Mast Cell Tumour and Mammary Gland Carcinoma Collision Tumour. Case report and literature review.
Authors: Rifici C , Sfacteria A , Di Giorgio S , Giambrone G , Marino G , Mazzullo G
Published: January 2023

Collision tumours are the coexistence, at the same venue, of distinct tumours not macroscopically distinguishable and consisting of two independent cell populations without histological admixture. In human medicine, collision tumours in different anatomical sites have been described. In the veterinary literature, few cases exist so far. A 12-year-old female Labrador with a mammary gland nodular lesion was presented for clinical examination. The nodule was surgically removed and underwent histological and immunohistochemical analysis. Histopathological examination revealed two distinct malignant tumours: a mammary gland carcinoma and a cutaneous mast cells tumour. To the author's knowledge, the paper reports the first case of a collision tumour composed of mammary gland neoplasia and mast cell tumour. The rising interest in collision tumours suggests widening their knowledge and setting up a multimodal approach that includes surgery and targeted therapy.
Effects of dietary aspirin supplementation on liver enzymes, immune response, cecum microflora and fatty acids profile in breast meat of broiler chickens
Authors: Tavakoli M , Bouyeh M , Seidavi A
Published: January 2023

The present study was performed to investigate the effect of dietary aspirin (A) on broilers. A completely randomized design using 120 one-day-old male broiler chicks Ross 308, three levels of aspirin (0, 50, and 100 mg/kg) was used in 4 replicates, each including 10 chicks, during 42 days. The effects of different levels of aspirin, added to a basal diet, on blood plasma parameters, liver enzymes, immune system, cecal microflora, and fatty acids profile of breast muscle of chicks were investigated. Data analysis was performed by SAS statistical software and the comparison of the means with Duncan's test. The results showed that the effects of aspirin on blood parameters, liver enzymes of broilers (except for alkaline phosphatase which significantly reduced), the humoral immune system in response to antigen injection as sheep red blood cell (SRBC), antibody titer against Newcastle and influenza virus were not significant (P≥0.05). The highest percentage of neutrophils and eosinophils was related to this treatment. Also, aspirin treatments increased numerically the levels of unsaturated fatty acids and decreased saturated fatty acids. Moreover, aspirin led to a reduction in the population of Escherichia coli. So, based on the results of the present study, the use of 100 mg/kg aspirin in the diet of broilers is recommendable.

Authors: Dikici A , Nacak B , Yel N , Zaimoğulları K , İpek G , Özer M
Published: January 2023

Kavurma is a traditional cooked ready-to-eat meat product that mainly produce in Middle East countries. In kavurma formulation, main ingredients are beef/mutton meat, beef/mutton fat and salt. In this regard, fat has high influence on product’s general characteristics. Due to increasing demand on poultry products, food industry working on novel formulations include chicken meat and chicken abdominal fat. Chicken abdominal fat is an important by-product of chicken meat industry and rich in mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids. For this reason, chicken abdominal fat could be used to improve healthier products. In this study, effects of using chicken abdominal fat (CAF) in chicken kavurma formulation as partial beef fat (BF) replacer on pH, color, textural and sensorial quality and oxidative stability during cold storage (4°C) for 3 months was studied. For this purpose, one control (C: 100% BF) sample and four modified samples, P1 (87.5% BF+12.5% CAF), P2 (75% BF+25% CAF), P3 (62.5% BF+37.5% CAF) and P4 (50% BF+50% CAF), were produced. Proximate composition and texture profile analysis of samples were determined after production whereas pH, lipid oxidation parameters, color and sensory properties of samples were performed on days 0, 30, 60 and 90. Using CAF in kavurma formulations more than 25% resulted higher pH drop during storage, and resulted lower taste and general acceptability scores compared to C samples at the end of storage. P2, P3 and P4 samples had lower TBARS value compared to C during storage period probably result of antioxidative antioxidative ingredients in chicken fed. As expected, due to the semi liquid characteristic of CAF, using this fat type resulted softer products. To sum up, using CAF as BF replacer resulted lower TBARS compared to C, but it had some negative influence on sensory and quality characteristics at high ratio.

