Boehmite Nanofiber–Polymethylsilsesquioxane Composite Aerogels: Synthesis, Analysis, and Thermal Conductivity Control via Compression Processing
Authors: Hayase Gen 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Boehmite nanomaterials have been researched for use in applications such as separation media, fillers for resins, and catalyst support. This study investigates the relationship between structural density and mechanical and thermal performance of boehmite nanofiber-polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) composite aerogels. Tri-functional organosilicon alkoxide methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) was added to a boehmite nanofiber aqueous dispersion; the colloidal nanofibers were coated and bonded with polymethylsilsesquioxane, to produce transparent to translucent wet gel monoliths. Low bulk density aerogel panels were prepared by CO2 supercritical drying of the wet gel monoliths before their mechanical properties and thermal conductivity were investigated. As the amount of the MTMS in the starting composition increased, the fibrillar monolith skeleton coated with PMSQ thickened. Correspondingly, the Young's modulus of the monoliths increased, and the thermal conductivity decreased. When the amount of MTMS added was small, it was possible to deform the translucent panels by uniaxial compression. After 30% uniaxial compression of the panel, the thermal conductivity was suppressed by 19%. The thermal conductivity response to compressive deformation of fibrous aerogels, after fabrication, may inform future insulation material development.

Background: This study aimed to discover the association between parameters of event-related potentials (ERPs) and categorization of images of visual scenes, both emotionally-charged and neutral, in carriers of different genotypes of the COMT, HTR2A, BDNF genes. Methods: Electroencephalogram (EEG) and ERPs were recorded at 128 leads, with two ear referents. Images of different visual scenes were presented to the study participants sequentially on a monitor screen. The participants’ task was to examine these images and indicate what emotions (negative, neutral or positive) they elicit. Comparison of event-related potentials was carried out using unpaired Student t-test in EEGLAB toolbox. Results: COMT. A stronger reaction, as reflected in the amplitude of the ERPs, in participants with the recessive homozygous Met/Met genotype was observed on latency around 200 ms to the stimuli, assessed as positive. Carriers of dominant homozygous Val/Val genotype had higher amplitude of 200 ms peak when assessed scene images as either neutral or negative in comparison to other genotypes. Participant with the Val/Met heterozygous genotype had higher amplitude of ERP that Met/Met group on same latency when assessed stimuli as negative. HTR2A. Significant increase in negativity in the parietal-occipital regions revealed in the range of 350-420 ms in participants with the recessive homozygous A/A genotype when choosing any type of assessment, compared to carriers of the heterozygous genotype A/G and the dominant homozygous G/G genotype. BDNF. Participants with Val/Val genotype categorized the visual images more thoroughly, as reflected in greater activation of the parietal-occipital zones and higher amplitude on ERP peak on 190 ms (negative assessment) and 160 ms (neutral assessment) then Val/Met carriers. Conclusions: The COMT, HTR2A, BDNF gene different genotypes are associated with the process of categorizing emotionally charged and neutral visual scenes, and this relationship is reflected in the ERP parameters.
Independent accretion of TIM22 complex subunits in the animal and fungal lineages
Authors: Muñoz-Gómez Sergio A. , Snyder Shannon N. , Montoya Samantha J. , Wideman Jeremy G. 
Published: August 2020

Background: The mitochondrial protein import complexes arose early in eukaryogenesis. Most of the components of the protein import pathways predate the last eukaryotic common ancestor. For example, the carrier-insertase TIM22 complex comprises the widely conserved Tim22 channel core. However, the auxiliary components of fungal and animal TIM22 complexes are exceptions to this ancient conservation. Methods: Using comparative genomics and phylogenetic approaches, we identified precisely when each TIM22 accretion occurred. Results: In animals, we demonstrate that Tim29 and Tim10b arose early in the holozoan lineage. Tim29 predates the metazoan lineage being present in the animal sister lineages, choanoflagellate and filastereans, whereas the erroneously named Tim10b arose from a duplication of Tim9 at the base of metazoans. In fungi, we show that Tim54 has representatives present in every holomycotan lineage including microsporidians and fonticulids, whereas Tim18 and Tim12 appeared much later in fungal evolution. Specifically, Tim18 and Tim12 arose from duplications of Sdh3 and Tim10, respectively, early in the Saccharomycotina. Surprisingly, we show that Tim54 is distantly related to AGK suggesting that AGK and Tim54 are extremely divergent orthologues and the origin of AGK/Tim54 interaction with Tim22 predates the divergence of animals and fungi. Conclusions: We argue that the evolutionary history of the TIM22 complex is best understood as the neutral structural divergence of an otherwise strongly functionally conserved protein complex. This view suggests that many of the differences in structure/subunit composition of multi-protein complexes are non-adaptive. Instead, most of the phylogenetic variation of functionally conserved molecular machines, which have been under stable selective pressures for vast phylogenetic spans, such as the TIM22 complex, is most likely the outcome of the interplay of random genetic drift and mutation pressure.
CONTRACINEMA: MULHER E TERRITORIO NOS FILMES YVONNE KANE (2015), DE MARGARIDA CARDOSO E PRAÇA PARIS (2017), DE LUCIA MURAT
Authors: Sales Michelle , Pereira Ana Cristina 
Published: August 2020

