A tradução parafrástica dos Amores, de Ovídio, por António Feliciano de Castilho (1858)
Authors: Duarte Giovani
Published: March 2023

Em nossa pesquisa, objetiva-se analisar, a partir do cotejo de concepções clássicas e modernas acerca de gêneros como a lírica e a elegia, de que modo a tradução parafrástica da obra Amores, de Ovídio, elaborada por António Feliciano de Castilho em 1858, privilegia a língua de chegada, o Português, e despreza os critérios tradicionais que pautavam, na Antiguidade, o gênero elegíaco, visto que o tradutor lança mão de variações diversas referentes ao tom e à métrica ao longo da obra. O trabalho não se pretende meramente comparativo, ou seja, cotejar ingenuamente o original e seu correspondente em língua vernácula, com vistas a demonstrar as diferenças entre um texto e outro, mas, sim, quer sob a luz dos critérios tradutológicos explicitados no prefácio da obra pelo erudito português, quer mediante noções antigas dessas formas poéticas, perceber a relação agonística e emulativa travada entre o poema ovidiano e a nova fatura portuguesa.
Leitura e gramática na aula de Língua Portuguesa: considerações sobre dissociação cronotópica escola-aluno
Authors: Catoia Dias Sabatha
Published: March 2023

Este artigo tematiza leitura e consiste em recorte de pesquisa que tem como objetivo compreender o espaço para ensino e aprendizagem que tomem a leitura como encontro em se tratando do trabalho docente de Português em uma escola específica, considerando o uso do livro didático e, em não havendo tal espaço, compreender o que se coloca em seu lugar. Os dados foram gerados por meio de entrevistas e rodas de conversas realizadas com duas professoras e sete alunos, além de pesquisa documental e observação de aulas em duas classes. O aporte teórico ancora-se em teorizações vigotskianas, bakhtinianas e dos estudos do letramento. Infere-se estarem a aula de Língua Portuguesa, em sentido amplo, e a leitura, em sentido estrito, em uma ecologia a requerer novas ingrediências para o encontro de palavras, haja vista enfoque no ensino de gramática taxionômica e normativa, o que caracteriza dissociação cronotópica entre escola e aluno.
O possessivo de 2a pessoa em PB dialetal
Authors: Karla Pereira Bruna
Published: March 2023

Resumo: Em português padrão, assim como em outras línguas românicas, os pronomes possessivos carregam traços não interpretáveis de número, que são valorados via concordância nominal. No entanto, certos dialetos do português do Brasil (PB) mostram que o possessivo de 2ª pessoa, principalmente em posição posposta, não concorda em número com o nome. Por exemplo, no dialeto mineiro, um N no singular pode coocorrer com possessivo no plural, que se refere a 2ª pessoa do plural (‘de vocês’). Do mesmo modo, um N no plural pode coocorrer com possessivo no singular, que se refere a 2ª pessoa do singular. Para explicar esses fatos, argumentarei que, nessa gramática, os traços de número no possessivo de 2ª pessoa são (i) traços da pessoa e não do nome e são (ii) valorados; por isso, não se desencadeia concordância nominal em número no possessivo. Além disso, seguindo Danon (2011) e Norris (2014), argumentarei que, pelo fato de o possessivo prenominal estar antes do cardinal (NumP), ele é obrigatoriamente marcado com o morfema de plural, enquanto o possessivo pós-nominal não tem esta marca. Livre da marca morfológica de concordância nominal, o possessivo pós-nominal de 2ª pessoa favorece a reanálise do ‘-s’ como indicador do número da pessoa.Palavras-chave: Possessivos de 2ª pessoa. Traços- φ. NumP. Cardinais. Morfema de plural.
Aquisição da linguagem sob a perspectiva das inteligências múltiplas e da modularidade da mente
Authors: Lima da Hora Livia Carneiro , Assêncio Costa Natalina Sierra , Gomes Nataniel dos Santos
Published: March 2023

