Synthesis and Characterization of Benzoic Acid Complexes with Biologically Active Metal Ions
Authors: Selvakumar M. S. , Bheeter S. R.
Published: June 2019

Animal and plants contain carboxylic acids, which are involved in their metabolic reactions. It is also well known that metal ions are involved in their metabolic reactions. So far the complexation of carboxylate ions with metal ions has been extensively studied. Since neutral or acidic medium is existing in most of the biological reactions in animals and plants it is interested to study the complexation of organic carboxylic acids in neutral medium with biologically active metal ions such as manganese, cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc. Complexes of benzoic acid were prepared in neutral medium and were characterised. In such complexes the carboxylic acid group is not ionised and carbonyl oxygen of the carboxylic acids are coordinated to the metal ions. However the microbial study is not the scope of this work.

Effect of Organic Amendments on Zinc Availability to Maize Bengal Gram Cropping Sequence in a Vertisol
Authors: Vijayakumar C. , Dasar G. V. , Basavaraj B.
Published: June 2019

Comparative efficacy of farmyard manure(FYM), vermicompost (VC), biogas slurry(BS) and poultry manure (PM) with and without P-enrichment on zinc availability to maize and bengal gram was evaluated in a vertisol under irrigated condition. On the basis of the uptake of zinc by maize and bengal gram, the performance of different organic amendments in maize followed the trend; PM>BS=FYM=VC and in bengal gram; PM>BS>FYM=VC. Substantial buildup of available zinc in soil was observed due to the application of above amendments.

New Theorem on Perpendicular Bisectors of Focal Radii of an Ellipse
Authors: Maran A. K.
Published: June 2019

Ellipse is one of the conic sections,it is sort of elongated circle. It is the locus of a point that moves in such a way that the ratio of its distance from a fixed point to its distance from a fixed point to its distance from a fixed line equals to constant 'e'. According to Keplar's law of planetary motion,the ellipse is very important in the field of Astronomy. The author has developed a new theorem for a new property of ellipse.

Published: June 2019

The tidal force is c secondary effect of the force Of gravity. It arises because the gravitational field is not constant across o body's diameter. When a body is acted on by the gravity Of another body, the gravitational acceleration con vary significantly between the necr side and the far side. This tends to distort shape of the body without altering its volume, Suppose that the gravitational field is due to one other body. Linearising Newton's law Of gravitation around the centre of the reference body yields an approximate inverse cube Along the axis through the centres Of the two bodies, this takes the form
Darcy-Bénard Convection using a Non-Fourier Thermal Model
Authors: Siddeshwar P. G.
Published: June 2019

In the paper the effect of replacing the classical Fourier thermal model by the non-classical non-Fourier thermal model on Darcy-Benard convection in a fluid-saturated densely-packed porous medium is studied and, in particular, how the Nusselt numbers of the solid and fluid phases are affected by the adoption of such a model is considered. A weighted average Nusselt number is also defined and analyzed to study the overall heat transfer in the case of steady finite-amplitude convection which is amenable to analytical treatment. Sub-critical instability is ruled out in mono-diffusive convection but the inclusion of a second diffusing component or rotation is shown to facilitate its manifestation.
Moral Luck and the Question of Responsibility
Authors: Goswami Gargi
Published: June 2019

The problem of moral luck is a genuine moral problem faced by all of us where the conflict arises on how and upon whom one should place the burden of moral responsibility when the situation is beyond one‟s control. On one hand, people commonly think that a person cannot be justly praised or blamed for his actions unless he controls them. On the other hand, ordinary moral judgments of persons routinely vary based on the actual consequences caused by the person, even when partly or wholly beyond his control. The problem lies in the apparent conflict between the idea that a morally responsible agent must control his actions and the standard practice of blaming people more simply for causing worse results even when the factors are beyond his control. My paper will focus on the various types of moral luck as explained by Thomas Nagel and analyze that the seemingly hopeless situations in the various cases of moral luck can be satisfactorily resolved by a proper theory of moral responsibility.

