Authors: Lucas Franck , Sanjivy Kanhan 
Published: October 2024

By drawing seawater from great depths (over 900 m), sea water air conditioning (SWAC) systems directly cool buildings without the need for supplementary backup systems, ensuring precise indoor temperature regulation. With a coefficient of performance values ranging from 25 to 150, depending on the distribution loop’s length, this technology presents remarkable energy efficiencies. When applicable, it serves as a credible alternative to compression vapor cycle air conditioning. This chapter offers a comprehensive overview of SWAC technology, evaluating energy performances through the analysis of operational data collected from installations in operation for several years. The assessment includes a comparative analysis between SWAC and conventional air conditioning systems. Additionally, potential avenues for enhancing the technology are explored, emphasizing associated energy benefits, and discussing prospects for its widespread adoption globally. An additional paragraph will present the state of the art in research on this technology.

DIREITO REAL DE USO COMO INSTRUMENTO DE DEFESA DA PROPRIEDADE EM FACE DE USUCAPIÃO
Authors: Vargas Torrelio Jorge Eduardo , Jacob Alexandre 
Published: October 2024

Inicialmente, procurou-se averiguar no Código Civil brasileiro as razões jurídicas que impossibilitam o uso do direito real como instrumento de utilização preventivo da usucapião no cotidiano social, contendo a pretensão de estimular sua utilização para esse fim. O beneficiamento de prover o titular da competência sobre bem imóvel de instrumento o qual se concebe apto, em termos jurídicos, prevenir contra os atos de terceiros que pretendem lograr a propriedade alheia, pensando-se ser mais coerente com o princípio da função social da propriedade, quando é expressado tal prática, esta pode conciliar, consequentemente, os interesses privados, quanto sociais, cita-se como exemplo, a instituição deste direito real seja efetivada em favor de terceiros carecente de amparo governamental, aponta-se como exemplo, os moradores de rua, a população de baixa renda e dos também os desempregados, que não possuem qualificação para o trabalho formal. O presente artigo objetiva discutir sobre o direito real de uso visto como um instrumento de defesa da propriedade em face da usucapião. Para tanto, optou-se por método dialético-dedutivo, que se pauta em discussões doutrinárias divergentes sobre o tema proposto, a exemplo dos aspectos consentâneos aos conceitos e efeitos jurídicos. Os resultados atestaram que o direito real de uso constitui como um instrumento eficaz para a prevenção de a propriedade imobiliária ser usucapida, principalmente se o proprietário apresentar a carência de recursos financeiros; não tenha a capacidade de edificar sobre o terreno, mediante a carência de recursos de origem financeira, ou devido à distância do seu próprio domicilio e onde ele não consegue administrar ou monitorar a sua propriedade, por estes motivos a propriedade pode ser usucapida. Apesar do proprietário não poder estar sempre no imóvel, conseguiria tanto permanecer como seu titular, quanto o imóvel sendo protegido pelo Estado e resguardado um usuário de boa-fé de ter sua propriedade, atingindo ambos os interesses e atendendo as exigências fundamentais no que diz a respeito da função social da propriedade privada.

Rabies is an acute infection disease of the central nervous sytem caused by a zoonotic virus which spreads through direct contact with wounds or mucosa with the saliva or scratches of infected animals. This type of research is analytical survey research with a cross sectional design (Cross-sectional Study). The sample for this study was 82 namely Mr/Mrs. Who kept dogs and those who did not keep dogs, who where willing to be respondents and fill out the questionnaire. The technique used is probability sampling with the type of sampling, namely simple random sampling. The data analysis used was univariate analysis and bivariate analysis, using the chi-square test. The results of the Chi-Square Test show that there is significant relationship between community knowledge and rabies prevention measures with a P-Value = 0,018 ≤ a (0,05%), there is no significant relationship between community attitudes and rabies prevention actions with the P-Value = 0.293 ≥ a (0.05%), thus it is hoped that health parties can provide education about rabies and vaccinate pets so they can avoid the rabies virus.

