An Investigation into the Nexus Between Human Development and Carbon Dioxide Emissions: A Global Panel Analysis
Authors: Adom A. Désiré
Published: December 2021

A fact is that the environment remains an open-ended topic of paramount importance and interest in the literature. This is also true among decision-makers and the average person on “Main Street.” Another fact is that the momentum of human development is ongoing in most parts of the globe with higher wealth creation capabilities, better education and access to it, and better healthcare, all of which translates into a higher life expectancy. In that global context, it becomes a worthwhile endeavor to empirically assess the relationship between human development and pollution in the form of carbon dioxide emissions. Towards this end, the study considers different statistical and econometric methods involving granger-causality, panel vector error correction, and impulse responses. Using a broad panel of 139 countries sourced from the World Bank Group and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) over the 1995-2018 period, results indicate some key takeaways and a material policy implication. Improvements in human development exacerbate pollution in the short run. However, in the long run, pollution is contained, even lessened, with improvements in human development. This latter outcome could be due to a growing class of environmentally conscious economic agents and decision-makers over time as economies mature. Such results should not constitute grounds for the pursuit of unchecked and incautious policies. To the contrary, all stakeholders should redouble their efforts in either devising or scrupulously implementing greener policies.
O trabalho pedagógico com primeiro ano de vida dentro dos berçários: uma revisão bibliográfica em base internacional
Authors: Magalhães Giselle Modé , Godoy Júlia
Published: December 2021

O presente artigo é resultado do trabalho de iniciação científica, cujo objetivo foi compreender o estado da arte sobre o trabalho pedagógico com bebês (0 a 1 ano) na literatura internacional. Trata-se, portanto, de uma pesquisa bibliográfica realizada na base Web of Science, que localizou e analisou como a literatura científica tem descrito o trabalho pedagógico com bebês em diferentes partes do mundo nos últimos 5 (cinco) anos. Utilizou-se como descritores: babies, toddler, early childhood, early childhood education, kindergarten e nursery, os quais foram utilizados agrupados e separadamente. Os resultados foram filtrados pelos campos psicologia da educação e pedagogia. Foi feita a leitura dos resumos dos artigos remanescentes e seleção de 15 (quinze) artigos para leitura completa. Os conteúdos encontrados na leitura dos artigos foram categorizados e separados em 4 (quatro) temáticas relacionadas com os objetivos da pesquisa, quais sejam: práticas pedagógicas e concepções dos educadores; interação educador e crianças; aprendizagem das crianças; e a relação entre cuidar e educar. Os resultados indicam temáticas relevantes e diversidade teórica, o que nos aponta para a falta de especificidade ainda presente na educação infantil
A gestão da educação na sociedade capitalista: influências do gerencialismo no processo de humanização
Authors: Primo Polyane , Fernandes Tania Da Costa
Published: December 2021

No contexto de Estado capitalista, organizado em classes, cujos interesses revelam-se antagônicos, as políticas educacionais, em linhas gerais, recebem a interferência da lógica do capital. Considerando os aspectos históricos, políticos, econômicos, culturais e sociais que envolvem a definição destas políticas, a problemática em questão versa sobre o modelo de gestão gerencialista presente na educação pública da sociedade capitalista neoliberal. Os objetivos do estudo consistem em analisar este modelo de gestão gerencialista da educação, com características empresariais que se pautam no atendimento à necessidade do mercado global, identificando os seus impactos na formação dos sujeitos que compõem a classe trabalhadora; e compreender as suas possíveis influências no desenvolvimento humano. Para tanto, ancora-se no método materialista histórico dialético e tem como procedimento metodológico a pesquisa bibliográfica, à luz da psicologia histórico-cultural e da pedagogia histórico-crítica. Como resultado, observa-se que a definição de políticas públicas sociais, entre elas, à educação, a partir da conjuntura mercantil, não é algo novo e, portanto, direciona para uma gestão de ações educativas voltadas para a adequação do sujeito à força de trabalho, a fim de atender às necessidades de contínua reestruturação do capital. Conclui-se, então, que é plausível o resgate de uma reflexão acerca do modelo de gestão da educação que proporcione um processo de apropriação da cultura e objetivação do sujeito, em que a escola tem seu trabalho educativo voltado para o social, no sentido de rompimento com a lógica do capital e possibilitando o desenvolvimento do homem novo, a partir de uma educação emancipadora.

