Authors: Alam Md Fakhrul , Islam Mohammed Mahbubul , Haque Mujammel , Rahman Shahana A 
Published: October 2020

Background: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic rheumatic disease of childhood and a leading cause of short and long-term disability. Abnormal level of serum homocysteine (Hcy) may be found in Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients. Some studies were done on serum homocyestine levels in children with JIA which showed conflicting results. So far, no study regarding the Hcy level in JIA patients was done in Bangladesh.
Objectives: The study was aimed to assess the homocysteine level in children with different subtypes of JIA.
Methods: It was a cross sectional and case control study. Fifty newly diagnosed cases of JIA attending the Pediatric Rheumatology clinic of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, from January 2016 to March 2017 were included. Fifty age and sex matched controls were selected. Serum homocysteine levels were measured in both cases and controls.
Results: Among JIA patients, 36% had high serum homocysteine (Hcy) level whereas 100% of controls had normal level. Mean hcy level was significantly (p<0.05) higher among cases than controls. Significantly higher number and level of hyperhomocystaeinemia was found among JIA patients having duration of illness more than 1 year than duration less than 1 year. Mean homocysteine level of polyarticular RF positive cases was found as 14.38±3.79 µmol/L and that of SJIA was found as 13.0±4.66 µmol/L. When compared with homocysteine levels of control group these two groups had significantly higher homocysteine level.
Conclusion: More than one third of JIA patients had hyperhomocysteinaemia. Mean hcy level of JIA cases was significantly higher than that of controls. Significant association of hyperhomocysteinaemia was present with duration of illness and certain types of JIA.

Published: October 2020

No presente estudo foram investigadas as variações ao longo do armazenamento, na qualidade pós colheita de “baby leaf” de agrião da terra acondicionado em diferentes embalagens. O uso de embalagem tipo PET PCR mostrou não ser viável para o armazenamento refrigerado de “baby leaf” de agrião da terra, já as embalagens zip lock de polietileno 100µm e polietileno de baixa densidade 50µm selada, demonstraram ser boas opções. O experimento foi então conduzido utilizando as embalagens zip lock de polietileno 100µm e polietileno de baixa densidade 50µm selada, sob a temperatura média de refrigeração de 6ºC±1 e umidade relativa de 87%±1,6. A avalição das amostras foi realizada nos tempos 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 e 12 dias. As análises realizadas foram percentual de perda de massa, monitoramento de CO2 dentro da embalagem, coloração, pH, acidez titulável, clorofila total, carotenoides totais, teor de fenólicos totais e capacidade antioxidante. A embalagem de zip lock de polietileno 100µm determinou menor acúmulo de CO2, maior preservação da cor verde, maior estabilização na degradação de carotenoides e uma menor depleção da capacidade antioxidante do “baby leaf” de agrião. Esses resultados sugerem que a embalagem zip lock de polietileno 100µm, proporciona melhores condições de armazenamento, conferindo ao “baby leaf” de agrião uma vida útil de até 12 dias, garantindo um produto de qualidade ao consumidor.
FORMAS DE PARTICIPACIÓN DE LOS ESTUDIANTES SECUNDARIOS EN PROYECTOS PEDAGÓGICOS. ELECCIÓN DE TEMAS Y EVALUACIÓN EN EL CASO DE LA MATERIA “CONSTRUCCIÓN DE LA CIUDADANÍA”
Authors: Motos Analía , Baquero Ricardo 
Published: October 2020

La materia Construcción de la Ciudadanía se incorporó hace casi una década a los planes de estudio de los primeros tres años de la educación secundaria de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Este espacio curricular presenta algunas características disruptivas respecto del régimen académico, las relaciones con el saber y, fialmente, respecto de la modalidad de evaluación y califiación. Dichas características pueden constituirse como variaciones en las formas de participación en la escuela secundaria. Se parte de la premisa de que todas las formas de participación no sólo tendrían efectos a nivel epistemológico, esto es, sobre lo que se conoce, sino también a nivel ontológico, es decir, sobre cómo y quiénes serán las personas y su comunidad.En este trabajo se describen las características centrales de la propuesta curricular y el proceso de llegada de la materia a las escuelas, profundizando en la organización de los contenidos anuales en torno a los intereses y elecciones de los estudiantes y la propuesta de evaluación y calificación. Se sistematiza información proveniente de los documentos curriculares oficiales y de entrevistas a docentes de la materia y directivos, todos de escuelas secundarias del distrito de Quilmes, Provincia de Buenos Aires.
Effect of load level of corner columns on punching shear resistance of flat slabs
Authors: Gołdyn Michał , Urban Tadeusz 
Published: October 2020

