Ex vivo biotransformation of lady’s mantle extracts via the human gut microbiota: the formation of phenolic metabolites and their impact on human normal and colon cancer cell lines... by Katarzyna Jakimiuk, Aleksandra Kruk, Marta Kinga Lemieszek, Jakub W. Strawa, Sebastian Granica, Adrian Wiater, Michał Tomczyk

“…The A. vulgaris herb metabolites were obtained by incubating the extract (AV) with human fecal slurries from three healthy donors (D1, D2, and D3).ResultsAfter incubating the AV extract with the human gut microbiota (AVD1-AVD3 samples), thirty-three metabolites were detected and characterized by LC-MS. Among them, one was identified as urolithin C. The AV and AVD1-AVD3 extracts and their metabolites exhibit various levels of antiproliferative and cytotoxic activities against cancer cells. …”

Market as Religion: The Dynamics of Business Network in Megachurches by Roberto Bazanini, Celso Machado

“…The results show that in the competitive market of symbolic goods of religion, the magnitude and sumptuousness of megatemples construct a brand image that places the theological concerns of a future life or of salvation in the background, prioritizing practical solutions to everyday problems .The contribution of the research is to explain how the neopentescostal churches reinterpret traditional values of religiosity, by accepting with naturalness what had been rejected by traditional Protestantism and, thus, to consolidate and at the same time to legitimize the new dynamics of the religions that they act with the logic of the market.…”

Optimizing Energy and Spectral Efficiency in Mobile Networks: A Comprehensive Energy Sustainability Framework for Network Operators by Luis Mata, Marco Sousa, Pedro Vieira, Maria Paula Queluz, Antonio Rodrigues

“…By leveraging Machine Learning (ML) and Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques applied to live data - including Performance Management (PM) and Energy Management (EM) metrics - integrated with domain expertise, the framework goes beyond deterministic computation to identify the root-cause factors influencing the BSs’ energy class, thereby enabling targeted optimisation. The framework can be flexibly applied at the location (site), BS (cell), or equipment type (hardware) levels. …”

Precise Crop Pest Detection Based on Co-Ordinate-Attention-Based Feature Pyramid Module by Chenrui Kang, Lin Jiao, Kang Liu, Zhigui Liu, Rujing Wang

“…However, for small-sized crop pests, recent deep-learning-based detection attempts have not accomplished accurate recognition and detection due to the challenges posed by feature extraction and positive and negative sample selection. Therefore, to overcome these limitations, we first designed a co-ordinate-attention-based feature pyramid network, termed CAFPN, to extract the salient visual features that distinguish small insects from each other. …”
