Published: September 2021

Neste trabalho, com auxílio da Teoria de Controle Ótimo, foi estabelecido um controlador discreto no tempo aplicável aos tanques de aeração dos processos de lodos ativados, processo largamente empregado para o tratamento de efluentes líquidos de origem sanitária ou industrial. O comportamento dinâmico das variáveis de estados empregadas para descrever o tanque de aeração foi descrito com auxílio do modelo proposto pela International Water Association. Concentração de biomassa, concentração de substrato e vazão efluente do tanque de aeração constituíram as variáveis de estado. Vazão de recirculação e vazão de descarte de lodo atuaram como variáveis de controle. As simulações computacionais conduzidas indicaram que o controlador proposto permite reduzir substancialmente os tempos de oscilação e as variações nas concentrações das variáveis de estado em relação as suas condições de equilíbrio.

Authors: Montenegro Mateus de Aguiar , Dutra Romulo Coriolano , Martins Guilherme Bandeira Candido 
Published: September 2021

Costume jewelry may expose skin to toxic metals due to sweat and friction, causing intoxications. An investigation was conducted over costume jewelry rings to study its behavior and verify its safety throughout their use, regarding toxic metal contamination. Qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis of the internal and external layers of the ring samples (costume jewelry) were made through X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF) and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The ring samples were also immerged in a synthetic sweat solution for 30 days. The lixiviated solution and post treated surfaces were analyzed by ICP-OES and Search Electron Microscopy (SEM), respectively. Metals such as Cu, Cd, Cr and Ni were identified in the surface composition, as well in the composition of the digested samples. The synthetic sweat eroded the rings surfaces, and metals such as Cd and Mn were lixiviated by it. The results indicate the presence and lixiviation of harmful metals that may cause health and environmental problems.
Biocompatibility of fungi and essential oils or vegetable extracts: a bibliometric review
Authors: Machado Clara Matte Borges , Pimentel Ida Chapaval 
Published: September 2021

Duponchelia fovealis is an agricultural pest that causes great losses in strawberry plantations. As an alternative to traditional chemical insecticides, entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are used to control this pest. One way to increase the effectiveness of these EPF is by combining them with plant extracts or essential oils (EOs). We carried out a literature review in the Web of Science database using Bibliometrix (version 4.0.0. – R free software tool). Our purpose was to analyze data on the use of EOs or plant extracts with microorganisms to control pests, and observe research trends on this topic. Between 1994 and 2020, 112 articles were published, with the Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control as the most outstanding journal. The country with the greatest number of publications on the topic in the analyzed period was Brazil (n=38), followed by India (n=26) and the United States (n=20). Keywords that stood out the most were compatibility, entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana, biological control, Azadirachta indica, silver nanoparticles, entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae, neem, and biocompatibility. Although this research field is growing, no record of a link between EPF and EOs or “plant extracts to control Duponchelia fovealis” was found.

Published: September 2021

The EBF structural system is identified by the use of bracing and link beams as components that work to receive lateral seismic loads. The position of the link beam makes the EBF system have several choices of bracing configuration; D-Braces, Split K-Braces, V-Braces, Split K & Inverted Split K-Braces, Inverted Y-Braces. Structural analysis was carried out on a 10-story building model for the EBF system with different type of bracing configurations using the ETABS software. All models analyzed according to Indonesian Code (SNI 1729:2015 and SNI 1726:2019) to obtain the structural element. Seismic analysis uses the response spectrum analysis method to obtain the structural response parameters in the EBF system. Result of the analysis for all of bracing configuration are shown that Split K-Braces model has the best response parameters when compared to the MRF system. The lowest value for the parameter is owned by Inverted Y-Braces, although overall it is still larger than the MRF system. The bracing configuration greatly affects the response of EBF system due to the behavior that occurs in the link beam, therefore the selection for type of bracing configuration is also important in the EBF system structure design.