The Value of Constitutional Values: With the Examples of the Bavarian and the Indian Constitution
Authors: Bauer Christian A , Bolsinger Harald J
Published: June 2019

The Bavarian and the Indian constitutions were developed in almost the same period of time. Because of historic experiences the prospect of legal certainty was the determining factor for the representatives of the people in India and Bavaria. They elaborated functioning constitutions and integrated their fundamental ideological principles quite naturally. The Indian and the Bavarian constitution are characterized by their aspirations to balance social injustice, particularly by striking a balance between individual liberty and social need.The history of political economy demonstrates a broad variety of interpretations regarding the meaning and function of value concepts. When we review all these value concepts we identify two poles of the value-concept that still lack compatibility with each other in economical and philosophical schools to this day. Value systems have to be applied situation-sensitive and are in need of a frequent critical reflection; they need to be refused or changed if necessary.Examining some examples of the Bavarian Constitution, we indicate some concordances with regard to contents of the Indian Constitutional Law. The equivalences in the Bavarian and the Indian Constitution incorporate entitlements which should protect citizens against an unjustified economical assault upon their existence.

The social value conflicts that occur more and more because of the hiatus to the constitutionally warranted values, and that cannot be solved simply by law or political adjustment, are therefore up for discussion. We then examine the disparity between entitlements and reality and discuss the hierarchy of our values.

Afrontamiento del cáncer: adaptación al español y validación del Mini-MAC en población colombiana
Authors: Román Calderón Juan Pablo , Krikorian Alicia , Palacio González Carolina
Published: June 2019

Objetivo: Adaptar el Mini-MAC al español y examinar sus propiedades psicométricas en pacientes oncológicos colombianos. Método: 126 pacientes oncológicos completaron la versión adaptada del Mini-MAC, la Escala de Ansiedad y Depresión Hospitalaria (HADS) y el cuestionario de Detección del Malestar Emocional (DME). Se obtuvieron estadísticos descriptivos, correlacionales y coeficientes de consistencia interna. Se realizó un análisis de componentes principales (ACP) y un análisis de secuencias mediante un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Resultados: Se obtuvo una solución factorial de cuatro factores: indefensión/desesperanza (ID), preocupación ansiosa (PA), evitación/negación (EN) y espíritu de lucha (EL). Los valores del ACP indicaron un adecuado ajuste del modelo, que explica el 58.9% de la varianza. Se encontraron correlaciones significativas entre ID y PA, y entre ID y EL. EN correlacionó significativa y positivamente con PA y EL. Las correlaciones entre las subescalas del Mini-MAC y HADS y DME fueron significativas. La fiabilidad de las subescalas fue superior a .6. ID y PA tienen un efecto positivo en la ansiedad, y negativo en el estado de ánimo, lo cual explica un 49% de la varianza. EN ejerció un efecto negativo en el estado de ánimo. En conjunto, ID, PA y EN explicaron un 39% de la varianza del estado de ánimo. Conclusión: La versión colombiana del Mini-MAC demostró su validez y fiabilidad, por lo que constituye una herramienta adecuada para la evaluación del afrontamiento en cáncer.
¿Qué es calidad de vida para un paciente con cáncer?
Authors: Sánchez Pedraza Ricardo , Sierra Matamoros Fabio Alexander , Martín Cardinal Elena
Published: June 2019

