Novel Treatment For Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With Brain Metastases
Authors: Le Nha Uyen
Published: October 2020

Brain metastases is common in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and it is associated with poorer prognosis. Several options to control the secondary brain tumors in the context include chemotherapy, whole-brain radiation, stereotactic surgery, surgery. However, chemotherapy is ineffective to those patients because of poor penetration through the blood-brain barrier. Whole-brain radiation therapy used to be a standard option for brain metastases. However, it potentially damages normal brain tissues and causes neurocognitive decline. Stereotactic radiotherapy has been considered in cases of three or fewer lesions, and the lesions less than 3 cm. In selective cases, surgical removal of brain metastases can be done. These local therapies were accompanied by systemic treatment due to spreading of the cancer. Recently, molecular targeted therapy has opened up a new era in cancer treatment, especially NSCLC with brain metastases. In this review, we discuss brain metastases occurring in NSCLC patients with driver gene mutations with some briefly demonstrated cases.
Patients’ Needs In Breaking Bad News For Cancers Diagnosis: Preliminary Result
Authors: Dinh Ngoc Cuong
Published: October 2020

Introduction: How to perform a breaking bad news consultation properly with the present circumstances and especially it fits the local people. The way to deliver bad news to cancer patients was studied and practiced widely in the world. Some studies were conducted in Vietnam but not yet in central Vietnam. The people here are quite different in thinking and personality. Hence, they may need and expect consultation differently. The study was performed to note the needs of patients in the breaking bad news of cancer and to explore their own experience of giving bad news.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 44 cancer patients undergoing treatment at the Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy hospital in July 2020.

Results: Of 44 patients, The age average was 56.73. Male was more prevalent in the study with 61.4%. About 45.5% of patients expected to be explained in a private room and most of them desired to hear the truth at the same time with their family (68.2%), only 4.5% of patients wanted the bad news to be delivered only to their families. One hundred percent of patients preferred their oncologists to explain the bad news. More than 80% of patients wanted you received all at once. Patients were interested in getting information about the diagnosis of cancer, stage of cancer, cost of the treatment, treatment option to be selected and results of clinical studies were less important to them. They mostly wanted the truth to be delivered to them than to the family for most of the information contents given by the researchers.

Conclusions: Patients in the study wanted to know the truth but some information was more important than others according to them. They mostly satisfied with the breaking bad news that has been done.
Electron Temperature Anisotropy and Electron Beam Constraints from Electron Kinetic Instabilities in the Solar Wind
Authors: Sun Heyu , Zhao Jinsong , Liu Wen , Xie Huasheng , Wu Dejin
Published: October 2020

Electron temperature anisotropies and electron beams are nonthermal features of the observed nonequilibrium electron velocity distributions in the solar wind. In collision-poor plasmas these nonequilibrium distributions are expected to be regulated by kinetic instabilities through wave–particle interactions. This study considers electron instabilities driven by the interplay of core electron temperature anisotropies and the electron beam, and first gives a comprehensive analysis of instabilities in arbitrary directions to the background magnetic field. It clarifies the dominant parameter regime (e.g., parallel core electron plasma beta

, core electron temperature anisotropy

, and electron beam velocity V
eb) for each kind of electron instability (e.g., the electron beam-driven electron acoustic/magnetoacoustic instability, the electron beam-driven whistler instability, the electromagnetic electron cyclotron instability, the electron mirror instability, the electron firehose instability, and the ordinary-mode instability). It finds that the electron beam can destabilize electron acoustic/magnetoacoustic waves in the low-

regime, and whistler waves in the medium- and large-

regime. It also finds that a new oblique fast-magnetosonic/whistler instability is driven by the electron beam with

The Cosmic Thermal History Probed by Sunyaev–Zeldovich Effect Tomography
Authors: Chiang Yi-Kuan , Makiya Ryu , Ménard Brice , Komatsu Eiichiro
Published: October 2020

