Engineering Solutions to the Problem of Hypersalinity in Florida Power & Light’s Turkey Point Cooling Canals
Authors: Echevarria Victor
Published: July 2021

The aim of this project is to investigate engineering methods to reduce salinity in the cooling canals at the Florida Power & Light (FP&L) Turkey Point Power Plant. In order to stop discharging hot water from the plant into the adjacent Biscayne Bay, a cooling canal system was made operational in 1972 that occupies an area 3.2 km wide by 8.0 km long extending south of the plant. The 5,900 acre canal system has been measured at twice the salinity of the adjacent Biscayne Bay at as high as 68 ppt [Appendix i]. Florida Power & Light added a canal along the western perimeter of the cooling canal system to intercept seepage. The interceptor ditch enables FP&L to pump seepage back into the canal system during the dry season thus reducing the groundwater flow of hypersaline water to the west.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) are monitoring a saltwater plume migrating west of FP&L property (FDEP/SFWMD Miami-Dade Saltwater Intrusion Presentation pg 3). Tidal influences have a profound effect on saltwater intrusion, so it is difficult to quantify the influence of the canals on this plume. To ensure that FP&L has no culpability in the contamination of ground water, the cooling canals should either operate at a lower level of salinity or be isolated to restrict flow to underground sources of water.

Isolation, however, is not an appealing option as the methods which have been conceptualized are highly invasive. Environmental concerns are abundant as the ecosystem within the cooling canals supports at least 17 protected species of birds and animals of South Florida. Over 25% of the world’s population of the American crocodile resides in the Turkey Point cooling canals. Very few organisms require a hypersaline condition to thrive; therefore, lowering the salt concentration of the canal system is not expected to have adverse effects upon the ecosystem. Careful attention must be paid to ensure wildlife survival during treatment and/or disposal system development and operation.
Fostering learners’ (meta)pragmatic awareness through film analysis
Authors: Usó-Juan Esther , Martínez-Flor Alicia
Published: July 2021

Film-based dialogues have been praised in the current work on pragmatics as a potentially useful source that can enhance learners’ (meta)pragmatic awareness of the pragmatic phenomena in actual communicative events. Following this view, this paper first outlines the concept of (meta)pragmatic awareness and explains, drawing on McConachy and Spencer-Oatey (2020), the different theoretical perspectives examining the role that awareness plays in developing learners’ pragmatic ability. Then, it surveys studies that have reported benefits of bringing audiovisual input through films into the classroom. Finally, the analysis of two film-dialogues is presented to illustrate how it may foster learners’ awareness of communication as a context-dependent act. Along the way, it also highlights selected research-based techniques that can engage learners in critical film analysis.
Insights into the subtitling of films from Arabic into Spanish
Authors: Candel-Mora Miguel Angel
Published: July 2021

Audiovisual translation studies (AVT) have experienced an exponential growth in the last twenty years, have consolidated proven analysis methodologies, and attracted the interest mainly of Western scholars. It is interesting to investigate whether these methodologies are also applicable to the study of subtitling of films from linguistically and culturally distant cultures such as Egyptian and Spanish. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to verify whether the translation norms proposed in the translation methods for dubbing and subtitling, traditionally based on language combinations with English, are applicable for the specific case of the Arabic-Spanish language combination, based on the analysis of the treatment of the cultural elements present in the audiovisual texts selected for this research. Among the findings, the distinctive features and colloquial character and spontaneity of the original versions are frequently lost.
Preface in memoriam of Raquel Segovia Martín: TRANSLATION STUDIES AND FILM STUDIES: NEW TRENDS
Authors: Value Language
Published: July 2021

This is the fourteenth issue of Language Value, the journal created by the Department of English Studies at Universitat Jaume I (UJI) over 12 years ago. Since its beginning, the journal has grown and progressed, and, at this moment, it is already indexed and recognised internationally. In this evolution, many persons have left their imprint, some of them from the department that devised this journal. One of these persons was Raquel Segovia Martín, who unfortunately left us one year ago. Raquel arrived at Universitat Jaume I from the University of Pittsburgh (USA), where she had obtained her PhD degree in Languages and Film Studies and taught Spanish language and culture courses. Since very young, she had been interested in the Spanish language: she had finished her bachelor’s degree in Hispanic Philology at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. However, she saw an opportunity to adapt her profile and to participate in the new project of Universitat Jaume I in 1994, once she had decided to come back to Spain. At this university, she could combine her knowledge of Spanish and English in translation courses and add to it her expertise in film and communication studies. She was a good teacher and a good colleague who left us much too soon. This volume is in memorial of Raquel Segovia Martín, and the articles included in it are all related to her profile: translation, cinema and communication.
Le fardeau disproportionné des problèmes affectant les personnes en situation de handicap et leurs familles pendant la pandémie de COVID-19
Authors: Borgia Luisa , Griffo Giampiero
Published: July 2021

