Tattoos in the Wake of Trauma: Transforming Personal Stories of Suffering into Public Stories of Coping

ABSTRACT Growing numbers of trauma survivors have chosen to cope with their ongoing invisible wounds through tattooing their bodies. This phenomenon includes individuals as well as organized and documented projects held in public spaces. The topic of body modification through tattoos has benefited from an explosion in academic interest; however, there has been little scholarly attention directed at examining how tattoo practices may be understood as a means of coping with trauma within a contemporary cultural context. While drawing on psychological and cultural studies’ perspectives we explored the meanings attributed to tattoos by trauma survivors. Analyzing documented personal accounts of tattooed survivors in different countries, we illustrated how being tattooed appears to be a personal way of coping with trauma as well as a cultural practice of meaning making. The meanings attributed by trauma survivors’ included: exposing their trauma for recognition, witnessing, meaningfulness of the tattoo, connection, control, and transformation. The meaning-making process appears to be continuous and dynamic, shaped by psychological responses, social interactions, and cultural narratives.
Reliability Evaluation for Power Converter of SRM on Fault-Tolerance Capability and Thermal Stress

In this article, a novel reliability evaluation scheme to achieve quantitative reliability calculation for power converter in the whole operation region of switched reluctance motor system is proposed. First, the electrical model is built to obtain electrical stress and fault-tolerance capability in the Matlab/Simulink environment. Second, the thermal circuit model is performed to get the thermal stress of power converter quickly. Third, the dynamical Markov model with a novel failure criterion is applied to achieve quantitative reliability calculation by characterizing the fault-tolerance capability and thermal stress. The proposed failure criterion can simplify the model to decrease the number of states and avoid the divergence of results, especially the interconnected relationship between the three models is key emphasized. Next, the proposed reliability evaluation scheme is carried out to explore the reliability of power converter under different chopping modes. Finally, simulations in conjunction with experiment verify the validity of the proposed reliability evaluation scheme.
Dynamic relationship between the stock market and macroeconomy in China (1995–2018): new evidence from the continuous wavelet analysis

Abstract This article examines the relationship between the stock market and three widely used macroeconomic variables, namely industrial production growth, inflation, and long-term interest rate in China. We use the continuous wavelet analysis to investigate the correlations and lead–lag relationships between them in the time–frequency domain by covering a period of 1995M01-2018M04. Our findings show the positive relationship between stock returns and industrial production growth and between stock returns and inflation. Notably, we find that stock returns and long-term interest rate are negatively correlated in short and medium terms, while they are positively correlated in the long term. The puzzling positive correlation between stock returns and interest rate as well as the mixed lead–lag relationships suggest that the Chinese stock market is quite undeveloped. There are breakdowns of the link between the stock market and macroeconomy. Neither the stock return can be used as a leading indicator of the macroeconomy nor the real economy could predict the booms or busts of the Chinese stock market.

False Trajectory Privacy Protection Scheme Based on Location Service

When the user applies for a location continuous query service, the user location privacy may be revealed due to different types of trajectory identification. A false trajectory privacy protection scheme is proposed, which uses the real-time generation of similar trajectories to protect the user’s personal location privacy. The false location set is established by initial anonymous location selection, similar trajectory location calculation and generated location selection. The false location is used to form a false trajectory similar to the real location trajectory, which reduces the probability of attacker identification and achieves real-time trajectory anonymity based on location service. Finally, the effectiveness of the scheme is verified by performance analysis and experimental results.
An Integrated Model for Storage Location Assignment and Storage/Retrieval Scheduling in AS/RS system

An integrated optimization framework, including location assignment under grouping class-based storage policy and schedule of dual shuttle cranes, is offered by presenting a new optimization programming model. The objective functions, which are considered at this level, are the minimization of total costs and energy consumption. Scheduling of dual shuttle cranes among specified locations, which were determined in the upper-level, is conducted in the lower-level by considering time windows and balance constraints under multi-period planning condition. A modified nested diﬀerential evolution-based algorithm is introduced so as to solve the proposed model because it is an Np-hard bi-level bi-objective optimization model. Eventually, with the intention of illustrating the validation of the presented optimization model and solution methodology, various numerical experiments are tailored, and different comparative numerical examples are provided based on two current algorithms in the literature. Sensitivity analyses illustrate that grouping class-based storage policy could be rendered superior planning of operations in both levels of the investigated problem.
Predictors of Cyberbullying among Malaysian Youth

