Knowledge Transfers in Alliances: Exploring the Facilitating Role of Information Technology
Authors: Ravichandran T. , Giura Simona Ileana
Published: August 2019

Although firms in many industries have been forming alliances at an increasing rate in their effort to develop new competencies by learning from their partners, many alliances fail to achieve their learning goals. In this study, we investigate how information technology (IT) can help firms to deal with this problem. We explicate four mechanisms through which IT will enable knowledge flows between alliance partners: decrease the knowledge dispersion inside an organization and increase knowledge transparency; provide the infrastructure to create multiple links between alliance partners; enable weak ties among people in the partnering firms; and increase communication and social interaction. Our findings based on data from 272 firms suggest that knowledge flows to a firm are enhanced when the focal firm and its partner in an alliance have high IT intensity. We find support for our argument that IT is a necessary complementary resource that facilitates learning from partners in alliances.
Does It Pay to Shroud In-App Purchase Prices?
Authors: Shulman Jeffrey D. , Geng Xianjun
Published: August 2019

Should mobile app platforms make it harder or easier for consumers to discover in-app purchase prices before they purchase an app? This research provides insights for both platforms and the app developers who are on them. Common intuition would suggest that platforms that earn commission on revenue from both apps and in-app content would benefit from extreme shrouding, because competing app developers can exploit their customers with monopoly pricing on the in-app content. However, our research shows that established app platforms, such as the Apple App Store and Google Play, and emerging app platforms, such as Slack and Alexa, should choose a shrouding level that results in at least some consumers observing the in-app purchase price. This paper uniquely finds a nonmonotonic relationship between shrouding of in-app purchase prices and profitability. As a consequence, platforms should also avoid making in-app purchase prices completely transparent such that all consumers observe the prices. The optimal decision is a moderate degree of shrouding, in which some consumers become informed of in-app purchase prices yet other consumers choose not to read (or listen) through all the way to discover the prices.
Large Online Product Catalog Space Indicates High Store Price: Understanding Customers’ Overgeneralization and Illogical Inference
Authors: Huang Yunhui , Lim Kai H. , Lin Zhijie , Han Shunping
Published: August 2019

Although e-commerce has been around for more than two decades, it is still so relatively new to most consumers that they often draw parallel from the bricks-and-mortar world to make (sometimes illogical) inference about the online world. This study demonstrates how one such illogical inference can affect customers’ price perception. Through a series of five experiments, we show that an online store with larger online product catalog space is perceived to be selling more expensive products, and thus customers who care more about quality (price) evaluate it more (less) positively. This is because customers have learned that large interstitial space among products in a bricks-and-mortar store is associated with high price, and they simply use this association without thinking that online space is not costly and should not signal high price. Therefore, when an online store is price oriented and would like to attract customers who place great importance on price, it should not present large space around their products in the product catalog. On the contrary, if an online store would like to attract customers who care more about quality, it should show a loose product catalog that is not at all costly but transmits a high-price store image.
Don’t Mention It? Analyzing User-Generated Content Signals for Early Adverse Event Warnings
Authors: Abbasi Ahmed , Li Jingjing , Adjeroh Donald , Abate Marie , Zheng Wanhong
Published: August 2019

With greater impetus on broad postmarket surveillance, the Voice of the Customer (VoC) has emerged as an important source of information for understanding consumer experiences and identifying potential issues. In organizations, risk management groups are increasingly interested in working with their information technology teams to develop robust VoC listening platforms. Two key challenges have impeded success. First, prior work has leveraged diverse sets of channels, adverse event types, and modeling methods, resulting in diverging conclusions regarding the viability and efficacy of various user-generated channels and accompanying modeling methods. Second, many existing detection methods rely on “mention models” that have low detection rates, have high false positives, and lack timeliness.

