Authors: Oliveira Livania Norberta de , Aquino Cláudia Maria Sabóia de
Published: March 2020

O conhecimento das propriedades térmicas do solo é fundamental para o entendimento dos processos físicos existentes no ambiente. Desta forma, objetiva-se neste estudo, analisar a variação da temperatura do solo na sub-bacia hidrográfica do rio Gurguéia-Piauí, entre os anos de 1987 e 2017 com o propósito de subsidiar ações sustentáveis para a região que pertence a atual fronteira do agronegócio brasileiro. Utilizou-se de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, assim como do SIG ArcGis para o mapeamento da área. Constatou-se que a bacia apresentou variação térmica do solo entre os anos analisados, em decorrência do aumento do solo exposto devido o avanço da fronteira agrícola no Estado, que em 2017 apresentou em aproximadamente 42% da área temperatura do solo acima de 30ºC, podendo comprometer a manutenção das atividades agrícolas atuais no decorrer do tempo. Desta forma, torna-se essencial para a sustentabilidade do ambiente que seja feito o planejamento e gerenciamento da sub-bacia do rio Gurguéia, utilizando como parâmetro a temperatura do solo, buscando incorporar todos os recursos ambientais da área de drenagem, assim como integrar os aspectos ambientais, sociais, econômicos e políticos da área.

Teaching the EU in Brexit Britain: Responsive Teaching at a Time of Uncertainty and Change
Authors: O'Mahony Jane
Published: March 2020

The decision by the electorate of the United Kingdom (UK) in June 2016 marked the first time in its history that a member state of the European Union (EU) voted to leave. For the EU, its story is no longer primarily one of cooperation and integration but also of disintegration. For the UK, implementing Brexit has thrown its economic, geopolitical and territorial models into question in an unprecedented way. From the moment of the referendum result it was clear it was no longer going to be business as usual for scholars and teachers of the EU in the UK.  Drawing on an action research approach, this article explores how the referendum result affected what and how this educator teaches the EU at a time of uncertainty and change for the UK. This is best encapsulated in the idea of responsiveness. This included responding to students’ desires to broaden and deepen what they study as they try to make sense of myriad complex and continuously changing political events in an age of the internet and social media, as well as navigating new social dynamics that have emerged in the classroom at a time when the politics of identity is increasingly salient.

Insights into the COVID-19 pandemic from a rare neurodegenerative disease
Authors: Sturley Stephen , Márka Zsuzsa , Márka Szabolcs , Hammond Natalie , Rajakumar Tamayanthi , Munkacsi Andrew
Published: March 2020

The current justified furor regarding epidemic preparedness has emphasized an unmet need for therapeutic strategies that lead to rapid implementation. The prompt identification and sequencing of the COVID-19 genome has prompted herculean efforts to rapidly design and produce vaccines and other antiviral interventions. Nevertheless, the generalized availability of such therapeutics will be markedly out of phase with the first wave of this disease. Strategic drug repurposing combined with rapid testing of molecular targets could provide at least a pause in disease progression and aid mitigation. With respect to the current pandemic, COVID-19, in common with other enveloped viruses (e.g. HIV, Ebola, SARS, and MERS) encounter the endosomal/lysosomal host compartment as a critical step for infection and maturation. A surprisingly key interaction requires engagement of the Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) pathway. This observation prompts the utilization of NPC1 inhibitors as antiviral agents. Fortunately, there are such molecules, in many cases available as generics that could be rapidly deployed in the upcoming months. Herein we expand upon this strategy and its scientific underpinning wherein given the biological conservation of SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2, and the role of the NPC1-dependent late endosome/lysosome lipid pathway in coronavirus infections, we suggest that the known mechanistic information on NPC1 could be utilized within the context of COVID-19 and associated candidate therapeutics.
A Multidimensional View on Social and Non-social Rewards
Authors: Matyjek Magdalena , Meliss Stefanie , Dziobek Isabel , Murayama Kou
Published: March 2020

Social rewards are a broad and heterogeneous set of stimuli, which have been widely investigated in cognitive and social neuroscience/psychology. Research often contrasts the neural processing of social rewards with non-social ones, with the aim to demonstrate the privileged and unique nature of social rewards or to examine shared neural processing underlying them. However, such comparisons mostly neglect other important dimensions of rewards that are conflated in those types of rewards: primacy, temporal proximity, duration, familiarity, source, tangibility, naturalness, and magnitude. We identify how commonly used rewards in both social and non-social domains may differ in respect to these dimensions and how their interaction calls for careful consideration of alternative interpretations of observed effects. Altogether, these methodological considerations aim to inform and improve future experimental designs in research utilizing rewarding stimuli, especially in the social domain.

