Meanings of literacy in the intersection of religious and secular practices: examining local and global changes in a Brazilian bairro
Authors: Castanheira Maria Lúcia , Street Brian V. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This article contrasts data from two ethnographic studies carried out at different points in time with working class families in Trombetas, a bairro on the outskirts of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The first study was conducted from 1988 to 1991, and the second in 2009. We develop two main themes: (1) the changing meanings of literacy in relation to the shift from Catholicism to Neo-Pentecostalism; and (2) the growing use of new technologies and multimodal means of communication in association with religious secular and commercial practices. For the first theme, we employ the notion of indexicality as a way of analyzing the changes taking place in this context. We point to the significant presence of Evangelical churches in Trombetas in 2009, and to the specific ways in which the reading and writing practices of some members of two families were bound up with religious beliefs and identities. In addressing the second theme, we draw attention to the meanings associated with the new technologies and the multimodal resources drawn upon by different family members in 2009. The article foregrounds the advantages that accrue from adopting a Literacy Studies perspective – one that focuses on the ways in which research participants, of different generations, actively pursue their own purposes (religious, secular or commercial), drawing on the modes of communication available to them and one that reveals the diversity and complexity of actual practices on the ground in local settings such as that of Trombetas.
Performance Analysis of 20 Gbit/s–40 GHz MDM-Ro-FSO Link Incorporating DPSK Modulation Scheme
Authors: Grover Amit , Sheetal Anu 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The congestion in the radio frequency spectrum has posed a serious challenge for mobile service providers. Radio-over-free space optics (Ro-FSO) technology has been considered as a front runner to deal with the problem of spectrum congestion and to provide future generation high-capacity wireless networks. This work proposes designing and numerical analysis of differential phase shift keying (DPSK) modulation-based 20 Gbit/s–40 GHz hybrid mode division multiplexing-radio-over-free space optics (MDM-Ro-FSO) link up to 40 km transmission range under clear weather. Quality Factor (Q Factor), log of bit error rate (BER), signal to noise ratio (SNR), and received power are the key metrics used to probe the proposed system performance. The impact of increasing divergence angle and different fog weather conditions on the proposed system performance is also numerically evaluated. Further, the decomposition analysis of different spatial modes at the receiving unit is carried out in this work.
On Social Knowledge and Its Empirical Investigation in Contemporary Organisations
Authors: Liubertė Irina 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The focus of knowledge management theories on codification and quantification and aspirations to manage knowledge in a similar manner to managing physical resources did not create a stable ground for knowledge management practices in organisations as was expected. Consequently, the theories of social knowledge work take the place of the theories of knowledge management and instead of simplifying they promise to address the issues of complexity. This paper presents a conceptual model of social knowledge – its observable characteristics and associated organisational processes – and aims to help in adopting and contextualising the new theories of knowledge work in organisational research and practice.
Cryoneurolysis for cervicogenic headache – a double blinded randomized controlled study
Authors: Kvarstein Gunnvald , Högström Henrik , Allen Sara Maria , Rosland Jan Henrik 
Published: November 2019

Abstract

Background and aims
Cervicogenic headache (CEH) is a debilitating condition and analgesics have limited effect. Percutaneous cryoneurolysis is thus still in use although the clinical evidence is lacking. We present a randomized, controlled study to assess the clinical efficacy of cryoneurolysis compared with a corticosteroid combined with a local anaesthetic.

Methods
In a university-based outpatient pain clinic we performed a randomized, double blinded, comparative study with an 18-week follow-up. After positive diagnostic test blocks 52 eligible patients were randomly allocated in a ratio of 3:2, 31 participants to occipital cryoneurolysis and 21 participants to injections of 1 mL methylprednisolone 40 mg/mL (Depo-Medrol®) combined with 1 mL bupivacaine 5 mg/mL.

