Implications of fractalkine on glial function, ablation and glial proteins/receptors/markers—understanding its therapeutic usefulness in neurological settings: a narrative review
Authors: Paul Deepraj , Basavan Duraiswamy
Published: December 2022

Background

Fractalkine (CX3CL1) is a chemokine predominantly released by neurons. As a signaling molecule, CX3CL1 facilitates talk between neurons and glia. CX3CL1 is considered as a potential target which could alleviate neuroinflammation. However, certain controversial results and ambiguous role of CX3CL1 make it inexorable to decipher the overall effects of CX3CL1 on the physiopathology of glial cells.

Main body of the abstract

Implications of cross-talk between CX3CL1 and different glial proteins/receptors/markers will give a bird eye view of the therapeutic significance of CX3CL1. Keeping with the need, this review identifies the effects of CX3CL1 on glial physiopathology, glial ablation, and gives a wide coverage on the effects of CX3CL1 on certain glial proteins/receptors/markers.

Short conclusion

Pinpoint prediction of the therapeutic effect of CX3CL1 on neuroinflammation needs further research. This is owing to certain obscure roles and implications of CX3CL1 on different glial proteins/receptors/markers, which are crucial under neurological settings. Further challenges are imposed due to the dichotomous roles played by CX3CL1. The age-old chemokine shows many newer scopes of research in near future. Thus, overall assessment of the effect of CX3CL1 becomes crucial prior to its administration in neuroinflammation.

PURPOSE

This ongoing trial is comparing the efficacy and safety of three ablation treatments for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or higher. Here, we present early data regarding pain, side effects, and acceptability of CO2 gas-based cryotherapy (CO2), nongas cryotherapy, and thermal ablation (TA). Efficacy results are expected to become available in late 2023.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

This noninferiority randomized trial is taking place in El Salvador, China, and Colombia. Patients are 1,152 eligible women with biopsy-confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or higher who will receive one of three ablation treatments. Pain is measured before, during, and after treatment with a visual analog scale (1-10). Side effects and acceptability are assessed at 6 weeks.

RESULTS

To date, 1,024 of 1,152 (89%) women were randomly assigned to treatment. The median pain level was higher during TA (4, IQR = 4) than CO2 (2, IQR = 4) or nongas cryotherapy (2, IQR = 4) ( P < .01, range: 0-10). The most common post-treatment symptom was watery discharge, reported by 97.9% of women, and it lasted longer in the CO2 group than the other two treatments (in days, median [IQR]: CO2 = 20[20], nongas cryotherapy = 15[10], TA = 18[15], P < .01). Bleeding was reported more frequently in women treated with TA (27.6%) than CO2 (17.5) or nongas cryotherapy (18.7%) ( P < .01). The majority of patients reported being very satisfied with the treatment they received at 6 weeks (91%) and again at 12 months post-treatment (97%).

CONCLUSION

Despite differences in pain and side effects across ablation treatments, all were safe and highly acceptable to patients. In addition to efficacy, considerations such as cost and portability may be more significant in choosing a treatment method.

Visible protein-like particle standards may improve visual inspection and/or appearance testing practices used in the biotechnology industry. They may improve assay performance resulting in better alignment and more standardized training among different companies. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has conducted an interlaboratory study to test whether the standards under development mimic typical proteinaceous particles found in biotherapeutics and if they can be implemented during the visual inspection process. Fourteen organizations from industry and government have participated. A total of 20 labs from these 14 organizations participated with analysts from 6 formulation, 7 analytical, 4 quality control, and 3 manufacturing labs. The circulated samples consisted of abraded ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) particles or photolithographic particles. The results consist of qualitative ratings, which varied substantially among organizations and within labs. Polydisperse ETFE particle suspensions, containing particles enriched in greater than 150 µm in size, were rated more favorably than the photolithographic particles by formulation and analytical scientists. The largest monodisperse photolithographic particles (approximately 300 µm in size) were favored equally compared to ETFE by all scientists. Solution modifications to decrease the settling rate or to alter optical properties of the ETFE solutions yielded lower ratings by the analysts. Both particle types received mixed ratings for their usability and for their application for visual inspection and for training purposes. Industry feedback will assist NIST in developing reference material(s) for visible protein-like particles.

