Published: December 2022

Biomimetic machines that can convert mechanical actuation to adaptive coloration in a manner analogous to cephalopods have found widespread applications at various length scales. At the nanoscale, a transmutable nanomachine with adaptive colors that can sense and mediate cellular or intracellular interactions is highly desirable. Here, we report the design of a DNA framework nanomachine (DFN) that can autonomously change shape in response to pH variations in single synaptic vesicles, which, in turn, displays adaptive fluorescent colors with a mechano-fluorescence actuation mechanism. To construct a DFN, we used a tetrahedral DNA nanostructure as the framework to incorporate an embedded pH-responsive, i-motif sequence tagged with a Förster resonance energy transfer pair and an affinity cholesterol moiety targeting vesicular membranes. We found that endocytosed DFNs are individually trapped in single endocytic vesicles in living synaptic cells due to the size-exclusion effect. The adaptive fluorescence coloration of DFNs enabled single-vesicle quantification of resting pH values in a processive manner, allowing long-term tracking of the exocytosis and fusion dynamics in intracellular processes and cell-cell communications.

Severe azathioprine-induced liver injury 22 months after initiation of treatment
Authors: Cataletti Giovanni , Santagata Fabrizio , Pastorelli Luca , Battezzati Pier Maria
Published: December 2022

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is the leading cause of acute liver failure in high-income countries. Acute cholestasis is one of the most common forms of hepatotoxicity induced by azathioprine. It usually begins during the first year of treatment, with most cases reported during the first month. We describe an uncommon case of DILI that occurred after 22 months of drug administration. A woman in her 50s was hospitalised because of jaundice and asthenia. She had been treated with azathioprine for myasthenia gravis during the last 2 years. Acute cholestatic injury was diagnosed. After ruling out most common causes of cholestasis, azathioprine was withdrawn and subsequent histological findings in liver biopsy were consistent with drug-induced cholestatic liver damage. After discontinuation of azathioprine, biochemical parameters progressively normalised and remarkable clinical improvement was achieved. With this report, we suggest that azathioprine should be considered among the causes of liver injury, despite long treatment duration.
Retrieval barriers in individual participant data reviews with network meta-analysis

Published: December 2022

Objectives

Individual participant data (IPD) from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) can be used in network meta-analysis (NMA) to underpin patient care and are the best analyses to support the development of guidelines about the use of healthcare interventions for a specific condition. However, barriers to IPD retrieval pose a major threat. The aim of this study was to present barriers we encountered during retrieval of IPD from RCTs in two published systematic reviews with IPD-NMA.

Methods

We evaluated retrieval of IPD from RCTs for IPD-NMA in Alzheimer’s dementia and type 1 diabetes. We requested IPD from authors, industry sponsors and data repositories, and recorded IPD retrieval, reasons for IPD unavailability, and retrieval challenges.

Results

In total, we identified 108 RCTs: 78 industry sponsored, 11 publicly sponsored and 19 with no funding information. After failing to obtain IPD from any trial authors, we requested it from industry sponsors. Seven of the 17 industry sponsors shared IPD for 12 950 participants (59%) through proprietary-specific data sharing platforms from 26 RCTs (33%). We found that lack of RCT identifiers (eg, National Clinical Trial number) and unclear data ownership were major challenges in IPD retrieval. Incomplete information in retrieved datasets was another important problem that led to exclusion of RCTs from the NMA. There were also practical challenges in obtaining IPD from or analysing it within platforms, and additional costs were incurred in accessing IPD this way.

