Authors: Norberto Araujo Danielly , Moraes Toledo Olga , Andrade Borba Ana Tereza 
Published: December 2023

O número de Veículos Elétricos (VEs) tem crescido significativamente nos últimos anos, sendo os setores de transportes e de energia diretamente impactados. Em relação aos sistemas elétricos, os VEs são integrados às redes elétricas para recarga e devem estar associados a sistemas de distribuição de baixo carbono para potencialização dos seus benefícios. Nesse sentido, a recarga inteligente por meio da associação de sistemas Fotovoltaicos (FV) e Sistemas de Armazenamento de Energia por Baterias (BESS, Battery Energy Storage System) à infraestrutura de eletropostos tem se destacado, sendo indispensável a projeção da capacidade instalada da estação e de seus componentes mediante a previsão de aumento de número de VEs. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo dimensionar uma estação de recarga de VEs conectada à rede elétrica, considerando a expansão da frota de VEs do CIMATEC Park entre 2021 e 2030, bem como diferentes cenários de intensidade de uso dos veículos. Para modelagem, dimensionamento e simulação da estação de recarga projetada, o software HOMER Grid foi utilizado. Além disso, entre os parâmetros analisados, avaliou-se a potência FV necessária para atendimento dos VEs, a potência solicitada pela estação à rede elétrica, o número de ultrapassagem de demanda contratada e a potência FV injetada na rede elétrica. Os resultados evidenciaram que considerando a intensidade de uso do veículo de 218 km/dia e consumo energético de 800 kWh/dia, uma planta FV de 75 kW e um BESS de 100 kW/375 kWh realizam suporte à rede elétrica durante a recarga de VEs, em que o sistema de armazenamento atua tanto na otimização da geração FV quanto no controle de demanda.

Published: December 2023

The article introduces the Digital Story Model. The model is made with the ambition to improve and enrich digital stories done by journalism students, professional journalists and other kinds of digital storytellers . In the study we adopt an action-based research approach and test the model in an international classroom setting with 85 journalism students representing 35 countries. The findings of students' experiences with applying the model point to a number of strengths and shortcomings. Strengths include the model as a structuring and planning tool, as a way to benefit creativity, as a shared language in an international group and as an assistance in considering the potential story modalities. Shortcomings include the model preventing creativity and creating standardized stories, the model being mostly beneficial for inexperienced reporters and being too linear. The study concludes that there is a significant usefulness of the model when it comes to enriching digital storytelling but also a need to revise the model further and to alter the way it is presented in the classroom.
Mens sana in corpore sano. La razón y su salud
Authors: Scaglia Lara 
Published: December 2023

Se suele considerar a Kant como el filósofo más relevante e influyente de la ilustración y defensor del valor de la razón. Esta etiqueta, sin embargo, podría llevar a una interpretación errónea de su enfoque: Kant, de hecho, no solamente afirma el valor universal de la razón, cuando es utilizada dentro sus límites, sino que estaba convencido del poder de la mente para contribuir o impedir unas funciones corpóreas vitales. En la primera parte de mi texto intentaré aportar argumentos textuales para mostrar que la razón no coincide con la conciencia del sujeto empírico psicológico. En un nivel trascendental, compartimos las mismas funciones, pero en un nivel empírico, estas funciones pueden funcionar de forma imperfecta y no sana. En la segunda parte, me centraré en la dimensión empírica del discurso de Kant sobre las facultades y el estatus de la psicología en su sistema. En la tercera parte, consideraré la nosología y etiología de las enfermedades de la mente - centrándome en particular en la causa social de dichas enfermedades tal y como se esboza en el Versuch - y finalmente consideraré algunos afectos que, según Kant, promueven la salud de forma natural, como el fenómeno de llorar. Estas consideraciones ofrecen pistas hacia una comprensión de la salud mental (o del corazón) como dependiente de la relación cuerpo, mente y entorno social. A partir de esto, se podrían impulsar algunas reconsideraciones sobre la visión general de Kant de la razón.

