Variations lansoniennes
Authors: Laforgue Pierre
Published: March 2023

L’objet de cette étude est de montrer comment le lansonisme a été aux origines de la sociocritique. Deux textes de Claude Duchet sont examinés de ce point de vue : la présentation de Cromwell en 1967 dans l’édition des Œuvres complètes de Hugo au Club français du livre ; l’article « Pour une socio-critique ou variations sur un incipit » en tête du n° 1 de Littérature en février 1971. Le premier relève de la conception lansonienne de la littérature comme « fait social », le second théorise la socialité du texte, la différence étant qu’en 1971 l’idéologie qui était au centre de l’étude de 1967 est désormais appréhendée non plus comme discours, mais comme textualisation du discours.
Roger Caillois : les bouches entropiques et le porteur d’ocelles
Authors: Tremblay Sacha
Published: March 2023

C’est avec une fascination croissante que Roger Caillois repère son œuvre, pourtant hétéroclite et éparse, voire incongrue, contenue comme en puissance en quelques-unes de ses expériences infantiles. Retraçant leur parcours, le présent article montre comment la mise en récit de ce qui surgit à rebours comme un destin organise, à travers la mise à jour d’un affrontement ambivalent au maternel, l’imaginaire et la poétique cailloisienne, et aboutit au dernier oxymore de son œuvre, celui d’un inceste éthique.
Reconnaissance au travail : entre plaisir et gêne
Authors: Abeli Mukamba Alexis , Dupont Claire
Published: March 2023

Notre recherche s’intéresse aux perceptions susceptibles d’émerger chez un salarié face aux actes de reconnaissance ou de non-reconnaissance auxquels il aurait été confronté mais aussi auxquels auraient été confrontés ses collègues. La théorie de l’échange social suppose que les salariés reconnus adoptent en contrepartie les comportements que l’on attend d’eux. Est-ce bien le cas lorsqu’ils réalisent des processus de comparaison sociale et considèrent la façon dont leurs collègues ont été ou non reconnus ? Notre recherche vient combler, par une approche qualitative, une littérature encore lacunaire sur la reconnaissance non monétaire et ses effets éventuellement négatifs. Nous basant sur des messages adressés au personnel et/ou des murs de remerciements installés dans l’entreprise Telco_Plus à des fins de reconnaissance publique, nous avons mobilisé la méthodologie de l’observation participante et utilisé l’analyse inductive générale. L’analyse des 26 entretiens menés auprès des émetteurs et bénéficiaires de ces marques d’attention, mais aussi auprès de certains de leurs collègues qui n’en ont pas bénéficié, invite le manager à reconsidérer l’idée de réciprocité qui voudrait que ses subordonnés réagissent positivement aux marques de reconnaissance qu’il leur témoigne. Si les salariés reconnus ressentent un certain plaisir, ils peuvent aussi éprouver de la gêne ou contrariété face à leurs collègues non reconnus. Nos résultats encouragent le manager à inscrire ses actes de reconnaissance dans un cadre plus large qui intègre les perceptions développées par les membres de son équipe. Ils en appellent aussi à davantage de recherches sur les comportements découlant de ces perceptions.
Integrating Trauma-Informed Teaching and Learning Principles Into Nursing Education
Authors: Clark Cynthia M.
Published: March 2023

Background:

Trauma-informed teaching and learning (TITL) considers the effect of trauma on learners stemming from sources such as political tensions, racial and gender inequities, health disparities, poverty, community violence, bullying, and most recently, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Method:

TITL is an inclusive, learner-centered teaching methodology that has evolved during the past two decades to become more relevant in times of crisis. The foundation for effective TITL practice is the educator's grasp of how trauma affects learner behavior, performance, relationships, and coping.

Results:

The principles of TITL are described as well as how each principle can be implemented to enhance learner engagement, strengthen relationships, and foster an inclusive learning environment aimed at facilitating learning and enhancing personal and professional growth.

