Published: September 2022

This cross-sectional study assessed how traditional eating relates to cultural and community factors. Alaska Native adults from the Norton Sound region were recruited and surveyed between 2015–2018 for a randomized clinical trial of multiple risk behavior change interventions for cardiovascular disease prevention. Participants (n = 291) were 49% female with a mean age of 47 years (SD = 14). A 34-item food frequency questionnaire assessed consumption of foods traditional and nontraditional to the regional Alaska Native diet. A novel measure, termed the “traditional foods index”, was computed as weekly servings of culturally traditional food consumption divided by total foods reported. Overall, the sample’s traditional foods index averaged 21%±16%, with higher values reported by participants assessed in summer (23%±17%) than winter (19%±15%, p<0.05); by women (22%±16%) than men (19%±16%, p < .05); and by residents of smaller communities (22%±17%) than the comparatively larger community of Nome (17%±14%, p<0.05). The traditional foods index was correlated with age (r = .26, p < .01), as well as the cultural variables of community connectedness (r = .19, p < .01), community standing (r = .15, p < .01), and traditional language comprehension (r = .19, p < .01). In a multivariate regression model, age, community connectedness, and community standing remained significantly associated with traditional diet. These findings may inform the design and evaluation of community-based, culturally-relevant dietary initiatives for heart health.

Published: September 2022

We investigated the impact of dietary patterns on the gut microbiota and concentration of short-chain fatty acids in the feces of Korean elementary school students. The dietary intake and ADHD assessment of 40 Korean elementary school students were analyzed using a dish-based semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Analysis of gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids composition were performed using the real-time polymerase chain reaction, metagenomics, and gas chromatography methods. The dietary patterns of participants were divided into four groups: healthy, processed food, fish and shellfish, and meat. The participants were also divided into two groups according to their ADHD scores: 0–30, control group; over 30, ADHD group. The ADHD score of the processed food group was significantly higher than that of the healthy group. The processed food and ADHD groups showed significantly higher abundance of harmful bacteria, such as the Enterobacter, Escherichia coli, and Clostridium strains, and markedly lower abundance of beneficial bacteria, such as the Bifidobacterium and Ruminococcus strains, than the control group. The heat maps of metagenomics indicated that each group was separated into distinct clusters, and the processed food and ADHD groups showed significantly lower α-diversity of gut microbiota than the control group. In these groups, the concentration of acetate or butyrate in the feces was significantly lower than that in the control group. These results may indicate that imbalanced diets can disturb the colonic microbial balance and are likely to become a potential risk factor for the prevalence of ADHD.

Published: September 2022

Visual input is crucial for understanding speech under noisy conditions, but there are hardly any tools to assess the individual ability to lipread. With this study, we wanted to (1) investigate how linguistic characteristics of language on the one hand and hearing impairment on the other hand have an impact on lipreading abilities and (2) provide a tool to assess lipreading abilities for German speakers. 170 participants (22 prelingually deaf) completed the online assessment, which consisted of a subjective hearing impairment scale and silent videos in which different item categories (numbers, words, and sentences) were spoken. The task for our participants was to recognize the spoken stimuli just by visual inspection. We used different versions of one test and investigated the impact of item categories, word frequency in the spoken language, articulation, sentence frequency in the spoken language, sentence length, and differences between speakers on the recognition score. We found an effect of item categories, articulation, sentence frequency, and sentence length on the recognition score. With respect to hearing impairment we found that higher subjective hearing impairment is associated with higher test score. We did not find any evidence that prelingually deaf individuals show enhanced lipreading skills over people with postlingual acquired hearing impairment. However, we see an interaction with education only in the prelingual deaf, but not in the population with postlingual acquired hearing loss. This points to the fact that there are different factors contributing to enhanced lipreading abilities depending on the onset of hearing impairment (prelingual vs. postlingual). Overall, lipreading skills vary strongly in the general population independent of hearing impairment. Based on our findings we constructed a new and efficient lipreading assessment tool (SaLT) that can be used to test behavioral lipreading abilities in the German speaking population.

