Background and purpose

In wake-up stroke, CT-based quantitative net water uptake (NWU) might serve as an alternative tool to MRI to guide intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase (IVT). An important complication after IVT is symptomatic intracerebral haemorrhage (sICH). As NWU directly implies ischaemic lesion progression, reflecting blood-brain barrier injury, we hypothesised that NWU predicts sICH in patients who had a ischaemic stroke undergoing thrombectomy with unknown onset.

Methods

Consecutive analysis of all patients who had unknown onset anterior circulation ischaemic stroke who underwent CT at baseline and endovascular treatment between December 2016 and October 2020. Quantitative NWU was assessed on baseline CT. The primary endpoint was sICH. The association of NWU and other baseline parameters to sICH was investigated using inverse-probability weighting (IPW) analysis.

Results

A total of 88 patients were included, of which 46 patients (52.3%) received IVT. The median NWU was 10.7% (IQR: 5.1–17.7). The proportion of patients with any haemorrhage and sICH were 35.2% and 13.6%. NWU at baseline was significantly higher in patients with sICH (19.1% vs 9.6%, p<0.0001) and the median Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) was lower (5 vs 8, p<0.0001). Following IPW, there was no association between IVT and sICH in unadjusted analysis. However, after adjusting for ASPECTS and NWU, there was a significant association between IVT administration and sICH (14.6%, 95% CI: 3.3% to 25.6%, p<0.01).

Conclusion

In patients with ischaemic stroke with unknown onset, the combination of high NWU with IVT is directly linked to higher rates of sICH. Besides ASPECTS for evaluating the extent of the early infarct lesion, quantitative NWU could be used as an imaging biomarker to assess the degree of blood-brain barrier damage in order to predict the risk of sICH in patients with wake up stroke.
Hybrid CHGSO Approach-Based EV Energy Regulation by Considering Incentive-Based Prosumer and Uncertainty
Authors: Subramanian Arulkumar , Kosuru Venkata Satya Rahul , Ashwin K. V.
Published: September 2023

This paper proposes the hybrid approach for increasing the profit of prosumers and reducing the energy cost of the residents. The hybrid method is the combination of chaotic maps and the Henry gas solubility optimization algorithm (HGSO), hence it is called chaotic Henry gas solubility optimization (CHGSO). The proposed approach is the community-based microgrid that incorporates energy storage systems (ESS), electric vehicles (EVs) and photovoltaics (PV). Both ESS and EV are conserved as alternative sources of energy. The stored EV energy is used as a power source for homes and the grid by utilizing the Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) modes. The power flow of EV/ESS is controlled depending on the rate of charging and discharging. Here, the battery degradation cost is considered. The proposed approach solves the optimization problems, like battery degradation of EV/ESS, regulation of charge/discharge and provides optimal economic benefits. The proposed approach increases the prosumer profit through encouraging EV energy transactions through incentive-based pricing. Finally, the CHGSO method is performed in MATLAB and is compared with existing methods. From the simulation analysis, it can be concluded that the cost of CHGSO method is less and the prosumer participation has increased.
A Novel Simulation Approach for Fault Injection Mechanism Assessing Dependability of Cybersecurity Attacks
Authors: Kaur Shaminder , Sachdeva Ashish
Published: September 2023

Clock attacks and power attacks are used as common means to inject faults in embedded devices. Critical analysis of the properties and the components engaged with these fault injection methods is of high importance to assess the related dangers and furthermore to enhance the process of designing suitable counter-measures. This paper provides critical analysis of induced faults on combinational and sequential circuits and study effects of various attacks (over-clock, under clock, power attack). While doing analysis, it was revealed that clock attacks i.e., under and over clock attacks have similarity index of (80–90%). Also it was found that power attacks have results similar (60–70%) to clock attacks but they cause propagation delay in circuits affecting the output. Cadence virtuoso 45 nm technology node, Keil and Multi-sim software’s were used to generate various attacks. The comparative analysis reveals that the attack timing and frequency of the glitch is the key while inducing fault injection attacks. While performing this work, it is observed the sequential circuits get less impacted by attacks comparing to combinational circuits. This research is conducted from an attacker’s perspective instead of mitigation perspective.
Nonlocal half-ball vector operators on bounded domains: Poincaré inequality and its applications
Authors: Han Zhaolong , Tian Xiaochuan
Published: September 2023

