Authors: Al-Janae'e Ahmed M. S. , Ali Atheer H. , Al-Edany Taha Y.
Published: December 2019

The current study was carried out in Basrah Prawn Hatchery during the period from 23 March 2016 till 15 April 2016. Water extracts of four species of aromatic plants: garlic Allium sativum L., eucalyptus Eucalyptus camaldulensis Deh., mint Mentha spicata L. and ginger Zingiber officinale Roscoe were used as alternative materials instead of malachite green to control the pathogenic fungus Saprolegnia parasitica on eggs of the common carp Cyprinus carpio. The reason of using these substituted materials used here is to avoid the carcinogenic effect of malachite green for producers, consumers and abnormalities malformations of fish fries, contamination of the aquatic environment and economic losses resulted from malformation of fish larvae. The results showed significant differences in the sterilization ratio with the studied plants according to species and concentration of the extract in comparison with that of malachite green. The results showed that with application of 100% of the stock solution (full strength of garlic extract), the activity of treatment reached 96%, while lowest activity of sterilization reached 90% with using 100% ginger extract as compared to malachite green (99%). The number of alive fish larvae differs according to the species of the plant; the highest number of alive fish larvae (18694 larvae) was achieved with ginger, while the lower number (12320) was with eucalyptus in comparison with malachite green (13878). No such malformation in the larvae was occurred when treated with garlic, ginger and mint, while just 1% (non-significant) of malformation occurred with eucalyptus in comparison with malachite green (7%).

Published: December 2019

Field experiments were conducted in silty clay soil, to study the effect of using the modified subsoiler-moldboard plow (MSMP) on some soil properties (bulk density, penetration resistance and electrical conductivity) and on some of broad bean growth and yield parameters (emergency rate, plant height, frock number, pods number per plant, seeds number per pods, weight of 1000 seeds, and total yield). The experiment parameters were three depths of subsoiler as a part of MSMP (30,40 and 50cm) and two depths of moldboard as a part of MSMP (20 and 30cm). The results showed that increasing the subsoiler depth from 30 to 40 cm resulted in redusing the bulk density and electrical conductivity of the soil by 2.70 and 8.29%, respectively, while increased the growth and yield parameters by 10.17, 14.29, 33.43, 7.37, 21.46, 27.31 and 45%, respectively. Increasing the subsoiler depth from 40 to 50cm decreased the soil bulk density and electrical conductivity by 1.85 and 0.60% respectively, whereas the growth and yield parameters increased by 10.22, 37.50, 49.89, 93.13 35.34, 33.34 and 117.67% respectively. The increase of the moldboard depths from 20 to 30cm leaded to increase the growth and yield parameters by 23.16%, 24.70%, 67.46%, 57.51%, 34.38%, 20.33% and 68.16% respectively. The subsoiler and moldboard depths (50 and 30cm) gave the highest emergence rate, plant height, weight of 1000 seeds and yield by 71.61%, 109.42%, 111.01% and 407.46% compared with the shallow depths of subsoiler and moldboard plow depths (30 and 20cm respectively). The results revealed that the values of the soil properties decreased by 12.50%, 60.31% and 40.86%, respectively after tillage, whereas they increased by 17.35%, 250.68% and 169.09%, respectively before harvest.

Three species of fish Tigris asp (Leuciscus vorax) locally named " Shilluk "and Abu mullet (Planiliza abu) locally named "Khushani" and Blue tilapia (Oreochromis aureus) were collected from the Southern part of the Al-Chibayish marsh to study the composition of its natural food during the period from February 2014 to January 2015. Each species was divided into two-length group (1 and 2). Fishes consisted high percentage of Tigris asp food for both length groups, which reached 50% and 68% respectively. In contrast, sand and mud were of great importance in the food of Abu mullet that comprise 41% and 40% for the two length groups, respectively. The aquatic plant were most important in the food of blue tilapia at percentage of 56% and 50% for the two length groups, respectively. The highest feeding intensity (point/fish) reached by Tigris asp (11.30 and 13.50) during spring, for Abu mullet (10.52 and 8.08) during summer and autumn, whereas for Blue tilapia blue reached (14.82 and 12.66) in the spring and winter for the two length groups, respectively. However, feeding activity values differed according to month. The three species of fish showed a different specialization in the selection of their food components. The small individuals of the Tigris asp were narrowly specialized in food (0.27) while the large individuals were highly specialized (0.25), whereas Abu mullet and Blue tilapia showed narrow specialization (0.42 and 0.37) and (0.32 and 0.32) for the two length groups respectively.