The severity ofEntamoeba histolyticainfection is determined by host immunology, pathogen virulence, and the intestinal environment. Conventional research for assessing pathogen virulence has been mainly performed using laboratory strains, such as a virulent HM-1: IMSS (HM-1) and an avirulent Rahman, under various artificial environmental conditions because of the difficulties of axenic isolation of the clinical strains. However, it is still unclear whether scientific knowledge based on laboratory strains are universally applicable to the true pathogenesis. Hereby, we performed transcriptomic analysis of clinical strains from patients with different degrees of disease severity, as well as HM-1 under different conditions. Even after several months of axenization, Clinical strains show the distinct profile in gene expression during in vitro passage, moreover, difference between any 2 of these strains was much greater than the changes on the liver challenge. Interestingly, 26 DEGs, which were closely related to the biological functions, were oppositely up- or down regulated between virulent Ax 19 (liver abscess) and avirulent Ax 11 (asymptomatic carrier). Additionally, RNAseq using laboratory strain (HM1) showed more than half of genes were differently expressed between continuously in vitro passaged HM1 (in vitro HM1) and periodically liver passaged HM1 (virulent HM1), which was much greater than the changes on the liver passage of virulent HM1. Also, transcriptomic analysis of a laboratory strain revealed that continuous environmental stress enhances its virulence via a shift in its gene expression profile. Changes in gene expression patterns on liver abscess formation were not consistent between clinical and laboratory strains.
System identity and transformation in petroleum jurisdictions: A multi-method approach for the North Slope Borough, Alaska
Authors: Lovecraft Amy Lauren , Lee Olivia , Parlato Nicholas
Published: September 2022

Capturing the multidimensionality of a bounded social-environmental system (SES) presents a range of challenges to interdisciplinary researchers due to the need to integrate divergent scientific paradigms, scalar data, and social theories. Contemporary Arctic circumpolar SESs studied under conditions of rapid and unprecedented climatic, ecological, economic, and sociopolitical change, defy any singular established methodological approach that aims to schematize and interpret the system for decision-making purposes. As a small interdisciplinary team working within a large Arctic SES modeling effort, we have found that developing systems models to support resilience in the Arctic requires an understanding of system dynamics that is attentive to holistic indicators of change, measured both quantitatively and qualitatively. Using the Alaska North Slope Borough as a case study, we apply three convergent frameworks to capture significant dimensions of the system for improved problem definition in confronting the challenges of Arctic climate change. We describe contemporary “oil and gas” social-ecological system components and dynamics, the historical processes and transformations that fundamentally altered the system, and the scientific projections for the most likely catalysts of future change. This analysis results in a typology for defining subnational Arctic hydrocarbon SESs. We conclude that the future of oil and gas development as a policy pathway in different locations experiencing rapid climate change can be evaluated when difficult-to-quantify variables are included.
Az akadémiai szolgáltatásminőség és az akkulturáció szerepe a magyar oktatásturizmusban
Authors: Mucsi Attila
Published: September 2022

Az elmúlt évtizedben Magyarország jelentős közép-európai oktatásturisztikai célponttá vált, azonban a növekedés fenntartásához továbbra is szem előtt kell tartani a külföldi hallgatók igényeit. A jelen kutatás azt vizsgálta, hogy a 2020-as világjárvány idején az akadémiai szolgáltatásminőség mely
tényezői voltak a legfontosabbak a külföldi hallgatók számára, illetve hogy a hallgatók akkulturációs stratégiája hogyan befolyásolta az észlelt akadémiai szolgáltatásminőséget. Jelen tanulmányban 20 külföldi hallgatóval készült mélyinterjú tartalomelemzésének eredménye kerül bemutatásra. Az
akadémiai szolgáltatás minőségének tényezői között szerepel az oktatók szakmai felkészültsége, iparági tapasztalata, segítőkészsége, illetve a digitális oktatásra való átállás sebessége. Azok a külföldi hallgatók, akik törekedtek a kulturális integrációra, jellemzően elégedettebbek voltak az akadémiai
szolgáltatásminőséggel, mint azok, akik az asszimilációs akkulturációs stratégiát választották, vagy elszeparálódtak hallgatótársaiktól.
Análise de parâmetros geomorfológicos na suscetibilidade a escorregamentos no sudeste brasileiro
Authors: Bonini Jose Eduardo , Vieira Bianca Carvalho , Ross Jurandyr Luciano Sanches , Bateira Carlos Valdir de Meneses , Martins Tiago Damas
Published: September 2022

