Abstract
We present HST narrowband near-infrared imaging of Paα and Paβ emission of 48 local luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) from the Great Observatories All-Sky LIRG Survey. These data allow us to measure the properties of 810 spatially resolved star-forming regions (59 nuclei and 751 extranuclear clumps) and directly compare their properties to those found in both local and high-redshift star-forming galaxies. We find that in LIRGs the star-forming clumps have radii ranging from ∼90 to 900 pc and star formation rates (SFRs) of ∼1 × 10−3 to 10 M
⊙ yr−1, with median values for extranuclear clumps of 170 pc and 0.03 M
⊙ yr−1. The detected star-forming clumps are young, with a median stellar age of 8.7 Myr, and have a median stellar mass of 5 × 105
M
⊙. The SFRs span the range of those found in normal local star-forming galaxies to those found in high-redshift star-forming galaxies at z = 1–3. The luminosity function of the LIRG clumps has a flatter slope than found in lower-luminosity, star-forming galaxies, indicating a relative excess of luminous star-forming clumps. In order to predict the possible range of star-forming histories and gas fractions, we compare the star-forming clumps to those measured in the MassiveFIRE high-resolution cosmological simulation. The star-forming clumps in MassiveFIRE cover the same range of SFRs and sizes found in the local LIRGs and have total gas fractions that extend from 10% to 90%. If local LIRGs are similar to these simulated galaxies, we expect that future observations with ALMA will find a large range of gas fractions, and corresponding star formation efficiencies, among the star-forming clumps in LIRGs.

Abstract
In this fourth paper of the series, we use the parameterized, spherically symmetric explosion method PUSH to perform a systematic study of two sets of nonrotating stellar progenitor models. Our study includes pre-explosion models with metallicities Z = 0 and Z = Z
⊙ × 10−4 and covers a progenitor mass range from 11 to 75 M
⊙. We present and discuss the explosion properties of all models and predict remnant (neutron star or black hole) mass distributions within this approach. We also perform systematic nucleosynthesis studies and predict detailed isotopic yields as a function of the progenitor mass and metallicity. We present a comparison of our nucleosynthesis results with observationally derived 56Ni ejecta from normal core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) and with iron-group abundances for metal-poor star HD 84937. Overall, our results for explosion energies, remnant mass distribution, 56Ni mass, and iron-group yields are consistent with observations of normal CCSNe. We find that stellar progenitors at low and zero metallicity are more prone to black hole formation than those at solar metallicity, which allows for the formation of black holes in the mass range observed by LIGO/VIRGO.
Rapid Postshock Cooling and Pressure-driven Shell-phase Evolution of the Galactic Halo SNR G70.0–21.5

Abstract
The large, faint supernova remnant (SNR) G70.0–21.5 is believed to be the result of a Type Ia supernova some 90,000 yr ago at a distance of ∼1 kpc based on the Gaia proper motion and parallax of an unusual white dwarf. We have obtained narrow passband optical images and high-resolution spectroscopy to determine shock speeds of 70 to 110 km s−1. The shock itself is unusual in that the sharp Hα filaments arise from a very thin postshock zone where preshock neutral atoms are rapidly excited and ionized. Combining the shock speed with the remnant’s estimated age, distance, and diameter, we investigate the SNR evolution in the post-Sedov phase. One-dimensional models that ignore such factors as magnetic fields, cosmic rays, and thermal conduction are marginally consistent with the observations.
An Ancient, MHC-Linked, Nonclassical Class I Lineage in Cartilaginous Fish

Published: January 2020

AbstractCartilaginous fishes, or chondrichthyans, are the oldest jawed vertebrates that have an adaptive immune system based on the MHC and Ig superfamily–based AgR. In this basal group of jawed vertebrates, we identified a third nonclassical MHC class I lineage (UDA), which is present in all species analyzed within the two major cartilaginous subclasses, Holocephali (chimaeras) and Elasmobranchii (sharks, skates, and rays). The deduced amino acid sequences of UDA have eight out of nine typically invariant residues that bind to the N and C termini of bound peptide found in most vertebrae classical class I (UAA); additionally, the other predicted 28 peptide-binding residues are perfectly conserved in all elasmobranch UDA sequences. UDA is distinct from UAA in its differential tissue distribution and its lower expression levels and is mono- or oligomorphic unlike the highly polymorphic UAA. UDA has a low copy number in elasmobranchs but is multicopy in the holocephalan spotted ratfish (Hydrolagus colliei). Using a nurse shark (Ginglymostoma cirratum) family, we found that UDA is MHC linked but separable by recombination from the tightly linked cluster of UAA, TAP, and LMP genes, the so-called class I region found in most nonmammalian vertebrates. UDA has predicted structural features that are similar to certain nonclassical class I genes in other vertebrates, and, unlike polymorpic classical class I, we anticipate that it may bind to a conserved set of specialized peptides.

