Tracing the Earth: Narratives of Personal and Geological History in Charlotte Smith'sBeachy Head
Authors: Paterson Alexandra
Published: March 2019

This essay explores how Charlotte Smith transports lines and themes from her Elegiac Sonnets (1784–1800) to transform her narrative of personal history in her final poem, Beachy Head (1807). While her personal history is inextricably connected to her relationship with the land in both works, Beachy Head offers a version of her history that is embedded in a much wider context of the geological history of the landscape. This prompts a reflection on the telling and reading of histories that complicates and recasts Smith's representation of both herself and the land, as she recognizes both to be dynamic.
Margins and Modernity: A Geocritical Approach to Anna Seward's Llangollen Vale
Authors: Knezevich Ruth
Published: March 2019

The genre of annotated verse represents an under-explored form of transporting romanticism. In annotated, locodescriptive poems like those in Anna Seward's Llangollen Vale, readers are invited to read not only the spatiality of the landscapes depicted in the verse but also the landscape of the page itself. Seward's poems, with their focus on understanding geographical, political, and historical spaces both real and imaginary, provide geocritical insight into poetic productions of the early Romantic era. Likewise, geocriticism offers a fresh and useful – even necessary – analytic approach to such poems. I adopt Anna Seward as a case study in annotated verse and argue that attending to the materiality and paratextuality of her work allows us to access the complexities of her poetry and prose as well as her position within the wider framework of transporting Romanticism.
Exporting ‘The Cotter's Saturday Night’: Robert Burns, Scottish Romantic Nationalism and Colonial Settler Identity
Authors: Sharp Sarah
Published: March 2019

A Scottish literary icon of the nineteenth century, Burns's ‘The Cotter's Saturday Night’ was a key component of the cultural baggage carried by emigrant Scots seeking a new life abroad. The myth of the thrifty, humble and pious Scottish cottager is a recurrent figure in Scottish colonial writing whether that cottage is situated in the South African veld or the Otago bush. This article examines the way in which Burns's cotter informed the myth of the self-sufficient Scottish peasant in the poetry of John Barr and Thomas Pringle. It will argue that, just as ‘The Cotter’ could be used to reinforce a particular set of ideas about Scottish identity at home, Scottish settlers used Burns's poem to respond to and cement new identities abroad.

La Formulación de Caso en Supervisión Clínica: Proceso Colaborativo Apoyado por Mapas Conceptuales.
Authors: González Brignardello Marcela Paz
Published: March 2019

La práctica supervisada se encuentra en el ápice del proceso de formación y entrenamiento de los profesionales dedicados a la promoción del bienestar humano –en  sentido amplio-  y a la salud mental, de manera específica. En la práctica supervisada, los psicólogos noveles encuentran el apoyo del supervisor quien, además, debe asegurar los niveles de calidad del servicio prestado al paciente y al desarrollo de las competencias del supervisado. La capacidad de realizar formulaciones clínicas de casos es una de las competencias nucleares para el ejercicio de la práctica profesional. En concreto, la formulación clínica es el proceso de integración de la información obtenida a lo largo de las diferentes fases del proceso terapéutico y, a su vez, es el objeto de análisis sobre el cual el terapeuta y el supervisor realizarán el proceso de supervisión. Es en esta doble vertiente, de objeto y proceso, donde se hace necesario un método de representación gráfica sobre el cual se pueda representar y relacionar la información y, a la vez, negociar los significados correspondientes.Los mapas conceptuales son herramientas gráficas ampliamente utilizadas para organizar y representar el conocimiento. La elaboración de mapas promueve el proceso compartido de negociación de significados, y a la vez, facilita la expresión del conocimiento experto. Se propone aquí la utilización de los mapas conceptuales como herramienta idónea para la elaboración y representación gráfica de la formulación de casos y como herramienta colaborativa de amplia utilidad en el proceso de supervisión clínica.
Cómo Lidiar con la Ambivalencia en Psicoterapia: Un Modelo Conceptual para la Formulación de Caso
Authors: Oliveira João Tiago , Gonçalves Miguel M , Braga Cátia , Ribeiro António P
Published: March 2019

