Authors: Álvarez Gil Francisco J.
Published: May 2024

Este libro aborda el estudio del género textual en relación con los mecanismos interpersonales que influyen en la elaboración del significado en los textos. Destaca la importancia del desarrollo de conceptos como género, tipo de texto y registro, explorando su evolución tanto en investigaciones contemporáneas como en estudios históricos. Se examinan distintas perspectivas sobre el concepto de género textual y se explora la relación entre género y tema, así como la distinción entre el potencial genérico y el genérico real. Además, se analizan los tipos de texto y su clasificación según criterios lingüísticos y organizativos. El libro también investiga el registro, entendido como el contexto situacional de un evento comunicativo, y su influencia en las elecciones lingüísticas. Se destacan las variables de campo, modo y tenor, y su relación con las funciones ideacional, interpersonal y textual del lenguaje. Se enfatiza el aspecto interpersonal del significado en los textos, especialmente en cómo influye en las decisiones lingüísticas durante la comunicación. Se examinan estrategias como la evaluación, la expresión de perspectiva y la empatía del autor hacia el lector. El volumen propone el estudio de tres géneros textuales: panfletos sobre brujería en el siglo XVIII, discursos de guerra de Winston Churchill durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y marcadores metadiscursivos en tesis doctorales españolas redactadas en inglés. Cada análisis se centra en la estructura, los elementos lingüísticos y las estrategias comunicativas específicas de cada género. Este libro pretende contribuir a la comprensión sobre cómo los mecanismos interpersonales y los géneros textuales interactúan para dar forma al significado en los textos, con implicaciones en campos como la enseñanza de la escritura, la comunicación profesional y el análisis de textos académicos.
Reliability of power output, maximal rate of capillary blood lactate accumulation, and phosphagen contribution time following 15‐s sprint cycling in amateur cyclists
Authors: Meixner Benedikt , Nusser Valentin , Koehler Karsten , Sablain Mattice , Boone Jan , Sperlich Billy
Published: May 2024

Based on Mader's mathematical model, the rate of capillary blood lactate concentration (νLamax) following intense exercise is thought to reflect the maximal glycolytic rate. We aimed to investigate the reliability of important variables of Mader's model (i.e. power output, lactate accumulation, predominant phosphagen contribution time frames (tPCr)) and resulting νLamax values derived during and after a 15‐s cycling sprint. Fifty cyclists performed a 15‐s all‐out sprint test on a Cyclus2 ergometer three times. The first sprint test was considered a familiarization trial. Capillary blood was sampled before and every minute (for 8 min) after the sprint to determine νLamax. Test–retest analysis between T2 and T3 revealed excellent reliability for power output (Pmean and Ppeak; ICC = 0.99, 0.99), ∆La and νLamax with tPCr of 3.5 s (ICC = 0.91, 0.91). νLamax calculated with tPCr = tPpeak (ICC = 0.87) and tPCr = tPpeak–3.5% (ICC = 0.79) revealed good reliability. tPpeak and tPpeak–3.5% revealed only poor and moderate reliability (ICC = 0.41, 0.52). Power output and ∆La are reliable parameters in the context of this test. Depending on tPCr, reliability of νLamax varies considerably with tPCr of 3.5 s showing excellent reliability. We recommend standardization of this type of testing especially tPCr.

Local Cultures of Advice Tie Formation
Authors: Roth Philip , Scheidgen Katharina
Published: May 2024

Informal social networks and especially advice networks are a key subject of organizational sociological research. The formation of these networks has so far been explained on the basis of universal tie-formation mechanisms. However, recent conceptual contributions suggest that tie formation practices follow cultural rules that may vary across social contexts. In our paper, we substantiate this argument empirically. Based on rich qualitative data, we compare advice tie formation (a) between two entrepreneurial communities and (b) between three research and development departments of large enterprises. We show that both impact and configuration of tie formation mechanisms systematically differ between comparable contexts. Building on our findings, we finally formulate propositions describing which advice network structures can be expected in specific cultures.

Published: May 2024

Objectives

Increased fetal lung heterogeneity has been associated with term fetal lungs in singleton gestations. The objective of this study was to determine if fetal lung heterogeneity index (HI) differs between twin and singleton fetuses in the late second and third trimesters.

