Fusion cross-sections for deuterium cycle fusion reactors (D-cycle): an analysis of geometric, Gamow-Sommerfeld and astrophysical S-factors
Authors: Ramos-Pascual Miguel
Published: November 2020

Fusion reactions in the deuterium cycle (D+D, D+T and D+3He) are the main nucleus-nucleus interactions which occur in tokamaks and stellerators. These reactions are the limiting case between the Woods-Saxon potential field at nuclear distances and the Coulomb electrostatic potential (scattering) at longer distances. In this paper several fusion cross-sections, geometric, Gamow-Sommerfeld and astrophysical S-factors have been reviewed and compared with experimental data from the last ENDF/B-VIII.0 cross-section library. The XDC-fusion code has been developed to calculate fusion cross-sections, geometric, Gamow-Sommerfeld and S-factors of the deuterium-cycle (D-cycle), including resonance parameters (energy and partial width). The software estimates also fusion reaction heat (Q) and Woods-Saxon/Coulomb proximity potentials. Although relative differences between fusion cross-sections are lower than 5 %, S-factors present considerable differences between the energies and partial width (FWHM) of the single-level Breit-Wigner (SLBW) resonances. The energy at which is placed the maximum fusion cross-section is also different between cases. In conclusion, fusion reaction models for light nuclei (deuterium, tritium and helium) should be reviewed in order to apply fusion to energy production in safety conditions.
The paired related homeobox 1 (PRRX1) is differentially expressed in metastatic breast cancer, both in metastases to the brain and to the lymph nodes.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that paired related homeobox 1, encoded by PRRX1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the metastatic tumor tissues of patients with metastatic breast cancer, both in metastases to brain and to the lymph nodes when compared to primary tumors of the breast. Molecular functions and down-regulation of PRRX1 may be important for metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells to the lymph nodes and to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer, and suggests some level of common origin for metastases that reside in the lymph nodes and colonize the brain.

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that biglycan, encoded by BGN, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of with patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Interestingly, biglycan was also among the genes most differentially expressed transcriptome-wide when comparing primary tumors of the breast to normal breast tissue. We observed significant down-regulation of biglycan in metastasis to the brain. Molecular functions and down-regulation of BGN may be important for metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer, and suggests a role for changes in biglycan expression during a spectrum of transformation from benign tissue of the breast, primary tumor and finally to metastasis of the brain.
The role of antibodies in the light of the theory of evolution
Authors: Banoun Helene
Published: November 2020

The phenomenon of facilitation of viral infections by antibodies (ADE antibody dependent enhancement) as well as the resistance of agammaglobulinemia patients to certain viruses are in contradiction with the protective role of antibodies affirmed by classical immunology. This must be compared to the opsonizing antibodies that promote the specific phagocytosis of extra-cellular bacteria. However, questions about the role of antibodies have been raised since the beginning of the history of immunology. More recently, Pierre Sonigo has shed light on the contradictions between the finalist interpretation of the role of lymphocytes and the theory of evolution: how can it be explained that cells are selected to protect the organism they constitute? The role of anti-viral and anti-intracellular bacteria antibodies could be to allow phagocytosis by the cells: either directly by the Fc fragment of immunoglobulins, or via the complement for many cell types. This makes it easy to understand the selection of antibody- secreting cells. Natural selection favors the cells that produce the most affine Ig and thus guides the maturation of the proB cell to the plasma cell. A review of recent publications in theoretical immunology is consistent with this hypothesis. The theory of evolution should be integrated at every level of research and teaching in immunology, as it is for biology as a whole.
On the elusive anti-bayerite structure
Authors: Antipas Georgios S.E.
Published: November 2020

Sequential deprotonation of the Cr3+ hexahydrate in an alkaline environment up to the stage of a charge-neutral active hydroxide was studied via density functional theory. The deprotonation could be characterized as autocatalytic since upon completion of every H-abstraction stage, Cr was found to mediate O-H dissociation in the next stage by pre-conditioning the ligand O atom that contributes the highest 2s density into Cr-4s based molecular orbitals; the latter amounts to a greater Cr-O distance due to increased charge density along the Cr-O axis. A direct effect of such Cr-4s/O-2s mixing is the reduction of electronegativity of the ligand-O atom and a corresponding high Voronoi deformation density (VDD) of the attached ligand-H atoms. Based on bonding energy decomposition, a facial to meridional isomer ratio of between 2:1 and 3:1 was derived as the most probable stereochemical mix of the active hydroxide; the latter forms, by mutual donation and acceptance, six hydrogen bonds with second hydration shell molecules.

