Exploring the Spatial Variation Characteristics and Influencing Factors of PM2.5 Pollution in China: Evidence from 289 Chinese Cities
Authors: Zhao Shen , Xu Yong
Published: August 2019

Haze pollution has become an urgent environmental problem due to its impact on the environment as well as human health. PM2.5 is one of the core pollutants which cause haze pollution in China. Existing studies have rarely taken a comprehensive view of natural environmental conditions and socio-economic factors to figure out the cause and diffusion mechanism of PM2.5 pollution. This paper selected both natural environmental conditions (precipitation (PRE), wind speed (WIN), and terrain relief (TR)) and socio-economic factors (human activity intensity of land surface (HAILS), the secondary industry’s proportion (SEC), and the total particulate matter emissions of motor vehicles (VE)) to analyze the effects on the spatial variation of PM2.5 concentrations. Based on the spatial panel data of 289 cities in China in 2015, we used spatial statistical methods to visually describe the spatial distribution characteristics of PM2.5 pollution; secondly, the spatial agglomeration state of PM2.5 pollution was characterized by Moran’s I; finally, several regression models were used to quantitatively analyze the correlation between PM2.5 pollution and the selected explanatory variables. Results from this paper confirm that in 2015, most cities in China suffered from severe PM2.5 pollution, and only 17.6% of the sample cities were up to standard. The spatial agglomeration characteristics of PM2.5 pollution in China were particularly significant in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region. Results from the global regression models suggest that WIN exerts the most significant effects on decreasing PM2.5 concentration (p < 0.01), while VE is the most critical driver of increasing PM2.5 concentration (p < 0.01). Results from the local regression model show reliable evidence that the relation between PM2.5 concentrations and the explanatory variables varied differently over space. VE is the most critical factor that influences PM2.5 concentrations, which means controlling motor vehicle pollutant emissions is an effective measure to reduce PM2.5 pollution in Chinese cities.

The Brazilian Cerrado fauna shows very wide diversity and can be a potential viral reservoir. Therefore, the animal’s susceptibility to some virus can serve as early warning signs of potential human virus diseases. Moreover, the wild animal virome of this biome is unknown. Based on this scenario, high-throughput sequencing contributes a robust tool for the identification of known and unknown virus species in this environment. In the present study, faeces samples from cerrado birds (Psittacara leucophthalmus, Amazona aestiva, and Sicalis flaveola) and mammals (Didelphis albiventris, Sapajus libidinosus, and Galictis cuja) were collected at the Veterinary Hospital, University of Brasília. Viral nucleic acid was extracted, submitted to random amplification, and sequenced by Illumina HiSeq platform. The reads were de novo assembled, and the identities of the contigs were evaluated by Blastn and tblastx searches. Most viral contigs analyzed were closely related to bacteriophages. Novel archaeal viruses of the Smacoviridae family were detected. Moreover, sequences of members of Adenoviridae, Anelloviridae, Circoviridae, Caliciviridae, and Parvoviridae families were identified. Complete and nearly complete genomes of known anelloviruses, circoviruses, and parvoviruses were obtained, as well as putative novel species. We demonstrate that the metagenomics approach applied in this work was effective for identification of known and putative new viruses in faeces samples from Brazilian Cerrado fauna.
Understudied Factors Influencing Fc-Mediated Immune Responses against Viral Infections
Authors: Anand Sai Priya , Finzi Andrés
Published: August 2019

Antibodies play a crucial role in host defense against viruses, both by preventing infection and by controlling viral replication. Besides their capacity to neutralize viruses, antibodies also exert their antiviral effects by crystallizable fragment (Fc)-mediated effector mechanisms. This involves a bridge between innate and adaptive immune systems, wherein antibodies form immune complexes that drive numerous innate immune effector functions, including antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, antibody-dependent complement-mediated lysis, and antibody-dependent phagocytosis. Here, we review certain mechanisms that modulate these antibody-mediated effector functions against virally infected cells, such as viral glycoprotein shedding, viral glycoprotein internalization, antibody cooperativity, and antibody glycosylation. These mechanisms can either protect viral replication or enhance infected cell clearance. Here we discuss the importance of these understudied factors in modulating Fc-mediated effector functions.

