Published: October 2023

Durante os preparativos para a realização da Copa do Mundo de Futebol no Brasil, Florianópolis recebeu, em fevereiro de 2014, a delegação de técnicos das seleções classificadas, bem como jornalistas de todo o mundo. Setores ligados ao turismo e a imprensa deram destaques especiais para o evento, na expectativa de revigorar o turismo internacional e mostrar o potencial acolhedor do Estado de Santa Catarina. No primeiro dia do evento, o jornal Diário Catarinense distribuiu um Suplemento Especial, uma espécie de guia turístico da cidade, com o título Welcome to Floripa, e estampava na capa a publicidade de uma casa noturna, o Bocarra Club, com imagens de mulheres em poses eróticas, evidenciando apologia ao turismo sexual. Analiso os impactos midiáticos dessa representação de imagens femininas oferecidas como objeto de desejo; cartas trocadas entre um órgão público e esta mídia; as ressonâncias desta publicação em leitores e leitoras, associando-a ao turismo sexual. Observo os usos de imagens femininas nas mídias, na perspectiva das relações de gênero. Palavras chave: Florianópolis; Copa do Mundo: Turismo Sexual; Representações; Mídias; Relações de Gênero
A crise de fim de século na Bolívia. A ascensão contemporânea da plurinacionalidade no contexto andino-amazônico
Authors: Chaves Ribeiro Daniel Santiago 
Published: October 2023

A questão a ser analisada neste texto – a da multiculturalidade, como questão, acabava apontada para a República tal qual se conhecia na Bolívia – articulará o ponto culminante da crise política desta primeira década do século XXI, considerando o papel das etnicidades neste contexto de desmantelamento, do global para o local, e a rigidez destas estruturas no caso boliviano. Em resumo, o que era colocado em questão era a sobrevivência do Estado boliviano tal qual existira desde 1825 e se desenvolvera historicamente, e como as plurinacionalidades – um reflexo contemporâneo das tendências multiculturais do século XXI – incidiram sobre tal fenômeno de desmontagem das relações de poder cristalizadas em tal país. Em corte histórico, os desdobramentos desta crise de modelos representativos, éticos e estruturais, se refletiriam por toda a região sul-americana e amazônica, com o posterior surgimento de novas dinâmicas sociais reformadoras. Palavras-chave: Política e Governo. Multiculturalismo. História.

Intrathoracic upper chest wall tumour simulating thoracic outlet syndrome: A case report
Authors: Nwafor IA  , Eze JC  , Eze AC  
Published: October 2023

Background: Chest wall tumours are relatively common. Most occur externally where as a visible mass it may or may not cause pain. Very few occur intrathoracically where detection is late except incidentally discovered during routine Chest x-ray investigation.
Objective: This is to report a very rare type of intrathoracic upper chest wall tumour, simulating thoracic outlet syndrome.
Patient and Method: An 18-year old Secondary school(SS3) student presented with right sided chest pain. Chest x-ray revealed intrathoracic upper chest wall mass. He was offered surgery which encompassed wide excision and chest wall reconstruction.
Result: Patient did well postoperatively but histology showed the tumour to be osteosarcoma. He received only chemotherapy but no radiotherapy due to non-availability in the country at that period in time. After a year, there was recurrence with explosive growth. Patient died from florid pulmonary metastasis 2 months later.
Conclusion: Chest wall tumours are generally considered malignant until otherwise proven. Surgery is the best form of treatment. Prognosis however, depends on the histologic type, type of surgery and the degree of sensitivity to chemoradiation.
Conservative management of chronic ectopic pregnancy with a novel protocol of methotrexate: A case report
Authors: Ohiri HA  , Ezem UB  
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND: Ectopic pregnancy is the implantation of an embryo at sites outside the uterine cavity. With advances in medicine, non-surgical (medical) therapeutic approaches had been introduced in the management of ectopic pregnancy, and they are gaining wide clinical application. Of such medical therapeutic approaches is the use of methotrexate. The use of combined regimen of methotrexate and leucovorin (folinic acid) and single dose regimen of methotrexate, has been reported. However there is still paucity of research information and reports on the use of divided doses of only methotrexate in management of chronic ectopic pregnancy especially in the tropics where affordability of medication imposes a challenge.
MATERIALS AND METHOD: This is a case report of a patient with chronic ectopic pregnancy, successfully managed with four doses of methotrexate only.
RESULT AND CONCLUSION: Chronic ectopic pregnancy can be treated successfully with divided doses of methotrexate alone with minimal side effects.