Doutrina ideológica ou falsa neutralidade no processo de formação inicial de professores? Interlocuções com o materialismo histórico-dialético
Authors: Francisco Marcos Vinicius , Ponce Rosiane De Fátima
Published: December 2021

O presente ensaio teórico assumiu como objetivo geral analisar as contradições do Projeto de Lei Escola Sem Partido e a pretensa pseudoneutralidade nos processos de formação inicial de professores. O referencial teórico utilizado tem como base epistemológica o materialismo histórico-dialético. Os resultados revelaram que tanto o Movimento Escola Sem Partido, materializado por segmentos conservadores da sociedade, quanto o referido Projeto de Lei, em nome da busca por uma possível neutralidade na difusão do conhecimento e do combate a discursos desviantes da moral e dos bons costumes nas instituições escolares, apenas, despolitizam a ação educativa e concerne à manutenção das atuais relações sociais.
Por uma educação democrática: um olhar de luta e resistência ao movimento “escola sem partido”
Authors: Rageteles Juliana Pereira , Galvão Ana Carolina
Published: December 2021

O presente artigo tem como objetivo fomentar a discussão sobre a crise nas instituições democráticas que vêm se apresentando no Brasil há alguns anos, especialmente em relação às tentativas de cerceamento e silenciamento do pensamento crítico na educação escolar, materializado nos ideários contidos no Movimento Escola sem Partido. Trata-se de um estudo teórico conceitual que busca analisar os fundamentos deste projeto e quais são os seus interesses para a educação do país. Justificamos a escolha desta temática por compreender a urgência de lutarmos pela preservação do direito à liberdade de cátedra e do ato de ensinar, defendendo a socialização dos conhecimentos artísticos, científicos e filosóficos, especialmente nas escolas públicas brasileiras, espaço predominantemente frequentado pelos filhos da classe que vive do trabalho. Podemos concluir que o Movimento Escola sem Partido se caracteriza como um antimovimento social que busca interferir de maneira autoritária no trabalho docente, determinando quais os conteúdos e como estes devem ser transmitidos nas salas de aula. A partir das conclusões alcançadas salientamos a importância da organização coletiva de um movimento forte de resistência às investidas que, ora ou outra, atentam ferozmente contra a constituição e manutenção de uma escola pública, gratuita, laica e de qualidade para todos.
Palavras lusófonas na Comparative Political Theory | Lusophone words in Comparative Political Theory
Authors: Favarato Claudia
Published: December 2021

The discipline of comparative political theory (CPT) rose within the Anglo-Saxon context in the 1990s; rejecting the existing epistemological hegemony, it aims to integrate non-western theories and thought in political theory. Following a brief overview of CPT, this paper intends to report that CPT in nigh existent in the scholarship of political theory available in Portuguese. The overall scarcity of CPT in Portuguese scholarship texts epitomizes not only the lack of response to comprehensive, globalized or cosmopolitan canons of political theory, as referred in anglophone literature, but also a failure in providing space and representation for authors, texts, ideas and concepts beyond the canons. Among the areas of interests of CPT, political theorizations endogenous of Africa are the least considered ones. In the Portuguese literature of political theory, sub-Saharan and Luso-African political thought and theory are underrepresented.
Relações Executivo-Legislativo na Perspectiva da Medida Provisória no Brasil e do Decreto-Lei em Portugal | Executive-Legislative Relations from the Perspective of the Provisional Measure in Brazil and the Decree-Law in Portugal
Authors: Oliveira Maciel Maria de Nazareth , Da Silva Souza Carlos Augusto
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the paper is to analyze the relationship between the executive and legislative branches from the comparison between the presidential system adopted in Brazil and the semi-presidential system in force in Portugal. The research seeks to identify whether different systems of government produce different results in the capacity of the executive branch to intervene and direct legislative production. To produce a comparison between the two countries, the prerogative of the Brazilian president to produce Provisional Measures was used as an analysis variable and in the Portuguese case the production of Decree-Laws initiated by the Prime Minister. The research comprised the post-democratic period in the two countries, covering 26 years in Brazil and 37 years in Portugal. The results found demonstrate the high capacity that the Portuguese Prime Minister finds to direct legislative production, but this has not remained stable over time. In Brazil, the President’s ability to obtain legislative support for his initiative projects is quite precarious, but this resource has remained stable throughout the analyzed period.

