Mozart, Genius, and the Possibilities of Art
Authors: Goehring Edmund J.
Published: January 2025

Demonstrates that the concept of genius is as vitally needed as ever and can illuminate the workings of Mozart's creative imagination.Much recent, distinguished Mozart criticism has set out a critique of the concept of genius. Whether following the scientist seeking greater objectivity, the postmodernist proclaiming the death of the author, the historian concerned about anachronism, or the critic who warns about making despotic claims, this demystifying literature has taken the weakening of genius's accumulated cultural authority as an indispensable step in arriving at a clarified Mozart.

Mozart, Genius, and the Possibilities of Art advances a contrary claim. It proposes that anti-Romantic accounts of Mozart's genius themselves get lost in both the infinitely big—in utopianism and millenarianism—and the infinitesimally small—in materialism and process. Throughout, the book buttresses this argument with probing readings from contemporary documents ranging from ephemeral periodical literature to Kant's Third Critique, along with original analyses of the music itself.

Goehring's book goes on to detail a contrasting Romantic portrait of Mozart's genius, one that allowed for ambiguity, embraced experience, and did not scorn reason. In Mozart's day, the term genius spoke to the unquantifiable and unpredictable in human inventiveness. And it continues to do so today. Goehring shows how the persisting fascination with an ingenious Mozart wells up from the middle of things, from the particularity of human beings—their "genie"—and the visible yet complex world of human intention and action.
Charles Bridgeman (c.1685-1738)
Authors: Haynes Susan
Published: January 2025

An examination of the garden plans of eighteenth-century landscape architect Charles Bridgeman, shedding light on his artistic vision and contributions to English garden history.

Charles Bridgeman was a popular and highly successful landscape architect in the first part of the eighteenth century. He was Royal Gardener to George I and George II, designing the gardens at Kensington Palace for them and working for many of the ruling Whig elite, including Sir Robert Walpole at Houghton Hall in Norfolk. His landscapes were audacious and monumental, but he is barely known outside the world of academic garden history; most of his gardens have disappeared, changed out of all recognition to chime with later tastes shaped by Lancelot Brown's vision of a more "natural" landscape, or buried under housing developments and golf courses; and there is little archaeological or written evidence of his work.

This book aims to redress this injustice and rescue his legacy. It draws on the only significant body of evidence which survived him: an extensive but wildly heterogenous corpus of garden plans. Close examination of them reveals an artistic vision heavily influenced by the late seventeenth-century geometric garden but deeply rooted in the "genius of the place", and working methods that include a proto-business model which prefigures the gentleman improvers who followed him. The volume brings him from obscurity to demonstrate his skill as an artist, a manipulator of space on a grand scale and a consummate practitioner, a deserved member of the canon of famous and revered English landscape gardeners.
St Helena
Authors: MacGregor Arthur
Published: January 2025

Traces the impact of world events on St Helena's topography, ecology and human population, from the early 1500s to the present day.

Since its discovery in the early 1500s, St Helena - though remotely situated - has repeatedly participated in events taking place on a world stage; evidence of those encounters is etched on the topography, ecology and human population of the island. This book examines the impacts of a century of casual but destructive visits from sailing ships of various nations followed by settlement by the East India Company; the fortification and population of the island by the Company, including the importation of an enslaved population; efforts to make it economically self-reliant; its employment a base for scientific observations from Edmond Halley to Joseph Hooker and beyond; its role as a prison-fortress from Napoleon to the twentieth century and as a base for anti-slavery patrols in the South Atlantic following the Abolition of Slavery; its decline since the end of the days of sail; measures taken to reconnect it with the modern world in terms of sea and air travel as well as electronic communication; and efforts to regain to some degree the ecological diversity of the virgin island setting.
Border Poetics in German and Polish Literature
Authors: Karolina May-Chu Karolina
Published: January 2025

Examines how contemporary German and Polish novels reimagine borderlands as cosmopolitan spaces by engaging in border poetics, a narrative practice that relates political borders to figurative boundaries.

