Published: November 2019

Background Protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUTs) are poorly cleared by peritoneal dialysis (PD). This study aimed to enhance PBUT removal in PD by adding a binder to the peritoneal dialysate and to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of liposome-supported PD (LSPD) to increase the removal of PBUTs compared with albumin PD. Methods Removal of p-cresyl sulfate (PCS), indoxyl sulfate (IS), and indole-3-acetic acid (3-IAA) was first evaluated in an in vitro PD model using artificial plasma preloaded with test solutes. Male Sprague-Dawley rats ( n = 24) were then subjected to 5/6 nephrectomy and fed for 16 weeks to establish end-stage renal failure, after which they were treated with either conventional glucose-based PD, albumin-based PD, or liposome-based PD. Removal of PBUTs and small water-soluble solutes was determined during a 6-hour PD dwell. Results In vitro experiments showed that adding albumin as a toxin binder to the dialysate markedly increased the removal of PCS, IS, and 3-IAA compared with the control. The uptake capacity of liposomes was comparable with that of albumin for PCS and 3-IAA, though slightly inferior for IS. In vivo PD in uremic rats demonstrated that LSPD resulted in higher intraperitoneal concentrations and more total mass removal for PBUTs than the conventional glucose-based PD, which was comparable with albumin PD. Conclusions Supplementing conventional glucose-based PD solutions with a binder could efficiently increase the removal of PBUTs. This preliminary study suggested that LSPD may be a promising alternative to albumin PD for increasing PBUT removal in the development of next-generation PD solutions for PD patients.
Searching for the Magnetized Tidal Dwarf Galaxies in Hickson Compact Groups: HCG 26, 91, and 96
Authors: Nikiel-Wroczyński Błażej 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
In this work, archive 1.4 and 4.86 GHz radio continuum data from the Very Large Array were re-reduced and, together with the 1.4 GHz maps from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey, investigated for the presence of detectable, nonthermal continuum radio emission that could be associated with the tidal dwarf galaxy (TDG) candidates in HCG 26, 91, and 96. Radio emission highly coincident with the optical and H
α
emission maxima of the TDG candidate HCG 91i (estimated physical separation of less than 150 pc) was revealed. Should this emission be intrinsic to this object, it would imply the presence of a magnetic field as strong as 11–16 μG—comparable to that found in the most radio-luminous, star-forming dwarf galaxies of non-tidal origin. However, the star formation rate derived for this object using the radio flux is about two orders of magnitude higher than the one estimated from the H
α
data. Analysis of the auxiliary radio, ultraviolet, and infrared data suggests that either the radio emission originates in a background object with an aged synchrotron spectrum (possibly a GHz-peaked source), or the

estimate is lower due to the fact that it traces the most recent star formation, while most of the detected radio emission originated when what is known as HCG 91i was still a part of its parent galaxy. The latter scenario is supported by a very large stellar mass derived from 3.6 to 4.5 μm data, implying a high star formation rate in the past.

Abstract
With the aim of characterizing the dynamical processes involved in the formation of young protostars, we present high-angular-resolution ALMA dust polarization observations of the Class 0 protostellar cores Serpens SMM1, Emb 8(N), and Emb 8. With spatial resolutions ranging from 150 to 40 au at 870 μm, we find unexpectedly high values of the polarization fraction along the outflow cavity walls in Serpens Emb 8(N). We use 3 mm and 1 mm molecular tracers to investigate outflow and dense-gas properties and their correlation with the polarization. These observations allow us to investigate the physical processes involved in the radiative alignment torques (RATs) acting on dust grains along the outflow cavity walls, which experience irradiation from accretion processes and outflow shocks. The inner core of SMM1-a presents a polarization pattern with a poloidal magnetic field at the bases of the two lobes of the bipolar outflow. To the south of SMM1-a we see two polarized filaments, one of which seems to trace the redshifted outflow cavity wall. The other may be an accretion streamer of material infalling onto the central protostar. We propose that the polarized emission we see at millimeter wavelengths along the irradiated cavity walls can be reconciled with the expectations of RAT theory if the aligned grains present at <500 au scales in Class 0 envelopes have grown larger than the 0.1 μm size of dust grains in the interstellar medium. Our observations allow us to constrain the magnetic field morphologies of star-forming sources within the central cores, along the outflow cavity walls, and in possible accretion streamers.
Possible Contribution of Magnetized White Dwarf Binaries to Type Ia Supernova Populations
Authors: Ablimit Iminhaji , Maeda Keiichi 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The evolution of an accreting white dwarf (WD) with a strong magnetic field toward a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) may differ from the classical single-degenerate (SD) channel. In this paper, we perform binary population synthesis simulations for the SD channel with a main-sequence (MS) companion, including the strongly magnetized WD accretion. Under a reasonable assumption that the fraction of such systems is ∼15%, the resulting delay-time distribution roughly follows the t
−1 power-law distribution. Within the (WD/MS) SD channel, the contribution from the highly magnetized WD is estimated to be comparable to that from the classical, non-magnetized WD channel. The contribution of the SD channel toward SNe Ia can be at least ∼30% among the whole SN Ia population. We suggest that the SNe Ia resulting from the highly magnetized WD systems would not share the observational properties expected for the classical SD channel; for every (potentially peculiar) SN observationally associated with the SD channel, we expect a comparable number of the “hidden” SD population to be in the normal class.

