Tunable photoluminescence properties of selenium nanoparticles: biogenic versus chemogenic synthesis
Authors: Piacenza Elena , Presentato Alessandro , Heyne Belinda , Turner Raymond J. 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Various technological and biomedical applications rely on the ability of materials to emit light (photoluminescence [PL]), and, among them, metal nanoparticles (NPs) and semi-conductor Quantum Dots (QDs) represent ideal candidates as sensing probes and imaging tools, portraying better PL features than conventional organic dyes. However, the knowledge of PL behavior of semiconductor NPs – i.e., selenium; SeNPs – is still in its infancy, especially for those synthesized by microorganisms. Considering the essential role played by biogenic SeNPs as antimicrobial, anticancer, and antioxidant agents, or food supplements, their PL properties must be explored to take full advantage of them as eco-friendly and versatile tools. Here, PL features of SeNPs produced by the Se-tolerant Stenotrophomonas maltophilia SeITE02 strain, compared with chemogenic ones, are investigated, highlighting the PL dependency on the NP size. Indeed, PL emission shifted from indigo-blue (emission wavelength λ
em 400–450 nm) to green-yellow (λ
em 480–570 nm) and orange-red (λ
em 580–700 nm) for small (ca. 50 nm) and big (ca. 100 nm) SeNPs respectively, revealing the versatility of an environmental bacterial isolate to synthesize diverse PL probes. Besides, biogenic SeNPs show PL lifetime comparable to those of the most used fluorophores, supporting their potential application as markers for (bio)imaging.
Damage Accumulation in a Novel High-Throughput Technique to Characterize High Cycle Fatigue
Authors: Berke Ryan B. , Furman Brandon A. , Holycross Casey , Scott-Emuakpor Onome 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
A multiple-insert carrier plate assembly has been developed to increase the throughput of vibration-based fatigue testing. Typically, in vibration-based fatigue testing, a cantilevered rectangular plate is excited in a high-frequency resonant mode until failure. In this manner, an S-N curve for bending fatigue can be constructed. The concept behind vibration-based fatigue testing has been improved by employing a U-shaped carrier plate and fastening multiple smaller specimens into the channel of the carrier plate, such that fatigue tests can be conducted in tandem. However, because of the presence of a variable stress field over the surface of the assembly, the strain in the specimens is unequal. To account for this unequal strain distribution, a framework is provided for estimating how damage accumulates within each specimen. Using this framework, the efficiency gained by adopting a multi-insert approach is evaluated. By optimizing the strategy with which specimens are replaced as they fail, a throughput 5.49 times greater than sequential testing is shown to be feasible.
Variability of Friction Measurements Using Three Common Walkway Tribometers
Authors: Chimich Dennis D. , Elkin Benjamin S. , Siegmund Gunter P. 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Walkway tribometers are used to assess the slip resistance of flooring surfaces. To yield valid measurements, the ASTM F2508-16e1, Standard Practice for Validation, Calibration, and Certification of Walkway Tribometers Using Reference Surfaces, standard practice requires an annual calibration to show a tribometer’s test results fall within the 95th percentile confidence intervals (CI) of its supplier’s validation test results on 4 reference surfaces. Many users, however, report difficulty meeting this requirement. Here we examine the variability within and between multiple calibrations to evaluate the current calibration procedure and assess whether field measurements of a surface can be directly compared to calibration test results. We performed multiple calibrations with three common walkway tribometers on one set of reference surfaces. We then simulated field tests on each reference surface and compared these results to the calibration test results. Overall, all three tribometers ranked and differentiated the reference surfaces in all calibrations; however, none of the calibrations fell within the supplier’s CIs for all four surfaces. The between-calibrations variance ranged from 15 % to 90 % of the total variance in the data set, and only 25 % of the “field” test results fell within the 95th percentile CI of our calibration values. Our findings show that the current ASTM F2508 calibration requirement does not adequately account for measurement variability. Moreover, our findings indicate that field measurements should not be compared directly to calibration measurements without factoring in measurement uncertainty. Overall, our results show the need for an improved calibration procedure and more research to establish a valid method for estimating slip risk on field surfaces.
A Proposed Evaluation Method for Three-Point Beam Tests of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
Authors: Juhász Károly Péter 
Published: July 2020

AbstractThe characteristic values of the material parameters used for structural design are usually determined from the mean and standard deviation of the material test results, and the design values are calculated from the characteristic values using the appropriate safety factor. However, if the standard deviation of the test data is high, the characteristic value is expected to be significantly lower than the mean value. In the case of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC), the coefficient of variation is usually high, which can be attributed to the relatively small size of the specimen and the random location of the fibers. To overcome this limitation, this paper proposes a method that takes into account the number and location of the fibers when estimating the postcrack performance for a cracked cross section in a three-point notched bending beam tests. Test results of steel- and macrosynthetic FRC were evaluated using both the RILEM recommendations and the proposed method and are finally compared. Although the proposed method is more complex and the evaluation requires more effort than the existing method, it provides more repeatable material parameters, which exhibited a higher characteristic result.
Loss of the Antimicrobial Peptide Metchnikowin Protects Against Traumatic Brain Injury Outcomes in Drosophila melanogaster