Conclusions

We found no clear evidence of retrieval bias (where IPD availability was linked to trial findings) in either IPD-NMA, but because retrieval bias could impact NMA findings, subsequent decision-making and guideline development, this should be considered when assessing risk of bias in IPD syntheses.
Roles and impacts of heat source/ sink and magnetic field on non-Darcy three-component Marangoni convection in a two-layer structure
Authors: Manjunatha N. , Yellamma  , Sumithra R. , Yogeesha K. M. , Kumar Rajesh , Kumar R. Naveen
Published: December 2022

In this study, the non-Darcy Three-Component Marangoni (NDTCM) convection issue is investigated in closed form using a non-Darcy model for the porous layer with constant heat source/ sink (HSS) and uniform vertical magnetic field in a two-layer system with a porous layer under a fluid layer. This two-layer construction has a rigid and adiabatic lower enclosure for the porous layer and a free adiabatic/ isothermal upper enclosure for the liquid layer. The thermal Marangoni numbers (TMNs) for lower rigid and upper free boundaries with surface tension, depending on both temperature and concentrations, are determined in closed form for two cases of temperature boundary conditions (TBCs), Case (i) Adiabatic–Adiabatic and Case (ii) Adiabatic–Isothermal. The ordinary differential equations are solved by an exact method of solution to attain an analytical expression for the Marangoni number. The impacts of applicable factors are discussed elaborately versus thermal ratio and shown graphically using MATHEMATICA. It is noticed that case (i) TBC is stable as the eigenvalue obtained is higher than that for case (ii) TBC for the fluid layer dominant (FLD) two-layer systems.
Building the Forecasting Model for Time Series Based on the Improved Fuzzy Relationship for Variation of Data
Authors: Che-Ngoc Ha , Nguyen-Huynh Luan , Nguyen-Thihong Dan , Vo-Van Tai
Published: December 2022

Forecasting for time series has always been of interest to statisticians and data scientists because it offers a lot of benefits in reality. This study proposes the fuzzy time series model which can both interpolate historical data, and forecast effectively for the future with the important contributions. First, we build the universal set based on the percentage of the original data variation, and divide it to clusters with the suitable number by the developed automatic algorithm. Next, the new fuzzy relationship between each element in series and the obtained clusters is established. The bigger the variation is, the more the clusters are divided. Finally, combining the two above improvements, we propose the new principle to forecast for the future. The experiments on many well-known data sets, including 3003 series of M3-competition data show that the proposed model has shown the outstanding advantage in comparing to the existing ones. Because the proposed model is established by the Matlab procedure, it can apply effectively for real series.

Authors: Kocaturk Tuba , Mazza Domenico , McKinnon Malcolm , Kaljevic Sofija
Published: December 2022

This paper presents the design, development, and evaluation of
GDOM (Geelong Digital Outdoor Museum)
application that integrates intangible heritage stories into places of public significance through a 3D virtual immersive environment. The project makes an important contribution to community-centered intangible heritage, while bridging the gap between theory and practice of location-based, non-linear storytelling. Research by Design methodology has been adopted to integrate highly cross-disciplinary insights into the creation, reproduction, and evaluation of a tangible application. A web-based 360° panoramic image viewer platform has been utilised to design and curate an interactive heritage experience, by spatially linking stories (content) to specific locations. The key innovation is the location-based, non-linear and spatial storytelling inside a 3D immersive virtual space where users have the opportunity to interact with intangible heritage stories. GDOM application opened up new opportunities to connect people with intangible heritage to facilitate new forms of environmental knowing, spatial and cultural understanding, and the creation of a sense of place. An in-depth evaluation of GDOM, with both expert and non-expert user groups, confirmed the GDOM application as an effective tool to experience intangible heritage to facilitate better understanding of places compared to a physical experience of heritage in a museum. Potential context of application with immediate benefits have been reported as education and cultural tourism sectors.
An RNA World
Authors: Baulcombe David C.
Published: December 2022

My research career started with an ambition to work out how genes are regulated in plants. I tried out various experimental systems—artichoke tissue culture in Edinburgh; soybean root nodules in Montreal; soybean hypocotyls in Athens, Georgia; and cereal aleurones in Cambridge—but eventually I discovered plant viruses. Viral satellite RNAs were my first interest, but I then explored transgenic and natural disease resistance and was led by curiosity into topics beyond virology, including RNA silencing, epigenetics, and more recently, genome evolution. On the way, I have learned about approaches to research, finding tractable systems, and taking academic research into the real world. I have always tried to consider the broader significance of our work, and my current projects address the definition of epigenetics, the arms race concept of disease resistance, and Darwin's abominable mystery.

