Abstract
This study investigates the effects of applying two vegetable and one mineral-based cutting fluids with 0.05 %wt and 0.1 %wt dispersion of graphene sheets on the tribosystem generated at the interface between the cemented carbide tool and the AISI 1045 steel workpiece. The fluids are firstly characterized (viscosity, thermal conductivity and diffusivity, and wettability) and tested in reciprocating and ramp milling tests. The results show that the graphene sheets alter the thermo-physical and tribological properties of the cutting fluids; in this case, vegetable-based cutting fluids, even in minimum quantities and with graphene nanoparticles, have a high potential for increasing the efficiency and sustainability of the milling process.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) survive in the bloodstream, seed, and invade to foster tumor metastasis. The arrest of CTCs is favored by permissive flow forces and geometrical constraints. Through the use of high-throughput microfluidic devices designed to mimic capillary-sized vessels, we applied different pressure differences to cancer cells and recorded cell traverse-vessel behaviors. Our results showed that cancer cells would transform from Newtonian droplet state to adhesion/migration state when cancer cells traverse in the artificial vessels. To explain these phenomena, a modified Newtonian droplet model was also proposed. These phenomena and the modified model may reveal how the CTCs in the blood seed and invade in the vessels under suitable conditions.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background: Hemichorea is a common post-stroke movement disorder. Although the general prognosis is good, permanent functional impairment remains in a substantial number of patients with post-stroke hemichorea. Anti-choreic drugs may alleviate symptoms in mild cases, but they often incur unacceptable side effects like tardive dyskinesia and parkinsonism. Surgery is rarely indicated for the treatment of vascular chorea, except in refractory cases. Case presentation: Here we reported a case of a 71-year-old man with severe choreatic movements after stroke, which caused the inability to perform the activities of daily living. Computed tomography revealed signs of former bleeding in the left caudate nucleus. Due to poor response to pharmacologic treatment, he was subjected to physical therapy and repetitive magnetic stimulation (rTMS) using a parabolic coil with 1 Hz over the left M1 area. The patient reported reduced symptoms after the 1st week of stimulation. rTMS substantially reduced choreatic movements and improved functional scores, including Brunnstrom recovery stage, Fugl–Meyer Assessment, Barthel index, Berg balance scale, and Dyskinesias scale. After 4 weeks of therapy, he was discharged with only a slight involuntary movement on the left side. No relapse occurred during the 1-year follow-up. Conclusions: Further studies are needed to reveal the mechanism of the observed effects and confirm the efficacy of rTMS as an alternative treatment for severe post-stroke hemichorea.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
This study demonstrates the diagnostic performance of SARS-CoV-2 RT-LAMP assays, comparing the performance of genomic versus sub-genomic sequence target with subsequent application in an asymptomatic screening population. An RT-LAMP workflow was developed using synthetic positive control RNA and the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity was then determined using clinical patient samples processed through the diagnostic RT-PCR service within the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. 92 RT-PCR clinically positive and 88 RT-PCR clinically negative swab samples along with 78 clinically positive and 63 clinically negative saliva samples were equally detected at 100% DSe and 100% DSp for all samples reporting a Ct < 20. DSe for all samples reporting a Ct < 30 reduced slightly to around 95% (100% DSp) for both the single genomic (large open reading frame; orf1a) and dual sub-genomic (nucleocapsid plus envelope) targeting RT-LAMP assays. Lastly, the diagnostic performance of a saliva direct workflow was only about 50% that of the saliva RNA extraction workflow. Subsequently, a swab based RNA -RT-LAMP assay was implemented to ISO 15189:2012 standards supporting an advisory COVID-19 screening program for staff and students at the University of Leicester between October and December 2020. Within a 24-hour period, total nucleic acid extraction was followed by genomic target RT-LAMP plus an internal total RNA control to mitigate the possibility of false negative reporting. SARS-CoV-2 RT-LAMP positive samples were confirmed by an RT-PCR test in an NHS diagnostic laboratory and results were included within national statistics. Nine confirmed positive samples were detected in 1680 symptom free individuals (equivalent to 540 cases per 100,000) thus demonstrating the utility of RT-LAMP molecular diagnostic tool for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in an asymptomatic population.
