Given the results obtained from several studies conducted in recent years, the roles of microglia and bone marrow-derived monocytes in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) are becoming much clearer. Microglia, as resident immune cells, respond to pathogenic factors by coordinating neuroinflammatory and neuroprotective processes. However, when chronically activated, their functions are disrupted, leading to an exacerbation of the existing pathology.
In response to signals released during neuroinflammation and damage to the brain, bone marrow-derived monocytes that infiltrate the brain, as well as their potential differentiation into microglia-like cells, introduce new dynamics to the immune defense. Many aspects of this process remain unknown, including the entire spectrum of potential positive and negative effects and their consequences within the context of AD pathogenesis. Revealing these factors requires further investigation; however, the findings from existing studies suggest that these bone marrow-derived cells could be considered potential candidates for therapeutic intervention in AD.
Furthermore, understanding the precise mechanisms by which these cells interact with the neuroinflammatory environment may provide critical insights into developing targeted therapies aimed at modifying disease progression. As research continues to uncover these complex interactions, the potential for innovative treatment strategies to emerge becomes increasingly promising.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a significant health crisis worldwide, disrupting medical services and presenting challenges for radiological departments.
This study aims to examine the organizational peculiarities of radiological services during the COVID-19 pandemic. The objectives include assessing staff capacity, workload, losses, and gains in radiological departments, and comparing the advantages of CT scans over PCR tests due to the high rate of false-negative results in the latter.
A qualitative study was conducted using in-depth interviews with 14 radiologists from eight medical centers in Yerevan.
The interview guide served as the research instrument, focusing on the workload, staffing, and diagnostic accuracy in radiological departments during the pandemic.
The study revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic led to excessive workload and stress among radiologists, manifested through reduced productivity, errors, and behavioral changes. Staff shortages and the high rate of false-negative PCR test results caused significant challenges.
Radiological services faced numerous challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, including staffing issues and diagnostic inaccuracies. Future pandemic preparedness should focus on ensuring adequate staffing and reliable diagnostic tools, along with mental health support for healthcare workers.

Published: December 2024

A busca por alternativas mais ecológicas para produção de materiais é um dos grandes pólos de discussão no planeta. Estudos apontam a utilização de fibras vegetais como reforço para substituir as fibras sintéticas em materiais compósitos. Para isso, os compósitos foram fabricados por laminação manual com orientação de fibras da palha de milho aleatórias nas formulações percentuais de 5, 10 e 20%, com objetivo de caracterizar pelos ensaios mecânicos realizados de tração uniaxial, flexão em três pontos, impacto, caracterização microestrutural através da análise de microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e ensaio térmico por calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC). Diante dos resultados, podemos concluir que o compósito de 20% de carga apresentou melhores resultados de resistência mecânica, principalmente na absorção de impacto. O compósito desenvolvido comprovou que pode ser utilizado na prática como substitutivos de outras fibras vegetais de forma eficiente e satisfatória para ter aplicação estrutural principalmente em peças de pouca solicitação mecânica, tais como, reservatórios, tubulações, prateleiras, telhas, entre outros.

A historicidade dos sintagmas na fala da Secretária Estadual de Educação e o funcionamento da memória discursiva
Authors: Fiss Doris Maria Luzzardi , Vilarinho Júnior Ildo Ronan
Published: December 2024

Neste artigo procuramos revisitar, na perspectiva teórico-metodológica da Análise Materialista do Discurso, enunciados proferidos pela Secretária Estadual de Educação do Rio Grande do Sul na live “Orientações sobre o encerramento do ano letivo 2022”, compreender a realização do discurso desde sua filiação a redes de memória bem como o funcionamento da memória discursiva a partir do recorte de duas sequências discursivas (SD), identificando a Formação Discursiva (FD) em que as SD estão inscritas e por quais outras FD são atravessadas. Entendemos que o sujeito se constitui pela memória e pelo esquecimento, inscrevendo-se em certa filiação de sentidos, e a memória é reconstruída na enunciação, retornando nos sentidos produzidos pelos sintagmas “educação integral” e “coisa” em determinadas condições de produção. Destacamos, desde o trabalho analítico-discursivo realizado, que a Secretária, assujeitada ideologicamente, está determinada pela Formação Discursiva Pedagógico-Administrativa e parece ter assimilado diretrizes de organização da educação coerentes com o modo de produção capitalista neoliberal. Contudo, a FDPA está em relação com outras FD, reverberando o que foi dito antes, incorporando, mas também mudando o seu sentido uma vez que a memória tanto permite repetição quanto deslocamento de sentidos. Raquel, ao afirmar algo, provavelmente deixa de dizer algo e sentidos são silenciados – o que aponta para uma disputa pelos sentidos acerca da Educação entre um modo que compreende a escola como sendo a de tempo livre para aprender e outro modo que vê na escola a instância de treinamento do estudante para inseri-lo de maneira adaptada às exigências do trabalho.
Luto
Authors: Beriula Rhafaela Rico Bertolino
Published: December 2024