O presente artigo busca analisar um fragmento da teoria das múltiplas inteligências, do psicólogo americano Gardner (1983), em que são descritas habilidades específicas em diversos campos da mente humana. Suas pesquisas apontam inicialmente a existência de sete tipos de inteligência, sendo elas a linguística, interpessoal, intrapessoal, lógico-matemática, musical, espacial e corporal-cinestésica. Neste trabalho, será atribuído maior destaque à primeira, pois é a que está mais ligada à aquisição da linguagem, tema que será investigado, buscando comparar as contribuições da tese de Gardner nesse processo, aliada às ideias do linguista Chomsky (1977) em sua visão da modularidade da mente, na qual a apresenta como um sistema dividido em faculdades mentais distintas e independentes. Assim, é importante analisar os mecanismos utilizados pelo cérebro para desenvolver a inteligência linguística e/ou a faculdade da linguagem, propostas pelos teóricos, a fim de compreender o caminho percorrido pela mente na aprendizagem de línguas.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar as etapas de elaboração de um curso de extensão e seus possíveis benefícios para graduandos e profissionais da área de educação que lidam com alunos surdos. O curso foi ministrado na Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro e teve como objetivo principal a instrumentalização de professores, de forma a muni-los com informações pertinentes aos aspectos linguísticos e culturais da comunidade surda, buscando refletir sobre como a experiência visual associada a elementos que reafirmem a identidade surda, podem auxiliar, em especial, no processo de ensino-aprendizagem da Língua Portuguesa como segunda língua.
A Educação Continuada e a Prática Pedagógica nas Representações de uma Professora de Inglês
Authors: Giarola Castro Natália Mariloli Santos , Neves Maralice de Souza
Published: March 2023

A Linguística Aplicada possibilita uma interrelação com outras áreas do saber pautadas nos usos sociais da linguagem (PENNYCOOK, 2006; SZUNDY e NICOLAIDES, 2013). Por isso, este estudo aborda questões da LA buscando interpretações de dizeres a partir da Análise do Discurso atravessada pela Psicanálise, visto que o sujeito é múltiplo, afetado pela linguagem e vive em busca de uma completude que lhe falta (CORACINI, 2003; LACAN, [1966]1998). Neste artigo, objetivamos compreender as representações de uma professora de inglês sobre sua prática pedagógica e a educação continuada (EC), observando possíveis deslocamentos identitários. Percebemos nos discursos da docente traços do discurso pedagógico contemporâneo, além da EC ser representada como um espaço para aprender novas metodologias de ensino e compartilhar experiências. Este trabalho pode contribuir para problematizar a formação de professores, pois discutimos questões que podem levar os educadores a refletir sobre si como professores de língua estrangeira em permanente (re)constituição subjetiva.
Crenças dos pais, crenças dos filhos: o rural, o urbano e o preconceito linguístico
Authors: Coelho Maria do Socorro Vieira , Soares Gilvan Mateus
Published: March 2023

Como uma das questões fundadoras da Sociolinguística, o estudo das crenças, das avaliações e das atitudes tem se tornado foco de interesse de diversas pesquisas que enfatizam a relevância de se discutirem os fatores intervenientes no surgimento de percepções que geram preconceitos e reações negativas sobre as variedades linguísticas e seus falantes. Com base nessas assertivas, objetivou-se, neste trabalho, discutir como alunos do Ensino Fundamental II, de escola pública em Minas Gerais, e seus responsáveis se percebem como usuários da língua portuguesa. Para tanto, a pesquisa se orientou pelos pressupostos da Sociolinguística Educacional, no entendimento de que a língua varia por influência de fatores internos e externos, considerando-se como categorias o informante, a classe social, o espaço geográfico, a situação de comunicação, o grau de formalidade, a fala ou a escrita. Aplicaram-se questionários, avaliaram-se percepções linguísticas de alunos e procedeu-se à sua correlação com as dos seus responsáveis, tendo em mente a origem do informante (o campo ou o ambiente urbano) e a relação entre a percepção do responsável e a do aluno/filho sobre a língua. Concluiu-se da pesquisa que as crenças dos responsáveis (pais/família) influenciam diretamente as percepções dos alunos/filhos em relação à língua que usam cotidianamente. Baseado no exposto anteriormente, este estudo sugere uma proposta de intervenção pedagógica destinada a um melhor ensino do Português.
River Culture: Living with the River, Loving the River, Taking Care of the River
Authors: Wantzen Karl M.
Published: March 2023

An unbelievably small portion of the water available on planet Earth, just 0.00015 per cent of it, runs in rivers (Garcia-Moreno et al. 2014). And yet, this is the most important water source, not only for humans, but also for animals, plants and entire ecosystems on all continents. The natural flow regime of rivers, including periods of floods and low flows, has set the pace for cultural activities and biological evolution since the earliest days. But, in assuming that water is a resource that can be exploited without limits, humanity and global life support systems are running into an existential crisis, recently worsened by climate change. This article presents the book publication River Culture – Life as a Dance to the Rhythm of the Waters, which bears the name of a scientific concept that offers a way out of this crisis. Its innovative approach combines adaptive strategies developed by non-human biota with cultural practices resulting from human-nature interactions. The goal is to develop sustainable management options for river catchments (Wantzen 2022, 2023).

