abstract: This study involved analyzing several natural sands to ascertain the possible causes for distress due to ASR. The analyses were performed using the following techniques: X-ray diffractometry, accelerated mortar bar tests (AMBT), electron backscattering diffraction and elementary chemistry analyses, by FEG-SEM/EBSD/EDS. These experiments allowed identifying the presence of several mineral composites (such as microcline, anorthite, among others), as well as the microstructural-crystallographic planes of quartz (such as the Dauphiné type). From the results it could be inferred that the multiple techniques used, especially the FEG-SEM / EBSD, proved to be promising in the analysis of the ASR potential of sands for use in Portland cement mortars and concretes.

This paper reports the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 on the practice and delivery of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering (GGE) education modules, including lectures, lab sessions, student assessments and research activities, based on the feedback from faculty members in 14 countries/regions around the world. Faculty members have since adopted a series of contingent measures to enhance teaching and learning experience during the pandemic, which includes facilitating active learning, exploring new teaching content related to public health, expanding e-learning resources, implementing more engaged and student-centred assessment and delivering high-impact integrated education and research. The key challenges that faculty members are facing appear to be how to maximise the flexibility of learning and meet physical distancing requirements without compromising learning outcomes, education equity and interpersonal interactions in the traditional face-to-face teaching. Despite the challenges imposed by the pandemic, this could also be a good opportunity for faculty members obliged to lecture, to rethink and revise the existing contents and approaches of professing GGE education. Three future opportunities namely, smart learning, flipped learning and interdisciplinary education, are identified. The changes could potentially provide students with a more resilient, engaged, interactive and technology-based learning environment.

Significance Statement

Men with diabetes have higher incidence of renal disease and hypertension than premenopausal women with diabetes. A mouse model investigated the mechanisms that predispose to salt-sensitive hypertension during diabetes. Male, 34-week-old, diabetic mice display hypertension when exposed to a high-salt diet, whereas females remain normotensive. Hypertension in males was associated with greater renal inflammation and no downregulation of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) compared with females. Blocking inflammation prevented the development of salt sensitivity and restored the normal regulation of ENaC in male diabetic mice. These findings indicate that inflammation is a key contributor to the sexual dimorphism associated with diabetic nephropathy. Understanding the mechanisms behind diabetes-associated salt sensitivity is critical to tailor rational therapies in a sex-specific manner.

Background

Hypertension is considered a major risk factor for the progression of diabetic kidney disease. Type 2 diabetes is associated with increased renal sodium reabsorption and salt-sensitive hypertension. Clinical studies show that men have higher risk than premenopausal women for the development of diabetic kidney disease. However, the renal mechanisms that predispose to salt sensitivity during diabetes and whether sexual dimorphism is associated with these mechanisms remains unknown.

Methods

Female and male db/db mice exposed to a high-salt diet were used to analyze the progression of diabetic kidney disease and the development of hypertension.

Results

Male, 34-week-old, db/db mice display hypertension when exposed to a 4-week high-salt treatment, whereas equivalently treated female db/db mice remain normotensive. Salt-sensitive hypertension in male mice was associated with no suppression of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) in response to a high-salt diet, despite downregulation of several components of the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system. Male db/db mice show higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines and more immune-cell infiltration in the kidney than do female db/db mice. Blocking inflammation, with either mycophenolate mofetil or by reducing IL-6 levels with a neutralizing anti–IL-6 antibody, prevented the development of salt sensitivity in male db/db mice.

Conclusions

The inflammatory response observed in male, but not in female, db/db mice induces salt-sensitive hypertension by impairing ENaC downregulation in response to high salt. These data provide a mechanistic explanation for the sexual dimorphism associated with the development of diabetic kidney disease and salt sensitivity.
Identifying solution strategies in a mental-rotation test with gender-stereotyped objects by analyzing gaze patterns
Authors: Saunders Mirko , Quaiser-Pohl Claudia Michaela
Published: March 2021

