Authors: GÜRCAN Halil İbrahim , KUMCUOĞLU İpek Kumcuoğlu
Published: June 2018

Geçmişten günümüze baktığımızda, medya işletmeciliği kavramının medya araçlarının çeşitlenmesi ile birlikte geliştiği görülmektedir. Bu çalışma, geleneksel medya işletmeciliğinden yeni medya işletmeciliğine evrilen süreci, yeni medya işletmeciliği kavramı çerçevesinde anlatmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, ilk önce medya işletmeciliğinin tarihsel gelişimi özetlenerek geleneksel medya işletmeciliği kavramı anlatılmış, daha sonra ise yeni medya ile birlikte değişen medya işletmeciliği üzerinde durularak yeni nesil medya işletmeleri olarak da ifade edilebilen yeni medya işletmeleri özelinde bir tanım yapılmaya çalışılmıştır. İnternet teknolojilerinin yaygınlaşması ve yeni medya kavramının ortaya çıkması ile birlikte medyanın “geleneksel” ve “yeni” biçiminde ayrışması nedeniyle, çalışmada, medya işletmeciliği kavramını da artık “geleneksel medya işletmeciliği” ve “yeni medya işletmeciliği” biçiminde sınıflandırmanın, işletmecilik anlamında yaşanan değişimleri daha iyi analiz etmeyi sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Verilerin ilgili literatür taraması yapılarak elde edildiği bu makale, nitel ve betimleyici bir yöntemle kaleme alınmıştır.
Rol Çatışması, Rol Belirsizliği ve İş Tatmini Arasındaki İlişkiler: İletişim Fakültesi Dekanları Üzerine Bir Uygulama
Authors: ERTEM ERAY Tuğçe
Published: June 2018

Kurum ve kuruluşların etkili ve başarılı olmaları bir çok etkenle beraber yönetimin başarısına da bağlıdır. Her kademedeki yöneticinin rollerini tam anlamıyla bilmeleri ve yerine getirmeleri önem taşımaktadır. Bu anlamda, fakültelerin yönetiminden sorumlu dekanların da kendilerinden beklenen rolleri doğru bir şekilde yerine getirmeleri ve yaptıkları işten tatmin olmaları gerekmektedir. Rol çatışması, rol belirsizliği ve iş tatmini üzerine çok sayıda çalışmaya rastlanmakla beraber konuya akademik personel bağlamında yaklaşan çalışmaların sınırlı olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışma, literatürdeki boşluğu doldurmak adına, Türkiye’deki iletişim fakültesi dekanları üzerinde, rol çatışması, rol belirsizliği ve iş tatmini arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç çerçevesinde, oluşturulan soru formu Türkiye’deki İletişim Fakültesi dekanlarına uygulanmıştır. Araştırma neticesinde, rol çatışmasının iş tatmini üzerinde doğrudan bir etkisi olmadığı, rol belirsizliği ile iş tatmini arasında, negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Kitle iletişim teknolojilerinin gelişmesiyle, gündelik yaşam pratikleri kitlesel ve popülerüretim zincirinin içine dahil olmuş ve küresel düzeyde yaygınlaşmıştır. Totalitersistemlerde zor kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen uygulamalar, demokrasilerde rızanınüretimi ile başarılmaktadır. Bu sebeple medyanın, eğitim sisteminin ve popüler kültürün,özellikle küresel düzeyde egemen güçlerin istekleri doğrultusunda, rızanın imalatı içinçalışması gerekmektedir. Günümüzde basit bir “şey” olarak üretilen bir fikir veya eylembir anda popülerleştirilebilmekte ve ürün haline getirilebilmektedir. İnsanların kendifotoğraflarını akıllı telefonlarla veya web kameralarla çekip herhangi bir sosyal medyaortamında paylaşma eylemi olarak ortaya çıkan “selfie” de özellikle son iki yılda birfenomen haline gelmiştir. İnsanlar bir zamanlar yabancılarla paylaşmaktan çekindiklerien özel anlarını bile selfie akımı aracılığıyla, kendi rızalarıyla fotoğraflamakta vesosyal medyada paylaşmaktadırlar. Bu çalışmada sosyal medyadaki selfie akımı,Chomsky’nin “Rızanın İmalatı” modelinden yola çıkılarak, eleştirel kuram bağlamındaanaliz edilmiş, küresel ideolojinin hegemonya yoluyla tek tipleştirme çabasının kodlarıgözler önüne serilmiştir.

