Authors: Vieira Victor Carneiro Corrêa
Published: July 2024

Resumo Registrados nas constituições do Partido Comunista da China e da República Popular da China, os pensamentos dos líderes centrais são referência para discursos de figuras políticas e estudados em todo o país. Imbuídos de um intuito modernizador, o conceito de desenvolvimento é revisitado por cada secretário-geral e constitui a base do arcabouço ideológico do partido, suscitando a pergunta do artigo: De que forma o conceito de desenvolvimento é explorado na construção de um discurso ideológico que fundamenta os pensamentos dos líderes chineses? Partindo da análise de discursos e documentos, o artigo examina o "pensamento de Mao Zedong”, a "teoria de Deng Xiaoping”, as “Três Representações” de Jiang Zemin, a “Perspectiva Científica sobre o Desenvolvimento” de Hu Jintao, e o “Socialismo com Características Chinesas para uma Nova Era” de Xi Jinping, buscando compreender como o conceito de desenvolvimento é adaptado, dependendo da conjuntura política, econômica e social da China.

Abstract Sarcoptic mange or scabies is a contagious parasitic skin disease that affects a wide range of domestic and wildlife species. A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence, molecular identification, and characteristics of sarcoptic mange in vicuñas. A total of 3,274 vicuñas were examined. Following ritual harvesting events (“chaccus”) in 13 Andean communities. The presence of mange mites was determined by the skin scraping technique and confirmed by PCR analysis using specific primers for the ITS2 gene of Sarcoptes scabiei. The presence of mange mites was also confirmed by microscopy using samples taken from wallows. A data collection form was used to register the characteristics of the vicuñas sampled. The prevalence of sarcoptic mange was 4.9% (95% CI: 4.1 - 5.6%). All samples from wallows tested positive (9/9). Importantly, the presence of the species S. scabiei was molecularly confirmed. Adult females with regular body condition were more susceptible to sarcoptic mange, although the lesions were mild. This study confirms the presence of S. scabiei in semi-captive vicuñas and points to the possible role of wallows in the dissemination of Sarcoptes mites.

Abstract Neospora caninum is a major cause of reproductive loss in cattle worldwide as it leads to abortion and animal repositioning. Although Toxoplasma gondii does not cause a reproductive problem in cattle, consuming raw or uncooked beef poses the risk of transmission. This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of anti-N. caninum and anti-T. gondii antibodies in dairy cattle in the West and Northwest regions of São Paulo State, Brazil. A total of 653 serum samples from dairy cows were analyzed using an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). Epidemiological data from the farms were associated with the serological results of the animals by logistic regression based on the presence of antibodies. The frequencies of the antibodies against N. caninum and T. gondii were 41.6% (272/653) and 11.5% (75/653), respectively. A statistically significant association was observed between: the serum anti-N. caninum antibodies and breed, history of food supplementation for calves, introduction of outside animals that later presented reproductive problems, and history of reproductive problems by the trimester of gestation. The present study highlights the importance of neosporosis in dairy cattle in the study regions and that the inclusion of this parasite in the investigation of animals with reproductive disorders is important.

Type II diabetes is a complex health condition requiring patients to closely and continuously collaborate with healthcare professionals and other caretakers on lifestyle changes. While intelligent products have tremendous potential to support such Diabetes Lifestyle Management (DLM), existing products are typically conceived from a technology-centered perspective that insufficiently acknowledges the degree to which collaboration and inclusion of stakeholders is required. In this article, we argue that the emergent design philosophy of Hybrid Intelligence (HI) forms a suitable alternative lens for research and development. In particular, we (1) highlight a series of pragmatic challenges for effective AI-based DLM support based on results from an expert focus group, and (2) argue for HI’s potential to address these by outlining relevant research trajectories.
Flashes in the Pan: Short Lived Trends, Television Star Specials, and the Transmedia Contexts of Elvis Presley’s 1968 “Comeback”
Authors: McKenna Anthony Thomas
Published: July 2024