Aims: This paper presents a snapshot of the metazoan parasite fauna of Sarotherodon melanotheron collected from two stations across lake Nokoué.
Study Design: Fish samplings were done at the landing stage of Lake Nokoué (sampling site 1) and Tota (sampling site 2) from october 2016 to march 2017. Water physicochemical parameters such as pH, salinity, temperature, and conductivity were measured monthly.
Methodology: A total of 246 specimens of Sarotherodon melanotheron comprising 149 males and 97 females were investigated. Size and weight were measured. Then,fish were dissected and parasites were checked in several organs. Collected parasite were identified using adequate keys of identification. The chi square test was used to compare the prevalence of different parasite groups whereas Student T-test was applied to assess difference between parasite mean abundance within the two sampling stations. The pearson correlation coefficient was used to appraise possible influence of water parameters on parasite prevalence.
Results: The total prevalence was 86.58%. Eight parasite species were collected belonging to Myxosporidia, Monogena, Digena, Cestoda, Acanthocephala and Copepoda. Epidemiological parameters were calculated in order to appreciate the diversity of the parasitofauna according to sampling site, sex, and fish size. Females were significantly more infected than males (χ2 = 10.093; p < .05). Among the parasites, only monogenean prevalence (41.46%) was significantly different (χ2 = 149.645; p < .05). Correlation between physicochemical parameters and the prevalence of parasite groups showed that monogenea and cestoda were the most abundant in rainy season in opposite to the Digena that are mainly recorded in the dry season.

Published: December 2023

Background: Air pollution is currently a major threat globally, particularly in a developing country such as Nigeria. With its dire implication for human health, it is imperative to study and understand the knowledge and contributory practices of the populace as key to the development of necessary intervention measures.
Aims and Objectives: To assess knowledge and its predictors, also contributory practices towards air pollution among traders in Douglas Market, Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria.
Methodology: A cross – sectional analytical design using a combination of cluster and simple random sampling techniques were used to select 200 participants. Data was collected using a pretested semi – structured interviewer administered questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was done with frequencies and summary statistics. Chi square statistics were computed to determine significant relationship and simple binary regression was used to determine predictors of knowledge of air pollution. The p – value was set at 0.05 significance level.
Result: The mean age of the respondents was 36.2 ± 10.4 years with a slightly higher female proportion (59.0%). Almost all the respondents (97.9%) are aware of air pollution and the most common sources of information were the social media (38.8%) and the internet (23.2%). Respondents with good knowledge of air pollution in this study stood at 84.1%. Use of generators (73.5%) was the most common source of air pollution among the study participants. Factors significantly associated with knowledge of air pollution were age (p = 0.0000), marital status (p = 0.0192) and level of education (p = 0.0000). Predictors of poor knowledge of air pollution were: being within the ages of 42 – 49 years (OR: 27.33) and having non – formal education (OR: 32.50).
Conclusion: There is overall good knowledge of air pollution, however there was still relatively low knowledge in the less educated and elderly populace. This should inform policy making with targeted advocacy towards the education and guidance of people to become knowledgeable about air pollution and related health risks. Also efficient generation and supply of power will reduce the use of generators.

