On the Same Wavelength as the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph
Authors: Ayres Thomas R.
Published: January 2022

The Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) is a powerful tool for high spectral resolution ultraviolet (UV; 1150–3200 Å) studies of bright cosmic sources. However, achieving the superb wavelength precision inherent in its UV echelle channels is hampered by subtle camera distortions that are not fully compensated for by the CALSTIS pipeline. The systematics arise from the low-order (n = 2) bivariate polynomial dispersion model employed in the echellegram processing. The formulation does remarkably well given its simplicity (only seven terms in the current implementation), but cannot account for apparent higher frequency undulations in the STIS spectral images. Previous correction schemes have built elaborate distortion maps, with up to thirty-six terms, operating on the individual echelle orders in the pipeline “x1d” file, prior to merging the orders. There is, however, a more straightforward, although partial, solution: a polynomial formula in the wavelength domain applied to the order-merged spectrum; just n = 3 for most of the STIS settings, although up to n = 5 for a few of the more recalcitrant ones.

Published: January 2022

The dataset providing information on the geographic distribution of Oxytropis species on the territory of Asian Russia is discussed. The data were extracted from different sources including prominent floras and check-lists, Red Data books, published research on congeneric species and authors’ field observations and mainly cover less-studied, remote regions of Russia. The dataset should be of value to applied, basic and theoretical plant biologists and ecologists interested in the Oxytropis species.

The dataset includes 5172 distribution records for 143 species and 15 subspecies of genus Oxytropis DC. (Fabaceae Lindl.) in Asian Russia. The dataset fills gaps in the distribution of locoweeds in the study area and contains precise coordinates for many of rare and endemic species.
Direct regularized reconstruction for the three-dimensional Calderón problem
Authors: Knudsen Kim , Rasmussen Aksel Kaastrup
Published: January 2022

Electrical Impedance Tomography gives rise to the severely ill-posed Calderón problem of determining the electrical conductivity distribution in a bounded domain from knowledge of the associated Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the governing equation. The uniqueness and stability questions for the three-dimensional problem were largely answered in the affirmative in the 1980's using complex geometrical optics solutions, and this led further to a direct reconstruction method relying on a non-physical scattering transform. In this paper, the reconstruction problem is taken one step further towards practical applications by considering data contaminated by noise. Indeed, a regularization strategy for the three-dimensional Calderón problem is presented based on a suitable and explicit truncation of the scattering transform. This gives a certified, stable and direct reconstruction method that is robust to small perturbations of the data. Numerical tests on simulated noisy data illustrate the feasibility and regularizing effect of the method, and suggest that the numerical implementation performs better than predicted by theory.
Pseudo‐Bayesian updating
Authors: Zhao Chen
Published: January 2022

I propose an axiomatic framework for belief revision when new information is qualitative, of the form “event
A is at least as likely as event
B.” My decision maker need not have beliefs about the joint distribution of the signal she will receive and the payoff‐relevant states. I propose three axioms,
Exchangeability,
Stationarity, and
Reduction, to characterize the class of
pseudo‐Bayesian updating rules. The key axiom,
Exchangeability, requires that the order in which the information arrives does not matter if the different pieces of information neither reinforce nor contradict each other. I show that adding one more axiom,
Conservatism, which requires that the decision maker adjust her beliefs just enough to embrace new information, yields Kullback–Leibler minimization: The decision maker selects the posterior closest to her prior in terms of Kullback–Leibler divergence from the probability measures consistent with newly received information. I show that pseudo‐Bayesian agents are susceptible to recency bias, which may be mitigated by repetitive learning.
Trasformaciones demográficas, independencia residencial y vulnerabilidad en los hogares de los mayores en Barcelona
Authors: López-Villanueva Cristina , Rubiales Pérez Miguel , Pujadas-Rúbies Isabel
Published: January 2022

