What is Health Data?
Authors: Rehfeld Claus , Kreye Melanie E , Wendelboe Helena Goldstein , Holm-Larsen Tove
Published: April 2022

‘Health Data’ is a term that is used in many different contexts, but understandings of what it encompasses are at best vague. Without an agreed definition, effective law making, ethical discussions and the development of solutions that relate to Health Data are hindered, and decisions about how and when it can be utilized will be distorted and inconsistent, meaning that the potential value of this important resource for society will not be realized. This study contributes to the healthcare literature by offering an empirical characterization of Health Data, enabling a more rigorous and informed discussion through an exploration of its characteristics and how these can support the formulation of a definition which is functional at an interdisciplinary level. Qualitative interviews with 30 Danish stakeholders working with data and health indicate that a proper definition of Health Data should acknowledge a distinction between when the focus is on the source of the data and when it is on how data is used. Further, it needs to incorporate information relating both to clinical data involving patients and to a population’s health status and behaviors more generally. Lastly, it needs to encompass structural data, pertaining to the health system and to wider societal and environmental factors.
Cancer warriors sharing personal experiences
Authors: Nyakundi Augustus Onchari
Published: April 2022

Patients sharing their illness experiences can help members of the general population to adopt measures to prevent contracting similar diseases and also improve the treatment and management outcomes of those who are sick. In this study, experiences shared by cancer patients and survivors were used to establish the appropriateness of narratives in promoting cancer literacy, as well as in describing adherence to set policies on cancer treatment and management. Anchored on the Health Belief Model, this study analysed sampled Daily Nation newspaper articles sharing the experiences of cancer patients and survivors in Kenya. The data was analysed using content analysis and compared with guidelines in national policies on cancer and the Setting Perception Invitation or Information Knowledge Empathy Summarize or Strategize (SPIKES) protocol for breaking bad news. The key findings suggest that the narratives effectively captured critical aspects on cancer literacy including detection of symptoms, diagnosis, communication of results, palliative care and treatment and management. A lack of counselling before disclosing the results of cancer diagnosis and instances of absence of shared decision making in the treatment process indicated non-adherence to national policies on cancer treatment as well as the SPIKES protocol.
A comparative study of the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the communication practices of end-of-life care workers
Authors: Turnbull Margo , Wu Xiaoyan Ivy , Watson Bernadette
Published: April 2022

Previous research has identified that effective and high-quality communication between patients, families and professionals is a key contributing factor to end-of-life (EOL) care and recovery after bereavement. Increasingly, this communication work is being done by non-clinical staff in places such as homes and community settings. These additional care providers offer important pre- and post-bereavement support that can improve the quality of EOL care as well as promote healthy grieving for families, friends and communities. Despite this contribution, though, little is known about how these non-clinical workers use communication in their daily practices. This paper reports on the analysis of a set of nine in-depth interviews conducted in Hong Kong and in one region of Australia that examined in detail relational aspects of communication that shape interactions between non-clinical workers and service users. Data were collected during the COVID-19 health crisis, when the workers experienced exceptional restrictions on communication. The findings of this study highlight the fundamental importance of both verbal and non-verbal communication to the relationships established between non-clinical workers and service users. Specifically, greater support for the development of communication skills in non-clinical EOL workers will promote improvements in the quality of EOL care.
Loss of Tawhidi Worldview in Islamic World
Authors: Alkatiri Wardah
Published: April 2022

Modernization and the concomitant changes in people behavior are now blamed for the deterioration of the environment. This article points up desacralization of knowledge and the demise of esoteric tradition that followed to have an ecological impact in the Islamic world as the Muslims began to hold the bifurcated notion of “this-worldly” and “heavenly” in a completely distinct manner. Through modern education, Muslims adopted the notion of “independent existence” according to which nature exists in and of itself. Hence, the modernist vision of development and progress that threw the life-support system of the earth out of balance was possible in the Islamic world where religion and its cultural traditions remained strong. The twentieth century’s awareness about the need of an integrative framework to reconcile rational thought and science with a spiritual sense of awe for the cosmos, should remind the Muslims of the unitive worldview that arise from the core of Islamic belief—tawhid—expounded by esoteric Islam. Further, this article argues that science needs to repossess a metaphysical foundation, and that ethics and values need to be reintegrated into our rationality. Three case studies reveal mental crises caused by an overweening trust in science. I use data from my own extreme life experience, and biographical data suggestive of existential depression of two arguably highly gifted individuals. Drawing upon the data, the article juxtaposes the “unitive worldview” associated with mystical experience and the “evolutionary worldview” given rise by Darwin’s evolutionary biology, to put forward an examination of the effects that worldviews might have on human minds. The analysis adopts organic inquiry within transpersonal psychology research method, and content analysis of biographical data. Designed to investigate the “non-objective” spiritual reality, organic inquiry offers a rigorous method for those attempting to incorporate spiritual experience and mysticism into academic work. As a whole, the case studies present an example of the biologization of ethics; discusses social Darwinism and giftedness phenomena; and explicate the unitive worldview granted by mystical experiences.

