Published: May 2024

Triarylmethanes are low cost synthetic dyes with intense absorption in the visible spectrum. This make it attractive to explore their suitability as sensitizer for dye sensitized solar cell. Using malachite green as a lead dye, we made intuitive structural modifications: incorporation of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid as acceptor/anchor, and substituting one or the two N, N-diethylaniline donors with N-propyl-1,6dimethyllutidine(s). The three resulting triarylmethane-coumarin structures were subjected to DFT calculations to investigate their suitability as sensitizers for DSSC applications. The calculation results showed that triarylmethane-coumarins with cationic type chromophores are unsuitable as DSSC sensitizer. The acceptor/anchor, coumarin-3-carboxylic acid, is basically excluded in the intramolecular charge transfer processes of the cationic dyes. Also, the LUMO levels of the cationic dyes are below the conduction band of TiO2, which is energetically uphill to electron injection into TiO2. Ultimately, the cationic triarylmethane-coumarin derivatives are unsuitable as sensitizer for DSSC. However, a charge-free triarylmethane-coumarin derivative shows promise as a sensitizer candidate for DSSC application.

A new SARS-CoV-2 virus and its variants including omicron created a pandemic situation and caused more deaths in worldwide prompted many researchers to explore potential drug candidates. In this connection, we explored the first-of-its-kind report on computational studies such as molecular docking, and ADMET properties of Zn(II) complexes. The studies revealed the novel zinc complexes have high binding affinities with the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein (6vxx) alpha variant (7EKF), beta variant (7ekg), gamma variant (7EKC), delta variant (7V8B), and the omicron variant (7T9J). Molecular docking results of RMSD for SARS-CoV-2 beta variant (7ekg) and gamma variant (7EKC) are within excellent chemical stability in their protein-ligand complex state and should be effective in the biological system. ADME studies provided the better results with no adverse effect of toxicity related AMES along with absence of hepatotoxicity and skin sensitization when compared to Molnupiravir drug and it has a greater hepatotoxicity. This study could open further exploration of these novel zinc complexes for SARS-CoV-2 inhibition.

Este estudo, teve como objetivo investigar os fatores que influenciam a qualidade de vida dos pacientes com Diabetes Mellitus tipo II, incluindo aspectos médicos, psicossociais e socioeconômicos, a fim de identificar estratégias eficazes para melhorar sua qualidade de vida e bem-estar geral. Este estudo consiste em uma revisão narrativa realizada por meio de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. A busca bibliográfica dos artigos primários foi conduzida no período de abril a maio de 2023, utilizando as bases de dados LILACS (Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde) e SCIELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online). Os resultados desta pesquisa revelaram uma série de fatores que exercem influência significativa na qualidade de vida dos pacientes com Diabetes Mellitus tipo II. Em relação aos aspectos médicos, observou-se que o controle glicêmico adequado desempenha um papel fundamental na qualidade de vida desses pacientes. Aqueles que conseguiram manter níveis de glicose no sangue dentro das faixas recomendadas relataram uma melhor qualidade de vida em comparação com aqueles com controle glicêmico inadequado. Além disso, a presença de complicações relacionadas ao diabetes, como neuropatia periférica e retinopatia, mostrou-se fortemente associada a uma diminuição na qualidade de vida, destacando a importância da prevenção e do tratamento precoce dessas condições.

Published: May 2024

Introdução: A ausência de dentes pode prejudicar a autoestima de uma pessoa, o que pode resultar em baixa confiança, sofrimento emocional e ansiedade social. Não há dúvida de que os implantes dentários são hoje a solução mais indicada para mitigar o problema de perda dentária. Objetivo: apresentar, através de uma revisão de literatura, qual é a relação entre o estudo clínico de levantamento de seio e a instalação de implantes curtos como a alternativa para esta técnica cirúrgica, levando em consideração tempo de cirurgia, pós-operatório, sucesso dos implantes e qualidade protética. Metodologia: Os critérios de seleção dos artigos que compuseram este trabalho seguiram aos critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Seguindo os critérios de inclusão foram selecionados os artigos disponíveis na língua portuguesa, inglesa e espanhola, que abordavam sobre as técnicas de levantamento de seio para instalação de implantes longos em relação à instalação de implantes curtos sem a necessidade de enxertos ósseos. Foram considerados também artigos que foram publicados entre os anos de 2010 a 2020. Considerações finais: Foi possível observar que o apresente artigo apresenta fortes e eminências que sugerem o uso de implantes curtos ainda que em áreas de má qualidade óssea e para pacientes que por algum motivo não podem ser submetidos a procedimentos cirúrgicos bucais complexos.

