“Stiff Business Headwinds and Uncharted Economic Waters”: The Use of Euphemisms in Earnings Conference Calls
Authors: Suslava Kate
Published: January 2021

This paper studies whether euphemisms obfuscate the content of earnings conference calls and cause investors to underreact. I argue that managers’ use of euphemisms can alleviate the impact of bad news and delay the market reaction to adverse information. Using a dictionary of corporate euphemisms, I find that their use by managers—but not by analysts—is negatively associated with both immediate and future abnormal returns, and their frequency moderates the negative market reaction to bad earnings news. Finally, stock underreaction is more pronounced on busy earnings announcement dates, when investor attention is distracted.

The Biomimetic Restorative Approach
Authors: Shah Deepa N
Published: January 2021

Significant changes in prosthodontic considerations, with a movement away from traditional restorations and an emphasis on preservation of tooth structure, have led to the development of the concept of biomimetics in restorative dentistry. The idea of being able to design restorations, which are able to restore accurately the biomechanical, structural and aesthetic integrity of the biomechanically weakened tooth, has been embraced and adopted by clinicians globally. By combining key prosthodontic principles relating to occlusal design and the control of forces on teeth and restorations, together with minimally invasive adhesive dentistry, we are able to predictably restore the function and aesthetics of damaged dentitions without the need for aggressive tooth structure removal. Advances in dental materials science allowing minimal preparations and restorations that are strong and durable in thin section, as well as advances in adhesive dentistry have meant that the biomimetic restoration of teeth is no longer a novel concept, but something that we should all be applying as conservative and restorative dentists.

CPD/Clinical Relevance: This paper describes the rationale and clinical protocols involved in the application of biomimetic restorative dentistry.
Cariology: Why is the 2018 Soft Drinks Levy Important to Dentistry?
Authors: Parr Alice MG
Published: January 2021

The link between sugar and caries is a well-established relationship and the efforts to reduce patient sugar intake is part of daily practice for a holistic clinician. Sugar taxation has been employed by many countries in an attempt to deal with the worldwide concern of non-communicable diseases. Taxation of sugar in the UK could increase its revenue, reduce sugar intake and affect caries incidence; considering how the sugar levy could shape the way caries is managed important.

Clinical Relevance: Review of modelling studies and actual change experienced in countries where tax has been implemented highlight what could happen in the UK and the impact this could have on dentistry and why this is important in daily practice.

Base Cutting Energy Consumption for Sugarcane Stools Using Contra-Rotating Basecutters
Authors: Wang Fenglei , Ma Shaochun , Xing Haonan , Bai Jing , Ma Jinzhi , Yang Yezhen , Hu Jiwei
Published: January 2021

Highlights

This study focused on the base cutting energy consumption for sugarcane stools instead of single stalks, thus being more consistent with actual field harvesting.

The energy consumption increased with increasing rotational speed (RS) and stool diameter (SD), while it decreased with increasing tilt angle (TA) and feed rate (FR).

Each pair of levels of each factor was compared using Duncan’s multiple range test. Three factors (RS, SD, and FR) had significant effects on energy consumption at 95% confidence level, while one factor (TA) had no significant effect.

The order of influence and the optimal combination of the four factors to minimize the energy consumed during base cutting were determined.

Abstract. Previous studies on contra-rotating basecutter designs based on supported cutting have mainly focused on the base cutting energy consumption for single sugarcane stalks instead of sugarcane stools. However, in the actual base cutting process, a basecutter typically cuts multiple sugarcane stalks (in one sugarcane stool) simultaneously. Therefore, this study investigated how the rotational speed (RS) and tilt angle (TA) of the cutting discs, the sugarcane stool diameter (SD), and the feed rate (FR) affected the energy consumed when cutting cane stools using a contra-rotating cutting platform. Four single-factor experiments and an orthogonal experiment were performed using a Taguchi orthogonal experimental design, and each group was replicated five times. The results of the single-factor experiments showed that the energy consumption was proportional to RS and SD, while it was negatively correlated with TA and FR. The significance of the difference between each pair of levels of each factor was investigated using Duncan’s multiple range test. According to the results of the orthogonal experiment, RS, SD, and FR had significant influences on the base cutting energy consumption at the 95% confidence level; however, TA had no significant influence. The order of influence of the four factors was SD > FR > RS > TA (18.45 > 18.39 > 12.91 > 9.06), and the optimal factor-level combination for minimizing the cutting energy was RS2, TA4, SD1, and FR3 (200 rpm disc RS, 20° disc TA, 60 mm SD, and 1.0 m s-1 FR). An understanding of the relationships between energy consumption and its influencing factors can serve as a valuable reference for researchers seeking to optimize the design of contra-rotating basecutters, which could lead to increased energy efficiency and a reduction in energy consumption during sugarcane harvesting. Keywords: Contra-rotating basecutter, Energy consumption, Orthogonal experiment, Single-factor experiment, Sugarcane stools, Supported cutting.
Intercomparison of Bias-Correction Data Sources and Their Influence on Watershed-Specific Downscaling Climate Projections
Authors: Sheshukov Aleksey Y. , Gao Jungang , Douglas-Mankin Kyle R. , Yen Haw
Published: January 2021

