Published: March 2023

Introduction: Due to the pathophysiology of Sickle cell disease (SCD), several treatment strategies have been reviewed so far. One of the strategies is anti-sickling factors. This study was performed to determine the effect of methanolic extract of Cassia Fistula fruit on sickle cell sickling in vitro.
Methods: In this laboratory study, 25 people with sickle cell trait (SCT) ranging in age from 3 to 27 years, and 5 healthy people (as a control) participated. Methanolic extract of Cassia Fistula fruit was obtained by maceration using vacuum distillation (rotary evaporator). Samples with sickle cell trait were examined for sickle cell before and after extract interference, in hypoxic condition. Data analysis was performed by SPSS software version16.
Results: In this study, 64% of the participants were male and 36% were female. Sickling rates in 1:50, 1: 100 and 1: 200 dilutions were 24%, 37.8% and 46.1%, respectively. According to Wilcoxon Test, the rate of sickling in 1: 2 to 1: 100 dilutions was significantly reduced, relative to pre-interference conditions (P <0.05).
Conclusion: In the present study, it was shown that the methanolic extract of Cassia Fistula plant can prevent erythrocyte sickling in vitro, even with a dilution of 1: 100. According to previous studies, this plant has various therapeutic uses and is non-toxic. Therefore, this extract can be further studied in clinical and in vivo conditions as a useful and cost-effective therapeutic drug.

Culpa e prazer: imagens do consumo na cultura de massa
Authors: Rocha Everardo 
Published: March 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é estudar algumas das principais representações do consumo no senso comum e na cultura de massa. Essas representações tendem a classificar o consumo como algo hedonista, ou exercer sobre ele um discurso moralista, ou vê-lo como algo natural ou, ainda, como utilitário. Ao estudar as implica ções ideológicas dessas visões, este artigo pretende contribuir para o estudo do consumo como um sistema cultural central na sociedade moderno-contemporânea.
Palavras-chave: Cultura e consumo; cultura de massa e ideologia;

Consumo e risco: mídia e experiência do corpo na atualidade
Authors: Vaz Paulo 
Published: March 2023

Este artigo propõe a tese de que o conceito de risco orienta a concepção contemporânea de moralidade. A argumentação se organiza em dois eixos. Um é o diagnóstico de substituição da norma pelo risco como conceito básico por meio do qual os indivíduos na cultura ocidental pensam o poder de suas ações e, desse modo, habitam o tempo. Em outras palavras, esses conceitos orientam o modo como os indivíduos trabalham sobre seus corpos e estados mentais para conquistar um estado de ser no futuro tido como desejável. O segundo eixo aponta os fatores de mudança – a transformação recente do capitalismo e o desenvolvimento
tecnocientífico – e propõe os modos como eles afetam a produção de subjetividade. Espera-se, por fim, apontar alguns elementos que explicam a relevância recente dos meios de comunicação para a moralidade cotidiana.
Palavras-chave: Risco; norma; capitalismo; tecnologia; mídia.
ABSTRACT
This article presents the thesis that the concept of risk orients contemporary conceptions of morality. The argument is developed along two axes. First, the diagnostic of the substitution of norm by risk as the basic concept through which Western individuals conceive the power of their actions and therefore inhabit time. These concepts orient the ways in which individuals work upon their bodies and mental states in order to attain a desirable stateof being in the future. The second axe posits a recent transformation in capitalism and techno-scientific developments as agents in the production of subjectivity. Finally, the article elaborates key aspects of the recent relevance of communication media to quotidian morality.
Keywords: Risk; norm; capitalism; technology; media.
Fuga da invisibilidade: mutações semióticas na imagem publicitária
Authors: Klein Alberto 
Published: March 2023