Many studies deal with solution strategies in mental-rotation tests. The approaches range from global analysis, attention to object parts, holistic and piecemeal strategy to a combined strategy. Other studies do not speak of strategies, but of holistic or piecemeal processes or even of holistic or piecemeal rotation. The methodological approach used here is to identify mental-rotation strategies via gaze patterns derived from eye-tracking data when solving chronometric mental-rotation tasks with gender-stereotyped objects. The mental-rotation test consists of 3 male-stereotyped objects (locomotive, hammer, wrench) and 3 female-stereotyped objects (pram, hand mirror, brush) rotated at eight different angles. The sample consisted of 16 women and 10 men (age: M=21.58; SD=4.21). The results of a qualitative analysis with two individual objects (wrench and brush) showed four different gaze patterns. These gaze patterns appeared with different frequency in the two objects and correlated differently with performance and response time. The results indicate either an object-oriented or an egocentric mental-rotation strategy behind the gaze patterns. In general, a new methodological approach has been developed to identify mental-rotation strategies bottom-up which can also be used for other stimulus types.

Através da análise do drama Antígona (442-1 a.C.), do poeta Sófocles (497/6-406 a.C.), o objetivo do presente escrito é identificar quais são as reações à morte das agentes dramáticas mulheres (Antígona, Ismene e Eurídice) e verificar como o poeta representa o feminino em seu teatro através de três formas distintas de luto. Nosso método consiste na análise de excertos selecionados – no idioma original, em grego, e em traduções em português e inglês – e previamente justificados, bem como na apresentação da literatura acadêmica pertinente ao tema. Ao final, concluímos com o levantamento de uma hipótese sobre a relação paradoxal entre dois desejos da personagem homônima: a saber, o de velar pela família e, por outro lado, seu anseio por uma morte gloriosa.
A CONSTRUÇÃO DA PERSONA SATÍRICA NAS SÁTIRAS DE PÉRSIO
Authors: Silva Ruth dos Santos , Leite Leni Ribeiro
Published: March 2021

O presente artigo analisa a construção da persona satírica na obra do poeta romano Aulo Pérsio Flaco. Nossa análise utiliza o conceito de persona a partir dos estudos de Paulo Sérgio de Vasconcellos (2016) e Diskin Clay (1998), em que os estudiosos propõem a distinção entre a persona poética e o autor empírico frente à leitura dos textos literários que, por vezes, são tomados pelo viés autobiográfico. Além disso, utilizamos o conceito de éthos proposto por Dominique Maingueneau, que considera que todo texto escrito possui um tom que confere autoridade ao que é dito e permite ao leitor a construção da representação de quem escreve. Desse modo, percebemos que a construção da persona satírica de Pérsio, nas sátiras em questão, apresenta um éthos conservador que se excede nos vulgarismos para criticar a sociedade romana e seus padrões, contrário à literatura contemporânea e ao helenismo, avesso ao apego material e defensor dos estudos da filosofia estoica.

Authors: Thornton Stephen L , Whitacre Jeffrey , Pallo Nicholas , Roberts Nathan , Oller Lisa
Published: March 2021

Introduction: There is concern that acute benzodiazepine (BZP) withdrawal may result in morbidity and mortality. However, there is a paucity of medical literature regarding clinical characteristics and outcomes of acute BZP withdrawal. We sought to characterize acute BZP withdrawal at a midwestern academic medical center.
Methods: This was a retrospective study. The medical records of the University of Kansas Hospital, a tertiary academic medical center, were queried for patients with a diagnosis of BZP withdrawal, drug withdrawal, sedative-hypnotic withdrawal or withdrawal-NOS from 1/1/2009 to 1/1/2016. Data collected included: age, sex, month/year of encounter, initial vital signs, type of drug withdrawal (alcohol, opioid, BZP or other), type of BZP withdrawing from, disposition, duration of hospitalization, seizures, endotracheal intubation, mortality and pharmacological treatment.
Results: 82 cases of were identified. Cases per year increased over the study period. Thirty-one (38%) cases involved concurrent drug withdrawal with opioids most common (n=25). Alprazolam (n=32) was the most common BZP implicated in BZP withdrawal. Thirty-nine cases (47%) were admitted including 7 to the ICU. Seizures were reported in 8 (10%) cases. Endotracheal intubation occurred in 3 (3.6%). Sixty-seven patients (81%) were treated with a BZP with lorazepam (n=42) most commonly used. There were no deaths. Upon discharge 40 (49%) patients received a prescription for a benzodiazepine.
Conclusions: Cases of acute BZP withdrawal increased over the study period but were associated with only occasional morbidity and no mortality. Further multi-center studies are warranted to better characterize the incidence and characteristics of acute BZP withdrawal.