In their paper entitled ‘Asthma in pregnancy- from immunology to clinical management’ Lilia Tamási et al. (pag. 259-263) discuss the effect of asthma on pregnancy and vice versa. As it is generally accepted, asthma improves during pregnancy in about one- third, remains the same in another one-third, and worsens in one-third of pregnant women.
Enhancing the resilience to flooding induced by levee breaches in lowland areas: a methodology based on numerical modelling
Authors: Ferrari Alessia , Dazzi Susanna , Vacondio Renato , Mignosa Paolo 
Published: January 2020

Abstract. With the aim of improving resilience to flooding and increasing preparedness to face levee-breach-induced inundations, this paper presents a methodology for creating a wide database of numerically simulated flooding scenarios due to embankment failures, applicable to any lowland area protected by river levees. The analysis of the detailed spatial and temporal flood data obtained from these hypothetical scenarios is expected to contribute both to the development of civil protection planning and to immediate actions during a possible future flood event (comparable to one of the available simulations in the database) for which real-time modelling may not be feasible. The most relevant criteria concerning the choice of mathematical model, grid resolution, hydrological conditions, breach parameters and locations are discussed in detail.
The proposed methodology, named RESILIENCE, is applied to a 1100 km2 pilot area in northern Italy. The creation of a wide database for the study area is made possible thanks to the adoption of a GPU-accelerated shallow-water numerical model which guarantees remarkable computational efficiency (ratios of physical to computational time up to 80) even for high-resolution meshes (2.5–5 m) and very large domains (>1000 km2).

Published: January 2020

Tendo em vista um aumento no apelo ambiental, a evolução na produção de papéis reciclados de aparas é motivada pela necessidade de reduzir custos e minimizar o impacto causado por estes produtos, bem como, a necessidade de modificações que visem mudanças nas propriedades físico-mecânicas, como por exemplo, a inserção de materiais nano na produção do papel. Sendo assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo, avaliar as propriedades tecnológicas de papéis reciclados, produzidos com a adição de diferentes concentrações de nanofibrilas de celulose (NFC), de Eucalyptus spp. Produziu-se papéis com 60 g/cm² de gramatura, adicionando-se diferentes concentrações de nanofibrilas de celulose nos papéis, a fim de avaliar o efeito destas na união das fibras e nas propriedades tecnológicas dos papéis reciclados, para isso foi feita a caracterização por MEV dos papéis sem adição e com 16% de concentração de NFC. Foram efetuados testes de índice de tração, elongamento, índice de estouro, espessura, passagem do ar (Gurley) e gramatura. Com a análise dos resultados, foi possível concluir que a maior parte das propriedades tecnológicas apresentou melhora com o aumento na concentração de nanofibrilas. Para resistência a tração em que houve um acréscimo de 266%, para elongamento com um ganho de 308% e resistência ao estouro um incremento de 407%. Assim a inserção de nanocelulose demonstra ser um bom aditivo para a produção de papéis, aumentando as propriedades físicas e mecânicas dos papéis.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica de abordagem qualitativa e de natureza teórica e exploratória. Objetiva-se apresentar transformações históricas da sociedade, por meio da organização do trabalho, as quais orientam o social e contribuem para o debate atual sobre alternativas econômicas ao desenvolvimento sustentável em um cenário de Economia de Mercado globalizada. Além da introdução e das considerações finais, este artigo está organizado em três partes: a primeira se encarrega de demonstrar o movimento de institucionalização do mercado e os contramovimentos sociais e políticos no século XIX na Inglaterra, os quais deram origem ao Estado burocrático; a segunda destaca um dos contramovimentos, o Owenista, por orientar os princípios cooperativos que fundamentam a Economia Solidária, os quais integram a terceira parte e se apresentam como estruturantes para uma sociedade mais igualitária, o associativismo, contrapondo-se ao capitalismo. O associativismo, sob essa base econômica, apresenta-se como um contramovimento contemporâneo.
Bay of Plenty earthquake

