ProGlide entrapment of the occlusive balloon during repair of an iatrogenic subclavian artery injury
Authors: Kemp Benjamin JR , Kearns Daniel J , Uberoi Raman
Published: September 2023

The insertion of any central venous catheter (CVC) is associated with a risk of damage to neurovascular structures, pneumothorax, cardiac arrhythmias, and infection 1 . Unintentional arterial puncture remains rare, occurring in 6.3–9.4% of attempted internal jugular vein (IJV) catheterisation and 3.1-4.9% of attempted subclavian vein catheterisation 2 .

We present a previously undocumented complication encountered while utilising the Perclose ProGlide device in the case of a 59-year-old male who underwent right subclavian artery closure following the accidental insertion of a 14Fr Vascath into the right subclavian artery. This was performed using two ProGlide devices and one Angio-Seal device. Following deployment of the ProGlide devices, an uninflated balloon passed into the subclavian artery as a precaution, but not used, was removed. One of the ProGlide devices became dislodged having been deployed into the balloon, threatening haemostasis.
Αφηγηματολογικές αναγνώσεις σε τέσσερις ευριπίδειες τραγωδίες: Άλκηστις, Ελένη, Ιφιγένεια εν Ταύροις, Ίων
Authors: Σιδέρη Αικατερίνη
Published: September 2023

Η διατριβή εντάσσεται στο πλαίσιο του θεωρητικού προβληματισμού που αφορά στην εφαρμογή της σύγχρονης αφηγηματικής θεωρίας στο δράμα. Στόχος της μελέτης δεν είναι τόσο να αποδειχθεί η δυνατότητα εφαρμογής της μεθόδου στα θεατρικά κείμενα -καθώς το ερώτημα αυτό έχει εν πολλοίς απαντηθεί από την έρευνα-, όσο να καταδειχθούν οι νέες ερμηνευτικές προοπτικές που διανοίγει η αξιοποίησή της στο πεδίο της αρχαίας ελληνικής τραγωδίας. Για τον σκοπό αυτό επιλέγονται τέσσερις τραγωδίες (Άλκηστις, Ελένη, Ιφιγένεια εν Ταύροις, Ίων) που εμφανίζουν μία σειρά από ανεπανάληπτες ιδιαιτερότητες στην πλοκή τους και εγείρουν ειδολογικά ζητήματα. Σε καθεμία από τις υπό εξέταση τραγωδίες αφιερώνεται κι ένα ξεχωριστό κεφάλαιο και η ανάλυση γίνεται ανά επεισόδιο, ώστε να καταστεί σαφές ότι τα έργα αποτελούν ένα αδιάσπαστο αφηγηματικό σύνολο. Στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο αναλύεται η Άλκηστις, στο δεύτερο η Ελένη, στο τρίτο η Ιφιγένεια εν Ταύροις και στο τέταρτο ο Ίων. Στο πέμπτο και τελευταίο κεφάλαιο της διατριβής ξεδιπλώνονται τα βασικότερα σημεία της ευριπίδειας αφηγηματικής στρατηγικής, όπως αυτά προκύπτουν από την αφηγηματολογική διερεύνηση των δραμάτων, που προηγείται.

Τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες γίνονται πολλές κοσμογονικές αλλαγές σε όλους σχεδόν τους τομείς του διεθνούς περιβάλλοντος και μέσω αυτών έχει διαπιστωθεί ότι η εκπαίδευση αποτελεί τον σημαντικότερο διαμορφωτικό παράγοντα τόσο στις οικονομικές όσο και στις κοινωνικοπολιτικές εξελίξεις. Η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση (ΕΕ) καλείται να αντιμετωπίσει όλες αυτές τις αναδυόμενες προκλήσεις και αλλαγές και έτσι η εκπαίδευση αναδεικνύεται σε βασικό πεδίο δράσης καθώς συνδέεται άρρηκτα με τις οικονομικές και κοινωνικές παραμέτρους των ευρωπαϊκών προοπτικών ανάπτυξης. Για το λόγο αυτό, όλες οι πρωτοβουλίες και οι προωθούμενες παρεμβάσεις, δράσεις και στρατηγικές των κρατών μελών της ΕΕ θα πρέπει να είναι άρρηκτα συνδεδεμένες και συνεπείς με την εκάστοτε εκπαιδευτική πολιτική της. Σύμφωνα με τα νέα δεδομένα, που προέκυψαν τα τελευταία χρόνια, και σε συνδυασμό με τη σοβαρή δοκιμασία λόγω της παγκόσμιας χρηματοπιστωτικής κρίσης του 2008, η οποία με τη σειρά της έπληξε τα περισσότερα κράτη μέλη της ΕΕ, αλλά και λόγω της πανδημίας Covid-19 που μαστίζει ακόμη την ανθρωπότητα, και που έχει πολλές αρνητικές συνέπειες για την οικονομία και την εκπαίδευση, κρίνεται απαραίτητη η δημιουργία ενός νέου αναπτυξιακού εκπαιδευτικού μοντέλου. Αυτό το μοντέλο απαιτεί πρώτα απ' όλα σωστή ενδυνάμωση και αναδιάρθρωση της οικονομικής και κοινωνικής υποδομής, ένα από τα βασικά στοιχεία της οποίας είναι η δημιουργία μιας σύγχρονης και αποτελεσματικής εκπαίδευσης, η οποία θα προσαρμοστεί στις νέες απαιτήσεις της τρίτης χιλιετίας. Η παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή στοχεύει και φιλοδοξεί να διερευνήσει, μέσα από μια θεωρητική συγκριτική μελέτη αλλά και μια στατιστική ανάλυση, τις πολιτικές ανάπτυξης των σχολείων δευτεροβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης στην ΕΕ και ειδικότερα τις πολιτικές που αναφέρονται σε επιλεγμένους τομείς εκπαίδευσης για τα τέσσερα κράτη-μέλη της ΕΕ, οι οποίες είναι: Ελλάδα, Γαλλία, Ιταλία και Γερμανία. Ειδικότερα, στα δύο κεφάλαια που αναφέρονται για την εκπαίδευση στην Ελλάδα, θα ακολουθήσει μια διεξοδική ανάλυση για το ποια είναι η τρέχουσα κατάσταση σε πολλούς τομείς της δευτεροβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης στη χώρα μου, επίσης θα αναφερθούν ποιες είναι οι εφαρμοσμένες αναπτυξιακές πολιτικές σε αυτό το εκπαιδευτικό επίπεδο, μέσα από τα υπάρχοντα προγράμματα σπουδών τους και μετά τις διάφορες μεταρρυθμίσεις που έχουν γίνει τα τελευταία χρόνια, και τέλος, ποια είναι η κατάσταση και ο μελλοντικός σχεδιασμός για όλα τα παραπάνω.
Διερεύνηση των προσδιοριστικών παραγόντων και μεθόδων πρόβλεψης της συναλλαγματικής ισοτιμίας ευρώ/δολαρίου

Η παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή μελετά τους προσδιοριστικούς παράγοντες και τις μεθόδους πρόβλεψης της συναλλαγματικής ισοτιμίας ευρώ/δολαρίου. Μέσω μιας μελέτης περίπτωσης (event study), μελετάται η επίδραση των ανακοινώσεων της Ευρωπαϊκής Κεντρικής Τράπεζας (ΕΚΤ) και της Ομοσπονδιακής Τράπεζας της Αμερικής (FED) στην ισοτιμία ευρώ/δολαρίου, Bitcoin/ευρώ και Bitcoin/δολαρίου. Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη ότι η αγορά συναλλάγματος είναι η μεγαλύτερη χρηματοοικονομική αγορά, μελετήθηκε μέσω ενός Διορθωμένου Αυτοπαλίνδρομου Διανυσματικού Μοντέλου (VECM) η επίδραση της ισοτιμίας ευρώ/ δολαρίου στην περιβαλλοντική υποβάθμιση μέσω των εκπομπών του διοξειδίου του άνθρακα. Σε μια περίοδο όπου κυριαρχεί τόσο η οικονομική αστάθεια λόγω της πανδημίας, όσο και η επίσπευση του ψηφιακού μετασχηματισμού, μελετάται μέσω μιας κρουστικής απόκρισης (impulse response) η μεταβλητότητα και η αλληλεπίδραση που εμφανίζουν η αγορά των κρυπτονομισμάτων, του χρυσού και η χρηματιστηριακή. Συνοπτικά, τα αποτελέσματα της διατριβής δείχνουν ότι σε περιόδους πολιτικής και οικονομικής αστάθειας, η αντίδραση των ισοτιμιών είναι μη αναμενόμενη. Οι ανακοινώσεις των Κεντρικών Τραπεζών επηρεάζουν έντονα τις ισοτιμίες. Συγκεκριμένα, εξήχθη το συμπέρασμα ότι οι ισοτιμίες δεν επηρεάστηκαν τόσο από την ίδια την ανακοίνωση, αλλά από τον τρόπο με τον οποίο την εξέλαβε και αντέδρασε η αγορά. Η ισοτιμία ευρώ/δολαρίου επηρεάζει θετικά τις εκπομπές του διοξειδίου του άνθρακα βραχυχρόνια και αρνητικά μακροχρόνια. Χρησιμοποιώντας το πακέτο Bibliometrix R-tool, η βιβλιογραφική ανάλυση ανέδειξε ότι η μελέτη της μεταβλητότητας των κρυπτονομισμάτων, αλλά και η αλληλεπίδραση τους με άλλες χρηματοοικονομικές αγορές (χρυσός, χρηματιστήριο) είναι θέματα σημαντικά στην ερευνητική κοινότητα που δεν έχουν μελετηθεί αρκετά.
COVID-19 Pandemic and the Incidence of Postpartum Depression: a Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Rovit Elizabeth R. , Pickholz Eliana L. , Fox Kira S. , Fox Nathan S.
Published: September 2023