PENGARUH TERAPI RELAKSASI OTOT PROGRESIF TERHADAP KETIDAKSTABILAN KADAR GLUKOSA DARAH PADA PASIEN DIABETES MELITUS TIPE II
Authors: Ferry  , Wijonarko
Published: March 2023

Diabetes merupakan pemyakit kronis yang terjadi ketika pankreas tidak dapat menghasilkan insulin secara cukup. Insulin adalah hormon yang mengatur glukosa darah. Diabetes merupakan suatu keadaan ketika tubuh tidak menggunakan insulin yang telah dihasilkan. Efek dari diabetes yang tidak terkontrol dapat menyebabkan kerusakan serius pada jantung, pembuluh darah, mata, ginjal, dan saraf. Relaksasi otot progresif dapat dilakukan oleh semua orang dalam berbagai kondisi. Relaksasi diketahui dapat membantu menurunkan kadar glukosa darah pada pasien diabetes mellitus karena dapat menekan pengeluaran hormon hormon yang dapat meningkatkan kadar glukosa darah, yaitu epinefrin, kortisol, glukagon, adre nocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), kortikosteroid, dan tiroid. Penurunan hormon kortisol akan menghambat proses glukoneogenesis dan meningkatkan pemakaian glukosa. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi literature riview, dengan kriteria literature riview Relaksasi Otot Progresif, Ketidakstabilan Kadar Glukosa Darah, Diabetes Melitus. Hasil dari 5 jurnal menunjukkan bahwa terdapat Pengaruh terapi relaksasi otot progresif terhadap ketidakstabilan kadar glukosa darah pada pasien diabetes mellitus dengan hasil p-value rata-rata <0,05. Terapi yang dapat dilakukan pada pasien DM tipe 2 yaitu terapi relaksasi otot progresif yang merupakan salah satu bentuk mind-body therapy (terapi pikiran dan otot-otot tubuh) dalam terapi komplementer. Relaksasi otot progresif ini mengarahkan perhatian pasien untuk membedakan perasaan yang dialami saat kelompok otot dilemaskan.
SOSIALISASI DAN EDUKASI PENTINGNYA PENGETAHUAN KESEHATAN TENTANG DIARE PADA ANAK DAN DEWASA DI WILAYAH TANJUNG GADING KOTA BANDAR LAMPUNG
Authors: Arianti Mery , Jaya Hendra
Published: March 2023

Diare sampai saat ini masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat, walaupun secara umum angka kesakitan masih berfluktuasi dan masih sering menimbulkan kejadian luar biasa yang cukup banyak bahkan menimbulkan kematian. Angka kejadian diare pada balita di Kota Bandar Lampung tahun 2016 sebanyak 6855 balita. Penyakit diare sering dijumpai pada anak, meskipun begitu diare juga dapat terjadi pada usia dewasa. Salah satu faktor resiko terjadinya diare adalah keracunan makanan. Keracunan makanan disebabkan karena mengkonsumsi makanan yang tidak terjamin kebersihannya. Faktor lain dari sanitasi dasar dan perilaku hygiene perorangan merupakan faktor pemicu tetapi sekaligus juga dapat menjadi kunci utama pengendalian penyakit diare. Pengetahuan tentang pencegahan dan penatalaksanaan diare penting bagi orang tua untuk mengontrol kejadian diare pada anak-anak. Promosi kesehatan adalah salah satu cara untuk memajankan kembali pengetahuan untuk mencegah diare serta melakukan pertolongan agar diare tidak menimbulkan komplikasi atau kematian.
DIGITAL BOVARISM: ADVERTISING, RHETORIC, AND IDENTITY
Authors:   Politehnica University Timisoara, CIUREL Daniel
Published: March 2023

This paper aims to show how the consumers shape their identities via advertising rhetoric. The contemporary advertising industry is defining and cultivating customers identity, using tactics such as mental simulation and narrative transportation, based on data-driven social profiling. The consumers are lured in constructing the types of persona which marketers strive to establish, engaging in what I call digital bovarism: an idealized, glamorized and, ultimately, fictional representation of themselves, developed through alienating rhetorical visions. This rhetorical process can be understood using symbolic convergence theory and fantasy-theme analysis, as the individual’s efforts to be unique result in more similarity via mimetic practices of consumption.
THE SCOPE OF THE PROTECTION OF THE RIGHT OF A PRISONER ON HUNGER STRIKE TO LIFE AND THE EXPEDIENCY OF ARTIFICIAL (FORCED) FEEDING
Authors:   Caucasus International University, Batiashvili Irina
Published: March 2023

