Introduction: Perioperative morbidity is a public health priority, and surgical volume is increasing rapidly. With advances in technology, there is an opportunity to research the utility of a telemedicine-based control center for anesthesia clinicians that assess risk, diagnoses negative patient trajectories, and implements evidence-based practices. Objectives: The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether an anesthesiology control tower (ACT) prevents clinically relevant adverse postoperative outcomes including 30-day mortality, delirium, respiratory failure, and acute kidney injury. Secondary objectives are to determine whether the ACT improves perioperative quality of care metrics including management of temperature, mean arterial pressure, mean airway pressure with mechanical ventilation, blood glucose, anesthetic concentration, antibiotic redosing, and efficient fresh gas flow. Methods and analysis: We are conducting a single center, randomized, controlled, phase 3 pragmatic clinical trial. A total of 58 operating rooms are randomized daily to receive support from the ACT or not. All adults (eighteen years and older) undergoing surgical procedures in these operating rooms are included and followed until 30 days after their surgery. Clinicians in operating rooms randomized to ACT support receive decision support from clinicians in the ACT. In operating rooms randomized to no intervention, the current standard of anesthesia care is delivered. The intention-to-treat principle will be followed for all analyses. Differences between groups will be presented with 99% confidence intervals; p-values <0.005 will be reported as providing compelling evidence, and p-values between 0.05 and 0.005 will be reported as providing suggestive evidence. Registration: TECTONICS is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03923699; registered on 23 April 2019.
Evolution of late steps in exocytosis: conservation and specialization of the exocyst complex
Authors: Boehm Cordula , Field Mark C. 
Published: November 2019

Background:The eukaryotic endomembrane system most likely aroseviaparalogous expansions of genes encoding proteins that specify organelle identity, coat complexes and govern fusion specificity. While the majority of these gene families were established by the time of the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA), subsequent evolutionary events has moulded these systems, likely reflecting adaptations retained for increased fitness. As well as sequence evolution, these adaptations include loss of otherwise canonical components, the emergence of lineage-specific proteins and paralog expansion. The exocyst complex is involved in late exocytosis and additional trafficking pathways and a member of the complexes associated with tethering containing helical rods (CATCHR) tethering complex family. CATCHR includes the conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex, homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting (HOPS)/class C core vacuole/endosome tethering (CORVET) complexes and several others. The exocyst is integrated into a complex GTPase signalling network in animals, fungi and other lineages. Prompted by discovery of Exo99, a non-canonical subunit in the excavate protistTrypanosoma brucei,and availability of significantly increased genome sequence data, we re-examined evolution of the exocyst.Methods:We examined the evolution of exocyst components by comparative genomics, phylogenetics and structure prediction.Results:The exocyst composition is highly conserved, but with substantial losses of subunits in the Apicomplexa and expansions in Streptophyta plants, Metazoa and land plants, where for the latter, massive paralog expansion of Exo70 represents an extreme and unique example. Significantly, few taxa retain a partial complex, suggesting that, in general, all subunits are probably required for functionality. Further, the ninth exocyst subunit, Exo99, is specific to the Euglenozoa with a distinct architecture compared to the other subunits and which possibly represents a coat system.Conclusions:These data reveal a remarkable degree of evolutionary flexibility within the exocyst complex, suggesting significant diversity in exocytosis mechanisms.
A questão da técnica no pensamento de Heidegger
Authors: Shimabukuro Felipe 
Published: November 2019

Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é propor uma leitura sobre a questão da técnica no pensamento de Heidegger. A hipótese que anima tal leitura é a seguinte: a técnica moderna é a metafísica do capitalismo, o que significa que o capitalismo não é unicamente um modo de produção da vida material, mas também uma metafísica. Para tornar o sentido dessa hipótese inteligível, será necessário explicar, num primeiro momento, a relação entre a questão da técnica e as noções de história do ser e de metafísica como onto-teologia, para que, num segundo momento, seja possível determinar a essência da técnica a partir de uma leitura cruzada Heidegger-Marx.Palavras-chave: Heidegger, Marx, técnica, metafísica, capitalismo Abstract: This paper aims to propose an interpretation of the question concerning technology in Heidegger’s thought. The hypothesis which animates this interpretation is the following one: the modern technology is the capitalism’s metaphysics, which means that the capitalism is not only a mode of production of material life, but also a metaphysics. To make the sense of this hypothesis intelligible, we will need to explain firstly the relationship between the question concerning technology and the notions of history of being and metaphysics as onto-theology; we will determine secondly the technology’s essence through a cross-reading between Heidegger and Marx.Key-words: Heidegger, Marx, technology, metaphysics, capitalism
The effects of neurofeedback training on short-term memory and quality of life in women with breast cancer
Authors: Sarvghadi Pooria , Ghaffari Amin , Rostami Hamid Reza 
Published: November 2019

