Bodies of Hope and Disruption
Authors: Grisel Jillian
Published: May 2020

One way neoliberalism and patriarchy maintain power is under racial hierarchies that legitimize the removal of non-white bodies to places of disposability. I aim to illustrate this violence and how it plays out through migrant domestic workers in a Lebanese context, tracing their pathway to incarceration. I also attempt to dispel the myth that suggests migrant domestic workers are victims in their location of disposability through my experience facilitating a mental health intervention in a Lebanese prison. I demonstrate this by reflecting on how Western medicine reinforces the oppression of migrant domestic workers relative to my own subjectivity and how they resist through acts of feeling and care-work.
On Dream Making and Aspired Migration of Queer Bodies
Authors: Mamdouh Ahmed Yara
Published: May 2020

In looking at the relationship between the body and the state when it is at its most vulnerable, in the sites of imagination and its making, this paper will explore how queer bodies imagine movement in the advent of a neoliberal discourse of rights, laws, and citizenship. What is it in the apparatuses of the neoliberal moment that washes over the processes of dreaming of a “somewhere else,” shaping the potentialities of movement, the spaces we can imagine and create, and the spaces that seem unreachable? The notion of citizenship will be a primary focus in my research, particularly sexual citizenship, as an incarnation of the state’s capacity to fix the subject to rigid structures and dispositifs of control.
Yaariyan, Baithak, Gupshup: Queer Feminist Formations and the Global South
Authors: Minai Naveen , Shroff Sara
Published: May 2020

In this essay, we join Linda Tuhiwai Smith’s (1999) and Eve Tuck’s (2009) call to decolonize and de-center “damage-centered” research, embedded in settler/colonial ways of knowing. We attend to the ethical responsibility and intimate relationalities that this contemporary moment requires of us as privileged feminist, queer, global south, and South Asian scholars. We introduce yaariyan, baithak, and gupshup to theorize queer feminist care in/as research practices. As ethics of care, compassion, and collectivity, these practices enable us to study and share knowledges together. Building on transnational feminist and queer scholarship (Chowdhury and Philipose 2016; Banerjea et al. 2017), we argue that responsible knowledges mean thinking about methods as relational rather than transactional and relationality as activated and not automatic. We explore how gupshup and baithak provide methodologies of co-production of knowledge, inclusion, accountability, sharing, and reflection. This work must be located in different frameworks of home, diaspora, and language. Pakistan, we contend, is always already a transnational space in which gender and sexuality have been categorized (to deadly consequences) but not contained as words which denote experiences, identities, practices, desires, and histories. It is these words that we reach for in and through our friendship as a condition of possibility of a different kind of knowledge-making.

Objectives. Nowadays, the use of flow-cytometry for the screening of urine samples is extended, but appropriate cut-off points for each population group are yet to be established. The objective of this study was to evaluate the Sysmex UF-1000i® cytometer as a screening method for detection of asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) and Group B Streptococcus (GBS) in pregnant women.
Material and methods. Urine samples obtained during pregnancy between January-July 2019 were both processed with the Sysmex UF-1000i® and also cultured. Demographic data, flow-cytometry parameters and the result of the urine culture were collected. To assess the performance of the flow-cytometer for detection of AB and GBS, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the BACT/μL variable were applied.
Results. A total of 33,687 urine samples were received, among which 1,443 (4.3%) belonged to pregnant women. Urine culture was positive in 82 (5.7%) samples, 1,295 (89.7%) were negative and 66 (4.6%) were considered contaminated. GBS was isolated in 69 (4.8%) patients and 46 (66.7%) with a microbial count below 10E4 CFU/mL. For AB detection, the cut-off point of 550 BACT/μL yielded a sensitivity of 91.5%, a negative predictive value of 99.3% and could avoid culturing 74.1% of the samples. No cut-off value could be established for GBS detection.
Conclusions. Although the Sysmex UF-1000i® system is a valid screening method for the AB detection in pregnant population, it is not useful for the identification of GBS bacteriuria in our area. Therefore, the conventional urine culture is still required during pregnancy.
The Yellow Palm Frond as an Instrument for Restructuring and Resource Control in Ogba Culture: Imperatives for the Nigerian Project
Authors: Agi-Otto Obodoegbulam
Published: May 2020

