“Children are our pension”: Livelihood diversification, social security, and kinship constraints among East African refugees
Authors: Declich Francesca
Published: June 2024

Stereotypical ideas about poverty and life in refugee camps make it difficult to understand the choices that individual refugees make when moving from one place to another within Africa, including from refugee settlements to town, to refugee camps and vice versa. Certain choices which individual migrants make, and which may appear incomprehensible, respond in fact to a clear logic and represent, as it were, diversified forms of social security. Recent trends in migration theories have emphasised the importance of the positive role of the group of kin in the decision to set out on the migration path, but this article reveals a much more complex dynamic underlying such movements within Africa: a vision of livelihood diversification that goes beyond the stark reality of forced displacement or the opportunity of acquiring refugee status. The article will take into consideration the migratory trajectories of a number of young persons, across the Horn and some eastern African nations, first as forced migrants and later as refugees migrating at will, as observed over a period of years. Over and above the war that initially prompted migration, the movements of these young people result from negotiating the demands of individual agency and the constraints imposed by kinship ideologies.

Great home-spectations: “Houses-to-be”, marginality, and social expectations in Southern Tunisia
Authors: Pontiggia Stefano
Published: June 2024

In the mining town of Redeyef (south-western Tunisia), “modern” homes and building techniques bear the signs of a history of marginalization, inequality, and lack of resources. Here, power produced specific mode of living and territorial organization. The article will describe three different homes: the little studio I lived in between 2014 and 2015 during my fieldwork research, the “mansion” that a young man living in Redeyef had been erecting for himself, and the house a man erected for his son. These examples will help to shed light on the extent to which the colonial past, the political economy of independent Tunisia, and the current lack of any urban planning interweave to create the conditions of a disadvantaged and precarious life, especially for the young men, who build their houses to accomplish social expectations about adulthood. Despite the lack of resources, the people of Redeyef try to make their dwellings the symbol of a (hoped, even though almost impossible) social acceptance.

Il corpo intimo dell’agency
Authors: Beneduce Roberto , Taliani Simona
Published: June 2024

Da alcuni anni l’antropologia e le scienze sociali sono attraversate da un virulento dibattito intorno a concetti come soggettività, modi della soggettivazione, dominio, forme di resistenza ecc. La nostra introduzione intende ripensare alcuni aspetti della cosiddetta Teoria Critica e contribuire a “rigenerare” la nozione estenuata di agency. Allo stesso tempo, la nostra analisi vuole introdurre i quattro lavori del dossier che la rivista Anuac ha consacrato a uno dei panel della conferenza Una teoria per capire, per agire, per impegnarsi. La lezione di Tullio Seppilli, tenutasi a Perugia nel 2018. Il presupposto delle nostre considerazioni è la natura sociale delle forme dello psichismo e dell’esperienza individuale, e un’antropologia medica critica in grado di disarticolare tanto l’uso neoliberale di termini come “scelta”, “trasformazione”, “opportunità”, quanto la retorica del tardo capitalismo, al cui interno la nozione di agency sembra spesso tradurre solo l’arte della sopravvivenza, la violenza dell’adattamento o le nuove espressioni dell’assoggettamento.

Graeber sull’anarchia
Authors: Boni Stefano
Published: June 2024

Il testo presenta tre riflessioni di Graeber sull’anarchia, frutto di una prospettiva antropologica: le premesse di una organizzazione anarchica individuabili nell’egualitarismo, nella presenza di spazi interstiziali e nella creatività interculturale; l’assemblea come tecnica decisionale a potere diffuso; infine, la decolonizzazione dell’anarchia dalla sua presunta matrice europea.

House and home: Reconsidering the anatomy of houses in Western societies
Authors: Cieraad Irene
Published: June 2024

The article develops a critical and transversal reading of the special issue. Each contribution inspired the author to seek for a mirror image or an analogy in Western societies and test the mentioned Carsten and Hugh-Jones observation of the seemingly self-evident relation between house and the self. Rosalie Stolz’ contribution on the changing communities of sounds in northern Laos changed the author’s perspective on the background of the popularity of camping in the West. Jonathan Alderman’s contribution on the bloody libation rituals performed in the patio of rural houses in Andean Bolivia made her realize that there is a heightened sensitivity in the West towards blood, and more in particular visible blood spatters, be it animal or human blood. From this consideration, the article presents some reflections on the relation between house and blood. The cultural dead-lock between home-ownership and manhood in southern Tunisia, as described by Pontiggia, points to a general relation between the material home and the male self.

