Visual cognition in humans has traditionally been studied with cognitive behavioral methods and brain imaging, but much less with genetic methods. Perceptual rivalry, an important phenomenon in visual cognition, is the spontaneous perceptual alternation that occurs between two distinct interpretations of a physically constant visual stimulus (e.g., binocular rivalry stimuli) or a perceptually ambiguous stimulus (e.g., the Necker cube). The switching rate varies dramatically across individuals and can be voluntarily modulated by observers. Here, we adopted a genomic approach to systematically investigate the genetics underlying binocular rivalry, Necker cube rivalry and voluntary modulation of Necker cube rivalry in young Chinese adults (Homo sapiens, 81% female, 20 ± 1 years old) at multiple levels, including common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based heritability estimation, SNP-based genome-wide association study (GWAS), gene-based analysis, and pathway analysis. We performed a pilot GWAS in 2441 individuals and replicated it in an independent cohort of 943 individuals. Common SNP-based heritability was estimated to be 25% for spontaneous perceptual rivalry. SNPs rs184765639 and rs75595941 were associated with voluntary modulation, and imaging data suggested genotypic difference of rs184765639 in the surface area of the left caudal-middle frontal cortex. Additionally, converging evidence from multilevel analyses associated genes such asPRMT1with perceptual switching rate, andMIR1178with voluntary modulation strength. In summary, this study discovered specific genetic contributions to perceptual rivalry and its voluntary modulation in human beings. These findings may promote our understanding of psychiatric disorders, as perceptual rivalry is a potential psychiatric biomarker.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTPerceptual rivalry is an important visual phenomenon in which our perception of a physically constant visual input spontaneously switches between two different states. There are individual variations in perceptual switching rate and voluntary modulation strength. Our genomic analyses reveal several loci associated with these two kinds of variation. Because perceptual rivalry is thought to be relevant to and potentially an endophenotype for psychiatric disorders, these results may help understand not only visual cognition, but also psychiatric disorders.

Ditongos orais e seus processos evolutivos na história do Português
Authors: Carvalho Maria José S. Pereira
Published: September 2018

Através do estudo de um corpus medieval (Carvalho 2017), analisam-se, neste artigo, alguns fenómenos de variação e de mudança envolvidos na trajetória histórica dos ditongos decrescentes orais (primários ou secundários) [aw], [aj], [ej] e [ow], salientando-se alguns processos de manutenção, fechamento, redução e criação, no seu percurso evolutivo. Mostra-se como, em algumas unidades lexicais, os ditongos se mantiveram durante todo o período medieval, afastando-se da norma atual (contrauto, p. ex.) e, em outros casos, se registou tardiamente a tendência para a redução, mesmo em formas hoje ditas cultas, que o vieram a recuperar (clasula, p. ex.). Apresentam-se, igualmente, fenómenos de variação -airo/-ario, que poderão contribuir para a complexificação da noção de “cultismo”, bem como casos de mudança irreversível, com balizas cronológicas precisas, em formas proparoxítonas (sabham > saibam). No caso de [ej] e [ow], serão fornecidas numerosas abonações que contribuem para fazer recuar a cronologia da monotongação para três ou quatro séculos relativamente à que é referida por Paul Teyssier (1980). Referir-nos-emos, igualmente, à variação oi ~ ui (froyto ~ fruito, por exemplo), existente no galego comum mas com marcos cronológicos delineados (a favor de ui > u), na nossa coleção. Mostraremos, finalmente, que casos de antecipação de semivogal w (augua) bem como de redução no ditongo crescente wa (agardar), que caracterizam o galego bem como algumas variedades sociais do português, se encontram igualmente representadas nos documentos da zona centro-litoral portuguesa em causa.

