Social distancing measures may have reduced the estimated deaths related to Covid-19 in Brazil

Social distancing was planned as a preventive measure to control the extensive spread of COVID-19. COVID-19-related deaths in Brazil were analyzed during the period of social distancing measures. Mortality data for COVID-19 was obtained from the Worldometer website. Deaths were estimated up to the 31st day after the occurrence of the 5th COVID-19-related death in Brazil. Social distance was measured using Google's community mobility reports. The Brazilian epidemic curves were interconnected, and mathematical models were evaluated to fit the mortality estimation curves. The optimistic model was defined in the opening period of social distancing and, therefore, in the lower mobility (40-60%). The realistic model was calculated according to relaxed social distance measures (<40%) and the pessimistic model was calculated based on the transmission rate between 2-3. Thus, the equations of the mathematical models provided the outcomes for the date of June 9, 2020, as follows: realistic model with 40,623 deaths, pessimistic model with 64,310 deaths and the optimistic model with a projection of 31,384 deaths. As a result of these analyzes, on May 24, 2020, there were a total of 22,965 deaths related to COVID-19, and those deaths included within the proposed mathematical models were 17,452 for the optimistic model, 22,623 for the realistic model and 32,825 for the pessimistic model. Thus, it is concluded that social distancing measures promoted by the Brazilian public managers contributes to the reduction in approximately ten thousand deaths related to COVID-19 in the current pandemic scenario.
Identification and Analysis of Barriers against Electric Vehicle Use

Electric vehicles (EVs) can be considered an alternative technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector. However, numerous barriers need to be overcome in this regard. This study is aimed at presenting the framework for the identification and analysis of barriers against the use of EVs. Then, the framework was applied to identify the challenges and rank them in order of importance against the diffusion of EVs in Nepal. Seventeen barriers were identified from previous studies, reports, policy documents, and interactions with experts. The identified barriers were classified into five categories: technical, policy, economic, infrastructure, and social. Then, a comparative survey was performed to obtain experts’ opinions on the identified barriers and the analytical hierarchical process was used to analyze and rank them. The results revealed that infrastructure, policy, economic, and technical barriers pose more pressing concerns than social barriers. The lack of charging stations, relatively higher purchase price of EVs compared to internal combustion vehicles, and poor long-term planning and goal setting on the part of the government were ranked as the top three barriers against EV uptake in Nepal. This framework can be applied to replicate the study in other countries, taking their inherent relevant factors into account.
Entropy-stable Galerkin difference discretization on unstructured grids

The paper presents a high-order, entropy-stable discretization of the Euler equations based on the discontinuous Galerkin difference (DGD) method. DGD methods are similar to highorder finite-volume schemes, but they are posed in a Galerkin finite-element framework. We show how DGD discretizations can be constructed from diagonal-norm summation-by-parts (SBP) discretizations. This connection to SBP operators allows us to leverage existing literature on SBP methods to easily prove the entropy-stability of the DGD method. Numerical experiments are provided that verify the high-order accuracy of the DGD scheme as well as its stability.
Effect of sintering temperature on the properties of porous Al2O3-10 wt% RHA/10 wt% Al composite

ABSTRACT The engineering properties of porous alumina ceramic composites such as sintering linear shrinkage, density, porosity, hardness, tensile strength and microstructure analysis were studied. Different sintering temperature of 1250°C, 1350°C, 1450°C, 1550°C was used. The alumina, rice husk ash, aluminium and sucrose solution binder were mixed and pressed through powder compaction technique. The porous structure and elemental analysis of the mixed powder have been characterised using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM/EDX). For the phase identification, x-ray diffractiona nalysis has been performed. Results depicted that there is no contamination of the mixed powders. The pores structure reduced as the sintering temperature increased to 1550°C. The mechanical analysis revealed that the properties of the porous alumina ceramic composites sintered at 1550°C showed the best performances. Sintering linear shrinkage increased with increasing sintering temperature, resulting in higher volumetric changes. Thus, this effect increases densification and reduces total porosity while improving the tensile strength of the porous alumina ceramic composites.
The Role of Organizational Cynicism as a Mediator in the Relationship between Perceived Organizational Support and Counter Productive Work Behavior for Public Employees

