Web-Based Single Session Intervention for Perceived Control Over Anxiety During COVID-19: Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Mullarkey Michael , Dobias Mallory , Sung Jenna , Ahuvia Isaac , Shumake Jason , Beevers Christopher , Schleider Jessica
Published: February 2022

Background

Anxiety is rising across the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic, and social distancing mandates preclude in-person mental health care. Greater perceived control over anxiety has predicted decreased anxiety pathology, including adaptive responses to uncontrollable stressors. Evidence suggests that no-therapist, single-session interventions can strengthen perceived control over emotions like anxiety; similar programs, if designed for the COVID-19 context, could hold substantial public health value.

Objective

Our registered report evaluated a no-therapist, single-session, online intervention targeting perceived control over anxiety in the COVID-19 context against a placebo intervention encouraging handwashing. We tested whether the intervention could (1) decrease generalized anxiety and increase perceived control over anxiety and (2) achieve this without decreasing social-distancing intentions.

Methods

We tested these questions using a between-subjects design in a weighted-probability sample of US adults recruited via a closed online platform (ie, Prolific). All outcomes were indexed via online self-report questionnaires.

Results

Of 522 randomized individuals, 500 (95.8%) completed the baseline survey and intervention. Intent-to-treat analyses using all randomized participants (N=522) found no support for therapeutic or iatrogenic effects; effects on generalized anxiety were d=–0.06 (95% CI –0.27 to 0.15; P=.48), effects on perceived control were d=0.04 (95% CI –0.08 to 0.16; P=.48), and effects on social-distancing intentions were d=–0.02 (95% CI –0.23 to 0.19; P=.83).

Conclusions

Strengths of this study included a large, nationally representative sample and adherence to open science practices. Implications for scalable interventions, including the challenge of targeting perceived control over anxiety, are discussed.

Novel Molecular Networks and Regulatory MicroRNAs in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Multiomics Integration and Interactomics Study (Preprint)
Authors: Khokhar Manoj , Roy Dipayan , Tomo Sojit , Gadwal Ashita , Sharma Praveen , Purohit Purvi
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder with severe comorbidities. A multiomics approach can facilitate the identification of novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers with proper validation of potential microRNA (miRNA) interactions.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to identify significant differentially expressed common target genes in various tissues and their regulating miRNAs from publicly available Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) data sets of patients with T2DM using in silico analysis.

METHODS

Using differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identified from 5 publicly available T2DM data sets, we performed functional enrichment, coexpression, and network analyses to identify pathways, protein-protein interactions, and miRNA-mRNA interactions involved in T2DM.

RESULTS

We extracted 2852, 8631, 5501, 3662, and 3753 DEGs from the expression profiles of GEO data sets GSE38642, GSE25724, GSE20966, GSE26887, and GSE23343, respectively. DEG analysis showed that 16 common genes were enriched in insulin secretion, endocrine resistance, and other T2DM-related pathways. Four DEGs, MAML3, EEF1D, NRG1, and CDK5RAP2, were important in the cluster network regulated by commonly targeted miRNAs (hsa-let-7b-5p, hsa-mir-155-5p, hsa-mir-124-3p, hsa-mir-1-3p), which are involved in the advanced glycation end products (AGE)-receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) signaling pathway, culminating in diabetic complications and endocrine resistance.

CONCLUSIONS

This study identified tissue-specific DEGs in T2DM, especially pertaining to the heart, liver, and pancreas. We identified a total of 16 common DEGs and the top four common targeting miRNAs (hsa-let-7b-5p, hsa-miR-124-3p, hsa-miR-1-3p, and has-miR-155-5p). The miRNAs identified are involved in regulating various pathways, including the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase-protein kinase B, endocrine resistance, and AGE-RAGE signaling pathways.
Performance in Collaborative Activity: Contribution of Intersubjectivity Theory
Authors: Fauquet-Alekhine Philippe , Lahlou Saadi
Published: February 2022

