A Stochastic Model for Actin Waves in Eukaryotic Cells
Authors: Hu Jifeng , Khamviwath Varunyu , Othmer Hans G. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractA stochastic model of spontaneous actin wave formation in eukaryotic cells that includes positive feedback between the actin network and filament nucleating factors on the membrane is developed and analyzed. Simulation results show that the model can produce a variety of actin network behavior depending on the conditions. Actin spots of diameter about 0.5µmcan be formed and persist for tens of seconds at low actin concentrations, and these spots may either shrink and die or grow and develop into fully-developed propagating waves. The model correctly captures the vertical profile of actin waves along line scans through wave fronts, as well as the separation between the region enclosed by circular actin waves and the external area. Our results show how the complicated actin behavior depends on the amounts and state of various membrane molecules.Author SummaryLocomotion of eukaryotic cells is a complex process that involves the spatio-temporal control and integration of a number of sub-processes, including the transduction of chemical or mechanical signals from the environment, local and global modification of the cytoskeleton, and translation of the intra- and extracellular signals into a mechanical response. In view of the complexity of the processes, understanding how force generation and mechanical interactions with the surroundings are controlled in space and time to produce cell-level movement is a major challenge. Recent experimental work has shown that a variety of actin waves propagate within cells, both under normal conditions and during re-building of the cytoskeleton following its disruption. Controlled disruption and re-building of the actin network has led to new insights into the key components involved in actin waves, and here we develop a stochastic model that can qualitatively and quantitatively describe the dynamical behavior of such waves.
Responses of New Zealand forest birds to management of introduced mammals
Authors: Fea Nyree , Linklater Wayne , Hartley Stephen 
Published: January 2020

AbstractOver the past 1000 years New Zealand has lost 40–50% of its bird species, and over half of these extinctions are attributable to predation by introduced mammals. Populations of many extant forest bird species continue to be depredated by mammals, especially rats, possums, and mustelids. The management history of New Zealand's forests over the past 50 years presents a unique opportunity because a varied program of mammalian predator control has created a replicated management experiment. We conducted a meta‐analysis of population‐level responses of forest birds to different levels of mammal control recorded across New Zealand. We collected data from 32 uniquely treated sites and 20 extant bird species representing a total of 247 population responses to 3 intensities of invasive mammal control (zero, low, and high). The treatments varied from eradication of invasive mammals via ground‐based techniques to periodic suppression of mammals via aerially sown toxin. We modeled population‐level responses of birds according to key life history attributes to determine the biological processes that influence species’ responses to management. Large endemic species, such as the Kaka (Nestor meridionalis) and New Zealand Pigeon (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae), responded positively at the population level to mammal control in 61 of 77 cases for species ≥20 g compared with 31 positive responses from 78 cases for species <20 g. The Fantail (Rhipidura fuliginosa) and Grey Warbler (Gerygone igata), both shallow endemic species, and 4 nonendemic species (Blackbird [Turdus merula], Chaffinch [Fringilla coelebs], Dunnock [Prunella modularis], and Silvereye [Zosterops lateralis]) that arrived in New Zealand in the last 200 years tended to have slight negative or neutral responses to mammal control (59 of 77 cases). Our results suggest that large, deeply endemic forest birds, especially cavity nesters, are most at risk of further decline in the absence of mammal control and, conversely suggest that 6 species apparently tolerate the presence of invasive mammals and may be sensitive to competition from larger endemic birds.
Trichoblastic infundibular cyst should be renamed infundibular cyst with unique papillary projections

Published: January 2020

AbstractTrichoblastic infundibular cyst (TBIC) was previously reported as a unique keratinous cystic lesion, which was characterized by the papillary projections of follicular germinative‐like cells emanating from the cyst wall. Here, we report three additional cases of this cyst and discuss the pathogenesis of this unique entity. In all cases, a unilocular cyst contained keratin, and the cyst wall was composed of squamous epithelium. A number of cords and papillary projections emanated from the basal layer of the cyst wall. They were composed of cells with large nuclei and scant cytoplasm arranged in a peripheral palisade. Immunohistochemically, anti‐cytokeratin 15, anti‐cytokeratin 20, and anti‐epithelial cell adhesion molecule antibodies were negative. Thus, these cells resembled follicular germinative cells or sebaceous mantle morphologically, but we failed to prove the differentiation immunohistochemically. The cyst was surrounded by fibrotic stroma and inflammatory cells, suggesting previous rupture of the cyst. We speculate that the cells of the projections possibly differentiate into the mantle rather than follicular germinative cells, even though we could not provide sufficient immunohistochemical evidence. We also suggest that they may be induced by special reaction to fibrohistiocytic stroma surrounding the infundibular cyst. Therefore, TBIC should be renamed infundibular cyst with unique papillary projections.

AbstractBackgroundIndividuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often experience high health‐care utilization following pulmonary rehabilitation, suggesting suboptimal transitions to home.ObjectiveTo understand the experiences of persons with COPD and health‐care professionals regarding transitions from pulmonary rehabilitation to home, including factors impacting these transitions.DesignA descriptive qualitative study.Setting and participantsHealth‐care professionals working at, and persons with COPD who attended, an inpatient or outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation programme at one large, urban health‐care centre. The centre is located in Ontario, Canada.Main variable studiedExperiences of participants with care transitions between pulmonary rehabilitation and home. Semi‐structured interviews were audio‐recorded, transcribed verbatim, and thematically analysed.ResultsTen patients and eight health‐care professionals participated. Four main themes were identified around the overall experiences with pulmonary rehabilitation and transitions to home: (a) pulmonary rehabilitation as a safe environment; (b) pulmonary rehabilitation as a highly structured environment; (c) contrasting perceptions of the role of pulmonary rehabilitation; and (d) dependency on pulmonary rehabilitation programmes. Persons with COPD and health‐care professionals identified three key factors that influenced this transition: (a) patients' social support, (b) application of self‐management strategies prior to discharge, and (c) patients' physical and mental health.ConclusionParticipants agreed that some patients with COPD experienced suboptimal transitions from pulmonary rehabilitation to home that were characterized by suboptimal self‐management. Further research is needed to develop and evaluate interventions to improve transitions. Such interventions should include strategies to elicit long‐term behaviour change to assist patients when they return into the community.
Ooidal ironstones in the Meso-Cenozoic sequences in western Siberia: assessment of formation processes and relationship with regional and global earth processes

AbstractThis study investigates the process of formation of ooidal ironstones in the Upper Cretaceous-Paleogene succession in western Siberia. The formation of such carbonate-based ironstones is a continuing problem in sedimentary geology, and in this study, we use a variety of data and proxies assembled from core samples to develop a model to explain how the ooidal ironstones formed. Research on pyrite framboids and geochemical redox proxies reveals three intervals of oceanic hypoxia during the deposition of marine ooidal ironstones in the Late Cretaceous to the Early Paleogene Bakchar ironstone deposit in western Siberia; the absence of pyrite indicates oxic conditions for the remaining sequence. While goethite formed in oxic depositional condition, chamosite, pyrite and siderite represented hypoxic seawater. Euhedral pyrite crystals form through a series of transition originating from massive aggregate followed by normal and polygonal framboid. Sediments associated with goethite-chamosite ironstones, encompassing hypoxic intervals exhibit positive cerium, negative europium, and negative yttrium anomalies. Mercury anomalies, associated with the initial stages of hypoxia, correlate with global volcanic events. Redox sensitive proxies and ore mineral assemblages of deposits reflect hydrothermal activation. Rifting and global volcanism possibly induced hydrothermal convection in the sedimentary cover of western Siberia, and released iron-rich fluid and methane in coastal and shallow marine environments. This investigation, therefore, reveals a potential geological connection between Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs), marine hypoxia, rifting and the formation of ooidal ironstones in ancient West Siberian Sea.
Repression, solidarity, and a legacy of violence: Spanish anarcho-syndicalism and the years of 'pistolerismo', 1919–231
Authors: Andrews Nathaniel 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
During the First World War, the Spanish Labour Movement gained steadily in strength, and by 1919 the CNT (National Confederation of Labour) had over 700,000 affiliates. However, the ascendance of the anarcho-syndicalist movement met with severe government repression, especially in Catalonia. In November 1920, the authorities unleashed an all-out offensive against the CNT, arresting members and ordering raids of union offices. Shootings between anarchists and the hired guns of the employer class occurred with increasing regularity, and anarchists were frequently arrested and tortured by the authorities. Whilst acknowledging the difficulties that militants faced during these years, and the damage that the violence did to the movement in the long term, this article assesses the ways in which militants resisted the repression, and the symbolic importance that the anarchist action groups assumed for militants in later struggles.
Performance, performativity and melodrama as dramatic substance in Hindi film song sequences
Authors: Morcom Anna 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
In this article, I explore the dramatic substance of Hindi film songs through an approach based in performance studies, which presents performance as the very stuff of social life, social identities and social power. Given this, the enactment of song sequences in the Hindi film narrative cannot be dramatically benign, or just excess, or just pleasure (however intense). I describe how song sequences perform and thereby manifest and reify love and romance in the film narrative. Using work on public spectacle and power by Foucault and the public sphere by Vasudevan, I further analyse how they connect the public, emotions of love, and social or familial struggle in various ways, embodying key nodes of melodrama. I then reflect, in these terms, on the recent curtailment of performed songs in Hindi films. I thereby present a new method for analysing the dramatic agency of screened or background songs in films.
Making the nation manly: The case of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) and India's search for regional dominance in an era of neo-liberal globalization
Authors: Banerjee Sikata , Williams Rina Verma 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
This article unpacks a particular gendered vision of nation that we term muscular nationalism. Briefly put, muscular nationalism is an intersection of a specific vision of masculinity with the political doctrine of nationalism. This idea of nation is animated by an idea of manhood associated with martial prowess, muscular strength and toughness. A particular interpretation of muscular nationalism has unfolded in India within a cultural milieu shaped by an assertive self-confidence fuelled by 'liberalization', a process by which India has been integrated into the global political economy, coupled with the prominence of Hindu nationalist politics. India's prolific commercial film industry centred in Mumbai has used images of manhood to express and valorize these cultural changes. We use the popular and critically acclaimed film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013), directed by Rakesh Omprakash Mehra, to illustrate how athleticism and India's desire for regional dominance in South Asia shape muscular nationalism.
Склонение к совершению самоубийства / доведение до самоубийства: лингвистическая трактовка дифференциации содержания ст. 110 и ст.110.1. УК РФ
Authors: Ivanenko Galina 
Published: January 2020