The impacts of weather and environmental conditions on mobile communication signals were determined in this study. A Glo mobile communication network operating in the 900MHz band was considered. The Glo fixed base transceiver station (BTS) location at Gloworld in Benin City was considered. A frequency-signal tracker software, version 2.5.1 was installed and configured into a notebook Intel palm top, relative parameters data were obtained from 200 meters from the Glo BTS from 28th of July to 31st of August 2016, with data obtained hourly. Morning, afternoon and evening, and dry weather, fog weather and raining conditions was based on the statistical central tendency parameters. The average refractivity gradient observed was -61.3 N/km. It was observed that dry weather, signal strength variation was within 32 dBm, fog, variation was within 34 dBm range, while the variation of rain was within 38 dBm range indicating higher variation. It was observed that the more the mobile station move away from the BTS the higher the signal loss and that temperature and refractivity gradient has 0.50 and 0.42  positive correlations. In addition, relative humidity and pressure possesses negative correlations of -0.50 and -0.44 respectively.
INTEGRATED VALUE CO-CREATION AND AFFECTIVE COMMITMENT IN BANKING INDUSTRY
Authors: Wulandari Nuri , Nasution Reza Ashari
Published: December 2019

Co-creation is a seminal concept in marketing, explained as the engagement between service provider and customer
in creating value. This concept has grown into a rich and wide array of studies that have become an area of intense focus in the
discipline. Nevertheless, the understanding of the concept, especially in service marketing, is mostly still developing in silos
rather than encompassing the entire sphere of value creation. There is a research gap in terms of a measurement scale that is not
only integrative, but also encompasses different interaction experiences in the co-creation process. The present research aims to
develop a scale measuring integrated value co-creation (IVC) to assess value co-creation in the three spheres of value creation
(production, joint and customers’ sphere) and try to investigate the impact of IVC on affective commitment (AC). A quantitative
survey was administered and a total of 308 respondents in the banking industry have responded. The result confirms the IVC
measurement tools with reliability and validity of the construct. It also found a significant and positive relationship between
IVC and AC. The study is crucial due to its context in the industry of banking where knowledge on how to innovate becoming
the key barrier. The novelty of the study lies in providing empirical evidence of co-creation drive customer commitment. This
is achieved through the development of an integrated value co-creation scale that encompasses all spheres of value creation,
including customers’ direct-indirect interaction and active-passive involvement, in one single construct. The study serves as an
important tool during the development stages of co-creation efforts.

Trabalhadores, sindicatos e lutas por direitos na Bahia no final da Segunda Guerra Mundial
Authors: Souza Edinaldo Antonio Oliveira
Published: December 2019

A conjuntura do final da Segunda Guerra Mundial e o processo de democratização no Brasil redimensionaram as perspectivas de participação política e social da classe trabalhadora, após o impacto da escalada repressora que se abateu sobre suas lideranças e organizações, durante a maior parte do Estado Novo. Foi também um contexto de aproximação entre os trabalhadores, o discurso e os organismos jurídicos e administrativos trabalhistas, sobretudo as Delegacias Regionais do Trabalho (DRTs), a Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho (CLT), a Justiça do Trabalho e a estrutura sindical corporativista. Nesse contexto, comunistas, trabalhistas e outras correntes sindicais tanto atuaram conjuntamente, quanto disputaram posições na organização e nas ações reivindicatórias dos trabalhadores. Este artigo analisa as formas como as lideranças sindicais e setores do operariado baiano recepcionaram os discursos do “esforço de guerra”, do queremismo/trabalhismo e da União Nacional [1], procurando apreender as demandas, expectativas e formas de mobilização de sindicalistas e parcelas da classe trabalhadora baiana na luta por direitos, no contexto da redemocratização.[1] Linha de ação política preconizada pelo PCB a partir da Conferência da Mantiqueira, realizada em agosto de 1943, que se desdobrou no apoio dos comunistas ao esforço de guerra, na defesa da Constituinte com Getúlio e na adesão ao “queremismo”.
Coarse and giant particles are ubiquitous in Saharan dust export regions and are radiatively significant over the Sahara

