‘Gente Borgia’. Un nuevo ejemplo del mecenazgo de los Borja: Primeras inscripciones humanísticas en Valencia
Authors: Pons Alós Vicente 
Published: June 2019

Resumen: Escritura y heráldica se convierten en un lenguaje fundamental al servicio institucional y personal de los Borja, que desde Italia llegará también a su ciudad de origen y a sus señoríos. En Xàtiva y Gandía respectivamente se conservan las primeras inscripciones humanísticas que podemos ubicar en territorio valenciano. En ambos casos se trata de piezas vinculadas a la familia Borja y las dos se encuentran en el ámbito de las colegiatas de estas dos ciudades: en la capilla dedicada a Nuestra Señora de las Fiebres, advocación romana, cuya construcción mandó llevar a cabo en 1497 Francesc de Borja, tesorero pontificio, obispo de Teano, más tarde arzobispo de Cosenza y cardenal nombrado por Alejandro VI; y en el exterior de la colegiata de Santa María de Gandía, erigida en 1499 por Alejandro VI, a ambos lados de la puerta de los Apóstoles, construida bajo los auspicios de María Enríquez, viuda sucesivamente de Pere Lluís de Borja y Joan de Borja, hermanos, I y II duques de Gandía. La duquesa viuda reemprendió el proyecto inconcluso de la colegiata que quedará acabado, como señalan las inscripciones, en 1500, bajo su mecenazgo y el de su hijo Joan de Borja, III duque.

Abstract: Writing and heraldry become a fundamental language to the institutional and personal service of the Borjas. They did not only used in Italy but also in their city of origin and their manors. Both in Xàtiva and Gandía we find the first humanistic inscriptions located in Valencian territory In both cases they are pieces linked to the Borja family and the two are found in the collegiate area of these two cities: in the chapel dedicated to the Mare de Déu de les Febres, a Roman dedication, whose construction was ordered in 1497 by Francesc de Borja, pontifical treasurer, bishop of Teano, later archbishop of Cosenza and cardinal appointed by Alexander VI; and outside of the church of Santa María de Gandía, erected as collegiate in 1499 by Alejandro VI, on both sides of the door of the Apostles, built under the auspices of María Enríquez, widow successively of Pere Lluís de Borja and Joan de Borja, brothers, I and II Borja dukes of Gandía. The duchess widow resumed the unfinished project of the collegiate church that will be finished, as indicated by the inscriptions, in 1500, under his patronage and that of his son Joan, III Borja Duke.

La Inquisició de València contra Vicent Navarro (1750-1757), Diego Ramírez (1742) i Pedro Navarro (1588), tres casos de bestialisme
Authors: Mompó Navarro Jacob 
Published: June 2019

Resum: La sodomia i el bestialisme han estat considerats al llarg de l’edat mitjana i moderna com un dels màxims exponents del pecat de luxúria. El «crim nefand», entés com una ofensa directa a Déu, va ser perseguit per diversos corpus jurídics arreu de l’Europa cristiana, i els autors del «crim contra natura» sovint eren condemnats a la foguera. Tanmateix, pel que fa als processos que ací presentem, les penes amb què els acusats van porgar els seus crims van ser més benèvoles. Aquest és el cas de Vicent Navarro, que va commutar la pena capital per la de galeres; o Pedro Navarro, que va haver de patir el desterrament. Desconeixem la sentència de Diego Ramírez, per bé que, a més de bestialisme, va ser acusat també d’hermafroditisme i sodomia.

Paraules clau: bestialisme, sodomia, pecat nefand, crim contra natura, hermafroditisme

Abstract: Sodomy and bestiality have been considered throughout the Middle Ages and Modern Era as one of the greatest exponents of the sin of lust. The «ineffable crime», understood as a direct offense to God, was pursued by various judicial corpora throughout Christian Europe, and authors of the «crime against nature» were often condemned to the bonfire. However, regarding the processes we present here, the penalties the accused paid for their crimes became more benevolent than the death penalty. This is the case of Vicent Navarro, who exchanged capital punishment for galley penalty; or Pedro Navarro, who had to suffer from exile. We do not know the sentence of Diego Ramirez who, besides bestiality, was also accused of hermaphroditism and sodomy.

