Published: September 2020

Conflict in Rakhine Myanmar involving local majority ethnic minorities has seized the world's attention. Mainstream media generally preach this conflict as a racial conflict dilator dilakangi by history, politics and trust. However, when further examined under the Environmental Governance study, the conflict is also not separated from the natural resource management dispute which is suspected to start from the state policy to open the door of foreign investment. Included in Libraryan Reaserch, this study uses research methods that refer to library research, which is data collection based on written sources of scientific journals, mainstream media, books and other scientific sources. In addition, this research uses descriptive data analysis method. In writing this scientific paper the authors use the Environmental Governance approach focused on the study of Environmental Justice to analyze data that is not numerical. In explaining the factors causing the Rakhine and Rohingya ethnic conflicts in Myanmar in 2012, the authors use John Rawls about Justice, that justice is needed when ther is cracuty “Scarcity of material”. The results show that Rohingya and Rakhine ethnic conflicts can not be separated from the problem of environmental injustice. the factors causing the conflict are seen from the structural factors of the state policy on the investment of natural resources by foreign and ethnic geography, by conducting space politics "Place and Space politics", the government issued a policy of citizenship in the Citizenship Act which ultimately makes the state seem to have no legitimacy in granting civil rights to the Rohingyas. in the form of political discrimination, political elites controlled by the military junta with the omission and provocation by utilizing racial and religious sentiment with the aim of modernizing Rakhine Province with the existence of the Shwe gas exploration project. In addition, a massive exodus of the Rohingyas from Rakhine emerged, until the last armed movement called Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) emerged as a response of ethnic spirits as a crisis response.

OBJECTIVE

To determine whether previous corrective upper airway surgery in brachycephalic dogs would decrease perianesthetic complications in subsequent anesthetic events.

ANIMALS

45 client-owned dogs.

PROCEDURES

Brachycephalic dogs undergoing any combination of staphylectomy, nasal alaplasty, or laryngeal sacculectomy that were anesthetized at a later date for additional surgical procedures or imaging from August 2, 2007, to February 8, 2019, had their medical records reviewed during both anesthetic events for signalment, American Society of Anesthesiologists status, perianesthetic drug administration, anesthetic duration, presence and total time of positive-pressure ventilation, procedure invasiveness, and perianesthetic complications such as bradycardia, hypothermia, hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension, vomiting or regurgitation, dysphoria, respiratory distress, hypoxemia, reintubation, and prolonged periods of recovery.

RESULTS

The odds of having complications during the postanesthetic period following subsequent anesthetic events were decreased by 79% in dogs having previous surgical intervention to correct clinical signs of brachycephalic airway syndrome. Intra-anesthetic bradycardia increased the odds of developing a postanesthetic complication by 4.56 times. Every 15-minute increase in anesthetic duration increased the odds of having a postanesthetic complication by 12% and having an intra-anesthetic complication by 11%.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Previous corrective upper airway surgery decreased odds of postanesthetic complications in brachycephalic dogs that underwent subsequent anesthetic events. Findings in this study indicated that corrective upper airway surgery for brachycephalic dogs may reduce postanesthetic complications following subsequent anesthetic events, which may reduce perianesthetic morbidity in patients undergoing multiple surgical or diagnostic imaging procedures.
Surgical arthrodesis for treatment of chronic shoulder joint luxation in a Vietnamese potbellied pig
Authors: Dubois Marie-Soleil
Published: September 2020

CASE DESCRIPTION

A 4-year-old 55.0-kg (121-lb) spayed female Vietnamese potbellied pig was examined for right forelimb lameness of 2 months’ duration that had not resolved following rest and treatment with meloxicam.

