Authors: Pomuchenq Felipe Junior Mauricio , Locatelli Andrea Brandão , Pizetta Adelar João
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo analisa a experiência de uma Escola do Campo em Pedagogia da Alternância, localizada no norte do estado do Espírito Santo, e possui como objetivo apresentar as possibilidades de integração de saberes a partir do currículo de uma Escola Família Agrícola (EFA). Parte do pressuposto de que o Campo é um espaço rico em diversos conhecimentos, culturas, e que ao longo do tempo foi marginalizado. Utiliza-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, recorrendo à revisão bibliográfica e documental. Utilizamos as contribuições de Santos (2010) para aprofundar a discussão sobre a importância dos diversos conhecimentos a partir da perspectiva da ecologia de saberes, de Caldart (2012), Arroyo (1999), Zamberlan (1996), Nosella (2012) e Gimonet (1999) para debate e compreensão sobre os conceitos e princípios da Educação do Campo e da Pedagogia da Alternância, e de Jesus (2011) e Gerke (2023) para pesquisar e fundamentar as contribuições das Mediações da Pedagogia da Alternância na/para integração de saberes. A escola pesquisada possuiuma proposta pedagógica que constante e criticamente investiga e compreende a realidade dos/as estudantes, potencializa a participação das famílias e demais sujeitos/as envolvidos/as nos processos de formação da EFA. Verifica-se o potencial que as Mediações da Pedagogia da Alternância possuem para a promoção de uma formação integral, emancipatória, crítica e participativa dos/as estudantes, podendo ser apontada como uma alternativa importante para outras modalidades de educação que ousam realizar a integração de saberes no currículo.
O método dialético em pesquisas educacionais: contribuições para investigações histórico-culturais
Authors: Castro Rafael Fonseca de
Published: September 2024

O presente ensaio objetiva tecer contribuições teórico-práticas sobre o uso do método dialético em pesquisas educacionais. Sua relevância se justifica pela escassez de produções com orientações didáticas relacionadas à aplicação do método dialético em pesquisas na área da Educação. Quando direcionadas ao referido método, centram-se em seus aspectos epistemológicos, o que é fundamental, todavia, são pouco explicativas no sentido de orientar os pesquisadores que intencionam utilizá-lo em suas pesquisas quanto aos procedimentos metodológicos a serem adotados, principalmente no que se refere ao processo de análise de dados. Especificamente, as contribuições aqui suscitadas estão relacionadas a pesquisas que se baseiem em pressupostos da Teoria Histórico-Cultural. O texto está organizado, primeiramente, de forma a contextualizar as bases teóricas que sustentam o que se compreende por dialética, com contribuições de autores clássicos e de pesquisadores brasileiros sobre a temática. Na sequência, com fins didáticos, relaciona conceitos-chave da pesquisa qualitativa (lógica formal) e da pesquisa de base dialética (lógica dialética), adotando como exemplos uma pesquisa de doutorado e duas pesquisas de mestrado que fizeram uso do supracitado método em investigações baseadas na Teoria Histórico-Cultural. Nas considerações finais, é enfatizado o teor didático-explicativo do presente ensaio e que o mesmo apresenta contributos que não cessam em si mesmos, mas que abrem espaço para promover mais discussões didático-metodológicas acerca do uso do método dialético em pesquisas educacionais.
Concepções docentes sobre o processo avaliativo de alunos do Atendimento Educacional Especializado
Authors: Cunha Suênia Roberta Ferreira de Carvalho , Massaro Munique
Published: September 2024

