Dinámicas organizativas constrictivas en los servicios sociales en España
Authors: Sánchez Castiñeira Sergio 
Published: September 2020

Este artículo analiza algunas de las ineficacias y deformaciones que pueden producirse en el sistema de bienestar español. Es un estudio de caso de los servicios sociales de Atención Social Primaria en la ciudad de Tarragona durante la reciente crisis económica. A partir de las 12 entrevistas en profundidad a personas usuarias, se identifican sus experiencias de injusticia y privación de los derechos sociales. El análisis vincula estas experiencias constrictivas con las condiciones organizativas de los servicios sociales básicos. Los resultados exponen que la falta e inadecuación de recursos en los servicios sociales de Atención Social Primaria han favorecido unos mecanismos discriminatorios en la selección de personas beneficiarias, así como unos desajustes en la implementación de prestaciones y servicios.De esta forma, la gestión de la pobreza que realizan los servicios sociales básicos puede penalizar la población empobrecida de forma ineficaz, injusta y dolorosa. Finalmente, el artículo plantea algunas recomendaciones para que los servicios sociales básicos sean más eficaces en la consecución de sus objetivos de bienestar y justicia sociales.
Grief, Phantoms, and Re-membering Loss
Authors: Fullarton Catherine 
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT
In this article, I consider comparisons of grief to amputation and phantom limbs, in memoirs of loss, to argue that we should conceive of grieving as a transformative rather than recuperative process. Phenomenological work by Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Matthew Ratcliffe reveals that grief and phantom limbs both attest to the structural significance of embodied and intersubjective habits, and how such habits persist even after they have become inexecutable by changes in objective circumstances. Both experiences, furthermore, involve a refusal or reluctance. I argue that such reluctance is a meaningful response to the loss marked by grief, and that we should therefore conceive of grieving not as a process in which we recuperate former ways of being, but as a transformative process in which we articulate new relational habits. Resources for this re-conception, I suggest, can be found in Havi Carel's phenomenological work on chronic illness and disability.
Expression, Animation, and Intelligibility: Concepts for a Decolonial Feminist Affect Theory
Authors: Guilmette Lauren 
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT
This article considers Lisa Feldman Barrett's challenge to Darwin's claim—popularized by Paul Ekman's cross-cultural studies—that facial expressions are intelligible across the species. Barrett considers how Ekman's research expectations normalize Eurocentric gestures; she proposes that emotions are not hardwired but constructed in a dynamic interplay of interpretation and prediction. Drawing connections between this argument and decolonial feminist challenges to prominent Western accounts of what it means to be human—including Sylvia Wynter on the “ethnoclass of Man” and Sianne Ngai on racialized and feminized “animatedness”—this article explores what assumptions might underpin claims of affective intelligibility across cultures, and develops concepts toward a decolonial feminist affect theory.
The State of Example: Sovereignty and Bare Speech in Plato's Laws
Authors: Leib Robert S. 
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT
Giorgio Agamben gives us two ways to conceive of sovereign power: according to the exception and according to the example. He famously follows the former in his Homo Sacer project, but I develop and follow the latter, which I find present in Plato's Laws. There, Plato gives us a view of sovereignty in its constitutional moment, showing us how constituting and constituted power emerge together from the relationship between law and the communal narrative upon which it rests. This form of sovereignty cannot be expressed according to the state of exception but requires an analysis from the state of example. The figure that emerges here, homo magus, provides the basis for an alternate archaeology of power, one in which sovereignty does not attempt to reduce political subjectivity to “bare life” but rather attempts to reduce political speech to “bare speech.”

