HSV-2 (Herpes simplex virus type 2) is a critical viral agent that mainly causes genital herpes and life-long latent infection in the dorsal root ganglia. Gene modification via CRISPR/Cas9 Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat sequences/CRISPR associated 9) was used here to construct HSV-2 mutant strains through the deletion of fragments of the RL1 (Repeat Long element 1) and/or LAT (Latency-associated Transcript) genes. The HSV-2 mutant strains LAT-HSV-2 and RL1-LAT-HSV-2 present different biological properties. The proliferation of RL1-LAT-HSV-2 in nerve cells was decreased significantly, and the plaques induced by RL1-LAT-HSV-2 in Vero cells were smaller than those induced by LAT-HSV-2 mutant and wild-type strains. The observation of mice infected with these two mutants compared to mice infected with the wild-type strain indicated that the mutant RL1-LAT-HSV-2 has an attenuated phenotype with reduced pathogenicity during both acute and latent infections and induces a stronger specific immune response than the wild-type strain, whereas the attenuation effect was not found in mice infected with the LAT-HSV-2 mutant containing the LAT gene deletion. However, the simultaneous mutation of both the RL1 and LAT genes did not completely restrict viral proliferation in nerve cells, indicating that multiple HSV genes are involved in viral replication in the neural system. This work suggests that the HSV-2 genes RL1 and/or LAT might be involved in the virulence mechanisms in mouse infections.

Authors: Gadhave Kiran R. , Gautam Saurabh , Rasmussen David A. , Srinivasan Rajagopalbabu
Published: July 2020

Potyviruses are the largest group of plant infecting RNA viruses that cause significant losses in a wide range of crops across the globe. The majority of viruses in the genus Potyvirus are transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent, non-circulative manner and have been extensively studied vis-à-vis their structure, taxonomy, evolution, diagnosis, transmission, and molecular interactions with hosts. This comprehensive review exclusively discusses potyviruses and their transmission by aphid vectors, specifically in the light of several virus, aphid and plant factors, and how their interplay influences potyviral binding in aphids, aphid behavior and fitness, host plant biochemistry, virus epidemics, and transmission bottlenecks. We present the heatmap of the global distribution of potyvirus species, variation in the potyviral coat protein gene, and top aphid vectors of potyviruses. Lastly, we examine how the fundamental understanding of these multi-partite interactions through multi-omics approaches is already contributing to, and can have future implications for, devising effective and sustainable management strategies against aphid-transmitted potyviruses to global agriculture.

Les libelles satiriques composés à la veille du concile de Pise. Une insurrection collective contre le Grand Schisme
Authors: Revest Clémence
Published: July 2020

Cet article analyse un ensemble de libelles satiriques composés dans le contexte de l’enlisement des manoeuvres pour la résolution du Grand Schisme et de la révolte des cardinaux entre l’automne 1407 et l’automne 1408, avant la tenue du concile de Pise en 1409. Ces textes (invectives ou parodies) ont été copiés dans des « dossiers » destinés à défendre la cause de la rébellion, au même titre que des consilia ou des actes diplomatiques. Caractérisés par la violence verbale et le sarcasme, ils sont surtout l’oeuvre de curialistes scandalisés par la conduite des papes rivaux et laissent percevoir la colère collective qui a accompagné la dynamique conciliaire pisane. Sont évoquées notamment les nombreuses attaques contre les papes, les nouveaux cardinaux (dont Giovanni Dominici et Gabriele Condulmer) et toute une galerie de curialistes « hypocrites » demeurés à leurs côtés. Une description du corpus est présentée en annexe, accompagnée de l’édition d’un des libelles.
Pemodelan Aliran Bahan Rombakan (Debris Flow) di Kecamatan Sambelia, Kabupaten Lombok Timur, Nusa Tenggara Barat
Authors: Kristiawan Yohandi
Published: July 2020

