Autonomy-Supportive Classroom Climate in Mixed-Grade Classes in a Japanese Elementary School
Authors: Okada Ryo
Published: June 2021

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an autonomy-supportive classroom climate on intrinsic motivation in mixed-grade classes. A total of 398 children (eight to twelve years old) in a Japanese elementary school participated in a questionnaire study with two measurement occasions. Path analysis revealed that perceived autonomy-supportive classroom climate was related to perceived active participation structure, which, in turn, was related to intrinsic motivation. The effects of perceived autonomy-supportive classroom climate on intrinsic motivation were mediated by the perceived active participation structure. These relationships did not vary with the children’s grades. These results suggest that an autonomy-supportive classroom climate promotes children’s intrinsic motivation in mixed-grade classes.
Flat Specimen Shape Recognition Based on Full-Field Optical Measurements and Registration Using Mapping Error Minimization Method
Authors: Maček Andraž , Urevc Janez , Halilovič Miroslav
Published: June 2021

In the paper, an alignment methodology of finite element and full-field measurement data of planar specimens is presented. The alignment procedure represents an essential part of modern material response characterisation using heterogeneous strain-field specimens. The methodology addresses both the specimen recognition from a measurement’s image and the alignment procedure and is designed to be applied on a single measurement system. This is essential for its practical application because both processes, shape recognition and alignment, must be performed only after the specimen is fully prepared for the digital image correlation (DIC) measurements (white background and black speckles) and placed into a testing machine. The specimen can be observed with a single camera or with a multi-camera system. The robustness of the alignment method is presented on a treatment of a specimen with a metamaterial-like structure and compared with the well-known iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm. The performance of the methodology is also demonstrated on a real DIC application.
Risk-adjusted Social Discount Rates
Authors: Cherbonnier Frederic , Gollier Christian
Published: June 2021

When evaluating public and private investment projects, those that contribute more to the collective risk should be more penalized through an upward adjustment of their discount rate. This paper shows how to estimate the risk-adjusted discount rate for different projects, with applications to the electricity sector. Using the standard framework of consumer theory, we express any investment project’s beta in terms of the easier-to-measure price and income elasticities of the goods generated by the project. When considering an investment in production capacity, the beta has a flat term structure, and is positive (negative) for normal (inferior) goods. When considering core infrastructures carrying goods or services, such as energy transmission and distribution assets, the beta has a decreasing term structure with very high values at short horizons for infrastructures facing capacity constraints. We provide a real-case example of a cross-border electricity connection with negative beta for the exporting country.

Published: June 2021

The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global pandemic with rapid rate of transmission and fatalities worldwide. Scientists have been investigating a host of drugs that may be rechanneled to fight this malaise. Thus, in this current computational study we carried out molecular docking experiments to assess the bridging potentials of some commercial drugs such as chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir, ritonavir, nafamostat, camostat, famotidine, umifenovir, nitazoxanide, ivermectin, and fluvoxamine at the interface between human ACE2 and the coronavirus spike glycoprotein complex. This is aimed at ascertaining the ability of these drugs to bridge and prevent the complexing of these two proteins. The crystal structure of human ACE2 and the coronavirus spike glycoprotein complex was retrieved from protein database, while the selected drugs were retrieved from PubChem data base. The proteins and drugs were prepared for docking using Cresset Flare software. The docking was completed via AutoDock Vina module in Python Prescription software. The best hit drugs with each receptor were selected and their molecular interactions were analyzed using BIOVIA’s Discovery Studio 2020. The best hit compounds on the human ACE2 were the lopinavir (-10.1 kcal/mol), ritonavir (-8.9 kcal/mol), and nafamostat (-8.7 kcal/mol). Ivermectin, nafamostat, and camostat with binding energy values -9.0 kcal/mol, -7.8 kcal/mol, and -7.4 kcal/mol respectively were the hit drugs on the coronavirus spike glycoprotein. Nafamostat showed a dual bridging potential against ACE2 and spike glycoprotein, and could therefore be a promising lead compound in the prevention and control of this disease.