Authors: Girao Augusto Guillermo
Published: December 2021

Throughout history, economic crises, wars and pandemics have exposed social inequalities. The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the greatest challenges facing society in generations. As the public sector takes the initiative to respond to mitigate, and help resolve the crisis, we become aware of the fundamental importance of the role of an effective state. The purpose of this study is to provide a response, by way of reflections, on how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted on Latin American public governance and to allow conclusions to be projected towards the new post-COVID-19 normality. First, an analysis of the current panorama is carried out, to then determine 4 challenges that Latin American governments are facing: the expansion of telework and technology; the weakness of the state and administrative fragmentation; the increase in social inequalities; and finally, the impact of globalization and the world order in LAC. Finally, the research presents provisional conclusions in this initial stage based on the challenges considered.

PENGEMBANGAN LEMARI PENGERING HERBARIUM DENGAN DEHUMIDIFIER DI LABORATORIUM BIOLOGI, UNIVERSITAS BENGKULU
Authors: Susanto Dedi , Edwar Edwar
Published: December 2021

Salah satu kegiatan utama di Laboratorium Biologi adalah pembuatan spesimen herbarium tanaman kering. Kegiatan pembuatan herbarium dilakukan baik dalam kegiatan praktikum maupun penelitian yang dilakukan oleh dosen dan mahasiswa. Di Laboratorium Biologi, pembuatan herbarium dilakukan dengan menggunakan oven sebagai alat pengering. Sementara, saat ini di Laboratorium Biologi subLab Botani hanya terdapat 1 unit oven  berkapasitas 60 liter. Hal ini menjadi salah satu hambatan pelayanan subLab Botani pada kegiatan praktikum dan penelitian, di mana ketika dilaksanakan pembuatan herbarium baik oleh kegiatan praktikum maupun oleh kegiatan penelitian terjadi waktu-tunggu yang cukup lama karena keterbatasan jumlah alat pengering yang ada. Hambatan menjadi semakin besar ketika di waktu bersamaan dilaksanakan kegiatan praktikum atau penelitian lain yang membutuhkan oven juga. Solusi utama dari permasalahan ini adalah pengadaan oven yang baru, namun ini bukan hal yang mudah terlaksana karena harga oven laboratorium berkapasitas besar relatif mahal. Selain itu kapasitas oven yang hanya sekira 60 L hanya mampu menampung sejumlah kecil spesimen tanaman dalam satu kali proses pengeringan. Karena itulah, penulis berupaya mencari solusi alternatif dengan merancang lemari pengering yang memiliki kapasitas muat 2x dari oven yang selama ini telah digunakan. Sebagai alat pengering digunakan paduan dari alat-dehumifier (sebagai penyerap uap air) dan kipas (sebagai pengatur sirkulasi udara).

