Authors: Sorendino Gabriele , Carioletti Giovana Hartmann , da Costa Pâmela Aparecida , Henneberg Railson
Published: March 2021

Introdução: A fração de plaquetas imaturas (IPF) é um parâmetro ainda pouco explorado na rotina clínica e sua determinação laboratorial através de citometria de fluxo tem sido pesquisado como um marcador de função medular. As plaquetas reticuladas (PR) representam plaquetas jovens recentemente liberadas pela medula óssea, e são caracterizadas pelo alto conteúdo de ácido ribonucleico (RNA) em seu citoplasma. Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi pesquisar a utilidade diagnóstica das PRs através do parâmetro IPF (fração de plaquetas imaturas) na rotina médica e suas limitações, além das perspectivas futuras para seu uso. Material e métodos: Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica em bases de dados confiáveis, Medline, PubMed (US. National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, USA), SciELO Brazil (Scientific Eletronic Library Online) e BIREME (Biblioteca Regional de Medicina, Centro Latino-Americano e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde) utilizando os descritores “Platelet índices”, “Immature platelet fraction” e “Reticulated platelets”. Resultados: As plaquetas reticuladas são um importante indicador da etiologia da trombocitopenia em diversos quadros clínicos, diferenciando os casos de consumo periférico plaquetário de uma falha na produção na medula óssea. As plaquetas imaturas permanecem na circulação por 24 a 36 horas, quando progressivamente têm seu RNA degradado e seu volume diminuído passando ao estado da plaqueta madura. Portanto, assim como os reticulócitos para os eritrócitos, a quantificação de plaquetas imaturas é capaz de trazer informações precoces em relação a produção de plaquetas na medula óssea. Além disto, alguns estudos apontam que o IPF pode ser útil no diagnóstico precoce de sepse bem como no acompanhamento de pacientes transplantados. Conclusão: Através desta revisão bibliográfica, conclui-se que a fração de plaquetas imaturas é um promissor parâmetro laboratorial para identificar a etiologia da trombocitopenia (consumo periférico ou falha medular). Embora novos estudos precisam aprofundar o conhecimento e a segurança do uso do IPF, este parâmetro mostra-se útil para o auxílio diagnostico e acompanhamento terapêutico de uma série de patologias associadas à trombocitopenia, como púrpura trombocitopênica, acompanhamento de pacientes transplantados e em pacientes com risco de sepse.
COMPARAÇÃO DA FERMENTAÇÃO SEMI-SÓLIDA EM CASCA DE CACAU PARA PRODUÇÃO DE CELULASES EM DIFERENTES ESCALAS DE PROCESSOS
Authors: Pires Giselle Barreto , Vasconcelos Patrícia Garcia , Pinheiro Iara Rebouças
Published: March 2021

Introdução: As celulases são enzimas capazes de hidrolisar a biomassa lignocelulósica para obtenção de açúcares fermentescíveis, que são utilizados na geração de biocombustíveis. Uma técnica para produção dessas enzimas é a fermentação em estado sólido (FES) utilizando-se fungos e resíduos agroindustriais, como a casca de cacau (CC). A FES sofre influência de diversos parâmetros, como quantidade de substrato, aeração e umidade, os quais devem ser estudados para ampliação do processo para escala industrial. Objetivo: Verificar a influência da umidade, da proporção do substrato e da aeração sob a produção de celulases, utilizando casca de cacau e fungo Trichoderma reesei. Material e métodos: Os biorreatores de leito fixo permaneceram em banho termostático por 5 dias, sob aeração e temperatura constantes. E os frascos foram incubados em estufa a 30°C por 5 dias. As amostras, coletadas a cada 24 horas, seguiram para as etapas de análise de umidade, extração de enzimas e análise de atividade enzimática FPase em espectrofotômetro a 540nm. Resultados: Nos experimentos conduzidos sob aeração forçada, colunas de leito fixo, a maior atividade enzimática 3,000 U/gms foi obtida após 48 horas, 62,92% CC e 72,92% de umidade. Em comparação com os Erlenmeyers, nas mesmas condições foram obtidos 2,050 U/gms, evidenciando que o a aeração forçada ao longo da FES proporcionou maior produtividade. Além disso, observou-se em ambos os cultivos, a presença de água livre para as condições de 87,08% de umidade, devido à capacidade de saturação da matriz sólida. Mas nos frascos, quando esse teor de umidade foi combinado à 62,92% CC, atingiu-se a atividade enzimática máxima de 7,9211 U/gms. Conclusão: Nas mesmas proporções, a aeração forçada obteve melhores resultados que a aeração natural, mas a maior atividade enzimática foi obtida em condições diferentes para os frascos, evidenciando a importância da umidade e proporção de substrato na produção de celulases.

