From TOD to TAC: Why and How Transport and Urban Policy Needs to Shift to Regenerating Main Road Corridors with New Transit Systems
Authors: Newman Peter , Davies-Slate Sebastian , Conley Daniel , Hargroves Karlson , Mouritz Mike
Published: July 2021

The need for transit oriented development (TOD) around railway stations has been well accepted and continues to be needed in cities looking to regenerate both transit and urban development. Large parts of suburban areas remain without quality transit down main roads that are usually filled with traffic resulting in reduced urban value. The need to regenerate both the mobility and land development along such roads will likely be the next big agenda in transport and urban policy. This paper learns from century-old experiences in public–private approaches to railway-based urban development from around the world, along with innovative insights from the novel integration of historical perspectives, entrepreneurship theory and urban planning to create the notion of a “Transit Activated Corridor” (TAC). TACs prioritize fast transit and a string of station precincts along urban main roads. The core policy processes for a TAC are outlined with some early case studies. Five design principles for delivering a TAC are presented in this paper, three principles from entrepreneurship theory and two from urban planning. The potential for new mid-tier transit like trackless trams to enable TACs is used to illustrate how these design processes can be an effective approach for designing, financing and delivering a “Transit Activated Corridor”.
The Protein Kinase Receptor Modulates the Innate Immune Response against Tacaribe Virus
Authors: Moreno Hector , Kunz Stefan
Published: July 2021

The New World (NW) mammarenavirus group includes several zoonotic highly pathogenic viruses, such as Junin (JUNV) or Machupo (MACV). Contrary to the Old World mammarenavirus group, these viruses are not able to completely suppress the innate immune response and trigger a robust interferon (IFN)-I response via retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I). Nevertheless, pathogenic NW mammarenaviruses trigger a weaker IFN response than their nonpathogenic relatives do. RIG-I activation leads to upregulation of a plethora of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), which exert a characteristic antiviral effect either as lone effectors, or resulting from the combination with other ISGs or cellular factors. The dsRNA sensor protein kinase receptor (PKR) is an ISG that plays a pivotal role in the control of the mammarenavirus infection. In addition to its well-known protein synthesis inhibition, PKR further modulates the overall IFN-I response against different viruses, including mammarenaviruses. For this study, we employed Tacaribe virus (TCRV), the closest relative of the human pathogenic JUNV. Our findings indicate that PKR does not only increase IFN-I expression against TCRV infection, but also affects the kinetic expression and the extent of induction of Mx1 and ISG15 at both levels, mRNA and protein expression. Moreover, TCRV fails to suppress the effect of activated PKR, resulting in the inhibition of a viral titer. Here, we provide original evidence of the specific immunomodulatory role of PKR over selected ISGs, altering the dynamic of the innate immune response course against TCRV. The mechanisms for innate immune evasion are key for the emergence and adaptation of human pathogenic arenaviruses, and highly pathogenic mammarenaviruses, such as JUNV or MACV, trigger a weaker IFN response than nonpathogenic mammarenaviruses. Within the innate immune response context, PKR plays an important role in sensing and restricting the infection of TCRV virus. Although the mechanism of PKR for protein synthesis inhibition is well described, its immunomodulatory role is less understood. Our present findings further characterize the innate immune response in the absence of PKR, unveiling the role of PKR in defining the ISG profile after viral infection. Moreover, TCRV fails to suppress activated PKR, resulting in viral progeny production inhibition.

