The dancing body as a living archive
Authors: Besson Christelle Becholey , Vionnet Claire
Published: August 2023

This autoethnographic video essay is based on The Shadow of Others, a performance presented in the seven-storey Sir Duncan Rice Library in Aberdeen (Scotland) in May 2017. Focusing on the phenomenology of the dancing body, the performance unfolded the complexity and richness of gestures. Departing from the assumption that a soloist moves with their shadows (gestures from previous dances), I argue for the plural shaping every singular gesture. Combining dance and anthropology, this video essay revisits the notions of archive, repertoire and anarchive, and proposes a reflection on the intermingling of time, gestures, memory, knowledge and history. Claiming that the (dancing) body is a living archive, I use the metaphor of shadow as a linkage between bodies and movements. Drawing on performance studies and contemporary philosophy, the work emphasizes the way artistic creation generates knowledge, asking the value of embodied practices.

Published: August 2023

Background and Aim: The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the incubator plays a key role in embryonic development and hatching. This study aimed to study the effect of non-ventilated (NV) intervals during the early stage of embryonic development on the hatching process.

Materials and Methods: Hatching eggs (n = 7200) were equally divided into four treatment groups and incubated in four incubators. The first group was incubated in normal ventilated condition (V) during the setting phase of incubation. Ventilation holes of the three remaining incubators were closed for the first 3, 6, and 9 days and termed as NV groups (NV1, NV2, and NV3, respectively). A gradual increase in CO2 was allowed for NV groups, followed by opening the incubator holes to permit ventilation throughout the rest of the incubation periods.

Results: Obtained results demonstrated that CO2 concentration gradually increased up to 0.19% for the NV1 group, 0.41% for the NV2 group, and 0.90% for the NV3 group, while CO2 concentration remained at 0.08% during the first 9 days of incubation in the V group. Albumen pH was lowered for all NV groups. The highest hatchability percentage was recorded for NV3 followed by NV2 and NV1 groups. All NV groups represented earlier and narrower spread of hatch and higher hatched chick weight. Embryos and hatched chicks in the NV groups had higher hormonal levels of thyroxin and corticosterone.

Conclusion: All non-ventilation periods had positive effects on narrowing the spread of hatch, increasing hatched chick weight and hatchability percentage compared to the normal V condition. Furthermore, the non-ventilation throughout the first 9 days of incubation yielded the best hatching results.

Keywords: albumen pH, carbon dioxide, embryonic hormones, hatchability, non-ventilation.
Enumeration of Enterococci in Treated Water from Water Treatment Plants and Distribution System in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Authors: Che Isa Nurul Huda , Yap Augustine Chung Wei
Published: August 2023

Enterococci are intestinal microflora of warm-blooded animals, including humans which can be potential fecal pollutants in streams and rivers. This can pose a risk to health due to source water contamination. In drinking water monitoring programs, enumeration of Enterococci provides additional insights on drinking water source quality, adequacy of water treatment process and microbial condition of distribution system. In Malaysia, treated water quality is monitored for Total Coliform and
Escherichiacoli under the National Standard for Drinking Water Quality but not for other emerging pathogen like Enterococci. However, it is regulated by the 25th Schedule (Food Act 1983) for Drinking Water and Packed Drinking Water and must be absent in 100 mL. Hence, the goal of this work is to fulfil Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn. Bhd. (Air Selangor)’s long-term strategy of ‘Trust Our Tap 2028’ which ensures that water supply distributed to consumers is safe to be consumed directly from tap. The occurrences of Enterococci in treated water samples from 104 sampling points across Selangor and Kuala Lumpur from January to May 2022 were enumerated via membrane filtration method and verified using Gram stain. Overall results showed that all samples were absent for Enterococci per 100 mL. They also complied with regulatory standard of Malaysian Food Act 1983. Future workwhich includes a more holistic profiling of current and new emerging pathogens in the water network of Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, Malaysia can be proposed to fully comply with the 25th Schedule of Food Act 1983.
Assessing Mental Health Services in the Wake of COVID-19 and Political Unrest in Myanmar
Authors: LIN Tay Zar , Oo San San
Published: August 2023

