Human monkeypox is a zoonotic Orthopoxvirus resembling smallpox in
clinical course, making it difficult to distinguish it from smallpox and
varicella. Laboratory diagnostics are critical components of illness
identification and surveillance, and novel tests are required for more
precise and quick diagnosis. The majority of human infections occur in
Central Africa, where monitoring in remote regions with little
infrastructure is challenging but may be performed using evidence-based
methods and teaching materials that educate public health personnel on
the fundamental principles of this infection. New medications and
vaccinations showed promising results for the treatment and prevention
of the disease, but more studies are required to show their efficacy in
the actual endemic settings. Thus, more studies are needed on the
virus’s epidemiology, ecology, and biology in endemic locations to
better understand and prevent human infections. This review discussed
the etiology, epidemiology, and clinical course of the monkeypox and
indicated diagnostic and treatment approaches for this disease.
Top-down engineering of oil field microbiomes to limit souring and control oil composition during extraction operations
Authors: Hillman Ethan , Martinez Louis Caceres , Kilaz Gozdem , Solomon Kevin
Published: June 2022

Microbial processes sour oil, corrode equipment, and degrade
hydrocarbons at an annual global cost to the oil and gas industry of
nearly $2 billion. However, top-down control of these microbial
processes can reduce their damage and enhance oil recovery. Here, we
screened microbial communities from five oil wells in the Illinois basin
and evaluated nutrient injection strategies to control metabolism and
community composition. Molasses and molybdate supplementation stimulated
significant gas and organic acid production while completely suppressing
corrosive H2S formation in samples from two wells. These changes were
accompanied with significant shaping of the microbiome community.
Simulations of field operations via a lab-scale mini-coreflood validated
that oil well microbiomes can be engineered to also shape oil
hydrocarbon composition in situ. These pilot studies validate the
potential of economical and sustainable top-down microbiome engineering
to control microbes in oil extraction and enhance the economic viability
of oil recovery.
The Genomic Imperative: Michel Houellebecq's The Possibility of an Island
Authors: Moraru Christian
Published: June 2022

“The Genomic Imperative” focuses on French writer Michel Houellebecq's 2005 dystopia The Possibility of an Island (La possibilité d'une île). In its introduction, the essay links Houellebecq's work to the recent tradition of postmodern fiction (on the one hand) and to modern philosophies of the “human” (on the other). The introduction is followed by an analysis of the cultural-existential predicament of Houellebecq's “neohuman” world with particular emphasis on the cloning theme. “Neohumanism,” I argue, rests on a radical abolition of difference. Identity is eminently serial in a disenchanted “society” where “the freedom of indifference” is the ultimate ideal. Notably, indifference is not just a matter of psychology, an attitude toward others. It also speaks to a dedifferentiated world that smudges the vital demarcations between self and other, private and public, interior and exterior, and culture and nature.
Religion and Utopia in Fredric Jameson
Authors: Boer Roland
Published: June 2022

Focusing on the interplay of religion and Utopia in Fredric Jameson's recent Archaeologies of the Future, I identify a tension: on the one hand, the content of religion has been superseded (although not its forms), yet, on the other, Jameson still wishes to make use of a hermeneutics of suspicion and recovery in which even the most retrograde material may be recuperated—religion included. So we find a clash underway in this work. Sometimes Jameson sidelines religion, as one would expect if religion was no longer relevant. At other times, he exercises his dialectical hermeneutics, particularly at two moments: first, a recovery, via Feuerbach, of the role of magic within fantasy literature; second, the partial treatment of apocalyptic, which comes very close to his own argument for Utopia as rupture. From here, I develop the dialectic of ideology and Utopia further by expanding Jameson's comments on the possibilities of medieval theology and the utopian role of religion (both Catholic and Protestant) in More's Utopia.
TAXATION IN UTOPIA
Authors: Goodwin Barbara
Published: June 2022