Globalization notwithstanding, we live in an age of borders, as the ongoing conflict at Europe's eastern edge reminds us. Borders are meant to protect, but they more often divide and exclude. This book, however, focuses on literature that pushes back against the divisiveness of borders, advocating for transborder connections and criticizing exclusionary boundaries. It examines novels that reimagine past and present German-Polish borderlands as cosmopolitan spaces. Novels by Nobel Prize winners Olga Tokarczuk and Günter Grass are discussed alongside works by authors less well known internationally: the Polish Inga Iwasiów, the German Tanja Dückers, and the German-Polish Sabrina Janesch.

The book utilizes and elaborates the concept of border poetics, a narrative and cultural practice that places political borders in relation to less concrete borders such as those of gender, ethnicity, or class, as well as in relation to epistemological and ontological boundaries: of language, knowledge, even reality. Because border poetics rests on the same productive tension between the particular and the universal that drives contemporary notions of cosmopolitanism, the book argues for the practice as an expression of what sociologist Gerard Delanty has termed "cosmopolitan imagination." The richly contextualized analysis is framed within transnational German Studies and draws on border studies, cosmopolitanism, European literature, and world literature.
La informalidad como herramienta de gobierno espacial: la paradoja del desarrollo del chabolismo en el Madrid franquista (1940-1960)
Authors:   Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid, España., Manzano-Gómez Noel Antonio
Published: January 2025

Durante la dictadura franquista, viviendas humildes e ilegales, conocidas como “chabolas”, se desarrollaron en grandes proporciones en la periferia de Madrid, contradiciendo de forma flagrante el recientemente implementado planeamiento urbano de la ciudad. Para comprender dicha aparente contradicción se han analizado textos legales, archivos urbanísticos, literatura urbanística y fuentes epistolares sobre el chabolismo madrileño. Los resultados de la investigación muestran cómo, más allá de la retórica de la dictadura, el régimen facilitó una gestión diferencial de dichos espa-cios, inicialmente tolerándolos y posteriormente desencadenando procesos de des-posesión con procedimientos administrativos que podríamos calificar de informales.
Barrios vulnerables y bienestar mental. Explorando correlaciones significativas en tres casos del Gran Concepción, Chile
Authors:   Universidad del Bío-Bío, Concepción, Chile., Napadensky Aarón , Contreras Sergio ,   Universidad del Bío-Bío, Concepción, Chile.
Published: January 2025

Existe consenso respecto de la incidencia del barrio en el bienestar mental, especialmente sus áreas verdes. Sin embargo, nuestra hipótesis plantea que no siempre este atributo llega a ser significativo. En vecindarios vulnerables, socialmente estigmatizados y urbanamente poco conectados, otros atributos barriales, distintos de las áreas verdes, podrían tener correlaciones tanto o más significativas. Para discutir esto, tomamos tres barrios y levantamos 300 encuestas, cualificando a los encuestados según atributos personales, de entorno construido, hábitos urbanos y percepciones declaradas sobre su vecindario y bienestar mental. Analizados estadísticamente, mediante una matriz policórica y pruebas de independencia estadística, los resultados arrojan áreas verdes sin correlación significativa con el bienestar mental, como sí lo evidenciaron percepciones sobre la estética barrial, sentido de integración urbana y hábitos como la caminata. Esto no invalida la positiva potencialidad de las áreas verdes sobre el bienestar mental, pero sugiere nuevas estrategias proyectuales que podrían ser relevantes para su activación.
La técnica desde los marcos teóricos de la evolución biológica y de la economía de la salvación.
Authors:   Facultad de Filosofía y Letras - Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina, Florio Lucio
Published: January 2025

Se propone una reflexión teológica sobre la técnica que incorpore dos grandes marcos teóricos de carácter temporal: por una parte, el marco científico de un universo y vida en evolución; por otra parte, la economía de la salvación que incluya la actual situación planetaria debido a la actividad tecnológica. De este modo, la técnica es considerada de un modo diacrónico y en un modo científico y teológico a la vez. El Antropoceno, período definido por la intervención humana sobre el planeta principalmente por medio de la actividad técnica, aparece como una etapa crucial en la economía de la creación y de la salvación

