The role of Shunaoxin pills in the treatment of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion and its main pharmacodynamic components
Authors: Zhang Jin , Chang Nianwei , Liu Jiani , Liu Wenjuan , Bai Gang
Published: November 2022

Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) is a frequent ischemic cerebrovascular disease that induces brain dysfunction. Shunaoxin pills (SNX) are traditional Chinese medicines (TCM), frequently used for the treatment of CCH. The purpose of this study was to develop an activity-based screening system to identify the active ingredients of SNX. We developed a model of CCH and revealed that SNX induces cerebrovascular dilatation and protects against CCH-induced nerve cell injury in rats. Using the transcriptome analysis, we found that Ca2+-related signaling pathways play a major role in the effect of SNX against CCH. We developed an activity-based screening system based on the ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry coupled with a dual-luciferase reporter calcium assay to identify the active components of SNX. As a result, SNX dilates cerebral blood vessels, increasing cerebral blood flow by modulating calcium-related signaling pathways and regulating calcium homeostasis. Two calcium antagonists, ligustilide and senkyunolide I, were identified as active ingredients in SNX. In conclusion, we developed a rapid screening method suitable for the discovery of active natural products in TCM by integrating genomics and target pathway-oriented spectroscopic analysis.
Cooperativity Markers in the Left Periphery. Evidence from Sicilian and from Lombard Italian
Authors: Menza Salvatore , Bianchi Valentina
Published: November 2022

This paper investigates two Italo-Romance discourse particles, which we analyze as ‘cooperativity markers’, conveying the conventional implicature that a future action to be accomplished by the speaker fulfills a set of maximal preferences that they share with the addressee; by means of this implicature, the speaker conveys that they intend their action to be cooperative. We show that clauses introduced by these particles share core syntactic and semantic properties with jussive expressions such as imperatives, most notably future orientation and a constraint on the person specification of the null subject. We argue that these particles occupy a functional projection which encodes preferential meanings and takes scope above Tense.
The semiotics of social-distance branding during the post-coronavirus crisis
Authors: Haghbin Farideh , Nambusubramaniyan Saranraj , Monfared Narjes
Published: November 2022

Social distance, as a non-static cognitive attribute of acceptance among particular groups across different contexts, has been resemioticized during the coronavirus crisis and legalized worldwide to reduce global strain on healthcare systems and prevent deaths. Concerning this, brand designers have tried to persuade the brand community to benefit from products or services safely by staying away from others as much as possible instead of in-person contact. This research was conducted to discover the semiosis process of social-distancing resemioticization through creating values of brands during the post-coronavirus crisis. The corpus consists of 124 brands – all sampled purposely from 2019 to 2021 – which was investigated via a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods using an integrated model in a functional perspective. All the results highlight the fact that, although brand designers have attempted to creatively resemioticize social-distancing during the coronavirus crisis as a means of increasing or enriching brand values, still some semiosis layers of brand discourse have been overlooked. Pertaining to this, the authors try to apply a new perspective of marketing semiotics to appraise consumer investments in light of a socio-cultural setting by conducting an inquiry about the semiosis of individual brand discourses to manage consumer perceptions regarding brand equity.
Psychiatrische Patientinnen und Patienten in Vukovar (Kroatien) und ihre Bedürfnisse nach Vergebung
Authors: Glavas Andrijana , Büssing Arndt , Baumann Klaus
Published: November 2022

27 Jahre nach dem Krieg in Kroatien ist der Prozess der Vergebung und Versöhnung zwischen den damaligen Kriegsparteien nicht abgeschlossen. Das Ziel dieser Studie war es zu untersuchen, welche Bedürfnisse bezüglich Vergebung Patientinnen und Patienten in Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie in Kroatien haben.

Methode: Anonyme Querschnittserhebung mit standardisierten Fragebögen unter 200 Patientinnen und Patienten mit Traumafolgeerkrankungen (TFE) und anderen psychischen Erkrankungen, die im Allgemein- und Veteranenkrankenhaus in Vukovar behandelt wurden.

Ergebnisse: Für eine große Anzahl der Patienten und Patientinnen spielen das Bedürfnis, jemandem zu vergeben, und das Bedürfnis, selbst Vergebung zu erlangen, eine wichtige Rolle. Signifikante Unterschiede in der Ausprägung der Stärke der Bedürfnisse gab es zwischen Patientengruppen: mit und ohne TFE, mit und ohne aktive Kriegsteilnahme.