Published: August 2019

Silicosis, caused by the inhalation of crystalline silicon dioxide or silica, is one of the most severe occupational diseases. Persistent inflammation and progressive massive pulmonary fibrosis are the most common histological changes caused by silicosis. Association of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of hyperplastic type II epithelial cells with the fibrotic events of pulmonary fibrosis has been suggested in in vitro silica-exposed cultured cell models, patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and bleomycin-induced experimental models. Histological features of EMT, however, are not fully described in silicotic lungs in in vivo. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate EMT of hyperplastic type II epithelial cells in the developmental process of progressive massive pulmonary fibrosis in the lungs of rats exposed to silica. F344 female rats were intratracheally instilled with 20 mg of crystalline silica (Min-U-Sil-5), followed by sacrifice at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after instillation. Fibrosis, characterized by the formation of silicotic nodules, progressive massive fibrosis, and diffuse interstitial fibrosis, was observed in the lungs of the treated rats; the effects of fibrosis intensified in a time-dependent manner. Hyperplasia of the type II epithelial cells, observed in the massive fibrotic lesions, dominated in the lungs of rats at 6 and 12 months after the treatment. Immunohistochemistry of the serial sections of the lung tissues demonstrated positive labeling for cytokeratin, vimentin, and α-smooth muscle actin in spindle cells close to the foci of hyperplasia of type II epithelial cells. Spindle cells, which exhibited features of both epithelial cells and fibroblasts, were also demonstrated with bundles of collagen fibers in the fibrotic lesions, using electron microscopy. Increased expression of TGF-β was shown by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry in the lungs of the treated rats. These findings suggested that enhanced TGF-β expression and EMT of hyperplastic type II epithelial cells are involved in the development process of progressive massive pulmonary fibrosis during silicosis.
O NEGRO E A CIDADE: UM ESTUDO NO BAIRRO DOM BOSCO EM JUIZ DE FORA (MG)
Authors: Barreto Ana Claudia de Jesus , Barcellos Warllon de Souza
Published: August 2019

O presente trabalho pretende discutir sobre a racialização do espaço urbano, como uma das expressões do racismo ambiental, haja vista que é no chão do território que se constata a trajetória de espoliação que a população negra é submetida pela classe dominante e o Estado é uma figura que ratifica e impõe a condição por baixo, através da violência, desconsiderando a sua condição humana e repetindo a história do castigo do corpo pelo viés da inferiorização. A senzala do século XXI são as favelas e as áreas de desastres ambientais! Para a análise do problema exposto o bairro Dom Bosco foi escolhido para estudo, devido a forte presença de moradores negros e a vulnerabilidade ambiental que estão expostos. Além da pesquisa bibliográfica e das fontes secundárias, realizou-se uma entrevista semi-estruturada com os moradores e também foram utilizados os mapas das áreas de risco ambiental elaborados pela Defesa Civil de Juiz de Fora. Isto posto, conclui-se que o lugar dos negros na cidade será sempre o lugar da ilegalidade, do risco ambiental, da violência, da ausência do poder público que reforça o estigma da cor e da permanência moderna das senzalas, que passaram a ser - as favelas, os assentamentos precários.
INTERVENÇÕES URBANAS NA CIDADE DO RIO DE JANEIRO DURANTE AS JORNADAS DE JUNHO/JULHO DE 2013
Authors: Baptista Marília Carolina Asterito
Published: August 2019

Este artigo tem como objetivo trazer indícios sobre quem são os indivíduos que participaram das Jornadas de Junho/Julho de 2013 a partir das intervenções urbanas de Tavarez na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. É a partir da analise dessas intervenções - sejam feitas nos ônibus ou na sua propagação na página do Facebook -  e de uma entrevista com o seu criador que é possível identificar marcadores sociais que compuseram esse momento heterogêneo da luta política. Sendo assim, Tavarez é utilizado aqui como um instrumento que torna mais clara a compreensão sobre quem eram esses personagens que compuseram as Jornadas, quais as disputas que estavam em questão e sobre como o contexto em que se vive interfere no que é produzido na esfera artístico em suas mais diversas formas.
As metáforas do jornalismo: identidades implícitas para uma profissão mutante
Authors: Amado Adriana
Published: August 2019