Aliran bahan rombakan (debris flow) adalah fenomena di mana percampuran air, lumpur, dan kerikil sampai bongkah mengalir dengan kecepatan tinggi. Karena aliran debris flow memiliki viskositas dan kecepatan yang tinggi, maka bersifat sangat merusak karena mengangkut material yang dilalui di sepanjang sungai sehingga volume dan energinya semakin meningkat dan dapat merusak rumah, jembatan, dan infrastruktur, dan mengakibatkan korban jiwa. Aliran bahan rombakan atau sering disebut banjir bandang merupakan jenis gerakan tanah yang sering terjadi di Kecamatan Sambelia, Kabupaten Lombok Timur, Nusa Tenggara Barat. Kejadian banjir bandang sering terjadi selama kurun 10 tahun terakhir yaitu pada tahun 2006, 2012, 2014, dan 2017. Dampak banjir bandang menyebabkan banyak korban jiwa dan beberapa jembatan utama roboh sehingga jalur transportasi terputus serta sebagian masyarakat terpaksa mengungsi. Topografi di daerah Sambelia yang berupa perbukitan terjal dengan hulu sungai yang sempit menjadikan beberapa daerah aliran sungai di wilayah ini rentan terjadi bendungan alam penyebab aliran bahan rombakan. Berdasarkan interpretasi citra menunjukan bahwa daerah sambelia merupakan kipas alluvial. Upaya mitigasi terhadap ancaman gerakan tanah salah satunya dilakukan dengan melakukan pemodelan. Rapid Mass Movement Simulation (RAMSS) merupakan salah satu program untuk mensimulasikan aliran debris. Pemodelan dilakukan dengan memasukkan parameter-parameter tertentu seperti volume, friksi, DEM, dll. Hasil pemodelan ini berupa zonasi daerah bahaya aliran debris/banjir bandang. Sehingga hasil pemodelan diharapkan dapat menjadi salah satu kajian atau rujukan dalam mitigasi bencana gerakan tanah di Kecamatan Sambelia, Nusa Tenggara Barat.Kata kunci : pemodelan, banjir bandang, aliran bahan rombakan, sambelia, ramms

The article describes the results of experimental studies aimed at investigating toxic effects of methyl tertbutyl ether [MTBE] and nitrobenzene [NB] according to the criteria of changes in the immune system status of laboratory animals in conditions of cold stress and in conditions of temperature optimum.
The research was carried out in the conditions of a subacute experiment (during one month of experiment) on laboratory animals (adult WAG male rats). The NB or MTBE were injected into the stomach at a dosage 1/10 LD50 (70 mg/kg of NB and 500 mg/kg MTBE) thirty times, the experimental animals were kept in two different temperature conditions during four hours five times per week.
The animals were divided into 4 groups, six animals in each group. The animals of the first group were subjected to NB or MTBE at an air temperature of 252C (normal ambient temperature). The animals of the second group served as a control group for the first one. The animals of the third group were subjected to NB or MTBE in combination with the lowered air temperature of 4±2℃. The animals of the fourth group were only subjected to the effect of the reduced temperature of 4±20℃, that is, they were a control group for the ones of the third group.
The analysis of the results of the experimental data about the features of the immunotoxic action of NB and MTBE under conditions of cold stress indicates the tension of the immune system of the laboratory animals, which is manifested by progressive lymphopenia and a decrease in the phagocytic activity of neutrophils in absorption of foreign agents, especially in the end-period.
The immunotoxic effect of NB and MTBE under conditions of temperature optimum indicates a temporary immune system tension, namely leukocytosis and leukopenia at the stage only after 5 and 15 priming. At the end of the priming period, shifts in the immune system's performance under the effect of NB and MTBE under temperature optimum conditions were not observed, which may indicate a positive adaptability of laboratory animals to the action of chemical factors (NB and MTBE) under such temperature conditions.
The combined effect of NB and MTBE on the body at the level of their effective concentrations and low temperature causes a detrimental effect on the adaptability of the body. Thus, these chemical compounds at the stage of physiological adaptation, that is before the formation of the pathological process, complicate the formation of specific and nonspecific reactions responsible for the adaptation of the organism to the effect of another factor in the production or environment – a low air temperature. The latter, in turn, creates an additional load on biochemical detoxification systems, leads to their imbalance and changes in the rate of biotransformation of the chemical agent and the speed of development of the toxic process.
INVESTIGATION OF APPLICATIONS OF FIBONACCI SEQUENCE AND GOLDEN RATIO IN MUSIC
Authors: BAKIM Sümeyye , YÖRE Seyit
Published: July 2020

In studies presented in the literature, relationships between music and mathematics can sometimes be observed. Leonardo Fibonacci (1170-1250) is well known with the Fibonacci Sequence used to identify numbers in various music elements. In related studies, these numbers have been used to demonstrate the existence of the ‘Golden Ratio’ using methods and theories borrowed from the components of music. Nevertheless, this relationship has subsequently been seen inaccurate. The selected works from Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven and Bartók have previously been used to study the Fibonacci Sequence and Golden Ratio, and these works are discussed in this paper in the context of musical and mathematical theories. For musical works that allegedly used the Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio, we examined the measure or rhythms (sound duration)within these works; we found these studies yielded values close to the terms of the Fibonacci Sequence, and the determined values of the Golden Ratio were 0.618, 1.618, and 0.382. It was determined that the accuracy of the Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio expressed in selected works of European art music are controversial within the framework of relevant studies.

