Slippery ontologies of tidal flats
Authors: Choi Young Rae
Published: December 2020

Tidal flats are a type of coastal space that flood at high tides and are exposed at low tides—not quite land or sea. Distinct from open waters or seabeds, tidal flats’ in-betweenness gives them particular materialities that constantly frustrate our efforts to know them. Inspired by the provocation of recent scholarship on “wet ontologies” while simultaneously recognizing the nuances within water worlds, I argue for the slippery ontologies of tidal flats and explore the implications of this approach. Specifically, this paper shows how tidal flats’ dynamic and ambiguous materialities resist attempts to place them into modern knowledge systems.

 Drawing upon the particular case of South Korea’s tidal flats, called getbol, I first interrogate the in-betweenness of tidal flats, a major source of their material and conceptual slipperiness. I then discuss the similarities and differences between tidal flats and other types of land–water spaces. Next, through several interviews with those who produce modern scientific knowledge of getbol, I examine how tidal flats’ unique compositions interfere with modernity’s efforts to measure their boundaries, matter, and verticality. I highlight how both non-humans and humans contribute to tidal flats’ slipperiness. Finally, I show how the slippery nature of tidal flats has threatened their survival. In South Korea alone, more than half the tidal flats were removed due to reclamation efforts in the past century. In this context, I contend that fully embracing tidal flats’ slippery ontologies may prevent them from further endangerment.

Published: December 2020

Background:

Uncertainties remain about the role of common thrombophilia markers as determinants of the ischemic stroke (IS) risk. Polymorphism His1299Arg in the FV gene, named R2 haplotype (FVHR2), has been poorly investigated. The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of common thrombophilia markers and of FVHR2 in a cohort of IS patients compared to a nonmatched group of healthy individuals.

Methods:

We studied 156 consecutive patients survivors of a first ever IS and 124 healthy controls. All subjects were investigated for the gene polymorphisms factor V (FV) Leiden, prothrombin (PTH) G20210A, MTHFR C677T, and FVHR2. Protein C (PC), protein S (PS), antithrombin (ATIII), and lupus anticoagulant (LAC) activity was measured. Homocysteinemia was assessed within 48 hours and after 30 days from stroke onset. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed.

Results:

Compared with controls, patients were significantly older (mean [SD] age, 50.5 [12.9] vs 37.5 [15.5] years, P < .001), less frequently females (48.1% vs 67.7%, P = .001) and had more frequently hyperhomocysteinemia (45.9% vs 11.0%) only in the acute phase (OR 6.899, CI 95% 2.993-15.899; P < .001). No differences were found in the prevalence of FV Leiden, PTH G20210A, and MTHFR C677T between patients and controls, whereas FVHR2 was present in 34/156 (22%) stroke patients and in 5/124 (4%) controls (OR 6.632, 95% CI 2.509-17.535, P < .001). In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, the FVHR2 resulted independently associated with the occurrence of IS (OR 6.071, 95% CI 1.762-20.923; P = .004).

Conclusions:

In our study, hyperhomocysteinemia was confirmed to be a transient consequence of the thrombotic event. FVHR2 seems to be a possible candidate prothrombotic condition related to arterial IS irrespective of age and sex in an Italian sample population.

Published: December 2020

Respiratory tract illness is a leading cause of training and in-competition time loss in elite athletes. Asthma is known to be prevalent in athletes, but the coexistence of other respiratory problems in those deemed to be susceptible to respiratory tract illness is unknown. The aim of this study was to apply a comprehensive prospective approach to identify respiratory problems and explore relationships in athletes with heightened respiratory illness susceptibility.

UK World Class Performance Programme athletes prospectively completed a systematic review of respiratory health with validated questionnaires and respiratory-focused investigations, including studies of nasal flow, exhaled nitric oxide, spirometry, bronchoprovocation testing and allergy testing.