Highlights

Bias correction from three historical data sources (NCDC, PRISM, and NEXRAD) were assessed.

Bias correction removed watershed-average bias in general circulation model (GCM) data for a historical period.

Subbasin-specific variability was detected in future projections for each bias-correction data source.

Data source had less impact on uncertainty in future projections than GCM or a representative concentration pathway.

Uncertainty from bias-correction data sources was higher for precipitation than for temperature.

Abstract. Climate projections developed by general circulation models (GCM) are often used in watershed modeling applications to project future hydrologic changes. In many models, the climate projections are downscaled to individual map units represented by grid cells or subbasins. Uncertainty of downscaled climate projections are a product of uncertainties arising mainly from the model itself, from the representative concentration pathway (RCP), and from the downscaling procedure. Other sources of uncertainty may include the historical observations used for GCM bias correction and data aggregation from GCM grids to map (often subbasin) units. This study evaluated effects of three sources of historical data (ground-based weather station network, NCDC, and two gridded datasets, NEXRAD and PRISM) on historical variability, and shifts and uncertainty in precipitation and temperature projections. Climate projections from six GCMs and three RCPs were evaluated in 54 subbasins of the Smoky Hill River watershed in the U.S. Central Great Plains. Bias correction of GCM projections reduced bias of watershed-average annual precipitation in the historical period to near zero, but subbasin-specific variability remained in future projections with little difference among bias-correction data sources. For minimum and maximum temperatures, the GCM ensemble statistics for basin-average and subbasin-specific future projections were similar for all bias-correction data sources. Increase in RCP forcing was found to widen the uncertainty in future projections. Overall, the uncertainty due to data source selection was smaller than the uncertainty due to GCM model and RCP forcing selection. The results demonstrate that statistical downscaling is essential to account for local climate factors within a watershed, and that both weather station-based and gridded bias-correction data sources can be used effectively, but that future climate projections may inherit the historical bias in a selected data source. These inherent uncertainties associated with application of GCMs in hydrological and geospatial modeling should be carefully considered for understanding climate projections when building watershed models and interpreting the results. Keywords: Bias correction, Climate change, Downscaling, GCM, Uncertainty, Watershed.

In Morocco, Raphanus sativus is a widespread traditional medicinal plant used to treat various kidney diseases such as nephropathy.

Objective: The present study aims to evaluate the protective effect of the R. sativus aqueous extract against the gentamicin-induced acute nephrotoxicity in rats.

Methods: Rats were randomly separated into four groups (n=6; ♂/ ♀=1). The control group was treated only with distilled water (10 mL/kg; p.o). The gentamicin group was treated with distilled water (10 mL/kg; p.o) and injected intraperitoneally by the gentamicin (80 mg/kg; i.p). R. sativus groups were treated with the aqueous extracts of this plant at a dose of (200 or 400 mg/kg; p.o) and injected by the gentamicin (80 mg/kg; i.p). The plasma Creatinine, Urea, Uric Acid, Albumin, Total Protein, Alanine transaminase, Aspartate transaminase, and Calcium levels were measured. The urinary creatinine, urinary Calcium, urinary volume, water intake, creatinine clearance, body weight gain, relative right kidney weight, and kidney malondialdehydes were determined.

Results: This study showed that the daily pretreatment with R. sativus aqueous extract at two doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o prevented the rats from the gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity. Moreover, the R. sativus aqueous extract showed a high amount of polyphenols and flavonoids and a significant antioxidant activity.

