Nonenzymatic Carboxylate Phosphorylation in Water
Authors: Chen Weiqiang , Zimmermann Joris , Dechent Jonas , Moran Joseph
Published: November 2024

The core pathways of autotrophic microbial metabolism have been proposed to be fossils of self-organized prebiotic chemistry. In recent years, numerous reactions within these pathways have been shown to occur nonenzymatically, supporting this hypothesis. However, the phosphorylation of carboxylic acids to the corresponding acyl phosphates, a recurring metabolic reaction, has yet to be demonstrated without enzymes. Here we show that carboxylate phosphorylation is promoted by diamidophosphate (DAP) and sodium nitrite in the presence of water, driven by the release of dinitrogen. The reaction occurs in minutes at 0-50 °C to convert carboxylic acids to acyl amidophosphate intermediates, which then undergo nitrite-promoted hydrolysis to give the corresponding acyl phosphates. Though we do not claim the conditions used here were directly relevant to the origin of life, the observation of aqueous nonenzymatic carboxylate phosphorylation to simple acyl phosphates in the absence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) raises the enticing prospect that it might also be achieved using driving forces more congruent with the principles of cellular bioenergetics.
Quantifying the kinetics factors of the oxidase-like Ce/Fe-bimetallic nanozymes
Authors: Hormozi Jangi Mohammad Reza
Published: November 2024

The kinetics factors of the oxidase-like Ce/Fe-bimetallic nanozymes were quantified. The Michaelis–Menten kinetic model was used for the evaluation of the kinetic of the nanozyme-mediated oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine. To provide the quantitative and accurate values of kinetics parameters, Km and Vmax, the linear plot of Lineweaver–Burk was constructed. The results exhibited a Vmax as high as 67.56 nM min-1 for the oxidase-like Ce/Fe-bimetallic nanozymes. Besides, Km was found to be as low as 0.06 mM for the as-prepared nanozymes, revealing the high affinity of the nanozymes toward 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine.
Synthesis and Reactivity of an Olefin Metathesis-Catalyzing Ruthenium Complex with a Selenoether Moiety in the Benzylidene Ligand
Authors: Kinugawa Tsubasa , Mitsusada Seishu , Orito Naoki , Matsuo Takashi
Published: November 2024

A Hoveyda-Grubbs (HG)-type olefin metathesis complex with a selenoether moiety at the terminal of phenoxy moiety was synthesized. The complex showed a Se-coordination to the ruthenium center, resulting in its higher thermostability than the parent HG catalyst. The Se-coordinative property enhanced product yields in the ring-closing metathesis of N-tosyldiallylamine in the presence of methanol. The large activation enthalpy observed in the reaction with butyl vinyl ether indicated an increased contribution of “dissociative mechanism” during the initiation of the catalytic cycle. Introducing coordinative atoms or functional groups at the terminal of the phenoxy moiety is a useful strategy to regulate the thermostability of HG-type olefin metathesis catalysts.

Avaliação da acústica em shopping centers de Maceió
Authors: Oliveira Stella Rosane da Silva , Lins Fernando Gustavo Alencar de Albuquerque
Published: November 2024

Shopping centers are increasingly becoming popular as a leisure option in urban centers, as they offer security and provide protection against high urban temperatures. However, these spaces have become places of agglomeration, which results in very noisy environments due to the intense flow of people. Thus, this work aims to evaluate the acoustic environment of the three largest shopping centers in the city of Maceio, Brazil. The methodological steps of this study included the selection of shopping centers, sound measurements, the identification of noise sources in the spaces, and the analysis and discussion of the results, made through the collection of sound pressure levels and speech intelligibility levels. The results indicated that, in some of the scenarios studied, the sound levels were above what is allowed by the standards and may be harmful to hearing health in case of prolonged permanence. It was concluded that the lack of adequate acoustic materials in projects can contribute to high sound pressure levels and noise exposure.

