Anomalous Anderson localization behavior in gain-loss balanced non-Hermitian systems
Authors: Jiang Tianshu , Fang Anan , Zhang Zhao-Qing , Chan Che Ting 
Published: July 2020

AbstractIt has been shown recently that the backscattering of wave propagation in one-dimensional disordered media can be entirely suppressed for normal incidence by adding sample-specific gain and loss components to the medium. Here, we study the Anderson localization behaviors of electromagnetic waves in such gain-loss balanced random non-Hermitian systems when the waves are obliquely incident on the random media. We also study the case of normal incidence when the sample-specific gain-loss profile is slightly altered so that the Anderson localization occurs. Our results show that the Anderson localization in the non-Hermitian system behaves differently from random Hermitian systems in which the backscattering is suppressed.

Containing the Surplus Rebellion: Prison Strike/Prison Riot
Authors: Stark Alejo 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
The 2016 and 2018 wave of prison strikes in the United States presents itself as an extraordinary flashpoint of the prisoner resistance movement. But how might these events be understood in relation to what has been broadly characterized as an “age of riots”? Following Joshua Clover’s characterization of the contemporary riot in Riot. Strike. Riot. as a “surplus rebellion” of racialized “surplus populations” and given the characterization of the contemporary carceral state as a warehouse to contain such racialized populations, this essay characterizes the contemporary wave of prison riots accordingly as a “surplus rebellion.” More specifically, it focuses on the Kinross prison strike-riot that broke out in September 2016 in Michigan’s Kinross prison in order to derive some general parallels between the surplus rebellion and the singularity of recent prison strikes.
Bioeconomic Peace Research and Policy
Authors: Brauer Jurgen , McDougal Topher 
Published: July 2020

AbstractWe argue for viewing COVID-19 as an additional instance of bioeconomic interaction in an ongoing history of human relations with the rest of nature. We assert that COVID-19 and other increasingly frequent zoonotic pandemic diseases are a further example of global public bads (GPBs), which are collectively provoking the transition from an extensive to an intensive economic growth model characterized by the provision of corresponding global public goods (GPGs) and sigmoid growth. We describe how these dynamics map on to the classic production–predation dichotomy of peace and conflict economics and call for that dichotomy to be extended to the relationship between the human and nonhuman worlds. Finally, we argue that peace economists are particularly well-positioned to extend their research to diagnose human–nonhuman peace and conflict.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Polymer dispersed liquid crystalline (PDLC) membrane with intrinsic thermal conductivity was prepared by dispersing liquid crystalline polysiloxane containing crosslinked structure (liquid crystalline polysiloxane elastomer (LCPE)) into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Chemical structures were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and 1H-NMR, and microscopic structures were analyzed by polarizing optical microscope (POM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The thermal conductivity of PDLC membrane was characterized by hot disk thermal constants analyzer, and the tensile properties were measured by tensile testing machine. Thermal properties were characterized by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA). The results show that LCPE was dispersed in PVA uniformly, and the mesogenic monomer of LCPE formed microscopic ordered structures in PDLC membrane. Meanwhile, hydrogen-bond interaction was formed between LCPE and PVA chain. Both microscopic-ordered structure and the hydrogen-bond interaction improved the phonon transmission path, and the thermal conductivity of PDLC membrane was up to 0.74 W/m⋅K, which was 6 times higher than that of pure PVA film. PDLC membrane possessed proper tensile strength and elongation at break, respectively 5.18 MPa and 338%. As a result, PDLC membrane can be used as thermal conductive membrane in electronic packaging and other related fields.
Effect of slot end faces on the three-dimensional airflow field from the melt-blowing die
Authors: Wang Yudong , Zhou Jianping 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
In order to investigate the effect of the slot ends of the melt-blowing die on the three-dimensional airflow field distribution and the fiber draft, the numerical calculation was carried out. The computational domain of the slot die was established with Gambit, and the flow field was calculated using FLUENT. Compared with the experimental data collected by a hot-wire anemometer, the numerical calculation results are credible. The results show that the slot end face has a certain influence on the three-dimensional flow field distribution under the melt-blowing die. The air velocity and temperature in the center region are quite different from those near the slot-end face. As the distance from the center of the flow field increases, the velocity and temperature on the spinning line begin to decrease. The velocity and temperature distributions of the spinning lines in the central area and nearby areas are almost the same; the temperature and velocity values on the spinning lines near the slot end are the lowest. The distribution characteristics of the three-dimensional airflow field could affect the uniformity of the fiber diameter and the meltblowing products.
Training the brain: could it improve multiple sclerosis treatment?
Authors: Silva Berenice Anabel , Miglietta Esteban Alberto , Ferrari Carina Cintia 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease characterized by neuroinflammation, demyelination and axonal degeneration along with loss of function in the central nervous system. For many years, research in MS has focused on the efficacy of pharmacological treatments. However, during the last years, many publications have been dedicated to the study of the efficacy of non-pharmacological strategies, such as physical exercise and cognitive training. Beneficial effects of the combination of both strategies on cognitive function have been described in both ageing adults and patients with neurodegenerative diseases, such as MS. The analysis of combining both physical and cognitive stimulation can be summarized by the environmental enrichment (EE) experiments, which are more suitable for animal models. EE refers to housing conditions consisting of exercise and cognitive and social stimulation. In this review, we will summarize the available studies that describe the influence of EE in both MS patients and MS animal models.
Static mechanical allodynia in post-surgical neuropathic pain after breast cancer treatments
Authors: Mustonen Laura , Aho Tommi , Harno Hanna , Kalso Eija 
Published: July 2020