El envejecimiento de la población sitúa las formas de residencia de los mayores en un primer plano. En las dos últimas décadas los hogares de las personas de edad han protagonizado grandes transiciones. Las principales dinámicas reflejan una reducción del tamaño del hogar y un aumento de la independencia residencial que se manifiesta en una proporción creciente de mayores que comparten el hogar con su pareja o cónyuge o bien que residen en solitario; mientras que disminuye la proporción de personas que viven en hogares intergeneracionales.
Sin embargo -pese a la constatación de la independencia residencial a edades cada vez más avanzadas- la creciente presencia de personas que viven solas y con menos familiares o allegados en las grandes áreas urbanas puede incidir en un incremento de la situación de vulnerabilidad de los mayores. La condición de edad avanzada puede ir asociada a ciertas desventajas como la falta de ingresos, insuficientes condiciones de habitabilidad, limitaciones en la actividad cotidiana, afectaciones en el estado de salud, aislamiento o soledad.
El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar la evolución de los tipos de hogares en la vejez y estudiar la relación existente entre la tipología de hogares de los mayores y su papel en la incidencia de vulnerabilidad en la ciudad de Barcelona, para ello se realiza un análisis partir de tablas de contingencia y de la corrección mediante V de Cramer de los valores Ji cuadrado. El análisis se lleva a cabo para la explotación de los microdatos de la Encuesta Sociodemográfica de Barcelona realizada por el Ayuntamiento de Barcelona en 2017
Learning Behaviors and Cognitive Participation in Online-Offline Hybrid Learning Environment
Authors: Li Mengnan
Published: January 2022

Hybrid learning, which integrates online teaching and offline teaching, can promote the autonomous learning ability, cooperative learning ability, and personalized development of students. Whether online learning or offline learning, the learning quality hinges on the good learning behaviors and learning participation. The existing studies have paid little attention to the learning behaviors in various dimensions. As a result, there is no scientific criterion for quantifying students’ cognitive participation. This paper explores learning behaviors and cognitive participation in online-offline hybrid learning environment. Firstly, the authors provided the clustering algorithm and dimensionality reduction algorithm for learning behavior analysis under the hybrid learning environment. Then, the student cognitive participation was modeled, and the dynamic cognitive participation degree in each learning dimension was weighted through partial correlation analysis. The proposed model was proved effective through experiments.

Published: January 2022

Background: The remarkable efficacy of osimertinib in non‒small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with acquired T790M mutation has been widely documented in clinical trials and real-world practice. However, some patients show primary resistance to this drug. Even patients who initially show a favorable response have inconsistent clinical outcomes later. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify additional clinical predictive factors for osimertinib efficacy.Methods: A prospective cohort of patients with acquired T790M positive stage IV lung adenocarcinoma treated with osimertinib salvage therapy in Hallym University Medical Center were analyzed.Results: Sixty-one eligible patients were analyzed, including 38 (62%) women and 39 (64%) who never smoked. Their mean age was 63.3 years. The median follow-up after treatment with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) was 36.0 months (interquartile range, 24.7–50.2 months). The majority (n=45, 74%) of patients were deceased. Based on univariate analysis, low baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios (NLR), age ≥50 years, never-smoking history, stage IVA at osimertinib initiation, and prolonged response to previous TKIs (≥10 months) were associated with a significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS). Multivariate analysis showed that never-smoking status (hazard ratio [HR], 0.54; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.30–0.98; p=0.041) and a baseline NLR less than or equal to 3.5 (HR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.12–0.45; p<0.001) were independently associated with a prolonged PFS with osimertinib.Conclusion: Smoking history and high NLR were independent negative predictors of osimertinib PFS in patients with advanced NSCLC developing EGFR T790M resistance after the initial EGFR-TKI treatment.
On the subject of serial killer. Psychological assessment from the handwriting
Authors: Calderaro Monica
Published: January 2022