Fazit: Vergebung ist für die Patientinnen und Patienten in Kroatien weiterhin ein aktuelles, nicht abgeschlossenes Thema. Es erfordert interdisziplinäre Forschung und Arbeit im Sinne der Förderung eines dauerhaften Friedens, nicht nur in Kroatien oder auf dem Balkan, sondern europa- und weltweit, auch im Blick auf neue kriegerische Auseinandersetzungen.
How Prophecy Critiquing Socio-Economic Injustice Transformed into Law: The Cases of the Covenant Code and Early Prophetic Texts
Authors: Jiang Shawn
Published: November 2022

The present article investigates how prophetic critiques of socio-economic injustice turned into a legal discourse in the process of the theologization of laws in the Covenant Code. The article argues that the initial formation and development of the notion of divine law depended heavily on the prophetic traditions denouncing socio-economic injustice, on both thematic and terminological levels, and that this process reflects the social and economic situation of the late eighth through the seventh centuries BCE.
Weisheitliche Proverbienredaktion und ihre Amalgamierung mit keilschriftrechtlicher Redaktionstechnik in den Sammlungen kasuistischer Rechtssätze im biblischen Recht
Authors: Otto Eckart
Published: November 2022

Die Rechts- und Literargeschichte des Kasuistischen Rechts im Bundesbuch und Deuteronomium lässt sich anhand dreier Phasen beschreiben: die Entstehung einzelner kasuistischer Rechtssätze, ihre Redaktion im weisheitlichen Kontext und ihre priesterliche Theologisierung. Bei der Redaktion kasuistischer Rechtssätze verschmolzen Techniken des Keilschriftrechts mit solchen, wie sie in den Proverbien verwendet werden. Die kasuistischen Rechtssammlungen wurden von Priestern theologisiert, indem sie JWHW als deren Urheber einsetzten, um den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt zu stärken.
The Casuistic Law in Leviticus, the New Marmarini Inscription, and the Eloulaia and Nisanaia Festivals
Authors: Darshan Guy
Published: November 2022

This paper aims to highlight a series of similarities between Leviticus and an extraordinary Greek inscription that was discovered in Marmarini (Greece) and published during the recent decade (CGRN 225 = SEG 65–376). As this inscription contains instructions and regulations for ritual conduct, as well as reflects many unique Near Eastern features, it serves in this paper as the basis for a new comparative study that has significant ramifications on our understanding of the casuistic law in Leviticus, and the formation of the Priestly material in the Pentateuch.
La Guerra Fría en el capítulo “El gigante de las botas rojas”, de la serie Los cuentos de la calle Broca. Análisis de un modelo cognitivo
Authors: Pardo Fernández Rodrigo , Morales Campos Arturo
Published: November 2022

En el presente trabajo pretendemos mostrar, bajo los lineamientos de la sociosemiótica, la función política del episodio “El gigante de las botas rojas”, de la serie televisiva Los cuentos de la calle Broca, transmitida en México a través del Canal Once en los 90 (Once-Instituto Politécnico Nacional [IPN], 2022). Para la sociosemiótica, todo objeto cultural es una herramienta ideológica que puede usarse con intenciones “aleccionadoras” y dominantes. En el caso de textos (literarios, cinematográficos, televisivos, etcétera) dirigidos a un público supuestamente infantil, la manipulación de la información, en varias ocasiones, resulta mayor. Por ciertas características observadas en su visionado y por el momento en el que se produce en Francia (1995), y se transmite en ese país y en México, partimos de la hipótesis de que ese capítulo transcribe parte de la ideología occidental (capitalista-católica), propia de las postrimerías de la Guerra Fría, con la finalidad de oponerla a la ideología socialista. El análisis de determinados signos (lingüísticos, vestimentales, icónicos, etcétera) nos permitirá entender su función significante a partir de este supuesto. El resultado de ese análisis contendrá nociones comunes al momento de producción del episodio en cuestión. De esta manera, sostenemos que “El gigante de las botas rojas” funciona como un modelo cognitivo aleccionador, puesto que implica una forma de entender y actuar ante la realidad.
Reconstruction of pelvic exenteration and gynecologic tumor defects: a pictorial essay for a systematic method
Authors: Dickinson Brian P , Prajapati Krupa P , Vu Monica B , Li Ellin D , Brown John V , Vu-Huynh Nikkie , Ashjian Peter H , Ng Daniel
Published: November 2022

