Authors: Eldabah Nour Mahmoud , Shoukry Amin , Khair-Eldeen Wael , Kobayashi Sengo , Gepreel Mohamed Abdel Hady
Published: December 2023

The excellent biocompatibility of Ti and Zr alloys makes them the best candidates for orthopedic implantations. The design of high Ti and Zr-containing alloys that show low Young's modulus for implant manufacturing is the objective of this work. Here, a feed-forward-back propagation neural network was used to speed up the design process and optimize alloy composition. The β-typeTi45-Zr39-Nb12-Mo4 alloy is designed and showed promising properties. The alloy showed a low elastic modulus of 78 GPa and a high yield strength of 891 MPa resulting in a high elastic admissible strain that made it suitable for orthopedic applications.
Status and Challenges in Biomedical Applications of LDHs
Authors: Richetta Maria , de Crescenzo Chiara , Narducci Riccardo , Montanari Roberto , Varone Alessandra
Published: December 2023

This work briefly discusses the applications of Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs) to medicine and presents a study regarding the growth of LDHs on the biodegradable AZ31 alloy foreseen to manufacture a rib-fixator. Mg is one of the most investigated metallic materials for biomedical applications owing to its high biocompatibility and osteointegration, as well as a value of the elastic modulus close to that of human bone. Since Mg is essential for metabolism, when it degrades forming Mg2+ ions, it promotes healing and growth of bone tissue. Experiments have been carried out to grow LDHs on the alloy surface in view to retard corrosion in human body and intercalate drugs to be released in-situ, with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial action.
Carbon Dots Release from Biodegradable Coatings Deposited by Aerosol-Assisted Open-Air Plasma
Authors: Morand Gabriel , Chevallier Pascale , Naccache Rafik , Tatoulian Michael , Mantovani Diego
Published: December 2023

Open-air aerosol-assisted plasma deposition has emerged as an efficient process to deposit innovative composite coatings. In this work, it was used to investigate biodegradable polymeric coatings loaded with carbon dots (CDs) for bioengineering and biomedical applications. The structure, composition, wettability, and biodegradation of these coatings depend on the precursors used, here methacrylic anhydride and ethylene glycol di-methacrylate. The effectiveness of the deposition was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron and Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopies, i.e., polymerization of vinyl groups and integrity of hydrolysable functions. The latter allow control the CDs release over time, which were homogenously distributed in the coating, as confirmed by electronic and confocal microscopies. Both coatings were found to be non-cytotoxic to human dermal fibroblasts. This one-step open-air acrylate-based plasma deposition strategy has enabled the tuning of the coating release profile and offers new perspectives for drug delivery applications.
Hydrogen Embrittlement in as-Quenched Martensitic Steels - Application of Incremental Step Loading Technique with Novel Tuning-Fork Test
Authors: Latypova Renata , Nyo Tun Tun , Kömi Jukka I. , Pallaspuro Sakari
Published: December 2023

Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) is a well-known issue, especially with ultrahigh-strength steels (UHSS). Various testing methods are utilised to study HE, but they typically require tensile test equipment, or are impractical due to limited stress control with standard geometries. We have developed a novel Tuning-fork test (TFT) to study HE susceptibility of steels with a new specimen geometry, which can be stressed accurately without tensile test equipment. The test method utilises in situ electrochemical hydrogen charging and constant displacement for stressing of the notched specimens by bending. Crack initiation and propagation are controlled with an isolated tensile stress region, and the failure process is monitored with a loadcell. TFT is a simple and fast testing method, which allows ranking of UHSSs, and to investigate, e.g., microstructural effects on susceptibility to HE and H-induced fracture processes. Here in this study, we present the state-of-the-art with the improved more precise second-generation TFT setup, which benefits from a more sensitive loadcell and a more stable fine-tuneable differential screw adjustment. We extend TFT to testing of martensitic steels with nominal hardness from 400 HBW to 600 HBW with the Incremental step loading technique (ISLT). The results show that TFT with ISLT is well applicable for ranking ultrahigh-strength steels based on their susceptibility to HE. Force-time data from ISLT can also be used for the determination of a material-specific threshold stress level, and the last step for the calculation of a crack initiation-time and time-to-fracture. However, the current manual operation of the loading screw can still limit maximum duration of a test.