Introduction: To estimate the association between COVID-19 and postpartum depression (PPD) in a retrospective cohort study.
Material and methods: Pregnant women who delivered between September 2019-June 2021 at a Mouth Sinai Health System practice in New York City were identified. Baseline information about maternal health, pregnancy outcomes, and postpartum visits were obtained from electronic health records. Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scores (EPDS) were used as a postpartum depressive symptom marker. Three analyses were performed to compare scores between: (1) women who delivered before and after COVID-19, (2) pregnant women who delivered after the pandemic who did and did not contract COVID-19, and 3) pregnant women eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine who were and were not vaccinated.
Results: A total of 1.797 pregnant women were identified. Pregnant women during the pandemic had statistically significant higher rates of pre-existing mental health diagnoses and psychiatric medicine use compared to those who were pregnant before. No difference was observed in EPDS scores of pregnant women who delivered before vs. after the start of COVID-19 nor between COVID-vaccinated and unvaccinated pregnant women. Women who contracted COVID-19 in pregnancy had lower EPDS scores than women who did not. Results remain unchanged after controlling for baseline mental health diagnoses.
Conclusions: In our cohort, EPDS scores were not associated with pregnancy during the pandemic, COVID infection while pregnant, or COVID vaccination during pregnancy. However, we did identify a higher incidence of baseline mental health diagnoses during the COVID pandemic, but that did not lead to a higher rate of positive screens for postpartum depression.
Erosivity Factor of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) - A Systematized Review
Authors: Suhara K K Shaheemath , Varughese Anu , Sunny Anjaly C , Krishna P R Anjitha
Published: September 2023

The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) is a globally accepted erosion model which has gained good acceptability. Among the five influences of the RUSLE method of soil erosion estimation, the erosivity factor (R) represents rainfall event’s ability to produce erosion. It is mainly affected by rainfall intensity and kinetic energy of the rain. The erosion index represented by EI30 is the most common R-factor estimation method. Due to the non-availability of rainfall intensity data in many watersheds, researchers have developed methods for erosivity estimation using rainfall depth. The Modified Fournier Index method has gained popularity. Recently, different models using machine learning techniques and ANN are also being set up to establish the R-factor for soil loss estimation. These models can estimate the R-factor quickly and more accurately. They can even predict the R-factor for the future to predict soil loss and plan conservation measures accordingly. An attempt has been made here to review different methodologies proposed by scientists across the globe for arriving at the R-factor for soil loss estimation using RUSLE model.
A Technical Review on Performance and Emission Characteristics of Diesel Engine Fueled with Straight Vegetable Oil
Authors: Tiwari Kamta Prasad , Singh Ram Narayan
Published: September 2023

As energy reserves are depleting day by day and the environment is polluted, finding an alternative to fossil fuel has become an essential task for the world community. Green fuel (straight vegetable oil) has been found to be a capable alternative to fossil fuel in many applications. Using unprocessed unblended straight vegetable oils (UUSVOs) as a fuel for diesel engine is advantageous in minimizing the processing time, energy, and cost associated with biodiesel production. However, the higher viscosity of vegetable oils limits their long-run use in diesel engine. A planned methodology is, however, required to resolve the issues of poor engine performance and affected emission parameters. This article aimed to present a critical review of the impact of UUSVOs on the performance and emission level of diesel engine during short and long-run engine operations. The crucial aim of this article is to find an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuel that may serve the world community. The recent literature review shows that straight vegetable oils (SVOs) may become an excellent alternative to diesel engines during short-run operations. However, long-run operation with SVOs as a fuel creates many problems related to damage and maintenance of the engine parts, deteriorated engine performance, significant variation in emission, chocking of injector and fuel line, degraded lubricating oil quality, etc. Engine performance can be improved through the optimization of operation parameters and fuel preheating prior to the injector.

