“Nós, deuses no exílio!”: Heine, Nietzsche e os “erros” do homem sobre si mesmo*
Authors: Kaufmann Sebastian
Published: June 2020

Resumo A partir da concepção de que filosofia, para Nietzsche, é a arte da transfiguração, o texto analisa como Nietzsche incorpora e transfigura Os deuses no exílio, de Heinrich Heine. Nietzsche teria invertido a perspectiva do problema posto por Heine, bem como o seu procedimento expositivo: se o poeta traz o que seria uma humanização e aburguesamento dos antigos deuses como ato de degradação cósmica pelo qual a ascensão do cristianismo seria culpada, Nietzsche analisa a equivocada autodivinização do homem por meio da moral como megalomania trágica, cuja consequência seria a invocação do sofrimento da existência terrena e a esperança numa vida melhor, supraterrena.

Çıplak Bedenin Kamusal Alanda Eleştiri Nesnesi Olarak Kullanımı: Spencer Tunick’in Enstalasyonları
Authors: TATAR Onur
Published: June 2020

Sanat yapıtında çıplak beden, sanatsal ifade biçimleri var olduğu günden beri kullanılan bir temadır. Toplumsal açıdan, cinsellikle ilişkilendirilen insanın çıplak olma hali, kamusal alanda sergilenmesi gereken bir davranıştan ziyade bireyin özel alanıyla ilgilidir. Diğer yandan farklı sınıfsal ve düşünsel yapıdan insanların bir araya gelerek fikir paylaşımında bulundukları ve bundan dolayı da demokratik toplumların eleştirisi için bir aracı olarak görülen kamusal alan, tıpkı bedende olduğu gibi yasalar ve ahlak kurallarının denetimi altındadır. Bununla birlikte kamusal alandan ziyade bireyin özel alanına ait bir davranış olarak çıplaklık, kendisini sanatsal ifade biçimlerinde meşru kılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda çıplaklık, erotizm ve pornografi kavramlarıyla ilişkilidir. Diğer yandan dünyanın farklı yerlerinde kamusal alanlarda enstalasyonlar düzenleyen Spencer Tunick’in çalışmalarındaki çıplak beden kullanımı, bu tartışmalı kavramlardan soyutlanmış ve toplumsal yargıları, cinsiyet politikalarını ya da çevre kirliliği gibi konuları eleştiren bir bakış açısı barındırmaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışmada; Spencer Tunick’in Meksika, İsrail ve Avusturalya’da gerçekleştirdiği enstalasyonlar üzerinden fotoğraf sanatında eleştiri nesnesi olarak çıplak beden kullanımının ortaya konulması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda amaca yönelik örneklem yoluyla belirlenmiş üç çalışma betimsel analiz yöntemiyle incelenmektedir.
Imprecise sensitivity analysis of system reliability based on the Bayesian network and probability box
Authors: Liang He , Mi Jinhua , Bai Libing , Cheng Yuhua
Published: June 2020

Sensitivity analysis measures how changes in system inputs affect outputs. Previously, a large amount of sensitivity analysis research was relevant to the precise probability that is regarded as an ideal condition of engineering. Due to insufficient test samples
and the low accuracy of test data, system reliability with hybrid uncertainty is difficult to be described as a precise value. As a
profusion of highly integrated electromechanical equipment is applied in modern life, it is impossible to apply sufficient resources
to eliminate the stochastic property of every component, which necessitates the identification of highly sensitive components to
efficiently reduce imprecision. Hence, based on the theory of imprecise probability, imprecise sensitivity analysis has become a
popular research topic in the last decade. In this paper, a method for uncertain system reliability and imprecise sensitivity analysis
is proposed based on a Bayesian network, a probability box and the pinching method. The feasibility and accuracy of the combined
method are fully verified through the evaluation and analysis of a numerical example and a case study of an electromechanical
system, and the highly sensitive components that heavily influence the imprecision of system outputs are accurately identified.
An artificial neural network model supported with multi criteria decision making approaches for maintenance planning in hydroelectric power plants
Authors: Özcan Evrencan , Danışan Tuğba , Yumuşak Rabia , Eren Tamer
Published: June 2020

