Efeitos de contingências culturais concorrentes na seleção de culturantes autocontrolados
Authors: De Almeida João Aristides Tomaz , Borba Aécio , Tourinho Emmanuel Zagoury
Published: January 2025

O debate como sociedades administram recursos implica considerar a dimensão de contingências concorrentes, sob as quais há vários comportamentos com consequências possíveis. Experimentos utilizaram a metacontingência para investigar autocontrole cultural. O presente trabalho verificou os efeitos de contingências culturais concorrentes na seleção de culturantes autocontrolados. 18 participantes foram distribuídos em seis microculturas com três participantes cada (MC 1 a MC 6). Utilizou-se o software Free Mtrix para coleta dos dados. A tarefa consistiu em escolhas de linhas enumeradas coloridas em uma figura. Quatro microculturas foram expostas ao delineamento experimental ABCABC, duas ao BACBAC. Respostas operantes (escolhas de linhas pares/ímpares) produziam uma ficha como consequência individual. Culturantes (combinações de três cores específicas) produziam consequências culturais. Na condição A culturantes 1 produziam fichas coletivas para o próprio grupo; na condição B culturantes 2 produziam itens escolares para membros externos ao grupo. Na condição C, a produção de culturantes 1/impulsivos concorria com a produção de culturantes 2/autocontrolados. Caracterizando a concorrência: fichas coletivas versus itens escolares. Culturantes autocontrolados ocorreram de maneira ‘‘levemente’’ superior aos culturantes impulsivos (primeira e segunda condição C da MC1; primeira C da MC3) e de maneira expressiva (primeira e segunda C nas MC2 e MC5; segunda C da MC3). Culturantes autocontrolados oscilaram em ocorrência (primeira C da MC6) e alternaram a ocorrência com culturantes impulsivos (segundas condições C da MC4 e MC6). Assim, o desempenho do grupo pode ser diferencialmente afetado, a depender de quem acessa as consequências culturais produzidas. Espera-se que os achados contribuam para compreender o fenômeno do autocontrole cultural. Palavras-chave: Autocontrole, Concorrência, Seleção Cultural, Metacontingência.

Authors: De Lima Elton Silva , Ferreira Layse Maria dos Santos , Marques Leonardo Brandão , Da Silveira Marcelo Vitor , De Albuquerque Suzana Cinthia Silva Oliveira
Published: January 2025

Análise e avaliação funcional do comportamento são procedimentos utilizados para gerar dados acerca da função dos comportamentos-problema e subsidiar intervenções comportamentais. Esses procedimentos podem ser úteis no contexto da educação, uma vez que, tanto estudantes neurotípicos quanto estudantes com desenvolvimento atípico, podem apresentar problemas de comportamento. Estudos apontam que profissionais diversos, sem formação em Análise do Comportamento, podem aprender esses procedimentos por meio de treinamentos específicos. Assim, a presente revisão sistemática investigou, utilizando os critérios de revisão do modelo PRISMA, de que forma a análise e a avaliação funcional vêm sendo ensinadas para profissionais da educação. Um total de 17 artigos foram analisados. Os resultados apontam uso recorrente de estratégias baseadas em feedback, uso de vídeos, modelagem e utilização de softwares com mais eficácia do que métodos tradicionais de ensino. Apesar disso, ainda são abundantes procedimentos mais convencionais, como palestras, aulas expositivas e workshops, mas geralmente dentro de um pacote em conjunto com outros procedimentos. Como orientações futuras, sugere-se ampliar a pesquisa sobre o tema com ênfase em procedimentos que combinem uso de vídeos, feedbacks e softwares com outros procedimentos de ensino amplamente utilizados no campo da Análise do Comportamento.Palavras-chave: análise funcional, avaliação funcional, comportamento, educação, educadores.

Studies with bees typically observe one response to the experimental apparatus per visit, as the bee returns to the hive after filling its honey vesicle. This reduces the sample of the behavior of interest, posing analytical and methodological challenges for studying certain processes. The present study aimed to explore a procedure and its theoretical analysis to promote larger samples of behavior per visit in an experimental chamber. The procedure consisted of fractionating the amount of syrup consumed to increase the number of bar-press responses per visit by Melipona quadrifasciataanthidioides stingless bees. Experimental subjects were taught to press a bar for access to a 30-s syrup solution (average time to fill the honey vesicle). Once stability was achieved, the syrup was fractionated (i.e., reduced) based on duration. Durations of 6, 10, 15, and 30 s were applied as consequences for bar pressing. When syrup access was fractionated, experimental subjects continued responding to the bar during the same visit, returning to the hive after vesicle filling. Fractionation of access to syrup increased the response rate. We suggest that manipulating the duration of syrup introduces a second-order schedule, similar to a token system. This exploration has implications for behavioral management in experiments aimed at investigating operant behavior in meliponas bees.Keywords: automated equipment, bar-press response, bees (Melipona quadrifasciata anthidiodes), duration reinforcement, second-order schedule.