The simplest transformation model of deformation of a rod-strip fixed on a double-sided support element through elastic interlayers
Authors: Paimushin V. N. , Shishkin V. M.
Published: November 2024

An extremely simplified transformation model of dynamic deformation of a rod-strip consisting of two sections along its length is constructed. It is based on the classical geometrically nonlinear Kirchhoff-Love model on an unfixed section, and the fixed section of finite length is considered to be connected to a rigid and fixed support element through elastic layers. On the fixed section, the deflections of the rod and interlayers are considered zero, and for displacements in the axial direction within the thicknesses of the rod and interlayers, approximations are adopted according to the shear model of S.P. Timoshenko, subject to the conditions of continuity at the points of their connection with each other and immobility at the points of connection of the interlayers with the support element. The conditions for the kinematic coupling of the unfixed and fixed sections of the rod are formulated, and based on these, using the d’Alembert-Lagrange variational principle, the corresponding equations of motion and boundary conditions, as well as the force conditions for coupling of the sections, are derived for the sections introduced into consideration.
A Review of Sensor Fusion Techniques
Authors: Çavşi Zaim Hande , Yolaçan Esra N.
Published: November 2024

Sensor fusion involves combining data from multiple sources, resulting in more detailed and reliable results. Sensor fusion techniques play an important role in many application areas for industries such as defense, automotive, military and healthcare. Sensor fusion techniques, which include various approaches, have been examined independently of the sector, and a broader review has been performed. In addition to covering the advantages and challenges of different sensor fusion techniques in-depth, this work also provides a comprehensive classification of sensor fusion algorithms, techniques, and architectures. This comprehensive classification aims to guide researchers in making choices according to their needs by providing an understanding of sensor fusion techniques and algorithms. Additionally, when evaluating the future potential of sensor fusion, the focus is on how fusion techniques may evolve with increasing complexity and diversity. This study provides an in-depth analysis of the existing literature, contributing to the advancement of research in sensor fusion and the development of more effective systems.

La colecistitis xantogranulomatosa es una enfermedad inflamatoria crónica de la vesícula biliar, en la que existe un engrosamiento mural de tipo nodular difuso o focal, asociado a afectación de la grasa pericolecística y de estructuras adyacentes; por lo anterior representa un gran reto diagnóstico, ya que su principal diferencial es el carcinoma vesicular, debido a que ambas entidades comparten características clínicas, bioquímicas y radiológicas muy similares. Se presenta el caso de una paciente femenina atendida en el Hospital Civil de Culiacán en el mes de diciembre del 2023; donde se realizó el diagnóstico preoperatorio de colecistitis xantogranulomatosa por los diferentes métodos de imagen disponibles en nuestro centro (ultrasonido, tomografía computarizada y resonancia magnética), sin embargo, el principal diagnóstico diferencial por el servicio tratante antes de la cirugía, era el carcinoma vesicular. El objetivo de este artículo es establecer las características radiológicas para optimizar el diagnóstico y ofrecer un tratamiento certero y oportuno que tenga un impacto significativo en el pronóstico del paciente; de esta manera reducir la alta morbilidad y mortalidad en cirugías radicales innecesarias. Además de estancias hospitalarias prolongadas que incrementan los costos para la salud. Palabras clave: colecistitis xantogranulomatosa, ultrasonido, tomografía computarizada, resonancia magnética, carcinoma vesicular.
A Reforma do Ensino Médio em Consonância com as Mudanças do PNLD: A Desarticulação de Conceitos Científicos na Disciplina de Química
Authors: Rodrigues Angela Daiane de Lima , Dantas Josivânia Marisa
Published: November 2024

No âmbito do Plano Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD) de 2018, os livros concernentes à área de Ciências da Natureza eram divididos por disciplinas: Química, Física e Biologia. Após a reforma do Novo Ensino Médio (NEM), o PNLD de 2021 prevê a junção dessas disciplinas em um único livro didático. Assim, examinou-se, de modo articulado, a disposição de conceitos científicos presentes nos livros de Química do PNLD do ano 2018 (pré-reforma), em comparação com os livros de Ciências da Natureza aprovados pelo PNLD em 2021 (pós-reforma), no intuito de evidenciar as mudanças decorrentes do NEM para a área e as possíveis implicações dessas alterações no Ensino de Química, resultantes dessa nova organização curricular. Como opção metodológica, foi utilizada a abordagem qualitativa de cunho documental, perfazendo um estudo de natureza exploratória. Para isso, foram selecionadas, para análise, duas coleções de livros aprovadas pelo PNLD em 2018 e 2021. A análise de conteúdo foi utilizada como método analítico. Utilizaram-se quatro categorias como parâmetros, sendo duas a priori, abordagem conceitual simples e abordagem conceitual ampla; e duas a posteriori, abordagem parcialmente simples e abordagem parcialmente ampla. A predominância da categoria conceitual ampla no ano 2018, contrastada com a notável redução dessa categoria nos exemplares de 2021, sugere a necessidade de investigações mais aprofundadas em outras unidades temáticas e coleções de Ciências da Natureza. Tais estudos poderiam reunir evidências adicionais sobre a falta de conceitos científicos fundamentais, os quais podem ter impacto na formação cidadã dos estudantes no contexto do Novo Ensino Médio.