Background: Reconstruction of the defects created by extirpative surgery or radiation for gynecologic cancer can be challenging for both patients and surgeons. In the subset of patients who present with recurrent gynecologic cancer after previously successful treatment and radiation therapy, wounds to irradiated tissue are difficult to heal, requiring a collaborative effort between the gynecologic oncologists and the plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Other factors that may hinder successful repair include comorbidities, history of radiation, ongoing tobacco use, and overall protein malnutrition. To maximize repair success, decrease recurrence, and optimize aesthetic outcome, gynecologic oncologists and plastic and reconstructive surgeons need to communicate the anticipated anatomic and physiologic obstacles to each other and to the patient. Purpose: To create a systematic approach from our current method of gynecologic oncologic reconstruction that facilitates communication among general surgeons, gynecologic oncologists, and plastic and reconstructive surgeons to optimize gynecologic oncologic reconstructive and aesthetic outcomes while minimizing wound complications. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on patients who underwent gynecologic oncologic surgery for vulvar, vaginal, cervical, and uterine cancer over a 10-year period. A step-by-step method and categorization for gynecologic reconstruction was generated from our experience, and a pictorial essay was created to demonstrate this method and highlight the most common complications. Results: The pictorial essay serves as a template for gynecologic oncology or plastic and reconstructive surgeons to follow and effectively close gynecologic tumor defects and facilitate patient care. The most common complications were seroma and distal skin necrosis, managed by early excision and closure without consequence. Satisfaction with surgical outcomes was high among the patients. Conclusion: Successful repair of primary and recurrent gynecologic tumors requires communication between the gynecologic oncologist and the plastic and reconstructive surgeon. The procedures are challenging and require resilience from both the patient and the surgeons. Incision placement is important for adequate flap reconstruction to prevent wound and skin breakdown. Wound breakdown is likely and requires preoperative counseling. High protein nutritional stores are important for expeditious healing.

Dessa forma, apresenta algumas estratégias utilizadas com um estudante surdocego, em um estudo de caso, matriculado na sala de recursos multifuncionais no Estado do Paraná. Conclui que para a inclusão escolar ocorra é fundamental que o estudante seja ouvido e que o ensino leve em consideração as suas potencialidades. A partir desse processo, são necessárias adaptações curriculares, uso de diferentes ferramentas e formas de comunicação que atendam as singularidades do estudante com surdocegueira. As aulas em sala de recursos multifuncionais e o trabalho colaborativo, envolvendo professores da classe do comum e do atendimento educacional especializado, podem trazer grandes avanços para a inclusão escolar.
The application of oleogels in food products: Classification, preparation, and characterisation
Authors: Xu H.J. , Li T. , Zhang H.X. , Shi C.H. , Cao J.Q. , Zhang X.R.
Published: November 2022

Oleogels have been extensively investigated in the food processing in recent years, and they have become one of the healthier alternative. The possibility of constructing oleogel material in a manner similar to hydrocolloid gel has now been gradually becoming a reality. In this regard, this review provides coverage of the latest developments and applications of oleogels in terms of preparation strategies, physicochemical properties, health aspects, and potential food applications. Both solid fat content and crystallisation behaviour are discussed for oleogels fabricated by gelators and under different conditions. Oleogels could replace hydrogenated vegetable oils in food product, reduce the fatty acid content, and be used to prepare food products such as meat, ice-cream, chocolate, bread, and biscuits with desirable properties. The aims were to assess the formation mechanism, construction methods of oleogels and the advance on the application of oleogel structures in the food field, as well as the further exploration of oleogels and in complex food systems in the future.
Optimized ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for detecting compositional changes in Eucommia ulmoides and Achyranthes bidentata paired decoctions in vitro and in vivo
Authors: Chen Chun , Lv Lei , Huang Yueying , Gao Mingzhu , Jiang Xue , Ge Xiaoying , Zheng Dan , Bao Leilei
Published: November 2022

Rationale

The bark of Eucommia ulmoides and the roots of Achyranthes bidentata are commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine, and their pairing appears in many traditional Chinese medicine formulas as a recognized compatible unit. However, the changes and interactions of the main components of these two formulas when paired remain unclear, and there is currently no standard or method for their quality control and assessment of pharmacological effects.