The cosmic thermal history, quantified by the evolution of the mean thermal energy density in the universe, is driven by the growth of structures as baryons get shock heated in collapsing dark matter halos. This process can be probed by redshift-dependent amplitudes of the thermal Sunyaev–Zeldovich (SZ) effect background. To do so, we cross-correlate eight sky intensity maps in the Planck and Infrared Astronomical Satellite missions with two million spectroscopic redshift references in the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys. This delivers snapshot spectra for the far-infrared to microwave background light as a function of redshift up to z ∼ 3. We decompose them into the SZ and thermal dust components. Our SZ measurements directly constrain

from 7 × 105 K at z = 1 to 2 × 106 K today. Over z = 1–0, we witness the build-up of nearly 70% of the present-day mean thermal energy density ρ
th, with the corresponding density parameter Ωth reaching 1.5 × 10−8. We find the mass bias parameter of Planck's universal pressure profile of B = 1.27 (or 1 − b = 1/B = 0.79), consistent with the magnitude of nonthermal pressure in gas motion and turbulence from mass assembly. We estimate the redshift-integrated mean Compton parameter y ∼ 1.2 × 10−6, which will be tested by future spectral distortion experiments. More than half originates from the large-scale structure at z < 1, which we detect directly.
Supernova Interaction with a Dense Detached Shell in SN 2001em
Authors: Chandra Poonam , Chevalier Roger A. , Chugai Nikolai , Milisavljevic Dan , Fransson Claes
Published: October 2020

We carry out a comprehensive analysis of supernova SN 2001em covering a period of 19 yr since discovery. SN 2001em is the oldest supernova known to have undergone a metamorphosis from a stripped envelope to an interacting supernova. An early spectrum indicates it exploded as a Type Ib supernova. Later, the ejecta caught up with a dense circumstellar H-shell, ejected a few thousand years before the explosion, triggering interaction between the supernova ejecta and the dense shell, producing radio, X-ray, and Hα emission. We use archival data with the Very Large Array in radio bands and with Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Swift-XRT in X-ray bands, along with published Hα measurements. We combine these data with our low radio frequency observations with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope at two epochs covering three frequencies. While the observations missed the phase when the shock entered the dense shell, the X-rays indicate that the shock came out of the dense shell at around 1750 days. The data suggest a forward shock origin of the X-ray emission. Radio data show a spectral inversion at late epochs (

days) at around 3 GHz, which mimics the properties of the central absorbed component seen in SN 1986J. A possible explanation for this component is that the progenitor of SN 2001em was a massive binary system that had undergone a period of common-envelope evolution. The hydrogen envelope from the SN 2001em progenitor may have been lost as a result of binary interaction.
Mapping the Escape Fraction of Ionizing Photons Using Resolved Stars: A Much Higher Escape Fraction for NGC 4214

Published: October 2020

We demonstrate a new method for measuring the escape fraction of ionizing photons using Hubble Space Telescope imaging of resolved stars in NGC 4214, a local analog of high-redshift starburst galaxies that are thought to be responsible for cosmic reionization. Specifically, we forward model the UV through near-IR spectral energy distributions of ∼83,000 resolved stars to infer their individual ionizing flux outputs. We constrain the local escape fraction by comparing the number of ionizing photons produced by stars to the number that are either absorbed by dust or consumed by ionizing the surrounding neutral hydrogen in individual star-forming regions. We find substantial spatial variation in the escape fraction (0%–40%). Integrating over the entire galaxy yields a global escape fraction of

%. This value is much higher than previous escape fractions of zero reported for this galaxy. We discuss the sources of this apparent tension and demonstrate that the viewing angle and 3D interstellar medium geometric effects are the cause. If we assume that NGC 4214 has no internal dust, like many high-redshift galaxies, we find an escape fraction of 59% (an upper limit for NGC 4214). This is the first nonzero escape fraction measurement for UV-faint (M

FUV

 = −15.9) galaxies at any redshift and supports the idea that starburst UV-faint dwarf galaxies can provide a sufficient number of ionizing photons to the intergalactic medium.
Local Simulations of Heating Torques on a Luminous Body in an Accretion Disk
Authors: Hankla Amelia M. , Jiang 姜燕 Yan-Fei 飞 , Armitage Philip J.
Published: October 2020