Graphical Abstract
“Then and Now”: The Making of a Visual Frontier
Authors: Lee Shimrit
Published: December 2022

This article explores the role of the visual field in establishing and expanding the frontier of Jewish settlement in pre-state Palestine. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Zionist funds, including the Jewish National Fund and the Foundation Fund, among others, produced and distributed visual material in an ideologically controlled way that was meant to resonate with American audiences deeply invested in their own frontier mythologies. Through an examination of the work of formative Zionist photographers Abraham Soskin and Zoltan Kluger, as well as visual forms found at the Jewish Palestine Pavilion in the 1939–40 World's Fair in New York, the author identifies three central tenets of frontier building that wove their way through the Zionist visual field: transformation, citizenship, and security.
At the Borderland of History
Authors: Lam Tong
Published: December 2022

Drawing on field observations in Dandong and Sinuiju, corresponding border cities in China and North Korea, respectively, this extended visual essay meditates on the mutual imbrication of landscape and history in this border-contact zone. Whereas Chinese soldiers and tourists passing through Dandong once used North Korea—real or imagined—as the photographic backdrop to construct their socialist imageries from comradeship to the industrializing future, mainland tourists today regard North Korea as an economic and political failure vis-à-vis China's high-speed growth. Aside from being a trade hub, Dandong has become a giant theme park for those who seek to consume everything North Korean. Meanwhile, amid the sense of Chinese superiority over their neighboring country on the other side of the Yalu River, China's own past, much like the murky river that divides the two historic port cities, has become more disarticulated than ever.
Αξιολόγηση εκπαίδευσης πολιτών στη διαχείριση μαζικών καταστροφών με χρήση πρότυπου εκπαιδευτικού εργαλείου
Authors: Πάσσιου Μαρία
Published: December 2022

Εισαγωγή: Τα τελευταία χρόνια η αύξηση των συμβάντων που οδηγούν σε καταστροφές, με ανυπολόγιστες συνέπειες τόσο σε ανθρώπινες ζωές όσο και σε οικονομικές απώλειες, αναγκάζουν την επιστημονική κοινότητα και τους διεθνείς οργανισμούς στον επαναπροσδιορισμό της διαχείρισης, δίνοντας μεγαλύτερη βαρύτητα στην πρόληψη και στην εμπλοκή όλων των στρωμάτων μιας κοινωνίας. Σκοπός: Σκοπός της παρούσης μελέτης ήταν να διερευνήσει αν η εκπαίδευση στη διαχείριση διακινδύνευσης των καταστροφών απαιτεί επιπλέον μεθόδους, συνδυαστικά με την παραδοσιακή εκπαίδευση, μέσω της οποίας παρέχονται οι θεωρητικές γνώσεις, προκειμένου οι εκπαιδευόμενοι να καθίστανται ικανοί να μετατρέψουν τη θεωρία σε πράξη σε περιβάλλοντα αβέβαια και στρεσσογόνα, υπό τη χρονική και συναισθηματική πίεση. Μέθοδος: Πρόκειται για ποσοτική, τυχαιοποιημένη μελέτη παρέμβασης, με τρεις διαδοχικές μετρήσεις. Ως εκπαιδευτική παρέμβαση χρησιμοποιήθηκε αλγόριθμος λήψης αποφάσεων και ακρωνύμιο ενώ ως εργαλείο μέτρησης βίντεο 360, εικονικής πραγματικότητας, και λίστα ελέγχου. Το δείγμα αφορούσε 240 πολίτες, εθελοντές σε οργάνωση διαχείρισης μαζικών συμβάντων. Αποτελέσματα: Τα δημογραφικά χαρακτηριστικά των συμμετεχόντων ήταν σχεδόν όμοια και στις δύο ομάδες αναφορικά με την ηλικία, το μορφωτικό επίπεδο και το φύλο, όπου οι άντρες συμμετέχοντες ήταν, περίπου, 62%. Μετά την εκπαιδευτική παρέμβαση η απόδοση των εκπαιδευόμενων αυξήθηκε κατά 47% (p<0,05), ποσοστό που διατηρήθηκε και μετά την έλευση αρκετού χρονικού διαστήματος και συγκεκριμένα 18 μηνών. Βελτιωμένος ήταν και ο χρόνος ολοκλήρωσης της προσπάθειας, χωρίς ωστόσο να καταγράφεται στατιστικά σημαντική διαφορά μεταξύ των δύο ομάδων.Συμπεράσματα: Στο πεδίο των καταστροφών, η εκπαίδευση οφείλει να ακολουθεί τις ιδιαιτερότητες του αντικειμένου ώστε να είναι αποτελεσματική. Η χρήση εναλλακτικών μεθόδων, συνδυαστικά με τις δυνατότητες της ψηφιακής τεχνολογίας, υπερτερούν της θεωρητικής διάλεξης και αμβλύνουν τις αντικειμενικές δυσκολίες και τα κενά των ασκήσεων πεδίου.

