Fé cristã e Direitos Humanos: caminhos que convergem e nos conduzem ao encontro com o Criador e ao Bem-Viver | Christian faith and Human Rights: paths that converge and lead to the encounter with the Creator and to Good Living
Authors: Santiago João Ferreira 
Published: December 2021

Este artigo trata da relação próxima e recíproca entre religião e direitos humanos a partir da autocompreensão cristã enquanto ponte que liga e religa o ser humano a si mesmo; os seres humanos entre si; e toda a humanidade ao seu criador. Desse modo, opta-se por uma contribuição teológica para a reflexão acerca dos direitos humanos fundamentais que possam auxiliar a pessoa de fé a reconhecer nessa agenda pública algo que lhe é particular. A saber, em linguagem confessional, reconhecer direitos humanos como vontade de Deus. Com um ponto de partida antropológico, busca-se uma fidelidade à tradição profética judaico-cristã. Desse modo, o presente texto assume a virada hermenêutica da teologia ocorrida no século XX diante de novas demandas humanas e, consequentemente, de novos modos de ler e atualizar a sabedoria da fé no horizonte de uma sociedade do Bem-Viver. This article deals with the close and reciprocal relation between religion and human rights from the Christian self-comprehension while a bridge that connects and reconnects the human being to itself; the human beings with each other; and all mankind with its creator. Therefore, it opts for a theological contribution to a reflection about the fundamental human rights that can help people with faith to recognize in this public agenda. Namely, in confessional language, the work recognizes human rights as the will of God. With an anthropological starting point, it aims to be faithful to the Judeo-Christian prophetic tradition. In this way, the present text assumes the hermeneutical turn of theology that took place in the twentieth century in the face of new human demands and, consequently, of new ways of reading and updating the wisdom of faith in the horizon of a society of Good Living.

Authors: Modzelewska Aleksandra , Imbir Kamil K. 
Published: December 2021

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic is a type of stressful event which might have an impact on psychological state. A prolonged threat of getting a serious, contagious illness is expected to be associated with an increase of negative emotions and, conversely, with a decrease of positive emotions. As the stressor is strongly linked to health and the body, we decided to investigate what types of factors related to body perception and appraisal are associated with different types of reported emotions. The purpose of the study was to verify the associations between three types of variables: interoceptive awareness as described by Mehling and colleagues (2012a, 2018), negative beliefs about health and body, and different types of emotions.

Methodology
A Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness questionnaire was applied to evaluate interoceptive awareness. The declared emotional state was diagnosed with a list of 20 emotions–divided by valence and origin. Additionally, a list of 10 negative beliefs about health and body was used. The study was held in a correlational schema with 299 subjects recruited via the social media platform Facebook who took part in an online survey.

Results
The study revealed that the scales of Self-Regulation and Trusting are primarily associated with negative automatic and reflective emotions and positive automatic emotions. Furthermore, the Self-Regulation, Trusting dimensions of interoceptive awareness predict an intensity of emotions categorised on the basis of valence and origin. In addition, negative beliefs about health and the body provided an adequate explanation of the variance of most of the types of emotions experienced during the pandemic.

Conclusions
Factors related to body perception, such as interoceptive awareness and negative beliefs about health and body provide a significant contribution to explaining emotional state at the beginning of the pandemic.

