A cidadania ativa como instrumento de proteção ao assédio de consumo sofrido pelo idoso
Authors: Chaves Carlos Gustavo Chada , Verbicaro Dennis
Published: November 2023

Em um mundo globalizado capitalista, tem-se um maior distanciamento do indivíduo de suas responsabilidades cívicas mais importantes. A cidadania é exercida quase que exclusivamente pelo escrutínio popular, em verdadeiro cenário de valorização das liberdades negativas e descompromisso da participação no processo decisório e defesa dos interesses coletivos mais caros. O presente trabalho propõe que o resgate do empoderamento cívico dos idosos forjado em associações representativas é instrumento importantíssimo de potencialização de sua defesa, enquanto consumidores, inclusive possuindo legitimidade para a propositura de ações coletivas para inibir e cessar eventuais práticas de assédio de consumo. O método a ser utilizado é o dedutivo e a pesquisa será feita em bibliografia e jurisprudência nacionais.
A proteção de dados pessoais sob o olhar do “Grande Irmão”: a ingerência política da ANPD em meio à era da informação
Authors: Andrade Matheus de Lima , Andrade Diogo de Calasans Melo , Rebouças Gabriela Maia
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo se propõe a analisar a constituição e estrutura da Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados a fim de discutir os riscos da interferência política na atuação da ANPD brasileira, em meio ao contexto de vigilância na sociedade de informação e em paralelo com a obra literária 1984, de George Orwell. Utilizando esse horizonte distópico como pano de fundo para demonstrar o impacto da atuação política do Estado no exercício da vigilância, recorreu-se a uma abordagem qualitativa, elaborada a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, para, ao final, concluir que, a ingerência política permitida pela estrutura institucional da ANPD brasileira é prejudicial à sua autonomia funcional, comprometendo a eficácia da Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados e possibilitando a existência de uma sociedade vigiada, comparável à narrativa distópica em cotejo.
A Sociedade de Risco no Estudo Impacto de Vizinhança: uma sociedade marcada por perigos ambientais
Authors: Castro Flávio Barboza , Leal Rogério Gesta
Published: November 2023

Com o acelerado processo de urbanização, a sociedade, juntamente com o Poder Público, deve buscar instrumentos capazes de minimizar os impactos ambientais causados por tal fenômeno. O presente artigo vem com o objetivo de discutir o tema acerca da sociedade de risco, notadamente os reflexos da teoria do sociólogo alemão Ulrich Beck, introduzindo a esse conteúdo o Estudo de Impacto de Vizinhança. Assim, questiona-se: qual é a relevância do Estudo de Impacto de Vizinhança dentro de uma sociedade marcada por riscos? Para dar conta dessa tarefa, utilizar-se-á o método dedutivo e a pesquisa bibliográfica.
A aplicação do conceito de grupo vulnerabilizado a mulheres migrantes: uma perspectiva interseccional.
Authors: Furlan Maria Luiza Favacho , Raiol Raimundo Wilson Gama
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo tem por objetivo defender a aplicação do conceito de grupo vulnerabilizado a mulheres migrantes, a partir de um olhar interseccional sobre a temática, pautando sua argumentação na construção da terminologia grupos vulnerabilizados, para além de grupos vulneráveis e minorias, à medida em que a sociedade e as instituições vulnerabilizam e marginalizam os sujeitos e não suas condições pessoais. Busca-se demonstrar o processo de vulnerabilização de mulheres em situação de migração, considerando o marcador de gênero como fator importante nos fluxos migratórios, à vista da violência de gênero, que diferencia os percursos femininos dos percursos masculinos. Utiliza-se a interseccionalidade como ferramenta teórica e metodológica apta a evidenciar as diversas opressões impostas aos corpos migrantes e femininos, a partir das categorias gênero, raça, etnia e nação. O método de abordagem utilizado foi o método dedutivo e os procedimentos adotados foram a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Concluiu-se que a aplicação do conceito de grupo vulnerabilizado às mulheres em situação de migração é possível, uma vez que a sobreposição das categorias de gênero e de pessoa em deslocamento intensificam as experiências de opressão enfrentadas por essas mulheres quando da migração. Ressalta-se o ineditismo e a originalidade do trabalho, bem como sua relevância social, considerando que a discussão proposta pode contribuir para avanços normativos e para a elaboração de políticas públicas em favor de mulheres em contexto migratório.
O registro da loucura no processo penal: um estudo de caso
Authors: Fernandes Daniel Fonseca
Published: November 2023

