Teenage Induced Abortions Trends in New Zealand Between the Period 2000-2019
Authors: Das Mahashweta , Ray Malabika , Chakraborty Prabir , Ghosh Chiranjib
Published: July 2021

Teenage pregnancies and related induced abortions reveal a major public health issue [1,2]. In many countries such as USA, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, abortion of a previable fetus is legal, while it is illegal in many countries over the world. In the USA, there are many state-specific restrictions such as gestational age restrictions, mandatory waiting periods exist, and there are 50% pregnancies are unintended, while around 40% unintended pregnancies end in induced abortion, about 90% of procedures are done during the 1st trimester [3,4]. In countries where abortion is legal, it is commonly safe with rare complications, while it is very dangerous for women's health issues for the countries where abortion is illegal [3-5]. Induced abortions are highly associated with major health issues. An induced abortion is one of the primary usual gynecological procedures. Despite highly developed abortion methods, there are many known adverse effects and risks that must be considered in public health issues. Completion of an induced abortion can be verified by directly watching removal of uterine contents through ultrasonography used during the procedure. Over the world, 13% of maternal deaths are secondary due to induced abortion, while majority of these deaths take place in countries where abortion is illegal [5-7]. Potential complications associated with induced abortions include bleeding, pain, an infection in the upper genital tract, or an incomplete abortion that causes oophoritis, endometritis, salpingitis, and parametritis [6-9]. Teenage induced abortions trends are very little studied in the previous articles [1,2,10]. In fact in women’s health studies abortions trends are not studied properly. The word “Trend” is related to a data set for a long period of time, known as time series data. Trend is defined as the persevering and gradual movement of the series for a long period of time. Thus, the long term variation of a time series data for smooth downward decrease or upward increase is known as trend [11,12]. Actually the trend problem is one of statistical statements, we have by no means converted the problem to a mathematical basis, nor have we done away with the requisite for necessary investigation of the characteristics of the original data. Very little abortions trends are studied based on statistical modeling [2,10]. The current article aims to derive teenage induced abortions trends based on statistical approach Joint Generalized Linear Models (JGLMs), which are very little studied in the women’s health literature. The article is ordered as follows. The next section presents materials and methods which are used in the article. The following sections are statistical analysis and results, and discussions and conclusions.
Factors Affecting the Retailer Perception for the Sale of Snacking Products through Traditional Trade Retail Outlets in India
Authors: Katiyar Gagan
Published: July 2021

The primary focus of the present study was to map the perceptions of retailers concerning different factors that may influence the sale of different brands under the snacking product category through traditional trade retail outlets. The study also attempts to identify the key factors affecting the sales of major snacking brands operating in India. Snacks form a major segment of the food industry which is highly competitive in India, as well as globally. Hence, it is necessary for marketers to map the important brand attributes that influence sales and which may help marketers to customize their product offerings so as to increase their top and bottom lines. The research was conducted at Delhi NCR Region that identified 10 factors, including packaging, product quality, festival sales, visual merchandising, price, stock replenishment (damaged and old), stock refilling (new stock), ladi packs (Rs 5) and margins and schemes were the major factors that influenced sales from retail outlets. Parle and ITC were found to be the closely competing brands in the snacking product market. It is established from the study that marketers should focus on the critical factors while designing their marketing strategies because such factors greatly affect retailer perceptions which in turn affect the sales of the snacking products involved. Additionally, the study highlights the relative position of different leading brands, vis-à- vis the local players in the same segment. This would help marketers of branded products to identify their respective positions in the competitive space as per the retailer perceptions. Hence, they would need to modify and redesign their marketing strategies so as to obtain a competitive edge in a high growth market.

