PhieDBEs: a DBD-containing, PAM-flexible, high-efficiency dual base editor toolbox with wide targeting scope for use in plants.

Dual base editors (DBEs) enable simultaneous A-to-G and C-to-T conversions, expanding mutation types. However, low editing efficiency and narrow targeting range limit the widespread use of DBEs in plants. The single-strand DNA binding domain of RAD51 DBD can be fused to base editors to improve their editing efficiency. However, it remains unclear how the DBD affects dual base editing performance in plants. In this study, we generated a series of novel plant DBE-SpGn tools consisting of nine constructs using the high-activity cytidine deaminase evoFERNY, adenosine deaminase TadA8e and DBD in various fusion modes with the PAM-flexible Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpCas9) nickase variant SpGn (with NG-PAM). By analysing their editing performance on 48 targets in rice, we found that DBE-SpGn constructs containing a single DBD and deaminases located at the N-terminus of SpGn exhibited the highest editing efficiencies. Meanwhile, constructs with deaminases located at the C-terminus and/or multiple DBDs failed to function normally and exhibited inhibited editing activity. We identified three particularly high-efficiency dual base editors (C-A-SpGn, C-A-D-SpGn and A-C-D-SpGn), named PhieDBEs (Plant high-efficiency dual base editors), capable of producing efficient dual base conversions within a narrow editing window (M5 ~ M9, M = A/C). The editing efficiency of C-A-D-SpGn was as high as 95.2% at certain target sites, with frequencies of simultaneous C-to-T and A-to-G conversions as high as 81.0%. In summary, PhieDBEs (especially C-A-D-SpGn) can produce diverse mutants and may prove useful in a wide variety of applications, including plant functional genomics, precise mutagenesis, directed evolution and crop genetic improvement, among others.

대학생의 생성형 AI 이용경험에 관한 현상학적 연구

Objectives This study aims to explore the direction of Generative AI literacy education through the exploration of college students' experiences using Generative AI. Methods For this purpose, written and face-to-face in-depth interviews were conducted with 12 university stu-dents (5 male students and 7 female students) and analyzed by applying Colaizzi's phenomenological method, which consists of seven steps to explore the nature of common experiences rather than the individual participants. Results As a result of analyzing the interview data, 5 semantic themes and 14 sub-themes were derived under the essence of the experience called ‘co-evolution’. The five semantic themes consist of ‘getting to know new media’, ‘useful but dangerous existence’, ‘sharing roles with Generative AI’, ‘adapting to changes in the learning environment’, and ‘seeking a life that coexists with Generative AI’. The 14 semantic themes consisted of ‘matching up with Generative AI’, ‘creating my own method of using prompts’, ‘limitation of inanimate object’, ‘repeating unnecessary learning activities’, ‘incomplete learning assistant’, ‘my own tutor’, ‘reducing learning time’, ‘setting my own scope of use’, ‘another team member’, ‘passive new media user’, ‘recognition of reality and acceptance of new media’, ‘improving the competence to use Generative AI’, ‘selecting Generative AI according to the purpose of use’, and ‘competition with the human-specific domain’. Conclusions The discussion points on the direction of Generative AI literacy education for university students are as follows. First, it provides education in which prompts can be effectively input. Second, it provides guidelines so that the Generative AI can be used as an auxiliary tool rather than the main tool for learning. Third, it provides education on the characteristics of the Generative AI. Fourth, it enhances education on usage ethics.

A Plantar Pressure Detection and Gait Analysis System Based on Flexible Triboelectric Pressure Sensor Array and Deep Learning.

Gait detection is essential for the assessment of human health status and early diagnosis of diseases. The current gait analysis systems are bulky, limited in the scope of use, and cause interference with the movement of the measured person. Hence, it is necessary to develop a wearable gait detection system that is soft, breathable, lightweight, and self-powered. Here, a plantar pressure sensor array and gait analysis system based on a flexible triboelectric pressure sensor (FTPS) array is developed. Soft, breathable, and wearable electrospinning nanofiber film with excellent triboelectric properties is used as the plantar pressure sensor, achieving a high sensitivity of 45.1 mVkPa-1 in the range of 40-200 kPa and 19.4 mVkPa-1 in the range of 200-400 kpa. 32 FTPSs are integrated into an intelligent insole, which has the characteristics of soft, easy production, good air permeability, long-time stability, no external power supply, and etc. Based on the long short-term memory artificial neural network deep learning model, the accuracy of gait judgment can reach 94.23%. This work provides a feasible solution for real-time gait detection, which will have potential applications in human health assessment and early diagnosis of disease.

