Asymptotic behavior of solutions to coupled semilinear parabolic systems with boundary degeneracy
Authors: Jing Xinxin , Nie Yuanyuan , Wang Chunpeng 
Published: August 2023

This article concerns the asymptotic behavior of solutions to coupled semilinear parabolic systems with boundary degeneracy. For the problem in a bounded domain, it is proved that there exist both nontrivial global and blowing-up solutions if the degeneracy is not strong, while any nontrivial solution must blow up in a finite time if the degeneracy is enough strong. For the problem in an unbounded domain, blowing-up theorems of Fujita type are established. It is shown that the critical Fujita curve is determined by the strength of degeneracy. In particular, it is infinite if the degeneracy is enough strong.

aplicação do sistema progressivo de cumprimento de penas privativas de Liberdade e as saídas temporárias
Authors: Reis da Silva Júnior Carlos 
Published: August 2023

De sua origem simples, o cumprimento de pena privativa de liberdade transforma-se em vários sistemas durante o passar do tempo e merecem destaque os sistemas Pensilvânico ou de Filadélfia, Auburniano e o Progressivo ou Inglês. Com a adoção do sistema progressivo, com as devidas e necessárias atualizações, fica evidente que a principal finalidade da privação da liberdade é proporcionar meios para que o condenado retorne ao convívio social. Como forma de efetivação e na busca dessa reinserção social, a Lei de Execução Penal prevê a possibilidade de o sentenciado sair do estabelecimento prisional em algumas situações especificas e com o preenchimento obrigatório condições objetivas e subjetivas.

Assédio moral no ambiente bancário
Authors: Micheli César Augusto , Lopes Luiz Henrique 
Published: August 2023

A conduta do assédio moral é instituto que subsiste desde os primórdios da sociedade, eis que se caracteriza como um meio de coação social e, portanto, mostra-se presente com mais facilidade nos casos em que se vislumbram a questão da desigualdade social e do autoritarismo. As atitudes comportamentais dos empregados podem acarretar diversos danos psíquicos, que muitas vezes se mostram desmotivados por não terem alcançado a meta almejada e, pelo receio de ficarem desempregados, acabam estendendo sua jornada de trabalho, de modo a alcançar os objetivos pretendidos pela instituição financeira.

O artigo é uma tentativa de interpretação do momento atual em que o mundo atravessa a Pandemia de COVID-19. A chave interpretativa construída pelo autor baseia-se na leitura benjaminiana que entende o capitalismo como religião, para pensar o caráter sacrificial da sociedade pandêmica. Ao final, o autor apresenta um prognóstico das formas de gestão da sociedade infecciosa que vem sendo gestadas durante este período que, na perspectiva do autor, intensificam as saídas autoritárias, conservadoras e violentas que são inerentes ao funcionamento normal do capital.
Les constitutions des instituts religieux et le droit canonique depuis le concile Vatican II : repères chronologiques
Authors: Tawil Emmanuel 
Published: August 2023

L’aggiornamento des constitutions des instituts religieux voulu par le concile Vatican II a mis parfois plus de 10 ans avant d’aboutir à l’adoption de textes définitifs. Cette période, relativement longue, a donné lieu non seulement à une efflorescence de documents juridiques, parfois très créatifs, mais aussi à une réflexion sur le sens de la vie religieuse et le charisme des fondateurs. Lorsque le code de droit canonique de 1983 est entré en vigueur, les instituts avaient le plus souvent déjà dépassé cette phase transitoire.
De la pauvreté à la mise à jour des Constitutions de l’Ordre des Frères Mineurs
Authors: Buffon Giuseppe 
Published: August 2023

Avec l’analyse de la mise à jour (aggiornamento) du texte des constitutions de l’Ordre des Frères Mineurs en 1971, l’étude entend aborder un changement d’identité fondamental pour l’histoire franciscaine : du concept de pauvreté, relatif à la dimension matérielle, juridique et patrimoniale à celui de minorité, concernant plutôt une attitude intérieure, une posture de marginalité spirituelle avant d’être sociale et économique. L’analyse de la métamorphose du texte des constitutions sera suivie par l’examen des quelques réunions importantes, notamment parmi les provinciaux d’Europe du Nord (à Noordwijkerhout et à Exaten), au cours desquelles il a été décidé de passer de la considération de la question pastorale à la prise en compte de la question de l’identité.
Miroir des attentes et de la mise en oeuvre de Perfectae caritatis et d’Ecclesiae sanctae : La Vie des communautés religieuses et l’adaptation de la vie consacrée
Authors: Auger Claude , Gagnon Louis-Joseph 
Published: August 2023

