Published: February 2022

A atuação da universidade junto à sociedade pode ser vista através de projetos de extensão como o “Horta Escola” da UCDB (Universidade Católica Dom Bosco). Criado há vários anos tem contribuído com o desenvolvimento de atividades ligadas ao cultivo de plantas do grupo das hortaliças, medicinais e plantas alimentícias não convencionais (PANC). A implantação das hortas escolares visa influenciar os hábitos alimentares dos alunos e servir como laboratório vivo para as disciplinas. Os cultivos se dão no formato de hortas convencionais e também hortas verticais utilizando os mais diferentes materiais que as escolas, CRAs (Centro de Referência de Assistência Social), EMEIs (Escola Municipal de Educação Infantil) e outras entidades disponibilizam. A parceria entre o projeto de extensão e as comunidades atendidas se dá através da implantação das hortas, acompanhamento técnico, palestras e oficinas. Nas palestras e oficinas são abordados assuntos como escolha da área para a horta, irrigação, produção de mudas, controle fitossanitário, produção de húmus, tratos culturais, PANC, hortas verticais e alimentação saudável. Durante as fases que a horta passa até que a entidade parceira consiga conduzi-la de forma independente, destaca-se sempre um responsável, que coordena as atividades sendo que nas escolas e EMEIs geralmente é um dos professores e nos CRAs é a direção e o encarregado dos cuidados gerais. Percebe-se que esta figura é determinante para o sucesso das propostas da horta. Nas escolas e EMEIs o envolvimento das crianças é bastante representativo principalmente nos primeiros anos. As crianças demonstram muita curiosidade e relatam o que fazem em suas residências quanto ao cultivo das hortaliças. Nessas instituições as professoras descrevem a alterações positivas no comportamento dos alunos, muitos esperam ansiosos pelas atividades na horta. Os adolescentes se interessam mais pelos aspectos científicos relacionados aos cultivos, sendo que a maioria participa das atividades na horta. Os resultados obtidos pelas parcerias têm demonstrado que é de extrema importância o incentivo a produção de alimentos no ambiente urbano e que muitos se interessam e tem curiosidades sobre o assunto. Percebe-se também que a implantação das hortas em ambiente escolar serve de vitrine e pode estimular o aproveitamento de áreas urbanas para produção de uma variedade de alimentos, enriquecendo assim a alimentação da população envolvida e promovendo mudanças nos hábitos alimentares dos alunos e de toda comunidade escolar.

Published: February 2022

Antibody binding to cell surface proteins plays a crucial role in immunity, and the location of an epitope can altogether determine the immunological outcome of a host-target interaction. Techniques available today for epitope identification are costly, time-consuming, and unsuited for high-throughput analysis. Fast and efficient screening of epitope location can be useful for the development of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies and vaccines. Cellular morphology typically varies, and antibodies often bind heterogeneously across a cell surface, making traditional particle-averaging strategies challenging for accurate native antibody localization. In the present work, we have developed a method, SiteLoc, for imaging-based molecular localization on cellular surface proteins. Nanometer-scale resolution is achieved through localization in one dimension, namely, the distance from a bound ligand to a reference surface. This is done by using topological image averaging. Our results show that this method is well suited for antibody binding site measurements on native cell surface morphology and that it can be applied to other molecular distance estimations as well.
Complex effects of kinase localization revealed by compartment-specific regulation of protein kinase A activity
Authors: LaCroix Rebecca , Lin Benjamin , Kang Tae-Yun , Levchenko Andre
Published: February 2022

Kinase activity in signaling networks frequently depends on regulatory subunits that can both inhibit activity by interacting with the catalytic subunits and target the kinase to distinct molecular partners and subcellular compartments. Here, using a new synthetic molecular interaction system, we show that translocation of a regulatory subunit of the protein kinase A (PKA-R) to the plasma membrane has a paradoxical effect on the membrane kinase activity. It can both enhance it at lower translocation levels, even in the absence of signaling inputs, and inhibit it at higher translocation levels, suggesting its role as a linker that can both couple and decouple signaling processes in a concentration-dependent manner. We further demonstrate that superposition of gradients of PKA-R abundance across single cells can control the directionality of cell migration, reversing it at high enough input levels. Thus, complex in vivo patterns of PKA-R localization can drive complex phenotypes, including cell migration.

