Signatures of Strong Vibronic Coupling Mediating Coherent Charge Transfer in Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy
Authors: De Sio Antonietta , Nguyen Xuan Trung , Lienau Christoph 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The role of molecular vibrations for the persistence of quantum coherences, recently observed in photoinduced charge transfer reactions in both biological and artificial energy conversion systems at room temperature, is currently being intensely discussed. Experiments using two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) suggest that vibrational motion – and its coupling to electronic degrees of freedom – may play a key role for such coherent dynamics and potentially even for device function. In organic photovoltaics materials, strong coupling of electronic and vibrational motion is predicted, especially for ubiquitous C=C stretching vibrations. The signatures of such strong vibronic couplings in 2DES are, however, debated. Here we analyse the effect of strong vibronic coupling in model simulations of 2DES spectra and dynamics for an electronic dimer coupled to a single high-frequency vibrational mode. This system represents the simplest conceivable model for a prototypical donor–acceptor interface in the active layer of organic solar cells. The vibrational mode is chosen to mimic C=C stretching vibrations with typical large vibronic couplings predicted in organic photovoltaics materials. Our results show that the decisive signatures of strong vibronic coupling mediating coherent charge transfer between donor and acceptor are not only temporally oscillating cross-peaks, but also most importantly characteristic peak splittings in the 2DES spectra. The 2DES pattern thus directly reflects the new eigenstates of the system that are formed by strong mixing of electronic states and vibrational mode.

Abstract
Southern Leaf Blight, Northern Leaf Blight, and Gray Leaf Spot, caused by ascomycete fungi, are among the most important foliar diseases of maize worldwide. Previously, disease resistance quantitative trait loci (QTL) for all three diseases were identified in a connected set of chromosome segment substitution line (CSSL) populations designed for the identification of disease resistance QTL. Some QTL for different diseases co-localized, indicating the presence of multiple disease resistance (MDR) QTL. The goal of this study was to perform an independent test of several of the MDR QTL identified to confirm their existence and derive a more precise estimate of allele additive and dominance effects. Twelve F2:3 family populations were produced, in which selected QTL were segregating in an otherwise uniform genetic background. The populations were assessed for each of the three diseases in replicated trials and genotyped with markers previously associated with disease resistance. Pairwise phenotypic correlations across all the populations for resistance to the three diseases ranged from 0.2 to 0.3 and were all significant at the alpha level of 0.01. Of the 44 QTL tested, 16 were validated (identified at the same genomic location for the same disease or diseases) and several novel QTL/disease associations were found. Two MDR QTL were associated with resistance to all three diseases. This study identifies several potentially important MDR QTL and demonstrates the importance of independently evaluating QTL effects following their initial identification.

Published: July 2019

The production 18F-FDG for positron emission tomography (PET) has consistently increased over the past two decades. The risk of internal contamination at 18F-FDG production facilities exists. A setup for evaluation of the 18F-FDG activity incorporated into the OEW brain, called Head Counting System (HCS), was presented in previous works. In this study, the whole body counter setup (WBC) was evaluated for monitoring 18F incorporations. The Monte Carlo Virtual Software (VMC in-vivo) and the MCNPx code were used to assess the system calibration coefficient (CC). Three 18F distributions were simulated: i) uniformly distributed in soft tissue (UDST); ii) Na18F biodistribution (NAFB); and iii) 18F-FDG biodistribution (FDGB). The calibration coefficient of WBC was compared to the current head counting system CC under the same biodistribution conditions. The ICRP male reference voxelized phantoms (RCP_AM) was used in the simulations. The results showed that the WBC setup was more efficient than the head counter for all the studied 18F distributions: UDST = 1060 %, FDGB = 488 % and NAFB = 340 %. Despite this, especially for 18F-FDG, the possibility of bladder voiding before measurement can lead to considerable uncertainties when the WBC setup is used. On the other hand, bladder activity does not show great influence the calibration coefficient of the head counting system. Future work will evaluate the WBC sources of uncertainties in the measurement of 18F incorporated activity.