Development of a methodology for measuring the evolution of duplex stainless-steel low-temperature plasma nitrided phases expansion using confocal laser scanning microscopy
Authors: Feitosa Carlos Eduardo Alves , Cardoso Rodrigo Perito , Brunatto Silvio Francisco
Published: March 2021

Samples of duplex stainless steel SAF 2507 were low-temperature plasma nitrided to characterize separately, on the surface, the behavior of its ferrite and austenite phases in relation to two competing processes, that is, one caused by enrichment by nitrogen, resulting in possible expansion, and the other caused by the removal of superficial atoms via sputtering, which may lead to the retraction of the studied phases. Since these phases have different different compositions and crystalline structures, of which the diffusivity and solubility of nitrogen in them are dependent, a different response for each type of phase can be expected. In this article, an innovative methodology has been developed to quantify and clarify which effects are predominant in the course of nitriding for each of these phases. The results indicate that phase expansion prevails over sputtering.

Published: March 2021

Agriculture is the pillar of the financial system of any country and it's far enormously crucial for financial improvement and social stability. Remote sensing has numerous benefits within the discipline of agronomical studies purpose.  Remote sensing has the capacity to face this big obstacle in the evolutionary changes in agricultural practices, by delivering recurrent information on crop condition at multiple scales and for different actors during the season. Because of the rapid changes in farming started from mid to past 1980, remote sensing has become an indispensable a part of precision agriculture. Agricultural systems need to be monitored in regular interval. Remote sensing act as vital method in well timed tracking and provides a correct snapshot of the agricultural with good accuracy. The tracking of agricultural strongly follows seasonal patterns on the subject of the organic life of crops. Because of this background we studied various remote sensing methods like crop classification, crop tracking and yield assessment. We discovered that almost all of the remote sensing methods have been exploratory investigations, examined on a nearby scale with direct dependence on ground data. In tandem with other specialized methods such as geographical information systems and global positioning systems, remote sensing plays an important role in the measurement and monitoring of agricultural activities. We begin this review by presenting an outline of the existing methods of remote sensing relevant to the agricultural sector. This paper analyses remote sensing methods progress, problems and future in agricultural context. This article will offer an outline of commercially remote sensors having high resolution which have been used or have ability for accuracy in collecting agriculture information. Further, overview illustrates current research trends in remote sensing methods that allow reinforcing applicative skills with precise necessities for specific forms of stakeholders. We offer a synthesis of the rising possibilities in remote sensing techniques that have to reinforce the role in imparting long time and efficient services for agricultural purpose. SAR remote sensing techniques have extremely good capability and could play an important role in diverse fields of agricultural remote sensing. Finally, the paper outlines challenges, limitation and future trends of remote sensing methods in crop evaluation. This paper concludes that current utilization of remote sensing methods in crop evaluation still remains in an experimental stage.

Authors: Dr. M. Renukadevi B. Hemalatha,
Published: March 2021

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is referred to as one of the highest non-unusual neurodegenerative disorders that inflict eternal harm to the memory-associated brain cells and wonder skills. There is a 99.6 percent failure rate in clinical trials of Alzheimer's disease pills, perhaps due to the fact that AD sufferers cannot be without early-stage complications. This observation analyzed machine learning knowledge of strategies to use empirical statistics to forecast the progression of AD in the years of fate. Diagnosis of AD is often difficult, particularly at an early stage in the disease system, due to the degree of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, it is at this point where treatment is much more likely to be successful, so there will be great benefits in enhancing the diagnosis process. Research in this area aims to identify the most complex mechanisms directly related to changes in AD. Various imaging methods are used to diagnose AD, and image modes play a key role in the diagnosis of AD. This paper uses a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) image to detect AD early. The PET image is often used to know how organs and tissues function in the human body. This research study analyses prediction approaches using various kinds of machine learning algorithms to solve AD diagnostic problems. Artificial Neural Networks are one of the many algorithms. Modern research has shown that deep learning is a proficient technique for solving numerous problems of image recognition, but most of these published approaches owe their performance to training on a very large number of data samples.

