Saberes necessários à docência do Ensino Religioso no contexto brasileiro
Authors: Melo Arthur Felipe Moreira de
Published: March 2022

O presente artigo insere-se dentro da revisão bibliográfica da pesquisa de doutorado ora em andamento pelas Faculdades EST na área de concentração ‘Religião e Educação’. Seu objetivo é elencar, bem como discutir sucintamente alguns saberes com o potencial de viabilizar, num nível mais geral, a transposição didática do estudo do ‘fenômeno religioso’ para dentro do espaço do Ensino Religioso da escola pública. Nesse sentido, este trabalho pretende contribuir para as discussões sobre a epistemologia do Ensino Religioso no Brasil, algo ainda em construção. Parte de uma breve contextualização do Ensino Religioso brasileiro para, em seguida, fazer uma aproximação conceitual do termo ‘saber’. A partir de então, são apresentados e discutidos alguns desses saberes em sua relação com a epistemologia do Ensino Religioso. O texto tem como principal interlocutor Raimon Panikkar. Entre suas conclusões, o texto sugere que os principais desafios à construção dos saberes necessários à docência do Ensino Religioso no Brasil estejam no domínio da linguagem.

Personagens da Literatura Infantil
Authors: Costa Camila Laís da Silva , Goldmeyer Marguit Carmen
Published: March 2022

O presente artigo abordará a influência de personagens de livros infantis (suspense, aventura e romance) no desenvolvimento das habilidades socioemocionais em crianças de uma turma do 4º ano de uma escola particular da Grande Porto Alegre. Destacaremos a contribuição da literatura infantil para o desenvolvimento da autonomia e da empatia. As histórias servem como fontes de identificação com os personagens e suas intrigas, vividas nas tramas, e podem ajudar as crianças na resolução de problemas do cotidiano, estimulando-as ao enfrentamento de afetos mais assustadores. Dessa forma, apresentaremos propostas de como esses conflitos podem ser trabalhados a partir das histórias infantis. Tudo isso embasando-se no diálogo promovido com teóricos da área da literatura infantil e dos que se dedicam ao estudo do desenvolvimento das habilidades socioemocionais nos espaços educativos.

Authors: Cossio Gustavo
Published: March 2022

Este artigo apresenta a exposição de trabalhos acadêmicos como possibilidade de reflexão para o ensino do design. A fundamentação teórica do estudo busca introduzir o campo do design, para então abordar aspectos do design de exposição, bem como a especificidade da exposição de design. Em uma abordagem sobre a exposição como atividade didático-pedagógica, são analisados dois estudos de caso, com base em entrevistas semiestruturadas e levantamento fotográfico. A mostra FAUForma: designers refere-se aos trabalhos de conclusão de curso da Universidade de São Paulo – USP. Já a mostra Interiores em Cena apresentou o Curso de Design de Interiores da Universidade Feevale, em Novo Hamburgo – RS. Por fim, verifica-se que o caráter legitimador da exposição oportuniza educar, comunicar e informar sobre design, com o enfoque na divulgação da produção discente. Desse modo, salienta-se a sua contribuição para uma cultura de projeto e a socialização dos conhecimentos articulados no ensino do design.
Perspectivas críticas na questão socioambiental à luz do conceito de centros e periferias de Peter Burke
Authors: Weber Cristiano
Published: March 2022

Falar sobre as perspectivas críticas na questão socioambiental é algo que vai muito além da mera visão especialista. Os problemas socioambientais que surgem atualmente carecem de uma abordagem sistêmica que agregue de forma crítica todas as perspectivas. O lado político é um desses vieses que jamais poderia ser descartado, pois política e participação social são assuntos urgentes e que merecem o olhar de todos, ainda mais se se considerar que, sem uma coletividade atuante, dificilmente haverá uma democracia ambiental. Nesse sentido, o propósito deste trabalho é discorrer sobre a relevância da participação social e da criticidade em um ambiente que apresenta algum nível de degradação ambiental, imposta e sem qualquer tipo de consulta, revelando problemas que vão desde o racismo ambiental, o desequilíbrio na justiça socioambiental até a forma como determinados grupos dos centros tratam os grupos das periferias, tudo isso à luz do conceito de centros e periferias de Peter Burke e outros.
Movimento Escola sem Partido e a “Escola com religião”
Authors: Freitas Eduardo Pacheco
Published: March 2022