From research conducted since 2010, at the Chair of Forensic Psychopathology directed by prof. Vincenzo Mastronardi of the Sapienza University of Rome and in the context of the teaching of Psychography at the Masters in Criminology and in more scientific fields, the attention focus was addressed, on the research related to the psychographological examination on the subject of Serial Killer (subject of this article ), Sex Offenders, Stalker, Classic Mass Murder, Family Mass Murder, Mothers Figlicide and other criminal phenomenologies with the intent to highlight where existing, characteristics and graphological indices, similar to the various subjects responsible for the same type of crime and therefore possible 'patterns graphological 'to be highlighted as a symptomatic graphic imprint of a certain' behavioral model '. Proceeding with the graphological comparison, albeit between different personality structures, some peculiarities were found such as, for example, the signs that lead to the aggressiveness, a typical distinctive trait among others, of the Serial Assassins, including certain deficits in the affective-sexual area.Interesting what emerged from the aforementioned study. Considering that Psychography is an effective indicator of the personality structure, therefore representing an excellent tool for revealing the deepest dynamics of the individual both at an intrapsychic and interpersonal level, (without any diagnostic hypothesis), writing can be considered as indicated above, an imprint graphics of the "individual psychism" and the percentage of certainty is about 80%, where, however, there is no possibility of simulating or dissimulating, for a series of specific factors. Research in the field of Serial Killers has already oriented towards the tangible manifestation of aggressive instances, significant problems in the affective-sexual sphere, as well as a particularly accentuated narcissistic trait. Serial killings are personal in nature and the application of behavioral analysis by means of the psychographological reading key directs us to understand the deeper dynamics that triggered in the subject, thus also answering some famous questions of criminology such as, for example, why and what led him to commit such crimes.

Authors: Badali Silvia , Calderaro Monica
Published: January 2022

By the use of profiling and the analysis of the deviant behavioural conduct in general terms, the figure and the behaviour of the drug abuser is examined in his peculiar features as well. In this way a behavioural model reference could rise in those cases in which there is an addicted person or a presumed one. In this paper are also introduced the New Psychoactive Substances (NPS), new drugs that cause important psychological and psychical consequences on individuals who are used to consume them. Therefore, thanks to this focus on familiar, social, environmental and psychopathological causes of the drug abuser, we try to understand his possible relation with criminality and if some initial signals could be identified in order to allow us to recognize an addicted person, introducing in this regard another useful device, the psychographic examination. Finally, also new kind of addictions are here presented together with how they could widen this study, including the particular epidemic situation caused by Covid-19.

Authors: Cherian Kripa Elizabeth , Kapoor Nitin , Meeta Meeta , Paul Thomas Vizhalil
Published: January 2022

The last three decades have witnessed considerable progress in the field of bone densitometry. Osteoporosis may be diagnosed in postmenopausal women and in men aged 50 and older if the bone mineral density (BMD) T-scores of the lumbar spine, total hip, or femoral neck are −2.5 or less. For reporting T-scores, the Hologic dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanner uses the Caucasian (nonrace adjusted) female normative database for women and men of all ethnic groups although reference database used does have an impact on the categorization of BMD and must be chosen judiciously considering the regional and ethnic characteristics of the population. The quality control for DXA systems should be periodically done in accordance with manufacturer guidelines for DXA. Beyond conventional BMD assessment, DXA may also be utilized to assess the trabecular bone score, hip structural analysis, vertebral fractures, and body composition.

LE LIBERTINAGE ET LES JEUX DE POUVOIR DANS „LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES DE LACLOS“
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Melić Katarina
Published: January 2022

Nous explorons dans le roman de Choderlos de Laclos, Les Liaisons dangereuses, le libertinage dans la perspective d’une relation de compétition et d’enjeux de pouvoir. En premier lieu, en touchant à l’histoire du libertinage et à son évolution, nous essaierons d’éclairer le système du libertinage, ses principales règles et la question du libertinage féminin qui a été considéré comme un vrai danger pour la société. En revendiquant pour la femme la liberté et des droits identiques à ceux des hommes, il remet profondément en cause les bases de la société. En nous appuyant sur des notions définies par Greimas et Courtès (le savoir, le vouloir et le pouvoir), nous verrons que les actions de Valmont et de Mme de Merteuil représentent la lutte entre les deux sexes et visent à assurer la supériorité de l’un sur l’autre. La revendication de la liberté de la femme, exemplifiée par Mme de Merteuil, est vouée à l’échec car toutes les actions des femmes sont jugées par la société, idéologiquement masculine.
„SORRY“ DOESN’T SEEM TO BE THE HARDEST WORD: PRAGMATIC ADAPTATION OF ENGLISH SORRY IN SERBIAN
Authors:   University of Niš, Faculty of Philosophy, Mišić Ilić Biljana M.
Published: January 2022