-correspondences and compact quantum group actions on Pimsner algebras
Authors: Bhattacharjee Suvrajit , Joardar Soumalya
Published: December 2023

Let G be a compact quantum group. We show that given a G-equivariant
$\textrm {C}^*$
-correspondence E, the Pimsner algebra
$\mathcal {O}_E$
can be naturally made into a G-
$\textrm {C}^*$
-algebra. We also provide sufficient conditions under which it is guaranteed that a G-action on the Pimsner algebra
$\mathcal {O}_E$
arises in this way, in a suitable precise sense. When G is of Kac type, a KMS state on the Pimsner algebra, arising from a quasi-free dynamics, is G-equivariant if and only if the tracial state obtained from restricting it to the coefficient algebra is G-equivariant, under a natural condition. We apply these results to the situation when the
$\textrm {C}^*$
-correspondence is obtained from a finite, directed graph and draw various conclusions on the quantum automorphism groups of such graphs, both in the sense of Banica and Bichon.
South Africa-sur-Nemunas1 : Transnational Hinterlands in Dan Jacobson’s Heshel’s Kingdom
Authors: Kusek Robert
Published: December 2023

The paper investigates the representation of Central Europe and its hinterlands in selected works by 20th-century South African writers. It pays special attention to Dan Jacobson’s Heshel’s Kingdom about Jacobson’s travel to Lithuania in search of the writer’s “middle-European” patrimony. Drawing on previously unpublished archival records, the study argues that Jacobson’s book merges Central European hinterlands (their histories, identities, landscapes) with South African ones in a radical act of re-mapping both areas. The paper also insists on recognising a distinctive mode of conflating Central Europe and South Africa. This hinternational poetics annuls the existing imperial cartography and builds transnational connections between different hinterlands and their pasts. Additionally, the article demonstrates how the need to “unlearn” imperial history allows for a geographic/spatial overlap between the “heart of the country” and the “core of Europe,” as well as creation of a network of transnational solidarity and implication across nations and ethnicities.
“Doing very well in South Africa”: Fiona Melrose, Karel Schoeman, and the Intertextual Afterlives of Woolf ’s
Authors: Van der Vlies Andrew
Published: December 2023

This essay examines two South African responses to Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway (1925): Fiona Melrose’s Johannesburg (2017), and Karel Schoeman’s Die noorderlig (published in Afrikaans in 1975). Melrose’s novel patterns character and plot directly on Woolf’s with allusions to her biography and to other reworkings of the text. Schoeman’s performs a less obvious homage to Mrs Dalloway in its exploration of the tensions between politics and poetics and formal engagement with the demands of experimentation and realism. The essay assesses these different modes of response, points to Woolf’s influence beyond the anglophone literary world, and positions Schoeman’s work (in particular) as deserving greater attention from those speaking –and writing about–English (and its inheritances) in South Africa.
The effects of Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Lactobacillus rhamnosus on cytokines and their related molecules: An ex vivo study on patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
Authors: Alaei Atefeh , Mahmoudi Mahmoud , Sahebari Maryam , Vahidi Zohreh , Tabasi Nafiseh , Rastin Maryam
Published: December 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the ex vivo impact of Lactobacillus delbrueckii (L. delbrueckii) and Lactobacillus rhamnosus (L. rhamnosus) on inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines as well as their related molecules on the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.

Patients and methods: This study was conducted with 20 newly diagnosed SLE patients (18 females, 2 males; mean age: 33.3±12.4 years; range, 18 to 68 years) between September 2017 and September 2018. Extracted PBMCs from each patient were divided into 4 cell groups in our study. Three cell groups act as treatment groups receiving L. rhamnosus (107 CFU/mL), L. delbrueckii (105 CFU/mL) or a mixture of both, and one group act as our untreated control group in the absence of any probiotic agents. All cell groups were cultured in RPMI 1460 medium for 48 h. Then, total RNA was extracted, and cDNA was synthesized.

