As cientistas na Química brasileira: um olhar a partir da epistemologia de Paul Feyerabend
Authors: Do Prado Lima Ana Luíza , Moreira de Castilho Camilla , Felix Ferreira Victor Ricardo , Herbert Flora Barbosa Soares Márlon , Araújo da Silva Mesquita Nyuara
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo propõe uma discussão a partir da história da ciência e a exclusão das mulheres no campo científico. As asserções aqui realizadas se pautam em reflexões a partir da epistemologia de Paul Feyerabend, em especial por sua defesa à pluralidade de teorias e ao pluralismo metodológico. As análises evidenciaram que esse processo de exclusão e invisibilização das mulheres na ciência impactou diretamente na produção do conhecimento científico, revelando-se um processo nada neutro que privilegiou, e ainda privilegia, os saberes produzidos pelos homens em detrimento aos saberes produzidos por mulheres.
Rosa/Lena: uma personagem, dois nomes e uma sexualidade enclausurada em romances de Lindanor Celina
Authors: Souza Paula Fernanda Pinheiro , Rodrigues Raquel Terezinha
Published: September 2024

Resumo: Por meio de um olhar que investiga as pluralidades femininas em romances da escritora Lindanor Celina, este texto analisa a figuração da personagem Rosa/Lena nas obras Menina que vem de Itaiara (1963), Estradas do tempo-foi (1971) e Eram seis assinalados (1994); com o objetivo de compreender os significados envoltos na mudança do seu nome e de seu protagonismo “encoberto”. Com base em apontamentos de Candido (2006), ao explicar como elementos externos à obra se tornam internos na estrutura narrativa, e de Butler (2003) e hooks (2019), ao tratarem, respectivamente, de heterossexualidade compulsória e lesbianidade, concluímos que a mudança de nome da personagem e seu protagonismo velado relacionam-se com o enclausuramento de sua orientação sexual, em um contexto conservador de anos das décadas de 1930 e 1940.Palavras Chave: Lindanor Celina. Pluralidady feminina. Heterossexualidade compulsória.
Autoclítico na proposta de B. F. Skinner para o Comportamento Verbal
Authors: Spatafora Gabriel , Micheletto Nilza
Published: September 2024

Skinner (1992) realizou uma classificação do comportamento verbal, propondo operantes primários (mando, tato, ecoico, intraverbal, textual, transcrição) e indicou o autoclítico como secundário. Segundo Skinner, o autoclítico teria a função de modificar o efeito dos operantes primários, tornando-os mais efetivos na alteração do comportamento do ouvinte, conforme especificidades da interação, ocorrendo obrigatoriamente em conjunto com a composição, que envolveria a emissão de respostas verbais novas. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo apresentar aspectos centrais da definição do autoclítico e as classificações em diferentes tipos, proposta no livro Comportamento Verbal. Apresentamos aspectos indicados por Skinner para definir o conceito e descrições e classificações dos autoclíticos em diferentes tipos: descritivo, qualificativo, quantitativo e relacional. Destacamos a distinção de parâmetros da classificação de Skinner; para os operantes primários a classificação é feita por meio da análise da estimulação antecedente e consequente, para cada tipo de autoclítico é classificado em relação à maneira pela qual modifica ou especifica o efeito do operante primário. A partir das análises, evidencia-se a necessidade de ampliação de investigações teóricas, básicas e aplicadas sobre o comportamento autoclítico tanto em relação ao esclarecimento do conceito, como sobre variáveis que favorecem a aquisição do autoclítico, como das formas de controle que permitem que ele altere os operantes primários. Palavras-chave: autoclítico, gramática, composição, análise do comportamento, comportamento verbal.
Aquecimento no condicionamento da esquiva: dados experimentais e hipóteses explicativas
Authors: Fonseca-Júnior Amilcar Rodrigues
Published: September 2024