Background/Aims Breast cancer, one of the most common cancers among Iranian women, affects the physical, psychological and cognitive dimensions of patients' lives. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of neurofeedback training on short-term memory and quality of life in patients with breast cancer. Methods In a randomised, controlled pilot trial, a convenient sample of 20 Iranian women with breast cancer who had received chemotherapy and radiotherapy were randomly allocated to an intervention or control group. The intervention group received 4 weeks of neurofeedback training. Assessment tools in pre- and post-test sessions included the Wechsler short-term memory scale and SF-36 quality of life questionnaire. Data were analysed by a biostatistician blinded to the study. Results Short-term memory and quality of life scores improved significantly in the intervention group after neurofeedback training compared to the control group (P=0.001). Conclusions Findings indicate that neurofeedback training is an effective technique for improving short-term memory and quality of life alongside occupational therapy interventions in women after breast cancer treatment.
Achieving plastic free status in practice. How can it be done?
Authors: Eastwood-Wright Megan 
Published: November 2019

Many of us are striving to reduce the amount of plastic we use at home, but how can this be sustained in our professional lives? Especially in an environment where disposable items are an integral part of our work. Jane Davidson and Jo Hinde, co-founders of Learning Without Landfill explain that: ‘Starting to talk about the environmental impact of our work and personal activities was hard. Only 2 years ago many people questioned how we could make any change in a field like veterinary medicine.’ So, how can it be done? Megan Eastwood-Wright, Head Nurse of Regent Court Vets, Penzance, Cornwall tells us.
Accounting for Visual Bias in Tangible Data Design
Authors: Resch Gabby 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Data engagement has become an important facet of engaged citizenship. While this is celebrated by those who advocate for expanding participatory channels in civic experience, others have rightfully expressed concern about the complicated dimensions of balancing access with data literacy. If engaged citizenship increasingly requires the ability to interpret civic data through city dashboards and open data portals, then there is a concomitant requirement for diverse populations to develop critical perspectives on data representation (what is commonly referred to as data visualisation, information graphics, etc.). Effective data representations are used to ground conversations, communicate policy ideas and substantiate arguments about important civic issues, but they are also frequently used to deceive and mislead. Expanding statistical, graphical, digital and media literacy is a necessary component of fostering a critical data culture, but who are the beneficiaries of expanded models of literacy and modes of civic engagement? Which communities are invalidated in the design of civic data interfaces? In this article, I summarise the results of a design study undertaken to inform the development of accessible data representation techniques. In this study, I conducted fourteen 2-h participatory design-inspired interview sessions with blind and visually impaired citizens. These sessions, in which I iteratively developed new physical data objects and assessed their interpretability, leveraged a public transit dataset made available by the City of Toronto through its open data portal. While ostensibly “open,” this dataset was initially published in a format that was exclusively visual, excluding blind and visually impaired citizens from engaging with it. What I discovered through the study was that the process of translating 2D, screen-based civic dashboards and data visualisations into tangible objects has the capacity to reintroduce visual biases in ways that data designers may not generally be aware of.
Unpacking El Paquete
Authors: Köhn Steffen 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
With online access heavily restricted, Cuba has one of the lowest internet penetration rates in the world. Yet, Cuban citizens have found a way to distribute all kinds of web content in the form of El Paquete Semanal, a one terabyte collection of data that is compiled by a network of people with various forms of privileged internet access and then circulated nationwide on USB sticks and external hard drives via an elaborate network of deliverymen. In this article, I show how El Paquete has come to constitute a nested media ecosystem that facilitates the publication of independent local media content, hosts several digital marketplaces, and offers an otherwise non-existing space for advertisement. Its enormous local relevance and scope sets it in competition with the Cuban state that reacts ambiguously: it largely tolerates the Paquete as long as compilers continue to self-censor overtly political content. While state officials have repeatedly criticised the “banality” of its material, the government recently felt obliged to distribute its own alternative weekly data compilation called Mochila (backpack) via its youth computer clubs and official cybercafés. I therefore seek to understand El Paquete as an arena in which the relationships between citizenry and the state are currently being re-negotiated.
Refusing Shame and Inertia
Authors: Dixon Natalie 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
In this paper, mobile communication is examined in the context of forced migration from an affective perspective using the case study of an informal migrant camp that was established in 2015 at Budapest’s Keleti train station. Drawing on concepts of migration, affect and media, I examine various news reports and social media commentary about the camp as well as the makeshift Wi-Fi network that was established there in relation to Hungarian populist politics. I posit the station as a site of contestation between migrants, the Hungarian government and non-governmental actors that speaks to the politicisation of communication technology. The conclusion points to how mobile communication provides a way for forced migrants to create a heterotopic space in extreme conditions as the migrant community is affectively moored by media practices that enable feelings of familiarity and security. These practices not only constitute a kind of refuge for migrants but also offer a form of refusal, however small, towards the shaming and inertia they experience.
TouchOn/TouchOff
Authors: Lanson Klare 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This article reflects upon a mobile art ethnography that sought to understand and rethink some of the tensions around regional/rural experiences of the digital. Using creative practice-based methods, it provides new insights into this regional/urban divide through the motif of working mother commuter as digital wayfarer, a term used to define on/offline digital entanglement through the lived experience of quotidian wayfaring. It contributes to debates around mobile communication and mobile media studies by connecting conceptual analysis of mobilities and its relationship to regional commuting with a creative approach to movement, play and a sense of place. Much of the academic research on mobile media and internet studies stems from an urban focus rather than engaging in the unevenness of the online as is much of the experience in the rural region of North Central Victoria, Australia. Being a working mother commuter for almost a decade, the researcher also took an autobiographical approach to aspects of this project through the lens of digital wayfaring. The artefact used ethnographic case study methods and is a creative non/ fiction sound and moving imagery work made using the mobile phone, within the context of the regional Vline train. Utilising sonified global positioning system (GPS) data as part of the soundscape, it addressed problems in the production of this train activity (i. e. work, creativity, play, rest and playbour) regarding social and material participation of the commute infrastructure and overlaid internet connections. It showed how multisensorial art-making highlights the commute to be a journey to and from - and of - work, within the ecology of the Vline train, and therefore provides new ways of perceiving this copresent, mediated and entangled digital experience.
Semiconducting behavior and kinetics of passive film growth on AISI 321 stainless steel in sulfuric acid

