Effects of pharmacological delay with roxadustat on multi-territory perforator flap survival in rats
Authors: Tao Xianyao , Pan Xiaoyun , Rui Yongjun , Xue Mingyu
Published: July 2023

Roxadustat (FG-4592) is a specific hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor. We investigated the effects of FG-4592 pretreatment on survival and second choke vessels of multi-territory perforator flaps in rats. In total, 72 rats were divided into two groups (n = 36 each): the experimental (FG-4592) group and the control group. FG-4592 was administered orally as a single dose of 60 mg/kg every other day; the first drug solution was administered to the animals 7 days before the surgical procedure. On postoperative day 7, the surviving flap area was calculated. At 12 h post-surgery, in the second choke zone in the flaps, macrovascular hinges were compared by angiography and imaging, and microvascular changes were assessed by histology. Laser Doppler imaging was used to evaluate flap perfusion at the second choke zone at 12 h and 7 days after surgery. At 7 days after surgery, the flap survival area and perfusion were significantly greater in rats given FG-4592 compared with controls. At 12 h after surgery, the diameter of macrovascular and microvascular vessels, nitric oxide content, perfusion, and the protein levels of HIF-1α and inducible nitric oxide synthase were also significantly greater in FG-4592-treated rats than controls. In conclusion, pretreatment with roxadustat may improve initial flap survival and dilate the second choke zone vessels in a multi-territory perforator flap.
Noncontractible loop states from a partially flat band in a photonic borophene lattice
Authors: Menz Philip , Hanafi Haissam , Imbrock Jörg , Denz Cornelia
Published: July 2023

Flat band systems are commonly associated with compact localized states (CLSs) that arise from the macroscopic degeneracy of eigenstates at the flat band energy. However, in the case of singular flat bands, conventional localized flat band states are incomplete, leading to the existence of noncontractible loop states (NLSs) with nontrivial real-space topology. In this study, we experimentally and analytically demonstrate the existence of NLSs in a 2D photonic borophene lattice without a CLS counterpart, owing to a band that is flat only along high-symmetry lines and dispersive along others. Our findings challenge the conventional notion that NLSs are necessarily linked to robust boundary modes due to a bulk-boundary correspondence. Protected by the band flatness that originates from band touching, NLSs play a significant role in investigating the fundamental physics of flat band systems.
Room-temperature unidirectional routing of valley excitons of monolayer WSe2 via plasmonic near-field interference in symmetric nano-slits
Authors: Wen Xinglin , Zhou Yunxi , Chen Sijie , Yao Wendian , Li Dehui
Published: July 2023

Due to the short valley polarization time, it is hardly to separate opposite valley pseudospin of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) for their practical applications in valleytronics. Coupling TMDs to unidirectional surface plasmon polariton (SPP) can overcome this obstacle. However, it is required to break the symmetry to induce the asymmetric coupling between valley exciton dipole and SPP to route valley exciton in previously proposed strategies. Herein, by utilizing a new mechanism that near-field interference can create directional SPP in symmetric nanostructures, we realize directional routing of valley exciton emission of monolayer WSe2 at room temperature with a symmetric nano-slits array. The near-field interference enabled directional SPP in our device not only render the exciton diffusion length increase from 0.9 to 3.0 μm, but also lead to a valley exciton separation length of 0.7 μm with degree of valley polarization up to 22 %. This valley excitons separation is attributed to the non-flat WSe2 in the nano-slits region, which makes the exciton dipoles present in-plane and out-of-plane simultaneously. Our work provides a convenient and promising strategy towards room temperature on-chip integrated valleytronic devices.
Antimicrobially effective protein-loaded metal chelated chitosan composite
Authors: Akkaya Birnur , Akkaya Recep , Taşkın Kafa Ayşe Hümeyra
Published: July 2023