Pablo VI transfigurado, zahorí de Dios y pontonero de la Iglesia
Authors: Díez Barroso Santiago
Published: July 2021

En esta charla me refiero a Pablo VI como transfigurado, zahorí de Dios, y pontonero de la Iglesia. Fue transfigurado, porque toda su vida la vivió en permanente transfiguración-configuración con Cristo Jesús. Zahorí, porque tuvo un carisma muy acentuado, para detectar los manantiales de la vida espiritual, pero también el de averiguar carencias como la sed y el hambrede justicia, de paz y de plenitud, y el de hacer propuestas sanadoras. Pontonero de la Iglesia por su actitud dialogal, por su capacidad para conciliar y para reconciliar. Desearía contagiaros de interés y afecto por Pablo VI, alguien que tiene mucho que decir y por decir, pero a quien por desentendimiento, desidia, o turbias maniobras, se le ha sometido a un impresentable ostracismo y dejado en dique seco.
Max Scheler’s Ethical Personalism
Authors: De Vera Gilbert
Published: July 2021

Como sugiere el título, el presente artículo elabora el concepto de Max Scheler acerca del personalismo ético. la primera sección describe la relevancia de la fenomenología en la investigación filosófica de Scheler. Ilustra cómo utiliza el enfoque fenomenológico mediante el cual ejemplifica una nueva comprensión de lo emotivo a priori. Scheler está de acuerdo con la idea de que la intencionalidad sirve como una idea de las esencias, sin embargo, sostiene que la intencionalidad no puede ser puramente racional (Husserl). la fenomenología, para Scheler, es una técnica psíquica hacia la intuición emotiva.La segunda parte trata principalmente de la aplicación de la fenomenología de Scheler a su concepto de ética material o no formal. lleva a cabo una crítica demoledora por un lado del nominalismo axiológico, para el cual los valores son simplemente hechos empíricos, y por otro lado del formalismo ético (Kant). Según Scheler, los valores son los fundamentos a priori de la emoción, los objetos intencionales del sentimiento. las “inclinaciones” (emociones, sentimientos, sentimientos) son importantes en la evaluación de la experiencia moral. Desde la teoría objetiva de los valores, scheler pasa ahora al análisis de su fenomenología distintiva de la persona (la única portadora de valores). Contra la interpretación positivista, naturalista y biológica impuesta a la persona, Scheler define a la persona como “la unidad concreta de los actos”, que en sí misma no es objetiva; la persona se revela en sus acciones. sostiene que una persona no solo es racionalidad y voluntad, sino también corazón. Por último, concluye que una persona es esencialmente espiritual, es decir, tiene la capacidad de separar la esencia y la existencia (ideación) y, como ser espiritual, tiene acceso a la realidad espiritual y, por lo tanto, puede plantear la idea de Dios.
Edith Stein
Authors: Ibarra Orlando
Published: July 2021

El amor a la sabiduría, la inmensa búsqueda de la verdad y el testimonio cruento de una vida apasionada por la humanidad evidencian, en Edith Stein, la santidad de una mujer que, en medio de la nada y el sinsentido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, encarnó uno de los gritos del crucificado en el Gólgota del siglo XX. El presente artículo se desarrolla en tres partes: contexto histórico de Edith Stein, aproximación a su legado espiritual y propuesta contemporánea. Además, busca dar a conocer, en el contexto latinoamericano y colombiano, marcado por la violencia y el pesimismo, la intrepidez de una mujer capaz de mantener encendida la llama de la fe, en los reveses de la historia.

Catecismo Castellano - Cakchikel
Authors: Resines Llorente Luis
Published: July 2021

En el presente artículo se ofrece al lector un desconocido catecismo bilingüe, castellano y cachiquel, lengua propia de Guatemala. En realidad se trata de un impreso que contiene un catecismo, junto con un ritual para el viático y el matrimonio. El impreso hay que situarlo en el siglo XVIII, escrito por un autor desconocido, quizá franciscano. El catecismo tiene un notable desorden, y además está incompleto, pues prácticamente no aborda los mandamientos; quizá este cometido se reserva para el confessionario que le complementa, también bilingüe. A pesar de sus fallos, puede haber constituido un modelo para llevar a cabo la evangelización en Guatemala, siguiendo la norma ya iniciada dos siglos antes por el obispo Francisco Marroquín en el siglo XVI.Catecismo Castellano - Cakchikel
Elogio del silencio
Authors: Montes Peral Luis Ángel
Published: July 2021