Published: January 2025

Nanotechnology is an emerging field with immense potential to revolutionize agriculture by enhancing productivity, resource efficiency, and sustainability. Its applications span diverse areas, including nano-fertilizers for improved nutrient uptake, nano-pesticides for targeted pest control, and nanosensors for real-time monitoring of soil and crop health. These advancements address critical agricultural challenges, such as nutrient inefficiency, pest resistance, and environmental degradation. Nano-enabled smart delivery systems optimize the use of fertilizers and pesticides, reducing environmental contamination and improving yield. Nanotechnology also facilitates soil remediation, enhances microbial health, and provides innovative water purification techniques, making it instrumental in mitigating resource scarcity and pollution. Its role in precision agriculture, through IoT-integrated nanosensors, enables data-driven farming practices that improve decision-making and resource allocation. Despite its promise, the adoption of nanotechnology faces barriers, including potential toxicity of nanomaterials, long-term environmental risks, and concerns over food safety and human health. High production costs, limited scalability, and a lack of regulatory frameworks hinder widespread implementation, particularly in developing countries. Future research must focus on eco-friendly and biodegradable nanomaterials, scalable manufacturing methods, and the development of cost-effective technologies accessible to smallholder farmers. Robust policy frameworks, standardized safety guidelines, and public-private collaborations are essential to ensure the safe and ethical integration of nanotechnology in agriculture. Equally important are educational initiatives to enhance farmer awareness and build public trust in these innovations. By addressing these challenges, nanotechnology can play a transformative role in creating a sustainable, climate-resilient agricultural system capable of meeting the demands of a growing global population while protecting environmental and human health.

Refrigeration systems play a critical role in various sectors of Nigeria’s economy, particularly in food preservation, healthcare, and industrial processes. However, the use of conventional synthetic refrigerants, which contribute significantly to global warming and ozone depletion, poses environmental challenges. This study presents a thermodynamic analysis of single-stage vapor compression refrigeration systems in Nigeria, focusing on the use of natural refrigerants as eco-friendly alternatives to identify eco-friendly refrigerant alternatives for Nigeria’s climate. This study conducts a thermodynamic analysis of single-stage vapor compression refrigeration systems in Nigeria, evaluating natural refrigerants such as ammonia (R-717), propane (R-290), and isobutane (R-600a) as alternatives to synthetic refrigerants that contribute to global warming and ozone depletion. Using Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software, the study assesses the impact of varying operational conditions on the coefficient of performance (COP) for each refrigerant The effect in the variation of five operating parameters of refrigeration system such as Condensing Temperature (TC), Evaporating Temperature (TE), Subcooling Temperature (TSub), Superheating Temperature (TSup) and refrigerant mass flow rate ( ) on the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of are R-600a, R-600, R-717 and R-290 refrigeration systems were investigated and performance comparison was made to get the most suitable replacement for the older systems. The results showed that R-717 yields the highest coefficient of performance of 3.858 when evaporating temperature (TE) is 0oC while R-290 (Propane) gave the lowest Coefficient of Performance of 3.555 when evaporating Tempearture (TE) is 0 o­­C. The results showed that as TC increases from 30 oC to 80 oC, COP decreased for all the four refrigerants. As TE decreases, COP reduced, also COP increased as TSub increases from 0 oC to 20 oC. COP of R-717 is consistently higher than that of the other three natural refrigerants. Findings reveal that R-717 yields the highest COP under Nigerian climatic conditions, positioning it as a promising, eco-friendly replacement.  This research supports efforts to adopt sustainable refrigerants in Nigeria, contributing to climate goals and guiding policy and industry stakeholders in selecting efficient refrigerants for high-temperature regions.

Published: January 2025

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the prevalence of temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) among telemarketers and identify factors associated with its occurrence, particularly those related to occupational conditions.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 200 telemarketers from a call center in Brazil, utilizing interviews and physical examinations. Clinical, socio-demographic, occupational, and psychosocial aspects, including the Job content Questionnaire (JCQ) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), were assessed. Signs, symptoms, and severity of TMD were determined using the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) scale and the Temporomandibular Index (TMI), respectively. Descriptive analysis was performed, and odds ratios (OR) were calculated using unconditional logistic regression, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) as the criterion for identifying the associations.
Results: The prevalence of TMD among telemarketers was 40.50%, with low severity (IMR=0.08±0.02). Positive associations were found between TMD and length of service exceeding seven months (adjusted OR= 2.0; 95% CI: 1.1- 4.0), an average of more than 82 calls per day (adjusted OR= 2.1; 95% CI: 1.1- 3.9), and a high-stress level (adjusted OR= 2.1; 95% CI: 1.1- 4.4).
Conclusion: This study concludes that the prevalence of TMD among telemarketers in Brazil is 40.5%. The findings suggest an association between TMD and occupational factors such as prolonged job tenure, high daily call volume, and elevated stress levels in the studied population.