Este artigo tem como primeiro objetivo analisar o cerceamento da liberdade de ensinar por parte do movimento conhecido como Escola sem Partido (ESP), que, ao afirmar que os professores na verdade são doutrinadores de esquerda, pretende limitar a atuação deles em sala de aula, através de legislação que tornaria legal a perseguição e intimidação aos educadores. Em segundo lugar, é nosso objetivo estabelecer, neste contexto, as relações entre a liberdade de cátedra e o ensino laico, já que o movimento ESP, de cunho nitidamente conservador, ataca a primeira e relativiza o segundo. Por fim, utilizaremos o episódio “In the hands of prophets” (Nas mãos dos profetas), da série de ficção científica Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, para efetuar a leitura e propor reflexões acerca dos problemas de pesquisa apresentados no texto.
pós-verdade
Authors: Holdefer Milena Bender , Goldmeyer Marguit Carmen
Published: March 2022

Este trabalho apresenta uma discussão acerca da pós-verdade, de como ela surgiu e quais as suas consequências na sociedade. Além disso, apresentar-se-á o recurso das  potências da alma, que, se bem desenvolvidas, podem auxiliar na construção da retórica.  Mais que isso, as potências antes referidas - denominadas: a inteligência, a vontade e a sensibilidade - são os fundamentos que tornam o ser humano íntegro. Sendo assim, somente a partir da estimulação dessas potências é que o indivíduo pode se formar integralmente. Como meio para essas questões, sugerir-se-á a contemplação das Artes do Belo, pois elas podem potencializar a argumentação, a fim de que ela propenda para o bom, o verdadeiro e o belo.

Reseña de "La guerra no tiene rostro de mujer"
Authors: Peralta Mulet Jordi
Published: March 2022

“La guerra no tiene rostro de mujer” es una aproximación a la Segunda Guerra Mundial desde el punto de vista de las mujeres de la Unión Soviética. Ante un relato dominante que prioriza las experiencias de los hombres, Svetlana Alexiévich entrevista a muchas de aquellas protagonistas olvidadas de la guerra y nos obsequia con un libro diferente. El resultado de tan minucioso trabajo periodístico, literario e historiográfico es un conjunto de voces plurales que hablan de cuestiones cotidianas como el hambre, el miedo o el amor, ofreciendo una visión alejada de la heroicidad tradicional.

Published: March 2022

Background: In this study, we present the short-term results of revascularization of left subclavian artery with the chimney technique in patients with aortic dissection or transection who underwent Zone 2 thoracic endovascular aortic repair.

Methods: A total of 11 patients (6 males, 5 females; mean age: 56.4±11.5 years; range, 38 to 76 years) who underwent Zone 2 thoracic endovascular aortic repair procedure and left subclavian artery revascularization with the chimney technique between April 2017 and January 2020 in our clinic were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were followed at one, three, six months and one year with computed tomography angiography.

Results: The mean follow-up was 19.7±14.5 (range, 6.3 to 45.8) months. Endoleak occurred in one (9%) patient and gutter leak occurred in three (27%) patients. The mean endoleak-free (including gutter leak) time was 19.9±5.4 (95% confidence interval: 9.36-30.34) months. No mortality occurred in any of the patients. No occlusion occurred in the chimney grafts.

Conclusion: The chimney revascularization technique is an alternative to other revascularization techniques of the left subclavian artery during thoracic endovascular aortic repair.
Forensic Semiology
Authors: Reyes Baeza Erika
Published: March 2022

To improve practice and increase the quality of human identification processes, this article proposes a methodological framework and interview to facilitate the recovery of antemortem information about ailments, illnesses, and injuries, referred to as forensic semiology. The proposal is based on experience working on the intervention at the Parish Cemetery in Penco, Chile. Twenty-eight cases, which correspond to a total of 61 interviews, were analyzed through a diachronic comparison of content during the 2010–2016 period. The qualitative and quantitative analyses of the semiology interview demonstrate an increase in the quantity and quality of supplementary information in the process of human identification based on skeletal remains.
Electrophysiology Study: Interpretation of Intracardiac Electrocardiograms
Authors: Kupo Peter
Published: March 2022