Conclusion:

Nursing faculty can implement TITL learner-centered, inclusive, inquiry-based, and adaptive strategies to promote learner engagement and empowerment, improve academic performance, and foster stronger faculty-learner connections.

Quality Management of Objective Structured Clinical Examinations at a Multicampus Nursing College: A Pilot Study
Authors: Nyangeni Thandolwakhe , van Rooyen Dalena R.M. , ten Ham-Baloyi Wilma
Published: March 2023

Background:

Although objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) are deemed objective and bias-free, human error, inconsistency, nonuniformity in grading, and inter-rater variability have been reported. Quality management of OSCEs therefore is crucial.

Method:

Semistructured individual interviews with 14 nurse educators and a qualitative document analysis of 15 external moderators' reports were conducted.

Results:

Participants identified measures in place that facilitated quality in management of OSCEs, including a peer review system, control measures ensuring confidentiality, pre-OSCE briefing, orientation, and validation of assessment tools. However, gaps were identified relating to inadequate OSCE assessment tools and documents, as well as a lack and maldistribution of resources, such as physical space, appropriate fidelity manikins, and sufficiently trained examiners.

Conclusion:

To address gaps, developing robust policies, pilot testing OSCEs and assessment tools, efficiently budgeting for and using required resources, conducting in-depth examiner briefing and training, and setting a gold standard for assessment practices are recommended.

Are We Witnessing a New Wave of Substance Use Disorders?: A Spotlight on Stimulant Use Disorders
Authors: Mumba Mercy Ngosa , Davis Lori L.
Published: March 2023

Stimulant use disorders are emerging as a serious global threat to health. Although research, clinical, and policy efforts have largely concentrated on opioid use disorders over the past decade, exponential rises in prevalence and overdose deaths attributable to stimulant use disorders warrant renewed attention. To date, no approved medications are available to treat stimulant use disorders; however, behavioral interventions have been effective and should be proactively promoted. Similarly, complementary and integrative therapies and harm reduction services have emerging evidence for effectiveness in treating these conditions. Research, practice, and policy interventions should address stigma for medications for stimulant use disorders when available, vaccine hesitancy if vaccines are approved and safe, environmental surveillance to reduce population exposure to toxic effects of methamphetamines, and educational interventions for health providers to increase competency to reduce the long-term effects on various body systems.

Trauma-Informed Care and How Social Media Contributes to Trauma
Authors: Orionzi Bako
Published: March 2023

Trauma has become an important part of medical care as we continue to understand further its effects on health over time. Trauma-informed care therefore has become a necessary part of medical services. Understanding the fundamentals of trauma-informed care and how it was developed is crucial to implementing this care into medical training and across all medical services involved in children's health. This leads to the framework created for the public health approach of trauma-informed care, with primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of management. Social media has also increasingly been implicated in contributing to trauma, including causing vicarious trauma, which can be just as detrimental to health and wellness. If we can encourage advocating for trauma-informed care training and policies across medical services, we can create a system with a focus on this growing factor in health care.

Control and Prevention of Invasive Pneumococcal Disease: A Current and Historical Perspective
Authors: Accardi Kaitlyn T. , Bocchini Joseph A.
Published: March 2023

Although significant progress has been made in reducing the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in children, IPD remains a continued threat. Since the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs), rates of IPD and non-IPD have substantially decreased. However, serotype replacement reversed some of the benefits of PCV7 and, more recently, PCV13. Several replacement serotypes are antibiotic resistant, which is a cause of concern for providers. The introduction of the higher-valency conjugate vaccines PCV15 and PCV20 is expected to provide greater serotype coverage; unfortunately, these vaccines do not include some of the recently emerged serotypes. Recommendations for the use of the 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine in high-risk populations may be modified because of the effectiveness of the newer PCVs. Pediatricians must be aware of the new vaccine strategies for the prevention of IPD and the manifestations of IPD so that prompt empirical therapy can be initiated when treatment is required.