O presente artigo aciona o conceito de restauração conservadora elaborado por Michael Apple (2001; 2015; 2017) para refletir sobre os rumos das políticas curriculares que interpelam as disciplinas escolares Ciências e Biologia na atualidade. Aproximando-nos de tensões que são fruto das históricas disputas entre o público e o privado na educação brasileira, debatemos incursões recentes do conservadorismo sobre os currículos dessas disciplinas. Assim, apresentamos e discutimos tentativas de constrangimento ao ensino de determinadas temáticas que são atravessadas por controvérsias socioculturais: evolução biológica; corpo humano, saúde e diferença; diversidade étnico-racial. Por fim, também sinalizamos severas ameaças aos princípios democráticos que regem a educação do país.
“Ideologia de gênero" e escola sem partido: a agenda privatizante moralizadora para a educação brasileira
Authors: Mendonça Amanda André de , Moura Fernanda Pereira de
Published: August 2019

Com o propósito de pensar dois temas que vêm marcando as discussões recentes do campo educacional brasileiro, a saber, o movimento escola sem partido e a dita “ideologia de gênero”, esse texto irá tratar de tais temáticas à luz do que denominamos formação de uma agenda privatizante moralizadora da educação brasileira. Para discutir a composição dessa agenda, o artigo aborda a relação entre Estado, religião e democracia, discutindo a concepção de laicidade, a construção de um quadro conservador que se desenhou no Brasil de forma mais explícita na última década e seus contornos para a educação. Almeja-se apresentar a ingerência de diferentes segmentos conservadores, com destaque para a ação de agentes religiosos na produção das políticas educacionais recentes do país. A identificação desses agentes, suas movimentações e discursos constituem parte deste trabalho, que procura compreender parte das estratégias utilizadas, bem como identificar os principais argumentos que vêm permitindo implementar e sustentar essa agenda na cena educacional do país. Para isso, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, envolvendo análise documental e levantamento de discursos que se destacaram nesse percurso. Por fim, pretendeu-se com este artigo contribuir com os estudos referentes à laicidade e à importância dessa para o campo educacional e para o estágio de democracia do país.
Entre diálogos: estado, política e religião no legislativo acreano
Authors: Almeida Talita Pereira de , Silva Wlisses James De Farias , Gonçalves Rafael Marques
Published: August 2019

O propósito deste artigo está em verificar se, no processo de modernização que originou o modelo de sociedade secularizada de hoje, houve de maneira efetiva uma separação entre política e religião. Nesse sentido objetivou um estudo sobre a Bancada Evangélica na Assembleia Legislativa do Estado do Acre, composta por políticos evangélicos distintos que se articulam de forma contrária a questões como a legalização do aborto, o casamento entre pessoas do mesmo sexo e a legalização das drogas por exemplo. Esses atores políticos defendem a religião cristã e a moral religiosa dentro das decisões e questões do Estado por considerarem que ela é fundamental na promoção e colaboração do desenvolvimento social. Inicialmente apresentamos um estudo sobre o conceito de Estado laico e liberdade religiosa no Brasil, sendo abordados como princípios fundamentais de um Estado democrático de Direito. Em seguida, discorremos sobre o cenário político dentro da Assembleia Legislativa do Estado do Acre, analisando que influências religiosas estão presentes ali. Concluímos o artigo percebendo que as novas religiões que crescem no cenário brasileiro, têm em comum a característica de participar ativamente da vida política, lançando candidaturas aos cargos públicos. O que foi observado ao encontrarmos a presença de uma frente parlamentar evangélica sendo representada dentro da Assembleia Legislativa do Estado do Acre, tal situação aponta que atualmente a união entre o Estado e a Igreja exclui o pluralismo, a diversidade, negando assim, a possibilidade de haver igualdade e liberdade no âmbito público. Declarando assim, o enfraquecimento do Estado laico e dos princípios constitucionais que esse garante, retrocedendo todo o processo de secularização já alcançado.

Methods of Gastric Tube Placement Verification in Neonates, Infants, and Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Lin Tian , Shen Yan , Gifford Wendy , Qin Xiu-Qun , Liu Xue-Lian , Lan Yu-Tao , Chen Ken , Harrison Denise
Published: August 2019

INTRODUCTION:

The objective was to evaluate diagnostic performance of multiple methods used to assess gastric tube placement verification in neonates, infants, and children.

METHODS:

A systematic review using the methods outlined in the Cochrane Handbook for Reviews of Diagnostic Test Accuracy was conducted. Eight databases were searched. Studies on neonates, infants, and children in which researchers compared different methods for gastric tube placement verification with x-ray reference standard were eligible in the review.