Introduction: We have previously demonstrated that sequentially extracted methanolic fractions of Boerhaavia diffusa (Linn.) showed marked antioxidant, antidiabetic and oxidative-DNA damage protective properties in vitro. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the beneficial effects of B.diffusa (Linn.) methanolic root extract and its partially purified bioactive fraction on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia in rats.
Methods: The diabetic rats were treated for fourteen weeks either with methanolic extract of B. diffusa root (D-MT1, D-MT2, and D-MT3 : doses of 50, 150, and 300 mg/rat/day, respectively), partially isolated bioactive fraction (DBT: 0.5 mg/rat/day), or glibenclamide (D-GT: 0.5 mg/rat/day).
Results: The level of fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were significantly alleviated in D-MT- and D-BT treated groups after fourteen weeks of administration. Moreover, plasma lipid profile, free fatty acids (FFAs), phospholipids (PLs), HMG-CoA reductase (HMG-R) activity, conjugated diene (CD), lipid hydroperoxide (LOOH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were also markedly ameliorate d in all treatment groups. In addition, the activity of antioxidant enzymes, e.g., superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (Gred), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST), were also significantly restored by D-MT — and D-BT — treated groups. Furthermore, histologically, all the unseemly features of nephropathy were extensively regressed and normalized by the administration of B. diffusa and its bioactive fraction.
Conclusions: Our results demonstrate a strong antidiabetic and hypolipidemic impact of B. diffusa extract an ideal alternative therapeutic agent in the prevention and treatment of diabetes as well as diabetes-linked hyperlipidemia.
Szemfenéki arteria centralis retinae érelzáródás miatt kialakult hirtelen látásromlás spontán restitúciója cilioretinalis artéria jelenlétében

Abstract: Retinal arterial occlusion causes acute, painless vision loss, and it requires immediate emergency care. There are two separate arterial systems (retinal and ciliary) in the retina, and in most cases only the central retinal artery and its branches supply blood to the inner retinal layers. Cilioretinal artery is an anatomical variant, which can also supply blood to the macula from the ciliary arterial system, and in the case of a retinal arterial occlusion, the cilioretinal artery could save central vision. We report a case of a 67-year-old woman who suffered a central retinal arterial occlusion while having a patent cilioretinal artery and she had a complete recovery of her central visual acuity. A series of fundus photography and optical coherence tomography images are presented that were taken during follow-up. The patient’s complaints started one week before she presented in our department therefore acute therapy was not given. However, during the course of the follow-up her status gradually improved, and she finally regained 1,0 (20/20) visual acuity. In the presence of a cilioretinal artery following a central retinal arterial occlusion, there is a chance of visual acuity preservation. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(29): 1146–1152.

Abstract: In the last decades, the results of liver transplantation have shown significant improvement. More patients are eligible for liver transplantation, while the indications are changing. The worldwide shortage of donor organs urges the profession for the development of new strategies. With rational extension of donor criteria, more precise organ allocation, personalized donation, living related donation, machine perfusion, and donation after cardiac death, liver transplantation is becoming available for more and more patients suffering from end stage liver disease. Hereby we summarize the new possibilities and challenges in the light of the Hungarian liver transplant program. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(29): 1127–1135.

The etiology of sarcoidosis is not completely understood. A hypothesis exists about the relationship between sarcoidosis and a complex of pathological autoimmune reactions that occur under the influence of triggering factors. In this study, specific immune complexes in the blood plasma of patients have been determined, which can indirectly reveal the causes of the disease.The study included 33 patients with lung sarcoidosis (I group), compared to 24 healthy donors who served as a control group (II group). The patients underwent standard examination. Their blood plasma was investigated by the dynamic light scattering method with addition of tuberculosis antigens (ESAT-6/SFP-10) and “lung healthy tissue extract”. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistica 7.0 program. Test results were considered significant at p < 0.05.Аccording to the data obtained, addition of ESAT-6/SFP-10 to patient’s blood plasma almost did not lead to the formation of immune complexes in most samples. Meanwhile, development of such complexes after addition of “lung tissue extract” was revealed in all the patients. The immune complexes were not detected in any donor from control group after stimulation with both kinds of antigens (p < 0.01).The data on distinct formation of immune complexes with the addition of “lung healthy tissue extract” in patients with lung sarcoidosis may be considered an indirect evidence for occurrence of autoimmune reaction under the influence of some pathogenic factors. Absence of de novo immune complex formation after addition of tuberculosis antigens (ESAT-6/SFP-10) makes it unlikely any direct effects of tuberculosis bacteria upon development of sarcoidosis.
O PROCESSO DE MONSTRIFICAÇÃO COMO METÁFORA DO MAL NOS MITOS DE METAMORFOSE
Authors: ALMEIDA Natasha De Queiroz , SIMÕES Maria do Perpétuo Socorro Galvão 
Published: July 2019

