Authors: Araújo da Silva Harley , Da Cunha Thiago Augusto , Da Rocha Passos Veronica Telma 
Published: January 2022

The evaluation of the survival and natural regeneration of tree species in a 35-year-old plantation was carried out to identify the species established in the area, aiming at their recommendation in forest restoration plantations in the State of Acre. In the 1980s, 138 forest species were planted in two experimental units (EU), of 1.38 ha each, in the Zoobotanical Park (ZP) of the Federal University of Acre, Rio Branco campus. The main activities carried out in the area, prior to planting, were agriculture and cattle raising. Survival status was measured through a census of all individuals planted at the time, who were still alive. In addition, all regenerating individuals from planted species were surveyed in the effective planting area of the experimental units. At the time of evaluation, living individuals of 41 and 46 species were found in experimental units 1 (EU-1) and 2 (EU-2), respectively. The species Syagrus sancona, Talisia esculenta, Acacia polyphylla, Couepia bracteosa, Mangifera indica, Syzygium cumini and Copaifera multijuga showed survival rates above 90% in at least one of the experimental units. Only Syagrus sancona and Handroanthus serratifolius presented high survival rates in both experimental. Regenerating individuals of the species Aspidosperma vargasii, Couepia bracteosa, Euterpe precatoria, Handroanthus serratifolius, Oenocarpus mapora, Onychopetalum periquino and Stryphnodendron pulcherrimum were found in the two EU.

Published: January 2022

COVID-19 pandemisinde gördüğümüz gibi, pandemi sınırlı sağlık kaynaklarının kullanımı ile ilgili çok temel bir sorunu gözler önüne sermektedir. Yoğun bakım kaynaklarının yetersiz kalması, triyaj kararlarını kaçınılmaz hale getirecektir. Hukuki kesinlik ve hesap verilebilirlik ihtiyacı bu noktada triyaj kararlarının alınması ile igili bir takım hukuki düzenlemelerin varlığını zorunlu hale getirmektedir.
Bu makale öncelikli olarak Türk Hukukunda triyaj kararlarının hukuki temellerini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu araştırma, ex-ante, ex-post ve önleyici triyaj olmak üzere üç farklı triyaj kararı türünün incelenmesine dayanmaktadır.
Bu çalışmada; hangi triyaj ölçütlerinin kabul edilebilir ve/veya uygun olduğu sorusu ile birlikte aynı zamanda hukuk düzeni içerisinde nihayetinde kimin triyaja karar vermesi gerektiği sorusu da tartışmanın önemli bir noktasını oluşturmaktadır. Bu kapsamda yanıt bulmayı bekleyen bir diğer soru da Türkiye özelinde bir triyaj kanununa ihtiyaç olup olmadığıdır.

Relações entre currículo e gestão escolar na perspectiva da democracia e da interculturalidade
Authors: Lima Emília Freitas de , Conti Celso Luiz Aparecido , Nascente Renata Maria Moschen 
Published: January 2022

O objetivo deste ensaio é tecer relações entre currículo e gestão no âmbito da escola, sem desconsiderar o plano maior da política educacional em que se insere. Defende-se a escola pública como protagonista da recontextualização de políticas públicas e capaz, portanto, de construir relações genuinamente democráticas entre currículo e gestão. Considera-se que o currículo em ação com vistas à emancipação humana vincula-se diretamente aos conceitos de democracia e de cultura, na perspectiva da interculturalidade. Entende-se a função administrativa / gestora tanto na dimensão concernente à administração escolar propriamente dita quanto na dimensão pedagógica, visto que a razão de ser, ou o fim por excelência da escola é a educação dos estudantes, o que a dota de finalidade e natureza peculiares e supõe critérios especiais de organização. Tais critérios precisam ser estabelecidos em conformidade com as caraterísticas do trabalho nela desenvolvido, ou seja, o trabalho pedagógico. Considerando-se ser este último da alçada do currículo, fica evidenciada a inevitável existência de relações entre ele e a administração/gestão, ideia que o texto defende e referencia teoricamente.

Published: January 2022

BackgroundThere is a need for a study of possible relationship between serving a prison sentence and developing postural stability dysfunction. The aim of the study was to analyze postural stability of physically inactive prisoners. The study group consisted of 24 male prisoners aged 34.6 ± 7.02 years, imprisoned in closed prison and 30 healthy, non-active physically, aged 36.9 ± 7.5 years, who consisted control group. The subjects were imprisoned for a mean of 105.43 ± 58.48 months.MethodsThe static balance test was conducted on bi-modular stabilometric platform CQStab2P.ResultsWe found statistically significant differences in several stability parameters. Prisoners results were significantly worse in parameters measured with eyes open: MA (mean amplitudep< 0.01), MAAP (mean amplitude in anterio–posterior planep< 0.03), MAML (mean amplitude in medio—lateral planep< 0.04), MaxAP (maximal sway in APp< 0.01), MaxML (p< 0.01). With eyes closed the prisoner’s results were significantly worse in SPML (sway path in medio-lateral planep= 0.01), better in MAML (p< 0.01) and MaxML (p< 0.01), and faster in MVML (mean velocity in medio-lateral planep< 0.01).Conclusions(1) Diagnostics aimed at early diagnoses of ageing symptoms should be performed in prisons. It would allow for better prisoner management in terms of assessment of ability to work, free time activity offer and falls prevention. (2) In prisons, in addition to counteracting the typical causes of balance disorders, action should be taken to counteract the causes for balance disorders typical for prison environment,inter alia: sensory deprivation—by implementing programmes comprehensively activating prisoners, and hypokinesis—by implementing physical activity programmes that cater for the needs of older prisoners.

