Aldiminium and 1,2,3-triazolium dithiocarboxylate zwitterions derived from cyclic (alkyl)(amino) and mesoionic carbenes
Authors: Touj Nedra , Mazars François , Zaragoza Guillermo , Delaude Lionel
Published: December 2023

The synthesis of zwitterionic dithiocarboxylate adducts was achieved by deprotonating various aldiminium or 1,2,3-triazolium salts with a strong base, followed by the nucleophilic addition of the in situ-generated cyclic (alkyl)(amino) or mesoionic carbenes (CAACs or MICs) onto carbon disulfide. Nine novel compounds were isolated and fully characterized by 1H and 13C NMR, FTIR, and HRMS techniques. Moreover, the molecular structures of two CAAC·CS2 and two MIC·CS2 betaines were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The analytical data recorded for all these adducts were compared with those reported previously for related NHC·CS2 betaines derived from imidazolinium or (benz)imidazolium salts. Due to the absence of electronic communication between the CS2 unit and the orthogonal heterocycle, all the CAAC·CS2, MIC·CS2, and NHC·CS2 zwitterions displayed similar electronic properties and featured the same bite angle. Yet, their steric properties are liable to ample modifications by varying the exact nature of their cationic heterocycle and its substituents.

The pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Notodontidae) species complex: a phylogeny-based revision

Published: December 2023

The pine processionary moth, Thaumetopoea pityocampa, is an iconic insect in the Mediterranean culture because of its economic and medical importance and the unique traits of the life history, namely the winter feeding and the construction of conspicuous silk tents by the larvae. Its taxonomic status, however, is unclear because the type material is not available and there is confusion among the several species and subspecies described in the last centuries. In the present study, a metadata analysis of morphological and molecular data of the species in the T. pityocampa complex were considered for species delimitation, using more than 400 individuals from more than 120 geographic locations. A reconstruction of the origin of the material used for the first formal description has allowed to identify the type locality and to design a neotype. In addition, as Denis and Schiffermüller were referring to the work of Réaumur for details about the species, the description provided by Réaumur was reviewed. The results indicate that the barcode region of mitochondrial DNA is a reliable trait to separate species in most cases whereas morphological traits are not. Hybridization among taxa makes it difficult to delimit species in contact zones when mating barriers are not present. In other cases, such as the populations of Crete Island, the lack of gene flow with the mainland population may support species delimitation even when morphological traits are not conclusive. Thus, the new species Thaumetopoea cretensis is described here based on the evidence obtained from a previous study. Species delimitation based on both mitochondrial and nuclear markers allowed maintenance of three species of the complex (T. cretensis, T. pityocampa, and T. wilkinsoni) while more data are needed to determine the status of two recently described species: T. hellenica and T. mediterranea.
Assessment of the DNA barcode libraries for the study of the poorly-known rove beetle (Staphylinidae) fauna of West Siberia

Published: December 2023

Staphylinidae, or rove beetles, are one of the mega-diverse and abundant families of the ground-living terrestrial arthropods that is taxonomically poorly known even in the regions adjacent to Europe where the fauna has been investigated for the longest time. Since DNA barcoding is a tool to accelerate biodiversity research, here we explored if the currently-available COI barcode libraries are representative enough for the study of rove beetles of West Siberia. This is a vast region adjacent to Europe with poorly-known fauna of rove beetles and from where not a single DNA barcode has hitherto been produced for Staphylinidae. First, we investigated the faunal similarity between the rove beetle faunas of the climatically compatible West Siberia in Asia, Fennoscandia in Europe and Canada and Alaska in North America. Second, we investigated barcodes available for Staphylinidae from the latter two regions in BOLD and GenBank, the world's largest DNA barcode libraries. We conclude that the rather different rove beetle faunas of Fennoscandia, on the one hand and Canada and Alaska on the other hand, are well covered in both barcode libraries that complement each other. We also find that even without any barcodes originating from specimens collected in West Siberia, this coverage is helpful for the study of rove beetles there due to the significant number of widespread species shared between West Siberia and Fennoscandia and due to the even larger number of shared genera amongst all three investigated regions. For the first time, we compiled a literature-based checklist for 726 species of the West Siberian Staphylinidae supplemented by their occurrence dataset submitted to GBIF. Our script written for mining unique (i.e. not redundant) barcodes for a given geographic area across global libraries is made available here and can be adopted for any other regions.
Design and Evaluation using Technology Acceptance Model of an Architecture Conceptualization Framework System based on the ISO/IEC/IEEE 42020
Authors: Santos Valdicélio , Soares Michel S.
Published: December 2023