O tema desta pesquisa é a produção da verdade judicial nos processos em que os acusados são considerados loucos. O artigo se orienta pelo seguinte problema: como o diagnóstico da loucura do acusado se relaciona com a construção da verdade no processo penal? A partir do método do estudo de caso, foram analisados sete procedimentos que levaram à aplicação de uma medida de segurança a um sujeito, identificado como Lima. A análise de processos judiciais é adotada como técnica de pesquisa documental, compreendendo o processo como arquivo privilegiado para compreensão dos sentidos e práticas que compõem a materialidade do controle punitivo. São analisadas relações do registro da loucura com mecanismos de produção de verdade no processo, desde a narrativa policial até a sentença, destacando as relações entre o diagnóstico e a prática dos atos de instrução processual.
Ethnography of Horse Racing Gamblers’ Lives. Constructing Biographical Narratives in the Process of Interviewing
Authors: Bossak-Herbst Barbara , Głowacka-Grajper Małgorzata
Published: November 2023

In this paper, we analyze the narrative strategies employed by horse racing gamblers in the context of their interactions within interviews. The empirical base consisted of 20 semi-structured interviews conducted with long-term regular gamblers from Warsaw, Poland. First, we state our position in the context of interviews with people aware they may be assessed negatively regarding a very important part of their lives. Second, we discuss how the interlocutors presented their biographies and employed discursive methods of protection against negative interpretation. The research reveals how bettors justify their passion by referring to individual myths about the origins of their interest in gambling. We reveal how bettors consciously employ emotive discursive methods that alleviate the discourse of addiction. Emotions are not presented as triggered by compulsively realized needs but as a result of intellectual passion, pursued by like-minded people joined by a drive for agency.
Migration and Integration of Foreign Priests. Aspirations, Religiosity, and Tensions in the Narratives of Foreign Priests in Italy
Authors: Delli Paoli Angela , Masullo Giuseppe
Published: November 2023

This paper aims to understand the individual factors sustaining the migratory flow of Catholic priests to Italy. Priests’ migration cannot be seen as the mere result of lack of vocations and shortage of priests in the host country since their agency, belief, aspirations, and motivations affect their religious identity and, consequently, their integration and participation in the host country. Drawing on qualitative research, this paper collects the voices and the narratives of selected international priests living in Italy. Priests’ interviews led to broad-range questions about the nature of migration decisions and their integration into the host society and churches that originate from differences in religiosity, vocations, and missions. That resulted in a typology of 4 types of migrant priests: careerist priests, highly educated and integrated into the host country, driven by career and salary aspiration, and showing a highly politicized vision of religion; servant priests, with a strong missionary impulse to serve the Church as a universal institution transcending abstract and real boarders; evangelist priests who feel the moral obligation to evangelize secularized countries to bring them back to the origins of Catholicism; rebel priests who feel second-class priests, discriminated both within and outside the Church, in a country where they were forced to move, for this reason questioning their sense of clear vocational directions.
Edge enhancement of potential field data using the enhanced gradient (EG) filter
Authors: DENİZ TOKTAY Hazel
Published: November 2023

Potential field data play a critical role in interpreting various geologic structural features through edge detection filters that aid in mapping subsurface structural features. For this purpose, various filters have been introduced in recent years to determine lateral boundaries. However, each of these filters has its limitations and advantages. This study presents a new edge enhancement filter named “Enhanced Gradient (EG)” based on the Richards function and applies it to potential field data for structural mapping. The EG is tested on two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) synthetic magnetic models with sources buried at different depths and variable properties. The results from the EG filter provide more accurate and higher resolution horizontal boundaries and can avoid creating the false edges in the output results. In addition, the proposed filter was examined using aeromagnetic data from the Indiana region in the USA. The primary and secondary faults and geological formations are recognizable in the EG image. The results of the EG map will allow us to improve the qualitative interpretation of potential field anomalies in studying the structural and tectonic geology of the Indiana region in the USA.

