Effect of adjacent structures on footing settlement for different multi-building arrangements
Authors: Chandrawanshi Shrish , Garg Vivek 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Rapid urbanization and land scarcity lead to the construction of multiple structures in proximity, supported on common soil media. This proximity increases soil stress, influencing the deformation characteristics of nearby footings. Hence, there is a need to investigate the effect of structure–soil–structure interaction (SSSI) on the footing settlement. In the present study, the effect of SSSI on the footing settlement of a three-storey building is investigated due to the presence of similar adjacent buildings arranged in various patterns (single adjacent building, side-by-side, L-shape, and inverted T-shape). The various interaction analyses are performed using finite element software ANSYS under gravity loading. The vertical and differential settlement of footings obtained from soil–structure interaction (SSI) and SSSI analyses are compared to evaluate the effect of SSSI under various adjacent building arrangements. The results indicate that in SSI case, inner footings show greater settlement compared to peripheral footings which causes high value of differential settlement between peripheral footings and those immediately adjacent to them. However, the presence of an adjacent structure in SSSI cases provides higher settlement in adjacent footings, which in turn reduces the differential settlement in these footings. Moreover, the SSSI effect on vertical settlement in SSSI (L-shaped) and SSSI (inverted T-shaped) is found to be more in corner footing located near to the adjacent buildings due to overlapping of soil stresses from two sides. The study quantifies the extent of settlement increase in various SSSI cases compared to SSI case, contributing valuable insights to mitigating potential settlement issues in densely developed areas.
Monotonicity, convexity, and Maclaurin series expansion of Qi's normalized remainder of Maclaurin series expansion with relation to cosine
Authors: Pei Wei-Juan , Guo Bai-Ni 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In this article, the authors introduce Qi’s normalized remainder of the Maclaurin series expansion of Qi’s normalized remainder for the cosine function. By virtue of a monotonicity rule for the quotient of two series and with the aid of an increasing monotonicity of a sequence involving the quotient of two consecutive non-zero Bernoulli numbers, they prove the logarithmic convexity of Qi’s normalized remainder. In view of a higher order derivative formula for the quotient of two functions, they expand the logarithm of Qi’s normalized remainder into a Maclaurin series whose coefficients are expressed in terms of determinants of a class of specific Hessenberg matrices. In light of a monotonicity rule for the quotient of two series, they present the monotonicity of the ratio between two normalized remainders. Finally, the authors connect two of their main results with the generalized hypergeometric functions.
Design of a novel complex 99mTc-Nilutamide as a tracer for prostate cancer disorder detection in mice
Authors: Sanad M.H. , Challan Safaa B. , Essam H.M. , Abdou Fatma Y. , Farag A.B. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Male prostate cancer (PCa) is considered among the most fatal illnesses. Despite the recent decrease in prostate cancer incidence attributed to advancements in early detection and therapy, these reductions have not effectively mitigated the elevated fatality rate linked to this disease. The drug Nilutamide was effectively radiolabeled with technetium-99m, producing a radiochemical yield of 96 ± 0.14 % under optimal conditions. In our study, two cohorts of mice were utilized, namely the control group and the group with prostate cancer. Various biochemical parameters, including PSA levels in serum, were assessed, revealing a significantly elevated value in the group with prostate cancer, indicating potential tumor development. Furthermore, the activities of antioxidant enzymes (CAT, SOD) were notably lower in the group with prostate cancer compared to the healthy control group, while the oxidative activity reflected by MDA levels, the final product of lipid peroxidation, was higher in the prostate cancer group than in the healthy control group. The biodistribution analysis showed rapid localization of 99mTc-Nilutamide in prostate cancer tissue after 2 h post-injection, with a substantial value of 11.4 ± 1.1 % I. D/g tissue. Consequently, it was deduced that radiolabeled 99mTc-Nilutamide can serve as an effective imaging tool for prostate cancer.