This paper argues that dangakjeongjae (Chinese court festive dance) recorded in akji (music articles) of Goryeosa (高麗史) used performance elements of “Cailian Qu” (採蓮曲). “Cailian Qu” (lit. a song of picking lotus) transformed into a court song and dance performance after the Southern Dynasties. This performance took on even more diverse aspects through the Tang and Song Dynasties. “Yunshao yue” (雲韶樂) in the mid-Tang period was made by combining “Cailian Qu” with “NichangYuyi” (霓裳羽衣); a lotus-picking woman leads ‘Xi Wangmu’ (西王母) who dances “NichangYuyi”. The performance of “ZheHonglianDui” (折紅蓮隊) in the Five Dynasties features many beautiful fairies from the ‘Penglai Mountain’ (蓬萊山) who come to pick lotus flowers and then present song and dance. In this way, the image of fairies in “Cailian Qu” had been reinforced after the middle of the Tang Dynasty.
Dangakjeongjae presented in Goryeosa includes three elements of the “Cailian Qu” performance. First, ‘Xi Wangmu’ appears during the performance, which is the influence of the performance of “Yunshao yue”. Second, a female performer mentions congratulatory and eulogistic remarks toward a king. This is not because the performance group is composed of all women, but because it is a tradition of “Cailian Qu” performance. Third, congratulatory and eulogistic remarks were established as procedures--in the entrance, middle, and exit scenes. Among them, the singing in the middle introduction announces the start of the dance performance, which is also seen in the ‘duiwu (隊舞)’ of the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, it can be said that the performance elements of “Cailian Qu” appear in dangakjeongjae

Ramiraga Opera Troupe(Ramira Gageukdan) was founded by Seo Uisik, Seo Hangseok, and An Giyeong, and its predecessor was the Columbia Musical Troupe(Columbia Akgeukdan). Seor Uisik decided to establish an indigenous opera troupe in order to culturally oppose the Japanese policy of suppressing speech and writing, and for this purpose, he formed Columbia Musical Troupe(Columbia Akgeukdan) under Columbia Record Company in partnership with Columbia Record Company. And he organized Joseonyeheungsa and took the lead in planning the works and operating the theater company, and entrusted the composition of the works and performance direction to his former colleague Seo Hangseok. In addition, An Giyeong was in charge of composing the music necessary for the opera and assigning it to Korean opera work. These series of efforts led to the birth of the Ramira Gageukdan. Ramira Gageukdan officially held its inaugural performance in December 1941, performing 〈Kongjwipatjwi〉 and 〈Gyeonujingnyeo〉 at Bumingwan. ince then, the two works and 〈Galaxy〉 have emerged as representative works of Ramiraga Opera Troupe(Ramira Gageukdan) and are remembered as typical examples of ‘Korean local opera’. This study aims to examine the founding process and origins of Ramira Gageukdan, as well as its representative performances and aesthetic characteristics. Ultimately, this study was designed to examine the situation of the Korean theater world in the 1940s, which was oriented toward indigenous theater troupes, and to discuss its historical significance.

Abstract
The food enzyme α‐amylase (4‐α‐d‐glucan glucanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.1) is produced with the non‐genetically modified microorganism Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain AE‐BAA by Amano Enzyme Inc. The food enzyme is intended to be used in eight food manufacturing processes. Since residual amounts of food enzyme–total organic solids (TOS) are removed in two processes, dietary exposure was calculated only for the remaining six food manufacturing processes. It was estimated to be up to 0.842 mg TOS/kg body weight per day in European populations. The production strain of the food enzyme fulfils the requirements for the qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach to safety assessment. Consequently, in the absence of other concerns, the Panel considered that toxicological studies were not needed for the safety assessment of this food enzyme. A search for the homology of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to known allergens was made and one match with a respiratory allergen was found. Known sources of food allergens were used in the manufacturing process, and the Panel considered that the risk of allergic reactions upon dietary exposure to this food enzyme cannot be excluded. Based on the data provided, the Panel concluded that this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns, under the intended conditions of use.
Evaluations of Grass Pea Relay Inter-Cropping with Wheat on Vertisol in Eastern Amhara Region, Ethiopia
Authors: Taye Tilahun , Abiye Wudu , Lebay Muluken
Published: November 2024