A luminous body embedded in an accretion disk can generate asymmetric density perturbations that lead to a net torque and thus orbital migration of the body. Linear theory has shown that this heating torque gives rise to a migration term linear in the body’s mass that can oppose or even reverse that arising from the sum of gravitational Lindblad and co-orbital torques. We use high-resolution local three-dimensional shearing sheet simulations of a zero-mass test particle in an unstratified disk to assess the accuracy and domain of applicability of the linear theory. We find agreement between analytic and simulation results to better than 10% in the low-luminosity, low thermal conductivity regime but measure deviations in both the nonlinear (high-luminosity) and high thermal conductivity regimes. In the nonlinear regime, linear theory overpredicts the acceleration due to the heating torque, potentially due to the neglect of nonlinear terms in the heat flux. In the high thermal conductivity regime, linear theory underpredicts the acceleration, which scales with a power-law index of −1 rather than −3/2, although here both nonlinear and computational constraints play a role. We discuss the impact of the heating torque for the evolution of low-mass planets in protoplanetary disks and massive stars or accreting compact objects embedded in active galactic nucleus disks. For the latter case, we show that the thermal torque is likely to be the dominant physical effect at disk radii where the optical depth drops below

Biodiversity Climate Shifts: shaping data transformation and evaluation
Authors: Costa Wilian , Giannini Tereza , Saraiva Antonio
Published: October 2020

Ecosystem services provided by biodiversity are associated with supporting life on the planet. Climate change has negatively impacted biodiversity, altering the phenology and geographical distribution of species and the interaction between them. In megadiverse areas, such as tropical forests, studies of species interactions that consider all the species of flora and fauna are not feasible due to our limited knowledge of biodiversity and the necessity of extensive and costly fieldwork. Instead, Species Distribution Modelling (SDM) techniques can be used, together with other species information (e.g., pollination syndrome) as a proxy for these interactions to estimate spatial patterns of potential distribution dynamics. In this study, we modeled our process steps to obtain the estimated future climate shifts and identification of climatically stable areas over time. These areas may represent climatic refuges and future actions to increase the connectivity between them are strategies that could help mitigate potential future damage for biodiversity conservation. Our resulting evaluation data processing flow originated from our group process analysis applied to the Carajás region (Brazil) in which we identified the probable losses of nectarivorous bat species (pollinators), on the order of 66% (Costa et al. 2018); nectarivorous birds, on the order of 60% (Miranda et al. 2019); and bees, on the order of 85% (Giannini et al. 2020) until 2050. Our process, described using the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is represented in Fig. 1. Our group is preparing a data paper with all of our generated data and programs/libraries to be released as soon as possible.
The “minute diving beetles” of southern Australia – taxonomic revision of Gibbidessus Watts, 1978, with description of six new species (Coleoptera, Dytiscidae, Bidessini)
Authors: Hendrich Lars , Watts Chris H.S. , Balke Michael
Published: October 2020

Morphology and mitochondrial DNA sequence data are used to reassess the taxonomy of Australian diving beetles previously assigned to the genera Uvarus Guignot, 1939 and Gibbidessus Watts, 1978. Gibbidessus was described as a monotypic genus for Gibbidessus chipi Watts, 1978. The genus is significantly extended here. Based on molecular systematic evidence, Uvarus pictipes (Lea, 1899) is transferred to Gibbidessus. Gibbidessus chipi and Gibbidessus pictipescomb. nov. are redescribed, and six new species are described: Gibbiddessus atomussp. nov. (SW Australia, Northcliffe area) [the smallest epigean diving beetle in Australia], G. davidisp. nov. (SW Australia), G. drikdrikensissp. nov. (Victoria), G. kangarooensissp. nov. (SA Kangaroo Island), G. pederzaniisp. nov. (SW Australia, Nannup area), and G. rottnestensissp. nov. (SW Australia). Species are delineated using characters such as male genital structure and beetle size, shape and colour pattern. Mitochondrial Cox1 data for 27 individuals, representing five species, were generated, and revealed clusters congruent with the morphological evidence. Gibbidessus occur in southern Australia, with the centre of diversification in the isolated peat- and wetlands of SW Australia. All species occur in very shallow water of seasonal, exposed or half-shaded wetlands and flooded meadows.
A new species of the genus Smacigastes Ivanenko & Defaye, 2004 (Tegastidae, Harpacticoida, Copepoda) from the Onnuri Vent Field in the Indian Ocean
Authors: Kim Jong Guk , Lee Jimin
Published: October 2020

