An ally you say? Endorsing White women as allies to encourage perceptions of allyship and organizational identity-safety among Black women
Authors: Johnson India R. , Pietri Evava S.
Published: December 2020

Black women often question their belonging in organizational environments, and exposure to an allyship cue, such as a White woman endorsed as an ally, may help mitigate such concerns. We examine whether ally endorsement can help a White female employee cue allyship, and in turn, serve as an effective organizational identity-safety cue for Black women high in stigma consciousness. We found that, relative to viewing a White female employee, Black women that viewed a White female employee endorsed as an ally reported greater perceptions of allyship, which had important downstream consequences for organizational identity-safety. Specifically, perceptions of allyship predicted greater anticipated trust and belonging within the organization among participants both high (Experiments 1 and 2) and low (Experiment 2) in stigma consciousness. The present studies demonstrate that ally endorsement effectively cues allyship, and in turn, signals organizational identity-safety for Black women across varying levels of stigma consciousness.

Published: December 2020

Electron beam melting technology offers various benefits like the reduced product cycle time, customization, flexibility, high energy density and less material wastage. However, electron beam melting still suffers from redundant usage of support structure material while fabricating overhang structures. The support structures not only consume additional material, but also require additional time for their design and removal. The optimized support structures have to be designed in such a way that they consume minimum material, are easy to remove and are free from defects. The aim of the current study is to study the effect of support design and process parameters on the performance of the support structures (cost and quality) during additive manufacturing of Ti6Al4V alloy via electron beam melting. The results show that the support structures parameters play a significant role in the cost of the applied support and the accuracy of the fabricated object. It was found that with appropriate selection of support design and process parameters, it is possible to reduce the support volume and hence the fabrication cost in metal additive manufacturing (AM). A tooth height of 3 mm, no support offset of 2 mm, and fragmentation separation width of 0.8 mm resulted in lower support volumes without having any effect on the quality of the overhang. This study systematically investigated the support structure design and their outcomes on overhang fabrication. Its conclusions could add value to the researchers working on additive manufacturing of Ti6Al4V alloy by electron beam melting.

Politicizing participatory culture at the margins: The significance of class, gender and online media for the practices of youth networks in the MENA region
Authors: Banaji Shakuntala , Moreno-Almeida Cristina
Published: December 2020

Our paper focuses on case studies of artistic, creative and political participation by young feminists and civil society groups in Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia and the UAE. Central questions uncover the intersecting significance of class, gender and new media in young MENA citizens’ participation; the connections between mediated cultural production and political intervention; and the role of structural barriers for online community and agency. Our conclusions challenge the notion that the democratic ethos of civic participation networks has burgeoned since digitization, and highlights that digital tools and online spaces work more effectively for youth with existing offline economic power and/or cultural capital.

Authors: Saran Sai , Gurjar Mohan , Azim Afzal , Maurya Indubala
Published: December 2020

There are risk factors related to architecture and designing labeled as “structural risk factors,” causing hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) which are less highlighted in the literature. Through this communication, we wish to reiterate the importance of structural risk factors such as space surrounding the patient, furniture with focus on construction and finishing materials used, and ventilation systems surrounding the patient as risk factors for HAIs and expect that these find a place in HAI prevention guidelines in the future.
Perceptions of the Key Stakeholders on Professional Development of Teachers in Rural Pakistan
Authors: Nawab Ali
Published: December 2020

Professional development (PD) has generally been associated with the learning opportunities teachers avail externally. However, the latest trends propagate grounding PD activities in the work place with the assumption that such shift will not only enable teachers to be engaged in ongoing learning but also help them to find contextual solutions for their specific issues. For other academics, however, PD refers to all the planned and unplanned activities which teachers avail to improve their practices. In this background, this research explored how relevant stakeholders in rural Pakistan perceive PD. Using a survey method and questionnaire tool, data were collected from teachers, school leaders, education department officials, and representatives of PD providers. The outcomes showed that majority of stakeholders associate PD to external learning opportunities provided to the teachers. In addition, there is a lack of shared understanding among different stakeholders with regard to the meaning of PD. These conclusions have implications for PD providers and educational reformers. Teachers should be oriented on latest trends in PD as well as supported to use the latest school-based PD models for their ongoing development.
Geochemical discrimination of the altered volcanic tuff from sediments in the Lunpola Basin, central Tibetan Plateau

