description: Nel contesto dell'antropologia moderna, la violenza e il trauma rappresentano fenomeni complessi, la cui comprensione richiede un'analisi approfondita delle loro radici e delle loro manifestazioni in diverse culture. In un'epoca caratterizzata dalla crescente medicalizzazione della società che tende a naturalizzare le iperstrutture sociali e i rapporti di potere (così come a nascondere le violenze e i traumi sistemici), emerge un fondamentale quesito: come si interfacciano il progresso tecnico e la visione antropologica della salute e del trauma?

description: Occupational exposure to nanomaterial aerosols poses potential health risks to workers at nanotechnology workplaces. Understanding the mechanical stability of airborne nanoparticle agglomerates under varied mechanical forces and environmental conditions is important for estimating their emission potential and the released particle size distributions which in consequence alters their transport and human uptake probability. In this study, two aerosolization and deagglomeration systems were used to investigate the potential for deagglomeration of nanopowder aerosols with different surface hydrophilicity under a range of shear forces and relative humidity conditions. Critical orifices were employed to subject airborne agglomerates to the shear forces induced by a pressure drop. Increasing applied pressure drop were found to be associated with decreased mean particle size and increased particle number concentrations. Rising humidity decreased the deagglomeration tendency as expressed by larger modal particle sizes and lower number concentrations compared to dry conditions. Hydrophilic aerosols exhibited higher sensitivities to changes in humidity than hydrophobic particles. However, the test systems themselves also differed in generated particle number concentrations and size distributions, which in turn altered the responses of created aerosols to humidity changes. The results of the present study clearly demonstrate that a) humidity control is essential for dustiness and deagglomeration testing, b) that (industrial) deagglomeration, e.g. for preparation of aerosol suspensions, can be manipulated by subjecting airborne particles to external energies, and c) that the humidity of workplace air may be relevant when assessing occupational exposure to nanomaterial aerosols.

description: Experimental and theoretical studies were performed on Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWCN) decorated with ZnO nanoparticles located on the surface of the SWCN. Measurements of High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) and Photoluminescence were performed, and theoretical calculations were carried out under the Extended Hückel Tight Binding Approximation. HRTEM results provide information about the existence of SWCN with ZnO nanoparticles on top. A considerably enhancement in the Photoluminescence (PL) behavior of the hybrid system was obtained as compared to pristine SWCN. Calculated energy bands of the pristine SWCN provide an energy gap of 0.06 eV. When the ZnO cluster is located onto the SWCN the new system behaves as a metal. Analysis of total and Partial Density of States (PDOS) provides information about each atom orbital contribution to the total DOS. It is shown that carbon contributes with p-orbitals while Zn contributes with p- and a very small contribution of d-orbitals. The overlap of all these contributions produces hybridized orbitals, which may likely be responsible for the enhancement of Photoluminescence on the new hybrid system.

description: Protonation of the highly reactive 1:1 intermediate produced in the reaction between triphenylphosphine and an acetylenic ester by a N-H acid (4-phenylphthalazin-1(2 H)-one, 5,5-diphenylimidazolidine-2,4-dione) leads to the formation of a vinyltriphenylphosphonium salt. The cation of the salt undergoes an addition reaction with the counter anion in CH2Cl2 at room temperature to yield the corresponding stabilized phosphorus ylide. Elimination of triphenylphosphine from the stabilized phosphorus ylides leads to the formation of corresponding electron-poor N-vinylated heterocycles in moderate to high yields (67–95%). The reaction is completely regio- and stereoselective.

description: In this letter we report the stress-induced Mn charge-ordering process in the LiMn2O4 spinel, evidenced by the lattice strain evolutions due to the Jahn–Teller effects. In situ neutron diffraction reveals the initial stage of this process at low stress, indicating the eg electron localization at the preferential Mn sites during the early phase transition as an underlying charge-ordering mechanism in the charge-frustrated LiMn2O4. The initial stage of this transition exhibits as a progressive lattice and charge evolution, without showing a first-order behavior. IMPACT STATEMENT The newly reported continuous charge-ordering process will refresh the fundamental understanding of the structural evolution along with the anomalous physical properties in the frustrated LiMn2O4 spinel.