Hypothetical enactment as a resource for elaborating agreement in Japanese talk-in-interaction
Authors: Arita Yuki
Published: April 2022

This study explores hypothetical enactments appearing subsequent to agreement sequences in Japanese non-institutional interactions. Employing Conversation Analysis, this study reveals that interactants, after they reach an agreement on a proffered opinion, may collaboratively enact a particular character in a hypothetical scenario to substantiate an agreed matter and elaborate their agreement. Such hypothetical enactments are categorised into two distinct types. In the first type, interactants enact a collective figure of a certain social category that the interactants belong to. In this case, enactments are provided as something that can happen in the future or could have happened in the past. In the second type, interactants enact an imaginary character in a completely fictitious scenario as a collaborative joke-telling. This study argues that Japanese hypothetical enactment is a resource with which interactants demonstrate and enhance a level of mutual agreement on a particular subject matter in their ongoing interaction.
The rise and fall of a discourse marker
Authors: Eom Sujin , Rhee Seongha
Published: April 2022

The Korean discourse marker kisil(un) presents an interesting grammaticalisation scenario. It began its life as a borrowing from Chinese, a syntactic construction to mean ‘that/its fruit’ in Middle Korean, and developed into a single lexeme with more abstract meanings, e.g., ‘essence, reality, fact, truth’ and further grammaticalised into a discourse marker signalling the speaker’s diverse stances in discourse contexts. As it was a borrowing from Chinese, its initial uses carried pedanticism and became officially banned in Modern Korean as part of efforts for ‘language purism’. The journey of kisil(un) exhibits subjectification in meaning and inter-subjectification in function. In particular, speakers use it to invite the interlocutor to some common ground. In discourse it also signals assertiveness and thus rarely co-occurs with hesitance markers. Unlike most discourse markers, kisil(un) does not have much positional freedom but occurs mostly between the subject and the predicate, bridging two contrasting propositions.
Ethnographic Turning
Authors: Punzo Waghorne Joanne
Published: April 2022

Ethnography is not native to my field of History of Religions. Here I reflect on my experience of a slow “ethnographic turn” in this field, where textual studies once dominated. Never trained in ethnographic methods, I recount my moves from experiencing archival work as fieldwork, then to the interviews and observations closer to “real” fieldwork, and finally to a self-centered experiential method that involves being there. At the same time, I transitioned from close work in Tamil Nadu, to the Hindu diaspora, and then to a new venue in global Singapore.
Shifting Technologies of Reflection
Authors: Allocco Amy L.
Published: April 2022

This article focuses on the intergenerational gifts and relationships that have structured my experience of the flows between home and the field in order to highlight the deeply intersubjective and relational aspects of fieldwork. It considers the shifting technologies of reflection—the diverse forms of field-writing that I produced at different stages as intertextual mediations of my fieldworlds—present in an archive chronicling twenty-five years of study and fieldwork in South India. Excavating this archive—which includes traditional fieldnotes, handwritten letters, creative essays, emails, voice memos and visual fieldnotes—has sharpened my awareness of the value of analyzing fieldwork experiences longitudinally and offers rich glimpses of everyday religion and gendered social relations. These materials underscore the interpenetrations of home and field, life and death, and self and other and prompt me to reaffirm my commitment to centering the crucial relationships that develop in these contexts in my scholarship, teaching and mentoring.