Authors: Ismail A , Deeb A , Alhawary I , Elkassas W , Hegazy Y
Published: January 2023

Despite the existence of many different food preservation methods, foodborne pathogens are still the most common related problems to dairy products. Developing naturally alternative techniques to control such problems is necessary. This research was planned to assess the bacteriological quality of yoghurt samples commercially available in Kafr El-Sheikh city, Egypt. Also to study the impact of natural antibacterial agents on the inhibition of selected foodborne pathogens artificially inoculated in yoghurt samples. The obtained results revealed poor bacteriological quality of the examined yoghurt samples, as total staphylococci and coliforms were detected in 80% and 90% yoghurt samples, with mean values of 2.4 ×103±0.13× 103cfu/gm and 3.6×105± 2.4×105 MPN/gm, respectively. S. aureus was noticed in 4% of examined samples, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmed the pres­ence of virulence adhesion gene (clfA) in one isolate. E. coli was detected in 14% of yoghurt samples, then serologically identified as O146:H5 (2), O111:H2 (2), O125:H11 (1), O26:H10 (1) and O158:H7 (1). Artificially inoculated yoghurt with S. aureus (7.39 log cfu/gm) and E. coli (8.3 log cfu/gm), were used to investigate the ability of hen egg-white lysozyme either with LAB classic or with ABT-5 (L. acidophilus LA5+ S. thermophiles + Bifidobacterium Bb12) starter cultures to inhibit the growth of these pathogens. During refrigerated storage, all yoghurt batches showed a reduction in pH value. It was observed that both pathogens couldn't be detected in the yoghurt batch containing LAB classic starter + heated lysozyme. Furthermore, S. aureus was completely inhibited in that containing ABT-5 cultures alone, while E. coli decreased by 6.23 log. Conversely, there was not complete inhibition in other batches containing (LAB classic starter, LAB classic starter+ native lysozyme, ABT-5 culture+ native lysozyme and ABT-5 culture+ heated lysozyme) as the reduction rate during all storage periods for S. aureus count was 1.66, 2.63, 4.47  and 4.19 log, While for E. coli count was  3.3, 3.81, 5.53 and 4.89 log,  respectively. This study highlighted the importance of adding natural antibacterial agents like lysozyme with LAB culture to yoghurt as a bio-control strategy to overcome foodborne pathogens that cause a public health hazard.

Published: January 2023

Fowl aviadenovirus infections show a worldwide distribution in poultry at all ages and the incidence of the disease is increasing year after year. Most of the studies have been exhibited the situation of the disease in commercial chickens especially in broilers but there is not sufficient data to estimate in backyards. Totally 389 internal organ samples were collected from 56 flocks from suspicious backyard chickens at ages between 10-35 weeks. Samples were tested by PCR method and nucleotide sequences of hexon genes were used for phylogenetic analyses and comparing with other FAdV sequences submitted to GenBank. Of the 389 samples, 23.9% were found FAdV positive and 30.4% (17/56) of the ﬂocks sampled in the study were infected. This is the first study that was carried out in backyards and two species (D and C) and four serotypes (FAdV-8a, FAdV-3, FAdV-4, and FAdV-10) have been discovered for the first time in Turkey. To understand the epidemiology of FAdV in Turkey and to get enough information about species and serotypes further large scale national studies should be carried out to determine the severity of FAdV infections and to plan control strategies.

