Abstract

Objectives
Increased fetal lung heterogeneity has been associated with term fetal lungs in singleton gestations. The objective of this study was to determine if fetal lung heterogeneity index (HI) differs between twin and singleton fetuses in the late second and third trimesters.

Methods
Prospective cohort study of women with singleton and twin gestations with medically-indicated ultrasound examinations at 24 weeks of gestation onward. Grayscale transverse fetal lung images were obtained at the level of the four-chamber heart. A region of interest was selected in each fetal lung image. Fetal lung HI was determined with MATLAB software using a dithering technique with ultrasound image pixels transformed into a binary map form from which a dynamic range value was determined. HI averages and standard deviations were generated for twin and singleton fetuses from 24 weeks gestation onward. Two sample t-tests were used to compare the mean HI at each gestational week between singleton and twin fetuses.

Results
In total, 388 singleton and 478 twin images were analyzed. From 35 through 38 weeks of gestation a statistically significant divergence in mean HI was observed with higher means in singleton compared to twin fetuses. At 24 weeks of gestation there was a significantly higher HI in twin fetuses compared to singletons. No differences in fetal lung HI were observed between 25 and 34 weeks gestational age.

Conclusions
Differences in fetal lung HI were observed when comparing twin and singleton fetuses. Further investigation is required to determine the potential clinical significance of these findings.
Comparison of individual playing styles in football
Authors: Guan Tianyu , Sarkar Sumit , Swartz Tim B. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This paper attempts to identify football players who have a similar style to a player of interest. Playing style is not adequately quantified with traditional statistics, and therefore style statistics are created using tracking data. Tracking data allow us to monitor players throughout a match, and therefore include both “on-the-ball” and “off-the-ball” observations. Having developed style features, tractable discrepancy measures are introduced that are based on Kullback–Leibler divergence in the context of multivariate normal distributions. Examples are provided where a pool of players from the Chinese Super League are identified as having a playing style that is similar to players of interest.

Authors: Kumar Sudhir , Singh Inderjeet , Ali Alamry , Bharti Shalok , Koloor Seyed Saeid Rahimian , Siebert Geralt 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
In the last few decades, tremendous effort is given to the production of various polymers and polymeric composites components through innovative polymer processing techniques. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) of polymers as a printing technique in additive manufacturing has been explored extensively due to its cost-effectiveness, manufacturing capabilities, flexibility in material selection, and dimensional accuracy. A few reviews of the literature have been done to investigate various applications for polymers, but none have focused on the research on commercial and in-house generated polymers and polymeric composites, particularly those made using the FDM printing technology. Consequently, the study data on the internal development of polymer and polymeric composite filament-based FDM printing is gathered and processed in this work. The work also highlights various types of polymeric composites and recycled polymeric composites with their detailed material characteristics. In addition, various applications of FDM printing of polymeric composites at the industrial scale and domestic level usage are highlighted as the potential to reduce carbon emission through the effective recycling process.
A critical review on scale-up strategies of biosurfactant production and its applications
Authors: Rizvi Huria , Ashish  
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Eco-friendly, biodegradable, microbially produced surfactants, known as biosurfactants, have been intensively studied for their ability as potential substitutes for their synthetic counterparts. Currently, the commercialization of biosurfactants compared to synthetic (chemical) surfactants remains an economic challenge due to high production costs and lower yields. This review details the challenges and better strategies for industrial scale-up of biosurfactant production and downstream processing techniques. An analysis of the use of low cost, renewable substrates, parameter optimization, strain improvement, bioreactor engineering is discussed. The role of various engineering factors that help in scale-up of biosurfactant production such as drag coefficient, Reynolds number, Enrichment ratio, Eӧtvӧs number have also been considered in this review article. The review article demonstrates the potential activity of integrated separation processes and applications of biosurfactants, bringing biosurfactants into mainstream commercialization.

Background: Due to the low efficacy of PD-L1 antibodies in second and subsequent lines of metastatic gastric cancer (mGC), the optimal treatment strategy of such patients and appropriate choice of predictive biomarkers remain challenging. The aim of our study is to assess the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors monotherapy in patients with mGC in routine clinical practice, especially in heavily-pretreated patients. Materials and methods: We retrospectively analyzed data of patients treated in five oncology centers in Moscow between 2018 and 2023, who received nivolumab or pembrolizumab for advanced gastric cancer. Primary end-point of our study was 6-months PFS. Secondary end-points were overall survival (OS), objective respons e rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR). Toxicity was assessed using CTC AE v5.0 scale. Results: 122 patients with mGC who received immune checkpoint inhibitors were included between 1 January 2018 and 28 February 2023. 6-months PFS rate was 31,6 %. The median OS was 7 months (95 % CI: 2–20), the median PFS was 3 months (95 % CI: 1,5–9,5). A statistically significant difference in OS was detected in patients with MSI compared to MSS (25 months vs 6 months; 95 % CI: 0,21–0,86; HR: 0,43). A trend towards higher PFS was observed as well (10 months in MSI vs 3 months in MSS; 95 % CI:0,26–1,01; HR: 0,51). No statistical significance in PFS and OS according to PD-L1 CPS was found among patients with MSS. ORR and DCR were 36,6 % and 10,6 %, respectively. No cases of pseudoprogression or fatal immune-related AEs were observed. Conclusion: Our real-world data is consistent with published literature and the results from clinical trials. Further studies are needed to determine prognostic factors and to establish prognostic model of patients receiving ICIs for optimal treatment strategy of mGC.
Role of defective mirror neurons in causing autism spectrum disorder and the effectiveness of current treatment strategies for autism
Authors: Javed Eman , Masood Fareeha , Elahi Naz 
Published: May 2024