Published: March 2021

Introdução: Spodoptera frugiperda é uma praga que ocasiona perdas significativas na produção do algodão, pois atacam as estruturas reprodutivas como botões florais e maçãs, elevando os custos de produção com o uso excessivo de inseticidas, geralmente não seletivos aos inimigos naturais, que favorecem a seleção de populações resistentes. Para minimizar o impacto destas pulverizações, faz-se necessário a busca de tecnologias sustentáveis, com ênfase para os feromônios sexuais, conceituados como substâncias voláteis que promovem a comunicação entre os insetos, que podem ser utilizados no monitoramento e controle de pragas. Objetivo: Avaliar a eficiência de formulações do feromônio sexual de S. frugiperda no algodão. Material e métodos: O delineamento utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, com 5 tratamentos e 5 repetições, sendo testadas três formulações do feromônio de S. frugiperda – F1, F2 e F3, como controle foram utilizados o solvente hexano e fêmeas virgens. Foram utilizadas armadilhas tipo Delta de cor branca, com septo de borracha impregnado com diferentes composições. Os tapetes adesivos das armadilhas foram trocados semanalmente. As armadilhas foram instaladas no período reprodutivo do algodão (safra 2019/2020) em Tangará da Serra - MT. Os dados foram submetidos à Análises de Desvio e ao Modelo Linear Generalizado (GLM). Resultados: Foram coletados 3.666 indivíduos, sendo 96,93% machos e 3,06% fêmeas. As formulações não diferiram entre si, mas diferiram das fêmeas e do hexano pelo GLM (p<0,05). Houve variação na abundância de indivíduos entre os tratamentos, as fêmeas coletaram 1.420 (38,79%), seguida pelas Formulações 3, 2 e 1 que acumularam 755 (20,62%), 690 (18,52%) e 647 (17,67%) respectivamente. O hexano coletou apenas 0,98%. Conclusão: As formulações avaliadas são promissoras para monitoramento e controle de S. frugiperda, no entanto, novos ajustes devem ser efetuados para otimizar a eficiência de coleta das referidas formulações.

Complying and Resisting: A Qualitative Metasynthesis of the Race and Gender Discourses found in the Play of Young Children
Authors: Sturdivant Toni Denese
Published: March 2021

For many in the field of early childhood education, the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is considered to be the source for information on high-quality approaches. Currently, NAEYC (2005) states that high-quality programs are programs that include diversity within the physical environment of the room and considers the cultural backgrounds of the students in the class.This acknowledgment of there being bias in our society sheds light on the responsibility early childhood educators have regarding teaching children about biases in order to prevent the continued growth of systematic inequalities. The purpose of this qualitative metasynthesis is to synthesize the findings of various high-quality studies dealing with issues of race and gender and the play of young children as a way to understand better what messages young children are exposed to, are accepting and rejecting. The two research questions that guided the study are (a) How is intertextuality used in the discourse of young children in extant studies involving issues of hegemony in early childhood classrooms? (b) What societal discourses are present in the speech and actions of young children in extant studies involving hegemony in early childhood classrooms?  Findings show that young children in extant research confirmed hegemonic messages more than any of the other intertextual responses.

