Alkali Metal Katkılı ZnO Malzemesinin Üretimi ve Karakterizasyonu
Authors: Aydın Ünal Fatma
Published: July 2024

Boyaya duyarlı güneş pilinin (BDGP) temel elemanlarından biri fotoanot malzemeleridir. Fotoanot malzemeleri arasında en yaygın kullanılan yarı iletken malzemeler arasında çinko oksit (ZnO) yer almaktadır. ZnO'nun düşük maliyetli olması, toksik olmaması, doğada bol miktarda bulunması, çevre dostu olması, mükemmel kimyasal ve mekanik stabilite gibi avantajları vardır. Ayrıca ZnO, yaklaşık 3,37 eV'lik doğrudan bant genişliği nedeniyle yaygın olarak kullanılmakta ve önemli bir yarı iletken fotokatalizör olarak tanınmaktadır. Bu çalışmada 1A grubu alkali metallerden biri olan potasyum (K) alkali metal katkılı ZnO (K/ZnO) tozu sol-jel metoduna göre sentezlenmiştir. Elde edilen tozun yapısal özelliği XRD, kimyasal, morfolojik özellikleri SEM/EDX ve optik özellikleri UV-Vis analizleriyle karakterize edilmiştir. UV absorpsiyon sonuçları, %10 mol K katkılı ZnO’nun optik enerji bant aralığının direkt ve indirekt olarak sırasıyla 1,61 eV ve 1,56 eV olarak elde edildiğini göstermiş olup hem literatürdeki saf ZnO hem de K katkılı ZnO örneği ile karşılaştırıldığında potasyum katkısının optik enerji bant aralığı değerini düşürdüğü gözlenmiştir.
The Demand for Real Money Balances in Zimbabwe: An Error Correction Estimation
Authors: Mverecha Joseph
Published: July 2024

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to examine the stability of the money demand function in Zimbabwe. Understanding, the money demand function is a prerequisite for effective monetary policy formulation and understanding the monetary transmission process and shocks propagation in the economy.
Materials and Methods: The study employs the error correction modeling methodology to investigate the money demand function for Zimbabwe using quarterly data from 2017q2 – 2023q2. The analysis is expanded to characterize the monetary transmission mechanism following a shock to the price level and how the demand for real money balances responds to both single period and multiple shocks.
Findings: The findings confirm a stable long run money demand function that is subject to short run dynamics. In addition, real money demand responds positively to real GDP (Scale factor) and inversely related to the price level (inflation).  Short term dynamics (particularly inflation expectations) compound real money demand collapse in response to rising inflation.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Monetary Policy must aim to collapse inflation expectations through a tight monetary control program and a functioning interbank market for foreign exchange to avoid surging parallel market activity.
Diagnostic features of rutile and cassiterite from heavy mineral concentrate samples, according to the IR microscopy data
Authors: Khachatryan Galina , Anashkina Natalia
Published: July 2024

Based on the study of rutile and cassiterite grains, using Fourier transform infrared microscopy, a new method for their determination in heavy mineral concentrate samples has been developed. The natural vibrations of the crystal lattice of these minerals are predominantly inactive in the infrared spectrum, which complicates their identification. Rutile is proposed to be determined by the absorption band ~ 1062 cm-1; and cassiterite, by the lines 1059–1065, ~ 1130, 1217–1220, and 1366–1373 cm-1. The characteristic absorption bands in the region of 3200–3400 cm-1, associated with vibrations of OH defects in the crystal lattice of these minerals, have been shown to be of particular importance for the diagnosis of rutile and cassiterite. Structural hydroxyl groups in the spectra are manifested in rutile by a line at about 3279–3283 cm-1; and in cassiterite, by lines at about 3254–3259 cm-1, ~ 3343 and ~ 3377 cm-1.
Ibn Hazm: Bridging Philosophy and History
Authors: Raouf Shaban Ismael
Published: July 2024