Sem dúvida, o valor alcançado pela imagem em diversos suportes midiáticos tem como uma de suas conseqüências a visibilidade como um bem social e cultural. No caso da publicidade externa, a compulsão pela visibilidade transformou as cidades em entulhos de imagens fragmentadas e repetitivas. Instauraram-se, com isso, a repulsa e a anestesia do olhar, gerando paradoxalmente a invisibilidade pelo excesso. O que pretendemos, neste artigo, é, primeiro, discutir os problemas acerca da invisibilidade da imagem no espaço urbano e, em seguida, analisar
mutações semióticas que buscam a saída da invisibilidade. Para tanto, nos servimos do estudo de duas peças de outdoor que deslocam e rearticulam elementos ligados a textos mágicos e religiosos, e trazem novas implicações semióticas para o olhar na publicidade.
Palavras-chave: Publicidade; outdoor; semiótica; invisibilidade.
ABSTRACT
The valor that image has reached in its various mediatic supports has indeed rendered, as one of its consequences, the consideration of visibility as a cultural and social commodity. In the case of outdoorsadvertisement, the compulsion for visibility has transformed big cities into
a dump of fragmented and repetitive images. This has provoked repulse and the anesthesia of the eyes, paradoxically causing invisibility. Our intention,
in this article, is first to discuss the problems of invisibility of the image in the urban space and, second, to analyze the semiotic changes in search for visibility. Therefore, we study two cases of billboards which dislocate and rearticulate elements linked to magical and religious texts
and undergo new semiotic implications for the gaze in the context of advertisement.

Scharakteryzowano skład i dojrzałość rozproszonej materii organicznej w warstwach inoceramowych jednostki dukielskiej na obszarze polskiego fragmentu Karpat zewnętrznych. Podstawą dokonanej charakterystyki były wyniki obserwacji mikroskopowych w świetle odbitym, połączonych z analizą refleksyjności witrynitu. Uzupełniająco na wybranych próbkach przeprowadzono pirolizę Rock-Eval. Prace terenowe objęły 23 odsłonięcia, z których pobrano i przebadano w sumie 85 próbek, reprezentujących warstwy ciśniańskie, łupkowskie oraz – odsłaniające się w zachodniej części obszaru badań – warstwy inoceramowe (nierozdzielone). Skład macerałowy przebadanych próbek jest stosunkowo monotonny. W analizowanych skałach dominuje materiał witrynitowo-inertynitowy, zwykle z niewielkim dodatkiem macerałów grupy liptynitu. Macerały grupy witrynitu reprezentowane są przez większe, przeważnie wydłużone fragmenty kolotelinitu oraz drobne fragmenty witrodetrynitu. Ich łączny udział sięga maksymalnie 14% obj., przy czym zwykle nie przekracza 1% obj. Obserwowane macerały grupy inertynitu to w głównej mierze ostrokrawędziste fragmenty semifuzynitu i fuzynitu oraz drobny inertodetrynit, których udział najczęściej nie przekracza 2% obj. Macerały grupy liptynitu są najmniej licznie reprezentowaną grupą. Obserwuje się głównie alginit (lamalginit) oraz rzadziej sporynit, kutynit i liptodetrynit. Udział materii organicznej (wyznaczony na podstawie parametru TOC) mieści się w zakresie od 0,3% do 5,6%, przy czym w przypadku ¾ próbek nie przekracza 2%. Jest to materia organiczna reprezentująca III i IV typ kerogenu. Dojrzałość materii organicznej określono na podstawie pomiarów refleksyjności witrynitu (Ro) oraz za pomocą parametru Tmax. Oba parametry wskazały na stopień przeobrażenia termicznego badanych utworów na poziomie okna ropnego – od jego wczesnej fazy, poprzez fazę główną, aż do fazy późnej. Obserwuje się regionalny trend zmienności opisywanych parametrów Ro i Tmax, wskazujący na wyższą dojrzałość utworów w części wschodniej badanego obszaru. Przebadane próbki charakteryzują się najczęściej niskim potencjałem generacyjnym i nie są dobrymi skałami macierzystymi.
ANALYSIS OF A TWO-CRYSTAL DELAY LINE FOR FEMTOSECOND PULSES OF THE X-RAY FREE ELECTRON LASER
Authors: Bushuev V. A. , Petrov I. A. 
Published: March 2023

Using the methods of statistical optics the formation of delayed X-ray pulses in the diffraction reflection of an incident pulse with an arbitrary degree of temporal coherence from a system of parallel crystals with different lattice periods is considered. The results are of interest for constructing delay lines in experiments with a time resolution of the pump-and-probe type and realizing of the self-seeding mode to increase the degree of temporal coherence of the X-ray free-electron laser radiation.
A rigorous theory of dynamic diffraction in Bragg geometry is applied to the diffraction reflection of short X-ray pulses from a system of two parallel crystals with arbitrary thicknesses, and also, for a system of two pairs of parallel crystals. The dependence of the delay time and the intensity of the delayed pulses on the thickness of the crystals and the distances between them are analyzed. Since the pulses from the X-ray free electron laser have high spatial coherence, i.e. a small angular divergence, but very poor temporal coherence, special attention is paid to the effect of the degree of temporal coherence on the width of the energy spectrum of the incident pulses and on the influence of this width on the intensity of the delayed pulses.