ObjectiveTo explore sustainability of achieved remission off medication and defined International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) categories in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and describe the trajectory of disease course over time by comparing treatment, disease activity, and ILAR categories from baseline, 8 years, and 18 years after disease onset.MethodsA total of 373 of the 510 included patients were initially recruited consecutive cases of JIA from the prospective, longitudinal, population‐based Nordic JIA cohort with disease onset during 1997–2000 from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland in an 18‐year follow‐up study. Clinical data were collected consecutively at baseline, 8 years, and 18 years after disease onset and were evaluated regarding treatment, disease activity, and ILAR category.ResultsSignificantly more patients (70%) were off medication after 18 years of follow‐up compared to after 8 years (59.7%); nevertheless, the number of patients in remission had not increased (52% off medication versus 51% on medication). Twelve percent of patients changed ILAR category between 8 years and 18 years after disease onset. Almost half of the changes were due to updated information about heredity in a first‐degree relative. In the same period, the psoriatic arthritis group increased significantly in number (P < 0.001), in contrast to the oligoarticular category, which decreased (P = 0.02). The undifferentiated group increased 24% from 8 to 18 years of follow‐up; however, this increase was not significant (P = 0.06).ConclusionIn this Nordic JIA cohort study, the remission rate did not increase even though significantly more patients were off medication at the 18‐year follow‐up compared to at the 8‐year follow‐up after disease onset. The distribution of patients in the ILAR categories continued to change significantly throughout the 18‐year study period.

Published: January 2022

AbstractThis review presents the different combination methods of 3D printing and electrospinning processes and discusses the advantages of each method. Also, the applications of products of the hybrid process in the biomedical field, including tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, are thoroughly discussed. 3D printing and electrospinning are separate approaches for generating structured materials in a variety of biomedical applications. However, some shortfalls, such as the low resolution of 3D printing and uncontrollable shape of electrospun products, limits their application performances. Therefore, new ideas that combine 3D printing and electrospinning methods are proposed to give full play to their strengths and mitigate their weaknesses, which provide an effective and powerful platform for fabricating novel structural materials. Finally, a future vision regarding challenges and perspectives in the combination of 3D printing and electrospinning techniques is proposed.

Published: January 2022

AbstractSince the 1960s the membrane‐bound enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP) has been utilized in drug delivery. As it cleaves phosphate substructures from drugs, auxiliary agents, and even from the surface of nanocarriers, this enzyme enables the design of drug delivery systems that can alter their properties in the body on demand. Anionic nanocarriers exhibiting bioinert properties can alter their surface to interactive once having reached the target site as due to an ALP‐triggered cleavage of anionic phosphate groups from their surface charge converts to cationic improving for instance cellular uptake. Moreover, features such as the accumulation of nanocarriers at the target site or a targeted drug release triggered by ALP can be introduced. In addition, ALP is utilized to improve the potential of numerous diagnostic systems. Within this review, one provides an overview about the activity, selectivity, and distribution of this enzyme, as well as the great variety of applications in drug delivery and diagnostics making use of it.
Zeolite amended bioretention media improves nitrogen removal from stormwater
Authors: Sweeney Lillie C. , Knappenberger Thorsten , Brantley Eve F. , Shaw Joey N. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractBioretention cells alleviate stormwater toxicity by permeation through soil media. Amending bioretention materials may result in increased chemical pollutant removal while maintaining hydraulic properties. Zeolite was tested in bioretention media for zinc, copper, phosphorus, ammonium, and nitrate removal from synthetic stormwater in a column study. Ecolite did not improve metal or phosphorus removal; however, significantly lower effluent concentrations of ammonium (p < .001) and nitrate (p = .014) were measured compared with the standard media. The standard media averaged a 70% reduction in ammonium concentration, while mixtures containing 10 and 20% Ecolite per volume averaged 86 and 87% reduction, respectively. All media leached higher nitrate concentrations than the influent stormwater. Ecolite significantly increased the saturated hydraulic conductivity by up to 55% (p < .001). The inclusion of Ecolite in bioretention cells may be practical in areas with nitrogen‐impaired watersheds.

Published: January 2022

AbstractFunctional additives, such as mineral and inorganic particles, added significant industrial value for processing lines such as extrusion and spinning. Within the scope of polymer processing loading mineral additives by compounded masterbatch in traditional polyolefin polymers potentially modify those structure bonding by thermal bonding. The large volume of inorganic phase adding raises questions about calcium carbonate as filler in the loading and embossing capacity, quality, and efficient bonding potentiality for relevant products. The process parameters have been recorded around this article on emboss temperature, calcium carbonate concentration, web thickness to carry out the hypothesis achievable in the spunbond system. Filler adding polypropylene has lower heat capacity, which transfers heat efficiently to achieve optimum bonding effect. Modulated differential scanning calorimeter (MDSC) characterizes heat capacity. Morphology of fabric has validated the circumjacent structure changes around the oval pattern. Finally, the conclusion has built a relationship between structure and heat capacity of the inorganic/organic phase, using an equation involving and the heat capacity correlation with the dosage of CCF.