В исследовании представлено лингвистическое толкование двух статей уголовного кодекса РФ, посвященных различным видам побуждения к самоубийству: статья 110. Доведение до самоубийства (в ред. Федерального закона от 07.06.2017 N 120-ФЗ) и статья 110.1. Склонение к совершению самоубийства или содействие совершению самоубийства (введена Федеральным законом от 07.06.2017 N 120-ФЗ. На основе изучения содержания судебных процессов рассматриваемого типа выявлена зона конфликтности, связанная с интерпретаций ключевых понятий законодательных актов. В результате сравнения языковых формулировок, использованных для характеристики деяния и средств его осуществления, устанавливается смысл, извлекаемый из текстов статей по законам языка. Во-первых, довести до самоубийства, то есть привести к лишению жизни, –обозначение самых разнообразных действий, а склонить, то есть «убедить», – действие исключительно речевое. Во-вторых, понятия «склонение» и «способствование» предполагают мирный, внешне комфортный характер вредоносного деяния, а «доведение до самоубийства», напротив, причинение страдания. Склонение и способствование (ст.110.1.) – это прежде всего интеллектуальное (психологическое, речевое) преступление по формированию сознания. Это либо становление мировоззренческой картины, в которой отказ от бытия является достойным выбором, либо создание мотивации для ухода из жизни (подкуп), либо обман (пояснение законодателем и практика правоприменения отсутствует). Доведение же до самоубийства (с.110) – насильственное действие, причиняющее моральный или физический вред и тем самым снижающее ценность жизни. И, наконец, сама языковая форма слов обусловливает трактовку: «доведение до…» – обязательно результативное действие (суицид совершился или предпринята попытка), склонение – деяние, не требующее обязательного результата.
Sengstaken-Blakemore Tube as a Rescue Treatment for Hemorrhagic Shock Secondary to Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding Erosion
Authors: Evans Gretchen , Eagon J. Christopher , Kushnir Vladmir 
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT
Gastrointestinal bleeding is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) erosion. We present the use of a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube as a treatment device for severe gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to persistent LAGB erosion. A 72-year-old woman post-LAGB placement presented with hemorrhagic shock from gastric band erosion that was not responsive to endoscopic and angiographic interventions. A salvage attempt to tamponade with a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube resulted in successful resuscitation of the patient. When used judiciously, balloon tamponade serves as a replicable technique to control severe gastric band erosion refractory to standard management.