Published: December 2020

Volcanic tuffs are important in determining the stratigraphic age of sedimentary sequences, which is closely related to the tectonic, sedimentological, geomorphological, palaeoclimatic, and palaeo-ecological evolution of the sequences. However, it may be difficult practically to identify tuffs in stratigraphic sections, especially when they are altered after deposition. In this study, a series of petrographic, mineralogical, and geochemical analyses was deployed in the tuff layers cropping out in the Lunpola Basin of the central Tibetan Plateau, which is a crucial site for studying the dynamics and processes of the Cenozoic uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and its environmental impacts. In these pyroclastic layers, authigenic analcime is the main volcanic glass alteration product. The analcime-bearing samples are Na-enriched, in contrast to the K-abundant magmatic rocks in the central Tibetan Plateau. The distribution patterns of the rare earth elements (REEs) of the bulk analcime-bearing samples are similar to those of the magmatic rocks but different from those of the analcime-poor sediments and analogues of well-mixed upper continental material (e.g. the upper continental crust and post-Archaean Australian average shales). The distinct distributions of Na and REEs among analcime-bearing samples, analcime-poor sediments, and volcanic rocks reveal that analcime formed both from alteration of volcanic material and from mixing processes with non-volcanic sediments. It is proposed, therefore, that the discrimination plot of Na2O/Al2O3-(La/Yb)Nmay be used to distinguish the analcime-related pyroclastic rocks from the basin sedimentary sequence, and thus it may provide a means of discriminating between various volcanic material and of supporting age dating by tephrochronology in the central Tibetan Plateau.

Published: December 2020

Background

Clinical studies found that medication for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is effective in coexisting autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but current research is based on small clinical studies mainly performed on children or adolescents. We here use register data to examine if individuals with ADHD and coexisting ASD present differences in the prescribing patterns of ADHD medication when compared to individuals with pure ADHD.

Methods

Data with information on filled prescriptions and diagnoses was retrieved from the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register and the National Patient Register. We identified 34,374 individuals with pure ADHD and 5012 individuals with ADHD and coexisting ASD, aged between 3 and 80 years. The first treatment episode with ADHD medications (≥ 2 filled prescriptions within 90 days) and daily doses of methylphenidate during a 3-year period was measured. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated for the likelihood of being prescribed ADHD medication in individuals with and without ASD and Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare group differences in dose per day.

Results

Individuals with ADHD and coexisting ASD were less likely to start continuous treatment with ADHD medication (ADHD 80.5%; ADHD with ASD 76.2%; OR, 0.80; 95% confidence interval, 0.75-0.86), were less likely to be prescribed methylphenidate, and were more commonly prescribed second line treatments such as dexamphetamine, amphetamine, or modafinil. No group difference was observed for atomoxetine. In adults with ADHD and coexisting ASD, methylphenidate was prescribed in lower daily doses over three years as compared to individuals with pure ADHD.

Conclusions

The findings indicate that there are differences in the medical treatment of individuals with or without ASD. If these differences are due to different medication responses in ASD or due to other factors such as clinicians’ perceptions of medication effects in patients with ASD, needs to be further studied.
Understanding personalized dynamics to inform precision medicine: a dynamic time warp analysis of 255 depressed inpatients
Authors: Hebbrecht K. , Stuivenga M. , Birkenhäger T. , Morrens M. , Fried E. I. , Sabbe B. , Giltay E. J.
Published: December 2020

Background

Major depressive disorder (MDD) shows large heterogeneity of symptoms between patients, but within patients, particular symptom clusters may show similar trajectories. While symptom clusters and networks have mostly been studied using cross-sectional designs, temporal dynamics of symptoms within patients may yield information that facilitates personalized medicine. Here, we aim to cluster depressive symptom dynamics through dynamic time warping (DTW) analysis.

Methods

The 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD-17) was administered every 2 weeks for a median of 11 weeks in 255 depressed inpatients. The DTW analysis modeled the temporal dynamics of each pair of individual HRSD-17 items within each patient (i.e., 69,360 calculated “DTW distances”). Subsequently, hierarchical clustering and network models were estimated based on similarities in symptom dynamics both within each patient and at the group level.

Results

The sample had a mean age of 51 (SD 15.4), and 64.7% were female. Clusters and networks based on symptom dynamics markedly differed across patients. At the group level, five dynamic symptom clusters emerged, which differed from a previously published cross-sectional network. Patients who showed treatment response or remission had the shortest average DTW distance, indicating denser networks with more synchronous symptom trajectories.