Ratos submetidos a procedimentos de esquiva apresentam um padrão comportamental denominado aquecimento (warm-up). Esse fenômeno, de natureza cíclica, caracteriza-se por uma diminuição na frequência de respostas de esquiva entre sessões e aumento na frequência intrasessão. Consequentemente, a quantidade de estímulos aversivos a que sujeitos experimentais são expostos no início de uma sessão de condicionamento tende a ser regularmente maior do que a quantidade registrada ao final da sessão anterior. Uma prática decorrente disso é a exclusão dos períodos iniciais das sessões da análise de dados. Apesar de suas implicações para o estabelecimento do comportamento de esquiva e de não haver teorias que integrem satisfatoriamente a totalidade dos dados disponíveis, o aquecimento deixou de ser consistentemente investigado após a década de 70, havendo poucos avanços desde então. Considerando isso, o presente trabalho busca familiarizar a leitora e o leitor com parte relevante dos achados experimentais relacionados ao fenômeno e das hipóteses explicativas já formuladas. Assim, espera-se estimular novas investigações que permitam ampliar a compreensão sobre o aquecimento.Palavras-chave: aquecimento, esquiva, reforçamento negativo, controle aversivo.
Programação de Condições para o Desenvolvimento de Comportamentos e Precision Teaching como tecnologias de ensino
Authors: Marinho Vitor Duncan , Moraes Priscilla Terumi , Kienen Nádia , Carmo João Dos Santos
Published: September 2024

Este é um artigo didático que objetiva caracterizar o planejamento de ensino a partir da Programação de Condições para o Desenvolvimento de Comportamentos (PCDC) e do Precision Teaching Ensino de Precisão (EP), assim como os princípios analítico-comportamentais que os embasam. Para tanto, é feita uma apresentação de cada uma dessas tecnologias em termos de suas práticas componentes e de suas bases analítico-comportamentais. Para a PCDC, são destacados etapas e procedimentos para a proposição de comportamentos-objetivo socialmente relevantes e, a partir disso, como o ensino será conduzido e a aprendizagem será avaliada. Para o EP, ferramentas que proporcionam meios para o estabelecimento de metas de ensino, avaliação contínua da aprendizagem e tomada de decisões a partir dessa avaliação. Observa-se que ambas as tecnologias possuem preceitos coincidentes, mas os enfatizam em etapas diferentes. Enquanto a PCDC tem seu foco na definição do que deve ser ensinado, oferecendo subsídios para isso, o EP auxilia no estabelecimento do nível em que o comportamento-alvo deve ser ensinado e como a aprendizagem pode ser avaliada, de forma padronizada. Por suas características, verifica-se que tais tecnologias não são mutuamente excludentes. Porém, enfatiza-se que apenas dados empíricos poderiam dizer se essas são tecnologias complementares.Palavras-chave: Precision Teaching, Programação de Ensino, aprendizagem, educação, Análise do Comportamento.
Uma Introdução ao Interbehaviorismo: Contribuições para uma Ciência Natural do Comportamento
Authors: Smith Courtney A. , Figueira de Melo Abraão F.
Published: September 2024

O propósito deste artigo é apresentar cientistas do comportamento, estudantes e demais pessoas interessadas na filosofia da ciência ao interbehaviorismo enquanto um sistema filosófico completo para guiar comportamentos científicos. Um conjunto de premissas filosóficas deve guiar esforços científicos para assegurar que cientistas adotem descrições coerentes de eventos. O interbehaviorismo, fundado por J. R. Kantor, é um sistema filosófico coerente cujo uso confere vantagens à análise do comportamento, pois foca-se especificamente na relação entre comportamento e ambiente. Para apresentar esta filosofia, ilustramos premissas e conceitos definidores do pensamento interbehaviorista, e os contrastamos a uma conhecida abordagem da ciência do comportamento – o behaviorismo radical, conforme apresentado por B. F. Skinner, já que ambas as visões de relações comportamento–ambiente operam em um enfoque monista dos eventos. Acreditamos que as diferenças entre estas visões podem facilitar um entendimento introdutório do interbehaviorismo e destacar as contribuições disponíveis a partir de uma perspectiva interbehaviorista. Embora este não seja um tratamento exaustivo da posição interbehaviorista, a exposição aos principais aspectos discutidos no presente trabalho (em conjunto com sugestões de leituras adicionais) é um ponto de partida para a familiarização com um sistema filosófico completo de uma ciência natural do comportamento.Palavras-chave: filosofia, interbehaviorismo, behaviorismo radical, causalidade, substituição de estímulos.

