O jednom poľsko-slovenskom pohraničí, špecifickom dialekte a ľudovej múdrosti
Authors: Stenchláková Monika
Published: June 2024

The primary objective of this paper was to introduce the Goral municipality Skalité, including its geographical features, cultural elements, and a brief historical overview. As the Goral culture is an integral part of the municipality’s culture, this paper also highlights the Goral celebrations that have taken place in the local amphitheater since 1992. Additionally, this work characterizes the Goral dialects on Slovak territory and provides a concise phonetic system for this dialect. The central focus of this paper centers on the results of a questionnaire survey in which 170 respondents participated. The questionnaire’s initial section inquired about respondents’ gender, age category, residency status, and level of familiarity with the dialect. The second part of the questionnaire focused on 11 obsolete fixed phrases in the dialect. The results underscore the importance of capturing dialects in various forms and preserving them as cultural monuments of our ancestors.
The importance of maintaining endoscopy as a placement for student nurses
Authors: Urwin Claire
Published: June 2024

The wide range of feedback received by undergrad student nurse placements working in endoscopy is often inconsistent. This has been considered in relation to national policy and future workforce planning. Reviewing the content, mechanism and exposure for education specifically focused upon signs, symptoms, diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal disorders in undergraduate nursing education may improve patient care and service provision. Recruitment and retention to any clinical area is challenging currently, therefore understanding the impact of student learning opportunities and the importance of a positive student experience within endoscopy to help recruit a future workforce that includes advanced practice clinicians is essential.

Published: June 2024

Jetonlar, tarih öncesi çağlardan günümüze toplumsal ilişkileri oluşturan toplumun maddi yapısı, yönetim biçimi, ritüelleri, festivalleri, inançları hakkında pek çok bilgi veren materyallerdir. Farklı malzeme ve tasarımlara sahip jetonlar, “moneti form” altında tesserae, spintriae, symbola, oy jetonları, countermark olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Arkeolojik kazılarda bazen tekil bazen de çok sayıda ele geçen bu jetonların işlevleri üzerinde çok fazla durulmamıştır. Bu çalışmada, 1970 li yıllarda Lykia’nın kutsal alanı Letoon’dan ele geçen 179 adet pişmiş toprak jeton incelenmiştir. Jetonlar, 2016 ve 2018 yıllarında gerçekleştirilen kazı deposu çalışmaları sırasında keşfedilmiş ve yazar tarafından çalışılmıştır. Jetonların detaylı buluntu alanı, konteksti, stratigrafisi hakkında bilgi bulunmamaktadır ve kazı raporlarında jetonlardan bahsedilmemiştir. Jetonların büyük bir çoğunluğu tiyatro furnicatum tonozunun önündeki teras alanından ele geçmiştir. İncelenen jetonlardan bazıları işaretlidir. Letoon’dan ele geçen jetonların da birden fazla kullanım amacı olabileceği ileri sürülmektedir. Jetonların bazıları işaretlenmiştir bazılarının da üzerinde sayı ya da monogram bulunur. Jetonların, Romaia Letoia festivalleri ile agonistik gösterilerin yapıldığı, ayrıca meclis binası işlevi ile de kullanılan tiyatroya yakın bir bölgeden, topluca ele geçmesi, az çalışılmış bu objelerin kutsal alan için çok çeşitli kullanımları olabileceğini göstermektedir.
Milas Müzesi nden Geç Hellenistik Dönem e Ait İki Mezar Steli
Authors: AYTEKİN Fatma , EROL Ayşe Fatma
Published: June 2024

Milas Müzesi’nde muhafaza edilen Stel I ve Stel II olarak adlandırılan iki mezar stelinin tipolojik, ikonografik, stilistik ve kronolojik açıdan değerlendirilmesi bu makalenin konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Ionia ve Delos atölyelerinin etkilerini barındıran ve üçgen alınlıklı olduğu düşünülen çerçeve formuna sahip steller, yan çerçevelere göre daha kalın/yüksek olan podyum kısmı ile dikkat çekmektedir. Hellenistik Dönem’de kamu veya mezar anıtlarında kullanılan heykellerin yerleştirildiği yüksek kaidelere öykünen bu form, stellerin sahne alanında kullanılan heykelimsi figürleri taşımak amacıyla tasarlanmıştır. Birbirinden bağımsız, yan yana ayakta duran aile üyelerinin karşıya/izleyicilere baktığı günlük yaşamdan bir kesiti içeren sahnede, Klasik ve Hellenistik dönemlerdeki ünlü yapıtların yüklendiği sembolizmi üstlenen ünlü figür tipleri tercih edilmiştir. Bunlar, Pudicitia Saufeia ve Sophokles/ Palliatus gibi tiplerin yanı sıra Demosthenes-Kos ve Pudicitia Saufeia-Kos tiplerinin karışımından oluşmaktadır. Kos heykeltıraşlığındaki yenilikçi motiflerin, Demosthenes ve Saufeia gibi ünlü tiplerle birleştirilmesi, heykeltıraşın özgün düşünce yapısından kaynaklanmaktadır. Eklektizmin hâkim olduğu figürlerin stilistik analizi, Stel I’in MÖ II. yüzyılın sonlarında; Stel II’nin ise MÖ I. yüzyıl başlarında yapıldığını düşündürmektedir. Figür şablonlarının farklı zaman dilimlerinde kullanılması, bunların Mylasa ve çevresinde süregelen bir geleneğin ürünü olduklarını göstermektedir. Stellerin barındırdığı etkilerin Mylasa’nın komşu kentlerinin yanı sıra Ionia, Delos, Kos gibi farklı atölyelerden olması, antikçağda bir kavşak noktası konumundaki kentin kozmopolit yapısından kaynaklanıyor olmalıdır.
Hadrianoupolis in Bir “Cam İşleme Merkezi” Olarak Yorumlanması
Authors: Çakmaklı Ömür Dünya
Published: June 2024