As mitologias registram narrativas regidas pelo tema da metamorfose. Entretanto, as metamorfoses analisadas dentre narrativas do imaginário grego clássico e as narrativas do imaginário amazônico paraense expõem punições, restrições, bem como questões morais, geralmente resultantes de malefícios e transtornos sofridos pelos sujeitos que passam pelo processo físico da metamorfose. O objetivo deste estudo é estabelecer, numa abordagem comparativa, as relações entre a metamorfose do episódio da Antiguidade Clássica registrado no canto X, da Odisseia (VIEIRA, 2011) e a narrativa de metamorfose relatada no bairro do Jurunas (1994), a partir da figura do monstro, enquanto agente causador/sofredor do mal. Será realizado um levantamento bibliográfico sobre o caso de metamorfose como símbolo do mal na Odisseia, cuja tradução é de Trajano Vieira (2011) e sobre o caso de metamorfoses relatadas em narrativas orais de Belém, catalogadas e salvaguardadas no acervo IFNOPAP, em 1994 (O imaginário das formas narrativas orais da Amazônia paraense). A análise comparada versou sobre: Como o mal é representado na figura do monstro? Como os casos de metamorfoses apontam para questões de cunho sociomoralizante? Que motivações gerem cada um dos processos metamórficos? Os metamorfoseados ou monstros representam que tipo de homem? Observou-se que em ambos os episódios, as metamorfoses apresentaram questões de fundo moralizante e algum efeito nocivo ao agente metamorfoseado, sendo estas consequências derivações do mal causado, mal este entendido aqui como o sofrimento sentido pelo sujeito metamorfoseado por sua condição de abjeto, de objeto ou de privado de expressão. Além disso, por serem desdobramentos míticos, nos casos analisados jazem parâmetros de afinidades e de concorrência que: 1) mostramo quanto as narrativas de caráter mítico podem se reatualizar incessantemente pela palavra; 2) ilustram bem como as sociedades estão ordenadas e regidas por forças hierárquicas, quer sejam representadas por uma ordem natural humana, quer seja via uma ordem sobrenatural; 3) aproximam os homens de culturas diversas pelos interesses, comportamentos, buscas e receios. Assim, o estudo dos mitos de metamorfoses elucida bem a relação homem-mundo-sociedade, principalmente porque aponta para o ‘momento de trânsito em que nos encontramos em que espaço e tempo se cruzam para produzir figuras complexas de diferença e identidade, passado e presente, interior e exterior, inclusão e exclusão’ (BHABHA, 1998).
O SÍSIFO DA FLORESTA NOS BRAÇOS DO MAPINGUARI: DIÁLOGOS ENTRE EUCLIDES DA CUNHA E FLORENTINA ESTEVES

Published: July 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo fazer um estudo comparativo entre o texto “Mapinguari”, de Florentina Esteves e “Um clima caluniado”, de Euclides da Cunha, a fim de identificar os possíveis pontos de confluências discursivas. Este estudo está baseado em levantamento bibliográfico, utilizando-se dos postulados da Literatura Comparada e do conceito de dialogismo de Bakhtin. É possível observar a presença da figura do seringueiro nos textos analisados, verificando-se assim, que tanto no texto de Florentina Esteves, quanto no de Euclides da Cunha, embora remotos no tempo, tomam o mesmo espaço como pano de fundo de suas narrativas: a floresta, que se mostra gigantesca, “engolindo” o homem, “carregando-o” nos braços, revelando sua pequenez diante da “prisão celular”

Published: July 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo desvelar os sentidos produzidos pela escrita literária expandida de Eneida de Moraes, no texto Companheiras, cujo contexto histórico – a efervescência do Estado Novo, revela pela formação discursiva utilizada pela escritora identidades ameaçadas pelas inscrições políticas culturais capturadas das experiências das presas, na cela 4, da Casa de Detenção – Pavilhão dos primários. Lugar de retalhos de vida, de jogos de memória; tecido literário transformado em narrativa documental, visto que a seleção cuidadosa da linguagem constrói percepções das identidades feridas, já que ameaçadas por serem mulheres, bem como por serem filiadas ao Partido Comunista Brasileiro. Pelas transgressões de todas as ordens vivenciadas pela individualidade de cada uma e conferindo consciência de grupo, teremos a visibilidade de que a cela/o cárcere assume funções antitéticas: espaço das representações da tortura, de corpos seviciados, como ainda representação de intercâmbio de saberes, de um projeto compartilhado. A referência metodológica utilizada foi amparada pela revisão bibliográfica de escritos sobre identidades, constituição de 1937 e outros documentos.