Conclusion: R. sativus aqueous extract, as a novel natural product, may have preventive properties against gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. The present study describes new areas of investigation to introduce better therapeutic agents for renal disorders and dysfunction.
Friendly-rivalry solution to the iterated n-person public-goods game
Authors: Murase Yohsuke , Baek Seung Ki
Published: January 2021

Repeated interaction promotes cooperation among rational individuals under the shadow of future, but it is hard to maintain cooperation when a large number of error-prone individuals are involved. One way to construct a cooperative Nash equilibrium is to find a ‘friendly-rivalry’ strategy, which aims at full cooperation but never allows the co-players to be better off. Recently it has been shown that for the iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma in the presence of error, a friendly rival can be designed with the following five rules: Cooperate if everyone did, accept punishment for your own mistake, punish defection, recover cooperation if you find a chance, and defect in all the other circumstances. In this work, we construct such a friendly-rivalry strategy for the iteratedn-person public-goods game by generalizing those five rules. The resulting strategy makes a decision with referring to the previousm= 2n− 1 rounds. A friendly-rivalry strategy forn= 2 inherently has evolutionary robustness in the sense that no mutant strategy has higher fixation probability in this population than that of a neutral mutant. Our evolutionary simulation indeed shows excellent performance of the proposed strategy in a broad range of environmental conditions whenn= 2 and 3.

The spike (S) protein of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) binds to a host cell receptor which facilitates viral entry. A polybasic motif detected at the cleavage site of the S protein has been shown to broaden the cell tropism and transmissibility of the virus. Here we examine the properties of SARS-CoV-2 variants with mutations at the S protein cleavage site that undergo inefficient proteolytic cleavage. Virus variants with S gene mutations generated smaller plaques and exhibited a more limited range of cell tropism compared to the wild-type strain. These alterations were shown to result from their inability to utilize the entry pathway involving direct fusion mediated by the host type II transmembrane serine protease, TMPRSS2. Notably, viruses with S gene mutations emerged rapidly and became the dominant SARS-CoV-2 variants in TMPRSS2-deficient cells including Vero cells. Our study demonstrated that the S protein polybasic cleavage motif is a critical factor underlying SARS-CoV-2 entry and cell tropism. As such, researchers should be alert to the possibility of de novo S gene mutations emerging in tissue-culture propagated virus strains.
La mujer-bandera como imagen de la nación: el caso cubano
Authors: Mazorra Ruiz Danislady
Published: January 2021

El sentimiento nacionalista cubano, según el consenso historiográfico, se consolida a inicios del siglo XIX, época en que se asientan los valores patrios que a finales del siglo XVIII comenzaron a emerger. El impulso patriótico surgido en los albores decimonónicos y forjado en las campañas independentistas determinó la génesis de un imaginario simbólico para la nación. La élite criolla vuelve los ojos al pasado insular en busca de rasgos autóctonos al mismo tiempo que se apropia de la tradición euro-occidental; con ello ambicionaba incorporarse a la red de naciones independientes, civilizadas y republicanas del orden político mundial. Los discursos nacionalistas y fundacionales de la Isla se definen, pues, de este modo. En este contexto surge uno de los “mitos” historiográficos más interesantes del imaginario independentista cubano: la abanderada. Este trabajo, pues, presenta algunos apuntes sobre cómo se desarrolló el proceso de mitificación que ligó el papel de las mujeres cubanas en las guerras de independencia del siglo XIX con el símbolo nacional de la bandera.

El objetivo de este ensayo es destacar, en una visión panorámica, la responsabilidad de unas mujeres de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX –escritoras, periodistas, pedagogas, y, en general, mujeres con inquietudes sociales e intelectuales– en la modernización de la mujer española, ejerciendo un didactismo insistente desde sus ensayos, artículos periodísticos, conferencias, alocuciones radiofónicas y en sus ficciones literarias, consiguiendo la «invención » de la mujer moderna, antes incluso de que esa mujer se normalizase en la realidad española de la época.
Emilia Pardo Bazán, una intelectual moderna, también de la Edad de Plata
Authors: Thion Soriano-Mollá Dolores
Published: January 2021

El concepto de Edad de Plata requiere ser revisado para que se ajuste al proceso de transformación social femenino que se inició con la Revolución de 1868 y culminó en 1939. El uso restringido al siglo XX que se viene haciendo en el campo literario responde a esquemas y ritmos masculinos que excluyen a mujeres como Emilia Pardo Bazán. Desde una perspectiva microhistórica, observaremos cómo las estrategias de la escritora, como intelectual moderna, son testimonio de las vicisitudes que encontraron las mujeres para salir de los paradigmas tradicionales y conquistar un espacio propio entre las élites culturales y artísticas
«Anhelo la libertad de salir sola: ir, venir, sentarme…». La flâneuse entre dos siglos: del XIX a la mujer moderna en la Edad de Plata española
Authors: Broullón-Lozano Manuel Antonio
Published: January 2021