What do we watch when we watch? Limits of visualism in the definition of authenticity in the anthropological tourism experience
Authors: Martini Anna
Published: June 2024

In this paper I investigate the way by which the anthropology of the senses and perceptions affects tourist’s experience. By utilizing the concept of authenticity and the way it is outlined by its existential value (Wang 1999), or as process of authentication (Van de Port 2004; Cohen & Cohen 2012), my aim is to show how it is negotiated and mediated with, amongst other, through the senses. In the specific field of tourism, although anthropology nowadays strives to regain more room to analyse the other senses, the one most linked to the tourist’s experience is sight. It is considered in this context as a set of gazes that the tourist imposes or is subjected to in his relationship with the Other, employing the camera as a medium that, as Sontag and Barthes affirm, is a weapon by which the gaze is limited, oriented and negotiated.
Globalization in Mexico: Integrating postmodernity into Tlaxcalan traditionalism
Authors: Carro Bautista Judith Esther , García Zamudio José Fernando
Published: June 2024

Globalization promotes dynamic expansion in postmodern culture, thus new axiological parameters. The advent of globalization to Tlaxcala, traditionalist society hyper-identitary, takes it by surprise and causes some changes for which it was not prepared; impacts its fundamental structures: political, social, communicative, religious and causes cracks in the interactions, for example, in families forged from vintage times. Whole picture can be presented as changes in the classic schemes construction of subjectivities, status, roles, values, motivations, are being corrupted, new types appear, from the techno-hermit locked in the walls of a bedroom connected to the communicational gadgetry, to virtual hypersocial passing day ever palpated connected beings. And all this while, in the same house, adults try to stanch old links.

The Strategic Logic of Coercive Burden-Sharing
Authors: Blankenship Brian D.
Published: June 2024

This chapter elaborates on alliance control theory, explaining the conditions under which the United States is willing and able to persuade its allies to increase their burden-sharing contributions. It argues that in asymmetric alliances there is a tension between control and cost-sharing, which the United States manages by using a mix of reassurance and threats of abandonment. It also highlights the alliance control theory, which is the theory of coercive burden-sharing in asymmetric alliances. The chapter presents the theory's empirically testable hypotheses, compares them to those of alternative explanations, and describes the empirical approach taken to test the theory. It details the theory's assumptions and causal logic, elaborating on both the burden-sharing dilemma and the policy levers patrons can use to manage it.
“They Live at Our Sufferance”
Authors: Blankenship Brian D.
Published: June 2024

This chapter discusses South Korea, which existed under the shadow of the threat of attack and is one of the only US allies in East Asia that shared a land border with the Communist bloc. The United States regarded South Korea as a bulwark against further Communist expansion. Washington left 60,000 US forces in South Korea to deter North Korean attacks after signing the Mutual Defense Treaty in 1953 and negotiating a cease-fire in the Korean War. The chapter highlights how the United States–South Korea alliance was defined by the vulnerability of the Republic of Korea as it faced very high levels of US burden-sharing pressure. By the mid-1970s, South Korea's own military spending accounted for almost all of its on defense outlays.
What Is the Commander-in-Chief Test and Why Does It Matter?
Authors: Friedman Jeffrey A.
Published: June 2024

This chapter introduces the key concepts surrounding the commander-in-chief test in correlation to how the politics of image-making affected US foreign policy. It examines foreign policy competence with respect to the attributes of strong leadership and good judgment. Militarized foreign policies are useful ways to convey leadership strength because they are easy to frame in terms of standing up to the United States' adversaries or remaining vigilant in the face of foreign threats. The chapter explains how evaluability bias can shape the politics of image-making in foreign policy. It also considers why Americans are consistently frustrated by the cost and scope of their country's global role.
Personal Images, Policy Preferences, and Presidential Voting
Authors: Friedman Jeffrey A.
Published: June 2024

This chapter examines the interplay between personal images and policy preferences in correlation with presidential voting. Voters prioritize selecting leaders who seem competent over leaders who share their views on foreign policy issues. According to data from American National Election Studies (ANES), citizens' foreign policy preferences explain less variation in presidential vote choice than their perceptions of presidential candidates' leadership strength. The chapter also looks into the ANES database of open-ended questions, which allows voters to describe how they view presidential candidates' strengths and weaknesses. It then presents original survey data of the 2020 presidential campaign wherein voters were more than twice as likely to defend their judgments based on their perceptions of Donald Trump and Joe Biden's traits rather than invoking those candidates' stances on foreign policy issues.
Peace through Strength
Authors: Friedman Jeffrey A.
Published: June 2024