The problem related to the effect of the corner column load on the punching shear resistance of the slab was presented. Existing experimental studies on internal columns demonstrated that the column pressure could lead to an increase in the punching shear resistance. Because of different confinement conditions of corner column-slab connection joints, it is unclear if such an effect exists for corner columns. New experimental investigations were initiated to clarify this issue. They covered a total of three corner column-slab connection specimens – slabs with a thickness of 140 mm and a longitudinal reinforcement ratio ρl = 1.09% connected with columns of a cross-section of 200×200 mm. The only variable parameter was the column load equal to 500, 1000 and 1500 kN.
A reduction of the slab load-carrying capacity of about 9% due to a three-fold increase in the column load was noted. Therefore, the effect of the column load turned out to be opposite to that observed for most previous tests on internal column-slab connections, which could have a result of a limited capacity of the slab reinforcement due to additional tensile forces from the lateral expansion of joint concrete.
Comparison in the light of test results demonstrated, that EN 1992-1-1 procedure allowed for safe, yet conservative estimation of the punching shear resistance. An average ratio of experimental to theoretical load of 1.82 was obtained.

Abstract
Magnesium 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalate (Mg-MOF-74) nanosheets were prepared by liquid-phase exfoliation method. The surface morphology and nonlinear absorption properties of the nanosheets were investigated. Employing the Mg-MOF-74 nanosheets as a saturable absorber, a stable passively Q-switched Tm:YAP laser was successfully realized. Under an incident pump power of 7 W, the average output power of the Q-switched pulses was 1150 mW with a T = 5% output coupler, corresponding to a single-pulse energy of 11.3 μJ and peak power of 25.6 W. Meanwhile, the obtained minimum pulse duration was 313 ns at a repetition rate of 117 kHz with a T = 1% output coupler.

A saliency-specific and dimension-independent mechanism of distractor suppression
Authors: Gong Dongyu , Theeuwes Jan 
Published: October 2020

AbstractDuring everyday tasks, salient distractors may capture our attention. Recently, it was shown that through implicit learning, capture by a salient distractor is reduced by suppressing the location where a distractor is likely to appear. In the current study, we presented distractors of different saliency levels at the same specific location, asking the question whether there is always one suppression level for a particular location or whether, for one location, suppression depends on the actual saliency of the distractor appearing at that location. In three experiments, we demonstrate a saliency-specific mechanism of distractor suppression, which can be flexibly modulated by the overall probability of encountering distractors of different saliency levels to optimize behavior in a specific environment. The results also suggest that this mechanism has dimension-independent aspects, given that the saliency-specific suppression pattern is unaffected when saliency signals of distractors are generated by different dimensions. It is argued that suppression is saliency-dependent, implying that suppression is modulated on a trial-by-trial basis contingent on the saliency of the actual distractor presented.
Alignment in spatial memory: Encoding of reference frames or of relations?
Authors: Schultheis Holger 
Published: October 2020

AbstractA common assumption about spatial memory is that it is organized along one or more reference directions such that access to memory is easier along directions aligned with the reference direction(s). This assumption rests to no small part on frequently replicated alignment effects arising in judgment of relative direction. In this contribution, we report an experiment designed to investigate a possible alternative explanation of alignment effects. By contrasting performance in a judgment of relative direction task with performance in an ego perspective taking task, we tested to what extent alignment effects arise from encoding of relations in addition to or instead of from organization along reference directions. Experimental results suggest little if any contribution of relation encoding on alignment effects, thus lending further support to the assumption of reference directions in spatial memory. Data from both tasks yielded the same alignment effects and provided evidence for a single direction being encoded in memory. Moreover, our results shed new light on and raise questions concerning differential sensorimotor and cognitive influence on spatial memory use. While both influence memory use, systematic bias seems to arise solely from reference directions, along which memory is organized.
High-resolution Chromospheric Observations of a Solar Minifilament: Formation and Destabilization