Published: July 2021

The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has placed a significant strain on hepatitis programs and interventions (screening, diagnosis, and treatment) at a critical moment in the context of hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination. We sought to quantify changes in Direct Acting Antiviral (DAA) utilization among different countries during the pandemic. We conducted a cross-sectional time series analysis between 1 September 2018 and 31 August 2020, using the IQVIA MIDAS database, which contains DAA purchase data for 54 countries. We examined the percent change in DAA units dispensed (e.g., pills and capsules) from March to August 2019 to the same period of time in 2020 across the 54 countries. Interrupted time-series analysis was used to examine the impact of COVID-19 on monthly rates of DAA utilization across each of the major developed economies (G7 nations). Overall, 46 of 54 (85%) jurisdictions experienced a decline in DAA utilization during the pandemic, with an average of −43% (range: −1% in Finland to −93% in Brazil). All high HCV prevalence (HCV prevalence > 2%) countries in the database experienced a decline in utilization, average −49% (range: −17% in Kazakhstan to −90% in Egypt). Across the G7 nations, we also observed a decreased trend in DAA utilization during the early months of the pandemic, with significant declines (p < 0.01) for Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. The global response to COVID-19 led to a large decrease in DAA utilization globally. Deliberate efforts to counteract the impact of COVID-19 on treatment delivery are needed to support the goal of HCV elimination.
A Mechanically Transmitted DNA Mycovirus Is Targeted by the Defence Machinery of Its Host, Botrytis cinerea
Authors: Khalifa Mahmoud E. , MacDiarmid Robin M.
Published: July 2021

Eukaryotic circular single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses were known only to infect plants and vertebrates until the discovery of the isolated DNA mycovirus from the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Similar viral sequences were reported from several other sources and classified in ten genera within the Genomoviridae family. The current study reports two circular ssDNA mycoviruses isolated from the phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea, and their assignment to a newly created genus tentatively named Gemydayirivirus. The mycoviruses, tentatively named botrytis gemydayirivirus 1 (BGDaV1) and BGDaV2, are 1701 and 1693 nt long and encode three and two open reading frames (ORFs), respectively. Of the predicted ORFs, only ORF I, which codes for a replication initiation protein (Rep), shared identity with other proteins in GenBank. BGDaV1 is infective as cell-free purified particles and confers hypovirulence on its natural host. Investigation revealed that BGDaV1 is a target for RNA silencing and genomic DNA methylation, keeping the virus at very low titre. The discovery of BGDaV1 expands our knowledge of the diversity of genomoviruses and their interaction with fungal hosts.

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is an economically significant swine infectious agent. A PRV outbreak took place in China in 2011 with novel virulent variants. Although the association of viral genomic variability with pathogenicity is not fully confirmed, the knowledge concerning PRV genomic diversity and evolution is still limited. Here, we sequenced 54 genomes of novel PRV variants isolated in China from 2012 to 2017. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that China strains and US/Europe strains were classified into two separate genotypes. PRV strains isolated from 2012 to 2017 in China are highly related to each other and genetically close to classic China strains such as Ea, Fa, and SC. RDP analysis revealed 23 recombination events within novel PRV variants, indicating that recombination contributes significantly to the viral evolution. The selection pressure analysis indicated that most ORFs were under evolutionary constraint, and 19 amino acid residue sites in 15 ORFs were identified under positive selection. Additionally, 37 unique mutations were identified in 19 ORFs, which distinguish the novel variants from classic strains. Overall, our study suggested that novel PRV variants might evolve from classical PRV strains through point mutation and recombination mechanisms.

Published: July 2021

Few studies have examined the influenza vaccination rates among stroke survivors despite the importance of vaccines in preventing influenza- and stroke-related complications. Thus, we investigated the vaccination rates and the associated factors among stroke survivors using the representative Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2014–2018. We measured and compared the vaccination rates of 591 stroke survivors and 17,997 non-stroke survivors. Multivariate logistic regression analyses of all stroke survivors and age subgroups (<65 and ≥65 years) were performed to identify the factors influencing vaccination. The overall vaccination rate was significantly higher in the stroke survivors (64.8%) than in the non-stroke survivors (41.1%), but it was low compared to global standards. Among stroke survivors aged <65 years, the rate was low (37.5%), but it improved in those aged ≥65 years (85.6%). Age ≥ 65 years, the eligible age for the national free vaccination program was the most prominent predictor of vaccination for all stroke survivors, while smoking was a negative predictor. No significant factors were found in the subgroup analyses according to age (<65 and ≥65 years). Therefore, implementing strategic public health policies, such as expanding the free vaccination program to stroke survivors aged <65 years, may improve vaccine coverage.
The Response of the HydroGeoSphere Model to Alternative Spatial Precipitation Simulation Methods
Authors: Lü Haishen , Wang Qimeng , Horton Robert , Zhu Yonghua
Published: July 2021

