An Everyday Aesthetics, Inexpensive Paintings, and the Study of Art
Authors: Lindauer Martin S.
Published: February 2022

An everyday aesthetics, in contrast to conventional views rooted in the fine arts, is initiated by mundane objects, such as matching a tie to a suit, and ordinary settings, like the arrangement of walkways and stores in a mall. Largely neglected by an everyday aesthetics, though, are inexpensive paintings popular with the general public, such as mass-produced works produced overseas by teams of anonymous artists. “Assembly line” paintings, despite numerous critical objections, expand the boundaries of aesthetics and their focus on masterpieces. That claim rests on studies of mass-produced paintings, summarized here, that illustrate the differences as well as the parallels between a conventional and an everyday aesthetics. The latter, as illustrated by mass-produced paintings, takes into account the relationship of colors within a canvas to those in the room in which a work hangs (rugs, furniture, walls). A conventional aesthetics, at least in Western traditions of art, emphasizes solely the colors within a painting’s frame. Aesthetics is therefore not some rare and esoteric phenomenon whose primary source lies within a narrow number of paintings in relatively inaccessible places and endorsed (if not enforced) by experts.

Modernism in Migration – Editorial
Authors: Langfeld Gregor , Bauduin Tessel M.
Published: February 2022

Today, a majority of many populations worldwide view migration negatively.[1] In times of increasing xenophobia, with Europe’s walls-up policy and a steadily growing amount of border walls (three times as many as during the Cold War), migration is regarded as a disturbing element in society.[2] Politics mainly focuses on stemming migration flows, often with cruel consequences. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, migration denotes the movement of a person, group, or people from one locality or country to another, often for the purpose of settlement.[3] Such a relocation can be permanent, temporary, or seasonal. More specific terms are used in migration research, such as exile, diaspora, and transmigration.[4] Exile and diaspora refer to the experience of persecution and forced emigration from a home country. Exile, unlike diaspora (e.g., Jewish or African), tends to be considered an individual and temporary experience. However, the distinction between these terms can be provisional; exile can become diaspora over time, if the desired return to the homeland fails to materialize. The term transmigration is applied to migrants who maintain relationships between their country of origin and country of residence. Unlike immigrants, transnational or transregional migrants do not leave their homeland behind; their sense of belonging is not limited to one place.[5] Certainly these distinctions tend to be imprecise, and must be determined with regard to particular cases.
Exile and Modernism: Theoretical and Methodological Reflections on the Exile of Artists in the 1930s and ’40s
Authors: Eckmann Sabine
Published: February 2022

The exile of artists in the 1930s and ’40s was first discovered, alongside the Third Reich and the Holocaust, as a subject of research in the humanities, including art history, in the late 1960s. Apart from debates over the significance of political or nonpolitical works of art produced in exile and their role in establishing a positive German national identity during the Third Reich, many of the interpretive approaches since then have been determined largely by biographical accounts. It should be noted, however, that some artists were inscribed into art history (or the so-called canon) because of their personal fates as Jews or the politically persecuted. Consequently, the work of art is often treated as a direct document of the individual’s biography.
From São Paulo to Paris and Back Again: Tarsila do Amaral
Authors: Maroja Camila
Published: February 2022

At the closure of Tarsila do Amaral’s retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Art of São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (MASP) at the end of July 2019, a total of 402,850 visitors had viewed the exhibition (fig. 1). Tarsila Popular thus fittingly became the most visited show in the museum’s history, displacing a 1997 Monet blockbuster.[1] The show had followed shortly upon the well-received Tarsila do Amaral: Inventing Modern Art in Brazil, the first monographic exhibition of the painter in the United States, which was co-organized by the Chicago Art Institute (October 8, 2017–January 7, 2018) and the Museum of Modern Art in New York (February 11–June 3, 2018). This recent spotlight on the Brazilian artist joins a series of institutional efforts to make modernism more global by emphasizing previously overlooked geographies and artists’ mobility between different parts of the globe.
“Primitivism” in Migration: Ambivalence and Locality in South African Modernism
Authors: Hörstmann Lisa
Published: February 2022

