OJEBETA “THE SELF AWAKENED” IN BUCHI EMECHETA’S THE SLAVE GIRL
Authors: B. Mary Stella Ran , Reddy R. Poli
Published: September 2020

The novel “The Slave Girl” by Buchi Emecheta exposes the plights of African women and portrayal of their struggle as slaves and ultimately how they come up the problem and becomes a self-awakened.  In this paper, one can see Ojebeta starting her life as a slave and finally becomes an owner of a house by passing so many phases of life as a slave. In the beginning, she is sold into domestic slavery by her own brother.  She has become the victim to her brother’s traits.  She has become a scapegoat to the plans of African patriarchy.  The intention of Buchi Emecheta is to recreate the image of women through feminism.   Emecheta’s fiction is blended with reality representing socio historical elements of the prevailing society and its environment besides questioning the pathetic conditions of the people in general and women in particular. One can observe the narration of innocence of childhood grown into adulthood by attaining certain amount of freedom with the Christian education which she has received with which she has attained a small degree of self-awareness.
RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF INTRACRANIAL AND INTRASPINAL SPACE OCCUPYING LESIONS AT A TERTIARY CARE CENTER- A FIVE YEAR STUDY
Authors: Patil Meena B. , Karandikar Manjiri N.
Published: September 2020

Background: Tumors of Central Nervous System constitute approximately 2% of all malignancies. Cancers of the central nervous system (CNS) are considered to be among the most notorious of all cancers. Low-grade cns tumors have been found over time to progress to high grade tumors. CNS is a common site for metastasis from other organs. Due to newer techniques used in radio diagnosis and stereotactic biopsies, more & more CNS tumors are being diagnosed & are being operated upon.

Aims and objectives: The objective of this article is to provide an overview of intracranial and intraspinal space occupying lesions at a single tertiary care referral center. The aim was to study incidence of various lesions in light of the   WHO classification of tumours of the central nervous system, 2016 and to study relevant statistics.

Material and methods: A total of 124 cases were received between January,2007 & December, 2011 at Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University Medical College and Hospital, Pune. Intraoperative diagnosis was desired in 70 cases. The final diagnoses in all the cases were made on Hematoxylin and Eosin stained slides of routinely processed tissue.

Results: Neoplastic lesions comprised 83.88 %, including metastatic tumors while 16.12 % were nonneoplastic.  A wide range of histopathological spectrum of CNS tumors was observed and was classified according to WHO classification of CNS tumors, 2016. The primary CNS tumors were graded from Grade I to IV according to WHO grading system, 2016. Astrocytic tumors constituted the largest category with 33 cases and most of the astrocytomas were grade II at the time of diagnosis. Incidence was more in females than males and maximum number of lesions were seen in fifth and sixth decades of life.

Conclusion: This study highlights the histological diversity of CNS tumors in both adults and children. The most common destructive but nonneoplastic lesions like, infections/abscesses, infarct and cysts can be diagnosed, by crush cytology and frozen section for the definitive management.

Published: September 2020

This study aimed to synthesize the scientific publication on retirement between 1991 and 2015. Analysis were done using the software Iramuteq to systematize papers extracted from Scopus database that included the word retirement (N = 18,362). Results have shown that North American and European countries are among the most productive. Health and economics are the most researched fields and are interconnected by a common interest in public policy. Relevant topics, such as retirement education, were absent from the main results. It is discussed that the number of publications is associated with national investment in research and development and has little relationship with the proportion of elderly individuals. A broader and interdisciplinary research agenda is recommended.

Published: September 2020

The study evaluated possible correlations between behavioral profiles, perceptions of quality of life and social support, and parenting practices adopted by 26 mothers of children and adolescents with ADHD, diagnosed by the same neurologist. The average age was 9.5 years, with participants from the 1st year of primary school to the first year of high school. Data showed that patterns characterized by negative practices are associated with a higher frequency of behavioral problems, and less indicators of adaptive functioning in caregivers. Negative parenting practices are also most often used by people with low social and family support indicators as well as quality of life. On the other hand, positive practices are associated with appropriate behaviors and improved adaptive functioning, social support and quality of life.

