MACVIA-LR (FIGHTING CHRONIC DISEASES FOR ACTIVE AND HEALTHY AGEING IN LANGUEDOC-ROUSSILLON): A SUCCESS STORY OF THE EUROPEAN INNOVATION PARTNERSHIP ON ACTIVE AND HEALTHY AGEING
Authors: BOUSQUET J. , BOURRET R. , CAMUZAT T.
Published: June 2021

The Région Languedoc Roussillon is the umbrella organisation for an interconnected and integrated project on active and healthy ageing (AHA). It covers the 3 pillars of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA): (A) Prevention and health promotion, (B) Care and cure, (C) and (D) Active and independent living of elderly people. All sub-activities (poly-pharmacy, falls prevention initiative, prevention of frailty, chronic respiratory diseases, chronic diseases with multimorbidities, chronic infectious diseases, active and independent living and disability) have been included in MACVIA-LR which has a strong political commitment and involves all stakeholders (public, private, patients, policy makers) including CARSAT-LR and the Eurobiomed cluster. It is a Reference Site of the EIP on AHA. The framework of MACVIA-LR has the vision that the prevention and management of chronic diseases is essential for the promotion of AHA and for the reduction of handicap. The main objectives of MACVIA-LR are: (i) to develop innovative solutions for a network of Living labs in order to reduce avoidable hospitalisations and loss of autonomy while improving quality of life, (ii) to disseminate the innovation. The three years of MACVIA-LR activities are reported in this paper.

Muscle atrophy occurs as a consequence of a number of conditions, including cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes mellitus, heart failure, and other chronic diseases, where it is generally a predictor of poor survival. It also occurs as a consequence of disuse and an age-related loss of muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia). The aims of the 2016, International Conference on Frailty and Sarcopenia Research (ICFSR) Task Force were to examine how these specific chronic conditions have been employed in treatment trials thus far and how future trials using these patient groups might be designed for efficient identification of effective sarcopenia interventions. Functional limitations assessed as gait speed, distance walked over a set time period, or other attributes of physical performance have been suggested as outcome measures in sarcopenia trials. Indeed, such measures have already been used successfully in a number of trials aimed at preventing disability in older adults.
At Play in the Cosmos
Authors: Squire Kurt
Published: June 2021

At Play in the Cosmos is a game for University-level Astronomy courses. Designed as a collaboration between the Games + Learning + Society Center, an academic center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Norton & Company, Cosmos is intended to support a “game-first” model of curriculum in which students play the game before engaging in other activities. Cosmos includes about 4 hours of game play and spans the entirety of course. It includes over 25 embedded simulations that are also used for homework, lectures, and demonstrations. The design process and resulting artifact was colored by institutional constraints, specifically a lengthy pre-production that demanded extensive documentation. The subsequent development process followed a relatively linear, waterfall process and resulted in linear game. Designers attempted to mediate this linearity through a crafting system that enabled players to explore the Universe and mine celestial bodies for resources. As a game intended to compete in the market, Cosmos included a relatively high production quality led by a team experienced in AAA development processes, and the chapter focuses on the development of art styles, interfaces, and fitting voice overs in on a constrained budget and timeline.
Devising in the Pandemic: Trauma and a Dramatic Redesign of a Youth Theatre Tour
Authors: Weltsek Gustave
Published: June 2021

Z402 Youth Theatre Tour was designed from a critical performative pedagogical positioning (Weltsek, 2019). Here learning emerges from how individuals and communities perform their emergent identities as they cross literal and metaphorical socio-cultural borders. Z402 resulted in a 100% student created new play, parallel workshop, and study guide. This new play was based solely upon the students’ perspectives, voices, and ways of being. The design used devised theatre, the use of improvisation and games, to create a new play versus a solely written approach. The new play dealt with healing in the face of suicidal thoughts. The course addressed four Indiana educational licensing requirements; student technical, artistic, educational, and class practicum experiences. In March 2020, due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the University instituted obligatory Online instruction. Students redesigned their stage play into a virtual experience using Zoom and integrated their emotional struggles due to pandemic isolation. The live play, slated for three schools, is now accessible to a large virtual audience