In-Home IBCLC Care and Duration of Breastfeeding: A Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Wessells Allyson , Gallagher Megan , Oberholzer Julie , Rice Heather
Published: September 2024

Objective:IBCLC care is among the recommendations to improve breastfeeding duration. IBCLC care may occur in hospitals, pediatric clinics, obstetrics and gynecology clinics, and home settings. Insurance coverage for this care is intended to be protected per the Affordable Care Act in the United States. The aim of this study was to analyze the 12-month breastfeeding duration outcomes after receiving in-home IBCLC care within the first year of birth.

Methods:Anonymous responses to surveys completed at least 1 year after care initiation with a private practice located in Columbus, Ohio, were collected for a 3-year period. The survey consisted of 20 items answered by 113 respondents and provided qualitative and quantitative data. A mixed-method design was used for analysis of data with descriptive statistics regarding number of visits, infant age at initiation of care, insurance coverage, breastfeeding goals, confidence before and after services, and duration of any breastfeeding. Qualitative comments were reviewed for consistent themes.

Results:The majority (58%) of respondents had three or fewer visits, infants less than 4 weeks old (72%), and goals to breastfeed for at least 6 months (90%). Insurance coverage was provided for most respondents (81%). Confidence levels of less than 50% prior to services were reported by most respondents (73%) and increased to greater than 80% among the majority of respondents (78%) after services. Improved breastfeeding duration rates to 6 months (90%) and 12 months (73%) were achieved by most respondents compared to national rates of 55.8% and 35.9%. Consistent themes included continuity of IBCLC care, in-home setting, insurance coverage, care quality, and confidence.

Conclusions:In-home IBCLC care can efficiently improve breastfeeding duration and confidence. Insurance coverage may facilitate outcomes that reduce the risks of not breastfeeding.
Examining Psychosocial Aspects and Health Care Satisfaction on a Sample of Persons With Albinism
Authors: Estrada-Hernández Noel
Published: September 2024

Research into the albinism condition remains largely focused on the medical aspects and management of the functional limitations associated with this genetic condition. Social sciences research suggests that the physical attributes of albinism still mediate social and personal interactions. This study explored psychosocial factors and health care satisfaction on a sample of individuals with albinism. Participants were recruited through the National Organization for Albinism and Hypopigmentation in the United States. A total of 58 individuals provided their responses to the online survey. Results of this study suggest that individuals with albinism participants of this study identified social participation and albinism self-concept as the two factors that challenge their psychosocial adaptation process the most. These individuals also reported satisfaction with their current health care. A better understanding of the psychological and social aspects related to albinism should lead helping professionals to a more comprehensive picture of the implications of albinism as a medical condition.
Doing Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) With MORE: A Systematic Search and Review of MORE for Opioid Misuse
Authors: Hira Nainika , Keferl Joseph E. , Huber Mary
Published: September 2024

There is evidence that Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) can be an effective intervention for individuals with chronic pain who are misusing opioids. A recent meta-analysis reported effect sizes ranging from small to moderate in the reduction of addictive behavior, craving, opioid dosage, pain, and psychiatric symptoms with subjects who had chronic pain and opioid misuse. However, there are no studies objectively evaluating the research methodology behind these studies. This study used a “systematic search and review” approach, to objectively evaluate the research methodology in opioid-related MORE studies. A comprehensive search was conducted encompassing four databases and the references from the retrieved articles. Seventy-five articles were identified, of which 12 met the review criteria. Among the 12 articles, data were extracted related to the studies’ methodological rigor using evaluation scores by three raters. The results support high levels of statistical conclusion validity. Suggestions are offered addressing both clinical and research implications including examining client populations that may benefit most from MORE, investigating the most suitable settings for MORE, and the need for more large-scale randomized controlled trials.
Morfološka variabilnost črnike (Quercus ilex L.) v Sloveniji
Authors: Jež Martin , Brus Robert , Jarni Kristjan
Published: September 2024

