The role of ideology in the international mainstream news media framing of refugees: A comparison between conservative and liberal newspapers in United States, United Kingdom and Australia*
Authors: Kenix Linda Jean , Jarvandi Reza
Published: November 2019

This research examines coverage of refugees in an attempt to further understand how media frames are actively, and perhaps ideologically, constructed. Articles between 2010 and 2015 were analysed in accordance with their publication in sixteen different news publications from the United
States, Australia and the United Kingdom. The newspapers were selected from opposite ends of the ideological political spectrum. This research explores the consequences of these findings for the international community and for objective international newspaper reporting.
Performing citizenship illegally: The Nimis Groupe and political migrant theatre in Europe
Authors: Paire Roxane
Published: November 2019

The Nimis Groupe are an international theatre collective made up of six Belgian and six French actors. Roxane Paire interviewed them in 2015 while they were working on a play entitled Ceux que j'ai rencontrés ne m'ont peut-être pas vu (Those that I've met probably did not see me). This piece focused on the legal mechanisms of asylum in the European Union and was performed by actors from the company who performed onstage alongside some of the migrants who had informed the research for the play. This intervention discusses the ethical implications of the European members of the company working alongside migrants who were not at that point legally recognized as citizens.

CHARACTERISTICS AND IMPACTS OF TROPICAL CYCLONES GROWING AROUND INDONESIAN TERRITORY. Tropical cyclone is a cyclonic originates from tropical oceans and driven principally by heat transfer from the ocean. Tropical cyclone is an atmospheric phenomenon characterized by the emergence of low air pressure that triggers the occurrence of strong winds due to the process of heat transfer from the equator to the latitude. This phenomenon can not be prevented, so that it has great potential to impact on the damage in the area it through. Tropical cyclones can be characterized through their life cycle, scale of power and how it impacts in the area it through. The Cempaka and Dahlia tropical cyclone occuring in 2017 greatly influenced territory of Indonesia. The effect of the cyclone causes extreme weather in Indonesia, especially in areas close to where cyclones are formed.

Published: November 2019

O conceito de sustentabilidade evoluiu de acordo com a percepção dos níveis hierárquicos em que é aplicada, de nações a empresas. O objetivo deste artigo é propor um alinhamento entre os conceitos de sustentabilidade corporativa e territorial por meio de conexões entre programas de gestão da sustentabilidade por indicadores. Para tanto, foi realizada pesquisa sistemática da literatura e, a partir da identificação de dez programas de gestão da sustentabilidade territorial e doze modelos de avaliação da sustentabilidade corporativa, foi realizada análise de conteúdo dos indicadores sobre suas similaridades e tendências. Por meio de tal análise, elaborou-se um diagrama com as conexões entre um território e uma organização corporativa na busca por desempenhos mais sustentáveis. Constatou-se uma pluralidade de dimensões e conexões a serem abordadas entre a sustentabilidade corporativa e a sustentabilidade territorial. Quatro principais conexões foram definidas: Conformidade Legal; Padronização de Processos; Eficiência e Gestão de Riscos; e Cadeia Sustentável de Valor. Dessas conexões, buscou-se traduzir possíveis ligações para apoiar estratégias conjuntas entre governo e empresa, destacando-se a necessidade de enfoques inovadores e construção participativa.
AS MÚLTIPLAS REPRESENTAÇÕES NO COTIDIANO: OS PAPÉIS DO DOCENTE DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO STRICTO SENSU EM ADMINISTRAÇÃO NO BRASIL
Authors: VILLAR EDUARDO GUEDES , CORREA MARCOS VINÍCIUS PEREIRA , WALTER SILVANA ANITA , LOURENÇO MARIANE LEMOS
Published: November 2019