Algunos hablan mal del silencio, más por desconocimiento de su valor existencial que por haber hecho una reflexión seria sobre el tema, haberlo asumido en su intimidad y vivenciado en lo concreción diaria. Pienso que el silencio, debidamente experimentado y orientado en la propia vida, constituye una de las grandes fuerzas existentes en el interior humano. Aunque parezca contradictorio, el silencio habla, en ocasiones más que la palabra. El auténtico silencio desemboca en las mayores revelaciones, que pueden proporcionar sentido al ser y quehacer de las personas, a sus ansias de verdad, bondad y belleza. No lo dudemos: la verdad, la bondad y la belleza más profundas, que no dejan de transparentar su misterio, pueden encontrarse reflejadas detrás del silencio más profundo. No tengamos miedo entonces al recogimiento interior, ya que puede mostrarnos tesoros insospechados y ofrecérnoslos con la sencillez que solo proporciona la serenidad, la paz del espíritu.
An Emotional Black Hole: Representations of Mental Illness in Television’s You’re the Worst
Authors: McMahon-Coleman Kimberley
Published: July 2021

Television comedy You’re the Worst (2014–19) traverses unusual territory by exploring mental health disorders in a sustained manner. Rather than introducing short-term and unpredictable characters to explore the impact of mental health disorders, two of the ensemble cast’s four lead characters have on-screen diagnoses of mental illness. Gretchen has clinical depression and Edgar, a veteran, has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The interplay of two characters with complex mental health conditions living in the one household is inarguably rare in popular television. This article explores the accuracy of these onscreen representations of episodic mental health challenges, as well as examining the responses of those around them as they try to understand and support these characters during periods when they are markedly unwell.
Alternative Treasures: The Fall of the House of Usher and The Terror within Roger Corman’s Poe Cycle
Authors: Thompson James
Published: July 2021

During the 1960s Roger Corman produced a series of adaptations based on the literature of Edgar Allan Poe, known commonly as his Poe cycle. They were B-films but they were also prestige pictures, flagship films for production company American International Pictures. This article argues that Corman embarked upon a renewal of Poe’s literary influence through creative mistranslation and examines two of Corman’s films. The Fall of the House of Usher (1960) signifies the “best” and “worst” of this series. The first of the cycle, it set a tone that was emulated by all the films to follow. The Terror (1963), a so-called honorary member of the cycle, has not had the deserved theoretical or critical attention, especially in studies of adaptation in the cinema and questions of translation, transmutation, and transfiguration. The Terror, in fact, might represent one of Corman’s most enduring contributions to filmic art.

Published: July 2021

Este estudo examina as expressões nominais definidas usadas para engendrar um certo tipo de imagem de Dilma Rousseff, na obra Dilmês: o idioma da mulher sapiens (ARAÚJO, 2016). Para esta tarefa, como marco teórico, além do aparato da Linguística Textual (KOCH, 2005a; 2005b) e da Linguística Cognitiva (LAKOFF & JOHNSON, 2002[1987]), lançamos mão da categoria analítica de gênero, tanto dentro da Linguística (SILVA, 2019a) quanto dentro das Ciências Sociais (SCOTT, 1995). Como metodologia, elegemos a Linguística de Corpus (SARDINHA, 2004) e, para manipulação dos dados, selecionamos o concordanciador AntConc (ANTHONY, 2020). Considerando os números do corpus e o arranjo sintático das ENDs, constituídas a partir do referente ‘dilmês’ (2º termo no rank de ocorrências), os resultados demonstram um empreendimento da imprensa na desqualificação da imagem de Dilma Rousseff. Neste esforço, satirizam seu discurso, a ponto de nomeá-lo ao introduzir o neologismo o dilmês no MCI DILMA ROUSSEFF; e atacam o seu jeito de ser mulher. Como disse o ex-presidente do Senado, Renan Calheiros, em áudios vazados pela Lava Jato em 2016: todos estão putos com ela.