Published: December 2019

Abstract. Mineral dust is an important component of the climate
system, interacting with radiation, clouds, and biogeochemical systems and
impacting atmospheric circulation, air quality, aviation, and solar energy
generation. These impacts are sensitive to dust particle size distribution
(PSD), yet models struggle or even fail to represent coarse (diameter (d)
>2.5 µm) and giant (d>20 µm) dust
particles and the evolution of the PSD with transport. Here we examine three
state-of-the-art airborne observational datasets, all of which measured the
full size range of dust (d=0.1 to >100 µm) at different
stages during transport with consistent instrumentation. We quantify the
presence and evolution of coarse and giant particles and their contribution
to optical properties using airborne observations over the Sahara (from the
Fennec field campaign) and in the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) over the tropical
eastern Atlantic (from the AER-D field campaign). Observations show significantly more abundant coarse and giant dust
particles over the Sahara compared to the SAL: effective diameters of up to
20 µm were observed over the Sahara compared to 4 µm in the
SAL. Excluding giant particles over the Sahara results in significant
underestimation of mass concentration (40 %), as well as underestimates of
both shortwave and longwave extinction (18 % and 26 %, respectively, from
scattering calculations), while the effects in the SAL are smaller but
non-negligible. The larger impact on longwave extinction compared to
shortwave implies a bias towards a radiative cooling effect in dust models,
which typically exclude giant particles and underestimate coarse-mode
concentrations. A compilation of the new and published effective diameters against dust age since uplift
time suggests that two regimes of dust transport exist. During the initial
1.5 d, both coarse and giant particles are rapidly deposited. During the
subsequent 1.5 to 10 d, PSD barely changes with transport, and the coarse
mode is retained to a much greater degree than expected from estimates of
gravitational sedimentation alone. The reasons for this are unclear and
warrant further investigation in order to improve dust transport schemes
and the associated radiative effects of coarse and giant particles in
models.
Gravity waves in the winter stratosphere over the Southern Ocean: high-resolution satellite observations and 3-D spectral analysis

Abstract. Atmospheric gravity waves play a key role in the transfer of energy and momentum between layers of the Earth's atmosphere. However, nearly all general circulation models (GCMs) seriously under-represent the momentum fluxes of gravity waves at latitudes near 60∘ S, which can lead to significant biases. A prominent example of this is the “cold pole problem”, where modelled winter stratospheres are unrealistically cold. There is thus a need for large-scale measurements of gravity wave fluxes near 60∘ S, and indeed globally, to test and constrain GCMs. Such measurements are notoriously difficult, because they require 3-D observations of wave properties if the fluxes are to be estimated without using significant limiting assumptions. Here we use 3-D satellite measurements of stratospheric gravity waves from NASA's Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) Aqua instrument. We present the first extended application of a 3-D Stockwell transform (3DST) method to determine localised gravity wave amplitudes, wavelengths and directions of propagation around the entire region of the Southern Ocean near 60∘ S during austral winter 2010. We first validate our method using a synthetic wavefield and two case studies of real gravity waves over the southern Andes and the island of South Georgia. A new technique to overcome wave amplitude attenuation problems in previous methods is also presented. We then characterise large-scale gravity wave occurrence frequencies, directional momentum fluxes and short-timescale intermittency over the entire Southern Ocean. Our results show that highest wave occurrence frequencies, amplitudes and momentum fluxes are observed in the stratosphere over the mountains of the southern Andes and Antarctic Peninsula. However, we find that around 60 %–80 % of total zonal-mean momentum flux is located over the open Southern Ocean during June–August, where a large “belt” of increased wave occurrence frequencies, amplitudes and fluxes is observed. Our results also suggest significant short-timescale variability of fluxes from both orographic and non-orographic sources in the region. A particularly striking result is a widespread convergence of gravity wave momentum fluxes towards latitudes around 60∘ S from the north and south. We propose that this convergence, which is observed at nearly all longitudes during winter, could account for a significant part of the under-represented flux in GCMs at these latitudes.
Technical note: The silicon isotopic composition of choanoflagellates: implications for a mechanistic understanding of isotopic fractionation during biosilicification
Authors: Marron Alan , Cassarino Lucie , Hatton Jade , Curnow Paul , Hendry Katharine R.
Published: December 2019

