Martini Coarse-Grained Nitrogen Gas Model for Lipid Nanobubble Simulations
Authors: Lin Xubo , Tian Fujia , Marrink Siewert-Jan
Published: March 2021

By integrating the advantages of lipids’ biocompatibility and nanobubbles’ potent physicochemical properties, lipid nanobubbles show a great potential in ultrasound molecular imaging and biocompatible drug/gene delivery. However, under the interactions of the ultrasound, lipid nanobubbles may fuse with the cell membrane, changing the local membrane component and re-distributing encapsulated gas molecules into the hydrophobic region of the cell membrane, which may greatly affect the dynamics of certain membrane proteins and thus functions of cells. Although molecular dynamics simulation provides a useful computational tool to reveal the related molecular mechanisms, the lack of coarse-grained gas model greatly restricts this purpose. In the current work, we developed a Martini-compatible coarse-grained gas model based on the results of previous experiments and atomistic simulations, which could be used for lipid nanobubble simulations with complicated lipid components. By comparing the results of well-designed lipid nanobubble, lipid bi-monolayer and lipid bilayer simulations, we further revealed the role of membrane curvature and interleaflet coupling in the liquid-liquid phase separation of lipid membranes. It is worth mention that our developed coarse-grained nitrogen gas model can also be used for other gas-water interface systems such as pulmonary surfactant, which may overcome the possible artefacts arising from the usage of vacuum for gas phase.

Published: March 2021

We report electrochromism of M-MOF-74 (M=Mg, Mn, Co or Zn), a honeycomb nano-framework in which hexagonally packed one-dimensional

arrays of metal cations are coordinated with 2,5-Dihydroxyterephthalic acid linker. Raman spectroscopy upon electrochemical doping combined with density functional theory calculations reveals redox reactions of the linker while the metal cations stay divalent as

probed by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. Excellent adhesion of the MOFs to glass allows synthesis of quality thin films to be implemented into electrochromic devices that exhibit promising colour contrast and durability.
Deaminative Chlorination of Aminoheterocycles
Authors: Ghiazza Clement , Faber Teresa , Gomez-Palomino Alejandro , Cornella Josep
Published: March 2021

Selective modification of heteroatom-containing aromatic structures is in high demand as it permits rapid evaluation of molecular complexity in advanced intermediates. Inspired by the remarkable selectivity of deaminases in Nature, herein we present a simple methodology that enables the NH2 groups in aminoheterocycles to be conceived as masked modification handles; with the aid of a simple pyrylium reagent and a cheap chloride source, C(sp2)‒NH2 can be converted into C(sp2)‒Cl bonds. The method is characterized by its remarkable substrate scope and wide functional group tolerance, allowing the modification of >20 different classes of heteroaromatic motifs (5- and 6-membered heterocycles), bearing numerous sensitive motifs. The facile conversion of NH2 into Cl in a late-stage fashion enables practitioners to apply Sandmeyer- and Vilsmeier-type transforms without the burden of explosive and unsafe diazonium salts, stoichiometric transition metals, or highly oxidizing and unselective chlorinating agents.

Published: March 2021

This is due in part to vitamin D deficiency (vitamin D is a primary modulator of intestinal calcium and phosphate absorption), which is caused by a lack of sunlight combined with low vitamin D dietary intake and cutaneous synthesis. Secondary hyperparathyroidism is caused by low calcium intake and vitamin D deficiency, which is characterised as a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) D concentration below 12 ng/ml and is related to increased bone turnover and, indirectly, an increased risk of fracture. Furthermore, recent findings indicate that vitamin D deficiency is more widespread than previously thought, owing to a revision of the traditional 25 (OH) D threshold level below which parathyroid hormone secretion (PTH) begins to increase. Pre-prepared application forms were distributed among the study population to fill the required details, encouraged to fill the form by own. Those who are uneducated or unable to fill the form are helped by project staff. The value of z is 2.44949, the value of p is 0.01428 and the result is significant at p < 0.05 are obtained for the calcium levels of pre and post-test results of all study groups when compared against BMI. The value of z is 1.36471, the value of p is 0.00321 and the result is significant at p < 0.05 are obtained for the T-values of pre and post-test results of all study groups when compared against BMI. After observing the findings, it is clear that after eating prescribed nutritional food for three months, the ionised Calcium levels, overall Calcium levels, and bone density have increased significantly as compared to before taking nutritional food. As a result, the nutrient food given is a good source of calcium and helps postmenopausal women strengthen their bones. Furthermore, it is recommended that all age groups consume the recommended food kit to minimise the risk of osteoporosis and bone fracture.