In Ogba culture, most properties are held as a common estate. Though, by dint of hard work, individuals and groups may acquire personal property through purchase or bequest. Among the people, there is a distinction between mine, ours and theirs. Similarly, there is a strict distinction in explaining concepts such as for me, for them and for us. On this premise, individuals, groups and the wider society feel morally bound and might be ready to go to any length to protect what is theirs. This paper examines the Ogba concept of restructuring and resource control. The study identifies and explains the yellow palm frond as one of the instruments used to agitate for and secure resource control in Ogba culture. The paper observed that at any scene where the palm frond is used, deeper meanings and explanations are insinuated. The purpose of this study was to identify, explain and interpret the yellow palm front as an instrument for resource control in Ogba culture. The paper employed the ethnographic approach in the discussion. The research observes that Ogba people scrupulously apply the yellow palm frond to achieve restructuring and resource control in society. The study concluded that this practice of resource control and restructuring could be of benefit to the Nigerian project if adopted and applied.

Latviešu valodas kā svešvalodas apguve Āzijā
Authors: Laizāne Inga
Published: May 2020

The Latvian language as a foreign language (LATS) is learned both in Latvia and abroad. It can be done in higher education institutions, as well as in different courses and self-directed learning. Outside Latvia, there are many countries and higher education institutions where it is possible to acquire LATS.
In some higher education institutions, the Latvian language has been taught since the beginning of the 20th century. The oldest LATS teaching traditions are in North America, Germany, Sweden, Lithuania and Australia. In some universities, such as Stockholm University, Masaryk University, Saint Petersburg State University, etc., academically strong study programs in Baltic Studies were established. Over time, study programs have been closed for various reasons, at most leaving the Latvian language as an optional course. At some universities, the Latvian language course has been discontinued.
Although in some higher education institutions outside Latvia LATS could be acquired starting from the beginning of the 20th century, the most significant interest in the Latvian language was after the restoration of independence of the Republic of Latvia. Then many higher education institutions in Europe established Latvian language and culture study programs. This interest was related to the geopolitical situation. People tried to get to know the post-Soviet countries through the language. When Latvia joined the European Union, interest in the Latvian language decreased in Europe. Nowadays, interest in the Latvian language has increased in Asia, especially in China.
In Asia, it is possible to acquire the Latvian language in China and Japan. There are established different Latvian language bachelor programs in universities of China while in Japan the Latvian language is taught for somebody interested in Latvian culture and traditions more than in the Latvian language.
Evaluation of the Ability to Respond the Job Placement of Students to Enterprises during Integration 4.0
Authors: Hang N. T. , Huan N. V.
Published: May 2020

Currently, in the curricula of universities and colleges, the integration of skills training for students is a trend, which is also a requirement in the assessment of learning outcomes both standard skills and attitudes. Employers often evaluate candidates based on 3 factors: Knowledge - Skill - Attitude. In particular, the attitude at work is always appreciated because skills can be trained but self-awareness and initiative are not. Therefore, the requirements for students require skills to serve the job position. However, current births lack professional and soft skills. Students from high school to college are not able to adapt to the way of learning and working because the environment is completely different. Most students while still in school are not aware of the importance of skills for job requirements, no sense of study, no spirit of work or have but do not find interest in. Therefore, the work is not at its best and the efficiency is not high. The article focuses on researching and evaluating about ability to respond the job placement of students during integration 4.0, on that basis, to propose effective solutions in training to improve training efficiency, thereby helping students to respond the job position and facilitate finding suitable jobs, increasing competitive advantage in job hunting for students.
« Didactique »?
Authors: Schneuwly Bernard
Published: May 2020

A travers une analyse historique, le texte vise à déterminer les différentes significations du mot « didactique ». Dans le long cours, le didactique est défini comme un rapport entre trois termes – savoir, élèves, enseignants - qui constituent le cœur de la forme école. Ce rapport devient l’objet d’une science normative, plus particulièrement au 17e siècle, constituant aussi une utopie de la possibilité d’accès de chacun aux savoirs ; cette science prend entre autre la forme de la didactique générale. Depuis une cinquantaine d’années, plus particulièrement à partir de la construction des didactiques disciplinaires, la didactique se constitue comme une science avec un corps de concepts propres et des démarches empiriques.