RESULTS:

Eight studies involving 911 participants that evaluated 9 index tests for gastric tube placement verification were included. Most studies were of moderate methodological quality, and most index tests were assessed in small individual studies. pH testing with cutoff values ≤ 6 for gastric tube position confirmation was the only index test subjected to meta-analysis, with the summary sensitivity and specificity being 0.77 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.56–0.90) and 0.42 (95% CI 0.16–0.73). Other tests for gastric tube placement verification showed great variations in sensitivities and specificities.

DISCUSSION:

pH ≤ 6 is not sufficiently accurate to be recommended for gastric tube placement verification in neonates, infants, and children. Diagnostic performance of pH ≤ 4 or 5 and other methods cannot be determined because of the paucity of data and methodological variations in studies. Clinical practice related to the diagnostic tests used will continue to be dictated by local preferences and cost factors, until stronger evidence becomes available.
Head-to-Head Comparison of the Performance of 17 Risk Models for Predicting Presence of Advanced Neoplasms in Colorectal Cancer Screening
Authors: Peng Le , Balavarca Yesilda , Weigl Korbinian , Hoffmeister Michael , Brenner Hermann
Published: August 2019

OBJECTIVES:

Many risk scores have been proposed to predict presence of advanced colorectal neoplasms, but a comprehensive comparison conducted in the same population is sparse. The aim of this study was to evaluate and directly compare the diagnostic performance of published risk prediction models for advanced colorectal neoplasms.

METHODS:

Data were drawn from 2 cohorts of subjects undergoing screening colonoscopy in Germany, i.e., KolosSal (n = 16,195) and BliTz (n = 7,444). Absolute risks and relative risks were generated for the presence of at least 1 advanced neoplasm, taking the lowest risk group as the reference group. Performance of risk models was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and compared by the net reclassification improvement.

RESULTS:

The 2 cohorts included 1,917 (11.8%) and 848 (11.4%) participants with advanced neoplasm, respectively. Absolute risks were mostly between 5% and 10% among participants in the lowest risk group and between 15% and 20% among participants in the highest risk group, and relative risks mostly ranged from 2.0 to 4.0 across the risk models in both cohorts. The AUCs ranged from 0.58 to 0.65 in KolosSal and from 0.57 to 0.61 in BliTz for all risk scores. Compared to models with lower AUC, classification was significantly improved in most models with higher AUC.

DISCUSSION:

Risk models for advanced colorectal neoplasms generally yielded modest discriminatory power, despite some variation in performance between models. Future studies should evaluate the performance of these risk models in racially diverse populations and investigate possible extensions, such as combination with polygenic risk scores.

INTRODUCTION:

Although there is substantial evidence suggesting poor health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC), similar data in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) have not been fully assessed. The aim is to compare HRQL scores in patients with CHC to those with NASH.

METHODS:

Matched patients with advanced fibrosis (bridging fibrosis and compensated cirrhosis) due to CHC and NASH completed Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire, Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ), and Work Productivity and Activity Instrument questionnaire.

RESULTS:

We included 1,338 patients with NASH with advanced fibrosis (mean age 57.2 years, 47% men, 55% cirrhosis) and 1,338 matched patients with CHC. Patients with CHC and NASH had similar rates of employment and psychiatric disorders (P > 0.05). As expected, patients with NASH had higher body mass index (mean 33.7 vs 27.6) and more type 2 diabetes (74% vs 16%) (all P < 0.01). Patients with NASH had significantly lower HRQL scores related to physical health: Physical Functioning, Bodily Pain, General Health, Vitality, Physical Summary of SF-36, and Fatigue of CLDQ (P < 0.02). By contrast, patients with CHC had a lower Mental Health score of SF-36 and Emotional score of CLDQ and reported greater impairment in daily activities as measured by the Work Productivity and Activity Instrument questionnaire (P < 0.002). In multivariate analysis, after adjustment for demographic parameters, cirrhosis, and history of psychiatric disorders, having NASH was associated with lower physical HRQL scores and higher mental health–related scores (P < 0.05).