Escorregamentos são fenômenos recorrentes no Brasil, em especial na Serra do Mar, uma cadeia montanhosa que se prolonga por aproximadamente 1.500 km na costa brasileira do Sul e Sudeste. Inúmeros trabalhos têm tratado das implicações de diferentes parâmetros controladores da suscetibilidade à ocorrência de tais processos, principalmente no front oriental da Serra do Mar. O objetivo deste artigo é identificar os fatores condicionantes mais relevantes para o mapeamento da suscetibilidade a escorregamentos no Planalto de Paraitinga-Paraibuna (Sudeste do Brasil), uma área intensamente afetada por escorregamentos e inundações deflagrados após um evento extremo de precipitação no verão de 2009-2010. Para isso, as relações entre diferentes fatores condicionantes (ângulo, aspecto, Índice Topográfico de Umidade, litologia e uso da terra) e a distribuição de cicatrizes foram avaliadas a partir de uma análise de correlação. Em seguida, o modelo do Valor Informativo e um método de seleção de variáveis baseado na contribuição de cada fator condicionante para o desempenho do modelo e em sua capacidade de discriminação entre classes instáveis e estáveis foram aplicados. Dois cenários de suscetibilidade foram produzidos: um utilizando apenas os fatores selecionados (S2) e outro utilizando todos os fatores condicionantes (S6). Ambos os cenários foram validados utilizando curvas ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) e comparados a partir do Kappa de Cohen. Nossos resultados mostraram que o ângulo das encostas e o Índice Topográfico de Umidade (TWI) são os principais fatores condicionantes. A análise ROC mostrou que o cenário S6 possui melhor desempenho e capacidade preditiva que o cenário S2. Porém, o menor desempenho e capacidade preditiva de S2 em comparação com S6 reflete a escassez de dados geográficos detalhados e não a inadequação do método de seleção de variáveis aplicado. Os valores do Kappa de Cohen mostraram maior consistência entre os cenários na identificação das classes de suscetibilidade Muito Alta e Muito Baixa. Devido à escassez de dados geográficos detalhados na maioria das áreas de estudo no Brasil, sugerimos que a seleção das variáveis seja baseada no conhecimento do operador quanto ao modelo estatístico e em seu conhecimento do ponto de vista geomorfológico.

Pintura e desterritorialidade em Fernando Lindote
Authors: Miranda Cherem Rosangela , Knabben Luciana
Published: September 2022

O texto aborda um conjunto de dez pinturas apresentadas por Fernando Lindote na 14ª BIENAL INTERNACIONAL DE ARTE CONTEMPORÂNEA DE CURITIBA - POLO SC. As mesmas permitem reconhecer uma espacialidade desterritorializada, onde gravitam signos distintos e referências contraditórias, combinando dimensões do racional e do onírico, da cor e da forma, do orgânico e do maquínico num campo diverso da mera ilustração, apropriação ou citação. Dados biográficos da infância e juventude persistem na obra como marca de uma desterritorialidade que prioriza um estado de desconstrução, destinado a questionar as hierarquias e classificações. Considerando o arquivo do qual emergem suas escolhas, processos e soluções poéticas, predomina uma recusa à coerência figural, acolhendo decantações provenientes tanto da literatura, da filosofia e da história da arte, bem como da cultura de massa, incluído músicas, gibis e cinema.

Este artigo mostra os gastos e as políticas governamentais do Brasil para o setor cultural e especificamente para a linguagem teatral. Entende-se que os gastos públicos com Cultura e as políticas e programas governamentais para a área agem como disparadores para a circulação mais igualitária de bens e serviços culturais no País. Este estudo é organizado a partir de dados do IBGE sobre gastos e políticas públicas, equipamentos e atividades culturais no Brasil, focando especificamente no Nordeste e em Sergipe. Nota-se a existência de apoios governamentais às manifestações da cultura tradicional e popular. Com relação a circulação da produção teatral em Sergipe, deduz-se que essa linguagem artística está representada através dos grupos teatrais independentes do estado.