In 1927, philosopher Serge Danelia published an article of criticism “Vazha-Pshavela and Georgian Nation,” in which he discussed the poet Vazha-Pshavela’s conception and representation of nature. Among the topics discussed in this article, Danelia’s interpretation of the poem “Snake Eater” is of particular interest to us. To answer a question of why the snake poison did not work on the protagonist Mindia as soon as he ate snake meat, he offers the explaination that the meat was boiled and so the effect of poison was slowed down. This interpretation, of course, strikes us as excessively realistic. Where did this attitude come from? How much does Danelia’s account reflect the tendency of social realism of that time?
Danelia thought that Vazha-Pshavela represented nature as an endless circle, as opposed to the historical process, which moves in the direction of progress. Further, for Vazha, nature is not to be measured by the good and evil of the events that occur in nature, but by its beauty. In Vazha’s understanding, this beauty is woven into the fabric of nature itself and exists independent of human judgment. This conception of a transcendentally beautiful, ahistorical nature, Danelia claims, belongs to an Eastern, paganistic worldview, which he poses as an anthithesis to the Western, Christian conception of “history.” This criticism can be explained by dialectical materialism.
According to the scholar, Vazha’s representation of nature in “The Snake Eater” is fundamentally realist. The only reality that exists for the poet is indepentent nature. However, he criticizes, the poem also mixes a folktale into the realistic framework. Therefore, two different motifs, paganism and Christianity, are mixed in the work, which he regards as illogical; this destroys the any consistency in the poem’s plot line or framework. According to this argument, he rejected the poem and regarded it as a “weak” work. This is an inadequate and unsuccessful reading, even giving credit to the value of his dialectical materialist analysis of Vazha’s conception of nature.
Danelia’s criticism shows a forced application of the conventions of realism to “The Snake Eater”  supposedly, as demanded by the period  and, from this point of view, ignores or denies the magical element in the poem. However, today the concept of materialism again attracts our attention under the name of “new mate­rialism.” While his evaluation of the poem is flawed, a part of Danelia’s ar­gu­ment, in which he criticised the critic K’it’a Abashidze’s understanding of Vazha-Pshavela as a symbolist poet, is convincing and invites more careful discussion.

Diante de grandes movimentos migratórios vivenciados pelo Brasil nos últimos tempos, os quais são gerados por conflitos políticos, crises econômicas, desastres naturais ou guerras, surgem iniciativas científicas que busquem mitigar a questão linguística subjacente a estes movimentos migratórios, inclusive e sobretudo no Amazonas. Frente à referida problemática, este projeto busca aprofundar a investigação das perspectivas teóricas que informam o exame de proficiência Celpe Bras, sobretudo as concepções de leitura e produção de textos escritos e orais, desdobrando esta investigação na elaboração de metodologia do ensino de Português Língua Adicional (PLA). A relevância do projeto deve-se à escassez de pesquisa acerca do exame Celpe-Bras no âmbito da Faculdade de Letras - FLET da Universidade Federal do Amazonas, em que pese a demanda enorme colocada por migrantes de crise na cidade de Manaus e municípios do entorno, sobretudo por haitianos e venezuelanos, que buscam a proficiência da língua portuguesa para diferentes processos de inclusão social, de mercado de trabalho. Acrescente-se a isso que a Faculdade de Letras, apesar de funcionar como polo aplicador de provas do exame Celpe-Bras, não oferta disciplinas na área de Português Língua Adicional.
Genetic polymorphism of IL-40 in male patients with ankylosing spondylitis
Authors: Murad Rehab , Abed Reema Mohamed 
Published: October 2024

Background: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a kind of arthritis marked by persistent inflammation in the spine's joints, usually at the point where the spine and pelvis meet. Such a disease has different causes, including immunological causes. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the role of the immune system in this disease to improve a potential treatment strategy. In this context, the present study examined the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the IL-40 gene of IL-40 in a group of Iraqi males with AS to determine their associations in AS pathogenesis. Method: The study included a total of 200 Iraqi male participants (100 with AS and 100 healthy subjects). The detection of SNPs of IL-40 was performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques followed by the Sanger sequencing method. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the SNPs under five genetic models (allele, recessive, dominant, and co-dominant). Results: Detected that the heterozygous genotype (GA and AA) and alleles (G and A) of rs72896265, the heterozygous genotype (AG and GG) and alleles (A and G) of rs60316778 and both heterozygous genotype (CC) and alleles (C and T) of rs9915090 were significantly associated with AS risk (p < 0.001).

Mutation breeding is a simple and effective technique for generating genetic variation within crops. Mutagens such as Gamma radiation induce changes in their DNA that could lead to the development of new traits, such as improved yield or disease resistance. In the present study, Gamma ray mutagenesis was performed on three traditional rice varieties (Gudma dhan, Dawar dhan, and Lohandi dhan) to identify potentially beneficial mutants with desirable agro-morphological agricultural characteristics. The major constraints to address were their tall statures and weak culms, fewer panicles and tillers, and late maturity. Using a fixed dose of 300 Gy, 35 mutants were identified in Dawar dhan, 33 in Gudma dhan, and 21 in Lohandi dhan. The selected mutants showed an average reduction in plant height that ranged from 42.69% to 33.11%, as compared to their respective landraces. Also, a substantial reduction (ranging from 3.08%-10.55%) in days to 50% flowering was observed. Importantly, these mutants showed an increase in yield of 38.11% (Dawar dhan), 32.63% (Gudma dhan), and 7.0% (Lohandi dhan). These findings demonstrate the utility of mutation breeding through Gamma radiation in alleviating the key constraints inherent to traditional rice landraces.