Authors: Prasad Sah Mahesh , Shah Bijendra , Chauhan Gouri , Singh OP
Published: March 2021

Ayurveda defines human body is made of different gross and subtle channels called srotas. Srotas are the channels through which different elements undergo transformation, transmutation, circulation and transportation. The srotas is an integral part of the body, serving as a route to conduct or convey a substance from one place to other. There are 13 major srotas mentioned. The Srotas or channels which carry Anna or Food is called Annavaha Srotas. Some authorities equate the Annavaha Srotas with the some parts of digestive system or the gastrointestinal tract. Agni, the transformative energy, in the Annavaha srotas digest and transforms the food into components suitable for the body. Impairment of function of agni is root the cause of the disease, which manifest either in Annavaha srotas or other srotas in the body. Thus, correction of agni is the prime in treatment of any disease. Elimination of vitiated doshas by Pancakarma procedure viz Vaman and Virechana has shown to have impact on agni through various guna in the drugs used in these therapy. Sodhana procedures has a significant role in improving the function of agni and restoring the health.
Review on Nadi Pareeksha Methodology
Authors: Maharjan Sangita
Published: March 2021

Nadi Pareeksha is one of the diagnostic tool in Ayurveda mentioned under Astasthana Rogi Pareeksha. Although the term Nadi has been used abundantly in Bruhat trayee, it’s use as a diagnostic tool has been first mentioned by Sharangadhara. There are evidence of practice of Nadi Pareeksha by folklore practioners, hakims, vaidyas. The knowledge of this practice has been passed from generation to generation from father to son or through guru shisya parampara, limiting the wisdom to few people only. The treatise in Ayurveda lacks systemic and elaborative description of methodology on Nadi Pareeksha. A collective approach of methodologies mentioned helps to draw an insight into systemic understanding of the procedure of carrying out Nadi Pareeksha.

Striroga and Prasuti Tantra (SRPT) (Gynae/Obs) department is one of the most important departments in any hospital. A number of patients get effective, affordable and safe Ayurvedic treatments from outpatient services of different departments of Ayurvedic hospital. But the number of patients in the OPD of SRPT department is very less inspite of its importance. The purpose of this study is to find out the frequency of patients who got benefits from treatments and services provided in the OPD of Striroga and Prasutitantra department so that the awareness as well as quality of services can be improved and different programmes can be introduced in the future to increase the outflow of the patients in the SRPT department.
New Wavelet-Based Algorithm for Speckle Reduction in Ultrasound Images
Authors: Nabil Tamer
Published: March 2021

This paper proposes an adaptive threshold estimation method for de-noising in wavelet domains merged with translation invariant de-noising. The sub-band shrink is computationally more efficient and adaptive because the parameters required for estimating the threshold depend on subband data. A new probability density function is proposed to model the statistics of wavelet coefficients. The subband threshold is derived using Bayesian estimation theory and the new pdf. Different shifts are used and applied to the noisy image in order to attain different estimates to the unknown image and then linearly average the estimates. In speckle images, the noise content is multiplicative. The proposed method is applied for speckle ultrasound images by using logarithmic transformation. Experimental results on several test images are compared with various de-noising techniques.
State Building Jihadism: Redefining Gender Hierarchies and “Empowerment”
Authors: Khelghat-Doost Hamoon
Published: March 2021

Since the establishment of the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq (ISIS), there was a surge in women’s incorporation into the organization. Traditionally, nationalist and leftist militant movements utilised women only during periods of mobilization and political struggle. Upon the periods of state consolidation, women were discarded and pushed out of the state institutions. Ironically and against the above established trend, this article demonstrates that this trend was reversed in the case of ISIS. By using the ‘mahram’ concept, the article also explains the reason why women were largely absent at the midst of ISIS’s conflict and military clashes and were brought to the stage only after the triumph of the organization in establishing its state. The findings of this research are based on secondary sources and primary data personally collected from more than 150 interviews through multiple field trips to Iraq, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Lebanon, and the borders of ISIS-controlled territories in Syria from July 2015 to January 2017.