The immobilization of lysozyme onto a novel synthetic metal chelator composite based on chitosan/PAA-PMA (chitosan/acrylamide-maleic acid) and its effect on antimicrobial activity were the aim of the current study. The plain composite and the lysozyme immobilized composite were characterized according to scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Furthermore, the activities of lysozyme and immobilized lysozyme were investigated, as well as their antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, and Staphylococcus aureus, as well as their cytotoxic effects, which were both approximately greater than those of free lysozyme. The last step was cytotoxic studies on lysozyme, chitosan composite, and lysozyme-immobilized chitosan composite, which showed no cytotoxic effect. Several investigations have shown that metal chelators improve lysozyme’s antibacterial action. Two carboxylic acids containing maleic acid were used as a metal chelator in this study. Lysozyme was immobilized from a side other than carboxylic acids, so that carboxylic acid groups, which are metal chelating groups, do not prevent synergy by competing with metal binding at neutral pH. This enhanced antimicrobial activity.
Vom Alleinautor zum gemischten Doppel? Geschlecht, Status und Sichtbarkeit in der Publikationspraxis führender deutscher Soziologiezeitschriften
Authors: Trappe Heike , Milewski Nadja
Published: July 2023

Dieser Beitrag analysiert die Publikationspraxis der Zeitschrift für Soziologie und der Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie unter Berücksichtigung geschlechtstypischer Entwicklungen seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre. Hintergrund ist die Veränderung des sozialwissenschaftlichen Publizierens, die parallel zu einer Zunahme des Frauenanteils in den Sozialwissenschaften stattgefunden hat. Ausgehend von Erklärungen der geschlechtsspezifischen Segregation in Organisationen beschreiben wir auf Basis eines selbst erstellten Datensatzes die Teilhabe von Frauen an der Publikation von Forschungsaufsätzen und Rezensionen sowie an Begutachtungen und Herausgebergremien. Trotz erheblicher Fortschritte in der Erhöhung ihrer Sichtbarkeit sind Frauen noch nicht entsprechend ihrem erwartbaren Anteil in allen Funktionsgruppen vertreten. Als Herausgeberinnen und als Autorinnen von Forschungsbeiträgen haben sie am stärksten aufgeholt, wobei sich bei letzteren Kooperationen mit Männern begünstigend ausgewirkt haben.
Ni3Sn4 and FeAl2 as vacancy variants of the W-type (“bcc”) structure
Authors: Leineweber Andreas
Published: July 2023

Systematization of the vast number of known crystal structures of intermetallic phases is a challenge. One previously proposed group is referred to here as vacancy variants of the W-type structure. Members of this group, may, however, not be easily recognized because of the structural irregularity introduced by the vacancies. Descriptions of the experimentally observed crystal structures of Ni3Sn4 and FeAl2 in terms of vacancy variants of the W-type structure are, respectively, derived by establishing a lattice correspondence with the W-type structure, allowing, in particular, identification of the vacant sites. In both cases only small deviatoric strains are required to obtain the experimentally encountered lattice parameters, and generally small atomic displacements occur from the ideal positions, thus demonstrating significance of the lattice correspondence. The lattice correspondences allow, for both Ni3Sn4 and FeAl2, relating reported microstructure evidence (directions/planes occurring in orientation relationships and crystal habits but also on twinning and slip) with such typical for metals and solid solutions with W-type (“bcc”) structures. This demonstrates that the established lattice correspondences have a significance going beyond a descriptive one, but the underlying W-type structures reveal themselves in the materials’ behavior.
“Gilded Cages”
Authors: Deol Amrit
Published: July 2023

In 1923, the landmark Supreme Court case, United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind determined that Bhagat Singh Thind and all other “Hindus” were ineligible for citizenship because they did not meet the “common understanding” of white. This article explores the debates surrounding the question “who is the ‘Hindu?’” in the United States in the early 1900s. The article depicts how the racialized category of “Hindu” was fabricated and constantly curated throughout the early twentieth century to protect the Anglo-American claim to whiteness. This challenges the idea that the category of “Hindu” was labeled as “non-white” following the United States v. Thind decision in 1923 and instead, highlights how the “Hindu” was always made to be “non-white.” Here, the article showcases the leading discourses in written media, labor, and immigration policies surrounding the racial classification of South Asian men in the United States, also known as “Hindu/Hindoos,” from 1906 to 1923. The question posed by these three American sources of discourse was not an ontological one set to explore the essence or being of “Hindu,” but rather a brutal effort to place the “Hindu” in a position to fail in American racial politics. This article examines the development of the racial category of “Hindu” in labor and immigration discourse and how it became embedded within the American “common sense.”
On Brown Blood
Authors: Shankar Arjun
Published: July 2023

