Published: August 2024

In the fields of polymer and material chemistries, strong acid units have mainly included sulfonic acids, which has limited the extension of related material chemistries. Here, a unique carbon acid functionality, namely the bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]methyl group, was integrated with polymers via a simple postpolymerization modification with the outstandingly electrophilic 1,1-bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]ethylene. The proposed synthesis protocol was verified as an efficient process even for solid-state reactions. The synthesis afforded an organic material with a surface decorated with bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]methyl units. The fabricated membranes featuring surface bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]methyl units functioned as efficient organocatalysts with high catalytic activity for the Mukaiyama aldol reaction. This study provides a simple method for installing superacidic carbon acid moieties onto the surfaces of materials without tedious chemical treatments.
Combined Photopolymerization and Localized Photochromism Generation by Aza-Diarylethene and Hemiindigo Synergy
Authors: Sacherer Maximilian , Dube Henry
Published: August 2024

Molecular photoswitches produce light-controlled changes at the nanometer scale and can therefore be used to alter states and behavior of materials in a truly bottom-up fashion. Here we show an escalating photonic complexity of material property control with light using a recently developed aza-diarylethene in combination with hemiindigo (HI) photoswitches. First, the aza-diarylethene can be used as a photoswitch in polystyrene (PS) and to inscribe relief-type 3D structures reversibly into PS. Second, aza- diarylethene can further be used as a photoinitiator for light-induced polymerization of acrylates, demonstrating for the first time light-controlled chemical reactivity control with its zwitterionic switching state. Third, aza-diarylethene and HIs are implemented into aza-diarylethene polymerized PMA, generating photochromic polymers. At the fourth level, the binary mixture allows to synergize aza-diarylethene induced photopolymerization with localized photochromism changes of the simultaneously entrapped functional HI. With such multi-level light response, the utility of this particular photoswitch combination for applications in advanced photonic materials is demonstrated.

Predicting organic reaction feasibility and robustness against environmental factors is challenging. We address this issue by integrating high throughput experimentation (HTE) and Bayesian deep learning. Diverging from existing HTE studies focused on niche chemical spaces, in this work, our in-house HTE platform conducted 11,669 distinct acid amine coupling reactions in 156 working hours, yielding the most extensive single HTE dataset at a volumetric scale for industrial delivery. Our Bayesian neural network model achieved a new benchmark for prediction accuracy of 89.48% for reaction feasibility. Furthermore, our fine-grained uncertainty disentanglement enables efficient active learning, reducing 80% of data requirements. Our uncertainty analysis effectively identifies out-of-domain reactions and evaluates reaction robustness for scaling up, offering a practical framework for navigating chemical spaces and designing highly robust industrial processes.
Non-Equilibrium Rate Theory for Polariton Relaxation Dynamics
Authors: Lai Yifan , Ying Wenxiang , Huo Pengfei
Published: August 2024

We derive an analytic expression of the non-equilibrium Fermi's golden rule (NE-FGR) expression for a Holstein-Tavis-Cumming Hamiltonian, a universal model for many molecules collectively coupled to the optical cavity. These NE-FGR expressions capture the full-time-dependent behavior of the rate constant for transitions from polariton states to dark states. The rate is shown to be reduced to the well-known frequency domain-based equilibrium Fermi's golden rule (E-FGR) expression in the equilibrium and collective limit and is shown to retain the same scaling with the number of sites in non-equilibrium and non-collective cases. We use these NE-FGR to perform population dynamics with a time-non-local and time-local quantum master equation and obtain accurate population dynamics from the initially occupied upper or lower polariton states. Further, NE-FGR significantly improves the accuracy of the population dynamics when starting from the lower polariton compared to the E-FGR theory, highlighting the importance of the non-Markovian behavior and the short-time transient behavior in the transition rate constant.