SEXUAL ORIENTATION MYTHS: DOES THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION AFFECT SEXUAL ORIENTATION MYTHS?
Authors: ÜNVER Hacer , TURAN İpek
Published: December 2021

Abstract: Sexual myths differ from one culture to the next, and one society to the next and they can even differ regionally within the same culture. The aim of this study is to determine the sexual orientation myths of the university students studying theology. The study was conducted between February and June 2020 at three faculties of a state university in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. This descriptive study was conducted with 582 students studying at three faculties. The data were collected by using Personal Information Form, Sexual Orientation Myths Scale. It was determined in the study that there was a statistically significant difference between the sexual orientation myths of the students studying and not studying theology. Advanced analysis revealed that this difference stemmed from the group studying theology. This study revealed that theological education affected sexual orientation myths. This study’s findings are important because they would guide future studies.

Using Audiometry to Track Atherosclerosis: Measuring a Beneficial Effect of Methotrexate
in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: Greenwald Kylie , Greenwald Maria , Ball JoAnn
Published: December 2021

Objectives: To correlate audiometry with atherosclerosis. Presbycusis is associated with age and atherosclerosis; a strong correlation might present opportunities to use audiometry to track atherosclerosis disease.

Design: The authors tested 87 elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis (age range: 80–101 years; median: 86 years) with a history of methotrexate use for over 20 years. After 50 years of age, hearing loss begins slowly and by the age of 90, the majority of the general population require hearing aids. In the 87 elderly participants, however, hearing was remarkably preserved.

Results: The observed cohort of 87 individuals showed better hearing than predicted compared to audiometry historically documented in the elderly (p<0.001). The patients tested one to two decades younger than expected on audiometry and 44% of patients qualified for hearing aids instead of the expected 80%, based on age.

Conclusion: The known reduction in atherosclerosis with methotrexate use in rheumatoid arthritis may account for this observed preservation of hearing.1,2 As hearing and atherosclerosis are related, the authors further postulated that routine audiometry may provide a cost-effective screening tool for other populations in future atherosclerosis studies.
Bone Health in Rheumatoid Arthritis: What Can Studies of Bone Microarchitecture Tell Us?
Authors: Morgan Hannah , Chan Chris , Clynes Michael , Jameson Karen , Holroyd Chris , Cooper Cyrus , Ward Kate , Edwards Mark , Dennison Elaine
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with changes in skeletal health, including increased risk of fracture. This study used a novel technique, high-resolution quantitative CT (HRpQCT), to assess bone microarchitecture in patients with RA.

Methods: There were 59 patients (female: 41; male: 18) with RA recruited. They underwent dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and HRpQCT of the radius and tibia. The questionnaire information included age, sex, BMI, disease duration, comorbidities, medication use, smoking and alcohol consumption, rheumatoid factor (RF) or cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) status, and disease activity. HRpQCT results were compared with published estimated age and sex-specific values.

Results: There were 55 patients (female: 39; male: 16) who had either radial or tibial scans available. The mean age was 55.8 (standard deviation [SD]: 12.6) years and median disease duration was 11.4 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 6.3–19.4). Mean BMI was 27.2 (SD: 5.8). Forty-nine (90.7%) participants were RF or CCP positive, with disease severity ranked as severe in 33 (61.1%) patients and moderate in 20 (37.0%). Fifteen participants (27.8%) had previously taken steroids and 47 (85.5%) were receiving tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (TNF-i) medication. Radial trabecular number and density were lower than expected, and trabecular separation was greater than expected (p<0.05), though tibial results were similar (p<0.10 for trabecular number and separation). No difference in cortical values reached statistical significance in this sample. Previous use of steroids was associated with greater radial periosteal circumference (p<0.05, adjusted for sex) and use of TNF-i agents was associated with lower radial total and trabecular area (p<0.05, adjusted for sex).