Abstract. The marine silicon cycle is intrinsically linked with carbon cycling in the oceans via biological production of silica by a wide range of organisms. The stable silicon isotopic composition (denoted by δ30Si) of siliceous microfossils extracted from sediment cores can be used as an archive of past oceanic silicon cycling. However, the silicon isotopic composition of biogenic silica has only been measured in diatoms, sponges and radiolarians, and isotopic fractionation relative to seawater is entirely unknown for many other silicifiers. Furthermore, the biochemical pathways and mechanisms that determine isotopic fractionation during biosilicification remain poorly understood.
Here, we present the first measurements of the silicon isotopic fractionation during biosilicification by loricate choanoflagellates, a group of protists closely related to animals. We cultured two species of choanoflagellates, Diaphanoeca grandis and Stephanoeca diplocostata, which showed consistently greater isotopic fractionation (approximately −5 ‰ to −7 ‰) than cultured diatoms (−0.5 ‰ to −2.1 ‰). Instead, choanoflagellate silicon isotopic fractionation appears to be more similar to sponges grown under similar dissolved silica concentrations. Our results highlight that there is a taxonomic component to silicon isotope fractionation during biosilicification, possibly via a shared or related biochemical transport pathway. These findings have implications for the use of biogenic silica δ30Si produced by different silicifiers as proxies for past oceanic change.
María Egipciaca y 'Breaking the Waves': la irresistible atracción de la prostituta mártir
Authors: Martínez Istillarte Cristina
Published: December 2019

La vida de María Egipciaca ha sido por siglos imaginada y diseminada a mano de un notable puñado de hombres, en su mayoría miembros del clero, con propósitos correspondientes. Dentro de dicho corpus literario se evidencia toda una manera de escribir sobre conversiones de mujeres, espacio donde se idealiza el sacrificio corporal femenino y, por ende, promueve imágenes e ideas esencialistas sobre la mujer y/o lo femenino. Este estudio analiza la intertextualidad entre la leyenda de María Egipciaca y el filme Breaking the Waves (1996), del director danés Lars Von Trier, cuya protagonista —aquí se propone— es eco directo de María Egipciaca.
Pride and Prejudice: Fashioning a Cuban Discourse of 'Difference' in 'Fresa y Chocolate'
Authors: Pastor Brígida M.
Published: December 2019

El cine ha surgido como un foco de producción en el que las representaciones de las sexualidades se construyen e inscriben dentro del discurso simbólico del poder y la película cubana Fresa y chocolate representa un ejemplo esclarecedor. El objetivo de Gutiérrez Alea y Juan Carlos Tabío es hacer explícita la construcción social del orden simbólico dominante y los problemas involucrados en su deconstrucción, para mostrar hasta qué punto la política sexual está profundamente arraigada en todas las formaciones culturales y sociales a lo largo de la historia. Este estudio intenta dilucidar la relación dialéctica entre el orden simbólico social —la norma— y la conciencia individual. Los cineastas construyen estratégicamente la relación y los conflictos y contradicciones que surgen de ella, incluida la crítica de algunos aspectos de la Revolución Cubana, a saber, el pathos de la cultura queer, lo que potencia la diferencia sexual como un elemento de cambio social.
'Nacer para todo'. Notas para una historia de la autoría nobiliaria altomoderna
Authors: Martínez Hernández Santiago
Published: December 2019

