As duas alternativas da pesquisa em espiritualidade e saúde
Authors: Coelho Humberto Schubert
Published: December 2022

Na medida em que o termo espiritualidade é em si mesmo ambíguo, o desafio específico da pesquisa em espiritualidade e saúde enquanto campo é definir de que maneiras o conceito ‘espiritualidade’ pode ser frutiferamente aplicado à saúde física e mental. Uma vez que a relatividade hermenêutica de um conceito humanístico tem de se relacionar com os resultados mensuráveis das ciências empíricas, algumas dificuldades inevitavelmente surgem. Isso não impediu, contudo, a formação de duas abordagens claramente definidas na pesquisa em espiritualidade e saúde; uma a que poderíamos chamar hermenêutica-existencial e a outa mais relacionada às ciências da natureza. Por falharmos em distinguir essas opções, muitas das interações entre a ciência da religião ou os estudos da religião e a pesquisa em espiritualidade e saúde é prejudicada ao ponto da quase ausência de diálogo. Nosso intuito aqui é apresentar e conceituar as duas alternativas nos termos das ciências humanas.

Sucrose and bovine serum albumin in association with dimethylformamide improved sperm parameters of frozen stallion semen
Authors: Kurpita Madeline , Len Jose
Published: December 2022

Postthaw stallion sperm integrity was determined after freezing semen in an extender supplemented with several sucrose concentrations, bovine serum albumin (BSA), and with and without dimethylformamide (DMF). Two ejaculates from 6 stallions (n =12) were diluted and aliquots (n = 7) were made for treatment groups (25 mM sucrose + BSA [S25], S25 + DMF [S25DMF], 50 mM sucrose + BSA [S50], S50 + DMF [S50DMF], 100 mM sucrose + BSA [S100], S100 + DMF [S100DMF], and Control (only DMF). Semen was frozen in a computer-controlled freezer. Sperm postthaw motility (total and progressive) and kinetics were assessed using CASA. Postthaw sperm plasma membrane and acrosomal integrity were evaluated using SYBR-14/PI and FITC-PNA, respectively. Sperm motility was higher in S100DMF and S50DMF. Plasma membrane integrity was higher in S100DMF, S50DMF, and S100. As sucrose concentration increased, plasma membrane integrity increased. Treatment groups with sucrose and BSA, regardless of DMF, had higher acrosome integrity than Control. Sucrose and BSA in association with DMF in a freezing extender protected sperm integrity during freezing and thawing.

Numerical Water Impacts of 2D Hull Forms using Dynamic Overset Meshing
Authors: Pearson Connor A. , Allen Tom D. , Battley Mark A.
Published: December 2022

The phenomenon of slamming is often the critical design load for high-performance marine craft. Slamming involves the solid-fluid impact of a hull structure, resulting in large forces acting on the structure from the large volume of water displaced in a very short time frame. Due to its importance in the design and operation of marine craft, the impact of ship forms into water has been the focus of a significant body of literature. These studies have primarily focused on rigid shapes, so the effects of hydroelasticity have not been examined in detail. This paper presents a robust and practical methodology for simulating water impacts involving overset meshing and the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method using the Ansys Fluent 2021 R1 Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solver. The framework involves a high resolution dynamic overset mesh attached to the body in a coarse static Cartesian background mesh. Results for a simple 2D wedge impact are compared to experimental and analytical results and a good agreement to the validation material is observed. A 2D transverse section based on the IMOCA60 racing yacht Banque Populaire VIII is then analysed to obtain impact force and pressures. Results capture the peaked pressure distributions characteristic of slamming, with possible effects of air entrapment. The methodology presented is applicable for designers of high-performance sailing craft to improve the prediction of hydrodynamic loading on their hull-form designs. The overset method can quickly and easily be applied to a number of different geometries and impact events with minor changes between models.
Filón de Alejandría y la comunidad terapéutica del lago Mareótide
Authors: Cardoso Bueno Diego Andrés
Published: December 2022

Filón en su tratado De vita contemplativa describe una comunidad ascética judía de hombres y mujeres, los terapeutas, que viven en retiro voluntariamente a las afueras de la ciudad de Alejandría, dedicados al estudio, la exégesis de antiguos textos sagrados y a la composición de escritos, himnos y cantos consagrados a Dios. Se trata de una congregación claramente representativa del género de vida contemplativo y espiritual. El filósofo, que residía en la capital del delta, los conoció bien y llegó a admirarlos en muchos aspectos, algo que queda patente en su citado escrito; sin embargo, en otras obras suyas deja traslucir una cierta precaución ante algunos comportamientos habituales en los terapeutas que, por una parte, implicaban un excesivo alejamiento de la realidad humana que les rodeaba y, por otra, denotaban una exagerada interpretación alegórica de los libros sagrados en sus indagaciones exegéticas, que los situaba a veces lejos de su auténtico contenido original.

