Capitania do Pará: emergência da questão da população e debate sobre regimes demográficos restritos (Paper 344)
Authors: Souto Cardoso Alanna , Acevedo Marin Rosa 
Published: March 2023

O presente artigo busca efetuar uma análise sobre o processo de ocupação e povoamento da Capitania do Pará, no momento que emerge a questão “população” no âmbito da arte de governar em meados do século XVIII, levando em consideração os aspectos socioeconômicos e demográficos regionais que alicerçaram e contextualizaram a problematização dos regimes demográficos restritos no Pará colonial. Nessa linha, apontam-se algumas considerações a respeito das possibilidades de regimes demográficos restritos nos contextos dos domínios nacionais em meados do século XIX e da expansão de fronteiras em meados do século XX. Para tal reflexão, utilizou-se como perspectiva teórica metodológica a história da população e a demografia histórica com base em autores amazônicos, nacionais e internacionais que se debruçam nas análises sobre os regimes demográficos. Palavras-chave: Capitania do Pará. População. Ocupação. Povoamento. Regimes demográficos restritos.
Mulheres pescadoras: a pesca de camarão na comunidade Rio Guajará de Beja (município de Abaetetuba-Pa) (Paper 549)
Authors: Belo Elda Baia , Tavares Francinei Bentes 
Published: March 2023

Este artigo vem tratar do trabalho de mulheres pescadoras de camarão (Macrobrachium amazonicum) na comunidade Rio Guajará de Beja, no município de Abaetetuba, Pará, especificamente em relação às suas práticas e experiências na pesca do camarão nas proximidades praianas ou na “beira”. A metodologia utilizada foi a história oral, pesquisa bibliográfica e entrevista semiestruturada para a coleta de dados com algumas pescadoras da localidade. A pesquisa obteve como resultado que as mulheres pescadoras destacam-se na produção do crustáceo, por terem um conhecimento empírico em relação a esta atividade, passado de geração para geração. Deste modo, elas têm um papel fundamental no desenvolvimento da atividade na comunidade, pois além de participarem de todo processo até a comercialização ou consumo, ainda desenvolvem suas atividades laborais do lar. Na comunidade, essa atividade é realizada quase que exclusivamente por mulheres, já que os homens participam da pesca industrial em “alto-mar”.Palavras-chave: Pesca artesanal. Mulheres. Gênero.

‘Action Philosophy’: Philosophical Inquiry, Professional Development and Organizational Change
Authors: Oliverio Stefano 
Published: March 2023

In the present paper, I will explore whether and in what sense philosophical inquiry can be deployed in organizations as a pedagogical vehicle to promote reflective professionalism and a learning-oriented approach to organizational practices. This investigation will unfold in two steps: first, it will be argued that the contemporary “practical turn” in philosophy has enabled us to rediscover its intimate relationship with education and, thereby, has turned it into a possible pivot for the reconstruction of organizational practices; and, secondly, rather than reading “philosophy in organizations” from the perspective of philosophical counselling I will propose a pedagogical hypothesis that dovetails – under the aegis of the thought of John Dewey – Donald Schön and Chris Argyris’s theory of action with Matthew Lipman and Ann Sharp’s approach of the community of philosophical inquiry. I will maintain that the latter may represent a major resource to promote a transformation of the meaning perspectives of organizations and of practitioners therein working along the lines indicated by Schön and Argyris.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Identifying customer requirements (CRs) plays a critical role in developing service-providing methods. Mobile Applications (MAs), as one of the most efficient service-providing channels, have made extreme competition in service oriented industries. Using the CRs, technical requirements (TRs), and a mathematical multi-objective programming model, this study tries to present a flexible framework for developing a MA in a real suty in tourism industry. The structure encompasses these steps: 1. Extracting CRs using a literature review and in-depth interviews, 2. Calculating importance weights for the extracted CRs using the Best-Worst Method (BWM), 3. Determining the appropriate tools for satisfying the CRs and TRs-related costs using expert opinions, 4. Calculating the real importance weights of each TR by considering their role in satisfying CRs using Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method, 5. Implementing a fuzzy goal programming to estimate how much budget a company needs to meet a certain percentage of user satisfaction. The proposed structure in this study can be applied by service providers to optimize their budget with desired customer satisfaction levels, provide unique TRs, and contribute a cost structure (both real and optimal) for creating, developing, and improving a MA.
Acquirer’s carbon risk, host country environmental regulations, cross-border M&amp;A and carbon emissions: Evidence from China
Authors: Guo Jianquan , Cheng He 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Using a sample of 870 completed M&A deals conducted by developed-country acquirers from 2002-2021, this paper examines the following questions at the country and city levels, respectively: First, whether China’s environmental regulation system i.e., government environmental regulations (GER) and civil environmental regulations (CER), has an impact on the M&A location choices of developed-country acquirers and the moderating role that the acquirers’ carbon risks will play in the process of the above impact. Second, whether the carbon risks of acquirers from developed countries entering China have an impact on carbon emissions in target regions, and the moderating role would be played by the environmental regulation system in the target regions in the process of the above impact. Our main conclusions are as follows: First, in terms of the deterrent effect on developed-country acquirers, country-level environmental regulation systems are more significant deterrents to M&A in target regions than city-level ones. Second, higher carbon risks of acquirers significantly increase carbon emissions at the country level, however, this effect is not significant at the city level; moreover, neither country nor city-level environmental regulations can weaken the effect of higher carbon risk of the acquirers on carbon emissions in the target area. Our results reflect the characteristics of China’s authoritarian environmental regulation system: First, environmental regulations at the country level often have a greater deterrent effect than those at the city level, Second, environmental regulations in China suffer from the problem of “loud thunder but little rain”, i.e., although environmental regulations have many measures and thus a high deterrent effect, the results are poor.
Aggregation of amyloid beta and lysozyme in the presence of fasciculin 2 and KLVFF
Authors: Javadi Atefeh , Emadi Saeed , Pakpour Maryam 
Published: March 2023