Published: August 2024

Flash Joule heating has been used as a versatile solid-state synthesis method in the production of a wide range of products, including organic, inorganic, and ceramic products. Conventional flash Joule heating systems are large and customized, presenting significant barriers in the cost of assembly, the expertise needed to operate, and attaining uniformity of results between different systems. Even laboratory-scale flash Joule heating systems struggle to operate above 10-gram capacity, and they suffer poor temperature controllability. We present here the use of commercial off-the-shelf arc welders as a superior alternative to standard flash Joule heating systems due to their low cost ($120), ease of use, compact size, high temperature controllability, and tunability. We demonstrate gram-scale synthesis of a variety of organic and ceramic species using these systems. With the addition of a new reactor configuration for only $260, we scale up synthesis of these products to record rates for laboratory scale, achieving a production rate of 3 kg/h for graphene, and kg/day production rates for SiC, carbon nanotubes, SnSe2, and SnS¬2.

Published: August 2024

The calculation of absolute binding free energies (ABFEs) for protein-ligand systems has long been a challenge. Recently, refined force fields and algorithms have improved the quality of ABFE calculations. However, achieving the level of accuracy required to inform drug discovery efforts remains difficult. Here, we present a transferable enhanced sampling strategy to accurately calculate absolute binding free energies using OneOPES with simple geometric collective variables. We tested the strategy on two protein targets, BRD4 and Hsp90, complexed with a total of 17 chemically diverse ligands, including both molecular fragments and drug-like molecules. Our results show that OneOPES accurately predicts protein–ligand binding affinities with a mean unsigned error within 1 kcal mol-1 of experimentally determined free energies, without the need to tailor the collective variables to each system. Furthermore, our strategy effectively samples different ligand binding modes, and consistently matches the experimentally determined structures regardless of the initial protein-ligand configuration. Our results suggest that the proposed OneOPES strategy can be used to inform lead optimization campaigns in drug discovery and to study protein-ligand binding and unbinding mechanisms.

Detecting signal transtition in dynamic sign language using R-GB LSTM Method
Authors: Ridwang Ridwang , Adriani Adriani , Rahmania Rahmania , Sahrim Mus’ab , Syahyadi Asep Indra , Setiaji Haris
Published: August 2024

The proposed research uses human-computer interaction applications using dynamic signal language. Researchers have made significant progress in developing sign language recognition (SLR) approaches, both static and dynamic. However, the existing systems are superior at recognizing static sign movement, leaving much room for improvement when it comes to continuous sign language interpretation, mainly because of the presence of interlinked signals. In this study, we introduced a new approach that uses a R-GB LSTM model to identify transition signals and delete them in the memory of the system at the time of the training process. Our method relies on breaking the continuous sign indication into separate words and then modeling its words using neural tissue. The remarkable advantage of this approach is that it avoids the need to consider different word combinations during the training process. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we conducted an experiment using 20 words in Indonesian sign language (ISL). Twenty representative words were selected for modeling using our LSTM modification technique. The results are promising, with an average accuracy of 80 percent for sign sentences and a more impressive 85 percent accurate rate for sign words. As we look forward, further research paths may explore additional R-GB LSTM modification methods or models to detect and reduce more nuanced interference during training. Our study represents a significant step forward in advancing the accuracy and practicality of sustainable sign language recognition systems, promising better communication and accessibility for deaf and hard-hearing communities.
Moda unissex na Pop, primeira revista jovem do Brasil (anos 1970)
Authors: França Maureen Schaefer , Santos Marinês Ribeiro dos
Published: August 2024