Published: November 2020

This article is specifically about the collection of the Mushaf Bone Aga Khan Swiss Museum. The purpose of writing is to know some important aspects of the Mushaf Bone. (1) Codichological physical characteristics of the mushaf, including calligraphy and illumination, which includes paper, ink, and binding. (2) The text, rasm, and qira'at used. (3) Use of tajwid and waqaf. (4) The writing style used by the recitation of the mushaf. This method of writing is descriptive-analytical. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded several things. First, the Mushaf Bone is one of the Bugis-style illuminations with double frame or stacking in the beginning, middle, and end of the mushaf. Secondly, Mushaf Bone has its distinctive characteristic and uniqueness and can be categorized as a luxurious and impressive mushaf, because every part of the Qur'an is a certain ornamental motif and not the same. Thirdly, Mushaf Bone is comprehensive, because it is supported by the historical aspects and presentation of the writing way, the text includes tajwid, waqaf, qira'at, and visual. Fourth, Mushaf Bone has similarities and differences with a wide collection of manuscripts in Southeast Asia, such as the Mushaf Kedah and the Mushaf Ternate.

Rhythm in dyadic interactions
Authors: de Reus Koen , Soma Masayo , Anichini Mariana , Gamba Marco , de Heer Kloots Marianne , Lense Miriam D , Bruno Julia Hyland , Trainor Laurel , Ravignani Andrea
Published: November 2020

This review paper discusses rhythmic interactions and distinguishes them from non-rhythmic interactions. We report on communicative behaviours in social and sexual contexts, as found in dyads of humans, non-human primates, non-primate mammals, birds, anurans and insects. We discuss observed instances of rhythm in dyadic interactions, identify knowledge gaps and propose suggestions for future research. We find that most studies on rhythmicity in interactive signals mainly focus on one modality (acoustic or visual) and suggest more work should be performed on multimodal signals. Although the social functions of interactive rhythms have been fairly well described, developmental research on rhythms used to regulate social interactions is still lacking. Future work should also focus on identifying the exact timing mechanisms involved. Rhythmic signalling behaviours are widespread and critical in regulating social interactions across taxa, but many questions remain unexplored. A multidisciplinary, comparative cross-species approach may help provide answers.
A Perspective on Mature Gratitude as a Way of Coping with COVID-19
Authors: Jans-Beken Lilian
Published: November 2020

Aim and Method: This perspective searches presents evidence of mature gratitude as a way of coping with the threats and boundaries of COVID-19. This narrative, non-systematic review will be based on studies from the COVID-19 period in association with more general literature on the characteristics of mature gratitude related to good mental health. Results: The results from the literature suggest that a confrontation with our existential vulnerability during a pandemic is not only a crisis but also an opportunity to view our lives in a different way. Mature gratitude, as proposed in this perspective, can help us in coping with the threats and boundaries that are part of our lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This time of crisis gives us the opportunity to self-reflect on our current life and plans for the future and to reframe them through a positive lens which can encourage individuals to actively strengthen their psychological resilience and coping skills.Conclusion: Cultivating an attitude of mature gratitude through actions of kindness, expressing being thankful for life and God, and enjoying all the small things in life helps in coping with the current threats of COVID-19 and building lifelong resilience for the future Knowledge about these associations can help psychologists, counselors, and coaches to support people who experience psychological issues due to the current pandemic and all crises to come.
Maximal positive controls: A method for estimating the largest plausible effect size
Authors: Hilgard Joseph
Published: November 2020