This paper presents the simulation results obtained from a physically based surface-subsurface hydrological model in a 5730 km2 watershed and the runoff response of the physically based hydrological models for three methods used to generate the spatial precipitation distribution: Thiessen polygons (TP), Co-Kriging (CK) interpolation and simulated annealing (SA). The HydroGeoSphere model is employed to simulate the rainfall-runoff process in two watersheds. For a large precipitation event, the simulated patterns using SA appear to be more realistic than those using the TP and CK method. In a large-scale watershed, the results demonstrate that when HydroGeoSphere is forced by TP precipitation data, it fails to reproduce the timing, intensity, or peak streamflow values. On the other hand, when HydroGeoSphere is forced by CK and SA data, the results are consistent with the measured streamflows. In a medium-scale watershed, the HydroGeoSphere results show a similar response compared to the measured streamflow values when driven by all three methods used to estimate the precipitation, although the SA case is slightly better than the other cases. The analytical results could provide a valuable counterpart to existing climate-based drought indices by comparing multiple interpolation methods in simulating land surface runoff.
Diffuse Water Pollution from Agriculture: A Review of Nature-Based Solutions for Nitrogen Removal and Recovery
Authors: Mancuso Giuseppe , Bencresciuto Grazia Federica , Lavrnić Stevo , Toscano Attilio
Published: July 2021

The implementation of nature-based solutions (NBSs) can be a suitable and sustainable approach to coping with environmental issues related to diffuse water pollution from agriculture. NBSs exploit natural mitigation processes that can promote the removal of different contaminants from agricultural wastewater, and they can also enable the recovery of otherwise lost resources (i.e., nutrients). Among these, nitrogen impacts different ecosystems, resulting in serious environmental and human health issues. Recent research activities have investigated the capability of NBS to remove nitrogen from polluted water. However, the regulating mechanisms for nitrogen removal can be complex, since a wide range of decontamination pathways, such as plant uptake, microbial degradation, substrate adsorption and filtration, precipitation, sedimentation, and volatilization, can be involved. Investigating these processes is beneficial for the enhancement of the performance of NBSs. The present study provides a comprehensive review of factors that can influence nitrogen removal in different types of NBSs, and the possible strategies for nitrogen recovery that have been reported in the literature.
Possibilities of Using Neuro-Fuzzy Models for Post-Processing of Hydrological Forecasts
Authors: Kozel Tomas , Vlasak Tomas , Janal Petr
Published: July 2021

When issuing hydrological forecasts and warnings for individual profiles, the aim is to achieve the best possible results. Hydrological forecasts themselves are burdened by an error (uncertainty) at the inputs (precipitation forecast) as well as on the side of the hydrological model used. The aim of the method described in this article is to reduce the error of the hydrological model using post-processing the model results. Models based on neuro-fuzzy models were selected for the post-processing itself. The whole method was tested on 12 profiles in the Czech Republic. The catchment size of the individual profiles ranged from 90 to 4500 km2 and the profiles varied in their character, both in terms of elevation as well as land cover. After finding the suitable model architecture and introducing supporting algorithms, there was an improvement in the results for the individual profiles for selected criteria by on average 5–60% (relative culmination error, mean square error) compared to the results of re-simulation of the hydrological model. The results of the application show that the method was able to improve the accuracy of hydrological forecasts and thus could contribute to better management of flood situations.