Holistic housing design to enhance health and wellbeing for libyan war wounded
Authors:   , Sasi Osama A Y
Published: December 2022

The 2011 war left many Libyans with disabilities who live in housing environments that may not suit their hidden injuries and disabilities. The Libyan war-wounded are the most affected Libyans because of being on the front line in the 2011 war or war zones. There is a need to help those people, together with their family members, to heal and recover by providing suitable residential neighbourhoods. Indeed, there is a lack of recommendations and standards for designing therapeutic residential environments for war veterans or war-wounded, which is this thesis's main interest. This study investigates holistic approaches for designing housing for Libyan war wounded to enhance their health and wellbeing. The primary purpose of the thesis was to create living healing environments for the Libyan war wended through holistic design approaches for future research and practising. In answering the main research question and 8 sub-questions, seven research aims and twenty-nine objectives were achieved. Data was collected from Libyan war wounded and Libyan experts. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 4 Libyan experts. Questionnaires were conducted with 31 Libyan war wounded. There was a limitation related to the sample size of Libyan war wounded because of the unusual nature of the research sample, the characteristics of the difficulties they faced, and the security conditions in the country during the period of conducting field studies. However, information extracted from them ensured the quality of the outcomes as they were members of the same war-wounded organisation. The data analysis informed the trial housing unit designs, which evaluation led to the optimisation of the designs, and an appropriate healing house was delivered. Although the holistic design approach of healing homes was delivered, the research shows kinds of challenges facing LWWs and exposes that their current housing environments were not suitable for their needs. Checklists for the modification and rehabilitation of existing residential buildings for Libyan war wounded were delivered, and the new shape of post-war Libyan housing with healing and accessible considerations was produced. The research allowed the development of a set of checklists and recommendations for architects to achieve a practical model of designing residential healing environments for war-wounded people or Libyan war wounded.
Planeación Estratégica De Mercadotecnia En Plataformas Sociodigitales
Authors: Garza Alanis Emma Catalina
Published: December 2022

Objetivo del estudio: Un fenómeno ampliamente estudiado, desde su aparición, fueron las plataformas sociodigitales que brindaron a los usuarios la socialización y se han convertido en parte de la estrategia de la organización para alcanzar a sus consumidores meta. El objetivo de la presenta investigación exploratoria fue identificar el uso del social listening en diversas industrias y, en el caso específico de México, para encontrar si existe una alineación hacia la planeación estratégica de la mercadotecnia.
Diseño / Metodología / Enfoque: Se utilizó una metodología cualitativa para la exploración de los conceptos de planeación estratégica de la mercadotecnia y del social listening. La investigación se dividió en dos fases; la primer fase constó con la creación de una base de datos para realizar un Estado del Arte con la revisión de artículos académicos, reportes y páginas de internet de proveedores de servicios de escucha digital; la segunda fase constó de la realización de seis entrevistas semiestructuradas a expertos en estrategia en plataformas sociodigitales.
Resultados: Se encontró que el social listening es utilizado en diversas industrias y en investigaciones a nivel global y en específico en México, se resaltó la importancia de la planeación estratégica de la mercadotecnia. Sin embargo no fue evidente que se realice un análisis en el que se observe la aplicación de la taxonomía de la escucha de Wolvin y Coakley (1993), esto significa que el análisis se realiza de forma superficial sin incorporar información de valor para la organización. Se concluyó la importancia de alinear la planeación estratégica de la mercadotecnia con el uso a profundidad de la escucha social. Esto abre una nueva posibilidad para las organizaciones en México para interactuar con sus consumidores en las plataformas.
Limitaciones e implicaciones: La limitación de la investigación fue sólo referirse a contexto mexicano porque sería de valor aplicarlo al contexto de latinoamérica, además que podría seleccionarse una industria en específico para analizar el social listening.
Originalidad /contribución: El estudio representa una contribución al estudiar al social listening y la planeación estratégica de la mercadotecnia en redes sociales en México puesto que no hay trabajos similares.

