Bats are important natural reservoir hosts of a diverse range of viruses that can be transmitted to humans and have been suggested to play an important role in the Zika virus (ZIKV) transmission cycle. However, the exact role of these animals as reservoirs for flaviviruses is still controversial. To further expand our understanding of the role of bats in the ZIKV transmission cycle in Latin America, we carried out an experimental infection in wild-caught Artibeus lituratus bats and sampled several free-living neotropical bats across three countries of the region. Experimental ZIKV infection was performed in wild-caught adult bats (4 females and 5 males). The most relevant findings were hemorrhages in the bladder, stomach and patagium. Significant histological findings included inflammatory infiltrate consisting of a predominance of neutrophils and lymphocytes, in addition to degeneration in the reproductive tract of males and females. This suggests that bat reproduction might be at some level affected by ZIKV. Leukopenia was also observed in some inoculated animals. Hemorrhages, genital alterations, and leukopenia are suggested to be caused by ZIKV; however, since these were wild-caught bats, we cannot exclude other agents. Detection of ZIKV by qPCR was observed at low concentrations in only two urine samples in two inoculated animals. All other animals and tissues tested were negative. Finally, no virus-neutralizing antibodies were found in any animal. To determine ZIKV infection in nature, the blood of a total of 2056 bats was sampled for ZIKV detection by qPCR. Most of the sampled individuals belonged to the genus Pteronotus sp. (23%), followed by the species Carollia sp. (17%), Anoura sp. (14%), and Molossus sp. (13.7%). No sample of any tested species was positive for ZIKV by qPCR. These results together suggest that bats are not efficient amplifiers or reservoirs of ZIKV and may not have an important role in ZIKV transmission dynamics.

Hipertermia-okozta stresszválasz molekuláris mechanizmusai emlős sejtekben
Authors: Tiszlavicz Ádám István
Published: July 2023

Az élőlények képesek érzékelni a belső és külső környezeti változásokat, és azokra többféle módon reagálnak. A doktori munka során megvizsgáltuk, hogy a stresszre válaszolva, különösen enyhe lázszerű hipertermia esetén milyen sejtszintű mechanizmusok lépnek működésbe emlőssejtekben. Tanulmányoztuk, hogy az enyhe (40 °C) hosszan tartó (0-12 óra) és a mérsékelt (42,5 °C, 1 óra) hőstressz hogyan befolyásolja a sejtnövekedést, a Hsp indukciót, a szerzett stressztolerancia kialakulását, sejt energiaállapotát, lipidperoxidáció mértékét, lipidomikát, raft stabilitást és a génexpressziót kínai hörcsög petefészek (CHO) sejtekben. Azt találtuk, hogy az enyhe hőstressz a lipidprofil dózisfüggő átalakulását eredményezi, amit a magasabb dózisok esetén a hősokkfehérjék expressziója követ. A telített membrán lipidspecieszek és a specifikus lizofoszfatidil-inozit és szfingolipid specieszek relatív koncentrációjának szignifikáns emelkedése arra utal, hogy a membrán mikrodomének gyorsan átszerveződnek és a membránok rigiditása növekszik időfüggő módon, ami a sejt válasza hő membrán fluidizáló hatásával szemben. Az RNAseq kísérletek alapján az enyhe hő aktiválja az endoplazmatikus retikulum stresszhez kapcsolódó jelátviteli kaszkádokat, amely lipid-átrendeződéshez és végső soron benzil-alkohol okozta membránfluidizációval szembeni megnövekedett rezisztenciához vezet. Az akár letális, fehérje denaturációra képes magas hőmérsékletek esetén a védelemhez a klasszikus hősokk fehérjeválaszra van szükség. A különböző hődózisok különböző stresszválaszt váltanak ki, ami rávilágít arra, hogy a sejtek képesek többféle eszközt is felhasználni a stresszel szembeni ellenállás illetve a túlélés érdekében.

Authors: Leci de Souza Rezende Cynthia , Mendes Áquilas
Published: July 2023

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar à luz da literatura marxista as relações acerca da exploração da força de trabalho e seus rebatimentos na saúde pública brasileira. Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática crítica, em revistas marxistas nacionais, incluindo 13 artigos analisados em três categorias, sendo a exploração do trabalho, a saúde e as relações entre elas. O artigo contextualiza os temas da superexploração do trabalho e da expropriação social e, de forma sintética, da perspectiva histórica da acumulação capitalista na América Latina, a questão do trabalho e da saúde. Os artigos incluídos demonstram, que as condições de saúde se encontram, intimamente, articuladas à superexploração da força de trabalho. Sem dúvida e não poderia ser diferente no nosso país de capitalismo dependente, a produção de mais-valia absoluta é, muito mais importante, sendo a superexploração uma característica estrutural.

