Authors: Trisunaryanti Wega , Triyono Triyono , Nandini Elizabeth Selia , Suarsih Endah 
Published: August 2022

A series of heterogeneous catalysts based on cobalt supported on SBA-15 were prepared through wet impregnation and co-impregnation assisted by ethylene glycol (EG) methods. The cobalt oxide catalysts generated after the drying and calcination process were denoted as CoO/SBA-15w and CoO/SBA-15c for a wet- and co-impregnation method, respectively. Subsequent to the reduction process, the reduced cobalt catalysts were obtained and denoted as Co/SBA-15w and Co/SBA-15c. The TEM images revealed the catalysts prepared through these methods show very clear distinctions that the catalyst prepared by wet impregnation shows large aggregates of cobalt particles on the external surface of SBA-15 due to their inability to enter the channels. The catalysts were evaluated on the hydrocracking of pyrolyzed -cellulose as a biomass model. The results showed that the reduced cobalt-based catalysts are having higher conversion value and selectivity towards the 2-furancarboxaldehyde reached ca. 20%.

O RIO CAPITAL IMAGINADO PELA CRÍTICA CINEMATOGRÁFICA: os casos de Rio Fantasia e Rio, 40 graus
Authors: Altmann Eliska 
Published: August 2022

No artigo, busca-se verificar como o Rio de Janeiro, “cidade-capital”, foi imaginado por críticos cinematográficos brasileiros. Por meio de críticas aos filmes Rio fantasia (1957), de Watson Macedo, e Rio, 40 graus (1955), de Nelson Pereira dos Santos, pretende-se entender como a então Capital Federal foi descrita e legitimada por agentes que formam julgamentos, quiçá, para a posteridade.
O MARXISMO DE ANDRÉ GORZ
Authors: Löwy Michael 
Published: August 2022

Gorz era marxista? Seria mais justo e mais apropriado falar de uma presença do marxismo no seu pensamento. Um pensamento que pode ser caracterizado como um socialismo ecológico - um ecossocialismo - que se inspira em Marx e em certos marxistas heterodoxos na sua crítica da sociedade (capitalista) existente e na sua formulação de um projeto de sociedade (comunista) alternativa. Há marxismo em Gorz, e sua obra, uma das mais importantes na ecologia crítica do século XX, não pode ser compreendida sem essa dimensão.
RACIONALIDADE ECONÔMICA, TRABALHO E ECOLOGIA EM ANDRÉ GORZ
Authors: Langer André 
Published: August 2022

O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar a análise crítica de André Gorz sobre o trabalho e a ecologia política a partir da centralidade que o conceito de racionalidade econômica no capitalismo adquire em seu pensamento. Para ele, a extensão ilimitada da racionalidade econômica ao trabalho e à natureza é considerada sem futuro do ponto de vista da sociedade. Gorz reconhece a íntima relação entre a crítica do capitalismo e a tarefa da ecologia política. Outro aspecto presente em sua obra, menos explorado, é a relação entre trabalho e crise ecológica. O capitalismo apropria-se do trabalho ou emprego não apenas para os seus interesses, mas também os transforma em instrumentos de destruição da natureza. Este paper objetiva também, fiel ao espírito do próprio Gorz, embora de maneira sucinta, indicar alguns horizontes alternativos.

AS TEORIAS DO TRABALHO DE HONNETH E UNGER: reconhecimento e produtivismo inclusivo
Authors: Visser Ricardo 
Published: August 2022

Neste artigo, comparam-se duas escolas de pensamento da teoria social a partir do conceito de trabalho. Estendem-se, então, suas contradições internas. De um lado, a teoria do reconhecimento comporta um conceito de trabalho que se deixa definir por seu valor sociocultural e simbólico, inserido na hierarquia moral ocidental. Seu paradigma é a sociedade salarial e a regulação estatal da paridade das relações profissionais. Já o construtivismo institucional entende o conceito de trabalho como atividade produtiva destinada à inovação. Seu enquadramento teórico visa a recuperar a aliança entre progresso técnico-material com o incremento da experiência social dos indivíduos.HONNETH’S AND UNGER’S THEORIES OF LABOR: recognition and inclusive productivismIn this article two currents of social thought will be compared taking into account the concept of labor. On one side, the theory of recognitiondefines labor by its cultural and symbolic value, which is conceived in the Western moral hierarchy. Its paradigm is the wage labor and the regulation of contracts. On the other hand, the theory of institutional constructvism understands labor as a productive activity oriented by innovation. It tries to reconcile technical and material progresswith the deepening of the social experience of the individuals.Key words: Labor. Recognition. Institutional constructivism.