The precariousness of scientific education is closely related to the precariousness of basic education in Brazil. Teaching and research are superimposed on the successful educational context that involves the teacher-researcher, learners and the scientific methodology. Through it, education professionals expand the way of generating knowledge and foster critical, exploratory and creative thinking. Constructivism claims that learning requires a positive environment. With this, the valorization of the knowledge of the subjects involved in the learning process, together with the exploration of the means of everyday life will enable teaching aligned with research. Science and technology fairs become excellent means of scientific and technological appreciation in school environments. In this context, this work aimed to report the methodological theory to produce the cereal bars with family farming products, from Feira de Ciências e Tecnologias (VII FECITEC) at IFBaiano, Campus Senhor do Bonfim. The research work was conducted by students from the Technical Professional Course in Agricultural and Livestock, within the scope of the discipline of agroindustry and obeys the flow of scientific methodology, from the planning of the event to the impacts observed at the end of the course. Each step of the process is detailed. Thus, this work encourages the production chain of food raw materials and the development of new food products. It also fulfills its purpose of promoting and enhancing the scientific methodology related to the educational routine from the VII FECITEC.

This paper aims to provide an intelligent way to query and rank the results of a Meta Search Engine. A Meta Search Engine takes input from the user and produces results which are gathered from other search engines. The main advantage of a Meta Search Engine over methodical search engine is its ability to extend the search space and allows more resources for the user. The semantic intelligent queries will be fetching the results from different search engines and the responses will be fed into our ranking algorithm. Ranking of the search results is the other important aspect of Meta search engines. When a user searches a query, there are number of results retrieved from different search engines, but only several results are relevant to user's interest and others are not much relevant. Hence, it is important to rank results according to the relevancy with user query. The proposed paper uses intelligent query and ranking algorithms in order to provide intelligent meta search engine with semantic understanding.

Published: July 2020

Partindo da defesa do princípio do universalismo cosmopolita, o filósofo Michelângelo Bovero, discípulo da escola de Turim, analisa o conceito de "globalização" em contraposição ao de "universalismo", distinguindo as diversas facetas da globalização (apontando um número de sete diferentes concepções sobre esse fenômeno), em especial em relação, de um lado, às dimensões econômica (correspondente à globalização dos processos produtivos) e informático-telemática (correspondente à interconexão planetária dos fluxos de comunicação e informação), os quais seriam processos reais, e, de outro, às dimensões jurídica (correspondente ao universalismo dos direitos) e política (correspondente à expansão da democracia), os quais seriam processos ideais. Outras facetas da globalização apontadas seriam a "globalização do medo", a "globalização da guerra" e a "globalização da esquerda".ABSTRACTDefending the Cosmopolitan Universalist Principle, the philosopher Michelângelo Bovero, disciple of the school of Turim, analyses the concept of “globalization” in contraposition to the concept of “universalism”, distinguishing the many aspects of globalization (pointing out seven different conceptions about this phenomenon), specially in relation, in one side, to the economic (corresponding the globalization of the productive process) and informatics-telematics dimension (corresponding the global interconnection of communication and information flux), which would be real processes, and in another side, to the law dimension (corresponding the universalism of rights) and politic (corresponding the democracy expansion), which would be ideal processes. Other globalization perspectives pointed out would be the “globalization  of fear”, the “globalization of war” and the “globalization of the left-wing”.
Bosques y Energía en la Organización de las Naciones Unidas. Sus proyecciones para Argentina / Forestry and energy at the United Nations. Its projections for Argentina
Authors: Lorenzo Cristian
Published: July 2020

La energía generada a partir de biomasa forestal es una de las alternativas energéticas a los combustibles fósiles que comenzó a tener más fuerza después de la crisis de los alimentos. Este artículo analiza las proyecciones para Argentina de la promoción de energía a partir de este tipo de biomasa impulsada por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO). Desde el pensamiento situado en Relaciones Internacionales, valorando la importancia de una visión integral de los fenómenos y priorizando la inducción por sobre la deducción, se afirma que el desarrollo de energía a partir de biomasa forestal en América Latina requiere conocerse como parte de un proceso más amplio, impulsado desde una alianza pública-privada de actores internacionales, cuyos intereses fueron canalizados a través de la FAO. En Argentina, el desarrollo del programa WISDOM de dicho organismo internacional promovió la inserción de la generación de energía a partir de biomasa en la agenda doméstica en Argentina. Éste fue un antecedente significativo para la elaboración del Proyecto para la promoción de la energía derivada de biomasa (PROBIOMASA), que todavía está siendo implementado.     Abstract: Energy from forest biomass is one of the energy alternatives to fossil fuels that was strengthened after the food crisis. This article analyzes the projections for Argentina in the promotion of this type of energy supported from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). From a Latin American perspective of International Relations that values the importance of a holistic view of the phenomena and prioritizes induction over deduction, this article argues that the development of forest energy in Latin America needs to be considered as a part of a broader process supported by a public-private partnership of international actors that channeled its interests through the FAO. In Argentina, the development of the Woodfuel Integrated Supply/Demand Overview Mapping (WISDOM) by that international organization promoted the integration of energy generation from forest biomass in the domestic agenda in Argentina. In fact, it was a significant antecedent to the elaboration of the Plan Probiomasa, that it is still being implemented.
Autonomía, Tendencias Profundas y Variables Persistentes de la Política Exterior Argentina (2003-2012) / Autonomy, deep trends and persistent variables of Argentina Foreign Policy (2003-2012)
Authors: Bueno María del Pilar
Published: July 2020