The genus Smacigastes Ivanenko & Defaye, 2004 (Harpacticoida, Copepoda) is the most primitive genus in the family Tegastidae Sars, 1904, occurring in deep-sea chemosynthetic environments, such as hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, whale falls and wood falls. Our exploration of the Onnuri Vent Field, the sixth active hydrothermal vent system in the Central Indian Ridge, resulted in the discovery of a new species in the genus Smacigastes. A detailed morphological analysis of S. pumilasp. nov. reveals that it most resembles S. barti Gollner, Ivanenko & Martínez Arbizu, 2008, described from a hydrothermal vent in the East Pacific Ridge; the new species can be distinguished from the existing species by the 8-segmented female antennule, the absence of an abexopodal seta on the antennary basis, the mandibular exopod represented by a single seta and the exopod of the first leg with five setae. This is the first record of Smacigastes in the Indian Ocean. A dichotomous key to species of the genus Smacigastes worldwide is provided.

Le canon, contingence et provocation. En dialogue avec Hans-Christoph Askani
Authors: Gisel Pierre
Published: October 2020

Le fait canonique est aujourd’hui peu compris. Au profit de ce qui, historiquement, se tient en amont. Or il n’y a pas de tradition sans canon, et pas non plus de canon sans une tradition qui le précède et en répond, fut-ce sur mode critique. Tout canon est inscrit dans une histoire et y ouvre une perspective, mais la doxa contemporaine tend à en récuser le moment. L’illustre le fait qu’on substitue, sans réflexion spécifique, Bible hébraïque à Ancien Testament , deux ensembles qui ne présentent pas la même disposition – non sans différence symbolique et théologique forte –, ou qu’on substitue Premier et Second à Ancien et Nouveau Testaments, un geste qui ne peut qu’entraîner une modification théologique lourde, le plus souvent non aperçue. Après avoir explicité son accord avec ce que Hans-Christoph Askani met en avant et ouvre en matière de fait canonique, Pierre Gisel marque une divergence, à penser, touchant une vérité en forme de renvoi au Christ ou une vérité en forme de texte.

Pentacam Scheimpflug Tomography Findings in Chinese Patients With Different Corneal Diameters
Authors: Ding Lan , Wang Jifang , Niu Lingling , Shi Wanru , Qian Yishan
Published: October 2020

PURPOSE:

To investigate the Pentacam (Oculus Optikgeräte) Scheimpflug tomography findings in Chinese patients with different corneal diameters.

METHODS:

This prospective cross-sectional study included candidates for correction of myopia with normal tomography (ABCD keratoconus grading system, stage 0). The participants were grouped according to their horizontal corneal diameters. Pentacam ectasia detection indices were compared between different corneal diameter–based groups.

RESULTS:

A total of 643 eyes were included (corneal diameter ⩽ 11 mm, n = 206; 11 to 12 mm, n = 219; ⩾ 12 mm, n = 218). The corneal powers and the thinnest pachymetry were negatively correlated with corneal diameter (linear regression analysis,
P
< .001). However, the corneal astigmatism was positively correlated with corneal diameter (
R
2
= 0.03,
P
< .001). Both the front (FE) and back (BE) elevations were negatively correlated with corneal diameter (FE:
R
2
= 0.027,
P
< .001; BE: R
2
= 0.274,
P
< .001). The three pachymetric progression indices (PPI) (minimum, maximum, and average) were negatively correlated with corneal diameter (PPImin:
R
2
= 0.164,
P
< .001; PPImax:
R
2
= 0.06,
P
< .001; PPIavg:
R
2
= 0.158,
P
< .001). The maximum Ambrósio's relational thickness (ARTmax) also was positively correlated with corneal diameter (
R
2
= 0.031,
P
< .001). Five normalized indices were negatively correlated with corneal diameter (deviation of normality of the front elevation [Df]:
R
2
= 0.122,
P
< .001; deviation of normality of the back elevation [Db]:
R
2
= 0.47,
P
< .001; deviation of normality of pachymetric progression [Dp]:
R
2
= 0.159,
P
< .001; deviation of normality of relational thickness [Da]:
R
2
= .031,
P
< .001; Belin/Ambrósio Enhanced Ectasia display:
R
2
= 0.32,
P
< .001) and Dt was positively correlated with corneal diameter (
R
2
= 0.015,
P
= .002). Additionally, it was noted that corneal diameter had the greatest influence on Db, Belin/Ambrósio Enhanced Ectasia display (BAD-D), and BE.