Authors: Wang Yaqiang , Wu Qunfang , Wang Qin , Xiao Lan , Zhu Junlin , Xu Boyuan , Sun Zhifeng
Published: December 2022

In order to provide convenience in the design work as the manufacturer-supplied models of silicon carbide (SiC) metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) are generally only applicable to specific software, an analytical switching model of SiC MOSFET considering the junction temperature characteristics based on MATLAB is proposed in this article. The junction temperature characteristics of the parameters required for the switching process, including threshold voltage, on-resistance and transfer characteristics of SiC MOSFET, threshold voltage and output characteristics of body diode, which are extracted from the datasheet of the SiC MOSFET provided by the manufacturer. Then a model for the transient process of the test circuit, including the non-linear capacitance, the parasitic resistance and parasitic inductance from package and the printed circuit board is created. After that, each sub-stage of the switching process is analyzed in detail, then the analytical model is solved numerically using MATLAB. Finally, the SiC MOSFET C3M0075120K manufactured by Wolfspeed is selected as the case study to verify the built model, and the accuracy is validated by comparing with the LTspice simulation and experiment results. As a result, the proposed model can be applied, especially in designs involving junction temperatures.
Personal Information Space High School Student-Innovator
Authors: Bychkov Anatoliy
Published: December 2022

In the Federal State Educational Standard of Secondary General Education, the «Portrait of a school graduate» presents such a personal characteristic of a student as «motivated for creativity and innovative activity».

In the Federal State Educational Standard of Secondary General Education in Computer Science, «the ability to organize personal information space using various means of digital technologies» is named as mandatory personality qualities of students. At the same time, the target orientation of the formation of a personal information space is not specified.

There are didactic grounds to consider it expedient to orient students to the formation of a specific personal information space focused on a specific type of activity, in particular, innovation.

Nowadays, during the difficult historical development of Russia in the conditions of increasing sanctions pressure of unfriendly states and the need for Russian citizens to master «new competencies» for effective participation in import substitution processes in all types of production activities, in order to ensure technological sovereignty, it is necessary to put the mastery of citizens, including schoolchildren, flexible skills of innovation orientation in the process of innovative universal education.

It is advisable to ensure that high school students develop psychological and functional readiness to participate in import substitution processes in their future professional activities as a manifestation of active patriotism using the skills of innovation acquired in general education and, in particular, in a specialized school. It would be right for teachers to focus on the formation of the personality of a high school student-innovator using the technologies of informatization of education.
Political terror of the Active Resistance Party of Finland and radical left organizations in the Grand Duchy of Finland in 1903-1907
Authors: Postnikov Nikolay
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this article is to analyze the terrorist activities of the Active Resistance Party of Finland («activists») and left-wing radical organizations in the Grand Duchy of Finland in 1903–1907. The article used such methods of scientific research as descriptive, historical, retrospective and comparative method. The article examines in detail the terrorist activities of the militants of the Active Resistance Party of Finland against the highest officials of state bodies of the Grand Duchy of Finland, namely, the plot describes the assassination attempt on Governor-Generals N.I. Bobrikov and I.M. Obolensky, on the governor of the Tavastgus province A.A. Papkov, on other high-ranking officials of the principality, and also tells about the murder of the prosecutor of the Finnish Senate E. Soisalon-Soininen (Johnsson) and the reaction to this murder of the Finnish society. In addition to the terrorist activities of the militants of the radical bourgeois Active Resistance Party of Finland, terror, as a method of combating the existing government, in the period considered in the article, was also carried out by left-wing radical organizations, which at the stage of their formation had the closest connection with the Active Resistance Party of Finland. The article analyzes the terrorist acts committed by such radical left organizations as «workers' activists», the Force of the Karelian people, «Bloody Dogs», as well as anarchists, including an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Nicholas II by militants from the «Bloody Dogs» organization, during while the emperor was hunting in Björkö. The article provides information about the close military and revolutionary cooperation of the Active Resistance Party of Finland and radical left organizations with the Russian Socialist-Revolutionary Party, including in the preparation (making of bombs) and carrying out terrorist acts. The theoretical significance of the work lies in the analysis and definition of the place and role of terror as a political practice and method of struggle of various political forces of the Grand Duchy of Finland in 1903-1907, starting with the bourgeois-separatist Active Resistance Party of Finland and ending with small anarchist groups. The terror of the Finnish radicals, despite their declared politically "noble" goals of the struggle for the independence of Finland and the struggle for the liberation of labor from the yoke of capital, did not find mass support from the Finnish society, moreover, caused rejection in it, which became one of the reasons for the political collapse Active resistance parties in Finland and the collapse of left-wing organizations that relied on terror as a means to achieve their goals.
Problematyka osadnictwa paleolitycznego i mezolitycznego w świetle badań interdyscyplinarnych. Analiza wybranych regionów