Authors: Bayraktar M , Hussein M , Hassan H
Published: January 2023

Echinococcus granulosus causes Cystic Echinococcosis disease in intermediate hosts, such as sheep, cattle, goats, camels, and horses. Cystic Echinococcosis is an essential parasitic zoonosis that affects humans and animals and is a significant public health and economic problem worldwide. This study aimed to determine the molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of Echinococcus granulosus in sheep's livers and lungs. The genetic variation was performed by directly sequencing the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genes coding of the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (ND1). The evidence from molecular studies and DNA sequencing revealed that the Isolates of Echinococcus granulosus in Kirkuk city related to the sheep strain G1 genotype. The alignment analysis showed a concordance between isolates with each other by 99%. When comparing the results with Genbank, it indicated the occurrence of genetic variations between nucleotides represented by eleven codons, seven of which represent transversion mutations, and four are transition mutations.
Molecular diagnosis of peste des petits ruminants virus (PPR) in goats and sheep populations
Authors: Abdel-Rady A
Published: January 2023

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an economically important viral disease of goats and sheep. The disease is confused clinically with other infections such as the mild strain of rinderpest in small ruminants. Effective control measures for PPR need that a proper and rapid diagnostic technique of disease. Therefore, the use of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect suspected field samples collected from diseased goats and sheep in Dammam city, Kingdom of Saudia Arabia (KSA) has helped to give an effective diagnosis that was needed to control measure of the spread of the disease. This assay is based on the rapid purification of RNA on glass beads followed by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The primers (NP3/NP4) were used to amplify specifically a fragment of about 350 bp, that technique has a more specific and sensitive method for rapid diagnosis of disease.Key words: Peste des petits ruminants virus; reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction; diagnosis; goats; sheep

Introduction
Court of Justice of the European Union and General Court: Binding effect and relationship with the precedent vertical
Authors: Anastasopoulos Georgios
Published: January 2023

The precedent vertical through the analysis of the delimitation of the binding effect of the precedent of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) towards the Tribunal is the key theme of analysis of this research. A definition of the precedent vertical is sought in common law traditions, as well as the obligation of a judge to abide by the CJEU decision already formulated. The hierarchical relationship through the CJEU and the General Court (GC) but also of the relative jurisprudence are also further points of analysis of this work. The statutory rules require the GC to comply with the decisions taken by the CJEU as well as the occasions in which the GC has shown to comply with the provisions of the CJEU, in the absence of a legal obligation and in an attempt to outline the possible existence of a clear and precise doctrine of the preceding vertical in the order of the European Union.
Court of Justice of the European Union, European Court of Human Rights, respect for human rights and restrictive sanctions
Authors: Taylor Robert
Published: January 2023

With a comparative way and the help of jurisprudence from various courts at the supranational level, it is intended to analyze and interpret a competitive approach between different jurisprudences that come from different Courts but having an element in comunis the smart sanctions against subjects who have suffered freezing of assets and confiscation. On the one hand we have the system of the UN with its own resolutions that put at the forefront the sanctions against subjects that disturb international peace and security. On the other hand we have the UN which speaks of a system of restrictive sanctions which aims to fill the gaps at an international level and follow a more authentic path sometimes through its own jurisprudence and above all to protect not only human rights but also the acts of the own institutions. Last but not least we have the race of the European Court for Human Rights (ECtHR) which puts first of all the system of protection of human rights by giving pushes forward and in the past influencing the judgments of the CJEU where with a decisive way it finalizes a protection that differs from the system of the UN but it is always oriented and faithful to the legal situations of individual subjects who have rightly or not suffered sanctions.
The potency of a free maternal healthcare policy in achieving universal health coverage a cross-sectional qualitative study
Authors: Twum Peter , Besseah Yeboah Eric , Agyei-Baffour Peter , Akohene Mensah Kofi
Published: January 2023

Background: The main focus of Ghana’s free maternal healthcare policy under the national health insurance scheme was to reduce the maternal mortality ratio.

Aim: This study aims at ascertaining the potency of this policy in the achievement of universal health coverage in Ghana.

Method: A cross-sectional qualitative study was conducted in the Bibiani-Anwiaso-Bekwai Municipality from June to December 2021 among women in their reproductive age (15-49 years) to ascertain how the policy has enhanced women’s access to maternal healthcare thereby facilitating the attainment of universal health coverage. Written informed consent and permission to participate in the study was obtained from each participant. In the case of those under 18 years, consent was sought from their parents/guardians A multistage sampling technique was used to select districts, health facilities and study participants. Focus group discussion and four key informants interviews were conducted among two nurses and two midwives who were selected using purposive sampling. The data obtained from respondent was analysed using content analysis.

