Co-creating sustainable urban metabolism towards healthier cities
Authors: Fróes Isabel , Lasthein Malene Køster 
Published: June 2020

AbstractIn this article, we initially present and discuss the existing concepts covering sustainable and healthy cities, and urban metabolism infrastructure. The urban metabolism infrastructure distributes a wide range of key resources to citizens through various modes of transportation. Although the technical infrastructure and people in cities tend to be perceived as separate systems, they need to be acknowledged as co-dependent. Thus, co-creating urban metabolism and its infrastructure should be an integral part of developing a healthy city. We use mobility and transportation examples from the Cities-4-People project as a case to discuss the role of citizens and local stakeholders in co-creating solutions to improve their cities’ mobility through the urban metabolism and sustainability lens. Furthermore, we discuss the project process outcomes, leading to a set of guidelines towards achieving healthier cities.

Published: June 2020

BackgroundIdentifying profiles of people with mental and substance use disorders who use emergency departments may help guide the development of interventions more appropriate to their particular characteristics and needs.AimsTo develop a typology for the frequency of visits to the emergency department for mental health reasons based on the Andersen model.MethodQuestionnaires were completed by patients who attended an emergency department (n= 320), recruited in Quebec (Canada), and administrative data were obtained related to sociodemographic/socioeconomic characteristics, mental health diagnoses including alcohol and drug use, and emergency department and mental health service utilization. A cluster analysis was performed, identifying needs, predisposing and enabling factors that differentiated subclasses of participants according to frequency of emergency department visits for mental health reasons.ResultsFour classes were identified. Class 1 comprised individuals with moderate emergency department use and low use of other health services; mostly young, economically disadvantaged males with substance use disorders. Class 2 comprised individuals with high emergency department and specialized health service use, with multiple mental and substance use disorders. Class 3 comprised middle-aged, economically advantaged females with common mental disorders, who made moderate use of emergency departments but consulted general practitioners. Class 4 comprised older individuals with multiple chronic physical illnesses co-occurring with mental disorders, who made moderate use of the emergency department, but mainly consulted general practitioners.ConclusionsThe study found heterogeneity in emergency department use for mental health reasons, as each of the four classes represented distinct needs, predisposing and enabling factors. As such, interventions should be tailored to different classes of patients who use emergency departments, based on their characteristics.
Targeted repression of Plasmodium apicortin by host microRNA impairs malaria parasite growth and invasion

Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT
Mature human erythrocytes contain a rich pool of microRNAs (miRNAs), which result from differentiation of the erythrocytes during the course of haematopoiesis. Recent studies have described the effect of erythrocytic miRNAs on the invasion and growth of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum during the asexual blood stage of its life cycle. In this work, we have identified two erythrocytic miRNAs, miR-150-3p and miR-197-5p, that show favourable in silico hybridization with Plasmodium apicortin, a protein with putative microtubule-stabilizing properties. Co-expression of P. falciparum apicortin and these two miRNAs in a cell line model resulted in downregulation of apicortin at both the RNA and protein level. To create a disease model of erythrocytes containing miRNAs, chemically synthesized mimics of miR-150-3p and miR-197-5p were loaded into erythrocytes and subsequently used for invasion by the parasite. Growth of the parasite was hindered in miRNA-loaded erythrocytes, followed by impaired invasion; micronemal secretion was also reduced, especially in the case of miR-197-5p. Apicortin expression was found to be reduced in miRNA-loaded erythrocytes. To interpret the effect of downregulation of apicortin on parasite invasion to host erythrocytes, we investigated the secretion of the invasion-related microneme protein apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1). AMA1 secretion was found to be reduced in miRNA-treated parasites. Overall, this study identifies apicortin as a novel target within the malaria parasite and establishes miR-197-5p as its miRNA inhibitor. This miRNA represents an unconventional nucleotide-based therapeutic and provides a new host factor-inspired strategy for the design of antimalarial molecular medicine.

NOTAS SOBRE A RELEITURA DE FEENBERG A RESPEITO DA TEORIA CRÍTICA DA TECNOLOGIA: UMA PROPOSTA DE DEMOCRATIZAÇÃO DO DESENVOLVIMENTO TECNOLÓGICO NA ESFERA DIGITAL COMO PREMISSA DE TRANSFORMAÇÕES DEMOCRÁTICAS
Authors: Weschenfelder Lucas Reckziegel , Friedrich Denise Bittencourt 
Published: June 2020

