Cerebrospinal Fluid Proteome Map Reveals Molecular Signatures of Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a complex neurovascular disorder characterized by repetitive thunderclap headaches and reversible cerebral vasoconstriction. The pathophysiological mechanism of this mysterious syndrome remains underexplored and there is no clinically available molecular biomarker. To provide insight into the pathogenesis of RCVS, this study reported the first landscape of dysregulated proteome of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in patients with RCVS (n = 21) compared to the age- and sex-matched controls (n = 20) using data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry. Protein–protein interaction and functional enrichment analysis were employed to construct functional protein networks using the RCVS proteome. An RCVS-CSF proteome library resource of 1054 proteins was established, which illuminated large groups of upregulated proteins enriched in the brain and blood-brain barrier (BBB). Personalized RCVS-CSF proteomic profiles from 17 RCVS patients and 20 controls reveal proteomic changes involving the complement system, adhesion molecules, and extracellular matrix, which may contribute to the disruption of BBB and dysregulation of neurovascular units. Moreover, an additional validation cohort validated a panel of biomarker candidates and a two-protein signature predicted by machine learning model to discriminate RCVS patients from controls with an area under the curve of 0.997. This study reveals the first RCVS proteome and a potential pathogenetic mechanism of BBB and neurovascular unit dysfunction. It also nominates potential biomarker candidates that are mechanistically plausible for RCVS, which may offer potential diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities beyond the clinical manifestations.

Improve Thermal Performance and comfortable Design of Public Library Located in Middle Eastern Regions Facing Drastic Climate Change

Abstract Public libraries have important functions as information hubs and cultural institutions, drawing a variety of user groups. As user experience, contentment and general productivity are greatly improved by the thermal comfort of interior spaces, libraries are committed to providing suitable temperatures for both human thermal comfort and for preserving books. The standards for the handling and care of library resources established by the International Federation of Library Associations in 1999 specify the need for constant temperature and humidity in the safekeeping of library items. The recommended temperature range for sedentary activities including reading, is 20-22 °C, comfortable for people in cold regions. Hot climates prevalent in Middle Eastern nations, challenges achieving thermal comfort for library visitors. According to ASHRAE Standard 55 (2020), the most comfortable temperature in hot and humid environments is 24°C, +/- 1°C. Three methods were used in this study. First, this study gives an overview of the history of libraries in Middle East regions, and analyses the development of design elements in controlling temperatures and book preservation of this region’s libraries before and after air conditioning. Second, comparative case studies of Qatar National Library and King Fahad Library showcase differing thermal comfort approaches. Third, interviews with the two libraries users and administrators. Interior temperature, design choice and clothing preferences of patrons are examined in relation to thermal comfort in libraries. The results show that public libraries in hot regions often struggle to provide the temperatures needed to give user comfort and preserve books. This study identifies factors and design approaches to improve the thermal comfort and sustainability of Middle Eastern libraries, intersecting quantitative factors (air temperature and flow) with qualitative factors (colour, material finish and architectural and interior design). It exposes tensions between these approaches to book conservation and user comfort, to develop guidelines for effective design strategies in libraries.

A Model Based on Fuzzy Neural Networks for Sharing Digital Educational Resources in English

The ineffective digitization of core English course resources, due to limited autonomy, fragmentation, and inadequate management, has prompted the development of digital teacher libraries using multimedia and Internet technologies. Fuzzy neural networks (FNNs), combining fuzzy and neural network controls, have emerged as a promising approach for mathematical modeling. This paper presents an FNN-based model for sharing digital English educational resources and proposes an effective guidance mechanism for sharing digital science education resources. Experimental results show that the FNN outperforms the Apriori algorithm in training sample error by 0.02069 and reduces running time by 0.0034 seconds on average. This indicates the FNN's superior approximation capabilities with appropriate initial fuzzy rules. Consequently, the FNN-based model enhances the value and quality of educational resources, expands the capacity of information resource libraries, and effectively mitigates the creation of low-quality resources.

بررسی تأثیر قومیت بر ساختار سیاسی افغانستان با رویکرد لیبرالیسم سیاسی جان رالز (۲۰۰۱-۲۰۲۲(

Afghanistan is known as a multi-ethnic country where different ethnic groups coexist. The political structures in Afghanistan have always been influenced by ethnicity throughout its historical development. Although it is rare to find a country with a homogeneous ethnic fabric, the ethnic diversity is not only seen as a challenge but also as a symbol of cultural pluralism. After 2001, when the political structure of Afghanistan was manifested based on modern values in the constitution, it provided a good opportunity for political elites to overcome historical mistakes and adhere to those values. However, ethnicity and ethnic values were considered superior and older compared to the new values. The main question is how the multi-ethnic society in Afghanistan has influenced the political structure in the past two decades. Apparently, the multi-ethnic society of Afghanistan has had a negative impact on the implementation of the political structure in Afghanistan in recent decades. The research aims to examine how the role of the multi-ethnic society has influenced the political structure of Afghanistan in the past two decades and to what extent the convergence and divergence of political elites were affected by ethnic backgrounds. This article uses John Rawls' theoretical framework and analytical-descriptive method, as well as library resources, scientific journals, and reputable articles. The findings indicate that the multi-ethnic society has had a negative impact on the implementation of the political structure based on democratic values, and the foundation of the political structure manifested in the constitution could not be concretely and deeply exemplified by ethnic attitudes towards politics.