Published: October 2020

Abstract
Using H
α
line core and off-band imaging data from the New Vacuum Solar Telescope in China, we present a high-resolution observation on the entire life cycle of a solar minifilament from its birth to its final eruption. We find that the minifilament originates from a series of cascade-like reconfigurations of chromospheric fine structures. During which, owing to strong photospheric shearing and converging flows near its polarity inversion line, basic short chromospheric fibrils first slowly coalesce to elongated dark threads, and then further create a longer filament channel in a “head-to-tail” linkage scenario. In this course, obvious magnetic flux cancelation simultaneously proceeds below it, and further facilitates its destabilization. In its onset phase, clear clues indicate that the minifilament first starts to rise without brightening signals; instead, after a slow-to-fast acceleration, obvious runaway reconnection soon takes over its final jet-like eruption. Besides, off-band observations further reveal that the formed minifilament has a possible flux-rope configuration, and chromospheric upflows that detected in its early forming phase persistently supplies cool plasma into its channel. This observation is consistent with earlier observations and supports the view that both miniature and large-scale filaments may share analogous formation and destabilization mechanisms.
Characterizing Astrophysical Binary Neutron Stars with Gravitational Waves
Authors: Zhu 朱 Xing-Jiang 兴江 , Ashton 艾 Gregory 格瑞 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Merging binary neutron stars are thought to be formed predominantly via isolated binary evolution. In this standard formation scenario, the first-born neutron star goes through a recycling process and might be rapidly spinning during the final inspiral, whereas the second-born star is expected to have effectively zero spin at merger. Based on this feature, we propose a new framework for the astrophysical characterization of binary neutron stars observed from their gravitational wave emission. We further propose a prior for the dimensionless spins of recycled neutron stars, given by a gamma distribution with a shape parameter of 2 and a scale parameter of 0.012, extrapolated from radio pulsar observations of Galactic binary neutron stars. Interpreting GW170817 and GW190425 in the context of the standard formation scenario and adopting the gamma-distribution prior, we find positive support (with a Bayes factor of 6, over the nonspinning hypothesis) for a spinning recycled neutron star in GW190425, whereas the spin of the recycled neutron star in GW170817 is small and consistent with our prior. We measure the masses of the recycled (slow) neutron stars in GW170817 and GW190425 to be

and

, with 68% credibility, respectively. We discuss implications for the astrophysical origins of these two events and outline future prospects of studying binary neutron stars using our framework.
Les composés nominaux à premier membre ἐν dans les Argonautiques : entre tradition et innovation
Authors: Cardella Maria Margherita 
Published: October 2020

Les composés nominaux à premier membre ἐν apparaissent en grec à partir de la langue homérique (les exemples en mycénien étant difficiles à déterminer) : il s’agit d’un ensemble de mots homogènes d’un point de vue morphologique et hétérogènes d’un point de vue sémantico-syntaxique, la similitude des formes correspondant à une pluralité de catégories compositionnelles. D’un point de vue lexical, le groupe des composés à premier membre ἐν est constitué à la fois de mots poétiques et de termes technico-scientifiques ; il y a aussi certains exemples de mots d’usage commun, mais ils sont loin d’être la majorité. Chez Apollonios de Rhodes on trouve une vingtaine de composés à premier membre ἐν, dont presque les deux tiers remontent aux épopées archaïques. Dans ce cadre, nous proposons une analyse des mots selon deux clefs de lecture : en premier lieu, nous mettrons en lumière l’influence de la poésie euripidéenne sur l’emploi de ces mots chez Apollonios ; en second lieu, dans les cas des composés remontant à la poésie homérique, nous essayons de montrer le lien entre la transparence de leur étymologie synchronique et le changement sémantico-syntaxique de leur emploi chez Apollonios, par rapport à leur emploi chez Homère.
Un art barbare dans l’archipel japonais : les tombes décorées du vie siècle
Authors: Macé François 
Published: October 2020

Au vie siècle de notre ère, dans le quart nord-ouest de l’île de Kyūshū fleurit un ensemble de tombes richement décorées. Ces décors peints posent de façon claire les deux questions récurrentes de l’histoire de l’art au Japon : celle de la continuité et celle de l’originalité. Sans éviter ces questions, l’article est centré sur les peintures elles-mêmes. Pour les apprécier, le regard d’artistes contemporains comme Paul Klee est préférable aux canons de l’esthétique chinoise de l’Antiquité. C’est grâce à eux que l’on peut goûter la beauté des peintures des tombes d’Ōzuka ou de Chibusan. Longtemps ignorées, ces peintures nous introduisent à la richesse d’un monde barbare attiré par la haute culture continentale mais encore fier de sa force et de ses valeurs. Un siècle après la disparition de ces décors somptueux, les fresques de Takamatsuzuka marquent la pénétration de l’esthétique continentale dans les élites japonaises.
De la Voie des esprits démoniaques à la Voie des titans. Reconsidération sur les peintures talismaniques
Authors: Yamamoto Satomi 
Published: October 2020

