Authors: Haworth Kevin
Published: January 2020

This chapter describes the establishment of Noah Books, a publishing imprint co-founded by Rutu Modan and Yirmi Pinkus to revivify classic Hebrew comics characters through new illustrations. It examines the imprint's first offering, Modan's new version of Uri Cadduri, one of the earliest Hebrew comics characters. It explores the history of Uri Cadduri, created by Arieh Navon and Leah Goldberg, and how Modan's version updates the character while preserving the 1930s Hebrew of the original.
Black Culture, Music, and “Hep Phrasing” Permeated Radio
Authors: Baptiste Bala J.
Published: January 2020

In 1947, WJBW took a bold move. It began live remotes from a black nightclub, the Dew Drop Inn. In 1949 Vernon Winslow—who would become the city's first full-time black disk jockey at WWEZ—was unsuccessful convincing WJMR's management to hire him as a DJ. The station refused to hire a black man but made Winslow a consultant who created the black trickster character Poppa Stoppa and taught white men to speak in a hip black vernacular. After firing Winslow because he went on air as Poppa Stoppa, the Jax brewery picked him up to expand its black beer drinking market. It contracted with WWEZ for which Winslow created his DJ nickname, Dr. Daddy-O, and operated his new show “Jivin’ with Jax.”
Conclusion

Published: January 2020

Sociologist E. Franklyn Frazier published Black Bourgeoisie in 1957 noting that the African American press, particularly Ebony magazine, drastically overplayed the accomplishments of the black middle class. “The Negro Forum,” which emerged 11 years earlier in 1946, did similarly, but it could not be convincingly argued that the Forum overstated black accomplishments. Frazier suggested blacks were serving their own need for attention, while Taylor provided his listeners models of black excellence and achievement. He became somewhat Afrocentric before the theory's rise in the 1980s. Afrocentricity places African Americans at the center, as the main focus of analysis of social phenomena. Nevertheless, this thick historiography of pioneering broadcasters noted that early advertisers used innovative techniques to push beer into the black communities. Future studies should consider the effects contemporary black radio announcers might have if they organized concerted efforts to broadcast conscious messages such as those intended to stop black-on-black murder.
The Anatomy of Thrift: Markets, Media, and William Faulkner’s Great Depression
Authors: Jackson Robert
Published: January 2020

This chapter discusses Faulkner's turn to short fiction around 1930 as evidence of his reckoning with the broad market pressures that would leave a powerful imprint on his entire literary career.Reading "Thrift" (1930), one of Faulkner's earliest stories to be published in a national magazine, as a complex meditation on the penetration of economic concerns into every corner of human existence, and considering the story's placement amid Faulkner's most creative years of work (during the early years of the Great Depression), the chapter seeks to demonstrate that a greater attention on the financial motives and constraints in Faulkner's life and work will illuminate many of these texts, and the economic and social histories in which they were produced, in complex ways.
Pictorialism, Prolixity, and Spatial Form in Faulkner’s Post-Hollywood Racial Imaginary
Authors: Lurie Peter
Published: January 2020

Faulkner's modernism founds its footing with his first great experimental novels and their use of interior monologue to meditate on Southern identity and the region's class ills.Following Sanctuary's 1931 publishing and the first studio contract it prompted, Faulkner's fiction altered, becoming more expansive and encompassing.This paper describes the broadened social and formal "scale" of Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha novels and considers what role his encounter with the film medium played in this development.Faulkner's work had always betrayed his interest in pictorialism. Yet as several examples suggest, this tendency increased and broadened across his later career.This paper uses ideas from image theory such as W.J.T. Mitchell's "metapictures" to suggest a relationship between Faulkner's remunerations in Hollywood and the expanded lexical, syntactic, and formal workings-as well as the broadened historical and racial considerations-in his Post-Hollywood novels
Legacy: The Currency of Eternity
Authors: Burgess Gloria J.
Published: January 2020