Silver Nanoparticle Synthesis Using an Inkjet Mixing System
Authors: Maki Taisuke , Takeda Saki , Muranaka Yosuke , Mae Kazuhiro 
Published: September 2021

Individual nanoscale silver particles were produced using an inkjet mixing system. First, the behaviors of colliding droplets were investigated to prepare to conduct the synthesis without splitting merged droplets. When small droplets collided, they merged to form droplets that stayed in a state of coalescence at a higher discharging velocity. In addition, by changing the orientation at the collision point, the droplet velocity could be increased. Then, silver nanoparticle synthesis was conducted under conditions that avoided droplet splitting. Smaller particles were produced by higher-velocity collisions for all the examined droplet sizes. When droplets were 50–100 μm, an average particle diameter of 2.5 nm was produced. In addition, when droplets of different sizes collided, they formed a continuous supply of precursor, which subsequently resulted in production of particles with uniform size.

Purpose: Stroke-associated infection (SAI) is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association between neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) and SAI occurrence in patients with AIS.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all AIS patients who were admitted to the Neurology ward of The Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from November 2018 to October 2020. The relationship between NPAR and SAI was analyzed by multivariable analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to compare the predicted value of albumin, neutrophil percentage, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and NPAR.Results: We included 379 AIS patients out of which 51 (13.5%) developed SAI. The NPAR was independently associated with increased risk of SAI adjusting for confounders [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 10.52; 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.33–33.28; P &lt;0.001]. The optimal cutoff value of NPAR for predicting SAI incidence was 1.64, with sensitivity and specificity of 90.2 and 55.8%, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) value of NPAR [0.771 (0.725–0.812)] was higher than that of albumin [0.640 (0.590–0.689)], neutrophil percentage [0.747 (0.700–0.790)], and NLR [0.736 (0.689–0.780)], though the statistical significance appeared only between NPAR and albumin.Conclusions: We demonstrated that a higher NPAR could predict the occurrence of SAI. Thus, NPAR might be a more effective biomarker to predict SAI compared with albumin, neutrophil percentage, and NLR.

Published: September 2021

BackgroundRadical radiotherapy is the main treatment modality for early and locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the advantages of no ionizing radiation and high soft-tissue resolution compared to computed tomography (CT), but it does not provide electron density (ED) information for radiotherapy planning. Therefore, in this study, we developed a pseudo-CT (pCT) generation method to provide necessary ED information for MRI-only planning in NPC radiotherapy.MethodsTwenty patients with early-stage NPC who received radiotherapy in our hospital were investigated. First, 1433 sets of paired T1 weighted magnetic resonance (MR) simulation images and CT simulation images were rigidly registered and preprocessed. A 16-layer U-Net was used to train the pCT generative model and a “pix2pix” generative adversarial network (GAN) was also trained to compare with the pure U-Net regrading pCT quality. Second, the contours of all target volumes and organs at risk in the original CT were transferred to the pCT for planning, and the beams were copied back to the original CT for reference dose calculation. Finally, the dose distribution calculated on the pCT was compared with the reference dose distribution through gamma analysis and dose-volume indices.ResultsThe average time for pCT generation for each patient was 7.90 ± 0.47 seconds. The average mean (absolute) error was −9.3 ± 16.9 HU (102.6 ± 11.4 HU), and the mean-root-square error was 209.8 ± 22.6 HU. There was no significant difference between the pCT quality of pix2pix GAN and that of pure U-Net (p &gt; 0.05). The dose distribution on the pCT was highly consistent with that on the original CT. The mean gamma pass rate (2 mm/3%, 10% low dose threshold) was 99.1% ± 0.3%, and the mean absolute difference of nasopharyngeal PGTV D99% and PTV V95% were 0.4% ± 0.2% and 0.1% ± 0.1%.ConclusionThe proposed deep learning model can accurately predict CT from MRI, and the generated pCT can be employed in precise dose calculations. It is of great significance to realize MRI-only planning in NPC radiotherapy, which can improve structure delineation and considerably reduce additional imaging dose, especially when an MR-guided linear accelerator is adopted for treatment.
Effect of Intravenous IgM-Enriched Immunoglobulins on Presepsin and Other Sepsis Biomarkers