Published: March 2021

The aim of this study was to determine the soil moisture along with minimal drizzling time using two methods using hot air convection oven (HA-CO) and microwave oven (MO) to find out the best method for estimation the soil moisture. The convection oven method was considered as the most accurate method to determine the soil moisture; hence, we utilized this method as source for assessing the results.  The experiment was conducted in lab which was completely based on random 110 dry soil samples weight of approximately 100 gram from the bare land. In convection oven method we used 105 °C for 24 hours and in microwave oven method we used different thermal power (180, 360, 540, 720 and 900 watt) for different time duration. The result based on the RMSE between soil moisture retrieval from hot air convection oven method and soil moisture retrieval from microwave oven method. 720 watt takes 15 minutes to dry the soil while 900 watt takes 8 minutes; both are gives approximately same results as convection oven method, which takes 24 Hours. Therefore for retrieval of soil moisture we can utilize the microwave oven method at 900 watt power. The low RMSE for 900 watt is 0.51% shows that the microwave oven method is most convenient, time saving and safe method for retrieval of soil moisture.

UNDERSTANDING IMPACT OF MEDIA ENGAGEMENT ON ADVERTISING ACCEPTANCE AND VALUE WITHIN MOBILE SOCIAL NETWORK IN INDIAN MILLENNIALS
Authors: Verma Apoorv
Published: March 2021

Social Networking sites have changed the face of advertising and media consumption massively. Even within them, Mobile Social Network or MSN’s are the latest mode of Social Media consumption that is taking over the social media sites. This study takes a conceptual model developed earlier by Linwan Wu, 2016 and applies it to the millennial populace of India. The target group was selected because they are among the highest users of MSNs in the world. The model aims to check the antecedents of MSN engagement and test the relationship between MSN engagement and advertising effectiveness. The relevant data was collected using an online survey and the results showed a significant difference from the prior study. Though Utilitarian motivation still shows a significant effect on Media Engagement, the other antecedents seemed to have stopped having an effect altogether. Additionaly, the study also shows that in the target group, the engagement with media has no effect in advertising acceptance nor on the value gained from advertising. However, perceived value of advertisement and its acceptance still hold a close relation which presents an opportunity for future researches into the reason, ie, what other factors affect engagement, acceptance and ultimately, the perceived value of ads on mobile social networks.

Limited Proprietary Rights to Residential Premises in Russian and Foreign Civil Law
Authors: Klimanova D. D.
Published: March 2021

The right to housing is important and universally recognized. In foreign countries, in order to ensure the realization of the right to housing, in addition to the right of ownership, other limited proprietary rights are provided granting citizens with the right to own and use residential premises. The paper considers the limited proprietary rights to residential premises in France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Russia. It is established that the legislation of the abovementioned foreign countries enshrines real rights to use the residential premise, which, being a kind of usufruct (personal servitude), possesses specific features. They are facility feature (which includes residential premises), the authorized entity (which allows for a natural person) only, as well as the purposive character (this sets the right to stay in the residential premises for personal needs and the needs of his family).   In Russia, there are problems of legal regulation of relations between the use of residential premises by members of the owner’s family and former members of the owner’s family who gave consent to privatization, which cause difficulties in practice and numerous disputes in the doctrine. The outcomes of the analysis of the proposed changes in civil and housing legislation make it possible to conclude that the discussed innovations are not able to solve the existing problems and contradictions.

The author proposes to consolidate in civil legislation such a limited real right as the right to use residential premises, which is a kind of usufruct, which will combine all existing real rights to residential premises. The legal structure of the right to use residential premises is formulated, its content, the grounds for its occurrence and termination are set out.