Conclusions

Symptom dynamics over time can be clustered and visualized using DTW. DTW represents a promising new approach for studying symptom dynamics with the potential to facilitate personalized psychiatric care.

Published: December 2020

Background

In pregnancy lipid levels increase with gestation resembling an atherogenic lipid profile. Currently it is unclear whether gestational lipid levels are associated with an adverse cardiovascular risk profile later in life. The aim of this study is to assess the association between gestational lipid levels and lipid levels and prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MS) six years after pregnancy.

Methods

In plasma of 3510 women from the Generation R Study; a prospective population-based cohort, we measured lipid levels (total cholesterol, triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-c]), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), remnant cholesterol and non-HDL-c were calculated in early pregnancy (median 13.2 weeks, 90% range [10.5 to 17.1]) and six years after pregnancy (median 6.5 years, 90% range [6.2 to 7.8]). MS was assessed six years after pregnancy according to the NCEP/ATP3 criteria. We also examined the influence of pregnancy complications on these associations.

Results

Gestational lipid levels were positively associated with corresponding lipid levels six years after pregnancy, independent of pregnancy complications. Six years after pregnancy the prevalence of MS was 10.0%; the prevalence was higher for women with a previous placental syndrome (13.5%). Gestational triglycerides and remnant cholesterol in the highest quartile and HDL-c in the lowest quartile were associated with the highest risk for future MS, independent of smoking and body mass index.

Conclusions

Gestational lipid levels provide an insight in the future cardiovascular risk profile of women in later life. Monitoring and lifestyle intervention could be indicated in women with an unfavorable gestational lipid profile to optimize timely cardiovascular risk prevention.

PURPOSE

It is hypothesized that cisplatin-based chemotherapy (CBCT) reduces the occurrence of metachronous contralateral (second) germ cell testicular cancer (TC). However, studies including treatment details are lacking. The aim of this study was to assess the second TC risk, emphasizing the impact of previous TC treatment.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

Based on the Cancer Registry of Norway, 5,620 men were diagnosed with first TC between 1980 and 2009. Treatment data regarding TC were retrieved from medical records. Cumulative incidences of second TC were estimated, and standardized incidence ratios were calculated. The effect of treatment intensity was investigated using Cox proportional hazard regression.

RESULTS

Median follow-up was 18.0 years, during which 218 men were diagnosed with a second TC after median 6.2 years. Overall, the 20-year crude cumulative incidence was 4.0% (95% CI, 3.5 to 4.6), with lower incidence after chemotherapy (CT) (3.2%; 95% CI, 2.5 to 4.0) than after surgery only (5.4%; 95% CI, 4.2 to 6.8). The second TC incidence was also lower for those age ≥ 30 years (2.8%; 95% CI, 2.3 to 3.4) at first TC diagnosis than those age < 30 years (6.0%; 95% CI, 5.0 to 7.1). Overall, the second TC risk was 13-fold higher compared with the risk of developing TC in the general male population (standardized incidence ratio, 13.1; 95% CI, 11.5 to 15.0). With surgery only as reference, treatment with CT significantly reduced the second TC risk (hazard ratio [HR], 0.55). For each additional CBCT cycle administered, the second TC risk decreased significantly after three, four, and more than four cycles (HRs, 0.53, 0.41, and 0.21, respectively).

CONCLUSION

Age at first TC diagnosis and treatment intensity influenced the second TC risk, with significantly reduced risks after more than two CBCT cycles.
Chaplygin sleigh in the quadratic potential field
Authors: Kuznetsov Sergey P. , Kruglov Vyacheslav P. , Borisov Alexey V.
Published: December 2020

We study numerically the dynamics of Chaplygin sleigh under the action of the quadratic potential field. In contrast with the free Chaplygin sleigh our mechanical model manifests a complex behaviour: conservative-like chaotic regimes at low energies, coexistent pairs of chaotic attractors and repellers, mapping to each other by time-reversal symmetry, and the recently discovered phenomenon of attractor and repeller intersection, at high energies. We demonstrate that the development of attractors and repellers corresponds to a period doubling scenario, followed by their collision and instant increase in size.