description: Eremias strauchi strauchi and Eremias strauchi kopetdaghica are genetically and morphologically distinct and are distributed allopatrically in northeastern and northwestern Iran. E. s. strauchi is distinguishable by having green spots on lateral parts of the body, while E. s. kopetdaghica is characterized by white spots and irregular black dots on lateral parts of the body. Recent molecular studies have suggested that these are two distinct species, but other types of analyses leave their classification unclear. In this study, we evaluated their taxonomic status using additional data (including ecological niches) to confirm the hypothesis that they are two species. All known records of their occurrence were employed to predict and evaluate the suitable areas where they may be expected to be found in Iran. We then performed niche similarity tests (niche identity and background tests) and point-based analyses to compare their ecological niches and explain ecological differentiation. Niche models of E. s. strauchi and E. s. kopetdaghica had good results and powerful performance based on high area under the curve (AUC) values [E. s. strauchi = 0.992, standard deviation (SD) = ± 0.008; E. s. kopetdaghica = 0.978, SD = ± 0.032]. Ecological differentiation has been found across the entire range, indicating that ecological differentiation had an important role in species differentiation. Environmental conditions for the species diverged along environmental variables, as precipitation of coldest quarter for the “Strauch” subspecies and precipitation of warmest quarter for the “Kopet dagh” subspecies were most important in determining habitat suitability, respectively. These two factors are important in niche differentiation between the two species and influenced their genetic divergence. Finally, our results confirmed the niche differentiation between E. s. strauchi and E. s. kopetdaghica and added new insights into the taxonomic distinction between E. s. strauchi and E. s. kopetdaghica.

description: Background: After stroke, aerobic deconditioning can have a profound impact on daily activities. This is usually measured by the peak oxygen consumption rate achieved during exercise testing (VO2-peak). However, VO2-peak may be distorted by motor function. The oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) and VO2 at the ventilatory threshold (VO2-VT) could more specifically assess aerobic capacity after stroke, but this has not been tested. Objectives: To assess the differential influence of motor function on three measures of aerobic capacity (VO2-peak, OUES, and VO2-VT) and to evaluate the inter-rater reliability of VO2-VT determination post-stroke. Methods: Among 59 persons with chronic stroke, cross-sectional correlations with motor function (comfortable gait speed [CGS] and lower extremity Fugl-Meyer [LEFM]) were compared between the different aerobic capacity measures, after adjustment for covariates, in order to isolate any distorting effect of motor function. Reliability of VO2-VT determination between three raters was assessed with intra-class correlation (ICC). Results: CGS was moderately correlated with VO2-peak (r = 0.52, p r = 0.41, p = 0.002) and VO2-VT (r = 0.37, p = 0.01). LEFM was weakly correlated with VO2-peak (r = 0.26, p = 0.055) and very weakly correlated with OUES (r = 0.19, p = 0.17) and VO2-VT (r = 0.14, p = 0.31). Compared to VO2-peak, VO2-VT was significantly less correlated with CGS (r difference = −0.16, p = 0.02). Inter-rater reliability of VO2-VT determination was high (ICC: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.89–0.96). Conclusions: Motor dysfunction appears to artificially lower measured aerobic capacity. VO2-VT seemed to be less distorted than VO2-peak and had good inter-rater reliability, so it may provide more specific assessment of aerobic capacity post-stroke.

description: The present study was undertaken to investigate whether hederacochiside C (HSC) possesses antischistosomal effects and anti-inflammatory response activities in Schistosoma japonicum-infected mice. Different concentrations of HSC were administrated to the mice infected by schistosomula or adult worm by intravenous injection twice a day for five consecutive days. The total worm burden, female worm burden, and the egg burden in liver of mice treated with 400 mg/kg HSC were fewer than those in non-treated ones. Murine immune responses following HSC treatment were investigated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Our results indicated that 200 mg/kg HSC could reduce the expression of IgG, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-17 in comparison to infected group, exhibiting best immunomodulatory effects. In addition, scanning electron microscopical examination revealed that male worms treated with HSC lost their normal surface architecture since its surface showed extensive swelling, erosion, and peeling in tegumental regions. Remarkable amelioration was noticed in histopathological investigations, and 200 mg/kg HSC treatment could reduce the size of granulomatous inflammatory infiltrations in the liver which was reflected in nearly normalization of liver architecture. These results suggested that HSC had potential antischistosomal activity and provided a basis for subsequent experimental.