Published: March 2020

Introduction: Assessment of cognitive impairment is recommended as part of the comprehensive care of psychotic disorders. Brief neuropsychological assessments are particularly needed in low resource settings, but few reviews have focused on work done in this context. We aimed to undertake a systematic review of work done in low- and middle-income countries on brief neuropsychological assessments of cognitive impairment in psychotic disorders. Method: A systematic review was performed following PRISMA guidelines. We searched PubMed, Embase and PsycINFO for articles in which a brief neuropsychological test was used to assess cognitive impairment in patients with psychotic disorders in a low- and middle- income country (LMIC) context. Data on whether tests had been validated against the gold standard was abstracted. Data was also abstracted on the tests used, the domains assessed, personnel performing the tests, duration of tests and were abstracted. Results: A total of 29 articles met the inclusion criteria; these studied 3,184 participants with psychosis and 1,261 controls. No test was validated against a gold standard such as the MATRICS consensus cognitive battery. There was marked variability in the tests used, but most were delivered using pen and paper and assessed for cognitive impairment in the reasoning and problem solving domain. All but two publications used highly skilled personnel to perform the assessments.Conclusion: Although a few studies have focused on neuropsychological assessment of cognitive impairment in psychotic disorders in the LMIC context, none compared a brief neuropsychological test with a gold standard. Further work is therefore needed to determine the validity of brief neuropsychological assessment of cognitive impairment in psychotic disorders in these settings.

Published: March 2020

The disposal of cattle carcasses is a potential economic and environmental liability. The destination of cattle carcasses is a critical point in rural properties, where animal mortality is a reality, added to the difficulties for its proper disposal. Inappropriate disposal of carcasses brings environmental contamination by pathogenic microorganisms, endangering human and animal health and the environment. Composting is a biological decomposition process of organic matter and a practical and simple alternative for carcass disposal. Was evaluated the effect of composting on the viability of indicator microorganisms relevant to cattle breeding. Plastic spheres containing lyophilized pathogenic microorganisms Echerichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus uberis, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus and Salmonella Typhimurium, were placed at strategic points inside the carcass and in the compost piles, to monitor the presence of these microorganisms during the process. Plastic balls were removed from composting piles 7, 15, 30, 60 and 90 days for microbiological analysis. The results showed that composting reduces and / or eliminates pathogenic microorganisms. Composting provides microbiological safety for the use of the bio-compost generated as fertilizer.

Published: March 2020

Gallbladder mucocele is one of the causes of extrahepatic biliary obstruction that causes abnormal bile flow and leads to a number of systemic changes. The ultrasound examination is extremely important for its diagnosis and early onset of treatment. A 13-year-old poodle canine was treated at the Luciana Guidolin Veterinary Clinic in Caxias do Sul (RS). The patient had dehydration, apathy and pain on palpation. The blood count showed leukocytosis, the liver enzymes ALT and ALP presented values of 706 mg / dL and 1620 mg/dL, respectively. The ultrasound examination showed an image compatible with mucocele, with the possibility of rupture or imminent rupture of the gallbladder. Based on this information, cholecystomy was performed. On the fifth day of hospitalization, the clinical condition worsened, and the tutor decided to euthanize. After necropsy, histological findings led to the diagnosis of hepatic rupture and fibrin peritonitis.