This chapter provides an overview of the politics of defense spending. It particularly focuses on how presidential candidates in the 1960, 1980, and 1984 elections viewed debates about military spending as tools in the politics of image-making. Particularly, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan used hawkish positions on defense spending to craft impressions of leadership strength. Both candidates advocated military buildups to boost impressions of their leadership strength in a manner that did not also expose themselves to criticism for possessing poor judgment. The chapter argues that public opinion shaped the politics of defense spending, even if this relationship is not as straightforward as leaders giving voters the policies they want.
Transnational Peasant and Farmer Movements and Networks
Authors: Edelman Marc
Published: June 2024

This chapter begins by examining early and mid-twentieth-century attempts to link agriculturalists' organizations in different countries. It looks at the Associated Country Women of the World, Agricultural Missions, and the International Federation of Agricultural Producers. The chapter then analyzes how the farm crisis, market openings, and regional integration projects of the 1980s galvanized new movements and cross-border linkages among farmers in Latin America, North America, Europe, and India. This “globalization from below” allowed agriculturalists' organizations to develop common agendas and more creative protest repertoires as well as to have tangible impacts in areas as diverse as trade policy and human rights advocacy. However, the major obstacle facing the peasant and small farmer networks continues to be the sheer force of ongoing worldwide economic liberalization and ever-greater corporate power. The regional and global free-trade pacts targeted by the peasant and farmer networks—such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, the World Trade Organization, and the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas—generally aim to legislate the behavior of national governments but only secondarily that of corporations.

A POSTMODERNIST READING OF ORHAN PAMUK’S BLACK BOOK AND MY NAME IS RED
Authors: Aybay Erdem
Published: June 2024

The present study analyzes traces of postmodernism in Orhan Pamuk’s two novels: Black Book (1990) and My Name is Red (1998). As the theoretical framework, postmodernism which can be considered new to Turkish Literature, is a concept that the Western canon has been familiar with for a relatively long time. The movement had a significant spread after the Second World War and is now in our lives with countless examples in different fields. There are several reasons for this movement to appear differently in each country or culture. These reasons generally stem from political and social developments. When analyzing this movement in the Turkish context, the analysis of Orhan Pamuk’s works shows traces of postmodernist elements. While looking for an answer to how postmodernism emerged in Turkish culture, the comprehensive history of postmodernism with its emergence in politics and evolution in literature can help to understand how postmodernism manifests itself in Turkish literature. To find traces of postmodernism in
Turkish literary works, Orhan Pamuk’s two books are analyzed to bring an approach to postmodernism in Turkish fiction.

LİSELERİN YİYECEK İÇECEK HİZMETLERİ BÖLÜMÜNDE GIDA İSRAFI EĞİTİMİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
Authors: Geçgin Erol
Published: June 2024

Gıda israfı, sosyal, çevresel ve ekonomik sonuçlarıyla dünya genelinde ciddi bir sorun olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Geleceğin yiyecek ve içecek işletmelerinde çalışacak olan şeflerin Mesleki ve Teknik Liselerin Yiyecek İçecek Hizmetleri bölümlerindeki öğrencileri olacağı düşünülerek gıda israfını azaltma ve kaynakları koruma konusunda bilinçli olmaları gerekmektedir. Bu doğrultuda, çalışmanın temel amacı, söz konusu bölümlerdeki gıda israfı eğitiminin durumunu belirlemektir. Bu kapsamda öncelikle Millî Eğitim Bakanlığının Yiyecek İçecek Hizmetleri bölümü çerçeve programından faydalanılarak müfredat incelenmiştir. Daha
sonrasında öğrencilerle görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemleri kullanılmış olup, öğrencilerin gıda israfı konusundaki görüşleri yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme teknikleriyle değerlendirilmiştir. Görüşme formu kullanılarak 7 farklı bölgeden toplam 14 Yiyecek İçecek Hizmetleri öğrencisiyle yapılan görüşmelerde, öğrencilerin gıda israfını tanımlamaları, israf duyguları, mutfak eğitiminde israf konusundaki görüşleri, israfı önlemeye yönelik kullandıkları yöntemler ve çözüm önerileri
incelenmiştir. Doküman incelemesi sonucunda müfredatın gıda israfı ve gıda kurtarma konusunda bu konulara yer verilmediği için yetersiz olduğu görülmüştür. Öğrenciler ile yapılan görüşmelerde ise öğrencilerin bu konulara karşı tutumlarının bilinçli olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Son olarak çalışmadan elde edilen veriler ışığında Mesleki ve Teknik Liselerin ders uygulama mutfaklarında gıda israfını azaltmaya yönelik çözüm önerileri sunulmuştur.

