Ontophany and transimmanence in the experience of contemporary media artworks
Authors: Freitas Gabriela 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
How have contemporary media artworks been proposing hybrid experiences, discussing the ontological implications from the experimentation with emerging techniques that alter our way of being-in-the-world? These experiences dialectically articulate aesthetic relations between real and virtual, visible and invisible, human and technological. In this article, we develop a participant observation of two specific works: Generation 244 (2011), by Scott Draves, and Zee (2008), by Kurt Hentschläger. This observation establishes a dialogue with phenomenology as it considers experience and perception as needed prerequisites for the analysis, as proposed by Merleau-Ponty. In this scenario, we have observed that a whole way of partitioning the sensible resets itself and points in the direction of a trans-immanence, generating an integrated knowledge that not only relies on reason, but in a collective wisdom where we can find, according to Didi-Huberman, a ‘light of survival’.

Published: March 2020

Optimization of tissue culture and regeneration conditions of eggplant is necessary for achieving different goals such as gene transformation and the development of somaclonal variations. In this study, hypocotyl explants ware used to produce callus in a medium containing different concentrations of NAA and BAP. Moreover, the concentration of the elements Ca, Mn, Mg, Fe and K were measured and analysed between embryogenic and non-embryogenic calli. For shoot elongation, embryogenic calli were transferred to a new culture medium containing 3.5, 4 and 4.5 mg l-1 BAP plus 2 mg l-1 GA3. Finally, produced shoots were rooted in a culture medium containing 1, 1.5 and 2 mg l-1 NAA. Results showed that the best treatment for the embryogenic callus induction was MS medium containing 0.5 mg l-1 BAP plus 0.25 mg l-1 NAA. Two elements, Fe and K, had the highest amount in non-embryogenic calli compare to the embryogenic one. For plant regeneration, MS medium containing 4.5 mg l-1 BAP plus 2 mg l-1 GA3 and 2 mg l-1 NAA were the best treatments for shooting and rooting, respectively. In this study, the best treatments for plant regeneration produced 35 shoots from an explant with 92 % shooting. This regeneration protocol could be useful for gene transformation and micro-propagation studies.
Review: Rheology concepts applied to geotechnical engineering

Published: March 2020

Abstract
The effect of time on soil properties, noticeable in many earthworks, is recognized by geotechnicians. For example, secondary compression and aging pre-consolidation are considered in geotechnical design, and strain rate is standardized in geotechnical laboratory and field tests. Elastic-plastic models, from rigid-perfect plastic to Modified Cam Clay, which do not consider the effects of time, solve most geotechnical problems. However, solutions for prolonged settlements, landslides, debris flow and mudflow could profit from a deeper understanding of rheological models. In fact, rheological concepts, despite not always clearly stated, have been used to address some of these problems, and may also be important for using new materials in geotechnical practice (tailings, sludge, soil-polymer mixtures and other materials with water content higher than the liquid limit). This paper introduces basic concepts of rheology for geotechnicians, specially highlighting viscoelasticity under simple shear stress, which explains with reasonable accuracy well known phenomena dependent on time in soils. The objective is to bring geotechnicians to rheology and show another important tool to access geotechnical problems. On the other hand, a brief explanation of geotechnical tests is presented for rheologists not acquainted with geotechnical engineering. Geotechnical tests procedures are discussed in the light of rheology concepts, terminology is clarified, examples of application of rheology in geotechnics are presented, and determination of soil rheological parameters by traditional geotechnical tests as well as by tests on concrete is commented.
Silymarin: not just another antioxidant
Authors: Camini Fernanda Caetano , Costa Daniela Caldeira 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
Silymarin (Silybum marianum; SM), popularly known as milk thistle, is an extract that has been used for many centuries to treat liver diseases. In recent years, several studies have shown that SM is not only just another antioxidant but also a multifunctional compound that exhibits several beneficial properties for use in the treatment and prevention of different types of pathologies and disorders. This review aims at demonstrating the main protective activities of SM in diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, alcoholic liver disease, hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B virus, metabolic syndrome, depression, cardiovascular diseases and thalassemia, in addition to its photoprotective activity in in vitro tests and preclinical studies. Its main functions include antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and it acts as modulator of signaling pathways. It has been suggested that SM presents great multifunctional potential and is capable of achieving promising results in different types of research. However, caution is still needed regarding its indiscriminate use in humans as there are only a few clinical studies relating to the adequate dose and the actual efficacy of this extract in different types of diseases.
Crank-Nicolson orthogonal spline collocation method combined with WSGI difference scheme for the two-dimensional time-fractional diffusion-wave equation
Authors: Xu Xiaoyong , Zhou Fengying 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
In this paper, a discrete orthogonal spline collocation method combining with a second-order Crank-Nicolson weighted and shifted Grünwald integral (WSGI) operator is proposed for solving time-fractional wave equations based on its equivalent partial integro-differential equations. The stability and convergence of the schemes have been strictly proved. Several numerical examples in one variable and in two space variables are given to demonstrate the theoretical analysis.