Methods

Prospective cohort study of women with singleton and twin gestations with medically-indicated ultrasound examinations at 24 weeks of gestation onward. Grayscale transverse fetal lung images were obtained at the level of the four-chamber heart. A region of interest was selected in each fetal lung image. Fetal lung HI was determined with MATLAB software using a dithering technique with ultrasound image pixels transformed into a binary map form from which a dynamic range value was determined. HI averages and standard deviations were generated for twin and singleton fetuses from 24 weeks gestation onward. Two sample t-tests were used to compare the mean HI at each gestational week between singleton and twin fetuses.

Results

In total, 388 singleton and 478 twin images were analyzed. From 35 through 38 weeks of gestation a statistically significant divergence in mean HI was observed with higher means in singleton compared to twin fetuses. At 24 weeks of gestation there was a significantly higher HI in twin fetuses compared to singletons. No differences in fetal lung HI were observed between 25 and 34 weeks gestational age.

Conclusions

Differences in fetal lung HI were observed when comparing twin and singleton fetuses. Further investigation is required to determine the potential clinical significance of these findings.
Comparison of individual playing styles in football
Authors: Guan Tianyu , Sarkar Sumit , Swartz Tim B.
Published: May 2024

This paper attempts to identify football players who have a similar style to a player of interest. Playing style is not adequately quantified with traditional statistics, and therefore style statistics are created using tracking data. Tracking data allow us to monitor players throughout a match, and therefore include both “on-the-ball” and “off-the-ball” observations. Having developed style features, tractable discrepancy measures are introduced that are based on Kullback–Leibler divergence in the context of multivariate normal distributions. Examples are provided where a pool of players from the Chinese Super League are identified as having a playing style that is similar to players of interest.

Authors: Kumar Sudhir , Singh Inderjeet , Ali Alamry , Bharti Shalok , Koloor Seyed Saeid Rahimian , Siebert Geralt
Published: May 2024

In the last few decades, tremendous effort is given to the production of various polymers and polymeric composites components through innovative polymer processing techniques. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) of polymers as a printing technique in additive manufacturing has been explored extensively due to its cost-effectiveness, manufacturing capabilities, flexibility in material selection, and dimensional accuracy. A few reviews of the literature have been done to investigate various applications for polymers, but none have focused on the research on commercial and in-house generated polymers and polymeric composites, particularly those made using the FDM printing technology. Consequently, the study data on the internal development of polymer and polymeric composite filament-based FDM printing is gathered and processed in this work. The work also highlights various types of polymeric composites and recycled polymeric composites with their detailed material characteristics. In addition, various applications of FDM printing of polymeric composites at the industrial scale and domestic level usage are highlighted as the potential to reduce carbon emission through the effective recycling process.

Authors: Rizvi Huria , Ashish
Published: May 2024

Eco-friendly, biodegradable, microbially produced surfactants, known as biosurfactants, have been intensively studied for their ability as potential substitutes for their synthetic counterparts. Currently, the commercialization of biosurfactants compared to synthetic (chemical) surfactants remains an economic challenge due to high production costs and lower yields. This review details the challenges and better strategies for industrial scale-up of biosurfactant production and downstream processing techniques. An analysis of the use of low cost, renewable substrates, parameter optimization, strain improvement, bioreactor engineering is discussed. The role of various engineering factors that help in scale-up of biosurfactant production such as drag coefficient, Reynolds number, Enrichment ratio, Eӧtvӧs number have also been considered in this review article. The review article demonstrates the potential activity of integrated separation processes and applications of biosurfactants, bringing biosurfactants into mainstream commercialization.

Ulam type stability analysis for generalized proportional fractional differential equations
Authors: Hristova S. , Abbas M.I.
Published: May 2024

The main aim of the current paper is to be appropriately defined several types of Ulam stability for non-linear fractional differential equation with generalized proportional fractional derivative of Riemann-Liouville type. In the new definitions, the initial values of the solutions of the given equation and the corresponding inequality could not coincide but they have to be closed enough. Some sufficient conditions for three types of Ulam stability for the studied equations are obtained, namely Ulam-Hyers stability, Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability and generalized Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability. Some of them are applied to a fractional generalization of a biological model.