Identifying and interpreting extreme rainfall events using image classification
Authors: Barnes Andrew Paul , McCullen Nick , Kjeldsen Thomas Rodding 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
This study presents the first attempt to identify extreme rainfall events based on surrounding sea-level pressure anomalies, using neural network-based classification. Sensitivity analysis was also performed to identify the spatial importance of sea-level pressure anomalies. Three classification models were generated: the first classifies the patterns between extreme and regular rainfall events in the North West of England, the second classifies the patterns between extreme and regular rainfall events in the South East of England, and the third classifies between the patterns of extreme events in the North West and South East of England. All classifiers obtain accuracies between 60 and 65%, with precision and recall metrics showing that extreme events are easier to identify than regular events. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is performed to identify the spatial importance of the patterns across the North Atlantic, highlighting that for all three classifiers the local anomaly sea-level pressure patterns around the British Isles are key to determining the difference between extreme and regular rainfall events. In contrast, the pattern across the mid and western North Atlantic shows no contribution to the overall classifications.
GEP- and MLR-based equations for stable channel analysis
Authors: Harun Mohd Afiq , Ab. Ghani Aminuddin , Mohammadpour Reza , Chan Ngai Weng 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
For decades, research on stable channel hydraulic geometry was based on the following parameters: river discharge, dimensionless discharge, the median size of bed material and the slope. Although significant research has been conducted in this area, including applied machine learning to increase the geometry model prediction accuracy, there has been no remarkable improvement as the variables used to describe the geometry relationship remain the same. The novelty of this study is demonstrated by the parameters used in the stable channel geometry equations that outperform the existing equation's accuracy. In this research, sediment transport parameters are introduced and analysed by applying the multiple linear regression (MLR) and gene expression programming (GEP) methods. The new equation of the width, depth and bed slope can give much-improved results in efficiency and lower errors. Furthermore, a new parameter B/y is introduced in this study to solve the restriction issue, either in width or depth prediction. The results from MLR and GEP show that in addition to the existing hydraulic geometry parameter, the B/y parameter is also able to give high accuracy results for width and depth predictions. Both calibration and validation for the B/y parameter yield high R2 and NSE values with low mean squared errors and mean absolute errors.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
In this study, for the first time, to our knowledge, a biosensor was produced using cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) treatment of silver thin film surface with non-perpendicular incidence angle for identification of Escherichia coli in distilled water. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) exhibits that before deposition, non-perpendicular CAP treatment of glass surface substrate leads to the production of pinhole-free silver thin ﬁlm. The results of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and curve fitting show that non-perpendicular CAP treatment of this pinhole-free silver thin film indicates to the appearance of Ag NPs with smaller size and larger surface area compared to untreated silver film deposited on the untreated glass substrate. The silver-based pinhole-free SPR biosensor produced with non-perpendicular CAP treatment of both glass substrate and silver film shows E. coli detection in the distilled water in the range of 104 colony forming unit (CFU/ml) to 108 CFU/ml with better sensitivity compared to the untreated silver-based SPR biosensor.
Electrochemical Properties of NiCo2S4/rGO Nanocomposites Synthesized
by Hydrothermal Method
Authors: Ding Meijie , Wei ZhiQiang , Huang ShangPan , Li Chao , Lu Qiang 
Published: August 2021