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Neuroinflammation is a major pathophysiological feature of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Early and persistent activation of innate immune response signaling pathways by primary injuries is associated with secondary cellular injuries that cause TBI outcomes to change over time. We used a Drosophila melanogaster model to investigate the role of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in acute and chronic outcomes of closed-head TBI. AMPs are effectors of pathogen and stress defense mechanisms mediated by the evolutionarily conserved Toll and Immune-deficiency (Imd) innate immune response pathways that activate Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB) transcription factors. Here, we analyzed the effect of null mutations in 10 of the 14 known Drosophila AMP genes on TBI outcomes. We found that mutation of Metchnikowin (Mtk) was unique in protecting flies from mortality within the 24 h following TBI under two diet conditions that produce different levels of mortality. In addition, Mtk mutants had reduced behavioral deficits at 24 h following TBI and increased lifespan either in the absence or presence of TBI. Using a transcriptional reporter of gene expression, we found that TBI increased Mtk expression in the brain. Quantitative analysis of mRNA in whole flies revealed that expression of other AMPs in the Toll and Imd pathways as well as NF-κB transcription factors were not altered in Mtk mutants. Overall, these results demonstrate that Mtk plays an infection-independent role in the fly nervous system, and TBI-induced expression of Mtk in the brain activates acute and chronic secondary injury pathways that are also activated during normal aging.

Published: July 2020

CONTEXT:
Preterm birth is associated with incident heart failure in children and young adults.

OBJECTIVE:
To determine the effect size of preterm birth on cardiac remodeling from birth to young adulthood.

DATA SOURCES:
Data sources include Medline, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane databases, and clinical trial registries (inception to March 25, 2020).

STUDY SELECTION:
Studies in which cardiac phenotype was compared between preterm individuals born at &lt;37 weeks’ gestation and age-matched term controls were included.

DATA EXTRACTION:
Random-effects models were used to calculate weighted mean differences with corresponding 95% confidence intervals.

RESULTS:
Thirty-two observational studies were included (preterm = 1471; term = 1665). All measures of left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) systolic function were lower in preterm neonates, including LV ejection fraction (P = .01). Preterm LV ejection fraction was similar from infancy, although LV stroke volume index was lower in young adulthood. Preterm LV peak early diastolic tissue velocity was lower throughout development, although preterm diastolic function worsened with higher estimated filling pressures from infancy. RV longitudinal strain was lower in preterm-born individuals of all ages, proportional to the degree of prematurity (R2 = 0.64; P = .002). Preterm-born individuals had persistently smaller LV internal dimensions, lower indexed LV end-diastolic volume in young adulthood, and an increase in indexed LV mass, compared with controls, of 0.71 g/m2 per year from childhood (P = .007).

LIMITATIONS:
The influence of preterm-related complications on cardiac phenotype could not be fully explored.

CONCLUSIONS:
Preterm-born individuals have morphologic and functional cardiac impairments across developmental stages. These changes may make the preterm heart more vulnerable to secondary insults, potentially underlying their increased risk of early heart failure.
“The Rivalry is Hot:” Shakespeare, Harry Potter, and the Magic of Fanfiction
Authors: Hawley Jamie 
Published: July 2020

Abstract: While most crossover fanfiction focuses on characters of different works interacting, fanfiction involving Shakespeare often involves characters from one work interacting with a particular Shakespeare text. By examining this phenomenon in three Harry Potter/Romeo and Juliet crossover fanfictions, it can be seen that Shakespeare’s language and cultural capital are being used in fan communities in order to develop new interpretations of both Harry Potter and Shakespeare’s work, especially when it comes to utilizing tropes like “star-crossed lovers” to develop relationships not present in Harry Potter’s text. As such, Shakespeare has taken on a role in these fanfictions that is magic-like, and the fanfictions speak to how Shakespeare, rather than becoming lowbrow popular culture, has instead ascended to a role in literature no author has reached before.
Literature Review: Scholars that have studied Shakespeare in relation to fanfiction such as MK Finn and Michelle Yost have argued that Shakespeare’s existence and prevalence on fanfiction sites is a sign of his descendance from a literary pedestal to existence on the same level as other “lowbrow” popular culture, such as Star Trek and The Avengers. A 2013 survey of high school English teachers showed that 93% of ninth-grade classrooms studied Romeo and Juliet, which fueled some scholars in their belief that Shakespeare, by becoming more accessible, has lost some of his highbrow reputation. However, I argue that rather than this accessibility resulting in the loss of Shakespeare’s cultural power, this power has instead increased, and Shakespeare has taken on a role in culture unseen by any other author, and this can be seen most clearly in his impact on fanfiction and his popularization of tropes like “star-crossed lovers,” which have moved beyond an existence in Shakespeare’s plays and have now been used as an interpretive lens in their own right.

