UM NOVO OLHAR SOBRE A PAREDE CELULAR VEGETAL: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Assis Elza Thaynara Cardoso de Menezes , Pereira Jocilene dos Santos , Santos Taís Araújo
Published: July 2021

Introdução: A parede celular (PC) é um envoltório extracelular presente em todos os vegetais e fungos e em algumas bactérias e algas. De acordo com os processos evolutivos dos organismos sua composição química sofre variações, por exemplo, o principal constituinte da PC dos fungos é a quitina, das algas a celulose e das bactérias peptidoglicano. Se tratando da parede celular vegetal, a mesma é constituída por macromoléculas heterogêneas, celulose, hemicelulose, pectina e lignina, além de proteínas fundamentais no processo de remodelamento da estrutura. Objetivo: Estabelecer um novo olhar para parede celular vegetal que vai além da proteção. Revisão e resultados: A PC é uma estrutura flexível e dinâmica de maneira a se remodelar quando a planta é submetida a estresse abiótico ou biótico. Um estudo comparativo dos efeitos de fatores de estresse abióticos (seca, inundações, calor, frio, salinidade, metais, irradiância de luz e poluentes do ar) sobre o metabolismo da PC primária e secundária, demonstrou que frente a estresses ocorre na PC primária um aumento significativo no nível de xiloglucano endotransglycosylases e expansina. Na secundária, ocorre o aumento do espessamento devido ao acúmulo de hemicelulose e lignina. Em conjunto, os resultados indicam que proteínas que compõem a PC são as principais responsáveis pelo remodelamento da mesma. A PC é também um importante alvo biotecnológico, uma vez que é a principal contribuinte para a formação da biomassa utilizada na produção de biodiesel. Portanto, sua modificação físico-química pode reverter no aumento da produtividade da cultura. Trabalho relata a modificação da PC de Arabidopsis thaliana, via transgenia, orientando os domínios de ligação do amido sintetase III para essa estrutura. As plantas transgênicas obtidas mostraram um aumento de biomassa, níveis mais elevados de açúcares fermentáveis e celulose hidrolisada e alteraram as propriedades da PC, como maior frouxidão e degradabilidade, que são características importantes para a indústria de biocombustíveis de segunda geração. Conclusão: Diante do exposto, demonstra-se que a parede celular é uma estrutura complexa e caracterizar sua composição é necessário para desvendar algumas das bases moleculares de resistência a processos de estresse biótico e abiótico bem como no incremento dos usos biotecnológicos da mesma.

Authors: Santos Rhaysa Akemi Takeda , Franscisquini Mateus , Biasotto Giovane , Rossi Luana Calliari Leite
Published: July 2021

Introdução: Os agrotóxicos possuem um papel importante na agricultura brasileira, sendo o país responsável por cerca de 10% do uso mundial. O uso indiscriminado de agrotóxicos é o principal responsável pela contaminação do solo e águas superficiais e subterrâneas. Dentre estes agrotóxicos está o ácido 2,4- diclorofenoxiacético (2,4-D), o primeiro herbicida orgânico sintetizado pela indústria química durante a segunda guerra mundial e extensivamente utilizado na agricultura brasileira até os dias atuais. No que se refere ao potencial periculosidade ambiental, que leva em consideração a bioacumulação, persistência, toxicidade, transportes e potenciais mutagênicos, o 2,4-D é classificado como altamente perigoso. Uma vez que resíduos de defensivos agrícolas circulam tanto pelos ambientes terrestres quanto pelos aquáticos, é necessário que se faça constantemente um monitoramento do destino dessas moléculas no meio ambiente, bem como, desenvolver e aprimorar técnicas de degradação desses compostos, a fim de mitigar a contaminação de áreas ambientais. Com isso, foram realizados diversos estudos e ensaios de técnicas de biorremediação para degradação do composto 2,4-D. Objetivos: Avaliar o estado-da-arte de degradação do herbicida 2,4-Diclorofexoniacético por biorremediação. Materiais e métodos: Leitura e avaliação de estudos previamente publicados acerca da degradação do composto poluente 2,4-D. Resultados: Observou-se que estudos realizados com bactérias da espécie Pseudomonas sp. e Arthorbacter sp. mostraram bastante diversificação metabólica na biodegradação de 2,4-D, utilizando-o como fonte de energia e carbono, demonstrando uma degradação de 79,2% e 82,3% para as espécies respectivamente. Trabalhos sobre biodegradação intrínseca também mostraram resultados satisfatórios para degradação de 2,4-D. Ensaios realizados utilizando cepa isolada do fungo Penicilium também mostraram a degradação do composto poluente sem a formação de minerais tóxicos. A espécie bacteriana Cupriavidus sp. também mostrou uma taxa de degradação expressiva em solo contaminado com o herbicida 2,4-D utilizando a técnica de bioaumentação. Conclusão: O mecanismo de degradação mais amplamente estudado é a utilização de microrganismos para atenuar a concentração do composto no meio ambiente. Notou-se também que grande maioria dos trabalhos não mencionaram o potencial toxicológico do herbicida no meio ambiente, bem como, sua disponibilidade biológica e comportamento de adsorção no solo.

