O brincar da criança com autismo em ambientes educacionais de aprendizagem: prática educativa, formação e inclusão
Authors: Chicon José Francisco , Sá Maria das Graças Carvalho Silva de , Silva Suzana Azevedo Feltmann
Published: February 2025

“Vínculos afetivos baseados em uma relação de confiança com o outro concorreram para a ampliação das possibilidades de as crianças com autismo explorarem o ambiente e realizarem novas aprendizagens. Na brinquedoteca, na escola ou em casa, o estabelecimento de vínculos contribui para o desejo de interagir e brincar com o outro, circular por diferentes espaços e, nesse percurso, alargar funções psíquicas superiores, como a imaginação, atenção, memória, criação e linguagem.

Em sua tese principal, Vigotski (2011) defende a ideia de que a criança com deficiência/autismo não é menos desenvolvida que as demais, mas se desenvolve de maneira diferente. Postula que o desenvolvimento cultural é a principal esfera em que é possível compensar a deficiência. O autor chama de caminhos alternativos e recursos especiais toda adequação da prática pedagógica no sentido de atender às especificidades de aprendizagem de cada aluno. Sendo assim, a educação surge em auxílio, criando técnicas artificiais, culturais, um sistema especial de signos ou símbolos culturais adaptados às peculiaridades da organização psicofisiológica da criança com deficiência.”

The purpose of the research is to increase the productivity of winter wheat varieties with the combined use of mineral fertilizers and stimulant drugs in the forest-steppe of the Middle Volga region. The article presents studies carried out in 2021-2023 in order to improve the methods of cultivating winter wheat varieties when applying
fertilizers to the planned yield in the forest-steppe of the Middle Volga region. The work was carried out on the exper-imental field of the Department of Crop Production and Agriculture of Samara State Agrarian University. In the course of the experience, the analysis of the safety of crops and crop structure was given, the level of productivity of winter wheat varieties and the technological qualities of grain were determined. The scheme provided the study of the fol-lowing options: winter wheat varieties: Svetoch, Sceptre, Yuka, Thunder (factor A); influence of sheet feeding: control (without processing), MEGAMIX system, YaraVita system, Stoller system (factor B). It is noted that on average in grades the safety of plants was ranging from 65.4…71.7%. The treatment of crops with MEGAMIX, YaraVita and Stoller in the system provides an increase in productive ears. For three years, their number ranged from 486
to 576 pcs./m2. In options where vegetative plants have been treated, yields are substantially higher. The maximum yield is observed in the Yuka variety – 9.90 t/ha (in the version with treatment with the MEGAMIX drug system),
9.84 t/ha (Stoller drugs) and 9.61 t/ha (YaraVita drugs). Other varieties also received an increase in control:
Sceptre – 8.82 t/ha, grade Thunder – 8.45 t/ha, grade Svetoch – 7.62 t/ha. The protein content was ranging
from 13.75...16.60%, glutens – 21.94-26.76% (the indicator of its quality of gluten strain index varied from
66.30-68.35 units), glassy content from 36.17-43.58%.

Published: February 2025

O art. 1641, II, do Código Civil prevê que uma pessoa com mais de setenta anos de idade, ainda que seja civilmente capaz, deve obrigatoriamente casar sob o regime da separação de bens. No ano de 2024 o Supremo Tribunal Federal, em decisão plenária, entendeu pela inconstitucionalidade da proibição absoluta, permitindo, a partir da técnica da interpretação conforme, que o idoso (capaz) pudesse escolher outro regime por meio de escritura pública, como forma de manifestação da autonomia da sua vontade, uma das estruturas da dignidade da pessoa humana. Valendo-se do método teórico e da análise jurisprudencial, o presente texto minudenciou criticamente os fundamentos elencados em tal decisão, promovendo-se um diálogo sobre as mais atuais compreensões da proteção dos direitos da personalidade, abarcando a tutela do âmbito relacional humano como forma de proteção da própria personalidade, tornando tal decisão um marco importante para os horizontes da tutela da condição humana no sistema jurídico brasileiro.