This work contributes to nonlocal vector calculus as an indispensable mathematical tool for the study of nonlocal models that arises in a variety of applications. We define the nonlocal half-ball gradient, divergence and curl operators with general kernel functions (integrable or fractional type with finite or infinite supports) and study the associated nonlocal vector identities. We study the nonlocal function space on bounded domains associated with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions and the half-ball gradient operator and show it is a separable Hilbert space with smooth functions dense in it. A major result is the nonlocal Poincaré inequality, based on which a few applications are discussed, and these include applications to nonlocal convection–diffusion, nonlocal correspondence model of linear elasticity and nonlocal Helmholtz decomposition on bounded domains.
Sharp interface limit of the Cahn–Hilliard reaction model for lithium-ion batteries
Authors: Laux Tim , Stinson Kerrek
Published: September 2023

We propose a weak solution theory for the sharp interface limit of the Cahn–Hilliard reaction model, a variational PDE for lithium-ion batteries. An essential feature of this model is the use of Butler–Volmer kinetics for lithium-ion insertion, which arises as a Robin-type boundary condition relating the flux of the chemical potential to the reaction rate, itself a nonlinear function of the chemical potential and the ion concentration. To pass through the nonlinearity as the interface width vanishes, we introduce solution concepts at the diffuse and sharp interface level describing dynamics principally in terms of an optimal dissipation inequality. Using this functional framework and under an energy convergence hypothesis, we show that solutions of the Cahn–Hilliard reaction model converge to a Mullins–Sekerka type geometric evolution equation as the width of the transition layer vanishes.

Published: September 2023

Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 900–1880[Formula: see text]nm) with less scattering background in biological tissues has been combined with the confocal microscopic system for achieving deep in vivo imaging with high spatial resolution. However, the traditional NIR-II fluorescence confocal microscope with separate excitation focus and detection pinhole makes it possess low confocal efficiency, as well as difficultly to adjust. Two types of upgraded NIR-II fluorescence confocal microscopes, sharing the same pinhole by excitation and emission focus, leading to higher confocal efficiency, are built in this work. One type is fiber-pinhole-based confocal microscope applicable to CW laser excitation. It is constructed for fluorescence intensity imaging with large depth, high stabilization and low cost, which could replace multiphoton fluorescence microscopy in some applications (e.g., cerebrovascular and hepatocellular imaging). The other type is air-pinhole-based confocal microscope applicable to femtosecond (fs) laser excitation. It can be employed not only for NIR-II fluorescence intensity imaging, but also for multi-channel fluorescence lifetime imaging to recognize different structures with similar fluorescence spectrum. Moreover, it can be facilely combined with multiphoton fluorescence microscopy. A single fs pulsed laser is utilized to achieve up-conversion (visible multiphoton fluorescence) and down-conversion (NIR-II one-photon fluorescence) excitation simultaneously, extending imaging spectral channels, and thus facilitates multi-structure and multi-functional observation.

Authors: Gomes Carlos , Guedes Tiago , Esteves Augusto
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a first iteration of an augmented reality (AR) system for dismounted soldiers in the Portuguese military. We started the work via a survey of 86 members of the military to better understand their experience, needs, and preferences with current Command & Control (C2) systems. We then assessed the effects of our prototype on the performance, situational awareness, and perceived usability and workload of 13 participants from a local Commando Regiment. We compared our results to a representative baseline using a paper map and radio in a hostage extraction simulation and found that our first AR iteration, despite a short practice session, increased the quality of the information available and decreased the complexity, temporal demands, and effort required to complete the study tasks; leading to an overall decrease in perceived workload. Overall, participants described the AR experience as more user-friendly. We conclude our case study with research ideas for further iterations of our prototype.

