Chemical upcycling of PET: A mini-review of converting PET into value-added molecules
Authors: Yang Weina
Published: July 2023

With the increasing consumption of single-use plastics, a large number of petrochemical resources are used as raw materials, and hundreds of thousands of tons of plastic waste are produced every year. Although there are lots of methods that have been developed to solve this issue by recycling plastic waste, none of them can recover the value of the waste in an efficient way that is less economical cost and less harmful to the environment. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most widely produced single-use polymers. It is challenging to recover the value through mechanical recycling due to the degrading of properties during reprocessing. Chemical upcycling/recycling is an alternative to convert the polymer back to the monomer with less environmental effect, which has lower energy demand. Hydrolysis is one of the common methods in chemical upcycling; it can convert PET waste into value-added materials such as H2 fuel. This paper mainly focuses on the method that converts PET to value-added chemicals through hydrolysis in recent years, so as to offer some references for future researches.

Application of remote sensing techniques in lithology identification in Almeria
Authors: Chen Hejun
Published: July 2023

Remote sensing is emerging as an important method of information extraction in the field of lithology identification as a technology that can provide a cost-effective way of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area. This paper uses remote sensing techniques for lithology identification in Almeria, discusses the flaws and applicability of remote sensing techniques, and proposes a combined remote sensing approach. The lithological results identified by remote sensing indicate that northern Almeria is dominated by metamorphic and carbonate rock and the southern part is predominantly mafic rocks and felsi rocks. The identification results in Almeria from remote sensing imagery synthesised using Landsat-8 multiple band sets differ from actual lithology distribution. It shows the limitations of remote sensing techniques for lithology identification. Based on the limitations of remote sensing techniques demonstrated in the case study, this paper discusses how remote sensing improves the identification and analysis of lithology in other research cases by means of technical improvements combined with other techniques.

Authors:   Laboratorio de Procesos Industriales. Facultad de Farmacia. Universidad Central de Venezuela, Díaz Barbosa Luna Y
Published: July 2023

Los comprimidos de desintegración oral (ODT), también conocidos como comprimidos bucodispersables, son formas de dosificación únicas formuladas para mejorar sus tasas de desintegración y disolución in vivo. Es un gran desafío para los productores de ODT lograr un tiempo de desintegración mínimo mientras mantienen una formulación simple y robusta. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar 3 lotes de comprimidos bucodispersables con dos diluyentes, lactosa monohidratada y Manitol, a concentración mínima, intermedia y máxima del diluente y de la croscarmelosa sódica. Los comprimidos se prepararon mediante el método de granulación húmeda y se evaluaron los parámetros de uniformidad de peso, dureza, espesor, tiempo de humectación y tiempo de desintegración. Los resultados indicaron que el lote 3 de manitol y el lote 3 de lactosa, elaborados con las concentraciones intermedias, fueron los lotes con mejor comportamiento al elaborar comprimidos bucodispersables, ya que se humectan en un tiempo inferior a 1 minuto y se desintegran en un tiempo menor a 3 minutos. Esto garantiza que el comprimido bucodispersable ejercerá una acción más rápida en los pacientes que requieren un alivio rápido de la sintomatología y que tienen problemas para deglutir cómo lo son la población geriátrica y pediátrica.
Et moderne perspektiv på ulykkesårsaker
Authors: Elvik Rune
Published: July 2023

Den viktigste grunn til å studere ulykkesårsaker er å finne tiltak for å forebygge ulykker. Tanken er at man løser et problem ved å fjerne eller kontrollere årsakene til problemet. Av dette følger at alle trafikk-sikkerhetstiltak som kan bidra til å redusere antall ulykker eller gjøre dem mindre alvorlige også må betraktes som ulykkesårsaker; det vil si at manglende iverksettelse av slike tiltak bidrar til at antall ulykker er høyere enn det ellers hadde vært. Tradisjonelt har imidlertid studiet av ulykkesårsaker fokusert på risikofaktorer som øker sannsynligheten for at ulykker skal inntreffe, og da spesielt risikofaktorer knyttet til trafikantene. Slike risikofaktorer kan kun betraktes som ulykkesårsaker dersom det er mulig å påvirke dem med ett eller flere trafikksikkerhetstiltak. Dette innebærer at en rekke kjennetegn ved mennesker som påvirker deres sannsynlighet for å bli innblandet i ulykker, som kjønn, alder, erfaring, forventninger, og så videre, ikke kan betraktes som ulykkesårsaker fordi disse egenskapene ikke kan endres eller påvirkes med trafikksikkerhetstiltak. En studie av ulykkesårsaker er ufullstendig så lenge den ikke inneholder en drøfting av mulige tiltak for å gjøre fremtidige ulykker mindre sannsynlige. Det kan defineres kriterier for å avgjøre når en liste over risikofaktorer som anses for å ha utløst en ulykke er fullstendig. En liste over mulige trafikksikkerhetstiltak begrenses kun av fantasien og kan dermed aldri betraktes som fullstendig.