Collaboration at work is a key component for activities in complex socio-technical systems. Reviewing the scientific literature showed that collaborative work activity has been well characterized, showing that perspective-taking is a crucial feature, but no study quantifies what makes the performance of collaborative activity. Analyzing performance during work activity inevitably refers to Cognitive Task Analysis paradigm (CTA). Based on digital ethnography and Intersubjectivity Theory, the study was undertaken in a nuclear power plant where cooperative activities were analyzed using a CTA process tracing method: whilst performing their activity, workers wore a miniature camera at the eye-level to record their activity from the first-person perspective and were then involved in a reflexive analysis of the activity. Results led to introduce the concept of “coherent perspective-taking” and demonstrated that it was the main variable explaining collaborative performance for cooperative activities. The related theoretical process is discussed and organizational factors favoring coherent perspective-taking are identified.
Formato, Inc.: reflexiones sobre estilos de citación y estudios literarios
Authors: Pruneda Sentíes David
Published: February 2022

El artículo reflexiona acerca de los efectos que han tenido los formatos y estilos de citación en la práctica de los estudios literarios estadounidenses. En primer lugar, reviso de manera panorámica los estilos más utilizados en Estados Unidos, aquéllos respaldados y distribuidos por la University of Chicago Press, por la American Psychological Association (APA) y por la Modern Language Association (MLA). La exitosa inserción de los estilos de citación es una consecuencia de la orientación epistemológica adoptada por las universidades estadounidenses durante la segunda mitad del siglo xix, las cuales emularon el sistema educativo superior alemán. En segundo lugar, reflexiono sobre la relación entre la forma y el contenido del texto académico, puesto que una está íntimamente ligada al otro. Ésta es una discusión muy socorrida cuando se analizan textos literarios, pero no ha sido tan desarrollada en relación con la escritura académica. Finalmente, hago un breve estudio de caso sobre la Modern Language Association para esbozar una propuesta teórica y metodológica que pretenda motivar el estudio de la influencia de los estilos de citación en las dinámicas de producción de conocimiento de las disciplinas académicas actuales. Es así que en este artículo argumento que los formatos y estilos de citación moldean ideológica y epistemológicamente las investigaciones realizadas en los estudios literarios estadounidenses. Los efectos de los formatos y estilos de citación son consecuencia de los significados explícitos e implícitos que son trasmitidos tanto por las instituciones que los proponen, como por los manuales en los que se materializan sus lineamientos y sugerencias.

Published: February 2022

Abstract: The Internet of Things (IOT) allows objects to connect over the internet in order to gather and exchange data. The hardwares Arduino, sensors, selectors, and internet comparability are commonly used in these devices. In this context, the MQTT is critical for exchanging data or information between devices in the Internet of Things without knowing one other's identities. This paper discusses various communication service models in the Internet of Things. Model A uses serial USB as a transmission medium, whereas Model B employs the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport protocol, which connects the system to the internet (ESP8266-12). The concept of author and subscriber is utilized in communication. A agent server is used to bring out or subscribe to messages. The agent is in-charge of disseminating messages to consumers based on the message topic. In MQTT, the agent is also known as the server. Mosquitto, Adafruit, and hiveMQ are some of the agents utilized in MQTT. We have demonstrated by the applications of triangulation network for NODE-MCU using co-operative communication using hardware with MQTT protocol.

Secondary Education Students’ and Teachers’ Perspectives on EMI
Authors: Setoningsih Dian Asmi
Published: February 2022

English-medium instruction (EMI) has become popular and developed as a growing global phenomenon nowadays in International secondary education in Indonesia. By comparison to this phenomenon's rapid growth, the EMI has not indicated immediate effectiveness in its application, in particular. The purpose of this research was to investigate the perspectives of students and teachers of the implementation of EMI at an Indonesian International school called Thursina IIBS Malang and to suggest ways to maximize the advantages of the policy while decreasing its disadvantages. To examine in-depth views and experience of the policy, structured interviews were conducted with 8th graders and academic teachers who were chosen purposively. Focus group discussion (FGD) was then employed to triangulate the data. The interview and FGD results showed that both students and teachers demonstrated strong acceptance of the policy because EMI could facilitate the teaching and learning process better and improve their English skills. However, in the EFL context, it was inevitably difficult to use English fully in the classroom where EMI naturally should be implemented fully in no other languages than English. Therefore, this study is expected to provide suggestions from the perspectives of EFL practitioners to maximize the benefit of the EMI policy in an EFL context.
“Your Next Stay Will Be on Us”: Genre Analysis of Hotel Responses to Negative Reviews
Authors: Ishak Cita Nuary
Published: February 2022