Que se passe-t-il lorsqu’un scaphandrier travaux publics, formé à travailler dans l’eau, doit ponctuellement intervenir sous terre et se retrouve ainsi à travailler en milieu étranger doté d’un équipement pourtant familier ? À partir d’une approche sensorielle qui tient compte des relations entre sujet, objets matériels et environnement, l’enquête explore les limites socialement acceptables de l’hostilité en s’appuyant sur cette inexpérience de la terre et sur l’émergence d’un « sens du souterrain ».
La peur du corps dans les textes sur le théâtre des zanni aux XVI e et XVII e siècles
Authors: Decroisette Françoise 
Published: November 2019

Au milieu du XVI e siècle apparaît en Italie une dramaturgie centrée non sur le texte mais sur les corps agissants en scène, celle dite ‘de l’acteur’, appelée plus tard Commedia dell’arte . Elle bouleverse la pratique théâtrale en profondeur, suscitant l’enthousiasme ou la peur. On l’aborde ici du point de vue de la perception des corps par les spectateurs, en s’appuyant sur les traces iconographiques et littéraires qui constituent la mémoire individuelle ou collective, directe ou indirecte, de cette nouvelle pratique scénique.
« Sur la superficie de notre cœur » : de la condamnation du théâtre à une science théâtrale de l’homme (1694-1719)
Authors: Connors Logan J. 
Published: November 2019

Cet article interroge l’expérience théâtrale vécue par le spectateur, telle qu’elle est présentée dans plusieurs discours contre le théâtre. Il examine ensuite le changement radical opéré sur cette question par Jean-Baptiste Dubos, théoricien de l’art et diplomate sous trois régimes politiques différents. La conclusion s’efforce de rattacher la question « comment fonctionnent les émotions théâtrales ? » à la construction stratégique, sociale et politique des émotions.
La question d’autrui à l’épreuve de la philosophie et du soin. Qui est autrui ? Qui suis-je pour autrui ? Quelle rencontre possible ?
Authors: Svandra Philippe 
Published: November 2019

Le concept d’autrui, central en philosophie, intéresse au plus haut point le soin. Forme active de souci pour autrui, la relation soignante représente une forme particulière de rencontre avec l’autre dans son irréductible singularité. Que peut alors nous dire la philosophie sur cette question, et surtout quel éclairage peut-on en tirer pour la pratique soignante au quotidien ? Qui est autrui ? Qui suis-je pour autrui ? Quelle rencontre possible ? Ces trois questions constitueront donc le fil conducteur de cet article

Introduction : l’évocation de plus en plus fréquente de la complexité par différents acteurs de santé interroge sur la mesure de ce construit. Le COMID fournit une définition multidimensionnelle et opérationnelle de la complexité et aide les infirmières à domicile au repérage et à l’analyse des situations complexes. Contexte : une étude d’acceptabilité a montré un intérêt marqué pour le COMID de la part des infirmières, cependant ses propriétés psychométriques n’ont pas encore été examinées. Objectif : cet article présente deux études testant la fidélité de l’échelle. Méthode : la première étude porte sur 5401 COMID complétés par des infirmières à domicile dans leur pratique usuelle. La consistance interne a été estimée à l’aide d’un alpha de Cronbach. La seconde étude porte sur 38 COMID, complétés par des infirmières à domicile (juges 1) et des infirmières spécialisées (juges 2). L’accord inter-juges a été examiné par un coefficient de corrélation intra-classe (CCI). Résultats : le COMID possède une consistance interne acceptable α=0.797 et un accord inter-juges excellent CCI=0.839. Discussion : les propriétés métrologiques du COMID mériteront d’être complétées par une analyse de sa validité pour le repérage de la complexité dans les soins infirmiers à domicile. Conclusion : le COMID possède une bonne précision de mesure.
Tissue-Resident Memory T Cells in Mice and Humans: Towards a Quantitative Ecology
Authors: Morris Sinead E. , Farber Donna L. , Yates Andrew J. 
Published: November 2019