One vertical aquaponics unit following the principle of Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) has been designed and developed at ICAR-Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture, Bhubaneswar centre of All India Coordinated Research Project on Plasticulture Engineering in Agriculture Structures and Environment Management (AICRP on PEASEM). The developed unit is constructed using three major components, viz., fish tank/ aquarium tank (0.127 m3), vertical hydroponic pipe (Ø0.16×1.5 m) and the water distribution system. The unit experimented with 30 numbers of Guppy fish (Poecilia reticulata) in 0.1 cubic meters of water and 6 numbers of Petunia plant (Petunia × hybrida) and 6 numbers of Zinnia plant (Zinnia angustifolia) in 780 CC hydroponics cups arranged at 20° from the vertical axis on a PVC pipe. The quad channel sprinkler is fixed inside the pipe at the top surface. The water dispersion efficiency concerning the availability of nutrient-rich water at the roots of the plants for its flowering has been evaluated in the present study. The optimum water quality and flower production from the plants were achieved at 200 LPH flow rate from the fish tank. At this hydrolic loading rate, maximum plant length & spread were observed among the three replications . The length & spread for Zinnia angustifolia and Petunia x hybrida were 37.17±4.27 cm & 39.54±7.45 cm, and 33.43±2.53 cm & 29.58±7.26 cm respectively. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the water quality parameters at 200 & 250 LPH flow rates in the vertical aquaponics system.The cost of one unit is calculated to be INR 7000, with approximately a 10-20% price reduction in case of mass production. The newly developed integrated system of aquarium is designed for peri-urban and urban hobby farming as well as home decoration.

Published: September 2023

The environmental effect of industrial effluents, including chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), copper (Cu), and nickel (Ni) can have harmful impacts, which includes soil, water, and air pollution, bioaccumulation in food chains, degradation of ecosystems, loss of biodiversity, and contaminated drinking water. Biopolymers such as chitosan have been widely used in wastewater treatment. The ability of thiocarbamoyl chitosan to remove lead ions was assessed by combining thio urea and glutaraldehyde (GLA). During the first two hours of interaction with sorbent, 86% of the metal ions were shown to have been eliminated. According to the adsorption investigation, the prepared sorbent had an outstanding removal rate of metal ions, with a Langmuir maximum absorption capacity of 38 mg/gm at 25 degrees Celsius and a pH of 6. With a linear coefficient of 0.9996, the data on adsorption kinetics were predicted using a pseudo-second order kinetic model. The Langmuir isotherm, which suggests favourable adsorption by homogenous monolayer adsorption, might represent the adsorption process effectively. The adsorption procedure was also demonstrated to be exothermic at all temperatures, with spontaneous responses being energetically endorsed as indicated by negative free energy values.

Published: September 2023

The distressing levels of air pollution in India is becoming health hazard to the inhabitants. It's important to note that due to the nation's continued urbanisation and its heavy reliance on coal for electricity generation, air pollution is expected to get worse in some areas of India over the next few decades. Present study aims to address the issue by identifying the sources causing air pollution using Hierarchical Agglomerative Cluster Analysis [HACA]. Two years daily data (2018 and 2019), downloaded from publicly available source Kaggle.com of sixteen selected air pollution monitoring stations was used for the study. The stations were selected based upon diversified environmental conditions and local sources. HACA was successful in grouping the monitoring stations into four clusters based on their average Air Quality Index (AQI) level. These four clusters are named as Low Pollution, Moderate Pollution, High Pollution and Very High Pollution Region [LPR, MPR, HPR and VHPR] with average AQI 96; 135; 173 and 227 respectively. Discriminant Analysis (DA) confirmed the resulting clusters with 100% accuracy. It was found that stations with similar environmental factors, regional sources, and pollution amounts were clustered together. Despite numerous actions taken by the authorities to reduce air pollution, it was noticed that topographical conditions play an essential role in the rise of pollution. This study helps to implement different strategies by the authorities’ concern based on local sources and topographical conditions.

Salinity stress limits agricultural productivity by adversely affecting seed germination and seedling growth. It negatively impacts essential metabolic processes by imposing osmotic and oxidative stress due to ion toxicity. Seed priming is an innovative approach that can ensure seed germination and seedling establishment for ameliorating salinity stress in plants. In this study, response of two popular rice cultivars, PB 1121 and PB 1718 to various priming treatments was evaluated under salt stress. Out of the two, cultivar PB 1718 performed better and showed improved germination, and plant growth when given a priming treatment with Salicylic acid (1mM), KNO3 (1%), Moringa leaf extract (100%) and Neem leaf extract (50%) under salt stress of NaCl (150 mM). In cultivar PB 1121, no significant change was seen in germination indices under salt stress as compared to control. However, Salicylic acid (1mM), KNO3 (1%), Proline (50mM), Moringa leaf extract (100%), MgSO4 (10mM) and Neem leaf extract (50%) treatments resulted in improved root growth.