Abstract

Protein deposits in the forms of fibrillar and/or amorphous structures can be detected in diseases such as systemic amyloidosis or neurodegenerative diseases. The formation of these aggregates might either be triggered by processes such as aging and/or environmental factors (e.g. life style) that ultimately, through protein folding/misfolding lead to aggregation. To find a way to delay of completely inhibit the formation of these aggregates, considering their great impact in human population, is of immediate concern. In this work, we examined the effects of fasciculin II (Fas II), a short, highly toxic peptide in the venom of Mamba snakes, and KLVFF, a short synthetic peptide, derived from 16-20 residues of Aβ42, on the aggregation of Aβ42 and lysozyme. The aggregates were detected by techniques such as fluorescence spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, electrophoresis and rheology. Our results showed that Fas II lowered the aggregation potency of both lysozyme and Aβ. We also found that despite KLVFF showed no significant effects on lysozyme aggregation, it could reduce Aβ42 aggregation considerably. Each of the above-mentioned experiments were also performed after proteolytic cleavage of lysozyme and Aβ by trypsin that showed also showed decreases on lysozyme and Aβ42 aggregation. We also, examined rheological methodology to quantify the aggregates. We concluded that rheology could also be considered as a technique to be used in aggregation studies. This study provides another evidence for the using of short length peptides as candidate drugs in the treatment of amyloidogenic diseases.
Multi-objective optimization of a self-propelled capsule for small-bowel endoscopy considering the influence of intestinal environment
Authors: Zhu Jiapeng , Liao Maolin , Chavez Joseph Paez , Liu Yang , Li Tingrui 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This work studies the control optimization of a self-propelled capsule moving in the small intestine for endoscopic diagnosis. For this purpose, we combine an existing capsule model with the intestinal peristalsis and its internal environment in order to gain a better understanding of dynamics of the self-propelled capsule. For the optimization study, a number of different realistic targets are considered, including the capsule's average progression speed, the impact force acting on the small intestine and the capsule's energy consumption. In addition, the uncertainty of the small intestine environment is taking into account by varying its internal radius. In this setting, we develop a multi-objective optimization strategy based on NSGA-II, Monte Carlo, and Six-Sigma algorithms considering both the control and structural model parameters, such as excitation frequency and impact stiffness. The effectiveness of the proposed optimization strategy is demonstrated via extensive numerical simulations with the consideration of a wide range of realistic scenarios.
The interplay of processing-related influences on the formation of volume holographic gratings in a free- surface epoxy-based recording material
Authors: Sabel-Grau Tina 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Understanding the formation processes of holographic gratings in polymers as a function of material composition and processing is important for the development of new materials for holography and associated applications. Among the processing-related factors that affect grating formation in volume holographic recording material, pre-exposure, pre-baking, and dark storage, as well as the associated variations in layer thickness and composition, are usually underestimated. This study highlights the influence and interaction of these factors and shows that they should not be neglected. This is of particular importance for samples with a free surface. Here, one such epoxy-based free-surface material is investigated. To determine the influence of pre-baking on the holographic grating formation as well as on the achieved refractive index contrast, angular resolved analysis of volume holographic phase gratings is applied through point-by-point scanning of the local material response. Grating characteristics are determined by comparison with simulations based the rigorous coupled wave theory. Thus, the optimal dose for pre-baking can be determined, as well as the optimal exposure time, depending on this dose. The influence of dark storage on the material response is investigated over a period of 12 weeks and shows a strong dependence on the deposited energy density.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the rate of postoperative urinary retention (POUR) and to identify factors associated with POUR of severe pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted for 194 patients who were diagnosed with severe POP. Among them, 152 patients underwent total pelvic floor reconstruction and 42 patients underwent traditional vaginal hysterectomy and vaginal wall repair. POUR was defined as a need for the post-void residual urine volume was＞150mL who should be catheterization subsequent to the removal of the indwelling urethral catheter.
Results: POUR was reported in 51 women (26.3%). The incidence of POUR was 28.3% of patients who underwent the total pelvic floor reconstruction. And was 19.0% after traditional vaginal hysterectomy and vaginal wall repair. Crude analysis revealed a significant association between the following variables and the risk of POUR: Aa, Ba, C by POP-Q exam, POP-Q staging, diabetes mellitus, Preoperative post-void residual volume (PVR) , bladder neck mobility, preoperative incontinence (P < 0.05) . POP-Q Staging (odds ratio, 4.79; 95% confidence interval, 1.025-22.383; P=0.046), PVR (odds ratio,1.054; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-1.079; P＜0.01), bladder neck mobility (odds ratio, 1.078; 95% confidence interval,1.021-1.138; P = 0.007) and complaint of incontinence (odds ratio, 2.686; 95% confidence interval,1.101-6.553; P = 0.03) were identified as the significant predictor of POUR In the logistic regression analysis.
Conclusion: POP-Q staging, Preoperative post-void residual volume (PVR), bladder neck mobility and complaint of incontinence were significant predictors for POUR after severe pelvic organ prolapse surgery.

