QUANDO O CAMPO É SUA PRÓPRIA UNIVERSIDADE:
Authors: Carade Hildon Oliveira Santiago 
Published: February 2023

Este artigo propõe uma reflexão acerca de uma pesquisa realizada entre 2009 e 2011 sobre as relações entre uma instituição de ensino superior e uma parcela da sociedade, a saber, a Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas (FFCH) da UFBA e os bairros situados em seu entorno. Tomo a seguinte questão como guia: como se dá a etnografia em um setor que vislumbra a si mesmo como estando para além dos limites do Estado? Por um lado, na letra oficial das instituições estatais, a universidade pública aparece como que desprovida de poderes executivos e legislativos, estando afiançada apenas de um poder consultivo, tendo por prerrogativa a tarefa de auxiliar os gestores públicos na arte do bom governo. Por outro, etnografias sobre setores do Estado informam que as suas instituições, não raro, operam extrapolando o seu arcabouço legal/formal. Reside aí toda a questão, pois um relato sobre a vida privada de uma instituição da qual o antropólogo está vinculado inspira dois tipos de reações: aqueles que temem ser “avaliados” negativamente e terem, assim, seu sistema de representações ferido e aqueles que querem ver “o circo pegar fogo”, conquanto não voem faíscas a chamuscar suas reputações. Desta forma, a etnografia é enquadrada como um exercício de antropologia anti-social, nos termos do antropólogo David Mosse. No caso em tela, teme-se que a análise das relações entre a FFCH e a sua vizinhança demonstre o quão esta entidade está enredada em condicionamentos e ideologias que, a princípio, seriam vistos como alheias a ela.

AbstractThe mortality rates of individuals with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease (MOGAD) are currently unknown. This study aimed to assess the mortality rate in a large cohort of patients with MOGAD. Since none of the patients in our cohort died, we estimated the upper limit of a 95% confidence interval of the crude mortality rate in the cohort to be 2.1%. These data suggest that mortality in MOGAD is lower than that reported in other neuroinflammatory diseases and comparable to the age‐adjusted mortality rates of the general population in the United States. Additional studies are warranted to confirm this observation.
Adaptive fuzzy gain‐varying finite‐time command filtered backstepping control for permanent magnet synchronous motors with mismatched disturbances
Authors: Wang Yupeng , Zhao Lin 
Published: February 2023

SummaryThis article investigates the position tracking control problem of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) with mismatched disturbances based on adaptive fuzzy gain‐varying finite‐time command filtered backstepping method. First, the anti‐disturbance ability of the system is improved by constructing gain‐varying functions instead of the traditional static gains. Then, the command filter is adopted to overcome the explosion of complexity in classical backstepping method, and the gain‐varying error compensation mechanisms are introduced to reduce the errors produced by command filters. In addition, the finite‐time control technique makes the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of origin in finite time. The fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) are used to approximate the nonlinear functions with strong coupling of PMSMs systems, and this article further utilizes the characteristics of FLSs to separate the states and handle the coupling of PMSMs systems. Finally, the simulation results prove the validity of the proposed strategy.

Published: February 2023

AbstractAlong with the rapid development and ever‐deepening understanding of nanoscience and nanotechnology, nanomaterials hold promise to mimic the highly evolved biological exquisite nanostructures and sophisticated functions. Here, inspired by the ubiquitous antibacterial nanostructures on the wing surfaces of some insects, a NiCo2O4 nanozyme with self‐adaptive hierarchical nanostructure is developed that can capture bacteria of various morphotypes via the physico‐mechanical interaction between the nanostructure and bacteria. Moreover, the developed biomimetic nanostructure further exhibits superior peroxidase‐like catalytic activity, which can catalytically generate highly toxic reactive oxygen species that disrupt bacterial membranes and induce bacterial apoptosis. Therefore, the mechano‐catalytic coupling property of this NiCo2O4 nanozyme allows for an extensive and efficient antibacterial application, with no concerns of antimicrobial resistance. This work suggests a promising strategy for the rational design of advanced antibacterial materials by mimicking biological antibiosis.