Myanmar's mental health and well-being have been profoundly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and political unrest. The prevalence of reported depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation highlights the imperative need to evaluate mental health access and services throughout the nation. Population anxiety and distress have increased as a result of the pandemic containment measures and political unrest. Access to mental health services is hindered, particularly in rural and minority-populated areas, by outmoded mental health legislation and a lack of trained professionals, as well as by language barriers. For the development of focused interventions and support systems, it is essential to understand the present situation of mental health access. For the promotion of mental health services, government, INGOs, and local communities are required to collaborate. Myanmar can foster resilience and well-being by prioritising mental health and employing comprehensive strategies, resulting in a healthier and more inclusive society for the citizens.

Tratamento do sorriso gengival com retração e intrusão dentoalveolar anterior superior utilizando miniparafusos intra-alveolares na região anterior e extra-alveolares na IZC, associados a cirurgia periodontal e facetas de resina: Parte 1
Authors: Villela Henrique Mascarenhas
Published: August 2023

Introdução: O sorriso gengival é caracterizado por uma exposição exagerada da gengiva, comprometendo a estética ao sorrir. Para uma abordagem terapêutica mais precisa desse problema, vários aspectos devem ser avaliados de forma cuidadosa, como: o grau de insatisfação do paciente, a idade, sexo e tipo facial, além de fatores etiológicos. Vários fatores podem estar associados para causar o sorriso gengival, desde o mais grave, como excesso vertical esquelético da maxila, até o mais simples, como aumento da gengiva. Dessa forma, é importante identificar e quantificar todos os fatores etiológicos envolvidos. Objetivo: O presente artigo apresenta o tratamento transdisciplinar de um caso clínico de sorriso gengival, no qual foi efetuado o tratamento ortodôntico para corrigir a protrusão dentoalveolar maxilar associada à extrusão dos dentes anteriores superiores. Posteriormente, foram realizadas cirurgia periodontal e restaurações com resinas compostas. Resultados: O tratamento ortodôntico promoveu redução de 1,5º no ângulo do plano oclusal (PHF.POcl de 10º para 8,5º); redução de 2,5º no ângulo do plano mandibular (FMA de 30º para 27,5º), sem modificar a discrepância sagital entre maxila e mandíbula (ANB = 6º); a inclinação dos incisivos superiores e inferiores teve redução, respectivamente, de 5º (1.PP de 111º para 106º) e de 6º (IMPA de 101º para 95º). Conclusão: A estratégia ortodôntica escolhida se mostrou eficiente como uma das etapas da correção do sorriso gengival, promovendo um bom efeito ortodôntico, com a intrusão e retração dos dentes superiores, com uma pequena alteração na posição da mandíbula, que teve uma suave rotação no sentido anti-horário, reduzindo o AFAI em 4 mm (AFAI de 74 mm para 70 mm).
Questions as a basis for comparison of biology textbooks and workbooks
Authors: Strgar Jelka
Published: August 2023

This study focused on the analysis of three biology teaching sets and one textbook for 8 and 9 grade of elementary school. As a criterion we used thenumber and structure of questions assessable by Bloom’s taxonomy of the cognitive domain. It is obvious from the differences in the number and type of questions that the authors of the teaching materials differed in their understanding of the role of textbooks and workbooks in the teaching process. The analysed teaching sets included between 1.1 and 1.4 questions per page; most of them found in workbooks. The exception was one textbook with no questions for the students.The analysis of the questions using Bloom’s scale of cognitive levels showed statistically significant differences between teaching sets. The average cognitive level of the questions in a teaching set was between 1.7 and 2.1. The questions represent only one of indicators that show to what extent the didactic aspect was considered in the teaching sets, but the results suggest biology teaching material for elementary school is overly focused on lower cognitive levels, mostly recognition, not providing enough knowledge of higher cognitive levels.