Se ha considerado que la ambivalencia ejerce un rol determinante en el proceso y en el resultado terapéutico. A lo largo del proceso los clientes suelen adoptar dos posiciones opuestas acerca del cambio. Por un lado, piensan en la necesidad de cambio, por el otro, la rechazan. Investigaciones empíricas precedentes han sugerido que la ambivalencia es un proceso común, tanto en casos de buen y mal resultado, sin embargo, cuando ésta no se resuelve, el proceso terapéutico tiende a fracasar. En este sentido, la comprensión de este fenómeno tiene el potencial de promover mejores resultados en la práctica clínica. En este artículo presentamos un marco conceptual transteórico que terapeutas de diferentes orientaciones pueden utilizar para conceptualizar la ambivalencia en psicoterapia. Específicamente discutimos: a) los movimientos a favor del cambio; b) los movimientos que en contra del cambio; c) los procesos involucrados en la resolución de la ambivalencia. Se utiliza un caso de psicoterapia para ilustrar nuestra propuesta y se sugiere un conjunto de guías para ayudar a los terapeutas a conceptualizar y a lidiar con uno de los procesos más asociado al fracaso terapéutico.

Entre Dos Mundos: el Self Encapsulado
Authors: O’Reilly-Knapp Marye
Published: March 2019

Este artículo explora la naturaleza del proceso esquizoide, en el que el retraimiento permite proteger al individuo del colapso psicológico. La persona que emplea las defensas esquizoides para sobrevivir teme vivir en una relación y se separa tanto de las experiencias que conforman el mundo externo como del self interior. Una vez atrapada entre sus conflictos externos e internos, es posible que la persona se retraiga en un encapsulamiento autístico - un método de protección primitivo - y afronte la vida en un estado de aislamiento, ambivalencia y confusión. Este artículo contempla el modo en que la condición esquizoide puede manifestarse como estados autísticos y disociativos e introduce un cuarto patrón del apego inseguro. Se utilizarán ejemplos de casos para ilustrar las experiencias fenomenológicas del mundo confinado y reservado del esquizoide y para identificar la forma de usar el contacto y los métodos de indagación, implicación y sintonía en una relación terapéutica intensiva.

Los Hilos Silentes: Trabajando con la Introyección
Authors: Mauriz Etxabe Amaia
Published: March 2019

La importancia e influencia psíquica de las figuras parentales y de las figuras esenciales de referencia en la formación de la persona es un fenómeno conocido popularmente, y constituye un desafío para la práctica de la psicoterapia y su efectividad duradera a lo largo del tiempo. Los fenómenos relacionados con la Introyección y sus efectos han sido estudiados desde diversas aproximaciones teóricas, tanto por su importancia en relación a los llamados mecanismos de defensa o mecanismos autoprotectores, como por el hecho clínicamente probado, que nos muestra que una psicoterapia, a menudo, no está definitivamente finalizada hasta que no se haya comprendido y abordado la influencia introyectada de dichas figuras. En este artículo abordamos la función psicológica que dicho fenómeno tiene como factor vincular y "estabilizante" para la persona, y tratamos de ofrecer una perspectiva desde la Psicoterapia Integrativa que nos invita a entender este fenómeno desde una mirada no patologizante y orientada a comprender su función psicológica en profundidad.
La Verdad Os Hará Libres: la Expresión de un Honesto "Adiós" Antes de la Muerte de un Ser Querido
Authors: Erskine Richard G.
Published: March 2019

Muchas personas sufren de duelo anticipado antes de la muerte de un ser querido. Este artículo se basa en la premisa de la Terapia Gestalt de que es necesario expresar un “hola” con contacto pleno antes de poder articular un "adiós" genuino. Se revisan algunas de las publicaciones de referencia, se define la premisa de "asuntos pendientes", se describe los beneficios terapéuticos de la fantasía, y se proporciona un ejemplo de caso utilizando el método de la "silla vacía". La psicoterapia que se describe en este artículo trata de crear una oportunidad para la expresión de sentimientos, para el contacto interpersonal, y "para revelar la verdad" antes de que la otra persona fallezca.
Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso como Tratamiento de Elección para el TOC: un Estudio de Caso
Authors: De la Torre-Luque Alejandro , Valero-Aguayo Luis
Published: March 2019

El trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo (TOC) es uno de los trastornos psiquiátricos con mayor resistencia a los tratamientos y que mayor sufrimiento causa. Por ello, se recomienda la opción combinada farmacológica y psicoterapéutica, en su abordaje. Sin embargo, estos tratamientos de elección aún mantienen tasas significativas de fracaso terapéutico. En este estudio se pretende analizar el efecto de un tratamiento basado en terapia de aceptación y compromiso (ACT), sobre la sintomatología del TOC y la satisfacción con las direcciones valiosas. Para ello, se presenta un estudio de un caso clínico con TOC. Se aplicó un tratamiento basado en ACT en 18 sesiones de terapia individual. Como resultados, se observaron reducciones en psicopatología propia del trastorno, ansiedad y sintomatología depresiva; se suprimió el tratamiento farmacológico; asimismo, se encontraron niveles mayores de satisfacción con respecto a sus direcciones valiosas. En conclusión, este estudio apunta a la aplicabilidad de la ACT como tratamiento de elección para el trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo.

THE VORTEX FORMATION IN A HORIZONTAL FINITE CYLINDER BY ALTERNATING ELECTRIC CURRENT
Authors: Buikis A.
Published: March 2019

We have investigated and calculated the distribution of electromagnetic fields and forces induced by a three‐ phase axially‐symmetric system of electric current with six electrodes in a cylinder of a finite length [1, 3]. In this paper the alternating current is fed to each of nine discrete circular conductors‐electrodes, which are placed on the internal wall of the cylinder. This new mathematical model describes a real device [7], which transforms electric energy into heat.

The viscous incompressible flow of weakly electroconductive liquid‐electrolyte is obtained by the finite‐difference method, using the monotonous vector finite difference schemes. The average axially‐symmetric motion of electrolyte and vortex distribution in a cylinder has been considered. The dependence of electromagnetic forces and velocity distribution at the inlet of the cylinder is investigated in the case of:

the vortex formation from the Lorentz force inside the cylinder by the electrode;

the vortex-breakdown from the swirl velocity at the inlet of the cylinder.

We have developed a method for analytical solving of the plane thermoelasticity problem in terms of stresses for a strip, which is infinite with respect to width. To derive the governing equations, we have used a method of direct integration of differential equilibrium and compatibility equations. Reducing the governing equations to the integral Volterra type equation of the second kind, we have solved it in Fourier transforms by applying a method of simple iteration.

Properties of Type-Ia Supernova Light Curves
Authors: Sukhbold Tuguldur
Published: March 2019

I show that the characteristic diffusion timescale and the gamma-ray escape timescale, of SN Ia ejecta, are related with each other through the time when the bolometric luminosity, L
bol, intersects with instantaneous radioactive decay luminosity, L

γ
, for the second time after the light-curve peak. Analytical arguments, numerical radiation-transport calculations, and observational tests show that L
bol generally intersects L

γ
at roughly 1.7 times the characteristic diffusion timescale of the ejecta. This relation implies that the gamma-ray escape timescale is typically 2.7 times the diffusion timescale, and also implies that the bolometric luminosity 15 days after the peak, L
bol(t
15), must be close to the instantaneous decay luminosity at that time, L

γ
(t
15). With the employed calculations and observations, the accuracy of L
bol = L

γ
at t = t
15 is found to be comparable to the simple version of “Arnett’s rule” (L
bol = L

γ
at t = t
peak). This relation aids the interpretation of SN Ia light curves and may also be applicable to general hydrogen-free explosion scenarios powered by other central engines.
Distinguishing Mergers and Disks in High-redshift Observations of Galaxy Kinematics