La pandémie de Sars-Cov2 a touché de manière disproportionnée les personnes en situation de handicap, les affectant dans l’accès aux droits et dans les soutiens à leur participation. La reconnaissance de la jouissance des droits de l’homme par ces personnes, introduite par la Convention des Nations Unies relative aux droits des personnes handicapées n’est souvent pas encore appliquée en Italie. Invisibles aux systèmes d’urgence, malgré les recommandations de la communauté internationale, discriminées et stigmatisées par des associations comme la Société italienne d’anesthésie, d’analgésie, de réanimation et de soins intensifs (SIAART), qui, en présence de ressources limitées pour lutter contre le coronavirus ont proposé, par un triage médical, de ne pas aider les personnes âgées et les personnes ayant des handicaps sévères, fortement frappées par le verrouillage des services qui leur sont dédiés (école inclusive, activités de réadaptation, pénurie de services à domicile), ces personnes ont connu un grand nombre de décès dans les résidences qui auraient dû les protéger, mais ne l’ont pas fait. Pour éviter la récurrence de ces enjeux critiques, la transformation de l’État providence vers des objectifs d’inclusion, d’autonomisation et de pleine participation est proposée, fortement ancrée dans les communautés, à travers la personnalisation des interventions, l’adaptation et le renforcement des capacités, le maintien des personnes dans leur cadre de vie.
Le système de santé sous l’empire du management
Authors: Moyse Danielle
Published: July 2021

Le 12 mars 2020, le Président de la République française, annonçant, à la télévision, la nécessité du confinement face à la pandémie de COVID-19, affirmait que la « priorité absolue » était la protection des personnes vulnérables. Cette priorité devait malheureusement se mettre en oeuvre dans un contexte de pénurie des personnels soignants et du matériel de protection, engendré par des politiques néolibérales de restrictions des dépenses publiques. Très rapidement, les personnels soignants se sont donc vus dans l’obligation de sélectionner les malades dans l’accès aux soins intensifs. Malgré la réaffirmation, par le Comité Consultatif National d’Éthique, de la dignité absolue de la personne humaine, et de l’impossibilité de distinguer les patients en fonction de leur utilité sociale, les soignants ont, sur recommandation des Agences Régionales de Santé, pourtant dû établir des critères d’admission en réanimation. Les témoignages de personnels soignants et textes officiels montrent que, en cas de crise, la prise en charge de tous, sans distinction d’âge, ou d’état de santé antérieur, n’est guère compatible avec la conception managériale du système de soin.
La Convention européenne des droits de l’homme au 21e siècle : en quête d’équilibre
Authors: Giakoumopoulos Christos
Published: July 2021

Le système original mis en place par la Convention européenne des droits de l’homme repose sur un équilibre délicat. Dans un premier temps, cet équilibre s’était opéré par la mise en place d’un mécanisme ménageant les susceptibilités nationales face aux objectifs ambitieux affichés par le projet européen. Le succès du système a conduit à la réforme portée par le Protocole n° 11, renforçant le caractère juridictionnel de celui-ci. Cependant, ayant coïncidé avec la chute du mur de Berlin et l’élargissement du Conseil de l’Europe, le système a dû faire face à des nouveaux défis : le nombre de requérants potentiels a dépassé 800 millions et l’adhésion de nouveaux États avec des systèmes politiques et juridiques en transition et des systèmes judiciaires en chantier a fait exploser le contentieux devant la Cour. Le processus lancé à Interlaken, il y a dix ans, a consolidé les capacités du système, d’autant que la Cour a su en profiter, d’une part en mettant en place des mesures et procédures innovantes et efficaces et, d’autre part, en engageant un dialogue avec les juridictions nationales. À l’issue du processus d’Interlaken et de la mise en vigueur des Protocoles n° 14, n° 15 et n° 16, la question se pose de savoir si les outils que ces instruments ont créés, si essentiels pour l’efficacité du système aujourd’hui, seront suffisants pour ménager les tensions à l’avenir. Le chantier sur l’avenir du système devra se pencher sur les synergies entre la Cour, le Comité des Ministres et les États parties, visant à donner au système de la Convention toutes les dimensions d’engagement dont celui-ci a besoin : la dimension juridictionnelle, avant tout, mais aussi celle de dialogue, de consultation, de coopération et de prévention. Ceci nécessitera une mobilisation coordonnée de l’ensemble des institutions du Conseil de l’Europe.
La Convention européenne des droits de l’homme face à la contestation de ses valeurs fondamentales
Authors: Leuprecht Peter
Published: July 2021

