Published: April 2023

O Estado brasileiro é frequentemente visto como ineficiente e capturado por grupos de interesse econômico e elites burocráticas, o que leva ao capitalismo de compadrio e clientelismo. Isso tem dificultado a implementação de políticas econômicas indutoras de crescimento e contribuído para o declínio da produtividade e do crescimento econômico. Em contraste, o Estado tem desempenhado um papel central no rápido crescimento econômico de alguns países asiáticos, por meio de agências como o Ministry of International Trade and Industry (Miti) e a Economic Planning Agency (EPA) no Japão e de sua interação com o mercado em Taiwan e outros países. Isso envolveu a intervenção do Estado na economia como investidor minoritário e a aceleração do progresso tecnológico, o que levou ao aumento da produtividade e do crescimento. O Estado brasileiro, no entanto, pode ser capaz de superar esses desafios e desempenhar um papel mais ativo no desenvolvimento econômico mediante medidas de política como a política industrial e a política de inovação. Desse modo, este estudo visa examinar a morfologia e a evolução das estruturas organizacionais do Estado brasileiro de 1990 a 2018, com foco específico nos ministérios e em suas entidades vinculadas, responsáveis pela formulação e execução de políticas fiscais, monetárias e orçamentárias. A hipótese é que a influência de certos interesses econômicos nas políticas é parcialmente determinada pela configuração das estruturas do Estado, incluindo a autonomia da burocracia em relação a esses interesses. O estudo considera o papel da representação política, coalizões sociais e a importância de setores e grupos empresariais na economia doméstica, com o objetivo final de compreender até que ponto esses fatores moldam a relação entre as estruturas do Estado e os interesses econômicos, especialmente no que diz respeito às políticas fiscais, monetárias e de alocação de recursos.
TD 2866 - De política pública à ideologia de gênero : o processo de (des)institucionalização das políticas para as mulheres de 2003 a 2020
Authors: Tokarski Carolina Pereira , Matias Krislane de Andrade , Pinheiro Luana Simões , Correa Ranna Mirthes Sousa
Published: April 2023

Este texto tem por objetivo avaliar em que medida o processo de desmonte das políticas para as mulheres veio se instalando na gestão pública federal e qual a intensidade com que ele se efetiva ao longo dos últimos anos. Para tanto, acompanhou-se a trajetória de avanços e retrocessos que marcaram este campo entre o período de 2003 a 2020, dividindo-o em três fases: i) 2003-2014: consolidação de uma agenda de políticas para as mulheres; ii) 2015-2018: estagnação desta agenda; e iii) 2019-2020: deslegitimação da agenda e desmonte das políticas. O foco aqui consiste na análise da capacidade de os organismos de políticas para as mulheres realizarem a gestão da transversalidade de gênero e de implementarem ações sob a sua responsabilidade. Os indicadores levantados permitem concluir que houve, ao longo do período analisado, uma desinstitucionalização da perspectiva de gênero na estrutura governamental que se inicia com um processo de redução, paralisia e inoperância dos principais instrumentos de políticas públicas para as mulheres, o qual é seguido por um desmonte desta agenda no âmbito do Estado, pela destituição do princípio da igualdade de gênero e pela transversalidade de uma agenda conservadora de família.

Rock fragments of the Cb-type asteroid Ryugu returned to Earth by the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission share mineralogical, chemical, and isotopic properties with the Ivuna-type (CI) carbonaceous chondrites. Similar to CI chondrites, these fragments underwent extensive aqueous alteration and consist predominantly of hydrous minerals likely formed in the presence of liquid water on the Ryugu parent asteroid. Here we present an in situ analytical survey performed by secondary ion mass spectrometry from which we have estimated the D/H ratio of Ryugu’s hydrous minerals, D/HRyugu, to be [165 ± 19] × 10−6, which corresponds to δDRyugu = +59 ± 121‰ (2σ). The hydrous mineral D/HRyugu’s values for the two sampling sites on Ryugu are similar; they are also similar to the estimated D/H ratio of hydrous minerals in the CI chondrites Orgueil and Alais. This result reinforces a link between Ryugu and CI chondrites and an inference that Ryugu’s samples, which avoided terrestrial contamination, are our best proxy to estimate the composition of water at the origin of hydrous minerals in CI-like material. Based on this data and recent literature studies, the contribution of CI chondrites to the hydrogen of Earth’s surficial reservoirs is evaluated to be ∼3%. We conclude that the water responsible for the alteration of Ryugu’s rocks was derived from water ice precursors inherited from the interstellar medium; the ice partially re-equilibrated its hydrogen with the nebular H2 before being accreted on the Ryugu’s parent asteroid.

