Medo, infodemia e desinformação: a timeline dos discursos sobre coronavírus nas redes sociais
Authors: Malini Fabio , Cavalcanti Camilla Reisler , Bergami Ana Paula Miranda Costa , Venturott Ligia Iunes , Tessarolo Marcela
Published: March 2021

O presente artigo mapeia e analisa as primeiras narrativas sobre o surgimento do novo coronavírus elaboradas pelos usuários brasileiros no Twitter. Para isso, coletamos no Twitter, por meio de big data, as mensagens contendo a palavra coronavírus (visto que esta era o único termo assertivo sobre a Covid-19), entre os dias 30 de dezembro de 2019 a 21 de janeiro de 2020. Por meio de mineração dos dados, identificamos 10.661 postagens em português. Observamos que as narrativas sobre a Covid-19 vão formando uma cronologia, que conceituamos de timeline discursiva de redes de narrativa, em que é possível estudar as mudanças da opinião pública, a partir dos léxicos que entram e saem da arena política das redes sociais. Foi a partir dessa metodologia temporal que concluímos que viver a incerteza, o medo do desconhecido, é a base emocional comum que pauta o comportamento de quem passou a se informar e conversar nas redes sociais sobre as características e os impactos da Covid-19.
A Perception-based Investigation on Corruption in Higher Education: Evidence from the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Butmalai Victoria , Qijun Liu
Published: March 2021

The study sheds light on the phenomenon of corruption in the Republic of Moldova's Higher Education System. It provides tangible evidence that corruption in the university environment isn't a merely unfounded rumor but a sad reality, sometimes challenging to capture and even more difficult to change. The research, exploratory in its nature, has thoroughly examined and analyzed the perceptions of the main education actors directly involved in the academic processes in order to discover the extent and the different facets of educational corruption and provide recommendations for preventing and opposing the phenomenon.To empirically understand the roots and dimensions of corruption in Moldova's higher education, the adopted methodology was based on two approaches: qualitative and quantitative.The qualitative part of the study, representing as well the preparatory basis for the quantitative approach, was conducted in two stages combining individual interviews and focus groups with the participation of the main educational stakeholders, namely: professors, students, and administrative officials. The quantitative phase included a broad survey based on three questionnaires executed on a sample of 671 respondents. The sample was composed of professors, students, and administrative personnel. The survey results show that for the three categories of actors directly involved in university life, corruption is a common phenomenon, seriously harming the image of the Moldovan universities and endangering the processes of human capital formation. The causes of corruption find their roots in the ineffective human and procedural management within the Higher Education system, Moldovan culture, and various educational actors' behaviors.
Exploring National Culture Impact on Logistics Performance
Authors: Kesavan Deepak P. , Deif Ahmed M.
Published: March 2021

The increased logistics complexity due to supply chain globalization requires deeper understanding of a country's logistics performance. This performance is usually captured through infrastructure, services, and procedure elements and is understood in operational and economical terms. This exploratory research adds a social view to understand logistics performance variation across countries through focusing on their national culture dimensions. Using secondary data from the international Logistics Performance Index (LPI) report as well as the scores from Hofstede national culture dimension surveys, the impact of national culture on logistics performance was explored. Statistical results showed Power Distance and Uncertainty Avoidance dimensions were found to have a negative correlation with LPI while Individualism as well as Long-Term Orientation were both positively correlated to LPI. This cultural understanding adds to the growing social literature research on logistics performance and can guide logistics managers in their decisions regarding where and when to locate their resources.

Seismic collapse safety of reinforced concrete moment resisting frames with/without beam-column joint detailing
Authors: Ahmad Naveed , Rizwan Muhammad , Ashraf Muhammad , Khan Akhtar Naeem , Ali Qaisar
Published: March 2021