Published: December 2022

Several peer-reviewed papers and reviews have examined the relationship between exposure to air pollution and COVID-19 spread and severity. However, many of the existing reviews on this topic do not extensively present the statistical challenges associated with this field, do not provide comprehensive guidelines for future researchers, and review only the results of a relatively small number of papers. We reviewed 139 papers, 127 of which reported a statistically significant positive association between air pollution and adverse COVID-19 health outcomes. Here, we summarize the evidence, describe the statistical challenges, and make recommendations for future research. To summarize the 139 papers with data from geographical locations around the world, we also present anopen-source data visualization tool that summarizes these studies and allows the research community to contribute evidence as new research papers are published.
Experimental Study of Sidewall Rupture of Cylindrical Lithium-Ion Batteries under Radial Nail Penetration
Authors: Chen Haodong , Kalamaras Evangelos , Abaza Ahmed , Tripathy Yashraj , Page Jason , Barai Anup
Published: December 2022

To understand the relationship of the sidewall rupture at different states of charge (SOCs) of cylindrical cells with high specific energy, this work presents the results of radial nail penetration tests of 21700-format cylindrical cells at different SOCs. The thermal runaway and sidewall rupture behaviours were characterised by key performance indicators such as temperature, mass, fire behaviour, and voltage change. In addition, released gases from a subset of tests were measured using the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The change in the internal structure of another subset of cells after the test was observed by X-ray computed tomography. The results show that the sidewall rupture still exists for tests at low SOC (< 30% SOC), but the outcome of thermal runaway and sidewall rupture is milder than those at high SOC (≥ 50% SOC). The average mass loss of cells increases with the increment of SOC. The cell casing thickness is reduced by 12.7% ± 0.3% of the fresh cell, which in combination with the reduction in the strength of the casing material at high temperatures could contribute to sidewall rupture.
Effect of Cold-Working on the Discharge Performance of Commercially Pure Aluminum and AA7050 Alloy Anodes in Primary Alkaline Aluminum-air Battery
Authors: Harchegani R. K. , Riahi A. R.
Published: December 2022

This work evaluated the performance of annealed and cold-worked commercially pure Aluminum (AA1100) and AA7050 Aluminum alloy as the Aluminum-air battery (Al-air battery) anode in a 4 mol.l−1 KOH solution. The electrochemical performance, galvanostatic discharge behavior, and microstructure of the anodes after discharge were studied. Cold-worked anodes showed a more negative corrosion potential and a lower corrosion current density compared to annealed anodes, indicating a higher electrochemical activity and an enhanced anti-corrosion behavior. In addition, the anodic efficiency and capacity density of the cold-worked anodes increased significantly compared to the annealed anode by increasing the discharge current density from 20 mA.cm−2 to 100 mA.cm−2. The results of this work indicated that cold-worked pure Al and AA7050 Al alloy has better potential as anode materials in alkaline Al-air batteries than the annealed Al anode.
Pain-related gamma band activity is dependent on the features of nociceptive stimuli: a comparison of laser and contact heat
Authors: Linde Lukas D. , Ortiz Oscar , Choles Cassandra M. , Kramer John L. K.
Published: December 2022