Published: September 2023

Biocybernetic loops encompass users' state detection and system adaptation based on physiological signals. Current adaptive systems limit the adaptation to task features such as task difficulty or multitasking demands. However, virtual reality allows the manipulation of task-irrelevant elements in the environment. We present a physiologically adaptive system that adjusts the virtual environment based on physiological arousal, i.e., electrodermal activity. We conducted a user study with our adaptive system in social virtual reality to verify improved performance. Here, participants completed an n-back task, and we adapted the visual complexity of the environment by changing the number of non-player characters. Our results show that an adaptive virtual reality can control users' comfort, performance, and workload by adapting the visual complexity based on physiological arousal. Thus, our physiologically adaptive system improves task performance and perceived workload. Finally, we embed our findings in physiological computing and discuss applications in various scenarios.
Imperfect Surrogate Users: Understanding Performance Implications of Augmentative and Alternative Communication Systems through Bounded Rationality, Human Error, and Interruption Modeling
Authors: Yang Boyin , Kristensson Per Ola
Published: September 2023

Nonspeaking individuals with motor disabilities frequently rely on augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems that allow users to communicate through a text entry interface coupled with a speech synthesizer. Such systems are notoriously difficult to evaluate with end-users. However, recent research has proposed envelope analysis as a method to estimate text entry rates and keystroke savings by simulating the interaction of an expert surrogate user entering sentences on a conceptual word-predictive text entry system. While only a part of the evaluation process of an AAC system, this method enables AAC designers to benefit from quantitative insights early on in the design process. This paper extends prior work by (1) demonstrating how to incorporate natural language generation, such as sentence generation, in such analyses; (2) presenting a model of an imperfect surrogate user that incorporates bounded rationality, human error, and interruptions to provide a more realistic simulation of text entry behavior; and (3) demonstrating how to estimate model parameters by observing users' actual typing behavior. We validate the model with data collected from eight participants using an AAC system on a touchscreen.
Self-supervised Graph-level Representation Learning with Adversarial Contrastive Learning

Published: September 2023

The recently developed unsupervised graph representation learning approaches apply contrastive learning into graph-structured data and achieve promising performance. However, these methods mainly focus on graph augmentation for positive samples, while the negative mining strategies for graph contrastive learning are less explored, leading to sub-optimal performance. To tackle this issue, we propose a Graph Adversarial Contrastive Learning (GraphACL) scheme that learns a bank of negative samples for effective self-supervised whole-graph representation learning. Our GraphACL consists of (i) a graph encoding branch that generates the representations of positive samples and (ii) an adversarial generation branch that produces a bank of negative samples. To generate more powerful hard negative samples, our method minimizes the contrastive loss during encoding updating while maximizing the contrastive loss adversarially over the negative samples for providing the challenging contrastive task. Moreover, the quality of representations produced by the adversarial generation branch is enhanced through the regularization of carefully designed bank divergence loss and bank orthogonality loss. We optimize the parameters of the graph encoding branch and adversarial generation branch alternately. Extensive experiments on 14 real-world benchmarks on both graph classification and transfer learning tasks demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach over existing graph self-supervised representation learning methods.

Published: September 2023

We show here, for the first time, that kidney-specific BMAL1 knockout mice are protected from blood pressure (BP) increases and immune responses to a salt-sensitive diet. Other kidney-specific BMAL1 knockout models exhibit lower BP phenotypes under basal conditions. A salt-sensitive diet exacerbates this genotype-specific BP response, leading to fewer proinflammatory cytokines and immune cells in knockout mice. These data demonstrate the importance of distal segment BMAL1 in BP and immune responses to a salt-sensitive environment.
Attention preserves the selectivity of feature-tuned normalization
Authors: Klímová Michaela , Bloem Ilona M. , Ling Sam
Published: September 2023

The magnitude of visuocortical BOLD responses scales with orientation differences in visual stimuli, with the strongest response suppression for collinear stimuli and least suppression for orthogonal, in a way that appears to match natural scene statistics. We examined the effects of attention on this feature-tuned property of suppression and found that while attending to a stimulus increases the overall gain of visuocortical responses, the qualitative properties of feature-tuning remain unchanged, suggesting attention preserves tuned normalization properties.