Results
We observed a significant pain reduction of more than 50% in both treatment groups, slightly improved neck function and reduced number of opioid consumers. After 6–7-weeks, however, pain intensity increased gradually, but did not reach baseline within 18 weeks. Although cryoneurolysis provided a more prolonged effect, the group differences did not reach statistical significance. Health related quality of life and psychological distress improved minimally. A large number reported minor and transient side effects, but we found no significant group differences. After 18 weeks, 29% rated the headache as much improved, and 12 (24%) somewhat improved, but a large proportion (78%) reported need for further intervention/treatment.

Conclusions
Cryoneurolysis provided substantial, but temporary pain relief, and the effect was not significantly different from injections of a corticosteroid combined with a local anaesthetic. Participants were selected by a single test block, and the neurolytic procedure was guided by anatomical landmarks and nerve stimulation. A stricter patient selection and an ultrasound-guided technique might have improved the results. Cryoneurolysis provides temporary pain relief not significantly superior to corticosteroid injection, and the results question the value of occipital cryoneurolysis for a chronic pain condition like CEH.

Implications
Occipital cryoneurolysis may be considered when non-invasive treatments appear insufficient, but only for patients who have responded substantially to test blocks. A risk of local scar and neuroma formation by repeated cryoneurolysis, leading to neuropathic pain has been discussed by other researchers.

Summary
Among the various descriptions of „Sarmatia“ which have been printed in the 16th century, the works of Maciej z Miechowa, Marcin Kromer and Alessandro Guagnini possessed the largest distribution: Published between 1517 and 1578, their works – containing information about the geography, history and population of the eastern part of the European continent – were reprinted and translated several times at several places until the middle of the 17th century. With a focus on paratexts and metatextual comments, the present article considers the entangled history of their editions in the 16th and 17th century and deduces receptions of these texts.
Reformation und gemeine Sprache bei den Ruthenen – Vasil’ Tjapinskis Vernakularisierung der heiligen Schrift
Authors: Stern Dieter 
Published: November 2019

SummaryDeparting from received notions about Vasil’ Tjapinski as an early representative of Belarusian national enlightenment, who in translating parts of the gospel into Ruthenian endeavoured to turn over the established diglossic linguistic order in favor of the vernacular language of the people, this article is meant to principally reassess his cultural role and significance. By subjecting the foreword to his gospel edition to a close reading and aligning our reinterpretation of this key document with the actual make-up and design of his text-critical synoptic edition of the gospel texts, it is hoped to place Tjapinski in a more adequate manner than heretofore within the broader framework of cultural change brought about by the vivid dynamics of innovative protestant religious thought against the backdrop of orthodox traditionalism. We argue that Tjapinski, being socially rather conservative, aimed at the expansion of active bible interpretation beyond the narrow sphere of priests and professional theologians within his own social class of minor gentry (szlachta) through adopting methods of critical philology as a highly formalized and therefore reliable truth-finding device. We argue further that, in an effort to win over primarily adherents of orthodoxy, Tjapinski rather than suggesting to have Church Slavonic replaced by the Ruthenian vernacular went out of his way to reestablish Church Slavonic as the true language of the Ruthenian nation (i. e. the Ruthenianszlachta) by arguing for the authoritativeness and reliability of the original Cyrillomethodian gospel translation, which would put the Church Slavonic gospel translation on a par with its Greek source text. His synoptic gospel edition should be appreciated as an effort at making the Church Slavonic gospel accessible through the medium of a vernacular Ruthenian translation, which accordingly ought to be seen as a gloss on the Church Slavonic original rather than as an independent text in its own right.
Zur Deutung der Interferenzen langsamer Elektronen

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Für die von Davisson und Germer 1 mitgeteilten Anomalien der Braggschen Reflexion langsamer Elektronen am Nickel-Einkristall war nach einer unvollständigen Theorie von Morse 2 anzunehmen-, daß sie als dynamische Beugungswirkung mehrerer verkoppelter Strahlen zu deuten seien. Da die zugrunde liegenden Vielstrahlprobleme eine vollständige Durchrechnung auf Grund der dynamischen Beugungstheorie nicht er-lauben, so wird wenigstens gezeigt, daß die Reflexe gut in demjenigen Bereich liegen, in welchem sie nach einer genäherten Abschätzung zu erwarten sind. Am (444)-Reflex wird berechnet, daß die dynamische Kopplung mit (335) den theoretisch zu erwartenden Charakter hat.
Strukturen und Governance betrieblicher Sozialpolitik in Deutschland
Authors: Schneiders Katrin , Höffling Stephanie 
Published: November 2019

