Diagnóstico dos impactos ambientais provocado pelas indústrias cerâmicas no município de Cordeirópolis-SP / Diagnosis of the environmental impacts caused by the ceramic industries in the city of Cordeirópolis-SP
Authors: Vieira Paulo Henrique , Alves da Silva Vieira Aline Cristina
Published: November 2018

Os artigos científicos cada vez mais argumentam sobre as interações entre a sociedade e natureza, principalmente, sobre os efeitos nocivos que algumas atividades antrópicas vêm causando ao meio ambiente e ao próprio homem. Os ambientes naturais encontravam-se em estado de equilíbrio até o momento em que o homem passou a explorar cada vez mais os recursos naturais, com objetivo de atender seus interesses e necessidades. Neste contexto que o objetivo deste trabalho se enquadra em analisar os impactos ambientais das indústrias cerâmicas e propor medidas mitigadoras para tais atividades em Cordeirópolis/SP, município integrante do polo cerâmico de Santa Gertrudes/SP. Para alcançar estes resultados os procedimentos metodológicos foram divididos em etapas: 1 – Trabalhos de gabinete; 2 – Levantamento de dados; 3 – Georreferenciamento; 4 – Aplicação do Sistema de Informação Geográfica, neste caso o ArcGis 10.3; 5 – Trabalhos de campo. Assim, o trabalho faz um diagnóstico dos danos ambientais e sociais que a atividade cerâmica causa em Cordeirópolis/SP, dentre os impactos destaca-se: retirada da cobertura vegetal; poluição da água e do ar; e poluição sonora; além disso, propõe-se medidas que possam minimizar os efeitos destes impactos como: instalação de bacias de decantação de finos; implantar uma cortina vegetal; umectação das vias de circulação; e reciclagem dos produtos utilizados.Palavras-chave: Recursos naturais; indústrias cerâmicas; impactos ambientais; polo cerâmico.AbstractScientific articles increasingly argue about the interactions between society and nature, especially about the harmful effects that some anthropic activities have been causing to the environment and to man himself. Natural environments were in a state of equilibrium until the time when man began to explore more and more natural resources in order to meet his interests and needs. In this context, the objective of this work is to analyze the environmental impacts of the ceramic industries and to propose mitigating measures for such activities in Cordeirópolis/SP, a municipality in the Santa Gertrudes/SP ceramic pole. To achieve these results the methodological procedures were divided into stages: 1 - Cabinet work; 2 - Data collection; 3 - Georeferencing; 4 - Application of the Geographic Information System, in this case ArcGis 10.3; 5 - Fieldwork. Thus, the work makes a diagnosis of the environmental and social damages that the ceramic activity causes in Cordeirópolis/SP, among the impacts it stands out: removal of the vegetal cover; water and air pollution; and noise pollution; in addition, it is proposed measures that can minimize the effects of these impacts such as: installation of fine settling basins; implant a plant curtain; wetting of roadways; recycling of the products used.Keywords: Natural resources; ceramic industries; environmental impacts; ceramic pole.
Metamidialidade e literatura: uma leitura do romance Sweet Tooth, de Ian McEwan
Authors: Nóbrega Caio Antônio
Published: November 2018

Neste artigo, objetivamos analisar como o romance Sweet Tooth, escrito por Ian McEwan, na condição de objeto de mídia literário, representa aspectos midiáticos da própria literatura – uma operação que aqui nomeamos de representação metamidiática. Levamos em conta como os aspectos materiais, econômicos, técnicos, sociais e institucionais da literatura foram representados nesta narrativa em relação aos processos de produção, circulação e consumo que caracterizam a atividade literária. Percebemos que tal estratégia criativa tem dois principais desdobramentos: i. a apresentação da paisagem midiática da Inglaterra da década de 1970 para uma audiência contemporânea – paisagem essa marcada por fortes contornos autobiográficos; ii. a realização de um processo de letramento literário/midiático, que desenvolve nos leitores a consciência sobre o fato de a literatura ser uma forma mediada.
O discurso midiatizado: mídium, gênero de discurso e identidades
Authors: Ferreira Anderson
Published: November 2018

