Abstract Objective To identify whether there is a difference in plasma and erythrocyte zinc concentration in older adults with and without Alzheimer's disease. Methods Crosssectional study with a comparative group, conducted with older adults with and without Alzheimer's disease, matched by sex, education, and age. Zinc concentration was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in a graphite furnace. Results There were 102 people, 68 in the healthy group (NDA-g) and 34 in the group with disease (AD-g). The AD-g group had lower plasma zinc concentrations and higher frequency in the first quartile for intraerythrocyte zinc concentrations. Plasma and erythrocyte concentrations did not correlate with the time of diagnosis and age in both groups. In the logistic regression analysis, plasma concentration was associated with AD-g (OR=0.964; p=0.028). Conclusion Older people with Alzheimer's disease have lower plasma and erythrocyte zinc concentrations.

Published: December 2023

Abstract This study contributes to the flora of ferns and lycophytes, also referred to as pteridophytes, from the Estação Ecológica Serra Geral do Tocantins (EESGT), which is part of the Jalapão region in Tocantins. Although Jalapão is one of the largest protected areas in the Cerrado vegetation of Northern Brazil, its biodiversity has, thus far, been poorly reported in the literature. Therefore, fieldwork was recently carried out at EESGT in different habitats. Our collections and data from digital repositories included 31 ferns and four lycophyte species belonging to 20 genera of 15 families. Despite occupying only a small fraction of the landscape, forests concentrate most pteridophyte diversity, reinforcing their importance for the conservation of this group within the Cerrado. Eleven species are new records for Tocantins, one is new for Bahia, and one was recently described (Anemia areniticola). In addition to a list of all taxa, we provide illustrations and an identification key to encourage further studies on this often-neglected component of Cerrado flora.
Understory epiphytic pteridophytes along altitudinal gradients on opposite slopes in the Atlantic Forest
Authors: Costa Thiago Vieira , Nunes-Freitas André Felippe , Sylvestre Lana da Silva
Published: December 2023

Abstract Gradual climatic changes caused by mountains’ altitudinal variation promote alterations in the structure of ecological communities. Environmental changes are also expected according to the slope’s position in relation to the sea. In this study, we aimed to compare epiphytic pteridophyte communities along altitudinal gradients on opposite slopes in a section of the Atlantic Forest. We sampled a total of 10 sites in the montane and upper montane zones from the eastern (facing the sea) and western (facing away from the sea) slopes. A total of 1,742 individuals from 62 epiphytic species were recorded. The slopes showed similar epiphytic abundances and richness. Species richness showed a tendency to decrease with an increase in altitude on the western slope, and abundance was higher at intermediate altitudes, with no altitudinal trend in dominance. Conversely, on the eastern slope, there was no clear altitudinal pattern in richness or abundance; however, dominance increased with an increase in altitude from 1,200 to 1,800 m. Species compositions differed among altitudinal zones and between slopes. The eastern slope had lower species richness and no clear altitudinal gradient, although it was better preserved than the western one. Thus, there are differences in the community structure of epiphytic pteridophytes from the forest understory due to altitudinal variation and slope orientation, and these findings corroborate our hypotheses.

Abstract Isoëtes is a cosmopolitan genus of aquatic lycophytes, containing more than 200 species. In Brazil, the genus comprises 29 species, with three occurring in Pará state, Amazon. Isoëtes cangae and I. serracarajensis are endemic to the ferruginous outcrops of Serra dos Carajás, and I. amazonica occurs on the inundated shores of the Tapajós River. Despite the great diversity of quillworts in South America, their anatomy remains unknown. This study discusses Brazilian Amazon species’ leaf and root anatomical traits in relation to habitat and genetic diversity. The amphibious I. amazonica and I. serracarajensis were observed to have similar stomata and cuticular ornamentations. Isoëtes cangae, a fully aquatic species, had smaller epidermal cells and a smooth cuticle and showed slight differences regarding the lacuna diaphragm. The genetically closer species from Carajás both lacked peripheral fiber strands on the leaves. Our study complements current knowledge regarding the morphoanatomy of Amazonian species and provides a better understanding of their biology, contributing to the development of conservation strategies for these species.
Housing, work, and migration: a squatted building under threat of eviction
Authors: Santos Eduardo Abramowicz
Published: December 2023

Abstract The objective of this article is to demonstrate, using a squatted building located in the Brás neighborhood and organized by Brazilian and Latin American migrants, the way in which commuting, housing, and work are associated and interwoven. The article shows the constitution and organization of the squatted building, displays the protection network that was formed around the urban space, and explains the way in which a lawsuit that requires the eviction of families addresses the issue of work in the squatted building. Based on the dynamics of this urban space, we demonstrate that the form of work constituted in the squatted building fosters another market: the informal housing market.
Espaços de “lazer” em ambientes de trabalho na “Sociedade de desempenho”
Authors: Jubert Simone , Leitão Lúcia
Published: December 2023