Power plants are the large-scale production facilities with the main purpose of realizing uninterrupted, reliable, efficient, economic and environmentally friendly energy generation. Maintenance is one of the critical factors in achieving these comprehensive goals, which are called as sustainable energy supply. The maintenance processes carried out in order to ensure sustainable energy supply in the power plants should be managed due to the costs arising from time requirement, the use of material and labor, and the loss of generation. In this respect, it is critical that the fault dates are forecasted, and maintenance is performed without failure in power plants consisting of thousands of equipment. In this context in this study, the maintenance planning problem for equipment with high criticality level is handled in one of the large-scale hydroelectric power plants that meet the quintile of Turkey’s energy demand as of the end of 2018. In the first stage, the evaluation criteria determined by the power plant experts are weighted by the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is an accepted method in the literature, in order to determine the criticality levels of the equipment in terms of power plant at the next stage. In order to obtain the final priority ranking of the equipment in terms of power plant within the scope of these weights, Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is used because of its advantages compared to other outranking algorithms. As a result of this solution, for the 14 main equipment groups with the highest criticality level determined on the basis of the power plant, periods between two breakdowns are estimated, and maintenance planning is performed based on these periods. In the estimation phase, an artificial neural network (ANN) model has been established by using 11-years fault data for selected equipment groups and the probable fault dates are estimated by considering a production facility as a system without considering the sector for the first time in the literature. With the plan including the maintenance activities that will be carried out before the determined breakdown dates, increasing the generation efficiency, extending the economic life of the power plant, minimizing the generation costs, maximizing the plant availability rate and maximizing profit are aimed. The maintenance plan is implemented for 2 years in the power plant and the unit shutdowns resulting from the selected equipment groups are not met and the mentioned goals are reached.

Authors: Rodrigues Joao , Costa Ines , Farinha J. , Mendes Mateus , Margalho Luis
Published: June 2020

The safety and performance of engines such as Diesel, gas or even wind turbines depends on the quality and condition of the
lubricant oil. Assessment of engine oil condition is done based on more than twenty variables that have, individually, variations
that depend on the engines’ behaviour, type and other factors. The present paper describes a model to automatically classify the
oil condition, using Artificial Neural Networks and Principal Component Analysis. The study was done using data obtained from
two passenger bus companies in a country of Southern Europe. The results show the importance of each variable monitored for
determining the ideal time to change oil. In many cases, it may be possible to enlarge intervals between maintenance interventions,
while in other cases the oil passed the ideal change point.

Polyhedral+Dataflow Graphs
Authors: Davis Eddie C.
Published: June 2020

This research presents an intermediate compiler representation that is designed
for optimization, and emphasizes the temporary storage requirements and execution
schedule of a given computation to guide optimization decisions. The representation
is expressed as a dataflow graph that describes computational statements and data
mappings within the polyhedral compilation model. The targeted applications include
both the regular and irregular scientific domains.

The intermediate representation can be integrated into existing compiler infrastructures.
A specification language implemented as a domain specific language in C++ describes the
graph components and the transformations that can be applied. The visual representation
allows users to reason about optimizations. Graph variants can be translated into source
code or other representation. The language, intermediate representation, and associated
transformations have been applied to improve the performance of differential equation
solvers, or sparse matrix operations, tensor decomposition, and structured multigrid methods.
Low-Cost Test and Characterization Platform for Memristors
Authors: Jones Lyle
Published: June 2020

The electrical Testing and Characterization of the devices built under research conditions
on silicon wafers, diced wafers, or package parts have hampered research since the beginning
of integrated circuits. The challenges of performing electrical characterization on devices
are to acquire useful and accurate data, the ease of use of the test platform, the portability
of the test equipment, the ability to automate quickly, to allow modifications to the platform,
the ability to change the configuration of the Device Under Test (DUT) or the Memristor Based
Design (MBD), and to do this within budget. The devices that this research is focused on are
memristors with unique test challenges. Some of the tests performed on memristors are Voltage
sweeps, pulsing of Voltages, and threshold Voltages. Standard methods of testing memristors
usually require hands-on experience, multiple bulky work stations, and hours of training.