Published: March 2023

Due to the proliferation of the COVID-19 virus, a health protocol encouraging social isolation was implemented. However, teens continued to violate this rule, resulting in premarital sex, and young women became pregnant due to unsafe sexual activity. The study aimed to explore the transitional lived experiences of teenage mothers from being students to teen moms in the context of the new normal educational setting. The study utilized a transcendental phenomenological research approach to investigate and analyze the individual activities and behaviors of young moms. For qualitative data collection and triangulation-based data analysis, the researcher employed the live interview and participants' observations that were then recorded via audio and video. The study consisted of five research participants selected using the method of purposive sampling with the inclusion criteria of one teenage mother who were presently enrolled in school and two teenage mothers who had a child or were pregnant during the study's conduct. Using thematic analysis and data triangulation, the study's findings revealed three major themes.

Research on Side-Slope Monitoring by Integrating Terrestrial Laser Scanning and UAV-Based Photogrammetry
Authors: Wang Yunchuan , Duan Ping , Li Jia , Zhang Zhike 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Side-slope deformation monitoring compares monitoring data from the same area over different periods and measures the deformation variables. Because of the gaps and coarseness of side-slope monitoring data, a side-slope monitoring method that integrates terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)–based photogrammetry point clouds is proposed, aiming to solve the problem of slope monitoring in complex scenes. First, TLS and UAV-based photogrammetry point clouds are acquired. Then, the two types of point clouds are registered by an iterative closest point algorithm. Next, the data gap areas in the TLS point cloud are detected, and a gap-filling method is used to integrate the UAV-based photogrammetry point cloud with the TLS point cloud. Finally, side-slope deformation is detected based on a multiscale model-to-model cloud comparison algorithm. A side slope in Chenggong, Kunming, China, is taken as an example. The surface deformation of the side slope was monitored during January and June 2021. The experimental results show that the registration errors of the two-phase integration point cloud are 0.039 m and 0.035 m. The root mean square errors of the four ground checkpoints are 0.033 m and 0.038 m. Finally, the side slope is found to have deformed and formed a main deformation area, which shows that this side slope was in an active state.
Analysis of Casing String Running Characteristics in Negative-Displacement Horizontal Wells

Published: March 2023

Summary
By creating a reverse deflection, negative-displacement horizontal well technology can successfully address the issue of construction challenges brought on by too little displacement in front of the horizontal well target. However, conventional horizontal well casing string running models are unsuitable for negative-displacement horizontal wells. This is because conventional horizontal well models assume that the casing string is in contact with the lower side of the borehole, which is inconsistent with the actual situation in negative-displacement horizontal wells. In this study, we examine the effects of fluid viscous resistance and internal and external fluid interaction forces on the running of the casing string using the Gaussian method and the complementary surface equivalence method. Based on the bending beam theory, we establish a deflection model to examine the interaction between the casing string and the borehole wall in the bending section. The friction and hookload calculation models of each well section and the strength check models are also established. The calculation results show that, according to the aforementioned model, there is an average error of 7.5% between the measured data and the calculated frictional force of the H1 and H2 negative-displacement horizontal wells. This error is within the reasonable range of field application and attests to the validity of the theoretical model. Finally, we study the influence of running factors on running ability and strength of casing string using the control variable method. The results indicate that the weight of the casing string is positively correlated with the variation law of the running ability of the casing string, the maximum offset distance and the length of the horizontal section are negatively correlated with the running ability of the casing string, and the borehole curvature is positively correlated with the variation law of the connection stress of the internal and external threads of the casing string. Therefore, in the process of running the casing string in negative-displacement horizontal wells, using heavier casing string and reducing the maximum offset distance and horizontal section length can improve the running ability of the casing string.

