Published: June 2018

Genetic variability for stem cell wall (CW) digestibility could be exploited to improve rumen‐fermentable energy in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) forage. We evaluated in the field the response to recurrent selection for stem CW digestibility in alfalfa. Digestibility was assessed as the concentration of glucose released after enzymatic hydrolysis of fiber (enzyme‐released glucose, ERG). Two initial cultivars, 54V54 and Orca, and populations obtained after successive cycles of divergent selection for stem CW digestibility (D−1, D−2, D+1, and D+2) were established at three field sites in north, central, and south of Québec. Field trials conducted over two growing seasons showed that populations obtained after two selection cycles (D+2) had significantly higher CW digestibility (+20.7 mg ERG g−1 CW) than initial cultivars (average of 13% improvement of digestibility). The D+2 populations did not differ from the initial cultivars with regard to biomass yield, winter survival, and stem water soluble‐carbohydrate concentration. Increases of ERG concentrations were observed in response to each selection cycle, and broad‐sense heritability highlights a moderate control of genetic factors over environmental factors for CW digestibility. Recurrent selection for stem CW digestibility is a valuable approach to increase fermentable energy in alfalfa forage and improve N utilization by ruminants.

Core Ideas

CO2–C isotopic composition discriminates sources and shows mixing.

The shallow root zone is key in shallow CO2 and CH4 production and cycling.

Differences in CO2 and CH4 distributions are explained by interactions with pore water.

Elevated tritium, radiocarbon, Hg, and volatile organic compounds associated with low‐level radioactive waste (LLRW) at the USGS Amargosa Desert Research Site (ADRS) have stimulated research on factors and processes that affect contaminant gas distribution and transport. Consequently, we examined the sources, mixing, and biogeochemistry of CO2 and CH4, two additional important species in the unsaturated zone at ADRS. In spring 2015 and 2016, shallow unsaturated zone gas samples were collected from the 1.5‐m depth both inside and outside the LLRW disposal area. Samples also were collected from two 110‐m‐deep multilevel gas‐sampling boreholes and a distant background site. These samples were analyzed for CO2 mole fraction (xCO2) and C isotopic composition (δ13C‐CO2) and CH4 mole fraction (xCH4). Graphical analysis of the results indicates mixing of CO2 characteristic of the root zone (δ13C −18 to −19‰), deep soil gas of the capillary fringe (−13 to −15‰), and CO2 produced by microbial respiration of organic matter disposed in the LLRW trenches (−22 to −25‰). Distribution of CH4 overall reflects atmospheric sources and production in anaerobic microzones in the LLRW area and methanotrophy in the undisturbed shallow subsurface outside the LLRW area. Although xCH4 reflecting lateral transport from the LLRW area is decreasing with time in the deep profiles, deep unsaturated zone xCO2 has changed little in recent decades. The results imply that CH4 and δ13C‐CO2 may serve as good tracers of anthropogenic effects in the unsaturated zone even when CO2 primarily reflects natural processes.
Angola: (Re-)Imaginar o Nascimento de uma Nação no Cinema Militante
Authors: Piçarra Maria do Carmo
Published: June 2018

Este artigo procura contribuir para o estudo sobre como, durante o Estado Novo, em  Angola, os filmes foram usados, por via da militância política, como instrumento ao serviço da luta de libertação. Após contextualizar o uso do cinema pelos movimentos independentistas das ex-colónias portuguesas, questiono se a actividade cineclubista em Angola contribuiu para o surgimento de um cinema de causas e se o facto da luta pela independência de Angola ter sido mostrada em reportagens internacionais filmadas foi determinante para o uso do filme como uma arma, ainda antes da influência do manifesto “Towards a Third Cinema” (1969), de Solanas e Getino. Particularizo o caso do uso do cinema pelo MPLA e analiso, num estudo de caso central para a história do cinema feito em África, os filmes “angolanos” de Sarah Maldoror que adaptam cinematograficamente os contos de Luandino Vieira sobre militância e encarceramento colonial.
Upending Hegemonic Masculinity in Soror Maria do Céu’s Clavel, y Rosa
Authors: Halling Anna-Lisa
Published: June 2018