The pragmatic approach to linguistic borrowing focuses on the use of loanwords and cultural, social, communicative and cognitive factors that affect it. In a qualitative corpus-based analysis, this article examines the anglicism sorry (and the orthographically adapted sori) in Serbian, following the theoretical framework of pragmatic, functional adaptation (Andersen 2014). In the process of functional adaptation, sori loses and changes some of the grammatical and illocutionary potential of English sorry, but also develops some new discourse functions in Serbian, primarily related to the discourse type, register and style, sociolinguistic characteristics and motivations of the speakers, and specific communicative nuances. Compared to Serbian izvini(te), as the most general pragmatic marker of the apology speech act, sori has not only a narrower range of pragmatic meaning but a more restricted use, limited to colloquial urban style and the medium of spoken language, social networks and tabloid media.
UBISTVO I SAMOUBISTVO U NAOPAKOJ BAJCI – „OLUJACI“ IVE ANDRIĆA
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Radovanović Đorđe R.
Published: January 2022

In this paper we analyze the poetics of suicide in Ivo Andrić’s story „Olujaci”. As the most obvious example of Andrić’s prose where many of different genres and discourses could be recognized (folk literature, Patonistic philosophy and aesthetics, anthropological views on incest and incest taboo), this story shows the ways in which one specifically modern (poeti- cal) phenomenon like suicide, makes difference and reveals the insufficiency of all these dis- courses. Even if we accept suicide as a possibility for achieving metaphysical satisfaction in the poetics of early modernism, we cannot see it in Andrić’s story because suicide is already annihilated as transcendence and reduced to its instinctive and subconscious forms. Without any possibility to make suicide aesthetically justified or symbolically transferred, the hero’s possession reflex becomes extremely traumatic leading him to crime and violence, destruction and self-destruction, murder and suicide.
Artificial wetlands and floating islands: Use of macrophytes
Authors: Vásquez Luis Alfredo Hernández , García Francisco Prieto , Méndez Judith Prieto , Lass-man Alejandro Alvarado , Sánchez Elena M. Otazo
Published: January 2022

Constructed wetlands, including floating islands, are a suitable technology for wastewater treatment. They are low cost and respectful with the environment, which is why they are significantly beneficial for agricultural irrigation systems. One of the limiting factors in structuring efficient constructed wetlands is the choice of plant species that can tolerate and eliminate contaminants. Macrophytes have an important role, since they allow their filtration, retention and absorption, among other processes. The objective of the work has been to show the diversity of emergent and aquatic species used for the treatment, highlighting species such as Typha latifolia, Typha doingness and Eichhornia crassipes, as species of constant use. In efficiency, they manage to eliminate nutrients and organic matter in excess, as well as toxic elements such as zinc, cadmium, lead, chromium, mercury, among others, in values between 15-95%. Some studies also address emerging pollutants, showing that wetlands successfully mitigate the presence of contamination by these micro-pollutants, eliminating paracetamol, ibuprofen, caffeine and antibiotics, among others, in values of 75-99%. Constructed wetlands are a frequent management practice for the mitigation of pollutants, the management of the biomass generated is an issue little explored and rarely considered. It is important to highlight several works where biomass is used to feed animals, such as fertilizers, to generate building blocks and production of bioenergy through biogas.