Although electrocardiography is more than 100 years old, it still holds the key to diagnose many disorders and is one of the most commonly used diagnostic tools not only in cardiology but throughout medicine. Most often a surface electrocardiogram (ECG) is made, which represents a summarized electrical activity of the heart. However, by inserting catheters into the heart, it is possible to make an ECG from different localized areas. This chapter focuses on introducing the readers to the world of cardiac electrophysiology providing an overview of the basic principles of the electrophysiology study.
Grade 10 Girls’ Experiences in Choosing STEM Subjects in Rakwadu Circuit, South Africa
Authors: Kibirige Israel , Edith Modjadji Shapule
Published: March 2022

The lopsided participation of females in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professions is an issue of global concern. Very few girls choose to study sciences in secondary schools in South Africa. Understanding girls’ experiences in choosing science subjects may assist various education stakeholders to ensure that their roles motivate more girls to choose sciences. This study explored grade 10 girls’ experiences in choosing STEM subjects. A case study was designed using 10 girls out of 145 who had chosen to study STEM subjects from three secondary schools in Limpopo Province, South Africa. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and were analyzed thematically. Five themes emerged regarding Grade 10 girls’ experiences in choosing to study STEM subjects—self-determination, anticipated value, the class environment, home influence, and social influence. Parental guidance of “girl-child” was very limited. The findings highlight that many girls in rural schools in Limpopo did not choose STEM subjects in Grade 10. These findings have far-reaching implications for all education stakeholders in the country and beyond.
Charge Carriers for Next-Generation Redox Flow Batteries
Authors: L. Peake Catherine , N. Newton Graham , A. Walsh Darren
Published: March 2022

Increasing the volumetric energy density of redox flow batteries beyond that of the archetypal all-vanadium system requires the development of highly soluble charge carriers that can store multiple electrons per charge cycle. In this review article we will describe the design and performance of a range of new charge carriers for flow batteries, with an emphasis on those with multi-electron redox properties. These include fullerene derivatives, multifunctional organic systems, metal coordination complexes, and polyoxometalates. Our discussion will include an evaluation of the fundamental physical and electrochemical properties of the charge carriers and their impact on battery performance and energy density.
Methods and Tools for Assessing Muscle Asymmetry in the Analysis of Electromyographic Signals
Authors: Pashayeva Kamala , Abdullayev Namiq
Published: March 2022

The generalized information about the possibilities of assessing asymmetry and the prospects of research tools is presented. The important role of the choice of different methods for processing electromyographic signals, the results of which can be considered as an objective criterion for assessing the asymmetry of the muscles of the extremities, is noted, such as the asymmetry coefficient, a widely used parameter in statistical analysis, which characterizes the asymmetry of the statistical distribution. Also applied is the segmental method of studying the body to obtain estimates of the composition and differences between individual body segments. The isokinetic test method, which makes it possible to assess asymmetry in measuring muscle strength, relies on the randomness of the dynamic processes of the biological system. Use of nonlinear dynamics, the theory of dynamic chaos, and fractal analysis allows for determining the fractal properties of biosignals, and from the classical methods used correlation analysis.
Islamic Banking and Islamic Accounting in Indonesia: History and Recent Development
Authors: Sholihin Mahfud , Andari Dian
Published: March 2022

Islamic banks (IBs) have distinctive characteristics compared with the conventional ones. IBs only perform permissible (halal) financial transactions viewed from Islamic perspective and avoid usury (riba) and overspeculation (gharar). Consequently, IBs require special accounting to accommodate their nature. In terms of accounting, Indonesia is unique, as it has two accounting (for business organizations) standard setters: Financial Accounting Standard Board (Dewan Standar Akuntansi Keuangan-DSAK) and Sharia Financial Accounting Standard Board (Dewan Standar Akuntansi Keuangan Syariah-DSAS). This chapter discusses the development of IBs in Indonesia, a country with majority of its citizens being Muslim. Further, it explains the development of Islamic Financial Accounting Standards (IFAS) including how the standards are developed (the due processes). Finally, this chapter describes whether Islamic financial accounting standards developed in Indonesia has sufficiently fulfilled the accounting standards needed by Islamic banks in Indonesia.
How to Support Health When Aging at a Place Called Second Home?
Authors: Arola Annikki
Published: March 2022