Pasear es una actividad del cuerpo y de la mirada que implica ocupar el espacio público; hacerse ver y observar. Si hay un prototipo literario de paseante, ese es el flâneur. No pocas voces se han preguntado si, en consecuencia, existe una flâneuse, y cuáles son sus características y condiciones. En este trabajo pretendemos explorar a través de un ejercicio de comparatismo literario, la relación entre la mujer moderna y la flâneuse entre dos siglos (XIX y XX), con tal de comprender cómo las mujeres paseantes que se convierten durante la Edad de Plata de la Literatura Española en el sujeto de enunciación del texto lírico pueden plantear o bien una transformación o bien una disidencia tanto de los modelos de género como de visualidad en el seno de la vida moderna.
Para una historia de las asociaciones femeninas en España. La Asociación Nacional de Mujeres Españolas y la Unión de las Mujeres de España: similitudes y discordancias (1918-1921)
Authors: Aguilera Sastre Juan
Published: January 2021

Este artículo ofrece una aportación a la historia de las asociaciones femeninas en España, aún por escribir. Partiendo de abundante documentación y de un análisis riguroso de los datos, propone una nueva valoración de los inicios de dos asociaciones sufragistas fundamentales del siglo XX: la Asociación Nacional de Mujeres Españolas (ANME) y la Unión de las Mujeres de España (UME). Se analizan y comparan sus programas, sus actuaciones y propuestas, su composición y la orientación de sus dirigentes. Asociaciones plurales y heterogéneas, su ideario y sus actividades no mostraban grandes diferencias, a pesar de la hostilidad que se profesaron. Su lucha por la hegemonía en el feminismo español y por la representatividad ante las organizaciones internacionales no puede explicarse por una cuestionable adscripción ideológica a la derecha, el centro o la izquierda. Como expresión del feminismo liberal, sus caminos discurren paralelos, con más puntos de coincidencia que de divergencia.
Chicas modernas y de barrio. La modernidad femenina alternativa de las jóvenes de clases populares urbanas en el periodo de entreguerras
Authors: De Pedro Álvarez Cristina , Pallol Trigueros Rubén
Published: January 2021

Este trabajo reformula el marco interpretativo mayoritariamente empleado en los estudios históricos sobre la mujer moderna, redefiniendo dicha categoría y mostrando la pluralidad de significados e interpretaciones históricas que alberga. Como ejemplo alternativo al canon establecido de mujer moderna se propone el de chica o muchacha moderna, una figura reconocida globalmente en el periodo de entreguerras como agente de modernidad cuya ruptura con la tradición se afirmaba en terrenos distintos a los de las mujeres modernas: su presencia en el espacio público, su disfrute del ocio y la vida nocturna y su afirmación de una sexualidad transgresora y desinhibida. Como caso de estudio se ofrece el de las jóvenes de clases populares urbanas en el Madrid de entreguerras, analizado a través de las fuentes judiciales para mostrar sus conductas y actitudes en el terreno de la sexualidad y las relaciones entre géneros, así como sus lugares y pautas específicos de sociabilidad.
Indicios y espacios literarios para la reconstrucción del círculo sáfico madrileño en las obras de Elena Fortún, Rosa Chacel y Victorina Durán
Authors: Moreno-Lago Eva
Published: January 2021

Este trabajo pretende analizar varios escritos de carácter autobiográfico que dan algunas pistas e indicios para reconstruir las experiencias sáficas durante las décadas de los años veinte y treinta (hasta 1936) en España: Así es de Victorina Durán (manuscrito, 1970-1980 aprox.), Acrópolis de Rosa Chacel (1984) y Oculto sendero de Elena Fortún (2016). Estos textos principales se apoyarán en otros de las mismas autoras –y/o contemporáneas– para poder completar la visión de espacios y experiencias. Se utilizará un doble método de análisis ginocrítico y geocrítico para indagar en los lugares transitados por estas mujeres, así como para analizar la estructura y la asiduidad de sus encuentros y reuniones. Reconstruir los espacios físicos e íntimos lésbicos es el desafío delineado por una mirada geocrítica que ambiciona ofrecer más datos sobre estos otros grupos, pensamientos y sexualidades disidentes, de «otras» tertulias culturales y literarias tan poco estudiadas hasta el momento.
Orígenes del arte feminista español: de 1960 a 1970

