    Abstract Urinary biomarkers can predict the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this study, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) were correlated with the stages of CKD, and the association of these biomarkers with CKD progression and adverse outcomes was determined. A total of 250 patients, including 111 on hemodialysis, were studied. Urinary KIM-1, NGAL, and NAG were measured at baseline. Patients not on dialysis at baseline who progressed to a worse CKD stage were compared with those who did not progress. The association of each biomarker and selected covariates with progression to more advanced stages of CKD, end-stage kidney disease, or death was evaluated by Poisson regression. NGAL was moderately correlated (rs=0.467, P<0.001) with the five stages of CKD; KIM-1 and NAG were also correlated, but weakly. Sixty-four patients (46%) progressed to a more advanced stage of CKD. Compared to non-progressors, those patients exhibited a trend to higher levels of KIM-1 (P=0.064) and NGAL (P=0.065). In patients not on dialysis at baseline, NGAL was independently associated with progression of CKD, ESKD, or death (RR=1.022 for 300 ng/mL intervals; CI=1.007-1.037, P=0.004). In patients on dialysis, for each 300-ng/mL increase in urinary NGAL, there was a 1.3% increase in the risk of death (P=0.039). In conclusion, urinary NGAL was associated with adverse renal outcomes and increased risk of death in this cohort. If baseline urinary KIM-1 and NGAL predict progression to worse stages of CKD is something yet to be explored.

    Abstract Diferenciação espacial é o resultado da ação combinada de processos naturais e sociais que produziu uma superfície terrestre fragmentada, irregular, complexa e mutável, porém articulada. A superfície terrestre pode assim ser vista como um caleidoscópio, possibilitando diferentes leituras. Os termos paisagem, região, território, lugar e rede revelam esta diversidade de leituras a respeito da diferenciação espacial. Esta não se constitui em um conceito chave da Geografia, mas na motivação, no olhar com que o geógrafo analisa a ação humana sobre a superfície terrestre. Temporalidade e espacialidade estão presentes na diferenciação espacial. A desigualdade espacial é o lado perverso da diferenciação espacial e deve, assim, ser eliminada. Uma diferenciação espacial socialista constitui um possível caminho para o futuro, garantindo diferenças nos modos de ver, sentir, pensar, conhecer, comunicar e agir dos seres humanos, diferentes e simultaneamente iguais entre si.

    Abstract Polymer composites, hailed for their ultra-strength and lightweight attributes, stand out as promising materials for the upcoming era of space vehicles. The selection of the polymer matrix plays a pivotal role in material design, given its significant impact on bulk-level properties through the reinforcement/polymer interface. To aid in the systematic design of such composite systems, molecular-level calculations are employed to establish the relationship between interfacial characteristics and mechanical response, specifically stiffness. This study focuses on the interaction of fluorinated and non-fluorinated cyanate ester monomers with graphene or a BN monolayer, representing non-polymerized ester composites. Utilizing micromechanics and the density functional theory method to analyze interaction energy, charge density, and stiffness, our findings reveal that the fluorinated cyanate-ester monomer demonstrates lower interaction energy, reduced pull-apart force, and a higher separation point compared to the non-fluorinated counterpart. This behavior is attributed to the steric hindrance caused by fluorine atoms. Furthermore, the BN monolayer exhibits enhanced transverse stiffness due to increased interfacial strength, stemming from the polar nature of B-N bonds on the surface, as opposed to the C-C bonds of graphene. These molecular-level results are intended to inform the design of next-generation composites incorporating cyanate esters, specifically for structural applications.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of the usefulness of suPAR as a prognostic marker in non-critical COVID-19 patients.
    Materials and methods: We carried out a literature search in MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science using the following keywords: ("soluble urokinase receptor" OR "urokinase plasminogen activator receptor" OR "suPAR" OR "soluble uPAR" OR "soluble uPA receptor") AND ("COVID-19" OR "SARS-CoV-2"). We included observational studies (descriptive or analytic) that measured plasma suPAR on COVID-19 patients 18 years old or older, with non-critical disease at the beginning of the study.
    Results: After screening and eligibility assessment, a total of 16 articles were included in the review. Most studies that measured mean differences found that suPAR levels were higher in patients with worse outcomes. The studies that measured diagnostic accuracy concluded that suPAR was highly sensitive and moderately specific to predicting bad outcomes. Studies that performed a survival analysis found that patients with high suPAR levels were more at risk of bad outcomes. Most of the studies included in this review were performed before extensive vaccination and omicron wave.
    Conclusions: COVID-19 patients with moderate initial disease and elevated suPAR levels are more at risk of poor outcomes. Larger prospective clinical trials are needed to confirm the results obtained in this review.