Published: August 2023

To evaluate the 2000–2004 status of lynx in the Swiss Alps, we outlined the trend within the large carnivore management compartments and estimated the number of lynx present. Throughout Switzerland all reports of lynx signs of presence were collected and classiﬁed according to their reliability. From 2000–2004, more than 2000 signs of lynx presence were recorded from the Swiss Alps. The trend of the conﬁrmed records collected over all of Switzerland showed that (1) the lynx population in the North-western Alps decreased compared to the previous pen- tad but nevertheless this compartment remained the area with the highest lynx density within Switzerland, (2) in the Valaisand Central Switzerland West the trend is slightly positive, (3) due to the translocation project, the distribution of lynx in the Swiss Alps has considerably increased and (4) that there is still good lynx habitat yet to be colonised in the Swiss Alps. To estimate the number of lynx, we used ﬁndings from systematic camera trap sessions and a radio-telemetry study as well as our expert guess. We estimated the number of lynx in 2004 at 60–90 individuals. Compared to the previous pentad, when the number of lynx in the Swiss Alps was estimated at 70, the number of lynx remained fairly stable. An expansion in the total distribution was compensated for by a decrease in the North-western Alps.

Published: August 2023

Based on reports submitted mostly by hunters and from monitoring activities in the national park Kalkalpen we tried to evaluate the status and the distribution of the lynx in the Austrian Alps for the period 2000 to 2004. Reports on lynx presence have been collected by the hunters associations of Styria, Carinthia, Upper Austria and Vorarlberg, by the national park Kalkalpen and by the department of wildlife biology and game management at the University of natural resources and applied life sciences. For the period 2000 to 2004 225 reports on lynx have been documented for the Austrian Alps. 116 of these were classiﬁed as category 3 data, 103 reports on prey remains and tracks have been conﬁrmed by trained people and classiﬁed as category 2 data and six reports concerned hard facts (C1). All hard facts and all veriﬁedrecords originate from two distinct areas – national park Kalkalpen and the Niedere Tauern mountain range. Other areas with lynx reports are the Northeastern Limestone Alps, northwesterm Carinthia and Vorarlberg. Based on the available data we can not determine the actual distribution of the lynx in Austrian Alps or the status of the species in the region. Monitoring efforts by hunters and foresters in the NiedereTauern mountain range has yielded good data on the local situation of lynx. This has to serve as a model for the future development of the monitoring system in Austria.
Snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis L.) and its phenotypic diversity in Slovenia
Authors: Bavcon Jože
Published: August 2023

In Slovenia Galanthus nivalis L. is a widely distributed species, being also the sole representative of the genus. Expansive local populations of snowdrops grow on the margins of forests, in forests and non-manured meadows. Based on the observation of its phenotypic diversity over a number of years, both in the wild and after the transfer of specimens to the Botanic Garden in Ljubljana, the morphotypes were divided into groups with respect to the following: shape of flower, size of plant as a whole, shape of outer and inner perianth segments, number of outer and inner perianth segments, green markings of outer perianth segments, pattern of inner perianth segments, shape and colour of the ovary, bracts, extra bracts, green basal leaves (number, width, colour). The Botanic Garden collection currently contains over 1000 specimens of G. nivalis, among which all aforementioned groups are represented.

Authors: Starčič-Erjavec Marjanca , Žgur-Bertok Darja
Published: August 2023

110 uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains obtained from the Institute of Microbiology and Immunology of the Medical Faculty in Ljubljana, Slovenia were screened with molecular biology methods for the well characterized adhesin gene sequences: fimH (Type 1 fimbriae), papC, papGII andpapGIII (P-fimbriae), sfa (S-fimbriae) and afa/dra (Afa/Dr adhesins). The fimH gene nucleotide sequences were detected in 97% of the isolates, papC in 49%, papGII in 34%, papGIII in 13%, sfa/foc in 24% and afa/dra sequences were harbored by 2% of the tested isolates. FimH sequences were found with similar prevalence in E. coli strains of all four phylogenetic groups A, B1, B2 and D. papC sequences were also found in all phylogenetic groups, but they were the most prevalent (64%) in the B2 group. The papGII showed the highest prevalence in the D group (48%), but papGIII adhesin sequences were exclusively found in the B2 group. A very high prevalence of S-fimbriae in the B2 group was detected. The analysis of co-associations of adhesin gene sequences and some other traits revealed that papC gene sequences were co-associated with P-fimbriae adhesin gene sequences papGII and papGIII and with S-fimbriae sfa/foc sequences. A negative association was found between papGIII and traT and between papGIII and RepFIB sequence. Interestingly, a negative association was also visible between integrons and P- and S-fimbriae, albeit the association was not statistically significant.