Published: July 2021

Introdução: O Brasil possui um enorme potencial para a produção de biocombustíveis, com grande quantidade de terras agricultáveis e condições climáticas que permitem a rotação de culturas durante o ano, gerando biomassa. Dentre os biocombustíveis mais usuais estão o biodiesel, bioetanol e biogás. O biogás obtido pela digestão anaeróbica dos recursos renováveis pode ser utilizado para produção de calor, eletricidade ou combustível de transporte. Objetivos: Esse estudo tem como objetivo apresentar o cenário atual da produção de biogás no Brasil. Material e métodos: Levantamento de dados do cenário brasileiro de biogás foi realizado no mês de maio de 2021, por meio de buscas na internet e estudos publicados em livros e artigos científicos. As bases de dados consultados foram: o Biogasmap, do Centro Internacional de Energias Renováveis Biogás – CIBiogás; os resultados de levantamentos publicados pelo MAPA; bem como o banco de dados da Agência Nacional do Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis (ANP). Resultados: Segundo os dados obtidos do Biogasmap do CIBiogás, o Brasil contabiliza atualmente 671 plantas de biogás, com capacidade instalada em torno 2.08 bilhões metros cúbicos de biogás por ano, sendo que destas, 635 encontram-se em operação para fins energéticos no país, produzindo um total de 1,7 bilhões de metros cúbicos ano, representando 94,63% das plantas identificadas. 26 plantas estão em fase de implantação e 10 em reforma. Estudo desenvolvido pela Associação Brasileira de Biogás e Biometano - ABiogás, indicou que o Brasil é o país com o maior potencial de produção de biogás do planeta, com cerca de 84,6 bilhões de metros cúbicos/ano, sendo que o setor sucroenergético tem capacidade para gerar o correspondente a 41,4 bilhões Nm³/ano e o setor da agroindústria a 37,4 bilhões Nm³/ano. Entretanto, atualmente, a produção de biogás no país permanece praticamente subexplorada, produzindo apenas 2% do potencial de capacidade. Conclusão: O Brasil é um dos maiores produtores de biomassa do mundo, portanto, possui um enorme potencial de produção de biogás. Entretanto, a produção de biogás, atualmente no país, permanece praticamente inexplorada, representando uma pequena fração de todo seu potencial.

Heat addition process is a governing phenomenon in turbojet and ramjet burners, where heat is added to the flow during the fuel-air combustion process. In the present work, an analytical study has been performed to investigate the effect of heat addition on the basic flow properties based on compressible Rayleigh flow model between the subsonic and sonic flow regime. The unsteady nature of flow properties in these regimes have been evaluated analytically by adding heat through the walls of a constant area, frictionless duct in which air flow occurs over different periods of time. Sudden variation of temperature, pressure, velocity and kinetic energy of the flow were found at flow Mach number M = 0.94. Flow velocity and kinetic energy increases until the flow approaches M = 0.94, afterwards there is a rapid increase in the flow velocity and kinetic energy until it reaches sonic conditions. Conversely, pressure decreased till the flow reaches M = 0.94, there after a sudden drop was observed. Flow enthalpy increased initially, reached maximum at flow M = 0.845 and then reduced till sonic conditions. Based on the observations, it has been concluded that the heat energy contributed to increase the kinetic energy thereby reducing the temperature of the flow.