06 Eating disorder toolkit 2023: Standards of practice in the primary care setting

Abstract Background Throughout the COVID 19 pandemic, physicians across Canada began to see a 'shadow pandemic' unfold as new diagnosis of eating disorders and hospital admissions for patients with medically unstable eating disorders increased exponentially. As these rates remain high, specialists stressed the importance of the role primary care physicians play in the early recognition, assessment, and diagnosis of eating disorders as a way to improve prognosis. Further, the high volume of patients has resulted in the need to manage patients in the community or engage in collaborative care between the eating disorder specialist and primary care physician. This Eating Disorder Toolkit was created as a knowledge mobilization resource to provide primary care and community providers with Standards of Practice and improve care for eating disorder patients. Objectives 1. Provide an updated and easily readable evidence-based reference tool for PCPs 2. Clarify PCPs role in working with, monitoring, and treating EDs in a shared care model 3. Strive for early diagnosis and connection to care for improved prognosis and decreased morbidity 4. Highlight unique considerations for specific populations 5. Align with the upcoming Eating Disorders Pathway project Design/Methods The first edition of the ED Toolkit was reviewed and based on feedback sought and provided by key partners including PCPs already using the Toolkit, areas of improvement were identified. These included formatting to improve accessibility in the primary care setting, updating the guidelines, and including unique considerations for specific populations. A literature review of current guidelines and practices internationally was completed. Experienced paediatric and adult ED specialists reviewed the material to ensure it was appropriate for clinical practice. Key partners contacted for feedback and collaboration included the Provincial ED Steering Committee, Provincial ED Pathway Project Committee, UBC Continuing Professional Development, and Primary Care physicians. This ensured the resource was meeting PCPs identified needs and was usable in the primary care setting. Edits were made to reflect the feedback received. Finally, the resource was reviewed to ensure alignment with the upcoming Provincial ED Pathway Project. Results The Eating Disorder Toolkit 2023: Standards of Practice in the Primary Care Setting is now available and has been distributed widely across British Columbia. In addition, Kelty Mental Health and Compass, leading resource hubs in the province, host the live document on their sites. Finally, the toolkit is also provided to any health providers upon request to their regional ED clinic. While we have not formally studied the outcome of this resources, anecdotal reports via email and verbal feedback from nurse practitioners, paediatricians, and ED specialists across the province has been positive. Conclusion Eating disorders are complex illnesses associated with significant medical and psychiatric complications. Early recognition and management improves prognosis. Community providers play a crucial role in recognizing and managing these patients, however many do not have expertise in this area. It is hoped that this resource will support PCPs in managing ED patients in British Columbia and there may be a potential scope for use across Canada with adaptations to local guidelines and resources.

Improving the photoswitching performance of a transistor with amorphous metal oxide semiconductor thin film by a gradient annealing approach

Metal oxides are attracting attention as electronic mate rials in research and industry. Thin films of amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (a-IGZO) exhibit low absorbance in the visible spectrum, making them ideal components in transparent electronics. To widen the scope of use for thin film transistor (TFT) devices based on a-IGZO in on-chip sensing applications, photoresponsive behavior has been achieved by proper engineering of the active layers by either introducing a photosensitive top layer or using a method to generate localized states inside the band gap. In this paper, we propose a bilayer structured with the use of thermal annealing of a-IGZO film at different temperatures. Thermal annealing has been shown to improve the electrical performance of the TFT devices because of the improved film quality but negatively affects the photoresponsivity by removing tarp sites that play an important role in both charge generation and photomultiplication via the photogating effect. Therefore, here we propose an a-IGZO film with a high temperature-annealed bottom layer and pristine top layer. The bottom layer plays a vital role in the charge transport behavior, resulting in a low threshold voltage and subthreshold swing similar to the device with a fully annealed film, while the photoresponse of the device is driven by the higher density of gap states in the pristine top layer. This proposed method is advantageous to previously published procedures due to the simplicity of using no additional materials and complex steps to introduce trap sites into the photoactive layer, but only differential annealing temperature.

