Aishī’sʿIshrat-nāma: aDah-nāmawith Unexpected Messengers
Authors: Beelaert Anna Livia
Published: July 2020

In the first part of this article I presented an edition with a short introduction of ʿAishī Shīrāzī’sʿIshrat-nāma, a poem belonging to thedah-nāmagenre. In this second part I discuss the messengers who convey the messengers between the two lovers. At the request of his patron, ʿInāyat, an amir of the Aq-Quyūnlū Khalīl b. Uzun Ḥasan, instead of the usual messenger, the wind, ʿAishī chose for ten musical instruments. I argue that the choice of these instruments, and the way they are decribed, are not accidental but subtly convey the evolution of the protagonists’ feelings.
Atypical Compound Verb Constructions in Hindi/Urdu
Authors: Drocco Andrea , Tiwari Neha
Published: July 2020

While a lot of research has already been done on defining compound verb constructions and understanding their semantic and pragmatic usages, there is still a gap when it comes to our understanding of atypical compound verb constructions where transitive polar verbs are paired with intransitive vector verbs and vice versa. In this paper we focus on atypical constructions with two intransitive vector verbs: jānā and baiṭhnā. We collate and review the different meanings that scholars have ascribed to these constructions and present our own analysis. We conclude that the main reason behind using an intransitive vector verb with a transitive polar verb is to reduce the transitivity of the action by implying reduced agency on the part of the Agent-like argument of the sentence. In addition to that, the use of an intransitive vector verb with a transitive polar verb also tells us which argument in the sentence is affected by the action from the point of view of the speaker. However, sometimes atypical constructions are also used by the speaker to express his/her shock or astonishment over a particular event, thus imposing his/her own ideas about agency, volitionality, and affectedness on the action being observed.
MF Husain’s Hindi AutobiographyEm. Ef. Husain kī kahānī apnī zubānī
Authors: Consolaro Alessandra
Published: July 2020

Drawing from Elizabeth Grosz’s notion of the body as a socio-cultural artefact and the exterior of the subject bodies as psychically constructed, and Rosi Braidotti’s concept of nomadic identities, in this article I introduce world-renowned Indian painter MF Husain’s verbal and visual autobiographyEm. Ef. Husen kī kahānī apnī zubānīas a series of sketches of a performative self, surfing the world in space and time. Bodies and spaces are envisioned as “assemblages or collections of parts” in constant movement, crossing borders and creating relationships with other selves and other spaces. People and places become a catalyst for manifestations of the self in art – MF Husain being foremost a painter – and eventually also in literature. I look for strategies that MF Husain uses in order to construct or deconstruct the self through crossings and linkages. I try to investigate how the self is performed inside and outside private and public spaces, how the complex (sometimes even contradictory) relationship between self and community is portrayed, and how this autobiography does articulate notions of (imagined) community/ies, nationalism, transnational subjectivity, nostalgia.
Ah Q Travels to Europe
Authors: Pesaro Nicoletta
Published: July 2020

This study focuses on the adaptations of the novella “The True Story of Ah Q” by the Chinese writer Lu Xun (1881-1936), produced by two important European playwrights, Christoph Hein (b. 1944) and Dario Fo (1926-2016), who ‘translated’ Lu Xun’s famous character respectively into a problematic nihilist (Die wahre Geschichte des Ah Q, 1983) and into a revolutionary Chinese Harlequin (La storia di Qu, 1989; 2011). These two plays appropriate the ‘hypotext’ into a new cultural geography, which is neither Chinese nor completely German or Italian, but rather a transcultural space based on the European intellectual tradition of the ‘anarchist’. In this case translation means a thorough transformation and change which allows Lu Xun’s work to ‘live on’ (Fortleben, as in Walter Benjamin’s theory).
Izayoi nikki. The History of a Disputed Heritage in the Kamakura Period (1185-1333)
Authors: Negri Carolina
Published: July 2020