Paphlogonia Hadrianoupolis’inin özellikle MS III. yüzyıl ve sonrasında ticari, siyasi, kültürel ve dini açıdan perçinlenen önemi çok sayıda arkeolojik kanıt ve yazılı kaynak neticesinde bilimsel bir değişmez olarak kabul görmüştür. Buna paralel olarak, kentin konumunun, özellikle Anadolu ve Paphlogonia cam tarihi açısından da değerlendirilmesi gerekir. Bilindiği gibi, en azından Arkaik Dönem itibariyle Anadolu bir cam işleme merkezi olarak belgelenmiştir. Bölge için, bu dönem itibariyle cam üretimin kesintisiz olarak devam ettiği artık söylenebilmektedir. Cam çalışmalarındaki artış, Anadolu merkezli atölyelerin özellikle Geç Roma Dönem’inde zirveye ulaştığını göstermektedir. Kuşkusuz üretimi kanıtlayan en kesin deliller cam fırınlarıdır. Cam fırınlarının tespit edilemediği noktalarda ise külçe parçaları, pota, cam cürufları, hatalı üretimler ya da üretim artıkları gibi arkeolojik verilere başvurulmaktadır. Bu makalede, bahsi geçen kanıtların yakın dönem kazılarında belgelendiği Hadrianoupolis antik kentinin bir cam işleme merkezi olarak pozisyonu yorumlanacaktır. Geç Antikçağa işaret eden bu kanıtlar sadece Hadrianoupolis için değil aynı zamanda Paphlogonia bölgesi için de üretimi somutlayan ilk bulgulardır ve ayrıcalıklı önem taşırlar.
An Ongoing Tonal-Pattern Change: Lanzhou Dialect
Authors: Yi Li , Li Han , Li Yingyi , Mu Juejue
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT: The tonal-pattern of Lanzhou dialect is experiencing a change demonstrated in two aspects: a) Yin-ping 阴平(T1a) has two variants, falling and level, and the former is being replaced by the latter; b) Shangsheng 上声(T2) and Qu-sheng 去声(T3) are merging. We propose that the tonal change of T1a is partially a result of language contact, and the sandhi T1a from initial position of disyllabic combination also plays a role in extending the level tone to the citation T1a, the change of T1a then further triggers the merger of T2 and T3. Yet whether it is the change of sandhi T1a in the initial position or the change of the surface representation of citation T1a, or the merger of T2 and T3, all the directionality of tonal change is in line with the “clockwise tone shift circle” (Zhu et al. 2015; Yang and Xu 2019). We argue that tone changes are mainly due to internal factors. Although there are external stimuli, the path of tone change follows rules. The illustration of the ongoing tonal-pattern change in Lanzhou dialect will shed light on the understanding of the rules. 摘要: 兰州方言的声调变化表现在两个方面：阴平(T1a)有降调和平调两种 变体，并且平调正在取代降调；上声(T2)和去声(T3)有合并的趋势。 文章的主要观点认为 T1a 的声调变化是由语言接触引发的，普通话的 影响促使双字调中已经发生变调内化的 T1a 首字将平调扩散延展到单 字调 T1a 和双字调的尾字 T1a 上。T1a 的声调变化进一步引发了 T2 和 T3 的合并。在上述的三个变化中：双字调首字 T1a 的内在音系变化、 单字调 T1a 的后续变化、T2 和 T3 的合并，所有这些声调变化的方向 都符合“顺时针声调变化圈”(Zhu et al. 2015; Yang and Xu 2019)。我 们认为声调的变化方向主要由内在的自然因素决定的，虽然有时会有 外因的刺激诱发，但声调变化的路径是有规律可循的。对于正在变化 的兰州声调进行研究，会有助于对上述规律的理解。
Disruption of dopamine D2/D3 system function impairs the human ability to understand the mental states of other people