Objetivo: Evaluar el concepto de calidad de vida desde la perspectiva del paciente con cáncer. Método: Se evaluaron 1029 pacientes con cáncer de cuello uterino, mama, próstata, estómago, colon-recto, y un grupo de pacientes menores de edad con diferentes tipos de cáncer, efectuando una pregunta abierta (¿Cómo definiría usted la calidad de vida?). El texto de las respuestas fue procesado para realizar análisis lexicográfico y análisis de correspondencias. Resultados: Las formas gráficas y los segmentos repetidos más frecuentes se relacionaron con conceptos de bienestar, salud, funcionalidad, buena alimentación, aspectos familiares y espirituales. Estos conceptos varían según el tipo de cáncer. El análisis de correspondencias sugiere tres dimensiones: cuidado, bienestar y aspectos sociofamiliares y alimentarios. Hubo asociación entre estas dimensiones y el tipo de cáncer (dimensión 1: pacientes pediátricos; dimensión 2: cáncer de mama, y dimensión 3: pacientes con cáncer de próstata). En el espacio multidimensional el cáncer pediátrico se diferencia de las otras localizaciones de la enfermedad. Conclusiones: El diseño de instrumentos para medir calidad de vida en pacientes con cáncer debe incorporar particularidades relacionadas con el diagnóstico específico de la enfermedad.
Asociación entre variables sociodemográficas, clínicas y calidad de vida con el apoyo social percibido en pacientes colombianos con cáncer
Authors: Fontibón Vanegas Luis Fernando
Published: June 2019

Introducción: Estudios previos han encontrado un nexo entre calidad de vida relacionada con la salud y el apoyo social percibido (ASP). Métodos: Estudio transversal- analítico para identificar la asociación entre variables sociodemográficas, clínicas y la calidad de vida con el ASP en pacientes con diferentes tipos de cáncer. Se evaluaron 119 pacientes mediante el cuestionario Medical Outcomes Study-Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS) y la Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) mediante entrevista directa o telefónicamente. Para el análisis se manejaron herramientas para evaluar patrones de correlación y se utilizaron métodos de regresión lineal. Resultados: No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre el MOS y las variables sexo, estrato socioeconómico y estado civil. En relación con el modelo de regresión se encontraron coeficientes significativos en las variables bienestar funcional y sociofamiliar (dimensiones de la FACT-G) y cáncer de mama. La presencia de comorbilidad se relaciona con mayor puntaje de la escala MOS, lo mismo que lo hacen las dimensiones de la escala FACT-G. Conclusión: El ASP es una variable que interactúa de manera positiva con el constructo de calidad de vida en pacientes oncológicos.

Interseccionalidad, identidad y articulación: hacia una política de la agregación
Authors: Gandarias Goikoetxea Itziar , Montenegro Martínez Marisela , Pujol Tarrés Joan
Published: June 2019

El avance del neo-conservadurismo liberal amenaza las conquistas de los derechos sociales y civiles en un contexto de crisis económica. La incorporación de las políticas de identidad en los discursos conservadores, en tiempos de progresiva individualización y fragmentación social, dificulta la articulación de una respuesta emancipadora a las necesidades sociales de redistribución y reconocimiento. Esta contribución analiza el potencial de movilización y politización de la interseccionalidad como base articulatoria que reconoce las diferencias de posición. Partiendo del descentramiento de la identidad, el artículo explora tres figuras: ensamblajes, mundo zurdo, y política de lo múltiple. Estas figuraciones proporcionan metáforas articulatorias a la vez que reconocen simultáneamente diferencias, complejidad, singularidad y multiplicidad.
Violaciones en serie: dominaciones y resistencias tras las agresiones sexuales de ficción en la era del #MeToo
Authors: Aguado-Peláez Delicia
Published: June 2019

Esta investigación estudia la representación de la violencia sexual sobre las mujeres a través de cinco series de televisión estadounidenses que narran, al menos, una agresión sexual en el centro de la trama –Por trece Razones, Big Little Lies, Jessica Jones, El Cuento de la Criada, Westworld–. Para ello, se utiliza el análisis de contenido cualitativo desde una perspectiva interseccional y, en concreto, haciendo uso de las herramientas ofrecidas por Patricia Hill Collins. Muy brevemente, estas producciones colocan el sexismo en el centro de la matriz narrativa. Y, con ello, rehúyen una visión estereotipada de la agresión sexual y apuestan por colocar a un violador altamente normativo –blanco, clase alta, independiente…– vinculado con la víctima a través de una relación personal. Por otro lado, este perfil normativo también se presenta entre las protagonistas, invisibilizando otras relaciones de poder, sustentadas en el capacitismo o el racismo.
«Detrás de lo que quieren que seamos, está lo que somos». Revolución sexual y políticas sexuales feministas durante las décadas de los setenta y de los ochenta. Una aproximación al caso del País Vasco
Authors: Beorlegui Zarranz David
Published: June 2019