The effect of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in human cancers
Authors: MESCİ Seda , MARAKLİ Sevgi , YAZGAN Burak , YILDIRIM Tuba
Published: May 2020

Multi-drug resistance (MDR) can be defined
as a negative effect on the drug-target relationships, decreasing in intracellular
drug aggregation. ABC (ATP-binding cassette) are popular transporter proteins in
the development of MDR. ABC proteins in the cell membrane structure reduce the
therapeutic efficacy and cause drug resistance in cancer patients. Resistance
to chemotherapy is a remarkable and important issue in the treatment of cancer
patients. These drug resistance proteins interfere with the drugs administered
to patients, resulting in a decrease in bioavailability of these drugs and a
reduction in their passage through the blood-brain barrier. ABC transporters
are the largest family of transmembrane proteins with 8 subfamilies assigned
from A to G based on sequence and structural homology. In this review, general
information about ABC proteins is mentioned and the role of ABC proteins causing
MDR in cancers is also discussed.

Authors: KILINÇ Gözde , KARAOĞLU Mevlüt
Published: May 2020

This study set out to determine the effects of dietary supplementation of grape seed oil and Hypericum perforatum L. extract to the laying hens (Lohmann White, 40 weeks of age) on performance, egg quality and some blood parameters. For this purpose, a total of 336 hens were randomly distributed to the control and other treatment groups, 12 replicates/group with 4 hens/replication. Birds were fed with basal diet only (control group) and the basal diet supplemented with different levels (100, 200, 300 mg/kg) of grape seed oil (GSO-1, GSO-2, GSO-3) and Hypericum perforatum L. extract (HPE-1, HPE-2, HPE-3). Dietary treatments had no significant effect on performance parameters. GSO-3 and HPE-1 supplemental groups presented with increased shell weight (p<0.01) while only GSO-1 group showed increased egg albumen index (p<0.01) and Haugh unit (p<0.05). Among blood parameters, except for serum HDL and total protein, the other blood parameters (serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL, AST, Ca and P) were not affected by the treatments. In conclusion, results showed a partial improvement in some egg quality traits, however, further studies are needed to fully investigate the beneficial effects of these additives in laying hens reared under different stresses.
Agriculture History and Policy
Authors: DEVLET Abdulgani
Published: May 2020

The ancient Fertile Crescent in particular, is commonly comprehended as the origin of agriculture. The location of Western Asia covers the area of Mesopotamia and the Levant, and is limited by Syrian Desert to the south and the Anatolian Plateau to the north. First of all, a good diagnosis is needed to treat the disease, it is necessary to make a good diagnosis and definition for our sectors such as agriculture which connects our past, current and future life. In the agricultural sector, like other sectors, if we ask for a timely diagnosis and treatment of issues; certainly, we don't have to demand more because of neglect. The basis of the agricultural sector also is a science. World population has been growing and natural resources such as land and water is already under stress. To make a nation healthy and to meet food demand along with nutrition security, agriculture would continue remain as the top most priority sector for any country. Agriculture provides food, fibre and raw materials to industry. It contributes significantly to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Agriculture provides cleaner, better environment for people to lead healthy life on earth. Moreover, it provides employment to large section of the people. If a nation has to be strong, then it has to be self-reliant coupled with strong agricultural economy that supports ecological and nutritional security. The history of agriculture has showed an important value in human development. More than half of all human around the World once efforted in farming, and even today, few—if any—humans could survive without it.This paper depicts the agricultural history and policy reforms and structural changes in World from past to the current times.

Published: May 2020

Traditional medicine beliefs are culturally important in some West African communities, where there is a thriving domestic consumer demand for wild animal derivatives. Yet, such practices can threaten the conservation of wild populations and negatively impact animal welfare. To identify those species most likely to be affected, we investigated wildlife derivative trade at the largest fetish market of West Africa in Togo. Specifically, we asked what wild animals or animal products were most profitable, which wild animals were perceived by vendors to have increased most in rarity and what they were used for. A key question was whether vendors also sold plant-based alternatives. Vendors provided 36 local animal names, from which we inferred an estimated 281 species. Thirteen percent of these inferred species are categorised on the IUCN Red List as threatened (n = 35); 26% are declining (n = 72). The most commonly cited most profitable wildlife derivatives were “Pangolin” and “Python”; the most commonly cited most profitable live wild animal was “Chameleon”. Overall, wildlife use was predominantly spiritual rather than medicinal. Plant-based alternatives were available, but comprised < 40% of sales and appeared to be considered less important or less useful than wild animal products. The legal status of this domestic trade in Togo is unclear given the existence of potentially conflicting national legislation. In addition to further research focused on the actual impacts on populations and individuals of the species indicated, socio-economic importance of this trade, societal pressures driving consumer demand and an assessment of the feasibility of sustainable plant-based alternatives is warranted.
Hydroxychloroquine in Patients with Rheumatic Disease Complicated by COVID-19: Clarifying Target Exposures and the Need for Clinical Trials