This paper aims to cast fresh new light upon Izayoi nikki (The Diary of the Sixteenth Night Moon, c. 1280), the most representative work of Nun Abutsu. After considering why it has long been undervalued by Japanese scholars, this study takes a close look at the long and complicated legal dispute described in the diary. In this legal dispute, Nun Abutsu played a central role as loyal mother and widowed nun in struggling to ensure a future for her children, the natural descendants of a famous dynasty of poets. To fully understand the strength of the reasons behind her actions, it would seem to be of fundamental importance to read Izayoi nikki from a different perspective, taking into account not only the personal story of the author but also the socio-historical framework of the Kamakura period, focusing in particular on inheritance practices and the kinds of responsibilities women were expected to bear in relation to the family.
El sistema de protección a la infancia y adolescencia (re)pensado desde las Epistemologías del Sur
Authors: Maldonado Lozano Manuel Jesús , Gutierrez Zornoza Myriam , Yubero Jiménez Santiago
Published: July 2020

A partir de la propuesta de apertura disciplinar de las ciencias sociales, rompiendo con la compartimentalización del conocimiento de Wallerstein (2006) en este trabajo se realiza una aproximación al Sistema de Protección a la Infancia y Adolescencia español desde un enfoque crítico-constructivo cercano a las Epistemologías del Sur de Boaventura de Sousa Santos. Para este enfoque descolonial, el sur es una metáfora del sufrimiento humano, consecuencia del contexto socio político actual que se encuentra en su fase de globalización capitalista neoliberal, que propicia la emergencia de un fascismo societario que expulsa a los diferentes negando su existencia. En el caso que nos ocupa a través de un gobierno experto de las otras no familias, a partir del establecimiento de formas hegemónicas de crianza, fruto de un determinado sistema de valores y creencias, que subyugan, colonizan y dominan saberes profanos basados en la cotidianeidad y el sentido común adaptativo.

Сортовые особенности продуктивности клевера лугового в условиях Северо-Запада России
Authors: Спиридонов Анатолий Михайлович , Мазин Алексей Михайлович
Published: July 2020

В настоящее время недооцениваются возможности получения высокобелковых кормов за счет реализации биологического потенциала бобовых культур из-за низкого уровня агротехники. Кроме того, ощутимым препятствием для расширения посевов бобовых культур является нехватка семенного материала. Среди основных ресурсов интенсификации, управления продукционным процессом травостоев и повышения их урожайности являются сортовые семена. В условиях Северо-Запада России изучены особенности формирования урожая семян, зеленой и сухой массы новых районированных и перспективных сортов клевера лугового (Trifolium pratense L.) различного селекционного происхождения. В условиях Ленинградской области получено от 119 до 196 кг семян/га. Инокуляция семян повышала семенную продуктивность по максимуму до 335 кг/га (сорт Дымковский). В условиях Псковской области в 1-й год жизни травостои клевера сформировали урожайность зелёной массы от 12,2 до 21,0 т/га, сухой массы — от 2,9 до 4,8 т/га. При этом в среднем раннеспелые сорта оказались на 0,6 т сухой массы/га менее урожайны по сравнению с позднеспелыми. На основании полученных результатов разработаны практические рекомендации по использованию клевера на семенные и кормовые цели.

Authors: Анищенко Ирина Евгеньевна , Жигунов Олег Юрьевич
Published: July 2020

Представлены результаты многолетних интродукционных исследований 2 видов из рода Tanacetum L. — T. balsamita L. и T. balsamitoides Sch. Bip. Изучены особенности их сезонного ритма роста и развития, морфобиологические параметры в фазе цветения, а также проведена комплексная оценка успешности интродукции в условиях Башкирского Предуралья (северная лесостепь). Исследования выполнены на коллекционном экспозиционном участке пряно-ароматических растений Южно-Уральского ботанического сада-института УФИЦ РАН. Установлено, что изученные виды пижмы — длительно вегетирующие растения, по продолжительности цветения отнесены к группе длительно цветущих. Сроки наступления основных фенофаз у данных видов неодинаковы. T. balsamitoides вступает в фазу цветения в конце июня – начале июля, ежегодно образует полноценные семена. T. balsamitoides ввиду позднего цветения (начало цветения — начало – середина августа) в наших условиях семян образовать не успевает, уходит под снег в цветущем состоянии. По параметрам генеративной сферы T. balsamitoides превосходит T. balsamita, при этом последний вид отличается более мощным габитусом. Изученные 2 вида пижмы показали себя высокоустойчивыми растениями в условиях культуры в Башкирском Предуралье. Они перспективны и могут быть рекомендованы для культивирования в садах, парках, использования в ландшафтном дизайне.
Опыт получения 2 – 3 урожаев овощных культур и картофеля за один сезон в агроклиматических условиях Чувашии
Authors: Кириллов Николай Александрович
Published: July 2020