Crop variety identification is an essential link in seed detection, phenotype collection and scientific breeding. DUS testing is one of the important criteria to test varieties for distinctness, uniformity and stability. Effective plant breeding programme requires a basic understanding of the existence of genetic variability in a population. Evaluation and characterization of groundnut germplasm lines are important due to the increasing need for varietal development. Hence, in the present study morphological characterization of seventy six germplasm lines of RARS, Palem were carried out as per the descriptors provided by National Test Guidelines and UPOV for the conduct of DUS test. Out of sixteen characters under study, 2 characters were found monomorphic, three were dimorphic, nine were trimorphic and two characters were with tetramorphic, indicating that, all the characters were informative with respect to trait expression cum characterization. Based on the presence of wide variation in the groundnut germplasm lines, these can be further utilized in breeding programmes.

Published: January 2025

Newcastle disease (ND) and avian colibacillosis (AC) outbreak occurred in a 200-bird commercial broiler flock in Maiduguri, Nigeria. Despite vaccinations, the flock experienced a 60% morbidity and 45% mortality rate. Symptoms observed among the flock included weakness, inappetence, diarrhea, nervous signs, and emaciation. Laboratory tests confirmed ND and AC infections. Haemagglutination and haemagglutination inhibition was used to identify NDV infection while bacteriological culture and identification was used isolated Escherichia coli (E. coli). The outbreak highlights the economic impact of these diseases on the poultry industry in Nigeria. Recommendations include improved biosecurity measures, regular vaccination, and timely treatment of secondary bacterial infections. Public health concerns also arise due to the zoonotic potential of ND. The vaccine failure in this case may be due to break in cold chain due to power outage, antigenic variation or inappropriate handling. Further research is needed to investigate vaccine failures and develop more effective prevention strategies.
O DIREITO À DESCONEXÃO DO TRABALHO NA PERCEPÇÃO DOS BANCÁRIOS
Authors: Ermes Streit Rosalvo , Simas Schultz Valéria , Paula Bernardi Ana
Published: January 2025

Esta pesquisa trata do direito à desconexão do trabalho, que tem por objetivo garantir que o trabalhador não labore e que não seja acionado, especialmente por sistemas e dispositivos eletrônicos, fora do horário e dos dias de sua jornada, sem que sofra qualquer represália por não estar disponível 24 horas por dia, sete dias por semana. Verificou-se essa garantia na França, Itália, Alemanha, Espanha, Coreia do Sul e Chile e investigou-se, por meio de uma survey, a percepção de 331 bancários e de duas entidades representativas sobre o direito de desconexão do trabalho. Dentre os achados destaca-se que as tecnologias são utilizadas de forma intensa no trabalho a distância, que os benefícios tendem a superar as consequências negativas e que a regulamentação legislativa do tema é a maneira mais adequada e efetiva para garantir o direito à desconexão do trabalho, na percepção dos bancários e de suas entidades representativas.
DO “LADO BRILHANTE DOS POBRES” AO BOLSONARISMO POPULAR: uma análise conjuntural acerca do impacto do lulismo e do bolsonarismo sobre as classes populares
Authors: Pinto Neto Moysés
Published: January 2025

O texto busca compreender o processo viral do bolsonarismo no âmbito das periferias, contrapondo-se – inspirado em Hall e Grossberg – a análises conjunturais cuja explicação se dá unicamente em nível macropolítico ou macroeconômico, e sempre de cima para baixo (das elites/mídias para o popular). Para tanto, recupera a literatura sobre a “nova classe média” ou “nova classe trabalhadora” durante a década passada e procura comparar, em uma meta-análise das recentes pesquisas trazidas pelas ciências sociais, o “antes” (lulismo) e o “depois” (bolsonarismo). Atravessando os conceitos e propondo um balanço do progressismo, da sociologia crítica e do pensamento nômade, deságua na noção de que as múltiplas tendências se atualizaram de modo bovarista nas classes populares a partir do bolsonarismo popular.