Con el objetivo de exponer los orígenes del arte feminista en España, contextualizando la situación de las artistas de los años sesenta y setenta marcadas por los roles de género y el sometimiento heteropatriarcal sostenidos por el tardofranquismo y la transición, sin dejar de analizar la permeabilidad de dicha temática en el desarrollo de los discursos expositivos desde los sesenta hasta la actualidad, planteo un análisis comparativo entre el arte feminista español y el americano. Articulo el relato en torno a las temáticas de mayor relevancia, visibilizando la denuncia de la discriminación femenina y la crítica a la hegemonía del sistema cultural patriarcal ejercida por las artistas feministas de la época. Construyo el núcleo informativo sirviéndome de una metodología biográfica, sociológica, iconográfica y de barrido bibliográfico con el fin de revisar la historiografía desde el género como categoría de análisis y esclarecer el papel de las mujeres en el arte.
Effects of tissue-specific biomolecules on piglets after-weaning period
Authors: Vasilevskaya Ekaterina Romanovna , Fedulova Liliya Vyacheslavovna , Chernukha Irina Mikhailovna , Kotenkova Elena Alexandrovna , Fokina Angelina Igorevna
Published: January 2021

Background and Aim: Now-a-days antibiotics are the main tool for correcting the pathological conditions of pigs; unfortunately, antibiotics are a potential threat to the environment, as they lead to the spread of antibiotic-resistant infections. This study aimed to study the immunomodulatory encapsulated biomolecules on piglets in the post-weaning period.

Materials and Methods: An immunomodulator based on biomolecules obtained from animal raw materials included in alginate capsules to improve absorption has been developed. The study presents the results of a study on 25 weaned piglets (25-30 days old) which received biomolecules at a dose of 200 mg/piglet for 14 days, followed by 400 mg/piglet from days 15 to 28. Blood was taken from animals for analysis (biochemical, hematological, cytometric, and enzyme immunoassay) and the integral index of blood serum antimicrobial activity was determined.

Results: Experimental animals, whose initial weight was 1.6 times less than that of the control animals, were able to bridge this gap and, on the 28th day, there were no differences in weight. Stimulation of the production of cytokines interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-4 was observed and the antimicrobial resistance of blood serum to Escherichia coli also increased. A positive effect on the metabolism of piglets was noted, which helped them adapt to a change in diet (from colostrum to solid food).

Conclusion: The results show that the immunomodulation at the dose of 150 mg/kg body weight has a great potential for improving weaned pigs.
A magyar hallgatók vállalkozásindító szándékát befolyásoló tényezők modellje - Ajzen tervezett magatartás elméletének kiterjesztése (Model of the Hungarian students’ business start-up intention influencing factors – Extending of Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior)

A vállalkozási tevékenység a munkahelyteremtés és a gazdasági növekedés egyik döntő tényezője. Ennek a jövőbeli kedvező alakulását a fiatalok mai attitűdjei határozzák meg. Ha be tudjuk azonosítani a legfontosabb tényezőket, amelyek a fiatalok vállalkozásindítási szándékát befolyásolják, el tudjuk dönteni azt is, mely területen lehet és érdemes beavatkozni annak érdekében, hogy minél több új, életképes vállalkozás szülessen. A cikk a GUESSS kutatási projekt magyarországi adatbázisának köszönhetően közel 6000 hallgató válaszait elemezve rendszerezi a felsőoktatásban résztvevők vállalkozásindítási szándékára ható legfontosabb tényezőcsoportokat. Első lépésben Ajzen tervezett magatartás elméletének alkalmazásával vizsgálja a vállalkozásindítási szándék alakítóit, majd további tényezők, így a felsőoktatási intézmények által nyújtott szolgáltatások, a családi háttér és a demográfiai jellemzők bevonásával igyekszik minél pontosabban leírni a szándék alakulását. _____ Entrepreneurial activity is a decisive factor in the dynamics of job creation and economic growth. The future level of this activity highly depends on the attitudes of today’s youth towards this. If the most important factors influencing attitudes are identified and the entrepreneurial intentions towards entrepreneurship are determined, the fields of intervention targeting the creation of as many new and viable enterprises as possible can be defined. This article aims to systematise the most important factor groups that influence the decisions of students studying in higher education in terms of start-up activities and is based on the Hungarian database of the GUESSS research project, containing almost 6000 respondents. Firstly, it tests Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior. Then such factors as supportive services provided by higher education institutions, family background and demographic factors are analysed in order to improve the explanatory power of the model.