Effect sizes in social psychology are generally not large and are limited by error variance in manipulation and measurement. Effect sizes exceeding these limits are implausible and should be viewed with skepticism. Maximal positive controls, experimental conditions that should show an obvious and predictable effect, can provide estimates of the upper limits of plausible effect sizes on a measure. In this work, maximal positive controls are conducted for three measures of aggressive cognition, and the effect sizes obtained are compared to studies found through systematic review. Questions are raised regarding the plausibility of certain reports with effect sizes comparable to, or in excess of, the effect sizes found in maximal positive controls. Maximal positive controls may provide a means to identify implausible study results at lower cost than direct replication.
Visible and invisible displacement with dynamic visual occlusion in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops spp)
Authors: Johnson Christine , Sullivan Jess , Buck Cara , Trexel Julie , Scarpuzzi Michael
Published: November 2020

Anticipating the location of a temporarily obscured target—what Piaget (the construction of reality in the child. Basic Books, New York, 1954) called ‘‘objectpermanence’’—is a critical skill, especially in hunters of mobile prey. Previous research with bottlenose dolphins found they could predict the location of a target that had been visibly displaced into an opaque container, but not one that was first placed in an opaque container and then invisibly displaced to another container. We tested whether, by altering the task to involve occlusion rather than containment, these animals could show more advanced object permanence skills. We projected dynamic visual displays at an underwater-viewing window and videotaped the animals’ head moves while observing these displays. In Experiment 1, the animals observed a small black disk moving behind occluders that shifted in size, ultimately forming one large occluder. Nine out of ten subjects ‘‘tracked’’ the presumed movement of the disk behind this occluder on their first trial—and in a statistically significant number of subsequent trials—confirming their visible displacement abilities. In Experiment 2, we tested their invisible displacement abilities. The disk first disappeared behind a pair of moving occluders, which then moved behind a stationary occluder. The moving occluders then reappeared and separated, revealing that the disk was no longer behind them. The subjects subsequently looked to the correct stationary occluder on eight of their ten first trials, and in a statistically significant number of subsequent trials. Thus, by altering the stimuli to be more ecologically valid, we were able to show that the dolphins could indeed succeed at an invisible displacement task.
La popularité du film nord-américain représente le chinois
Authors: Setiawan Adib Rifqi
Published: November 2020

Cet article traite des tropes communs et des représentations du peuple chinois et de la culture chinoise dans un film nord-américain populaire. S'appuyant sur des exemples d'homogénéisation des identités asiatiques (de l'Est, du Sud-Est), de l'appropriation des symboles ou des pratiques culturelles chinoises, du visage jaune comme pratique courante pour jouer des personnages asiatiques, et à la fois de l'hyper-masculinisation et de l'émasculation des hommes chinois, cet article soutient que bien qu'il y ait un lent changement à Hollywood pour s'attaquer à ces problèmes, le contexte du racisme anti-chinois est répandu dans l'industrie cinématographique grand public.

Sound health is the main property of each people so first priority should be given to the healthy life. Now, people are gradually becoming conscious about their health because of the various awareness program of Government and non-governmental agencies. Nepal is committed to access to quality health care for all its citizens. So, Government has encouraged the governmental and non-governmental sectors to provide the effective health service for hard to reach people living in the remote areas through different techniques. Health camp is one technique to provide the health service to remote people. The study was conducted among the 98 patients visited health camp organized in Chapagaun, Godavari Municipality, Lalitpur. The health camp had managed many health facilities: General checkup, screening of heart disease and cancer, orthopedic cases, Lab check in to creatinine, blood sugar, TFT, Vit D, Vit B 12 etc. The data was collected from the patient record file of health screening desk. The result shows that the female participation was higher than male attending the health camp for their health checkup. Similarly, age-wise, 41 to 60 years were more than other age group. It is interesting that the heath problem was similar between the male and female so statistically there was no significant association between the male and female regarding the prevalence of different types of diseases because the p value is .927 which is greater than .05 significant level. The further study can be done to identify the causative factors of increasing the risk of disease prevalence.