Published: June 2021

The pharmacovigilance has been evolved as a professional and ethical practice in ensuring the safety of medicines. The Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) associated with the use of medicines including Anti-Tuberculous Therapy (ATT) through a robust system of pharmacovigilance helps in promoting the safety of patients at large. The occurrence of ADRs associated with the use of ATT is expected, a large number of medicines are combined and used for prolonged duration. The suspected ADRs associated with first line ATT are well documented. However, the drugs used in second line or multidrug resistant to tuberculosis (TB), namely bedaquiline, reported to cause QT prolongation in electrocardiogram reading as one of the most common ADRs. Therefore, early identification and prevention of ADRs during ATT is essential for promoting the rational use and reduce the burden of anti-microbial resistance, besides achieving better treatment outcomes.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to review master's dissertations of medical education graduates in the virtual school of medical education and management of shahid Beheshti University of Medical Science in the years 2011 to 2016. Methods: In this study, 144 master's dissertations of medical education students graduated in 2011 - 2016 from the virtual school of medical education and management of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Science were evaluated. Using an information checklist, relevant data were extracted from the dissertations. The topics of these dissertations were categorized into nine general categories. Also, we also reviewed the journals in which the articles extracted from the dissertations were published. Results: Overall, 74 MSc. dissertations in medical education (2011 to 2016) in the Virtual Faculty of Medical Education and Management of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences were evaluated, and the relevant journals in which the extracted articles were published were also reviewed. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the tendency of students for conducting descriptive studies and using questionnaires was significantly higher, ignoring other research methods. This issue needs to be evaluated, and authorities should determine relevant causes to help planning and to create more diversity in the types of studies in this field. Also, due to the non-allocation of dissertations to some subject areas, such as reviewing and analyzing processes, there is a need to prioritize this topic when selecting future dissertations’ subjects and appropriately direct students to achieve the desired situation.

Fully Integrated Fluid-structural Analysis for the Design and Performance Optimization of Fiber Reinforced Sails
Authors: Malpede Sabrina , MacVicar Donald , Nasato Francesco , Semeraro Paolo
Published: June 2021

This paper presents an advanced and accurate integrated system for the design and performance optimization of fiber reinforced sails -commonly named string sails- developed by SMAR Azure Ltd. This integrated design system allows sail designers not only to design sail-shapes and the reinforcing fiber paths, but also to validate the performance of the flying sail-shape and have accurate production details including the overall sail weight, material used, which means costs, and length of the fiber paths, which means production time. The SMAR Azure design and analysis method includes a validated and computationally efficient structural analysis method coupled with a modified vortex lattice method, with wake relaxation, to enable a proper aero-elastic simulation of sails in upwind conditions. The structural analysis method takes into account the geometric non-linearity and wrinkling behavior of membrane structures –such as sails-, the fiber layout, the influence of battens, trimming loads and interaction with rigging elements, e.g. luff sag calculation on a headstay, in a timely manner. This method has been extensively validated and used to optimize several racing and super-yachts sailing plans. Specifically, this paper presents a validated optimization of a real fiber reinforce membrane sail plan of 140’, 240 ton aluminium Super Yacht, carried out in collaboration with Paolo Semeraro (from Banks Sails Europe), who designs and produces the MEMBRANE™ and BFAST™ string sails, the latter with Marco Semeraro. Both BFAST and Bank Sails have been using the SMAR Azure technology for almost a decade and notwithstanding the long experience of Mr. Semeraro in using the technology, given the sailplan-size and detailed customer requirements, among which improved durability, strength and reliability and smooth use of in-boom furling, this project was carried out incooperation with the SMAR Azure technical team. A total of 1000 sqm of upwind sailing area was analyzed and optimized. A combination of Dyneema TM Sk 90 and black Twaron 2200 was chosen for the fibers and a triple step lamination under hi-pressure plus laminated patches utilizing the same fibers where added to prevent local deformation of the corners. A long term vacuumed post-curing period sealed the production phases. The final sail plan is -as anticipated by the analysis results- holds the desired shape and is stronger. The final fiber layout shows a reduction in maximum stress by 22% compared to the initial design; this was achieved with only 11% (4kg) gain in fiber weight.