The purpose of the present paper is to identify the typical moves, steps, and common expressions in hotels’ responses to negative reviews (RNRs) posted on TripAdvisor. A specialized corpus comprising authentic 29 responses, written by top seven 4- and 5-star hotels in Malang was explored by following Swales’ notion of move analysis. Corpus-assisted analysis was also applied to identify some frequent expressions typical to major moves. The findings revealed that the generic structure of RNRs written by top hotels in Malang contain six moves and 23 steps. Unique to this finding are four additional steps that were distinct from previous studies, but appeared in the corpus: appreciating the stay, promoting hotel’s facility, clarifying misunderstanding, and making amends. ‘Thank you for’ (appearing 30 times in 22 responses) were among the most frequent expressions in major moves such as appreciating the stay and expressing gratitude. Other common expressions were also identified from the corpus and used as the basis of proposing a brief guideline for composing RNRs, which can be useful for teaching business English, or English for Specific Purposes. Overall, these findings outline a generic pattern through which representatives of top hotels in Malang manage customers’ dissatisfactions and complaints. Since these findings were derived from natural-occurring data, they can also be useful to classroom instructions, especially in providing authentic materials.

Published: February 2022

Online learning in Fashion Design Vocational School finds challenges in its application, especially in the practical learning method. One of the strategies used in practicum is by using video blogs in the process of delivering a practical lesson. This study aimed to find student perceptions in learning that utilizes online video blogs, the process of transmitting meaning on distance learning, and advantages and disadvantages of video blogs. There were 5 participants and 1 source person. The methods of data collection were conducted by doing interview, participatory observation, and documentation studies. The method employed in this study was a qualitative case study method conducted in the Decorating Cloth Appreciation class in the 2020/2021 Academic Year. The results showed that: (1) There were positive perceptions in online practicums related to teaching and learning aspects and the delivery of material with vlogs, negative perceptions were found on aspects of internet network limitations and student learning facilities during online learning. (2) The process of transmitting meaning was supported by instructional communication between educators and students. (3) The advantages of video blog media were in the aspect of delivering easy-to-understand content, the flexible and repetitive nature of the media user online. The lack of video blog media lies in the uneven understanding of students, especially in practicum cases which often lead to different findings in practice. It can be concluded that the use of video vlogs can be an alternative learning resource in distance practicum learning.
“No more waiting!”: desigualdade de gênero no entretenimento cinematográfico
Authors: Da Silva Anjo José Edemir , De Melo Mariana Ramos , Bolzan Rosiane da Silva Viana
Published: February 2022

Este ensaio teórico tem o objetivo de incitar reflexões sobre a diversidade de gênero no contexto organizacional. Limitando-se ao campo da indústria audiovisual, buscou-se refletir sobre o recente papel da mulher no ambiente da produção cinematográfica. Nesse sentido, são apresentados os embasamentos teóricos acerca da diversidade de gênero nas organizações e sobre a mulher, especificamente no campo de trabalho da produção audiovisual. Com a apresentação de estudos empíricos atuais, este estudo abordou uma análise descritiva de dados atuais do mercado cinematográfico mundial e, mais detalhadamente, do mercado brasileiro. Com base nas discussões e reflexões sobre a indústria cinematográfica, verifica-se que o mercado do audiovisual ainda é predominantemente dos homens. Este panorama vigente apresenta evidências de um esforço de movimentos feministas, incluindo a classe trabalhadora desse campo organizacional. Parte desses movimentos recebe apoio de iniciativas governamentais, que objetivam uma produção cinematográfica com maior diversidade de gênero. Sugere-se uma agenda de trabalhos sobre diversidade para os EOR. Indo além do papel representacional da mulher nos campos organizacionais, estudos que avaliem a representação de outros grupos minoritários e que promovam a diminuição das desigualdades nas organizações são extremamente necessários.
As mulheres na animação do Brasil: um panorama sobre história, pesquisas e ações coletivas
Authors: Schneider Carla , Prado Laryssa , Lindoso Patrícia , Bolshaw Claudia
Published: February 2022