Systematic respiratory health assessment was completed by 122 athletes (55 females, mean±sdage 24±4 years). At least one respiratory health issue, requiring intervention, was identified in 97 (80%) athletes and at least two abnormalities were found in 73 (60%). Sinonasal problems were the most commonly identified problem (49%) and 22% of athletes had a positive indirect bronchoprovocation test. Analysis revealed two respiratory health clusters: 1) asthma, sinus problems and allergy; and 2) laryngeal and breathing pattern dysfunction. Respiratory illness susceptible athletes had 3.6±2.5 episodes in the year prior to assessment and were more likely to have allergy (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.0–6.5), sinonasal problems (2.6, 1.1–6.0) and symptoms of laryngeal (5.4, 1.8–16.8) and breathing pattern dysfunction (3.9, 1.1–14.0) than nonsusceptible athletes (all p<0.05).

A systematic approach to respiratory assessment identifies a high prevalence and coexistence of multiple respiratory problems in illness-susceptible athletes.
Exploring the Process of Cancer Care for Patients With Pre-Existing Mobility Disability
Authors: Agaronnik Nicole D. , El-Jawahri Areej , Lindvall Charlotta , Iezzoni Lisa I.
Published: December 2020

PURPOSE:

Approximately 13% of the US population report mobility disability. People with mobility disability experience healthcare disparities, including lower rates of cancer screening and substandard cancer care compared with nondisabled people. We explored clinicians' reports of aspects of diagnosing and treating three common cancer types among persons with pre-existing mobility disability.

METHODS:

We used standard diagnosis codes and natural language processing to screen electronic health records (EHR) in the Research Patient Data Repository for patients with pre-existing chronic mobility impairment who were newly diagnosed with one of three common cancers (colorectal, prostate, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma) between 2005 and 2017. We eliminated numerous cases whose EHRs lacked essential information. We reviewed EHRs of 27 cases, using conventional content analysis to identify themes concerning their cancer diagnoses and treatments.

RESULTS:

Clinicians' notations coalesced around four major themes: (1) patients' health risks raise concerns about diagnostic processes; (2) cancer signs or symptoms can be erroneously attributed to the patient's underlying disabling condition, delaying diagnosis; (3) disability complicates cancer treatment decisions; and (4) problems with equipment accessibility and disability accommodations impede cancer diagnoses.

DISCUSSION:

Clinicians view patients with pre-existing mobility disability as often clinically complex, presenting challenges for diagnosing and treating their cancer. Nonetheless, these patients may experience substandard care because of disability-related problems. Given the growing population of people with mobility disability, further efforts to improve care quality and timeliness of diagnosis are warranted.

Published: December 2020

Miniaturized entangled photon sources, in particular based on subwavelength metasurfaces, are highly demanded for the development of integrated quantum photonics. Here, as a first step towards the development of quantum optical metasurfaces (QOMs), we demonstrate generation of entangled photons via spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) from subwavelength films. We achieve photon pair generation with a high coincidence-to-accidental ratio in lithium niobate and gallium phosphide nanofilms. By implementing the fiber spectroscopy of SPDC in nanofilms, we measure a spectrum with a bandwidth of 500 nm, limited only by the overall detection efficiency. The spectrum reveals vacuum field enhancement due to a Fabry–Perot resonance inside the nonlinear films. It also suggests a strategy for observing SPDC from QOM. Our experiments lay the groundwork for future development of flat SPDC sources, including QOM.

Published: December 2020

Este estudo teve como objetivo principal diagnosticar o grau de conhecimento e forma de abordagem do tema Parque Nacional de Ilha Grande na práxis docente em colégios públicos da área de abrangência do Núcleo Regional de Educação de Umuarama, que fazem divisa com esta Unidade de Conservação. A metodologia empregada foi pesquisa qualitativa, na forma de questionários semiestruturados, com amostragem de 12 pedagogas e 24 professores do 6º ano do Ensino Básico. Os resultados apontam para um conhecimento ainda em construção entre os participantes sobre o tema estudado. Além de afirmarem não conhecer o Parque pedagogicamente, a maioria revelou que usufrui do atrativo para turismo e não observa os conflitos e relações cotidianas entre o Parque e sua comunidade escolar. Aos 22 anos desta Unidade de Conservação, constatou-se que ainda é necessária a valorização da formação complementar para compreender o próprio território, no contexto da Educação Ambiental.