Modernism in South Africa was not only characterized by the migration of settler artists between the global “periphery” of South Africa and Europe’s urban centers, such as Berlin, London, or Paris, which their parents had left and where they themselves frequently returned to further their careers, but also by the migration of objects and concepts.[1] The late nineteenth and early twentieth century saw a rapidly increasing circulation of African artifacts into the West in various ways—ethically and unethically, some as desecrated religious objects and some specifically produced for trade—and their subsequent appropriation by the European avant-gardes. At the same time, and largely neglected in Western art historical narratives, the aesthetic appreciation of such objects returned to their countries of origin. This was mediated by, often Jewish, immigrants with substantial collections of African artifacts, on the one hand, and Western theory such as Carl Einstein’s Negerplastik (1915) on the other. Departing from this European appreciation of African art, Irma Stern (1894–1966), the so-called pioneer of South African modernism, and the sculptor Lippy Lipshitz (1903–1980) laid the foundations for a specifically South African “settler primitivism.”[2] Stern and Lipshitz can be considered settlers, as they migrated to South Africa early in their lives but kept close ties to their European origins, artistically as well as personally. Departing from Nicholas Thomas’s definition of “settler primitivism,” this article discusses the importance of ambivalence and locality in Stern’s and Lipshitz’s “primitivist” representations of their black compatriots, in which they sought to establish a South African culture distinctive from the English traditions that were formative at the time, furthering their own indigenization in the process. My analysis is based on their artworks, different writings produced by the artists collected from various archives, as well as secondary texts on their works and careers. Before delving into the specific South African context, I will first attempt a brief localization of the terms “primitive” and “primitivism” in relation to the visual arts, as both terms are hugely problematic.

The present study deals with the use of the little-known macro invertebrate Diptera in assessing the state of biotic integrity of Daloa's urban water bodies. Thus, aquatic macro invertebrates were sampled at a seasonal rate on 24 identified stations. The inventory showed 13128 macro invertebrate individuals of 208 taxa divided into 7 classes, 21 orders and 84 families. The Diptera are represented by 1987 individuals of 53 taxa from 16 families. Analysis of the Shannon index values shows that Rice Pond 1 and Gbedji Lake are the least diversified and balanced stations. The relative percentage of Diptera was recorded with values below 75% thus reflecting two categories of stations: stations with moderate pollution and undisturbed stations.

The paper is a reflection over the book: Wolfgang Sassin, Oleg Donskikh, Alexandre Gnes, Sergey Komissarov, Liu Depei. Evolutionary Environments. Homo Sapiens - an Endangered Species? Innsbruck: Studia Universitätsverlag, 2018. 362 p. ISBN 978-3-903030-60-2. In the article, the author propounds her main observations on discussing European political ideologies offered in the book. Today’s European politics is demonstrated to be either demise or temporary slowdown of the mutual European dream that led to the bright anticipations of EU in 1990s. Current failing of this dream causes great instabilities in continental Europe and United Kingdom. It may be one of the reasons of Brexit as well. Finally, some points of critique of the book, are discussed.

Impacts of Climate Change and Hydropower Development on the Community Livelihoods in Sondu Miriu River Basin, Kenya
Authors: Ochieng Willis Owino , Oludhe Christopher , Dulo Simeon , Olaka Lydia
Published: February 2022

Hydropower is sustainable and environmentally friendly source of energy worldwide. Driven by streamflow, it is vulnerable to climate change and land use change. The hydropower production from the two-existing run-of-river hydropower projects on the Sondu Miriu river are vulnerable to rainfall variability and requires proper understanding of the climate change trends and policies to support sustainable hydropower development and put in place strategies for building resilience for the local communities. The main objective of this paper was to examine the impacts of both the climate change and the hydropower development projects on the livelihoods of the community living within the Sondu Miriu River basin. Participatory methodologies involving administration of questionnaires at household level and focus group discussions with the local leaders and actors were applied to determine the impacts of climate change and the hydropower development on the community livelihoods within the basin. The socioeconomic status of the basin indicates that majority of the households (>59%) are poor and earn below 8 US dollars per day. The employment rate is extremely low with only 22% in formal employment. About 49% of the households still use wood fuel and charcoal as energy sources which is a threat to catchment conservation. Strengthening community resilience to climate change impacts is one of the benefits to be derived from the hydropower projects by supporting appropriate adaptation strategies within the existing policy framework.
Comparison of direct costs associated with the use of balanced general anesthesia and total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) techniques
Authors: Guevara-Farias Jairo C. , Rincón-Valenzuela David A. , Gómez-Ardila Ciro
Published: February 2022

