qualign: solving sequence alignment based on quadratic unconstrained binary optimisation
Authors: Matsumoto Yuki , Nakamura Shota
Published: March 2023

Bioinformatics has, among others, the issue of solving complex computational problems with vast amounts of sequencing data. Recently, a new computing architecture, the annealing machine, has emerged that applies to actual problems and is available for practical use. This novel architecture can solve discrete optimisation problems by replacing algorithms designed under the von Neumann architecture. To perform computations on the annealing machine, quadratic unconstrained binary optimisation (QUBO) formulations should be constructed and optimised according to the application. In this study, we developed an algorithm under the annealing machine architecture to solve sequence alignment problems, a known fundamental process widely used in genetic analysis, such as mutation detection and genome assembly. We constructed a QUBO formulation based on dynamic programming to solve a pairwise sequence alignment and derived its general form. We compared with conventional methods to solve 40 bp of pairwise alignment problem. Our implementation, named qualign, solved sequence alignment problems with accuracy comparable to that of conventional methods. Although a small pairwise alignment was solved owing to the limited memory size of this method, this is the first step of the application of annealing machines. We showed that our QUBO formulation solved the sequencing alignment problem. In the future, increasing the memory size of annealing machine will allow annealing machines to impact a wide range of bioinformatics applications positively.Availability: the source code of qualign is available at https://github.com/ymatsumoto/qualign
Corrosion inhibition by imidazoline and imidazoline derivatives: a review
Authors: Sriplai Nipaporn , Sombatmankhong Korakot
Published: March 2023

Imidazoline and imidazoline derivatives are extensively employed as effective corrosion inhibitors due to their low toxicity, low cost and environmental friendliness. Their chemical structure consists of a 5-membered heterocyclic ring (C3N2H4) with two nitrogen atoms that are readily adsorbed onto metal surfaces. Also, a pendant side chain or alkyl amine substituent acts as an anchor that helps to maintain its adsorption on steel surfaces. The tail portion is a long hydrocarbon chain that can form a hydrophobic film on a surface. These molecular structures make it very attractive as a starting point for several enhancements in corrosion inhibition research. Moreover, modification of an imidazoline structure can be more effective in enhancing its effectiveness in corrosion inhibition. This review compiled all information regarding imidazoline and imidazoline derivatives used as effective corrosion inhibitors in the petroleum industry. It includes their chemical structures and properties, synthesis processes, characterisation and performance evaluations. The review also gives an overview of various types of imidazoline inhibitors with their preparation processes, metal types, corrosive media and concentration range for measurements.
The acquisition of L3 French present simple and present progressive by adult L1 Chinese speakers of L2 English
Authors: Kong Stano
Published: March 2023

The study examines the acquisition of L3 French present form by advanced L2 English learners of L1 Chinese within the framework of theTypological Primacy Model(TPM) of Rothman (2011) and theInterpretability Hypothesisof Tsimpli and Dimitrakopoulou (Tsimpli, Ianthi-maria & Maria Dimitrakopoulou. 2007. The Interpretability Hypothesis: Evidence from wh-interrogatives in second language acquisition.Second Language Research23. 215–242. The meaning-form distinction of the present form in relation to habitual and event-in-progress interpretations varies between French, English, and Chinese, but is constrained by the presence/absence of tense and agreement features. Thirty-two adult L1 Chinese speakers of high proficiency L2 English/low proficiency L3 French and thirty adult L1 Chinese speakers of low proficiency L2 English together with a native English control group and a French control group were invited to take part in an acceptability judgement test. The results provide partial support to the TPM, which posits that the perceived typological similarity between L3 and the previously acquired languages conditions transfer in L3 initial state. The findings are, instead, more consistent with theInterpretability Hypothesis, which assumes the inaccessibility of uninterpretable syntactic features in subsequent language acquisition. What remain available in adult multilingual acquisition are interpretable syntactic features, computational devices, and other aspects of Universal Grammar (UG).