AbstractTrepel is the local name for a mixture of diatomaceous earth and clay minerals. It represents a greyish, soft, very light, weakly cemented, fine biogenetic sedimentary rock. The studied material is taken from the vicinity of Bitola city (Republic of Macedonia). Here, trepel was treated up to three temperature intervals (800, 1000 and 1200C) for a period of 1 hour. The X-ray powder diffraction results indicate the presence of both an amorphous phase and the following crystalline phases: quartz, feldspars (plagioclase), mica (muscovite) and chlorites. The results of SEM analysis revealed skeletons of alga Diatomeae with nano-pores. By thermal treatment of the samples, a gradual change in color as well as higher bulk density and compressive strength was observed. The increase of the temperature, in addition, affected the mineralogical composition and increased the presence of the amorphous phase (aluminasilicate glassy phase). SEM results of the thermally investigated samples depicted morphological changes expressed by shrinkage of the pore diameters in comparison to the initial material. The major and minor constituents were established by chemical analysis revealing the following chemical composition of raw trepel: SiO2 (63.65 wt%), Al2O3 (11.76 wt%), Fe2O3 (5.93 wt%), MnO (0.13 wt%), TiO2 (0.63 wt%), CaO (1.42 wt%), MgO (2.22 wt%), P2O5 (0.11 wt%), K2O (1.63 wt%), Na2O (0.92 wt%), LOI (11.50 wt%).
Use of Peer Comparison, Provider Education, and Electronic Medical Record Triggers to Increase Influenza Vaccination Rates in Hospitalized Children
Authors: Srinivasan Mythili , Huntman Jonica , Nelson Miranda , Mathew Shakila 
Published: January 2020

BACKGROUND:
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends annual influenza vaccination for all children 6 months and older, yet only 59% of children nationally received the vaccine during the 2014–2016 influenza seasons. Of these, only 4% received the vaccine in a hospital setting. The goal of this quality improvement (QI) initiative was to increase influenza vaccination status at discharge at least twofold in children admitted to our hospital during the 2017–2018 influenza season compared with the 2016–2017 season.

METHODS:
The QI initiative was conducted in the inpatient units at a tertiary care children’s hospital. Interventions included electronic medical record triggers, provider education, and peer comparison. The primary outcome measure was the percentage of children discharged from the hospital with at least 1 dose of the influenza vaccine received either at the hospital or before admission. Queries about the influenza vaccination status of children were used as a process measure. Length of stay was used as a balancing measure.

RESULTS:
The percentage of hospitalized children discharged with at least 1 dose of the vaccine increased 4.7-fold during the QI initiative (46%) compared with baseline (10%). There was a fourfold increase in parental query about the influenza vaccination status of their children (68%) during the QI initiative compared with the baseline period (16%). No significant difference occurred in the median length of stay among patients admitted during the QI initiative versus the baseline period.

CONCLUSIONS:
We increased influenza vaccination status among children admitted to our hospital using electronic medical record triggers, provider education, and peer comparison.
A Statistical-Learning Model for Unplanned 7-Day Readmission in Pediatrics

Published: January 2020

OBJECTIVES:
The rate of pediatric 7-day unplanned readmissions is often seen as a measure of quality of care, with high rates indicative of the need for improvement of quality of care. In this study, we used machine learning on electronic health records to study predictors of pediatric 7-day readmissions. We ranked predictors by clinical significance, as determined by the magnitude of the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression coefficients.

METHODS:
Data consisting of 50 241 inpatient and observation encounters at a single tertiary pediatric hospital were retrieved; 50% of these patients’ data were used for building a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model, whereas the other half of the data were used for evaluating model performance. The categories of variables included were demographics, social determinants of health, severity of illness and acuity, resource use, diagnoses, medications, psychosocial factors, and other variables such as primary care no show.

RESULTS:
Previous hospitalizations and readmissions, medications, multiple comorbidities, longer current and previous lengths of stay, certain diagnoses, and previous emergency department use were the most significant predictors modifying a patient’s risk of 7-day pediatric readmission. The model achieved an area under the curve of 0.778 (95% confidence interval 0.763–0.793).

CONCLUSIONS:
Predictors such as medications, previous and current health care resource use, history of readmissions, severity of illness and acuity, and certain psychosocial factors modified the risk of unplanned 7-day readmissions. These predictors are mostly unmodifiable, indicating that intervention plans on high-risk patients may be developed through discussions with patients and parents to identify underlying modifiable causal factors of readmissions.
