Brahmanical Patriarchy and Voices from Below: Ambedkar‘s Characterization of Women’s Emancipation
Authors: Senanayake Harsha , Trigunayat Samarth 
Published: July 2020

AbstractWestern feminism created a revolution on the international stage urging the world to look at things through the perspective of women who were historically suppressed because of their gender, yet in many instances, it failed to address the issue of women in the Indian subcontinent because of the existence of social hierarchies that are alien concepts to the western world. As a result, the impact of western feminist thinkers was limited to only the elites in the Indian subcontinent. The idea of social hierarchy is infamously unique to the South Asian context and hence, in the view of the authors, this evil has to be fought through homegrown approaches which have to address these double disadvantages that women suffer in this part of the world. While many have tried to characterize Ambedkar’s political and social philosophy into one of the ideological labels, his philosophy was essentially ‘a persistent attempt to think things through’. It becomes important here to understand what made Ambedkar different from others; what was his social condition and his status in a hierarchal Hindu Society. As a matter of his epistemology, his research and contribution did not merely stem from any particular compartmentalized consideration of politics or society, rather it encompassed the contemporary socio-political reality taking into consideration other intersectionalities like gender and caste. The paper argues for a system of convergence of casteism and sexism rather than an isolated approach to counter the gender inequalities. This convergence is important to be considered because most of the Indian feminist thinkers of our times are qualifying patriarchy with the term ‘Brahmanical’.
The role of exosome lipids in central nervous system diseases
Authors: Wang Ge , Wang Yong , Liu Ningyuan , Liu Mujun 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) diseases are common diseases that threaten human health. The CNS is highly enriched in lipids, which play important roles in maintaining normal physiological functions of the nervous system. Moreover, many CNS diseases are closely associated with abnormal lipid metabolism. Exosomes are a subtype of extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted from multivesicular bodies (MVBs) . Through novel forms of intercellular communication, exosomes secreted by brain cells can mediate inter-neuronal signaling and play important roles in the pathogenesis of CNS diseases. Lipids are essential components of exosomes, with cholesterol and sphingolipid as representative constituents of its bilayer membrane. In the CNS, lipids are closely related to the formation and function of exosomes. Their dysregulation causes abnormalities in exosomes, which may, in turn, lead to dysfunctions in inter-neuronal communication and promote diseases. Therefore, the role of lipids in the treatment of neurological diseases through exosomes has received increasing attention. The aim of this review is to discuss the relationship between lipids and exosomes and their roles in CNS diseases.
Authoritarianism, Prejudice, and Support for Welfare Chauvinism in the United States
Authors: Kehrberg Jason 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
This article examines the role of authoritarianism in shaping individual policy support for creating a waiting period before legal immigrants can access welfare programs. I use logistic regression models to analyse the opinions of non-Latino whites from the 1992 American National Election Study (ANES). I find that authoritarianism is related to a waiting period before immigrants can access welfare benefits, despite a significant number of non-authoritarians also preferring a waiting period. This effect is robust with the inclusion of several traditional predictors of welfare attitudes.
3D modelling for realistic training and learning
Authors: Bati Ayse Hilal 
Published: July 2020

Abstract

Objectives
Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and modelling techniques based on computer vision have shown significant progress in recent years. Patient-specific models, which are derived from the imaging data set and are anatomically consistent with each other, are important for the development of knowledge and skills. The purpose of this article is to share information about three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and modelling techniques and its importance in medical education.

Methods
As 3D printing technology develops and costs are lower, adaptation to the original model will increase, thus making models suitable for the anatomical structure and texture. 3D printing has emerged as an innovative way to help surgeons implement more complex procedures.

Results
Recent studies have shown that 3D modelling is a powerful tool for pre-operative planning, proofing, and decision-making. 3D models have excellent potential for alternative interventions and surgical training on both normal and pathological anatomy. 3D printing is an attractive, powerful and versatile technology.

Conclusions
Patient-specific models can improve performance and improve learning faster, while improving the knowledge, management and confidence of trainees, whatever their area of expertise. Physical interaction with models has proven to be the key to gaining the necessary motor skills for surgical intervention.
Comparison of different equations for estimation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) – cholesterol
Authors: Alpdemir Mehmet Fatih , Alpdemir Medine 
Published: July 2020

Abstract

Objectives
The aim of this study was to compare low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) estimations using various formulas with directly measured LDL-C (d-LDL-C) in the Turkish population.