Published: May 2024

As Infecções Relacionadas à Assistência à Saúde constituem um grave problema de saúde pública, sendo as Infecções de Sítio Cirúrgico à terceira complicação pós-operatória mais comum. No Brasil, representa cerca de 17% das infecções em pacientes submetidos aos procedimentos cirúrgicos. Nos países desenvolvidos, pode afetar em média 1/3 dos casos cirúrgicos em todo mundo. Em sua maioria, são considerados como danos indesejáveis à assistência à Saúde, de causa prevenível. Objetivo: analisar na literatura científica as estratégias de prevenção e controle de Infecção de sítio Cirúrgico realizadas pela equipe de enfermagem nos hospitais. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa conforme as diretrizes delineadas pelo Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. A série temporal foi de 2018 a 2023 com identificação de 1.761 publicações. Após aplicabilidade dos critérios de elegibilidade, consolidaram-se 14 artigos e 7 diretrizes nacionais e internacionais para análise. Diversos estudos destacam a atuação do enfermeiro na condução das ações de prevenção de ISC, seja executando o processo de enfermagem seja direcionando intervenções necessárias de acordo problemas reais ou potenciais apresentados pelos pacientes. Percebeu-se que, a adaptação e implementação de protocolos, bundles, checklist e educação em saúde são estratégias fundamentais para padronizar e qualificar a assistência da equipe de enfermagem prestada aos pacientes cirúrgicos, além de minimizar e reduzir os índices de ISC. Sendo assim, é necessário fortalecer a pesquisa e o desenvolvimento de investimentos contínuos em novas tecnologias, materiais e abordagens cirúrgicas que reduzam o risco de ISC.

Authors: Onsoi Witchuwan , Numsriskulrat Nattakarn , Aroonparkmongkol Suphab , Supornsilchai Vichit , Srilanchakon Khomsak
Published: May 2024

Background: Kisspeptin and delta-like 1 homolog (DLK1) are neuropeptides that reportedly play an important role in pubertal timing by activating and inhibiting the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, respectively. Consequently, serum kisspeptin and DLK1 levels may be novel biomarkers for differentiating between central precocious puberty (CPP) and premature thelarche (PT) in girls and used to monitor CPP treatment.Purpose: To compare baseline serum kisspeptin and DLK1 levels in girls with CPP at diagnosis and after treatment to age-matched girls with PT. Methods: This prospective longitudinal study included girls with precocious puberty and girls with PT who experienced breast development before 8 years of age and peak luteinizing hormone levels of ≥6 versus <6 IU/L after a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation test. Serum kisspeptin and DLK1 levels were determined in both groups at baseline and after 6 months of GnRH analog treatment in the CPP group and analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results: The study divided a total of 48 girls into CPP (n=24; mean age, 7.7±0.7 years) and PT (n=24; mean age, 7.4±0.8 years) groups. The baseline median serum kisspeptin levels were 50.5 pg/mL (range, 38.2–77 pg/mL) and 49.5 pg/mL (range, 39.7–67.6 pg/mL), respectively (P=0.89), while the baseline median serum DLK1 levels were 6.5 ng/mL (range, 5.9–7.5 ng/mL) and 6 ng/mL (4.4–14.4 ng/mL), respectively (P=0.68). After 6 months of GnRH analog treatment in the CPP group, the median serum kisspeptin level was lower (46.4 ng/mL; range, 37.1–60 ng/mL) than that at baseline (P=0.002), while the median serum DLK1 level was higher (7 ng/mL; range, 6.7–8.9) than that at baseline (P=0.002).Conclusion: Our findings suggest that baseline serum kisspeptin and DLK1 levels are not reliable biomarkers for differentiating between CPP and PT. However, significant changes in serum kisspeptin and DLK1 levels may be used to monitor CPP treatment.