Published: December 2021

The juvenile Ctenopharyngodon idellus (19.68±0.17 g) were exposed to the solutions of zinc sulfate heptahydrate (ZnSO4.7H2O), to observe the toxic effects of waterborne Zn on this fish. The results showed that the median lethal concentration (LC50) over 96 h of waterborne Zn2+ was 5.00 mg/L. After 8 weeks of chronic exposure, the final weight and the specific weight growth rate of C. idellus decreased with the increasing Zn2+ concentration, and the differences were significant among the three groups (P < 0.05). The content of ash in the high exposure group was significantly higher than those in the other two groups (P < 0.05). The dry mass in the two exposure groups and the energy density in the low concentration group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The contents of Zn in the hepatopancreas, gill, intestine, muscle, and whole body in the high concentration group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The contents of Zn in hepatopancreas were significantly higher than those in other organs (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference for the contents of Zn in the intestine and gill in the two Zn exposure groups, but those were significantly higher than those in other organs except hepatopancreas (P < 0.05). The content of Zn in muscle was significantly lower than that in the other organs. It suggests that the pattern of energy allocation of the C. idellus is changed by the Zn exposure. Fat was preferentially used to provide extra energy for the detoxification under the Zn exposure, and the rates of the protein and energy deposited in the body were reduced. Therefore, the growth of the fish was depressed. The C. idellus mainly takes up Zn through the gill and distributes Zn to other tissues via blood circulation.
Determination of the Hydrodynamic Parameters of Two Types of Soil in the Senegal River Delta. Simulation of Hydro-saline Transfers: Application to the Wind Deflation Phenomenon
Authors: Diome Fary , Biaye Landing 
Published: December 2021

In the Senegal River delta, the presence of a shallow salt water table associated with a strong evaporative demand sometimes leads to an upwelling of salts that crystallize on the surface. This phenomenon can be observed in the vicinity of the Diawling Basin, where a powdery structure sensitive to wind deflation and a massive structure with a fractionation into platelets that cannot be transported by the wind are noted.
To understand the hydrodynamic characteristics of these soils, we used numerical simulation of water and solute transfers. The hydrodynamic parameters were determined in the laboratory using Wind's method on undisturbed samples. The experimental retention h() and hydraulic conductivity K(h) curves were fitted using the Van Genuchten model. The simulations show that the soil with a powdery structure has hydrodynamic characteristics that favour the ascent of salts from the water table to the surface. For the soil with a massive structure, the hydrodynamic conditions impose a deposition of salts in the subsurface.

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the salivary miRNA31 expression in controls and cases and associate miRNA31 levels with clinical parameters of oral submucous fibrosis.
Methods: This case control study was conducted in a hospital setup. A total of 50 individuals participated in the study with 25 subjects in group I (healthy individuals) and 25 subjects in group II 25 diagnosed cases of (oral submucous fibrosis). The sample size was calculated with open Epi version 3.01. A detailed assessment of clinical parameters of oral submucous fibrosis was made. Unstimulated saliva samples were collected from all study subjects meeting the inclusion criteria and analysis of saliva samples was done by qRTPCR.
Results: The results showed high expression levels of miRNA31 in oral submucous fibrosis as compared to the control group. The study demonstrated significantly higher median fold change of miRNA-31 expression level in OSMF patients as compared to the participants in the control group. Correlation between age of patients and miRNA31 fold change was discerned using the Spearman rank test that demonstrated a non-significant negative correlation.
Conclusion: Increased expression levels of miRNA 31 among oral submucous fibrosis as compared to the control group make it a promising salivary biomarker that detects oral submucous fibrosis at an early stage of the disease.

Published: December 2021

Background: One of the significant causes of morbidity worldwide and an essential contributor to disability is Stroke. As said by the National Stroke Association, nine post-stroke survivors out of 10 experience some degree of weakness post-stroke. The hemiplegic patients with sub-acute stroke, who will undergo training to both the lower limb overtraining to only involved side will have an improvement in balance and walking. The goal of this study is to see how much training to both the lower limb improves functional recovery in patients who have had a subacute stroke compared to unilateral, more insufficient limb training.
Objective: The goal of this study was to see how training to both the lower limb overtraining to the hemiparetic lower limb on balance and walking in subacute stroke patients.
Methods: A randomized clinical study with assessor blinding will be conducted with participants with subacute stroke (n=40). Participants will be randomized to one of two groups after performing baseline assessments: Group A or Group B.1st group will receive training only to the hemiparetic side, i.e., Motor Relearning Programme and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, and 2nd group participants will receive bilateral training, i.e., Strengthening to the unaffected side along with Motor Relearning Programme and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation to the affected side. During the therapy period, we will assess lower limb function through static and dynamic balance, walking, and gait measures.
Results: The purpose of the research is to look into the effect of training to both the lower limb overtraining to the hemiparetic lower limb on balance and walking in subacute stroke patients. The results of this study will be based on the outcome measures that are static and dynamic balance in the stroke patients and walking.
Conclusion: The study's findings will shed more light on the benefits of training to both the lower limb overtraining to only involved side in patients post-stroke. If this trial proves successful, it will help post-stroke patients improve their balance and walking.