Los vocativos de cariño en español peninsular. Un enfoque desde la Metalengua Semántica Natural
Authors: Bułat Silva Zuzanna 
Published: March 2020

ResumenEn el presente artículo adoptamos el punto de vista de laEtnopragmáticacomo marco metodológico que nos permite interpretar estrategias lingüísticas a través de su relación con ciertos aspectos culturales que motivan el uso de tales estrategias. En concreto, nos proponemos abordar la relación que existe entre losguiones culturalesespañoles y las formas de tratamiento nominales de afecto (vocativos de cariño) usadas en el español peninsular. Los guiones culturales parecen una herramienta muy adecuada para explicitar laspremisas socioculturalesque subyacen a las interpretaciones que hacemos de las funciones que ejercen los vocativos en la cortesía española. Vamos a centrarnos sobre todo en la relación entre los guiones culturales típicamente españoles tales como “expresividad”, “halagar a otro”, “dirigirse a otros con cariño” y “ser amistoso”, así como en los vocativos de cariñoalma, vida, cieloycariño. Para la explicitación, por un lado, del contenido semántico de los vocativos, y, por el otro, de los valores culturales que subyacen a su uso, se aplicará el método de análisis semántico-pragmático desde la perspectiva de laMetalengua Semántica Natural(NSM).
Integration of Swimming-Related Synaptic Excitation and Inhibition by olig2+Eurydendroid Neurons in Larval Zebrafish Cerebellum
Authors: Harmon Thomas C. , McLean David L. , Raman Indira M. 
Published: March 2020

The cerebellum influences motor control through Purkinje target neurons, which transmit cerebellar output. Such output is required, for instance, for larval zebrafish to learn conditioned fictive swimming. The output cells, called eurydendroid neurons (ENs) in teleost fish, are inhibited by Purkinje cells and excited by parallel fibers. Here, we investigated the electrophysiological properties of glutamatergic ENs labeled by the transcription factorolig2.Action potential firing and synaptic responses were recorded in current clamp and voltage clamp from olig2+neurons in immobilized larval zebrafish (before sexual differentiation) and were correlated with motor behavior by simultaneous recording of fictive swimming. In the absence of swimming, olig2+ENs had basal firing rates near 8 spikes/s, and EPSCs and IPSCs were evident. Comparing Purkinje firing rates and eurydendroid IPSC rates indicated that 1-3 Purkinje cells converge onto each EN. Optogenetically suppressing Purkinje simple spikes, while preserving complex spikes, suggested that eurydendroid IPSC size depended on presynaptic spike duration rather than amplitude. During swimming, EPSC and IPSC rates increased. Total excitatory and inhibitory currents during sensory-evoked swimming were both more than double those during spontaneous swimming. During both spontaneous and sensory-evoked swimming, the total inhibitory current was more than threefold larger than the excitatory current. Firing rates of ENs nevertheless increased, suggesting that the relative timing of IPSCs and EPSCs may permit excitation to drive additional eurydendroid spikes. The data indicate that olig2+cells are ENs whose activity is modulated with locomotion, suiting them to participate in sensorimotor integration associated with cerebellum-dependent learning.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe cerebellum contributes to movements through signals generated by cerebellar output neurons, called eurydendroid neurons (ENs) in fish (cerebellar nuclei in mammals). ENs receive sensory and motor signals from excitatory parallel fibers and inhibitory Purkinje cells. Here, we report electrophysiological recordings from ENs of larval zebrafish that directly illustrate how synaptic inhibition and excitation are integrated by cerebellar output neurons in association with motor behavior. The results demonstrate that inhibitory and excitatory drive both increase during fictive swimming, but inhibition greatly exceeds excitation. Firing rates nevertheless increase, providing evidence that synaptic integration promotes cerebellar output during locomotion. The data offer a basis for comparing aspects of cerebellar coding that are conserved and that diverge across vertebrates.