Published: December 2022

W artykule przedstawiono zarys problematyki badawczej dotyczącej osadnictwa schyłkowopaleolitycznego, realizowanej przez autorki w ramach studiów doktoranckich w Instytucie Archeologii Uniwersytetu Mikołaja Kopernika pod merytoryczną opieką prof. dr. hab. Krzysztofa Cyrka.

Ewa Jurzysta badała pozostałości krótkotrwałych obozowisk i pracowni krzemieniarskich w górnym odcinku Narwi, położonych głównie na piaszczystych terasach nadzalewowych rzeki i jej dopływów. Analizie poddano zabytki pozyskane podczas badań powierzchniowych, a także materiały odkryte w wyniku prac wykopaliskowych prowadzonych w tym rejonie. Wykonano też datowanie metodą termoluminescencji dla trzech próbek osadów piaszczystych, uzyskane daty wskazują na późnoglacjalny wiek tarasu rzecznego. Efekty tych prac zostały wykorzystane do studiów nad schyłkowopaleolitycznym osadnictwem na wspomnianym obszarze.

Justyna Kuriga pojęła próbę wieloaspektowej analizy wielokulturowego i wielofazowego stanowiska w Łykowem (województwo łódzkie), poświęcając szczególną uwagę źródłom związanym z mezolitycznymi społecznościami łowiecko-zbierackimi. Wśród głównych celów prowadzonych prac wymienić można rekonstrukcję zasięgu, sposobu zasiedlenia i użytkowania tego miejsca oraz przedstawienie poszczególnych faz osadniczych na szerszym tle kulturowym.

Podstawowym założeniem badawczym przyjętym przez Beatę Bielińską-Majewską było zweryfikowanie i usystematyzowanie dotychczasowych wyników badań nad późnym paleolitem w dorzeczach dolnej Wisły i środkowej Warty, analiza oraz określenie przynależności kulturowej i chronologii dostępnych źródeł archeologicznych, a w konsekwencji stworzenie obrazu ówczesnej sytuacji kulturowej w tej części Polski. Bazę źródłową stanowiły materiały z ponad 280 stanowisk archeologicznych oraz kompleksu w Brzozie (dawniej Toruń–Rudak).

Wheelwrighting today: transformation and sustainability of the craft in Central Europe (an example of Czechia, Slovakia and Poland)
Authors: Smrčka Aleš
Published: December 2022

The study deals with the transformation and current form of wheelwrighting in three Central European countries - the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia.  The introductory section informs about the research on the theme in the above territory, and using the example of the range of products, manufacturing technology and producers, it points out that traditional crafts can exist even today without maintaining their viability artificially. However, the text also takes into consideration how the craft has developed recently, and while evaluating its viability the author argues that the sustainability of wheelwrighting is affected not only by the economic purpose, but it is also its entertaining and tourist role and the nostalgia that begin to prove successful in addition to the former purely financial aspect. The original financial aspect shifts from the use of the wheelwright´s products for transport and livelihood to the modern use of tradition and heritage concept in business, especially in emphasizing the symbolic value of the products of traditional craftsmanship for both the producer and the consumer. Moreover, it is not only the vision of economic profit but also the element of remembering and evoking the past that are being pursued. Institutional protection of wheelwright's trade is equally important for the existence and sustainability of the craft.

Authors: Posern-Zieliński Aleksander
Published: December 2022

Tubylcze praktyki lecznicze zyskały znaczne uznanie w krajach andyjskiej Ameryki Południowej, ulegając profesjonalizacji i instytucjonalizacji. Dzięki akceptacji wielokulturowości, wieloetniczności i prawnego uznania różnorodności tradycyjne praktyki szamanistyczne, zielarskie, lecznicze i magiczne awansowały do kategorii tubylczej medycyny, akceptowanej przez społeczeństwo i publiczną służbę zdrowia. W ten sposób tubylcze tradycje lecznicze i koncepcje choroby i zdrowia wkroczyły także do miast, szpitali, przychodni, szkół wyższych i aptek zyskując szerokie uznanie w środowiskach nie-indiańskich. W rezultacie ukształtował się swoisty dualizm medycznych praktyk polegający na komplementarnym współistnieniu sektora medycyny popularnej o korzeniach tubylczych i sektora akademickiej biomedycyny skierowanego do zamożniejszych kręgów społecznych.