This article uses the conceptual space of “brown blood” to analyze United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind at the intersection of race and caste. The racial politics of blood has been somewhat submerged in the ongoing discussions of racism and racialization, which have been dominated by the representational politics of skin color. However, the Thind case, as I argue, hinges on an understanding of racial blood politics that intersected with casteist discourses that were also emerging globally. On the one hand, brown blood represents the romantic ideas associating brownness with assimilation. This dimension of brown blood allowed for the ascendance and mobility of savarna Indians in the late twentieth century. At the same time, the Thind case hinged upon the racialization of caste in India’s late-nineteenth-century colonial-caste society. I show how caste-as-blood set in motion new migratory patterns and mobility regimes for perceived dominant caste peoples, which, ultimately, initiated further accumulationist possibilities. My analysis serves to illustrate the complex interactions of race and caste in current global geopolitics, an understanding that is especially important as more and more dominant caste Hindus have intimate relations with and power within the United States.
The Afterlives of Thind
Authors: Haider Janna E.
Published: July 2023

This article analyzes denaturalization proceedings that the US Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles initiated against five South Asian men in the Los Angeles area in the weeks following the US Supreme Court decision in United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind. The author argues that Thind created an opportunity for bureaucrats in the US government to denaturalize other US citizens of South Asian descent by holding them accountable to legal constructions of race that had not been in place at the time of their naturalization. Post-Thind, the government argued that these naturalized citizens were not White and never had been, despite American judges having signed their naturalization petitions in the years prior to Thind. By retroactively holding these five South Asian men accountable to constructions of race that had not been in place at the time of their naturalization, the courts, attorneys, and naturalization agents gave the new, post-Thind definitions of whiteness the appearance of permanence and stability. The inherent flexibility of casting race backward across time while arguing that it had always been constructed thusly meant that the five naturalized citizens had broken the law in obtaining their citizenship.

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are rare autoimmune systemic diseases characterized by muscle weakness and the presence of muscle‐infiltrating T cells. IIM represent a clinical challenge due to heterogeneity of symptoms and variability of response to immunosuppressive treatment. Here, we performed in‐depth single‐cell sequencing on muscle‐infiltrating T cells and peripheral blood memory T cells in six patients with recently diagnosed IIM. We identified tissue resident memory T‐cell (TRM) signatures including the expression of HOBIT, XCL1 and CXCR6 in the muscle biopsies of all patients with IIM. Clonally expanded T‐cell clones were mainly found among cytotoxic and TRM implying their role in the disease pathogenesis. Finally, identical expanded T‐cell clones persisting at follow‐up in the muscle tissue of two patients suggest their involvement in disease chronicity. Our study reveals a muscle tissue resident memory T‐cell signature in patients with IIM and a transcriptomic map to identify novel therapeutic targets in IIM.
The Notary's Responsibility Regarding Deliberate Dishonesty Actions
Authors: Achmad Andyna Susiawati , Indradewi Astrid Athina
Published: July 2023

A notary is a public official who performs his or her position based on the authority given to him or her by the law. A notary declares and states the wishes of all parties in the authentic deed according to his or her legal knowledge. Prior to that, a notary has to make sure the deed does not violate the law, public order, or morality. One of the common problems with notarial deeds is when false statements are found in an authentic deed. The inclusion of false statements above into an authentic deed is a crime that is covered by Article 263 Paragraph (1) juncto Paragraph 264 Paragraph (1) of the Indonesian Criminal Law. This research is normative juridical research with a statutory approach and conceptual approach. The conclusion of this research is most of the false statements found in authentic deeds came from the parties interested in the deed; however, this does not mean a notary cannot be involved. Criminal law seeks material truth, and material truth cannot be assumed that the notary has only reiterated the wishes of the involved parties. The Notary may make two kinds of mistakes, intentionally or negligently. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish between deliberate dishonesty and malpractice in notaries during their duties. A notary who intentionally submits false information to their deed the measures it called an act of deliberate dishonesty.
Regulation Concept of Optimizing Biodiversity Function due to Climate Change through Biological Insurance
Authors: Lubis Efridani , Al Iksan Andrean
Published: July 2023

