Mitochondrial Proteins In Mediating Colon Cancer And Potential Theraputics, Kunlun Yin

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

Cancer is one of the biggest threatens to human health. Many people died because of various types of cancer. Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of new incidence and mortality in the whole world. It is important to understand the mechanism of tumorigenesis and development. Based on the mechanisms, we may develop new therapeutics to improve survival rate. In Chapter 2, we discussed the PINK1 function in suppression colon cancer. We found that PINK1 deficiency can promote colon cancer, and PINK1 overexpression suppressed tumor growth in vivo and in vitro. PINK1 can activate its substrate P53, which activates …

BACKGROUND: The development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) involves the progressive accumulation of genetic and epigenetic changes. These include somatic oncogenic

METHODS: Human NSCLC cells were used to knock-down RelA/p65 (RelA/p65

RESULTS: RelA/p65

CONCLUSIONS: Canonical NF-κB signalling promotes NSCLC, in part, by downregulating the metastasis suppressor CD82/KAI1 which inhibits cell migration, EMT and tumour growth.

Towards Creating Smart Cities In Nepal, Ambika P. Adhikari, Keshav Bhattarai

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

Many urban centers in the world are seeking to become smart cities. Nepali city leaders are also aspiring to make their cities smart. A smart city basically has clever improvements made in three sectors of its operations: technological, human, and institutional. Globally, many cities have recently made impressive enhancements in at least one or more of these areas. Nepal’s National Planning Commission (NPC) in 2016 had released a concept paper on smart cities for Nepal, defining smart cities as sustainable, information and technology-based, with high quality services and replicable (NPC 2016). As most Nepali cities still operate with limited infrastructure, …

Neutrosophic Matrix Games To Solve Project Management Conflicts, Roberto Carlos Jiménez Martínez, César Elías Paucar Paucar, José Ignacio Cruz Arboleda, Miguel Ángel Guambo Llerena, Erick González Caballero

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

A project is an effort made by a group of actors during a certain period to obtain a product, service, or result. Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to plan and execute activities to achieve the project requirements. Project management implies the need for negotiation between the parties because there may be a contradiction between the parties involved, that is, e.g. between the one who provides the knowledge or goods and the client who receives the final product or knowledge. That is why we propose a neutrosophic solution to manage the contradictions in the negotiation …

Venezuelan migration to neighboring countries in the area is a phenomenon that has been growing in recent years. Ecuador is one of the main countries where migrants who leave Venezuela have gone to reside. They initially arrived in the country as a transit to reach other countries, however, over time many of them decided to settle in Ecuador permanently. Venezuelan migration in our country presents certain characteristics, such as the youth of those who arrive, the high educational level, and the motivation for economic improvement that prompted them to emigrate at first and in a second wave for family reunification. …

A Novel Evaluative Method Of The Subject “Education And Society” Of The Autonomous University Of The Andes, Ecuador, Based On Plithogenic Numbers, Raúl Comas Rodríguez, Sharon Dinarza Álvarez Gómez, Edgar Ramón Arredondo Domínguez, Lisenia Karina Baque Villanueva,, Karina Pérez Teruel

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The subject “Education and Society” is part of the syllabus of the “Basic Education” program of the Autonomous University of the Andes, Ecuador. This subject has the complexity of linking different aspects of society, some of them not free from contradictions among themselves, and imprecision and uncertainties in assessing students’ performance. For this reason, the concepts and aspects to be evaluated on this subject are represented through the use of plithogenic numbers. Plithogenic sets were defined to model concepts arising from the dynamic interaction among other simpler ones, which may have contradictions with each other and include neutralities or indeterminacies. …

Neutrosophic Sentiment Analysis In Transcriptions Of In-Depth Interviews For Action Research, Iruma Alfonso González, María Fernanda Latorre Barragán, Delia Marlene López Domínguez, Adriana López Falcón

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

In-depth interviews are a method widely used by researchers, which are processed once transcribed. Currently, with the development of computer programming, the use of a natural language processing method to analyze such interviews has spread. There are dissimilar programs of various kinds, where lexicons offer highly useful benefits for researchers as they save time and increase efficiency. In essence, these expose how positive or negative a text related to a topic can be. Taking into consideration the usefulness of Neutrosophy for social phenomena and the treatment of indeterminacies, vagueness, and neutralities, it is convenient to establish as an objective of …

Exploratory research corresponds to the first approach of investigative work. This type of research is very useful by allowing researchers to have a first approach or a first idea about the subject to study and will be of great help to become familiar with the method, but without providing conclusive results. It is usually carried out when the problem is in a preliminary phase. It is a process of collecting basic information on a problem that is not clearly defined. It is a very flexible technique, which implies that the researcher is willing to take risks, be patient and receptive. …

Indeterminate Control Diagrams As Health Control Tools, Elizabeth Germania Vilema Vizuete, Alina Rosa Soria Acosta, María Verónica Aveiga Hidalgo, Clara Eliza Pozo Hernández, Maylevis Morejón Valdés

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

In recent decades, the development of techniques that allow continuous or periodic blood pressure measurement, both systolic and diastolic, in different individuals has shown that it experiences spontaneous variations in 24 hours. The variability of blood pressure has been calculated based on the standard deviation, and it has been possible to determine that this, with significant differences between individuals, behaves in such a way that the systolic pressure is higher than the diastolic. It has also been reported that the fluctuation is more significant in hypertensive patients than in normotensive patients, as the level of indeterminacy exists. Control charts, as …

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The occurrence of earthquakes may have catastrophic and devastating consequences for the inhabitants of the place where they occur. Some regions are characterized by the high frequency of this type of natural phenomenon. Such is the case of Ecuador, a country with a high seismic index due to its location in a subduction zone between the Pacific Plate and the South American Plate. Predictions in the behavior of earthquakes are a way of prevention that allows taking measures according to vulnerability. Although it is difficult to accurately predict the occurrence of an earthquake, there are dissimilar types of analysis to …

This investigation is founded on the premise of the need to carry out a neutrosophic analysis of the educational orientation of the diabetic patient, which shows its impact on quality of life. To deal with the subject, it relies on an educational guide. We used a questionnaire consisting of seven questions to investigate the state of knowledge on diabetes in a sample of 210 diabetic patients. We defined a scale, where patients can answer in the form of intervals, such that we obtain as accurately as possible the patients’ opinions. We processed the data utilizing Neutrosophic Statistics, which extends statistical …

Collectively, the epidemic increases in the United States of opioid-related deaths and suicides during the first two decades of the 21st century have exposed shortcomings in current forensic and epidemiological approaches for determining and codifying manner of death-a vital function fulfilled by medical examiners, coroners and nosologists-the foundation for the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS), an incident-based surveillance system providing individual-level information on decedent characteristics, manner, cause and circumstances of suicide, homicide and other violent injury deaths. Drug intoxication deaths are generally classified as 'accidents' or unintentional, a fundamental mischaracterisation; most arose from repetitive self-harm behaviours related to substance …