Published: December 2022

Introduction: The advancements in technologies have created new promenade pertaining to the anatomy of the anterior abdominal wall and body contouring surgery. This kindle the anatomist and surgeon to redefine the anatomy of the anterior abdominal wall. Anterior abdominal wall was routinely tutored as two layers, but the controversy regarding the existence and extent prevails. From the literature search, it was evident that preservation of Scarpa’s fascia is the pivot in determining the outcome of abdominal surgeries. Aim: To document the existence and extent of the Membranous Fascia of Scarpa (MFS) and compare the abdominal fat between age and sex-matched Computed Tomography (CT) images at 3 levels i.e., i) L1 vertebrae, ii) umbilicus and iii) anterior superior iliac spine and also to compare the distribution of abdominal fat. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in collaboration with the Department of Radiology at Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College and Hospital, Puducherry, from November 2019 to December 2020. A total of 60 CT images, that were age and sex matched were collected from the Medical Records Department. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.0 for windows. Types and extent of fascia were expressed in percentage, fat distribution as mean. The difference in mean between two and three independent groups was made using the Student’s t-test. The statistical tests applied were two tailed and p-value<0.05 were considered significant. Results: Single layer of the MFS was observed with 93.3%, 76.7% at level 1; 53.3%, 66.7% at level 2, 70%, 63.3% at level 3, among CT images of male and female respectively. The findings supported the presence of MFS on the entire anterior abdominal wall and 8 different patterns of MFS were observed. The anterior abdominal wall showed three layers of superficial fascia, with superficial fatty, MFS, and deep fatty zone. On comparing the abdominal fat, superficial fat was significantly high among females at all three levels. However, the deep fat though high among females in all the three-level; it was significantly high only at levels 1and 2 among subgroup 1 (p-value=0.003 and 0.001 respectively) and level 1 of subgroup 3 (p-value=0.01). Conclusion: The study decipher 3 layer theory of superficial layer of the anterior abdominal wall and superficial fat was significantly high among females, supporting that gender to be high-risk for surgical intervention. Redefining anatomy would guide for better and fruitful outcomes in surgical interventions.

Published: December 2022

Aim: Tanks were the major sources of irrigation for agriculture and storehouses of economic, social, aesthetic and environmental use values. However, in the present context, the current trends are showing that area and number of tanks are being reduced due to poor maintenance, encroachments, degradation of catchment area and siltation, etc. This calls for rehabilitation and rejuvenation of the existing tank irrigation systems so as to preserve this precious natural resource for the livelihood of future generations ahead. Hence this present study was undertaken to identify the social and institutional factors influencing the performance of tank systems in Kanchipuram district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

Study Design: Quota and Multistage random sampling method was followed.

Place and Duration of Study: Command and Non-command areas of the Uthiramerur Tank in Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu during 2020-2021.

Methodology: A Sample size of 120 sample respondents from the different locations of the command areas (Head, Middle, Tail and Non-command area) of Uthiramerur tank were selected and interviewed.

Results: It was observed from the performance analysis that over the years the tank’s performance was decreasing both in terms of filled in capacity vis-à-vis rainfall received (Above the tank outlet) and in terms of actual gross area irrigated vis-à-vis its potential command area (Below the tank outlet)  . One of the important reasons for the decline in the performance of Uthiramerur tank was attributed mainly to institutional deficiencies wherein concrete action lacked thereof.

Conclusion: The study suggested the following actions for the improvement of tank’s performance- streamlining the feeding channels of the tank by removing the encroachments, lining of channels to minimize the seepage losses and ensuring better water distribution, periodic desiltation ,strengthening the revenue collection mechanisms, encouraging the conjunctive water use and rejuvenating the water user association.

Published: December 2022

Background: By allowing patients to be extubated from their ventilators in the intensive care unit (ICU) as soon as they have stabilized, fast-track anesthesia (FTA) hastens the return to full awareness and independent breathing after surgery.

Objective: In this study our main goa is to evaluate the role of fast track extubation in enhance recovery after pediatric cardiac surgery.

Method: This prospective study was carried out at tertiary hospital from January 2021 from January 2022 where total of 200 CHD children, aged 6 months to 2 years and admitted to tertiary hospital, were selected for this study. During the study, 200 patients were randomly divided into two groups each consisting of 100 patients, and were subjected to fast track anesthesia and conventional anesthesia before surgeries.