Aim. The objective of this article is to describe our innovative competency-based approach to teaching nursing students about the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Background. Nurse educators require resources about pedagogical approaches related to ANS instruction. Design and Methods. We implemented an approach based on Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory, which was piloted in several nursing courses that spanned undergraduate and graduate levels of education. Results. We organized content according to three core ANS concepts: receptors and ligands; neurotransmission; and ANS divisions and reflexes. After students demonstrated mastery of these concepts, we introduced active-learning exercises, such as case studies, interactive games, concept mapping, and simulation-based education. This approach layered clinically-relevant information upon the core concepts. We leveraged student feedback by adding historical, social science, and literary examples into lectures because students reported how this approach made the material engaging. Conclusion. Our approach guides students toward a conceptual understanding of the ANS to support critical thinking and enhance nursing skills, such as interpreting physiologic signals, titrating vasoactive medications, and recognizing ANS disorders.
An Atypical 15q11.2 Microdeletion Not Involving SNORD116 Resulting in Prader–Willi Syndrome

Published: September 2023

Loss of expression of paternally imprinted genes in the 15q11.2-q13 chromosomal region leads to the neurodevelopmental disorder Prader–Willi Syndrome (PWS). The PWS critical region contains four paternally expressed protein-coding genes along with small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) genes under the control of the SNURF-SNRPN promoter, including the SNORD116 snoRNA gene cluster that is implicated in the PWS disease etiology. A 5-7 Mb deletion, maternal uniparental disomy, or an imprinting defect of chromosome 15q affect multiple genes in the PWS critical region, causing PWS. However, the individual contributions of these genes to the PWS phenotype remain elusive. Reports of smaller, atypical deletions may refine the boundaries of the PWS critical region or suggest additional disease-causing mechanisms. We describe an adult female with a classic PWS phenotype due to a 78 kb microdeletion that includes only exons 2 and 3 of SNURF-SNRPN with apparently preserved expression of SNORD116.

Published: September 2023

Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the world’s most common and severe cancers. This cancer includes two histological types: squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (ADC). The current study aims at identifying novel potential candidate mRNA and miRNA biomarkers for SCC based on a protein-protein interaction (PPI) and miRNA-mRNA network analysis. The current project utilized a transcriptome profile for normal and SCC samples. First, the PPI network was constructed for the 1335 DEGs, and then, a significant gene module was extracted from the PPI network. Next, a list of miRNAs targeting module’s genes was collected from the experimentally validated databases, and a miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was formed. After network analysis, four driver genes were selected from the module’s genes including MCM2, MCM10, POLA1, and TONSL and introduced as potential candidate biomarkers for SCC. In addition, two hub miRNAs, including miR-193b-3p and miR-615-3p, were selected from the miRNA-mRNA regulatory network and reported as possible candidate biomarkers. In summary, six potential candidate RNA-based biomarkers consist of four genes containing MCM2, MCM10, POLA1, and TONSL, and two miRNAs containing miR-193b-3p and miR-615-3p are opposed as potential candidate biomarkers for CC.

Authors: Sandu Georgiana C. , Weisser Gregor , Krämer Stefan , Reinhard Matthias
Published: September 2023

Reported vascular complications following mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines are consisting of myocarditis, cerebral venous thrombosis, cerebral vascular thrombosis, and vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia. Here, we describe a case of a 49-year-old woman with left-sided pain above the middle common carotid artery (carotidynia) starting a few days after her second vaccination with an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine (Spikevax). Imaging was indicative of transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery (TIPIC) syndrome. The diagnostic workup for other immunologically mediated diseases was negative. The inflammation subsided after a course of prednisone and aspirin, and clinical symptoms vanished, but later mildly relapsed in the context of a viral upper respiratory tract infection other than SARS-CoV-2. Carotidynia because of TIPIC syndrome may present as an immunogenic side effect of the newly developed mRNA-based vaccinations against COVID-19. TIPIC syndrome should be considered in new-onset neck pain after vaccination.

