Authors: Cruz Ramírez Sandra Jessica
Published: July 2023

Kuautlan (2021) es una videoinstalación performática de Patricia Henríquez realizada en condiciones de aislamiento debido a la pandemia del Covid-19 y transmitida en vivo por el Museo Universitario del Chopo como cierre del proyectoMalinche, Malinches 2020/2021 de La máquina del teatro. La acción de la artista consistió en una intervención plástica sobre la proyección de un archivo audiovisual integrado por cientos de testimonios de mujeres que construían una biografía colectiva. El presente ensayo se deriva de una experiencia situada en la recepción diferida del acontecimiento que se pregunta, a la luz de los aportes de Fischer-Lichte, si la pieza de Henríquez puede ser considerada performática a pesar de su virtualidad.
The Sources for the Studies on the Development of the Publishing Market and Book Prices in the 18th-century Poland
Authors: Socha Klaudia
Published: July 2023

The article focuses on the book production in the 18th century, referring to the preserved documents enabling studies on the publishing process, and the development of book prices at the final period of the noble Polish Republic. Preserved account books present management strategies of publishing companies, the cost of materials, and ways to price the work of typesetters and printers. The other source consists of inserate prints announcing publishing subscriptions, and giving accounts of subsequent editorial and printing works. These materials are extremely valuable, as there are only a very few of them preserved in Poland due to changing fortunes of the printing houses.
Zbierać, aby zniszczyć. Zagłada niemieckich i polskich żydowskich bibliotek naukowych.
Authors: Cieślińska-Lobkowicz Nawojka
Published: July 2023

Żydowskie biblioteki naukowe powstały jako skutek oświecenia żydowskiego i zrodzonej w jego następstwie judaistyki. Stanowiły one fundament tej dynamicznie rozwijanej przez żydowskich badaczy nowej dziedziny wiedzy. Przedmiotem artykułu jest historia trzech bibliotek niemieckich: jednej we Wrocławiu i dwóch w Berlinie, oraz czterech w II Rzeczypospolitej: jednej w Warszawie, dwóch w Wilnie i jednej w Lublinie. Po przedstawieniu tych naukowych żydowskich książnic od ich założenia po dojście Hitlera do władzy (1933 r.) i – odpowiednio – do wybuchu wojny, autorka opisuje ich losy w latach panowania nazistów. Zamknięte, skonfiskowane, zniszczone, splądrowane, wywiezione, wykorzystywane w perwersyjny sposób – wszystkie siedem przestało istnieć. Tematem kolejnej części artykułu jest powojenny podział ocalałych z tych żydowskich bibliotek woluminów. Artykuł zamykają refleksje dotyczące badania proweniencji ocalonych książek, rozproszonych w zbiorach na kilku kontynentach, jako o sposobie uratowania od zapomnienia bibliotek, z których pochodzą.

Sosialisasi Penerapan Health Related Fitness Model (HRV) kepada Guru Penjasorkes SD di Kabupaten Sumedang
Authors: Yudha M Saputra
Published: July 2023

The Health Related Fitness (HRF) model is a learning model that is still rarely applied in Indonesia. The Health Related Fitness (HRF) model can be an alternative learning model that can be integrated with physical education in an effort to provide knowledge and habituation to practice physical activity for children at school. The Health Related Fitness model assumes that physical activity is the core of a healthy lifestyle, and that the development of such a lifestyle requires knowledge of physical fitness which includes the relationship between activity and health, healthy physical skills, and a commitment to the virtues of exercise. In this HRF model students are required to have self-management as one of the formal activities to make students have habits related to fitness training that are more meaningful for students in physical education settings. Therefore, the purpose of this socialization activity is to introduce the HRF model to Physical Education teachers in elementary schools so that it can be applied in the physical education learning process in order to increase the level of fitness and health status of students

Etimologicamente, o termo dispositivo relaciona-se, em primeiro lugar, com a lei e diz respeito "ao enunciado final de uma sentença que contém a decisão do tribunal". Depois passou para a linguagem militar para designar todos os meios arranjados de acordo com um plano (1797, sistema de defesa); seu significado comum "a maneira como os órgãos de um aparelho são arranjados (por volta de 1860) deu origem ao sentido figurativo de arranjo", ao contrário de "a diferença na disposição, é relativamente independente do verbo dispor" (REY, 1995)[1].