Luxury Fashion Brands and Consumers: Women are more sexualized by consumers than brands on Instagram
Authors: Mensa Marta , Deng Tao (Tony)
Published: July 2021

This study examines how luxury fashion brands and luxury fashion brand hashtags that consumers use in their posts portray women on Instagram. The study was framed by sexual objectification theory (physical presentation, body display, sexually suggestive poses, and feminine touch) and sexism stereotypes (women in traditional roles such as dependent, caretaker, decorative and sexual object). This study examines 700 Instagram posts, 350 from top luxury fashion brands, and 350 from consumers. Young and skinny women’s images dominate Instagram posts created by luxury fashion brands, while consumers are older and fit. Unexpected results show that luxury fashion brands feature women less sexually desirable, with less sexually suggestive poses and fewer sexist stereotypes than consumers.
Stereotypes and Sexualization of Girls and Adolescent Girls in Chilean Advertising: A Case Study
Authors: Condeza Dall'Orso Ana Rayén , Matus Lobos Pablo , Vergara Leighton Enrique
Published: July 2021

This article presents a case study about three underwear and footwear advertising campaigns aimed at girls and adolescents in the context of the promotion of the back-to-school season in Chile in February 2020. The adverts caused social and media controversy. Social media users accused the brands of sexualizing children and adolescents’ images for marketing and commercial ends. Based on an interpretative analysis of the graphic pieces involved in the campaigns, this article reflects on the representation of girls and adolescent girls. This research observes a resort to female gender stereotypes char- acteristic of the fashion industry extended to childhood. Considering that advertising is one of the main discursive axes central in the social and media construction of infancy, we discuss the risk of normalizing communication strategies which appeal to the increasingly earlier seduction and erotization of infant and adolescent bodies through mass media despite prevailing ethical and self-regulation codes in the country.

Published: July 2021

In the last couple of years, with the prolification of the Migrant Crisis and the defeat of the Islamic State, the return of the foreign fighters, who went form Europe to the Caliphate and joined the local conflict, as well as the problem of the homegrown terrorism have become the focal point of almost all national security strategies of European countries. The situation that followed drove the authors to set the possible approaches to solving this challenge to European security as a goal for their research. The subject of this article encompasses the process of deradicalization, as the only humane way to deal with the problem at hand, as well as the process of radicalization, as necessary for understanding the formation of the individuals that pose a threat to the security of Europe. The article also tackles the preventive work directed at those social groups that are deemed susceptible to radicalization, as well as the use of individualized and holistic approach to the radicalized individuals. Special consideration is given to the programs of deradicalization as a form of institutionalized way of dealing with this type of a security risk. In the conclusion the authors give their own view of what is the most adeqaute approach when working with radicalized individuals and the role of certain elements of society in it.
GOLUB BABIĆ AND MILETA DESPOTOVIĆ: SKETCHES FOR BIOGRAPHIES OF 1875–1878 INSURGENCE LEADERS IN BOSNIA
Authors: TEINOVIĆ BRATISLAV
Published: July 2021

Golub Babić and Mileta Despotović do not have separate biographies. These are sketches for their biographies, during the time they were at the head of the uprising in southwestern Bosnia from 1875 to 1878. In the 1860s, Golub Babić, still a migrant from Krajina, was involved in the conspiratorial activities of the Serbian government in Bosnia. He came to southwestern Bosnia in August 1875 from Belgrade, although a supporter of the guerrilla way of war, Duke Babić was the first to start forming a military organization according to the modern European model, while Educating the “Head Authority of the Rebellion” on that inaccessible terrain. With Serbiaʼs entry into the war against Turkey on June 28, 1876, the uprising in Bosnia became part of a united Serbian front. Babić was deposed and a native of Šumadija and a former Russian officer, Colonel Mileta Despotović was entrusted the work on further insurgent military organizations. With that change the previous guerrilla way of warfare was replaced by frontal warfare, however the insurgent army in southwestern Bosnia failed to defend itself from the superior Turkish enemy on August 4, 1877. A year later, the Berlin Congress and the Austro–Hungarian occupation found the insurgent army in complete disarray.
UNVEILING OF THE MEMORIAL OSSUARY IN SURDULICA IN 1924
Authors: ANTIĆ DEJAN
Published: July 2021