Published: September 2023

Objectives. The creation of new herbal medicines for their use in dentistry is relevant. The purpose of this work is to study the acute toxicity of the anticaries dental gel (ACDG3) developed by us based on Origanum vulgare. Results. In case of studying the safety of anticaries dental gel “ACDG3” in animals, that with a single dose of up to 2000 mg/kg, the absence of pathological changes in the behavior of animals was noted. Biochemical studies indicate that the studied doses of dental gel did not lead to significant deviations in the blood parameters of mice and deviations fluctuated within the reference values. According to the results of a morphometric study conducted 15 days after the administration of the drug, no deviations were found. The histological evaluation of organs showed little change in the cardiac architecture in animals treated with ACDG3 at doses of 1000 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg. On the other hand, no significant changes in the cardiac function were observed in all treated mice. Conclusion. As follows from the results obtained, in case of determining acute toxicity, the studied anticaries gel, ACDG3, showed low toxicity. For mice, LD50 was 2000 mg/kg intragastrically. So, according to the generally accepted classification of the toxicity of substances, ACDG3 can be attributed to the class of low-toxic substances (IV class of toxicity, LD50 > 5000 mg/kg, intragastric administration), that is, to practically nontoxic compounds.

Published: September 2023

The role of companion animals in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is still not well known. As part of a wider surveillance system, this study aimed to provide data about AMR in bacterial isolates from infections in companion animals referred to an Italian University Veterinary Hospital (VUH) from November 2020 to September 2022. A total of 940 isolates were identified with MALDI-TOF MS and subsequently the antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) for 12 antimicrobials was performed. Urine was the most commonly submitted specimen (54.92%) and Escherichia coli was the most common bacterial species isolated (36.06%). Out of the 940 isolates, 747 (79.47%) were nonsusceptible to at least one drug (AMR), while 420 (44.68%) were considered multidrug resistant (MDR). The highest nonsusceptibility percentages were recorded for clindamycin (59.65 %), erythromycin (58.96 %), ampicillin (52.85%), and enrofloxacin (48.19%). Alarming percentages were recorded also for ceftiofur (25.51%), amoxicillin–clavulanate (22.99%), and piperacillin–tazobactam (15.85%). In multivariable risk factors analysis, previous use of invasive devices (

p

in both cases) and previous use of antimicrobials (

p
<
0.01

in both cases) were statistically related with higher AMR and MDR percentages. Apart from a general evaluation, the study focused on specific bacterial species (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp.) and specimens (blood cultures, urine from suspected healthcare-associated urinary tract infections, and surgical site infections), showing in both cases higher AMR and MDR percentages compared to average. These data highlight the urgency to further investigate AMR spread in pets and how passive surveillance systems can be effective tools to monitor AMR and to optimize antimicrobial use.
Three-Dimensional Prestressed Tuned Mass Damper for Passive Vibration Control of Coupled Multiple DOFs Offshore Wind Turbine
Authors: Lei Zhenbo , Liu Gang , Zhang Xuesen , Yang Qingshan , Law S. S.
Published: September 2023

Large megawatts offshore wind turbine (OWT) with low natural frequency and low damping is subjected to significant vibration from wind and wave actions in its service environment. The one-dimensional prestressed tuned mass damper (PSTMD) is further extended to a 3D-PSTMD for the control of vibrations of the OWT in this paper. A multiple DOFs coupled system of turbine, blades, tower, and foundation under aerodynamic and hydrodynamic forces is considered in this study of vibration mitigation at fore-aft and side-side directions. The dynamic model is derived with the Lagrangian equation, and the superiorities of the PSTMD are proved from the perspective of theoretical analysis. Aerodynamic and hydrodynamic loads are generated with the blade element momentum (BEM) theory and Morrison equation, and the dynamic responses of different systems are computed by using the Wilson-θ method. The analysis results indicate that a damping coefficient of the 3D-PSTMD corresponding to the first vibration mode can be tuned to take up values larger than that in traditional three-dimensional pendulum (TMD) (3D-PTMD). The bidirectional vibration suppression competences of the 3D-PSTMD in the dynamic responses when under aerodynamic and hydrodynamic loads are better than those of the traditional 3D-PTMD.

