O Maciço Rio Apa constitui exposições de rochas paleoproterozoicas na porção extremo sul do Cráton Amazônico. A região é constituída por rochas do Complexo Rio Apa, Grupo Alto Tererê e pelo Grupo Amonguijá, formado pelas suítes Vulcânica Serra da Bocaina e Plutônica do Batólito Alumiador. O segmento norte do batólito é caracterizado por rochas ácidas-básicas da Serra da Alegria, ocorrendo, na parte central, rochas da Sequência Magmática Ácida-Intermediária, representadas pelo granito homônimo. No seu entorno, no sopé das escarpas, aflora a Sequência Magmática Gabro-Anortosítica da Serra da Alegria, composta por magnetita gabro, quartzo gabro a leuco gabro, pegmatito básico e anortosito. Essas rochas gabroides constituem uma ocorrência magmática, cumulática básica, estratiforme, semiconcordante, formada por processos de cristalização fracionada, por flotação dos plagioclásios em anortosito, nas porções superiores da câmara magmática e, na parte inferior, por segregação gravítica, a concentração de cumulus de óxido de ferro constitui magnetita gabro e magnetitito. Os minerais magmáticos identificados correspondem a andesina-labradorita, apresentando teor de anortita entre An36,76– An58,06 e clinopiroxênio cálcico do tipo ferro-augita e augita. Os óxidos de ferro predominantes são ferromagnetita, com valores de FeOt entre 88,03 e 92,98%, e titanomagnetita, com valores de TiO2 entre 1,13 e 6,39%. As fases subordinadas são representadas por vanádio magnetita, com valores de V2O5 entre 0,75 e 0,98%, e ilmenita. O magmatismo básico-anortosítico sin a pós-orogênico foi resultado da cristalização de um magma mantélico primário que, associado a processos de diferenciação, gerou variedades de gabros e diabásios de composições Fe-toleíticas e diferenciados anortosíticos, em ambientes de arco de ilha a intraplaca.

Background
Coronary heart disease is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Iron deficiency, a frequent comorbidity of coronary heart disease, causes an increased expression of transferrin receptor and soluble transferrin receptor levels (sTfR) levels, while iron repletion returns sTfR levels to the normal physiological range. Recently, sTfR levels were proposed as a potential new marker of iron metabolism in cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of circulating sTfR levels in a large cohort of patients with coronary heart disease.

Methods and Results

The disease cohort comprised 3423 subjects who had angiographically documented coronary heart disease and who participated in the AtheroGene study. Serum levels of sTfR were determined at baseline using an automated immunoassay (Roche Cobas Integra 400). Two main outcomes were considered: a combined end point of myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death and cardiovascular death alone. During a median follow‐up of 4.0 years, 10.3% of the patients experienced an end point. In Cox regression analyses for sTfR levels, the hazard ratio (HR) for future cardiovascular death and/or myocardial infarction was 1.27 (95% CI, 1.11–1.44,
P
<0.001) after adjustment for sex and age. This association remained significant (HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.03–1.46,
P
=0.02) after additional adjustment for body mass index, smoking status, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, C‐reactive protein, and surrogates of cardiac function, size of myocardial necrosis (hs‐Tnl), and hemoglobin levels.