O presente artigo tem por escopo examinar o discurso midiatizado. Com isso, visamos a verificar como o dispositivo midiático engendra atravessamentos no interior de cada mídium, afetando, desse modo, a relação recíproca entre gênero e tipo de discurso e a construção das identidades. Selecionamos como corpus de análise um texto multimodal, tomado como discurso, retirado do site noticioso Universo Online - UOL. Privilegiamos como aporte teórico-metodológico a Análise do Discurso em sua perspectiva enunciativo-interdiscursiva, em particular, os estudos de Dominique Maingueneau acerca da noção de mídium e de gênero de discurso. Também, para apreender a noção de dispositivo - em suas dimensões de curvas de visibilidade, curvas de enunciabilidade, linhas de força e linhas de subjetivação - mobilizamos as considerações de Gilles Deleuze acerca da conceitualização de dispositivo nos estudos de Michel Foucault. As novas tecnologias da informação e da comunicação impuseram novas formas de textualidade no campo das mídias. Contudo, o discurso materializado no dispositivo midiático mais corrobora com o primado da hipertrofia multimodal, no que tange a produção dos efeitos de sentido, do que, propriamente, com o surgimento de um tipo de discurso “midiático”. Ou seja, a midiatização do discurso diz respeito às condições sócio-históricas e culturais de produção dos discursos na sociedade contemporânea.
The Role of the Pathologist in Population Health
Authors: Gross David J. , Kennedy Mary , Kothari Tarush , Scamurra David O. , Wilkerson Myra L. , Crawford James M. , Cohen Michael B.
Published: November 2018

Context.—

As part of its value-based care initiative, the College of American Pathologists has pursued research to better understand the role pathologists can have in population health.

Objectives.—

To answer the following questions: (1) what is the impact of population health and population health management on pathologists; (2) what roles are pathologists playing in population health management; (3) is population health something that pathologists in both larger and smaller settings can engage in; (4) are pathologists in a position to analyze laboratory data for population health, and, if so, what are the key information sources those pathologists must access; and (5) what steps can a pathologist take to become involved in population health?

Design.—

We conducted 10 semistructured interviews with pathologists and other medical laboratory leaders who have been active in population health. These interviews were supplemented with a review of the medical literature.

Results.—

Pathologists have demonstrated that laboratory data can provide unique value-added contributions to improving the health of populations. These contributions are not limited to pathologists in large, integrated settings. However, pathologists need to be proactive to contribute to health systems' population health efforts and may need to both enhance their own skills and the quality of their data to maximize the value of their contributions.

Conclusions.—

Although not necessarily a definitive summary of the roles that pathologists are playing in population health, this article identifies some of the promising and innovative activities occurring among pathologists and laboratorians.

Philippe Liébert et l’ancien tabernacle de Saint-Constant
Authors: Payer Claude , Drouin Daniel
Published: November 2018

En 2016, peu après la parution de l’ouvrage synthèse Les Tabernacles du Québec des xviie et xviiie siècles, un tabernacle méconnu, sculpté vers 1795 par Philippe Liébert (1733-1804) pour l’église de Saint-Constant (Montérégie), est sorti de l’ombre, s’additionnant aux 84 ouvrages déjà recensés. On doit au sculpteur Liébert plus d’une quinzaine d’autels principaux ou encore latéraux, dont l’exceptionnel maître-autel de l’ancien Hôpital Général de Montréal datant des années 1785-1788 et offert par les Soeurs grises au Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, en 2000. L’ancien tabernacle de Saint-Constant, aujourd’hui en usage dans l’église de Sainte Clotilde (Montérégie), se distingue de la production de Liébert par une architecture inédite et par l’adjonction de deux statuettes atypiques.

Tensions de rôle : proposition d’une grille d’analyse
Authors: Djabi Mélia , Perrot Serge
Published: November 2018

Au regard du flou conceptuel qui entoure la notion de tensions de rôle dans la recherche francophone et anglophone, cette note de recherche propose une grille d’analyse originale de ce construit. La mise en évidence de quatre natures et trois objets de tensions de rôle offre un cadre conceptuel multidimensionnel et intégrateur pour de futures recherches. Ce socle conceptuel permet d’outrepasser la conception unidimensionnelle qui domine dans les recherches quantitatives et d’adopter une approche cumulative des recherches plus qualitatives.