Moonshot: Redesigning NASA’s High School Aerospace Scholars Experience at Johnson Space Center for Online Delivery
Authors: Neumann Kalianne L. , Stansberry Susan L. , Del Rosso Crystal L. , Welch Stacey S. , Ivey Toni A.
Published: June 2021

Moonshot is the redesign of NASA’s High School Aerospace Scholars (HAS), which traditionally engaged Texas high school juniors in a 16-week online course for credit and an intense week-long onsite experience working in teams with experts at NASA’s Johnson Space Center (JSC). Due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), our challenge was to design, develop, and deliver an online virtual experience to replace the all-expenses-paid six-day residential summer experience at JSC where HAS participants traditionally work with like-minded peers and NASA experts on authentic design challenges.
Introduction to the Special Section on Designing for Learning in a Pandemic
Authors: Baaki John
Published: June 2021

Amid the pandemic, a project team continued educating electrical line workers across four U.S. locations. The Center for Engineering Education and Outreach redesigned an in-person internship program by finding ways to simulate tinkering, design reviews, and troubleshooting activities. A collaborative four-day international seminar networking 10 European universities from eight different countries went virtual. An all-expenses-paid six-day residential summer experience at NASA’s Johnson Space Center was replaced by an online experience. Designers embraced—cancellation is not an option—and found a way to engage fifth grade students to apply science and mathematics concepts related to building a Mars colony. The show did go on in Zoom with a play that integrated students’ emotional struggles due to pandemic isolation. Indeed, the past year, and then some, has been strange.
Remuneration Strategies related to Charles Handy’s cultural typology: A case study in a small digital market business in pandemic times
Authors: Abdala Etienne Cardoso , Morais Gabriel Guimaraes , Rebelatto Daisy Nascimento
Published: June 2021

Goal: This research intends to propose a remuneration system adjusted to remote work conditions in Pandemic context, considering the types of Charles Handy’s Cultural Typology

Design/Methodology/Approach: The research developed in this study is qualitative and descriptive. For data collection, a questionnaire elaborated based in a validated protocol was applied to the director and other employees at the company as a Simple Case Study.

Results: According to the results, the Person Culture is the one most present at the Organization studied. The authors took into consideration the fact that the Task Culture is also greatly presented in the organizational culture of the company. The results indicate that the company would need to increase the share of variable remuneration in compliance with the more autonomous forms of work organization rules, as the home office way of work. The company also presents a good organizational climate, with a lot of collaboration and trust in the relations between its employees.

Limitations of the Investigation: the limitations of the study are related to the fact that it is not possible to generalize the results to other small companies, considering that the organizational culture of the studied company is unique if compared to other companies. Other limitations refer to the fact that the study presents an initial overview of a home office situation at the beginning of the pandemic context, and other considerations can be made later.

Practical Implications: The company should seek to increase the variable portion on the payroll of its employees. Because the people that work at the company have great autonomy, working remotely and being able to choose work hours, adopting a system that prioritizes variable portion of the salary is important so that the workers feel motivates to produce more, seeking a higher remuneration. Otherwise, with a good level of fixed remuneration, the workers can become less productive and comfortable

Originality/Value: The research contributes to understand the remuneration strategies in new work contexts, especially in terms of the transition from presential work to home office in a digital market business.

COVID-19 enfeksiyonunun çocuklardaki yansımaları
Authors: Merter Tuba
Published: June 2021

The virus, which emerged from Wuhan, China in the last months of 2019, and named by the World Health Organization as COVID-19, caused a pandemic all over the world. According to the studies and experiences, it has been seen that COVID-19 can infect people of all age groups and affect human health for a long time. Since the months of the outbreak of the pan- demic, the majority of studies conducted worldwide have been in symptomatic adults; However, considering the spread rate of COVID-19 all over the world, it is expected that the number of pediatric cases will increase day by day. Therefore, it is of great importance to establish diagnostic criteria for pediatric patients. In this review article, the common results of the studies conducted on pediatric patients in line with the studies worldwide are mentioned.
PrimPol‐mediated repriming facilitates replication traverse of DNA interstrand crosslinks