Diatoms: Their strange evolution and remarkable properties
Authors: Olof Björn Lars , Cronberg Gertrud
Published: August 2023

We review some new literature on diatoms, with emphasis on genomics, evolution, ecology and biomimetic nanotechnical applications. Diatoms account for a substantial part of the photosynthetic production on this planet, and their genome is a mosaic of contributions from different sources. They occupy very diverse ecological niches, and may have been the first organisms to carry out C4 photosynthesis. Their frustrules (silica enclosures) with their elaborate sculpturing make it possible to follow the occurence of different forms back in time, and the frustrules is also the main reason that they are interesting for biotechnology.

This paper investigates the transformative potential of the Internet in redefining the structure and purpose of traditional universities. It underscores the challenges posed by technology, globalization, socio-economic development, and evolving training needs, and highlights the importance of reinvention for universities to remain relevant. It argues that universities must transition from a conventional pedagogical model to one that fosters collaborative learning, enabled by digital technologies, and provides a platform for the exchange of knowledge that transcends geographical boundaries. Through the case study of UNINETTUNO, the paper elucidates the implementation of an open, inclusive, and flexible educational model offering courses in multiple languages, fostering international relations and mutual understanding. Further, it advocates the establishment of a global network of public and private universities, emphasizing shared knowledge, resources, and mobility of faculty and students. The paper concludes with a compelling call to democratize access to knowledge, promoting the use of the internet to create a worldwide, open system of teaching and learning. This vision challenges the status quo and paves the way for an educational future where learning truly knows no bounds.
Caught in the Crossfire: Bangladesh's Erosion of Human Rights in the Battle Against Terrorism and Religious Extremism
Authors: Gabbay Shaul M.
Published: August 2023

Egregious human rights violations are prevalent in Bangladesh, with torture and ill-treatment deeply ingrained within the country's law enforcement agencies, intelligence organizations, paramilitary groups, and security forces. This paper explores the rampant use of torture as a powerful tool to suppress political opponents, silence dissenting voices, and control vulnerable communities, while instilling fear among ordinary citizens. Despite enacting legislation and ratifying international conventions against torture, Bangladesh continues to struggle with a culture of impunity and lack of implementation, hindering independent investigations and delayed prosecutions. The historical context reveals the roots of violence and torture in Bangladesh, including the tragic genocide in 1971. Political instability, polarization, and the rise of religious extremism have further exacerbated the issue. The international dimension highlights external pressures, particularly from the United States and its allies, urging Bangladesh to combat terrorism and religious extremism. As a critical player in regional counterterrorism efforts, Bangladesh faces the challenge of balancing strong measures with human rights protection. The paper emphasizes the need for comprehensive reforms, strengthened accountability, and independent investigations to address the deeply ingrained practice of torture. By upholding international obligations, fostering a culture of transparency, and respecting human rights, Bangladesh can pave the way for a more equitable and rights-respecting society. Only through concerted efforts can the legacy of violence and torture be transformed into a commitment to protect the dignity and rights of all its citizens, ensuring a brighter future for Bangladesh and its people
Improved bleached eucalyptus kraft pulp-based tissue papers incorporating wet-strength resins
Authors: Matos Marina , Carta Ana M. , Pinto Paula C. , Evtuguin Dmitry V.
Published: August 2023