A Siparuna guianensis, conhecida como negramina, é uma planta nativa da Amazônia com reconhecidas propriedades terapêuticas importantes, cujas qualidades medicinais estão associadas aos seus metabólitos secundários, como alcaloides, flavonoides e terpenos. Desta forma, a produção desses compostos bioativos é influenciada por diversos fatores ambientais, como radiação solar, temperatura, umidade, composição do solo e práticas agrícolas. A intensidade da luz e a temperatura, por exemplo, podem afetar a síntese de compostos protetores da planta, enquanto o estresse hídrico e a composição nutricional do solo alteram a produção de substâncias antioxidantes. Sendo assim, a manipulação desses fatores pode otimizar a produção de metabólitos bioativos melhorando sua captação para uso, melhorando as propriedades terapêuticas da planta e promovendo conhecimento sobre seu uso sustentável e comercial. Este resumo destaca a importância de entender a interação entre as condições ambientais e a produção de metabólitos na Siparuna guianensis, visando a valorização de seus benefícios para a saúde e para a indústria farmacêutica.

Published: February 2025

The objective of this study was to quantify growth efficiency parameters of genotypes of conilon coffee cultivated in intercropping with dwarf coconut, in order to verify the suitability of nutritional parameters to cluster genotypes and aid possible selections to improve efficiency traits. The experiment was developed in a consortium system, following a completely randomized design, testing eight genotypes of conilon coffee (Coffea canephora) randomly distributed along the lines of consortium with dwarf coconut trees (Cocos nucifera), using six replications. Nine parameters of growth efficiency were used, based on the conversion rate of nitrogen in leaves (main sources) to number, size and mass of other plant structures. The results showed that using growth efficiency parameters is adequate to study the variability and to cluster genotypes in groups of different levels of efficiencies. Some parameters seem to be more suitable to quantify the growth efficiency for nitrogen, such as dry matter, number and combined lengths of leaves, the chlorophyll content, and the number of fruits. The phenotypic and genetic variability expressed, even in a restricted group of eight improved coffee genotypes, seems to be enough to allow a selection of genotypes more suitable for intercropping. Considering the evaluated conditions, the genotypes 16, 100, 76 and 153 stand out for this intercropping, as they could be selected to promote gains in several of the growth efficiency parameters for nitrogen.
A HISTÓRICA DEPENDÊNCIA DE AÇÕES FEDERAIS NA SEGURANÇA PÚBLICA NO ESTADO DO RIO DE JANEIRO
Authors: Jardim Barbara de Figueiredo Lima
Published: February 2025

O Estado do Rio de Janeiro, historicamente, apresenta uma relação de dependência com ações federais para a gestão da segurança pública. Este artigo analisa os fatores que contribuíram para a fragilização estrutural das instituições de segurança estaduais, evidenciando como a falta de investimentos contínuos, a corrupção, a ausência de políticas públicas eficazes e a expansão de organizações criminosas resultaram em cenários de crise recorrentes. O estudo aborda, ainda, os principais episódios de intervenção federal e o impacto dessas medidas emergenciais na construção de políticas de longo prazo. Por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica e análise de dados históricos, o trabalho demonstra que, apesar de contribuir temporariamente para a contenção de crises, a constante intervenção federal reforça a fragilidade institucional local, ao invés de promover a autonomia e o fortalecimento das forças de segurança do estado.
OS DESAFIOS DA REGULARIZAÇÃO E GESTÃO DE TERRAS PÚBLICAS RURAIS
Authors: Mendonça Eduardo Rabelo Halfeld
Published: February 2025

O estudo aborda as diversas dificuldades da regularização fundiária de terras rurais públicas no Brasil. Inicia-se explicando o sistema jurídico brasileiro, o Civil Law. Este tem por característica a aplicação de leis codificadas e oferece segurança jurídica. O estudo faz uma breve comparação deste sistema com o do Common Law. Destacando as características de ambos e ressaltando que no caso do Civil Law, em que pese haver a desvantagem de ser menos ágil para responder a mudanças sociais, há maior segurança jurídica. Prossegue aprofundado no fato de que a propriedade rural deve cumprir uma função social conforme a Carta Magna Brasileira, sendo produtiva e atendendo a requisitos ambientais e fiscais. Explica como ocorre o processo de regularização de imóveis rurais e destaca que, envolve interações com vários órgãos, como o Incra e a Receita Federal, além do Cadastro Ambiental Rural (CAR) e do Sistema de Gestão Fundiária (SIGEF), que organizam dados de imóveis para monitoramento ambiental e arrecadação. O estudo também sugere que as terras públicas rurais podem gerar receita, por meio de arrendamentos ou atividades agrícolas, se respeitarem as exigências legais e a função pública.