Convergences ou divergences de vues ? L’effet sur l’innovation des différences de perception entre gouvernance et entreprises d’un technopôle
Authors: Berthinier-Poncet Anne , Grama-Vigouroux Simona , Saidi Sana
Published: November 2018

Dans cette recherche, nous examinons les différences de perception entre gouvernance et entreprises au regard des pratiques institutionnelles d’innovation d’un technopôle et discutons l’impact de ces différences sur la performance d’innovation des entreprises technopolitaines. Ceci répond à un défi majeur du management public : évaluer l’efficacité des pratiques de gouvernance des pôles sur l’innovation. Notre analyse de la Technopole de l’Aube montre que, sur les vingt pratiques institutionnelles d’innovation, deux grandes différences perceptuelles émergent : l’une relative à la formulation de la stratégie et l’autre au développement de projets collaboratifs. Ces différences de perception pourraient influencer négativement la performance d’innovation des entreprises technopolitaines.

Published: November 2018

Ancrée dans la perspectiveknowledge-based, cette recherche vise à mettre en évidence les spécificités des sources de connaissances des PME pour les innovations environnementales qui restent peu étudiées comparativement aux innovations technologiques. Les résultats montrent que les sources de connaissances, essentielles pour les innovations environnementales des PME, diffèrent de celles mobilisées pour les innovations technologiques. Les PME qui introduisent des innovations environnementales font davantage appel aux sources externes qu’internes de connaissances. Cette recherche conduit à formuler des recommandations utiles aux PME et aux acteurs en charge de leur développement.
CEO Monitoring and Board Effectiveness: Resolving the CEO Compensation Issue
Authors: Ben Ali Chiraz , Teulon Frédéric
Published: November 2018

This study examines the impact of board governance mechanisms on the pay of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) using a sample of major French listed companies for the 2009–2011 period. The results show that CEO pay is negatively associated with the presence of a family CEO and positively associated with board size, busy directors, board meetings, and compensation committee independence. We provide further evidence that CEO compensation increases with firm size, and both present and past performance. Our study casts doubt on the effectiveness of formal board attributes in constraining CEO compensation.
Cardiovascular Disease as a Result of the Interactions Between Obesity, Climate Change, and Inflammation: The COCCI Syndemic
Authors: Clearfield Michael , Davis Glenn , Weis Jennifer , Gayer Gregory , Shubrook Jay H.
Published: November 2018

Obesity and climate change conspire to create an environment in which subclinical vascular inflammation leads to progressive atherosclerosis, which contributes to the number 1 cause of global mortality: cardiovascular disease. The syndemic model requires 2 or more diseases or contributors to disease (such as obesity and climate change) clustering within a specific population in addition to the associated societal and social factors, ultimately creating an environment supportive of a greater adverse interaction. This article explores the syndemic of obesity and climate change as a driver for cardiovascular disease.
Genetic population structure of the pelagic mollusk Limacina helicina in the Kara Sea
Authors: Abyzova Galina Anatolievna , Nikitin Mikhail Aleksandrovich , Popova Olga Vladimirovna , Pasternak Anna Fedorovna
Published: November 2018

Background

Pelagic pteropods Limacina helicina are widespread and can play an important role in the food webs and in biosedimentation in Arctic and Subarctic ecosystems. Previous publications have shown differences in the genetic structure of populations of L. helicina from populations found in the Pacific Ocean and Svalbard area. Currently, there are no data on the genetic structure of L. helicina populations in the seas of the Siberian Arctic. We assessed the genetic structure of L. helicina from the Kara Sea populations and compared them with samples from around Svalbard and the North Pacific.

Methods

We examined genetic differences in L. helicina from three different locations in the Kara Sea via analysis of a fragment of the mitochondrial gene COI. We also compared a subset of samples with L. helicina from previous studies to find connections between populations from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Results

65 individual L. helinica from the Kara Sea were sequenced to produce 19 different haplotypes. This is comparable with numbers of haplotypes found in Svalbard and Pacific samples (24 and 25, respectively). Haplotypes from different locations sampled around the Arctic and Subarctic were combined into two different groups: H1 and H2. The H2 includes sequences from the Kara Sea and Svalbard, was present only in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic. The other genetic group, H1, is widespread and found throughout all L. helicina populations. ϕ ST analyses also indicated significant genetic difference between the Atlantic and Pacific regions, but no differences between Svalbard and the Kara Sea.