Among the difficulties in developing software-intensive systems are the necessity of managing and controlling data that must be held for decades, as well as describing the needs and concerns of a variety of stakeholders. Therefore, one cannot neglect a good Software Engineering practice which is to develop software-intensive systems based on solid software architecture. However, the processes related to the software architecture of software-intensive systems are often considered only from a low level of abstraction. A recent architectural Standard, the ISO/IEC/IEEE 42020, defines 6 clauses for the architecture process, among them the Architecture Conceptual-ization process is the subject of this study. Considering that the ISO/IEC/IEEE 42020 has only recently been published, given the importance of establishing a well-defined software architecture, and considering the difficulties of understanding an architectural Standard, this work proposes a framework, and then the design and further evaluation of a web-based application to support soft-ware architects in using the activities and tasks of the Architecture Conceptualization clause based on the framework described. The ArchConcept was designed to address the high-level abstraction of the Standard ISO/IEC/IEEE 42020 and can be useful for software architects who want to follow ISO/IEC/IEEE 42020’s recommendation and achieve high-quality results in their work of software architecture conceptualization. A qualitative evaluation employing a questionnaire was carried out to obtain information about the perceptions of professionals regarding the ArchConcept, according to the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). As ArchConcept is focused on activities of Archi-tecture Conceptualization, which is one of the early stages of a software project, the results found could be evidence of the short time dedicated to the initial phases of projects and their consequences.regarding the ArchConcept, according to the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).

OntoFoCE and ObE Forensics. Email-traceability supporting tools for digital forensics
Authors: Parra de Gallo Herminia Beatriz , Vegetti Marcela
Published: December 2023

This paper shows the research conducted to respond to a continuous requirement of justice regarding the application of scientifically supported forensic tools. Considering ontological engineering as the appropriate framework to respond to this requirement, the article presents OntoFoCE (Spanish abbreviation for Ontology for Electronic Mail Forensics), a specific ontology for the forensic analysis of emails. The purpose of this ontology is to help the computer expert in the validation of an email presented as judicial evidence. OntoFoCE is the fundamental component of the ObE Forensics (Ontology-based Email Forensics) tool. Although there are numerous forensic tools to analyze emails, the originality of the one proposed here lies in the implementation of semantic technologies to represent the traceability of the email transmission process. From that point on, it is possible to provide answers to the items of digital evidence subject to the expert examination. These answers make it possible to support these evidence items in the forensic analysis of an email and to guarantee the gathering of scientifically and technically accepted results that are valid for justice. Thus, the research question that is tried to be answered is: Is it possible to apply ontological engineering as a scientific support to design and develop a forensic tool that allows automatic answers to the evidence items subject to the expert examination in the forensic analysis of emails? 
Hybrid Classification Model for Emotion Prediction from EEG Signals: A Comparative Study
Authors: Bardak F. Kebire , Seyman M. Nuri , Temurtaş Feyzullah
Published: December 2023

This paper introduces a novel hybrid algorithm for emotion classification based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The proposed hybrid model consists of two layers: the first layer includes three parallel adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS), and the second layer called the adaptive network comprises various models such as radial basis function neural network (RBFNN), probabilistic neural network (PNN), and ANFIS. It is examined that the feature distribution graphs of the dataset, which includes three emotion classes: positive, negative, and neutral, and selected the most appropriate features for classification. The three parallel ANFIS structures were trained using the selected features as input vectors, and the outputs of these models were combined to obtain a new feature vector. This feature vector was then used as the input to the adaptive network, which produced the output of emotion prediction. In addition, it is evaluated the accuracy of the network trained using only the first features of the dataset. The hybrid structure was designed to enhance the system's performance, and the best accuracy result of 96.51% was achieved using the ANFIS-ANFIS model. Overall, this study provides a promising approach for emotion classification based on EEG signals. 
Middle Cenomanian coral fauna from the Roßsteinalmen (Northern Calcareous Alps, Bavaria, Southern Germany) – a revised and extended version
Authors: Löser Hannes , Werner Winfried , Darga Robert
Published: December 2023