Neste trabalho, objetiva-se compreender como os papéis sociais são tipificados pelos docentes dos cursos de pós-graduação stricto sensu em Administração no Brasil. Realizou-se uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, adotando-se um estudo de casos múltiplos e a realização de 29 entrevistas com professores de 27 programas. A tipificação de papéis acontece quando o ator, como ser coletivo, atua em um determinado contexto com conhecimentos comuns a uma determinada coletividade de atores. Como resultado, evidenciou-se que os docentes assumem uma multiplicidade de papéis nas instituições de ensino superior e programas de pós-graduação para desenvolverem suas atividades cotidianas, de maneira que representam não apenas papel de professor, mas de pesquisador, orientador, coordenador, entre outros. A partir disso, esses múltiplos papéis, ora complementares, ora dissonantes, fazem com que o docente tenha que lidar com as diferentes pressões institucionais de representá-los, o que faz com que o docente acabe reprimindo determinadas atividades ou postergue-as para períodos que seriam de lazer e descanso. A contribuição central deste estudo está em compreender os meandros da própria profissão docente e os desafios da produção do conhecimento científico no país, uma vez que, nesse nível de ensino, realiza-se a formação dos futuros professores e pesquisadores do ensino superior.
O DARK SIDE DAS NARRATIVAS NA PUBLICIDADE: A EXPLORAÇÃO DE TRAGÉDIAS E ATROCIDADES EM PEÇAS PUBLICITÁRIAS

Published: November 2019

Neste estudo, nosso objetivo é explorar o modo como as organizações gerenciam os significados de tragédias e atrocidades externas a elas em campanhas publicitárias para atingir seus objetivos. A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa, com suporte no paradigma interpretativista. Para compor o material empírico, selecionamos seis propagandas divulgadas nas mídias, em vídeos ou em cartazes, por organizações de diferentes tipos. Para alcançar nosso objetivo, realizamos a análise estrutural-semiológica do material selecionado para avaliar como textos e imagens são empregados na construção das propagandas. Como resultados, identificamos os significados: “castigo para a obesidade”, “ser feliz na guerra”, “não às armas”, “informação é vida”, “descanso em tempos de terror” e “morte e solidariedade”. Ainda, apontamos que fenômenos trágicos são aproximados do contexto organizacional, e as organizações exibem capacidades e habilidades para interagir com tais atrocidades e tragédias, bem como gerenciar o seu significado sombrio, por meio de narrativas e estratégias discursivas, para alcançar seus objetivos corporativos.
CAMPO CIENTÍFICO, CONHECIMENTO E RELAÇÕES DE PODER NA UNIVERSIDADE: UMA REVISÃO A PARTIR DO PENSAMENTO RELACIONAL DE PIERRE BOURDIEU
Authors: Volpato Gildo
Published: November 2019

O objetivo deste artigo de revisão é contribuir com o debate acerca das relações de poder no âmbito da universidade advindo do campo científico, dos diferentes campos profissionais e das diferentes estruturas que dão base ao conhecimento educacional. O texto procura reapresentar essa discussão tendo como base o pensamento relacional de Pierre Bourdieu. A partir do estudo bibliográfico, é possível afirmar que as diferentes áreas de conhecimento gravitam em torno de uma estrutura, de certa forma hierarquizada, de diferentes juízos de valores e sistemas simbólicos que variam de acordo com níveis, graus, diplomas e instituições de ensino superior. As diferentes áreas de conhecimento precedem de pedagogias que tendem a reproduzir estas práticas e a própria estrutura em que elas acontecem. Foi possível compreender que o campo científico, a estrutura educacional responsável pela distribuição do conhecimento, bem como o campo pedagógico em que os professores estão imersos, carregam as marcas de uma história de práticas e de lutas anteriores, e que estas continuam, de certa forma, a condicionar as tomadas de decisões dos agentes no seio da universidade. Tais decisões também são influenciadas pelo contexto socioeconômico e cultural, pelo campo científico e pelo poder de cada campo profissional, seja na universidade ou na sociedade.
Artificial Intelligence for the Determination of a Management Strategy for Diminutive Colorectal Polyps: Hype, Hope, or Help
Authors: Cho Bum-Joo , Bang Chang Seok
Published: November 2019

Most colorectal polyps are diminutive, and malignant potential for these polyps is uncommon, especially for those in the rectosigmoid. However, many diminutive polyps are still being resected to determine whether these are adenomas or serrated/hyperplastic polyps. Resecting all the diminutive polyps is not cost-effective. Therefore, gastroenterologists have proposed optical diagnosis using image-enhanced endoscopy for polyp characterization. These technologies have achieved favorable outcomes, but are not widely available. Artificial intelligence has been used in clinical medicine to classify lesions. Here, artificial intelligence technology for the characterization of colorectal polyps is discussed in a decision-making context regarding diminutive colorectal polyps.