Published: November 2019

AbstractIn the present study, the effects of aging and formation potential on the semiconducting behavior of AISI 321 stainless steel as well as the kinetics of the early stages of pitting are discussed. The donor and acceptor densities decrease with increasing formation potential. The steady-state passive film thickness and the coefficient of oxygen vacancies are estimated. The electrode polarization at higher anodic potentials causes the increase in the rate of pit initiation and slows down the growth rate of passive film. Also, the openness of the pits and their coalescence are highly promoted with the increase in the applied potential.
Transmedia characters: Theory and analysis
Authors: Thon Jan-Noël 
Published: November 2019

AbstractThis article sketches a theoretical framework and method for the analysis of transmedia characters that focuses on specific instantiations of these characters in individual media texts, before asking how theselocal work-specific charactersrelate to other local work-specific characters or coalesce intoglocal transmedia charactersas part ofglobal transmedia character networks, thus evading what one could consider an undue emphasis on the “model of the single character” when analyzing the various characters that are, for example called Sherlock Holmes, Batman, or Lara Croft. The connections between these work-specific characters within transmedia character network could then be described as either relations ofredundancy, relations ofexpansion, or relations ofmodification– with only redundancy and expansion allowing for medial representations of work-specific characters to contribute to the representation of a single transmedia character. In intersubjectively constructing characters across media, however, recipients will not only take into account powerful normative discourses that police the representation of characters across media but also draw on their accumulated knowledge about previously represented work-specific or transmedia characters as well as abouttransmedia character templatesand even more generaltransmedia character types.
Which Donald is this? Which tyche is this? A semiotic approach to nomadic cartoonish characters
Authors: Packard Stephan 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Dealing with a de- or recontextualized cartoon affords media users a number of challenges and opportunities. The approach proposed here traces these effects not merely as consequences of universalized converging media, storyworlds, and transfictional or transdiegetic character models, but complements that view by reversing the question and asking which semiotic feats media users are invited to accomplish as they engage with a cartoon and gradually build consequences around that encounter. From a deduction of general properties applied to a specific instance, I move to abductions that generalize by departing from said instance. I propose distinguishing three different aspects of the phenomenon alongside three different questions that one might ask of a given cartoonish depiction of some character. By categorical deduction, one might first ask, “Who is this cartoon?” In a pragmaticist reversal that takes its cue from the semiotics of Charles Sanders Peirce, one might then ask, “What shall I do with this cartoon?” And finally, from a point of view that conceives of the transmedial aspects of the challenge by foregrounding the uncertainties that establish the decontextualized encounter in the first place, one might adapt a concept from Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalysis and ask, “Which tyche is this?”
An evaluation of glycated haemoglobin eluting in zone 10 on capillary zone electrophoresis
Authors: Pullon Beverley M. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This is the first report of glycated haemoglobin (Hb) eluting in zone 10 on capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). In an index case, the aberrant peak was picked up during routine haemoglobinopathy testing using CZE. Mass spectrometry (MS) revealed this aberrant peak to be glycated Hb. Prompted by this initial case, a study was undertaken and the results showed that there was a strong positive linear relationship (R2 = 0.774; ρ = 0.88) between the level of glycated Hb peak eluting in zone 10 and the HbA1c value. Furthermore, all samples with an HbA1c of 54 mmol/mol or greater had an HbA1c peak eluting in zone 10.