O estudo desta pesquisa compreende a tecnologia e as suas possibilidades democráticas, integrado a um debate sobre as teorias da democracia. A tecnologia, na modernidade, encontra-se posta como um instrumento com o qual o agente se comunica com o seu meio, e as teorias críticas clássicas que a abarcam partem de dois caminhos: onde a sua potencialidade é um meio de dominação, ou que a sua capacidade é neutra, baseada em uma racionalidade científica inerente. A democracia tem como propósito integrar os interesses de todos e, a partir disso, direcionar as tomadas de decisões. O fator é complexo, porém um composto é perene: a manifestação e a veiculação de um interesse é um pressuposto para que tal interesse faça parte do sistema político e jurídico da sociedade. Pretendeu-se responder ao problema expresso da seguinte forma: o desenvolvimento tecnológico se limita aos termos das correntes instrumentalista e substancialista da tecnologia, tendo em vista a pluralidade democrática contemporânea? Considerando as relações da sociedade industrial contemporânea, a tecnologia possui propulsores democráticos, uma vez pensando-a e integrando, em seu desenvolvimento, as particularidades de cada pessoa ou grupo de pessoas, como meio de potencializar o seu conteúdo e os seus efeitos na sociedade. A inclusão das pessoas com deficiência na esfera digital precisa ser arquitetada, pois encontra sérios impedimentos, análogos à esfera física. O método de abordagem empregado foi o hermenêutico, partindo de premissas que se consubstanciam no problema. O método de procedimento utilizado foi o monográfico, e a técnica de pesquisa, bibliográfica.

Published: June 2020

Background: Root canal disinfection is considered critical for achieving successful regenerative endodontic procedures. Photo-activated disinfection is a novel disinfection method that can help to achieve the goal of regenerative endodontics. This article reports the clinical and radiographic results after single visit regenerative endodontics using photo-activated disinfection. Methods: An 8.5-year-old girl complained of fractured upper right central incisor. Pulp necrosis was diagnosed on the basis of clinical findings. The root canal was irrigated with sodium hypochlorite solution (1.5%) followed by saline. Then, the canal was dried with paper points. A combination of a photosensitizer solution and low power laser light were applied. EDTA solution was used as a final irrigant. Bleeding was induced, followed by placement of collagen resorbable matrix and white mineral trioxide aggregate. Two days later, the tooth was sealed and restored with permanent filling. Results: Clinical findings revealed no pain on percussion or palpation tests. Radiographic examination revealed an increase in root length, an increase of apical root thickness and apical closure at the 12-month follow-up period. Conclusion: Regenerative endodontics using photo-activated disinfection achieved successful outcomes in the necrotic immature permanent tooth.

Published: June 2020

Background This study explored the lived childbirth experiences of ‘middle adolescent’ mothers between 14–16 years of age. Study design A qualitative design was followed with a Husserlian phenomenological approach and Colaizzi's seven steps to unravelling information. Using semi-structured conversations, information was gathered from six middle-adolescent mothers who had normal vaginal births of healthy term infants in two public hospitals in South Africa. Findings An overarching theme of preservation of personhood was identified. Three themes emerged i) unpreparedness for childbirth, ii) an unsettled state of mind during childbirth and iii) feeling overwhelmed by the experience. Conclusion More positive birth experiences were associated with respectful, non-judgmental midwife care and having their mothers as birth companions while humiliation, victimisation and rudeness were associated with negative birth experiences. Recommendations More focus is needed on adolescent-friendly healthcare services and age-appropriate education; continuous labour support; pain management and respectful care during childbirth.

Precise thickness profile measurement insensitive to spatial and temporal temperature gradients on a large glass substrate
Authors: Park Jungjae , Mori Hiroki , Jang Yoon-Soo , Jin Jonghan 
Published: June 2020

When manufacturing glass substrates for display devices, especially for large-sized ones, the time-varying spatial temperature gradient or distribution on the samples is remarkably observed. It causes serious degradation of thickness measurement accuracy due to the combination of thermally expanded thickness and temperature-dependent refractive index. To prevent or minimize the degradation in thickness measurement accuracy, the temperature distribution over an entire glass substrate has to be known in real time in synchronization with the thickness measurement to specify the refractive index of the sample based on an exact mathematical model of the temperature-dependent refractive index. In this paper, a measurement method for determining the thickness profile of a large glass substrate regardless of precise measurement of temperature distribution and the mathematical model of the refractive index was demonstrated. The widely used glass substrates with nominal thicknesses of 0.6 mm and 1.3 mm were measured at room and high temperatures. Through comparison of thickness profiles of hot glass substrates having large temperature gradients and those estimated through thermal expansion of thickness profiles measured at room temperature, it was confirmed that the proposed method can provide highly reliable thickness measurement results under such challenging conditions, unlike simple calculation from the optical thickness using the well-known refractive index.