Results: Generally the women included in this study were knowledgeable about the policy as they recounted that, through the policy, health services they could not afford before are now accessible without any financial constraints. This means that the policy has provided many women and neonates access to maternal healthcare and healthcare in general and therefore has contributed to the attainment of universal health coverage in the municipality.

Conclusions: The policy has provided financial access to women in maternal healthcare in particular and healthcare in general. This shows that the policy has a strong potential to contribute to the attainment of universal health coverage in the municipality and the country at large. Therefore, women should be encouraged to subscribe to the health insurance policy
Entre la tradition sénégalaise et le néo-colonialisme français : l’oppression systématique des jeunes filles dans La nuit est tombée sur Dakar d’Aminata Zaaria
Authors: Swoboda Anna
Published: January 2023

Between Senegalese tradition and French neo-colonialism: Systematic oppression of young girls in La nuit est tombée sur Dakar by Aminata Zaaria. The purpose of this article is to examine the systematic, intercultural oppression of young girls in La nuit est tombée sur Dakar, a 2004 novel by the Senegalese author Aminata Zaaria. Her female protagonists, two seventeenyear- olds, subject themselves to sexual exploitation by white men in order to escape poverty. In their birthplace, the village of Lëndëm (‘darkness’ in Wolof, the most commonly spoken language in Senegal), the girls are forced into traditional gender roles from a very young age, i.e. their sexuality is strictly controlled by men. This environment is, however, influenced by the Western way of life: on TV and in glossy magazines, Europe is presented as a paradise on earth. Dakar, viewed by the elder inhabitants of Lëndëm as a “cursed city”, is a place where white men have all the power and, just as in colonial times, they use it in order to sexually abuse African women. By analysing traditional society from a sociological perspective (based on the works of Abdoulaye Bara Diop and Rosalie Aduyai Diop), as well as by applying the postcolonial and psychological theoretical framework to the dynamics presented in the text, this paper strives to demonstrate that it is difficult to speak of “freedom of choice” in the case of a vulnerable, traumatised subject. For both protagonists, this “disguised prostitution” is a survival strategy, going beyond a simple materialism: they are led to believe that it is a small price to pay for a better life. The article presents intercultural oppression as a double-edged sword in that in every environment, young girls are treated as mere objects, expected to silently play their roles.
The Collective Memory and its Transformations: The Great War and the Battle for Independence in Lithuania (1914–1920)
Authors: Žmuida Eugenijus
Published: January 2023

The author aims to discuss three topics using the memory research method. The first part discusses construction of the imagined community and collective memory of 19th century Lithuanian intellectuals in a country where education in the national language, and the printing of books and papers, were banned. The second part of the article presents the impact of the Great War and the struggle for independence on collective memory as revealed in memoirs written in the 1914–1940 period by fighters on the front lines, refugees, intellectuals, and people in the occupied country. The third part discusses the extinction of the Great War and the battle for independence from collective memory as a natural and specially constructed phenomenon, caused by the Soviet regime.
L’implicite dans la traduction : une étude de cas portant sur Récifs de Romesh Gunesekera. La traduction de la culture sri lankaise en français
Authors: Gunasekera Niroshini , Meristo Merilyn
Published: January 2023