This paper explores the significant contributions of Ibn Hazm (994-1064 CE), a polymath from Andalusia, to both philosophy and history, emphasizing his unique interdisciplinary approach. Renowned for his profound engagement with various fields of knowledge, Ibn Hazm made substantial advances in philosophical thought, particularly in logic, ethics, and theology, while also revolutionizing historical methodology. This study examines his major works, thematic concerns, and the integration of his philosophical insights into his historiographical practice. Key works such as “The Ring of the Dove” (Tawq al-Hamamah) and “Al-Fisal fi al-Milal wa al-Ahwa wa al-Nihal” are analyzed to illustrate his methodological rigor and commitment to a literalist interpretation of religious texts. The paper also discusses Ibn Hazm’s influence on subsequent Islamic thought and his legacy in both philosophy and historiography. Through an in-depth analysis, this study highlights Ibn Hazm’s enduring impact on Islamic intellectual traditions, his methodological innovations in history, and the relevance of his interdisciplinary approach in contemporary scholarship.

Authors: Surender Singh Malik  , Dr. Vishnu Dev Gupta
Published: July 2024

It is essential to have access to safe drinking water, particularly in rural regions where groundwater is the primary water source. The physicochemical quality of the groundwater in Jind District, Haryana, India, has been evaluated in this research. Six hundred samples were collected from thirty different places, and the following physiochemical characteristics were measured: pH, total dissolved solids, total hardness, alkalinity, electrical conductivity, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, nitrate, fluoride, and sulfate. The World Health Organization, the Bureau of Indian Standards, the Indian Council of Medical Research, and other regulatory bodies' standards were compared to these results. Most of the necessary criteria were found to be within acceptable levels; however, total hardness, calcium, and magnesium were found to be greater than recommended in certain areas. The Water Quality Index states that the declining quality of the groundwater in certain areas makes it unfit for human consumption. In addition to providing critical information to assist mitigation measures and ensure the provision of sustainable and clean water resources for the population of the Jind district in the state of Haryana, this research highlights the need of regular monitoring

NUEVA GESTIÓN PÚBLICA Y TENDENCIAS DE MANEJO DEL CAPITAL HUMANO EN EL SECTOR ESTATAL
Authors: Ponce Erik
Published: July 2024

Con el objetivo de identificar las tendencias actuales de gestión del capital humano en el sector estatal a través de la nueva gestión pública, el enfoque del paradigma cualitativo de este estudio tiene como fundamento la fenomenología, por lo que se estructuró una investigación no experimental, documental, transeccional en el tipo ex post facto, utilizado para describir, diferenciar o examinar asociaciones, en vez de buscar relaciones directas entre variables, grupos o situaciones. Entre los resultados se presentaron en forma comparativa los cambios realizados por el Ejecutivo, en cuanto a la disposición de los servidores públicos para cargos conexos al Estado y a la función pública, de acuerdo con las modificaciones que van desde la Constitución de 1904 hasta la de 1972, concluyendo que, en las organizaciones públicas existen marcos normativos que indican los procedimientos de gestión del capital humano, y en la práctica no son tomados en cuenta por los responsables de las instituciones.

El consumo del combustible como el fuel oil marino (MFO), como una consecuencia del aumento de la flota mundial, ha aumentado provocando un gran impacto ambiental tales como la provocación de la acidificación de los océanos, la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero, afectando el equilibrio en el cambio climático. Los Buques que han aumentado de tamaño y luego así sus maquinarias, ha tenido la necesidad de consumir y quemar más combustible afectando el medio ambiente. El trabajo de investigación sobre las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero que producen los buques que recalan en las aguas de Panamá y que realizan un tránsito es una de las fuentes generadoras de estos gases (GFI). Utilizando la bitácora de máquinas para determinar el consumo de combustible, tanto en marcha como en atraque y maniobra, a través de la implementación y uso de las fórmulas matemáticas que nos proporciona la OMI, se han calculado las emisiones sobre todo del CO2, de una muestra obtenida.
Improving Clinical Communication: a qualitative study on the Informed Consent
Authors: García-Izquierdo Isabel , Bellés-Fortuño Begoña
Published: July 2024