Межмуниципальные различия в цифровой восприимчивости населения
Authors: Михайлова Анна Алексеевна
Published: September 2022

Рост числа пользователей интернета и мобильной связи оказал глобальное влияние на общественные процессы. Цифровизация стала новым фактором деформации мирового пространства и стратификации общества. Однако господствующий детерминизм социально-экономических и технологических причин цифрового неравенства не способствует учету индивидуальных причин и локальных условий цифровизации. Цель статьи — оценить пространственную неоднородность цифровизации, фокусируясь на поиске территориальных различий в способности и готовности населения к широкому усвоению навыков использования цифровых технологий с последующим внедрением в повседневную жизнь. Статья основана на материалах опроса 876 жителей 22 муниципалитетов Калининградской области (август 2020 г.). Определены сходства и различия между центром и периферией в восприимчивости населения к цифровым технологиям, локальным цифровым сервисам, сетевому обществу и цифровым коммуникациям. Выявлен сходный высокий уровень востребованности цифровых сервисов, позволяющих осуществлять повседневные рутины (оплата счетов, получение госуслуг, проверка социальных сетей и др.). Показаны территориальные различия в проникновении личностно ориентированных цифровых технологий и услуг, а также локальных цифровых сервисов, зависящих от местной инфраструктуры и рынка труда. Даны рекомендации по повышению связанности Калининграда и прочих муниципалитетов региона на основе более широкого внедрения цифровых технологий и поддержке их аналоговыми решениями.

Двухкомпонентная модель запланированного поведения: интеграция имплицитных факторов улучшает точность прогноза
Authors: Чернозуб Олег Леонидович
Published: September 2022

В первой части статьи (Мониторинг общественного мнения: экономические и социальные перемены. 2022. № 3. С. 28—44. https://doi.org/10.14515/monitoring.2022.3.2125) мы рассмотрели потенциальную возможность расширить модель теории запланированного поведения (ТЗП) А. Айзена за счет учета не только эксплицитных (осознаваемых), но и имплицитных (находящихся вне контроля сознания) факторов поведения. Первые результаты эмпирического тестирования показали, что результаты измерения имплицитных факторов радикально отличаются от результатов их эксплицитных аналогов. Имплицитные факторы определенно являются ортогональными по отношению к эксплицитным, а их изучение несет в себе новую информацию. Но насколько эта новая информация полезна с точки зрения лучшего понимания поведения человека? Улучшает ли она модель ТЗП и помогает ли сделать более точными ее прогнозы?
Все эти вопросы рассмотрены в настоящей статье. Главный вывод проделанного анализа: учет имплицитных факторов дополнительно проясняет мотивы поведения человека и повышает точность прогноза его действий. Модель ТЗП в ее двухкомпонентном варианте выглядит еще более эффективным инструментом исследования поведения человека.
В объятьях картонных богов: о магии имен, силе слов и фетишизме символического в социальной жизни. Часть I
Authors: Подвойский Денис Глебович
Published: September 2022

В настоящем научно-публицистическом очерке предметом критического анализа становится феномен символического фетишизма как одно из закономерных проявлений и последствий универсального процесса социального конструирования реальности. Коллективное (вос)производство и артикуляция смыслов/ценностей в формах совместной человеческой деятельности и общественного сознания сопровождаются (вос)производством знаково-символических систем, составляющих важную компоненту объективированного универсума социальной жизни. Символическая система общества приобретает значительную автономию (по отношению к конкретным индивидам), формируя опредмеченную, овеществленную среду духовной и материальной культуры, в масштабах которой разворачиваются жизнь и деятельность социальных акторов. Трактовка указанной темы выстраивается на базе авторской рецепции трех концептуальных источников: 1) теории проводников взаимодействия П.А. Сорокина (рассматривается в первой части статьи), 2) теории символического капитала и символического насилия П. Бурдьё (включающей размышления о «власти номинации» и ее роли в конституировании социальных отношений), а также 3) представлений Ж. Бодрийяра о знаковой природе потребления в обществах последних десятилетий XX — начала XXI века (обсуждаются во второй части очерка).

Selective application of navigation templates in idiopathic scoliosis: technical and hronometric features
Authors: Kosulin A. V. , Elyakin D. V. , Kornievskiy L. A. , Bulatova I. A. , Mushkin A. Yu.
Published: September 2022

Objective. To evaluate short-term result of selective navigation templates application in idiopathic scoliosis surgery.