FEMA-P695 procedure was applied for seismic collapse safety evaluation of reinforced concrete moment resisting frames with/without beam-column joint detailing common in Pakistan. The deficient frame lacks shear reinforcement in joints and uses concrete of low compressive strength. Shake-table tests were performed on 1:3 reduced scale two-story models, to understand the progressive inelastic response of chosen frames and calibrate the inelastic finite-element based models. The seismic design factors i.e. response modification coefficient, overstrength, ductility, and displacement amplification factors (R, W0, Rμ, Cd) were quantified. Response modification factor R = 7.05 was obtained for the frame with beam-column joint detailing while R = 5.30 was obtained for the deficient frame. The corresponding deflection amplification factor Cd/R was found equal to 0.82 and 1.03, respectively. A suite of design spectrum compatible accelerograms was obtained from PEER strong ground motions for incremental dynamic analysis of numerical models. Collapse fragility functions were developed using a probabilistic nonlinear dynamic reliability-based method. The collapse margin ratio (CMR) was calculated as the ratio of seismic intensity corresponding to the 50th percentile collapse probability to the seismic intensity corresponding to the MCE level ground motions. It was critically compared with the acceptable CMR (i.e. the CMR computed with reference to a seismic intensity corresponding to the 10% collapse probability instead of MCE level ground motions). Frame with shear reinforcement in beam-column joints has achieved CMR 11% higher than the acceptable thus passing the criterion. However, the deficient frame achieved CMR 29% less than the conforming frame. This confirms the efficacy of beam-column joint detailing in reducing collapse risk.

Policy coherence in the area of safety and justice – A longitudinal analysis of service delivery per euro spent in the S&J sector during the period 1980-2016

In the safety and justice policy area, there is a strong intertwining between performances of the various sectors, such as police, judiciary and prison system. The question is whether policy takes these interdependencies into account sufficiently. Are the resources used – from a broader wealth perspective – optimally allocated amongst the various safety and justice provisions? The authors answer this question on the basis of an integrated time series analysis of the productivity development of the Dutch safety and justice system in the period 1980-2016. The analysis shows that productivity of safety and justice services has hardly changed since 1980. At best, in 2016, citizens will receive as much value per euro of taxpayers’ money as in 1980, but probably slightly less. It is striking, however, that the S&J system as a whole operates more efficient than the sum of its parts (the individual sectors). There have been substantial changes in the allocation of resources over time. Obviously money from the police was transferred to the judiciary and municipalities.

Sob o estigma do fundamentalismo: algumas reflexões sobre um conceito controverso
Authors: Rocha Daniel
Published: March 2021

Este artigo procura discutir o atual uso inflacionado do conceito de fundamentalismo (na mídia e na reflexão acadêmica) e apresentar algumas reflexões sobre os limites e polêmicas em torno da noção de fundamentalismo. A partir da perspectiva da História dos Conceitos, especialmente das reflexões de Reinhart Koselleck, o texto procura reconstruir a história do conceito de fundamentalismo nos Estados Unidos, apresentando alguns momentos essenciais para se entender as transformações no uso do conceito ao longo do século XX. Ressalta-se a importância da diferenciação entre o “fundamentalismo histórico” (protestante e norte-americano) e sua ampliação no sentido de um “fundamentalismo global”, perspectiva que ganhou força na academia a partir dos anos 1980. A partir dessas reflexões, o artigo procura apresentar um debate atual entre os defensores do uso do conceito numa perspectiva comparativa e os que consideram que a utilização de um conceito ampliado de fundamentalismo tem se tornado mais um complicador do que uma ferramenta analítica relevante nos estudos sobre a religião na contemporaneidade.
A revista Paz e Terra: um lugar da memória da comunicação religiosa, ecumênica e política no Brasil
Authors: Cunha Magali do Nascimento
Published: March 2021

Este artigo tem por objetivo examinar a relevância de produções de contra-informação desenvolvidas durante a ditadura militar no Brasil por grupos religiosos. O objeto é a revista Paz e Terra, da Editora Civilização Brasileira nos anos 1960, como iniciativa ímpar no campo da comunicação religiosa, ecumênica e política. A fim de se responder à questão-problema “qual o lugar da revista Paz e Terra na memória das produções midiáticas religiosas no Brasil?” são tomados por base estudos sobre “suportes da memória” e “lugares de memória”. A articulação entre a narrativa da memória de Paz e Terra e a descrição do conteúdo dos dez exemplares publicados, que forma a metodologia da pesquisa empregada, foi feita com base no acervo da revista, em pesquisa documental, em depoimentos de personagens envolvidas, colhidos durante pesquisa para o Mestrado em Memória Social da autora, e em obras sobre a Editora Civilização Brasileira e seu editor Ênio Silveira, sobre as lideranças evangélicas envolvidas no projeto e sobre a própria revista. Busca-se, com este texto, contribuir com a ampliação das abordagens sobre os estudos em mídia, religião e política no Brasil, alargando o foco das análises críticas centradas em produções contemporâneas e aplicando a chave referencial da memória
Imprensa católica e identidade ultramontana no Brasil do século XIX: uma análise a partir do jornal O Apóstolo
Authors: Silva Ana Rosa Cloclet da
Published: March 2021