Social Unrest Prediction Through Sentiment Analysis on Twitter Using Support Vector Machine: Experimental Study on Nigeria’s #EndSARS
Authors: Oladele Temidayo Michael , Ayetiran Eniafe Festus
Published: March 2023

Social unrest is a powerful mode of expression and organized form of behavior involving civil disorders and acts of mass civil disobedience, among other behaviors. Nowadays, signs of most social unrest start from the social media websites, such as Twitter, Facebook, etc. In recent times, Nigeria has faced different forms of social unrest, including the popular #EndSARS, which began on Twitter with a demand that government disband the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a unit under the Nigerian Police Force for alleged brutality. Mining public opinions such as this on social media can assist the government and other concerned organizations by serving as an early warning system. In this work, we collected user tweets with #EndSARS from Twitter and pre-processed and annotated them into positive and negative classes. A support vector classifier was then used for classifying the sentiment expressed in them. Experimental results show 90% accuracy, 94% precision, 85% recall, and 89% F1 score on the test set. The codes and dataset are publicly available for research use.

Nihilism: Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Now
Authors: Stewart-Kroeker Peter
Published: March 2023

In this article, I discuss how Nietzsche’s critique of nihilism concerns the complicity between Christian morality and modern atheism. I unpack in what sense Schopenhauer’s ascetic denial of the will signifies a return to nothingness, what he calls thenihil negativum. I argue that Nietzsche’s formulation of nihilism specifically targets Schopenhauer’s pessimism as the culmination of the Western metaphysical tradition, the crucial stage of its intellectual history in which the scientific pursuit of truth finally unveils the asceticwill to nothingnessthat motivates it. I contend that Nietzsche’s critique of Schopenhauer anticipates current scholarly debates around the significance of thenihil negativumand offers a compelling objection against contemporary proponents of philosophical nihilism such as Eugene Thacker and Ray Brassier.

Ein neuartiger T-förmiger 14-Elektronen-Iridium(I)-Komplex stabilisiert durch eine agostische Ir–H-Wechselwirkung
Authors: Heinemann Jan , Mayer Peter , Böttcher Hans-Christian
Published: March 2023

The reaction of [{Ir(µ-Cl)(coe)2}2] (1, coe =cis-cyclooctene) with the bulky tertiary phosphane P(o-tolyl)3in dichloromethane at room temperature was investigated. It afforded in good yield the tri-coordinate iridium(I) complex [IrCl{P(o-tolyl)3}2] (2) which was characterized in the solid state by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study revealing a molecular structure of a rare tri-coordinate complex. The iridium(I) complex is stabilized by an agostic interaction of a hydrogen atom from the methyl group of the bulky phosphane ligand to fill the fourth unsaturated coordination site. The title compound crystallized from dichloromethane/diethyl ether as orange crystals in a mixture of two modifications (monoclinicP21/c,2a, and orthorhombicPbca,2b). The co-existence of the two components as a nearly 1:1 mixture in the crystalline bulk material was supported by solid-state31P{1H} NMR measurements.
Exploring dicyanamides with two different alkali-metal cations: phase separations, solid solutions and the new compound Rb1.667Cs0.333[N(CN)2]2
Authors: Reckeweg Olaf , Lissner Falk , Schleid Thomas
Published: March 2023

Metathesis reactions designed with the tentative starting stoichiometry (A1)+ : (A2)+ : [N(CN)2]− = 1 : 1 : 2 (A1, A2: Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs) were used to get a complete picture of the compounds and structures that are formed in this regime of dicyanamides with two different alkali-metal cations. Next to solid solutions and phase separations of the respective pseudo-binary dicyanamides, the new compound Rb1.667Cs0.333[N(CN)2]2 was found and structurally characterized as a disorder variety of the KCs[N(CN)2]2 structure. Rb1.667Cs0.333[N(CN)2]2 adopts the monoclinic space group C2/c and the unit-cell parameters a = 1387.73(8), b = 1005.00(6), c = 1451.29(8) pm, β = 117.175(3)° for Z = 8. Its crystal structure is very closely related with those of β-Rb[dca] and KCs[dca]2 ([dca]− ≡ [N(CN)2]−) and so are the vibrational spectra. These three quasi-isostructural compounds are compared in detail. A synopsis of the crystal structures (either already reported or discussed here for the first time) for all combinations in the (A1)+: (A2)+: [N(CN)2]− systems is presented and the behavior of those not forming a distinct compound is discussed.