Exposições artísticas: estratégias de instituições museológicas em espaços expositivos contemporâneos
Authors:   , Silveira Giulia Drumond Imazio
Published: July 2021

Diante das mudanças que o setor cultural vem vivenciando nos últimos anos e da intensificação do uso das redes sociais e dos meios digitais devido a pandemia de COVID-19, instituições museológicas precisaram repensar suas estratégias de gestão, comunicação e marketing digital para atender às novas demandas de uma sociedade cada vez mais conectada, criando novas formas de relacionamento entre público e espaços de arte. Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar quais iniciativas, boas práticas e estratégias estão sendo utilizadas por essas instituições para lidar com os desafios que surgiram neste novo cenário e investigar quais são os impactos dessas mudanças na experiência como um todo na percepção do público: na fruição, aprendizado, construção de narrativas expositivas e formação crítica do sujeito. Para isso, são realizadas análises sociais, ambientais, culturais e tecnológicas para compreender como se dá a relação subjetiva e complexa entre instituições museológicas de arte e público.
Maternidades lésbicas e educação: “rabiscar” como produção de sentidos
Authors:   , Mochi Luciene Celina Cristina
Published: July 2021

A presente tese tem como objeto de estudo a maternidade lésbica e bissexual e suas interfaces que permeiam o contexto escolar. A pesquisa parte do fenômeno social de que a naturalização da maternidade e a pressuposição da heterossexualidade, como universal, para todas as mulheres, pode fazer com que as mães que são lésbicas ou bissexuais, tensionem esse “lugar” predeterminado na sociedade heterossexista. A necessidade de compreensão e de análise desse “lugar” justifica este doutoramento que intenta responder ao seguinte problema de pesquisa: de que maneira as famílias de crianças que possuem mães lésbicas ou bissexuais são acolhidas e representadas pelas escolas da Educação Infantil e séries iniciais do Ensino Fundamental? Para responder este questionamento que consiste em compreender que sentidos de maternidade são produzidos a partir da existência das/os filhas/os de famílias lesboparentais na escola, este estudo de natureza qualitativa, apresenta os seguintes objetivos: conhecer sobre a importância da educação escolar para as famílias compostas por mães lésbicas ou bissexuais que possuem filhas/os na Educação Infantil e séries iniciais do Ensino Fundamental; analisar se a presença de mães que são lésbicas ou bissexuais contribuem para o exercício da socialização e reconstrução de práticas democráticas no interior da escola; e, investigar em que medida, a presença de crianças, filhas e filhos dessas famílias, modificam o espaço escolar e promovem possibilidades de se repensar a relação famílias e escolas. Para a coleta de dados, o método de seleção das treze participantes foi o “Bola de Neve” (Snowball Sampling), e o instrumento de pesquisa foi um roteiro de entrevistas, que foram realizadas presencialmente com treze mães durante o segundo semestre de 2018. A análise das narrativas obtidas se fundamenta na contribuição das teorias feministas e dos estudos das relações de gênero e educação. Como resultado, a pesquisa conclui que, de forma isolada, é possível identificar alguns avanços na articulação entre a escola e a família lesboparental. Entretanto, há um longo caminho a ser percorrido para que a educação seja pautada na (e para a) democracia, o que consiste na garantia de direitos, de representatividade e de uma escola que seja livre de discriminações e violências para as mulheres que conjugam maternidade e lesbianidade/bissexualidade, para suas famílias lesboparentais e para todas as crianças que possuem configurações familiares plurais
Jeux d’échelle et enjeux : Dynamiques identitaires des cérémonies processionnelles en Birmanie bouddhique
Authors: Robinne François
Published: July 2021

The districts of Thibaw and of Nyaung-Shwe (Inle Lake), situated respectively in the northern and southern parts of the Shan State of Burma, are characterised by an important linguistic and cultural diversity as well as by strong and dynamic links between villages. In these districts, the hierarchical pattern of the administration of the Shan princes (sawbwas) exerted a strict control over the economic and religious networks until the Burmese military coup in 1962. However, since 1962, the evolution of two local processional ceremonies around Inle and Thibaw has played a significant role in the restructuration of the local interethnic relationships and social “ landscape.” Actually, these ceremonies evolved in opposite ways : while processions at Inle have continued through a steady expansion both in terms of geographic coverage and duration, the ritual at Thibaw “ shrank” from a processional ceremony spread over a sizeable area to a “ confined” local pagoda festival. However, despite this marked contrast, the result in both cases is a marginalisation of the regional networks and of the interethnic links. Understood in the context of the interethnic dynamics they used to be part of, the role of the processional rituals at Inle and Thibaw has become less and less significant— be it as key factors of social bondage between the ethnic communities, or as tools of mutual appropriation of the social landscape by these communities. The progressive stranglehold accomplished by the Burmese central power on such rituals took a drastic turn in the early 1990s, an era that saw the institution of a parade on Lake Kandawgyi in Yangon. Mostly corporatist, this parade constitutes a secular incarnation of the Buddhist rituals from which it is derived.
De l’art moderne à l’art contemporain. Un transfert de monopole dans le monde de l’art thaïlandais
Authors: Boissier Annabelle
Published: July 2021