Este ensaio tem o intuito de apresentar e refletir questões acerca da morte e do luto na quarta idade, buscando compreender os efeitos de sentidos que ressoam em fotografias que tratam sobre a temática publicadas no Instagram, rede social online. Buscar-se-á, como interesse, realçar a materialidade discursiva do corpo no processo sócio-histórico e ideológico de textualização simbólica sobre a morte e seus efeitos de sentir e de sentidos no espaço digital. Essa construção se dará a partir da relação discursiva possível entre a Análise de Discurso pecheutiana e a Psicanálise. Como efeito de fecho, compreendeu-se que, nas materialidades analisadas, a morte, o luto ou o que foi chamado de presença-ausência do objeto perdido, lança efeitos de sentidos que estão constituídos pela exterioridade - historicidade e interdiscurso -, evidenciando o sentido da falta que se discursiviza nos discursos dos sujeitos que ainda vivem. O corpo que não está mais vivo passa a ser representado pela ausência, ou seja, é retomado pela memória afetiva e discursiva, que resiste/existe discursivamente ao ser simbolizado, desse modo, a presença (discurso)-ausência (corpo) aponta para uma dada relação constitutiva dos sujeitos enlutados, o que move o trabalho da memória, colocando em jogo a historicidade e o interdiscurso, ou seja, a exterioridade. Portanto, os efeitos de sentidos indicam que a presença (discurso)-ausência (corpo) significam, o que abre espaço para o trabalho simbólico que funciona na linguagem das materialidades visuais.
"Genocídio” e “pandemia”
Authors: Ribeiro Gabriela Gonçalves
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo se dispõe a investigar os efeitos e a produção de sentidos no par de verbetes “genocídio” e “pandemia”, retirado do Vocabulário da pandemia do novo coronavírus,  buscando entender como esses verbetes estão postos em outros instrumentos linguísticos. Para tanto, mobilizaremos o aparato teórico e metodológico da Análise de Discurso de linha francesa em suas relações com a História das Ideias Linguísticas. O par de palavras selecionado é um recorte da dissertação intitulada “Vocabulário da pandemia do novo coronavírus: uma proposta de análise discursiva sobre a produção e efeitos de sentido das palavras em tempos de emergência sanitária”. Nossa análise busca compreender como se movimentam os sentidos entre a paráfrase e a polissemia, entre o mesmo e diferente, durante as condições de produção pandêmicas.

Trilhas de sentidos sobre infância
Authors: Silveira Valéria da Silva
Published: December 2024

Este estudo, desenvolvido no ano de 2023, intenta compreender como a ideologia trabalha no discurso do Projeto Político Pedagógico de uma Escola Municipal de Educação Infantil localizada no litoral norte do Rio Grande do Sul, trilhando um caminho através do qual seja possível entender o funcionamento dos discursos outros que, desde a observação de deslocamentos, rupturas e/ou conformações, instam a atentar para o trabalho da memória discursiva bem como para as filiações de sentidos a ela. O PPP corresponde ao corpus documental constituído. A materialidade analisada consiste em recorte composto por onze sequências discursivas isoladas. Na Análise do Discurso, referencial teórico-metodológico, o trabalho de leitura considera não apenas o texto, mas também o que está fora do texto e nele se faz presente, o contexto sócio-histórico, recuperando não-ditos e silenciamentos e corroborando para a leitura como prática social e discursiva. A análise permitiu reconhecer uma Formação Discursiva Pedagógica da Criança na qual circulam efeitos de sentidos decorrentes de duas famílias parafrásticas: FP Criança-Projeto e FP Criança-Potência. As posições-sujeito estabelecem litígio entre si, o que possibilita falar em um sujeito dividido por ele mesmo diante dos saberes que circulam na FD com que se filia. Pela constituição da FD, entende-se o que pode e deve ser dito (e também o que não pode nem deve ser dito) sobre “criança” em função da regulação da forma-sujeito que, fragmentada, abre espaço não só para o semelhante, mas também para o diferente, o divergente, o contraditório, resultando em uma formação discursiva heterogênea.