Material and Methods. A total of 12 patients aged 14–17 years with idiopathic scoliosis were included in the study. Group A included 6 patients treated with selective application of navigation templates for pedicle screws insertion in the most difficult zones. Group B (control) included 6 patients in whom all the pedicle screws were placed with free-hand technique. Number of screws inserted was 16–20 per patient. There was no significant difference between the groups in sex, age, Cobb angle, number of vertebrae instrumented, number of pedicle screws and laminar hooks. Surgery duration, blood loss, absolute and relative correction were compared. In Group A, duration of the 3D-objects fabrication and printing, as well as pedicle screw accuracy based on 2-mm increment grading system were evaluated.

Results. Selective application of navigation templates as compared with total free hand screws placement significantly reduced surgery duration. Difference in blood loss and deformity correction was not significant. A total of 107 pedicle screws were placed in Group A, 48 of them with navigation templates and 59 by free-hand technique. Average pedicle width in screw installation with navigation templates was 4.28 ± 1.43 mm, and in that with free-hand technique 6.53 ± 1.72 mm, with significant difference. Accurate screw placement with navigation templates and by free-hand technique were 93.7 % and 88.0 %, respectively, with no significant difference. Duration of 3D-objects manufacturing was 1419 ± 190 minutes. Active operator’s involvement was required in about 10 % of the while.

Conclusion. Selective application of a pair of two-level navigation templates for most difficult pedicles in idiopathic scoliosis significantly reduces surgery duration. Difference in blood loss and deformity correction is insignificant. Refusal of total templates usage for combination of navigation templates for selected difficult pedicles and free-hand technique for the rest is an option for shortening the preoperative preparation, but provides screw placement accuracy comparable with total templates usage (92.5–97.6 % as reported).
Chińskie i unijne prawo antymonopolowe: studium prawnoporównawcze
Authors: Anusz Agnieszka
Published: September 2022

Celem artykułu jest porównanie unijnego i chińskiego prawa antymonopolowego wraz z omówieniem najważniejszych różnic obu wskazanych systemów publicznego prawa ochrony konkurencji na przykładzie wyroku Najwyższego Sądu Ludowego w sprawie antymonopolowej Qihoo 360 v. Tencent QQ. Za podstawę analizy zostały przyjęte chińskie i unijne akty prawa powszechnie obowiązującego w dziedzinie prawa antymonopolowego oraz wyrok Najwyższego Sądu Ludowego w sprawie Qihoo 360 v. Tencent QQ. Analiza regulacji prowadzi do wniosku, że oba omawiane systemy prawne w dziedzinie prawa antymonopolowego nie różnią się między sobą w sposób istotny, niemniej czynnikiem determinującym to, jak prawo antymonopolowe jest wykonywane w obu tych porządkach prawnych, jest stopień przyznanej organom ochrony konkurencji dyskrecjonalności i sposób realizacji celów prawa antymonopolowego.
Uwarunkowania dobrowolnych odejść z pracy w polskich przedsiębiorstwach w kontekście segmentacji rynku pracy
Authors: Arendt Łukasz , Grabowski Wojciech
Published: September 2022