description: A new hederagenin-type triterpenoid glycoside (1) named Aytachoside A, along with eight known triterpene glycosides, were isolated from the aerial parts of Cephalaria aytachii Gokturk and Sumbul (Dipsacaceae). The structures of compounds 1–9 were determined by spectroscopic (1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS) and chemical examinations. The antimicrobial effect of compound 1 was found considerably active against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and especially Salmonella typhimurium microorganisms using the MIC method. Although compound 1 was found not to have a remarkable toxic effect at a concentration lower than 300 μg/mL, cytotoxic activity tests demonstrated that prosapogenin 1a exhibits a significant cytotoxic activity against HeLa cell lines using the MTT assay for the first time.
Future-proofing with advanced and emerging technologies and tools

description: Ongoing contributions of agriculture to human health and well-being face major risks. Extreme poverty per se and ineffective policies for development, trade and regulations are the largest risk multipliers, with abiotic and biotic stresses being the major risk drivers. Prevention, effective response, and innovation are the key risk mitigation factors. Tools and technology for 1) monitoring, modelling and predicting risk emergence, 2) deploying, tracking and optimising existing solutions, and 3) on-going innovations for better tools and solutions, are keys to future-proofing our agricultural system. I propose focusing on overall water-use efficiency as the normalising basis for quantitative tracking and prioritisation of progress and setbacks. Yeildgap.org is an excellent resource for tracking realised harvest vs water-limited potential harvest. Poor soil fertility in developing countries and pests/pathogens everywhere are the major limitations on agriculture using existing best practices. Soil fertility can be readily solved; the future will be limited primarily by pests and pathogens and increasing abiotic stresses. Recent case studies from Africa illustrate the situation. Maize lethal necrosis virus erupted suddenly in East Africa and exposed a vulnerability in the local seed system which, once understood, was then remedied. Cassava mosaic disease is an on-going and spreading problem that threatens much of Africa’s cassava crop. Despite excellent progress in tracking, modelling and development of solutions, it remains a major threat, due to slow progress in deployment of new resistant varieties and cooperation within and across country borders to contain the outbreak. New strains of wheat rust have emerged in eastern Africa and spread around most of the world. Deployment of single resistance genes has led to progressive loss of their effectiveness, complicating efforts to build a more durable resistance package. Molecular efforts to splice together multi-gene packages, and using synthetic biology to create new resistance genes not found in germplasm collections, promise a more robust and durable solution.

description: General, or private and non-commercial, aviation accidents produce more fatalities than any other aviation category within the United States. Despite advances in scientific understanding and technology since the early 1900s, weather causes concern for aviation safety, and little is known about the characteristics of fatal weather-related general aviation accidents. We provide a comprehensive spatiotemporal analysis of fatal weather-related general aviation accidents from 1982 through 2013 using data culled from the United States National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Weather was a cause or contributing factor in 35% of fatal general aviation accidents, of which 60% occurred while instrument meteorological conditions were present. Fatal weather-related general aviation accidents occur most frequently between October and April, on weekends, in early morning and evening periods, and along the West Coast, Colorado Rockies, Appalachian Mountains, and the Northeast. There has been a long-term reduction in weather-related general aviation accidents and fatalities since the 1980s; nonetheless, these accidents are still responsible for nearly 100 fatalities/year in the United States. This study provides pilots, academics, the Federal Aviation Administration, the NTSB, and other aviation organizations with information to advance mitigation efforts aimed at reducing future aviation-related accidents in the United States.