Au cours de ses 70 ans d’existence, la Convention européenne des droits de l’homme (CEDH) a connu un élargissement et un développement spectaculaires. Aujourd’hui, tous les 47 États membres du Conseil de l’Europe sont Parties à la CEDH. Le Conseil de l’Europe, la CEDH et la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme sont fondés sur des valeurs et ont été conçus comme instruments de défense de ces valeurs : démocratie pluraliste, État de droit et droits de l’homme. Ils ont apporté une contribution essentielle à la consolidation et au développement de ces valeurs. Cependant, il ne faut pas fermer les yeux devant certaines faiblesses du système. Ces valeurs fondamentales et fondatrices sont aujourd’hui contestées par des mouvements et leaders nationalistes/populistes qui rejettent le pluralisme politique et culturel. L’État de droit est remis en question. Les normes et principes des droits de l’homme sont attaqués. Dans des pays européens comme dans d’autres parties du monde, on constate un glissement vers des régimes autoritaires, voire totalitaires. L’arbre planté il y a 70 ans, la CEDH, aura-t-il la force de résister à ces tendances ?
The Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights and the European Court of Human Rights: An ever-closer relationship
Authors: Mijatović Dunja , Weber Anne
Published: July 2021

The relationship between the Commissioner for Human Rights and the European Court of Human Rights has varied considerably over time, from a clear separation of functions to increasing interactions. Resolution (99)50 on the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, adopted on 7 May 1999, reflects a clear willingness to separate the two institutions. This separation, however, did not mean isolation from each other in practice and did not prevent cross-references between the Commissioner and the Court from increasing over the years. In the course of his/her country or thematic work, the Commissioner relies on international and European conventions, and in the first place the Convention and the case law of the Court, when making recommendations to member states. Conversely, the Court has from the outset made references to the work of the Commissioner in its judgments. While the different roles of the two institutions might explain the sometimes diverging approaches, cross-references between the Commissioner and the Court have undoubtedly enriched each other’s work. With the entry into force of Protocol nº14 to the Convention in 2010, the Commissioner’s functions have been formally extended, providing formal recognition to the institution of the Commissioner, which is expressly introduced in the text of the Convention and into the control mechanism established by the Convention. The Commissioner may now on his/her own initiative exercise the right to intervene as a third-party before the Court, by submitting written comments and taking part in hearings. This possibility represents an additional tool at the Commissioner’s disposal to help promote and protect human rights. The Commissioner’s role in the process of execution of the Court’s judgments has also increased over the years. With the amendment introduced in 2017 to the Rules of the Committee of Ministers for the supervision of the execution of judgments (Rule 9), which allows the Commissioner to submit written comments on the execution of judgments directly to the Committee of Ministers, the contribution by the Commissioner to the execution of judgments is expected to have a greater impact.
La Convention européenne des droits de l’homme a 70 ans. C’est l’heure d’une retraite honorable ou d’une nouvelle jeunesse?
Authors: Raimondi Guido
Published: July 2021

L’auteur essaie de montrer la nécessité que la Convention européenne des droits de l’homme, avec la Cour qu’elle a créée, après avoir accompagné la vie du continent européen de 1950 à nos jours, tout en jouant un rôle non négligeable dans son histoire et son développement, continue à le faire dans les années à venir. Après avoir passé en revue les étapes fondamentales de l’évolution de la jurisprudence de la Cour de Strasbourg et de son impact important sur les réformes réalisées dans les Etats contractants de la Convention, y compris au niveau constitutionnel, on met l’accent sur la vitalité du dialogue actuel entre le juge européen et le juge national dans l’accomplissement de leur mission commune pour la protection des droits fondamentaux de chacun ainsi que sur l’exigence de le préserver et de le développer ultérieurement. Finalement, à la lumière des évènements récents en Europe, qui ont conduit à une préoccupante augmentation des cas de violation de l’article 18 de la Convention, témoin de tensions dans le bon fonctionnement de la démocratie, qui présuppose la Convention, et qui la constitue en gardienne d’elle-même, on constate l’indispensabilité du système européen de protection des droits de l’homme en tant que rempart contre la tyrannie, police d’assurance de la démocratie. La conclusion est que la Convention européenne des droits de l’homme ne doit pas prendre sa retraite, et doit au contraire nous accompagner dans les années à venir.
Si la compétence l’emportait sur le territoire? Réflexions sur l’obsolescence de l’approche territoriale de la notion de juridiction
Authors: Touzé Sébastien
Published: July 2021