Material and methods
A total of 1,478 participants who were aged between 18 and 80 were classified into five groups according to serum triglyseride (TG) concentration as follows: <100, 100–199, 200–299, 300–399, and 400–1000 mg/dL. Glucose (Glu), LDL-C, total cholesterol (TC), HDL-C, TG, and HbA1C were measured with Cobas 6000 c501. d-LDL-C concentrations were measured by a homogenous direct assay using reagents. We investigated the accuracy 10 equations that are Friedewald, De Cordova, Ahmadi, Anandaraja, Teerakanchana, Chen, Hattori, Vujovic, Puavillai, and Hatta for estimating LDL-C in this study.

Results
In group 1, Anandaraja formula correlated best with d-LDL-C (r=0.367), but this correlation is weakly. In group 2; Teerakanchana formula (r=0.931), in group 3; Friedewald and Teerakanchana formulas (r=0.935, r=0.961), in group 4; Teerakanchana formula (r=0.950) and in group 5, Anandaraja formula (r=0.792) correlated best with d-LDL-C.

Conclusions
In this study, although there was a strong correlation between d-LDL-C measurement and estimated LDL-C formulas, there was a negative bias between results of these formulas and the d- LDL-C.
The effect of diurnal variation on erythrocyte sedimentation rate
Authors: Yucel Muammer , Ihtiyar Alperen , Koseoglu Mehmet 
Published: July 2020

Abstract

Objectives
It has been known that some laboratory tests showed diurnal variation and were affected by fasting-satiety status. We aimed to examine erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) for both pre-analytical factors.

Methods
Blood samples from 12 volunteers were taken and studied with the Westergren method. Fasting blood samples taken at 9:00 am were accepted as basal. Samples were taken at 10:00, 11:00, 12:00 were compared with baseline to evaluate fasting-satiety status and samples taken at 12:00, 15:00, 18:00, and 24:00 to evaluate diurnal variation.

Results
ESR was found to be the lowest at 09:00 and 15:00 (Median=5.5 mm/h). The 10:00, 11:00, and 12:00 results for assessing fasting-satiety status on ESR were not different than the baseline (6.2, 6.0, and 7.8 mm/h, respectively). The rates at 18:00 and 24:00 were not found to be different than the baseline (5.7 and 6.6 mm/h).

Conclusions
We didn’t find that ESR had diurnal variation, and it wasn’t affected by fasting-satiety status. Although it is known that routine biochemistry tests should be performed from the blood sample taken in the morning in case of starvation, blood sampling can be done for ESR during the day if necessary.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Small copper-oxide cluster cations, namely, CuOAr+ and Cu2O2
+, are studied by mass spectrometry and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to investigate the oxidation state of copper atoms. The XAS in Cu L3-region revealed that the oxidation number of Cu is almost +2.1 and +2.3 for CuOAr+ and Cu2O2
+, respectively, which are consistent with the natural charges obtained by quantum chemical calculation. It was also revealed that the binding energy of Ar to CuO+ is unexpectedly high to form CuOAr+ dominantly as a result of a significant amount of charge transfer to the Ar atom.
Comparative Study on Bearing Capacity of Bottom Ash–Stabilized Soil Mixed with Natural and Synthetic Fibers
Authors: Prasannan Swetha , Kolathayar Sreevalsa , Sharma Anil Kumar 
Published: July 2020

AbstractThis article assesses the strength behavior of bottom ash (BA)–stabilized soil mixed with different fibers through a series of laboratory tests. Optimum BA and fiber percentage were obtained by small scale lab tests like compaction tests and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests. From compaction tests with varying proportions of BA (10, 20, 30, and 40 %), the optimum BA content was found to be 30 %. With this optimum BA content, UCS tests were conducted on soil-BA mix with different fibers (coir, areca, sisal, and polyvinyl alcohol) at various percentages (0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 %) to find the optimum fiber content. A set of model footing tests were done to check the credibility of using fibers as a strengthening material beneath footing to upgrade the engineering properties of soil to make a reasonable subsoil for the foundation. A total of six model footing tests were performed on raw soil, on soil with optimum BA content, and on BA–stabilized soil mixed with different fibers in their optimum percentage (1.5 %). The bearing capacity of unstabilized unreinforced soil was found to increase significantly with the inclusion of fibers.
Exploring the effects of position-related information on the perception of scenario-based passing opportunities
Authors: Steiner Silvan , Köstinger Christel 
Published: July 2020