DISCUSSION:

Patients with NASH and advanced fibrosis have more impairment of their physical health–related scores than patients with CHC with advanced fibrosis. These data should dispel the misconception that NASH is an asymptomatic disease with little negative impact on patients' well-being.
L-carnitine and Vitamin B Complex for PEG-L-asparaginase-Induced Hepatotoxicity
Authors: Arora Sumant , Klair Jagpal , Bellizzi Andrew M. , Tanaka Tomohiro
Published: August 2019

Asparaginase is a part of combination chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We present a 58-year-old woman with refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed asparaginase-induced hepatotoxicity after receiving intravenous PEG-L-asparaginase-based chemotherapy. The patient presented with hyperbilirubinemia and transaminitis. The patient was diagnosed with drug-induced liver injury due to PEG-L-asparaginase after a thorough evaluation for all other causes and received treatment with L-carnitine and vitamin B complex with normalization of liver numbers. Hepatic dysfunction was attributed to depletion of L-asparagine and glutamine, which impairs mitochondrial β-oxidation and induces steatosis. We reiterate the role of L-carnitine and vitamin B complex for the treatment of asparaginase-induced hepatotoxicity.
Mapping a Changing Field

Digitalization is transforming the face of political participation. Citizens increasingly engage in politics in new and creative forms online. The concept of digital citizenship has the potential to capture the shifting role of citizens under online conditions. Yet this concept has been used inconsistently, provoking theoretical and operational shortcomings that complicate its analytical usability and may limit its academic and societal impact. This article provides a systematic review of literature on digital citizenship. Based on a review of 139 articles, we identify three dominant approaches to digital citizenship: the normative, the conditional, and the contextual. Additionally, we provide a systematization of alternative approaches to digital citizenship and discuss their potential to inform literature on this concept. Finally, we put forward a citizenship norms approach that may reconcile the different perspectives on digital citizenship. In sum, this article presents a review of the digital citizenship research and provides new avenues for the concept to be used in future research on the moving target that political participation presents under online conditions.
The Ironies of Digital Citizenship
Authors: Rahm Lina
Published: August 2019

Our everyday use of digital technologies, platforms and infrastructures is often portrayed as an autonomous technical development, guided by clever and independent innovations, rather than broad sociotechnical imaginaries that inspire parliamentary support and governance. This article will consequently shed the light on the oftenoverlooked structural and societal efforts that have historically shaped the digital citizen of today. For the past 70 years or so, non-formal adult education about computers and computing has been a key part of political ambitions to create a desirable future. Over time, digital technologies have also become a precondition for the enactment of citizenship. That is, ‘digital citizenship’ is increasingly positioned as a fundamental requirement for democratic participation. The purpose of this paper is to trace how the digital citizen, and its accompanying problems, has been construed over time, particularly through educational imaginaries. What problems is the digital citizen a solution to? Who has been presented as problematic, and who, subsequently, has become the primary target for educational solutions? What skills have been described as indispensable for the digital citizen during different periods in history? By using Sweden as a vantage point this paper provides both concrete examples as well as perspectives on transnational discourses. In focus for the study are discourses concerning non-formal adult education, in the form of awareness campaigns, social programmes and adult liberal education about computers aimed at the general citizenry, during three periods in time: the 1950s, the 1980s, and today. The contribution is a critical take on how the citizen has increasingly become connected to digital technologies, and how this convergence has at the same time created digital exclusion.
The New Media, the Youth and Renegotiation of Ethnic and Religious Identity in Nigeria
Authors: Omenugha Nelson Obinna , Duru Henry Chigozie
Published: August 2019

