Fashion is a challenging issue. It can be intuitively understood as a phenomenon that collects different ways of being and pertains to several domains of social life. The essay aims to scrutinize the processual ground of fashion through the lenses of systemic thinking arguing that 1) fashion is systemic at heart, and 2) several aspects of this multifaceted phenomenon ¿ style, elegance, and trends among others ¿ result from the intricacy of multiple interactions. The continuous relationship between the wearer, clothes, and the environment gives rise to a powerful temporal texture of garments for either the past (the vintage) or the forecasting attitude of the textile items. «Fisogni's metaphysical concept, in an essay as beautiful as rare in its comparative and synergistic reasoning, is a metaphor ¿ Marina Nelli writes - It is not the abstract "beyond" of a concrete discipline, but is the profound observation and acquisition of knowledge of the principles and phenomena that establish life and experiences».

This book is a continuation and generalization of the author's monograph "Chronoartifacts of thermodynamics", in which artifacts (erroneous results) associated with the concept of time have been identified and eliminated. The basis is a new approach named Borgartonics, that is a set of principles and methods using the concepts: macropoint, dissipator, chains of dissipators, discrete chronoscales, chronogenesis, etc. The artifacts of space and time in mechanics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics, and special theory of relativity are examined and classified; methodological ¿clues¿ (judgments of philosophers, physicists and mathematicians) are clustered. A generalization of Borgartonics, Protophysics (M. Bunge's term) is proposed. In Protophysics, the following concepts considered as physical fictions are excluded: point event, world line, the four-dimensional interval, light clocks, light vector, relative and absolute simultaneity. On the basis of protophysics, fundamental and structural artifacts of Space and Time have been eliminated. The book can be useful for students, teachers and researchers, physicists, mathematicians and philosophers with a penchant for nonstandard thinking.

Nowadays, in the 21st century, the global health sector is facing various problems. Among the problems faced by the scientific communities are antibiotic resistance, antiviral resistance, anticancer resistance, side effects of commercial drugs, underdeveloped drug delivery mechanism, treatment of cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, COVID-19, infections, and neurological disorders. Many substances that help immunity develop are called immunomodulators. In other words, biomolecules of biological or synthetic origin, capable of modulating, normalizing, suppressing, stimulating, or modifying any components of adaptive or innate immunity, and reducing inflammatory responses through oxidation or alkylation are called immunomodulators. Immunomodulators in clinical practice are mainly classified into immunosuppressants, immunostimulants, and immunoadjuvants. Immunoadjuvants are distinct stimulants of the immune mechanism that are added to vaccines to enhance the immune system. Immunostimulants boost the immune system, while immunosuppressants reduce the effectiveness of the immune system. Therefore, in this section, synthetic immunomodulators are discussed.

Systematization is the act of organizing something in a system. It is the process of making something more orderly, efficient, and repeatable. Systematization can be applied to many different things, such as business processes, personal tasks, and even knowledge. Here are some examples of systematization: A company creates a system for onboarding new employees. This system includes steps for filling out paperwork, setting up computer accounts, and giving new employees tours of the office. A student creates a system for studying for exams. This system includes steps for creating flashcards, reviewing notes, and taking practice tests. A scientist develops a system for classifying different types of plants. This system includes identifying key characteristics of plants and grouping them together based on those characteristics. Benefits of systematization: Efficiency: Systematized processes are more efficient because they are less likely to be interrupted by errors or unexpected problems. Repeatability: Systematized processes can be repeated over and over again, which can help to ensure consistency and quality. Scalability: Systematized processes can be scaled up or down as needed.

Different isothermal amplification techniques are the signal amplification assays, the probe amplification assays, and the target amplification assays. Molecular techniques used for detection of quinolone resistance consist of the use of various techniques like polymerase chain reaction fragment length polymorphism, PCR, single-strand conformation polymorphism, nucleotide-sequencing analysis and multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction. Main nucleic acid testing techniques are amplified nucleic acid techniques, microarrays, and non-amplified acid techniques. Recombinase aided amplification (RAA) assay has been successfully applied in the detection of bacterial and viral pathogens and overcomes the technical difficulties posed by DNA amplification methods because it does not need thermal denaturation of the template and operates at a low and constant temperature.

A data structure is a specialized format for organizing, processing, retrieving and storing data. Several basic and advanced types of data structures are designed to arrange data to suit a specific purpose. A data structure may be selected or designed to store data for the purpose of using it with various algorithms.Typical base data types which are available in most computer programming languages, are generally insufficient to capture the logical intent for data processing and use. Data structures are the building blocks for more sophisticated applications. They are designed by composing data elements into a logical unit representing an abstract data type that has relevance to the algorithm or application.

This book in the field of distributed control system (DCS) and software architecture addresses key issues like hardware and software modularity and platform dependency. The hardware and software complexity in DCS increases with the number of devices and the types of communication standards and interfaces used. Hence, to minimize the complexity in the design of DCS, there is a need for modular hardware architecture. Similarly, to minimize software complexity, there is a need for modular software architecture. Also, there is a need to accommodate and integrate various types of hardware devices that can support different applications, as most DCS are platform-dependent and application-specific. Therefore, to resolve these issues, this book aims to explain different software architecture styles for distributed control systems. The specified architecture suggests modularity in the design to find similar attributes, reducing design time, cost, and risk of errors. To conclude, the Layered Software Architecture for HDCS is introduced and described in brief.

L-arginase (EC 3.5.3.1), the final enzyme in the urea cycle, is a binuclear Mn2+ metalloenzyme. The enzyme catalyzes a reaction involving the hydrolysis of L-arginine to L-ornithine and urea. Acromegaly (ACRO) is a rare and complex hormonal syndrome classified as a chronic disorder characterized by elevated growth hormone (GH) and, consequently, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). This is commonly caused by a GH-secreting pituitary adenoma, leading to multisystem impacts. These impacts affect the osteoarticular system, muscles, brain, heart and blood vessels, respiratory and hematopoietic system, kidneys, liver and pancreas, thyroid, adipose tissue, and metabolic system. The objective of this study is to evaluate the levels of arginase activity, GH, IGF-1, glucose, lipid profile, and serum urea in ACRO patients with and without diabetes. Additionally, the study aims to explore the correlation between Arginase and GH, glucose, and lipid profile.