Published: November 2019

Today, medical data such as diagnoses, procedures, imaging reports and laboratory tests, are not only collected in context of primary research and clinical studies. In addition, citizens are tracking their daily steps, food intake, sport exercises, and disease symptoms via mobile phones and wearable devices. In this context, the topic of “data donation” is drawing increased attention in science, politics, ethics and practice. This paper provides insights into the status quo of personal data donation in Germany and from a global perspective. As this topic requires a consideration of several perspectives, potential benefits and related, multifaceted challenges for citizens, patients and researchers are discussed. This includes aspects such as data quality & accessibility, privacy and ethical considerations.

Authors: Becker Kurt , Lipprandt Myriam , Röhrig Rainer , Neumuth Thomas
Published: November 2019

The Medical Device Directive (MDD) will be replaced on 26.05.2020 by the new Medical Device Regulation (MDR). The European Parliament wants to create a transparent, solid, predictable and sustainable legal framework. One of the major upcoming changes effects the perspective on software as a medical device. This paper describes the fundamental relationships between the policy framework and the challenges faced by manufacturers and operators of medical devices, in particular medical software and artificial intelligence (AI) systems, who need to verify compliance. To address this topic, we review and discuss the main implications of medical device regulations on software as a medical device and digital health applications along the MDR structure. Furthermore, we address practical limitations of the implementation, such as the availability of notified bodies and costs of the approval procedure.

Authors: Zechel Fabian , Kunze Rouwen , König Niels , Schmitt Robert Heinrich
Published: November 2019

In this review paper, conventional non-destructive testing (NDT) methods are briefly introduced and compared with selected examples for applications of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for NDT. The contactless, non-destructive and purely optical method enables multi-dimensional imaging for tomographic real-time evaluation in various fields of application. Depending on the material, penetration depths of several millimeters can be achieved, thus providing an attractive solution that can be used both as a stand-alone and as a process-integrated solution.
Walking as Precarious Public Pedagogy
Authors: Powell Kimberly
Published: November 2019

This paper is located in extensive walking and narrative community-based research in the historic and ethnic neighborhood of San Jose Japantown, California, in the United States (U.S.). I consider public pedagogy through precarity, drawing from scholars who theorize the term through an ethics and politics of vulnerability, indiscernibility and relationality. In my consideration of walking as precarious public pedagogy, I work with a concept of movement as the gatherings of varying temporalities across histories, activities, humans, and nonhuman agents to underscore the entanglement of US social and economic infrastructures, discriminatory practices of spatialized place politics, and local narratives situated in place politics. I also consider the paradoxical relationship of constraints and possibilities inherent in precarity, arguing that a consideration of walking as precarious public pedagogy is indeterminant, a becoming that is entangled within a vulnerable existence.

Published: November 2019

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in reproductive-age women usually accompanied by lipid metabolic disorders. However, it remains unknown whether arachidonic acid (AA) and its metabolites in follicular fluid (FF) were altered in PCOS patients. This study was intended to measure the levels of AA and its metabolites in the FF of non-obese PCOS patients that underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) and to explore the possible causes of the alterations. Thirty-nine non-obese women with PCOS and 30 non-obese women without PCOS were enrolled. AA and its metabolites were measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The levels of AA metabolites generated via cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) pathway and cytochrome P450 epoxygenase pathway but not lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway were significantly higher in the FF of PCOS patients. The metabolites generated via COX-2 pathway were significantly correlated with levels of testosterone and fasting insulin in serum. The in vitro study further demonstrated that insulin but not testosterone could promote the IL-1β and hCG-induced COX-2 expression and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) secretion in primary human granulosa cells. In conclusion, there was an elevation in AA metabolites in FF of PCOS patients. Insulin played a pivotal role in the increased AA metabolites generated via COX-2, which could be interpreted as another novel molecular pathophysiological mechanism of PCOS.
Tendencias en metodología de investigación en Psicoterapia: Una aproximación epistemométrica
Authors: Cifuentes Muñoz Alejandro
Published: November 2019