Return to Sport After an Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear: Bridging the Gap Between Research and Practice
Authors: Arias Roberto , Monaco Jerry , Schoenfeld Brad J.
Published: March 2023

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most frequent injuries experienced by athletes of all levels. Because so many variables are at play, there is a great deal of controversy about how and why this occurs. In addition, there are various suggested appropriate steps to take to return to sport in the fastest and safest possible way. However, a major issue in injury recovery and return to sport practices is the lack of a gold-standard method or a consistent course of action that an athlete should undertake after suffering an ACL injury. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to review the literature to determine evidence-based methods for return to sport after ACL reconstruction and provide practical recommendations to guide the process.
Nonlinear Theta-Gamma Coupling between the Anterior Thalamus and Hippocampus Increases as a Function of Running Speed
Authors: Qin Yu , Sheremet Alex , Cooper Tara L. , Burke Sara N. , Maurer Andrew P.
Published: March 2023

The hippocampal theta rhythm strongly correlates to awake behavior leading to theories that it represents a cognitive state of the brain. As theta has been observed in other regions of the Papez circuit, it has been theorized that activity propagates in a reentrant manner. These observations complement the energy cascade hypothesis in which large-amplitude, slow-frequency oscillations reflect activity propagating across a large population of neurons. Higher frequency oscillations, such as gamma, are related to the speed with which inhibitory and excitatory neurons interact and distribute activity on the local level. The energy cascade hypothesis suggests that the larger anatomic loops, maintaining theta, drive the smaller loops. As hippocampal theta increases in power with running speed, so does the power and frequency of the gamma rhythm. If theta is propagated through the circuit, it stands to reason that the local field potential (LFP) recorded in other regions would be coupled to the hippocampal theta, with the coupling increasing with running speed. We explored this hypothesis using open-source simultaneous recorded data from the CA1 region of the hippocampus and the anterior dorsal and anterior ventral thalamus. Cross-regional theta coupling increased with running speed. Although the power of the gamma rhythm was lower in the anterior thalamus, there was an increase in the coupling of hippocampal theta to anterior thalamic gamma. Broadly, the data support models of how activity moves across the nervous system, suggesting that the brain uses large-scale volleys of activity to support higher cognitive processes.

Published: March 2023

Objective: to understand the perspective of nurses regarding the obstacles faced by physically disabled women in regard to cytopathological examinations. Methods: qualitative study with 11 nurses from Basic Health Units, including urban and rural areas. Data was processed and analyzed using the software IRAMUTEQ (R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires). Results: classes 1 and 5 were grouped into the class “Inadequate infrastructure”; class 2 was “Results of the collected exams”; class 3, “Feelings at the time of examination”; and 4 “Team training”. Conclusion: we revealed that women presented negative feelings during the examination, professionals lacked further training, there were no strategies to deal with the situation in the unit, and facilities were inadequate to attend the needs of the users. Contributions to practice: we demonstrated that it is essential to provide care to physically disabled women and carry out routine exams in this population. Furthermore, this study can give support to strategies to adapt and improve the knowledge of the workers who provide care.

International symposium on pheochromocytoma: an event of dedicated healthcare professionals and researchers striving for better patient outcomes
Authors: Pacak Karel , Clifton-Bligh Roderick
Published: March 2023

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are defined as neuroendocrine tumors that produce catecholamines. Many recent advances in their management, localization, treatment, as well as surveillance have significantly improved outcomes for patients with PPGLs or carriers of pathogenic genetic variants linked to the development of these tumors. At present, those advances mainly include the molecular stratification of PPGLs into seven clusters, the 2017 WHO revised definition of these tumors, the presence of specific clinical features pointing toward PPGL, the use of plasma metanephrines and 3-methoxytyramine with specific reference limits to assess the likelihood of having a PPGL (e.g. patients at high and low risk) including age-specific reference limits, nuclear medicine guidelines outlining cluster- and metastatic disease-specific functional (here mainly positron emission tomography and metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy) imaging in the precise diagnostic localization of PPGLs, the guidelines for using radio- vs chemotherapy for patients with metastatic disease, and the international consensus on initial screening and follow-up of asymptomatic germline SDHx pathogenic variant carriers. Furthermore, new collaborative efforts particularly based on multi-institutional and worldwide initiatives are now considered key forces in improving our understanding and knowledge about these tumors and future successful treatments or even preventative interventions.
Algunas reflexiones en materia económica sobre las mancomunidades municipales en Galicia
Authors: Vaquero García Alberto
Published: March 2023