Published: December 2020

In der Zeit der nationalen Wiedergeburt Bulgariens im 19. Jh. wurden seit dem Beginn der ausländischen Besetzung durch das Osmanische Reich erstmals gedruckte Bücher in bulgarischer Sprache veröffentlicht. Aufgrund eines generellen Verbots von Druckerpressen in den bulgarisch-sprachigen Gebieten zur damaligen Zeit wurden die Schriften in einem weitläufigen geografischen Raum gedruckt, der von Moskau bis nach New York reichte. Im Projekt „Digitalization of the repertoire of books from the Bulgarian Revival (1801–1878)“, gefördert durch den Bulgarischen wissenschaftlichen Nationalfond, wurden die Werke dieser Periode nun erstmals in einer Online-Bibliografie vollständig nachgewiesen und mit den vorhandenen Volltext-Digitalisaten aus den verschiedenen Bibliotheken und Museen Bulgariens verknüpft. Die im Rahmen des Projekts entwickelte Webseite bietet zahlreiche Sucheinstiege und Filter, eingebettete Tastaturen für arabische, kyrillische, griechische und lateinische Schrift sowie ein geografisches Informationssystem mit Visualisierungen und einem topografischen Index.
Single-valued integration and double copy
Authors: Brown Francis , Dupont Clément
Published: December 2020

In this paper, we study a single-valued integration pairing between differential forms and dual differential forms which subsumes some classical constructions in mathematics and physics.
It can be interpreted as a p-adic period pairing at the infinite prime.
The single-valued integration pairing is defined by transporting the action of complex conjugation from singular to de Rham cohomology via the comparison isomorphism. We show how quite general families of period integrals admit canonical single-valued versions and prove some general formulae for them. This implies an elementary “double copy” formula expressing certain singular volume integrals over the complex points of a smooth projective variety as a quadratic expression in ordinary period integrals of half the dimension. We provide
several examples, including non-holomorphic modular forms, archimedean Néron–Tate heights on curves, single-valued multiple zeta values and polylogarithms.
The results of the present paper are used in [F. Brown and C. Dupont,
Single-valued integration and superstring amplitudes in genus zero,

The Historian’s Role, Public History, and the National Truth Commission in Brazil
Authors: Quadrat Samantha Viz
Published: December 2020

In 2011, twenty-six years after the end of the military dictatorship, the Brazilian government took the initiative of implementing the right to memory and to the truth, as well as promoting national reconciliation. A National Truth Commission was created aiming at examining and shedding light on serious human rights violations practiced by government agents from 1946 to 1985. It worked across the entire national territory for almost three years and established partnerships with governments of other countries in order to investigate and expose the international networks created by dictatorships for monitoring and persecuting political opponents across borders. This article analyzes the relationship between historians and the National Truth Commission in Brazil, in addition to the construction of dictatorship public history in the country. In order to do so, the Commission’s relationship with the national community of historians, the works carried out, as well as historians’ reactions towards its works, from its creation until its final report in 2014, will be examined.

Food quality schemes (FQS: organic and geographical indication products) are often supposed to be more sustainable by their political advocates. We explore the social sustainability advantage of FQS through the lens of supply chains’ bargaining power (BP) distribution. We propose an indicator synthesizing different sources underlying BP (competition-based, transactional, institutional) and counting two dimensions (fair BP distribution and adaptation capacity), that we apply to 18 FQS supply chains and corresponding reference. FQS perform better than their reference products on both dimensions. This better performance is due to a combination of sources.
Far-field optical imaging of surface plasmons with a subdiffraction limited separation

