Assessing community resilience, housing recovery and impact of mitigation strategies at the urban scale: a case study after the 2012 Northern Italy Earthquake
Authors: Basaglia Alberto , Aprile Alessandra , Spacone Enrico , Pelà Luca 
Published: August 2020

AbstractIn this paper, the reconstruction process of a town affected by the 2012 Northern Italy Earthquake is analysed using information published on the town journal. Relevant aspects are highlighted, and the housing recovery is compared with that of a nearby city. Then, a what-if scenario is considered, by proposing a set of seismic mitigation strategies. These strategies are applied to a small sub-system of the city and the variation of the buildings’ vulnerability and expected damage is evaluated using a recently introduced methodology for risk assessments at the urban scale. Finally, a cost–benefit analysis is performed to assess the effectiveness of the proposed strategies. The analysis highlights a significant reduction in the expected damage and socioeconomic impact, as well as an increase in the overall performance of the urban system.

Published: August 2020

AbstractIt has been over half a century since cellular senescence was first noted and characterized, and yet no consensus senescent marker has been reliably established. This challenge is compounded by the complexity and heterogenic phenotypes of senescent cells. This necessitates the use of multiple biomarkers to confidently characterise senescent cells. Despite cytochemical staining of senescence associated-beta-galactosidase being a single marker approach, as well as being time and labour-intensive, it remains the most popular detection method. We have developed an alternative flow cytometry-based method that simultaneously quantifies multiple senescence markers at a single-cell resolution. In this study, we applied this assay to the quantification of both replicative and induced senescent primary cells. Using this assay, we were able to quantify the activity level of SA β-galactosidase, the expression level of p16INK4a and γH2AX in these cell populations. Our results show this flow cytometric approach to be sensitive, robust, and consistent in discriminating senescent cells in different cell senescence models. A strong positive correlation between these commonly- used senescence markers was demonstrated. The method described in this paper can easily be scaled up to accommodate high-throughput screening of senescent cells in applications such as therapeutic cell preparation, and in therapy-induced senescence following cancer treatment.

Abstract
Cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) domain-containing proteins (CDCPs) constitute a large family in plants, and members of this family have been implicated in a variety of biological processes. However, the precise functions and the underlying mechanisms of most members of this family in plants remain to be elucidated. CBSDUF proteins belong to the CDCP superfamily, which contains one domain of unknown function (DUF21) and an N terminus that is adjacent to two intracellular CBS domains. In this study, a comprehensive genome database analysis of soybean was performed to investigate the role(s) of these CBSDUFs and to explore their nomenclature, classification, chromosomal distribution, exon–intron organization, protein structure, and phylogenetic relationships; the analysis identified a total of 18 putative CBSDUF genes. Using specific protein domains and phylogenetic analysis, the CBSDUF gene family was subdivided into eight groups. The soybean CBSDUF genes showed an uneven distribution on 12 chromosomes of Glycine max. RNA-seq transcriptome data from different tissues in public databases revealed tissue-specific and differential expression profiles of the GmCBSDUFs, and qPCR analysis revealed that certain groups of soybean CBSDUFs are likely involved in specific stress responses. In addition, GmCBSDUF3 transgenic Arabidopsis was subjected to phenotypic analysis under NaCl, PEG, and ABA stress treatments. The overexpression of GmCBSDUF3 could enhance tolerance to drought and salt stress in Arabidopsis. This study presents a first comprehensive look at soybean CBSDUF proteins and provides valuable resources for functionally elucidating this protein subgroup within the CBS domain-containing protein family.

