Study of attention measured by event-related potential as a predictive factor of violence among patients with schizophrenia and substance use disorder
Authors: Elsheikh Mohamed 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Background
The prediction of violence in patients with psychiatric disorders remains a challenging aspect in the field of clinical research. Many studies search the linkage between aggressive behavior and certain genetic conditions, impaired socio-emotional information processing, demographic, and clinical variables. To our knowledge, by far the relationship between aggressive behavior and impaired attention is not clear. Attention is one of the clinical variables that might have a relation to increased aggressive tendency in many psychiatric patients. So the purpose of this study is to measure the attention using ERP and search for its relation to violence in schizophrenic patients and patients with substance use disorder. This cross-sectional study was carried out on a sample of schizophrenic inpatients and patients with SUD (86 male patients) at the psychiatric department of Al-Hussein University Hospital, Cairo, Egypt.

Results
The majority of the sample lies in the age group 20–29 years old (38.4%), whereas MOAS showed that the higher tendency to violence was in the dual diagnosis of schizophrenia disorder with SUD followed by patients diagnosed with SUD.
P300 wave measurement analysis reflected that the attention is highly affected in SUD patients, while schizophrenics showed delayed thinking. The relationship has a statistical significance (P = 0.001).A statistically significant direct correlation between P300 wave amplitude, latency, and the scale of violence was also found (P = 0.009 and P = 0.022) respectively.

Conclusion
Affected attention in both schizophrenic and SUD patients could be considered a potential risk factor of violence.
Staging Pedagogy in Trans Masculine Porn
Authors: Goldberg RL 
Published: May 2020

AbstractThis article considers the ways in which pedagogy is formally represented in trans masculine porn, specifically in three films that stage scenes of learning: Linda/Les and Annie: A Female-to-Male Transsexual Love Story, Phineas Slipped, and Sex Education. Focusing on pedagogical scenes that dramatize failure, the article asks, Why, in trans porn, do we see extrageneric claims to educate? What kinds of pedagogical fantasies do trans porn, and porn-adjacent film, render about bodies and pleasures? The author offers a close reading of these films as rooted not in pornographic fantasy but in the fantasies of pedagogy. By directly incorporating pedagogy into the formal content of trans masculine porn films, these films distance themselves from the pedagogical functions of porn—porn as encounter, porn as learning about trans “difference”—and instead point to fantasies of efficacious pedagogy. The author suggests that these films do more than educate viewers on transgender; rather, they portray the pedagogical encounter itself as one way in which performers work through their own fantasies of successful pedagogy.
Pornography, Trans Visibility, and the Demise of Tumblr
Authors: Bronstein Carolyn 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
The December 2018 adult content ban instituted by the social media and microblogging site Tumblr had far-reaching effects. The ban cost the platform its user base, and its economic value plummeted. Purchased by the media conglomerate Verizon as part of a $4.8 billion acquisition of Yahoo's internet business in 2017, Tumblr was sold in August 2019 for less than $3 million. This article reviews the factors that led to the adult content ban, including Verizon's plan to eliminate pornography to attract more advertisers to Tumblr, heightened concern about sexual harassment lawsuits in the wake of #MeToo and Time's Up, and the passage of two new federal laws, SESTA and FOSTA, aimed at combatting sex trafficking online. It analyzes the critical role that Tumblr played in connecting and supporting marginalized sexual communities, especially trans communities, and others whose livelihood depends on freedom of sexual speech, such as sex workers, and discusses the centrality of online communication to processes of sexual self-discovery and self-actualization. Corporate control of sexual speech, and pornography bans, which are increasing as platforms like Facebook institute ever-tighter community standards, pose a direct threat to queer individuals and limit the possibility for authentic, positive representation of trans bodies and trans sexuality.

Authors: Power Stacey , Meaney Sarah , Cotter Riona , O'Donoghue Keelin 
Published: May 2020

Background: There is a reliance on voluntary organisations in healthcare. Education is necessary to keep up-to-date with best practice. The authors' aim was to identify education priorities of voluntary organisations that support parents who experience pregnancy/perinatal loss, to inform the development of an education day. Method: A modified Delphi study was undertaken to identify education needs. There were two Delphi rounds, inclusive of free text, where voluntary group experts reflected on responses in order to develop a consensus among the group. Results: There were 12 responses to Round One and seven responses to Round Two. From a list of 10 subjects, Round One identified 64 sub-topics, which were then determined as essential, desirable or not relevant in Round Two. The final 55 sub-topics were included in the education day. Conclusion: This study identified educational needs of voluntary organisations. A standardised approach was necessary to develop an education day that is responsive to their learning needs.
Treatment protocol and effectiveness of cosmeceuticals in aesthetic practice
Authors: Millar-Hume Lucy 
Published: May 2020

Pharmaceuticals are essentially drug products containing active ingredients that prevent, mitigate, treat disease and/or affect the anatomy or physiological functions of the body. Cosmeceuticals is a term blending the meaning and action of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, resulting in a product that cannot exert a biological effect on cells, but can nonetheless improve the quality and condition of the skin. Traditional medical methods of treating acne centre around antibiotic use and oral isotretinoin. Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem, and it means aesthetic practitioners must find alternatives. Attention is turning to cosmeceuticals as a solution, but this raises the question of the level of evidence for their growing use.