Published: December 2020

When an ultrathin silver nanowire with a diameter less than 100 nm is placed on a photonic band gap structure, surface plasmons can be excited and propagate along two side-walls of the silver nanowire. Although the diameter of the silver nanowire is far below the diffraction limit, two bright lines can be clearly observed at the image plane by a standard wide-field optical microscope. Simulations suggest that the two bright lines in the far-field are caused by the unique phase distribution of plasmons on the two side-walls of the silver nanowire. Combining with the sensing ability of surface plasmons to its environment, the configuration reported in this work is capable of functioning as a sensing platform to monitor environmental changes in the near-field region of this ultrathin nanowire.

Integrated silicon nanophotonics has rapidly established itself as intriguing research field, whose outlets impact numerous facets of daily life. Indeed, nanophotonics has propelled many advances in optoelectronics, information and communication technologies, sensing and energy, to name a few. Silicon nanophotonics aims to deliver compact and high-performance components based on semiconductor chips leveraging mature fabrication routines already developed within the modern microelectronics. However, the silicon indirect bandgap, the centrosymmetric nature of its lattice and its wide transparency window across optical telecommunication wavebands hamper the realization of essential functionalities, including efficient light generation/amplification, fast electro-optical modulation, and reliable photodetection. Germanium, a well-established complement material in silicon chip industry, has a quasi-direct energy band structure in this wavelength domain. Germanium and its alloys are thus the most suitable candidates for active functions, i.e. bringing them to close to the silicon family of nanophotonic devices. Along with recent advances in silicon–germanium-based lasers and modulators, short-wave-infrared receivers are also key photonic chip elements to tackle cost, speed and energy consumption challenges of exponentially growing data traffics within next-generation systems and networks. Herein, we provide a detailed overview on the latest development in nanophotonic receivers based on silicon and germanium, including material processing, integration and diversity of device designs and arrangements. Our Review also emphasizes surging applications in optoelectronics and communications and concludes with challenges and perspectives potentially encountered in the foreseeable future.

Prospects of cell replacement therapy for the treatment of degenerative cervical myelopathy
Authors: Shea Graham Ka Hon , Koljonen Paul Aarne , Chan Ying Shing , Cheung Kenneth Man Chee
Published: December 2020

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) presents insidiously during middle-age with deterioration in neurological function. It accounts for the most common cause of non-traumatic spinal cord injury in developed countries and disease prevalence is expected to rise with the aging population. Whilst surgery can prevent further deterioration, biological therapies may be required to restore neurological function in advanced disease. Cell replacement therapy has been inordinately focused on treatment of traumatic spinal cord injury yet holds immense promise in DCM. We build upon this thesis by reviewing the pathophysiology of DCM as revealed by cadaveric and molecular studies. Loss of oligodendrocytes and neurons occurs via apoptosis. The tissue microenvironment in DCM prior to end-stage disease is distinct from that following acute trauma, and in many ways more favourable to receiving exogenous cells. We highlight clinical considerations for cell replacement in DCM such as selection of cell type, timing and method of delivery, as well as biological treatment adjuncts. Critically, disease models often fail to mimic features of human pathology. We discuss directions for translational research towards clinical application.
Birefringence and order parameter studies in ferroelectric liquid crystals using laser transmission technique
Authors: Gowri Sankara Rao B. , Mallika K. , Ha Sie Tiong , Sreehari Sastry S.
Published: December 2020

Birefringence of the ferro electric liquid crystals (FLCs): (S)-(−)-2-methylbutyl 4′-(4ʺ-n-alkanoyloxybenzoyloxy) biphenyl-4-carboxylates (S-MB-nB-BC) wheren = 16 and 18 is determined experimentally using laser transmission technique. In this experimental technique, the light coming out from the laser source (of wavelength 633 nm) passes through the polarizer and analyzer via FLC sample under crossed position. Optical intensities transmitted from the sample fall on the phototransistor through the analyzer. Phototransistor is a photo detector in which the transmitted light from the analyzer is converted into the electric response and measured in terms of voltage. These voltage measurements are used to determine the birefringence values of the samples. Further, order parameter is also determined. The results are compared with image analysis technique values along with phase transition temperatures, which are in good agreement.