CLINICAL FINDINGS

The only abnormality identified during physical examination was non–weight-bearing lameness of the right forelimb. Radiographic and CT examinations revealed that the right humerus was displaced laterally and slightly cranial to the glenoid cavity of the scapula with moderate evidence of osteoarthritis. Chronic craniolateral luxation of the right humeral (shoulder) joint was diagnosed.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME

Arthrodesis of the right shoulder joint was performed surgically by a lateral approach. The humeral head was replaced in the glenoid cavity. The joint was immobilized at a 115° angle with two 3.5-mm string-of-pearls orthopedic plates and a 4.5-mm cortical bone screw placed across the joint in lag fashion. The pig recovered from surgery without any complications. At 6 weeks and 5 months after surgery, the pig had the expected mechanical lameness of the right forelimb owing to immobilization of the shoulder joint and radiographic evidence of progressive arthrodesis of that joint. The pig had resumed its usual activities and had only mechanical lameness present 1 year after surgery.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

This report described successful treatment of chronic shoulder joint luxation in an adult Vietnamese potbellied pig by surgical arthrodesis of the affected joint. The described procedure might also be useful for treatment of other debilitating conditions of the shoulder joint, such as severe osteoarthritis or intra-articular fractures, in pigs.
KONSEP PERBAIKAN KERUSAKAN LINGKUNGAN BERDASARKAN FALSAFAH SAINS FRITJOF CAPRA
Authors: Habaora Fellyanus
Published: September 2020

Fritjof Capra memperkenalkan visi baru dalam melihat realitas (new version of reality) melalui penemuan kebenaran holistik ekologi yang linier in nature dengan landasan ontologi holistik pluralis-spiritualistik-organism dan landasan epistemologis sintesis, dialog interaktif, dan kesetaraan subjek. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, Capra menjelaskan bahwa keseimbangan antara sains dan teknologi yang dibatasi oleh nilai moral dan agama akan menciptakan keberlanjutan ekologi dengan sendirinya sebagai akibat cara pandang manusia yang kapitalis, materialistik, dan hedonisme mengesampingkan spiritualisme hanya sebagai pseudo sains. Hal ini menyebabkan world view Capra muncul di berbagai bidang sebagai kebijaksanaan alam (wisdom of nature) yang digambarkan sebagai kemampuan ekosistem-ekosistem ekologis planet bumi mengorganisir dirinya sendiri melalui cara-cara yang kompleks. Hal tersebut tampak dalam cara pandang Capra, a science for sustainbale living yang menjelaskan bahwa ilmu pengetahuan untuk keberlanjutan kehidupan tidak perlu menciptakan masyarakat manusia berkelanjutan dari nol, tetapi bisa meniru ekosistem-ekosistem alam yang merupakan komunitas tumbuhan, hewan dan mikroorganisme yang berkelanjutan. Kondisi ini menjelaskan bahwa ketika ada keseimbangan diantara pemanfaatan sains dan teknologi yang dibatasi aspek nurani dan agama (Yang) maka dengan sendirinya keberlanjutan terjadi. Tetapi disebabkan adanya cara pandang berbeda yang semakin meningkatkan kerusakan lingkungan seperti climate change, maka Capra menawarkan konsep ecoliteracy yang menjamin secara kokoh keberlanjutan kehidupan bersama di planet bumi, yaitu: jaringan-jaringan, siklus-siklus, energi matahari, kemitraan, keanekaragaman, dan keseimbangan dinamis. Oleh karena itu, Capra menawarkan solusi untuk penyelesaian climate change adalah ekoliteracy yang ia sebut merebak ke berbagai bidang ilmu karena akan berkembang menjadi ekodesain. Kelompok yang diharapkan untuk mengerti ekoliterasi dalam menghadapi perubahan lingkungan (climate change) adalah kaum politikus, pimpinan bisnis, para profesional di semua lapisan, dan lembaga-lembaga pendidikan. Kelompok ini menurut Capra adalah kelompok-kelompok pengambil kebijakan publik atau kelembagaan dan pemberi masukan terpercaya yang memiliki kemampuan riil dalam menciptakan dampak-dampak kemasyarakatan jauh ke depan.