Published: June 2021

DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) induced by endogenous aldehydes or chemotherapeutic agents interfere with essential processes such as replication and transcription. ICL recognition and repair by the Fanconi Anemia pathway require the formation of an X‐shaped DNA structure that may arise from convergence of two replication forks at the crosslink or traversing of the lesion by a single replication fork. Here, we report that ICL traverse strictly requires DNA repriming events downstream of the lesion, which are carried out by PrimPol, the second primase‐polymerase identified in mammalian cells after Polα/Primase. The recruitment of PrimPol to the vicinity of ICLs depends on its interaction with RPA, but not on FANCM translocase or the BLM/TOP3A/RMI1‐2 (BTR) complex that also participate in ICL traverse. Genetic ablation of PRIMPOL makes cells more dependent on the fork convergence mechanism to initiate ICL repair, and PRIMPOL KO cells and mice display hypersensitivity to ICL‐inducing drugs. These results open the possibility of targeting PrimPol activity to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy based on DNA crosslinking agents.
Androgen receptor signaling inhibitors: post-chemotherapy, pre-chemotherapy and now in castration-sensitive prostate cancer
Authors: Mitsiades Nicholas , Kaochar Salma
Published: June 2021

Based on pioneering work by Huggins, Hodges and others, hormonal therapies have been established as an effective approach for advanced prostate cancer (PC) for the past eight decades. However, it quickly became evident that androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) via surgical or medical castration accomplishes inadequate inhibition of the androgen receptor (AR) axis, with clinical resistance inevitably emerging due to adrenal and intratumoral sources of androgens and other mechanisms. Early efforts to augment ADT by adding adrenal-targeting agents (aminoglutethimide, ketoconazole) or AR antagonists (flutamide, bicalutamide, nilutamide, cyproterone) failed to achieve overall survival (OS) benefits, although they did exhibit some evidence of limited clinical activity. More recently, four new androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSIs) successfully entered clinical practice. Specifically, the CYP17 inhibitor abiraterone acetate and the second generation AR antagonists (enzalutamide, apalutamide and darolutamide) achieved OS benefits for PC patients, confirmed the importance of reactivated AR signaling in castration-resistant PC and validated important concepts that had been proposed in the field several decades ago but had remained so far unproven, including adrenal-targeted therapy and combined androgen blockade. The past decade has seen steady advances toward more comprehensive AR axis targeting. Now the question is raised whether we have accomplished the maximum AR axis inhibition possible or there is still room for improvement. This review, marking the 80-year anniversary of ADT and 10-year anniversary of successful ARSIs, examines their current clinical use and discusses future directions, in particular combination regimens, to maximize their efficacy, delay emergence of resistance and improve patient outcomes.
Fabrication of 9,9′-Bis(aryl)fluorene-modified nanocellulose bamboo fiber composite
Authors: Sefat Khan Md , Kurose Takashi , Yamada Masahiro , Ito Hiroshi , Shibata Shinichi
Published: June 2021

A green composite was fabricated using bamboo fiber and 9,9′-bis(aryl)fluorene-modified cellulose nanofiber (FCNF). Cellulose nanofiber (CNF) and finely crushed bamboo fiber (CBF) were also used as binders. The mechanical properties of the composites were compared. It was found that the FCNF-bamboo fiber composite had the maximum flexural strength among these binders. This result was likely due to strong bonding by chemical reactions among fibers and the FCNF. The effect of fiber orientation accuracy on the mechanical properties of the composites was also investigated. When the bamboo fibers were carefully aligned, without fibers crossing each other, the mechanical properties increased by two times, compared to the composites with fibers crossing each other. In the accurately aligned bamboo composites, the cross sections of the fibers were largely deformed by compression stress during hot-press forming. Thus, the gaps among fibers decreased, and interfacial adherence was improved. The effect of fabrication temperature on the mechanical properties of the FCNF-bamboo composite was also examined. It was found that the maximum flexural modulus and strength of the composites were at approximately 250 °C, and the mechanical properties rapidly decreased above 270 °C due to thermal degradation of the bamboo fiber.
Predicting the Performance of Contestants in Competitive Programming Using Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: ALNAHHAS Ammar , MOURTADA Nour
Published: June 2021