Published: December 2023

In Nigeria, the use of dry nasal snuff is spreading considerably throughout all age groups in both rural and urban areas. This is due to various ethno-cultural beliefs that have not been scientifically confirmed. Various people do not realize the negative impact of snuff on one's health, such as liver and kidneys failure, elevation of blood pressure, and a higher chance of oral cancer. The hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity of the local nasal snuff on snuff addicted individual was poorly understood. This study was carried out on snuff addicted individuals to assess hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity of the local nasal snuff. One hundred and fifty individuals used in the study were group into three of fifty people each. Group one served as a control which include individuals who never use snuff, Groups two and three comprise individuals who are addicted to snuff, with ages ranging from 18 to 30, and above thirty, respectively. The hepatotoxicity study revealed that, there were significant (p<0.05) increase in concentration of ALT, AST, Total Bilirubin and Direct Bilirubin of group two and group three compared with control. The concentration of ALT, AST, Total Bilirubin and Direct Bilirubin of group three were also significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of group two. While there were significant (p<0.05) decrease in concentration of total protein and albumin in group two and three compared with control. The nephrotoxicity study revealed that, there were significant (p<0.05) increase in concentration of creatinine of group two and group three compared with control. The concentration of creatinine in group three was even significantly higher than that of group two. Whereas, there were significant (p<0.05) decrease in concentration of Urea, Sodium, Potassium and Chlorine in group two and three compared with control. This study was concluded that, there was health risks (Hepatotoxicity and Nephrotoxicity) associated with snuff addiction.

AbstractPurposeMedical linear accelerators are the most costly standard equipment used in radiation oncology, however the service costs for these machines are not well understood. With an increasing demand for linear accelerators due to a global increase in cancer incidence, it is important to understand the expected maintenance costs of a larger global installed base so that these costs can be incorporated into budgeting. The purpose of this investigation is to analyze the costs for medical linear accelerator service and maintenance at our institution, in order to estimate the service cost ratio.MethodsWe collected the costs of parts used for all service work done on 32 medical linear accelerators over a two year period. The data was segregated by center, machine, linear accelerator type, and failure area in the machine.ResultsWe found the service cost ratio (excluding software support expenses) to be 3.13% [2.74%, 3.52%,]. We observed a variability of parts costs, and overall variability of the service cost ratio to be between 2.14% and 5.25%. This result is lower than other estimates for service costs for medical equipment in general and medical linear accelerators specifically. Two‐thirds of the service costs were due to labor costs, which indicate the importance of a well‐trained service technician workforce.ConclusionsWe estimated the service cost ratio for medical linear accelerators to be 3.13% [3.52%, 2.74%] of the initial capital cost. This result was lower than other estimates of the service cost ratio.

Published: December 2023

Electromagnetic shielding (EMI) films with excellent EMI and mechanical performances has been a hotspot in the EMI field. Herein, CNF/PDA@MXene (CPM) composite films exhibiting satisfactory mechanical and EMI properties are fabricated via vacuum filtration using PDA@MXene as the shielding layer and CNF/PDA as the mechanical layer. Results revealed that the optimal mass ratio of MXene to hydroxytyramine (DA) is 100:6 and that of CNF to DA is 70:30. The optimal arrangement is comprised by two layers of CNF/PDA and one layer of PDA@MXene. The breaking strength, breaking elongation, and toughness of the CPM composite film are 198.0 MPa, 2.9%, and 3.22 MJ m−3, which increased by 27.4, 3.5, and 106 times compared to those of a pure MXene film, respectively. Furthermore, the EMI efficiency of the CPM composite film reached 46.1 dB. Moreover, the EMI performance of the CPM composite film exhibited only slight changes under the conditions of ultrasonic shock, humid environment, and bending for 1000 times.

Published: December 2023

AbstractUltrafine Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) functionalized with various biomolecules constitute an alternative to antibodies as anti‐amyloidogenic agents. However, generating stable ultrafine Au NPs with high surface activity is challenging. Here, the capacity of phosphate groups in biomolecules is used to stabilize Au NPs. The characteristics of Au NPs decorated with adenosine mono‐, di‐, and tri‐phosphate are compared as well as adenosine and peptide nucleic acid‐containing adenosine as controls. Among them, ATP‐Au NPs are found to be superior having small size (2–4 nm) and stability (for several months) when analysed by spectroscopy and electron microscopy. Spectroscopy analysis also revealed that each ATP‐stabilized Au NP is decorated with 7–8 molecules of ATP. ThT binding analysis and TEM imaging showed that the ATP‐Au NPs efficiently prevented amyloid fibril formation in vitro by Aβ‐42, α‐Synuclein as well as by the Glucosylceramide metabolite, and disaggregated their pre‐formed fibrils. NMR analysis revealed the interaction of the ATP‐Au NPs with the amyloid fibrils. The ATP‐Au NPs are safe toward cultured SH‐SY5Y cells and when co‐incubated with α‐Synuclein amyloids inhibited their cytotoxicity and readily enter the cells to inhibit formation of amyloid fibrils within them. The results indicates the pharmacological potentials of ATP decorated Au NPs.

