The article aims to analyze the effects of globalization and productive restructuring to the organization of production, workers and trade unions of the Brazilian pulp and paper. This is an industry internationalized, whose trade relations is made between countries. The methodological procedures included: literature research, field research, documents research, analysis of statistics on the labor market, visits to companies and unions, and interviews. The central argument is that the changes associated with globalization have a major bounce inside the factories, changing the balance of power between the various actors involved in the production. Worker participation is an important asset for the companies surveyed. The restructuring that occurs in this industry (from the second half of the 90s) is ‘systemic’, crosses the boundaries of firms, reverberating throughout the production chain: restructuring of supply chains internationally, redefinition of managerial strategies of companies, changes in relationships with local communities, changes in relationships with firms that comprise the supply chain of products and services and the reformulation of trade union strategies. Management decisions ‘techniques’ that hide a dimension ‘policy’ changed the power relations between chiefs, engineers and workers of the factory floor. Technological advances and changes in the plan of work organization and human resource policies are understood here as integrated measures that complement each other to influence participation and productivity growth in a context marked by increasing competitiveness and competition.

An attempt by education agents to form professionals from higher education, to solve the demands of society, is the offer of Higher Education Technology Courses. Among their characteristics, these courses must be offered in specific social contexts (local demands and needs) associated with short time academic training (from 2 to 3 years). Although these courses have been in existence since the 1970s, they had a greater emphasis since the 2000s, when the Brazilian legislation was updated and for the government incentives. From descriptive exploratory study, conducted a comparative analysis of the courses offered by public and private institutions. Specifically, analysis about the quantification of courses offered, the study vacancies offered, the graduating students and the relationships between courses, institutions, vacancies and graduating students were conducted. The analysis were performed from the microdata of the Higher Education Census, provided by the Ministry of Education, including data of Census from 2008 to 2017. Among the results obtained, we can highlight the practically linear growth of the offer of these courses, the contrasts between the courses offered by private and public institutions, and the low values for the graduating indicator, which resumes the high dropout rates.

Water resources are very important for all living organisms, and as being of vital importance need to be preserved. Thus, many water bodies are monitored as an essential strategy for identification of possible alterations over space and time. The analyses were performed in two different hydrological conditions, and water sample and rocks were collected in two different points at each lake. The results showed higher values of Ammoniacal Nitrogen in Aratimbó Lake, mainly during dry period (Ammoniacal Nitrogen = 4.2 mgL-1) at P1. However, P2 at Tucuruvi Lake presented higher concentration of Orthophosphate (2.24 mgL-1). Total Periphyton density also demonstrated variation among the different hydrological scenarios and lakes. The Highest density was of 385.30 10³ ind.cm-2at Aratimbó Lake and 180.43 10³ ind.cm-2at Tucuruvi Lake in rainy condition. Comparing the predominance of species, In Aratimbó Lake, Chlorophyceae class was predominant at P1, while Cyanophyceae class was predominant at P2. In dry period, Bacillarophyceae class was seen as the predominant class for both of lakes and for all sampling points. Differently from Aratimbó Lake, in Tucuruvi Lake Bacillarophyceae class was predominant in both of hydrological scenarios.

Le dispositif de remédiation et de lutte contre le décrochage scolaire : ou comment repérer et accompagner le lycéen dans son parcours scolaire?
Authors: Barthélémy Véronique 
Published: February 2021

La question du décrochage scolaire est devenue non seulement un objet de recherche scientifique mais aussi une préoccupation politique et sociale. Ainsi, des plans d’actions gouvernementaux accompagnés de dispositifs se développent dans les établissements scolaires. Prenant appui sur l’expérience menée dans une cité scolaire, nous étudions en quoi le « dispositif de remédiation et de tutorat », destiné aux lycéens en difficulté à risque de décrochage, peut changer leur rapport à l’école et permettre leur raccrochage. Nous situant dans une approche compréhensive, nous considérons les élèves comme des informateurs capables de relater leur pratique et d’y réfléchir; huit élèves sont interrogés par entretien. Nos résultats montrent qu’ils ont progressé scolairement et méthodologiquement, réintégré leur lycée et développé la confiance en eux.
The Interior World of Books, Browsing, and Collecting Inside the City
Authors: Snyder Alison B 
Published: February 2021

A most desirable and collectable material object is the ubiquitous book. A bound composite of printed pages with words and images, it contains a microcosm of myriad narrative viewpoints, experiences, and imaginations. Metaphorically, a book compactly conceals a kind of interior space that protects the provocative lives of people, their character, ideas, and explorations, thus communicating different scales of interiority. Book collectors, called bibliophiles, revere and covet books as their object of desire. The bibliophile as seeker-collector-seller partakes of simple and complex transactions that essentially protect the lives of the books. This essay concentrates on two main book browsing locations within the urban context of Istanbul, Turkey, and the everyday interior spaces of the sahaf, the secondhand bookseller, who continues a tradition of selling new, pre-owned or secondhand ordinary or rare books. Its text moves between historic information and first-person narrative based on fieldwork to express and expand views of interiority theory, through reality and metaphor. The many scales of individual and collective impulses found inside the city streets and their inserted passage structures are exemplified by the significant simultaneity of the desire for the hand-held object and its hand-to-hand exchange.