Aqui, trata-se de favorecer o ingresso pela documentação, entendida como um processo de mediação que visa facilitar o acesso ao documento e ao seu conteúdo em um determinado contexto. Completar a comunicação entre o conceito de dispositivo com a introdução da função informacional permite posicioná-lo como um conceito fundamental nas Ciências da Informação e da Comunicação. Após um conjunto de definições, faremos a distinção entre dispositivo primário e dispositivo secundário e, em seguida, retornaremos às noções de sociedade da informação e dispositivo documental para mostrar suas possíveis interseções.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to obtain the stress-strain of the cervical spine structure during the simulated manipulation of the oblique pulling manipulation and the cervical rotation-traction manipulation in order to compare the mechanical mechanism of the two manipulations.

Methods: A motion capture system was used to record the key kinematic parameters of operating the two manipulations. At the same time, a three-dimensional finite element model of the C0-T1 full healthy cervical spine was established, and the key kinematic parameters were loaded onto the finite element model in steps to analyze and simulate the detailed process of the operation of the two manipulations.

Results: A detailed finite element model of the whole cervical spine including spinal nerve roots was established, and the validity of this 3D finite element model was verified. During the stepwise simulation of the two cervical spine rotation manipulations to the right, the disc (including the annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus) and facet joints stresses and displacements were greater in the oblique pulling manipulation group than in the cervical rotation-traction manipulation group, while the spinal cord and nerve root stresses were greater in the cervical rotation-traction manipulation group than in the oblique pulling manipulation group. The spinal cord and nerve root stresses in the cervical rotation-traction manipulation group were mainly concentrated in the C4/5 and C5/6 segments.

Conclusion: The oblique pulling manipulation may be more appropriate for the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, while cervical rotation-traction manipulation is more appropriate for the treatment of cervical spondylosis of cervical type. Clinicians should select cervical rotation manipulations for different types of cervical spondylosis according to the patient’s symptoms and needs.

Published: July 2023

Background: Leishmaniasis results in a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from skin lesions at the site of infection to disseminated lesions in internal organs, such as the spleen and liver. While the ability of Leishmania-infected host cells to migrate may be important to lesion distribution and parasite dissemination, the underlying mechanisms and the accompanying role of host cells remain poorly understood. Previously published work has shown that Leishmania infection inhibits macrophage migration in a 2-dimensional (2D) environment by altering actin dynamics and impairing the expression of proteins involved in plasma membrane-extracellular matrix interactions. Although it was shown that L. infantum induces the 2D migration of dendritic cells, in vivo cell migration primarily occurs in 3-dimensional (3D) environments. The present study aimed to investigate the migration of macrophages and dendritic cells infected by Leishmania using a 3-dimensional environment, as well as shed light on the mechanisms involved in this process.

Methods: Following the infection of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM), human macrophages and human dendritic cells by L. amazonensis, L. braziliensis, or L. infantum, cellular migration, the formation of adhesion complexes and actin polymerization were evaluated.

Results: Our results indicate that Leishmania infection inhibited 3D migration in both BMDM and human macrophages. Reduced expression of proteins involved in adhesion complex formation and alterations in actin dynamics were also observed in Leishmania-infected macrophages. By contrast, increased human dendritic cell migration in a 3D environment was found to be associated with enhanced adhesion complex formation and increased actin dynamics.

Conclusion: Taken together, our results show that Leishmania infection inhibits macrophage 3D migration, while enhancing dendritic 3D migration by altering actin dynamics and the expression of proteins involved in plasma membrane extracellular matrix interactions, suggesting a potential association between dendritic cells and disease visceralization.