Assessing the measurement uncertainty of qualitative analysis in the clinical laboratory
Authors: Lim Yong Kwan , Kweon Oh Joo , Lee Mi-Kyung , Kim Hye Ryoun 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Measurement uncertainty is a parameter that is associated with the dispersion of measurements. Assessment of the measurement uncertainty is recommended in qualitative analyses in clinical laboratories; however, the measurement uncertainty of qualitative tests has been neglected despite the introduction of many adequate methods. We herein provide an overview of three reasonable statistical methods for quantifying the measurement uncertainties of qualitative assays, namely Bayes’ theorem, the normal distribution method, and the information theoretic approach. Unlike in quantitative analysis, the measurement uncertainty of qualitative analysis is expressed using a conditional probability, likelihood ratio, and entropy. With the necessary theoretical background, the practical applications for clinical laboratories are also provided using statistical calculations. Using statistical approaches, we hope that our review will contribute to the use of measurement uncertainty in qualitative analyses in the clinical laboratory environment.
無為 – On the Eurasian Roots of the Laissez-Faire Doctrine
Authors: Gerlach Christian 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This paper focuses on the diffusion of 無為/ wu-wei (an ancient Chinese concept of political economy) throughout Europe, between 1648 and 1848. It argues that at the core of this diffusion process were three significant developments; first, the importation and active transmission of wu-wei by the Low Countries during the seventeenth century. It is revealed that the details of Chinese expertise entered Europe via the textual diffusion of Jesuit texts and the visual diffusion of millions of so-called minben-images during the ceramic boom of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Thus, the hypothesis is advanced that the diffusion of wu-wei, co-evolved with the inner-European laissez-faire principle, the Libaniusian model.
In the second part, it is shown that the intellectual foundation of Europe’s first economic school, Physiocracy, is a direct replica of the imported Chinese economic, agrarian craftsmanship of wu-wei; subsequently, it is denied that the indigenous European Libaniusian ideology can be considered the intellectual master-model of Physiocracy and his founder Quesnay.
Finally, we argue that Switzerland can be identified as the first European paradigm state of wu-wei. The crystallization process of wu-wei inside Europe ultimately ended with the economic-political reorganization of the newly formed Eidgenossenschaft in 1848. The Swiss succeeded in institutionally transforming traditional Chinese agrarian wu-wei into the modern version of European “commercial wu-wei”. In due course, this alpine paradigm enabled the endogenous Libaniusian model to verify and reflect upon its theory of commercial society. Additionally, this third focus also demonstrates that the later development of Europe’s laissez-faire doctrine has to be seen as a Eurasian co-production – without importing China’s wu-wei, Europe’s pro-commercial ideology might never have matured.
Improving the efficiency of silicon solar cells using in situ fabricated perovskite quantum dots as luminescence downshifting materials

Abstract
Luminescence downshifting (LDS) layer integration has been proven to be an efficient way to ameliorate the poor UV-blue spectral response and improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) for solar cells (SCs). By employing an in situ fabricated CH3NH3PbBr3 (CH3NH3 = methylammonium, MAPbBr3) quantum dot/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) composite film as the LDS layer, we observed a clear enhancement in the external quantum efficiency (EQE) for silicon SCs, predominantly in the UV-blue region. With a theoretically calculated intrinsic LDS efficiency (η
LDS) of up to 72%, silicon SCs with the LDS layer exhibited an absolute value of 1% for PCE improvement in comparison to those without the LDS layer. The combination of easy fabrication and low cost makes it a practical way to achieve photovoltaic enhancement of Si-based SCs.