description: Federated learning trains a global model using data distributed across local nodes, and differs from centralized machine learning by moving the computation to the data in order to address the challenges of data ownership, privacy, computational power, and data storage. Previous federated learning research has addressed the effect of non independent and identically distributed data on federated learning [6]. Meanwhile, local models may have better performance if the test set is also non-IID [7]. However, there may be insufficient data on a node to train a local model for every node; hence the purpose of federated learning. This research is the first, to our knowledge, to consider model performance on both a global test set and non-IID test set. Our experiments provide a original finding in that federated learning is only robust to non-IID data with constraints on the width and depth of a neural network. There is a tradeoff, however, between model complexity and feasibility of training the model on edge devices. Thus, we propose selective federated learning algorithm which greatly allows simpler models that fit on edge devices to be robust to highly non-IID data. For non-IID test sets, we prove that a converged federated model may converge to weights which do not provide the optimal local loss for an arbitrary chosen number of training samples on each node. Additionally, this thesis discusses the experiments that were conducted to examine the effects of model complexity, percentage of unbalanced data, and the current modes of model aggregation on model accuracy. For the experiments, we deployed federated learning library for multiple devices, Jetson Nano, Raspberry Pi, Macbook Pro, and Linux server and provide hardware benchmarks.

description: This study explored the applicability of a pilot-scale continuous-flow radiofrequency (RF) heating system to treat sewage sludge by the RF-oxidation process (RF/H2O2). Depending on temperature and hydrogen peroxide dosage, high amounts of soluble chemical oxygen demand and volatile fatty acid were produced, and phosphates, nitrogen, and metals were solubilized. A high temperature and/or a higher H2O2 dosage implemented in this system yielded high solubilization of organic matters. Orthophosphate increased with an increase in treatment temperature up to 60°C, its concentration decreased as temperature further increased. There was little effect on orthophosphate release by varying H2O2 dosage. The efficiency of the RF/H2O2 process was comparable to the microwave (MW) enhanced advanced oxidation process (MW/H2O2-AOP), in terms of solids disintegration and nutrient release; however, the solubilization rate was lower for RF/H2O2 process. The overall energy consumed by the RF/H2O2 process was higher than the MW/H2O2-AOP.

description: Regression, understood as the loss of previously acquired behaviors, affects 20-30% of patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Children exhibit this loss of functional behaviors within the first years of life. Nowadays, the mechanism behind this regressive process is still unknown. To improve our knowledge about ASD regression and find selected target treatments, it is important to establish a model with regressive features. In the present project, we showed that the Synapsin II Knockout (SynII KO) mouse loses previously acquired social and cognitive abilities in adulthood, and propose it as a valid model for the study of regression. Synapsin II is a presynaptic phosphoprotein belonging to the Synapsin family (Syns) involved in neuronal development and in the modulation of neurotransmitter release at presynaptic terminals. Mutations in the SYN2 gene are associated to ASD and epilepsy, and in line, mice lacking this gene exhibit an ASD-like behavior and develop generalized seizures starting from two-three months of age. Here, we reported that 1-month-old SynII KO mice showed no defects in social and cognitive behaviors, which instead are manifested in adult and epileptic mice, in association with a disrupted sensory and multisensory integration. We showed that the regressive manifestations were not related to epilepsy and that synaptic alterations appeared with a different timing in the diverse brain regions. Our data suggest the existence of an ASD-genesis latent period during which plasticity mechanisms contrast the precocious excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) imbalance and thus mask the behavioral deficits. These corrective mechanisms seem to disappear in adults when the period of maximum plasticity is closed, resulting in the appearance of overt behavioral symptoms. Preliminary pharmacological studies suggested that an early rebalance of E/I systems can drive a correct maturation of synaptic contacts and restore the early altered behavioral signs. Overall, this study proposes the SynII KO mouse as an ideal candidate for the study of ASD with regressive pattern.

description: A new class of non-symmetric dimeric compounds derived from 4-cyano-4′-hydroxybiphenyl in which two rigid parts are connected via flexible spacers have been designed and synthesised. These materials possess trialkoxy chains attached at one end of the molecule, while the other end consists of a biphenyl moiety terminated with the highly polar cyano group. The molecular structures of these dimers have been confirmed by elemental analysis and spectroscopic data and their phase behaviour has been characterised by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarizing optical microscopy (POM). Almost all of the synthesised materials exhibit liquid crystalline properties depending on the number of carbon atoms in the terminal chains, where all short chains derivatives form nematic phases and depending on the length of the internal spacer long terminal chains homologues display crystalline or unidentified smectic phase.