Common tissue paper manufacturing trends aim at partial or total replacement of softwood pulp with hardwood pulp for its production, such as bleached eucalyptus kraft pulp (BEKP), in order to optimize the process and the final product properties such as softness. However, the use of a single type of hardwood fiber results in lower strengths of both wet and dry webs. To maintain necessary strength and desired properties, the incorporation of several additives is often required. In this context, low molecular weight polyethylene glycol (PEG) and different wet strength resins, such as polyamideamine-epichlorohydrin (PAE) and glyoxalated polyacrylamide (GPAM) resins, were combined to achieve an innovated product with improved properties. In particular, wet and dry tensile strength was significantly improved when combining PEG and wet strength resins, especially observed in tissue papers prepared with PAE resin, high-charge cationic agent and bulk applied aqueous PEG solution. Noteworthy that water absorption capacity and softness of tissue paper were not critically affected by PEG incorporation, regardless of application method used (in bulk or by spray).
Artificial neural network based load balancing scheme for top of rack switches in optical data centers
Authors: Shukla Madhukar Prashant , Keswani Poonam , Keswani Bright
Published: August 2023

Data centers serve as dedicated facilities for housing computer systems and their related components, including telecommunications and storage systems. They typically have high levels of security and environmental controls to ensure that the equipment housed within them functions optimally. Data center networks (DCNs) often employ load balancing algorithms to handle large volumes of traffic and ensure that all servers and switches are utilized equally, keeping the network running smoothly. However, as load on the server varies, therefore dynamic traffic management systems that can adjust traffic flow in real-time based on the current traffic state is required. This study presents an artificial neural network-based load balancing method. By training a feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) using a back propagation (BP) learning algorithm, it evenly distributes workload over all of the nodes. Simulation results are also presented to prove the usefulness of the proposed load balancing mechanism. It is found that the load balancing scheme can reduce the packet blocking probability (PBP) by 10 folds and delay by about nearly 11 percent.
Emotions, positive comparisons, and unexamined assumptions in novice U.S. teachers’ perspectives on English learners
Authors: Adams Brittany , Stevens Elizabeth Y. , Dussling Tess , Li Sunny C.
Published: August 2023

This article focuses on a study of the decision-making and patterns of discourse of 21 novice teachers as they engaged with, reflected on, and discussed school-based scenarios about English learners. Employing qualitative content analysis, researchers explore patterns related to intention, bias, and criticality in participants’ discourse. Participants avoided engaging with scenarios where solutions could not be enacted solely within their classroom, expressing hesitation about being disruptive to the school ecosystem and fear of conflict with colleagues, superiors, or parents. They focused on immediate solutions but rarely endeavored to identify the underlying assumptions that compelled characters to act in biased ways. While participants expressed awareness of their own privileged social positionings, they often struggled to connect their social identities to the underlying assumptions that informed their reactions to the scenarios. Notably, participants often used language that exonerated them from the judgment being cast on a character. Additionally, participants repeatedly racialized social identities unrelated to race and expressed distrust of students speaking a language they could not understand. These findings offer insight regarding novice teachers’ intentions and (mis)understandings when working with English learners and offer important implications for teacher educators’ as they prepare pre-service teachers to respond to such learners.

Photocontrolled self-assembly based on photoresponsive ruthenium complexes
Authors: Zhou Yang , Cao Jingning , Zhang Dachuan , Wu Si
Published: August 2023

Self-assembly, which occurs through noncovalent interactions among molecules, is a ubiquitous phenomenon in the natural world. Light is a particularly attractive stimulus for manipulating self-assembled structures due to its precise and noninvasive nature. Photoresponsive ruthenium (Ru) complexes are emerging as promising candidates for controlling self-assembly due to their unique coordination chemistry and reversible light-triggered behavior. Specifically, Ru complexes can undergo photodissociation of their ligands in aqueous solutions, leading to the formation of Ru-H2O species, and this process can be used to control the disassembly of assembled structures upon illumination. Conversely, upon cessation of the light stimulus, some Ru–ligand coordination bonds can be restored, resulting in reassembly of the structures. Herein, we mainly introduce our recent progress in the use of Ru(Ⅱ) complexes to create photocontrolled self-assemblies with applications ranging from cancer therapy to the manipulation of the morphology and properties of nanoscale materials. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future directions of photocontrolled assemblies with Ru complexes.
Questioning questions – the perception of f0 scaling in German questions between categorical function and continuous attitude
Authors: Michalsky Jan
Published: August 2023