O presente artigo analisa a experiência brasileira da secularização, observando o modo como, nas páginas da imprensa católica publicada na segunda metade do século XIX, o religioso e o secular se articularam de diferentes maneiras e se modelaram reciprocamente. Como argumento central, sustenta que a difusão das formas impressas, considerada uma das principais condições históricas associadas ao advento da modernidade ocidental, foi também responsável, no contexto analisado, pela veiculação dos referenciais associados ao catolicismo romanizado e a uma Igreja independente do regalismo imperial. Na sua defesa, clérigos e leigos de tendência ultramontana fizeram uso de diversos atores e instrumentos, dentre os quais a imprensa periódica. Desse modo, partindo do pressuposto teórico de que as identidades são portadoras de uma dimensão relacional e política, no âmbito da qual os conflitos sociais se traduzem em disputas discursivas, o artigo elege como fonte privilegiada o periódico O Apóstolo, semanário católico editado no Rio de Janeiro entre 1866 e 1891 e um dos principais porta-vozes dos ideais e projetos ultramontanos. Mediante a análise de seus conteúdos discursivos, espera-se identificar alguns dos seus principais sentidos de alteridade -associados aos supostos “erros da modernidade” -, bem como uma identificação positiva atrelada às diretrizes emanadas da Santa Sé.
Um rio de opinião subterrâneo: contrapúblicos terrivelmente evangélicos
Authors: Paula Leandro de
Published: March 2021

Este artigo persegue dois objetivos centrais. O primeiro consiste em indicar certa representação do segmento evangélico verificável na produção de conglomerados de mídia do país na última década, que concorreu para a generalização de imaginários em torno desta identidade religiosa. O segundo propósito é apontar como essas imagens recorrentes suscitaram um discurso reativo de mídias noticiosas evangélicas a respeito da imprensa secular, questionada em sua capacidade de vocalizar o interesse público. Baseado em ferramentas de Análise do Discurso, o artigo investiga conteúdos publicados entre 2007 e 2019 pela revista Época, pelo jornal Folha de São Paulo, pela revista Cristianismo Hoje e pelo site Gospel Prime. As conclusões apontam para a emergência de uma disputa pelo sentido do “público“ entre mídias seculares e religiosas, e para a crescente posicionalidade dos evangélicos frente à oferta da grande imprensa.

Todos os caminhos levam a Cedamusa: o antimodernismo pós-moderno de Padre∕Dom Rifan na constituição do neotradicionalismo da Administração Apostólica Pessoal São João Maria Vianney
Authors: Zaquieu-Higino Paulo Victor
Published: March 2021

Atualmente, observa-se o crescimento do número de adeptos às vertentes conservadoras de movimentos políticos e religiosos no cenário brasileiro e mundial. No catolicismo, destacam-se os chamados tradicionalistas, representantes da ala ultraconservadora da Igreja. Os “tradicionalistas de Campos”, em específico, encontram-se divididos entre as ideias apologéticas do Concílio de Trento, as exigências da sociedade (pós)moderna e a reforma proposta pelo Vaticano II, necessitando desenvolver adaptação do seu modo de comunicar seu ideal antimodernista, sem romper sua identidade idealizada. Nesse contexto, é produzida nova identidade (a Administração Apostólica Pessoal São João Maria Vianey) dentro de uma pluralidade de identidades, comunicando-se com estas, ainda que para negá-las – a Igreja Pós Conciliar e a sociedade onde está inserida. Portanto, nesta pesquisa, pretende-se analisar o ethos discursivo de Padre/Dom Rifan, nos seus livros Quer agrade, quer desagrade, escrito quando era porta voz da cismática União sacerdotal São João Maria Vianney, e o livro Sementes, escrito como bispo e administrador apostólico da referida Administração Apostólica. A partir da metodologia e referencial teórico da Análise do Discurso de filiação francesa, busca-se uma compreensão das bricolagens feitas pelo atual bispo administrador, que constituem o neotradicionalismo da Administração Apostólica, a qual, inspirada por seu líder, desenvolve um antimodernismo pós-moderno.

