Breve história da curadoria de arte em museus
Authors: MAGALHÃES ANA GONÇALVES , COSTA HELOUISE
Published: September 2021

RESUMO Este texto busca compreender as narrativas construídas em torno da história da curadoria de arte enquanto prática social, por meio da discussão de alguns de seus paradigmas. Propõe-se uma história na contramão da tendência de abordar a curadoria de arte apenas a partir da segunda metade do século XX. Do cuidado com as coleções às exposições temporárias, a curadoria de arte especializou-se ao longo dos séculos e foi responsável por articular diferentes discursos de legitimação sobre a arte. Se num primeiro momento constituíram-se narrativas sobre a arte e os artistas, ao longo do século XX e das experiências de arte moderna o foco voltou-se para a formação de público e de quadros profissionais para os museus. A partir da década de 1960 ocorre a divisão de uma figura que antes era una: o conservador - ou curador de coleção - e o curador independente. Enquanto o primeiro passou a ser considerado um mero funcionário das instituições museológicas, o segundo ganhou protagonismo e estatuto de autor. A inclusão de experiências curatoriais realizadas no Brasil, em diferentes momentos históricos, serve como contraponto crítico às práticas curatoriais de arte realizadas nas instituições tradicionais europeias e estadunidenses, com vistas a uma abordagem que leve em conta o processo de globalização.

Análise Comportamental da Relação Comissão Técnica Atletas de Basquetebol: Uso do Software The Observer
Authors: Fernandes Roberto Luís Lombardi Pellini , Souza Juliana Isquierdo de , Clemente Karina Aparecida Padilha , Silva Andressa Melina Becker da
Published: September 2021

Resumo A psicologia do esporte é uma área de estudos da psicologia que tem como objetivo contribuir para o aprimoramento dos aspectos psicológicos e de desempenho durante a prática esportiva, seja ela amadora ou profissional. Dentro desse contexto, a análise do comportamento se apresenta como uma abordagem relevante ao permitir observar e avaliar as contingências ambientais estabelecidas em treinamentos e competições. A relação entre comissão técnica e atletas de uma equipe está sujeita a diversas variáveis, inclusive aos tipos de liderança que caracterizam o ambiente. Dessa forma, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar, por meio da observação comportamental e dos modelos de liderança, o tipo de interação e comunicação entre comissão técnica e atletas de basquetebol. Jogadores e membros da comissão técnica de uma equipe profissional de basquetebol participaram do estudo. Para a mensuração de dados foram utilizados uma câmera filmadora para gravações em vídeo e os softwares The Observer XT Noldus e SPSS 23.0, com estatísticas descritivas e correlacionais. Os resultados mostraram que o estilo de liderança da comissão técnica influencia diretamente o comportamento dos atletas. Uma liderança autoritária fez com que comportamentos baseados em reforçamento negativo, como olhar para o técnico, obedecer ao treinador e incentivar os colegas após um erro, fossem emitidos com maior frequência. Por sua vez, quando a liderança era democrática, os jogadores emitiram respostas que orientavam outros jogadores mais vezes, como organizar jogadas e comentar movimentos, sempre com aval hierárquico do técnico.
Depoimento Especial, Testemunho Judicial, Diretrizes Internacionais: Dissonâncias
Authors: Coimbra José César , Nunes Roberta Gomes , Cordeiro Cristiana de Faria
Published: September 2021

Resumo O depoimento especial de crianças e adolescentes e a Lei 13.431/2017 questionam a interface entre a psicologia e a justiça. Essa lei tem em suas fontes a Resolução 20/2005, do Conselho Econômico e Social das Nações Unidas, que traça diretrizes para a justiça em casos de crianças vítimas ou testemunhas de crime. Realizou-se pesquisa qualitativa, baseada em levantamento bibliográfico e documental, tendo por eixo as legislações mencionadas e os procedimentos e papéis profissionais nelas previstos. Avalia-se a dissonância entre os dois documentos e suas consequências, bem como as definições de vitimização secundária, revitimização, pessoa de apoio e intermediário, não adotadas na Lei 13.431/2017. Algumas práticas estrangeiras alinhadas à Resolução 20/2005 são descritas e comentadas, mostrando diferenças significativas em relação ao que é realizado no Brasil. Conclui-se que uma dessas diferenças entre um e outro documento é o aspecto da proteção, que perde sua força e revela o limite do funcionamento do judiciário no acolhimento daquele que demanda cuidado.