Galicia, al igual que buena parte del resto de comunidades autónomas, ha optado por la creación de mancomunidades como entidades supramunicipales para la prestación de ciertos servicios y para la dotación de infraestructuras. El incremento de su número y de los ayuntamientos participantes no siempre viene acompañado por un adecuado grado de cumplimiento de sus obligaciones en materia de información económica. Además, aquellas que sí presentan sus cuentas demuestran la existencia de una excesiva dependencia financiera de otras Administraciones públicas distintas de los ayuntamientos. En este trabajo se pretende, por una parte, analizar y evaluar estos asuntos desde una perspectiva económica y, por otra, plantear algunas reflexiones que puedan contribuir a mejorar el funcionamiento de las mancomunidades municipales en Galicia.

This article aims to explore some ideas present in the work of Hannah Arendt that could be useful to inform debates, issues, and theories of International Relations. As this topic was not frequently tackled by the author, the reconstruction of her thought on the matter will be based on different series of her excerpts. In addition, the opinion of some experts on the topic will be studied to further elucidate her perspective on the discipline. Thus, this article aims to find new approaches to keep expanding the field of International Relations theories with novel contributions, as it is the case of Arendt’s ideas.
Genotypic variations in characteristics of nano-fibrillated cellulose derived from banana pseudostem
Authors: Gopinathan Priya , Subramanian Kizhaeral S. , Paliyath Gopinathan , Subramanian Jayasankar
Published: March 2023

A laboratory study was undertaken to extract nano-fibrillated cellulose (NFC) from the pseudostem (a waste from the fruit harvest) of two commercial banana cultivars (‘Grand Naine’ and ‘Poovan’) in Tamil Nadu using a novel approach: a one-step method with a bleaching agent and alkali-free acid hydrolysis coupled with ultrasonication. The acid hydrolysis was performed using nitric acid and acetic acid (1:10 ratio). The treatment was effective in the depolymerization and defibrillation of banana pseudostem fiber and in the formation of NFC, which was confirmed by several physico-chemical techniques. The average diameters of the nanofibrils were 6 to 8 nm and 4 to 6 nm for ‘Grand Naine’ and ‘Poovan’, respectively. The XRD analysis revealed an increased cellulose crystallinity of almost 20% in the NFC compared with the respective raw banana fibers. The Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed the absence of lignin, hemicelluloses, and pectin in the nano-fibrillated samples. The thermal analysis showed the increased thermal stability of the NFC.
The role of phenolic extractives in color changes of locust wood (Robinia pseudoacacia) during heat treatment
Authors: Wei Yanxia , Wang Mingjie , Zhang Peng , Chen Yao , Gao Jianmin , Fan Yongming
Published: March 2023

To investigate the effects of phenolic extractives on the discoloration of black locust wood (Robinia pseudoacacia) during heat treatment, phenolic compounds were extracted using an accelerated solvent extraction. The main components of the phenolic extractives were analyzed. The phenolic compounds were heat treated at 120 and 140 °C in nitrogen, oxygen, and saturated steam. The results showed that the a* values shifted toward red and the b* values shifted toward yellow after the heat treatment. The changes in the color parameters were more pronounced when the samples were treated at 140 °C in saturated steam compared with treatment at 120 °C in oxygen or nitrogen atmosphere. During heat treatment, hydroxyl groups in the phenolic components were oxidized to form carbonyl groups, or the adjacent hydroxyl groups formed quinoid structures. It was possible that the sample underwent condensation reactions to produce conjugated double-bond structures that led to the increase in color parameters.
Thermal stability and dynamic mechanical properties of kenaf/bamboo fibre reinforced epoxy composites
Authors: Chee Siew Sand , Jawaid Mohammad , Sultan Mohamed T. H.
Published: March 2023