As concepções docentes podem influenciar diretamente a atuação no processo de avaliação dos alunos, principalmente àqueles público-alvo da Educação Especial. Assim, o objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar as concepções de professoras do Atendimento Educacional Especializado e do ensino  comum no processo avaliativo de alunos público-alvo da Educação Especial no modelo de ensino remoto. Foi realizado um Estudo de Caso em uma escola pública municipal com duas professoras. Os dados foram coletados por meio de observações nos grupos de WhatsApp, mensagens, ligações telefônicas e entrevistas. Todos os contatos geraram registros no diário de bordo. Já as mensagens escritas, os áudios trocados pelo WhatsApp e as entrevistas foram transcritas de forma fidedigna. Para a realização da análise dos dados, utilizou-se a técnica de triangulação e a Análise de Conteúdo. Os resultados demonstraram que as concepções das professoras acerca dos alunos público-alvo da Educação Especial são restritas e limitadas por um viés médico e as concepções acerca da avaliação são baseadas por uma avaliação classificatória, pautada na mensuração da aprendizagem. Ressalta-se que se faz necessário fomentar a reflexão acerca das concepções dos professores para promover efetivamente a educação inclusiva.

El rol de las instituciones del estado en la lucha contra las drogas en los países productores de hoja de coca
Authors: García Díaz Jaime A. , Stöckli Gabriela
Published: September 2024

El tráfico ilícito de drogas, comúnmente llamado narcotráfico, es un fenómeno con múltiples aristas, que aglutina a diferentes sectores económicos, diversos actores y genera efectos colaterales; es “una actividad económica [ilícita] que busca acumular ganancias a través del control de determinadas áreas del mercado de drogas” (Santana, 2004:19). Esta actividad se desarrolla mediante una división de actividades que implican eslabones con tareas y actores específicos. De esta manera, el narcotráfico impacta social, ambiental, política y económicamente a la sociedad en la cual se desenvuelve, teniendo como campo de acción territorios en los cuales el alcance y densidad del Estado son mínimas.
Alianza del Pacífico: situación, perspectivas y propuestas para su consolidación
Authors: Novak Fabián , Namihas Sandra
Published: September 2024

América Latina ha sido objeto de numerosos intentos de integración; muchos de ellos fracasaron desde el inicio, mientras que otros han perdurado en el tiempo aunque con escasa efectividad. La Alianza del Pacífico constituye un nuevo intento de integración, habiendo alcanzado en muy corto tiempo una serie de logros y avances que han despertado el interés de la comunidad internacional. Muchos podrían pensar que el entusiasmo inicial de este proceso terminará naufragando al igual que los anteriores; sin embargo, la voluntad política exteriorizada por los Estados que conforman este nuevo bloque sumado al respaldo de su empresariado, parecería demostrar lo contrario. Desde el 2011 en que se creó la Alianza, esta ha sabido sortear algunas dificultades y lograr un importante grado de eficacia y legitimidad, gracias a su carácter abierto y flexible, lo que de mantenerse en el tiempo puede posibilitar que por primera vez en la región, un proceso de integración funcione. Lo anterior motivó al Instituto de Estudios Internacionales (IDEI) de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, a llevar a cabo un estudio de este proceso, el cual se divide en cinco grandes capítulos. El primero de ellos está destinado a analizar el escenario integracionista latinoamericano previo a la Alianza así como el surgimiento del denominado Foro del Arco del Pacífico Latinoamericano, que fue su antecedente inmediato. El segundo capítulo aborda la creación de la Alianza, su naturaleza jurídica, su estructura e importancia, los Estados participantes, las reuniones y acuerdos para la consolidación del bloque y la incorporación del sector empresarial. El siguiente capítulo, que es el más extenso, se encarga de analizar los avances en los cinco pilares de la Alianza que son la libre circulación de bienes, servicios e inversión, capitales, personas y cooperación. El cuarto capítulo se enfoca en el relacionamiento externo de este bloque con el Asia-Pacífico, la Unión Europea y EE.UU. así como con otros bloques de América Latina; mientras que el quinto y último se concentra en plantear un conjunto de recomendaciones para el fortalecimiento de este proceso.
Análisis de los aportes del Gobierno peruano a la lucha contra las drogas 2000-2015
Authors: García Díaz Jaime A.
Published: September 2024