Published: September 2021

Resumo O objetivo do artigo é conhecer a abordagem de equipes de emergência à assistência de pacientes com doença crônica avançada, na perspectiva dos cuidados paliativos. O texto traz resultados de revisão integrativa que buscou artigos em cinco bases de dados, utilizando os descritores “serviços médicos de emergência”, “equipe de assistência ao paciente”, “atitude do pessoal de saúde” e “cuidados paliativos”. Inicialmente, foram identificadas 12.290 publicações, reduzidas, após análise, a uma amostra final de 26 artigos. Entre as principais medidas mencionadas na literatura para levar os cuidados paliativos à emergência, estão: plano de cuidados individualizado e flexível; gestão de redes; acesso à equipe de cuidados paliativos; comunicação empática; identificação dos pacientes elegíveis; e controle de sintomas. Conclui-se que as equipes de emergência precisam reconhecer a importância dos cuidados paliativos nesse serviço, redirecionando o cuidado concentrado em “salvar vidas” para um cuidado que preserve a dignidade humana.
Danos de cartel em contratos com a Petrobras
Authors: Pereira João Ricardo , Terra Rafael , Zoghbi Ana Carolina , Gomes Rafael Martins
Published: September 2021

Resumo Este artigo estuda o dano produzido à Petrobras decorrente de atuação de um cartel de empreiteiras. Seu objetivo é responder à pergunta: Como quantificar a diferença entre o valor cobrado por licitações públicas em um ambiente cartelizado e o respectivo valor que deveria ser cobrado em um ambiente competitivo? Foram utilizados métodos econométricos de avaliação de impacto (regressão simples, diferenças em diferenças e propensity score matching) sobre uma nova base de dados de licitações de Construção de Refinarias da Petrobras, realizadas entre 2002 e 2014. Foram encontradas evidências empíricas de que licitações vencidas por empresas cartelizadas apresentam desconto inferior às licitações vencidas pelas empresas não cartelizadas em 17 pontos percentuais. Um grupo de empresas participantes de licitações da Petrobras mudou seu comportamento depois de 2006, passando a atuar como cartel. A cartelização em contratos com entes públicos ou empresas estatais como a Petrobras tem o potencial de gerar grande prejuízo econômico à sociedade, o que reforça a necessidade de regulação e de fiscalização constante dos contratos por órgão independentes.
A Framework for a Capabilities-Based Approach to Copyright
Authors: Jandhyala Megha
Published: September 2021

Abstract This article highlights the importance of an analysis of copyright law from a human development perspective. Drawing on Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum’s Capabilities Approach, it outlines why copyright scholarship and policymaking should address human capabilities. It also explores several vital questions that a human development approach to copyright raises, including questions about the distributional effects of copyright law. It examines Mary Sue fan fiction through the lens of the Capabilities Approach to illustrate how the approach differs from the standard utilitarian approach to copyright. Furthermore, it argues that several factors associated with a country’s level of development, particularly its social, economic, and institutional contexts, affect the relationship between copyright and human capabilities. Therefore, rather than making broad generalizations about whether or not copyright law is good or bad for human development, it concludes that aspects of copyright law can enhance human development in the presence of certain other factors (such as strong indigenous industries and institutions). Conversely, aspects of copyright law can have a significant negative impact on human capabilities in certain environments, such as a weak institutional environment, or a socio-economic environment that is fraught with inequality. To illustrate this point, the article examines the issue of piracy through the lens of the Capabilities Approach.