The aim of the study is to consider and show the possibilities of methods for surgery of skull base tumors using the example of successful surgical treatment of a patient with widespread trigeminal neuroma located in the posterior, middle and temporal fossae, as well as to analyze international scientific experience on this issue.
Materials and methods. In February 2020, a 60-year-old patient with widespread trigeminal neuroma on the left was admitted to the Federal Scientific-Clinical Center of FMBA of Russia in February 2020. After additional examination and preoperative preparation, a planned operation was performed - osteoplastic orbitozygomatic trepanation of the skull, microsurgical removal of the tumor through subtemporal transcavernous access. A good postoperative clinical result was obtained. An analysis of the available scientific literature on this problem is carried out.
Results. In the postoperative period, pain and neurological symptoms, hemifacial spasm completely regressed. 1.5 months after the operation, the tumor was totally removed in the control images. In the course of the analysis of available foreign and domestic literature, 65 observations of trigeminal tumors with extracranial growth were found, the total removal of which was performed only in 20% of patients.
Conclusion. Despite the extreme complexity of the pathology, the operation through the orbitozygomatic subtemporal transcavernous access allows you to completely remove the common and giant trigeminal neuromas with a good functional result.

Kryteria określone w kan. 874 § 1, 1º-2º Kodeksu Prawa Kanonicznego a ważność przyjęcia munus chrzestnego
Wśród warunków jakie najwyższy ustawodawca przepisuje w kan. 874 § 1, 1º-2º KPK/83, jakie musi spełniać osoba przed dopuszczeniem do munus chrzestnego są między innymi: 1) wyznaczenie przez przyjmującego chrzest albo przez jego rodziców, albo przez tego, kto ich zastępuje, a gdy tych nie ma, przez proboszcza lub szafarza chrztu, 2) posiadanie wymaganych do tego kwalifikacji, 3) posiadanie intencji pełnienia zadania chrzestnego, 4) ukończenie szesnastu lat, chyba że biskup diecezjalny określił inny wiek albo proboszcz lub szafarz jest zdania, że słuszna przyczyna zaleca dopuszczenie wyjątku. Zarówno doktryna i dyscyplina Kościoła łacińskiego w sposób jednoznaczny nie określają, czy nieprzestrzeganie wymienionych wymagań wpływa na nieważność przyjęcia munus chrzestnego, czy też wyłącznie na niegodziwość. Biorąc pod uwagę ten brak, autor niniejszego artykułu postawił sobie za cel udzielenie odpowiedzi na tę wątpliwość.

Zarówno, na gruncie prawa polskiego, jak i zagranicznych systemów prawnych występują wątpliwości odnośnie do zdatności arbitrażowej sporów z zakresu własności intelektualnej.
W niniejszym artykule podjąłem próbę określenia zdatności arbitrażowej tych sporów na gruncie prawa polskiego. W tym celu posłużyłem się następującymi metodami: historyczną, dogmatyczną oraz prawnoporównawczą. Polskie rozwiązania w zakresie tematu artykułu zostały porównane z niemieckimi oraz amerykańskimi, co umożliwiło nie tylko charakterystykę zdatności arbitrażowej w polskim systemie prawnym, ale również postawienie postulatu de lege ferenda.
Wykonywanie środków oddziaływania penitencjarnego na przestrzeni lat
Authors: Skrobotowicz Grzegorz 
Published: July 2020

Izolacja penitencjarna jest niewątpliwie anormalną sytuacją życiową dla osób jej doświadczających, powodując szereg doświadczeń traumatycznych i depresyjnych. Jej skutki są odczuwalne nie tylko dla samego skazanego, ale także dla jego rodziny i osób w najbliższym otoczeniu. Potrzeba porzucenia obecnego stylu życia ze wszystkimi tego konsekwencjami, a także separacja od bliskich, powoduje, że przetrzymywanie w warunkach jednostek penitencjarnych staje się szczególnie bolesną dolegliwością dla skazanych.
Celem opracowania jest przedstawienie zakresu stosowania środków oddziaływania penitencjarnego na skazanych na przestrzeni ostatnich czternastu lat (2005-2018) w zestawieniu z ogólną liczbą skazanych i ukaranych. Na łamach kolejnych stron tekstu zostaną omówione poszczególne dane statystyczne publikowane w ramach corocznych raportów Służby Więziennej, co pozwoli na wskazanie zarówno działających, jak i niedziałających mechanizmów odpowiedzialnych za oddziaływanie na skazanych.