El projecte «terradebruixes» i els processos per bruixeria andorrans: entre la recerca històrica i la divulgació
Authors: Castell Granados Pau 
Published: June 2019

Resum: Les investigacions dutes a terme durant les últimes dècades han posat en relleu la singularitat i la rellevància de la documentació andorrana relativa al fenomen històric conegut com a «cacera de bruixes», tot destacant l’elevat nombre de processos per bruixeria conservats per als segles XV-XVII. Aquesta realitat documental ha motivat un projecte de recerca finançat pel Govern d’Andorra i basat en la recopilació i estudi del total de processos per bruixeria conservats al fons «Tribunal de Corts» de l’Arxiu Nacional d’Andorra. Els resultats d’aquest projecte han estat recollits en un espai web articulat al voltant d’un atles interactiu de les valls i d’una base de dades formada per desenes de fitxes individuals dotades d’un sistema d’etiquetes i enllaços, fet que converteix aquesta plataforma en una potent eina de recerca per als especialistes i, alhora, en una experiència innovadora de cara a la difusió i posada en valor de la recerca entre el gran públic.

Paraules clau: processos, bruixeria, Andorra, Humanitats Digitals

Abstract: The research carried out during the last decades has pointed up the relevance and uniqueness of the Andorran sources concerning the historical phenomenon of witch-hunts, by highlighting the large number of witchcraft trials preserved for the 15th-17th centuries. This archival reality has motivated the development of a research project financed by the Andorran Government and devoted to the collection and study of the totallity of witchcraft trials preserved in the series «Tribunal de Corts» of the Arxiu Nacional d’Andorra. The project’s results have been displayed in a web page containing an interactive atlas and a database composed of dozens of individual files enriched with a system of tags and hyperlinks. The platform therefore becomes a powerful tool for researchers as well as an innovative experience regarding the dissemination and valorisation of research among the general public.

Abstract
Critical thicknesses (t
c) of Ge-rich strained Si1-xGex layers grown on various Ge substrates are precisely determined experimentally, and t
c is revealed to strongly depend on the substrate conditions. We find that t
c of Si1-xGex on Ge-on-Si(111) is much lower than that on the Ge(111) substrate for x > 0.75 while, for x < 0.75, t
c becomes equivalent between both substrates, origins of which can be discussed in terms of dislocation nucleation and surface ridge formation. This study provides critical design parameters for strained SiGe(111) based devices, such as high-mobility channels and spintronic devices on a Si platform.

Authors: Mansoor Nushrath Roshana , Sanmugarajah Vinotha 
Published: June 2019

Background: Traditional Medicine is time-tested and still caters to the health needs of the society and provides health care through prophylactic treatment and rejuvenation. Today poisonous snake bites are life-threatening problems resulting in high morbidity and mortality all over the world including Sri Lanka. The medicinal plants available locally and used widely by traditional healers. Therefore they need attention in this aspect.
Aim: The primary aim of this study was to do a literature review on essential characteristics of medicinal plants which are being used for the management of snake bites in Traditional Medicine.
Place and Duration of the Study: Unit of Siddha Medicine, University of Jaffna from April to June 2018.
Methodology: Data for the literature review on 94 medicinal plants from 41 families were collected from relevant books and research articles. The characteristics of the medicinal species that were identified for the review were morphology; habitat; parts used; Siddha properties such as taste, potency and efficacy; pharmacological action; the number of plants used for dietary purposes; poisonous plants; phytochemical contents and mode of transmission.
Results: From the 94 medicinal plants, 9 (9.6%) of the species were found in Fabaceae and followed by 6 (6.38%) in Cucurbitaceae and Apocynaceae families. Based on the morphology 24 (25%) plants were herb and shrub; 42 (45%) were found in the natural habitat. From these plants, 31 species (26%) were used as root and 29 (24%) as leaves. These plants contain: Siddha properties such as bitter taste [52 (48.14%)]; hot potency [64 (70.32%)] and pungent efficacy [68 (72.34%)]. Pharmacological actions such as diuretic [36 (38.3%)]; tonic [35 (37.23)]; astringent [33 (35.1%)] and stimulant [32 (34.04%)]. Phytochemicals such as flavonoids 88 (93.61%) and saponin 81 (86.17%) were highly found in these medicinal plants. Fifty (53.19%) of these species were used as external and internal medication in the management of snake bites.
Conclusion: This literature review provides useful documented evidence on the management of snake bites in Traditional Medicine. However, there is a need for further extensive scientific studies to be carried out to justify its clinical potential in the management of snake bites.
Comparative Study on the Incidence of Aspergillus flavus in Farmer’s Field and Stored Maize (Zea mays) Seed in Northern Region of Ghana
Authors: Sowley Elias Nortaa Kunedeb , Kankam Frederick , Tawiah Edmond 
Published: June 2019