A tradução fundamentalista: equivalências hermenêuticas entre teologias exclusivistas e modelos democráticos elitistas
Authors: Zeferino Jefferson , Andrade Rodrigo de
Published: March 2021

O declínio democrático em vários países latino-americanos tem acompanhado o crescimento da força de setores religiosos. Este texto objetiva interpretar a presença pública das igrejas cristãs e de seus representantes políticos com base na tradução como processo hermenêutico que observa o modo das relações entre religião e espaço público. Por meio de uma análise bibliográfica, identifica-se na aplicação da hermenêutica ricoeuriana no campo de estudos da religião a possibilidade de interpretação das traduções concretas intersubjetivas e intercontextuais presentes no espaço público em duas frentes: numa dinâmica intralinguística, a saber, a relação entre grupos cristãos que possuem convergências suficientes para uma ação programática em pautas morais e econômicas; e numa dimensão interlinguística que pode ser observada na relação entre grupos religiosos e modelos democráticos elitistas cujo constante estado de crise não deixa de ser benéfico para determinados setores. A metáfora das religiões como idiomas, também permite a identificação de incompatibilidades hermenêuticas entre distintos discursos teológicos no espaço público mesmo quando oriundos da mesma tradição. Percebe-se, portanto, que a tradução como processo hermenêutico de análise de discursos teológicos pode se consolidar como mais uma ferramenta no campo de estudos das relações entre religião e espaço público.
As relações interdisciplinares em Ciências das Religiões
Authors: Possebon Elisa Pereira Gonsalves , Possebon Fabricio
Published: March 2021

O artigo apresenta uma reflexão, no ambiente acadêmico, sobre as relações interdisciplinares, que são distintas da disciplinaridade e da multidisciplinaridade, estas já bem sedimentadas. Para tanto, compreende a disciplina como um campo específico de conhecimento, em termos teóricos e metodológicos, situando a interdisciplinaridade como uma resposta às limitações impostas pela especialização disciplinar. A partir de uma metodologia que utiliza a revisão bibliográfica como elemento central, conclui que a vocação do campo de conhecimento das Ciências das Religiões para a interdisciplinaridade se dá pela disposição e possibilidade teórica e organizacional de pesquisadores, de diferentes áreas de conhecimento,compartilharem de um mesmo espaço acadêmico. Destaca a identidade das Ciências das Religiões, enquanto disciplina, e remete para a importância de diálogos interdisciplinares para a produção de novos conhecimentos. Recorda finalmente o trabalho pioneiro de Max Muller, considerado um dos fundadores da área de Ciências das Religiões, cujo método por ele proposto, chamado filológico, dá pistas para a aplicação do conceito de interdisciplinaridade.

Esse artigo foi originalmente publicado como capítulo do livro Mysticism and Philosophical Analysis, organizado por Steven T. Katz e publicado pela Oxford University Press em 1978. O texto trata de questões epistemológicas da mística e problematiza uma série de concepções dessa temática, tendo por principal objetivo marcar uma maneira de abordar os dados fornecidos pelos místicos, concentrando-se especialmente na tentativa de defender a concepção de que assim como as ideias são mediadas por contextos culturais, sociais e religiosos, as experiências místicas são vivenciadas, ou como prefere dizer o autor, interpretadas, de formas diferenciadas de acordo com esses mesmos contextos.
“Viajando em Jesus”: os evangélicos norte-americanos e a contracultura
Authors: Schäfer Axel R.
Published: March 2021

The political mobilization of conservative Protestants in the United States since the 1970s is commonly viewed as having resulted from a “backlash” against the alleged iniquities of the 1960s, including the excess-es of the counterculture. In contrast, this article maintains that conservative Protestant efforts to infiltrate and absorb the counterculture contributed to the organizational strength, cultural attractiveness, and politi-cal efficacy of the New Christian Right. The essay advances three arguments: First, that evangelicals did not simply reject the countercultural ideas of the 1960s, but absorbed and extended its key sentiments. Second, that conservative Protestantism’s appropriation of countercultural rhetoric and organizational styles played a significant role in the right-wing political mobilization of evangelicals. And third, that the merger of evan-gelical Christianity and countercultural styles, rather than their antagonism, ended up being one of the most enduring legacies of the sixties. In revisiting the relationship between the counterculture and evangelicalism, the essay also explores the larger implications for understanding the relationship between religion and poli-tics. The New Christian Right domesticated genuinely insurgent impulses within the evangelical resurgence. By the same token, it nurtured the conservative components of the counterculture. Conservative Protestant-ism thus constituted a political movement that channeled insurgencies into a cultural form that relegitimized the fundamental trajectories of liberal capitalism and consumerist society.