AbstractMagnesium/calcium paleothermometry is an established tool for reconstructing past surface and deep‐sea temperatures. However, our understanding of nonthermal environmental controls on the uptake of Mg into the calcitic lattice of foraminiferal tests remains limited. Here we present a combined analysis of multiple trace element/calcium ratios and stable isotope (δ18O and δ13C) geochemistry on the subpolar planktonic foraminifera Neogloboquadrina incompta to assess the validity of Mg/Ca as a proxy for surface ocean temperature. We identify small size‐specific offsets in Mg/Ca and δ18Oc values for N. incompta that are consistent with depth habitat migration patterns throughout the life cycle of this species. Additionally, an assessment of nonthermal controls on Mg/Ca values reveals that (1) the presence of volcanic ash, (2) the addition of high‐Mg abiotic overgrowths, and (3) ambient seawater carbonate chemistry can have a significant impact on the Mg/Ca‐to‐temperature relationship. For carbonate‐ion concentrations of values > 200 μmol kg−1, we find that temperature exerts the dominant control on Mg/Ca values, while at values < 200 μmol kg−1 the carbonate‐ion concentration of seawater increases the uptake of Mg, thereby resulting in higher‐than‐expected Mg/Ca values at low temperatures. We propose two independent correction schemes to remove the effects of volcanic ash and carbonate‐ion concentration on Mg/Ca values in N. incompta within the calibration data set. Applying the corrections improves the fidelity of past ocean temperature reconstructions.
Sedimentary Mercury Enrichments as a Marker for Submarine Large Igneous Province Volcanism? Evidence From the Mid‐Cenomanian Event and Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (Late Cretaceous)

AbstractOceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE 2), during the Cenomanian‐Turonian transition (∼94 Ma), was the largest perturbation of the global carbon cycle in the mid‐Cretaceous and can be recognized by a positive carbon‐isotope excursion in sedimentary strata. Although OAE 2 has been linked to large‐scale volcanism, several large igneous provinces (LIPs) were active at this time (e.g., Caribbean, High Arctic, Madagascan, Ontong‐Java) and little clear evidence links OAE 2 to a specific LIP. The Mid‐Cenomanian Event (MCE, ∼96 Ma), identified by a small, 1‰ positive carbon‐isotope excursion, is often referred to as a prelude to OAE 2. However, no underlying cause has yet been demonstrated and its relationship to OAE 2 is poorly constrained. Here we report sedimentary mercury (Hg) concentration data from four sites, three from the southern margin of the Western Interior Seaway and one from Demerara Rise, in the equatorial proto‐North Atlantic Ocean. We find that, in both areas, increases in mercury concentrations and Hg/TOC ratios coincide with the MCE and the OAE 2. However, the increases found in these sites are of a lower magnitude than those found in records of many other Mesozoic events, possibly characteristic of a marine rather than atmospheric dispersal of mercury for both events. Combined, the new mercury data presented here are consistent with an initial magmatic pulse at the time of the MCE, with a second, greater pulse at the onset of OAE 2, possibly related to the emplacement of LIPs in the Pacific Ocean and/or the High Arctic.

AbstractWe used infrared data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment to globally map thermophysical properties of the Moon's regolith fines layer. Thermal conductivity varies from 7.4 × 10−4 W m−1 K−1 at the surface to 3.4 × 10−3 W m−1 K−1 at depths of ~1 m, given density values of 1,100 kg m−3 at the surface to 1,800 kg m−3 at 1 m depth. On average, the scale height of these profiles is ~7 cm, corresponding to a thermal inertia of 55 ± 2 J m−2 K−1 s−1/2 at 273 K, relevant to the diurnally active near‐surface layer, ~4–7 cm. The temperature dependence of thermal conductivity and heat capacity leads to an ~2 times diurnal variation in thermal inertia at the equator. On global scales, the regolith fines are remarkably uniform, implying rapid homogenization by impact gardening of this layer on timescales <1 Gyr. Regional‐ and local‐scale variations show prominent impact features <1 Gyr old, including higher thermal inertia (> 100 J m−2 K−1 s−1/2) in the interiors and ejecta of Copernican‐aged impact craters and lower thermal inertia (< 50 J m−2 K−1 s−1/2) within the lunar cold spots identified by Bandfield et al. (2014). Observed trends in ejecta thermal inertia provide a potential tool for age dating craters of previously unknown age, complementary to the approach suggested by Ghent et al. (2014). Several anomalous regions are identified in the global 128 pixels per degree maps presented here, including a high‐thermal inertia deposit near the antipode of Tycho crater.