NOTAS SOBRE PROCESSOS MIGRATÓRIOS E TRANSNACIONALIDADE: reflexões sobre planejamento urbano latino-americano
Authors: Dimenstein Marcela , Elali Gleice
Published: January 2025

O Brasil tem lugar de destaque nos processos migratórios na América Latina, recebendo grandes contingentes de migrantes da região. Nas últimas décadas, impulsionados por fatores relacionados aos efeitos do neoliberalismo e da globalização acelerada, o deslocamento de pessoas de diferentes nacionalidades atingiu patamares e características preocupantes em várias regiões do país que se tornaram importantes corredores migratórios. Considerando que a chegada de grupos étnicos impacta o espaço urbano, introduzindo novas complexidades ao seu planejamento e gestão, este artigo analisa as repercussões das migrações internacionais na produção do espaço e no modelo hegemônico de cidade, adotando uma abordagem transnacional e multicultural.
A DISTRIBUIÇÃO ENTRE TRABALHO PRODUTIVO E REPRODUTIVO EM TEMPO DE DESPADRONIZAÇÃO DA JORNADA DE TRABALHO
Authors: Teixeira Marilane , Freitas Paula , Dari Krein José , Pereira Súllivan
Published: January 2025

O artigo analisa os impactos da tendência contemporânea de despadronização da jornada e de fragmentação do trabalho das pessoas ocupadas, a partir de um recorte de sexo e raça. Foram considerados os dados acerca da quantidade de horas de trabalho produtivo por marcadores sociais, assim como outras estatísticas disponíveis sobre a distribuição do tempo e as formas como mulheres e homens, pessoas brancas e negras organizam o tempo dedicado a reprodução social e como se dá a distribuição do tempo entre trabalho produtivo e reprodutivo considerando os marcadores de sexo e raça. A hipótese é que as pessoas negras e as mulheres estão em ocupações mais precárias e sofrem os efeitos da divisão racial e sexual do trabalho, especialmente na subocupação por insuficiência de horas e segmentação das ocupações; pelos rendimentos rebaixados; e pelo acúmulo com mais horas para as atividades de cuidados e/ou afazeres domésticos e no trabalho informal.

Published: January 2025

El objetivo del artículo es analizar la incidencia de las medidas de Aislamiento Social Preventivo y Obligatorio establecidas en el contexto de la pandemia por covid-19, en las trayectorias de vida de mujeres adolescentes internadas por padecimientos de salud mental en un hospital en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires en 2021. Se aplicó una metodología cualitativa, con un muestreo no probabilístico intencional de entrevistas semiestructuradas a 9 profesionales de equipos tratantes, a 2 adolescentes que atravesaron dichas internaciones y a 2 personas significativas. Como fuentes secundarias se analizaron informes e historias sociales relacionadas con las situaciones de las jóvenes. Se considera el neoliberalismo como arte de gobierno que, entre otras múltiples funciones, implica la gestión biopolítica del sufrimiento de los sujetos. Las conclusiones incluyen que la pandemia operó como potenciador de situaciones de padecimiento psíquico por las que se internaron las adolescentes, en convergencia con factores sociohistóricos y contextuales.

A INÉRCIA AFETIVA DE MULHERES COM DIPLOMA DE ENSINO SUPERIOR: excesso de trabalho, trajetórias afetivas não realizadas e prejuízos emocionais
Authors: Chaves Jardim Maria , Caetano de Souza Thaís
Published: January 2025

Os estudos sobre o amor têm crescido ao longo dos anos, evidenciando a centralidade que o tema tem ganhado na sociedade contemporânea. Nessa agenda de estudos, um tema pouco estudado é a ausência ou privação do amor. Neste artigo, buscamos objetivar a privação do amor a partir de um grupo de mulheres solteiras heterossexuais na faixa dos 40 anos e com diploma de ensino superior. Nossa estratégia metodológica foi a imersão virtual a partir de um curso sobre relacionamento e a reconstrução da trajetória de duas mulheres. Os dados indicam que essas mulheres fazem parte de uma geração que investiu na carreira e, por isso, tiveram uma ruptura na trajetória afetiva quando transgrediram uma das principais regras do campo do amor: o casamento. Além disso, o excesso de trabalho ajudaria a isolar essas mulheres afetivamente, que passam a ter prejuízos emocionais em decorrência da privação afetiva.
LA CRISIS DE LA PRESENCIA Y LA SUBJETIVIDAD NEOLIBERAL. APUNTES PARA UNA TEORÍA INACABADA
Authors: Martínez-Hernáez Ángel
Published: January 2025