Ao discorrer sobre o "cinema de mulheres" como um contracinema, propomos uma análise dos filmes Yvone Kane (2015), de Margarida Cardoso e Praça Paris (2017), de Lúcia Murat, duas coproduções Brasil-Portugal (no caso de Yvone Kane também com Moçambique) que põem em perspectiva o olhar da mulher branca sobre a “outra”, no caso, a mulher negra. Percebemos em ambos os filmes, uma relação construída entre a subjetividade feminina das personagens em relação com a paisagem/território (seja em África ou no Brasil) que parece sublinhar, como apontamos em algumas cenas aqui apresentadas, uma tensão racial entre a mulher branca e a mulher negra. Propomos um olhar analítico construído a partir da teoria e crítica feminista de cinema e do feminismo interseccional para analisar e discorrer acerca de ambos os filmes.

Method for measuring the extinction ratios of optical pulse trains using optical gating
Authors: Arahira Shin , Murai Hitoshi , Sasaki Hironori 
Published: August 2020

In this paper, we propose a method for measuring the extinction ratio (ER) of an optical pulse train with a very high ER. The proposed method can be implemented using a simple optical circuit consisting of an optical gate circuit and conventional optical powermeter. The ER is derived from a series of measurements of averaged gate output powers under several specific gate conditions. The proposed method was experimentally validated on an optical pulse train generated by cascaded

Published: August 2020

Neste estudo, investigamos o comportamento do motorista em uma rodovia considerando a percepção sobre a qualidade de serviço em função das condições de tráfego, usando um simulador de direção e um sistema de rastreamento ocular. O simulador de direção permite criar ambientes de direção diferentes, muito semelhantes aos cenários de direção da vida real. Desenvolvemos três cenários diferentes, com densidades de tráfego baseadas em diferentes níveis de serviço, e também preparamos um questionário para avaliar a percepção do usuário. Os dados do questionário, do simulador de direção e do sistema de rastreamento ocular de vinte participantes foram incluídos em nosso banco de dados. Realizamos análise estatística usando testes não paramétricos (testes de Kruskal-Wallis e Tukey) e medimos os coeficientes de correlação de Pearson entre as variáveis. Nessa abordagem preliminar, os motoristas conseguiram diferenciar os cenários e determinar as pontuações para cada nível de serviço apresentado. Esses resultados sugerem que os simuladores de direção têm um potencial considerável para a avaliação da percepção da qualidade de serviço (QoS).

Moral utama dalam UU kepolisian adalah Moral Pancasila, maka diperlukan pendekatan filosofis untuk memahami nilai-nilai tersebut. Tujuan dari artikel ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi nilai-nilai Pancasila. Hasil pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa Nilai-nilai Pancasila dalam pengaturan tugas dan fungsi Polri sebagai penegak hukum, adalah mencakup Sila Ketuhanan yang maha Esa yang memaknai bangsa Indonesia sebagai mahluk ciptaan Tuhan, mengakui manusia harus diperlakukan sama di hadapan Tuhan. Nilai persamaan diturunkan bahwa Polri harus memperlakukan setiap orang sama dihadapan hukum (equality before the law), hukum harus menjadi alat tertinggi dalam mencapai keadilan (Supremasi of law). Konsep “beradab” mensyaratkan Polri harus menghargai Hak Asasi Manusia. Polri dan masyarakat merupakan satu kesatuan sebagai warga bangsa mengandung nilai kemanfaatan manusia satu dengan yang lainnya sebagai sebuah persatuan masyarakat yang bermartabat, yang mempunyai nilai kebangsaan dan nilai kemanusiaan
Independensi Lembaga Kejaksaan sebagai Legal Structure didalam Sistem Peradilan Pidana (Criminal Justice System) di Indonesia
Authors: Mufrohim Ook , Herawati Ratna 
Published: August 2020