Este trabajo se enmarca en la labor del grupo de trabajo del Observatorio de Política Exterior Argentina (OPEA) de la Escuela de Relaciones Internacionales de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario. La contribución tiene la pretensión de otorgar algunas líneas de análisis de la Política Exterior Argentina en el período que se extiende entre 2003 y 2012. Las gestiones del kirchnerismo se han caracterizado por una dinámica de ajuste hacia la profundización de un mismo modelo que somete a la PEA a una relativa irrelevancia e inconsistencia. La irrelevancia surge de la comparación con otras políticas públicas llevadas adelante por los Gobiernos en cuestión. La inconsistencia se basa en una lectura controvertida del contexto internacional, una sobreactuación y una sobrevaloración de la espontaneidad como variable válida para dar respuesta a los cambios acaecidos en el Sistema Internacional. La paradoja de la PEA reside entonces, en que a pesar de existir elementos constantes o variables persistentes en su accionar externo, su política exterior se encuentra sometida a una alta volatilidad.   Abstract: This work is part of the labor developed by the Observatory of Argentina Foreign Policy (OPEA) School of International Relations at the National University of Rosario. The contribution does claim to provide some analyzes of Argentina's foreign policy in the period extending from 2003 to 2012. The Kirchner administrations have been characterized by a dynamic of adjustment and deepening of the same model, leading PEA to relative irrelevance and inconsistency. The irrelevance comes from a comparison with other public policies carried out by the governments concerned. Inconsistency is based on a controversial reading of the international context, overacting and an overestimation of spontaneity as a valid variable to respond to the changes in the International System. The paradox of PEA is that despite the existence of constant elements or persistent variables in its external action, its foreign policy is subject to high volatility.
Do Discurso à Prática: a noção de cidade global e as novas agendas urbanas africanas / From Discourse to Practice: the notion of global city and the new african urban agenda
Authors: Valente da Silva Monise Raquel
Published: July 2020

As modificações espaciais resultantes do fenômeno do capitalismo global se refletem nas cidades e nas agendas governamentais a partir de novas e mais complexas formas de produção e apropriação dos espaços urbanos. As variáveis da relação entre as cidades e o fenômeno global são materializadas em dinâmicas distintas, apostando, sobretudo, no crescimento econômico e na competitividade internacional. A busca por papéis globais de maior relevância e competitividade internacional em termos de investimentos e recebimento de fluxos financeiros faz da noção de “cidade global” mais que um mero elemento discursivo. O presente artigo traz o foco para a realidade urbana do Sul Global, tratando do cenário africano de maneira especial e observando as agendas urbanas de algumas de suas principais cidades. Por meio destas buscamos demonstrar como o conceito de cidade global e os moldes que direcionam os governos africanos são mais que simples instrumentos de um discurso, se constituindo, sobretudo, como pontos de referência às práticas e políticas de configuração dos espaços urbanos. O artigo chama atenção, ainda, à contradição dos projetos de aspiração global, que opõem as dinâmicas de conexão à conformação da fragmentação urbana e desigualdade sócio-espacial, estabelecendo-se de maneira particular nas cidades africanas.  Abstract: The spatial changes resulting from the globalization phenomenon are reflected in cities and government urban agendas as new and more complex forms of production and appropriation of urban spaces. The variables of the relationship between cities and the global phenomenon are embodied in distinct dynamics, focusing mainly on economic growth and international competitiveness. The search for a more relevant part at the global scenario and for international competitiveness in terms of investments and financial flows, makes the notion of "global city" more than a mere discursive element. This article aims to bring our attention to the urban reality of the Global South, focusing specifically at the African scenario and at the urban projects of some of its main cities, in order to demonstrate how the concept of global city that guides African governments is more than a mere discoursive instrument, figuring as reference points to practices and policies for the configuration of urban spaces. The article also draws attention to the contradiction of these “global projects”, reflecting about the opposition of their dynamics of global connection and the conformation of urban fragmentation and sociospatial inequality, specially represented by some of the african cities here presented.