Published: September 2021

Abstract This paper aims to submit a research results whose objective is to interpret social representations considered by young inmate males from the Centro de Educaciòn El Oasis, in relation with sexual an reproductive rights and their incidence in adolescent pregnancy, in order to lead them to a resignification process evident in their own life project. It is a qualitative study developed from a participatory methodology in Colombia, 2015. The sample consisted of a total of 60 young adults, including 46 teens and managers. The techniques used were a social survey given to 46 adolescents, an unstructured interview to 30, focus groups and resignification workshops. The representations by teenagers and young people about the subject came from female figures, inculcated early, when still in their homes, according to the socio-cultural contexts in which they were inserted. Thus, their beliefs do not favor the development of practices aimed at preventing diseases and teenage pregnancy, in addition to reinforcing stereotyped ideals of masculinity and femininity and prejudices in relation to sex, prioritizing sexist and homophobic notions regarding gender roles.
Comunicação científica na Política Nacional de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação em Saúde: análise do discurso oficial
Authors: Silva Neide Emy Kurokawa e , Paro César Augusto , Ventura Miriam
Published: September 2021

Resumo A partir da indagação sobre as possibilidades de participação social e efetiva interação da população nas pesquisas científicas na saúde, buscou-se analisar como a Política Nacional de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação em Saúde aborda essa dimensão comunicativa. Deste modo, examinou-se o documento oficial desta política por meio da análise temática. A comunicação sobre ciência, tecnologia e inovação à população é tratada, principalmente, no item sobre a difusão dos avanços científicos e tecnológicos, sendo designada com diferentes termos, cujos significados e objetivos, embora distintos, são tratados como sinônimos. A ideia central de comunicação gira em torno de um conteúdo a ser transferido a determinados públicos, de forma unidirecional e verticalizada, de um “emissor” para um “receptor”. Tal perspectiva contrasta com a possibilidade de uma comunicação mais horizontalizada e participativa na produção de conhecimento e apropriação de tecnologias, como vislumbrado e desenvolvido por estudos e práticas sobre engajamento público na ciência ou letramento científico. Reconhecendo-se o mérito do processo que culminou nesta política e considerando o contexto político, social e cultural brasileiro é importante impulsionar propostas comunicativas de participação efetiva da sociedade nas questões de ciência, tecnologia e inovação na saúde, coerentemente com os princípios democráticos e participativos do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS).
“A máscara salva”: representações sociais da pandemia de covid-19 por meio dos desenhos de crianças cariocas
Authors: Alvaro Marcela , Folino Carolina , Massarani Luisa , Chagas Catarina
Published: September 2021

Resumo Como os adultos, as crianças tiveram suas relações sociais e rotinas alteradas pela pandemia e são atores sociais fundamentais para se compreender as transformações causadas por essa condição sanitária que afetou o planeta, construindo representações e narrativas próprias. No entanto, poucos estudos de percepção da pandemia focam nas crianças. A fim de analisar a percepção das crianças cariocas sobre a pandemia de covid-19, entrevistamos 20 crianças entre oito e dez anos, moradoras do município do Rio de Janeiro, por meio de plataformas virtuais, utilizando a técnica de desenho comentado. Neste artigo, analisamos em particular os desenhos e as narrativas associadas a eles, definindo as seguintes categorias de análise: rotina; sentimentos durante a pandemia; representação do vírus e novos hábitos. No geral, as crianças retrataram as etapas do seu dia a dia, incluindo as brincadeiras, o uso de eletrônicos e as aulas on-line, bem como as estratégias de enfrentamento do coronavírus usadas em seu entorno familiar e seus sentimentos. As crianças demonstram tanto cautela com a pandemia, indicando ter consciência da importância do distanciamento social, do uso de máscara e da higiene pessoal para o enfrentamento da covid-19, quanto preocupação, medo e até raiva do vírus.
Entre exiliados y nativos: la integración de saberes de españoles y mexicanos para el desarrollo de la neurología en México, 1935-1950
Authors: Vicencio Daniel
Published: September 2021