Uzun süre göçerevli bir yaşam sürmüş olan Türkler, yaşam tarzlarının gereği olarak tabiatın çetin şartlarına karşı mücadele etmek için hayatlarından bazı fedakârlıklarda bulunmak zorunda kalmışlardır. Haliyle bu fedakârlıklar; yaşamlarının bir parçası olmuş, yerleşik yaşama geçtiklerinde de bu özelliklerini sürdürmeye devam etmişlerdir. Türklerin bu özelliği; Türkleri faklı zamanlarda ziyaret etmiş birçok seyyahın dikkatinden kaçmamıştır. Bunun yanında dönemin bazı tarihçileri ve yazarları da bu konuya değinmişlerdir. Türklerin kanaatkârlığını esas alan bu çalışma; Türkleri ziyaret etmiş birçok seyyah başta olmak üzere dönemin tarihçileri ve önemli Türk tarihi ve kültürü üzerine önemli çalışmaları olan Türkologların eserleri esas alınarak hazırlanmıştır. Bu çalışmadaki amaç ise Türklerin önemli bir değeri olan kanaatkârlığını derli toplu ortaya koymak olmuştur.
SANATTA YÜCE KAVRAMI ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA
Authors: Özer Yıldız
Published: June 2024

Yüce kavramı, Antik Yunan felsefesinde ve MS 1. yüzyılda Sahte Longinus tarafından ele alınarak incelenen bir kavramdır. Daha sonra, Edmund Burke ve Immanuel Kant’ın felsefi çalışmalarında tekrar gündeme gelmiştir. Longinus'un ele aldığı yüce, Homeros'un şiirleri ve klasik trajedilerdeki duyguları içerirken, Edmund Burke ve Immanuel Kant gibi filozoflar, yücelik kavramını daha fazla araştırmışlar ve farklı açılardan ele almışlardır. Burke, yüceyi acıya, tehlikeye ve korkuya dayandırırken Kant, estetik ve etik arasında bir köprü olarak görmüştür. Romantik sanatçılar, doğanın yüceliğini vurgulayarak doğa manzaralarını korkutucu ve hayranlık uyandırıcı bir şekilde tasvir etmişlerdir. Günümüzde, teknoloji ve tüketim kültürü, doğanın yerini alarak yeni bir yücelik anlayışı oluşturmuştur. Çağdaş sanat, yüceliği doğal manzaralardan ziyade insan duyguları ve teknolojinin karmaşıklığıyla ilişkilendirir. Çağdaş sanatta yüce kavramı, geleneksel tanımının ötesine geçerek farklı yorumlara ve ifadelere sahip olmuştur. Geleneksel anlamıyla yüce, insanı korkutup hayranlık uyandıran doğal güzelliklerin veya büyüklüklerin bir ifadesi olarak düşünülürken, çağdaş sanatta, daha soyut ve kişisel bir anlam kazanmıştır.
Role of Bangabandhu in the Development of Post-independence International Relations: A Study on Selected Dhaka Dailies
Authors: Hossain Mohammad Rakib , Panday Pradip Kumar
Published: June 2024

Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the dreamer of Bengali independence, has left Bangladesh at a unique height on the World stage. His contributions to the development of international relations in Bangladesh after independence are undeniable. Bangabandhu has prepared the map of Bangladesh's foreign policy and international outline. The main objective of this study is to analyze how Bangabandhu's roles, steps and activities in the development of international relations after independence have been reflected in the newspapers. The study was carried out through purposive sampling of newspaper stories using systematic sampling methods. In the four years from 1972 to 1975, the number of sample newspapers in the Daily Ittefaq stood at 188, while the total number of news was 17,484. Among the sampled newspapers, international news related to Bangladesh was 330 (1.89%), of which the highest was 228 (69.09%) on the front page, the lowest was 4 (1.21%) on the sixth page, the highest was 113 (34.24%) in 1974 and the lowest was 68 (20.61%) in 1975. In terms of news type, simple news was the most printed at 249 (75.45%) and the lowest investigative and feature news at 3 (0.91%) and 3 (0.91%) respectively. The highest number of news sources was government and non-government organizations with 117 (35.45%) and the lowest was 8 (2.42%) press conferences. The study focused on five types of news issues (recognition, international conferences, international organizations, the United Nations, and diplomatic meetings). By presenting the logical results of the research work, it is proved that the strong position of Bangladesh in the international arena is a far-reaching result of Bangabandhu's farsighted policy and leadership in the development of international relations after independence. The results of this research will play an important role in understanding Bangladesh's international relations and Bangabandhu's contributions. In a very short period after independence, Bangabandhu and his government have created a golden history by achieving international recognition, getting membership in different organizations, and improving relations with different countries and organizations. The study recommends more in-depth analysis and documentation of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's diplomatic strategies and their long-term impacts on Bangladesh's international relations to serve as a guiding framework for future research and foreign policy development.

Published: June 2024

Identification and management of groundwater quality are of utmost importance for maintaining freshwater resources in arid and semi-arid areas, which is essential for sustainable development. The investigation was carried out to assess the quality of irrigation water in THE saline tract of Purna Valley in Akola and Daryapur tehsil. Forty water samples from open wells, Borewell, Farm Ponds and Rivers were collected in post- monsoon season (winter). It was observed that the irrigation water in Purna Valley has very high salinity and medium sodium hazard (C4S2) during post- monsoon (winter) season. Amongst cations sodium was dominant in water samples. The anionic composition was below the permissible limit, except for bicarbonates. The sodium adsorption ratio was close to the permissible limit and the Mg:Ca ratio of all water samples during post -monsoon (winter) season was found to be disturbed. The adjusted sodium adsorption ratio was above the permissible limit. As per Kelley’s ratio most of the water samples were above the limit, while the samples collected from wells, farm ponds and rivers were within the permissible limit. The residual sodium bicarbonate of water collected from the borewell was above the permissible limit. Whereas, the soluble sodium percentage of all irrigation water samples was found above the permissible limit. The magnesium adsorption of water ratio is lower than the permissible range. Hence, the borewell water was not advisable to use consistently for irrigation.
Conditions of Safe Dominating Set in Some Graph Families
Authors: Grino Devine Fathy Mae S. , Jr. Isagani S. Cabahug,
Published: June 2024

Let X be an arbitrary Banach space. For a nontrivial connected graph G and nonempty subset S \(\subseteq\) V (G), S is a safe dominating set of G if and only if S is a dominating set of G and every component X of G[S] and every component Y of G[V (G) \ S] adjacent to X, |X| \(\ge\) |Y|. Moreover, S is called a minimum safe dominating set if S is a safe dominating set of the smallest size in a given graph. The cardinality of the minimum safe dominating set of G is the safe domination number of G, denoted by \(\gamma s\)(G). In this paper, we characterized the safe dominating set and determine its corresponding safe domination number in some special classes of graphs.

Bhola is a coastal district in the southern part of Bangladesh which prone to natural disasters, mainly cyclones, and upsurges of saline water in the sea due to the impact of climate change through increasing temperature. Natural disasters are the key forces for river erosion, loss of assets, increasing poverty along some other socioeconomic impacts. The objectives of the study were to check the impact of climate change through natural disasters on the education sector of the district by creating various challenges and vulnerabilities in the education system, resource allocation, and maintenance resulting in students dropping out, child marriage, livelihood changes, etc. There is much research on climate change and its impacts on the coastal areas of Bangladesh but publications, and research works on the same topic were not found. Content Analysis has been adopted for this study to investigate the causes and effects of a tabulation method. Related books, articles publications in journals, and features on the topic in the reputed online media have been scrutinized for this study. The coding of the content analysis has been carefully checked and synchronized with the problem statement based on the research question of the study. The impact of climate change has a significant role in student dropout because of the destruction of infrastructures, migration of people, increasing poverty, child marriage, changes in the livelihoods of the people, etc. To address this problem massive and comprehensive intervention is necessary along with increasing capacity building and adaptation of the people.