CONCLUSIONS:

Corneal diameter has an influence on the BAD parameters, especially Db, BAD-D, and BE, and therefore should be incorporated as an additional variable in BAD analysis. The analytical dimensions should be individualized for eyes with individual corneal diameter.

Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments Implantation and Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty for Coexisting Keratoconus and Fuchs Endothelial Dystrophy
Authors: Bertino Pedro , Magalhães Renata Soares , Criado Guilherme Garcia , Novais Gustavo Amorim , Ambrósio Renato , Santhiago Marcony R.
Published: October 2020

PURPOSE:

To report two cases of coexisting keratoconus and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy treated with intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) implantation and Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).

METHODS:

Two patients with coexisting keratoconus and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy underwent ICRS implantation and DMEK, in a two-stage procedure. Follow-up evaluation included Scheimpflug tomography and optical coherence tomography.

RESULTS:

In both cases, ICRS implantation improved corneal topography and DMEK restored normal corneal thickness. Corrected distance visual acuity improved from 20/100 to 20/30 and from 20/60 to 20/25. Urrets-Zavalía syndrome was diagnosed in one case and addressed with colored contact lens fitting.

CONCLUSIONS:

Low vision resulting from coexisting keratoconus and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy might be addressed more selectively with posterior lamellar keratoplasty and ICRS implantation. Urrets-Zavalía syndrome must be considered a possible complication after DMEK, especially in patients with keratoconus.

On the diffusion of the Improved Generalized Feistel
Authors: Baicheva Tsonka , Topalova Svetlana
Published: October 2020

We consider the Improved Generalized Feistel Structure (IGFS) suggested by Suzaki and Minematsu (LNCS, 2010). It is a generalization of the classical Feistel cipher. The message is divided into \begin{document}$ k $\end{document} subblocks, a Feistel transformation is applied to each pair of successive subblocks, and then a permutation of the subblocks follows. This permutation affects the diffusion property of the cipher. IGFS with relatively big \begin{document}$ k $\end{document} and good diffusion are of particular interest for light weight applications.

Suzaki and Minematsu (LNCS, 2010) study the case when one and the same permutation is applied at each round, while we consider IGFS with possibly different permutations at the different rounds. In this case we present permutation sequences yielding IGFS with the best known by now diffusion for all even \begin{document}$ k\le 2048 $\end{document}. For \begin{document}$ k\le 16 $\end{document} they are found by a computer-aided search, while for \begin{document}$ 18\le k\le 2048 $\end{document} we first consider several recursive constructions of a permutation sequence for \begin{document}$ k $\end{document} subblocks from two permutation sequences for \begin{document}$ k_a< k $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ k_b< k $\end{document} subblocks respectively. Using computer, we apply these constructions to obtain permutation sequences with good diffusion for each even \begin{document}$ k\le 2048 $\end{document}. Finally we obtain infinite families of permutation sequences for \begin{document}$ k>2048 $\end{document}.
Uniform stability in a vectorial full Von Kármán thermoelastic system with solenoidal dissipation and free boundary conditions
Authors: Lebiedzik Catherine
Published: October 2020

We will consider the full von Kármán thermoelastic system with free boundary conditions and dissipation imposed only on the in-plane displacement. It will be shown that the corresponding solutions are exponentially stable, though there is no mechanical dissipation on the vertical displacements. The main tools used are: (i) partial analyticity of the linearized semigroup and (ii) trace estimates which exploit the hidden regularity harvested from partial analyticity.
Stability rate of a thermoelastic laminated beam: Case of equal-wave speed and nonequal-wave speed of propagation
Authors: Mukiawa Soh E. , Apalara Tijani A. , Messaoudi Salim A.
Published: October 2020