Historical studies of modern and contemporary non-occidental art all contain accounts of sudden breaks in the continuity of its evolution. However, even if the members of the artistic community concerned do themselves acknowledge such breaks, no one has ever attempted to propose an explanation. This paper focuses on one such break in the history of Thai art. Through a comparative analysis of the curriculum vitae of various twentieth-century Thai artists and of the evolution of their careers, the author will show that the 1980s constitute a pivotal period for Thai art : that decade saw the decline of the then prevalent modern-art academic model and the emergence of the conditions required for the development of atypical artistic networks that gave birth to the new recognition system of contemporary art.
Quelques conceptions contemporaines de la division régionale de la Finlande
Authors: Cabouret Michel
Published: July 2021

L'élude géographique régionale a été entreprise en Finlande par différentes approches ; il y a d'abord la conception classique des régions au sens de l'école française, régions à la fois naturelles et humaines où s'établit une certaine adéquation des activités humaines au cadre dressé par les traits physiques, sans déterminisme abusif ; il y a aussi l'idée récente qui voit dans la Finlande un Etat à la fois d'économie développée comme les autres nations de l'Europe du Nord et du Nord-Ouest et d'économie sous-développée au moins dans les secteurs périphériques sur le plan géographique (y compris l'archipel côtier) et marginaux sur le plan de l'occupation humaine et de la mise en valeur, notam¬ ment dins la Finlande septentrionale, le domaine lapon au sens large. Entre deux grands espaces contrastés, la Finlande «occidentale » {au sens de la civi¬ lisation et du mode de vie) du Sud el du Sud-Ouest et la Finlande arctique, encore pionnière dans une Europe largement stabilisée s'étend une large zone de transition qui emprunte des caractères à l'un et à l'autre de ces grands ensembles. Enfin, une analyse statistique permet une division régionale plus fine appuyée sur des critères relativement objectifs. En fait, il appert que les diverses rhéthodes de description et d'interprétation des espaces géographiques finlandais aboutissent à des résultats assez proches les uns des autres.
LOS PROCESOS MATEMÁTICOS EN LAS BASES CURRICULARES DE EDUCACIÓN INFANTIL CHILENAS
Authors: Piñeiro Juan Luis
Published: July 2021

La educación matemática suele diferenciar los procesos (saber hacer) de los contenidos (saber) para el desarrollo de la competencia matemática. En consecuencia, ambos elementos deben evidenciarse en los currículos. En este trabajo se presenta un análisis de la presencia de los procesos matemáticos en las nuevas Bases Curriculares de Educación Infantil chilenas. Las categorías de análisis empleadas han surgido a través de un proceso deductivo-inductivo basado en las descripciones realizadas por el National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) de cada proceso. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian que el currículo analizado presenta descripciones dispares entre los procesos analizados (resolución de problemas, razonamiento y prueba, comunicación, conexiones y representación). Se concluye que es necesario un apoyo particular y explícito a las y los docentes de educación infantil para una implementación exitosa de las nuevas Bases Curriculares.
Efficiency Analysis of the Turbine using Calorific Value Parameters for a 10 Megawatt Gas Turbine
Authors: Amadi Rex K.C , David Charles
Published: July 2021