While most early modern authors align themselves with normative views on gender, Soror Maria do Céu (1658-1753) resists and subverts this tradition in her play Clavel, y Rosa, breve comedia aludida a los desposorios de María y Joseph (Carnation and Rose, a brief play on the marriage of Mary and Joseph, 1736). She achieves this in part by creating "feminine" male characters and assigning "masculine" characteristics to her female characters. Soror Maria affords more power and authority to women in her comedia, and she likewise undermines the validity of early modern social expectations related to men and masculinity by scrutinizing gender norms. In the end, Soror Maria creates a space of negotiation between the masculine and the feminine that allows for a reassessment of what it meant to be a man in late seventeenth-century Iberia.
Queering Gender Through Texture: Possession and Decadence in Mário de Sá- Carneiro's A confissão de Lúcio
Authors: Pechstein Israel
Published: June 2018

Departing from Renu Bora’s notion of the queerness of textures, this article seeks to understand how locating the queer textures of Mário de Sá-Carneiro’s 1914 novella, A confissão de Lúcio, emphasizes the work’s engagement with questions of gender, modernity, and decadence. Sá-Carneiro’s take on modernity has been described as decadent partly because of his refusal or failure to resolve issues of artistic representation with respect to modernity. Approaching A confissão through the queerness of tactility offers a unique insight into the peculiar relationship between the novella’s narrator-protagonist, Lúcio Vaz, his friend Ricardo de Loureiro, and Ricardo’s wife Marta. Through an exploration of Ricardo’s framing of relationships in terms of gendered possession, this article examines Sá-Carneiro’s ultimately fraught and decadent figuration of modernity.

Pond walls: inclined planes to improve pathogen removal in pond systems for wastewater treatment?
Authors: Hawley A. L. , Fallowfield H. J.
Published: June 2018

Attenuation of sunlight in wastewater treatment ponds reduces the depth of the water exposed to disinfecting irradiances. Shallow pond depth with paddlewheel rotation increases exposure of pathogens to sunlight in high rate algal ponds. Generation of thin films, using pond walls as inclined planes, may increase inactivation of pathogens by increasing sunlight exposure. The performance of a laboratory based model system incorporating an inclined plane (IP) was evaluated. F-RNA bacteriophage, in tap water or wastewater, was exposed to sunlight only on the IP with the bulk water incubated in the dark. MS2 inactivation was significantly higher when the IP was present (P < 0.05) with a 63% increase observed. Prolonged exposure increased MS2 die-off irrespective of IP presence. Versatility of the IP was also demonstrated with faster inactivation observed in both optically clear tap water and wastewaters. IPs of different surface areas produced similar inactivation rates when operated at similar hydraulic loading rates regardless of slope length.

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality, and
associated with an important economic burden globally. Over the last decade, the prevalence of CVD has been
rising globally, and is now associated with millions of death annually in both developed and developing countries.
There is good evidence that the immune system is involved in the pathophysiology of CVD. Toll-like receptors
(TLRs) and their down-stream signaling pathways play an important role in the immune system. Recent studies
have suggested that the TLRs are involved in atherogenesis, including stroke, myocardial infarction, ischemiareperfusion
injury, cardiac remodeling and development of Heart Failure (HF). In this review we have summarized
the recent studies investigating the role of TLRs in CVD and the potential for using TLRs signaling pathways
as a therapeutic target in CVD.
Toxicity of Recycled Concrete Aggregates: Review on Leaching Tests
Authors: Maia Margarida Braga , De Brito Jorge , Martins Isabel M. , Silvestre Jose D.
Published: June 2018

Background:

The toxicity of building materials can be addressed in the areas of occupational and environ-mental toxicology. In the first case, the harmful effects to workers caused by exposure to a specific substance during building materials production are analysed. In the latter case, the toxic effects of that substance on living organisms is examined.