This chapter discusses the intertwined legacies of Mr. Earnest McEwen, Jr., the author's father, and his life-changing relationship with William Faulkner. As his benefactor, Faulkner paid for Mr. McEwen to attend Alcorn A&M College (now Alcorn University), transforming the trajectory of the McEwen family for all time. Faulkner's gift was given with no strings attached; he only asked that Mr. McEwen help someone else when he was able to do so. After Mr. McEwen's untimely death, the author's mother, Mildred Blackmon McEwen, gave her blessing to share the story about her husband's fateful encounter with Faulkner and their subsequent friendship. Infused with gratitude, this chapter lifts up two men who respected one another's dignity and humanity at a time in our nation's history when this behavior was at odds with the cultural, political, and social norms.
Mink Snopes’s Shavasana: Body, Relation, and Exchange in Faulkner’s Economies of Being
Authors: Heryford Ryan
Published: January 2020

This chapter will argue for Faulkner's use of bodies, both living and dead, in complicating the historical transition from an economy of relation to an economy of exchange in the US South.Exploring both the corporeal ambiguity of characters like Thomas Sutpen, DarlBundren, Flem and Ike Snopes, as well as a general poetics of bodies across Faulkner's writings, where characters fall into a rhetorical or mythic assembly with the earth itself, what in yogic practice is often referred to as shavasanaor "corpse pose," this chapter will suggest that the bodies of Faulkner's fiction offer a different narrative of the post-1865 US South, as a place of precarity and possibility, where communities and individuals had to redefine and re-inhabit new modes of personhood, agency, and subjectivity in an emergent open market.

To understand the world, you have to understand a place like Mississippi.

—Willie Morris, attributed to William Faulkner1

For most of its two hundred years of existence, the state of Mississippi has maintained a hold on the American imagination out of all proportion to its modest size and its location far from the main centers of American power. Writers and other artists of great talent have addressed Mississippi’s culture, its landscape, its economy, its racial sins, and its racial promise. But no one has comprehensively examined the evolution of Mississippi’s legal system or examined the role that law has played in the state’s larger culture. This book, written as Mississippi marks its bicentennial, aims to create a broader understanding of the state from this heretofore little-explored perspective....
Flush Times, Hard Times: Law, Jacksonism, and a Cotton Economy
Authors: Ranney Joseph A.
Published: January 2020

American states implemented many important legal reforms during the age of Andrew Jackson. Mississippi, always enthusiastic for Jackson, pioneered several of those reforms but was slow to adopt others. Mississippi was the first state to provide for popular election of all its judges (1832) and at the urging of Piety Smith Hadley, an underappreciated figure in women’s history, it was the first to give women the right to control their own property (1839). Mississippi judges strongly resisted federal judges’ efforts to limit the extent to which legislatures could regulate corporations. Mississippi legislators actively regulated banks and other fledgling corporations but also guaranteed many banks’ obligations in order to sustain the credit system on which the state’s cotton economy relied. When early banks failed and their obligations fell due, Mississippi, unlike most Jacksonian states, repudiated its guarantees and rejected legal challenges to repudiation.
“Who’s Your Daddy?”
Authors: Bronner Simon J.
Published: January 2020

The colloquial interrogative question "Who's Your Daddy?" was reported widely from the 1990s into the early twenty-first century in sports to ridicule an opponent. Journalists called it a new tradition of irreverent college youth. Research shows that this piece of folklore has a much longer history and various edgy meanings from its frontier beginnings referring to the authoritarian "daddy" in Washington to racially tinged urban slang for pimping. In the context of the twenty-first century, it served psychologically beyond sports to represent male insecurities about threats to patriarchy.

But it was fitting like a tight chemise. I couldn’t see it for wearing it.

—Zora Neale Hurston, Mules and Men (1935)

Although we do not sign formal contracts when we become folklorists, there seems to be a traditional and often unspoken assumption that it is our obligation to perform certain types of cultural work directed toward implicitly sanctioned goals. This implied contract, like all contracts, also has implied terms. In law, implied contractual terms are those terms that are not explicitly stated but assumed to exist by tradition. Implied terms cover a lot of ground, from the presumption that the seller of an object has the legal right to sell to the belief that part of the secretary’s job is to get his boss coffee. Implied terms are where law and culture come together, opening a space to work ...
Our Lady of Authenticity: Folklore’s Articles of Faith
Authors: Mullins Willow G.
Published: January 2020

Beginning with some of our keywords—authenticity, vernacular, and genre—and one folklorist’s crisis of belief, this opening chapter questions the folklorists’ investment in the tenets of folklore studies by looking behind the curtain of academic discourse to consider our belief in the language we use. Her argument rests on the seemingly simple claim that every mode of thought contains an element of faith. Here, Mullins seeks to peek behind the veil of our articles of faith.