Resumo Este artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a crescente inserção de espaços de lazer em ambientes de trabalho. Parte-se da hipótese de que esses espaços constituem uma forma de apropriação, por parte do empregador, do tempo de não trabalho de seus empregados. As referências conceituais vêm, principalmente, das noções de “Sociedade disciplinar” (Foucault), com a ideia de corpos dóceis conformados pela vigilância, e de “Sociedade de desempenho” (Han), mostrando como a vivência nesses espaços de exploração do tempo livre dos empregados pode ser facilmente confundida com uma experiência de liberdade. Conclui-se assinalando a participação ativa do trabalhador na sua própria exploração e apontando a necessidade de discutir as implicações psicossociais advindas dessa prática em franca expansão no capitalismo contemporâneo.
Another face of interaction: communication collectives from peripheries and the State
Authors: Fonseca Mariana , Almeida Debora Rezende de
Published: December 2023

Abstract This article sheds light on forms of collective action in urban peripheries that are rarely addressed in studies on participation in Brazil: the communication collectives. It proposes a history – and process based interpretation to understand who these actors are and why they criticize the interaction with the State. The research is based on content analysis and on an exhaustive thematic characterization of 14,315 posts on Twitter and Facebook pages of 8 collectives from four Brazilian regions, during the Covid-19 pandemic, collected from the social media platforms' APIs. The findings reveal the actors' perception that peripheries have long operated on the basis of "we for us" and disclose the differential and sometimes violent face of the State's interaction with peripheries.
State violence in the production of territories, informality, and protection networks
Authors: Santos Renato Abramowicz
Published: December 2023

Abstract Based on violence originated by the State, this article describes and analyzes evictions to put the production of urban space and conflict into perspective. The text’s empirical basis is an ethnographic study carried out in the central area of São Paulo, where the State’s strength is revealed through evictions, displacements, destruction of territories and long-established social fabrics, and production of informality and informal markets; it also approaches the articulation of networks and protection arrangements (including housing) as responses to this violence. Another objective is to observe, in these disputes, a tactical and situational mobilization and instrumentalization of institutional webs, analyzing the process of creation of repertoires and practices in this movement marked by conflict.
Chaos and the new temporality of the contemporary world-system
Authors: Martins Carlos Eduardo
Published: December 2023

Abstract This paper presents five major theses for understanding the new world conjuncture in which capitalism and humanity entered in 2015-2020. This period is characterized by the crisis of the capitalist civilization and mode of production; the terminal crisis and dismantling of the United States’ hegemony; the geopolitical bifurcation of the world’s economy into an imperialist bloc led by the United States and an emerging bloc centered on China and Russia that has been expanding towards the Global South; the ideological crisis of global liberalism and the rise of fascism and socialism as alternatives; and the crisis of the neoliberal accumulation pattern and the end of Kondratieff’s expansion phase that started in 1994. We briefly indicate the effects of these trends on Latin America.
The “Chinese path”: uneven development, projectment, and socialism
Authors: Jabbour Elias , Nova Vítor Boa , Vadell Javier
Published: December 2023

Abstract Numerous indicators have demonstrated the robustness and resilience of the Chinese development process over the past decades. However, it is not uncommon to perceive, in current analyses, the Chinese process as just another case of successful catching-up, a latecomer of Asian matrix like Japan and South Korea. In fact, Chinese development is not trivial given its history and starting point: in 1949 China was the country with the lowest per capita income in the world and today it is competing with the United States for the technological frontier. In this article, we propose the categories "uneven development", "projectment", and "socialism" as fundamental supports in a background analysis of the real explanatory reasons for the Chinese success.
Evolving from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0: Evaluating the conceptual structure and prospects of an emerging field
Authors: Gamboa-Rosales Nadia Karina , López-Robles José Ricardo
Published: December 2023