Results: The gene expression levels of forkhead box P3 (FOXP3), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, and IL-2 were evaluated by a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The results revealed that expression levels of FOXP3, TGF-β, IL-10, and IL-2 increased and the level of IL-6 decreased in probiotics-receiving groups compared to the control group. Lactobacillus delbrueckii and L. rhamnosus enhanced the expression of regulatory T cell-related molecules such as FOXP3 and IL-2 and also increased the expression of IL-10. These probiotics also reduced the expression of IL-6 as proinflammatory cytokines in the PBMCs of SLE patients.

Conclusion: The results of the present study show that these probiotics could be effective in regulating the balance of cytokine gene expression ex vivo , and due to their beneficial effects, they can be an intriguing option in the production of new complement drugs for SLE

Let the Timid Speak: The Woman/Nature Metaphor in Zora Neale Hurston’s “Sweat”
Authors: Rohová Karla
Published: December 2023

This article explores Zora Neale Hurston’s short story “Sweat” (1926) from an ecofeminist perspective. When it comes to the role of nature in Hurston’s writing, ecocritical as well as feminist discussions often romanticize the role of nature in the lives of Hurston’s characters. Hurston’s short story “Sweat,” however, has generally been overlooked by ecocritics and ecofeminists, despite the fact that the story’s female protagonist Delia is repeatedly linked with nature or animals in the text. The aim of this paper is thus to examine the manner in which the main character Delia as well as her abusive husband Sykes are associated with nature, including animals, in order to critically assess the abuse Delia is subjected to. Particular attention is then devoted to three main parts of the story: Delia’s connection to her pony, the village men’s conversations and their subsequent comparison of Delia to sugar cane as well as Hurston’s reenactment of the fall from the Garden of Eden. Throughout the analysis, the focus is on the presence of dehumanization related to animalization or naturalization as well as on Hurston’s depiction of the dualistic character of the metaphors woman/nature and woman/animal along with the impact such associations have on Hurston’s characters.

Abstract

This paper is about Cultural Landscape and Heritage. Its aim is to argue for the need to expand the concept of World Heritage beyond widely accepted notions of historical, cultural and artistic heritage to include outstanding environmental sites such as situations of scenic beauty and biosphere reserves. The starting point was a description of two traditional, widely accepted concepts: cultural landscape and heritage. Subsequently, the evolution of the concept of cultural landscape was discussed, which resulted from demographic growth, technological and scientific development and the consequences of these facts. Based on this new notion of cultural landscape, the need to expand the concept of heritage was demonstrated. This is a controversial point, but one that has already been raised by people like Teilhard de Chardin and more recently by Pope Francisco in Encyclical 'Laudato Si'.

The development of the electric power system has a trend of increasing integration of both renewable energy sources and non-linear consumers, which cause voltage distortions in the network, i.e. the injection of current harmonics into the network. Due to the need to maintain the stability of the power system, as well as to maintain the proper operation of the relay protection, it is necessary to have precise algorithms for estimating the signal parameters in the system. For the correct operation of the relay protection, the estimation of the frequency and amplitude of the fundamental harmonic of the signal is of crucial importance. Higher harmonic distortions adversely affect the correct determination of these parameters. Over the years, a great number of algorithms that estimate network signal parameters in the time domain have been developed. In this paper, the Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) algorithm, based on the Second Order Generalized Integrator (SOGI), will be presented. Throughout the paper, the basic structure of the algorithm will be analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of the mentioned algorithm will be presented, with an analysis of the accuracy of the estimation of the frequency and amplitude of the fundamental harmonic of the signal, as well as the speed of convergence of the algorithm in case of sudden changes in the signal in the power system (short circuits and interruptions). The work will also show ways to improve the basic structure of the algorithm, in order to reduce oscillations in work and achieve better performance. The performance of the algorithm will be verefied by a series of simulations in the Matlab/Simulink software package.