Published: March 2021

In this study, there are possible causes of two years from June 2015 to May of 2017. During study includes 130 cases of cholecystectomy specimens from January 2013 to June 2017. The objective/purpose of the study is to correlate histopathological findings with various biochemical parameters viz. fasting blood sugar level, lipid profile, etc. Amongst the four cases of adenocarcinoma, 3 (75 %) cases showed serosal infiltration and liver infiltration. Out of a total of 130 cases, 69 (53%) were female, and 61 (47%) were male. Out of 4 patients of adenocarcinoma 2 (50%) patients expired during the postoperative period, while 2 (50%) patients improved. Diabetic patients constitute 13.84% of total cholecystectomy patients, so diabetes proved to be a risk factor for the development of gallbladder diseases with statistically significant Odds Ratio (2.66). Results from this study show that a variety of gallbladder lesions are observed in cholecystectomy specimens. The most common lesion observed was chronic cholecystitis with cholelithiasis 99 cases (76.1%), followed by acute cholecystitis 12 cases (9.2%). The present study was undertaken to emphasize the role of histopathological examination in cholecystectomy specimens and its correlation with clinical presentation. Histopathological examination many time reveals an unusual diagnosis bearing significant implications on the treatment, prognosis and outcome of the patient. Hence, the study was undertaken to emphasize the role of histopathological examination in cholecystectomy specimens and its correlation with clinical presentation.
"Picture This": Advertising and Image in the New Zealand Architectural Journals in 1965
Authors: Wood Peter
Published: March 2021

Throughout the 1960s advertising content in New Zealand's two leading architectural journals increased dramatically. In the case of the NZIA Journal, what was a staid professional publication without advertising in the 1950s, by the end of the 1960s carried significant advertising material including advertorial covers and the first colour centre pages. While not changing so dramatically, Home and Building nonetheless significantly increased the visibility of its advertising content over the same period. This research presents the findings of a comparative analysis of commercial advertising imagery found in the pages of Home & Building and the NZIA Journal for 1965. Throughout the 1960s the dominant publications dedicated to the activities of architects and architecture in New Zealand were the periodicals Home & Building and the NZIA Journal. From the point of view of advertisers it is important to emphasise that these periodicals were not market competitors. While the NZIA Journal was a professional journal published by the New Zealand Institute of Architects, Home & Building was published under the auspices of the NZIA, and consequentially the content differences between the two reflects a conscious effort on the part of the NZIA to distinguish between two different readerships. To a large extent this is reflected in the advertisements contained in each. The NZIA Journal shows an appeal on the part of the advertisers to architects as building professionals with its bias towards products and systems of construction. By contrast Home & Building advertising content tends to be directed towards a client market with a marked appeal to spaces of occupancy. This is exactly what we might expect to find; the professional journal directed to the work of the architect, and the more populous one appealing to potential clients. Consequentially much of the advertising content reflects this distinction. However what is less clear is the degree to which the advertising content either followed or directed this ideological editorial difference.In making a comparative analysis of the advertising material found in the pages of these two dominant forums attention has been given to the manner in which advertisers may have actively contributed to redefining the roles and responsibilities of "architect" and "client" during this period of 1960-70. I suggest that the NZIA may have had less control than it might have imagin ed over the nature of influence its two premiere publications were having on New Zealand architects and architecture in the 1960s.
Influence of Canopy Cover on Surface Temperature
Authors: Vasconcelos Vitor Vieira , Sacht Helenice Maria
Published: March 2021