Published: March 2023

Abstract

Background Majority of pregnant women experience pain and discomfort due to musculoskeletal conditions; with over a quarter experiencing some disability; all of which reduce quality of life during pregnancy. Community-based non-pharmacological interventions are more affordable, accessible, and acceptable, and have the capacity to reduce inequalities. Objectives To summarise community-based non-pharmacological interventions and determine their effectiveness for improving pain, disability, and quality of life amongst pregnant women with musculoskeletal conditions. Search Strategy Twelve bibliographic databases (and reference list of relevant systematic reviews) were searched from inception until March 2022. Selection Criteria All primary studies of community-based non-pharmacological interventions for pregnant women with musculoskeletal conditions reported in English which investigated pain, disability and quality of life were included. Data Collection and Analysis Data were extracted using modified Cochrane’s data extraction template. Studies were appraised using Cochrane Collaboration’s risk of bias tool. Narrative synthesis was used to summarise findings. This review registration number with PROSPERO is CRD42020189535. Main Results 33 studies involving 4,930 pregnant women with low back pain, pelvic pain, and lumbopelvic pain. Osteopathic manipulation plus standard obstetric care produced significantly superior reduction in pain intensity and disability than sham ultrasound therapy plus standard obstetric care amongst pregnant women with low back pain (moderate level of evidence). There was limited or conflicting evidence for other results. Acupuncture was more effective than placebo in reducing disability/sick leave but not pain intensity and quality of life. There was little or no added benefit of craniosacral therapy to standard obstetric care. Exercise and spinal manipulative therapy were equally effective, and better than no treatment. Home versus in-clinic exercise and aquatic versus land-based exercise were similar in effectiveness with conflicting evidence when compared with standard obstetric care. Wide flexible lumbopelvic belts or the addition of textured sacral pad was better than thin rigid lumbopelvic belts, belts without padding, or no belt. Kinesiotaping may not be better than placebo. Effectiveness of self-management programmes was inconsistent. Conclusions Community-based non-pharmacological interventions were better than no treatment and were better or as effective as standard obstetric care in improving pain intensity, disability, and quality of life.
WITHDRAWN: Nanofluid-based wooden imprinted membranes with precise-designed nanocages for ultrafast and super-sensitive recognition and separation
Authors: Ma Faguang , Zhen Jingjing , Wu Yilin 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
By top-down method, the nanofluidic layers were polymerized in situ in the basswood pore of the in-situ growth of MOFs, and the nanofluidic layers were combined with molecular imprinting to prepare borate affinity sol-gel-imprinting composite membrane-based MOF/wood and nanofluidic layers for the adsorption and separation of shikimic acid (SA). For the first time, nanofluidic layers were polymerized in situ within the basswood pores of in-situ-grown MOFs, nanofluidic layers were combined with molecular imprinting to prepare boronate affinity sol-gel imprinting composite membrane-based MOF/wood and nanofluidic layers for the adsorption and separation of SA. Since MOFs previously grown in situ on basswood provided many accessible imprinting sites, coupled with the high permeability of the nanofluidic layer, the resulting imprinted membrane exhibited good adsorption capacity (72.5 mg g-1), selectivity coefficient (greater than 4.0) and ultrahigh water flux (more than 120000 L/m2 h), which solves the "trade-off" effect between membrane flux and selectivity. In addition, the synthesis process of the prepared BSISMs is not complicated and pollution-free. Finally, the above experimental results and the green synthesis process indicate that our synthesis method of BSISMs has great potential for application in selective separation, chemical industry, environment, biomedicine and other fields.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Purpose: To develop and validate a nomogram to predict overall survival in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC).