Today, we live in a world where migration is a fact. Due to this, in this context, we have a group of persons who will age in a context that differs from their country of birth. It is important to identify the opportunities and obstacles that these persons face when they age in the context of migration. This chapter will highlight how aging is described and what it means to grow old in a migration context. What makes the life worth living? What creates meaning in everyday life when aging far away from “home”? One way to explore this is to see it from the perspective of health promotion and salutogenesis, where the meaning derives from the sense of coherence.
Post-Mortem Assessment and Evolutionary Role of the Autopsy
Authors: Montisci Massimo , Cecchetto Giovanni , Viel Guido
Published: March 2022

The Chapter is dedicated to the evolutionary role of autopsy, reporting the historical profiles, the state of the art, and prospects for future development of the main related techniques and methods of the ancillary disciplines (like Radiology), involved in historic synergy in the post-mortem assessment, together with the mother discipline Forensic Pathology. A task sustainable through the utilization of the so-called advanced molecular autopsy, a convergence of different skills jointly makes use of the high dimensionality of data generated by new technologies requiring a data mining approach governed by improved bioinformatics and computational biology tools. The evolution of the scientific research and the increased accuracy of the various disciplines will be able to weigh the value of evidence, placed at the disposal of the justice system as truth and proof.
Evaluation of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Expression in Gastric and Gastroesophageal Cancers in Tanzania
Authors: Ngaiza Advera , Vuhahula Edda , Yahaya James , Ndayisaba Marie Claire , Kawishe Gerald J. , Grenert James P. , Zhang Li , Van Loon Katherine , Ng Dianna L.
Published: March 2022

Context.—

The incidence of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positivity in gastric cancers differs widely across various populations and is unknown in many low-resource settings.

Objective.—

To evaluate the rates of HER2 positivity in gastric and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma at a national referral hospital in East Africa. We also assessed the association between HER2 overexpression and patient clinicopathologic characteristics.

Design.—

A retrospective review of cases diagnosed as either gastric or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma between 2013 and 2017 was performed at Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Of 1205 specimens meeting inclusion criteria, stratified random sampling was conducted to select 150 cases for HER2 immunohistochemistry and clinicopathologic analysis.

Results.—

The median age of patients was 56.5 years, with 65.3% (98 of 150) of the cohort composed of male patients, and 34.7% (52 of 150) of female patients. HER2 overexpression was identified in 6.0% (9 of 150) of cases. Approximately half of the tumors (51.3%; 77 of 150) were intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma, and 36.0% (54 of 150) were moderately differentiated. Intestinal-type (P = .01) and well-differentiated tumors (P = .001) were associated with HER2 overexpression.

Conclusions.—

HER2 overexpression was primarily seen in intestinal-type and well-differentiated tumors. Therefore, prioritizing HER2 testing for patients with intestinal-type, well-differentiated, or moderately differentiated gastric and gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas may be appropriate in Tanzania in efforts to allocate testing for patients who are most likely to benefit from trastuzumab therapy.
Severe injuries of proximal hamstrings in high performance sport climbers
Authors: Vantorre A , Schellhammer S
Published: March 2022

Injuries of the hamstrings are well known in all kinds of sports. According to the associated mechanisms, literature divides between a running and a stretch type lesion. A variant of the stretch type has been observed in sports climbing based on two almost identical lesions of the hamstrings due to high-elevation heel hooking. This specific movement is characterised by isometric muscle tension in extensive hip flexion with a flexed knee. Even without an obvious trauma, we found severe injuries of the proximal hamstrings. These may cause serious consequences to the further career of a climber. Trainers and route setters should keep this in mind.
How to Succeed as an Advanced Practitioner in a Multifaceted Role
Authors: Faiman, PhD, MSN, APRN-BC, AOCN®, FAAN Beth
Published: March 2022