Smaller Is Better: Associations Between Personality and Demographics Are Improved by Examining Narrower Traits and Regions
Authors: Elleman Lorien G. , Condon David M. , Holtzman Nicholas S. , Allen Victoria R. , Revelle William
Published: December 2020

The personality of individuals is clustered by geographic regions; a resident of a region is more similar to another resident than to a random non-resident. Research in geographical psychology often has focused on this clustering effect in broad regions, such as countries and states, using broad domains of personality, such as the Big Five. We examined the extent to which (a) a narrower geographic unit, the U.S. ZIP Code, accounted for more variance explained in aggregating personality than a broader region, the U.S. state; and (b) progressively narrower personality traits (domains, facets, and nuances, respectively) provided more specificity in describing personality-demographic relationships. Results from this study (nparticipants = 39,886, nzipcodes = 2,074) indicated that the variance explained by aggregating personality was multiple times as large for U.S. ZIP Codes than for states (median = 4.4). At the level of personality domains, ZIP Code population density and income disparity were positively correlated with Openness and negatively correlated with Conscientiousness and Agreeableness. Facets within each domain were differentially correlated with each demographic, which demonstrated that facets added specificity to the personality-demographic relationships beyond that of domains. Item-level analysis revealed the most specific finding: higher population density and income disparity were associated with politically liberal attitudes and beliefs of self-exceptionalism, while lower density and income disparity were associated with authoritarian attitudes and concern for abiding by rules and laws. Findings suggest that future studies in geographical and personality psychology could benefit from using the narrowest feasible unit of analysis.

Published: December 2020

The HYDRA facility is a very large 6-Degrees-of-Freedom (DoF) hydraulic shaker located in the European Space Research and Technology Centre of ESA in The Netherlands. It has been recently used as test platform to perform a number of innovative, 6-DoF experimental vibration runs with the aim of assessing more flight-representative ways to dynamically qualify a spacecraft, hence reducing the level of conservatism. This paper focuses on the methodology behind the definition of the injected profiles computed by launcher/spacecraft coupled loads analysis, the performance achieved by HYDRA and its state-of-the-art MIMO control system, how the experimental data compare to the simulation ones, and aims also at defining success criteria for 6-DoF transient testing.

Published: December 2020

W artykule analizowane są sposoby transpozycji jednostek onomastycznych z języków słowiańskich do języka białoruskiego. Znaczenie takich badań jest związane z intensyfikacją problemów przeniesienia nazw własnych jednego języka za pomocą środków innego na tle współczesnego rozszerzenia procesów komunikacji kulturowej i ekonomicznej. Podczas pracy nad tematem autorka wychodziła z założenia, że obecnie w białoruskiej praktyce onomastycznej zostały wyraźnie określone ogólne zasady transponowania onimów słowiańskich, a algorytmy ich zastosowania do konkretnego materiału językowego znajdują się na razie w fazie opracowania. Przedstawiono przydatność dla leksyki onomastycznej istniejących zasad międzyjęzykowej transpozycji (tłumaczenie, transkrypcja, transliteracja), poddano analizie obiektywne trudności włączenia obcojęzycznych onimów w białoruski kontekst językowy. Dokonano przeglądu wyników prac przeprowadzonych przez onomastów białoruskich i służby państwowe, dotyczących normalizacji i standaryzacji pisemnego opracowania różnych rodzajów słowiańskich onimów w systemie języka białoruskiego. Wymienione zostały odpowiednie przepisy regulujące tę sferę onomastyki. Przeanalizowano nieopracowane aspekty problematyki słowiańsko-białoruskich kontaktów onomastycznych. W pracy wykorzystano metodę opisową, porównawczą, przeglądowo-analityczną oraz metodę analogii. W sumie analiza wykazała, jak istotne znaczenie ma uregulowanie zasad i reguł słowiańsko-białoruskiego przeniesienia onimów. Uwzględnienie wyników badań pozwala usytuować główne kierunki przyszłych działań w tej dziedzinie w obrębie doskonalenia obowiązującej normy w dokumentacji i tworzenia nowych instrukcji, które obejmowałyby wszystkie języki słowiańskie i maksymalną ilość wariantów onimicznych.
Developing an Interactive Resource Map for Children with Disabilities in Kenya
Authors: Etling Mary Ann , Musili Michael , Oyungu Eren , McHenry Megan
Published: December 2020

