Diversity and Decency
Authors: Polanowska-Sygulska Beata 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
George Crowder’s article makes an interesting contribution to the literature on value pluralism. Yet, as a commentary onmy essay (Polanowska-Sygulska, 2019c) it is entirely misconceived. Crowder’s reading of my text is inadequate, in terms of both the legal and the philosophical aspects of my argument. Having ascribed to me the belief that pluralism always favors cultural diversity against legal uniformity (a belief which I do nothold), he argues that a single uniform law may engender more value diversity than a multiplicity of local legal systems. This may indeed be so, but it is notmy concern. What Isaiah Berlin aimed at more than anything else was to bring about a decent society, which at times requires the pursuit of other values to be limited. I share his approach and therefore argue that, for the sake of decency, both value diversity and cultural diversity may sometimes need to be restricted.
Gender and Educational Variations in the Earnings Premiums of Occupational Credentials
Authors: Kim Jeounghee , Chatterji Sangeeta 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Occupational credentials such as professional licenses and certifications are known to generate significant earnings premiums. Based on this, the federal workforce development policy focuses on industry-recognized occupational credentials for less-educated adults to help them obtain family-supporting jobs without having to invest in a postsecondary degree. This study used data from the 2016–2019 Current Population Survey (CPS) outgoing rotation group samples to examine differences in the earnings premiums associated with occupational credentials by gender and education. Our analyses revealed that the earnings premium of job-required credential holding was greater for women than men. For women, estimates of the earnings premiums do not vary much by education level, while for men, those without a Bachelor's degree tend to have high premiums than those without.

AbstractPaper mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera) is a tree species that has many economic, ecological, and social uses. This study developed an efficient protocol for regenerating shoots from leaf explants using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations of plant growth regulators (PGRs), which play vital roles in shoot regeneration. The best result, 86.67% induction frequency and 4.35 shoots per explant, was obtained in the MS medium containing 2.0 mg/L N6-benzyladenine (BA) and 0.05 mg/L indole-3-butyric acid. The effects of explant age, orientation, and genotype were also investigated. Explants from young leaves had a greater regeneration frequency than those from old leaves, and the results were better when the distal end of the leaf explant contacted the medium versus the proximal end. Approximately 70.96% of the shoots rooted well in the MS medium containing 0.4 mg/L α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). Although some genotypes achieved poorer results, the regeneration protocol is still applicable for mass multiplication and genetic transformation.

Distortion isomers of cis-PtP2X2 and cis-PtP2XY derivatives – structural aspects
Authors: Melník Milan , Mikuš Peter 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
In this review, the structural parameters of distortion isomers of cis-monomeric Pt(II) coordination complexes with inner coordination spheres: Pt(PL)2X2 (X = OL, NL, SL, Br, I); Pt(PL)2(η2-X2L) (X = O2L, N2L, S2L, OSL, NSL, NSeL); Pt(η2-P2L)X2 (X = Br, I); Pt(η2-P2L)(η2-X2L) (X = O2L, OSL, NSL); Pt(η2-P2L)(NL)(Cl) and Pt(PL)(η2-P,SiL)(H) are analyzed. None of the distortion isomers with cis-configuration has a trans-partner. The distortion isomers differ mostly by the degree of distortion in the Pt-L and L-Pt-L angles. Some of the isomers also differ by crystal packing. The total mean values of Pt-P (monodentate) and Pt-P (bidentate) bond distances are 2.279 Å and 2.244 Å, respectively. The mean value of Pt-P (monodentate) (trans to H¯) of 2.320 Å is the highest one because of higher trans-influence of H¯ over PP3. The total mean values of Pt-X (trans to P) elongate quite well with the covalent radius of the X in the sequence: 1.57 Å (X = H) < 2.062 Å (O2L) < 2.095 Å (OL) < 2.108 Å (NL) < 2.154 Å (N2L) < 2.329 Å (Cl) < 2.342 Å (S2L) < 2.347 Å (SL) < 2.480 Å (Br) < 2.616 Å (I).
A Ring-Shear Radial-Seepage Apparatus for Evaluating the Permeability of Shear Bands in Compacted Clay
Authors: Wang Gang , Wang Wei , Wei Xing 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Compacted clay cores are extensively used in rockfill dams to cut off water flow because of their low permeability and wide availability. Large differential settlement often occurs at certain locations in a dam, causing large shear concentrations in the compacted clay core in the form of shear bands. This raises concern about the permeability evolution in the shear bands in compacted clay during a large shear process. Thus, a ring-shear radial-seepage apparatus was developed for evaluating the permeability of the shear bands in compacted clay. The apparatus tests hollow cylindrical specimens that are held in a shear box, which consists of an upper box, lower box, and inner chamber. The specimen is compressed in the height direction and sheared in the circumferential direction to form a concentrated shear band. The permeability of the shear band is measured by radial-seepage from the inner side to the outer side of the hollow cylinder. To demonstrate the performance of the apparatus, a series of tests was conducted on compacted specimens of a clay used for the core wall of a high rockfill dam. The test results showed that the change in permeability of the shear bands in compacted clay was dependent on the surcharge pressure. If the current surcharge pressure was far less than the preconsolidation pressure caused by the previous compaction process, the permeability of the shear band might increase significantly. This experimental finding can be useful for identifying high-risk leakage zones in a dam with a compacted clay core.
The Doll’s Gift
Authors: Beehler Brianna 
Published: June 2020