The aim of the research is to reconstruct the events that marked the act of unveiling and consecrating the Memorial Chapel in Surdulica on August 24, 1924. Due to the lack and disappearance of primary historical sources which are the direct consequence of the repeated Bulgarian occupation in the Second World War, the question of building and unveiling of the Memorial Ossuary in Surdulica as a symbol of the suffering of the Serbian south (1915-1918) has not been thoroughly discussed in historiography. By critically analyzing the texts in the Serbian daily newspapers Vreme, Pravda, Politika and the Bulgarian daily newspapers Mir and Praporec we intended to give an insight into historical uncertainties on this topic. The research was conducted on the corpus of the newspapers published from 23-29 August, 1924. The unit of analysis was each individual text which had the unveiling of the Memorial Ossuary as a topic, as well as the testimonies of contemporaries about one of the greatest Bulgarian crimes in World War I. Facts concerning the preparations of the local and state authorities in the Surdulica ceremony have also been presented in the paper. In addition, the text provides information about invitees, the final appearance of the Memorial, the relocation of the remains of the Surdulica victims from the temporary crypt to the newly built Memorial Tomb, while some space is given to the presentation of the national media articles about Bulgarian brutalities.
RAISING THE LEVEL OF COMPETITIVENESS IN SERVICES BY IMPLEMENTING TQM
Authors: GORAN ĐOKOVIĆ , PETAR ČELIK
Published: July 2021

The modern concept of quality emphasizes the customer as the only authoritative factor for quality assessment, thus success in the market is provided only by those who produce according to customer requirements. The market way of doing business, the openness of the international market and fierce competition, impose the need to apply the modern concept of quality. Quality is not easy to define, but it is an extremely important and complex phenomenon, which is observed in different contexts (e.g. value of products and services, value of life, value system, standards, etc.) and can be described with many attributes. Companies that manage to maintain productivity growth and technological progress are also able to keep pace with competitive advantages in the market. The competitiveness of a nation depends on the ability of its economy to innovate and improve. To be competitive, in today's business conditions, means to ensure continuous growth and development. By improving quality, the company provides greater differentiation in relation to rivals by providing greater value in the eyes of customers. The goal of a modern company is to improve all aspects of quality related to products or services, as well as activities, processes and organizational structure, by establishing a TQM concept.

Just Because the Data Is There, It Doesn’t Mean It’s Yours to Take
Authors: McCandless Kate
Published: July 2021

In research conducted using Twitter data, informed consent has taken the back seat. This literature review examines the perspectives of users, researchers and research ethics boards to provide nuance and context to the issue. Users are generally unaware that their data can be taken for research purposes and that they have agreed to be studied within the platform’s terms of service. This is concerning for both researchers and users alike, as it continues to blur the line of public and private information. Users want to be informed when they are being studied. When informed consent is not obtained, researchers are not respecting the data and the humans who created it. If researchers were required to obtain informed consent when engaging with Twitter data, the resulting research would be more ethical and protect everyone involved: the researcher, the user, and the university.

Authors: Ismail Diauddin
Published: July 2021

In everyday life, it is not uncommon when we hear the sound of chanting the holy verses of the Al Al Qur’an  which are read in mosques before prayer time or in other conditions we seem interested in knowing what Surah and which verse is being recited. This is due to the love of Muslims themselves for the Al Qur’an  but not all Muslims memorize the entire contents of the Al Qur’an . Based on the limitations and the magnitude of curiosity about Surah and Verse information, the writer is interested in developing a computer system that can recognize and provide information on the recited Surah and Verse. Advances in computer technology not only make it easier for humans to carry out activities. One of the human intelligences that are planted into computer technology is to recognize the verses of the Al Al Qur’an  Surah Al-Falaq through voice. Ada-Boost method is one method to identify or recognize voice classification, and by using this method the success rate in recognizing verse numbers reaches 72%. This system can only recognize the number of verses of the Al Al Qur’an  Surah Al-Falaq, recorded sound files with the .wav file extension and built using the Delphi programming language.