Trees affect the microclimate, which influences thermal comfort and ecosystem processes. This study investigated the influence of the canopy cover on daily maximum and minimum temperatures. The data are from a collaborative database, and each measurement consists of the minimum and maximum temperatures under the canopy and in an open adjacent area over a 24-hour period. Paired sample t-tests indicated that the canopy decreased the maximum and minimum daily temperatures and narrowed the daily temperature range. Multiple regression showed that the canopy cover percentage decreased the maximum daily temperatures, and this effect was greater in rural areas than in urbanized areas. Another multiple regression indicated that the canopy cover percentage and the distance to the edge of the canopy decreased the daily temperature range. An independent sample t-test also indicated that the effect of the canopy on the daily temperature range was higher in rural areas when analysed by parametric and non-parametric tests but not when measured by a robust test. Other independent sample t-tests indicated that the distance from a light source also decreased the canopy effect on the minimum daily temperature and the daily temperature range. The main plausible underlying processes include the canopy shade and wind insulation, litter insulation of the ground surface, heat pumps through evapotranspiration and lateral heat fluxes from light bulbs and other anthropogenic sources, especially in urbanized areas. These results provide a greater understanding of the effects of arborization in rural and urban ecosystems, as well as their respective benefits to human communities.

Published: March 2021

O objetivo principal neste trabalho consistiu em analisar e comparar índices de (des) conforto térmico humano em um município de clima semiárido. Para isso foram adquiridos e utilizados equipamentos termo-higrômetros automáticos datalogger Akso AK170, sendo esses distribuídos espacialmente em onze pontos (dez em áreas urbanizadas e um em área rural), durante um período de 32 dias, em Caicó-RN. De posse dos dados horários de temperatura e umidade relativa do ar (maio/junho), realizaram-se análises estatísticas descritivas e aplicaram-se três índices de conforto humano, a saber: Índice de Desconforto (ID), índice de Temperatura Efetiva (TE), e o Índice de Temperatura e Umidade (ITU). Os resultados indicaram que o município de Caicó está propenso aos efeitos do processo de urbanização, registrando-se frequências de temperaturas mais elevadas nas áreas urbanizadas, especialmente nas de menor arborização e maior concentração de pavimentos urbanos. Em termos médios a maior parte da população de Caicó sente desconforto devido ao calor (ID), as temperaturas ficaram sempre acima do considerado calor moderado (TE) e de acordo com o ITU a classificação foi de extremamente desconfortável. Portanto, é imprescindível minimizar o os efeitos da ilha de calor no município a fim de se obter melhores índices de conforto térmico humano. Human (dis) comfort indices in a semi-arid municipality in Brazil A B S T R A C TThe main aim of this study was to analyse and compare the human thermal (dis)comfort indices in a Brazilian municipality with a semi-arid climate: Caicó, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Akso AK170 thermo-hygrometer data loggers were acquired for this purpose, which were distributed at eleven points in the study area – ten in built-up areas and one in a rural area – over a 32-day period covering the months of May to June. Having collected the time- and date-stamped temperature and relative humidity data, descriptive statistical analyses were conducted using three human comfort indices: discomfort index (DI), effective temperature index (ETI), and temperature-humidity index (THI). The results indicate that the municipality under study is affected by urbanization processes that propitiate higher temperatures in the built-up areas, especially where there are fewer trees and more of the roads are paved. On average, most of the population of Caicó feels discomfort because of the heat (ID), and the temperature always remains above the range rated as moderately hot (ETI). The municipal climate was classified as “extremely uncomfortable” by the THI. It is therefore of the utmost importance to minimize the effects of the heat island in the municipality to improve the human thermal comfort indices.Keywords: Urban climate. Caicó-RN.