Using Elvis Presley as a case study, this essay examines the maintenance of transmedia star presence in 1960s America. In December 1968, NBC broadcast the Elvis special, a programme widely understood to be Elvis’s return from obscurity, so much so that it is now better known as the Comeback Special. This essay argues that Elvis’s supposed cultural absence during the 1960s has been overstated, and that he maintained a strong media presence throughout the decade by capitalising on a series of short-lived trends.
Once America’s appetite for rock and roll abated, Elvis found success as an actor in the pre-pill sex comedy; later, rock and roll’s mid-1960s rejuvenation renewed interest in Elvis as a rock and roll legacy artist. Subsequently, as Elvis’s films grew less successful in cinemas, Hollywood studios’ sale of screening rights to broadcast networks saw Elvis’s movies become immensely popular on television and, when that selling bubble burst, networks began investing heavily in star specials, another bubble that Elvis caught in its “exuberant” stage.
Moving beyond traditional understandings of star image construction, most notably creative agency and distinctiveness, this essay examines the roles industrial forces and cultural trends play in maintaining star presence in uncertain periods. It concludes that, far from being a comeback from nowhere, the 1968 Elvis special presented its audience with a format to which it was accustomed, featuring a personality who was familiar, whose fragmented star image had remained in the public imagination via a series of short-lived trends.

Published: July 2024

Research background. In the food industry, research interest in the functional effects of natural polysaccharides from plants has increased in recent years. Tragacanth gum is used in dairy products because of its stabilising, thickening, fat-replacing and prebiotic
properties. However, skimmed milk is considered a significant commercial loss in the production of buffalo clotted cream. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the potential of tragacanth gum in the production of yoghurt from buffalo milk residues with different concentrations of tragacanth gum (0.5, 1 and 1.5 g/L).
Experimental approach. Skimmed buffalo milk with different concentrations of tragacanth gum was pasteurised and, after cooling at 45 °C, a starter culture was added to each sample. All samples were fermented to a pH=4.80±0.2. The gross composition, acidity, water activity, water-holding capacity, whey separation, mass fractions of organic acids and volatile aroma compounds, counts of total aerobic mesophilic bacteria, yeasts and moulds, Lactococcus spp. and Lactobacillus spp. as well as sensory and textural properties were analysed during 15 days storage.
Results and conclusions. The results showed that the use of tragacanth gum increased
the dry matter mass fraction, water-holding capacity and mass fraction of proteins in the samples, while whey separation decreased as the concentration of gum increased. The addition of gum improved textural properties and hardness of the yoghurt. In terms of consistency, the sample with 1 g/L tragacanth gum was the most reliable. In the control group, the total aerobic mesophilic bacteria count was highest on the first and last day of storage. According to the results of the sensory evaluation, the sample with 0.5 g/L tragacanth gum was the most favourable.
Novelty and scientific contribution. Research has shown that the use of stabilisers in varying ratios improves the quality of yoghurt made from fat-free buffalo milk, which is a
by-product of industrial production. So instead of ending up as industrial waste, it is recycled and its value is increased.

Astragalus endopterus (Fabaceae), a species purported as extinct, found in northern Arizona, U.S.A.
Authors: Rink Glenn
Published: July 2024

Astragalus endopterus (Barneby) Barneby, listed as an extinct species in a recent Conservation Biology paper (Knapp et al. 2021) was found in abundance after three hours of targeted searching. Continued searches revealed thousands of plants. Our work has doubled the known range of the species. Astragalus endopterus seems to mostly occur on sheetwash deposits composed of particles derived mostly from windblown sands along with a component of clay probably derived from the Chinle Formation. We have no indications that the species may have been in decline or was ever on the verge of extinction.

Authors: Gabrielė Čypaitė , Diana Šimonienė , Emilė Rudminaitė
Published: July 2024

Abstract: There is a lack of studies analyzing Severe Insulin Resistance (SIR) forms, especially from clinical aspects. The main objective of this research was to assess the relationship between micro- and macrovascular complications and the death rate of patients with SIR. Methods: It was a partially prospective case-control study of 120 participants with T2DM. Patients with doses of insulin >1 IU/kg/day were considered to have SIR (case group), with an insulin requirement of <1 IU/kg/day - control group. Statistical analyses were performed. Results: Regarding microvascular complications, an association was found between insulin doses and the rate of Diabetic Nephropathy (DN) in the case group compared with the control group (138 vs. 170 IU/day), p = 0.002. Men with T2DM and SIR were more likely to present with myocardial infarction than women (39.3% vs. 13.3%); p = 0.036. Subjects of the case group with lower eGDR (2.44 vs. 1.35) (or higher insulin resistance) were more likely to suffer a stroke, p = 0.003. Case group males were more likely than females to undergo coronary artery bypass graft surgery (21.4% vs. 3.3%); p = 0.048. Higher mortality was observed in the case group of patients with lower eGDR (1.01 vs. 1.85); p = 0.031. Conclusion: As for microvascular outcomes, the rate of DP and DR was similar in both control and case groups. Only the rate of DN in the case group was associated with higher insulin doses. Macrovascular complications such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and bypass surgery were related to the male gender and SIR, as well as higher mortality according to eGDR.