AbstractIn den letzten Jahren ist in Deutschland eine Zunahme betrieblicher Sozialleistungen erkennbar. Neben der betrieblichen Alterssicherung werden u.a. soziale Dienstleistungen angeboten, die eine Erwerbstätigkeit bei Care Verpflichtungen ermöglichen. Der Aufsatz geht der Frage nach, ob und inwiefern sich durch das Engagement der Unternehmen das wohlfahrtsstaatliche Regime verändert und welche Auswirkungen auf vulnerable Gruppen erkennbar sind. Hierfür werden die Akteurkonstellationen dargestellt und anhand einer Fallstudie vertiefend untersucht. Als Ergebnis bleibt festzuhalten, dass betriebliche Sozialpolitik dazu führen kann, dass sich soziale Ungleich-heiten zwischen Arbeitsmarkt-Insidern und -Outsidern verschärfen, insbe-sondere wenn staatliche Leistungen auf die betriebliche Ebene verlagert werden. Davon sind nicht nur die Arbeitsmarkt-Outsider selbst, sondern auch deren Kinder betroffen. Die Ausweitung betrieblicher Sozialpolitik trägt insofern zur Erosion des wohlfahrtskorporatistischen Systems bei.
Data Mining Techniques for the Prediction of Bohme Surface Abrasion Rates from Rock Properties
Authors: Bayram Fatih 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Abrasion refers to the wearing down of rock surfaces due to abrasive grains. Abrasion resistance refers to the ability of rocks to withstand wear. Abrasion resistance is used to determine the resistance of building materials produced for flooring, cladding, and pavements and to demonstrate suitability for higher movement areas. While it is, therefore, very necessary to determine the abrasion rate of building materials prior to construction, it is, however, highly demanding and time consuming to determine abrasion rates. Thus, the aim of this study is to use some rock properties to determine abrasion rates. The study samples, consisting of 32 different types of rocks (sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous) collected from different regions in Turkey, were subjected to some physical and mechanical tests, namely the following: unit volume weight (UVW), apparent porosity (AP), modulus of elasticity (E), uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), tensile strength (TS), Shore hardness (SH), and point load strength (PL) and Bohme abrasion tests. To ascertain the abrasion rate from some physical and mechanical properties of rocks, the results of these tests were analyzed using data mining (DM) techniques. The results showed that there are high correlation coefficients between abrasion rate and the aforementioned rock properties with the support vector machines (SVM) and random forests (RF) models obtained as R = 0.882 and 0.881, respectively. This work has shown that the rock Bohme abrasion rate can be predicted from some of its physical and mechanical properties with significant level of confidence.

OBJECTIVES:We examined the trends in the rate of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) hospitalizations and the associated resource use among children in the United States from 2006 through 2014.METHODS:Pediatric hospitalizations with HSP were identified by using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, code 287.0 from the National Inpatient Sample. HSP hospitalization rate was calculated by using the US population as the denominator. Resource use was determined by length of stay (LOS) and hospital cost. We used linear regression for trend analysis.RESULTS:A total of 16 865 HSP hospitalizations were identified, and the HSP hospitalization rate varied by age, sex, and race. The overall HSP hospitalization rate was 2.4 per 100 000 children, and there was no trend during the study period. LOS remained stable at 2.8 days, but inflation-adjusted hospital cost increased from $2802.20 in 2006 to $3254.70 in 2014 (P &lt; .001).CONCLUSIONS:HSP hospitalization rate in the United States remained stable from 2006 to 2014. Despite no increase in LOS, inflation-adjusted hospital cost increased. Further studies are needed to identify the drivers of increased hospitalization cost and to develop cost-effective management strategies.
HEAVY METALS IN MILK INFANT FORMULAS
Authors: Kuznetsova I. , Krusir G. , Garkovich O. , Kovalenko I. 
Published: November 2019