Cet article conjoint est issu d’une communication présentée le 23 septembre 2022 au congrès annuel de la Société canadienne d’histoire de l’Église catholique sur la réforme des constitutions des communautés religieuses à l’aune du concile Vatican II. Il s’appuie sur un dépouillement des articles de la Vie des communautés religieuses (VCR). Fondée en 1942, la VCR est la principale revue de langue française dédiée au phénomène de la vie consacrée en Amérique du Nord. Elle constitue un matériau de première importance pour mesurer l’impact des changements provoqués par le concile Vatican II dans les congrégations religieuses du Québec et du Canada francophone. De1942 à 1980, les articles attestent d’une attention subtile, mais soutenue, aux constitutions qui sont approchées sous l’angle prédominant de la théologie. Mais c’est avant tout le contexte théologique de l’époque – l’adaptation et la rénovation de la vie religieuse aux temps modernes, titre repris par le décret Perfectae caritatis – qui fournit la clé de lecture permettant de faire le pont avec la réforme des constitutions des instituts religieux dans les articles publiés par la VCR.

Published: August 2023

The developments in science and technology have made it possible to use biometrics in applications where it is required to establish or confirm the identity of individuals. Among all possible biometric characteristics, the use of iris texture for recognition of individuals has been proven to be highly reliable. However, existing iris prediction systems have suffered from inability to handle more constrained acquisition (processing non-ideal iris images), high processing time and inappropriate parameter settings which usually results in inaccurate segmentation and poor classification results. This research therefore developed an improved segmentation and classification algorithms for iris-based ethnicity prediction system featuring the three major tribes in Nigeria. Six hundred (600) iris images from three major tribes in Nigeria (Yoruba, Hausa and Ibo) were locally captured for the database. Genetic Algorithm based Geodesic Active Contour (GAGAC) and standard Geodesic Active Control (GAC) were used for iris segmentation while Standard Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Galactic Swarm Optimisation SVM (GSOSVM) was used for iris classification. GAGAC and GSOSVM were used in the designing of the iris-based ethnicity prediction system at segmentation and classification stage. The developed iris-based ethnicity prediction system gave an improved predictive performance over the conventional one. The developed system can be used in different areas where higher security authentication is required.

Published: August 2023

Aim: To evaluate the risk-return performance of residential property investment between 2001 and 2021 in Lagos, Nigeria.
Study Design: Quantitative Survey research.
Place and Duration of Study: Eti-osa and Somolu LGA, Lagos State, 2022.
Methodology: Survey with structured questionnaire collected primary data on non-owner-occupied residential property investments in Somolu and Eti-Osa, Lagos, Nigeria. Estate surveying and valuation firm provided the data. Analysis used descriptive statistics (charts, tables, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation) and trend analysis over 20 years (2001-2021) to assess risk-return performance. This included rental index, rental growth rate, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation.
Results: In Eti-Osa, duplexes had a high expected return of 54.04% with a risk of 18.58. Bungalows and flats had lower returns of 44.61% and 41.8% with risks of 16.38 and 15.39, respectively. Duplexes performed best with a coefficient of variation of 0.34, followed by bungalows and flats at 0.37 each. In Somolu, self-contained and duplex properties performed best with returns of 19.12% and 19.08% but higher risks of 14.82 and 17.08. Bungalows and tenement buildings had returns of 15.5% and 15.32% with lower risks of 10.43 and 8.25. Self-contained apartments had the lowest return of 13.31% and low risk of 6.57, performing best in risk-return with coefficient of variation of 0.49. Overall, Eti-Osa properties performed better than Somolu.
Conclusion: The study shows that rental prices experienced an overall upward trend, with flats and bungalows exhibiting higher rental growth rates compared to other property types. Appreciation rates varied across property categories, with duplexes in Eti-Osa and bungalows in Somolu showing higher average annual appreciation rates. Anticipated yield and risk varied among property types, with duplexes having the highest anticipated yield but also the highest level of risk. Therefore, this study recommends that investors prioritize flats and bungalows in Eti-Osa and Somolu, Lagos for higher rental growth and appreciation. Evaluate duplex risks, as they offer greater returns but entail elevated risk.