Published: June 2024

Difficulties in reasoning about others’ mental states (i.e., mentalising/Theory of Mind) are highly prevalent among disorders featuring dopamine dysfunctions (e.g., Parkinson’s disease) and significantly affect individuals’ quality of life. However, due to multiple confounding factors inherent to existing patient studies, currently little is known about whether these sociocognitive symptoms originate from aberrant dopamine signalling or from psychosocial changes unrelated to dopamine. The present study, therefore, investigated the role of dopamine in modulating mentalising in a sample of healthy volunteers. We used a double-blind, placebo-controlled procedure to test the effect of the D2/D3 antagonist haloperidol on mental state attribution, using an adaptation of the Heider and Simmel (1944) animations task. On 2 separate days, once after receiving 2.5 mg haloperidol and once after receiving placebo, 33 healthy adult participants viewed and labelled short videos of 2 triangles depicting mental state (involving mentalistic interaction wherein 1 triangle intends to cause or act upon a particular mental state in the other, e.g., surprising) and non-mental state (involving reciprocal interaction without the intention to cause/act upon the other triangle’s mental state, e.g., following) interactions. Using Bayesian mixed effects models, we observed that haloperidol decreased accuracy in labelling both mental and non-mental state animations. Our secondary analyses suggest that dopamine modulates inference from mental and non-mental state animations via independent mechanisms, pointing towards 2 putative pathways underlying the dopaminergic modulation of mental state attribution: action representation and a shared mechanism supporting mentalising and emotion recognition. We conclude that dopaminergic pathways impact Theory of Mind, at least indirectly. Our results have implications for the neurochemical basis of sociocognitive difficulties in patients with dopamine dysfunctions and generate new hypotheses about the specific dopamine-mediated mechanisms underlying social cognition.
A mechanical transition from tension to buckling underlies the jigsaw puzzle shape morphogenesis of histoblasts in the Drosophila epidermis

Published: June 2024

The polygonal shape of cells in proliferating epithelia is a result of the tensile forces of the cytoskeletal cortex and packing geometry set by the cell cycle. In the larval Drosophila epidermis, two cell populations, histoblasts and larval epithelial cells, compete for space as they grow on a limited body surface. They do so in the absence of cell divisions. We report a striking morphological transition of histoblasts during larval development, where they change from a tensed network configuration with straight cell outlines at the level of adherens junctions to a highly folded morphology. The apical surface of histoblasts shrinks while their growing adherens junctions fold, forming deep lobules. Volume increase of growing histoblasts is accommodated basally, compensating for the shrinking apical area. The folded geometry of apical junctions resembles elastic buckling, and we show that the imbalance between the shrinkage of the apical domain of histoblasts and the continuous growth of junctions triggers buckling. Our model is supported by laser dissections and optical tweezer experiments together with computer simulations. Our analysis pinpoints the ability of histoblasts to store mechanical energy to a much greater extent than most other epithelial cell types investigated so far, while retaining the ability to dissipate stress on the hours time scale. Finally, we propose a possible mechanism for size regulation of histoblast apical size through the lateral pressure of the epidermis, driven by the growth of cells on a limited surface. Buckling effectively compacts histoblasts at their apical plane and may serve to avoid physical harm to these adult epidermis precursors during larval life. Our work indicates that in growing nondividing cells, compressive forces, instead of tension, may drive cell morphology.
Canine preclinical safety evaluation of a multimodal nanoparticle agent (Nanotrast-CF800) for image-guided cancer surgery
Authors: Wan Jennifer , Sanchez Andrea , McKenna Charly , Nykamp Stephanie , Oblak Michelle L.
Published: June 2024

Surgical oncology often requires the use of contrast-enhanced cross-sectional imaging preoperatively to characterize solitary tumours and identify sentinel lymph nodes. Intraoperative optical guidance can effectively aid tissue-sparing tumour excision and locate sentinel lymph nodes. Nanotrast-CF800 (CF800) is a novel dual-modality contrast agent, which co-encapsulates iohexol and indocyanine green (ICG) within a liposomal nanoparticle. It was developed for preoperative and intraoperative imaging of solitary tumours and sentinel lymph node mapping and its efficacy has been demonstrated in preclinical animal models (Zheng et al. 2015). The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety profile of CF800 following intravenous administration in healthy dogs. Six research dogs were randomized into two groups. Group 1 received a low dose (1 mL/kg) and group 2 received a high dose (5 mL/kg). Dogs were placed under general anesthesia and a continuous rate infusion of CF800 was administered based on group allocation. Physiologic parameters including heart rate, respiratory rate, direct arterial blood pressure, cardiac output, and temperature were measured at set time points. Plasma concentrations of iohexol, ICG, and histamine were measured at set time points. Dogs underwent whole body computed tomography scans pre-injection, 2-, and 7-days post-injection (p.i.). Contrast enhancement was measured in select organ systems and great vessels at each time point. There were no significant changes in physiologic parameters following IV infusion of CF800 in all dogs. Plasma iohexol and ICG concentrations peaked at 1 day p.i., while histamine concentrations peaked at 30 minutes p.i. Significant contrast enhancement was noted within the liver, heart, aorta, and caudal vena cava on day 2 p.i., which was significantly different compared to baseline. Prolonged contrast retention within the liver was identified. Intravenous administration of CF800 was safe to use in healthy dogs with no significant systemic adverse effects.