Grass peas have been cultivated in Ethiopia for a long time; they are drought-tolerant and unaffected by excessive rainfall. This study evaluated the effectiveness of grass pea relay intercropping with wheat for better production and its effect on soil moisture and fertility improvement in the Jama district, northeastern Amhara, Ethiopia. The location is mainly dominated by vertisol, a black-to-gray clay with high swelling and shrinking character. The treatments were evaluated by arranging the randomized block design.  At the tillering stage of wheat, planting grass peas on furrows and between rows with 30 cm spacing effectively contributes to soil fertility status and soil moisture. Grass pea is a legume crop that incorporates nitrogen and is also used as a cover crop that retains soil moisture. This type of planting technique is also efficient in the case of land utilization; a 1.9 ha sole cropping area would be required to produce the same yields as 1 ha of the intercropped system. Planting grass peas during the tillering stage of the wheat crop is recommended.

The study evaluated a variety of material alternatives including wood, bamboo, carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), and ceramics for use in high-performance paddleboard. The selection process considers factors such as strength, density, cost, and durability with a focus on the most relevant material criteria for the product. The weighted addition method is used to evaluate and rank several alternative materials that have been selected based on these criteria. Wood and bamboo are chosen for their sustainability, CFRP for their superior strength-to-weight ratio, and ceramics for their resistance to extreme conditions. The study found that CFRP had the highest score of around 85.40 due to its superior strength and lightweight. The framework proposed in this study could provide tools for rowing teams to optimize paddle materials so that they offer the potential for increased speed and performance in the competition.

Parentalidade no masculino
Authors:   Universidade dos Açores, Escola Superior de Saúde, Departamento de Enfermagem, Saúde da Família e Comunidade, Lalanda Piedade
Published: November 2024

A parentalidade representa uma relação com duas dimensões: por um lado o vínculo com um/a filho/a e, por outro, a partilha desse/a filho/a com outro elemento (do casal parental), não forçosamente numa vida conjugal ativa, uma vez que a vida familiar atual promove uma crescente autonomia das relações de parentalidade, coexistindo com o relacionamento conjugal. A parentalidade implica habitualmente coparentalidade, responsabilidade conjunta por alguém, filho ou filha. O presente texto aborda a parentalidade no masculino, partindo das respostas dadas por homens/pais, no âmbito da realização do projeto “PARENT”, o qual permitiu conhecer as mudanças provocadas pelas crises, na vida familiar e no projeto procriativo dos homens e mulheres, que residem no país, neste caso, em quatro contextos sociais e regionais diferentes no país. Face a uma redução drástica da taxa de fecundidade, foi possível verificar como a decisão de ter mais um filho, não pode ser reduzida a uma questão “financeira”, mas representa uma escolha onde se pondera a rede de suporte, a relação com o mercado de trabalho, a coparentalidade e a correspondente partilha de tarefas. Enquanto relação paritária, a parentalidade, não deve ser confundida com maternidade ou paternidade e implica um olhar descentrado da mulher, a quem, em geral, se atribui a principal responsabilidade pelas alterações dos indicadores de fecundidade. Olhar a parentalidade no masculino permite identificar outras dimensões nesse fenómeno, cuja baixa significativa tem preocupado os países europeus, particularmente Portugal. Com esta reflexão, porventura, podemos encarar a transformação dos papéis de género de outra forma, numa ótica de cooperação e corresponsabilização, ou seja, numa abordagem às condições que permitem uma parentalidade partilhada. Considerar o lugar do pai na parentalidade poderá significar um novo desenho das políticas de família, ainda agora centradas numa visão tradicional dos papéis parentais, que valoriza a mulher/mãe cuidadora e o homem/pai provedor.

Published: November 2024

o presente estudo analisa a formação universitária multicultural dos Oficiais de Polícia em Portugal, ministrada no Instituto Superior de Ciências Policiais e Segurança Interna (ISCPSI), à luz da Sociologia, os Direitos Humanos e o Direito Penal. Procurou-se compreender se o ensino dos Direitos Humanos na formação dos futuros Oficiais de Polícia, oriundos dos Países Africanos de Língua Oficial Portuguesa (PALOP), corresponde às necessidades da prática policial nos seus países, no contexto do crime de violência doméstica. Em termos metodológicos aplicou-se um inquérito por questionário, com questões abertas, a cinco dezenas de alunos de Angola, Cabo Verde, Guiné-Bissau, Moçambique e São Tomé e Príncipe, que frequentam o ISCPSI, a par de uma análise documental, legal, doutrinal e jurisprudencial. Os resultados demonstram que o modelo de ensino português tem um impacto transformador na formação dos alunos cooperantes, mas é necessário ajustar a estratégia pedagógica para permitir uma aproximação às realidades jurídico-sociais locais, tendo como limite intransponível, o respeito pela dignidade humana.