Despite matching pain perception between noxious laser and contact heat stimuli, we report notable differences in gamma band oscillations (GBO), measured via electroencephalography. GBOs produced following contact heat more closely resembled that of nonnoxious stimuli, while GBOs following laser stimuli were in line with previous reports. Taken together, laser and contact heat stimulation generate characteristically different responses in the brain, with only the former leading to high-frequency GBOs characteristic of painful stimuli.
Ghrelin Mitigates High-Glucose-Induced Oxidative Damage and Apoptosis in Lens Epithelial Cells
Authors: Bai Jie , Jiang Ganggang , Zhao Mengdan , Wang Shan
Published: December 2022

Oxidative stress induced by high glucose (HG) plays an important role in the mechanism of diabetic cataract. Evidence has shown that effects from oxidative stress induced damage of lens or human lens epithelial (HLE) cells. Antioxidant supplementation is a plausible strategy to avoid oxidative stress and maintain the function of lens. Ghrelin have been used in treatment of many diseases. In this study, we found that ghrelin attenuated HG-induced loss of cell viability, reduced oxidative damage, and cell apoptosis in HLE cells. Ghrelin inhibited apoptosis through the downregulation of Bax and the upregulation of Bcl-2. Our results suggest that ghrelin could be considered as a promising therapeutic intervention for diabetic cataract. We also observed rat lens transparent in cultured media and examined lens histopathological changes. The results showed that ghrelin could inhibit the histopathological injury of lenses and ultrastructural changes induced by HG. In conclusion, ghrelin may play a role in the treatment of ocular diseases involving diabetic cataract.
Cooperative Communications Based on Deep Learning Using a Recurrent Neural Network in Wireless Communication Networks

Published: December 2022

In recent years, cooperative communication (CC) technology has emerged as a hotspot for testing wireless communication networks (WCNs), and it will play an important role in the spectrum utilization of future wireless communication systems. Instead of running node transmissions at full capacity, this design will distribute available paths across multiple relay nodes to increase the overall throughput. The modeling WCNs coordination processes, as a recurrent mechanism and recommending a deep learning-based transfer choice, propose a recurrent neural network (RNN) process-based relay selection in this research article. This network is trained according to the joint receiver and transmitter outage likelihood and shared knowledge, and without the use of a model or prior data, the best relay is picked from a set of relay nodes. In this study, we make use of the RNN to do superdimensional (high-layered) processing and increase the rate of learning and also have a neural network (NN) selection testing to study the communication device, find out whether or not it can be used, find out how much the system is capable of, and look at how much energy the network needs. In these simulations, it has been shown that the RNN scheme is more effective on these targets and allows the design to keep converged over a longer period of time. We will compare the accuracy and efficiency of our RNN processed-based relay selection methods with long short-term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent units (GRU), and bidirectional long short-term memory (BLSTM),which are all acronyms for long short-term memory methods.
Study of Vertical-Axis Wind Farm Layouts Using a 2D Actuator-Cylinder RANS Model
Authors: Martinez-Ojeda Edgar , Ordaz Francisco Javier Solorio , Sen Mihir
Published: December 2022

The actuator-cylinder RANS (Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations) model was used to study the performance of two different arrays of wind turbines. The staggered array proved to be more efficient than the fish-school array (grouped in pairs) in most directions; however, the fish-school array outperformed the conventional staggered array when the pairs of turbines were facing the wind. Increases in global power coefficient up to 16% were found when the wind speed was 8 ms-1 and up to 10% when the wind speed was 10 ms-1. Despite the fish-school array being slightly less efficient, this array yielded almost twice as much power density as the staggered array in almost all directions. The current methodology proves to be a fast tool for the estimation of vertical-axis wind turbine farms compared to full RANS simulations.
Improving the Imperceptibility of Adversarial Examples Based on Weakly Perceptual Perturbation in Key Regions