The presence of mirror neurons (MN) in the premotor cortex, and parietal regions of the brain, has always been an area of interest to neurophysiologists, because unlike most neurons, they are activated, not only while an individual is performing an action, but also when one witnesses another experiencing a sentiment, and hence, is compelled to do the same. This phenomenon, helps develop empathy, as well as an individual's social behavior. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is defined as a socially isolating disease, and has been hypothesised to be caused by defective MNs. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 1 out of every 100 children suffer from ASD. Although many studies have proven that the impaired MN system is the underlying cause of the cognitive function defects seen in these individuals, the exact role it plays in causing the disease is still unclear.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: Cognitive disorders affect the elderly’s personal and social life by causing disturbances in their nervous system, and it is important to identify who is at the highest risk of these disorders; therefore, the present study aims to investigate demographic determinants of the cognitive status in the elderly visiting the Geriatric Cohort Center in Neyshabur.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 3451 people aged 60 and above (52.5% women and 47.5% men) from 2015 to the end of 2017. The selection of statistical sample was done first by classification method, and then, by random method. Data collection was done using demographic questionnaires, and the questionnaires of Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA), and data were analyzed using independent t-test, ANOVA, and hierarchical multiple regression in software. were analyzed by SPSS16 software.
Results: With MMSE, one fifth of the participants (20/3%) and with MOCA, almost half of the respondents (49/3%) did not have cognitive disorder. Cognitive disorder became more severe with aging. The severity of cognitive disorder was higher in women (P< 0/05) those who were living alone(P <0/05), the women who only did housework(P < 0/05), and the cases who were illiterate (P< 0/05).
Conclusion: Screening of cognitive disorders in the elderly and early interventions including holding educational classes, especially for women with low literacy levels whose husbands have died, can prevent the progression of the disorder and improve their quality of life.

Introduction: The present research was conducted with the aim of explaining the views of teenagers-the adults and their parents regarding the prevention of drug addiction based on the mixed elements of the marketing model (audience needs, access to services, cost, and communication).
Methods: This research was conducted based on a qualitative research method using an exploratory method. 14 teenagers-adults and 10 parents, 24 participants were selected through targeted sampling, from the marginal neighborhoods of Yazd in 2019; the neighborhoods included Maryam Abad, Hassan Abad, and Skan. In total, 2 semi-structured in-depth interviews with parents and 3 focused group discussions were conducted with the presence of teenagers and young people in the neighborhood. In this study, the information, including demographic characteristics, and the results of market analysis were obtained with elements of Communication for Behavioral Impact (COMBI) social marketing model; they were investigated using focus group discussions (FGD) and semi-structured face-to-face interviews. Data were analyzed based on the content analysis method.
Results: The qualitative study resulted in 63 codes, 26 subcategories, 4 categories, product, location, cost, and promotion according to the COMBI model structures. Product category or behavioral characteristics, having peace of mind, and seeking independence were mentioned by both groups of parents and the youth as the factors of addiction tendency. But, regarding the cost of addiction, while teenagers and the young people considered the social side effects of drug use, such as losing friends, more important, parents were more concerned about the physical side effects of drugs. Location or environmental and social conditions were important for both groups of parents and the youth.
Conclusion: The results showed that although both groups of teenagers-the youth and their parents pointed to the social, environmental, and individual factors of addiction, their intended examples were different in many areas. Parents considered the most important factor in the tendency to drugs addiction to be the structure of the audience's need, having peace of mind, compensating for the sense of deficiencies and the need for independence, and the youth suggested the use of virtual space and creating motivation and awareness campaign to prevent addiction as a suitable method. Perceived costs according to the young people were loss of friends, feeling of rejection, loss of self-confidence, and negative view of others towards addiction. One of the reasons for the tendency towards addiction was mentioned by the young people as the location and easy access to drugs, and the parents said that the suitable place for the tendency towards addiction was having a risky and inappropriate family.