Results: During the study, in fast track anesthesia group mean age was 1.2 ± 0.5 years, followed by 55 cases were female, 47 were preterm patients, mean anesthesia times was 3.5 ± 1.2 h, mean surgery time was 295.1 ± 22.9 min, mean CPB time was 47.2 ± 11.8, mean block time or a total allocated amount of time for a surgeon was 30.2 ± 8.9. whereas in conventional anesthesia group, mean age was 1.1 ± 0.5 years, followed by 40 cases were female, 45 were preterm patients, mean anesthesia times was 3.2 ± 1.0 h, mean surgery time was 288.0 ± 20.5 min, mean CPB time was 46.2 ± 10.7, mean block time was 31.5 ± 9.1. in fast track group mean extubation time was 22.9 ± 3.5 min followed by mean postoperative hospital stay was 11.5 ± 3.0 days, besides that, at extubation SAS score was 3.8 ± 0.6a and 24h post operation SAS score was 4.0 ± 0.5. Whereas in conventional group mean extubation time was 189.1 ± 31.2 min followed by mean postoperative hospital stay was 16.1 ± 2.4, besides that, at extubation SAS score was 4.8 ± 0.7and 24h post operation SAS score was 3.9 ± 0.5. MAP, HR and CVP between children outcome was measured based different time interval (T0 to T5) Moreover, no significant changes were noticed between two group.

The number of patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia was less in fast track group than in conventional group (P < 0.05). In fast track group arrhythmia cases were seen in 1% cases followed by 1% infection cases were seen, bleeding seen in 1%. Whereas in conventional group arrhythmia cases were seen in 2% cases followed by 1% infection cases were seen, bleeding seen in 2%.

Conclusion: Fast Track Anesthesia generates stable hemodynamics during operation, shorter extubation time, shorter ICU and hospitalization stay without increase in adverse reactions. It is worthy of recommendation for clinical practice.

Authors: Chandel Swati , Singh Akanksha , Harit Anshika , Najeeb S. M. Tarique , Gupta Neena
Published: December 2022

Background: Chronic Otitis Media (COM) is a common community health disorder of childhood in all developing countries. An undiagnosed hearing problem in childhood is a significant issue and can result in delayed language development, behavioral problems, and lifelong hearing disability. Objective: The study aimed to identify the prevalence of COM in children residing in slums and its association with the lifestyle and hygiene beliefs of slum areas.

Methods: The study enrolled 271 slum children from two slums of Delhi, aged between four to fifteen years. The entire study population underwent routine otoscopic examination followed by data collection on socio-demographic variables collected using a questionnaire.

Results: Out of the study population, COM and Otitis media effusion (OME) accounted for 29 (10.8%) cases and 33 (12.3%) cases, respectively. The COM prevalence was higher among boys (19) than girls (10). The current study correlating COM with specific socio-demographic factors found a significant association between maternal education (p< 0.05) and the disease. Also, ear cleaning habits (P<0.001), housing conditions, yearly income, family size, and medical consultation had a significant statistical association with COM (p<0.05).

Conclusion: The study highlights the lower prevalence of COM and also concludes that maternal education and seeking medical consultation have a strong association with COM. Though there is a gradual improvement in the slum community, socio-demographic conditions, and an increase in general awareness. But still, there is a need for more campaigns and awareness-based programs in slums to stop the development of COM at the earliest stage among underprivileged children.

Published: December 2022

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) stands out as a strong economic driver, being one of the fruit trees that most contribute to the total volume of brazilian production. The description of leaf characteristics allows to understand structures that act in resistance to pathogens, relationships with water resources and photosynthetic of plants, in addition to contributing to genetic improvement programs. However, there are few studies that attempt to describe the leaf anatomy of the different papaya cultivars. Thus, this study aims to describe the main leaf structure of papaya cultivars Sunrise Solo and Golden THB. The leaves were collected in the municipalities of São Mateus and Aracruz, located in the north of the State of Espírito Santo, using transversal and paradermic sections and the usual techniques of plant histology. Both cultivars presented uni-stratified epidermis, followed by palisade chlorophyll parenchyma and lacunous with collateral vascular system. Calcium oxalate druses were more observed in the Sunrise Soil cultivar. The differences between cultivars were in the number of layers of mesophyll tissues.