The majority of massive star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 2 have velocity gradients suggestive of rotation, in addition to large amounts of disordered motions. In this paper, we demonstrate that it is challenging to distinguish the regular rotation of a disk galaxy from the orbital motions of merging galaxies with seeing-limited data. However, the merger fractions at z ∼ 2 are likely too low for this to have a large effect on measurements of disk fractions. To determine how often mergers pass for disks, we look to galaxy formation simulations. We analyze ∼24,000 synthetic images and kinematic maps of 31 high-resolution simulations of isolated galaxies and mergers at z ∼ 2. We determine if the synthetic observations pass the criteria commonly used to identify disk galaxies and whether the results are consistent with their intrinsic dynamical states. Galaxies that are intrinsically mergers pass the disk criteria for anywhere from 0% to 100% of sightlines. The exact percentage depends strongly on the specific disk criteria adopted and weakly on the separation of the merging galaxies. Therefore, one cannot tell with certainty whether observations of an individual galaxy indicate a merger or a disk. To estimate the fraction of mergers passing as disks in current kinematics samples, we combine the probability that a merger will pass as a disk with theoretical merger fractions from a cosmological simulation. Taking the latter at face value, the observed disk fractions are overestimated by small amounts: at most by 5% at high stellar mass (1010–11
M
⊙) and 15% at low stellar mass (109–10
M
⊙).
On the clawed lobsters of the genus Nephropsis Wood-Mason, 1872 recently collected from deep-sea cruises off Taiwan and the South China Sea (Crustacea, Decapoda, Nephropidae)
Authors: Chang Su-Ching , Chan Tin-Yam
Published: March 2019

Recent deep-sea cruises using Taiwanese research vessels off Taiwan and in the South China Sea yielded seven species of the clawed lobster genus Nephropsis Wood-Mason, 1872. Four species are new records for Taiwan (Nephropsisacanthura Macpherson, 1990, N.holthuisi Macpherson, 1993, N.serrata Macpherson, 1993, and N.suhmi Bate, 1888) and three species are new records of Dongsha (under the jurisdiction of Taiwan) in the South China Sea (N.ensirostris Alcock, 1901, N.stewarti Wood-Mason, 1872, and N.suhmi). Altogether, five and four species of this genus are now known from Taiwan and Dongsha, respectively. The diagnostic characters and coloration are illustrated for most, if not all, of these species.
Caregivers' Perceptions Managing Functional Needs Among Older Adults Receiving Post-Acute Home Health Care

Published: March 2019

Caregivers play important roles in managing the physical functioning (PF) needs of older adults transitioning home after a hospitalization. Training and support of caregivers in the post-acute home health care (HHC) setting should incorporate caregivers' perspectives. To explore caregivers' experiences managing PF needs in the post-acute HHC setting, semi-structured telephone interviews of 20 caregivers were conducted. Conventional content analysis revealed patient-, caregiving task–, caregiver-, and home environment–related themes consistent with the Theory of Dependent Care. Caregivers highlighted the dynamics and contributors of PF needs for older patients in the post-acute HHC setting and depicted the enormity of caregiving tasks needed to manage older patients' PF needs. Caregivers also described their perceived roles and challenges in managing PF deficits, including a sense of isolation when they were the sole caregiver. Findings from this research can guide nursing efforts to target caregiver training and support during this critical care transition.

Groove inaccessibility, top groove powder impedance, irregular sidewall powder delivery and lack of sidewall vertical irradiation have been reported as major limitations for the use of Laser Additive Technology (LAT) for narrow rectangular crack repair applications. As a result, most reported repair attempts were concluded unsuccessful. In the present work, a multi-track laser re-melt technique was developed for the repair of narrow rectangular cracks of sizes 2 and 3 mm, both 5 mm deep on 7 mm thick Ti-6Al-4V plates. The laser re-melt technique was carried out at controlled laser power, focal length, spot size, powder feed rate, gas flow rate and scanning speed. The repaired substrates were evaluated for defects through optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The obtained results showed densely fused defect-free repaired substrates with good evolving microstructure.