Una efectiva política de lucha contra las drogas (LCD) requiere que un país no solo brinde un respaldo político al más alto nivel —lo que se traduce tanto en un discurso claro y contundente frente a la amenaza de la presencia del narcotráfico, como en el diseño de una estrategia nacional y su adecuada implementación— sino que también depende de una adecuada asignación y ejecución de recursos económicos dentro del Presupuesto Nacional a través de las distintas instancias y entidades públicas que están involucradas en esta tarea. Como se detallará más adelante, en los últimos años, el gobierno del Perú (GdP) ha mostrado un mayor compromiso por la LCD, el cual se ve reflejado, por ejemplo, en el incremento de recursos presupuestales a diversas instituciones públicas vinculadas a la LCD y por el diseño y ejecución de sus respectivos Programas Presupuestales con Enfoque de Resultados (PPER). Definitivamente, la asignación de mayores recursos ha sido un paso muy importante que ha dado el Estado peruano, sin embargo es necesario evaluar si estos han sido ejecutados en forma adecuada y oportuna, y si el uso de los mismos ha obtenido los mejores resultados esperados. Debe recordarse que la coordinación y complementación de la ejecución de acciones de las diversas entidades involucradas en la lucha contra las drogas genera sinergias y mejores resultados como se explicará en este estudio. Así, el presente análisis se centra en la disposición presupuestal respecto al problema de la producción de drogas en el Perú, basándose en la información del Sistema Integrado de Administración Financiera1 (SIAF) del Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas (MEF) y en la información de las fuentes de cooperación internacional.

La inserción de China en ALC y su impacto en las relaciones con Europa
Authors: Novak Fabián , Namihas Sandra
Published: September 2024

La inserción de China en ALC no ha sido fruto del azar sino que se apoya en una estrategia especialmente diseñada que ha tenido en cuenta las particularidades de la región latinoamericana y caribeña, en base a obje-tivos geopolíticos y con el propósito fundamental de construir una aso-ciación estratégica. Dicha estrategia ha sido luego plasmada en sucesivos documentos del Gobierno chino en 2008 y 2016, en los que se aprecia es-ta firme voluntad. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha, ALC no cuenta con una es-trategia de respuesta hacia China; no obstante lo cual el relacionamiento entre estos actores ha tenido un rápido y considerable éxito desde 2001, lo que ha generado que China se convierta en un actor cada vez más re-levante en la región, disputando espacios que tradicionalmente han sido ocupados por Europa y EE.UU.

Authors: Masyhuri Mochammad Malikul , Sutiah Sutiah
Published: September 2024

This article discusses the role of a learning process in order to achieve the goals of a learning program, so it can be said that quality education is determined by several related components, starting from input, process, and output, as well as good management. The learning process today is developing very rapidly due to demands and pressures to improve the quality of education.The research method used in this article is qualitative with a library research approach, because the authors here explore and search for data through research and reading of scientific works that are appropriate to the topic of discussion.The government expects standards in the learning process, namely planning, implementation and assessment. In a quality learning process, various learning inputs are involved, such as: students (cognitive, affective, or psychomotor), learning materials, methodology (varies according to the ability of the teacher), school facilities, administrative support and infrastructure and other resources and the creation of a conducive atmosphere. The results of this research show that managing the quality of Islamic education is not only about meeting formal standards set by the government, but also about creating a learning environment that is conducive, innovative and responsive to students' needs and the demands.

Published: September 2024

Objective: To describe the effect of the perception of risk and religiosity on the consumption of marijuana in adolescents from marginal areas of the State of Chihuahua, Chihuahua.
Materials and methods: Study descriptive correlational design. The sampling was simple random probabilistic. The final sample consisted of 248 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 from marginal areas of Chihuahua. A personal data card, religiosity inventory and the risk perception scale were used.
Results: 59.3% of the adolescents interviewed were men, of whom 59.7% said they were Catholic and 23% Christian. 16.1% indicated marijuana use at some time in their life, and 6.5% in the last year. The logistic regression model of the religiosity and risk perception variables showed an explained variance of 19% for marijuana use at some time in life, highlighting that the higher the risk perception (β=-0.032, p<.001) and a higher religiosity index (β=-0.023, p<0.001), the lower the probability of marijuana use.
Conclusions: Risk perception and religiosity in adolescents from marginal areas show to be protective factors for marijuana use. These results should be analyzed in greater depth to be considered in prevention programs for drug use in marginal populations.