Published: November 2024

Diarrhea in neonatal ruminants, especially sheep, poses a serious challenge in livestock management, often leading to high mortality rates. The primary pathogens responsible are Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli. This study explores the antibacterial potential of Psidium guajava (guava) leaf extracts as an alternative to conventional treatments. Guava leaves, collected from Tubah subdivision, Mezam, were processed into aqueous and ethanolic extracts. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of bioactive compounds including resins, alkaloids, saponins, glycosides, tannins, and flavonoids. Antibacterial activity was assessed using agar well diffusion and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) methods. The aqueous extract displayed dose-dependent antibacterial effects, with inhibition zones of 16.0 mm against E. coli and 15.2 mm against S. typhimurium at 100 mg/ml, which were less effective compared to Gentamycin (19 mm). The MIC values for the aqueous extract were 6.25–3.13 mg/ml for E. coli and 12.5–6.25 mg/ml for S. Typhimurium. In contrast, the ethanolic extract showed slightly superior efficacy with inhibition zones of 16.2 mm for E. coli and 17.6 mm for S. Typhimurium at 100 mg/ml. The MIC values for the ethanolic extract were 3.13–1.56 mg/ml for E. coli and 6.25–3.13 mg/ml for S. typhimurium, indicating higher potency than the aqueous extract. Conclusively, both guava leaf extracts exhibit significant antibacterial properties, with the ethanolic extract being more potent. These results validate the traditional use of Psidium guajava and suggest its potential as a natural antimicrobial agent, though further research is needed to optimize its therapeutic applications.

The increasing sophistication of tax evasion schemes poses significant challenges to fiscal authorities worldwide, necessitating advanced technological solutions for fraud detection. This comprehensive review examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in modern tax administration systems, focusing on their application in detecting and preventing tax fraud. The paper analyzes various AI methodologies, including machine learning algorithms, deep learning networks, and natural language processing techniques, evaluating their effectiveness in identifying suspicious patterns and anomalies in tax-related data. Our review encompasses both theoretical frameworks and practical implementations across different jurisdictions, highlighting successful case studies and emerging challenges. The findings indicate that AI-powered systems demonstrate superior accuracy in detecting complex fraud patterns compared to traditional rule-based approaches, with some implementations showing up to 85% improvement in fraud detection rates. However, challenges persist regarding data quality, privacy concerns, and the need for continuous model adaptation to evolving fraud tactics. This review also addresses the regulatory implications and ethical considerations of implementing AI in tax administration, providing recommendations for policymakers and tax authorities to optimize their fraud detection capabilities while maintaining fairness and transparency in their operations.

Enhancing supply chain traceability and efficiency in the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector is critical for mitigating counterfeit losses and ensuring product integrity. This study proposes a comprehensive model for the implementation of blockchain technology tailored to the unique demands of the FMCG supply chain. The model emphasizes transparency, accountability, and real-time data sharing among stakeholders, including manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and consumers. By integrating blockchain, the FMCG industry can create a tamper-proof record of each transaction and product movement, significantly improving traceability from production to point-of-sale. Key components of the proposed model include a decentralized ledger that captures product information, provenance data, and transaction history. This approach facilitates efficient tracking of products, enhances supply chain visibility, and enables stakeholders to authenticate goods at any stage. Moreover, by employing blockchain’s smart contract functionality, the model allows for automated compliance verification and streamlined processes, reducing the time and resources required for audits and inspections. The study further explores potential extensions of blockchain technology to incorporate smart contracts that can automate various supply chain operations. These contracts can facilitate automatic payments upon delivery confirmation, trigger inventory replenishment orders based on real-time data, and enforce compliance with regulatory requirements without human intervention. By leveraging these technological advancements, FMCG companies can significantly reduce counterfeit losses and improve overall supply chain efficiency. This not only protects brand reputation but also fosters consumer trust, which is vital in an increasingly competitive market. The implications of this research highlight the transformative potential of blockchain technology in the FMCG sector, paving the way for future innovations in traceability and efficiency. In conclusion, this study presents a robust framework for blockchain implementation in the FMCG supply chain, addressing critical issues of traceability and counterfeiting while offering pathways for future enhancements through smart contracts.