Abstract

Objectives
Static mechanical allodynia (SMA), i. e., pain caused by normally non-painful static pressure, is a prevalent manifestation of neuropathic pain (NP). Although SMA may significantly affect the patient’s daily life, it is less well studied in the clinical context. We aimed to characterize SMA in women with chronic post-surgical NP (CPSNP) after breast cancer surgery. Our objective was to improve understanding of the clinical picture of this prevalent pain condition. This is a substudy of a previously published larger cohort of patients with intercostobrachial nerve injury after breast cancer surgery (Mustonen et al. Pain. 2019;160:246–56).

Methods
We studied SMA in 132 patients with CPSNP after breast cancer surgery. The presence, location, and intensity of SMA were assessed at clinical sensory examination. The patients gave self-reports of pain with the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). We studied the association of SMA to type of surgery, oncological treatments, BMI, other pains, and psychological factors. General pain sensitivity was assessed by the cold pressor test.

Results
SMA was prevalent (84%) in this cohort whereas other forms of allodynia were scarce (6%). Moderate-to-severe SMA was frequently observed even in patients who reported mild pain in BPI. Breast and the side of chest were the most common locations of SMA. SMA was associated with breast surgery type, but not with psychological factors. Severe SMA, but not self-reported pain, was associated with lower cold pain tolerance.

Conclusions
SMA is prevalent in post-surgical NP after breast cancer surgery and it may represent a distinct NP phenotype. High intensities of SMA may signal the presence of central sensitization.

Implications
SMA should be considered when examining and treating patients with post-surgical NP after breast cancer surgery.

Published: July 2020

Abstract

Objectives
Butylparaben is widely used synthetic polymer as preservative in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Although butylparaben is metabolized in the detoxification organs including liver and kidney, some parts of it can retain and accumulate in the body. Parabens can impair developmental and reproductive health, though there is not any published data related with the influence of the butylparaben on the oxidative stress metabolism in the detoxification organs. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate antioxidant enzyme activities in the liver, kidney and spleen of butylparaben-treated rat.

Methods
Prepubertal Wistar albino male rats were administered with 0, 100, 200, 400 mg/kg/day butylparaben for 28 days. After treatment, enzyme activities were evaluated as the biomarkers of the oxidative stress.

Results
Enzyme activities including glucose-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), 6-phosphoglucanate dehydrogenase (6-PGD), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione s-transferase (GST) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were impaired upon butylparaben treatment in the liver, kidney and spleen tissues.

Conclusions
Exposure to endocrine disruptors may affect enzyme activities of the detoxification organs and change the pentose phosphate glutathione (GSH) metabolisms. According to our data oxidative stress metabolism is impaired in the spleen, kidney and liver tissue upon butylparaben treatment that has been indicated first time in the literature.