This review explore the impact of various nutrient management on mustard cultivation. Integrating organic and inorganic fertilizers significantly enhances plant height, branch number, siliquae per plant, seeds per siliqua, seed yield, and oil content. Treatments combining farmyard manure (FYM), vermicompost, and biofertilizers such as Azotobacter and phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) with recommended doses of NPK fertilizers showed superior results compared to inorganic fertilizers alone. The application of vermicompost and FYM not only improved nutrient uptake and soil properties but also increased the synthesis of beneficial phenolic compounds, enhancing plant health and pest resistance. This integrated nutrient management approach demonstrates a sustainable method to optimize mustard crop production, ensuring higher yields and better-quality seeds.

Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity function (Kh) is an important soil parameter for drip irrigation design. There are many laboratory and in-situ measurement methods available for the measurement of Kh with associated limitations. A point source field dripper model (PSFDM) using Wooding [1] theory was used by Shani et al. [2] for Kh measurement in the field for the first time. Warrick (1985) gave an approximate equation for Kh estimation. Keeping the difficulty of detecting interface and steady state conditions a new model for in-situ measurement of Kh was developed. An experimental set up (micro-irrigation simulator) was developed for in-situ measurement of Kh which simulates real field drip conditions. Steady state saturated fronts diameters were measured against 2.02, 4.04, 7.56 and 8.31 lph dripper discharges maintaining one atmospheric pressure in drip line. Ks values calculated by PSFDM-Shani, PSFDM-Warrick and PSFDM-New were 3.60, 4.31 and 3.22 cm/hr and α as 0.1643, 0.1544 and 0.1468 cm-1, respectively. Ks values measured by PSFDM are quite close to each other. Ks value measured by using inverse auger hole method (IAHM) was 0.60 cm/hr and by infiltrometer method (IM) as 0.79 cm/hr. The PSFDM is the only method available to measure any change in Kh value due to tillage or any other interventions. Newly developed experimental set up in combination to PSFD Models is the best combination for field application.

Enzyme‐labeled phages detected by amperometry: A new method to study inline virus retention in membrane processes
Authors: Soussan L. , Guigui C. , Mathe C. , Alfenore S. , Cabassud C.
Published: March 2012

A new method is presented to characterize the retention dynamics of membrane processes with a new virus surrogate used as a tracer and developed in our laboratory. This virus surrogate is an enzyme‐labeled MS2 bacteriophage whose activity can be directly and rapidly detected and quantified by amperometry, which is a sensitive electrochemical technique. In the first step, the amperometric measurement was developed and validated. Microfiltration and ultrafiltration experiments consisting of injecting tracers into the feed and monitoring the tracer presence in permeate (or in retentate) by amperometry, and then validating the use of the tracer and its detection technique in the field of membrane filtration. In particular, global retention experiments demonstrated the ability of this method to differentiate among membrane behaviors and dynamic experiments showed the ability of the method to characterize dynamics of retention in a reproducible way. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 59: 68–78, 2013

Published: March 2012

The systematic screening of Rett syndrome (RTT) patients for pathogenetic sequence variations has focused on three genes that have been associated with RTT or related clinical phenotypes, namely MECP2, CDKL5, and FOXG1. More recently, it has been suggested that phenotypes associated with TCF4 and MEF2C mutations may represent a form of RTT.

Here we report on the screening of the TCF4 and MEF2C genes in a cohort of 81 classical, atypical, and incomplete atypical RTT patients harboring no known mutations in MECP2, CDKL5, and FOXG1 genes. No pathogenetic sequence variations were identified in the MEF2C gene in our cohort. However, a frameshift mutation in TCF4 was identified in a patient with a clinical diagnosis of “variant” RTT, in whom the clinical evolution later raised the possibility of Pitt–Hopkins syndrome. Although our results suggest that these genes are not commonly associated with RTT, we note the clinical similarity between RTT and Pitt–Hopkins syndrome, and suggest that RTT patients with no mutation identified in MECP2 be considered for molecular screening of the TCF4 gene. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Hypothesis: Estrogen related thrombosis explains the pathogenesis and epidemiology of gastroschisis
Authors: Lubinsky Mark
Published: March 2012