VOD IN POLAND. MARKET DYNAMICS AND DEVELOPMENT DIRECTIONS
Authors: Chmielewska Aleksandra , Sarna Nikodem
Published: December 2024

In this article we try to understand the structure and dynamics of the Polish VOD market. An analysis of VOD consumption data provided by Gemius shows that Polish VOD market consists of both global and local players offering international and local productions. The number of viewers has flattened over time suggesting that in the future there will be less room for organic growth and the competition will likely shift to persuading users to spend more time watching videos by multiple attempts to make the library more sticky and interesting. The results of an additional technical analysis suggest that the top player is also the most technically advanced one and provides best experience, which might have an impact on the market performance.

This study investigates the thermodynamic and advanced nonlinear kinetic modeling of neem oil extraction using hexane as a solvent, aimed at advancing second-generation feedstock for environmental sustainability. Key process parameters—extraction temperature (32 °C to 74 °C), particle size (0.1 mm to 0.5 mm), and extraction time (0 to 180 minutes)—were systematically investigated to assess their effects on oil yield and diffusion coefficients. Six nonlinear kinetic models, including power law, parabolic diffusion, hyperbolic, Elovich, pseudo-first-order, and pseudo-second-order models were evaluated for their accuracy in describing the extraction process. The results showed that the highest oil yield of 42.9% was obtained at 74 °C, with a particle size of 0.1 mm, over 180 minutes. Diffusion coefficients increased with temperature, ranging from 2.16 × 10−12 m2/s at 32 °C to 3.89 × 10−12 m2/s at 74 °C, and decreased with larger particle sizes. The activation energy was determined to be 24.7 kJ/mol. ANOVA indicated that temperature had the most significant impact on oil yield, followed by particle size and extraction time. The parabolic diffusion and power law models provided the best fit to the experimental data, demonstrating the highest adjusted R2 and lowest RMSE and SSE values. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the process is endothermic, spontaneous, and irreversible, with entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs free energy values of 0.10 kJ/mol⋅K, 31.9 kJ/mol, and −2.08 kJ/mol, respectively, at 328 K. These findings provide critical insights for optimizing neem oil extraction, supporting its industrial application as a sustainable feedstock.
Clorindo Testa, a centennial tribute
Authors: Caballero Gerardo , Conte Federica , Corea Aiello Mario , Gambardella Cherubino , Lapunzina Alejandro , Testa Joaquina
Published: December 2024