This work reports a novel, low-cost, portable test and characterization platform for many types
of memristors with a voltage range from -10V to +10V, which is portable, low-cost, built with
off-the-shelf components, and with configurability through software and hardware. To demonstrate
the performance of the platform, the platform was able to take a virgin memristor from “forming”
to operation voltages, and then incrementally change resistances by Voltage Pulsing. The platform
within this work allows the researcher flexibility in electrical characterization by being able
to accept many memristor types and MBDs, and applying environmental conditions to the MBD, with
this flexibility of the platform the productivity of the researcher will increase.
The Effects of South Africa's Unexpected Monetary Policy Shocks in the Common Monetary Area
Authors: Seoela Bonang N.
Published: June 2020

The Common Monetary Area (CMA) is a multilateral agreement that provides a framework
for a fixed exchange rate regime between the South-African Rand and the currencies of
Lesotho, Eswatini, and Namibia (LEN). The nature of the arrangement restrains the LEN
countries from exercising independent discretionary monetary policy. As a result, they
must rely on the South African authorities for policy formulation and implementation.
Interest rates in the LEN countries cannot deviate too far from those in South Africa.
Given this limited scope for monetary policy in the LEN countries, this study investigates
how each member country adjusts to shocks to the South African monetary policy instrument.
Specifically, this paper uses a structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) model to examine
how economic output, inflation, narrow money supply, domestic credit, and lending rate spread
in each member country react to shocks experienced in the South African repo rate using monthly
data from the period 2000M2 to 2018M12. The main findings indicate that a positive shock to the
South African repo rate tends to be followed by a decline in economic output and an appreciation
in price levels at the 90 percent confidence interval for all CMA countries. Our results have
also shown that there is an asymmetric response in money supply, domestic credit and lending rate
spread between the LEN countries and South Africa, to a positive repo rate shock. These results
suggest that policymakers in LEN countries must implement additional policy measures to circumvent
the negative impact of South Africa's monetary policy on their financial sectors.

Handwashing: a household social vaccine against COVID 19 and multiple communicable diseases
Authors: Parida Swayam Pragyan , Bhatia Vikas
Published: June 2020

Handwashing is the most cost-effective measure for prevention of a wide spectrum of diseases from respiratory, intestinal, soil transmitted helminthiasis, health-care associated illness to infection with pandemic potential like SARS, MERS and COVID 19. Experts view that handwashing can be the greatest investment in the mankind as it reduces under nutrition, morbidity, mortality and paves way for growth, development, educational attainment of people and thereby achieving healthier communities. Though the evidence of handwashing on health is two centuries old but change in human behaviour seems critical in both developing and developed countries. Hand hygiene is rarely practiced during crucial moments and even rarely soap is used. Therefore emphasis should be given towards a societal shift in behaviour change among children, caretakers and people of all age groups. Every school, community and hospital should be provided with Safe water, Sanitation and adequate Hygiene (WASH) services. Hand hygiene to be given top priority in national health plans by which millions of unnecessary deaths and burden on health care system can be avoided. Nevertheless under the looming threat of the current COVID 19 pandemic, where the exact epidemiology is still evolving and a vaccine doesn’t seem feasible as an immediate measure to control the disease, handwashing should be considered as a ‘social vaccine’ for everyone at every household level.

Authors: Szymański Andrzej
Published: June 2020

W artykule Leon Powolny. Bohater walki o polskość Śląska Opolskiego czy defraudant? ukazano jeden z mniej znanych epizodów z życia tego zasłużonego bojownika o polskość Śląska Opolskiego. Powolny – jak wskazują na to materiały źródłowe – był także złodziejem, defraudantem, który okradł bank, w którym pracował. Przez niemiecki wymiar sprawiedliwości skazany został na karę więzienia i tę najprawdopodobniej odbył. Po czym dalej funkcjonował w ruchu mniejszościowym na eksponowanych stanowiskach, był dowódcą struktur konspiracyjnych podczas II wojny światowej i zginął śmiercią męczeńską w niemieckim więzieniu w Brandenburgu, gdzie ścięto mu głowę toporem. Na pytanie, jak można było pogodzić te dwie postawy, autor z pokorą odpowiada: nie wiem! Być może szerzej zakrojone badania archiwalne pozwolą odpowiedzieć na tak postawione pytanie.