Baby food can contain harmful components that are very dangerous to little consumers. One of the most common harmful factors is heavy metals, in particular lead. It is known that introducing one extra microelement into the body changes not only the concentration of this element, but also the concentration of other elements. Disturbing the physiological balance of microelements leads to changes in complex enzymatic processes, which in turn violates the structure of tissue cells of individual organs. Studies by Russian scientists (T. Suldina and others) have determined, in milk for newborns, the maximum levels of lead (0.02 mg/kg), of cadmium (0.02 mg/kg), of arsenic (0.05 mg/kg). While studying certain samples of baby food, the method for determining the content of lead and other heavy metals was improved. Depending on the lead concentration, characteristic lines of both the ultraviolet and the visible spectral regions can be used. Monitoring heavy metals in infant milk has shown that lead, copper, and zinc are the main contaminants of the product. The concentration of toxic agents in baby milk depends on the type of raw materials and on the environmental conditions of their manufacture. To detect lead in products quickly and accurately, a method was used based on the emission spectral analysis. To this end, spectrographs ISP-28 and ISP-30 widely employed in industry and laboratory studies were taken, but the detection limits were lowered compared to those in the methods that had been used previously. Besides, the field-proven method for determining lead is applicable to detecting zinc and copper, too. An excess of lead by 0.08 mg/kg, copper by 0.07 mg/kg, zinc by 0.45 mg/kg was observed in the baby milk “Malyatko Premium 2.” In the milk “Bellakt 2,” the excessive amount of copper was 0.05 mg/kg, of zinc 0.20 mg/kg, of lead 0.05 mg/kg. In the baby milk “Nitricia Malyuk Istrynsky,” only zinc was found to exceed the normal level (by 0.1 mg/kg). The baby milks “Nutricia Milupa 2,” “Nestle Nestogen 2,” “HiPP Organic 2” do not contain excessive heavy metals, and thus, can be recommended as safe for consumption.
From Researching the Queering Potential of Music Therapy to Queering Music Therapy: An Unexpected Journey
Authors: Fent Julia 
Published: November 2019

In my article, I intend to trace the route from which the development and realization of an arts-based research project has led me. In this still ongoing project, I am aiming to explore in what way improvisation in music therapy fosters the emergence of ways of feeling and expressing that are excluded from hegemonic discourse and thus enables personal growth and development also in ways marginalized through certain societal norms. I started off with a theoretical concept merging psychoanalysis, queer theory, and music therapy theory and wanted to explore the specific potentials of musical action, which this concept entails. I chose an arts-based research style for this examination, as I intended not only to formulate and discuss these potentials,but also to focus on how they are experienced by individuals. I felt that, if I am interested in direct experience, I had to involve research methods that induce this experience – merely talking or thinking about them would not bring me far in that respect.
As the project is still ongoing, I cannot provide a final presentation of results here. However, there is already one result which I want to make the main topic of this article. Unexpectedly, in the course of the project I not only dealt with queering in respect to contents, but queering was also a process in which I found myself. In this article, I will elaborate why and how this happened.
I will first outline the motivation and development of the research project. Next, I will focus on the theoretical framework: first from the work of Julia Kristeva (1984/1974) – particularly Kristeva’s conception of the subject as a sujet-en-procès (a subject-in-process) and the conception of different modes of meaning-making, and second from queer theory. Finally, I will elaborate on my personal experiences during the project which enabled me to critically examine music therapy in a way of ‘queering’ my understanding of music therapy.
Imagining Something Else: A Queer Essay
Authors: Gilbertson Simon 
Published: November 2019