Conclusion: Trabecular bone microarchitecture differences were observed among patients with RA. Further studies with larger numbers of participants are needed.
Clinical Manifestations and Diagnosis of Behçet’s Syndrome
Authors: Beça Sara , Espinosa Gerard
Published: December 2021

Behçet’s syndrome (BS) is a systemic vasculitis with a wide range of clinical presentations and disease
courses. It may involve the mucosa, skin, joints, vessels, eyes, and nervous and gastrointestinal systems.
These organ involvements may present alone or co-exist in the same patient. Three main clusters of
commonly co-existing manifestations were recognised and are currently called disease phenotypes.
There is a significant heterogeneity among patients regarding demographic features and clinical
expression of the disease that hinders a standardised disease assessment and a generalised use of
diagnostic criteria. Additionally, BS is not associated with pathognomonic laboratory or histopathology
features; therefore, the diagnosis is mainly based on the clinical manifestations. The purpose of this
narrative review of the literature is to provide a description of the most common or typical clinical
features of BS, summarise the major phenotypes of BS, and address the diagnosis strategy of this
syndrome.
IRONIC ΗRYHIR TIUTIUNNYK (SOME OBSERVATIONS)
Authors: Moroz Larysa
Published: December 2021

One of the most dramatic writers of the 2nd half of the 20th century Hryhir Tiutiunnyk was remembered by all his contemporaries who worked in the cultural sphere as a person endowed with a keen sense of humor, rare wit, and unique artistry (in various genres, both dramatic and comedic). This paper is a reflection on how in the works by Hryhir Tiutiunnyk, killed by the totalitarian system in 1980, the well-known dominants of “love and pain” are deepened by irony, in all the immensity of its shades and meanings. The writer did not use any words from the political lexicon but instead unmasked the totalitarian system by depicting (mostly through apt expressions and details) the behavior and destinies of people oppressed or destroyed by it. His irony is mild, lenient, or even somewhat sympathetic. In the stories reviewed in the paper, namely “Screw”, “Niura”, “The Feast in Memory of Markiian”, “The Son Has Arrived”, the mentioned nuances of the means of irony are used in rather complex, sometimes weird combinations (“The Literate”, “Laughter”), revealing the ardent indifference of the author who tried (sometimes successfully) to pretend to be an outsider – an unworried or even superior narrator. In such works as “The Feast in Memory of Markiian” and “Medal”, the death itself or its obvious approach causes the appearance of tragicomic elements. However, in the latter, the tragic irony is not related to the character, but to the props of the stage action, in which the people resembling mannequins represent the village and district authorities and pretend to award a starving man as “the best animal breeder”.

Some of Hryhir Tiutiunnyk’s characters, as in the short story “Oddity” and the story “My Saturday”, rise to a sarcastic mockery of oppressors: the specificity of the Soviet-communist officials lies in the fact that they don’t even realize the absurdity of their activities, which lack any humanistic principles. The literary world of the writer, despite its seeming simplicity, is extremely complex in terms of inner subtleties of thoughts, emotions, and conflicts.
INTERMEDIAL RECODING OF GEO SHKURUPII'S WORKS IN THE VIDEO PERFORMANCES AT THE SEMINAR OF CREATIVE YOUTHS 2020
Authors: Gladun Daryna
Published: December 2021

The paper focuses on poetry-based video performances conducted by the participants of the “Creative Youths Seminar” (CYS), which was founded in 1995. Adaptability is one of the most essential features of all seminar clusters. It leads to constant transformations in a general program and within poetry performance laboratory (existing as a part of CYS since 2015) in particular, due to socio-cultural and political context. In 2020, because of the quarantine restrictions, CYS for the first time changed its regular face-to-face form to a remoteone and took place online. Live performance cluster transformed into a three-day marathon of video performances. During that time 24 participants made over 70 video performances that lasted for more than 100 minutes in total (there was a record number in every category of a CYS performance cluster). Nearly half of the performances were poetry-based. Almost a third part was based on the poems by Ukrainian Futurist writers Oleksa Vlyzko, Mykhail Semenko, Oleksa Slisarenko, Andrii Chuzhyi, Geo Shkurupii, and Yulian Shpol. The article analyzes five poetry-based video performances that refer to the poems by Geo Shkurupii as pretexts: “A Talk with a Future Self ” by Yaroslav Boruta, “I Want to Be a Furniture” by Vladyslava Demianchuk (Dadi), “Oh Little Boy” by Natalia Matsybok-Starodub, “Czech Scotch Tape” by Iryna Pavlenko (Ira Pamiatai), and “The Future of Cherry Orchards” by Viktoriia Feshchuk. The pretexts, poetry performance texts (if any), and their intermedial connections with video performances have been examined.