Utopias of the right and the left offer different justifications for taxation and propose different tax systems. Here, utopian proposals are analysed and evaluated from two perspectives: the “ideal” form of taxation (visible, equitable, and non-avoidable), and the democratic perspective (would people willingly consent to it?). Pre-taxation, favoured by left-wing utopias, raises problems from a democratic standpoint while right-wing utopias assert that taxation must be voluntary but are over-confident that “voluntary government financing” would provide a safety-net for poorer members of society. In the conclusion, I argue that there is more at stake than the left/right dispute. The different attitudes to utopian taxation are indicative of markedly different conceptions of society
Homus Novus: The New Man as Allegory
Authors: Skradol Natalia
Published: June 2022

This article explores the “New Man” as a politically and philosophically charged ideologeme at the end of the 1920s and the beginning of the 1930s in Germany and Russia. It argues that approaching the New Man as an allegory in Walter Benjamin's sense of the term is helpful in understanding its status at the crossroads of the political and utopian discourse of modernity. This article analyzes the New Man as utopian allegory to reassess some of the current categories in more recent debates on political utopianism.
Embodied Anarchy in Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed
Authors: Jaeckle Daniel P.
Published: June 2022

In The Dispossessed, Ursula K. Le Guin embodies a complementary form of anarchism on the planet Anarres. Just as in the scientific theory of the protagonist, Shevek, time is both sequential and simultaneous, so too the individual freedom and social responsibility needed for anarchism to succeed are unified by promising, which itself presupposes sequence and simultaneity. Le Guin examines several challenges to this theory of anarchy: crises that disrupt the complementarity of freedom and responsibility; fear; the desire for power; incompatible ideologies; and hopelessness. Despite the exposure of its limits, however, anarchy survives as the best political option in the novel.
Visions of Happiness: Daoist Utopias and Grotto Paradises in Early and Medieval Chinese Tales
Authors: Chiang Sing-chen Lydia
Published: June 2022

This study traces the respective evolutions of two separate motifs—Daoist utopia and grotto heavens (dongtian)—in early and medieval Chinese literature, and discusses the significance of their convergence in the influential literary classic “Peach Blossom Spring” ("Taohua yuan ji") by Tao Qian (aka Tao Yuanming, 365—427). The purposes of this article are twofold: first, to enhance our understanding of the ideological and textual connections between “Peach Blossom Spring” and Confucianism and Daoism; second, to offer new insights into the unique characteristics of Chinese utopianism, where political vision and mythical imagination frequently were inter-twined.
The Shaker “Gift” Economy: Charisma, Aesthetic Practice and Utopian Communalism
Authors: Sarbanes Janet
Published: June 2022

This article considers the Shakers' vibrant, expressive culture, which they referred to as “gifts” ("the gift of song,” “the dancing gift,” “the whirling gift,” and so on), as the source and sustenance of their charismatic communalism. Drawing on Max Weber's discussion of charisma and institution, and Marcel Mauss's famous description of the “gift economy,” I argue that Shaker society harbored a deep flexibility towards and admiration for creativity that allowed charismatic relations to co-exist alongside a strict top-down organization, and indeed, to take precedence at moments when the reinvigoration of social bonds was of crucial importance to the sect's continuance
When Science Fiction Writers Used Fictional Drugs: Rise and Fall of the Twentieth-Century Drug Dystopia
Authors: Hickman John
Published: June 2022

This article compares seven novels published from 1932 to 1980 which are set in drug dystopias (near future societies where pharmacology produces or reinforces a dystopian social order) in order to answer two questions. What are the effects and symbolic meanings of the fictional drugs they describe? Why are there so few examples of this subgenre? Today, their warnings about the reduction of populations to docility or of assaults on the integrity of individual minds seem overwrought, and the apparent passing of the subgenre need not be mourned. Two of the seven novels, however, Brave New World and A Scanner Darkly, continue to be read because they warn against more subtle forms of tyranny.
Determinants of Small for Gestational Age in Women with Type 2 Diabetes in Pregnancy: Who should get Metformin?
Authors: Feig Denice S , Zinman Bernard , Asztalos Elizabeth , Donovan Lois E , Shah Prakesh S , Sanchez J Johanna , Tomlinson George , Murphy Kellie E , Group the MiTy Collaborative
Published: June 2022