O que leva a pluralidade a ser objeto de crises e rupturas políticas:
Authors: Arruda Neto Antonio
Published: December 2023

O presente texto tem como objetivo a compreensão da pluralidade como objeto de crises e rupturas na política. O tema é problematizado a partir do pressuposto pluralidade versus crise. No intuito de compreender, utilizou-se como fundamentação teórica o pensamento de Hannah Arendt. Por essa razão, tem-se como problemática de pesquisa:  por que a pluralidade na política é objeto de crises, a partir do pensamento de Hannah Arendt? Em relação aos objetivos, tem-se o geral em compreender a problemática, enquanto, os específicos são: (1) identificar o conceito de política em Hannah Arendt, (2) analisar o conceito de pluralidade em Arendt e (3) discutir a relação de crise da pluralidade no pensamento de Arendt. Sendo assim, a pesquisa, constitui-se como uma revisão bibliográfica, articulada com os principais livros da autora sobre o conceito de política: “As Origens do Totalitarismo” (1951), “A Condição Humana” (1958), “Entre o Passado e o Futuro” (1961) e o “O que é Política?” (1993). Espera-se como resultado discursivo a manutenção da pluralidade presente no pensamento de Arendt, como um remédio para evitar a solidão política. Embora a pluralidade seja fruto de rupturas, Arendt indica a possibilidade de novos inícios pelo que ela denominou de: “atividades verdadeiramente políticas”, que são o “agir” e o “falar”.

Dentro de los principales resultados se encuentra la necesidad de fomentar la ética en la práctica del profesional de la psicología forense, la recurrente importancia de la objetividad, validez y fiabilidad de las pruebas psicológicas aplicadas y el consecuente rigor a la hora de entregar las pruebas en la audiencia, cumpliendo con estándares de calidad científica. También se encontró que existe congruencia entre la normativa ecuatoriana y las prácticas internacionales reconocidas.
Perfiles descriptivos de los homicidios expresivos e instrumentales en España: un estudio de casos.
Authors: García Barceló Néstor
Published: December 2023

Uno de los principales retos existentes en la investigación científica sobre homicidios se ha centrado en la elaboración de tipologías criminales que resulten de utilidad para los investigadores policiales. Algunos de los modelos que tradicionalmente han explicado y clasificado los homicidios han sido la dicotomía Instrumental/Expresivo y el modelo Sistema-Acción, habiendo encontrado el primero de ellos gran respaldo en la literatura científica acerca de su utilidad. Esta investigación pretende describir las características de los homicidios simples instrumentales y expresivos en España a través del estudio de 27 casos de homicidio. Para la recogida de información se llevaron a cabo entrevistas semi-estructuradas con los agresores en prisión y para la descripción de los casos se utilizaron técnicas estadísticas univariantes y bivariantes. Los hallazgos sugieren que, a nivel descriptivo, existen algunas características diferentes en los homicidios instrumentales y los expresivos, especialmente en cuanto al sexo y las conductas de modus operandi.
Uso de los medios telemáticos en materia penal y su adecuación a las garantías del debido proceso
Authors: Pérez Leyva Carlos Manuel , Acosta Pozo Virginia  Mercedes
Published: December 2023

El uso de los medios telemáticos en materia penal y su adecuación a las garantías del debido proceso, utiliza una metodología histórica-deductiva-inductiva, con revisión bibliográfica en aras de determinar su objetivo general, el de analizar cómo la correcta aplicación de los medios telemáticos en la etapa judicial del proceso penal, garantizará íntegramente los principios procesales, que consagran un verdadero debido proceso consagrado en el Código Orgánico Integral Penal, con respaldo de la Constitución de la República del Ecuador. Analizando posibles violaciones de otros principios procesales recogidos en la Constitución, como en el ordenamiento jurídico penal, la necesidad de la presencialidad para apreciar las reacciones de los sujetos que intervienen y evidenciar el abuso de los medios tecnológicos. Los jueces pueden conocer personalmente a los implicados, y no solamente a través de documentos. Esto permite observar situaciones más allá de lo que queda asentado en un acta, en una grabación, por lo que puede recopilar información más completa acerca de los casos. Determinando una directa interrelación humana que permite un mayor conocimiento recíproco y personal entre quienes intervienen en el juicio oral.
ALIENAÇÃO PARENTAL: ENTENDENDO, PREVENINDO E SUPERANDO
Authors: Cavalcante Geovana , Thomazelli Luis Alberto , Silva Dantas Thales Eduardo
Published: December 2023