In the context of the Patient-Centred Care paradigm (Epstein et al., 2005; Suojanen et al., 2012) and the shift toward the psychobiological model (Dean & Street, 2015; Muñoz & García-Izquierdo, 2020), there is a growing demand for the patient to be an active agent in the management of their health. Clinical communication should be conveyed accurately and empathetically (Bellés Fortuño & García-Izquierdo, forthcoming), especially in complex legal genres such as the Informed Consent (IC). The research carried out by the Gentt research group up-to-date has revealed that there is no specific monitoring with the use of IC protocols in clinical practice. In this paper, we present the results of a qualitative pilot study with a group of practitioners from the Valencian Community (Spain). A focus group was conducted where the articulation of communication with patients was analyzed. The study tries to define the practical insights of using the IC to draw conclusions that can improve clinical communication. Results show that MPs generally consider that the IC process needs improvement, especially when considering closeness with patients to enhance communication.
A hint of the summery goodness of green grass: a look at English descriptors in tasting notes
Authors: López Arroyo Belén , Sanz-Valdivieso Lucia
Published: July 2024

Tasting descriptors, which are common terms used to describe a food product, play a significant role in tasting discourse and particularly in tasting notes. Although they have been the subject of a number of studies from different perspectives, none of them describe and classify descriptors from their form, function and combination in tasting notes in English. In this paper, we examine a corpus of tasting notes with the aim of 1. determining the positioning of English descriptors in relation to the keywords designating the tasting process; 2. scoping the depth of description, as indicated by the number of descriptors; 3. identifying if the descriptors are specific to a given aspect of the food product or are generic enough to be used to describe different aspects of it.; and 4. categorizing frequent semantic associative processed among descriptors and keywords. Our results will be a valuable resource for professionals, technical writers and students’ tasters in English.

Authors: Maluka Harriet Rivalani , Mowela Sewela , Mabasa Fumani Donald
Published: July 2024

Historically disadvantaged higher education institutions (HDHEIs) struggle to respond to the ecological demands of influencing green behaviours at the workplace. HR departments are required to take a leading role through the adoption of green HRM (GHRM) practices. This study explored HR professionals’ experiences with the implementation of GHRM practices and the related challenges at a South African HDHEI. A qualitative approach was adopted. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 HR professionals. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse data. The findings revealed five themes linked to the GHRM practices: online advertisement and invitation of application, green recruitment and selection, green training and development, green performance management and green compensation and reward, with financial constraints, lack of awareness, complexity and lack of green capital as related challenges. The study concluded that an institutional green vision, mission statements and values should be developed and aligned with GHRM to promote environmental sustainability at HDHEIs.

Nyelvpedagógiai szakkifejezések jellemzői és használata angoltanár szakos hallgatók szaktárgyi esszéiben
Authors: Sárdi Csilla
Published: July 2024

A tanulmány az angol nyelvtanárképzés kontextusában vizsgálja a szakszavak használatát magyar hallgatók angolul írott nyelvpedagógiai esszéiben. Azonosítja a nyelvpedagógiai szakszavakat, és előfordulási gyakoriság szempontjából vizsgálja ezeket köznyelvi és tudományos szólistákban. Megvizsgálja, hogy az azonosított szakszavak milyen mértékben töltik be a tudományos kommunikációban rájuk háruló szerepet: a jelenségek meghatározását, kategorizálását és rendszerezését. Az eredmények szerint az esszékben azonosított szakszavak jelentős hányada egyben magas gyakoriságú szó a köznyelvi és a tudományos szólisták tekintetében is. A magas gyakoriságú szavak szakszóként történő használata nehézséget okoz a hallgatók számára, mert a pontos jelentéstartományt nem minden esetben jelölik a szövegekben, tágabb, vagy más értelemben használva azokat. Ez gátolja a nyelvpedagógiában tárgyalt jelenségek pontos meghatározását és értelmezését. Mivel a szakszavak pontos alkalmazása nélkülözhetetlen a hatékony tudományos-szakmai kommunikációban, erre a nyelvpedagógiai szaktárgyak keretein belül is célszerű kiemelt figyelmet fordítani.
Circular RNA circ_001621 acts as a tumor promoter in lung cancer by regulating the miR-199a-3p/GREM1 axis
Authors: Lei Jun , Qiao Song
Published: July 2024

