Charles Mills’s Radicalism
Authors: Montiel Jorge ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: November 2022

This paper revisits an aspect of Charles Mills’s work that is usually overlooked, namely, his early engagement with the tradition of analytical Marxism, particularly in From Class to Race: Essays in White Marxism and Black Radicalism (2003). This collection of essays is important not only because it marks Mills’s intellectual trajectory, but also because, as I aim to show in the following, it allows us to trace the source of Mills’s radicalism. I argue that Mills’s radicalism locates the causal source of social change in the material conditions of oppression. I then show how this analysis of Mills’s radicalism can help in clarifying his critique of ideal theory and his insistence on the importance of nonideal theory. I end by considering the relation between class and racial oppression in Mills’s early Marxist work.

Real rape stereotype: Between knowledge and beliefs
Authors: Lajić Oliver , Baić Valentina , Tomić Marta
Published: November 2022

The paper presents the results of a research related to the existence of stereotypes in connection with sexual violence among the general population of Serbia, as well as among the students of the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies in Belgrade (UCIPS). Bearing in mind that comparative studies testify to a high level the presence of stereotypes related to sexual violence, the researchers have attempted to establish whether there are any differences in understanding this issue among the above-mentioned categories of respondents, as some of them are prospective police officers, who will likely be in contact with the victims of sexual violence given the nature of their job. The focus was also on the differences in the manner of obtaining information about this phenomenon. The study encompassed a total of 310 respondents, out of whom 62 were the students of the UCIPS and 61 the students of other universities, whereas all others were above the student age. The data were collected by filling in a questionnaire and analysing responses by the use of descriptive statistics and correlation. The results suggest that the information from the Internet is a principal source of obtaining information about sexual violence except among the UCIPS students, who primarily learn about such phenomena from professional literature. The initial thesis on the absence of significant differences related to rape stereotypes among the UCIPS students and the students of other universities, irrespective of their previous professional education, has been confirmed, which indicates the need for narrowly targeted expert education of prospective police officers in respect of issues of sexual violence.
El pasado reciente escolar en el cine español actual: una mirada a las películas protagonizadas por niños (1996-2011)
Authors: Durán Manso Valeriano
Published: November 2022

El pasado reciente de España ha tenido desde la Transición una importante presencia en el cine español. El desarrollo y las consecuencias de la Segunda República (1931-1936), la Guerra Civil (1936-1939) y el Franquismo (1939-1975) han contado con el interés de diversos cineastas desde la recuperación de la democracia en 1975. Debido a la censura imperante, durante la dictadura no se reflejaron en el celuloide ciertos aspectos de estos periodos, de manera que en los últimos cuarenta años se ha producido una eclosión de filmes ambientados en ellos, especialmente durante la guerra y la posguerra. Asimismo, los protagonizados por niños resultan muy oportunos para advertir el contexto histórico desde la mirada de la infancia y descubrir el pasado escolar. Con el objetivo de conocer las películas actuales que cuentan con personajes infantiles y transcurren en las citadas etapas, se aborda cómo era la escuela del pasado, qué prototipos de docentes, alumnos y familias imperaban, qué tipo de contenidos se impartían y cómo la ideología de cada periodo estaba presente en el aula. Para ello, se analizan Secretos del corazón (Montxo Armendáriz), La lengua de las mariposas (José Luis Cuerda), You’re the One (José Luis Garci), El espinazo del diablo (Guillermo del Toro), El florido pensil (Juan José Porto), El viaje de Carol (Imanol Uribe), Los girasoles ciegos (Cuerda) y Pan negro (Agustí Villaronga), películas estrenadas entre 1997 y 2010. Desde estas consideraciones, los filmes españoles actuales protagonizados por niños favorecen la reconstrucción del pasado histórico-educativo de estas etapas..

An Analysis of the Survival of Gall Bladder Patients in a Tertiary Cancer Center in India using Accelerated Failure Time Models
Authors: Sharma Anurag , Komal Komal
Published: November 2022

Objective: Accelerated Failure Time (AFT) models are an useful alternative of Cox- PH model to determine the significant predictors affecting the survival of the patients. This article aims to determine the significant prognostic factors of hospitalized Gall Bladder Cancer patients in Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Center, New Delhi, India by applying AFT Models. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to be carried out in India identifying the factors of Gall bladder patients using AFTM.

Materials and Methods: The data are taken from original proformae of 652 hospital admitted Gall Bladder patients from a tertiary care hospital from Delhi from the period January 2012 to December 2016. These models take the logarithm of survival time, S(t) as dependent variable and prognostic factors as independent variables. Thereby, effect of these prognostic factors is multiplicative and therefore these models can be easily interpreted. AFTM demonstrates the predictor’s effect in terms of time ratio (TR). Analysis was implemented on R software version 3.5.1.