Resumen Entre 1935 y 1950 aconteció la introducción y desarrollo de la neurología en México. Esto se dio por medio de dos vías: el arribo de los neurocientíficos españoles a México tras su exilio provocado por la Guerra Civil; y la presencia de médicos mexicanos que salieron a especializarse en neurocirugía a EEUU. Se discuten algunas posiciones historiográficas que hablan de la importancia de los españoles exiliados en este acontecer, pero que no han expuesto el relevante papel de los nativos en el surgimiento de la neurología mexicana. Se afirma la existencia de un proceso de integración de ambas partes, donde los nativos buscaron satisfacer necesidades asistenciales mientras que los exiliados tuvieron que encontrar y crear espacios dónde insertarse.
A construção histórica do conceito de enzima e sua abordagem em livros didáticos de biologia
Authors: Tonolli Paulo Newton , Franco Fernando Faria , Silva Antônio Fernando Gouvêa
Published: September 2021

Resumo O uso de história e filosofia da ciência no ensino-aprendizagem é comumente negligenciado, linear e/ou descontextualizado nos livros didáticos. Isso aconteceria com a história do conceito de enzimas? Este trabalho busca investigar essa questão. Para a fundamentação teórica, foi realizada breve revisão bibliográfica, investigando-se como o conceito de enzimas é apresentado em nove livros didáticos, seguindo três categorias de análise. Encontrou-se, de forma geral, falta de interconexão nos assuntos de bioquímica, sendo as enzimas usualmente apresentadas apenas pelo modelo “chave-fechadura”, que hoje não é representativo da complexidade do fenômeno. Além disso, foram observados limites conceituais decorrentes da ausência ou deficiência na contextualização histórica presente no material didático.

A school without railings: rural backgrounds, social medicine, and the circulation of public health material in Colombia, 1930-1946
Authors: Botero-Tovar Natalia
Published: September 2021

Abstract Ambitious state hygiene education projects designed during liberal governments in Colombia (1930-1946) faced not just the poverty of rural populations, but also the reluctance of local political forces. I analyze hygiene education programs during the first two liberal governments of the Liberal Republic. I argue that public health programs did not reach their audience due to local clientelism and political corruption. The sources of this article come mainly from Colombia’s Ministry of Education reports and cultural magazines. The education sector also had health-related responsibilities and developed assessments of local needs, which contributed to public health programs. Latin America’s public health historiography could be enriched by exploring failures in the implementation of projects in the history of social medicine.

Significance Statement

Accumulating evidence implicates microRNAs in IgA nephropathy (IgAN), which is a common primary GN in which aberrant IgA aggregated with complement 3, with or without IgG/IgM is deposited in glomerular mesangium. We showed, in a mouse model, that miR-23b deficiency induced an IgA nephropathy-like disease, marked by mesangial IgA and C3 deposition, increased proteinuria, elevated serum IgA levels, and development of high blood pressure. Elevations in serum IgA levels and mesangial IgA deposition were associated with dysregulated mucosal IgA synthesis through targeting the activation-induced cytidine deaminase gene in the gut. miR-23b deficiency-induced dysfunctional kidney effects were likely mediated through regulation of expression of gremlin 2 (Grem2) and the transferrin receptor (Tfrc), which weexamined in human mesangial cells.

Background

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary GN worldwide. Circulating immune complexes form that are prone to deposition in the mesangium, where they trigger glomerular inflammation. A growing body of evidence suggests that dysregulated expression of microRNAs in IgAN may play a significant role in establishing the disease phenotype.

Methods

We generated single miR-23b-3p(miR-23b) knockout mice using CRISPR-Cas9.

Results

In humans, miR-23b levels are downregulated in kidney biopsies and sera of patients with IgAN, and serum miR-23b levels are negatively correlated with serum IgA1 levels. We show that miR-23b−/− mice develop an IgAN-like phenotype of mesangial IgA and C3 deposition associated with development of albuminuria, hypertension, an elevated serum creatinine, and dysregulated mucosal IgA synthesis. Dysregulation of IgA production is likely mediated by the loss of miR-23b–mediated suppression of activation-induced cytidine deaminase in mucosal B cells. In addition, we show that loss of miR-23b increases the susceptibility of the kidney to progressive fibrosis through loss of regulation of expression of gremlin 2 and IgA accumulation through downregulation of the transferrin receptor.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest an indispensable role for miR-23b in kidney disease, and in particular, IgAN. miR-23b may in the future offer a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of IgAN.
CHOP-ASO Ameliorates Glomerular and Tubular Damage on Top of ACE Inhibition in Diabetic Kidney Disease