Methods

An optimized ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method was established for the simultaneous identification of 10 components in E. ulmoides and A. bidentata using in vitro and in vivo models. Tributyltin methacrylate was the internal standard solution, and the blood samples were treated by an organic solvent precipitation method. Gradient elution was conducted on a C18 column at 25 °C with 0.1% formic acid water:acetonitrile as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.5 mL min−1. Dynamic multiple response monitoring was performed in negative-ion mode using an Agilent Jet Stream electrospray ionization ion source.

Results

In negative-ion detection mode, eucommiol exhibited a good response, and the isomers ginsenoside Ro and achyranthoside C could also be well separated. The developed method accurately detected the five components with a low blood content. Compared to controls, the levels of ginsenoside Ro, chikusetsusaponin Ⅳa, and achyranthoside C increased; the contents of geniposidic acid and pinoresinol diglucoside were unchanged; and the levels of eucommiol, geniposide, β-ecdysterone, genipin, and achyranthoside D decreased in vitro. In vivo, the contents of geniposidic acid, geniposide, pinoresinol diglucoside, and β-ecdysterone were reduced; the contents of eucommiol and ginsenoside Ro were unchanged; and those of achyranthoside D, chikusetsusaponin Ⅳa, and achyranthoside C increased compared to the corresponding levels in the internal control.

Conclusions

A method for the quality control of the E. ulmoides-A. bidentata drug pair was established for the first time and the main components in 10 drug pairs could be determined simultaneously in vitro and in vivo. These findings show that the E. ulmoides and A. bidentata drug pair cause a compositional change, providing new ideas for the development of this combination to improve clinical efficacy.
Navigating the nexus between UNCLOS and the sustainable development goals: Perspectives from transitions in Norway's ocean governance regime
Authors: Fasoulis Ioannis
Published: November 2022

Oceans and marine resources represent an invaluable source of life and well-being for humanity. Despite their contribution, oceans are constantly affected by human activities such as overfishing, shipping, and resource extraction, thus jeopardizing the viability of marine ecosystems. Periodically, a series of global initiatives led by the United Nations have sought to reverse these negative effects and safeguard sustainable ocean use. The United Nation's Law of the Sea (1982, UNCLOS) is a prominent undertaking in this direction, as it has created the legal framework for sustainable ocean governance. Norway, an ocean nation, has been a strong supporter of this international treaty, but also of the recent sustainable development goals (SDGs), which have typically complemented UNCLOS in the global quest for ocean sustainability. In this context, this paper delves into and posits the synergies and interactions between UNCLOS and SDGs and describes the related shifts in Norway's ocean governance regime.

Jews settling in Lower Silesia gathered in the emerging committees, whose main task was to care for the repatriates and their professional activation (productivization). The article presents the process of employing Lower Silesian Jews in state industry, creating cooperatives and individual workshops, as an essential element economic reconstruction of this region.
Załamanie kariery artystycznej Miry Kubasińskiej
Authors:   Dr, Instytut Historii Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, Polska, Kwieciński Wojciech
Published: November 2022

Mira Kubasińka (1944–2005) was one of the most charismatic vocalists of the Polish pop-music scene in the 1960s and 1970s. She achieved great success with the Breakout group and the status of a big-beat music star in Poland. Kubasińska’s unquestionable assets were naturalness and freedom of artistic expression. She had interesting vocal qualities, an impeccable sense of rhythm and a rare ability to shape the musical phrase. The pieces she performed were emotionally charged and stressed her extraordinary interpretative skills. The most important achievements of Kubasińska are the albums released in the peak period of the Breakout’s activity, that is, in the years 1969–1973, especially the album “Fire” (Muza Records 1973). After that Kubasińska's career declined sharply, which was caused by various factors, including primarily a severe crisis and finally the breakdown of her marriage with Nalepa, which had fatal consequences in the form of growing alcohol addiction, depression, and permanent material problems. Over the next decade, Kubasińska performed rarely. In 1994, she tried to make a permanent comeback to the stage with the band After Blues. From 2003 she collaborated with the blues-rock group KG Band which was ended by her sudden death in 2005. As far as artistic values are concerned, Kubasińska's later activity was only a shadow of her former achievements with the Breakout. This text, which is a contributory biographical sketch, focuses primarily on the factors and circumstances that led to the collapse of one of the most brilliant careers of the Polish big-beat era.
Nowy Europejski Bauhaus na opamiętanie – modernizm przeciw pandemii COVID-19, czy tylko?
Authors:   Prof. dr hab., Szkoła Główna Handlowa, Instytut Gospodarstwa Społecznego, Warszawa, Polska, Cesarski Maciej
Published: November 2022

