Authors: Ferreira Dôuglas Aparecido , CRISTO DE LIMA THAIS
Published: January 2024

O presente estudo é uma proposta analítica tem como foco entender a relação entre metáforas e valores sociais. Teoricamente, compreendemos as metáforas como pensamentos inseridos em nosso cotidiano e que, portanto, podem revelar os valores de um tempo. Empiricamente, coletamos o conteúdo divulgado pela marca Matteo Sorvete Criativo em sua conta oficial no Instagram e, por meio de uma grade analítica qualitativa, identificamos as metáforas e valores presentes. Nossas conclusões indicam como as metáforas utilizadas pela marca (trabalhador, jovem, família, joia, recompensa e história) revelam os valores de uma sociedade capitalista, meritocrática, segregadora e globalizada.
ESCUTA MUSICAL E NARRATIVAS: diferença e alteridade nos processos comunicacionais
Authors: Faria de Carvalho Nilton , Vargas Herom
Published: January 2024

O presente trabalho visa pensar a prática da escuta musical como convite à diferença. O ponto de partida considera a organização da música pop nas mídias, sua aderência às estéticas do chamado Ocidente, para propor reflexões sobre obras de perfil híbrido, cuja matriz é o Sul Global. A análise empírica usa narrativas construídas em oficinas de escuta musical oferecidas a alunos do ensino médio como atividade de extensão. O caminho teórico metodológico aproxima a experiência de pesquisa narrativa à análise semiótica das canções para repensar a universalização dos regimes de reconhecimento dominantes nas mídias, com base em outras existências e campos de enunciação.

Published: January 2024

Considering the increase in the generationof solid waste worldwide, selective wastecollection is one of the initiatives thatpromote the reverse logistics of thesematerials, in a way to reduce environmentalimpacts. However, mobilizing thepopulation to promote the return of thesewastes has been a difficult task amongpublic managers. Only strategicallyimplemented communication, not treated ina unique way to reach all audiences, cancontribute to the success of selectivecollection programs. Therefore, this studyaims to identify significant variables, fromthe individuals' opinion, that impedeunderstanding the message contentprovided in selective collection programs.For this, a case study was carried out in a citylocated in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.Multiple logistic regression was used as astatistical analysis tool, in which theresponse variable (the individual's capacityto understand the content of the messages)is considered as a function of 33 explanatoryvariables. From the data analysis, it wasobtained the most adequate logistic modelwith a predictive capacity of almost 92%,such that six explanatory variables (Genre; Ifthe citizen performs separation of materials;If the citizen knows how selective collectionhelps the environment; If the citizen knowsthe municipal cooperative; If the citizenknows that the separation contributes to theeconomy of the city; and, Citizen preferencefor other media for feedback) weresignificant to the response variable. Theresults showed there is an interference ofvariables in the individual's capacity tounderstand the content of the messages,indicating that in a communicationalprocess it is necessary to take into accountthe peculiarities and heterogeneity of thepopulation to achieve the intended purpose.

Authors: Maia do Amaral Ricardo , Freire de Melo João Ricardo
Published: January 2024

O sistema nacional de exploração da propriedade industrial, cuja proteção funciona mediante a concessão de registros e patentes, é relevante para o desenvolvimento tecnológico do país. No caso das patentes, o grande aumento de solicitações recebidas pelos escritórios de propriedade industrial gera o que vem se denominando backlog. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar o grau de adesão ao programa de trâmite prioritário de processos de patentes para depositantes de Instituições Científicas e Tecnológicas - ICTs, entre os onze Institutos Federais de Educação do Nordeste. Contudo, percebe-se que a adesão ao trâmite prioritário para patentes de ICTs ainda é algo pouco explorado.

GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS THROUGH THE PERSPECTIVE OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Cardoso Vitória Aparecida , Rodrigues João Augusto , Campos Amanda dos Santos Negreti , Lourenzani Ana Elisa Bressan Smith
Published: January 2024

While globalization promotes the homogenization of consumption, it is possible to observe during the last years a change in consumers' behavior towards a valorization of local products produced traditionally. In this context are the Geographical Indications (GIs), responsible for identifying the origin of a given product or service when its place of origin has become known for its production or when certain product quality is linked to its demographic origin.  The GIs also preserve local traditions and the natural environment, as well as foster farmers’ market access, which makes these labels be seen as a development tool. Therefore, this work verifies the potential of GIs to contribute to the dimensions of sustainable development (SD), which are economic, social, and environmental. A bibliographic literature review was carried out. Results show that a GI can contribute to the three dimensions of sustainability, which are social, economic, and environmental.