Training is an important task in competitive programming, coaches can improve the
training experience if they can get information about the performance of contestants. In this paper, we study the possibility of using machine learning techniques to build a system that is able to predict the future performance of a contestant by analyzing their historical rating list. This system learns from a dataset of contestant ratings. We propose to apply five different baseline machine learning techniques, then we propose a new deep learning model. We conduct an experiment using public data from the Codeforces website. We show that most techniques achieve acceptable results. In addition, the proposed deep learning model outperformed all baseline methods and achieved results that proved its efficiency in predicting the future performance of contestants. This paper confirms the possibility of using machine learning techniques to help in the process of preparing contestants in competitive programming.
Latest Algorithms on Particular Graph Classes
Authors: DO Phan Thuan , PHAM Ba Thai , THAN Viet Cuong
Published: June 2021

Many optimization problems such as Maximum Independent Set, Maximum Clique,
Minimum Clique Cover and Maximum Induced Matching are NP-hard on general graphs. However, they could be solved in polynomial time when restricted to some particular graph classes such as comparability and co-comparability graph classes. In this paper, we summarize the latest algorithms solving some classical NP-hard problems on some graph classes over the years. Moreover, we apply the -redundant technique to obtain linear time O(j j) algorithms which find a Maximum Induced Matching on interval and circular-arc graphs. Inspired of these results, we have proposed some competitive programming problems for some programming contests in Vietnam in recent years.

Published: June 2021

In most of tasks proposed for olympiads in informatics inital data are taken arbitrary
from any ranges such that a “brute force” solution (close to immediate translation of condition of the task into an algorithmical one) can pass tests with initial data from narrow ranges, and the task itself is to improve that solution. We make a survey of types of tasks where inital data are too vast to use a “brute force” but they are announced to be connected and the task itself is to extract necessary information in an optimal way. We consider tasks on recognition and on restoration of data from a unified point of view. We also make an attempt to describe various types of tasks formally.

Authors: Montez Kimberly , Omoruyi Emma A. , McNeal-Trice Kenya , Mack Wendy J. , Yemane Lahia , Darden Alissa R. , Russell Christopher J.
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

A diverse pediatric workforce reflecting the racial/ethnic representation of the US population is an important factor in eliminating health inequities. Studies reveal minimal improvements over time in the proportions of underrepresented in medicine (URiM) physicians; however, studies assessing trends in pediatric URiM trainee representation are limited. Our objective was to evaluate longitudinal trends in racial/ethnic representation among a cross-section of US pediatric trainees and to compare it to the US population.

METHODS

Repeated cross-sectional study of graduate medical education census data on self-reported race/ethnicity of pediatric residents and subspecialty fellows from 2007 to 2019. To evaluate trends in URiM proportions over time, the Cochran-Armitage test was performed. Data on self-reported race/ethnicity of trainees were compared with the general population data over time by using US Census Bureau data.

RESULTS

Trends in URiM proportions were unchanged in residents (16% in 2007 to 16.5% in 2019; P = .98) and, overall, decreased for fellows (14.2% in 2007 to 13.5% in 2019; P = .002). URiM fellow trends significantly decreased over time in neonatal-perinatal medicine (P < .001), infectious diseases (P < .001), and critical care (P = .006) but significantly increased in endocrinology (P = .002) and pulmonology (P = .009). Over time, the percentage of URiM pediatric trainee representation was considerably lower compared to the US population.

CONCLUSIONS

The continued underrepresentation of URiM pediatric trainees may perpetuate persistent health inequities for minority pediatric populations. There is a critical need to recruit and retain pediatric URiM residents and subspecialty fellows.
Imaginarios racializados: impresos sobre tipos cubanos del español Víctor Patricio de Landaluze durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX
Authors: Rodríguez Bolufé Olga María
Published: June 2021