Discussion

The obtained results support our hypothesis about genetic similarity of L. helicina populations from the Kara Sea and Svalbard: the majority of haplotypes belongs to the haplotype group H2, with the H1 group representing a minority of the haplotypes present. In contrast, in the Canadian Arctic and the Pacific Ocean only haplogroup H1 is found. The negative values of Fu’s Fs indicate directed selection or expansion of the population. The reason for this pattern could be an isolation of the Limacina helicina population during the Pleistocene glaciation and a subsequent rapid expansion of this species after the last glacial maximum.
Canadian packaged gluten-free foods are less nutritious than their regular gluten-containing counterparts
Authors: Jamieson Jennifer A. , Weir Mary , Gougeon Laura
Published: November 2018

Background

A strict gluten-free (GF) diet is required for the management of celiac disease (CD). The nutritional adequacy of this diet has been questioned due to the elimination of wheat, an important vehicle for micronutrient fortification and source of fibre. While novel and/or reformulated packaged GF products have rapidly entered the marketplace, providing alternatives to wheat-based staples, it is unknown whether these new products are nutritionally comparable.

Methods

From a database of 3,851 foods collected across 21 grocery stores in Eastern Canada, we compared the nutrient content of 398 unique GF items with 445 gluten-containing (GC) equivalents. Wilcoxon rank tests were conducted on listed nutrient content (g, mg, µg) per 100 g of product and the nutrient contribution of iron, folate and fibre were evaluated using Health Canada’s nutrient claim regulations.

Results

GF staples (cereals, breads, flours, pastas) contained 1.3 times more fat and less iron (by 55%), folate (by 44%) and protein (by 36%), than GC counterparts (P < 0.0001). On average, GF pastas had only 37% of the fibre in GC pastas (P < 0.0001). Notably, GF and GC flours were equivalent in nutrient content. Despite GF and GC flours having similar nutritional content, the vast majority of the processed GF foods fell short in key nutrients.

Discussion

Packaged GF foods in Canada are generally less nutritious than their GC counterparts, suggesting that GF diets should not be promoted to those who do not require it. The use of nutrient-dense GF flours in homemade foods may improve nutrient intakes on the GF diet.
Experimental food supplementation increases reproductive effort in the Variable Antshrike in subtropical Brazil
Authors: Roper James J. , Lima André M.X. , Uejima Angélica M.K.
Published: November 2018

Food limitation may interact with nest predation and influence nesting patterns, such as breeding season length and renesting intervals. If so, reproductive effort should change with food availability. Thus, when food is limited, birds should have fewer attempts and shorter seasons than when food is not limiting. Here we experimentally test that increased food availability results in increased reproductive effort in a fragmented landscape in the Variable Antshrike (Thamnophilus caerulescens) in southern Brazil. We followed nesting pairs in a naturally fragmented habitat and experimentally supplemented food for half of those pairs. Birds were seen, but evidence of nesting was never found in two small fragments, even though these fragments were larger than individual territories. Pairs with supplemented food were more likely to increase clutch size from two to three eggs and tended to renest sooner (20 d on average) than control pairs. Also, fragment size was associated with breeding patterns, although fragment replicates were unavailable. Nest duration, nest success and breeding season length were all greater, while renesting intervals were shorter, in the largest fragments. Simulations showed that only the largest fragments were able to have a net production of young. Food availability clearly influenced reproductive effort and as a consequence, because of the interaction with predation risk, forest fragments of varying sizes will have complex reproductive dynamics.