El objetivo del presente artículo es describir las principales tendencias metodológicas en investigación psicoterapéutica de los últimos cinco años, como una forma de responder a “cómo se está conociendo lo que se conoce” en la disciplina. La descripción giró en torno a tres variables: tipos de problemas de investigación, tipos de investigación y tipos de enfoque de investigación. La metodología utilizada se centró en un análisis descriptivo epistemométrico respecto a la base de datos Web of Science. La muestra fue no probabilística y correspondió a 46 artículos de investigación en psicoterapia publicados durante el periodo 2013 y 2017. Se encontró que la mayoría de los artículos abordan problemas prácticos (52.2%), fueron investigaciones de tipo descriptivo (54.3%) utilizaron un enfoque cualitativo (45.7%). Finalmente, se concluye que los investigadores en psicoterapia realizan, principalmente, preguntas de tipo práctico en torno al tratamiento de pacientes, obteniendo respuestas de alcance limitado, centradas en fenómenos particulares. Se discuten las limitaciones del estudio sobre la generalización de los resultados
Explorando las relaciones entre el estrés y la situación económica en ciudadanos de Córdoba, Argentina
Authors: Mola Débora , Correa Pablo , Reyna Cecilia
Published: November 2019

El estrés afecta nuestra percepción del mundo y también nuestro comportamiento, pero parece no afectar a todos por igual, sino que esta influencia varía según factores tales como el estatus económico. A partir de eso, en este estudio analizamos las diferencias en los niveles de estrés percibido según el sexo y el estatus socioeconómico, y su relación con la percepción de la situación económica tanto de la familia como del país, en una muestra de ciudadanos de Córdoba, Argentina. La muestra comprendió 279 personas de 18 a 65 años (M = 36.61, DS = 13.97). Se utilizaron cuestionarios estructurados para evaluar las distintas variables de interés. Los resultados evidenciaron diferencias en los niveles de estrés percibido según el estatus económico, aunque la magnitud fue baja. A su vez, se observaron relaciones con la percepción de la situación económica, particularmente de la familia, con un tamaño del efecto de pequeño a moderado. Se subraya la necesidad de contar con nueva evidencia empírica sobre los determinantes y consecuencias del estrés.
Validación y confiabilidad de un protocolo para tiempo de reacción simple con el instrumento MOY-ART 35600
Authors: Galvis Fajardo Carlos Arturo , Castro Jiménez Laura Elizabeth , Luque Aldana Nicolás
Published: November 2019

Una dificultad con la medición del tiempo de reacción (TR) es que se define de diferentes formas y no permite una comparación entre diferentes poblaciones. Este es un estudio cuantitativo en donde se busca evaluar la confiabilidad del TR con el instrumento MOY-ART 35600. Participaron 24 estudiantes voluntarios (18- 26 años), que fueron aleatorizados en tres grupos, 1) 30 intentos consecutivos (30TR); 2) 120 intentos consecutivos (120TR); y 3) 120 intentos, divididos en bloques de 30 intentos con 4 minutos de descanso entre bloque (TR120d), La aplicación de los protocolos se realizó en tres diferentes momentos a los mismos participantes. En la primera toma se encontró en 30TR (M = 274,4ms; DS± 60.45ms), 120TR (M = 257,41ms; DS±45.52ms), 120TRd (M = 239,3 ms; DS±50ms). En la segunda toma se encontró en 30TR (M = 274.1 ms; DS±47.26ms), 120TR (M = 244.85; DS±46.06ms), 120TRd (M = 233.22ms; DS±39.07ms). Tercera toma se encontró en 30TR (M = 278.58 ms; DS± 66.17ms), 120TR (M = 239.69; DS± 36.08ms), 120TRd (M = 240.24ms; DS± 84.45s). Se encontró que el protocolo con mejores resultados en la aplicación, por consistencia en las medias, y por la menor varianza en el grupo fue el de 120TRd. Evidenciando que es mejor aplicar un protocolo con un número de intentos muy alto pero que tenga descansos, que son esenciales para evitar el agotamiento nervioso.