Atmospheric Particulate Matter (PM) is one of the leading environmental risk factors for the global burden of disease. Increasing epidemiological studies demonstrated that PM plays a significant role in CNS demyelinating disorders; however, there is no direct testimony of this, and yet the molecular mechanism by which the occurrence remains unclear. Using multiple in vivo and in vitro strategies, in the present study we demonstrate that PM exposure aggravates neuroinflammation, myelin injury, and dysfunction of movement coordination ability via boosting microglial pro-inflammatory activities, in both the pathological demyelination and physiological myelinogenesis animal models. Indeed, pharmacological disturbance combined with RNA-seq and ChIP-seq suggests that TLR-4/NF-kB signaling mediated a core network of genes that control PM-triggered microglia pathogenicity. In summary, our study defines a novel atmospheric environmental mechanism that mediates PM-aggravated microglia pathogenic activities, and establishes a systematic approach for the investigation of the effects of environmental exposure in neurologic disorders.
Humans perseverate on punishment avoidance goals in multigoal reinforcement learning

Published: February 2022

Managing multiple goals is essential to adaptation, yet we are only beginning to understand computations by which we navigate the resource demands entailed in so doing. Here, we sought to elucidate how humans balance reward seeking and punishment avoidance goals, and relate this to variation in its expression within anxious individuals. To do so, we developed a novel multigoal pursuit task that includes trial-specific instructed goals to either pursue reward (without risk of punishment) or avoid punishment (without the opportunity for reward). We constructed a computational model of multigoal pursuit to quantify the degree to which participants could disengage from the pursuit goals when instructed to, as well as devote less model-based resources toward goals that were less abundant. In general, participants (n = 192) were less flexible in avoiding punishment than in pursuing reward. Thus, when instructed to pursue reward, participants often persisted in avoiding features that had previously been associated with punishment, even though at decision time these features were unambiguously benign. In a similar vein, participants showed no significant downregulation of avoidance when punishment avoidance goals were less abundant in the task. Importantly, we show preliminary evidence that individuals with chronic worry may have difficulty disengaging from punishment avoidance when instructed to seek reward. Taken together, the findings demonstrate that people avoid punishment less flexibly than they pursue reward. Future studies should test in larger samples whether a difficulty to disengage from punishment avoidance contributes to chronic worry.

Published: February 2022

Ascorbic acid (AsA) is an important nutrient in celery, the conversion of D-mannose-1-P to GDP-D-mannose catalyzed by GDP-D-mannose pyrophosphorylase (GMPase) represents the first committed step in the biosynthesis of AsA. To clarify the function of the AgGMP gene of celery, the AgGMP gene was cloned from celery cv. ‘Jinnan Shiqin’ . It contains an open reading frame (ORF) with the length of 1,086 bp, encoding 361 amino acids. AgGMP protein was highly conserved among different plant species. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the GMP proteins from celery and carrot belonged to the same branch. AgGMP protein was mainly composed of three α-helixes and certain random coils. No signal peptide was found in the AgGMP protein. The subcellular localization indicated that the AgGMP protein was located in the cytoplasm. The relative expression levels of AgGMP in ‘Jinnan Shiqin’ were significantly up-regulated at 2 h and 4 h under drought stress treatments. AsA contents in transgenic Arabidopsis lines hosting AgGMP gene were higher than that in wild type plants, and the root lengths were also longer in the MS medium containing 300 mM mannitol. The present study provides useful evidence for the functional involvement of AgGMP in regulating AsA accumulation and response to drought stress in celery.