Treatment of people with the status of prisoners is one of the main challenges for the modern world. The artificial (forced) feeding of a prisoner during a hunger strike, an international practice, can be divided into four types of approaches. When force feeding, the European Court of Human Rights focuses on the factor of necessity, purpose and procedural guarantees. If artificial (forced) feeding fails to comply with procedural norms, it can result in severe and long-term mental and physical pain. This work presents the author’s vision of what changes should be made to the relevant normative act of Georgia in order to define exactly what medical aid means and at what stage of a prisoner’s hunger strike can medical aid be applied without the consent of a prisoner. From the analysis of international practice in several Western countries, important principles and standards can be seen by which the necessary measures of artificial (forced) feeding, forced treatment and forced medical examination are implemented. Also, in my view, the norms introduced by one of the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights may be well suited to the case where a prisoner is unconscious and has not previously stated his/her position on artificial feeding. From the moment of beginning a hunger strike by a prisoner, a government faces two options: either a prisoner dies of starvation, or a relevant authority intervenes in the starvation in the form of the artificial (forced) feeding of a prisoner. A question is being asked: is there any third option? When a situation reaches a critical level, a state must find a way to de-escalate it.
LIBERALISATION OF SENTENCES AND HUMANISATION OF CUSTODIAL SENTENCES IN GEORGIA
Authors:   Caucasus International University, Tsirkvadze Tamta
Published: March 2023

In the current process of EU integration, it has been not only desirable and appropriate but also necessary to regard the conceptual basics of the principles of democracy and to approximate them with international standards. This, in turn, entails the liberalisation of criminal legislation. Since 2004, the influence of authoritarianism and radicalism on the criminal legislation of Georgia had been evident, but it has changed since 2013 when the process of liberalisation of criminal policy was initiated. Although it has been nine years since the initiation of the process, there is still a lot more to be done for the improvement of criminal legislation, all the more so because the weakening of the liberalisation policy can be observed since 2015 due to the increase of certain serious criminality.
New Political Economy Strategy of China -- Belt and Road Initiative
Authors:   Istanbul Ticaret University, Chang Yunxin
Published: March 2023

This article aims to explain China's recent new political and economic strategy. As it involves more than 140 nations, China's 2013 "Belt and Road Initiative" (BRI) has garnered attention and debate. This paper examines BRI's economic effects and motives using developing evidence and a literature review. We concluded that China proposed the BRI in 2013 for several reasons, including capital accumulation, infrastructure export, market access, imbalanced growth resolution, energy supply assurance, and border stability. China's activities may also be explained by modern ideas like the economics of scale, technical gap, overlapped demand, and product life cycle. The BRI was simpler to propose in 2013 since the global economy was weak and needed a boost for global trade. Several models are used to predict BRI's economic effects. Due of BRI's lack of grounding. In the real world, foreign voices are both supportive and apprehensive, indicating that the BRI will confront many challenges. Debt and COVID-19 are two major challenges. Yet, possibilities and obstacles frequently go together. In the near future, international collaboration on advanced technologies, green economies, education, and other areas is expected to increase.
Les faux-semblants dans l’usage de la résilience. Étude des logiques de marché dans la production urbaine face aux inondations
Authors: Gralepois Mathilde
Published: March 2023

Face aux changements climatiques et à l’aggravation des risques d’inondation, le discours sur la résilience territoriale s’intensifie. Il montre pourtant de nombreuses limites opérationnelles. Les projets urbains tendent au final à gommer les différences des aménagements urbains exposés à l’inondation. Lors de la mise en oeuvre de la résilience, les contraintes sont négociées et rabaissées pour construire une opération au plus proche des conditions classiques. La production urbaine en zone inondable tient comptea minimade l’inondation. Basé sur le cadre d’analyse des ressources de politiques publiques, l’article parlera de « faux-semblants » pour souligner l’incompréhension de départ qui affiche l’inondation comme une contrainte insurmontable, constituée de règles paralysantes et de surcoûts assurés, alors que les opérations en zone inondable disposent d’atouts. Peu de recherches interrogent les intérêts dits « privés » dans le rapport de force, alors que la logique de marché de la production urbaine tendin fineà atténuer les particularités en zone inondable.
« Le singe hors de sa cage » : Mazurier-Jocko au théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin
Authors: Ramos-Gay Ignacio
Published: March 2023