Sometimes good things happen entirely by chance. It is the case of this little book. Its origin can be traced back to a telephone conversation about a completely different subject that I had in May 2023 with Joaquina Testa, Clorindo Testa’s daughter and president of the Fundación Clorindo Testa (Buenos Aires, Argentina). In that conversation we informally explored the possibility that the Illinois Architecture Study Abroad Program at BarcelonaEl Vallès (the flagship study abroad program of the Illinois School of Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, also known as the “Barcelona Program”) and its host institution, the Escola Superior d’Arquitectura del Vallès of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) jointly organize a modest exhibition of Testa’s architectural legacy to commemorate the centennial of his birth. One and a half years later, that informal conversation materialized with the organization of the exhibition Clorindo Testa, a centennial tribute and a round table dedicated to celebrating his work. This book comprises aspects of both; on one hand, it works as a sort of catalogue of the images displayed in the exhibition, while on the other, it includes eight rather personal approximations to the work of Testa by the specially invited guests who participated in the round table held at the exhibit’s opening on December 16, 2024. The main objective of the entire project was to celebrate the work of this extraordinary architect, but in parallel, our intention is to disseminate his work, especially to an audience that, because of geographical and generational distances, may not be familiar with the transcendence of his architectural oeuvre. Based on a preliminary selection made by Federica Conte, a young Italian architect and researcher of Testa’s work, the exhibit presents a brief selection of some of the architect’s most significant buildings, from the emblematic and internationally praised Banco de Londres y América del Sur (1956-1959) to some of his late work such as the Auditorio for the Universidad del Salvador (1998-2000). For the most part, this book includes the same documents (preliminary sketches, drawings, photographs) displayed in the exhibition; however, there are a few exceptions in both directions, that is, some images included in the book are not displayed in the exhibit (notably most of the images that illustrate the texts), and vice versa, not all the images shown in the exhibit are included in this volume. In closing, we hope that those who have known Clorindo Testa and his work enjoy this little book as a heartful tribute, and that those who are not familiar with it discover the work of one of the most original and greatest architects of the last seventy years.

Aguja Canyon – New approach added to the structural and morphological model in the continental margin of the Colombian Caribbean
Authors: Santos Barrera Yerinelys , Fernanda Calderón Grande María , Gutiérrez Rincón Eliana , Vargas Morales Johanna P.
Published: December 2024

On the submerged continental margin of the Colombian Caribbean, the Aguja submarine canyon stands out, a structure formed by denudation processes that crosses the continental shelf and transports sediments to the deep waters in the Colombia basin. Using new hydrographic data and bathymetric analyses, this study shows a physical characterization of the canyon, which stretches for more than 197 km with depths of 10 m to 3,783 m and a width of 1 km to 8 km. Four segments controlled by regional structural geology are identified, each with a distinct channel direction. Aguja Canyon shows instability in its walls and surroundings with landslides, faults and mud volcanism, evidencing considerable tectonic and sedimentary activity along the continental margin.
Macrophyte detection with bathymetric LiDAR – Applications of high-dimensional data analysis for submerged ecosystems
Authors: Rhomberg-Kauert Jan , Dammert Lucas , Grömer Michael , Pfennigbauer Martin , Mandlburger Gottfried
Published: December 2024

Automatic detection and classification of point clouds is a research topic of wide interest, as manual annotation of individual points is time consuming and inefficient for large surveys. This also holds for the emerging field of submerged vegetation detection, surveyed by bathymetric LiDAR. In the point clouds generated, current best practices perform sub-optimally in extracting vegetation data. To date, only a modest number of methodologies have been proposed to overcome this problem and furthermore only briefly discuss their findings in an extensive evaluation with annotated data. In contrast to the domain of sonar, where the practice of feature selection and comparison to annotated data has been well established over the last decades. This study proposes a similar methodology based on high-dimensional data analysis and clustering that is commonly deployed in other fields of research. In addition to the method, two datasets are presented for a detailed comparison to manually annotated data, in which the method performed at a mean precision score of 0.70 to 0.86, for all manual annotations. This demonstrates that the method is able to detect aquatic vegetation based on its structural characteristics of the bathymetric LiDAR point cloud, yielding results that are comparable to those obtained through manual annotation. In conclusion, the method presents an alternative workflow to current best practices and improves automated vegetation detection through the application of high dimensional data analysis.

This study examines the impact of augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI)-based applications on enhancing listening skills in early childhood. Listening is a foundational skill in language development and is crucial for acquiring social and cognitive abilities. Integrating digital technologies into educational processes offers an innovative approach to support children's attention spans and listening habits. In this context, the study investigates how AR and AI-supported applications can engage children, increase their focus duration, and develop their listening skills. The AR applications used in the study facilitated children's interaction with auditory and visual stimuli, thereby providing a multisensory learning experience. AI-based storytelling, on the other hand, helped children extract meaning from stories and focus on details while listening. The findings reveal that AR and AI technologies effectively strengthen children's listening skills and improve their attention spans. These technologies not only contribute to language development but also foster active participation and motivation in the learning process. In conclusion, integrating AR and AI applications into early childhood education has the potential to enhance children's linguistic and cognitive skills.