Published: July 2023

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a blood cancer and a malignant disorder of the bone marrow in which hematopoietic precursors are ceased at an early stage of development, preventing them from differentiating. The NRAS gene plays a vital role in regulating cell division. The mutation in this gene leads to an increased activity of the RAS pathway, increased proliferation and decreased apoptosis rates which causes AML. Objective: To identify the deleterious SNPs involved in AML and to further analyze them using bioinformatics tools. Methods: The missense nsSNPs (Q61H, Q61L, G13V, G13R, and G12A) of NRAS were retrieved from NCBI databases. Results: Using in silico analysis, it was found that these pathogenic SNPs could disrupt the protein stability. These mutations were present in the conserved region and had the potential to significantly alter the protein's secondary structure and impair its functionality. The structural effect of mutations was observed by generating 3D models. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins refers to the chemical modifications that occur after a protein is formed to make it functionally capable. Analyzing PTMs via in silico analysis revealed that missense mutations affect protein functionality. The level of methylation was significantly high in AML patients. These SNPs might affect additional proteins which are functionally associated. Conclusions: The highlighted SNPs could be suitable targets for future research on proteins, biological markers, and medical diagnosis.

Published: July 2023

The rotor of a palm nut cracker must be designed in such a way as to overcome friction, wears, the collision of nuts, etc. during nut cracking. Thus, there is a need to find the efficiency (rotor operating factor) Kf of the rotor and then used it to obtain the actual operating rotor speed in revolution per minute (rpm) for effective operation. In this study, masses of palm nuts (ḿ), its exit velocity from the rotor disc (v), rotor radius (r), axial dimensions, and energy generated due to friction, sound, heat, etc. (Ef), palm nut translational kinetic the energy (KEtrans), energy released per unit nut (Q) and inverse of theoretical rotor speed (Nt-1) were used based on some existing models. Plots of r against Nt-1 to determine the slope and thereafter evaluate Kf were carried out. The effect of ḿ on Kf was assessed using Analysis of Variance at 5% level probability. The results showed that the mean Kf was 0.76 and was not affected by varying ḿ since the calculated probability was 0.002 and r-squared was 0.324. The actual rotor speed could be found as the product of Kf and Nt.

Authors: Leonardo Samuel , Okdinawati Liane
Published: July 2023

This paper proposes a comprehensive solution to enhance embankment stability assessment in mining company's tailings management operations through the implementation of Fiber Optic instrumentations. The current monitoring solutions lack real-time capabilities, hindering timely assessment and mitigation of embankment stability issues. Fiber Optic cables provide sensing capabilities to detect vibrations and measure temperature variations, enabling early detection of structural issues within embankments. Real-time monitoring allows continuous assessment and immediate identification of potential risks. Implementing fiber optic cable instrumentations enhances embankment stability assessment, ensuring safety and minimizing failures. Data-driven decision-making is empowered through accurate and real-time data, enabling efficient resource allocation. The implementation follows a DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) approach, ensuring a comprehensive analysis and step-by-step plan. In conclusion, fiber optic cable instrumentations offer valuable enhancement to embankment stability assessment in mining's tailings management operations. Real-time monitoring, accuracy, and precision contribute to proactive measures and improved decision-making. Implementing this solution strengthens embankment stability practices, safeguards surrounding areas, and maintains regulatory compliance, fostering resilience and sustainability in mining operations.

Direct Democracy Integrity in Modern Authoritarian Systems

Modern authoritarian regimes have implemented a relatively large number of referendums in recent decades. These have had important consequences for institutional change. Applying the new Direct Democracy Integrity Index to the Turkish constitutional referendum in 2017 and the Russian constitutional referendum in 2020, this analysis determines whether these plebiscites fulfil the standards of integrity and respect the rights of oppositional parties and minorities. We found that the level of integrity was lower during the pre-election period than during the election or the post-election period. We observe that modern authoritarian systems such as Russia (in 2020) use strategies of mobilisation, activism and even modern forms of deliberative democracy. However, their strategies are characterised by propaganda. In contrast, authoritarian regimes (such as Turkey) are still implementing strategies of repression which lead to passivity, disengagement and apathy. Both have strong implications for the integrity of referendums.