The Implicit in Translation: A Case Study of Récifs by Romesh Gunesekera. Translating Sri Lankan Culture to French. This article aims to shed light on how the translator of Reef, a novel written by the Sri Lankan author Romesh Gunesekera, has dealt with culture-specific lexis originating from the Sri Lankan context. We chose this novel because it contains many references to Sri Lankan culture. The terms referring to Sri Lankan realities appear in names of Sinhala or sometimes Tamil origin. First, we will assess whether the French translation utilised a source-oriented or target-oriented translation approach. Secondly, we will work on the strategy of literal translation, focusing on translating the implicit. Thirdly, we will see the use of the Sri Lankan English language as it appears in the original novel. The author of the novel voluntarily chose the ‘Sri Lankan English’ register to remain in the local context. Are there traces of these linguistic nuances in the French translation or did the translator decide to choose the register of contemporary standard French? Our findings suggest that the translation of Reef follows a source oriented approach and succeeds in referring to local realities of Sri Lanka, maintaining specific Sri Lankan terms, which in most cases become comprehensible in the context.
Złoto i popiół. Śledztwo archiwalne i interpretacyjne w sprawie wspomnienia paryskiego Leo Lipskiego
Authors: Wierzejska Jagoda
Published: January 2023

Artykuł prezentuje historię powstania, analizę tkanki tekstowej oraz interpretację treści wspomnienia paryskiego Leo Lipskiego, zatytułowanego Paryż ze złota. Wspomnienie było zapisem doświadczeń autora, związanych z jego podróżą z Tel Awiwu do Paryża w 1975 r. Punktem wyjścia artykułu jest porównanie maszynopisu utworu, wysłanego Jerzemu Giedroyciowi w 1976 r., z wersją opublikowaną w roku 2002. W tym pierwszym zwracają uwagę korekty, a zwłaszcza skreślenia związane ze stanem zdrowia Lipskiego, dotkniętego prawostronnym paraliżem oraz afazją. Analiza owych skreśleń stanowi asumpt do interpretacji utworu. Artykuł prezentuje dwa komplementarne odczytania tekstu. Pierwsze, jasne (jego metaforą jest złoto), ogniskuje się wokół radości autora, który wyjeżdżając do Paryża, spełnił swoje marzenie, oraz wspomnień jego szczęśliwej młodości w Krakowie w latach 30. XX w. Drugie odczytanie, ciemne (jego metaforą jest popiół), śledzi ukryty tanatyczny wątek wspomnienia, w którym dochodzą do głosu przeżycia wojenne pisarza. Celem artykułu jest pokazanie, w jaki sposób przymus powtarzania traumatycznych przeżyć splata się we wspomnieniu z literackimi próbami ich cofnięcia i powrotu do szczęśliwej przeszłości.
„Toń morza gdzie ludzie giną... albo nie” – formy zaniku w prozie Leo Lipskiego
Authors: Brylak Andrzej
Published: January 2023

W artykule autor podejmuje analizę niepublikowanego wcześniej schematu mikropowieści Leo Lipskiego Piotruś. Najprawdopodobniej schemat został opracowany przez Łucję Gliksman. Autor przedstawia hipotezy dotyczące genezy tego dokumentu i umieszcza go w szerszym kontekście biografii i twórczości Lipskiego. W drugiej części artykułu, posługując się schematem jako punktem wyjścia, przedstawia proces przejścia zanikającego, wertykalnego „Ja” do horyzontalnej sfery bytu. Terminy te, inspirowane filozofią Heideggerowską, autor artykułu wprowadza celem ukazania struktury charakteryzującej dzieła Lipskiego z różnych etapów twórczości. W analizie ontologicznej natury pisarstwa Lipskiego, kluczowa okazuje się myśl Martina Heideggera, filozofa znanego i bliskiego Lipskiemu, w szczególności jednak jest to koncepcja Gelassenheit, której Lipski nie mógł znać na etapie pisania Piotrusia.

Semantyka dźwięku w „Piotrusiu” Leo Lipskiego
Authors: Tarnowska Beata
Published: January 2023