O início das atividades profissionais, constituem em um dos marcadores na passagem da adolescência para a vida adulta. Sendo assim, diversos pensamentos e sentimentos podem estar atrelados a experiência de inserção no mercado de trabalho. Deste modo, o presente estudo consiste em um relato de experiência baseado em uma Roda de Conversa com 60 adolescentes com idades entre 16 e 22 anos, inscritos no programa Jovem Aprendiz Feevale/RS, no ano de 2023. Para a atividade, contou-se com a presença de participantes do ano anterior, com objetivo de compartilhar as vivências como aprendizes. Observou-se na maior parte dos relatos, pensamentos negativos acerca da entrada no trabalho, e parecem associadas a sentimentos de inadequação e incapacidade. Tais pensamentos implicaram em níveis de ansiedade maiores no primeiro dia de trabalho. Embora não tenha sido central no debate dos jovens, aspectos positivos também foram mencionados em relação a entrada no trabalho, concluíram que embora os primeiros pensamentos tivessem um viés negativista, as evidências não eram suficientes, uma vez que estavam conseguindo realizar as tarefas e lidar com as rotinas do trabalho. Assim, a experiência positiva como aprendiz pode propiciar a ressignificação do significado do trabalho, aproximando-os da atividade profissional, como possibilidade de expressão pessoal da identidade, de compartilhamento de experiências e de contato social positivo, contribuem inclusive na percepção de eficácia dos jovens.
Korean and Korean American Life Writing in Hawai'i
Authors: Park Heui-Yung
Published: February 2025

Korean and Korean American Life Writing in Hawai'i examines such self-representing genres as lyric poems, oral history, autobiography, and memoirs written by Korean and Korean Americans from the early twentieth century to the present, in order to explore how these people have shaped their individual or collective identities. Their representations, produced in different periods by successive generations, reveal how Koreans in their diaspora to Hawai‘i came to terms with their ethnic and local selves, and also how the sense of who and what they are changed over the years, both within and beyond the initial generation.

Looking into their individual and collective identities in lyric poems, oral history, autobiography, and memoirs reveals how the earliest arrivals, their children, and their grandchildren have come to terms with their national, ethnic, and local selves, and how their sense of identity changes over the course of time, both within and beyond the initial generation. In the lyric poems found in Korean-language periodicals of the native-born generation, we can trace the significance of the motherland and Hawai‘i for these writers’ sense of identity. The oral histories of first-generation women, most of whom arrived as picture brides, also represent another “us”: often vulnerable Koreans who define themselves in relation to both the present culture and to Korean men. The self developed by the second-, third-, and in-between-generation Koreans diversifies because their identity is not defined exclusively by their ancestral land, extending to Hawai‘i and to America.

This study focuses on three main areas of emphasis: Hawai‘i; Korean language and culture; and life writing. By tracing how identity changes with each generation, this study reveals how identity formation for Hawai‘i diasporic Koreans has evolved.
The Immigration Crisis in Europe and the U. S. -Mexico Border in the New Era of Heightened Nativism
Authors: Carty Victoria
Published: February 2025

In The Immigration Crisis in Europe and the U.S.-Mexico Border in the New Era of Heightened Nativism, Victoria Cartycompares the immigration crises in the European Union and the United States. Beginning in 2014, the Arab Spring upheavals and failed states in Northern Africa and the Middle East overwhelmed many European countries which the European Union system was not prepared for. In the Americas, failed states in Central America such as Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador also led to an unexpected influx of immigrants to the United States, many of them unaccompanied minors, fleeing gangs, violence and poverty. In The Immigration Crisis in Europe and the U.S.-Mexico Border, Carty studies theories of immigration, social movements, and critical race theory to provide a better understanding of the current immigration crises in Europe and the United States. Carty shows that the high volume of immigration in both the EU and the United States has led to a resurgence of nativist sentiments and white supremacy groups.
“Oh, Another Overdose, for the Love of Pete”: First Responder Perspectives on Overdose Response Technology
Authors: Rioux William , Jones Stephanie , Ghosh S. Monty
Published: February 2025

