Published: February 2024

O presente texto é uma reflexão inicial acerca da presença marcante da Segunda Guerra Mundial como tema, direto ou transversal, em filmes produzidos nos Estados Unidos e Reino Unido nas duas primeiras décadas do presente século. A partir da metodologia comparada, buscamos evidenciar os usos políticos desta temática dentro uma lógica da produção cultural do cinema e quais mecanismos e discursos foram alocados na diversidade de obras, apresentando diferentes perspectivas sobre o período de guerra mas também construindo conceitos que foram vinculados à uma série de outras análises sobre o papel de cada um dos países como ator no desenrolar e conclusão da Segunda Guerra.
Escenarios y retos de la espiritualidad femenina y su estudio.
Authors: Del Rosario Ramírez Morales María
Published: February 2024

La espiritualidad femenina, que hasta hace unos años era vista como una expresión marginal y que hoy forma parte de la pluralidad de las formas de creer y practicar, ha revelado los límites del análisis de lo religioso en términos institucionales y teológicos, pero también aquellos que impone una mirada patriarcal sobre los modos de comprender, significar y encarnar lo sagrado y lo político. A partir de las formas narrativas, prácticas y simbólicas que se movilizan desde la perspectiva epistemológica de la espiritualidad femenina, también han surgido reflexiones sobre la práctica espiritual en relación con el feminismo, frente a la violencia estructural y de género y, por supuesto, de cara a una agenda pública y política que cada vez coloca a las mujeres en el centro de las discusiones y reflexiones. Desde una visión latinoamericana y de género, este artículo pretende problematizar algunos de los temas y escenarios que han surgido alrededor de la espiritualidad femenina, su estudio y su relación con otros movimientos sociales y religiosos.
Effect of eccentricity on electromagnetic logging signals with LWD and VEMKZ instruments (numerical simulation results from some publications)
Authors: Sukhorukova K. V.
Published: February 2024

During drilling, formation fluids are pushed aside by mud filtrate. As a result, the electrophysical properties of rocks near the borehole wall change. Sounding methods are used to determine the resistivity of the part of the reservoir that is remote from the well and unchanged during drilling. Among these methods, electromagnetic logging has the best spatial resolution. However, when analyzing the practical data of electromagnetic sounding, "wrong" ratios of signals from probes of different lengths are often observed, including those showing penetration in impermeable rocks. One of the reasons may be the influence of the shift of the device from the axis of symmetry of the medium. The paper considers the results of numerical simulation of signals from decentralized probes of LWD and VEMKZ instruments in some models.

The Nature of God: God is Self-Existent, Omniscient, Sovereign, and Triune
Authors: Potana Venkateswara Rao
Published: February 2024

It can be difficult for us to understand some aspects of God's nature since they are so different from what we normally experience as humans. We might eventually accept that these things are true of God as our trust in the Lord deepens, but we'll undoubtedly spend a lot of time pondering how these things function in the meantime. Due to their limited brains, humans find it difficult to understand God's nature, although it is clear from the scriptures that God has made himself known to be self-existent, omniscient, Sovereign, and Triune. Therefore, this paper attempts to understand the Biblical concept of the nature of God.
Szklarska Poręba: góralskie imaginarium i karkonoska lokalność, czyli funkcjonalna sprzeczność
Authors: Kurpiel Anna
Published: February 2024

Przedmiotem artykułu jest Szklarska Poręba – turystyczne miasteczko leżące u podnóży Karkonoszy, od powojnia znajdujące się na terytorium Polski (przed wojną niemieckie Schreiberhau). Celem pracy jest przyjrzenie się praktykom dotyczącym spuścizny miejsca uwikłanego w glokalny przemysł turystyczny. Analizie podlega przenoszenie w Karkonosze podhalańsko-góralskiego folkloru, co interpretowane jest jako fantazmatyczna kontynuacja kolonizacji ziem zachodnich, jak również poszukiwania lokalnych odniesień i związany z nimi dylemat cudzego dziedzictwa. Na podstawie analizy wybranych przykładów i praktyk wprowadzone jest pojęcie „funkcjonalna sprzeczność” jako próba określenia i podsumowania fenomenów współistniejących w Szklarskiej Porębie.
Zniewalający urok prostych pomysłów. Filmy Iris Zaki
Authors: Sikora Sławomir
Published: February 2024