Akirin Is Required for Muscle Function and Acts Through the TGF-β Sma/Mab Signaling Pathway inCaenorhabditis elegansDevelopment
Authors: Bowman Richard , Balukoff Nathan , Clemons Amy , Koury Emily , Ford Talitha , Baxi Kunal , Egydio de Carvalho Carlos , Smolikove Sarit
Published: November 2019

Akirin, a conserved metazoan protein, functions in muscle development in flies and mice. However, this was only tested in the rodent and fly model systems. Akirin was shown to act with chromatin remodeling complexes in transcription and was established as a downstream target of the NFκB pathway. Here we show a role for Caenorhabditis elegans Akirin/AKIR-1 in the muscle and body length regulation through a different pathway. Akirin localizes to somatic tissues throughout the body of C. elegans, including muscle nuclei. In agreement with its role in other model systems, Akirin loss of function mutants exhibit defects in muscle development in the embryo, as well as defects in movement and maintenance of muscle integrity in the C. elegans adult. We also have determined that Akirin acts downstream of the TGF-β Sma/Mab signaling pathway in controlling body size. Moreover, we found that the loss of Akirin resulted in an increase in autophagy markers, similar to mutants in the TGF-β Sma/Mab signaling pathway. In contrast to what is known in rodent and fly models, C. elegans Akirin does not act with the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex, and is instead involved with the NuRD chromatin remodeling complex in both movement and regulation of body size. Our studies define a novel developmental role (body size) and a new pathway (TGF-β Sma/Mab) for Akirin function, and confirmed its evolutionarily conserved function in muscle development in a new organism.
Optimized Genetic Testing for Polledness in Multiple Breeds of Cattle
Authors: Randhawa Imtiaz A S , Burns Brian M , McGowan Michael R , Porto-Neto Laercio R , Hayes Ben J , Ferretti Ryan , Schutt Karen M , Lyons Russell E
Published: November 2019

Many breeds of modern cattle are naturally horned, and for sound husbandry management reasons the calves frequently undergo procedures to physically remove the horns by disbudding or dehorning. These procedures are however a welfare concern. Selective breeding for polledness – absence of horns – has been effective in some cattle breeds but not in others (Bos indicus genotypes) due in part to the complex genetics of horn phenotype. To address this problem different approaches to genetic testing which provide accurate early-in-life prediction of horn phenotype have been evaluated, initially using microsatellites (MSAT) and more recently single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). A direct gene test is not effective given the genetic heterogeneity and large-sized sequence variants associated with polledness in different breeds. The current study investigated 39,943 animals of multiple breeds to assess the accuracy of available poll testing assays. While the standard SNP-based test was an improvement on the earlier MSAT haplotyping method, 1999 (9.69%) out of 20,636 animals tested with this SNP-based assay did not predict a genotype, most commonly associated with the Indicus-influenced breeds. The current study has developed an optimized poll gene test that resolved the vast majority of these 1999 unresolved animals, while the predicted genotypes of those previously resolved remained unchanged. Hence the optimized poll test successfully predicted a genotype in 99.96% of samples assessed. We demonstrated that a robust set of 5 SNPs can effectively determine PC and PF alleles and eliminate the ambiguous and undetermined results of poll gene testing previously identified as an issue in cattle.
Children With Minor Blunt Head Trauma Presenting to the Emergency Department
Authors: Nigrovic Lise E. , Kuppermann Nathan
Published: November 2019