Lithostratigraphy of the Mesoproterozoic Yas-Schuitdrift Batholith, South Africa and Namibia
Authors: Groenewald C.A. , Macey P.H.
Published: September 2020

The granitic and leucogranitic Yas and Schuitdrift Gneisses occur together as a large ovoid pre-tectonic batholith that crosses the Orange River border between South Africa and Namibia. They occur in the central parts of the Kakamas Domain in the Namaqua Sector of the Namaqua-Natal Metamorphic Province where they intrude, and are deformed together with, slightly older (~1.21 Ga) orthogneisses and granulite-facies metapelitic gneisses. The Yas Gneiss occurs mainly on the outer perimeter and northern parts of the batholith and comprises equigranular leucogranite gneiss and biotite granite augen orthogneiss, whereas the Schuitdrift biotite-hornblende augen gneiss is located at the centre and southern parts of the batholith. The batholith is strongly deformed with penetrative Namaqua-aged gneissic fabrics defined by grain-flattening of quartz and feldspar in the equigranular leucogneisses and aligned K-feldspar megacrysts in the augen gneisses. The gneissic fabric is refolded during a large-scale folding event that results in the dome-shape of the batholith and controls the present outcrop pattern of its various components. Flexure along the margins of the batholith refoliated the gneisses into a zone of mylonitic rocks. The Yas and Schuitdrift Gneisses have similar geochemistry and classify as alkali granites and alkali leucogranites. They are felsic (mean SiO2: 74.5 wt%) and potassic (mean K2O: 5.8 wt%) but have low MgO, CaO and Na2O, reflecting their low mafic mineral and plagioclase contents. The Schuitdrift Gneiss yielded U-Pb zircon ages of 1 191 ± 7 and 1 187 ± 6 Ma.

A Transferable Psychological Evaluation of Virtual Reality Applied to Safety Training in Chemical Manufacturing
Authors: Poyade Mathieu , Eaglesham Claire , Trench Jordan , Reid Marc
Published: September 2020

High-profile accidents in the Chemical sector – across research and manufacturing scales – have provided strong drivers to develop a new benchmark in safety training and compliance. Herein, we describe the design, implementation, and standardised psychological evaluation of Virtual Reality (VR) applied to process safety training. Through a specific industrial case study, we show that testable learning of complex safety-specific tasks in VR is statistically equivalent to traditional slide-based video training. However, VR training presents a measurable positive improvement on trainees’ perception of overall learning, and their feeling of presence in the task during training. It has also been shown that knowledge retention from video lectures can be overestimated, if not controlled. Through these results – and our transferable blueprint for robustly assessing any new VR training platform – we envisage a range of technologically-enabled efforts to enhance safety performance in both laboratory and plant-based activities. Implications for physical resource-saving projects are also described.
Visible-Light Triggered Templated Ligation on Surface Using Furan-Modified PNAs
Authors: Manicardi Alex , Cadoni Enrico , Madder Annemieke
Published: September 2020

Oligonucleotide-templated reactions are frequently exploited for target detection in biosensors and for the construction of DNA-based materials and probes in nanotechnology. Translation of the specifically used template chemistry from solution to surfaces, with the final aim of achieving highly selective high-throughput systems, has been difficult to reach and poorly explored. Here, we show the first example of a visible light-triggered templated ligation on a surface, employing furan-modified peptide nucleic acids (PNAs). Tailored photo-oxidation of the pro-reactive furan moiety is ensured by the simultaneous introduction of a weak photosensitizer as well as a nucleophilic moiety in the reacting PNA strand. This allows a localized production of singlet oxygen for furan activation, which is not affected by probe dilution or reducing conditions. White light irradiation in combination with recognition of a short 22mer oligo sequence that functions as a template, allows sensitive detection of nucleic acid targets in a 96 well plate format.
Electron-Passing Neural Networks for Atomic Charge Prediction in Systems with Arbitrary Molecular Charge
Authors: Metcalf Derek , Jiang Andy , Spronk Steven , Cheney Daniel , sherrill c. david
Published: September 2020