Biological diversity, also known as genetic resources, plays a crucial role in sustaining human existence. Despite its significance, the destruction of these resources continues to persist over time, partly due to the impact of climate change. Numerous mechanisms have been implemented at both international and national levels to address this issue. However, the IUCN Red List indicates that the apprehensive situation persists, with 28% (35,765 species) of known species categorized as threatened with extinction as of 2020. In light of this challenge, an alternative worth considering is the concept of biological insurance, wherein biological or genetic resources become objects of insurance in general. Implementing this approach would require careful adjustments and, more importantly, scientific argumentation to support the idea both legally and economically. By employing normative legal research alongside statute and conceptual approaches, it has become evident that the current environmental insurance available in the market does not adequately protect the uniqueness of biological diversity. To strengthen the protection of biological diversity, it is essential to incorporate the sustainable use of natural resources for the prosperity of people while ensuring their sustainability indefinitely. Developing a comprehensive environmental insurance system would involve proposing a specific set of terms and conditions for biological insurance tailored to its unique characteristics. This approach seeks to safeguard and promote the conservation of biological or genetic diversity effectively.
Intellectual Property as an Object of Banks Collateral in Startup Development in Indonesia (Comparation Study of Singapore and Malaysia)
Authors: Marcello Giovanni , Mastiyanto Rafi Rifal
Published: July 2023

Startups heavily rely on capital for their business activities, often acquired through borrowing. Securing capital loans with guarantees is vital to ensure repayment. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) offer valuable intangible assets that can serve as collateral. However, Indonesia's current regulations on using IPR as collateral, particularly in debt financing, are insufficient. In contrast, Singapore and Malaysia successfully implemented the Intellectual Property Financing Scheme (IPFS). This paper examines a regulatory model for implementing IPFS in Indonesia. It explores how to effectively utilize intellectual property schemes as debt guarantees in Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia. The author uses the normative juridical research method for this study. The analysis concludes that IPFS is a viable solution for Indonesia if two key indicators are met. First, a due diligence scheme for intellectual property assets must be developed and optimized to ensure reliable and valuable collateral. Second, implementing a nationally integrated Government Program to optimize startup capital will support the successful adoption of IPFS in Indonesia. By establishing a robust regulatory model and embracing IPFS, Indonesia can harness the potential of its intellectual property assets to boost startup capital and encourage business growth. This will improve financing accessibility for startups and foster an environment conducive to innovation and entrepreneurship in the country.
Quo Vadis Protection of The Basic Rights of Indonesian Workers: Highlighting The Omnibus Legislation and Job Creation Law
Authors: Aryani Nyoman Mas , Laksmi Danyathi Ayu Putu , Hermanto Bagus
Published: July 2023

This article focused on the dynamics following the enactment of the Law on Job Creation. Pros and cons were raised publicly, with proponents arguing that the Omnibus Legislation method could be used to propose leaps and further forward steps for national economic acceleration with more effective and efficient investment and the creation of new job fields in Indonesia. However, the opposition argued that this law, enacted using the Omnibus Legislation method, was not prepared and did not involve workers or worker unions in the lawmaking process prior to its enactment. Furthermore, this law has crucial and controversial provisions that weaken workers’ rights fulfillment compared to the previous arrangement. This condition is the primary issue that created a chasm between workers with their rights and their employers, and it is the basis for further analysis of legal norms in the entirety of the Law on Manpower and the Law on Job Creation. With the use of a normative legal research method supported by a statutory law approach and a legal conceptual approach, as well as a legal material searching method and argumentative analysis, legal research is conducted. This article discovers and proposes fundamental principles, concept formulation, and concept proof comprehensively regarding Employment Law policy dynamics in Indonesia and pursues basic rights of workers protection after enactment of the Omnibus Law on Job Creation to ensure the realization of worker rights protection including industrial relations problem, and certainty guarantee that Employer must fulfill.
Profilaktyka zakażeń u wcześniaków i noworodków – jaki antyseptyk wybrać?
Authors: Oleksy-Wawrzyniak Monika , Brożyna Malwina , Piątkowska Elżbieta , Niewińska Kinga , Bartoszewicz Marzenna
Published: July 2023