Atlantic herring Clupea harengus feeding in the Norwegian Sea are assumed to consist of Norwegian spring spawners (NSSH), Icelandic summer spawners (ISSH) and North Sea autumn spawners (NSAH). Putative Norwegian autumn spawners (NASH), Faroese autumn (FASH) and spring (FSSH) spawners also feed in the area. However, until there is a method to discriminate between populations in mixed samples, fishery and survey data from the Norwegian Sea will be solely attributed to the predominating NSSH, ultimately causing biased stock assessments. Hence, we evaluated if a panel of 120 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with spawning characteristics and salinity preferences would be an effective discrimination tool. The overall observed levels of genetic differentiation were high (FST = 0.57, p <0.001, 95% CI: 0.51-0.62). Spawners from stocks under current management (NSSH, NSAH and ISSH) were well separated, but the putative populations were not. Discriminant analysis of principal component as well as Structure runs confirmed the differentiation observed with FST. When the SNP panels were tested on commercial fishery samples of NSSH east of Iceland, up to 16% were assigned to ISSH. This implies that catch data are seriously biased and demonstrates the potential of SNP panels as a tool to solve the problem. However, work is needed to develop improved SNP panels that effectively separate the putative populations from the managed stocks. We recommend that such a tool should be established in regular sampling of fishery and surveys in the Norwegian Sea and accounted for in future stock assessments, advice and management.

Ingrid Olderock and Her Torturing Dogs: On Commanders
Authors: Montero Sebastián Alejandro González
Published: May 2024

This article examines an episode of Chilean history during the days of the dictatorship of General Pinochet: Ingrid Olderock’s life and her criminal actions against people such as Alejandra Holzapfel and others. I use a secular framework for ethical evaluations of human behaviour related to armed conflicts in Latin America. In that context, I engage the following steps. First, I describe Ingrid Olderock’s life, briefly summarising some facts about her educational and political environment based on Nancy Guzman’s Ingrid Olderock: The Madame of the Torture Dogs. This description is complemented by chronicles recently published by Alejandra Matus. Second, I suggest that the ‘commander’ concept (a concept arising within the ethical distinction between active and reactive actions by Gilles Deleuze) helps to assess the case at hand. Finally, I follow the main idea that human activities can be determined without having a transcendent system of values – an idea traditionally linked with Spinoza’s and Nietzsche’s viewpoints, as declared by Deleuze.
Go Nomadism, Evolutionary Computation and Natural Selection: A Reply to Jay Lampert
Authors: Bennett Michael
Published: May 2024

In response to a 2023 article by Jay Lampert in Deleuze and Guattari Studies, this paper develops the question of what Deleuze and Guattari might make of AlphaGo, the artificial intelligence developed by Google which defeated one of the top human Go players in 2016. It approaches the question in a way that supplements and complements Lampert’s analysis, by noting the well-worn analogy between computer programming and evolutionary biology and then cross-referencing it with Deleuze and Guattari’s attitude towards the latter in A Thousand Plateaus. The results reinforce Lampert’s conclusion that AlphaGo is not ‘nomadic’, but they show that this is precisely because AlphaGo’s algorithms are reminiscent of Darwin’s mechanism of natural selection.

Published: May 2024

Post-pandemic economic recovery focuses on developing the tourism sector through revitalizing tourist objects and developing tourism-based MSMEs. This can be seen by the proliferation of MSMEs by sharing superior products. On the one hand, tourism development has a positive impact by increasing regional income, especially through foreign tourist visits. But on the other hand this policy can have a negative impact on the preservation of regional languages. Therefore tourism development policies must be balanced with regional language maintenance policies. This problem can be overcome with policies to use regional languages or local terms as tourism product brands. The use of local brands for tourism products can be a means of maintaining local languages. This study aims to analyze various languages or local terms used by tourism business actors in various tourism products as a form of language conservation. The use of qualitative descriptive methods with observation, interviews and documentation techniques to identify various tourism products that use local terms as brands, brands or labels in their marketing. In addition, the background and meaning of the various local terms are also traced to obtain comprehensive data. From several districts and cities in North Maluku, many business actors and tourism managers choose to use local terms as brands or product brands because of the philosophy or story telling in these local terms.

Published: May 2024

The aim of this paper is to analyze how fiscal policy can affect per capita economic growth. Therefore, an extension of the model by Araujo and Lima (2007) was made, by considering the public sector taxation and public expenses. Our findings corroborate the fact that positive public savings relieve the external constraint. We demonstrate that sectoral public spending growth rate and sectoral public taxes growth rate can affects economic growth. Still, it shows that the rate of economic growth is sensitive to the sectoral composition of public spending and taxation. Finally, a computer simulation is presented.
Causa Lógica na Macroeconomia de J. M. Keynes
Authors: Cintra Freitas Signates César , Cezar Dutra Fonseca Pedro
Published: May 2024