Published: June 2018

Kadın çalışmaları literatüründe “femicide” olarak kullanılan kadın cinayeti olgusu,kadınların, kadın olmalarından dolayı eril şiddet yoluyla öldürülmelerini ifade etmektedir.Kadınlar başta eşleri, eski eşleri, birlikte olduğu erkekler gibi en yakınlarındaki ya dahiç tanımadıkları erkekler tarafından cinayete kurban gitmektedir. Kadın bedeni vecinselliği üzerindeki eril denetim ve tahakküm, şeref ve namus adı altında evlilikteve kamusal alanda kadınların ölümlerine neden olmaktadır. Öyle ki dünya genelindeher yıl yaklaşık 66.000 kadın öldürülmektedir. Türkiye’de de son on iki yılda 1.246,son bir yılda da 300’e yakın kadın cinayeti işlenmiştir. Kadın cinayetlerinin faillerininbüyük çoğunluğunun akraba erkekler olması, ataerkil toplumsal yapı ve değerlerleonları yeniden üreten mekanizmaları sorgulamayı gerekli kılmaktadır. Ulaştığı kitleninyaygınlığı ve ileri teknoloji dolayısıyla yazılı ve görsel medya bunlardan birisidir. Kadıncinayetlerine ilişkin haberlerde kullanılan üslup, semboller, işaretler, sayılar, sözcüklerve fotoğraflarla egemen eril değerler ile toplumsal cinsiyet düzeni yeniden üretilmekteve pekiştirilmektedir.Bu makalede medyanın rolü Radikal gazetesi örneğinde ele alınmaktadır.

Perceived and reported romantic and sexual outcomes in long-distance and geographically close relationships
Authors: Goldsmith Kaitlyn M. , Byers E. Sandra
Published: June 2018

More and more young people are in long-distance relationships (LDRs). However, little is known about perceived or reported outcomes of LDRs compared to geographically close relationships (GCRs). This investigation compared the relationship outcomes (Study 1) and perceived outcomes (Study 2) of individuals in LDRs and GCRs. In Study 1, young adults in LDRs (n=232) and GCRs (n=263) completed an online survey assessing relationship and sexual outcomes (romantic satisfaction, sexual satisfaction, extradyadic sexual activity); individuals in LDRs also rated the positive and negative impacts of being in an LDR. Individuals in LDRs and GCRs had similar satisfaction, a similar likelihood of engaging in extradyadic sexual activity, and perceived the impact of being in an LDR as more positive than negative. In Study 2, young adults (N=626) recruited online were randomly assigned to rate the same outcomes for a hypothetical couple in an LDR or GCR. Observers perceived being in an LDR as having a more negative than positive impact on the sexual relationship. However, satisfaction ratings for both LDRs and GCRs were high although individuals in LDRs were perceived as having significantly lower satisfaction than reported in Study 1. Few gender differences emerged, and perceptions were not affected by participants' past experience being in an LDR. Overall, the results suggest that outcomes for LDRs and GCRs are similar and that people have generally positive perceptions of LDRs. These results have positive implications for young adults, given the popularity of LDRs in this age group.

Published: June 2018

The main goal of any DNA extraction procedure is to ensure reliable and reproducible results in a simple, fast and inexpensive manner. When it comes to plant tissues, this goal is challenging to achieve due to the presence of a variety of metabolites that interfere with DNA during isolation and downstream analysis. In this study, we compared the efficiency of three methods for DNA extraction from plum kernels: 1) the standard CTAB Soltis method which is the most common protocol for DNA extraction from various plant tissues (seeds, young leafs, mature leafs, root); 2) CTAB-based method originally described for DNA isolation from medicinal plants with high levels of secondary metabolites; 3) and one of various commercially available kits. The usefulness of the obtained DNA was evaluated by SSR analysis with seven microsatellite markers. Although the latter two extraction protocols retrieved genomic DNA that gave positive PCR results, only DNA isolated by kit produced full SSR profile.