A three‐part hypothesis is proposed to explain the unusual epidemiology of gastroschisis, a congenital abnormality of the abdominal wall, which has a rising frequency, a higher rate in first and young mothers in whites but not blacks, and a unique negative correlation with obesity. The hypothesis involves: (1) An early estrogenic thrombophilia, (2) racial differences in thrombosis, and (3) thrombotic by‐products interfering with early developmental signaling. For the first: (1) An estrogenic thrombophilia is a known effect. (2) A mouse model links excess estrogen to thromboses affecting the fetus. (3) Young and first mothers have higher first trimester estrogen levels. (4) A negative correlation between body mass index and pregnancy estradiol accounts for the weight relationship. (5) Maternal alcohol raises estrogen levels in premenopausal women. (6) A link with atrazine, an estrogenic endocrine disruptor, has been found, and rising frequencies of gastroschisis make this and other such chemicals a particular concern if estrogen is indeed involved. For the second: Blacks have a different thrombophilic gene background and less of a thrombotic response to estrogen than whites, explaining racial differences. For the third: Protein palmitoylation affects cell signaling in development, and lipid rafts, a major aspect of thromboses, facilitate this process. Such thrombotic byproducts could be the source of palmitic acid rich amniotic vacuoles with gastroschisis. Similar vacuoles can occur with limb‐body wall defects, another early developmental anomaly associated with decreased maternal age that may have a similar pathogenesis. Later thrombotic related anomalies with a similar epidemiology seem to primarily involve vascular disruptions, but localized signaling anomalies may also occur. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Recurrent copy number variants (CNVs) are found in a significant proportion of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) and some of these CNVs are associated with other developmental defects. In some syndromic patients, CHD may be the first presenting symptom, thus screening of patients with CHD for CNVs in specific genomic regions may lead to early diagnosis and awareness of extracardiac symptoms. We designed a multiplex ligation‐dependent probe amplification (MLPA) assay specifically for screening of CHD patients. The MLPA assay allows for simultaneous analysis of CNVs in 25 genomic regions previously associated with CHD. We screened blood samples from 402 CHD patients and identified 14 rare CNVs in 13 (3.2%) patients. Five CNVs were de novo and six where inherited from a healthy parent. The MLPA screen led to early syndrome diagnosis in two of these patients. We conclude that the MLPA assay detects clinically relevant CNVs and suggest that it could be used within pediatric cardiology as a first tier screen to detect clinically relevant CNVs and identify syndromic patients at an early stage. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Temperature‐tuned enantioselectivity in transfer hydrogenation: preparation and catalytic property of amino acid‐modified benzimidazole
Authors: Li Xiao‐Na , Zhou Hong‐Yong , Feng Lei , Duan Kai , Wang Jia‐Xi
Published: March 2012

A series of l‐amino acid‐modified benzimidazoles have been synthesized and their application in Ru‐catalysed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones has been evaluated using i‐propanol as hydrogen donor as well as solvent. The enantioselectivity of the product was sensitive to the reaction conditions and showed reversed temperature effect. Better reaction activity and enantioselectivity were obtained at higher reaction temperature and higher molar ratio of substrate to catalyst (S/C). At an S/C of 2000:1 and 5000:1, the turnover frequency (TOF) and the enantiomeric excess (ee) value of the ATH of acetophenone promoted by the combination of l‐proline benzimidazole 7c and [RuCl2(p‐cymene)]2 were up to 6880, 13 000 h−1 and 67%, 51% respectively. The ee value dropped off after the reaction reached equilibrium. The high activity and enantioselectivity of [RuCl2(p‐cymene)]2/7c was primarily influenced by the (S,R) configuration, whereas the (S,S) configuration had low activity and enantioselectivity.

Synthesis and characterization of conducting poly(3‐acetylpyrrole)/carbon nanotube composites
Authors: Zheng Yuying , Wang Pan , Li Baoming
Published: March 2012

Conducting poly(3‐acetylpyrrole) (PAPy)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) composites were synthesized by the in situ chemical polymerization of 3‐acetylpyrrole (APy) onto MWNTs. The structure and morphology of the PAPy/MWNT composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and thermogravimetric analysis. The FTIR results indicated that no chemical reaction occurred between the PAPy and MWNTs, and only the MWNTs served as a template for APy polymerization. FE‐SEM and TEM suggested that PAPy was only coated on the surface of the carbon nanotubes, and the thickness of the PAPy coating on each nanotube was dependent on the ratio of APy to MWNTs. The standard four‐probe method was used to measure the electrical conductivity of the samples at room temperature, and the results show that the MWNTs enhanced the electrical conductivity of the composites compared to PAPy. In addition, the solution stability of the suspension with the PAPy [or polypyrrole (PPy)]/MWNT composites was investigated; this showed that the dispersion of the PAPy/MWNT composites in ethanol solution was much better than that of the PPy/MWNT composites. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