Roger’s relationship with Pawnee culture receives special attention.
Misanthropelore
Authors: Richardson Todd
Published: January 2020

Using examples form the comics of Daniel Clowes, this chapter considers the roots, manifestations and expressive dimensions of disaffiliation. Focused as it is on the shared aspects of expressive culture, mainstream conceptualizations of folklore struggle to assess how individuals creatively convey the absence of belonging. Richardson uses Daniel Clowes’s comics in order to assess and analyze the performance of disaffiliation. In each instance, misanthropelore is not necessarily about a lack or loss of shared identity, which is how conventional folklore scholarship approaches it; misanthropelore, rather, is a refusal of shared identity through the creative expression of absence.
The Folklore of Small Things
Authors: Mullins Willow G.
Published: January 2020

Folklore has often perceived itself as a study of the marginalized, the non-elite, the vernacular, but folklorists have often sought out examples of excellence within the each genre. While folklorists have tried to show the extraordinariness of the commonplace by highlighting the moment of folkloric immanence, vignettes, as John Dorst describes them, have tended towards the opposite, the shockingly mundane, the small things. One might wonder what has been missed in the search for the moments of performative excellence that have traditionally been the focus of folklore research. What of the folklore of small things, the folklore that appears in unrecorded moments, just before or after the recorder is on or in spaces where we did not think to record in the first place because we were off the folklorist clock?
“Judas!”
Authors: Richardson Todd
Published: January 2020

This chapter considers the curious absence of folklorists in the conversation surrounding Bob Dylan’s Nobel Prize in Literature. It discusses Dylan’s complex relationship with the American Folk Revival and, by association, folklore studies. It concludes by considering Dylan’s robust plagiarism within the context of “the folk process.”
Folklore in Vacuo (and Other Disciplinary Predicaments)
Authors: Richardson Todd
Published: January 2020

In the form of a lyric essay, this chapter interrogates the motives and methods of mainstream folklore scholarship. The author identifies a variety of factors that discourage folklorists from taking more expressive chances in order to understand the specialized style that has come to dominate folklore scholarship. This hyper-professionalization of folkloristic writing has, the author argues, led to what Benjamin Botkin once called “folklorists talking to themselves or folklore in vacuo.” In order to make folklore studies resonate with a broader audience, the author calls for folkloristic writing that is more imaginative and less thesis-driven, writing that invites the curious in rather than excluding them in the name of scholarly prestige.

The availability of land for forage development is important to support cattle and buffalo production in Indonesia. The government is paying great attention to accelerate cattle and buffalo populations in Indonesia, one of of the Ministry of Agriculture program UPSUS SIWAB to increase cattle and buffalo population has been established. To support this program, sufficient forage and concentrate are crucial. Usually, the development of forage is allocated on the sub-optimal land and one alternative to sub-optimal land is ex-coal mined land. There are several challenges in forage production including pH, the composition of organic matter, low soil microorganisms and heavy metals. These problems can be minimized by adding organic matter, organic fertilizer, microorganism such fungi mycorrhizae and phytoremediation.

Can rutin ameliorate aluminum phosphide-induced acute cardiac toxicity in adult albino rats?
Authors: M. Abo El Wafa Sahar , A. El Noury Heba
Published: January 2020