The researcher concludes that poetry-based performances let the artists not only experience the text traditionally but also ‘live through the text’, or, in other words, create a personal physical experience of the pretext and offer the audience another perspective on the pretext with the help of non-literary media.

Reduction in self-weight and achievement of full fire resistance requirements are some of the important considerations in the design of high-rise structures. Lightweight concrete filled steel tube (CFST) column provides an alternative method to serve these purposes. Recent studies on lightweight CFST columns at ambient temperature have revealed that foamed concrete can be a beneficial and innovative alternative material. Hence, this study investigates the potential of using foamed concrete in circular hollow steel columns for improving fire resistance. A series of nine fire test on circular unfilled hollow and foamed concrete filled hollow section column were carried out. ISO 834 standard fire exposure test were carried out to investigate the structural response of these columns under fire. The main parameters considered are load level and foamed concrete density; foamed concrete density used are 1500 kg/m3 and 1800 kg/m3 at 15%, 20%, and 25% load level. All the columns tested are without any external fire protection, with concentrically applied load under fixed-fixed boundary conditions. The columns dimension was 2400 mm long, 139.7 mm diameter and steel tube thickness of 6 mm. The fire test result showed that foamed concrete increases the fire resistance of steel hollow column up to an additional 16 minutes. The improvement is more at load level above 15%, and the gain in fire resistance is about 71% when 1500 kg/m3 density foamed concrete is used. Generally, foamed concrete filled steel hollow column demonstrate a good structural fire behavior, based on the applied load and foamed concrete density. Also, inward local buckling was averted by filling the steel hollow column with foamed concrete. General method for composite column design in Eurocode 4 adopted to calculate the axial buckling load of 1500 kg/m3 foamed concrete filled columns.  These type of columns can be used for structures like airports, schools, and stadiums; taking the advantage of exposed steel for aesthetic purpose and high fire resistance. It can also be used for high rise structures; taking advantage of high fire resistance and reduction in self-weight of a structure.

Forage annual and perennial grasses are the difficult subject for molecular and genetic studies because of the problem with obtaining qualitative genomic DNA for PCR, due of high content of proteins, polysaccharides and polyphenols. The known methods of DNA extraction or the numerous commercial kits allow isolating purified nucleic acids from the leaf tissue, but characterized by low efficiency at seedlings using. The modified method of DNA isolation, based on the SDS-extraction buffer (sodium dodecil sulfate), is presented in this study. Significant modifications were introduced in the reagents compound and the steps of procedure accordingly to used type of plant tissue and the result was positive at usage on the bulking samples, as well as on the individual genotypes (the only seedling). Reliability of this method and the functionality of the obtained DNA samples were tested in PCR with different molecular markers (SSR, SRAP and PawS) in researches on revealing of forage legume grasses DNA polymorphism. The general advantages of the proposed method are simplicity and effectiveness, the possibility to isolate qualitative DNA without toxic reagents application, as well as relatively low cost and availability of reagents. This method can be useful for studying the genetic biodiversity and for decision the different tasks, required the rapid analysis of large plant populations.
WHITE LUPINE IN FULL-COMPLETE FEEDS
Authors: Gaponov Nikolay
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the current problem of providing rations with a source of protein with a high biological value. Such a source is suggested to be white lupine and products of its processing. Since, white lupine exceeds the protein content of peas, vetch and other legumes by more than 10%. And the significant content of fat in its composition allows, when using it, to reduce or completely abandon the use of sunflower oil in the diet. This favorably distinguishes white lupine from soybean and sunflower meal and cake, as well as partially animal feed, which are currently used as the main sources of fodder protein. This statement is confirmed in our experiments. As a result, it was found that the use of white lupine in the structures of complete feeds can improve the nutritional value of rations. It has a positive effect on the increase in live weight in animals with the inclusion of native white lupine in the structure of the diet in an amount of 10% to 33%, respectively, with a content of lupine in the diet of 20%, the increase in live weight is 95% higher. Provides a decrease in the cost of the resulting complete feed, when lupine is included in its structure in an amount of 10% by 4.35% and with a lupine content of 20%, the cost of 1 kg of compound feed is reduced by 14.49%. The use of white lupine allowed the experimental animals to use the food efficiently. The lowest costs were observed in the 3 test group. Energy costs were lower by 48.80%, crude protein by 47.22% and digestible protein by 51.3%. In the 2 experimental groups, the costs of metabolic energy, crude protein and digestible protein were lower by 25.00%, 26.38% and 39.20, respectively. Thus, the inclusion of white lupine in the structure of the diet helps to improve the nutritional value of rations, to reduce the cost of nutrients and feed, improving the economic indicators of the maintenance of animals.