The Society's Secretary John Stuart was prompted to contact Lord Cawdor regarding some of his land in Nairn regarding the reports that a stone circle had been destroyed on his land there. He verified that there had been no recent alterations to the stone circle and reassured the Secretary that he had instructed his tenants not to remove any more stones from the site. It was noted that the outcry about this topic indicated strong public feelings towards the preservation of historical sites.
Several other letters were read out, including one indicating that the Archaeological Institute intended to hold their next meeting in Edinburgh. A report on the state of St Margaret's Well was also related to the meeting, in which the committee noted its poor state of repair and recommended that the building be removed to prevent further damage.

AbstractElectrochemical deposition has emerged as an efficient technique for preparing conjugated polymer films on electrodes. However, this method encounters difficulties in synthesizing crystalline products and controlling their orientation on electrodes. Here we report electrochemical film deposition of a large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. The film is composed of single‐crystalline nanorods, in which the molecules adopt a cofacial stacking arrangement along the π–π direction. Film thickness and crystal size can be controlled by electrochemical conditions such as scan rate and electrolyte species, while the choice of anode material determines crystal orientation. The film supports exceptionally efficient migration of both free carriers and excitons: the free carrier mobility reaches over 30 cm2 V−1 s−1, whereas the excitons are delocalized with a low binding energy of 118.5 meV and a remarkable exciton diffusion length of 45 nm.

Published: December 2021

AbstractA novel flow electrochemical reactor that accomplishes electrolysis within a few seconds in a single passage was developed. By using the flow reactor system, the flash electrochemical generation of short‐lived carbocations, including oxocarbenium ions, N‐acyliminium ions, glycosyl cations, and Ferrier cations was achieved within a few seconds, enabling the subsequent reaction with nucleophiles before their decomposition. Moreover, continuous operation based on the present system enabled the rapid synthesis of pharmaceutical precursors on demand.

Published: December 2021

AbstractDuring the light‐dependent reaction of photosynthesis, green plants couple photoinduced cascades of redox reactions with transmembrane proton translocations to generate reducing equivalents and chemical energy in the form of NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) and ATP (adenosine triphosphate), respectively. We mimic these basic processes by combining molecular ruthenium polypyridine‐based photocatalysts and inverted vesicles derived fromEscherichia coli. Upon irradiation with visible light, the interplay of photocatalytic nicotinamide reduction and enzymatic membrane‐located respiration leads to the simultaneous formation of two biologically active cofactors, NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and ATP, respectively. This inorganic‐biologic hybrid system thus emulates the cofactor delivering function of an active chloroplast.

AbstractInspired by efficient biomolecular reactions in the cell, versatile DNA nanostructures have been explored for manipulating the spatial position and regulating reactions at the molecular level. Spatially controlled arrangement of molecules on the artificial scaffolds generally leads to enhanced reaction activities. Especially, the rich toolset of dynamic DNA nanostructures provides a potential route towards more sophisticated and vigorous regulation of molecular reactions. Herein, a reconfigurable DNA origami domino array (DODA) as a dynamic scaffold was adopted in this work for temporal‐controlled and switchable molecular cascade reactions. Dynamic regulation of the assembly of G‐quadruplex, hybridization of parallel‐stranded duplex and assembly of binary DNAzyme were demonstrated. Molecular cascade reactions on the triggered reconfiguration of DODAs were realized, resulting in more complex, dynamic, and switchable control over the reactions.
High‐resolution observations of low‐luminosity peaked spectrum sources
Authors: Collier Jordan D. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractAlthough radio observations have been historically seen as less valuable than optical observations, today's broadband radio spectra of peaked spectrum sources reveal detailed physics from within the inner region of the galaxy, on spatial scales beyond what an optical telescope can resolve. Peaked radio spectra are thought to be evolving into large‐scale radio galaxies, although an over‐abundance of the most compact sources reveals that a significant fraction are confined within their host galaxies. Furthermore, at the lowest luminosities, these sources are largely unknown, and may reveal the small‐scale precursors of FR‐I galaxies. Here, I summarize the previous work exploring the properties of low‐luminosity peaked radio sources, and the future work that extends on this within even deeper radio observations of well‐studied fields.