Authors: Dos Santos Alessandra Cristina , Gusso Helder Lima
Published: January 2025

Trabalhar como professor exige diversas habilidades, incluindo programar ensino. As pesquisas sobre Programação de Condições para Desenvolver Comportamentos (PCDC) evidenciam seu potencial como tecnologia útil para apoiar práticas educativas. Contudo, se faz necessário criar recursos que possibilitem que a PCDC seja mais acessível ao contexto educacional. Diante disso, neste trabalho foram realizados dois estudos. O primeiro objetivou o desenvolvimento de um checklist para orientar as decisões de professores no processo de programar ensino. Para isso, foram identificados os principais conceitos, fundamentos e procedimentos envolvidos em programar ensino na literatura em PCDC para orientar o desenvolvimento do checklist. O instrumento foi avaliado por especialistas em PCDC. O segundo estudo objetivou avaliar o efeito do checklist desenvolvido sobre o comportamento de estudantes de pós-graduação stricto-sensu ao avaliar um plano de ensino. Para isso, foi utilizado o delineamento experimental, com comparação entre grupos em uma atividade de avaliar um plano de ensino: 1) Sem Ajuda; ou 2) Com checklist. Ao final, o desempenho apresentado pelos participantes de cada grupo em relação a avaliação do plano de ensino foi comparado a fim de se avaliar o efeito do uso do checklist.Os resultados indicaram que o checklist ajudou no processo de avaliar o plano de ensino, auxiliando na identificação das principais etapas para planejar ensino de acordo com a PCDC. O instrumento foi avaliado com alto grau de coerência com os princípios da PCDC e fácil de utilizar, podendo ser um instrumento útil para auxiliar profissionais no processo de programar ensino em diferentes contextos. Palavras-chave: programação de ensino, design instrucional, programação de condições para densevolver comportamentos, formação de professores.

Uma geohistória do Sudeste Paraense a partir dos vetores econômicos hegemônicos: borracha, castanha, pecuária, extração madeireira e mineração
Authors: Lobato Mateus Monteiro , Campos Raíssa Langer , Morais Kethelen Alves de
Published: January 2025

A ocupação do espaço Amazônico a partir da chegada do colonizador foi estruturada a partir de vetores econômicos hegemônicos. No Sudeste Paraense, esses vetores foram a borracha, a castanha, a pecuária, a extração madeireira e a mineração. Nesse artigo, analisaremos a instituição destes vetores ao longo do tempo, mas sob um prisma geohistórico. Nossos procedimentos metodológicos estão agrupados em três etapas: revisão da literatura, produção cartográfica e análise dos resultados. Em nosso olhar, percebemos que a ocupação dessa região se estabeleceu a partir da exploração dos recursos naturais. A despeito de que seja possível estabelecer uma continuidade produtiva, vimos também que a resistência social impõe conflitos que configuram um arranjo espacial particular a essa produção do espaço.

Published: January 2025

Objective/Background. Corn tortillas are a staple food in México that have a shelf life of 1-2 days at 25 °C due to fungal growth. A natural alternative for controlling fungal growth is clove essential oil (AEC) and its major components: eugenol (E), isoeugenol (I), and eugenyl acetate (AE). Objective: to evaluate the antifungal effect of AEC on the identified fungi present in corn tortillas. Materials and Methods. One kg samples of corn tortillas were obtained from the capitals of five states of Mexico (Sonora, Nuevo León, Michoacán, Oaxaca y Yucatán). Fungi were identified by their morphology and molecular biology. Moreover, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against AEC was determined. The effect of E, I, and AE on Aspergillus niger was evaluated with the Gompertz model. Results. Two fungi were isolated from corn tortillas purchased in Nuevo León, Sonora, Yucatán, and Michoacán, and one fungus from those purchased in Oaxaca. The following fungi were identified by molecular biology in corn tortillas: Aspergillus longivesica and Curvularia spicifera from Nuevo León; Aspergillus niger and Penicillium brevicompactum from Sonora; Aspergillus sp. from Oaxaca; Mucor sp. and Aspergillus flavus from Yucatán; Penicillium herquei and Curvularia racemosus from Michoacán. The MICs were 200, 400, 800, 400, 800, 400, 800, 800, and 400 µg mL-1, respectively. AEC, E, and I at a concentration of 800 µg mL-1 delayed the growth exponential phase of Aspergillus niger, while AE did not show any effect. Conclusion. AEC could be a natural alternative for prolonging the corn tortillas′ shelf life.