AbstractRecently, the newly‐emerging lead‐free metal‐halide materials with less toxicity and superior optoelectronic properties have received wide attention as the safer and potentially more robust alternatives to lead‐based perovskite counterparts. Among them, ternary copper halides (TCHs) have become a vital group due to their unique features, including abundant structural diversity, ease of synthesis, unprecedented optoelectronic properties, high abundance, and low cost. Although the recent efforts in this field have made certain progresses, some scientific and technological issues still remain unresolved. Herein, a comprehensive and up‐to‐date overview of recent progress on the fundamental characteristics of TCH materials and their versatile applications is presented, which contains topics such as: i) crystal and electronic structure features and synthesis strategies; ii) mechanisms of self‐trapped excitons, luminescence regulation, and environmental stability; and iii) their burgeoning optoelectronic devices of phosphor‐converted white light‐emitting diodes (WLEDs), electroluminescent LEDs, anti‐counterfeiting, X‐ray scintillators, photodetectors, sensors, and memristors. Finally, the current challenges together with future perspectives on the development of TCH materials and applications are also critically described, which is considered to be critical for accelerating the commercialization of these rapidly evolving technologies.
Data on data: An analysis of data usage and analytics in the agricultural supply chain

Published: February 2023

AbstractThe amount of data being collected throughout the agricultural supply chain has increased in both volume and velocity. All signs indicate that this will only increase as data collection technologies become more cost effective and prevalent throughout the supply chain. Previous work in this area has focused on data collection at the farm level. Our study focuses on data that originates at five different stages of the agricultural supply chain off the farm and how these stages view their firm's data collection and analysis efforts. We find that there is heterogeneity in the data collection efforts and analysis across the agricultural supply chain. Improved customer satisfaction and improved decision making were the most important benefits to data collection. We also find that the expected benefits and challenges for implementation of these efforts are not universal. Companies that exist upstream in the supply chain are more likely to disagree on intended benefits and challenges.

Published: February 2023

AbstractA novel sand‐fixing curing agent was developed and applied as a sustainable sand‐fixing material. This research prepared a self‐degradable, eco‐friendly sand‐fixing curing agent by using nanosilica and a polymer as the main raw materials (nanosilicon/polymer composite, NSPC), its mechanical properties and hydration mechanism were investigated. The results showed that adsorption of the NSPC on sand particles followed pseudo second‐order kinetics, and the optimum mixing time of the NSPC and sand was 3 h. The compressive strength of the sample reached 6.07 MPa after 28 days with the optimal mass ratio of NSPC and sand. After 20 freezing–thawing cycles, the compressive strength was 3.25 MPa. The results indicated that the NSPC improved the sand's capacity for water retention. The chemical reaction between the NSPC and sand particles occurred at the microlevel and improved the sand strength by bonding the particles together. The NSPC curing agent satisfied the requirements of sand‐fixing technology during 5 months of field tests. A mixture of the NSPC and sandy soil with a mass ratio of 1:3 is recommended for wind erosion control in the field. A field engineer in these situations may take advantage of the mixture to sprayed it onto the sandy surface.
Isotope‐Guided Metabolomics Reveals Divergent Incorporation of Valine into Different Flavor Precursor Classes in Chives

Published: February 2023

AbstractPlants of the genus Allium such as chives, onions or garlic produce S‐alk(en)yl cysteine sulfoxides as flavor precursors. Two major representatives are S‐propenyl cysteine sulfoxide (isoalliin) and S‐propyl cysteine sulfoxide (propiin), which only differ by a double bond in the C3 side chain. The propenyl group of isoalliin is derived from the amino acid valine, but the source of the propyl group of propiin remains unclear. Here, we present an untargeted metabolomics approach in seedlings of chives (Allium schoenoprasum) to track mass features containing sulfur and/or 13C from labeling experiments with valine‐13C5 guided by their isotope signatures. Our data show that propiin and related propyl‐bearing metabolites incorporate carbon derived from valine‐13C5, but to a much lesser extent than isoalliin and related propenyl compounds. Our findings provide new insights into the biosynthetic pathways of flavor precursors in Allium species and open new avenues for future untargeted labeling experiments.