Published: September 2020

Flood is one of the most frequently occurring natural disasters in Indonesia. At the end of 2017, Tropical Cyclones Cempaka and Dahlia formed over the Indian Ocean, inducing extreme rains and floods in some parts of Java Island. The Special Region of Yogyakarta was among the most affected areas, especially along the Oyo River section in Imogiri District. This research was designed to identify and map the flood-prone areas in the district as part of flood mitigation measures. For this purpose, The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology was used to not only provide a detailed and up-to-date description but also produce aerial photographs (orthoimages) and Digital Elevation Model (DEM). These two products were inputted to the inundation modeling developed with a geomorphic approach and simulated in a Geographic Information System (GIS). In terms of accuracy, the resulting models were quite reliable for mapping on a detailed scale and only slightly deviated from the traced inundation in the field. Also, five areas (sub-village) were found with the highest vulnerability to floods, namely, Trukan, Butuh, Dogongan, Siluk Satu, and Kedung Miri.

The highest sea wave height conditions are in the northern season due to the geographical location of the southern Batam City sea-southern Lingga District sea in the Northern Hemisphere.
BATF2 and FOXJ1 are differentially expressed in coronavirus infections.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2020

Unraveling the host transcriptional response to viral infections is important for understanding host-pathogen interactions. We mined published microarray datasets (1-5) to identify conserved and specific differentially expressed genes in in vitro and in vivo models of coronavirus infections. We found significant transcriptional induction of the transcription factors BATF2 and FOXJ1 in Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus infection in human cells in vitro; BATF2 was also differentially expressed in the lungs of mice infected with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 1 (SARS-CoV-1) but not in human cells infected with the human coronavirus HCoV-229E. These data highlight specific host induction of transcription factors by different members of the coronavirus family.
Expanded carrier screening for monogenic diseases for Australians of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent
Authors: Easteal Simon , McWhirter Rebekah
Published: September 2020

Accounting for ancestral diversity is essential in medical genomics. For this reason, inclusion of Indigenous and other under-represented populations in genomic research is necessary to ensure equitable outcomes and access to precision medicine and disease prevention. Here we discuss this issue in the context of a national program of pre-conception expanded carrier screening (ECS) for recessive monogenic diseases, funded by the Australian Government as part of its Genomics Health Futures Mission. Current knowledge and research about monogenic diseases are mainly based on people with European ancestry and little is known about pathogenic DNA variants in people of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent. We argue that significant effort is required to build the evidence base and genomic reference data required before ECS can bring significant clinical benefit for many Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Australians. Research programs and creation of reference data are required to correct this bias. They are essential steps to achieving the Australian Government’s objectives and its commitment “to leveraging the benefits of genomics in the health system for all Australians”. They require culturally safe, community-led research and community engagement embedded within national health and medical genomics programs that ensure that new knowledge is integrated into medicine and health services in ways that address the cultural and health needs of Indigenous people. Until this occurs, Australians of European ancestry stand to benefit most and, as a consequence, Indigenous Australians and other minority groups in the Australian population are at risk of being, in relative terms, further disadvantaged.
Past and Present Design Practices and Uncertainty in Climate Projections are Challenges for Designing Infrastructure to Future Conditions
Authors: Underwood B. Shane , Mascaro Giuseppe , Chester Mikhail V. , Fraser Andrew , Lopez-Cantu Tania , Samaras Constantine
Published: September 2020

Designing infrastructure for a changing climate remains a major challenge for engineers. In popular discourse a narrative has emerged that infrastructures are likely undersigned for the future. Weather-related hazards are directly embedded in the infrastructure design process. Yet the codes and standards that engineers use for this risk analysis have been changing for decades, sometimes increasing and other times decreasing design values. Further complicating the issue is that climate projections show increasing or decreasing intensities depending on the hazard and region. Thus, it is not clear that infrastructure is universally underdesigned. Here, analyses are developed at both regional and national scales using precipitation and roadway drainage systems to answer this question. First, it is shown that modeling uncertainty can pose challenges for using future projections to update region-specific standards. Second, the results show that depending on the historical design conditions and the direction of projections, roadway drainage infrastructure may be designed appropriately in some regions while in others they are possibly underdesigned. Given these uncertainties, the authors believe that there is a need for alternative design paradigms, and these needs are discussed.
There is more to contextual cuing than meets the eye: Improving visual search without attentional guidance towards predictable target locations
Authors: Vadillo Miguel A. , Giménez-Fernández Tamara , Beesley Tom , Shanks David , Luque David
Published: September 2020