International Travel Vaccine Recommendations for Children
Authors: Machicao Maria Fernanda , Yashar-Gershman Sarah , Romero José R. , Bernstein Henry H.
Published: March 2023

Children are at risk of contracting diseases while traveling internationally. Beyond the importance of receiving routine vaccinations, physicians should also discuss with parents the effectiveness of vaccination as a strategy to protect their child against disease before travel. This article (1) explores the universally recommended routine vaccines that are particularly important for children to be up to date before travel (ie, measles, mumps, rubella; hepatitis A and B; polio; meningococcal; coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19]; and influenza) and (2) explains the travel-specific vaccination recommendations (ie, dengue, cholera, typhoid, tick-borne encephalitis, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, and rabies). Physicians can encourage parents to consult the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for travel vaccine recommendations (
https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel
). Children must remain up to date on universally recommended vaccines and receive the appropriate vaccines before international travel to prevent serious illness and limit the spread of diseases in the United States.

Daytime Napping and Metabolic Syndrome: A 4-Year Follow-Up Study of Chinese Middle-Aged and Older Adults
Authors: Zhao Xinyi , Li Danyu , Yu Nan , Zhang Quan , Du Jiayuan , Zhang Mi
Published: March 2023

The current study examined the relationship between napping duration and metabolic syndrome (MetS) among Chinese middle-aged and older adults over 4 years. We included 4,526 individuals aged ≥50 years who completed the 2011 and 2015 waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. General linear models were conducted to analyze the association of napping duration (none, 1 to 29 minutes, 30 to 59 minutes, 60 to 89 minutes, and ≥90 minutes) with MetS. At baseline, a higher prevalence of MetS was observed among participants with longer napping durations (60 to 89 minutes or ≥90 minutes) compared to non-nappers (odds ratio [OR] = 1.27, OR = 1.51, respectively). Among all participants, a napping duration ≥90 minutes at baseline was correlated with an increased risk of MetS 4 years later (OR = 1.58). Among participants without MetS at baseline, excessive napping (≥90 minutes) was predictive of a higher incidence of MetS 4 years later (OR = 1.46). Results revealed that excessive napping was related to an increased prevalence and incidence of MetS among Chinese middle-aged and older adults. [

Published: March 2023

Nickel nitride supported on natural bentonite was prepared and tested for hydrocracking Crude Palm Oil (CPO). The catalyst was prepared using the wet impregnation method and various nickel nitride loading. Subsequently, the nickel nitrate-bentonite was calcined and nitrided under H2 steam. The surface acidity of as-synthesized NiN-bentonite was evaluated using the gravimetric pyridine gas. Meanwhile, the physiochemical features of the catalyst were assessed using XRD, FT-IR and SEM-EDX. The results showed that the NiN species was finely dispersed without affecting the bentonite's structure. Furthermore, the co-existence of Ni and N species on EDX analysis suggested the NiN was successfully supported onto the bentonite, while the surface acidity features of raw bentonite were increased to 1.713 mmol pyridine/g at 8 mEq/g of nickel nitride loading. The catalytic activity towards the CPO hydrocracking demonstrated that the surface acidity features affect the CPO conversion, with the highest conversion achieved (84.21%) using NiN-bentonite 8 mEq/g loading. At all nickel nitride loading, the NiN-bentonite could generate up to 81.98–83.47% of bio-kerosene fraction, followed by the bio-gasoline ranging from 13.12–13.9%, and fuel oil ranging from 2.89–4.57%.