Published: June 2024

Introduction

Stunting is still a major public health problem all over the world, it affecting more than one-third of under-five children in the world that leads to growth retardation, life-threatening complication and accelerate mortality and morbidity. The evidence is scarce on prevalence and associated factors of stunting among under-five children in Sub-Saharan Africa for incorporated intervention. Therefore this study aimed to investigate the prevalence and determinants of stunting among under-five children in Sub-Saharan Africa using recent demographic and health surveys of each country.

Methods

This study was based on the most recent Demographic and Health Survey data of 36 sub-Saharan African countries. A total of 203,852(weighted sample) under-five children were included in the analysis. The multi-level ordinal logistic regression was fitted to identify determinants of stunting. Parallel line (proportional odds) assumption was cheeked by Brant test and it is satisfied (p-value = 0.68) which is greater than 0.05. Due to the nested nature of the dataset deviance was used model comparison rather than AIC and BIC. Finally the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% CI was reported identify statistical significant determinants of stunting among under-five children.

Results

In this study, the prevalence of stunting among under-five children in Sub-Saharan Africa 34.04% (95% CI: 33.83%, 34.24%) with a large difference between specific countries which ranges from 16.14% in Gabon to 56.17% in Burundi. In the multi-level ordinal logistic regression good maternal education, born from mothers aged above 35 years, high household wealth status, small family size, being female child, being female household head, having media exposure and having consecutive ANC visit were significantly associated with lower odds of stunting. Whereas, living from rural residence, being 24–59 month children age, single or divorced marital status, higher birth order and having diarrhea in the last two weeks were significantly associated with higher odds of stunting.

Conclusion

Stunting among under-five children is still public health problem in Sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore designing interventions to address diarrhea and other infectious disease, improving the literacy level of the area and increase the economic level of the family to reduce the prevalence of stunting in the study area.
Economic impact of muscle injury rate and hamstring strain injuries in professional football clubs. Evidence from LaLiga
Authors: Nieto Torrejón Laura , Martínez-Serrano Antonio , Villalón José M. , Alcaraz Pedro E.
Published: June 2024

The aims of this study were: 1) to describe the total muscular injuries, and specifically HSIs, and their corresponding missed matches; 2) to analyse their economic impact; and 3) to estimate the loss of incomes due to TV rights, in first division clubs from LaLigaTM depending on the expected and actual ranking position during the 2018/2019 season. To do that, a cross-sectional study for season 18/19 and for all players of the 20 Spanish professional football clubs was performed. The economic impact of injuries was estimated considering the missed matches and salary cost of all players and the audio-visual income loss was estimated considering the Spanish Royal Decree of Law (RDL 5/2015). The high number of muscular (270) and hamstring injuries (57) implies a high cost for professional first division football clubs, specifically € 365,811 per month for the former and € 47,388 per month for the latter. In addition, reaching a worse than expected position in LaLigaTM ranking involved a loss of 45,2 million € in TV rights incomes. The high cost of muscle injuries in first division teams justifies the need for multidisciplinary teams that are capable of reducing the number of injuries as well as recovery times.

Authors: Ilaghi Mehran , Kafi Fatemeh , Shafiei Mohadeseh , Zangiabadian Moein , Nasiri Mohammad Javad
Published: June 2024

Background

There is a consistent association between exposure to air pollution and elevated rates of cardiopulmonary illnesses. As public health activities emphasize the paramount need to reduce exposure, it is crucial to examine strategies like the antioxidant diet that could potentially protect individuals who are unavoidably exposed.

Methods

A systematic search was performed in PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and ClinicalTrials.gov up to March 31, 2023, for clinical trials assessing dietary supplements against cardiovascular (blood pressure, heart rate, heart rate variability, brachial artery diameter, flow-mediated dilation, and lipid profile) or pulmonary outcomes (pulmonary function and airway inflammation) attributed to air pollution exposure.

Results

After reviewing 4681 records, 18 studies were included. There were contradictory findings on the effects of fish oil and olive oil supplementations on cardiovascular outcomes. Although with limited evidence, fish oil offered protection against pulmonary dysfunction induced by pollutants. Most studies on vitamin C did not find protective cardiovascular effects; however, the combination of vitamin C and E offered protective effects against pulmonary dysfunction but showed conflicting results for cardiovascular outcomes. Other supplements like sulforaphane, L-arginine, n-acetylcysteine, and B vitamins showed potential beneficial effects but need further research due to the limited number of existing trials.