A Pop, primeira revista destinada às garotas e aos garotos do Brasil, circulou entre 1972 e 1979 pela editora Abril, abordando a moda do período entre outros assuntos. A revista, veiculada em plena ditadura militar, dialogou com transformações comportamentais daqueles anos impulsionadas, em parte, pelos movimentos hippie, gay e feminista. Compreendemos que a moda não é uma prática neutra e apolítica, mas atravessada por visões de mundo, interesses e regulações, podendo reiterar ou não desigualdades sociais. Sendo assim, o objetivo do texto é entender como a moda unissex, que circulou na Pop, materializou transformações culturais do período, questionando e/ou reforçando normas de gênero. Para isso, nós analisamos a jardineira, peça unissex de maior destaque na revista, nos apoiando em Estudos de Gênero e Estudos Culturais e na História do Brasil, da Mídia e da Moda. A partir das análises, verificamos se as peças de moda realmente funcionaram de modo unissex, enquadrando ou não maneiras distintas de vesti-las quando conectadas a corpos ditos femininos e masculinos. Ademais, também avaliamos se as produções mantiveram ou não referências de feminilidades e de masculinidades, causando ou não ambiguidades de gênero.

Authors:   AL-FARABI KAZAKH NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, Mishchenko Inna , Krayushkin Maxim , Mezhov Stepan , Bianchi Isaias
Published: August 2024

In this study, models of artificial neural networks of migration balances are developed in order to improve the efficiency of management of socio-economic development of single-industry towns in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Now there are no universal tools for forecasting indicators of socioeconomic development in general and characterising migration processes in particular. However, the volume of budget allocations to address human resources issues in single-industry towns, the creation of social facilities and the implementation of other activities that are significant for economic, social and infrastructural development, the direction of development of single-industry towns depend on the forecast of migration balance. In addition, the forecast of migration balance is important for identifying core areas and their subsequent priority development. In this article, a substantial analysis of researchers’ works is carried out, and it is determined that artificial intelligence models, in particular, the most adaptive neural networks are not used in forecasting the migration balance. The purpose of this study is to develop models of artificial neural networks of migration balance to improve the efficiency of management of socio-economic development of single-industry towns in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The result of the research is a methodological approach and a toolkit for forecasting the migration balance for single-industry towns in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The developed approach to forecasting and the toolkit are universal in the field of forecasting socio-economic indicators. In addition, the results described in the article can be used in other studies in the field of forecasting and planning. In particular, the developed toolkit can be used to assess the effectiveness of management decisions, for example, in the implementation of evidence-based policy for the development of single-industry towns.
Assessing the Relationship of Psychological Sport Readiness, Single-leg Vertical Jump, and Non-Sagittal Single-Leg Hops to Quadriceps Strength After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Authors: Kuwik Paul , Florkiewicz Erin , Benedict Timothy , Mason John , Morris Jamie , Crowell Michael
Published: August 2024

Background

Limitations exist with current ACLR functional testing assessments that may be mitigated by including single-leg multi-directional testing.

Hypothesis/Purpose

To compare Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Return to Sport after Injury Scale (ACL-RSI) scores, limb symmetry index (LSI) of the single-leg vertical jump (SLVJ), single-leg medial rotation hop (SLMRH), single-leg lateral hop (SLLH), and isokinetic quadriceps strength between participants with an ACLR and healthy controls and assess predictors of quadriceps strength asymmetry. It was hypothesized that ACL-RSI scores and LSIs for all tests would differ between ACLR and healthy control groups and within the ACLR group a strong correlation would exist between all outcome measures and quadriceps strength.

Study Design

Cross-Sectional Study

Methods

Twenty-six participants with an ACLR (median 13 months after surgery) and twenty-six matched healthy controls were recruited to participate in this study. Performance was assessed via SLVJ, SLMRH, SLLH, and isokinetic quadriceps strength. Between-group comparisons were made with independent t-tests and Mann-Whitney U test. Within the ACLR group, bivariate correlation and multivariate regression analysis were performed to assess the relationship between the outcome measures and quadriceps strength asymmetry.

Results

Significant between-limb differences were only identified in the ACLR group (p< 0.05): SLVJ LSI: 88.5%, SLMRH LSI: 93.6%, SLLH LSI: 92.7%, quadriceps strength LSI 80.9% - 83.9%, which were significantly lower (p <0.05) than the healthy control group. Within the ACLR group, a moderate-strong significant (p < 0.05) correlations existed with quadriceps strength and SLVJ (r=0.44-0.65), SLMRH (r =0.43-0.83), and SLLH (r=0.54-0.63); while ACL-RSI had a weak non-significant (p > 0.05) correlation with quadriceps strength (r= 0.12-0.30).