Objetivo: el quehacer gráfico de Víctor Patricio de Landaluze en Cuba durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX permite reconocer la articulación de factores conducentes a la gestación de un imaginario perdurable, desde su mirada como extranjero. Este estudio se propone evidenciar el sustento político en la producción y difusión de dichos impresos en diversos espacios, como parte de la estrategia de dominio colonial. Metodología: se analizan etapas que marcaron la trayectoria política y creativa de Landaluze en paralelo con el estudio de sus impresos y el análisis de documentos de archivo. Originalidad: el reconocimiento de los tempranos vínculos políticos de Landaluze con el gobierno colonial evidenciará que el abordaje de los tipos y costumbres y su difusión impresa forman parte de una trama ideológica que racializó las relaciones sociales, lo cual ha pervivido en una retórica sobre la cubanidad. El enfoque de la historia cultural se integra con el estudio del sistema de vínculos regionales. Conclusiones: la gestación de estereotipos a partir de la racialización de grupos sociales operó como mecanismo de preservación de la hegemonía colonial en la isla, a lo que contribuyó la difusión de impresos en tiempos sincrónicos y en espacios diversos.
El Manifiesto comunista en Chile: circulación y edición
Authors: Tarcus Horacio
Published: June 2021

Objetivo: del amplio universo de la literatura socialista, el Manifiesto comunista de Marx y Engels ha sido por lejos el folleto más afortunado. Publicado por primera vez en 1848, a fines del siglo XIX se había convertido en el texto liminar del socialismo moderno. Traducido a más de setenta lenguas, logró sortear censuras, prohibiciones y persecuciones, imprimiéndose en todos los rincones del globo, en forma legal o clandestina. Este estudio sigue los avatares de sus ediciones chilenas. Metodología: enmarcado en una perspectiva continental de recepción y difusión del Manifiesto comunista en América Latina, el trabajo reconstruye estas ediciones a partir de la folletería y las revistas de la época, así como de diversas memorias y testimonios. Originalidad: el artículo traza una cartografía de la recepción y difusión de la cultura marxista en Chile, una problemática que aparece referida diagonalmente en la bibliografía, pero cuya complejidad estaba pendiente de reconstruir. Conclusiones: se concluye que el carácter tardío de las primeras impresiones en Chile deriva de las singulares condiciones en que se desenvolvió la cultura obrera del país a finales del siglo XIX y comienzos del XX. Desde una perspectiva comparatista a escala continental, destaca la relevancia de la edición clandestina del Centenario preparada por Babel así como la edición masiva de Quimantú, publicada en los años de la Unidad Popular.

A GINÁSTICA DOMÉSTICA DE DANIEL SCHREBER: MANUAIS EM CIRCULAÇÃO NAS ÚLTIMAS DÉCADAS DO SÉCULO XIX
Authors: Puchta Diogo , Linhales Meily Assbú
Published: June 2021

Este estudo versa sobre os processos de produção e circulação de um manual intitulado Ginástica doméstica, médica e higiênica ou representação e descrição de movimentos ginásticos, publicado pela primeira em Leipzig, no ano de 1855, pelo médico alemão Daniel Gottlob Moritz Schreber e endereçado a pais e educadores. Partindo de uma escala particular de observação que inclui singularidades que caracterizam a difusão do referido manual entre a segunda metade do século XIX e início do XX, buscou-se compreender algumas relações estabelecidas entre a educação do corpo e a educação da moral e da vontade; além das interseções entre a denominada natureza dos corpos e os processos de racionalização e metodização dos saberes sobre o movimento corporal. De modo mais específico, são analisadas duas traduções da obra que circularam no Brasil. A primeira publicada em Lisboa, em 1879, e a segunda no Rio de Janeiro pelo jornal Gazeta de Notícias, em 1887.
Re-Imported Literature or Double Domestication: Shizuko’s Daughter by Kyoko Mori
Authors: Inose Hiroko
Published: June 2021