Published: September 2021

Patients in septic shock with low IgG and IgM serum concentrations have higher mortality rates compared to those with normal immunoglobulin levels and, therefore, there is a rational explanation to administer intravenous IgM-enriched immunoglobulins to septic patients in ICU. Aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous IgM-enriched immunoglobulins in decreasing several sepsis biomarker concentrations. 26 sepsis patients were enrolled in this observational cohort study and Nitric Oxide, Endocan, Pentraxin and presepsin serum levels were measured during their first 3 days of ICU stay. The use of intravenous IgM-enriched immunoglobulins did not influence the temporal evolution of SOFA, Nitric Oxide, Endocan, Pentraxin and Presepsin in the first 3 days of ICU stay in a statistically significant manner, even if Presepsin decreased of 25% from day 1 to day 2 in the Pentaglobin group. It seems possible that Pentaglobin infusion reduces the Presepsin level in a more effective way if it were administered to a younger population (p = 0.012). In conclusion, age modifies the response of Presepsin to Pentaglobin and is a critical variable when investigating the effect of intravenous IgM-enriched immunoglobulins on sepsis.

Published: September 2021

BackgroundElectronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are being marketed to people who smoke (PWS) as a smoking cessation aid. GPs have an important role in providing patients with support to encourage them to quit smoking. The emergence and marketing of e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation alternative poses challenges to GPs in advising and supporting PWS to quit.AimThis systematic review aims to synthesise available evidence on the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of GPs about e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation aid.Design & settingMixed-methods study review including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies of GPs in primary care settings.MethodMEDLINE, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), Scopus, PsycINFO, and Embase databases will be searched to identify articles published between 1 January 2003 and 30 June 2021. A Google search will be conducted to identify grey literature. Two independent reviewers will screen abstracts for relevance and full-text studies. Articles will be appraised for quality using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) and a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews, and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) diagram will illustrate the flow of articles and reasons for exclusion. An evidence synthesis method will be employed and guided by the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). A descriptive qualitative synthesis of the findings will be reported.ConclusionFindings will provide a synthesis of current evidence regarding the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions among GPs of e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation aid. This information will be useful to guide future research on the needs of GPs in advising and supporting patients to quit smoking. It will also assist in the development of health policy and guidelines on the role and place of e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation aid.

ABSTRACT

This paper examines the implications of interaction in foreign language learning and foreign language teaching. It intends to contribute to the discussion about the importance of interaction in and out of the classroom. Two papers were chosen to support the work on similar topics. The Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) is presented alongside Stephen Krashen’s hypothesis as well as the Input Hypothesis. Analyses and observations are exposed to both papers. The concept of interaction and its relevance in learning foreign languages followed by the importance of tasks in the interactional process will be addressed. Paiva’s ecological relation and how she relates it with the classroom environment and Jauregi’s interactional analysis will also be presented. Lastly, the work considers the human-machine interaction and the digitalization of language learning and teaching. Jauregi’s research on Second Life interactions is also analysed alongside the importance of blended learning. The analysis confirms the importance of interaction in learning foreign languages. It is the essence of communication which is the primary function of languages.

KEYWORDS: Foreign language learning. Classroom interaction. Task-based Language Teaching.

A crescente demanda por soluções inovadoras aliadas às práticas de ensino e aprendizagem gera um aumento no uso de dispositivos móveis não apenas por parte dos alunos, mas também por professores em suas práticas pedagógicas. Este artigo busca traçar uma reflexão a partir da análise de relatos de práticas docentes de pesquisadores cujas experiências foram baseadas nas mais recentes teorias sobre aprendizagem móvel. Para tanto, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico de publicações recentes (entre 2013 e 2019) que abordam conceitos-chave dos debates sobre aprendizagem móvel conforme propostos no programa de conteúdo de aulas do Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos Linguísticos da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (POSLIN/UFMG), no segundo semestre de 2020. Traçando um fio condutor que nos leva do operacional ao social, conclui-se que a aprendizagem móvel precisa ganhar mais atenção nos currículos de formação de professores, visando não somente ao reconhecimento das tecnologias e suas affordances mas, também, reflexões constantes sobre a postura do educador diante das novas tecnologias e das práticas (sociais) digitais por intermédio de dispositivos móveis.