OBJECTIVE

In the MiTy [Metformin in Women with Type 2 Diabetes in Pregnancy] randomized trial of metformin vs placebo added to insulin, we found numerous benefits with metformin but identified an increased proportion of small for gestational age (SGA) infants. We aimed to determine the predictors of SGA in order to individualize care.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Using logistic regression, we assessed baseline maternal characteristics as predictors of SGA. We compared maternal/neonatal outcomes in SGA metformin and placebo groups using t-tests, chi-squared tests or Fisher’s exact tests, as appropriate.  

RESULTS

Of the 502 mothers, 460 infants were eligible for this study. There were 30 infants with SGA in the metformin group (12.9%) and 15 in the placebo group (6.6%) (p=0.026). Among SGA infants, those in the metformin group delivered significantly later than those in the placebo group (37.2 vs 35.3 weeks, p=0.038). In adjusted analyses, the presence of a comorbidity (chronic hypertension and/or nephropathy, OR 3.05 (95%CI1.58-5.81) and metformin use (OR 2.26 (95%CI1.19 to 4.74)) were predictive of SGA. The absolute risk of SGA was much higher in women on metformin with comorbidity compared to women on metformin without comorbidity (25.0% vs 9.8%).

CONCLUSIONS

In this study we observed a high percentage of SGA births among women with type 2 diabetes and chronic hypertension and/or nephropathy who were treated with metformin. Thus, with the aim of reducing SGA, it is reasonable to be cautious in our use of metformin in those with T2D and chronic hypertension or nephropathy in pregnancy.

Published: June 2022

Objectives

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of an innovative double-layer, single-application desensitizing/whitening technique of potassium nitrate (PN) and hydrogen peroxide (HP) diffusion at different time points.

Methods and Materials

Specimens were prepared from extracted caries-free human molars (n=90). Teeth were randomly assigned into four groups: Group A (HP CTRL) treated with 25% HP for 45 minutes, group B (PN CTRL) received a single-layer treatment of 5% PN for 45 minutes, group C received the double-layer treatment of 5% PN and 25% HP for 45 minutes, and group D received a 3% PN incorporated in a 40% HP gel for 45 minutes. PN and HP concentrations were measured at 5, 15, 30, and 45 minutes using standard chemical kits. Group comparisons were made using a repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. Pairwise tests for differences in diffusion were done, using the Tukey adjustment of p values for multiple comparisons. A significance level of 5% was used.

Results

Group A showed no significant difference in HP diffusion rates between the 5- and 15-minute, 15- and 30-minute, or 30- and 45-minute time points; group D showed a similar trend; however, group C differed significantly at the 5-and 15-minute time points (p=0.0004), at the 15-and 30-minute time points (p=0.0026), and the 30- and 45-minute time points (p=0.0014). For PN diffusion, groups B and C had significantly different levels at the 15-, 30-, and 45-minute time points (p=0.0005, p=0.0002, and p<0.0001, respectively); and at the 15-, 30-, and 45-minute time points, groups D and C had significantly different PN diffusion (p=0.0327, p=0.0004, and p< 0.0001, respectively). Group C had significantly different PN diffusion at the 5- and 15-minute time points (p=0.0004), the 15- and 30-minute time points (p=0.0026), and at the 30- and 45-minute time points (p=0.0014).

Conclusion

The double-layer technique showed superior diffusion of PN into the pulp chamber and did not affect the diffusion of HP when compared to other techniques. The double-layer technique may be suggested as an alternative tooth-whitening treatment to minimize tooth sensitivity.