As disputas em torno da legislação do trabalho, no contexto da Segunda Guerra Mundial em Santa Maria (1943-1945)
Authors: Domingues dos Santos Souza da Silva Luiz Eduardo 
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo busca apresentar as disputas em torno na legislação trabalhista entre empregados e patrões, na cidade de Santa Maria, entre os anos de 1943 e 1945. O período não foi escolhido por acaso, uma vez que, desde 1942, o governo brasileiro do Estado Novo, decidira ingressar ativamente na Segunda Guerra Mundial, e embora o conflito propriamente dito, nunca tenha chegado às terras brasileiras, inúmeras consequências do ingresso do país do conflito seriam sentidas pelo conjunto da população, especialmente a classe trabalhadora, que se viu diante da “flexibilização” de muitas das garantias que havia conquistado há pouco tempo, e que estarão colocadas no centro das contendas no âmbito da Justiça do Trabalho.Palavras-chave: Justiça do Trabalho; Estado Novo; História do trabalho. AbstractThe present article aims to present the disputes around the labor legislation, between employees and employers, in the city of Santa Maria, between the years 1943 and 1945. The period was not chosen by chance. Since 1942, the Estado Novo (New State) government had decided to actively participate in the Second World War, and although the conflict itself never reached Brazilian lands, many consequences of the country's participation in the conflict would be felt by the population as a whole, especially the working class, which was faced with the "flexibilization" of many of the guarantees it had conquered a short time before.Keywords: Labor Justice; Estado Novo; Labor History.
Trejeitos de batuqueiros: agências africanas e afro-brasileiras nas crônicas de João do Rio
Authors: Campos da Silva Thiago 
Published: December 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é identificar se as crônicas de João do Rio fornecem pistas sobre as agências e práticas culturais da população negra na cidade do Rio de Janeiro durante a passagem do século XIX para o século XX. Como recorte analítico, delimito as crônicas presentes na série “As religiões no Rio”, publicada em 1904, transformando-as em fontes para a pesquisa histórica sobre grupos sociais subalternizados pelas relações de poder. Para isso, utilizo a micro-história como referencial metodológico, pois permite a aplicação de filtros que dão extensividade às crônicas, direcionando o olhar para casos particulares e, ao mesmo tempo, revelando as estruturas mais gerais da sociedade. Com isso, é possível investigar esses textos como registros das experiências da população negra na cidade, indicando as formas de territorialização de suas práticas culturais na produção do espaço social.Palavras-chave: agências; africanos e afro-brasileiros; João do Rio; Rio de Janeiro. AbstractThe objective of this article is to identify if the chronicles of João do Rio provide clues about the agencies and cultural practices of the black population in the city of Rio de Janeiro during the transition from the 19th to the 20th century. As an analytical excerpt, I delimit the chronicles present in the series “As religiões no Rio”, published in 1904, transforming them into sources for historical research on social groups subordinated by power relations. For that, I use micro-history as methodological reference, as it allows the application of filters that give extensiveness to these chronicles, directing the look to particular cases and, at the same time, revealing the more general structures of society. Thus, it is possible to investigate these texts as records of the experiences of the black population in the city, indicating the forms of territorialization of their cultural practices in the production of social space.Keywords: agencies; africans and afro-Brazilians; João do Rio; Rio de Janeiro.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo principal realizar, a partir do estudo de um caso de espancamento ocorrido em Catu em 1910, uma análise sobre as relações de gênero e as práticas de violência contra mulheres ocorridas no município nas primeiras décadas do pós-abolição e República na Bahia. A fonte eleita para realizar tal tarefa, o sumário de culpa, funciona, mesmo com a mediação e intervenção dos agentes jurídicos, como uma pequena fresta detentora de grande potencial para nos auxiliar no exercício de reflexão sobre as ações femininas e os diversos conflitos que permeavam suas existências, principalmente tratando-se de mulheres que pertenciam aos segmentos populares e que, desta maneira, em geral, não tiveram outras formas de preservar e registrar as suas ideias, sensações, dores e aspirações sobre suas vidas e relações com outros sujeitos. Palavras-chave: Mulheres negras; Violência; Pós-abolição; Bahia.AbstractThe main objective of this article is to carry out, based on the study of a beating case that took place in Catu in 1910, an analysis of the gender relations and practices of violence against women that occurred in the city in the first decades of the post-abolition and Republic in Bahia. The source chosen to carry out this task, the indictment, works, even with the mediation and intervention of legal agents, as a small gap with great potential to assist us in the exercise of reflection on women's actions and the various conflicts that permeated their existences. It works mainly in the case of women who belonged to the popular segments and who, in this way, generally, had no other ways to preserve and register their ideas, sensations, pains and aspirations about their lives and relationships with other subjects.Keywords: Black women; Violence; Post-abolition; Bahia.