La nobleza continúa siendo para el historiador de la alta Edad Moderna un magnífico observatorio para el estudio de numerosos aspectos de la cultura europea. Polémicas historiográficas aparte, la república de las letras y la revolución científica, así como la renovación artística, pueden ser leídas en clave nobiliaria. El protagonismo de la nobleza en estos ámbitos no solo atendió a su relevante participación como promotores, protectores o mecenas, sino a la expresión autorial. Estas páginas se plantean, pues, con el único objetivo de proponer un acercamiento al fenómeno de la autoría y el genio nobiliarios en los siglos XVI y XVII. Los nobles fueron capaces de generar modelos propios de mecenazgo –distintos a los regios–, y de expresarse como autores en ámbitos tan diversos como la poesía, la arquitectura, la pintura, la anticuaria, el dibujo o la música.
'Para que la cante mi señora'. Aristocracia y circulación musical entre Madrid y Lisboa tras la guerra de Sucesión española
Authors: Domínguez José María , Quirós Rosado Roberto
Published: December 2019

El gusto por la música, la gestación del mecenazgo y la utilización de los medios aristocráticos para la difusión del acervo musical y teatral generó un amplio espectro de nodos y canales de construcción de una koiné nobiliaria que posibilitó el desarrollo de una no menos cosmopolita cultura de elites durante la Edad Moderna. A través de la figura de Catalina María de Silva, condesa consorte de Lemos, y su trayectoria vital entre Italia y España durante la transición de los siglos XVII y XVIII se ejemplificará tal proceso cultural desde una perspectiva transnacional. Así, el análisis de su fluida correspondencia con João de Almeida Portugal, III conde de Assumar, que demuestra la cercanía de la condesa con el compositor José de Torres, denotará cómo, tras la guerra de Sucesión española, no solo no se rompieron los vínculos sociales entre las cortes de Madrid y Lisboa, sino que se acentuaron y proyectaron dinámicas de circulación de música teatral y de cámara.

Nuevas perspectivas de las voces en 'off' femeninas en las producciones televisivas contemporáneas. Poder, libertad y ambigüedad en serie
Authors: Piñeiro Otero Teresa
Published: December 2019

En el contexto de la “Quality TV” la ficción televisiva está recuperando la voz en off que se resignifica e integra de diversas formas dentro del relato. Frente a la concepción clásica de la voz en off masculina –omnipresente, omnisciente y omnipotente- en las series contemporáneas surgen diversas voces femeninas que vehiculan una parte de la historia y apelan a la audiencia de múltiples formas. El objeto del presente estudio ha sido el de analizar el papel de las voces femeninas en la ficción televisiva actual, especialmente en aquellas series que cuentan con un empleo innovador de estas voces en off atendiendo a su relación con su fuente o imagen. Partiendo del análisis del discurso crítico como metodología de investigación se llevó a cabo el estudio de las voces de El cuento de la criada, Por trece razones, La Casa de las Flores y Alias Grace desde la perspectiva de su corporalización. Un análisis que permitió determinar tres manifestaciones diferentes de liberación y poder de estas voces en off femeninas: a través de la muerte, como forma de resistencia o de narradora poco fiable.

Presencia, convenciones y huellas de Itzcóatl en el Códice de Huichapan
Authors: Battcock Clementina , Dávila Alejandra
Published: December 2019

El Códice de Huichapan es una fuente historiográfica clave para comprender el periodo Posclásico Tardío y el primer siglo de dominación hispana al norte de la Cuenca de México, producida durante la primera mitad del siglo XVII. El Códice está compuesto por pictografías y glosas alfabéticas en náhuatl y otomí / hñahñu, dispuesto en cuatro partes. Su cuarta sección comprende una versión particular sobre la guerra entre Tenochtitlan y Azcapotzalco, donde Itzcóatl, cuarto tlahtoani mexicatenochca, fue representado como fundador de las políticas expansionistas de su grupo hacia la región de Huichapan/Jilotepec. Este artículo analiza las representaciones de Itzcóatl siguiendo la estructura narrativa del códice, así como la traducción de las glosas en hñahñu realizadas por Lawrence Ecker y Manuel Alvarado Guinchard, respectivamente.
Dos escenarios para la recreación del mito: el Patio Este y la Casa E del Palacio en Palenque
Authors: Kupprat Felix
Published: December 2019

La recreación de lugares mitológicos en el espacio construido fue una práctica común entre los mayas del periodo Clásico. Especialmente los templos y las plazas han sido asociados con conceptos cosmológicos y ubicaciones sobrenaturales específicas. No obstante, la identificación e interpretación de estos paisajes primordiales plasmados en los contextos urbanos es difícil y, en muchos casos, hipotética. De manera general, se requiere de varias líneas de evidencia para detectar este tipo de representaciones simbólicas, como por ejemplo imágenes, textos, elementos arquitectónicos y configuraciones espaciales. En este artículo se mostrará cómo la escultura y la arquitectura creaban escenarios mitológicos para ciertos espectáculos que se llevaron a cabo en y alrededor de los edificios del Palacio en Palenque.