Published: January 2025

Teniendo en cuenta la susceptibilidad que poseen los tanques cilíndricos verticales de acero, ubicados en instalaciones industriales, de sufrir algún nivel de daño ante la ocurrencia de sismos de gran magnitud; y dada la ausencia en la República de Cuba de un código de diseño que permita el análisis hidrodinámico de este tipo de estructuras. En el presente trabajo se evalúan los resultados del análisis realizado a un tanque cilíndrico vertical de acero, ubicado en la zona suroriental de Cuba, específicamente, en la provincia de Santiago de Cuba; el cual es sometido a excitación sísmica horizontal, tomando como referencia los códigos de diseño API-650 (2013) y SDST NZSEE (2009), a partir de los parámetros que caracterizan la peligrosidad sísmica de la República de Cuba, establecidos en la NC 46:2017. Dicho análisis se realiza con el objetivo de poder comparar las variaciones que se producen entre los parámetros fundamentales de diseño, permitiendo concluir que, las principales diferencias observadas, se deben en lo fundamental a: (1) modelo mecánico utilizado, (2) filosofía de diseño, (3) amortiguamiento respecto al crítico de los modos, (4) coeficientes de aceleración, (5) combinación de la respuesta, entre otros aspectos.
Lower Devonian lithostratigraphy of Belgium
Authors: DENAYER Julien , MOTTEQUIN Bernard
Published: January 2025

The revision of the lithostratigraphic scale of southern Belgium, based on the revised Geological Map of Wallonia and recent stratigraphic and sedimentological works lead to the re-definition of 75 lithostratigraphic units for the Lower Devonian Series. Most of the units described in the present paper are classical subdivisions of the lithostratigraphic scale but updates on their definition, boundaries and age are provided here. New terms are introduced for remarkable beds and facies. Groups are introduced to gather formations than are rarely separated on geological maps whereas some units previously described as formations are here retrograded to members. The dominant lithologies of the Lower Devonian of Belgium reflect siliciclastic sedimentation in various depositional settings ranging from fluviatile conglomerate to estuarine and deltaic sandstone, tidal siltstone and distal delta-front shale on the southern margin of the London–Brabant Massif and around other Caledonian inliers (e.g. Rocroi, Stavelot–Venn). The vertical succession and lateral correlation of the lithostratigraphic units allow to reconstruct the evolution of the shallow basin from the latest Silurian (Pridoli) to the latest Emsian.
Middle Devonian lithostratigraphy of Belgium

Published: January 2025

The revision of the lithostratigraphic scale of southern Belgium, based on the revised geological map of Wallonia and recent stratigraphic and sedimentological works, has led to the re-definition of 63 lithostratigraphic units for the Middle Devonian Series. Although most of the units described in the present overview are classical subdivisions of the Belgian lithostratigraphic scale, updates on their definition, boundaries and age were required and are provided herein. New terms are introduced for remarkable beds and facies. Groups are introduced to gather formations that are difficult to separate on geological maps, whereas some previously described formations are here retrograded to member status. The Middle Devonian units recorded the development of the carbonate factory in the Eifelian, interrupted by siliciclastic deposits followed by the development of a wide carbonate shelf during the Givetian. Reefs occur both in the Eifelian (offshore bioherms, biostromes on platforms) and in the Givetian (biostromes).
The vertical succession and lateral correlation of the lithostratigraphic units allow to reconstruct the evolution of the shelf from the early Eifelian to the demise of the carbonate shelf at the end of the Givetian.
Upper Devonian lithostratigraphy of Belgium
Authors: MOTTEQUIN Bernard , DENAYER Julien , DELCAMBRE Bernard , MARION Jean-Marc , POTY Eddy
Published: January 2025