Published: June 2018

Mutation analysis in forensic genetics and occurrence of mutations at short-tandem repeat (STR) loci, are very important in paternity testing and precise elucidation of obtained genetic profiles. To determine these locus-specific mutations in Bosnian-Herzegovinian population and their rate, 15 or 22 autosomal loci were typed using PowerPlex 16 and PowerPlex Fusion systems. In total, 1253 individuals within 583 parenthood testing cases were profiled at the Institute for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, University of Sarajevo during the period from 2009-2018. Out of total cases, in 13 cases 14 mutations were discovered at 11 loci. Among all tested DNA profiles two mutations occurred at D8S1179, D18S51 and FGA loci each, and one mutation at PENTA D, D3S1358, CSF1P0, D21S11, D5S818, vWA, D16S539, PENTA E. Mutation rates were calculated for 11 loci and were in consistency with mutation rates reported for correspondent locus. In our study, one mutation at locus PENTA D derives from maternal source. Also in one trio paternity case two single-step mutations at loci D16S539 and D18S51 were observed. Our results confirmed mutation analysis is important in paternity testing and therefore much attention should be directed at their analysis.
In silico prediction of mtDNA Gene Expression Based on Codon Usage Bias in Ants (Formicidae Latreille, 1802) that Inhabit Limestone Quarry Ecosystems
Authors: Dorić Semir , Osmanković Dinko , Lukić Bilela Lada
Published: June 2018

Codon usage is considered as a modulator of gene expression, due to high correlation between codon usage, tRNA abundance and the level of gene expression. Adaptability is primarily manifested at gene level therefore mtDNA gene expression analysis may indicate trends toward the development of adaptive traits for specific environmental conditions. Moreover, modified gene expression patterns may result from such adaptations. Due to their sensitivity to environmental disturbances, great functional importance and accessibility ants (Family: Formicidae Latreille, 1802) are excellent model organisms for  molecular and bioinformatics genome analysis. This in silico simulation is based on the comparison of codon usage bias and the level of gene expression of currently available mitochondrial protein-coding genes of ant species that were sampled at quarry Ribnica (Kakanj, Bosnia and Herzegovina). MILC and MELP algorithms were used forcodon usage bias analysis and mitochondrial gene expression prediction, respectively. The analysis included four mtDNA protein-coding genes from eight selected species of ants totaling in 32 protein sequences. The results of codon usage analysis indicated no statistically significant differences in codon usage bias, as well as relative frequencies of the gene expression level.  The next step should be directed to molecular ecology studies, even using whole genome measures of gene expression (RNA-seq; transcriptomics) to capture molecular response to environmental challenges.

Journey Motif in the Bahá’í Faith
Authors: Danesh Roshan
Published: June 2018

This article explores the concept of “journey” in the Bahá’í Faith from spiritual, social, and historical perspectives. Because the process of individual spiritual growth lies at the heart of human purpose according to the Bahá’í teachings, the individual spiritual journey is a central theme in scripture and authoritative texts. Furthermore, Bahá’u’lláh speaks about the collective spiritualization of humanity—a process which carries with it the necessary creation of new patterns of community and social relations—as the “journey” of the human body politic. In this paper, the relationship between the individual and the collective journey is examined through the lens of the history of the spread of the Bahá’í Faith and compared with the literal journeys undertaken by the Báb, Bahá’u’lláh, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, and Shoghi Effendi.
Dangerous speculation
Authors: Schiffauer Leonie
Published: June 2018

The people of Aga, a small district in southeastern Siberia, have in recent years become managers, missionaries, and victims of a wave of pyramid and Ponzi schemes. The schemes come with the promise to make people rich. In reality, they benefit only a small minority of investors while increasing financial difficulties for the majority of participants and causing severe social conflict. This article deals with the local manifestation of these economic forms. Based on the ethnographic investigation of a pyramid scheme, I discuss techniques of make-believe in order to show how ordinary people become involved in a financial hoax. My discussion provides insights into the ways in which speculative thinking shapes imaginative horizons, pervades social logics, and impacts economic realities in a post-Soviet environment.
The temporality of illegality
Authors: Garza Ana Gutiérrez
Published: June 2018