Published: March 2021

Nachdem am 24. Oktober 2020 die Räumung des Dannenröder Waldes begann, begann wie so oft auch die Auseinandersetzung der Justiz mit den jungen Demonstrierenden und Klimaschützer*innen, wobei Justitia wie so oft in politischen Konflikten mit Repression reagiert. Innerhalb weniger Tage nach Beginn der Räumung waren Hunderte Personen fest-, bzw. in Gewahrsam genommen oder mit Platzverweisen versehen. Gegen viele Hundert Personen wird zwischenzeitlich wegen Ordnungswidrigkeiten und Straftaten ermittelt (bis hin zu versuchten Tötungsdelikten). Gegen Dutzende wurden Haftbefehle (wg. Nötigung) erlassen und in neun Fällen auch vollstreckt, in den JVAs I und III in Frankfurt am Main, sämtlich Verfahren in der Zuständigkeit der Staatsanwaltschaft Frankfurt. Was war passiert: mehrere Demonstrierende hatten sich von verschiedenen Autobahnbrücken abgeseilt, um gegen die geplante (und mittlerweile vollendete) Räumung des Dannenröder Waldes für den Ausbau der A 45 zwischen Marburg und Gießen zu demonstrieren.

Eukaryotic DNA replication initiates during S phase from origins that have been licensed in the preceding G1 phase. Here, we compare ChIP-seq profiles of the licensing factors Orc2, Orc3, Mcm3, and Mcm7 with gene expression, replication timing, and fork directionality profiles obtained by RNA-seq, Repli-seq, and OK-seq. Both, the origin recognition complex (ORC) and the minichromosome maintenance complex (MCM) are significantly and homogeneously depleted from transcribed genes, enriched at gene promoters, and more abundant in early- than in late-replicating domains. Surprisingly, after controlling these variables, no difference in ORC/MCM density is detected between initiation zones, termination zones, unidirectionally replicating regions, and randomly replicating regions. Therefore, ORC/MCM density correlates with replication timing but does not solely regulate the probability of replication initiation. Interestingly, H4K20me3, a histone modification proposed to facilitate late origin licensing, was enriched in late-replicating initiation zones and gene deserts of stochastic replication fork direction. We discuss potential mechanisms specifying when and where replication initiates in human cells.
Longitudinal metabarcode analysis of karst bacterioplankton microbiomes provide evidence of epikarst to cave transport and community succession
Authors: Morse Kendall V. , Richardson Dylan R. , Brown Teresa L. , Vangundy Robert D. , Cahoon Aubrey Bruce
Published: March 2021

Caves are often assumed to be static environments separated from weather changes experienced on the surface. The high humidity and stability of these subterranean environments make them attractive to many different organisms including microbes such as bacteria and protists. Cave waters generally originate from the surface, may be filtered by overlying soils, can accumulate in interstitial epikarst zones underground, and emerge in caves as streams, pools and droplets on speleothems. Water movement is the primary architect of karst caves, and depending on the hydrologic connectivity between surface and subsurface, is the most likely medium for the introduction of microbes to caves. Recently published metabarcoding surveys of karst cave soils and speleothems have suggested that the vast majority of bacteria residing in these habitats do not occur on the surface, calling into question the role of microbial transport by surface waters. The purpose of this study was to use metabarcoding to monitor the aquatic prokaryotic microbiome of a cave for 1 year, conduct longitudinal analyses of the cave’s aquatic bacterioplankton, and compare it to nearby surface water. Water samples were collected from two locations inside Panel Cave in Natural Tunnel State Park in Duffield, VA and two locations outside of the cave. Of the two cave locations, one was fed by groundwater and drip water and the other by infiltrating surface water. A total of 1,854 distinct prokaryotic ASVs were detected from cave samples and 245 (13.1%) were not found in surface samples. PCo analysis demonstrated a marginal delineation between two cave sample sites and between cave and surface microbiomes suggesting the aquatic bacterioplankton in a karst cave is much more similar to surface microbes than reported from speleothems and soils. Most surprisingly, there was a cave microbe population and diversity bloom in the fall months whereas biodiversity remained relatively steady on the surface. The cave microbiome was more similar to the surface before the bloom than during and afterwards. This event demonstrates that large influxes of bacteria and particulate organic matter can enter the cave from either the surface or interstitial zones and the divergence of the cave microbiome from the surface demonstrates movement of microbes from the epikarst zones into the cave.