Background: Overdose response applications and hotlines are novel overdose response technologies (ORT)/virtual harm reduction strategies that have recently emerged as a strategy to reduce the harms associated with the ongoing opioid epidemic. First responders are often the first point of contact for people who have overdosed and play a significant role in responses enacted by these services. In this study our aim was to explore the attitudes and perceptions of first responders on these novel technologies. Methods: We recruited 17 participants using purposive sampling through the province of Alberta between February–April 2023 including 11 paramedics, two firefighters, and five emergency communications operators. To be included in the study, participants were required to be older than 18 years of age, have the ability to communicate effectively in English, provide verbal informed consent, and work in an emergency responder role. Semi-structured interviews were conducted by two evaluators. When reviewing interview transcripts we used thematic analysis to identify key themes and subthemes. Results: Participants discussed their current operating procedures, their current perspectives on overdose response hotlines and apps, how they would best integrate them into their current workloads, and how to raise awareness of these services within first-responder communities. Participants were apprehensive about the integration of these services into their current workloads, including their potential benefits, and raised concerns about their efficacy within communities of people who use drugs. Key strategies were raised for the successful integration of these services into emergency responses including providing information to clients and the feasibility of overdose responses by the general public. Conclusion: This study’s results add to the existing literature on the toll of the overdose epidemic seen within first-response communities. Furthermore, we explored the communities’ diverse perspectives on these novel technologies, including support and concerns, and propose additional strategies for their integration into emergency responses.

Published: February 2025

This study analyses the movement patterns between clean energy indices and oil benchmarks such as Brent and WTI from 7 January 2022 to 8 November 2024, intending to verify whether clean energy indices can serve as effective risk diversification instruments. The research focuses on the Nasdaq Clean Edge Green Energy (CELS), S&P Global Clean Energy (SPGTCLEN), Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE) indices and the Invesco Wilderhill Clean Energy (PBW) ETF. The results show that Brent influences the prices of the CELS, CLNE and PBW indices but is unaffected by SPGTCLEN or WTI. WTI has a broad influence, influencing all the other indices. CELS only affects WTI and CLNE, while SPGTCLEN influences CELS and CLNE without influencing the oil markets. CLNE affects CELS, SPGTCLEN and PBW but not Brent or WTI. PBW influences WTI and CLNE but does not affect the other markets. WTI is a key indicator that affects all the other indices, while Brent is the most independent. This indicates that investors can reduce their exposure to oil risk by investing in clean energy indices such as CELS and CLNE, which have limited influences on each other. In conclusion, this study has contributed to understanding the dynamics of movement between clean energy indices and oil benchmarks over the period analysed, offering relevant implications for risk management and portfolio diversification.

Regardless of the modern techniques, identification of plant drug by the pharmacognostic study is more reliable. Plantago is one of the important genera of medicinal plants having many traditional uses. The present study was aimed to establish the pharmacognosy and phytochemical studies of P. major and P. lanceolata. Pharmacognosy includes the macroscopic, microscopic and physiochemical analysis. Both the plants were herbs with an average height of 34.00±7.30 and 44.80±1.56 cm respectively. Leaves were amphistomatic and stomata were anisocytic and diacytic type. Moisture content was 78.43±0.06 and 47.00±0.06 % in P. major and P. lanceolate respectively. Total ash was 0.38±0.01 and 0.33±0.03 mg/g respectively. Water-soluble ash, acid insoluble ash, water-soluble extractives, chloroform-soluble extractives, ethanol soluble extractives, and petroleum soluble extractives were also determined. Higher water-soluble extractives were observed in P. major (42.00±0.03 %) followed by P. lanceolata (37.00±0.02 %). Other extractives were less in amount. Phytochemical analysis showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, saponins, and carbohydrates. Total phenolic contents were 0.95±0.20 and 0.44±0.12 mg/g in P. major and P. lanceolata respectively. Total flavonoid contents in P. major and P. laneolata were 0.69±0.05 and 0.80±0.15 mg/g respectively. This study can serve as an appreciated source of information and provide proper standards for the identification of P. major and P. lanceolata in future surveys and submissions.

Unearthing of the Time of Emplacement of the Sillai Patti Carbonatite, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan: Constraints from 206Pb/238U Zircon Dating
Authors: Nimat Ullah Khattak  , Y.X. Zhu  , C.Q. Ma  , L.X. Wang  , W. Wang
Published: February 2025

The Sillai Patti carbonatite complex constitutes the second largest carbonatite complex of the Peshawar Plain Alkaline Igneous Province of northern Pakistan. It is located about 20 km west of Malakand, near Sillai Patti village. Here, the carbonatite occurs as intrusion along a fault in the form of a sheet striking in the NNE-SSW direction and dipping towards south. The carbonatite body is about 12 km in length and 2-20 m in thickness. The carbonatite sheet is emplaced either within the metasediments or along the faulted contact of metasediments and granite gneiss. Petrogenic, geochronological and tectonic history of this complex has been poorly understood so far. Therefore, 206Pb-238U dating study on zircon samples was conducted on the complex for the first time for resolving these critical issues.
 