In this article, we investigate a one-dimensional thermoelastic laminated beam system with viscoelastic dissipation on the effective rotation angle and through heat conduction in the interfacial slip equations. Under general conditions on the relaxation function and the relationship between the coefficients of the wave propagation speed of the first two equations, we show that the solution energy has an explicit and general decay rate from which the exponential and polynomial stability are just particular cases. Moreover, we establish a weaker decay result in the case of non-equal wave of speed propagation and give some examples to illustrate our results. This new result improves substantially many other results in the literature.

Značilnosti ustroja skladenjskih podatkovv splošnih eno-jezičnih slovarjih so izhodišče za obravnavo načina njihovega prikaza v slovenskih slovarjih knjižnega jezika in za oceno njihovega vpliva na narečno slovaropisje. Sondažna razčlemba eksplicitnih in implicitnih skladenjskih podatkov v slovenskih narečnih slovarjih pa je namenjena opredelitvi tistih prvin, ki so posebnost narečnega slova-ropisja (in v veliki meri tudi slovaropisja govorjenega jezika).
Sujeitas públicas, narrativas anônimas : Espacializando o medo e a (im)permanência da mulher no âmbito urbano em Maceió/AL – Brasil
Authors: Lyra Júlia de Freitas Correia
Published: October 2020

Historicamente estruturada para (e por) homens, a cidade – compreendida enquanto agente ativo na (re)produção das relações sociais – é ordenada a partir da dicotomia homem-público x mulher-privado. O artigo traz uma leitura da posição social da mulher na cidade e, partindo do pressuposto de que as disparidades de gênero produzem experiências urbanas distintas para homens e mulheres, busca apontar quais (e como) são os espaços de medo que não são vivenciados plenamente pelo público feminino. Para tal, o estudo apoiou-se na coleta de autonarrativas de usuárias do bairro da Jatiúca (Maceió/AL – Brasil) através da aplicação de mecanismos de escuta anônima, produzindo um esboço comparativo das experiências descritas. Os resultados demonstram não somente as especificidades da vivência da mulher, como também a multiplicidade das experiências dessas sujeitas distintas entre si – ilustrando a urgência de repensarmos os espaços públicos para garantir a autonomia das mulheres em estruturas urbanas.

Reducing livestock negative environmental impacts get great interest in last years. So, present study was carried out to determine the effect of adding different levels of mixture of thyme and celery versus salinomycin on ruminal fermentation, gas production, dry, organic matter and fiber degradation. Four experimental treatments were used by in-vitro batch culture technique, as follow: 60% CFM, 40% clover hay (control), control diet + 2.5 gm thyme + 2.5 gm celery kg-1 DM (T1), control diet + 5 gm thyme + 5 gm celery kg-1 DM (T2), control diet + 10 gm thyme + 10 gm celery kg-1 DM (T3), control diet + 0.4 gm Salinomycin kg-1 DM (T4). Ruminal pH value was significantly increased (p < 0.05) with T4 compared with other treatments. While, the T4 recorded the lowest value (p < 0.05) for microbial protein, short chain fatty acids concentrations (SCFA), total gas production, dry matter and organic matter degradability (DMd and OMd) compared with other treatments. Fiber fraction degradability (NDFd and ADFd) appeared no significant variance (p > 0.05) between control and other treatments except for T1 that recorded the lowest value (p < 0.05). It is concluded that mixture of thyme plus celery could be alternate for ionophores in the ruminant diets to enhance ruminal fermentation, reducing gas production without any negative effect on nutrients degradability.

