility, it still poses challenges in managing increasingly complex interactions among various actors, especially when the number of commodities increases. To address these challenges, this study introduces the concept of smart contract interaction that facilitates the automation and management of interactions with high efficiency. The implementation results show that smart contract interaction outperforms conventional approaches in terms of speed, resilience, and ease of management. Through the combination of dynamic smart contract and smart contract interaction, demonstrating how efficiency, transparency, adaptability, and scalability can be achieved in the supply chain, providing new insights into the utilization of blockchain technology for the modern industry.</span>

Комунікаційна взаємодія органів досудового розслідування в Україні: стан і напрями поліпшення

The article discusses the theoretical and practical problems of communication interaction of prejudicial investigation bodies in Ukraine. The authors are the first to define the concept of communication interaction, its essence and components. On the basis of practical aspects of communication of prejudicial investigation bodies, the authors have developed methods for improving management and improving such communications. The system of prejudicial investigation bodies is characterized, including: the National Police, the State Bureau of Investigation, the Security Service of Ukraine, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine. In the course of the study, the main communication tools used were identified and new ones were proposed. The main communication problems that arise in the prejudicial investigation bodies were identified as follows: 1) lack of a unified approach to office work. Not all institutions use the electronic document management system (EDMS): in some it is fully implemented, in others it is absent, and in yet others there is a duplication of paper and electronic formats of documents; 2) lack of a system for evaluating the efficiency of communication interaction; 3) vague formulation and practical implementation of the conception of strategic communications. Strategic communications as a method should accompany the activities of prejudicial investigation bodies at all stages of their activities and communication, as it is critically important for the preservation and enhancement of statehood and the effective performance of their functional duties and tasks, especially in the context of the ongoing full-scale military invasion and martial law. Based on the practical results of the study of the efficiency of communication interaction of prejudicial investigation bodies in Ukraine, the authors propose the following recommendations: 1) unification of document flow; 2) use of the developed methodology for assessing the efficiency of communication interaction of prejudicial investigation bodies; 3) theoretical development and practical implementation of an approach to communication management based on strategic communications.

Social coordination of individuals with disabilities in the context of sustainable development of an inclusive reality

The article actualises the need to search for and form a correct conceptual and categorical apparatus that serves as a methodological and theoretical basis for adequate representation, comprehension, interpretation and understanding of the whole range of problems of inclusive society formation. It is shown that the phenomenological analysis of various aspects of the everyday world of the inclusive society using the concepts of social coordination, social partnership and interaction is of particular interest. It is postulated that the context of the study of inclusive everyday life implies not only the representation and description of the life and local history of an individual with health limitations (HL) within the framework of social everyday life, but the emphasis is shifted to the analysis of multilevel transformations and transformations of inclusive reality in the course of everyday activities of various social groups. The aim of the article is to systematically investigate the concept of social coordination in the segments of manifestation of subjective time of an individual with HL, which makes it possible to consider the inclusive society as a special social group of people with HL from the position of interpretation of everyday inclusive reality. The methodological foundations of the study are determined by modern philosophical, pedagogical, and sociological sources that reflect the peculiarities of understanding, comprehension, and interpretation of various segments of the study of inclusive society, taking into account the conceptual apparatus of analytical philosophy and social phenomenology.

D-Tour: Semi-Automatic Generation of Interactive Guided Tours for Visualization Dashboard Onboarding.

Onboarding a user to a visualization dashboard entails explaining its various components, including the chart types used, the data loaded, and the interactions available. Authoring such an onboarding experience is time-consuming and requires significant knowledge and little guidance on how best to complete this task. Depending on their levels of expertise, end users being onboarded to a new dashboard can be either confused and overwhelmed or disinterested and disengaged. We propose interactive dashboard tours (D-Tours) as semi-automated onboarding experiences that preserve the agency of users with various levels of expertise to keep them interested and engaged. Our interactive tours concept draws from open-world game design to give the user freedom in choosing their path through onboarding. We have implemented the concept in a tool called D-TOUR PROTOTYPE, which allows authors to craft custom interactive dashboard tours from scratch or using automatic templates. Automatically generated tours can still be customized to use different media (e.g., video, audio, and highlighting) or new narratives to produce an onboarding experience tailored to an individual user. We demonstrate the usefulness of interactive dashboard tours through use cases and expert interviews. Our evaluation shows that authors found the automation in the D-Tour Prototype helpful and time-saving, and users found the created tours engaging and intuitive.

Allergy and immunotoxicology in preventive and clinical medicine from theory to practice: Environmental factors in Bronchial Asthma

According to the gene-environment interactions (GEi) concept, the mechanism of health impairment can be explained by genetic factors, environmental factors, or their interaction. Physical and mental health effects resulting from environmental exposure may be classified either as toxicity, immune response, and allergic reaction. Moreover, despite the already established therapeutic approaches to bronchial asthma and decreasing mortality due to bronchial asthma, patients with difficult and severe asthma are increasing in number. This review outlines recent topics in the field of allergies, focusing on asthma. Living environment-derived pollutants and their involvement in the pathogenesis of asthma and its exacerbation, referred to here as an exposome concept, comprises the three domains of internal, specific external, and general external. Living environment-derived pollutants include exposure to pollutants in workplaces, climate change, air pollution, microplastics, tobacco smoke, biodiversity change and loss, changing dietary habits, and the microbiome. These are associated with the modernization, urbanization, and globalization of human society. Although many novel compounds are currently available, their harmful health effects, such as allergy, are not thoroughly understood. Hence, the means to mitigate these are unknown. Dietary changes from a traditional diet rich in fish to a Western-style diet are considered critical environmental factors and therefore, associated with an increased prevalence of allergies. Cytokines, including TSLP, IL-25, and IL-33, released from the airway epithelium in response to various triggers (exposure to diverse environmental factors) are known as alarmins. Anti-alarmin antibodies are a promising therapeutic approach against severe and difficult allergic disorders. Collaboration between hospitals and clinics and occupational and clinical medicine is imperative for treating and managing severe asthma. In addition to avoiding environmental exposure, understanding the pathogenesis and exacerbation of asthma is essential for future research in the field of allergy and immunotoxicology.