L’Éducation des filles congolaises au maquis de Mulele : Arme de libération ou force d’(auto)destruction?
Authors: Kikumbi Annette Lembagusala , Depaepe Marc
Published: March 2020

Depuis ses origines remontant au temps colonial, l’école congolaise est marquée par l’absence d’une relation dialectique «Ecole-Société » pouvant aboutir à un système harmonieux. Cette carence entraine la déculturation et le dualisme culturel au sein des structures éducatives. L’école maquisarde instituée par Mulele dans le Kwilu, présente un projet d’éducation compatible à la culture africaine. Dans cet article, nous donnons la voix aux maquisards (élèves et enseignants) qui racontent de leur vécu durant les années de la rébellion ; expériences qui seront qualifiés par les auteurs contre leur contexte historique et leurs mérites éducatifs. Notre question centrale consiste à savoir les effets de la dite insurrection sur l’éducation des filles. Qu’est-ce que la révolution leur a apporté de nouveau ? Comment s’organisaient les enseignements dans le maquis ? A quoi le rejet de la culture occidentale a-t-elle abouti ? Pour répondre à ces questions, nous nous servons des expériences scolaires de 20 élèves et 12 enseignants qui soulignent les enjeux majeurs de l’éducation maquisarde. Nous nous limitons à la province du Kwilu, siège de la rébellion muleliste. En plus des entretiens, nos sources proviennent des archives des Sœurs Annonciades d’Heverlee et du carnet de notes tenu par un chef d’équipe des maquisards rencontré à Kikwit.Since its inception in the colonial period, the Congolese school has been characterised by the absence of a “School-Society” dialectical relationship, which could potentially lead to a harmonious system. This deficiency leads to deculturation and cultural dualism within educational structures. The “resistance” school set up by Mulele in the Kwilu region offers an educational approach that is compatible with African culture. In this article, we let members of the maquis (students and teachers) talk about their experiences during the years of the rebellion; experiences that are qualified by the authors against their historical background and educational merits. Our key question concerns the effects of the insurrection on the education of girls. What new elements did the revolution bring them? How was teaching organised in the maquis? What did the rejection of Western culture lead to? To answer these questions, we look at the experiences of 20 pupils and 12 teachers which highlight the major issues facing education in the maquis. Here, we limit ourselves to the province of Kwilu, the heart of the rebellion led by Mulele. In addition to the interviews, our sources include the archives of the Annonciades Sisters of Heverlee and the notebook kept by a team leader of the maquisards met in Kikwit.
Reliability of a virtual reality driving simulator for individuals with neurological disorders
Authors: Patrick Kristina , Azar Martina , Bosenbark Danielle , Schultheis Maria T.
Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND:

Virtual reality (VR) offers an innovative method to assess the impact of neurocognitive deficits on daily activities like driving.

OBJECTIVE:

This study sought to evaluate the reliability of a VR driving simulator (VRDS) in assessing driving behaviors.

METHODS:

Participants included 91 individuals with a neurological condition (e.g., acquired brain injury, multiple sclerosis) and 59 participants with no history of neurological disorder. Internal consistency and split half reliability were examined from data for all participants for driving speed, lane positioning, and steering on a rural segment of the virtual reality driving simulator route. Test-retest reliability was examined for data from the 22 drivers who completed the same route sections across two time periods.

RESULTS:

Internal consistency and split half reliability were excellent (alphas [Formula: see text] 0.90) for speed and lane positioning on a basic rural route. Test-retest reliability was variable with adequate to good reliability of lane positioning and steering but poor reliability of speed.

CONCLUSIONS:

Findings suggest that VRDS is a generally reliable instrument for measuring speed, lane positioning, and steering in a virtual basic rural driving environment. Reliability of repeated testing is not consistent, likely due to practice effects, highlighting the importance of using a comparison group in VRDS studies.
MONITORING DIOXINS RESIDUE IN SURROUNDING AREA OF BIEN HOA AIRBASE
Authors: Mai Anh Tuan , Chu Hai Van
Published: March 2020