Research on application of helmet wearing detection improved by YOLOv4 algorithm
Authors: Yu Haoyang , Tao Ye , Cui Wenhua , Liu Bing , Shi Tianwei
Published: March 2023

Aiming at the problem that the model of YOLOv4 algorithm has too many parameters and the detection effect of small targets is poor, this paper proposes an improved helmet fitting detection model based on YOLOv4 algorithm. Firstly, this model improves the detection accuracy of small targets by adding multi-scale prediction and improving the structure of PANet network. Then, the improved depth-separable convolution was used to replace the standard 3 × 3 convolution, which greatly reduced the model parameters without reducing the detection ability of the model. Finally, the k_means clustering algorithm is used to optimize the prior box. The model was tested on the self-made helmet dataset helmet_dataset. Experimental results show that compared with the safety helmet detection model based on Faster RCNN algorithm, the improved YOLOv4 algorithm has faster detection speed, higher detection accuracy and smaller number of model parameters. Compared with the original YOLOv4 model, the mAP of the improved YOLOv4 algorithm is increased by 0.49%, reaching 93.05%. The number of model parameters was reduced by about 58%, to about 105 MB. The model reasoning speed is 35 FPS. The improved YOLOv4 algorithm can meet the requirements of helmet wearing detection in multiple scenarios.
On the well-posedness of the "Bando-follow the leader" car following model and a time-delayed version
Authors: Gong Xiaoqian , Keimer Alexander
Published: March 2023

In this contribution we study the "Bando-follow the leader" car-following model, a second order ordinary differential equation, for its well-posedness. Under suitable conditions, we provide existence and uniqueness results, and also bounds on the higher derivatives, i.e., velocity and acceleration. We then extend the result to the "reaction" delay case where the delay is instantiated in reacting on the leading vehicle's position and velocity. We prove that the solution of the delayed model converges to the undelayed when the delay converges to zero and present some numerical examples underlying the idea that it is worth looking in more details into delay as it might explain problems in traffic flow like "phantom shocks" and "stop and go" waves.

Published: March 2023

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, and currently there is no cure. New therapeutic strategies that have the potential to address the complex pathophysiology of AD are urgently required; medicinal cannabis offers this possibility. Several potential leads can be extracted from Cannabis sativa (cannabis) that can target AD pathophysiology and alleviate symptoms, making it a prime candidate for AD drug discovery research. To date, most cannabis and AD research has focused on the major cannabinoids Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), paying little attention to other plant constituents with therapeutic properties for AD. This chapter will highlight emerging evidence on the therapeutic potential of medicinal cannabis going beyond CBD and THC to discuss cannabinol (CBN), cannabigerol (CBG), cannabichromene (CBC), cannabinoid acids, and other cannabinoid homologs, terpenes, and flavonoids that may have relevance to AD therapy. Further, the entourage effect, clinical implications, and directions for future research will be discussed.
Cannabinoid Neurobiology and Medical Cannabis Intervention for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Authors: Uzair Mohammad , Qaiser Hammad , Arshad Muhammad , Zafar Aneesa , Bashir Shahid
Published: March 2023

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative condition that leads to muscle wasting, weakness, and stiffness, is characterized by progressive loss of upper and lower extremity muscle cells. The development of therapies that do more than just slow disease progression is essential. Cannabinoids with a broad-spectrum neuroprotection profile appear to have the potential to manage ALS. Cannabinoids can reduce excitotoxicity and neuroinflammation via activating CB1 and CB2 receptors. To increase treatment efficacy and reduce side effects, cannabinoids, particularly THC and CBD, can effectively alleviate ALS-related symptoms, including spasticity and neuropathic pruritus. This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the effectiveness and the molecular pathways that cannabis activates to exert its potential pharmacotherapeutic effects for alleviating ALS-related symptoms.
Self-Regulation, Motivation, Emotion, and Skill Mastery of Online Learning
Authors: Guo Jiao , Ding Qinnan
Published: March 2023