Blended polymer composites are prepared based on linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and mixed with polysulfone (PSU) using solvent casting technique. LLDPE is functionalized with carbonyl functional groups to enable it to interact with PSU from the molecular level. Various weight percent of PSU is added into LLDPE to find the optimum weight percent ratio between LLDPE and PSU. The highest glass transition temperature obtained is 47.58°C for ratio LLDPE to PSU of 7:3. In addition, value for decomposition temperature is increased up to 490.16°C with the increasing of PSU content. SEM observation of the blended polymer films shows that glass transition and decomposition temperature depend on morphology of the blended polymers.

The aim of the research is to subject the three different silanes to chemical and electrochemical investigations in other to determine the most efficient organic compound. Three types of hydrophobic silanes [Tris (Trimethylsiloxy) silyethyl] dimethylchlorosilane (Alkyl); Tridecafloro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrooctyltrichlorosilane (FOTS) and Henicosyl-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrododecyltricholrosilane (FDDTS) are presented and investigated. The three silanes are of different composition but are deposited at the same parameters and conditions. The chemical investigation was studied through (attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) and x-ray diffraction (XRD), while the electrochemical study was conducted through EIS using natural seawater electrolyte at room temperature. From the investigation techniques, only electrochemical impedance results show that FDDTS performed better than both Alkyl and FOTS. The chemical analysis showed the presence of hydrophobic silane on all the coated samples, and no distinction can be drawn from associated peaks.

Deletion of CD8+ T cells by dendritic cells (DCs) is recognized as a critical mechanism of immune tolerance to self-antigens. Although DC-mediated peripheral deletion of autoreactive CD8+ T cells has been demonstrated using T cells reactive to model Ags, its role in shaping the naturally occurring polyclonal CD8+ T cell repertoire has not been defined. Using Batf3−/− mice lacking cross-presenting CD8α+ and CD103+ DCs (also known as type 1 conventional [cDC1]), we demonstrate that peripheral deletion of CD8+ T cells reactive to a model tissue Ag is dependent on cDC1. However, endogenous CD8+ T cells from the periphery of Batf3−/− mice do not exhibit heightened self-reactivity, and deep TCR sequencing of CD8+ T cells from Batf3−/− and Batf3+/+ mice reveals that cDC1 have a minimal impact on shaping the peripheral CD8+ T cell repertoire. Thus, although evident in reductionist systems, deletion of polyclonal self-specific CD8+ T cells by cDC1 plays a negligible role in enforcing tolerance to natural self-ligands.

Similar to bacteria, synthesis of mitochondrial DNA–encoded proteins requires an N-formylated methionine to initiate translation. Thus, the N-formylated methionine peptides originating from mitochondria should be recognized as danger signals. To date, only one such peptide, denoted as mitocryptide-2 (MCT-2), originating from the N-terminal of the mitochondrial cytochrome b, has been isolated from mammalian tissues. Human neutrophils express FPR1 and FPR2 that detect formyl peptides, and the precise structural determinants for receptor recognition remain to be elucidated. MCT-2 is known to activate neutrophils through FPR2 but not FPR1. The aim of this study was to elucidate the structural determinants of importance for receptor preference and human neutrophil activation in MCT-2 by generating a series of MCT-2 variants. We show that there is an absolute requirement for the N-formyl group and the side chain of Met1 at position 1 of MCT-2 but also the C terminus is of importance for MCT-2 activity. We also uncovered individual side chains that positively contribute to MCT-2 activity as well as those suppressed in the response. The MCT-2 peptide and its two polymorphic variants ([Thr7]MCT-2 and [Ser8]MCT-2) all activated neutrophils, but MCT-2 containing Ile7 and Asn8 was the most potent. We also show that some peptide variants displayed a biased FPR2-signaling property related to NADPH oxidase activation and β-arrestin recruitment, respectively. In conclusion, we disclose several critical elements in MCT-2 that are required for neutrophil activation and disclose structural insights into how FPR2 recognition of this mitochondrial DNA–derived peptide may increase our understanding of the role of FPR2 in aseptic inflammation.