Nous assistons  de plus en plus à l'émergence de certaines maladies, comme les fièvres hémorragiques virales (FHV). Certaines de ces maladies se transmettent de personne à personne par contact direct ou indirect avec des patients symptomatiques. Les vecteurs ou les réservoirs sont des moyens de transmission faciles pour ces fièvres hémorragiques virales. La fièvre de Lassa, a été révélée au Mali en 2009 chez l'homme. Depuis plusieurs études ont été menées sur les rongeurs avec une séroprévalence qui atteint parfois 50% au sud du Mali. Chez l'homme, la prévalence  allait de 14,5 à 44% et une incidence de 6,3%. Pour la Fièvre Hémorragique de Crimée Congo, les auteurs ont retrouvés une séroprévalence humaine de 4,5%. Chez les bovins, des traces sérologiques ont été retrouvées dans tout le pays allant de 15% à 95%. Le Mali a connue deux incursions séparées de la Maladie à virus Ebola à partir de la Guinée Conakry. Le diagnostic des 103 échantillons de cas suspects a été réalisé au Laboratoire SEREFO/UCRC avec 10 cas positif au virus Ebola. La dengue était présente avec une séroprévalence allant de 40% à 93%. Un cas humain de la Fièvre de la Vallée du Rift a été identifié au Mali en 2017, mais la maladie est présente chez les bovins surtout dans les régions septentrionales du pays. Le diagnostic a été réalisé surtout par la méthode ELISA (recherche d'IgG ou d'IgM). La biologie moléculaire  a été utilisée dans certains cas

Authors: Anggeliana Dhea , Alif Muhammad Gunawan , Pangaribuan Christian Haposan
Published: July 2021

Objective – This study explores the influence of product placement towards purchase intention while assessing the effectiveness of the ad determined by aspects of prominence, celebrity endorsement, modality, attitude towards movie and attitude towards brand.Methodology – This type of research was a quantitative method using associative research approach and measured by regression method. The distribution of questionnaires was a non-probability with simple random sampling. The survey was conducted to 184 respondents in Jakarta, Indonesia, in May 2019.Findings – The research found that modality does have a direct and significant effect on attitude towards the movie, attitude towards the brand, and purchase intention. We also find that celebrity endorsement has an impact on attitude towards the brand and purchase intention, not on attitude towards the movie. Prominence does not seem to have any relationship with all dependent variables.Novelty – Although research has investigated product/brand placement, we extend the literature by investigating modality, prominence, and celebrity endorsement.

Authors: Akinjayeju O  , Okoli HF  , Bello BF
Published: July 2021

This study investigated effects of varying proportions of “Garri”, soy cake and whole millet flours on proximate composition, physico-chemical properties and mineral profiles of their blends as potential material for preparation of functional dough meal. Blends were optimized for protein (10-20%) and fibre (3-5%), using Design Expert Version 6.0.8. and variables “garri” (56-65%), soy cake (13-24%) and whole millet (11-22%) flours, which generated 14 blends. 100% ‘garri’ flour and three blends with highest protein and fibre contents were evaluated for proximate composition, physico-chemical properties and mineral profiles including mineral safety index of selected minerals. Protein and fibre contents of blends increased with increased proportions of soy cake and millet flours. Protein contents of blends increased (15.55–15.83%), while carbohydrate reduced (73.73–74.06% significantly (p < 0.05), compared to 100% “garri” flour (2.11% and 92%), respectively. 100% “garri” flour had significantly (p < 0.05) higher values for most functional and pasting parameters, compared to the blends, but no significant (p > 0.05) difference among the blends for most pasting properties. Swelling index correlated positively with both carbohydrate content and water absorption (r = 0.60). There was significant (p < 0.05) difference between mean calculated and standard MSI values for all minerals, while sample GSM-1 had highest calculated MSI values for all minerals except Ca and Na. Varying proportions of “garri”, soy cake and millet flours significantly (p < 0.05) altered the proximate composition, functional properties and mineral profiles of the blends but did not significantly (p > 0.05) affect most pasting parameters.

Published: July 2021

Literature review is an important part within the content of any scientific study. It fulfills many purposes and objectives, including that it gives the researcher ideas about the most important variables that the previous studies have proven their importance or lack of importance in a specific field or ideological and cognitive direction. This study came with the aim of compiling the latest Arab and foreign theoretical studies, highlighting the process that researched the subject of artificial intelligence AI and the education of children, classifying, analyzing and commenting on their results in order to help students and researchers in the educational field to use it as a tool in their research. The current review study will help the researcher to see previous studies and to identify points of similarities and differences between the results of these studies, as well as giving an impression about the relationship between the studied variables, providing the researcher with information about the science that has been accomplished and which can be conducted and applied, and the necessary research topics. Further research and study are recommended in it to enrich the topics of artificial intelligence AI and the education of children, especially during the current period of transition to blended learning and online educational systems.
Leitmotivik in der Filmmusik
Authors: Albrecht Henning
Published: July 2021

The influence of film music on the perception and experience of the visual worlds shown in a film can hardly be overestimated. But how can this effect, which film musicals leitmotifs exerts on both visual attention and emotional experience during multimodal film reception, be researched? To what extent do they direct visual attention, influence the emotional evaluation of film scenes and physiological emotional responses?