A text can travel between languages and cultures through translation, but this “travel” can be rather complicated when the text not only goes, but goes back to the culture of origin. This can happen when the text is about the culture of the target language. Translating Memoir of Geisha by Arthur Golden (1997) into Japanese can be one example. Due to the expected level of readers’ cultural knowledge, the translator will have to use some different translation strategies compared to when the text is translated into other languages. This “travel” of the text can be even more complicated if the author’s first language or original cultural background is different from the language in which s/he writes the text – for example, an author whose first language is Japanese, but writing his/her text in English, about stories that take place in Japan – and then the text is translated into Japanese by a translator, to be published in Japan. This is the case of Kyoko Mori, a Japanese-American writer who had grown up in Japan until she moved to U.S. as an adult. Her first novel, Shizuko’s Daughter was published in U.S. in 1993. It is autobiographical, and therefore the story takes place in Japan, with all its personages being Japanese. The novel was translated by Makiko Ikeda and published in Japan in 1995. Four of Mori’s novels are published in Japan, but the author never translated her own novels into Japanese. This happened before the cross-border literature boom in Japan and may be considered as its precursor. In the present study, the “travel” of this text will be studied from two aspects – exoticisation and translation. The novel belongs to the minority literature in U.S., and its Japanese aspects seem to be emphasized in its reading (in its cover or in book reviews), whereas in Japan, its publication was called “Reimported Japanese literature”, and the fact it was written in English attracted great attention. It was an exoticisation from both ends. As for the translation, source and target texts will be studied in detail, to identify the cases of change, addition (of extra information), omission, correction of culturally wrong information (if any) and their motives will be considered. Unnatural expressions and translationese will also be studied, considering if they can be avoided when the first language of the author is Japanese.
Liminality, Migration and Transgression in El Metro by Donato Ndongo-Bidyogo
Authors: Magrinyà Carles
Published: June 2021

My investigation aims to contribute to the understanding of the functionality of the fictitious border zones and how characters relate to spaces that put them in contact with the transitory, that is, liminal characters and spaces. In this sense I will work with the concept of liminality developed by anthropologists Arnold Van Gennep and Victor Turner. The object of study is El metro (2007), by Equatorial Guinean writer Donato Ndongo, and it is an example of the contemporary Equatoguinean novel in Spanish. My contribution focuses on how narrator and characters perceive and relate to liminal spaces (boats, beaches, the subway), and it touches upon the ambivalent relationship between the emigrant from sub-Saharan Africa and Western culture during the years of economic crisis in Spain.
Ascensão e consolidação da polícia científica nas primeiras décadas do período republicano: São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro (DF) em perspectiva
Authors: Giovanelli Alexandre
Published: June 2021

Durante todo o período monárquico, a perícia oficial era exclusividade dos médicos legistas. Com o surgimento do conceito de polícia científica entre o final do século XIX e início do século XX, novas funções e, consequentemente, novos especialistas foram exigidos no trato com as cenas de crime. Era preciso não só examinar o corpo da vítima, mas também utilizar modernas técnicas de investigação científica de objetos e vestígios. Nos primeiros anos do período republicano, ocorreu a separação de funções entre os especialistas em criminalística e os médicos legistas. Com isso, foram criados setores administrativos específicos, ligados à criminalística. Esse processo ocorreu de maneira semelhante nos estados de São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro e, provavelmente, o modelo gestado de organização e identidade da perícia criminal foi difundido para o país.
Exempting Health Research from the Consent Provisions of POPIA
Authors: Thaldar Donrich W , Townsend Beverley A
Published: June 2021

The Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (hereafter POPIA) has the potential to disrupt health research in South Africa. While the legal status quo is that broad consent by research participants is acceptable, POPIA requires specific consent for any processing of research participants' health and genetic information. However, POPIA offers mechanisms such as an exemption from specified measures which can potentially be used to ameliorate its impact. It is proposed that the health research sector should seek to utilise these mechanisms – in particular, a sector-wide exemption of all health research projects from the requirement of specific consent by research participants, subject to the conditions that: (a) a health research project must be approved by a health research ethics committee, and that (b) either specific, broad or tiered consent must be obtained for a health research project. Importantly, it would be counter-productive to approach such an application for exemption from the perspective of inconvenience for health researchers. Instead, an application for exemption must be approached from a human rights platform, and must be supported by solid evidence. Such evidence should include the results of empirical studies of South African research participants' preferences.
THE CHYTRID BLINDERS 2.0: HOW ARE WE DOING?
Authors: Duffus Amanda
Published: June 2021

Amphibians are declining around the world and infectious diseases are thought to play a key role in these declines, along with habitat destruction and other environmental factors.  Since the late 1900s, several emerging infections have been identified in amphibians. The chytrids, of which there are two known to affect amphibians, Batrachochytrium dendtrobatids, and B. salamandrivorans; and ranaviruses are perhaps the most well-known and studied. There are also other, lesser known and studied pathogenic agents such as Perkinsea spp. and herpesviruses; that have emerged in approximately the same timeline, which may also be contributing to amphibian population dynamics. In this piece we examine the progress that has been made over the past decade in understanding ‘The Big Three’ and specifically how the emergence of B. salamandrivorans has brought together much of the amphibian disease world in the last half of the 2010s.

