Virtual Vanderbilt Summer Science Academy highlighted the opportunity to impact early STEMM students career knowledge through narrative
Authors: Oliver Kendra H. , Keeton Christina , Chalkley Roger , Bowman Elizabeth
Published: November 2021

Due to COVID-19 precautions, the Vanderbilt University summer biomedical undergraduate research program, the Vanderbilt Summer Science Academy (VSSA), rapidly transitioned from offering an in-person training program to a virtual seminar format. Our program typically supports undergraduate development through research and/or clinical experience, meeting with individuals pursuing postgraduate training, and providing career development advice. Evidence supports the idea that summer programs transform undergraduates by clarifying their interest in research and encouraging those who haven’t previously considered graduate studies. We were interested in exploring whether a virtual, synchronous program would increase participants’ scientific identity and clarify postgraduate career planning. Rather than create a virtual research exposure, our 5-week "Virtual VSSA" program aimed to simulate the casual connections that would naturally be made with post-undergraduate trainees during a traditional summer program. In seminars, presenters discussed 1) their academic journey, explaining their motivations, goals, and reasons for pursuing a career in science as well as 2) a professional story that illustrated their training. Seminars included Vanderbilt University and Medical School faculty, M.D., MD/Ph.D., as well as Ph.D. students from diverse scientific and personal backgrounds. In addition, weekly informational sessions provided an overview of the nature of each degree program along with admissions advice. Through pre-and post-program surveys, we found that students who registered for this experience already strongly identified with the STEMM community (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine). However, participation in the Virtual VSSA increased their sense of belonging. We also uncovered a gap in participants’ understanding of postgraduate pathways prior to participation and found that our program significantly increased their self-reported understanding of postgraduate programs. It also increased their understanding of why someone would pursue a Ph.D. or Ph.D./MD versus M.D. These changes did not uniformly impact participants’ planned career paths. Overall, by providing personal, tangible stories of M.D., MD/Ph.D., and Ph.D. training, the Virtual VSSA program offered seminars that positively impacted students’ sense of belonging with and connection to the STEMM disciplines.

‘All across Europe it had come’: The Black Death and Fascism in Sylvia Townsend Warner’s The Corner That Held Them
Authors: Piette Adam
Published: November 2021

Sylvia Townsend Warner’s wartime novel The Corner that Held Them (1948), about a nunnery during the Black Death, reflects on female community and bonding in a period of male fascist violence. The novel explores the shift from pacifism to acceptance of the need for anti-fascist war which characterised Warner’s intellectual beliefs from the 1930s into wartime, probing the arts of peace in compositional practice. Such a dialectic of war and peace is considered in relation to what Maud Ellmann has described as the outward turn to collective choral consciousness in mid-century modernism. This article explores both the staging of fascism as plague and the feminist daring and limits that Warner saw as operative in female witnessing and withstanding of Nazi ideology and menace. It closely reads key scenes from the panorama of a novel (notably Alianor’s stillness as her husband is killed, Alicia’s plans to withstand the economic impact of the Black Death and the cure of Ralph’s plague symptoms) to register the satirical and allegorical substance of Warner’s rescripting of Woolfian notions of resistance to warmongering misogyny by a society of outsiders.

The readings seek to consolidate a varied and multiple sense of the book as a Marxist historical novel that gives voice to the ruled. In doing so Warner analyses the Black Death as a moment in history that saw the emergence of early modern capitalism and labour relations out of the feudal system, even as the religious framework that had structured medieval Europe gave way to more secular beliefs in autonomy, self-determination, citizen and collective dreams, projects and affects. At the same time the plague as a political trope, rooted in anti-fascist rhetoric that turns Nazi anti-Semitic uses of the Black Death motif on their head, triggers readings that bring those historical scenes into allegorical relation with the ways in which the Second World War was experienced by marginalised female communities.
Hamlet in England
Authors: Warner Sylvia Townsend
Published: November 2021

An unpublished short story by Sylvia Townsend Warner. It fancifully elaborates the story of Acts 4 and 5 of Hamlet, starting on board the ship taking Hamlet to England after the killing of Polonius. The story begins before the Danish vessel’s encounter with a pirate ship and Hamlet’s capture by the pirates, and imagines the circumstances by which he returns to Denmark in the changed state of mind in which we meet him in Act 5.