AbstractIn recent years, tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) have emerged as essential components of immunological memory. Following antigenic challenge, TRM remain in nonlymphoid tissues and defend against re-exposure. Although accumulating evidence suggests important roles for TRM in mediating protective immunity, fundamental aspects of the population biology of TRM remain poorly understood. In this article, we discuss how results from different systems shed light on the ecological dynamics of TRM in mice and humans. We highlight the importance of dissecting processes contributing to TRM maintenance, and how these might vary across phenotypically and spatially heterogeneous subsets. We also discuss how the diversity of TRM communities within specific tissues may evolve under competition and in response to antigenic perturbation. Throughout, we illustrate how mathematical models can clarify inferences obtained from experimental data and help elucidate the homeostatic mechanisms underpinning the ecology of TRM populations.
The influence of Biodanza and School of Empathy verbal – respectful communication on the ability to express emotions and needs: a pilot study among adults in Indonesia
Authors: Stueck Marcus , Kaloeti Dian , Villegas Alejandra , Utami Dian 
Published: November 2019

BackgroundCultural aspects play a dominant role in a certain country related to emotional expressions, particularly in Indo-nesia. Biodanza and School of Empathy have been developing and are recognized as an alternative psycho-logical intervention in fostering the ability to express feelings, generate positive emotions and alleviate negative one. The aim of this study is to explore the implementation of Biodanza (nonverbal part) and School of Empa-thy (SoE) verbal part in expressing emotions and needs among adults in Indonesia.Participants and procedureThis study in Indonesia consisted of 2 groups. Group 1 was conducted through Biodanza with 17 participants and group 2 was the SoE verbal part with 17 participants (N = 34). All participants in both studies were collected randomly through online advertisements. We administered both closed and open-ended questionnaires to as-certain the current feeling as well as the ability to express emotions and needs before and after the interven-tions in groups 1 and 2.ResultsWe found different themes between group 1 and group 2. Participants who received the Biodanza showed a significantly increasing score of ability to express emotions, while the ability to express needs is not increased significantly. Furthermore, SoE indicated no significant difference in their ability to express their emotions and needs between the pre-test and post-test score.ConclusionsFor the samples of the Indonesian population in implementing Biodanza and SoE verbal part, the cultural as-pect plays a very significant role in discussing these findings. Overall, the findings of this study suggest that Biodanza has the potential to be a practical approach to assisting individuals in deriving positive benefits for their emotional well-being. The evaluation of SoE verbal part should be made related to the material, due to cultural barrier findings. Future research is expected to fuse various measurements that were not included in this study.

Published: November 2019

PurposeVery small intracranial aneurysms (VSIAs) may cause many neurological complications and even death. Thanks to technological progress and higher quality of non-invasive neuroimaging methods, these pathologies can be investigated sooner and treated earlier. Due to the controversy surrounding invasive treatment of these pathologies, the aim of the study was to analyse methods of treatment, their outcome, and complications in a group of patients with VSIAs.Material and methodsOut of 444 cases of intracranial aneurysms treated in our centre, 65 aneurysms met the radiological criteria of VSIAs. The parameters – width and length of the aneurysm’s neck and width, length, and height of the aneurysm’s dome – were measured. The analysed parameters were as follows: symptoms upon admission and after treatment, days in hospital, and intraoperative complications. Clinical and radiological intensity of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) was evaluated by using the Hunt-Hess and Fisher scales. The degree of embolisation of the aneurysm after the procedure was assessed using the Montreal Scale. Clinical outcome was assessed by Glasgow Outcome Scale.Results50.77% of VSIAs were treated with endovascular procedures and 49.23% with neurosurgical clipping. SAH was presented in 38.46% of patients with VSIAs. Intraoperative complications were presented in 16.92% of patients with VSIAs, and the most common complication was ischaemic stroke. Stents were used in 51.52% of VSIAs. In 69.70% of embolisation procedures at VSIAs complete obliteration was achieved. The average result in the Montreal Scale was 1.31 (SD = 0.66).ConclusionVSIAs can be treated as effectively and safely as larger aneurysms, by both endovascular and surgical me­thods.

Published: November 2019

PurposeQuadriceps fat pad is located posterior to the quadriceps tendon. Increased signal intensity of this fat pad is seen on routine knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations, but the exact mechanism and related pathologies are not clear. In this study we aimed to evaluate the relationship between MRI signal intensity and morphological features of quadriceps fat pad, as well as various pathologies of the patellofemoral joint.Material and methodsSixty-one knees with quadriceps fat pad oedema out of 457 knee MRI examinations were included. Quadriceps fat pad signal intensity, dimensions, posterior indentation, and various parameters related to patellofemoral joint such as trochlear facet asymmetry, trochlear depth and sulcus angle, and the Insall-Salvati ratio were evaluated.ResultsThere was no statistically significant correlation between quadriceps fat pad oedema intensity and its dimensions, but it was significant when compared to posterior indentation. There was no correlation between fat pad oedema and each of the pathologies. However, there was a significant correlation between the presence of fat pad oedema and the presence of at least one of the pathologies related to patellofemoral joint.ConclusionsQuadriceps fat pad oedema detected in MRI examinations should warn the radiologist against the presence of various pathologies related to the patellofemoral joint.
Melt at grounding line controls observed and future retreat of Smith, Pope, and Kohler glaciers
Authors: Lilien David A. , Joughin Ian , Smith Benjamin , Gourmelen Noel 
Published: November 2019