Este artículo plantea una reflexión sobre la potencialidad del concepto de “crisis de la presencia” de Ernesto de Martino para entender la subjetividad neoliberal y sus colapsos. La crisis de la presencia es la fragilidad del ser que genera una pérdida de la capacidad de acción sobre el mundo objetivo, de tal forma que el sujeto es actuado por el mundo más que actuar por sí mismo, perdiendo así su agentividad (agency). Este concepto fue retomado por los autores de Tiqqun para debatir sobre la crisis existencial en el régimen neoliberal (teoría del Bloom). Siguiendo críticamente a estos autores, se argumenta aquí que dicha crisis es inseparable del declive de las relaciones de reciprocidad en el neoliberalismo, así como del auge de una subjetividad centrípeta basada en la relación consumidor-mercancía en este gobierno de la vida.
SUBJETIVAÇÕES NEOLIBERAIS E SOFRIMENTO SOCIAL: políticas globais de saúde mental em tempos de neoliberalismo
Authors: Weidner Maluf Sônia
Published: January 2025

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as políticas globais de saúde mental no contexto pós pandemia e no quadro mais amplo de hegemonia neoliberal. Para isso, serão analisados documentos de balanço das primeiras décadas da Organização Mundial de Saúde e dois documentos recentes sobre as políticas e ações em saúde mental e o relatório saúde mental mundial. A abordagem será a da leitura etnográfica de documentos. A leitura desses documentos busca entender como um determinado modo hegemônico de apreensão do sofrimento se reflete (seja como reprodução, seja como resistência) nas políticas de saúde mental e, em especial, nas políticas globais de saúde. A proposta parte da constatação de que a forma específica das subjetivações neoliberais remete a formas específicas de produzir e lidar com o sofrimento e as aflições. A pergunta de fundo, na perspectiva da abordagem antropológica da saúde, é como uma experiência social de sofrimento é produzida como problema psicológico, psiquiátrico ou biomédico em geral e o quanto essa matriz de apreensão do sujeito responde a uma razão neoliberal.
PADRÕES DEPRESSIVOS: fenotipagem digital e subjetivação neoliberal
Authors: P. Ferreira Pedro , Gonçalves Rafael
Published: January 2025

Assistimos hoje a uma quantidade crescente de diagnósticos de ansiedade e depressão, ao mesmo tempo em que as práticas e os discursos psicológicos e psiquiátricos assumem, frequentemente, certa proximidade com os ideais políticos e econômicos neoliberais de maximização imperativa (medicalizada ou tecnicamente mediada) do desempenho e do prazer. Paralelamente a isso, os sistemas de inteligência artificial e as técnicas de aprendizado de máquina vêm sendo cada vez mais empregados em processos de automatização de cada vez mais esferas da vida, inclusive no âmbito do diagnóstico e tratamento da saúde mental. Partindo desse cenário contemporâneo, propomos neste artigo percorrer um trajeto que se inicia no site de um aplicativo para automonitoramento de saúde mental, se aprofunda em sua fundamentação tecnocientífica e econômica, e culmina no desdobramento da racionalidade neoliberal que o sustenta. Concluímos com considerações sobre as implicações mais amplas do modo de funcionamento das técnicas de aprendizado de máquina, em especial sua tendência de reproduzir o passado e descartar o singular.