Nearly 20 years ago, I was one of the first in an advanced practitioner (AP) role in the outpatient area of a major academic institution. There was one other AP at the time I was hired, so I asked to shadow her for a day. I could see that she was a highly respected expert in her clinical area, and I was excited to take knowledge back to my clinic. I was so impressed by how proficient she was! Not only did she read MRIs but also accurately took tumor measurements, prescribed medications, and formulated complex treatment plans. She wrote clear and concise visit notes and consulted with other physicians who listened to what she had to say. She was able to effortlessly navigate complex clinical situations that APs face on a regular basis. I wanted to be just like her.
LayeredCNN: Segmenting Layers with Autoregressive Models
Authors: Christensen Jakob , Jensen Patrick , Hannemose Morten , Dahl Anders , Dahl Vedrana
Published: March 2022

We address a subclass of segmentation problems where the labels of the image are structured in layers. We propose applying autoregressive CNNs which, when given an image and a partial segmentation of layers, complete the segmentation. Initializing the model with a user-provided partial segmentation allows for choosing which layers the model should segment. Alternatively, the model can produce an automatic initialization, albeit with some performance loss. The model is trained exclusively on synthetic data from our data generation algorithm. It yields impressive performance on the synthetic data and generalizes to real data it has never seen.

Este artículo busca delinear el papel activo que tuvo la Iglesia católica y sus directrices sobre la cinematografía, en la renovación del documental chileno en las décadas del 50 y el 60. En particular, el trabajo de asimilación y divulgación de este ideario, que realiza un grupo de sacerdotes jesuitas responsables de la redacción de revista Mensaje y su gravitación en la producción documental universitaria, impulsada por Rafael Sánchez en el Instituto Fílmico de la Universidad Católica de Chile, a partir de 1955. El presente trabajo examina estas directrices, y sus eventuales efectos en dos ámbitos específicos de interés: la reflexión y divulgación de las posturas de la Iglesia católica sobre el cine en la revista Mensaje, y en el ámbito de la práctica cinematográfica, específicamente en la producción de documentales de Rafael Sánchez
Nas fronteiras do humano e do não humano: poéticas da natureza na literatura brasileira do século XXI
Authors:   Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Maciel Maria Esther
Published: March 2022

Em que medida as alteridades não humanas se inscrevem na literatura brasileira contemporânea? Como alguns escritores brasileiros têm lidado com as relações paradoxais entre humanidade e animalidade, bem como com os problemas (etno)ecológicos do nosso tempo? Este artigo aborda a presença dos seres não humanos em obras de Nicanor Sena, Astrid Cabral, Olga Savary, Sérgio Medeiros e Josely Vianna Baptista, à luz de um referencial teórico transdisciplinar, que inclui pensadores como Ailton Krenak, Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, Dominique Lestel e Donna Haraway. Outro tópico desenvolvido é o hibridismo cultural e textual que atravessa os trabalhos de alguns dos autores incluídos no repertório literário, de forma a mostrar como eles apresentam um caráter fronteiriço, com um forte viés transnacional, por estarem atravessados por elementos zoológicos e mitológicos, lendas indígenas, referências literárias diversas e diferentes espaços linguístico-geográficos.

La prostituta travesti en la crónica latinoamericana: Estudios literarios y Pathosformeln
Authors:   Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (Chile), Riquelme Sáez Sebastián Matías
Published: March 2022

En este trabajo se ofrece una propuesta de aplicación práctica del concepto de Pathosformeln acuñado por el historiador del Arte alemán Aby Warburg para los estudios literarios, estableciendo un vaso comunicante desde las imágenes representativas y visuales estudiadas por éste, hacia las imágenes mentales originadas en las descripciones de un texto literario, y las emociones que ellas comunican. Para ello, se escoge un variado corpus de ocho crónicas latinoamericanas, desde modernistas hasta el siglo XXI, cuyo tema sea la prostitución travesti, acotando luego el ejemplo de aplicación a la exacerbación de la feminidad por parte de los protagonistas, y el punto de vista de los narradores al respecto, apoyado a su vez en la noción de performatividad de género de Judith Butler. Mediante citas textuales y comparación entre las representaciones de la prostituta travesti en estos textos de no ficción, se discute la aplicabilidad del concepto, así como las diferencias con el ampliamente estudiado uso de éste en la historiografía de las artes visuales
Sexualidad, género y poder en Yo, la peor de todas (1990) de Maria Luisa Bemberg
Authors:   UBA/CONICET, Martinelli Lucas Sebastián
Published: March 2022