Legislation sets down that the Commission is charged with the duty of executing the provisions of the Earthquake and War Damage Act and to exercise such other functions as are conferred upon it by the Act and any Regulations.
The Commission is given no other powers. It is merely charged with the administration of the E Q W D legislation and cannot do things or approve things not authorised by legislation.
The Commission is primarily concerned with policy matters. Administrative matters are my responsibility and I answer directly to the Minister in Charge of the Commission who is the Hon Roger Douglas with assistance from the Hon Peter Neilson.
Although the Commission operates solely from headquarters based in Wellington, over recent years it has adopted a policy whereby it has set up office on site wherever a disaster has occurred. This is in order that the public could both lodge a claim and discuss any matters directly with Commission staff.
Recent research and applications of seismic isolation in New Zealand
Authors: Robinson W. H. 
Published: January 2020

In New Zealand, seismic isolation, the technique in which the structure is decoupled from earthquake-induced ground motions, has now advanced to the point where it is often considered for the protection of both new and existing buildings, bridges, and to a lesser extent, industrial plant.
Many of the devices used in these applications have been developed in our laboratory. We describe here how the lead-based devices operate, and we give some examples of the application of seismic isolation to structures m New Zealand.
Current interest is focused on the application of seismic isolation to three buildings in central Wellington. In July 1993, the construction of the seismically isolated Museum of New Zealand was started on the Wellington waterfront. All of the lead-rubber isolators have now been tested and installed. Nearby the NZ Parliament Building and Library have been retrofitted with a lead-rubber bearing system.
To support the continuation of improvements to the seismic resistance of structures a number of research programs are operating in the Universities of Auckland and Canterbury, the Engineering Seismology Section of the NZ Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences, Works, a number of engineering consultants and in our company.
Very strong support for the principles of seismic isolation is given by the fact that of the ten hospitals affected by the 1994 Northridge earthquake in Los Angeles, only the hospital seismically isolated by a lead-rubber bearing system was able to continue to operate. Further support is given by the excellent behaviour of two isolated buildings in the 1995 Hyogo Ken-Nanbu earthquake.

Published: January 2020

The present study aimed to examine the psychometric properties and factorial structure of the Greek version of the Body Image-Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (BI-AAQ). The BI-AAQ assesses cognitive flexibility and acceptance relative to body image. Two samples: an all female middle and high school sample (N = 85; Age M = 17.97, SD = 2.74) and a college student sample (N = 240; Age M = 21.50; SD = 2.98) in Cyprus completed a set of self-reported eating-related questionnaires. Reliability analysis showed that the Greek BI-AAQ has high internal consistency and good item-total correlations. Principal Component Analysis (Sample 1) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (Sample 2) supported a one-factor solution, as in the case of the original BI-AAQ. Hierarchical multiple regression predicting eating disorder behaviors (as assessed by the EDE-Q) from Weight Concerns (WCS) and BI-AAQ scores after controlling for BMI, produced a significant model, which accounted for 67% of variance. The BI-AAQ remained a significant predictor of eating disorder behaviors after controlling for BMI and weight concerns scores. The Greek version of the BI-AAQ questionnaire is thus a robust and reliable instrument. It adds to previous knowledge and research on the role of psychological flexibility and acceptance of body image in eating disorder behaviours and psychological difficulties.
“Singular decus ytalicum”: la biografia di Giovanna di Napoli nel De mulieribus claris
Authors: Rodríguez Mesa Francisco José 
Published: January 2020