In previous studies comparing the intonation of questions and statements in German, greater f0 excursions of phrase-final rises have been associated with questions in both read speech and spontaneous speech. This holds for production studies as well as perception studies. However, a major question remains whether these differences are perceived categorically or continuously. Furthermore, we ask whether the differences in f0 scaling correspond to categorical linguistic functions or rather an attitudinal continuum. We conducted three different perception experiments: a classical categorical perception task, an imitation task, and a semantic evaluation task. The results suggest that f0 scaling in phrase-final rises is perceived as a phonetic continuum rather than in phonological categories. Furthermore, the gradual increase of the final rise is associated with a gradual increase in perceivedquestioning. Lastly, the phonetic cues to thisdegree of questioningare distinct from those to the other investigated meaningssurpriseanduncertainty. Accordingly, this study supports the assumption thatquestioningconstitutes an attitudinal meaning in its own right.
Kinetic and thermodynamic studies of H2S adsorption by lignin-based composite membranes
Authors: Li Qiushuang , Li Fen , Yang Ying , Yan Hong , Li Youjing , Zheng Menglong , Chen Huiyu
Published: August 2023

Two lignin-based composite films were prepared by solution casting, which were named Cu-CLA/PVA and CuO-LA/PVA/CNF, respectively. The kinetic and thermodynamic analyses of the deodorization process of the composite membranes were performed by using adsorption models. The results showed that both membranes had good adsorption performance for H2S with the adsorption amounts of 36.39 mg g−1 and 35.69 mg g−1, respectively. The adsorption processes were mainly following the pseudo-secondary kinetic model, intraparticle diffusion model, and Freundlich isothermal adsorption model, indicating that the intraparticle diffusion resistance controlled the H2S adsorption rate and H2S was adsorbed on the non-homogeneous surface of the membranes through multiple layers. The adsorption of H2S by Cu-CLA/PVA is an exothermic process, while the adsorption of H2S by CuO-LA/PVA/CNF is a heat-absorbing process, indicating that Cu-CLA/PVA is more suitable for H2S adsorption at low temperatures, but CuO-LA/PVA/CNF, at higher temperatures, is favorable for H2S adsorption reactions. △G is negative of both Cu-CLA/PVA and CuO-LA/PVA/CNF, indicating that both Cu-CLA/PVA and CuO-LA/PVA/CNF are spontaneous for H2S adsorption.
The Importance of Previous Resistance Training Volume on Muscle Growth in Trained Individuals
Authors: Hammert William B. , Moreno Enrique N. , Buckner Samuel L.
Published: August 2023

Resistance training volume has been suggested to be one of the most effective variables for developing muscular hypertrophy. Meta-analyses have concluded that there exists a dose-response relationship between weekly resistance training volume (i.e., the number of sets performed over the training week) and muscle mass accrual in nonresistance-trained individuals; however, experimental data in resistance-trained individuals have shown conflicting results. Current literature suggests that the performance of additional sets of resistance exercise within a single training session and training week does not inherently result in greater increases in muscle size compared with groups or conditions that perform lower volumes of resistance training. Notwithstanding these results, it has been suggested that controlling for each individual's previous training volume could improve the precision of the muscle hypertrophic response to resistance training and that failing to do so would disregard the principle of progressive overload. Herein, we explore the evidence for the suggestion that a higher-volume approach to training, in comparison to what an individual has been accustomed to, would improve the precision of the muscle growth response to resistance training and the physiological rationale that may (or may not) underpin this phenomenon.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) access and adherence decreased nationwide. This study examined pandemic-related disruptions to PrEP access and adherence among clients of a health center (Center) in Los Angeles, California. Clients (n = 25) and Center personnel (n = 11) completed qualitative interviews from March to July 2021. Although the Center provided options for remote PrEP care (i.e., telehealth, STI self-testing kits, and prescription delivery), clients experienced difficulty navigating services or lacked equipment for telehealth. More than half (n = 13) of clients discontinued PrEP during COVID-19 due to decreased sexual partners, relocation, or insurance status changes. Among those who continued PrEP, the majority reported no change in adherence, while a minority reported worsening adherence due to distractions/forgetting, prescription refill issues, lack of insurance coverage, and fear of completing in-person visits. Findings highlight the challenges of navigating PrEP services during COVID-19 and suggest PrEP services enhancement to adapt to crisis events.

