Published: August 2020

The hydrocarbon exploration of oceanic depositional systems demands a better understanding of the role of bottom currents and their implications for petroleum systems such as reservoir and sealing rocks. Deep-marine bottom-current reworked sands (sandy contourites) have been recognized in hydrocarbon-bearing sands of the Kwanza Basin. Such understanding implies additional alternatives for the definition of exploration targets and prospect risk reduction. The southernmost part of the Kwanza Basin (Miradouro da Lua zone) comprises one of the best outcrops of contourites deposits, formed during the Miocene and Pliocene age. Laterally, coeval sandy deposits are found offshore Kwanza Basin along the continental margin, and have been one of the great challenges for the oil companies operating in Angola. Therefore, the aim of the current proposal is to characterize sandy contourite deposits at Miradouro da Lua and compare them with offshore deep-water sandy deposits, evaluating their conceptual and economic implication. Modern field sedimentology technique merged with reflection seismic data and other geographic information system (GIS) techniques, allow the characterization and proposal of a stratigraphic architecture diagram that explains the interaction of the deep-marine processes, especially gravitational (down-slope) and bottom current (along-slope) processes as well as its vertical and spatial association. Sonangol (Angolan State Oil Company) and Total (French Multinational Company) explore similar deposits in Block 48 in Ultra deep-sea, and they will also reactivate the exploration of the Iabe Formation in Block 4. The Tertiary Stratigraphic Architecture in Blocks 6, 7, 8, 19 and 20 are similar to the Lower part of the Miradouro da Lua zone. All these observations and data are very important to calibrate oil reservoir models.

Abstract. The invasion of aquifer microbial communities by aboveground
microorganisms, a phenomenon known as community coalescence, is likely to be
exacerbated in groundwaters fed by stormwater infiltration systems (SISs).
Here, the incidence of this increased connectivity with upslope soils and
impermeabilized surfaces was assessed through a meta-analysis of 16S rRNA
gene libraries. Specifically, DNA sequences encoding 16S rRNA V5-V6 regions from free-living
and attached aquifer bacteria (i.e., water and biofilm samples) were
analysed upstream and downstream of a SIS and compared with those from
bacterial communities from watershed runoffs and surface sediments from the
SIS detention and infiltration basins. Significant bacterial transfers were
inferred by the SourceTracker Bayesian approach, with 23 % to 57 % of the
aquifer bacterial biofilms being composed of taxa from aboveground sediments
and urban runoffs. Sediments from the detention basin were found more
significant contributors of taxa involved in the buildup of these biofilms
than soils from the infiltration basin. Inferred taxa among the coalesced
biofilm community were predicted to be high in hydrocarbon degraders such as
Sphingobium and Nocardia. The 16S rRNA-based bacterial community structure of the downstream-SIS
aquifer waters showed lower coalescence with aboveground taxa (8 % to 38 %)
than those of biofilms and higher numbers of taxa predicted to be involved
in the N and S cycles. A DNA marker named tpm enabled the tracking of
bacterial species from 24 genera including Pseudomonas, Aeromonas and Xanthomonas, among these
communities. Several tpm sequence types were found to be shared between the
aboveground and aquifer samples. Reads related to Pseudomonas were allocated to 50
species, of which 16 were found in the aquifer samples. Several of these
aquifer species were found to be involved in denitrification but also
hydrocarbon degradation (P. aeruginosa, P. putida and P. fluorescens). Some tpm sequence types allocated to P. umsongensis and P. chengduensis were
found to be enriched among the tpm-harbouring bacteria, respectively, of the
aquifer biofilms and waters. Reads related to Aeromonas were allocated to 11
species, but only those from A. caviae were recovered aboveground and in the aquifer
samples. Some tpm sequence types of the X. axonopodis phytopathogen  were recorded in higher
proportions among the tpm-harbouring bacteria of the aquifer waters than in the
aboveground samples. A significant coalescence of microbial communities from
an urban watershed with those of an aquifer was thus observed, and recent
aquifer biofilms were found to be significantly colonized by runoff-opportunistic taxa able to use urban C sources from aboveground
compartments.
Clinical Course of a Covid-19 Patient with Gastrointestinal Symptoms- A Case Report
Authors: Sidra Agarwal  , Hemanshi Mistry  
Published: August 2020