Published: February 2022

Introduction: Liver disorders associated with pregnancy are important medical disorders that carries grave prognosis and challenging for both obstetricians and hepatologists. It affects about 3% of pregnancies worldwide and about 3-5% pregnancies in India. It can present with various symptoms like yellowish discolouration of sclera, dark coloured urine, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain etc. The liver disorders unique to pregnancy includes-hyperemesis gravidarum, preeclampsia, eclampsia with liver dysfunction, HELLP syndrome, Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (IHCP) and acute fatty liver of pregnancy. Aim: This study aims to evaluate demographic variables, causes of liver dysfunction during pregnancy and foeto-maternal outcome of pregnancies complicated by jaundice and liver dysfunction. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective hospital based observational study on the pregnant women admitted with jaundice or any liver disorders in department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, Jharkhand over a period of one year from March 2018 to February 2019. The incidence of liver disorders in pregnancy, its causes, the foetal outcome in terms of preterm birth, stillbirth, Foetal Growth Restriction (FGR) and Intrauterine Foetal Death (IUFD), the maternal outcome in terms of mode of delivery, complications, need for ICU admissions and maternal mortality were evaluated. Descriptive statistics like percentage and mean calculation were used to interpret the data. Results: Out of 8264 obstetrics admissions, 126 had liver disorder in pregnancy, incidence being 1.52%. Total 87 (69%) cases were primigravida, 115 (91.3%) cases presented during 3rd trimester of pregnancy, 101 (80.1%) were unbooked for our institution. A total of 92 (73%) were referred to us. Preeclampsia, eclampsia, HELLP syndrome was the most common cause of liver dysfunction accounting for 46.8% followed by IHCP in 31 (24.6%) cases. Out of 126, 115 women admitted in labour, of which 75 (65.3%) delivered vaginally, 38 (33%) taken for caesarean section and 2 died undelivered. Nine cases were admitted in 1st trimester and two cases in 2nd trimester who did not turn up after discharge. Neonatal mortality was seen in 18 (15.6%). Conclusion: Liver dysfunction in pregnancy carries grave prognosis with high incidence of perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. This study emphasises the need for regular Antenatal Care (ANC), need to remain vigilant for preventable causes like haemolytic jaundice, early diagnosis, proper treatment and timely referral of liver disorders with pregnancy to prevent the complications and improve foetal and maternal outcome.

Authors: Mallick Rizwana , Pisulkar Sweta Kale , Reddy Srinivas Gosla , Jain Vanshika
Published: February 2022

Introduction: Orthodontic treatment is commonly undertaken in cleft patients for space closure in cleft region. However, it is only able to achieve 50%-75% closure, resorting to use of dental prosthesis in form of removable or fixed partial dentures. Dental implant-based rehabilitation provides a suitable solution however their success depends on the quality and quantity of the residual bone. Resorption of bone graft is a known scientific fact and thus, it is important to know the minimum time after which the implant can be placed so that the grafted bone is minimally lost. However, this time gap between final bone grafting and implant placement in cleft patients has not been well established. Aim: To determine whether the clinical and/or radiological success of dental implant-based rehabilitation depends on the time elapsed between the last grafting procedure and dental implant placement in cleft region with missing permanent teeth in a unilateral or bilateral alveolar cleft patient. Materials and Methods: The systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews) via registration number CRD42020187709. Systematic review was done at GSR Institute of Craniomaxillofacial and Facial Plastic Surgery, Hyderabad, Telangana, India, between March 2020 to July 2020 wherein articles in electronic databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, (Literatura LatinoAmericana de Ciencias da Saude), Cochrane Library and Google scholar, published between January 2011 to February 2020 were searched. Combination of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms used included “cleft palate”, “cleft lip”, “alveolar bone grafting”, and “survival” as some of the key terms. Additional information was sought by contacting the corresponding authors. Search items included were cleft, alveolar bone grafting and dental implants. Only studies with details of time gap between last grating procedure and implant placement were included. Data extraction was done independently by two authors using pre-defined fields. Results: Total of 12 studies were included wherein 255 dental implants were placed in 180 patients. In patients undergoing tertiary grafting, a time of 0 to 26 months was given prior to implant placement while in patients where tertiary grafting was not done, a time of 24 to 144 months was seen between two procedures. A high implant success of 95%-100% was seen irrespective of the grafted bone. The JBI (Joanna Briggs Institute) tool of risk of bias assessment was used. Low level of evidence was presented by case reports and case series. Conclusion: In case of tertiary grafting, a healing period of 3-6 months was seen to be sufficient for successful implant treatment however, a need for more comprehensive studies was recognised due to lack of mutual assessment parameters and shared information in the currently reviewed literature.
Detection and Grading of Early-Stage Cochlear Damage in Land Hunters by Comparison of Extended High-Frequency Audiograms with Conventional High-Frequency Audiograms
Authors: Tinazli Remzi , Tinazli Mehtap
Published: February 2022