Published: December 2022

Deep neural networks have been proved vulnerable to being attacked by adversarial examples, which have attracted extensive attention from researchers. Existing GAN-based object detection adversarial example generation methods are efficient in generating speed but ignore the visual imperceptibility of adversarial examples. In this paper, to improve the visual imperceptibility of adversarial examples, we propose an object detection adversarial example generation method based on weakly perceptual perturbations in key regions. First, a positioning module based on the gradient-weighted activation mapping method is designed to analyze the key region of the object from the perspective of gradient propagation and use the key region in order to limit the range and amplitude of the perturbation. Second, the deep feature of the convolutional network is introduced to constrain the content of adversarial perturbation and improve the similarity between adversarial examples and original images. Finally, a postprocessing method based on median filtering is introduced to further correct the color deviation of adversarial examples and improve imperceptibility. The experimental results for VOC datasets show that the attack success rate increased by 4%, the PSNR increased by 8.6%, and the MSE and LPIPS decreased by 92.3% and 59.5%, respectively. It demonstrates that the proposed method can significantly improve the imperceptibility of the adversarial example with a high attack success rate.
Research on Direct Drive Technology of the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor for Urban Rail Vehicles
Authors: Wang Jianpu , Ren Chenglong , Liu Zhao , Mao Mingyue
Published: December 2022

Compared with the traditional gear reduction mechanism of the asynchronous motor, the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) direct drive technology has obvious advantages and has attracted increasing attention. We analyzed the advantages of the PMSM direct drive technology and put forward the hollow shaft structure of the coupling to reduce the impact force of the wheel and rail, additional noise, vibration, and loss. We deeply studied the topology and mathematical model of the PMSM. To keep the maximum running speed unchanged, it is necessary to conduct a flux weakening control above the rated speed to increase the speed regulation range of the PMSM. To prevent frequent switching jitter at the transition point and smooth the transition between different weak magnetic fields, we designed a new flux-weakening controller to control the current. Simulation results have been presented to verify the proposed approach efficiency. Taking the PMSM system train on Suzhou Metro line 3 as an example, the on-site energy consumption test was carried out. The energy consumption of the PMSM direct drive and asynchronous motor gear mechanism was compared. The energy consumption of the PMSM direct drive is increased by 16.50%. The flexible plate coupling can alleviate the adverse effects of vibration and improve the reliability of train operation. Finally, we put forward the technical difficulties and challenges of the PMSM direct drive technology. We need to optimize the mass distribution of the direct drive bogie to improve the dynamic performance of the bogie, the heat dissipation conditions, and the accurate control of the PMSM. It will have reference value for the development of the PMSM direct drive in the future.

Authors: Araujo Gabriel Henrique Ornaghi de , Figueiredo Diogo Hilgemberg , Peserico Cecília Segabinazi
Published: December 2022

The aim of the present study was to verify the effect of eight weeks of training during the preparatory phase on performance variables for amateur Badminton players. A second aim was to monitor the internal training load (ITL) during the training period. Seven state-level amateur badminton players performed a battery of tests at pre and post eight training weeks. The following performance tests were performed: vertical jump, badminton-specific movement agility test, 5m-Multiple shuttle test (5m-MST) and Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 (Yo-Yo test). After each training session, ITLs were monitored by session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE). Although there were no statistically significant differences between pre- and post-training, it was found an increase of 5.4 ± 9.3%, 4.7 ± 10.4%, and 4.7 ± 16.7%, respectively, in the 5m-MST, vertical jump performance, and Yo-Yo test after the training period. The ITL demonstrated that the preparatory phase presented a variation (e.g., low to high) during general preparatory phase (GP) and high ITL during specific preparatory phase (SP). Therefore, eight training weeks during the preparatory phase promoted important improvements in individuals’ analysis and percent change values on vertical jump, the 5m-MST, and the Yo-Yo test, although there were no statistically significant differences. Furthermore, the ITLs varied throughout the training period.