El objetivo de este artículo es abordar el debate feminista que tuvo lugar en el País Vasco en torno a las políticas sexuales durante las décadas de los setenta y ochenta, al entender que la mirada local se inserta en contextos más amplios y contribuye a una mejor comprensión de los fenómenos históricos. La investigación se basa fundamentalmente en fuentes orales construidas mediante la realización de entrevistas individuales y colectivas a antiguas militantes feministas. Esos testimonios se ponen en relación con fuentes hemerográficas del período y documentación interna producida por distintos colectivos para estudiar el rol específico que se atribuyó a la sexualidad como una parte esencial del activismo feminista. Además de identificar los principales aspectos en los que se basó la política sexual del movimiento, el recorrido histórico propuesto permite apreciar tensiones, debates, cambios y negociaciones en torno a la sexualidad y su significado en el período histórico comprendidos entre 1975 y 1986.

Feminismo y derechos para las mujeres homosexuales
Authors: Goicoechea Gaona María Ángeles , Clavo Sebastián María José , Álvarez Terán Remedios
Published: June 2019

Este trabajo forma parte de una investigación que venimos desarrollando desde 2014 sobre las mujeres homosexuales en España, a partir de 41 entrevistas en profundidad. En este caso, se centra en las dificultades de inclusión asociadas a la homosexualidad y el grado de compromiso social y político que de ellas se derivan. Desde el marco teórico del feminismo, se combina la reflexión documental y bibliográfica sobre la diversidad afectiva, sexual y de género con los testimonios de las entrevistadas. La manera de manifestarse como mujer homosexual es muy plural, como es diversa la autodenominación. No todas se sienten deudoras del feminismo, y entre las que sí son militantes también hay muchos matices. Las reivindicaciones personales se vuelven políticas gracias a los movimientos organizados, aunque muchas de sus necesidades permanecen con frecuencia ajenas a las agendas políticas.
Los temporales de nieve de 1888 en Asturias: respuesta social e institucional
Authors: García-Hernández Cristina
Published: June 2019

Los temporales de nieve de 1888 generaron un daño sin precedentes en la historia reciente de Asturias. Esta investigación, basada en el análisis de fuentes históricas, indaga en la reacción de los grupos humanos que se vieron afectados, examinando tanto la respuesta ofrecida por las instituciones como las estrategias de adaptación y manejo del riesgo por parte de quienes habitaban en las áreas más damnificadas. Los resultados evidencian la mala gestión de la crisis por parte de las autoridades, que centraron sus esfuerzos en aliviar la situación de incomunicación con el exterior de la región y ofrecieron ayudas económicas insuficientes. En las áreas de montaña, sin embargo, rasgos como la cultura del trabajo comunal y la solidaridad vecinal evidenciaron su utilidad desde el punto de vista organizacional, mostrándose como el mecanismo paliativo más eficiente, única respuesta inmediata ante el desastre, capaz de llegar a la totalidad del territorio afectado.
Una aproximación al estudio de la industria del cuero en el distrito de Cotacachi (Ecuador), bajo el esquema teórico marshalliano-becattiniano
Authors: Martín-Mayoral Fernando , Curiazi Roberta , Castro Ruales Leonel
Published: June 2019