This queer essay is in three sections. In the first two sections I take two different flights over the realms of sense, terminology, speaking, in-bodyment, and materiality. In some of the moments of reading, I will be considering the potentially oppressive+anti-oppressive and the potentially tortuous+emancipatory. Underlying the written words and drawn images, I wonder how disciplinary queering of the scene reveals how people and things are inseparable.
No matter what my questioning verbal discourse may do, I am also reminded that SomeThings and SomeBodies also remain resilient and agential. I wish to show how I think it is actually im+materiality which does the queering towards which I increasingly feel called to attend and care. I consider how systematic disengagement from, and diffraction of dominant narrative mechanisms scream out for the perception of a multiplicity of ontological commitments: Could the capacities of what I call the ‘Queer Nervous non-System (QNn-S)’ emancipate the anthropocentric from the Central, Peripheral and Social Nervous Systems?
In the final third section, I introduce my thoughts about Materiality Inscription Analysis (MIA) aimed at how to perform reiterative flights and queering within music therapy research and practice. This is one way that I am advocating for the persistent study of the ontogeneology and ontogenesis of music therapy.
With this digitalized hand-written and drawn essay I wish a renewed unsettling of the becomings of music therapy, that it/they may be globally uniqued, may be temporary, and may be polymodally sensed. Somethings else, somethings more. Perhaps.
Proximal Tubule–Derived Amphiregulin Amplifies and Integrates Profibrotic EGF Receptor Signals in Kidney Fibrosis

Published: November 2019

Significance Statement
Sustained activation of EGF receptor (EGFR) in proximal tubule cells (PTCs) is a hallmark of fibrotic CKD, but the molecular mechanism(s) involved are unknown. Here, we show that the injury-upregulated, low-affinity EGFR ligand amphiregulin (AREG) amplifies its own signaling in PTCs and integrates signals of other moderately injury-upregulated EGFR ligands by inducing the transcriptional regulator Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1). In vivo, AREG is necessary and sufficient to induce kidney fibrosis after injury, as AREG PTC-knockout mice exhibit protection and soluble AREG injection suffices to reverse protection in mice that cannot release EGFR ligands from PTCs. Our results identify AREG as a critical driver of the transition of kidney injury to fibrosis.

Background
Sustained activation of EGF receptor (EGFR) in proximal tubule cells is a hallmark of progressive kidney fibrosis after AKI and in CKD. However, the molecular mechanisms and particular EGFR ligands involved are unknown.

Methods
We studied EGFR activation in proximal tubule cells and primary tubular cells isolated from injured kidneys in vitro. To determine in vivo the role of amphiregulin, a low-affinity EGFR ligand that is highly upregulated with injury, we used ischemia-reperfusion injury or unilateral ureteral obstruction in mice with proximal tubule cell–specific knockout of amphiregulin. We also injected soluble amphiregulin into knockout mice with proximal tubule cell–specific deletion of amphiregulin’s releasing enzyme, the transmembrane cell-surface metalloprotease, a disintegrin and metalloprotease-17 (ADAM17), and into ADAM17 hypomorphic mice.

Results
Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1)–dependent upregulation of amphiregulin transcript and protein amplifies amphiregulin signaling in a positive feedback loop. YAP1 also integrates signals of other moderately injury-upregulated, low-affinity EGFR ligands (epiregulin, epigen, TGFα), which also require soluble amphiregulin and YAP1 to induce sustained EGFR activation in proximal tubule cells in vitro. In vivo, soluble amphiregulin injection sufficed to reverse protection from fibrosis after ischemia-reperfusion injury in ADAM17 hypomorphic mice; injected soluble amphiregulin also reversed the corresponding protective proximal tubule cell phenotype in injured proximal tubule cell–specific ADAM17 knockout mice. Moreover, the finding that proximal tubule cell–specific amphiregulin knockout mice were protected from fibrosis after ischemia-reperfusion injury or unilateral ureteral obstruction demonstrates that amphiregulin was necessary for the development of fibrosis.

Conclusions
Our results identify amphiregulin as a key player in injury-induced kidney fibrosis and suggest therapeutic or diagnostic applications of soluble amphiregulin in kidney disease.