Published: December 2022

Brinjal is one of the important vegetable crops in India. Many diseases affect its production. Among them, Fusarium wilt disease causes great losses in yield. Normally, this disease is controlled with fungicides, which not only develop resistance in disease-causing pathogens but also have deleterious effects on human health and the environment. So, in the present study, alternative methods of control that are eco-friendly, safe, easy, and affordable by using organic soil amendments were tested both In vitro and in pot culture studies. In the present study, aqueous extracts of different organic amendments were tested at 10 and 15 percent concentrations against the growth of the pathogen in vitro. Among them, neem cake showed highest percentages of mycelial inhibition (80.88% and 85.56%), followed by mustard cake (78.72% and 73.41%) against the test pathogen at 10 and 15 percent, respectively. However, the least mycelium growth inhibition was recorded with cotton cake extract (34.06% and 54.67%). Besides, pot culture studies also yielded similar results. Out of nine organic amendments tested against Fusarium wilt in pot conditions, neem seed kernel cake recorded the lowest wilt incidence (22.19% and 16.95%), followed by mustard cake (23.49% and 17.54%) at 100 and 150 g concentrations, respectively, whereas treatments with vermicompost, goat manure, and poultry manure showed lower inhibition against wilt incidence when compared to the remaining oil cake organic amendments at both concentrations tested. In the present study, it was found that aqueous extracts of organic amendments tested against the pathogen showed significant inhibition in-vitro. Similarly, incorporation of organic amendments into sick soil inoculated with pathogen showed a significant reduction in the incidence of wilt disease as compared to the untreated control.

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season 2021 to study the effect of seed size and bio-fertilizers on yield, quality, nutrient content and uptake by the crop and available nutrients in soil after harvest of crop. The treatments include different categories of seed size viz., mixed (S1), bold (S2) and small seed size (S3) and bio-fertilizer viz., control (B1), Rhizobium + PSB + KMB (B2) and Trichoderma harzianum + Aspergillus niger (B3). Seed yield and haulm yield of groundnut were significantly increased by the treatments of seed size and biofertilizers. The crops sown with large seed size (1184 kg ha-1) and bio-fertilizer with the treatment Rhizobium + PSB + KMB produced significantly higher seed yield (1227 kg ha-1). Similarly, significantly higher haulm yield was also found in the treatment large seed (2442 kg ha-1) and Rhizobium + PSB + KMB (2427 kg ha-1). However, oil content and oil yield were found non-significant by seed size and bio-fertilizer. Significantly higher nutrient uptake by seed and haulm of crop obtained with the treatment bold seed and Rhizobium + PSB + KMB.
New Interesting Property and Application of the Rectangular Hyperbolay
Authors: Wang Xingbo
Published: December 2022

This paper derives an interesting property of the rectangular hyperbola. On the branch of the first quadrant, the slope of a chord starting from the vertex of the hyperbola has an opposite sign with the slope of the line segment from the coordinate origin to the peak of the chord. An arbitrary another chord starting from the ending-point of the former one continues owning the stated property. With this property, hyperbola xy = N can be subdivided into a series of hyperbolic arcs to factorize N or to estimate the divisor-ratio q/p if N=pq with 2 <p<q is a semiprime. It is proven that a semiprime is easier to be factorized if it has a small divisor-ratio. The paper presents detail mathematical reasoning as well as an approach to realize the factorization or estimation.

Background: The goal of reperfusion therapy in acute myocardial infarction is to swiftly and persistently reperfuse the at-risk myocardium. Traditional reperfusion treatments include thrombolysis and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with the latter being the optimal option if administered immediately by an experienced team. This study characterized the presentation, processes, and predictors of care and outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) undergone primary PCI with a focus on procedural and angiographic characteristics and in hospital mortality.

Methods: This prospective observational registry was conducted on 945 STEMI patients and treated with PCI, they underwent history taking, full Clinical examinations including resting 12 leads ECG, cardiac examination, venous sampling for laboratory data, cardiac catheterization to perform primary PCI, echocardiography, medical treatment after discharge.

Results: It was found that EF of patients at discharge ranged from 22.0-70.0 with a mean value of 45.97 ± 10.07, while at one month follow up was 25.0-70.0 with mean SD 48.87 ± 8.17, at 3 month was 25.0-70.0 with mean SD 48.72 ± 8.26 and at 6 month was 30.0-70.0 with mean SD 48.18 ± 8.13, so there was a significant different in EF at discharge and follow up periods (P value = 0.001). It was noticed that there are significant differences in MACE during follow up periods. There a statically significant different as regard mortality, heart failure, stent thrombosis, repeated hospitalization and re-infarction between follow up after one and three months, one and six months, three and six months (P value < 0.001).