Cet article se propose d’analyser l’interprétation de Charles-François Mazurier du primate protagoniste de la pièce Jocko, ou le singe du Brésil, de Gabriel Lurieu et Edmond Rochefort (1825), au théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin de Paris. À partir des chroniques de l’époque, nous entreprendrons l’étude de la transgression du « quatrième mur » que fit l’acteur par le biais de ses acrobaties : ce dernier agissait tel un singe en liberté, bondissant de l’avant-scène aux loges, se promenant à quatre pattes sur le balcon, interagissant directement avec son public, ou dérobant leurs objets personnels. Nous éluciderons donc la transformation sémiotique et symbolique de la salle qu’engendrent ces manoeuvres. Devenu une ménagerie improvisée, le théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin permit aux spectateurs d’entrer en contact avec un animal exotique incarné par un homme, dont le jeu rend compte des discours scientifiques et populaires du premier tiers du dix-neuvième siècle sur la nature sauvage des quadrumanes, et des tentatives de l’humain pour les maîtriser.
Étude exploratoire sur l’expérience de familles dont un membre est décédé en contexte d’aide médicale à mourir au Québec
Authors: Dumont Isabelle
Published: March 2023

Au Québec, l’accès en 2015 à l’aide médicale à mourir (AMM) grâce à l’entrée en vigueur de la Loi concernant les soins de fin de vie a introduit un nouveau paradigme en santé (Viens, 2017). L’AMM devient un événement incontournable dans la compréhension de l’expérience de la personne malade qui choisit d’y recourir et de celle de la famille qui l’accompagne, le cas échéant. À ce jour, rares sont les écrits québécois proposant une compréhension de l’expérience d’accompagnement et de deuil des familles qui ont accompagné un proche en fin de vie ayant reçu l’AMM. Cette étude exploratoire cherche à 1) décrire les répercussions de l’AMM sur l’expérience individuelle et familiale des membres de la famille ayant perdu un des leurs en contexte d’AMM, 2) préciser les éléments qui contribuent ou nuisent à leur adaptation au moment de la perte et à la suite du décès. Dans le cadre de cette étude qualitative, des entretiens semi-dirigés auprès de 20 proches ont été réalisés. Les connaissances ainsi obtenues peuvent contribuer au développement de stratégies d’intervention préventives visant à soutenir les proches qui vivent la perte d’un proche dans ce contexte particulier.
L’aide médicale à mourir a-t-elle protégé la santé mentale des personnes endeuillées pendant la pandémie de COVID-19 ?
Authors: Cherblanc Jacques , Côté Isabelle , Cadell Susan , Verdon Chantal , Grenier Josée , Simard Chantale , Wright David Kenneth , Bergeron-Leclerc Christiane
Published: March 2023

L’aide médicale à mourir (AMM) est légalement permise depuis 2015 au Québec et depuis 2016 ailleurs au Canada. Même dans les régions où la mort assistée est pratiquée depuis des décennies, peu d’attention a été portée aux personnes qui ont perdu un proche dans ces circonstances. On ne sait donc pas exactement quels effets peut avoir l’AMM sur le vécu du deuil des personnes concernées, et encore moins en situation de pandémie. À partir des données quantitatives et qualitatives du projet Covideuil, cet article entend éclairer plus précisément le vécu du deuil à la suite du décès par AMM d’un proche pendant la pandémie de COVID-19 au Canada. Il ressort de ces analyses que l’AMM ne semble pas être associée à une trajectoire de deuil distincte pendant la pandémie. Ce type de décès nécessite cependant que les intervenants sociosanitaires portent une attention particulière aux proches de la personne décédée, car leur accompagnement est moins systématisé que pour les soins palliatifs.
La grille transculturelle de la Clinique pédiatrique transculturelle de l’Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont comme outil d’évaluation
Authors: Chenouard Béatrice , Smith Catherine , Luong Tinh Nhan , Raphaël Frantz , Boyer Ariane
Published: March 2023

La diversité culturelle de la population montréalaise a amené les professionnels de la Clinique pédiatrique transculturelle de l’Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont à inscrire un outil de travail expérimenté depuis une vingtaine d’années dans leur méthodologie d’évaluation. L’élaboration de cette grille d’évaluation transculturelle s’appuie sur plusieurs fondements théoriques et méthodologiques de l’ethnopsychiatrie. Elle constitue un guide pour aider l’intervenant à identifier et à tenir compte des éléments du parcours migratoire et des impacts du changement dans les repères culturels. Elle permet aussi d’accorder une place au sens donné par l’usager à ses difficultés selon ses croyances, son point de vue personnel et culturel. La diffusion plus large de cette grille pourrait enrichir l’évaluation du fonctionnement social des travailleurs sociaux auprès des personnes issues de la diversité ethnoculturelle en accordant une plus grande place aux éléments culturels et migratoires.