Conclusions

Although more research is needed to determine the efficacy and optimal dose of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant dietary supplements against air pollution toxicity, this low-cost preventative strategy has the potential to offer protection against outcomes of air pollution exposure.
Factors influencing patients on antiretroviral therapy loss to follow up: A qualitative analysis of healthcare workers perspective
Authors: Kogi Robert , Krah Theresa , Asampong Emmanuel
Published: June 2024

Despite expanded and successful antiretroviral therapy program coverage, a large proportion of people drop out at different stages along their treatment course. As a result, treatment gains do not reach a large proportion of these groups. It has been demonstrated that around half of the patients who test Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive in Sub-Saharan Africa are lost between testing and being considered for eligibility for therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence patients on antiretroviral therapy who lost to follow up in HIV treatment clinics in Asunafo South District, Ahafo Region. We used phenomenological qualitative research approach in conducting this study. Purposive sampling was used to select respondents, while key informant interview was used to collect the data. The major identified challenges in carrying out follow-up visits of patients on antiretroviral therapy were wrong addresses and phone numbers of clients, coupled with poor telecommunication networks, geographical relocation of clients, poor documentation of patients’ information, and non-availability of means of transport. The preferred reengagement strategies identified in this study were: supply of drugs through home visits, intensive education, engaging the services of community-based surveillance officers, enhanced regular phone calls visits, adoption and use of an integrated antiretroviral therapy clinic, intensified education on HIV, and involvement of religious leaders. In conclusion, all clinicians and stakeholders should consider the identified challenges and reengagement strategies when providing antiretroviral services.
A planar neuromuscular controller to simulate compensation strategies in the sit-to-walk movement
Authors: van der Kruk Eline , Geijtenbeek Thomas
Published: June 2024

Standing up from a chair is a key daily life activity that is sensitive to functional limitations as we age and associated with falls, frailty, and institutional living. Predictive neuromusculoskeletal models can potentially shed light on the interconnectivity and interdependency of age-related changes in neuromuscular capacity, reinforcement schemes, sensory integration, and adaptation strategies during stand-up. Most stand-up movements transfer directly into walking (sit-to-walk). The aim of this study was to develop and validate a neuromusculoskeletal model with reflex-based muscle control that enables simulation of the sit-to-walk movement under various conditions (seat height, foot placement). We developed a planar sit-to-walk musculoskeletal model (11 degrees-of-freedom, 20 muscles) and neuromuscular controller, consisting of a two-phase stand-up controller and a reflex-based gait controller. The stand-up controller contains generic neural pathways of delayed proprioceptive feedback from muscle length, force, velocity, and upper-body orientation (vestibular feedback) and includes both monosynaptic an antagonistic feedback pathways. The control parameters where optimized using a shooting-based optimization method, based on a high-level optimization criterium. Simulations were compared to recorded kinematics, ground reaction forces, and muscle activation. The simulated kinematics resemble the measured kinematics and muscle activations. The adaptation strategies that resulted from alterations in seat height, are comparable to those observed in adults. The simulation framework and model are publicly available and allow to study age-related compensation strategies, including reduced muscular capacity, reduced neural capacity, external perturbations, and altered movement objectives.
The paradox of production: Surface water supply drives agricultural productivity but not prosperity in California’s San Joaquin Valley
Authors: Espinoza Vicky , Viers Joshua H.
Published: June 2024

Societies globally are struggling to meet freshwater demands while agencies attempt to address water access inequities under a rapidly changing climate and growing population. An understanding of dynamic interactions between people and water, known as sociohydrology, regionally could provide approaches to addressing local water mismanagement and water access inequity. In semi-arid California, local water agencies, primarily agricultural irrigation districts, are at the intersection of rethinking approaches to balance freshwater demands. More than 150 years of complex water governance and management have defined San Joaquin Valley irrigation districts and the region’s water access inequities and sociohydrologic instability. Older irrigation districts have higher surface water allocations and less groundwater dependence. About 60% of irrigation districts with pre-1914 water rights have twice the crop water demand in surface water allocations. In contrast, 86% of irrigation districts depend on groundwater, of which 12% rely exclusively on groundwater to supply irrigation demands. This study found that disadvantaged communities within irrigation districts do not have increased water access or better environmental conditions than those outside irrigation district boundaries, which underscores the need for inclusive water management structures to address the multifaceted water and environmental inequities. Groundwater overdependence across irrigation districts shows that imbalanced surface water allocations and inflexible crops could imperil agriculture and impact agricultural disadvantaged communities, especially under California’s SGMA and prolonged drought events. It is imperative that underserved communities are prioritized communities in achieving equitable water rebalance in California in addition to developing and implementing essential infrastructure and policy changes.