ImportanceCerebral small vessel disease (SVD) causes a quarter of strokes and is the most common pathology underlying vascular cognitive impairment and dementia. An important step to developing new treatments is better trial methodology. Disease mechanisms in SVD differ from other stroke etiologies; therefore, treatments need to be evaluated in cohorts in which SVD has been well characterized. Furthermore, SVD itself can be caused by a number of different pathologies, the most common of which are arteriosclerosis and cerebral amyloid angiopathy. To date, there have been few sufficiently powered high-quality randomized clinical trials in SVD, and inconsistent trial methodology has made interpretation of some findings difficult.ObservationsTo address these issues and develop guidelines for optimizing design of clinical trials in SVD, the Framework for Clinical Trials in Cerebral Small Vessel Disease (FINESSE) was created under the auspices of the International Society of Vascular Behavioral and Cognitive Disorders. Experts in relevant aspects of SVD trial methodology were convened, and a structured Delphi consensus process was used to develop recommendations. Areas in which recommendations were developed included optimal choice of study populations, choice of clinical end points, use of brain imaging as a surrogate outcome measure, use of circulating biomarkers for participant selection and as surrogate markers, novel trial designs, and prioritization of therapeutic agents using genetic data via Mendelian randomization.Conclusions and RelevanceThe FINESSE provides recommendations for trial design in SVD for which there are currently few effective treatments. However, new insights into understanding disease pathogenesis, particularly from recent genetic studies, provide novel pathways that could be therapeutically targeted. In addition, whether other currently available cardiovascular interventions are specifically effective in SVD, as opposed to other subtypes of stroke, remains uncertain. FINESSE provides a framework for design of trials examining such therapeutic approaches.

Published: August 2022

AbstractLow‐dimensional nanostructures of halide perovskites have been receiving extensive research interest for their superior optical, electrical, and stability characteristics over their conventional bulk counterparts. In particular, the unique surficial characteristics of well‐defined 1D nanowires have shown high feasibility for high performance optoelectronic applications. The key aspect of endorsing this nanoscale form factor in practical applications lies in securing dimensional uniformity and controllability in large scales, which generally requires complicated lithographic procedures. In this work, a simple, rapid, and widely applicable strategy for the direct synthesis and printing of well‐aligned nanowire arrays on a large scale is demonstrated. By employing blade coating methods with sophisticatedly controlled stick‐slip motions, periodically resolved transverse 3D meniscus enables uniform directional growth of highly crystalline CsPbI3 nanowires without the need for templates. A systematic investigation of morphological evolutions with respect to kinetic processing variables is conducted, along with a comprehensive suite of structural and optical analyses for the synthesized nanowire arrays. A single nanowire photodetector is employed to demonstrate the superiority and applicability of the fabrication strategy. Finally, a 2D image recognition is demonstrated by using an array of photodetectors fabricated via a fast (<2 min) direct printing of nanowire arrays on wafers.
Endolysosomal cholesterol export: More than just NPC1
Authors: Lu Albert 
Published: August 2022

AbstractNPC1 plays a central role in cholesterol egress from endolysosomes, a critical step for maintaining intracellular cholesterol homeostasis. Despite recent advances in the field, the full repertoire of molecules and pathways involved in this process remains unknown. Emerging evidence suggests the existence of NPC1‐independent, alternative routes. These may involve vesicular and non‐vesicular mechanisms, as well as release of extracellular vesicles. Understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms that bypass NPC1 function could have important implications for the development of therapies for lysosomal storage disorders. Here we discuss how cholesterol may be exported from lysosomes in which NPC1 function is impaired.