Artykuł jest analizą twórczości izraelskiej filmowczyni Iris Zaki. Jej kolejne filmy (My Kosher Shifts, Women in Sink, Unsettling) podejmują coraz trudniejsze politycznie i etycznie problemy dotyczące świata Żydów oraz relacji żydowsko-palestyńskich, a prezentowane kolejno tematy to żydowski ultraortodoksyjny hotel w Londynie, palestyński zakład fryzjerski, którego klientkami są zarówno Żydówki, jak i Palestynki, oraz głos nowego pokolenia Żydów zamieszkujących w osiedlu założonym na dawnych ziemiach palestyńskich. Ważnymi tematami są kwestie tożsamości, etniczności, religii, ale też różnicy i relacji. Szczególnie w dwóch pierwszych filmach warto zwrócić uwagę na usytuowanie Zaki jako osoby pracującej (recepcja, pomoc fryzjerska) – pozwala ono na wytworzenie ciekawej relacji między podmiotami, z którymi Zaki prowadzi rozmowy, a także redefiniuje relacje hierarchiczne. Zaki swoją metodę filmowania nazwała abandoned camera. Przypomina ona tradycyjną fly-on-the-wall, ale tu znajduje dodatkowe uzasadnienie – „porzucając kamerę” i „wychodząc” przed nią, Zaki w centrum filmowania stawia ucieleśnioną relację-rozmowę.

Behavioral Public Administration (BPA): The Need for a New Field (Literature Review)
Authors: Dzidziguri Gvantsa
Published: February 2024

Modern scientific literature agrees on the issue that it is impossible to perceive public administration as a separate field. Public administration as a field, by general definition, includes the implementation of public policy and the structure and work of various actors (state or non-state) involved in the implementation process. Due to the voluminous nature of the mentioned field, it is not appropriate to consider them separately, because the organizations involved in the process of public policy implementation are not self-generated structures but each organization relies on human resources. Therefore, in the agenda of the scientific space, together with the research in the field of public administration, there was a need to use the results of the research of behavioral science.

The paper specifically deals with the issue of analyzing the necessity of behavioral public administration as a field, which is analyzed through a literature review. The sources used to analyze the mentioned issue include relevant scientific articles and books.

The purpose of the study is to determine and analyze the connection between behavioral science and the field of public administration, and the effectiveness of their combination, which leads to the broader goal of the study, which should answer the question of the necessity and effectiveness of the existence of behavioral public administration as a field.

The relevance of the research stems from the broad nature of the field of public administration, which puts on the agenda the need to combine the achievements of various adjacent fields.

This study examines the Goendih-Soerabaja railway line for the period 1903-1922. The purpose of this study is to explain the reasons for the construction of the railroad, the process of building the railroad, and its impact on the surrounding community. The results of this study indicate that the construction of the Goendih-Soerabaja railway line had a positive impact on the economy of the Dutch East Indies Government. Inaugurated on February 1, 1903, rail transportation encouraged economic growth in areas that became the path of the Goendih-Soerabaja railroad. The forced cultivation system has had a major impact on plantations, problems that have occurred due to the damage of export commodities before arriving at the port can now be resolved by the presence of rail transportation. Another factor is that the start of oil drilling operations in the Tjepu area has created the need for large-capacity oil transport in shipping to ports. Another impact of the existence of rail transportation is that the mobility of people who travel now saves more travel time.

O nieco zapomnianym erotyku rzymskim
Authors: Głombiowska Zofia
Published: February 2024

The article concerns the poem Dirae preserved in Appendix Vergiliana, or more precisely its second part that speaks of love for Lydia. The author presents the structure of the work, discusses the way of depicting female beauty and anthropomorphization of nature — which was later imitated by Petrarch — and assesses the selection of mythological motifs and indicates their sources (Homer, Hesiod). Regarding the portrayal of love, she assesses the differences in comparison to the Roman elegy as significant — the separation of lovers and the love drama in the poem about Lydia is not caused by the girl’s indifference infidelity, but by political decisions (confiscation of land in favour of war veterans forces a man to leave the village). The poem depicts free, fulfilled love as a transgression. Since the text in the codices is full of errors, its interpretation presented here also includes numerous reflections on manuscript lessons and publishers’ corrections (as in the last lines of the work, for example) or is based on the punctuation of sentence construction (as in verses 142–143 [L 38–40]).