Abstract The world is experiencing unprecedented transformation brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, and the pandemic caused by COVID-19. Industry 4.0 seeks to transcend from the physical production processes to the digital environment, strengthening the link between the production agents. However, the pandemic evidenced the need to transform the industry and how it fosters global development. The Fifth Industrial Revolution or Industry 5.0 arises at this point and it sets a new paradigm of development and seeks to foster an industrial activity transcending the technical or economic goals, such as productivity and efficiency. Industry 5.0 fosters essential purposes for the future, which its predecessor did not state clearly. Nevertheless, as it is a new concept based on another relatively new, it is complicated to identify the components distinguishing it and boosting its development, as well as the most relevant agents in its consolidation. In this sense, by using bibliometric techniques and tools, this piece of research analyzes the conceptual structure of Industry 5.0, pursuant to its productivity, impact and contents according to the literature available in Scopus. To this end, we have retrieved and analyzed 343 publications from 2018 to 2022, using SciMAT, which has allowed us to establish a detailed frame of reference about the main lines of research, development and innovation related to Industry 5.0 and the agents vitalizing it.
A química, os metais e perspectivas de agência
Authors: Machado Igor José de Renó , Nikolaou Sofia
Published: December 2023

Como podemos interpretar a agência de metais, a seguir, por exemplo, os laboratórios dos químicos? Substancias como moléculas, de um ponto de vista recorrente nesses laboratórios, têm “comportamentos”. Esses comportamentos são vistos como agências, embora sem qualquer apreensão de consciência ou “animação”. Assim, nesses contextos de pesquisa científica, substâncias inanimadas podem ter agência por terem comportamentos que podem até ser antropomorfizados. Encarar a relação entre vivos e não vivos do ponto dos químicos embaralha nossos modos de ver os processos. Nessa perspectiva, o metal não está em contraposição ao vivente, mas, como ele, tem comportamentos. E adentrando a escala molecular e a perspectiva reflexiva dos químicos, a questão de uma oposição entre entes vivos e não vivos pode não fazer tanto sentido. Nessa perspectiva, o comportamento de certos metais é parte essencial da produção da vida, marcando a relação entre metal e viventes como muito relativa aos níveis e escala da análise. Ou seja, dada uma certa escala, não há diferença qualquer e o que acontece num organismo vivo é parte integral de certos comportamentos do metal. A partir de uma pesquisa antropológica ex post facto (Machado 2019) apresentamos alguns exemplos retirados da experiência nos laboratórios e no aprendizado de química para discutir as questões acima.

Authors: ŞAHİN Serkan , TÜRKSOY Vugar Ali
Published: December 2023

Amaç

Gıda takviyeleri, sağlık desteği sağlaması ve beslenme eksiklerini tamamlaması amacıyla son dönemlerde yaygın olarak kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Toksik metal maruziyeti ise gıda takviyelerini kullananlarda oldukça ciddi sağlık problemlerine neden olabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada çocuklarda immün sistemi kuvvetlendirmek için kullanılan gıda takviyelerindeki toksik metal düzeyini belirlemek amaçlandı.

Gereç ve Yöntem

Eczane, market ve internet vb. üzerinden satışa sunulan çocuklarda immün sistemi kuvvetlendirmek için kullanılan 30 adet gıda takviyesi örneği toplandı. Toplanan bu gıda takviyelerinde ICP-MS analizi yapıldı. Örneklerdeki arsenik (As), bakır (Cu), çinko (Zn), mangan (Mn), selenyum (Se), krom (Cr), civa (Hg), kurşun (Pb), kadmiyum (Cd), kalay (Sn), kobalt (Co), alüminyum (Al), molibden (Mo), antimon (Sb), nikel (Ni) düzeyleri tespit edildi.

Bulgular

Çalışmamızda immün sistemi desteklemek amacıyla piyasada ticari olarak satılan gıda takviyelerindeki toksik metal düzeyleri değerlendirildi. Numunelerdeki Cr, Co, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Mo ve Hg’nin ortalama düzeyleri uluslararası kuruluşlar tarafından belirlenen limitlerin üstünde tespit edildi. Bununla birlikte Cd, Al, Mn, Ni ve Pb’nin ortalama düzeyleri ise bu limit düzeylerine çok yakındı. Buna karşın analiz edilen ürünlerdeki Sn ve Sb düzeyleri limitlerin çok altında bulundu. Analiz edilen tüm metallerin korelasyonları pozitifti.

Sonuç

Sonuçlarımız değerlendirildiğinde; gıda takviyelerinde bazı toksik metal düzeylerinin toksisite oluşturabilecek düzeyde olduğu tespit edildi. Üretici firmaların tüketicileri bilgilendirmek adına uluslararası denetim kuruluşlarının toksik metaller ve eser elementler için belirlemiş olduğu günlük alım limitleri ve kendi ürünlerindeki toksik metal ve eser element düzeylerini gösteren bir bilgininde etiketlerine eklemelerinin uygun olacağı değerlendirilmektedir. Gıda takviyelerinin hammadde temininde, üretiminde ve pazarlanmasında daha etkin bir yasal düzenleme ve denetimin gerekliliği ortaya çıkmaktadır.