Brianna Beehler, “The Doll’s Gift: Ventriloquizing Bleak House” (pp. 24–49)
This essay offers a new reading of the split narrative in Charles Dickens’s Bleak House (1852–53). Previous critics of the novel’s split narrative have primarily focused on the unequal knowledge and authority positions of the all-knowing third-person narrator and the unknowing first-person narrator, Esther Summerson. This division, however, does not fully account for the apparent slips and narrative exchanges between the two narrators, in which one narrator takes on the voice or knowledge position of the other. This essay takes up Robert Newsom’s suggestion that the only way to explain these “slips” is to conclude that Esther Summerson writes not only her own narration, but also that of the third-person narrator. However, the essay further argues that Esther uses the third-person narration to ventriloquize the voice of her mother, Lady Dedlock, in an effort to provide herself with the emotional support otherwise denied her. Readers may better understand Esther’s ventriloquism of the third-person narration by tracing how it mirrors her early daily ritual with her doll, in which she assumed both narrative positions at once. Object relations and gift theory further show how this dialogue creates a bond between the two narrations. Thus, characters and family structures that appear in the third-person narration and that may appear distant from Esther are actually her meditations on alternative maternal and familial relationships.

Abstract
Replication protein A (RPA) is essential for many facets of DNA metabolism. The RPA gene family expanded in Arabidopsis thaliana with five phylogenetically distinct RPA1 subunits (RPA1A-E), two RPA2 (RPA2A and B), and two RPA3 (RPA3A and B). RPA1 paralogs exhibit partial redundancy and functional specialization in DNA replication (RPA1B and RPA1D), repair (RPA1C and RPA1E), and meiotic recombination (RPA1A and RPA1C). Here, we show that RPA subunits also differentially impact telomere length set point. Loss of RPA1 resets bulk telomeres at a shorter length, with a functional hierarchy for replication group over repair and meiosis group RPA1 subunits. Plants lacking RPA2A, but not RPA2B, harbor short telomeres similar to the replication group. Telomere shortening does not correlate with decreased telomerase activity or deprotection of chromosome ends in rpa mutants. However, in vitro assays show that RPA1B2A3B unfolds telomeric G-quadruplexes known to inhibit replications fork progression. We also found that ATR deficiency can partially rescue short telomeres in rpa2a mutants, although plants exhibit defects in growth and development. Unexpectedly, the telomere shortening phenotype of rpa2a mutants is completely abolished in plants lacking the RTEL1 helicase. RTEL1 has been implicated in a variety of nucleic acid transactions, including suppression of homologous recombination. Thus, the lack of telomere shortening in rpa2a mutants upon RTEL1 deletion suggests that telomere replication defects incurred by loss of RPA may be bypassed by homologous recombination. Taken together, these findings provide new insight into how RPA cooperates with replication and recombination machinery to sustain telomeric DNA.
Effect of antioxidant extracted from bamboo leaves on the quality of box-packaged sturgeon fillets stored at 4 °C