Background and Objectives: 
An estimated 15% of the global population are living with a disability. Children with disabilities remain one of the most vulnerable populations, experiencing significant barriers to wellness and inclusion. In countries like Kenya, it is a challenge to navigate the existing resources available to support individuals with disabilities. Our objective is to develop an interactive map of organizations and institutions that provide medical, educational, financial, or social resources to children with disabilities in Kenya. The target audience for this tool includes persons with disabilities, caregivers, medical professionals, and organization leaders.  
Project Methods: 
A comprehensive list of 219 organizations, institutions, and government offices was compiled from various online directories. Each organization was contacted for an interview to verify contact information, address, services offered, payment options, requirement for enrollment, and transport services. Based on the services offered, each organization was assigned categorical search tags. The data was entered into a third-party mapping site. The map was embedded within the Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) website. 
Future Steps: 
The next two phases include: improving mapping quality and gathering feedback from key stakeholders. For instance, team members in Kenya are visiting each organization to take a photo of the site from the road and pin the specific location using mapping coordinates. In the next month, the pilot version of the map and a short survey will be sent to key stakeholders in Kenya. This feedback will inform revisions for future implementation. 
Potential Impact: 
Using the search features, this tool will allow medical professionals to provide more patient-specific referrals and caregivers to independently access these resources. Additionally, this map will inform organizations where resources are limited within the country. Ultimately, this interactive map will serve as a bridge to connect children with disabilities and their families to needed services.

Published: December 2020

This study aims to compile a composite index from economic, social, ecology and institutional dimensions of sustainable capture fisheries. Use of primary and secondary data. Different methods of data analysis used in this study include priority analysis, key component analysis (PCA), analysis of structural equation modeling (SEM), and analysis of flag modeling. The results show that the main priorities in capturing fisheries development were determined by the social and ecology dimensions. The sensitivity analysis results indicate that all indicators on the institutional level have a higher sensitivity compared with other indicators. Thus, Indonesia's current development of catch fisheries is in the "moderate" sustainability status. In order to attain sustainable fisheries production in the future, it must take significant account of ecology and social indicators and issues.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND Salivary gland (SG) neoplasms are rare, constitute of 3 - 4 % of head and neck tumours. 70 - 80 % of SG neoplasms occur in parotid gland. These are unique in the way they present, generally slow growing. A study was conducted to analyse various modes of presentation of SG tumours and to review the role of FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) in the diagnosis of SG tumours. METHODS This was a prospective study, conducted in the department of surgical oncology, October 2016 to July 2018. Individuals aged >18 years, came with swelling of the SGs were considered. Swellings that were not neoplasms, the individuals with inflammatory or infections of SGs, autoimmune diseases were excluded. Statistical analysis were performed by SPSS software version-21 and MS excel 2013. RESULTS Out of 40 participants, male female ratio was 2.07. The age was ranged between 31 – 70 years, maximum (80 %) members were in 41 – 60 group. Parotid gland was the most commonly followed by submandibular gland (20 %).