Tunable sharp resonances based on multimode interference in a MIM-ring coupling plasmonic resonator system
Authors: Qi Yunping , Zhang Ting , Zhang Yu , Wang Xiangxian
Published: December 2020

An asymmetric plasmonic resonator system is composed of two metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguides and a ring resonator is proposed. And tunable sharp resonance based on multimode interference in MIM-ring coupling plasmonic resonator system is theoretically and numerically studied. The Fano resonance of the two different physical mechanisms in this paper is explained by using the multimode interference coupled mode theory (MICMT). Results obtained by the theory of MICMT are very well consistent with those from the finite element method (FEM) simulation. For an independent MIM-ring coupling plasmonic resonator system, its Fano resonance is formed by different resonance modes of the same ring resonator interfering with each other. Moreover, the theory of ring resonator explains the red shift which is attributable to the increase of the inner ring radius. For the rectangular and ring hybrid coupling plasmonic resonator system, the electromagnetic waves in the ring resonator and the rectangular resonator interfere with each other, which leads to the Fano resonance. We also studied the sensitivity (S) and figure of merit (FOM) of the rectangular and ring hybrid resonator system as a refractive index sensor up to 1350 nm /RIU and 1543, respectively, which has a certain reference value for the bio-chemical sensors, filters and modulator for large-scale photonic integration.

The development of a predictive risk model on post-ablation hemobilia: a multicenter matched case–control study
Authors: Liu Bozhi , Li Honglu , Guo Jiang , Duan Youjia , Li Changqing , Chen Jinglong , Zheng Jiasheng , Li Wei
Published: December 2020

Objective:

This study aimed to develop a predictive risk model for post-ablation hemobilia.

Methods:

This was a retrospective, multicenter, matched case–control study. The case group comprised patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who developed post-ablation hemobilia (n = 21); the control group (n = 63) comprised patients with hepatocellular carcinoma but no post-ablation hemobilia; for each case, we included three controls matched for age, sex, platelet count, year of ablation therapy, and center. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for hemobilia. A risk score model was developed based on adjusted odds ratios (ORs).

Results:

The independent risk factors for occurrence of post-ablation hemobilia were maximum tumor diameter >47 mm [OR = 5.983, 95% CI (1.134–31.551)] and minimum distance from the applicator to the portal trunk ≤8 mm [OR = 4.821, 95% CI (1.225–18.975)]. The risk model was developed using the adjusted ORs; thus a score of 6 was assigned to the former and a score of 5 for the latter. The area under the curve of this risk model was 0.76. Significant hemodynamic instability and inaccurate embolization might increase the risk of recurrence of hemobilia.

Conclusion:

Tumor size >47 mm and distance of the applicator from the portal trunk ≤8 mm are independent risk factors for hemobilia. A predictive risk model for post-ablation hemobilia was developed using these risk factors.

Advances in knowledge:

This is the first study that developed a risk score model of post-ablation hemobilia. Risk factors of the recurrence of post-ablation hemobilia were also been identified.

Published: December 2020

Objective:

Lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) partly reduces cancer-specific mortality. However, few data have described this specific population for screening in mainland China. Here, we conducted a population-based screening program in Anhui, China.

Methods:

9084 individuals were participating in the screening program for lung cancer in Anhui province from 1 June 2014 to 31 May 2017. LDCT was offered to all participants who joined the program.

Results:

Of 9084 individuals undergoing LDCT, we detected 54 lung cancers (0.594%). The age with the highest rate was 61–65 years (up to 1.016%), followed by 56–60 (0.784%). Most patients (98.1%, 53/54) were in stage I–II (early stage), and only one was in stage III (advanced stage). Adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and small cell lung cancer accounted for 57.4% (31/54), 37% (20/54) and 5.6% (3/54) of the individuals, respectively. Notably, There were 4,102 never smokers in our study. The median age was 63 years. Males and females accounted for 53.4 and 46.6%, respectively. Among the 4102 never smokers, 96 participants had a positive family cancer history. Additionally, we detected 20 lung cancers (0.488%), slightly lower than the whole rate 0.594%. Finally, our data showed that age, smoking, family cancer history and features of nodules were risk factors for lung cancer.

Conclusion:

Our study qualified the efficiency of LDCT to detect early-stage lung cancers in Anhui, China. Further establishment of appropriate lung cancer screening methods specifically for individuals in China is warranted.