Published: May 2020

The intellectual capital (IC) is gaining prominence both in academic studies as in the business context. When evaluated the development of these elements, the Brazilian agribusiness stands out. Some difficulties are being addressed by studies linked to the transaction cost economics (TCE), resembling mainly with asset specificities. This study aims to understand how the influence of the components of intellectual capital in the formation of asset specificity in the downstream transactions of agribusiness companies. The quantitative method demonstrated relevant to the objective with the companies listed in the Exame M&M 2016, in which a multiple linear regression was performed. Three components of IC are present in the context of agribusiness, but only the structural component has been shown to be significant for the formation of asset specificities. Through this result, managers can identify points of specificities, which can be work in order to carry out efficient transactions.

A stableQ-switching pulse train in a ytterbium-doped fiber laser (YDFL) cavity was generated using MAX-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) thin film, which is composed of layered ternary metal carbide (Ti3AlC2) as a passive saturable absorber (SA) and incorporates it in the laser cavity. MAX-PVA SA was fabricated using a solution-casting method. A self-started pulse train with a maximum repetition rate of 92 kHz and a decreasing pulse width (from 3.5 to 1.92 µs) with increasing pump power (from 214 to 260 mW) was produced. The laser’s stability was notable, with a high signal-to-noise ratio of 52 dB obtained at the highest repetition rate of 92 kHz. This finding suggests that MAX-SA could be used as an alternative to other SAs inQ-switched fiber lasers.

Published: May 2020

We report the design of a setup combining the simultaneous and independent optical trapping and second-harmonic generation (SHG) of 1 µm diameter silica microspheres with two independent laser beams. Optical trapping is achieved with a tightly focused continuous wave infrared laser beam whereas the SHG intensity from the trapped microparticles is obtained with a 810 nm femtosecond pulsed laser. The silica microparticles are dispersed in an aqueous solution, and a microfluidic channel flow is used to remove untrapped microparticles. We show by the perpendicular displacement of the optical trap from the microfluidic channel wall that it is possible to control the contribution of the channel wall/solution interface to the overall SHG intensity. Stable trapping and SHG detection of two microparticles is also demonstrated. Combining the independent trapping of centrosymmetrical silica microparticles with SHG offers new avenues for analytical studies like surface sensing or all-optical devices where the SHG intensity is controlled by the trapping beam.

Published: May 2020

Increasing human impact in mountain areas may constitute a challenge to national park authorities. Therefore, interdisciplinary research is important in order to address the various aspects of the functioning of protected areas.
The purpose of the present study was to analyze perceptions of infrastructure and tourist traffic in the Tatra Mountains by tourist experts.
Data were collected using the diagnostic survey method and in-depth interviews with experts. Statistical analysis included the use of the U-Mann-Whitney Test and the nonparametric Chi Square Test.
Research has shown differences in the way both local transportation and restaurant services are viewed in the Polish and Slovakian parts of Tatras. Experts indicate that the main reason for increasing tourist traffic is that the Tatras are in fashion, while the key problem is excess litter generation.

Authors: Prueksapraopong Chattip , Piriyakitpaiboon Varisa , Lumbiganon Dissajee 
Published: May 2020

Abstract

Background
Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare condition during neonatal period.

Objective
To report a case of recipient twin with fulminant ALF secondary to hydrops fetalis caused by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).

Method
The patient was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation and fulminant ALF with prolonged international normalized ratio (INR) and elevated liver enzymes with highest aspartate aminotransferase of 4,580 U/L.

Results
Laboratory investigation for secondary causes of liver failure was not revealing. Her liver enzymes and coagulation levels were dramatically normalized as the clinical symptoms of hypervolemia improved within 1 week.

Conclusion
TTTS can be a possible cause of neonatal ALF. Early detection with proper management of TTTS is important to avoid adverse outcomes. However, pathogenesis of hepatic dysfunction in TTTS is rarely described, and further studies are needed to help understanding the correlation between liver diseases and TTTS.

Authors: Qi Le , Ma Zhongliang , Liang Jiahao , Xiao Zhongliang 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
The rheological properties of energetic materials comprising nitroglycerin plasticized nitrocellulose were studied using rheological tests in a parallel plate rheometer. The Carreau-Yasuda equation was applied to calculate the zero-shear viscosity, and the dependence of solid additives, temperature and solvent content on zero-shear viscosity was developed. One can study flow characteristics of the energetic materials by observing the zero-shear viscosity instead of the effect of solid additives, temperature and solvent content. Additionally, the relationship between zero-shear viscosity and additives concentration was studied. The Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) method was used to obtain the viscous flow activation energy, and the equation to describe the relationship between solid additives concentration and viscous flow activation energy was represented. The Zero-Shear Viscosity (ZSV) test showed that temperature was the predominant effect on the ZSV value at low solvent content, as the concentration of solid additives increased, the ZSV value decreased at low solvent content but increased at high one, however, there is an opposite trend when graphene concentration is above 0.1%. The viscous flow activation energy showed different changing trends with solid concentration that increased at different solvent content. The master curves were obtained by Time-Temperature Equivalence Principle, the viscosity prediction model has been established and showed a good agreement with the experimental data, compared with the test results, the viscosity prediction model is more accurate at low temperature (15°C-25°C). The obtained knowledge of the different equations will form a contribution to the research on extrusion process of this energetic material containing Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) and graphene, and the results obtained by this research have certain practical significance of the extrusion process for this energetic material.