Published: December 2022

Com o objetivo de classificar os Torcedores/Consumidores (TCs) que assistiram aos jogos da seleção brasileira de rugby e identificar qual é o ponto de conexão que liga esses TCs ao esporte, utilizou-se nesta pesquisa, respectivamente, a “Escada de Envolvimento do Torcedor” (EET) e os “conectores” que ligam o torcedor ao esporte. A pesquisa teve abordagem quantitativa, com método Survey, tendo como amostra os 198 torcedores que assistiram a 2 jogos da seleção brasileira de rugby. O questionário utilizado como instrumento desta pesquisa foi construído por meio de uma matriz de amarração entre a EET (fanáticos, conhecedores, agregados, colecionadores, gastadores, curiosos e indiferentes) e os conectores (astro, local, moeda social, família, experiência indireta, incerteza, utopia) que ligam o torcedor ao esporte. Como resultado, verificou-se que a maioria dos TCs foram classificados como “indiferentes” com grande ligação pelo conector “utopia”, alusivo aos valores da modalidade. Foi identificado também, que os respondentes não demonstraram qualquer ligação pelos “astros”, bem como os TCs classificados como “fanáticos”, independentemente dos seus conectores, não representam um número significativo na modalidade. Verificou-se ainda que há muitos torcedores classificados como “conhecedores e gastadores”, compreendidos como potenciais alvos para ações de marketing. Os torcedores que discordaram totalmente da sua ligação com o esporte pelo conector “família”, apresentaram uma linearidade negativa maior, sendo: fanático (39,90%), curioso (44,95%), conhecedor (50%) e colecionador (53,03%). Contudo, considerou-se que mesmo com o desenvolvimento nos últimos anos, o rugby ainda não possui “astros” com potencial para atrair o público aos estádios brasileiros. Assim, espera-se que as organizações esportivas deem maior importância para estratégias de marketing voltadas para melhorar o relacionamento com os seus TCs.

Published: December 2022

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar os correlatos da não participação nas aulas de Educação Física (EFI) entre escolares brasileiros nas cinco regiões do Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo transversal utilizando dados de escolares do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental, de ambos os sexos, participantes da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar (PeNSE), 2015. A variável dependente foi a não participação nas aulas de EFI. Indicadores sociodemográficos, de estrutura escolar e comportamentais foram as variáveis independentes, avaliadas por questionários autoaplicáveis. A regressão logística binária foi usada para estimar as razões de chance, nas análises brutas e ajustadas. Participaram do estudo 84.807 escolares. A prevalência de não participação nas aulas de EFI foi de 17,9%, sendo mais alta na região Nordeste (26,9%). O sexo feminino, não ter materiais esportivos em condição de uso e ser inativo no lazer mostraram maiores chances de não participação nas aulas de EFI em todas as regiões. Escolares de municípios não capitais das regiões Nordeste, Sudeste, Sul e Centro-Oeste apresentaram menores chances de não participação. As demais variáveis mostraram associações com chances maiores ou menores a depender da região do país. Para as cinco regiões do país, foi identificado um claro padrão de correlatos da não participação nas aulas de EFI, envolvendo sexo, atividade física insuficiente no lazer e materiais das aulas. Os demais correlatos da participação nas aulas variaram nas associações, a depender da região do país. A proposição de intervenções para aumentar a participação nas aulas de EFI entre os jovens brasileiros deve considerar as potenciais diferenças regionais quantos aos seus correlatos.

Antes e depois do período de intervenção, avaliações de funções executivas (flexibilidade mental, memória de trabalho e tomada de decisão) foram realizadas pelos testes Span de dígitos, teste trilhas e Iowa Gambling Task e avaliação da funcionalidade pelo Senior Battery Fitness Test. Para a comparação dos grupos, foi utilizada a Anova two way de medidas repetidas com o post-hoc de Bonferroni. O nível de significância foi p≤0,05. Após 12 semanas de intervenção, houve uma diferença significativa entre os grupos na agilidade/equilíbrio dinâmico no GI (p = 0,050) e intragrupo na flexibilidade dos membros inferiores no GC (p=0,013). Apesar de promover melhorias em cinco componentes da aptidão física, a prática do futebol recreativo em idosos modificou-se significativamente apenas no equilíbrio/agilidade dinâmica, não mostrando efeito sobre as funções executivas.