O objeto do presente artigo baseia-se em um tema de relevância prática e jurídica ligada intimamente com a advocacia artesanal atual.  A alienação parental é um fenômeno complexo e emocionalmente desafiador que afeta principalmente famílias em situações de separação ou divórcio. Entretanto, não se pode deixar de mencionar que esse fenômeno pode assumir  várias formas além da relação entre genitores e filhos em uma situação de divórcio. Essas formas podem ser classificadas em diferentes tipos, cada um com suas características específicas. Assim, o presente estudo terá como objeto entender as formas de alienação parental, bem como analisar um instrumento fornecido pelo ordenamento jurídico positivo para mitigação dos seus efeitos, qual seja a guarda compartilhada. Para elaboração do trabalho exposto foram utilizados todos os meios disponíveis, tais como consultas bibliográficas, artigos de jurisprudência sobre as questões analisadas perante os Tribunais, bem como pesquisa eletrônica.
Sociabilidad en tiempos bélicos
Authors: Soto Velasco Kurmi
Published: December 2023

Resumen

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la constitución y la permanencia de sociedades intelectuales en La Paz (Bolivia) entre 1881 y 1884. A pesar de que fue un periodo marcado por la guerra del Pacífico, el contexto bélico no significó un debilitamiento de estas prácticas de sociabilidad, sino que, al contrario, supuso su consolidación. 

El trabajo se basa en el estudio de distintas fuentes primarias, con acento en periódicos locales, en revistas, en folletos y en papeles sueltos. Su intención es aportar al mejor conocimiento de la cultura letrada boliviana –y, particularmente, paceña– del siglo xix. A través de esta propuesta, se pretende demostrar que el ejercicio de las letras tuvo un papel definitivo para las élites a lo largo de este periodo y que estuvo sujeto a una renovación generacional que prueba su vitalidad.

problema de la vida activa y la vida contemplativa en los inicios del Renacimiento
Authors: Perino Alejo
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo realizar un recorrido por los conceptos de “vida activa” y “vida contemplativa” en los primeros humanistas del Renacimiento. Para ello, nos detendremos primero en algunos antecedentes importantes de la Antigüedad, como Cicerón y Macrobio. Luego analizaremos las transformaciones que se producen durante la Edad Media, en particular la tensión entre una concepción de modos de vida o genera vivendi, y una concepción jerárquica de pasos espirituales. Finalmente, estudiaremos algunas de las obras de Francesco Petrarca y Leonardo Bruni. A partir del análisis del De vita solitaria y otros textos, afirmaremos que Petrarca pretende construir una síntesis entre las concepciones de modos de vida y la de pasos espirituales. A pesar de que Leonardo Bruni comparte el ideal de equilibrio, se aparta de la concepción jerárquica medieval. Para demostrarlo, analizaremos sus Vite di Dante e del Petrarca y su Epístola IX, 2 a Lauro Quirino.
Acerca de cosmopolitismo y nacionalismo en la historiografía europea anterior a la Primera Guerra Mundial
Authors: Devoto Fernando J.
Published: December 2023