Objective: Comparison of dinoprostone, misoprostol and amniotomy in labor induction. Methods: The study group included a total of 437 women who underwent consecutive induction of labor after evaluation of the indication and Bishop’s score. The most common indications were: postmaturity, hypertensive disease, diabetes mellitus and fetal growth restriction. In 327 cases we chose to induce labor using vaginal tablets of dinoprostone at a dose of 0.75 mg, in 36 cases dinoprostone at a dose of 3 mg, in 16 cases we used a vaginal insert of misoprostol (200 μg), and in 58 cases amniotomy was performed. Results: In the subgroup of dinoprostone (0.75 mg) the rate of vaginal delivery (including extraction delivery) was 90.2%, in the subgroup of dinoprostone (3 mg) it was 91.6%, in the subgroup of misoprostol it was 100% and in the subgroup of amniotomy it was 93.1%. The time period between onset of labor induction and delivery was an average of 15.75 hours in the dinoprostone (0.75 mg) subgroup, 21.41 hours in the dinoprostone (3 mg) subgroup, 17.41 hours in the misoprostol subgroup and 7.49 hours in the amniotomy subgroup. Conclusion: Subgroup of patients with misoprostol showed the highest rate of vaginal delivery after labor induction. In the subgroup with amniotomy, the shortest time period between onset of induction and delivery was reached. Key words: Bishop score – induction of labor – predictive factors – nulliparity

Home and War
Authors: Glymph Thavolia
Published: January 2022

This chapter focuses on the flight of the South’s low-country slaveholding women and their subsequent lives as refugees. The making of a proslavery nation required keeping the white “home” intact, but Southern, white women were asked to shoulder responsibilities and losses for which they were ill prepared. Southern homes crumbled under the weight of battlefield losses, food shortages, growing dissatisfaction, and slave resistance. These burdens created a white, female refugee problem that, while numerically small, was not new to American warfare. The resulting disintegration of the material and ideological foundations of the plantation household profoundly changed the dynamics of Black and white lives in the South, gender dynamics across race and class, and the meaning of the home.
Cool Town
Authors: Hale Grace Elizabeth
Published: January 2022

In the summer of 1978, the B-52's conquered the New York underground. A year later, the band's self-titled debut album burst onto the Billboard charts, capturing the imagination of fans and music critics worldwide. The fact that the group had formed in the sleepy southern college town of Athens, Georgia, only increased the fascination. Soon, more Athens bands followed the B-52's into the vanguard of the new American music that would come to be known as "alternative," including R.E.M., who catapulted over the course of the 1980s to the top of the musical mainstream. As acts like the B-52's, R.E.M., and Pylon drew the eyes of New York tastemakers southward, they discovered in Athens an unexpected mecca of music, experimental art, DIY spirit, and progressive politics--a creative underground as vibrant as any to be found in the country's major cities.
In Athens in the eighties, if you were young and willing to live without much money, anything seemed possible. Cool Town reveals the passion, vitality, and enduring significance of a bohemian scene that became a model for others to follow. Grace Elizabeth Hale experienced the Athens scene as a student, small-business owner, and band member. Blending personal recollection with a historian's eye, she reconstructs the networks of bands, artists, and friends that drew on the things at hand to make a new art of the possible, transforming American culture along the way. In a story full of music and brimming with hope, Hale shows how an unlikely cast of characters in an unlikely place made a surprising and beautiful new world.
An Unlikely Bohemia
Authors: Hale Grace Elizabeth
Published: January 2022

The introduction places the reader in 1980s Athens, Georgia, where young Hale lived. The author shares some of her recollections of the music scene and her ideas about a changing South. People did not think of Athens as a special place, and it was often dismissed by outsiders due to regional stereotypes. Hale asks, what makes something or someone cool? What is the relationship between the scene and the mainstream? What constitutes “cultural politics?” What is “Bohemian,” and is it a useful term? Hale then provides a brief summary of bohemia before concluding that the Athens, Georgia scene was one of the earliest, most important, and most lasting sources of the bohemian diaspora.
New Town
Authors: Hale Grace Elizabeth
Published: January 2022

After the signing of many bands from Athens, the city was hardly a secret. Alternative music fans wanted to not only go to Athens but to UGA for college. With a constant churn of new people moving to town and new bands forming, the scene in the late eighties continued to expand and fragment. Many bohemians also got involved in local politics for the first time. In the second half of the 1980s, the place-based structure of alternative culture played a key role in propelling this new political engagement. In Athens, growing activism around the effort to save the old parts of town turned many scene participants into registered voters concerned about historic preservation, environmentalism, and homelessness. The growing level of political energy coincided with unprecedented levels of success for the Athens scene’s bands.
Hunting Divine
Authors: Hale Grace Elizabeth
Published: January 2022