Published: May 2024

Purpose: This article shows the results of the Cytogenetics Laboratory of the Health Research Institute (INISA) to develop a dose-effect calibration curve with the Calyculin-A chemical induction premature condensation assay to estimate high doses of X-ray exposure. Methods: to create the calibration curve, peripheral blood samples from two participants (one female and one male) were exposed to X-rays at six different dose points ranging from 0 to 17.5 Gy in vitro. The irradiated blood was cultured for 48 hours according to international protocols, and the resulting chromosome rings were recorded. We used BioDoseTools software to calculate the coefficients for the calibration curve. Results: The coefficients of the curve are α: 0.028±0.001 and C: 0.001±0.001. These coefficients have similar values to those reported internationally. The curve was validated by calculating an unknown dose exposed to 6 Gy; the estimated dose was 5.651 ± 0.636 Gy, with no statistically significant differences between the dose delivered and the estimated dose. Conclusions: The INISA Biological Dosimetry Service can use the curve obtained to assess absorbed doses in cases of suspected overexposure to high X-ray doses.

The review analyzes the existing tools for monitoring the dynamics of thermal fi elds when exposing the soft tissues to low temperatures. Features of contact and non-contact temperature measurements have been considered, their capabilities and limitations have been noted. There was substantiated the need to develop the procedures of intra-operative temperature control. Special attention has been paid to the non-contact non-invasive infrared thermography. This method has been shown to be applied for intra-operative monitoring of the movement of the ice lump edge on the surface of tissues, detection of a disordered thermal symmetry of the ice spot, thermal fi eld dynamics on the surface of tissues inside and outside the area of the operative zone. However, thermal imaging control of the dynamics of the primary necrosis zone and the ice ball edge in the volume of tissues is possible only under certain parameters of cryoimpact, for example, with a short-term cooling of tissues with a quasi-point nitrogen cryoapplicator. The possibility of using thermography at other stages of cryosurgery is also considered, i. e. as the method of additional diagnosis at the stage of surgery planning, as well as during the post-surgery period to control healing, scarring, etc.

The research covers the specific effect of human umbilical cord cryoextract and the culture medium of its mesenchymal stromal cells in comparison with synthetic hyaluronic acid on the skin regeneration in female rats with simulated aging. The specified substances were administered intradermally to ovariectomized animals. The injection of human umbilical cord cryoextract into animals with a model of skin aging was established to restore the skin structure already 2 weeks after the injections. Thickening of the epidermis and dermis, phenomenon of cell proliferation, and an increased number of collagen fibers as well as blood vessels were observed. Four weeks after the last injection, the skin condition was normalized to the level of intact animals. Administration of the culture medium of mesenchymal stromal cells of the umbilical cord also led to an increased number of collagen fibers, cell proliferation, contouring of skin layers, but had a less pronounced effect compared to the injections of cryoextract on the indices of the dermis and epidermis thickness. Injections of synthetic hyaluronic acid led to "rejuvenation" of the upper layers of skin and had a less pronounced manifestation compared to the effect of human umbilical cord derivatives.

Mikrotyki – migawki codzienności. Realizm i refleksyjność opowiadań Pawła Sołtysa (zarys tematyki)
Authors: Paszek-Grześkiewicz Karolina
Published: May 2024

Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie wartości artystycznych i poznawczych Mikrotyków, a także określenie charakteru definiujących codzienność przestrzeni – przeszłości i teraźniejszości. Spiętrzenie wspomnień, do których autor wraca w swoich mikroobrazach, stwarza metafizyczną płaszczyznę do przeżywania i doświadczania na nowo tego, co dawno pokryło się patyną. Niekonwencjonalność formy, bazująca na dysharmonii warstw tematycznej i językowej, implikuje potrzebę odpowiedzenia na pytania dotyczące konceptualnego i interpretacyjnego znaczenia tego zabiegu. Jako współczesny reprezentant polskiej prozy Paweł Sołtys proponuje refleksyjną odmianę realizmu, skonstruowaną, podobnie jak codzienność, na bazie wielu sprzeczności i „nieuzgodnień”. Choć skupione wokół mikrobiografii i mikrozdarzeń opowieści Sołtysa należą do utworów otwartych, ich potencjał refleksyjno-interpretacyjny nie zanika wraz z zakończeniem lektury.