Advances in knowledge:

We evaluated the performance of lung cancer screening for asymptomatic populations using LDCT in Anhui, an eastern inland province of China. Our study qualified the efficiency of LDCT to detect early-stage lung cancers in Anhui, China.

Introduction: In Greece, it is estimated that annually 600 new cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed, being the third most common form of cancer in women after breast cancer (22.9%) and colon cancer (9.4%).In addition to being life-threatening, such a diagnosis can also represent the psychological impact of gynecological cancers; there are negative emotional consequences of such a diagnosis for both patients and their families affecting the quality of life (QOL) of patients with gynecological cancer.Aim: To examine the quality of life (QOL) of women with recent diagnosis of gynecologic cancer (RDGC) in Greece during their illness and to identify the psychosocial problems and the symptoms faced by women in the early stages of the disease.Material and Method: A prospective study of 63 patients with RDGC before undergoing hysterectomy, who completed the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire.Results: The patients were between 45 and 50 years old (19.6%). Impaired physical functioning of women with RDGC was associated with strenuous activity or a long walk. Emotionally, patients showed a lack of concentration, tension, anxiety, irritation and depression. Age was negatively correlated with depression (p-value = 0.05<0.1). More than half of women had pain and few of them suffered a lot. Pain, shortness of breath (dyspnea) and fatigue caused discomfort and interference with daily living activities. More than half had sleeping disorders. Constipation and lack of appetite were common symptoms of the digestive system. Most women had no social or financial problems and rated their quality of life “very good”.Conclusions: Women with a RDGC, besides the common physical symptoms such as fatigue, pain, anorexia, sleep disorders and loss of appetite, had also emotional disorders. The feeling of depression was present in most patients. It was found that the younger the patient, the more depressed they feel.

Статья посвящена вопросам возникновения и прохождения социальных изменений в условиях интенсивного информационного воздействия. Основной целью статьи является разработка авторской концепции, повышающей уровень социального самочувствия членов общества, направленной на формирование оптимальной социальной среды для социальной адаптации индивидов. Основными методами исследования выступили общенаучные и специальные методы, в частности диалектический, системный, сравнительный анализ, а также метод логического моделирования при разработке авторской концепции.В статье рассматривается проблема, связанная с разновекторностью информационного воздействия на индивида в современном обществе. Причина роста социальной неудовлетворенности индивидов в современном обществе связывается с проблемами к адаптации в условиях разновекторности социальных изменений (флуктуаций), вызывающих социальную дезориентацию. По результатам проведенного анализа делается вывод о том, что часть социальных флуктуаций является разновекторными и не формирует реальных социальных изменений, влияя, исключительно, на информационное пространство (формируя «информационные шумы»). Также критически рассматривается субъективность индивида в процессе интерпретации социальных изменений в условиях социальной дезориентации и восприимчивость к внешнему информационному воздействию в результате указанной дезориентации. Общими проблемами адаптации к социальным изменениям названы: социальная леность, дезориентация, сложность формирования индивидуальной стратегии адаптации, а также мнимость социальных изменений (существование социальных изменений только в виртуальном пространстве).Сформулирована концепция, согласно которой, необходимо повышать эффективность функционирования социальных микрогрупп (трудовых коллективов) в процессе социальной адаптации. Настаивается на важности понимания паттернов, привносимых в социальные группы в процессе многосекторного информационного воздействия. Основным направлением повышения эффективности социальной адаптации предлагается формирование адаптированной национальной модели управления персоналом, основанной на увеличении роли трудовых микрогрупп (как единственных оставшихся стойких социальных образований) в процессе адаптации к социальным изменениям. Последнее, по мнению авторов, позволит улучшить и социальное самочувствие индивидов.

Ready to Go Home? Assessment of Shared Mental Models of the Patient and Discharging Team Regarding Readiness for Hospital Discharge
Authors: Manges Kirstin A , Wallace Andrea S , Groves Patricia S , Schapira Marilyn M , Burke Robert E
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND

A critical task of the inpatient interprofessional team is readying patients for discharge. Assessment of shared mental model (SMM) convergence can determine how much team members agree about patient discharge readiness and how their mental models align with the patient's self‐assessment.

OBJECTIVE

Determine the convergence of interprofessional team SMMs of hospital discharge readiness and identify factors associated with these assessments.

DESIGN

We surveyed interprofessional discharging teams and each team's patient at time of hospital discharge using validated tools to capture their SMMs.

