Identifying the Prophetic Legal Ethos in the Death Penalty Provisions of the Indonesian Criminal Code by Basto Daeng Robo

“…The concepts of humanization, liberation, and transcendence serve as foundational elements of the philosophical framework of prophetic law, which coherently and sequentially aligns with the structures of ontology, epistemology, and axiology. These concepts are employed as benchmarks to identify the prophetic legal ethos embedded within the death penalty provisions of the Indonesian Criminal Code. …”

Rethinking contending themes in indigenous and Christian religions in contemporary Africa by O.C. Eze, L.I. Ugbudian, T.A. Adihikon, S.O.S. Nnabuchi, J.U. Eke, C.J. Okolo

“…In the vast majority of deficit-prone literature, such themes as symbolism, liturgy, sacrifice, saints, sinners, and ontology, among others, are far from balanced. The extant gap has further increased the befuddling perception of African traditional religion by indigenous Christians as belonging to the “Kingdom of Satan” that needs salvation through the instrumentality of Christianity. …”

The transcriptomic footprint of Mytella strigata: de novo transcriptome assembly of a major invasive species by V. G. Vysakh, Sandhya Sukumaran, Wilson Sebastian, A. Gopalakrishnan

“…A number of databases were used for functional annotation, including UniProt, KEGG, Reactome, InterPro, and eggNOG. Gene Ontology and pathway analyses identified transcripts associated with key biological processes, including those associated with cell signalling, metabolism, stress responses, cancer pathways, and immune regulation. …”

Searching for the cellular underpinnings of the selective vulnerability to tauopathic insults in Alzheimer’s disease by Justin Torok, Pedro D. Maia, Chaitali Anand, Ashish Raj

“…Further, cell-type distributions were more predictive of end-time-point tau pathology than AD-risk-gene expression. Using gene ontology analysis, we found that the genes that are directly correlated to tau pathology are functionally distinct from those that constitutively embody the vulnerable cells. …”

Systematic comparison of Mendelian randomisation studies and randomised controlled trials using electronic databases by Jie Zheng, George Davey Smith, Tom R Gaunt, Maria K Sobczyk

“…Among intervention types that can be mimicked by MR, only trials of pharmaceutical interventions could be automatically matched to MR results due to insufficient annotation with Medical Subject Headings ontology. A manual survey of the literature highlighted the potential for triangulation across a number of exposure/outcome pairs if these challenges can be addressed.Conclusions We conclude that careful triangulation of MR with RCT evidence should involve consideration of similarity of phenotypes across study designs, intervention intensity and duration, study population demography and health status, comparator group, intervention goal and quality of evidence.…”

Exploring the Mechanisms of Zhenbao Pills in the Treatment of Stroke through Network Pharmacology Combined with Mendelian Randomization by Yanhong Liu, Yunqi Hua, Xiaoe Jia

“…Results: This study identified 14 core components and 105 stroke-related targets for ZBP. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses revealed that these targets are involved mainly in oxidative stress processes, lipid metabolism, and the PI3K–Akt signaling pathway. …”

Lesbianism: Deconstructing the Christian church and social hierarchies in South Africa by L. Joubert

“…By highlighting how colonial impressions resulted in a homophobic reception of the bible, I argue for a positive reimagining between churches and the LGBTQI community and provide evidence that the Christian church and social hierarchies impact lesbian identity negatively through the implementation of the Biblical text and patriarchal ontology.   [1] The term lesbian will be used to describe lesbian individuals with or without partners and children. …”

Effect of genomic regions harboring putative lethal haplotypes on reproductive performance in closed experimental selection lines of Nellore cattle by Gustavo R. D. Rodrigues, Joslaine N. S. G. Cyrillo, Lúcio F. M. Mota, Patrícia I. Schmidt, Júlia P. S. Valente, Eduarda S. Oliveira, Lúcia G. Albuquerque, Luiz F. Brito, Maria E. Z. Mercadante

“…Forty-five genomic regions harboring putative lethal haplotypes were identified, which overlap with 360 genes. Gene ontology analyses of these genes revealed biological processes associated with the development of sexual traits in males and females, key functions of the immune system, energy homeostasis, and embryonic development. …”

Novel histone deacetylase-5 inhibitor T2943 exerts an anti-depressive effect in mice by enhancing GRID1 expression by Juan Du, Ruyun Liu, Lin Ma, Yue Liu, Wei Wei, Ning Liu, Qiuhua Cao, Jianqiang Yu

“…We used cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag), gene set enrichment analysis, and behavioral tests after GRID1 (glutamate receptor delta-1 subunit) knockdown. Gene ontology and pathway enrichment analysis via CUT&Tag suggested the following mechanism for the antidepressant action of T2943: T2943 inhibits HDAC5 activity to promote H3K14 acetylation. …”

The impaired response of nasal epithelial cells to microplastic stimulation in asthma and COPD by Magdalena Paplińska-Goryca, Paulina Misiukiewicz-Stępień, Monika Wróbel, Katarzyna Mycroft-Rzeszotarska, Dorota Adamska, Julia Rachowka, Milena Królikowska, Krzysztof Goryca, Rafał Krenke

“…Microplastic exposure induced inflammatory cytokine secretion only for IL-8 production in controls (epithelial/ moMφs co-culture) and asthmatic (monoculture) epithelial cells in contrast to PM2.5, which was a strong inflammatory inducer. Gene Ontology analysis revealed that microplastic exposure affected sterol and cholesterol biosynthesis, secondary alcohol metabolism, and acetyl-CoA metabolism in asthma, and cell motility, chemokine signaling, leukocyte migration, and chemotaxis in COPD. …”