Este trabalho tem como propósito contribuir para o debate filosófico em Keynes ao conectar uma das teorias lógicas probabilísticas desenvolvidas no A Treatise on Probability (Keynes, 1921) com sua teoria econômica desenvolvida no General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (Keynes, 1936). Em específico, interpretamos a demanda efetiva como ‘efeito’ da lei da propensão marginal a consumir (Keynes, 1936) com base na teoria do conhecimento causal nomológico contida nas Notas da Parte III do Treatise on Probability (Keynes, 1921). Para isso, exploramos alguns aspectos da teoria do conhecimento em probabilidade lógica a fim de alcançarmos o conhecimento causal nomológico presente nas Notas da Parte III. Posteriormente, interpretamos a lei da propensão marginal a consumir como uma das ‘causas nomológicas’ da demanda efetiva ao reorganizar o argumento econômico keynesiano com base em sua teoria lógica da probabilidade.
Desigualdade de Renda no Brasil entre 2019 e 2022: evolução da massa de rendimentos e decomposição do coeficiente de Gini com base na PNAD contínua
Authors: Trovão Cassiano José Bezerra Marques , Pitombo Leite Fabrício , Bacelar de Araújo Juliana
Published: May 2024

A desigualdade de renda no Brasil de 2019 a 2022 apresentou um comportamento errático. De 2019 para 2020, a desigualdade caiu. De 2020 para 2021, subiu. E, de 2021 para 2022, voltou a cair. Para entender esse comportamento e investigar quais foram os fatores que contribuíram para isso, foram explorados os dados da PNAD Contínua por meio de duas abordagens: 1) evolução da massa de rendimentos segundo as distintas fontes de renda e da estratificação decílica das pessoas baseada no rendimento domiciliar efetivo per capita; e 2) decomposição do coeficiente de Gini, bem como de sua variação ano a ano, segundo fontes de renda. As estimativas revelam a importância dos programas sociais (Bolsa Família e Auxílio Emergencial) para explicar a desigualdade de renda no país entre 2019 e 2021, e dos rendimentos do trabalho para explicar o que ocorreu em 2022.

Authors: Silveira Côrtes Larissa , Riani Juliana , Resende Marco Flavio Cunha
Published: May 2024

Conforme diagnóstico do governo brasileiro, a insuficiência de investimentos em saneamento no país só poderá ser suprida com a abertura desse mercado para a iniciativa privada. Na ótica Pós-Keynesiana, o investimento privado depende da confiança empresarial em uma expectativa otimista quanto ao seu retorno. Nesta perspectiva, as expectativas são formadas com base em convenções, definidas como crenças compartilhadas. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar se a nova lei do saneamento, Lei nº 14.026/2020, ao instituir mudanças no setor poderá fazer emergir uma convenção que contribua para estimular o investimento privado em saneamento no país. Constata-se que, embora se constitua sólida base para a mudança de convenção, a nova lei do saneamento, sem o apoio de outras medidas analisadas neste artigo, não é suficiente para estimular o investimento privado a ponto de suprir a lacuna de investimento em saneamento no país.

When studying bird intra- and inter-specific interactions it is crucial to accurately track which individual emits which vocalization. However, locating sounds of free moving birds (and other animals) in nature can be challenging, especially in situations when many individuals call in spatial and temporal vicinity.

In this paper, we will introduce the use of a hand-held acoustic camera which allows solving this problem. The system comprises 64 microphones each sampling a wide angle at a rate of 200kHz. The system can localize up to dozens of nearby callers and it displays them on a visual image. We applied the system to localize and record vocalizations of Arabian babblers (Argya squamiceps) during snake-mobbing behavior to demonstrate its potential. As the recorded babblers are ringed and therefore identifiable, we could use the calling order to analyze the vocalizing mob and to reconstruct a vocal social network depicting which individuals call after which individuals.

Results

Acoustic analysis revealed that Arabian babblers call in a periodic pattern and with age specific pause lengths between different individuals. Mobbing events with young babblers display a lower vocal network density compared to only adult groups.

Discussion

Our approach demonstrates how this novel technology can be applied to reveal new insight about vocal events in group living wild animals. The approach can be elaborated to study intra- and inter-specific animal vocalizations.