The article outlines – using the Literature Analysis Tool – the socio-residential-settlement references of historical Bauhaus thoughts and practices leading to the emerging message of the New European Bauhaus (NEB). NEB introduces – like the work of Walter Gropius – a climate of hope. The current reflections indicate that without a real bolder departure from the capitalist paradigm of the market economic growth, NEB will remain – like the historical Bauhaus – an ambitious, in a good sense of the word utopian, proposition of a holistic, humanistic civilization based on social management. In order to prevent this from happening with the NEB, one cannot abandon the attempts to repair the entire sphere of settlement and living space, i.e., repairing the world. Therefore, it is necessary to promote through NEB, also existent in interwar Poland, the cultural and technological values of architecture and urban planning extended to the concepts of housing, settlement and dwelling beyond cities and urbanized areas not only in the EU and Europe. Only then will there be opportunities for the implementation of a holistic, long-term fix of the daily living of inclusive communities and societies. We do not know much about NEB, which additionally provides us with an opportunity to outline its roots, expectations, opportunities and threats related to it.
A decomposition of the total productivity factor into technical progress and technological efficiency – methodological possibilities
Authors: Trivić Nada , Todić Bojana
Published: November 2022

Total productivity as the basis for measuring economic efficiency is the initial presumption of this paper, and it is derived from the fact that it has a multiple importance of growing productivity, as an expression of production efficiency. The complex phenomenon of total productivity of factors is sometimes approached too simplistically, and even incorrectly. Productivity is treated as an isolated phenomenon, regardless of the numerous and various factors that condition it and the effects it has on other economic categories. The basis of the theoretical-methodological approach proposed in this paper, was the transcendental logarithmic production function (translog), as a clear interdependence between the maximum output vector and the production factor vector. The paper discusses the methodological basis for decomposition of total productivity growth on technical progress and technological efficiency, and a specification of the deterministic marginal production function. Adequate decomposition enables the more precise identification of the causes of lags in productivity growth. The results of the empirical analysis, through appropriate categorisation, are useful in conducting economic policy because they indicate the direction of activities with the aim of increasing total productivity.
Modelling economic structure: the perspective of tourist cities
Authors: Li Sheng , Yin Yechang , Zhang Anning , Wu Jiwei
Published: November 2022

This study uses a theoretical method and also mathematical programming (MP) models to assess the polarisation of Macao’s tourism industry in terms of economic realism, with Las Vegas as a reference. The industrial polarization of Macao’s gaming industry has led to a serious imbalance in the development of the city’s industrial structure. The author posits that market structures in the two locations vary in significant ways. Due to diverse market circumstances, including tourist amenities and consumer preferences, push forces are prominent in Macao, whereas pull forces are essential in Las Vegas. As such, Macao cannot and should not endeavour to reach the same level of diversification as Las Vegas due to the possible adverse consequences of being economically non-viable because of differences in market circumstances. These theoretical implications have been validated in reality in recent years. Indeed, the emergence of up-to-date resort assets have reinforced, rather than alleviated, the specialisation of Macao’s hospitality sector. The results suggest that casino tourism in Macao will continue to expand in a polarised fashion. The purpose of this study was to determine whether Macao’s diversification, although politically mandated, is economically realistic. With the implementation of policies such as the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area and the Guangdong–Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, it is hoped that the study’s policy relevance will become increasingly apparent in the coming years.

Gregorian Chant Ordinary Rediscovered – Examples of Using Gregorian Melodies of the Ordinary of the Mass in the 20thand 21st-Century Liturgical Compositions
Authors: Bajon Szymon
Published: November 2022

Official documents referring to laws and principles of music in the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church in Roman Rite remind that the Church acknowledges primacy of Gregorian chant but also allows other forms of singing, especially polyphony. It is, however, recommended that people’s participation in the singing of Ordinarium Missae should not be completely excluded. It can be slightly problematic to put those guidelines into practice. Certain suggestions of how to engage both people and a polyphonic choir may be found in selected compositions by Wolfram Menschick, Rev. Zdzisław Bernat and Katarzyna Danel.
Między tradycją a liberalizmem. Wybrane problemy związane z wykorzystaniem tekstów proprium mszalnego we współczesnej praktyce muzyki liturgicznej
Authors: Dobosz Krzysztof
Published: November 2022