Rancang Bangun Green Belt Untuk Pengendalian Pencemaran Debu di Kawasan Industri Terboyo (Jalan Kaligawe)
Authors: Hardyanti Nurandani , Darmawan Matthew , Huboyo Haryono Setiyo
Published: November 2021

Pencemaran udara adalah masuknya atau bercampurnya unsur-unsur berbahaya ke atmosfer yang dapat menyebabkan kerusakan lingkungan, gangguan kesehatan manusia pada umumnya, dan penurunan kualitas lingkungan. Salah satu solusi untuk mengatasi masalah pencemaran udara adalah dengan merencanakan Green Belt. Green Belt atau Sabuk hijau adalah kawasan bebas bangunan atau ruang terbuka hijau di sekitar kawasan sumber pencemar yang berguna sebagai penyaring fisik pencemar udara serta aspek lain seperti estetika, fungsi peneduh dan penunjang keanekaragaman hayati. Oleh karena itu, perencanaan Green Belt menjadi penting sebagai aspek yang dapat mengendalikan tingkat pencemaran udara, khususnya pencemaran debu, pada lokasi perencanaan yang ditargetkan, khususnya Kawasan Industri Terboyo. Berdasarkan sampling yang dilakukan, angka konsentrasi debu menunjukkan angka yang cukup tinggi yaitu 801,6 mg/m3. Dengan desain Green Belt jenis pohon Acacia mampu menurunkan konsentrasi debu mulai dari efisiensi 15,84% pada tahun tanam dan meningkat pesat setiap tahunnya. Efisiensi optimal Green Belt akan tercapai pada tahun ke-2 dengan laju 71,40% dan akan mampu mencapai efisiensi maksimum pada tahun ke-5 dengan laju 87,92%. ABSTRACTAir pollution is the entry or mixing of hazardous elements into the atmosphere which can cause environmental damage, disturbances to human health in general and reduce environmental quality. One of the solutions to tackle air pollution problems is to plan a Green Belt. Green belt is a building-free zone or green open space around the pollutant source area which is useful as a physical filter for air pollutants as well as other aspects such as aesthetics, shading functions, and biodiversity support. Therefore, planning a Green Belt is important as an aspect that can control the level of air pollution, especially dust pollution, at the targeted planning location, especially Terboyo Industrial Area. Based on the sampling carried out, the dust concentration figure shows a high number, namely 801.6 mg / m3. With the Acacia tree species Green Belt design, it can reduce dust concentrations starting from an efficiency of 15.84% in the planting year and increasing rapidly each year. The optimum efficiency of the Green Belt will be achieved in the 2nd year with the rate of 71.40% and it will be able to reach the maximum efficiency in the 5th year with the rate of 87.92%.

Published: November 2021

Fruits of various Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) cultivars are widely used in food industries for its inimitable color, taste and nutrient value. We elevated fruit morphology and kernel fatty acids composition of eleven Iranian cultivars of pistachio. Oils of kernels were extracted using cold press method, and composition of the oil fatty acids in the methyl ester form was detected using gas chromatography (GC). For morphological study, nine qualitative and quantitative traits were evaluated. The quantitative ones widely differed among the studied cultivars, and ANOVA test revealed the significant variations (p = 0.00) for all of them. Moreover, the qualitative traits varied among the cultivars. We characterized 11 fatty acid components representing about 99.56 to 100 % of the total oil composition. The principal fatty acids for all the cultivars were: oleic, linoleic and palmitic acids, while their amounts differed among the cultivars. In this regard, unsaturated fatty acids comprised the major oil part, 87.46 to 88.89 %. Oleic acid (53.11-70.99 %) and palmitic acid (9.09 to 10.55 %) were detected as the unsaturated and saturated fatty acids in all the evaluated cultivars. The quality index of oils were determined according to oleic/ linoleic acids ratio, which highly varied among the cultivars. According to UPGMA tree and PCO plot, we divided the investigated cultivars into four chemotypes, and each of them was characterized by the certain oil composition.
Monitoring Traffic Behaviors: Lane Detection and Speed Calculation
Authors: Rasheed Saim
Published: November 2021