Self-regulation is a core concept associated with the metacognitive, motivational, and emotional aspects of learning. The COVID-19 pandemic provides a large-scale setting to collect new empirical evidence to test this conceptual framework in an authentic online learning environment. By reference to 64,949 participants enrolled at 39 universities in China, the authors developed the Undergraduate Online Self-Regulated Learning Questionnaire and estimated the associations among self-regulation, motivation, emotion, and skill mastery with regard to online learning across different subgroups of a diverse student body. The results demonstrated that males, rural students, lower-division undergraduates, first-generation college students, SEAM majors, and students at elite universities reported significantly lower UOSL scores. After controlling for motivation and emotion, these gaps decreased substantially and become statistically nonsignificant. The findings highlight the critical role played by targeted interventions in the creation of a supportive online environment for disadvantaged subgroups.
Development, Sustainment, and Scaling of Self-Regulated Learning Analytics
Authors: Bernacki Matthew L.
Published: March 2023

Undergraduates who engage in high structure, high enrollment, active learning courses tend to perform best when they self-regulate their learning. Student self-regulated learning is encouraged by active learning designs that provide resources used to enact strategies and engage in planning, monitoring, and evaluation of one's learning processes. Some learners may need to “learn to learn” before these resources can be leveraged effectively. This chapter documents a scalable co-design and learning analytics project led by learning scientists and science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) instructors who enhanced digital resources of large-lecture courses' learning management systems (LMSs). Students' course engagement produced data about self-regulated learning processes, affording feature engineering, prediction modeling and provision of timely support to students predicted to struggle. The authors report initial results through the lens of self-regulated learning theory and elaborate cases demonstrating institutionalization and replicability to research and regional institutions.
Teaching Students to Be Students
Authors: Gooch Michael
Published: March 2023

Previous studies of self-regulated learning have focused primarily on K-12 learners in a co-present environment. This study focuses on the benefits of self-regulated learning techniques for adult learners taking transitional studies courses in the online modality. Advances in educational technology, including learning management systems and numerous interactive learning tools, have made it easier for subject matter experts, or SMEs, to design courses in which students learn key topics with minimal instructor intervention. This does not eliminate the instructor's role, but instead provides tools to allow the instructor to facilitate learning more effectively.
Evolution of the Definition of “Academically Gifted”
Authors: Tackett Cassidy , Tackett Seth P.
Published: March 2023

Education is an experience that should be offered to everyone equally. However, the authors know that individuals who have severe disabilities and exceptionalities can be underrepresented in a school system. In this chapter, the authors will discuss how “academically gifted” students are defined and how these definitions have differed from state to state, and how the definition can be improved so future definitions may be more inclusive of traits that may disqualify some students from being identified as “academically gifted.” Concepts to be explored include the inclusion of standards, if those standards are too broad or narrow, and historical perspectives of “academically gifted” education.
Using Student Profiles to Identify for Gifted and Talented Services
Authors: Thomas Meredith , Mascharka Stacia
Published: March 2023

This chapter depicts a gifted identification method using K–8 student data profiles. This method of gifted identification aligns student needs with comprehensive gifted and talented programming, and student data serve to inform instruction, not solely to identify whether or not students exhibit giftedness. Under the gifted and talented specialist's guidance, a trained committee conducts an anonymized review of data on the student profiles to uncover extraordinary potential, creativity, aptitude, and achievement while identifying the targeted student needs through universal screening. This chapter also examines the first-hand application of this student profile review. Anecdotes and documented experiences demonstrate the gifted identification process using student profiles capturing local norms, multiple criteria, and gifted service goals to guide the committee's anonymized review.
Differentiation for Today's Gifted Learners
Authors: Scott Kristina
Published: March 2023

Most gifted students today receive their education in the general education environment through differentiation (NAGC, 2020). With the push for standards-based education, many experts worry that gifted learners unintentionally fail to advance in their learning. Gifted students need to be taught in an environment that pushes them to interact with content in complex ways and motivates them to show their learning through engaging activities and tasks. One-way teachers can meet the needs of gifted learners is through using differentiation. Teachers can differentiate how they group students and the time they allocate to certain portions of a lesson. Content can be differentiated by asking gifted students to examine topics through categories of depth and complexity. Overall, gifted students should have opportunities for further learning and challenging curriculum in areas of interest, time to work independently on passion projects, accelerated learning, homogenous collaboration, and instructional delivery that encourages critical and deep thinking.