Introduction

Investigating how circular RNAs (circRNAs) function during tumorigenesis may help uncover novel diagnostic markers for cancer treatment. The oncogenic role of circ_001621 has been verified in osteosarcoma, but its role in lung cancer has yet to be reported. This research is the first to investigate the circ_001621 expression and regulatory mechanism in lung cancer.

Material and methods

RT-qPCR was performed to assess the circ_001621 expression levels in lung cancer cells and tissues. The influence of circ_001621 on the viability, invasive ability, and apoptosis of lung cancer cells was investigated through CCK-8, transwell, and caspase-3 activity experiments, respectively. A xenograft nude mouse model was designed to evaluate how circ_001621 functions in vivo. The RIP and luciferase reporter experiments confirmed the binding among circRNA, miRNA, and mRNA.

Results

Circ_001621 was dramatically upregulated in lung cancer tissues and cells. Silencing circ_001621 in lung cancer cells reduced their viability and invasive ability but stimulated apoptosis. The nude mice experiment demonstrated that circ_001621 downregulation considerably stunted tumor growth in vivo. Additionally, circ_001621 could sponge miR-199a-3p. The inhibitor of miR-199a-3p improved the viability and invasion of cells while inhibiting apoptosis. Moreover, it offset the impact of circ_001621 on lung cancer cells. MiR-199a-3p was observed to target GREM1, and the downregulation of GREM1 could counteract miR-199a-3p-induced effects on lung cancer cells.

Conclusions

The circ_001621/miR-199a-3p/GREM1 axis exhibits an association with the development of lung cancer, suggesting its potential as a future therapeutic target for the disease.
TREM-1 inhibition or ondansetron administration ameliorates NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis
in traumatic brain injury-induced acute lung injury
Authors: Li Fen , Qin Na , Yu Yiqin , Dong Rui , Li Xiaojie , Gong Shenhai , Zeng Zhenhua , Huang Lin , Yang Hong
Published: July 2024

Introduction

Recently, NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) and pyroptosis have been reported to be involved in traumatic brain injury-induced acute lung injury (TBI-ALI). Studies have shown that triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) may be one of the upstream molecules regulating NLRP3/pyroptosis, and 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3-receptor (5-HT3R) antagonists can inhibit NLRP3/pyroptosis. However, the role of TRME-1 in TBI- ALI, the therapeutic effect of 5-HT3R inhibition on TBI-ALI and its mechanism are still unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of ondansetron, a 5-HT3 inhibitor, on TBI-ALI, and to explore whether the underlying mechanism is related to the regulation of TREM-1.

Material and methods

A TBI-ALI rat model was constructed via lateral fluid percussion (LFP) brain injury, and either TREM-1 inhibitor (LP17) or ondansetron was administered as needed.

Results

TBI induced NLRP3 inflammasome, pyroptosis, and TREM-1 activation in rat lung tissues in a time-dependent manner. Inhibition of TREM-1 activity attenuated TBI-ALI; this is evident from reduced pathological scores, wet/dry ratios, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid protein levels and alleviated NLRP3 inflammasome/pyroptosis. In addition, ondansetron reduced NLRP3 inflammasome/pyroptosis and alleviated TBI-ALI. Moreover, ondansetron reduced TREM-1 activation in macrophages and lung tissue.

Conclusions

Ondansetron alleviated TBI-ALI. In terms of mechanism, TREM-1 promotes TBI-ALI via the NLRP3-related pyroptosis pathway, and the protective effect of ondansetron on TBI-ALI may be related to the inhibition of TREM-1.