Several studies analysed the environmental impact of concrete production, considering a significant number of concrete constituents and compositions, in order to find ways of minimizing it. However, some of the traditional constituents of concrete may be potentially hazardous, presenting different levels of toxicity, but only a few studies are focused on this area. Still, and in order to reduce the potential environmental impact, studies have already started on the incorporation of alternative raw materials, which may affect concrete toxicity.

It is important to develop more concrete toxicity studies analysing different mixes and constituents, in order to identify several ways of minimizing the potential toxicity of this construction material.

Objective:

Different procedures and results of the leaching tests of Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA) from previous studies will be presented and discussed in this paper.

Method:

The ecotoxicological characterization of materials is based on the analysis of the eluates resulting from leaching tests. There are several researches that apply different experimental leaching procedures according to existing standards and others with some variations in the standard test conditions: particle size, duration of the test, among others.

Results and conclusion:

The main characteristics of RCA that affect the results of the leaching tests will be identified.

Interaction and Engagement with an Anxiety Management App: Analysis Using Large-Scale Behavioral Data
Authors: Matthews Paul , Topham Phil , Caleb-Solly Praminda
Published: June 2018

Background

SAM (Self-help for Anxiety Management) is a mobile phone app that provides self-help for anxiety management. Launched in 2013, the app has achieved over one million downloads on the iOS and Android platform app stores. Key features of the app are anxiety monitoring, self-help techniques, and social support via a mobile forum (“the Social Cloud”). This paper presents unique insights into eMental health app usage patterns and explores user behaviors and usage of self-help techniques.

Objective

The objective of our study was to investigate behavioral engagement and to establish discernible usage patterns of the app linked to the features of anxiety monitoring, ratings of self-help techniques, and social participation.

Methods

We use data mining techniques on aggregate data obtained from 105,380 registered users of the app’s cloud services.

Results

Engagement generally conformed to common mobile participation patterns with an inverted pyramid or “funnel” of engagement of increasing intensity. We further identified 4 distinct groups of behavioral engagement differentiated by levels of activity in anxiety monitoring and social feature usage. Anxiety levels among all monitoring users were markedly reduced in the first few days of usage with some bounce back effect thereafter. A small group of users demonstrated long-term anxiety reduction (using a robust measure), typically monitored for 12-110 days, with 10-30 discrete updates and showed low levels of social participation.

Conclusions

The data supported our expectation of different usage patterns, given flexible user journeys, and varying commitment in an unstructured mobile phone usage setting. We nevertheless show an aggregate trend of reduction in self-reported anxiety across all minimally-engaged users, while noting that due to the anonymized dataset, we did not have information on users also enrolled in therapy or other intervention while using the app. We find several commonalities between these app-based behavioral patterns and traditional therapy engagement.
Matrix metalloproteinases polymorphisms as baseline risk predictors in malignant pleural mesothelioma
Authors: Strbac Danijela , Goricar Katja , Dolzan Vita , Kovac Viljem
Published: June 2018

Background

Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a rare disease, linked to asbestos exposure in more than 80% of the cases. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been identified as modulators of the tumour microenvironment and carcinogenesis. Polymorphisms of selected MMPs have been studied as potential biomarkers of time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) in MM. The aim of our study was to investigate selected MMP polymorphisms as baseline risk predictors in MM development in combination with other well known risk factors, such as asbestos exposure.