Published: February 2023

AbstractThe template‐directed C−H insertion of α,β‐unsaturated esters into quinoline was interrogated by using computational quantum chemistry. An energetically viable mechanism for this complex multistep transformation was elucidated, with attention paid throughout to conformational flexibility and alternative ligand binding modes. The selectivity was found to correlate with distortion from a tetrahedral geometry for the carbon atom involved in C−H insertion, a parameter that can be applied to future template design.
Azide–Enolate Cycloaddition‐Rearrangement Enables Direct α‐Amination of Amides and Enelactam Synthesis from Esters**

Published: February 2023

AbstractAzide‐enolate cycloaddition‐rearrangements offer potential for rapid access to diverse molecular frameworks from simple precursors. We report here that investigations into the cycloadditions of ester or amide enolates with vinyl azides led to the identification of two reaction processes – direct α‐amination of amides and lactams, and the synthesis of ene‐γ‐lactams from esters. The outcomes of these reactions depended on the fate of key vinyl triazoline intermediates generated in the initial cycloaddition step. Isolation of reaction intermediates in the ene‐γ‐lactam synthesis revealed the unexpected addition of two enolate equivalents, one of which is later eliminated. Computational studies further suggested an unusual reaction pathway involving direct addition of an enolate to the terminal carbon of the N‐vinyl triazoline. In contrast, the α‐amination of amides and lactams proceeded by rearrangement of the intermediate triazoline to give an imine, hydrolysis or reduction of which gave access to primary or secondary α‐amino amides or lactams.

Published: February 2023

AbstractThe emergence of multi‐drug resistant bacteria strains has been an uphill battle in modern healthcare worldwide, due to the increasing difficulty of killing them. The evolving pathogenicity of bacteria has led to researchers searching for more effective antimicrobial therapeutics to successfully eliminate them without undesirable consequences to the human body. In recent years, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (APDT), an obsolete technique for cancer treatments, has been reported to eradicate bacteria and biofilm‐related infections. The principle of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy solely relies on the photosensitizers (PSs) generating reactive oxygen species, in the presence of oxygen and light, to destroy pathogens. Thus, it can target a broad spectrum of microorganisms, owing to the indirect interaction between PSs and the bacteria, resulting in the less likelihood for the development of drug resistant bacteria strains. This review will focus on the recent progress of APDT in the last five years and some future perspectives of APDT. The mechanism of APDT against bacteria and biofilms, various PSs used for APDT, and some common multidrug‐resistant bacteria strains will be briefly introduced. The reported in vivo applications of APDT in the several types of bacterial infections that includes periodontitis, wound infections, keratitis, endophthalmitis and tuberculosis in the last five years will be summarized in detail.

In contrast,Ir2accumulated in mitochondria but subsequently migrated to the nucleus.Ir1andIr2showed cytotoxicity toward cancerous cells, especially the cisplatin‐resistant ones, indicating their ability to overcome cisplatin resistance. Although bothIr1andIr2disrupted mitochondrial metabolism, they showed different cell death mechanisms.Ir1induced mitochondria‐mediated apoptosis in cisplatin‐resistant A549R cells.Ir2was demonstrated to cause PARP‐1 activated necroptosis in A549R cells. This study provides an experimental basis for the rational design of metal‐based chemotherapeutic drugs.
Environmental Justice and Carbon Pricing: Can They Be Reconciled?
Authors: Boyce James K. , Ash Michael , Ranalli Brent 
Published: February 2023