After approval from university Ethical board 63 cases wereselected by purposive sampling.The Tissue samples from diagnosed cases of urothelial carcinoma of urinary bladder were included.Cases of urothelial carcinoma from other sites were excluded. Paraffin embedded tissue blocks were cut and sections stained byH&E to evaluate histopathological features and tumor grades. Immunohistochemical expression of HER2 was determinedapplying standard techniques of immunohistochemistry.Results: Out of total 63 cases, 47 were males and 16 were female with a mean age of 60.7 years (range 14-90 years). There were38 High grade, 23 Low grade and 2 cases of PUNLMP. 36 cases were positive for HER2 expression in which 26(72.2%) were Highgrade, 9(25%) of Low grade and 1(2.7%) of PUNLMP. High grade was more common in HER2 positive cases and this relationshipwas significant (p<.05). Among positive 36 cases, 19 cases of +3 score were High grade, 05 in Low grade and 01 in PUNLMP whilescore 2+ was in 07 cases of High grade and 04 were in Low grade. The relationship of HER2 score was not significantly related tograde of tumor (p>.05)Conclusion: HER2 is highly expressed in high grades of urothelial carcinoma bladder and this relationship between HER2expression and tumor grades is statistically significant.Keywords: HER2, Urothelial carcinoma, Grades, Immunohistochemistry

Background: Head injury is the most serious problem all around the world. Over the last 200 years both surgical and conservativemanagement have been evolved. Chronological surgical management yields better outcome by decreasing mortality andmorbidity. Wound debridement, repair of dural defect and closure of wound are standard principles in management.Objective: To study the outcomes of surgical management of depressed skull fracture.Material and methods: This study was conducted in Shifa Medical center from 1st June 2016 to 30thJune 2019. Clinical featurescause, and computerized tomography (CT) pictures were compiled in proforma. Whenever depressed fracture size exceeded than5mm, cosmetically disfiguring and fracture over the sinus were operated. All the patients were followed for six months.Results: Total of 60 patients were included 42 patients (70%) were male and 18(30%) were female. Pediatric population was majorcontributor 36 out of 60 patients (ratio60%). 56 patients (93.33%)operated, 4 patients (6.67%) were treated conservatively. These 4patients(6.67%) had severe head injury and were put on ventilator 32 patients (53.3%)fully recovered, 12 patients (20%) hadmoderate disability, 8 patients (13%) had severe disability and 3 patients(4.8%)pass away in this study.Conclusion: It was found that, depressed skull fracture was mostly common in children. Usage of antibiotic and anticonvulsantshad effective results in term of preventing infection and epilepsy during perioperative period. Initial stage surgical treatment isexceptionally required where size of fracture exceed 5mm. Outcome depended upon the sternness of injury and existence ofassociated intra cerebral lesion.Key words: surgical management, depressed skull fracture (DSF) and CSF leakage.

COVID-19 adalah penyakit yang disebabkan oleh virus SARS-CoV-2 yang merupakan bagian dari tipe virus Corona. Virus ini bisa menular jika kita kontak langsung dengan orang yang terinfeksi atau dengan cairan yang dikeluarkannya oleh saat batuk dan bersin. Virus dapat berpindah ke tubuh kita, bila tanpa sengaja kita menyentuh benda-benda tersebut lalu menyentuh wajah (mata, mulut, dan hidung) dengan tangan yang telah terkontaminasi. Mencuci tangan sesering mungkin dan dengan cara yang tepat (setidaknya selama 40 detik) adalah salah satu langkah paling penting untuk mencegah infeksi COVID-19. Cuci Tangan Pakai Sabun (CTPS) jauh lebih efektif membunuh kuman, bakteri, dan virus dibandingkan dengan mencuci tangan dengan air saja.

Upaya yang dilakukan pemerintah dalam merespon situasi yang terjadi sebagai dampak dari pandemi COVID-19 yaitu dengan menyediakan saran   cuci tangan pakai sabun diberbagai tempat publik. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah untuk memberikan Edukasi Penyediaan Sarana Air Bersih untuk menunjang Penerapan Pola Hygiene Pada Kesehatan Ibu dan Anak Secara Holistic di Era Gawat Darurat Covid 19”.

Contextual Personality-Aware Recommender System Versus Big Data Recommender System
Authors: Szmydt Marcin
Published: July 2021

Many personality theories suggest that personality influences customer shopping preference. Thus, this research analyses the potential ability to improve the accuracy of the collaborative filtering recommender system by incorporating the Five-Factor Model personality traits data obtained from customer text reviews. The study uses a large Amazon dataset with customer reviews and information about verified customer product purchases. However, evaluation results show that the model leveraging big data by using the whole Amazon dataset provides better recommendations than the recommender systems trained in the contexts of the customer personality traits.
Generating a Condensed Representation for Positive and Negative Association Rules
Authors: Parfait Bemarisika , Totohasina André
Published: July 2021