Authors: Kumar Abhishek , Shabir Mohd. , Gloch Eja , Tiwari Prabhawati , Gaur R. D.
Published: November 2023

The present study deals with the pollen morphology of 15 taxa of the genus Gentiana L. (Gentianaceae). Polleniferous material was collected from different locations of the Western Himalaya (India). Pollen micro-morphological characters were investigated using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). All pollen grains were monad, isopolar and radially symmetrical, medium to minutae in size, sub-prolate to prolate in pollen shape class, 3-zonocolpate to 3-zonocolporate, with usually long tapering colpi. In polar view pollen grains were circular to triangular in outline with obtuse end, while elliptic or occasionally sub-circular in equatorial view. Exine was usually thick, tectate or semitectate. The morphology of the pollen grains exhibited significant variation in exine ornamentation viz. striate, striato-reticulate and reticulate, which is useful to evaluate species delimitations. The study revealed that the pollen characteristics appear to be informative and useful atinter- and intra-specific levels.

Morphology and morphometric diversity of pollen grains of 26 Indian species of Dioscorea L. (Dioscoreaceae)
Authors: Banerjee Debatri , Hoque Akramul , Siddhanta Suchandrima , Ghosh Biswarupa , Maity Debabrata
Published: November 2023

Pollen morphology of 26 species of Dioscorea collected from different regions of India was examined critically under LM and SEM to explore their unique features. Pollen grains were monad, isopolar, small to medium-sized (11.3â€“31 Âµm). Peroblate, oblate, suboblate and oblate spheroidal (P/E=0.41â€“0.90) pollen shape, mono and bi-sulcate aperture type and psilate, reticulate, rugulose, strito-reticulate, reticulate-rugulose, punctate and striate exine ornamentation were believed to be some of the important characters for differentiation of closely related species in this studied genus. The comprehensive qualitative and quantitative characters of the pollen grains served as reliable features in taxonomical studies. The observed data were analyzed using PCA and hierarchical clustering to obtain a steady relationship and grouping of the observed species. Histograms, pie chart and bar graph were performed to enumerate the distribution of the quantitative data of various attributes (long axis, short equatorial axis, pollen shape and aperture length). Correlation scatter plot along with density graph helped to understand the interrelationship amongst the studied taxa.

Aprender a ensinar voleibol
Authors: Parente Thomás Augusto , Impolcetto Fernanda Moreto
Published: November 2023

Objetivo: O objetivo do estudo foi analisar as ementas das disciplinas de voleibol ou equivalentes dos cursos de graduação em Educação Física, Esporte ou Ciências do Esporte das Universidades Públicas do estado de São Paulo. Método: Para isso foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa documental sobre às ementas das disciplinas de voleibol dos cursos de graduação de quatro Universidades localizadas no estado de São Paulo, divididas em oito unidades e que oferecem 10 disciplinas sobre a modalidade. Tal levantamento foi realizado no primeiro semestre do ano de 2022. Foram analisados os objetivos (gerais e específicos) e conteúdo programático das disciplinas por meio do software IRAMUTEQ para análises textuais e apresentados por meio de duas ferramentas disponibilizadas: a) nuvem de palavras; e b) análise de similitude. Resultados e discussões: Percebe-se que, ainda, uma tendência de desenvolvimento das habilidades motoras necessárias para se jogar, em que o foco está no ensino dos fundamentos, e nos sistemas táticos, ou de jogo, utilizados em equipes. Em contrapartida, é possível indicar alguns processos de mudanças, visto que se consideram aspectos históricos, culturais, sociais e pedagógicos. Na tentativa de identificar um perfil da formação inicial para atuar com voleibol, percebe-se um viés voltado ao saber fazer e possibilidades de avançar para outros aspectos do esporte, para compreendê-lo como fenômeno social e moderno. Considerações finais: Entende-se que são necessários avanços nessa proposta, contudo, indica-se a realização de outros tipos de formação, complementares aos cursos de graduação, para ofertar diferentes tipos de conteúdo, na possibilidade de serem inseridos nas práticas profissionais.
Uma análise descritiva sobre os cursos superiores de formação de professores de Matemática no Brasil
Authors: Sousa Alex Rodrigo dos Santos
Published: November 2023