AbstractAnalysis of patient-derived DNA samples has identified hundreds of variants that are likely involved in neuropsychiatric diseases such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ). While these studies couple behavioral phenotypes to individual genotypes, the number and diversity of candidate genes implicated in these disorders highlights the fact that the mechanistic underpinnings of these disorders are largely unknown. Here, we describe a RNAi-based screening platform that uses C. elegans to screen candidate neuropsychiatric risk genes (NRGs) for roles in controlling dendritic arborization. To benchmark this approach, we queried published lists of NRGs whose variants in ASD and SCZ are predicted to result in complete or partial loss of gene function. We found that a significant fraction (&gt;16%) of these candidate NRGs are essential for dendritic development. Furthermore, these gene sets are enriched for dendritic arbor phenotypes (&gt;14 fold) when compared to control RNAi datasets of over 500 human orthologs. The diversity of PVD structural abnormalities observed in these assays suggests that the functions of diverse NRGs (encoding transcription factors, chromatin remodelers, molecular chaperones and cytoskeleton-related proteins) converge to regulate neuronal morphology and that individual NRGs may play distinct roles in dendritic branching. We also demonstrate that the experimental value of this platform by providing additional insights into the molecular frameworks of candidate NRGs. Specifically, we show that ANK2/UNC-44 function is directly integrated with known regulators of dendritic arborization and suggest that altering the dosage of ARID1B/LET-526 expression during development affects neuronal morphology without diminishing aspects of cell fate specification.
New records of <i> Hipposideros griffini </i> from lava caves and the threats to its conservation in Vietnam
Authors: Thong Vu Dinh 
Published: March 2020

Lava caves are unique and fragile ecosystems which are suitable for a wide variety of plant and animal species. However, the biodiversity of lava caves is still poorly studied. To increase knowledge of these special ecosystems, several rapid surveys on bats were carried out in Dak Nong Province in sounthern Vietnam between 2014 and 2019. Bats were captured in the field using mist nets and harp traps. Echolocation calls were recorded in different situations using the PCTape system. The results include records of Griffin’s leaf-nosed bat (Hipposideros griffini) which is regarded as a species endemic to Vietnam only. Prior to the present study, it was only recorded from karst and moutain habitats in three different regions of Vietnam: Cat Ba National Park in the northeast, Chu Mom Ray in the central highlands, and Cat Tien National Park in the southeast. Records of Hipposideros griffini from Dak Nong Province extend its distributional range and highlight the importance of lava cave systems for biodiversity research and conservation in Vietnam. Griffin’s leaf-nosed bat and other animal species inhabiting the lava caves have been critically threatened by hunting and other human activities. Morphological measurements and echolocation calls of Hipposideros griffini together with the threats to its conservation status in Dak Nong Province are given in this paper.
Journalism Theories: Why They Do Not Work?
Authors: Dmitrovsky Andrei 
Published: March 2020