AbstractCarbon pricing has been criticized by environmental justice advocates on the grounds that it fails to reduce emissions significantly, fails to reduce the disproportionate impacts of hazardous co‐pollutants on people of color and low‐income communities, hits low‐income households harder than wealthier households, and commodifies nature. Designing carbon pricing policy to address these concerns can yield outcomes that are both more effective and more equitable.
Health insurance coverage and marriage behavior: Is there evidence of marriage lock?
Authors: Chen Tianxu 
Published: February 2023

AbstractPremiums and eligibility for health insurance may cause a “marriage lock,” in which couples stay married for the sake of maintaining health insurance coverage. By using the Health and Retirement Study for adults aged 60–70, I examine whether employer‐based health insurance coverage for the spouse discourages divorce for spousal health insurance coverage‐dependent individuals. Diverse difference‐in‐difference models provide evidence of a 7 percentage points increase in the number of divorces upon achieving Medicare eligibility at age 65 for people with spousal insurance coverage relative to those without it. The estimates thus provide evidence that marriage lock exists.

Published: February 2023

AbstractBACKGROUNDThe anode material of bioelectrochemical systems (BES) is crucial because its characteristics directly affect electron transfer from the bacteria to the anode. To assess its usefulness, each material must undergo evaluation under relevant operating conditions, as well as a complete electrochemical characterization.RESULTSFive carbonaceous materials – carbon brush (CB), carbon granules (CG), thicker carbon felt (CF1), high‐conductivity carbon felt (CF2), and high‐active‐area carbon felt (CF3) – anodes were tested in this work. The current generation with each anode material was studied, operating as a microbial fuel cell (MFC) and microbial electrolysis cell (MEC). Two MFC inoculation strategies were tested: (i) fixed 10 Ω external resistance (ER) and (ii) poised anode potential (PA) of 200 mV versus Ag/AgCl. Once reproducible cycles were obtained in MFC operation, CB yielded the highest maximum current density, amounting to 15.9 A m−2. A slightly reduced start‐up time was observed for each anode with PA than ER. When the anodes were transferred to MEC operation, the maximum hydrogen production rate of 1.04 m3 H2 m−3 d−1 was obtained for CB.CONCLUSIONThis study helps in selecting anode material for BES, allowing a shortening of the start‐up time and improving its performance using different inoculation strategies and anode materials. Among all the anode materials employed in this study, CB and CF3 electrodes presented the best overall performance. © 2023 The Authors.

AbstractMonoclinic scheelite phase of n‐type bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) as a solar‐driven catalyst‐based photoanode is emerging as an optimistic approach for efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting because of features such as maximum light harvesting potential in visible spectrum, nontoxicity, earth abundance and stability under electrochemical conditions. The photoelectrochemical cell is a coherent and eco‐friendly technique to convert solar energy into a renewable energy source like hydrogen with zero carbon emissions. Here we fabricated nanocomposite‐based photoanodes RGO/CNT/BiVO4, RGO/CNT/Ni/BiVO4, RGO/CNT/Cu/BiVO4 and RGO/CNT/Ni/Cu/BiVO4 by layering reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to act as a transmission channel for fast transport of electrons with non‐noble electrocatalyst nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) nanoparticles and visible driven photoactive bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) nanomaterial on fluorine‐doped tin oxide by using electrodeposition and the drop casting method. The absorption edge was analyzed using ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy and Tauc plots, which clearly indicated a decreasing trend in the bandgap of BiVO4, thereby increasing the absorption spectrum with improved charge transfer rate. To scrutinize the proficiency of the electrochemical reaction during water splitting for hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction of photoanodes, electrochemical testing was done using linear sweep voltammetry, which distinctly showed that the fabricated photoanode RGO/CNT/Ni/Cu/BiVO4 possessed high photo‐response at an overpotential of 190 mV, with a lower Tafel slope of 119 mV dec−1. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).