Activismo artístico como nueva herramienta sindical de jóvenes trabajadores precarizados en Argentina
Authors: Adamini Marina
Published: September 2018

Desde las ciencias sociales del trabajo, resulta un consenso señalar que el avance de la precarización laboral genera un desafío para las organizaciones sindicales tradicionales, por la segmentación que genera en la clase trabajadora, en relación a sus condiciones y demandas de trabajo y por la dificultad de representar a aquellos trabajadores que se encuentran trabajando en condiciones no registradas e informales. En este marco, nuestro trabajo se propone reflexionar sobre las nuevas formas de acción colectiva que establecen los jóvenes trabajadores precarizados, frente a estas limitaciones del sindicalismo tradicional para canalizar sus luchas. Nuestra hipótesis de trabajo es que, ante la falta de acceso a la representación sindical tradicional y a sus mecanismos formales de negociación y de lucha, los precarizados recurren a repertorios de acción alternativos para dar visibilidad a sus luchas e instalar en la arena política sus demandas. Uno de estos repertorios es el activismo artístico, que consiste en la utilización de imágenes, canciones y actuaciones como canal de denuncia y protesta sobre sus problemáticas laborales. Es sobre este repertorio de acción no convencional en el mundo del trabajo donde centramos nuestro análisis, el cual ganó un gran lugar en las recientes movilizaciones de jóvenes precarizados en Argentina. En términos metodológicos cualitativos, realizamos un estudio de caso cualitativo sobre tres organizaciones de jóvenes precarizados argentinos que aplicaron el activismo artístico en sus jornadas de protesta, en el período 2005-2015, buscando comprender su emergencia como nuevo repertorio gremial.

Learning from Artificial Intelligence's Previous Awakenings: The History of Expert Systems
Authors: Brock David C.
Published: September 2018

Much of the contemporary moment's enthusiasms for and commercial interests in artificial intelligence, specificially machine learning, are prefigured in the experience of the artificial intelligence community concerned with expert systems in the 1970s and 1980s. This essay is based on an invited panel on the history of expert systems at the AAAI‐17 conference, featuring Ed Feigenbaum, Bruce Buchanan, Randall Davis, and Eric Horvitz. It argues that artifical intelligence communities today have much to learn from the way that earlier communities grappled with the issues of intelligibility and instrumentality in the study of intelligence.

On Reproducible AI: Towards Reproducible Research, Open Science, and Digital Scholarship in AI Publications
Authors: Gundersen Odd Erik , Gil Yolanda , Aha David W.
Published: September 2018

Artificial intelligence, like any science, must rely on reproducible experiments to validate results. Our objective is to give practical and pragmatic recommendations for how to document AI research so that results are reproducible. Our analysis of the literature shows that AI publications currently fall short of providing enough documentation to facilitate reproducibility. Our suggested best practices are based on a framework for reproducibility and recommendations for best practices given by scientific organizations, scholars, and publishers. We have made a reproducibility checklist based on our investigation and described how every item in the checklist can be documented by authors and examined by reviewers. We encourage authors and reviewers to use the suggested best practices and author checklist when considering submissions for AAAI publications and conferences.
Stabilisation of α′ dicalcium silicate in calcium sulfoaluminate clinker
Authors: Elhoweris Ammar , Galan Isabel , Glasser Fredrik P.
Published: September 2018

Calcium sulfoaluminate cements are widely used as special cements and, because of their low specific carbon dioxide emissions relative to those of Portland cement, they have potential for use in general construction. However, their widespread application has been limited by the relatively high cost of aluminous raw materials. As part of a broad programme on the optimisation of these cements, the clinker mineralogy was reformulated to enhance the activity and strength contribution of the silicate phases. Preservation of the α′ dicalcium silicate phase to ambient is described in this paper. Commercially available raw materials and reagent-grade chemicals were used and clinker syntheses were conducted. Preservation of the α-belite phase to ambient temperature was achieved by a combination of chemical doping with control of the furnace atmosphere and fast cooling of the clinker. A clinker with α′-belite, ye'elimite and ferrite can be optimised to create a new generation of low-cost sulfoaluminate cements with improved performance and large potential energy savings relative to Portland cement.
Design of self-desiccating binders using CSA cement: influence of the cement composition and sulfate source
Authors: Cau Dit Coumes Céline , Farcy Oriane , Antonucci Pascal , Champenois Jean-Bapiste , Lambertin David , Mesbah Adel
Published: September 2018

Calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cements with high ye'elimite content are of interest for the production of self-desiccating binders. In this work, the influence of cement composition and calcium sulfate source on the content of water bound by hydration was investigated, with the future goal of designing non-expansive materials with a dry internal environment. A thermodynamic approach was used first. Ten cement compositions were prepared by blending a CSA clinker comprising 54·3% ye'elimite and 29·1% belite with anhydrite and calcium oxide, respectively, within the ranges 80–95%, 5–20% and 0–15%. Cement suspensions (water/cement ratio (w/c) = 6) were maintained under stirring at 20°C for 1 month. The cement comprising 80% clinker and 20% anhydrite led to the highest contents of ettringite and bound water, which was simulated well by thermodynamic calculations. A kinetic study was then performed on cement pastes (w/c = 0·5 or 0·6), with the cement comprising 80% clinker and 20% calcium sulfate (introduced as anhydrite or gypsum). The addition of gypsum, which dissolves faster than anhydrite, led to the rapid formation of a dense microstructure, which tended to limit the progress of hydration at later age. With anhydrite, higher hydration degrees were reached and specimens cured in a wet or dry environment exhibited smaller volume changes.
On the heat of formation of ye'elimite Ca4Al6O12.SO4 using density functional theory
Authors: Pisch Alexander , Pasturel Alain
Published: September 2018

The heat of formation of ye'elimite Ca4Al6O12.SO4 was calculated using density functional theory (DFT). The crystallographic ground state of ye'elimite is the orthorhombic Pcc2 modification in agreement with experimental information. Three different many-body interaction functionals were used for DFT calculations: the generalised gradient approximation (GGA), the Armiento/Mattsson 2005 functional (AM05) and the strongly conditioned and appropriately normed functional (Scan). The best results were obtained with the Scan functional and a heat of formation at 298 K of −35·5 kJ/mol referred to pure calcium oxide (CaO), aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and calcium sulfate (CaSO4) was found. All other reported modifications of ye'elimite (cubic, tetragonal, monoclinic) are unstable with endothermic heat of transformations ranging from +18 to +78 kJ/mol.

Authors: Szot Tomasz , Specht Cezary , Specht Mariusz , Dabrowski Pawel
Published: September 2018

Nowadays smartphones are widely used multifunction devices that also serve as a personal navigation tool, using the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver contained in them. Manufacturers of these devices, depending on a model or series, install different GNSS receivers on them. Precise positioning via phone GNSS modules depends decisively on their capacity to be used in numerous applications, especially those widely used in navigation or sport activities. The purpose of this study was to assess the predictable accuracy of GNSS receivers mounted on Samsung Galaxy smartphones. The following models were used in the research: Y, S3 Mini, S4, S5, S6, S7, which (antennas) coordinates were determined by geodetic methods, and their use was carried out in a 24-hour measurement campaign consisting of parallel recording of the position coordinates by all phones. Estimates were delivered for: 71 438 - 86 371 positions depending on the model. The results of the study are based on commonly used statistical measures of positioning accuracy: root mean squared (RMS), distance root mean squared (DRMS), doubled distance root mean squared (2DRMS), circular error probability (CEP), spherical error probability (SEP), R68 and R95. In addition, significant differences in accuracy between the Galaxy S4 and S5, as well as S6 and S7 models were noted due to different GNSS modules used in them.