This article introduces the holm oak (Quercus ilex L.), one of the most important tree species of the Mediterranean flora in Slovenia. In Slovenia, it grows in scattered locations at the northern limit of its natural range. The main aim of the study was to investigate the morphological variability of its leaves. Seven natural populations of holm oak in Slovenia were included in the study. The morphometric analysis showed high leaf variability and significant differences between populations, which were confirmed for almost all morphological traits analysed. Based on the observed morphological differences, the Slovenian populations can be divided into three geographical-morphological groups: i) the populations in the Goriška region (Sabotin, Sv. Gora and Lijak), ii) those in the Nanos – Osp region and iii) those in the Dragonja river valley. Morphological variability, as an expression of genetic variability, is the result of adaptation to specific local environmental conditions. The holm oak is currently not a threatened species in Slovenia, but it would be advisable to consider the three identified geographical-morphological groups as much as possible in any active conservation measures.
A propos de la pensée économique antique pré-aristotélicienne en général et de celle de Platon en particulier
Authors: Levystone David
Published: September 2024

Il est d’usage de considérer que la pensée pré-aristotélicienne portait peu d’intérêt aux problèmes économiques. En réalité, divers auteurs de la fin du Ve ou du début IVe siècle avant J.-C. (le Ps.-Xénophon, Platon, Xénophon, Phaléas de Chalcédoine) prêtent une attention toute particulière à ces questions lorsqu’ils développent leur pensée politique. Si leurs réflexions divergent dans le détail, tous partagent une même défiance vis-à-vis du commerce et de l’économie monétaire. Ces penseurs développent, à partir d’un certain nombre de présupposés politiques (aristocratiques), une critique forte et détaillée des transformations économiques dont ils sont contemporains. L’importance que Platon, en particulier, attache aux réalités économiques se manifeste dans sa critique acerbe de la démocratie athénienne, aussi bien que dans ses constructions politiques de la République, du Critias et du Timée, ou des Lois. En alternant approche générale (de ce mouvement de pensée du tournant du Ve siècle) et circonstanciée (car l’importance de l’économie, chez Platon, se dévoile aussi dans des détails apparemment mineurs), on espère montrer le caractère fondamentale des réflexions économiques dans la pensée grecque classique, avant même les travaux du Stagirite.

Authors: Muyasaroh Nurul , Ayuningtyas Endah
Published: September 2024

Popok sekali pakai (diaper) menjadi pilihan mayoritas ibu karena kepraktisannya. Hal ini menimbulkan limbah diaper yang semakin hari semakin menumpuk. Pendayagunaan limbah diaper masih sangat jarang dilakukan. Selama ini limbah diaper ditimbun di tempat pembuangan sampah atau dibuang sembarangan di sungai. Kondisi ini menimbulkan dampak negatif terhadap lingkungan, baik berupa pencemaran udara, air, tanah serta berkurangnya estetika lingkungan. Terlebih jika terdapat feses pada limbah diaper sehingga menimbulkan pencemaran bakteri Escherichia coli. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengolah limbah diaper menjadi biofuel pellet yang renewable dan sustainable menggunakan proses densifikasi. Tujuan selanjutnya dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh kelembaban terhadap nilai kalor biofuel pellet, menganalisis proksimat serta membandingan angka Escherichia coli limbah diaper sebelum dan sesudah diolah menjadi biofuel pellet. Proses pembuatan biofuel pellet dilakukan dengan mengumpulkan limbah diaper; menghancurkannya menggunakan alat pencacah; mengeringkan dan mensterilkannya; kemudian mencetak menjadi biofuel pellet. Pengujian nilai kalor dilakukan berdasarkan pedoman ASTM D-2015 dan perhitungannya berdasarkan pedoman ASTM D-3175. Analisis proksimat dilakukan berdasarkan pedoman ASTM D-3174, ASTM D-1762-84, ASTM D-3172 dan ASTM D-2395. Limbah diaper dapat diolah menjadi biofuel pellet menggunakan proses densifikasi. Semakin rendah kelembaban, maka nilai kalor biofuel pellet semakin tinggi. Biofuel pellet dengan kelembaban 0% memiliki nilai kalor sebesar 6181,9 kal/g, kadar zat volatil 74,55%, kadar abu sebesar 15,25%, kadar karbon terikat sebesar 10,20% dan densitas sebesar 0,86 . Nilai kalor, kadar zat volatil dan densitas biofuel pellet ini memenuhi standar SNI 8021:2014. Sedangkan kadar abu dan kadar karbon terikat belum memenuhi standar. Angka Escherichia coli limbah diaper sebesar  cfu/g, sedangkan setelah diolah menjadi biofuel pellet menurun drastis yaitu <10 cfu/g.

