OBJECTIVE. The article analyzed the experience of treatment of endometriosis-related pneumothorax (ERP). MATERIAL AND METHODS. The diagnosis of ERP was detected in 30 women at the period from 2004 to 2015. A control group consisted of 149 women. RESULTS. Statistically significant differences associated with presence of ERP were the elder age, right-side localization and recurrence course of disease. Diaphragmatic fenestrations and endometriotic ectopy and their combinations were specific findings in ERP-group. This group of patients characterized by frequent recurrences and higher rate of complications. The most effective method of treatment of ERP was diaphragm resection with pleurectomy and hormone therapy from 3 to 6 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS. Endometriosis-related pneumothorax could cause up to 34 % cases of spontaneous pneumothorax in women of reproductive age. Diaphragmatic fenestrations and endometriotic lesions were specific signs of EAP. Direct visual examination of the pleural cavity was inevitable for reliable diagnostics of the disease. Surgical treatment of ERP was determined by higher rates of complication and recurrence. Postoperative hormone therapy could significantly improve the results of surgical treatment of ERP.

Reducing the Pore Size of Covalent Organic Frameworks in Thin-Film Composite Membranes Enhances Solute Rejection
Authors: Corcos Amanda , Levato Gabrielle , Jiang Zhiwei , Evans Austin , Livingston Andrew , Marinas Benito , Dichtel William
Published: July 2019

Three imine-linked covalent organic framework (COF) films are incorporated as active layers into separate thin-film composite (TFC) membranes and tested for their ability to reject an organic pollutant surrogate and salt from water. The synthesized membranes consist of a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane supporting a TAPB-PDA-H, TAPB-PDA-Me, or TAPB-PDA-Et COF thin film. The latter two COFs direct six methyl and ethyl substituents per tiled hexagon into the pores, respectively, while maintaining the same topology across the series. These substituents decrease the effective pore size of the COF compared to the parent TAPB-PDA-H COF. The TAPB-PDA-Me membrane rejects Rhodamine-WT (R-WT) dye and NaCl better than the TAPB-PDA-H membrane, and the TAPB-PDA-Et membrane exhibits the best rejection overall. The solution-diffusion model used to analyze this permeation behavior indicates that there is a systematic difference in rejection as subsequent pendant groups are added to the interior of the COF pore. These findings demonstrate the concept of tuning the selectivity of COF membranes by systematically reducing the effective pore size within a given topology.

Protein folding occurs in a high dimensional phase space, and the representation of the associated energy landscape is non-trivial. A widely applied approach to studying folding landscapes is to describe the dynamics along a small number of reaction coordinates. However, other strategies involve more elaborate analysis of the complex phase space. There have been many attempts to obtain a more detailed representation of all available conformations for a given system. In this work, we address this problem using a metric based on internal distances between amino acids to describe the differences between any two conformations. Using an effective projection method, we are able to go beyond the usual one-dimensional representation and thus visualize landscapes in two dimensions. We refer to this method as Energy Landscape Visualization Method (ELViM). We have applied this methodology using Cα structure-based model (SBM) to study the folding of two well-known proteins: SH3 domain and Protein-A. Our visualization method yields a detailed description of the folding process, making possible the identification of transition state regions, and establishing the paths that lead to the native state. For SH3, we have analyzed structural differences in the distribution of folding routes. The competition between the native and mirror structures in protein A is discussed. Finally the method is applied to discuss the conformational changes of the Elongation Factor Thermally unstable (EF-Tu) and its transition states. Distinct features of the ELViM are that it does not require or assume an existence of a reaction coordinate, and it does not require kinetic information regarding the investigated system.
Modular Synthesis of Functionalized Butenolides by Oxidative Furan Fragmentation

Published: July 2019

The development of new chemical transformations to simplify the synthesis of valuable building blocks is a challenging task in organic chemistry and has been the focus of considerable research effort. From a synthetic perspective, it would be ideal if the natural reactivities of feedstock chemicals could be diverted to the production of high value-added compounds which are otherwise tedious to prepare. Here we report a chemical transformation that enables facile and modular synthesis of synthetically challenging yet biologically important functionalized butenolides from easily accessible furans. Specifically, Diels–Alder reactions between furans and singlet oxygen generate versatile hydroperoxide intermediates, which undergo iron(II)-mediated radical fragmentation in the presence of Cu(OAc)2 or various radical trapping reagents to afford butenolides bearing a wide variety of appended remote functional groups, including olefins, halides, azides and aldehydes. The practical utility of this transformation is demonstrated by easy diversification of the products by means of cross-coupling reactions and, most importantly, by its ability to simplify the syntheses of known building blocks of eight biologically active natural products.
Bitcoin’s Decentralized Decision Structure
Authors: Craig Ben R. , Kachovec Joseph
Published: July 2019

With the introduction of bitcoin, the world got not just a new currency, it also got evidence that a decentralized control structure could work in practice for institutional governance. This Commentary discusses the advantages and disadvantages of centralized and decentralized control structures by examining the features of the bitcoin payment system. We show that while the decentralized nature of the Bitcoin network "democratizes" payments, it is not obvious that the approach increases the equity or efficiency of markets or that the costs of the decentralized control structure won’t outweigh the benefits in the long run.