Conclusions
In this large cohort study, sTfR levels were strongly associated with future myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death. This implicates a role for sTfR in secondary cardiovascular risk prediction.
The Theologian and the Torturer
Authors: Friedman Michael D. 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Craig Pearce’s TNT series Will (2017) incorporates many of the same historical facts used by biographers to argue that Shakespeare was a Catholic, but he employs them to criticize the excesses of fundamentalist religions, past and present. Pearce depicts the Jesuit priest Southwell as both an ardent defender of his faith and an ambitious zealot who is indifferent to the suffering of his supporters, who are tortured and executed as a result of their connection to him. Concurrently, Pearce portrays Richard Topcliffe, Queen Elizabeth’s torturer, as a Puritan who enjoys sadistically tormenting recusant Catholics on behalf of England’s Protestant government. Pearce links these characterizations to contemporary religious fundamentalists, specifically supporters of enhanced interrogations among the Religious Right and Muslim extremists who perform public executions. The religious partisanism that Pearce condemns in Will should also be avoided in biographical studies of Shakespeare.
Human Nature Is the Bride
Authors: Cere Daniel 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Recent scholarship has accented the impact of evolving forms of bridal mysticism on late medieval popular spiritualities of the Low Countries. Under the laicizing impulses of Devotio Moderna, these narratives were extended as models for the spiritual life of the laity as well as the consecrated religious. A number of Bosch’s key works appear to engage and explore the themes of bridal anthropology, as well as advance perspectives on bridal eschatology. These intersections between the Boschian imagination and the evolving tradition of bridal mysticism shed light on the puzzling play of the religious and the erotic in his work.
Packaging Polytheism as Monotheism
Authors: Jacob Ashna Mary , Menon Nirmala 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
This essay deconstructs the godhead that Tolkien constructs in his mythopoeia. Tolkien’s polychronicon, The Silmarillion, splits the godhead between a creator God and a pantheon of gods and goddesses. Tolkien claims that Ilúvatar is a Yahweh-like God and the primary deity; on the other hand, the Valar, the fourteen gods and goddesses created by this primary God, who assist in creation, shape the world, have power over elements, and reign as ‘mistaken gods’ among the Elves, Dwarves, and Men, are not deities. This split of godhead is ignored, and the mythopoeic deity acclaimed as the biblical God and his angels is upheld as a Christian allegory. The essay negates the Christian parallels associated with Ilúvatar and Valar and establishes that Tolkien packages polytheism as monotheism. Monotheism does not permit secondary god/gods. Polytheism on the other hand often features an abstract creator God who creates a polytheistic pantheon. Tolkien’s model, which features a Creator deity and a pantheon of created deities, falls under the second category. The essay infers that Tolkien’s two-tier godhead firstly invalidates the norm of monotheism, and secondly conforms to creator deity and created deity structure of polytheism.

In light of the hypothesis that different authors, who have access to the same information and tools, can give different interpretations of the same reality, namely the vascular plants, existing within a determinate geographic boundary, this research aims to verify how and to what extent these differences can affect a checklist, and what critical issues and positive effects may arise in them. To this purpose, we compared two different checklists which were developed approximately in the same period for the same geographic area, the island of Sardinia (Italy). The results show that checklists of the same area can differ in quantitative terms, establishing a different value of floristic richness. Moreover, they can differ in qualitative terms due to the different approach adopted by the authors concerning nomenclature, taxonomy, and interpretation, delimitation, and circumscription of taxa. These discrepancies may have positive side effects as they offer insights for critical reviews and further investigation.

Published: April 2020

AbstractHeated tipping-bucket (TB) gauges are used broadly in national weather monitoring networks, but their performance for the measurement of solid precipitation has not been well characterized. Manufacturer-provided TB gauges were evaluated at five test sites during the World Meteorological Organization Solid Precipitation Intercomparison Experiment (WMO-SPICE), with most gauge types tested at more than one site. The test results were used to develop and evaluate adjustments for the undercatch of solid precipitation by heated TB gauges. New methods were also developed to address challenges specific to measurements from heated TB gauges. Tipping-bucket transfer functions were created specifically to minimize the sum of errors over the course of the adjusted multiseasonal accumulation. This was based on the hypothesis that the best transfer function produces the most accurate long-term precipitation records, rather than accurate catch efficiency measurements or accurate daily or hourly precipitation measurements. Using this new approach, an adjustment function derived from multiple gauges was developed that performed better than traditional gauge-specific and multigauge catch efficiency derived adjustments. Because this new multigauge adjustment was developed using six different types of gauges tested at five different sites, it may be applicable to solid precipitation measurements from unshielded heated TB gauges that were not evaluated in WMO-SPICE. In addition, this new method of optimizing transfer functions may be useful for other types of precipitation gauges, as it has many practical advantages over the traditional catch efficiency methods used to derive undercatch adjustments.
The Influence of the Resolution of Orography on the Simulation of Orographic Moist Convection