AbstractProtein crosslinks occur endogenously such as modifications by ubiquitin‐like proteins for signaling, or exogenously through genetically encoded chemical crosslinkers (GECX) for studying elusive protein–protein interactions. However, it remains challenging to identify these protein crosslinks efficiently at the proteomic scale. Herein, software OpenUaa is developed for identifying protein crosslinks generated by genetically encoded unnatural amino acids and endogenous protein conjugation. OpenUaa features inclusive and open search capability, dramatically improving identification sensitivity and coverage. Integrating GECX with OpenUaa, the direct interactome of thioredoxin is identified in Escherichia coli cells, yielding 289 crosslinked peptides and corresponding to 205 direct binding protein of thioredoxin. These identified direct binders provide evidence for thioredoxin's regulation of redox state and mitochondria energy metabolism. When identifying endogenous conjugation of small ubiquitin‐like modifier (SUMO), OpenUaa also markedly improves coverage of SUMOylated peptides by ≈92%, revealing new SUMO targets. GECX–OpenUaa will enable efficient identification of direct interactomes of various proteins in live cells.

Published: February 2021

AbstractAlthough antimony selenoiodide (SbSeI) exhibits a suitable bandgap as well as interesting physicochemical properties, it has not been applied to solar cells. Here the fabrication of SbSeI solar cells is reported for the first time using multiple spin‐coating cycles of SbI3 solutions on Sb2Se3 thin layer, which is formed by thermal decomposition after depositing a single‐source precursor solution. The performance exhibits a short‐circuit current density of 14.8 mA cm−2, an open‐circuit voltage of 473.0 mV, and a fill factor of 58.7%, yielding a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.1% under standard air mass 1.5 global (AM 1.5 G, 100 mW cm−2). The cells retain ≈90.0% of the initial PCE even after illuminating under AM 1.5G (100 mW cm−2) for 2321 min. Here, a new approach is provided for combining selenide and iodide as anions, to fabricate highly efficient, highly stable, green, and low‐cost solar cells.

AbstractWhile the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic affirms an urgent global need for effective vaccines as second and third infection waves are spreading worldwide and generating new mutant virus strains, it has also revealed the importance of mitigating the transmission of SARS‐CoV‐2 through the introduction of restrictive social practices. Here, it is demonstrated that an architecturally‐ and chemically‐diverse family of nanostructured anionic polymers yield a rapid and continuous disinfecting alternative to inactivate coronaviruses and prevent their transmission from contact with contaminated surfaces. Operating on a dramatic pH‐drop mechanism along the polymer/pathogen interface, polymers of this archetype inactivate the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus, as well as a human coronavirus surrogate (HCoV‐229E), to the minimum detection limit within minutes. Application of these anionic polymers to frequently touched surfaces in medical, educational, and public‐transportation facilities, or personal protection equipment, can provide rapid and repetitive protection without detrimental health or environmental complications.
Drag reduction of aqueous suspensions of fine solid matter in pipe flows
Authors: Watanabe Keizo , Ogata Satoshi 
Published: February 2021

AbstractIt is well known that drag reduction properties of polymer solutions in pipe flows are classified into two categories, based on the relationship between the friction factor and the Reynolds number. The degree of drag reduction either increases with an increase in the Reynolds number or is independent of the Reynolds number. In the latter case, the drag reduction behavior is referred to as type B behavior. In this study, the pressure losses of aqueous suspensions of biofibers and graphene oxide flat particles in pipe flows were measured to clarify the effect of the shape of suspended fine solid matter on the friction factor. The experimental results demonstrated that the behavior of the friction factor corresponded with the type B behavior of drag reduction. The mean velocity profile in the range of the turbulent flow was also estimated from the friction factor data.