Instruction Protocols: Moral Licensing, Instrumental Apology and Insincerity Aversion: Taking Immanuel Kant to the Lab v1
Authors: Khalil Elias , Feltovich Nick
Published: September 2018

Moral licensing or, what is equivalently called, “self-licensing” is the use of a Good Act instrumentally: to cover up a Bad Act. This paper’s thesis is that moral licensing is inextricably the same as “instrumental apology,” i.e., bad-faith apology. For instance, a decision maker may issue an apology (Good Act) after committing a Bad Act. But if the decision maker uses the apology instrumentally, he or she is using the apology to justify the Bad Act and, hence, the apology is insincere. Sincerity is the fine line between good-faith apology or, more generally, Good Act, on one hand, and instrumental apology or, more generally, moral licensing, on the other. According to Kantian ethics, the sincerity behind an act, and not just the consequence, matters. This pits Kant against the utilitarian view, which downplays intentions, and focuses on consequences. We take Kant to the lab. Participants play a modified ultimatum game, where proposers in some treatments have the option to issue apology messages, and responders have both costly and costless options for rewarding or punishing. We introduce different treatments of the apology message to allow for responders to form doubt about the sincerity of the apology messages. Our results support the Kantian position: responders exhibit “insincerity aversion” by punishing proposers, when such punishment is costless to them, once they become suspicious of the sincerity of the apology of the proposers.

Intellectual abilities of adolescents and qualitative characteristics of their social argumentation
Authors: Smirnova O.M. , Belova S.S.
Published: September 2018

The article focuses on the issue of relation of general and social intelligence and illustrates it by the results of correlational study of adolescents’ intelligence and quality of their social argumentation. It was revealed that it is verbal intelligence, not a non-verbal one, that forms correlations with argumentation qualities. These correlations could be productive as well as counter-productive with respect to the quality of social discussion. The obtained results are considered within the context of discussion about general and social intelligence balance with the focus on the functional role of verbal intelligence in social cognition. They are regarded as the starting points for the development of social competence educational programs for adolescents
Aesthetic responsiveness in Russian and Azerbaijani youths
Authors: Sabadosh P.A.
Published: September 2018

Various aspects of construct validity of the Russian version of the Engagement with Beauty Scale (EBS 2.0) questionnaire was assessed using data of two previous studies conducted on convenient student samples: Russian (n = 183) and Azerbaijani (n = 99). Confirmatory factor analysis of multitrait-multimethod model provided evidence of EBS' good convergent and discriminant validity. The cross-cultural measurement invariance of the EBS factors was confirmed which allowed to compare indicators of two groups. No significant differences were found in the level of responsiveness to beauty between Russian and Azerbaijani youths. Generally girls scored higher than boys did, mostly on the natural and artistic beauty subscales. Russian young people in comparison to Azerbaijani ones displayed significantly stronger gender differences in general factor of engagement with beauty. The results didn’t show dependence on the age of respondents
A special excitation system for analysis of coupling characteristics of thrust and levitation force of maglev train
Authors: Rao Jian , Wang Ke , Wang Boyu , Ge Qiongxuan , Shi Liming , Li Yaohua
Published: September 2018

Background: In the maglev train propelled by long stator linear synchronous motor (LSLSM), the thrust characteristics are one of important points to evaluate the performance of the system. However, coupling effect exists between the propulsion and levitation system. Therefore, the interference from the levitation system must be considered when the propulsion system is designed.
Aim: The article focus on the analysis of coupling characteristics of thrust and levitation force of maglev train, and a special excitation system is designed for the study.
Methods: In order to study the thrust performance under the fluctuating air gap field under laboratory conditions, a rotating synchronous motor has been designed to imitate the long stator linear synchronous motor applied in high speed maglev train. And a special excitation system is designed for the rotating synchronous motor, which can simulate the fluctuation of the exciting current during the actual operation of maglev train. The air gap of the rotating synchronous motor is kept as constant, and the fluctuating excitation current is added to the excitation winding of the rotating synchronous motor, thus the simulation of air gap magnetic field variation is achieved.
Results: The special excitation system of the experimental motor is introduced in detail.
Conclusion: The relationship between thrust and levitation force of long stator linear synchronous motor (LSLSM) in maglev train is strong coupling, non-linear, and dynamic. Complete decoupling of thrust and levitation force is not easy to be achieved. The experimental platform has been built to study the coupling characteristics of thrust and levitation force of maglev train.