PARTICIPANTS

Discharge events (N = 64) from a single hospital consisting of the patient and their team (nurse, coordinator, physician).

MEASURES

Clinician and patient versions of the validated Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scales/Short Form (RHDS/SF). We measured team convergence by comparing the individual clinicians' scores on the RHDS/SF, and we measured team‐patient convergence as the absolute difference between the Patient‐RHDS/SF score and the team average score on the Clinician‐RHDS/SF.

RESULTS

Discharging teams assessed patients as having high readiness for hospital discharge (mean score, 8.5 out of 10; SD, 0.91). The majority of teams had convergent SMMs with high to very high interrater agreement on discharge readiness (mean r*wg(J), 0.90; SD, 0.10). However, team‐patient SMM convergence was low: Teams overestimated the patient's self‐assessment of readiness for discharge in 48.4% of events. We found that teams reporting higher‐quality teamwork (P = .004) and bachelor's level–trained nurses (P < .001) had more convergent SMMs with the patient.

CONCLUSION

Measuring discharge teams' SMM of patient discharge readiness may represent an innovative assessment tool and potential lever to improve the quality of care transitions.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND: Transitions from hospital to the ambulatory setting are high risk for patients in terms of adverse events, poor clinical outcomes, and readmission.

OBJECTIVES: To develop, implement, and refine a multifaceted care transitions intervention and evaluate its effects on postdischarge adverse events.

DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Two-arm, single-blind (blinded outcomes assessor), stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized clinical trial. Participants were 1,679 adult patients who belonged to one of 17 primary care practices and were admitted to a medical or surgical service at either of two participating hospitals within a pioneer accountable care organization (ACO).

INTERVENTIONS: Multicomponent intervention in the 30 days following hospitalization, including: inpatient pharmacist-led medication reconciliation, coordination of care between an inpatient “discharge advocate” and a primary care “responsible outpatient clinician,” postdischarge phone calls, and postdischarge primary care visit.

MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The primary outcome was rate of postdischarge adverse events, as assessed by a 30-day postdischarge phone call and medical record review and adjudicated by two blinded physician reviewers. Secondary outcomes included preventable adverse events, new or worsening symptoms after discharge, and 30-day nonelective hospital readmission.

RESULTS: Among patients included in the study, 692 were assigned to usual care and 987 to the intervention. Patients in the intervention arm had a 45% relative reduction in postdischarge adverse events (18 vs 23 events per 100 patients; adjusted incidence rate ratio, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.35-0.84). Significant reductions were also seen in preventable adverse events and in new or worsening symptoms, but there was no difference in readmission rates.

CONCLUSION: A multifaceted intervention was associated with a significant reduction in postdischarge adverse events but no difference in 30-day readmission rates. Journal of Hospital Medicine 2020; 15:XXX-XXX. © 2020 Society of Hospital Medicine
POST-POSTMODERN CINEMA AT THE TURN OF THE MILLENNIUM: PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON’S MAGNOLIA (1999).
Authors: Bolaño Quintero Jesús
Published: December 2020

Starting with an analysis of the significance of the French New Wave for postmodern cinema, this essay sets out to make a study of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia (1999) as the film that marks the beginning of what could be considered a paradigm shift in American cinema at the end of the 20th century. Building from the muchdebated passing of postmodernism, this study focuses on several key postmodern aspects that take a different slant in this movie. The film points out the value of aspects that had lost their meaning within the fiction typical of postmodernism—such as the absence of causality; sincere honesty as opposed to destructive irony; or the loss of faith in Lyotardian meta-narratives. We shall look at the nature of the paradigm shift to link it to the desire to overcome postmodern values through a recovery of Romantic ideas.
BREAKING THE AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL PACT: TRUTH AND LIFE-WRITING IN ALISON BECHDEL’S FUN HOME.
Authors: Carpintero Torres-Quevedo María Elena
Published: December 2020