Until now, there have been no findings of serious deviations from sharia aspects at BPRS Dana Amanah Surakarta, usually the findings are limited to administrative requirements that can be fulfilled. ImplicationsBPRS Dana Amanah Surakarta should maintain the sharia compliance for KPR Syariah iB Hebat and its other financial products. Other Islamic micro financial institutions can follow the steps taken by BPRS Dana Amanah Surakarta to engineer its financial products.Originality/NoveltyThis research made an important contribution in the form of concepts and implementation on sharia compliance, which is a part that should not be separated from the activities of sharia entities, as a reference for analyzing and developing the financial, economic, and Islamic business in the future.
Kandidat Ideal atau Populis?: Strategi Framing Visual Ganjar Pranowo dan Puan Maharani Melalui Instagram
Authors: Febryanti Dian Rousta , Ahmad Nyarwi
Published: January 2024

Self-presentation and visual branding strategy through social media, particularly Instagram, have been increasingly developed by Indonesia’s public figures, including Ganjar Pranowo and Puan Maharani. This article examines what types of personal brand visualized by these public figures through their Instagram accounts in between 1 August and 25 October 2022. Having adopted political marketing perspective, we adopt Munoz and Towner’s (2017) two concepts of framing personal brand visualisation, which are framing visualisations as an ideal candidate and as a populist candidate. Extraction of material posted in their Instagram accounts using Grabe and Bucy’s (2009) visual framing analysis reveal the following findings. Ganjar Pranowo favoured visualing his personal brand not merely as an ideal candidate, but also as a populist candidate. Puan Mahanari instead, preferred visualising her personal brand as an ideal candidate. In contrast to Ganjar, Puan seems being less capable of developing her personal brand using a visual frame as a populis candidate. These evidence that self presentation and branding performed by public figures using visual elements through social media platforms indicate the degree to which did these public figires have capability in visualising their personal brand as an ideal and/or a populist candidate when they address the electoral markets.

A Deep Learning Method for Health State Prediction of Lithium Ion Batteries Based on LUT-Memory and Quantization
Authors: Al-Meer Mohamed H.
Published: January 2024

The precise determination of the State-of-Health (SOH) of lithium-ion batteries is critical in the domain of battery management systems. The proposed model in this research paper emulates any deep learning or machine learning model by utilizing a Look Up Table (LUT) memory to store all activation inputs and their corresponding outputs. The operation that follows the completion of training is referred to as the LUT memory preparation procedure. The lookup operation performed on this method simply substitutes for the inference process. This is achieved by discretizing the input data and features before binarizing them. The term for the aforementioned operation is the LUT inference method. The procedure was evaluated in this study using two distinct neural network architectures: a bidirectional long short-term memory (LSTM) architecture and a standard fully connected neural network (FCNN). It is anticipated that considerably greater efficiency and velocity will be achieved during the inference procedure when the pre-trained deep neural network architecture is inferred directly. The principal aim of this research is to construct a lookup table that effectively establishes correlations between the SOH of lithium-ion batteries and ensures a degree of imprecision that is tolerable. According to the results obtained from the NASA PCoE lithium-ion battery dataset, the proposed methodology exhibits performance that is largely comparable to that of the initial machine learning models. Utilising the error assessment metrics RMSE, MAE, and (MAPE), the accuracy of SOH prediction has been quantitatively evaluated. The indicators mentioned above demonstrate a significant degree of accuracy when predicting SOH.

Abstract: Background: Cataract is an extremely important and ground source of the curable blindness around the globe. Lenticular Vitamin C is actual important ultraviolet filter and antioxidant that decreases entry of the light rays into lens and therefore preventing the lens from oxidative damage. Keeping this in sight, higher intake of the vitamin c and by consuming the diet rich in vitamin c can prevent the age-related cataract. The motive of this study is to analyze if high vitamin C levels can lead to decrease in the percentage of cataract in patients. Objective: To determine occurrence of the senile cataract among Vitamin C deficient subjects and compare mean vitamin C levels among senile cataract and controls. Materials and Methods: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at The Department of Ophthalmology, PIMS (Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences), Islamabad, Pakistan, after being accepted by Ethical review Committee. Individuals were selected, in the age range between 45 to 75 years of age from the patients who visited Eye OPD, PIMS, and Islamabad. All participants undergone detailed ophthalmic examination that included visual acuity assessment through the Snellen’s chart, anterior segment examination on the slit lamp. Blood vitamin C level was assessed in both cases and controls. Information was recorded in the designated Proforma and data was analyzed using SPSS 23.0 version. Results: We enrolled 100 patients 50 in each group. Average age of our individuals in our case set was 60.96±9.57 years and in control set remained 59.66±8.92 years. In study group 25(50.0%) remained male and 25(50.0%) remained female. similarly, in control group 19(38.0%) were male and 31(62.0%) were female. The mean value of level of serum vitamin C in study group was 0.55±0.06 mg/dl and average value of level of the serum vitamin C in control group was 0.87±0.07 mg/dl. There was significant difference as p value is less than level of implication (p < 0.05). In cataractous individuals the level of the serum vitamin C was low as compared to control set. Conclusion: In this study, researchers determined that blood vitamin C may be a preventive component towards cataract development that is likely influenced by vitamin C consumption.