Significados do conceito de liberdade para o advogado abolicionista Luiz Gama
Authors: Câmara Maria Eduarda 
Published: December 2024

Nesse artigo, baseando-se em uma historiografia que aborda os vários significados que o conceito de liberdade teve para a população negra no Brasil, durante o século XIX, tem-se como objetivo evidenciar alguns sentidos que tal conceito teve para Luiz Pinto da Gama. Vários historiadores como: Ricardo Salles, Hebe Mattos e Ana Flávia Magalhães Pinto, já nos mostraram que o conceito de liberdade tinha significações plurais para essa população, como será abordado sucintamente mais abaixo, e que a mesma não formava um grupo monolítico, que tinha sempre os mesmos ideais, aspirações e objetivos. Ao analisar partes da trajetória de vida de Gama, será evidenciada a amplitude que o conceito de liberdade foi adquirindo ao longo de sua vida, alcançando desde uma noção de liberdade individual, até o sentido de uma liberdade coletiva.Palavras chave: Luiz Gama; Liberdade; Escravizados. AbstractIn this article, based on a historiography that includes the various meanings of the concept of freedom for the black population in Brazil, during the nineteenth century, we aim to highlight some meanings of this concept for Luiz Pinto da Gama. Several historians, such as Ricardo Salles, Hebe Mattos and Ana Flávia Magalhães Pinto, have already shown us that the concept of freedom had plural meanings for this population, as will be briefly discussed below, and that it did not form a monolithic group, that always had the same ideals, aspirations, and goals. By analyzing parts of Gama's life path, we will show the amplitude that the concept of freedom acquired throughout his life, from a notion of individual freedom to a sense of collective freedom.Keywords: Luiz Gama; Freedom; Enslaved.
Corpos em condição de exclusão e/ou de reconhecimento: dialogando Nancy Fraser e Judith Butler
Authors: Silva Eduarda Borges da , Masi Guilherme Nicolini Pires 
Published: December 2024

Este artigo estabelece um diálogo teórico entre as filósofas Nancy Fraser e Judith Butler sobre corpos em condição de exclusão e/ou de reconhecimento. Fraser compreende o conceito de reconhecimento voltado à noção da moral, atribuindo-lhe uma condição de justiça, enquanto Judith Butler o desenvolve ligado à ética. Nesse diálogo, o reconhecimento é considerado necessário para superar a exclusão e não somente para valorizar as diferenças identitárias, pois, as identidades fixas, enquanto naturalização/universalização resultam em normatividade e exclusão social. Por fim, se evidenciou que essa mesma condição de exclusão é potencial para que o reconhecimento da interdependência e a transformação social se efetivem em um processo de responsabilização ética.Palavras-chave: corpos; exclusão; reconhecimento. AbstractThis article establishes a theoretical dialogue between philosophers Nancy Fraser and Judith Butler about bodies in an exclusion/acknowledgment condition. Fraser understands the concept of acknowledgment aimed at the notion of morality, giving it a condition of justice, while Judith Butler develops it linked to ethics. In this dialogue, acknowledgment is considered necessary to overcome exclusion not only to value identity differences, because they as fixed identities, as naturalization/universalization, result in normativity and social exclusion. Finally, it was shown that this same condition of exclusion can lead to the acknowledgment of interdependence and to the social transformation to take place in a process of ethical accountability.Keywords: bodies; exclusion; acknowledgment.