AbstractBackgroundAs more young patients with breast cancer undergo treatments and obtain good prognoses, the issue of postoperative reproduction in breast cancer patients has attracted more attention.MethodsWe conducted a prospective, cross-sectional survey of 2000 breast cancer-associated physicians using a 24-items questionnaire adapted from prior guides. Then we used a multivariable linear regression model to confirm independent associations between the propensity of physicians’ attitudes toward reproduction and physicians’ specific demographic characteristics.ResultsA total of 911/1249 (72.93%) eligible physicians completed the questionnaire. Regarding the most concerning topic of whether breast cancer patients could conceive, 65 (7.1%) physicians having low and 457 (50.2%) physicians having high propensity for recommending reproduction. For ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) after surgery and radiotherapy, 599 (65.8%) physicians did not agree with the recommendation to conceive. 231 (25.4%) highly agree with the recommendation of reproduction for 2 years after surgery in invasive breast cancer patients with lymph nodes-negative. Only 140 (15.4%) physicians did not agree with the recommendation for 5 years after surgery in invasive breast cancer patients with lymph nodes-positive. A total of 861 (94.5%) physicians stated that they advised the patients to consult experts from other disciplines, such as gynecology, oncology, genetic and psychology disciplines. In multivariable analysis, more positive attitude toward reproduction was significantly associated with male, more than 11 times of participating in academic forum on breast cancer, 1–2 times of consulting about reproduction problems after breast cancer surgery per outpatient service and more than 11 min spending on solving the problem about reproduction in early breast cancer.ConclusionThis study showed that attitudes towards reproduction of young breast cancer patients from physicians in China. Physicians had a high propensity for recommending reproduction. Compared with the two reproduction guidelines recommendation when to reproduce in different circumstances for breast cancer patients, physicians from China remained a relatively conservative attitude. Most physicians advised the patients to consult experts from other disciplines, such as gynecology, oncology, genetic and psychology disciplines.
Are Catastrophic Misinterpretations of Bodily Sensations Typical for Patients with Panic Disorder? An Experimental Study of Patients with Panic Disorder or Other Anxiety Disorders and Healthy Controls
Authors: Ohst Barnabas , Tuschen-Caffier Brunna 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Background
Research on catastrophic misinterpretations of bodily sensations in patients with a diagnosis of panic disorder has yielded inconsistent findings concerning the question of how typical these misinterpretations are and how this compares with other anxiety disorders. Limitations of assessment strategies concerning catastrophic misinterpretations have been discussed. We assessed catastrophic misinterpretations by activating participants’ fear memory, as has been suggested.

Methods
Participants in the experimental group (EG) were shown a suspenseful film clip to induce physiological arousal before completing a measure of catastrophic misinterpretation (BSIQ-FR). Skin conductance level (SCL) was used as marker for physiological arousal.

Results
As expected, the film manipulation led to a significant increase in physiological arousal in the EG compared to the control group (CG) across all disorder groups. ANOVAs did not show significant interactions between factors Group (Panic Disorder, Other Anxiety Disorder, and Healthy Controls) and Condition (EG, CG). However, comparison of means indicated that participants with panic disorder showed more catastrophic misinterpretations of bodily sensations than patients with other anxiety disorders in the EG, but not in the CG.

Conclusions
The findings indicate that the activation of fear memory via induction of physiological arousal facilitated the measurement of catastrophic misinterpretations, and provide further evidence that catastrophic misinterpretations of bodily sensations are typical for panic disorder.
The Unintended Impact of Colombia’s Covid-19 Lockdown on Forest Fires

Published: August 2020

AbstractThe covid-19 pandemic led to rapid and large-scale government intervention in economies and societies. A common policy response to covid-19 outbreaks has been the lockdown or quarantine. Designed to slow the spread of the disease, lockdowns have unintended consequences for the environment. This article examines the impact of Colombia’s lockdown on forest fires, motivated by satellite data showing a particularly large upsurge of fires at around the time of lockdown implementation. We find that Colombia’s lockdown is associated with an increase in forest fires compared to three different counterfactuals, constructed to simulate the expected number of fires in the absence of the lockdown. To varying degrees across Colombia’s regions, the presence of armed groups is correlated with this fire upsurge. Mechanisms through which the lockdown might influence fire rates are discussed, including the mobilisation of armed groups and the reduction in the monitoring capacity of state and conservation organisations during the covid-19 outbreak. Given the fast-developing situation in Colombia, we conclude with some ideas for further research.
Students’ perceptions of teaching behaviour in Turkish secondary education: a Mokken Scaling of My Teacher Questionnaire