Aspergillus flavus is predominant among other fungi species responsible for aflatoxin contamination of crops on the field and in storage. A study was conducted to determine the incidence of Aspergillus flavus in maize seeds from various sources. Sixty (60) maize seed samples were collected from farmers and marketers from different storage structures within Tamale metropolis, Savelugu and Tolon districts,northern region of Ghana. Three different fungi species were isolated from the maize samples. These were Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Fusarium spp. Total fungi species differed significantly. Tamale metropolis recorded the least occurrence of fungi species. Aspergillus flavus recorded varied occurrences across all three districts with the highest incidence recorded in Savelugu (42%). Aspergillus flavus was found predominant in maize from the markets than maize from the farmers. The incidences of Aspergillus flavus varied with the method of storage. Storage using cocoa sack recorded the highest incidence (69%), with the lowest (13%) in hanging shed. Aspergillus flavus was however found to be associated with maize from all three districts studied. Proper drying and use of proper storage structures are recommended as a way of combating the high incidences of Aspergillus flavus.

Published: June 2019

This research was focused on the use of different concentration of aqueous extract of Moringa leaf and Turmeric rhizome as seed treatment agents against fungi associated with maize seeds. The study was designed using 2 x 3 factorial in completely randomised design. This research was carried out in Biology Laboratory of Federal College of Forestry, Jos from April to June 2018. Untreated maize seeds were collected from farmers in three different areas of Mazah village in Jos North LG. Maize seeds were tested for the presence of fungi by culturing on Petri dish having moist filter paper. Aqueous extract of Turmeric rhizome and Moringa leaf at 25, 50, and 75 ml concentration were used as seed treatment agent against fungi. The seeds were soaked in prepared extracts for 1 hour and then cultured on petri dish having moist filter paper, control samples were soaked in sterile water. Infested seeds were counted manually after twenty days. Results were analysed using one-way analysis of variance at 95% confidence level. Penicillium sp, Fusarium solani, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus were isolated from the untreated maize seed. Fusariumsolani gave the highest percentage occurrence of 35.48. 50 ml concentration of Turmeric rhizome has an antifungal mean value of 3.67 after 20days. The control (untreated) showed the antifungal mean value of 6.67 after 20 days. The results obtained revealed significance between the treatment and the control. The results indicate Turmeric rhizome and Moringa leaf extracts could be used in seed dressing against maize infection caused by fungi.

Objectives: Ginkgo biloba leaf extract (GBLE) and L-carnitine extract are a commercial product used as a nutraceutic herbal widely. They have antioxidant and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger. This study hypothesized that GB and L-carnitine may have protective effects against pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) induced oxidative damage in kidney in male albino rats.
Materials and Methods: A total of 80 male albino rats were equally divided into eight groups (G1, control; G2, GBLE; G3, L-carnitine; G4, Pentylenetetrazole; G5&G6, pre and post treated PTZ with L-carnitine groups respectively; G7&G8, pre and post treated PTZ with GBLE respectively). Results: Serum urea, creatinine, uric acid and cystatin c were significantly increased in PTZ group when compared with control. Also; kidney homogenate MDA and DNA fragmentation were increased when compared with control while, significant decrease in CAT, SOD, GST and TAC in PTZ when compared with control. On other hand pre and post-treatment with L-carnitine and GBLE improved these parameters.
Conclusions: The results revealed that; the treatment with L-carnitine improved these parameters more than GBLE and the results of post treatment were better than pre-treatment.

Published: June 2019

AbstractBreakthroughs in materials engineering have accelerated the progress of immunotherapy in preclinical studies. The interplay of chemistry and materials has resulted in improved loading, targeting, and release of immunomodulatory agents. An overview of the materials that are used to enable or improve the success of immunotherapies in preclinical studies is presented, from immunosuppressive to proinflammatory strategies, with particular emphasis on technologies poised for clinical translation. The materials are organized based on their characteristic length scale, whereby the enabling feature of each technology is organized by the structure of that material. For example, the mechanisms by which i) nanoscale materials can improve targeting and infiltration of immunomodulatory payloads into tissues and cells, ii) microscale materials can facilitate cell‐mediated transport and serve as artificial antigen‐presenting cells, and iii) macroscale materials can form the basis of artificial microenvironments to promote cell infiltration and reprogramming are discussed. As a step toward establishing a set of design rules for future immunotherapies, materials that intrinsically activate or suppress the immune system are reviewed. Finally, a brief outlook on the trajectory of these systems and how they may be improved to address unsolved challenges in cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmunity is presented.