Significance Statement

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response and the maladaptive and cell-death–promoting transcription factor C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) have been linked with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Specific therapies targeting maladaptive ER stress signaling are lacking. We show that an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)–based approach reducing CHOP expression ameliorates DKD in mice, providing renal protection on top of ACE inhibition. CHOP inhibition improves both glomerular and tubular damage. ASO-based therapies are a potentially new approach to target maladaptive ER stress signaling and improve DKD.

Background

Maladaptive endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is linked to increased glomerular and tubular expression of the cell-death–promoting transcription factor C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP). Here, we determined whether locked nucleic acid (LNA)–modified antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) targeting CHOP ameliorate experimental DKD.

Methods

We determined the efficacy of CHOP-ASO in the early and late stages of experimental DKD (in 8- or 16-week-old db/db mice, respectively) alone or with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi), after an in vivo dose-escalation study. We used renal functional parameters and morphologic analyses to assess the effect of CHOP-ASO and renal gene-expression profiling to identify differentially regulated genes and pathways. Several human CHOP-ASOs were tested in hyperglycemia-exposed human kidney cells.

Results

CHOP-ASOs efficiently reduced renal CHOP expression in diabetic mice and reduced markers of DKD at the early and late stages. Early combined intervention (CHOP-ASO and ACEi) efficiently prevented interstitial damage. At the later timepoint, the combined treatment reduced indices of both glomerular and tubular damage more efficiently than either intervention alone. CHOP-ASO affected a significantly larger number of genes and disease pathways, including reduced sodium-glucose transport protein 2 (Slc5a2) and PROM1 (CD133). Human CHOP-ASOs efficiently reduced glucose-induced CHOP and prevented death of human kidney cells in vitro.

Conclusions

The ASO-based approach efficiently reduced renal CHOP expression in a diabetic mouse model, providing an additional benefit to an ACEi, particularly at later timepoints. These studies demonstrate that ASO-based therapies efficiently reduce maladaptive CHOP expression and ameliorate experimental DKD.
The Distinguishing Characteristic of Task-based Language Assessment
Authors: Noroozi Majeed , Taheri Seyyedmohammad
Published: September 2021

Since its advent, the principles of Task-Based Language Teaching have been extended to assessment giving rise to Task-Based Language Assessment. Despite the growing body of research on the efficacy of Task-Based Language Teaching in instruction, the application of the assessment based on the tenets of Task-Based Language Teaching has been mainly neglected in some studies owing to their lack of use of Task-Based Language Assessment to measure the effectiveness of Task-Based Language Teaching (viz., Li, et al., 2016). The present study emphasizes the importance of Task-Based Language Assessment and highlights the feature that distinguishes this type of assessment from other assessments. The study concludes that while the performance-referenced feature of Task-Based Language Assessment is an essential characteristic thereof, it is, in fact, the holistic and direct feature of Task-Based Language Assessment that distinguishes it from other assessments. The more the assessment measure is incorporated in the performance of assessment tasks, the more the assessment tasks are based on the tenets of Task-Based Language Assessment. Therefore, the holistic and contextualized assessment tasks improve the confidence with which language teachers could generalize the results of the assessment tasks to real-life situations.
Attempts of PAD Teaching Methodology in Modern Chinese College English Writing Class: A Grounded Theory Based Perspective
Authors: Su Huanan
Published: September 2021