Background and Objectives: Firearms used by hunters produce intermittent loud noises. These sounds, which are above the safe limits set by the World Health Organization, can cause cochlear damage. Detection of cochlear damage at an early stage, before clinical complaints appear, will enable serious treatment measures.Subjects and Methods: A total of 105 male hunters without hearing complaints and 45 controls who were not exposed to loud noise were compared and investigated. Extended high-frequency audiograms and conventional audiograms were used to compare the groups.Results: The problem detection rates of conventional high-frequency audiometry, extended high-frequency audiometry, and both tests together were 59.1, 78.1, and 82.9%, respectively. There was no statistical difference between audiometric values at the extended high-frequency and at the acoustic notch at 4 kHz. When the extended high-frequency audiogram was grouped, values at the frequencies of 16, 14, and 12 kHz were affected before that at the acoustic notch at 4 kHz.Conclusions: The results of our study indicate that hearing at extended high frequencies was affected before that at conventional high frequencies in individuals exposed to intermittent loud sounds. The first affected extended high frequencies were 16, 14, and 12 kHz. Although there was no statistically significant relationship between values at the notch and at extended high frequencies, the presence of a notch at 4 kHz, provided that 8 kHz is normal, may indicate a later stage of damage.

Authors: Koh Sung Min , Kim Younghac , Park Joo Hyun , Cho Young Sang
Published: February 2022

Otosclerosis is a common cause of adult-onset hearing impairment, and stapedotomy is often performed as surgical treatment. Several studies have reported the complications of stapedotomy surgery; piston wire prosthesis (PWP) disruption or dislocation secondary to indirect force attributable to head trauma is described in many patients. Most PWPs that get displaced are slanted or are completely dislodged from the stapedotomy site and lodged within the middle ear. PWP dislocation into the vestibule is extremely rare. A 65-year-old woman who was involved in a traffic accident underwent computed tomography, which revealed a right-sided PWP in the vestibule. Two weeks after the accident, we observed conductive hearing loss associated with a large air-bone gap (ABG, 47 dB) accompanied by spontaneous nystagmus directed to the right without any change in nystagmus following changes in head or body position. She underwent endoscopic exploratory tympanotomy under general anesthesia, 23 days after the injury. We gently pulled the PWP from the vestibule and repositioned it at its original site with a length of 5.2 mm on the long process of the incus. Pure tone audiometry performed 8 months postoperatively showed a decrease in the ABG from 47 to 10 dB without any complications.

In Ayurveda, the commonly used term is Pariksha. Pariksha means viewing or examining an object from all sides and aspects. There are different synonyms for Pariksha like Pramana, Jnana, Upalabdhi. Before prescribing medicine or treatment for an individual, the examination is the basic primary tool used to define both Rogabala and Rogibala. The purpose of Pariksha is to obtain knowledge regarding the line of treatment that should be adopted to correct the morbidity. Hence, a patient should be examined with the help of Prakruti, Vikruti, Sara, Samhanana, Pramana, Satmya, Satwa, Aharashakti, Vyayamashakti and Vaya. These ten factors are considered Dashavidha Pariksha, which helps determine the Rogabala and Rogibala of the individual. Pariksha should be done systemically to get the outcome effectively. It is essential to know the individual's condition to carry out proper treatment modalities.