The National Seismological Network (NSN) of India has a history of more than 120 yr. During the last two decades, the NSN has gone through a significant modernization process, involving installation of seismic stations equipped with a broadband seismograph (BBS) and a strong-motion accelerograph (SMA). Each station has a very-small-aperture terminal connectivity for streaming data in real time to the central receiving station (CRS) in New Delhi. Seismic data recorded by the network are analyzed continuously on 24×7 basis to monitor the earthquakes in India and its adjoining regions. In this article, we present details of BBS and SMA network configurations; data streaming from the field seismic stations to the CRS for analysis; and the automatic and manual publication of the earthquake parameters including location coordinates, focal depth, time of occurrence, and magnitude, etc. Details of historically significant analog seismic charts and the seismic catalog, which includes more than 34,000 events with magnitude Mw 1.7–9.3 since 1505, are provided. The national network of India has been strengthened over the years and is now capable of estimating the main earthquake source parameters within ∼5–10min with an average of about 8.0 min. The spatial analysis of minimum magnitude of completeness further indicates a significant enhancement in minimum threshold magnitude detection capability of the network in recent decades.
De marcar la cancha a una canchereada na metaforização da política pelo futebol
Authors: Novodvorski Ariel , Bevilacqua Cleci Regina
Published: March 2021

Este artigo apresenta uma análise de termos e unidades fraseológicas especializadas, do âmbito do futebol, em processos de metaforização com o domínio alvo da política. A pesquisa utiliza um corpus jornalístico monolíngue em espanhol rio-platense, da coluna Humor Político do jornal argentino Clarín. A utilização de programas computacionais para análises lexicais característicos da pesquisa com a Linguística de Corpus viabilizou a identificação e extração de termos e fraseologias especializadas presentes no corpus. A análise das unidades em contexto apontou para a construção metafórica do campo mais abstrato da política por meio de figuras mais concretas do meio futebolístico. A consulta a corpora disponíveis on-line corroborou as premissas e os achados no corpus de estudo.
proposta de coextensividade entre termo técnico, grupo nominal e item lexical no português brasileiro
Authors: Rodrigues Júlia Santos Nunes , Ferreguetti Kícila , S. Pagano Adriana
Published: March 2021

Objetivo: Sob a perspectiva do trabalho de Pearson (1998) e utilizando as ferramentas da linguística de corpus disponíveis para o português brasileiro, a pesquisa apresentada neste artigo busca verificar em que medida a coextensividade entre termo técnico, grupo nominal e item lexical pode ser considerada válida para o português brasileiro. Método: Para a verificação desta coextensividade, um corpus de artigos acadêmicos sobre o domínio experiencial do autocuidado em Diabetes Mellitus foi compilado eletronicamente. Esse corpus foi inserido no software concordanciador AntConc (ANTHONY, 2019) e três palavras-chave foram extraídas com base no corpus de referência CALIBRA (FIGUEREDO; PAGANO; FERREGUETTI, 2014). O contexto de cada uma dessas palavras foi analisado por meio da ferramenta clusters/n-grams do AntConc, considerando os clusters/n-grams com o número mínimo de dez ocorrências. Resultados: A investigação desses clusters/n-grams formados à direita e à esquerda de cada uma das palavras-chave selecionadas mostrou que a coextensividade entre termo técnico, grupo nominal e item lexical nem sempre pode ser identificada, embora a utilização da ferramenta de cluster/n-grams pode ser considerada eficaz para buscar por itens lexicais que estão em coextensividade à ordem do grupo nominal, em razão da existência de pelo menos um grupo nominal em cada cluster/n-gram analisado. Conclusão: Ainda que os programas utilizados em Pearson (1998) não estejam totalmente difundidos para o português brasileiro, a abordagem sistêmico-funcional para o grupo nominal e para o item lexical em conjunto com as ferramentas do software concordanciador utilizado se mostraram eficientes para a análise proposta neste artigo.
uso de pronomes pessoais em comunicações aeronáuticas
Authors: Pacheco Aline
Published: March 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o uso de pronomes pessoais na comunicação aeronáutica a partir do CORPAC, um corpus especializado. Pronomes podem desempenhar um papel de destaque em cenários comunicativos multitarefa, tais como observados na aviação. Nesse sentido, faz-se importante que as identidades sejam claramente definidas nas operações. À luz do estudo de Neville (2004) sobre identidades no cockpit, esta investigação aborda a frequência e os padrões de uso de pronomes pessoais – especialmente “I”, “we” e “you”, por meio do uso de ferramentas linguísticas de corpus. A exploração do corpus fornece evidências de que tais pronomes são de fato usados com muita frequência, apesar de orientações oficiais que não recomendam seu uso, a fim de evitar problemas como a ambiguidade. A análise revela padrões consistentes e interpretáveis associados às suposições de Neville (2004) e tem implicações significativas para fins de treinamento e teste na área de Inglês Aeronáutico.