AbstractIn CLN3 disease, impairments in motor function are frequently reported to have later onset compared to visual and cognitive decline, but upper limb motor function has yet to be explored in this population. In a cohort of 22 individuals with CLN3, we used a novel application of multiple measures to (1) characterize motor function, particularly of the upper limbs, in activities of daily living (ADLs), and (2) explore associations between motor function and age as well as visual ability, disease severity, and cognitive function, as evaluated by the Unified Batten Disease Rating Scale (UBDRS), a validated CLN3 disease measure. ADLs that required coordination, speed, and fine motor control were particularly challenging for children with CLN3 based on item‐level performance across direct assessments (Jebsen–Taylor Hand Function Test [JTHFT] and MyoSet Tools) and caregiver reports (Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory‐Computer Adaptive Testing [PEDI‐CAT] and Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System [PROMIS] Pediatric Upper Extremity). Poorer visual ability, disease severity, and cognitive function were associated with worse performance on these measures, whereas age had limited impact. These findings support the need for children with CLN3 to receive skilled clinical evaluation and treatment tailored to their individual needs, particularly in the context of ADLs, as their symptom profile progresses.

BackgroundComplicated empyema accompanied by bronchopleural fistula (BPF) has high mortality. The treatment strategy for severe respiratory failure due to empyema with BPF has yet to be established.Case PresentationA 70‐year‐old man was brought to our hospital and diagnosed with right empyema, BPF (at bronchi B4–10), and secondary left pneumonia. We initiated drainage followed by veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation due to the severe hypoxia. First, the patient underwent endoscopic treatment with obstructive materials (known as endobronchial Watanabe spigot [EWS]) at B8–10, and was weaned off veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation on day 7. A secondary EWS was carried out at B4–6. A combination of medical treatments (drainage, antibiotics, nutritional therapy, and rehabilitation) improved his general condition. The patient was able to leave the hospital on foot.ConclusionA comprehensive approach could explain the success of the medical treatment. The principal components are the repeated application of EWS as damage control.

AimThis study aimed to clarify whether the lying‐flat position from prehospital to emergency department settings more effectively improves neurological outcomes of patients suspected with acute stroke over the sitting‐up position.MethodsWe searched PubMed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Igaku Chuo Zasshi for published randomized controlled trials until September 2019. The study population included patients suspected with acute stroke from prehospital to emergency department settings. We compared outcomes between the lying‐flat position and sitting‐up position groups. The critical outcome was the modified Rankin Scale score at 90 days, and important composite outcomes were 90‐day mortality, pneumonia recurrence, and recurrent ischemic stroke. The certainty of evidence of the outcome level was compared using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach.ResultsIn total, 881 studies were identified from the databases, and two randomized controlled trials were included in the analysis. The pooled risk ratio of 90‐day modified Rankin Scale score was not statistically significant (risk ratio 0.86; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.56–1.32) between the lying‐flat position and sitting‐up position groups. When comparing the 90‐day mortality, pneumonia occurrence, and recurrent ischemic stroke, no significant differences were observed between the two groups. Risk ratio was 1.00 (95% CI 0.87–1.14), 0.90 (95% CI 0.74–1.11), and 0.81 (95% CI 0.14–4.64) for 90‐day mortality, pneumonia occurrence, and recurrent ischemic stroke, respectively.ConclusionThis study suggests that the lying‐flat position is not more effective than the sitting‐up position in terms of 90‐day modified Rankin Scale score in patients suspected with acute stroke.

Published: February 2021

AbstractVulcanization at lower temperatures can be considered as a good alternative to reduce both investment and operation costs for cable insulation sheat and special purpose hose production lines. In this study, silane vulcanization of chlorinated polyethylene and chloroprene rubber blends at lower temperature was investigated. Rubber compounds were prepared by using internal mixer instead of an extrusion system which is widespread used for projected applications. Rheological and dynamic properties of the rubber compounds were studied. After vulcanization, physico‐mechanical, thermal, morphological and temperature scanning stress‐relaxation properties were investigated before and after thermal aging. Structural analysis was performed by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy so as to identify vulcanization reaction mechanism. All the compound compositions could be vulcanized at 110°C in the presence of water. Amino silane was found to be more effective than epoxy silane.

Published: February 2021

AbstractCatechin (CAT) was crosslinked with trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether (TMPTGE) to obtain degradable poly(CAT) particles in a single step. Spherical p(CAT) particles with tens of micrometer size range and an isoelectronic point at pH 1.2 were obtained. The hydrolytic degradation of p(CAT) particles provided sustainable and extended release with 264 mg/g CAT release within 10 days at pH 7.4. The antioxidant capacity of 55.0 ± 0.9 μg/ml gallic acid equivalent in terms of total phenol content, and 0.88 ± 0.3 μmol/g trolox equivalent were estimated for p(CAT) particles displaying strong radical scavenging capability. Blood clotting and hemolysis assays demonstrated dose‐dependent blood compatibility revealing higher blood compatibility for p(CAT) particles up to 10 μg/ml concentration. The cytotoxicity results show that p(CAT) particles have almost no toxicity for CCD841 normal colon cells at 250 μg/ml concentration in 24 h incubation time giving ~97% cell viability, whereas CAT molecules only provide ~34% cell viability.