Published: February 2022

Ayurveda is based on time tested observations and medical experiences. It has immense potential in solving many challenging and unresolved problems of the medical world. Arshas (Haemorrhoids) and Bhagandhara (Fistula in Ano) are the most common diseases occurring in the Ano-rectal region. Ayurvedic literature had mentioned Sastra Karmas (surgical procedures) and Anusastra Karma (Para surgical procedures) like Kshara Karma, Kshara Sutra & Agni Karma in the management of these diseases. In Anorectal disorders, some cases have both piles and fistula-in-ano. It is difficult to treat both diseases simultaneously, leading to a bad prognosis. In modern literature, operative techniques like hemorrhoidectomy, Fistulectomy and Fistulotomy are mentioned. After modern surgery, severe postoperative complications like recurrent sepsis, continuous serous discharge, faecal incontinence, and the high recurrence rate is a matter of great concern. Arsho-Bhagandhara is a rare case in which a patient suffers from Arshas and Bhagandhara. This case report describes the successful management of Arsho-Bhagandhara. Here we operated on the patient diagnosed with Arsho-Bhagandhara, the details of which are furnished in the below article. Ksharalepa for internal piles masses was done on OT, and Ksharasutra application in fistula was made. Ksharasutra was changed every seventh day, and simultaneous cutting and healing of the tract were observed. The piles and fistula track wound healed within two months entirely without complication. This case demonstrated the advantages of Ksharalepa and Ksharasutra in the successful management of piles and fistula at the same time.
A CONCEPTUAL STUDY ON BALA POSHANA
Authors: C Naseeba , Chowta Jithesh
Published: February 2022

The term ‘Poshana’ means nutrition. It is defined as providing or obtaining the food necessary for health and growth. According to Acharya Kashyapa, though one may be taking medicine, one can’t exist without food. It means the modification of dietic pattern itself cures many disorders. Also, Acharya Kashyapa devotes an entire chapter for Bhojya Vidhi Vikalpa. Growth is the global indicator of children’s wellbeing; for this, sufficient intake of Ahara is essential. For adequate and appropriate growth, nutrition is the most critical factor. While good nutrition is vital throughout childhood, it is crucial during the first five years of a child’s life, particularly in the first 2-3 years when rapid growth occurs and when the child is entirely dependent on the mother and the family for food. According to WHO and UNICEF estimates, 60% of child deaths are due to malnutrition only. Also, 1 in 3 of the world’s malnourished children lives in India. Thus, children and adolescents should consume a balanced diet to ensure proper growth and development and stay healthy and disease-free.
A CONCEPTUAL REVIEW ON THE ROLE OF VIRUDDHA AHARA IN FEMALE INFERTILITY
Authors: R S Anjana , A K Anoop
Published: February 2022

Viruddha Ahara is a valuable concept mentioned in Ayurveda. Ayurveda says that a specific diet and its combinations that interfere with the metabolism and have properties opposite to that of the tissue are called Viruddha Ahara or incompatible diets. The present article aims to review the role of Viruddha Ahara in female infertility. Acharya Charaka has mentioned that such types of inconsistent diet can lead to many diseases like impotence, visarpa, blindness, ascites, insanity, fistula in ano, coma, intoxication, abdominal distension, stiffness in the neck, anaemia, indigestion, various skin diseases, intestinal disorders, swelling, gastric irritations, fever, rhinitis and infertility. Hence it is clear that Viruddha Ahara can lead to disorders up to infertility and thus impacts Shukra dhatu.

OS ESTUDOS GALEGOS NA FORMAÇÃO DOS CURSOS DE LETRAS: O PERCURSO DA UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DO PARANÁ
Authors: Olmo Francisco Calvo del , Souza Sweder
Published: February 2022

Ainda hoje os Estudos Galegos continuam estando (quase) ausentes no panorama universitário brasileiro. Fato paradoxal, pois o papel da Galiza e da língua galega são essenciais para a compreensão da história e da atualidade da língua portuguesa (LAGARES; MONTEAGUDO, 2012). Assim, para preencher minimamente essa lacuna, desde 2016 é ofertada a disciplina de Introdução à Língua e à Cultura Galegas, como optativa para os/as estudantes do curso de graduação em Letras da Universidade Federal do Paraná, em Curitiba. A disciplina, com carga horária de 30 horas, aborda de maneira global os aspectos culturais, artístico-literários, linguísticos e históricos do galego e traça pontes com o português brasileiro; empregando ferramentas metodológicas procedentes das abordagens plurais para o ensino de línguas e de culturas (CANDELIER et al., 2012). Dentro desse contexto geral, a presente pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa e quantitativa, propõe questionários estruturados para examinar a familiarização das/os alunas/os com os Estudos Galegos tanto ao início da optativa quanto ao finalizá-la. Dessa forma, podemos entender a contribuição de tais estudos para a formação dos/as estudantes, futuros profissionais dos Estudos da Linguagem. Objetivamos alcançar uma compreensão, por meio das respostas, da consciência adquirida ao longo da disciplina e observar como isso permite aproximar as/os estudantes da UFPR ao âmbito linguístico e cultural da Galiza.
LER PARA CRER: ALGUMAS REFLEXÕES SOBRE AS LEGENDAS E AS IMAGENS NAS CANTIGAS DE SANTA MARIA
Authors: Antunes Junior Guilherme
Published: February 2022