Much of the focus on truth in critical responses to Fun Home has surrounded the use of archival evidence and the access to truth provided by the graphic medium. This article will explore these issues as well as the relationship to truth established by the text’s metafictional devices and interactions with genre, particularly the genre of the Bildungsroman. This article will analyze the commentary the text provides not just on its own relationship to truth, but the role of truth in autobiographical texts in general, and in women’s and other marginalized groups’ autobiographical texts in particular. In the context of a critical landscape in which the veracity of autobiographical work by women is often subject to skeptical criticism, this article will argue that Fun Home acts, not as an exception to the genre of autobiography, but as a commentary on the gap between the presumed autobiographical pact and the historical, political, and aesthetic reality of autobiographical works.
INCORPORATING AMBIGUITY INTO GIRLHOOD EXPERIENCES: GENDER STEREOTYPES AND IDENTITY NEGOTIATIONS IN MARY HELEN PONCE'S HOYT STREET AND NORMA E. CANTÚ'S CANÍCULA: SNAPSHOTS OF A GIRLHOOD EN LA FRONTERA.
Authors: Fernández-García Andrea
Published: December 2020

This paper reconsiders the Chicana girlhood narratives of Mary Helen Ponce and Norma E. Cantú, Hoyt Street and Canícula respectively, as instances of the ambiguous gender identities that lie at the core of much post-Borderlands theory. Drawing on Jose Esteban Muñoz’s theory of disidentification, Jennifer Ayala’s concept of “mothering in the borderlands” and Gloria Anzaldúa’s latest insights on liminality and fluidity, I contend that the female characters of the novels under analysis enter into a contradictory dialogue with the patriarchal archetypes of the mother, the virgin and the whore. Thus, this paper departs from previous feminist approaches to these texts, which have disregarded the characters’ allegiance and non-allegiance to patriarchal discourses on Chicana femininity. My aim with this essay is to advance new readings of these girlhood narratives as well as to contribute to research into the fragmentary and largely evasive character of Chicana identities.
USURPING THE VICTIM’S TRAUMA NARRATIVE: VICTIM-BLAMING AND SLUT-SHAMING ON SEASON 1 OF YOU.
Authors: Pedro Dina
Published: December 2020

The American TV series You (2018-) has been the subject of a heated debate on both social media and Academia in regard to its ambiguous approach to feminism and gender violence, due to its prioritization of the perpetrator’s voice over the victim’s (Rajiva and Patrick 2019). In the present context of feminist activism, with movements such as #MeToo and Time’s Up fostering female solidarity and giving voice to survivors of sexual violence, the series appears to have an opposite, and even sexist, agenda. Drawing on the concept of ‘trauma narratives’ (Vickroy 2004; Kohlke and Gutleben 2010), I argue that the first season of the show fails to grant the female victim, Beck, a therapeutic space where she can share her traumatic experience with a sympathetic audience, prioritising the perpetrator’s POV, instead. This makes the audience align with him, blaming his female victims for their promiscuity and even falling for his romanticised view of violence against women.
El mito en las instituciones: Vico y Sorel.
Authors: Fellmann Ferdinand
Published: December 2020

La interpretación institucional del mito se explicita aquí a partir de la recepción moderna de la teoría viquiana del mito por parte de Georges Sorel. Cabe distinguir dos orientaciones en esa recepción. Una de ellas conduce al desencadenamiento de lo mítico en el «activismo político» (I). La otra recepción, circunscrita al Sorel temprano, interpreta el mito sociológicamente, como un análogo de la moral. Ésta es la única forma en que el mito puede seguir teniendo una función legítima en el pensamiento político después de la Ilustración (II). PALABRAS CLAVE: F. Fellmann, G. Vico, G. Sorel, mito, instituciones, moral, pensamiento político.
Un bosquejo del legado de Giambattista Vico en la ciencia psicológica actual.
Authors: Silva-Rodríguez Arturo , Guarneros Reyes Esperanza
Published: December 2020

: En este artículo se aborda el pensamiento de G. Vico principalmente en lo concerniente a la conformación de una ciencia psicológica que la dota de un corpus propio lleno de significados, cuyo principal interés son las acciones humanas, las cuales permiten comprender la vida individual y social. Para lograr esta labor primero se analiza la forma en que ha evolucionado la sociedad, con base en las ideas de Vico plasmadas en su Scienza nuova; posteriormente se examina el papel de las acciones humanas en la comprensión del pensamiento psicológico actual. Se presenta además un bosquejo del entorno intelectual y científico que se vivía en la época de Vico; se analiza también el impacto de su pensamiento en la eterna disputa que se ha mantenido en la ciencia psicológica sobre la dirección que debe seguir ésta, personificada en la encrucijada ¿explicar o comprender?