When football players are preparing to pass the ball, they consider contextual information provided by the current game situation to identify passing opportunities and choose the one that appears most beneficial. In the search for contextual information indicating such opportunities, a recent study analyzing the relationships between the position-related characteristics of game situations and athletes’ passing behavior reports that athletes generally prioritize passing options based on their team members’ areal proximity, the openness of the passing lanes leading to team members, and how closely the team members are covered by the opponents. While the found relationships indicate the positional features’ relevance to the athletes’ passing behavior, the importance of single bits of positional information and their integration into subjectively perceived passing opportunities remain unknown. The aim of this study is to begin closing this gap and analyze how multiple athletes weigh and integrate position-related information within their subjective process of perceiving passing opportunities.
The study uses a 3x3x3 within-subject design. Twenty-one football players provided information about the perceived quality of passing opportunities within standardized game scenarios. The data were analyzed using an information integration theoretical approach combined with mixed linear modeling. The results reveal substantial interpersonal differences regarding the importance players attribute to specific positional information and how they integrate the positional information. Two recurring patterns of information integration were found. In most of the cases, the results indicate additive information integration. However, in some cases, the results indicate that players deviate from additive information integration when a single piece of positional information seemingly dominates the athletes’ perceptions. In the future, IIT approaches can be adopted to research designs using virtual reality, including other sets and ranges of contextual information, as well as other sports and sports situations in which the integration of information into subjective perceptions is of interest.

Optimization and validation of Eco-friendly RP-HPLC and univariate spectrophotometric methods for the simultaneous determination of Fluorometholone and Tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride
Authors: Essam Hebatallah M. , Saad Martin N. , Elzanfaly Eman S. , Amer Sawsan M. 
Published: July 2020

AbstractA sensitive RP-HPLC method is presented for the simultaneous quantification of Fluorometholone (FLM) and Tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride (THZ). The method has the advantages of being rapid, accurate, reproducible, ecologically acceptable and sensitive. The separation utilized C8 Xbridge® column and mobile phase mixture of Acetonitrile/phosphate buffer pH 3 ± 0.1 (70:30, v/v) with UV detection at 230 nm. Stepwise optimization and factors affecting separation are properly discussed. Different factors were optimized such as stationary phase, selection of organic solvent and its content, buffer pH and concentration, flow rate, elution type and detection wavelength. The studied drugs were efficiently separated in 3.4 min with high resolution. Also, two univariate spectrophotometric methods have been optimized for the quantification of the studied drugs. Method 1: dual wavelength for THZ and iso-absorptive point for FLM, Method 2: ratio difference (RD) for THZ and first derivative FLM utilizing methanol as a solvent. These methods are accurate, precise with minimal data manipulation. Greenness of the methods was estimated using eco-scale tool where the presented methods were found to be excellent green with eco-score of 83 for HPLC and 80 for spectrophotometry. The methods are validated in conformance with ICH guidelines, with acceptable accuracy, precision, and selectivity. The suggested methods can be employed for the economic analysis of THZ and FLM in their pure form and binary ophthalmic formulation, that can be employed by quality control laboratories.
Rehabilitation following anatomic total shoulder replacement for osteoarthritis
Authors: Blacknall James , Bidwai Amit Sharad 
Published: July 2020

Advances in anatomic total shoulder replacement (TSR) have seen this become an established surgical intervention for patients suffering from glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA). A growing evidence-base stresses good prosthesis survivorship, low complication rates, and reproducible improvements to patients’ quality of life and function. Despite these advances, the rehabilitation of patients undergoing anatomic TSR has received relatively little attention. This clinical commentary discusses a specific clinical method taken to manage patients undergoing anatomic TSR for glenohumeral OA and an intact rotator cuff. It outlines the evaluation-based rehabilitation approach developed between surgeons and physiotherapists at the Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom. It is hoped this commentary will generate further interest in this area and help drive advances in the outcomes and rehabilitation of patients undergoing TSR.