Introduction: Now-a-days quality is the key aspect of clinical laboratory services. The six sigma metrics is an important quality measurement method for evaluating the performance of the clinical laboratory. Aim: To assess the analytical performance of clinical biochemistry laboratory by utilising thyroid profile and cortisol parameters from Internal Quality Control (IQC) data and to calculate sigma values. Materials and Methods: Study was conducted at Clinical Biochemistry Laboratory, Dhiraj General Hospital, Piparia, Gujarat, India. Retrospectively, IQC data of thyroid profile and cortisol were utilised for six subsequent months (July to December 2019). Coefficient of Variation (CV%) and bias were calculated from IQC data, from that the sigma values were calculated. The sigma values <3, >3 and >6 were indicated by poor performance procedure, good performance and world class performance, respectively. Results: The sigma values were estimated by calculating mean of six months. The mean sigma value of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Cortisol were >3 for six months which indicated the good performance. However, sigma value of Triiodothyronine (T3), Tetraiodothyronine (T4) were found to be <3 which indicated poor performance. Conclusion: Six sigma methodology applications for thyroid profile and cortisol was evaluated, it was generally found as good. While T3 and T4 parameters showed low sigma values which requires detailed root cause analysis of analytical process. With the help of six sigma methodology, in clinical biochemistry laboratories, an appropriate Quality Control (QC) programming should be done for each parameter. To maintain six sigma levels is challenging to quality management personnel of laboratory, but it will be helpful to improve quality level in the clinical laboratories.

This study evaluated air pollution tolerance plants as well as anticipated performance indices of some medicinal plants growing in the Lokpaukwu rock quarrying area in order ascertain their suitability for green belt development. Two quarry locations A which is older and has a higher level of activity, and B were used for the study with a control location at Abia State University, Uturu. Out of the sixteen dominant plant species identified, five species; Alchornea cordifolia, Baphia pubescens, Napoleona imperialis, Nauclea latifolia and Vitex doniana. were randomly selected for the study. Leaf samples were randomly collected in triplicate from the lowest branch of each selected plants with similar characteristics. Relative water content of plants was significantly higher (p<0.05) at the study area suggesting stomatal occlusion by dust while chlorophyll content was significantly lower at the quarry sites, a clear indication of pollution stress. Chlorophyll content was also lower in all plants at site B, being significant in N. imperialis and V. doniana. N. imperialis had the highest APTI of 19.15 at the quarry site suggesting suitability for green belt development at the quarry site. Based on API, V. doniana is the most suitable for green belt development among the five plant species.

In many solid tumors including triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC), upregulation of the interleukin‐4 receptor (IL‐4R) has been shown to promote cancer cell proliferation, apoptotic resistance, metastatic potential, and a Th2 response in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Since immunosuppressive cells in the TME and spleen including myeloid‐derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) also express the IL‐4R, we hypothesized that selective depletion of IL‐4R‐bearing cells in TNBC would result in the direct killing of tumor cells and the depletion of immunosuppressive cells and lead to an enhanced antitumor response. To selectively target IL‐4R+ cells, we employed DABIL‐4, a fusion protein toxin consisting of the catalytic and translocation domains of diphtheria toxin fused to murine IL‐4. As anticipated, DABIL‐4 has potent cytotoxic activity against TNBC cells both in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrate in the murine 4T1 TNBC model that DABIL‐4 significantly reduces tumor growth, splenomegaly, and lung metastases. Importantly, we also show that the administration of DABIL‐4 results in the selective depletion of MDSCs, TAMs, and regulatory T cells in treated mice, with a concomitant increase in IFN‐γ+ CD8 effector T cells in the TME. Since the 4T1 antitumor activity of DABIL‐4 was largely diminished in IL‐4R knockout mice, we postulate that DABIL‐4 functions primarily as an immunotherapeutic by the depletion of MDSCs, TAMs, and regulatory T cells. NanoString analysis of control and treated tumors confirmed and extended these observations by showing a marked decline of mRNA transcripts that are associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis. In conclusion, we demonstrate that DABIL‐4 targeting of both tumor and immunosuppressive host cells likely represents a novel and effective treatment strategy for 4T1 TNBC and warrants further study.