Bien Hoa Airbase is the military airport where the defoliants such Agent Orange, Agent White and Agent Blue were storaged during Ranch Hand Operation and Pacer Ivy Campaign. There was also happened some large chemical leakages in 1970 with total about 28,000 L. Nowadays Bien Hoa Airbase is named as one of three “hot spots” of Dioxin contamination and it is decontaminating by the national/international programs. However the risk caused by Dioxins/Furans residue spreading out through runoff and sewage from inside the area is still affecting on surrounding ecosystems as well as on the health of local population. Our monitoring result in dry and rainy seasons in 2010 has detected the residue of TCDD in soil (6/28 samples) with maximum concentration of 0.687 ng /g dry weight; in sediment (3/20 samples) with maximum concentration of 0.442 ng /g dry weight; and in fish sample with maximum concentration of 18.4 ng/kg wet weight. Compared with current Vietnamese and international standards these values are greater than the allowed standards (TEQ was 3-4 times higher than PEL value, max TEQ was up to 50 times higher than PEL value) and can cause adverse effects to ecosystems and human health if exposure long and continuous. Furthermore, the area around Bien Hoa Airbase were converted into residential areas with high population density, thus the need for research as well as warnings about this potential risk to health to residents in the area.
BUS MANAGEMENT AT HO CHI MINH CITY USING GPS AND GIS
Authors: Le Trung Van
Published: March 2020

In recent years, bus management is the most important function for any public transport organization that involves scheduling and planning of routes. Management of a bus fleet needs useful information to support the decision making in the public services such as monitoring the movement of vehicles at the same time ensuring that the buses run as per the schedule. However, the practical application of GIS and GPS for bus management in Ho Chi Minh city is limited and still at an early stage of development. Particularly, measures for effective use of integrated Global Positionaing System (GPS) and GIS are not widely used in planning and managing bus network. This paper introduces the solution for choosing the appropriate model of GPS and GIS to set up an online bus tracking system of Ho Chi Minh city, in terms of not only the cost saving benefit for setting up an information management system but also to support the setup of network for information exchange. Presented in this paper is a system, which was evolved by the suggested solution in using GPS and GIS technology for tracking of its buses in order to improve the quality of HCM city’s public transportation management services.

Published: March 2020

N-doped TiO2 powder was prepared by hydrolyzing titanium precursor combined with refluxing at the temperature around 1000C. Effects of N doping, refluxing time, and the presence of H2O2 in the refluxed solution on the formation of TiO2 and their photocatalytic activities were investigated. The samples were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, DRS, FTIR, BET, and EDS. Their photocatalytic activities were characterized by photodegradation of methylene blue under UV and VIS radiation. Results showed that the N-doped TiO2 samples presented higher photocatalytic activities than undoped sample. The N-doped TiO2 refluxed in H2O2 solution performed porous samples with mixture of anatase and rutil, leading to higher surface area and higher photocatalytic activities than those refluxed in water. Increasing the reflux time from 2 hours to 10 hours improved the crystallinity of samples, but insignificantly affected phase composition as well as photocatalytic activities of N-doped TiO2.

In order to improve fire performance of polymeric materials, phosphorus flame retardants (FRs) were studied in an attempt to obtain UL-94 ratings for materials based on unsaturated polyester. The fire behaviors and thermal stability properties were evaluated using UL-94 vertical test and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The UL-94 test results show that V-1 rating is achieved. TGA and UL-94 results concluded that phosphorus FRs employed in this study works on both vapor phase and condensed phase, but the vapour phase is dominant mode of action. These suggested that the addition of FRs probably does affect on the char layer formed during combustion behavior and increase the flame retardant properties in the case of condensed phase mode of action. The efficiency of flame retardant of phosphorus also highly depends upon the phosphorus moieties generated during the decomposition which further converted to radical capturing species, and consequently quenching the flame in the case of gas phase mode of action. These FRs can be promising candidates that replace the halogen-based.

Authors: Tran Thanh Duy , Dang Tai Tan
Published: March 2020

Composite materials are usually made with organic matrixes reinforced by synthetic fillers, such as carbon or glass fibers.... But the high cost and environmental awareness of the synthetic fibers has limited their application. Meanwhile, natural fibers have been very attractive because they have been low cost, low density, eco-friendly, available in high quantities, renewable, biodegradable and shown excellent mechanical properties. In this study, green composite materials were prepared by using unsaturated polyester resins and bamboo fibers. The fibers were previously modified by chemical treatment and inserted into matrix in the role of the reinforcement. Some factors effecting to properties of products showed more advantages than modifier content were studied meticulously. As a result, composite products showed more advantages than neat polymer. For example, it does not only improve significantly mechanical properties but also becomes cheaper and friendlier with environment.