Published: January 2021

A tanulmány az egyetemi hallgatók, mint a jövő potenciális tudásintenzív vállalkozóinak sajátosságát hivatott vizsgálni, empirikus úton. A kutatás feltáró jellegű, hiszen igen keveset tudni általában az egyetemi hallgatók, és különösen a Szegedi Tudományegyetem egyetemi hallgatóinak vállalatalapítási motivációról, aktivitásáról és az egyetem ezzel kapcsolatos szerepéről. A vizsgálatok két fő cél köré összpontosulnak: a Szegedi Tudományegyetem nappali tagozatos hallgatóinak vállalatalapítási aktivitását feltárni, valamint a vállalatindításhoz szükséges ismereteket feltérképezni. A tanulmány első részében a szerzők a kérdőíves megkérdezés eredményeit ismertetik, mely keretében 840 főt kérdeztek meg a hallgatói vállalkozásalapítási aktivitás feltárása érdekében. Ezt követően húsz, már hallgató korában vállalkozást alapító személlyel történő mélyinterjúk eredményeit mutatják be, különös tekintettel arra, milyen specialitásokkal bírnak azon vállalkozók, akik már hallgatóként belevágtak egy vállalkozás elindításába. _______ Present paper provides an empirical analysis of the characteristics of university students as potential knowledgeintensive entrepreneurs of the future. The authors’ research is explorative since the knowledge of university students and especially of the students of the University of Szeged is scarce with regard to their entrepreneurial motivations, activities and the influence of the university. The authors set two fundamental objectives: first, to explore the entrepreneurial activities of the full-time students of the University of Szeged; and second, to map the knowledge necessary for starting a business. In the first part of the paper they demonstrate the results of an empirical survey based on 840 questionnaires that aimed at the exploration of students’ entrepreneurial activities.

Published: January 2021

Purpose: This study aimed to predict a heavy nodal burden (≥3 metastatic axillary lymph nodes [LNs]) using axillary ultrasonography (US) and US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in patients with early-stage breast cancer.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 403 women (404 cancers) who underwent US-guided FNAB for axillary LN staging from January 2006 to December 2015. US findings and US-guided FNAB results were reviewed and compared using pathology results as the reference. Diagnostic performance was analyzed, and clinicopathological and radiological findings were compared between patients with <3 metastatic LNs and ≥3 metastatic LNs.Results: The final pathology results revealed that 20.5% of cancers had heavy nodal metastases. US-guided FNAB showed significantly higher sensitivity (79.0% vs. 63.0%, P=0.009) and specificity (84.8% vs. 79.3%, P=0.036) in predicting heavy nodal metastases than did US. The presence of a larger number of suspicious LNs (two or more) on axillary US and positive FNAB results were significantly correlated with a heavy nodal burden in the multivariate analysis. The odds ratios were 4.20 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.90 to 9.39) for two suspicious LNs, 9.40 (95% CI, 2.99 to 29.54) for three or more suspicious LNs, and 14.22 (95% CI, 6.78 to 29.82) for positive FNAB results.Conclusion: The number of suspicious LNs detected on axillary US and FNAB results can help predict a heavy axillary nodal burden in patients with early-stage breast cancer.

Base fluids like water, ethylene glycolandengineoilare conventionally used as a heat transfer medium. The performance of heat transferred is improved in the conventional fluids with the addition of Nano particles. Hence, this paper considers the forced conventional flow problem over the base fluid within a uniform heated tube placed on a wall. The analysis of heattransferco-efficientis done through a constant Reynoldsnumberfor both Nano and base fluid with a simulation tool. Further, a comparative analysis is carried out with heat transfer coefficient over the base and various Nano fluids. It is seen that the Nano fluids has a better performance due to its better thermal characteristics under standard conditions.