The conclusion offers remarks on what happened to the Athens scene, Hale, and its bands in the 1990s. The success of some bands, including R.E.M., meant locals thought they had stopped being alternative acts. Athens also began to gentrify, and UGA became a much more selective school. The broader culture of Athens changed during these years due, in part, to the role played by bohemians. Athens became more liberal, more open to the LGBTQIA+ community, less white supremacist, and more generous in providing social services. Overall, Athens, and other scattered sites of indie America, played a mostly unacknowledged role in creating a new kind of place-based, cosmopolitan, and forward-looking American culture as well as a renewed interest in the local. Like America, Hale concludes, the Athens scene was a collective creation.
A Tale of Two Brothers
Authors: French John D.
Published: January 2022

This chapter uses the distinct trajectories of Lula and his brother Frei Chico to illustrate political and behavioral contrasts between the “good boy” and the “rebel.” It explores the elements of masculinity they shared and how they diverged as young working-class men in the 1960s. Unlike Lula, Frei Chico was interested in politics due to his father’s enthusiasm for Getúlio Vargas and he embraced a challenging apprenticeship in the class struggle as a union military that put him in contact with Communists. When the military seized power in a coup after March 31, 1964, they ousted reformist President Joāo Goulart which was followed by repression of labor organizing and strikes. Lula remained apolitical and apart from the struggle.
Children of Fear
Authors: French John D.
Published: January 2022

This chapter explores logic behind the unjust, illegal persecution and torture suffered by Frei Chico which was designed to punish, demoralize, and dissuade those foolhardy enough to rebel or be drawn to those who did. While documenting the impact on family, it explains why Lula himself was not targeted by DOI as was the non-Communist president of the São Caetano metalworkers’ union. How Lula acted exposes the logic of a quintessentially Brazilian exercise of the overbearing, abusive, and arrogant assertion of unquestionable power by authorities. After the October 1975 dragnet, non-leftist Brazilians would increasingly reject DOI-style anti-Communism as a threat to themselves and human rights.
Becoming Lula
Authors: French John D.
Published: January 2022

This chapter demonstrates that the essential elements of Lula’s discourse and leadership practice were present before the May 1978 strikes that made the union president famous. The November 1974 elections and their aftermath led the incoming administration of Ernesto Geisel to promise a slow, gradual, but secure political transition (abertura). It shows how Lula declared independence from Vidal and Frei Chico, assumed full command in the union, and crafted a bolder articulation of workers’ interests that placed them on the public agenda. Having faced fear and uncertainty head-on, Lula emerged as the intriguing personality with an enduring self-representation as free and independent: the fearless self-made-man, with no strings attached.

Space-Time Colonialism
Authors: Hu Pegues Juliana
Published: January 2022

As the enduring "last frontier," Alaska proves an indispensable context for examining the form and function of American colonialism, particularly in the shift from western continental expansion to global empire. In this richly theorized work, Juliana Hu Pegues evaluates four key historical periods in U.S.-Alaskan history: the Alaskan purchase, the Gold Rush, the emergence of salmon canneries, and the World War II era. In each, Hu Pegues recognizes colonial and racial entanglements between Alaska Native peoples and Asian immigrants. In the midst of this complex interplay, the American colonial project advanced by differentially racializing and gendering Indigenous and Asian peoples, constructing Asian immigrants as "out of place" and Alaska Natives as "out of time." Counter to this space-time colonialism, Native and Asian peoples created alternate modes of meaning and belonging through their literature, photography, political organizing, and sociality. Offering an intersectional approach to U.S. empire, Indigenous dispossession, and labor exploitation, Space-Time Colonialism makes clear that Alaska is essential to understanding both U.S. imperial expansion and the machinations of settler colonialism.