In this work, we propose an image processing-based hybrid technique that provides assistance in detecting certain patterns in traffic infractions committed by drivers on the roads. The proposed technique is based on the speed estimation using video data in conjunction with tracking methods. Our hybrid proposal comprises two parts. First, we propose a method to detect the road lanes using Hough transform. Second, we detect the vehicles in the video datasets using Haar Cascade methodology and then track those vehicles for their speed estimation and for monitoring the driving patterns. In addition, the types of infractions that a driver can commit while driving are also detailed. The most significant cases in which the infractions are determined is when the driver makes a rapid and continuous change of lanes, parking at inappropriate places and prohibited U-turns. The results are provided in terms of vehicle detection and speed estimation. Our results and analysis reveal that the proposed method can assist in monitoring the driving patterns and detecting traffic infractions.
The material world of digital fictions
Authors: Janik Justyna
Published: November 2021

This paper explores the interdependency between digital matter and the representational or mimetic layer of the digital game object. The main aim is to foreground the mechanisms by which the representationalelements of the game world emerge from the materiality of the process of play. These mechanisms are examined from the perspective of the ontology of the game object. The issue of digital materiality will be linked with the aesthetical explorations of Tadeusz Kantor, who emphasised the relation between the materiality of the theatre and its fictional elements. As the main example of this analysis, I will focus on Undertale (Toby Fox, 2015) as an example of a game that plays with the boundaries between the fictional world being presented and the elements of digital materiality that are usually hidden from the player’s sight.
Heroine’s journey to love: Spatial rhetoric in romantic subplots in BioWare’s fantasy RPGs
Authors: Bednorz Magdalena
Published: November 2021

This article explores the potential of digital games to encode references encompassing specific cultural ideas of romantic love within their spatial structures, thus helping guide the player’s interpretation of romance as they interact with and move through those spaces. It undertakes an analysis of romantic subplots in BioWare’s fantasy role-playing games, specifically those which reappropriate the courtly love trope, and discusses elements of that remediation which rely heavily on spatial metaphors and structures, including the shared experience of heroic journey, the role of questing for the development of romance, and spatial positioning of lovers on the game map. Through its analysis, the article explores how digital games can employ spatial rhetoric while approaching topics of love, and how they are equipped to represent the materiality and spatiality of love and love narratives.
Imagining the Urban Poland: Revolution and Reconceptualization of Urban Society in the Kingdom of Poland, 1905‒1914
Authors: Śmiechowski Kamil
Published: November 2021

The aim of this article is to analyze how the concept of mieszczaństwo was redefined in Polish political discourse between 1905 and 1914 in conjunction with concepts of intelligentsia and bourgeoisie. My hypothesis is that before the Great War, in a time of powerful social and political revolutions that took place on the streets of Warsaw, Łódź and other cities, new ways of conceptualizing the urban society emerged. I shall discuss the circumstances that led to the forming of the concept of the Polish mieszczaństwo during the debate about the urban self-government in the Kingdom of Poland after the 1905 Revolution. As the city itself became the subject of political competition, and the right to govern the city became a demand of the Polish public opinion. For National Democratic Party it was an excellent occasion to expand anti-Semitic rhetoric and promote the idea of the Polonization of cities as a long-term goal. However, I argue that this rhetoric would not find public response if the intelligentsia itself would not redefined its attitude to other groups of urban dwellers. The mieszczaństwo, which had no political meaning previously, became the main factor of the imagined modernization of Poland. Despite the price of the ethnic conflict it became obvious that Poland had to be urbanized to be modernized.
The Perevodchik-Terjiman Newspaper: A Bilingual Phenomenon of the Muslim Press in Late Imperial Russia
Authors: Tikhonova Nadhezda
Published: November 2021

This case study examines the bilingualism of the prominent Russian Muslim newspaper of the late nineteenth to early twentieth centuries, known as the Perevodchik-Terjiman (literally “Translator” or “Interpreter”) by means of discourse analysis. This newspaper was published from 1883 to 1918 in Crimea, until 1914 by Ismail Gasprinskii (1851‒1914), a prominent enlightener of Russian Muslims. Until December 1905, the newspaper was issued in two languages–Russian and so-called common-Turkic. The latter language was unsuccessfully intended to become a common literary language for Russian Muslims. Despite the declarations, the parallel articles in Russian and Turkic barely presented direct translations from one language to another. On the contrary, there were significant differences. The differences in Russian and Turkic narratives were not markers of opposing intentions or obscure meanings. It is argued here that this feature can be qualified as an instance of cultural bilingualism, which reflected the multiculturalism of the newspaper’s heterogeneous audience.