Abstract. Climate is critically affected by aerosols, which alter cloud lifecycles and precipitation distribution through radiative and microphysical effects. In this study, aerosol and cloud property datasets from MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer), onboard the Aqua satellite, and surface observations, including aerosol concentrations, raindrop size distribution, and meteorological parameters, were used to statistically quantify the effects of aerosols on
low-level warm-cloud microphysics and drizzle over northern Taiwan during
multiple fall seasons (from 15 October to 30 November of 2005–2017). Our results
indicated that northwestern Taiwan, which has several densely populated
cities, is dominated by low-level clouds (e.g., warm, thin, and broken
clouds) during the fall season. The observed effects of aerosols on warm
clouds indicated aerosol indirect effects (i.e., increased aerosol loading
caused a decrease in cloud effective radius (CER)), an increase in cloud
optical thickness, an increase in cloud fraction, and a decrease in cloud-top temperature under a fixed cloud water path. Quantitatively,
aerosol–cloud interactions (ACI=-∂ln⁡CER∂ln⁡α|CWP, changes in CER relative to changes in aerosol amounts) were 0.07 for our research domain and varied
between 0.09 and 0.06 in the surrounding remote (i.e., ocean) and polluted
(i.e., land) areas, respectively, indicating aerosol indirect effects were
stronger in the remote area. From the raindrop size distribution analysis,
high aerosol loading resulted in a decreased frequency of drizzle events,
redistribution of cloud water to more numerous and smaller droplets, and
reduced collision–coalescence rates. However, during light rain (≤1 mm h−1), high aerosol concentrations drove raindrops towards smaller droplet sizes and increased the appearance of drizzle drops. This study used long-term surface and satellite data to determine aerosol variations in northern Taiwan, effects on clouds and precipitation, and observational strategies for future research on aerosol–cloud–precipitation interactions.
Utilizing an Electrical Low Pressure Impactor to Indirectly Probe Water Uptake via Particle Bounce Measurements
Authors: Fischer Kevin B. , Petrucci Giuseppe A.
Published: March 2021

Abstract. Secondary organic aerosol (SOA), formed through oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), display complex viscosity and phase behaviors influenced by temperature, relative humidity (RH), and chemical composition. Here, the efficacy of a multi-stage electrical low pressure impactor (ELPI) for indirect water uptake measurements was studied for ammonium sulfate (AS) aerosol, sucrose aerosol, and α-pinene derived SOA. All three aerosol systems were subjected to greater than 90 % chamber relative humidity, with subsequent analysis indicating persistence of particle bounce for sucrose 10 aerosol of 70 nm (initial dry diameter) and α-pinene derived SOA of number geometric mean diameters between 39 nm and 136 nm (initial dry diameter). On the other hand, sucrose aerosol of 190 nm (initial dry diameter) and AS aerosol down to 70 nm (initial dry diameter) exhibited no particle bounce at elevated RH. Partial drying of aerosol within the lower diameter ELPI impaction stages, where inherent and significant RH reductions occur, is proposed as one explanation for particle bounce persistence.
Flood-pedestrian simulator for modelling human response dynamics during flood-induced evacuation: Hillsborough stadium case study
Authors: Shirvani Mohammad , Kesserwani Georges
Published: March 2021

Abstract. The flood-pedestrian simulator uses a parallel approach to couple a hydrodynamic model to a pedestrian model in a single agent-based modelling (ABM) framework using the Graphical Processing Units (GPU). It allows to dynamically exchange and process multiple agent information between the two models. The simulator is augmented with more realistic human-body characteristics and in-model behavioural rules. The new features are implemented in the pedestrian model to factor in age- and gender-related walking speeds for the pedestrians in dry zones with possible acceleration based on a maximum excitement condition. It is also adapted to use age-related moving speeds for pedestrians inside flooded zones, with 13 either a walking condition or a running condition. The walking and running conditions are applicable without and with an existing two-way interaction condition that considers the effects of pedestrian congestion on the floodwater dynamics. A new autonomous change of direction condition is proposed to make way-finding decisions of pedestrians self-automated, based on the changes in the state of the floodwater dynamics or the most popular choice of destination selected by the other pedestrians. The relevance of the newly added characteristics and rules is demonstrated by applying the augmented simulator to reproduce a flood evacuation in a shopping centre test case, which was investigated with the version of the simulator that does not consider age and gender characteristics in the pedestrian model. The augmented simulator is finally applied to study evacuation scenarios for a mass evacuation from the Hillsborough football stadium located in a flood-prone area in Sheffield.
Local Correlation-based Transition Models for High-Reynolds-Number Wind Turbine Airfoils
Authors: Jung Yong Su , Vijayakumar Ganesh , Ananthan Shreyas , Baeder James
Published: March 2021