Raconter les vies océanes : défis et dilemmes de l’écriture zoopoétique
Authors: Message Vincent
Published: March 2023

Cet article part de l’écriture en cours d’un roman. Prenant pour cadre le littoral breton, ce livre évoque l’océan comme un milieu vivant. Même si les humains, océanographes et plongeurs, occupent le premier plan, je souhaite y ménager une large place aux vivants autres qu’humains. Partant des exemples des fous de Bassan, des phoques gris et d’espèces planctoniques, je cherche à comprendre ce qui détermine leur représentation en tant que personnages du récit, actants des écosystèmes ou figurants de l’environnement choisi. En se demandant s’il faut respecter ou transcender les limites de notre connaissance des animaux, on verra que la zoopoétique nous en apprend autant sur la structuration de notre esprit et sur ce que nous attendons d’un récit que sur les vies animales elles-mêmes.
De la precariedad económica a la vulnerabilidad existencial. Notas para una ampliación de paradigma
Authors: Báez Melián Juan Miguel , Bergua Amores José Angel , Casas Cortés Maribel , Gracia Bernal Amparo , Moya Santander Laura
Published: March 2023

El artículo cuestiona la centralidad de la noción de «precariedad», con un fuerte contenido económico y ligado a las distintas versiones del estado de bienestar, para ofrecer el concepto de «vulnerabilidad», con un carácter existencial y vinculado al cuerpo, aún carente de la adecuada cobertura institucional. Para ello se realiza una crítica genealógica de las principales instituciones económicas siguiendo las sugerencias de Polanyi. Así mismo, se muestran las orientaciones y límites de las diferentes clases de políticas del bienestar. Finalmente, se propone el concepto de vulnerabilidad, muy ligado a la «economía de los cuidados», para llegar a una realidad que los conceptos clásicos no contemplan ni atienden, pero que es cada vez más importante en el debate contemporáneo sobre las políticas públicas y sociales.
Ion permeation pathway within the internal pore of P2X receptor channels
Authors: Tam Stephanie W , Huffer Kate , Li Mufeng , Swartz Kenton J
Published: March 2023

P2X receptor channels are trimeric ATP-activated ion channels expressed in neuronal and non-neuronal cells that are attractive therapeutic targets for human disorders. Seven subtypes of P2X receptor channels have been identified in mammals that can form both homomeric and heteromeric channels. P2X1–4 and P2X7 receptor channels are cation-selective, whereas P2X5 has been reported to have both cation and anion permeability. P2X receptor channel structures reveal that each subunit is comprised of two transmembrane helices, with both N-and C-termini on the intracellular side of the membrane and a large extracellular domain that contains the ATP binding sites at subunit interfaces. Recent structures of ATP-bound P2X receptors with the activation gate open reveal the unanticipated presence of a cytoplasmic cap over the central ion permeation pathway, leaving lateral fenestrations that may be largely buried within the membrane as potential pathways for ions to permeate the intracellular end of the pore. In the present study, we identify a critical residue within the intracellular lateral fenestrations that is readily accessible to thiol-reactive compounds from both sides of the membrane and where substitutions influence the relative permeability of the channel to cations and anions. Taken together, our results demonstrate that ions can enter or exit the internal pore through lateral fenestrations that play a critical role in determining the ion selectivity of P2X receptor channels.
Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of diacylglycerol acyltransferase genes in soybean (Glycine max)
Authors: Zhao Shihui , Yan Fan , Liu Yajing , Sun Monan , Wang Ying , Li Jingwen , Zhang Xinsheng , Yang Xuguang , Wang Qingyu
Published: March 2023

Background

Soybean (Glycine max) is a major protein and vegetable oil source. In plants, diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) can exert strong flux control, which is rate-limiting for triacylglycerol biosynthesis in seed oil formation.

Methods

Here, we identified soybean DGAT genes via a bioinformatics method, thereby laying a solid foundation for further research on their function. Based on our bioinformatics analyses, including gene structure, protein domain characteristics, and phylogenetic analysis, 26 DGAT putative gene family members unevenly distributed on 12 of the 20 soybean chromosomes were identified and divided into the following four groups: DGAT1, DGAT2, WS/DGAT, and cytoplasmic DGAT.

Results

The Ka/Ks ratio of most of these genes indicated a significant positive selection pressure. DGAT genes exhibited characteristic expression patterns in soybean tissues. The differences in the structure and expression of soybean DGAT genes revealed the diversity of their functions and the complexity of soybean fatty acid metabolism. Our findings provide important information for research on the fatty acid metabolism pathway in soybean. Furthermore, our results will help identify candidate genes for potential fatty acid-profile modifications to improve soybean seed oil content.

Conclusions

This is the first time that in silico studies have been used to report the genomic and proteomic characteristics of DGAT in soybean and the effect of its specific expression on organs, age, and stages.