El ganador se lo lleva todo: ideología y responsabilidad en el discurso del éxito neoliberal
Authors: Godínez-Burgos Emmanuel
Published: June 2024

El presente artículo examina el problema de la responsabilidad en el discurso del éxito dentro del neoliberalismo. Para ello, se toma como objeto de análisis el discurso motivacional de Jordan Belfort. El análisis usa el concepto crítico de ideología propuesto por Thompson (2002), centrándose en la racionalización y la naturalización como estrategias de operación ideológica. Así, se evidencia el universo moral simplificado de ganadores y perdedores del neoliberalismo: un régimen en donde las circunstancias sociales no juegan ningún papel al momento de explicar el éxito y el fracaso del sujeto, reduciendo la desigualdad social a una cuestión de voluntad individual.
Discursos sobre a vida e a morte: o biopoder na política brasileira
Authors: Gonçalves da Costa Willian , Rohling Nívea
Published: June 2024

Este artigo analisa enunciados produzidos pelo chefe do executivo brasileiro durante a pandemia de COVID-19 sob a perspectiva das relações de poder, dispositivo, biopoder/biopolítica e soberania. Para tanto, o texto tem como base epistêmica as discussões de Michel Foucault no tocante aos conceitos de poder, biopolítica e dispositivo, bem como a Necropolítica, proposta por Achille Mbembe. A geração dos dados se deu por meio de operadores/motores de busca na internet nas mídias digitais brasileiras. A questão que norteou a análise foi: a soberania é reclamada nos enunciados proferidos pelo presidente brasileiro durante a pandemia? As inferências nas análises resultaram em manifestação de soberania como uma violação e transgressão da vida que desestabiliza a ideia de limite, liberdade e democracia.
Elementos populistas en la retórica de Pablo Iglesias: Un análisis de las estrategias discursivas de PODEMOS
Authors: Juncos Zori Alicia
Published: June 2024

Entre 2008 y 2015, la fallida estructura económica y social de España desencadena una crisis de representatividad tal que genera las condiciones óptimas para la emergencia de discursos renovados. En efecto, en pocos meses y sin un cuadro militante fuerte, la agrupación PODEMOS consigue, sorprendentemente, cinco escaños en las elecciones parlamentarias europeas de 2014. El presente estudio explora y analiza el emblemático discurso de Pablo Iglesias (secretario general de PODEMOS) en la “Marcha del cambio”, pronunciado el 29 de enero 2015 en la Puerta del Sol de Madrid como acto de cierre de campaña para las Elecciones Generales españolas- El marco teórico-metodológico desde el cual se lleva a cabo el estudio es el Análisis Crítico del Discurso (ACD), el cual se centra en hallar figuras de abuso de poder y desigualdad en el habla y los textos sociopolíticos. Asimismo, se emplea la teoría social populista (Laclau 2005) y el modelo propuesto por Patrick Charaudeau (2009b) en el que se enumeran características lingüísticas recurrentes en el discurso populista. Además, por medio del software informático AntConc se realizarán búsquedas de palabras sustantivas recurrentes, sus sinónimos y sus colocaciones con el fin recabar datos cuantitativos. Las herramientas metodológicas ayudarán a determinar si el líder de PODEMOS, Pablo Iglesias, se vale de la retórica populista para construir un sujeto popular y una identidad nacional del pueblo unido, transformando el capital cultural y vaciando los universos simbólicos de su carga significativa.
Antibiotic Resistance: Actions to accelerate global response
Authors: Muhunthan Hari
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of increasing patterns of antibiotic resistance on the global response to combat the spread of antibiotic resistance. The focus will be on global contributors to antibiotic resistance, the emergence of antibiotic resistance globally, previous efforts to combat antibiotic resistance, bright spots of where it has worked, and their effectiveness. Data will be collected from 4 databases: PUBMED, JSTOR, Gale, and ProQuest. After reviewing the titles and abstracts of the papers selected, relevant articles were retrieved for full-text review.

Today, resistance patterns in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria are difficult to treat and are possibly untreatable with today’s antibiotics. The overall main factors are the current shortage of effective treatments, lack of prevention measures, and new antibiotics, which require the creation of new and original treatment options and alternative antimicrobial therapies (Frieri et al., 2017). Some minor contributors of antibiotic resistance include demographic factors, the poor quality of available antibiotics, misuse, the ease of obtaining antibiotics. Self-medication and lack of regulation on medical imports are major factors in more developed countries. Antibiotic resistance was already widespread by the 1950s, but it spiked in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Previous efforts to combat antibiotic resistance efforts in the healthcare sector, yielded very little to no success. The policies of global organizations include major attempts to draw attention and the need for efforts to alleviate the problem. New and novel modern efforts to combat antibiotic resistance have, however, yielded results. In communities, cleaning your hands by using alcohol-based wipes or soap and water has proven effective in preventing infection, and this can stop the spread of antibiotic resistance. In hospitals, preventing infections has proven very effective. Clinicians can also play a role in combating antibiotic resistance, as they are in direct contact with patients, they can either spread or control infection and antibiotic resistance. Educating nurses and other clinicians about antibiotic resistance may help in control of spread of infections. Pharmacists can also provide patients with infections information about the ineffectiveness of antibacterials and can recommend appropriate over-the-counter medication for treatment (Uchil et al., 2014).