A grounded theory study: From barn to boardroom
Authors: Lord Robyn
Published: July 2019

Change management is at the forefront of many business leader’s minds and at the center of most boardrooms. Change is inevitable yet change for many is a very hard task. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2017 that the U.S. spent $63.2 billion on consulting costs, which is an 8.1% increase from $58.7 billion in 2016 (Shumsky, 2018). Many companies pay for high-level consultants to aid around organizational change. Many business leaders do not have an expertise in that area and find it difficult to administer change within an organization. The flip side to that scenario is that once the change proposal is in place, many employees fail to comply. The purpose of this study is to uncover the underlying beliefs that could affect why people resist change. The last thing a company wishes to do is waste valuable funds on change and have very few abided. It may be possible that the resistance is related to the long-standing belief systems that are already in place. A grounded theory study was conducted on the equine industry to uncover the reasons why some people are adopting or resisting in an industry that has not seen change in hundreds of years. The equine industry is a unique study model that has virtually stood the test of time, unchanged for centuries, and still strong. The industry saw a shift in core beliefs roughly thirty years ago and this new belief system is converting adopters in ways that is creating a new lifestyle. By uncovering the elements of those who resist or adopt, this research will shed some light on the core human reaction to change. These core beliefs can be applied to any business model through a new grounded theory proposed in this research.
The Content of Their Complexes:
Authors: Selig Jennifer L.
Published: July 2019

Since his first appearance before the collective psyche at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, Barack Obama has been compared to Martin Luther King, Jr. While the content of their characters may be similar, this article takes up the dissimilar content of their complexes. In The Wounded Researcher, Robert Romanyshyn wrote, “A complex is a kind of wounding, and for the wounded researcher it is both the obstacle and the pathway into the unfinished business in the soul of his or her work.” This article extends Romanyshyn’s theory into the realm of leadership, exploring the marriage of a wounded leader (King and Obama) and a wounded collective (America) with the same complex. That this sympathetic complex may prove an obstacle and provide a pathway into the unfinished work in the soul of both the leader and his or her followers was certainly true with King; will it hold true with Obama?
The Finer Forge:
Authors: Smith Jason E.
Published: July 2019

This paper explores work in the light of Jungian psychology.  There are two trends of ideas that can be discerned in Jung’s writings regarding the subject of work.  On the one hand, work is associated with the ego’s adaptation to life in the social world.  This view results in an opposition between external work—often called “real work”—and inner work.  Meaning is associated with inner work and is divorced from a primary activity of everyday life.  On the other hand, Jung takes an historical view of the work instinct and derives the appearance of work from the activity of the transformation of libido.  In this view, work is understood as a symbolic process reflecting an inner development. External work and ‘inner work’ are reunited in this attitude.  The figure of Hephaistos is employed to explore the archetypal background of the experience of work.  Fairy tales and poetry are used to illustrate the transformational nature of the Hephaistian energy that manifests in our work with its potential for both creative and destructive outcomes.
Surveying the Psyche:
Authors: Berthelsen Kathryn
Published: July 2019

The Guyanese novelist, poet and essayist, Wilson Harris is widely regarded as a key contributor to the postcolonial dialogue. However, Harris stands apart in that he is less concerned with conventional notions of cultural identity, and instead explores issues of postcolonial identity through encounters with the human psyche. Indeed, Harris’ writing takes on a profoundly psychological dimension when one considers it in relation to Jung’s seminal work with the collective unconscious, archetypes, and the restorative processes of alchemy and active imagination. In The Guyana Quartet, Wilson Harris uses Jungian thought to create a dream text that functions both as a map for identifying conflicting fragments of the Guyana psyche, and a mechanism for restoring these fragments to a state of unity.

Authors: Chrisylla Meielisa
Published: July 2019

As a place of holy worship, a Catholic Church should posses a sacred interior and exterior expression. Modernization has caused a good deal of this sacred expression of the Catholic Church to fade. As Catholic Church is a place of worship that supports all liturgical activities, semiotic theory are used to analyze and decipher its architecture to preserve sacredness.

The research methodology that was employed was qualitative methods using Peirce’s semiotic principles and their implementation in Church architecture. The principle was then used to analyze two case studies in every detail of their draw up. The area of planning encompassed: (1) Scope of the surrounding environment; (2) Scope of the site; (3) Scope of the form. This analysis employed semiotic principles that were elaborated with Catholic Church principles to create a guideline in the architectural planning of a Catholic Church.

