O livro analisa as relações luso-brasileiras, discutindo criticamente se as narrativas que são conta de uma ligação especial entre os dois países contribuem para informar as políticas que adotam um relativamente ao outro. O livro mostra que apesar da relevância do discurso que salienta as proximidades entre os dois países, este não é suficiente para garantir um lugar de destaque nas respetivas políticas exteriores. Argumenta-se ainda que as relações estabelecidas variam ao longo do tempo, havendo momentos de aproximação e outros de maior distanciamento.Palavras-chave: Política Exterior; Portugal; Brasil.ABSTRACTThe book analyzes Luso-Brazilian relations, critically discussing whether the narratives that account for a special bond between the two countries contribute to inform the policies they adopt towards each other. The book shows that despite the relevance of the discourse that highlights the ties that bind the two countries, this is not sufficient to ensure a prominent place in their respective foreign policies. It also argues that their relation varies over time, with moments of closeness and others of greater distance.Keywords: Foreign Policy; Portugal; Brazil.

Effect of sputtering power on the physical properties of amorphous SiO2-doped InZnO transparent conductive oxide
Authors: Hwang Jin Young , Lee Sang Yeol 
Published: November 2023

In order to control the optical and electrical properties of the transparent conductive oxide, the radio frequency (RF) sputtering power was changed from 30 to 40, 50, and 60 W. To optimize the power condition of the SiInZnO (SIZO) layer, we changed the sputtering power from 30 to 60 W, systematically. The chemical properties of the SIZO layer were analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XPS proved that this change is dominant in thickness. In order to fabricate the SIZO transparent conducting oxide (TCO) with the optimized power of 50 W, the transmittance of 99.1% at 550 nm and the figure of merit of 12.4×10−3Ω−1 were obtained.

A flexible coherent passive optical network (FLCS-CPON) is a promising solution for the future access network. By offering increased speed, sensitivity, and flexibility, it enables more efficient utilization of network resources and allows for serving a larger number of users. However, the past studies often overlook the flexibility of channel equalization. In the FLCS-CPON, customized rate optimization has been achieved to cater to users in different channel conditions. However, in addition to rate optimization, further performance improvement can be achieved by providing customized equalization methods. In this work, we proposed and demonstrated an end-to-end (E2E)-optimization-based FLCS-CPON in a 50 km fiber transmission. It enables tailored signal constellation shaping and equalization, maximizing system efficiency and performance. Finally, we achieved a FLCS-CPON with the net data rate (NDR) varied from 124 to 210 Gbps and the power budget of 40 and 42.4 dB in upstream and downstream, respectively; 3.7 and 2.9 dB power budgets are improved by E2E optimization. In burst-mode, the dynamic range of probabilistic shaping 32 quadrature amplitude modulation (PS-32QAM) at a line rate of 250 Gbps improved by 6.1 to 16.8 dB. Additionally, a dynamic range and net-rate product (DRNRP) of 5779 dB · Gbps is achieved.
Comparison of new and old BacT/ALERT aerobic bottles for detection of Candida species
Authors: Choe Kye Won , Lim Yong Kwan , Lee Mi-Kyung 
Published: November 2023

Purpose
A new version of aerobic blood culture media has been developed for the BacT/ALERT (bioMérieux) blood culture system. We evaluated the time to detection and yeast cell counts in positive blood cultures for each Candida spp. according to changes in media.

Methods
Isolates from defibrinated horse blood were inoculated into three types of bottles: the old version of aerobic bottle, new version of aerobic bottle, and anaerobic bottle. All bottles were incubated in the BacT/ALERT Virtuo blood culture system. The time to detection was monitored for each bottle, and yeast cell counts were performed immediately after testing positive, determined via the plate count method. Clinical retrospective data of the candidemia samples before and after aerobic bottle change also were analyzed.

Results
The median time to detection was 52.47 hours in the old aerobic bottles versus 19.92 hours in the new aerobic bottles (P < 0.001) for Candida glabrata, and standard and clinical strains showed similar results. C. albicans (27.6 to 24.95 hours) and C. guilliermondii (28.92 to 26.9 hours) had shorter time to detection. However, C. auris (25.43 to 28.25 hours) had a longer time to detection in the new aerobic bottle. The retrospective clinical analysis showed a significant decrease in time to detection (45.0 to 19.4 hours) for C. glabrata, which is consistent with our simulated study result for C. glabrata. As a result of analysis including all blood specimens, C. tropicalis showed a significant delay in time to detection in new aerobic bottles. In an analysis limited to peripheral blood specimens, the time to detection of C. parapsilosis was longer in new aerobic bottles than in old aerobic bottles.

Conclusion
Most Candida species did not show remarkable TTD differences, but TTD of C. glabrata was markedly reduced in the New FA Plus bottle. The reduction of time to detection enables faster detection and therapeutic approach for C. glabrata infections.