Published: September 2023

Landscape is multifaceted and it is the result of human interactions with their surrounding environment. More than half of the population of the world is dependent on the mountains for their ecosystem services which are now exhibiting signs of human pressure in the form of environment degradation. Himalayan Mountains are also fast succumbing to human greed for land and resources, resulting in the changes in their landscape. In this work we evaluate land use/land cover (LULC) changes in the biodiversity hotspot within a particular region located in the Western Himalaya. Sainj River Valley is in Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh. This study area is one of the major tributary of river Beas with an altitudinal range between 900 to 5800 meters, covering an area of 748.33 km2 and supporting a population over 25000 persons. For this study, we use GIS tools and remote sensing imagery of LANDSAT 5 and LANDSAT 8 for the year 1989 and 2020 respectively. Image classification has been done by using supervised classification with Maximum Likelihood Classifier (MLC) where seven different classes are identified. The result reveals significant increase in land use classes such as agriculture (34.19%); settlements (89.42%), barren land (33.54%), and pasture land (19.01%) while noticeable decrease has been observed in snow cover (60%) and forest land (14.18%). A considerable change in barren land to pasture and forest land reflects the biodiversity conservation and management efforts of the park administration.

Published: September 2023

The transfer of energy from producers to consumers, such as fish, fish larvae, and invertebrates, is facilitated by zooplankton. Consequently, zooplankton play a crucial part in the productivity and functioning of aquatic ecosystems, and they are also involved in the application of several emerging environmental management concepts, such as Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), bioindication of pollution, and biomonitoring. To analyse the present condition of the Anchar Lake, this research was conducted to investigate the zooplankton association, their abundance, richness, diversity (Cladocera and Rotifera), and their seasonal fluctuations in connection to limnological factors. Four sampling sites were used to examine thirteen physicochemical parameters along with the abundance of zooplankton from January 2019 to December 2020. During the present investigation, significant variation (p < 0.05) was observed in transparency (trans), dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total alkalinity (TA), nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), total hardness (TH), and total phosphorus (TP) between the different sites of Anchar Lake, whereas non-significant variation was observed in air temperature (AT), water temperature (WT), free carbon dioxide (FCO2), chloride (Cl-), and nitrite-nitrogen (NO2-N). The results further revealed a total of 44 zooplankton species, belonging to two: Rotifera (27 species) and Cladocera (17 species). The zooplankton diversity was found to vary on spatiotemporal scales showing maximum values for the Shannon diversity index in the case of Cladocera during spring (2.63±0.25) and for Rotifera during summer (2.53±0.25) whereas, minimum diversity values were recorded during winter for both Cladocera and Rotifera (1.54±0.44 & 1.47±0.54 respectively). On the spatial scale, site-A2 showed maximum diversity of Cladocera (2.3±0.21), while site-A4 showed maximum diversity of Rotifera (1.99±0.03). The influence of physicochemical parameters on zooplankton distribution and diversity provides a detailed picture of the impact of pollution load in Anchar Lake.

Hamamlar, Türk kültüründe önemli bir yere sahip olan geleneksel temizlenme mekânlarıdır. Geniş bir yapı içerisinde tasarlanan hamamlar temizlik kültürü etrafında toplumsal iletişimin gerçekleştiği kültürel değerlerin yaşatıldığı sosyal mekânlar olmuşlardır. Anadolu’daki hamam geleneği Roma hamam kültürünün bir devamı olmuş, bu gelenek zamanla yeni değerler kazanarak özgün bir form kazanmıştır.

Bu çalışmada somut ve somut olmayan kültürel mirasın korunması kapsamında Gaziantep kent merkezindeki hamam kültürünü kayıt altına alarak muhafaza etmek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla literatür araştırmasıyla birlikte kişisel görüşme ve gözlem yöntemleri kullanılarak veriler toplanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerle Gaziantep hamam kültürünün son yüzyıldaki durumu ve değişimi belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada, hamam kültürünün tarihi ve Gaziantep hamamları hakkında bilgi verildikten sonra geçiş dönemleri bağlamında hamam çeşitleri ve Gaziantep’te hamam kültürü etrafında yaratılmış edebi ürünler hakkında bilgi sunulmuştur. Ardından kent kültüründeki hamam geleneğinin tanınmasına yardımcı olan Gaziantep hamam müzesi hakkında bilgi aktarılmış, günümüzde değişen banyo yapısı ve kültürü ile hamam geleneğinin değişim ve dönüşümü hakkında bir değerlendirme sunulmuştur. Bunun sonucunda, geçtiğimiz yüzyılda zengin kültürel içerikle törensel faaliyetlerin gerçekleştirildiği hamamların geleneksel fonksiyonunu yavaş yavaş kaybettiği; bireysel ev banyoları, lüks tüketim mekânı olan işletmeler ve otel bünyelerindeki yeni unsurlara sahip hamamların temizlik için daha sık tercih edildiği ve bu ortamlarda eski geleneklerin bir kısmının kaybolduğu bir kısmının ise güncellendiği ve dönüştüğü görülmüştür.
Making of the “Pristine Vegetables”: Soil-Transmitted Parasites and U.S. Military Procurement in Korea
Authors: JUNG Junho
Published: September 2023