Streszczenie: Noworodki urodzone przed ukończonym 37. tygodniem ciąży klasyfikuje się jako wcześniaki. Wcześniactwo często związane jest z niską masą urodzeniową dzieci, tj. wagą poniżej 2500 g, i stanowi najczęstszą przyczynę śmierci niemowląt w pierwszym miesiącu życia oraz drugą najczęstszą przyczynę zgonów dzieci poniżej 5. roku życia. U około 20% noworodków i niemowląt z bardzo niską masą urodzeniową występują infekcje układowe, z czego przyczyną ponad połowy zgonów jest sepsa. Ze względu na czas wystąpienia zakażenia wyróżnia się sepsę wczesną (do 72 godzin po urodzeniu) i późną. W Polsce najczęściej izolowanymi patogenami w zakażeniach krwi u noworodków są: S. agalactiae, E. coli, K. pneumoniae, Enterobacter sp., A. baumannii, gronkowce koagulazo-ujemne i C. albicans; rzadziej – S. aureus, H. influenzae i L. monocytogenes. Skuteczna dezynfekcja skóry za pomocą miejscowo działających środków przeciwdrobnoustrojowych stanowi istotny czynnik prewencyjny w ograniczaniu występowania zakażeń szpitalnych u wcześniaków. Jednak ze względu na niedojrzałość powłok skórnych u tej grupy pacjentów oraz ryzyko powikłań, decyzja o wyborze właściwego preparatu, w świetle braku oficjalnych wytycznych, jest często trudna. Stosowanie u wcześniaków powidonu jodu zwiększa ryzyko wystąpienia niedoczynności tarczycy. Chlorheksydyna i oktenidyna mogą powodować podrażnienia skóry z oparzeniami włącznie, antyseptyki alkoholowe natomiast mogą działać neurotoksycznie. Najbezpieczniejszym i najskuteczniejszym antyseptykiem – zarówno u noworodków przedwcześnie urodzonych, jak i z niską masą urodzeniową – na chwilę obecną wydaje się być poliheksanidyna z betainą.

Published: July 2023

Hoy en día tanto la sociedad como la educación viven un momento de transformación, apoyada principalmente en el rápido progreso tecnológico que ha proporcionado nuevas formas de interactuar. Además, en el caso particular de la educación, este proceso de transformación ha supuesto la incursión de nuevas metodologías de enseñanza-aprendizaje de carácter activo entre las que se encuentra la gamificación. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo fue presentar una propuesta de intervención, basada en el aprendizaje mediante el juego, específicamente, el de un escape room que se enmarca en el área de Matemáticas, con el fin de poder observar el progreso y adquisición de competencias académicas específicas y cooperativas por parte del alumnado. Para esto, se llevó a cabo una investigación acción basada en la metaevaluación sobre el nivel ontológico (realidad estudiada), epistemológico (qué, quién, por qué y para qué enseñar) y, principalmente, metodológico mediante el análisis de la aplicabilidad metodológica de las técnicas de gamificación y escape room en Educación Primaria. Para ello, se contó con una muestra de 20 estudiantes de 2º curso de Educación Primaria de un Centro Educativo público de la ciudad de Zaragoza, España. El 40% eran chicos y un 60% chicas. Como resultados y conclusiones principales se señala que el uso de este tipo de metodologías influyó positivamente en la adquisición de competencias matemáticas, además, se dio una mejora del ambiente cooperativo del aula e incremento de la motivación. Todo ello, evaluado desde la perspectiva de dos personas docentes con los roles de Observador 1 participante y Observador 2 externo. Esto implica la reflexión sobre la necesidad de continuar desarrollando actuaciones de transformación pedagógica en el aula, con el fin de adaptar la enseñanza a las exigencias y demandas de la sociedad actual.

Published: July 2023

La presente investigación pretendió validar, por medio de un taller, un Plan de Educación Ambiental basado en manglares en la comunidad costera de Chacarita, Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Este proceso educativo estuvo conformado por competencias, las cuales fueron identificadas por medio de una encuesta aplicada a la comunidad, donde se incluyeron conocimientos, habilidades y actitudes. A los participantes del taller de validación se les aplicó un pre y post test, para evaluar la adquisición de las competencias y se midió el tamaño del efecto (d de Cohen) que tuvo el taller en el fortalecimiento de dichas competencias entre los y las asistentes. Asistieron 15 personas, de las cuales un 80% fueron mujeres. Asimismo, un 80% tenía edades entre 25 y 48 años. Se demostraron diferencias significativas entre los pre y post-test aplicados (p < .05; p = .002; d = 0.45), por lo que existió un cambio positivo en la adquisición de las competencias. Los resultados obtenidos permitieron la creación de un manual educativo de fácil comprensión basado en manglares. En conclusión, los enfoques participativos son particularmente adecuados para la planificación y el desarrollo de programas educativos, ya que permiten que las comunidades adquieran no solo competencias, sino que se genere información para una mejor gestión de los recursos naturales.
La paz como contralectura: presupuesto de disgregación social