An increased awareness of environmental concerns has increased the need for innovation to produce high performance engineering materials with natural renewable resources. In this study, 3 types of natural fibre (mat form) reinforced epoxy composites were prepared by the hand lay-up method, namely, kenaf (K)/Epoxy, bamboo (B)/Epoxy, and bamboo charcoal (BC)/Epoxy. The thermal stability of the specimens was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and the dynamic mechanical properties. Viscous elastic behaviour of the specimens was investigated via a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). The TGA results revealed that the BC/Epoxy composite showed the highest thermal stability compared to K/Epoxy and B/Epoxy with the highest initial and final decomposition temperature at 348 °C and 463 °C, respectively. It also showed the highest charcoal content at 11.5%. From the DMA results, the K/Epoxy composite showed better dynamic mechanical properties with the highest complex modulus (E*) strength and the lowest damping behaviour (peak height of Tan δ). The DMA analysis also revealed that the glass transition temperature of the composites fell between 60 °C to 90 °C. This preliminary study may give a new path to develop a novel hybrid composite that offers unique properties unachievable in a single material system.
In Vitro Photo-Catalytic Degradation of Chloramphenicol Using Pharmaceutical Wastewater
Authors: Mahendran G. , Arthanareeswaran G.
Published: March 2023

Abstract: In this work, the performance of composite membranes for the treatment of Chloramphenicol (CAP) pollutants was investigated from pharmaceutical industrial wastewater. The composite membrane was under operated with different concentrations of CAP with Titanium dioxide (TiO2) in 10mg/L, 20mg/L and 30 mg/L. The composite membranes were cross-linked with glutaraldehyde for the elimination of H2SO4. Characterizations of synthesized composite membranes were carried out to analyze functionality, morphology, and hydrophilic behaviours. In continuous operation, the different time intervals of TiO2 were removed in centrifuging. The performance of the composite membrane is the removal of pollutant CAP by UV analysis, and kinetics model at different concentrations. The degree of swelling and contact angle were measured in different concentrations of CAP at TiO2. Liquid Chromatography (LC) is used to CAP with Titanium dioxide mixtures. Mass Spectrometry (MS) can be used for structural identity with high specificity. The MS is also used to analyze CAP from pharmaceutical industrial wastewater. The membranes were subjected to filtration of pharmaceutical wastewater which gave a maximum rejection of 95% of Chloramphenicol.

“According to Our Image” or “to be Our Image”? (Gen 1. 26-27)
Authors: Seleznev Mikhail
Published: March 2023

The concept of human being as the image of God forms the basis of anthropology of all religions that belong to the tradition of the Bible. The key place for this concept is Gen 1:26. The detailed analysis of this verse must take into account both the history of “crystallization” of the concept in the development of the religion of the Ancient Israel, and the later exegesis. The article classifies interpretations of the meaning and function of the expression “the image of God” in the context of the Creation narrative. The difference between these interpretations may be clarified by an analogy with a coin having a king’s image. What exactly is meant by “king’s image”? The coin itself? The features of the king’s face represented on the coin? The stamp which impressed the king’s image upon it? Following this analogy we identify three models of understanding the wording of Gen 1:26 and trace their place in the history of interpretation of the verse. The first part of the article is devoted to linguistic aspects of interpretation of the Hebrew text with a special emphasis on the semantic of the Hebrew prepositions. The second part looks at the place of the concept of Man as God’s image in the development of the religion of the Ancient Israel. The third part analyses the treatment of this concept in the Greek translations. Of special interest for us are the texts of the Judeo-Hellenistic (Wisdom of Solomon) and early Christian (Paul’s letters) literature that reflect the interpretation of the Biblical text different from the LXX. The fourth part is devoted to the Platonizing interpretation of the LXX translation, represented, first of all, by Philo. The final part of the article summarizes the individual conclusions of specialists in the Hebrew Bible, LXX, Judeo-Hellenistic and early Christian literature and relates them to the three models of understanding the wording of Gen 1:26.
Saint Anargyroi in the programmes of Middle Byzantine churches with burials
Authors: Ovcharova Olga
Published: March 2023