Helen’s argumentative coherence and the didactic element of Gorgias’ rhetoric
Authors:   Universidade Federal do Paraná, Reus-Engler Maicon
Published: July 2024

I argue in this paper that Gorgias’ Helen has a didactic element that has been overlooked by contemporary critique. I show in section I that Gorgias’ presents a commonsensical pattern of argumentation (the Gods and physical violence) to prepare the reader to the following digressions on logos and on love. I analyze in section II the argument on logos and argue that its reasoning structure depends on the two previous arguments, i.e., that Gorgias transforms logos into a sort of violence. I argue in section III that the argument on love depends on the same transformation. In the end, I show that Helen is both a coherent and a didactic speech.

Vehicles are a major source of atmospheric pollutants and greenhouse gases. Real Driving Emissions (RDE) testing is used to study the real-world effects of parameters that are not considered in laboratory testing but that can influence fuel consumption and vehicle emissions. This paper analyzes the vehicle specific power (VSP) and the effects of positive and negative road slopes on the fuel consumption of a sport utility vehicle (SUV). The vehicle was tested on a route at an altitude of 2750 meters in Riobamba, Ecuador. The circuit design included urban, rural, and highway driving that met the requirements of European Union (EU) Regulation 2018/1832. Low-cost devices were used to record data from the road tests to determine fuel consumption as a function of road slope. VSP+ analysis revealed that there is a good correlation with fuel consumption, with an R2 of 0.86. For road slopes of -6% to +6%, the percentage variation in fuel consumption is linearly correlated (R2 = 0.85) with the slope variations.
US Critical Mineral Policies and Alliance Strategies in an Age of Geopolitical Rivalry
Authors: Ufimtseva Anastasia , Li Jing , Shapiro Daniel M.
Published: July 2024

We examine the geoeconomic strategies of the US regarding critical minerals through the lens of geopolitical rivalry with China. Chinese companies, mostly state-owned enterprises, play a prominent role in the extraction and processing of minerals critical to the energy transition. Drawing on the balance of power theory, we argue that the US, the incumbent hegemon, can employ both domestic policies and alliance-building strategies to counterbalance China’s dominance in critical mineral sectors. Empirically, we first assess the nature of US domestic policies with respect to promoting domestic critical mineral production and restricting foreign investment in the extractive sectors through investment screening measures, and then assess the degree to which the US has relied on Five Eyes alliance partners to achieve common strategic goals. We find evidence that the US uses a multifaceted geoeconomic approach involving domestic policies and alliance strategies to counterbalance China’s dominant position in critical mineral supply chains.
APPOINTMENT OF THE SOVIET UKRAINE’S REPRESENTATIVE OF THE USSR EMBASSY IN CANADA IN THE EARLY 1920S (BASED ON ARCHIVE DOCUMENTS)
Authors: Kupchyk Oleh ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: July 2024

Being involved in the implementation of Soviet foreign policy, Soviet Ukraine achieved international recognition in the early 1920s and established relations with neighboring countries and leading European states. Canada, where a large Ukrainian community had already lived, became a separate direction of foreign policy activity in Soviet Ukraine. Therefore, the aim of the article is to highlight the participation of the USSR in organizing the implementation of the Soviet policy towards Canada in the early 1920s through the prism of archival documents. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the fact that for the first time archival documents related to the appointment of Ukrainian SSR’s representative to the USSR’s Embassy in Canada, as well as the preparation of the «Regulations on the Counselor for Ukrainian Affairs of the USSR’s Embassy in Canada» have been introduced into the scientific circulation. The methodological basis of the research was the methods of historical and source research. The conclusions. In the article, through the prism of documents of the Central State Archive of Supreme Bodies of Power and Government of Ukraine and Central State Archives of Foreign Archival Ucrainica, the issue of the appointment of a representative of Soviet Ukraine SSR to the Embassy of the USSR in Canada in the early 1920s is highlighted. It is rightly stated that the Kremlin’s strategic goal was the creation of a «World socialist republic». Export to foreign countries of the Bolshevik revolution became the means of its implementation. Soviet Ukraine then played a major role in attempts to establish Soviet power in neighboring Poland and Romania. However, the million-strong Ukrainian community in Canada conditioned the involvement of Soviet Ukraine in the implementation of Soviet foreign policy on the territory of this country. Thanks to these documents, it became clear that the Ukrainian Council of People’s Commissars understood the importance of appointing a representative of Soviet Ukraine to the USSR’s Embassy in Canada. In the end, Ivan Kulyk was appointed.