Introdução: O estudo da evolução de indicadores acerca de cursos superiores é fundamental para o monitoramento da qualidade de ensino, demanda por cursos e detecção de tendências nas diversas áreas. Objetivo: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo descrever quantitativamente os cursos superiores de formação de professores de Matemática no Brasil por meio de indicadores como os números de cursos, matrículas, concluintes, ingressos e vagas ofertadas no período de 2009 a 2021 por modalidade de ensino (presencial e a distância) e por categoria administrativa (pública e privada). Metodologia: Com base em uma metodologia descritiva e quantitativa, foram utilizados os Censos da Educação Superior do INEP no período considerado para extração do conjunto de dados analisados e técnicas estatísticas descritivas como gráficos e tabelas são aplicadas, além de ajustes por regressão linear simples para estimar o crescimento (decrescimento) médio anual dos indicadores. Resultados: Constatou-se nas análises que os cursos presenciais das instituições públicas dominam a área em termos de números de cursos e matrículas. Além disso, o setor privado tem apresentado evolução em sentidos opostos quanto a modalidade de ensino. Nesta categoria, os cursos presenciais de formação de professores em Matemática estão em abrupta queda nos indicadores considerados ao passo que os cursos a distância estão aumentando consideravelmente, superando inclusive os cursos presenciais de instituições públicas em número de concluintes. Conclusão: Apesar da dominância dos cursos presenciais de instituições públicas, os cursos na modalidade a distância de instituições particulares têm apresentado consideráveis aumentos em termos dos números de matrículas e concluintes.
Análise do perfil dos professores do ensino superior brasileiro de 2010 a 2019
Authors: Marques Felipe Tumenas
Published: November 2023

Introdução: Nos últimos anos, o Brasil experimentou um significativo aumento no ensino superior, tanto em termos de quantidade de instituições quanto de estudantes matriculados. Nesse contexto, esse crescimento poderia ser o vetor de mudanças não apenas no perfil dos estudantes, mas também no perfil dos docentes. Objetivo: Este artigo tem como objetivo trazer uma panorama geral sobre os professores do ensino superior no Brasil nos últimos anos. Método: Análise descritiva dos microdados do Censo da Educação Superior de 2010 a 2019. Resultados: Durante esse período, houve um aumento no número de docentes, mas também um aumento na quantidade de alunos por professor. Apesar do crescimento do ensino superior privado, os professores de instituições públicas passaram a ser a maioria dos docentes no país. Uma fonte desse crescimento em instituições públicas foram os Institutos Federais. Além disso, houve pouca mudança no perfil dos professores, sendo ainda predominantemente de raça branca e com um equilíbrio entre sexos. Houve um aumento nas médias de idade e de titulação e uma diminuição na proporção de professores que nasceram no mesmo estado da instituição onde trabalham, o que poderia indicar uma diminuição na endogenia acadêmica. Por fim, a permanência dos professores na mesma instituição é, em média, cerca de 85% de um ano para o outro e mais de 80% dos professores têm apenas um vínculo empregatício dentro do ensino superior. Conclusão: Apesar das grandes mudanças ocorridas nos últimos anos, houve pouca mudança no perfil dos docentes no ensino superior.
Analysis of Indonesia’s National Food Estate Programme from a Food Sovereignty-based Perspective
Authors: Siborutorop Jonathan
Published: November 2023