Published: September 2023

Dual numbers were applied to the dynamics of a rigid-flexible combination system (RFCS) with time-varying configuration in this paper. The six-dimensional spinor form of the motion of flexible modules, including the dual vector, dual momentum, dual inertia operator, dual coupling coefficient operator, and dual-modal coordinates, was derived using the dual numbers that could represent spiral motion in a compact form. On this basis, the integrated dynamic model of a rigid-flexible combination system with a time-varying configuration was proposed. And then, the relative dynamics equations between two rigid-flexible combination systems which both have time-varying configuration were provided. An on-orbit assembly mission of flexible modules transported and operated by free-flying space robots (FFSRs) is presented as an exemplary application of relative dynamics. Simulation results illustrate the complex coupling effects on the relative motion between two rigid-flex combination systems with time-varying configuration.
Análise semiótica de capas da Vogue estadunidense de 1920 e 2020: 100 anos de ínterim
Authors: Lima Tainá de Menezes , Lopes Cláudia Ribeiro Monteiro
Published: September 2023

O presente artigo apresenta a análise semiótica de três capas da revista Vogue estadunidense, considerando também dos cinco códigos do não verbal, a linguagem da aparência e dos artefatos. Duas capas são de edições do mês de setembro de 1920, quando a Vogue tinha tiragem quinzenal, e uma é de setembro de 2020, quando a revista já havia se tornado mensal. As três foram escolhidas em razão do uso de ilustrações ao invés de fotografias e da capacidade de representação do público-alvo do periódico:  mulheres de alto poder aquisitivo e interessadas em moda. A vertente semiótica adotada é a Peirceana, na qual se baseia o modelo processual da análise: ponto de vista icônico-qualitativo, indicial- singular e convencional-simbólico. Um paralelo entre as edições, com diferença de cem anos, permite identificar similaridades e diferenças entre os signos não verbais.
Imagens, inteligência artificial e a incontornabilidade da metacrítica
Authors: Muanis Felipe
Published: September 2023

Este texto discute a imagem digital e evidencia como a inteligência artificial contemporânea, ao quebrar o referente real da imagem técnica, oferece uma mudança de paradigma para a representação imagética. Essa ruptura cria um receio e uma desconfiança do real no espectador de toda e qualquer imagem, seja analógica ou digital, o que cria uma pergunta implícita para esse sujeito: “será isto real?”. A proposta deste artigo é mostrar que essa dúvida tende a se tornar indissociável das imagens e do observador contemporâneo, o que favorece o desenvolvimento de uma postura mais analítica e crítica, em que o observador abandona uma postura exclusivamente diegética para assumir também uma leitura metacrítica. Autores como Bernard Stiegler, Thomas Mitchell e Hans Belting serão analisados.

Este artigo visa debater a função e o papel da crítica midiática na organização de conteúdos presentes em plataformas ou agregadores audiovisuais. Parte-se do entendimento de que aspectos da crítica condicionam desde a produção e sua elaboração, articulando-se às demandas dos realizadores, e se consolidam na recepção e mediação com os públicos, construindo uma rede a partir de um complexo crítico encontrado na mediação midiática. Percebe-se, nessa produção, um circuito midiático das plataformas ou agregadores em três níveis: a) a crítica dos produtores; b) a mediação crítica da curadoria; e c) a recepção crítica do público.
Checagem de fatos como crítica de mídia: critérios e potenciais formativos da verificação jornalística
Authors: Paganotti Ivan
Published: September 2023