Authors: Irawan Yeremias Budi , Fitriani Katlea
Published: September 2024

The results of the initial analysis carried out by the author occurred because there were several indications of waste problems at PT XYZ. These problems are the difference in actual time and standard time as well as the quality of production results that do not meet company standards. The purpose of this research is to determine the type of relationship between waste and the type of waste produced in the production process at PT Best Jeans Indo Citra Nusa. This research applies a mixed method research method, combining quantitative and qualitative data through observation, interviews, and literature study. The study population includes all PT XYZ employees, with a sample of 8 people selected using judgment sampling. The analysis was carried out using the Waste Assessment Method, which aims to identify and evaluate waste in the production process. This method consists of the Waste Relationship Matrix and the Waste Assessment Questionnaire. The occurrence of idle time and defects in the production process at PT XYZ can occur because the company still produces waste in every production process. With this research, it is hoped that companies can make efforts to minimize every process that can produce waste.

Authors: Lukitasari Dania , Etikariena Arum
Published: September 2024

In the Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA) era, organization in complex businesses and competitive environments with unprecedented challenges and opportunities. In this context, the development of innovation is required to survive through work behavior. Therefore, this research aimed to explore the influence of transformational leadership on work behavior of employees, considering meaningful work as a mediating variable. The moderating role of ambidextrous organizational culture is also tested on ASN (civil servant) at the Indonesia Ministry of X (N = 210) using the self-report data collection method. The data were analyzed using the PROCESS Model 15 statistical method developed by Hayes. The result showed that meaningful work mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and innovative work behavior (B = 0.50, CI 95% [.15, .42]). Moreover, ambidextrous organizational culture played a significant role as a moderator of the direct relationship between the variables (B = 0.3449, p < .05), but does not play a role in the indirect relationship (B = -0.1292, p > .05). Practical and innovative contributions were also provided to practitioners of industrial and organizational psychology, as well as ASN in exploring innovative work behavior.
A Literature Review on Risk and Protection Factors of Burnout in Healthcare Students
Authors: Kusumawardani Anggraeni , Hidayat Dede Rahmat
Published: September 2024

The pandemic was a test of the boundaries and challenges to conventional practices in healthcare education systems. During the emergent pandemic situation, several critical decisions were promptly taken, disregarding students' consent. For instance, healthcare students were encouraged to serve as health volunteers. The surge in responsibilities led to an increase in burnout cases among students, a decline in motivation, academic achievement, and an inclination to consider dropping out or discontinuing education. This study aimed to investigate risk and protection factors contributing to burnout in healthcare students, categorizing the elements into intrinsic and extrinsic. The method employed a literature review following the PRISMA guidelines. Four databases, namely ProQuest, PubMed, Google Scholar, and DOAJ were searched in March 2022, leading to 18 articles meeting the criteria out of 3,835 initially identified. The results showed at least thirty factors contributing to burnout risk and protection, with two-thirds falling into intrinsic and the rest in the extrinsic group. The findings suggested that burnout in healthcare students primarily stems from internal factors rather than environmental influences. These results enhance the design of interventions to prevent and address student’s burnout more effectively and efficiently.
Mindfulness-Based Islamic Spiritual Therapy on Enhancing Subjective Well-Being in Married Women with Infertility
Authors: Cholisoh Feny , Moordiningsih
Published: September 2024

The inability of infertile women to have children and relevant social stigma is significantly effective in reducing subjective well-being. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of mindfulness-based Islamic spiritual therapy on improving the subjective well-being of infertile married women. A non-randomized pretest posttest control group quasi-experimental design was implemented, with subjective well-being and mindfulness measured using the Subjective Well Being for Infertility Scale and Five Facet Questionnaire, respectively. A total of 10 participants were also selected and categorized into control and experimental groups. The results showed that the subjective well-being conditions of both groups were equal before therapy, regarding the Mann-Whitney U test with a value of Z = 0.000 and a 1.000 significance level (>0.05). The Mann Whitney U test was also implemented with a value of Z = -2.402 and a 0.016 significance level (<0.05), showing a difference in subjective well-being scores within the Control and Experimental Groups. Furthermore, the Wilcoxon Rank Test produced a Z-value and significance level of -2.023 and 0.043 (<0.05), respectively. This result showed an increase in subjective well-being scores within the experimental group after mindfulness-based Islamic spiritual therapy. The spiritual therapy was also used as an alternative psychotherapy to improve the subjective well-being of married women with infertility problems.
Stress Analysis of GFRP Lap Joints with Modified Adhesives at Various Temperatures
Authors: Caglar Hasan , Idapalapati Sridhar , Sharma Mohit , Sin Chian Kerm
Published: September 2024