Currently available diagnostic procedures for infections are laborious and time-consuming, resulting in a substantial financial burden by increasing morbidity, increased costs of hospitalization, and mortality. Therefore, innovative approaches to design diagnostic biomarkers are imperative to assist in the rapid and sensitive diagnosis of microbial infections. Acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) are ubiquitous bacterial signaling molecules that are found to be significantly upregulated in infected sites. In this pioneering work, we have developed a simple photoluminescence-based assay using cysteamine-capped titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles for AHL detection. The PL intensity variation of the oxygen defect state of TiO2 was used for the biosensing measurements. The bioassays were validated using two well-studied AHL molecules (C4-HSL and 3-oxo-C12 HSL) of an important human pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The developed system has a maximum relative response of 98%. Furthermore, the efficacy of the system in simulated host urine using an artificial urine medium showed a linear detection range of 10–160 nM. Also, we confirmed the relative response and specificity of the system in detecting AHLs produced by P. aeruginosa in a temporal manner.

Published: December 2021

The purpose of the present study is to grasp the situation of construction sites easily by distinguishing the movements of construction workers at construction sites from the accelerometer data attached to their waists. For the construction manager to accurately perceive the active or inactive state of his workers, their movements were classified into three distinct categories: walking, standing, and sitting. We tracked and observed two rebar workers for 5 days at a large building construction site. Their movements were classified by two-axis plots of (1) the difference between the maximum and minimum absolute values and (2) the value of acceleration at each second, and visualized by a heatmap among others for this trial. The results showed that despite the difficulty in distinguishing rebar work without a total body movement while sitting, the accuracy of discrimination was 60–80% in walking and sitting. From this analysis, we were able to identify repetitive tasks and the differences between morning and afternoon tasks. Furthermore, by applying simple visualization, we could concisely represent changes in work intensity over a relatively long period.

Eleven new cyclohexane-type meroterpenoids (1, 3–5, 7, 8, 11–15) and four known similar meroterpenoids (2, 6, 9, and 10) were isolated from Ganoderma cochlear. Their structures and absolute configurations at stereogenic centers were elucidated by using HRESIMS, NMR spectroscopy and computational methods. In addition, the structure of the known meroterpenoid, cochlearol G (2), was revised, and the absolute configurations at the stereogenic centers of known meroterpenoids 9 and 10 were determined. All the isolated meroterpenoids were evaluated for their activities against renal fibrosis and triple negative breast cancer, and their insulin resistance. The results of the renal fibrosis study showed that meroterpenoid 11 inhibits over-expression of fibronectin, collagen I and α-SMA. Results of the wound healing study revealed that 4, 6 and 8 significantly inhibit migration of BT549 cells. Observations made in Western blotting experiments showed that 6 decreases the levels of TWIST1 and ZEB1, and increases the level of E-cadherin. Finally, meroterpenoids 7, 9, 11, and 15 significantly up-regulate p-AMPK protein expression in normal L6 myotubes cells.