Published: April 2023

We used 22 μm (W4) Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) observations of 4420 asteroids to analyze lightcurves, and determined spin period estimates for 1929 asteroids. We fit second-order Fourier models at a large number of trial frequencies to the W4 data and analyzed the resulting periodograms. We initially excluded rotational frequencies exceeding 7.57 rotations per day (P < 3.17 hr), which are not sampled adequately by WISE, and periods that exceed twice the WISE observation interval, which is typically 36 hr. We found that three solutions accurately capture the vast majority of the rotational frequencies in our sample: the best-fit frequency and its mirrors around 3.78 and 7.57 rotations per day. By comparing our solutions with a high-quality control group of 752 asteroid spin periods, we found that one of our solutions is accurate (within 5%) in 88% of the cases. The best-fit, secondary, and tertiary solutions are accurate in 55%, 27%, and 6% of the cases, respectively. We also observed that suppression of aliased solutions was more effective with nonuniform sampling than with quasi-uniform sampling.

Authors: Haryati Haryati , Wicaksono Bagus , Syahadatina Meitria
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Inflammation plays a vital role in the pathophysiology of COVID-19. Complete blood count (CBC) is a routine test performed on patients. It provides information regarding the inflammatory process and can be used as a predictor of outcome. This study aimed to explore the correlation between different complete blood count (CBC)-derived inflammation indexes at hospital admission, such as neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived NLR (dNLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR), neutrophil to lymphocyte × platelet ratio (NLPR), aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), to in-hospital mortality in confirmed COVID-19 patients.
Methodology: A retrospective observational study was performed at Ulin Referral Hospital of South Kalimantan with 445 COVID-19 patients from April to November 2020. The patients were divided into two groups, non-survivor and survivor. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the cut-off values. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi Square test, the risk ratio was calculated, and logistics regression was determined.
Results: Increase of NLR, dNLR, PLR, MLR, NLPR, MLR, AISI, SIRI, and SII from cut-off values were significantly correlated with patient survival outcome. The cut off values were 6.90, 4.10, 295, 0.42, 0.037, 1,422, 1.80, and 2,504 respectively. NLPR was dominant in predicting in-hospital mortality (OR: 6.668, p = 0.000) with a 28.1% sensitivity and 95.9% specificity.
Conclusions: CBC-derived inflammation indexes were associated with the survival outcome of confirmed COVID-19 patients and NLPR was a dominant variable.

Published: April 2023

The subgenus Parapisa of the genus Apisa is reviewed based on the examination of 104 specimens. Apisa (P.) cinereocostata and A. (P.) subargentea are redescribed and their intraspecific variation is analysed in detail. A new species A. (P.) asipa, similar in the general coloration to other Apisa taxa, but very distinctive in the male genital morphology and the shape of the wing scales, is described from Cameroon and Nigeria. Apisa (P.) cinereocostata is hypothesized to be a widespread, but highly polymorphic taxon with significant variation in body size, intensity of grey coloration, and the proportions and shape of certain morphostructures of male genitalia. Determination keys and extensive illustrations of the variation are provided to enable proper identification of specimens.
In silico anti-inflammatory activity of lavender (Lavandula officinalis) essential oil bioactive compounds: Molecular docking analysis of COX-1 and COX-2, and ADMET prediction
Authors: Boukhatem Bouchra Sarah , Belhadj Abd-Elmouneim
Published: April 2023