Niezmienność sporej części tekstów, które funkcjonowały w liturgii łacińskiej była zasadą przez całą historię Kościoła. W warstwie muzycznej przeciwnie, stosowano coraz nowsze formy i style. Nie wykazywano się ostrożnością we wprowadzaniu nowinek, taką jak w przypadku nowych tekstów mszalnych. Dlatego można powiedzieć, że tradycja muzyki kościelnej opiera się przede wszystkim na związku z tekstem liturgicznym. W warstwie muzycznej podejściem „tradycyjnym” jest poszukiwanie nowych form wyrazu. W praktyce liturgicznej po Soborze Watykańskim II teksty antyfon oparte w dużej części na psalmach najczęściej zastępowane są pieśniami, w znakomitej większości o proweniencji ludowej. Powiązanie niektórych psalmów z konkretnymi momentami roku liturgicznego stało się nieczytelne. To wszystko doprowadziło do osłabienia więzi z Tradycją Kościoła zachodniego, a warunkiem jej odbudowy jest poszukiwanie form wyrazu adekwatnych do tego, czym jest liturgia w oparciu o jej tradycyjne teksty.

SEXUALIDADE NA ESCOLA: UMA DISCUSSÃO DAS OFICINAS “ADOLESCENTES E JOVENS PARA A EDUCAÇÃO ENTRE PARES”
Authors: Rodrigues Divino de Jesus da Silva , Cavalcanti Rita de Cássia Camelo Bueno
Published: November 2022

Este trabalho objetivou analisar a discursividade da proposta nas oficinas  pedagógicas dos fascículos sexualidades e saúde reprodutiva: adolescentes e jovens para a educação entre pares, inseridas no Projeto Saúde e Prevenção nas Escolas (SPE). As oficinas  constam textos pedagógicas com sugestões para que educadoras/es possam se basear e construir com os/as estudantes novos modos de se relacionar consigo e com as/os outras/os. Ao todo são oito os fascículos. No processo da análise discursiva desses fascículos, priorizou-se as orientações das oficinas pedagógicas presentes em apenas três dos fascículos, uma vez que esses tratam mais diretamente da questão da sexualidade. São eles: Sexualidade e Saúde Reprodutiva; Prevenção das DSTs, HIV e AIDS e Diversidades Sexuais. A pesquisa foi fundamentada nos pressupostos teóricos metodológicos da Análise de Discurso (AD) concebida a partir de Pêcheux  (1997; 2002) e  teoria do Discurso Pedagógico de Orlandi (1983; 2015). Os resultados revelam que o tipo de discursividade dos textos nas oficinas pedagógicas analisadas do SPE, são informativa. Revelam ainda, que nos textos das oficinas pedagógicas não se localizou espaços para que  as/os alunas/os expressassem suas dúvidas, inquietações, angústias e incertezas sobre o sexo e a sexualidade vivenciadas em sua singularidade. Contudo, as oficinas apontam reflexões as/aos estudantes de “cuidar” da sua saúde, adotando no dia a dia e no seu contexto de vida, medidas preventivas e protetivas para promoção de sua saúde sexual e saúde reprodutiva.
Corrosion of ordinary Portland cement and metakaolin-based geopolymer immersed in nitric acid solution
Authors: Lyu Qifeng , Chen Anguo , Dai Pengfei
Published: November 2022

Preventing the corrosion of cementitious materials in acidic environments is crucial for the safety and durability of infrastructure. The corrosion of specimens of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and metakaolin-based geopolymer (MKG) in 1 mol/l nitric acid solution was investigated in this work. The changes in morphology, mass, compressive strength, pH, chemical composition, crystal phases and pores were compared and analysed. The surfaces of the OPC specimens were corroded into petaloid grooves due to the relatively severe reaction between the calcium hydrated products and the nitric acid solution. The increase in the porosity of the OPC specimens was greater than that of MKG specimens, whose main constituents reacted with the nitric acid solution relatively mildly. However, large quantities of fragments peeled away from the MKG specimens, and their mass and compressive strength losses were greater than those of the OPC specimens. The porosities of the MKG specimens were only slightly changed. The strength loss of the MKG specimens was mainly due to broken matrix structures and newly formed porous silicious frameworks.
On Licensed Premises: Galloping Green Revisited
Authors: O'Grady Thomas
Published: November 2022