Published: October 2023

CONTEXTNigeria has the second heaviest burden of Human Immunodeficiency Virus/ Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) in Africa. There is growing debate in favor of starting HIV/AIDS education early in life in order to equip pupils with the knowledge and skills to delay sexual debut and to utilize appropriate preventive measures thereafter.Objectives: To assess the knowledge and attitude of primary school pupils regarding HIV/AIDS and to determine their attitude towards People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs).
Materials and MethodsA descriptive cross-sectional study carried out among primary schools pupils. A semi-structured self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from 275 respondents in primary four to six. The study utilized multi-stage sampling method.
ResultsOut of the 275 respondents recruited, 249 questionnaires were analyzable. Out of the 249 respondents, 116 (46.6%) were males while 133 (53.4%) were females. One hundred and eighty-seven (75.1%) respondents indicated that HIV /AIDS can be contracted through sexual intercourse; 50.1% indicated that it was caused by witches and wizards and 48% indicated that it was due to mosquito bite. More respondents in class six (11.7%) than those in class five (5.2%) and class four (0%) were willing to eat from the same plate with someone with HIV/AIDS. The difference was statistically significant (X2=9.547, df=2, P=0.008). Similarly, more respondents in class six (12.5%) than those in class five (6.4%) and class four (0.4%) indicated that they would live in the same room with someone with HIV/AIDS. The difference was statistically significant (X2=6.605, df=2, P=0.037).
ConclusionMajority of respondents demonstrated gaps in knowledge of HIV/AIDS. Majority showed evidence of stigmatizing and discriminating attitude towards PLWHAs. Inclusion of HIV/AIDS education in the school curriculum and attitudinal re-orientation is recommended.
Land suitability assessment for wheat-barley cultivation in a semi-arid region of Eastern Anatolia in Turkey
Authors: Sarğın Bulut , Karaca Siyami 
Published: October 2023

The efficient use and sustainability of agricultural lands depend heavily on the characteristics of soil resources in a given area, as different soil properties can significantly impact crop growth and yield. Therefore, land suitability studies play a crucial role in determining the appropriate crops for a given area and ensuring sustainable agricultural practices. This study, conducted in Tusba District-Van, Turkey, represents a significant advancement in land suitability studies for wheat-barley cultivation. Using geographic information systems, the analytical hierarchical process method, and the standard scoring function, lands were determined based on the examined criteria for the suitability of wheat-barley cultivation. One of this study’s main findings is identifying critical factors that influence the suitability of land for wheat-barley cultivation. These factors include slope, organic matter content, available water capacity, soil depth, cation exchange capacity, pH level, and clay content. It is important to note that slope is the most influential factor, followed by organic matter content and available water capacity. A Soil Quality Index map was produced, and the suitability of wheat-barley production in the studied area was demonstrated. More than 28% of the study area was very suitable for wheat-barley production (S2), and more than was 39% moderately suitable (S3). A positive regression (R2 = 0.67) was found between soil quality index values and crop yield. The relationship between soil quality index values and crop yield is above acceptable limits. Land suitability assessment can minimize labor and cost losses in the planning and implementation of sustainable ecological and economic agriculture. Furthermore, land suitability classes play an active role in the selection of the product pattern of the area by presenting a spatial decision support system.

AbstractObjectiveRetrograde trans‐synaptic neuroaxonal degeneration is considered a key pathological factor of subclinical retinal neuroaxonal damage in multiple sclerosis (MS). We aim to evaluate the longitudinal association of optic radiation (OR) lesion activity with retinal neuroaxonal damage and its role in correlations between retinal and brain atrophy in people with clinically isolated syndrome and early MS (pweMS).MethodsEighty‐five pweMS were retrospectively screened from a prospective cohort (Berlin CIS cohort). Participants underwent 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for OR lesion volume and brain atrophy measurements and optical coherence tomography (OCT) for retinal layer thickness measurements. All pweMS were followed with serial OCT and MRI over a median follow‐up of 2.9 (interquartile range: 2.6–3.4) years. Eyes with a history of optic neuritis prior to study enrollment were excluded. Linear mixed models were used to analyze the association of retinal layer thinning with changes in OR lesion volume and brain atrophy.ResultsMacular ganglion cell‐inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thinning was more pronounced in pweMS with OR lesion volume increase during follow‐up compared to those without (Difference: −0.82 μm [95% CI:‐1.49 to −0.15], p = 0.018). Furthermore, GCIPL thinning correlated with both OR lesion volume increase (β [95% CI] = −0.27 [−0.50 to −0.03], p = 0.028) and brain atrophy (β [95% CI] = 0.47 [0.25 to 0.70], p < 0.001). Correlations of GCIPL changes with brain atrophy did not differ between pweMS with or without OR lesion increase ( = 5.92e−7, p = 0.762).InterpretationFaster GCIPL thinning rate is associated with increased OR lesion load. Our results support the value of GCIPL as a sensitive biomarker reflecting both posterior visual pathway pathology and global brain neurodegeneration.