The average particles size of the formed AgNPs, CuONPs, and Ag-CuO nanocomposite was 25, 28, and 30 nm, respectively with zeta potential values −31.7 ± 0.6 mV, −17.6 ± 4.2 mV, and −22.9 ± 4.45 mV. The microscopic investigation of biosynthesized nanomaterials revealed a spherical morphological shape with average crystallite sizes of 17.56 nm (AgNPs), 18.21 nm (CuONPs), and 25.46 nm (PVP-Ag-CuO nanocomposite). The antiprotozoal potential of green synthesized nanomaterials was examined againstLeishmania amazonensisandTrypanosoma cruziparasites. The polymeric PVP-Ag-CuO nanocomposite exerted the highest antiprotozoal effect with IC50values of 17.32 ± 1.5 and 17.48 ± 4.2 µM, in contrast to AgNPs and CuONPs. The anticancer potential of AgNPs, CuONPs, and polymeric PVP-Ag-CuO nanocomposite against HepG2 cancer cell lines revealed that all the nanomaterials were effective and the highest anticancer potential was displayed by PVP-Ag-CuO nanocomposite with IC50values 91.34 µg mL−1at 200 µg mL−1concentration. Additionally, PVP-Ag-CuO nanocomposite showed strong photocatalytic effect.

Conclusion

Overall, this study suggested that the biogenic synthesized nanomaterials AgNPs, CuONPs, and polymeric PVP-Ag-CuO nanocomposite using ethanol extract of seaweedL. dendroideapossesses promising antiprotozoal anticancer and photocatalytic effect and could be further exploited for the development of antiprotozoal and anticancer therapeutics agents.

Grevillea manglesii (Proteaceae: Grevilleoideae: Hakeinae) revisited
Authors: Olde Peter Maurice
Published: March 2023

The correct citation for Grevillea manglesii (Proteaceae) is G. manglesii Pépin (1838). A neotype is here selected from among historic collections, now at Paris (P). Should the minimal description provided by Pépin be successfully challenged as inadequate, the name would not change but the revised authority would be Grevillea manglesii (Graham) A.Baumann and N.Baumann (1843). The origins and complex taxonomic and horticultural history of G. manglesii and its synonyms Manglesia glabrata Lindl., Anadenia manglesii Graham, Grevillea manglesii Hort., Manglesia trilobata Hort. ex Ettingsh., and Manglesia cuneata Endl. are outlined and discussed, together with new insights discerned from James Mangles’ unpublished Letter Books. The important role of Captain James Mangles R.N. to the botany and horticulture of Grevillea manglesii is reviewed and historical errors are corrected. Manglesia glabrata Lindl. is lectotypified. G. ornithopoda Meisn. is reinstated at specific rank and G. dissectifolia (McGill.) Olde is published as a new combination. Both are phenetically diagnosable without intergrades and occur in discrete populations that sometimes overlap the distribution of related species.

Published: March 2023

Vaccinium sulawesiense Mustaqim & P.W.Fritsch, a newly discovered endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia, is described. This species is similar to V. simulans Sleumer but differs in having an acuminate leaf apex, larger floral organs, and an absence of trichomes in the upper half of the inner surface of corolla and disk. This species is known from the two specimens, one from a mid-montane rain forest in Mamasa Regency, Sulawesi Barat Province and the another from Poso Regency, Sulawesi Tengah Province. An updated list of the 17 known Vaccinium species in Sulawesi is also provided.
Machaerina ascendens (Cyperaceae), a rare new species from the far south-west of Western Australia, and a new combination for Schoenus abbreviatus Nees
Authors: Barrett Russell L , Wilson Karen L
Published: March 2023

We here describe Machaerina ascendens R.L.Barrett & K.L.Wilson as a new species from swamps within forests in the far south-west of Western Australia. The new species is readily identifiable by its scrambling habit and compressed, multi-noded culms, features which separate it from all other Australian species. The clearly distichous glumes, few hypogynous scales fused at the base into a ring and prominently stipitate nutlets are also unusual features in Machaerina Vahl. Machaerina ascendens is highly range-restricted by its specific habitat and appears to qualify for listing as Endangered. Study of all names applicable to the current concept of Machaerina revealed an earlier name for the eastern Australian species Machaerina nuda (Steud.) J.Kern, and a new combination is provided here for Schoenus abbreviatus Nees as Machaerina abbreviata (Nees) R.L.Barrett & K.L.Wilson.
Recircumscription of Utricularia leptorhyncha and U. lasiocaulis and three related new species for northern Australia
Authors: Jobson Richard W , Baleeiro Paulo
Published: March 2023