Background: COVID-19 most commonly presents with respiratory symptoms. However, it can involve the gastrointestinal tract causing symptoms like diarrhea and the resultant shedding of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in feces. This is due to the virus adhering to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors largely present in the gastrointestinal tract. This case report recommends routine stool Real-Time Reverse Polymerase Chain Reaction (rRT-PCR) testing for patients presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms.
The Case: A healthy 36-year-old male healthcare worker in New York who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection through rRT-PCR of the nasopharyngeal swab. After 7 days of convalescence, he recovered from influenza like symptoms after which he predominantly developed diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and extreme fatigue. Cough was the only lower respiratory symptom during the 3rd week of the clinical course. Anosmia or ageusia preceding the onset of respiratory symptoms was also reported. Due to the outbreak of the pandemic and New York being the epicenter at the time, the patient was recommended to self-isolate with supportive management through antipyretics and electrolyte replacement.
Conclusion: This case highlights a SARS-CoV-2 PCR positive patient with predominant gastrointestinal symptoms. The reports regarding virus shedding in feces suggest that SARS-CoV-2 could be transmitted via fecal-oral route and thus routine stool rRT-PCR testing can aid in transmission-based precautions. Furthermore, reports of viral ribonucleic acid present in the stool, suggests direct infectivity of the virus on the intestinal tract. Therefore, screening in patients with only gastrointestinal symptoms can potentially help to contain the virus spread.
A LUTA POR SORORIDADE
Authors: Wolff Tayná Campos 
Published: August 2020

O artigo faz reflexões acerca de estímulos patriarcais à competição entre mulheres e o esforço feminista para combater essa competitividade com seu oposto – a mútua e profunda união feminina, o que chamamos de sororidade. Além disso, são analisados aspectos da chamada “masculinidade tóxica” e de premissas que visam a subalternização da mulher. Uma ação no âmbito das Artes da Cena, promovida pelo grupo de palhaçaria feminina do Distrito Federal Cabaré das Rachas, teve uma clara prerrogativa de engrandecer a união entre mulheres artistas da cena e de contestar a cultura machista satirizando-a e ironizando padrões que precisam ser destruídos. Pensar a arte como instrumento de militância e meio para abordar pautas relevantes como a opressão de gênero é o que impulsiona o texto.

O avanço tecnológico, especialmente da tecnologia de informação e comunicação, gera novas possibilidades, as quais representam desafios para o Direito. No caso dos direitos autorais sobre as obras resultantes da inteligência artificial, há indagações sobre a quem atribuir a autoria e consequentemente os direitos sobre a mesma, uma vez que as obras protegidas pelo direito autoral são criações humanas.
Nesse desiderato a presente pesquisa objetiva analisar, por meio do método de pesquisa dedutivo, quem seria o autor em obras produzidas por sistemas de inteligência artificial. Mesmo sem chegar a conclusões definitivas, deve-se referendar a importância de garantir a proteção jurídica às criações produto da inteligência artificial, mesmo que de forma diversa à prevista aos direitos autorais, tradicionalmente concebida. Poder-se-ia pensar em uma forma sui generis que garanta o direito patrimonial sobre a obra, de modo a incentivar a continuidade dos avanços tecnológicos na área.

Published: August 2020

Abstract

Background:
Positive psychology (PP) uses targeted activities to increase the frequency and intensity of positive feelings and may improve overall well-being in medically ill populations. In this phase 1 randomized controlled trial, we examined the feasibility, acceptability, and potential impact of a 5-week, telephone-delivered PP intervention for individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Methods:
Participants were randomized 1:1 to a 5-week at-home PP intervention or a waitlist control condition. Participants engaged in weekly telephone calls with a study trainer and completed one PP exercise, such as recalling a past success, each week. Feasibility was determined by the number of sessions completed, and acceptability was assessed by weekly postexercise participant ratings of ease and utility. Efficacy was explored by examining between-group differences in changes from baseline on psychological variables, health-related quality of life, and self-reported functional activities at 5 and 10 weeks.

Results:
Of 30 patients enrolled in the study, 28 (93%) completed all exercises. Ease scores ranged from 7.7 to 8.7 of 10 and utility scores ranged from 8.2 to 8.7 of 10. The PP intervention was associated with significantly greater increases (P &lt; .05) in positive affect, optimism, state and trait anxiety, general health, and resilience in the intervention group versus the control group. Approximately half of the PP participants maintained at least 50% of the improvement at 10 weeks.

Conclusions:
This 5-week, telephone-based PP intervention was feasible and acceptable to individuals with MS. Larger randomized controlled trials are warranted to further investigate the utility of this intervention to improve well-being and other health outcomes in MS.