AbstractOcular angiogenesis, associated with diseases such as retinopathy of prematurity and diabetic retinopathy, is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss. Herein, carbon nanodonuts (CNDs) with a donut‐shaped structure are synthesized using sodium alginate (SA) and 1,8‐diaminooctane (DAO) through a one‐step thermal process. The formation of SA/DAO‐CNDs occurs through a crosslinking reaction between SA and DAO, creating amide bonds followed by partial carbonization. In human retinal pigment epithelial cells exposed to H2O2 or lipopolysaccharide, the SA/DAO‐CNDs display a more than fivefold reduction in reactive oxygen species and proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL‐6 and IL‐1β, when compared to carbonized nanomaterials produced exclusively from SA. Furthermore, the CNDs effectively inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor A‐165 (VEGF‐A165)‐induced cell migration and tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells due to their strong affinity for VEGF‐A165, with a dissociation constant of 2.2 × 10−14 M, over 1600 times stronger than the commercial drug bevacizumab (Avastin). Trypsin digestion coupled with LC‐MS/MS analysis reveals that VEGF‐A165 interacts with SA/DAO‐CNDs through its heparin‐binding domain, leading to activity loss. The SA/DAO‐CNDs demonstrate excellent biocompatibility and potent anti‐angiogenic effects in chicken embryos and rabbit eyes. These findings suggest that SA/DAO‐CNDs hold promise as a therapeutic agent for treating various angiogenesis‐related ocular diseases.

AbstractLi‐stuffed battery materials intrinsically have surface impurities, typically Li2CO3, which introduce severe kinetic barriers and electrochemical decay for a cycling battery. For energy‐dense solid‐state lithium batteries (SSLBs), mitigating detrimental Li2CO3 from both cathode and electrolyte materials is required, while the direct removal approaches hardly avoid Li2CO3 regeneration. Here, a decarbonization–fluorination strategy to construct ultrastable LiF‐rich interphases throughout the SSLBs by in situ reacting Li2CO3 with LiPF6 at 60 °C is reported. The fluorination of all interfaces effectively suppresses parasitic reactions while substantially reducing the interface resistance, producing a dendrite‐free Li anode with an impressive cycling stability of up to 7000 h. Particularly, transition metal dissolution associated with gas evolution in the cathodes is remarkably reduced, leading to notable improvements in battery rate capability and cyclability at a high voltage of 4.5 V. This all‐in‐one approach propels the development of SSLBs by overcoming the limitations associated with surface impurities and interfacial challenges.

AbstractINTRODUCTIONTau is a key pathology in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Here, we report our findings in tau positron emission tomography (PET) measurements from the DIAGNOSE CTE Research Project.METHODWe compare flortaucipir PET measures from 104 former professional players (PRO), 58 former college football players (COL), and 56 same‐age men without exposure to repetitive head impacts (RHI) or traumatic brain injury (unexposed [UE]); characterize their associations with RHI exposure; and compare players who did or did not meet diagnostic criteria for traumatic encephalopathy syndrome (TES).RESULTSSignificantly elevated flortaucipir uptake was observed in former football players (PRO+COL) in prespecified regions (p < 0.05). Association between regional flortaucipir uptake and estimated cumulative head impact exposure was only observed in the superior frontal region in former players over 60 years old. Flortaucipir PET was not able to differentiate TES groups.DISCUSSIONAdditional studies are needed to further understand tau pathology in CTE and other individuals with a history of RHI.