La discusión entre historiadores llamados cosmopolitas e historiadores definidos nacionalistas, o, si se prefiere, entre obras que tendrían una u otra orientación, es un tema recurrente en la historiografía, como lo es la proposición de genealogías largas, como si esa dicotomía se hubiese presentado inmutada a lo largo del tiempo. Esa esquemática y aveces caricatural dualidad ha ido asimismo acompañada de otras dicotomías más generales que las engloban (por ejemplo: iluminismo y romanticismo) y de juicios de valor explícitos o implícitos que en general procedían desde fuera delámbito de los historiadores, pero influían en ellos.A partir de ese diagnóstico, la propuesta del artículo es reflexionar, por una parte, acerca del empleo ambiguo y polisémico de muchas de las etiquetas utilizadas y, por la otra, elegir dentro de una periodización laxa algunos momentos tópicos, como la segunda mitad del siglo xviii y la segunda mitad del largo siglo XIX, como territorios para explorar –desde una aproximación atenta a los ejemplos y no exhaustiva– si efectivamente puede defenderse la idea de épocas que tengan alguna uniformidad de enfoques, incluso dentro de contextos nacionales, o si, por el contrario, dentro de cada una de ellas se daba una pluralidad de situaciones que difuminaban la dicotomía nacionalismo-cosmopolitismo historiográfico. Los ejemplos elegidos, que no aspiran a ser representativos sino a aludir a las diferencias, más bien sugieren la presencia, más allá de las perspectivas canónicas, de una coexistencia inestable entre ambos enfoques, en el despliegue temporal y en un mismo autor, o incluso una imbricación entre ambas aproximaciones, en la que podían  confundirse en el mismo historiador disimilitudes entre las dimensiones argumentativas o eruditas y la intencionalidad en la intervención pública.
A la sombra de los caudillos
Authors: Altamirano Carlos
Published: December 2023

El foco de este trabajo está colocado sobre las representaciones de un fenómeno que, desde el siglo xix en adelante, se aceptó como típicamente latinoamericano: el caudillismo. A través de un análisis de la argumentación empleada por cuatro letrados latinoamericanos –Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, Justo Sierra, Francisco García Calderón y Laureano Vallenilla Lanz– acerca de la figura del caudillo y su rol en los nuevos Estados surgidos de la Independencia, se ha buscado demostrar la importancia que en el plano discursivo tuvo el caudillismo, convertido en herramienta teórica para dar cuenta de los problemas de la región y de sus posibles soluciones. Incorporada esa figura a los debates en torno a la identidad latinoamericana, su construcción como tópico formó parte también de la realidad política y social latinoamericana, aun cuando los estudios historiográficos más recientes han coincidido en subrayar las formas en que se alejaba la representación de la realidad concreta de los caudillos de sangre y hueso. Estas son las principales hipótesis que han presidido este trabajo.

A Decade of Biodiesel Industry in Brazil: An Analysis of Concentration and Market Structure from 2010 to 2021
Authors: Santos Manoela , Stamm Cristino
Published: December 2023

This article analyzes the Brazilian Biodiesel Industry from 2010 to 2021 using the CR4, CR8 indexes, and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). The study uses data on biodiesel production from the National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels [ANP] database and analyzes the concentration of producers in the CR2, CR4, and CR8 categories through frequency distribution. The results show that the biodiesel industry has maintained a moderately low level of concentration, with small variations in CR4 and CR8. The analysis identifies the industry as an oligopoly plus oligopsony, or a bilateral oligopoly, with large producers dominating production and small producers having a negligible share.
infancia, una “flora abundante de crueldades”
Authors: Visaguirre Leonardo
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo aborda la historia de la educación argentina desde una perspectiva ligada a la historia de las ideas filosóficas/pedagógicas (Roig, 1993, 2009; Arpini, 2003; Ramaglia, 2020), tomando como objeto de estudio la representación de la infancia presente en los trabajos sobre criminología infantil del pedagogo positivista Víctor Mercante (1870-1934). Analizamos los elementos epistemológicos que articulan el discurso positivista e higienista del pedagogo normalista argentino y su relación con el complejo universo discursivo que lo entrama y promueve. Realizamos una lectura filosófica de la representación de la infancia y de la función del higienismo en el despliegue de dispositivos y estrategias biopolíticas por parte del Estado en la educación en torno a la infancia anormal. Nuestro objeto de estudio es construido a partir de una reflexión acotada, centrada en los trabajos sobre criminalidad infantil producidos por Víctor Mercante en la cárcel de Mercedes en Buenos Aires durante el transcurso de tres años (1902 - 1905) y publicados luego como “Notas sobre criminología infantil” (1902), “Estudios de criminología infantil” (1902a) y “Estudios sobre criminalidad infantil” (1905) en la revista “Archivos de psiquiatría criminología y ciencias afines”.
