Authors: Oliver-González Ana Belén 
Published: July 2024

Objetivo: estudiar cómo actúan las ONG y demostrar las influencias lobbying que ejercen estos grupos de presión sobre el medioambiente y a favor de la inmigración producida por el cambio climático.
Metodología: Cualitativa, a través de la observación directa sobre el complejo mundo del lobby, permitiendo profundizar en las influencias que ejercen los grupos de presión y de interés para concienciar a la ciudadanía sobre las consecuencias que está provocando el cambio climático a nivel global, en especial, en aquellas poblaciones más vulnerables a estos notables cambios.
Resultados: Nos enfrentamos a una grave crisis energética global, especialmente en Europa, a raíz de la invasión rusa de Ucrania, la explosión demográfica de los países subdesarrollados, el hambre y el cambio climático que afecta a la disponibilidad de los recursos naturales, fenómenos meteorológicos extremos que están desplazando a millones de personas de sus hogares. Estas migraciones climáticas tienen un fuerte impacto en la seguridad alimentaria, en la salud y la economía de los lugares de origen como en los lugares de acogida. Las Organizaciones No Gubernamentales (ONG) entienden la importancia de abordar las causas del cambio climático y trabajar para minimizar impacto en las personas, especialmente en las desplazadas medioambientales. Las conclusiones corroboran la hipótesis planteada de que las ONG ejercen un fuerte lobby a través de campañas mediáticas para concienciar, presionar e influenciar, tanto en la sociedad civil como en los tomadores de decisiones.
Limitaciones: Tratar de seleccionar entre la amplia bibliografía existente, aquella que tratase de manera específica la noción del lobby aplicado a las ONG, ya que la literatura sobre el tema es amplia, pero son estudios de conjunto que salvan sin profundizar, el objeto de este estudio

Comparing and characterizing scapular muscle activation ratios in males and females during execution of common functional movements
Authors: Lang Angelica E. , Chorneyko Annaka , Heinrichs Vivian 
Published: July 2024

Background
The shoulder complex relies on scapular movement controlled by periscapular muscles for optimal arm function. However, minimal research has explored scapular muscle activation ratios during functional tasks, nor how they might be influenced by biological sex. This investigation aims to characterize how sex impacts scapular muscle activation ratios during functional tasks.

Methods
Twenty participants (ten females, ten males) were assessed with surface electromyography (EMG) and motion tracking during seven functional tasks. Activation ratios were calculated from normalized EMG for the three trapezius muscles and serratus anterior. Scapular angles were calculated using a YXZ Euler sequence. Two-way mixed methods ANOVAs (p < .05) were used to assess the effects of sex and humeral elevation level on ratios and angles.

Results
Sex-based differences were present in the Tie Apron task, with males exhibiting higher upper trapezius/lower trapezius and upper trapezius/middle trapezius ratios than females. Males also demonstrated decreased internal rotation in this task. Other tasks showcased significant sex-based differences in scapular upward rotation but not in activation ratios. Humeral elevation generally demonstrated an inverse relationship with scapular muscle activation ratios.

Conclusions
This study highlights sex-based differences in scapular muscle activation ratios during specific functional tasks, emphasizing the need to consider sex in analyses of shoulder movements. Normative activation ratios for functional tasks were provided, offering a foundation for future comparisons with non-normative groups. Further research is warranted to confirm and explore additional influencing factors, advancing our understanding of shoulder activation and movement in diverse populations.