This study investigates on the impact of basalt fiber reinforcement concrete in protected building and structures. Basalt fibers, derived from the melting of basalt rock at temperatures ranging from 1,500 to 1700°C, are recognized as sustainable and environmentally friendly fiber materials. Various studies have revealed differing optimal percentages of basalt fibers for enhancing the mechanical and chemical properties of concrete. The objectives of this paper are to investigate the effects of basalt fibre reinforcement on mechanical properties like tensile, compressive, and bending strengths. Additionally, performance indicators like void content, water absorption, chloride ion permeability, alkali and slag resistance, temperature stability, shrinkage characteristics, and abrasion resistance will be evaluated. Basalt fibre is typically utilised to increase the mechanical properties and durability of concrete, which has an impact in the effect on protected buildings and structures. The findings indicate that the most effective percentage range for improving mechanical properties lies between 0.1% and 0.3% of basalt fibers. Notably, concrete reinforced with basalt fibers demonstrates superior mechanical and chemical performance in alkaline environments compared to other fiber types. Moreover, the addition of 0.5% basalt fibers to concrete has been shown to significantly reduce chloride ion penetration, as evidenced by a decrease in RCPT load from 2,500 (C) to 1900 (C), indicative of enhanced chloride resistance. Reinforced concrete containing basalt fibers exhibits remarkable temperature resistance, withstanding temperatures exceeding 800°C due to its high-water absorption capacity. Additionally, basalt fibers exhibit resilience at temperatures up to 200°C. However, it is noted that the introduction of 0.14% basalt fibers leads to a slight increase in water absorption from 4.08 to 4.28. In general, basalt fibres are beneficial to many aspects of concrete; they strengthen resistance to temperature, alkali, acid exposure, and chloride while also improving mechanical qualities such as bending and tensile strength. The development of basalt fibres that extend building lifespans and improve concrete quality for structural engineering applications is making encouraging strides, according to all the results.

The growing understanding of the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in embryo-maternal communication has sparked considerable interest in their therapeutic potential within assisted reproductive technology, particularly in enhancing implantation success. However, the major obstacle remains the large-scale production of EVs, and there is still a gap in understanding how different culture systems affect the characteristics of the EVs. In the current study, trophoblast analogue human chorionic carcinoma cell line was cultivated in both conventional monolayer culture (2D) and as spheroids in suspension culture (3D) and how the cell growth environment affects the physical, biochemical and cellular signalling properties of EVs produced by them was studied. Interestingly, the 3D system was more active in secreting EVs compared to the 2D system, while no significant differences were observed in terms of morphology, size, and classical EV protein marker expression between EVs derived from the two culture systems. There were substantial differences in the proteomic cargo profile and cellular signalling potency of EVs derived from the two culture systems. Notably, 2D EVs were more potent in inducing a cellular response in endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) compared to 3D EVs. Therefore, it is essential to recognize that the biological activity of EVs depends not only on the cell of origin but also on the cellular microenvironment of the parent cell. In conclusion, caution is warranted when selecting an EV production platform, especially for assessing the functional and therapeutic potential of EVs through in vitro studies.

Naphtha, as the primary raw material in the production of light olefins, could well accommodate their increasing demand through the energy-efficient process of catalytic cracking with ZSM-5. In the current work, different amounts of lanthanum and phosphorous were loaded on ZSM-5 using the wet impregnation method to tune the acidic properties of ZSM-5 for selective catalytic cracking of n-hexane to produce light olefins. Various characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Al nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), temperature-programmed desorption of NH3 (NH3-TPD), Py-Fourier transform infra-red (Py-FTIR), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), N2 adsorption–desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy were adopted to investigate the modified zeolites. It was found that adding La to ZSM-5 (0.25 wt% to 1 wt%) improved the catalytic life and increased the n-hexane conversion (to 99.7%), while the further addition had a negative impact, reducing the conversion rate and deviating the product selectivity towards a substantial, undesired benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) fraction (33%). On the other hand, a 64% selectivity for light olefins was achieved on phosphorous-doped ZSM-5 (at a loading amount of 1 wt%) while reducing the BTX fraction (2.3%) and converting 69% of the n-hexane. A dual metal-modified ZSM-5 with optimal loading amount, 1P0.25LaZ5 (phosphorus 1 wt% and La 0.25 wt%), helped boost the light olefin selectivity to 62% in the tuned Lewis acid sites at an n-hexane conversion of about 77% while decreasing the undesired BTX selectivity to 3% by reducing the number of Brønsted sites. Thus, the current study reveals that tuning the acidic sites of ZMS-5 by dual metal augmentation with P.La is an effective way of controlling the amount of undesirable BTX produced at a stable n-hexane conversion rate and substantial olefin selectivity.