Considerando a escassez de registros relacionados à presença das mulheres no centenário da história da animação no Brasil, este artigo busca apresentar um panorama de pesquisas que traçaram um perfil dessa historiografia e, mais especificamente, acerca do tema das mulheres, partindo de dois objetivos: (1) entender como se dá o movimento das pesquisas sobre as brasileiras na animação a partir do olhar científico desenvolvido no meio acadêmico; (2) apresentar as ações promovidas pelo Mulher Anima como resposta ao panorama revelado. Enquanto abordagem metodológica, recorremos à análise da bibliografia existente, assim como filmes, pesquisas acadêmicas ou institucionais que tenham sido publicados até 2020. Com esses dados em mãos, uma vez organizados, verificou-se que existe uma movimentação resiliente e cada vez mais consistente de mulheres para mulheres ocorrendo na área. Desse modo, foi possível traçar com maior clareza os caminhos percorridos e abrir possibilidades de investigar mais precisamente os desafios e limitações que ainda são obstáculos para uma representatividade mais equilibrada dentro do setor.
A mundialização no campo da animação japonesa
Authors: França Gustavo de Melo
Published: February 2022

Este artigo apresenta uma análise da animação japonesa a partir da perspectiva da mundialização e do hibridismo cultural em consonância com a reflexão de que produções culturais são históricas e construídas imersas na dinâmica do campo. A pesquisa encontra fundamento central nos estudos de Bourdieu, Ortiz e Canclini, e suas considerações a respeito tanto da capacidade de combinação, reprodução e renovação da cultura. Sob esse prisma, é analisada a animação “Little Witch Academia” (2017) através da apropriação de esquemas presentes no subgênero Mahou Shoujo, e como esses esquemas são tensionados tanto por forças dentro do campo da animação japonesa quanto por forças externas ao campo. Como resultado, este artigo traz uma reflexão de que através da dinamicidade do campo e da prática do hibridismo cultural, a animação japonesa se renova constantemente, podendo produzir de maneira efetiva, em decorrência de um contexto de transnacionalização potencializada pelo streaming, uma construção imagética mundializada.
Um panorama histórico das animações pernambucanas dirigidas por mulheres
Authors: Buccini Marcos
Published: February 2022

Historicamente, a participação de mulheres em posições de destaque no mercado do audiovisual é bem inferior à de homens. Na animação essa realidade se repete. Nos grandes estúdios, como Disney, as mulheres eram contratadas para exercer funções repetitivas, consideradas inferiores. Cabendo aos homens as funções mais importantes e que envolviam a criatividade. Na história da animação, por mais que tenhamos nomes importantes como Lotte Reiniger, Claire Parker, Joy Batchelor, Joanna Quinn, Regina Pessoa e Caroline Leaf, ainda existe uma discrepância entre homens e mulheres em funções principais como a direção. Como parte de uma extensa pesquisa sobre a animação pernambucana, o presente artigo traz um panorama histórico da participação das mulheres nos filmes e séries de Pernambuco, procurando exaltar as principais obras que possuem mulheres como diretoras. Esta é ainda uma abordagem inicial e exploratória, que pretende observar como ocorreu a evolução da participação feminina dentro da filmografia pernambucana, desde a primeira mulher a ser creditada em um filme de animação, Silvana Delácio, em 1979, até o protagonismo exercido atualmente por diretoras como Nara Normande e seu premiadíssimo filme Guaxuma (2018).
O stop motion enquanto linguagem para o ensino e divulgação dos objetivos do desenvolvimento sustentável
Authors: Viana Lucina Reitenbach , Alves Marcia Maria
Published: February 2022