Changes in Total Polyphenol, Flavonoid Contents and Antioxidant Activity of Nurungji added with Turmeric Powder according to Heating Condition
Authors: Yong Ji-Eun , Kang Sung-Tae
Published: December 2022

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of manufacturing temperature on curcuminoid contents and the antioxidant activity of turmeric (Curcuma aromatica Salab.) powder-enhanced nurungji. Two different processes employed turmeric powder (2%): AR (added after rice cooked) and BR (added before rice cooked). AR and BR nurungji samples were prepared by heating cooked rice at 180°C, 200°C, and 220°C for 3 minutes. As a result of the HPLC analysis, the contents of curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin decreased as the heating temperature increased. Moreover, AR samples showed higher curcuminoids than BR samples. The total polyphenol contents, DPPH, and ABTS radical scavenging ability proportionally increased with the increase of the manufacturing temperature. On the other hand, flavonoid contents were decreased with increasing temperature. These results suggest that the preparation of turmeric powder-enhanced nurungji by AR process at 200°C is preferable to preserving curcuminoid contents and antioxidative activity.
Computational Analysis for Miniaturization of Tapered Slot Antenna using Elliptical Conducting Loaded Strips
Authors: Tariq Bismah , Amjad Muhammad , Aziz Abdul
Published: December 2022

In this paper, the computational analysis for miniaturization of antipodal Vivaldi antenna (AVA) by an additional single elliptical loaded strip (SELS) is presented. The performance of the miniaturized antenna is evaluated by finite difference time domain (FDTD) technique, while its performance is also verified by finite element method (FEM). The computational time and cost of the two techniques are also compared to highlight the significance of the most suitable technique for miniaturization of the wideband antenna. It achieves ultra-wideband performance with lower cutoff frequency at 0.668 GHz and 19.52 % size reduction with suitable gain performance. The proposed compact antenna exhibits good performance in the sub-GHz and ultra-wideband (UWB) frequency ranges, which makes it a suitable candidate for low power energy harvesting systems as well as for ultra-wideband applications.
Compact Dual-band (28/38 GHz) Patch for MIMO Antenna System of Polarization Diversity
Authors: El-Hassan Mai Abo. , Hussein Khalid F. A. , Farahat Asmaa E.
Published: December 2022

In this work a novel design of a compact-size patch antenna is introduced for dual-band operation at 28/38 GHz. The antenna is constructed as a perforated resonant patch on a defected ground structure (DGS). The development stages of the design are described in detail. The patch is inset-fed through a microstrip line. A four-port MIMO antenna system is constructed using the proposed patch antenna. The antennas are arranged at the corners of a mobile handset in orthogonal orientations which results in polarizations and spatial diversities as well as low mutual coupling. The single antenna as well as the MIMO antenna system performance is assessed through numerical simulations and experimental measurements. The scattering parameters including the reflection and coupling coefficients are calculated using the commercially available CST® package and measured experimentally showing good agreement. The proposed antenna has a bandwidth of 0.6 GHz at 28 GHz and 1.17 GHz at 38 GHz. To evaluate the performance of the proposed MIMO antenna system, key performance parameters such as the radiation efficiency, envelope correlation coefficient (ECC), and diversity gain (DG) are investigated. The proposed four-port MIMO antenna system configuration is shown to be suitable for polarization and spatial diversity schemes as illustrated from the resulting radiation patterns. The proposed antenna has high radiation efficiency and the MIMO system has very good values for the ECC and DG over the operating frequency bands. The MIMO system possesses good polarization and spatial diversities with good isolation between the antennas without the use of any isolation enhancement techniques.
Automotive tire defect characterization with a portable digital holographic camera with an extended field of view
Authors: Chakraborty Sonali , Kumar Raj
Published: December 2022

Detection of tire defects is of prime importance for the on-road safety
of vehicles. Hence, a quick non-invasive mechanism is required for
frequent testing of tires in service as well as for quality checks of
newly manufactured tires in the automotive industry. We propose a
methodology based on the principle of double-exposure digital
holographic interferometry, implemented with a portable digital
holographic camera for successful detection and dimension measurement
of tire defects. To implement the principle, mechanical load is
applied to a tire to produce interferometric fringes by comparing the
normal and stressed states of the tire surface. The defects in the
tire sample are identified from discontinuities in the interferometric
fringes. Quantitative analysis of the displacement of the fringes
gives the dimensions of the defects. Some experimental results are
presented, validated by a vernier caliper.
Integrating Fresnel diffraction, multi-phase retrieval, and hyperchaos mapping for color image encryption
Authors: Wu Jun , Shen Yiren , Xu Gang
Published: December 2022