Authors: Pateras E. , Kontogeorgou E. 
Published: September 2020

Aims: The purpose of our research is to evaluate corneal thickness, pre-operative and post-operatively after FemtoLasik surgery, using “Pentacam® AXL” and Ultrasound device. To evaluate the correlation of the two devices and their interchangeability.
Sample and Study Design: Our data includes 70 eyes of patients, age 19- 59 years, who undergone Lasik surgery for myopia. The data concerned pre-operative and post-operative central corneal pachymetry using Ultrasound pachymeter (Tomey SP-100) and “Pentacam® AXL”.
Methodology - Place and Duration of Study: University of West Attica Dept Biomedical Science Course Optics & Optometry in collaboration with Private Ophthalmology Clinic “Athens Opthalologiko” during the period between May 2018 until September 2018. In this study, a comparison of data taken with Pentacam and Ultrasound was performed concerning central corneal thickness before and after FemtoLasik to evaluate the correlation of these devices. All the FemtoLasik surgeries were performed by the same experienced surgeon in order to ensure good repeatability of surgical procedures and all the patients selected had healthy eyes with no other ophthalmic pathology or systemic disease and myopia ranging from -1.00 to 9.25 Diopters. All patients were measured one month after FemtoLasik having achieved 6/6 visual acuity.
Results: Central corneal thickness before FemtoLasik measured by ultrasound device had an arithmetic mean value of 552.43 μm ± SD 26.95. The thickness preoperatively with “Pentacam” had an arithmetic mean value of 556.26 μm ± SD 27.82. The corneal thickness after Lasik measured by ultrasound device had an arithmetic mean value of 493.21μm ± SD 36.30, while for “Pentacam” the arithmetic mean value was 499.07μm ± SD 36.17. The two devices correlate strongly (0.9218 and 0.9986 respectively with significant level P<0,0001)
Conclusion: Our conclusions after statistical analysis are that Ultrasound pachymetry and “Pentacam” topography correlated strong.

AbstractNeurobiology‐inspired phenomena such as winner‐takes‐all competition and critical dynamics have been recently reported to arise in neuromorphic nanowire networks. These are unique systems where interactions between memristive elements creates emergent conductance pathways between discrete electrodes. This mode of operation can offer substantial advantages to create a truly concomitant plastic‐static system for integration in neuromorphic devices. However, critical aspects such as pathway controllability and stability are yet to be explored. In this study, pathway formation in self‐assembled neuromorphic networks formed by Ag nanowires decorated with TiO2 nanoparticles is investigated. Direct visualization of pathway formation through a neuromorphic network is attained using the lock‐in thermography technique. Using this technique, it is demonstrated that how networks preserve information from previously used pathways through increased local junction connectivity. This effect directly reshapes subsequent formation of pathways whenever the spatial location of the electrodes is dynamically changed. Combining these results with conventional current–voltage measurements, which show that the network electrically acts as a volatile switching memristor, a unique interaction between short‐term and long‐term memory arises. This produces unexpected collective dynamical states of potentiation and inhibition of network conductance whenever different spatiotemporal signals are dynamically fed to the network.

AbstractImproving and optimizing the processes for transfer printing have the potential to further enhance capabilities in heterogeneous integration of various sensing materials on unconventional substrates for implantable and stretchable electronic devices in biosensing, diagnostics, and therapeutic applications. An advanced transfer printing method based on sacrificial layer engineering for silicon carbide materials in stretchable electronic devices is presented here. In contrast to the typical processes where defined anchor structures are required for the transfer step, the use of a sacrificial layer offers enhances versatility in releasing complex microstructures from rigid donor substrates to flexible receiver platforms. The sacrificial layer also minimizes twisting and wrinkling issues that may occur in free‐standing microstructures, thereby facilitating printing onto flat polymer surfaces (e.g., polydimethylsiloxane). The experimental results demonstrate that transferred SiC microstructures exhibit good stretchability, stable electrical properties, excellent biocompatibility, as well as promising sensing‐functions associated with a high level of structural perfection, without any cracks or tears. This transfer printing method can be applied to other classes of wide bandgap semiconductors, particularly group III‐nitrides and diamond films epitaxially grown on Si substrates, thereby serving as the foundation for the development and possible commercialization of implantable and stretchable bioelectronic devices that exploit wide bandgap materials.

Published: September 2020

AbstractUnderstanding the origin and distribution of electronic gap states in metal halide perovskite (MHP) thin films is crucial to the further improvement of the efficiency and long‐term stability of MHP‐based optoelectronic devices. In this work, the impact of Lewis‐basic additives introduced in the precursor solution on the density of states in the perovskite bandgap is investigated. Ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy and contact potential difference measurements are conducted on MHP thin films processed from dimethylformamide (DMF)‐based solutions to which either no additive, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), or N‐methylpyrrolidine‐2‐thione (NMPT) is added. The results show the presence of a density of states in the gap of methylammonium lead halide films processed from DMSO‐containing solution. The density of gap states is either suppressed when the methylammonium concentration in mixed cation films is reduced or when NMPT is used as an additive, and eliminated when methylammonium (MA) is replaced with cesium or formamidinium (FA). These results are consistent with the notion that reaction products that result from DMSO reacting with MA+ in the precursor solution are responsible for the formation of gap states.
Virtual Designer Metals for Enhancement of Plasmonic Nanoparticles Which Improve the Light Absorption in Silicon
Authors: Nedell Jack G. , Di Vece Marcel 
Published: September 2020