Advanced investigations are in action worldwide to find medications with improved safety profiles. Natural resources are essential in the creation of innovative treatments and drugs that have fewer side effects. The essential oil (EO) of lavender (Lavandula officinalis) is well-known in alternative and complementary therapies for its use as wound-healing and antimicrobial ingredients. However, the exact pharmacological and anti-inflammatory aspects of naturally produced lavender essential oil (LEO) compounds are still unknown. As a consequence, it is essential to explain LEO drug molecular docking experiments with cyclo-oxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2). An attempt was developed in this study to discover the anti-inflammatory activity of LEO bioactive components. The online DockThor server was used for in silico molecule docking simulation. Interaction studies of LEO compound binding poses with COX were performed to get an understanding of the interacting amino acids and their inter-molecular bondings. Based on physicochemical attributes and toxicity, the docked compounds with the greatest binding affinities were also investigated for drug similarity utilizing the admetSAR tool and PASS platforms. Molecular docking studies exploring the bioactive principle targeted action revealed that electrostatic interactions and H-bonds make the main causative factor in inter-molecular connections associated with anti-inflammatory action. Seven top-ranked compounds were selected by virtual screening. Molecular docking revealed that limonene has the highest negative binding affinity (−8.536 kcal/mol) in complex with COX-1, followed by α-terpineol (−8.535 kcal/mol) and p-cymene (−8.515 kcal/mol), while two approved anti-inflammatory drugs (celecoxib and betamethasone) produced −8.191 and −8.041 kcal/mol respectively. Similarly, these terpenes can be documented as promising drug candidates based on qualifying Lipinski's rule five. The selected terpenes showed excellent drug-like properties and a percentage of human oral absorption. Besides, it was found to be safe for the human body in toxicological risk assessment. This work gives insight into the anti-inflammatory mechanism of action of LEO terpenes. LEO drugs' pharmacokinetic data and molecular docking patterns may open the way for the development of new COX inhibitors with anti-inflammatory capability and improved pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties.

Published: April 2023

One of the most effective approaches for identifying breast cancer is histology, which is the meticulous inspection of tissues under a microscope. The kind of cancer cells, or whether they are cancerous (malignant) or non-cancerous, is typically determined by the type of tissue that is analyzed by the test performed by the technician (benign). The goal of this study was to automate IDC classification within breast cancer histology samples using a transfer learning technique. To improve our outcomes, we combined a Gradient Color Activation Mapping (Grad CAM) and image coloring mechanism with a discriminative fine-tuning methodology employing a one-cycle strategy using FastAI techniques. There have been lots of research studies related to deep transfer learning which use the same mechanism, but this report uses a transfer learning mechanism based on lightweight Squeeze Net architecture, a variant of CNN (Convolution neural network). This strategy demonstrates that fine-tuning on Squeeze Net makes it possible to achieve satisfactory results when transitioning generic features from natural images to medical images.

Published: April 2023

When an outbreak of COVID-19 occurs, it will cause a shortage of medical resources and the surge of demand for hospital beds. Predicting the length of stay (LOS) of COVID-19 patients is helpful to the overall coordination of hospital management and improves the utilization rate of medical resources. The purpose of this paper is to predict LOS for patients with COVID-19, so as to provide hospital management with auxiliary decision-making of medical resource scheduling. We collected the data of 166 COVID-19 patients in a hospital in Xinjiang from July 19, 2020, to August 26, 2020, and carried out a retrospective study. The results showed that the median LOS was 17.0 days, and the average of LOS was 18.06 days. Demographic data and clinical indicators were included as predictive variables to construct a model for predicting the LOS using gradient boosted regression trees (GBRT). The MSE, MAE and MAPE of the model are 23.84, 4.12 and 0.76 respectively. The importance of all the variables involved in the prediction of the model was analyzed, and the clinical indexes creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), C-reactive protein (CRP), creatine kinase (CK), white blood cell count (WBC) and the age of patients had a higher contribution to the LOS. We found our GBRT model can accurately predict the LOS of COVID-19 patients, which will provide good assistant decision-making for medical management.
Furnishing Nature: Textile Materiality and the Victorian Home in Alfred Hayes’s The Vale of Arden and Other Poems (1895)
Authors: John Stefanie
Published: April 2023