Atomic charges are critical quantities in molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics, but obtaining these quantities requires heuristic choices based on atom-typing or relatively expensive quantum mechanical methods to generate a density to be partitioned. Most machine learning efforts in this domain ignore total molecular charges, relying on overfitting and arbitrary rescaling in order to match the total system charge. Here we introduce the electron-passing neural network (EPNN), a fast, accurate neural network atomic charge partitioning model that conserves total molecular charge by construction. EPNNs predict atomic charges very similar to those obtained by partitioning quantum mechanical densities, but at such a small fraction of the cost that they can be easily computed for large biomolecules. Charges from this method may be used directly for molecular mechanics, as features for cheminformatics, or as input to any neural network potential.

Solitary Effect of vernalization and GA3 was significant on the parameters such as plant height, number of leaves plant-1, the highest number of flowering stalk, number of umbels plant-1, number of bud umbel-1, percent flowering at 45 and 60 DAP, number of seeds umbel-1, weight of seeds umbel- 1, weight of seeds plant-1, weight of seeds plot-1, 1000 seed weight, seed yield, number of fruits umbel-1, percent of fruit set umbel-1and percent germination. The highest seed yield (248.16 kg ha-1) was obtained from vernalization at 5°C for 14 days. The lowest values of all the parameters were recorded at control treatment. The highest seed yield (191.77 kgha-1) was obtained from 100 ppm GA3. The lowest values of all the parameters were recorded in the 0 ppm GA3 treatment. Use of suitable vernalization of mother bulb and proper concentration of gibberellic acid can be a possible way to expand onion production at the time of summer.

Hybrid plays an important role in production and productivity increment of maize in potential pockets of middle hills. With an objective of identifying potential hybrids for middle hill environments, coordinated varietal trials on maize hybrids were conducted using randomized complete block design with three replications in various hill stations during summer of 2014/15 and 2015/16. During 2014/015, significant differences were recorded among the genotypes at Khumaltar and Pakhribas, where non-significant at Kabre for grain yield. Combined results of hill stations for grain yield revealed highly significant differences for genotypes, environments and, genotype by environment interactions indicating existence of variability among the tested genotypes at each site except at Kabre, and site specific nature of the tested hybrids was recorded. JM-8 produced the highest grain yield of 8356 kg ha-1 followed by RL-153/RL-105 (8006 kg ha-1), RML-95/RL-105 (7940 kg ha-1) and Khumal Hybrid-2 (7788 kg ha-1), respectively. In 2015/16, among the experimented hybrids highly significant grain yield differences were observed at Pakhribas and Khumaltar, and significant at Dailekh. Combined results over locations showed that RML-95/RL-197 (7365 kg ha-1) outyielded others and followed by RML-95/RL-105 (7010 kg ha-1), RML -151/RL-111 (6717 kg ha-1) and RML -87/RL-105 (6580 kg ha-1). Hybrids having higher grain yield in coordinated varietal trials will be promoted to Coordinated Farmers’ Field Trial on Hybrid and these hybrids might be the potential hybrids in future for potential pockets of middle hills of Nepal.
Predicting gene regulatory networks from cell atlases
Authors: Møller Andreas Fønss , Natarajan Kedar Nath
Published: September 2020

Recent single-cell RNA-sequencing atlases have surveyed and identified major cell types across different mouse tissues. Here, we computationally reconstruct gene regulatory networks from three major mouse cell atlases to capture functional regulators critical for cell identity, while accounting for a variety of technical differences, including sampled tissues, sequencing depth, and author assigned cell type labels. Extracting the regulatory crosstalk from mouse atlases, we identify and distinguish global regulons active in multiple cell types from specialised cell type–specific regulons. We demonstrate that regulon activities accurately distinguish individual cell types, despite differences between individual atlases. We generate an integrated network that further uncovers regulon modules with coordinated activities critical for cell types, and validate modules using available experimental data. Inferring regulatory networks during myeloid differentiation from wild-type and Irf8 KO cells, we uncover functional contribution of Irf8 regulon activity and composition towards monocyte lineage. Our analysis provides an avenue to further extract and integrate the regulatory crosstalk from single-cell expression data.