AbstractAlthough it has been established that plasmonic nanostructures can enhance the optical absorption in thin‐film solar cells, despite Ohmic losses, more improvements are required to become interesting for applications. Here, virtual metals are improved by adjusting the refractive index with the particle swarm method to obtain virtual metal nanoparticles, which are optimized for optical absorption enhancement in silicon layers. The properties of these optimized virtual metals are investigated to determine the mechanism behind the plasmonic enhancement. Besides the plasmon resonance position and strength, the ability to position different orders of the plasmon resonance in the same wavelength range contributes to considerable improvements. The here obtained virtual metals can be a guide for developing new nanoscale alloys for solar cell plasmonics.
Understanding the Dehydrogenation Pathways of Ammonium Octahydrotriborate (NH4B3H8) by Molecular Dynamics Simulations with the Reactive Force Field (ReaxFF)
Authors: Gao Peng , Zhang Jie 
Published: September 2020

AbstractAmmonium octahydrotriborate (NH4B3H8) is a potential candidate for hydrogen storage, due to its chemical stability and high hydrogen content. To systematically investigate its initial decomposition and dehydrogenation pathways, molecular dynamics simulations with a reactive force field are conducted. Both temperature ramping and the canonical ensemble simulations are carried out. A compositional analysis for the simulated systems is also applied to monitor the possible intermediate products during its decomposition and dehydrogenation processes. At around 1000 K, the molecular hydrogen is released via inter‐molecular interaction between B‐H and N‐H. It is also noticed that the formed NH3 and BH3 can react to generate BN bonds; as the temperature further increases, the isomers with a skeleton of BNB are observed, and the corresponding dehydrogenation is also increased. The present work provides detailed pictures of the decomposition and dehydrogenation pathways for NH4B3H8.

Published: September 2020

AbstractObjectiveTo analyze the association between body mass index trajectories and non‐communicable diseases (NCDs) in women, and the interaction effects of leisure time physical activity on this relationship.MethodsSample was composed by 15 628 women (≥30 years old) who performed objective measurement of body mass, height, and blood pressure in the 2013 Brazilian Health Survey (2013). Information regarding the body mass at 20 years old, current type 2 diabetes (T2DM), dyslipidemia diagnosis, and leisure time physical activity were self‐reported by the participants. Socio‐demographic and behavioral covariates were considered. Logistic regression models were used for the statistical analysis.ResultsThose who were obese in both moments and women who become obese showed similar high risk, however, the prevalence of NCDs among women who were no longer obese was similar to the consistently non‐obese. Leisure time physical activity attenuated the general deleterious effect of obesity, especially among the consistently obese women for dyslipidemia (inactive: OR: 2.02 [95%CI: 1.69‐2.43] vs active: OR: 1.05 [95%CI: 0.55‐1.99]), T2DM (inactive: OR: 3.84 [95%CI: 2.72‐5.43] vs active: OR: 4.38 [95%CI: 1.49‐12.86]) and high blood pressure (inactive: OR: 2.00 [95%CI: 1.56‐2.57] vs active: OR: 1.15 [95%CI: 0.57‐2.52]).ConclusionsChanges in body mass index appear to be sensitive to detecting the risk of NCDs over lifespan. In addition, leisure time physical activity attenuates the negative effects of obesity on NCDs, but this appears more important for the consistently non‐obese women.
A framework for interconnected benefits of peer support for family members of people with disability

Published: September 2020

AbstractPeer support describes the process of giving and receiving support between people who share similar life experiences. It is commonly used by family members of people with disability, with positive outcomes. However, existing research tends to assume it has separate and discrete benefits, neglecting the subtleties of how the different outcomes may be interconnected and mutually reinforcing. An account of these broader connections between benefits is needed. Drawing on Australian data from 24 parents and siblings of people with disability, this paper identifies benefits of peer support, including exchange of information, benefiting from experience and problem solving; motivation/encouragement and self‐confidence/personal development; social interaction and friendship; understanding, perspective and belonging/community; working together for change; and resilience and well‐being. The paper then proposes a framework to understand these benefits in an interconnected manner, where they are either transactional (giving and receiving practical and social‐emotional resources) or integrative (assimilating what is given and received into one's own experience and actions). The implications for practice and for families are discussed.