In this work, stable isotope ratio (SIR) and rare earth elements (REEs) analyses, combined with multivariate data elaboration, were used to explore the possibility to authenticate European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) according to: i) production method (wild or farmed specimens); ii) geographical origin (Western, Central or Eastern Mediterranean Sea). The dataset under investigation included a total of 144 wild and farmed specimens coming from 17 different European areas located in the Mediterranean Sea basin. Samples were subjected to SIR analysis (carbon and nitrogen) and REEs analysis (lanthanum, europium, holmium, erbium, lutetium, and terbium). Then, Analytical data were handled by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and then by Orthogonal Partial Last Square Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA), to obtain functional classification models to qualitatively discriminate sea bass according to the conditions under study. OPLSDA models provided good correct classification rate both for production method and geographical origin. It was confirmed that chemometric elaboration of data obtained from SIR and REEs analyses can be a suitable tool for an accurate authentication of European sea bass.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a neurostimulatory technique used to modulate orbital frontal corticostriatal (OFC) activity and clinical symptomatology for psychiatric disorders involving OFC dysfunction. We examined the effectiveness of rTMS in the treatment of major depressive disorder in an applied clinical setting (Awakening KC CNI) to assess efficacy and optimize rTMS parameters within clinical practice. A retrospective review of medical records was carried out on patients with major depressive disorder undergoing rTMS therapy at Awakenings KC Clinical Neuroscience Institute (CNI), a suburban tertiary psychiatric clinic. A detailed de-identified data set of clinical outcomes was compiled. Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) total score, clinical remission rate and week achieved were evaluated over 6 weeks of treatment to assess clinical response referencing two different rTMS instruments (MagVenture; NeuroStar). Our survey included 247 participants from males (N=98) and females (N=149) with average baseline PHQ-9 scores of 21.7±4, classified as severe depression. Clinically rated remission rates of 72% were achieved in 3.1±1.0 weeks and associated with prior history of psychiatric hospitalization, suicide attempts and substance use disorder. Average baseline PHQ- 9 scores decreased significantly over time with proportionately greater remission rates achieved for patients treated using the MagVenture over NeuroStar instrument. rTMS in applied clinical practice is efficacious over a wide range of settings and patients. Clinical response was related to severity of depression symptoms (e.g., prior hospitalization; suicide attempts) validating efficacy in critically ill groups. Clinical response may be impacted by rTMS instru- ment, magnetic field parameters or individual factors.

Background: Pedicle screw fixation is one of the widely used procedures for instrumentation and stabilization of the thoracic and lumbar spine. It has the advantage of stabilizing all the three columns in single approach. Various assistive techniques are available to place the pedicle screws more accurately but at the expense of increased exposure to radiation, prolonged surgical duration, and cost. Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the accuracy and safety of pedicle screw fixation in the thoracolumbar spine using freehand surgical technique. Materials and Methods: We evaluated all patients who underwent pedicle screw fixation of the thoracolumbar spine for various ailments at our institute from January 2016 to December 2017 with postoperative computed tomography scan for placement accuracy. We used Gertzbein classification to grade pedicle breaches. Screw penetration more than 4 mm was taken as critical and those less than that were classified as noncritical. Results: A total of 256 screws inserted in T1–L5 vertebrae were included from 40 consecutive patients. Six screws were excluded according to selection criteria. The mean age was 39 years. Trauma (36 patients) was the common reason for which the pedicle screw fixation was done followed by degenerative disease (2 patients) and tumour (2 patients). A total of ten pedicle screw breaches (4%) were identified in eight patients. Among these, three critical breaches (1.2%) were occurred in two patients which required revision. The remaining seven breaches were noncritical and kept under close observation and follow-up. Conclusion: Pedicle screw had become the workhorse of posterior stabilization of the spine. Based on external anatomy and landmarks alone, freehand technique for pedicle screw fixation can be performed with acceptable safety and accuracy avoiding cumulative radiation exposure and prolonged operative time.