carpinteiro e a madeira

Published: March 2021

Este artigo propõe-se a relatar uma experiência de pesquisa com corpora complexos, a fim de compartilhar o processo e procedimentos de elaboração de um banco de dados instituído precipuamente para pesquisa doutoral, empreendida na Université Lumière Lyon II/França, no laboratório ICAR, cuja especialidade é, justamente, o trabalho com a análise de corpora em diversos níveis de extensão e complexidade. A partir de uma perspectiva etnometodológica (MONDADA, 2008; OCHS, SCHEGLOFF, THOMPSON, 1996; SCHEGLOFF, 1999; TRAVERS, 2001; TRAVERSO, 2007), numa imersão em território jurídico (CORNU, 2005; DUPRET, 2006; LATOUR, 2004), a pesquisa ora relatada buscou descrever e analisar como os magistrados realizam a gestão do desacordo, em situações, muitas vezes, acentuadamente erísticas. Sem nos distanciarmos dos estudos teóricos acerca dos preceitos de metodologia de trabalhos acadêmicos em geral (GIL, 2002; MOTTA-ROTH; HENDGES, 2010; SALOMON, 2014), constituímos um banco de dados balizados pela noção de situação argumentativa, uma noção da retórica antiga retomada por Plantin (1993, 1995, 1996, 2016), a qual põe em destaque situações de conflito de opiniões, em contextos argumentativos vários. A partir da exaustiva e intricada transcrição dupla dos dados (BAUDE, 2006; BLANCHE-BENVENISTE, 2008; KERBRAT-ORECCHIONI, 2006), a pesquisa culminou na confirmação de que o discurso jurídico está longe de ser frio e asséptico e que as interações argumentativas naquele contexto se analisadas no calor das deliberações têm muito a nos ensinar sobre o argumentar em contexto institucional. Isso pode ser conferido em quatro capítulos analíticos cujo planejamento e execução ora trazemos a lume, a partir do estudo do direito em ação, isto é, em situação de interação, por meio de deliberações de magistrados em processos de danos morais, num tribunal brasileiro de Segunda Instância.
uso do tradutor automático como recurso pedagógico na aula de inglês para propósitos específicos no contexto acadêmico
Authors: Borsatti Débora , Riess Adriana Blanco
Published: March 2021

Este artigo apresenta uma proposta de uso pedagógico de tradução pela Máquina (MT) em cursos de inglês para fins específicos (ESP), com o objetivo de investigar a eficiência dessa tecnologia como suporte para a leitura de textos científicos em inglês como L2/ LE. A abordagem teórica é sobre ESP, leitura e compreensão e uma proposta de uso de MT em cursos de ESP, com o objetivo de entender o processamento da MT e como esse conhecimento pode trazer benefícios na compreensão da leitura para fins acadêmicos. Também, discute-se a linguística de corpus e sua relação tanto com o ensino de línguas quanto seu papel na MT. Por fim, a partir da análise que se faz, devido ao sistema híbrido que utiliza o sistema baseado em regras com o sistema baseado em corpus, o Google Translate produz textos relativamente compreensíveis e legíveis. Apesar de suas limitações evidentes, essa tecnologia pode fornecer consciência linguística quando explorada pedagogicamente pelos professores de ESP no contexto acadêmico