Este artículo presenta una revisión del trabajo de María Luisa Bemberg con un enfoque en Yo, la peor de todas (1990) ya que es la película donde la directora lleva la sexualidad al punto más alto. Casi treinta años después de su lanzamiento, lo que se mostró en la película, se puede ver hoy de una manera muy diferente, ya que hubo muchos cineastas que volvieron a explorar directamente esas intensificaciones sexuales que Bemberg planteó como un germen. A partir de un análisis de los elementos visuales, sonoros y simbólicos de la película, se busca mostrar las tensiones que su trabajo produjo en sus aspectos sexuales y de género, pero también las formas de reflexionar sobre el poder y los procesos históricos de su presente y nuestra contemporaneidad.

O que tem 2020 com 2013? Ensaio sobre pandemias e insurreições
Authors:   Universidade do Estado de Rio de Janeiro, Jourdan Camila
Published: March 2022

En este ensayo retomo las narrativas sobre el levante popular de 2013 en Brasil, considerando que tales discursos están aún presentes directa e indirectamente en la manera cómo comprendemos la actualidad, sobre todo la ascensión de la derecha y nuestras posibles resistencias a los múltiples elementos fascistas crecientes hoy en nuestra sociedad. En este sentido, analizo ciertas posiciones corrientes relacionadas con las reacciones conservadoras y punitivas a las protestas populares, que acaban por concluir que las manifestaciones generaron un “mal aún mayor”. Traigo a la luz algunas premisas ocultas en esas afirmaciones que, operando tanto desde puntos de vista historiográficos como filosóficos, comprometen no solamente nuestro pasado, sino también acaban por empeñar nuestro futuro.

El artículo argumenta que lejos de ser una aberración, un producto del azar o del devenir-fascista de decenas de millones de brasileños, el bolsonarismo está profundamente arraigado en la historia reciente del país, incluyendo el período lulista. En el interior del argumento, se presenta también la composición de los bloques que lo componen: el partido del buey, el partido teocrata, el partido del orden, el partido del mercado y el partido de los trolls.
Linear Optical Absorptions of Photo/Thermochromic Organic Molecules Interacting with a Gold Nanoparticle
Authors: Essenbæk David Nørgaard , Hillers-Bendtsen Andreas Erbs , Mikkelsen Kurt V.
Published: March 2022

We present linear optical absorptions of photo/thermochromic molecules interacting with a gold nanoparticle. The photo/thermochromic system is the dihydroazulene/vinylheptafulvene (DHA/VHF) system and our aim is to study the effects of the interaction between the gold nanoparticle and the molecular systems. We consider the changes of the one-photon excitations of the dihydroazulene/vinylheptafulvene system as we increase the interactions between the molecules and the nanoparticle by decreasing the distance between them. We utilize a quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical method for investigating the photo/thermochromic molecular system interacting with the gold nanoparticle. The photo/thermochromic molecules are described quantum mechanically using density functional theory whereas the gold nanoparticle is represented as gold atoms with atomic polarizabillities using molecular mechanics.

We observed that the optical properties of the photo/thermochromic systems are affected by the presence of the nanoparticle and the changes depend strongly on the conformer of the molecular system along with the relative orientation and distance between the photo/thermochromic molecules and the nanoparticle.