Percepción de Educación Sexual en Adolescentes Institucionalizados con Carencia de Cuidado Parental
Authors: Rivera Baylón Italia , Márquez Vega María Aracely
Published: September 2024

Objective: To identify the perceptions of sexual education in institutionalized adolescents with lack of parental care.
Materials and methods: Study with exploratory qualitative approach. Seven interviews were analyzed, three addressed to adolescents with lack of parental care and four to their main caregivers. The MAXQDA Analytics Pro 2020 software was used to interpret the data through content analysis method.
Results: The analysis resulted in eight subcategories that were grouped into three large categories: the institutionalized adolescent, perception from the main caregiver and perception of available resources. The results show two possible characteristics of adolescents in this condition, such as the need to be institutionalized due to lack of parental care, as well as the possibility of experiencing traumatic events that have repercussions on adolescent´ health. On the other hand, from the perception of the caregiver, it is observed how the concept of sexuality is constructed, which generally occurs in the school environment or through the exposure of audiovisual elements. On the other hand, there is a lack of recognition of the sexual and reproductive rights of adolescents, as well as the processes of sexual education by main caregivers. Finally, some available resources are identified that can be the basis for strategies development that promote comprehensive sexual education.
Conclusion: The analysis of the interviews allow to identify that adolescents in this condition lack an adequate system that will allow them to build a more comprehensive concept of sexuality, remembering that it is not limited to its expression through genitality. Institutions pay special attention to aspects related to social protection such as food, clothing, education, and medical care, however, there are no specific strategies or actions that promote sex education, either due to taboos, fear, or inability to provide it.

Published: September 2024

La charpente de la cathédrale de Fort-Lamy est maintenant achevée malgré le climat rude de cette région où la saison sèche (octobre à mai) est très rude et chaude et où la saison des pluies est très violente. Malgré la lenteur des travaux qui ont duré deux ans, la charpente en construction est ouverte aux aléas climatiques. Les bois utilisés ont parfaitement résisté et n'ont présenté ni déformation, ni fente, ni même une fissure.Ce résultat remarquable a été obtenu grâce à un choix minutieux des bois : Le Lingué ou Doussié (Afzelia africana) de la République Centrafricaine a été retenu malgré de sérieuses difficultés d'approvisionnement.Ce bois a parfaitement séché dans la ville même de Fort-Lamy mais sous abri avant d'être usiné et façonné.Cette belle réalisation montre que même dans des conditions climatiques difficiles, le bois peut être utilisé économiquement (la charpente en bois de cette cathédrale est moins chère que la charpente équivalente en béton) à condition de bien choisir l'essence de bois et de bien suivre les instructions de montage.

Published: September 2024

Intestinal homeostasis is essential for maintaining human health, and its dysfunction is related to the onset and progression of various diseases, including immune and metabolic disorders, and even tumorigenesis. Intestinal microbiota plays a critical role in intestinal homeostasis, with Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila ) emerging as a key commensal bacterium utilizing mucin as its sole carbon and nitrogen source. A. muciniphila has been recognized in both experimental and clinical studies for its beneficial role in managing intestinal inflammation, tumors, functional gastrointestinal disorders, and secondary conditions such as liver and metabolic diseases. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the research history and current understanding of A. muciniphila , its association with various intestinal-related diseases, and the potential mechanisms behind its effects. This paper also explores the possibilities of leveraging the probiotic enzyme such as the active ingredients of A. muciniphila for the innovative clinical treatment of intestinal-related diseases.