W artykule omawiane jest zagadnienie dobrowolnego zwalniania się z pracy w polskich przedsiębiorstwach w kontekście koncepcji segmentacji rynku pracy. Celem artykułu jest ustalenie, jak segmentacja rynku pracy, określona przez liczbę segmentów stanowisk pracy w przedsiębiorstwach, determinuje częstotliwość dobrowolnego odchodzenia z przedsiębiorstwa przez osoby w nim zatrudnione, a także identyfikacja wpływu innych czynników związanych z organizacją, środowiskiem pracy i cechami osób zatrudnionych na intensywność dobrowolnej rotacyjności w Polsce. W badaniu sformułowano dwa problemy: czy liczba segmentów pracy wewnątrz przedsiębiorstwa wpływa na skalę dobrowolnej rotacyjności w polskich firmach? czy zależność między cechami miejsca pracy a skłonnością do dobrowolnego odejścia z pracy różni się ze względu na segmenty? Wykorzystując dane pochodzące z badania CAWI przeprowadzonego na próbie 1002 polskich firm do oszacowania wielomianowego modelu probitowego, weryfikacji poddano dwie hipotezy: struktura segmentacji stanowisk pracy warunkuje skłonność do dobrowolnych odejść z pracy; determinanty dobrowolnej rotacyjności związane z cechami stanowiska pracy są zróżnicowane pomiędzy segmentami. Wyniki badania empirycznego wskazują, że czynniki strukturalne są głównymi determinantami skłonności do dobrowolnego zwalniania się z pracy, jednakże ich wpływ zależy od segmentu, do którego należy pracownik – tym samym potwierdzono hipotezę drugą. Liczba segmentów rynku pracy okazuje się determinować skłonność do dobrowolnego odchodzenia z pracy jedynie w przypadku pracowników z segmentu pierwotnego, co potwierdza prawdziwość hipotezy pierwszej jedynie częściowo. Główne czynniki wpływające na skłonność do dobrowolnego zwalniania się z pracy są związane z satysfakcją z wykonywanego zajęcia – należy w związku z tym wskazać na ważną rolę działów personalnych oraz praktyk zarządzania w redukcji skali dobrowolnego odchodzenia z pracy w Polsce i innych krajach charakteryzujących się niedoborami po stronie podażowej.
Tourism, commodification of Dongba script and perceptions of the Naxi minority in the linguistic landscape of Lijiang: a diachronic perspective
Authors: Nie Peng , Yao Xiaofang
Published: September 2022

Ongoing debates in the field of sociolinguistics are centred around the implications of the commodification of the languages and cultures of ethnic minorities. Previous research has adopted synchronic approaches to describing how ideologies of tourist consumption shape language choices in the linguistic landscape. However, such snapshot analyses have proved to be inadequate in revealing changes in the linguistic landscape over time, especially the nuanced perceptions of minority communities who are subjects to ethnic tourism. This paper examines the use of Dongba script in the linguistic landscape of the Naxi minority in Lijiang under the conditions of commodification in tourism. A diachronic comparison of photographic data collected in 2016 and 2021 revealed the increasing visibility and prominence of Dongba script on public signs; interviews with ordinary inhabitants, tourism industry practitioners and Dongba priests within the Naxi community further demonstrated the evolving attitudes towards linguistic commodification, from hesitation and objection to integration and creative accommodation. The study provides new insights into how a diachronic perspective can help reveal the dynamic between packaging languages as commodities and retaining signs of identity, religion and culture.
Contributions of morphological awareness and lexical inferencing ability to L2 vocabulary knowledge among Chinese EFL learners: a structural equation modeling analysis
Authors: Wang Tuoxiong , Zhang Haomin
Published: September 2022

The present study investigated the direct and indirect contributions of morphological awareness to vocabulary knowledge among a group of Chinese English as a foreign language (EFL) students in a university in China. Using multiple regression analysis and structural equation modeling analysis, the study found that morphological awareness made significant contributions to vocabulary knowledge after lexical inferencing was controlled for. To be more specific, the prediction of morphological awareness on vocabulary depth was stronger than its prediction on vocabulary breadth. The direct effects of morphological awareness were stronger than its indirect effects on vocabulary. More importantly, the study revealed that the relationships between morphological awareness (morpheme recognition and morpheme discrimination) and vocabulary knowledge were mediated by discourse clues rather than grammar clues.
Smartphone apps for spiritual wellness
Authors: Gorichanaz Tim
Published: September 2022

Smartphone applications (apps) to promote wellness constitute a burgeoning industry, part of broader societal developments in “digital wellness.” This paper examines the affordances and interaction styles in a selection of apps that support spiritual wellness, which is a foundational and scarcely acknowledged dimension of wellness. Spiritual wellness itself entails six dimensions: belief in an organizing force, connectedness, faith, compassion, meaning of life, and meaning of death. This paper surveys the smartphone applications currently available that support spiritual wellness and discusses how these apps relate to the six aspects of spiritual wellness, discussing one application in depth for each aspect. In all, the surveyed apps employ a small set of interaction styles, including: timers, notifiers, card decks, and journals. This framework contributes to our understanding of the space of spiritual digital wellness applications. Opportunities for further development and engagement in each aspect are discussed.