Authors: Liu Zhi-lin , Chen Yun-jiao , Meng Qing-lei , Zhang Xin , Wang Xue-li
Published: July 2023

As a probiotic, enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, gastric acid resistance, bile salt resistance, etc. It can also effectively improve animal performance and immunity and improve the animal’s intestinal environment, so in recent years it has been more widely used in the livestock industry. However, due to the improper use of antibiotics and the growing environmental stress of strains, the drug resistance of enterococcus faecium has become more and more serious, and because some enterococcus faecium carry virulence genes, leading to the emergence of pathogenic strains, its safety issues have been widely concerned. This paper focuses on the biological characteristics of enterococcus faecium, the application of this bacterium in animal husbandry and the safety issues in its use, with a view to providing a reference for the application of enterococcus faecium in the development of animal husbandry.
Multimodal impressions of voice quality settings: the role of vocal and visual symbolism
Authors: Madureira Sandra , Fontes Mario A. S.
Published: July 2023

This study considers instances of voice quality settings under a sound-symbolic and synesthetic perspective, focusing on the auditory impressions these settings might have on listeners' attributions of meaning effects and associations between vocal and visual features related to emotional expression. Three perceptual experiments are carried out. The first experiment examined the impressionistic effects of eight voice quality settings characterized by differences in pitch. The second experiment examined the impressionistic effects of seven voice quality settings characterized by productions with the presence or absence of turbulent airflow, irregularity, and tenseness. The third experiment investigated associations between facial expressions of basic emotions and voice quality characteristics. Data are considered in terms of acoustic (fundamental frequency values), articulatory (reduced or expanded length of the vocal tract), perceptual impressions of size (big/small), strength (strong/weak), brightness (dark, clear), and distinctiveness (muffled/distinct), and visual features (facial expressions of the basic emotions sadness, happiness, anger, disgust, fear, and neutrality). The results provide corroborating evidence of existing links between sound and meaning and are discussed in relation to the frequency, production, sirenic biological codes, phonetic metaphors, and the vocal and facial gestures involved in emotional expression.

Published: July 2023

Microinvasive cardiac surgery includes procedures performed off-pump, on the beating heart, with limited or absent skin incision, and those that rely on live imaging techniques. Transapical off-pump beating heart neochordae implantation allows the repair of severe mitral valve regurgitation due to leaflet prolapse or flail with live three-dimensional echo guidance. This procedure has shown good results for up to 5 years and can be considered as a valid alternative to conventional surgery in selected patients with high prediction of success based on clinical and anatomical considerations. The aim of this review is to describe the devices, indications, patient screening process, clinical and echocardiographic results, and future perspectives of this procedure.
The evolution of spatiotemporal patterns and influencing factors of high-level tourist attractions in the Yellow River Basin
Authors: Shu Rentian , Xiao Jingyi , Yang Yanxia , Kong Xiangdan
Published: July 2023

Introduction: High-level tourist attractions (HLTAs) are essential components of high-quality tourism development in the Yellow River Basin. In the context of holistic tourism and mass tourism, it is necessary to re-examine the spatial pattern of HLTAs.

Methods: Selecting the Qing–Gan–Ning region of the Yellow River Basin as a case study site, based on the data on 590 high-level tourist attractions in 2009, 2015, and 2021, and with the help of ArcGIS10.8 spatial analysis tools, the nearest neighbor index, kernel density analysis, and standard deviation ellipse methods, such as ellipse and ESDA spatial exploratory analysis, were used to analyze the spatiotemporal pattern of the spatial distribution of high-level tourist attractions in the study area from the aspects of type, density, and spatial autocorrelation. Overlay analysis, buffer analysis, and other methods were used to select the influencing factors, and finally, the influencing factors were verified with the help of GeoDetector.