BACKGROUND: An increase was noted in the number of gunshot eyeball injuries, which are accompanied by low functional outcomes. Reproduction and experimental study of this type of eye injury would help improving the functional and cosmetic treatment results in patients.
AIM: The aim of the study is to investigate gunshot open globe injury type B (penetrating wound without intraocular foreign body) on a standardized experimental model.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A complete investigation of the standardized model of gunshot open globe injury type B (penetrating wound without intraocular foreign body) simulated on the ballistic test facility was carried out. The experiment was accomplished at the ophthalmology chair on 36 rabbits (71 eyes). The injury was inflicted in the projection of the ciliary body — zone II (Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology). The examination in the control period included ophthalmologic (ophthalmoscopy, full field electroretinography, optical coherence tomography), biochemical (testing of vitreous fibronectin level), histological and radiological (magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound examination) methods. Statistical non-parametric methods of data analysis were used.
RESULTS: The analysis of gunshot open globe injury type B model demonstrated the rate and multiple foci of abnormalities practically of all eyeball structures.
CONCLUSIONS: For the first time ever, the characteristics of gunshot open globe injury type B model were studied using a new complex of methods, their high reproducibility (91.5–100%) was demonstrated. Based on recorded abnormalities in all ocular structures, including proliferative vitreoretinopathy, the multifocal character of damage in this type of injury is validated.
Clinical Case of a Foreign Body in the Soft Tissues surrounding the Knee Joint: to Help the Practitione
Authors: Kosyakov Aleksey V.
Published: July 2024

INTRODUCTION: The existence of foreign bodies in a human organism often creates difficulties in differential diagnosis and diagnosis verification.
A clinical case of a 45-year-old female patient is presented. On examination, the patient complained of pain in the knee joints, restricted range of active movements, more on the left. Pain syndrome in the joints has been present for several years intensifying on exertion; a week before the current consultation, the patient fell down from her height on the left knee and felt a sharp enhancement of pain in it. X-ray of the left knee joint showed a fragmented foreign body in the surrounding soft tissues. The patient denied a history of trauma with a foreign body getting into the wound; she cannot give the data and mechanism of appearance of a foreign body in the soft tissues.
CONCLUSION: The peculiarities of the given clinical case include the absence of data on the fact of entry of a foreign body, its prolonged presence in the soft tissues without significant clinical symptoms. A relative rarity of a foreign body in soft tissues, however, does not exclude it being a cause of pain syndrome, the primary care physicians should have diagnostic alertness. A thorough history taking and instrumental examinations are required to exclude, among other things, the presence of an X-ray negative foreign body. Not a single method of examination can be considered ideal for diagnosis of all types of foreign bodies.

Advanced analytical approaches are required to accurately forecast the energy sector's rising complexity and volume of time series data.  This research aims to forecast the energy demand utilizing sophisticated Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) configurations with Attention mechanisms (Att), Grid search, and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). In addition, the study also examines the influence of Min-Max and Z-Score normalization approaches in the preprocessing stage on the accuracy performances of the baselines and the proposed models. PSO and Grid Search techniques are used to select the best hyperparameters for LSTM models, while the attention mechanism selects the important input for the LSTM. The research compares the performance of baselines (LSTM, Grid-search-LSTM, and PSO-LSTM) and proposes models (Att-LSTM, Att-Grid-search-LSTM, and Att-PSO-LSTM) based on MAPE, RMSE, and R2 metrics into two scenarios normalization: Min-Max, and Z-Score. The results show that all models with Min-Max normalization have better MAPE, RMSE, and R2 than those with Z-Score. The best model performance is shown in Att-PSO-LSTM MAPE 3.1135, RMSE 0.0551, and R2 0.9233, followed by Att-Grid-search-LSTM, Att-LSTM, PSO-LSTM, Grid-search-LSTM, and LSTM. These findings emphasize the effectiveness of attention mechanisms in improving model predictions and the influence of normalization methods on model performance. This study's novel approach provides valuable insights into time series forecasting in energy demands.