Published: September 2022

This paper will discuss the issues faced by the Rhode Island Historical Society (RIHS) in deciding how to handle the conservation and restoration needs of a very large and damaged work in their collection, and describe the innovative solution they came up with. The RIHS faced the decision of how to approach possible restoration of an 1812 painted drop scene or theater curtain, which had been conserved in the 1980s but was by now in need of cleaning and perhaps further restoration, to help celebrate the organization’s bicentennial in 2022. They had to decide what the limits of traditional restoration were for their object, if this restoration might significantly affect the integrity of the work, and whether the considerable cost of traditional restoration was too prohibitive for a smaller institution. In considering these questions the RIHS came to the conclusion that an alternative method of restoring a work such as theirs was needed, a method that would allow an institution to create a digital file of the work, and to “restore” it using a combination of photo-editing tools and traditional painting methods. Digital photo-editing on its own would not have been sufficient to produce an organic, realistic restoration of the work, and using this hybrid digital approach, which did not alter the original object in any way, was the ideal solution.
Der Thatcherismus und Andrew Lloyd Webbers Musicals
Authors: Eubanks Winkler Amanda
Published: September 2022

Dieser Aufsatz umreißt die zentralen Grundsätze des Thatcherismus und geht der Frage nach, ob und wie sie in Andrew Lloyd Webbers Œuvre der 1980er Jahre inszeniert wurden. Die Autorin konzentriert sich auf drei Musicals, die oft mit Thatcheristischer Ästhetik in Verbindung gebracht wurden: „Cats“ (1981), „Starlight Express“ (1984) und „Das Phantom der Oper“ (1986). Der Beitrag zeigt, wie die Musiksprache und Dramaturgie dieser Musicals an größeren kulturellen, vom Thatcherismus geprägten Diskursen partizipierten, die „traditionelle Werte“ lobten und von einer „glorreichen“ britischen Vergangenheit schwärmten, die ihre Stimme gegen Elitedenken erhoben und die die Wahrnehmung der Rolle des Staats und die Beziehung zwischen dem Individuum und dem Staat verschoben.
The Need for Educational Reform Concerning the Paternal Role in FASD Pathogenesis
Authors: Astrom Holly , Datta Riya , Huh Kathryn
Published: September 2022

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) is an umbrella term for a group of neurodevelopmental impairments caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. FASD pathogenesis often implicates the mother, largely focused on maternal alcohol consumption prior to or during pregnancy. As such, most FASD interventions are geared towards the mother. However, an array of risk factors within the family environment, notably paternal alcohol consumption and attitudes toward maternal consumption during pregnancy, can impact FASD development in the offspring. This paper sheds light on the paternal role in FASD pathogenesis that is rarely discussed and promotes the importance of family-centred interventions. FASD is a preventable disorder: prophylactic measures such as increasing the information and educational resources to reach a larger population could greatly reduce the risk and incidence of FASD.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder involving recurring, unwanted thoughts followed by eliciting ritualistic behaviours to alleviate feelings of distress. Two onsets of OCD exist: early and late. Early-onset (also known as paediatric or childhood) OCD shows greater rates of comorbidities and symptom severity, as well as stronger links to genetics, which are a developing field in OCD etiopathogenesis. An extensive number of twin and family studies have demonstrated heritability of OCD and clustering in families. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are a relatively new addition to the progression of OCD genomics, they have provided initial results on specific candidate genes involved. Currently, the serotonergic, early glutamatergic, and dopaminergic systems possess the main genes implicated in OCD. An epigenetic contribution has also been recently considered in paediatric populations. This review of existing literature primarily focuses on the genetic factors of OCD, particularly its early-onset form.
Regionalization of Pediatric Care

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in overcapacity community hospitals around Ontario.1 However, pediatric hospitals have experienced a reduced number of visits.2 To address the challenge of overcapacity, 3 proposed approaches are identified: resource redeployment to adult centres and long-term care facilities, redirecting pediatric patients from community hospitals to pediatric hospitals, and reducing the number of non-urgent surgeries in pediatric hospitals in order to admit more non-COVID adults.3 The ethical considerations of each approach were evaluated according to the values of accessibility, equitable access to care, and solidarity, in order to make an informed recommendation for how to proceed. It was concluded that the regionalization of pediatric care would be a suitable approach: redirection of all pediatric patients in an Ontario region to the nearest pediatric hospital. This commentary reflects the values and innovative thinking of a group of undergraduate students from McMaster University.
Artivismo con humor en Las miserables de Las Reinas Chulas
Authors: Vincent Nidia
Published: September 2022