Published: July 2019

Este artigo discorre sobre a figuração da Amazônia no romance Mad Maria, de Márcio Souza. Verificam-se no romance, os avanços e recuos, em confronto com uma tradição, no retrato da Amazônia brasileira, além disso, investigam-se as técnicas de elaboração literária da obra. Importa-nos averiguar, em Mad Maria, a continuidade da quebra de paradigmas na configuração da Amazônia representada por Galvez, imperador do Acre, naquele contexto dos anos 70, bem como para assinalar Márcio Souza como um diferencial na literatura brasileira. Pois, diferente de outras narrativas que repetem o assunto e o estilo daquelas pautadas na economia local, principalmente a da borracha, soando até anacrônicas, Mad Maria ressignifica o assunto por meio de recursos como o humor, opondo-se as narrativas advindas da tradição literária que se estabeleceu a partir de À margem da História, de Euclides da Cunha. A base teórica utilizada para consolidar este artigo pode ser encontrada nos trabalhos de João Carlos de Carvalho - Amazônia revisitada: de Carvajal a Márcio Souza (2011) – de Allison Leão - Amazonas: natureza e ficção (2013)- e de Márcio Souza - A expressão amazonense: do colonialismo ao neocolonialismo (1977), entre outros.
CUIR: EXPOSIÇÃO INDEPENDENTE
Authors: Sampaio Pedro , Moura Simone De Oliveira 
Published: July 2019

“CUIR” é uma proposição; uma exposição transviada realizada no Espaço Casulo Cultural durante maio de 2017, originada do desejo de ação genuína de reconfigurar imagens e possibilitar novos olhares sobre a arte que estava sendo feita em Belém por jovens artistas paraenses, o presente texto apresenta reflexões curatoriais e de ações políticas no campo das artes como possibilidade para discussões relacionadas a gênero e sexualidade. Os trabalhos artísticos apresentados confrontam as estruturas identitárias normativas, e se localizam nesse existir - resistir - que está na fronteira, ou para além dela. Diferente de programas multiculturais bem intencionados, onde as diferenças tanto sexuais, de gênero e raciais são toleradas ou apreciadas como meras curiosidades exóticas, a exposição CUIR estaria inserida muito mais em um processo de apresentação das diferenças como evidência da instabilidade e precariedade das identidades instituídas. Colocando para debate as formas como o outro é constituído, se é questionado as estreitas relações do eu com o outro. “A diferença deixaria de estar lá fora, do outro lado, alheia ao sujeito, e seria compreendida como indispensável para a existência do próprio sujeito: ela estaria dentro, integrando e constituindo o eu” (Louro, 2001. p.550). Ao se falar de uma educação cuir ligada a arte não seria suficiente denunciar a negação e repressão para os que operam fora da norma regente, e sim desconstruir o processo pelo qual alguns sujeitos se tornam normalizados e outros marginalizados. Sendo possível ser utilizada como uma maneira de entender o próprio corpo, construções e afirmações identitárias e suas relações e expressões sociais.Partindo de um relato de experiência do período de maio de 2017 este artigo é uma reconfiguração do artigo defendido para a Graduação em Artes Visuais e Tecnologia da Imagem da UNAMA - Universidade da Amazônia.

Published: July 2019

Diagnosis of neuromuscular diseases is complicated by the variety of clinical manifestations and requires the use of additional methods, an important place among which is the pathomorphological study of skeletal muscle biopsy. Despite the fact that the procedure for taking a muscle biopsy is not technically difficult, to obtain informative material a multitude of conditions must be observed at the stages of pre-analytical processing of the obtained tissue samples. Violation of the technology of taking, storing and fixing the material contributes to the formation of artifacts that limit the possibilities for further analysis of the morphological changes in tissue biopsy. A comparison was made of the effectiveness of various methods for cryoprocessing of muscle tissue samples and the manufacture of histological specimens with a subsequent assessment of morphological changes. As a result, the main causes of artifacts were identified. The optimal method for processing muscle biopsy specimens is indicated, which makes it possible to prevent the appearance of artifacts as much as possible and to ensure the preservation of tissue for research.