Objetivo. Describir las características epidemiológicas, fenotípicas y genéticas de aislamientos clínicos portadores de optrA identificados en la vigilancia de resistencia antimicrobiana por el laboratorio del Instituto Nacional de Salud de Colombia.

Métodos. Entre octubre de 2014 y febrero 2019, se recibieron 25 aislamientos de Enterococcus spp. resistentes al linezolid. La identificación y sensibilidad antimicrobiana se determinó con Vitek 2 y la concentración inhibitoria mínima (CIM) al linezolid se estableció con E-test. El gen optrA se detectó mediante PCR. La diversidad genética de aislamientos positivos para optrA se analizó con Diversilab®. Se seleccionaron seis aislamientos para llevar a cabo la secuenciación del genoma completo.

Resultados. Se confirmó el gen optrA en 23/25 aislamientos de E. faecalis de siete departamentos de Colombia. Los aislamientos presentaron una CIM al linezolid entre 8 y >256µg/mL. La tipificación por Diversilab® indicó una amplia variabilidad genética. Todos los aislamientos analizados mediante secuenciación del genoma completo, presentaron genes de resistencia fexA, ermB, lsaA, tet(M), tet(L) y dfrG además de optrA y fueron negativos para otros mecanismos de resistencia al linezolid. Se identificaron tres secuencias tipos y tres variantes de optrA: ST16 (optrA-2), ST476 (optrA-5) y ST618 (optrA-6). El entorno genético de los aislamientos optrA-2 (ST16) presentó el segmento impB, fex, optrA, asociado a plásmido, mientras que en dos aislamientos (optrA-6 y optrA-5) se encontró el elemento cromosómico transferible Tn6674-like.

Conclusión. Los aislamientos clínicos positivos para optrA presentan una alta diversidad genética, con diferentes clones y variantes de optrA relacionados con dos tipos de estructuras y diferentes elementos genéticos móviles.
A statistical evaluation of the origin of cypress domes in Florida
Authors: Raines Eron
Published: September 2020

© 2020 Elsevier B.V. Two competing explanations exist for the origin of one type of karstic landform found in Florida called the cypress dome. One explanation relies on complex ecological feedbacks stemming from nutrient cycling suggesting biota contribute more significantly to processes of landscape evolution in Florida than anywhere else in the world. The second explanation is that the landforms are sinkholes that completely preclude the biological explanation while fitting more parsimoniously with the surrounding geological narrative. This work puts forward geostatistical analyses and a model linking the landforms to sinkholes, thus bolstering the geological explanation for origin of the landform. Satellite imagery of sinkholes occurring in limestone from locations spanning the planet was analyzed. Measurements of globally distributed limestone sinkhole surface areas are best characterized by an exponential distribution indicating sinkhole formation is robust to starting conditions (i.e., climate, tectonics). This observation is supported by an analysis of sinkhole geometry and geospatial dispersion. This demonstrates the geospatial parameters space for globally distributed groups of sinkholes forming in limestone are statistically indistinguishable despite sinkhole formation in different climates, tectonic regimes, and at different times. Employing this observation as a tool, sinkholes are directly compared to the cypress domes in Florida and are found to be statistically indistinguishable. From the striking similarity in spatial parameter spaces in conjunction with the geologic history of the area, it is interpreted that these landforms originate through geologic, not biologic, processes.
Narratología semiótica: la cuestión del "punto de vista"
Authors: Nadal José María
Published: September 2020