Published: December 2019

Nas situações de divórcio envolvendo filhos, a Justiça sempre é chamada para decidir, entre outras coisas, a guarda das crianças/adolescentes. Neste sentido, este artigo objetivou compreender as concepções e práticas de atores jurídicos (juízes, promotores, psicólogos, assistentes sociais) que atuam nos casos de disputa de guarda a respeito do Princípio do Melhor Interesse da Criança. A metodologia foi qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória. Como instrumento, utilizou-se a entrevista semiestruturada. A análise deu-se por meio da formação das Zonas de Sentido, propostas por González Rey. Entrevistou-se um juiz, um promotor, um psicólogo e um assistente social que atuavam em casos de disputa de guarda em uma cidade satélite do Distrito Federal, por pelo menos cinco anos. Os resultados sugerem uma compreensão complexa do Princípio do Melhor Interesse da Criança e a sua dimensão Jurídico-Psicossocial. Observou-se também que as relações familiares e as dinâmicas do sistema familiar podem interferir no processo de guarda e dificultar e/ou facilitar a avaliação/atuação psicossocial e jurídica, além de interferir também na garantia dos melhores interesses da criança.

Authors: Dos Santos Azevêdo Adriano Valério , Crepaldi Maria Aparecida
Published: December 2019

Este artigo buscou apresentar uma revisão integrativa de pesquisas empíricas referentes aos estados emocionais e relacionamento familiar de cuidadores de crianças com queimaduras. Foram realizadas buscas de artigos empíricos e de revisão nas bases de dados Medline, Lilacs, Science Direct, Pubmed, PsycInfo, para selecionar os estudos publicados entre 1993 e 2015. Identificaram-se 36 artigos da produção internacional que estão concentrados nas seguintes temáticas: Ansiedade e Transtorno de Estresse Pós-Traumático, depressão, estresse parental e relacionamento familiar. Os resultados indicaram que os estados emocionais do cuidador familiar da criança com queimaduras apresentaram alterações, principalmente no início da hospitalização, e estas alterações são maiores quando comparadas com cuidadores em outros contextos pediátricos. A hospitalização da criança em unidade de queimados repercutiu em mudanças nas relações familiares, assim todos os membros da família (pais e irmãos) vivenciaram novas experiências. Isto aponta a necessidade de direcionar atenção integral à criança e sua família na unidade de queimados por meio de acompanhamento no período de hospitalização e durante a fase de retorno ao contexto familiar.
Lower Socioeconomic Status Is Associated With Worse Preoperative Function, Pain, and Increased Opioid Use in Patients With Primary Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis

Published: December 2019

Background:

Numerous studies have identified differences in patient-reported outcome scores and complication rates based on various measures of socioeconomic status (SES); however, there is limited information regarding the role of SES in the shoulder arthroplasty cohort. The purpose of this study was to characterize the role of SES in patients undergoing primary anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) for primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA).

Methods:

We identified 1,045 patients who had primary TSA done for OA in a prospective shoulder arthroplasty registry, and 982 patients met inclusion criteria. We prospectively assessed patient demographics, comorbidities, patient-reported outcome scores, range of motion, and preoperative opioid use. Each patient was assigned to a quartile according to the Area Deprivation Index using their home address as a measure of SES.

Results:

The most disadvantaged patients (lower SES) reported to our center with a higher body mass index and higher rates of preoperative opioid use and diabetes. Patients in the most disadvantaged quartile reported more preoperative pain (Constant—Pain and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons [ASES]—Pain) and lower function (Constant—ADL, Constant—Total, and ASES). Multivariate regression identified that male patients and advanced age at surgery had better reported ASES pain scores, while preoperative opioid use, chronic back pain, and the most disadvantaged quartile were associated with worse ASES pain scores.