Authors: Constante Andreia Duarte , Suarez Joana , Lourenço Guilherme , Portugal Guilherme , Cunha Pedro Silva , Oliveira Mário Martins , Trigo Conceição , Pinto Fátima F. , Laranjo Sérgio
Published: September 2024

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasingly recognized in pediatric patients, presenting unique challenges in management due to its association with various underlying heart conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, management strategies, and outcomes of AF in this population. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted at a tertiary pediatric cardiology center, including patients aged ≤18 years diagnosed with AF between January 2015 and December 2023. The study focused on demographic details, clinical presentations, treatments, and outcomes. Descriptive statistics were employed to assess treatment efficacy, recurrence rates, and complications. Results: The study included 36 pediatric patients (median age: 15 years, IQR: 13-17; 58% male). Of these, 52.8% had acquired heart disease, 16.7% had congenital heart anomalies, and 16.7% presented with lone AF. The initial management strategies involved electrical cardioversion in 53.3% of patients and pharmacological conversion with amiodarone in 46.7%. Rhythm control therapy was administered to over 80% of the cohort, and 63.9% were placed on oral anticoagulation, predominantly for rheumatic and congenital heart diseases. The overall success rate of rhythm control was 96.2%, with an AF recurrence rate of 3.8%. Ischemic stroke was the most common complication, occurring in three patients, all with underlying rheumatic heart disease. Conclusion: AF in pediatric patients is predominantly associated with rheumatic and congenital heart diseases, though a significant proportion of patients present with lone AF. Despite effective rhythm control in most cases, neurological complications, particularly ischemic strokes in patients with underlying heart disease, remain a critical concern. These findings underscore the need for more comprehensive studies to better understand the etiology, risk factors, and optimal management strategies for pediatric AF.
Carnivore Diet as Regenerative Immunotherapy for Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Literature Review, A Novel Hypothesis and Experimental Design
Authors: Keferstein Leif Gerrit
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the possible application of a therapeutic carnivore diet regimen in the treatment of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Based on current research and anecdotal reports, we hypothesized that the diet might potentially exhibit both anti-inflammatory and microbiome-modulating properties salutary to the IBD patient population. Our hypothesis demands comprehensive clinical validation. Therefore, in this paper, we review theories on ketogenic and carnivore diets, discussing their immunomodulatory effects and propose an experimental study to test the feasibility, safety, and clinical efficacy of the carnivore diet for IBD treatment.
Work Disparities and the Health of Nurses in Long-Term Care: A Scoping Review
Authors: Shaw Lynn , Masood Mehvish , Neufeld Kimberly , Connelly Denise , Stanley Meagan , Guitar Nicole A. , Garnett Anna , Nikkhou Anahita
Published: September 2024

Work disparities experienced by nurses in long-term care (LTC) can impact the retention, well-being, and health of this workforce. Despite the significant impact disparities experienced by nurses have on the workforce and LTC sector, a review of the available literature on work disparities has not been conducted on work disparities experienced by nurses in LTC. Consequently, this scoping review aimed to explore the nature and extent of research on meso-level work disparities experienced by nurses in LTC and how such disparities are linked with nurse health and well-being. Five databases were searched: MEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE (Ovid), PsycINFO (Ovid), and CINAHL (EBSCO host). Of the 5,652 articles retrieved, 16 studies published between 1997 and 2024 met the inclusion criteria. The average number of work disparities within each study was 3.06 (minimum = 1, maximum = 6, SD = 1.62). Types of work disparities across the 16 studies were work opportunities (n = 19), work treatment (n = 18), job security (n = 8), and work compensation (n = 8). Only four articles investigated the association of a work disparity with a variable of health and well-being. Future research on how macro-level disparities intersect with meso-level work disparities may inform a contextual understanding of how disparities transpire in the work of nurses in LTC. Studies are required to address the gaps in knowledge regarding how work disparities negatively influence the health of nurses to inform better retention, well-being, and health of nurses in LTC.
Importance of a solid, neutral object as a measuring device for the unification of quantum theory and general relativity via polynomials P(2π)
Authors: Schmidt Helmut C.
Published: September 2024