Authors: Chen Feng , Lin Hao , Zhang Yuansi , Zhang Yu , Yang Enhui
Published: July 2024

Introduction

In this study, we investigated the effect of depression on the interaction between lung disease and cardiovascular health (CVH).

Methods

Utilising data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013–2018), we employed multivariate regression and bootstrap mediation analysis to explore the relationships among lung diseases, depression, and CVH scores.

Results

Complex and significant associations were identified among lung diseases, depression, and CVH scores, with depression mediating 9.42% of the effect on CVH, especially for chronic bronchitis patients.

Conclusions

Depression significantly mediated the relationship between lung disease and reduced CVH scores, highlighting the importance of mental health management in lung disease patients.
1920, a Década da Viragem para a Ordem Materna
Authors: Garcia Varela Uriel
Published: July 2024

1920, Punto de Inflexión del Orden Materno
En la historia del psicoanálisis, el “punto de inflexión de los años veinte” representa el punto en que la teoría (y por consecuencia, la práctica) sufrió una transformación radical con la introducción de la segunda dualidad pulsional en “Más allá del principio de placer” (1920) y de la segunda tópica en “El yo y el ello” (1923). Pero el autor de este artículo piensa que el punto de inflexión de aquel giro fue 1926 con la publicación de “Inhibición, síntoma y angustia”. A partir de ahí, las perturbaciones psíquicas ya no tendrían su fuente en la “angustia de castración”, sino en la “angustia señal de pérdida de objeto” y, en última instancia, en la “angustia automática” (Freud, 1926). Este descubrimiento inaugura el psicoanálisis post-freudiano y la nueva clínica psicoanalítica, cuyo problema radica en el tratamiento de las estructuras no-neuróticas y las fallas ambientales primitivas. Pero Freud sólo pudo dar ese salto gracias a la influencia de sus más cercanos colaboradores: Sándor Ferenczi y Otto Rank, quienes antes ya habían puesto especial atención en la problemática vinculación entre el bebé y su madre. Fue particularmente Ferenczi quien se comprometió con esta exploración, y por ello nos atrevemos a llamarlo “Fundador del psicoanálisis contemporáneo.”
A Função do Desejo do Analista nas Entrevistas Iniciais
Authors: Freitas Moraes Maria Eduarda
Published: July 2024

No artigo, coloca-se em questão a função que exerce o desejo do analista para que o tratamento ocorra no primeiro tempo da análise: as entrevistas iniciais. Em um primeiro momento, discute-se o que se entende por desejo do analista, expressão formulada por Jacques Lacan para dizer que o desejo do analista não visa indicar um caminho que sugere como ele deve viver; antes, objetiva o bem dizer e, com isso, proporciona espaço para a emergência do desejo do sujeito do inconsciente. No segundo tempo, apresenta-se a passagem da queixa inicial à demanda de análise. Discute-se um recorte das entrevistas iniciais de um caso clínico, apresentado como vinheta clínica. Conclui-se que a emergência do sujeito, na entrada em análise, permite a interrogação de seu sintoma. Nesse contexto, busca-se evidenciar o desejo do analista como uma das condições necessárias para que a análise ocorra.

Investigar em Psicanálise?
Authors: Falcão Rosado Filipa , Santos Neves Teresa , Roberto Sandra , Cruz Santos Orlando , Martins Pote Luís
Published: July 2024

Nas últimas décadas, tem sido debatido o estatuto científico da psicanálise, dos seus métodos de investigação e de produção de conhecimento. Numa perspetiva pluralista de ciência, defende-se a adequação dos métodos e instrumentos de investigação à especificidade do objeto de estudo. A psicanálise parte de uma conceção ontológica do sujeito dividido, conflitual e defendido. Partindo de uma investigação conceptual, ainda em curso, sobre o uso do conceito de contratransferência em psicanalistas, procurou-se construir um dispositivo adequado ao fenómeno em estudo utilizando uma metodologia psicanaliticamente informada. Recorreu-se à Entrevista Narrativa de Associação Livre (FANI) e à dinâmica que se estabeleceu no grupo de investigação, durante a análise do material, para aceder aos significados implícitos do conceito. Partindo da teorização de Bion sobre o pensamento, nomeadamente os conceitos de capacidade negativa, trabalho de sonho alfa e facto selecionado, refletiu-se e explicitou-se o processo subjacente aos procedimentos de análise das entrevistas. Assim, o presente artigo pretende dar contributos teórico-metodológicos para a clarificação da investigação em psicanálise fora do quadro analítico.