Published: June 2019

AbstractUpconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with exceptional optical properties have emerged as a new paradigm for data encryption through multicolor coding, lifetime tuning, and excitation light phasing. However, in addition to low internal quantum efficiency, the utility of UCNPs for data encryption is largely hampered by the requirement of multiple sets of UCNPs of complex compositions with specifically tailored optical properties. Herein, it is found that metal–insulator–metal (MIM) configurations are capable of regulating upconversion emission of UCNPs through programmable geometry‐dependent plasmonic features of laser‐splashed submicron cavities. Furthermore, a ratiometric encryption strategy by regulating the ratio of dual‐band emission of a single set of UCNPs of fixed composition placed within the plasmonic MIM configuration is demonstrated. High‐throughput encryption and decryption through the luminescence ratiometric strategy can be achieved in a facile laser writing fashion with upscalability and sub‐micrometer‐scale precision. This demonstration opens a new route to luminescence modulation with large encoding capacity and underpins potential applications of UCNPs in multiplexed data storage and information encryption.

Published: June 2019

AbstractThe C−X (S/Se) bonds are common and ubiquitous in natural products and pharmaceuticals. Here, we report an iron‐catalyzed cross‐dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction for the direct synthesis of C(sp3)−X (S/Se) bonds from oxindoles, phenylacetamides, pyrazolones, phenylacetonitriles and ethyl cyanoacetate with thiols and selenols. All the reactions were performed under simple and mild conditions, and air (molecular oxygen) was employed as an ideal green oxidant, thus promising broad application in chemical industry and modification of bioactive molecules.magnified image
Glycosylated Copper Sulfide Nanocrystals for Targeted Photokilling of Bacteria in the Near‐Infrared II Window
Authors: Hou Shuai , Mahadevegowda Surendra H. , Mai Van Cuong , Chan‐Park Mary B. , Duan Hongwei 
Published: June 2019

AbstractPhotothermal and photodynamic therapies are established as alternative approaches to combating bacterial infections; however, the heat and reactive oxygen species generated by the photoagents act on both normal and bacterial cells. A targeting strategy is thus required to minimize side effects and enhance the antibacterial efficiency. Glycoconjugates specifically interacting with bacterial lectins have emerged as a new class of materials for targeting bacteria. In this paper, galactosylated plasmonic copper sulfide nanocrystals (Cu2−xS NCs) are used to target Pseudomonas aeruginosa via galactose–LecA interactions and kill the bacteria by simultaneous photothermal and photodynamic therapy. Galactosylated Cu2−xS NCs are obtained by functionalizing the nanocrystals with tri‐thiogalactoside glycoclusters. The excellent specificity of galactosylated nanoparticles toward LecA with a LecA‐deficient P. aeruginosa strain as the control is first demonstrated. Afterward, a laser in the near‐infrared II window is used to kill the bacteria, and the critical role of targeted binding in efficient killing of bacteria is highlighted. This approach can be readily generalized to the targeting of other pathogens which have highly specific carbohydrate‐binding lectins.
Structural Insight into Layer Gliding and Lattice Distortion in Layered Manganese Oxide Electrodes for Potassium‐Ion Batteries

Published: June 2019

AbstractPotassium‐ion batteries (PIBs) are an emerging, affordable, and environmentally friendly alternative to lithium‐ion batteries, with their further development driven by the need for suitably performing electrode materials capable of reversibly accommodating the relatively large K+. Layer‐structured manganese oxides are attractive as electrodes for PIBs, but suffer from structural instability and sluggish kinetics of K+ insertion/extraction, leading to poor rate capability. Herein, cobalt is successfully introduced at the manganese site in the KxMnO2 layered oxide electrode material and it is shown that with only 5% Co, the reversible capacity increases by 30% at 22 mA g‐1 and by 92% at 440 mA g‐1. In operando synchrotron X‐ray diffraction reveals that Co suppresses Jahn–Teller distortion, leading to more isotropic migration pathways for K+ in the interlayer, thus enhancing the ionic diffusion and consequently, rate capability. The detailed analysis reveals that additional phase transitions and larger volume change occur in the Co‐doped material as a result of layer gliding, with these associated with faster capacity decay, despite the overall capacity remaining higher than the pristine material, even after 500 cycles. These results assert the importance of understanding the detailed structural evolution that underpins performance that will inform the strategic design of electrode materials for high‐performance PIBs.