This study examines the food estate “strategic national programme” implemented by the Indonesian national government in two regions: Humbang Hasundutan Regency in North Sumatra and Gunung Mas Regency in Central Kalimantan. Using a qualitative research method by examining previous research work on the concept of food sovereignty and food security, and by studying mass media coverage regarding the national food estate programme, this study aims to scrutinise Indonesia’s national food estate programme through a critical lens based on the ideas of food sovereignty as expounded in the 2007 Declaration of Nyéléni and examines whether the national food estate programme was designed and executed in line with the principles of food sovereignty as outlined in the Declaration. This study finds that the Indonesian government did not take into consideration the principles and practices of food sovereignty as outlined in the Declaration of Nyéléni, instead primarily relying on a conventional use of the food security approach in the execution of the national food estate programme in Humbang Hasundutan and Gunung Mas regencies, with significant consequences such as environmental degradation, economic impacts, and sociocultural and political disruptions felt by local producers and indigenous communities in regions affected by the national food estate programme.

Meanwhile, there is one dependent variable: Voting Behavior in the 2020 Sidoarjo election (Y). Using quantitative methods and is included in the explanatory research category, and based on three voting behavior theory: sociological approach (Columbia school, psychologica approach (Michigan school), and rational approach. There were 100 respondents spread across all districts (18 districts) in Sidoarjo. From the results of the research and statistical analysis carried out, it is known that three supporting party variables (X1), Group Association (X2), and Candidate Competency (X3) are related to Voting Behavior in the 2020 Sidoarjo election (Y). In addition, it is known that voters for candidate number one (BHS-Taufiq) are more likely to be driven by the candidate’s competency variable, while voters for candidate number two (Mudhlor-Subandi) are more driven by party giver variables and group ties.
Net Energy Gain from a Berry Geometrical Phase: Low-Energy Perturbations of the Strong Interaction and the QCD Mass Gap
Authors: Gibbons Mark
Published: November 2023

A Berry geometrical phase is identified in a strongly metastable system containing dynamically responsive clathrate hydrate structures within a crystal-fluid material. High energy degeneracy in the associated chemistry produces local stability and false vacuum conditions that lead to non-extensive and non-additive contributions in the fundamental thermodynamic relation. The reciprocating action of a piston expander confirms a net energy gain despite the crystal-fluid material maintaining almost constant density. The property of asymptotic freedom is uncovered in the associated condensed matter and quantum mechanical descriptions providing evidence for scale-invariance that dominates both the macro- and micro-scales of an associated Ginzburg-Landau superconducting phase transition. Application of Ginzburg-Landau theory and the scaling laws reveal a coherence length and a penetration depth for a macro-scale dual superconductor. The coherence length determines non-extensive volume changes whilst its inverse gives the Higgs mass. The penetration depth determines the extent of QCD vacuum suppression whilst its inverse gives the vector boson mass together with its indirect manifestation as non-additive hyperbolic curvature. External pressure perturbations of the low-energy system initiate ‘rolling’ critical responses that see energy and momentum conserved across a synchronized U(2) symmetry group whilst a complex gauge field is also exposed. Simultaneous emergence of the Ginzburg-Landau superconducting phase transition is consistent with gauge-invariant coupling of this scalar field to the Yang-Mills action of QCD. The discovery of an energy gap in the gradient energy term of the system Lagrangian is associated with a critical correlation length revealed in the transition from a gapped to a gapless superconducting state. Together with the emergence and absorption of the Higgs-like scalar field, a mechanism for describing the QCD mass gap arises.