Published: July 2023

The objective of the current research was to identify and evaluate the possibility of production of pectinase, also known as pectin degrading enzymes, from indigenous bacterial strains. Qualitative screening of isolated bacterial strains showed that among 29 bacterial strains, 5 have maximum enzymatic activity. The highest pectinase producing strains were quantitatively analyzed for enzyme production. SH7 strain was found as highest pectinase producer (0.77 IU/mL) that was further analyzed to molecular level by amplification of 16s rRNA. It was found 100% similar with other reported strains of Bacillus thuringiensis. Medium optimization was performed to optimize fermentation conditions for maximum enzyme yield. An experimental design containing 12 experimental runs was designed by Plackett–Burman design (PBD). Maximum pectinase activity was obtained at 45°C after 24 h when the growth medium was supplemented with 2.5% nitrogen, 5.0% substrate, MgSO4 as metal ion, 1% inoculum size, and pH was adjusted to 6. Factorial regression analysis of the PBD design was performed and the overall design was also found significant in terms of R square value. In PBD, the most significant factors for production were temperature, pH, metal ion concentration, and nitrogen source. Central composite design (CCD) design consisting of 26 experimental runs was employed to optimize these four significant factors. The overall model summary showed maximum pectinase activity (19.2 IU/mL) at 37°C temperature, 0.08 NaCl, 1.7% nitrogen source, and pH 8.4. In CCD, NaCl, nitrogen source, and pH were also reported as significant factors by the Pareto chart, probability plots, and 3D interactions.
Experimental and numerical study on energy harvesting performance thermoelectric generator applied to a screw compressor
Authors: Kaliyannan Devarajan
Published: July 2023

In this paper, an experimental and numerical investigation of thermoelectric generator for energy harvesting performance of screw compressors has been studied. The sources of heat recovery from compressors are recognized and a heat exchanger to mount the Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) module assembly is designed to adapt for implementation in this work. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to find out the temperature distribution in the heat exchanger and experimental work is carried out to validate CFD results. The heat exchangers, consisting of five TEG modules, temperature profile and voltage value have been studied numerically and experimentally. The parametric study has been studied to understand the influence of various system parameters on energy harvesting performance TEG based heat exchanger. An average of 1.6 V is generated by each TEG module and heat exchanger consists of five TEG and an average of 8 V is generated continuously by the heat exchanger. Also, it is proved that the usages of steel foam with 90 % porosity in heat exchanger improves the heat transfer rate and maximize the output from 8 V to 24 V in heat exchanger.

Published: July 2023

Crop plant breeding involves selecting and developing new plant varieties with desirable traits such as increased yield, improved disease resistance, and enhanced nutritional value. With the development of high-throughput technologies, such as genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, crop breeding has entered a new era. However, to effectively use these technologies, integration of multi-omics data from different databases is required. Integration of omics data provides a comprehensive understanding of the biological processes underlying plant traits and their interactions. This review highlights the importance of integrating omics databases in crop plant breeding, discusses available omics data and databases, describes integration challenges, and highlights recent developments and potential benefits. Taken together, the integration of omics databases is a critical step towards enhancing crop plant breeding and improving global food security.

Unfortunately, It is known that ISTA converges quite slowly, and a faster alternative to ISTA is the projected gradient (PG) method.
Nevertheless, the current applicability of the PG method is limited to linear inverse problems.

Performance investigation for the WDM-passive optical network using multicarrier source
Authors: Luay Ibrahim , Mansour Tahreer Safa’a
Published: July 2023

In this article, the comb wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (Comb WDM-PON) system has been simulated. Simulation models were created in VPI photonics. The proposed system employs 140 Gbps for seven comb lines. Analytical modelling and simulations are performed for a flat comb source with seven comb lines, variable channel spacing, and a center wavelength. As a result, the performance of the comb WDM-PON system that utilizes a single differential Mach–Zehnder (DiffMZ) modulator comb source is also investigated using different comb line numbers. The total capacity of the system increases as the number of comb lines increases. However, the system performance is degraded. Data rates of 80 Gbit/s can be achieved at the threshold bit error rate of BER (1 × 10−9), over a transmission distance of 200 km using 4 comb lines with a multi-diagonal (MD) code for 4 OLTs.
Mechanical and tribological behavior of a hybrid WC and Al2O3 reinforced Al–4Gr composite
Authors: Değirmenci Ünal
Published: July 2023