Patients and methods

The study included 236 patients and 161 healthy blood donors as the control group. Ten different polymorphisms in three MMP genes were genotyped using a fluorescence-based competitive allele-specific assay (KASPar): MMP2 rs243865, rs243849 and rs7201, MMP9 rs17576, rs17577, rs2250889 and rs20544, and MMP14 rs1042703, rs1042704 and rs743257. In statistical analyses continuous variables were described using median and range (25%–75%), while frequencies were used to describe categorical variables. Deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) was assessed using the standard chi-square test. The additive and dominant genetic models were used in statistical analyses. The association of genetic polymorphism with MM risk were examined by logistic regression to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results

Carriers of at least one polymorphic MMP2 rs243865 allele tended to have a decreased risk for MM (OR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.44–1.00; P = 0.050). The association was more pronounced in patients with known asbestos exposure: carriers of at least one polymorphic allele had significantly lower MM risk (OR = 0.55, 95% CI = 0.35–0.86; P = 0.009). None of the other tested polymorphisms showed association with the risk of malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Conclusions

The MMP2 rs243865 polymorphism may have a protective role in malignant pleural mesothelioma development. This finding is even more evident in patients exposed to asbestos, implying a strong gene-environment interaction.

Тувинское время и экономическая культура тувинцев
Authors: Lamazhaa Chimiza K.
Published: June 2018

В статье впервые анализируется тувинское время (тыва үе) — понимание тувинцами повседневного времени, — как важная часть их общей культуры, имеющая тесную взаимосвязь с экономической культурой. Подобное отношение ко времени у тувинцев рассматривается как степное время, которое наблюдается также у народов Монголии, и других регионов кочевой культуры центральной Азии. Люди степи демонстрируют особое время культуры, особый темп жизненного уклада, который относится исследователями к варианту восточного типа понимания времени.Отмечается, что для понимания времени традиционно использовались средства опредмечивания, соотнесения с конкретными действиями и обозначением места действий. Рассматриваются термины тувинского языка, означающие время. Фиксируются интересные выводы других исследователей (филологов, культурологов) об особенностях ориентации тувинцами во времени и пространстве, которые опираются на наблюдения за движением Солнца, звезд.Особо акцентируется проблема обусловленности тувинского времени и экономической культурой тувинцев. Понимание времени сложилось в условиях экстенсивного скотоводства, которым занималось большинство предков и современных тувинцев. Соответственно хозяйственная деятельность людей почти целиком зависела от природных, погодных циклов, ритмов, конкретных условий. Это обусловило стратегию адаптации не только к собственно среде, но и к протеканию процессов в этой среде, к самому пониманию времени. Человеку оставалось только следить за неспешным процессом выпаса скота и отчасти его регулировать. Это определило неспешность как одну из главных временных характеристик культуры.Анализируются культурные установки тувинцев, связанные с планированием и пунктуальностью. В постсоветское время тыва үе подчеркивается как право людей не соблюдать точное время. Тыва үе определяется не как время, а как комплекс обстоятельств (изменение погоды, приметы, необходимость соблюдения важных дел, получение указаний от кого-либо), которые сильнее людей и которые влияют на их намерения, на длительность событий, действий. Неспешность особенно заметна у жителей сельских районов, но присутствует и у горожан из-за значительной внутренней миграции в Туве из села в город, а также в силу устойчивости базисных оснований традиционной культуры в ситуации «вписывания» ее носителей в современность.Фактор тувинского времени следует учитывать приезжим, самим жителям Тувы, органам власти, представителям бизнеса как существенный фактор современной экономической культуры тувинцев и важное условие стратегического планирования.
Трудовая занятость и социально-профессиональные ориентации молодежи современной Тувы
Authors: Anayban Zoia V.
Published: June 2018