Conclusion:

Lower SES correlates with worse preoperative function and pain in patients undergoing anatomic TSA for primary glenohumeral OA. Providers should be cognizant of the potential impact of SES when evaluating quality metrics for patients with primary glenohumeral OA.

Level of Evidence:

Level 3, cross-sectional study.

Giant embryo rice is a special kind of functional rice which can produce eutrophic rice. It conforms to people's concept of food consumption and healthy life. Giant embryo rice and its intensively processed products have been widely used in food, medicine, health products and other fields. They have extremely important scientific significance and economic value, and have become one of the most nutritional and health-care functional rice in the future. In recent years, a series of important advances have been made in the research of giant embryo rice. The special nutrients, agronomic characteristics and products developed by giant embryo rice have attracted the attention of rice breeders and consumers at home and abroad. In this paper, the research contents and new advances in the creation and breeding of giant embryo rice germplasm, the characteristics of nutrient changes, important agronomic traits and the processing and utilization of giant embryo rice were summarized, and the application prospect of giant embryo rice was prospected, all of which could provide important reference for the development and sustainable utilization of giant embryo rice.

Challenges and Strategies for Educational Virtual Reality
Authors: Cook Matt , Lischer-Katz Zack , Hall Nathan , Hardesty Juliet , Johnson Jennifer , McDonald Robert , Carlisle Tara
Published: December 2019

Virtual reality (VR) is a rich visualization and analytic platform that furthers the library’s mission of providing access to all forms of information and supporting pedagogy and scholarship across disciplines. Academic libraries are increasingly adopting VR technology for a variety of research and teaching purposes, which include providing enhanced access to digital collections, offering new research tools, and constructing new immersive learning environments for students. This trend suggests that positive technological innovation is flourishing in libraries, but there remains a lack of clear guidance in the library community on how to introduce these technologies in effective ways and make them sustainable within different types of institutions. In June 2018, the University of Oklahoma hosted the second of three forums on the use of 3D and VR for visualization and analysis in academic libraries, as part of the project Developing Library Strategy for 3D and Virtual Reality Collection Development and Reuse(LIB3DVR), funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. This qualitative study invited experts from a range of disciplines and sectors to identify common challenges in the visualization and analysis of 3D data, and the management of VR programs, for the purpose of developing a national library strategy.
Le texte comme sépulture vivante: Écriture du deuil et enjeux de l'écriture dans L'Enfant de marbre de Mohamed Leftah
Authors: Lyamlahy Khalid
Published: December 2019

Dans L'enfant de marbre, roman publié en 2007 et reprenant des motifs de ses écrits antérieurs, l'écrivain marocain Mohamed Leftah (1946-2008) explore le thème du deuil à travers le récit d'un narrateur qui cherche à reconstituer
l'histoire de son enfant mort-né qu'il avait jadis abandonné. Partant d'une lecture attentive du texte, le présent article analyse la représentation du deuil périnatal en s'appuyant sur des références théoriques et d'autres expériences
littéraires du deuil (Roland Barthes, Philippe Forest, Camille Laurens). La première partie de l'article éclaire l'ambivalence du deuil périnatal en révélant les aspects de la quête identitaire qui le sous-tend dans le roman de Leftah. La deuxième
partie s'intéresse aux difficultés qui entravent cette quête ainsi qu'aux variations spatiotemporelles mises en oeuvre par l'auteur dans une tentative de résister au topos obsessif de la perte. Enfin, la troisième partie interroge la capacité
de l'écriture, qu'elle soit mise en abyme ou portée par le pouvoir de la fiction, à élever une sépulture vivante qui répond à la fois à la perte de l'enfant et au désir d'écriture de soi.
The Trauma of Child Death: The Discourse of Mourning in Camille Laurens's and Laure Adler's Autobiographical Writings
Authors: Havercroft Barbara
Published: December 2019