Os resultados obtidos explicitam a possibilidade de um cenário que tenta mitigar tais custos e, ao mesmo tempo, elevar os investimentos na segurança, além de entender a periodicidade de sua implementação. Sendo assim, alguns dados foram levantados para se calcular até que ponto é relevante realizar a lavagem dos compressores, objetivando manter e incrementar a vida útil dos motores de aeronaves, sem comprometimento de sua funcionalidade.
Mapping the Microstructure and Striae of the Human Olfactory Tract with Diffusion MRI
Authors: Echevarria-Cooper Shiloh L. , Zhou Guangyu , Zelano Christina , Pestilli Franco , Parrish Todd B. , Kahnt Thorsten
Published: November 2021

The human sense of smell plays an important role in appetite and food intake, detecting environmental threats, social interactions, and memory processing. However, little is known about the neural circuity supporting its function. The olfactory tracts project from the olfactory bulb along the base of the frontal cortex, branching into several striae to meet diverse cortical regions. Historically, using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) to reconstruct the human olfactory tracts has been prevented by susceptibility and motion artifacts. Here, we used a dMRI method with readout segmentation of long variable echo-trains (RESOLVE) to minimize image distortions and characterize the human olfactory tractsin vivo. We collected high-resolution dMRI data from 25 healthy human participants (12 male and 13 female) and performed probabilistic tractography using constrained spherical deconvolution (CSD). At the individual subject level, we identified the lateral, medial, and intermediate striae with their respective cortical connections to the piriform cortex and amygdala (AMY), olfactory tubercle (OT), and anterior olfactory nucleus (AON). We combined individual results across subjects to create a normalized, probabilistic atlas of the olfactory tracts. We then investigated the relationship between olfactory perceptual scores and measures of white matter integrity, including mean diffusivity (MD). Importantly, we found that olfactory tract MD negatively correlated with odor discrimination performance. In summary, our results provide a detailed characterization of the connectivity of the human olfactory tracts and demonstrate an association between their structural integrity and olfactory perceptual function.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThis study provides the first detailedin vivodescription of the cortical connectivity of the three olfactory tract striae in the human brain, using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). Additionally, we show that tract microstructure correlates with performance on an odor discrimination task, suggesting a link between the structural integrity of the olfactory tracts and odor perception. Lastly, we generated a normalized probabilistic atlas of the olfactory tracts that may be used in future research to study its integrity in health and disease.

The chalcogenides LaxTbyErzPbSi2S8 were obtained by synthesizing the elementary components in vacuum quartz containers at 1320 K. The synthesized alloys were homogenized by annealing at 770 K during 500 hours. The cell parameters of synthesized sulfides are: a = 0,89576(3) nm, c = 2,65646(8) nm – La1,2Tb0,4Er0,4PbSi2S8; a = 0,89209(1) nm, c = 2,63466(5) nm – La0,9Tb0,2Er0,9PbSi2S8; a = 0,89002(3) nm, c = 2,62714(7) nm – La0,67Tb0,67Er0,67PbSi2S8; a = 0,88993(1) nm, c = 2,62973(4) nm – La0,6Tb1,2Er0,2PbSi2S8; a = 0,885161(7) nm, c = 2,60445(3) nm – La0,2Tb0,9Er0,9PbSi2S8 respectively. The atoms of statistical mixture (La,Tb,Er,Pb) occupy the site 18e (x y 1/4), and  the atoms of Si occupy the site 12c (1/3 2/3 z) in the structure of the obtained chalcogenides. Coordinating polyhedra of atoms of the statistical mixture (La, Tb, Er, Pb) are trigonal prism with two additional atoms (CN = 8), and the atoms of Si occupying the crystallographic point system 12c describes with the tetrahedron. According to the results of the experiment, the synthesized chalcogenides crystallize in the structure type of La2PbSi2S8 (hR26,167). The structure of La2PbSi2S8 is described by using the theory of second anion coordination (SAC).