Este artigo avalia como veículos jornalísticos de checagem de fatos podem, indiretamente, realizar crítica de mídia. Para isso, é proposta uma tipologia dos efeitos pedagógicos da verificação jornalística como uma crítica de mensagens (refutando cada informação incorreta), veículos (denunciando produtores que publicam informações falsas), meios (criticando plataformas que permitem circulação de desinformação), recepção (educando usuários sobre como identificar fake news e checar eles mesmos conteúdos on-line) e controle (discutindo propostas para alterar o sistema midiático, por meio de leis ou alterações no funcionamento de plataformas), além de, ao mesmo tempo, serem alvo de uma forma de metacrítica – uma crítica contra os checadores e suas checagens, que trata dos critérios para a crítica midiática publicada por jornalistas.
Percepção de moda no Instagram: uma análise dos perfis de Camila Coutinho e Garotas Estúpidas
Authors: Zogbi Raíssa Nascimento Silva , Doretto Juliana
Published: September 2023

Com as redes sociais, vê-se o fortalecimento da presença de influenciadores digitais e das novas formas de consumo de informação de moda por eles alavancadas. Este trabalho busca investigar o modo de percepção do público sobre a moda a partir da presença dessas figuras, e identificar indícios de sua influência no processo de construção de subjetividades. Para tanto, o trabalho analisa o conteúdo dos comentários no perfil do Instagram de Camila Coutinho, uma das principais influenciadoras digitais de moda do Brasil, e de sua página, Garotas Estúpidas, que tem origem no blog de moda criado por ela em 2006. Como resultado, vê-se que as influenciadoras digitais e seu personalismo nem sempre contribuem para que a discussão profunda sobre a moda como sistema reflexivo e modo de se posicionar no mundo se dissemine no meio digital.

Em 2015 foi criado o Grupo de Plantas Medicinais e Fitoterápicos, do Laboratório de Práticas Alternativas, Complementares e Integrativas em Saúde (LAPACIS), do Departamento de Saúde Coletiva, da Faculdade de Ciências Médicas/ Unicamp, que está desenvolvendo o projeto Implantação e Implementação da Farmácia Viva na Rede Municipal de Saúde de Campinas/SP em parceria com a Secretaria Municipal de Saúde (SMS). O objetivo deste artigo é relatar a experiência do Grupo de Fitoterapia e Plantas Medicinais do LAPACIS/UNICAMP, evidenciando sua contribuição para a implantação de Farmácias Vivas (FV) em Campinas. A partir de 2017 foram realizadas visitas técnicas e capacitações em plantas medicinais em 18 centros de saúde (CS) que viabilizou em 2018 a escrita da Cartilha de Plantas Medicinais – SUS Campinas/ SP. Em 2019 o projeto recebeu um prêmio de Menção Honrosa e de Melhor Trabalho do Sudeste, o que permitiu a continuidade do projeto e a inclusão de mais 23 CS no projeto. Em 2021 foi realizado um diagnóstico que evidenciou a importância das FV para a promoção da saúde, e no cuidado da saúde mental de trabalhadores de saúde e usuários dos serviços. Foi observado também que durante a pandemia, muitas FV deixaram de existir, devido à alocação dos trabalhadores para ações associadas à COVID-19. Observamos ainda que o cuidar das plantas promoveu um resgate da relação com a natureza, e dos saberes populares e tradicionais. Porém temos algumas fronteiras a serem ultrapassadas como apoio dos gestores distritais, e a sensibilização dos coordenadores e das equipes dos CS.

Published: September 2023

This study identifies perceptions about susceptibility and responses to health risks among children of the street in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews from 22 purposely selected street children. In addition to the field notes, audio was recorded, transcribed and translated into English. After coding the responses, themes and sub-themes were identified, followed by interpretations of responses. The findings showed that children of the street perceive to be highly susceptible for health risks such as HIV/AIDS, skin diseases, malaria, accidental injuries, lung cancer, and ‘Corella’. Whereas most of the health risks have been associated generally with the living situations of the children, engagement in risky behaviors such as unsafe sexual practices, addictions to drugs and other harmful substances, and sharing of sharp materials have also been reported to increase their vulnerability. The extent to which they perceive to be susceptible, the type of disease and its perceived cause were found to influence the preventive health behavior of the street children. The high risk perception among street children opened the way for individual and collective efforts of maintaining health and wellbeing which in turn facilitates interventions aimed at reintegrating street children into the society.