Through an ethnography of undocumented migrants from Latin America
to London, I explore the temporality of illegality as a piecemeal process in which
migrants find themselves embodying new ways of being in the world. I investigate
the power of illegality beyond its legal connotations and through the analysis of
the everyday experiences of migrants in London, I show how it affects the external
structure of migrants’ worlds, as well as their subjectivities. I show how the illegal
status is imagined, embodied, and sustained over an indefinite and uncertain
length of time. Undocumented migrants in London are required to slowly adapt,
to wait through anxious engagements with other people, and to deal with a legal
system that controls their fractured presents and their uncertain futures.
The commons, property, and ownership
Authors: Bodirsky Katharina
Published: June 2018

In response to the theme section on commoning in the December 2017 issue of Focaal, this article raises further questions for discussion and proposes an analytics of the commons that grasps it through the lens of property regimes. The key question concerns how we might best envision the relation of the commons/ commoning to the state, capitalism, and commonality in a way that does justice to both a broadly Leftist politics of the commons and an analysis of really existing commons that might deviate from this ideal. The conceptual lens of property regimes proposed here focuses empirical attention on relations of production and the organization of membership and ownership in the commons without including a particular politics into the definition as such.
LGBTI Rights and the 2017 German National Election
Authors: Davidson-Schmich Louise K.
Published: June 2018

This article examines the 2017 German national election through
the lens of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) interests. It
depicts the ways in which sexual minorities articulated their policy preferences,
the degree to which these positions were taken up in party platforms
and electoral discourse, and the extent to which the resulting coalition agreement
pledged to address queer citizens’ concerns. I argue that, as a result of
what Sarah Childs and Mona Lena Krook call a critical actor, this election
provided sexual minorities with a high degree of responsiveness on one core
issue: marriage equality. Other issues of interest to LGBTI voters, however,
remained largely invisible. The conclusions here are based on analysis of primary
documents including interest group statements, party platforms, and
coalition agreements, as well as on German-language news coverage of the
election campaign.
The CDU/CSU’s Ambivalent 2017 Campaign
Authors: Clemens Clay
Published: June 2018

Four inter-related factors shaped the 2017 campaign of Angela
Merkel’s CDU/CSU: (1) ambivalence over her successful modernization of the
CDU; (2) fallout from her 2015 refugee policy; (3) a party strategy that bred
complacency while mobilizing skeptics; and (4) tactical miscalculations.
Merkel’s CDU/CSU came in first, but suffered record losses, while the rightwing
populist Alternative for Germany emerged as Germany’s third party.
The campaign, its result and—with a fragmented and polarized party system—
her need to build another grand coalition all seemed sure to fuel recrimi -
nations within the CDU/CSU over identity, strategy, and personnel in a post
Merkel era.
De que maneira o discurso do analista possibilita fazer furo no discurso capitalista?
Authors: Dias Brendali
Published: June 2018

Existem diferenças fundamentais entre a estrutura dos quatro discursos e a estrutura do discurso capitalista. Essas diferenças estruturais dizem respeito à impossibilidade, à impotência e à verdade nos discursos, e tais diferenças levam à ruptura dos laços sociais no discurso capitalista. Existe ainda uma diferença fundamental entre o discurso do analista e os outros três discursos, ainda que a estrutura dos quatro discursos seja a mesma. Este artigo tem o objetivo de demonstrar as diferenças estruturais dos quatro discursos em relação à estrutura do discurso capitalista e a diferença fundamental entre o discurso do analista e os outros três discursos, tecendo comentários sobre por que o discurso do analista pode fazer furo no discurso capitalista na clínica.
Psicanálise x Religião: que triunfo?
Authors: Bittencourt Maria Vitoria
Published: June 2018

O presente artigo pretende levantar uma questão de um dos problemas cruciais da Psicanálise na atualidade: a presença da religião em nossa sociedade. A partir de afirmações de Lacan em 1974, em que anuncia o triunfo da religião, assim como de suas elaborações em seu texto A terceira, esse trabalho procura examinar o fundamento dessa posição de Lacan assim como as consequências para a clínica psicanalítica. Trata-se de articular a relação entre psicanálise e religião e seus efeitos para o conceito de sintoma como real, tentando dar uma resposta política à prática dos psicanalistas: deter o sentido “religioso” que alimenta o sintoma.