Objetivo: conhecer os impactos da pandemia pela COVID-19 na (in)segurança alimentar, nutricional e na disponibilidade intrafamiliar de alimentos no Brasil. Metodologia: Conduzido por meio de uma abordagem de websurvey no período de outubro de 2021 a abril de 2022, este estudo utilizou a Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar para mensurar a insegurança alimentar. A avaliação da disponibilidade intrafamiliar de alimentos foi realizada por meio de um questionário que investigou a frequência domiciliar de grupos alimentares nos últimos sete dias. Diversos domínios, abrangendo aspectos sociais, econômicos e nutricionais, foram incorporados à análise. A análise estatística envolveu o uso de estatísticas descritivas, assim como o teste Mann-Whitney para avaliar discrepâncias entre valores quantitativos em relação à classificação binária da Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar, e o teste exato de Fisher para a associação entre variáveis qualitativas. Resultados: a prevalência de insegurança alimentar foi identificada em 46,6% dos 671 participantes. Indivíduos nessa condição reportaram uma redução na disponibilidade de alimentos, especialmente aqueles classificados como saudáveis. Observou-se uma correlação estatisticamente significativa (p <0,05) entre insegurança alimentar e fatores socioeconômicos, tais como menor escolaridade, perda de emprego e/ou redução de renda durante a pandemia, além de uma menor disponibilidade intrafamiliar de alimentos saudáveis. Conclusão: os índices de insegurança alimentar e a escassez intrafamiliar de alimentos, elucidados neste estudo, provavelmente refletem a diminuição de renda e poder de compra dos indivíduos brasileiros, consequência direta da pandemia de COVID-19.

Introdução: o tratamento endodôntico consiste no esvaziamento e desinfecção dos canais radiculares. O sucesso do tratamento, por vezes, pode ser comprometido por complicações como canais calcificados, coroas protéticas que dificultam acesso aos canais e lesões periapicais persistentes. Visando a resolução de casos complexos na endodontia, de forma mais eficaz e segura, surge a endodontia guiada, tecnologia recente que envolve planejamento tomográfico, resultando em um modelo 3D. Objetivo: avaliar a percepção e o conhecimento de endodontistas acerca da endodontia guiada. Metodologia: trata-se de uma pesquisa observacional, em que, através de um formulário on-line, foi avaliado o nível de conhecimento e a percepção de endodontistas sobre a endodontia guiada. O formulário foi enviado através de redes sociais, entre os meses de junho e julho de 2024. Resultados:  observou-se que 100% dos indivíduos da amostra já tinham ouvido falar sobre endodontia guiada, embora, para 44,7% deles, o estudo da endodontia guiada não estivesse incluído no conteúdo programático da pós-graduação. A maioria, 85 respondentes, utilizam a endodontia guiada para a resolução de casos complexos, comumente para canais radiculares calcificados (66%), microcirurgia endodôntica (51,5%) e remoção de pino de fibra de vidro (31,1%). Conclusão – A endodontia guiada está sendo cada vez mais adotada por profissionais, em função de promover eficácia, segurança e conforto, destacando-se a importância de atualização contínua dos profissionais para maximizar os benefícios dessa técnica.

Importance

In the last 3 years, people in England have lived through a pandemic and cost-of-living and health care crises, all of which may have contributed to worsening mental health in the population.

Objective

To estimate trends in psychological distress among adults over this period and to examine differences by key potential moderators.

Design, Setting, and Participants

A monthly cross-sectional, nationally representative household survey of adults aged 18 years or older was conducted in England between April 2020 and December 2022.

Main Outcomes and Measures

Past-month distress was assessed with the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale. Time trends in any distress (moderate to severe, scores ≥5) and severe distress (scores ≥13) were modeled, and interactions with age, gender, occupational social grade, children in the household, smoking status, and drinking risk status were tested.

Results

Data were collected from 51 861 adults (weighted mean [SD] age, 48.6 [18.5] years; 26 609 women [51.3%]). There was little overall change in the proportion of respondents reporting any distress (from 34.5% to 32.0%; prevalence ratio [PR], 0.93; 95% CI, 0.87-0.99), but the proportion reporting severe distress increased by 46%, from 5.7% to 8.3% (PR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.21-1.76). Although trends differed by sociodemographic characteristics, smoking, and drinking, the increase in severe distress was observed across all subgroups (with PR estimates ranging from 1.17 to 2.16), with the exception of those aged 65 years and older (PR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.43-1.38); the increase was particularly pronounced since late 2021 among those younger than 25 years (increasing from 13.6% in December 2021 to 20.2% in December 2022).