This note engages with Anthony Cronin's mentioning, in No Laughing Matter: The Life and Times of Flann O’Brien, that Brian O'Nolan was barred 'in writing' from drinking in Byrne's of Galloping Green, a pub within walking distance of O'Nolan's home in Stillorgan. While the letter barring O'Nolan seems not to be extant, this note offers a first-person remembering of both the physical pub that O'Nolan would have known in the early 1960s and the drinking climate there that he took exception to in a letter addressed to the proprietor, Gerry Byrne, that may have prompted Byrne's own letter barring him.
Effect of treatment in nitrogen plasma on the electrical parameters of AlGaN/GaN heterostructures
Authors: Еnisherlova K. L. , Seidman L. A. , Bogolyubova S. Yu.
Published: November 2022

In this work, the influence of deep levels formed at the SiON/AlGaN interface under the nitrogen plasma action during the deposition of a SiON film on the electrical parameters of SiON/AlGaN/GaN structures were studied. The concentration and mobility of free carriers in 2DEG and the capacitance parameters of the structures were measured. It has been experimentally established that short-term action of nitrogen plasma (25 and 50 sec.) does not change the concentration of free carriers in 2DEG, but leads to a decrease in their mobility. The value of the charge that can form at the SiON/AlGaN interface has been calculated. With the help of C–V measurements, it was experimentally shown how the charge in the SiON/AlGaN/GaN system changes during one measurement cycle at different voltage ranges. Based on the consideration of the energy band diagrams of the system, possible explanations for the charge redistribution processes in the analyzed system under certain actions are proposed.

В условиях технологической трансформации машиностроения особо актуализируется проблема подготовки высококвалифицированных специалистов — будущих компетентных разработчиков высоких технологий и наукоемких производств. Проведенный анализ показывает, что выпуск бакалавров, специалистов и магистров по укрупненной группе специальностей и направлений подготовки «Машиностроение» имеет тенденцию к росту, но в условиях реализуемой в РФ национальной технологической инициативы и c учетом масштабов страны не представляется достаточным.

Подготовка компетентных выпускников, предусматривающая в образовательном процессе профессиональную проработку вопросов междисциплинарной взаимосвязи и интеграции знаний из различных областей науки и техники, может быть обеспечена только высококомпетентным профессорско-преподавательским составом. При этом результаты анализа позволяют констатировать крайне недостаточное восполнение вузовских кадров, имеющих ученые степени по научной специальности «Машиностроение и машиноведение».

Перспективы исследования заключаются в разработке методических подходов, направленных на решение многоаспектных задач по развитию междисциплинарных связей при реализации образовательного процесса подготовки инновационных инженерных кадров.
Bridging the Seismic Monitoring Gap around Saba, St. Eustatius, and St. Maarten in the Caribbean Netherlands: The NA Network
Authors: Sleeman Reinoud , de Zeeuw-van Dalfsen Elske
Published: November 2022

The seismic network NA (Caribbean Netherlands Seismic Network) in the Caribbean Netherlands is deployed by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) to monitor local seismicity around Saba, St. Eustatius, and St. Maarten, and to contribute data to regional earthquake and tsunami warning monitoring systems. The network currently comprises 11 broadband seismometers that record data processed in real time at KNMI, using SeisComP and a coincidence trigger. Between January 2017 and April 2022, we detected and located 241 earthquakes within 150 km distance from the center of the network with magnitudes from 0.4 to 6. Reanalysis of data before 2017 revealed a swarm of 22 tectonic earthquakes in 2008, within 15 km distance west of Saba with magnitudes between 2.3 and 4 at shallow (5–10 km) depths. The complex seismic velocity structure, the large lateral velocity inhomogeneities in the subduction zone, and the elongated setup of the regional seismic network are challenges for the earthquake location process. We compare our results with the U.S. Geological Survey catalog and find differences that fall within the uncertainty ellipses for 85% of the earthquakes. The NA network is an important contribution to the regional earthquake and tsunami warning monitoring systems, and for studying subduction and volcanic processes in the Lesser Antilles arc.