We summarized amphibian distributions for 12 coastal islands in Georgia, USA. Occurrence among islands was correlated with life history traits, habitats, island size, distance to other islands, and island geological age. Species’ distributions were determined from published literature. Island sizes and vegetation types were derived from 2011 Georgia Department of Natural Resources habitat maps, which included both federal and state vegetation classification systems. Species occurring on more islands tended to have greater total reproductive output (i.e., life span >4 years, and annual egg production >1,000 eggs) and adults had tolerance of brackish environs. Larger islands had great­er area of freshwater wetlands, predominantly short hydroperiod (<6 months). Species tied to long hydroperiod wetlands (>6 months) were more restricted in their distribution across islands. Overall, larger islands supported more species, but the correlation was weaker for geologically younger Ho­locene islands (age <11,000 years). While Euclidean distance between islands does not necessarily preclude inter-island dispersal, inhospitable habitat for amphibians (brackish tidal marshes and creeks interspersed with wide rivers) suggests that inter-island dispersal is very limited. The paucity of recent occurrence data for amphibians in this dynamic coastal region, let alone standardized annual moni­toring data, hinders efforts to model species’ vulnerability in a region susceptible to sea level rise and development pressure. The most common survey method, standardized amphibian vocal surveys, will detect Anuran reproductive efforts, but is unlikely to ascertain if breeding was successful or to detect salamanders. While it will not replace actual population data, consideration of critical life-history traits and breeding habitat availability can be used to direct management to support long-term species per­sistence in changing environs. Even common amphibians in coastal conservation areas of Georgia are vulnerable to increasing population isolation caused by unsuitable habitat.
DISTRIBUTION AND STATUS OF THE SUWANNEE COOTER, PSEUDEMYS CONCINNA SUWANNIENSIS, IN THE ALAFIA RIVER (HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FLORIDA, USA)

The Suwannee Cooter, Pseudemys concinna suwanniensis, is a geographically limited turtle of conservation concern that inhabits Florida rivers draining into the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. Threats impacting its conservation status include take for human consumption, predation of turtles and nests, loss or degradation of nesting and basking habitat, water quality degradation, and boat strikes. Our surveys revealed that the Alafia River, which drains into Hillsborough Bay (northeastern Tampa Bay), is likely the stronghold of the southern distribution of P. c. suwanniensis. Multiple survey methods during 2015-2020 revealed that a substantial population of Suwannee Cooters inhabits much of this blackwater river system, including the main channel and at least one of its two primary tributaries. GIS analysis showed that more than half of the shoreline within the occupied extent is currently protected by conservation lands, although additional protection of private lands and improved habitat management protocols are needed to assure the population’s conservation.
Reimagining spaces where children play: developing guidance for thermally comfortable playgrounds in Canada

Setting

Planning and designing thermally comfortable outdoor spaces is increasingly important in the context of climate change, particularly as children are more vulnerable than adults to environmental extremes. However, existing playground standards focus on equipment and surfacing to reduce acute injuries, with no mention of potential negative health consequences related to heat illness, sun exposure, and other thermal extremes. The goal of this project was to develop proposed guidelines for designing thermally comfortable playgrounds in Canada for inclusion within the CAN/CSA-Z614 Children’s playground equipment and surfacing standard.

Intervention

The project to develop guidance for thermally comfortable playgrounds was initiated with a municipal project in Windsor, Ontario, to increase shade, vegetation, and water features at parks and playgrounds to provide more comfortable experiences amid the increased frequency of hot days (≥30°C). The lack of available information to best manage environmental conditions led to a collaborative effort to build resources and raise awareness of best practices in the design of thermally comfortable playgrounds.

Outcomes

A group of multidisciplinary experts developed technical guidance for improving thermal comfort at playgrounds, including a six-page thermal comfort annex adopted within a national playground and equipment standard. The annex has been used by Canadian schools in a competition to design and implement green playgrounds.