Published: August 2022

AbstractThe fact that gifted students have different developmental characteristics compared with their peers makes it necessary to differentiate their educational activities. For this reason, different teaching programs and materials are needed to meet the learning needs of gifted students correctly. The purpose of this study is to design, develop, and implement a simulation‐based virtual application for gifted secondary school students to be used in robotics technologies education. The effects of the application on the academic achievement of the participants, satisfaction, self‐confidence, the development levels of the students, the importance of the design elements for the students, and the metacognitive awareness levels were examined. In addition, a qualitative analysis of participant views was made. The research was created with embedded research design, which is one of the mixed research methods. As a result of the research, the academic success of gifted students in robotics, their satisfaction with simulation programs, their self‐efficacy, the skills, and importance they attach to the use of simulation, and their metacognitive awareness levels showed positive development.

Published: August 2022

AbstractLithium‐Sulfur (Li−S) batteries have become an undoubtful choice for future high‐energy applications due to their high theoretical capacity and energy density. However, the “Shuttle Effect” is a phenomenon that hinders the practical application of Li−S batteries. The present work reports a facile synthesis of poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone ketones) (PPESK) as a surface modifier for the conventional glass fiber separator to arrest the shuttle effect. PPESK is prepared by aromatic nucleophilic substitution (SNAr) with 4‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl) phthalazin‐1(2H)‐one, bis (4‐chlorophenyl methanone), and 4,4′‐sulfinyl‐bis (chlorobenzene). The Li−S cells with PPESK@GF separators deliver a high initial discharge capacity of 1054.2 mAh g−1 at 0.2 C than GF (991.5 mAh g−1 at 0.2 C). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to determine the interaction between the PPESK with lithium polysulfides, Li2Sn (n=1, 2, 4, 6, and 8). The results indicate that all the lithium polysulfides strongly bind with the sulfone nitrogen site of the PPESK structure with high binding energy, particularly Li2S6 has −492.58 kcal/mol. The atoms‐in‐molecules analysis (AIM) shows the presence of ionic bonds between PPESK and lithium polysulfides. Gibb's free energy, the thermodynamical parameter, indicates that the reaction is exergonic and spontaneous. Overall, the theoretical findings augment the observed experimental results.

Published: August 2022

AbstractEstimating abundance or biomass using eDNA metabarcoding is a powerful emerging tool that may provide an alternative to conventional laborious methods for biological monitoring. However, inferring aquatic macroorganism abundance or biomass using eDNA concentrations remains challenging, especially in lotic environments, because of several potential confounding factors. In this study, we tested whether quantitative eDNA metabarcoding that uses internal standard DNA can be used to estimate the abundance of four fish species. We collected eDNA samples and concurrently estimated fish densities using the conventional removal method in small tributaries in four seasons during a year. The effects of potential confounding factors, including the body mass of the individuals, water temperature, and discharge volume, were assessed using an allometric scaling model. We found an increasing trend of eDNA concentration against the increase in abundance across all species. In the most abundant species, a significant increase in the precision of predicted abundance was achieved by considering confounding factors, such as season and discharge. Although this study successfully determined the relationships between eDNA concentration and fish abundance under lotic field conditions, it also identified several limitations of quantitative eDNA metabarcoding. The relationship between eDNA concentration and fish abundance in rare species showed significant variances in the regression. More sequencing depth may be necessary to detect rare species sufficiently. The eDNA concentration estimation error effect was significant, particularly among the samples that showed the same abundance figures by direct capture estimation. The utilization of quantitative eDNA metabarcoding may be suitable for organisms that are expected to have a substantial variation in their population density. More comparative studies with various conventional methods would be informative, especially in lotic field environments, to overcome these limitations and achieve wider applications of eDNA metabarcoding in future research and monitoring.