Objective.

To characterize hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) exposure in patients with rheumatic disease receiving longterm HCQ compared to target concentrations with reported antiviral activity against the coronavirus disease 2019 caused by SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).

Method.

We evaluated total HCQ concentrations in serum and plasma from published literature values, frozen serum samples from a pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus trial, and simulated concentrations using a published pharmacokinetic model during pregnancy. For each source, we compared observed or predicted HCQ concentrations to target concentrations with reported antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2.

Results.

The average total serum/plasma HCQ concentrations were below the lowest SARS-CoV-2 target of 0.48 mg/l in all studies. Assuming the highest antiviral target exposure (total plasma concentration of 4.1 mg/l), all studies had about one-tenth the necessary concentration for in vitro viral inhibition. Pharmacokinetic model simulations confirmed that pregnant adults receiving common dosing for rheumatic diseases did not achieve target exposures; however, the models predict that a dosage of 600 mg once a day during pregnancy would obtain the lowest median target exposure for most patients after the first dose.

Conclusion.

We found that the average patient receiving treatment with HCQ for rheumatic diseases, including children and non-pregnant/pregnant adults, are unlikely to achieve total serum or plasma concentrations shown to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. Nevertheless, patients receiving HCQ long term may have tissue concentrations far exceeding that of serum/plasma. Because the therapeutic window for HCQ in the setting of SARS-CoV-2 is unknown, well-designed clinical trials that include patients with rheumatic disease are urgently needed to characterize the efficacy, safety, and target exposures for HCQ.

The bioengineer plays an important role on the limb salvage team. At the present time, custom joint implants are opening up new horizons in rehabilitation of patients following resection of bone tumors. In the future, modular prosthetic systems such as the system described will eliminate the need for individual, customized manufacture of prostheses and will make these oncological reconstructive techniques more available.

Aproximación a Internet y su impacto en las bibliotecas y servicios de información
Authors: Martínez de Madariaga R. , Arroyo Fernández D.
Published: May 2020

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar Internet desde un doble aspecto: desde la perspectiva de sus protocolos TCP/IP, como una extensa red de redes que está imponiéndose de hecho; desde el enfoque de las unidades de información como una gigantesca colección de documentos que escapan al control bibliográfico tradicional. Se estudian los tres procedimientos básicos para interactuar en Internet: Telnet, FTP y SMTP (el correo electrónico); así como los recursos de información más importantes disponibles en la red: OPACs, bases de datos, revistas, listas electrónicas y otros. A la par que Internet crece y se complica se han ido creando potentes herramientas de programación que permiten navegar en el intrincado espacio lógico configurado por la red; son descritas Archie, Hytelnet, WAIS, Gopher, Veronica, WWW. Finalmente se señalan algunos aspectos en torno al impacto de Internet sobre las tareas
propias de bibliotecarios y documentalistas.

Enfoques objetivo y subjetivo del concepto de información
Authors: Fernández-Molina J. Carlos
Published: May 2020

La búsqueda de un concepto adecuado de información ha sido una constante en los estudios teóricos llevados a cabo en el seno de la Documentación. El análisis de las propuestas realizadas permite distinguir dos grandes grupos: las que ven la información como algo fisico, objetivo, y las que la consideran como algo cognitivo, subjetivo. Se analizan algunos de los ejemplos más representativos de ambas tendencias, aunque haciendo un especial hincapié en las propuestas del segundo grupo, por considerarlas más relevantes.
Intravenous Infusion of Cortisol, Adrenaline, or Noradrenaline Alters Porcine Immune Cell Numbers and Promotes Innate over Adaptive Immune Functionality