Lembaga Kejaksaan menurut fungsinya berada pada posisi yang sentral dan sangat strategis di dalam proses penegakan hukum secara independen. Lembaga kejaksaan sangat riskan untuk mendapatkan intervensi dari pihak pemerintah ataupun pihak lain sehingga tuntutan hukum menjadi tidak berdasarkan atas peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku dan tidak makmsimal. Tulisan ini membahas independensi kejaksaan sebagai bagian sistem peradilan pidana berdasarkan telaah legal structure. Penelitian ini menggunakan Metode Kualitatif dengan Pendekatan Yuridis Normatif. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kejaksaan merupakan bagian dari struktur hukum yang menjalankan substansi hukum, memiliki tugas dan kewenangan untuk melakukan penuntutan dan kewenangan lain yang ditentukan menurut undang-undang. Jaksa Agung juga memiliki kewengan diponering, namun pelaksanaan diponering seringkali mendapatkan intervensi dari penguasa. Intervensi bisa berimplikasi pada hasil penuntutan lembaga kejaksaan sebagai bagian system peradilan pidana kurang berkeadilan dan berkemanusiaan, serta kurang terciptanya tertib hukum dan tegaknya supremasi hukum.
The Political Economy of Private Law

Abstract
Katharina Pistor’s book The code of capital – how the law creates wealth and inequality (Pistor, K. (2019). The code of capital – How the law creates wealth and inequality. Princeton: Princeton University Press) is an original and insightful intervention in the quest to understand both the rising inequality of the last 40 years, as well as the inner dynamics of capitalism, a social formation that has ruled in western societies for about 200 years now. Pistor shares many of the convictions of the publications in the journal Accounting, Economics and Law, such as the dangers to democracy inherent in the corporate form (Robé, J. P. (2011). The legal structure of the firm. Accounting, Economics and Law, 1(1). https://doi.org/10.2202/2152-2820.1001; Strasser, K., & Blumberg, P. (2011). Legal form and economic substance of enterprise groups: Implications for legal policy. Accounting, Economics and Law, 1(1). https://doi.org/10.2202/2152-2820.1000), the fact that firms and corporate form need to be distinguished (Y. Biondi, A. Canziani, & T. Kirat (Eds), (2007). The firm as an entity: Implications for economics, accounting and law. New York and London: Routledge) and that shareholders do not own corporations, but just their shares, it is only appropriate to discuss and present it to the wider audience of the journal, pointing to its fundamental insights and potential for follow-up research. The title of the book and its set-up evoke both Luhmann’s system theory with its penchant for binary code as well as Marx’s capital (Marx, K. (1955[1867]). Das Kapital. Berlin: Dietz Verlag, Vol. 1). Combining the coding of social systems and their relentless dynamic in innovating and generating new forms by recursively referring to established elements (Luhmann, N. (1984). Soziale Systeme. Frankfurt am Main: Suhrkamp Verlag; Luhmann, N. (1995). Das Recht der Gesellschaft. Frankfurt am Main: Suhrkamp Verlag) with Marx’s focus on the structuring effects capital has on society is making this a very inspiring book, which at the same time evokes many follow-up questions.
An Intrinsic Characterization of Five Points in a CAT(0) Space
Authors: Toyoda Tetsu 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Gromov (2001) and Sturm (2003) proved that any four points in a CAT(0) space satisfy a certain family of inequalities. We call those inequalities the ⊠-inequalities, following the notation used by Gromov. In this paper, we prove that a metric space X containing at most five points admits an isometric embedding into a CAT(0) space if and only if any four points in X satisfy the ⊠-inequalities. To prove this, we introduce a new family of necessary conditions for a metric space to admit an isometric embedding into a CAT(0) space by modifying and generalizing Gromov’s cycle conditions. Furthermore, we prove that if a metric space satisfies all those necessary conditions, then it admits an isometric embedding into a CAT(0) space. This work presents a new approach to characterizing those metric spaces that admit an isometric embedding into a CAT(0) space.
The Analogies of Justice and Health inRepublic IV

Published: August 2020

AbstractThis paper provides a new interpretation of Plato’s account of justice as psychic health in Republic IV. It argues that what has traditionally been considered to be one single analogy is actually a more complex line of reasoning that contains various medical analogies. These medical analogies are not only different in number but also in kind. I discuss each of them separately, while providing a response to various objections.
Well-posedness of problem with parameter for an integro-differential equation
Authors: Assanova Anar T. , Bakirova Elmira A. , Vassilina Gulmira K. 
Published: August 2020