Authors: Prawitasari Johana E. , Sabini Burhan , . Zadok , Wijanto Eddy
Published: November 2018

In this globalization era, higher education institutions are required to provide their students with essential skills to survive the industrial revolution 4.0. This phenomenon becomes more apparent in developing countries, where globalization is unavoidable and the utilization of advanced technology becomes a necessity. Blended learning (BL) and student center learning (SCL) may become the means for students and lecturers to be active participants of the learning processes. The purpose of this paper is to present our effort in preparing students to be more confident, self-reliant, eager to compete and collaborate as well as to master new knowledge in the field they have chosen to study. Six samples of SCL classes and one sample of BL class are described. Quantitative and qualitative approaches were applied to measure the process of implementing the learning methods. Results indicate favorable outcomes. It is recommended to use BL since it will include SCL in the near future to all classes offered at UKRIDA.
Os Estudos de Gênero na Graduação em Psicologia: uma análise em Salvador, Bahia
Authors: Cannone Lara Araujo Roseira
Published: November 2018

Historicamente, a formação em Psicologia apresenta uma resistência em incorporar certas discussões, como os estudos de gênero, apesar de a produção acadêmica sobre a temática ter se intensificado desde a década de 1970. Em geral, este campo ainda não possui oficialização enquanto ciência nas universidades e pouca inserção nos cursos. Este artigo pretende discutir o espaço delimitado aos estudos de gênero nas graduações em Psicologia, situadas em Salvador, Bahia, especialmente a partir da análise das matrizes curriculares e da adscrição do corpo docente à temática de gênero. A partir disso, propõe-se a refletir sobre a capacidade de transformação social pela educação quando alinhada com as demandas socio-históricas e as suas implicações para o futuro da profissão, especialmente no que se refere à formação das próximas gerações de psicólogas e psicólogos.    

 
Oxum e Nossa Senhora Aparecida: africanidade brasileira, considerações de mito, gênero e religião
Authors: Missiatto Leandro Aparecido Fonseca , Missiatto Heverton Magno
Published: November 2018

No Brasil a cultura africana foi durante muito tempo tratada de forma pejorativa e preconceituosa. Embora erradicadas das grades curriculares das escolas, negada na mídia e nas políticas públicas, esteve sempre presente na vida dos brasileiros, seja na música, alimentação ou nas palavras do seu dia a dia. Este ensaio faz um paralelo entre os mitos sagrados de Oxum e Nossa Senhora Aparecida buscando verificar as questões de gênero e africanidade que estão envolvidos na expressão religiosa do Candomblé e Catolicismo. O ponto de partida deste estudo foi o pensamento mítico como conhecimento capaz de retratar uma cultura, sociedade e psiquê humana. Posteriormente abordamos os mitos de Oxum e Nossa Senhora Aparecida, seus sincretismos e expressões de gênero. Observou-se que as duas religiões, apesar de cultuarem a figura de mulheres negras, distinguem-se profundamente na sua relação com as mulheres afro-latinas.
Mestiçagem: uma categoria teórico-política para os feminismos latino-americanos – entrevista com María Luisa Femenías
Authors: Guzzo Morgani , Fonseca Inara
Published: November 2018

No primeiro quadrimestre de 2007, a filósofa feminista argentina María Luisa Femenías publicava o artigo Esbozo de un feminismo latinoamericano, onde constava o seguinte questionamento: existe um feminismo latino-americano? Dez anos depois, encontramos a filósofa durante o 13º Mundo de Mulheres & Seminário Internacional Fazendo Gênero 11, que aconteceu na Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, em Florianópolis, entre os dias 30 de julho e 04 de agosto de 2017, onde ela aceitou nos conceder esta entrevista. Nossa conversa versou sobre a atualidade de seu texto publicado em 2007, a importância de um pensamento e ação localizados e os desafios dos movimentos e das teorias feministas frente ao contexto de crise econômica e avanço de valores conservadores, principalmente nos países latino-americanos e caribenhos na contemporaneidade. Na conversa, Femenías retoma a potência da categoria mestiçagem como recurso teórico-político de coalisão entre as mulheres num momento em que a defesa dos processos democráticos exige a união. A filósofa também tratou sobre a importância dos saberes situados na construção de teorias feministas ancoradas nas múltiplas realidades. Além disso, falou das dificuldades de circulação das teorias feministas e dos estudos de gênero produzidos em contextos “do Sul” onde, pela geopolítica do conhecimento, estes campos e saberes ainda são subalternizados.
Estudos de Gênero nas Engenharias: uma etnografia da primeira disciplina de “Introdução aos Estudos de Gênero” ofertada na Escola Politécnica da Universidade Federal da Bahia
Authors: Sacramento Moreira Vitória , Silva Santos Caio Sérgio , Do Nascimento Santana Jaqueline
Published: November 2018