Conclui que o nome próprio do sinthoma no final de uma análise pode enodar o que é da ordem do objeto, escrevendo de maneira contingente o traço, enquanto marca, que cessa de não se escrever. Buscou-se articular, também, algumas considerações acerca do discurso de analista e das nomeações no âmbito da Escola.
Nouvelle économie du narcissisme

Ce texte indique un renouvellement du concept de narcissisme des changements introduits par Lacan, les trottoirs dans l’avènement de la théorie du nœud borroméen. Pour cela, l’auteur montre comment l’enregistrement imaginaire a été examiné par Lacan à sa subordination à la symbolique. Reprise du stade du miroir, qui souligne les conséquences de cette nouvelle interprétation du concept de narcissisme, établissant trois narcissismes: l’image, le désir et le plaisir. Ainsi, l’auteur propose une nouvelle économie du narcissisme à travers le mythe de Narcisse, relectures d’une étude sur l’escabeau, où la dimension de l’imagination est élargie avec l’inclusion de l’objet. Cette conception a un impact considérable sur la question des liens sociaux aujourd’hui.
Stomaching the Possibility of a Pathogenic Role for Helicobacter pylori in Parkinson’s Disease
Authors: McGee David J. , Lu Xiao-Hong , Disbrow Elizabeth A.
Published: June 2018

While a small subset of Parkinson’s disease cases have genetic causes, most cases are sporadic and may have an environmental contributor that has largely remained enigmatic. Remarkably, gastrointestinal symptoms in PD patients serve as a prodrome for the eventual motor dysfunctions. Herein, we review studies exploring a possible link between the gastric human pathogen Helicobacter pylori and PD. We provide plausible and testable hypotheses for how this organism might contribute to PD: 1) a toxin(s) produced by the bacteria; 2) disruption of the intestinal microbiome; 3) local inflammation that crosses the gut-brain axis, leading to neuroinflammation; and 4) manipulation of the pharmacokinetics of the PD drug levodopa by H. pylori, even in those not receiving exogenous levodopa. Key findings are: 1) people with PD are 1.5-3-fold more likely to be infected with H. pylori than people without PD; 2) H. pylori-infected PD patients display worse motor functions than H. pylori-negative PD patients; 3) eradication of H. pylori improves motor function in PD patients over PD patients whose H. pylori was not eradicated; and 4) eradication of H. pylori improves levodopa absorption in PD patients compared to that of PD patients whose H. pylori was not eradicated. Evidence is accumulating that H. pylori has a link with PD, but the mechanism is unclear. Future work should explore the effects of H. pylori on development of PD in defined PD animal models, focusing on the roles of H. pylori toxins, inflammation, levodopa absorption, and microbiome dysbiosis.
Effect of ultrasound treatment on protein content and functional properties of Spirulina powder grown in Algeria
Authors: Boukhari Nabil , Doumandji Amel , Sabrine Ait chaouche Feriel , Ferradji Ali
Published: June 2018

There is an important interest to research new protein sources. In this context, Microalgae, particularly Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis), seems to be a good alternative due to its wealthy nutritional composition. The aim of this study is to optimize Spirulina functional properties and to extract protein from whole biomass using (RSM). Ultrasound wad used as pre-treatment to optimize functional properties and to extract proteins from Spirulina powder by isoelectric precipitation. The effect of ultrasound and remaining parameters (pH, temperature, solid to liquid ratio and time) was evaluated by Box-Behnken design. The model was fitted by ANOVA analysis. ANOVA analysis showed a significant model (p < 0.05) for functional properties and protein extraction. The protein content of Spirulina powder was found to be 55% (w/w). There is a significant effect of ultrasound on functional properties and protein extraction from Spirulina. The optimum Water Holding Capacity (WHC) was 4.97 g H2O/g Spirulina powder, obtained at pH 4, 50 W power and 5 min sonication. The optimum Oil Holding Capacity (OHC) is 2.3 g H2O/g Spirulina powder, it was obtained at 50°C temperature, 70 w power and 10 min sonication.

