<b>Environmental Imaginations of the California Channel Islands and Ecological Crisis in T.C. Boyle's <i>When the Killing's Done</i></b> // Imaginaciones medioambientales de las Islas del Canal y la crisis ecológica en <i>When the Killing’s Done</i>
Authors: Leikam Susanne 
Published: March 2020

This article explores T.C. Boyle’s thirteenth novel When the Killing’s Done (2011) in regard to its representation of ecological crisis and the ensuing environmental activism. In particular, it argues that the distinctly urban background and way of life of the two main protagonists, National Park Service staff member Alma Boyd Takesue and radical eco-hipster Dave LaJoy, foster environmental imaginations of the California Channel Islands that underestimate the centuries-long agricultural uses of the islands and romanticize the islands’ ecosystems as pristine ‘wilderness.’ While this perception in the tradition of the ‘American cult of wilderness’ prompts Alma and the National Park Service to reestablish a historical state of the islands’ ecosystems through the calculated extermination of invasive species, eco-activist Dave fiercely fights for the right of every non-human animal to live. Ultimately, the novel deconstructs both these endeavors to biodiversity and animal rights as highly flawed and environmentally as well as ethically inconsistent. Resumen Este artículo explora la decimotercera novela de T. C. Boyle con el título When the Killing’s Done (2011) en cuanto a la representación de la crisis ecológica y al consiguiente activismo ecologista. En particular, afirma que el fondo y la forma de vida claramente urbanos de los dos protagonistas principales, Alma Boyd Takesue, miembro del personal del Servicio de Parques Nacionales, y Dave LaJoy, un eco-hipster radical, fomentan imaginaciones medioambientales de las islas California Channel Islands que subestiman los largos siglos de uso agrícola de las islas e idealizan los ecosistemas de las islas como ‘naturaleza virgen.’ Mientras esta percepción en la tradición del “culto americano de naturaleza virgen” anima a Alma y al Servicio de Parques Nacionales a restablecer un estado histórico de los ecosistemas de las islas a través del exterminio deliberado de especies invasoras, el eco-activista Dave lucha decididamente por el derecho de todos los animales no-humanos a vivir. En última instancia, la novela deconstruye ambos esfuerzos por la biodiversidad y los derechos de los animales como muy imperfectos e inconsistentes tanto ambiental como éticamente.

The Regression Models of Impact Strength of Coir Coconut Fiber Reinforced Resin Matrix Composite Materials
Authors: Fitri Muhamad , Mahzan Shahruddin 
Published: March 2020

The need of coconuts in Indonesia is relatively high. The use of large quantities of coconuts produces large amounts of organic waste from coco fiber, which tends to become waste if it is not used to be beneficial for humans.One of the potential uses of coconut fiber is as a reinforcement of natural fibers in polymer matrix composite materials. Recently, the applications of composite materials have been expanded widely including structural angine component which whitstand certain load like impact load. But most of them used synthetic fiber. Although the use of natural fibers as reinforcement in composite materials has been widely studied, their use is still limited because natural fibers have their own advantages and disadvantages. The purpose of this study was to measure the impact strength of specimens of coconut fiber reinforced polymer matrix composite material, and to determine the effect of the length and concentration of coconut fiber on its impact strength. A significant and valid regression model was also generated in this research, that states the relationship between fiber length and fiber content of resin matrix composite material to its impact strength. The result shows that the impact strength of the samples were influenced by fiber content and fiber length. The regression models for the impact strength of resin composite reinforced with coconut fiber is Y = 4.44 +0.180 X1 – 0.52 X2 Where: Y = Impact Strength (kJ/m2), and X1= Fiber length (mm), and X2= Fiber content (%).