Celebrating the Construction of the Most Important Pilgrimage Centre in Modern Greece
Authors: Håland Evy Johanne
Published: April 2022

After several mystical visions of the nun, Pelagia, the holy icon of the Annunciation of the Panagia (“the All-Holy One”, or the Virgin Mary) was found on the island of Tinos in 1823. According to tradition, Pelagia repeatedly witnessed the Panagia in her visions and received orders from her to find the icon and also to build her church. The icon was unearthed in the field where it had remained since the church, built on the ruins of a pagan temple, was destroyed in the tenth century. Two years before the icon was found, the Greek War of Independence broke out. The finding of the icon, the construction of the Church of the Annunciation of the Panagia, the enormous crowds of pilgrims, and the miracles worked by the icon, contributed to the outcome that the island was declared a sacred island, and Pelagia became sanctified. The ritual year of the miraculous icon on Tinos starts on 30 January with the festival dedicated to the Finding of the Holy Icon when the finding is ritually re-enacted, before it is carried in a procession repeating the first procession after the finding. After worshipping the tombs of the builders of the church, the celebration terminates with a popular ritual called the Phanarakia (lanterns), in which children are the main participants, running around in the streets of Tinos town while holding multicoloured lighted lamps, and singing hymns commemorating the finding of the holy icon. This article presents the festival and delves into its meaning and importance for the Greek people.
COVID-19
Authors: Ridwan Ridwan , Zain Muhammad Fuad
Published: April 2022

During the COVID-19 pandemic the Indonesian government’s policy regarding social distancing and physical distancing has impacted on religious law. The health protocol policy forces the adaptation of Islamic legal provisions and patterns of social relations. This research examines how the COVID-19 pandemic as a medical problem relates to religious beliefs. Through the Indonesian government, various aspects of the pandemic have caused social change which become pre-conditions that encourage shifts in laws and changes in worship procedures. The primary data comes from the fatwas of the Indonesian Ulama Council relating to worship procedures during the pandemic and the statements of authority figures. This research proves that Islamic law is dynamic and has high adaptability to changing social contexts and situations. The emergency of the COVID-19 period has become a logical reason for adjusting legal provisions in worship. This research is limited to the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and legal provisions, in which changes in the social context affect the reading and interpretation of texts. The research is focused on the question of how the community responds to changes in the provisions regarding the law of worship. We suggest the need for a study that examines society’s acceptance or rejection of changes in Islamic law regarding worship.
The Angel Raphael
Authors: Dunnigan Neal
Published: April 2022

The Book of Tobit features the most well developed account of an angelic apparition found in the Bible. The deuterocanonical Old Testament story of Tobit focuses on how the distress of the righteous Tobit and his family is soothed by the divine presence in the disguised form of the angel Raphael (“God heals”). This article reviews the literary and historical context of the story. It then examines the story’s characterization of Raphael in contrast with contemporary archetypes of spiritual care. The analysis contrasts Raphael’s interactions with the most common spiritual care interventions, and uses textual analysis to expose recurring spiritual care themes.
A Reflection on Empowerment through Spirituality
Authors: Karvinen Ikali , Winqvist Sinikka , Lipponen Varpu
Published: April 2022

This article provides a reflection upon empowerment through spirituality. It presents the way in which the updating process of a spiritual guidebook was taken forward in Finland. The original guidebook, which was meant to be used in hospitals by healthcare professionals and chaplains, was published in 1996. At one point, it became evident that the original guidebook no longer correlated with the changing realities of Finnish society. At the time that the guidebook was originally published, Finnish society was rather homogenous and Christianity dominated the discourse. Nowadays, society has become more pluralistic and the discourse has become more enriched. The Nordic healthcare system increasingly includes people from diverse religious groups. The project to update the guidebook, which ran from 2014 to 2020, aimed to give social and healthcare professionals working in a variety of settings an easy way to update their knowledge on providing spiritual care. The primary objective of the project was to renew and update the guidebook to better match the contemporary spiritual landscape of Finland. The project had several stages. In the first phase, master’s degree students conducted thesis research to produce new information and evidence for the process. In the second phase, data from the two theses were synthesized and analyzed, and the results were used to update the guidebook. The revised guidebook was ready to go to press in March 2020. In this article, we provide insights into the project, and reflect on our own understanding of the role of spirituality in our society and in healthcare based on the work of one of the master’s theses. The master’s thesis discovers relationships between disabled individuals and their assistants, and suggests changes to the guidebook through widening the horizon of spirituality in the caring relationship.