POTASSIUM FERTIRRIGATION ON ICEBERG LETTUCE
Authors: Oliveira Gabriel Queiroz de , Biscaro Guilherme Augusto , Geisenhoff Luciano Oliveira , Drehmer Karoline kovaleski Bertoldo
Published: December 2020

The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of potassium doses, being applied in fertigation on iceberg lettuce cultivar “Lucy Brown” in Typic Hapludox. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, consisting of six doses of K2O (0; 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 kg ha-1) and four blocks. The treatments were applied in six periods: 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, and 43 days after transplantation seedlings, using potassium chloride as a source of K2O. The variables analyzed were: total fresh mass, fresh head mass, head circumference, number of inner leaves, number of outer leaves, total number of leaves, total yield and commercial yield. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and means compared by regression models. Thus, we can conclude that the K2O doses that provides the highest value of the variables is 75 kg ha-1, with the exception of the number of internal leaves that do not have a significant effect.
Escultures vivents: estampes i pintures més allà de Pigmalió
Authors: Furió Galí Vicenç
Published: December 2020

Aquest assaig pretén cridar l’atenció sobre un tipus de representació poc usual que ha passat bastant inadvertida. En algunes pintures i estampes del segles XVI al XVIII en les quals es representen escultures, aquestes semblen vives. S’exclou aquí el mite de Pigmalió, perquè l’article es centra només en imatges en les quals la narració no exigeix representar l’estàtua com si estigués animada.

Dynamic control of magnetization spot arrays with three-dimensional orientations

Published: December 2020

We report a new paradigm for achieving magnetization spot arrays with controllable three-dimensional (3D) orientations. Toward this aim, we subtly design a tailored incident beam containing three parts and further demonstrate that the designed incident beam is phase-modulated radial polarization. Based on the raytracing model under tight focusing condition and the inverse Faraday effect on the magneto-optic (MO) film, the magnetization field components along the y-axis and z-axis directions are generated through the focus. In particular, we are able to garner orientation-tunable 3D magnetization under different numerical apertures of the focusing objectives by adjusting the ratios between the three parts of incident beam. Apart from a single magnetization spot, magnetization spot arrays capable of dynamically controlling 3D orientation in each spot can also be achieved by multi-zone plate (MZP) phase filter. Such a robust magnetization pattern is attributed to not only the constructive interferences of three orthogonal focal field components, but also the position translation of each magnetization spot resulting from shifting phase of the MZP phase filter. It is expected that the research outcomes can be beneficial to spintronics, magnetic encryption and multi-value MO parallelized storage.
Ultra-thin boundary layer for high-accuracy simulations of light propagation
Authors: Osnabrugge Gerwin , Benedictus Maaike , Vellekoop Ivo M.
Published: December 2020

The modified Born series method is currently one of the most efficient methods available for simulating light scattering in large inhomogeneous media. However, to achieve high accuracy, the method requires thick gradually absorbing layers around the simulation domain. Here, we introduce new boundary conditions, combining a padding-free acyclic convolution with an ultra-thin boundary layer. Our new boundary conditions minimize the wrap-around and reflection artefacts originating from the edges of the simulation domain, while also greatly reducing the computational costs and the memory requirements of the method. Our GPU-accelerated Matlab implementation is available on GitHub.
Designing of strongly confined short-wave Brillouin phonons in silicon waveguide periodic lattices
Authors: Zurita Roberto O. , Wiederhecker Gustavo S. , Mayer Alegre Thiago P.
Published: December 2020

We propose a feasible waveguide design optimized for harnessing Stimulated Brillouin Scattering with long-lived phonons. The design consists of a fully suspended ridge waveguide surrounded by a 1D phononic crystal that mitigates losses to the substrate while providing the needed homogeneity for the build-up of the optomechanical interaction. The coupling factor of these structures was calculated to be G
B
/Q
m
 = 0.54 (W m)−1 for intramodal backward Brillouin scattering with its fundamental TE-like mode and G
B
/Q
m
 = 4.5 (W m)−1 for intramodal forward Brillouin scattering. The addition of the phononic crystal provides a 30 dB attenuation of the mechanical displacement after only five unitary cells, possibly leading to a regime where the acoustic losses are only limited by fabrication. As a result, the total Brillouin gain, which is proportional to the product of the coupling and acoustic quality factors, is nominally equal to the idealized fully suspended waveguide.