Transfert ELA-FLS : projet de développement professionnel d’enseignants pour encourager les élèves à transférer leurs apprentissages langagiers
Authors: Quevillon Lacasse1 Claude
Published: November 2020

The Quebec French as a Second Language (FSL) programs explicitly mention the importance of linguistic transfer to develop language competencies. In 2013, the Quebec Ministère de l’Éducation et d l’Enseignement supérieur launched a professional development project to foster student language transfer and to support collaboration between English Language Arts ( ELA) and FSL teachers. In this paper, we present the ELA-FSL Transfer project, which is the result of a didactic transposition of psycholinguistic theories and praxis inspired by research on crosslinguistic pedagogy. We will illustrate two elementary school teachers’ perceptions of their professional development based on a semi-guided interview conducted three years after the project. The teachers affirmed their continued practice of teaching for transfer between the two language subjects. A thematic analysis of the interview transcript was done using the four key elements of the project, namely (1) activating background linguistic knowledge, (2) modelling language learning strategies, (3) reflecting on language, and (4) collaboration between teaching partners.
The Tutor Development Needs of Writing Centre Consultants Working with Undergraduate Students Using English as an Additional Language
Authors: Pilin Maya , Landry Michael Henry , Douglas Scott Roy , Brobbel Amanda
Published: November 2020

Growing numbers of international students and newcomers attending post-secondary studies means that there are more students using English as an additional language (EAL) at Canadian universities. Consequently, writing centres have recognized the need for specialized training for their tutors as they support these students. However, it is difficult to find research on tutor perspectives about these training programs in a Canadian context. The current project aimed to gather insight regarding tutors’ perceived knowledge and needs in helping students using EAL with their writing. The findings point to a need for tutor development which specifically contributes to supporting EAL writers in the form of ongoing interactive workshops on language awareness, instructional strategies, and communication skills. Twelve writing tutors completed a questionnaire in which they were asked about their previous EAL experiences, their current understanding of tutoring students using EAL, and their training needs in this area. A qualitative analysis revealed that tutors hoped to develop their ability in explaining grammatical rules, as well as improve their communication skills and developing pedagogical skills. These identified areas of development suggest a need to establish formal training in additional language acquisition theory, language awareness, and intercultural communication strategies.

ABSTRAK                                                               Terbatasnya kemampuan kebanyakan pelaku UKM  dalam mengatur keuangan usahanya, menyebabkan terbengkalainya keuangan usaha mereka, hal inilah kemudian menyebabkan banyak pelaku UKM yang gagal untuk bisa tetap eksis dan berkembang. Berdasarkan hasil wawancara dengan para peserta sebelum kegiatan program pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PPKM), mereka tidak pernah melakukan pencatatan keuangan usaha mereka. Mereka hanya mencatat jumlah hutang pelanggan saja, tidak mencatat jumlah uang masuk maupun uang keluar, dan mereka tidak memisahkan uang pribadi dengan uang usaha. Inilah yang menjadi pemicu kegagalan kebanyakan para pelaku UKM sering terlibat masalah modal usaha, karena modal usaha sering digunakan juga untuk keperluan pribadi. Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pengetahuan kepada para peserta pentingnya membuat laoran keuangan atau pencatatan keuangan usaha. Pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat sudah berjalan dengan baik dan lancar. Hasil dari pelaksanaan kegiatan tersebut semua tahapan pelaksanaan kegiatan berjalan sesuai dengan yang direncanakan. Kata kunci: manajemen keuangan; usaha kecil dan menengah (UKM); covid-19. ABSTRACTThe limited ability of most SMEs to manage their business finances, has led to the neglect of their business finances, and this has led to many SMEs who have failed to continue to exist and develop. Based on the results of our interviews with the participants before the activities of the community service program (PPKM), they never did financial records of their friends. They only record the amount of customer debt, do not record the amount of money in and out, and they do not separate personal money from business money. This is what triggers the failure of most SMEs are often involved in business capital problems. Because venture capital is often used also for personal needs. Community Service aims to provide knowledge to the participants the importance of making financial reports or recording financial business. The implementation of community service activities has been going well and smoothly. The results of the implementation of these activities all stages of the implementation of activities run as planned. Keywords: financial management; small and medium enterprises (SMES); covid-19.