Published: June 2021

The paper presents an overview of a joint project developed among Politecnico di Milano, CSEM and North Sails, aiming at developing a new sail pressure measurement system based on MEMS sensors (an excellent compromise between size, performance, costs and operational conditions) and pressure strips and pads technology. These devices were designed and produced to give differential measurement between the leeward and windward side of the sails. The project has been developed within the Lecco Innovation Hub Sailing Yacht Lab, a 10 m length sailing dynamometer which intend to be the reference contemporary full scale measurement device in the sailing yacht engineering research field, to enhance the insight of sail steady and unsteady aerodynamics [1].

The pressure system is described in details as well as the data acquisition process and system metrological validation is provided; furthermore, some results obtained during a wind tunnel campaign carried out at Politecnico di Milano Wind Tunnel, as a benchmark of the whole measuring system for future full scale application, are reported and discussed in details. Moreover, the system configuration for full scale testing, which is still under development, is also described.

The Copy Effect in Translation: On Formal Similarity and the Book Historic
Perspective
Authors: Fraser Ryan
Published: June 2021

This study takes up the perspective of material book history to revisit the
paradox of identity and difference that has always been central to translation. I
will argue here that a cognitive effect of identity in translation—which I am
calling the “copy effect”—remains to be grappled with theoretically in its own
right, and that contemporary theory has generally used the idea of “identity” in
translation as a mute antithesis from which to repel with discourse privileging
variance and difference. My goal here is to talk about the identity inherent in any
translation, and the powerful effect of formal identity that a good number of
translations display. First, I will address the paradox itself. Then I will draw
attention to the material side of the verbal and linguistic and make a sharp
distinction between two types of “form” that textual discourse can take: (1) a
“stylistic form” that is qualitative and that translators feel free to vary; and (2)
a “Pythagorean form” that is primarily quantitative and derived from textual
materiality, and that translators tend to map over with a stricter attention to
invariance. Translation scholars, we will see, have been reluctant to distinguish
between these two types of form, which has resulted in denials and elisions
conflicting with the material evidence of translation. Then I will pursue this
material perspective on translation and seek out discourse situating a “copy effect”
historically and culturally. This will lead to a discussion of Rita Copeland’s
connection between translation and the classical and medieval copia
verborum. Finally, I will enter into a new line of reflection opened by
Anthony Pym, and propose that through the copia verborum and its historic
and contemporary use in construing literalist translations, a compelling analogy can
be drawn between medieval translation practices and modern-day digital ones using
translation memories.

Published: June 2021

Овај рад испитује однос између тренда урбане декаденције и урбанистичког планирања путем анализе различитих концептуализација овог феномена у планским документима и његове даље интерпретације у различитим визијама и стратегијама просторног планирања за градове у декаденцији. Сходно томе, развијена је квалитативна анализа садржаја осамнаест интегралних планова за градове у декаденцији смјештене у “Појасу рђе”, како би се идентификовала актуелна дефиниција и контекстуализација процеса урбане декаденције у Сједињеним Америчким Државама. Тврдимо да су постојеће нејасноће на нивоу политика довеле до различитих и недосљедних планских настојања да се адекватно ријеши проблем урбане декаденције, што ограничава усвајање јасних стратегија на урбаном нивоу. Анализа такође показује како појам сталног раста и даље доминира у традиционалним визијама развоја америчких градова Појаса рђе. У раду је закључено да је, за схватање и суочавање са трендом смањења урбанизације, важно промовисати појаву декаденције градова као текућег и трајног процеса који захтијева просторно планирање базирано на цјеловитом приступу рјешавању проблема.