Published: June 2020

The effect of antioxidant extracted from bamboo leaves (AOB) on the quality of sturgeon fillets during chilled storage was examined via three parameters: total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), pH and bacterial community composition. The samples treated with 0.05% (w/v) AOB exhibited the best quality, as evidenced by retarding both pH changes and the production of TVB-N. Pseudomonas and Aeromonas were the dominant indigenous bacteria present in fresh sturgeon fillets, whereas the presence of Janthinobacterium and Pedobacter increased gradually throughout the storage process. A significant (P < 0.05) positive correlation was observed between the pH, TVB-N and two bacterial groups, Pseudomonas and Pedobacter. Based on the TVB-N assessment, the fillets began to decompose at the ninth day in the control samples and the twelfth day in the 0.05% AOB-treated samples. The relative abundance of Pseudomonas, Janthinobacterium and Pedobacter in the 0.05% AOB treatment group was lower than in the control group. Therefore, our results showed that treatment with 0.05% AOB improved the quality of fillets during the box-packaged storage.

Lessons Learned
The efficacy of second-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) without a sensitizing driver gene mutation is still unsatisfactory. The combination of apatinib and chemotherapy improved progression-free survival in the second-line therapy of advanced NSCLC without a sensitizing mutation. This study offers a new treatment strategy for second-line treatment of such patients but requires confirmation in a larger multi-institutional trial.

Background
This study explored the efficacy and safety of apatinib combined with single-agent chemotherapy versus single-agent chemotherapy in the second-line treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) without driver mutations.

Methods
In this double-arm, open label, exploratory clinical study, we enrolled patients with unresectable locally advanced or advanced NSCLC without driver mutations that had progressed following first-line chemotherapy. The subjects were allocated into an experimental group and a control group by 2:1. The experimental group received apatinib combined with four cycles of docetaxel or pemetrexed until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or discontinuation at the patient' request. The control group only received four cycles of docetaxel or pemetrexed. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), and safety.

Results
Thirty-seven patients were enrolled. The efficacy of 33 patients was evaluated. The median PFS was 5.47 versus 2.97 months, the DCR was 95% versus 73%, and the objective response rate (ORR) was 27% versus 9% in the experimental versus control group. The OS was still under follow-up. The most common adverse effects included hypertension, hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR), and fatigue.

Conclusion
Apatinib combined with single-agent chemotherapy may be a novel option for second-line treatment of advanced NSCLC

Introduction: Workerschr('39') accident-proneness is considered as an inherent and coherent feature in incidence of occupational accidents. Therefore, recognizing its determinants could be effective in preventing such accidents. This study aimed to investigate the effect of work locus of control and general health on accident-proneness with the regard to the mediating role of effort-reward imbalance.
Methods: This analytical and cross-sectional research was conducted in 2018 using structural equation modeling (SEM) with partial least square approach. In total, 225 employees with a history of occupational accidents in Esfahan Steel Company were selected. Data analysis was performed using SPSS-23 and SMARTPLS3.
Results: The obtained results indicated that the measurement and structural models were fitted. In addition, results demonstrated that all assumptions of the research were significant with the exception of the general health effect on accident proneness.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that by controlling the work environment stressors, such as balancing effort-reward, could reduce the accident- proneness. In addition, by checking the general health and work locus of control to prevent the occupational accidents in the sieving process, people with internal control should be selected for stressful occupations.of work locus of control and general health on accident-proneness with the regard to the mediating role of effort-reward imbalance.