The interfacial properties for the buried junctions of the perovskite solar cells (PSCs) play a crucial role for the further enhancement of the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stability of devices. Delicate manipulation of the interface properties such as the defect density, energy alignment, perovskite film quality, etc., guarantees efficient extraction and transport of photogenerated carriers. Herein, chlorobenzenesulfonic potassium salts are presented as a novel multifunctional agent to modify the buried tin oxide (SnO2)/perovskite interface for regular PSCs. The increasing number of carbon‐chlorine bonds (CCl) in 2,4,5‐trichlorobenzenesulfonic potassium (3Cl‐BSAK) exhibit efficient interaction with uncoordinated Sn, effectively filling oxygen vacancies in the SnO2 surface. Importantly, synergistic effects of the functional group‐rich organic anions and the potassium ion are achieved for reduced defect density, carrier recombination, and hysteresis. A champion PCE of 24.27% and the open‐circuit voltage (VOC) up to 1.191 V for modified devices are obtained. The unencapsulated devices maintain 80% of their initial PCE after aging at 80 °C for 800 h in the atmosphere and 95% after aging for 100 d. With 3Cl‐BSAK decoration, a high efficiency semitransparent PSC with a PCE of 12.83% and an average visible light transmittance (AVT) over 27% is also obtained.

Cyanines have been widely used as the photosensitizers (PSs) in the biomedical field, but controlling their molecular aggregates in nanoparticles (NPs) remains a major challenge. Moreover, the impact of aggregate behaviors of cyanines on the photosensitization is still unclear. Herein, the first anionic cyanine PSs based on a tricyanofuran end group have been designed by achieving supramolecular J‐type aggregates in NPs via counterion engineering. Our results indicate that J‐type aggregates in NPs can not only bring significantly red‐shifted emission, negatively charged surface, and high photostability, but also enable a significant 5‐fold increase in singlet oxygen generation efficiency compared to that in the nonaggregate state, providing strong experimental evidence for the superiority of J‐aggregates in enhancing photosensitization. Thus, combined with the mitochondria‐targeting ability, the J‐type aggregate NPs show remarkable in vivo antitumor phototheranostic efficacy, making them have a potential for clinical use.

The use of predesigned bioengineered proteins for self‐grown nanomaterials is a promising strategy that opens new scientific directions for biotic‐abiotic nano‐bio hybrid configurations. The unique properties of nanomaterials can alter the original biological paradigm to allow novel metabolic routes or new activation triggers. In this work, we present a synthetic methodology for self‐grown cadmium sulfide quantum dots in a 12‐mer bioengineered stable protein 1 under ambient conditions. The sized controlled crystalline QDs are characterized and utilized for NADPH regeneration that is in turn used for the activation of the imine reductase enzyme. The presented nano‐bio hybrid system enables the production of a single enantiomeric product that is required for the pharmaceutical industry. Our designed system presents superior activity and can continuously operate for at least 22 hrs with 82 % conversion efficiency. The obtained results may lay the foundations for future nano‐bio hybrid systems that can operate both in vitro and in vivo.
Quantized‐output‐based least squares of ARX systems
Authors: Jing Lida
Published: March 2022

This paper considers the estimates of parameters of stochastic autoregressive exogenous input (ARX) systems with quantized data. The quantized error caused by quantized data brings difficulties to the parameter estimation of ARX systems. Therefore, I start with the boundedness of quantized error and design the size of quantized error thanks to good properties of the least squares. Then the influences of the noise of the system itself and the bounded noise caused by quantized error on the parameter estimation error are analyzed, respectively. The inputs of the system are designed to make the system satisfy the persistent excitation condition, so as to ensure the boundedness of the parameter estimation error. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the theorem.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is a contagious viral infection caused by coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome. It has ravaged several countries and burdened many healthcare systems. As the process of authorizing a novel treatment for human use is extensive and involves multiple phases to obtain safety information and identify potential concerns. Therefore, the fastest and easiest choice was to use United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA)‐approved drugs such as favipiravir and hydroxychloroquine. For the simultaneous estimation of both medications, a simple synchronous spectrofluorimetric approach was established in which both drugs were measured at 372 and 323 nm, respectively in the presence of each other without interference at Δλ 60 nm. The effect of various experimental conditions on synchronous fluorescence intensities were thoroughly investigated and optimized. The maximum synchronous fluorescence intensities were obtained at pH 5.4 using acetate buffer (0.2 M, 0.5 ml) and ethanol as a diluent. Excellent linearity ranges were obtained using 1.0–18.0 ng/ml and 10.0–120.0 ng/ml for favipiravir and hydroxychloroquine, respectively. The approach exhibited high sensitivity with detection limits down to 0.25 ng/ml and 1.52 ng/ml and quantitation limits down to 0.77 ng/ml and 4.62 ng/ml, respectively. Spiking human plasma samples with the studied drugs yielded high % recoveries, allowing a significant bioanalytical application. Moreover, the method was validated according to International Conference on Harmonization guidelines and further applied to commercial pharmaceutical preparations with good results.