This research paper attempts to have an in-depth understanding of PAD (presentation-assimilation-discussion) teaching methodology applied in a modern Chinese college course, which is College English Writing class, from the perspective of the Grounded Theory. Based on a detailed introduction and analysis of the Grounded Theory, this research makes efforts to answer such a question that how PAD teaching methodology is applied in modern Chinese College English Writing class as well as how it helps Chinese college students learn in their College English Writing class. The PAD teaching methodology in modern Chinese College English Writing class is a new type of teaching mode, being divided into three processes: presentation, assimilation and discussion (which is the co-called PAD). The key innovation in the PAD teaching methodology in modern Chinese College English Writing class is to stagger the lectures and discussions in time, so that students have a week time for personalized assimilation, which mobilizes students’ interest in learning, promotes students’ enthusiasm, cultivates students’ learning autonomy, and improves the quality of the teaching of College English Writing class. As a qualitative research, this paper employs methods of literature synthesis and comparative analysis to reach such a conclusion that PAD teaching methodology does help and facilitate modern Chinese college students in their learning of College English Writing class. An important perspective from the Grounded Theory has provided a strong support to further verify the necessary role that PAD teaching methodology has played in modern Chinese College English Writing class.
The Use of Islamic Literature to Teach Ethical English
Authors: Irwansyah Dedi , Andianto Andianto , Madkur Ahmad
Published: September 2021

Ethical English instruction has paved the way for every religion to make its interpretation. From the Islam religion perspective, such interpretation is still under research. This study describes how ethical English instruction takes place in an Indonesian Islamic higher education institution; how literature, particularly Islamic literature, becomes a factor of ethical English instruction; and the students' transformation through ethical English instruction. Applying a content analysis method, this case study involved 60 freshmen students of the English language education program of State Islamic Institute of Metro, Lampung, Indonesia. The research data was drawn from five main data sources, namely interviews, classroom observations, teaching materials, samples of students' works, and questionnaires. This study shows that (1) the use of Islamic literature to teach ethical English in the Indonesian Islamic higher education is potential; (2) text exploitability becomes a dominant factor in ethical English instruction; and (3) a contextualized approach, derived from the existing global approach and local teaching method, transforms the students positively.  It is concluded that ethical English teaching within Indonesian Islamic higher education ought to utilize Islamic literature and be conducted through a contextualized approach.

Published: September 2021

El bosque seco tropical (bs-T) es uno de los ecosistemas más amenazados del planeta, como consecuencia de la presión antrópica. En el enclave subxerofítico del cañón del Chicamocha habita Cavanillesia chicamochae, especie endémica y amenazada que presenta poca supervivencia de sus plántulas, afectando la regeneración de sus poblaciones. El presente estudio evaluó la germinación de C. chicamochae con frutos, semillas y estacas, utilizando tres sustratos diferentes. Se emplearon tres tratamientos, los cuales consistieron en diferentes sustratos: T1: arena de río; T2: tierra negra; T3: mezcla 3/4 tierra -1/4 cascarilla de arroz y se utilizaron frutos, semillas desnudas y estacas. Se implementó un diseño completamente aleatorio con tres sustratos incluyendo frutos y semillas y se realizaron cuatro réplicas. Las variables analizadas se sometieron a un ANOVA; cuando las diferencias fueron significativas (p < 0,05), además se desarrolló un análisis de medias utilizando la prueba de rangos múltiples de Duncan. El porcentaje de germinación por semilla y fruto presentó diferencias significativas; el tratamiento de mayor eficiencia fue T1 (71%-semillas y 54%-frutos). Las semillas almacenadas en condiciones ambientales perdieron su viabilidad a partir de los cuatro meses. El mucílago presentó un adecuado valor bromatológico para la alimentación de rumiantes e importantes contenidos en metabolitos secundarios, con usos potenciales en el área farmacéutica, siendo un valor agregado para la especie. El estrés hídrico selecciona características de conservación del agua para garantizar la sobrevivencia de especies en el tiempo, una mejor comprensión de estas estrategias ayudará a predecir respuestas ante futuras sequías.
Analytical Performance Evaluation of GFDM in Underwater Acoustic Communication Systems
Authors: Hilario-Tacuri Alexander , Soncco Leonel , Donaires Diego , Borja Juan
Published: September 2021