Public organizations in Turkey adopted working principles such as citizen-orientation, transparency, accountability, efficiency and effectiveness with Law No. 5018 Public Financial Management and Control Law in parallel with the new development trends of giving up the traditional understanding of public administration. The most important factor is human capital in public organizations aiming at ensuring citizen satisfaction. The aim of this study is to examine (and measure) the (inter)relationships between organizational cynicism, perceived organizational support (POS) and counterproductive work behaviors (CWB) and the mediation role of organizational cynicism in predicting CWB by considering the POS premise. The research was carried out with the participation of 419 public employees. The results of this study show that these variables correlate with each other, POS and organizational cynicism predicted CWB and organizational cynicism as a mediator predicts CWB approximately three times stonger with the POS premise and has a mediation role. The results of this research indicates that should take measures to increase POS and reduce organizational cynicism in order to reduce and/or eliminate the CWB. Otherwise, organizational cynicism and CWB will come up there, and the process may result in employees leaving their jobs, which means that to disappear investment of organizations in terms of human resources.
Difference in survival response of tree species to neighborhood crowding in a lower subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest of Dinghushan

: Identifying the mechanisms that drive community structure and dynamics is one of the most fun-damental goals in ecology. The local neighborhood in which trees grow significantly influences species survival. In order to understand the mechanisms underlying the various survival responses to neighborhood crowding among species, we compared the survival responses of focal tree species through modeling tree survival in terms of neighborhood effects. These effects were quantified in different ways, based on the survival monitoring and functional trait data of 90 species commonly observed in a lower tropical evergreen broad-leaved forest 20-ha plot in the Dinghu Mountains. We found that among all species tested, 58% showed sensitivity to neighborhood effects and that the survival response of 50% were mediated by functional trait differences among co-occurring species. Shade tolerance of species is associated with species sensitivity to its neighborhood as species with lower shade tolerance are intended to be sensitive to their neighbors. Lower specific leaf area, higher leaf dry matter content, wood density and maximum diameter at breast height indicate higher shade tolerance. Niche difference associated with light acquisition strategies may underlie species coexistence at the neighborhood scale. Our study provides new insights into quantifying neighborhood interaction and species coexistence at the local neighborhood scale.
Features of the medical history and pregnancy outcomes in women with antiphospholipid syndrome depending on correction methods

Hypothesis/aims of study. The aim of this study was to evaluate the features of the medical history and pregnancy outcomes in women with miscarriage and antiphospholipid syndrome depending on the methods of its correction. Study design, materials and methods. A prospective cohort study was conducted, in which a total of 137 pregnant women with a history of abortion and antiphospholipid syndrome were examined. The women were divided into two groups according to the principle of the presence or absence of plasmapheresis procedures in the scheme of miscarriage therapy at the pregravid stage. Group I (main) consisted of individuals (n = 73), who were treated with the inclusion of plasmapheresis at the pregravid stage; group II (comparison) included women (n = 64), who were not given efferent therapy. Results. Antiphospholipid syndrome was more common in patients with a complicated obstetric and gynecological history. As a result of persistent infection, chronic endometritis and salpingo-ooparitis were more often observed in patients with TORCH infection. The titer of antiphospholipid antibodies, regardless of the presence or absence of TORCH infection, decreased after plasmapheresis, such positive dynamics being observed only in patients with a history of gestational losses of less than four. Conclusion. The level of reduction of antiphospholipid antibodies in relation to the initial values was 6095%, which indicates the optimal choice of the characteristics of plasmapheresis therapy and its duration.
Hakikat Fitrah Manusia dalam Islam