Improvement of fire safety for viscose fabrics based on phytic acid modified tea polyphenols complexed iron ions

In this work, a multifunctional finishing agent named as PATFe was prepared from phytic acid (PA), tea polyphenols (TP), and Fe3+. The optimum weight ratio of PA to TP was determined by exploring the effect on flame retardant and tensile properties of viscose fabrics. Then, the effects of different concentrations of iron ions on the flame retardant and tensile properties of viscose fabrics were further investigated, and finally, multifunctional viscose fabrics, PATFe-9, were prepared. The system was investigated to confer the multifunctional effects on the flame retardant, bacteriostatic, and UV-resistant properties of viscose fabrics under the condition of lower weight gains (about 6.0 wt%). The limiting oxygen index of PATFe-9 reached 33.7 % with a weight gain of 6.1 wt%, and PATFe-9 had an inhibition effect against Staphylococcus aureus, and the ultraviolet protection factor value reached 67. It is worth noting that the breaking force retention rate of this system reached 100 %, which greatly improves the scope of use and added value of viscose fabrics.

ERGONOMIC AND LOGISTIC ENSURING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COMFORT DURING THE ORGANIZATION OF PASSENGER TRANSPORTATION IN A SMALL-CAPACITY BUS

Purpose. The most important advantage of passenger transport by road is the high quality of transport service, which depends on the organization of the transport process, structural features and technical condition of the rolling stock used and the route, the development of the route network and other factors. Comfort reflects the properties of bus passenger transportation, which lead to the creation of the necessary service conditions and convenience for passengers in the bus, at the start-end and transit points on the basis of regulatory documents approved in the prescribed manner. Features of the design of small-capacity buses in terms of comfort and safety of passenger transportation and provision of proper travel conditions mostly determine the scope of use of buses of this class by types of connections and length of routes. The purpose of the paper is the development of a structural model, based on the analysis of the main factors affecting the determination of the comfort of a small-capacity bus for urban transportation during the transportation of passengers. Methods. The analysis of literary sources showed that indicators of comfort (as well as indicators of information service, speed, timeliness, safety of cargo, safety), which refer to indicators of the quality of passenger transportation, are decisive in this group of indicators. From the point of view of Ukrainian legislation and regulatory framework, the concepts of passenger bus capacity and comfort are analyzed. The main factors that determine the comfort of small-capacity buses for urban transportation during the transportation of passengers are determined. Ensuring the comfort of passenger transportation in a small-capacity city bus is determined by compliance with ergonomic requirements, which, in turn, depends on the design features of the arrangement of the area intended for passengers. Scientific novelty. It is proposed to evaluate the comfort category in the urban public road transport system using a structural model that combines two sets of factors – logistic and ergonomic. The logistic set of factors includes characteristics in time and space, that is, characteristics of comfort outside the means of urban public road transport. The ergonomic set of factors includes characteristics that describe comfort in vehicles. Practical significance. On the basis of this model, possible ways of ensuring ergonomic requirements for the layout of the interior and interior of small-capacity buses for urban passenger transportation are proposed. It was established that the main factors of the redistribution of transport mobility between urban passenger transport and transport for individual use are the insufficient comfort of passenger transport or the insufficient density of the route network.

Effect of GGBFS on the mechanical properties of metakaolin-based self-compacting geopolymer concrete