El artículo defiende una Narratología General ―válida para cualquier sustancia y forma de expresión y para cualquier género o tipo de discurso, artístico o no― integrada en una Teoría Semiótica General para guardar el criterio científico de coherencia, generar cada uno de los componentes de la teoría y del objeto analizado desde los demás, etc. El autor separa el ámbito de la enunciación del de la discursivización; y las instancias de la enunciación, de las de la discursivización y de las de la enunciación implícita. Las primeras no existen en el enunciado; las segundas pueden explicitarse en él; las terceras, nunca, y sin embargo, existen en él.

En contra de lo sostenido por la mayoría de los investigadores, el artículo afirma que hay morfemas de expresión "visual" ―motivada (no arbitraria) de perspectiva artificialis bidimensional― especializados en los papeles de los sujetos discursivizadores. En la expresión "visual", en contra de la práctica habitual, el autor opone el discursivizador "visual" ―o perspectivador o plastificador o imageur o "narrador visual", situado en el Origen de la Perspectiva― al apreciador ―el "focalizador", el responsable del "punto de vista", el que asume como responsable lo predicado (según él, es así), pero no la producción del discurso―.

A partir de tal distinción, el artículo describe de forma original fenómenos tales como los del discurso indirecto y el indirecto libre, los identifica en la expresión "visual" ―fotográfica, cinematográfica― y disocia radicalmcnte la oposición entre discurso no-directo y discurso-directo, de la oposición, diferente, entre discurso no-indirecto e indirecto.
Referencia fantástica y literatura de transgresión
Authors: Rodríguez Pequeño Javier
Published: September 2020

Además de ofrecer una revisión crítica de los diversos planteamientos y formas de abordar la esencia de la literatura fantástica, entre los que destacan los de T. Todorov, R. Caillois, I. Bessière, A. Mª. Barrenechea y R. Campra, este artículo propone una delïnición de lo fantástico basada en criterios semánticos, pues sostiene que, aunque en la literatura fantástica actúan efectivamente factores sintácticos y pragmáticos, lo hacen sobre aspectos semánticos.

En definitiva, afirma que lo fantástico viene determinado por la relación que el referente literario mantiene con la realidad empírica, aunque su autor no olvida que "lo real" es una construcción social e histórica y, por tanto, cambiante, lo que puede propiciar que la consideración de un elemento o de un texto como fantástico varíe con la época. Finalmente ofrece una reflexión sobre la posibilidad de cierto grado de verosimilitud a pesar de la transgresión.
El monólogo dramático: entre la lírica y la ficción
Authors: Sabadell Nieto Juana
Published: September 2020

El monólogo dramático, dadas sus cualidades de género híbrido, obliga a replantearse la problemática de la subjetividad en los poemas líricos, abre la posibilidad de analizar la lírica desde perspectivas narratológicas, fuerza a considerar los diferentes grados de realización dramática en los textos líricos y vuelve a abrir la cuestión de los límites entre los géneros literarios. En este artículo se señalan algunos de los aspectos constitutivos de este artificio literario, que justificarían mayor atención de la que se le ha concedido en la crítica española.
Poesía y oralidad
Authors: Senabre Ricardo
Published: September 2020

El respeto escrupuloso a la integridad de los textos, el perfeccionamiento de las técnicas filológicas para depurarlos y contrarrestar sus alteraciones, no han despertado una preocupación análoga por preservar la forma de recepción que sus autores imaginaron. Durante siglos, la poesía fue concebida y compuesta para ser escuchada ―con música o sin ella―, lo que explica buena parte de sus características formales y de su evolución histórica; sin embargo, hoy la leemos en silencio y pasamos a menudo por alto valores y funciones determinados por la naturaleza oral de las obras. En estas páginas se ofrecen pruebas de la pervivencia de esa oralidad y ejemplos de su influjo en las técnicas compositivas del verso.