For each measurement, at least three objects are needed: a solid, neutral object as a measuring instrument and two objects for comparison. This system of three spatial dimensions per object has a common time. All measurements are based on orbits relative to the firmament and coincidences of the spatial coordinates of the objects after rotations with π and provide the energy of the system. These results in the most suitable coordinate system with dimensions of powers of π in which the radius is curved, as are the longitude and latitude. Polynomials P(2π) correspond to neutral objects, in addition to P(π) for charge, spin, isospin. In addition, it is assumed that the cosmos consists of a single type of particle with a speed of light c. Normalizing to the rest mass of the electron, the neutrinos are ντ=π, νμ=1, and νe=1/π. The energy of an electron is: Ee=gfreq(π)+1−1/π. An algorithm is derived from a Christoffel symbol and similar to a lattice gauge calculation. It provides exact residual masses for neutrons, protons, muons, tauons, quarks u, d, and pions. The theory can be applied to the inner planetary system and the cosmos and explains the hierarchy problem.

Monitoring seaweed growth rates and biomass is crucial for optimizing harvest strategies in aquaculture systems. While such a task can be performed manually on a small farm, such as the Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) system at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University (HBOI), a commercial farm will have to rely on the automated sensor to perform such a task. This study introduces an advanced LSTM-based approach for forecasting seaweed growth and biomass. Utilizing a combination of real and synthetic data, LSTM models are trained and evaluated for their predictive performance. Synthetic sensor data was generated using mathematical equations that simulate realistic aquaculture conditions, with added noise to reflect sensor variability. Building on the foundation of the Pseudorandom Encoded Light for Evaluating Biomass (PEEB) sensor deployed at the seaweed tank in the HBOI IMTA system, we refine the process of biomass estimation by introducing non-linear regression models for predicting seaweed growth and biomass. The results showed that the LSTM model trained with a loss function under physics constraint, combining MSE and physical laws, outperformed models trained with MSE alone, achieving a significantly lower error in predicting seaweed growth. The variation trend of the predicted biomass from the network matched well with the sensor measurement after moving average preprocessing, demonstrating the robustness of the proposed technique in handling noisy sensor data. This study highlights the potential of integrating machine learning with physical models to optimize seaweed cultivation and support sustainable aquaculture practices.

From the evening of 1st May 2023 to 3rd May 2023, severe hydro-meteorological events occurred in the Italian Emilia-Romagna region, particularly in the provinces of Forlì-Cesena, Ravenna, Bologna, Modena, and Reggio Emilia. Additionally, on 16th-17th May, another intense meteorological event occurred, impacting the Romagna provinces. Such events caused extensive flooding, landslides, isolation of many areas, evacuation of numerous families, and significant damages to infrastructure, agriculture, buildings, and essential services. Many hilly municipalities were cut off, and thousands of civilians had to be evacuated, losses of life occurred. The consequences beyond the recorded immediate impacts on infrastructure and life were impressive, and extended to the regional economy, specifically in the Fruit Valley, where, in addition to immediate yield losses, long-term damage to orchard production is expected due to persistent flooding. The civil and cultural building heritage has also been heavily affected, both in the countryside and in inhabited centers. Some of the damage, direct and indirect, caused by flooding on buildings will also see an evolution in the medium to long term that will have to be addressed. This paper analyzes the reasons that led to the atmospheric phenomenon to understand the increasing potential occurrence of similar events from the perspective of climate change. This paper document analyzes the causes and effects of these events, additionally considering the future impacts of similar hazards potentially occurring in the context of climate change. It is crucial indeed to remark how such events, when occurring in high density agricultural areas, have the potential to threat the entire regional production system for extended periods. For example, the alteration of direct physiological processes due to root drowning may compromise production of entire productive agricultural extensions and many years will be required to their replacement..