Published: March 2020

Smile being one of the aesthetic parameters most required by patients, dentists tend to evaluate it, among other factors, according to the amount of gingiva that the patient shows when smiling. This smile can be classified as high, medium and low. For correct interpretation and good diagnosis should also be analyzed soft tissue, such as the periodontal biotype, it can be thin and thick. The reason for our investigation is to observe the relationship between the type of smile and the periodontal biotype. The cross-sectional analytical study was performed on 100 UCSG dental students, randomly selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The type of smile was determined, whether it was high, medium or low. The periodontal biotype was determined by two methods: the visual, in which the clinical characteristics of each were analyzed, and by the transparency or not of the probe, through the gingival sulcus in the teeth 11, 12 and 13. Were analyzed 100 subjects, 33 men and 67 women. 27% of the total of the subjects had high smile, 65% showed average smile and the 8 % low smile. 70% showed to have thick biotype while 30% remaining fine biotype. When relating the two variables, of high smile 15%=thin biotype and 85%=thick biotype, of low smile 25%=thin biotype and 75%=thick biotype and of low smile 37%=thin biotype and 63%=thick biotype.
Mass-shedding Activities of Asteroid (3200) Phaethon Enhanced by Its Rotation
Authors: Nakano Ryota , Hirabayashi Masatoshi 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
Asteroid (3200) Phaethon, a B-type asteroid, has been active during its perihelion passages. This asteroid is considered to be a source of the Geminid meteor stream. It is reported that this asteroid is spinning at a rotation period of 3.60 hr and has a top shape (an oblate body with an equatorial ridge) with a mean equatorial diameter of 6.25 km. Here, we report that Phaethon’s rotation state may be close to or above its critical rotation period when the bulk density is

(a typical bulk density of a B-type asteroid). We found that in this condition, the structure of Phaethon is sensitive to failure unless the cohesive strength is

. This result implies that if there are some surface processes driven by, for example, thermal waves, large-scaled deformation may happen and cause mass shedding. From this interpretation, we propose the processes that produced the Geminid meteor stream in the past and dust tails recently. Phaethon initially rotated at a spin period shorter than the current period. The magnitude of structural deformation at this stage was higher than the present spin condition, and a large mass-shedding event, i.e., the Geminid meteor stream, occurred. After this deformation process, the body became more oblate, and its spin slowed down. At this point, while the spin was high enough for the body to have mass-shedding events, the magnitude of these events became small.

Published: March 2020

Background: To suggest a new way of eliciting pyramidal tract dysfunction in adults since the most widely utilized plantar reflex, which is the Babinski reflex, has limitations with different reliability and consistency among different examiners.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Materials and methods: 168 adult subjects were examined for the new sign in addition. It consists of just an observation of the patient&rsquo;s feet and toes in a conscious patient looking for the extension of the great toe along with fanning, spreading and plantar flexion of the small toes either at rest or when patient elevates one leg up at a time.
&nbsp;
Results: We were able to observe the extension of the great toe along with fanning, spreading and plantar flexion of the small toes in patients with impairment of pyramidal tract. The specificity was 94% while the sensitivity was 96%.
&nbsp;
Conclusion: Pyramidal tract lesion in adults can be elicited by this new test that observes the extension of the great toe along with fanning, spreading and plantar flexion of the small toes in patients. We suggest this sign as a complement to established signs like Babinski reflex.
Evaluation of the Possible Risk Factors on Bronchial Closure Techniques for Bronchopleural Fistula after Lung Resection
Authors: Yanik Fazli , Karamustafaoglu Yekta A. , Yoruk Yener 
Published: March 2020

Background: Broncho-pleural fistula (BPF) can occur after pulmonary resections as a complication with high morbidity and mortality rates.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Aim: In the present study, we analyzed the relation between the possible risk factors and the two major bronchial closure techniques for BPF after lung resections, and the management methods of BPF.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Materials and methods: A total of 26 cases detected and managed with BPF diagnosis in our clinic between September 2005 and September 2017 were evaluated retrospectively. The cases were divided into two groups: Group 1 (n=14); bronchial closure performed manually and Group 2 (n=12) bronchial closure with stapler. We analyzed cases for age, gender, body mass index, pulmonary function tests, time to fistula, total protein/albumin level, length of hospital stay, bronchial stump distance, presence of bronchial stump coverage, and the mean survivals.
&nbsp;
Results: Twenty-three of the cases were males (88.5%) with a mean age of 60.03&plusmn;8.7 years (range 38-73). While BPF was detected in twenty-three (88.5%) of the cases after pneumonectomy, three (11.5%) of them were after lobectomy. There was no statistically significant correlation between the two groups in gender, age, BMI, preoperative FEV1, time to fistula, total protein/albumin level, length of hospital stay, bronchial stump distance, and presence of bronchial stump coverage (chi-square test, p>0.05). As a result of the applied Kaplan-Meier analysis, we found no statistically significant difference in the mean survival rates between the two groups (p>0.05).
&nbsp;
Conclusions: Broncho-pleural fistulas still remains a major challenge. Although there is no statistical relationship between bronchial closure techniques and possible risk factors in our study, patients should be assessed in terms of possible risk factors. The management strategy for BPF varies according to individual patients&rsquo; clinical condition, the size of the fistula, and development time.