Abstract: Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is not a common cause of nephrotic syndrome (NS) in adults unlike in children. It is commonly steroid-resistant in adults unlike in children. Tissue diagnosis needed for effective management could be unavailable due to cost, particularly in resource poor settings. Patient was examined, had urine analysis, serum biochemistry assay, kidney scan and a kidney biopsy for histological diagnosis. The patient had generalized oedema, with ascites, elevated blood pressure (156/90 mmHg) and massive proteinuria (4.6 g/day). The haemogram showed haematocrit of 32%, with absolute lymphocytosis (72%). Fasting lipids showed hypercholesterolemia (533 mg/dl), elevated LDL (274 mg/dl), low HDL (27 mg/dl) and hypertriglyceridemia (302 mg/dl). Ultrasound showed enlarged kidneys. Histological findings were mesangial hypercellularity, double-contour formation along the glomerular capillary wall (tram track appearance) and endocapillary proliferation. He was managed with intravenous methylprednisolone, (followed by gradually reducing oral doses), frusemide, atorvastatin, antibiotics and had daily weighing. He responded well to treatment. He was counselled on good compliance and has been on follow-up visits. His clinical and laboratory parameters have been normal. Nephrotic syndrome from MPGN should be looked out for in adults presenting with NS and their treatment with steroids could be very beneficial.

ADENSAMENTO VEGETATIVO E SUA INTERFERÊNCIA NOS ELEMENTOS CLIMÁTICOS
Authors: Miyakava William , Cristiane de Costa Trindade Amorim Margarete
Published: January 2024

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo estudar os efeitos da agricultura urbana agroflorestal nos elementos do clima em Presidente Prudente (SP). Partiu-se da hipótese de que a cobertura vegetal aliada à agricultura urbana influencia positivamente na dinâmica do clima urbano. Para isso, realizou-se o registro de dados de temperatura e umidade relativa do ar em meses representativos da estação chuvosa (fevereiro) e seca (julho) de 2021, a partir de sensores automáticos em três pontos com características distintas de cobertura da terra em Presidente Prudente, sendo: duas áreas urbanas (uma densamente construída e outra com vegetação/agrofloresta) e um ponto representativo do rural. A partir da coleta, organização, tabulação e tratamento dos dados, foi possível calcular a diferença de temperatura e umidade nos pontos supracitados e representá-los em painéis espaço-temporais, em conjunto com os gráficos de análise rítmica, que permitiram identificar a ocorrência do fenômeno das ilhas de calor urbanas (ICU) no período diurno e noturno. A baixa precipitação, relacionada à alta variação da direção e elevada velocidade do vento durante o mês de fevereiro resultou em maiores intensidades e magnitudes da ICU tanto diurna, quanto noturna. Já o mês de julho apresentou baixa velocidade do vento e pouca variação de sua direção, com precipitação nula e a presença majoritária de sistemas atmosféricos estáveis, o que culminou em uma maior homogeneização da ICU diurna, ao contrário da noturna, que manteve-se heterogênea com alta intensidade e magnitude. Por fim, verificou-se a extrema importância da vegetação na influência do clima urbano.

Lateral Completions a Boon for Haynesville Extension
Authors: Wright Blake
Published: January 2024

There is an old adage in the oil patch: The best place to find oil … is in an oil field. The same holds for natural gas.

The Deep Bossier gas play of east Texas spawned some impressive field discoveries in the early to mid-2000s, such as the Amoruso and Savell fields in Robertson County, Texas. Another big find, Hilltop, lies just to the east in Leon County. Wells tap into the Deep Bossier at depths between 15,000 and 20,000 ft. They intersect overpressured shale and sandstone formations a few thousand feet thick.

These conventional, vertical wells were challenging to drill, but often the payoff merited the difficulty and the associated cost as many would come online producing 20 MMcf/D or more of natural gas once completed. A few even bested 50 MMcf/D.