Authors: Moskva Khrystyna , Kikhtyak Olesya , Lapovets Lyubov
Published: July 2024

The study aims to evaluate the correlations between gut microbiota and biochemical markers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and thyroid dysfunction. The study included 82 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, and thyroid dysfunction. We performed various tests on the stool samples of the patients to analyze the composition of the gut microbiota and also measured several biochemical parameters related to carbohydrate, lipid, and thyroid metabolism, as well as insulin resistance. Statistical methods to compare and correlate the variables were used. A number of significant correlations were found between the gut microbiota and the biochemical markers in the patients. We observed that some bacteria and fungi, such as Bifidobacterium spp., Candida krusei, and Helicobacter pylori, were associated with thyroid parameters, such as TSH, fT4, and TRAb. It was also detected that some bacteria, such as Actinobacteria, Enterococcus spp., Shigella spp., and Salmonella spp., were related to carbohydrate metabolism parameters, such as glucose, HbA1c, and HOMA-IR. As a conclusion, the gut microbiota may impact the functioning of the thyroid gland and the carbohydrate metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and thyroid dysfunction. We suggest that further studies are needed to explore the mechanisms and implications of these interactions, and to evaluate the potential of modulating the gut microbiota as a therapeutic strategy.
Enhancing cognitive resilience: a narrative review of lifestyle interventions in cognitive decline prevention among older adults
Authors: Saksham Sharma , Dabhi Mihir , Dhruv Gandhi , Gokulakrishnan
Published: July 2024

Background: The increasing prevalence of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disorders among ageing populations necessitates effective preventive strategies. Lifestyle interventions, including dietary modifications, cognitive training, and physical exercise, have emerged as promising avenues for enhancing cognitive resilience. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on the efficacy of lifestyle interventions in preventing or delaying cognitive decline among older adults. Methods and Materials: A systematic search was conducted across databases, including PubMed and Google Scholar, using the PICO framework to formulate a precise research question. Inclusion criteria encompassed diverse study designs, focusing on older adults aged 65 years and above, diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD). Lifestyle interventions targeting cognitive health were compared against standard care or alternative non-pharmacological approaches, with primary outcomes including changes in cognitive function and activities of daily living (ADLs). Objectives: The review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions, such as cognitive training, dietary modifications, and physical exercise, in preserving cognitive function and delaying cognitive decline among older adults. Results: The synthesis of evidence revealed significant benefits associated with lifestyle interventions. Dietary patterns rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and essential fatty acids demonstrated neuroprotective effects and reduced cognitive decline risk. Physical exercise programs and cognitive stimulation interventions also showed promise in maintaining cognitive function. Multimodal approaches, personalized interventions, and long-term follow-ups emerged as key considerations for optimizing outcomes.

Authors: Savelyev Yuri , Robota Lyudmila , Lesunova Olena , Brykova Аlexandra
Published: July 2024

A method of obtaining waterborn polyurethane dispersions containing the natural polysaccharide starch, stable over time and when diluted with water, has been developed by introducing an aqueous solution of starch into the reaction system with a combination of the chain elongation stage and the dispersion process, which is manifested in the high aggregative stability of the dispersions and the ability to form monolithic films, in contrast to mechanical mixtures. Materials acquire the ability to degrade in environmental conditions while maintaining the properties inherent in traditional ionomer polyurethanes. The use of the created method opens up opportunities for the creation of environmental-friendly materials with a given set of properties, promising as physiologically active materials for agriculture, in particular antiperspirants, phytoprotective and growth stimulating materials.