Background:
Transition metal sulfide, especially Nickel cobalt sulfide (NiCo2S4), has
been widely studied as electrode material based on its excellent electrochemical properties. It is
found that increasing the conductivity and stability of the electrode material can greatly improve the
performance of the supercapacitor.

Method:
Three-dimensional (3D) NiCo2S4 and NiCo2S4/rGO composite material are synthesized via
two-step hydrothermal method for high-performance supercapacitor electrode material. Besides, the
electrochemical properties of NiCo2S4/rGO have been analyzed by many characterization methods.

Results:
The experiment shows that pure NiCo2S4 samples exhibit a cubic spinel structure, and their
morphologies are 3D flower-like structures. The ultra-pasteurized NiCo2S4 nanospheres have been
successfully inserted into the surface of graphene through a hydrothermal method. A large specific
surface of NiCo2S4/rGO has been observed from morphology and structure analysis. The specific
electric capacity of the NiCo2S4/rGO electrode has reached 1002.9 F/g, when the current density is 1
A/g.

Conclusion:
It has been found that the capacitance retention rate of NiCo2S4/rGO composite electrode
material has increased from 59.6% to 88.5% compared to NiCo2S4 after 2000 cycles at 5 A/g.
Moreover, experiments denote that NiCo2S4/rGO electrode material has a larger ion diffusion rate
and lesser solution resistance from the Electrochemical Independence Spectrum (EIS).

Reduction of TiO2 and its Photocatalytic Activity
Authors: Kouhail Meriem , ahmadi Zakia El , Benayada Abbés , Gmouh Said 
Published: August 2021

Background:
Monitoring of the chemical synthesis of black titanium.

Objective:
In this study, we prepared a black titanium nanomaterial by chemical reduction (NaBH4
treatment). Control of the black TiO2 nanomaterial synthesis followed by a thermal analysis from
100°C to 400°C under azote atmosphere is presented. We used a commercial dye, Reactive Bezactiv
Yellow (RBY) degradation, to examine the photocatalytic activity of the black titanium.

Method:
The thermal analysis of WT and a mixture of treated TiO2(WT+NaBH4) was examined by
thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
The obtained nanoparticle is analyzed by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy
(SEM), infrared spectroscopy (IR), UV–visible spectrophotometry, thermal gravimetric analysis
(TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Results:
A deformation of the crystalline lattice is extended beyond the entire visible spectrum. The
thermal property reveals that the black titanium is more stable than the white titanium, and BT indicated
a more photocatalytic performance than WT.

Conclusion:
We have successfully synthesized black titanium via chemical reduction employing a
synthesis of white titanium. The thermal analysis reveals that BT has a high resistance than WT that
offers a promising opportunity for several photocatalytic applications.
Microalgae Production: A Sustainable Alternative for a Low-carbon Economy Transition
Authors: Bacellar Mendes Leonardo Brantes , Viegas Carolina Vieira , Joao Rafael Richard , Bernardo da Silva Ronaldo 
Published: August 2021

The production of microalgae on a commercial scale began in the 1970s. From this time until today it has consolidated itself as an alternative for human consumption and animal feed, mainly through aquaculture (carcinoculture, oyster farming, and fish farming).
Currently, most of the micro-algal biomass that has been produced in photoautotrophic systems for human consumption comes from four main genera (Chlorella, Arthrospira, Dunaliella, and Haematococcus). Recent advances allowed Nannochloropsis and Euglena cultivation in open ponds for feed and fuels.
Although the initiatives mentioned represent the success of the scale-up for microalgae production, there are challenges to be overcome for the use of the vast set of existing microalgae species.
The promising future of the industry involved in large scale production of microalgae is supported by its characteristic that is clearly sustainable from an ecological point of view and in the transition proposal to a low carbon economy that has been intensified in response to the effects caused by the progressive release of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Innovative applications from microalgae biotechnology are being developed every year. In this context, there have been several research and development initiatives over the past decade aimed at obtaining advanced fuels making full use of micro-algal biomass.
Public Health Surveillance Systems in the Eastern Mediterranean Region: Bibliometric Analysis of Scientific Literature
Authors: Saad Randa K , Al Nsour Mohannad , Khader Yousef , Al Gunaid Magid 
Published: August 2021

Background
The Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) hosts some of the world’s worst humanitarian and health crises. The implementation of health surveillance in this region has faced multiple constraints. New and novel approaches in surveillance are in a constant state of high and immediate demand. Identifying the existing literature on surveillance helps foster an understanding of scientific development and thus potentially supports future development directions.

Objective
This study aims to illustrate the scientific production, quantify the scholarly impact, and highlight the characteristics of publications on public health surveillance in the EMR over the past decade.

Methods
We performed a Scopus search using keywords related to public health surveillance or its disciplines, cross-referenced with EMR countries, from 2011 to July 2021. Data were exported and analyzed using Microsoft Excel and Visualization of Similarities Viewer. Quality of journals was determined using SCImago Journal Rank and CiteScore.