Conclusion

Single-leg multidirectional test LSIs were less in ACLR participants than matched healthy controls and all were directly related to quadriceps strength. Psychological readiness to return to sport was not related to quadriceps strength.

Authors: Di Paolo Stefano , Ito Naoaki , Seymore Kayla D. , Sigurðsson Haraldur B. , Bragonzoni Laura , Zaffagnini Stefano , Snyder-Mackler Lynn , Gravare Silbernagel Karin
Published: August 2024

Background

Landing with poor knee sagittal plane biomechanics has been identified as a risk factor for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury. However, it is unclear if the horizontal hop test battery reflects knee function and biomechanics.

Hypothesis/Purpose

To investigate the correlation between clinical limb symmetry index (LSI) and landing and propulsion knee biomechanics during the hop test battery using markerless motion capture.

Study Design

Cross-sectional biomechanics laboratory study

Methods

Forty-two participants with and without knee surgery (age 28.0 ± 8.0 years) performed the hop test battery which consisted of a single hop for distance, crossover hop, triple hop, and 6-m timed hop in the order listed. Eight high speed cameras were used to collect simultaneous 3D motion data and Theia 3D (Theia Markerless Inc.) was used to generate 3D body model files. Lower limb joint kinematics were calculated in Visual3D. Correlation (Spearman’s ρ) was computed between clinical LSI and symmetry in peak and initial contact (IC) knee flexion angle during propulsion and landing phases of each movement.

Results

In the single hop, clinical LSI showed positive correlation with kinematic LSI at peak landing (ρ= 0.39, p=0.011), but no correlation at peak propulsion (ρ= -0.03, p=0.851). In the crossover hop, non-significant correlations were found in both propulsion and landing. In the triple hop, positive correlation was found at peak propulsion (ρ= 0.38, p=0.027), peak landing (ρ= 0.48 – 0.66, p<0.001), and last landing IC (ρ= 0.45, p=0.009). In the timed hop, peak propulsion showed positive correlation (ρ= 0.51, p=0.003).

Conclusions

Single hop and triple hop distance symmetry reflected landing biomechanical symmetry better than propulsion symmetry. Poor scores on the hop test battery reflect asymmetrical knee landing biomechanics, emphasizing the importance of continuing to use the hop test battery as part of clinical decision making.

Wild Man as an Androgynous and Psychedelic Image in Contemporary Performative Art
Authors: Ateşli Murat , Cengiz Burcu Nur
Published: August 2024

Wild Man is a kind of archetype and a wild symbolic figure arising from the unbreakable bond of art with society and belief systems, and continues to appear both in cultural festivals and in the field of art with changing images and costumes in various societies and different cultures from past to present. Assuming the role of shaman or pagan, Wild Man’s costumes and symbolic language are shaped by the natural structure of organic materials, expressing the figure’s transitive relationship with nature and the supernatural. This expression is reflected in Wild Man’s image and performative identity, giving it a psychedelic, androgynous characteristic. The present research examines the costume and performance works of avant-garde and contemporary artists such as Joseph Beuys, Fern Shaffer, Ana Mendieta, Cassils, Asher Woodworth, Nick Cave, Saya Woolfalk, and various artist collectives, which take on the image of Wild Man or evoke it, within the scope of their psychedelic qualities that become ambiguous, androgynous and provide transitions between the senses. Revitalizing cultural and artistic ties, Wild Man with its contradictory and psychic aspect, continues to inspire contemporary artists.