In the Northern Calcareous Alps, relics of a formerly widely distributed shallow marine facies belonging to the Branderfleck Formation (upper Albian to lower Turonian) crop out and contain locally abundant corals. The fauna described here derives from Middle Cenomanian sediments. This study complements a former revision. In total, the fauna includes 98 species in 46 genera, belonging to 16 scleractinian superfamilies and two octocorallian families. One species – Enallhelia octasepta – is described as new. The fauna that was formerly located at the northern part of the Apulian plate (Austroalpine unit), south of the Penninic Ocean, shows palaeobiogeographic relationships to Cenomanian faunas from the Basque-Cantabrian Basin, the Prebetic zone, the Pelagonium, and the Quillan Basin, indicating stronger connections to Tethyan rather than Boreal faunas. The fauna also shares species with Aptian and Albian, but also with Late Cretaceous faunas of the Gosau Basin. Eight genera experienced a range extension; five genera have their last occurrence in the Middle Cenomanian fauna, and three genera have their first occurrence. Although the fauna presents numerous genera that became widespread in the Late Cretaceous, its generic composition is more closely related to late Early Cretaceous corals than to post-Cenomanian corals. The faunal turnover at the Cenomanian/Turonian boundary was not marked by the sudden appearance of new faunal elements, but rather by the disappearance of taxa. Some faunal elements that constitute post-Cenomanian faunas already existed in the Cenomanian, but they were very rare. The increase of taxa after the Cenomanian/Turonian boundary took place during the Coniacian and Santonian.

Published: December 2023

Using of metal matrix composite coating is a promising approach for improving the surface properties of a component against the mechanical and environmental attacks especially wear and corrosion. Laser cladding (LC), also known as direct energy deposition (DED), is an additive manufacturing (AM) technique, able to perform coating, repair worn parts, manufacturing and prototyping. In this work, pure Al and a mixture of multi-ceramic Al-15SiC-15Al2O3 coatings were successfully deposited on Al-based substrate. The quality of the deposited clads was evaluated according to macro-graphic, microstructure, and microhardness characteristics. The microscopic inspection of the multi-ceramic coatings showed a slight dilution of SiC particles. Also, XRD investigation revealed a formation of Al4C3 carbide. Besides SiC and Al2O3 hard phases, this yielded an increase in matrix microhardness about 180% (from 75 to 212 Hv0.05) as compared to pure Al clads, indicating a great improvement in the mechanical properties of the composite cladded coating.

Published: December 2023

Tissue engineering has focused on the development of biomaterials, modulating the morphological and electrochemical characteristics based on their final application. In this setting, the purpose of the present study was to determine the physicochemical response of electrospun membranes of silk fibroin extracted from sericulture wastes and their functionalization with choline based bio-ionic liquids. A comparative study of their response was carried out with membranes obtained from the same protein but functionalized with gold nanoparticles. The biomaterials developed were characterized by UV-Visible spectrophotometry, FTIR spectroscopy, electron microscopy (SEM and FESEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and Linear sweep voltammetry. The results obtained showed a fibrillar morphology and the conduction of electrical stimuli by the membranes functionalized with the gold nanoparticles or the bio-ionic liquids, where for the latter the response is modulated by the concentration used in the development of the biocomposite.

The electropolishing can be used to finishing high purity components of SUS 316L to make them shine and without leaving residual stress, micro-cracks, etc. In the research, the electropolishing process parameters are selected, such as current density, degree of vacuum and polishing time to conduct the electropolishing experiment. The experimental results show that the bubbles attached to the surface of the work-piece in the vacuum state are reduced, thereby improving the surface roughness and surface pitting. The vacuum status in the process can improve the electropolishing process.

Published: December 2023

Subungual growths are frequently encountered in paediatric dermatological practice. Majority of them are viral warts. Here we report a case of subungual exostosis (SE) in a 7-year-old boy for its rarity and usually the diagnosis is delayed in most cases.
Dermoscopic patterns of nevus sebaceous – captured at different stages of evolution
Authors: Thanushah B. , Thamilvannan N. , Prashanth S.
Published: December 2023

The nevus sebaceous (NS) is a hamartoma of the skin and its adnexa pertaining to the group of organoid nevi. NS presents at birth and grows proportionally with the growth of the child. During adulthood, secondary neoplasms may arise from NS. Though the diagnosis of NS is mainly clinical, dermoscopy can be used as a diagnostic aid. Dermoscopy characteristically shows yellow globules, white, grey lobules arranged in clusters in a yellow background in a NS during childhood. Dermoscopic assessment will assist in diagnosis; and also, in assessing and monitoring the evolution of NS. It is also helpful in detecting malignant transformation of NS early, to arrange timely surgical excision in dermatological practice especially in resource poor setting.