Introduction: Healthcare costs are increasing against the backdrop of scarce resources. Surgical procedures are an important part of healthcare spending, and the cost of anesthetic techniques is relevant as part of the total cost of care and it is a potential target for expenditure optimization. Although important economic differences have been reported internationally for general anesthesia options, there are no publications in Colombia that compare current costs and allow for informed and financially responsible decision-making.
Objective: To quantify and compare direct costs associated with the various general anesthesia options most frequently used at the present time.
Methods: Cost minimization analysis based on a theoretical model of balanced general anesthesia using isoflurane, sevoflurane, desflurane in combination with remifentanil, and TIVA (propofol and remifentanil). Initial results were obtained using a deterministic simulation method and a sensitivity analysis was performed using a Monte Carlo simulation.
Results: The average total cost per case for the different anesthetic techniques was COP 126381 for sevoflurane, COP 97706 for isoflurane, COP 288605 for desflurane and COP 222 960 for TIVA.
Conclusions: Balanced general anesthesia with desflurane is the most costly alternative, 1.2 times more expensive than TIVA, and 2 and 3 times more costly than balanced anesthesia with sevoflurane and isoflurane, respectively. TIVA ranks second with a cost 1.8 times higher than balanced anesthesia with sevoflurane and 2.5 times higher than balanced anesthesia with isoflurane.

Authors: Yakova-Hristova Dilyana , Simova Iana , Pavlov Pavlin , Hristov Martin , Kundurzhiev Todor , Dimitrov Nikolai , Vekov Toni
Published: February 2022

Background: Infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 can lead to significant procoagulant events, sometimes involving life-threatening pulmonary thromboembolism (PE). Additional conditions complicating the diagnosis are the presence of risk factors for PE in almost all patients with COVID-19 and the overlap of clinical presentation between PE and COVID-19. Objectives: We conducted a single-center study at the Heart and Brain Hospital, Pleven, from December 2020 to February 2021. It included 27 consecutively hospitalized patients with recent pneumonia caused by COVID-19 and clinical presentations corresponding to PE. Methods: The cohort was divided into two groups with and without a definitive diagnosis of PE, proven by CT pulmoangiography. The aim was to find the indicators predicting the presence of PE in patients with acute or post-acute COVID-19 conditions. Results: Our results showed that some ECG criteria, including S-wave over 1.5 mm in leads I and aVL (P = 0.007), Q-wave in leads III and aVF (P = 0.020), and D-dimer as a quantitative variable (P = 0.025), were independent predictors of PE. The RV/LV diameter ratios ≥ 1.0 and right ventricular dysfunction showed a sensitivity (Se) of 62.5%, specificity (Sp) of 100%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 100%, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 86.4% to verify the PE diagnosis. Besides, the D-dimer cutoff value of 1,032 ng/mL had an optimal Se of 87.5%, Sp of 57.9%, PPV of 46.7%, and NPV of 91.7% for PE diagnosis (P = 0.021). Conclusions: Against the background of acute and post-acute COVID-19 conditions, ECG and EchoCG criteria remain the PE predictors. We suggest that a higher D-dimer cutoff value be applied in COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 patients to confirm/dismiss PE diagnosis.

Published: February 2022

Background: Today, stem cells are the best candidates for cell therapy and tissue engineering. Adipose-derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) are an essential source of cells in replacement therapies of many diseases. Objectives: This study compared the proliferation of ADSCs in alginate and fibrin scaffolds. Methods: Adipose-derived stem cells were isolated from adipose tissue and cultured in alginate or fibrin scaffolds with a medium containing PRP 10% or FBS 10%. Then, the cell viability percentage was assessed by MTT assay and trypan blue staining. Also, the percentages of living, apoptotic, and necrotic cells were assessed by flow cytometry assay on the fourth and eighth days. Results: The cell viability rate was significantly higher in the fibrin scaffold group with PRP than in other groups on the fourth and eighth days (P < 0.05). Moreover, the rate of necrotic cells was significantly lower in the fibrin scaffold group than in the other groups (P < 0.05). Besides, the percentage of living cells was significantly higher in the fibrin scaffold group with PRP than in the other groups on the fourth and eighth days (P < 0.05). Also, the percentage of early apoptotic cells was significantly lower in fibrin with PRP than in other groups on the fourth day. There was no significant difference in the rate of late apoptotic cells between the groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions: These findings indicate the positive effect of PRP on the survival and proliferation of ADSCs compared with FBS. Therefore, PRP can be considered a suitable supplement to replace animal sera like FBS.