Simply put, metacognition is thinking about thinking; however, the concept of metacognition is so much more complex and multifaceted. The objective of this chapter is to provide an overview of metacognition and strategies that can be used in the classroom to support the education of gifted leaners. The chapter seeks to explore the following questions: (a) How has the educational history of the United States of America impacted gifted students and their learning experiences? (b) What is metacognition and how does it relate to the learning environments of gifted students? (c) What are metacognitive teaching strategies? (d) How can metacognitive teaching strategies be utilized to encourage autonomy within classrooms of gifted learners?

Published: March 2023

Having multiple identities, in this case gifted and LGBTQ+, that deviate from a student's school population majority and their community's majority can bring compounded challenges. Two goals of those working with gifted LGBTQ+ youth should be to recognize the challenges they face and help these youths “in building positive social supports that can serve as a buffer when difficult experiences occur” by creating a culture of belonging in their gifted program and classroom. Strategies for an inclusive classroom are provided, meeting the needs of LGBTQ+ and gifted LGBTQ+ students (Cross & Cross, 2015, p. 169).
Visual Mapping and Guiding Framework for the Educational Success of Twice-Exceptional Learners
Authors: Lim Lin
Published: March 2023

2e learners are complex and can present educationally as gifted underachievers, average learners, or learning-challenged students. Educators often struggle to find ways to guide the educational success of such learners due to a lack of tools and a guiding framework. This chapter introduces Nest!LE2e, a visually guided thinking, planning, and mapping framework and tool for schools, teachers, and parents when evaluating curriculum, instruction, and differentiation for twice-exceptional learners within local constraints. Visuals help to highlight and convey hard-to-integrate, complex interactions. Nest!LE2e allows for visual mapping of interactions amongst the 2e learner, the educator, contextual, and relational factors and creates a holistic synthesis of a 2e learner's educational profile that identifies areas for intervention and allows visual data to be tracked over time.

Published: March 2023

This chapter depicts a gifted programming framework following a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) model in K–12 education. Data-driven instruction and differentiation uphold a continuum of service model. This continuum is an essential characteristic of comprehensive gifted and talented programming. The gifted MTSS promotes talent development, creativity, and critical thinking in heterogeneous student groups while meeting the targeted needs of gifted students. This chapter also examines factors contributing to vulnerabilities in gifted education, the role of the gifted and talented teacher/specialist, and how to implement the gifted MTSS model effectively. Each tier in the gifted and talented program meets different learning objectives. The three tiers in the gifted MTSS are Gifted Tier I: Whole class push-in enrichment; Gifted Tier II: Content-based small group instruction; and Gifted Tier III: Pull-out gifted services.

A Intuição Ecológica Criativa na Tomada de Decisão Econômica na Democracia: o caso do Banco Finapop
Authors: Moroni Juliana , Pereira Junior Alfredo
Published: March 2023

A teoria dos dois sistemas (Kahneman, 2011), em suas várias vertentes, assume que a tomada de decisão humana é baseada em dois sistemas cognitivos: um que é automático, rápido, agindo com mínimo esforço cognitivo, intuitivo (no sentido de Morewedge & Kahneman, 2010), e majoritariamente inconsciente; e outro que é reflexivo, lento, atuando com intenso esforço cognitivo, racional e totalmente consciente. Neste trabalho, investigamos a teoria dos dois sistemas e sua aplicação na tomada de decisão econômica em governos democráticos, com ênfase especial na proposta de Kahneman. Consideramos sua abordagem incompleta e limitada na explicação do processo intuitivo que orienta a tomada de decisão. Essa limitação nos leva a defender a existência de um terceiro sistema de tomada de decisão em Economia: a intuição ecológica criativa, baseada no attunement entre affective drives e percepção direta de affordances, abordando não só as disposições e objetivos dos agentes, mas também a responsabilidade socioambiental das empresas e governos. Argumentamos que o terceiro sistema de tomada de decisão que propomos implica um conceito de intuição diferente do associativismo de ideias de Simon (1992), e damos como exemplo do funcionamento do terceiro sistema o processo de tomada de decisão que conduziu à formação do Banco Finapop, no Brasil.