O presente trabalho busca refletir sobre as relações entre texto e imagem nas Cantigas de Santa Maria, manuscrito em galego-português, sob patrocínio de Alfonso X, monarca de Castela e Leão do século XIII. A partir da comparação, busco demonstrar as incoerências entre as miniaturas de três cantigas com seus respectivos rótulos. A conclusão é de que os discursos visuais e textuais são dialéticos, interdependentes ou autônomos, sempre a depender dos contextos de produção e os sentidos históricos da fonte.
PEDAGOXÍA QUEER E EDUCACIÓN LINGÜÍSTICA: UNHA APROXIMACIÓN A TRAVÉS DA REFLEXIÓN
Authors: Amarelo Daniel
Published: February 2022

Este traballo visa reflexionar sobre a integración na aula de lingua(s) dunha pedagoxía queer e emancipadora que cuestione a heteronormatividade e o binarismo sexo-xenérico. Ao longo destas páxinas, realizamos unha incursión pola teoría queer aplicada á docencia e contextualizada no sistema educativo da Galiza e propomos algunhas intervencións didácticas a modo de propostas performativas que poderían ser testadas no futuro. Presentamos esta aproximación como un ensaio que tenta incorporar ao ensino secundario unha forma de ser docente e de ser alumnx que se centre no fluído, na (procura da) pregunta máis do que na resposta clara e unívoca e na experimentación por medio do xogo lingüístico. Para iso, repasamos os principais fundamentos das pedagoxías queer en articulación coa lingüística e co ensino de linguas, para fecharmos con algunhas actividades posidentitarias para as aulas de galego/portugués.

Authors: Siaba Lucía Sande
Published: February 2022

Este traballo céntrase na representación das soldadeiras nas cantigas de escarnio e maldizer da lírica medieval galego-portuguesa e ten como obxectivo reunir todas as características tanto físicas como psicolóxicas que son atribuídas a elas nas 43 cantigas nas que, segundo Graça Videira Lopes, aparecen mencionadas estas mulleres. Para isto, utilizarase o corpus de textos dispoñíbel na Base de datos da Lírica Profana Galego-Portuguesa do Centro Ramón Piñeiro para a Investigación en Humanidades, así como as antoloxías de Graça Videira Lopes e de Xosé Bieito Arias Freixedo, ademais doutros materiais aos que se irá facendo referencia ao longo do traballo. Con isto, preténdese ofrecer unha imaxe panorámica da representación das soldadeiras nas cantigas satíricas.
Study on the Analysis of the Temperature-Rise Tendencies of Insulated Steel Fire Doors According to the Properties of the Core Materials
Authors: Kim Minjae , Min Sehong
Published: February 2022

In this study, the relationship between the temperature-rise tendencies and properties of mineral wool was analyzed for cases of mineral wool being used as a filler inside insulated fire doors installed in the evacuation space of apartments. The density and thickness of the mineral wool were separately analyzed; as a result, it was found that the higher the density and the greater the thickness, the more suppressed the temperature rise. However, the difference in the rising temperature between the highest density (150 kg/m3) and lowest density (100 kg/m3) mineral wools was 10 K, which did not appear to be significant. The temperature difference between the highest thickness (60 mm) and lowest thickness (45 mm) mineral wools was 60 K, indicating that the temperature rise was more affected by the thickness than the density of the mineral wool. In addition, it was suggested that the performance tests of fire doors, which are currently performed on both sides of a door in accordance with the fire resistance test method, are performed twice on the side from which the door is pulled, which corresponds with the direction in which insulated fire doors are actually installed.
Characteristics of Biopolymer Guar Gum Solution Injection for Eco-Friendly Ground Reinforcement
Authors: Ryou Jae-Eun , Jung Jongwon
Published: February 2022