La notion de juridiction est complexe, indéfinie et variable. La jurisprudence de la Cour le confirme et a toujours maintenu un certain flou sur sa portée. Pourtant essentielle dans le cadre de l’examen par la Cour de sa compétence, la juridiction de l’État est appréhendée par principe comme territoriale avec quelques exceptions dont la prévisibilité laisse ouverte de nombreuses questions. Cet article propose de réfléchir sur le lien entretenu entre la notion et les compétences de l’État en droit international seul à même de pouvoir dépasser l’approche jurisprudentielle classique au profit d’une interprétation novatrice confirmant la portée extraterritoriale des obligations conventionnelles.
La Convention européenne et la Charte africaine : étude comparée
Authors: Ben Achour Rafaâ
Published: July 2021

La Charte africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples (1981) est la benjamine des instruments régionaux de protection des droits de l’homme. Inspirée par ses devancières européenne et américaine, la Charte africaine présente des similitudes, mais également des différences avec la Convention européenne de sauvegarde des droits de l’homme et des libertés fondamentales. Une étude comparative de ces deux instruments est élaborée dans cet article notamment au niveau des droits et libertés garantis et des mécanismes de garantie.
La Cour européenne des droits de l’homme et le dialogue des juges
Authors: Cocan Silviana
Published: July 2021

Le présent article a pour objet d’envisager l’interprétation de la Convention européenne à travers le prisme du dialogue des juges qui, en tant que phénomène spontané, est laissé à la libre appréciation de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme. Ainsi, si la jurisprudence de cette dernière est souvent citée comme une référence incontournable dans la pratique jurisprudentielle des autres organes internationaux de protection des droits de l’Homme, le degré d’ouverture de la Cour aux sources externes est variable. En effet, sa pratique du dialogue juridictionnel, à travers l’incorporation d’éléments extrasystémiques dans l’interprétation de la Convention européenne, demeure limitée et à géométrie variable, bien qu’elle tende à s’accentuer au fur et à mesure du développement de sa jurisprudence en conformité avec les autres instruments et décisions qui relèvent de l’ordre juridique international et de la protection des droits de la personne.
La normativité changeante des pratiques funéraires protestantes en France (1598−1685)
Authors: Legaré Hamel Alexis
Published: July 2021

Après les conflits religieux dévastateurs du XVIe siècle, l’édit de Nantes (1598) tente de mettre un terme aux confrontations. Un siècle plus tard cependant, le pasteur Élie Benoist constate une situation différente en détaillant dans L’histoire de l’édit de Nantes (1693–1695) les nombreuses difficultés éprouvées par les huguenots au cours du XVIIe siècle, notamment en ce qui concerne la question de leurs sépultures. Les divergences dans la conception de la mort des catholiques et des protestants causèrent en effet leur confrontation, habituellement au désavantage de la minorité huguenote. L’ensemble de la période fut donc marqué par les décisions défavorables aux huguenots, qui n’eurent d’autres choix que de s’adapter.
Les photographies d’Afro-Américains de Robert Mapplethorpe au regard du canon occidental—et inversement
Authors: Bieth Fanny
Published: July 2021

Cet article analyse le caractère ambigu et problématique des nus photographiques d’Afro-Américains réalisés par Robert Mapplethorpe (1946–1989). Un oeil toujours rivé sur l’idéal de beauté occidental incarné par la statuaire antique, Mapplethorpe applique les canons de l’art classique à des modèles historiquement en marge des représentations dominantes. Ce faisant, le photographe bouscule les conventions normatives de l’art et remet en question le système de domination occidental ayant érigé l’« homme blanc » en canon universel. Toutefois, la fascination érotique dont témoignent ces oeuvres croise les mythes d’une virilité supérieure et d’une sexualité exotique. De plus, la perfection esthétique lisse et ordonnée construite par Mapplethorpe tend elle-même vers un modèle de représentation normatif. Il s’agit d’interroger plus largement l’action effective de l’art sur l’imaginaire collectif et les représentations sociales culturellement construites.