This study proposes a color image encryption method combining Fresnel diffraction, multi-phase retrieval, and hyperchaotic mapping in two stages. First, the color image is converted into an amplitude-type computer-generated hologram (CGH) that overlaps in the frequency domain and separates in the spatial domain. The Gerchberg-Saxton (GS) multi-phase retrieval algorithm encrypts the CGH into a meaningless ciphertext in the second stage, scrambling/diffusing it further using four random sequences generated from the Lorenz hyperchaotic system. The experiment on public color images shows that the decrypted color images are highly consistent with plaintext images. This method’s key has a large space (approximately

10

∧
301

) and a small volume. Slight changes to the plaintext completely alter the ciphertext, and its pixel values are statistically independent, thus securing the proposed method against chosen-plaintext attacks and chosen-ciphertext attacks.
Learning to live: Anarcho-syndicalism and utopia in Spain, 1931–37
Authors: Evans Danny , Stainforth Elizabeth
Published: December 2022

This article reassesses the debate around the meaning of ‘libertarian communism’ within the Spanish anarcho-syndicalist movement in the years prior to and during the Civil War. Drawing on recent historical and theoretical literature that argues for a non-pejorative and analytical understanding of utopia, it brings renewed attention to this aspect of Spanish anarcho-syndicalism. The article focuses on the proposals for a definition of libertarian communism that were debated in the run up to and during the National Confederation of Labour’s (CNT) Zaragoza Congress in May 1936. It argues that a utopian imagination was central to the movement’s self-understanding and concrete achievements, and not confined to its more idealist currents.

Published: December 2022

On the night of 1 June 2021, the northern region of Maputo and Matola city was buffeted by hailstorms of various sizes, the most predominant ranging from 0.5 cm - 4.5 cm. This study aims to analyze the impacts of hailstorms on urban horticulture in the northern strip of Maputo City and Matola. We also observed the effects on domestic horticultural production in some neighbourhoods affected by hailstorms. A mixed methodology was chosen, supported by the following methods and techniques: bibliographical and documental research, direct observation, measurement of the dimension and characteristics of the hail generated in the soil, cartography, interview, analysis, and synthesis. In all production areas, it was notorious for the total and partial destruction of ready-to-cut vegetables, with emphasis on cabbage, lettuce, and onions, which resulted in heavy financial losses for farmers. These losses generated a significant increase in vegetable prices in the following days in local markets. This research suggests the need to closely monitor weather events considering the dynamics imposed by climate change, as well as to improve the system of communicating environmental risks to the most vulnerable population.

POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS E A FUNÇÃO SOCIAL DA FAMÍLIA: A ATUAÇÃO DO PODER JUDICIÁRIO FRENTE À AGENDA 2030 PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO SUSTENTÁVEL
Authors: Bernardes Júlio César
Published: December 2022

O presente artigo tem como objetivo, em um primeiro momento, apresentar a inconsistência das políticas públicas frente à concretização dos direitos sociais, relacionados ao adequado desempenho da Função Social da Família. Partindo da crítica ao modelo econômico vigente e à denominada Sociedade de Consumo, o artigo aborda, ainda, a atuação do Poder Judiciário para a consecução dos direitos sociais rumo à convergência de um planeta sustentável. Conclui-se, ao final, que a Função Social da Família deve ser fortalecida pelo Estado,compreendendo que sua ausência acarretará a acumulação das competências não exercidas pela entidade familiar e, consequentemente, na majoração de recursos públicos canalizados para resolução de problemas socioambientais que lhes são decorrentes. O Poder Judiciário deve concretizar essa função social, por meio de atuação proativa, implementando políticas públicas para efetivar direitos sociais que são negados pelo Estado, como acesso à saúde, à moradia, às condições dignas de vida e à educação. Quanto à Metodologia, utilizou-se o método indutivo e a pesquisa qualitativa. Foram acionadas as Técnicas do Referente, da Categoria, dos Conceitos Operacionais e da Pesquisa Bibliográfica.
O INSTITUTO DA COLABORAÇÃO PREMIADA: INSTRUMENTO RELEVANTE PARA A INVESTIGAÇÃO, ELEMENTO DO SISTEMA PENAL ACUSATÓRIO OU ESTRATÉGIA DA DEFESA?
Authors: Fidelis Wagner Garbelotto Marcus Vinícius , Da Silva Araújo Marília
Published: December 2022