Authors: Santos Marcos Igor da Costa , Leite Filho Paulo Amilton Maia , Santos Maria Luiza da Costa
Published: June 2020

Os estudos sobre absenteísmo se tornam importante devido à necessidade de compreender como os cultos ocultos afetam os resultados das organizações e os mecanismos que podem ser implementados para obter melhores respostas. O presente trabalho tem a finalidade de analisar o absenteísmo, enquanto um tipo de custo oculto, a partir das categorias (patologia, setor de trabalho, cargo); do índice anual; e, do custo do absenteísmo, em uma Instituição de ensino público, no período de 2015 a 2017. Tais informações foram obtidas por meio dos relatórios gerais, relativos aos períodos de 2015 a 2017. Ainda, foram utilizados os Relatórios Anuais de Gestão do IFPB, acessados na página oficial da instituição. Os dados foram tratados com estatísticas descritivas e foram analisadas as categorias de absenteísmo para verificar os índices e custo oculto gerado para a instituição. Com base nos resultados, ficou evidenciado que o acumulado de servidores afastados é ocasionado por fatores decorrentes do estado de saúde dos próprios servidores ou para acompanhamento de pessoa da família, como doenças ocasionadas por infecções virais, transtornos mentais e comportamentais. Quanto ao Índice de Absenteísmo Anual foi constatado que ultrapassa o valor previsto pela Associação Internacional de Medicina do Trabalho e, portanto, é considerado inaceitável. Em relação aos custos ocultos com absenteísmo, constatou-se que os custos ocultos com docentes sobressaíram em relação aos custos ocultos com técnicos-administrativos.

Scholarly Inbreeding in Latin American Academically Managed Journals
Authors: Krauskopf Erwin
Published: June 2020

From a bibliometric perspective, scholarly inbreeding has been identified in journals through the excessive use of both author and journal self-citations. However, editorial bias toward researchers from the same institution as the editorial management team has seldom been considered. According to the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology, this occurs when a journal publishes more than 20% of documents authored by researchers affiliated with the same institution as the editorial management team. The purpose of this study is to establish the extent to which 81 Latin American journals managed by universities publish intramural documents (defined as those published by its own faculties). Results revealed that 56% of Brazilian journals were not compliant with the 20% benchmark as well as 44% of Colombian journals, 50% of Chilean journals, and 71% of Mexican journals. Interestingly, one third of these journals published the majority of the documents in English. By examining the documents published by these journals and subsequent citations to these articles, it was established that the intramural documents of some journals registered a higher ratio of citations per document in comparison with extramural documents published in the same journals. The results presented in this study provide evidence of inbreeding in some academically managed journals from Latin America. Although no one specific reason can account for this phenomenon, plausible explanations are given that may contribute to its understanding.

Authors: Yaghmaian Rana , Iwanaga Kanako , Grenawalt Teresa Ann , Reling James , Brickham Dana , Chan Fong
Published: June 2020

Background

Participation is one of the most important interdisciplinary outcome variables in biopsychosocial conceptions of health and disability. While the literature surrounding social and community participation in persons with disabilities indicates that participation is a highly subjective construct, there are few known psychometrically validated instruments designed to measure participation in a way that captures the subjective nature of the concept. The present study aimed to develop and test a measure of participation in a way that prioritizes roles that are subjectively meaningful to the individual.

Objective

To establish the psychometric properties of the Meaningful Role Functioning Questionnaire (MRFQ) a new life role participation scale intended to measure life role functioning in a way that weighs life roles that are more important to the individual more heavily than those that are less important to the individual.

Methods

229 women with fibromyalgia took an online survey measuring the following biopsychosocial constructs: meaningful role functioning, participation in society, perceived social support, core self-evaluations, fibromyalgia severity, and life satisfaction.

Findings

The 4-week test-retest reliability coefficient for the MRFQ was .74, indicating acceptable reliability for this measure of life role functioning. The MRFQ was significantly correlated in the expected directions with several external correlates, establishing its construct validity.

Conclusions

The MRFQ is a reliable and valid subjective measure of life role functioning in women with fibromyalgia. Future research should seek to validate the scale in a wider range of disability populations and the general public.

