Axiology of law in civil society by S. G. Pevko

“…In other words, society becomes civil through the existence of a mechanism of legal regulation of the behaviour of its members, establishment of legal statuses of persons, which is expressed in the existence of rights and obligations, as well as the exercise of public administration, defence of their rights and legitimate interests, through the creation of appropriate types of public institutions. …”

Innovative machine learning approaches for indoor air temperature forecasting in smart infrastructure by Nataliya Shakhovska, Lesia Mochurad, Rosana Caro, Sotirios Argyroudis

“…The proposed LSTM with RWCV (Rolling Window Cross-Validation) offers significant advantages over a usual LSTM in time-series tasks, particularly due to its ability to adapt to new data trends through the rolling window mechanism. It provides more robust and generalizable forecasts in dynamic environments, prevents overfitting through dropout and cross-validation, and improves model evaluation with temporal integrity. …”

miR-21 Overexpression Promotes Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Invasion and Migration by Repressing Tropomyosin 1 by Zhuojian Shen, Xia Xu, Liangzhan Lv, Honglue Dai, Ju Chen, Baishen Chen

“…The migration and invasion of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma are associated with clinical outcomes, however, the mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we found that miR-21 is significantly overexpressed in ESCC, lung cancer, and bladder cancer compared with the adjacent normal tissue. …”

Individual mobility prediction by considering current traveling features and historical activity chain by Xiaotong Zhang, Zhipeng Gui, Yuhang Liu, Dehua Peng, Qianxi Lan, Zhangxiao Shen, Huan Chen, Yuhui Zuo, Yao Yao, Huayi Wu, Kai Li, Kun Qin

“…Specifically, (1) we construct current traveling features by extracting real-time moving states, and represent spatiotemporal correlations between traversed road intersections using word embedding; (2) we learn travel intentions as a probability vector for each historical trip, and combine it with spatiotemporal features to construct historical activity chain; (3) we construct an individual mobility prediction model using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network and spatiotemporal scoring mechanism, to capture short-term and long-term dependencies in current trip and historical activity chain, respectively. …”

Examining alternative approaches to antibiotic utilisation: A critical evaluation of phage therapy and antimicrobial peptides combination as potential alternatives by Chibuzo Vincent Alisigwe, Chibuzor Stanley Ikpa, Uchenna Joseph Otuonye

“…The results indicated that pre-treatment with R8K significantly increased the susceptibility of S. aureus to Lys11-mediated lysis, even at low concentrations. While the precise mechanisms underlying the synergistic action of AMPs and bacteriophages remain unclear, our findings underscore the need for further research in this promising domain. …”

Oral Supplementation with Three Vegetable Oils Differing in Fatty Acid Composition Alleviates High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity in Mice by Regulating Inflammation and Lipid Metabolism by Waleed Aldamarany, Huang Taocui, Deng Liling, Yang Wanfu, Geng Zhong

“…Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the anti-obesity effects of perilla seed oil (PSO), sunflower oil (SFO), and tea seed oil (TSO) and their potential mechanisms in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Mice were divided into five groups: ND, mice fed a normal diet; HFD, mice fed a high-fat diet; PSO, SFO, and TSO, mice fed a high-fat diet supplemented with PSO, SFO, and TSO at 2 g/kg body weight per day, respectively. …”

“…Noninvasive biomarkers are needed as well as further advancements in the understanding of immune mechanisms of reaction to the allograft. Our study of 138 patients focused on one-year monitoring of serum concentrations of 12 chemokines regulating the recruitment of different immune cells into transplanted allograft and on in vitro regulation of the same chemokines release by interactions of renal proximal epithelial cells with monocyte/macrophage cell line stimulated with TNF alpha. …”