Este artigo discute a utilização do stop motion como linguagem para a inserção dos temas transversais de ensino em currículos de cursos superiores por meio da organização temática proposta pelos Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável - ODS’s (ONU) e seu estudo, conforme propõe o projeto pedagógico do Curso de Design de Animação do UNICURITIBA, como parte integrante da ementa nas disciplinas semestrais de Projeto Integrador. No caso discutido, alunos do primeiro módulo trabalham a temática juntamente com o aprendizado do primeiro conjunto de técnicas de animação, as técnicas tatílicas, cujos resultados são expressos em stop motion. Tendo o estudo dos ODSs como ponto de partida, os alunos se organizam para a escolha temática e para a formulação de um projeto em animação que aborda um dos objetivos apontados pela ONU. Como resultados obtidos nos dados compilados, temos a experiência de produção tátil desenvolvida com o processo de produção artesanal da animação e também a ampliação da consciência e da responsabilidade social com projetos relacionados às causas sociais globais, atitude que perdura nos módulos seguintes quando não há mais a delimitação temática. Como considerações apresenta-se uma forma de inserção possível dos temas transversais através dessa linguagem e apontam-se  alguns indícios de que essa temática juntamente com a proposta pedagógica singular em que a aprendizagem autodirigida guia o processo de projeto desde seu início pode resultar em práticas críticas e reflexivas sobre os problemas sociais vigentes.
Redes animadas: a coprodução nas séries de animação brasileiras
Authors: Canesso Natacha Stefanini
Published: February 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar o cenário da coprodução nas obras de animação seriada das produtoras independentes brasileiras que aprovaram projetos na Chamada Pública 2012 para produção de série de animação no Programa de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento do Audiovisual Brasileiro (Prodav 01/2012). A coprodução é analisada como um condicionante do mercado que dialoga com outros condicionantes presentes nos ambientes externo e interno das produtoras independentes brasileiras e que impacta nos processos criativos e decisórios dos profissionais envolvidos nos projetos e nos resultados obtidos com a obra. Kotler, Armstrong (2015); Kotler, Keller (2016) pautam o referencial teórico-metodológico da pesquisa qualitativa baseada em análise de matérias, reportagens e entrevistas, em observação participativa do mercado de animação e entrevistas com gestores das produtoras. As coproduções de obras de animação seriada que se tornaram referências no mercado brasileiro são resgatadas através de Gatti Junior, Gonçalves e Barbosa (2014) e complementadas com as experiências de outras nove produtoras investigadas. São apontados os objetivos, as características das coproduções e os diálogos estabelecidos com os canais fechados. Conclui-se que foram alcançados bons resultados em coprodução com as obras selecionadas na Chamada Pública Prodav 01/2012: os profissionais envolvidos se especializaram a partir dos diálogos com seus parceiros e as produtoras consolidaram seus negócios. Mas o atual contexto nacional de produção de animação seriada apresenta fragilidades para a manutenção de fluxo contínuo de produção, para o diálogo intermitente com canais e demais parceiros nacionais e internacionais e para a consolidação das redes de negócios.

Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process and Markov Chain-WSM/WPM/WASPAS Approaches to solving the Surface Roughness Problem in the Boring of Carbon Steel IS 2062 GR E250 Plates on CNC Machines
Authors: Abiola Isaac Temitope , Oke Sunday Ayoola
Published: February 2022

This paper establishes how the process engineer in a machine shop could capture the uncertainty and the transition of process parameters to improve the surfaced finish of bored work material (carbon steel IS 2062 GR E250 plates) and select the best parameters to achieve the aim. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process method incorporating geometric mean and a novel Markov chain oriented weightage scheme were used as inputs into three multicriteria methods of weighted sum model (WSM), weighted product model (WPM) and weighted product model and weighted aggregated sum-product, assessment (WASPAS) model. Published literature data were used to validate the methods and their integrations. The novel Markov chain model borrows ideas from the orthogonal array, random number generation and the transition states of parameters. Finally, the optimal parametric setting idea is used to interprete the final results based on an initial response table determination, which are the averages of the signal-to-noise ratios summarized. The most important results are obtained from the fuzzy AHP-Markov WASPAS method. These are the feed parameter (preference score of 1.624) as the best parameter and the depth of cut with the preference score of 1.188 as the worst parameter. The findings indicate that process engineers should attach the most important interest to the feed rate as it is the most effective controlling parameter of surface finish during the boring operation of carbon steel IS 2062 GR E250 plates. Machining shops can employ the framework to evaluate and predict system performance before financial resource commitment to operations.
The phenomena of epidemic crime, deepfakes, fake news, and the role of forensic linguistics
Authors: Ürmösné Simon Gabriella , Nyitrai Endre
Published: February 2022