Public relations and dissent: Anti-racism digital advocacy Portuguese case study
Authors: Müller Naíde
Published: April 2022

Social media platforms are being used to shift the balance of power, functioning as tools of resistance for activist publics on social justice issues. This article uses a postmodern approach to public relations with the purpose of clarifying the role of dissensus in social media contexts, connecting it to the principles of the ethics of care that promote dialogue but not necessarily with the aim of achieving consensus. Scholars and practitioners can claim a broader role for public relations in society by considering and analyzing conflicting perspectives in digital communication as a way to engage with activist struggles in social justice and human rights causes. By applying critical discourse analysis (CDA) to a case study that articulates interdisciplinary concepts, this research analyzes the first national weekly Portuguese newspaper Expresso support for the anti-racist cause through its promotion of a manifesto and a Facebook post against racist intimidation. In a contemporary society characterized by fragmentation, taking a public stance on important social and political issues, as in the case analyzed, demands moving beyond consensus-driven communication. The data confirm that social media platforms are not necessarily dialogic spaces and that conflicting communicative perspectives may be a useful way to analyze social change in public relations theory and practice. By taking a public stand against racist intimidation, assuming the possible alienation of specific publics –and “Facebook bullying”– this private newspaper also demonstrated the practical application of the assumptions of the ethics of care.
«Vi gjorde hverandre gode, men det dabbet av og stoppet opp»

Published: April 2022

Artikkelens hensikt er å belyse problemstillingen Hvilke erfaringer har studenter med loggskriving, gruppeveiledning og kombinasjonen av disse i praksisstudier i vernepleierutdanningen? Erfaringer med bruk av logger og gruppeveiledning i vernepleierutdanningens praksisstudier har ikke vært beskrevet i tidligere studier. To fokusgruppeintervjuer med studenter i sjette semester utgjør datamaterialet. Funnene viser at deltagerne husker godt hvordan loggskriving og gruppeveiledning ble brukt i førsteårs praksisperiode. Erindringene preges av at aktivitetene hver for seg og i kombinasjon var læringsfremmende: Loggskrivingen styrker bevisstheten rundt praksiserfaringer. Gruppeveiledningen stimulerer refleksjonen knyttet til egne og medstudenters logginnhold, og fremmer kollegial anerkjennelse studentene imellom. Kombinasjonen loggskriving-gruppeveiledning med fast møtestruktur og tydelige rammer bidrar over tid til forutsigbarhet og trygghet. Studentene erfarte lite kontinuitet i opplegget med loggskriving og gruppeveiledning i de to etterfølgende praksisperiodene, og de etterlyser mer gjenbruk av opplegget fra første praksisperiode. Ønsket om kontinuitet er et viktig innspill til faglærere i vernepleierutdanningen. Artikkelen diskuterer likevel hvorvidt full kontinuitet i metodebruk er didaktisk klokt.

Unusual imaging characteristics of thoracic hydatid disease
Authors: Şimşek Sadullah , Akgül Özmen Cihan
Published: April 2022

Abstract Cystic echinococcosis (hydatid disease) is a zoonotic parasitic disease, caused by ingestion of Echinococcus granulosus eggs, that can result in cyst formation anywhere on the body. Hydatid disease is frequently seen in regions where there is human-animal contact and poor socioeconomic development. The prevalence of the disease ranges from 0 to 79 cases/100,000 population. Hydatid cysts are typically found in the liver and lungs, being less common in other parts of the body. Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging is often used in order to clarify the sites affected by a hydatid cyst, such as the cranial and thoracic regions, which also facilitates the surgical evaluation and minimizes complications. Although rare, hydatid cysts in atypical locations can provoke unusual complications, with unpredictable findings and symptoms. This essay discusses the radiological aspects of rare thoracic hydatid cysts.

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the relationship between 25(OH)D3 levels and fatal outcome in patients over 60 years of age undergoing surgical repair of hip fractures. Methods: prospective cohort of patients undergoing surgical repair of hip fractures. At admission, 25(OH)D3 levels were measured, among other parameters. Patients were followed for at least 1 year, and incident mortality was recorded. Results: 209 patients were included in the study, with a mean age of 79.5 ± 7.6 years among survivors and 80.7 ± 8.2 years among those who died in the first postoperative year (p=0.346). The 25(OH)D3 levels of survivors were significantly higher than those of patients who died (p=0.003). After adjusting for confounding variables, 25(OH)D3 levels below 12.5ng/mL were significant risk factors regardless of mortality (adjusted OR: 7.6; 95% CI: 2.35 to 24.56). Conclusions: our data show that serum 25(OH)D3 levels below 12.5ng/mL significantly and independently increased the risk of mortality in the first year after surgical repair of low-energy hip fracture in patients over 60 years of age in the geographic region where this study was conducted. Low albumin also showed a significant association with mortality in these patients. All other factors had no significant associations.

Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT: The current study evaluated the efficiency of mechanical, physical, chemical and cultural methods, used exclusively or integrated, to control tough lovegrass. The experimental design was completely randomized, with 15 treatments and four repetitions. Physical control of tough lovegrass was based on the application of fire, whereas mechanical controls consisted in mowing and harrowing/plowing procedures. The herbicide clethodim and different glyphosate salts were evaluated for chemical control. Glyphosate and soil fertility correction were applied as cultural and integrated methods, in addition to isopropylamine + potassium salts combination, soil fertility correction and implantation of one of the following forage plants: Elephant grass, Pangola grass, Forage peanut and Birdsfoot trefoil. The effect of treatments on the incidence of tough lovegrass and on its botanical composition was evaluated one year after their applications. Isolated control methods, except for glyphosate using, did not present efficient tough lovegrass control. Glyphosate salts could control tough lovegrass plants, but their association with improved soil fertility and Pangola grass implantation was the best strategy to control the invasive plant.
Os direitos humanos no pensamento de James Griffin
Authors: Rodrigues Gabriel Costa Val
Published: April 2022

Resumo Em On Human Rights, James Griffin defende persuasivamente a tese jusnaturalista de que direitos humanos devem ser concebidos como proteções da personalidade, isto é, da capacidade inerente a membros da espécie humana de agir enquanto agentes morais autônomos e livres. A partir de uma interpretação holística do pensamento do autor, e por meio de uma abordagem analítica, este artigo examina os principais elementos da teoria dos direitos humanos de Griffin, passando por sua metodologia e objetivos, conceitos centrais e fundamentação filosófico-normativa nas noções de interesses humanos básicos e praticidades. O texto considera, ainda, a crítica de Joseph Raz de que a proposta de Griffin seria inconsistente e incapaz de explicar boa parte dos direitos humanos tradicionalmente reconhecidos na prática internacional. Conclui-se que a teoria de Griffin tem recursos suficientes para oferecer uma resposta à altura da objeção levantada por Raz.

Published: April 2022

Abstract The objective of this work was to estimate genotypic and phenotypic parameters associated with early maturity, and to select soybean (Glycine max) progenies that are high yielding and early maturing. F3:4 and F3:5 progenies were evaluated during the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 crop years in five environments. Data on days to full maturity, days to flowering, and grain yield were collected and analyzed using the mixed model approach. Genotypic and phenotypic parameters, expected and achieved selection gains, and correlated responses were estimated. The components genetic variation and genotype x environment interaction were significant. Heritability fluctuated from 50.14%, for grain yield, to 90.37%, for full maturity. The achieved genetic gain for full maturity ranged from −0.17 to −2.57%. A positive correlation was observed among the three evaluated traits. The selection of 5.0% of the earliest-maturing soybean progenies would reduce mean grain yield by about 5.02%, but also reduce time to reach full maturity from 125 to 119 days, in detriment of 210.5 kg ha−1 potential yield. Five progenies reached full maturity up to 120 days. Progeny 51 overperformed the more productive parent (NK 7074 RR), with a grain yield of 4,975 kg ha−1 and 128 days to full maturity.
Agroeconomic viability of 'Farta Velhaco' banana plantations at increasing planting densities in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil
Authors: Salmazo Priscila da Silva , Krause Willian , Grzebieluckas Cleci
Published: April 2022

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the morphological characteristics, yield, fruit quality, and profitability of the 'Farta Velhaco' banana (AAB, Plantain subgroup) subjected to increasing planting densities. The treatments consisted of four planting densities – 3,333, 2,222, 1,666, and 1,333 plants per hectare, whose spacings between plants were, respectively, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 m in the planting rows, arranged in a randomized complete block design, with four replicates. The planting density of 3,333 plants per hectare (4.0x2.0x1.0 m) provided yield increases, without affecting the fruit commercial standards. Although this spacing resulted in a higher production cost (US$ 5,634.06), it provided a higher operating profit (US$ 13,444.48). Therefore, the increases in planting density of up to 3,333 plants per hectare increment crop yield, without affecting the commercial quality of the fruit. The economic profitability is higher when using 3,333 plants per hectare (4.0x2.0x1.0 m), which is the most suitable plant density, considering the main morphological characteristics, as well as yield and fruit quality, in a production cycle.