This paper mainly investigates the inhibitory effect and mechanism of vanillin on mixed-culture biofilm formation, and discusses the feasibility of controlling membrane fouling with vanillin. The biofilms were cultured under static conditions and a microfluidic chamber, respectively. The results show that vanillin can effectively inhibit the microbial adhesion and biofilm formation; the inhibition rate increases with the vanillin concentration. After 12h treatment with 300mg/L vanillin, the inhibition rate of biofilm formation reached 85.34%. Besides, vanillin can mitigate bacterial adhesion by reducing the microbial secretion of exoprotein and exopolysaccharide, exhibit an inhibitory effect on the expression of N-acyl-l-homoserine lactones (AHLs), but had no effect on environmental deoxyribonucleic acid (eDNA). After being treated with 300mg/L vanillin, exoprotein, exopolysaccharide and AHLs decreased by 28.48%, 17.23% and 46.64%, respectively. Furthermore, there is a positive correlation between the AHLs and the content of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs); the AHLs-mediated quorum sensing (QS) might be related to microbial adhesion through the regulation of EPS. Finally, vanillin has a great potential in membrane fouling control. The research findings provide a good reference for biofilm control in water purification and wastewater treatment systems.

La investigación que se describe a continuación refiere la aplicación del modelo de práctica re-flexiva mediada con docentes de inglés en el Instituto Pierre Faure y el Principito en la ciudad de Morelia (Michoacán), en México. Su propósito fue verificar la viabilidad de uso de este modelo por docentes de inglés de educación infantil y primaria a partir de su capacitación en el uso del mismo, así como analizar la reflexión de los participantes y los cambios realizados tanto a nivel perceptual como en su práctica pedagógica. La práctica reflexiva medidada se entiende como un proceso de reflexión sistemático sobre la praxis del docente con el apoyo de un mediador siguien-do 3 fases: conocimiento, significación y resignificación. La metodología se apoyó en las teorías socio-críticas como es la práctica reflexiva, siendo un estudio de caso único de carácter cualitativo. Los resultados indican que el modelo es aplicable en los niveles educativos mencionados, y pro-mueven la reflexión de los docentes para resolver las problemáticas del aula. Se concluye que la actitud del docente, aunada al acompañamiento del mediador, son factores fundamentales para lograr el desarrollo de este tipo de práctica.

Citizen, the land and the country together so the researcher considered stop to search the facts related to the process of communication and those messages addressed to the general public through the press institutions lead us to reach the results in a scientific description and accurate analysis of the subject by which the researcher means As long as one of the scientific methods used in communication research based on the method of content analysis and questionnaire in the form of fieldwork in order to obtain the desired results. One of the most important results obtained by the researcher is the need for a unified press letter applied in all media institutions in order to preserve the safety of citizens and the security of the country, for it is observed that the Kurdish media do not adopt a unified view concerning national issues, in this case, the news on the Western Kurdistan. This approach to national issues should be eliminated and the Kurdish media should adopt a uniform media discourse in addressing such issues in order to crate a sense of national settlement and security.
"The Bard and ‘the Other’: A Post-colonial Re-reading of Sir Thomas More, The Merchant of Venice and The Tempest"
Authors: Kahrić Damir , Muhić Nađa
Published: January 2021

The purpose of this article is to shed light on the representation of ‘the Other’ in three Shakespearean dramas: Sir Thomas More, The Merchant of Venice and The Tempest. The article describes several Shakespearean characters through the prism of post-colonialism and, therefore, the paper is structured as the postcolonial re-reading of the aforementioned dramatic texts. William Shakespeare portrayed the sad fate of immigrants in Sir Thomas More, but the Bard also tackled the refugee issue which remains relevant for the contemporary period. Additionally, Shakespeare dramatized the position of the Jewish community in Venice through the portrayal of Shylock. The re-reading of The Tempest focuses on the process of colonisation and the Manichaean division within the conquered world. In conclusion, the article portrays experiences of those dramatic individuals stigmatised and subjugated by the colonial forces, thus allowing the readers to better understand the binary division within colonial systems.
"Colonizing the Mind: A Dialectic Approach to Education and Language in Zitkala-Ša’s American Indian Stories"
Authors: Ahmetspahić Adisa
Published: January 2021

Mind colonization has been a burning issue in the last few decades in the fields of science and humanities. It is argued that mind colonization of the indigenous populations has been conducted via education and language in the mission of ‘civilizing’ since education and language carry culture specific sets of meaning, including knowledge and truth which condition our perception of the world. Zitkala-Ša is one of the earliest Native American authors and activists who sought to subvert the epistemological hierarchy imposed through mind colonization. Zitkala-Ša’s autobiographical collection of short stories titled American Indian Stories (1921) documents her boarding school experience and the acquisition of the colonizer’s education and language. The present paper seeks to address mind colonization through language and education on the example of Zitkala-Ša’s American Indian Stories relying on a number of theories and approaches. The paper also reflects on the importance of Zitkala-Ša mastery of the colonizer’s language