Reactive oxygen species and its role in pathogenesis and resistance to therapy in acute myeloid leukemia
Authors: Khorashad Jamshid Sorouri , Rizzo Sian , Tonks Alex
Published: February 2024

Relapse following a short clinical response to therapy is the major challenge for the management of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Leukemic stem cells (LSC), as the source of relapse, have been investigated for their metabolic preferences and their alterations at the time of relapse. As LSC rely on oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) for energy requirement, reactive oxygen species (ROS), as by-products of OXPHOS, have been investigated for their role in the effectiveness of the standard AML therapy. Increased levels of non-mitochondrial ROS, generated by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase, in a subgroup of AML patients add to the complexity of studying ROS. Although there are various studies presenting the contribution of ROS to AML pathogenesis, resistance, and its inhibition or activation as a target, a model that can clearly explain its role in AML has not been conceptualized. This is due to the heterogeneity of AML, the dynamics of ROS production, which is influenced by factors such as the type of treatment, cell differentiation state, mitochondrial activity, and also the heterogeneous generation of non-mitochondrial ROS and limited available data on their interaction with the microenvironment. This review summarizes these challenges and the recent progress in this field.
Resampling Strategies and their Influence on Heart Rate Variability Features in Low Sampling Rate Electrocardiogram Data
Authors: Zakariyah Muhammad , Zaky Umar , Nurjaman Muhammad , Istikmal Agil Ghani , Widianto Hafizh Athallah
Published: February 2024

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a parameter to measure fluctuations in the interval between heartbeats. HRV provides essential insights into the cardiovascular function and autonomic nervous system. Electrocardiograms (ECG) on wearable devices are often recorded at low sampling rates, limiting temporal resolution and information. Resampling is a technique of changing the sampling rate from a high sampling rate to a lower sampling rate and vice versa. This research aims to evaluate the effect of resampling ECG data with a low sampling rate on HRV features. ECG data consists of 50 Hz and 100 Hz sampling rates. Data with a 50 Hz sampling rate is up-sampled up to 100 Hz, while 100 Hz data is down-sampled up to 50 Hz and up-sampled up to 250 Hz using the Fast Fourier Transform Interpolation Method. Upsampling from 50 Hz to 100 Hz shows unsatisfactory results, except for some HRV features such as NN20, pNN20, and CVI. Better results were found when up sampling from 100 Hz up to 250 Hz, with some HRV features showing good concordance values. However, downsampling from 100 Hz up to 50 Hz is unsuitable for HRV feature analysis. To obtain accurate HRV analysis results in all domains, it is highly recommended to use a sampling rate above 100 Hz.

Side reactions at electrolyte-electrode interfaces are the key to failures of lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Recent works fell short of rationalizing the whole picture of interfacial reactions quantitatively. Here we develop and combine multiple techniques to systematically study the interfacial reactions in LMBs with an ether-based electrolyte. Reduction, oxidation pathways of lithium salt and organic solvents, formation of key solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) species such as LiH and Li2CO3, gas generation and its cross-talk, are quantitatively mapped out. We find that the reduction of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) salt is the dominant cause of both electrolyte “dry-out” and lithium inventory loss. FSI anion-derived SEI has significantly promoted lithium metal cycleablity, but it now becomes the limiting factor for the long cycling of LMBs. Based on these findings, we propose a new paradigm for long-cycling electrolyte design, where LiFSI content is maximized without compromising viscosity and ionic conductivity. Following this strategy, we prolong the life of a LMB to nearly 500 cycles under 20 μm Li and 2.1 g/Ah lean electrolyte conditions. Our work demonstrates a bottom-up design methodology where electrolyte formulations are iterated based on a clear understanding of cell failure mechanisms.

Prostate cancer bone metastasis is a predominant cause of death for prostate cancer (PCa) patients. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we report that high levels of RNF41 are associated with metastatic human prostate cancer. RNF41 silencing inhibits prostate cancer cell growth, cell migration and invasion in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we identify that RNF41 induces K27- and K63-linked noncanonical polyubiquitination of MYO1C to enhance its stability and induce actin remodeling, which promotes PCa bone metastasis. RNF41 was significantly up-regulated in metastatic prostate cancer tissues and positively associated with MYO1C expression. Furthermore, we show in intraarterial injected- bone metastasis xenograft model that targeting MYO1C stability by inhibition of RNF41 markedly suppressed PCa bone metastasis. Collectively, our findings identify RNF41 is an important regulator of prostate cancer cell growth and metastasis and targeting RNF41/MYO1C could be a valuable strategy to ameliorate prostate cancer progression and metastasis.