Abstract
Currently, major efforts are under way to refine the horizontal resolution of weather and climate models to kilometer-scale grid spacing (Δx). Besides refining the representation of the atmospheric dynamics and enabling the use of explicit convection, this will also provide higher resolution in the representation of orography. This study investigates the influence of these resolution increments on the simulation of orographic moist convection. Nine days of fair-weather thermally driven flow over the Alps are analyzed. Two sets of simulations with the COSMO model are compared, each consisting of three runs at Δx of 4.4, 2.2, and 1.1 km: one set using a fixed representation of orography at a resolution of 8.8 km, and one with varying representation at the resolution of the computational mesh. The spatial distribution of precipitation during daytime is only marginally affected by the orographic details, but nighttime convection to the south of the Alps—triggered by cold-air outflow from the valleys—is very sensitive to orography and precipitation is enhanced if more detailed orography is provided. During daytime, the onset of precipitation is delayed. The amplitude of the diurnal cycle of precipitation is reduced, even though more moisture converges toward the Alpine region during the afternoon. The hereby accumulated moisture sustains precipitation during the evening and nighttime over the surrounding plains. For these differences, the effects of changes in orographic detail are more important than changes in grid spacing. In addition, the individual convective cells are weaker, but their number increases with higher resolved orography.
Technology symbolization: political mechanism of local e-government adoption and implementation
Authors: Tan Haibo , Zhao Xuejiao , Zhang Nan 
Published: April 2020

Why did some local e-government projects start off with a bang but end with a whimper? Using the case study of an online administrative approval system in Jiangmen, China, this study explores the political mechanism behind the adoption and implementation of local e-government projects. We propose a framework for analyzing the adoption and implementation of e-government projects that encompasses three aspects: environment (political institutions); process (perceptions of information technology, power relations, and strategic interaction); and performance. The political environment shapes people’s perceptions of information technology and provides motivations and constraints for relevant stakeholders. Stakeholders choose different strategies and actions based on their positions in the power structure, which finally influences the performance of the project. In this study, due to local government leaders’ motivation to seek political achievement and subordinate agencies’ strategic responses in the Chinese political system, the online system finally turned into a symbolic tool that did very little to improve government performance. Points for practitioners • A framework is proposed for analyzing the adoption and implementation of e-government projects that encompasses three aspects: environment (political institutions); process (perceptions of information technology, power relations, and strategic interaction); and performance. • A concept—technology symbolization—is emphasized by exploring the ways in which e-government can be used as a promotion tool for local officials. • With the advent of the new generations of information technology, e-government practitioners cannot ignore the political environment and the impact of political institutions on information technology implementation.
The role of online ethics consultation on mental health

Published: April 2020

Background Nurses experience moral distress when they cannot do what they believe is right or when they must do what they believe is wrong. Given the limited mechanisms for managing ethical issues for nurses in Japan, an Online Ethics Consultation on mental health (OEC) was established open to anyone seeking anonymous consultation on mental health practice. Research objective To report the establishment of the Online Ethics Consultation and describe and evaluate its effectiveness. Ethical considerations The research was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Research design This evaluation describes the outcomes of 5 years of operation of the Online Ethics Consultation on mental health in Japan Participants The Online Ethics Consultation received 12 emails requesting consultation. Consultees included mental health nurses, psychiatrists, and service users. Findings The most common questions directed to the service were about seclusion and physical restraint. Response time from receipt of email to sending a reply was between 1 and 14 days. Despite the disappointing number of consultations, feedback has been positive. Discussion The Online Ethics Consultation was established to assist morally sensitive nurses in resolving their ethical problems through provision of unbiased and encouraging advice. Mental health care in Japan has been less than ideal: long-term social hospitalization, seclusion, and restraint are common practices that often lead to moral distress in nurses and the questions received reflected this. The head of the Online Ethics Consultation sent a supportive, facilitative response summarizing the opinions of several consultants. Conclusion This study provides key information for the establishment of an online ethics resource the adoption of which has the potential to improve the experience of nurses, allied health and clients of mental health services. This paper has implications for services concerned with improving patient care, managing nurses’ moral distress, building ethics into decision-making.

Published: April 2020

Introduction: standardised protocols for the care of geriatric hip fractures demonstrate improved patient outcomes with decreased cost. The purpose of this study is to evaluate outcomes of a standardised hip fracture protocol at an urban safety-net hospital. Methods: All trauma patients presenting to our urban safety-net hospital are included in a trauma database and inpatient outcomes recorded. A hip fracture protocol was introduced at our institution in 2015, which depended on admission to a monitored setting due to the absence of a geriatric co-management service. The database was queried to identify patients surgically treated for a geriatric hip fracture in the 3 years prior to protocol implementation (2012–2014) and patients treated in the 3 years following protocol implementation (2016–2018). Demographics, time to surgery, inpatient complications, and length of stay were compared between groups. Results: A total of 633 patients treated operatively for isolated hip fractures were identified, 262 patients in the 2012–2014 pre-protocol cohort, and 371 patients in the 2016–2018 protocol cohort. Following implementation of a hip fracture protocol the number of patients admitted to a surgical service increased from 198 (76%) to 348 (94%, p < 0.005) with the number of patients being admitted to a monitored setting increasing from 40 (15%) to 83 (22%, p = 0.026). The time to surgery was reduced to 2.75 days ( p = 0.054). The complication rate fell from 23% to 4% ( p < 0.0005). Length of stay was significantly reduced from 13.2 days to 12 days ( p = 0.045). Conclusions: A hip fracture protocol including admission to a monitored setting can be effectively implemented at an urban safety-net hospital where geriatric co-management is not available. This resulted in a decrease in complications and length of stay. Additional interventions are required to decrease average time to surgery below 36 hours.
Catastrophic failure of the Accolade I hip arthroplasty stem: a retrieval analysis study
Authors: Wylde Christopher W , Jenkins Elizabeth , Pabbruwe Moreica , Bucher Thomas 
Published: April 2020