Methods: We use the method of perforating the shell of the head part of the passenger capsule is used, the movement of which is carried out by a linear electric motor with a stator winding located on the pipe.
Results: As the research showed at a speed of about 500 km/h for the creation of vacuum we will spend more energy than overcoming the friction of the capsule on air. Therefore the density of air in the pipe can be lowered only by 1.5–2 times.
Conclusion: The construction of the vacuum-levitating transport in Russia is reasonable and justified economically but only among the densely populated centers, i.e. mainly in the European part of Russia.

Published: September 2018

Tillage is one of the

most important agronomical practices especially for plant height (PH), grain

yield (GY) and yield components in wheat production. This study was carried out

in 2007–08 and 2008–09 growing seasons in

Kahramanmaras, Turkey, to investigate

response of five wheat cultivars (Adana, Ceyhan, Dogankent, Menemen and

Yuregir) to conventional (CT) and reduced tillage (RT) systems after cotton

harvest for PH, number of fertile

spikes per m2 (SM), spike length (SL), number of fertile spikelets

spike–1 (SS), number of grains spike–1

(GS), 1000–kernel

weight (KW) and GY components.

The soil was ploughed at a depth of 25–30 cm in CT system, while it was not

used in RT. The results indicated that all traits had greater values in 2008–09 than in 2007–08 except KW and GY. The tillage

systems significantly affected

PH, SM, SL, SS, GS and GY

except KW. Over the two years,

values of all traits in CT were higher than those of  RT. There

was a significant and positive correlation for GY, SS, GS and KW between CT and

RT. The cultivars were affected by year and tillage system. Dogankent

cultivar had better performance and stable for most of the traits compared to

others under CT and RT in both years. 
Multiple shoot regeneration of an important equatorial forage plant Indigofera zollingeriana Miq.
Authors: ÖZEL Çiğdem Alev , MAESAROH Siti
Published: September 2018

Indigofera zollingeriana is an important protein rich

forage   and dye plant species that grows

widely in Indonesia. It is difficult to propagate the plant through seeds due

to high dormancy. Therefore, there is need to develop both in vitro and ex vitro propagation techniques of I. zollingeriana. This study aimed to develop a protocol for multiple

shoot regeneration of the plant under in

vitro conditions using different combinations of   BAP+0.01 mg/L NAA. The results showed that both epigeal and cotyledon node

explants have high potential to regenerate with maximum number of regenerated

shoots noted on the epigeal and the cotyledon node explants

using MS medium containing 1.5 mg/L BAP + 0.01 mg/L of NAA and 1.0 mg/L BAP +

0.01 mg/L of NAA in the same order. The shoots regenerated on all combinations

of BAP+NAA were rooted using 0.5 mg/L IBA that promoted rooting in effective

manner. The rooted plants were easily acclimatized to external conditions in an

environmental chamber. The results suggest that I. zollengriana plant species is no more difficult to regenerate

under in vitro conditions. This research

will aid in future studies related to breeding, propagation, biosynthesis

and extraction of active

compounds.