The discussion started by the journal Theoretical and Practical Issues of Journalism to revise the existing approaches to the theory of journalism, did not arise by chance. According to some philosophers, we are witnessing the dismantling of the capitalist system: the world is irreversibly changing. This fact applies to all spheres of life. Obviously, a new — third (in addition to mental and cultural), virtual reality is being formed (hyperreality). The era of the Digital is coming, the time of artificial entities — simulacra.
And it is precisely at this epoch break that the essence of journalism manifested itself. Why was society able to exist? Solely thanks to a certain centripetal force integrating the most diverse centrifugal elements and aspirations into a single rational human system. Not politics, not economics, not culture, but journalism, through the organization of the flow of images, allows all those social institutions to function normally, which we habitually perceive as managers of society. The attitude towards journalism itself reflects this fact: it has not yet developed generally accepted criteria for excellence. And if for the functioning of the journalism of the Gutenberg era, its superficial understanding was sufficient, then today the theorists are confused before the surging reality: media, journalism, media and mediality, communications, IT technologies, virtuality.
The author substantiates the idea that the problem of creating the theory of journalism lies not in certain scientific approaches (or specific scientific disciplines), but in the absence of understanding of the phenomenon of journalism that would be congruent (authentic) with modern realities. Today the vast majority of researchers (at least in Russia) is interpreting journalism as a kind of narrow field of practice, without actually taking into account the true scale and importance of the "media phenomenon" in the functioning of the modern information society. To solve this problem it is necessary to create a General (meta-) theory of journalism, which has the character of interdisciplinary generalization.

Published: March 2020

This paper tries to assess the monetary policy on macroeconomic indicators in Bangladesh. The central bank declares monetary policy statement twice in every year to pursue its macroeconomic goals. The assessment provides that during the sample period, monetary policy is not strong enough to control the inflation rate. In addition, policies did not appear itself as ignition to the investment process as well as the growth rate of GDP. This assessment leaves an interesting outcome: monetary policy is not independent and strong enough to pursue its macroeconomics goals. JEL Classification Code: M51, M52

Published: March 2020

Summary
The Y basin in the South China Sea has 15 trillion m3 of natural gas and represents typical ultra high-pressure high-temperature (ultra-HPHT) subsurface conditions, with the maximum bottomhole pressure (BHP) of 142 MPa (equivalent density = 2.38 sg), the highest bottomhole temperature (BHT) of 249°C at a depth of 5638 m, and an extremely narrow drilling mud density window. Therefore, there are several kinds of technical challenges during drilling operations. In recent years, managed pressure drilling (MPD) has been successfully applied in the basin with reduction of risks and well cost. Presented research focuses on a successful field case study of MPD in the Y basin.
The case study consisted of two parts: MPD operational designs and MPD operational procedures. MPD operational designs included two steps: the precise calculation of drilling fluid equivalent circulating density (ECD) and the optimization of operational parameters. Four models were used in calculating drilling fluid ECD: wellbore heat transfer model, drilling fluid equivalent static density (ESD) model, drilling fluid rheological property model, and incorporating the effects of cuttings in the pressure loss model. The second step included two key operational parameters: mud weight (MW) and surface backpressure (SBP). MPD operational procedures were performed in three steps: roles and responsibilities of key personnel during MPD operations, wellsite training program and emergency procedures. Emergency procedures included unexpected drilling events, downhole equipment failures, and surface equipment failures.
Taking X-1 Well as an example from the field case study, the following important observations were made. First, the MPD equipment was installed after remodeling of the drilling platform, installation of the wellhead assembly, and pressure testing of the MPD equipment. Next, the MW was set to 2.15 sg and the SBP was maintained at 525 psi while drilling the 8⅜ in. hole section on the basis of the operational design. In addition, the possible risks and corresponding preventive measures were taken into account and the MPD casedhole fingerprinting exercises were carried out. Finally, the MPD was successfully applied to X gas field featuring offshore ultra-HPHT. In addition, the dynamic formation integrity test (DFIT) and stripping out of hole with SBP were conducted. The well was successfully drilled in the narrow drilling mud density window of 0.05 sg without incidents and a sharp drop in the nonproductive time (NPT) was observed. Also, the casing structure was optimized from 7 to 5 strings with a significant reduction in the well cost and drilling time.