Em determinados contextos e sob regulamentações, a flexibilização controlada dos afastamentos pode ser uma ferramenta eficaz para legalizar habitações. No entanto, a manutenção das áreas de preservação permanente ao longo dos corpos d'água naturais contribuem com a preservação da qualidade da água, na conservação da biodiversidade e na mitigação de riscos de desastres naturais. Portanto, este estudo aplica metodologia que avalia a função ambiental dos corpos d’água urbanos e oferece uma visão equilibrada sobre a flexibilização dos afastamentos, para conciliar o desenvolvimento urbano com a conservação ambiental, visando o benefício tanto das comunidades urbanas quanto dos ecossistemas naturais. Em uma microbacia hidrográfica no município de Joinville, foi aplicada a metodologia instituída pela Lei Complementar n° 601/2022 de Joinville/SC como uma estratégia para promover a regularização fundiária em áreas urbanas situadas em Áreas de Preservação Permanente (APP). A pesquisa utilizou como metodologia o levantamento de dados geomorfológicos detalhados e a realização de simulações de matrizes de impactos ambientais. Conforme os resultados obtidos durante as simulações da matriz de impacto ambiental, observou-se que alguns aspectos ambientais não se encontram presentes em determinados trechos de corpos d’água naturais inseridos no ambiente urbano, que culminaram na conclusão da perda das funções ambientais, onde poderiam ser legalizadas as ocupações informais. Por outro lado, em outros trechos da microbacia foi determinada a manutenção das áreas de preservação permanente ao redor de corpos d'água, entendida como crucial para proteger a qualidade da água, conservar a biodiversidade e reduzir o risco de eventos naturais.
Well Based Elastic Attribute Analysis for Reservoir Characterization in Ek-field Niger Delta
Authors: N.O Ekone , T Dagogo, 
Published: July 2024

Derived elastic attributes has been used to discriminate rock and fluid properties in EK Field using well logs data. These derived rock attributes were analyzed in cross-plot space for target reservoirs. The log analysis for delineated reservoir B20 shows an average volume of shale (7.5%), total porosity (33.9%) and water saturation (29.3%). Cross-plots of elastic rock attributes (Vp/Vs, Lambda-Rho (λρ), Mu-Rho (μρ), Poisson ratio and acoustic impedance) were used as fluid and lithology indicators and in reservoir characterization. The cross plots results shows distinct separation of hydrocarbon sand, brine sand and shale. Low Poisson’s ratio (0.2-0.26), Lambda-Rho (7 GPa*g/cc -10 GPa*g/cc), Vp/Vs (1.6-1.8), low acoustic impedance and high Mu-Rho values indicate hydrocarbon sands. The intermediate values of Poisson’s ratio (0.2-0.26), Lambda-Rho (17 GPa*g/cc - 21GPa*g/cc) , Vp/Vs ratio (2.05-2.3), relatively high acoustic impedance and Mu-rho indicated brine sand while high Poisson’s ratio (0.35-0.41), Lambda-rho (24 GPa*g/cc -27 GPa*g/cc), Vp/Vs ratio (2.3-2.5), high acoustic impedance and low Mu-Rho indicated shale. The cross-plot models all show similar result of hydrocarbon sand characterized by high porosity, low water saturation and volume of shale. The well based elastic attribute analyses established useful relationships between elastic derived seismic attributes and reservoir properties in delineating lithology and reservoir fluid for better understanding of reservoirs in the Niger Delta field.
Characterization of P1 (Adenosine) Purinoceptors
Authors: Jarvis Michael F. 
Published: October 2013

AbstractThe purine nucleoside adenosine (ADO) is an important modulator of cellular function in mammalian tissues, modulating cellular function and neuronal excitability via interactions with different cell surface receptor subtypes that are heterogeneously distributed in both the mammalian CNS and peripheral tissues. Four ADO receptor subtypes have been cloned and characterized. Described in this unit are three radioligand binding assays for pharmacological characterization of the high‐affinity ADO receptor subtypes A1, A2A, and A3 receptors. Pharmacological characterization of the low‐affinity A2B receptor has been enabled by the use of tritiated xanthine PSB‐603. Because receptor localization is an important criterion for differentiation of receptor subtypes, a support protocol that describes the methodology for the localization of ADO receptors in rat brain tissue using autoradiography is also included.

AbstractWe investigate the physics of laboratory earthquake precursors in a biaxial shear configuration. We conduct laboratory experiments at room temperature and humidity in which we shear layers of glass beads under applied normal loads of 2–8 MPa and with shearing rates of 5–10 µm/s. We show that above ~ 3 MPa load, acoustic emission (AE), and shear microfailure (microslip) precursors exhibit an exponential increase in rate of occurrence, culminating in stick‐slip failure. Precursors take place where the material is in a critical state—still modestly dilating, yet while the macroscopic frictional strength is no longer increasing.