This research is based on the thermodynamic performance of a gas turbine power plant.  It considered the variation of operating conditions, i.e. the ambient temperature, the compressor outlet temperature, pressure ratio, etc. on the performance of the gas turbine thermal efficiency, turbine work, compressor work, etc. which were derived and analyzed.  The Gross (higher) calorific values at constant pressure () heat of combustion in a flow process from state 1 to state 2 was considered and used to analyze our thermal efficiency.  The results show that the ambient temperature and air to fuel ratio strongly influence the turbine work, compressor work and thermal efficiency.  In addition, the thermal efficiency and power decreases linearly with increase of the ambient temperature.  However, the efficiency analyzed when the calorific parameters were considered was higher than the efficiency when the basic thermodynamic theories (first and second law principles) were used.  The first ranges between 31% to 33, while the second ranges between 28% to 32% under the same ambient temperature conditions

Authors: Codesido Lucas
Published: July 2021

En este trabajo se examinan los componentes de las fuerzas enfrentadas a partir de septiembre de 1874 con motivo de la rebelión mitrista. Se estudia la trayectoria profesional de los oficiales involucrados y el papel desempeñado por las lealtades políticas y los vínculos personales a la hora de ser incorporados en alguno de los bandos en contraste con un arquetipo de sujeción propio de la institución militar concebida como brazo armado del Estado nacional. También se propone esclarecer los mecanismos utilizados por ambas formas de organización militar para conseguir recursos humanos y apoyo material. Por último, se presentan algunas derivaciones de los sucesos de 1874 en la arquitectura del Ejército Nacional.
cooperación internacional en la lucha contra el terrorismo yihadista en el seno de la Unión Europea tras los atentados terroristas a partir del año 2015
Authors: Springli Maitena Sol , Curvale Pamela
Published: July 2021

A lo largo de su historia, la Unión Europea se ha enfrentado a diferentes desafíos en materia de seguridad, siendo uno de ellos el terrorismo, lo que ha colocado a la prevención del terrorismo en un lugar prioritario en la agenda del bloque. A partir de la aprobación, en noviembre de 2005, de la primera estrategia antiterrorista de la Unión Europea, la evolución de este fenómeno y sus consecuentes atentados han llevado a las autoridades del viejo continente a realizar una adaptación periódica de sus políticas y planes para hacer frente a su amenaza. No obstante, con el surgimiento del Estado Islámico a fines de 2014 y el impacto de sus atentados, se encara a un nuevo tipo de terrorismo yihadista, diferente de Al Qaeda, planteando un renovado escenario post Guerra Fría, tanto para el sistema internacional como para los Estados del bloque europeo. Esto lleva a preguntarse si dichos actos cometidos por una minoría fanatizada obligan a alterar las políticas en materia de seguridad de los Estados afectados, y a su vez, a reconocer la necesidad de adoptar mecanismos de cooperación dentro del bloque europeo para hacer frente a la lucha contra el terrorismo.

The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collecting techniques such as interviews and documentation. The results showed that the moral values facilitated by SIDH include social values (which are reflected in honesty, responsibility, cooperation, tolerance, and peace, among others), religious values (which are reflected in obedience to worship and how to get along with the opposite sex by the teachings Islam). The value of nationalism (reflected in students while maintaining and introducing Indonesian culture in the Netherlands). Being present and developing in the Land of Windmills is not a barrier to continuing education by adhering to national values. Education does not deprive students of the roots of tradition or national moral values wherever education is located.

This present study reports 30 students' first learning experiences when using Skype in an English Language Teaching (ELT) webinar series. Since numbers of ELT webinars have been flourishing throughout the corona pandemic situation in 2020, the utilization of diverse online platforms to facilitate the events has also been growing. Skype, an online application released in 2003, was not widely used by the participants in this study as their synchronous virtual English Language Learning (ELL) platform. As a result, many of them were not familiar with this application. Underpinning Gibbs' reflective framework, this qualitative scrutiny documented the encountered shortcomings and advantages written in the participants' journal. This study's findings revealed that the Skype-based webinar provides opportunities to stimulate the students' learning motivation, broadens their insights, and offers enjoyable learning circumstances. Despite the opportunities, there were also some drawbacks concerning the lack of intelligibility which generates learning anxiety and technical issues concerning signal stability.