Published: December 2023

Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is an uncommon papulosquamous disorder, first described in 1835 by Claudia’s Tarral1 which is characterized by the presence of follicular papules on an erythematous base and orange-red plaques with islands of sparing. Six main types of PRP are described with classic adult being the most commonly seen variant. PRP can be associated with infections, autoimmunity, malignancies, drugs, etc. However, most cases are idiopathic.
Pre tibial myxedema associated with hypothyroid Hashimioto’s thyroiditis
Authors: Liyanage D.H. , Rajapaksa A.
Published: December 2023

Pretibial myxedema (PTM) is an infiltrative dermopathy due to accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in the dermis and sub cutis. It is commonly associated with Grave’s disease. However, it is infrequently associated with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and primary hypothyroidism. It often presents as an asymptomatic diffuse non pitting edema, nodule or plaque involving both pretibial areas. Pretibial myxedema may undergo partial or complete remission and is primarily a cosmetic concern for the patient. Apart from treatment of the primary thyroid abnormality, topical or intralesional steroids remain the mainstay of treatment. We report a case of a 72-year-old lady who presented with non pitting edema on both legs. Her thyroid function tests were suggestive of hypothyroidism and thyroid auto antibody profile, ultrasonography and fine needle aspiration cytology favored Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Histopathology of the pretibial skin was in consistent with pretibial myxedema. A paradox of pretibial myxedema in a patient with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a rare clinical entity.
Knowledge, attitudes, perceptions and challenges of teenagers with visual disabilities regarding physical fitness and exercise
Authors: Jayasekara J. M. I. H. , Weeraratne C. L.
Published: December 2023

Physical fitness in teenagers with visual disabilities has not been researched adequately in Sri Lanka and internationally leading to lack of awareness in this regard by healthcare providers. This hinders the designing and implementation of physical fitness programs for them. This article explores the knowledge and attitudes of teenagers with visual disabilities on physical fitness and exercise, the types of exercises they prefer, accessibility and barriers they have for physical activities. This descriptive cross-sectional survey of 55 teenagers with visual disabilities was conducted using an interviewer-administered questionnaire at the School for the Blind and Deaf, Dowa, Badulla. The survey found that they had inadequate knowledge about physical fitness; 81.8% had some knowledge with significant gaps while 18.2% had no knowledge. Everyone had positive attitudes regarding physical fitness and exercise. The majority preferred walking (35.95%), aerobic exercises (35.95%) and running (28.10%) rather than gym exercises and team sports (0%). Accessible exercises were walking, running, and aerobic exercises. Common barriers for them to engage in exercises were the lack of dedicated places to exercise with individuals with similar disabilities (92.7%), lack of adapted exercise equipment (100%), lack of learn-to-exercise programs (100%) and not knowing about suitable exercises (100%). The survey found that visually disabled teenagers had gaps in knowledge and attitudes regarding physical fitness and exercise. Programs should be developed and implemented at school level to improve their knowledge about physical fitness and suitable exercises. Such programs should address the identified issues while improving accessibility of exercises and removing identified barriers.

As lesões dentárias traumáticas são uma urgência odontológica comum, sendo a fratura coronorradicular considerada relativamente rara, representando 2,5% dos casos de traumatismos dentários. Na dentição decídua, a prevalência do traumatismo dental é de 22,7%. O presente caso clínico relata o caso de uma criança de três anos de idade que compareceu à Clínica de Odontopediatria com fratura coronorradicular no dente 61 ausente de tratamento por dois anos. Clinicamente, observa-se a falta da coroa do dente 61 e a presença de um pólipo pulpar com coágulo sanguíneo em sua superfície. O exame radiográfico foi realizado apenas dois anos após o primeiro trauma, foi constatada a presença de reabsorção radicular extensa, não fisiológica e a impossibilidade de reabilitação estético-funcional fixa, indicando a necessidade de extração do fragmento radicular. Realizou-se a extração do fragmento e acompanhamento após a intervenção. Apesar da paciente apresentar inexistência de alterações clínicas no dente permanente, o trauma dentário deve ser diagnosticado e tratado de forma imediata, pois sabe-se que um bom prognóstico está diretamente relacionado com o tempo entre a ocorrência do trauma e a intervenção odontológica.