Published: August 2020

Salah satu kunci dari efektivitas kepemimpinan adalah bagaimana seorang pemimpin diterima dan didukung oleh bawahannya (leader endorsement). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi dukungan bawahan terhadap pemimpin berdasarkan teori identitas sosial. Artikel ini memiliki hipotesis bahwa prototipikalitas pemimpin (leader prototypicality) dan personal bases of power dari pemimpin (expert power dan referent power) memengaruhi dukungan bawahan terhadap pemimpinnya. Menggunakan online surveys kami berhasil mendapatkan partisipan sebanyak 135 karyawan dari berbagai perusahaan swasta di Indonesia. Reliabilitas masing-masing alat ukur yang digunakan berkisar antara 0,80 – 0,90. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa: (1) leader prototypicality tidak signifikan memengaruhi leader endorsement (β = .124; p < .05); (2) leaders’ expert power (β = .767; p < .01) dan leaders’ referent power (β = .363; p < .01) signifikan memengaruhi leader endorsement. Faktor tersebut mampu memprediksi varian leader endorsement sebesar 78,3%, F(3.94) = 56.706, p < .01. Temuan penelitian ini dapat memberikan kontribusi terhadap perkembangan teori identitas sosial bahwa pada konteks perusahaan swasta, identitas sosial pemimpin bukan menjadi faktor yang menentukan terbentuknya dukungan terhadap pemimpin.
The Metaphysics of Meaning
Authors: Katz Jerrold J. 
Published: August 2020

Jerrold J. Katz offers a radical reappraisal of the "linguistic turn" in twentieth-century philosophy. He shows that the naturalism that emerged to become the dominant philosophical position was never adequately proved. Katz critiques the major arguments for contemporary naturalism and develops a new conception of the naturalistic fallacy. This conception, inspired by Moore, explains why attempts to naturalize linguistics and logic, and perhaps ethics, will fail. He offers a Platonist view of such disciplines, justifying it as the best explanation of their autonomy, their objectivity, and their normativity.

Published: August 2020

Chaetomium species are saprophytic fungi, havethe ability to degrade cellulose with hydrolytic enzymes. Hydrolytic enzymes are a cluster of enzymes, which have the flexibility of breaking down complicated molecules into smaller molecules. The objective of this study was to clarify the genetic diversity among the isolated Chaetomium population by using PCR-based methods, along with the study of their cellulolytic activities. Chaetomium spp. were isolated from twenty-eight samples of Cuminum cyminum and Pimpinella anisum, and identified morphologically and molecularly by ITS1 and ITS4 primers. The sequencing indicated that all the isolates of Chaetomium had a 99% sequence identity with Chaetomium globosum sequences from GenBank. Molecular techniques with Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region sequencing and specific genes random primers polymerase chain reaction (SGRP-PCR) showed the existence of high DNA polymorphism of Chaetomium globosum. All isolates were tested for their ability of cellulases production. Nine of the thirteen isolates of Chaetomium globosumcould produce cellulases. There are variations between C. globosum isolates and the source of the isolates and their habitat do not correlate to their ability to secrete cellulases.

The present study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of pyrolytic oil obtained from Triplochion scleroxylon sawdust which used as a preservative against fungi attack on Alstonia bonnei, Ceiba pentandra, Pterocarpus osun, Terminalia randii, Triplochiton scleroxylon wood. The wood samples used for the experiment were dimensioned into 20 x 20 x 60 mm and soaked for 72 hours to obtain appreciable absorption. The percentage absorption after soaking and weight loss after exposure to termite were determined. Data were analyzed using simple statistics and analysis of variance at α0.05. The highest and lowest percentage absorption was recorded for Terminalia randii and Alstonia bonnie with 23.20 % and 13.10 % respectively. Analysis of variance result indicates the significant difference in wood species used. The result obtained for weight loss revealed significant differences in wood species as well as in fungi also. The result further showed that those are taken as control recorded the highest weight loss to white and brown rot fungi. Pyrolytic oil possesses a great potential in the prevention of fungi attack as it contained phenolic compound.
Performance Enhancement of Induced Draft Counter Flow Wet Cooling Tower with Different Types of Modified Shaped Fill Assembly

Published: August 2020

This paper presents an experimental analysis of heat transfer using different shaped fills in a counter flow induced draft cooling tower. The main objective is to determine and compare the characteristics of the cooling tower using newly shaped (splash and film) fills and the regular used fills. The newly shaped fills are inverted U-shape cross-sectional splash fill and film fill with ripple plates. The obtained results show that the performance is affected by the type and arrangement of the fills. The modified splash fill has increased the wetted surface area of fill within the same volume compared to regular fills. The film fill with ripple plates has been used such that water from the distribution device ran down on both surfaces of each ripple plate. By the arrangement of ripple plates, cooling loss by premature dropping off of water has been avoided. Performance factors like range, approach, effectiveness, cooling capacity, evaporation loss, percent loss are calculated from collected data for newly shaped fills, and regular shaped fills. It is observed that range, effectiveness, and cooling capacity increases with both newly shaped fills. When ripple plated film fill is used; range, effectiveness, and cooling capacity is found highest among the different shape of fills used in this study. At the same time evaporation loss and percent loss are found lowest for inverted-U shaped splash fill.