Описан опыт получения 2 – 3 урожаев сельскохозяйственных культур в агроклиматических условиях Чувашской Республики. Опыты проведены в течение 2016 – 2019 гг. Это стало возможным благодаря существенному потеплению климата, появлению раннеспелых сортов и гибридов, совершенствованию агротехнологических приемов возделывания овощных культур и картофеля. В течение вегетационного периода в 3 срока были высажены картофель, лук, чеснок и другие овощные и полевые культуры. При использовании раннеспелых сортов картофеля, яровизации и предпосадочной обработке клубней от колорадского жука, своевременных подкормках вегетирующих растений значительно сокращаются сроки созревания клубней и повышается урожайность, что позволяет реализовать продукцию по более высокой цене и получить прибыль. Кроме этого, необходимость дополнительных обработок почвы и занятость участка в течение всего вегетационного периода несколькими культурами предупреждает засоренность полей и пораженность почвы патогенными микроорганизмами.

The Imperfection of Hegelian Ontology
Authors: dai rongqing
Published: July 2020

At the core of
Hegelian ontology are pure nothing
and pure being, as well as the
instant becoming between them, which
were established through the quest for the beginning
of philosophy in his famous book Science of Logic. However, for the past
two centuries, that process of ontological construction by Hegel was not
carefully examined by scholars all over the world. By delving into some details
of Hegel’s discourse in his Science of Logic, this paper would identify one
critical logical defect in the process of that construction, which would
determine that the Hegelian logic would not be a rigorously self-consistent
logic system without presupposition as Hegel claimed.
Supplementary Figures to the article on Mortality by cause of death in Colombia: A local analysis using spatial econometrics (JGSY-D-17-00135R2; accepted for publication)
Authors: Spijker Jeroen , Recaño Joaquín , Martínez-Cabezas Sandra , Carioli Alessandra
Published: July 2020

Mapping the municipal results allows the identification of mortality hotspots in Colombia as well as contiguous areas with low levels of mortality (see Figure 3 for all-cause mortality and Figures S1-S7 in this document for the specific causes of death). As the general level of mortality is the product of different cause-specific trends, the overall pattern conceals many interesting panoramas, including territorial contrasts in the specific causes that we analysed. These are succinctly described in the article.
Multilevel Associations of Daily Skill Use and Effectiveness With Anxiety, Depression, and Stress in a Transdiagnostic Sample Undergoing Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training
Authors: Southward Matthew W. , Eberle Jeremy William , Neacsiu Andrada D.
Published: July 2020

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is effective at treating disorders of emotion dysregulation. However, it is unclear which mechanisms contribute to these effects. The aim of this study was to characterize the within-person associations of two theoretically relevant mechanisms of change, skill use and skill effectiveness, with anxiety, stress, and depression. Participants (n = 19, Mage = 31.8, 68% female) with a primary anxiety or depressive disorder completed daily reports (N = 1344) of DBT skill use, perceived effectiveness, anxiety, stress, and depression during a 16-session DBT skills training group. DBT skill use increased across treatment, p < .01, but effectiveness did not, p = .64. Within persons, participants used more skills on days with greater stress and anxiety, p < .01, which predicted next-day decreases in stress and anxiety, p = .03. On days when participants reported higher effectiveness, they used more skills than their personal average when experiencing more intense negative affect, p < .01. These results suggest using more skills, especially when used more effectively, is a mechanism by which DBT skills groups address emotional dysfunction for those with transdiagnostic emotional disorders.
Moral Migration: Desires to Become More Empathic Predict Changes in Moral Foundations
Authors: Hannikainen Ivar Rodríguez , Hudson Nathan W. , Chopik William J. , Briley D. A. , Derringer Jaime
Published: July 2020