The present study analyses the phenomena of deepfakes and fake news, together with their linguistic fingerprints, to understand how these may influence the public, including in their decision making. Nowadays, linguistic fingerprints are present mostly in digital forms; therefore, forensic linguistics was also recently introduced as a subject and involves the analysis of linguistic fingerprints. The present study provides an insight into the contribution of linguist and forensic linguist experts in the work of investigative authorities. Linguistic fingerprints can convey messages and provide evidence to support an investigation, such concerning the following questions: Who could the perpetrator be? Who could have written the message? The linguist expert can also help develop a profile of perpetrators, including their likely age, sex, ethnicity, or help prove the validity of news versus fake news as well as other attributes of sources. These aspects are all covered in the present study.
Response of Carbon and Nitrogen Pools of Vegetation, Soil and Microbe to Different Land-use Patterns in Arid and Semi-arid Grasslands
Authors: Gao Xiuli , guan xiao , liu yao , li kui , wang wang , lv hai
Published: February 2022

Previous studies have demonstrated positive net primary production
effects with in-creased precipitation in semi-arid grasslands of Inner
Mongolian. The knowledge of the store and storage potential of carbon
(C) and nitrogen (N) can help us to under-stand how ecosystems would
respond to anthropogenic disturbances under different management
strategies. Therefore, we carried out research on the storage of organic
C and N in four sites where the floras and landform were similar but the
intensities of disturbance by grazing animals varied. The primary
objective of this study was to pinpoint how the store and storage
potential of C and N would respond to grazing exclusion and
precipitation. We determined concentrations of both soil organic car-bon
(SOC) and soil total nitrogen (TN) in the 0–50 cm soil layers.
Concentrations of microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and microbial biomass
nitrogen (MBN) were measured by an innovative method in our study.
Additionally, soil bacteria and fungi content were determined in the
0–50 cm soil layers. The total C , N , MBC and MBN storage were
signiﬁcantly different among the four grasslands (P<0.05), and
they all decreased substantially with grassland degradation and
increased to a signiﬁcant extent with the introduction of natural
grassland (ND). More than 90% C and 95% N stored in soil were lost,
while they were minor in other pools (including those stored in
above-ground biomass, litter, and roots). It is inter-esting to note
that micro-aggregate is a limiting factor to soil and microbial
nutrients pool compared to precipitation. The limit range of C and N
storage observed in these grassland soils suggests that enclosed-fence
may be a valuable mechanism of seques-tering C in the top meter of the
soil proﬁle. The results of this study can provide a basis for better
recovery of grassland that grazing disturbed in semi-arid areas.

Published: February 2022

This research work examines the standard static spacetime (SSST) in terms of
almost Ricci-Yamabe soliton with conformal vector field. It is shown that
almost Ricci-Yamabe soliton in standard static spacetime with function ?
satisfies Poisson-Laplace equation. Next, we consider the function ? is
harmonic and discuss the harmonic aspect of almost Ricci-Yamabe soliton on
SSST. In addition, we investigate the nature of almost Ricci-Yamabe soliton
on SSST with non-rotating Killing vector field. Also, we exhibit that
non-steady non shrinking almost Ricci-Yamabe soliton i.e., ?? 0 on smooth,
connected, and non-compact SSST with Killing vector field satisfies the
Schr?dinger equation for a smooth function ?. Finally, we study almost
Ricci-Yamabe soliton on static perfect fluid and vacuum static spacetime
with conformal Killing vector field.

In this paper, we introduce projective inertial parallel subgradient
extragradient-line algorithm for solving variational inequalites of
L-Lipschitz continuous and monotone mappings which L is unknown. We prove a
strong convergence result under some mild conditions in Hilbert space. We
also present some numerical examples in Euclidean space R3 compared with
Parallel-Viscosity-Type Subgradient Extragradient-Line Method. Finally, we
deblur the Grey and RGB images from common types of blur matrixes Gaussian
blur, Out of focus blur and Motion blur using our proposed algorithm and
show the better efficeincy when the number of types of blur matrixes is large.
On discontinuity problem with an application to threshold activation function
Authors: Taş Nihal
Published: February 2022

In this paper, some discontinuity results are obtained using the number MC(t,
t*) defined as MC(t,t*) = max { d(t,t*), ad(t,Tt) + (1-a)d(t*,St*),
(1-a)d(t,Tt) + ad(t*,St*), b/2 [d(t,St*) + d(t*,Tt)]}, at the common
fixed point. Our results provide a new and distinct solution to an open
problem ?What are the contractive conditions which are strong enough to
generate a fixed point but which do not force the map to be continuous at
fixed point?? given by Rhoades [33]. To do this, we investigate a new
discontinuity theorem at the common fixed point on a complete metric space.
Also an application to threshold activation function is given.
Investigations on the role of cation-π interactions in active centers of superoxide dismutase
Authors: Stojanovic Srdjan , Zlatovic Mario
Published: February 2022