This study examines stress distributions in adhesive joints under various loading and temperature conditions. Finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to compute the peel and shear stresses at the adhesive interface and bondline mid-section. Dependency analysis shows that mid-section peel stress significantly impacts the experimental shear strength of SLJs more than shear stress. This insight highlights the need to carefully analyze peel stress and bending moment factors. The analytical solutions proposed by Goland and Reissner were analyzed with modifications by Hart-Smith and Zhao. Hart-Smith’s approach performed more effectively, especially when the adhesive layer thickness (ta) is 0.5 mm and the overlap length to thickness ratio (c/ta) is ≥20. FEA revealed stress distributions at the adhesive/adherend interface and bondline mid-section. DP490 adhesive joints exhibited lower stresses than EA9696. Temperature variations significantly affected joint behavior, particularly above the adhesive’s glass transition temperature (Tg). Both EA9696 and DP490 adhesive joints displayed distinct responses to stress and temperature changes. The parabolic and biquadratic solutions for functionally graded adhesive (FGA) joints were compared. The biquadratic solution consistently yielded higher shear and peel stress values, with an increase ranging from 15% to 71% compared to the parabolic solution at various temperatures because of larger gradient of the Young's modulus distribution near the overlap ends. The ratio of peak peel stress to peak shear stress suggests selecting an adhesive with a superior peel strength or primarily reducing the peak peel stress by functionally grading is advisable, particularly if the adhesive is brittle. Comparison of stress distributions emphasize the importance of selecting adhesives based on stress type, temperature, and solution methods in optimizing adhesive bonding applications. These findings provide valuable insights for thermomechanical applications where thermal stimuli may be used for controlled debonding.
The Distribution of Prime Numbers Based on the Proof of Riemann’s Hypothesis and the Properties of the Numbers 3, 6, and 9
Authors: mousavi seyed kazem
Published: September 2024

In this paper, the distribution of prime numbers is expressed based on proving the Riemann hypothesis. The relationship between three numbers, three, six, and nine, and the modality to the distribution of prime numbers, is one of the results of Riemann's zeta function. Prime numbers are classified into six groups of single-digit numbers. There are no prime numbers in groups of three, six, and nine. The groups are made based on the sum of the internal digits. And for each set, there is an angle in the complex plane. The distance between the prime numbers in each group has a regular pattern. This pattern is a multiple of the numbers three, six, and nine. According to Euler's number, for an angle of 60 degrees, the real part of the cosine is 1/2. Accordingly, all prime numbers are related to angles greater than 60 degrees to 90 degrees. As a result, based on the relationship between the golden spiral and the complex conjugate of the zeta function, the function in The 1/2 point becomes zero based on the prime numbers.
N-oxide Coordination to Mn(III) Chloride
Authors: Saju Ananya , Crawley Mathew R. , MacMillan Samantha N. , Le Magueres Pierre , Del Campo Mark , Lacy David C.
Published: September 2024

: We report the synthesis and characterization of Mn(III) chloride (MnIIICl3) complexes coordinated with N-oxide ylide ligands, namely trimethyl-N-oxide (Me3NO) and pyridine-N-oxide (PyNO). The compounds are reactive and, while isolable in the solid-state at room temperature, readily decompose into Mn(II). For example, “[MnIIICl3(ONMe3)n]” decomposes into the 2D polymeric network compound complex salt [MnII(µ-Cl)3MnII(µ-ONMe3)]n[MnII(µ-Cl)3]n•(Me3NO•HCl)n (4). The reaction of MnIIICl3 with PyNO forms varied Mn(III) compounds with PyNO coordination and these react with hexamethylbenzene (HMB) to form the chlorinated organic product 1-cloromethyl-2,3,4,5,6-pentamethylbenzene (8). In contrast to N-oxide coordination to Mn(III), the reaction between [MnIIICl3(OPPh3)2] and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) resulted in electron transfer forming d5 manganate of the [TEMPO] cation instead of TEMPO–Mn(III) adducts. The reactivity affected by N-oxide coordination is discussed through comparisons with other L–MnIIICl3 complexes within the context of reduction potential.