description: The paper addresses the implementation of advanced process control (APC) and monitoring the economic performance for ammonia production facility relying on natural gas steam reforming. The plant profit optimization was the main goal in the development of a custom APC structure by using a programmed feedforward–ratio–cascade control scheme. The ammonia plant model constructed by UniSim Design software gave a basis for the implementation of a closed-loop control. Ammonia production rate set point acts as the primary/master while holding the steam-to-natural gas and air-to-natural gas molar ratios as secondary/slave controllers. Moreover, the paper considers the main process disturbances on the controlled and manipulated variables. The APC controller with economic objective function ensured better disturbance rejection, more efficient operation of the whole ammonia plant, and increased profitability of up to 7%.

description: Nanostructured Li2FeTiO4/graphene composite with a cation disordered rock salt structure (Fm-3 m) has been synthesised via a solgel process using graphene oxide (GO) as a template. The as-prepared Li2FeTiO4 nanoparticles with a particle size of 20–50 nm are uniformly distributed on the graphene substrate. The Li2FeTiO4/graphene cathode shows phase transformations of Fe2+/Fe3+ and Fe3+/Fe4+ in a wide potential range from 1.5 to 5.0 V and possesses a high discharge capacity of 218.6 mAh g−1 (equivalent to 1.4 Li per formula unit). A reversible capacity of 176.9 mAh g−1 is maintained after 50 cycles. High capacity retention rate at 1C after 200 cycles is obtained. The Li2FeTiO4/graphene should be of great interest as a potential cathode material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

description: This study evaluates the adsorption efficiency of Cd2+ and Cu2+ by peanut shell biochar (BPS) in monocomponent and bicomponent systems. The characterization indicated that BPS was mesoporous and amorphous, with presence of hydroxyl and carboxylic functional groups, with a pHPZC of 7.9. The effects of pH, stirring speed and adsorbent dosage were investigated, and the best results were obtained at pH 5.9, 200 rpm and 2 g·L−1. In monocomponent systems, the Elovich and BET models had the best adjustment, obtaining maximum adsorption capacity of 0.39 mmol·g−1 for Cd2+ and 0.48 mmol·g−1 for Cu2+, and the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. With regard to bicomponent systems, a model was developed in order to predict the evolution and equilibrium of kinetics. BPS had regeneration potential after desorption. These results demonstrate the viability of the use of BPS for the adsorption of Cd2+ and Cu2+ in both systems.

description: Neopatrimonialism has explanatory power regarding the limitations of post-war democratization because it considers the combination of formally-democratic institutions together with power relations based on patronage. Neopatrimonialism does not however explain why marginalized groups make political claims in such inhospitable climates, nor have their experiences of governance processes been adequately explored. This paper addresses this gap based on empirical research in Bosnia-Herzegovina, applying a framework of civic agency to elaborate the goals and capacities of civil society actors. Under what conditions can civic agency foster inclusive governance outcomes? The research found that perceptions of limited and ambiguous outcomes from engagement in governance processes encourage civil society organizations to have incrementalist goals and limit self-perceptions of capacity. Inclusive outcomes were nonetheless more likely with persistent intentions and actions. Transactional capacities based on ties to political actors rather than participatory capacities based on political mobilization were more likely to lead to inclusive governance outcomes.

description: Coastal wetland vegetation is complex in form and function. Accurately mapping the spatial variation of vegetation complexity within these ecosystems is important for identifying areas of high conservation value that provide essential ecosystem services. In this study we delineate wetland vegetation, particularly mangrove and saltmarsh, to a vegetative morphological level that identifies spatial complexity in vegetation structure. This was achieved by integrating light detection and ranging (Lidar) and aerial imagery with an object-based approach. The results demonstrate that this is an effective methodology to identify vegetation complexity, with all study sites having greater than 90% classification accuracy. These high classification accuracies were underpinned by the use of Lidar data that provide detailed structural information about vegetation that is not captured with aerial imagery. This research highlights the importance of identifying spatial variability in vegetation structure when considering the value of coastal ecosystems and the services they provide.