Conclusions: The conclusions are as follows: the NNI values for the Qing–Gan–Ning area of the Yellow River Basin are 0.699, 0.7, and 0.618, and the spatial structure type was clustered. The distribution density showed an evolutionary trend of point-like agglomeration and linear expansion, with the provincial capital as the core and the Yellow River as the axis. The distribution density of high-level tourist attractions is 27, 44, and 74 per 10,000 km2. In terms of the dynamic distribution direction of the center of mass, there was little interannual variation, showing a northeast–southwest direction, which is consistent with the flow direction of the Yellow River in the region. Furthermore, the analysis of Moran’s I index showed clear spatial autocorrelation at the county scale. HLTAs exhibited clustering and wider distribution in H–H and L–L zones, while the L–H and H–L zones displayed a more dispersed and narrower distribution. The order of factors affecting the spatial distribution of HLTAs was economic factors (0.5257) > social factors (0.5235) > natural factors (0.491), and interactive detection showed that there were two-factor enhancements and nonlinear enhancements in the factors.

Dicussions: This study contributes to the conservation development and sustainable development of ecotourism resources in the Yellow River Basin.

When the 21st century was ushered in, and in the period following its inception, there was a lot of hype about how 21st-century skills, especially the 4Cs (critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity), were going to play a pivotal role for digital learning and workplace environments. Two decades later, these environments are still grappling with the specific changes brought about and the actual role played by these skills in their respective facets. Within these two decades, though, a new hype has emerged about how fourth industrial revolution (4IR) technologies are likely to affect and change the future of digital learning and workplace environments in ways never seen in previous industrial and digital revolutions. Amongst these technologies, artificial intelligence and automation are touted as some of the technologies that will change the future of digital learning and work. Against this background, this paper sets out to critically reflect on the prospects and challenges these two 4IR technologies have for digital learning and work as the 21st century is on the cusp of the third decade. It does so by analysing and discussing AI−/machine−human fused stylised facts based on ChatGPT-generated responses and on a human distillation and reworking of those responses.

Clinical workplace-based learning is essential for undergraduate health professions, requiring adequate training and timely feedback. While the Mini-CEX is a well-known tool for workplace-based learning, its written paper assessment can be cumbersome in a clinical setting. We conducted a utility analysis to assess the effectiveness of an adapted Mini-CEX implemented as a mobile device WebApp for clinical practice assessment. We included 24 clinical teachers from 11 different clinical placements and 95 undergraduate physical therapy students. The adapted Mini-CEX was tailored to align with the learning outcomes of clinical practice requirements and made accessible through a WebApp for mobile devices. To ensure the validity of the content, we conducted a Delphi panel. Throughout the semester, the students were assessed four times while interacting with patients. We evaluated the utility of the adapted Mini-CEX based on validity, reliability, acceptability, cost, and educational impact. We performed factor analysis and assessed the psychometric properties of the adapted tool. Additionally, we conducted two focus groups and analyzed the themes from the discussions to explore acceptability and educational impact. The adapted Mini-CEX consisted of eight validated items. Our analysis revealed that the tool was unidimensional and exhibited acceptable reliability (0.78). The focus groups highlighted two main themes: improving learning assessment and the perceived impact on learning. Overall, the eight-item Mini-CEX WebApp proved to be a valid, acceptable, and reliable instrument for clinical practice assessment in workplace-based learning settings for undergraduate physiotherapy students. We anticipate that our adapted Mini-CEX WebApp can be easily implemented across various clinical courses and disciplines.

Background

Although there is strong evidence linking triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio to insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus, its clinical importance in pregnant women has not been well determined. This study sought to determine the connection between the TG/HDL-C ratio in the first trimester and the eventual onset of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Methods

We performed a secondary analysis of open-access data from a prospective cohort study. This present study included 590 singleton pregnant women at 10-14 weeks who visited the outpatient clinics for prenatal checks and were recorded at Incheon Seoul Women’s Hospital and Seoul Metropolitan Government Seoul National University Boramae Medical Center in Korea. A binary logistic regression model, a series of sensitivity analyses, and subgroup analysis were used to examine the relationship between TG/HDL-C ratio and incident GDM. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was also conducted to assess the ability of the TG/HDL-C ratio to predict GDM.