Cyberbullying has emerged of late as a serious issue, especially among the most active internet users in Malaysia – youths. As the number of related studies is still lacking, the present study aims to determine the predictors of cyberbullying among youths in Malaysia. The study is quantitative in nature and in total had involved 400 youths aged between 18 to 40 years old. The findings suggest that predictors such as age, loneliness, self-esteem, and empathy yielded significant relationship with cyberbullying, while males were predominantly reported to perpetrate cyberbullying than females. Several recommendations were highlighted and hopefully, it can assist any concerned parties in developing concrete strategies to reduce cyberbullying cases among youths in Malaysia further.

Caractérisation de la variabilité du système protéolytique de surface de la bactérie lactique Streptococcus thermophilus

La variabilite du systeme proteolytique de surface a ete etudiee chez 30 souches de St. thermophilus. Cette variabilite consiste en la presence ou l'absence du gene prtS, en la presence de deux alleles differents de ce gene, en la presence d'une protease PrtS ancree et/ou soluble et enfin en l'expression variable, due a une variabilite de la regulation du systeme proteolytique, du gene prtS et d'autres genes qui interviennent, pour la plupart, dans le metabolisme azote. L'expression des genes prtS, pepX, pepC, pepN, amiA1CDEF, dtpT, livJHMGF, ilvC, ilvDBN, bcaT, ackA, ldh, codY et relA a ete quantifiee chez les souches PB302 et PB18O en lait et en milieu M17. La souche PB302 est representative des souches qui se developpent rapidement en lait alors que la souche PB18O l'est de celles qui ont une croissance intermediaire dans ce milieu. Alors que l'expression des genes etudies est peu differente en milieu M17 ou les deux souches ont une croissance similaire, cette expression diverge lorsque les deux souches sont cultivees en lait.Globalement, la difference de croissance observee en lait entre les deux souches pourrait resulter d'une variabilite de la capacite proteolytique et de l'expression, entre autres, des genes codant PrtS, le regulateur CodY, les transporteurs des oligopeptides (Ami), des di-tripeptides (DtpT) et des acides amines ramifies (LivJ) et de ceux codant des enzymes impliquees dans la voie de biosynthese des acides amines ramifies (IlvC, IlvB et BcaT), ces derniers etant necessaires pour la croissance en lait. Tous ces genes possedent en amont de leur promoteur une boite CodY potentielle et pourraient donc appartenir au regulon CodY.
Groundwater Contribution to Sewer Network Baseflow in an Urban Catchment-Case Study of Pin Sec Catchment, Nantes, France

Sewer systems affect urban soil characteristics and subsoil water flow. The direct connection observed between baseflow in sewer systems under drainage infiltrations and piezometric levels influences the hydrological behavior of urban catchments, and must consequently be considered in the hydrologic modeling of urban areas. This research studies the groundwater contribution to sewer networks by first characterizing the phenomenon using experimental data recorded on a small urban catchment in Nantes (France). Then, the model MODFLOW was used to simulate the infiltration of groundwater into a sewer network and model dry weather flows at an urban catchment scale. This application of MODFLOW requires representing, in a simplified way, the interactions between the soil and the sewer trench, which acts as a drain. Observed average groundwater levels were satisfactorily simulated by the model while the baseflow dynamics is well reproduced. Nonetheless, soil parameters resulted to be very sensitive, and achieving good results for joint groundwater levels and baseflow was not possible.
AN OVERVIEW ON INTERNET OF THINGS ( IOT)