With the rapid development of the information age, the demand for information storage capacity and miniaturization of memory units has been being increased. However, the commonly used silicon-based flash memory has nearly approached to its physical limit. The resistive switching random access memory (ReRAM) has become one of the promising candidates for the next-generation non-volatile memory due to its simple structure, fast operation speed, excellent flexibility, and long endurance. Recently, we witnessed that the lead halide perovskites, as hot star materials, have been widely used in optoelectronic fields owning to their advantages of low cost, excellent photoelectric properties, and solution process ability. Moreover, the lead halide perovskite has been successfully used as the active layer in ReRAM device because of its tunable bandgap, long charge carrier diffusion length, fast ion migration, and high charge carrier mobility. Whereas the toxicity of lead in halide perovskite is a very horrible problem in lead halide perovskite-based ReRAM devices. The lead-free halide perovskite is considered to be the most promising material for perovskite-based ReRAM devices because it does not contain lead element. Most recently, a large number of scientists from different groups have begun to study lead-free perovskite-based ReRAM devices. For example, tin, bismuth, antimony, and copper-based halide perovskite materials have been utilized in ReRAM devices and exhibited excellent resistance switching (RS) performances. Here in this paper, the recent development of lead-free perovskite and its RS performance are reviewed, including lead-free halide perovskite materials, RS performances, and RS mechanisms of lead-free perovskite-based ReRAM. Finally, the key problems and development prospects of lead-free perovskite-based ReRAM are also presented, which provides a fundamental step towards developing the RS performance based on lead-free halide perovskites.

Hydrogen plays a crucial role in realizing modern silicon devices. Molecular hydrogen may be found in processes of integrated circuit fabrication and packaging, such as wafer cleaning procedure, film depositions, high- and low-temperature anneal and die attachment by forming gas. It has been shown that hydrogen has strong effects on the total dose and dose rate response to bipolar devices. In order to study the relationship between hydrogen and radiation-induced products, we preform two experiments by using gate-lateral PNP transistors. In the first experiment, one set of devices is soaked in 100% hydrogen gas for 60 h and another set is not soaked, they are together irradiated at 5 rad(Si)/s to a total dose of 50 krad(Si). In the second experiment, devices are irradiated at 50 rad(Si)/s to 100 krad(Si), and then one group is annealed in 100% hydrogen gas and the other is annealed in the air for 40 h at the same temperature. The results show that the damage to devices which are soaked in hydrogen before irradiation is stronger than the devices that are not soaked, the anneal characteristics of devices in hydrogen gas are also changed more greatly than in the air. So the hydrogen can enhance the radiation and anneal damage to bipolar transistors. Using the gate-sweep technique, the radiation-induced products are separated and show that the hydrogen that enters into the transistor will cause the interface traps to increase and oxide trapped charge to decrease. The main reason is that the hydrogen can react with the oxide trapped charge to produce protons which can transport to the Si/SiO2 interface, and then react with H-passivized bond to create interface trap. Based on the reaction mechanism presented in our work, a numerical model of enhanced low dose rate sensitivity including molecular hydrogen reaction and proton generation mechanism is established. The simulation results for the density of interface traps and oxide trapped charge show a trend consistent with the experimental data, which verifies the correctness of the damage mechanism. This research provides not only the basis of the study of damage mechanism of bipolar devices, but also the powerful support for hydrogen soaking irradiation acceleration method.

Published: July 2021

Few studies on mRNA expression of the prolactin receptor (PRLR) isoforms in different tissues of sheep were reported. The objective of this study was to analyze the gene sequence and mRNA expression of PRLR isoforms in the uterus, mammary gland, ovary, spleen and lymph tissue of ewes during the lactation and post-weaning periods. Ten lactating crossbred ewes (Dorper×Hu sheep) with twin lambs were used in this study. Five ewes were chosen randomly and slaughtered at mid-lactation (35 days after lambing). The remaining five ewes were slaughtered on the 5th day after weaning. Samples of uterus, mammary gland, ovary, spleen and lymph tissue were collected from each ewe to determine the mRNA expression of long PRLR (L-PRLR) and short PRLR (S-PRLR) by RT-qPCR. The physical and chemical properties, the similarity of the nucleotides L-PRLR and S-PRLR genes and the secondary and tertiary structure of the L-PRLR and S-PRLR proteins of sheep were analyzed. The results indicated that the predicted protein molecular weights of L-PRLR and S-PRLR are 65235.36 KD and 33847.48 KD, respectively, with isoelectric points of 5.12 and 8.34, respectively. The secondary protein structures of L-PRLR and S-PRLR are different. For L-PRLR these include alpha helix, extended strand and random coils and β-turns for which the content was 16.01%, 21%, 59.55% and 3.44%, respectively, whereas the secondary protein structures of S-PRLR contain only alpha helices, extended strand and random coils, comprising 18.24%, 30.07% and 48.99%, respectively. The L-PRLR and S-PRLR genes of the sheep (Ovis aries) had nucleotide sequences showing much similarity among ruminants. In these sheep, mRNA expression of L-PRLR and S-PRLR was highest in the uterus and differed between the uterus, ovary, mammary gland, spleen and lymph tissue. The mRNA expression of L-PRLR in lymph tissue was higher during lactation than in the post-weaning period (P < 0.01), whereas mRNA expression of S-PRLR in the uterus and the mammary gland was lower during lactation than during the post-weaning period (P < 0.01). In the uterus, mRNA expression of L-PRLR was higher than that of S-PRLR during lactation (P < 0.01) but there were no significant differences (P < 0.05) for the other five tissues. This study that the L-PRLR and S-PRLR proteins in ewes are mainly composed of extended fragments and random coils. The data also indicate that mRNA expression of L-PRLR and S-PRLR genes varies among different tissues in sheep and is higher in the uterus than in the ovary, spleen, mammary gland and lymph tissue throughout lactation and the post-weaning period.