Published: September 2023

A new species, Aegokeras gazipashensis (Apiaceae), is described from South Anatolia, Turkey. It grows in mountain steppe formation of the Taurus Mountains in the district of Gazipaşa (Antalya province). The taxonomic affinities of the new species were determined by analyzing morphological data and a molecular phylogenetic study of nrITS. Aegokeras gazipashensis is morphologically similar to A. caespitosa but it differs mainly with growing habitat, non-caespitose habit, remains of old leaf bases, morphology of roots, leaves, and leaflets, presence of petiole, and stylopodium rim features. The anatomical structure of the fruit is given. The diagnostic morphological characters of A. gazipashensis are discussed. In addition, the geographical distribution of the new species and the morphologically related A. caespitosa species is mapped. In this study, an identification key with a description of the new species is provided along with statements about the habitat, ecology, phenology, and conservation status of the new species.

Jail Officers’ Adherence to Traditional Bases of Social Power: Understanding Inmate Control in a Unique Correctional Context
Authors: Applegate Brandon K. , Ouellette Heather M. , Wareham Jennifer
Published: September 2023

Scholars have investigated the social sources of power that correctional officers embrace as their means of control over people who are incarcerated. However, this work has been conducted with community correctional officers and those working in state prisons, with almost no attention to officers who work in local jails. Jails are distinctive in ways that may be important for the bases of power on which officers may draw, and the current study analyzed data from officers employed by a large urban jail. Jail officers favored coercive power more so and referent power less so than has been reported in prior studies of prison officers. Further, we employed latent class analysis to identify groups of officers and analyzed covariates of the resultant classes. We discuss implications for understanding the exercise of power in local jails.
Toward a sustainable transition in automated production: enabling the vision-based approach and synchronous control for textile surface inspection systems
Authors: Nguyen Thanh Phuong , Nguyen Hung , Ngo Ha Quang Thinh
Published: September 2023

The textile and apparel industry is one of the largest industries in the world, with significant environmental and social impacts, such as manual labor in poor working conditions and resource depletion and environmental degradation due to ineffective production. As a result, there is an increasing need for sustainable practices and a transition toward a more circular and responsible industry. In this paper, we introduce the proposed approach in the context of a sustainable transition for the industrial textiles. Instead of human labor, the automated solution to detect defects is proposed for the 4.0 revolution in general and the textile industry in particular. Specifically, the mechanical design of a three-dimensional model for small- and medium-sized fabric rolls is portrayed. Some computational mechanics are created to ensure a stable mechanism and proper actuators. For acquiring accurate data and measuring the machine state, several installations, that is, a digital camera, load cell, and positioning sensor, and the layout of the light source are improved to intensify the image quality. The control theme, such as the cross-coupling controller, offers superior performance in synchronization and vibration-less motion. Lastly, the excellent detection method is provided by the convolutional neural network scheme for offline training to distinguish defects on products. Instead of a manual check or low rate of defect detection on products, the contributions of this research are as follows: (a) analyzing the mechanical design of the textile machining system in terms of dynamic characteristics; (b) implementing a smooth scheme based on motion control synchronization; and (c) integrating various strategies, including vision-based computation and control topology, to demonstrate superior performance. These results highlight that our approach can be widely adapted to address sustainability challenges not only in the textile field but also in global manufacturing practices.
Party primaries and turnout: Meso-level explanations
Authors: Villaplana F Ramón , Megías Adrián , Barberà Oscar
Published: September 2023

The impact of party primaries on turnout at the meso level has been particularly under-researched. Thus, the aim of this paper is to explore the determinants of turnout on party primaries by employing an original dataset comprising over 300 selection processes of candidates and leaders in Spain from 1991 to 2021 at both the national and regional level. One of our main findings suggests, in line with what has been affirmed by previous literature, a positive impact of competitiveness on turnout. We also find some contradictory effects of ideology on turnout: as expected most left-wing parties have better turnout averages than right-wing parties, but turnout is higher in primaries organised by right-wing parties. In addition, the type of primaries and the (online-offline) format of the event also appear to be a relevant factor shaping participation.