Many people want to change their personality traits—and research on volitional change has documented their success in doing so. In the present study, we examine whether people also wish to change their levels of empathy, and whether these desires precede shifts in dispositional empathy and morality over a 15-week period. We recorded participants’ change goals, followed by weekly measurements of empathic concern and perspective-taking, as well as moral foundations. Results indicated that most participants wished to cultivate empathic concern and, especially, perspective-taking. Those who sought to develop these qualities tended to actually do so at a faster rate than their peers who did not—and, as a consequence, also drifted toward a characteristically liberal, individualizing morality.
School Counselor Advocacy for Transgender and Intersex Students
Authors: Simons Jack
Published: July 2020

One-thousand-one-hundred-and-ninety-one school counselors completed an online survey regarding advocacy for and with transgender and intersex (TI) students (i.e., school counselor TI advocacy competence). School counselors completed three competency-based assessments to assess their levels of gender identity counselor competence, intersex counselor competence, and school counselor TI advocacy competence. Further, in light of Identity Behavior Theory, they completed a demographic form so that competency levels could be examined with demographic variables. Attitudes, school level, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity counselor competence, and intersex counselor competence were significantly related to advocacy for and with TI students. These findings have implications for training practices and future research with school counselors and genderqueer students whose experiences vary from those of TI students.

Air temperature and precipitation regime in Ukraine in 2021-2050 by CORDEX model ensemble
Authors: Zamfirova M. S. , Khokhlov V. M.
Published: July 2020

Global temperatures over the period of 2081–2100 are expected to rise by 0.3–4.8 °C compared to the period of 1986–2005. According to the previous studies, the average annual air temperature in all regions of Ukraine will keep increasing in the near future and the maximum increase in precipitation is expected mainly in the western and northern regions during winter and spring, whereas the decrease in precipitation will be registered in the central, eastern and southern regions during summer and autumn. This article aims to identify the features of changes in air temperature and precipitation for different regions of Ukraine in 2021–2050 based on the modelling results of the ensemble of CORDEX models as per the RCP4.5 scenario. 16 simulation runs for 7 regional climate models were selected for the analysis and the results were presented for five regional centers of Ukraine: Kyiv, Lviv, Kropyvnytskyi, Kharkiv and Odesa.

It is shown that future monthly precipitation in all regions tends to increase by an average of 20–40 mm during autumn, winter and spring, whereas the decrease is expected to occur in summer. According to some models, the monthly precipitation will be close to zero in the Southern Ukraine in July and August, which is typical for the Mediterranean climate. Compared to the period of 1961–1990, the average monthly temperature will undergo small changes (up to 1 °C) in spring and autumn, while the temperature in summer and winter will increase by 2.5–3.5 °C. In Odesa, in contrast to the present-day situation, a positive average monthly air temperature will be expected to be recorded throughout the whole year, and only 25% of the runs show negative average monthly minimum temperatures. In the Northern Ukraine, the average monthly minimum and maximum temperatures in winter will increase by 2.0–2.5 °C, and in summer only the maximum air temperature will increase significantly.

Thus, we can assume a change in the regime of moisture supply in Ukraine over the next thirty years. One can also assume a high probability of snow cover absence throughout the whole winter in the Southern Ukraine as a result of positive temperatures.
Morphological features of oat (Avena Sativa L.) shoots formation in the southern part of Ukraine
Authors: Ilina A. A.
Published: July 2020

Oats is essential for agricultural production and processing industry due to the unique biochemical composition of its grain. Thus, it is very important to study the biological and morphometric features of oats. The length and area of the plant's organs can establish a degree of comfort of growing conditions and determine during which period of plant's life the external weather conditions changed. Phytomers are basic repetitive functional units of the oat shoot. This paper presents the description and parameters of development of oat shoot metamers, namely, the identification of growth patterns of terrestrial vegetative metamers of oat shoots and their parts. The experiments were conducted in 2013, 2014 and 2018. The weather conditions of the specified years varied greatly – 2013 and 2014 were the most favorable in terms of humidification and precipitation, while 2018 was a very dry one. The paper determines the absolute and relative growth rates of the oat shoot internode paper and the maximum growth rate of each metamer in the linear phase. According to our observations, the absolute growth rate of oats was negligible and increased from 0.01 to 0.5 mm/d when the air temperature varied from 15 °C to 20 °C. However, when the air temperature reached about 20 °C, the absolute growth rate increased from 0.5 mm/d to almost 2 mm/d. We also found the effective sum temperatures under which the beginning and the end of the growth of each internodes take place. Thus, the first internode starts to grow the effective temperature sum of up to 117 °C is with the accumulated while the panicle starts growing when the effective temperature sum of up to 668 °C is accumulated. The growth of both the seventh internode and the panicle stops at the same time when the effective temperature sum of up to 1173 °C is accumulated. The ontogeny of oat shoots has a regular sequence of growth and development of terrestrial vegetative shoot metamers and their parts. The average growth duration of oat stem internode duting the years of research constituted 9 days for the first internode, 30 days for the seventh internode and 26 days for the panicle .