No es, ciertamente, la pregunta más preponderante, ni la más acertada aquella que inquiere la conceptualidad de un contenido determinado, máxime cuando al proyectarse una respuesta, el contenido diversificado del resultado expresa una serie aglutinada de diversas perspectivas que condenan al significado de un concepto a una no-realidad consensuada, un barullo de voces en busca de su autoproclamación legítima; de hecho, por descuento, no es, precisamente, el escudriñar ¿qué sea la paz?, la pregunta más predominante, aunque, lógicamente, es la primera que pasa a responderse, sino ¿qué cosa puede acontecer cuando aquella –la paz– se enquista como tendencia final, en tanto, propósito definitivo?, ¿acaso puede, en sí, producir un esquema deficitario en la sociedad misma en que los espíritus se dispersen, exactamente, por su contenido aporético?

Struvite recovery from anaerobically digested waste-activated sludge: A short review
Authors: Otieno Benton , Funani Charmaine Kgomotso , Khune Selebogo Mervyn , Kabuba John , Osifo Peter
Published: July 2023

Effective treatment of waste streams such as municipal waste-activated sludge (WAS) presents an opportunity for energy and nutrient recovery, water reclamation, and mitigation of climate change. WAS is a waste product of the activated sludge treatment (AST) process widely used for municipal wastewater. Currently, WAS treatment and disposal account for up to 50% of the total operation cost and 40% of the total greenhouse gas emissions from wastewater treatment plants. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is usually preferred for WAS treatment since it is more economical compared to other existing technologies. The decomposition of sludge during AD releases nutrients, which are then discharged in the anaerobic effluent, polluting recipient water bodies and increasing the nutrient burden. The nutrients, mainly nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), can be crystallised into struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate, NH4MgPO4.6H2O) with numerous agricultural applications as fertilisers. The present review focusses on struvite recovery from anaerobically digested WAS and its potential application for crop production.

Picophytoplankton of the Northeast U.S. Shelf: community composition and dynamics
Authors:   , Stevens Bethany L. F.
Published: July 2023

Marine picophytoplankton are the most abundant primary producers in the ocean and are expected to be favored by the ongoing effects of climate change. Predicting the response of marine ecosystems to these changes requires mechanistic knowledge of picophytoplankton ecology. This thesis uses a combination of long-term monitoring, cruise data, population models, and high-throughput sequencing to investigate the dynamics of picophytoplankton across scales of space and time that are relevant both to the physiology of the individual cells and to the structure of the Northeast U.S. Shelf (NES), a productive and economically important coastal ecosystem. To identify the drivers of seasonal changes in picophytoplankton abundance, I first estimate daily division and loss rates for a nearshore community of picoeukaryotes over a 16-year period. I compare their cell concentrations, vital rates, and responses to environmental variables to those of the cyanobacteria, Synechococcus. Next, to reveal how these dynamics relate to changes in community composition, I analyze 9-years of monthly metabarcoding data and characterize taxonomic variability within the picoeukaryote assemblage. In the second half of this thesis, I explore spatial environmental variability and test the extent to which data from the nearshore observatory are representative of the picophytoplankton communities across the NES. I analyze flow-cytometry data collected from 22 regional research cruises, estimate daily Synechococcus and picoeukaryote division rates from underway data, and describe the distinct depth distributions of the two groups from subsurface samples. The major findings of this thesis are that, across the NES, the picoeukaryotes divide at much higher rates than the more abundant Synechococcus and are subject to greater top-down control from grazing or viral lysis. Both groups are light limited in the fall, temperature limited in the spring, and undergo earlier spring blooms in warmer offshore waters. For Synechococcus, the relationships between cell concentration, division rate and environmental parameters are consistent across the continental shelf, while the picoeukaryote community appears to be nutrient-limited farther from shore. Together, this work creates a detailed picture of the various controls on picophytoplankton abundance within a dynamic coastal ecosystem and advances our understanding of how picophytoplankton communities respond to environmental change.