The focus of this study is the production and testing of a new self-compacting geopolymer concrete（SCGC）. The concrete has excellent self-compacting properties, mechanical properties and environmental advantages, showing great potential for engineering applications. Due to the high specific surface area of metakaolin (MK), it is challenging to produce a self-compacting geopolymer concrete using metakaolin as the main material. A self-compacting geopolymer concrete with excellent properties was produced by partially replacing metakaolin with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS). This innovation enriches the diversity of powder material choices for self-compacting geopolymer concrete. The experimental results showed that the addition of ground granulated blast furnace slag significantly enhanced the filling capacity and interstitial passage capacity and wet packing density of ground granulated self-compacting concrete. The best working performance of the concrete was achieved at 40 % GGBFS replacement. The test data were slump extension of 749 mm, T50 time of 3.23 s, V-funnel test time of 8.2 s, L-box test result of 0.96, and wet packing density of 1.946 g/cm3. With the increase in the replacement rate of the ground granulated blast furnace slag, the compressive strength of self-compacting ground polymer concrete and the split tensile strength showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing. The maximum compressive strength of 55.2 MPa and splitting tensile strength of 4.11 MPa were obtained when the substitution rate of ground granulated blast furnace slag was 20 %. The drying shrinkage of self-compacted geopolymer concrete was significantly increased by the addition of excess ground granulated blast furnace slag. The drying shrinkage was increased by 147 % at 40 % substitution rate compared to 0 % substitution rate. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) tests and thermogravimetric analysis were performed on all samples. At ground granulated blast furnace slag substitution rate of 20 %, a uniform and dense gel structure was formed inside. At 40 % ground granulated blast furnace slag substitution rate, the weight loss of the specimens reached 13.4 %, which was 4.22 % more than the control group with 0 % substitution rate. The results showed that GGBFS effectively promoted the generation of internal cementitious structures in SCGC. This study provides the necessary information for the development of metakaolin-based self-compacting geopolymer concrete and contributes to the popularization of metakaolin-based self-compacting geopolymer concrete. It will also broaden the scope of use of metakaolin in self-compacting geopolymer concrete, which will contribute to the diversification of building materials and the development of the construction industry towards a low-carbon and sustainable future.

К вопросу об эпистемологии, сознании и интеллекте

This paper is devoted to issues of epistemology, which has recently acquired par­ticular relevance in the national philosophy. The role of cultural-historical episte­mology in the modern theory of knowledge is revealed, where the authors hold the idea that knowing the origin and development of knowledge itself, and its cultural conditioning in specific historical experiences contributes to a better un­derstanding of its significance and the scope of use. The authors present their vi­sion of the problem of transition from gnosiology to epistemology as from a strict prescribed methodology to the choice of one’s ways and methods of con­ducting science, where a significant role is given to such disciplines as computer science and logic. In this context, the relationship between consciousness and in­telligence with the theory of knowledge, in particular with cultural-historical epistemology, is also analyzed, since both the philosophy of consciousness and epistemology seek to understand the nature of knowledge and beliefs based on our conscious experience. This approach, considering the influence of social norms, values and cultural traditions on our cognition and thinking, stimulates the development of the theoretical basis of epistemology and its practical appli­cation. The authors conclude that modern research in the field of consciousness and artificial intelligence and their application in the methodology of epistemo­logy contribute not only to rethinking views on the nature of subjectivity but also to establishing the objectivity of our judgments. Ultimately, this leads to the inte­gration of collective and individual consciousness as an important factor in un­derstanding the world and forming scientific knowledge

Green whitening of polyester fabric using fluorescent brightener OB-1 in a mixture of water and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane media

Fluorescent brightening agent OB-1 (OB-1) is often used in plastic goods because of its non-toxic nature, chemical stability, remarkable heat resistance, and light stability. Raw OB-1 is challenging to use in textiles using the exhaustion method. This study used a novel method using raw OB-1 powder to whiten polyester fabric in water and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5). The Taguchi approach investigated the interaction between whitening process parameters such as temperature, OB-1 mass, water: D5 ratio, and treatment time with four levels. The study shows that the temperature and water: D5 ratio during the whitening process significantly affect the whiteness of polyester fabric (P < 0.05), with contribution percentages of 74.2 % and 25.2 %. Subsequently, various analytical techniques were employed, including FTIR, SEM, TGA, and XRD, to characterise the whitened fabric. The findings imply that using water: D5 medium was effective in whitening polyester fabric without causing major alterations to the structure of the PET fabric. The study also examined the fastness of washing and crocking to determine their whitening stability. Overall, polyester fabric whitened with water and D5 medium exhibited satisfactory whitening performance and might be a potential scope for use on a larger scale in developing the sustainable textile industry.