Published: August 2023

Background: Advances in physiological data, clinical research and medico-economic findings have led to considering obesity as a pathogenic situation, even a real disease. Measures should be taken to stop the spread of this pathology associated with abnormalities in glucose and lipid metabolism. Thus, a plant species was tested to assess its effect on lipid parameters.
Method: the aqueous extract of the plant Corchorus olitorius L. was tested on female rats subjected to a hyperlipidic diet and the biochemical parameters were evaluated. In addition, a phytochemical characterization was carried out.
Results: The high fat diet led to overeating and weight gain. The aqueous extract of Corchorus olitorius L. contains bioactive molecules, which favored the reduction of plasma and tissue levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and an increase in HDL levels in rats subjected to a hyperlipidic diet.
Conclusion: The aqueous extract of Corchorus olitorius L. has beneficial effects on lipid disorders.
Evaluation of residential reorganization from the living environment before and after group relocation (part 1): Focusing on the living environment and community
Authors: Tomobuchi Takayuki , Tsukihashi Osamu , Yamazaki Juichi 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe reorganization of residential areas through mass relocation has had 3 impacts on the living environment of the village. Owing to the reduction in the area of the site, the residential space has lost the room for inviting non‐family members. The number of houses with gardens and fields has also decreased. As the density of housing has increased, more people are concerned about the view from the outside. As a result, many houses close their curtains. The trust among residents is still high today.
Pump‐Less Platform Enables Long‐Term Recirculating Perfusion of 3D Printed Tubular Tissues

Published: August 2023

AbstractThe direction and pattern of fluid flow affect vascular structure and function, in which vessel‐lining endothelial cells exhibit variable cellular morphologies and vessel remodeling by mechanosensing. To recapitulate this microenvironment, some approaches have been reported to successfully apply unidirectional flow on endothelial cells in organ‐on‐a‐chip systems. However, these platforms encounter drawbacks such as the dependency on pumps or confinement to closed microfluidic channels. These constraints impede their synergy with advanced biofabrication techniques like 3D bioprinting, thereby curtailing the potential to introduce greater complexity into engineered tissues. Herein, a pumpless recirculating platform (UniPlate) that enables unidirectional media recirculation through 3D printed tubular tissues, is demonstrated.The device is made of polystyrene via injection molding in combination with 3D printed sacrifical gelatin templates. Tubular blood vessels with unidirectional perfusion are firstly engineered. Then the design is expanded to incorporate duo‐recirculating flow for culturing vascularized renal proximal tubules with glucose reabsorption function. In addition to media recirculation, human monocyte recirculation in engineered blood vessels is also demonstrated for over 24 h, with minimal loss of cells, cell viability, and inflammatory activation. UniPlate can be a valuable tool to more precisely control the cellular microenvironment of organ‐on‐a‐chip systems for drug discovery.

Published: August 2023

AbstractMesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapies experience steadfast clinical advances but are still hindered by inefficient site‐specific migration. An adaptable MSC membrane fusogenicity technology is conceptualized for lipid raft‐mediated targeting ligand embedding by using toolkits of discoidal high‐density lipoprotein (HDL)‐containing biomimicking 4F peptides. According to the pathological clues of brain diseases, the vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 specialized VBP peptide is fused with 4F to assemble 4F‐VBP (HDL), which acts as a biobridge and transfers VBP onto the living cell membrane via lipid rafts for surface engineering of MSCs in suspension. When compared with the membrane‐modifying strategies of PEGylated phospholipids, 4F‐VBP (HDL) provides a 3.86 higher linkage efficiency to obtain MSCs4F–VBP(HDL), which can recognize and adhere to the inflammatory endothelium for efficient blood–brain barrier crossing and brain accumulation. In APPswe/PSEN1dE9 mice with Alzheimer's disease (AD), the transcriptomic analysis reveals that systemic administration of MSCs4F–VBP(HDL) can activate pathways associated with neuronal activity and diminish neuroinflammation for rewiring AD brains. This customizable HDL‐mediated membrane fusogenicity platform primes MSC inflammatory brain delivery, which can be expanded to other disease treatments by simply fusing 4F with relevant ligands for living cell engineering.