Zemblanity and Big Data: the ugly truths the algorithms remind us of
Authors: Cavassane Ricardo Peraça
Published: March 2023

In this paper, we will argue that, while Big Data enthusiasts imply that the analysis of massive data sets can produce serendipitous (that is, unexpected and fortunate) discoveries, the way those models are currently designed not only does not create serendipity so easily but also frequently generates zemblanitous (that is, expected and unfortunate) findings.

O enfoque das capacidades e a educação para a dignidade humana
Authors: Dalbosco Claudio Almir , Nolli Marcelo Ricardo , Maraschin Renata
Published: March 2023

O ensaio investiga alguns aspectos do enfoque das capacidades humanas desenvolvido por Martha Nussbaum. Critica o enfoque reducionista do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) e a ideia de educação que lhe é subjacente. Expõe, resumidamente, a dimensão tripartite do enfoque das capacidades, constituída por capacidades inatas, internas e combinadas. Na sequência, problematiza, com base nisso, o vínculo da dimensão tripartite com as dez capacidades, dando atenção especial para a razão prática e a afiliação. Por fim, reconstrói a noção de educação ampla, acentuando seu papel importante na formação da cidadania democrática e mostrando, simultaneamente, sua indispensabilidade para a conquista progressiva da dignidade humana.

Vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 that induce mucosal immunity capable of preventing infection and disease remain urgently needed. In this study, we demonstrate the efficacy of Bordetella colonization factor A (BcfA), a novel bacteria-derived protein adjuvant, in SARS-CoV-2 spike-based prime-pull immunizations. We show that i.m. priming of mice with an aluminum hydroxide– and BcfA-adjuvanted spike subunit vaccine, followed by a BcfA-adjuvanted mucosal booster, generated Th17-polarized CD4+ tissue-resident memory T cells and neutralizing Abs. Immunization with this heterologous vaccine prevented weight loss following challenge with mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 (MA10) and reduced viral replication in the respiratory tract. Histopathology showed a strong leukocyte and polymorphonuclear cell infiltrate without epithelial damage in mice immunized with BcfA-containing vaccines. Importantly, neutralizing Abs and tissue-resident memory T cells were maintained until 3 mo postbooster. Viral load in the nose of mice challenged with the MA10 virus at this time point was significantly reduced compared with naive challenged mice and mice immunized with an aluminum hydroxide–adjuvanted vaccine. We show that vaccines adjuvanted with alum and BcfA, delivered through a heterologous prime-pull regimen, provide sustained protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Efferocytosis is a phagocytic process by which apoptotic cells are cleared by professional and nonprofessional phagocytic cells. In tumors, efferocytosis of apoptotic cancer cells by tumor-associated macrophages prevents Ag presentation and suppresses the host immune response against the tumor. Therefore, reactivating the immune response by blockade of tumor-associated macrophage–mediated efferocytosis is an attractive strategy for cancer immunotherapy. Even though several methods have been developed to monitor efferocytosis, an automated and high-throughput quantitative assay should offer highly desirable advantages for drug discovery. In this study, we describe a real-time efferocytosis assay with an imaging system for live-cell analysis. Using this assay, we successfully discovered potent anti-MerTK Abs that block tumor-associated macrophage–mediated efferocytosis in mice. Furthermore, we used primary human and cynomolgus monkey macrophages to identify and characterize anti-MerTK Abs for potential clinical development. By studying the phagocytic activities of different types of macrophages, we demonstrated that our efferocytosis assay is robust for screening and characterization of drug candidates that inhibit unwanted efferocytosis. Moreover, our assay is also applicable to investigating the kinetics and molecular mechanisms of efferocytosis/phagocytosis.