This article examines the conjunction of environmental aesthetics, textile materiality, and notions of the home in the work of the British poet and translator Alfred Hayes (1857–1936). Hayes, who authored six collections of poems, has been largely neglected in studies of Victorian poetry, yet his pastoral and religious verse was popular among Victorian and Edwardian readers. Hayes was also closely affiliated with the fin-de-siècle literary scene. He contributed to The Yellow Book, collaborated with Richard Le Gallienne and Norman Gale, and was reviewed by Oscar Wilde. The essay investigates the forms and functions of Hayes’s textile references and allusions to Victorian interiors in the collection The Vale of Arden and Other Poems, which was first published by John Lane at The Bodley Head in 1895. Its lyrics weave together depictions of rural England as a home with imagery inspired by the textures of luxurious fabrics and furnishing objects, thus testing the boundaries of exteriority and interiority. The article first surveys the contents, potential influences, and material design of Hayes’s little-researched book. It links Hayes’s use of poetic form and imagery to late Victorian understandings of organicism in Arts and Crafts design and home decoration. At the centre of the article will be a close reading of Hayes’s poem ‘My Study’. The poem portrays an idyllic landscape as the speaker’s study. It alludes to conceptions of the ‘house beautiful’ and the ‘book beautiful’ as it combines ecopoetic and religious notions of nature as a domestic space and as a site of learning. The article argues that textile ecologies are central to Hayes’s negotiation of relationships between nature and artifice, enabling a distinctive fusion of traditional English pastoral and fin-de-siècle aestheticism. The eco-aesthetic meditations of Hayes’s poetry highlight conceptual links between nature and notions of the dwelling space (‘oikos’), and, at the same time, suggest that material culture, specifically the fin-de-siècle craze for beautiful objects and textures, furnished Victorian nature poetry.
Essai de déferrisation naturelle d’une eau de source dans un village de Kabylie (Nord algérien)
Authors: Benamara Salem , Messaoui Mehenna
Published: April 2023

Ce travail est un essai de déferrisation par aération/décantation naturelle d’une eau de source située au village de Tazerouts (sud-est de la région de Tizi-Ouzou, dans le Nord algérien) par utilisation d’une installation prototype (IP). L’objectif est de ramener la turbidité de l’eau, critère utilisé pour évaluer l’efficacité de déferrisation, de 12,5 (valeur initiale) à 1 unité de turbidité néphélométrique (UTN) au maximum, avant d’envisager l’extrapolation des résultats obtenus au système d’adduction gravitaire existant dédié à l’eau ferrugineuse (SADEF). Celui-ci fournit une eau avec une turbidité de 11 UTN qui dépasse le seuil de potabilité. L’IP est constituée d’une série de 9 grands bacs en plastique et 6 petits bacs en plexiglas placés en alternance, générant une surface totale de décantation de 2 m2. Trois débits d’eau entrant dans l’IP (0,5 (Q0,5), 0,25 (Q0,25) et 0,1 L/min (Q0,1)) ont été appliqués. La turbidité de l’eau a été mesurée à la sortie de l’IP à différents intervalles de temps. Les résultats obtenus montrent que : i) le meilleur traitement de déferrisation correspond au débit Q0,1 puisqu’il permet de réduire la turbidité de 12,5±3,5 UTN (avant traitement) à 0,40±0,23 UTN (après traitement) pour un temps d’écoulement d’eau suivi à la sortie de l’IP de 5,5 jours, et ii) l’eau ainsi déferrisée garde sa turbidité à un niveau très satisfaisant de 0,23 UTN après une année d’entreposage à 6 °C. Au regard de leur importance, nous préconisons d’adapter progressivement ces résultats au SADEF, en veillant à la qualité physicochimique et microbiologique de l’eau, depuis la source jusqu’au consommateur.