Sabe-se que a precipitação é uma variável de difícil estimativa em especial nas regiões semiáridas. Diversos estudos e avanços já foram obtidos na estimativa de precipitação, mas ainda se necessita desenvolver modelos que possam proporcionar estimativas mais reais. Com o intuito de contribuir nessa linha de pesquisa, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a relação existente entre a precipitação e o índice de área foliar no bioma caatinga. Utilizou-se o método de correlação linear simples entre a precipitação e o índice de área foliar. Os dados de precipitação utilizados neste estudo foram obtidos pelo modelo ETA e os do índice de área foliar foram obtidos pelo sensor MODIS. As relações estatísticas mostraram uma boa correlação entre o índice de área foliar e a precipitação.  Assim, conclui-se que o entendimento da dinâmica do índice de área foliar espacial e temporal pode ajudar no entendimento da dinâmica espacial e temporal da precipitação na caatinga. A estimativa da precipitação pelo modelo ETA pode ser melhorada com o uso do índice de área foliar.Palavras-chave: sensoriamento remoto, LAI, modelo ETA, precipitação, caatinga. Linear correlation between rainfall and Leaf Area Index of the Caatinga biome A B S T R A C TIt is known that precipitation is a variable that is difficult to estimate, especially in semiarid regions. Several studies and advances have already been obtained in the estimation of precipitation, but there is still a need to develop models that can provide more real estimates. In order to contribute to this line of research, this study aimed to assess the relationship between rainfall and the leaf area index in the caatinga biome. The simple linear correlation method between precipitation and leaf area index was used. The precipitation data used in this study were obtained by the ETA model and those of the leaf area index were obtained by the MODIS sensor. The statistical relationships showed a good correlation between the leaf area index and precipitation. Thus, it is concluded that the understanding of the dynamics of the spatial and temporal leaf area index can help in the understanding of the spatial and temporal dynamics of precipitation in the caatinga. The estimation of precipitation by the ETA model can be improved with the use of the leaf area index. Keywords: remote sensing, LAI, ETA model, rainfall, caatinga.

Program counter-discourse (kontra wacana) adalah program yang berusaha menciptakan “a way of thinking that opposes an institutionalized discourse”. Selama ini wacana kaum fundamentalis, kaum radikal hinga kelompok-kelompok teroris sudah terlembaga sedemikian rupa di Indonesia melalui proses yang panjang dalam sejarah sosial politik negeri ini. Teka-teki yang muncul atas motif apakah yang mendasari makin maraknya kaum profesional yang berkecukupan tergiur untuk menjadi tentara Negara Islam Irak dan Suriah (NIIS) atau yang lebih dikenal dengan ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) belum juga terpecahkan secara komprehensif. Hingga saat ini, sudah sekitar 518 warga negara Indonesia diduga bergabung dengan ISIS dan menurut catatan Sidney Jones dari Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict (IPAC), sudah lebih dari 800 warga negara Indonesia yang sudah berangkat dan bergabung dengan gerakan “teroris” tersebut di Suriah. Oleh karena itu, perlu membangun kontra wacana sebagai benteng untuk membendung upaya “cuci otak” yang dilakukan oleh pihak-pihak yang tidak bertanggung jawab.  Program ini tentu saja tidak akan berjalan tanpa dukungan dari berbagai pihak terkait, terutama pihak-pihak yang paham dengan permasalahan ini. Padahal, di sisi lain, upaya dan program nyata untuk memerangi terorisme yang bersifat straight-forward dan sistematis seharusnya terus digalakkan dan terlembaga. Harapannya, program kontra wacana ini dapat mereduksi dan menghantam ideologi-ideologi yang menyimpang yang selama ini dianut oleh gerakan-gerakan sosial politik keagamaan.