Artikel ini membahas tentang hakikat fitrah manusia dalam Islam. Kajian ini memfousan pada ayat al-Qur’an surah al-Rum ayart 30. Konsep fitrah dalam al-Quran surat al-Rûm ayat 30 bahwa manusia dituntut untuk tetap berada pada fitrahnya sebagai hamba Allah (abdullah), sebagai khalifah Allah (kolifatullah). Untuk menetapkan fitrah seperti itu diperlukan upaya pendidikan yang sifatnya manusiawi melalui pendidikan kemanusiaan, yaitu pendidikan yang memanusiakan manusia. Sejak lahir manusia telah membawa fitrah (potensi), kecenderungan menjadi orang baik atau jahat, menjadi baik atau buruk. Hal itu tergantung interaksi manusia terhadap lingkungan sekitarnya. Oleh karena itu, dalam upaya melestarikan dan mengembangkan fitrahnya yang lebih baik, maka diperlukan proses pendidikan dengan tujuan agar fitrah tersebut tetap pada ketentuan Allah sebagaimana dikehendaki dalam surat al-Rûm ayat 30.
Genetic interactions of histone acetyl-transferase enzymes encoding genes Gcn5 and Mof with hsrω lncRNA gene

The hsrω lncRNAs are known to interact with the Iswi chromatin remodeler while Iswi is known to interact with Gcn5, a general histone acetyl transferase, and Mof, a male-specific HAT essential for H4K16 acetylation and consequent hyperactivity of the single X-chromosome in male Drosophila. We show here that hsrω genetically interacts with Gcn5 as well as Mof, but unlike the suppression of phenotypes due to down-regulation or absence of Iswi, those following down-regulation of Gcn5 or Mof are suppressed by over-expression of hsrω. General lethality caused by Act-GAL4 driven global expression of Gcn5-RNAi and the male-specific lethality following Mof-RNAi transgene expression were partially suppressed by over-expression of hsrω, but not by down regulation through hsrω-RNAi. Likewise, eye phenotypes following ey-GAL4 driven down-regulation of Gcn5 or Mof were also partially suppressed by over-expression of hsrω. Act-GAL4 driven global over-expression of hsrω along with Gcn5-RNAi transgene substantially restored levels of Gcn5 RNA as well as protein that were reduced by Gcn5-RNAi. Mof-RNAi transgene expression reduced Megator and Msl-2 levels and their nuclear distribution patterns; over-expression of hsrω along with Mof-RNAi substantially restored Megator levels and its distribution at the nuclear rim and in nucleoplasmic speckles and at the same time restored the male X-chromosome specific localization of Msl-2. Earlier reported antagonistic interactions of Mof with Iswi and interaction of hsrω transcripts with Megator appear to underlie the suppression of Gcn5 and Mof phenotypes by over-expression of the lncRNAs. Present results add the dosage compensation pathway to the list of diverse pathways in which the multiple lncRNAs produced by the hsrω are known to have important roles.
Sustainable Wine Tourism Development: Case Studies from the Greek Region of Peloponnese

Even though Greece has had an agriculture-oriented economy for decades, recently it has relied heavily on tourism, which now constitutes 30% of the national GDP. Successful developmental synergies of tertiary and primary sectors are still in question. Sustainability practices are still in their infant stage in both sectors of the economy, preventing development. This paper aims to study the relationship between tourism and sustainability in wine-related enterprises in Greece. This is achieved through an examination of the successful business practices of Greek wineries from the leading wine-producing region of the Peloponnese and the impact of sustainability toward their operational practices. Many studies have related sustainability to the wine industry and have recognized that for most wine-related practitioners, the first priority is leaving the land in a better shape for the next generation. The study focuses on illustrative successful Greek wineries that participate in the “Peloponnesian wine routes” cluster. Data were gathered from multiple sources, including secondary data, company records, internet information, face-to-face interviews and on-site observations. The analysis of data revealed a number of aspects between the sustainable wine tourism business practices explored and the way that innovation has evolved. Further studies on common denominators and distinguishing criteria between sustainable business practices would be valuable to researchers and practitioners, destination management organizations and regional development policy makers.