Published: October 2013

ABSTRACTHigh‐throughput short‐hairpin RNA (shRNA) lentivirus screening is a powerful tool for identifying multiple functional regulators in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). shRNA libraries can efficiently down‐regulate target genes persistently with high efficiency. The concurrent measurement of relative cell number by alamarBlue (AB) assay and undifferentiated ESC markers via an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay in the same cell culture well provides an efficient and economical way to pinpoint factors crucial for ESC pluripotency and/or expansion. Most of the renewal pathways affect ALP activity. Thus, multiple positive and negative regulators can be identified by this method. In addition, morphological changes and/or the expression levels of specific pluripotency or differentiation markers examined by immunofluorescence can be used as secondary screens for target‐gene selection. In summary, we describe an efficient way to identify multiple regulators of ESC renewal using shRNAs. Curr. Protoc. Stem Cell Biol. 26:5C.3.1‐5C.3.19. © 2013 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Joint subcarrier and power allocation in downlink OFDMA systems: an multi‐objective approach
Authors: Sharma N. , Anpalagan A. 
Published: October 2013

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we present a new technique for resource allocation in multi‐user orthogonal frequency division multiple access systems. The goal is to maximise the minimum data rate available to any user while minimising the total transmitted power. In order to achieve an optimal solution and capacity bounds, the subcarrier and power should be allocated simultaneously. Multi‐objective genetic algorithm can be used for joint allocation of subcarriers and power in such a case, and in this paper, it is achieved using non‐dominated sorting genetic algorithm‐II. The simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm achieves high data rates as compared with previous algorithms. The algorithm allocates both subcarriers and bits jointly without being computationally expensive. The faster convergence of the algorithm to near optimal value, as compared with previous algorithms, is indicative of its less complexity. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AbstractThis mini‐review covers the systematic survey of our previous research on chromium‐ and manganesecontaining chalcogenide clusters in terms of synthetic strategies, reactivities, and special properties. In addition, mixed chromium‐manganese carbonyl chalcogenide clusters were also synthesized rationally via several facile routes, which resulted in the generation of a series of mixed‐metal clusters possessing expanded frameworks with enhanced electrochemical and magnetic properties.
Hemagglutinin and neuraminidase genes of influenza B viruses circulating in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia during 2010–2011: Evolution and sequence analysis
Authors: Ali Ghazanfar , Amer Haitham M. , Almajhdi Fahad N. 
Published: October 2013

ABSTRACTInfluenza viruses are known as continuing threats to human public health every year worldwide. Evolutionary dynamics of influenza B viruses in humans are in a unique progression having two lineages; B/Yam and B/Vic‐like viruses, which are circulating simultaneously worldwide. There is a considerable lack of data on influenza B viruses circulating in Saudi Arabia. During the winter‐spring season of 2010–2011, 80 nasopharyngeal aspirates were collected from hospitalized patients with flu‐like symptoms in Riyadh. Screening of samples by one‐step RT‐PCR identified three (3.8%) influenza B viruses. Sequencing of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes was performed to analyze influenza B viruses circulating in Riyadh as compared to the globally circulating strains. Several common and six unique amino acid substitutions were observed for both HA and NA genes of influenza B Saudi strains. Three unique substitutions (T182A, D196N, and K254R) were identified in HA gene of the B/Yam‐like Riyadh strains. In NA gene, a unique common substitution (D53G) was found in all Riyadh strains, while two unique substitutions (L38P, G233R) were recognized only in B/Vic‐like Riyadh strains. Riyadh strains were also found to contain N‐glycosylation site in HA gene of both B/Vic and B/Yam lineages at positions 197–199 (NET) and 196–198 (NNK/DNK), respectively. The significance of these mutations on the antigenicity of both lineages is discussed herein. The unique changes observed in HA and NA genes of influenza B Riyadh strains support strongly the need for continuous surveillance and monitoring of new evolving strains that might pose threat to the Saudi community.