Authors: Widjaja Daniel Anugerah
Published: June 2020

The US Navy has become one of the primary arms of US power projection, deployed worldwide and possessing high mobility. On the other hand, Hollywood cinema has been one of the hallmarks of US cultural soft power. During the time that Hollywood cinema has existed, the US Navy has appeared multiple times within the film art form. However, almost no literature exists that seeks to examine these films as vessels for the social construction of ideas around the US Navy. This research uses interpretive social science and constructivism to explore the themes contained within naval films. It argues that these films help construct an image of a mobile and highly competent navy serving a righteous cause. It also argues the constitutive effects the film has on its audience. 

BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK: Tersebar di seluruh dunia dan memiliki mobilitas yang sangat tinggi, Angkatan Laut AS adalah salah satu instrumen militer utama yang digunakan untuk mencerminkan kekuatan Amerika Serikat. Karya film Hollywood merupakan salah satu titik unggul kekuasaan lunak (softpower) budaya Amerika Serikat. Angkatan Laut AS banyak tampil dalam karya film Hollywood dari awal produksi perfilman tersebut. Namun, tidak banyak literatur akademik yang menelaah karya film tersebut sebagai sarana konstruksi sosial mengenai citra yang menyangkut Angkatan Laut AS. Penelitian ini menggunakan ilmu sosial interpretatif dan konstruktivisme untuk mengeksplorasi tema-tema yang ada dalam film-film ber-genre angkatan laut. Karya tulis ini juga bertujuan untuk menunjukan bahwa karya-karya tersebut mendukung pencitraan Angkatan Laut AS sebagai kesatuan yang sangat kompeten dan gesit dalam menjalankan tugas dengan nilai moral. Pada akhirnya, penelitian ini berusaha menunjukan efek konstitutif bagi penonton dari film-film tersebut, dan bagaimana hal ini dapat menunjang pencitraan antar-subyektif antara Angkatan Laut dan penonton.

Caritas Education: Theory to Practice
Authors: Rossillo Kim , Norman Vivian , Wickman Mary , Winokur Elizabeth
Published: June 2020

Increasingly complex occupational demands along with varied educational and personal examples of caring, may impact the ability to deeply connect with patients. Literature has identified that nurses and patients have differing perceptions of caring behaviors. Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring provides a framework for care delivery that focuses on the caring nurse–patient relationship and the experience through the patients' lens.

Caring healing relationships are at the core of professional nursing. The purpose of this project was to design and deliver an educational seminar based on Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring to newly graduated nurses to examine the impact on self-efficacy in caring behaviors.

The project participants (N = 56) consisted of a nonprobability convenience sample of newly graduated nurses at a local faith-based community hospital. The educational intervention consisted of experiential learning activities to facilitate translating theory to practice. The study utilized the Caring Efficacy Scale (CES), which is an instrument based on Watson's caring theory and Albert Bandura's self-efficacy theory. Results demonstrated a significant improvement in caring efficacy between the preintervention (M = 5.1, SD = .47), and immediate post intervention (M = 5.5, SD = .38); t (52) = −9.09, p = .000.

The knowledge from this study could provide insights for the development of effective teaching strategies to facilitate translating nursing theory to practice. Establishing and developing skills to facilitate nurturing, caring nurse–patient relationships may enhance both the patient and caregiver experience.
Unconscious Bias and the Impacts on Caring: The Role of the Clinical Nursing Instructor
Authors: Crandlemire Lynn A.
Published: June 2020

Unconscious (implicit) biases are automatic, normal, learned stereotypes that develop over time and are deeply ingrained. Substantial evidence reveals that unconscious biases held by healthcare providers affect interactions and decision-making, particularly in high-stress situations, and contribute to healthcare disparities. Becoming aware of our own unconscious bias and utilizing strategies to minimize these attitudes and feelings can positively impact patient care. This article outlines unconscious bias in healthcare and nursing and its relation to caring. Strategies are suggested for clinical nursing instructors (CNIs) to provide education to student nurses that promotes awareness.