Background: Eating disorders (EDs) are prevalent in adolescents and young adults, leading to various psychiatric and physical complications that affect the quality of life and even mortality. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of self-efficacy and self-esteem in the relationship of perfectionism and negative reactivity with EDs. Methods: This descriptive study was performed on 302 students selected from the University of Tehran during 2018 - 2019. The data collection tools were the ED Examination-Questionnaire Short form, Self-esteem Scale, Weight Efficacy Lifestyle Questionnaire‑Short Form, ED Inventory-Perfectionism Scale, and Perth Emotional Reactivity Scale. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that EDs had significant positive correlations with perfectionism (r = 0.4, P = 0.01) and general negative reactivity (r = 0.53, P = 0.01). On the other hand, these disorders had a significant negative correlation with self-esteem (r = -0.48, P = 0.01) and self-efficacy (r = 0.53, P=0.01). Self-esteem had a negative significant relationship with perfectionism (r = -0.12, P = 0.05) and negative reactivity (r = -0.68, P = 0.01). Moreover, self-efficacy had a negative significant relationship with perfectionism (r = -0.28, P = 0.01) and negative reactivity (r = -0.5, P = 0.01). The findings of path analysis showed that self-esteem and self-efficacy played mediating roles in the relationship of negative reactivity and perfectionism with EDs. Negative reactivity directly affected eating pathology (t = 1.27, ß = 0.13) but is not significant. Conclusions: Our findings showed that self-esteem and self-efficacy are protective factors against the negative effects of perfectionism and negative reactivity. Therefore, self-esteem and self-efficacy can be considered as parts of prevention and treatment programs for EDs.

Published: February 2022

Context: The demand for remote psychologist services increased during the COVID-19 outbreak due to the emergence of multiple mental health problems. Many countries have applied telemental health approaches to managing and treating mental disorders. This review study aimed to investigate the role of information technology, especially telemental health, in managing psychological problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence Acquisition: This study was conducted in four phases: Identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion. Keywords were selected from MeSH to search the principal medical databases. Finally, important information was extracted from nine selected papers, including the author names, study setting, purpose, technology, method, intervention, and results. Results: Some studies provided telepsychiatry to people whose mental problems developed during COVID-19. Another study explained the telepsychological service for patients with mental illness before the epidemic. Most articles signified the influential role of telehealth in screening and reducing social contacts. Besides, this technology played a significant role in providing mental health services. Conclusions: The study showed that telemental health and telepsychiatry approaches effectively promote the mental health and well-being of participants with various mental problems. In implementing these approaches, some items such as allocating sufficient funds, preparing appropriate infrastructure, providing training for users, defining suitable evaluation methods, and considering confidentiality and privacy need to be considered.

This month, Maurice Burke kicks off the “Technology Tips” column with a TI-92–enhanced investigation of repeating decimals. In this article, Burke shows how to circumvent the default number of digits stored and displayed by the calculator. Next, Stephanie Kolitsch reveals an error in the sum(seq) command on many of the Texas Instruments calculators. She traces the mistake to an error in the thirteenth or fourteenth decimal place and then shows how to avoid this problem. Bob Ruzich returns with his third piece in the series “The Arithmetic of Calculus.” This time, Ruzich shares a CBL 2/CBL activity that involves voltage and that leads students to a deeper understanding of the average value of a function.