Among others, the new media platforms are endowed with the capacity to reach wider targets of different demographic orientation; scattered at different geographical location. They also enable interaction between people; irrespective of location, religious divide and cultural inclination; ultimately for collaboration and socialization. For a multi-ethnic and multi-religious society like Nigeria which has unfortunately endured unending ethno-religious tensions from the onset, this paper attempts to examine the extent by which the new media (particularly the social media) provide the platform for such collaboration and socialization; particularly in removing the boundaries of ideological isolations and exposing young Nigerians to differing ideological worldviews which could help them renegotiate their ethnic and religious identity; moving from bigotry to tolerance? To answer this question, this paper investigated the new media usage patterns of young Nigerians with the view to assessing how much their use habit may have exposed them to this sort of socialization. Situated within the framework of the uses and gratifications theory, the study combined survey and focus group discussion (FGD) methods. A questionnaire was issued to 400 university undergraduates while two FGD sessions were carried out with 6 discussants in each session. Results showed that the Nigerian youths’ use of new media has exposed them to contact with ethnic and religious groups different from theirs, and that new media facilitates cross-ethnic and cross-religious learning as well as ethnic and religious tolerance among the youths. Hypotheses testing showed that the more the youths use the Internet the more they will be exposed to contact with ethnic and religious groups different from theirs and that the more the youths are exposed to online contact with such groups the more they will be tolerant towards them. It was concluded that the Internet could be a strong impetus for identity negotiation and renegotiation given that it affords the space for multicultural interaction and cross-fertilization of ideas, and so could serve as a potent tool for fostering cross-cultural understanding, tolerance and harmony in a multicultural society like Nigeria. The study recommended, among others, that efforts to achieve crossethnic and cross-religious tolerance and harmony in Nigeria shouldexplore the opportunities presented by the new media in this regard. Consequently, policymakers and other concerned institutions should work towards maximizing online cross-cultural contact and learning especially among the youths.
“Going Rogue”
Authors: Gottlieb Samantha D. , Cluck Jonathan
Published: August 2019

This paper explores our collaborative STS and anthropological project with type 1 diabetes (T1D) hardware “hacking” communities, whose work focuses on reverse-engineering and extracting data from medical devices such as insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS) to create do-it-yourself artificial pancreas systems (APS). Rather than using these devices within their prescriptive and prescribed purposes (surveillance and treatment monitoring), these “hackers” repurpose, reinterpret, and redirect of the possibilities of medical surveillance data in order to reshape their own treatment. Through “deliberate non-compliance” (Scibilia 2017) with cliniciandeveloped treatment guidelines, T1D device hackers deliberatively engage with clinicians’ conceptions and formulations of what constitutes “good treatment” and empower themselves in discussions about the effectiveness of treatment guidelines. Their non-compliance is, however, neither negligence, as implied by the medical category of patients who fail to comply with clinical orders, nor ignorance, but a productive and creative response to their embodied expertise, living with a chronic and potentially deadly condition. Our interlocutors’ explicit connections with the free and open source software principles suggests the formation of a “recursive public” (Kelty 2008) in diabetes research and care practices, from a patient-centered “medical model” to a diverse and divergent patient-led model. The philosophical and ethical underpinnings of the open source and collaborative strategies these patients draw upon radically reshape the principles that drive the commercial health industry and government regulatory structures.
Letters from the Future
Authors: Dymet Marcin
Published: August 2019

Sociologists have long used the biographical approach as a research method. Diaries, memorials and personal correspondence are treated as existing source material, which can help enrich social knowledge about the life of social groups. This can embrace different genres, for instance autobiographical novels. These, although fictional, are still grounded in the reality of an author and can be utilized as material for social analysis. The same rules apply to science fiction literature. Worlds presented in it are versions of the future or alternative realities, anchored frequently in the present time. Throughout history, authors have been using science fiction as a social and political commentary for their contemporary world. These thought experiments represent valuable material to help analyse the policies of the present and predict future forms of society in the rapidly changing world supersaturated with new technologies. In the present article, the idea of using biographical method to analyse Arctic science fiction is presented. The article explores the mutual interrelation of climate change, the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), and digital citizenship in the Arctic region. Science fiction is considered from the perspective of thought experiment in which potential futures of the Arctic in relation to the three above-mentioned areas are imagined and constructed.