The lithostratigraphic scale of Belgium, which is the cradle of several global Devonian stages, has been revised after completion of the update of the Geological Map of Wallonia (Carte géologique de Wallonie) at a scale of 1/25,000 and recent stratigraphic and sedimentological research. As a result, 100 lithostratigraphic units (groups, formations, members, facies, horizons) for the Upper Devonian Series have been re-defined. Whereas most of the units discussed in this overview are traditional divisions of the Belgian lithostratigraphic scale, this update includes revisions to their definitions, boundaries, and ages. New terms have been introduced essentially for notable horizons and facies. Additionally, some previously described formations have been reclassified as members as they are difficult to distinguish and separate on geological maps. The Frasnian lithostratigraphic units reflect the development of mixed argillaceous-carbonate deposits during the major transgressions that culminated at the end of the stage. This was followed by the gradual emergence of littoral siliciclastic facies that took place during the Famennian regression. Re-installation of carbonate deposits was recorded during the latest Famennian (Strunian transgression), heralding the lower Carboniferous carbonate succession to come. Reefs occur in the Frasnian (buildups, mud mounds, biostromes) and their presence in the middle Famennian is remarkable.

Authors: Alwathoni Mahbub , Saputro Sulistyo , Yamtinah Sri , Masykuri Mohammad , Suwahono Suwahono
Published: January 2025

This study explores the effectiveness of a MOOC-based Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in enhancing chemical literacy across three dimensions—content, procedural, and epistemic knowledge—among grade 10 high school students. Employing an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, the research gathered data through chemical literacy tests, interviews, and observations. The participants comprised 80 students from three districts in Central Java, Indonesia. Quantitative analysis using Rasch modeling revealed a significant improvement in scores, with an average pretest score of 44.82, increasing to 66.50 post-intervention. The effect size of 1.1819 was categorized as "good," indicating the model's potential for fostering learning. However, the average post-test score remained below the minimum completion criterion of75.80. Qualitative findings highlighted weaknesses in the problem orientation stage of the PBL model, particularly in connecting students’ prior knowledge to new learning objectives. This stage is critical for setting the foundation for subsequent PBL phases, suggesting that insufficient scaffolding may have hindered optimal learning outcomes. To enhance the effectiveness of MOOC-based PBL, the study recommends restructuring the problem orientation stage to align better with students' initial knowledge levels. These findings underscore the promise of integrating MOOC-based PBL in chemistry education while emphasizing the need for refinements to address identified challenges. By bridging gaps in problem orientation and fostering deeper connections between prior and new knowledge, this approach could more effectively support the development of chemical literacy, providing valuable insights for educators and policymakers.

Published: January 2025

The effectiveness of e-learning systems has become a focal point in modern education, particularly with the global shift towards digital learning environments. This study employs the DeLone and McLean  Model, integrating the Technology Self-Efficacy (TSE) variable, to analyze the critical factors influencing e-learning success. Key dimensions, including information quality, system quality, service quality, system use, and user satisfaction, were evaluated through a comprehensive methodology involving Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Data collected from 283 high school students in a suburban area reveal significant relationships, highlighting the pivotal roles of technology self-efficacy and system use in driving user satisfaction and overall e-learning success. The findings underscore that system use directly influences educational outcomes, with students’ confidence in navigating e-learning platforms emerging as a critical determinant of user satisfaction. Despite these successes, service quality and information accuracy areas present opportunities for refinement to further enhance user engagement and satisfaction. The study also emphasizes the adaptability and scalability of the proposed model for broader applications in diverse educational settings. This research contributes valuable insights into optimizing e-learning systems by addressing user-centric and technical aspects, ultimately supporting more effective digital learning platforms. The integration of TSE with the DeLone and McLean Model provides a robust framework for understanding and improving e-learning systems, offering actionable strategies for educational institutions aiming to align with the evolving demands of 21st-century learning.

Modernleşme Dönemi Osmanlı Bahriyesinde Bir Müzakere Kurumu Olarak Şûrâ-yı Bahriye: Bürokratik Yapısı ve Çalışma Usulü [1877-1914]
Authors: Korkmaz Mehmet
Published: January 2025

18. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından itibaren Batı’nın gelişmiş ülkeleri karşısında askerî, ekonomik ve teknolojik olarak devletin geri kaldığını gören Osmanlı devlet adamları bu durumdan çıkışın yapılacak köklü reformlara bağlı olduğu kanaatindeydiler. Nitekim bu düşünceden hareketle Batı teknolojisinin transferi gündeme geldi. Aynı zamanda sivil ve askerî kurumlarda bazı reform hareketleri başlatıldı. Reformların prensipler ve kurumlar üzerinden yapılmasının önemi kavrandığından öncelikle bunun icrası ve kontrolü amacıyla komisyon ve meclisler teşkil edildi. Bürokraside ve toplumsal hayatta köklü değişimlerin ortaya çıkmasını da sağlayan bu durum devlet organlarında müzakere odaklı katılımcı bir anlayışın yerleşmesine zemin hazırladı. Merkez ve taşra organizasyonundaki bu çalışmalar içerisinde merkezde nezaretlerin teşkili ve bunların bünyesinde müzakere ve karar alma meclislerinin oluşturulması askerî kurumlar için de söz konusu oldu. Bu araştırmada devletin askerî teşkilatının önemli bir unsuru olan deniz kuvvetleri (Kaptan-ı Deryâlık/Bahriye Nezareti) bünyesinde teşkil edilen meclis üzerinde duruldu. 1840 yılında Meclis-i Bahriye olarak teşkil edilen bu müessesenin adı 1877 yılında Şûrâ-yı Bahriye olarak değiştirildi. II. Meşrutiyet’in ilanından sonra ise adı Şûrâ-yı Âlî-i Bahrî oldu. Zamanla isim değişikliğine uğrasa da aynı fonksiyonla görevini icra eden bahriyenin bu en önemli müzakere ve karar alma organının Meclis-i Bahriye adıyla faaliyet gösterdiği döneme dair çalışmalar mevcut olmakla birlikte Şûrâ-yı Bahriye adını aldığı dönemden lağvedildiği. 1914 yılına kadar olan süreçteki kurumsal yapısı, çalışma usulü ve faaliyetlerine dair bir araştırma mevcut değildir. Bu makalede söz konusu tarih aralığında Şûrâ-yı Bahriye’nin karar alma ve uygulama süreçlerine etkisi ve zamanla bunun nasıl bir değişime uğradığı sorularına cevap aranacaktır.
Dünya Müslüman Kongresi İçin Bir Girişim: İsmail Gaspıralı’nın Mısır’da Çıkardığı En-Nahda Gazetesi
Authors: Akın Ümit
Published: January 2025

Rusya Türklerinin/Müslümanlarının rehberlerinden olan İsmail Gaspıralı, Rusya’da millî uyanış hareketlerine yönelik faaliyetler yürütürken gazete çıkarmış, kongreler düzenlemiş, usul-ı cedit okulları açmış, kısacası sosyal ve siyasi bakımdan birçok icraat gerçekleştirmiştir. Gaspıralı’nın asıl hedefi bir Dünya Müslümanları Kongresi toplamak, İslam ülkelerinin temsilcileriyle istişareler yapmak, Müslümanlarda farkındalık yaratarak onların içinde bulunduğu gaflet uykusundan uyandırmaktı. Tercüman takipçilerinden Ünlü Macar Türkolog Armin Vambery’in sevkiyle, Gaspıralı’nın bu girişimi “A Mahomedan Congress In Cairo” başlığıyla The Times gazetesinin 22 Ekim 1907 tarih 38 nolu sayısında duyurulmuştur. Böylelikle Gaspıralı’nın bu teşebbüsü uluslararası bir hadiseye dönüşmüştür. Aslında bu toplantının halifeliğin başkenti İstanbul’da olması taraftarı olanlar da (Jön Türkler) vardır. Fakat Gaspıralı, bazı nedenlerden dolayı bunu mümkün görmemiş, toplantı için Mısır'da karar kılmıştır. Mısır’da kongreden önce yapılan hazırlık konferansı Osmanlı Hükümeti tarafından da takip edilmiştir. Osmanlı Devleti’nin Mısır Fevkalade Komiseri Gazi Ahmet Muhtar Paşa konferanstan beş gün sonra 6 Kasım 1907’de saraya konferansla ve Gaspıralı’yla ilgili tezkere gönderir. Gaspıralı 1908 başlarında Mısır’a geldiğinde En-Nahda gazetesini çıkartır. Yalnızca üç sayı çıkabilen bu gazetenin klişesi “Her hafta Cuma ve salı günleri yayımlanan politik, edebî ve reformist bir gazete” olarak belirtilmiştir. Gazetede, Dünya Müslüman Kongresi için önemli haberler, Müslümanların ilerlemesi yolunda yapılacaklar, Türkiye, İran ve Rusya’yla ilgili önemli bilgiler yer almaktadır. Çalışmamızda nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden döküman araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır.
A Sufi Bureaucrat’s Reflection: The Late Ottoman Concept of Terakkî (Progress) in Aşçı Dede’s [1828-1906] Memoirs
Authors: Yalçınkaya Arzu Eylül
Published: January 2025