Nikola Tesla, un genio entre luces y desfalcos (reseña descriptiva)
Authors: Mejía Villagrán Claudia Patricia
Published: March 2021

Nikola Tesla fue un gran científico e inventor que vivió entre mediados del siglo XIX y mediados del siglo XX. No solo se caracterizó por ser un personaje polémico, sino que también fue un gran visionario que cambió la forma en que aún hoy, nos comunicamos e interactuamos con el mundo. Entre sus contribuciones más importantes (inventos, adaptaciones y/o perfeccionamiento de equipos) están, el motor de corriente alterna, el manejo teledirigido de dispositivos, el transformador, la propulsión eléctrica, el generador de rayos x, las bombillas fluorescentes, las luces de neón y de arco voltaico y los principios de la tomografía usada hoy en día para detección del cáncer. Si Nikola Tesla hubiese nacido en nuestro tiempo, muy seguramente habría tenido diagnóstico de esquizofrenia o de trastorno obsesivo compulsivo debido a su comportamiento excéntrico y a las frecuentes visiones vívidas que manifestaba tener.

The Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Drug Discovery and Development
Authors: Archer Matthew , Germain Stephanie
Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT

The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has risen astronomically within modern society, but its influence within the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors is set to be hugely significant.

Artificial intelligence can be defined as the idea and development of computers that are able to perform tasks traditionally thought of as requiring human intelligence and subsequent learning.

In this article, we will bring to light some of the diverse roles and select limitations of AI, from drug discovery and development, to marketing and purposing drugs for clinical use. The pathway of drug discovery is well documented to be time and financially intensive. With the digitsation of data and advancements in technology combined with the cumbersome process of drug discovery and subsequent development, it creates a perfect environment for integration of AI.

AI can be implemented in all stages of drug discovery from helping to identify potential targets and molecules through to aiding the trial design and finally it has uses with ongoing monitoring of post market products.

We consider this to be pivotal time in using AI to revolutionise the discovery process, allowing us to move away from traditional drug discovery with high value drugs and towards an enhanced number of discoveries with shorter lead time. It should be appreciated that there will be challenges still posed by this integration; data acquisition and specifically high-quality data, interpretation of the data and whether this can translate into real world results.
The Dynamics Transformation of Public Policy Making in Indonesian Democracy
Authors: Al Fatih Andy
Published: March 2021

Public policies are purposed, basically, to solve public problems and for the sake of public welfare. They should, therefore, be made thoughtfully, implemented successfully, and give pleasant impacts to the target groups. This article is related to the dynamics transformation of public policy making in indonesian democracy. In centralistic political system, national government (executive body) controlled more essential public affairs. As the result, most public policies were much engineered and directed, mostly, to the needs of the in power. The tendentious public policies were abused for personal, group, and cronies’ interests of the in authority officials. The people were left behind, served as object of development, and stayed poor. It happened for decades. The people could not stand it any longer and struggled for a reformed government resulting in regional autonomy.   Regional autonomy seems promising for the people’s prosperity. In this era, legislative body tends to control power. The people set hopes and wait for happiness. In fact, some members of parliament only show power. They control many walks of lives. They represent themselves rather than the people. They somewhat abuse power and make public policies for their own gains. The people are left behind again and still get disappointed. Here, a paradox occurs. The paradox must be sorted out well. The hot discussion begins. The actors blame to one another.

Learning Civil Technology at the school level is not about discovering new or unknown ideas. Rather it is about capacitating learners with hands-on practical skills that are known and needed in engineering as well as artisans’ sectors. The purpose of this study is to explore how Civil Technology teachers actualise practical lessons through assessment. Purposive sampling was used to identify 5 teachers of Ekurhuleni district schools in the Gauteng Province to participate in this study. Observation, Document analysis and interview instruments were used as data-collection methods. Assessment theories were used as a conceptual framework to understand how various assessments are used to execute practical lessons of Civil Technology. The study found that only assessment for learning was used well by teachers, however, assessment as learning, as reflective, of learning and competency based assessment were used for compliance purposes and sometimes misunderstood as a tool to strengthen practical activities. It can be concluded that most Civil Technology teachers do not perceive assessment as a mechanism to strengthen hands-on practical activities. This study recommends that Civil Technology teachers should be assisted on how to appropriately use assessment strategies to cater for all learning needs associated with practical skills.