Current management of rice tablet or aluminium phosphide (AlP) poisoning has remained mostly supportive despite of its fatal outcome and unfortunately no antidote is found yet, therefore, there is a need to search for a treatment that can adequately protect against its toxicity. To the best of our knowledge, there are no studies until now concerning the cardioprotective effect of rutin against AlP cardiac toxicity in rats. For this purpose, this study was carried out to investigate the possible protective effect of rutin against AlP induced cardiotoxicity in rats. Forty male albino rats were randomly divided into four groups. Group I: normal control group was served as untreated rats and received distilled water orally through a gastric tube. Group II: Rutin treated group received a dose of 100 mg/kg rutin dissolved in distilled water and given orally through a gastric tube. Group III: AlP intoxicated rats received AlP oral single sub-lethal dose (2 mg/Kg body weight) dissolved in distilled water and given through a gastric tube. Group IV: AlP intoxicated rats + Rutin treated one hour after receiving AlP in doses as mentioned above. After that we tested the following parameters: ECG changes including HR and ST-segment elevation, serum level of TNF-Î±, IL-6 and H-FABP (pg/ml), antioxidant and Oxidant parameters in cardiac tissue as GSH, SOD, and MDA, apoptotic factor caspase-3 and histopathological examination of cardiac tissue was also included. The results showed that treatment with rutin caused a significant decrease in heart rate and ST segment elevation, a significant decrease in activity of TNF-Î± and IL-6 and levels of H-FABP also a significant decrease in the activity of SOD with decreased levels of MDA and caspase-3 level and a significant increase in the level of GSH compared to (AlP) intoxicated group, also histopathological changes induced by AlP improved after treatment with rutin. It is concluded that AlP intoxication caused ECG, biochemical and histopathological changes which were potentially improved with rutin.Â Â

Authors: Manoori Muhammad Tahir , Atiq-ur-Rehman Atiq-ur-Rehman , Jamil Muhammad , Ishfaq Muhammad
Published: January 2020

The present study aims to explore the potential application of Bai Salam (forward sale agreement) as substitute financial instrument in the agriculture sector of Pakistan. The conclusion is drawn through a survey questionnaire from 300 farmers and bankers in a district of Punjab. For analysis, we use SPSS software and presented the results by using descriptive methods. This study overall concludes the banker’s and farmer’s awareness, willingness, risks, hurdles and the role of institutions in the Salam promotion. The majority of the farmers are not aware of the Salam contract because the Islamic bank’s branch network is limited to urban areas and there is no proper promotion campaign launched by the Islamic banks for awareness about Salaam among the farmers. Bankers are reluctant to finance the tenants, orchards due to more operational risk for the bank. Bankers opinion that small farmers do not have personal securities which is not a solid reason because half of the sampled farmers take a loan from the formal system if they can provide securities to conventional interest-based institution why they can’t provide securities to Islamic financial institutions? There is a vast market for the Islamic Banks if they sincerely pay their attention towards forward sale contracts. The concept applies to all areas of agriculture and livestock farming to overcome financing problems and boost production.

The alms payer are disputatively increase then the society will feel welfare of the distributed result of alms to the people. Moreover, everyone has more money to pay taxes especially those belong from low incomes, whose earnings have to be cut again by the income tax paid, which doesn’t mention the religious absolute obligation to pay zakat mal.Originality of Work: The study investigates a comparative analysis between two different deduction systems on income. Furthermore, this study also helps policy makers for real implication of alms in the country and creates reform of monetary system for financial institutions.
Did Global Financial Crisis Impact the Islamic Banking Efficiencies? Evidence from Malaysian Islamic Banks
Authors: Samad Abdus
Published: January 2020

First, this paper investigated the loan and deposit efficiencies of Malaysian Islamic banks during 2008-2013 applying the non-parametric technique, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), and found that the average technical efficiency (TE) of loan financing was 83%, 88%, 87%, 95%, 100%, and 94% and the average technical efficiency for deposit mobilizations was 87%, 94%, 94%, 96%, 92%, and 96%. Only four banks in 2008, two bank in 2009, three banks in 2010, two banks in 2011-2013 are both technically and scale efficient in loan production. On the other hand, only four banks in 2008 and 2009, five banks in 2010 and 2011, three banks in 2012, and five banks in 2013 are both technical and scale efficient in deposit mobilizations. Second, the paper compares the efficiencies of Islamic banks between the global financial crisis (GFC) and the post global financial crisis (PGFC) in determining whether the efficiencies of banks between the GFCP and PGFCP are stable. Both parametric and non-parametric tests found no significant difference in the efficiencies between the two periods suggesting that the efficiencies of the Malaysian Islamic banks were stable.