Published: September 2020

AbstractA method using gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy (GC–MS) was developed to assess phenotypic differences in the fatty acid composition of 143 accessions of Perilla frutescens varieties that originated from different Chinese provinces, Japan, and Britain. Thirty‐six compounds identified in the analysis included a number of saturated fatty acids and positional isomers of unsaturated fatty acids. A wide range in phenotypic variation was noted within each of five major fatty acids [16:0, 6.8–11.5%; 18:0, 1.7–11.9%; 18:1 (n‐9), 12.3–28.0%; 18:2 (n‐9,12), 9.6–21.6%; 18:3 (n‐9,12,15), 41.4–56.6%]. Many accessions exhibited potential gene mutations or differences in gene copy number for multiple steps of fatty acid synthesis. For example, PCA models were developed to distinguish groups of accessions that exhibited low‐16:0, low‐18:1, high‐18:3 traits, and others that exhibited high‐16:0, high‐18:1, low‐18:3 traits. We believe this approach should improve the process for the identification of genetic resources that help reveal the complex nature of biological regulation not only of fatty acid metabolism but other metabolic processes as well.
Using information science to enhance educational preventing violent extremism programs
Authors: Wong Kevin , Walton Geoff , Bailey Gavin 
Published: September 2020

AbstractEducational preventing violent extremism (EPVE) programs have had (to date) little if any theoretical underpinning. Given their proliferation in jurisdictions such as Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and other European countries, such an absence is notable but not unexpected given the political sensitivities attached to them. These programs remain an emerging policy area which is still “finding its feet,” around which their legitimacy and efficacy is keenly debated. This paper argues for adopting theoretical principles drawn from information science research based upon information behavior models to provide a framework for the design and development of such programs and against which their efficacy can be tested. We demonstrate how this approach can be applied through thematic analysis of the theory of change models of EPVE programs implemented in England and Wales, designed to increase awareness and understanding of radicalization among young people, their carers, and professionals. This article is ground breaking and of international significance, being the first to apply learning from information science to practice in furthering policy goals around countering radicalization and extremism in the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions.
Application of linear regression algorithm and stochastic gradient descent in a machine‐learning environment for predicting biomass higher heating value
Authors: Ighalo Joshua O. , Adeniyi Adewale George , Marques Gonçalo 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThe higher heating value (HHV) provides information about the quantity of energy contained in a fuel such as biomass. Correlations and models can be developed to predict biomass HHV quickly from other analysis data. In this study, a linear regression algorithm (LRA) and stochastic gradient descent (SGD) in a machine‐learning environment were used as novel methods to predict the HHV of biomass. The basis of the model was 78 lines of combined proximate and ultimate analysis data. The LRA model was observed to be more accurate. The testing for both models was done by stratified cross‐validation, stratified shuffle splits, and no sampling tests. The root mean square error (RMSE) of the LRA and SGD models was 8.151 and 21.65 kJ kg−1 and the mean absolute error (MAE) was 6.823 and 13.87 for the stratified shuffle split (ten random samples with 75% data). The coefficient of determination for both models was >0.999 in all cases. The study observed that LRA and SGD are among the most accurate artificial intelligence models for the prediction of biomass HHV. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Elucidation of microbial diversity and lignocellulolytic enzymes for the degradation of lignocellulosic biomass in the forest soils of Eastern and Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu, India

Published: September 2020

AbstractSustainable sources of energy are sought because of the finite nature of nonrenewable resources. Renewable energy from the lignocellulosic biomass of the forest ecosystem reduces dependency on nonrenewable resources to overcome the global energy crisis. In this study, we evaluated the physicochemical parameters of, and enzymatic activity in, 25 forest soil samples collected from Thandikudi (Western Ghats) and the Sirumalai Hills (Eastern Ghats) in Tamil Nadu, India. Soil‐sample analysis revealed that two samples obtained from the Western Ghats exhibited low and high lignocellulolytic enzyme activity, respectively, and they were considered for further study. Sample A showed low lignocellulolytic enzyme activity, whereas sample B showed high lignocellulolytic enzyme activity. The variation in the soil enzymes led us to determine the microbial communities in these two soil samples using nanopore sequencing, which targeted the V1–V9 regions of 16S rDNA. The results highlighted the positive correlation between physicochemical properties and soil enzymes. Principal component analysis revealed that, among the soil enzymes, saccharase and β‐glucosidase predominantly influenced lignocellulosic biomass degradation. The nanopore sequencing results showed that, among the microbes present, the percentage of Firmicutes was higher in soil sample B (23.03%) compared with soil sample A (14.90%). Among the bacterial genera, Bacillus was abundant in these two soil samples followed by Pseudomonas, Escherichia, and Klebsiella. The variation in the occurrence of enzymes and the availability of nutrients in the two soil samples had a positive effect on the abundance of these microbial genera. Moreover, the plentiful presence of Bacillus in soil sample B indicates the richness of lignocellulose. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