Este artículo es un acercamiento a la temática, construcción y recursos humorísticos de la obra Las miserables (2016) de la compañía Las Reinas Chulas, con el objeto de reconocer al cabaret y el humor como recursos de un artivismo que puede incidir en cambios culturales, políticos o sociales. Esta compañía es un referente obligado para comprender y valorar al teatro-cabaret contemporáneo mexicano que se ha caracterizado, desde sus orígenes en los años 80, por su crítica creativa y compromiso con los feminismos y la comunidad LGTB+. Teniendo como telón de fondo la Revolución Francesa, la obra se refiere a los derechos de las mujeres, la diversidad sexual y la violencia de género. Su oportuno estreno en 2016, coincidió con las discusiones para la redacción de  la actual Constitución de la Ciudad de México.
Exilio y desierto en la obra Limbo, de Gabriela Muñoz
Authors: Gutiérrez Bracho Carlos
Published: September 2022

El presente trabajo ofrece una interpretación hermenéutica del espectáculo Limbo, de la artista mexicana Gabriela Muñoz, también conocida como “Chula the clown”, a partir de los conceptos desierto y exilio, presentes en este ejercicio escénico, así como en el pensamiento de María Zambrano, donde se muestran como un problema filosófico, y en la obra del investigador Ignacio Izuzquiza. Exilio y desierto aparecen también en Esperando a Godot de Samuel Beckett, obra que se revela como influencia del trabajo de Muñoz y con la que comparte algunos signos poéticos. El texto, asimismo, retoma los apuntes de la investigadora Melissa Lima Caminha, principalmente la noción de deconstrucción del clown femenino moderno y la categoría de monstruosidad para hablar de quienes han sido expulsados o expulsadas del grupo social por ser considerados diferentes y con lo cual viven, precisamente, en los linderos del exilio. En Muñoz, como sucede con la tradición clown, esta figura cómica se muestra como símbolo de lo excluido, lo deforme, lo anormal e, incluso, de lo despreciable. A partir de estas claves, la artista muestra el limbo como un estado emocional donde se diluyen las fronteras del tiempo y el espacio, en un ambiente que se mueve entre la desolación y la comicidad.

Compromised endocytosis in neurons leads to synapse overgrowth and altered organization of synaptic proteins. However, the molecular players and the signaling pathways which regulate the process remain poorly understood. Here, we show that σ2-adaptin, one of the subunits of the AP2-complex, genetically interacts with Mad, Medea and Dad (components of BMP signaling) to control neuromuscular junction (NMJ) growth inDrosophila. Ultrastructural analysis ofσ2-adaptinmutants show an accumulation of large vesicles and membranous structures akin to endosomes at the synapse. We found that mutations inσ2-adaptinlead to an accumulation of Tkv receptors at the presynaptic membrane. Interestingly, the level of small GTPase Rab11 was significantly reduced in theσ2-adaptinmutant synapses. However, expression of Rab11 does not restore the synaptic defects ofσ2-adaptinmutations. We propose a model in which AP2 regulates Tkv internalization and endosomal recycling to control synaptic growth.
Un carteggio inedito di fine Trecento tra le due sponde dell’Adriatico
Authors: Bettarini Francesco , Rinaldin Anna
Published: September 2022

L’Archivio di Stato di Firenze e la Pennsylvania University Library conservano i due frammenti della corrispondenza familiare e commerciale ricevuta da Piero di Bernardo Chiarini da Firenze tra il 1390 ed il 1400. L’oggetto di interesse storico e storico-linguistico di questo carteggio è costituito dal fatto che i Chiarini, pur essendo strettamente legati alla città di provenienza, vivono ed operano principalmente a Spalato, perfettamente integrati nel ceto popolare della città dalmata. Giunti alla seconda generazione della loro esperienza spalatina, i Chiarini hanno ormai acquisito forti caratteri dalmati anche dal punto di vista linguistico.