Results and Conclusions: In the Gall Bladder data considered in this article, shape of hazard function, H(t) and the exploratory data analysis falls in line with the Lognormal AFT model. AFT models give an estimate of Time Ratio which helps doctors, clinicians, epidemiologists etc. to determine the effect of treatment in terms of an increasing/decreasing survival time.
Active Data Science for Improving Clinical Risk Prediction
Authors: Ankerst Donna P. , Neumair Matthias
Published: November 2022

Clinical risk prediction models are commonly developed in a post-hoc and passive fashion, capitalizing on convenient data from completed clinical trials or retrospective cohorts. Impacts of the models often end at their publication rather than with the patients. The field of clinical risk prediction is rapidly improving in a progressively more transparent data science era. Based on collective experience over the past decade by the Prostate Biopsy Collaborative Group (PBCG), this paper proposes the following four data science-driven strategies for improving clinical risk prediction to the benefit of clinical practice and research. The first proposed strategy is to actively design prospective data collection, monitoring, analysis and validation of risk tools following the same standards as for clinical trials in order to elevate the quality of training data. The second suggestion is to make risk tools and model formulas available online. User-friendly risk tools will bring quantitative information to patients and their clinicians for improved knowledge-based decision-making. As past experience testifies, online tools expedite independent validation, providing helpful information as to whether the tools are generalizable to new populations. The third proposal is to dynamically update and localize risk tools to adapt to changing demographic and clinical landscapes. The fourth strategy is to accommodate systematic missing data patterns across cohorts in order to maximize the statistical power in model training, as well as to accommodate missing information on the end-user side too, in order to maximize utility for the public.

Published: November 2022

Fasting therapy of Chinese Medicine was put forward by Professor Qin Jian based on the theory of fat and grease from The Yellow Emperors Internal Classi and modified on the basis of Buchinger fasting therapy. Here we try to report a female patient with the chief complaint of arthralgia who was diagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and suspected type 2 diabetes mellitus, also diagnosed by Chinese medicine with Bi disease of spleen deficiency and phlegm dampness syndrome. After admission, the patient was treated with fasting therapy of Chinese Medicine for a week. Considering that she was in the menstrual period, she was given a very-low-calorie diet during that time. Moreover, she was given L-carnitine injection, health education and traditional Chinese medicine treatment, including foot massage, acupuncture and acupoint application everyday. After discharge, she was asked to take low-calorie diet and modified Linggui Zhugan Decoction for another week. After that, she followed the doctor's instructions for long-term caloric control. A year later, the reexamination showed that her condition was improving.

The Jewish Cultural Code in the Visual Semiosis of Crimea
Authors: Kotliar Elena Romanovna , Alekseeva Elena Nikolaevna
Published: November 2022

The subject of the study is the cultural code of Judaism in the visual semiosis of the Crimea. The object of the study is the traditional symbolism in the decor of the Jews of the Crimea: Ashkenazi Jews, Karaites and Krymchaks. The article uses the methods of cultural (semiotic, ontological and hermeneutic) analysis in the continuum of signs of the traditional Jewish semiosis, the idiographic method in the concept of the totality of signs, the method of analysis of previous studies, the method of synthesis in substantiating the morphology of signs. The following aspects of the topic are considered in the study: five main codes of Jewish culture are identified, their morphology and interrelationships are substantiated, as well as key meanings and the main central code.     The main conclusions of the study are: 1. The multiethnic landscape of Crimea is made up of the cultures of numerous ethnic groups. The main feature of the identification and self-identification of cultures is religion. The Jews of Crimea include Ashkenazi Jews, Karaites and Crimeans. A single source for cultural codes in the Jewish semiosis is the Torah (the Mosaic Pentateuch) for all three ethnic groups, and for two of them (Jews and Krymchaks), the interpretation of the Torah is also the Talmud. 2. Based on the studied material, five main codes of the Jewish visual semiosis of the Crimea are identified, each of which unites a certain group of symbols: skewomorphic, phytomorphic, zoomorphic, numeric. The unifying code and the primary source of all codes is the code Book (Torah). The interrelationships between the codes, the key meanings – symbols of Creation, Paradise, Torah persons and Messianic aspirations are revealed. The semantic center of all codes is the repository of the Torah – Aron Hakodesh, and the Torah itself. Thus, the ring pattern "from Torah to Torah" is revealed. 3. A special contribution to the research of the topic is the systematization of the cultural codes of the Jewish semiosis of the Crimea. The scientific novelty consists in the fact that for the first time a culturological analysis was carried out and the interrelationships of cultural codes in the visual semiosis of the Crimea were structured.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Studies have suggested using thermography as a resource to diagnose fibromyalgia, although there has been no evidence confirming this hypothesis so far. Objective: To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of computerized infrared thermography as an auxiliary method for diagnosing fibromyalgia. Methods: It is a diagnostic accuracy studywith cross-sectional design. One hundred and three individuals were evaluated for global pain using the Visual Analogue Scale. The measurement of pain at tender points was assessed by algometry, and skin temperature was assessed by thermography. To evaluate sensitivity and specificity, the analysis was performed using the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve, measured by the area under the curve with their respective confidence intervals. Results: Thermography has not been very sensitive or specific for pain (tender points) and diagnosis of fibromyalgia, according to the evaluation of the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve, with an area under the curve equal to or lower than 0.75. Conclusion: In this study the thermography was not sensitive and specific as a tool for diagnosing the fibromyalgia syndrome. This study highlights important clinical implications concerning the current methods for diagnosing it, which, despite all efforts, are still subjective and poorly reproducible.
Seca silenciosa, saúde invisível: um desastre naturalizado no semiárido do Brasil