Published: July 2023

OBJECTIVES Recovery is a crucial factor for soccer players, for which nutritional intake is essential. The purpose of this study is to introduce 4R nutrition strategies for optimized recovery of soccer players and provide practical guidelines.METHODS A literature review was conducted through web searches on PubMed, Web of Science, and Wiley Online Library, using keywords such as “soccer,” “recovery,” and “nutrition."RESULTS For optimized recovery of soccer players, nutrition strategies should include fluids, electrolytes, carbohydrates, proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants. Such nutritional intake can aid glycogen repletion of soccer players and reduce muscle damage and fatigue, preparing them for the next match or training while preventing injuries, thus forming a critical foundation.CONCLUSIONS Nutritional intake can be a powerful and effective tool to promote recovery in soccer players. Evidence-based approaches are required in applying these nutritional strategies in field, and specific guidelines should be presented to facilitate the implementation by soccer players.

ABSTRACT Introduction: obesity is one of the most common diseases worldwide, and the most effective treatment to it is the bariatric surgery. One of the negative impacts of this procedure is the body dysmorphia caused by overhanging skin. In Brazil, the national health system - Sistema Único de Sáude (SUS) - provide body contouring surgery to treat post-bariatric patients, since 2007. This article aims to describe the Brazilian public health approach to post bariatric patients and perform an analyze in the Brazilian health care database. Methods: in Brazilian Health System database, a search for the post-bariatric procedures performed between 2007 to 2021 was done. The variables analyzed were geographic location, year, mean days of hospitalization, death, and mortality rate. Also, we evaluated the number of bariatric procedures done in the same period. Statistical analysis was performed using the Student-t and the chi-square tests and p-value <0.5 was considered significant. Results: a total of 12,717 plastic surgery procedures in post bariatric patients were done, with a national prevalence of 13.8%. Dermolipectomy was the most performed procedure, with 6,719. The years of 2020 and 2021 suffered a decreased of 64.3% and 70.9% in the number of surgeries (p<0,001). Bariatric Procedures had a high rate and a higher percentage of growth comparing to post bariatric surgery (p<0,001), totalizing 93,589 surgeries. Conclusions: Brazil had a significant number of body contouring surgery, however with a low prevalence. Dermoliepctomy was the most common procedure performed. We could notice a significant impact of COVID pandemic in those procedures .

RESUMO: Neste artigo analisam-se os efeitos de inclusão social de duas políticas de ação afirmativa adotadas pela Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG): a política de bônus e a Lei de Cotas. Compara-se a inclusão social propiciada por essas políticas sob dois ângulos: o acesso em si à UFMG e a distribuição do público-alvo entre as graduações da instituição, considerando sua hierarquia horizontal interna. Verificam-se as mudanças no perfil do alunado focalizando três variáveis: raça, origem escolar e renda familiar. Com base em estatísticas descritivas, conclui-se que as duas políticas tiveram efeitos relevantes na inclusão social, mas de formas distintas. A política do bônus elevou o ingresso de estudantes das escolas públicas, negros e de baixa renda, mas principalmente nos cursos menos seletivos. Já a Lei de Cotas contribuiu de maneira mais efetiva para aumentar o acesso desses grupos aos cursos mais seletivos, reduzindo as desigualdades horizontais. Observa-se, no entanto, que permanecem desigualdades expressivas no acesso aos cursos da universidade que ainda precisam ser enfrentadas.

Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT: A didactic wind tunnel was designed and built as a pedagogical proposal aimed at teachers and students of a technical course in mechatronics integrated into the high school at the Federal Institute of São Paulo. The proposal aimed to analyze the learning results from the implementation of the project added to an experimental test; as well as to investigate the integration of contents and the interdisciplinarity in this didactic practice, and also present the technical-mathematical analysis involved in the construction of the equipment and the experimental test. The simultaneous and integrated approach between analysis of pedagogical practice and technical-mathematical investigation constitutes a differential of this research. Positive points arising from the pedagogical practice were evidenced and may support future didactic interactions in the development of projects with experimental testing. Besides proving existing theories about air dynamics, the proposal sought to bring students closer to the universe of applied science through a dialogic and encouraging teacher mediation, as well as providing a holistic view between theory and practice set in high school integrated with professional and technological training.