As funções sociais do jornalismo como profissão mudam de acordo com quem constrói o seu significado. Quando a pesquisa acadêmica qualitativa analisa as notícias, o jornalismo é entendido como um produto textual. Quando um político acusa a imprensa de não refletir exatamente o que aconteceu, espera-se que o jornalismo seja um espelho da realidade social. Conteúdo, espelho, registro histórico, serviço público, cada um expressa diferentes maneiras de construir os papéis do jornalismo. São metáforas da linguagem cotidiana que mostram cristalizações lingüísticas que geralmente aparecem em diferentes idiomas. No entanto, muitas dessas metáforas não expressam as importantes mudanças pelas quais o jornalismo contemporâneo está passando. Este ensaio analisa metáforas universais associadas ao jornalismo e marcas de mídia bastante conhecidas e faz uma reflexão sobre se essas metáforas, que foram universalizadas em um período diferente, irão descrever os papéis do jornalismo no futuro.
Jornalismo na Colômbia: antecedentes, papéis e influências da “melhor profissão do mundo”
Authors: Arroyave Jesús , Garcés Miguel
Published: August 2019

Este artigo tem dois objetivos principais: primeiro, com base em uma revisão histórica e contextual, traça algumas características definidoras do jornalismo colombiano. O segundo propósito, com base nos dados e nas principais conclusões da segunda fase do projeto Worlds of Jornalism Study (WJS), analisa variáveis ainda não exploradas em estudos empíricos no contexto colombiano, como papéis e influências dos jornalistas nas redações. Os resultados mostram que o jornalismo colombiano tem um forte componente partidário, intimamente ligado às elites políticas e econômicas do país. Entre os papéis identificados pelos jornalistas colombianos estão: reportar objetivamente, promover a tolerância e contribuir para a mudança social. Essa incongruência pode ser explicada pelas influências organizacionais significativas que os jornalistas percebem na forma de pressão de editores, políticas editoriais e proprietários de mídia. Possibilidades de futuros estudos comparados são sugeridas na seção final do artigo. A metodologia é descritiva e baseada na análise de documentos históricos e em pesquisa com jornalistas nas redações. A fase documental consistiu na leitura de fontes secundárias de documentos históricos, incluindo livros de jornalistas, jornais e artigos acadêmicos. A pesquisa empírica usou informações coletadas pelo projeto WJS na Colômbia e aplicando duas escalas confiáveis: a Escala de Influência de Jornalismo Percebido (EIP) e a Escala de Papel Percebido de Jornalismo (ERP).
Feminicídio adulto e enunciação jornalística: o caso de Paola (Peru)
Authors: Kanashiro Lilian , Yap Lucía
Published: August 2019

O feminicídio geralmente é conceituado como o assassinato de uma mulher atribuído a motivos de gênero (HERNÁNDEZ-BREÑA, 2016). No entanto, essa definição traz algum grau de confusão. À primeira vista, não está claro o que é uma razão de gênero ou o que diferencia o feminicídio de outros homicídios. Portanto, faremos uma breve revisão histórica do termo e depois nos concentraremos em seu significado jurídico no Peru. Por fim, definiremos o conceito que será usado. Este artigo aborda a cobertura jornalística de notícias relacionadas ao feminicídio a partir de uma perspectiva sociossemiótica, especialmente a enunciação jornalística. Depois das várias etapas para a seleção do objeto estudamos em profundidade o caso de Paola Peralta como corpus de análise. Embora se saiba que existe uma onda de interesse e de preocupação com a violência de gênero, que reconhece as várias formas de violência contra a mulher, pouco se tem produzido sobre as várias modalidades de enunciação desses eventos pelo jornalismo. Os resultados aqui apresentados indicam que a cobertura não é consonante com as estatísticas oficiais de feminicídio, uma vez que há mais cobertura de feminicídio não íntimo e, em menor medida, de feminicídio íntimo. Também encontramos discordâncias entre o discurso jornalístico e o discurso judicial, que dão origem a uma sensação de justiça incompleta. Concluímos que há necessidade de uma autorregulação da enunciação jornalística em casos de feminicídio.