Authors: Guler Yavuz , Ucpinar Burak , Erbin Akif 
Published: March 2020

Introduction: Testicular cancers detected in older males are mostly testicular lymphomas. Primary testicular lymphoma (PTL) is a rare, clinically aggressive form of extranodal lymphoma. In population-based studies, the &nbsp;incidence of PTL is 0.09-0.26/100.000. The vast majority of PTL are diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
&nbsp;
Case presentation: We present a case of PTL diagnosed in a 68-year-old male patient and also, we discuss the incidence, clinical presentation, prognostic factors and management of this rare pathology in the light of current literature. Histopathological and immunohistochemical exams of the patient confirmed the diagnosis of DLBCL after radical orchiectomy. According to the internal prognostic index (IPI), patients&rsquo; IPI score was evaluated as 5 and according to Ann Arbor staging, patients&rsquo; stage was interpreted as grade 3E. Cyclophosphamide, vincristine, etoposide, and prednisolone chemotherapy was planned for the patient and until now, the patient received his first chemotherapy regimen.
&nbsp;
Discussion: Primary testicular lymphoma should be kept in mind for every patient who admits with a testicular mass, especially in advanced age. &nbsp;Misinterpreatation of the clinical findings can delay the definitive diagnosis. Primary testicular lymphoma should be managed with a multi-disciplinary team including urologists, medical and radiation oncologists.&nbsp;

Published: March 2020

Introduction: Kisspeptin is biologically active peptide encoded by the KISS1 gene that is structurally found in the kidney tubule, collecting duct and vein smooth muscle cells.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Aim: We aimed to investigate the role of kisspeptin in kidney function and renal pathophysiology in experimental kidney ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Materials and methods: Male Spraque-Dawley rats were divided into control and I/R groups (n=8). Both kidney vessels of I/R group rats were clamped and subjected to ischemia for 60 minutes and reperfusion for 48 hours. After the reperfusion period blood samples and kidney tissue were collected under anesthesia.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Results: Levels of urea, creatinine (p<0.01) in serum, Kim-1 in urine (p<0.05) were increased, creatinine clearance, aldosterone and ANG II levels in serum were decreased in the I/R group compared with the Control group (p<0.05). Kidney kisspeptin levels decreased and urine kisspeptin levels increased (p<0.05).&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Conclusions: The present study has shown that the levels of kisspeptin change in kidney damage and thus the kisspeptin may play a role in the regulation of renal function and in the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury.

Published: March 2020

Background: When diagnosing and treating male infertility it is important to determine whether there are defects in the maturation process of sperm nuclei. Using nutritional supplements can improve the morphological and physiological condition of the spermatozoa. In recent years there has been an increase in the usage of supplements with different compositions which strives to determine the best combination and avoid side effects.
&nbsp;
Aim: To study the effect of PAPA nutritional supplement on the levels of DNA fragmentation of sperm cells tested with acridine orange test (single stranded DNA against double stranded DNA) in men with sub/infertility.
&nbsp;
Materials and methods: 48 men with confirmed sub/infertility underwent treatment for three months with nutritional supplement PAPA containing 9 micronutrients. The differences in levels of DNA fragmentation were determined with acridine orange test, which was conducted before and after the treatment.
&nbsp;
Results: The results were statistically significant (p<0.001) showing an increase in the number of green spermatozoa (normal DNA), and a decrease of damaged ones (orange and red). After treatment the level of sperm DNA fragmentation decreased by 10.2%.
&nbsp;
Conclusion: Men with confirmed sub/infertility that took nutritional supplement PAPA for three moths showed a decrease in DNA fragmentation levels of 10.2% determined by AO test which implies an improvement of male fertility levels.