It is usually easier to find objects in a visual scene as we gain familiarity with it. Two decades of research on contextual cuing of visual search show that repeated exposure to a search display can facilitate the detection of targets that appear at predictable locations in that display. Typical accounts for this effect attribute an essential role to learned associations between the target and other stimuli in the search display. These associations improve visual search either by driving attention towards the usual location of the target or by facilitating its recognition. Contrary to this view, we show that a robust contextual cuing effect can also be observed when repeated search displays do not allow the location of the target to be predicted. These results suggest that, in addition to the mechanisms already explored by previous research, participants learn to ignore the locations usually occupied by distractors, which in turn facilitates the detection of targets even when they appear in unpredictable locations.
Collective Narcissism, In-Group Satisfaction, and Solidarity in the Face of COVID-19
Authors: Federico Christopher , Golec Agnieszka , Baran Tomasz
Published: September 2020

The present study explored the antecedents of solidarity amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Given that solidarity during mass emergencies involves the development of a social identity encompassing those facing a common fate, we examined how national in-group satisfaction (a belief that the national in-group and one’s membership in it are of high value) versus national collective narcissism (a belief that the national in-group is exceptional and entitled to privileged treatment, but not sufficiently recognized by others) predicted solidarity with those affected by the pandemic in Poland. The results of cross-sectional and dynamic analyses from a panel study on a representative sample of Polish adults indicate that in-group satisfaction predicted greater COVID-19 solidarity, whereas collective narcissism predicted reduced COVID-19 solidarity.
The relations among navigation, object analysis, and magnitude perception in children: Evidence for a network of Euclidean geometry
Authors: Ayzenberg Vladislav , Lourenco Stella F.
Published: September 2020

What is the relation between navigation and object analysis? Although researchers agree that such systems are, to some extent, dissociable, open questions remain about the potential interactions between them. Using an individual differences approach with young children (4-year-olds; N = 90), we examined the novel proposal that navigation and object analysis interact indirectly by way of magnitude perception. A system for magnitude perception may be ideally suited to support such interactions because it is present from early in development and is capable of discriminating geometric properties on the basis of spatial extent. Across two experiments, we tested for relations between children’s ability to reorient within an environment, analyze the geometric properties of object forms, and discriminate area. We found that area precision was correlated with both reorientation ability and geometric form analysis, though reorientation and form analysis did not correlate with one another. Importantly, we also found that the precision of children’s area discrimination supported an indirect link between their reorientation ability in a physical environment and visual analysis of object forms. Together, these results suggest a network for representing Euclidean geometry that includes both direct and indirect relations among navigation, object analysis, and magnitude perception. The potential role of magnitude perception within such a network is discussed.
U.S. Regional Disparities in Physical Distancing: Evaluating Racial and Socioeconomic Divides During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Zang Emma , West Jessica S. , Kim Nathan , Pao Christina
Published: September 2020

AbstractHealth varies by U.S. region of residence. Despite regional heterogeneity in the outbreak of COVID-19, regional differences in physical distancing behaviors over time are relatively unknown. This study examines regional variation in physical distancing trends during the COVID-19 pandemic and investigates variation by race and socioeconomic status (SES) within regions.Data from the 2015-2019 five-year American Community Survey were matched with anonymized location pings data from over 20 million mobile devices (SafeGraph, Inc.) at the Census block group level. We visually present trends in the stay-at-home proportion by Census region, race, and SES throughout 2020 and conduct regression analyses to statistically examine these patterns.From March to December, the stay-at-home proportion was highest in the Northeast (0.25 in March to 0.35 in December) and lowest in the South (0.24 to 0.30). Across all regions, the stay-at-home proportion was higher in block groups with a higher percentage of Blacks, as Blacks disproportionately live in urban areas where stay-at-home rates were higher (0.009 [CI: 0.008, 0.009]). In the South, West, and Midwest, higher-SES block groups stayed home at the lowest rates pre-pandemic; however, this trend reversed throughout March before converging in the months following. In the Northeast, lower-SES block groups stayed home at comparable rates to higher-SES block groups during the height of the pandemic but diverged in the months following. Differences in physical distancing behaviors exist across U.S. regions, with a pronounced Southern and rural disadvantage. Results can be used to guide reopening and COVID-19 mitigation plans.
Inter-cohort wealth development in Finland, 1987–2016
Authors: Karonen Esa , Niemelä Mikko
Published: September 2020