SEMIOTIKA MITOLOGIS SEBUAH TINJAUAN AWAL BAGI ANALISIS SEMIOTIKA BARTHESIAN
Authors: Urfan Noveri Faikar
Published: August 2019

Roland Barthes is widely known as a semiotic figure who succeeded in renewing the thoughts of his predecessor Ferdinand de Saussure by introducing the concept of myth. Myth is a second level of signification system, which is built from reading the first level sign. Barthes considers that the reading of signs does not stop at the level of denotative meaning, but also needs to be directed to probe the connotative meaning that is hidden or which is often unconscious behind the object. Reading the signs to the level of myth is also an attempt to dismantle the existence of ideology. Ideology in the context of reading signs is interpreted as a forced meaning to be accepted as something natural. In the end, reading the signs in Roland Barthes's approach challenges us to apply them to reading contemporary objects such as advertising, photography, film and others. Sign readers are challenged to combine interpretive models on two levels, namely reading denotative meanings in reading language levels and connotative meanings in reading mythical levels.

Depressed Female Characters From Their Intimidated Surrounding as Seen in The Yellow Wallpaper By Charlotte Perkin Gilman’s, A Rose For Emily By William Faulkner’s, and The Story of an Hour By Kate Chopin
Authors: Miranda Cut Ruby , Helmita Helmita
Published: August 2019

In writing this thesis, the writer discusses the depression of women because of patriarchal traditions, even though they already know about women's rights and freedoms. This patriarchal tradition is that men hold full power over anything and women must always obey the rules of men. The women are required not to do any activities, in terms of education and employment. Women are only allowed to do homework. This applies to all women, both single and married. This began in the 90s, especially in the United States.
In writing the thesis, the writer uses psychological and feminist theories according to Sigmund Freud and Maggie Humm, who will explore the psychological side of women who are oppressed by the existence of this patriarchal custom. The purposes of this paper are: (1) To describe psychological-feminist cases in female characters (2) To analyze psychological-feminists in depressed female characters (3) To explain the psychological-feminist influence with female characters in the short story of The Yellow Wallpaper from Charlotte Perkins Gilman, A Rose For Emily from William Faulkner, The Story Of An Hour by Kate Chopin. The author uses descriptive qualitative methods in processing data. Through analysis of several existing sources and data.
Based on available data, the writer discover how the psychology of depressed female characters from their environment is intimidated based on the short story. In fact women can become depressed because their freedom of expression is hampered and prohibited by tradition. With the writing of this thesis, it is hoped that the public can find out what exactly the meaning of women's emancipation is without having to put down women or men.
α-Photooxygenation of chiral aldehydes with singlet oxygen
Authors: Walaszek Dominika J , Jawiczuk Magdalena , Durka Jakub , Drapała Olga , Gryko Dorota
Published: August 2019

Organocatalytic α-oxygenation of chiral aldehydes with photochemically generated singlet oxygen allows synthesizing chiral 3-substituted 1,2-diols. Stereochemical results indicate that the reaction in the presence of diarylprolinol silyl ethers is highly diastereoselective and that the configuration of a newly created stereocenter at the α-position depends predominantly on the catalyst structure. The absolute configuration of chiral 1,2-diols has been unambiguously established based on electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and TD-DFT methods.

circinelloides and its close relatives (Mucor circinelloides complex – MCC) is still based on morphology and mating behaviour. The aim of the present study was a revised taxonomy of the MCC using a polyphasic approach. Using a set of 100 strains molecular phylogenetic analysis
of five markers (ITS, rpb1, tsr1, mcm7, and cfs, introduced here) were performed, combined with phenotypic studies, mating tests and the determination of the maximum growth temperatures. The multi-locus analyses revealed 16 phylogenetic species of which 14 showed
distinct phenotypical traits and were recognised as discrete species. Five of these species are introduced as novel taxa: M. amethystinus sp. nov., M. atramentarius sp. nov., M. variicolumellatus sp. nov., M. pseudocircinelloides sp. nov., and M. pseudolusitanicus
sp. nov. The former formae of M. circinelloides represent one or two separate species. In the MCC, the simple presence of well-shaped zygospores only indicates a close relation of both strains, but not necessarily conspecificity. Seven species of the MCC have been implemented in human
infection: M. circinelloides, M. griseocyanus, M. janssenii, M. lusitanicus, M. ramosissimus, M. variicolumellatus, and M. velutinosus.