El presente trabajo es el resultado de la primera parte de una investigación en curso sobre los rasgos característicos del distrito manufacturero ecuatoriano, usando como marco analítico de referencia el esquema teórico de matriz marshalliana-becattiniana. En este artículo se analiza el sector del cuero de Cotacachi (provincia de Imbabura, Ecuador), con el fin de conocer su contribución al desarrollo socioeconómico del territorio y determinar si puede ser considerado un distrito industrial en el sentido marshalliano-becattiniano. A través de métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos se propone un ejercicio de lectura del caso de Cotacachi en base al esquema teórico del distrito industrial italiano, sistematizado sobre la experiencia de Prato (Italia). La principal conclusión es que el sector del cuero de Cotacachi se encuentra aún en un estado de desarrollo embrionario del modelo de distrito industrial de Marshall-Becattini, donde no existe una “atmósfera industrial” que permita una “eficiencia colectiva” atada a procesos de innovación. La presencia de microrredes a su interior, que en potencia pueden generar un “efecto distrito” como en el caso de Prato, choca con un panorama casi ausente de iniciativas de subcontratación, donde no existen articulación entre actores productivos ni relaciones entre empresas (sino sólo en las microrredes) y falta un apoyo institucional adecuado; elementos, éstos, que limitan su potencial de desarrollo.
Reseña de Sindicatos y turismo de masas en las Baleares. Del franquismo a la democracia
Authors: Roig-Munar Francesc Xavier
Published: June 2019

Durante las décadas previas a la Guerra Civil en las islas Baleares, y debido a un marco económico fundamentado en la modernización fabril en municipios de Mallorca y Menorca, existían comités de partidos y sindicatos, mutuas y cooperativas. El desvanecimiento de esta industria, con el boom turístico, iniciado con el Plan de Estabilización de 1959, implicó la progresiva desaparición del sistema obrero insular.El libro, Sindicatos y turismo de masas en las Baleares. Del franquismo a la democracia, se centra en la historia del sindicalismo de la hostelería en Baleares, que resurgió de las elecciones sindicales de 1975 y que irrumpió de una organización sindical de los trabajadores hoteleros mallorquines.

Detection of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in trade donkeys (Equus asinus) at Ganawuri district market, Riyom Local Government area, Plateau State, North Central Nigeria
Authors: Bata Shalangwa Ishaku , Byencit Shalom Kumra
Published: June 2019

Background and Aim: Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite of public health significance due to its possible transmission to humans through ingestion of tissue cysts in raw or undercooked meat or food or water contaminated with oocysts shed by felids and transplacental transmission. This study was carried out to provide information on the possible risk of transmission through eating undercooked donkey meat by conducting a market based cross-sectional study design to determine the presence of T. gondii antibodies in trade donkeys in Ganawuri district, Riyom Local Government Area, Plateau State, North Central, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods: One hundred and thirteen serum samples were collected from trade donkeys at the market and analyzed for T. gondii antibodies using latex agglutination test (LAT). Serum samples with LAT titer >10 μl/ml were considered positive.

Results: The distribution of the donkeys based on their sources showed that greater proportions (61.1%) were from North Eastern part of the country. The study showed that 31 of the serum samples collected and analyzed were positive for T. gondii antibodies given an overall prevalence of 27.4%. The prevalence ranges between 22.2 and 33.3% across the states where the donkeys were sourced. The study showed that seropositivity increases with age (p=0.003; OR=11.8) and ranges between 12.5 and 47.2%. The prevalence did not vary significantly based on sex and source/location (p=0.494, OR=0.05; 0.920, 1.45, respectively).