O presente estudo tem o objetivo de comparar o desempenho nos saltos verticais, na contribuição do ciclo alongamento-encurtamento e identificar possíveis déficits no desempenho de atletas universitários. Foram avaliados 27 atletas do sexo masculino participantes de competições universitárias de nível nacional, sendo 13 saltadores e velocistas do atletismo e 14 de distintas modalidades. Inicialmente foi aplicada uma anamnese para aquisição dos dados demográficos, seguida da avaliação antropométrica. Posteriormente, foi executado o protocolo de testes de saltos verticais, a partir dos saltos squat jump e counter movement jump. Os avaliados realizaram 3 saltos máximos em um tapete de contato (CEFISE®, modelo Jump System Duo, 600 x 300 x 8mm), com intervalo de 30 segundos entre saltos e 1 minuto entre tipos, sendo considerado apenas o salto correspondente ao melhor desempenho de cada tipo para análise. Os dados foram submetidos a estatística descritiva. Foi verificada a normalidade na distribuição dos dados por meio do teste de Shapiro-Wilk e a homogeneidade através do teste de Levene. Para comparações entre os grupos distintos utilizou-se o teste t para amostras independentes e para dados não paramétricos (variável tempo semanal de treino) o teste U de Mann-Whitney. Foi adotado um nível de significância de α = 0.05. Quanto aos dados antropométricos, o grupo de distintas modalidades apresentou uma maior carga horária semanal de treinamentos comparado ao grupo de saltadores e velocistas, respectivamente: 8,28±4,95; 4,00±2,06; p=<0,01. Para as variáveis de desempenho, não houveram diferenças entre grupos. Diante disso, de acordo com o déficit encontrado, pode-se aderir exercícios pliométricos para potencializar a utilização do CAE (IE <15%), exercícios de força com altas cargas (IE >20%) ou treinamento complexo (15 a 20%, nível ótimo).
Iúri Lótman e os símbolos de Dante Alighieri
Authors: Merkoulova Inna
Published: December 2022

O artigo propõe uma análise do espaço em A divina comédia, de Dante, do ponto de vista da semiótica da cultura. O texto de Dante esteve no centro das atenções do fundador da escola semiótica de Tartu-Moscou, Iúri Mikháilovitch Lótman, que dedicou a ele um dos capítulos do livro Dentro dos mundos pensantes. Lótman analisa a estrutura de A divina comédia antes de tudo como espaço simbólico em que Natureza e Universo são textos semióticos, cujos sentidos podem ser decifrados. Toda a obra de Dante está organizada ao redor do eixo semântico “Alto-Baixo”, e o movimento do autor no texto é sempre de descida ou subida. A análise de Lótman é feita no contexto das conquistas da semiótica europeia do final do século XX e início do século XXI, isto é, a orientação “Semiótica das paixões” de Greimas e Fontanillee a “semiótica do corpo” de Castellana.
Iúri Lótman: o discurso interior do cientista
Authors: Torop Peeter
Published: December 2022