Published: November 2022

A seca é apenas um evento climático de origem natural ou também é um desastre social, que tem forte impacto na saúde, no bem-estar e no desenvolvimento humano? Esse é um dos principais pontos de Seca Silenciosa, Saúde Invisível: um desastre naturalizado no Semiárido do Brasil, obra escrita pelas pesquisadoras Aderita Ricarda Martins de Sena e Tais de Moura Ariza Alpino. O livro aborda questões específicas do evento climático de seca, com ênfase no Semiárido do Brasil (SAB). Durante as pesquisas, as autoras observaram os efeitos da seca sobre a sociedade e sobre os determinantes da saúde, considerando os contextos do desenvolvimento sustentável ambiental, econômico e social. Além disso, as escritoras caracterizam a seca como um fenômeno ambiental que evolui de forma lenta e silenciosa, o que não motiva a agir de forma urgente: “Trata-se de uma situação diferente de outros tipos de eventos climáticos que surgem de forma aguda e intensiva, como, por exemplo, as inundações, que recebem uma resposta imediata”, complementa Carlos Corvalan, doutor em Saúde Ambiental e professor adjunto da Escola de Saúde Pública da Universidade de Sydney (Austrália), no prefácio da obra. Dessa forma, elas constataram que o setor da Saúde se torna invisível em suas respostas por não perceber os efeitos a curto prazo, deixando, assim, de agir urgentemente.
On oscillatory behaviour of third-order half-linear dynamic equations on time scales
Authors: Grace Said R. , Chhatria Gokula Nanda
Published: November 2022

In this work, we study the oscillation and asymptotic behaviour of third-order nonlinear dynamic equations on time scales. The findings are obtained using an integral criterion as well as a comparison theorem with the oscillatory properties of a first-order dynamic equation. As a consequence, we give conditions which guarantee that all solutions to the aforementioned problem are only oscillatory, different from any other result in the literature. We propose novel oscillation criteria that improve, extend, and simplify existing ones in the literature. The results are associated with a numerical example. We point out that the results are new even for the case \(\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}\) or \(\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{Z}\).

Antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) has advantages of low-toxicity, abundant and excellent photoelectric properties. It is widely considered as one of the most promising light-harvesting materials for thin-film solar cells. However, the power conversion efficiency of the Sb2Se3 thin-film solar cell is still far inferior to that of cadmium telluride, copper indium gallium selenium and perovskite solar cells. As known, the Sb2Se3 solar cell performance is closely related to the light absorber layer (crystallinity, composition and bulk defect density, etc.), PN heterojunction quality (charge carrier concertation, energy band alignment and interface defect density, etc.) and back-contact barrier formation, which determines the process of carrier generation, excitation, relaxation, transfer and recombination. The low fill factor is one of the core problems that limit further efficiency improvement of Sb2Se3 solar cells, which can be attributed to the high potential barrier at the back contact between the Mo electrode and Sb2Se3absorption layer. In this work, a heat treatment is applied to the Mo electrode to generate a MoO2buffer layer. It can be found that this buffer layer can inhibit MoSe2 film growth, exhibiting better ohmic contact with Sb2Se3 and reducing the back contact barrier of the solar cell. Sb2Se3 thin film is prepared by an effective combination reaction involving sputtered and selenized Sb precursor. After introducing the MoO2buffer layer, it can also promote the formation of (hk1) (including (211), (221) and (002) etc.) preferentially oriented Sb2Se3 thin films with average grain size over 1 μm. And the ratio of Sb and Se was optimized from 0.57 to 0.62, approaching the stoichiometric ratio of Sb2Se3 thin film and inhibiting the formation of Vse and SbSe defects. Finally, it enhances the open-circuit voltage (VOC) of solar cells from 0.473 V to 0.502 V, short-circuit current density (JSC) from 22.71 mA/cm2 to 24.98 mA/cm2, and fill factor (FF) from 46.90% to 56.18%, establishing a promotion in power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 5.04% to 7.05%. This work proposes a facile strategy for interfacial treatment and elucidates the related carrier transport enhancement mechanism, paving a bright avenue to overcome the efficiency bottleneck of Sb2Se3 thin film solar cells.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been widely used in food and drug detection, biological and medical sensing. In recent years, the study of non-metallic SERS substrates has gradually become a hot field of SERS. Here, we investigated the modulation effects on SERS activities of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetrachyanoquindimethylene (F4TCNQ) grown on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) films. The different nanostructures of F4TCNQ can have an effect on the bound ability of charges transferred from the surface of MoS2, which changes the electron density distribution on the surface of the F4TCNQ/MoS2 nanocomposite material. Therefore, the interface exhibited different charge localization in the F4TCNQ/MoS2 nanocomposite. The charge transfer efficiency between the substrate and with the adsorbed probe molecules leads the substrate to show a different SERS sensitivity. The enhancement factor of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) molecules on the most optimized 7-min F4TCNQ/MoS2 nanocomposite substrate can reach 6.9×104, and the detection limit concentration is as low as 10-6M.

Topological materials have attracted much attention due to their novel physical properties. These materials can not only serve as a platform for studying the fundamental physics, but also demonstrate a significant potential application in electronics, and they are studied usually in two ways. One is to constantly explore new experimental phenomena and physical problems in existing topological materials, and the other is to predict and discover new topological material systems and carry out synthesis for further studies. In a word, high-quality crystals are very important for studying quantum oscillations, angle resolved photoemission spectra or scanning tunneling microscopy. In this work, the classifications and developments of topological materials, including topological insulators, topological semimetals, and magnetic topological materials, are introduced. As usually employed growth methods in growing topological materials, flux and vapour transport methods are introduced in detail. Other growth methods, such as Bridgman, float-zone, vapour deposition and molecular beam epitaxy methods, are also briefly mentioned. Then the details about the crystal growth of some typical topological materials, including topological insulators/semimetals, high Chern number chiral topological semimetals and magnetic topological materials, are elaborated. Meanwhile, the identification of crystal quality is also briefly introduced, including the analysis of crystal composition and structure, which are greatly important.

Authors: Hashim Zainab Khalil , Hussein Ahmed Abbas
Published: November 2022

The objective of the current paper is to recognize how proactive leadership, as an independent variable represented by the dimensions “proactive personality and proactive behavior”, affects the quality of insurance decisions, as a dependent variable represented by relevant reliable information, executable creative alternatives, rational logic, and commitment to implementation. The significance of the study was derived from the rarity of studies that addressed the topic of the study, which dealt with proactive leadership and its contribution to the quality of insurance decisions. The researcher chose a sample of (73) managers from the National Insurance Company randomly. The most notable hypotheses of the research are (proactive leadership has an effect upon the quality of insurance decisions). The preliminary data was taken from the National Insurance Company. The questionnaire was adopted as a main tool in gathering the research data, which was subjected to statistical analysis through the ready-made programs (SPSS V26) and (AMOS V26). The research has come up with many results, the key one is that there is an effect of proactive leadership upon the quality of insurance decisions in the National Insurance Company).
Crystal structure of the OrfX1–OrfX3 complex from the PMP1 neurotoxin gene cluster
Authors: Košenina Sara , Stenmark Pål
Published: November 2022

Paraclostridial mosquitocidal protein 1 (PMP1) is a member of the clostridial neurotoxin (CNT) family, which includes botulinum and tetanus neurotoxins. PMP1 has unique selectivity for anopheline mosquitos and is the only known member of the family that targets insects. PMP1 is encoded in an orfX gene cluster, which in addition to the toxin, consists of OrfX1, OrfX2, OrfX3, P47 and NTNH, which have been shown to aid in PMP1 toxicity. We here show that OrfX1 and OrfX3 form a complex and present its structure at 2.7 Å. The OrfX1–OrfX3 complex mimics the structure of full‐length OrfX2 and belongs to the lipid‐binding TULIP protein superfamily. With this report, the structures of all proteins encoded in the orfX gene cluster of CNTs are now determined.
Current scientific interest in dissociative amnesia: A bibliometric analysis
Authors: Pope Harrison G. , Schnabel Jiana , Hudson James I.
Published: November 2022