Movement disorders in women: A review
Authors: Rabin Marcie L. , Stevens‐Haas Claire , Havrilla Emilyrose , Devi Tanvi , Kurlan Roger 
Published: October 2013

ABSTRACTThe field of women's health developed based on the recognition that there are important sex‐based differences regarding several aspects of medical illnesses. We performed a literature review to obtain information about differences between women and men for neurological movement disorders. We identified important differences in prevalence, genetics, clinical expression, course, and treatment responses. In addition, we found that female life events, including menstruation, pregnancy, breast feeding, menopause, and medications prescribed to women (such as oral contraceptives and hormone‐replacement therapy), have significant implications for women with movement disorders. Understanding this biological sex‐specific information can help improve the quality and individualization of care for women with movement disorders and may provide insights into neurobiological mechanisms. © 2013 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society
Snapshots of the Formation of NaTi3O6(OH)·2H2O Nanowires: A Time‐Resolved XRD/HRTEM Study

Published: October 2013

AbstractLayered titanates are important intermediates during the formation of TiO2‐related nanostructures in hot concentrated base solution. Microwave‐assisted hydrothermal techniques allow a time‐resolved ex‐situ analysis of the reaction in one‐minute intervals by rapid heating and quenching followed by separation and structure analysis of the intermediates. By a combination of powder X‐ray diffraction, high resolution electron microscopy (HRTEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) the individual stages of the reaction could be identified. Sodium titanate nanosheets are formed within several minutes by digesting the crystalline TiO2‐P25 precursor in NaOH. These nanosheets with a low sodium content form flake‐like aggregates. Subsequently, these nanosheet intermediates form nanoscrolls and/or nanotubes, which transform in the next step to NaTi3O6(OH)·2H2O nanowires by reaction with NaOH via an oriented attachment of nanotubes from solution. The NaTi3O6(OH)·2H2O nanowires grow at the expense of the nanotubes and form an ordered structure via dissolution‐recrystallization equilibria between solid NaTi3O6(OH)·2H2O and soluble titanate species.
A description of two new species of Ligophorus Euzet & Suriano, (Monogenea: Ancyrocephalidae) from Malaysian mugilid fish using principal component analysis and numerical taxonomy
Authors: Soo O.Y.M. , Lim L.H.S. 
Published: October 2013

AbstractLigophorus belanaki n. sp. and Ligophorus kederai n. sp. are described from Liza subviridis Valenciennes, 1836 and Valamugil buchanani Bleeker, 1854, respectively. Ligophorus kederai n. sp. has fenestrated ventral anchors, while in L. belanaki n. sp. the ventral anchor is not fenestrated. Ligophorus belanaki n. sp. is similar to L. careyensis, one of its coexisting congeners, in the overall shape and size of hard parts, but differs in having a flat median piece in the structure of the AMP (antero-median protuberance of the ventral bar), copulatory organ with non-ornamented initial part and longer vaginal tube, compared to raised median piece in the AMP, ornamented initial part and comparatively shorter vaginal tube in L. careyensis. Ligophorus kederai n. sp. is similar to L. fenestrum, a coexisting congener, in having fenestrated ventral anchors, but differs in having longer points and narrower base. Ligophorus fenestrum, unlike L. kederai n. sp., also possesses fenestrated dorsal anchors. The principal component analysis (PCA) scatterplots indicate that the two new and eight known Ligophorus species from Malaysian mugilids can be differentiated based on the morphometries of their anchors, ventral bars and copulatory organ separately and when combined together. Numerical taxonomy (NT) analyses based on Jaccard's Index of Similarity and neighbour-joining clustering, is used to facilitate comparison of these two new species with the 50 known Ligophorus based on morphological and metric characters. The two new species are different from each other and the other 50 species in the overall shapes and sizes of hard parts, as indicated by the NT analyses.