Published: July 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o mapeamento dos atores (sujeitos e espaços formativos) responsáveis pela construção da história do jazz na cidade Brusque (SC) entre os anos 1980 à 2020. Como metodologia procurou-se ouvir por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas os 8 profissionais mapeados que trabalham com o jazz e diretores dos studios de dança da cidade. Estes relatarem suas vivencias e experiencias com a dança jazz e os espaços pelos quais passaram. Buscamos desenvolver um cruzamento de saberes vividos dos participantes, para permitir distintas reflexões e revelar novos conhecimentos. Para melhor compreensão dos dados coletados, foram criadas categorias de análises que são: espaços para realização da dança jazz, profissionais que trabalham com a dança jazz e metodologias utilizadas. Contar histórias de studios e professores de dança, como cada entrevistado ministra e organiza suas aulas, e como fazem sua formação continuada e como o jazz evoluiu na cidade foi um desafio, pois, percebemos que uma das histórias se interligam umas nas outras, formando 3 gerações de bailarinos e professores.
O PROFESSOR-ARTISTA NA DANÇA: CONCEPÇÕES E REFLEXÕES QUANTO SEUS ATRAVESSAMENTOS
Authors: Kremer Larissa Aparecida , Souza Marco Aurélio da Cruz
Published: July 2021

O presente artigo é concebido a partir de um trabalho de conclusão de curso, no qual ao olhar para a trajetória da pesquisadora, para a poética de sua dança que extrapola o gesto mecânico e se transforma em ação sensível, identifica-se o sentido e a importância do conceito professor/artista. Diante disso, busca-se a compreensão e reflexão das transversalidades deste binômio, buscando tecer relações investigativas com as experiências vividas enquanto artista, docente e discente em dança. Nesse sentido, foi vislumbrado que o processo de pesquisa deveria estar conectado com as memórias da pesquisadora e com as vozes de pessoas que foram fundamentais à sua formação. Para tanto, entrevistas semiestruturadas foram desenvolvidas com o intuito de ampliar a compreensão da temática em questão. Foram entrevistados individualmente mães de alunos de dança, direção da escola onde atua e professores de dança que perpassaram em sua trajetória. Os resultados da pesquisa foram apresentados em 5 categorias cruzando as vozes dos participantes do estudo com a literatura estudada. A escrita do trabalho aconteceu nas perspectivas da Pesquisa Baseada em Arte e da A/r/tografia, fazendo o uso do próprio trabalho artístico da investigadora para refletir sobre vivências e experiências, tecendo e construindo relações através do estudo sobre o professor-artista.

Published: July 2021

O presente artigo tem o objetivo de analisar a relação existente entre o crescimento econômico dos municípios de Goiás e suas exportações. A fim de verificar esta relação foi estimado um modelo empírico com dados em painel para os 246 municípios goianos no período 2007-2017. O modelo estimou o Produto Interno Bruto em função das exportações, do consumo de energia elétrica da classe industrial e da classe comercial, e do total de vínculos empregatícios ativos. Foi realizada uma análise dos dados dos municípios com melhores posições no ranking de crescimento econômico em Goiás para verificar se aquelas que possuem maior crescimento econômico são as que mais exportam. Os resultados do modelo demonstraram uma relação positiva e significativa entre o nível de crescimento municipal e o valor exportado no período de 2007-2017. A comparação entre o ranking dos municípios e os resultados do modelo mostra que os municípios com maior crescimento econômico estão entre os que mais exportam no estado de Goiás.