This article examines the notion of terakkî (progress) within the 19th-century Ottoman context, focusing on the role of Sufi perspectives in ongoing debates about modernization. While Sufi orders were often viewed as obstacles to progress, labeled as elements fostering stagnation, this study challenges that perception by analyzing Aşçı Dede’s memoirs—a unique self-narrative account from the Tanzimat period. Aşçı Dede (d. 1906), a prominent Sufi figure involved in both bureaucratic and spiritual realms, presents an alternative view of progress that blends spiritual and societal development. By scrutinizing his reflections on Japan’s modernization as a model for the Ottoman Empire, the article argues that Sufi orders actively engaged with reform discourses, contributing a nuanced vision of progress that emphasized both material and spiritual dimensions. This re-evaluation highlights the multifaceted role of Sufi officials in the Ottoman modernization process, bridging the gap between tradition and reform. It offers a new perspective on the interplay between spirituality and bureaucracy, underscoring the significant yet underexplored contributions of Sufi bureaucrats to the intellectual and reformist landscape of the late Ottoman period.
Avaliação da alteração da frente de carbonatação de estrutura de concreto submetida a fuligem de incêndio
Authors: Carneiro Valério Allan , Roberto do Lago Helene Paulo
Published: January 2025

O estudo teve como objetivo verificar a influência do calor moderado (< 200ºC) e da fuligem de incêndios na alteração da profundidade de carbonatação do concreto. Apesar deste fato ocorrer naturalmente em todos os pequenos e grandes incêndios, estes autores não encontraram referências bibliográficas sobre o tema. Foi então realizado um experimento de exposição de corpos de prova de concreto a temperaturas moderadas, seguido por impregnação de fuligem por doze meses, com a medição da profundidade de carbonatação a cada três meses. O estudo foi realizado em ambiente de laboratório e comparou a profundidade de carbonatação observada em corpos de prova submetidos a moderadas temperaturas e fuligem com corpos de prova nas condições ambientais do laboratório. Apesar das limitações naturais de um experimento com prazo reduzido e ambiente de laboratório, ficou evidenciado que mesmo em concretos íntegros, as moderadas temperaturas combinadas com a acidez da fuligem aceleram as profundidades de carbonatação podendo alterar significativamente a vida útil residual da estrutura, sempre que as medidas de intervenção corretiva posterior não levem em conta esse risco.

Published: January 2025

Este trabalho objetivou avaliar a capacidade de detecção de buracos, remendos e trincas, por meio do algoritmo YOLOv8. Para isso, realizou-se uma filmagem do trecho de uma rodovia, que foi avaliada em campo, de forma manual e comparada com uma avaliação semiautomática a partir do processamento do vídeo pelo modelo. A utilização do modelo produz vários resultados diferentes dos obtidos por meio da avaliação em campo. Apesar de ser empregado apenas uma parcela do Índice de Condição de Manutenção na avaliação, é a primeira vez que um índice é utilizado em conjunto com o YOLOv8. Dessa forma, conclui-se que o modelo requer melhorias para se tornar viável e ser aplicado em definitivo.

Authors: Silva Alisson , Arthur Rios de Azevedo  , Fernando Humberto de Almeida Moraes Neto  , Paulo Henrique Ferreira da Silva
Published: January 2025

This study developed an automated image recognition model for inspecting residential roofs using the YOLOv8 architecture to identify three types of damage. The methodology involved images from 167 buildings captured by drones and annotated in CVAT, which were used to train and test the model. YOLOv8 was applied for anomaly detection and classification, achieving 79% precision. The limitations were the small dataset and the limited variety of capture angles. The originality of the work lies in the innovative use of YOLOv8 for roof inspection. Future research will focus on developing the YOLOv9 and YOLOv10 architectures and expanding the dataset and damage classes.
Comparative CT-Based Assessment of Volume and Shape Differences of a Scaphoid from a Frozen and Thawed Cadaver Arm for Scaphoid Prosthesis Modeling
Authors: Honigmann Philipp , Haefeli Mathias , Streekstra Geert , Dobbe Johannes
Published: January 2025

Purpose: Cadavers for research purposes are often stored deep frozen and often thawed and frozen multiple times in an experimental setting. To avoid repeated thawing and freezing, which could affect tissue quality, we investigated the feasibility of using a frozen and thawed cadaver wrist to model a scaphoid for a patient-specific prosthesis. We also assessed the accuracy of different segmentation postprocessing steps which are necessary to smoothen the surface of the model.
Methods: Computed Tomography (CT) scans of a frozen and thawed wrist were made. The tight and smoothened segmented scaphoid were compared. The frozen and thawed scaphoid models were registered, and volume differences were calculated.
Results: No statistical differences in volumes were detected between the segmented frozen and thawed scaphoid models. The size of the scaphoid model remained consistent between the tight and smoothened segmented versions.
Conclusion: There are no significant volume differences between frozen and thawed scaphoid bones. With regards to size, it is feasible and accurate to model a smoothened scaphoid for a patient-specific scaphoid prosthesis from a frozen cadaver arm which matches the one of the thawed wrist.