Corrosion and electrochemical behavior of Al-Cu-Fe ingots with quasicrystalline phase in an aerated solution of 3% NaCl at 25 °C have been studied. Samples of ingots of Al-Cu-Fe alloys with a diameter of 6 mm, obtained by drawing the melt into a quartz tube at a cooling rate of about 250 °С/s. It is shown that alloying with scandium decreases the rate of free corrosion iсor. Annealing into single-phase quasicrystalline state of Al63Cu25Fe12 ingot also has a positive effect on corrosion characteristics.

Published: July 2024

Досліджено комплекс електротранспортних властивостей (електропровідність - æ, термо-е.р.с. - α, поляризація - I-V залежності, електроліз - η) декотрих сульфідів халькофільних елементів (Cu, Ag, Tl, Sn, Pb, Co, Ni). Для інтерпретаціï отриманих даних застосовано феноменологічну теорію поліфункціональності провідності, розроблену і запропоновану Великановим А.Я. [1]. Виходячи з теорії, Cu2S кваліфіковано як поліфункціональний провідник (ПФП), в якому за сукупністю властивостей проявляється іонна і превалює електронна складова напівпровідникової природи провідності р-типу. Ag2S – ПФП з провідністю, характерною для виродженого напівпровідника п-типу. Tl2S – ПФП, в якому поблизу tпл. фіксується суттєва частка іонної провідності; в подальшому сульфід поводиться як типовий напівпровідник з певною величиною ширини забороненої зони. Характер зміни æ з t для SnS і PbS, їх величини і позитивний температурний коефіцієнт, суттєва величина α п-типу, а також відсутність поляризації в розплавах свидчать про виражeну напівпровідникову природу ПФП. CoS і NiS за комплексом електротранспортних властивостей кваліфіковано як ПФП з виродженою напівпровідністю, характерною для металізованих сполук.

Проведено огляд проблематики та основних напрямків наукових досліджень матеріальних системних об'єктів, процесів і явищ для прогнозування перспектив їх розвитку. Показано що: системний підхід слугує провідною концепцією системного аналізу, основою якого є побудова математичних моделей; системний аналіз застосовний для розв'язання будь-якої проблеми, але все ж його основним завданням залишається дослідження складних проблем або систем; стосовно технічної галузі системний аналіз реалізується в рамках системотехнічного підходу і системотехніки; проблеми, що вивчаються системним аналізом в області системотехніки, полягають у розробленні абсолютно нових систем або систем, що виконують свої функції краще порівняно з наявними системами, у поліпшенні якості функціонування наявних систем, у ліквідації небажаних ситуацій, спричинених зміною зовнішніх і внутрішніх чинників, що впливають на систему; системний аналіз не є єдиним інструментом, що застосовується при підготовці нових рішень, а тому для дослідження складних систем необхідно використовувати й інші наукові методи, а також різні практичні прийоми.

IMPACTO DO DIABETES MELLITUS NA INTERNAÇÃO E MORTALIDADE DE IDOSOS NO BRASIL: UM ESTUDO DE 2019 A 2023
Authors: Seyboth Ana Cecilia Hildebrand , Pescador Marise Vilas Boas
Published: July 2024