Recently, research on the use of biopolymers for environmentally friendly soil improvement has been actively conducted. Biopolymer soil treatment has various effects, such as the enhancement of soil strength, reduction of hydraulic conductivity, and enhancement of vegetation. In this study, the flow and injection characteristics of guar gum solutions were analyzed to develop biopolymer-based injection materials. Viscosity measurements and micromodel experiments were conducted to analyze the flow and injection properties. Viscosity measurements indicated that the guar gum solution showed a tendency of shear-thinning, in which the viscosity decreased as the shear rate increased. By applying the Power-law, the consistency index tended to increase as the concentration of aqueous guar gum solution increased. However, no clear trend was observed for the behavior index. As a result of the micromodel experiment, the pore saturation tended to increase as the volumetric flow rate and concentration of the guar gum solution increased. This is because of an increase in the injection pressure and apparent viscosity. When applied to an actual field, the required injection pressure varies depending on the ground conditions. Therefore, the results of this study will be used as fundamental data for determining the concentration of aqueous guar gum solution suitable for ground conditions.

Although ether‐based electrolytes have gradually been identified as a vital factor to achieving the excellent electrochemical performance observed in transition metal sulfide (TMS) anodes in sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs), there is still a lack of a fundamental understanding about the origin of the positive effect of ether‐based electrolytes on TMS anodes. Herein, a microspherical CoS2 anode has been taken as a representative of TMS. It has been demonstrated that the sodiation process involves not only a traditional conversion reaction taking place between solid‐state CoS2 and Na2S, but also a solid–liquid phase conversion process between active materials and soluble sodium polysulfide (Na2Sn, 2 < n < 8). More importantly, it is first revealed that the long‐term stability and the reversibility of CoS2 anode are mainly due to the solid–liquid conversion behavior, which makes bulk CoS2 gradually develop into a stable porous structure with fast Na+ transport kinetics and small stress/strain during cycling. Consequently, the CoS2 electrode delivers remarkable long‐cycle life with an ultrahigh capacity retention rate of 94.8% even after 1500 cycles at 2 A g−1 (only 2.13 mAh g−1 fading per 100 cycles) and high volumetric capacity of 949 mAh cm−3 at a high active material loading of 3.3 mg cm−2.

The development of ionic conductors with extreme stretchability, superior ionic conductivity, and harsh‐environment resistance is urgent while challenging because the tailoring of these performances is mutually exclusive. Herein, a hydrophobicity‐constrained association strategy is presented for fabricating a liquid‐free ion‐conducting fluorinated elastomer (ICFE) with microphase‐separated structures. Hydrophilic nanodomains with long‐range ordering and selectively enriched Li ions provided high‐efficient conductive pathways, yielding impressive room‐temperature ionic conductivity of 3.5 × 10–3 S m–1. Hydrophobic nanodomains with abundant and reversible hydrogen bonds endow the ICFE with superior damage‐tolerant performances including ultrastretchability (>6000%), large toughness (17.1 MJ m–3) with notch insensitivity, antifatigue ability, and high‐efficiency self‐healability. Due to its liquid‐free characteristic and surface‐enriched hydrophobic nanodomains, the ICFE demonstrates an extreme temperature tolerance (−20 to 300 °C) and unique underwater resistance. The resultant ICFE is assembled into a proof‐of‐concept skin‐inspired sensor, showing impressive capacitive sensing performance with high sensitivity and wide‐strain‐range linearity (gauge factor to 1.0 in a strain range of 0–350%), excellent durability (>1000 cycles), and unique waterproofness in monitoring of complex human motions. It is believed that the hydrophobicity‐constrained association method boosts the fabrication of stretchable ionic conductors holding a great promise in skin‐inspired ionotronics with harsh‐environment tolerance.