Floods are major hazard in Mzuzu City, Malawi. This study applied geospatial and hydrological modeling techniques to map flood incidences and hazard in the city. Multi-sensor [Sentinel 1, Sentinel 2, and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)] Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) datasets were used to determine the spatio-temporal variation of flood inundation. Ground control points collected using a participatory GIS mapping approach were used to validate the identified flood hazard areas. A Binary Logistic Regression (BLR) model was used to determine and predict the spatial variation of flood hazard as a function of selected environmental factors. The Hydrologic Engineering Center's Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) was used to quantify the peak flow and runoff contribution needed for flood in the city. The runoff and peak flow from the HEC-HMS model were subjected to extreme value frequency analysis using the Gumbel Distribution approach before input into the Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System (RAS) (HEC-RAS). The HEC-RAS model was then applied to map flood inundated areas producing flood extents maps for 100, 50, 20, and 10-year return periods, with rain-gauge and Climate Prediction Center MORPHed precipitation (CMORPH) satellite-based rainfall inputs. Results revealed that selected MODIS and Sentinel datasets were effective in delineating the spatial distribution of flood events. Distance from the river network and urban drainage are the most significant factors (p < 0.05) influencing flooding. Consequently, a relatively higher flood hazard probability and/susceptibility was noted in the south-eastern and western-most regions of the study area. The HEC-HMS model calibration (validation) showed satisfactory performance metrics of 0.7 (0.6) and similarly, the HEC-RAS model significantly performed satisfactorily as well (p < 0.05). We conclude that bias corrected satellite rainfall estimates and hydrological modeling tools can be used for flood inundation simulation especially in areas with scarce or poorly designed rain gauges such as Mzuzu City as well as those affected by climate change. These findings have important implications in informing and/updating designs of flood early warning systems and impacts mitigation plans and strategies in developing cities such as Mzuzu.
Expert insights into future trajectories: assessing cost reductions and scalability of carbon dioxide removal technologies

Published: May 2024

Introduction

To achieve net-zero targets, it is essential to evaluate and model the costs and scalability of emerging carbon dioxide removal technologies like direct air capture with CO2 storage (DACCS) and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). Yet such efforts are often impeded by varying assessments of the climate impact and potential contributions of these technologies. This study explores the future costs and scalability of DACCS and BECCS to advance net-zero goals.

Methods

We analyze expert opinions on these technologies’ potential costs and deployment scales for 2030, 2040, and 2050. Data was collected from 34 experts, comprising 21 DACCS and 13 BECCS specialists. They provided 90% confidence interval estimates and ‘best estimates’ for future costs and deployment under two International Energy Agency (IEA) policy scenarios—Stated Policies (STEPS) and Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE).

Results

We find that BECCS costs start at a lower level but decrease more slowly, whereas DACCS costs decline more steeply from a higher initial cost. However, DACCS estimates varied significantly among experts, showing no convergence over time. Regarding potential scalability, both technologies are associated with substantially higher deployment under the NZE scenario. Yet the combined estimated capacity of DACCS and BECCS by 2050 is only about a quarter of the CO2 removals projected by the IEA for its NZE scenario (1.9 GtCO2).

Discussion

This study provides valuable insights into the future of DACCS and BECCS technologies in Europe, especially since our experts expect that DACCS and BECCS costs will be even higher (and deployment scales lower) than those predicted by recent IEA tracking, opening future research directions.
The cognitive roots of multimodal symbolic forms with an analysis of multimodality in movies
Authors: Wildgen Wolfgang
Published: May 2024

Condillac’s (1754) “Traité des sensations” is the philosophical background of modern discussions on the relationship between perception and multimodal communication. The differences between perception and communication and the transitions between them are discussed with a focus on odor and color. It becomes clear that even at this primary level, the complex interactions of different modalities are the precondition for effective and rich communication. The second part discusses Cassirer’s “Philosophy of Symbolic Forms” as a relevant framework for multimodality studies. Basic aspects are first commented on with a focus on music and visual art. The interaction is even more complex and rich in the case of language; the difficulty of large symbolic forms is mainly due to semantic composition and only to a lesser degree to syntactic concatenation. The first must merge/blend different semantic spaces. It must allow for the plurality of levels of integration from the lexical level, the level of phrases and sentences, up to texts and discourse. The third part focuses on multimodality in film. It treats the representation of movement and action in (film) narratives, the visual perception and representation/communication of movement and action, and the integration of music, moving images, and language.