Patients and methods: This retrospective study included 218 patients with mPC patients who were treated at Guangxi Medical University Cancer Hospital from October 2013 to April 2022. Patients were grouped according to hepatitis B virus infection status. Cox proportional hazard regression identified prognostic factors independently associated with overall survival. Results were used to build a nomogram, which was assessed by internal validation using bootstrap resampling.
Results: Patients in the HBV-positive group showed significantly better overall survival than patients in the HBV-negative group (P=0.041). Overall survival was independently associated with the following factors: HBV infection status, sex, chemotherapy, metastatic sites, the combined index of hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet(HALP),neutrophil-albumin ratio(NAR), as well as levels of CA125. The nomogram showed good predictive power, with an area under curve(AUC) of time-dependent receiver operating characteristic of 0.812, and calibration curves, decision curve analysis indicated good calibration and clinical usefulness for the nomogram to predict overall survival of mPC patients.
Conclusion: A nomogram based on HBV infection status and inflammatory-nutritional markers may help predict overall survival of mPC patients and guide personalized clinical treatment.

Authors: Wang Feng-Yu , Ren Panpan 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
By developing a new technique called the bi-coupling argument, we estimate the relative entropy between different diffusion processes in terms of the distances of initial distributions and drift-diffusion coefficients. As an application, the log-Harnack inequality is established for McKean-Vlasov SDEs with multiplicative distribution dependent noise, which appears for the first time in the literature.

Published: March 2023

Abstract

Aims Phosphorus (P)-binding colloids (1–450 nm) have been identified as highly mobile and bioavailable P in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the bioavailability of varied colloidal P (Pcoll) sizes remains unclear, especially in situ soils. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differential contribution of various-sized colloids to plant available P in the rhizosphere and the phosphatase response patterns.
Methods In the 45-day rice rhizotron experiment, we applied different size fractioned biogas slurry (BS) colloids with the same total P concentration, including nano-sized colloids (1–20 nm), fine-sized colloids (20–220 nm), and medium-sized colloids (220–450 nm). Colloidal P organic and inorganic fractions, colloidal minerals were investigated in corresponding treatments. Soil zymography was performed during the cultivation period, to examine the processes of enzymic hydrolysis in temporal and spatial dynamics. The biomass and P content of roots and shoots were also recorded.
Results The relative bioavailability of colloidal P (RBAcoll) was the highest (64%) for nano-sized BS colloids addition. The phosphatase activities and hotspot areas were found to be significantly 1) correlated with RBAcoll, 2) increased by the colloid-free (truly dissolved P) and nano-sized BS fractions, and 3) affected by the plant growth stage.
Conclusion We found that the addition of nano-sized BS colloids increased P uptake by plants and improved the Pcoll bioavailability in the rhizosphere, in which the phosphatase-catalyzed hydrolysis of organic Pcoll played an important role. Nano-sized BS-derived colloids may be an effective substitute for the use of liquid phosphorus fertilizer.