Published: December 2021

AbstractFür eine präventive und nachhaltige Instandhaltung von Infrastrukturbauwerken sind regelmäßige visuelle Inspektionen von großer Bedeutung, um Schäden frühzeitig zu erkennen und entsprechende Maßnahmen zu ergreifen. Moderne Technologien wie unbemannte Flugsysteme, ausgerüstet mit hochauflösenden Kameras, unterstützen immer mehr den Inspektionsprozess und die damit verbundene Dokumentation. Dadurch entstehen große Mengen an Bilddaten, Orthofotos, Punktwolken und Oberflächennetzen, welche die gesamte Bauwerksoberfläche in einem ausreichend hohen Detailgrad darstellen und die Annotation von visuell detektierbaren Anomalien ermöglichen. Um diese Datenmenge effektiv nutzen und verwalten zu können, sind Methoden zur Verarbeitung und entsprechend verknüpfte Datenmodelle notwendig. Vor dem Hintergrund einer kontinuierlich zu wiederholenden Bauwerksüberwachung ist eine Automatisierung der einzelnen Analyseschritte besonders vielversprechend. In diesem Aufsatz werden Ansätze für die Verarbeitung großer bildbasierter Datensätze zu einem verknüpften Inspektionsmodell beschrieben. Dazu wird gezeigt, wie Annotationen in Bildern und Orthofotos im Kontext von idealisierten Simulationsmodellen genutzt werden und den Prozess der Zustandsbewertung unterstützen können. Der daraus entstehende digitale Zwilling soll eine konsistente Datenbasis über mehrere Zustände abbilden und damit die Verwaltung heterogener Inspektionsdaten ermöglichen.

Published: December 2021

AbstractWe introduce an efficient method for the immobilization of phenolic compounds, based on 1,2,4,‐triazoline‐3,5‐dione (TAD), which selectively reacts with phenolic compounds at the α position to the phenolic hydroxyl group, ensuring intact phenol functionality, and therefore, maintaining the biological activity of the phenolic compound. We prepared self‐assembled monolayers on gold that presented urazole (the reduced form of TAD) as the terminal group and which were activated electrochemically without treatment with chemical oxidants, allowing on‐demand activation and in situ immobilization of the phenolic compounds. We examined the immobilization of various phenolic compounds and verified the surface chemistry using electrochemistry and mass spectrometry. The proposed method is simple and straightforward and does not require complicated protocols and reagents, and thus, it can be a general and practical platform for the immobilization of phenol‐containing molecules on the surfaces of various materials.

Published: December 2021

AbstractThis work deals with the design and synthesis of 18 barbituric acid derivatives bearing 1,3‐dimethylbarbituric acid and cinnamic acid scaffolds to find potent anticancer agents. The target molecules were obtained through Knoevenagel condensation and acylation reaction. The cytotoxicity was assessed by the MTT assay. Flowcytometry was performed to determine the cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, ROS levels and the loss of MMP. The ratios of GSH/GSSG and the MDA levels were determined by using UV spectrophotometry. The results revealed that introducing substitutions (CF3, OCF3, F) on the meta‐ of the benzyl ring of barbituric acid derivatives led to a considerable increase in the antiproliferative activities compared with that of corresponding ortho‐ and para‐substituted barbituric acid derivatives. Mechanism investigation implied that the 1c could increase the ROS and MDA level, decrease the ratio of GSH/GSSG and MMP, and lead to cell cycle arrest. Further research is needed for structural optimization to enhance hydrophilicity, thereby improve the biological activity of these compounds.