El reenfoque en la selección de proveedores basado en la gestión de cadena de abastecimiento verde en empresa textil colombiana
Authors: Ocampo Pablo C. , Prada O. Ricardo
Published: November 2021

La estrategia logística debe estar de la mano de un plan estratégico corporativo, el cual es de vital importancia para el desarrollo de la competitividad empresarial (Velásquez, 2003). Pero más allá de la logística, en la actualidad se está hablando de la cadena de abastecimiento, la gestión adecuada de cadena de abastecimiento la cual implica retos permanentes para las empresas debido a la globalización, es decir, la construcción de sinergias entre diferentes unidades de negocio y empresas, teniendo en cuenta que la logística es el trabajo para poner el inventario dentro de la red de valor y la cadena de suministro es la colaboración entre empresas que persiguen un mismo fin y posicionamiento estratégico común (Bowersox, Closs, & Cooper, 2007). Cada vez es más claro que si las cadenas de abastecimiento no se vuelven más sostenibles que lo que han sido en el pasado, los recursos del mundo y el medio ambiente no podrán mantener este nivel de crecimiento (Chopra & Meindl, 2013, p. 501). Con este artículo se pretende hacer una revisión del proceso de selección y evaluación de proveedores en una empresa del sector textil en Bogotá, con el cual se pretende contribuir a un reenfoque de la mejora del proceso actual, por medio de una propuesta de inclusión de criterios medioambientales basados en la investigación de diferentes autores especializados en gestión de cadena de abastecimiento verde.

This paper reports the effect of core diameter of optical fiber cables on stimulated Brillouin scattering loss, which is one of the major loss characteristics of an optical fiber communication system. Analysis of this loss characteristic at three windows of the operating wavelength of a laser has been carried out through a numerical approach. Among different types of optical fiber cables, multi-mode step index silica fiber, multi-mode graded index silica fiber and plastic fibers have been considered for the numerical analysis. The numerical analysis has been performed using MATLAB in this research work. Through the comparative analysis, it has been ascertained that the Brillouin scattering loss is not only affected by the operating wavelength, but also by the core diameter of the different type of the cable. From the investigation of the comparative analysis, it is revealed that Brillouin scattering loss declines with the application of multi-mode graded index silica fiber. However, in the plastic fiber category, plastic step index fiber offers better performance.
Luther’s Participative Ontology
Authors: Kampen Dieter
Published: November 2021

Distinguishing between a relational and participative ontology and highlighting the last like a paradigm of our time, the author shows how Luther uses both types of ontology for the explication of justification and how both express the same concept in different ways. The participative paradigm explains justification through the union between Christ and the believer and the following communicatio idiomatum. The author underlines that this is not a personal union, but that Christ and the believer become one body and that this union doesn’t change human nature but giving a person a new direction. The article closes with some ecumenical considerations of the participative ­ontology.
Christ’s Real Presence in the Eucharist and Relational Ontology
Authors: Vainio Olli-Pekka
Published: November 2021

This paper argues for an interpretation of the real of presence of Christ in the Eucharist using relational ontology as the basic metaphysical theory. Relational ontology, in its one form, denies the existence of intrinsic properties so that things that exists are just instantiations of particular sets of properties that receive their essence from their relation to other things. If there are good reasons to accept relational ontology, it could potentially help one to solve certain problems in transubstantiation model, without giving up the idea of real presence.
Using the Community of Inquiry framework to analyze emojis as an emerging language in an online educational experience via WhatsApp
Authors: L. Reeves Jennifer , A. Gunter Glenda , Braga Junia , Racilan Marcos
Published: November 2021

With the ever-growing interest in WhatsApp as a social space to accommodate pedagogical initiatives, the role of emojis as an emergent Internet language in this social space needs to be better understood as mobile technologies have been integrated in education. With that in mind, this paper reports a study that employed an embedded correlational mixed methods design, and aimed to identify: the emojis used to support cognitive, teaching, and social presences in a teacher education course via WhatsApp; participants’ attitudes regarding the use of emojis, and their age and gender relation to this use. The data generated from the interactions of the teachers via WhatsApp were analyzed and discussed based on Garrison et al.’s (1999) Community of Inquiry Model. This conceptual framework identifies crucial elements for successful online educational experiences and assumes learning occurs through the interaction of three core elements: social, cognitive and teaching presences.