This study was designed to examine the protective effects of nano-selenium and nano-zinc oxide on queen and workers performance under heat stress condition and gene expression of heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) as an index of heat tolerance. Sixty colonies were randomly assigned to five treatments with 12 replicates from June until early September. Sugar syrup (50%) containing no supplement or nano-selenium at levels of 50 and 100 µg L-1 or nano-zinc at levels of 100 and 200 µg L-1 was fed to colonies. Nano-selenium supplementations had no effect, but nano-zinc at level of 100 µg L-1 significantly decreased body malondialdehyde concentration. The highest bee population was seen in nano-zinc at level of 100 µg L-1 and the lowest one in control group. The lowest and the highest body weight, fat and protein deposition was found in group received nano-zinc at level of 100 µg L-1 and control, respectively. The highest gene expression was for group received nano-zinc at level of 100 µg L-1 In group received nano-zinc at level of 100 µg L-1, an increase in hsp70 gene expression was found. In conclusion, nano-zinc oxide at level of 100 µg L-1 could increase queen and worker performance and heat resistance of bees in the hot climate condition.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of soybean meal replacement by slow-release urea on feed intake, ruminal parameters, blood metabolites, dry matter, nutrients digestion, and microbial protein synthesis (MPS) in ram. Rams were used for four 21-day periods. The experimental design was a 4×4 Latin square design. The experiment has consisted of the following four rations: 1) basic diet with soybean meal as a protein source, 2) basic diet with soybean meal plus 0.5 % of DM slow-release urea (SRU), 3) basic diet with soybean meal plus 1 % of DM SRU, and 4) basic diet with soybean meal plus 1.5 % of SRU, respectively. Soybean meal replacement by SRU decreased ruminal ammonia and blood urea. SRU increase in diets significantly increased acetic acid 3 hours after morning feeding, blood glucose, total purine, uric acid excretion, microbial nitrogen, and microbial protein. The results showed that soybean meal replacement by SRU sources had no negative effect on rams performance.

The objective was to evaluate sowing density influence on hydroponic corn fodder bromatological composition, harvested in different ages raised on grass mix substrate. The experimental design used was completely randomized with six replications for each treatment, using 2.0 m² plots (1.0 x 2.0 m). The densities were distributed into factorial array (4x4), consisting in four sowing densities (1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 kg m-²) and four cutting ages (10, 15, 20 and 25 days). The dry matter content (DMC) and production (DMP) and crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), Fiber neutral detergent (FND) and ethereal extract (EE) were analyzed each cutting age. In terms of DMP (kg m-²), EE (%) and DMC (kg m-²), it is recommended to use the density 1.0 kg m-² with cutting age of 25 days. Regarding CP (%) the best result was at 15 days of cut and density 2.5 kg m-² and the values for FND (%) and ADF (%) were higher at 25 days at 2.0 kg density 2,0 kg m-². The choice of both best harvesting age and density will depend on what is desired of the nutritional forage (CP, EE, NDF, ADF, DMC and DMP) as well its destination, since very close values were found in all analyzes, regardless of density and age of harvest analyzed.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between the level of fiber and its action period in diets to laying hens on performance and egg quality. 180 Hisex white hens (65 weeks-old) were randomly allocated to 3 groups of 60 birds each, comprising 10 replicates of six birds per treatment. The experimental design was factorial scheme considering three levels of fiber (2.50, 4.87 and 7.24%) in birds’ diets, and three action periods of this fiber (short - 21 days, medium - 56 days, and long - 105 days) in the feed. The estimates of treatments were firstly subjected to ANOVA and a subsequent Tukey test at 5%. Birds fed diets with moderate levels of fiber (4.87%) presented better (p < 0.05) performance. High levels of fiber caused a significant reduction in performance. Birds fed diets with low and moderate levels of fiber produced eggs with better (p < 0.05) quality. High levels of fiber caused a significant reduction in egg quality. The exposure of birds to diets with fiber for long-term caused a negative effect (p < 0.05) on performance, egg weight and percentage of its main structures, albumen height, yolk height, eggshell thickness, and the specific gravity.
Vico e a objeção moral dirigida a Francis Bacon no De ratione
Authors: Bassi Romana
Published: October 2020