O presente trabalho busca relacionar essa característica do início de prova material com a sua posição na análise da coisa julgada, de forma a apresentar a sua caracterização como elemento da causa de pedir, por se tratar propriamente de um requisito concessório do benefício. Assim, a sua variação no comparativo entre as duas demandas, para a apreciação da ocorrência ou não de coisa julgada, causa a distinção entre causas de pedir e, consequentemente, a não identidade entre as ações. Para tanto, se apresenta essa análise a partir da natureza distinta do processo previdenciário e da forma em que o início de prova material é aduzido pela legislação na análise e concessão dos benefícios.
O Direito Internacional Privado e o seu papel na ética migratória na era dos direitos humanos
Authors: Rossi Leonardo Bortolozzo
Published: June 2024

A centenária disciplina do Direito Internacional Privado foi vista, na maior parte da sua existência, como mera ferramenta para aplicação da lei em caso de conflito de leis no espaço. Embora sua função precípua sempre tenha sido o gerenciamento de culturas via relacionamentos jusprivatistas, sua aplicação se dava de forma eticamente neutra e asséptica em relação a outros valores. Contudo, com o desenvolvimento do direito internacional dos direitos humanos, a disciplina passa por uma lenta abertura a novos valores, os quais alteram substancialmente seus clássicos institutos, como o próprio conflito de leis e a cooperação internacional. Portanto, o objetivo do presente trabalho é de justamente analisar como ocorre a ressignificação dos institutos clássicos da disciplina em um contexto de erosão da soberania e da jurisdição. Para tanto, utilizou-se do procedimento metodológico da revisão bibliográfica e documental de livros, artigos científicos, teses, dissertações e legislações, de procedência nacional e internacional, escritos em português, inglês e espanhol. Espera-se com a pesquisa demonstrar que com o adensamento da mobilidade humana transnacional nas últimas décadas, o Direito Internacional Privado ocupa papel do maior destaque em direção à criação de uma renovada ética migratória

Authors: Bernardi Renato , Silvestre Carolina
Published: June 2024

A Agenda de 2030 da Organização das Nações Unidas-ONU é um plano de ação global que tem como objetivo atingir em naquele ano um mundo melhor para os povos e as nações. O plano destaca a erradicação da extrema pobreza e redução das desigualdades como os principais desafios globais. O Benefício de Prestação Continuada é um importante instrumento de materialização do princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana, de justiça social, diminuição das desigualdades e de efetivação de direitos básicos. O presente artigo apresenta um dos principais desafios deste programa de distribuição de renda, qual seja, a identificação adequada e o alcance daqueles que se enquadram como potenciais beneficiários. A pesquisa tem como objetivo localizar e tornar visíveis os indivíduos vulneráveis que preenchem os requisitos do Benefício de Prestação Continuada, permitindo o acesso ao benefício, a fim de reduzir a desigualdade social em atendimento ao Objetivo de Desenvolvimento Sustentável nº 10 da Agenda 2030 da Organização das Nações Unidas – Redução das Desigualdades. Para tanto, apresenta a proposta de criação de uma política pública capaz de alcançar os indivíduos que se enquadram nos critérios de elegibilidade e, consequentemente, minimizar erros de exclusão do benefício assistencial, por meio da realização de uma busca ativa a ser desempenhada em uma ação de verdadeiro Censo Assistencial Municipal. A pesquisa foi elaborada por meio do método hipotético-dedutivo com revisão de literatura, análise legislativa e doutrinária específicas sobre o tema.

Authors: Costa Edgard Gonçalves da
Published: June 2024

A Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (LGPD) é considerada uma lei guarda-chuva, visto ser uma norma que apenas propõe-se a apresentar regramentos gerais relacionados à proteção de dados pessoais. Este normativo previu que autoridade específica encarregar-se-ia de elaborar as diretrizes de proteção e privacidade correspondentes a dados pessoais, com a incumbência, ainda, de elaborar regulamentos, fiscalizar o cumprimento da lei e aplicar penalidades, inclusive de caráter pecuniário. Assim, foi criada a Agência Nacional de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (ANPD). O Art. 31, § 5º, da Lei de Acesso à Informação (LAI) previu que legislação própria disporia sobre os procedimentos para tratamento de informação pessoal, tendo sido editada a Lei nº 13.709, de 14 de agosto de 2018, Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (LGPD). A LGPD segue os movimentos internacionais relacionados ao tema, notadamente, a General Data Protection Regulation (GPDR) europeia. Estabeleceu-se como pergunta de pesquisa saber: qual o entendimento atual da ANPD quanto às hipóteses legais relacionadas ao tratamento de dados de crianças e adolescentes? O objetivo geral é analisar a questão da proteção de dados pessoais relacionados a crianças e a adolescentes. Foram definidos como objetivos específicos: a) analisar a divergência doutrinária referente ao tratamento de dados de crianças e adolescentes; b) analisar o ENUNCIADO CD/ANPD Nº 1, de 22 de maio de 2023. O enunciado, em vigor desde a sua publicação, ocorrido em 24 de maio de 2023, apresenta as hipóteses legais atinentes ao tratamento de dados de crianças e adolescentes, definindo que para estes titulares aplicam-se as previsões constantes no Art. 7º ou no Art. 11 da LGPD, nos termos do Art. 14, da Lei. Portanto, a ANPD não define como regra única o consentimento para o tratamento de dados de crianças e adolescentes, afastando-se a divergência quanto a esta questão.
Synthesis and characterization of multifunctional polymer additives for lubricating oils based on 2-ethylhexyl acrylate and N-isopropylmethacrylamide
Authors: Qasem Siwan Ghofran , Hadi Mohammed Ameen
Published: June 2024