Purpose: Modular Morse tapered femoral arthroplasty stems have been used for many years with great success and minimal complications. 1 stem, the Accolade by Stryker is noted to have increased failure when used in combination with LFIT V40 CoCr or the MITCH CoCr femoral heads. The failure has been in the form of corrosion, metallosis, fretting and trunnion fracture. This paper explores 10 cases with trunnion failure. Methods: A retrospective retrieval analysis of ten femoral stems retrieved at four different centres across Western Australia over a 3-year time frame. Inclusion criteria for this analysis included the use of Accolade 1 TMZF femoral stem plus either a MITCH or LFIT modular head. Results: 10 Accolade I (Stryker) stems were retrieved as part of the analysis, 6 with the LFIT V40 36-mm femoral head and 4 with a MITCH TRH femoral head. Average in situ time was 8.9 years. The hips were revised for either trunnion dislocation (6 cases) or trunnion fracture (4 cases). A characteristic destructive wear pattern of the femoral taper (trunnion) a “bird beak” appearance was present in all stems. This wear pattern created excessive movement and loosening resulting in a trunnion/head dislocation or brittle fracture of the trunnion. Conclusions: Catastrophic femoral neck fracture was likely due to a combination of material composition mismatch and mechanically assisted fretting corrosion at the head-neck junction leading to gross metallosis and failure. We suggest a recall on patients with an Accolade 1 stems in combination with a 36-mm or above LFIT or MITCH head, and for these patients to have clinical and radiological review.

Background and aimsCrohn’s disease (CD) frequently affects young women and may require surgery during pregnancy. Data regarding operation for CD in expectant mothers are scare.Materials and methodsThis was a retrospective nationwide survey from the GETAID Chirurgie. Any woman with CD undergoing surgery during pregnancy was eligible.ResultsA total of 15 cases were collected between 1992 and 2015. Most operations were performed due to penetrating or stricturing complications. Mean gestational age at delivery was 34 weeks, with a mean birth weight of 2507 g. Maternal post‐operative complications occurred in two‐thirds of cases. Maternal mortality rate was 6.7% and neonatal mortality rate 9.1%.ConclusionsThis is the largest case series of surgery for CD during pregnancy. This operation may have significant morbidity and mortality for mother, fetus, and newborn. Indication needs to be tailored to maternal status, disease severity, and gestational age. Surgery should be managed by experienced gynecologists, physicians, and surgeons. Active CD may be associated with a greater risk to the fetus than the surgical procedure itself.
Does body mass index influence quality-of-life recovery in individuals who underwent total knee arthroplasty: A prospective study
Authors: Tanaka Shigeharu , Amano Tetsuya , Inoue Yu , Tanaka Ryo , Ito Hideyuki , Morikawa Shinya 
Published: April 2020

Background/Purpose: To clarify the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and quality-of-life (QOL) recovery in individuals who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: This prospective cohort study included 80 individuals who underwent TKA. The dependent variable was the Japanese Knee Osteoarthritis Measure used for assessing the QOL, and the independent variables were age, sex, BMI, and the Kellgren–Lawrence grade. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to clarify whether BMI was a significant independent variable after accounting for other factors. Results: Sex was found to be the only significant predictor ( β = 0.29, p < 0.05), and BMI was not related to QOL recovery in individuals who underwent TKA. Conclusion: This result suggests that sex was related to QOL recovery and should be assessed and that BMI was not related to QOL recovery in individuals who underwent TKA. These results may help health-care providers to identify individuals who might struggle with QOL recovery.