The Haynesville Shale of east Texas and western Louisiana has been a gas tank for operators like Shell, BP, Chevron, Chesapeake, and others since it came into prominence around 2008. Even though some of these players have exited, it reached new highs in March 2023, averaging 14.5 Bcf/D, 10% more than the 2022 annual average of 13.1 Bcf/D, according to data from Enverus.

Haynesville natural gas production currently accounts for about 14% of all US dry natural gas production. It is the third-largest shale gas-producing play in the US, behind the Marcellus play in the Appalachian Basin and the Permian play in west Texas and New Mexico.

The linchpin of both plays is their robust natural gas potential. In 2017, the US Geological Survey (USGS) estimated the Bossier Formation contained 2.9 billion bbl of oil, 108.6 Tcf of natural gas, and 1 billion bbl of natural gas liquids (NGLs), while the Haynesville Formation was estimated to contain a mean of 1.1 billion bbl of oil, 195.8 Tcf of natural gas, and 0.9 billion bbl of NGLs.

In a report from 2010, the USGS predicted the Bossier held a mean of just 9.0 Tcf of natural gas, while the Haynesville was estimated to contain 61.4 Tcf of natural gas.

There has been some confusion regarding the Haynesville and Bossier shales over the years due to the different geological naming conventions in Louisiana and Texas. According to the Texas Railroad Commission, it is generally recognized that the shale interval in east Texas is the Lower Bossier that correlates with the Haynesville of Louisiana. The Upper Bossier Formation is distinguished from the Lower Bossier Formation by its location, to the southwest, and the fact that it is more sand-rich.

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 216484, “Optimization of Well-Diagnostics Investigation,” by A. Yugay, SPE, A. Zhukin, and S. Vorozhikhin, ADNOC, et al. The paper has not been peer reviewed.

The complete paper defines the conditions for optimized well-diagnostics investigation, allowing preservation of resources and minimization of response time to well failure. It also describes a rigless solutions for common well-barrier failures and lessons learned from the operator’s field trials. This information is valuable for companies aiming to optimize their sustained annulus pressure (SAP) well-management process. The main objective of the paper is to identify scenarios in which the failed barrier element can be recognized from surface data alone.

SAP Management

Well-diagnostic activities can be divided into two classifications: surface activities and subsurface activities (well interventions). Common surface investigation activities include the following:

- Bleedoff/buildup test

- Sampling and analysis of the effluent

- Wellhead seal test

- Revision of well history

- Leak-rate measurements

- Echometer surveys

- Pressure tests

- Tracers

Subsurface well diagnostics may include the following:

- Pressure and temperature surveys

- Corrosion logs

- Leak-detection logs

- Mechanical communication tests

- Fiber-optic surveys

- Various slickline tools

- Installation of downhole gauges

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) of Premature Well-Barrier Failures

For wells with premature integrity failures (when the failure occurs within 10 years of the last rig entry), a new RCA process was implemented. Enhanced SAP investigation is conducted to identify exactly which well-barrier element failed. In the majority of cases, it is reverified during workover, after the completion is pulled to surface, and is available for visual and other types of inspection. The process includes third-party inspection and material testing, manufacture inspection, independent consultancy services, software simulations, and analytical brainstorming. On the basis of the confirmed direct causes, a multidisciplinary team conducts a full investigation of the failure, attempting to identify root causes.

With the root causes identified, the team develops an action plan with fixed deadlines and specific actors. All findings and observations, along with the analysis and final outcome, are captured in the reports, presented to the management, and cascaded for implementation and improvement.

The multidisciplinary team is staffed by representatives from drilling, production, and engineering departments. Thus, this group is no longer considered a “task force”; instead, a completely new dedicated business process has been implemented, created with a budget and resources allocated to move forward with continuous improvement.
Fusarium species variations in commercial onion fields in Northeastern Israel