In this study, we have analysed the influence of cation?? interactions on stability and properties of superoxide dismutase (SOD) active centres. The number of interactions formed by arginine is higher than by lysine in the cationic group, while those formed by histidine are comparatively higher in the ? group. The energy contribution resulting from most frequent cation?? interactions was in the lower range of strong hydrogen bonds. The cation?? interactions involving transition metal ions as cation have energy more negative than ?418.4 kJ mol-1. The stabilization centres for these proteins showed that all the residues involved in cation?? interactions were important in locating one or more of such centres. The majority of the residues involved in cation- ? interactions were evolutionarily conserved and might have a significant contribution towards the stability of SOD proteins. The results presented in this work can be very useful for understanding the contribution of cation?? interactions to the stability of SOD active centres.

Data on Kaposi sarcoma in French Guiana are scarce and out of date. This territory presents unique epidemiological features. The objectives of this retrospective study were to analyse the clinical features, outcome and incidence of the different forms of Kaposi sarcoma in patients diagnosed between 1969 and 2019. The study population comprised a total of 52 patients. Clinical forms included epidemic Kaposi sarcoma (n=30), endemic (n=18), iatrogenic (n=2), classic (n=1) and unclassified Kaposi sarcoma (n=1). The mean annual incidence rate of epidemic Kaposi reached a peak in the 1990s (0.93/100,000) then decreased in the 2000s (0.33/100,000), while the incidence of endemic Kaposi sarcoma reached a peak in the 1980s (0.82/100,000) before decreasing in the 2000s (0.12/100,000). Factors associated with the epidemic form were: sexual intercourse between men (p=0.0054) and Haitian origin (p=0.035). The presence of nodules and/or tumour, lesions limited to the lower limbs, and age >65 years were associated with the endemic form. While Creole populations seem to be as affected by endemic Kaposi sarcoma as their African counterparts, the dynamics of Kaposi sarcoma in French Guiana are now dominated by the epidemic form.

Health screening is an important component of health promotion programs, and countries have promoted general health screening targeting the prevention and early management of common chronic diseases. In Korea, a General Health Screening Program (GHSP) began with workers in the 1950s and continuously expanded its target population, and currently includes the adult population. The main target diseases are cerebroand cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, obesity, and related health behaviors. Other target conditions include other diseases (e.g., anemia, liver disease, visual/auditory impairment), mental health (e.g., depression), and geriatric disease and function (osteoporosis, dementia, risk of fall, etc.). The National Health Information Database, including GHSP information, is now extensively used in clinical and public health research. The participation rate is currently 70% to 80%, but varies according to age, disability, and the socioeconomic status. There is a need for a more systematic evaluation of the screening items, reducing disparity gaps in participation, and linking GHSP to actual health promotion.
Pássaros engaiolados e anjos assassinados

Para Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), o artista verdadeiro é alguém que põe a vida em movimento, abre caminhos bloqueados, vê e faz ver o que ainda será. Como hipótese de trabalho, portanto, assumimos que a arte possui uma perspectiva profética, sendo assim, nosso artigo aborda a dimensão profética da obra artística da estilista brasileira Zuzu Angel (1921-1976). Tendo perdido seu filho Stuart Edgar Angel Jones (1946-1971), torturado e assassinado por agentes do regime ditatorial brasileiro, ela transformou sua arte em grito de protesto – e realizou aquele que pode ser considerado o primeiro desfile de moda político da história. As roupas com estampas e bordados de pássaros engaiolados e anjos colocados na mira de tanques e canhões, para além do aspecto político em si, eram expressões de uma energia espiritual, que pode ser interpretada em correlação com a espiritualidade da libertação, encarnada na América Latina no âmbito das igrejas cristãs a partir da década de 1960. Em plena ditadura civil-militar no Brasil, os caminhos de Zuzu Angel se entrecruzaram com a vida e a obra de D. Paulo Evaristo, Cardeal Arns (1921-2016) – profeta da esperança e da resistência. O testemunho de ambos é um grito que ecoa na história: “Brasil, nunca mais”.