The Utricularia lasiocaulis F.Muell. complex (subg. Polypompholyx; sect. Lasiocaules) is a morphologically and ecologically variable group of closely related taxa with a mostly tropical distribution across northern Australia. A recent molecular phylogenetic study placed the recognised species U. kamienskii F.Muell. sister to a clade of accessions relegated to either U. leptorhyncha O. Schwarz or U. lasiocaulis, with the latter previously circumscribed as an assemblage of highly variable morphological forms. We have expanded the previous study to include populations representing the known distributions of all three species and have attempted to include all morphological variants; 55 ingroup accessions were used in the full phylogenetic analysis based on two non-coding chloroplast regions (rps16, trnD–T) and the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS). We found that the pink corolla form of the usually white flowered U. kamienskii is not sufficiently different, and we retain it under that species. We also found strong support for a paraphyletic U. leptorhyncha, with the smaller flowered accessions matching the type material placed sister to all other U. lasiocaulis forms, including a grouping previously assigned as a larger flowered U. leptorhyncha. Within the U. lasiocaulis clade we found that much of the variation sorts into well-supported clades that we find are sufficiently morphologically and genetically differentiated from the type clade for recognition at the specific rank, namely Utricularia brennanii R.W.Jobson & Baleeiro from Northern Territory and Queensland, Utricularia cowiei R.W.Jobson & Baleeiro from the Kimberley region of Western Australia, and U. disjuncta R.W.Jobson & Baleeiro restricted to the Darwin and Gulf region of the Northern Territory.

21st Century Skills and Its Applicability to Social Studies
Authors: Oluwagbohunmi M. F. , Alonge R. A.
Published: March 2023

Students’ learning should be connected to life after school. They need to acquire skills that enhance analytic reasoning and complex problem solving. This is divergent from the content/knowledge-based traditional academic skill. 21st Century skills are competencies students need to possess to be able to prepare for workforce, lifetime learning and key into global economy. The 21st Century skills are Knowledge (need to consider the significance and applicability of what is taught), Skills (need to develop the ‘4Cs’-creativity, critical thinking, communication, collaboration for absorbing knowledge and work performance) and Character (need to teach character traits such as performance–related traits-adaptability, persistence, resilience as well as moral-related traits-integrity, justice, empathy, ethics). Social Studies as a multidisciplinary discipline has knowledge, skill and character development as its core objectives with flexible curriculum that is easily receptive to integration of new ideas and emerging areas of knowledge. It is important to make learning of social studies life relevant and equip students with practical skills necessary to make them thrive in a world where change is a constant phenomenon. This paper therefore examined 21st century skills and its relevance to Social Studies. It stressed the significance of adequate preparation of students for jobs by merging knowledge with skills to ensure competence, effective and pragmatic utilisation of social technologies (social software and communication capabilities) so that they can compete favourably with their counterparts in other disciplines in employment market. The paper concluded that there is need for 21st century skills to be integrated into the teaching and learning of Social Studies to make it relevant to the current digital society, to make skill development job oriented and to help students develop capability to process and use information effectively.

Authors: Prasad Suday , Nath Paras , Chaudhary D. N.
Published: March 2023

Introduction: The river Koshi is one of the major tributary of river Ganga, which originated from the northern slopes of the Himalayas and flows southwards through north Bihar with draining of the Ganga basin near Kursela, in District Katihar, eastern Bihar.

Objectives: Diversity and abundance of freshwater prawns were studied from January 2020 to December 2022 in the Koshi river of district Katihar eastern Bihar, India.

Methodology: The prawn was collected from the bank of Koshi river with the support of fishermen at Kursela in Katihar district, eastern Bihar and preserved in 5% formalin for further study.

Results: Koshi river is also known as Saptakoshi for its seven upper tributaries, that transports a large amount of nutrient and perhaps encourages species prosperity both culturally and individually. The efficiency of water is significant and therefore the freshwater prawns are divers. Prawn is a very important foodstuff in developing countries, due to high protein content and its other nutrition values. In present study we identified & reports commercially and physically important total four species of prawn belonging to Macrobrachium genius in the river Koshi around Kursela, in Katihar district eastern Bihar. They are namely Macrobrachium gangeticum, M. gandaki, M. tiwari and M. lamarrei. The composition of prawn species among which M. lamarrei and           M. tiwari were dominant species throughout the year. Whereas the catch of M. gangeticum and     M. gandaki were restricted during June to September.

Conclusion: The current investigation important to the presence of commercially important and environmentally sustainable inhabitants available in the river Koshi, Kursela Katihar, eastern Bihar. The suggests to needs appropriate management and conservation strategies to prevent the further loss of populations from this site. The details of data collected are in the flesh in this communication.