A colaboração premiada é um instituto que busca, em tese, por meio da concessão de um prêmio ao agente cooperante, propiciar aos órgãos estatais uma aprofundada apuração acerca do fato delituoso e dos demais integrantes da organização criminosa. Infere-se que, embora trazido à tona em razão dos desdobramentos da Operação Lava Jato, essa norma já era prevista em legislações anteriores ao período republicano. Em que pese a utilização desse artifício como técnica especial de investigação, não há impedimento para o emprego dessa norma no decorrer do processo penal, assim como não existe óbice ao acusado ofertar sua colaboração como uma peça estratégica de sua defesa. Por efeito, o objetivo deste trabalho será expor um breve panorama acerca desse instituto bem como examinar as formas de aplicação dessa regulamentação.
The characterization of the collimated beams of fast neutrons with the clid detection system
Authors: Ansorge Martin , Novák Jan , Majerle Mitja , Kozic Ján
Published: December 2022

A new detection device for the measurements of light ions (p, d, t, α) emitted as the products of the nuclear reactions induced by fast neutrons (5-33 MeV) was recently developed at the Nuclear Physics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The main objective of the Chamber-for-Light-Ion-Detection (CLID) is to produce new differential nuclear data of high interest for the material applications related to fusion and aerospace technologies and to potentially test and validate models of nuclear reactions. Hereby the experimental set-up for the measurements with the CLID is described in detail. The experimental characterization of the collimated fast neutron beams produced by the cyclotron-driven converter (p(35 MeV)+Be(2.5 mm)) is presented. In particular, the implementation of the Proton-Recoil-Telescope technique used for neutron energy spectra determination with the CLID is described.
On the ongoing computation of the LVR-15 reactor fuel burnup
Authors: Pinta Jan
Published: December 2022

Isotopic composition of the LVR-15 reactor fuel changes significantly during the operation time. In order to enable Monte Carlo calculations of the LVR-15 core throughout any reasonable time period, the isotopic compositions of partially depleted fuel assemblies have to be known at the start of the simulation. Even though the infinite lattice calculation can represent useful initial approximation, the non-leakage assumption is not necessarily valid for compact and highly heterogenous cores like in case of the LVR-15. Therefore, a more advanced calculation process have to be implemented towards appropriate determination of fuel assembly burnup. The main aim of this paper is to describe the current state of the ongoing computation as well as provide an explanation of the chosen calculation scheme of the LVR-15 operation history. Currently available results that are affected by profound inaccuracy are discussed in the final part alongside with planned future improvements.
Reactor criticals and spent fuel systems similarities
Authors: Šikl Matěj
Published: December 2022

Many conservative assumptions for subcriticality assessment calculations have to be made in current calculations of spent fuel storage systems. This is due to a fact that there is no available database of benchmarks containing spent fuel or materials with isotopic composition like spent fuel. However one potential source of spent fuel system experiments is being omitted – there are hundreds of commercial reactors around the world containing spent fuel on some level of burnup. These reactors have to be tested for safety reasons in the beginning of each cycle and parameters of these test states are well known.In this paper a possibility of using commercial reactor critical states for code validations and for subcriticality assessments of storage systems is discussed and potential approach for criticality safety analysis is given.

A 2-year-old spayed female Border Collie presented with visual deficits and behavioral changes. Neurological examination revealed bilateral menace response deficit with a normal pupil light reflex. Cerebral cortical thinning, cerebral sulci and cerebellar fissure widening, ventriculomegaly, and cerebral atrophy were observed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Histopathology revealed fluorescent lipopigment accumulation in the cerebrum, and the dog was diagnosed with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. This is the first case report describing the changes in clinical signs, MRI findings, and histopathologic changes in neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis in Korea.
METODE INTERPRETASI ZOOSEMIOTIKA SASTRA AL-QUR’AN DAN APLIKASINYA DALAM SURAT AL-MUDDAṠṠIR AYAT KE 50-51
Authors: Mushodiq Muhamad Agus
Published: December 2022