KHABARUL WAHID DALAM PANDANGAN ASY-SYAFI'I DALAM KITAB AR-RISALAH
Authors: Zamzabela Sholahuddin , Abror Indal
Published: January 2020

Pada akhir abad kedua hijriah, ketika dunia Islam diramaikan dengan golongan yang menolak sunnah, baik keseluruhan ataupun yang wahid saja, Imam Syafi’i tampil sebagai seorang yang membela dan mempertahankan khabar al-wahid. Adapun yang dimaksud dengan khabar al-wahid dalam kitab al-Risalah adalah khabar yang berasal dari seseorang kepada seseorang yang lain hingga berakhir kepada Nabi saw atau berakhir kepada selain Nabi saw. Meski memiliki istilah yang hampir sama, khabar al-wahid memiliki titik perbedaan dengan khabar al- ahad atau dalam kajian `ulumul hadis lebih dikenal dengan istilah hadis ahad. Titik perbedaan tersebut terletak pada jumlah periwayat yang dimaksud pada masing-masing istilah. Ahad diartikan dengan jumlah yang lebih dari tiga tetapi tidak sampai derajat mutawattir, sementara Imam Syafi`i mengartikan wahid hanya diriwayatkan oleh satu orang perawi. Walaupun demikian, keduanya mempunyai kesamaan bahwasanya khabarul wahid dan khabarul ahad tidaklah mencapai derajat mutawatir. Dalam kaitannya dengan penetapan khabar al-wahid sebagai hujjah, kriteria kehujjahan yang ditetapkan al-Syafi’ merupakan kriteria yang cukup ketat dan lengkap. Para ulama fikih dan hadis sebelumnya, hanya mensyaratkan perawi yang tsiqah dalam penerimaan khabar al-wahid tanpa ada syarat yang lain, sementara syarat yang ditetapkan oleh sl-Syafi’i ini tampaknya merupakan syarat digunakan oleh para ahli hadis dewasa ini dengan berbagai pengembangan.
Victimización directa e indirecta y síntomas de estrés postraumático en estudiantes universitarios del Noreste de México

Published: January 2020

En México, sobre todo en los estados del noreste del país, en los últimos años la violencia se ha exacerbado y, a su vez, ha incrementado sus implicaciones en la salud mental de los jóvenes, principalmente con el desarrollo de síntomas del trastorno por estrés postraumático (TEPT). Teniendo esto en cuenta, en el presente estudio se tuvo como objetivo identificar los tipos de victimización (directa o indirecta) que viven los jóvenes universitarios ante la violencia comunitaria, así como determinar los síntomas de estrés postraumático que presentaban, e identificar la relación entre los tipos de victimización y los síntomas del TEPT. En total, participaron 500 jóvenes universitarios de un estado del noreste del país, a quienes se les aplicó la Escala de Victimización y la Escala Breve del Desorden del Estrés Postraumático. Como resultados, los participantes reportaron un promedio de siete sucesos de victimización tanto directa como indirecta, siendo más frecuente la indirecta. Aunque se observa una relación directa e indirecta entre la victimización y la presencia de síntomas del TEPT, solo la victimización indirecta resultó ser una variable predictora de síntomas del TEPT. Se propone que, junto a las políticas de prevención y reducción del delito, deben crearse políticas de reducción del miedo al crimen en la población.
Experiencias y retos del uso de datos de aplicaciones móviles para la movilidad urbana
Authors: Sabino Anna-Beatriz , Reis-Martins Pedro , Carranza-Infante Mauricio
Published: January 2020

Resumen

La planeación de la movilidad urbana requiere utilización de datos masivos para apoyar la toma de decisiones y realizar proyecciones estratégicas, es así como muchos gobiernos locales no poseen la capacidad para generar los datos necesarios. Sin embargo, empresas privadas como Waze Moovit, Stava y Uber (gestores de aplicativos móviles de movilidad) tienen la capacidad de producir estos datos y, además, han demostrado su disponibilidad para compartirlos y así mejorar las condiciones de la planeación de la movilidad en las ciudades. En América del Sur, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo y Medellín, son casos de ciudades que se convirtieron en ejemplos de innovación en el de uso de datos. Con base en la experiencia de estas ciudades y en encuestas aplicadas con representantes de empresas gestoras de Apps de movilidad y de gobiernos, en este artículo se propone un modelo de tres niveles para el uso de datos en beneficio de la gestión y planeación de la movilidad urbana. El modelo propuesto tiene como objetivo trazar parámetros que ayuden a las ciudades a desarrollar una visión en cuanto al potencial de los datos para generar acciones y políticas públicas de movilidad urbana.