Published: July 2020

Nessa nota técnica analisamos as curvas acumuladas de mortes atribuídas à Covid-19 nas 27 capitais brasileiras até o dia 19 de julho de 2020. Empregamos três modelos matemáticos de crescimento para avaliar em que fase da epidemia encontra-se cada uma dessas cidades. Esses modelos foram implementados no aplicativo Modinterv Covid-19, desenvolvido pelas Universidades Federais do Paraná, Pernambuco e Sergipe, o qual pode ser acessado através da página http://fisica.ufpr.br/modinterv. A análise revela que apenas Recife e Belém aparentam ter atingido a fase de saturação da epidemia, quando a curva acumulada de morte começa a se aproximar do platô. Entre as demais capitais, oito ainda estão na fase inicial de crescimento rápido e dezessete estão na fase intermediária, quando a curva epidêmica já passou pelo ponto de inflexão mas ainda está relativamente distante do platô.
Определение границ городских агломераций России: создание модели и результаты
Authors: Райсих Александр Эдуардович 
Published: July 2020

Статья является продолжением статьи (Райсих 2020), где была сформулирована проблема определения границ городских агломераций или делимитации городских агломераций, исходя из мирового опыта. При этом было подчеркнуто, что методика оценки границ городских агломераций должна быть основана, с одной стороны, на доступных для всех стран исходных данных, а с другой – на накопленном мировом опыте с обеспечением приемлемого приближения ко многим уже применяемым моделям делимитации.
Целью настоящей статьи является выработка и апробация модели делимитации городских агломераций, основанной на международном и отечественном опыте и подходящей для условий России и иных стран мира.
На основании доступных данных были проанализированы результаты применения различных методик делимитации городских агломераций, выявлены их преимущества и недостатки. В итоге была предложена авторская модель делимитации городских агломераций. Сделанная на ее основании оценка состава и границ городских агломераций России показала достаточно высокую степень приближения к уже существующим моделям делимитации городских агломераций (которые, как правило, построены на использовании исходных данных, не оцениваемых статистическими органами большинства стран мира, включая Россию).
Producción científica y evolución conceptual del merchandising durante las últimas seis décadas. Un estudio bibliométrico
Authors: Muñoz Leiva Francisco , Rodríguez López Mª. Eugenia , Liébana Cabanillas Francisco 
Published: July 2020

En este artículo aparecen los resultados de un análisis bibliométrico centrado en la comunidad académica y profesional interesada por el estudio del merchandising de autoservicio (self-service merchandising) o marketing en el punto de venta. El objetivo es identificar los temas pasados y actuales, predecir las tendencias emergentes y proporcionar una perspectiva longitudinal sobre la investigación que ha tenido lugar entre 1960 y 2019, a partir de unos 700 artículos extraídos de la base bibliográfica Scopus. Por tanto, este enfoque proporciona el análisis más exhaustivo de la historia del merchandising en las últimas seis décadas.
Algunos de los hallazgos muestran que la década pasada se caracterizó por el estudio de simuladores como CAD, y de la gestión de la cadena de suministro aplicado al sector textil. Si bien, el merchandising visual no es algo nuevo, se trata una temática emergente en este campo de investigación que irá integrando el papel del merchandising virtual, la atmósfera del establecimiento y la aplicación de técnicas de escaparatismo. En esta década, la publicidad aparece como un tema general o transversales a otras temáticas. Y el futuro pasará por la aplicación de la realidad virtual y la realidad aumentada al caso del e-merchandising.
Las conclusiones y futuras líneas de investigación contribuyen a avanzar en el conocimiento y la comprensión de la literatura académica sobre el merchandising o el marketing en el punto de venta.
Integrated Movement Therapy™: Yoga-Based Therapy as a Viable and Effective Intervention for Autism Spectrum and Related Disorders
Authors: Kenny Molly 
Published: July 2020

Integrated Movement Therapy™ is an individual and group therapy approach that combines speech-language pathology, behavioral and mental health counseling,and Yoga. It is taught by master-degreed therapists who are also certified Yoga instructors. Although this approach has been successfully implemented with children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD), Learning Disabilities, Pervasive Developmental Delay, Sensory Integration Dysfunction, Dyspraxia,and other specific motor-based disorders, it has had especially consistent and remarkable results with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Integrated Movement Therapy has six core principles:structure and continuity, social interaction, language stimulation, self-calming, physical stimulation, and direct self-esteem building.
The following article will describe Autism Spectrum Disorders in depth and will show how each of the six core principles of Integrated Movement Therapy specifically addresses the characteristics associated with Autism. It will also note specific, documented improvements in all areas addressed based on qualitative ratings scales and parent feedback.