Authors: Singer Rebecca , Kruse Kathryn , Swart Susan
Published: June 2020

Nurses' exposure to suffering reduces professional quality of life, negatively impacting patient outcomes, decreasing retention, and weakening the workforce. Tell Well is a creative writing workshop designed to address Professional Quality of Life. Through improvisation, text analysis, writing, and peer-critique, nine registered nurses built a writing practice that can be a self-care tool. A survey measured the extent to which participants integrated writing into their life and their perception of how their relationship with work changed. Tell Well honored nurses' experiences, provided a forum for them to express themselves and their experiences, and encouraged nurses to engage in self-care and discovery.
Patient Participation in Nursing Homes: A Meta-Synthesis Review
Authors: Høyvik Elin , Rehnsfeldt Arne
Published: June 2020

The aim of this study is to gain insight, from a caring science perspective, regarding what patient participation means to older residents in nursing homes. Patient participation must be safeguarded by nurses, but this cannot be done without considering the patient's point of view. The research question is as follows: What does patient participation mean to elderly nursing home residents from a caring science perspective? Using a meta-synthesis approach, seven primary studies are chosen for a hermeneutical analysis. The following subcategories stand out: “I want to be seen and heard,” “I depend upon others,” and “I want to decide myself.” With these findings, a caring science ontology became apparent: Dignity, interdependence, and autonomy are necessary in order to facilitate patient participation.

La conformation des carcasses est considérée par les différents acteurs de la filière ovine comme un critère important de la qualité. La grille de paiement des animaux se fonde en partie sur ce critère d’évaluation visuel. Cependant, ce critère est souvent sujet à controverse d’une part à cause de sa relative subjectivité, d’autre part à cause de la faiblesse de sa valeur prédictive pour le rendement en muscle. Les objectifs de cet article sont de présenter des résultats sur la signification biologique de la conformation et d’évaluer le degré de fiabilité de la mesure globale de conformation notamment pour l’amélioration génétique des qualités bouchères. Ce travail est une synthèse des résultats obtenus dans trois études indépendantes, fondées chacune sur la comparaison de deux types génétiques, l’un avec une bonne conformation, l’autre avec une conformation médiocre. La conformation est le reflet de la morphologie musculaire, plus particulièrement de l’épaisseur des muscles. L’augmentation d’épaisseur des muscles individuels est différentielle selon leur situation anatomique. L’amélioration de la conformation correspond à une augmentation du rendement de carcasse et du rendement musculaire. Le rapport du poids de muscle sur le poids d’os est augmenté. Cela correspond à une diminution du pourcentage d’os et parfois à une augmentation du pourcentage de muscle. Le plus souvent les muscles individuels ont une répartition pondérale différentielle sur les segments de carcasse. L’adiposité n’augmente pas avec la conformation. L’augmentation des épaisseurs musculaires s’accompagne d’un glissement des caractéristiques contractiles vers des isoformes de myosine de type rapide. Enfin, ces études ont montré que certains caractères biologiques sont davantage des caractères raciaux que la conséquence d’une différence de conformation.

An analytical and cartographic method of biomass distribution and plant formations at a multi-scalar level is developed based on bioclimatic variables extracted from the Thornthwaite Water Balance (WB) and the Bioclimatic Balances (BB) of Montero de Burgos & González Rebollar. As a result, a distribution map involving Types of Bioclimatic Regimens (TBR) is obtained leading to the identification of a multi-scale classification at different levels: zonal (macro-scale) with 5 types, regional (meso-scale) with 27 types, and local (micro-scale) with 162 plant formations subtypes, conditioned by lithology-soils, the relief exposure to wind or sunstroke respectively and obtained through the combination of TBR and ombroclimates.

Background: Prescription of second-generation antipsychotic drugs (SGAs) to childhood/adolescent has exponentially increased in recent years, which was associated with the greater risk of significant weight gain and dyslipidemia. Statin is considered a potential preventive and treatment approach for reducing SGA-induced weight gain and dyslipidemia in schizophrenia patients. However, the effect of statin treatment in children and adolescents with SGA-induced dyslipidemia is not clearly demonstrated. Methods: To investigate the efficacy of statin interventions for reversing SGA-induced dyslipidemia, young Sprague Dawley rats were treated orally with either olanzapine (1.0 mg/kg, t.i.d .), simvastatin (3.0 mg/kg, t.i.d .), olanzapine plus simvastatin (O+S), or vehicle (control) for 5 weeks.Results: Olanzapine treatment increased weight gain, food intake and feeding efficiency compared to the control, while O+S co-treatment significantly reversed body weight gain but without significant effects on food intake. Moreover, olanzapine treatment induced a slight but significant reduction in body temperature, with a decrease in locomotor activity. Fasting plasma glucose, triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) levels were markedly elevated in the olanzapine-only group, whereas O+S co-treatment significantly ameliorated these changes. Pronounced activation of lipogenic gene expression in the liver and down-regulated expression of uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) and peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor-γ co-activator-1α (PGC-1α) in brown adipose tissue (BAT) was observed in the olanzapine-only group. Interestingly, these protein changes could be reversed by co-treatment with O+B. Conclusions: Simvastatin is effective in ameliorating TC and TG elevated by olanzapine. Modulation of BAT activity by statins could be a partial mechanism in reducing metabolic side effects caused by SGAs in child and adolescent patients.