Given a large collection of transactions containing items, a basic common association rules problem is the huge size of the extracted rule set. Pruning uninteresting and redundant association rules is a promising approach to solve this problem. In this paper, we propose a Condensed Representation for Positive and Negative Association Rules representing non-redundant rules for both exact and approximate association rules based on the sets of frequent generator itemsets, frequent closed itemsets, maximal frequent itemsets, and minimal infrequent itemsets in database B. Experiments on dense (highly-correlated) databases show a significant reduction of the size of extracted association rule set in database B.
Developing a Legal Form Classification and Extraction Approach for Company Entity Matching
Authors: Kruse Felix , Awick Jan-Philipp , Marx Gómez Jorge , Loos Peter
Published: July 2021

This paper explores the data integration process step record linkage. Thereby we focus on the entity company. For the integration of company data, the company name is a crucial attribute, which often includes the legal form. This legal form is not concise and consistent represented among different data sources, which leads to considerable data quality problems for the further process steps in record linkage. To solve these problems, we classify and ex-tract the legal form from the attribute company name. For this purpose, we iteratively developed four different approaches and compared them in a benchmark. The best approach is a hybrid approach combining a rule set and a supervised machine learning model. With our developed hybrid approach, any company data sets from research or business can be processed. Thus, the data quality for subsequent data processing steps such as record linkage can be improved. Furthermore, our approach can be adapted to solve the same data quality problems in other attributes.
A Scoping Review of the Digital Transformation Literature Using Scientometric Analysis

Published: July 2021

Digital transformation is the rapidly expanding research field dealing with the increased impact of digital technologies on both business and society. Due to the large number of papers and the semantic ambiguity surrounding the terminology, covering such a broad topic is difficult. To help researchers gain a better understanding of the knowledge structure of the research field, we conduct a scoping review using scientometrics. We searched for publications dealing with digital transformation on both Scopus and Web of Science. We downloaded their bibliometric data and thoroughly merged and cleaned it using lemmatization and stemmatization. This dataset was analyzed using VOSviewer to create co-author networks and co-word occurrence graphs of the titles, abstracts, and keywords. We also visualized the growth of the research field and retrieved the top conferences and journals based on the number of papers and the number of citations. K-means clustering was performed on the abstracts and keywords to find similar research focuses. These findings highlight the broad scope of the research field, the ambiguity of the terminology, the lack of collaboration, and the absence of research into the impact of digital transformation on society. Moving forward, more research needs to be done to establish the boundaries of digital transformation and to investigate the importance of society in this phenomenon.
Efforts to Generate a Male Contraception Just by Prevention of Sperm Motility Acquirement in Epididymis Without Influencing the Physiology of Spermatogenesis: Yet Still a Little Far Goal
Authors: Kaur Kulvinder Kochar , Allahbadia Gautam , Singh Mandeep
Published: July 2021

In view of the world population escalating at an alarming rate anticipated population will reach 9.8 billion by 2050. In contrast to female contraceptive measures male contraceptive methods are relatively negligible. Maximum researchers have concentrated on generation of male contraceptive methods by trying to modulate hormones but had to abandon this strategy as the pharmaceutical companies were not happy in view of marked adverse actions. Maximum nonhormonal strategies in research concentrate on spermatogenesis repression or reversible physical barriers. Sperm motility represents one of the maximum significant markers of semen quality as it is necessary for sperm motion appropriately in the female reproductive tract for it to arrive intricately towards the egg as well as fertilize it. The group of Vijayraghavan S, et al. have been concentrating on generation of a male contraceptive by utilization of targeting sperm motility at epididymal level by extensively studying the regulation of flaggelar protein motion by various subunits like Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1), Protein Phosphatase Inhibitor-2 (PPPIR2), its phosphorylation by Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK3), A kinase anchor protein 4(AKAP4). Recently they attempted to generate a bioportide that could simulate binding of the anchor protein AKAP4 that had been earlier revealed as a PPγ2 interactor in human sperm,that are implicated in sperm motility .Unfortunately that did not abolish sperm motility completely .This seemed to be surprising as PP1/ PPPIR2crosstalk seems to be central in regulation of sperm motility. Thus Silva et al., pointed that evaluation of the probable part of PPPIR7 as well as PPPIR11 in the manipulation of sperm motility in men might be the aim of future studies that needs to be continued to get more insight in this field.