The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has extended its concept to underwater environments. However, the implementation of these systems via wired communication still represents a technological challenge, mainly due to the high cost of their deployment. Therefore, wireless communications are seen as an interesting solution for the deployment of underwater communications systems. Preliminary research indicated that underwater acoustic wireless communication could be used for some Internet of Underwater Things applications, mainly due to the wide range of communications involved. However, a significant disadvantage of acoustic systems is their low transmission data rate; thus, studies and analyses to improve this disadvantage must be carried out. Considering that new waveforms have been proposed to improve the performance of terrestrial wireless communications systems, this work presents the development of general analytical expressions that allow the performance evaluation of the Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM) waveform in underwater environments. These analytical expressions were obtained considering a continuous-time model for the GFDM signal and modeling the underwater acoustic communication channel as a time-varying multipath channel. Numerical results were obtained for many different systems and channel parameters, allowing a quantitative evaluation of the system performance degradation.
A review of airflow rate estimation techniques for natural ventilation in buildings
Authors: Chen Austin Miguel , Mora Dafni , Bruneau Denis , Sempey Alain
Published: September 2021

As natural ventilation involves local and global interactions, the estimation of these interactions can be performed by many approaches. Such approaches, rather more experimental and numerical than analytical, often require a great deal of instrumentation and equipment, which results in higher demands on project budget and funding.  The present work is devoted to comprehending the natural ventilation concept, and to assess the existing experimental techniques already implemented for past researchers in the estimation of the ventilation airflow rate due to the wind and thermal buoyancy effects. A brief review of modeling techniques is also presented. This will provide a strong theoretical grasp of the natural ventilation process as part of the main elements in the thermal behavior of buildings. Ultimately, these bases are intended to help choose the most suitable techniques to estimate the natural ventilation airflow rate. The adequate benefit-to-budget technique appears to be the airtightness tests (blower door tests), since empirical Equations relating the airflow directly to the pressure difference in the building for both cases: infiltrations (openings closed) and openings opened, can be obtained.  Also, the location of the leakages can be identified without complications, and this technique has the potential to estimate in situ the airflow capacity and friction characteristics of the openings.

Published: September 2021

Background: The bulb of Allium cepa Linnaeus (onion) is used in traditional medicine as an antidiabetic, antioxidant, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and antihyperlipidemic, among others. The lack of information or little knowledge about the effects of Allium cepa L. on skin lesions, specifically burn wounds, arouses interest in studying its effects on these skin disorders. Objective: This study assessed the wound healing activity of Allium cepa L. on second-degree burns induced in Holtzman rats. Method: Thirty-two albino rats were randomly distributed into four groups of 8 rats each, including the Healthy group, the Control group, the Experimental group (Allium cepa L.), and the Standard group (1% silver sulfadiazine). Burn wounds were induced, and topical treatments were performed daily for 21 days. The reduction of the burned body area (mm2) was determined during the experimental time. Albino rats were sacrificed with an excess of surgical anesthesia to obtain tissue samples for histopathological analysis. Results: Standard and experimental groups significantly reduced burned body area (p<0.01) compared to the control group. Histopathological studies showed hyperemic chorion in the Control group, fibroblasts, and collagen in the Standard group, and dermis composed of a reticular stratum of fibroblasts, collagen, and few blood vessels in the Experimental group. Conclusion: Allium cepa L. revealed wound-healing activity on burns induced in Holtzman rats and reduced the damage produced by burns.

Numerical solution of aerothermodynamics problems requires a lot of processor time, and for this reason, the numerical codes for such simulations must be efficiently parallelized. This paper presents a software platform based on a technological approach that greatly simplifies the parallelization of problems with unstructured grids. The paper formulates the principle of a unified mathematical address space of the problem for all used cluster nodes. The formalization of the presented technological approach and the implementation of its software basis in the form of data structures, exchange routines and work rules form a software platform on the basis of which parallel computational programs can be built. This approach is implemented and tested for the problem of modeling the characteristics of aircrafts, but it can be applied to other problems using unstructured grids with one-dimensional cell numbering. In this case, the physical and mathematical specifics of the problem are not important. Parallelization of the code with the new approach is carried out with minimal effort, without changing the main parts of the program. As a result, a single computational code can be created for all regimes — sequential, multi-threaded, and cluster. The performance results obtained with the new code confirm the good scalability of the parallelization method.