The development of aluminum (Al) based composites has been an interesting subject to sustain technological developments in the defense, automotive, and aerospace industries. In this study, the microstructure, mechanical, and tribological performances of hybrid Al composites reinforced with fixed ratio (4 %) graphite (Gr) and two different reinforcement materials such as tungsten carbide (WC) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) at different ratios were investigated. The impact of hybrid reinforcement and its ratios on the relative density value and hardness performance were investigated. The results of three different loads (1, 2, and 3 N) and three different sliding distances (200, 300, and 400 m) on wear performance were analyzed using Taguchi’s L18 experimental design. High relative density (94.39 %) and hardness (74.26) values were achieved by hot pressing. It has been determined that hybrid reinforcements have positive effects on wear performance. The lowest SWR value was recorded as 7.82 × 10−5 mm3/N.m in composite no Al-6. As the applied load raised, the friction coefficients decreased. On the other hand, the sliding distance and the increased applied load caused the temperatures to rise. With Al–4Gr/WC–Al2O3 composite material, a new AMMC has been presented to the literature, which has remarkable hardness and wear properties, and can show better ductility and machinability compared to equivalent materials.
Is there a geographic and gender divide in Europe regarding the biopsychosocial approach to pain research? An evaluation of the 12th EFIC congress
Authors: Koop Meghan A. , Benson Andrea C. , Reneman Michiel F. , Scholten-Peeters Gwendolyne G.M. , Coppieters Michel W.
Published: July 2023

Objectives

All pain research combined advances the different domains of the biopsychosocial model and its interactions. However, there may be discrepancies between individual countries in their biomedical, psychological or social focus to pain research. As a proxy for this possible discrepancy, we analysed the biopsychosocial orientation of presentations at a recent major international pain conference.

Methods

The primary aim was to investigate whether there are geographical differences across Europe regarding the biopsychosocial orientation of workshop presentations at the 12th EFIC congress. The secondary aim was to investigate whether there were differences between female and male presenters regarding the biopsychosocial focus of their presentations. All available workshop abstracts were blinded and categorised by two independent reviewers as biomedical, psychosocial, biopsychosocial, or not applicable. Psychosocial and biopsychosocial were merged to non-biomedical.

Results

Of the 140 available abstracts, 126 abstracts could be categorised (biomedical: 51 %; non-biomedical: 49 %). Three clusters of countries emerged: (1) countries with a clear majority (≥80 %) of non-biomedical presentations (The Netherlands and Belgium); (2) countries with a balance between biomedical and non-biomedical presentations (United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland); and (3) countries with a clear majority (71–100 %) of biomedical presentations (Italy, Germany, Switzerland and France). Overall, women delivered more presentations than men (70 vs. 56 presentations), and delivered proportionally more non-biomedical presentations (57 %) whereas men delivered proportionally more biomedical presentations (61 %).

Conclusions

Analysis of the 12th EFIC congress revealed geographical and gender differences in biopsychosocial orientation. Whether this reflects established differences in pain research requires further investigation.
„Úgy nézek ki, mint Bernard Shaw?” Egy geográfus és a Nobel-díj – Cholnoky Jenő 1933. évi svédországi és norvégiai útja
Authors:   István Báthory Sportschool Primary School of Veszprém, Rybár Olivér
Published: July 2023

Geographer, Jenő Cholnoky (1870–1950) visited Scandinavian countries three times during his life. During his first trip, between July 7–26, 1901. reached Finland, then in 1910 he travelled on the Scandinavian peninsula. He did not give a lecture at that time. The outstanding result of the year 1910 trip was a week of field research work spent on Spitsbergen (now Svalbard), where the conference audience of around 70 people toured the island together with local professional management. At the beginning of 1933, he reached Sweden and Norway again. He gave a total of four lectures in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Oslo. He spoke to the participants twice about the development of the Hungarian nation, and twice about the development of human cultures. His projected readings took place with great interest and press coverage. After his travel to Sweden and his autobiographical memoir, the legend about the scientist’s alleged nomination for the Nobel Prize took off. The veracity of these stories can now be refuted. The detailed description of his 1933 trip has not been presented before, the reconstruction of the trip was aided by previously unknown materials from the scientist’s legacy.

Published: July 2023

Objective: the present study aimed to evaluate attitudes and knowledge in the prevention of pressure injury, from a sample of Portuguese Nursing students. Method: a quantitative, cross-sectional study was used. The sampling technique was non-probabilistic and by convenience with 100 students. The “Attitude Towards Pressure Injury” scale and the “Pressure Injury Knowledge Assessment Tool” were applied through an electronic questionnaire. Results: students have, on average, positive attitudes towards the prevention of pressure ulcers (mean 47.8), with a minimum value of 36 and a maximum value of 62. It is noteworthy that only in the obstacles factor are data above the mean value (10.4). Conclusions: the knowledge assessment of nurses and Nursing students allows for the identification of training needs and priorities, supporting the development of new strategies to improve the quality of preventive care for pressure injury.
PARAMETRICISMO: UMA ALTERNATIVA PARA MITIGAÇÃO DE RUPTURAS URBANAS?
Authors: Martins Iago Longue , Lyra Ana Paula Rabello , Gonçalves Simone Neiva Loures , Oliveira Melissa Ramos da Silva
Published: July 2023