Fusarium basal rot (FBR) is a significant limitation to Alliumproduction worldwide. The damage of the disease can be observed throughout the entire crop cycle. The current research aims to understand better the impact of Fusarium Basal Rot (FBR) on the cultivation of onions (Allium cepa) in northeast Israel. It focuses on studying the composition and incidence of Fusarium species involved in the disease outburst in two representative fields, one in the Galilee (Hula Valley) and the second in the Golan Heights, where the disease incidences reached 8%. Using colony morphology, microscopic taxonomic keys, and molecular methods, a new, unreported Fusarium solanispecies was discovered as a wildly spread member of the Fusarium pathobiome community. This species appeared to be more generalist in its nature since it was found in all three onion cultivars' samples. It was also less virulent in seed germination (42-52% higher sprout biomass, p < 0.05) and bulb pathogenicity tests (41-45% less necrotic) than Fusarium acutatum. Whereas the Galilee yellow Orlando onion cultivar bulbs sampled are colonized by F. solani (70%) and two other, less abundant species, F. oxysporum, f. sp. cepae, and F. acutatum (15% each), the Golan Heights field's Fusarium community, show host specificity. In the Golan Heights field, F. oxysporum f. sp. cepae inhabited the red H1 onion cultivar bulbs, whereas F. acutatum colonized the yellow H2 cultivar (40% and 50% prevalence along with F. solani). A better understanding of this disease complexity caused by different Fusarium species with a divergence in host susceptibility and virulence is critical for developing disease management strategies. Since each Fusarium species reacts differently to pest control treatments, the changes in the species composition may require specifically adapted pest control solutions.

Published: January 2024

We have conducted a study that investigates the complex interactions between different factors in metamaterials, particularly in the context of modulation instability. We have shown the competition between intermodal dispersion, self steepening effect, higher order dispersion and the amplitude of plane waves with variety of modulation instability in metamaterials. The specific behavior of MI bands and their dependence on the self-steepening parameter and amplitude will vary depending on the details of the optical system and the dispersion properties of the medium
Experimental-numerical study on composite concrete shear wall with encased web steel plate
Authors: katrangi Mahmoud , Khanmohammadi Mohammad
Published: January 2024

Composite shear wall isone of the most desirable structural systems in high seismic regions due to high seismic efficiency that encourages structural designers to use this system in high rise buildings. The most of the previous research essentially investigates composite steel plate shear walls reinforced with steel chords at the boundary elements, while little information is available about concrete shear walls with composite (encased) web using steel plate and confined boundary elements conforming with ACI318-19 provisions. In the current study, composite shear walls with web steel plate (encased) (CSW-WSP) confined with dense stirrups at the boundary elements are assessed using experimental and numerical methods. Using different lengths of steel plates, two CSW-WSPs reinforced with confined boundary elements were tested, and a finite element model (FE) was presented and calibrated with the experimental tests. In addition, 45 FE models were analyzed to study the influence of the axial load ratio, reinforcement and steel plate ratios, confinement level, and aspect ratio on the lateral response. Moreover, the lateral shear strength capacity is assessed and a simple relationship has suggested to predict the lateral drift capacity of CSW-WSPs. The results show that the CSW-WSPs with confined boundary element display a stable hysteresis lateral response and high energy dissipation with no strength degradation until 2.5 % drift ratio and can be a candidate for seismic force-resisting systems listed in ASCE7-22 as “Steel and concrete composite special shear walls”.
Smoking-associated Electrocardiographic Abnormalities Predict Cardiovascular Mortality: Insights from NHANES

Published: January 2024

Background—Smoking is associated with arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death, but the biological mechanisms remain unclear. Abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) durations of ventricular repolarization (QT interval), atrial depolarization (P wave), and atrioventricular depolarization (PR interval and segment), predict cardiac arrhythmia and mortality.
Objectives—To elucidate how smoking affects cardiac excitation, we assessed in a nationally representative sample (NHANES III) associations between cotinine, abnormalities in P duration, PR interval, PR segment, rate-corrected QT (QTc), QRS duration, and JT interval, and long-term mortality.
Methods—We analyzed data from 5,633 adults using survey-weighted multinomial logistic regression to estimate associations between tobacco use (>15 ng/ml serum cotinine) and short (<5th percentile) or long (>95th percentile) ECG intervals, relative to reference (5 – 95th percentile).
Results—After adjustment for demographics, risk factors, and conduction-altering medications, smoking was associated with a higher odds of short PR interval, PR segment, and QRS, and long JT. Broader ECG effects of smoking were also assessed by survey-weighted linear regression of continuous cotinine and ECG intervals, which revealed cotinine inversely associated with PR segment and QTc. Over a 22-year follow-up, many ECG abnormalities predicted cardiovascular mortality in smokers, including long JT, QRS, and QTc, and short QRS.
Conclusions—Smoking increases likelihood for rapid atrioventricular conduction, rapid ventricular depolarization, and slow ventricular repolarization. The ventricular electrophysiologic abnormalities associated with smoking also predict cardiovascular mortality in smokers; however, traditional ECG measures of cardiac risk like QTc can overlook these ventricular defects and their independent predictive value in smokers.