In our state-of-the-art review, we summarize the best-available evidence for the optimal emergency department management of children with minor blunt head trauma. Minor blunt head trauma in children is a common reason for emergency department evaluation, although clinically important traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) as a result are uncommon. Cranial computed tomography (CT) scanning is the reference standard for the diagnosis of TBIs, although they should be used judiciously because of the risk of lethal malignancy from ionizing radiation exposure, with the greatest risk to the youngest children. Available TBI prediction rules can assist with CT decision-making by identifying patients at either low risk for TBI, for whom CT scans may safely be obviated, or at high risk, for whom CT scans may be indicated. For clinical prediction rules to change practice, however, they require active implementation. Observation before CT decision-making in selected patients may further reduce CT rates without missing children with clinically important TBIs. Future work is also needed to incorporate patient and family preferences into these decision-making algorithms when the course of action is not clear.

The Hungarian Market of 19th Century Urban Nationalism and the Recycling of the Urban Mystery Novel
Authors: Márton-Simon Anna
Published: November 2019

Following the success of Eugène Sue's serial novel Les Mystères de Paris a pattern emerges in the era's literary market. Sue's works provide a narrative, politico-cultural and economic model with a worldwide impact. These works created a new way of presenting a city, while also developing a type of narrative that sometimes precedes the actual urbanization of an area, thus offering ready-made panels when talking about often unfinished processes. Several Hungarian works following the same literary model were published that used the panels introduced by Sue in relation to a city early in the process of urbanization and promote a distinctly national image of Budapest. The popularity of Sue's works helped the kindred Hungarian novels become successful projects. This piece of research attempts to identify the ways in which these transnational patterns became adapted and domesticated by the earliest Hungarian urban mysteries and helped the emergence of a specifically urban nationalist sentiment.
‘Observing to describe, describing to observe’: The Epistemic Turn of Medical Writing in the 18th century1
Authors: Krász Lilla
Published: November 2019

This paper is intended to view a specific epistemic turn from various angles concerning the role and function of scientific cognizance in relation to the documentation forms of the medical writings of physicians operating in the eighteenth century. Nevertheless, the internal structure of eighteenth-century medical knowledge is also revealing itself as being instrumental in presenting new elements of knowledge and making them accepted as scientific facts, disregarding direct relationship between doctors and patients, or in other words, exclusively relying on the application of the academic knowledge of doctors and specific observations on patients. It is rather aimed at continuously comparing various illnesses, such as epidemics, recurring endemic diseases, or unique illnesses, as well as arranging them on the basis of perception into homogeneous series of information incessantly proliferating in space and time.
Zeilen aus dem Grab. Die Struktur der frühen Radnóti-Rezeption
Authors: Schein Gábor
Published: November 2019

Für die kultische, bzw. hagiographische frühe Rezeption der Dichtung von Miklós Radnóti erwies sich jene Stelle bei Abda unter dem Damm des Flusses Rábca, wo er mit 21 anderen jüdischen Zwangsarbeitern Ende August 1944 von einem ungarischen Soldaten erschossen wurde, als ein bindender Ort. Nachdem der Körper des Dichters in einem Massengrab mit anderen Leichen verscharrt worden war, wurde er noch zweimal exhumiert und neu bestattet. Der traumatische Ort des Mordes schreibt sich durch die letzten Gedichte ins Gedächtnis der Generationen. Die traumatisierte frühe Rezeption von Radnóti besteht auf den Stillstand der Zeit, auf die Nähe zum mehrmals beigesetzten und wieder ausgegrabenen Körper des Dichters. Diese seltsame Art der Rezeption, die die Dichtung von Radnóti der Historisierung zu entziehen versucht, ist als eine Antwort auf die Frage zu verstehen, ob der Holocaust in seiner Außergeschichtlichkeit zu bewahren ist. In der Ästhetik der Zeugenschaft wiederholt sich die Frage, wie man eine einmalige Raum-Zeit-Beziehung in ihrer Form bewahren kann, die sowohl das Trauma der Zerstörung einer historischen Gemeinschaft, der Gemeinschaft der ungarischen Nation als auch die Hoffnung auf eine Therapie, auf eine Neustiftung der Gemeinschaft miteinschließt. Das Gedicht von Radnóti „Nem tudhatom“ stiftete in der frühen Rezeption eine neue Perspektive für die Neubelebung der durch den Holocaust zerrissenen Gemeinschaft der Nation, es konnte aber von der romantischen Ideologie der nationalen Identität nicht Abschied nehmen, und dadurch blieb diese neue Perspektive unvollendet.
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory peptide fractions from Tibet wild peach kernel protein hydrolysates
Authors: Yang Y. , Li A. , Zhong Z. , Xie M.
Published: November 2019