As cidades contemporâneas são marcadas por rupturas que afetam tanto o espaço intraurbano quanto a interface cidade-natureza. Essas desarticulações decorrem de um processo de urbanização anti-sistêmico, no qual a cidade é vista de maneira segmentada e superposta aos fenômenos naturais, ao invés de interagir harmoniosamente com eles. Em contrapartida, observa-se a implementação de tecnologias paramétricas em projetos urbanísticos, as quais, dentre as suas premissas, abordam a interarticulação de subsistemas, que, em um primeiro momento, aparenta ser um contraponto às desarticulações supracitadas. Assim, este artigo objetiva analisar em que medida o parametricismo pode contribuir para reflexões acerca das possibilidades de mitigação das rupturas urbanas. Em termos teóricos, autores como Montaner, Schumacher e Vidler são referências basilares. Com o apoio de abordagens teóricas contemporâneas e do seu confronto com a condição atual da urbe, o artigo contribui com as discussões sobre a implementação das tecnologias digitais como suporte à prática da arquitetura e urbanismo.Palavras-chave: rupturas urbanas, parametricismo, urbanismo paramétrico, tecnologias digitais.

Published: July 2023

A análise apresentada neste texto tem como pauta a discussão sobre plano diretor, patrimônio histórico e planejamento urbano na pequena cidade de Cachoeira/Bahia, tombada pelo IPHAN (Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional) em 1971. Observamos, em função da desatualização, que o Plano Diretor elaborado em 2006 não trata de atividades e ações em curso, assim como se aproxima das discussões sobre o patrimônio. Ao invés disto, as melhorias das condições de moradia ou do próprio patrimônio histórico tombado cedem lugar à exacerbação da sua vocação turística através de projetos que associam o espaço patrimonializado a um parque temático. Como a população local é o grupo menos informado sobre os processos de planejamento urbano, realizamos diversas oficinas com a comunidade para construir instrumentos teóricos e práticos que possibilitassem sua participação nas discussões que se arrastam por anos sobre um novo Plano Diretor.Palavras-chave: planejamento urbano, plano diretor, patrimônio, cidades patrimonializadas, Cachoeira/BA.
A CRIAÇÃO DE NOVAS CENTRALIDADES PARA SOCIABILIDADE URBANA EM CIDADES MENORES: O CASO DE LAPA-PR
Authors: Maynardes Dallabona Fariniuk Tharsila , Portella Deda Beatriz
Published: July 2023

A promoção da sociabilidade urbana, especialmente em cidades menores, é um desafio. Nesses locais há tendências de centralização das funções urbanas. Porém, expansões urbanas e demográficas geram constantes redefinições das configurações territoriais, o que exige reinterpretação das centralidades. Esse estudo objetiva discutir a sociabilidade urbana em cidades menores a partir da criação de novas centralidades, tomando como referência o caso de Lapa-PR, peculiar por associar demandas de expansão à consolidação histórica. A pesquisa define-se como um estudo de caso exploratório. A análise iniciou o preenchimento de lacunas sobre a temática no dado recorte, e possibilitou explorar a questão da convivência urbana nos espaços públicos sob a ótica do planejamento para vitalidade urbana. Foi possível caracterizar no recorte os elementos que sugerem a necessidade de novos espaços de convivência, a partir da comparação entre o atual prognóstico e novas estratégias de planejamento aprovadas em 2020, à luz de teorias sobre centralidades urbanas.Palavras-chave: sociabilidade urbana, cidades pequenas, centralidades urbanas, Lapa/PR.

PESQUISA DE GEOGRAFIA ECONÔMICA EM PEQUENAS CIDADES: UMA PERSPECTIVA METODOLÓGICA
Authors: Saggiorato Bruno
Published: July 2023

Tomando como pressuposto geral a complexa formação social brasileira, o país apresenta uma heterogeneidade geográfica nada pequena. Desta forma, é necessário entender como os processos gerais se articulam, concreta e espacialmente, com Formações Sócio-Espaciais (FSEs) regionais, e, a partir disso, identificar que atributos essa combinação gera, quais fenômenos novos emanam dessa relação, desencadeando diferenciações geoeconômicas entre regiões/municípios. Destarte, com base no setor industrial do pequeno município de Ampére-PR, o objetivo do artigo é sistematizar aportes teóricos e elementos fundamentais à compreensão de uma cidade considerada pequena. Recorre-se à pesquisa bibliográfica, como os estudos de Fresca (2001; 2009; 2010) e Santos (1977; 1979; 1993; 2004). Do ponto de vista teórico, argumenta-se que a união da categoria de FSE (SANTOS, 1977) com a de Combinações Geográficas (CHOLLEY, 1964), forma um aporte com grande potencial para alcançar a essência de um determinado fenômeno pesquisado.