AN ANALYSIS OF POST-CYBERPUNK AS A CONTEMPORARY POSTMODERNIST LITERATURE

This study is based on Post-cyberpunk in order to highlight the prominence of Postcyberpunk as an emerging representative genre of Postmodern Literature. Technological progress has altered the ontology of being a human in an era of information technology, thus this study aims to critically discuss the issues of id entity and representation. Although ample critical work has been done on genre Postcyberpunk yet this study is unique in a way that it is a collection of different discursive practices related to identity crises presented in selected Post-cyberpunk narratives. It targets to critically analyze the alternations and transformations in representation of identity in the backdrop of Postmodernist Deconstruction of Metanarratives by Lyotard (1984). Apart from the deconstruction of metanarratives this study signifies the relevance of Post-cyberpunk as Postmodernist Literature that represents society through multidimensional discursivity such as capitalism, hypercasaulization, imperialism, religion, economy and technology. This study aims to deconstruct the metanarratives of identity that were considered to be permanent and claimed to be power narratives. It equally represents the deconstruction of center/margin dichotomy by bringing mininarratives into the center. The method adopted for research is SocioCognitve Approach by van Dijk (2008) from Critical Discourse Analysis.
3D printing in tissue engineering: a state of the art review of technologies and biomaterials

Purpose In the past decade, three-dimensional (3D) printing has gained attention in areas such as medicine, engineering, manufacturing art and most recently in education. In biomedical, the development of a wide range of biomaterials has catalysed the considerable role of 3D printing (3DP), where it functions as synthetic frameworks in the form of scaffolds, constructs or matrices. The purpose of this paper is to present the state-of-the-art literature coverage of 3DP applications in tissue engineering (such as customized scaffoldings and organs, and regenerative medicine). Design/methodology/approach This review focusses on various 3DP techniques and biomaterials for tissue engineering (TE) applications. The literature reviewed in the manuscript has been collected from various journal search engines including Google Scholar, Research Gate, Academia, PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Web of Science. The keywords that have been selected for the searches were 3 D printing, tissue engineering, scaffoldings, organs, regenerative medicine, biomaterials, standards, applications and future directions. Further, the sub-classifications of the keyword, wherever possible, have been used as sectioned/sub-sectioned in the manuscript. Findings 3DP techniques have many applications in biomedical and TE (B-TE), as covered in the literature. Customized structures for B-TE applications are easy and cost-effective to manufacture through 3DP, whereas on many occasions, conventional technologies generally become incompatible. For this, this new class of manufacturing must be explored to further capabilities for many potential applications. Originality/value This review paper presents a comprehensive study of the various types of 3DP technologies in the light of their possible B-TE application as well as provides a future roadmap.
Verification Method of Safety Properties of Embedded Assembly Program by Combining SMT-Based Bounded Model Checking and Reduction of Interrupt Handler Executions

Embedded software has properties dependent on hardware (direct operation of address spaces, memory mapped I/O, interruption, etc.). Therefore, demands about the established method of formal verifications corresponding to those properties are increasing from the point of view of shorter development and high reliability. Our study aims at enabling a formal verification with Satisfiability Modulo Theories-Based Bounded Model Checking (SMT-Based BMC) of safety for embedded assembly codes. Our proposed method generates models of assembly codes in detail with the fixed-sized bit-vectors theory. The models generated by our method include interrupts, and the size of the models is reduced using Interrupt Handler Execution Reduction (IHER) technique. In this paper, we have developed the verification method of safety properties of embedded assembly program by combining SMT-Based Bounded Model Checking and Reduction of Interrupt Handler Executions. Moreover, we show the evaluation of our method by experiments using prototype model checker.

Aromas and Flavours of Fruits

Aromas and flavours play an important role in horticultural crops’ quality, namely in fruits. Plant breeders have made considerable advances producing cultivars with higher yields, resistant to pests and diseases, or with high nutritional quality, without paying enough attention to flavour quality. Indeed, consumers have the perception that fruit aromas and flavours have declined in the last years. Attention is given nowadays not only to flavoured compounds but also to compounds with antioxidant activity such as phenolic compounds. Fruit flavour is a combination of aroma and taste sensations. Conjugation of sugars, acids, phenolics, and hundreds of volatile compounds contribute to the fruit flavour. However, flavour and aroma depend on the variety, edaphoclimatic conditions, agronomical practices and postharvest handling. This chapter reviews the aromas and flavours of the most important fruits and discusses the most recent advances in the genomics, biochemistry and biotechnology of aromas and flavours.