In this study, the peach kernel proteins were extracted and treated with alkaline proteinase to generate peach kernel protein hydrolysate (PKH), which showed angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition activity. The hydrolysate was separated into four fractions and their anti-ACE activities were investigated. Our results showed that all PKHs had anti-ACE activity, and the lowest molecular weight fraction PKH4 had the highest ACE inhibitory activity. Lineweaver–Burk plots illustrated that the inhibition types of PKH3 and PKH4 were non-competitive. The Ki of PKH4 was lower than Ki of PKH3; suggesting PKH4 had high affinity to ACE. Amino acid composition analysis showed that the best anti-ACE peptide PKH4 possessed high levels of hydrophobic amino acids, branched-chain amino acids, and aromatic amino acids. In summary, our findings demonstrated that high anti-ACE activity is negatively related to the size of the PKHs and possibly the composition of amino acids, and the PKH4 was the best ACE inhibitor. Further, peach kernel peptides can be developed as a functional food for patients with hypertension.
Doppelgänger

The Chinese Box. Doppelgänger. The dreamer who is dreamt. Tautology. All those would be appropriate titles. When Professor Sugar told me the story, my first reaction was to try to forget it. I failed. Its memory returned to me like the burning heels of blistering, narrow shoes. I confess that in a somewhat sadistic way, I have laughed at it. Laughter is also a sign of madness. The story is, after all, politically incorrect. For all of this, I decided to write it. This way, I would remember it as fiction, and I would have forgotten it is real.

En los últimos años, el emprendimiento ha sido un tema de gran discusión y desarrollo, lo que ha permitido evolucionar en su conceptualización, en principio enfrentando dos corrientes de pensamiento; por un lado, la Escuela Schumpeter y, por otro, la Escuela Austriaca. Entenderemos por emprendimiento: “un motor de desarrollo económico y social y como tal es capaz de transformar la vida de las personas, y por consiguiente nuestra sociedad”. Teniendo presente esta definición el presente trabajo trata acerca del emprendimiento social a través de la aplicación de un modelo propuesto como un proceso para el fomento de la cultura emprendedora el cual busca lograr promover el emprendimiento en la primera fase del proceso emprendedor, como una alternativa válida y sustentable para lograr la autonomía económica en mujeres víctimas de violencia intrafamiliar de los Centros de la Mujer de la región de Valparaíso, instalando la cultura y el espíritu emprendedor en las mujeres, cumpliendo con la responsabilidad social tanto pública como privada.

Authors: Villar Olaeta Francisco Javier
Published: November 2019

Para las instituciones educativas es un desafío promover y desarrollar una educación inclusiva, democrática y participativa. El objetivo de investigación fue indagar sobre las percepciones del estudiantado de educación básica respecto de convivencia escolar, ciudadanía y transparencia, consideradas a nivel social, como dimensiones esenciales para una vida democrática, pacífica y participativa. El estudio se enmarca en un enfoque hermenéutico narrativo. Se aplicaron redes semánticas a 228 estudiantes (49% hombres y 51% mujeres), de cuarto a octavo básico, de una escuela municipal en la región de La Araucanía,Chile. Los resultados expusieron la existencia de narrativas comunes como respeto, amistad y honestidad mostrando que los valores, normativas y características sociales son relevantes para la convivencia y ciudadanía. Los hallazgos permiten concluir que una vida buena en la escuela requiere prácticas de reconocimiento del otro, relaciones personales e institucionales basadas en la verdad. Se invita a articular estos sentidos para fortalecer el buen trato y la construcción de comunidad.