Published: August 2022

AbstractBackground and AimsSedentary behavior and physical inactivity are associated with musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). Muscle and mobility enhancing training is recommended to promote musculoskeletal fitness and prevent MSD. A functional fitness program emphasizing the importance of musculoskeletal fitness is provided by CrossFit®. However, data from long‐term CrossFit® interventions assessing measures of musculoskeletal fitness in sedentary and inactive individuals does not exist.MethodsThis prospective, controlled study investigates the effects of 6 months CrossFit® training (2×60 min/week) in inactive adults (in terms of <2 muscle or mobility enhancing training sessions per week) with predominantly sitting or standing occupations. 91 participants were initially assessed, 2 were excluded, 55 self‐selected for intervention (IG), and 34 for the control group (CG). Primary endpoint was a change in mobility (Functional Movement Screen score). Secondary endpoints were changed in strength (maximum isometric strength in kg; Dr. Wolff BackCheck®), and well‐being (WHO‐5 score). Key exploratory endpoints were changes in back‐issue measures (pain intensity, limitation, and frequency).Results39 participants of IG and 31 of CG completed the evaluation after 6 months. The IG improved significantly more (p < 0.001) compared with the CG in the FMS (η² = 0.58), trunk extension (η² = 0.46), trunk flexion (η² = 0.47), trunk lateral flexion left (η² = 0.41), trunk lateral flexion right (η² = 0.42), upper body push (η² = 0.4), upper body pull (η² = 0.25), hip extension left (η² = 0.18), and hip extension right (η² = 0.4). Change of WHO‐5 scores did not significantly differ between groups (p = 0.55; η² = 0.01). Exploratory analysis of back‐issue data showed a higher decrease for pain intensity, limitation, and frequency in the IG compared with the CG.ConclusionThis study proves for the first time within the scope of a prospective, controlled study the broad benefits of CrossFit® in inactive adults doing predominantly sedentary work.

AbstractBackground and AimsIn this study, we aimed to compare the transversus abdominis plan block (TAP) and quadratus lumborum block (QL) efficacy for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing varicocelectomy under spinal anesthesia.MethodsAmerican Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 1 and 2 patients, aged 18–45 years, who underwent varicocelectomy operation under elective conditions, were included. Eighty patients were divided into three groups as TAP group, QL group, and control group by prospective randomization. The patients were operated under spinal anesthesia. At the end of the operation, TAP was applied to the TAP group with a posterior approach using ultrasound (USG) in the supine position. To the QL group, the patient was placed in the lateral decubitus position and the lateral QL was applied via USG. No block type was applied to the control group. Patient‐controlled analgesia (PCA) device containing tramadol was administered intravenously at the end of the surgery in all groups. Visual analogue scale (VAS) score was questioned at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 18, 24 h in the follow‐up of the patients. Intravenous 1 g paracetamol was given over VAS 4. PCA usage time and usage amounts were recorded.ResultsAs a result of comparing the groups according to the VAS scores at all hours were significantly different between the three groups (p < 0.001). There was a significant difference between the groups when comparing the number of PCA bolus administrations (p < 0.001). TAP and QL blocks significantly reduced the number of PCA bolus when compared with the control group (p < 0.001) but the number of PCA bolus was found to be similar between TAP and QL blocks (p > 0.05).ConclusionTAP and QL, which are administered to evaluate the effectiveness of postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing varicocelectomy under spinal anesthesia, are both effective in reducing pain scores and the amount of analgesia consumption.

AbstractBackground and AimsInhalation of respirable silica dust during several stone processing methods can result in several respiratory diseases. However, data are scarce regarding the respiratory health of stone‐cutting workers in Bangladesh. We aimed to determine the point prevalence of respiratory symptoms, lung function status and radiological abnormalities among the stone‐cutting workers.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study was conducted among 200 stone‐cutting workers. Adult workers having a job experience of at least 3 years participated in this study. Then inquiry was made regarding respiratory symptoms with the help of a preformed questionnaire. All the participants underwent chest X‐ray and spirometry. A respiratory dust sampler was used to measure the dust concentration of the stone‐cutting factories.ResultsAmong the 200 stone‐cutting workers, 89% (178) showed at least one chronic respiratory symptom while they had chest tightness (75.5%), chronic cough (74.5%), and shortness of breath (66.5%) as the most prominent ones. Spirometry findings revealed that the mean forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) value was 1.42± 0.65 L in the obstructive pattern, 1.43 ± 0.73 L in the restrictive pattern. The mean forced vital capacity (FVC) value was 2.53 ± 1.12 L in the obstructive pattern, 1.53 ± 0.75 L in the restrictive pattern. 42.69% of stone‐cutting workers who complained of at least one respiratory symptom had abnormal chest X‐ray findings. Those with progressive massive fibrosis had the lowest mean FEV1 value (0.75 ± 0.50 L). While measuring workplace dust concentration, we found high particulate matter (PM) 2.5 (979.78 µg/m3) and PM 10 (1298.35 µg/m3) values.ConclusionsMost of the stone‐cutting workers in our study exhibited different respiratory symptoms. These symptoms were associated with abnormal lung function and radiology. Further longitudinal studies are recommended to determine the actual dimension of this problem.