Abstract

Urban mobility planning is included in a global scenario of increasing use of massive data to support decision making. However, many local governments do not have a structure that produces the data necessary to base their strategic projections. At the same time, private companies - such as Waze and Moovit (mobile application mobility managers) - have the ability to produce this data and, in addition, have demonstrated their availability to share them and thus improve planning conditions in cities. Nevertheless, managing this data and using it for the benefit of better urban planning and management is not a simple task. In South America, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Medellín have overcome important obstacles in this trajectory and became examples of innovation in the use of data. Based on the experience of these cities - and on surveys conducted with representatives of mobile apps companies and governments -, this article proposes a three-level model for the use of data for the benefit of urban mobility management and planning. The proposed model is in its initial stage and aims to draw parameters that help cities to develop a vision regarding the potential of data to generate actions and public policies of urban mobility.

Keywords: Mobility apps; Big data; collaborative traffic management; Smart mobility; traffic planning; urban planification; transport; Smart Cities.

Humanistically oriented, qualitative educational studies allow learning about and supporting the processes of social change, including the development of schools directed towards the implementation of the idea of inclusive education. Evaluation research seems to be particularly useful for achieving this goal. The results presented in the article are a part of the extensive material collected in field research, which was conducted in the years 2015-2018 in eight schools of Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship. The aim of the study was to describe school community activity and the subjective and intersubjective structure of the meaning of entities creating space for the implementation of students’ educational needs. The article presents the beliefs of parents and teachers on the educational partnership of schools and family, as well as barriers in its development, reconstructed on the basis of data originated from group discussions conducted in one of the schools that participated in the research.

The article focuses on healthy longevity. The starting point is the assumption that a long and healthy life, much as it is genetically– and environmentally-dependent, is likewise related to one’s lifestyle. The text tries to indicate which elements of the lifestyle contribute to healthy longevity. To this end, the article reviews approaches and theoretical concepts on healthy ageing and provides empirical data gathered in longevity zones worldwide, called the Blue Zones by National Geographic researchers. Analysis confirmedK. Wisniewska-Roszkowska’s observations that a long and healthy life depends on a proper diet, physical activity and care for mental health. The author has suggested that the obe-sity index should be an indicator of ageing pathology.

Published: January 2020

Aerogels are regarded as the superior thermal insulating materials for wide range of temperatures, from cryogenic insulation, cold water diving garments to high temperature applications and even to defense and aerospace applications. For most of such applications, the aerogels are used in composite form rather than monolithic form as aerogels are fragile in nature due to its high porosity of up to 98%. These composites constitute aerogel infiltrated fiber mats to give flexibility, on the other hand, compromises on the insulation performance due to reinforcing aerogel with fibers that have comparatively higher thermal conductivity than silica aerogel. To increase the efficiency, density of the fiber mat needs to be reduced to incorporate higher loading of silica aerogel. Many techniques are being used to study the insulation performance of these composites. This paper presents about the study of insulation performance of fibre mats with different aerogel content and composition using a well-known thermography technique. The morphological, compositional, thermal and physical studies of the fiber mats and its composites using FESEM, EDAX, BET, thermal conductivity etc., are discussed.

The objective of this paper is to characterize the distribution of the condition number of a complex Gaussian matrix. Several new distributional properties of the distribution of the condition number of a complex Gaussian matrix are given. Based on such distributional properties, some characterizations of the distribution are given by truncated moment, order statistics and upper record values.
Automated evaluation of the surface point quality in dimensional X-ray computed tomography

Published: January 2020

X-ray computed tomography (CT) enables dimensional measurements of numerous measurands with a single scan, including the measurement of inner structures. However, measurement artefacts complicate the applicability of the technology in some cases. This paper presents a methodology to assess the surface point quality of computed tomography measurements without the requirement of a CAD model. Measurement artefacts lowering the surface point quality can therefore automatically be detected. The correlation of quality values with the random measurement error is demonstrated. The presented method can in principle be used to weight single fit points to reduce the measurement uncertainty of CT measurements.
Cortical Overlap and Cortical-Hippocampal Interactions Predict Subsequent True and False Memory