A 206Pb - 238U age of 85.7 ± 0.9 Ma was obtained on zircon crystals from the carbonatite samples of the complex by using Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). This newly determined high temperature age of 85.7 ± 0.9 Ma is substantially higher than the low temperature K-Ar Biotite age of 31 ± 2 Ma of Le Bas et al. (1987), Fission Track Zircon age of 32.1 ± 1.9 Ma of Qureshi et.al. (1991) and Fission Track Apatite age of 29.40 ± 1.49 Ma of Khattak et al. (2012). This age of 85.7 ± 0.9 Ma is similar with the Ar-Ar age of 80 Ma on Phlogopite from a group 1 carbonatite of the Waziristan Ophiolite Complex (WOC) of Badshah et al. (2003), found at the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, about 244 Km SW of Peshawar in Waziristan Agency. Close resemblance of the 206Pb-238U age of zircon from the Sillai Patti carbonatite with the Ar-Ar age on phlogopite from the carbonatites intruding the WOC clearly indicates that carbonatite and alkaline magmatism may have taken place on a much wider range extending from the Silla Patti area in the north up to Waziristan Agency near Pakistan Afghanistan border in the west of Bannu District during the Late Cretaceous, when the leading northern and western margins of the Indian plate were obducted by the ophiolite complexes.
 
Close resemblance of the fission-track and K-Ar ages of the Sillai Patti carbonatite with the fission-track and K-Ar ages from the neighboring carbonatite complexes of the alkaline belt of northern Pakistan suggests rapid uplift of the Sillai Patti carbonatite complex to higher crustal level during Oligocene time and subsequent extremely fast cooling to near ambient temperatures (< 60°C) required for the complete retention of fission tracks in apatite.

Introdução: A doença cardiovascular permanece como principal causa de mortalidade em pacientes com diabetes, que apresentam pior prognóstico após o infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM) em comparação com indivíduos com metabolismo normal da glicose. Esses pacientes demandam terapias que reduzam de forma mais efetiva os riscos de desfechos cardiovasculares e metabólicos adversos. Objetivos: O objetivo foi realizar a avaliação da taxa de prevalência de IAM associados ou não à DM, no Brasil, entre os anos de 2002 a 2012. Metodologia: O estudo em questão é um levantamento epidemiológico de natureza ecológica, descritiva, transversal e retrospectiva. Os dados analisados foram obtidos a partir de casos novos registrados no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). A pesquisa abrangeu óbitos por infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM) ocorridos entre 2002 e 2012, no Brasil, sendo as variáveis analisadas: o ano de ocorrência do IAM, faixa etária, sexo e a presença de diabetes mellitus (DM). Resultados: Entre os anos de 2002 e 2012, foram registrados 498.452 casos de infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM). Desses, 42.585 ocorreram em indivíduos com diabetes mellitus (DM), sendo 25.507 (59,89%) em mulheres e 17.081 (40,10%) em homens. Nos indivíduos sem DM, foram contabilizados 455.864 casos de IAM, dos quais 297.970 (65,36%) ocorreram em mulheres e 157.894 (34,63%) em homens. Em relação à distribuição por faixa etária, os pacientes com DM apresentaram maior prevalência de IAM na faixa de 60 a 69 anos, com 13.146 casos (30%), seguidos pela faixa de 50 a 59 anos, com 12.294 casos (28,86%). Conclusão: A análise evidenciou que o infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM) permanece sendo uma condição de alta prevalência na população, sendo significativamente impactado pela presença de diabetes mellitus (DM). Pacientes com DM apresentaram maior prevalência de IAM em mulheres e em faixas etárias mais avançadas, especialmente entre 60 a 69 anos. Esses achados reforçam a necessidade de estratégias terapêuticas mais eficazes e direcionadas para mitigar os riscos cardiovasculares e metabólicos em populações vulneráveis, particularmente em indivíduos com DM.