In individual case studies of three film excerpts from commercial feature films, Henning Albrecht makes this complex interaction tangible and comprehensible in elaborate AOI analyses ("areas of interest") using modern eye-tracking methods.
Vom Salpetergeschäft zum Sammlerglück
Authors: Sitt Martina
Published: July 2021

Weitsichtiger Unternehmer, erfolgreicher Netzwerker und Inhaber der größten deutschen Privatsammlung Alter Meister im Kaiserreich vor 1890.

Der Hamburger Konsul Weber agierte international und vereinte in seiner Sammlung Kunstwerke aus aller Welt. Mit seinem Sammlungskonzept für die Alten Meister war er seiner Zeit um einiges voraus. Neben Rembrandts frühestem Gemälde und Werken von Holbein d. Ä. oder Mantegna erwarb er auch primär kunsthistorisch bedeutende Arbeiten. Sein Privatmuseum, von Martin Haller, dem Architekten des Hamburger Rathauses, nach neuesten Standards gebaut, machte Weber öffentlich zugänglich.

In dem Hamburger Kunsthallendirektor Alfred Lichtwark traf er aber auf einen hartnäckigen Gegenspieler, denn nach Webers Tod beschloss dieser zunächst: keine Sammlung für Hamburg. Doch der folgende spektakuläre Verkauf der Sammlung sprengte alle Erwartungen des internationalen Kunstbetriebs und wird hier von Martina Sitt so eindrücklich geschildert, dass man gerne dabei gewesen wäre.
Fliegende Worte - Sprechende Pfeile
Authors: Friese Heinz-Gerhard
Published: July 2021

Über die Strategien alter Schriftkulturen, Mündlichkeit in das Medium Schrift zu übertragen.

Die Schrift hat keine Stimme; sie hört nicht zu; sie antwortet auf keine Frage. Seit Beginn der Schrift-Geschichte wird versucht, in Texten das Erlebnis unmittelbarer Gegenwart mündlicher Kommunikation hervorzurufen, indem man die mündliche Rede als sogenannte direkte Rede fingiert. Gefühle werden geschrieben als »Oh« und »Ach«; ein Ich spricht mit einem Du, und das Du antwortet sofort. Die Worte scheinen keine Anhäufungen von Buchstaben mehr zu sein, sondern durch die Luft hin und her zu fliegen. Sie bekommen Federn, sagt Homer, wie Pfeile.

Friese untersucht solche Bausteine fiktiver Mündlichkeit und ihre Wirkung von den ältesten Beispielen wie den Schriftrollen zum ägyptischen Mundöffnungsritual bis zu Platons Dialog »Phaidros«. Diese Texte dienten, außer dem letztgenannten, auch zur Rückübertragung in die leibhaftige kollektive Mündlichkeit von Ritus, Erzählung, Gebet, Theater etc., anders als etwa ein moderner Roman. Die kulturellen und politischen Kontexte der Texte, von der ägyptischen Theokratie bis zur griechischen Demokratie, spielen deshalb eine maßgebliche Rolle.

Der Rhythmus liegt, geht man nach der landläufigen Bedeutung dieses bis heute wirkmächtigen antiken Begriffs, in der schönen Gestaltung, der gelungenen Formgebung, dem ästhetischen Schwung. Doch es gab in der langen Begriffsgeschichte immer auch andere, weniger auf das Ästhetische gerichtete Vorstellungen vom Rhythmus: Solche, die man heute eher unter Bezeichnungen wie Prozessualität, Achtsamkeit, Flow verbucht und mit einem Modus der Teilhabe und des Mitseins assoziieren kann. Die Wertschätzung für diesen lebensnäheren Rhythmus verbanden Dichter deutscher Sprache um 1900 wie Rainer Maria Rilke und Hugo von Hofmannsthal vor allem mit dem Fernen Osten. Rhythmische Erfahrung lässt sich daran anschließend als eine Art Achtsamkeit für den allen Veränderungen innewohnenden Fluss von Beziehungen verstehen. Diese »west-östliche« Rhythmus-Vorstellung erlaubt es nicht nur, die Begriffsgeschichte der Ästhetik um 1900 um einen bislang vernachlässigten Grundaspekt zu erweitern. Sie birgt außerdem ein hohes Potenzial für die heutige literatur- und kunstwissenschaftliche Theoriebildung zum Thema »Zeit und Darstellung«.

O presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar a implementação de recursos de Tecnologia Assistiva (TA) para uma aluna com Paralisia Cerebral (PC) na classe comum e sua aplicabilidade por meio do Desenho Universal (DU). O método de pesquisa utilizado seguiu os princípios da abordagem qualitativa, embasando-se no modelo de pesquisa colaborativa, cujos participantes foram uma professora da classe comum da educação infantil, uma agente educacional responsável em acompanhar a aluna com paralisia cerebral na classe comum, uma aluna com paralisia cerebral regularmente matriculada e os demais alunos da classe. A coleta de dados ocorreu na sala comum de uma turma da Educação Infantil e foi aplicado um Protocolo para observação sistemática por meio de filmagens da implementação/intervenção dos recursos de TA. Os dados obtidos mostraram que os recursos puderam ser utilizados para suprir as necessidades educacionais da aluna com PC, bem como contribuíram para melhor participação dos demais alunos. Concluiu-se que alguns recursos de TA ganharam caráter de universalização do acesso durante a realização das atividades favorecendo a participação de todos.
Representaciones visuales de la «Crisis de Refugiados»: Análisis sociohermenéutico de los textos visuales en tres diarios españoles
Authors: Muñoz Reyes Jessica Nohemí
Published: July 2021

En esta investigación se analizan las diversas representaciones visuales difundidas por los diarios ABC, El Mundo y El País a través de las fotografías publicadas de mayo de 2015 a mayo de 2016. Comenzando por un universo de 228 textos visuales, codificados en función de su descripción iconológica-iconográfica, se obtuvo un corpus de treinta imágenes, tras un proceso de selecciones sucesivas. Posteriormente, mediante un análisis sociohermenéutico, se identificó un sistema compuesto por cinco discursos: el discurso alarmista de la invasión a través de la masificación; el de la pena o compasión a través de la personificación, protección y el rescate; el incriminatorio a través de la criminalización; el de la inocencia a través de la niñez; y el de la espectacularización y exclusión a través de la difusión de la miseria. Además, analizando las interacciones y relaciones entre ellos, se constató que fueron principalmente dos discursos los predominantes durante el periodo analizado, ofreciendo una trasformación en la manera como fueron representados los refugiados. Favoreciendo la estigmatización de la otredad, bien legitimando el mensaje de «crisis incontrolable», bien señalándolos como sujetos indefensos y victimizados.
Análisis de la crítica especializada de cine y videojuegos desde la sociología cultural
Authors: Morales-Corral Enrique , Gayo-Santacecilia Javier
Published: July 2021

Este artículo pretende mostrar, a partir de un análisis comparativo desde la sociología cultural del efecto proyectivo tanto en el consumo de videojuegos como en el de cine a partir de la valoración de la crítica realizada en revistas especializadas de ambos sectores ya sea en papel u online. Para ello se profundiza en el análisis cuantitativo de los veinte productos con mayores ingresos de estas dos industrias culturales durante el pasado 2016, comparando elementos como los códigos de edad recomendados para ambos productos o géneros específicos. Entre los principales resultados podemos observar cómo hay una mayor o mejor valoración por parte de la crítica especializada acerca los videojuegos más vendidos, respecto a las películas con mayor recaudación de taquilla, y cómo hay diferencias significativas en las recomendaciones de edad para estos productos. En la industria cinematográfica solo cuatro películas españolas se han situado entre las veinte primeras, mientras que ningún videojuego español ha conseguido situarse entre los más vendidos. También es importante destacar el gran número de películas con una categoría apta para niños en esta clasificación, alcanzando dos de cada tres películas aptas para personas menores de doce años, ofreciendo así un panorama de más cine familiar frente a los videojuegos, más diversos respecto a este factor.
The Slippery Road From Actions on Objects to Functions and Variables
Authors: Paz Tamar , Leron Uri
Published: July 2021