Conclusion: This study showed that trade donkeys at Ganawuri district market have antibodies to T. gondii and suggest a public health risk from the consumption of undercooked donkey meat.
Economic losses caused by tree species proportions and site type errors in forest management planning
Authors: Haara Arto , Kangas Annika , Tuominen Sakari
Published: June 2019

The aim of this study was to estimate economic losses, which are caused by forest inventory errors of tree species proportions and site types. Our study data consisted of ground truth data and four sets of erroneous tree species proportions. They reflect the accuracy of tree species proportions in four remote sensing data sets, namely 1) airborne laser scanning (ALS) with 2D aerial image, 2) 2D aerial image, 3) 3D and 2D aerial image data together and 4) satellite data. Furthermore, our study data consisted of one simulated site type data set. We used the erroneous tree species proportions to optimise the timing of forest harvests and compared that to the true optimum obtained with ground truth data. According to the results, the mean losses of Net Present Value (NPV) because of erroneous tree species proportions at an interest rate of 3% varied from 124.4 â¬ ha to 167.7 â¬ ha. The smallest losses were observed using tree species proportions predicted using ALS data and largest using satellite data. In those stands, respectively, in which tree species proportion errors actually caused economic losses, they were 468 â¬ ha on average with tree species proportions based on ALS data. In turn, site type errors caused only small losses. Based on this study, accurate tree species identification seems to be very important with respect to operational forest inventory.â1â1â1

Perseguição de bugio infante (Alouatta fusca) por macacos-prego (Cebus apella): predação ou brincadeira?
Authors: Falótico Tiago , de Carvalho Carlos Eduardo G. , Greco Vivian L. G. , Izar Patricia , Ottoni Eduardo B.
Published: June 2019

Macacos-prego (
Cebus apella) e bugios (
Alouattasp.) são espécies simpátricas em diversas áreas do Brasil, mas não foram encontrados registros de interações sociais entre essas espécies. Nesse trabalho será descrito um evento de interação entre um grupo de macacos-prego e dois bugios.

Os animais habitam o Parque Ecológico de Tietê, em uma Área de Preservação de180.000 m
2. O grupo de macacos-prego é composto de 17 indivíduos e não há registrode quantos bugios vivem na área; durante a interação registrada, foram observados apenas um filhote e um adulto. O evento foi gravado em VHS, com foco no filhote de bugio.

No episódio houve perseguições e mordidas ao filhote de bugio, além de uma queda deste provocada pelos macacos-prego. O episódio durou aproximadamente 21 minutos, com a participação de 10 indivíduos do grupo de macacos-prego (3 adultos, 2 subadultos, 3 juvenis e dois infantes). Uma fêmea subadulta foi a que mais interagiu com o bugio (14 vezes), seguida por um macho juvenil, um macho adulto e outra fêmea subadulta (8 vezes). Durante a interação alguns pregos puxaram e morderam o filhote, que emitia vocalizações. Em alguns instantes durante o evento, as fêmeas subadultas e um macho subadulto apresentaram comportamentos característicos de ameaça, como eriçar os pêlos e mostrar os dentes.

Existem registros de que macacos-prego predam mamíferos de pequeno porte. Esse evento se assemelhou a uma tentativa de captura, tendo em vista as exibições de ameaça, o elevado número de indivíduos envolvidos e o grande tempo despendido, entretanto a predação não ocorreu. Nos raros encontros entre as duas espécies no local, as interações nunca passaram de ameaça por parte dos pregos a bugios adultos. Outra hipótese seria a curiosidade provocada pela novidade da situação de encontro com o filhote bugio, dada a grande excitação demonstrada pelos pregos e a participação de juvenis e infantes, o que permitiria caracterizar o episódio como brincadeira. Interações interespecíficas parecidas já foram observadas no Parque entre macacos-prego e quatis, envolvendo desde o roubo e morte de recém-nascidos de ninhos, sem predação, até o grooming e a brincadeira recíproca.

This review considers the clinical and pathogenetic aspects of an association between tobacco smoking dependence and depressive spectrum disorders. The comorbidity of these disorders has been established to be to a large extent determined by their common genetic bases. This association substantially affects the efficiency of treatment. Resistance to anti-nicotine and antidepressant medications is associated precisely with the comorbidity of these diseases. To enhance the efficiency of treatment, it is promising to include non-drug methods into the therapeutic complex. This makes it possible to achieve a gradual reduction in tobacco withdrawal syndrome and to prevent an exacerbation of comorbid depression.