: O envelhecimento populacional tem aumentado as internações por diabetes mellitus entre os idosos, sendo o diabetes tipo 2 (DM2) prevalente devido à associação com obesidade e resistência à insulina. Idosos com diabetes apresentam maior risco de mortalidade em razão das complicações e desafios adicionais de saúde, como politerapia e problemas funcionais e cognitivos. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as internações e óbitos por diabetes mellitus na população idosa em diferentes regiões do Brasil, utilizando dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do Sistema Único de Saúde (SIH/SUS) de 2019 a 2023. As variáveis consideradas incluíram internações, ano, região geográfica, caráter do atendimento, óbitos, taxa de mortalidade, média de permanência, sexo, custo médio e total. A análise revelou que, entre 2019 e 2023, as internações variaram significativamente por região, com Nordeste e Sudeste registrando os números mais altos, 118.600 e 118.239 casos, respectivamente. Houve uma tendência leve de aumento na região Norte e quedas nas regiões Sul e Centro-Oeste ao longo desse período. As internações eletivas aumentaram, enquanto as de urgência diminuíram, especialmente em 2020, possivelmente influenciadas pela pandemia de COVID-19. O Sudeste liderou em número de óbitos, com 7.929 casos, seguido pelo Nordeste, destacando variações nas taxas de mortalidade entre as regiões. Os custos médios das internações foram mais altos no Sudeste e mais baixos no Nordeste, refletindo disparidades regionais. A pandemia impactou todas as regiões, influenciando as tendências de internação de forma relevante, exceto no Centro-Oeste, onde as mudanças foram menos evidentes estatisticamente. Estudos adicionais corroboraram a alta prevalência de diabetes em idosos, indicando que mais da metade das internações por diabetes ocorrem em pessoas acima de 60 anos. O manejo farmacológico da condição inclui a metformina devido à sua eficácia e segurança, enquanto inibidores da DPP-IV requerem ajustes conforme a função renal, e sulfonilureias são iniciadas com doses conservadoras. Complicações como retinopatia, nefropatia e neuropatia periférica, especialmente no contexto do pé diabético, contribuem significativamente para hospitalizações e morbidade entre os idosos. A pandemia de COVID-19 exacerbou esses desafios, limitando o acesso aos cuidados e aumentando o risco de complicações graves, como infecções pulmonares e mortalidade elevada entre idosos diabéticos. Diante disso, ressalta-se a necessidade de formulação de políticas de saúde que abordem o controle da diabetes na população idosa brasileira, especialmente durante crises sanitárias como a pandemia de COVID-19. Estratégias integradas de saúde pública são essenciais para mitigar complicações graves, promovendo o diagnóstico precoce e manejo eficaz da condição.
Modélisation de la pollution atmosphérique régionale
Authors: Menut Laurent
Published: July 2024

Si l’étude des problèmes de pollution atmosphérique est déjà ancienne, la prise de conscience de l’impact de l’humain sur la dégradation de son propre environnement est récente. Que ces impacts soient directs et rapides, ou lents et indirects, le développement d’un modèle de chimie-transport peut apporter des réponses à des questions telles que : quels sont les impacts des polluants sur la santé ? Quel est l’impact de la pollution sur le climat ?Modélisation de la pollution atmosphérique régionale reprend les différents principes de base et les étapes de la modélisation : définition, observations, outils, approches, techniques numériques sont ainsi présentés. La modélisation étant une simplification de la réalité dans un cadre d’étude particulier, on cherchera à montrer si les processus à représenter, comme les émissions, la chimie ou les dépôts, sont bien modélisés. Pour chaque processus, l’ouvrage présente les hypothèses simplificatrices qui ont été faites, étudie les voies d’amélioration possibles et examine l’impact de ces simplifications sur les résultats recherchés.
Urbanisme et aménagement des villes
Authors: Antoni Jean-Philippe
Published: July 2024

L’urbanisme durable et le renouvellement urbain constituent un défi majeur du XXIe siècle. Dans ce contexte, Urbanisme et aménagement des villes offre une approche géohistorique de la construction urbaine.La ville et ses quartiers sont étudiés à travers leurs matériaux et leur plan général. Ils révèlent une logique de rentabilité économique, de prestige, d’équité sociale ou encore une démarche plus innovante d’un point de vue environnemental. À travers ces éléments, les espaces non bâtis (rues et places caractéristiques) et les espaces bâtis (commerciaux et résidentiels, individuels ou collectifs) forment une trame tridimensionnelle de « vides » et de « pleins » caractéristique des paysages et des modes de vie urbains.Richement illustré de dessins originaux, cet ouvrage présente une synthèse des éléments les plus tangibles de l’urbanisme et de l’aménagement urbain, éléments qui sont mis en perspective pour réfléchir concrètement à l’aménagement des villes de demain.