Przyjrzano się im, uwzględniając niezbędne elementy: kto?, kogo?, na co?, kiedy?, gdzie? zaprasza. Przeprowadzona analiza pozwala na sformułowanie następujących wniosków. Osoby redagujące zaproszenia nie odmieniają nazwisk adresatów (tylko 10% ankietowanych poprawnie je odmieniło, np. Karolinę i Sebastiana Makuchów). Ponad 40% respondentów zapisało niepoprawnie skrót pod wezwaniem, co oznacza, że poprawnie zapisano go w dwudziestu kilku zaproszeniach (w kościele pw. Chrystusa Króla). Duży kłopot sprawiła redagującym poprawna pisownia nazw obiektów sakralnych. Tylko 55% badanych pamiętało, że w nazwach własnych dużą literą piszemy właściwą nazwę własną (np. w kościele pw. Świętej Katarzyny Aleksandryjskiej w Tyczynie). Piszącym zaproszenia trudność sprawia także poprawny zapis nazw lokali gastronomicznych czy hoteli. Mogą one stanowić część zarejestrowanej nazwy własnej, wówczas zastosujemy zapis wielką literą, ale mogą być tylko określeniem, np. w restauracji Ranczo w Pstrągowej. Na przestrzeni 30 lat znacznie wzbogacona została szata graficzna zaproszeń, ale jednocześnie zauważono tendencję do skrótowości.

ABSTRACT Objective: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between non-compliance with dietary and fluid restriction, body mass index, and the severity of fatigue in dialysis patients. Method: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted on 42 dialysis patients. The data were collected employing a “General Information Form”, Body Mass Index, “Fatigue Severity Scale”, and “Dialysis Diet and Fluid Non-Adherence Questionnaire.”. Data were evaluated using percentages, averages, one-way ANOVA, T-tests, and Pearson correlation tests. Results: The average number of days when the patients did not comply with their diet was 3.69 ± 4.85, and the average number of days when they did not comply with fluid restriction was 2.71 ± 5.02. The age and marital status of the patients were found to affect the fatigue severity. It was found that the cases were associated with creatinine and calcium values and the number of days they did not comply with fluid restriction. Conclusion: It was determined that there was no significant relationship between non-compliance with diet and fluid restriction and the severity of fatigue. It was found that the severity of fatigue was lower in patients who complied with diet and fluid restriction, although not significantly lower than in those who did not comply.

Abstract Chromosomal patterns are valuable tools in evolutionary approaches. Despite the remarkable expansion of fish cytogenetic data, they are still highly deficient concerning deep oceanic species, including the Gempylidae snake mackerels. The snake mackerels are important commercial species composed by meso- and bento-pelagic predators with very limited information available about their lifestyle and genetics patterns. This study presents the first chromosomal data of two circumglobal species of this family, Ruvettus pretiosus and Promethichthys prometheus, from the São Pedro and São Paulo Archipelago. Conventional analyses, chromosomal staining with base-specific fluorochromes, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for mapping of repetitive DNA classes were used. Both species have 2n = 48 chromosomes, but they highly differ regarding the karyotype formula (FN = 50 and FN = 84). The 18S rDNA/Ag-NOR and the 5S rDNA sites have a syntenic bi-telomeric array in R. pretiosus, but an independent distribution in P. prometheus. The transposable elements are dispersed, while the microsatellites are also clustered in the centromeric and terminal regions of some chromosomes. It is noteworthy that despite the 2n conservation, a marked macro and microstructural diversifications, mainly mediated by pericentric inversions, differentiates the karyotypes of the species, pointing to a particular chromosomal trajectory of the gempylids among marine fish.
Queer Sewing as a Way of Life: resistances to neoconservatisms of race and gender
Authors: Miranda Shirley Aparecida de , Silva Jaime Peixoto da
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT This article brings out strategies for confronting neoconservatisms of gender and race through what is here called queer sewing. Based on the narrative patches produced in doctoral research, the relationship between clothes and the norm is discussed. The concepts of ancestry and intersectionality are mobilized to problematize the remodeling of the self in the confrontation with cisheteronorm and normative whiteness. It was noticed that queer sewing can be seen as a strategic way of life, as it highlights a certain work on oneself on the part of the subject that speaks of an ethical way of existing in the world, a process in which not only clothes were pro-duced, but, mainly, a form of existence.
Congenital Zika virus syndrome: the role of primary health care and healthcare network