Esse artigo, fruto de trabalho etnográfico conduzido na Escola Politécnica da UFBA, em 2017, analisa a recepção das alunas e dos alunos de cursos das engenharias à disciplina de Introdução aos Estudos de Gênero (IEG). Ao contrário da maioria das disciplinas das engenharias, dominada por homens, a disciplina de IEG proporcionou um ambiente essencialmente feminino – e feminista – a esses estudantes. Como consequência, os estudantes homens tenderam a se mostrar mais acanhados em suas intervenções em sala e as estudantes mulheres, que a princípio disseram se sentir desconfortáveis com a dinâmica das aulas, ressaltaram a importância do curso para a formação profissional de diversas áreas. No geral, tanto estudantes homens quanto mulheres viram na disciplina de IEG uma oportunidade de exercitar habilidades, como a escrita e o pensamento crítico, que são negligenciadas em seus cursos porém importantes para a formação de bons cidadãos.

Published: November 2018

Solar photon‐to‐electron conversion with polymer solar cells (PSCs) has experienced rapid development in the recent few years. Even so, the exploration of molecules and devices in efficiently converting near‐infrared (NIR) photons into electrons remains critical, yet challenging. Herein presented is a family of near‐infrared nonfullerene acceptors (NIR NFAs, T1–T4) with fluorinated regioisomeric A–Aπ–D–Aπ–A backbones for constructing efficient single‐junction and tandem PSCs with photon response up to 1000 nm. It is found that the tuning of the regioisomeric bridge (Aπ) and fluoro (F)‐substituents on a molecular skeleton strongly influences the backbone conformation and conjugation, leading to the optimized optoelectronic and stable stacking of resultant NFAs, which eventually impacts the performance of derived PSCs. In PSCs, the proximal NFAs with varied F‐atoms (T1–T3) mostly outperform than that of distal NFA (T4). Notably, single‐junction PSC with PTB7‐Th:T2 blend can reach 10.87% power conversion efficiency (PCE), after implementing a solvent additive to improve blend morphology. Moreover, efficient tandem PSCs are fabricated through integrating such NIR cells with mediate bandgap nonfullerene‐based subcells, to achieve a PCE of 14.64%. The results reveal the structural design of organic semiconductor and device with improved photovoltaic performance.
Surface Plasmon Resonance‐Enhanced Visible‐NIR‐Driven Photocatalytic and Photothermal Catalytic Performance by Ag/Mesoporous Black TiO2 Nanotube Heterojunctions
Authors: Qiao Panzhe , Sun Bojing , Li Haoze , Pan Kai , Tian Guohui , Wang Lei , Zhou Wei
Published: November 2018

Ag/mesoporous black TiO2 nanotubes heterojunctions (Ag‐MBTHs) were fabricated through a surface hydrogenation, wet‐impregnation and photoreduction strategy. The as‐prepared Ag‐MBTHs possess a relatively high specific surface area of ≈85 m2 g−1 and an average pore size of ≈13.2 nm. The Ag‐MBTHs with a narrow band gap of ≈2.63 eV extend the photoresponse from UV to the visible‐light and near‐infrared (NIR) region. They exhibit excellent visible‐NIR‐driven photothermal catalytic and photocatalytic performance for complete conversion of nitro aromatic compounds (100 %) and mineralization of highly toxic phenol (100 %). The enhancement can be attributed to the mesoporous hollow structures increasing the light multi‐refraction, the Ti3+ in frameworks and the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of plasmonic Ag nanoparticles favoring light‐harvesting and spatial separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, which is confirmed by transient fluorescence. The fabrication of this SPR‐enhanced visible‐NIR‐driven Ag‐MBTHs catalyst may provide new insights for designing other high‐performance heterojunctions as photocatalytic and photothermal catalytic nanomaterials.