Research on the Use Power Point (PPT) in Junior High School Mathematics Classroom Teaching

Since PowerPoint (hereinafter referred to as PPT) is of great significance to mathematics teaching, more and more attention has been paid to how to use PPT effectively in junior high school mathematics classroom teaching. This paper uses the method of theoretical analysis, through the analysis of the characteristics of PPT, the current teaching situation and the problems existing in students' mathematics learning, combined with the various requirements of the Mathematics Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education (2022 Edition) (hereinafter referred to as The Standards) for junior high school mathematics teaching, puts forward four strategies for using PPT in junior high school mathematics classroom teaching. Through analysis, we can know that PPT is characterized by its powerful presentation function, dynamic presentation effect, lacks of procedural presentation, multiple ways of emphasis, and strong inclusiveness. The current problem of students in mathematics learning is students do not have a firm grasp of basic knowledge and have an inaccurate understanding of many concepts, students' ability to analyze and solve mathematical problems is weak, and they cannot accurately understand the conditions and requirements of the problems, students lack enthusiasm for learning mathematics, and students have improper learning methods and lack the habit of writing on time. The current situation of mathematics classroom teaching is teachers pay too much attention to the teaching of problem-solving methods and calculations and neglect the inspiration and training of problem-solving ideas, teachers' teaching resources are obsolete, and the use of information technology in teaching is inadequate, teachers' teaching methods are rigid and lack diversity and innovation, and the interaction between teachers and students is mostly ineffective and the overall participation of students is low. The standard puts forward specific requirements for the teaching of number and algebra, graphics and geometry, statistics and probability in junior high school. Therefore, through the above analysis, we give the following suggestions: 1. Making full use of the multiple emphasis effect of PPT to highlight different mathematical symbols; 2. Skillfully using the dynamic presentation function of PPT to make the process of mathematical knowledge formation dynamic; 3. Expanding the scope of use of PPT and give full play to the value of PPT in all aspects of teaching; 4. Integrating and collocating a variety of technologies reasonably, and use PPT in a variety of ways to teach mathematics. These strategies can be used for reference by junior high school mathematics teachers in practical teaching.

Dynamic Robust Parameter Design Using Response Surface Methodology based on Generalized Linear Model

Purpose: When designing an input-output system susceptible to noise, engineers assume a functional relation between the input and the output. The Taguchi method, which uses a dynamic, robust parameter design (RPD) to evaluate the robustness of the input-output relation against noise, is employed. This study aims to address extending the scope of use of a dynamic RPD. Methodology/Approach: A target system in a typical dynamic RPD can be interpreted as one in which the relation between the input and the output is a linear model, and the output error follows a normal distribution. However, an actual system often does not conform to this premise. Therefore, we propose a new analysis approach that can realize a more flexible system design by applying a response surface methodology (RSM) based on a generalized linear model (GLM) to dynamic RPD. Findings: The results demonstrate that 1) a robust solution can be obtained using the proposed method even for a typical dynamic RPD system or an actual system, and 2) the target function can be evaluated using an adjustment parameter. Research Limitation/implication: Further analysis is required to determine which factor(s) in the estimated process model largely contribute(s) to changes in the adjustment parameter. Originality/Value of paper: The applicability of typical dynamic RPD is limited. Hence, this study’s analytical process provides engineers with greater design flexibility and deeper insights into dynamic systems across various contexts. Category: Research paper Keywords: robust parameter design; dynamic system; generalized linear model; response surface methodology; Taguchi method

The Role of Assistive Technology in Enabling Older Adults to Achieve Independent Living: Past and Future.

In this viewpoint, we present evidence of a marked increase in the use of assistive technology (AT) by older adults over the last 25 years. We also explain the way in which this use has expanded not only as an increase in terms of the total number of users but also by going beyond the typical scopes of use from its inception in 1999 to reach new categories of users. We outline our opinions on some of the key driving forces behind this expansion, such as population demographic changes, technological advances, and the promotion of AT as a means to enable older adults to achieve independent living. As well as our review of the evolution of AT over the past 25 years, we also discuss the future of AT research as a field and the need for harmonization of terminology in AT research. Finally, we outline how our experience in North Norfolk (notably the United Kingdom's most old age-dependent district) suggests that cocreation may be the key to not only successful research trials in the field of AT but also to the successful sustained adoption of AT beyond its original scope of use.