Model Reference Adaptive System for the Online Rotor Resistance Estimation in the Slip-Ring Machine Based Test-bench
Authors: Égető Tamás , Farkas Balázs
Published: June 2018

Motor control algorithms with high dynamics are generally based on two basic approach field oriented control (FOC) and direct torque control (DTC). The idea of the first one is to decompose the stator current based on the rotor flux, the second one controls the torque based on the stator flux. Therefore, the FOC is very sensitive to the parameter accuracy regarding the drive performance. That is why it is crucial to verify the parameter identification in the real environment. On the other hand, the parameter sensitivity of DTC is much smaller since the stator flux estimation requires only the knowledge of the stator resistance. The article focuses on the verification of rotor resistance identification in the FOC based drive system by means of the slip ring machine based test bench. The recommended procedure calculates the torque based on the stator current and flux to implement model reference adaptive system for online rotor resistance estimation without signal injection.

A new screw conveyor with flexible discrete spiral blades is proposed to solve the problem of particle material gathering between the screw and the tube wall in the traditional screw conveyor. With a theoretical analysis, the power consumption model of the screw conveyor with flexible discrete spiral blades is built. Then, its practicability is verified by simulation and experimental testing. The simulation results show that the increase of the spiral angle will raise the transportation speed of the particles. The diameter of the flexible blades raises with the increase of the power consumption of the screw conveyor. The experimental testing verified the analysis and simulation results.

Published: June 2018

Collusion attack is one of the techniques used for unauthorized removal of embedded marks. However, there are no algorithms that utilize the averaging-resilient fingerprint code into 3D mesh watermarking. In this paper, we propose a collusion resilient 3D mesh watermark based on mesh spectral analysis and the anti-collusion fingerprint code. We present two fingerprint schemes by exploiting the theoretically proven anti-collusion codes: the group-divisible partially balanced incomplete block design, and Tardos’s fingerprint code. The proposed extraction scheme not only met the requirement for an anti-collusion code but also provided sufficient length of the payload for the fingerprint code. To minimize the detection error, we also modeled the response of the detector and herein present optimized thresholds for our method. Based on the experiments with public benchmarks, the proposed method outperformed conventional robust mesh watermarking against collusion attack, and provided robustness to the combination of a small amount of added noise and collusion attack.
Extending the Depth of Field beyond Geometrical Imaging Limitations Using Phase Noise as a Focus Measure in Multiwavelength Digital Holography

Published: June 2018

Digital holography is a well-established technology for optical quality control in industrial applications. Two common challenges in digital holographic measurement tasks are the ambiguity at phase steps and the limited depth of focus. With multiwavelength holography, multiple artificial wavelengths are used to extend the sensor’s measurement range up to several millimeters, allowing measurements on rough surfaces. To further extend the unambiguous range, additional highly stabilized and increasingly expensive laser sources can be used. Besides that, unwrapping algorithms can be used to overcome phase ambiguities—but these require continuous objects. With the unique feature of numerical refocusing, digital holography allows the numerical generation of an all-in-focus unambiguous image. We present a shape-from-focus algorithm that allows the extension of the depth of field beyond geometrical imaging limitations and yields unambiguous height information, even across discontinuities. Phase noise is used as a focus criterion and to generate a focus index map. The algorithm’s performance is demonstrated at a gear flank with steep slopes and a step sample with discontinuities far beyond the system’s geometrical limit. The benefit of this method on axially extended objects is discussed.