The purpose of this research is to find the most dominant sacral expression between Santo Petrus Church and the Santa Perawan Maria Tujuh Kedukaan Church by means of the symbols attached to the architectural elements between these two Catholic Churches.

Authors: Rendy  , Santoni
Published: July 2019

Jakarta’s dense population has caused a disorder in the urban system by negatively impacting its streams. Therefore, this research aims to find out the urban district design criterias with rainwater harvesting system and how to implement them in residential areas of Kebon Melati, Tanah Abang. Data collecting techniques used in this research include literature studies, field observation, and interviews. The proposed solution to Jakarta’s rainwater problems is to design a district which incorporates the four potential urban design theory applications into it. The first theory is about land use related to storage and drainage system. The second theory is about vehicle circulation and pedestrian paths related to roadblock gaps and permeable materials. The third theory is about building mass and shape related to catchment area, conveyance, and green roof. The last theory is about open spaces related to water retention basins. The goal of this urban district design is to develop and decrease the speed of rainwater flow in Kebon Melati.

Published: July 2019

Public space is a place for social, economic and culture activity. Besides green open spaces, there are a lot of space along the river that have potential issues to be created as a public space. In fact, number of riversides are filled by slum area and there is no public space along the riparian. This research focused on the determining the chriterias of public space that support connectivity and incilining the number of activities. Theory that applied for this research is A Guide to Riverfront Development by Charles A. McLaren amd Public Space principle by Stephen Carr and Carmona. Kalijodo is one of the public spaces that will be studied because of its position faced in front of the river. Based on those theories, there are chitrerias that will be used to analyse the study casem which are comfort, activity, sociability, and more focus on access, including pedestrian access point, type and distribution of universal access and pedestrian priority. The result of this research could be summarised that physical access are attained by stairs and bridge that connect from river. Eventhough, Kalijodo must concern about visual access, addition of specific program to spread the activities and support by dense of vegetation to reach comfort.
Community Participation in The Development of Kampung Warna-warni Teluk Seribu In Balikpapan City
Authors: Mahagarmitha Rilia Rigina
Published: July 2019

The growth and development of the city is one of driving factors for the emergence of slums in urban areas. Slums are usually located on the outskirts of the city, an example of which can be found in Balikpapan known as “Kampung Nelayan” slum area.  A common condition takes place in other big cities in Indonesia, and this has led the government to formulate programs and policies by issuing government regulations Undang-undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2011 concerning to Housing and Human Settlement Areas.  It is stipulated in the regulation that “The management of slums must be carried out by the central  Government, local Government and/ or by every individuals”.  To improve the welfare and a better life quality, active community participation is needed to build sustainable habitable human settlements.  In order to explore more about this concept, a research was conducted at Kampung Nelayan Warna-warni Teluk Seribu. The research aims at learning more about the roles of the community and obstacles encountered in developing Kampung Nelayan Warna-warni Teluk Seribu. The method used is descriptive analysis through observation, interview, literatures study, and related documents. The result of the research shows that community participation plays a successful role in developing Kampung Nelayan Warna-warni Teluk Seribu as one of the tourist attractions in Balikpapan which, then, leads to economic enhancement of local community and Balikpapan city.

Toward a Multidimensional Conceptual Framework for Understanding “Servingness” in Hispanic-Serving Institutions: A Synthesis of the Research
Authors: Garcia Gina A. , Núñez Anne-Marie , Sansone Vanessa A.
Published: July 2019

Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are colleges and universities that enroll at least 25% Latinx students. Despite being recognized by the federal government since 1992, HSIs lack a historical mission to serve Latinxs. As such the idea of “servingness” has become an elusive concept. An abundance of literature centering HSIs has been published, yet there continues to be a debate about what it means to serve students. We conducted a systematic review of 148 journal articles and book chapters to better understand how researchers conceptualize the idea of servingness at HSIs. We identified four major themes used by researchers to conceptualize servingness: (1) outcomes, (2) experiences, (3) internal organizational dimensions, and (4) external influences. We also found that researchers are often unintentional in their efforts to conceptualize what it means to be an HSI. We offer a multidimensional conceptual framework of servingness to be used in research, policy, and practice.

Published: July 2019

If we want to understand the historical expansion of environmental awareness among the great public, then we must answer the questions, who communicated what to whom and how? In addition to traditional print media, television also presumably played a significant role in raising environmental issues to public consciousness. And yet, surprisingly enough, unlike with newspapers, empirical data about television is almost completely lacking. We simply do not know when, where, why and how television started to broadcast environmental news. Consequently our case study can be considered an entrée into the qualitative study of the environmental history of television. Our study focuses on Finnish Broadcasting Company and we explore how water pollution and protection issues were introduced on television to the Finnish public as a part of the 'long' emergence of modern environmental awareness prior to the Earth Day in 1970. The data sources consist of written content reports collected from the database of the television archives as well as digitised versions of original programme recordings. Relying on frame analysis, the article explores the glory days of television, a time when television network heads could expect that almost any programming would attract the undivided attention of its audience in all industrialised nations in the world.