Mathcad is a simple‐to‐use and intuitive mathematical software that helps students to minimize the mathematical difficulties involved in solving engineering problems. The design of nonisothermal plug flow reactors (PFR) is a fundamental issue within the field of chemical reaction engineering; however, its teaching–learning process is hindered by students' mathematical difficulties in solving ordinary differential equations. In this paper, the software Mathcad was conveniently integrated into an educational experience through the resolution of two real case studies. In the first one, a simple liquid‐phase reaction is considered in a PFR working at different operating conditions, whereas the second case evaluates a PFR taking place multiple reactions (parallel reactions) with a heat exchanger attached. The assessment of this experience, which was held into two 5‐h Mathcad workshops, revealed that Mathcad made the design of non‐isothermal PFR more appealing, facilitated the understanding of the design process, and brought another dimension to the way the students perform complex calculations.

Published: March 2022

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been proven to be a performant analytical method to analyze both small and macro molecules. Indeed, it is capable of separating compounds of the same nature according to differences in their charge to size ratios, particularly proteins, monoclonal antibodies and peptides. However, one of the major obstacles to reach high separation efficiency remains the adsorption of solutes on the capillary wall. Among the different coating approaches used to control and minimize solute adsorption, polyelectrolyte multilayers can be applied to CE as a versatile approach. These coatings are made up of alternating layers of polycations and polyanions, and may be used in acidic, neutral or basic conditions depending on the solutes to be analyzed. This Review provides an overview of Successive Multiple Ionic‐polymer Layer (SMIL) coatings used in CE, looking at how different parameters induce variations on the electro‐osmotic flow (EOF), separation efficiency and coating stability, as well as their promising applications in the biopharmaceutical field.

G protein‐coupled receptor 65 (GPR65), a susceptibility gene for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), has been identified to promote Th17 cell pathogenicity and induce T cell apoptosis. However, the potential role of GPR65 in modulating CD4+ T cell immune responses in the pathogenesis of IBD stills not entirely understood. Here, we displayed that GPR65 expression was increased in inflamed intestinal mucosa of IBD patients and positively associated with disease activity. It was expressed in CD4+ T cells and robustly upregulated through the TNF‐α‐caspase 3/8 signalling pathway. Ectopic expression of GPR65 significantly promoted the differentiation of peripheral blood (PB) CD4+ T cells from IBD patients and HC to Th1 and Th17 cells in vitro. Importantly, conditional knockout of Gpr65 in CD4+ T cells ameliorated trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)‐induced acute murine colitis and a chronic colitis in Rag1–/– mice reconstituted with CD45RBhighCD4+ T cells in vivo, characterised by attenuated Th1 and Th17 cell immune response in colon mucosa and decreased infiltration of CD4+ T cells, neutrophils and macrophages. RNA‐seq analysis of Gpr65ΔCD4 and Gpr65flx/flxCD4+ T cells revealed that NUAK family kinase 2 (Nuak2) acts as a functional target of Gpr65 to restrict Th1 and Th17 cell immune response. Mechanistically, GPR65 deficiency promoted NUAK2 expression via the cAMP‐PKA‐C‐Raf‐ERK1/2‐LKB1‐mediated signalling pathway. Consistently, silencing of Nuak2 facilitated the differentiation of Gpr65ΔCD4 and Gpr65flx/flxCD4+ T cells into Th1 and Th17 cells. Therefore, our data point out that GPR65 promotes Th1 and Th17 cell immune response and intestinal mucosal inflammation by suppressing NUAK2 expression, and that targeting GPR65 and NUAK2 in CD4+ T cells may represent a novel therapeutic approach for IBD.