Previous studies have predominantly utilized theories such as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), and the Diffusion of Innovations (DoI) theory. Confirmed factors include performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and trust, which significantly predict user attitudes and intentions toward adopting ChatGPT. Perceived usefulness and ease of use are core components influencing adoption positively. However, some factors have shown inconsistent impacts. While generally critical, effort expectancy and facilitating conditions vary based on context. Social influence, demographic characteristics (age, gender), extrinsic motivation, and technology readiness exhibit inconsistent effects, suggesting that intrinsic motivations may be more critical. Data collection primarily used online surveys with structured questionnaires, varying widely in sample sizes from small pilot studies to large-scale surveys and covering diverse academic disciplines. Practical implications suggest enhancing perceived usefulness and ease of use through training and technical support, building trust by addressing privacy concerns, and leveraging social influence to drive adoption. The review underscores the need to refine technology acceptance models to incorporate broader psychological and contextual factors, integrate intrinsic motivation theories, and adopt a systems thinking approach. Addressing limitations such as potential selection bias and the quality and scope of existing studies, future research can develop robust models and provide deeper insights into ChatGPT adoption dynamics in higher education, supporting its effective integration to enhance learning outcomes and foster educational innovation.

The optimal combination of five components to develop a concrete for high-temperature applications was studied through a response surface methodology known as mixture design of experiment. The selected components were water, an alkali-activated binder based on ferronickel slag activated with potassium silicate and potassium hydroxide, and three aggregate sizes corresponding to 0-4 mm, 4-8 mm, and 8-16 mm. Selected response parameters were slump and compressive strength before and after heat exposure. Six cubes of side 150 mm were cast for each concrete mix, three for ambient and three for residual (post-heat exposure) compressive strength. All 20 concrete mixes were exposed to a thermal load of 600 °C for two hours. The optimal concrete mix was adapted for large-scale applications, by increasing slump and replacing limestone with olivine aggregates for enhanced residual compressive strength. The adapted mix resulted in concrete with 76 MPa and 32 MPa compressive strength before and after high-temperature exposure. The CO2 emissions were found to be 77 % lower when compared to traditional OPC concrete.

A prospective clinical-epidemiological study was conducted to evaluate the dynamics of biomarkers in hospitalized patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 (according to the National Institute of Health severity scale) treated with Anakinra, compared to those receiving standard treatment. The study included 65 patients with a mean age of 75.51±9.54 years, ranging from 44 to 99 years. Among the study participants, 38 (58.5%) were male and 27 (41.5%) were female. The patients were divided into two groups: control group (standard treatment): 24 patients (36.9%) and target group (Anakinra treatment): 41 patients (63.1%). The results showed a significant relationship between the dynamics of leukocytes, ASAT, LDH, D-dimer, ferritin, and IL-6 and the administration of Anakinra. In the control group, no significant dynamics were observed in leukocyte count, D-dimer, ferritin, or IL-6. A statistically significant decrease in ASAT and LDH values in the control group was noted only on Day 7. In the Anakinra group, significantly (or with borderline statistical significance, p<0.1) lower mean values were observed for leukocytes, NLR, D-dimer, ferritin, and IL-6 on Days 3 and 7 compared to the control group. Additionally, significantly lower CRP values were detected in the Anakinra group on Day 7 compared to the control group.
A Brief Survey of ML Methods Predicting Molecular Solubility: Towards Lighter Models via Attention and Hyperparameter Optimization
Authors: Lew Andrew
Published: September 2024