Nowadays, the main communication form on the Internet is human-human. But it is foreseeable that in a near soon that any object will have a unique way of identification and can be addressed so that every object can be connected. The Internet will become to the Internet of Things. The communicate forms will expand from human-human to human-human, human-thing and thing-thing (also called M2M). This will bring a new ubiquitous computing and communication era and change people's life extremely. Radio Frequency Identification techniques (RFID) and related identification technologies will be the cornerstones of the upcoming Internet of Things (IOT). The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

Expected Return, Firm Fundamentals, and Aggregate Systemic Risk: An Analysis for the Brazilian Market using an Accounting-Based Valuation Model

Purpose – This paper examines the ability of Lyle, Callen, and Elliott's (2013) valuation accounting model in estimating expected returns (cost of capital) in the Brazilian capital market. Design/methodology/approach – To test the model's ability to generate expected returns (cost of capital), as well as to predict prices, Fama-Macbeth's (1973) monthly cross-sectional regressions were used. Sensitivity to different risk factors, particularly to the whole (systematic) economy risk, was also tested to forecast returns using a two-stage approach. Findings – The results showed that even under different conditions, the accounting model evaluated has unsatisfactory performance with emerging country data, during the analysis period. Moreover, the sensitivity of return to the risk factors employed was not a determinant for the forecasts. However, the findings showed consistency for price forecasting, and the evidence was consistent with the work applied in the American market. Originality/value – For the Brazilian case, the model failed to capture the dynamics of asset returns, showing that the capital market under analysis has its own characteristics and requires a methodology that considers this.
On the influence of pyrochlore phase on ferroelectric and dielectric properties of PZT thin films

Abstract The intrinsic contribution of dielectric permittivity was obtained in thin films of PZT pyrolyzed at different temperatures. Pyrochlore phases were observed in films pyrolyzed at temperatures above 350 °C, while only the perovskite phase grows in films pyrolyzed at temperatures lower than 300 °C. Dielectric and ferroelectric properties were characterized, and their behaviors were related to pyrolysis temperature. The dielectric permittivity dependence on the bias electric field was investigated at room temperature for different PZT thin films, and these curves were used to reconstruct the hysteresis loops. In this work, a model was used to reconstruct the hysteretic behavior of the films. The experimental results are in excellent agreement with the applied model.
Rosiglitazone alleviates intrahepatic cholestasis induced by α‐naphthylisothiocyanate in mice: The role of circulating 15‐deoxy‐Δ12,14‐PGJ2 and Nogo

Intrahepatic cholestasis is mainly caused by dysfunction of bile secretion and has limited effective treatment. Rosiglitazone is a synthetic agonist of PPARγ, whose endogenous agonist is 15‐deoxy‐Δ12,14‐PGJ2 (15d‐PGJ2). Reticulon 4B (Nogo‐B) is the detectable Nogo protein family member in the liver and secreted into circulation. Here, we determined if rosiglitazone can alleviate intrahepatic cholestasis in mice.
Framework for improving outcome prediction for acute to chronic low back pain transitions

Abstract Clinical practice guidelines and the Federal Pain Research Strategy (United States) have recently highlighted research priorities to lessen the public health impact of low back pain (LBP). It may be necessary to improve existing predictive approaches to meet these research priorities for the transition from acute to chronic LBP. In this article, we first present a mapping review of previous studies investigating this transition and, from the characterization of the mapping review, present a predictive framework that accounts for limitations in the identified studies. Potential advantages of implementing this predictive framework are further considered. These advantages include (1) leveraging routinely collected health care data to improve prediction of the development of chronic LBP and (2) facilitating use of advanced analytical approaches that may improve prediction accuracy. Furthermore, successful implementation of this predictive framework in the electronic health record would allow for widespread testing of accuracy resulting in validated clinical decision aids for predicting chronic LBP development.
Spatial and temporal characteristics of the daily precipitation concentration index over China from 1979 to 2015