The long-chain acrylate monomer, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA), was obtained by esterification of acrylic acid with 2-ethylhexanol, and the copolymer by free radical polymerization with N-isopropylmethacrylamide (PMA) in various proportions using azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator in a benzene solvent. High conversion polymers were obtained: polyEHM, polyPMA, 3EHM/1PMA, 1EHM/1PMA and 1EHM/3PMA, which were named P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5, respectively. The chemical structure was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR). The percentage of nitrogen was used to determine the reactivity coefficient of EHA-co-PMA using the Kelin-Todosa method, rEHA = 1.14 and rPMA = 0.321. Based on the reactivity and solubility coefficients in the virgin SN 500 base oil, the performance of polymers, except P2, as additives to lubricating oils was assessed. Polymers with a high content of hydrophobic EHA monomer (P1 and P3) showed good performance as viscosity increasing and freezing point lowering agents, while P4 had the best anti-corrosion properties.

Effect of kaolinite modified with Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) salts as a partial replacement for carbon black (1 and 8 phr) on the properties of the model tread rubber blend was examined. The blends were prepared in a two-stage process in a Brabender mixer at temperatures of 120°C and 100°C, respectively, with a constant mixing speed of 50 rpm. FT-IR confirmed the formation of copper hydroxyacetate monohydrate complex, which may indicate chemical interactions between rubber components and modified kaolinite. The filler improved technological parameters, tensile properties and hardness. Resistance to thermal aging has also increased.

Increasingly severe global warming encourages society to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A crucial element of this approach involves embracing Green Building concepts, ensuring each construction phase adheres to environmentally responsible practices. One of the aspects is Appropriate Site Development (ASD), requiring consideration of green-oriented factors such as site selection criteria, community accessibility, public transportation, bicycle facilities, macroclimate, and rain-runoff water management. A case study at the Faculty of Engineering, State University of Jakarta, identified deficiencies like the absence of bicycle parking, insufficient public toilet facilities, and distant bus stops. This study analyzes ASD green building criteria and identifies applicable land use standards at the Faculty of Engineering, UNJ. The research entails two stages, such as a literature review and a rating system based on Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI). The results showed significant progress from the Faculty of Engineering UNJ, by obtaining 11 points out of a maximum 16 points in the ASD aspect. This case only implemented 2 indicators, namely Heat Island Effect and Storm Water Management. This analysis focused exclusively on ASD criteria without pursuing GBCI certification.

Published: June 2024

Mangrove forests in Surabaya's estuaries and coastal areas are designated by the government as protected areas. However, in the last decade, water pollution in the estuary and coastal areas of Surabaya has increased. This is due to rivers and tributaries that lead to the estuary carrying garbage and waste, as a result the waters in the mangrove area began to be polluted. The purpose of this study was to map water pollution in the Mangrove area, using the plankton diversity index. This diversity is based on the sensitivity of plankton, so it is used as a bioindicator of water pollution. This study, conducted in the estuary and along the East Coast of Surabaya. The results showed 70% of phytoplankton abundance in Wonorejo Mangrove is influenced by the value of COD, TSS, salinity, and phosphate. The estuary and coastal Mangrove Gunung Anyar 92% is influenced by the parameter values of temperature, COD, current strength, and salinity. Bacillariophyceae and Coscinodiscophyceae were the dominant phytoplankton in the Wonorejo and Gunung Anyar mangrove areas, respectively. The dominance of these two plankton, which were able to survive, indicates that the water quality in the Wonorejo and Gunung Anyar estuaries is polluted.

This study used red mud as an adsorbent for biogas purification. However, red mud had to undergo dealumination and calcination processes before being used as an adsorbent. Several acids, including 1 M HCl and 1M H2SO4, were employed in the red mud dealumination process, which was then analysed by XRF and GSA instruments. The results show that the best type of acid for the dealumination process was HCl with a Si/Al ratio, total pore volume, surface area and pore radius of 1.697; 67,081 m2/g; 0.1624 cm3/g; 48.4242 Å. The biogas purification process was carried out using red mud adsorbent dealuminated with HCl by varying the length of the adsorbent column, such as 10, 20 and 30 cm, and the contact time of 5, 10, 15 and 20 min. The optimum column length variation was 30 cm. The results obtained for this variation were a decrease in CO2 content of 292742.30 ppm with an efficiency of 19.08%. The increase in CH4 was 378232.69 ppm with a percentage increase of 240.28%.