We present near-infrared spectroscopy of the sporadically active asteroid (6478) Gault collected on the 3 m NASA/Infrared Telescope Facility observatory in late 2019 March/early April. Long-exposure imaging with the 0.5 m Near Earth Environment Monitoring T05 telescope and previously published data simultaneously monitored the asteroid activity, providing context for our measurements. We confirm that Gault is a silicate-rich (Q- or S-type) object likely linked to the (25) Phocaea collisional family. The asteroid exhibits substantial spectral variability over the 0.75–2.45 μm wavelength range, from unusual blue (s′ = −13.5 ± 1.1% μm−1) to typical red (s′ = +9.1 ± 1.2% μm−1) spectral slope, that does not seem to correlate with activity. Spectral comparisons with samples of ordinary chondrite meteorites suggest that the blue color relates to the partial loss of the asteroid dust regolith, exposing a fresh, dust-free material at its surface. The existence of asteroids rotating close to rotational break-up limit and having similar spectral properties as Gault further supports this interpretation. Future spectroscopic observations of Gault, when the tails dissipate, will help further testing of our proposed hypothesis.

We present a likelihood profile stacking technique based on the Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT) data to explore the γ-ray characteristics of Fermi-LAT undetected astrophysical populations. The pipeline is applied to a sample of γ-ray unresolved extreme blazars, i.e., sources with the highest synchrotron peak frequencies (

), and we report a cumulative γ-ray detection with more than 32σ confidence for 2 degrees of freedom. Comparing the generated stacked γ-ray spectrum with the sensitivity limits of the upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), we find that the Fermi-LAT undetected population of such extreme blazars, on average, may remain well below the CTA detection threshold due to their faintness and extragalactic background light (EBL) absorption. However, γ-ray detected blazars belonging to the same class are promising candidates for CTA observations. The EBL-corrected stacked spectra of these sources do not show any softening up to 1 TeV. This finding suggests the inverse Compton peak of extreme blazars lies above 1 TeV, thus indicating a hard intrinsic TeV spectrum. Our analysis also predicts that at 100 GeV, at least ∼10% of the diffuse extragalactic γ-ray background originates from the γ-ray undetected extreme blazars. These results highlight the effectiveness of the developed stacking technique to explore the uncharted territory of γ-ray undetected astrophysical objects.
A Mass-accreting Gamma Doradus Pulsator with a Synchronized Core in Kepler Eclipsing Binary KIC 7385478

The short-period (P ≈ 1.7 days), Algol-type eclipsing binary KIC 7385478 consists of an F-type primary star (M
1 ≈ 1.71M
⊙) and an evolved K-type secondary (M
2 ≈ 0.37M
⊙). We study the variability of the Kepler light curve and attribute many frequency peaks in the Fourier spectrum to the spot modulation. These frequencies are in the form of orbital harmonics and are highly variable in amplitude. They are most likely from the mass-accreting primary star. In addition, we identify a series of prograde dipole g modes from the primary star that show a quasi-linear period spacing pattern and are very stable in amplitude. The period spacing pattern reveals an asymptotic period spacing value in agreement with fundamental parameters of the primary star and also implies that the near-convective-core rotation rate is almost the same as the orbital period. Thus, both the surface and the core of this Gamma Dor pulsator have synchronized with the binary orbit. We find that a lower stellar mass ≈1.50M
⊙ and higher effective temperature are needed in order to be compatible with the asteroseismic constraints from single-star evolutionary models.