Abstract. Smith, Pope, and Kohler glaciers and the corresponding Crosson and Dotson
ice shelves have undergone speedup, thinning, and rapid grounding-line
retreat in recent years, leaving them in a state likely conducive to future
retreat. We conducted a suite of numerical model simulations of these
glaciers and compared the results to observations to determine the processes
controlling their recent evolution. The model simulations indicate that the
state of these glaciers in the 1990s was not inherently unstable, i.e., that
small perturbations to the grounding line would not necessarily have caused
the large retreat that has been observed. Instead, sustained, elevated melt
at the grounding line was needed to cause the observed retreat. Weakening of
the margins of Crosson Ice Shelf may have hastened the onset of
grounding-line retreat but is unlikely to have initiated these rapid changes
without an accompanying increase in melt. In the simulations that most
closely match the observed thinning, speedup, and retreat, modeled
grounding-line retreat and ice loss continue unabated throughout the
21st century, and subsequent retreat along Smith Glacier's trough
appears likely. Given the rapid progression of grounding-line retreat in the
model simulations, thinning associated with the retreat of Smith Glacier may
reach the ice divide and undermine a portion of the Thwaites catchment as
quickly as changes initiated at the Thwaites terminus.

Published: November 2019

As mudanças climáticas têm proporcionado um agravamento da gestão dos recursos hídricos em regiões semiáridas. As disputas pelos diversos usos da água ocasionam conflitos entre os usuários e as elevadas taxas de evaporação, presentes nessas regiões, contribuem de forma significativa para o agravamento das crises hídricas. A redução das taxas de evaporação em reservatórios nessas regiões surge como mais uma forma de aumentar a oferta de água, mediante a aplicação de diferentes técnicas, utilizando-se diferentes materiais, cada qual adequado ao caso específico. O estudo objetiva analisar a redução de evaporação de água no reservatório de São Gonçalo, PB no semiárido nordestino a partir da utilização de várias técnicas sugeridas na literatura. Foram realizadas simulações com quatro diferentes técnicas de redução da evaporação no reservatório São Gonçalo, situado na região semiárida do Estado da Paraíba, Brasil. Os resultados demonstraram que o uso de bolas de polietileno apresentou o melhor índice de redução da evaporação, entretanto sua utilização é recomendável quando o reservatório apresentar baixos níveis do volume de água, devido ao seu maior custo de implementação e de manutenção. A técnica de quebra vento apresentou um índice satisfatório de redução da evaporação sendo recomendada para a região em estudo devido ao seu baixo custo de implementação e de manutenção, não ocasionando impactos ao corpo hídrico. No entanto, tornam-se necessários a realização de estudos mais aprofundados, buscando identificar possíveis impactos ambientais não só no corpo hídrico, mas na região no entorno do reservatório.
Predictors and Clinical Correlates of Gestational Age at Booking: A Multicenter Survey
Authors: Edet Ekpenyong, Christopher 
Published: November 2019

Background: Although several factors are known to influence the gestational age at booking, current knowledge indicates that the distribution of these factors could vary from one country to the other, and even within countries, the variation could exist between states. This study aimed to assess the prevalence, predictors and clinical correlates of gestational age at booking in southern Nigeria.
Materials and Methods: One hundred and fifty pregnant women who visited the study centres within the study period were evaluated for socio-demographic, clinical and biochemical characteristics associated with early and late ANC initiation using standard instruments and procedures.
Results: Fifty-six per cent (56%) of the pregnant women initiated ANC within the first thirteen weeks of gestation according to the WHO recommendation. Fewer numbers of previous pregnancies and births were significantly associated with early ANC initiation. Being of older age, (OR=1.52, C.I=1.318-1.956), fewer number of previous pregnancies (OR=2.2. C.I=1.923-2.511), low parity (OR=2.05, C.I=1.884-2.264), public servant (OR=1.52, C.I=1.316-1.753), higher educational attainment (OR=2.21, C.I=1.043-3.498) significantly increased the likelihood of early ANC initiation. Also, pregnant women who booked early had a lower incidence of anaemia, hypertension and gestational diabetes and better biochemical endpoints.
Conclusion: Some demographic variables and fewer numbers of pregnancies and births were significantly associated with a higher likelihood of early ANC initiation and vice versa. These factors should be considered in designing interventions to improve gestational age at booking among pregnant women in Nigeria and globally.