Coronary heart disease is a disease that often causes human death, occurs when there is atherosclerosis blocking blood flow to the heart muscle in the coronary arteries. The doctor's referral method for diagnosing coronary heart disease is coronary angiography, but it is invasive, high risk and expensive. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of implementing the k-Fold Cross Validation (CV) dataset on the rule-based feature selection to diagnose coronary heart disease, using the Cleveland heart disease dataset. The research conducted a feature selection using a medical expert-based (MFS) and computer-based method, namely the Variable Precision Rough Set (VPRS), which is the development of the Rough Set theory. Evaluation of classification performance using the k-Fold method of 10-Fold, 5-Fold and 3-Fold. The results of the study are the number of attributes of the feature selection results are different in each Fold, both for the VPRS and MFS methods, for accuracy values obtained from the average accuracy resulting from 10-Fold, 5-Fold and 3-Fold. The result was the highest accuracy value in the VPRS method 76.34% with k = 5, while the MTF accuracy was 71.281% with k = 3. So, the k-fold implementation for this case is less effective, because the division of data is still structured, according to the order of records that apply in each fold, while the amount of testing data is too small and too structured. This affects the results of the accuracy because the testing rules are not thoroughly represented

Image tampering is one part of the field of image editing or manipulation that changes certain parts of the graphic content of a given image. There are several techniques commonly used for image tampering, such as splicing, copy-move, retouching, etc. Splicing is a type of image tampering technique that combines two different images, replacing particular objects, skewing, rotation, etc. This study applies the splicing technique to image tampering using morphological operations.  Morphology is a collection of image processing operations that process images based on their shape. The aim of this study is to replace particular objects in an original image with other objects that are similar to another selected image.  In this study, we try to replace the ball object in the original image with another ball object from another image

Study of the well near-bottomhole zone permeability during treatment by process fluids
Authors: ROGOV Evgenii
Published: July 2020

In the process of drilling-in productive horizons, several irreversible physical and chemical processes take place in the near-wellbore zone of the formation: stress state of the rocks changes, penetration of the filtrate and solid phase, as well as drilling mud into the reservoir, and swelling of clay particles of intergranular cementing material are observed. As a result, permeability of productive horizon is significantly reduced and, consequently, potential inflow of oil or gas from formation is excluded. An equally serious problem exists during well servicing and workover, when the use of irrational fluids of well killing causes negative consequences associated with deterioration of reservoir properties of formations in the wells being repaired. Article presents the results of the experiments on permeability of clayed porous samples after exposure to various compositions of liquids. In order to increase permeability of near-borehole zone of the formation and increase productivity of wells completed by drilling, and after well servicing and workover, a composition of the process fluid containing a 15 % aqueous solution of oxyethylene diphosphonic acid (OEDA) with addition of a surfactant is proposed.
Combining neurofeedback with source estimation: Evaluation of an sLORETA neurofeedback protocol for chronic tinnitus treatment
Authors: Güntensperger Dominik , Kleinjung Tobias , Neff Patrick , Thüring Christian , Meyer Martin
Published: July 2020

Background:

Alpha/delta neurofeedback has been shown to be a potential treatment option for chronic subjective tinnitus. Traditional neurofeedback approaches working with a handful of surface electrodes have been criticized, however, due to their low spatial specificity.

Objective:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate an innovative tomographic neurofeedback protocol that combines neural activity measured across the whole scalp with sLORETA source estimation.