Conclusions and Relevance

In this survey study of adults in England, the proportion reporting any psychological distress was similar in December 2022 to that in April 2020 (an extremely difficult and uncertain moment of the COVID-19 pandemic), but the proportion reporting severe distress was 46% higher. These findings provide evidence of a growing mental health crisis in England and underscore an urgent need to address its cause and to adequately fund mental health services.
Face pareidolia in products: The effect of emotional content on attentional capture, eagerness to explore, and likelihood to purchase
Authors: Noble Erin , Wodehouse Andrew , Robertson David J.
Published: July 2023

Face‐like configurations can be perceived in everyday products. This perceptual phenomenon is known as face pareidolia. However, few studies have investigated the perception of pareidolic emotion in such products and the effect it could have on consumer behaviour. Therefore, in this study, across two experiments, we test the extent to which participants perceive core human emotions in products with pareidolic configurations (Experiment 1), and how this affects key consumer metrics (i.e., likely attentional capture, eagerness to explore, likelihood to purchase; Experiment 2). The findings show that these products do elicit the full range of affective content, with variation in perceived emotional intensity. Products with ‘happy’, ‘angry’ and ‘surprise’ configurations were likely to capture attention/promote product exploration, but only ‘happy’ products retained this advantage for purchasing decisions. Individual differences in mood and level of loneliness predicted likely engagement with these products. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
Microphysiological Systems for Cancer Immunotherapy Research and Development
Authors: Peng Yansong , Lee Esak
Published: July 2023

Cancer immunotherapy focuses on the use of patients’ adaptive immune systems to combat cancer. In the past decade, FDA has approved many immunotherapy products for cancer patients who suffer from primary tumors, tumor relapse, and metastases. However, these immunotherapies still show resistance in many patients and often lead to inconsistent responses in patients due to variations in tumor genetic mutations and tumor immune microenvironment. Microfluidics‐based organ‐on‐a‐chip technologies or microphysiological systems have opened new ways that can provide relatively fast screening for personalized immunotherapy and help researchers and clinicians understand tumor‐immune interactions in a patient‐specific manner. They also have the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional drug screening and testing, given the models provide a more realistic 3D microenvironment with better controllability, reproducibility, and physiological relevance. This review focuses on the cutting‐edge microphysiological organ‐on‐a‐chip devices developed in recent years for studying cancer immunity and testing cancer immunotherapeutic agents, as well as some of the largest challenges of translating this technology to clinical applications in immunotherapy and personalized medicine.
A Specific Protective Mechanism Against Chloroplast Photo‐Reactive Oxygen Species in Phosphate‐Starved Rice Plants
Authors: Xu Zhan
Published: July 2023

Phosphorus (Pi) starvation prevents a good match between light energy absorption and photosynthetic carbon metabolism, generating photo‐reactive oxygen species (photo‐ROS) in chloroplasts. Plants have evolved to withstand photo‐oxidative stress, but the key regulatory mechanism underlying it remains unclear. In rice (Oryza sativa), DEEP GREEN PANICLE1 (DGP1) is robustly up‐regulated in response to Pi deficiency. DGP1 decreases the DNA‐binding capacities of the transcriptional activators GLK1/2 on the photosynthetic genes involved in chlorophyll biosynthesis, light harvesting, and electron transport. This Pi‐starvation‐induced mechanism dampens both electron transport rates through photosystem I and II (ETRI and ETRII) and thus mitigates the electron‐excessive stress in mesophyll cells. Meanwhile, DGP1 hijacks glycolytic enzymes GAPC1/2/3, redirecting glucose metabolism toward the pentose phosphate pathway with superfluous NADPH production. Phenotypically, light irradiation induces O2− production in Pi‐starved WT leaves but is observably accelerated in dgp1 mutant and impaired in GAPCsRNAi and glk1glk2 lines. Interestingly, overexpressed DGP1 in rice caused hyposensitivity to ROS‐inducers (catechin and methyl viologen), but the dgp1 mutant shows a similar inhibitory phenotype with the WT seedlings. Overall, the DGP1 gene serves as a specific antagonizer against photo‐ROS in Pi‐starved rice plants, which coordinates light‐absorbing and anti‐oxidative systems by orchestrating transcriptional and metabolic regulations, respectively.