This paper seeks to contribute to the existing business strategy and the environment literature by examining the effect of governance structures on environmental performance within a unique context of improving environmental governance, policies, regulations, and management. Specifically, we investigate the extent to which corporate board gender diversity, including the proportion, age, and level of education of female directors, affects environmental performance of Chinese publicly listed corporations. Using one of the largest Chinese data sets to date, consisting of a sample of 383 listed A‐shares from 2011 to 2015 (i.e., observations of 1,674), our findings are threefold. First, we find that the proportion and age of female directors have a positive effect on the overall corporate environmental performance. Second, our findings indicate that the proportion and age of female directors also have a positive effect on the three individual environmental performance components, namely, environmental (a) strategy, (b) implementation, and (c) disclosure. Finally, and by contrast, we do not find any evidence that suggests that the level of education of female directors has any impact on environmental performance, neither the overall environmental performance measure nor its individual components. Our findings have important implication for regulators and policymakers. Our evidence is robust to controlling for alternative measures, other governance and firm‐level control variables, and possible endogeneities. We interpret our findings within a multitheoretical framework that draws insights from agency, legitimacy, neo‐institutional, resource dependence, stakeholder, and tokenism theoretical perspectives.

Polycyclic aromatic azomethine ylides (PAMYs) are powerful building blocks in the bottom‐up synthesis of internally nitrogen‐containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (N‐PAHs) through 1,3‐cycloaddition reactions. In this work, the cycloaddition reaction of PAMYs to asymmetric ortho‐quinones is presented, which, in contrast to the addition to symmetric para‐quinones, facilitates subsequent condensation reactions and allows the synthesis of three helical N‐PAHs with ullazine‐quinoxaline (UQ‐1–3) backbones. UQ‐1 and UQ‐2 possess two helical centers; however, single‐crystal X‐ray analysis together with the computational modeling of UQ‐3 elucidate the formation of only the thermodynamically most stable geometry with four helical centers in a (P,P,M,M) configuration. For the series UQ‐1–3, the number of redox steps is directly correlated with the number of ullazine or quinoxaline units incorporated into the targeted molecular backbones. A detailed investigation of the spectroscopic and magnetic properties of the radical cation and anion as well as the dication and dianion species by in situ EPR/UV/Vis‐NIR spectroelectrochemistry is provided. The excellent optical and redox properties combined with helical geometries render them possibly applicable as chiral emitter or ambipolar charge transport material in organic electronics.
Synthesis and Molecular Editing of Callyspongiolide, Part 1: The Alkyne Metathesis/trans‐Reduction Strategy

Published: November 2018

A path‐scouting investigation into the highly cytotoxic marine macrolide callyspongiolide is reported that capitalizes on the selective formation of the C10−C11 alkene site. While the closure of the macrocycle by ring closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) with the aid of a molybdenum alkylidyne complex was high yielding, the envisaged semi‐reduction of the cycloalkyne to the corresponding E‐alkene proved challenging. The reasons are likely steric in origin, in that the methyl branches on either side of the alkyne seem to prevent effective coordination of the substrate to the ruthenium catalyst, which must carry a bulky Cp* ligand to ensure high trans‐selectivity. This notion is supported by the preparation of a callyspongiolide analogue, in which the two methyl groups in question are excised; its formation by RCAM followed by trans‐hydrostannation/proto‐destannation was straightforward. In parallel work the formation of the fully functional building block 54 showed that the presence of an unprotected ‐OH group allows even hindered substrates to be processed: the protic group adjacent to the triple bond engages with a chloride ligand on the ruthenium catalyst in hydrogen bonding and hence assists in substrate binding. Moreover, the preparation of an alkynylogous callyspongiolide analogue is described.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the most commonly reported bloodborne infection in the United States, causing substantial morbidity and mortality and costing billions of dollars annually. To update the estimated HCV prevalence among all adults aged ≥18 years in the United States, we analyzed 2013‐2016 data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to estimate the prevalence of HCV in the noninstitutionalized civilian population and used a combination of literature reviews and population size estimation approaches to estimate the HCV prevalence and population sizes for four additional populations: incarcerated people, unsheltered homeless people, active‐duty military personnel, and nursing home residents. We estimated that during 2013‐2016 1.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4‐2.0%) of all adults in the United States, approximately 4.1 (3.4‐4.9) million persons, were HCV antibody‐positive (indicating past or current infection) and that 1.0% (95% CI, 0.8‐1.1%) of all adults, approximately 2.4 (2.0‐2.8) million persons, were HCV RNA–positive (indicating current infection). This includes 3.7 million noninstitutionalized civilian adults in the United States with HCV antibodies and 2.1 million with HCV RNA and an estimated 0.38 million HCV antibody‐positive persons and 0.25 million HCV RNA–positive persons not part of the 2013‐2016 NHANES sampling frame. Conclusion: Over 2 million people in the United States had current HCV infection during 2013‐2016; compared to past estimates based on similar methodology, HCV antibody prevalence may have increased, while RNA prevalence may have decreased, likely reflecting the combination of the opioid crisis, curative treatment for HCV infection, and mortality among the HCV‐infected population; efforts on multiple fronts are needed to combat the evolving HCV epidemic, including increasing capacity for and access to HCV testing, linkage to care, and cure.
Taxonomic and ecomorphological diversity of temnospondyl amphibians across the Permian–Triassic boundary in the Karoo Basin (South Africa)
Authors: Tarailo David A
Published: November 2018