Discrimination and ill-treatment of animals are still ongoing today. In the Islamic world, this is allegedly the result of a non-holistic interpretation of religious texts. This paper aims to formulate a literature zoosemiotic interpretation method of the Qur'an and apply it to Surah al-Muddaṡṡir verses 50-51. The method is formulated to explore the meaning of animal verses in the Qur'an holistically and proportionally. There are two results of the research in this article. First, the steps of the literary zoosemiotics interpretation method refer to (1) determining the typology of animals in the Qur'an based on literary zoological themes, (2) outlining asbāb al-nuzūl micro-macro and makiyyah-madaniyyah letters. (3) conducting a study of munāsabah al-āyāt, intratextual, and intertextuality, (4) reviewing the results of previous mufasir interpretations, (5) describing the meaning of the word verse with semiotics and balāgah, and (6) efforts find zoosembiology (reciprocity) between the Qur'anic literature and zoology and conclude the relevance between animal literature and human life. Second, based on the new myth, the ḥumur ‘donkeys’ in Surah al-Muddaṡṡir verses 50-51 describes the fanaticism of the tribes and the degree of opposition of the Quraysh to the da'wah of the Prophet Muhammad, not the symbol of ignorance that exists in the old myth.

Published: December 2022

Harpiocephalus is a monospecific genus including only the species Harpiocephalus harpia and is reported only from ten countries in Southeast Asia. H. harpia has been reported in several habitats but has a relatively patchy distribution, and its population monitoring and ecological studies are scarce or absent in many regions. During chiropteran surveys in 2016 and 2021, three individuals of the large Tubenosed bats (subfamily Murininae) were caught in Central and Eastern Nepal. Based on the following external morphological characteristics, the bats were distinguished from Murina spp. and identified as H. harpia: larger body, hairy and short muzzle, heavily haired feet and interfemoral membrane, long reddish hairs in dorsal pelage, white-tipped hairs over the head and neck; and whitish to greyish ventral pelage. These specimens represent the country’s first records of H. harpia and represent a remarkable extension of the specie range as it is approximately 400 km westward from its previously known distribution area.
Kapłańska krew – za wiarę. Męczeństwo ks. Stanisława Streicha w świetle procesu beatyfikacyjnego
Authors: Mueller Wojciech
Published: December 2022

Pomimo upływu wielu lat zagadnienie „zbrodni lubońskiej” dokonanej na ks. Stanisławie Streichu 27 lutego 1938 r. wciąż intryguje, przede wszystkim ze względu na jego wieloaspektowość. Wyraża się ona w specyfice zaistnienia tego faktu na tle politycznym, światopoglądowym i społecznym. Wszystkie trzy płaszczyzny biorą swój początek z motywów zbrodni, są ze sobą ściśle związane i mogą być przyczynkiem do wielu uwag i spostrzeżeń uczynionych z perspektywy czasu. Pewne jest, że w obliczu dramatu zabójstwa ks. Stanisława Streicha przez komunistę Wawrzyńca Nowaka wpływy organizacji lewicowych na mieszkańców Lubonia i okolicy znacznie zmalały. Wielu lubonian, uczestnicząc w pogrzebie swego duszpasterza, w manifestacjach potępiających zbrodnię, jasno zdecydowało i określiło stronę, po której się opowiadają. W parafii pw. św. Jana Bosko w Luboniu na przestrzeni lat powstały liczne inicjatywy zmierzające do procesu beatyfikacyjnego Sługi Bożego, który rozpoczął się 28 października 2017 r. Obecnie na różne sposoby przypomina się i promuje osobę męczennika. Pamięć o nim nadal żyje w sercach wielu, czyniąc z niego wyjątkowego Świadka Wiary dla całej Archidiecezji Poznańskiej.
Recenzja książki Die Mariologie im deutschen Sprachraum.Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Herausforderungen für die Zukunft, red. M. Hauke, Verlag Friedrich Pustet, Regensburg 2021, ss. 271
Authors: Wojtczak Adam
Published: December 2022

Książka składa się z ośmiu referatów, które zostały wygłoszone na konferencji naukowej poświęconej podsumowaniu i ocenie posoborowej mariologii w krajach języka niemieckiego. Pierwsza jej część, bardziej historyczna, prezentuje genezę, dzieje i główne osiągnięcia trzech ośrodków, które kształtują współczesne oblicze niemieckojęzycznej mariologii (Niemieckie Towarzystwo Mariologiczne, Międzynarodowe Koło Mariologiczne w Kevelaer, Instytut Marianum w Ratyzbonie). Druga jej część, bardziej teologiczna, obejmuje kwestie merytoryczne. Przybliża specyfikę mariologii Benedykta XVI i wiodących mariologów obszaru języka niemieckiego (np.: H. Menke, A. Ditrich, M. Hoffman, R. Hangler i G. Greshake), a także opisuje aktualną obecność wykładów z mariologii na katolickich fakultetach teologicznych Niemiec, Austrii i Szwajcarii.