Published: June 2019

Objective: to evaluate the significance of insomnia and chronobiological patterns in the development of headache (HA) attacks for the formation of clinical features of migraine and for the elaboration of strategies for its prevention.

Patients and methods. A prospective comparative study was conducted in 60 patients aged 18–65 years who were diagnosed as having migraine (with or without aura) with comorbid sleep disorder. Group 1 consisted of 30 patients with migraine and insomnia; Group 2 comprised 30 patients with migraine without insomnia. The study participation included four visits to a physician for 12 months.

Results and discussion. Persistent sleep disorders in patients with migraine were shown to worsen the course of the underlying disease: HA attacks had a greater intensity, mainly left-sided localization and a longer duration. Group 1 patients were observed to have a chronic course of the disease with a frequency of ≥8 attacks per month in 33% of cases. Analysis of biological rhythms revealed that individuals with evening and mildly evening chronotypes were characterized by the greatest changes in the sleep-wake cycle, by sleep deprivation and its reduced efficiency. Analysis of the data of HA and sleep diaries kept by the patients for 12 months showed that Group 1 had four peaks of the daily distribution of HA attacks; 13.4% of attacks occurred during sleep and early morning.

Conclusion. The coexistence of sleep disorders and HA is not only manifested as the overlapping of clinical manifestation, but also largely determines their natural course and prognosis, i.e. their progression into a chronic form. Therefore, it is imperative to identify sleep disorders in migraines, since their correction is effective and, in most cases, allows chronic HA to progress to an episodic form.

Objective: to study the association of DRD2/ANKK1 Taq1A polymorphism with depression in an open 45–64-year-old male population from Novosibirsk.

Patients and methods. A representative sample of an open 45–64-year-old male population (n=781) was surveyed within Screening IV of the international HAPIEE program and the WHO MONICA-psychosocial program in 2003–2005. All the study participants filled out the WHO MONICA-psychosocial Program Depression Scale. The DRD2/ANKK1 Taq1A C32806T (rs 1800497) polymorphism was genotyped using the published methods within the budgeting topic. The Pearson's chi-square (2) test was applied to test the statistical significance of differences between the groups. Significance in all types of analysis was taken at p ≤0.05.

Results and discussion. The prevalence of depression in the open 45–64-year-old male population was 36.3%: 13.5% of the examinees had severe depression (SD) and 22.8% had moderate depression (MD). A comparative intergroup analysis showed that the odds ratio (OR) for the incidence of SD was 3.86 times higher in the T/C genotype carriers than in the C/C genotype ones, who, on the contrary, had no depression; the OR for the incidence of SD was also 3.28 times higher in the T/C genotype carriers, while MD was more common in the homozygous C/C genotype carriers. The OR for the incidence of SD was 2.63 times higher in the DRD2 T allele carriers than in the C allele carriers who did not suffer from depression in most cases.

Conclusion. A significant association was established between the carriage of Taq1A (T allele) and depression in 45–64-year-old males.
Maps That Killed Alexander Posey
Authors: Cohen Matt
Published: June 2019

Nineteenth-century struggles over mapping concepts and techniques yielded the forebears of digital humanistic data visualizations today, staging the political tensions of the deep map’s entry into the humanities. The careers of educational reformer Emma Hart Willard and Creek poet and critic Alexander Posey, who were both map-makers in their ways, exemplify the entanglements of the history of deep mapping. Willard was a feminist innovator in her work with historical visualization, but at the cost of solidifying a regime of indigenous vanishment. Posey fought for his people’s cultural survival, but he did so from within a bureaucratic engine made possible in part by Willard’s widespread pedagogy linking the American map with a vision of settler dominance. These two figures left us provocative maps, but also offer a way to reflect on the justness of map-making — on the difficulty of deepening the map wisely, or even ethically.
Forces of Unworking in Virginia Woolf’s “Time Passes”
Authors: Heine Stefanie
Published: June 2019