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a relação entre deficiência intelectual e classe, raça e gênero. Para tanto, utilizamos dados do censo demográfico brasileiro (IBGE, 2010), organizados em três categorias: a) pessoas sem deficiência; b) pessoas com outras deficiências; e c) pessoas com deficiência intelectual. O resultado mais expressivo apontou que existe uma estreita relação entre os níveis de renda e a proximidade que as curvas das três categorias apresentam. Quanto maior o nível de renda, mais próximas são as curvas, demonstrando o quão decisivo é o impacto da raça e do gênero nas condições de vida das pessoas com deficiência intelectual.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) are the first choice vascular access for hemodialysis. However, they present a high incidence of venous stenosis leading to thrombosis. Although training in interventional nephrology may improve accessibility for treatment of venous stenosis, there is limited data on the safety and efficacy of this approach performed by trained nephrologists in low-income and developing countries. Methods: This study presents the retrospective results of AVF angioplasties performed by trained nephrologists in a Brazilian outpatient interventional nephrology center. The primary outcome was technical success rate (completion of the procedure with angioplasty of all stenoses) and secondary outcomes were complication rates and overall AVF patency. Findings: Two hundred fifty-six angioplasties were performed in 160 AVF. The technical success rate was 88.77% and the main cause of technical failure was venous occlusion (10%). The incidence of complications was 13.67%, with only one patient needing hospitalization and four accesses lost due to the presence of hematomas and/or thrombosis. Grade 1 hematomas were the most frequent complication (8.2%). The overall patency found was 88.2 and 80.9% at 180 and 360 days after the procedure, respectively. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that AVF angioplasty performed by trained nephrologists has acceptable success rates and patency, with a low incidence of major complications as well as a low need for hospitalization.
Analysis of the Impact of Randomization of Search-Control Parameters in Monte-Carlo Tree Search

Published: November 2021

Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) has been applied successfully in many domains, including games. However, its performance is not uniform on all domains, and it also depends on how parameters that control the search are set. Parameter values that are optimal for a task might be sub-optimal for another. In a domain that tackles many games with different characteristics, like general game playing (GGP), selecting appropriate parameter settings is not a trivial task. Games are unknown to the player, thus, finding optimal parameters for a given game in advance is not feasible. Previous work has looked into tuning parameter values online, while the game is being played, showing some promising results. This tuning approach looks for optimal parameter values, balancing exploitation of values that performed well so far in the search and exploration of less sampled values. Continuously changing parameter values while performing the search, combined also with exploration of multiple values, introduces some randomization in the process. In addition, previous research indicates that adding randomization to certain components of MCTS might increase the diversification of the search and improve the performance. Therefore, this article investigates the effect of randomly selecting values for MCTS search-control parameters online among predefined sets of reasonable values. For the GGP domain, this article evaluates four different online parameter randomization strategies by comparing them with other methods to set parameter values: online parameter tuning, offline parameter tuning and sub-optimal parameter choices. Results on a set of 14 heterogeneous abstract games show that randomizing parameter values before each simulation has a positive effect on the search in some of the tested games, with respect to using fixed offline-tuned parameters. Moreover, results show a clear distinction between games for which online parameter tuning works best and games for which online randomization works best. In addition, the overall performance of online parameter randomization is closer to the one of online parameter turning than the one of sub-optimal parameter values, showing that online randomization is a reasonable parameter selection strategy. When analyzing the structure of the search trees generated by agents that use the different parameters selection strategies, it is clear that randomization causes MCTS to become more explorative, which is helpful for alignment games that present many winning paths in their trees. Online parameter tuning, instead, seems more suitable for games that present narrow winning paths and many losing paths.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN TRADEMARK FUNCTIONALITY IN THE UNITED STATES

The United States Trademark Act makes unenforceable marks that are “functional.” However, it does not define functionality. Because the Supreme Court decisions on functionality are few in number and ambiguous in meaning, the courts have differed sharply in their approaches to functionality, and their approach is constantly changing.