Published: August 2023

AbstractThis study aimed to determine the chemical properties (fatty acid composition, oil content, sterol and tocopherol compositions) of the oils extracted from the seeds of safflower (Dinçer, Remzibey, Balci, Linas, Yenice, Olas) varieties harvested in different periods from flowering to ripening period. In parallel with the increase of harvest time, the humidity rate decreased, while the oil ratios increased. It was determined that palmitic (16:0) and stearic (18:0) acids, which are significant saturated fatty acids, and oleic (18:1) and linoleic (18:2) acids, which are unsaturated fatty acids, are quite high in the oils of all safflower varieties. These fatty acids showed significant changes from the first harvest to the last harvest. The total saturated fatty acid ratios decreased, while the amount of unsaturated fatty acids increased as the maturation progressed. The first and latest harvest samples of Dinçer, Remzibey, Balcı, Linas, Yenice, Olas cultivars were selected and their sterol and tocopherol compositions were examined. The highest level of sterol in all cultivars was β‐sitosterol and the amount of sterols decreased towards full maturity. It was determined that α‐tocopherol was the dominant tocopherol found in the safflower oils and the amount of tocopherol increased towards full maturity.

Published: August 2023

AbstractNumerous challenges arise from metal corrosion, including economic loss, environmental pollution, and safety issues. Epoxy coatings, as a solution to metal corrosion problems, have been widely used worldwide. The improvement of epoxy coating performance is also a major focus of research. In this paper, we employed a hydrothermal method to load UIO‐66 crystals onto a two‐dimensional mica substrate, while simultaneously modifying the surface with polyethyleneimine (PEI) to enhance the compatibility of the filler in the epoxy coating. The water absorption and adhesion of the PMC‐UIO(4:1)/EP coating were optimized after the addition of the modified filler, with the adhesion strength of the PMC‐UIO(4:1)/EP coating improved to 8.28 MPa. In terms of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the PMC‐UIO(4:1)/EP coating manifested long‐lasting and superior corrosion resistance. Specifically, the electrochemical impedance modulus of this coating reached as high as 1011. Remarkably, even after immersion in a 3.5 wt% sodium chloride solution for 30 days, the coating maintained an impedance value order of magnitude at 109, which is unparalleled among all the composite coatings studied, demonstrating its exceptional corrosion resistance.

AbstractThe significant increase in product titers, coupled with the growing focus on continuous bioprocessing, has renewed interest in using precipitation as a low‐cost alternative to Protein A chromatography for the primary capture of monoclonal antibody (mAb) products. In this work, a commercially relevant mAb was purified from clarified cell culture fluid using a tubular flow precipitation reactor with dewatering and washing provided by tangential flow microfiltration. The particle morphology was evaluated using an inline high‐resolution optical probe, providing quantitative data on the particle size distribution throughout the precipitation process. Data were obtained in both a lab‐built 2‐stage countercurrent washing system and a commercial countercurrent contacting skid that provided 4 stages of continuous washing. The processes were operated continuously for 2 h with overall mAb yield of 92 ± 3% and DNA removal of nearly 3 logs in the 4‐stage system. The high DNA clearance was achieved by selective redissolution of the mAb using a low pH acetate buffer. Host cell protein clearance was 0.59 ± 0.08 logs, comparable to that based on model predictions. The process mass intensity was slightly better than typical Protein A processes and could be significantly improved by preconcentration of the antibody feed material.

Knockdown of TRPV2 inhibits the migration of RAW264.7 cells toward low fluid shear stress region
Authors: Gao Yan , Zhang Xiao , Huo Bo 
Published: August 2023

AbstractOur previous studies have demonstrated that macrophages (RAW264.7) have a special ability for sensing the gradient of fluid shear stress (FSS) and migrate toward the low‐FSS region. However, the molecular mechanism regulating this phenomenon is still unclear. In this study, we examined the transcriptome genes in RAW264.7 cells, MC3T3‐E1 osteoblasts, mesenchymal stem cells, canine renal epithelial cells, and periodontal ligament cells. The expression levels of genes related to cell migration, force transfer, and force sensitivity in the Ca2+ signaling pathway were analyzed. We observed that the transient receptor potential cation channel type 2 (TRPV2) was highly expressed in RAW264.7 cells. Furthermore, we used lentiviral transfection to knockdown TRPV2 expression in RAW264.7 cells and studied the effect of TRPV2 on the migration of RAW264.7 cells under a gradient FSS field. The results showed that compared with normal cells, TRPV2‐knockdown cells had impaired ability for sensing FSS gradient to migrate toward the low‐FSS region and lower intracellular calcium response to FSS stimulation. This study may reveal the molecular mechanism of regulating the directional migration of macrophages under a gradient FSS field.