Published: June 2022

Factors influencing the vacuum gauge pressure in the inter-wall chamber of milking teat cups of a milking machine with a pneumo- and electromagnetic pulse generator with a combined collector are analyzed. The main factors of research and the limits of their variation are formed, the matrix of multifactor planned experiment is developed, and also results of experimental researches are received. According to the results of experimental studies, the regression equations in coded and real or natural values are derived, which characterize the dependence of pressure oscillation in the inter-wall chamber of milking teat cups on the pulsation frequency, milk ejection intensity and the ratio between strokes. A graphical model of interpretation of regression dependence based on experimental data is built. Student's t-test, Fisher's and Cochran’s criteria are calculated, which show the adequacy and reproducibility of the obtained model of the technological process using of the experimental pulse generator with combined collector of the milking machine.
Justification of vibrating hopper hole parameters during fine grained bulk material unloading
Authors:   Department of Robotics and Integrated Technologies of Mechanical Engineering, Lviv Polytechnic National   University, Maherus Nadiia ,   Department of Robotics and Integrated Technologies of Mechanical Engineering, Lviv Polytechnic National   University, Sholoviy Yuriy
Published: June 2022

Purpose. The leakage process of the fine grained bulk material (BM) from the unloading hopper is considered. As known the BM behaviour during the unloading process is directly related to the material stress state (active or passive) inside the hopper, which depends on the physical and mechanical bulk material properties, as well as hopper geometric parameters. At the boundary of the transition from the cylindrical part to the conical part of the unloading hopper hole, the horizontal stresses that precede the leakage of the material increase sharply. The use of vibration reduces horizontal stresses in the hopper and thus improves the bulk product fluidity. Also, the use of vibration reduces the probability of the free-fall arch formation over the outlet. Therefore, the present paper is aimed at developing the mathematical model of the fine grained bulk material flow under the vibration action from the conical hopper hole. Methodology. It is used one of the methods of studying the BM behavior, namely the analysis of the stress state of the conditionally stationary (pseudo-stationary) layer of the product and the force balance equation in the free-fall arch is made for further study of the geometric parameters of the unloading hole. Findings. In this paper, the mathematical model of the BM behavior in the conical hopper hole is developed. Since the most determining factor influencing the hopper productivity is the outlet diameter, so based on the developed model, it is established relationships that allow determining all parameters that affect the diameter. Graphical dependences are obtained, which allow to estimate the influence of the angle inclination of the hopper hole walls on the value of the hopper outlet size at active and passive stress states. The dependence of the diameter of the unloading hopper hole on the BM properties is also established. The BM properties directly affect the initial shear resistance of the material. The influence of vibration on the unloading hole geometry is presented. Originality. The pseudo-immobile layer of bulk product is considered in the developed mathematical model, and it is investigated how vibration affects the BM behavior in this layer. Practical value. The practical value of this paper lies in the possibility of further mathematical modeling of the influence of the BM properties, hopper geometric dimensions and vibration on the product behavior in the material leakage process from the hopper. The results of the studies, presented in the form of graphs, can be used during the vibrating hopper design and the selection of rational modes of hopper operation.

The research method used is the Error Correction Model. The data in this study are data obtained from the website of the Central Statistics Agency, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Financial Services Authority in Indonesian banking statistics. The scope of this research is monthly time series data from 2015 to 2019. Based on research that has been carried out in the long term, there is only one variable that has a significant effect, namely the gross domestic product of agriculture which has a positive relationship with the distribution of agricultural credit. While other variables have no significant effect. Likewise, in the short term, there is no significant variable on agricultural credit. Changes in demand for agricultural credit that occur are sensitive to changes in the gross domestic product of the agricultural sector as indicated by a probability value that is smaller than the real level value. This then becomes the basis for policy considerations as well as information for interested parties in this matter. Therefore, the results of this study are expected to be able to provide a reference in optimizing the demand for agricultural credit to banks.Keywords: Agricultural Credit, Inflation, Gross Domestic Product of Agriculture, Interest Rate of Agriculture