Published: April 2022

Resumen Niños y niñas con Trastorno Específico de Lenguaje (TEL) presentan dificultades en habilidades lingüísticas y de comunicación que impactan en la trayectoria escolar, dificultando la participación e inclusión social. Sin embargo, la lectura de cuentos de la familia puede fortalecer la adquisición y el desarrollo de dichas habilidades, ya que enriquece el vocabulario y la conciencia silábica que se relacionan con el aprendizaje de la lectura. El propósito de este estudio es determinar el nivel de vocabulario pasivo, la conciencia silábica y su relación con la lectura de cuentos que hace el contexto familiar a 94 estudiantes preescolares con diagnóstico de TEL, que asisten a escuelas especiales de lenguaje en la comuna de Talca, Chile. La metodología corresponde al paradigma cuantitativo, con un diseño no experimental, inferencial, transaccional y correlacional comparativo. El análisis considera estadística descriptiva, de correlación bivariada (Pearson) y significancias de las diferencias entre medias a través del Análisis multivariado de la varianza (MANOVA), y Análisis de la varianza (ANOVA univariada) en las medidas que integran el compuesto multivariado. El análisis fue realizado usando SPSS 18 para Windows. La lectura de cuentos resultó estar estadísticamente relacionada a la combinación multivariada de variables dependientes vocabulario y conciencia silábica. Las implicancias de estos hallazgos son discutidas.

Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT Background: Pyogenic Spinal Epidural Abscess (PSEA) is difficult to diagnose and can have devastating consequences. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has high sensitivity and specificity, which are further increased with the use of contrast. There are several classifications of vertebral infectious processes, with emphasis on spondylodiscitis. Objective: To analyze the morphological parameters and their reproducibility; and to analyze different resonance imaging sequences. Methods: Using an image database, a morphological classification of PSEA was planned, with five parameters: Region (R), indicating the upper and lower limits of the abscess; Location (U), indicating whether the abscess is anterior or posterior within the canal; Compromise (C), meningeal or content of the structures; Association (A), discitis, osteomyelitis or both; and Perivertebral (P), anterior, lateral or posterior extravertebral abscess. The first three parameters give an idea of the volume of the PSEA, while the last two give the related infectious foci. Thirty-five cases were analyzed using Kappa’s coefficient. Results: The global intra- and interobserver reproducibility was Kappa 0.81. The results for each parameter were as follows: R=0.95, U=0.92, C=0.66, A=0.70 and P=0.80. The first three give a notion of volume and the last two relate to the presence of vertebral infectious foci outside the canal. T2 weighted MRI with contrast was found to be the most effective imaging sequence. Conclusion: The morphological classification is simple to use, with excellent reproducibility. The parameters with the highest reproducibility were region and location, with values >0.92. The addition of gadolinium contrast increased the sensitivity of the diagnosis; the use of sagittal and axial images in T2-MRI was the most sensitive imaging sequence. Evidence Level III; Original.
Vertical stability of geotextile-encased sand columns without and with surrounding soil
Authors: Kadhim S. T. , Parsons R. L. , Han J.
Published: April 2022

Use of geotextile encasement can enhance the axial capacity of individual sand columns by providing an additional confinement, hence reducing both the radial and axial deformations. In very weak soils, geotextile-encased sand columns (GESaCs) may buckle due to the lack of confinement offered by the surrounding soil. This paper focuses on the vertical stability of individual GESaCs of various diameters and lengths tested in air to demonstrate their performance in the extreme case where the surrounding soil offers no confinement, and in weak soil, which simulates the more likely case where such columns would be considered for use. Loose sand was selected to simulate the weak surrounding soil. Loading tests were conducted on individual GESaCs prepared in air and loose sand to investigate the load capacity, radial strain, and axial strain of columns. GESaCs of smaller diameters exhibited higher axial pressure capacities compared with those of larger diameters. GESaCs prepared in either air or loose sand delivered higher axial capacities at smaller length to diameter ratios. Columns in loose sand exhibited lower radial and axial strains as compared with those in air when the same pressure was applied on the top area of the column.

Design and preparation of synthetic reference peptides for APP/Aβ TOMAHAQ proteomics v2
Authors: Park Hankum , V Hundley Frances , JW Harper
Published: April 2022

TOMAHAQ-based targeted proteomics relies on heavy-labeled reference peptides for multi-plexed quantification of peptides of interest within a set of samples. The APP amyloid precursor protein is thought to be proteolytically processed within the endolysosomal system by β-secretase and ϒ-secretase to yield various forms of Aβ. To quantitatively track APP products, we describe a protocol for design and generation of synthetic reference peptides for TOMAHAQ analysis. We also include reference peptides for the extracellular and cytosolic domains.