Salinity is one of the most common abiotic stresses in the world. It negatively affects the growth and development of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench). It significantly reduces germination and seedling growth parameters. The present study was carried out to evaluate the impact of four salinity levels (0, 100, 200, and 300 mM) on the germination and seedling growth parameters of four sweet sorghum genotypes (Erdurmus, Uzun, Srg 156, and BSS 424) and on their ion content (Na, K, Ca, and Mg). The results indicate that under nonsaline conditions, the germination percentage (GP) of all genotypes was 100%, and Erdurmus was identified as the earliest germinating genotype. The BSS 424 genotype showed a significant reduction in germination index (GI), ranging from 8.33% at 100 mM to 0.89% at 300 mM, while Erdurmus and Srg 156 showed the lowest decreases, with mean values of 15.801 and 13.901, respectively. The highest root fresh weight (RFW) value was observed in the control for all the genotypes, while Erdurmus showed the lowest decrease. Moreover, the highest decrease in Mg (0.24%) and Ca (0.17%) content was observed in Uzun, and the lowest K content was identified in BSS 424 (0.5%), whereas the highest Na content was also determined in Uzun (3.12%). Considering all the results, salt stress above 200 mM significantly affected the germination and seedling growth parameters. Therefore, lower concentrations should be taken into consideration for sustainable sorghum production.

Published: August 2024

Resumo: As tecnologias digitais atreladas à educação básica e à formação de professores e professoras carregam inúmeros debates demandados por pesquisas, pesquisadores teóricos e políticas em educação.  Este trabalho, metodologicamente com análise de revisão de literatura, tem como objetivo contribuir de forma reflexiva sobre o uso das tecnologias digitais na educação básica evidenciando os desafios dos professores em face do uso destas no trabalho docente. Apesar das tecnologias digitais serem populares, elas são motivos de desafios para uso no sentido de recursos didático-pedagógicos em muitos ambientes escolares.  O uso das TDCIs em sala de aula pode contribuir para emergir uma nova visão do sentido de ensinar e aprender. Para tanto, a isto, demanda formação aos professores, condições de trabalho e recursos tecnológicos acessíveis, de modo a implementar o trabalho pedagógico e contribuir significativamente para a formação dos educandos.

Authors: Fernando Uliana Barboza Eduardo
Published: August 2024

A partir da revisão teórica de autores que estudam a utilização de estratégias de jogos no processo de ensino-aprendizagem o objetivo deste artigo é apresentar e discutir a gamificação e os jogos sérios como ferramentas educacionais integradoras, exibindo exemplos práticos. A utilização de games educacionais como método pedagógico e instrumento de aprendizagem é uma tendência nas escolas, universidades e centros de formação técnica, profissional e educacional em todo o mundo. Para Pinho (2018), a utilização de técnicas de gamificação nos processos educacionais enquanto metodologia pode contribuir para uma aprendizagem integradora e centrada no aluno. Contudo, para desenvolver novos formatos, experiências e narrativas instrucionais, antes de mais nada é necessário incorporar tecnologias e ferramentas de informação e comunicação que surgem todos os dias aos processos de comunicação, informação, ensino e aprendizagem, desenvolvendo e aprimorando metodologias.

Published: August 2024

Dormancy is one of the obstacles in cultivating zalacca plants which have hard skin and seeds making them difficult to grow. Soaking using growth hormones is an alternative for growing seeds well. This research aims to determine the concentration of Gibberellin and determine the appropriate length of soaking time for Gibberellin (GA3) in germinating zalacca seeds. The research was carried out at the Seed Science and Technology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Tadulako University, Palu in January - February 2023 using a Completely Randomized Design with a factorial pattern. The first factor is the Gibberellin’s concentration which consists of 40, 60, and 80 ppm. The second factor was the length of Gibberellin’s soaking time which consists of 15, 55, and 95 minutes so that 9 treatment combinations were obtained which were repeated three times to obtain 27 experimental units. Each experiment used 20 seeds, therefore 540 zalacca seeds were needed, with 5 samples per experimental unit. The results show that gibberellin concentrations of 60 ppm and 80 ppm and soaking times of 55 and 95 minutes were treatments that provided good growth in germination capacity, germination time, plumule length, radicle length and dry weight of zalacca seed sprouts