Le présent article a pour thème un rouleau de « peintures talismaniques » (hekija-e 辟邪絵) passant pour avoir été produites dans la seconde moitié du xiie siècle, sous le règne de l’empereur retiré Go-Shirakawa 後白河 (1127-1192, r. 1155-1158), et transmises par la collection du temple bouddhiste Renge-ō-in 蓮華王院, plus connu sous le nom de Sanjūsan-gendō 三十三間堂. Ces peintures, actuellement conservées au Musée national de Nara, sont composées des cinq sections suivantes : le Dieu du châtiment céleste (Tenkeisei 天刑星), Sendan Kendatsuba 栴檀乾闥婆 (skt. Candana Gandharva), l’Insecte divin (Shinchū 神虫), Shōki (ch. Zhong Kui 鍾馗) et Bishamonten 毘沙門天 (skt. Vaiśravaṇa). Nous nous intéresserons plus particulièrement à l’interprétation longtemps admise selon laquelle ces différentes scènes de représentations de chimères, sortes de lions ailés bienfaisants (jp. hekija, ch. bixie 辟邪, littéralement : « qui expulse le mal, talismanique ») expulsant le mal, dépeignent de bonnes divinités éliminant de mauvais démons. Nous constaterons en effet que si l’on se penche sur les origines de ces bonnes divinités dépeintes dans chaque scène, il devient alors clair que ces dernières avaient elles aussi, à l’origine, une nature terrifiante de mauvais démons. Nous démontrerons ici que le thème principal de ces rouleaux n’est pas l’« expulsion du mal », mais une représentation du monde des démons possédant à la fois un bon et un mauvais côté, et pourquoi ces œuvres d’art devraient être également appelées « rouleaux dépeignant la Voie des enfers » (jigoku-zōshi 地獄草紙).
Rosetsu, ses Cinq cents Arhat, et la culture des expositions dans le Kyōto du xviiie siècle
Authors: McKelway Matthew 
Published: October 2020

Cette contribution explore les raisons qui ont poussé Rosetsu à produire sa remarquable peinture de cinq cents disciples de Bouddha (Arhat) sur un morceau de papier d’environ trois centimètres de côté, en l’examinant depuis le contexte plus large de la culture des expositions publiques qui ont émergé au Japon au xviiie siècle, et plus particulièrement depuis celui de la compétition et de la collaboration artistiques dans le Kyōto de la fin du xviiie siècle. Il s’agit de situer Rosetsu dans l’histoire longue des peintures d’arhat en Asie de l’Est, notamment à la suite des représentations qu’Itō Jakuchū en a fait. L’essai se penche aussi sur la carrière de Rosetsu et de ses contemporains dans les années 1790 marquée par l’incendie de Tenmei 8 (1788), une catastrophe sans précédent qui a eu pour conséquence de raviver la production et la créativité artistiques. Il explore également les autres contextes d’exposition et de réception, notamment le « festival des paravents » (byōbu matsuri), une présentation annuelle de paravents peints, partie intégrante du festival de Gion, qui se déroulait au milieu de l’été au moins depuis le début du xviiie siècle. En se concentrant sur Rosetsu et l’une de ses dernières peintures documentées dans ces contextes sociaux et culturels, il s’agit de tenter de repenser son travail et sa carrière à partir des tropes modernes d’« excentricité » qui ont constamment été employés pour définir sa position dans l’histoire de l’art japonais.
Éloge du primitivisme : d’autres visages de la peinture japonaise prémoderne
Authors: Marquet Christophe 
Published: October 2020

Dans les années 1920, le penseur Yanagi Muneyoshi (1889-1961) entreprenait une relecture des arts du Japon qui allait entraîner un large mouvement de reconnaissance et de revitalisation de l’art populaire, sous le nom de Mingei. Cet article revisite cette entreprise en s’intéressant à l’appréciation que porta Yanagi sur les formes picturales primitives de l’époque d’Edo (1600-1868), comme l’imagerie d’Ōtsu. Il examine comment, depuis les années 1970, d’autres aspects oubliés de la peinture prémoderne furent redécouverts grâce aux travaux de l’historien de l’art Tsuji Nobuo sur les artistes « excentriques » d’Edo, présentés comme des « avant-gardistes ». Il s’attache enfin à montrer comment, depuis la fin des années 2000, se sont multipliées les expositions sur d’autres dimensions méconnues de la peinture d’Edo, appréciées essentiellement pour leur naïveté primitive, leur légèreté innocente ou leur humour parodique, témoignant d’une évolution du regard sur le primitivisme des arts de la période prémoderne, partagée par certains artistes contemporains comme Murakami Takashi ou Horio Sadaharu.