Tematem artykułu jest przestrzeń foniczna ukazana w Piotrusiu Leo Lipskiego i będąca przedmiotem słuchowej percepcji tytułowego bohatera-narratora. Jej charakterystyczną cechą jest wzajemne przenikanie się dźwięków pochodzących zarówno ze świata natury, jak i ze świata ludzkiego, w tym także tych, które mają charakter słuchowych halucynacji Piotrusia. Hałas nieodłącznie związany z codzienną aktywnością mieszkańców Tel Awiwu (a sygnalizujący zarówno witalność, jak i przemoc), przeciwstawiony zostaje nocnej ciszy, która staje się tłem dla nawet najlżejszych dźwięków pochodzących ze świata przyrody. Niemniej jednak pejzaż dźwiękowy, ukazany w prozie Lipskiego, nawiązuje do semantyki, która wyraźnie wykracza poza czysto słuchowe doświadczenie. Podczas gdy cisza, przerywana łagodnym szelestem bądź szmerem, łączy się z poczuciem spokoju, intymności oraz piękna natury, przywołany w zakończeniu powieści całkowity brak dźwięków sygnalizuje martwotę, pustkę, nicość i śmierć.

Nobility, kinship and memory in Santa Eufemia de Cozuelos, the first female convent of the Military Order of Santiago
Authors: Ferrer-Vidal Díaz del Riguero Maria Soledad
Published: January 2023

This paper refers to the noble patronage around Santa Eufemia de Cozuelos, the first female house of the Military Order of Santiago since 1186, based in the north of the Kingdom of Castile, during the second half of the thirteenth century. This patronage provided the convent with funerary spaces to perpetuate the memory of some noble Castilian and Leonese families whose members effected important land donations to the monastery, thus assuring prayers for the salvation of their souls.
Unlike the vast majority of the many female monastic houses founded in the kingdoms of Castile and León in the Middle Ages, the lack of aristocratic founders, patrons or benefactors in all the female Jacobean convents in Castile and León since their founding until the second half of the thirteenth century, Santa Eufemia among them, is striking.
The subject of this paper aims to determine how the Military Order of Santiago managed to attract to its first female house a whole group of noble lineages. The patronage of these noble families along the second half of the thirteenth century provided the Jacobean monastery with the noble prestige that many other Castilian female convents had from their origin and of which Santa Eufemia lacked, and furthermore, also provided the Jacobean convent with the most relevant territorial expansion of its monastic domain, precisely along this same period. A detailed revision of the available source material and bibliography allowed us to put together enough information to follow and verify this process.
DÉBORA ARANGO, UN REFERENTE DEL EXPRESIONISMO Y EL FEMINISMO EN LA PLÁSTICA COLOMBIANA.
Authors: Bautista Santos Sandra Patricia
Published: January 2023

Débora Arango ha sido reconocida como una de las artistas más destacadas en la plástica colombiana del siglo XX. Aunque su obra actualmente es considerada un referente importante de la irrupción de la noción vanguardista en Colombia, entre las décadas de los años 30´s y 70´s en las que fue gestada la parte más significativa de su producción, paradójicamente fue condenada a la invisibilidad y censura. Debido, por un lado, al enfoque crítico e incisivo de sus planteamientos frente a aspectos hegemónicos como: la religión, la política y la sociedad; temas y posiciones que no se consideraban propias de una mujer, rebasando convenciones de género y, por otro lado, a su manejo técnico altamente expresionista y trasgresor de los valores academicistas. En este artículo, se harán mención de algunos aspectos biográficos relevantes, el tratamiento crítico dado a su obra desde su invisibilidad hasta su reconocimiento y asimismo al trasfondo iconográfico y crítico de algunas de sus obras.

REDES Y RELACIONES DE PODER LOCAL PARA EL CARGO DE SUBDELEGADO DE TEQUILA EN LA INTENDENCIA DE GUADALAJARA, 1788-1790.
Authors: Gutiérrez Lorenzo María Pilar
Published: January 2023

El presente trabajo estudia las particularidades del último corregidor de Tequila, Francisco Cárdenas, para hacerse con el nombramiento de primer subdelegado de esta jurisdicción de la intendencia de Guadalajara al momento de la aplicación de la Ordenanza de Intendentes en la Nueva España en 1786. Lo anterior con el fundamento de haber salido sin cargo alguno en el juicio de residencia que se le realizó, pero sobre todo basándose en una real cédula de Su Majestad donde se indicaba que se le diera preferencia a quienes habían tenido “buen desempeño” y “acreditada conducta”. El seguimiento de estos hechos a nivel local nos pone frente a una escala de análisis que permite apreciar otros elementos a los hasta el momento estudiados sobre el nombramiento de los subdelegados y su idoneidad para el cargo.