Published: October 2023

AbstractNanoporous graphene membranes are attractive for molecular separations, but it remains challenging to maintain sufficient mechanical strength during scalable fabrication and module development. Inspired by the composite structure of cell membranes and cell walls, a large‐area atomically thin nanoporous graphene membrane supported by a fiber‐reinforced structure with strong interlamellar adhesion is designed. Compared with other graphene‐based membranes of large scale, the fracture stress, fracture strength, and tensile stiffness of the composite membranes can be enhanced by a factor of 17, 67, and 94, respectively. This fiber‐reinforced structure also confers stability of the composite membrane to different curvature states and repeated bending processes after 10 000 times, which provides an opportunity for modularization. The breathable function of such membrane with an ultrahigh gas permeance (≈8.6–23 L m−2 d−1 Pa−1) and an ultralow water vapor transportation rate (WVTR) (≈23–129 g L m−2 d−1) is observed, superior to most commercial materials. This work provides a facile method to fabricate large‐area graphene membranes and paves the road to practical application in the membrane separation field for other 2D films.

Published: October 2023

AbstractA synthetic method to prepare enantioenriched secondary and tertiary 3‐amido allylic alcohols efficiently that relies on their stereoablative enantioselective kinetic resolution (KR) catalysed by a chiral Brønsted acid is described. Achieved at room temperature, the stereoablative asymmetric KR protocol was shown to exhibit excellent functional group tolerance and provided product yields up to 50%, and ee and s values up to 99% and >200. The synthetic utility of the divergent catalytic protocol was exemplified by the 1 mmol scale preparation of one tertiary example and its reduction or bromination to give the corresponding 1,3‐amino alcohol and 2‐bromo‐1,3‐amino alcohol derivatives. The suggested asymmetric KR pathways provide rare instances of accomplishing enantioselective discrimination through the dehydration or imine‐enamine tautomerisation/retro‐aza‐aldol reaction of the respective 2° and 3° alcohol substrates.

AbstractHigh‐yielding mechanized rice production requires large amounts of nitrogen (N) fertilizer, which can be particularly costly to producers when applied in excess. The development of a tissue test to detect overapplication of N to rice is needed. Nitrogen response trials arranged in a randomized complete block design were established to identify a critical concentration threshold for a tissue test to detect excess N availability. Rice stalk samples were collected from 0 to 20 cm above the soil within 5 days of harvest and analyzed for NO3−‐N concentration. Two models were fit to the data to represent rice grain yield as a function of N concentration: the linear plateau model and the quadratic plateau model. The data were well represented by both models; however, the linear plateau model more accurately described the data with a normalized root mean square error of 0.128 for linear plateau and 0.131 for quadratic plateau and a significant F‐test (p < 0.0001). The join point of the linear response region and the plateau region of the model serves as a critical value that separates the responsive (N deficient) and non‐responsive (N optimum or excessive) regions. The 95% confidence interval of the join point (2.1 mg NO3−‐N kg−1) was selected as a practical, agronomic critical concentration threshold to reduce false positive errors. The data presented here further supports the use of a post‐season tissue test in rice to detect overfertilization and establish a critical concentration threshold for this tissue test.

Published: October 2023

AbstractThe sophisticated olfactory system of insects is plays a critical role in detecting chemical signals and guiding insect behaviors, such as selecting mates, finding hosts, evading predators, and discovering oviposition sites. Therefore, exploring and clarifying the molecular processes of this system is crucial for developing new insecticides or efficient pest control methods. Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) is a disruptive insect pest damaging the stored grains over the world. However, the olfactory processes of P. interpunctella remain unclear. Herein, we employed a transcriptome analysis to identify olfactory and differentially expressed genes to characterize their expression patterns in different developmental stages and antennal tissue. Subsequently, a total of 172 potential olfactory‐related genes included 42 odorant‐binding proteins, 12 chemosensory proteins, 51 odorant receptors, 13 gustatory receptors, three sensory neuron membrane proteins, and 51 ionotropic receptors. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis and BLASTx best‐hit analyses showed that these olfactory genes were closely linked with those identified in other lepidopterans. Transcriptome analysis revealed 49 differentially expressed olfactory‐related genes, and a semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction showed that 11 olfactory genes were particularly expressed in the legs and wings of female P. interpunctella. Meanwhile, PintOBP29 was notably expressed in female antennae and legs. Genes with high expression levels in the abdomen showed high expression in the legs, but low expression in the antennae. Our findings provide the candidate genetic factors for analysis of the olfactory processes in P. interpunctella.