Aerosol particles are important due to their direct and indirect impacts on climate. Within the planetary boundary layer (BL), these particles have a relatively short lifetime due to their frequent removal process by wet deposition. When aerosols are transported into the free troposphere (FT), their atmospheric lifetime increases significantly, making them representative of large spatial areas. In this work, we use a combination of in situ measurements performed at the high altitude PUY (Puy de Dôme, 45°46′ N, 2°57′ E, 1465 m a.s.l) station, together with LIDAR profiles at Clermont-Ferrand for characterizing FT conditions, and further characterize the physical properties of aerosol in this poorly documented area of the atmosphere. First, a combination of four criteria was used to identify whether the PUY station lies within the FT or within the BL. Results show that the PUY station is located in BL with frequencies ranging from 50% during the winter, up to 97% during the summer. Then, the classification is applied to a year-long dataset (2015) of particle size distribution data to study the differences in particle physical characteristics (size distribution) and black carbon (BC) concentrations between the FT and the BL. Although BC, Aitken, and the accumulation mode particles concentrations were higher in the BL than in the FT in winter and autumn, they were measured to be higher in the FT compared to BL in spring. No significant difference between the BL and the FT concentrations was observed for the nucleation mode particles for all seasons, suggesting a continuous additional source of nucleation mode particles in the FT during winter and autumn. Coarse mode particle concentrations were found higher in the FT than in the BL for all seasons and especially during summer. This indicates an efficient long-range transport of large particles in the FT from distant sources (marine and desert) due to higher wind speeds in the FT compared to BL. For FT air masses, we used 204-h air mass back-trajectories combined with boundary layer height estimations from ECMWF ERA-Interim to assess the time they spent in the FT since their last contact with the BL and to evaluate the impact of this parameter on the aerosol properties. We observed that even after 75 h without any contact with the BL, FT aerosols preserve specific properties of their air mass type.
Role of Minimal (Measurable) Residual Disease Assessment in Older Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Published: June 2018

Minimal (or measurable) residual (MRD) disease provides a biomarker of response quality for which there is robust validation in the context of modern intensive treatment for younger patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Nevertheless, it remains a relatively unexplored area in older patients with AML. The lack of progress in this field can be attributed to two main reasons. First, physicians have a general reluctance to submitting older adults to intensive chemotherapy due to their frailty and to the unfavourable biological disease profile predicting a poor outcome following conventional chemotherapy. Second, with the increasing use of low-intensity therapies (i.e., hypomethylating agents) differing from conventional drugs in mechanism of action and dynamics of response, there has been concomitant skepticism that these schedules can produce deep hematological responses. Furthermore, age dependent differences in disease biology also contribute to uncertainty on the prognostic/predictive impact in older adults of certain genetic abnormalities including those validated for MRD monitoring in younger patients. This review examines the evidence for the role of MRD as a prognosticator in older AML, together with the possible pitfalls of MRD evaluation in older age.
Fusogenic Viruses in Oncolytic Immunotherapy
Authors: Krabbe Teresa , Altomonte Jennifer
Published: June 2018

Oncolytic viruses are under intense development and have earned their place among the novel class of cancer immunotherapeutics that are changing the face of cancer therapy. Their ability to specifically infect and efficiently kill tumor cells, while breaking immune tolerance and mediating immune responses directed against the tumor, make oncolytic viruses highly attractive candidates for immunotherapy. Increasing evidence indicates that a subclass of oncolytic viruses, which encodes for fusion proteins, could outperform non-fusogenic viruses, both in their direct oncolytic potential, as well as their immune-stimulatory properties. Tumor cell infection with these viruses leads to characteristic syncytia formation and cell death due to fusion, as infected cells become fused with neighboring cells, which promotes intratumoral spread of the infection and releases additional immunogenic signals. In this review, we discuss the potential of fusogenic oncolytic viruses as optimal candidates to enhance immunotherapy and initiate broad antitumor responses. We provide an overview of the cytopathic mechanism of syncytia formation through viral-mediated expression of fusion proteins, either endogenous or engineered, and their benefits for cancer therapy. Growing evidence indicates that fusogenicity could be an important feature to consider in the design of optimal oncolytic virus platforms for combinatorial oncolytic immunotherapy.
Supporting Parent Caregivers of Children with Life-Limiting Illness
Authors: Koch Kendra D. , Jones Barbara L.
Published: June 2018

The well-being of parents is essential to the well-being of children with life-limiting illness. Parents are vulnerable to a range of negative financial, physical, and psychosocial issues due to caregiving tasks and other stressors related to the illness of their child. Pediatric palliative care practitioners provide good care to children by supporting their parents in decision-making and difficult conversations, by managing pain and other symptoms in the ill child, and by addressing parent and family needs for care coordination, respite, bereavement, and social and emotional support. No matter the design or setting of a pediatric palliative care team, practitioners can seek to provide for parent needs by referral or intervention by the care team.