Theoretical Deliberations on "Regulation as Productive Tool Use"
Authors: Axel Erik
Published: February 2022

This paper is discusses some central points in a dissertation for the degree of dr. phil., "Regulation as Productive Tool Use - a Participatory Observation in the Control Room of a District Heating System." An earlier version of the paper was presented by the author as part of the defense of the dissertation at Roskilde University Center June 14 2002. As suggested by the title, the dissertation was an empirical study of regulation in a control room. The object of the authors participatory observation was how the operators in the control room followed rules when they regulated a highly automated plant. When I was shown the plant I was told that the technology ran smoothly and without error. Its control structures are based on formal logic and mechanical principles, all the same human beings are required in the control room to take care of anomalies. Among other things, the observations provide an opportunity to discuss the limitations of psychologies that study human beings on the basis of formal principles. The present paper focuses on two characteristic aspects of this discussion in the dissertation. First, it takes its point of departure in some practical problems of the control structures of the control room. It will demonstrate that the practical problems are problems of principle, and that formal principles are not adequate to study the object of human sciences, namely, human beings. Second, it sketches out what is required of a conception of human beings. As human beings are trusted to handle anomalies, we must explain how they are able to act on an incomplete understanding of the situation. And since they are able to identify what is wrong, we must explain how they develop new knowledge. The paper presented at the defense summarized the main arguments of the dissertation and alluded to an expansion of the main point using a particular instance. Here the weight is shifted to the latter expansion.
Machado de Assis – antes do livro, o jornal: suporte, mídia e ficção
Authors: Granja Lúcia
Published: February 2022

Este livro propõe um novo modo de compreender a história literária no século XIX e a escrita literária de Machado de Assis. Lúcia Granja analisa a Poética da escrita jornalística em Machado de Assis, passando pelas crônicas do Diário do Rio de Janeiro e O Cruzeiro, alguns contos e o romance Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas. No hipertexto do periódico cotidiano, a circulação e a hiperligação constantes das formas textuais criaram parâmetros de referencialidade e literaridade deslizantes, que mimetizou e com os quais dialogou a obra de nosso maior escritor. A partir das crônicas, a autora demonstra os procedimentos e os recursos textuais na gênese do narrador machadiano revelado nos romances da fase madura do Bruxo do Cosme Velho.

Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is the most common genetic form of gingival fibromatosis which is featured as a localized or generalized overgrowth of gingivae. Currently two genes (SOS1 and REST), as well as four loci (2p22.1, 2p23.3–p22.3, 5q13–q22, and 11p15), have been identified as associated with HGF in a dominant inheritance pattern. Here, we report 13 individuals with autosomal-dominant HGF from a four-generation Chinese family. Whole-exome sequencing followed by further genetic co-segregation analysis was performed for the family members across three generations. A novel heterozygous missense mutation (c.2812G > A) in zinc finger protein 862 gene (ZNF862) was identified, and it is absent among the population as per the Genome Aggregation Database. The functional study supports a biological role of ZNF862 for increasing the profibrotic factors particularly COL1A1 synthesis and hence resulting in HGF. Here, for the first time we identify the physiological role of ZNF862 for the association with the HGF.

Neuroretinitis is an inflammatory condition characterized by optic disk edema and formation of a resultant macular star. It can be autoimmune or caused by an infectious or post viral etiology. Looking at today's scenario, COVID-19 is an important health issue and has been declared as pandemic by the World Health Organization. Corona virus is capable of producing a wide spectrum of ocular manifestations ranging from anterior segment pathologies like conjunctivitis and anterior uveitis to sight-threatening conditions like retinitis and optic neuritis. In this case series, we present two cases which presented with loss of vision and were diagnosed as neuroretinitis which later turned out to be COVID positive. Hence, a thorough ocular and systemic examination, correct diagnosis along with strong suspicion for systemic involvement is the key to optimal outcome in current era of pandemic.

The motive of this article is to review accessible periodontal dressings, their Physiochemical characteristics, biocompatibility, & therapeutic uses.                                                                                  

Various features of periodontal dressings have been examined various studies have been conducted in vitro and in vivo. The dimensional alterations and adhesion qualities of dressings are intimately associated to their physical & chemical properties. Other characteristics addressed in the literature include biocompatibility and therapeutic efficacy.

Surgical wound dressings have been used for millennia to protect surgical areas, prevent postoperative infection, and speed recovery. When used after periodontal surgical treatments, Packs for periodontal treatment are also referred to as periodontal dressings, the same benefits of paste. They are divided into two groups: Dressings based on eugenol and non-eugenol dressings.

The surgeon's goal, Dressings are required to remain on the surgery site for a certain amount of time and its modifications in dimensions are all aspects to consider when choosing an appropriate dressing.