Conclusions: PCI is the most common reperfusion therapy for STEMI. Older individuals had a greater risk of in-hospital mortality, AKI, and bleeding complications following PCI than younger patients. Transradial intervention may decrease the frequency of periprocedural complications in PCI patients who are elderly.

O trabalho apresentado nesta pesquisa tem o objetivo de analisar como vemacontecendo a dinâmica de (re)produção do espaço urbano de Campina Grande-PB a partir da construção da habitação popular na cidade. O objeto de estudo em questão é o empreendimento do Complexo Aluízio Campos, mais especificamente o setor habitacional deste Complexo. A escrita foi desenvolvida a partir da pesquisa documental através da análise dos documentos do projeto do empreendimento, da legislação municipal que norteia a implantação da política habitacional na cidade no período de 2007 a 2018, da leitura e do levantamento bibliográfico acerca de conceitos como periferia e segregação socioespacial, além de pesquisa de campo e coleta de dados em órgãos municipais da prefeitura. A partir dos dados obtidos as reflexões aqui trazidas nos permitem compreender como, na verdade, a política habitacional e a construção destes conjuntos em Campina Grande vêm impondo à população pobre viver em locais periféricos da cidade, negando-a o direito ao usufruto do espaço urbano e de seus serviços de forma plena e gerando uma segregação socioespacial planejada sob a égide do discurso do direito à habitação.

Published: December 2022

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a organização dos circuitos espaciais da produção madeireira na Amazônia Oriental. Utiliza-se como recorte espacial e objeto de estudo o circuito madeireiro de serrada bruta do município de Nova Esperança do Piriá, Pará, Brasil. Metodologicamente, o trabalho é desenvolvido a partir de produção de dados primários (entrevistas, constituição de acervo fotográfico, visitas de campo) e dados secundários (IBGE, SISFLORA-PA, CEPROF-PA). Os dados sugerem que o funcionamento desse circuito madeireiro se dá a partir de uma organização e uma estruturação com destaque na participação de serrarias (indústrias madeireiras de desdobramento primário de madeira nativa em tora). A partir dessa participação, o referido circuito apresenta limitado potencial produtivo, estando restrito à função de mero produtor de mercadorias de caraterística simples: madeira serrada bruta.
Notas sobre o processo de urbanização brasileiro
Authors: Silva Marília Raiane
Published: December 2022

Por meio deste artigo pretende-se realizar uma revisão bibliográfica acerca dealguns dos aspectos que marcam o processo de urbanização brasileira. Em especial, abordaremos as recentes transformações engendradas no espaço rural brasileiro e seus efeitos sobre a generalização do fenômeno urbano em espaços eminentemente agrários. A fim de lançar um olhar renovado e crítico para o debate acerca das relações campo-cidade e rural-urbano, propõe-se um enfoque sobre o conceito de “cidades do agronegócio”, cunhado por Denise Elias (2011), para designar espaços produzidos sob a lógica da agricultura financeirizada, e a ela subordinados. Ao retomarmos diferentes abordagens teóricas a respeito da produção do espaço urbano brasileiro, com suas diferentes visões acerca das reconfigurações do espaço rural, oferecemos insigths importantes para a atualização de um debate que vem sendo alimentado por distintos modos de empreender a superação da dicotomia entre o rural e o urbano.

Metallocenes
Authors: Wasserman Eric
Published: December 2022

Ever since their discovery by Sinn and Kaminsky in 1979, the family of high activity homogeneous olefin polymerization catalysts known as metallocenes has been the subject of intense research and commercial development. While a structurally diverse group, metallocene catalysts are generally considered to have a few common features: a highly electrophilic, early transition metal or rare‐earth atom as the point of polymer chain attachment; a π‐bound cyclopentadienyl ring or isoelectronic analogue attached to this atom; and characteristically narrow distributions of polymer molecular weight and short‐chain branching. While polymerization of ethylene and propylene is reviewed in some detail, the nonpolymerization catalysis and (co)polymerization of functional monomers is also surveyed. The current commercial status of metallocene technology is also briefly discussed.