Examining interaction in mathematical activities from different theoretical perspectives: The registers of semiotic representations and Habermas’ construct of rationality

This study aims to examine and compare how Duval’s theory of registers of semiotic representations and Habermas’ construct of rationality approach the concept of interaction in mathematics classrooms. Duval defines conceptual understanding as the construction and use of representations of mathematical objects and states that students interact through representations in mathematical activities. Researchers adapting Habermas’ construct of rationality into mathematics education explain the interaction students engage in during mathematical activities by examining their tendencies to use representations of mathematical objects correctly and purposefully, and to communicate this process in a comprehensible way to others. It is noteworthy that both theories address student interaction with peers and teachers in mathematical activities but approach this concept from different perspectives. This study is focused on how these two theories can be used together based on the networking of theories and strategies to analyze interaction in mathematics classrooms. The results indicate that there are critical connections between these theories and that using them together to analyze the interaction students establish through the construction and use of representations can yield more detailed insights for mathematics teachers and researchers.

Metaverse and Museum: a Case Study

The Metaverse concept has developed so rapidly in recent years that it has also reached the cultural sector by defining new ways of visiting museums, archaeological parks, exhibitions and other events. The objective of this research paper is to present the experience conducted with the MAV - Museo dell’Artigianato Valdostano located in Fènis in Valle d’Aosta, which saw the design and implementation within the Metaverse of an exhibition space containing digital artistic artifacts obtained by digitizing real ones. The purpose of the virtual museum is to create a complementary environment to the real one, expanding its potential for enjoyment and enhancing its contents globally. In this paper, an attempt was first made to define, through a study of the state of the art, which technologies underlie the Metaverse and which make the visit a realistic and immersive virtual experience. Then, the methodology for defining the exhibition space and its art objects was identified based on the studies conducted. As a first step, the objects to be displayed in the virtual museum were digitized and modelled, through dedicated software, using laser scanner-based scanning methodologies. Once the digital element was obtained, the virtual museum environment was modelled within which the objects were placed. Next, an in-depth study of the interaction between humans, space, and objects was conducted to study how the avatar, guided by the user, relates within a virtual space, and based on the feedback provided by the users’ use of the space, the final organization of the museum arrived. At this stage, the fundamental concept of interaction emerged, which was implemented and highlighted by applying motion and audio triggers to make the environment more immersive. For optimal viewing of the space, while also being accessible through classic devices such as smartphones or PCs, a six-degree-of-freedom visor was used to accentuate the sense of presence within the environment.

Path planning optimization for swine manure‐cleaning robots through enhanced slime mold algorithm with cellular automata

AbstractOne of the primary challenges for robotic manure cleaners in pig farming is to plan the shortest path to designated cleaning points under specified conditions with minimal processing cost and time, while avoiding collisions. However, pigs are randomly distributed in actual pig farms, which obstructs the robots' movement and complicates the rapid determination of optimal solutions. To address these issues, this study introduces the concept of interaction among cellular automaton cell neighborhoods and proposes the Cellular Automata Slime Mold Algorithm (CASMA). This enhanced slime mold algorithm accelerates convergence speed and improves search accuracy. To validate its effectiveness, CASMA was compared with four metaheuristic algorithms (ACO, FA, PSO, and WPA) through performance tests and simulated experiments. Results demonstrate that in complex pigsty environments with varying numbers of pigs, CASMA reduces average step consumption by 8.03%, 1.61%, 0.99%, and 4.26% compared with these algorithms and saves processing time by averages of 13.20%, 20.11%, 10.86%, and 6.4%, respectively. In addition, in dynamic obstacle experiments, CASMA achieved average time savings of 48.27% and 56.28% compared with A* and TS, respectively, while reducing step consumption. Overall, CASMA enhances the efficiency of manure‐cleaning robots in pig farms, thereby improving animal welfare.

Interactive Mechanisms to Improve Service Innovation Among Sports Clubs: A Consumer Perspective

Value co-creation for service innovation is a rapidly developing concept in the current competitive market. Prior studies emphasize the conceptual aspects of the value co-creation, with limited research focusing on the interactive effects between firms and their customers created in the process of value co-creation. We propose a framework for synthesizing the interactive concepts associated with service innovation based on the service-dominant logic. We recruited participants (N = 448) from 11 sports clubs in Iran. Results indicated that openness and consumer engagement facilitate value co-creation, which in turn leads to perceived service innovation. Furthermore, perceived brand interactivity moderated the mediating role of value co-creation in the relationship between consumer engagement and perceived service innovation. Results from this research suggest openness and consumer engagement are key antecedents of value co-creation and highlight the significance of perceived brand interactivity and value co-creation in promoting service innovation at sports clubs.