УЛОГА МУЛТИНАЦИОНАЛНИХ КОРПОРАЦИЈА У ПРИМЕНИ КОНЦЕПТА ЗЕЛЕНЕ ПРОИЗВОДЊЕ У ИНДУСТРИЈИ ЦЕМЕНТА
Authors: Петровић-Ранђеловић Марија

Концепт корпоративне еколошке одговорности се недовољно примењује у земљама у развоју, посебно у оним у којима не постоји довољна примена законских прописа у области заштите животне средине која регулише начин обављања пословних активности учесника. У условима недовољне подршке државе, многе мултинационалне корпорације у сарадњи са Светским пословним саветом за одрживи развој су покренуле колективне акције како би усвојиле најбоље еколошке праксе у својим индустријама у циљу боље заштите окружења у којем се налазе. Реч је о усвајању зелених програма , и то је карактеристично за корпорације у индустрији цемента која се суочава са бројним изазовима као што су: недостатак сировина, исцрпљивање резерви фосилних горива, повећана потражња за цементом и бетоном, изражена еколошка брига повезана са климатским променама. Могуће је идентификовати неколико различитих облика добровољних иницијатива путем којих мултинационалне корпорације настоје да постигну што повољнији положај на глобалном тржишту, и то су: (1) једностране иницијативе покренуте од стране предузећа у одсуству државне подршке, (2) усвајање еколошких стандарда на добровољној бази који су прописани од стране државе, и (3) споразуми у виду партнерстава настали као резултат сарадње јавних и приватних учесника. У раду је дат осврт на поједине мултинационалне корпорације из афричке државе Мароко и на начин на који оне усвајају најбоље еколошке праксе од других корпорација у индустрији цемента. Усвојене еколошке праксе могу повећати капацитете ових корпорација у домену заштите животне средине, и обезбедити им комуникационе вештине које ће унапредити сарадњу и размену идеја са другим корпорацијама.
Fungal Lung: The Risk of Fungal Exposure to Nail Care Professionals
Authors: Gupta Aditya K. , Quinlan Emma M
Published: June 2021

Foot and nail care specialists spend a great portion of their day using nail drills to reduce nail thickness and smooth foot callouses. This process generates a large amount of dust, some of which is small enough to breathe in and deposit into the deepest regions of the respiratory tract, potentially causing health problems. Foot and nail dust often contain fungi, from both fungally-infected and healthy-looking nails. While the majority of healthy individuals can tolerate inhaled fungi, the immune systems of older, immunocompromised, and allergy-prone individuals often react using the inflammatory TH2 pathway, leading to mucus overproduction, bronchoconstriction, and, in severe cases, lung tissue damage. To protect vulnerable podiatry professionals, wearing a surgical mask, using a water spray suppression system on nail drills, installing air filtration systems, and considering drilling technique can help reduce the exposure to nail dust.

Lineage transformation between lung cancer subtypes is a poorly understood phenomenon associated with resistance to treatment and poor patient outcomes. Here, we aimed to model this transition to define underlying biological mechanisms and identify potential avenues for therapeutic intervention. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is neuroendocrine in identity and, in contrast to non-SCLC (NSCLC), rarely contains mutations that drive the MAPK pathway. Likewise, NSCLCs that transform to SCLC concomitantly with development of therapy resistance downregulate MAPK signaling, suggesting an inverse relationship between pathway activation and lineage state. To test this, we activated MAPK in SCLC through conditional expression of mutant KRAS or EGFR, which revealed suppression of the neuroendocrine differentiation program via ERK. We found that ERK induces the expression of ETS factors that mediate transformation into a NSCLC-like state. ATAC-seq demonstrated ERK-driven changes in chromatin accessibility at putative regulatory regions and global chromatin rewiring at neuroendocrine and ETS transcriptional targets. Further, ERK-mediated induction of ETS factors as well as suppression of neuroendocrine differentiation were dependent on histone acetyltransferase activities of CBP/p300. Overall, we describe how the ERK-CBP/p300-ETS axis promotes a lineage shift between neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine lung cancer phenotypes and provide rationale for the disruption of this program during transformation-driven resistance to targeted therapy.
Medieval Scotland: A Future for its Past
Authors: Hall Mark , Price Neil
Published: June 2021