Preliminary results on the feeding and gut content of Flaccisagitta enflata in coastal areas of İskenderun Bay (northeastern Mediterranean Sea)
Authors: TERBIYIK KURT Tuba
Published: September 2018

In this study, it was aimed to characterize the feeding and diet composition of the most common pelagic chaetognath Flaccisagitta enflata. Zooplankton samples were collected using a WP-2 zooplankton net (200 µm) at three stations in the İskenderun Bay in October 2016, December 2016 and March 2017. F. enflata was the most abundant chaetognath in all samples and its proportion varied from 42 to 94%. Younger stages (I and II) dominated the population of F. enflata. In total, 1663 specimens were examined, but only 185 contained prey in their guts. The total food-containing ratio and the number of prey items for this chaetognath species were 11% and 0.1, respectively. These values varied for different maturity stages. Most food items were unidentified due to digestion. Copepods were the main food resource (36.8%) for the species. Cannibalism was also observed. This study is the first to describe F. enflata feeding behaviour in the coastal area of İskenderun Bay. The preliminary results show that the feeding ratios were within the ranges reported for other regions in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.

Published: September 2018

Perkloroetilen
(PERC), kuru temizleme endüstrisinde çözücü, yağ giderici ve temizleyici olarak
yaygın bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Perkloroetilen, güçlü ve etkili bir
temizleyici olup giysilerin buruşmasını ve renginin solmasını engeller. Kuru
temizleme dükkanlarının en az üçte ikisi kuru temizleme işlemlerinde
perkloroetilen’i kullanmaktadır. Uluslararası Kanser Araştırmaları Ajansı
(IARC, 1995) Perkloroetileni insan karsinojeni olarak Grup2A içerisine almıştır
ve kurutemizleme endüstrisinde çalışan insanlar için kanserojen olabileceğini
belirtmiştir. PERC’in kuru temizlemede çalışan işçilerde cilt lezyonlarının
yanı sıra, lenfosarkom, lösemi, kolon, akciğer ve ürogenital kanserlere neden
olduğuna dair çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada saf Perkloroetilen’in Artemia salina larvaları üzerindeki
potansiyel sitotoksik etkisi Brine Shrimp Letalite Testi ile araştırılmıştır.
Denemelerde negatif kontrol olarak tuzlu su, çözücü kontrol olarak etanol ve
pozitif kontrol olarak da Mitomisin-C (MMC) kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçları,
LC50
değerlerine göre, in vitro ortamda PERC’e 24 saat maruz
bırakılan A.salina
larvaları üzerindeki sitotoksik etkinin sadece 1000 ppm’lik PERC uygulanması
sonucunda ortaya çıktığını, diğer konsantrasyon aralıklarında (10 ve 100 ppm)
ise sitotoksik aktivitesinin olmadığını göstermiştir.
Quaternionic G-Monogenic Mappings in Em
Authors: Shpakivskyi Vitalii S. , Kuzmenko Tetyana S.
Published: September 2018

We consider a class of so-called quaternionic G-monogenic mappings associatedwith m-dimensional (m 2 f2; 3; 4g) partial differential equations and propose a description of allmappings from this class by using four analytic functions of complex variable. For G-monogenicmappings we generalize some analogues of classical integral theorems of the holomorphic functiontheory of the complex variable (the surface and the curvilinear Cauchy integral theorems,the Cauchy integral formula, the Morera theorem), and Taylor’s and Laurent’s expansions.Moreover, we investigated the relation between G-monogenic and H-monogenic (differentiablein the sense of Hausdorff) quaternionic mappings.

Published: September 2018

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a experiência de familiares separados durante as políticas de isolamento compulsório das pessoas atingidas pela hanseníase no Brasil. Especificamente, busca-se refletir acerca dos trajetos e desafios enfrentados pelos filhos que foram separados dos pais isolados, além de lançar questões em torno das atuais políticas estatais de reparação aqueles sujeitos.  Esse trabalho está baseado em dados etnográficos coletados ao longo dos últimos cinco anos junto a familiares e filhos, além de dialogar com fontes secundárias. Demonstramos a complexidade das experiências de separação, a forma como ela reverbera no presente e os desafios em face à burocracia do Estado quando o tema são as políticas reparatórias. Refletir sobre a experiências de separação compulsória da segunda geração de atingidos pela hanseníase pode lançar novas questões às atuais políticas estatais dirigidas a usuários de crack; ou seja, trata-se de um convite de aprendizado sobre experiências do passado em busca de um futuro mais justo e para que os mesmos erros não se repitam.