Published: December 2023

In this work, high-temperature annealing in an oxidizing atmosphere at temperatures of 800, 900, 950 and 1000 oC for 10 hours of cermet materials based on titanium carbide and nichrome was carried out, using the SHS-extrusion method. On the basis of experimental data, dependences of weight gain on temperature and annealing time were plotted. On the basis of X-ray phase analysis and the results of scanning electron microscopy, it was found that the carbide phases do not change stoichiometry, a new CrNi3 phase is detected, and oxide films (TiO2 and Cr2O) are formed on the surface of the body. It has been established that with an increase in the annealing temperature, TiC carbide grains grow from 2,79 to 3,4 µm.

Legal Means of Legitimation of the Head of State's Title in Russia (X-XIX centuries)
Authors: Minnikes Irina
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of legal means of legitimizing the title of monarch in the Russian history during the X-XIX century. The titles of rulers that were constantly officially used in the practice of the Russian state are investigated: prince, grand prince, sovereign (tzar), and emperor. The work is based on documentary sources, such as chronicles, charters, testaments, and treaties, both international and interterritories, as well as legal acts. It is established that the oldest title of «prince» in the era of the early and appanage state was formalized by legal treaties and a princely testament. The title of «Grand Prince» during the reign of the Golden Horde also depended on a special document – a label for the great reign. The title of «sovereign» («tzar») was initially legitimized by legal treaties and church-and-secular acts. But it was the title that was first announced with the help of a targeted normative legal act. In the future, the normative legal act will become the main legal ways of legitimization of the Russian monarch title. As a result of the study, several laws were revealed in the development of legal forms of the title of monarch legitimization. Firstly, their evolution begins in the era of the formation of the state with a complex of various legal means (legal treaties, testaments, etc.) with historically established non-legal instruments (customs, traditions) and ends in the XIX century by a normative legal act. Secondly, the most diverse sources of law were used at an early stage of the development of the state in relation to the princely (grand-princely) titulature: they included legal treaties, testaments, labels for reign and partially sources similar to normative legal acts. Thirdly, the legal regulation of the titulature evolves from single cases to the constant and unchanging practice of issuing a legal act on the accession to the throne of each new ruler.
Proposing and Verifying Different Lines of Inquiry in the Investigation of Deliberate Destruction or Damage of Property
Authors: Andreev Aleksander , Delov Nikita
Published: December 2023

The authors summarize their research and present a system of general and special lines of inquiry put forward at the initial and subsequent stages of investigating deliberate destruction or damage of property, as well as typical portraits of the alleged offender as the basis for proposing these lines of inquiry. The investigation of the crime under Art. 167 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is closely connected with the process of proposing and verifying general and special lines of inquiry. These general and special lines of inquiry into the deliberate destruction or damage of property are proposed on the basis of theoretical knowledge and factual data. Research of criminal cases allowed the authors to typify the personalities of alleged offenders in the crimes under consideration. The portrait of the typical offender acts as a theoretical basis for proposing theories regarding the personality of the alleged criminal (avenger, jealous person, envious person, repeat offender, arsonist, hooligan, bomber, member of a criminal gang, hypeman).

Published: December 2023

Retirement, the end of active work and availability of a large amount of free time, for many elderly people are factors leading to significant changes in life. The aim of the work is to study the problem of loneliness of elderly people. The questionnaire survey method and in-depth interview method were used to achieve the above-mentioned goal and to solve the set tasks. Social care and social rehabilitation systems are of great importance in solving the problem of loneliness of pensioners, with an important role in this process being played by highly qualified professionals who have the task of improving social care, allowing elderly people to maintain their independence and relative self-sufficiency. An individualized approach to personality is relevant at any age stage of the person, but it becomes a priority at an older age. The findings can be used to form a set of actions, technological approaches aimed at eliminating the feeling of loneliness in the elderly and its consequences. These results can be used in the organization of social work with the elderly in social service institutions. Competently organized social work with the elderly should contribute to changing the situation and not the personality of the elderly person.

