• Abstract

  The process of new drug discovery is complex and faces significant challenges, such as a high failure rate and limitations in preclinical steps through the use of conventional methods such as 2D cell culture and animal testing. Although they play an important role in basic research, both formats have several limitations, especially the mimicry of human physiology. To overcome these limita…

• Abstract

  Microplastics (MP) are plastic particles smaller than 5 mm in diameter and are particularly concerning due to their long environmental persistence, high surface-to-volume ratio, their ability to enter cells, and induce adverse health effects. In addition to the physical risk posed by the particles, MPs also present a chemical risk, as they may contain various additives in their compositio…

• Abstract

  This research addresses the critical challenge of enabling Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) in disaggregated mobile network architectures, focusing on Open RAN. The primary objective is to develop robust optimization algorithms for adaptive network slicing by leveraging mathematical optimization, reinforcement learning (RL), and neural-based adaptive control mechanisms. Th…

• Abstract

  Glioblastoma remains one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant brain tumors, largely due to the restrictive nature of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the limited bioavailability of systemic therapies. Axitinib, a potent VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, shows therapeutic potential for glioblastoma due to its anti-angiogenic properties. However, its clinical application i…

• Abstract

  This research project aims to analyze the dynamics of land and green grabbing in southern Piauí, emphasizing their implications for social and environmental justice. The study seeks to understand how technical systems, such as the Land Management System (SIGEF) and the Rural Environmental Registry System (SICAR), can paradoxically exacerbate inequalities in access to land and natural reso…

• Abstract

  The relationship between class and culture gained significant prominence with the works of Pierre Bourdieu, particularly following the publication of Distinction in 1979. This book has often been interpreted as suggesting that cultural capital is intrinsically tied to a competent appreciation of high culture-a capacity predominantly held by the class fraction rich in such capital. However…