The last of the one hundred and six chapters conforming Boccaccio’s De mulieribus claris is devoted to queen Joanna of Naples. The addition of this life implies a certain degree of anomaly in the tradition of exemplary literature because of two reasons. Firstly, the Angevin sovereign was in her early thirties when the author finished the composition of his collection and, secondly, because the description of the monarch’s life that Boccaccio provides can be said far from objective narration and much closer to a propagandistic portrait of the Neapolitan queen.
L’ultimo dei centosei capitoli del De mulieribus claris di Boccaccio è consacrato alla regina Giovanna di Napoli. Quest’inclusione comporta un’anomalia nella topica della letteratura esemplare per due motivi. Per cominciare, la sovrana angioina era poco più che trentenne quando il certaldese finì la stesura della sua silloge e, in secondo luogo, perché la versione della vita della monarca che l’autore fornisce è ben lungi da poter essere considerata una narrazione oggettiva, avvicinandosi molto di più a un ritratto propagandistico della regina partenopea.
In questo articolo si analizzano queste particolarità della vita di Giovanna e si indaga nei motivi che potrebbero aver portato Boccaccio a configurare in questo modo il capitolo di chiusura della sua raccolta sulle donne celebri.

El artículo se propone analizar la fragmentación narrativa creada por el uso de cartas, correos electrónicos y “escrituras del yo” en el esquema narrativo de Habitaciones cerradas (2011) de Care Santos, muestra de la literatura femenina española contemporánea. En la novela, una saga familiar con dos tramas paralelas, los saltos temporales y espaciales que mantienen viva la atención del lector, y a la vez, recrean el flujo de los recuerdos, se crean también gracias a las cartas colocadas a lo largo del cuento, que, simultáneamente, ofrecen detalles para la solución del misterio que desencadena la narración.
The article focuses on how letters, mails and self-writing are used in the fragmented narrative scheme of Habitaciones cerradas (2011) by Care Santos. The novel is a family saga developing two parallel plots, jumping around space and time in order to keep the reader attentive and to return the structure of memories, while offering useful details to solve the mystery that narration develops.
Predictors of Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Authors: Albatineh Ahmed N. , Alroughani Raed , Al-Temaimi Rabeah 
Published: January 2020

Abstract

Background:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating autoimmune disorder. Several factors have been shown to associate with MS clinical severity. The influence of different lifestyle factors on MS clinical severity as assessed by the Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score (MSSS) was investigated.

Methods:
A questionnaire was administered to 128 Kuwaiti MS patients to assess the association of smoking, nutritional supplement use, food allergy, physical activity (PA), and educational level with MSSS. A multiple linear regression model was used to test for associations. Regression model results were adjusted for sex, history of blood transfusion, age at MS onset, and marital status.

Results:
Smoking status, passive smoking, and food allergy are not associated with MSSS. Patients with MS with a college education and graduate/professional degrees score, on average, 2.56 lower on the MSSS compared with those with less than a high school education (β= −2.22, P = .045; and β = −2.90, P = .048, respectively). Patients who perform PA score, on average, 2.32 lower on the MSSS compared with those with no PA (moderate exercise, P = .003; rigorous exercise, P = .001), and PA correlated significantly with MSSS outcomes (r2 = 0.452, P &lt; .001).

Conclusions:
Educational level and PA are significantly associated with reduced MSSS, and both contribute to a less severe MS clinical course. Current MS management protocols should consider lifestyle changes to improve the quality of life of patients with MS.
Modeling the Multiple Sclerosis Specialist Nurse Workforce by Determination of Optimum Caseloads in the United Kingdom
Authors: Punshon Geoffrey , Sopala Jo , Hannan Guy , Roberts Megan , Vernon Karen , Pearce Annabella , Leary Alison 
Published: January 2020

Abstract

Background:
It is estimated that there are more than 100,000 people in the United Kingdom who have multiple sclerosis (MS). Patient experience and outcome are improved by access to a specialist nursing service. The aim of this study was to perform demand modeling to understand the need for MS nursing interventions, and thus inform modeling of the future UK MS nursing workforce.

Methods:
Existing national data and specific workload and service data were collected from 163 MS specialist nurses who completed a questionnaire on activity and complexity of work both done and left undone.

Results:
Data were received from across all of the United Kingdom. Twenty-nine percent of respondents were specialist nurses in the field for 3 years or less. Unpaid overtime was regularly performed by 83.4% of respondents. The MS specialist nurse was part of all areas of the patient journey. Areas of work left undone were psychological interventions, physical assessments, social interventions/benefits, and recommending or prescribing medications.

Conclusions:
The current recommended caseload of 358 people with MS per full-time equivalent seems to be too high, with a considerable amount of work left undone, particularly psychosocial care. Factors such as travel time, complexity of caseload, changing drug therapies, and societal issues such as the benefits system contributed to driving demand/workload.