Al based-Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites (HMMC) are becoming widely popular in the Automobile industry due to its highly attractive characteristics of enhanced hardness. The heterogeneous mixture formed due to the presence of reinforcement particles adds to the strength, wear resistance, hardness etc. to the specimen. In this research, fine ashes of bagasse (sugarcane), banana, and jute (coconut covering) were used, produced by burning the above in free atmosphere. The sample was sieve tested to 200 mesh size and ball milled in the presence of SiC with weight ratio of 1:2. Stir casting of the composite was performed in the melting furnace to produce different specimens of Al6061 consisting of different types of reinforcement. The specimens were then exposed to various tests to determine Ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, hardness, and percentage elongation. The best results termed out with the specimen reinforced with banana ash at the cost of loss in ductility exhibiting Ultimate tensile strength 115.4 MPa, Yield Strength 76.4 MPa, Vickers hardness 55-77 HV and Percentage elongation 21%.

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is a relatively common drug-induced immune disorder that can have life-threatening consequences for affected patients. Immune complexes consisting of heparin, platelet factor 4 (PF4), and PF4/heparin-reactive Abs are central to the pathogenesis of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Regulatory T (Treg) cells are a subpopulation of CD4 T cells that play a key role in regulating immune responses, but their role in controlling PF4/heparin-specific Ab production is unknown. In the studies described in this article, we found that Foxp3-deficient mice lacking functional Treg cells spontaneously produced PF4/heparin-specific Abs. Following transplantation with bone marrow cells from Foxp3-deficient but not wild-type mice, Rag1-deficient recipients also produced PF4/heparin-specific Abs spontaneously. Adoptively transferred Treg cells prevented spontaneous production of PF4/heparin-specific Abs in Foxp3-deficient mice and inhibited PF4/heparin complex–induced production of PF4/heparin-specific IgGs in wild-type mice. Treg cells suppress immune responses mainly through releasing anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-10. IL-10–deficient mice spontaneously produced PF4/heparin-specific Abs. Moreover, bone marrow chimeric mice with CD4 T cell–specific deletion of IL-10 increased PF4/heparin-specific IgG production upon PF4/heparin complex challenge. Short-term IL-10 administration suppresses PF4/heparin-specific IgG production in wild-type mice. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that Treg cells play an important role in suppressing PF4/heparin-specific Ab production.

IL-33, an IL-1 family cytokine, is constitutively expressed in mucosal tissues and other organs in healthy humans and animals, and expression levels increase in inflammatory conditions. Although IL-33–mediated promotion of type 2 immune responses has been well established, a gap in our knowledge regarding the functional diversity of this pleiotropic cytokine remains. To address this gap, we developed a new IL-33 transgenic mouse model in which overexpression of full-length IL-33 is induced in lung epithelial cells under conditional control. In adult mice, an ∼3-fold increase in the steady-state IL-33 levels produced no pathologic effects in the lungs. When exposed to airborne allergens, adult transgenic mice released more IL-33 extracellularly and exhibited robust type 2 immune responses. In neonatal transgenic mice, up to postnatal day 14, a similar increase in steady-state IL-33 levels resulted in increased mortality, enlarged alveolar spaces resembling bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and altered expression of genes associated with tissue morphogenesis. Processed 25-kDa IL-33 protein was detected in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids without any exogenous stimuli, and pathologic changes were abolished in mice deficient in the IL-33 receptor ST2. These findings suggest that adult lungs are relatively resistant to IL-33 overexpression unless they encounter environmental insults, whereas developing lungs are highly susceptible, with IL-33 overexpression resulting in detrimental and pathologic outcomes.

The authors report isolation and identification of two strains of bacteria belonging to the genus Janibacter from a human patient with aortic stenosis from a rural area of the country of Georgia. The microorganisms were isolated from aortic heart valve. Two isolates with slightly distinct colony morphologies were harvested after sub-culturing from an original agar plate. Preliminary identification of the isolates is based on amplification and sequencing of a fragment of 16SrRNA. Whole genome sequencing was performed using the Illumina MiSeq instrument. Both isolates were identified as undistinguished strains of the genus Janibacter. Characterization of whole genome sequences of each culture has revealed a 15% difference in gene profile between the cultures and confirmed that both strains belong to the genus Janibacter with the closest match to J. terrae. Genomic comparison of cultures of Janibacter obtained from human cases and from environmental sources presents a promising direction for evaluating a role of these bacteria as human pathogens.