The study is focused on identifying the patterns of territorial distribution of intellectual capital in the Russian Federation. The purpose of this article is to assess the level of imbalance in the geographical distribution of the leading institutions of higher education in the context of the transition to the knowledge economy and to assess their integration into the regional innovation systems. The study is based on a quantitative analysis and qualitative assessment of the statistical data of the National Universities Ranking and the Project of the Russian Cluster Observatory. A grouping of universities into quartiles according to the cumulative total score obtained in the ranking is held, with the preparation of cartographic material. The intellectual capital of the regions is compared with the specialization of regional clusters. The results of the study confirm the significant accumulation of the intellectual capital in the two largest cities – Moscow and St. Petersburg, both in quantitative and qualitative terms. At the same time, the ranking includes universities of all large urban agglomerations. A number of regions actively involve universities in cooperation with industry, while many leave this area without proper attention. At the same time, the main resource for implementing the strategy of innovation development for regional authorities is state universities. The awareness of the authorities on the complementarity and involvement of knowledge-generating institutions and sectoral clusters makes it possible to understand the actual status of the regional innovation system and ensure the effective implementation of the principles of territorial-adaptive regional policy. This is the first empirical research in the context of Russia, in which data are used to assess the quality of national universities from the perspective of knowledge geography. Universities are considered as key sources for ensuring the intellectual capital of regional innovation systems, and the applied methodological approach enables evaluating their potential and involvement in cooperation with industry clusters.

Published: July 2019

Higher school as a social institution aims at the formation of the most valuable resource of the XXI century that human capital is. Students are now an influential group of young people, and taking into consideration students’ “advanced” status, its social activity (including network) and socio-political and socio-economic potential, we can assume that it is the student youth, which de- termines the youth “agenda”. This makes constant research of students relevant and important, both at the theoretical and academic level of sociological science and at the level of applied knowledge focused on the constant monitoring of social well-being, lifestyle, values, opinions and activity of students in specific universities and in a whole country. Students are active participants of economic and social life; they have a significant political potential. The authors present the results of the monitoring of social well-being of first-year students at Kazan national research technological University. The method applied was a questionnaire study with the use of electronic resource. The article also dwells on the current state and trends of student studies, as well as the processes of their institutionalization. The authors emphasize the importance of sociological surveys of student life conducted with the help of student sociological labs.

Published: July 2019

Myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are immune cells that dampen immune responses. In patients with cancer, MDSC are associated with adverse oncologic outcomes and therapeutic resistance. Pre-clinical evidence suggests that MDSC suppress anti-tumor immune responses. In this report, the biologic functions of MDSC are defined and evidence linking MDSC with the response to cancer immunotherapies in solid tumors are reviewed. Associations of MDSC in clinical bladder cancer cohorts are outlined in addition to evaluation of the suggested roles of MDSC in pre-clinical bladder cancer models. Human clinical trials that investigate possible MDSC modulators are highlighted, and therapeutic strategies to leverage MDSC biology in bladder cancer immunotherapy are outlined.

Background:

Care navigation is an approach to personalized care management and care coordination that can help overcome barriers to care. Care navigation has not been extensively studied in dementia, where health care workforce innovations are needed as a result of increasing disease prevalence and resulting costs to the health care system.

Objective:

To identify facilitators and barriers to care navigation in dementia and to assess dementia caregiver satisfaction with care navigation.

Methods:

Methods include qualitative research (interviews, focus groups, observations) with “Care Team Navigators” (CTNs) who were part of a dementia care navigation program, the Care Ecosystem, and a quantitative survey with caregivers about their experiences with CTNs. Transcripts were analyzed to identify themes within the data.

Results:

CTNs identified the following facilitators to care navigation in dementia: working closely with caregivers; providing emotional support; tailoring education and resources; and coordinating with a clinical team around issues ranging from clinical questions to financial and legal decision-making. The barriers CTNS identified included burn-out, the progressive nature of the disease; coordinating with primary care providers; and identifying resources for dyads who are low-income, do not speak English, or live in rural areas. Caregivers across both sites highly rated CTNs, though satisfaction was higher among those in Nebraska and Iowa.

Conclusions:

Innovative approaches to care delivery in dementia are crucial. Care navigation offers a feasible model to train unlicensed people to deliver care as a way to deliver larger-scale support for the growing population of adults living with dementia and their caregivers.