Effects of Using Laser Technology for Cutting Polymer Films.

In connection with the need to obtain a properly made and cut material and the appearance of the surface layer, new manufacturing technologies were used for tests, namely the laser cutting technology. This article describes the laboratory stand built for the purpose of research, as well as the possibility of using laser cutting on several sample materials (polymer films), together with an indication of the results obtained. The idea was to elaborate on the cutting technology that will be proper for manufacturing the desired type of spacers for ion-exchange membranes separating while maintaining the required level of product quality and chemical purity. The latter criterion was the basic one, due to the scope of use of the manufactured elements. This article also describes the problem encountered during the construction of the stand or during the research. The last part of this article describes the further steps of the research that will be carried out in the future along with a discussion and summary of the research performed. It is important from the point of view of the development of production technology, but also because of the characteristics of materials for the production of surface layers and coatings resistant to mechanical or thermal wear used in industry. The introduction of innovative solutions is also aimed at studying the improvement of the economics of the production of materials that are significant, in particular, for small- and medium-sized enterprises.

Dempster–Shafer theory-based information fusion for natural disaster emergency management: A systematic literature review

By combining with other methods, DST improves its limitations. And in the process to expand their scope of use. Then, it focuses on how to solve the extended theory, practical application dimension and related defects of DST in the field of natural disaster emergency management.

Преступность как фактор детерминации спроса на экономические блага

The article presents an analysis of goods, the demand for which is determined by crime. These benefits are divided into groups depending on the nature of the legality of their origin and scope of use. The authors reflected the mechanism of determination of these benefits with the allocation of active and passive forms of participation in it of crime (subjects of the criminal sector). The criminal ways of forming demand for the products of subjects of the criminal sector (forcible imposition, economic supply, criminal cross-marketing) are highlighted, the negative consequences of the participation of the criminal sector in the formation of demand for economic benefits are reflected, to which the authors attributed the enormous public damage from criminal activity, the destructiveness and danger of products produced in the criminal sector, as well as criminal the nature of the ways in which demand is generated. The conclusion is substantiated that the demand generated by crime for goods that contribute to security is one of its destructive externalities for the socio-economic system and the development of society, associated with the need to divert economic resources from other significant goals of social development. Among the absolutely positive benefits that crime generates, the need for the state to pursue such a social and economic policy that would minimize the determinants of crime is highlighted.

Application of Dimension Extending Technique to Unified Hardening Model

This paper provides the process of incremental constitutive integration for the unified hardening model combined with the transformation stress method. The dimension-extending technique takes the hardening function of the hardening/softening model as the same position as the stress components, so that the constitutive integration of the plasticity can be reduced to an initial value problem of differential–complementarity equations, which is solved using the Gauss–Seidel algorithm-based Projection–Correction for the mixed complementarity problem. The Gauss–Seidel based Projection–Correction algorithm does not require the calculation of the Jacobean matrix of the potential function, making it relatively easy to implement in programming. The unified hardening model is proposed based on the modified Cam–Clay model and the sub-loading surface model, and the elastic properties are pressure-dependent. Two processing methods, backward Euler integration and exact elastic property, are used for the variable elasticity properties. The constitutive integration of the increased dimensional unified hardening model is reduced to a special mixed complementarity problem and solved by the proposed algorithm, which does not need to calculate the Jacobean matrix of the potential function, and greatly simplifies the derivation process. Several numerical examples are given to verify the feasibility of the incremental constitutive integration in the unified hardening model, including the single integral point and the boundary value problems. The research results have expanded the scope of use of the Gauss–Seidel based Projection–Correction algorithm.

Individual Management of Physical Activity of Tourism and Recreation Students Through Mobile Applications

Abstract Introduction. The impact of mobile applications on the physical activity of Tourism and Recreation students in Krakow has not been the subject of in-depth research so far. The aim of this study is to identify the areas of management, scope of use and motivation for using mobile applications during physical activity by students of Tourism and Recreation.