Herbal treatments are nowadays considered dietary supplements and nutraceuticals for health maintenance and alternative/complementary therapy. A large range of herbal medications worldwide can easily be accessible in the local market. The polyherbal formulation (Stress-WIN) containing Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera L. Dunal), Pushkarmoola (Inula racemosa Hook. F.), and Jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansi (D. Don) DC.) root has been used empirically in the management of hypertension. However, toxicity data for the Stress-WIN is not available yet. The present study aims to evaluate the Stress-WIN's safety profile by 28 days of repeated dose oral toxicity in Wistar rats. Rats received different doses (500 mg/kg/day, 1000 mg/kg/day, and 2000 mg/kg/day) of Stress-WIN, for 28 days. The study was conducted in compliance with the OECD guideline 423. No significant differences were observed in hematological and biochemical parameters as compared to the control group (p > 0.05). Histopathological studies revealed no significant alterations in the macroscopic and microscopic architecture of the liver, kidney, heart, and spleen of the Stress-WIN treated groups in comparison to the control group (p > 0.05). Findings from the present study suggest that Stress-WIN supplementation has not shown any side effects in terms of sub-acute toxicity in both male and female rats. These findings indicated no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of Stress-WIN was higher than 2000 mg/kg/day.

In order to study the historical wet and dry changes in the northern Daxing'anling region of China, this paper established a standard chronology of tree-ring width at high (1150 m), medium (800–900 m), and low (700 m) elevations. The analysis was based on tree-ring cores of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica from three elevation gradients in the northern Daxing'anling and correlates it with the SPEI (Standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index) of 12-month time scale. The established widths were correlated with the SPEI at a 12-month time scale. Climate-growth correlation analysis revealed that the low elevation chronology exhibited the highest correlation with the SPEI index in July–August (r = 0.665, p < 0.01). Based on this, a linear regression model between the low elevation tree-ring width chronology and the July–August SPEI index was established via regression analysis to reconstruct the dry and wet changes in the study area in the past 210 years. The explained variance (R2) of the reconstructed equation was 44.3%, (the explained variance after adjusting for degrees of freedom was 43.3%), and the F-value was 45.295.The reconstruction satisfied required statistical calibration and validation tests. The inter-annual variations indicate that the study area experienced six wet periods (1809–1818, 1828–1837, 1848–1864, 1928–1948, 1950–1972 and 1996–2003) and six dry periods (1819–1827, 1838–1847, 1865–1904, 1906–1923, 1973–1988 and 2004–2018), with an equal share of wet and dry years (13.8% and 14.8%). The reconstruction results are confirmed by the historical data and the reconstruction results of the surrounding region of the study area. Wavelet analysis reveals oscillatory cycles of 18, 26–29, and 40 years in the reconstructed sequence, which may be related to the North Atlantic Sea Surface Temperature Multi-Year Intergenerational Oscillation (AMO) and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO).

This cohort study aims to examine the clinical characteristics of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) combined with pulmonary infection in hospitalized patients. Additionally, a new prediction model has been developed to evaluate the risk . One retrospective set (N = 371) was conducted to develop a predictive model. The clinical, radiological and laboratory features were collected and subjected to logistic regression analyses. The predictive model was displayed as a nomogram, which was externally validated in an independent set (N = 124). In the IIM patients with pneumonia, 100 strains of pathogenic bacteria were found, with fungal infections accounting for the majority. The novel nomogram model, which included the following parameters: age, combined ILD, albumin, lymphocyte count, C-reactive protein, and fibrinogen, was constructed successfully. The model had the AUC of 0.792 (95% CI: 0.744-0.839) and a C-index of 0.792 (95% CI: 0.744 - 0.839). It maintained good calibration values with an AUC of 0.744 (95% CI: 0.640 - 0.848) in the external validation set. This new nomogram shown high predictive performance in diagnosing IIM paired with pulmonary infection. This novel nomogram model was developed from a retrospective study and externally validated in an independent set based on six easily accessible clinical variables, and it exhibited good diagnostic performance.