Published: August 2020

AbstractTeacher behaviour has significant impact on student learning and outcomes and determines the teaching quality in learning environments. The My Teacher Questionnaire (MTQ) has been used to assess students’ perceptions of teaching behaviour in national and international studies with well-cited outcomes. In this cross-sectional survey study, we adjusted and shortened the MTQ for diverse settings in Turkish secondary education, using the nonparametric IRT model, Mokken Scaling (MS). The sample consisted of 12,036 students (grade 9–12, age 15–19 years) involving 446 classes/teachers from 24 general public high schools in Turkey. More than half of the students (n = 6544, 54.40%) were females, while 306 students (2.5%) did not report their gender. The MS polytomous Double Monotonicity Model (DMM) was employed for scaling the individual student data. The ten selected items (MTQ10) showed a strong unidimensional structure (H = 0.61) with good internal reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.93, Molenaar Sijtsmaρ = 0.93) and construct validity. The final structure was tested on three random data sets and convergent validity of the MTQ10 was examined using student engagement in learning. The scale MTQ10 functioned well across various groups (random samples, genders, grades, subjects). Based on these results, MTQ10 reveals strong psychometric quality for the assessment of students’ perceptions of teaching behaviour with the potential to deepen our understanding of teaching behaviours and teaching quality in Turkey.
Is Cell-to-Cell Scale Variability Necessary in Reservoir Models?

Published: August 2020

AbstractReservoir models typically contain hundreds-of-thousands to millions of grid cells in which petrophysical properties such as porosity and permeability vary on a cell-to-cell basis. However, although the petrophysical properties of rocks do vary on a point-to-point basis, this variability is not equivalent to the cell-to-cell variations in models. We investigate the impact of removing cell-to-cell variability on predictions of fluid flow in reservoir models. We remove cell-to-cell variability from models containing hundreds of thousands of unique porosity and permeability values to yield models containing just a few tens of unique porosity and permeability values grouped into a few internally homogeneous domains. The flow behavior of the original model is used as a reference. We find that the impact of cell-to-cell variability on predicted flow is small. Cell-to-cell variability is not necessary to capture flow in reservoir models; rather, it is the spatially correlated variability in petrophysical properties that is important. Reservoir modelling effort should focus on capturing correlated geologic domains in the most realistic and computationally efficient manner.
A gender-stereotyped representation of Marie in Jean-Philippe Toussaint’s tetralogy M. M. M. M. (2017)
Authors: Brodahl Greta 
Published: August 2020

AbstractThis article examines the portrait of Marie in Toussaint (M.M.M.M., ed. de Minuit, Paris, 2017) and asks how Marie is represented as a woman in the tetralogy. The study shows that although Marie is portrayed as a modern, independent woman, she is also presented with different gender-stereotyped characteristics. The theoretical and methodological approach to this topic will be based on Simone de Beauvoir’s The second sex (1949), in particular the chapter “Myths” that focuses on women and myths in a historical perspective. Another question the article raises is what may be the author’s intention by playing with stereotyped characteristics. I will argue that the author exposes a modern woman’s ambivalent situation in our patriarchal society. Furthermore, that he writes within a literary tradition that gives a stereotyped representation of women as part of the collective myths.
Policy Preferences and Policy Legitimacy After Referendums: Evidence from the Brexit Negotiations
Authors: Hobolt Sara B. , Tilley James , Leeper Thomas J. 
Published: August 2020

AbstractHow do votes in direct democratic ballots translate into policy preferences about future outcomes and affect the perceived legitimacy of those outcomes? This article examines these questions in the context of sovereignty referendums: specifically, the 2016 referendum on British membership of the European Union (EU). While the referendum result gave the British government a mandate for Britain leaving the EU, it did not provide any firm guidance as to the kind of Brexit that voters would prefer and consider legitimate. To examine the perceived desirability and legitimacy of different Brexit outcomes, we conducted a nationally representative conjoint experiment measuring attitudes towards different possible negotiation outcomes. Our findings show that ‘Leave’ and ‘Remain’ voters were highly divided over what they wanted from Brexit on salient negotiation issues, but also that most voters did not regard any possible outcome as legitimate.

Published: August 2020

AbstractThe chlorate elimination potential of three commercial activated carbon supported 10 wt% palladium catalysts (Cat-I, Cat-II and Cat-III) have been compared in heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation. The physical–chemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and ζ potential measurements. Chlorate reduction tests have been carried out by applying the same procedure and conditions in each case. The studied catalysts were active, but Cat-I and Cat-III showed higher activity, and eliminated 93% and 91% of chlorate, respectively. Reuse tests have also been carried out to compare the catalysts. Although Cat-I and Cat-III were shown almost equally high activity in the first cycle, the reuse tests showed that Cat-III could have a better applicability.
Geomechanical modelling and two-way coupling simulation for carbonate gas reservoir
Authors: Ahmed Barzan I. , Al-Jawad Mohammed S. 
Published: August 2020