A homenagem a Francis Bacon com que Vico abre o De ratione (1709) fez passar por alto o teor da crítica que Vico dirige a Bacon nessa obra. No meu artigo, sustenta-se que, diferentemente das recentes polêmicas que tiveram por objeto a obra baconiana, a vexatio naturae estigmatizada por Vico não é tanto motivada pela objeção à violência exercida sobre a natureza, mas visa sobretudo a negar a plausibilidade mesma dos desiderata baconianos e a invalidar o projeto de regnum hominis, recorrendo a fórmulas precisas dos textos baconianos. Dessa crítica dirigida a Francis Bacon, não aparecem outros ecos nas posteriores obras de Vico. Pelo contrário, no De mente heroica (1732), Vico subscreve plenamente a exaltação baconiana da noção heroica de conhecimento.
O acerrimus Malebrancius. Vico, o De antiquissima italorum sapientia e Malebranche
Authors: Cerchiai Geri
Published: October 2020

Este artigo analisa a contribuição do pensamento de Malebranche para a formação da metafísica de Vico, tal como apresentada no De antiquissima italorum sapientia. Particularmente, a comparação com a filosofia de Malebranche permite a Vico especificar três temas fundamentais: a redução do cogito cartesiano à função da consciência; a explanação do conceito de animi mens; a determinação das possibilidades e dos limites do nosso conhecimento.

Heavy metal-resistant bacteria can be efficient bioremediators of metals and might provide an alternative method for metal removal in contaminated environments. The present study aims to isolate bacteria from the aquatic environment and evaluate their potential tolerance to copper metal, aiming at bioremediation processes. Also, compare co-resistance to heavy metal and antibiotics. The morphology of isolates was observed, and sequence analysis (16S ribosomal DNA) revealed that isolated strains were closely related to species belonging to the genera Enterococcus and Bacillus. Bacterial isolates were resistant to CuSO4, with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.78 mg ml-1. Enterococcus lactis was resistant to a combination of copper and tetracycline. The other tested isolates were sensitive to the tested antimicrobials. The metal removal ability of these isolates was assayed using atomic absorption spectroscopy, and the strains 27, 23, and E. lactis were best at removing heavy metals, at 87.7%. Enterococcus casseliflavus EC55 was 62%, followed by Bacillus aerius (18.4%), E. casseliflavus EC70 (10%) and Bacillus licheniformis (10%). Based on our findings, Enterococcus sp and Bacillus sp. have potential applications in enhanced remediation of contaminated environments.
Generalized ridge estimators adapted in structural equation models

Multicollinearity is detected via regression models, where independent variables are strongly correlated. Since they entail linear relations between observed or latent variables, the structural equation models (SEM) are subject to the multicollinearity effect, whose numerous consequences include the singularity between the inverse matrices used in estimation methods. Given to this behavior, it is natural to understand that the suitability of these estimators to structural equation models show the same features, either in the simulation results that validate the estimators in different multicollinearity degrees, or in their application to real data. Due to the multicollinearity overview arose from the fact that the matrices inversion is impracticable, the usage of numerical procedures demanded by the maximum likelihood methods leads to numerical singularity problems. An alternative could be the use of the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method, however, it is demanded that the observed variables are built by assuming a positive correlation with the latent variable. Thus, theoretically, it is expected that the load signals are positive, however, there are no restrictions to these signals in the algorithms used in the PLS method. This fact implies in corrective areas, such as the observed variables removal or new formulations of the theoretical model. In view of this problem, this paper aimed to propose adaptations of six generalized ridge estimators as alternative methods to estimate SEM parameters. The conclusion is that the evaluated estimators presented the same performance in terms of accuracy, precision while considering the scenarios represented by model without specification error and model with specification error, different levels of multicollinearity and sample sizes.

Emulsifying properties of oil in water emulsions using quail egg white protein (Coturnix coturnix japonica) as an emulsifying agent were investigated using the conductivity technique. Changes in emulsion conductivity were recorded during and after homogenization. The results were interpreted in terms of properties related to the emulsifying activity and emulsion stability. The effect of salt concentrations (NaCl) of 0.0, 0.29, 0.59, 1.17, 1.76, and 2.34% (w v-1) when mixed with egg white concentrations of 0.50, 1.00 and 1.50% (w v-1) were studied using corn and soybean vegetable oils. Globally, one observed that emulsifying activity and emulsion stability increase with the enhancement of salt concentration. However, the increase of the egg white concentration did not present a significant influence on emulsifying activity, causing an increment only in emulsion stability.