The requirement to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions generated as a result of economic activity is one of the key factors that will have a significant impact both on the external economic situation in the long term and on the development of companies in the energy sector, primarily in the oil and gas sector. We found that in Russian oil and gas companies, the development of mechanisms that contribute to the decarbonization of production is at an early stage of their development and not a single vertically integrated oil and gas company has reevaluated carbon units throughout the entire life cycle, especially with the inclusion of the stage of creating primary infrastructure. The purpose of the study is to propose a methodology for accounting for the carbon footprint at the stage of construction of infrastructure facilities by oil and gas companies. We examined the possibility to reduce carbon footprint by using carbon dioxide accounting methods when choosing a method for utilizing logging residues generated during the construction of a section of the Gazprom PJSC gas pipeline in a wooded area. The study showed the need to develop methods for accounting for carbon units along the entire production chain (from design to consumption) to introduce methods for regulating carbon dioxide emissions. We concluded that the management of oil and gas companies needs to start transition from the principle of cost savings to the principle of decarbonization as soon as possible.
Institutional Problems of the Project Financing from the Standpoint of the Activity Approach
Authors: Berezkin Yury
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the problems of a special type of project financing based on the principle of co-investing not money, but tangible assets of different owners, which is called Shared Investing. The effectiveness of this type of investment was first demonstrated in 1937 by R. Coase: if the resources necessary for the implementation of projects are not bought on the market, the transaction costs are sharply reduced due to the work of institutional intermediaries — credit, insurance, tax, control, etc. There are many of them, and their services are not cheap. If they are eliminated, the growth rate of value added can increase significantly. China has demonstrated this to the whole world. Since 2008, the possibility of technological development of project financing has been established: on the basis of blockchain technology, they began to create value (financial) «machines» that visualize the processes of increasing the added value of participants’ resources and automatically carry out mutual settlements by the method of multilateral clearing using intra-project virtual tokens. S.B. Chernyshev’s attempts to introduce such technologies in Russia faced serious problems. The article demonstrates that the reasons for these difficulties is underestimation of a number of methodological principles developed within the framework of the activity methodological approach in Moscow Methodological Circle under the leadership of G.P. Shchedrovitsky. We employed methodological developments of V.Ya. Dubrovsky (a student of G.P. Shchedrovitsky) in the field of methodology of the activities of public institutions. The study puts forward ways to overcome the above problems.

Aim of study: In this research, the surface of Fagus orientalis (beechwood) was chosen as a substrate due to its widely used strong biostructure in the wood industry. It was functionalized with ZnO, TiO2, and FAS-17 nanoparticles to enhance its service life.

Material and methods: FAS-17 (Trimethoxysilane) and ammonium hexafluorotitanate were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, and zinc borate from Etimine S.A. Methanol, ethyl alcohol, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, and zinc oxide were provided by TEKKIM. Characterization methods included FTIR, TG/DTA, XRD, SEM, and EDX. Hydrophobicity was determined by water contact angle using KSV Cam101. UV-Vis analysis used a Shimadzu UV-160 spectrophotometer, surface roughness was measured with a Marsurf M 300 device (ISO 4287), and color analysis was performed with a Datacolor Elrepho 450 X spectrometer (ASTM 2021).

Main results: The thermal stability of wood was significantly improved through the hydrothermal deposition of ZnO/TiO2 nanoparticles. Additionally, hydrophobization was achieved using Triethoxy-1H,1H,1H,2H,2H,2H-perfluorodecylsilane (C14H19F13O3Si), referred to as FAS-17.

Research highlights: The study demonstrated that the introduction of ZnO/TiO2 nanoparticles improved the thermal stability of wood. Furthermore, the use of FAS-17 resulted in effective hydrophobization. The thermal stability of wood was improved with ZnO/TiO2 nanoparticles. In addition, hydrophobization was supplied by FAS-17.

DYEING OF SILK IN EDIRNE RED COLOR WITH MADDER
Authors: YÜCE İsmail , BECENEN Nilgun
Published: December 2023

Silk is a natural filament obtained from the Bombyx mori species of silkworm, with a fiber length of up to 3000 meters. During the Ottoman era in Edirne, sericulture and silk trade were important activities. To this end, silk factories, trade centers, and silk weaving schools were established, creating an important source of income for the people of Edirne.
Edirne Red is a natural dye obtained from the Rubia Tinctorum L. plant and is part of the Ottoman Empire's heritage. This dye is resistant to sunlight and washing. It has been used in Turkish carpets, as well as in silk and cotton fabrics.
The aim of this study is to bring together the importance of Edirne Red and silk in Edirne's history. For this purpose, 100% silk fabrics were dyed using madder (Rubia Tinctorum L.) grown within the borders of Edirne province. The effects of dye ratios and auxiliary chemicals used on color and colorfastness were examined during the dyeing process. The color values of the fabrics were measured numerically in the CIEL*a*b* color space, and the washing and light fastness values of the dyed fabrics were also measured. Additionally, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses were performed on both the used madder and the dyed fabric.
Based on the obtained data, the closest Edirne Red color was achieved by pre-mordanting fabric before dyeing and using ethanol as the dye solvent. Madder dye, successfully applied to silk fabrics under different conditions, has shown good results in terms of color yield and fastness properties.