Results

The mean age of the included individuals was 32.06 ± 3.80 years old. The mean TG/HDL-C ratio was 1.96 ± 1.09. The incidence rate of GDM was 6.27%. After adjustment for potentially confounding variables, TG/HDL-C ratio was positively associated with incident GDM (OR=1.77, 95%CI: 1.32-2.38, P=0.0001). Sensitivity analyses and subgroup analysis demonstrated the validity of the relationship between the TG/HDL-C ratio and GDM. The TG/HDL-C ratio was a good predictor of GDM, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.7863 (95% CI: 0.7090-0.8637). The optimal TG/HDL-C ratio cut-off value for detecting GDM was 2.2684, with a sensitivity of 72.97% and specificity of 75.05%.

Conclusion

Our results demonstrate that the elevated TG/HDL-C ratio is related to incident GDM. The TG/HDL-C ratio at 10-14 weeks could help identify pregnant women at risk for GDM and may make it possible for them to receive early and effective treatment to improve their prognosis.

Aims

The excess deposition of intra-pancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) has been reported to be associated with type 2 diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. In the current study, we aimed to identify a relationship between lifestyle factors and IPFD.

Materials and methods

99 patients admitted to the Osaka University Hospital who had undergone abdominal computed tomography were selected. We evaluated the mean computed tomography values of the pancreas and spleen and then calculated IPFD score. Multiple regression analyses were used to assess the associations between IPFD score and lifestyle factors.

Results

Fast eating speed, late-night eating, and early morning awakening were significantly associated with a high IPFD score after adjusting for age, sex, diabetes status and Body Mass Index (p=0.04, 0.01, 0.01, respectively).

Conclusion

The current study has elucidated the significant associations of fast eating speed, late-night eating, and early morning awakening with IPFD.

Published: July 2023

To realize the cascaded utilization of energy, improve the effective utilization of energy, and further reduce the carbon emissions of integrated energy systems a robust stochastic low-carbon optimal dispatch model with economy, environmental protection and reliability is developed for a park-integrated energy system wherein the multiple uncertainties brought by source and load are fully considered. First, a two-stage robust optimization algorithm is employed to handle uncertain wind power generation. A multi-case analysis method for the uncertainties of photovoltaics and load is proposed based on an improved centralized reduction algorithm. Then, considering the depreciation of the weighted average of the comprehensive operation cost, carbon emissions, and energy undersupply rate, a robust stochastic optimal dispatch model can be derived and efficiently solved by using a multi-objective fuzzy optimization algorithm with an improved membership function. Finally, by comparing the four cases, the simulation results show that the computational complexity and calculation time of the system can be reduced, the trimming result errors can be decreased, and a balance between economy, environmental protection, reliability, and robustness can be achieved.

The penetration rate of intermittent renewable energy in power system is gradually increasing, which brings challenges to the optimal dispatch of power system. To solve these problems, a multi-regional interconnected transmission network optimization method based on analytical target cascading is proposed. Firstly, the reactive power regulation characteristics of renewable energy is investigated, and the models of wind turbine and photovoltaic generation are established. Secondly, the power system is decomposed into multiple sub-systems using bus tearing method, and an optimal transmission switching (OTS) model with renewable energies is established. Then, the analytical target cascading (ATC) approach is employed to decompose the model into the main problem and several sub-problems for parallel computation to achieve coordinated optimization of the complex transmission network. Finally, the IEEE 14-bus system and the IEEE 118-bus system are used to verify the proposed model. The results show that the proposed method can deal with the coupling nonlinear problem well and promote the consumption of renewable energy.