The article discusses the tendency to depict the saints anargyroi near the burial places in Byzantine churches. The purpose of the study is to establish possible factors in the formation of such programs. The methodology is comprehensive: the results of iconographic analysis are compared with data gleaned from historical researches and liturgical studies. In the previous literature, the iconographic tendency under study was considered mainly on the basis of Serbian monuments of the 13th to 14th centuries and in the light of literary sources relating the facts of miraculous healings at tombs. In the present study, attention shifts to the ensembles of the period of the Komnenoi and the Angeloi — from the frescoes of Bachkovo to the murals of Panagia Krena in Chios (1197). It is suggested that the inclusion of the images of saintly healers in the decorations of burial sites was stimulated by the texts of the funeral services, such as the ancient prayer Ὁ θεὸς τῶν πνευμάτων καὶ πάσης σαρκός (God of the spirits and of all flesh), on the one hand, and the participation of physicians from the hospital at the Pantokrator monastery in Constantinople in the posthumous commemorations on the tombs of John II Komnenos (1118–1143) and members of his family, on the other. The last factor seems to be most important, and it is given special attention. It is shown that the participation of doctors in memorial services in the monastery of Christ Pantokrator was the result of the intersection in this place of two initially unrelated trends — the growing interest in medicine and increased attention to burials and funeral rites on the part of Komnenian ktetors. In turn, this concern in regard to death and posthumous commemorations is linked to certain aspects of the so-called Evergetine reform movement.
The mystery of the light speed
Authors: Naderi Maziar
Published: March 2023

One of the major topics in the physics is the survey of speed and emission of light. Most physicists believed that light required to a medium to emit into space. They proposed aether, a supposed medium permeating space that was thought to be the carrier of light waves. The Michelson–Morley experiment was an attempt to detect the existence of aether, while their results led to the rejection of this theory. After this, Albert Einstein proposed the theory of special relativity wherein the speed of light is independent of the motion of the observer and it is the same in all situations. Nevertheless, the answer to some of the questions about the emission of the light remains unanswered. The aim of this study is to consider the speed of the light and the reason of its emission into the space. This study presents that based on Galilean relativity the space around matter is moving with the speed of light and any electromagnetic waves that formed result from vibrating charged particles obey from the space that moved with light speed.

Children’s embodied practices for organizing participation in pretend play in an inclusive kindergarten
Authors: Kern Friederike
Published: March 2023

This paper uses a microanalysis of naturally occurring interactions to uncover how pre-school-aged autistic and non-autistic children organize their participation in pretend play. The analysis draws on video recordings of children and a teacher during two playing time sessions in an inclusive nursery school. It explores differences in the embodied practices with which the children attempt to gain access to play material and take possession of it. Findings show how children use environmental resources (e.g. space, objects) for their purposes while adapting to relevant situative contingencies; they also suggest that autistic children can be thorough observers of unfolding interactions who possess the ability to transform and adopt their own embodied practices. Comparative analysis thus provides empirical support for the potential achievements of inclusive education.

Infants’ communicative ecologies and language policies in two contemporary Spanish families
Authors: Galera Nieves , Poveda David
Published: March 2023

This article examines linguistic socialisation and communicative practices in contemporary Spanish families during a child’s first two years of life. We focus on two families who worked towards additive bilingualism in their family communicative practices, with the goal of promoting the acquisition of more than one language early on in the children’s development. The two cases reflect non-conventional family projects, one family led by a single mother by choice and one by a lesbian couple. Our analysis focuses on three aspects: 1) the interactional and communicative ecologies that emerge as part of the linguistic decisions made by the mothers, focusing particularly on the maternal voicing of children’s ‘talk’; 2) how these ecologies develop over the first two years of children’s lives; 3) how these interactional dynamics intertwine with the linguistic and parenting ideologies of mothers. Our analysis contributes to unpacking how Family Language Policy operates during the early stages of children’s communicative development and shows how, in fact, family language planning practices and parental projects intertwine.
“Anhedonia”: um conto cubano em perspectiva multirrede-discursiva na formação de professores de espanhol
Authors: Rabasa Yamilka
Published: March 2023