Published: November 2023

Background
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have a lifelong impact on behavior, communication, cognitive function, education, physical functioning, and personal, or social life. Separate studies suggest, Therapeutic and dietary interventions are effective to some extent in managing these issues. No study integrated the nutrition and therapeutic approaches and examined the outcome on disease severity, overall health, and behavioral status in ASD. The proposed study is designed to evaluate the combined effect of regular therapy (RT) and structured diet (SD) compared to the usual diet (UD) for Adolescents with ASD.

Methods
The proposed study will be a randomized clinical trial (RCT) with the assessor, therapist, and participants blinded to group allocation. Seventy ASD children with malnutrition will be enrolled in two different facilities of the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP) between January 2023 and June 2023. Participants will be enrolled through a hospital-based randomization process from a population-based screening dataset, and with a concealed group allocation to either RT+ SD or RT+ UD group with a 1:1 ratio. The outcome measures are the Childhood Autism Rating Scale as per DSM‐5 to determine the severity of ASD, Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), and BMI for nutritional status, and Gilliam Autism Rating Scale (GARS-2) to assess the behavioral status. Post-test will be performed after 12 weeks of intervention, and Follow-up will be taken after 6 months of post-test.

Perspectives
The result of the study will contribute to the provision of a comprehensive approach to malnourished Adolescents with ASD, and manage the issues related to the severity of ASD, stereotypical behavior, and anticipated health hazards.

The effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in patients with chronic kidney disease with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus on cardiovascular and renal outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Reyes-Farias Carlos Ignacio , Reategui-Diaz Marcelo , Romani-Romani Franco , Prokop Larry 
Published: November 2023

Background
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors have shown a favorable effect on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, their efficacy in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with or without T2DM has not yet been analyzed.

Objective
To assess the cardiovascular and renal effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with CKD with and without T2DM, including all CKD patients in the current literature.

Methods
We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL and Scopus for randomized controlled trials of SGLT-2 inhibitors that evaluated cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in patients with CKD, or trials in which these patients were a subgroup. We defined 2 primary outcomes: a composite of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure, and a composite renal outcome. For each outcome, we obtained overall hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals by using a random effects model.

Results
We included 14 randomized controlled trials. SGLT-2 inhibitors decreased the hazard for the primary cardiovascular outcome (HR 0.76; [95% CI 0.72–0.79]) and the primary renal outcome (HR 0.69; [95% CI 0.61–0.79]) in patients with CKD with or without T2DM. We did not find significant differences in the subgroup analyses according to diabetes status, baseline eGFR values or the type of SGLT-2 inhibitor used.

Conclusion
In patients with CKD, treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors in addition to standard therapy conferred protection against cardiovascular and renal outcomes. Further research on patients with non-diabetic CKD should be done to confirm the utility of these medications in this population. (PROSPERO ID: CRD42021275012).

The processes studied of sedimentation and purification of the number of iridoids from the processing waste of the aerial part of Ajuga turkestanica Regel. Brig. (Turkestan tenacious). Based on the results of the research, it was found that for the effective precipitation of iridoids, the ethanol extract from the aerial part of the Turkestan tenacious is concentrated, diluted with water, treated successively with extraction gasoline and ethyl acetate, from the purified solution iridoids and ecdysteroids, are extracted with n-butanol, then the n-butanol extract is concentrated to 1/10 of the initial volume, after which the iridoids are precipitated, by pouring acetone in a volume ratio of n-butanol-acetone 1 : 5, the precipitate is separated and dried. To clean accompanying substances, the dried amount of iridoids is dissolved in ethyl alcohol and re-precipitated by pouring ethyl acetate in a volume ratio of ethyl alcohol-ethyl acetate 1 : 5. Experiments were carried out on the selection of the type of drying apparatus and the establishment of optimal drying conditions. It was revealed that drying the sum of iridoids from the aerial part of the Turkestan tenacious in the "ZPG 150" spray dryer is more optimal than drying in a drying cupboard (vacuum and without vacuum) and an infrared drying cupboard. At the same time, for drying in the "ZPG 150" spray dryer, the dried aqueous solution of iridoids must be prepared as follows: after the second precipitation, the sum of iridoids is dissolved with water until about 7% of the dry residue in the solution is formed and, with the aim of removing residual organic solvents, the aqueous solution of iridoids is concentrated to the content of not more than 15% and not less than 10% of the dry residue. It has been established that to obtain a finished product that is stable in yield and quality, drying an aqueous solution of iridoids in a spray dryer "ZPG 150" must be carried out implemented at a temperature coolant at the inlet 170 °С, at an outlet of 80 °C and a solution feed rate of 80 l/h, spray head rotation speed 8000 rpm and coolant speed 2200 kg/h. Technology has been developed for the production of the substance of iridoids from the waste products of the production of ekdisten from the aerial part of Turkestan tenacious, which allows the rational use of plant raw materials. Approbation of the developed technology showed that the yield of the target product is 1.5% by weight of the raw material.

Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT
We describe a case of hepatoportal sclerosis (HPS) identified in an 81-year-old woman taking a traditional Chinese herbal supplementation, Cordyceps. The patient presented with splenomegaly and weight loss. After an extensive evaluation, liver biopsy confirmed loss of the small portal veins with characteristics of obstruction at the level of the small and large portal veins, suggestive of HPS. After a comprehensive history and exclusion of other etiological factors, patient's HPS was attributed to Cordyceps use. Ultimately, the patient's features of HPS improved with the cessation of Cordyceps.
Biographische Darstellungen jüdischer Autorinnen im 19. Jahrhundert. Ludwig Geigers Arbeiten zu Dorothea Schlegel und Fanny Lewald
Authors: Schneider Ulrike 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In 1896, the literary scholar Ludwig Geiger published the volume »Dichter und Frauen«. Two articles in the volume were devoted to the female writers Dorothea Schlegel and Fanny Lewald. The essays are characterized by the literary-historical attempt to bring together life and work as well as the inclusion of first-person documents such as letters or diary entries. The relation between Geiger and his biographical ›objects‹ is based on the discrimination they experienced as Jews. In his contributions to the two authors, Geiger emphasizes their patriotic attitude, which he himself, as a German citizen of Jewish faith, strove to fulfill with his research.

Authors: Kumar E. Anil , Naik M. Gopichand Naik 
Published: November 2023

The below paper concentrates on the efficient integration of Renewable Energy Systems as Distributed Generators (DGs) within the distribution sector, aiming to minimize losses occurring from their presence in the system. To achieve this objective, the study proposes the strategic placing and sizing of DGs at optimal locations within the distribution network. To tackle this challenge, four heuristic search-based methods have been carefully selected and applied. The primary objectives of the paper are twofold: Firstly, it seeks to find the ideal location and sizing of DGs by loss minimization criteria. Secondly, the study aims to compare the performance of four chosen heuristic search-based methods TO achieve the loss reduction goals. By evaluating these methods' outcomes, researchers can identify the most effective method for DG placement and its sizing in the radial network. For the analysis, the IEEE 33 radial bus test system is utilized as a representative distribution system.

Published: November 2023

Introduction. This study examines the relationship between social values and the control of the COVID-19 pandemic in selected European countries during the early months of 2020.
Methods. Utilizing epidemiological data, including starting and controlled reproduction rates (R(t)), and social values' dimensions based on Schwartz's framework, we uncover significant associations by linear regressions.
Results. Our findings reveal that highly hierarchical societies with a strong focus on maximising individual utility (affective autonomy) are less successful in controlling the spread of the virus. Conversely, societies with interconnected (embedded) structures appear to be more effective in disease control. Our discussion acknowledges the complexity of distinguishing between natural disease patterns and control efforts. Interactive dashboard is available: https://infodemia-koronawirusa.shinyapps.io/culture/
Conclusions. This study underscores the substantial influence of social values on disease control in Europe. It emphasises the need to consider social contexts when evaluating the effectiveness of mitigation strategies on an international scale. While recognising the potential role of confounding variables such as healthcare capacity, our research suggests that analysing outbreak dynamics across countries can provide insights into not only why some nations fare better but also how to combat future disease spread effectively.

Authors: Jarynowski Andrzej , Jędrzejczyk Kamila , Maksymowicz Stanisław 
Published: November 2023

Introduction and Methods. The aim of this study was to perform real-time monitoring of the interest on the Internet in topics related to "food security," "poisoned grain," and "pesticides" in central-eastern (CE) Europe (mainly Poland) in April 2023, with a focus on crisis management in context of food and information security. The article explores the phases of media coverage during the climax period and identifies the involvement of right/left-wing, mainstream, and Kremlin propaganda narratives.
Results.We differentiate the following phases of the interest: 1) farmers protests in CE Europe; 2) a peak phase with mainstream media attention on April 14, characterised by negative sentiment; 3) mixed right-left phase with high traffic and small reach; 4) a commenting phase with traditional media engagement from April 17; and finally, 5) a Kremlin propaganda phase targeting the internal market on April 18-19, with limited impact on the Polish infosphere, but entering Bulgaria and Romania's infosphere.
Conclusions. The success of the misinformation campaign is highlighted in the context of food security. The study suggests that the Kremlin aims to exploit existing problems and conflicts to generate disputes between Poland, Ukraine, and the EU. The role of other internal and external forces in affecting the information landscape is considered. Overall, this study aims to provide insights into handling misinformation and crisis management in the domain of food security.