Methods:

Forty-eight tinnitus patients participated in 15 neurofeedback training sessions as well as extensive pre, post, and follow-up testing. Patients were randomly assigned to either a tomographic (TONF) or a traditional electrode-based neurofeedback (NTNF) group. Main outcome measures of this study were defined as tinnitus-related distress measured with the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and Tinnitus Questionnaire (TQ), tinnitus loudness, and resting-state EEG activity in trained frequency bands.

Results:

For both groups a significant reduction of tinnitus-related distress and tinnitus loudness was found. While distress changes remained persistent irrespective of group, loudness levels returned to baseline in the follow-up period. No significant between-group differences between the 2 neurofeedback applications (TONF vs. NTNF) were found, which suggests a similar contribution to symptom improvement. The trained alpha/delta ratio increased significantly over the course of the training and remained stable in the follow-up period. This effect was found irrespective of group on both surface and source levels with no meaningful differences between the 2 groups.

Conclusions:

Our study shows that a tomographic alpha/delta protocol should be considered a promising addition to tinnitus treatment but that more individually specific neurofeedback protocols should be developed.

Published: July 2020

Standard pencahayan pada suatu ruangan memiliki perbedaan berdasarkan aktifitas yang dilakukan pengguna. Ruang kuliah non-konvensional dengan penggunaan tambahan alat elektronik berupa proyektor ternyata membutuhkan desain pencahayaan khusus. Hal ini dikarenakan adanya sumber cahaya tambahan dari proyektor, sehingga dibutuhkan penyesuaian terhadap sumber cahaya alami maupun buatan serta material permukaan sekitar agar tercapai tingkat kenyamanan visual pengguna. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen dengan tujuan untuk megevaluasi kenyamanan visual yang terjadi pada ruang kuliah yang menggunakan proyektor. Evaluasi dilakukan dengan pengukuran langsung nilai iluminasi yang terjadi pada ruangan serta kuesioner yang dibagikan langsung pada responden sebagai pengguna tetap ruang. Pengukuran dan pengisiian kuesioner dilakukan pada 3 kondisi pencahayaan yang berbeda yaitu 100% pencahayaan alami, 100% pencahayaan buatan dan 50%-50% alami-buatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 39% pengguna merasa nyaman pada kondisi1 yaitu ruangan dengan pencahayaan alami 100% untuk aktifitas belajar. Namun untuk atifitas proses pengajaran dengan proyektor, 46% responden merasa lebih nyaman dengan kondisi 100% pencahayaan buatan.  Selain itu, diketahui adanya indikasi ketidaknyamanan visual karena adanya pantulan cahaya pada permukaan white board ke pengguna.

Going to public toilets is not an option but a necessity, while the design and amenities of public toilets at the Mall offered are more oriented to Western standards, with perspectives around luxury, meditation, health, and cleanliness, without the study of how the user community perceives toilets according to their culture. The phenomena of culture shock due to failure to adapt often results in misconduct. This study aims to find the phenomenon of misconduct in the use of public toilet facilities and their causes. Involving 318 random purpose informant samples of public toilet users in the six Palembang Mall, collecting data using questionnaires and interviews, the data were processed with a central tendency analysis for three variables. The results found maladjusment at seating toilet by 24.53% of users, 66.10% in the use of Jetspray, leaving the toilet without washing hands in washtafel 75.93% and not using the hand drayer 72.59%, caused by 45,15% of users are unfamiliar, avoid impure 31.63%, cleanliness 34.26%, and afraid of being dirty 23.22%.