Actos de habla indirectos y su interpretación en el marco prosódico y gestual en interacciones en español de aprendices rusos
Authors: Sarymsakova Albina
Published: January 2023

El objetivo de esta comunicación es hacer una aproximación a la interpretación de los actos de habla indirectos producidos por las hablantes rusas en interacciones comunicativas en español. Dicha interpretación se realizará en función del significado semántico-pragmático que se construye a través de la interacción de los recursos discursivos, la prosodia y el gesto. Se trata de la identificación de dichos actos de habla en la interacción mediante los rasgos característicos de gestos y prosodia, que definimos a lo largo del presente trabajo. La interpretación de los actos de habla indirectos pretende resolver varios problemas en el marco de la comunicación intercultural: A) evitar los malentendidos comunicativos; B) alcanzar los objetivos comunicativos; C) resolver conflictos comunicativos.
Syllabe Contraction in Spanish dialects and B2 level Hungarian leaners of Spanish
Authors: Kovács Dorottya
Published: January 2023

In this study, we analyze the so-called “syllable contraction”, that is, the reduction of a sequence of two identical vowels to the duration of a single sound, across word boundaries. We investigate the phenomenon in the semi-spontaneous speech of speakers of the following dialects of Spanish: Madrilenian, Andalusian, Mexican and Rioplatense. Furthermore, we compare their results with the oral (also semi-spontaneous) production of B2 (CEFR) level Hungarian learners of Spanish. We raise the following research hypotheses: (i) syllable contraction is a common phenomenon in all of the four analyzed dialects; however, (ii) it does not appear (or only occasionally) in the speech of the Hungarian learners. For our analysis, we used fifty recordings (interviews) of ninety-nine minutes in total, and we examined them in the phonetic-acoustic software Praat. Our results support both of the hypotheses partially: (i) syllable contraction appears in all of the analyzed dialects, but only in less than half of the cases; (ii) although the phenomenon appears in the oral production of the Hungarian learners, we found only one example of syllable contraction in the Hungarian informants’ speech.
Portable widefield fundus camera with high dynamic range imaging capability

Fundus photography is indispensable for the clinical detection and management of eye diseases. Low image contrast and small field of view (FOV) are common limitations of conventional fundus photography, making it difficult to detect subtle abnormalities at the early stages of eye diseases. Further improvements in image contrast and FOV coverage are important for early disease detection and reliable treatment assessment. We report here a portable, wide FOV fundus camera with high dynamic range (HDR) imaging capability. Miniaturized indirect ophthalmoscopy illumination was employed to achieve the portable design for nonmydriatic, widefield fundus photography. Orthogonal polarization control was used to eliminate illumination reflectance artifacts. With independent power controls, three fundus images were sequentially acquired and fused to achieve HDR function for local image contrast enhancement. A 101° eye-angle (67° visual-angle) snapshot FOV was achieved for nonmydriatic fundus photography. The effective FOV was readily expanded up to 190° eye-angle (134° visual-angle) with the aid of a fixation target without the need for pharmacologic pupillary dilation. The effectiveness of HDR imaging was validated with both normal healthy and pathologic eyes, compared to a conventional fundus camera.
Collision dynamics of a discrete soliton in uniform waveguide arrays
Authors: Lara Anuj P. , Roy Samudra
Published: January 2023

We investigate the collision dynamics of a discrete soliton (DS) pair in a realistic
semi-infinite nonlinear waveguide array (WA) in the context of diffractive resonant radiation (DifRR).
Depending on the initial amplitude (

A
0

) and wavenumber (

k
0

), a co-moving pair of identical DSs
either collide elastically or merge to form a discrete breather. For a large amplitude and small
wavenumber, DSs do not interact to form a bound state. We map the
domain of interaction by iterative simulation and present a phase plot
in (