O ser humano costuma dedicar uma grande parte de sua vida ao trabalho.  Se é alto o investimento de tempo, energia e dedicação, naturalmente, e, talvez, cada vez mais, muito também se espera da vida profissional na sociedade contemporânea. Dada a relevância que o trabalho tem na vida das pessoas na contemporaneidade, buscou-se desenvolver uma pesquisa de revisão narrativa, seguindo uma abordagem qualitativa, de modo a alcançar o objetivo geral deste artigo que seria o de conhecer as possíveis contribuições da Logoterapia e Análise Existencial ao contexto do trabalho e das organizações. A centralidade do conceito relativo ao sentido de vida para a Logoterapia e Análise Existencial contribui e convoca a se pensar a experiência humana a partir de suas ações, relações e formas de organização. Faz-se, portanto, necessário estabelecer espaços de reflexão sobre a relação entre sentido e trabalho para o homem e a mulher na contemporaneidade. Ao final a pesquisa revela que entre as principais implicações do pensamento Analítico Existencial aplicado ao sentido do trabalho e organizações, estaria a proposta de se estabelecer empresas mais humanas, requisito necessário para a vivência e potencialização de sentido no trabalho e nas organizações.

Este trabalho traz resultados de uma pesquisa de mestrado que foi conduzida pelo eco da seguinte pergunta: o que pode a dança em um currículo que se abra para experimentações, de modo que corpo e pensamento se movimentem e provoquem o aprender com a diferença? A pesquisa foi feita em uma escola pública da região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte/MG e envolveu experimentações com diferentes possibilidades em dança contemporânea: Improvisação, Contato Improvisação, Videodança e Composição Coreográfica. As experimentações foram feitas com quatro turmas do 8º ano e seis turmas do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental. Seguiu-se os estudos curriculares pós-críticos, que veem o campo curricular como um lugar de invenção, em que diferentes currículos podem ser criados no cotidiano. A metodologia criada foi dançarilhar, uma composição entre esses estudos, a cartografia, inspirada nos estudos de Gilles Deleuze e Felix Guattari, e o personagem andarilho de Nietsche. Um dos resultados é que experimentações com dança em um currículo pode criar um currículo-dançante, uma composição entre currículo e dança. Esse currículo é construído no dia-a-dia e coloca corpo-pensamento para dançar. Argumenta que o movimentar de um currículo-dançante desencadeou um aprender com a diferença por meio de devires: devir-professora e devir-criança, que evidenciaram a importância de se conectar aos corpos dos/as estudantes para aprender com a diferença de cada um/a.

Descrever as características clínicas de pacientes internados para tratamento oncológico em um serviço de referência no município de Rio de Janeiro durante o primeiro ano da pandemia de COVID-19 e investigar os fatores associados ao óbito. Trata-se de uma coorte retrospectiva em que se analisou 347 prontuários de pacientes oncológicos atendidos em unidade de referência em oncologia. Os dados coletados retrospectivamente entre 2020 e 2021, por meio de formulário on-line estruturado, foram analisados por métodos estatístico-descritivos e, posteriormente, apresentados em tabelas. Houve predomínio do sexo feminino (63,7%) e idade média de 60 anos. O subgrupo de pacientes com COVID-19 representou 14,4% da amostra. Os fatores que estiveram fortemente relacionados à taxa de óbito global foram performance status maior que dois, presença de metástase de qualquer tipo e eventos tromboembólicos. O estudo revelou pacientes com diversos fatores de risco para complicação e uma taxa de infecção por COVID-19 maior que a da população geral. Metástase, performance status maior que dois e eventos tromboembólicos mostraram significância estatística para o óbito e não foi evidenciada relação com significância estatística entre óbito e COVID-19. Os achados podem nortear profissionais de saúde no planejamento do cuidado desta população.

As metodologias ativas de aprendizagem buscam engajar os estudantes no processo de construção de conhecimento, além de estimular sua autonomia. Durante o período pandêmico o uso de tais metodologias foi amplamente utilizado na busca de melhoria do processo ensino-aprendizagem. Este trabalho buscou avaliar se tais metodologias, possuíam aplicabilidade e eficácia como apoio pedagógico após o retorno às atividades presenciais. A metodologia utilizada neste relato foi a ‘Rotação por Estações’ e o desenvolvimento do trabalho ocorreu em um CIEP do município de Nova Iguaçu (RJ). De acordo com os resultados obtidos pode-se considerar que a utilização deste tipo de metodologia ativa auxiliou e facilitou a compreensão dos conteúdos abordados durante as aulas. Entretanto, deve-se ressaltar que para sua melhor aplicabilidade e eficiência das TICs, são necessárias condições básicas de infraestrutura, e a receptividade docente na aplicação de tais metodologias.