Authors: Ovchinnikova K.V. , Zhukova I.Y. , Degtyar L.A.
Published: April 2023

The physicomechanical properties and morphology of composite electrochemical coatings (CEC) nickel-cobalt-nanodiamond from a chloride electrolyte-colloid of optimal composition have been investigated. For this CEC, microhardness (21-25 GPa) and internal compressive stresses (150-210 GPa) were determined. The study of wear and the Corrodcoot-test of the CEC showed a higher wear resistance (1,5 times) and the protective ability (2-3 times) of the CEC in comparison with chrome coatings. Studies of the CEC morphology and the nickel-cobalt alloy showed that the roughness of the resulting deposits, in comparison with nickel coatings, is 10 times less, and the fractal dimension of the coating surface is of the greatest importance. The cubic type of the nickel-cobalt-nanodiamond CEC lattice is established. The leveling effect on the structure of galvanic deposits of nanodiamond introduced from outside, as well as of microheterogeneous nickel and cobalt compounds formed in the electrolyte-colloid, has been determined.
Selection of Protective Coating System for Tank Inner Surface
Authors: Yamshchikova S.A. , Nasibullina O.A.
Published: April 2023

Inner surface of tanks is subject to corrosion due to constant contact with aggressive medium. The greatest danger from the point of view of possible corrosion destruction of steel is water (bottom, lower belts of the tank) and gas-air mixture (roof, upper belt) due to saturation with aggressive components: hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, salts. Failure statistics show that the main reason for the failure of oil tanks (about 70%) is the corrosive wear of the surface that comes into contact with the aggressive medium. The application of paint coatings on the internal surfaces of steel tanks for the storage of oil and oil products is an effective measure to reduce corrosion and increase the life of tanks. However, there are a great many coatings. From the experience of tank operation, paint coatings of the following types were selected to analyze the effectiveness of corrosion protection: XC-717, EP-0020, FL-777, VN-780. To select the paint coating of the inner surface of the tank, physical and mechanical parameters were determined and calculations of the corrosion rate of the tank walls for the above paint coatings were carried out. After physical and mechanical tests, it was established that the best values of the coating are EP-0020. Thus, it is recommended to use a EP-0020 coating as a passive protection of the inner surface to ensure the durability of the tanks.

Published: April 2023

In recent years, the materials industry has begun to develop in the directions on enabling the effect of nanomaterials. Nanomaterials are one of the most basic materials that have helped in the development of industrial technology because of their unique properties. These properties make them spread in many areas, especially in the electrical and thermal. Still, traditional materials, at present, suffer from issues that restrict their use, such as thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. Currently, nanomaterials owing to outstanding performance those traditional materials do not possess. In contrast, scientists have recently focused their efforts on increasing the (electrical and thermal) applications of epoxy resins. In this study, we combined nanoparticles (CaTiO3) with type epoxy resin (Quickmast 105) with different concentrations of CaTiO3 (0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05 wt%) by casting. Several tests such as thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, electrical conductivity, dielectric constant and dielectric loss have been carried out. The test results showed a significant increase in thermal conductivity with increasing concentrations of nanoparticles in epoxy, decreasing thermal expansion by 28%, and increasing AC conductivity for all concentrations. The relative permittivity (dielectric constant) of epoxy nanocomposites remains nearly constant with increasing frequency. For dielectric loss, it can be seen that the epoxy nanocomposite's tan values are increasing also with high concentrations.

Published: April 2023

La ricerca nel settore chimico e tecno-farmacologico ha permesso l’utilizzo di dispositivi medici a base di prodotti biologici nelle diverse fasi del processo di riparazione tessutale delle ferite acute e croniche. L’olio di neem e di iperico, l’aloe vera, gli acidi grassi essenziali vengono applicati sulla lesione solo dopo aver rimosso il tessuto non vitale e in assenza di biofilm e/o infezione. Il miele, invece, viene impiegato nella fase del debridement grazie alle sue proprietà biologiche-naturali e alla capacità di richiamare acqua dai tessuti circostanti la lesione permettendo così il distacco del tessuto non vitale dal letto di lesione (debridement autolitico). In presenza di biofilm o infezione della lesione il solo debridement indicato è quello chirurgico. Lo studio ha valutato la possibilità di utilizzare le proprietà autolitiche del miele su lesioni anche in presenza di biofilm o infezione locale, dimostrando come tale utilizzo sia possibile specie nei pazienti in cui il debridement chirurgico è controindicato.