4 tetrahedral interstices. They often exhibit temperature-driven order-disorder phase transitions, which are triggered by repulsion of hydrogen atoms occupying neighboring tetrahedral interstices. Because of the phase widths with respect to hydrogen a complete ordering, i.e., full occupation of all hydrogen positions is usually not achieved. Order-disorder transitions in Laves phase hydrides are thus phase transitions between crystal structures with different degrees of hydrogen order. Comparing the crystal structures of ordered and disordered phases reveals close symmetry relationships in all known cases. This allows new insights into the crystal chemical description of such phases and into the nature of the phase transitions. Structural relationships for over 40 hydrides of cubic and hexagonal Laves phases ZrV2, HfV2, ZrCr2, ZrCo2, LaMg2, CeMg2, PrMg2, NdMg2, SmMg2, YMn2, ErMn2, TmMn2, LuMn2, Lu0.4Y0.6Mn2 YFe2, and ErFe2 are concisely described in terms of crystallographic group-subgroup schemes (Bärnighausen trees) covering 32 different crystal structure types, 26 of which represent hydrogen-ordered crystal structures.

Published: July 2020

ABSTRACTBackground:The purpose of this in-vitro study was to evaluate the centering ability and the apical transportation of curved root canals after preparation with WaveOne Gold single-file reciprocating system with guidance of different glide path systems by using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography. Methods:Seventy-two extracted mandibular first molar teeth with curved mesial roots were selected for this study. Specimens were randomly divided into six experimental groups according to the root canal preparation (n = 12): Group G-File; Group One G; Group ProGlider; Group PathFile; Group K-files; and Group control. After forming a glide path, root canal preparation procedure was completed with WaveOne Gold primary instrument (#25). Cone-beam computed tomographic images of specimens were taken before and after root canal preparation procedure. Apical transportation and centering ability were evaluated at 1, 4, and 7 mm from the apical foramen. The data were statistically analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis test at a significance level of P = 0.05. Results:There were no significant differences among all experimental groups. (p &gt; 0.05) Conclusion:Creating a glide path in curved root canals with either NiTi glide path files or stainless still manuel K-files before root canal preparation with WaveOne Gold Primary caused similar apical transportation and centering ability results with no glide path used group.
Modelos Dinâmicos Aplicados à Aprendizagem de Valores em Inteligência Artificial
Authors: Corrêa Nicholas Kluge , De Oliveira Nythamar 
Published: July 2020

Especialistas em desenvolvimento de Inteligência Artificial (IA) prevêem que o avanço no desenvolvimento de sistemas e agentes inteligentes irá remodelar áreas vitais em nossa sociedade. Contudo, se tal avanço não for realizado de maneira prudente e crítico-reflexiva, pode resultar em desfechos negativos para a humanidade. Por este motivo, diversos pesquisadores na área têm desenvolvido uma concepção de IA robusta, benéfica e segura para a preservação da humanidade e do meio-ambiente. Atualmente, diversos dos problemas em aberto no campo de pesquisa em IA advêm da dificuldade de evitar comportamentos indesejados de agentes e sistemas inteligentes, e ao mesmo tempo especificar o que realmente queremos que tais sistemas façam, especialmente quando prospectamos a possibilidade de agentes inteligentes atuarem em vários domínios ao longo prazo. É de suma importância que agentes inteligentes artificiais tenham seus valores alinhados com os valores humanos, dado ao fato de que não podemos esperar que uma IA desenvolva valores morais humanos por conta de sua inteligência, conforme é discutido na Tese da Ortogonalidade. Talvez tal dificuldade venha da maneira que estamos abordando o problema de expressar objetivos, valores e metas, utilizando de métodos cognitivos representacionais. Uma solução para este problema seria a abordagem dinâmica proposta por Dreyfus, que com base na filosofia fenomenológica mostra que a experiência humana do ser-no-mundo em diversos aspectos não é bem representada pelo método cognitivo simbólico ou conexionista, especialmente na questão de aprendizagem de valores. Uma possível abordagem para esse problema seria a utilização de modelos téoricos como SED (situated embodied dynamics) para abordar o porblema de aprendizagem de valores em IA.
Funkcjonowanie nastolatków w fandomie Harry’ego Pottera w ich narracji
Authors: Wojtkowska Lilianna Marta 
Published: July 2020