AbstractGeomechanical modelling and simulation are introduced to accurately determine the combined effects of hydrocarbon production and changes in rock properties due to geomechanical effects. The reservoir geomechanical model is concerned with stress-related issues and rock failure in compression, shear, and tension induced by reservoir pore pressure changes due to reservoir depletion. In this paper, a rock mechanical model is constructed in geomechanical mode, and reservoir geomechanics simulations are run for a carbonate gas reservoir. The study begins with assessment of the data, construction of 1D rock mechanical models along the well trajectory, the generation of a 3D mechanical earth model, and running a 4D geomechanical simulation using a two-way coupling simulation method, followed by results analysis. A dual porosity/permeability model is coupled with a 3D geomechanical model, and iterative two-way coupling simulation is performed to understand the changes in effective stress dynamics with the decrease in reservoir pressure due to production, and therefore to identify the changes in dual-continuum media conductivity to fluid flow and field ultimate recovery. The results of analysis show an observed effect on reservoir flow behaviour of a 4% decrease in gas ultimate recovery and considerable changes in matrix contribution and fracture properties, with the geomechanical effects on the matrix visibly decreasing the gas production potential, and the effect on the natural fracture contribution is limited on gas inflow. Generally, this could be due to slip flow of gas at the media walls of micro-extension fractures, and the flow contribution and fracture conductivity is quite sufficient for the volume that the matrixes feed the fractures. Also, the geomechanical simulation results show the stability of existing faults, emphasizing that the loading on the fault is too low to induce fault slip to create fracturing, and enhanced permeability provides efficient conduit for reservoir fluid flow in reservoirs characterized by natural fractures.

Published: August 2020

AbstractInspired by the micro-nano structure on the surface of biological materials or living organisms, micro-nano structure has been widely investigated in the field of functional coatings. Due to its large specific surface area, porosity, and dual-scale structure, it has recently attracted special attention. The typical fabrication processes of micro-nano structured coatings include sol-gel, hydrothermal synthesis, chemical vapor deposition, etc. This paper presents the main features of a recent deposition and synthesis technique, liquid plasma spraying (LPS). LPS is an important technical improvement of atmospheric plasma spraying. Compared with atmospheric plasma spraying, LPS is more suitable for preparing functional coatings with micro-nano structure. Micro-nano structured coatings are mainly classified into hierarchical-structure and binary-structure. The present study reviews the preparation technology, structural characteristics, functional properties, and potential applications of LPS coatings with a micro-nano structure. The micro-nano structured coatings obtained through tailoring the structure will present excellent performances.

Published: August 2020

AbstractThis research examined social rehabilitation in the context of the components of community-based rehabilitation (CBR) through the experiences of elderly long-term unemployed in the re-employment process in Finland. Two questions were posed: ‘What kinds of experiences do the elderly long-term unemployed have of social rehabilitation?’ and ‘What can the key components of CBR—empowerment, participation and inclusion—offer for the re-employment process?’ We analysed social rehabilitation through the experiences of 15 elderly long-term unemployed individuals who had been employed in the intermediate labour market, and results showed they had experienced social rehabilitation in diametrically opposed ways, both positive and negative. The positive experiences included hopefulness, partnership, and re-employment, while a negative outlook, being left alone in the workplace community, and exclusion from the labour market were found amongst the negative experiences. Based on the results, we built a practical model of social rehabilitation, which we called the EPI model.
Der Standort des lyrischen Wir
Authors: Nebrig Alexander 
Published: August 2020

ZusammenfassungIn der Forschung zu Friedrich Hölderlins ›Der Ister‹ besteht ein Konsens darüber, dass die beiden Sprechinstanzen des Gedichtes denselben Standort haben. Diese Deutung identifiziert vorschnell das lyrische Wir der ersten Strophe mit dem lyrischen Ich. Dagegen wird hier das Wir als eine rhetorische Funktion des lyrischen Ich aufgefasst, das die abwesende Sprechergruppe der Sänger anwesend macht (I–II). Die Prosopopoiia wird textgenetisch hergeleitet und als kontrastive Exposition erörtert (III). Sie dient der lyrischen Rede über den Fluss ab der zweiten Strophe als Negativfolie. Die Distanz gegenüber dem lyrischen Wir stellt das lyrische Ich gleichfalls gegen die Tradition der Stromdichtung, die nicht mehr affirmativ gestaltet wird, sondern literalisiert und negiert wird (IV–VI).