Published: May 2020

Despite the importance of pigs (Sus scrofa domestica) in livestock production and their increasing role as a model organism for human physiology, knowledge about the porcine immune system under the influence of stress hormones is fragmentary. Exceptionally little is known about the effects of catecholamines. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the in vivo effects of adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol on number and functionality of porcine blood immune cells. Castrated male pigs (n = 34) were treated with physiological doses of either adrenaline, noradrenaline, or cortisol via i.v. infusion for 48 h. Blood samples were collected before treatment (−24 h, −22 h, 0 h), during treatment (+2 h, +24 h, +48 h), and at 72 h postinfusion. Immune cell numbers and phagocytic activity were evaluated by flow cytometry and lymphocyte proliferation by 3H-thymidine incorporation. Total IgG and IgM Ab levels were determined via ELISA. Pigs receiving cortisol showed strongly decreased adaptive immune cell numbers and increased neutrophils, accompanied by hampered lymphocyte proliferation but increased monocyte phagocytosis. Catecholamine effects on immune cell numbers were mostly similar to cortisol in direction but smaller in intensity and duration. Lymphocyte proliferation was inhibited after 2 h of noradrenaline infusion, and both catecholamines promoted monocyte and neutrophil phagocytosis. These findings indicate a shift from adaptive to innate immunity in stressful situations. This study is the first (to our knowledge) to systematically investigate specific glucocorticoid and catecholamine actions on the porcine immune system in this level of detail and confirms many similarities to humans, thus strengthening the pig as a human model in psychoneuroimmunology.
Intraoperative refractory status epilepticus caused by propofol -a case report-
Authors: Kumar Abhyuday , Kumar Amarjeet , Kumar Neeraj , Kumar Ajeet
Published: May 2020

Background: Status epilepticus, when continued despite the administration of two antiepileptic drugs, is called refractory status epilepticus (RSE). The seizure-like phenomenon due to propofol is widely reported in the literature. However, RSE caused by propofol is rare and is a diagnostic dilemma. Case: A 44-year-old male patient presented with RSE during the intraoperative period and was under general anesthesia on propofol infusion. The seizure was resistant to benzodiazepines and phenytoin. Thereafter, the seizure subsided after the discontinuation of propofol infusion, and the patient was shifted to fentanyl and dexmedetomidine infusion for the maintenance of anesthesia. The postoperative follow-up was uneventful. Conclusions: This article focuses on the management of intractable intraoperative seizure and highlights the need for the exploration of seizure characteristics caused by propofol.

Homology and homotopy complexity in negative curvature
Authors: Bader Uri , Gelander Tsachik , Sauer Roman
Published: May 2020

A classical theorem of Gromov states that the Betti numbers, i.e. the size of the free part of the homology groups, of negatively curved manifolds are bounded by the volume. We prove an analog of this theorem for the torsion part of the homology in all dimensions

d \neq 3

. Thus the total homology is controlled by the volume. This applies in particular to the classical case of hyperbolic manifolds. In dimension 3 the size of torsion homology cannot be bounded in terms of the volume.

As a byproduct, in dimension

d \geq 4

we give a fairly precise estimate for the number of negatively curved manifolds of finite volume, up to homotopy, and in dimension

d \geq 4

up to homeomorphism.

These results are based on an effective simplicial thick-thin decomposition which is of independent interest.
Changing Attitudes Towards Territorial Municipal Reforms – The Case of Inland Norway
Authors: Higdem Ulla , Høyer Hans Christian , Mønness Erik Neslein , Lesjø Jon Helge
Published: May 2020

Inland people’s attitude towards municipal amalgamation reform in Norway from 2013 to 2018 has become more positive. However, a majority does not support the ongoing reform, but the changes have been substantial during such a short time period. However, these changes seem not to be a result of new and more positive judgements of the reforms’ results and outcome. By contrast, the majority has been more critical of anticipated consequences of the amalgamation reform into larger municipalities. Instead, we considered the changes as a type of ‘resignation’ towards a reform pressure from the national government and general changes in their environment. More citizens’ assess that positive municipal economic development and more local competence are favourable effects of mergers, and this finding supports this claim. The reform is likely to catch up with their local units anyway, and the citizens’ attitudes are adapting to what they expect will occur in the upcoming years.