Published: September 2018

Em Belo Horizonte filhos de mulheres na maioria negras e pobres, com histórico de uso de álcool e outras drogas, trajetória de rua, sofrimento mental, estão sendo separados de suas mães, ainda na maternidade. Os serviços de saúde, pressionados pelas recomendações 5 e 6 de 2014 da 23ª Promotoria de Justiça da Infância e Juventude Cível do Ministério Público passaram a avaliar a aptidão/inaptidão da mãe para o cuidado com o filho, ainda na maternidade. As mães se viram obrigadas a provar sua inocência e capacidade de cuidar do filho, em um contexto em que seu passado pesa desproporcionalmente sobre sua possibilidade de futuro. O movimento “De quem é este bebê?” traz visibilidade e concretiza ações de enfrentamento às situações de violação de direitos de mães, bebês e famílias de permanecerem juntos, tendo em vista o registro de aumento expressivo do número de bebês retidos nas maternidades e de bebês abrigados em BH, além da aceleração dos processos de adoção, segundo a Defensoria Pública de MG. Este movimento envolve diversas entidades comprometidos com a defesa dos direitos das populações em situação de maior vulnerabilidade e defesa da ética profissional em saúde.  Atua em defesa dos direitos da mulher à maternidade segura, com assistência digna e livre de qualquer discriminação, das crianças ao nascimento respeitoso, incentivo à convivência com a sua família e contra o afastamento compulsório de suas mães na maternidade antes de esgotados todas as possibilidades e deveres do Estado de proteção social e de cuidado em saúde.
A desmaternização das gestantes usuárias de drogas: violação de direitos e lacunas do cuidado
Authors: Belloc Marcio Mariath , Cabral Károl Veiga , De Oliveira Carmen Silveira
Published: September 2018

O presente artigo tem por objetivo problematizar as condições de gestação de usuárias de drogas em contextos de violência e alta vulnerabilidade social. Como método, utilizamos as narrativas da experiência do Projeto Redes (Fiocruz) na cidade de Porto Alegre. Os resultados apontam para uma série de lacunas no cuidado e proteção dessas mulheres, bem como de violação de seus direitos. Identificamos uma espécie de desmaternização conduzida e protagonizada intersetorialmente como causa e efeito de um modelo homogeneizante e excludente de sociedade. Algumas medidas específicas são recomendadas, tais como o desenvolvimento de programas de educação permanente e de supervisão clínico-institucional com equipes da rede de proteção que acompanham pessoas em extrema exclusão e invisibilidade social; a implementação de protocolos de cuidado entre a rede básica e maternidades e de forma articulada com a rede de assistência social; a criação de fóruns de discussão entre operadores do sistema de justiça e a rede de proteção para a revisão e pactuação de fluxos visando a garantia de direitos e o pleno acesso aos serviços.

Investigation the Effects of Tetrahydrofuran and Dimethyl Sulfoxide on the Positive Electrolyte of Vanadium Redox Battery
Authors: Gençten Metin
Published: September 2018

In
this work, a comparative study was done to determine the effects of
tetrahydrofuran and dimethyl sulfoxide on the electrochemical behaviors of a
vanadium redox flow battery’s (VRFB’s) positive electrolyte. In this concept,
cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used for the
characterization of electrolytes consisting of additives, V(IV) and sulfuric
acid. Currents and capacities of peaks were determined in cyclic voltammograms.
The redox reaction were controlled by diffusion and diffusion+adsorption in
tetrahydrofuran and dimethyl sulfoxide including positive electrolyte solutions
of VRFB, respectively. Resistance values were investigated in electrochemical
impedimetric analysis. The morphological characterization of the pencil
graphite electrodes used in cyclic voltammetric analysis, were done by scanning
electron microscopic analysis.