Back Ground: Hemifacial spasm is one of movement disorder case that commonly found in daily clinical practice. Epidemiological data are very limited, the average prevalence is 11 per 100,000 population, 14.5 per 100,000 in women and 7.4 per 100,000 in men. In Germany, the estimated prevalence is 8000 to 9000 peoples.1 The incidence of women is more than that of men with a ratio of 2:1. Based on Yaltho and Jankovic study in 2011, out of 215 patients, the ratio of men to women was 1:1.8.2 One study in Indonesia also reported that most of the subjects were female (64.7%).3 Treatment with botulinum toxin injections is preferred to microvascular decompression surgery therapy, but this injection is only effective in a few months and quite expensive. This study is the first study to assess the effectiveness of dry needling on clinical improvement of hemifacial spasm compared to standard therapy of botulinum toxin injection.Methods: The study design was quasi experimental. Total of 24 subjects were divided into two groups. The first group underwent dry needling intervention while the other had botulinum injection. Clinical severity before and after treatment in both groups was assessed using Jankovic and HFS7 scores.Results: In dry needling group there were significant differences between Jankovic and HFS7 score at baseline and at week 1, 2, 3 and 4. While in botox group significant differences were also Jankovic and HFS7 score at baseline and at weeks 2 and 4. There were also a significant difference of Jankovic and HFS7 score when we compared dry needling group to botulinum toxin group.Conclusion: Dry needling can be an alternative treatment for hemifacial spasm, although clinical improvements based on Jankovic and HFS7 scores in dry needling group were not as effective as those with botulinum toxin injections.

El proyecto USAID Leer es una intervención de lectura y escritura en escuelas públicas de la República Dominicana en respuesta a sus bajos niveles de comprensión lectora. el objetivo del estudio fue determinar la eficacia del proyecto USAID Leer a través de dos estudios transversales (al iniciar el proyecto y en la mitad). Se realizó un estudio experimental con aleatorización de grupos (experimental vs. control) y una estimación del contrafactual basada en la evaluación de línea base. Participaron 2,399 alumnos de segundo grado para línea base, y 2,359 alumnos de cuarto grado para línea media. Se evaluaron comprensión lectora, habilidades precursoras a la misma (comprensión oral, conciencia fonológica, conocimiento de letras, lectura de palabras por minuto, lectura de pseudopalabras por minuto y fluidez), y habilidades cognitivas generales (memoria de trabajo de palabras y memoria de trabajo de pseudopalabras). Dentro de los resultados se destaca que no hubo diferencias entre los grupos durante la línea base. En la línea media, el grupo experimental obtuvo mejores puntuaciones que el grupo control en comprensión oral, conciencia fonológica, conocimiento de letras, lectura de palabras y pseudopalabras por minuto y memoria de trabajo de pseudopalabras. No hubo diferencias entre los grupos en fluidez ni en comprensión lectora. Se concluyó que la intervención fue efectiva, pero aún no ha alcanzado el umbral necesario para que sus efectos se reflejen más allá de las habilidades precursoras de la comprensión lectora. Los resultados se interpretan desde la teoría de la automatización lectora y la necesidad de mayor práctica lectora de los alumnos en proceso de alfabetización.

Authors: Hasbullah Mushaddad
Published: July 2020

Dewasa ini umat Islam berhadapan dengan pelbagai masalah fiqh semasa yang perlu diselesaikan, antara isu hangat yang hebat diperbincangkan adalah isu perkahwinan misyar. Justeru, penulisan ini akan cuba mengupas hakikat perkawninan misyar, sejarah dan sebab kemunculannya dan sejauh mana hubungannya dengan perkahwinan yang bertepatan dengan undang-undang Islam. Penulisan ini juga akan cuba mengulas mengenai perbezaan perkahwinan misyar dengan beberapa perkahwinan lain yang telahpun dijelaskan oleh ulama-ulama Islam mengenai pengharamannya seperti perkahwinan mut’ah dan perkahwinan al-Muhallil (cina buta). Ianya diharap sedikit sebanyak dapat menyelesaikan kekeliruan umat Islam terhadap perkahwinan ini sama ada ianya seiring dengan tuntutan undang-undang Islam atau sebaliknya.
Marguerite de Navarre et le mystère médiéval
Authors: Mazouer Charles
Published: July 2020