Functions are all around us, disguised as actions on concrete objects. Composition of functions, too, is all around us, because these actions can be performed in succession, the output of one serving as the input for the next. In terms of Gray and Tall's (2001) “embodied objects” or Lakoff and Núñez's (2000) “mathematical idea analysis,” this “embodied scheme” of action on objects may serve as intuitive grounding for the function concept. However, as Gray, Tall, and their colleagues have shown, such embodied schemes can also lead to serious “epistemological obstacles” in later stages of concept development. In the same vein, our own data show that the intuitions about change and invariance entailed by the action-on-objects scheme, although helpful in earlier stages of learning functions, may later come to clash with the formal concepts of function and of composition of functions.
Research Commentary: Examining the Quality of Statistical Mathematics Education Research
Authors: Hill Heather C. , Shih Jeffrey C.
Published: July 2021

This “Research Commentary” addresses the quality of statistical research in mathematics education. To do so, we analyze 10 years of Journal for Research in Mathematics Education (JRME) articles based on criteria suggested by the American Educational Research Association, American Psychological Association, and National Council for Measurement in Education (AERA, APA, & NCME, 1999); the National Research Council (Shavelson & Towne, 2002); and the American Statistical Association (ASA, 2007). We find the majority of JRME articles lacking in one or more respects, and we highlight criteria for JRME authors, reviewers, and editors.

Implementation of Process Oriented Visual Planning Methods and Techniques
Authors: Cahill P. D. , Atkins E.
Published: July 2021

The Process Oriented Visual Planner (POV Planner) project combines commercial off the shelf visualization software (Navisworks®) with a resource constrained simulation based planning and forecasting tool (WorkSim®). The concept is being developed and prototyped at Todd Pacific Shipyards during the construction of 64 car ferries for Washington State Ferries. POV Planner allows the production planners to access and manipulate the product model without impacting the engineered design, extract information pertinent to planning, and perform both what-if analyses and process duration calculations while applying a variety of personnel and facilities resource constraints.
Designing Effective Machinery Control and Alarm Systems in the Age of Unattended Engine Rooms
Authors: Kemp S. G. , Arcy M. S.
Published: July 2021

Current design standards for shipboard machinery control and alarm systems for unattended engine rooms allow for centralization of alarm acknowledgment, regardless of ship size or complexity of the engine room. The authors suggest that guidelines and standards be revised to require local acknowledgment of alarms, and propose the use of light boards as the principal indicator of alarm activity rather than a PC screen.

Published: July 2021

The study of the environmental impact of underwater noise has become increasingly visible. Recently, underwater noise regulation has become an international concern. Therefore, the mitigation of underwater noise emission in operation is an important factor in the design of environmentally friendly ship and offshore structures. As a shipbuilding company, in order to meet the increasing demand for an eco-friendly vessel, Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. has developed a standard procedure to estimate underwater noise in the initial design phase. This procedure can be used both to design a low-noise vessel and also to evaluate environmental impact. In this paper, the procedure employed to estimate underwater noise is presented with results from full-scale measurements.

Tumor metastasis remains the main cause of breast cancer-related deaths, especially delayed breast cancer distant metastasis. The current study assessed the frequency of CD44-/CD24-breast cancer cells in 576 tissue specimens for associations with clinicopathological features and metastasis and investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms. The results indicated that higher frequency (≥19.5%) of CD44-/CD24-cells was associated with delayed postoperative breast cancer metastasis. Furthermore, CD44-/CD24-triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells spontaneously converted into CD44+/CD24-cancer stem cells (CSCs) with properties similar to CD44+/CD24-CSCs from primary human breast cancer cells and parental TNBC cells in terms of stemness marker expression, self-renewal, differentiation, tumorigenicity, and lung metastasis in vitro andin NOD/SCID mice. RNA sequencing identified several differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in newly converted CSCs andRHBDL2, one of the DEGs, expression was upregulated. More importantly,RHBDL2silencing inhibited the YAP1/USP31/NF-κB signaling and attenuated spontaneous CD44-/CD24-cell conversion into CSCs and their mammosphere formation. These findings suggest that the frequency of CD44-/CD24-tumor cells andRHBDL2may be valuable for prognosis of delayed breast cancer metastasis, particularly for TNBC.