Published: May 2024

Abstract The article aims to understand the care network and the challenges that children with congenital Zika virus syndrome (CZS) and their caregivers face to ensure comprehensive care. This is a qualitative study, part of research carried out at the Hospital das Clínicas of the Federal University of Pernambuco, which followed 151 children suspected of having CZS. Two focus groups were carried out, one with health workers and the other with caregivers. Children with CZS travel long distances, attending various network services. Difficulty in conducting and recognizing the role of the PHC reference team was observed, resulting in fractional care, with obstacles to communication between services and lack of attention to caregivers. A fragile network was perceived, with fragmented meetings and a reduced look. It is fundamental that the efforts prioritize the strengthening of the bond between the nodes of the care and support network. The essential and derivative attributes of PHC are crucial for the network of services and the provision of care for children with CZS and their families.

Resumo Este trabalho analisa as ações e parcerias estabelecidas entre os integrantes das Secretarias Estaduais de Saúde e da Assistência Social do Rio de Janeiro e outras organizações da área da saúde e assistência para atender à emergência sanitária desencadeada pela síndrome congênita do vírus Zika entre os anos de 2015 e 2018. O contexto caracterizava-se por acentuada crise econômica, erosão da capacidade de governança das autoridades políticas no estado, e reduzido conhecimento técnico-científico sobre a epidemia. Além de análise de documentos relativos ao tema, foram feitas 17 entrevistas com gestores e profissionais das duas secretarias. Roteiros semiestruturados focalizaram ações intersetoriais e processos de cooperação e coordenação inter e intraorganizacional. A grade analítica contemplou aspectos dos papéis interpessoais, informacionais e de tomada de decisão dos gestores e técnicos. Os resultados mostram que, apesar da crise política e econômica, os atores das secretarias conseguiram criar um fluxo de atenção aos pacientes. Observou-se que mecanismos informais de cooperação e coordenação foram fundamentais para a criação de estratégias intersetoriais de longo prazo.
“Cuidados redobrados com a criança”? Reflexões sobre a ciência do vírus Zika (Recife-PE)
Authors: Valim Thais , Fleischer Soraya
Published: May 2024

Resumo Em 2015, o Brasil foi palco de um evento que despertou a atenção global: a epidemia do vírus da Zika. Esse patógeno chegou aos trópicos trazendo consigo uma novidade para a literatura médica do Zika: o nascimento de crianças com alterações no desenvolvimento fetal oriundas da transmissão vertical do vírus para os fetos. O fenômeno, que foi enquadrado como uma emergência em saúde, passou a ser amplamente estudado e inúmeras pesquisas foram desenvolvidas com as crianças nascidas com alterações associadas ao vírus Zika. Este artigo analisa um conjunto de entrevistas conduzidas em 2022 com cientistas que estiveram diretamente envolvidas na resposta a essa epidemia na Região Metropolitana de Recife. Como as pesquisas foram majoritariamente realizadas com crianças, refletimos, aqui, como essa característica atravessou o fazer científico das pesquisadoras envolvidas. O objetivo principal é promover discussões mais amplas sobre o ato de fazer pesquisa em termos de urgência, direcionando questões acerca das relações científicas, sobretudo entre pesquisadores e participantes (as pesquisadoras do Zika e as crianças diagnosticadas com a síndrome). Um segundo objetivo é pensar como a Antropologia da Criança pode encontrar um terreno fértil de diálogo com outras áreas que se debruçam sobre crianças e as infâncias.
Zika vaccine: development, assemblages, and sociotechnical controversies
Authors: Silva Lenir Nascimento da , Dias Francine de Souza
Published: May 2024

Abstract The theoretical essay discusses the controversies about the zika vaccine development, highlighting negotiations which involve technical-scientific choices and the effects of defining the Vaccine Target Product Profile (TPP) for use only in the emergency scenario. Three perspectives of analysis are presented aligned with the Social Studies of Science: the flows of normative establishment provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), the narratives published in specialized journals and the discuss of a group of interviewees. We conclude that the definition terms of TPP supported the establishment of the WHO ontological policy, implying in exposure, accountability and culpability of women for the prevention of Congenital Zika Syndrome; definition of certain vaccination strategies; making other possible scenarios invisible; greater acceptance of certain platforms; widening global inequalities. Such an ontological policy engendered a potent emergency rationality that distinguished the vaccine from the social need for vaccination, pushing the second one towards invisibility.