AbstractThe aim of this work was to evaluatein vitroantiradical scavenging activity of propolis from Nkambe (North-West, Cameroon). The polyphenol content of the acetone extract was evaluated using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent as 0.166±0.008 gGAE/100 gRM. Antiradical scavenging activity of hexane and acetone extracts was carried out on DPPH using ascorbic acid as standard. The results showed that the extracts possess antiradical activity with IC50of 141 μg/mL and 267 μg/mL for acetone and hexane extracts, respectively. The column chromatography separation on silica gel of the hexane fractionyielded compounds1to3. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by NMR and mass spectrometry data as Lupenone (1), a mixture ofαandß-Amyrin (2) and lastly Hexatriacontanoic acid (3) which was described for the first time from propolis.

Published: May 2020

AbstractIn this study topsoil samples were collected from 57 sites of Dongxihu District which is a typical Chinese urban–rural combination area, to analyze the causes and effects of 6 heavy elements. (Ni, Pb, As, Cu, Cd, and Hg) Pollution of Enrichment factor, multivariate statistics, geostatistics were adopted to study the spatial pollution pattern and to identify the priority pollutants and regions of concern and sources of studied metals. Most importantly, the study area was creatively divided into central urban, semi-urbanized, and rural areas in accordance with the characteristics of urban development and land use. The results show that the pollution degree of potential ecological risk assessment is Hg>Ni>Cu>As>Cd>Pb, and semi-urban regions> city center> rural areas. Results based on the proposed integrated source identification method indicated that As was probably sourced from agricultural sources (33.99%), Pb was associated with atmospheric deposition (50.11%), Cu was related to industrial source 1 (45.97%), Cd was mainly derived from industrial source 2 (42.97%) and Hg come mainly from industrial source 3 (56.22%). The pollution in semi-urban areas in urbanization need more attention.
Accuracy of boundary layer treatments at different Reynolds scales
Authors: Badano Nicolás D. , Menéndez Angel N. 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Resistive forces associated to boundary layers (‘friction’) are usually out of scale in physical models of hydraulic structures, especially in the case of hydraulically smooth walls, generating distortions in the model results known as scale effects, that can be problematic in some relevant engineering problems. These scale effects can be quantified and corrected using suitable numerical models. In this paper the accuracy of using numerical simulation through the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) approximation in order to represent the head losses introduced by friction in hydraulically smooth walls is evaluated for a wide range of Reynolds scales. This is performed by comparing the numerical results for fully developed flow on circular pipes and between parallel plates against experimental results, using the most popular wall treatments. The associated numerical errors, mesh requirements and ranges of application are established for each treatment. It is shown that, when properly applied, RANS models are able to simulate the head losses produced by smooth wall friction accurately enough as to quantify the scale effects present in physical models. A methodology for upscaling physical model results to prototype scale, free of scale effects, is proposed.

Authors: Wang Zhibao , Zhou Zhiqiang , Wang Zhe , Cui Yijie 
Published: May 2020

Abstract

Background
Previous studies have shown that NF2 plays a key role in tumorigenesis. NF2 has been illustrated to be downregulated in several types of human cancer. However, the role of NF2 in breast cancer remains unclear.

Methods
We used UALCAN and KM-plotter database to study NF2 expression in human breast cancer and corresponding normal tissues and analyzed its relationship with clinicopathological parameters. We investigated the role of NF2 in breast cancer cells behavior by inhibiting its expression in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells.

Results
In this study, we found that NF2 was downregulated in breast cancer tissues compared to the adjacent normal tissues. We found that the low expression of NF2 was related with the tumor stage. NF2 overexpression inhibited the cell colon formation and stemness.

Conclusion
Our results indicate a role of NF2 in the progression of breast cancer.

Abstract
Immunotherapy, which utilizes the patient’s own immune system to fight against
cancer, further results in durable antitumor responses and reduces metastasis and
recurrence, has become one of the most effective and important cancer therapies along
with surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Nanomaterials with the advantages of
large specific surface, delivery function, and controllable surface chemistry are
used to deliver antigens or adjuvants, or both, help to boost immune responses with
the imaging function or just act as adjuvants themselves and modulate tumor
microenvironment (TME). In this review, recent development and applications of
nanomaterials for cancer immunotherapy including delivery systems based on
nanomaterials, uniting imaging, self-adjuvants, targeting functions, artificial
antigen presenting cells, and TME modulation are focused and discussed.