The model is base on non-equilibrium Green function method and implemented by using graphic user interface of Matlab. The current-voltage characteristics such as drain current-voltage, drain current-gate voltage ones are explored. Some characteristics reproduced by the proposed model are compared with experimental results of single electron transistor and good agreements are validated.
CONTEMPORARY FRENCH LITERATURE: SOME REFLECTIONS ON THE CREATION AND CRITIQUE
Authors: Pham Quang Van
Published: March 2020

What is the value of literature in society today? This question seems fundamental and has already become the focus for many writers and critics in contemporary French literature, especially after the appearance of Structuralism. The objective of this paper is not to question the function of literature in society but to insist on the existential aspect of the literature and his relationship with the world of language. Specifically, we focus on the language element as an “another” reality that becomes not only space of creation, but opens a visible way to critique. Thus, the dialectical relationship between creative writing and language itself argues contemporary literature. To justify this hypothesis, we take as example the case of Roland Barthes and Jacques Lacan, who implement the language in literary analysis. Towards the literary creation, Christian Prigent exemplifies contemporary writer who treats language as the essence of his literary works.
ABOUT THE LINK OF ORIGINS BETWEEN THE INHABITANTS IN THE SOUTH IN ANCIENT TIMES AND SOME ETHNIC GROUPS IN THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS
Authors: Ngo Le Van
Published: March 2020

The South of Vietnam is an area of plains; however, it has special features not only in Vietnam, but also world-wide as it is the place where a lot of ethnic groups live, leading to multireligion and multi-culture. The history of formation and development of the land is closely associated with the process of reclaiming virgin soil, building up villages, expanding the territory to establish, to enforce and to defend sovereignty of communities whose dominating role lies in the Viet’s hands. Due to the South’s special characteristics and big significance to the country development, there have been a lot of researches to affirm the cultural values of the communities living in the land, contributing to the enrichment of the Vietnamese culture. On the other hand, there are also researches on a bigger scale which cover the whole region revealing a lot of evidences from the first inhabitants as well as their cultures. These inhabitants, as far as anthropological type and culture are concerned, are close to the ethnic groups of the Malayo-Polynesian language family. The expansion of territory, establisment as well as enforcement and protection of sovereignty of the Nguyen Loads and Nguyen Dynasty received positive and effective contribution from inhabitants of different ethnic groups out of whom the Viet played the dominating role. The paper, based on the materials and my knowledge, presents the link of origins between the inhabitants in the South in ancient times and some ethnic groups in the Central highlands in order to clarify the formation process of the Southern communities.

Published: March 2020

The post-genomic era consists of experimental and computational efforts to meet the challenge of clarifying and understanding the function of genes and their products. Proteomic studies play a key role in this endeavour by complementing other functional genomics approaches, encompasses the large-scale analysis of complex mixtures, including the identification and quantification of proteins expressed under different conditions, the determination of their properties, modifications and functions. Understanding how biological processes are regulated at the protein level is crucial to understanding the molecular basis of diseases and often highlights the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. High-throughput technologies are widely used in proteomics to perform the analysis of thousands of proteins. Specifically, mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique for characterizing biological samples and is increasingly used in protein studies because of its targeted, nontargeted, and high performance abilities. However, as large data sets are created, computational methods such as data mining techniques are required to analyze and interpret the relevant data. More specifically, the application of data mining techniques in large proteomic data sets can assist in many interpretations of data; it can reveal protein-protein interactions, improve protein identification, evaluate the experimental methods used and facilitate the diagnosis and biomarker discovery. With the rapid advances in mass spectrometry devices and experimental methodologies, MS-based proteomics has become a reliable and necessary tool for elucidating biological processes at the protein level. Over the past decade, we have witnessed a great expansion of our knowledge of human diseases with the adoption of proteomic technologies based on MS, which leads to many interesting discoveries. Here, we review recent advances of data mining in MS-based proteomics in biomedical research. Recent research in many fields shows that proteomics goes beyond the simple classification of proteins in biological systems and finally reaches its initial potential – as an essential tool to aid related disciplines, notably biomedical research. From here, there is great potential for data mining in MS-based proteomics to move beyond basic research, into clinical research and diagnostics.