Partindo da compreensão da relação constitutiva entre língua e literatura e do poderoso papel da literatura na formação do sujeito, este trabalho pretende inserir-se nas discussões travadas por linguistas aplicados a respeito da inclusão da literatura em planejamentos curriculares na área de formação de professores de espanhol. Mobilizando a Proposta Multirrede-Discursiva (Serrani, 2010, 2020),  este artigo apresenta o conto “Anhedonia”, da cubana Mylene Fernández Pintado (2013), a partir de critérios multirrede-discursivos, e discute uma proposta de práticas de linguagens que permitam enfocar, de forma articulada, o tema sociocultural: a mulher (cubana) e sua representação em sociedade, e a heterogeneidade discursiva como tema de língua-discurso, materializada no discurso relatado, sempre visando à formação intercultural de professores de espanhol. Nas oficinas apresentadas estabeleceu-se uma rede semântica a partir de textos em gêneros discursivos diversos com posições diferentes sobre o tema sociocultural em debate, o que pode possibilitar uma melhor compreensão deste e contribuir com uma formação compromissada com a cidadania.
Elementos de messianismo em pronunciamentos de Jair Bolsonaro
Authors: Brito Clebson Luiz de , Lara Glaucia Muniz Proença
Published: March 2023

Este trabalho busca apreender, à luz da semiótica discursiva, elementos do messianismo no discurso de Jair Bolsonaro. Para isso, analisa três pronunciamentos do político realizados respectivamente: a) após a confirmação da vitória nas urnas; b) durante a cerimônia de posse no Congresso Nacional; e c) após o recebimento da faixa presidencial, no Parlatório do Palácio do Planalto. Nesses pronunciamentos, o enunciador reforça os valores do grupo em que se situa, articulando ideias como combate à corrupção, conservadorismo nos costumes, rejeição a minorias sexuais e apelo a identidades religiosas e nacionalistas. Essas ideias, como procuraremos demonstrar, são reafirmadas em torno de uma vitória eleitoral com forte viés messiânico.

Phenolic compounds are prevalent organic contaminants in aquatic and soil environments. To address the issue of phenolic waste water treatment, bentonite can be utilised as an effective adsorbent through organic modification. The present study focuses on using sodium bentonite, which was modified with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB), to remove phenol from an aqueous solution. The influence of various factors such as adsorption time, initial phenol concentration and CTMAB–bentonite dosage on phenol adsorption was thoroughly investigated. In addition, the microstructural changes during the adsorption process, adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms of the organically modified bentonite (OMB) were analysed. The results indicated that the adsorption equilibrium time of OMB was longer compared with that of sodium bentonite. The amount of phenol adsorbed by OMB was found to be positively correlated with the initial phenol concentration and CTMAB–bentonite dosage. The maximum phenol adsorption capacity and removal rate achieved were 3.00 mg/g and 43.74%, respectively. The study also revealed that a quasi-second-order kinetic model was appropriate for describing the phenol adsorption process of OMB, and the adsorption isotherm was found to conform with the Freundlich isotherm model. These findings demonstrate the potential of OMB as an efficient and effective adsorbent for phenolic waste water treatment.

Un pilote de l’aéronavale japonaise consulte au centre médico-chirurgical interarmées « Médecin capitaine Dominique Mattei » de Djibouti pour une masse latéro-cervicale droite douloureuse évoluant depuis 72 heures.
Une suspicion d’adénophlegmon ou d’abcès rétropharyngé, dans le contexte de la prise d’anti-inflammatoires non stéroïdiens de façon prolongée, est évoquée par le médecin de garde. En l'absence d'otorhinolaryngologiste sur le théâtre, un avis diagnostique est demandé au chirurgien viscéraliste. Il est décidé de réaliser un scanner ORL avec injection biphasique, adressé à l’hôpital d’instruction des armées Percy, dont l’interprétation met en évidence un abcès paramandibulaire droite probablement d’origine dentaire. Un avis spécialisé ORL concernant la conduite thérapeutique précise à adopter est demandé à l'hôpital d’instruction des armées Percy : le drainage lingual ainsi qu’une éventuelle extraction dentaire sont préconisés.
L’anesthésiste-réanimateur est consulté afin que ce geste soit pratiqué sous anesthésie générale.
Finalement, le chirurgien-dentiste du centre médico-chirurgical interarmées de Djibouti réalise l’extraction de la dent causale ainsi qu’un drainage lingual avec mise en place d’une mèche de gaze sous anesthésie locorégionale et locale.