Статья посвящена исследованию вопросов трудовой занятости молодежи 15–29 лет Тувы, выявлению и определению их социально-профессиональной ориентаций и предпочтений. Работа основана на результатах этносоциологического опроса автора в 2015 г. среди молодежных групп Республики Тыва, а также на материалах официальной статистики и на полевых материалах автора, собранных в 2015–2017 гг.Удельный вес молодежи в общем числе занятого населения достигает 30,8%. При этом безработица в регионе является преимущественно молодежной проблемой.В трудовых мотивациях и профессиональных склонностях молодежи основных этнических групп — тувинцев и русских — существенных различий не наблюдается. Разница отмечается скорее между поколенческими группами молодежи. Стала заметно больше численность тех, кто трудится в разных отраслях местной промышленности, однако очевидно, что эта сфера предпочтительна для русских. Занятая в городе тувинская молодежь трудится преимущественно в сфере госструктур, образования и медицины, в селах молодежь, как видно, в основном занята в сельском хозяйстве.Широк и разнообразен разброс во мнениях и предпочтениях относительно характера труда, профессий у молодежи Тувы. Среди определенной части населения в целом, включая молодежь, по-прежнему сохраняется убеждение, что профессиональный выбор национально специфичен. Немалая часть тувинцев в предпочтениях больше тяготеет к творческим и гуманитарным специальностям. Среди русской молодежи особенно ценятся такие профессии, как адвокат, финансист, менеджер, инженер высшей квалификации.Но по-прежнему модными у молодежи остаются профессии юриста, экономиста, к списку модных также прибавились профессии банкира, менеджера, нотариуса, программиста. Материальные интересы молодежь все-таки ставит выше любых других ценностей. Значительна конкуренция на рынке труда, прежде всего, в городской местности. К числу отличительных особенностей большей части молодежи стоит отнести не только ее прагматизм, деловитость, но также и оптимизм, веру в благополучное разрешение всех проблем. Позитивный настрой за последние годы заметно возрос.Делается вывод: при реализации разного рода региональных социальных программ и мероприятий не следует забывать об особенностях местных молодежных групп, их профессиональных ориентациях и предпочтениях, которые во многом могут быть связаны с этнокультурными традициями их народа.
Narrar a Mariel: Espacialización y heterotopías del exilio cubano en la novelaBoarding Home() de Guillermo Rosales (1946–1993)
Authors: Simal Monica
Published: June 2018

En este trabajo analizo la novelaBoarding Home(1987) del escritor cubano Guillermo Rosales a partir de su inscripción dentro de las coordenadas que signaron el éxodo cubano por el Mariel en 1980. Exploro cómo Mariel se vuelve un espacio simbólico de significación desde donde se ofrece una mirada mucho más compleja al evento estigmatizado tanto por la revolución, como por los medios de prensa y la comunidad norteamericanos. La operación de “basurización del otro”, de la “escoria” que lleva a cabo el gobierno cubano (Castillo Durante) tiene como consecuencia inevitable a la abyección (Kristeva), y ambos fenómenos se hacen visibles, materiales, en la espacialización del margen, del exilio en la vida del protagonista como se comprueba con su vida en un home de Miami, y tras sus recorridos por la ciudad. Tanto el home como La Pequeña Habana son lugares heterotópicos (Foucault) en donde opera una distorsión de las dos utopías (o distopías) que entrañan la revolución y el exilio. Concluyo que Rosales apela a la literatura como acto de resistencia ante la invisibilidad y el estigma del éxodo.
Quality of life and active and successful ageing – an outline
Authors: Zalega Tomasz
Published: June 2018

The observed demographic changes involving mainly the progressive ageing of the Polish population are leading to the increasedmarket importance of the senior segment. Therefore, a stronger emphasis is put in on quality of life and its related concepts of successful and active ageing that have been recognised as a paradigm in modern social policy. This is justified by the fact that quality of life is consistent with the core values ensuing from human rights, such as independence, participation, dignity, security and self-realisation. The purpose of this study is to clarify the essence and the key determinants of quality of life, as well as the concepts of successful and active ageing. The structure of this article is as follows. After a brief introduction, the focus is on the interdisciplinary understanding of quality of life. Quality of life is explained in sociological, psychological, economic, social and medical terms.