A
0

−

k
0

) parameter space. To grasp the
collision dynamics, we develop an analytical treatment based on a
variational method that leads us to a set of ordinary differential
equations describing the collision mechanism. Our analytical results
corroborate our numerical data. We further investigate the role of
initial phase detuning between two identical DSs and observe a
periodic energy exchange during their interaction. A varied degree of
energy exchange occurs when two DSs with different wavenumbers
collide, which results in three distinct output states accompanied by
DifRR generation. Extending our investigation to a more generalized
condition by taking a nonidentical DS pair, we find unique secondary
radiation in -space that originates due to the interaction of DSs
during collision. The nature of this collision mediated secondary
radiation is found to be different from usual DifRR. Our results shed
light on the interesting aspects of the collision dynamics of a DS
pair in a nonlinear WA and are useful in understanding the
complex mechanism.
Metasurfaces enabled polarization-multiplexing heralded single photon imaging

Published: January 2023

Quantum imaging has non-negligible advantages in terms of sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio, and novel imaging schemes. Based on metasurfaces, the information density and stability of the quantum imaging system can be further improved. Here we experimentally demonstrate that two patterns, simultaneously and independently superimposed on a high-efficiency dielectric metasurface, can be remotely switched via polarization-entangled photon pairs. Furthermore, using the time-correlated property of entangled photon pairs, the information carried by quantum light can be remarkably discriminated from background noise. This work confirms that the phase manipulation of quantum light with metasurfaces has a huge potential in the field of quantum imaging, quantum state tomography, and also promises real-world quantum metasurface devices.
Rac1 controls cell turnover and reversibility of the involution process in postpartum mammary glands

Published: January 2023

Cell turnover in adult tissues is essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis over a life span and for inducing the morphological changes associated with the reproductive cycle. However, the underlying mechanisms that coordinate the balance of cell death and proliferation remain unsolved. Using the mammary gland, we have discovered that Rac1 acts as a nexus to control cell turnover. Postlactational tissue regression is characterised by the death of milk secreting alveoli, but the process is reversible within the first 48 h if feeding recommences. In mice lacking epithelial Rac1, alveolar regression was delayed. This defect did not result from failed cell death but rather increased cell turnover. Fitter progenitor cells inappropriately divided, regenerating the alveoli, but cell death also concomitantly accelerated. We discovered that progenitor cell hyperproliferation was linked to nonautonomous effects of Rac1 deletion on the macrophageal niche with heightened inflammation. Moreover, loss of Rac1 impaired cell death with autophagy but switched the cell death route to apoptosis. Finally, mammary gland reversibility failed in the absence of Rac1 as the alveoli failed to recommence lactation upon resuckling.
Disentangling the complex gene interaction networks between rice and the blast fungus identifies a new pathogen effector

Studies focused solely on single organisms can fail to identify the networks underlying host–pathogen gene-for-gene interactions. Here, we integrate genetic analyses of rice (Oryza sativa, host) and rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe oryzae, pathogen) and uncover a new pathogen recognition specificity of the rice nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat protein (NLR) immune receptor Pik, which mediates resistance to M. oryzae expressing the avirulence effector gene AVR-Pik. Rice Piks-1, encoded by an allele of Pik-1, recognizes a previously unidentified effector encoded by the M. oryzae avirulence gene AVR-Mgk1, which is found on a mini-chromosome. AVR-Mgk1 has no sequence similarity to known AVR-Pik effectors and is prone to deletion from the mini-chromosome mediated by repeated Inago2 retrotransposon sequences. AVR-Mgk1 is detected by Piks-1 and by other Pik-1 alleles known to recognize AVR-Pik effectors; recognition is mediated by AVR-Mgk1 binding to the integrated heavy metal-associated (HMA) domain of Piks-1 and other Pik-1 alleles. Our findings highlight how complex gene-for-gene interaction networks can be disentangled by applying forward genetics approaches simultaneously to the host and pathogen. We demonstrate dynamic coevolution between an NLR integrated domain and multiple families of effector proteins.