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations experience discrimination and care-related barriers when seeking appropriate sexual health services. Using rapid assessment procedures we conducted site visits with 11 community-based HIV service agencies to identify priorities, assets, and needs related to serving SGM clients and assessed the alignment of these services with the city's local Ending the HIV Epidemic plan. We identified and mapped themes across agencies into the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research domains of inner and outer settings: client-facing materials; priorities in serving SGM communities; SGM policies and protocols; collecting sexual orientation and gender identity data; training and education; and funding and scope of programs. Rapid assessment procedures can accelerate the collection and interpretation of data to help public health institutions and community partners make timely adaptations when implementing comprehensive and culturally humble sexual health services for SGM communities.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective biomedical HIV prevention option, yet adoption among Black women, who are disproportionately impacted by HIV, is low. A nuanced understanding of the multi-level factors that contribute to elevated risk is necessary to better contextualize PrEP uptake. Qualitative data from Black women residing in the Southern U.S. who self-screened as HIV-negative, were collected via four focus groups (N = 27) to understand influences on HIV vulnerability and the potential role of PrEP in mitigating risk. Content analysis of transcribed data yielded multiple themes addressing: the pervasiveness of sexual partner sharing; lack of transparency regarding HIV status, disclosure, and testing; and social/cultural influences on HIV risk. Experiences with the health care system and providers were of particular concern. Findings demonstrate support for PrEP in this population and contribute to our understanding of individual, social, and structural factors to better inform PrEP promotion.

Assim sendo, busca-se discutir sentidos e significados culturais atribuídos a comida e ao ato de alimentar-se em tais estabelecimentos comerciais.
Patrimônio alimentar, patrimônio turístico: potencialidades regionais a partir do reconhecimento formal de saberes e produtos alimentícios
Authors: Minasse Maria Henriqueta Sperandio Garcia Gimenes
Published: August 2023

Este artigo tem o objetivo de refletir sobre a potencialidade turística do ponto de vista regional a partir de ações do IPHAN (por meio do registro do patrimônio imaterial), do Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Industrial - INPI (por meio da concessão de indicações geográficas) e da Organização das Nações Unidas para a Educação, Ciência e Cultura UNESCO (por meio da concessão do título de Cidades Criativas da Gastronomia). Foi desenvolvido a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa e da busca de informações nos websites das entidades abordadas: IPHAN, INPI e UNESCO. Após o levantamento dos dados e sua sistematização por região, foi possível constatar a variedade de produtos e bens culturais reconhecidos formalmente, permitindo vislumbrar um potencial turístico significativo, face aos diferentes usos (atrativo turístico, souvenir,...) que este patrimônio pode ganhar.
Cais do Valongo: a luta antirracista pela memória da escravidão afro-atlântica
Authors: Suiama Sergio Gardenghi
Published: August 2023

O artigo discute o tratamento patrimonial conferido atualmente ao Cais do Valongo, sítio arqueológico reconhecido como patrimônio mundial pela Unesco, em 2017, por constituir a mais importante evidência física associada à chegada de africanos escravizados no continente americano. O artigo considera o monumento como lugar de memória difícil, e analisa o estágio atual do problema à luz das ideias sobre os usos da memória e do esquecimento coletivos desenvolvidas pelo filósofo francês Paul Ricœur.
Reflexiones para la construcción del discurso de patrimonialización desde la interculturalidad
Authors: Vallejo Infante Henry Rafael , Colvero Ronaldo Bernardino
Published: August 2023