Cel: Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie stylów funkcjonowania nastolatka w społeczności fanowskiej Harry’ego Pottera w jego narracji, a także poznanie kultury tejże jako przykładu kultury pobocznej kultury popularnej.
Metody: Aby zrealizować założony cel, zostały wykorzystane następujące metody: wywiad narracyjny, obserwacja uczestnicząca oraz analiza hermeneutyczna treści stworzonych przez fanów cyklu o Harrym Potterze. W artykule starano się opisać problem w sposób gadamerowski: od ogółu do szczegółu, zwracając uwagę na kwestie: kulturalne, pedagogiczne, psychologiczne i socjologiczne. W związku z tym rozważania uzupełniono o koncepcję psychologii twórczości Edwarda Nęcki czy kultury uczestnictwa Henry’ego Jenkinsa.
Wyniki: Nastolatkowie czynnie uczestniczą w życiu fandomu poprzez kształtowanie jego struktury oraz tworzenie fanfiction. W tymże środowisku młodzi ludzie dążą do nawiązywania interakcji interpersonalnych poprzez wymianę zdań na interesujący ich temat, np. zasadności istnienia danego pairingu czy schematycznej budowy fanfika, ale również podejmowanie współpracy z innymi fanami-autorami. W fandomie występuje hierarchia członków, na czele której znajdują się fani-autorzy uważani za tzw. klasycznych twórców fanfiction.
Wnioski: Pasja, jaką jest zgłębianie uniwersum powieści (tu: cyklu powieściowego „Harry Potter”) oraz jego modyfikowanie, staje się przyczynkiem do poszukiwania docelowej grupy fanów, w której nastolatek byłby akceptowany, lubiany i doceniany. Nastolatkowie odnoszą sukcesy w koegzystowaniu w fandomie, ale również ponoszą porażki. Innymi słowy kultura uczestnictwa sprzyja procesowi socjalizacji będącej według Antoniny Kłoskowskiej m.in. wpływem materialnym aparatu kultury (Kłoskowska, 1969, s. 325). Ponadto tworzenie fanfiction ma wartość edukacyjną, a mianowicie udoskonala kompetencje twarde i miękkie kilkunastolatków.
Moda na kulturę – pomiędzy indywidualnością a powszechnością w kulturze współczesnej
Authors: Pilawska Roksana Agnieszka 
Published: July 2020

Cel. Dokonując interpretacji wybranych zjawisk społeczno-kulturowych, w poniższym artykule starałam się wykazać, że współczesna kultura popularna rozumiana jako przestrzeń codzienności, staje się specyficzną płaszczyzną aktywności pozwalającą na hybrydowe i spójne połączenie tego, co indywidualne z tym, co powszechne lub wręcz masowe. Moim celem – a zarazem najważniejszym pytaniem, wokół którego koncentrowałam swoje rozważania – było uchwycenie wzajemnych zależności pomiędzy „ekonomizacją” wybranych elementów kultury, a kształtowaniem świadomości odbiorców i tworzeniem nowych, społecznie uprawomocnionych schematów funkcjonowania jednostki w przestrzeni społeczno-kulturowej.
Metoda. We wstępie artykułu przywołałam współczesne rozumienie kultury popularnej z perspektywy culturalstudies, jako przestrzeni konstruującej tożsamość jednostek. Następnie odwołując się do rozważań Zbyszko Melosika, próbowałam scharakteryzować efekty i konsekwencje znanych procesów madonaldyzacji i disneizacji we współczesnej kulturze. W ostatniej części artykułu, odnosząc się do koncepcji Carla Cederstroma i Andre Spicera, skonstruowałam własne pojęcie „Fit-Konsumentów”i odniosłam je do podstawowych założeń coachingu i psychologii pozytywnej.
Rezultaty. Przedstawione przeze mnie przykłady wybranych zjawisk kulturowych oraz przywołane koncepcje, wskazują na pewną zewnętrzną obligatoryjność i konieczność dokonywania wyborów przez współczesnych konsumentów – wyborów wynikających z kapitalizmu, który w założeniach miał zapewnić poczucie indywidualności i wolności poszczególnym członkom społeczeństwa.
Wnioski. Dokonując interpretacji i analizy wybranych zjawisk kulturowych, chciałam pokazać, że udzielenie odpowiedzi na pytanie – czy współcześnie to człowiek kreuje kulturę czy kultura kształtuje człowieka – jest nie tylko niemożliwe, ale także niepotrzebne. Istotą działań badawczo-naukowych powinno być dążenie do tego, by osoby związane z tematyką kultury popularnej (pedagodzy, andragodzy, kulturoznawcy etc.) poprzez praktyczne działanie lub konstruowanie trafnych, teoretycznych pytań, wspomagali kreowanie umiejętności krytycznego interpretowania elementów kultury i nadawania znaczeń u obecnych i przyszłych nadawco-odbiorców.