The middle part of Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse, “Time Passes”, presents a seemingly post-human setting in which destruction reigns. Read today, this scenario immediately evokes imaginations of the Anthropocene while resisting teleological notions of an end-time. Rather, “Time Passes” is pervaded by forces of unworking: agency slips into passivity, whatever is done becomes undone. A holiday house abandoned by human beings decays to “rack and ruin” until a group of cleaners attempts to reverse nature’s work. Both the natural forces taking over and the cleaners engage in processes that are simultaneously destructive and productive. An analogous dynamic can be observed in Woolf’s writing and editing practices: her laborious revisions mainly consist in deleting. As Woolf continually erases large parts of her writing, composition and decomposition are interwoven.
Deep Mapping in Edward Hitchcock’s Geology and Emily Dickinson’s Poetry
Authors: Wry Joan
Published: June 2019

The vernacular of deep mapping provides a valuable resource for comparing Edward Hitchcock’s geology textbooks — particularly Elementary Geology — with select geology-based poems by Emily Dickinson. Although Dickinson’s poems that reveal a clear understanding of nineteenth-century science (especially geological findings) have already been critically analyzed by scholars such as Richard Sewall, Hiroko Uno, and Robin Peel, Dickinson’s verse has not yet been assessed from the vantage point of the complex layerings of literary deep mapping. Moreover, Dickinson’s poetic explorations of distinct timelines and phenomena in both human and natural history can be aligned in many instances not only with the language of Hitchcock’s textbooks, but also with the drawings, maps, charts, and cultural contexts embedded in these volumes. The language, imagery, inquiries and conjectures in poems by Dickinson that are explicated in this essay all have clear (as well as more nuanced) ties to Hitchcock’s Geology. My study proposes that even with their different genres and diverse authorial intentions, both Hitchcock and Dickinson engage in similar rich and multivalent approaches to what is clearly an incipient version of modern deep mapping.
“Old, Old Words, Worn Thin”
Authors: Balderston Daniel
Published: June 2019

This essay examines a probable second draft of the Borges story “El inmortal”, originally published as “Los inmortales” in Los Anales de Buenos Aires in February 1947, and subsequently included as the lead story in the short story collection El Aleph in 1949. The manuscript, which is now in Special Collections at Michigan State University Libraries, includes late revisions, though it seems to have been the copy sent to the compositors for Los Anales. There are several printer’s marks that indicate where to place the illustrations, two by Amanda Molina y Vedia and one by the writer’s sister, Norah Borges. This manuscript does not contain bibliographical references in the left margin, a feature of some other Borges manuscripts from this time, although the story itself includes acknowledged and unacknowledged quotations from a variety of sources.

Authors: Rahmani Alireza , Rahimzadeh Hadi , Beirami Somayeh
Published: June 2019

Phenol is considered as one of the major environmental concerns due to its characteristics including chronic toxicity, biological stability, and increasing the toxicological intermediates after biological degradation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the photo-degradation of phenol using the titanium dioxide (TiO2) photo-catalyst on ordered mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) support under UV irradiation. In this study, the effects of some parameters including pH value (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10), TiO2/CMK-3 concentration (0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.3, 0.5 g/L), irradiation time (30, 60, 90, 120, 150 min), and phenol concentration (50, 100, 150 and 200 mg/L) were assessed. The properties of the CMK-3 and TiO2/CMK-3 were compared using the transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm. The results revealed that the process studied was remarkably affected by the parameters, and the optimum values of the parameters were as follows: pH=6, TiO2/CMK-3 concentration =0.15 g/L, phenol concentration = 100 mg/L, and irradiation time=150 min. The phenol degradation efficiency and total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency for phenol were 96% and 74%, respectively. Moreover, the stability greater than 7 times for the studied photo-catalyst was indicative of its high potential to be used in photo-degradation processes for the elimination of pollutants.