This article examines inter-cohort wealth development in Finland during the period 1987–2016. As previous research has stated that annual variation has increased over time, we aim toimprove previous research by focusing on gross, net, and financial wealth gaps betweencohorts. The opening of the Finnish financial markets and the introduction of new types ofinvestment instruments since the late 1980s created entirely new circumstances for businessand financial markets. We utilise the time series of the Official Statistics of Finland’s (OFS)Household Assets. We use the marginal effects method with a generalised linear model (GLM),and interaction terms. The results show that inter-cohort wealth inequality in gross- and netwealth has not increased over time, and all differences are attributed to within-year variations.As a new finding, financial wealth shows variations among three distinct investment groups,and higher investment interest can be associated with decreasing initial investment ages amongyounger cohorts. It seems that younger cohorts embraced new financial instruments much morein early age than did their older counterparts. Overall, the results show that financialderegulation considerably increased investment in financial assets among all cohort groups.

Published: September 2020

Many private and public actors are incentivized by big data technologies: digital tools underpinned by capabilities such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. While many shared value propositions exist about what these technologies afford, public facing concerns related to individual privacy, algorithm fairness, and access to insights require attention if the widespread use and subsequent value of these technologies are to be fully realized. Drawing from perspectives of data science, social science and technology acceptance, we present an interdisciplinary analysis that reveals the connections between these concerns and traditional research and development (R&D) activities of data collection, technology development and implementation. Given the behaviors associated with digital transformation opportunities, we suggest a reframing of the public-facing R&D ‘brand’ that responds to legitimate concerns related to individual privacy, fairness, and social equity. We offer as a case study Australian agriculture, which is currently undergoing such digitalisation and where concerns have been raised by landholders and the research community. With seemingly limitless possibilities, an updated account of responsible R&D in an increasing digitalized world may accelerate how we might realize benefits of big data and mitigate harmful social and environmental costs.

An in-depth study of the demographic situation in the city of Samara for the period 1990 to 2018 allows us to identify factors that affect the morbidity and mortality of the working-age population in the region, as well as to determine the current directions for improving and developing medical services.
RATIONAL ORDERING OF WORK ON THE PRODUCTION LINE IN THE PRESENCE OF EQUIPMENT CHANGEOVERS
Authors: Soshnikov A.V.
Published: September 2020

The method of rational ordering of work on the production line in the presence of equipment changeovers The problem of choosing a rational sequence of work in technological complexes with a consistent structure, widespread in various industries, is considered. The problem statement differs taking into account changeovers of the cars entering the line, at change of the performed works. A multicriteria model of the problem is proposed. The approach and specific methods of search of rational variants of ordering of works at their start on the line are offered. The approach is based on the use of the principles of systematic heuristics, which allow to generate a limited and manageable number of options, taking into account the production conditions, among which there are supposed to be rational (practically acceptable) options.
Conceit in weakest bodies strongest works
Authors: PINHO MIRIAM XIMENES
Published: September 2020

A interpretação, na clínica analítica, “deve ser poética”, diz Lacan ao poeta sino-francês François Cheng, quando do seminário L’insu que sait…. Muitos anos antes, em O desejo e sua interpretação, Lacan havia ressaltado o termo concetti, extraído de uma frase enigmática do fantasma dirigida ao príncipe Hamlet: Step between her and her fighting soul: Conceit in weakest bodies strongest works. Lacan reenvia o apelo do fantasma aos analistas, sugerindo, já naquela época, a poética como aquilo que bem poderia servir-nos para tocar esse espaço insondável do falasser entre ele e ele mesmo. Este trabalho investiga esses dois momentos, duplo canto do apelo à função poética na interpretação.

O encontro de Lacan com o nó borromeano
Authors: NOMINÉ BERNARD
Published: September 2020

Este texto é resultado do trabalho de duas conferências proferidas no Fórum do Campo Lacaniano de Fortaleza, em fevereiro de 2019, na ocasião de abertura dos seminários sobre topologia. No primeiro momento, Bernard Nominé falou sobre o encontro de Lacan com o nó borromeano e suas repercussões na psicanálise, apontando questões teóricas antes mal-entendidas que puderam ser reenlaçadas ao longo de sua prática. Depois, o autor se deteve à relação do nó borromeano com a escrita da clínica, lembrando-nos que nossas categorias de neurose, psicose e perversão muitas vezes não são suficientes para extrair a lógica de determinados casos. Assim, apresenta-se a necessidade de se conhecer o manejo da cadeia borromeana, suas principais falhas, consequências e reparações possíveis. Para tanto, é preciso ir adiante naquilo que o autor denomina de “solfejo do nó”.