Evolution of Marine Bars under Micro and Mesotidal Settings of Mahanadi Delta Coast
Authors: Nag Kamal
Published: July 2021

Shoreward migration process of longshore bar is an important aspect of shoreline changes in the Mahanadi delta front. It involves coalescence of individual bars to form large complex bars just before welding on to the shoreline. Such welding sometimes results in the formation of large hook spits. Bar welding mechanism can be an extremely important form of natural beach nourishment. This study aims to detect stages of evolution of longshore bars and consequent welding with mainland. Multi-dated Landsat images have been used to detect evolution of longshore bar and welding processes. QGIS platform has been used to process images and compose required maps.
Blood Coagulation
Authors: Neuenschwander Pierre F , Jesty Jolyon
Published: July 2021

The blood coagulation system acts in concert with the platelets to seal damaged blood vessels by the formation of a clot that consists of aggregated platelets interwoven with fibrin. Coagulation is initiated by the subendothelial membrane protein tissue factor and proceeds through a highly regulated proteolytic cascade to the production of thrombin and the fibrin clot. Although stoppage of blood leakage is the primary purpose of the coagulation system, many of the direct products of coagulation have additional functions that involve communicating with surrounding cells and crosstalk with other biochemical systems (i.e. inflammation and immunity). These secondary roles of the coagulation system products are vital for regeneration of tissue normalcy and overall homeostasis. Dysregulation of any of these coagulant system functions can lead to various clinical pathologies.

Key Concepts

The initiator of coagulation, tissue factor, surrounds the vasculature in a protective haemostatic envelope.

The cascade design and feedback reactions in blood coagulation serve to rapidly amplify and dampen the response to create a burst of activity rather than a prolonged response.

Coagulation throw‐off products serve to signal the surrounding tissue to protect against pathogen invasion as well as initiate wound healing.

Platelets and platelet‐derived polyphosphate serve to propagate coagulation via the intrinsic pathway and help localise coagulation to the site of damage.

Dysregulation of the coagulation system upsets the delicate haemostatic balance and can result in numerous clinical pathologies.
Coevolution: Plant–Insect
Authors: Moscrop Jake , Glover Beverley J
Published: July 2021

Coevolution between plants and insects is a relatively frequent phenomenon, in part because of the enormous species diversity of both groups. It is usually diffuse, resulting in variability and radiation, and is presumed to result in unstable relationships. Coevolutionary relationships mainly occur between plants and herbivorous insects and between plants and pollinating insects. The mechanisms by which plants and insects interact and perceive each other are diverse but can be broadly split into two categories: chemical and physical. Insects use a combination of chemical and physical cues to detect and discriminate between plants, whereas plants manipulate both of these to either deter or attract insect visitors. These cues can be used either honestly (as warning of potential defences or to advertise offered rewards) or deceptively.

Key Concepts

Plants and insects have coexisted and interacted for more than 350 million years.

There is a huge diversity of plant–insect interactions; the equally vast diversity of plant and animal species is thought to be due in part to the selective pressures arising from these interactions.

Mechanisms by which plant–insect interactions occur include both physical and chemical.

Multiple physical and chemical mechanisms may be involved in an individual interaction.

Selection has therefore occurred on multiple aspects of both plants and insects, including their morphology, biochemistry, development, sensory systems and life cycles.

Plant–insect relationships are not stable; mutualisms can shift to the detriment of either of the partners.
Urea impregnated multiwalled carbon nanotubes; a formaldehyde scavenger for urea formaldehyde adhesives and medium density fiberboards bonded with them
Authors: Mazaheri Mehrdad , Moghimi Hamid , Taheri Ramezan Ali
Published: July 2021

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were subjected to modification by urea to use as formaldehyde scavenger in urea formaldehyde (UF) adhesive and reducing the free formaldehyde emission of the medium density fiberboards (MDFs). Morphological differences besides elemental analysis was investigated using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy. The effect of urea impregnated MWCNTs filler on the physical, morphological and thermal properties of the UF resin has investigated. Furthermore, characterization of the mechanical properties, free formaldehyde emission and thickness swelling were carried out for the MDF panels. From the results, the free formaldehyde of the UF resins was significantly decreased. The lowest free formaldehyde was belonged to the sample with 3 wt% of scavenger which was about 71% lower than the value for neat UF resin. Accordingly, the formaldehyde emission of the fiberboards was also showed a descending trend by incorporation of MWCNTs‐U to the composite structure. It was decreased from 9.67 to 3.89 mg/100 g dried board. These results indicated that the prepared nano modifier was successfully performed as a formaldehyde scavenger for the UF resin and could prevent the hazards of the free formaldehyde emission from MDF panels.
Homonuclear J‐Coupling Spectroscopy at Low Magnetic Fields using Spin‐Lock Induced Crossing**

Published: July 2021

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy usually requires high magnetic fields to create spectral resolution among different proton species. Although proton signals can also be detected at low fields the spectrum exhibits a single line if J‐coupling is stronger than chemical shift dispersion. In this work, we demonstrate that the spectra can nevertheless be acquired in this strong‐coupling regime using a novel pulse sequence called spin‐lock induced crossing (SLIC). This techniques probes energy level crossings induced by a weak spin‐locking pulse and produces a unique J‐coupling spectrum for most organic molecules. Unlike other forms of low‐field J‐coupling spectroscopy, our technique does not require the presence of heteronuclei and can be used for most compounds in their native state. We performed SLIC spectroscopy on a number of small molecules at 276 kHz and 20.8 MHZ and show that the simulated SLIC spectra agree well with measurements.