This article addresses a noteworthy development in French women's autobiographical texts of the extreme contemporary: the painful writing of mourning subsequent to the traumatic death of a child. Trauma theorists such as Cathy Caruth, Susan Brison, Shoshana Felman, and Dori Laub insist
on the importance of the narration of the traumatic experience in the form of a 'meaningful [...] story' (Caruth, 1996: 117) enabling the object of the trauma to become the subject of her own story, and thus effecting a transformation of her status from passive victim to agential subject.
If, however, trauma is beyond words and 'unspeakable' (in both senses of the adjective), how can one find the adequate discursive means to represent it, how can one transform the traumatic experience into a narrative? Drawing on theories of trauma and mourning, the article analyzes the ways
in which two contemporary French writers, Laure Adler and Camille Laurens, deal with this daunting discursive dilemma, following the passing of their respective infants. Using various textual strategies, Adler and Laurens both succeed in narrating poignant accounts of loss, producing in each
case a 'livre-tombeau' which is simultaneously a book of death and a book of life, allowing the deceased infant to live on through the writing of the trauma of mourning.
Donner corps à la perte: Figures du deuil parental dans Puisque rien ne dure de Laurence Tardieu
Authors: Hugueny-Léger Elise
Published: December 2019

Cet article analyse les stratégies narratives mises en place par Laurence Tardieu dans le roman Puisque rien ne dure (2008), en les confrontant à des approches théoriques sur le deuil et le traumatisme (Barthes, Caruth, Derrida, Forest, Freud, Lussier). En
relatant deux occurrences de deuil (la disparition d'une petite fille, puis la mort de sa mère quinze ans plus tard), ce texte recourt à des dispositifs d'énonciation multiples (pluralité de voix, citations, journal intime) et à des temporalités superposées
qui soulignent la permanence du deuil. Puisque rien ne dure permet d'évaluer l'impact du deuil sur le couple qui se sépare, tiraillé entre amnésie et excès de mémoire, et d'aborder la spécificité d'un deuil parental rendu encore
plus difficile quand le corps de l'enfant n'est pas retrouvé. In fine, cet article suggère qu'en représentant le deuil parental dans un espace romanesque et non autobiographique, Tardieu utilise la latitude de la fiction pour penser le deuil et lui donner une forme,
à travers les possibilités créatrices du texte littéraire, et du corps maternel.
Single-cell modeling of routine clinical blood tests reveals transient dynamics of human response to blood loss
Authors: Chaudhury Anwesha , Miller Geoff D , Eichner Daniel , Higgins John M
Published: December 2019

Low blood count is a fundamental disease state and is often an early sign of illnesses including infection, cancer, and malnutrition, but our understanding of the homeostatic response to blood loss is limited, in part by coarse interpretation of blood measurements. Many common clinical blood tests actually include thousands of single-cell measurements. We present an approach for modeling the unsteady-state population dynamics of the human response to controlled blood loss using these clinical measurements of single-red blood cell (RBC) volume and hemoglobin. We find that the response entails (1) increased production of new RBCs earlier than is currently detectable clinically and (2) a previously unrecognized decreased RBC turnover. Both component responses offset the loss of blood. The model provides a personalized dimensionless ratio that quantifies the balance between increased production and delayed clearance for each individual and may enable earlier detection of both blood loss and the response it elicits.
Crl activates transcription by stabilizing active conformation of the master stress transcription initiation factor

Published: December 2019

σS is a master transcription initiation factor that protects bacterial cells from various harmful environmental stresses including antibiotic pressure. Although its mechanism remains unclear, it is known that full activation of σS-mediated transcription requires a σS-specific activator, Crl. In this study, we determined a 3.80 Å cryo-EM structure of an Escherichia coli transcription activation complex (E. coli Crl-TAC) comprising E. coli σS-RNA polymerase (σS-RNAP) holoenzyme, Crl, and a nucleic-acid scaffold. The structure reveals that Crl interacts with domain 2 of σS (σS2) and the RNAP core enzyme, but does not contact promoter DNA. Results from subsequent hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) indicate that Crl stabilizes key structural motifs within σS2 to promote the assembly of the σS-RNAP holoenzyme and also to facilitate formation of an RNA polymerase–promoter DNA open complex (RPo). Our study demonstrates a unique DNA contact-independent mechanism of transcription activation, thereby defining a previously unrecognized mode of transcription activation in cells.