The generation of mineral crystals on the implant surface under physiological conditions is an efficient way to repair defects in hard tissues. However, there is still a challenge to mimic the complicated structure of hard tissue with well bonding stability. Herein, a peptide sequence: Leu–Asp–Asp–Try–Glu–Glu–Ser–Cys is designed. The peptide forms a self‐assembled peptide (SAP) coating at the solid/water interface via a facile and rapid process. The abundant functional groups on the SAP coating can be utilized to bind with calcium ions trough chelation, which may facilitate the formation of c‐axis hydroxyapatite crystals. Owing to the amyloid adhesion properties, a c‐axis hydroxyapatite layer with low wear extent and well bonding robustness can be integrated with virtually arbitrary material irrespective of their size and morphology, even hard tissues such as dentin. This suggests that the facile process may hold a great potential application in repairing hard tissue and designing complex materials.

RNA can alter the expression of endogenous genes and can be used to express therapeutic proteins. As a result, RNA‐based therapies have recently mitigated disease in patients. Yet most potential RNA therapies cannot currently be developed, in large part because delivering therapeutic quantities of RNA drugs to diseased cells remains difficult. Here, recent studies focused on the biological hurdles that make in vivo drug delivery challenging are described. Then RNA drugs that have overcome these challenges in humans, focusing on siRNA to treat liver disease and mRNA to vaccinate against COVID, are discussed. Finally, research centered on improving drug delivery to new tissues is highlighted, including the development of high‐throughput in vivo nanoparticle DNA barcoding assays capable of testing over 100 distinct nanoparticles in a single animal.

This study describes a new stacked structure with porous nanofiber‐based piezoelectric nanogenerator by near‐field electrospinning. The 3D‐stacked porous nanofibers structure enhances the stress concentration effect such that the PVDF‐TrFE nanofibers can promote higher performance in electrical output. By mimicking the additive manufacturing in near‐field electrospinning (NFES) setup, structurally simple and piezoelectrically effective fabrication is capable of converting stacked porous PVDF‐TrFE nanofiber into a high‐performance sensor. The electrical voltage output performance is enhanced more than 2.7 times compared with primitive PVDF‐TrFE nanofiber. Furthermore, a self‐powered foot pressure recognition statistical system and an individual gait biometrics system are developed to provide gait recognition and a new biometrics technology. A personal sequence gait piezoelectric signal recognition rate of 86% is achieved by deep learning BiLSTM model. Furthermore, besides expanding the application area of self‐powered system to smart wearable device monitoring, this work also stimulates the evolution of big data analytics in the intelligent medical industry.

The introduction of additional functionalities to materials is exceptionally important as it opens new applications for them. Aluminum, one of the most abundant and important materials, is coated with luminescent Sm2+‐doped γ‐aluminium oxide to impart thermometric functionality. Considering the potential industrial applications, two of the most widely used aluminum alloys, 6061 and 7075, are also coated. For this purpose, plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), an effective technique for producing hard ceramic coatings on various metal surfaces, is used. It is shown that thermometric coatings can be produced on aluminum in one‐step process by adding the raw precursor to the electrolyte. The valence reduction of Ln3+ to Ln2+ is achieved during the PEO process. The intense and broad (orange to deep red) emission from the coating shows supersensitivity to temperature changes over the 100–648 K range. The temperature is obtained from the coating emission using i) the emission intensity ratio method, ii) emission lifetime, and iii) emission band position with sensitivities of 4.8% K−1, 1.2% K−1, and 8 cm−1 K−1, respectively. Several applications would benefit from the thermometric coating's excellent temperature resolution of 0.04 K and the choice of three temperature read‐outs that facilitate the coating's use in different luminescence thermometry setups.

The electrophotocatalytic heterofunctionalization of arenes is described. Using 2,3‐dichloro‐5,6‐dicyanoquinone (DDQ) under a mild electrochemical potential with visible‐light irradiation, arenes undergo oxidant‐free hydroxylation, alkoxylation, and amination with high chemoselectivity. In addition to batch reactions, an electrophotocatalytic recirculating flow process is demonstrated, enabling the conversion of benzene to phenol on a gram scale.