In the twenty-first century Korea, “Pristine Vegetables(청정채소, 淸淨菜蔬)” refers to organic products grown without the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. However, the meaning of “Pristine” was radically different until 1970s. After the Korean War, the infection rate of intestinal parasite reached almost 100 percent in Korean population. Disruption in chemical fertilizers manufacturing pressured farmers to use night-soil, which was contaminated with parasite eggs, causing the vicious cycle of infection. At the same time, rapid urbanization increased the demands of fresh vegetables in the city, leading to a large amount of semi-urban agricultural practices. This was closely linked with the national economy; as most of Korean vegetable products were contaminated with parasites, they were deemed unsuitable for export. In 1957, US Army stationed in Seoul issued a guideline for producing local vegetables acceptable for US troop consumption. This gave rise to the concept of “Pristine Vegetables” that were free of any infectious materials. These practices continued well into the 1970s. Due to the lack of sewage treatment system, the waste of urban population provided necessary fertilizer for these farmers without much cost. In order to secure public health, the Korean government actively encouraged the use of chemical fertilizers, naming the vegetables “Pristine.” This effort included the ban of night-soil in urban and semi-urban farms and the establishment of Pristine Vegetable Shops. However, the rapid decline of parasitic diseases in the population and the rising concerns of environmental pollutions reshaped Pristine Vegetables from chemical to organic in the 1980s. Thus, Pristine Vegetable in Korea during late twentieth century exemplifies rapid transformation of the urban environment, showing shifted concept of cleanness and contaminants among the public and policymakers, as well as acceptable risk of the urban environment in Korea.

RESENHA
Authors: Dias Falcão Adnil
Published: September 2023

Originário de sua tese de doutoramento em Economia pela Unicamp e estigmatizado como uma crítica à crítica da Teoria do Capital Humano, o trabalho da Salm é um convite à reftexão. Aliás o seu tema - a relação entre escola e trabalho na sociedade capitalista -, por si só, também o é. Dividido em duas partes, intituladas 'Sobre a Escola' (p.27-54) e “Sobre o Trabalho' (p.55-101), o livro propõe-se a mostrar a improcedência do vinculo direto, linear, entre educação e produtividade - idéia central da Teoria do Capital Humano e assumida pelos seus críticos - a partir da evidência histórica de que o processo produtivo, na sua evolução, prescinde de trabalho qualificado. À questão de fundo colocada por Salm é “o agigantamento patológico do sistema educacional e as condições de trabalho aviltadas para a maioria' (p.20). Sua constatação é de que “se a finalidade da produção capitalista é a reprodução das relações capitalistas de produção, é no seio da produção mesma que devemos buscar a formação das qualificações requeridas e não numa instituição à margem como é a escola” (p.25). Sua proposta é “argumentar que nem a escola é capitalista, nem o capital precisa dela, como existe, para preparar o trabalhador” (p.29). Para fazê-lo, declara-se “semproblemas com a idéia da escola como instância da superestrutura envolvida na reprodução das classes sociais” (p.19) e afirma que “o papel ideológico da escola pouco nos diz sobre seus vínculos concretos com a empresa” (p.34). Sua conclusão é de que a redefinição do papel da escola na sociedade capitalista deve ser buscada no “ideal de Dewey" - na formação do cidadão para a democracia (p.101). Seu referencial teórico é a teoria marxista.

Published: September 2023

A natureza , a história, a motogênese, os ideais, o sonho, a evasão e a utopia são forças simbólicas e retóricas que circulam e dimensionam o ideário ramântico europeu. Esses, quando aportam no Brasil, interagem com a literatura que tematiza (desde o descobrimento) o índio e a natureza local. Essa interação revela-se produtiva e alcança grande singuralidade no projeto nacionalista e nas fábulas da nação enredadas pelo polêmico José de Alencar autodenominado o piguara da literatura brasileira.

Authors: Furiam Dias Sandra Maria , Souza Vaz Luciano Mendes
Published: September 2023

A compostagem pode ser definida como um processo de decomposição de resíduos orgânicos, por populações de microrganismos aeróbicos. O processo acaba quando o composto orgânico é obtido. À compostagem necessita de cuidados durante o desenvolvimento de processo, sendo necessário monitorar a massa de fixo orgânico. À monitoragem consta de medição diária da temperatura, controle da aeração (reviramento manual), verificação do grau de umidade, análise de sólidos voláteis, análises de macro-nuirientes e metais pesados. O húmus resultante do processo é considerado excelente recondicionador de solos. O presente artigo aborda a importância do monitoramento da compostagem do lixo orgânico produzido no campus-UFFS, cujo objetivo é adaptar o processo à realidade local, a fim de obter um composto de boa qualidade.