Voltados à atividade de formação de professores, e nos pautando na perspectiva da teoria da atividade que está ancorada nos pressupostos da teoria histórico-cultural, investigamos, durante a pesquisa de doutorado aqui resumidamente apresentada, o processo de significação da atividade de ensino de matemática que pode emergir durante uma atividade de formação contínua realizada com professores que ensinam matemática nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Compreendemos significação pela perspectiva de Leontiev, que a interpreta como um processo, isto é, como "a forma em que um homem determinado chega a dominar a experiência da humanidade". Segundo o pesquisador, "a significação medeia a consciência do homem, a forma na qual ele conscientiza o mundo que o rodeia" (LEONTIEV, 1983, p. 225-226)

A doutrina elaborada por Vygotski a propósito dos conceitos científicos, que são o conteúdo do ensino escolar, é produto direto de sua reflexão geral sobre a aprendizagem mediatizada, é produto direto de sua reflexão geral sobre a aprendizagem mediatizada, concebida como determinante essencial do desenvolvimento humano (ver Kozulin, no presente volume). Segundo Vygotski (1978, 1981, 1986), todos os processos mentais superiores) passam pela mediação de ferramentas psicológicas como a linguagem, os signos e os símbolos. Foi a sociedade dos homens que inventou esses símbolos, e as crianças os adquirem no curso de sua comunicação interpessoal com os adultos e com seus pares mais experientes. Essas ferramentas, quando as crianças enfim as adquirem e as interiorizam, funcionam como mediadores de seus processos mentais superiores.

Arapçadan Türkiye Türkçesine Geçen Sözcüklerde Ayın ve Hemzeyle İlgili Ses Olayları
Authors: BARAN Burhan
Published: August 2019

Arapça, Türkiye Türkçesindeki alınma sözcükler bakımından ilk sırayı almaktadır. Arapçadan dilimize pek çok sözcük girmiştir. Bunların bir kısmı olduğu gibi dilimize girerken, bir kısmı çeşitli ses olaylarına uğrayarak dilimize yerleşmiştir. Bu ses olaylarının nedeni kale ˂ kalǾa, cetvel ˂ cedvel gibi aykırılaşma örneklerini saymazsak söz konusu sözcüklerin dilimizin ses yapısına uymamasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Diğer bir deyişle Arapçadan Türkiye Türkçesine geçmiş sözcüklerde meydana gelen ses değişmesi, ses türemesi veya ses düşmesi olayları dilimizin o sözcükleri kendi ses yapısına uydurma çabasından ileri gelmektedir. Bu ses olaylarından bir kısmı da ayın ve hemze ünsüzleriyle ilgilidir. Ancak bu ünsüzlerin Türkçede ses karşılıkları yoktur. Bu nedenle ayın ve hemze ünsüzleri Arapçadan Türkiye Türkçesine geçerken ses değişmesi veya ses düşmesine maruz kalır. İşte bu makalede Arapçadan Türkiye Türkçesine geçen sözcüklerde ayın ve hemzeyle ilgili ses olayları üzerinde durulacaktır.

Nomofobi; bireyin, mobil telefon bağlantısını kaybetmesinden kaynaklı, yaşamış olduğu korku anlamına gelmektedir. Bu çalışma, 3 farklı kuşak (X, Y ve Z) tüketicilerin, nomofobi özelliklerini ölçmeyi ve kuşaklar arası karşılaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla Adıyaman’da yaşayan akıllı mobil telefon kullanıcısı 420 kişiye anket yapılmış, geçerli 389 anket SPSS 22 programında analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın temel hipotezi; “Kuşaklar ile nomofobi düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki vardır” şeklinde belirlenmiştir. Bu kapsamda alt hipotezler ise nomofobinin her bir alt boyutu ile kuşaklar arasında ilişki olup olmadığını tespit edecek şekilde oluşturulmuştur. Yapılan analizler neticesinde; kuşaklar ile “iletişim kurmakta olamamak” “bağlantının kaybedilmesi” ve “bilgiye erişememe”, gibi nedenlerle yaşanan nomofobi düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilirken, “kolaylık vermesi” nedeniyle yaşanan nomofobi ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilememiştir.