Abstract. Modern wind-turbine airfoil design requires robust performance predictions for varying thicknesses, shapes, and appropriate Reynolds numbers. The airfoils of current large offshore wind turbines operate with chord-based Reynolds numbers in the range of 3–15 million. Turbulence transition in the airfoil boundary layer is known to play an important role in the aerodynamics of these airfoils near the design operating point. While the lack of prediction of lift stall through Reynold-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is well-known, airfoil design using CFD requires the accurate prediction of the glide ratio (L / D) in the linear portion of the lift polar. The prediction of the drag bucket and the glide ratio is greatly affected by the choice of the transition model in RANS-CFD of airfoils. We present the performance of two existing local correlation-based transition models – one-equation (γ) and two-equation model coupled with the Spalart-Allmaras (SA) RANS turbulence model – for offshore wind-turbine airfoils operating at a high Reynolds number. We compare the predictions of the two transition models with available experimental and CFD data in the literature in the Reynolds number range of 3–15 million including the AVATAR project measurements of the DU00-W-212 airfoil. Both transition models predict a larger L / D compared to fully turbulent results at all Reynolds numbers. The two models exhibit similar behavior at Reynolds numbers around 3 million. However, at higher Reynolds numbers, the one-equation model fails to predict the natural transition behavior due to early transition onset. The two-equation transition model predicts the aerodynamic coefficients for airfoils of various thickness at higher Reynolds numbers up to 15 million more accurately compared to the one-equation model. The two-equation model also predicts the correct trends with the variation of Reynolds number comparable to the eN transition model. However, a limitation of this model is observed at very high Reynolds numbers of around 12–15 million where the predictions are very sensitive to the inflow turbulent intensity. The combination of the transition model coupled with the Spalart-Allmaras (SA) RANS turbulence model is a robust method for performance prediction of modern wind-turbine airfoils using CFD.
Theorizing Capitalist Imperialism for an Anti-Imperialist Praxis
Authors: Plys Kristin
Published: March 2021

How does one craft an explicitly left theory of anti-imperialism that would animate an anti-imperialist praxis? World-systems analysis has a long history of engagement with theories of anti-imperialism from an explicitly Leninist perspective. For the founding fathers of World-Systems Analysis—Immanuel Wallerstein, Giovanni Arrighi, Samir Amin, and Andre Gunder Frank—anti-imperialism was an early central concern. Each of the four founders of world-systems analysis reads Lenin’s theory of imperialism seriously, but each has slightly different interpretations. One significant commonality they share is that they adopt Lenin’s periodization of imperialism, seeing imperialism as emergent in the late 19th century as part of a particular stage within the historical development of capitalism. However, as I will argue in this essay, perhaps it would be preferable to temporally expand Lenin’s concept of imperialism. Walter Rodney’s concept of “capitalist imperialism,” as I shall show in this essay, similarly calls Lenin’s periodization into question. Thereby, putting Rodney in conversation with Amin, Arrighi, Frank, and Wallerstein, leads me to further historicize world-systems’ theories of global imperialism thereby refining existing theories and levying that to build stronger praxis.
World Histories of Big Data Policing
Authors: McQuade Brendan
Published: March 2021

Textbook presentations of U.S. policing name the present as new stage of professionalization: the homeland security era, where the application of “big data” promises “smarter” policing. Within this framework of gradual progress, liberal police scholarship has become the official criticism of big data policing to organize a project of liberal reform. Of course, this scholarship is being in written in the context of both militant social movements within the United States and the terminal decline of U.S. global hegemony. To clarify the stakes of this moment, this paper connects the Marxist anti-security perspective and anti-racist critiques of surveillance and big data policing from within the Black radical tradition. It argues that the emergence of big data policing is the latest development in on-going processes of pacification that have expanded, organized, and reproduced the colonial/modern world-system over the longue durée.  The paper extends and elaborates conceptualizations of hegemonic cycles in relation to work on the maturation of intelligence tradecraft, focusing on two interrelated developments: (1) two information revolutions that reorganized social relations and (2) the police-wars that shaped the rise and decline of the United States as a world hegemonic power. It concludes that big data policing is the latest outgrowth of the imperial epistemology that organized and continues animate the work of pacification and obscure the politics of anti-systemic struggle.