SOSTENIBILIDAD DEL GASTO PÚBLICO: COBERTURA Y FINANCIAMIENTO DE ENFERMEDADES CRÓNICAS EN MÉXICO
Authors: Macias-Sanchez Alejandra , Villareal-Paez Hector Juan
Published: June 2018

Este artículo analiza la sostenibilidad del gasto público en salud, desde la perspectiva del costo de las principales enfermedades crónicas que padece la población mexicana, y que debe cubrir el gobierno federal. Asimismo, pretende abrir la discusión sobre la cobertura efectiva universal de salud en México, a través de una herramienta de microsimulación que permita presentar y evaluar diferentes escenarios en cuanto a su costo financiero, para poder hacer propuestas de financiamiento sostenible, principalmente porque se están enfrentando cambios demográficos y epidemiológicos que conllevan aumentos en los costos de atención médica. Abstract This article analyzes the sustainability of public health expenditures from the cost perspective of the principle chronic diseases that the Mexican population suffers and the Mexican Government would finance. Also, it pretends to contribute to the discussion of universal effective health coverage in Mexico by providing a micro simulation tool which would evaluate different scenarios about financial costs of universal coverage. As a result, fiscally sustainable proposals can be made based on this micro simulation tool that consider the demographic and epidemiological changes that translate into costs increases.

Introductions: Vasculitides can cause significant morbidity and mortality if not treated on time. There is lack of data locally. This study aims to define the pattern, clinical characteristics, and outcome of vasculitides.Methods: This was a cross sectional study between January 2011 and December 2015 at Patan Hospital, Patan Academy of Health Sciences, Lalitpur, Nepal. The medical records of patients diagnosed with vasculitides in adults rheumatology service of the hospital were reviewed.Results: Ninety six patients were diagnosed with vasculitides during the study period. The mean age was 42.2 years. Sixty nine (71.8%) patient had small vessel, 20 (20.8%) large vessel and five (5.2%) had variable vessel vasculitides. Seventy five patients (78.1%) had primary and 21 (21.8%) secondary vasculitides. Cutaneous leucocytoclasticangitis was seen in 27 (28.1%), Takayasu arteritis in 17 (17.7), Henoch-Schonlein purpura in 11 (11.4%) and Rheumatoid arthritis associated vasculitis in nine patients. Purpura was present in all 96 (100%). The overall mortality was 9 (9.3%).Conclusions: Primary vasculitides were more common than secondary forms. Small vessel vasculitis was the most common.

Bayesian Analysis of Two Parameter Complementary Exponential Power Distribution
Authors: Chaudhary A. K.
Published: June 2018

In this paper, the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is used to estimate the parameters of CEP distribution based on a complete sample. A procedure is developed to obtain Bayes estimates of the parameters of the CEP distribution using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation method in OpenBUGS, established software for Bayesian analysis using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. The MCMC methods have been shown to be easier to implement computationally, the estimates always exist and are statistically consistent, and their probability intervals are convenient to construct. The R functions are developed to study the statistical properties, model validation and comparison tools of the distribution and the output analysis of MCMC samples generated from OpenBUGS. A real data set is considered for illustration under uniform and gamma sets of priors. NCC Journal Vol. 3, No. 1, 2018,   Page: 1-23

The cryptocurrency is thought to be the next internet revolution, where transactions are done utilizing peer-to-peer network creating a blockchain of the participants involved. Therefore, it is in totality creating a new virtual world, which might change the course of the foreseeable future finance. The reaction to the block chain and cryptocurrency is synonymous to the reaction to the internet when for the first time it emerged. While it is widely accepted for transactions in some countries; for instance in Nepal, it is illegal. Where the basic knowledge about the cryptocurrency is scarce in terms of Nepal, this article attempt to connote the grass root construct on cryptography, cryptocurrency and its practices across the globe to its readers.NCC JournalVol. 3, No. 1, 2018, page: 167-175
Reflections on social work in practice
Authors: Adhikari Shovita
Published: June 2018

This essay reflects on my community work in a rural village located approximately 70 km from Kathmandu in Nepal. As a social worker, my task was to help integrate people from the Dalit (lower) caste in their local community. The assignment proved to be a challenge, not only because I lacked practical knowledge but also because I belonged to a different caste group, the so-called Brahmin, i.e. the upper caste. In this essay, I discuss how the fact that I am from an upper caste affected my work. The essay attempts to bring forth the problems that I encountered, particularly the critical incidents, and my critical reflections on being a social worker.