The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under five key headings. Underpinning all five areas is the recognition that human narratives remain crucial for ensuring the widest access to our shared past. There is no wish to see political and economic narratives abandoned but the need is recognised for there to be an expansion to more social narratives to fully explore the potential of the diverse evidence base. The questions that can be asked are here framed in a national context but they need to be supported and improved a) by the development of regional research frameworks, and b) by an enhanced study of Scotland’s international context through time. 1. From North Britain to the Idea of Scotland: Understanding why, where and how ‘Scotland’ emerges provides a focal point of research. Investigating state formation requires work from Medieval Scotland: a future for its past ii a variety of sources, exploring the relationships between centres of consumption - royal, ecclesiastical and urban - and their hinterlands. Working from site-specific work to regional analysis, researchers can explore how what would become ‘Scotland’ came to be, and whence sprang its inspiration. 2. Lifestyles and Living Spaces: Holistic approaches to exploring medieval settlement should be promoted, combining landscape studies with artefactual, environmental, and documentary work. Understanding the role of individual sites within wider local, regional and national settlement systems should be promoted, and chronological frameworks developed to chart the changing nature of Medieval settlement. 3. Mentalities: The holistic understanding of medieval belief (particularly, but not exclusively, in its early medieval or early historic phase) needs to broaden its contextual understanding with reference to prehistoric or inherited belief systems and frames of reference. Collaborative approaches should draw on international parallels and analogues in pursuit of defining and contrasting local or regional belief systems through integrated studies of portable material culture, monumentality and landscape. 4. Empowerment: Revisiting museum collections and renewing the study of newly retrieved artefacts is vital to a broader understanding of the dynamics of writing within society. Text needs to be seen less as a metaphor and more as a technological and social innovation in material culture which will help the understanding of it as an experienced, imaginatively rich reality of life. In archaeological terms, the study of the relatively neglected cultural areas of sensory perception, memory, learning and play needs to be promoted to enrich the understanding of past social behaviours. 5. Parameters: Multi-disciplinary, collaborative, and cross-sector approaches should be encouraged in order to release the research potential of all sectors of archaeology. Creative solutions should be sought to the challenges of transmitting the importance of archaeological work and conserving the resource for current and future research.
Pyrrolidone Monomers with Acrylate Functionality and their Polymers

Published: June 2021

This chapter reviews acrylate monomer chemistry, and summarizes reported work on the syntheses of acrylate and methacrylate monomers bearing pyrrolidone rings and their homo‐polymers and statistical copolymers made via conventional radical polymerizations. Acrylates are derivatives of acrylic acid – the simplest conjugated unsaturated carboxylic acid. Early laboratory methods developed for synthesizing (meth)acrylic esters of lactams, were based on the use of sodium derivatives of the lactams, including pyrrolidone. The chapter describes the use of the pyrrolidonyl acrylate/methacrylate monomers in the synthesis of structured block copolymers bearing pyrrolidone functionalities – that is, block copolymers based on pyrrolidonyl acrylate and methacrylate monomers synthesized via controlled living radical polymerization processes. Polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA) has become established as a powerful and versatile method for the synthesis of amphiphilic diblock copolymer nanoparticles and various associated structured morphologies. PISA is extremely convenient and removes the need for post‐polymerization processing to induce self‐assembly.