An Analysis of the Legal Dimensions of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Legal Effects of Iran's Accession to the SCO from an International Law Perspective

The focus of this study is to analyze the legal aspects of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and the implications of Iran joining the organization, with a specific focus on international law. The research employs a descriptive-analytical approach, utilizing various library resources to gather information. The SCO places a high priority on regional security, with all members committed to implementing the SCO treaty's provisions on countering terrorism, separatism, and extremism. Unlike other organizations such as NATO and the Warsaw Pact, the SCO values equal cooperation among its members and does not impose the ideologies of major powers on smaller countries. The organization promotes pluralism in participation and encourages bilateral and multilateral cooperation in areas such as commerce and economics. The Shanghai Declaration emphasizes the need to utilize the extensive potential and opportunities in these fields, with talks on trade and investment facilitation taking place within the SCO framework. Efforts to create regional security through peaceful resolution of all disputes in accordance with UN resolutions, concerns about the situation in Afghanistan as a serious threat to regional and global peace and stability, and opening political dialogue to promote mutual trust and greater multilateral cooperation are among the principles of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

Perceptual model for semantic representation of design futures practice cases: Towards the development of a design futures repository

Various media and forms of cases or works have promoted the development and dissemination of "Design Futures", making empirical research focusing on practical cases not only valuable but also urgently needed. While heuristic case libraries enhance creativity and efficiency in traditional design, a resource library for Design Futures has not been established. To fill this gap, our preliminary work includes clarifying the perception of cases by different practitioners through semantic representation to establish a perceptual model. In this paper, we propose the typology of Design Futures practice cases. Using desktop research, expert selection, and empirical methods, we constructed a semantic perceptual space and further extracted it into four categories. Combining multivariate statistical techniques and related visualization methods, we examined the distinctions and relationships between semantic words, dimensions, cases, and their types. We have finally established the perceptual model for semantic representation of design futures practice cases, with 4 main perception dimensions (critical, wellbeing, conceptual, and technological) and 13 key semantics, and explored in depth the implications these semantics may contain individually. We further explored the potential of the model in developing a case library. In summary, our research findings provide a framework for representing, retrieving, and evaluating practice cases and support the development of a Design Futures Repository.

Impact and implementation of UNESCO’s Recommendation on Open Educational Resources in academic libraries: SPARC Europe Case Study

This paper analyses the role of libraries in the development of Open Educational Resources (OER) and, more specifically, the impact and level of implementation of UNESCO’s (2019) OER Recommendation in Higher Education libraries. This study, the result of a joint undertaking between a national R&D project and SPARC Europe, is based on an online survey, disseminated amongst the European Network of Open Education Librarians (ENOEL) and uses a descriptive research methodology. The results highlight the implementation actions being taken by university libraries (n = 136) in each of the five areas of action of UNESCO’s Recommendation. We find that the main contributions are being made in the areas of capacity building and Open Education policies, but that considerable work has yet to be done in terms of promoting inclusiveness and the sustainability of OER. Thus, the full implementation of UNESCO’s recommendation requires a greater commitment on the part of librarians to joint actions undertaken via international networks and projects, as well as greater institutional commitment and the building of interdepartmental alliances.

Review of Documents from the Russian State Library and the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art, Regarding the Defense of Graduate Art Projects (Painting, Sculpture, Graphic Series, etc.), Also Known as “Creative Theses”, by Artists Pursuing the Degree of Candidate of Art History in the US SR

According to Soviet Ministry of Higher Education Order No. 524 dated September 30, 1946, “On Measures to Enhance the Training of Graduate Students in Art Institutes”, the academic degree of Candidate of Art History could be conferred upon “an art practitioner, aspiring artist, for an artwork in their specialty, accompanied by the presentation and exhibition of the graduation work, along with pertinent drawings, studies and sketches”. Documents from the collections of the Russian State Library (RSL) and the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (RSALA) contain records of the defenses of graduate art projects (easel painting, monumental painting, sculpture, graphic series, theatrical decorative design), also known as “creative theses”, held from 1946 to 1956. Twenty-two defenses took place at the Repin Institute of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture, while twenty-one were held at the Surikov Moscow State Art Institute. The research conducted on library and archival resources enables the introduction of previously unstudied documents into scholarly discourse regarding the history of Soviet fine arts, the procedures for awarding academic degrees in the USSR, and creative postgraduate studies in the country's leading art institutes. These dissertations explore important themes of Soviet history and social life, many of which hold undeniable cultural and historical significance, with some being included in the Museum Fund of the Russian Federation.