Lightweight geopolymer concrete was synthesized using fly ash as an aluminosilicate source with the addition of a pore-forming agent. The synthesis of a geopolymer was conducted by employing various volume ratios of geopolymer paste to the foaming agent: 1:0.50, 1:0.67, 1:0.75, 1:1.00, 1:1.33, 1:1.50, and 1:2.00, while the ratios of aluminum powder weight percentage to the fly ash weight varied between 0.01 - 0.15 %wt. The results showed that the higher foaming agent content, the lower the compressive strength and density of the geopolymer. The ratio of the geopolymer paste to the foaming agent, 1:1.33 was found to produce the strongest light weight geopolymer whose compressive strength and density were 33 MPa and 1760 kg/m3, respectively. With the addition of 0.01%wt aluminum powder, the geopolymer specimen showed the highest compressive strength of 42 MPa and density of 1830 kg/m3, respectively. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and FT-IR were utilized to study the effects of foaming agent and aluminum powder addition onto the microstructure, surface morphology, and functional groups of the geopolymer. Both types of synthesized geopolymers have the potential to be developed in terms of compressive strength and density in the future.

Information ACTism in “Trumping” the Contemporary Fake News Phenomenon in Rural Libraries
Authors: Mehra Bharat
Published: August 2019

Fabricated or fake news has become a phenomenon of unprecedented proportions in the 21st century. Donald J. Trump, the 45th and current President of the United States, has played a major role in its pervasive adoption and spread of misinformation and disinformation since his ascendency on November 8, 2016. In today’s complex political landscape, this article introduces the gerund and present participle “trumping” in mock homage to the fake news legacy of President Trump. “Trumping” simultaneously symbolizes a seemingly contradictory act of subversive and patriotic resistance for libraries to counter his fake news rhetoric to further his political ends. It calls for rural libraries (amongst others) to embrace a multi-pronged approach of information ACTism that draws upon intersections in information literacy-fluency-advocacy in their “trumping” actions to resist the President’s unhealthy behaviors since rural communities (and others) continue to be especially susceptible to his negativity and use of fake news. This think piece is based on analysis of selected news media coverage and provides libraries out-ofthe-box strategies to lead their communities towards critical and reflective analytical political decision-making in the face of fake news bombardment emerging from a person in the highest office of the land.
New approaches to plastic language: Prolegomena to a computer-aided approach to pictorial semiotics
Authors: Reyes Everardo , Sonesson Göran
Published: August 2019

In this paper we summarize observations bridging the declared aspirations of pictorial semiotics and its real achievements. Pictorial semiotics is here understood as the general study of pictures as signs and it constituted a fundamental step beyond the art historical captivation with individual images. In the first part of our contribution we present a review of the most important methods that have been proposed as an answer to deal with several pictorial problems (multiple instances, segmentation, non-figurative meaning). In the second part, we offer some positive and on-going implementations designed to remedy the shortcomings observed. What is suggested is the proof of concept that human researchers need the assistance of computing methodologies. However, computers can only do their job once an adequate phenomenology of human experience is fed into the process.

Authors: Fuchs Birgit , Huppertz Hubert
Published: August 2019

The title compound β-Eu(BO2)3 was synthesized in a high-pressure/high-temperature experiment at 4 GPa and 1473 K. The europium borate crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (no. 62) with the lattice parameters a = 16.071(2), b = 7.440(4), and c = 12.362(5) Å. The structure is isotypic to the already known meta-borates β-RE(BO2)3 (RE = Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy–Lu) and is built up of approximately triangular ribbons of BO4 tetrahedra. The compound was further characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, vibrational spectroscopy and shows a typical Eu3+ line emission upon excitation at 448 nm.
Adalékok a pécsi székesegyház freskódíszítésének ikonográfiai programjához
Authors: Tüskés Anna
Published: August 2019

A székesegyház Schmidt Frigyes-féle átépítésekor a fő- és mellékhajók figurális kifestését két német festő, Karl Andreä és Moritz von Beckerath, a kápolnákét Székely Bertalan és Lotz Károly végezte. Az ornamentális díszítő festést Gustav Bamberger würzburgi festő készítette. Székely és Lotz előkészítő vázlatait a Magyar Nemzeti Galéria Grafikai Osztálya őrzi viszonylag rendezett állapotban. A két festő számos vázlata vár azonosításra, az egyes mappákban gyakran különböző freskóciklusokhoz tartozó vázlatok keverednek, és a kutathatóságot a vázlatok nagy mérete és változó állapota is nehezíti. Tanulmányomban a következő kérdésekre keresem a választ: 1. Milyen írásos források maradtak fenn Lotz és Székely pécsi munkájáról? 2. Milyen iránymutatást kaptak a művészek az ikonográfiára vonatkozóan, ki határozta meg, hogy milyen jelenetek, mely szentek, szimbólumok ábrázolása kerüljön a falakra, és azoknak milyen jelentést tulajdonítottak?
His Belly, Her Seed: Gender and Medicine in Early Modern Demonic Possession
Authors: Brogan Boyd
Published: August 2019