Authors: Zhang Zheming
Published: December 2020

With the continuous development and evolution of the United States, especially the economic center shift after World War II, the United States become the economic hegemon instead of the UK and thus it seized the economic initiative of the world. After the World War I, the European countries gradually withdraw from the gold standard. In order to stabilize the world economy development and the international economic order, the United States prepared to build the economic system related with its own interests so as to force the UK to return to the gold standard. The game between the United States and the UK shows the significance of economic initiative. Among them, the outcome of the two countries in the fight of the financial system also demonstrates a significant change in the world economic system.
Abstracionismo, montagem construtiva e militarismo na geração de Tagawa Suihou e do manga pré-Segunda Guerra Mundial
Authors: Costa Rafael Machado
Published: December 2020

No artigo é tratada da construção da narrativa que propõe uma origem do manga a partir da arte tradicional japonesa, bem como desta linhagem historiográfica omitir os processos que definiram a produção de manga das décadas de 1930 e 1940 e suas influências sobre o manga produzido após a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Partindo do exemplo da produção de Tagawa Suihou e da primeira série de sua HQ Norakuro, é tratado de como a geração de autores de histórias em quadrinhos japonesas da década de 1930 via em sua produção uma continuidade dos movimentos de arte de vanguarda e foi marcadamente influenciada pelas propostas modernistas, principalmente as originadas no Construtivismo russo. Ainda, é discutido como as teorias de montagem cinematográfica de Sergei Eisenstein foram determinantes para a definição do estilo de quadrinhos produzidos no Japão dos anos 1930 e na produção de Tezuka Osamu após o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Fast fashion e slow fashion: o paradoxo e a transição
Authors: Coutinho Marina , Kauling Graziela Brunhari
Published: December 2020

A contemporaneidade é caracterizada por mudanças constantes em todos os aspectos da sociedade. O presente artigo objetiva analisar a transição paradoxal entre os fenômenos sociais do fast fashion como reflexo da era moderna e o slow fashion como uma reação pós-moderna. Para essa reflexão, são estudados os conceitos de Saturação de Michel Maffesoli e da Bacia Semântica de Gilbert Durand, ambas teorias do imaginário. A metodologia de pesquisa se faz pela abordagem compreensiva, que visa descrever o vivido reconhecendo no cotidiano a força da potência social. O Fashion Revolution traz, com a metáfora do fluxo das águas de Durand, o exemplo desse movimento cíclico. O estudo sugere que a transição é um processo permanente e contínuo, porém inconstante, imprevisível e não linear
A representação, essa crise (ou, se um raio te atingir, é bom estar acompanhado)
Authors: Leone Luciana Di
Published: December 2020

A partir da questão “Mimesis e crise da representação”, do romance de César Aira, Un episodio en la vida del pintor viajero, e de algumas obras de Johann Moritz Rugendas, este texto indaga a tensão entre uma representação realista, a sua construção de sentidos e a sua construção de temporalidades, e uma representação alicerçada no trauma e no acontecimento intempestivo – relâmpago. Nessa tensão, o texto pretende deixar rastros para uma reflexão sobre uma estética do afeto e do convívio.
METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO STUDYING PATIENT QUALITY OF LIFE AFTER CHOLECYSTECTOMY (LITERATURE REVIEW)
Authors: KOSYRIKHINA ANNA N. , SIMONOV SERGEY N. , BARANOV ALEXANDER V.
Published: December 2020

In the therapeutic practice of a therapist, patients in post-cholecystectomy syndrome or “Oddy sphincter dysfunction” are quite common. To rationally build the therapeutic and diagnostic process the gastroenterologist needs to know the “surgical background” of the patient. The peculiarities of surgery can also be of significant importance for the quality of life of patients with post-cholecystectomy syndrome. Patients' quality of life is a relevant topic in patient care after surgery, as well as in medical practice in general. This review analyses the concept of quality of life associated with the health of patients after cholecystectomy. We outlined state-of-the-art health-related ideas of Western researchers about quality of life, as well as methods for assessing it and the results of applying different methodological approaches among patients after cholecystectomy. We presented the results of analysis of 34 literary and informational foreign sources. We searched literature using the Medline database. We showed significance of assessment of patients' quality of life after cholecystectomy as an indicator of treatment effectiveness. We made a comparison of quality of life indicators after an open intervention and laparoscopic cholecystectomy and noted the advantages of the latter.
Characterization of the residues in glass bottle from the Song Dynasty by GC-QTOF---the earliest archaeological recorded ambergris at present
Authors: Ding Li , Ma Yanru , Fu Yonghai , Yang Qin , Wu Jiajia , Xie We
Published: December 2020