Authors: Alhajji Eman , Zhang Fan , Alshareef Husam N.
Published: July 2021

Synthesis of 3D graphene by laser irradiation has emerged as a promising approach due to its multifunctionality, cost effectiveness, and simplicity. Herein, the emerging applications of laser‐induced graphene (LIG) in batteries are focused on. This type of 3D graphitic carbon offers several advantages, including 1) binder‐free self‐supported electrode configuration, 2) high electrical and ionic conductivity, 3) hierarchical porosity, and 4) controllable composition upon laser exposure. A comprehensive review of the current status of LIG synthesis and its development for battery applications is discussed. This includes using LIG as an electrode for lithium‐ and sodium‐ion batteries, a current collector for lithium‐metal batteries, an electrocatalyst for metal–air batteries, and a host and interlayer for lithium–sulfur batteries. Finally, the article concludes by giving the authors’ perspectives and outlook for developing this class of carbon materials for advanced battery systems.

Published: July 2021

Zinc metal is an important anode material for next‐generation energy storage systems. Unfortunately, uncontrollable dendrite growth caused by nonuniform Zn nucleation during the plating process severely restricts their practical applications. Herein, a nitrogen‐doped 3D laser scribed graphene (NLSG) with a large surface area and uniform distribution of nucleation sites is used as the interlayer to control Zn nucleation behavior and suppress Zn dendrite growth. The N‐containing functional groups in the carbon matrix are highly zincophilic, which induces uniform nucleation of Zn and guides homogenous Zn deposition. Meanwhile, the large specific area can effectively decrease the local current density, which is more favorable for highly reversible Zn plating/stripping. Benefiting from superior properties, the NLSG demonstrates improved electrochemical performance with high Coulombic efficiency (99.4%) and enhanced cycling performance (200 h). Compared with the bare Zn anodes, the NLSG‐coated Zn//MnO2 battery demonstrates higher capacity retention (72.3% vs 59.3%) after 1200 cycles.

Published: July 2021

Despite growing demand for Li‐ion batteries in the portable, industrial, and electric vehicle markets, the performance and safety monitoring of these state‐of‐the‐art rechargeable cells is quite limited, relying on conventional full‐cell measurements with in situ reference electrode technologies lagging behind in application. Herein, for the first time a long‐term (>2000 h) stable Ti‐based reference electrode is reported, and a new design enabling impact‐free implementation into pouch. The methodology can also be used with other reference electrode materials. Various electrochemical characterization techniques are used to verify the usability and stability of the developed reference electrode, in turn enabling monitoring of individual electrode cycling performance and open circuit potential (OCP) via the galavanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) and differential capacity analysis. The ﬁndings offer a potential way of incorporating stable in situ reference electrodes into current and future generations of lithium‐ion batteries.
Neuroimmune interactions in painful TMD: Mechanisms and treatment implications
Authors: Yi Yating , Zhou Xueman , Xiong Xin , Wang Jun
Published: July 2021

The underlying mechanisms and treatment of painful temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are important but understudied topics in craniofacial research. As a group of musculoskeletal diseases, the onset of painful TMD is proved to be a result of disturbance of multiple systems. Recently, emerging evidence has revealed the involvement of neuroimmune interactions in painful TMD. Inflammatory factors play an important role in peripheral sensitization of temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and neurogenic inflammation in turn enhances TMJs dysfunction in TMD. Furthermore, centralized neuroimmune communications contribute to neuron excitability amplification, leading to pain sensitization, and is also responsible for chronic TMD pain and other CNS symptoms. Therapeutics targeting neuroimmune interactions may shed light on new approaches for treating TMD. In this review, we will discuss the role of neuroimmune interactions in the onset of painful TMD from the peripheral and centralized perspectives, and how understanding this mechanism could provide new treatment options. Insights into the neuroimmune interactions within TMJs and painful TMD would broaden the knowledge of mechanisms and treatments of this multifactorial disease.