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Research benefits professors and students, mentors and mentees, however, many Universities lack formal programs, especially in basic sciences such as anatomy. Faculty, many times, lack the time, resources, and a well-structured program. Mentoring and collaborative work, have played an important role in creating an effective environment that inspires its members into scientific production, enhances research skills, while gaining experience. The authors presented a student anatomy research group (Grupo de Investigación en Anatomía [GIA]) model that integrates faculty from basic and clinical fields through a collaborative mentoring and tightly organized structure that increases training, experience, and scientific output. The transformation stages described shows the progress, reporting the fundamental elements for integration of the model, with results presented at 16 years of experience of the group in the Anatomy department. Results evidence a steady increase in student/professor involvement, scientific publishing, presentations in meetings (national/international), and cites.
Autothermal Fixed Bed Updraft Gasification of Olive Pomace Biomass and Renewable Energy Generation via Organic Rankine Cycle Turbine
Authors: Dogru Murat , Erdem Ahmet
Published: November 2019

Waste biomass, a renewable resource, is a reasonable choice for green clean power generation using advanced thermal treatment technologies such as gasification. In this research, dried-densified olive pomace residues from olive oil production have been applied as biomass feedstock in a new gasification process for synthesis gas (syngas) generation using a 500 kg h−1 throughput capacity autothermal modified updraft gasifier system. The product syngas generation rate is found to be approximately 2.5 Nm3 kg−1 of olive pomace, with a calorific value (CV) between 5.0 MJ Nm−3 and 7.0 MJ Nm−3. More than 85% of carbon in pomace is converted to produced syngas by the gasification system. The gasification reactor generates syngas which passes through a specially designed swirl hot gas burner and is then burned directly in a thermal oil boiler retrofitted to an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) turbine generator. As a result, the produced syngas at around 350°C is directly combusted with tars so that a great deal of chemical energy loss is prevented. The thermal oil heater has a thermal energy capacity of 1.77 MWh. The generated 1.6 MWh thermal energy from the thermal oil heater is transferred to the ORC turbine to generate 240 kW electrical power.
Energy is at the root of Australia's political crisis: building a resilient renewable grid
Authors: Hart Paul
Published: November 2019

Renewable energy sources are becoming more abundant as costs fall and climate change becomes ever more influential in decision making. One drawback of renewable energy sources is that they tend to rely on environmental factors, making them unreliable when powering a 24/7 society. One solution to the storage of energy is reservoirs. While the technology has been around for decades, the business case is often difficult to define or prove. The Australian Renewable Energy Agency together with Australia National University, Black & Veatch and a team of specialists, developed tools which identify potential locations, produced a high-level assessment of required infrastructure, and developed a cost model on which site-selection decisions can be made. In doing so they have created a catalogue of potential sites that can be developed across Australia, ready to help the energy grid provide for the twenty-first century.

Quality assurance agencies: Creating a conducive environment for academic integrity
Authors: Garwe Evelyn C.
Published: November 2019

Academic integrity is a key measure of the quality, efficiency and competitiveness of higher education systems. This article explores how a quality assurance agency can foster a conducive environment for academic quality and integrity. A self-study methodology was used, with a focus on the insights and experiences of the Zimbabwe Council for Higher Education over a 10-year period. The findings show that by assuming an innovative and transformational leadership role in instilling a culture of self-evaluation, as well as maintaining its own integrity, an external quality assurance agency can improve academic integrity. The article adds value to the existing knowledge by advancing the higher education ecosystem approach as an integrity-based panacea and conducive way to induce integrity to flow from all players as opposed to the use of heavy-handed regulatory approaches.

Significance:

This article highlights the importance of academic integrity and situates quality assurance agencies as playing a central role in fostering academic integrity.