Temnospondyl amphibians experienced a geologically brief interval of success in the wake of the end‐Permian mass extinction. This study examines the relationship between taxonomic and ecological diversity of temnospondyls across the Permian–Triassic boundary in the Karoo Basin of South Africa. Ecomorphological diversity, as implied by differences in cranial shape, was incorporated into the study by the use of a landmark‐based geometric morphometric analysis. Both taxonomic diversity and cranial disparity are low during the Permian and increase across the Permian–Triassic boundary. Taxonomic diversity is stable through the Triassic, but disparity shows subsequent increases during the Olenekian and Anisian. Temnospondyls are restricted in size immediately following the extinction, but size range fully rebounds by the Olenekian. Cranial shape is heavily influenced by phylogenetic relatedness, and the observed increases in disparity may be partly the result of decreases in the net relatedness of coeval Karoo stereospondylomorph temnospondyls in younger faunas. The increase in community level taxonomic diversity for temnospondyls in the Karoo following the end‐Permian mass extinction was likely facilitated by an influx of distantly related and ecologically distinct species.
Sequence and structural analysis of fibronectin‐binding protein reveals importance of multiple intrinsic disordered tandem repeats

Published: November 2018

The location of certain amino acid sequences like repeats along the polypeptide chain is very important in the context of forming the overall shape of the protein molecule which in fact determines its function. In gram‐positive bacteria, fibronectin‐binding protein (FnBP) is one such repeat containing protein, and it is a cell wall‐attached protein responsible for various acute infections in human. Several studies on sequence, structure, and function of fibronectin‐binding regions of FnBPs were reported; however, no detailed study was carried out on the full‐length protein sequence. In the present study, we have made a thorough sequence and structure analysis on FnBP_A of Staphylococcus aureus and explored the presence of dual ligand‐binding ability of fibrinogen (fg)‐binding region and its molecular recognition processes. Multiple sequence alignment and protein‐protein docking analysis reveal the regions which are likely involved in dual ligand binding. Further analysis of docking of FnBP_A fg‐binding region and fn N‐terminal modules suggests that if the latter binds to the fg‐binding region of FnBP_A, it would inhibit the subsequent binding of fg because of steric hindrance. The sequence analysis further suggests that the abundance of disorder promoting residue glutamic acid and dual personality (both order/disorder promoting) residue threonine in tandem repeats of FnBP_A and B proteins possibly would help the molecule to undergo a conformational change while binding with fn by β‐zipper mechanism. The segment‐based power spectral analysis was carried out which helps to understand the distribution of hydrophobic residues along the sequence particularly in intrinsic disordered tandem repeats. The results presented here will help to understand the role of internal repeats and intrinsic disorder in the molecular recognition process of a pathogenic cell surface protein.

Published: November 2018

A three‐dimensional unconditionally stable five‐step locally one‐dimensional finite‐difference time‐domain (LOD‐FDTD) method for anisotropic magnetized plasma medium is presented. Firstly, we search for a diagonal matrix to transform Maxwell coefficient matrix of plasma into skew symmetric matrix which is beneficial to analyze the properties of the proposed algorithm. Then, the detailed formula derivation and numerical stability analysis is presented. At last, the resonance frequency of a microwave cavity partially filled with a plasma slab and the rotation angle of an infinite plasma slab are simulated to verify the accuracy and stability of the proposed method. The effectiveness of the proposed method is further demonstrated by comparing with the three‐step LOD‐FDTD method.