Published: April 2023

The idea of a smart city and a new capital city in Indonesia is complex, so planning and the government's role are crucial. The purpose of this research is based on two big questions about the government's plan for preparing for development and the potential for smart city development in the new capital city. This study was done based on the results of a direct examination of official government documents using a thematic analysis approach and an analytical tool called Nvivo 12 Plus. This research was able to show what the Indonesian government's plans are and what they could do to build smart cities in the new capital city (IKN/Nusantara). The findings of this study map out six smart city support systems, which are the government's priority plans, including urban systems, safety and security, livability and urban life, government services, the environment and sustainability, and access and mobility. They all focus on technology adaptation, digitization, renewable energy, and sustainability. Despite these priority plans, there are still significant challenges to rethinking the prospects and potential for developing smart cities in the new capital city, especially the issues of human resources, budget capacity, infrastructure, and government bureaucratic adaptation patterns. This study proposes to set up a smart governance system to adapt to the new system, primarily to accommodate those problems and challenges. It can contribute to unravelling smart cities' complexities, challenges, and future development potential.

Published: April 2023

When discussing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in developing nations, academics and policymakers frequently ignore the perspectives of local producers. This paper fills a void in the literature by explicitly adopting a phenomenological approach and mapping the justifications offered by regional manufacturers to CSR programs in the West. To investigate this topic, data from two qualitative studies on CSR programs in Sialkot, Pakistan’s soccer ball industry were used. Previous research has presented technologies related to managing a green aircraft fleet, including retrofits, fleet renewal, and alternative biofuels, as well as opportunities to carry out retrofits and value emissions. An alternative integer program model has also been developed to optimize fleet replacement strategies within budgets. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has noted the ineffectiveness of airplane operations. Since 2005, IATA’s Green Teams have been working with airlines to reduce this inefficiency. Improved operational practices are expected to reduce emissions by 2020. Thus, more efficient operations can reduce CO2 emissions and conserve fuel. Any financial benefits from an international plan to cut airplane emissions should be set aside for environmental causes, and these profits must be partially reinvested. Only a few of the additional measures being taken to lower the emissions profile of the global aviation industry include supporting the development and use of more fuel-efficient aircraft and low-carbon, sustainable jet fuels. The Program in Science and Human Affairs at the Battelle Memorial Institute in Geneva was established between 1972 and 1976 to conduct research and address complex and interrelated problem groups using the DEMATEL (Decision-making Testing and Evaluation Laboratory) system. DEMATEL is one of the decision-making tools that employs several criteria to extract the complex structure of a problem. The DEMATEL method is widely used to identify the cause-and-effect relationships among different elements of a complex problem.

Human resource potential in agrarian sector: gender aspect
Authors: Alpysbaev K. S. , Mukhamadiyeva A. A. , Orazgalieva A. K.
Published: April 2023

The agrarian sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan as the most important branch of the country's economy is a key element of the national security system that ensures food security of the population. Now there are many serious problems in the agricultural sector. The population living in rural areas is enthusiastic about moving to cities. The reasons for this are the low quality of life and the poor state of infrastructure in rural areas, as well as the low level of interest in the agricultural sector among rural youth and low wages. These structural problems have led to a decrease in the share of the agricultural sector in the country's economy and have resulted in many agricultural products being imported from neighboring countries to meet the level of demand for food. In turn, we believe that one of the most important ways to increase labor productivity in the agricultural sector is measures aimed at improving the human resource capacity of rural areas. Regardless the level of technological advancement the world around us is, the main element of the labor market is the workforce. The aim of the article is a gender assessment of human resources potential of the agricultural sector. If to pay attention to the structure of human resources potential in the labor market, the majority of industries in rural regions employ male citizens. The reason for this is the specific features of the agricultural production sector (high labor intensity of the working process, irregular working hours, etc.). However, at present there is also a low tendency to increase the number of women employed as managerial personnel in the production enterprises of the agrarian sector or engaged in activities not directly related to the production of agrarian products.