ANDRÉS BELLO Y LA CUESTÍÓN DEL VOSEO EN EL CHILE DEL SIGLO XIX
Authors: Barros Luizete Guimarães 
Published: May 2024

Ese trabajo pretende discutir el papel de Andrés Bello en la cuestión del voseo en Chile en el siglo XIX. Para tanto, buscamos identificar las manifestaciones sobre el voseo en sus obras: Gramática de la lengua castellana destinada al uso de los americanos (1847), Compendio de gramática castellana (1851) y Advertencias sobre el uso de la lengua castellana, dirigida a los padres de familia, profesores de los colegios y ministros de escuela (1834). Destacamos también los lingüistas que atribuyen a Bello el fin del voseo en Chile por conferir a sus libros y a su oficio de educador la difusión de una política lingüística capaz de cercear tendencias de una costumbre oral y escrita. Alatorre (1979) afirma que el Chile decimonónico era tan voseante como lo es la Argentina actual. Considerar el voseo como un fenómeno lingüístico único, así como defender un modelo único de lengua parece ser la visión que ha prevalecido en ciertas áreas de los estudios gramaticales castellanos a través de los siglos, siendo, incluso, la posición defendida por la escuela. Ese no es el punto de vista del abordaje sociolingüístico que, al no priorizar la lengua de las élites dominantes, considera legítimo toda manera de decir de una comunidad de habla, sea cual sea su nivel económico. De esa forma, la pedagogía de la escuela del siglo XXI debe oír a sus alumnos en la espontaneidad de su habla, con el objetivo de entenderlos y respetarlos, de acuerdo con una educación democrática y solidaria.
POESIA A QUATRO MÃOS: DUAS JANELAS DE ANA MARTINS MARQUES & MARCOS SISCAR
Authors: BARBOSA RODRIGO GARCIA 
Published: May 2024

O trabalho busca identificar e analisar alguns dos elementos característicos do livro duas janelas, publicação conjunta dos poetas Ana Martins Marques e Marcos Siscar, considerando a “experiência de escrita” que os autores procuram registrar na obra, observando aspectos como a relação com a palavra alheia, a condições dos sujeitos poéticos, a volubilidade dos poemas submetidos ao trânsito imposto pela concepção do livro. O trabalho também busca situar duas janelas no contexto da poesia brasileira contemporânea, a partir de questões como a “crise da poesia”, elaborada por Siscar, a impessoalidade da linguagem e a inaptabilidade ao tempo. Para tanto, ele se apoia em leituras de Georges Didi-Huberman, Giorgio Agamben e Roland Barthes, entre outros.
O CONCEITO DE PONTUAÇÃO PELA PERSPECTIVA DE DOCENTES DOS ANOS INICIAIS
Authors: Silva Anderson  Silva Cristiano da , Sousa Raimunda Francisca de 
Published: May 2024

Esta investigação problematiza a concepção que alguns professores da rede pública dos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental possuem a respeito do conceito de pontuação, bem como as peculiaridades no ensino desse conteúdo. Para engendrar nossas reflexões, recorremos aos construtos teóricos delineados pela Análise Dialógica do Discurso, tendo como base o conceito de enunciado concreto. Em termos metodológicos, dividimos o trabalho em dois momentos, no primeiro, dada a heterogeneidade sobre conceito de pontuação, procuramos apresentar essa faceta por meio de diversas publicações; no segundo momento, fizemos uma entrevista com seis docentes de uma escola pública do interior paulista, na qual as docentes responderam a duas perguntas abertas relacionadas com os sinais de pontuação. Em nossas considerações finais, podemos perceber nas respostas que algumas docentes não entenderam exatamente os enunciados, pois deveriam responder com base em suas experiências pedagógicas. Elas desviaram do assunto, responsabilizando os alunos e deixando claro um discurso de culpabilização, em que uma das perguntas versava a respeito das dificuldades e facilidades no ensino da pontuação e não as consequências da não aprendizagem da pontuação pelos educandos.
FAKE NEWS NAS REDES SOCIAIS: EFEITOS DE SENTIDO DO BOATO NO CIBERESPAÇO
Authors: Lacerda Gustavo Haiden , Dias Di Raimo Luciana Cristina Ferreira 
Published: May 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir e analisar as fake news enquanto prática discursiva digital, o que nos trouxe o desafio de pensar discursivamente sobre a ilusão de um sujeito-autor de fake news que busca produzir e fazer circular um efeito-verdade de uma notícia e se coloca como fonte e origem de um dizer. Para tanto, buscamos na Análise do discurso pecheuxtiana o embasamento para abordar a linguagem na sua relação contraditória com a história e a ideologia, particularmente aproximando e deslocando os conceitos de boato e memória, por meio de análises acerca dos processos de formulação e circulação das fake news pelo aparato digital. No/pelo movimento de análise acerca de uma notícia falsa a respeito de um suposto beneficiamento financeiro que a cantora Pabllo Vittar estaria recebendo da Lei Rouanet, observamos que os sentidos das fake news são produzidos a partir de uma tentativa de falseamento de posição no discurso, em que o sujeito “finge” se inscrever em uma formação discursiva com a qual não se identifica. Assim, compreendemos que o sentido da veracidade de um fato se desaloja e a falha irrompe tanto na produção de um efeito-texto (incompleto e lacunar) quanto nos pontos onde as palavras/imagens, na imbricação verbal e visual, faltam e abrem brechas para a produção do equívoco.