Cellular Automata and Boolean Networks are generalizations of one another because algorithms to compute the preimage of cellular automata reveal the underlying network, i.e., the global dynamics in terms of the basins of attraction. Therefore, we hypothesize we can reveal the local dynamics of cellular automata from the basin of attraction of an inferred boolean network. Our motivation was the observation that human keratinocytes and melanoma can stick together to form clusters after eight days in co-culture. This cluster formation would be the attractor of population dynamics, and cell seeding would be the initial condition of the basin of attraction. Hence, we propose a method to estimate the rules of cellular automata, which consist of comparing the density states within each state transition and reaching a consensus among state transitions belonging to a basin of attraction. Therefore, we aim: (1) to infer a boolean network from the \emph{in vitro} co-culture growth curve; (2) to estimate the rules of cellular automata; and (3) to implement a cellular automata for spatial dynamics simulations. The binarization of the growth curve shows high population density after four days; the estimated cellular automata rules were compatible with cell proliferation and migration in agreement with experimental observations. Spatial dynamics shows that: (1) keratinocytes exhibit higher density in neighborhoods where melanoma is present; (2) the chance of keratinocyte migration increases until the fourth day, but the probability of survival increases; and (3) space is freed for cells with maximum proliferation capacity through proliferation compensated by death. Our approach suggests that the attractor state of cell co-culture would be induced by an increase in keratinocyte migration and survival, as well as the balance of proliferation and death concerning melanoma. Our approach has the potential to offer valuable clues about microenvironmental interactions or configurations that drive population dynamics.
The Impact on Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Rice Cultivation under Alternate Wetting and Drying and the System of Rice Intensification
Authors: Dahlgreen James , Parr Adam
Published: November 2023

Rice provides ~20% of human dietary energy and, for many people, a similar share of their protein. Rice cultivation, however, produces significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, comparable to those from the aviation sector. The main GHG from rice production is methane, mostly a result of conventional rice cultivation (CRC) keeping rice fields continuously flooded during the crop cycle. There is extensive evidence that alternate wetting and drying (AWD) of rice fields substantially reduces methane emissions. AWD is one component of the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), an agroecological approach to the management of plants, water, soil and nutrients practiced by millions of farmers in both lowland irrigated rice and upland rainfed cultivation. Thirteen countries have included SRI in their Nationally Determined Contributions to GHG reduction or climate change mitigation. This article reviews 16 field studies of the net reduction in GHG emissions from the adoption of AWD, eight from the adoption of SRI, and two that compared SRI and AWD. Where available, the review includes data on yield and therefore on carbon dioxide-equivalent GHG emissions per kilogram of rice produced. The evidence indicates that AWD and SRI offer a similar and substantial reduction (~35–41%) in GHG emissions per hectare compared with conventional rice cultivation. However, SRI offers ~66% greater yield than CRC, and therefore greater reduction in emissions per kilogram of rice, ~54% more than AWD. The limited data directly comparing SRI and AWD support this finding. SRI also appears to have greater potential to sequester carbon in the soil. SRI lowers rice farmers’ costs of production, adds to their income and can make climate-friendly methods more attractive. Both AWD and SRI are greatly preferable to current conventional practices, but SRI offers opportunities to contribute to food security while directly addressing the drivers of climate change.

Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a major concern in patients undergoing chemotherapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL); however, the overall risk of FN is difficult to assess. This study aimed to develop a model for predicting the occurrence of FN in patients with DLBCL. In this multicenter, retrospective, observational analysis, a multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between FN incidence and pretreatment clinical factors. We included adult inpatients and outpatients (aged ≥ 18 years) diagnosed with DLBCL who were treated with chemotherapy. The study examined 246 patients. Considering FN occurring during the first cycle of chemotherapy as the primary outcome, a predictive model with a total score of 5 points was constructed as follows: 1 point each for viral hepatitis, extranodal involvement, and a high level of soluble interleukin-2 receptor and 2 points for lymphopenia. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of this model was 0.844 (95% confidence interval: 0.777–0.911). Our predictive model can assess the risk of FN before patients with DLBCL start chemotherapy, leading to better outcomes.

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an essential legume crop providing healthy and nutritious food for people in low- to middle-income countries, worldwide. Lentil roots support symbiotic interactions with soil rhizobia species fostering nitrogen fixation; however, assemblage and diversity of the complete microbial rhizosphere community and the effect of seed genotype and origin remains largely unexplored. In this study we examined with metagenomic analysis, the effects of seed origin on the rhizosphere’s communities in samples of the famous Greek lentil landrace Eglouvis derived from different local farmers and farming systems including a Gene Bank sample, in comparison to a commercial variety. The landrace exhibited higher rhizosphere microbiome diversity compared to the commercial variety for all indexes. A core microbiome comprised of 158 taxa was present in all samples, while higher number of unique bacterial taxa was recorded in the landrace samples compared to the commercial cultivar. Noteworthy, landrace samples originated from organic farming had more than double unique taxa compared to conventional counterparts. The study revealed higher diversity of N2 fixers and archaea, Crenarchaeota and Thaumarchaeota, in landrace samples and particularly in those derived from organic farming, underpinning the distinct recruiting efficiency of beneficial soil microbes by the landrace.