Partiendo de las prácticas patrimoniales en Brasil y Venezuela, el presente escrito asume como intencionalidad, abordar críticamente, la construcción discursiva de los objetos, colecciones y expresiones inmateriales, estudiadas por los investigadores culturales, procurando honrar la interculturalidad como fenómeno sociocultural de los pueblos, a fin de ofrecer posibles vías de solución que contribuyan a la integración en total horizontalidad de la institucionalidad del Estado, la academia y todos los grupos sociales que conforman los públicos como consumidores finales. Por tal razón, se realizó un trabajo de campo, declarado onto-epistemológicamente desde los postulados del paradigma socio-construccionista, además se desarrolló un abordaje etnográfico, fundamentado en entrevistas a profesionales del área, las cuales fueron analizadas hermenéuticamente y complejizadas con autores de gran trayectoria que estudian las políticas de patrimonialización, musealización, dignificación, salvaguarda y proyección de bienes y manifestaciones de interés público, como: Prats (1998), (2005), Poulot (2006), Brulon (2018) y García Canclini (2021).

Mitochondria are central for cellular metabolism and energy supply. Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a severe disorder, due to dysfunction of the mitochondrial cardiolipin acyl transferase tafazzin. Altered cardiolipin remodeling affects mitochondrial inner membrane organization and function of membrane proteins such as transporters and the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system. Here, we describe a mouse model that carries a G197V exchange in tafazzin, corresponding to BTHS patients. TAZG197V mice recapitulate disease‐specific pathology including cardiac dysfunction and reduced oxidative phosphorylation. We show that mutant mitochondria display defective fatty acid‐driven oxidative phosphorylation due to reduced levels of carnitine palmitoyl transferases. A metabolic switch in ATP production from OXPHOS to glycolysis is apparent in mouse heart and patient iPSC cell‐derived cardiomyocytes. An increase in glycolytic ATP production inactivates AMPK causing altered metabolic signaling in TAZG197V. Treatment of mutant cells with AMPK activator reestablishes fatty acid‐driven OXPHOS and protects mice against cardiac dysfunction.
Metric and topology on the poset of compact pseudoultrametrics
Authors: Nykorovych S. , Nykyforchyn O.
Published: August 2023

In two ways we introduce metrics on the set of all pseudoultrametrics, not exceeding a given compact pseudoultrametric on a fixed set, and prove that the obtained metrics are compact and topologically equivalent. To achieve this, we give a characterization of the sets being the hypographs of the mentioned pseudoultrametrics, and apply Hausdorff metric to their family. It is proved that the uniform convergence metric is a limit case of metrics defined via hypographs. It is shown that the set of all pseudoultrametrics, not exceeding a given compact pseudoultrametric, with the induced topology is a Lawson compact Hausdorff upper semilattice.
“¿Cómo te sientes? – With my butt!”: code-choice-related humor in bilingual speakers living with dementia of the Alzheimer’s type
Authors: Schneider Carolin , Qalaj Besa
Published: August 2023

This study investigates data from three narrative interviews held with people living with early- and mid-stage dementia of the Alzheimer’s type (DAT) and their primary care partners speaking English and Spanish in informal settings; the analysis focuses on the humorous moves which are employed by the participants living with dementia in both languages. Drawing on the General Theory of Verbal Humor and the Cooperative Principle, this study sheds light on the conversational humor on a semantic (i.e. language-dependent) as well as pragmatic level (i.e. contextually situated) initiated by the people living with dementia in this dataset while investigating the interpersonal goals behind such moves. By analyzing the (intentional) humorous practices and their respective code choices, our aim is to gain a better understanding of the pragmatic abilities of speakers which are retained while experiencing communication challenges in the face of DAT. This study thus contributes with increased knowledge about people living with dementia as active conversational partners.
Towards a more complete picture of discourse in dementia studies
Authors: Hamilton Heidi E.
Published: August 2023

Although research at the intersection of language and dementia has matured over the past several decades, much still needs to be accomplished in the quest to understand how discourse relates to the quality of everyday life for individuals living with dementia. Toward this goal, this essay proposes four concrete steps that scholars can take in the design and execution of their studies to move collectively and incrementally toward a more complete picture of discourse in dementia: (1) move beyond interviews and casual conversations as primary sources of data; (2) video record activities to allow for multimodal analyses; (3) develop sustained collaborative relationships with families, institutions, and/or individuals with dementia; and (4) seek out partners in other disciplines.