Published: February 2025

Despite the growing importance of the relationship between pension fund investment and market liquidity in the Nigerian capital market, it still remains under-researched in the academic literature. As a result, this study examines the impact of pension funds (PFIs) on market liquidity in the Nigerian capital market from 2004 to 2023, using an ex-post facto research design. The analysis uses an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model and multiple regression with an error correction mechanism (ECM) to examine the effects of different PFIs, including pension fund assets (PFAs), pension fund investments in shares (PFIEs) and pension fund investments. in government securities (PFIGS), on key liquidity indicators such as turnover indicators and gross domestic product growth rate (GDPGR). The findings reveal that both PFA and PFIE significantly increase market liquidity, supporting liquidity preference and portfolio theory. Conversely, PFIGS shows no significant impact on market liquidity, suggesting that government securities may not be as effective in stimulating market activity. Based on these results, the study recommends that policymakers encourage pension fund managers to diversify their portfolios by including a wider range of asset classes, especially equities, while reconsidering the heavy reliance on government securities. The aim of these recommendations is to optimize the role of pension funds in managing economic development and market stability. The study contributes valuable insights to the theoretical discourse on liquidity and portfolio management and provides practical guidance for enhancing the efficiency and resilience of the Nigerian capital market

22 rice genotypes were evaluated for gall midge resistance and genetic analysis of yield traits during kharif, 2022 at Regional Agricultural Research Station, PJTAU, Polasa, Jagtial, Telangana. Field screening for gall midge resistance revealed highly susceptible (1 entry), susceptible (11entries), moderate susceptible (6 entries) and moderate resistance (4 entries) reaction among all tested entries.JGL 44143 (2%), JGL 44146 (4%), JGL 44147 (5%) and JGL 44088 (5%) recorded least percent of silver shoots and exhibited moderate resistance. Days to 50% flowering, plant height, effective bearing tillers/m2 and panicle length recorded low values of phenotypic coefficient of variation and genotypic coefficient of variation, whereas, 1000 grain weight recorded moderate values and percent of galls recorded high. Grain yield exhibited moderate values of PCV and high values for GCV. Grain yield, 1000 grain weight and percent galls exhibited high values of both heritability and genetic advance which can be improved with simple selection based on phenotypic performance in desirable direction. Higher inter cluster distance was noticed between clusters of III and IV (2094.45) followed by I and IV (927.52), II and IV (745.94) and II and III (525.61). Based on cluster mean values, genotypes of cluster I found to be promising for gall midge resistance and MTU 1001 (cluster II) for high yield. Crossing between genotypes of clusters I and IV could generate gall midge resistant segregants. The trait, days to 50% flowering (38.10%) contributed highest towards total divergence followed by 1000 grain weight (20.78%) and grain yield (19.91%).

Mitochondrial ribosome biogenesis and redox sensing
Authors: Brischigliaro Michele , Sierra‐Magro Ana , Ahn Ahram , Barrientos Antoni
Published: June 2024

Mitoribosome biogenesis is a complex process involving RNA elements encoded in the mitochondrial genome and mitoribosomal proteins typically encoded in the nuclear genome. This process is orchestrated by extra‐ribosomal proteins, nucleus‐encoded assembly factors, which play roles across all assembly stages to coordinate ribosomal RNA processing and maturation with the sequential association of ribosomal proteins. Both biochemical studies and recent cryo‐EM structures of mammalian mitoribosomes have provided insights into their assembly process. In this article, we will briefly outline the current understanding of mammalian mitoribosome biogenesis pathways and the factors involved. Special attention is devoted to the recent identification of iron–sulfur clusters as structural components of the mitoribosome and a small subunit assembly factor, the existence of redox‐sensitive cysteines in mitoribosome proteins and assembly factors, and the role they may play as redox sensor units to regulate mitochondrial translation under stress.
The Atomic Atmosphere at the Antiphase Domain Boundary in Ni3Al: A Phase‐Field Study
Authors: Wang Kun , Ma Wenlai , Xu Yong , Li Mingjuan
Published: June 2024

The atomic atmosphere and formation mechanism of the antiphase domain boundary (APB) may depend on the environmental variables of the phase transformation for the L12‐structural Ni3Al phase, which is the first important precipitate phase for Ni‐based superalloys. Herein, a discrete phase field method is used to reproduce the complete formation process of an APB without preset restrictions. Numerical calculations are performed to classify the atomic atmosphere, and its formation mechanism is revealed by calculating and analyzing the functional properties of the driving force. The formation process shows that four types of antiphase domains survive to form the APB. The numerical calculation results demonstrate that the atomic atmosphere has the same temperature dependence for hypostoichiometric, stoichiometric, and hyperstoichiometric systems. However, Al plays two opposite roles in influencing the atomic atmosphere according to the changes in the alloy system. The positive and negative values of the driving force determine whether the atomic atmosphere is segregated or depleted, and the magnitude of the absolute value determines the atomic atmosphere level. This atomic‐scale study of nanoscale ordered domain boundaries can provide theoretical information for further understanding of these and similar interfaces in ordered precipitation‐strengthened phases.