Authors: Singh Priyanka , Mijakovic Ivan
Published: February 2024

This study presents a novel approach utilizing barley grains for the green synthesis of gold (Barley-AuNPs) and silver nanoparticles (Barley-AgNPs). The study emphasizes the sustainable nature of barley-mediated synthesis, positioning it as an environmentally friendly alternative for nanoparticle production. The rapid synthesis of Barley-AuNPs within 20 minutes and Barley-AgNPs within 30 minutes at 90°C underscores the efficiency of barley as a green precursor. Characterization through advanced techniques, including SEM, TEM, EDX, AFM, DLS, FTIR, MALDI-TOF and sp-ICPMS, reveals the 20–30 nm size for Barley-AuNPs, while Barley-AgNPs demonstrate 2–10 nm size with monodispersity. A notable contribution lies in the stability of these nanoparticles over extended periods, attributed to a thick biological corona layer. This corona layer, which enhances stability, also influences the antimicrobial activity of Barley-AgNPs, presenting an intriguing trade-off. Moreover, the antimicrobial investigations highlight the significant potential of Barley-AgNPs, with distinct minimum bactericidal concentrations (MIC) against P. aeruginosa and E. coli at 8 µg/ml. Overall, this research not only pioneers the use of barley in nanoparticle synthesis but also unveils the unique characteristics and potential applications of these nanoparticles, contributing to the evolving landscape of sustainable nanotechnology.

Published: February 2024

Background Emotional intelligence (EI) is a critical set of skills that impacts clinical pharmacists’ well-being and positively influences high-level patient-centered care. Providing pharmacists’ perceptions may support the integration of EI development approaches into their professional development continuum.
Objective This research aimed to analyse pharmacists’ perceptions of the characteristics of emotionally intelligent clinical pharmacists, the importance of EI in clinical practice, and educational models and approaches to enhancing EI.
Method A qualitative study with a focus group methodology was conducted with pharmacy practitioners using a semistructured guide grounded in the EI competency framework and existing qualitative research methodology practices. Purposive sampling was conducted until information and meaning saturation had occurred. The focus group recordings were transcribed and independently coded by two researchers. Pharmacists' attitudes were categorized and examined through descriptive statistics. The conventional content analysis of qualitative data was applied.
Results According to the 17 focus group participants, emotionally intelligent clinical pharmacists are perceived as self-confident communicators who control and manage emotions, work well under pressure, and handle every situation effectively. Emotional self-control, self-awareness and awareness of others, and demonstration of tolerance, understanding, and empathy have emerged as key EI competencies required for challenges in clinical practice. EI lectures with clinical application reflections, behavior modelling, and behavior-changing methods were perceived to be of particular importance for pharmacist education and development programs.
Conclusions Clinical pharmacists and other practitioners perceived EI competencies as necessary for their professional success and high-quality patient-centered care. They suggested that they be a focal point in pharmacy professional development programs.

Background
Borderline resectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) poses significant clinical challenges. This study evaluated the outcomes of patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiation (NA-CRT), durvalumab, and surgery.
Materials and Methods
A retrospective analysis of an institutional database identified patients with borderline resectable stage III NSCLC treated with NA-CRT, durvalumab, and completion surgery. The data collected included radiographic and pathologic responses, surgical and clinical outcomes, and adverse events (AEs).
Results
Between 2017 and2021, 11 patients received NA-CRT, durvalumab, and completion surgery. Patients received a median number of 6 durvalumab treatments. Preoperative imaging revealed partial response (n = 5) or stable disease (n = 6). Surgical procedures included lobectomy (n = 10) or pneumonectomy (n = 1), resulting in R0 resection in all patients. Eight patients (73%) had a pathologic complete response (pCR), and 9 (82%) had a major pathologic response (MPR). At a median follow-up of 27 months, two cases of metastatic recurrence occurred. The median, 1-year, and 2-year estimates of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were: 23 months and 25 months, 82% and 100%, and 72% and 80% respectively. Univariate analysis revealed no factors associated with pCR, MPR, PFS, or OS. Six patients had immune-related AEs (irAEs), 6 had postoperative AEs, and none were grade 4 or 5.
Conclusion
This integrated approach of NA-CRT + durvalumab exhibited promising outcomes and tolerability in patients with borderline resectable stage III NSCLC. These results suggest a rationale for including radiation therapy in future trials examining neoadjuvant strategies for resectable NSCLC patients.