Published: June 2020

Despite very efficient superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) reported recently, combining their other performance advantages such as high speed and ultralow timing jitter in a single device still remains challenging. In this work, we present a perfect absorber model and the corresponding detector design based on a micrometer-long NbN nanowire integrated with a 2D photonic crystal cavity of ultrasmall mode volume, which promises simultaneous achievement of near-unity absorption, gigahertz counting rates, and broadband optical response with a 3 dB bandwidth of 71 nm. Compared to previous stand-alone meandered and waveguide-integrated SNSPDs, this perfect absorber design addresses the trade space in size, efficiency, speed, and bandwidth for realizing large on-chip single-photon detector arrays.

Published: June 2020

Goal: Analyzing critical success factors (CSFs) for integrating sustainability and quality in a food and beverage company in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Design/methodology/approach: This research relies on an exploratory method, applied on qualitative data collection based on a case study. The instrument for data collection is an interview with professionals who work in the areas of quality and sustainability in the company studied.
Results: Out of the seven critical success factors identified in an organization, six of them (leadership and commitment to strategy, management and monitoring of processes, training and communication, commitment to the three pillars of sustainability, product/service development and continuous improvement) are a result of the company’s strategic circumstances, achieved by continuously improving products and processes. On the other hand, there is a critical focus factor for stakeholder relations, since it is currently very concentrated on the interests of final consumers to the detriment of other stakeholders.
Limits of the investigation: Results reflect the Brazilian headquarters of a multinational company of the food and beverage sector and, therefore, cannot necessarily be applied to other companies of the same sector.
Practical implications: Diagnosing seven critical success factors of the studied food and beverage company raises the opportunity to seek mechanisms to strengthen the focus on stakeholders, a critical factor identified as incipient in the research.
Originality/value: Findings confirm the relevance of looking into the critical success factors identified by the literature about integrating sustainability and quality in the practice of industries.

Published: June 2020

Marine ornamental trade has been developing for several years with Indonesia as one of the major exporter countries. Among the popular marine ornamental fish in the local and international markets belong to the family of Chaetodontidae. The existence of this family has been reported from several areas in Indonesia. However, no information is available in terms of their phylogenetic relationships of the fish from the south coast of West Java. The aim of this research was to asses the phylogenetic relationships among ornamental fish members of Chaetodontidae in the South Coast of West Java. Fish samples were collected from two trading sites Ujung Genteng and Taman Manalusu. Collected fish were identified using a previously published study. The evolutionary relationships among species were analyzed statistically through phylogenetic analysis based on maximum parsimony algorithm and Kimura 2- Parameter substitution model as implemented in PAUP 4.0 software. Tree branching pattern supported by 1000 bootstraps pseudo-replicates and out-group comparison. Daschyllus trimaculatus used as outgroup species. Based on the study, Chaetodontidae from the South Coast of West Java formed one monophyletic group compared to Dascylus trimaculatus with Chelmon rostratus was the basal species. All the remaining species were the derived species. There are CI and RI value gained. The consistency index (CI) value of this family is 0.5833, and the retention index (RI) is 0.5082.

Published: June 2020

Its crucial to get information about lead (Pb) heavy metal pollution from mining and oil palm plantation on species density in mangrove ecosystem, to anticipate its impacts. This study aimed is to compare the types and densities of vegetation in mangrove ecosystems allegedly due to mining in Setarap village, Tanah Bumbu Regency and oil palm plantations in Kuala Tambangan Village, Tanah Laut Regency. We also analysis the condition of waters (TDS, pH and DO) and organic content in sediments to acquire data from the South Kalimantan mangrove ecosystems. The results showed there were four species of true mangroves (Avicennia alba, Acanthus ebracteatus, Nypa fruticans and Rhizophora apiculate) could live well in the environment affected by mining or oil palm plantations. The species density for trees was low (933 ind/ha) for mangroves affected by coal mines, while those affected by oil palm plantations had higher densities (1,067 ind/ha). pH value of waters in affected area by coal mining showed more acidic value (pH 5.76) especially at the back, while those by palm oil plantations are more acidic (pH 6) in the estuary. Organic matter content in sediments affected by coal mines was in the range of 0.61-6.59%, while those affected by oil palm plantations showed higher values (0.12-2.19%). Lead heavy metal content (Pb) in waters affected by coal mines was 0.031-0.056 mg/L, while the area affected by oil palm plantations was of higher value (0.110-0.128 mg/L). Lead (Pb) levels in sediments indicate higher values than waters, which reach 3.512-6.046 mg/Kg (affected by coal mines), and in areas affected by oil palm plantations reaching 6.658-6.66 mg/Kg. The general conclusion is that vegetation densities in areas affected by coal mines are lower than oil palm plantations. The level of lead (Pb) pollution in the sediments is higher than in the waters.