Today, women political participation is still low in number. It causes the shortness of women representation in policy and decision making. In fact, the representation of women has not been heard fully in the public space. Many women's voices have not been conveyed. This article examined woman’s political participation and communication in the political area in Indonesia. The main problems of this research were why the participation of women in politics in formal institutions relatively low and how the communication role in that matter. This research used descriptive qualitative method by interviewing 18 women politicians in legislative on June 26th until July 4th online. The research findings show the lack of women participation as the representative. The low representation of women in direct political participation was influenced by various internal and external factors. They included women’s unwillingness to plunge directly into the world of practical politics, patriarchy cultural factors, and incapability of women to solve lots of real-problems. It is why we still need the right step to create equality and access to women in the political scope.

A critical (and interdisciplinary) survey of popular music genre theories
Authors: Merlini Mattia
Published: January 2021

Genres are among the most discussed topics in popular music studies. The attempt to explain issues as complex and layered as how musical genres are born, how they work and what they ontologically are cannot avoid opening a box full of theoretical problems, questions and tools that need to be understood and used in order to say something significant on genre today. Despite the long story of this theoretical debate (roots of which can be traced back to ancient Greece) and the variety of disciplines involved (e.g. literature, music and film studies, but also philosophy, sociology, cultural studies and semiotics), it is difficult to find survey papers that can give an overview of such a rich research environment. This paper attempts to fill that void by trying to systematize the main (contemporary) perspectives on musical genre, in particular non-essentialist theories coming from the overlapping fields of musicology and sociology. Most importantly, its overview stresses the necessity of an interdisciplinary study of musical genre, which – as an exemplum of extraordinarily layered phenomenon of the human production of culture – intertwines technical, social, discursive, commercial, historical and other elements, thus requiring an approach capable of accounting for as much of its many layers of meaning as possible.
Musemes in affect. Philip Tagg’s model of music analysis
Authors: Zielonka Stefania
Published: January 2021

The paper is an attempt to synthesize the most important aspects of a model of popular and film music analysis proposed by British musicologist Philip Tagg. Tagg, using the category of musemes – universal meaning units, isolated from the musical structure of the composition on the basis of criteria established for every given case – examines selected pieces using multi-level semiotic analysis. In his model Tagg takes into account both the importance of the broadly understood cultural context and the intertextuality of the piece. He also emphasizes the role of affect in musical communication, which is necessary to fully understand the meaning of a musical work.
Publiczne prezentowanie zdjęć martwych płodów jako wybryk zakłócenia spokoju i porządku publicznego bądź wywołania zgorszenia (art. 51 § 1 Kodeksu wykroczeń)
Authors: Kulesza Jan
Published: January 2021

Celem artykułu jest wykazanie możliwości i trafności kwalifikowania z art. 51 § 1 Kodeksu wykroczeń zachowań działaczy pro-life rozmieszczających w przestrzeni publicznej zdjęcia martwych ludzkich płodów. W tym celu posłużono się wykładnią językową, historyczną, historyczną celowościową, prawnoporównawczą oraz systemową. Wykazano, że prezentowanie na ulicach, placach, parkingach, billboardach barwnych, nieraz wielkoformatowych zdjęć zakrwawionych (czasem rozczłonkowanych) ludzkich płodów narusza spokój publiczny, wywołuje zgorszenie, a nawet może zakłócać porządek publiczny. Zachowanie działaczy pro-life realizuje również znamię wybryku. We wskazanych przestrzeniach publicznych nie jest w Polsce przyjęte, nie jest zgodne ze zwyczajami i zwykłymi normami ludzkiego współżycia narzucanie odbioru zdjęć zakrwawionych, porozrywanych ludzkich zwłok. Dla pociągnięcia do odpowiedzialności wystarczająca jest umyślność zachowania działaczy pro-life w stosunku do podejmowanych działań. Natomiast opisane w art. 51 § 1 k.w. skutki nie muszą być objęte umyślnością, wystarczy, że osoby te przewidują albo chociaż mogły przewidzieć, że ich akcje zakłócą spokój lub porządek publiczny albo wywołają zgorszenie. Dla zastosowania art. 51 § 1 k.w. wystarczy również stwierdzenie zakłócenia spokoju lub porządku publicznego albo wywołanie zgorszenia po stronie choćby jednej osoby.