Irregular precipitation has a nontrivial influence on hydrological processes and regional agriculture. The precipitation concentration index provides convenient quantitative characterizations of precipitation variability. To explore the spatial and temporal distribution of the precipitation concentration index, the long-term concentration index (LCI) and the annual concentration index (ACI) during 1979–2015 were calculated based on the China Meteorological Forcing Dataset. The results are as follows: (1) The LCI in China ranged from 0.4571 to 0.9197, and the values between 0.6 and 0.7 accounted for 61.61% of the dataset. The highest and lowest LCI values were both recorded in Northwest China, which features low precipitation levels. Additionally, there are high LCI values (greater than 0.6) in Southeast China, which features high precipitation levels. (2) Application of the Mann-Kendall test (M-K test) and Sen's slope revealed that more than 88% of the grids exhibited nonsignificant positive or negative ACI trends and that more than 10% of the grid ACI values exhibited positive trends, with approximately 2.8% showing significant changes at the 0.1 significance level. (3) Application of the Pettitt test revealed that approximately 11.9% of the grid ACI values exhibited an abrupt change at the 0.5 significance level, with abrupt changes occurring in 1991, 1992 and 1993, together accounting for 45.89% of all grids with abrupt changes.
A Genetically Encodable Ligand for Transfer Hydrogenation

Simple tripeptides are shown here to be versatile ligands for iridium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenations affording large acceleration effects. A water-soluble iridium complex with Gly-Gly-Phe, for example, catalyzes the reduction of diverse ketones, aldehydes, and imines by formate with turnover frequencies rivaling or outperforming those of established ligand systems. Regioselective reduction of coenzyme NAD+ to NADH illustrates the potential utility of this system for biotechnological applications. Because peptides are genetically encodable, they represent an attractive class of foldamer ligands for creating artificial metalloenzymes.
The influence of framing on the legitimacy of impact assessment: examining the heritage impact assessments conducted for the Liverpool Waters project

ABSTRACT The expertise of impact assessment practitioners and the legitimacy of their reports are increasingly being questioned. We analyze the subjectivity of impact assessment by exploring how the framing undertaken within Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) influences decision making about spatial development projects. Framing is the process by which actors order and make sense of social reality. We argue that framing influences the content, conclusions, effectiveness and legitimacy of impact assessment reports. We examined a major urban redevelopment, the Liverpool Waters project, for which three HIAs were commissioned to assess its impact on the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage site. These HIAs had varying outcomes with differences in baseline information, variables considered, methods used, and assessment of impacts. In our in-depth interviews with practitioners and decision makers involved with these HIAs, discussion of legitimacy centered around assumed differences between local and non-local knowledge. We argue that awareness of the role of framing is needed in the impact assessment field, and that transparency and participation by local stakeholders are crucial to prevent framing from having an undue influence.
Difficulties of living with an illness not considered a “Disease” : Focusing on the illness behavior of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome patients

This paper focuses on the illness behavior of patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) to clarify difficulties in their lives through comparison with a five-stage model of illness behavior. ME/ CFS is considered a typical disease with medically unexplained symptoms (MUS), which refers to a condition where symptoms suggest the presence of a physical disease whose cause cannot be found by examination. Although previous studies of ME/CFS have focused on specifi c events, such as diagnosis, and the psychological changes that accompany them, the chronological events experienced by patients and the transformation of the problems they face have not been adequately grasped. This paper analyzes ME/CFS patients’ illness behavior through interviews and explores the diffi culties patients face at each stage of illness behavior. In ME/CFS patients’ narratives, their illness behavior shows complexities of going back and forth between stages, rather than progressing step by step like an acute illness. The seemingly excessive treatment behavior called “doctor shopping” is actually linked to doctors’ ignorance, suspicion, and incomprehension of diseases without a biomarker, rather than the desire of the patient to dispel an “inappropriate” label of laziness and mental illness. Indeed, it would be more accurate to say that interviewees were not accepted by several hospitals. In addition, since patients are often suspected of not being really ill even after diagnosis, they cannot experience the dependent-patient role. Therefore, by becoming an “active patient” by themselves, ME/CFS patients must undertake the “independent-patient role” to secure necessary treatment and welfare services. It should be noted that these patient behaviors are not undertaken for secondary gain but are due to their having no other way to receive necessary care.