The organic residues in a glass bottle excavated from the Grand Baoen Temple site in the Song Dynasty, in Jiangsu Province, were studied in this paper. The Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Gas chromatography–quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-QMS) and Gas chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-QTOF-MS) were applied to characterize the material. By comparing the 7 modern collected ambergris reference samples, the residue in the bottle was identified as ambergris. The biomarker molecule ambrein was detected in the residues via solvent vent mode and the co-eluent of interferent was checked using secondary Q-TOF mode. Furthermore, the occurrence of ambergris in the underground palace demonstrates the well-developed overseas incense trade and the solemn Buddhist culture of using incense in the Song Dynasty.

Background: NUFIP1 is an RNA-binding protein that interacts with fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) in the messenger ribonucleoprotein particle (mRNP). We previously showed that NUFIP1 was upregulated in colorectal cancer (CRC), but how the protein may contribute to the disease and patient prognosis is unknown. Methods: Here we combine database analysis, microarray, quantitative PCR, and immunohistochemistry of patients' samples to confirm our previous findings on NUFIP1 overexpression in CRC, and to reveal that increased expression of NUFIP1 in CRC tissues correlated with worse overall, recurrence-free, event-free and disease-free survival in patients, as well as with more advanced CRC clinicopathological stage. Results: Loss of function analysis demonstrated that NUFIP1 knockdown suppressed cell growth in vitro and in vivo, inhibited cell viability and survival, and induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in vitro. In addition, as a natural anticancer triterpene from various fruits and vegetables, ursolic acid (UA) treatment suppressed cell proliferation, down-regulated NUFIP1 protein expression, and further enhanced the effects of NUFIP1 knockdown in CRC cells in vitro. NUFIP1 knockdown up-regulated the expression of 136 proteins, down-regulated the expression of 41 proteins, and enriched multiple signaling pathways including the senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF) pathway. Furthermore, NUFIP1 knockdown enhanced the expression of senescence-associated-β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal), the SAHF markers HP1γ and trimethylation (H3k9me3), and the senescence-related protein HMGA2. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that NUFIP1 is overexpressed in CRC and correlates with disease progression and poor patient survival. NUFIP1 may exert oncogenic effects partly by altering senescence. UA may show potential to treat CRC by down-regulating NUFIP1.
Political Pragmatics in Indonesia: Candidates, the Coalition of Political Parties and Single Candidate for Local Elections
Authors: Rosanti Ratna
Published: December 2020

Political pragmatics has become its dynamic in Local Elections. The existence of incumbent power and uneven coalition formation of parties in the election can directly reduce or eliminate the opportunity for other political parties to participate in the election. In addition to these problems, so far, candidates' nomination by political parties turns out to pay more attention to the incumbent electability or popularity of the candidates to be carried by them and without assuming to party ideology. This certainly makes the power imbalance so that candidates from political parties or coalitions of other political parties are reluctant to compete. Political parties hold a coalition to carry out the candidates for various reasons. This research article will explain political parties' pragmatics in forming a coalition and carrying a pair of candidates that gave rise to a single candidate's phenomenon. The research article begins with collecting data through a literature study and is supported by the General Elections Commission's data. To answer this phenomenon, the writer analyzes the documentation as long as the Local Elections is held simultaneously. The concept of political pragmatism is expected to explain these phenomena. This paper concludes that the pragmatic methods used by political parties in determining coalitions and candidates in the Regional Head Election are because the purpose of political parties to participate in the contestation is only a victory to gain power.