No (solo) es erotismo, es violación. La mujer desnuda y la crítica:
Authors: GUILHEM Nadège
Published: December 2023

En este artículo nos proponemos construir puentes entre la academia y el militantismo, insistiendo en la actualización de las prácticas académicas en base a las luchas feministas actuales por más justicia (epistémica). A partir de una disputa que tuvo lugar en Francia en el 2017 sobre la pertinencia del uso del término «violación» para caracterizar una relación sexual en una obra de Chénier, pretendemos demostrar la necesidad de una lectura política (feminista) desde la academia. Con esta intención, procedemos a un análisis novedoso la obra La mujer desnuda (1950; 1967) de la escritora uruguaya Armonía Somers centrado en la violación conyugal. Los numerosos estudios sobre esta obra han sido enfocados al análisis del erotismo, dejando de lado lo que constituye uno de los mayores tabúes de la sociedad cisheteropatriarcal occidental. Al centrar nuestro trabajo en esta temática no solo pretendemos completar y complejizar las lecturas que se han hecho hasta ahora sino también hacerle justicia al discurso político de Somers que – como la mayoría de las escritoras del mismo periodo – ha sido mayormente silenciado. A lo largo del artículo, nos preguntamos por qué los trabajos – incluso feministas – han obviado la temática de la violación conyugal. Para ello, en un principio cotejamos la definición de la violación con un fragmento de la nouvelle antes de proceder a su análisis para justificar el uso del término «violación» y mostrar cómo Somers trata esta temática. Finalmente, ampliando el foco proponemos varias hipótesis sobre las razones por las que se ha obviado esta temática. Estas hipótesis nos llevan a pensar las relaciones de poder que sustentan el campo literario y el campo académico.
Militancias del feminismo popular en el teatro de la región del Noroeste Argentino (2015-2020)
Authors: Rosenzvaig Marina
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo analiza militancias del feminismo popular extendidas en el teatro de la región del Noroeste Argentino entre los años 2015 a 2020, en el contexto masivo de movilizaciones en contra de la violencia de género del NiUna Menos y las luchas por el aborto legal, seguro y gratuito. Las militancias son un ejercicio de participación y organización colectiva en cuya politización el pueblo empoderado toma conciencia de la necesidad de actuar para revertir la situación de desigualdad social (Selci, 2018). En este período se desarrolló una potente multiplicación de militancias feministas populares en por lo menos tresdimensiones de acción teatral: 1. Performance de las manifestaciones, 2. Gestiones institucionales en teatro (públicas e independientes) y 3. Representación de obras teatrales. Si bien este escrito da cuenta de la primera dimensión señalada, se detiene especialmente en la segunda dimensión, vinculando militancias institucionales y militancias del teatro independiente.
Tradición y academicismo en la Lleida de finales del siglo XVIII:
Authors: Puig Sanchis Isidro
Published: December 2023

Con este trabajo pretendemos dar a conocer y reivindicar a uno de los maestros de obras, o arquitectos, más destacados de la Lleida de la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII e inicios del XIX. No es, precisamente, del que conservamos más obras documentadas, o templos proyectados, pero tiene la particularidad de haber propuesto al municipio la creación de una Escuela de Matemáticas, con la intención de instruir a los maestros, albañiles y peones, así como de mejorar la praxis arquitectónica de la ciudad. Esta iniciativa llega en un momento en que ni en Lleida, ni en los alrededores, había arquitectos académicos y, supuestamente, los maestros de obras carecían de ese tipo de formación, como se constatará en los reiterados rechazos de los proyectos presentados a la Academia de Madrid, aunque en el fondo subyace la voluntad de imponer un nuevo gusto artístico alejado de la superficialidad y exageración del barroco.
Sobre el gesto χεῖρ’ ἐπί καρπῶ en la cultura visual etrusca y falisca.
Authors: Vendrell Cabanillas David
Published: December 2023

Hacia la primera mitad del siglo VI a.C., la cultura visual etrusca se apropia de un gesto de origen egipcio pero característico del arte griego llamado χεῖρ’ ἐπί καρπῶ (agarrar la muñeca) y, a lo largo de los siglos venideros es, en algunas ocasiones, adaptado y reinterpretado otorgándole, de esta manera, un significado semántico distinto al original. Así pues, una vez introducidas ciertas cuestiones generales sobre el gesto en cuestión, el objetivo del presente estudio es, por un lado, presentar un breve recorrido de los ejemplos visuales etruscos y, también, faliscos, más característicos en los que está presente dicho ademán y, por otro lado, exponer las múltiples lecturas que adquiere según la narrativa visual, a pesar de que, entre ellas, podemos anticipar que la mayoritaria es aquella que toma una dimensión funeraria.