Published: September 2024

Chemical plants are characterized by the management and operation of various hazardous materials; thus, accident risk is inherently high. Nevertheless, the incidence of chemical accidents in Korea has effectively stabilized, with no marked increase attributable to the implementation of systematic safety management procedures based on process safety management system principles. In June 2023, the Ministry of Employment and Labor in Korea unveiled the Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) report, meticulously cataloging 4,432 instances of grave accidents spanning six years (2016–2021). The compilation comprises 1,834 and 2,574 cases within the manufacturing and affiliated sectors and the construction sector, respectively. This study provides an overview of each accident, and elucidates the causes, and recommends preventative strategies. The objective was to galvanize companies across various industrial landscapes and fortify their intrinsic safety management protocols by using accident data delineated per sector. Sixteen specific accident cases from the SIF report, all of which occurred in facilities regulated by process safety management (PSM), were investigated. Technical analysis was conducted, focusing on explosion accidents within the organic catalyst packaging process, notable for their unique patterns of occurrence. This analysis extended to an examination of the reproducibility of such accidents. Employing two system analysis methodologies, system theoretic accident model and process and barrier-based systemic cause analysis technique, this study provides insights into the causative factors of the accidents and formulates comprehensive strategies for the prevention of future accidents. The findings will contribute significantly to reducing the risk of accidents within the catalyst packaging domain and assist in the development of robust recurrence prevention measures.

Multifunctional coatings based on Sn-Ni materials with and without titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) incorporation were prepared using the electrochemical deposition technique at 70°C. TiO2NPs were dispersed in the electrolyte bath, and their influence on both surface texture, crystalline phase, and properties was investigated. Various techniques such as X-ray phase analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX) were used to characterize the prepared coatings. The anti-corrosion effectiveness of the coatings was assessed using potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in an artificial sweat medium, while the bactericidal activity of the composite coatings (the ability to induce cell death) was evaluated in accordance with ISO 27447:2009 test. The influence of the TiO2NPs on the composition, structure and properties of the deposited coatings was established. Particular attention was paid to the relationship between the anticorrosive and bactericidal properties of the coatings and their structure and composition. The synergistic effect of the various properties was investigated and discussed.

Published: September 2024

In this work, we develop a detailed analysis of the current panorama for electric vehicle charging technology, focusing on the various levels and types of charging protocols and used connectors. We propose a charging station for electric cars powered by solar photovoltaic energy, performing the analysis of the solar resource in the selected location, sizing the photovoltaic power plant to cover the demand completely, and exploring different configurations such as grid connection or physical and virtual electric energy storage. Despite the current development applying for specific working conditions, operating voltage, charging rate, power demand, etc., the proposed configuration is modular, adaptable, and resilient. The simulated system operates within the 360 V to 800 V range of continuous current for charging the electric vehicles, with a selectable power range between 20 and 180 kW. The basic layout includes four charging poles, each servicing all working voltages. An oversized PV plant powers the charging station at any time of the year, saving money compared to the alternative of the electric storage unit. In addition, we build simulation tools and algorithms that optimize the design of future projects, providing a solid basis for sustainable energy infrastructure planning and design.

Neonatal rats that receive sucrose during a critical postnatal period (CP, days 12 to 28) develop hypertension by the time they reach adulthood. Changes during this period could contribute to inflammation and be associated with variations in the vascular smooth muscle (VSMC) phenotype. We studied changes in inflammatory pathways that could underlie the expressions of the secretory phenotype in the VSMC in the thoracic aorta of rats that received sucrose during CP. We analyzed histological changes in the aorta and expressions of the COX-2, TLR4, iNOS, eNOS, MMP-2, -9, β-, α-actin, and TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β expressions, and fatty acids by gas chromatography. The aortic wall presented disorganization, decellularization, wavy elastic fibers and increase in the lumen area. The COX-2, TLR4 expressions, TNF-α and IL-6 were increased, but iNOS, MMP-2 and -9 tended to increase and eNOS and arachidonic acid tended to decrease, con increase in oleic acid in CP in comparison with control group. There is a transient hypertension at the end of the CP that is accompanied by an inflammation and a change in the phenotype of VSMC to the secretory phenotype. The inflammatory changes could act as epigenetic signals to determine the hypertension development during adulthood.