O artigo é um primeiro estudo sobre a herança de Lotman, que deixou 169 autorretratos. Concentra-se apenas naqueles que refletem o discurso interior do cientista não em rascunhos de artigos científicos, mas em vários textos mais ou menos íntimos: em cartas particulares às pessoas mais próximas, mas também em pedaços de papel aleatórios. auto-ironia. Ao considerar os autorretratos de Lotman no eixo do tempo, verifica-se o processo de autocompreensão e autoafirmação. Tomados separadamente, eles podem ser percebidos como caricaturas lúdicas, formam o automito de Lotman e o texto mitopoético que o expressa. Os autorretratos de Lotman são característicos da peculiar mitopoética deste pensador.
PERCEPTIONS OF ACCOUNTING PROFESSIONALS REGARDING DIGITALIZATION AND REMOTE WORK DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Covid-19 has spread all over the world and humanity faced with uncertain situations. These ambiguous conditions have also affected the public accountants in terms of their working schedules and social lives, as they have affected every sector. The public accountants have continued their key role between government and corporations with great effort during the Covid-19 period. Covid-19 has forced the accountants to quickly adapt to this change in work arrangement with the support of the rapid development of technology. This study aims to examine the responses of professional accountants in the frame of remote working due to Covid-19 and their adaptation to the digital transformation. In this research, the data was collected by semi-structured interviews, which are one of the qualitative methods. The interviews were conducted with 12 certified public accountants, and their responses were recorded. The results of the interviews were classified under six main themes within the framework of the answers of the participants. Accountants stated that digital transformation gained speed and remote work mounted during the pandemic period. Professionals who experienced working remotely, albeit forcibly during this period, stated that accounting can also be done from home, and that the regulation that requires obtaining an office should be updated. They also stated that during the period, there were various changes in the working schemes compared to the previous period and that they could not get enough support from the government agencies with decision authority.
Reconciling “Heavy” and “Long”: The Typology of Lexical Geminates
Authors: Topintzi Nina , Zimmermann Eva
Published: December 2022

After decades of research, opinions are still split over whether geminates should be represented as long or as heavy. We attempt to resolve this issue by entertaining a model that rests on the assumption that all underlying geminates are moraic consonants but they might not emerge as such on the surface. We argue that this intuition—due to Davis (2011)—can be formalized in a theoretical model where (a) different degrees of prosodic integration are possible and (b) phonetic interpretation can refer to the difference between epenthetic and underlying elements. This model predicts that the questions of whether a mora has an effect for segmental length and whether it has an effect for syllabic weight are independent from each other. We show that this representational consequence correctly predicts the typology of attested combinations of geminates in different positions and singleton coda consonants in the languages of the world.
When VP-Ellipsis and Sluicing Conspire against Syntactic Neg-Raising
Authors: Sato Yosuke
Published: December 2022

In this squib, I analyze a hitherto unnoticed interaction between VP-ellipsis and sluicing (TP-ellipsis) in English in which the VP-ellipsis site contains a certain positive propositional complement headed by a Neg-raising predicate whereas the TP-ellipsis site denotes the negative counterpart of the same proposition, thereby yielding a mismatched-polarity interpretation between the two ellipsis sites. I show that the relevant data presented here provide strong support for a pragmatic-semantic approach to the so-called Neg-raised reading (Bartsch 1973, Gajewski 2005, 2007, Kroll 2019) over the syntactic Neg-raising alternative (Collins and Postal 2014, 2018).

Members of the order Poduromorpha are mostly small and delicate, many of them are notably smaller than 1 mm. For this reason, studies at the molecular level are still scarce, but modern sequencing technologies are making it possible and the Collembola genetic database have increased significantly in the last ten years. In order to contribute to future studies at the molecular level of the group, we sequenced and annotated three mitogenomes of Tullbergiidae species from China, two of them are newly determined. The mitogenomes of Paratullbergia changfengensis, Metaphorura motuoensis and Mesaphorura yosii have 15,210 bp, 14,873 bp and 14,831 bp in length, respectively, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer-RNA-coding genes (tRNA), and 2 ribosomal-RNA-coding genes (rRNA) with the ancestral Pancrustacean gene order, typical for most mitogenomes of Collembola. We performed phylogenetic analyses based on 13 PCGs with protein sequences using Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood methods. Our phylogenetic analyses including all available mitogenomes of Poduromorpha and the new mitogenomes consistently confirmed the taxonomical placement of the three Chinese species within Tullbergiidae with high support. The monophyly of the family was confirmed with Onychiuridae as its sister group.