In a bibliometric analysis, we used the PubMed search engine to count the number of publications identified by the search term “dissociative amnesia” for the years 2011–2020. We then counted publications from the same decade for five representative comparison disorders: “panic disorder,” “anorexia nervosa,” “obsessive–compulsive disorder,” “attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,” and “bipolar disorder.” Our search yielded only 89 publications for “dissociative amnesia,” and only seven of these involved localized or selective amnesia for specific events. By contrast, we found between 3000 and 21,000 publications for each of the five comparison disorders during 2011–2020. We performed several additional secondary analyses, all of which suggested that the diagnosis of “localized or selective dissociative amnesia” has generated little scientific interest in recent years. Examining possible hypotheses to explain this lack of interest, it appears most likely that the concept of localized or selective dissociative amnesia is not widely accepted among scientists at present.
Circadian Rhythm Changes in Healthy Aging and Mild Cognitive Impairment
Authors: Keihani Ahmadreza , Mayeli Ahmad , Ferrarelli Fabio
Published: November 2022

Disruptions in circadian rhythms can occur in healthy aging; however, these changes are more severe and pervasive in individuals with age‐related and neurodegenerative diseases, such as dementia. Circadian rhythm alterations are also present in preclinical stages of dementia, for example, in patients with mild cognitive impairments (MCI); thus, providing a unique window of opportunity for early intervention in neurodegenerative disorders. Nonetheless, there is a lack of studies examining the association between relevant changes in circadian rhythms and their relationship with cognitive dysfunctions in MCI individuals. In this review, circadian system alterations occurring in MCI patients are examined compared to healthy aging individuals while also considering their association with MCI neurocognitive alterations. The main findings are that abnormal circadian changes in rest‐activity, core body temperature, melatonin, and cortisol rhythms appear in the MCI stage and that these circadian rhythm disruptions are associated with some of the neurocognitive deficits observed in MCI patients. In addition, preliminary evidence indicates that interventions aimed at restoring regular circadian rhythms may prevent or halt the progress of neurodegenerative diseases and mitigate their related cognitive impairments. Future longitudinal studies with repeated follow‐up assessments are needed to establish the translational potential of these findings in clinical practice.

Magnetic skyrmions are localized particle‐like nontrivial swirls that are promising in building high‐performance topological spintronic devices. The read‐out functions in skyrmionic devices require the translation of magnetic skyrmions to electrical signals. Here, combined real‐space magnetic imaging and anisotropic magnetoresistance studies on dipolar skyrmions are reported. A single skyrmion chain and single skyrmion are observed using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy imaging. Meanwhile, the field, helicity, and skyrmion count dependence of anisotropic magnetoresistance of the Fe3Sn2 nanostructures are obtained simultaneously. These results demonstrate that the anisotropic magnetoresistance of skyrmions is independent of the helicity and proportional to the skyrmion count. This study promotes read‐out operations in skyrmion‐based spintronic devices.

Published: November 2022

Biomimetic smart nanochannels can regulate ion transport behavior responsive to the external stimuli, having huge potential in nanofluidic devices, sensors and energy conversion. Field‐effect nanofluidic diodes or transistors based on electric‐responsive nanochannels are emerging owing to their advantages such as non‐invasiveness, in situ, real time, and high efficiency. However, simultaneously realizing the voltage‐control of the ion conductance and ion current rectification (ICR) properties is still a big challenge. Here, a field‐effect iontronic device is developed based on ionomer/anodic aluminum oxide/conducting polymer sandwich‐structured nanochannel to realize the multi‐control of ion transport behaviors including ion conductance, ICR magnitude, and ICR direction by modulating the surface charge, wettability, and morphology of the nanochannel. The electroactive conducting polymer carries tunable surface charges responsive to the electric stimuli, leading to the regulation of ICR values. The complex three‐segment structures lead to the reverse of ICR direction by reconfiguring the charge distribution along with the whole channel. The switching wettability between hydrophilic and hydrophobic results in the regulation of ion conductance. Furthermore, the field‐effect iontronic device functions in a wide salinity range especially in hypersaline environment, due to the salinity‐adaptive properties of the membrane. A new route is provided for designing more functional field‐effect nanofluidic devices.