Implications

Both the technical report and the thermal comfort annex provide increased awareness and needed guidance for managing environmental conditions at playgrounds. Thermally safe and comfortable play spaces will help ensure that Canada’s playgrounds are designed to minimize environmental health risks for children.
More than Language and Literature

This article investigates the interdisciplinary connections between language and literature in the Indian postcolonial context. I argue that a linguistic approach to contemporary Indian English fiction is useful to unpack complex cultural, social and identitarian questions. As a case study, I analyse some of the short stories from The Adivasi Will Not Dance (2017) by Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar, a contemporary author from a marginalised ethnic group of rural India. My methodology benefits from postcolonial studies, sociolinguistics and critical stylistics, to show how Shekhar reshapes the canon by foregrounding Indian English, borrowings from the Santhali language and registers of specialised discourse.
Fra ‘letterario’ e digitale

Father Roberto Busa is widely recognised as the founder of Humanities Computing (HC) because of his pioneering approach to text analysis, which paved the way for computational linguistics. Over the years, this early focus on linguistic analysis has evolved to include new ways of combining humanities with computing. Digital Humanities (DH) provide a common outlook that has a markedly methodological nature and an interdisciplinary focus. The aim of this paper is to review some of the key issues behind the shift from HC to DH, highlighting elements of continuity and/or change.

Foreign Terrorist Fighters and the UN Investigative Team to Support Domestic Efforts to Hold ISIS Accountable for War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity and Genocide Committed in Iraq: Building a Bridge that Should Be Used
Authors: Abad Castelos Montserrat
Published: June 2021

After examining the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions referred to the foreign fighters who joined the ranks of ISIS in Iraq and Syria andthe UN Investigative Team to support domestic efforts to hold ISIS accountable for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide committed in Iraq (UNITAD or the Investigative Team) this article brings both contents together in order to ascertain whether there may be gaps or problems which should be addressed, since both developments were prompted by the UNSC. It is explored whether there may be certain inconsistencies, such as the one relating to the emphasis placed on different crimes, depending on the resolutions in question. Thus, those related to FTFs focus on terrorism crimes, while those related to UNITAD refer to atrocity crimes. Hereinafter the action and evolution of UNITAD is  examined, in order to determine whether it might be helpful to overcome some existing barriers and avoid impunity for atrocity crimes. It will be concluded that UNITAD may provide substantial support, not only in relation to trials in Iraq, but also in third States, by providing useful tools or evidence to prosecute FTFs. Seizing this opportunity will require further action, which will be  crucial to promote accountability and justice.
Improvement of load-bearing capacity of arched support using rolled steel reinforcement in mines
Authors: Baikenzhin M. A. , Asanova Zh. M.
Published: June 2021

The economic efficiency of coal mining at the reduced cost is directly related with maintenance of operation conditions in temporary roadways. This article proposes a method of increasing the loadbearing capacity of the three-link arched support made of a special rolled profile (SRP) by increasing the stiffness moments of arched support sections subjected to the greatest bending moments. It is determined to be necessary to install the same size SPR in the support sections exposed to the greatest bending moments. Mathematical modeling of the reinforcement shows that the sufficient length of SRP segments is 30 cm. The calculations show that SRP 27 is replaceable by SRP 17 with the same size inserts, which allows saving of 10 kg of steel per each meter of the arched support. The proposed method of increasing the load-bearing capacity of the support will reduce the specific content of steel in the mine support manufacture and, thereby, will enable significant saving of material and labor resources. The studies conducted to substantiate the proposed solution include: determination of bending moments and normal forces in the three-link steel arched support by the computer-aided procedure of VNIMI (All Union Research Institute of Mining Geomechanics and Mine Surveying) for the specific existing conditions, with the subsequent choice of the required size of the support; stress–strain analysis of rock mass and mine support in ANSYS environment; economic calculation of the proposed solution effectiveness. The implemented researches give grounds to believe that the proposed variant of increasing the loadbearing capacity of the support made of the rolled steel profile can significantly improve stability of mine roadways. It is possible to strengthen the support without reducing the metal content in cases of expected deformation of the support under the influence of the confining pressure, when the other methods of maintenance-free support in roadways are ineffective or require a lot of time, materials and labor.