O GENTIO É GENTE (MAS NEM TANTO): MENDES PINTO E O MUNDO SEM CRISTO
Authors: Ferreira de Lima Francisco
Published: September 2023

Uma boa parte da crítica costuma apresentar Fernão Mendes Pinto como um narrador desprovido de preconceitos étnicos, políticos e religiosos, praticante, portanto, de um humanismo de cu- nho universal. Este artigo mostra que tal universalidade é pratica- mente inexistente na Peregrinação. Ao contrário do que tais formula- ções querem fazer crer, o que ali se observa é um narrador — embora feroz crítico do excesso de mando — firmemente empenhado no projeto de dilatar a fé e o império.

Authors: Matos Rocha Gonçalves Ana Angélica
Published: September 2023

Repensar a Escola Pública em busca do seu papel social, da competência técnica, do compromisso político cada vez maior com as classes populares, visando a melhoria da qualidade do ensino, é o objetivo perseguido pelo Programa Integração da Universidade com a Escola Básica. Os projetos que integram esse Programa vêm desenvolvendo suas ações, atentos a uma nova dimensão do processo ensino-aprendizagem em que as descobertas de novas alternativas de trabalho e uma relação dialógica permanente conscientizem o aluno e o libertem da passividade e da repetição descontextualizada, favorecendo, assim, a construção de um saber elaborado que lhe oportunize o pleno exercício de cidadania. Acredita-se que o Programa possa contribuir, também, para melhoria do ensino de 3º grau. Alunos e professores da UEFS têm encontrado, na comunidade, uma forma de reelaborar o conhecimento acadêmico através da práxis, oferecendo subsídios para oxigenação e redimensionamento curricular dos cursos de Licenciatura da UEFS, bem como a criação e a difusão de novos conhecimentos.
DETERMINAÇÃO DO TEOR DE ILITA EM ARGILOMINERAIS INTERESTRATIFICADOS A PARTIR DA ANÁLISE DO POTÁSSIO TOTAL
Authors: Dos Santos Josias Paulo
Published: September 2023

Procurou-se determinar os percentuais de ilita presentes em argilominerais interestratificados dos vertissolos da Bacia Sedimentar do Recôncavo, a partir dos resultados de análises do potássio total, ao lado de análises de Si2O e Al2O3, e análises de raios X antecedentes da amostra. O método mostra-se apropriado, quando aplicado para estudos de amostras simples ou de misturas simples de minerais, desde que nelas inexistam teores de feldspato K, podendo também inferir sobre algumas características e propriedades dos solos e dos argilominerais. Nos vertissolos da região, além da ilita estão presentes a caulinita e a esmectita de transformação, originada em meio sedimentar rico em bases, onde ocorrem transformações mineralógicas relacionadas principalmente com a rocha de origem e com o clima. Embora os solos estudados possuam características de solos vérticos, apresentam baixa CTC, em virtude da ausência de esmectitas verdadeiras do tipo montmorilonita ou beidelita. Na determinação dos teores de ilita presentes nesses interestratificados, utilizou-se uma fórmula estrutural padrão cujo teor de K2O é de 8%, SiO2 - 56%, Al2O3 - 18,50%, e H2O - 5,98%, segundo Weaver & Pollard (1975). O método mostra-se fácil, rápido e pouco dispendioso na determinação quantitativa dos minerais, nas amostras de interestratificados contendo ilita.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of culture media and disinfestation treatments on germination and the contamination in vitro of Zeyhera montana seeds. The trial was comprised of two experiments: in the first, the seeds were surface sterilized with alcohol 70% (1 min) + NaOCl 0.25, 0.5 or 1% active chlorine (5 or 10 min). The seeds were placed in flasks containing MS, MS rooting, Knudson B, Knudson C, Agar or WPM culture media. In the second experiment, the seeds were inoculated on the culture media which showed the best results in the previous experiment. Germination was slow and disuniform. The best results were 75% and 40% germination on Knudson C and MS rooting media, respectively.
Fabrication of functional metamaterials for applications in heat-shielding windows and 6G communications