A construção de uma história Universal: da dialética hegeliana ao materialismo dialético de Marx
Authors: Gonçalves Silvane 
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo tem por objetivo trazer discussões que versão a obra hegeliana A razão na História, em específico, a razão na construção de uma história universal, em um primeiro momento. Em seguida, é apresentado como cada autor defende suas ideias e as projeta na sociedade e, por último, chegamos ao ponto de análise em que Karl Marx crítica a teoria hegeliana, o que culminará com o fim da “filosofia da História”, ou seja, com o fim do sentido da História. Embora Marx tenha incorporado o método hegeliano da dialética, ele mudou a sua função. Enquanto Hegel usou para demonstrar a manifestação do que ele chamou “espírito absoluto”, por outro lado, Marx utilizou com base nas relações de produção que permeiam a realidade. São estas divergências que busco analisar e expor aqui. Para tanto, faz-se indispensável a discriminação entre os conceitos e métodos escolhidos e defendidos por eles, bem como suas concepções de termos que são pertinentes ao campo da historiografia e da filosofia.Palavras-chave: Hegel; História Universal; Marx; Dialética; Materialismo AbstractThe present article has as general objective to bring discussions on the Hegelian work The reason in History, in particular the reason in the construction of a universal history, at first. Then, it is presented how each author defends their ideals and projects them onto society. Finally, we reach the point of analysis in which Karl Marx criticizes the Hegelian theory, which will culminate in the end of the “philosophy of history”, that is, with the end of the meaning of history. Although Marx incorporated the Hegelian method of dialectics, he changed its function. While Hegel used it to demonstrate the manifestation of what he called the “absolute spirit”, Marx used it based on the production relationships that permeate reality. It is these divergences that I seek to analyze and expose here. Therefore, it is essential to discriminate between the concepts and methods chosen and defended by them, as well as their conceptions of terms that are pertinent to the field of historiography and philosophy.Keywords: Hegel; Universal History; Marx; Dialectic; Materialism

ObjectivesInflammasomes are associated with various autoimmune diseases. Herein, we aimed to study the occurrence of inflammasomes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT), and the relationship between their abundance and the inflammatory response index of AIT. Furthermore, we examined the effect of iodine on inflammasomes containing NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) and inflammasome activation of helper T (Th) cell differentiation regulation in cultured PBMCs.MethodsWe collected PBMCs and serum samples from 50 patients with AIT with normal thyroid function and 50 controls matched for age and sex. In PBMCs, the mRNA and protein expressions of certain inflammasome constituents (e.g., NLRP1, NLRP3, absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) and caspase-1), interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 were assessed using qRT-PCR and western blotting. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) assessed the serum levels of IL-1β and IL-18. Flow cytometry was employed to examine NLRP3 expression on CD14+ monocytes and Th1 and Th17 cell percentages in the groups. AIT- or healthy control-derived PBMCs were stimulated using sodium iodide, with or without lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 72 h.ResultsPBMCs from patients with AIT had significantly higher levels of pro-IL-18, pro-IL-1β and NLRP3 than did the PBMCs from the healthy controls (P < 0.05). Compared with those from the controls, AIT-derived PBMCs had enhanced levels of active IL-18 and active caspase-1 p20 (P < 0.05), whereas their abundance of active IL-1β was similar (P > 0.05). In serum, the AIT group had enhanced levels of IL-18 compared with the healthy controls (P < 0.05) but had similar levels of IL-1β (P > 0.05). NLRP3 expression on CD14+ monocytes from AIT patients was significantly augmented compared with the healthy controls (P< 0.01). Significantly increased percentages of Th1 and Th17 cells were detected in AIT patients compared with those in the healthy participants (P < 0.001). Sodium iodide treatment upregulated NLRP3 expression in PBMCs during 72 h of culture (P < 0.001). The percentage of Th1 and Th17 cells in AIT patients increased in an iodine-dependent manner (P < 0.01). Iodine had no significant effect on the number of these cells in the healthy control group (P > 0.05).ConclusionAIT-derived PBMC NLRP3 activity and expression increased. Iodine might regulate the immune and inflammatory response of patients with AIT by activating NLRP3 and promoting Th1 and Th17 cell differentiation.

Emociones y pensamiento crítico en la era digital: un estudio con alumnado de formación inicial
Authors: Castellví Mata Jordi , Sabater Mariona Massip , I Blanch Joan Pagès 
Published: December 2024

Studies on critical literacy are starting to get its way in social studies education research in Spain. Authors like Tosar & Santisteban (2016), and Ortega & Pagès (2017) agree on the importance of the approach of critical literacy to critical thinking education. It is also relevant to social studies didactics area, because it continues the research on social studies education based on Questions Socialement Vives (Legardez y Simmoneaux, 2006) and controversial issues, that have already been widely studied. In this context, the project “Enseñar y aprender a interpretar problemas y conflictos contemporáneos ¿Qué aportan las ciencias sociales a la formación de una ciudadanía global crítica?”, faces the impact of the emotion factor, that could condition critical thinking in certain situations, and it is especially relevant in the digital age with the rise of fake news. This brings us the question: How do emotions affect trainee teachers when it comes to use critical thinking when they read information on the Internet? The sample used are trainee teachers (n=326) from several Spanish universities: University Jaume I from Castellón, Florida Universitaria from Valencia, University of Jaén, University of Málaga and Autonomous University of Barcelona. The results reveal that the online information that puts in tension the values of the students unleash emotional responses that suspend rational thought and critical thinking.