The paper discusses the application of the method of co-variance analysis of noisy signals using the example of an electroencephalogram to increase the frequency resolution in relation to the phenomena of electrical activity of the brain. The method is focused primarily on signals presented in digital form. The possibility of increasing the frequency resolution in comparison with the method of Fourier transform and wavelet transform is shown.

Current wind systems are intermittent and cannot be used as the baseload energy source. The research on the concept of wind power using direct thermal energy conversion and thermal energy storage, called wind powered Thermal Energy System (WTES), opened the door to a new energy system called Wind-thermal, which is a strategy for developing baseload wind power systems. The thermal energy is generated from the rotating energy directly at the top of the tower by the heat generator, which is a simple and light electric brake. The rest of the system is the same as the tower type concentrated solar power (CSP). This paper’s results suggest that the energy and exergy performance of the WTES (62.5% and 29.8%) is comparable to that of conventional wind power, which must be supported by the backup thermal plants and grid enhancement. This cogeneration nature of the WTES system makes this system suitable for using wind power as a direct heat source in several heat-demanding processes such as chemical production. Also, the light heat generator reduces some issues of wind power, such as noise and vibration, which are two main bottlenecks of the wind power technology.

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and predictors of yoga practice. This cross-sectional study was conducted as a part of a larger study that included yoga as a form of physical activity. Data were collected during April and August 2019 from the adult urban population of Bhubaneswar, India. This study was conducted using a cluster random sampling method. A representative sample (n = 1,203) of adults aged 18–59 years, irrespective of gender, was interviewed using a questionnaire adapted from the 2012 U.S. National Health Interview Survey, with the Epicollect5 handheld data-collection tool. Predictors of yoga practice were explored using multivariable logistic regression. The mean age of the participants was 35.19 ± 10.67 years, with 55.3% males. The majority were Hindu (93.62%) and belonged to the unre s e rved category (65.60%), people generally of higher relative socioeconomic status. The lifetime prevalence of yoga was 16.9%. Prevalence of any form of yoga (yoga, pranayama, or meditation), all forms of yoga (yoga, pranayama, and meditation), pranayama, and meditation was 17.0%, 10.7%, 14.3%, and 11.4%, respectively. After adjusting for confounders, female gender, Hindu religion, minimum of higher-secondary or graduate-level education, and having received advice from professionals for yoga practice had significantly higher odds of practicing yoga, and those of higher socioeconomic status had significantly lower odds of practicing yoga. We found a low prevalence of yoga. Sociodemographic characteristics like gender, religion, education, socioeconomic status, and other factors like learning yoga from professionals may be important predictors of continued yoga practice.
The Legal Regulation in the Context of the Paired Operation of the Law and Opposition to its Implementation
Authors: Sukhova N. I.
Published: September 2021

Legal reality examination reveals contradictions and uncertainties that make the researcher think about the correctness of the tasks and tools of doctrinal cognition. In modern science, a wide range of means of cognition have been developed, which makes it possible to overcome such situations and achieve the expected outcomes. One of the jurisprudence methodological resources includes the logical form of paired categories. This method is used to reveal the interaction between non-polar elements in any phenomenon, to form the most complete model of the process or mechanism functioning, etc. In the paper, the author proposes to examine the process of legal regulation through the linkage of the concepts "action of the law — opposition to the implementation of the law." The phenomena under consideration possess not only the distinctive properties, but also the properties that conciliate them. This made it possible to consider the interaction between the operation of the law and the counteraction to it within the framework of legal regulation. On the basis of the algorithm of categories pairing, the study concludes that the action of the law and the opposition to it are subordinate to the law of the unity and struggle of opposites. The development of the unity of the opposites under consideration is taking place in the course of legal regulation representing a contradiction expressed in two mutually exclusive statements: "legal regulation is determined by the operation of the law," "legal regulation is determined by opposition to the law."