Published: September 2023

Windows with passive multilayer coatings can allow less energy to be
used when maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures. As a type of
effective solar energy management, these coatings can prevent the
generation of excessive heat inside buildings or vehicles by
reflecting near-infrared solar radiation (750–2000 nm) while retaining
visible light transmission (400–750 nm) over a large range of viewing
angles. To prevent overheating, they must also reflect rather than
absorb near-infrared radiation. A transparent heat-shielding window is
numerically and experimentally demonstrated in this study. High visual
transparency (77.2%), near-infrared reflectance (86.1%), and low
infrared absorption (<20%) over a wide range of oblique
incident angles were achieved using nanometer-scale cross-shaped
metamaterials manufactured by electron beam lithography. Furthermore,
high terahertz transmittance (up to 82%) was also achieved for 6G
communication system applications.
Using reflectometry to minimize the dependence of fluorescence intensity on optical absorption and scattering
Authors: Arias Augusto , Anastasopoulou Maria , Gorpas Dimitris , Ntziachristos Vasilis
Published: September 2023

The total diffuse reflectance R
T
and the effective attenuation coefficient µ
eff
of an optically diffuse medium map uniquely onto its absorption and reduced scattering coefficients. Using this premise, we developed a methodology where R
T
and the slope of the logarithmic spatially resolved reflectance, a quantity related to µ
eff
, are the inputs of a look-up table to correct the dependence of fluorescent signals on the media’s optical properties. This methodology does not require an estimation of the medium’s optical property, avoiding elaborate simulations and their errors to offer accurate and fast corrections. The experimental demonstration of our method yielded a mean relative error in fluorophore concentrations of less than 4% over a wide range of optical property variations. We discuss how the method developed can be employed to improve image fidelity and fluorochrome quantification in fluorescence molecular imaging clinical applications.
Imaging fine structures of the human trabecular meshwork in vivo using a custom design goniolens and OCT gonioscopy

Published: September 2023

The trabecular meshwork (TM), located within the iridocorneal angle, is a target for many glaucoma treatments aimed at controlling intraocular pressure. However, structural variations between individuals are poorly understood. We propose a newly designed gonioscopic lens optimized for high-resolution imaging to image fine structures of the human TM in vivo. The body of the new lens is index-matched to the human cornea and includes a choice of two gonioscopic mirrors (59° and 63°) and matching air-spaced doublets placed on the anterior surface of the goniolens. The new design allows a diffraction-limited image plane at the iridocorneal angle structures. The goniolens design was built and then placed on the subjectś eyes coupled to the cornea with goniogel and a 3D adjustable mount. Images were obtained using a commercially available OCT device (Heidelberg Spectralis). The optical resolution was measured in a model eye as 40.32 and 45.25 cy/mm respectively for each mirror angle. In humans, dense OCT scans with minimum spacing oriented tangential to the iris and ICA were performed on 7 healthy subjects (23-73 yrs). The TM was successfully imaged in all subjects. The custom goniolens improved the contrast of the uveoscleral meshwork structures and corneoscleral meshwork revealing limbus parallel striations, not visible with previous goniolens designs. Transverse OCT images were constructed along the segmentation line, providing an enface image of the TM structures including corneoscleral beams, previously only imaged in vivo using custom adaptive optics systems.
Supercontinuum-based hyperspectral LiDAR for precision laser scanning

Published: September 2023

Hyperspectral LiDAR enables non-contact mapping of the 3D surface geometry of an object along with its spectral reflectance signature and has proved to be effective for automated point cloud segmentation in various remote sensing applications. The established hyperspectral LiDAR methods offer a range precision of a few mm to a few cm for distances exceeding several meters. We propose a novel approach to hyperspectral LiDAR scanning based on a supercontinuum (SC) coherently broadened from a 780 nm frequency comb. It provides high precision distance measurements along with target reflectance over the 570–970 nm range of the SC output. The distance measurements are carried out by monitoring the differential phase delay of intermode beat notes generated by direct photodetection, while the backscattered light spectrum is acquired using a commercial CCD spectrometer with 0.16 nm resolution across the 400 nm bandwidth of the SC output. We demonstrate a measurement precision below 0.1 mm for a stand-off range up to 50 m on a diffuse target with around 89% reflectance. The measured relative accuracy as compared to a reference interferometer is on the order of 10−5 for distances up to 50 m. Initial results also indicate spectrum-based material classification within a 3D point cloud using a linear support vector machine. The results highlight the potential of this approach for joint high-precision laser scanning and automated material classification.

Published: September 2023

Holographic optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a powerful imaging technique, but its ability to reveal low-reflectivity features is limited. In this study, we performed holographic OCT by incoherently averaging volumes with changing diffuse illumination of numerical aperture (NA) equal to the detection NA. While the reduction of speckle from singly scattered light is only modest, we discovered that speckle from multiply scattered light can be arbitrarily reduced, resulting in substantial improvements in image quality. This technique also offers the advantage of suppressing noises arising from spatial coherence, and can be implemented with a partially spatially incoherent light source for further mitigation of multiple scattering. Finally, we show that although holographic reconstruction capabilities are increasingly lost with decreasing spatial coherence, they can be retained over an axial range sufficient to standard OCT applications.