AbstractA problem with parameter for an
integro-differential equation is approximated by a
problem with parameter for a loaded differential equation.
The well-posedness of a problem with parameter for the
integro-differential equation is established in the terms of the well-posedness of a problem with parameter for the loaded differential equation. A mutual relationship between the qualitative properties of original
and approximate problems is obtained, and the estimates for
differences between their solutions are set.
A new general solution to the
loaded differential equation with parameter is presented, and its properties are described. The problem with parameter for the loaded differential equation
is reduced to a system of linear algebraic equations
with respect to the arbitrary vectors of a general solution
introduced. The system’s coefficients and right-hand sides are computed
by solving the Cauchy problems for ordinary differential
equations.
Verbal Serialization in Biblical Aramaic
Authors: Andrason Alexander , Koo Bonsam 
Published: August 2020

AbstractThe present paper discusses the issue of Serial Verb Constructions (SVCs) in Biblical Aramaic within the dynamic grammaticalization-based model of verbal serialization – a recent modification of a prototype-driven approach to SVCs used in linguistic typology. Having analyzed the entire corpus of Biblical Aramaic, the authors conclude the following: (a) verbal serialization constitutes an integral part of the verbal system of Biblical Aramaic; (b) pre-canonical SVCs are more common that canonical SVCs, and no cases of post-canonicity are attested; (c) Biblical Aramaic is a semi-advanced serializing language. Overall, the research corroborates the tendency of Semitic languages to gradually increase their serializing profile; a tendency that is often – albeit not without exception – correlated with the languages’ relative chronology.
Non-lactate strong ion difference and cardiovascular, cancer and all-cause mortality
Authors: Verma Ashish , Qayyum Rehan 
Published: August 2020

AbstractObjectivesNon-lactate strong ion difference (SID) has been shown to be associated with predictors of mortality in intensive care unit. However, the existence of any association between non-lactate SID (nlSID) and all cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality has not been explored before in community dwelling US adults.MethodsIn a nationally representative cross-sectional survey of the US non-institutionalized population, all adult participants (≥20 years of age) using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data (1999–2010) combined with National Death Index for mortality status through December 2011. Cox proportional hazard models were built to estimate the hazard ratios for cardiovascular, cancer, and all-cause mortality for each unit increase in non-lactate SID. The models were adjusted for demographic and confounder variablesResultsIn the study population the mean (SD) age was 49.6 (18.4) years. Of the study population, 31,475 (91.5%) were alive and 2,893 (8.4%) died during the mean (SD) follow-up period of 5.5 (3.5) years. In univariate regression model using nlSID as continuous variable, we found 2% (unadjusted hazard ratio, HR=1.02; 95% CI, 1.004–1.05) increase in all-cause but not in cardiovascular and cancer mortality (HR=1.03; 95% CI, 0.99–1.08, HR=1.01; 95% CI, 0.97–1.06). After adjusting for potential confounders, we found 7% (adjusted HR=1.07; 95% CI, 1.04–1.10), 5% (HR=1.05; 95% CI, 1.00–1.11) and 7% (HR=1.07; 95% CI, 1.02–1.12) increase in all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality.ConclusionsA high nlSID is associated with an increase in cardiovascular, cancer and all-cause mortality and may be a prognostic indicator of mortality in general adult population. These findings may provide a point of reference for further studies.

Published: August 2020

Abstract
The work introduces a numerical external damage prediction method for buried pipelines. The external pitting initiation and corrosion rate of oil or gas pipelines are affected by pipeline age, physicochemical properties of soils and cathodic protection performance as well as coating conditions. Before developing the damage prediction model, the influencing factors were weighed by grey relational analysis, and then the relationship among the pitting depth and the influencing factors of external corrosion was established for corrosion damage prediction through artificial neural network (ANN). Subsequently, the established ANN was applied to predict corrosion damage and corrosion rate for some selected cases, and the neural network prediction model was analyzed and compared to another corrosion rate prediction models. Through the analysis and comparison, a few opinions were proposed on the external corrosion damage prediction and pipeline integrity management.
Artefacts as Signs, Signs as Artefacts
Authors: Borrelli Giorgio 
Published: August 2020

AbstractThe category of “artefact” has been analyzed by different semiotic theories and methods. Starting from the Marxian theory of the dialectical relation betweenproductionanduse(orconsumption), Ferruccio Rossi-Landi (1921–1985) maintained the possibility of considering every “artefact” – oruse-value– as a crossroads betweenmaterialandlinguisticproduction, i.e., as a crossroads between labor and language. This paper proposes a comparison – and a dialogue – between Rossi-Landi’s materialistic sign-theory and other semiotic approaches. From such a perspective, the concept of “artefact” could be considered as an analytical starting point for the study of further social and economic meaning-making processes.