Background: T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing molecule-3 (Tim-3) has been recognized as a promising target for cancer immunotherapy, but its exact role in breast cancer has not been fully elucidated. Methods: The gene expression level of Tim-3 in breast cancer and its prognostic significance were analysed. In vitro functions and associated mechanisms were then explored through establishing Tim-3 overexpressing breast cancer cells.Results: The gene expression level of Tim-3 was significantly higher (p<0.001) in breast cancer tissue compared to normal tissue following pooled analysis of TCGA database. Tim-3 was a prognosis indicator in breast cancer patients as shown by KM-plotter (RFS: p=0.004; OS: p=0.099). Overexpression of the Tim-3 in Tim-3low breast cancer cells promoted aggressiveness of breast cancer cells including proliferation, migration, invasion, tight junction deterioration and tumour-associated tubal formation. Furthermore, Tim-3 enhanced cellular resistance to paclitaxel. Tim-3 exerted its function by activating the NF-κB/STAT3 signalling pathway, and mediating gene regulation (upregulating CCND1, C-Myc, MMP1, TWIST, VEGF while downregulating E-cadherin). Additionally, Tim-3 downregulated tight junction molecules: ZO-2, ZO-1 and Occludin, which might further facilitate the tumour progression. Conclusions: Tim-3 plays a tumour-promoting role in breast cancer, which suggests targeting Tim-3 may acquire a clinical benefit in antitumor therapy.

Spodoptera litura is one of the most devastating agricultural pests with a wide range of host plants. To study larval performance on different diets and midgut adaptation at transcriptional levels, feeding assay and RNA-Seq experiments were conducted. RNA interference technology was used to explore the detoxification and metabolism of two cytochrome P450 genes. The bioassay data showed that S. litura larvae developed more quickly when fed on cabbage than when fed on soybean, corn and cotton, tannin can inhibit the growth of S. litura . The result of RNA-Seq indicated that S. litura midgut modified gene expression levels to accommodate different diets, and the most differentially expressed genes were detoxification-related and digestion-related genes . Further analysis showed that the glutathione metabolism pathway was the common detoxification pathway in S. litura. The expression of cytochrome P450 genes showed a clear response to different plant hosts, and these differences may play key functions in primary detoxification of secondary metabolites from host plants. Meanwhile, the digestive enzymes of proteinases, lipases, and carbohydrases in midgut showed special responses to different plant hosts. After injection of dsRNA of CYP321A19 and CYP6AB60 , the expression level of target gene were decreased, and the sensitivity of insect to plant allelochemicals increased and the weight increase significantly slowed. In this study, genes involved in detoxification were identified, and the results demonstrate the genes and pathways S. litura utlize to detoxify specific plant-host allelochemicals. These results may also provide a theoretical basis for S. litura management.

In this paper, short-carbon-fibers (Csf) reinforced Ti3SiC2 matrix composites (Csf/Ti3SiC2 , the Csf content was 0, 2, 5 and 10 vol.%) were fabricated by spark-plasma-sintering (SPS) using Ti3SiC2 powders and Csf as starting materials at 1300 ℃. The effects of Csf addition on the phase compositions, microstructures and mechanical properties (including hardness, flexural strength and fracture toughness) of Csf/Ti3SiC2 composites were investigated. The Csf, with a bi-layered transition layers, i.e. TiC and SiC layer, were homogeneously distributed in the as-prepared Csf /Ti3SiC2 composites. With the increase of Csf content, the fracture toughness of Csf/Ti3SiC2 composites increased, but the flexural strength decreased, while the Vickers hardness decreased initially then increased steadily when the Csf content was higher than 2 vol.%. These changed performances could be attributed to the introduction of Csf and the formation of much stronger interfacial phases.