Traditional chemical research often relies on trial-and-error synthesis and characterization methods. Now, modern machine learning (ML) offers data-driven approaches for predicting properties, like water solubility, directly from chemical structure. But with various data representation schemes for molecular structure and model approaches to select from, it can be difficult for non-experts to determine best practices for utilizing ML. To clarify this landscape of choices, this study uses the ESOL molecular solubility dataset to compare the performance of a selection of different models on different data representations. First, we compare three classical regression methods (linear, ridge, LASSO) on three common data representations (RDKit fingerprint, Morgan fingerprint, intuition-selected molecular features). Then, we demonstrate how two distinct deep learning approaches (multilayer perceptron, graph convolution) can achieve accurate predictions even when prior intuition about feature-property correlations are absent. Finally, we outline a modern attention-based approach, inspired by successes in language modeling and fine-tuned by Bayesian optimization, to achieve a prediction methodology that is more general and performant than the previous approaches. This attention-based approach operates directly on the common SMILES string molecular representation, without requiring as many model parameters as other deep learning approaches or preprocessing into a representative fingerprint or vector of intuitively selected features. In short, when selected molecular features are known to likely correlate with a feature of interest, it may be possible to achieve good predictive modeling without turning to massive deep learning approaches. When particular features are not known a priori, graph approaches are a common solution, and we further demonstrate how a modern hyperparameter optimized attention approach can perform even better.

Drought and water scarcity are significant factors limiting the development of China's maize industry. Deep sowing, as a method to mitigate drought and preserve soil moisture and seedlings, can effectively mitigate the adverse effects of drought stress on their growth. However, deep sowing can influence the emergence of maize seedlings and has a certain impact on their growth and development. To investigate the physiological and transcriptomic changes in maize inbred lines under deep sowing stress, and the alleviation effects of exogenous hormones, this study investigated the response of mesocotyl in deep-seeding tolerant maize inbred line Qi319 and deep-seeding sensitive maize inbred line Zi330 to deep-seeding stress under exogenous MeJA treatment. The physiological and transcriptomic mechanisms underlying the alleviation of deep-seeding stress by exogenous MeJA were elucidated. Results showed that compared to normal sowing depth, mesocotyl length (MES), mesocotyl and coleoptile length (MESCOL) significantly increased under deep-seeding stress for both inbred lines, while seedling length (SDL) was significantly inhibited. However, after adding 1.5 μmol·L-1 MeJA, MES, MESCOL, and SDL significantly increased compared to deep-seeding stress alone. Exogenous MeJA promoted cell elongation, enhanced mesocotyl length, and improved seedling emergence ability. RNA-Seq sequencing revealed differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Under deep-seeding stress compared to normal sowing depth conditions, 1248 DEGs were identified in Qi319 and 1288 DEGs were identified in Zi330. After adding exogenous MeJA under deep-seeding stress compared to normal sowing depth with exogenous MeJA treatment conditions, 538 DEGs were identified in Qi319 and 2284 DEGs were identified in Zi 330. GO enrichment analysis showed that differentially expressed genes were mainly concentrated in biological processes, cell components and molecular functions. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that differentially expressed genes were mainly concentrated in transport and catabolism, signal transduction, amino acid metabolism and lipid metabolism processes. Compared with the deep-seeded treatment, 12 differentially expressed genes were co-expressed in the two inbred lines under exogenous MeJA treatment, and 10 key genes, including ornithine decarboxylase, terpene synthase 7 and ethylene reaction transcription factor 11, were screened out. Our findings elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying maize's tolerance response to deep seeding and offer valuable insights into candidate gene resources for improving deep seeding tolerance in maize.

Introduction: Inflammation is a significant contributor to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in people with HIV (PWH), who face twice the risk of CVD compared to the general population. The presence of co-existing rheumatic disease (RD) may further exacerbate inflammation and increase the incidence of CVD events in this population. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study using electronic health record (EHR) data from the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Atlanta, covering the period from 2000 to 2019. The study included 3,930 veterans with HIV, and assessed the impact of rheumatic disease therapies (RDT) on CVD outcomes. The primary outcome was the first occurrence of a CVD event. Results: Rheumatic disease was significantly associated with an increased risk of CVD events (OR = 2.67; p < 0.001). Additionally, exposure to multiple RDTs (aHR = 2.121, p = 0.047), NSAIDs (aHR = 1.694, p = 0.003), glucocorticoids (aHR = 2.332, p < 0.0001), and hypouricemic agents and colchicine (aHR = 3.445, p < 0.0001) were all significantly associated with increased CVD events. Conclusion: The co-existence of HIV infection and rheumatic disease, along with the use of RDTs, may amplify the risk of CVD events in PWH. These findings underscore the need for further investigation into the relationship between RD, RDTs, and CVD risk in larger, controlled studies, given the potential implications for treatment decisions in this patient population.