This article examines the relationship between Marguerite de Navarre’s biblical plays and the genre of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century medieval mystery play by focusing on three dramatic elements: staging, characters, and language. While, with respect to staging, Marguerite recaptures the structure of the mystery play, she takes less interest in the representation of the movements of the characters and in the realistic scenes, which were central to this medieval genre; as she reduces the dramatic events and their dynamics, she concedes little to the performance, privileging hearing over seeing. Regarding the characters, Marguerite also moves away from the conventions of the mystery play, according to which characters were endowed with familiar, concrete, human traits. Except for a few conspicuous cases, the queen of Navarre shows a preference for symbolic, abstract entities, or for human characters so disembodied that their faith or holiness takes them away from the human world and closer to the heavens. As for the language of her plays, Marguerite creates a poetic rhythm that almost depletes the life and suppleness of the dialogue. Thus the vivacity of the verbal exchanges is transcended to the advantage of other styles that are less suited to the genre of theater, with the exception of the sermon and spiritual lyricism. In conclusion, Marguerite, in her four biblical plays, undermines the medieval form of the mystery play, which, however, she also recaptures.
La place de La comédie des quatre femmes de Marguerite de Navarre (1542) dans le discours sur le célibat volontaire comme modèle de félicité de l'Arioste à Gabrielle Suchon
Authors: Dunn-Lardeau Brenda
Published: July 2020

In the Comedy for Four Women (1542), Marguerite de Navarre presents a dialogue among five female protagonists who express the delights and the torments that stem from the love of their suitors or husbands. This is true for all except the First Girl, who does not want to have anything to do with love or marriage. This article examines the special status of the character of the First Girl, an apparent forerunner of a new way of life for women. Specifically, it explores the potential for a sixteenth-century young woman to live a life without a suitor and, moreover, to proclaim that wilful celibacy is a source of genuine happiness rather than of the humiliating feeling of failure attached traditionally to a life outside of wedlock or religion. Moreover, in this play, Marguerite de Navarre makes a significant contribution to the idea of the dignity and happiness of wilful celibacy, while taking part in the Querelle des amies debate. Finally, this article gathers data on the historical and fictional characters that emerged before and after Marguerite’s Comedy, leading to the development of a positive view of the unmarried woman, which culminated in Gabrielle Suchon’s manifesto, Du célibat volontaire, in 1700. The data reflect a growing demographic trend, as well as a shift in the hierarchy of female values: chastity is no longer an end in itself, the supreme feminine virtue, but a means to the end of freedom and felicity.

Life-long production of blood from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is a process of strict modulation. Intrinsic and extrinsic signals govern fate options like self-renewal - a cardinal feature of HSCs. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) have an established role in embryonic hematopoiesis, but less is known about its functions in adulthood. Previously, SMAD-mediated BMP signaling has been proven dispensable for HSCs. However, the BMP Type II receptor (BMPR-II) is highly expressed in HSCs, leaving the possibility that BMPs function via alternative pathways. Here, we establish that BMP signaling is required for self-renewal of adult HSCs. Through conditional knockout we show that BMPR-II deficient HSCs have impaired self-renewal and regenerative capacity. BMPR-II deficient cells have reduced p38 activation, implying that non-SMAD pathways operate downstream of BMPs in HSCs. Indeed, a majority of primitive hematopoietic cells do not engage in SMAD-mediated responses downstream of BMPs in vivo. Furthermore, deficiency of BMPR-II results in increased expression of TJP1, a known regulator of self-renewal in other stem cells, and knockdown of TJP1 in primitive hematopoietic cells partly rescues the BMPR-II null phenotype. This suggests TJP1 may be a universal stem cell regulator. In conclusion, BMP signaling, in part mediated through TJP1, is required endogenously by adult HSCs to maintain self-renewal capacity and proper resilience of the hematopoietic system during regeneration.

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT, Osler-Weber-Rendu disease) is a rare multisystem vascular disorder causing chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, epistaxis, and severe anemia. Bevacizumab, an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor antibody, may be effective to treat bleeding in HHT. This international, multicenter, retrospective study evaluated the use of systemic bevacizumab to treat HHT-associated bleeding and anemia at 12 HHT treatment centers. Hemoglobin, epistaxis severity score, red cell units transfused, and intravenous iron infusions before and after treatment were evaluated using paired means testing and mixed-effects linear models. 238 HHT patients received bevacizumab for a median of 12 (range, 1-96) months. Compared with pretreatment, bevacizumab increased mean hemoglobin by 3.2 g/dL (95% CI, 2.9-3.5 g/dL) [mean hemoglobin 8.6 (8.5, 8.8) g/dL versus 11.8 (11.5, 12.1) g/dL, p