Results
We retrieved 1987 documents, of which 1927 (96.98%) were articles or reviews. There has been an incremental increase in the number of publications (exponential growth, R2=0.80) over the past decade. Publications were mostly affiliated with Iran (501/1987, 25.21%), the United States (468/1987, 23.55%), Pakistan (243/1987, 12.23%), Egypt (224/1987, 11.27%), and Saudi Arabia (209/1987, 10.52%). However, Iran only had links with 40 other countries (total link strength 164), and the biggest collaborator from the EMR was Egypt, with 67 links (total link strength 402). Within the other EMR countries, only Morocco, Lebanon, and Jordan produced ≥79 publications in the 10-year period. Most publications (1551/1987, 78.06%) were affiliated with EMR universities. Most journals were categorized as medical journals, and the highest number of articles were published in the Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal (SCImago Journal Rank 0.442; CiteScore 1.5). Retrieved documents had an average of 18.4 (SD 125.5) citations per document and an h-index of 66. The top-3 most cited documents were from the Global Burden of Diseases study. We found 70 high-frequency terms, occurring ≥10 times in author keywords, connected in 3 clusters. COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, and pandemic represented the most recent 2020 cluster.

Conclusions
This is the first research study to quantify the published literature on public health surveillance and its disciplines in the EMR. Research productivity has steadily increased over the past decade, and Iran has been the leading country publishing relevant research. Recurrent recent surveillance themes included COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2. This study also sheds light on the gaps in surveillance research in the EMR, including inadequate publications on noncommunicable diseases and injury-related surveillance.

Published: August 2021

Nosso objetivo nesse artigo foi construir uma espécie de retrato do romance contemporâneo de autoria feminina, no qual destacamos as suas principais características temáticas, estéticas e ideológicas, matizadas de subversões feministas. O ponto de partida foi o mapeamento do modo de construção das personagens que integram um corpus constituído por 151 romances escritos por mulheres e publicados por três grandes editoras brasileiras entre os anos 2000 e 2015, realizado por meio da pesquisa “Literatura de autoria feminina brasileira contemporânea: escolhas inclusivas?”. A metodologia compreendeu o reconhecimento, a problematização e a interpretação de constantes que permeiam essa produção. O aporte teórico foi constituído a partir de uma perspectiva multidisciplinar que aborda o texto literário em suas interseções com o contexto sociocultural em que emerge e com teorias nascidas para pensar o mundo contemporâneo e suas manifestações artísticas, com ênfase na teoria crítica feminista.
CURRÍCULO COMO JAZZ
Authors: Mosca Maristela 
Published: August 2021

O presente texto tem como objetivo apresentar dialogicamente o constructo Currículo como Jazz, seus pressupostos e implicações metodológicas no ensino de música em uma escola básica. Recorte de nossa investigação de doutoramento em Ciências da Educação – Especialidade Desenvolvimento Curricular, o texto, que se aporta em uma revisão bibliográfica, em interlocução com os processos investigativos, pretende inicialmente aproximar as concepções teórico-metodológicas dos conceitos de Música, Educação Musical, Inclusão e Interdisciplinaridade, propondo movimentos de conversação e improvisação, permitindo, dessa forma, a volta ao tema Currículo como Jazz para, assim, configurar um perfil pedagógico-musical inclusivo e interdisciplinar. Nessa narrativa curricular, acolhemos a metáfora do Currículo como Jazz, propondo uma narrativa com a Jam Session, bem como compartilhando nossas maneiras de dar sentido a Educação Musical e as possibilidades de desenhos curriculares que abarquem a conversação e improvisação. Nesse sentido, acolhemos uma Jam Session que envolva os sentidos de diálogo, trabalho coletivo, autoaprendizagem e igualdade de oportunidades, que valorize a tomada de decisões, a autonomia e a reflexão, e que articule, dessa forma, a inclusão e a interdisciplinaridade. Dessa forma, compreendemos a Jam Session como experiência coletiva, um espaço de aprendizagem social a partir do cultivo da individualidade musical. Nesse movimento, o ensino de Música se compõe em uma comunidade de aprendizagem recíproca, que se (re)descobre e (re)escreve a cada momento, no movimento performático de um Currículo como Jazz.