Abstract
Objectives:
Pythium insidiosum is the causative agent of pythiosis, a difficult-to-treat condition, in humans and animals worldwide. Biological information about this filamentous microorganism is sparse. Genomes of several P. insidiosum strains were sequenced using the Illumina short-read NGS platform, producing incomplete genome sequence data. PacBio long-read platform was employed to obtain a better-quality genome of Pythium insidiosum. The obtained genome data could promote basic research on the pathogen’s biology and pathogenicity.
Data description:
gDNA sample was extracted from the P. insidiosum strain Pi-S for whole-genome sequencing by PacBio long-read NGS platform. Raw reads were assembled using CANU (v2.1), polished using ARROW (SMRT link version 5.0.1), aligned with the original raw PacBio reads using pbmm2 (v1.2.1), consensus sequence checked using ARROW, and gene predicted using Funannotate pipeline (v1.7.4). The genome completion was assessed using BUSCO (v4.0.2). As the result, 840 contigs (maximum length: 1.3 Mb; N50: 229.9 Kb; L50: 70) were obtained. Sequence assembly showed a genome size of 66.7 Mb (178x coverage; 57.2% G-C content) that contained 20,375 ORFs. A BUSCO-based assessment revealed 85.5% genome completion. All assembled contigs sequences have been deposited in the DDBJ database under the accession numbers BBXB02000001 - BBXB02000840.

Abstract
Objectives:
Pythium insidiosum causes a difficult-to-treat infectious condition called pythiosis, which comes with high morbidity and mortality. So far, genome data of at least 10 P. insidiosum strains, primarily classified in the phylogenetic clades I and II, have been sequenced using various next-generation sequencing platforms. Here, the MGI short-read platform was employed to obtain genome data of 2 clade-III strains of P. insidiosum from patients in Thailand and the United States. This work is a part of our attempt to generate a comprehensive genome database from diverse strains of P. insidiosum.

A 150-bp paired-end library was prepared from a gDNA sample of P. insidiosum strains Pi057C3 and Pi050C3 (also known as ATCC90586) to generate draft genome sequences using an MGISEQ-2000RS sequencer. As a result, for the strain Pi057C3, we obtained a 42.5-Mb assembled genome (164x coverage) comprising 14,134 contigs, N50 of 241, L50 of 45,748, 57.6% CG content, and 12,147 ORFs. For the strain Pi050C3, we received a 43.3-Mb draft genome (230x coverage) containing 14,511 contigs, N50 of 245, L50 of 45,208, 57.7% CG content, and 12,249 ORFs. The genome sequences have been deposited in the NCBI/DDBJ databases under the accession numbers JAKCXM000000000.1 (strain Pi057C3) and JAKCXL000000000.1 (strain Pi050C3).

Abstract
In this paper, we extend the notion of LA-semihypergroups (resp. Hv-LA-semigroups) to neutro-LA-semihypergroups (respectively, neutro-Hv-LA-semigroups). Anti-LA-semihypergroups (respectively, anti-Hv-LA-semigroups) are studied and investigated some of their properties. We show that these new concepts are di fferent from classical concepts by several examples. These are particular cases of the classical algebraic structures generalized to neutroalgebraic structures and antialgebraic structures (Smarandache, 2019).

It focuses on key technologies such as the creation and management of BIM-based fabricated component library, the analysis and optimization of fabricated structure BIM model, the application of BIM technology in fabricated structure construction simulation and construction information feedback. Analyze the existing assembly structure design process, design standards and design methods, propose a BIM-based assembly structure design method, change the design idea from the whole to the component elements, and use the design method for prefabricated components. Taking the W prefabricated component library as a starting point, select the prefabricated components of the component library for assembly design to form a BIM model with a complete structure. Adjust and optimize the BIM model, and finally form a reasonable design plan. This BIM type of product includes production, transportation and assembly construction. Develop prefabricated buildings and realize the modernization of the construction industry. Although the cost of prefabricated construction is higher than that of traditional buildings, it also brings significant comprehensive benefits. Secondly, based on the status quo of China's construction industry, a detailed analysis of the impact of different modular components, component combination schemes and other elements of prefabricated buildings on project costs, combined with actual engineering cases, detailed the actual effects of cost optimization. In short, if choose a reasonable combination plan and component elements, we can effectively control the construction price of the construction project and improve the construction quality.