Cereal-legume intercrops offer notable benefits in weed suppression compared to the respective sole crops. Complementarity, where crop species collectively utilize more resources than when grown separately, and facilitation, where crops positively influence each other, have been proposed as mechanisms for this enhanced weed suppression. But research so far points to selection, the phenomenon where the more suppressive crop species disproportionally acquires resources making the intercrop resemble this crop species, as the key mechanism. However, the requirements under which enhanced weed suppression occurs, and the level of expression of selection in different intercrop systems, is insufficiently understood, while this is essential to design intercrops for weed suppression. This study evaluates the extent to which selection drives weed suppression in various cereal-legume combinations and intercrop designs, and examines if intercrop behavior concerning canopy cover aligns with such a selection effect. We conducted four field experiments over three years (2022-2024), focusing on crop species composition, mixing ratio, and spatial design. We found that in general, a cereal is a better weed suppressor than a legume. Weed biomass was lower in most intercrops compared to the averages of the sole crops, demonstrating effective weed suppression. The harmonic mean, a predictive model that accounts for selection, corresponded much more to observed intercrop weed biomass than the arithmetic mean, which averages sole crop weed biomasses. Enhanced weed suppression was absent in systems where component crops had similar competitiveness or where wide row spacing limited interaction between species. Together these findings support the prominent role of selection. Canopy cover was primarily influenced by cereals, the more competitive crop. We showed that selection is the dominant mechanism for weed suppression across diverse cereal-legume intercrop systems, and demonstrated the impact on weed suppression of intercrop design, in particular species composition, mixing ratio, and spatial design of the intercrop.

Soil structure, along with the fauna and plant biodiversity it sustains, can be affected by various factors, including both natural and human-induced disturbances such as climate fluctuations and mining activities. Earthworms are ecosystem engineers highly affected by these changes in soil conditions. In the present study, we evaluated earthworm community in different climatic periods and their impact on plant diversity in a region affected by mining tailings. Earthworm diversity was significantly higher during the period of higher precipitation, both in areas affected by mining tailings and in reference sites. Additionally, the composition of earthworm species was impacted, showing predominantly gains despite the influence of mining waste. The total and invasive abundance of earthworms was linked to greater plant diversity in the regenerating stratum of reference sites but not in areas impacted by mining waste. These findings highlight the potential consequences of climate change and mining disasters on earthworm communities, as well as on ecosystem structure and dynamics. Moreover, they underscore the environmental impacts of the world's largest mining disaster on earthworm diversity within one of the planet's key biodiversity hotspots, emphasizing the urgent need for improved recovery strategies.

Lysine lactylation is a post-translational modification that connects lactate metabolism with protein function. Our study identifies lysine lactylation of p53 in colorectal cancer tissues and cells. This modification results in increased cytoplasmic accumulation and reduced nuclear accumulation of p53, along with enhanced protein degradation via the proteasome pathway. These changes collectively promote the proliferation, migration, and invasion of colorectal cancer cells. Specifically, we observe enrichment of lactate groups at lysine 291 within the p53 DNA-binding domain and lysine 370 in its C-terminal regulatory domain. Mutating these lysine residues to arginine decreased cytoplasmic accumulation and increased nuclear localization of p53, thereby inhibiting colorectal cancer cells proliferation and migration. Our findings suggest that p53 lactylation contributes to tumorigenesis by modulating its nuclear translocation.

Authors: Liu Yuanming , Yan Ting , Zhang Liangcheng
Published: January 2025

Objective: This study aimed to assess the clinical utility of preoperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in predicting postoperative major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 1049 patients who underwent laparoscopic colorectal surgery between January 1st, 2018, and December 31st, 2018. Among these, 967 patients completed preoperative TTE, while 82 did not. Data collection encompassed basic patient information, medical history, ASA classification, and surgical details. The primary outcome was the occurrence of postoperative MACEs, which were defined based on myocardial enzyme levels, ECG results, and clinical events.
Results: A total of 44 MACEs were identified, with congestive heart failure and new arrhythmias being the most prevalent. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses revealed that interventricular septal thickening (IVST) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) were independent risk factors for MACEs, whereas the overall presence of TTE abnormalities was not significantly associated with postoperative MACEs. The study also highlighted that postoperative MACEs were significantly associated with increased hospitalization days and costs.
Conclusion: Preoperative TTE abnormalities, specifically IVST and LVH, were found to be independent risk factors for postoperative MACEs. However, the routine use of TTE as a predictive tool for MACEs in this patient population may not be warranted based on the overall findings.