Whole blood viscosity, a hemorheological factor, is currently used for diagnosis, as it is correlated with various vascular diseases that are difficult to diagnose early with a general blood test. It was determined that it was necessary to set reference intervals for further studies and utilization of whole blood viscosity in cats, a representative companion animal, and this study was conducted. 50 healthy cats were recruited for the study and whole blood viscosity, complete blood count, and serum chemistry tests were performed. The reference intervals of whole blood viscosity were 15.169 to 43.684 cP at a shear rate of 1 s-1 reflecting diastole, and 3.524 to 5.544 cP at a shear rate of 300 s-1 reflecting systole. Red blood cells, hematocrit, hemoglobin, white blood cells, and neutrophils in the complete blood count, and total protein, albumin, globulin, and cholesterol in the serum chemistry were significantly correlated with whole blood viscosity. The results of this study set reference intervals of whole blood viscosity for healthy cats in a wide shear rate range that has not yet been fully established and investigated its correlation with other blood indicators.

The decompensation trajectory check is a basic step to assess the clinical course and to plan future therapy in hospitalized patients with acute heart failure (ADHF). Due to the atypical presentation and clinical complexity, trajectory checks can be challenging in the oldest old patients with acute HF. Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) proved to be helpful in the clinical decision-making of patients with dyspnea, but no study has attempted to verify its effectiveness in predicting determinants of HF in-hospital worsening. In this single-center prospective study, we consecutively enrolled patients aged 75 or older hospitalized with acutely decompensated HF in a tertiary care hospital. All the patients underwent complete clinical examination, blood tests, and POCUS including Lung Ultrasound, Focused Cardiac Ultrasound, Pleural Effusion score (PEFs), and Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) assessment. Out of 184 patients hospitalized with ADHF enrolled in the study, sixty experienced HF in-hospital worsening. No differences were found among patients with HF worsening and controls in terms of age, gender, frailty, and left ventricular ejection fraction. By multivariable logistic analysis, total PEFs [aOR: 1.15 (CI95% 1.02– 1.33), p = 0.043], and IVC collapsibility [aOR: 0.90 (CI95% 0.83 – 0.95), p = 0.039] emerged as independent predictors of acute HF worsening after extensive adjustment for potential confounders.
DPH1 Gene Mutations Identify a Candidate SAM Pocket in Radical Enzyme Dph1•Dph2 for Diphthamide Synthesis on EF2

In eukaryotes, the Dph1•Dph2 dimer is a non-canonical radical SAM enzyme. Using iron-sulfur (FeS) clusters, it cleaves the cosubstrate S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM) to form a 3-amino-3-carboxy-propyl (ACP) radical for synthesis of diphthamide. The latter decorates a histidine residue on elongation factor 2 (EF2) conserved from archaea to yeast and humans and is important for accurate mRNA translation and protein synthesis. Guided by evidence from archaeal orthologues, we searched for a putative SAM binding pocket in Dph1•Dph2 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We predict a SAM binding pocket near the FeS cluster domain that is conserved across eukaryotes in Dph1 but not Dph2. Site-directed DPH1 mutagenesis and functional characterization by assays diagnostic for loss of diphthamide reveal the SAM pocket is essential for synthesis of the décor on EF2 in vivo. Further evidence from structural modeling suggests particularly critical residues close to the methionine moiety of SAM. Presumably, they facilitate a geometry specific for SAM cleavage and ACP radical formation that distinguishes Dph1•Dph2 from classical radical SAM enzymes, which generate canonical 5′-deoxyadenosyl (dAdo) radicals.