The classification of seismic events is crucial for monitoring underground nuclear explosions and regional unnatural seismic events. To classify tectonic earthquakes, explosions, and mining-induced earthquakes, we established 36- and 60-dimensional network-averaged datasets and single-station datasets through feature extraction and spectral amplitude analysis. Using different artificial intelligence (AI) methods, including the support vector machine (SVM), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), long short-term memory network (LSTM), residual neural network, and long short-term memory fully convolutional network (LSTM-FCN), we constructed two-class and three-class models, analyzed the change in the classification with epicentral distances, and evaluated the generalizability of different classifiers. The results showed that the accuracies of different AI models with the feature extraction dataset were higher than those achieved with the spectral amplitude dataset, indicating that the feature extraction method can more clearly highlight the differences between different types of seismic events. The accuracies with the network-averaged dataset were 5%–8% higher than that achieved using the single-station dataset. The earthquake and mining-induced earthquake classifiers constructed by different AI methods had the best performance, followed by the earthquake and explosion classifier, and the explosion and mining-induced earthquake classifier, with average accuracies of 97.4%–98.4%, 96.5%–97.6%, and 88.8%–90.6%, respectively. In the model generalization evaluation, the test accuracies and F1-Scores of the two-class models with the 36-dimensional network-averaged dataset exceeded 90%. Among the five AI methods, XGBoost and LSTM both performed well in classification of different datasets, indicating that these models have good application prospects for seismic event classifications.
Locating Volcanic Earthquakes and Tremors Using Delay Time and Amplitude Ratio Information from Cross-Correlation Functions
Authors: Permana Theodorus , Aoyama Hiroshi
Published: November 2022

Volcanic tremors and earthquakes must be monitored to gain insights into volcanic activity. Localization of their sources is often challenging because of the unclear onset of seismic waves, particularly when the volcanic activity increases before and during an eruption. Existing alternative techniques to locate the seismic sources are based on the information on the spatial amplitude distribution or the travel-time difference of seismic waves. Exploring the idea of combining both information for source location determination, we propose a new location method that uses the amplitude and travel-time difference information obtained from the unnormalized cross correlations of seismic data. Evaluation using volcanic earthquakes that occurred in 2020 at Tokachidake volcano, Japan, reveals an improvement in location accuracy compared to existing methods using individual information. Analysis of an episode of volcanic tremors and earthquakes accompanying a rapid tilt change event on 14 September 2020 reveals that during the inflation of the crater area, reliable seismic source locations with an error of ≤1 km become more concentrated at around 0.6 km beneath the 62-2 crater, in which the most recent eruptive activity had occurred. Such changes in source locations are associated with the movement of volcanic gas and hot water from the hydrothermal system below. Our proposed method is useful for locating and monitoring seismic source locations corresponding to volcanic fluid movements.

To accelerate the optimization of selective electron-beam melting (SEBM) processing parameters, two machine learning models, Gaussian process regression, and support vector regression were applied in this work to predict the relative density of Inconel 718 from experimental data. The experimental validation indicated that the trained algorithms can precisely predict the relative density of SEBM samples. Moreover, the effects of different parameters on surface integrity, internal defects, and mechanical properties are discussed in this paper. The Inconel 718 samples with high density (>99.5%) prepared by the same SEBM energy density exhibit different mechanical properties, which are related to the existence of the unmelted powder, Laves phase, and grain structure. Finally, Inconel 718 sample with superior strength and plasticity was fabricated using the optimized processing parameters.

Published: November 2022

AIM: To investigate the value of cytokine analysis in aqueous humor (AH) for discriminating vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL) from uveitis and for evaluating the efficacy of intravitreal methotrexate (MTX) injections.
METHODS: This retrospective study was done on 28 VRL patients between 2013 and 2019. AH interleukin (IL)-10, IL-6, IL-8, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and vascular cell adhesion molecules (VCAM) were measured in 28 VRL patients and 38 uveitis patients. As to the respective examinations for distinguishing VRL from uveitis, the diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The response to treatment was monitored by observing changes in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), ocular manifestation, and AH cytokine levels in 21 patients with VRL who had undergo multiple intravitreal injections of MTX.
RESULTS: Compared with uveitis patients, VRL patients had higher IL-10 level (P<0.001) and IL-10/IL-6 ratio (P<0.001), whereas patients with uveitis had significantly higher IL-6 level than those with VRL (P=0.003). An ROC analysis was used to identify the diagnostic threshold values for VRL, and it was found that optimal sensitivity and specificity improved to 94.1% and 100%, respectively, for IL-10/IL-6>1.55 and 88.2% and 81.1%, respectively, for IL-10>76.7 pg/mL. In 21 patients who had undergo repeated injections, improvements in BCVA, clinical remission of VRL and continuous decrease in cytokine levels over time were observed. In those patients, the BCVA correlated with the aqueous levels of IL-10 and IL-6 during the course of disease treatment.
CONCLUSION: The combination of the aqueous cytokine profiles can be instrumental for conventional diagnostic methods and for progression monitoring and treatment response.