Published: January 2025

Introduction
We present a case of active 54-year-old male who, over a period of one year, sustained severe fractures of his shoulder joints bilaterally. The first trauma was treated operatively but the intervention was unsuccessful. Intensive rehabilitation was performed which led to unexpectedly good functional results. Few months later the patient suffered same type of injury contralaterally. Only the rehabilitation protocol was repeated and this led to even better results.
Materials and Methods
We used the Neer classification to determine the type of fracture. The right shoulder was treated operatively with a PHILOS plate implanted. The left shoulder joint was treated only conservatively. To evaluate the condition of the shoulder joints after the treatment we used the DASH Score. To evaluate the pain in the shoulder joints we used the VAS system. To evaluate the change of quality of life we used the SF-36 questionnaire (provided by RAND Healthcare). There were two evaluations done: one 40 days after treatment for both shoulder joints and another one: 18 months for the right shoulder and 6 months for the left shoulder
Results
The DASH Score result for right shoulder was 60.83 pts. on the 40th day and 10 pts., 18 months later. For the left shoulder it was 56.66 pts. on the 40th day and 7,5 pts. on the 6th month. The results based on the Visual Analogue Scale were as follows: 5 pts. for right shoulder and 4 pts. for the left shoulder on the 40th day. Several months later the patient reported 1pt. for both shoulder joints.
Conlusions
Often when operative treatment has to be postponed or is impossible, conservative treatment can give very good results if carried out strictly.

The United States and China are leading global contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. An important question arises: does enhancing the efficiency of nonrenewable energy sources or increasing the adoption of renewable energy in these countries result in significant environmental improvements? This study explores these critical issues by examining carbon accounting and emission trading methods related to the effectiveness of nonrenewable energy, the intensity of renewable energy, and technologies aimed at environmental sustainability. The study spans the years 1990 to 2020, integrating Kernel-Based Regularized Least Squares and robustness analyses to enhance the reliability of its findings. The results underscore those improvements in nonrenewable energy efficiency, increased intensity of renewable energy deployment, and advancements in environmental technologies contribute significantly to mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through emission trading mechanisms. Notably, these measures exhibit more pronounced environmental efficacy in China compared to the United States. Particularly noteworthy is the outsized positive impact of enhancing nonrenewable energy efficiency, surpassing the benefits derived from scaling renewable energy or employing environmental technologies alone. Conversely, factors such as natural resource rents and urban population density have been identified as significant impediments to achieving environmental sustainability, as they correlate with increased GHG emissions in both economies of particular concern is the exacerbation of environmental impacts associated with rapid urbanization in China, underscoring a critical area for policy intervention. These findings provide a robust basis for the formulation of targeted policy initiatives aimed at enhancing environmental sustainability in both the USA and China, aligning with global efforts towards achieving net-zero emissions targets. Advanced research in this realm could further explore nuanced interactions between energy policies, economic development, and environmental outcomes to refine strategies for mitigating climate change impacts worldwide.

Periodontitis is a prevalent inflammatory disease, with Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) identified as the primary causative bacterium of periodontal infection. In addition to its role in chronic periodontitis, Pg has also been associated with head and neck tumors, digestive tract tumors, neurological diseases, and atherosclerosis (AS). Therefore, establishing a rapid clinical detection method for Pg is of paramount importance. In this study, we developed a LAMP detection reagent for Pg, and assessed its performance in terms of sensitivity, specificity, repeatability, stability, linear range, and linearity using a commercial magnetic bead-based method. The integrated nucleic acid extraction and detection system has created an on-site instant detection platform for Pg based on a closed cartridge, demonstrating a sensitivity of 10 CFU/mL, no cross-reactivity with eight other bacterial pathogens, and excellent performance in repeatability, stability, linear range, and linearity. For 28 simulated samples, the detection results from the integrated system were consistent with the experimental outcomes of qPCR and LAMP detection following nucleic acid extraction in a conventional laboratory setting. The entire process can be completed in approximately one hour, significantly reducing the time required for clinical diagnosis and indicating substantial practical needs and application prospects.