This article reassesses the role of gender in early modern demonic possession from a medical perspective. It takes as its starting point the demoniac Richard Mainy, who in 1585 claimed to be suffering from hysteria. Best known for its influence on Shakespeare's King Lear, Mainy's gender-crossing diagnosis should be read in the context of the close historical relationship between hysteria and epilepsy. While medical historians have viewed hysteria as the key possession-related illness, epilepsy was equally important. Both were seen as convulsive illnesses caused by an excess of reproductive fluids. Emphasizing the similarities rather than the differences between male and female sexuality, this shared etiology underpinned medical approaches to demonic possession.
Imperial Women and Clerical Exile in Late Antiquity
Authors: Hillner Julia
Published: August 2019

Late antique clerical exile is traditionally investigated from the perspective of banished cleric or banishing emperor and council. This article investigates the relationships between banished clerics and imperial women. Drawing on data collected by the Migration of Faith: Clerical Exile in Late Antiquity project, as well as quantitative methods such as social network analysis, I discuss how late antique authors exploited these (at times fabricated) relationships for their narrative agendas. Focussing on the case study of imperial women as patrons of banished clerics, I draw three conclusions: First, there was a constantly negative attitude towards involvement of imperial women in clerical exile throughout Late Antiquity. Second, there was, nonetheless, variation in this attitude across time and genres. Negative portrayal of imperial women engaged in cases of clerical exile peaked in the fifth century and in Nicene and Chalcedonian sources. Third, positive portrayal appears only towards the end of the period, and in sixth-century Miaphysite hagiography. I suggest that the identified differences were due to genre, but also responded to real changes in the institutional roles of imperial women over the course of late antiquity.

Published: August 2019

Type 1 diabetes mellitus and endometriosis separately affect millions of women worldwide. Reproductive-age women diagnosed with type 1 diabetes may also suffer from endometriosis, but the asymptomatic pre-clinical period of highly variable duration for each condition can lead to challenges in the timely recognition of co-morbid disease onset and misdiagnosis. While knowledge of the pathogenesis of each condition has grown substantially, co-morbid endometriosis and type 1 diabetes has not been widely considered and much less addressed. This review discusses the molecular rationale for the likelihood of their co-existence, and prospects for improvements in therapeutic strategies and reduced complications, if this paradigm is included as a significant variable in disease management.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Children with medical complexity (CMC) often require pediatric home health care (PHHC) to meet their daily intensive care needs. Pediatricians are central to planning, implementing, and maintaining quality PHHC for CMC, yet a comprehensive road map for this process is lacking. With this national study, we aim to fill that gap.

METHODS:

Semistructured interviews were conducted with parents and professionals from the 10 US Health Resources and Services Administration regions. Parents were recruited via advocacy groups for families of CMC; professionals with experience with PHHC for CMC were identified by using purposive and snowball sampling. Interview transcripts were qualitatively analyzed for themes.

RESULTS:

A comprehensive process of prescribing, providing, and maintaining PHHC requires 5 steps: identifying needs, investigating options, developing plans of care, initiating services, and navigating evolving needs. The success of the PHHC process is built on knowledge, anticipation, and early identification of needs; communication; care-coordination infrastructure; skilled home health providers; and the parent-provider relationship.

CONCLUSIONS:

Many CMC require PHHC to live safely outside of the hospital. Although the PHHC process involves multiple steps and participants, pediatricians’ understanding of the process is the foundation of PHHC success. Fostering interagency relationships, increasing longitudinal care coordination, and investing in the PHHC infrastructure may reduce the burden placed on families and CMC as they navigate the complex process of PHHC.