Polyethylene oxide (PEO)-modified silicon dioxide (SiO2)-doped crystalline tungsten trioxide (WO3) films for use as electrochromic layers were prepared on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass by the sol–gel spin coating technique. The effects of the PEO template and SiO2 on the electrochromic transmittance modulation ability of crystalline WO3 films were investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra analysis indicated that PEO was decomposed after annealing at 500 °C for 3 h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern analysis showed that both SiO2 and PEO helped reduce the crystalline grain size of the WO3 films. Atomic force microscope (AFM) images showed that the combined action of SiO2 and PEO was helpful for achieving high surface roughness and a macroporous structure. An electrochromic test indicated that PEO-modified SiO2-doped crystalline WO3 films intercalated more charges (0.0165 C/cm2) than pure WO3 crystalline films (0.0095 C/cm2). The above effects resulted in a good transmittance modulation ability (63.2% at 628 nm) of PEO-modified SiO2-doped crystalline WO3 films, which was higher than that of pure WO3 crystalline films (9.4% at 628 nm).
Quantitative Effect of Zr Content on the Structure and Water–Gas Shift Reaction Activities of Gold Supported on Ceria–Zirconia
Authors: Song Li , Zhu Longfeng , Li Lei
Published: June 2018

Effect of Zr content on the structure and water–gas shift reaction catalytic activities of Au-CeO2-ZrO2 catalysts were quantitatively analyzed in detail. For the low ZrO2 content (0–15 wt. %), the Ce-Zr-O solid solutions were formed through the substitutional incorporation of Zr cations into CeO2 lattice, resulting in the contraction of cell parameters a and d-spacing (i.e., lattice distortion) and the increase of microstrain and oxygen vacancies. Quantitatively, the enhanced WGS activities have good linear correlation with the cell parameters a, microstrain, Raman shift and oxygen vacancies. Whereas, for the rich-zirconia (45 wt. %) sample, Au-CeZr-45 has some isolated t-ZrO2 and fluorite CeO2 instead of solid solution. The isolated t-ZrO2 crystallites block the contact between Au and CeO2, resulting in the agglomeration of gold clusters and, as a consequence, poor WGS activity of Au-CeZr-45 catalyst.
The Philosophical and Scientific Metaphysics of David Bohm
Authors: Seager William
Published: June 2018

Although David Bohm’s interpretation of quantum mechanics is sometimes thought to be a kind of regression towards classical thinking, it is in fact an extremely radical metaphysics of nature. The view goes far beyond the familiar but perennially peculiar non-locality and entanglement of quantum systems. In this paper, a philosophical exploration, I examine three core features of Bohm’s metaphysical views, which have been both supported by features of quantum mechanics and integrated into a comprehensive system. These are the holistic nature of the world, the role of a unique kind of information as the ontological basis of the world, and the integration of mentality into this basis as an essential and irreducible aspect of it.
A New Concept of Applying Methanol to Dry Cellulose Insulation at the Stage of Manufacturing a Transformer
Authors: Przybylek Piotr
Published: June 2018

A decisive technical challenge for transformer manufacturers is correctly drying the cellulose insulation. During the production of a transformer, it is necessary to reduce its insulation’s moisture content from about 8% to less than 1% in the shortest possible time period. The drying of insulation is a time-consuming process, and for high-power transformers, it can last up to three weeks. Several drying techniques are used during the production of a transformer, and all of them require heating up the insulation to a high temperature and applying a vacuum. Unfortunately, the use of a high drying temperature above 100 °C can cause a decrease in the degree of cellulose polymerization by over a dozen percentage points. This paper presents a new concept for drying cellulose insulation that does not require heating insulation and applying a vacuum. In this solution, methanol is used as the drying medium. The research results showed the possibility of drying cellulose insulation by means of methanol with different initial moisture contents. The possibility of completely drying pressboard of various thicknesses for a sufficient period of time was also proven. The paper also presents a new concept of both the device and the procedure for drying cellulose insulation by means of methanol.