The declarative memory system allows us to accurately recognize a countless number of items and events, particularly those strengthened by repeated exposure. However, increased familiarity due to repetition can also lead to false recognition of related but new items, particularly when mechanisms supporting fine-grain mnemonic discrimination fail. The hippocampus is thought to be particularly important in separating overlapping cortical inputs during encoding so that similar experiences can be differentiated. In the current study of male and female human subjects, we examine how neural pattern similarity between repeated exemplars of a given concept (e.g., apple) influences true and false memory for target or lure images. Consistent with past work, we found that subsequent true recognition was related to pattern similarity between concept exemplars and the entire encoding set (global encoding similarity), particularly in ventral visual stream. In addition, memory for an individual target exemplar (a specific apple) could be predicted solely by the degree of pattern overlap between the other exemplars (different apple pictures) of that concept (concept-specific encoding similarity). Critically, subsequent false memory for lures was mitigated when high concept-specific similarity in cortical areas was accompanied by differentiated hippocampal representations of the corresponding exemplars. Furthermore, both true and false memory entailed the reinstatement of concept-related information at varying levels of specificity. These results link both true and false memory to a measure of concept strength expressed in the overlap of cortical representations, and importantly, illustrate how the hippocampus serves to separate concurrent cortical overlap in the service of detailed memory.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTIn some instances, the same processes that help promote memory for a general idea or concept can also hinder more detailed memory judgments, which may involve differentiating between closely related items. The current study shows that increased overlap in cortical representations for conceptually-related pictures is associated with increased recognition of repeated concept pictures. Whether similar lure items were falsely remembered as old further depended on the hippocampus, where the presence of more distinct representations protected against later false memory. This work suggests that the differentiability of brain patterns during perception is related to the differentiability of items in memory, but that fine-grain discrimination depends on the interaction between cortex and hippocampus.

Context

Cardiovascular disease is one of the main causes of morbidity in active acromegaly due to the increased prevalence of risk factors and arterial consequences of increased growth hormone levels. No in vivo study has evaluated the consequences of acromegaly on the retinal microvasculature.

Objective

The aim of this study was to identify in vivo the presence of morphological alterations of retinal arterioles in subjects with acromegaly.

Patients and methods

Single-center retrospective study of a cohort of 60 subjects with acromegaly, matched to 60 controls, who were referred for adaptive optics camera (AOC) from September 2014 to December 2016. Of the subjects with acromegaly, 19 had an active disease (AD) and 41 a controlled disease (CD) based on the IGF1 ratio (IGF1r). Retinal arteriolar remodeling was previously assessed using adaptive optics camera (AOC) in order to measure wall-to-lumen ratio (WLR), wall thickness (WT), internal diameter (ID) and wall cross sectional area (WCSA).

Results

WLR was significantly higher in AD subjects compared to CD subjects and controls (AD: 0.311 ± 0.06, CD: 0.279 ± 0.04, controls: 0.281 ± 0.04, P = 0.031). A significant positive correlation was observed between WLR and IGF-1r (R2 = 0.215, P < 0.001), even after adjustment for gender, age, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and the presence of dopamine agonist treatment (R2 = 0.406, P < 0.001). Retinal arteriolar anatomical indices were comparable between CD and controls.

Conclusion

Active acromegaly is associated with the presence of small retinal arteriolar remodeling. These results provide new perspectives to better stratify cardiovascular risk and consequently optimize treatment in acromegaly.
Beyond the adrenals: Organ manifestations in inherited primary adrenal insufficiency in children
Authors: Kamrath Clemens
Published: January 2020

Primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) in children is mostly due to genetic defects. The understanding of the molecular genetics of the causes of adrenal insufficiency in the pediatric population has made significant progress during the last years. It has been shown that inherited PAI can lead to certain clinical manifestations and health problems in children beyond the adrenals. Organ dysfunctions associated with different forms of PAI in children include a wide range of organs such as gonads, brain, heart, bone, growth, bone marrow, kidney, skin, parathyroid, and thyroid. Diagnosing the correct genetic cause of PAI in children is therefore crucial to adequately control long-term treatment and follow-up in such patients.
